Fonterra’s shock drop in the milk price payout will signal the end of the road for some Mid Canterbury dairy farmers, an industry commentator says. Recent price falls on the Global Dairy Trade auction indicated a reduction in the farm gate payout was on the cards, however, few of the co-operative’s farmers were prepared for the 45c decline to $4.10 per kilogram of milksolids, announced yesterday. Combined with the earnings-pershare range of 45-55 cents, the total pay-

out equates to a forecast cash payout of $4.50-$4.55kg/MS for the 2015-16 season. Grow Mid Canterbury chief executive Rob Brawley said the latest drop would shave $61 million off the local economy, on top of the $400 million hit last season’s low prices delivered. DairyNZ estimated 85 per cent of farmers will post a loss this season. According to an economic survey released by DairyNZ last year, production costs sit around $5.59kg/MS, consisting of $4.38 on-farm working expenses and $1.21 in interest and debt servicing.

By this formula the majority of farmers will be down a minimum of $1.05kg/ MS, but they will not suffer the downturn alone, Federated Farmers Mid Canterbury dairy chairman Willy Leferink warned. “It is already tough out there and this will make it even tougher, it’s not good for anybody – not for the farmers or any other local businesses,” he said. “Any spending that was happening will stop now – there will only be hardship.”

Work to begin on goat milk factory BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Work is anticipated to start within the next month on a $4.5 million goat milk processing factory at Ashburton’s North East business park. Plans for the plant that would process goat milk infant formula for export to China were unveiled in April last year and within three weeks a building consent will be issued for the first stage of the project, the processing shed, which comes with a build cost of about $3 million. Consents for stage two, offices and a viewing area, are also being processed. This work has a consent value of $1.5 million. The factory and office complex will cover about

Big decisions ahead for district councillors BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

In less than nine months the Ashburton District will be led by a newly-elected team of local body politicians. Election day in the triennial local body elections is October 8, but between now and then some big decisions will need to be made by those already sitting around council tables – whether to stand again or not – and, for others, whether this will be the year they put their name on a ballot paper. Of Ashburton’s current crop of councillors several have already shown their hand, but only four – Stuart Wilson, Peter Reveley, Russell Ellis and Donna Favel – are definite starters. Three – Darryl Nelson, Alan Totty and Don McLeod are all definite departures, with Ken Cutforth and Martin Nordqvist saying they are

unlikely to seek re-election. Neil Brown, Rod Beavan and Alasdair Urquhart are yet to decide. That picture of departing councillors is reflected around New Zealand and that has Local Government New Zealand already signalling concerns about the potential lack of buy-in to this year’s elections. LGNZ president Laurence Yule wants to see a much higher participation by voters. Last year the national turn-out was just 41.3 per cent. He’s aiming to lift that to more than 50 per cent. If that occurs, it will be the first time since 1998 that the 50 per cent mark was breached. A larger pool of skilled candidates was another key step to improving local democracy and ensuring the value local government delivered to its communities remained high, Mr Yule said.

“Local government in New Zealand faces major challenges, from environmental issues to major infrastructure replacement, often in the face of demographic change. We need to ensure elected representatives have the abilities, training and diversity of skills to rise to these challenges,” he said. “Ultimately, how well local government performs impacts on how well communities and citizens prosper and succeed both now and into the future.” Candidate nominations in this year’s election open on July 15 and close at noon on August 12. Voting documents will go out to everyone on the electoral roll between September 16 and 21, with voting closing at noon on October 8. This year’s election will see online voting trialled by eight councils. Ashburton opted not to take part in this trial.

4500 square metres on Lot 17 at the business estate. The factory will be built by Timaru company Thompson Engineering and Construction, with project manager Jason Bray saying his team will be on site almost immediately the building consent was issued. The construction timeline allows five months for stage one to be completed and seven months for the entire project to be wrapped up. Construction will be a mix of tilt slab and profile metal cladding. Thompsons is no stranger to work in the business park, having been involved in the Rural Transport and Midlands Honey projects. The factory is being built for the

New Zealand Dairy Collaborative Group (NZDCG) for its major shareholder, China based Fineboon. When plans were unveiled, company managing director Solomon Ling said Ashburton had been chosen for the processing plant because it was well irrigated and was an abundant producer of the grain required to feed dairy goats. Until dairy goat herd numbers built up in the Ashburton District, NZDCG would source milk from an existing dairy goat co-operative in the North Island. Infant formula blended in Ashburton will be sold across China where Fineboon already has 3500 stores. The site in the business estate was sold by the Ashburton District Council for $1 million.

Bob Tizard dies Bob Tizard, a former Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Finance and deputy leader of the Labour Party, has died in Auckland, aged 91. Labour leader Andrew Little said Mr Tizard died yesterday afternoon. Mr Tizard became Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister in 1974 under Sir Wallace Rowling, who succeeded Norm Kirk after his sudden death. But that Government lost power to Sir Robert Muldoon’s National the following year in a campaign that featured the “Dancing Cossacks” ad attacking the compulsory superannuation scheme that Labour had begun that year. Labour did not hold power again until 1984. Mr Little passed on his condolences to Mr Tizard’s family. “Bob was one of a kind,” Mr Little said. “Bob was a delight, he was great company. He had a mind like a steel trap – you were never left wondering what he thought, about anything. “Michael Cullen once described him as being one of the

Bob Tizard most gifted people to have sat in Parliament, noting he was capable of making an ‘absolutely superlative speech’, without notes.” Mr Tizard was the former husband of Dame Catherine Tizard (a mayor of Auckland and Governor-General) and father of former Labour MP Judith Tizard. David Lange replaced Mr Tizard as deputy leader in 1979. – NZME

Defence personnel in town to learn By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Visiting soldiers, sailors and airmen have taken up residence at Ashburton Hospital. Students from the New Zealand Defence Force’s Health School are in town getting onthe-job training. Senior sergeant Fraser Durie said a number of students studying towards the Diploma in Paramedic Science or following on from their Graduate Diploma in Health Science (Paramedicine) qualification went on place-

ments to complete clinical shifts within the Canterbury District Health Board. In Ashburton, the students work with the Acute Assessment Unit (AAU) under the supervision of trained nurses and doctors. The experience gained by assessing and caring for personnel outside of the defence force was hugely beneficial, Senior Sergeant Durie said. “The skills they learn with dealing with local populations, including the elderly through to the very young, will become more

prominent when these students are deployed operationally, having to deal with displaced people, victims of natural disasters or civilian casualties of war,” he said. The amount of time students spend in different departments within the CDHB varies, with most rostered in the Christchurch Hospital emergency department, Children’s AAU, Coronary Care Unit, and the Ashburton AAU. In Ashburton the students are usually on deck for four shifts, but have the opportunity to con-

duct shifts with St John Ambulance also. Navy medic Nicole Temaipi is on placement at Ashburton Hospital and completed her first of four shifts yesterday. Studying towards a Diploma of Paramedic Science, the 23-yearold said she had been to Ashburton Hospital on placement once before and really enjoyed the hands-on experience. “Practical work is better than sitting in a classroom,” she said. “It is good to get out and get that exposure.”

From P1 The payout was last at this level in the 2005-06 season, but costs were considerably lower. Inflation alone has pushed costs up 3-4 per cent per year, equating to 30 to 40 per cent over the decade. “On top of that we have much higher compliance costs and wages have skyrocketed. Electricity has gone up dramatically. Other than lay off staff, farmers have already cut costs as far as possible – there’s nothing else they can do.” Banks have been supportive to date, in the expectation of a price recovery. “They will be starting to look at this (situation) more seriously now,” Mr Leferink said. Some local dairy businesses would not survive a second very tough season, he said. Dorie dairy farmer Neil Brown agreed. With 20-odd years in the industry he’s well accustomed to the volatility in the market, but he concedes the current situation is dire – and he wants Fonterra to front up to its shareholders with some answers. “Production costs have been trimmed as much as possible, we can only hunker down and grin and bear it now,” he said. “But we can put some pressure on Fonterra to cut their costs to see if any gains can be made – farmers have done all they can, now Fonterra has got to perform.” Fonterra’s farmgate payout is linked to its performance on the GlobalDairyTrade (GDT), however it only forms part of the cooperative’s business. Mr Brown accused Fonterra of maintaining a culture of secrecy and challenged its leaders to do better. “It’s part of the culture not to divulge information – we’ve only got one thing to measure performance against and that’s the payout – if there are other measures they need to be transparent.”

■ VOLUNTEERING

In brief

Mid Cantabrians a generous bunch By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Mid Cantabrians are a generous bunch when it comes to donating their time to the community, says Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew. The average rate of volunteering in New Zealand is around 60 per cent and Volunteering New Zealand says organisations are having less difficulty retaining volunteers. “They are generous with their money, with their time, with their abilities and skills and so it is often not about money but anyone who has got time or who sees a need,” she said. “[Mid Canterbury] is a very responsive district … it’s lovely to know when the chips are down the district responds.” Ashburton’s Red Cross shop manager Christine Hopwood agreed, and said the store had around 30 volunteers. “We don’t have too much trouble finding them either, if I just put a sign up every now and then and when a few finish up we seem to do alright,” she said. “We are very lucky.” Ashburton Salvation Army Major Ken Smith said the organisation has a steady stream of volunteers that came in each week. “I think we have a pretty good rapport with the community,” he said.

One person was taken to hospital following a crash at the intersection of Chalmers Avenue and Tancred Street on Wednesday morning. The crash, which involved two cars, occurred at about 10.45am. One person was transported to Ashburton Hospital by St John Ambulance, with minor injuries. The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade also attended the crash.

Major Smith said he believed volunteering was alive and well in the community because people felt a sense of achievement when they offered up their time or skills. “I think people find fulfilment in giving back, there’s the old proverb it’s better to give than

receive,” he said. And it was not only the older generation who were dedicating their time either, Major Smith said the Salvation Army had a wide range of volunteers from people in their 20s, 40s and 50s to retirees. Major Smith said it appeared

younger people were eager to jump on the volunteering bandwagon as they were interested in the community and wanted to do things that made a difference. “We wouldn’t survive without our volunteers, I value our volunteers.”

urch and Canterbury,” said Ian Henderson, St John communications adviser for the South Island region. “We strongly encourage people to keep an eye out for their friends and family, especially those who are ill, live alone or who are frail. “This is especially important as we head towards the fifth anniversary of the February 22, 2011 earthquake and earthquakes will be on people’s

However, it appears if there’s any damage it is only minor as the Fire Service has not been sent to any calls since the two earthquakes. A Southern Fire Communications spokesman said they felt it but had not received any calls for help. - NZME

Olivia Hope’s father, Gerald, has some questions for the man jailed for her killing, after reading a new book about the case. Watson is serving 19 years for killing the 17-year-old and Ben Smart after a 1997 New Year’s Eve party in the Marlborough Sounds. Elementary – The Explosive File on Scott Watson and the Disappearance of Ben and Olivia, written by journalist Ian Wishart, is due out today and purports to have found the mystery ketch in the case. Mr Hope said the book provided the most balanced account he’d seen about whether Watson was the murderer. He said Mr Wishart’s book opened his eyes to some of the evidence that wasn’t used in the trial. He said an apparent sighting of his daughter five days after she was supposed to have been killed was unconvincing. – NewstalkZB

A Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesman said the ministry was in contact with the family.

■ MID CANTERBURY DOCTORS

GPs not convinced by latest pill move By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Mid Canterbury GPs are still concerned over calls for the oral contraceptive pill to be available over the counter. New Zealand’s biggest pharmacy chain Green Cross Health is suggesting selected oral contraceptives be reclassified as restricted, rather than prescription medication. The pharmaceutical giant began campaigning for health officials to reconsider the need for a prescription for oral contracep-

tives in April of last year. At the time Dr Charlotte Cox and Dr Gayle O’Duffy both agreed the changes would need to be approached with caution. “The pill is not like taking lollies,” Dr Cox told the Guardian. However, even with the revised submission which suggests pharmacists could dispense birth control pills to women who had a prescription from a GP that had been issued within the past three years, local GPs are still not convinced. Mid Canterbury GP spokes-

man Dr Mick Tarry said the devil was in the detail and three years was a long time to go without a prescription. Ideally Dr Tarry said he would favour a doctor being permitted to write a prescription for a 12 month supply and have their female patients seeing them every 12 months if all was going okay. “There are other aspects to consider above ‘just a repeat prescription’ such as whether the combined oral contraceptive pill remained the best option for contraception,” he said.

“This would be cheaper for women and would remove the need for pharmacists to gain extra certification in order to represcribe the pill and would still give the opportunity for other issues to be considered.” Dr Tarry said there was also the risk of multiple different prescribers which poses its own issues. “There are increased risks of interactions involved when there are multiple different prescribers of medications for patients as they do not always have

access to information that is available.” Other issues included the opportunity to check for STIs such as chlamydia, discuss safe sex practices and alcohol and drug use as well as the risks of pregnancy associated with the use of other medications, what to do if a pill is missed and keeping upto-date with smears and HPV vaccinations. Currently the only oral contraceptive available over the counter without a prescription is the emergency morning-after pill.

Mid Canterbury will be full of vintage cars on Saturday for the Ashburton Vintage Car Club’s 47th annual rally. Club captain Neville Ross said he hoped the rain would ease off by Saturday as people were

coming from as far away as Oamaru and Culverden for the event. They usually got a crowd of about 50 people along with their vintage cars and expected the same this year, he said. There will be two routes participants can choose from, a

120km touring one and a short 97km course for slower vehicles. There will be some shingle on both routes. Anyone interested is welcome to come and view the vehicles at the clubrooms before the first car leaves at 10am. “We will be there from about

8.30am for the field tests.” Judging for vehicles entered in the concours competition will start at 9am. The rally will leave from the clubrooms at 86 Maronan Road, Tinwald, with vehicles returning by 4.30pm in time for prize giving and a meal.

Jail for man who ran down a police officer Napier man Robert “Robbie” James Richards has been sentenced to seven and a half years imprisonment for “deliberately and callously” driving into a police officer at a midnight checkpoint. At Napier District Court Judge Bridget Mackintosh yesterday handed down the sentence say-

ing it reflected the “aggravating features” of what Richards did. She also took into account the 30-year-old’s blemished history. The sentence was uplifted to a further six months for the charge of wilful damage. In December, after just two hours of deliberating a jury returned their guilty verdict for the

charge of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. Richards had already pleaded guilty to another charge of damaging a car. Constable Adam Blummont received concussion, a broken leg and facial cuts and scrapes when Richards accelerated and swerved to hit him.

Almost one year later he was still recovering and had not returned to work in its full capacity. Richards turned into Farndon Road off State Highway 2 on December 19, 2014 as the booze bus was set up north of the Clive Bridge. He wanted to avoid police because he had an unrelated warrant out for his arrest. - NZME

ECan is seeking Mid Cantabrians to fill four locally-based full-time positions established as part of a restructuring process seeing staff based within water management zones. Two resource management officers, one land management officer and one biodiversity officer will be based at the ECan depot in Ashburton, but there will also be the option to work from home. ECan’s Ashburton zone manager Donna Lill, who lives in Methven, is keen to see people living within the district give consideration to the positions, as ECan aims to improve its staff retention rates for the roles. The positions were existing positions at ECan, but had now been restructured into one team for the Ashburton zone. The positions would be advertised next month, however, Mrs Lill told Ashburton Water Management Zone Committee members this week that she wanted people to start thinking about applying. Applicants would not necessarily need formal qualifications such as a resource management degree. Experience could be just as useful, as it could result in attributes such as an understanding of farming systems. Mrs Lill suggested there could be farmers’ wives, or farmers who were not as active on their properties after, say, injuring their backs, who wanted to contribute to the community, who could be suitable for the roles. While the roles were full-time, ECan could also give consideration to those only able to work part-time. The move to establish the team had followed similar teams being established in other water management zones in Canterbury. The purpose of the restructuring was for ECan to better deliver on outcomes sought under the Canterbury Water Management Strategy.

In brief

Fire restrictions lifted By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Fire restrictions have been lifted in the Ashburton District, but the district’s principal rural fire officer says anyone lighting a fire still needs to take care. An open fire season has been declared, effective from midnight on Wednesday night, following days of rain – including almost half of January’s average yearly rainfall in the space of a couple of days. Ashburton’s principal rural fire officer Don Geddes said that in the 24 hours from 9.30am on Wednesday, Ashburton received 26.4mm of rain. Ashburton’s annual average rainfall for January is 58.5mm. Rain has been steady across

the district, although some areas have received more than others. In the same 24-hour period that Ashburton received 26.4mm, Mt Somers received 47mm. In the Ashburton Gorge, rainfall ranged from just 16mm in some places, to more than 50mm in others. “It’s going to slowly ease through to the weekend and gradually get better through Sunday and Monday, and maybe a bit more on Tuesday and Wednesday next week,” Mr Geddes said. “Max temperatures from now through until at least Sunday are not much above 17 degrees, and Monday will crank up to 24 or 25 degrees.” The rain has been more than enough to ensure the country-

side remains green, and lift all areas above the line where fire restrictions are required. But Mr Geddes said people shouldn’t become complacent, with the hottest month of the year – February – still to come. “It’s early enough in the summer, we have still got all the stubble burning to come yet,” he said. Fire restrictions were introduced in the days leading up to Christmas, and it’s possible they could be enforced again if Mid Canterbury’s typical hot, windy summer returns. “The message is simple, even though we have gone back to open and it’s green, people still need to be careful about lighting fires,” Mr Geddes said.

“We have decided the risk is low enough that we can ease off on our controls, but there is still an expectation that people go about these things safely.” Any fires needed to be carefully monitored, and put out properly, including burying them if required. “These are the things that cause problems in the week or two, or even months, down the track when we get some hot weather or strong winds.” Fires have been known to reignite on hot windy days, even up to six months after initially being lit. The Department of Conservation still has a restricted fire season in place in the Mid Canterbury high country.

Firefighters Aus bound Kiwi firefighters will be lending a hand to combat blazes in Tasmania. Forty-three firefighters will fly out from Auckland and Christchurch this afternoon to begin a threeweek deployment. Nearly 80 fires are burning throughout Tasmania, most started by lightning strikes and fuelled by drought conditions and strong winds. National Rural Fire Officer Kevin O’Connor said crews would initially concentrate on containing fires in World Heritage sites in the west and southwest of the island where the fire risk was extreme. - NZME

Expanding congregation sparks build By suE nEwman

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

In just seven years, Ashburton’s Latter-day Saints congregation has grown from just 30 people to gatherings that regularly top 170. And that rapid growth has prompted the church to undertake the biggest project in its history in Ashburton, building a massive new church, cultural centre and classroom block on land on Racecourse Road. It’s a building that is designed for the future, Canterbury Stake President Jared Ormsby said and one that will be able to accommodate a congregation of more than 200 people. The growth of the church’s Ashburton congregation had been helped by the big wave of new immigrants into the district for work and lifestyle, Mr Ormsby said. “We’ve seen some wonderful people come into our church, many from around New Zea-

One of New Zealand’s biggest unsolved murder mysteries is being resumed after nearly 40 years. Waitemata Police have revealed they are working on fresh leads in the murder of Tracey Ann Patient, who was strangled and her body found dumped in the Waitakere Ranges on January 30, 1976. A team of detectives have been working fulltime on the cold case since November and following fresh lines of inquiry. Today marks 40 years to the day since 13-year-old Tracey Ann Patient disappeared while walking home from a friend’s house.

They’ve come for job opportunities with the meatworks and with other businesses.” As the congregation numbers grew, Ashburton was granted its own Bishop, Uliki Pongia who lives and works in the district. While growth was a great thing for a church community it also required some serious planning to ensure the needs of every person within the congregation were met, Mr Ormsby said and in Ashburton that could soon mean creating two congregations that worshipped at different times. The largest concentration of church members is in the Rakaia area, around 40. Opting to build a new church was a decision that wasn’t made lightly, Mr Ormsby said. “Our old building has been great but we’ve been forced to take down interior walls down-

The government has officially terminated its agreement with one of the country’s first charter schools. Education Minister Hekia Parata said she informed the Te Pumanawa o te Wairua Trust of her decision on Tuesday. “Significant progress has been made in addressing the governance and management issues that caused me to issue the trust with a performance notice in February,” she said. “However, after considering the trust’s response to my proposal to terminate the agreement, I have concluded that the educational challenges facing the school are too great to be overcome.” - NZME

Success for adventure programme Woman

applies for cannabis

BY RUBY HARFIELD

RUBY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A scouting-style holiday programme in Ashburton looks set to continue after a successful first week. Thirteen people attended the inaugural Adventure Plus holiday programme, based at Mania-o-Roto Park, last week. Organiser Philip Crozier said they hoped to make it a yearly event and would also try to run shorter courses in other school holidays. It is open to all children aged 10-13 and is taught by a group of experienced scouting leaders. The group enjoyed a range of activities including boating, cycling, sailing, camping, river crossing and making model planes. The first two days it rained so they were limited in what outdoor activities they could do, but it had cleared in time for their planned day at Lake Hood. The programme was open to scouting and non-scouting children, but there were only three that were not scouts. Next year they plan to run the same course, but they might have to make it shorter because of the scout jamboree, he said.

Former union boss Helen Kelly has written to Associate Health Minister Peter Dunne to seek permission to use medicinal cannabis. Ms Kelly, who has lung cancer, said she hoped her application would be granted as soon as possible. She is already using cannabis oil to ease her pain and said the drug had been “brilliant” for helping with nausea, lost appetite and pain relief following chemotherapy. She now wants a legal, regular supply of the drug. “I want it in a form that is metered,” she said. “The product that I’ve applied for has got a much weaker strength in the daytime and a stronger strength at night. “I don’t want to be stoned in the day. And if I take morphine or cannabis during the day, it stops you doing what you want to do.” Patients can apply to the Ministry of Health to get access to one form of medical cannabis, Sativex. – NZME

OUR VIEW

Dairying, from golden egg to nightmare Sue Newman

ACTING EDITOR

alling dairy prices have become almost the norm. But this one’s different. We may have become accustomed to, and almost expected, to hear that the fortnightly global dairy auction has yielded bleak news again, but when dairy companies start revising their projected payout for the season in falling numbers, it’s clear the situation is grim. Two years ago farmers were looking at an $8.65 payout, today they’re talking $4.15. Effectively incomes have more than halved at the same time as costs have possibly doubled. Do the maths and the result is heartbreaking. The drop may not be unexpected, but until the words are spoken there’s always hope. Fonterra have cut their forecast and they’re not alone. This will be the third season in a row where prices have dropped each time. When the first fall occurred, the industry commentators said it was sustainable – for one season. A second low price year would have farmers starting to struggle. No-one anticipated a third year of yet lower prices. Now the experts are saying a recovery is unlikely until at least next year, suggesting possibly a fourth low-price year. All of that adds up to a scenario where some pretty tough decisions will have to be made by farmers. Do they stay or do they go? Do they pull the pin now and walk away with what little they have in equity, or do they hold out in anticipation of things getting better? If you’re a townie you might wonder what the fuss is about, you might even say that dairy farmers have had it pretty good for a long time. But to get some idea of how it might feel to be staring down the barrel of a falling income, take a town wage from two years ago, halve it, double your living costs and think about how you’d manage. This crisis in the dairy industry is not just a rural problem, it’s a district-wide problem. If dairy farmers shut their cheque books – and they’ll be well and truly locked up now – then the flow-on effect will be felt by every business, every person in this district. This is serious.

YOUR VIEW Shocking statistic The Ashburton Guardian of January 19 reported that 62 individuals own as much wealth as the poorest 50 per cent of the world’s population. Sixty-two extremely wealthy people have as much capital at their disposal as the 3,600,000,000 poorest individuals combined. Oxfam says that appalling equation is worse today than it was only last year when 80 people owned as much as the poorest half of the world’s people. The number was still shocking in 2010 when 388 people owned as much as half of the others living on the planet they share. The current trickle down economic system favours the accumulation of wealth in the hands of already rich individuals. The wealth of the 62 wealthiest individuals has increased by $542,000,000 in five years. We must begin to make changes towards creating a fairer society to reduce the gulf that continues to grow between the rich from the poor. Jonathan Everist

Today’s online poll question Q: Do you volunteer your time to a local community organisation?

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

ucks, bread, roads, smoking and murder. It sounds like a Mills and Boon book, but no it’s just another Hooper column. The ducks are back! The big news of the week for us at Hokonui is the return of the Duck Race, again at Robbie’s Bar and Bistro. The date has been set for the annual event, February 26. For those who are new to town or living in a cave, 100 really generous local businesses sponsor a duck each. That money goes to the prize pool and means we have some amazing prizes each year. Last year we gave away several TVs, entertainment centres, travel vouchers, steam mops, juicers and more. Thirty prizes were dished out in total. This year we will be having a separate duckling race for the kids as well. Keep an ear out on the radio and on my Hoops On Air Facebook page for your chance to win a duck. It’s a great night out for all the family.

Oprah

I don’t know how she does it! Eat bread and lose weight I mean, not the making $12 million from a simple tweet part. Oprah has eaten bread. Lost weight. Earned $12 million. That woman is a money-making machine! Winfrey has managed to rake in over $12 million just by tweeting about eating bread while on a diet. She has elaborated in an associated video that she’s managed to lose a massive 26lbs (11.7kgs) since adding bread to her Weight Watchers diet, a company of which she owns 10 per cent of all shares. After that announcement, Market Watch has reported that shares for Weight Watchers International have gone up 20 per cent … a big boost to Oprah’s holdings. Man I wish I could do that! I’d really like the money as well.

Two lanes

editor@theguardian. co.nz

I’ve been to Christchurch a couple of times this week and every time I drive up that road I think to myself, how many passing lanes do they have to put in before someone who earns way more money than I decides we should make this a four-lane carriageway? I’ve mentioned this to people in the past and each time I get told the American soldiers during World War Two offered to build more lanes for the entire State Highway 1, but it was deemed unnecessary by our government at the time. I’m not sure this is entirely correct but isn’t it about time? Surely it would make the drive a whole lot safer?

Crime solving Another idea/thought (yes I do have the odd one) I had this week comes on the back of the Ben Smart and Olivia Hope murders hitting the headlines again. Why doesn’t every person in this country take a strand of their hair into the local police station so that our DNA can go on file. Apart from some “planting of evidence” wouldn’t this make solving crimes a whole lot easier and cheaper? Maybe it’s getting a bit too “big brother”, but I certainly wouldn’t mind and I’m guessing most law-abiding Kiwis wouldn’t mind either.

Activists urged to leave Authorities yesterday urged a handful of remaining activists to abandon the Oregon wildlife refuge they have occupied for more than three weeks, a day after the leaders of an armed anti-government group were arrested and one man was killed. Details began to emerge about the confrontation that occurred on a remote highway between the small towns of Burns and John Day. Followers of Ammon Bundy gave conflicting accounts of how one of the men in the two-vehicle convoy was killed during a traffic stop. One of Bundy’s followers said Robert Finicum charged at FBI agents, who then shot him. A member of the Bundy family said Finicum did nothing to provoke the agents. There was no immediate way to confirm either account. Authorities refused to release any details about the encounter or even to verify that it was Finicum who was killed. It was unclear if Finicum or the others were armed, or if they exchanged gunfire with officers. With group leaders in jail, federal agents surrounded the refuge where the remnants of Bundy’s group refused to give up on the occupation that began January 2. Although roadblocks were in place around the nature preserve, FBI agent Greg Bretzing told reporters that the people could leave through checkpoints “where they will be identified”. He did not say whether any of them face arrest. He said negotiators were available to talk if they have “questions or concerns”.

New All Saints album All Saints have announced their first album in 10 years, starting with the release of a song inspired by bandmate Nicole Appleton’s divorce from Oasis star Liam Gallagher. Nineteen years after their debut single, the quartet – consisting of Nicole and sister Natalie Appleton, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis – will launch One Strike on February 26, followed by album Red Flag in April. Kicking off their comeback is a melancholic track addressing Nicole’s headline-grabbing split in 2014, when it emerged her husband Gallagher had fathered a child with American journalist Liza Ghorbani. All Saints were one of most popular bands of the Nineties, rivalling Spice Girls for adoration and number ones.

Law enforcement personnel block an access road to the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, near Burns, Oregon. Inset - Robert Finicum. PHOTO AP A confrontation on a remote road north of Burns resulted in the arrest of Ammon Bundy and four others. Two other occupiers were arrested in Burns and another in Arizona. Details were sketchy about what happened when FBI agents and Oregon state troopers stopped Bundy and others in his group as they travelled to a planned meeting with nearby residents. Bundy followers took to social media to offer conflicting accounts of Finicum’s final moments. In a video posted to Facebook, Mike McConnell said he

was driving the vehicle carrying Ammon Bundy and another occupier, Brian Cavalier. He said Finicum was driving a truck and with him were Ryan Bundy — Ammon’s brother — as well as three others. He said the convoy was driving through a forest when they were stopped by agents in heavy-duty trucks. He said agents first pulled him out of the vehicle, followed by Ammon Bundy and Cavalier. When agents approached the truck driven by Filicum, he drove off with officers in pursuit. McConnell said he did not see what happened next,

but heard from others who were in that vehicle that they encountered a roadblock. The truck got stuck in a snowbank, and Finicum got out and “charged them. He went after them,” McConnell said. Relatives of Ammon Bundy offered similar accounts, but they claimed Finicum did nothing to provoke FBI agents. The Bundys are the sons of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who was involved in a highprofile 2014 stand-off with the government over grazing rights. - AP

‘Winning’ ticket doesn’t wash It could have been her. But it’s not. A German woman who claimed she had won a £33 million lottery jackpot, but by accident put the ticket through the wash, is understood to have been ruled out from the prize. Susanne Hinte, a 48-year-old grandmother, has submitted her crumpled and torn lottery ticket to Camelot for verification. But it is understood that Camelot, which runs the National Lottery, has already ruled her out as the mystery winner. A Camelot spokesman said “fewer than five” people in the organisation’s security team knew where and at what time the winning ticket - with the numbers 26, 27, 46, 47, 52 and 58 - was bought.

Holocaust victims honoured 71 years on Dozens of elderly Holocaust survivors lit candles at Auschwitz yesterday, exactly 71 years after the Soviet army liberated the death camp that has become the most powerful symbol of the human suffering inflicted by Nazi Germany during World War Two. The commemoration at the former death camp in southern Poland, an area under Nazi occupation during the war, is part of the UN-designated International Remembrance Day, marked by politicians, survivors and others in ceremonies and events across the world. At Auschwitz some of the survivors wore sashes or scarves that recalled the striped pyjama-style clothing that prisoners were forced to wear. They placed candles and wreaths at a wall where many prisoners were executed before gathering with the presidents of Poland and Croatia

Holocaust survivors walk with others through the main gate of the former Auschwitz Nazi death camp in Oswiecim, Poland, yesterday. PHOTO AP for official ceremonies. The Nazis killed more than 1 million people at Auschwitz, most of them Jews but also Roma, non-Jewish Poles and others. This year’s commemorations come as a resurgence of anti-Semitism casts a shadow

over a new generation of European Jews, something that is driving thousands of them each year to leave the continent. “We must be honest enough to admit that more than 70 years after the Shoah, antiSemitism is still alive in our

‘civilised’ European Union,” Federica Mogherini, the European Union’s top foreign affairs representative, said in a statement. Jewish immigration to Israel from Western Europe grew last year due to a rise in antiSemitic attacks. Most — nearly 8000 — were from France, where Islamic extremist attacks have destroyed the sense of security previously felt by Europe’s largest Jewish population. In Germany, where hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees have arrived in the past year, Jews feel threatened from both the far right and people coming from countries like Syria. A rise in anti-Muslim hostility amid the migrant crisis is — irrationally — also fuelling anti-Semitism as a growing number of people lash out in fear at anyone they perceive as different. - AP

Abe Vigoda dies, age 94 Abe Vigoda, an American actor best known for roles in The Godfather and the 1970s sitcom Barney Miller, has died at the age of 94, after spending three decades jokingly refuting rumours of his demise. Vigoda’s daughter, Carol Vigoda Fuchs, said her father died at her home in New Jersey on Tuesday. “He died in his sleep, of natural causes. He was not sick,” she said. Vigoda was known for his role in The Godfather in 1972, playing mobster traitor Salvatore Tessio in his first credited movie role. His character was doomed for betraying the Corleone family in the film but had a cameo role in the flashback scenes of The Godfather Part II two years later. His most famous role was as the grumpy and deadpan Detective Sergeant Phil Fish in the Barney Miller police comedy series. He picked up three supporting-actor Emmy nominations for the part.

Labour split over opposition to TPP

Zealand houses, such as imposing stamp duties. Mr Joyce said that Napier MP Stuart Nash and West Coast MP Damien O’Connor would be “squirming a bit” at the prospect of having to line up against their regions’ interests. “In regional New Zealand there is an understanding that amongst the farming and business communities trade deals like the TPP and Korean FTA are very, very

important for regional New Zealand,” Mr Joyce said. He said also said the split reflected on Mr Little’s leadership. “Their big success of last year was apparently unifying the caucus and that was signalled as Andrew Little’s signature success. “What is apparent just one week into the new year is that the unification was more talk and spin than any form of burying their differences.

“What every other leader of a major political party knows is that trade is hugely important to New Zealand and what they are showing here is that they are just not ready to get ready for Government if they are not prepared to make tougher decisions that would be about supporting New Zealand’s interests.” Mr O’Connor did not join the mavericks, however. “Andrew is making the party position known,” he said. “We’ve always been supportive of free trade but obviously we have concerns about this particular agreement. He said he did not trust former Trade Minister or Prime Minister John Key “to do the best deal for New Zealand.” Mr Nash, too, is sticking to the party line: “I stand by the leader’s and the caucus’ decision on this.” Mr Goff was Trade Minister when the last Labour Government negotiated the China FTA and he was instrumental in 2008 in getting the United States to agree to launch TPP talks.

financial markets so far this year. The Fed noted that it was “closely monitoring global economic and financial developments” but said little more than that. The next Fed meeting is scheduled for mid-March, and the market will likely get a clearer picture of the Fed’s intentions at this point. Futures currently imply just a 19 per cent chance of an interest rate hike at the March meeting, well down on the 51per cent odds from the beginning of the year. Fonterra has reduced its forecast farmgate milk price for the 2015/16 season to $4.15, down from $4.60 previously. When combined with the likely dividend farmers will receive from the co-operative, this equates to an estimated total cash payout of $4.50-$4.55. This is down slightly on the previous two years, and would make for the lowest payout since the 2005/06 season. Fonterra noted the key reasons for the reduced forecast were declining international oil prices (which weaken the spending power ofoil-producing countries), economic concerns in emerging economies and a slow recovery of dairy imports into China. Fonterra also cited the Russian ban on European imports, which

Despite delivering a strong result, a weaker than expected outlook for sales of the iPhone, saw shares in Apple fall by more than 5 per cent. Johnson & Johnson, the world’s largest healthcare company, saw earnings come in ahead of expectations due to an improvement in operating margins. The company’s outlook statement was also strong, with the company expecting further benefits from cost cutting initiatives and strong performance from key pharmaceutical products. This saw shares in the company rise 5 per cent. 3M shares also rose 5 per cent after the company reported strong earnings numbers on the back of lower raw material prices and cost reduction initiatives.

The RBNZ left the Official Cash Rate (OCR) unchanged after its first meeting of the year, but there was a decidedly cautious tone to the commentary. This has seen speculation over further potential interest rate cuts increase. The RBNZ effectively suggested that it might reduce the OCR further over the coming year, primarily on the back of much weaker inflation figures than previously forecast. December’s inflation number was the lowest annual rate in 16 years. Ultimately, any change in interest rates will likely be driven by economic data and developments, although at this point the market is anticipating a reasonable chance of another OCR cut over the coming months. The US Federal Reserve also held its first meeting of the year, and chose to leave interest rates unchanged, as expected. The Fed increased interest rates in December for the first time in nearly a decade but gave little indication about the likely course of further rate hikes. This disappointed the market, which seemed to expect a softening in stance given the turmoil in

Clark said last year it would be “unthinkable” for New Zealand not to be part of the TPP. Mr Goff said that every time a country signed an international agreement, it gave away a degree of sovereignty. “We gave up the sovereign right to impose tariffs against China when we signed up to the China free trade agreement. But it came with quid pro quos. China gave up its right to impose huge tariffs on us. “That’s what an international agreement is; it’s an agreement to follow a particular course of action and a limitation on your ability to take action against the other country. “You have the ultimate right of sovereignty that you can back out of an agreement _ with all the cost that that incurs.” The TPP obliges member Governments to treat investors from member countries as though they were domestic unless exceptions are written into the agreement. Labour wanted an exception written in for investors in residential housing. - NZME

National has seized on the split in Labour’s ranks over the TransPacific Partnership, claiming the party’s opposition of TPP showed that Labour was not ready for Government. Economic Development Minister Steven Joyce also said the camp in support of the TPP was bigger than just former Labour leaders Phil Goff and David Shearer and that regional MPs would also support it. He was commenting on a Herald story revealing that Mr Goff and Mr Shearer had broken ranks with the party’s decision this week to oppose the TPP. Both said they supported it. Mr Goff dismissed the argument that the deal undermined New Zealand’s sovereignty. He said every single international agreement New Zealand signed reduced New Zealand’s sovereignty in some way, as had been the case when Labour signed a free trade agreement with China. He also said there were still ways for a future Labour government to prevent overseas-based investors from buying up New

Junior footballers have Japanese goal By James Ford

A Mid Canterbury 12th grade football team will head to the land of the rising sun in August to pit their skills against Japanese teams in the town of Hosoe. The Friendship Games Tournament was last held in 2013 in Ashburton, before a two-year

Wildcats on verge of record The Perth Wildcats are on the verge of achieving worldwide sporting immortality - but cementing top spot on the NBL ladder remains their No.1 focus ahead of tonight’s blockbuster against Melbourne United. The Wildcats need just one more win to guarantee a 30th straight playoff appearance. The feat would break the record in professional sport, eclipsing the previous best of 29 set by the Boston Bruins in the National Hockey League from 1968-96. Trevor Gleeson admitted he felt the pressure of continuing Perth’s successful streak when he was appointed coach in 2013. But it’s a glaring spotlight Gleeson has learned to embrace, and he says it’s an achievement the club thoroughly deserve. “It’s remarkable,” Gleeson said. “We had Mike Ellis in for the heritage round, and he said he was the last captain not to make a playoffs. “I don’t want to be the coach who doesn’t make the playoffs.” - AAP

layoff due to scheduling issues, but plans are now in place for a return competition in Mid Canterbury next year. Following a trial, 11 players were selected from more than 30 for the 8-a-side team, and fundraising is now under way. The team is pulling out all the stops, from selling croissants and

sunscreen to sausage sizzles to reach their $60,000 goal. The local players will be billeted with Japanese families throughout the tournament, which coach Neil Simons believes will offer a unique experience. “I think not only the football experience, but also the cultural experience, will open their eyes,”

he said. “I think that’s an equal component of the whole trip, because they’re billeted out they will experience more of the traditional Japanese lifestyle.” Simons is also hoping to organise matches in Singapore while en route to Japan. The team will leave on August 1.

Pearce awaits NRL fate Adam Reynolds, Josh Reynolds, James Maloney and Blake Austin will be waiting in the wings should Mitchell Pearce be sacked from the NSW side for off-field incidents for the second time in three years. Pearce has a dagger dangling above his head after the emergence of a video in which he simulates a sexual act with a dog at a boozy Australia Day party. Pearce has been stood down by the Sydney Roosters with his club weighing up whether to sack, suspend or fine their cocaptain. The 26-year-old’s chances of retaining his NSW halves jumper appear slim after yet another off-field misdemeanour. In 2014, Pearce was sacked by Blues coach Laurie Daley after he was arrested for failing to leave a Kings Cross nightclub. He was also fined $20,000 and suspended for one game by his club. Daley came down hard on Pearce and drew a line in the sand after excluding Blake Ferguson and James Tamou from a training camp for off-field incidents that year. Should Pearce receive a

Mitchell Pearce lengthy ban, that would almost certainly rule him out of Daley’s calculations, with the team set to be named after round 11 in mid-May. “NSWRL is aware that the Sydney Roosters and the NRL are investigating an incident involving Mitchell Pearce and in the outcome of those investigations it will be inappropriate for the NSWRL to make a comment on the incident,” a NSWRL spokesperson told AAP.

South Sydney halfback Adam Reynolds, Canterbury’s Josh Reynolds and Canberra No.6 Austin are the most likely candidates should Daley need a new half while Penrith’s Matt Moylan and Manly recruit Dylan Walker are the smokeys. The Rabbitohs No.7 was tipped to challenge for a Blues jumper last year before being sidelined with a knee injury suffered in the ‘Bad Friday’ clash against Canterbury. Bulldogs five-eighth Reynolds, who lost his Blues jumper to Pearce last season, steered the Blues in 2014 with Trent Hodkinson to their first win in eight years to break Queensland’s Origin dominance. He could be a fallback option. Austin has rocketed into Origin contention after thriving in the Raiders No.6 jersey last year after defecting from the Wests Tigers. After a standout performance in City-Country with three tries and two try-saving tackles, he proved himself one of the most attacking weapons in the NRL. He finished the season with 14 tries (ranked 13th in the NRL). - AAP

A spray from superstar Phil Mickleson has thrown a shadow over the professional debut of Australian teen golf star Ryan Ruffels. Seventeen-year-old Ruffels was desperate to make a good start in pro ranks among elite company at this week’s US PGA Tour event at Torrey Pines. But his focus faced a severe test after five-time major winner Mickelson accused him of “high school stuff” over a recent interview in which he spoke of a money match he played against the American veteran. Ruffels, who earlier in his career was being recruited by Mickelson and his brother Tim to play college golf at Arizona State University, played a round with the pair at Torrey Pines in December after he’d decided to instead turn pro. “We get on the first tee, it’s pretty early in the morning and he says, ‘I don’t wake up this early to play for any less than $2500’,” the teenager recounted to the Sydney Morning Herald. Mickelson then reportedly offered 2-1 odds and Ruffels said: “I was a few down through nine but then I birdied six of my last seven to win by one shot and took his money, so that was pretty cool.” On the eve of the Farmers Insurance Open on Wednesday, Mickelson took aim at Ruffels, accusing him of being indiscreet and allegedly embellishing the amount won, despite not being directly asked about the matter by reporters who raised the Australian’s name. “He’s a very nice person. I met him a month ago, and we played for the first time. He’s young, and he’s got some things to learn.”

Quintana’s tour focus Nairo Quintana says his focus this season is winning the Tour de France, while Movistar teammate Alejandro Valverde will compete in the Giro d’Italia for the first time. Quintana will “concentrate on the Tour”, in which he has twice been runner-up, before riding at the Olympics and the Spanish Vuelta. Valverde’s first Grand Tour of the season will be the Giro, followed by the Tour and the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. The 35-yearold Valverde says “at this moment in my career either I do the Giro or later it will be too difficult.” Movistar’s 2016 team includes signings Dani Moreno of Spain, Colombian Carlos Betancur, and Portuguese rider Nelson Oliveira. Quintana says he hopes Moreno, a specialist in Grand Tours, will “help us a lot.” - AP

In brief

Seniors on rosebowl mission By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The opening round of the Muirhead Rosebowl will see Lauriston host Coldstream and Methven entertain Allenton, while Pritchard Shield winners Tech have the bye. Lauriston will hope for a reverse result after falling to a sixwicket defeat last weekend to Coldstream in the last round of the Pritchard Shield. Lauriston won the toss and elected to bat, which proved a poor decision after posting a meagre 56 all out as Jay Houston took five for 19 off 7.1 overs in an exceptional individual display. Coldstream then chased down Lauriston’s paltry total in the 12th over with a loss of four wickets. Methven return to the fray tomorrow following a bye in last weekend’s final Pritchard Shield clashes. They will have their work cut out against an in-form Allenton team, who put newly crowned shield champions Tech to the sword in a 201 run win in their last outing.

Italy will host France in a friendly at Under-21 level on June 2 in honour of Valeria Solesin, who died in the Paris attacks. Solesin, who had been living in Paris for six years and studied at the Sorbonne, was among those killed inside the Bataclan Theatre in Paris. She was 28. The general director of the Italian football federation, Michele Uva, says “It will be a day dedicated to the memory of Valeria Solesin. We asked France to play this match, in memory of the night of the attacks in Paris.” Solesin was one of 130 people killed in Paris on November 13. A further 350 people were wounded. - AP

Mid Canty look to finish on winning note By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury skipper Bevan Ravenscroft will miss tomorrow’s Hawke Cup tie against Otago Country.

Mid Canterbury will be Alexandra-bound without their captain Bevan Ravenscroft for the last of their 2015-16 Hawke Cup fixtures tomorrow. The 29-year-old injured a tendon in his foot, retiring hurt against North Otago, and is expected to be out of action for four weeks. Mid Canterbury’s hopes of a Hawke Cup challenge were dashed in an innings and 62 run loss to North Otago at the Ashburton Oval last weekend. North Otago batted first and posted 323 before Mid Canterbury were dismissed for a paltry 71 and sent in to bat again. In their second innings, Mid Canterbury recorded 190 all out, but it wasn’t enough against a superior North Otago side. Tomorrow’s opponents have also had a Southern Zone campaign to forget.

Otago Country fell to an outright loss to North Otago in game one before two washouts against Southland and South Canterbury. Country will field four debutants tomorrow while skipper Fraser Wilson is 12th man. Wilson said the dead rubber match will provide a good opportunity for younger players to experience Hawke Cup cricket. Otago Country v Mid Canterbury, Molneux Park, Alexandra, 12.30pm. Mid Canterbury: James Southby, Will Southby, Callum Gallagher, Des Kruger, Matt Tait, Matt Kruger, Ryan Cockburn, Hayden Sinclair, Harry Jones, Dion Biggs, Scott Punselie. Otago Country: Henry Burns, Sam Pringle (D), Tim McCormick, Barry White, Cam Fawkner, Mark Knox, Drew van Boxtel (D), Willie Miller (D), Rueben Pyle (D), Tom Myles, Sanchit Sandhu, Fraser Wilson 12th. (D) Denotes debut player.

Smith unimpressed with Kohli’s send-off Australian captain Steve Smith has fired back at Virat Kohli, suggesting the Indian superstar’s animated send-off at Adelaide Oval was just not cricket. Kohli plucked a catch to dismiss for Smith for 21 in what proved a turning point in the Australia Day Twenty20 clash, which Australia lost by 37 runs. He celebrated the wicket wildly, gesturing in a fashion that seemingly told Smith he should have focused on batting instead

Tribute game

of talking. Smith was mic’d up and had been conducting a live interview with Nine Network commentators during the over. “I don’t think you need to do that kind of thing when someone gets out,” Smith told Fox Sports. “It’s fine to have a little bit of banter when you’re out in the field, but when someone’s out I don’t really think that’s on. “He gets pretty emotional out there, doesn’t he?”

Kohli was involved in a handful of heated spats with Australia during India’s Test tour in 201415, while he and James Faulkner have often swapped barbs on the field this month. Smith won’t have a chance to renew the rivalry until the Twenty20 World Cup in March, with the skipper and vice-captain David Warner sitting out the remaining two T20 clashes. Meanwhile, the 26-year-old dismissed the notion his on-

pitch interview with Nine had anything to do with the dismissal. “It was on at the time but for me it was just a bad shot,” Smith said. “I tried to chip one over the top for two rather than trying to hit him for four or six. “It was my fault and I’ve just got to be better next time.” Australia face India at the MCG today then the SCG on Sunday. - AAP

Abrasive opening batsman David Warner has been awarded the Allan Border Medal as Australia’s cricket player of the year. Warner tallied 240 votes to win the award for the first time from last year’s winner, captain Steve Smith, who received 219 votes, and fast bowler Mitchell Starc with 183. He was also named test player of the year while Glenn Maxwell was one-day international player of the year. Warner was called “despicable” by Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland in 2013 when he punched England batsman Joe Root in a Birmingham bar. He credited his wife, Candace, with turning his career around. Warner said “she really nailed into my head ... about being disciplined. I owe a lot of credit to her for keeping me on the straight and narrow.” - AP

Milne’s Essex deal Adam Milne has signed a contract to play for Essex this English county season, further reinforcing how much other countries value the skills of New Zealand’s current cricketing crop. He will join Jesse Ryder and Auckland pace bowler Matt Quinn, who holds a British passport, at the county.

He delivers at speeds upwards of 150km/h in his pomp.

Kickboxer arrested A Kiwi kickboxer has reportedly been arrested in Colombia and is due to face drug trafficking charges in Argentina. The Columbia Reports website said Peter Leaitua was arrested at the international airport of Medellin, Colombia’s second largest city. According to Argentine authorities, the amateur kickboxer “used his reputation as a kickbox fighter to take advantage of his contacts and influences in illegal activities”. It was alleged the sportsman was in Colombia to “co-ordinate new ways of trafficking cocaine”. - AP

Poms not favourites: Jones

Suspect matches at NZ events

The new leaders of the bookmakers’ favourite team to win the Six Nations were keen to downplay their qualities. Eddie Jones said he was enjoying his honeymoon period as England coach, still waiting for the first big blow-up in the squad, while captain Dylan Hartley, their most experienced player by far, admitted he was “not the finished article, I need help.” The kind of help Hartley was referring to at the tournament media launch on Wednesday was in regard to skills, though it could also have been about his poor disciplinary record. More than a year’s worth of suspensions caused his suitability to be the skipper to still be questioned two days after his appointment, and prompted answers from the straight-backed hooker as prickly as his haircut. Hartley’s appointment on Monday prompted a rush of betting at William Hill on England as the favourite for the title and a Grand Slam, which didn’t put off Jones calling their first opponent, Scotland, “the form team of Europe,” presumably because the Scots reached the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals and England didn’t. Jones admitted he was still finding out what makes each of his players tick, but was sure enough to pick three uncapped players who could receive testing debuts on February 6 at Murrayfield in front of “65,000 crazy Scots”. Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw hopes that crowd plays its part because “we want to make Murrayfield not a nice place for teams to come and play us”. The Scots haven’t beaten Eng-

land for eight years, but they are riding a wave of confidence after making the World Cup quarters, which ended in controversial fashion. A year after being whitewashed in the Six Nations, the Scots have stated they are aiming for the title they haven’t won this century, and can’t afford to get caught up in the usual anti-English jingoism that comes with Calcutta Cup games. “We can’t go into it with clouded minds, we need clear minds to win this game,” Laidlaw said. Defending two-time champion Ireland announced a clear mind for star flyhalf Jonathan Sexton, who passed concussion protocols and trained on Tuesday after

suffering another head injury in the Champions Cup last weekend. He will be available for Ireland’s Six Nations opener against Wales on February 7 at Lansdowne Road, coach Joe Schmidt said. Schmidt admitted he was concerned about Sexton’s long-term health, but trusted the medical advice on Sexton, who was stood down for 12 weeks a year ago after four concussions in quick succession, and took another head knock against France at the World Cup. “All we can do is go on the best medical opinion,” Schmidt said. “If there are people who question that, it’s a disappointment and a reality.”

Schmidt was impressed by how Wales “picked themselves off the ground” to beat England at Twickenham in the Rugby World Cup last September, and doesn’t expect anything less than a fight to the finish next week. There’s pessimism in Ireland about its chances of a hat trick of Six Nations titles after all three provincial teams - all former European club champions - failed to reach the Champions Cup quarterfinals. “Have you seen our record?” Wales coach Warren Gatland asked. Neither of the two Welsh provinces made the quarters either, and a Welsh club hasn’t reached the final for 20 years. - AP

Williams, Kerber in Aussie Open final German Angelique Kerber has advanced to her maiden grand slam final at the Australian Open where she will take on the might of history-chasing Serena Williams. The seventh-seeded Kerber needed one hour and 22 minutes to end the fairytale run of unseeded Australian-born Brit Johanna Konta 7-5 6-2. But Kerber will still start as a huge underdog in tomorrow’s title match against Williams, who has won all six of the Australian Open finals she has contested, including last year’s decider against Maria Sharapova. Victory for Williams will see her draw level with German great Steffi Graf on 22 majors, two behind the all-time mark of 24 held by Australian legend Margaret Smith Court. “I’m really looking forward to playing against Serena in the final,” Kerber said. “The No.1 player in the world at the first grand slam of the season, it’s amazing.

Serena Williams will play Angelique Kerber. “I’m really looking forward to taking this challenge and I must play my best tennis.” The American needed only 64 minutes to down No.4 seed Agnieszka Radwanska 6-0 6-4 in the first semi yesterday, extending her imposing career record over the Pole to 9-0. Williams completely dominated the winners’ count 42-4 against Radwanska, whose re-

cord against the American now sits at a sorry 0-9. “I’m really excited to be in another final - it kind of blows my mind right now,” said the 34-year-old Williams. “I feel I’m playing the best I can.” Williams had dropped only 22 games in the previous five rounds, the most competitive of which was her opening 6-4 7-5

victory over Italian Camila Giorgi - which was her first competitive match since the 2015 US Open in September. “Physically I’m feeling a lot better,” she said. “Mentally I needed that break after the Open. “I just feel so good.” Kerber jumped out of the blocks against Konta, breaking twice to lead 3-0. The unseeded Brit got the seat back on level terms, only for the German to snare the crucial break in the 11th game. The second set was more of a case of one-way traffic, with Kerber only committing 11 unforced errors throughout the match. Before arriving at Melbourne Park, Konta had won only four of her previous nine matches at grand slam level. But after causing a major boilover by ousting Venus Williams in the opening round, she rolled all the way to semis before coming up short against Kerber. - AAP

Match-fixing has been suspected in at least four matches played at New Zealand’s premier tennis tournament over the past five years. The Herald revealed one match played at the Heineken Open in 2011, one in 2012 and two in 2014 have caught the eye of those investigating suspicious betting patterns on the ATP Tour. One player who is understood to have been “red-flagged” to betting and tennis authorities was involved in two of the questionable matches. Tournament director for the 2011 and 2012 editions, Richard Palmer, yesterday said that while he had no knowledge of anything untoward in the particular matches identified and can “barely recall” the player supposedly involved twice, players were often accused of tanking - the practice of losing on purpose - at the Auckland tournament. “Some players just wanted to get off to Australia,” he said. “You knew certain guys were not really trying but know you can’t help but wonder whether they were not trying because they’d played a match or two and wanted to get to Melbourne [to prepare for the year’s first grand slam, the Australian Open], or were they not trying for other reasons.” While tanking is frowned upon by authorities, there is a big difference between losing so you can move on to the next tournament early and losing to order for betting syndicates. The four matches in question at Auckland saw late spikes in money on a certain result. In all four early-round contests, large pre-match bets came in on the player who was favoured with the bookmakers, shifting the odds for the match by well over 10 per cent. The four players who were heavily bet on to win all did so, with two games being won in straight sets and the other pair taking three sets to complete. In one particularly startling 2014 encounter, money flooded in on a first-round clash, with the underdog seeing his odds increase by over 50 per cent as bettors plumped for his opponent. That player - at the time ranked higher in the world rankings than his opponent - succumbed meekly in straight sets. The Herald chose not to list the matches or players suspected of cheating. None of the matches played have been definitively linked to match-fixing, but the players on the losing side of the encounter have come under scrutiny for regularly losing matches where suspicious betting patterns were discovered. - NZH

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Your ruling planet, Mars, is more than the planet of aggression, survival and war. He also governs the protection of resources. Today you’ll set you and yours up for future bounty. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): While others are gabbing about what they think of each other, you’ll be following your curiosity to bigger and more meaningful topics, mostly to do with ideas instead of people. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Whether or not you are looking forward to that big event, it’s going to happen. You may as well get psyched up for it. A fellow fire sign (Leo or Sagittarius) will help in this regard. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): All it takes is a smile and an encouraging word to boost team spirit. They may want you to volunteer for more responsibility. You are not obligated! Lost objects will turn up tonight. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’re a fast study. You get it on the first try and expect that it will always happen like that. It won’t. To do things better the second time, you have to do them a second time. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Is someone trying to control you? It is very unwise for any to attempt this, as your bristles are serious. You’re in the mood to resist authority and delve deeper into a strain of independent thought. Go with it and you’ll be lucky. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Perhaps you don’t even like the admiration you secretly feel for that roughish someone who still manages to win your affection. Alas, your heart has its own rules. What’s next? SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): It’s like your battery hasn’t quite kicked in and you might have to push this car to get the motor running. Helpful friends will push. Once you get it moving, it’s smooth sailing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): It’s only natural that the others are thinking of their own stories instead of getting things right in yours. That’s why it’s imperative that you stay in charge on your end. Get on your own side! It’s not selfish! CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’ll give the others a sense that you are confiding in them, and this charges the relationships with a special, private energy. Whether or not these are really secrets you’re divulging is another matter. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): For the job of the day, you have no real competition. This is you, doing what only you can, and doing it at a unique level. Keep your eyes on your own page. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The spotlight swings to you, sets you aglow in a way that makes you feel like a star, only moments later it moves again. That’s why you have to seize the moment when it’s on you!

Positive frame pays dividends BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury’s Hawke Cup hopes may have been dashed last weekend, but one positive to come out of the 2015-16 season has been the solid form of Des Kruger. Earlier this month, Kruger posted 117 against a Christchurch Senior Performance side, and in doing so, broke a 54-year-old second wicket partnership record with Callum Gallagher. Kruger then top-scored with 58

during Mid Canterbury’s second innings against North Otago last weekend, and the 25-year-old attributes his improved batting displays to his two-year stint in the UK, from which he returned in December. “It was a fresh start, I thought I needed to get away, I wasn’t in the greatest form before I went,” he said. “I was struggling a bit, I think going over freshened me up.” Kruger headed to England after contacting Torquay Cricket Club,

Rosebowl action P18

with the hope of experiencing cricket in its country of origin. During his time in the seaside town, Kruger played up to four times each week, immersing himself in the local cricket scene, while honing his skills with the bat. “I played a lot of cricket, what I really enjoyed was how into their cricket the English are,” he said. “I found that whatever sport it was, they’re really passionate about it.” After a summer in Devon, Kru-

ger moved on to Warminster Cricket Club in Wiltshire, where his level of play continued to improve in a division that tested his technique and resolve as a top order batsman. “It made me harder mentally, whenever you failed they’d let you know about it,” he said. “It forced me to work on things.” Since his return, Kruger has played with more confidence, enjoying his cricket while contributing positively to what has been a challenging campaign.

“I think coming back, my form has continued on and at the moment I’m feeling confident,” he said. Kruger will now hope to produce another strong performance against Otago Country in his final Hawke Cup outing of the season tomorrow. “We do fancy ourselves against Otago Country, there’s plenty of talent coming through and it’s been tough picking teams.” For a preview of the Hawke Cup game, see page 18.
