Water a hot election issue BY SUE NEWMAN

Indigenous artist here P3

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The future of a water consent on Lot 9 in the Ashburton District Council’s business estate could become a critical element in prospective district councillors’ election campaigns. At yesterday’s council meeting, councillors voted to retain the water consent on the lot, saying its future could then be revisited by the next council team.

That idea was hotly opposed by councillors Russell Ellis and Donna Favel, both of whom have committed to seeking reelection. Councillor Favel nailed her colours to the mast very early in the debate saying that based on the information the council had the consent should be cancelled. “The truth is we are over allocated and ECan seems unable to supply sufficient information for us to be making good

clear decisions at the moment. “With the information we have I’d be leaning towards surrendering the water consent on Lot 9. If not now, then when? If not us, then who? I won’t support retaining the consent,” she said.

Licensees learn new tools to reduce crime By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

Ashburton licensees are learning new tools to combat bad behaviour in bars thanks to a talk from an expert. Mark Lyne, principal advisor on drinking environments from the Health Promotion Agency (HPA) travelled from Auckland to speak yesterday. Part of his job involves supporting regulatory groups like police to enforce liquor laws, as well as working with licensed premises to comply. Mr Lyne spoke about ServeWise, a new tool developed to help train servers and CPTED, a series of guidelines to reduce crime. CPTED, or Crime Prevention through Environmental Design for Licensed Premises, is something developed by the HPA to reduce crime through the

design of a licensee. The guidelines apply to anywhere that has a liquor licence, like bars, restaurants, sports clubs, supermarkets and liquor stores. Mr Lyne said one of the ways crime can be reduced is through changing the layout of the building. He said some ways this can be done are by taking away bar stools, getting easier access to the toilets and reducing the chance of contact spillage. Mr Lyne said taking all these steps reduces the risk of people getting into fights over spilling drinks or knocking into each other. He said by also installing good lighting people could easily identify intoxication levels as well as check IDs more clearly. Liquor stores can reduce risks by

making sure their windows are not covered by signage and the store is well lit. He said this means people are less likely to cause trouble if somebody else can see clearly in and out of a store. ServeWise is an online tool and it was launched as a response to industry and regulatory demand for improved training. The tool was a collaboration between HPA and ACC as well as regulatory and industry stakeholders. ServeWise is under a game format and uses videos and animations and caters to both on and off-licences. The two separate modules take around an hour each to complete. Mr Lyne came down to Ashburton after he was asked by Chris Clark of ACADS to talk to some of the licensees in town, of whom nine came.

Ashburton residents can help lower the chance of their own properties being targeted by criminals, says a security expert. Dean Talbot, owner of Talbot Security Group, said people can make their cars a smaller target by doing simple things like not leaving valuables in their cars. “Make sure your car is locked with no spare key hidden inside and don’t park it on the street if you’ve got off street parking available,” he said. Mr Talbot said if people didn’t have off street parking available the best thing to do would be to park it under a street lamp, it also helps to stop frost getting on the car. However, investing a good five-star rated security alarm in a car is one of the best options. Mr Talbot said people should also get to know their neighbours. “When we look at a security assessment on a property the first thing we do is look at the house from the street. “Get to know your neighbours and get their numbers, security starts from the footpath,” he said. Installing sensor lights on a property was good, offenders hate lights. Another security option was to get good fences and gates, and when people go on holiday they should lock their gates. Don’t shut curtains during the day, keep them open and install netting over windows if you’re concerned about people seeing in, closed curtains give off signals that a property is empty. Mr Talbot said when people go away they should get their neighbours to check their letter box. He said leaving clothes on the washing line was also a good strategy to make it look like somebody is home. “If people see you have not been there for a few days it’s an invitation to break in,” he said. Doors and windows must always be locked, Mr Talbot said people can also look in to replacing the short screws in their door locks with longer ones. He said this makes it harder for somebody to kick open a door. “However, the best form of security is paying for a reliable, monitored alarm system,” he said. It is also very important for anyone to contact police immediately if they see someone doing something suspicious. Even if police don’t show up every call will be recorded and used by police to map crime. Mr Talbot said not every youth on the streets are suspicious and people should get as much information as they can and call 111.

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE

Big welcome for students By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton College has a special welcome today for 30 students on a 12-day visit from TokorozawaKita High School in Japan. Their visit marks the 20th anniversary of the relationship between the two schools and the students have been accompanied this year by their principal. Another supporting teacher was once a student on the exchange. The Tokorozawa group arrived in Ashburton last night; they were met by the families that will host them in their homes for the next

11 days and then came together at college again today for an official welcome and powhiri. Over the next week they will go to classes and visit a local primary school and rest home, as well as spending at day at Tekapo and another at Lincoln University. Ashburton College’s head of languages Ken Pow said both schools were proud of the 20-year relationship, which had endured despite major events like the SARS virus, Swine flu and earthquakes. He said Japanese as a subject was still thriving at Ashburton College, despite it losing popularity at

other schools. The college also organises trips to Japan for students. The 30 students are being hosted individually by Mid Canterbury families, who will provide a slice of Kiwi life through everyday things like cooking and family activities. “Simple enjoyable family activities are great. Driving out into the dark countryside and looking at the stars is also something they can’t do at home.” Mr Pow said having the students around college was also an enriching experience for the Ashburton students and helped them get a feel for the bigger world outside

their own patch. The Japanese students were encouraged in class to share stories about their own lives. International director Michelle Hosking said it was a busy term for her department with 20 new international fee-paying students who started at the beginning of the week. The 20 includes five Korean students who are among a larger group of 150 attending New Zealand schools as part of a Free Trade Agreement between Korea and New Zealand. Ashburton also hosts students from Germany and Sweden.

Aborigine artist calls Methven home for part of year By emma moody

emma.m@theguardian.co.nz

For two months of the year, an Aborigine artist calls Methven home. Lesley Salem has been painting what she calls “contemporary traditional” Aborigine art for as long as she can remember. Her father was a renowned Australian Aborigine artist named Les Elvin who taught her the symbolism and techniques required in painting Aborigine art. “He wouldn’t let me exhibit my work until my forties because my dots weren’t right,” she said. Aborigine art is made up of small, raised paint dots, which give the art texture and depth. Before acrylic paint was introduced to the Aborigine art world in the 1970s, Mrs Salem said the artists would make their own colours from materials such as charcoal and different coloured clays. Mrs Salem said she doesn’t know how long each painting takes her to complete as she spends most of her time as a rural nurse in Australia. “It takes me five hours to get to the hospital I work at, so I leave home at about 5.30 in the morning and don’t get home until about nine at night, so I work on them in the weekend,” she said. Mrs Salem has been coming to New Zealand for about 25 years and said she loves it here because it feels similar to where she grew

When she was younger, Mrs Salem’s brother had a car accident and spent a few years in a spinal unit and their parents stayed with him, meaning she lived with her grandmother in for a while. Mrs Salem said symbolism is the most important part of Abo-

rigine art because symbols make up the picture. “There is a symbol for everything. It’s a language we can’t afford to lose. “There are 320 mobs and 200 languages so it would be impossi-

ble to make a universal Aborigine language, which is why the symbols are so important,” she said. Mrs Salem is working on a series of commissioned paintings which illustrate what Australian land would look like without people, entitled the Songline Series.

Water a hot election issue From P1 Her speech prompted a round of applause from members of the community action group Bung the Bore, formed to fight the council’s sale of Lot 9 with its water consent to a water bottling company. Through rallies, a presentation to the council, a petition and now a solicitor’s letter, Bung the Bore has maintained its stance that the water consent should be cancelled. Mr Ellis also wanted a decision on the future of the water consent to be held over until after the October local body elections, but councillor Alan Totty said that taking it out and leaving it in achieved the same thing. The final decision on the consent’s future would be made by the new council. Councillor Don McLeod agreed. “The next council will need to look at the issue and decide if it agrees or not. We need to make a decision to retain the water and the council can look at it in the future. We need more information before we make a decision to abandon this consent,” he said. Lot 9 is the only site in the council’s business park that has been granted a water consent. It was obtained so the council had an option of selling a site to a business that was a “wet” industry, councillor Darryl Nelson said. “If someone wanted to process carrots they’d have to reapply for a water consent if this consent was gone. If we take this out, it’s lost forever,” he said. Mayor Angus McKay and his councillors, apart from Mrs Favel and Mr Ellis agreed that the consent should be retained for future use on Lot 9 and that the council should work towards improving the framework for obtaining Ngai Tahu and Arowhenua runanga engagement on matters of interest to Maori.

In brief

Changing tack to stay relevant By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Rural Women New Zealand is changing tack to stay relevant in a rapidly changing world, the organisation’s vice-president Fiona Gower says. Mrs Gower was in Ashburton yesterday for the Canterbury provincial meeting. She said the organisation was in the process of consolidating after selling off its business arm Access HomeHealth two years ago. The sale of the home healthcare company to Green Cross generated $18 million, affording financial stability for RWNZ. “Now we can budget without worrying about where the money is coming from,” Mrs Gower said. “We have rejigged the rules, bylaws and structures to keep in line with the legalities of the Charities Act and we now have a concise set of rules. “Change is always challenging but if we don’t change we won’t remain relative in a rapidly changing world.” Nationally RWNZ has retained relatively stable numbers, with about 2500 members but its reach extends to upward of 7000 people through social networking channels. The number of individual members – those not affiliated with a particular branch, has increased in recent years, bringing in new skills and knowledge. As well as providing bursaries, scholarships and grants, charity

The SPCA is warning Mid Canterbury motorists to be alert for hawks. The animal ambulance in Christchurch has responded to an increase in calls over the past few months and is encouraging drivers to slow down if they see a hawk eating carrion or roadkill. “If it is safe to do so, please slow down and allow them time to disengage their talons from their meal and lift off.” Hawks hit or even clipped by cars more often than not won’t survive their injuries. The SPCA said drivers could help by moving roadkill onto the grass verge so hawks could eat without being in danger.

Car on fire Ashburton Fire Brigade responded to a car fire in the early hours of yesterday morning. One appliance was sent out to extinguish the blaze and police are now investigating.

safety campaign Either Way It’s 20k has also been on the national organisation’s agenda over the past two years. With drought and the dairy downturn impacting on mental health, RWNZ rallied to support farming families and other organisations doing the same. “Farmers usually look after the farm, but there is an extra burden on a lot of women, who are working on the farm, doing the books, managing the household and increasingly working off farm to help make ends meet,”

Mrs Gowan said. “There is also a ripple effect to the downturn, with many businesses also suffering. “We are working closely with Rural Support Trusts and the Farmstrong programme, and make finances available to organisations to hold social events “The emphasis is on strengthening rural communities because for the country to stay strong we need strong rural communities.

■ ENVIRONMENT CANTERBURY

Water-take breachers to be named and shamed Mid Canterbury irrigators issued abatement and infringement notices for breaching water-take consents will be named by Environment Canterbury. ECan chief executive Bill Bayfield said the organisation was moving towards stricter enforcement for rule-breakers and would publish abatement and infringement notices on its website. The regional council will also move its focus from ensuring all water-takes have meters, to cracking down on low flow breaches during times of water restrictions. Mr Bayfield said many farmers had gone above and beyond the national requirements for water measurement and spent $25,000 on meters that provided daily data. ECan would stage an “immediate intervention” from now on to fix problems like low flow breaches and follow through with stricter enforcement, including prosecution. He said water use in Canterbury was a huge issue and people were showing how deeply they cared about fairly apportioned use of water. “We get this. We could have been stricter on non-compliance in the past, but we’re well on the way to having a fully compliant region by October this year. Those farmers that are lagging behind know what they’ve got to do.” He said publishing abatement notices and infringement notices on ECan’s website was in response to the public’s desire to see who

Last chance to purchase art works By Emma moody

Emma.m@thEguardian.co.nz

The 52nd annual Ashburton Society of Arts exhibition closes today and it could be the last chance to get your hands on a special piece of art. The exhibition has been held in the Ashburton Art Gallery and exhibitions assistant Nicole Bourke said the exhibition couldn’t have been timed better. “It lined up with the school holidays so families were able to bring their kids along to have a look and it was just an ideal crossover,” she said. All of the artwork seen at the exhibition was available for purchase and over 100 pieces have been sold, some of it before the exhibition was open to the public. The winner of the people’s choice award, Val Clemens, said her painting had been sold to a sponsor before the exhibition opened. Ms Bourke said the guest artists’ works had been selling really well as well. “There is still time to buy them and they are still selling,” she said.

Bill Bayfield was breaching water-takes. “The water meter programme has been hugely successful and we now have less than one per cent of water take consent holders without an action plan in place for installing a water meter. We’ve currently got non-compliant farmers on notice that they’ve got ten days to comply with the water meter installation rules. “I believe that by next season, the whole region will be compliant in terms of water meter installation. It was always our intention to reach this point within five years of developing the water management strategy and that’s what we’re on track to achieve.” Enforcement action can include formal written warning (for minor offences), an abatement notice to take action or stop an activity that may have an adverse environmental effect, an infringement notice which includes a fine, prosecution for serious offences that end up in court.

Parents, grandparents, former students, prospective parents and anyone who feels they would like to have a say in the future direction of the school is being encouraged to take part. The strategic plan helps set priorities and goals for the

school; copies are available at the school or online at www. surveymonkey.com. Several consultation meetings are also being held at the v school for people to ask questions – these are on today at 3pm, August 1 at 6pm and August 3 at 11am. Principal Sean Wansbrough, in his newsletter to parents this week, said it was an exciting time when the school and

its community could talk about the “big picture”. He said ideas could range from how the school can better work with families to improve achievement, or about how to use the pool more effectively. “It might also be a discussion about how we can attract more families to Chertsey School or ways we can use our classrooms and buildings differently.”

■ NBR RICH LIST

In brief

Thirteen newcomers on list The richest New Zealanders are becoming more diverse, with 13 newcomers to the list coming from countries in Asia, The Middle East and Europe. The National Business Review’s 2016 Rich List, released yesterday, features a largely unchanged top ten wealthiest people – worth a combined $24 billion. Graeme Hart remains the richest man in New Zealand, but his wealth took a $2 billion hit this year. His wealth fell from $9 billion in 2015 to $7 billion this year, amid concern over some of his debt-heavy business, NBR reported. Hart is far and away the richest New Zealander and despite the knock to his fortunes, he was able to launch two mega yachts – both longer than 100m in Norway this year. Investor Richard Chandler is second wealthiest, worth $4.2 billion, followed by the Todd family with oil and gas investments, $3.3 billion, the liquor magnate Erceg family, $1.6 bil-

Alan Pye - the only local to appear on the list with $350 million. lion, and property investor Sir Michael Friedlander, $1.5 billion. The man behind 42 Below and Moa is featuring on the Rich List for the first time this year. Geoff Ross sold the vodka business for $138 million in 2006 and has featured on this year’s Rich List thanks to the success of Trilogy International. The skincare and candle business has had a share price increase of 340 per cent in the

past 12 months, and Ross is now worth $70 million. Among the new faces on the list is the Kotzikas family who made their $80 million fortune through fishing. Patriarch Kypros Kotzikas, 72, came to New Zealand from Cyprus and settled in Christchurch as an 18-year-old. He worked at an Aranui fish and chips shop and now he and his four sons own United Fisheries. Eyal Aharoni, a former Israeli army major, has amassed $70 million by creating Wellington’s biggest property company Primeproperty Group. Aharoni’s first appearance on the Rich List comes 28 years after arriving in New Zealand to complete a masters degree at Victoria University. Property developer and hospitality businessman Chao “Charlie” Zheng has featured on the Rich List for the first time. NBR said Zheng had “mostly flown under the radar” since his arrival in New Zealand from China a decade ago, until he pur-

chased Kirkcaldie & Stains’ old Harbour City Centre building for $45.85 million in 2014. Zheng’s commercial property portfolio has boosted his wealth to $110 million. NBR News Editor Duncan Bridgeman said the contribution of migrant investors to New Zealand couldn’t be understated. “Invariably, those from different ethnic backgrounds who have made it on to the Rich List came to New Zealand decades ago, and methodically set about investing in industries as diverse as hospitality, fishing, property, technology and education,” Bridgeman said. “The contribution of these investors to the economic fabric of New Zealand is sometimes overlooked but, increasingly, they are a key component in the success and diversity of the New Zealand economy.” NBR looked at the philanthropic activities of those on the Rich List and identified a number of big donors who prefer to maintain a low profile. - NZME

More than 100 children entered the Mighty Miniature school holiday competition at the Ashburton Art Gallery. The miniature canvases were open to children spilling their imagination onto them through means of paint, buttons and ribbon. The competition was judged by the president of the Ashburton Society of Arts, Rowena Hart. Nicole Bourke, exhibitions assistant at Ashburton Art Gallery, said there were children entered in the competition who came from as far as Dunedin, Christchurch and Australia. “We ran out of canvases at one point when we had 80 kids come through in one day,” she said. There were three categories in the miniature competition, ages under five, between five and 10 and between 11 and 16. One winner and four merit award winners were chosen from each category.

Four Auckland schoolchildren were bitten by two stray dogs that wandered on to a busy school field, causing lunchtime havoc and forcing classrooms into lockdown. Two pupils were rushed to hospital by their parents for further treatment, while another two had their “puncture wounds” dressed at the scene. About 1.15pm yesterday, a black labrador and a german shepherd/staffordshire cross ran into Three Kings Primary School on Mt Eden Road. The dogs left before animal management officers arrived. The dogs, which are registered, reportedly ran off down Mt Albert Road, but have since been found after a search by four animal management officers, police and the dogs’ owner. The dogs are now impounded. - NZME

Abuser sentenced The slaughterman whose cruel mistreatment of bobby calves was caught on camera has been sentenced to home detention.

Judge Merelina Burnett called the mistreatment, which involved the kicking, hitting and throwing of bobby calves, as “outside the job description” of Erickson who was a casual slaughterman at Down Cow, a pet food business in Huntly, in August last year when he was secretly filmed by Farmwatch New Zealand. - NZME

Long arm of the law finally catches up 20 years later A convicted sex predator who admitted a brutal 1994 rape after thinking for 20 years that he’d gotten away with it, faces being locked up for the rest of his life, a court heard yesterday. Devon Charles Bond, 49, had been released from jail in 1998 after kidnapping a North Canterbury woman with the intention of raping her in 1995. But only Bond knew at the time, that he had already raped,

and not been caught, when he broke into a Christchurch woman’s home on May 9, 1994 and raped her at knife-point. For two decades, Bond lived his dark secret until he got into a drunken fight with police after a boozy work night out in December 2014. During his arrest, officers took a DNA sample which matched samples held at Environmental Science and Re-

search (ESR) that were taken in 1994. Bond, a top wrestler who represented New Zealand, was then arrested and charged with the cold case rape, sexual violation and abduction. He pleaded guilty at the High Court in Christchurch in May this year and was due to be sentenced yesterday. However, it was adjourned after defence counsel Tony Grieg

wanted to get a second opinion on two health assessor reports compiled by a psychologist and a psychiatrist. At least one of the reports, the court heard, reflects on the “positive influences” Bond has had in his life since his release from prison. Bond was remanded in custody to now be sentenced on October 26. - NZME

Injured actor James Rolleston has shifted hospitals and is now in an intensive care unit. Rolleston, who rose to fame starring in the celebrated New Zealand film Boy, was seriously injured when his car struck a bridge on State Highway 35 near Opotiki.

School hit by lightning Karamea School students got a lesson on the power of nature yesterday, after lightning struck the school during lunchtime.

One struck at the front of the school while the other seemed to hit one of the buildings along the side. No one was injured, and students and teachers huddled in the library to keep safe, she said. - NZME

OUR VIEW

Another year, another rich list Sue Newman

CHIEF REPORTER

t’s a bit of an oddity that we put the names of our richest individuals and families up in lights. The annual naming of the country’s most wealthy is done and dusted and it’s staggering to add up the net wealth of those on the list. Many have been there for years, their wealth growing annually; others are newcomers who’ve broken through the glass ceiling. How they’ve made their money and how they’ve managed to hang on to that money will come in a multitude of fascinating stories. Most of those stories will never be told; few people will know the hard work and sheer graft that it’s taken for many to make it on to that list. Others are there by the fortune of birth, but being handed wealth doesn’t mean you’ll have the skills to hang on to it or make it grow. Making money is about skill, it’s about luck and it’s about taking a punt – at the right time – and it’s about having exceptional financial smarts. But taken in isolation, without those stories, it feels like an invasion of privacy for those on the list when their value in dollars and cents is up there in lights. Many are people who probably shun the limelight and many are likely to be people who never have their wealth on show. When the list comes out, they can’t hide. You have to ask why it’s done, and whether individuals can ask that their names are not made public property. Maybe it’s a small town thing, but talking about how much you’re worth is one of those things most people don’t like to do. There’s nothing worse than someone flashing their cash. The upside of the rich list is that the rest of us can see how well a few of us are doing; the downside is the very human condition of envy. You can’t help looking at someone on the sunny side of 50 who’s managed to accumulate extreme wealth (by Kiwi standards) and not feel we’ve missed out. Good on those who make it big at the bank, we’d all love to be there, but commiserations to them as well for having their private business making headlines.

There was an obvious cure for bum-waving Goldie T

hursday last week, Amanda and I went to The Cure concert in Auckland. It was my first visit to Vectra Arena and I was blown away by it. What a magic venue. We had a reasonably short taxi ride to the venue. I must admit to a few butterflies, the excited ones not the nervous ones. We decided to skip the big line at the merchandise stand and even bigger one at the booze stand and headed straight for our seats. We were greeted by a couple, I’m guessing in their 50s, which looked to be the average age of the crowd, who were sitting next to us. When I say greeted, I actually mean welcomed with open arms. Literally! I was wondering if we had met before or I had an older sister that I didn’t know about, the welcome we received was that enthusiastic. I get the feeling she may have pre-loaded before pre-loading. To be fair, she did only ask what we thought was going to be the first song, three times in the 20 minutes before The Cure hit the stage. What a concert! Three hours,

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

36 songs, with four encores. Lead singer Robert Smith has not lost a bit of his talent, or weirdness for that matter. His voice was superb and he didn’t miss a beat. That’s pretty good considering they have been on tour for some time now, including three sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden in New York. Well that and he’s knocking on the door of 60. He hardly spoke at all during the concert, in fact late into the show he actually apologised. He said he had full intention of engaging with the audience, but once he gets up there in front of everyone, he just “F***s it all up”. Then he said: “I’ve got 101 things to say too”, followed by an apologetic shrug of his shoulders and into the next song. He didn’t have any close-up cameras on himself or the band for the big screens. They were set

at the side of the stage. This did upset some who were wanting that visual connection, but I found it added to the mystic of him and the band. And before you ask I hadn’t had any smokes in the magic garden before the show! Talking of that though, back to our neighbours in the audience. The lady, let’s call her Goldie (for the gold, sparkly skintight hot pants she was wearing) went on a rollercoaster journey during the concert. From the highs of “Oooooh I know this song, let’s jump up and wave my bum in Amanda’s face (some call it dancing) while screeching like some sort of wild animal being eaten alive by a grizzly bear”, to a “let’s slump in the seat like a teenage girl that’s been grounded, because we don’t know this song”, followed up with a mild squawk to us about how crap the song is. I think the four trips to the toilet, each time returning with wine, was not the best tactical move Goldie made. Well it didn’t help her memory any. She forgot the seats fold up behind you when you commence bum waving, not just once but on three occasions. Each time slumping

on to her strategically placed wine. This, in hindsight, was a brilliant move, because I’m sure the stickiness of the floor around our feet was the only thing that kept her in our row when she fell on to the people in front of us, while bum waving during the first encore. That was the final straw for the husband who escorted Goldie away home, after apologising to the half a dozen people sitting closest to her. I’m sure she would have been gutted to learn that six of The Cure’s best bum-waving songs were played in a row in the final encore. We had a very entertaining evening and we loved The Cure as well.

‘Hack Clinton’s emails’ Donald Trump encouraged Russia to find and make public missing emails deleted by his presidential opponent, Hillary Clinton, setting off an instant debate over hacking and his urging of a foreign government to meddle in American politics. Shortly after Trump’s extraordinary remarks, his Republican running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, took a different tack and warned of “serious consequences” if Russia interfered in the election. Democrats – and some Republicans – quickly condemned the remarks by the Republican presidential standard-bearer. They came as the Democrats met on the third day of their national convention in Philadelphia, where Clinton will accept the presidential nomination to face Republican Trump in November. Trump’s comments raised the question of whether he was condoning foreign government hacking of US computers and the public release of information stolen from political adversaries – actions that are at least publicly frowned upon across the globe. His brief remarks managed to divert attention from an embarrassing leak of other

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot ‘roars with heat’ Jupiter’s Great Red Spot – a hurricane three times bigger than Earth – is blasting the planet’s upper atmosphere with heat, astronomers have found. Using measurements from an infrared telescope in Hawaii, a UK and US team found evidence for temperatures as high as 1500°C – hundreds of degrees warmer than anywhere else on the planet. They suggest the hotspot is created by thunderous soundwaves “breaking” in the thin upper reaches of the atmosphere. The research is published in Nature. It arguably solves what planetary scientists had dubbed an “energy crisis” for gas giants

like Jupiter: temperatures in their upper atmospheres soar much higher than can be explained by solar energy – especially given their vast distances from the Sun. If the mysterious heat were generated by local sources,

like Jupiter’s famous storm, then the conundrum would be solved – and these measurements are the first direct evidence of any such activity. Study co-author Dr Tom Stallard, from the University of Leicester, said this was a major

step forward in a “20 to 30 year odyssey” to try and understand heat flow on Jupiter. “Ever since Voyager, we’ve had measurements of the temperature at the top of Jupiter’s atmosphere, and it’s been hot across the whole globe – from the poles, all the way to the equator,” he told the BBC. Jupiter’s enormous, dramatic aurora can explain the heat in the polar regions, but for that warmth to reach the equator would require incredibly dramatic mixing, which modelling studies haven’t been able to support. “There’s no real excuse for it to be so hot,” said Dr James O’Donoghue from Boston University, the paper’s first author. - BBC

Church attacker nurtured jihad in quiet French town Adel Kermiche nursed his obsession with jihad in the quiet French town of Saint-EtienneDu-Rouvray, alongside the Seine River, and his twicethwarted attempt to join Islamic State extremists in Syria ended with an attack on an elderly priest celebrating Mass

in its sturdy stone church. New details emerged yesterday about the 19-yearold, one of two assailants who took five hostages at the church in Saint-Etienne-duRouvray, slitting the throat of the 85-year-old priest, the Rev. Jacques Hamel, before being

shot to death by police. The attack was claimed by the Islamic State group, which released a video showing Kermiche and his accomplice pledging allegiance to the group. Those who knew him in this Normandy town where he grew up said Kermiche ap-

peared to think of little else other than trying to join the extremist group in Syria after the January 2015 attacks on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket. “He said it wasn’t possible to live peacefully in France.” - AP

Swift has to Shake It Off It’s been a rough week or so for Taylor Swift, and it’s only getting worse. Nominations for the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards are out, and the Shake It Off singer has failed to pick up a single one. It’s made all the more worse by the fact that last year was undoubtedly The Taylor Show – she was up for a whopping 10 awards and went on to win four of them, including the coveted Video Of The Year for her star-studded Bad Blood clip. The list of nominees included Beyonce earning a career-best 11 nods for Lemonade, while Adele landed eight for Hello and Send My Love (To Your New Lover).

Kristen back with Alicia Kristen Stewart has confirmed she is dating Alicia Cargile. The 26-yearold actress – who was previously in a relationship with Robert Pattinson for five years until she cheated on him with married director Rupert Sanders – was first romantically linked with her personal assistant 18 months ago, but she has never directly addressed the speculation until now, admitting she is overjoyed they have recently got back together. She said: “Right now I’m just really in love with my girlfriend. We’ve broken up a couple of times and gotten back together, and this time I was like, ‘Finally, I can feel again.’”

by 51 per cent in the 12 months to February 2016,” he said. The price for infant formula and “growing up” milk powders was less reliant on the global commodity dairy price, he said. The state-of-the-art pharmaceutical standard plant will produce infant formula, ultra-high temperature (UHT) cream and small amounts of skim milk pow-

der, using locally sourced raw milk for global markets. As part of its “gate-to-plate” supply chain strategy, many of Mataura Milk’s products would be canned and distributed by BODCO, a Hamilton based dairy business with a pharmaceuticalgrade blending and packaging facility. BODCO is also a minority shareholder in Mataura Valley

Milk, with 5.6 per cent. Moody said the relationship with China Animal Husbandry Group, “provides us the confidence to proceed with the plant and excellent access to the rapidly growing demand in the Chinese market”. According to corporate profile on Bloomberg, China Animal Husbandry Group produces veterinary medicines, feeds, feed additives, milk powder, whey powder, pet food, and seeds. It also produces raw chemical materials, instruments, and equipment. Moody said 20 per cent of the company will be held by Southland dairy farmers who have the ability to meet Mataura’s raw milk and quality requirements. The remainder of the company will be held by mostly New Zealand investors. China Animal Husbandry Group’s investment in Mataura Valley Milk has been approved by the New Zealand Overseas Investment Office as well as the Chinese Government, the company said. - NZME

■ COMMENT

Compiled by

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

Also driving volatility in markets is uncertainty surrounding central bank decisions. The biggest of the central banks to meet this week was the Federal Reserve in the US. The Fed’s two-day meeting came to a close with no change to the current cash rate. As per usual, the commentary that accompanied the decision was the main focus of the meeting. The central bank sees global risks lessening and the US economy gaining strength. As seems to be the case across the developed world, inflation remains subdued and below targeted rates, largely due to low energy prices. However, the tone of the commentary was upbeat and the central bank is still expected to raise rates twice this year, with some expecting a rate rise as early as September. The other major central bank to meet this week is the Bank of Japan (BOJ). At the time of writing the two-day meeting had not completed, so a policy announcement had not been made. However, in the lead up to the announcement, there had been plenty of news flow to drive sentiment, including comments from both the Prime Minister and BOJ Governor. Late last week, Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda ruled

out the widely talked about use of helicopter money, or directly monetising budget deficits, to combat deflation. Then this week, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who gained further parliamentary control at the recent election, said that the country’s fiscal stimulus measures would be at least twice what the market was expecting. This gave markets a boost after waning earlier in the week. Closer to home, the Australian consumer price index for the second quarter was released and was largely in line with expectations. For the quarter the CPI rose 0.4 per cent, while on an annualised basis inflation was recorded at 1.0 per cent. The quarterly figure was a marked increase from last quarter’s -0.2 per cent, while the annualised figure showed a mover further away from the target 2-3 per cent. Following the release the Australian dollar rose, although this was short lived as it moved back to finish flat for the day against the US dollar. Markets were looking for some confirmation from the inflation figures that the Reserve Bank of Australia would cut rates at next week’s meeting. However, the mixed data underwhelmed and saw mixed commentary emerge over whether there will be a rate cut or not.

Focus on earnings season t has been a mixed week for markets, pulling back from recent all-time or year-long highs as investors focus on earnings season and central bank announcements. Earnings season has ramped up on the global scene while investors in New Zealand and Australia are starting to see some results for local companies. Reporting season is being watched closely as, given that markets are at all-time highs, investors would like to see the high valuations backed up by solid performance figures. The reporting season in the US changed up a gear this week, with around 150 of the S&P500 reporting. Of the S&P500 companies that have reported so far, 58 per cent have shown earnings growth, while 61 per cent have seen revenue growth for the quarter. So far, corporate earning season is tracking above estimates, though it is important to keep in mind that estimates were very low. The oil & gas sector, as was expected, has seen negative earnings growth, although, so far results haven’t been as bad as predicted. Of the companies to report, Apple was a stand out, beating estimates for the second quarter, and giving better than expected guidance for the upcoming quarter. As was expected, the company continues its expansion into emerging markets were it is seeing particularly high growth. Another catalyst for growth will be the release of the new iPhone 7 in September.

State-owned China Animal Husbandry has taken a majority stake in Mataura Valley Milk in exchange for funding construction of a $200 million milk powder manufacturing plant at McNab, near Gore, starting from October. The Chinese company will hold 71.8 per cent of the equity of Mataura Milk with Southland supplier-farmers owning 20 per cent, the company said. Mataura Valley said the venture would create at least 100 new jobs, grow added value dairy exports, and inject “significant income” into the Southland economy. Gore resident and Mataura director Aaron Moody said the plant was designed to tap into the growing global demand for nutritional powders, especially infant formula. “The global infant formula market was worth $57 billion in 2013, and the market in China alone is expected to reach $38b by 2017,” Moody said. “The appetite for nutritional powders is huge with China’s imports of infant formula growing

All of the best images from Milford Sound seem to be taken on rainy days and this one is no exception. Jorg Nittmann from the Ashburton Photographic Society walked up the short track at the carpark to get a different view of this muchphotographed area. This image was the top landscape print in the society’s recent competition.

In brief Firebirds want history The Queensland Firebirds are banding together for what could be the last time before cashed-up new Australian franchises begin picking apart their roster ahead of netball’s revolution next year. The Firebirds host arch-rivals NSW Swifts on Sunday in the trans-Tasman grand final at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre – a rematch of last year’s decider, when Queensland trailed all match but stole a thrilling victory in the final moments. If the Firebirds can do it again, they’ll become the first and only team in history to secure back-to-back trans-Tasman titles. - AAP

Olympic greats unhappy Sir John Walker and Dick Quax, two of the country’s greatest middledistance runners, have expressed disappointment in the New Zealand Olympic Committee’s decision to back their parent body’s stance of accepting Russia into the Rio Games. At the 1976 Montreal Olympics Walker won the gold medal in the 1500m and Quax earned silver in the 5000m. In an interview both agreed the NZOC was likely to have had its hand forced politically by the International Olympic Committee. - NZME

■ NETBALL

Methven repels United Methven proved too good for United while Hampstead saw off Ashburton College on the penultimate night of the premier netball grade’s trophy round at the EA Networks Stadium last night. Methven were just two ahead

of United after the first quarter, but boosted their lead to 17-10 at halftime. United showed plenty of determination to reduce the deficit to five at three-quarter time, but an impressive final quarter saw

Methven through to a convincing 33-23 victory. Meanwhile in the opposite 6:30pm fixture, Hampstead and College were all square at 8-8 at the end of the opening 10 minutes, but a sterling second stanza

saw Hampstead through to a 1712 halftime lead. From there Cindy Meadows’ ladies never looked back as Hampstead took a 31-22 win. Pick up tomorrow’s Guardian for a full netball wrap.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Hoffman wary of unorthodox Panthers By DaviD Skipwith Captain Ryan Hoffman says the Warriors defence will need to be on high alert to contain a young and powerful Penrith outfit in tomorrow’s vital NRL clash at Mt Smart Stadium. The eighth-placed visitors will be undaunted by their second trip across the Tasman following their 30-18 ‘home’ win over the ninth-ranked Warriors in Christchurch back in round 10. Anthony Griffin’s Panthers have grown in skill and confidence since then and taken their game to another level in the last fortnight, with an impressive mix of ad-lib and structured play helping them to back-to-back wins

over Parramatta and Brisbane. Hoffman is wary of the Panthers unpredictable play that relies on the power and subtleties of some big young forwards and the composed and creative talents of fledgling playmakers Nathan Cleary and Bryce Cartwright and NSW Origin star Matt Moylan. “They’re young blokes and they’re big and they run hard and they’re playing really confident,” warned Hoffman. “They’ll get a lot of confidence out of their win against the Broncos because not too many people go to Suncorp on a Friday night and get the win like that. “So they’ve done really well and they’ve got their tails up.

“I don’t think they fear coming over to New Zealand and they’re going to be quite confident coming to our place. “That just shows that we’ve got to be on board in attack but also defensively as well.” The ball-playing ability of 21-year-old back-rower-turnedfive-eighth Cartwright is well known, but hard-running prop Leilani Latu (23) looms as another threat that can either punch through the line or pass before the defence, as he did to put Moylan over for a try in the second-half against Brisbane. On that occasion it was an offload from 150-game veteran lock Trent Merrin that provided the second-phase ball for his fel-

low forward, and Hoffman said the Warriors could not afford to relax until the visitor’s ball-runners are contained. Warriors coach Andrew McFadden wants his players to be prepared for any scenario when the Panthers have possession in attack. Much like the Warriors, Penrith’s style can disrupt the best defensive structures through their unorthodox blend of flair and percentage play. “They’re a bit of an awkward side,” said McFadden. “They play a different style of footy, they’ve got very skilful and agile people so we’re going to have to defend exceptionally well. - NZME

Rowing New Zealand is disappointed the sport’s governing body have gone against their own rules to allow the Russian men’s four to compete at the Rio Olympics. New Zealand’s bid to send a coxless four to the Games ended with FISA confirming Russia will cobble together a crew from six eligible athletes. The sport’s rules state that teams cannot change more than 50 per cent of the crew after they’ve been entered into the regatta. Only one crew member was eligible from the original Russian four that qualified the boat. - NZME

No distractions Selfless veteran Michael Ennis insists his newly-announced retirement must not distract from Cronulla’s quest for a maiden NRL premiership. Ennis surprised the rugby league community on Tuesday when he announced that he was knocking back a one-year extension to hang up his boots at the end of the NRL season. The decision means that, in his 14th and final season, the hooker has one last shot at an elusive premiership ring. - AAP

Doggies regroup Despite more than a month remaining in the regular NRL season, Canterbury’s premiership credentials face an early examination when they host struggling St George Illawarra. The Bulldogs blew a big chance to secure a second chance in the finals after their noshow against defending premiers North Queensland in Townsville last-start, dropping to fifth spot. Now the 2014 grand finalists have to regroup quickly and kickstart their premiership assault tonight at ANZ Stadium against a spiralling Dragons side that have lost their past three matches. Bulldogs coach Des Hasler insists it’s imperative his men put the Cowboys’ nightmare behind them and respond against the Dragons if they are to challenge for the top four. - AAP

In brief Coles still a chance Hurricanes captain Dane Coles will be given until match day to prove his fitness for Saturday’s Super Rugby semi-final against the Chiefs at Westpac Stadium. Coles has been bracketed at hooker with Ricky Riccitelli in an otherwise unchanged Hurricanes team from the one which beat the Sharks 41-0 in last weekend’s quarter-final. Riccitelli has been bracketed with New Zealand Under-20s hooker Leni Apisai, who will come into the squad if Coles does not recover in time from the rib injury he suffered against the Sharks. - NZME

Sopoaga punt pays off Of all the smart signings pulled off by Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph, his best bit of business remains his decision to lure and then persevere with Lima Sopoaga. The rewards for identifying then nurturing such a talented but raw playmaker as Sopoaga in 2011 are being reaped now. The Highlanders wouldn’t be the team they are without the accuracy, composure and direction Sopoaga provides from first-five. The 25-year-old has come to sit alongside Ben Smith and Aaron Smith in terms of the influence he has in the Highlanders and his importance to making their game plan hang together. - NZME

Southern’s family ties By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

When coach Michael Ellis takes up his position on the sideline for the 2016 Watters Cup final tomorrow, it will not only mark a special day for Southern, but also a continuation of the Ellis family’s close ties to the club. In 1994, Michael’s father Bob played a vital role in the amalgamation of the struggling Hinds and Mayfield clubs that formed Southern. He then became the club’s first president. Since then, Bob – a former Hinds halfback – has watched Southern grow, while holding key positions throughout its col-

ourful young history. If you can think of a job that needs doing at a rugby club – Bob’s probably done it. The senior Ellis became club captain in 1997 and a life member three years later, he was also Southern’s union delegate. Bob has served the union, too. He’s been Mid Canterbury president and is a Mid Canterbury Rugby Union life member. His dedication to Southern was further recognised when appointed patron of the club in 2013. But the Ellis’ connections to Southern don’t end there. Michael’s younger brother, John, holds the club’s record for

appearances; Bob offered the fairly specific estimate of 222. John, who donned the green and gold of Mid Canterbury more than 90 times, played a vital role in the club’s dominant spell of the noughties. Southern won the Watters Cup in 2001, 03, 05, 06 (shared with Celtic), 07 and 09 with John plying his trade at first five and fullback. There’s also another Ellis brother. Richard, Bob’s eldest son, turned out for Southern in the club’s early years before his playing career came to an abrupt end after an anterior cruciate ligament tear.

Arguably the most talented of the three, Richard attended New Zealand under-19 trials and now resides in Perth. To further the Ellis clan’s tight bind to Southern, Bob also has relations involved in the senior B set-up. Great-nephews Aaron and Jason Gutsell will be in action for Southern B against Mt Somers in their curtain-raiser final tomorrow afternoon. Fortunately, the Ellis story is not overly unique in Mid Canterbury rugby circles, as the district’s clubs’ rich history and traditions continue to be upheld and passed on through the generations.

Marshall preparing for ‘helluva match’ By CampBell Burnes James Marshall would rather be in the Hurricanes’ shoes than the travel-weary Chiefs, but he is not banking on the travel being the decisive factor in tomorrow’s enticing semi-final showdown at Wellington’s Cake Tin. “[Sleeping in your bed] is nice. “It’s definitely an advantage, but it’s not the advantage,” said the 27-year-old Hurricanes fullback. “I don’t think it affects you on

game day, but it obviously affects your preparation a bit. You’re on a shorter week. “You’re tired up until the Thursday and Friday, but once you get to the game, it doesn’t really affect you.” The Chiefs arrived back in New Zealand only on Tuesday and should they upset the Hurricanes and the Lions beat the Highlanders, they will face another long, unappetising haul back to the Republic for the final.

Marshall’s preparation will be uncomplicated, as the Hurricanes put the finishing touches on their plan to beat the Chiefs. “It’ll be the same stuff: We’ll try and repeat exactly what we did last week and hope we get exactly the same results.” There are, of course, three variables: the weather, which turned ugly last Saturday; the refereeing (Australian Angus Gardner has the job); and the Chiefs, who were rampant in their 60-

21 dismantling of the Stormers, though three late tries blew out the scoreline. “I’m definitely excited. I watched that Chiefs-Stormers on the weekend, and the Chiefs looked awfully impressive. I thought we played pretty well too, so it should be a helluva match”. Last Saturday, Marshall made 12 carries, which highlights his work-rate. He will be missed when he departs for London Irish in the near future. - NZME

New Crusaders coach Scott Robertson has moved quickly to replaced departing wing Nemani Nadolo by signing former Wallaby Digby Ioane. Ioane, 31, is Robertson’s first signing after taking over from Todd Blackadder following the team’s Super Rugby quarter-final defeat last weekend. Ioane, who has played 86 Super rugby matches and 35 tests, has signed a two-year deal. After leaving the Reds in 2013, Ioane played two seasons with Stade Francais and is about to have his second season with the Honda Heat in Japan. - NZME

Hayne still open to rugby Jarryd Hayne remains open to a move to rugby union and, if the former NRL star and NFL player does shift to the 15-a-side game, he could line up against the Wallabies within months of doing so. Manager Wayne Beavis said his client was still interested in playing rugby. One major sticking point is the fact Hayne can’t play for the Wallabies as he has played sevens for Fiji. That prevents the ARU topping up his contract with any Super franchise. But a possible Test against Fiji next year, that could come just matches into Hayne’s rugby career, would provide a marketing dream for the ARU. - AAP

Giteau yet to arrive The Wallabies are still waiting for veteran playmaker Matt Giteau to join their ranks as they build toward their opening Rugby Championship Test next month. All of the other main overseas-based stars who missed the recent series with England are back home, including backs Drew Mitchell, Will Genia, Quade Cooper and Adam AshleyCooper. Around 40 players are currently training in Sydney, with coach Michael Cheika expected to cull that to around 30 by the end of next week. The 33-year-old Giteau has played 102 tests. - AAP

■ RUGBY

Chiefs’ injury clouds clear The reinforcements have arrived at the perfect time for the Chiefs, with Sam Cane, Seta Tamanivalu and Michael Leitch all set to feature in tomorrow’s semi-final against the Hurricanes. Cane and Tamanivalu have been confirmed in the run-on XV after being under injury clouds earlier in the week, while Leitch will return from the bench after two months on the sidelines. The No 8 broke his thumb in May and was always aiming to be back late in the playoffs, providing his team progressed that far. The veteran will add both quality and experience to a youthful loose forward group, led once again by Cane. The co-captain was disappointed to have been withdrawn at half-time in the Chiefs’ big quarter-final victory over the Stormers last weekend but, having passed concussion protocols, he will set up an intriguing personal battle against Ardie Savea.

Tamanivalu, meanwhile, missed the trip to Cape Town with a knee injury but will again link with Anton Lienert-Brown in the midfield, one of only two changes to the team who romped to a record win. The other comes at halfback where Tawera Kerr-Barlow has been preferred to Brad Weber, potentially in a nod to the former’s defensive prowess in a match-up with TJ Perenara. Chiefs team to play Hurricanes at Westpac Stadium on Saturday night: Damian McKenzie, Sam McNicol, Seta Tamanivalu, Anton LienertBrown, James Lowe, Aaron Cruden (c), Tawera Kerr-Barlow, Tom Sanders, Sam Cane (c), Taleni Seu, Brodie Retallick, Dominic Bird, Atu Moli, Nathan Harris, Kane Hames. Reserves: Hika Elliot, Siegfried Fisi’ihoi, Mitchell Graham, Lachlan Boshier, Michael Leitch, Brad Weber, Toni Pulu, Shaun Stevenson. - NZME

Put aside, for a moment, the Dane Coles saga. The Hurricanes’ skipper and hooker has firmed his chances of playing after running at training yesterday, but the result of this crucial semi-final hinges on the outcome of some juicy matchups across the park, which should have the All Blacks coaches licking their lips in anticipation. It starts in the low numbers, as all rugby games hinge on the contest there. Chiefs tighthead prop Atu Moli faces down his fellow Tongan mate from Waikato, Loni Uhila, who has kept his spot as Reggie Goodes remains on the sidelines after concussion. Kane Hames is an under-rated

scrummager who will give Ben May much to ponder. The Chiefs scrum is muchimproved from the April match, which ended in Golden Oldies, amidst much gnashing of teeth. May and Uhila are not frontliners, but did the job to admirable effect against the Sharks. It is hard to look past the Ardie Savea-Sam Cane openside contest as being instructional and perhaps pivotal. Savea is a better tackler than he is given credit for, while Cane is turning into a combative warrior, and he has shrugged off concussion against the Stormers to take his place on the side of the Chiefs’ scrum. Cory Jane will have his hands full on the wing with James Lowe, while Willis Halaholo and Matt Proctor will test the sometimes

frail defensive capabilities of All Black Seta Tamanivalu. But most interest will come in the halves. Beauden Barrett was off training with a cold yesterday but he and TJ Perenara, the latter coming off one his best matches as a pro, are as influential for the Hurricanes as Coles. Aaron Cruden has played well since the June test window, and his partnership with Brad Weber is bearing fruit, but Tawera Kerr-Barlow appeals as the sort of muscular No 9 more likely to keep Perenara quiet in his sniping around the fringes. Cruden will take the ball up flat and look to put runners into holes, but can his kicking game match that of Barrett, who had the ball on a string in

appalling conditions last Saturday night? Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd said he foresaw no scrum dramas this time. “Their scrummaging has improved significantly since then, so I don’t think there’ll be any Golden Oldies,” says Boyd. “We’ve looked at the last half dozen games with the Chiefs and they are playing slightly differently, and so are we. “If you give the Chiefs half a chance on the crumbs that get spilt, they will punish you for it, so our ability to scramble on defence will be crucial.” Around 25,000 tickets had been sold as of yesterday, and, with decent weather forecast, the semi-final is on track to top 30,000, as it should. - NZME

The United States have famously been Olympic rugby champions since winning gold in the 15-man game in 1924 but one of a string southern hemisphere sides look set to strike that anomaly from the record books when Sevens makes its debut in Rio. While Sevens might have the look of a high octane, soupedup version of the 15-man game purpose-built for the era of the attention deficient, its origins go back to 1883 and it has a history and culture all of its own. At the heart of that history is the pace, power and skill of the Fijians, 16-time winners of the iconic Hong Kong Sevens and World Series champions for the last two years. They head to Brazil as bookmakers’ favourites to win the first men’s rugby title in 92 years and secure for the Pacific island nation a maiden Olympic medal. As in the 15-man game which they dominate, New Zealand also have a glorious sevens tradition and the All Blacks are likely to be there or thereabouts when the medals are decided. Sonny Bill Williams, twice a World Cup winner with New Zealand in the longer format, is one of the few high-profile test players who have managed to make the transition to the lung-busting exertions of the 14-minute game. South Africa, with speedster Seabelo Senatla on the wing, and Australia are also strong contenders. It will be a women’s team who will claim the first Olympic sevens rugby gold, however, as their August 6-8 competition precedes that of the men at the Deodoro Stadium. Regardless of who walks away with the medals, though, the biggest winners in Rio should be World Rugby, for whom the Olympics is a gilt-edged opportunity to spread the game beyond the handful of nations that constitute its heartland. - NZME

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): More than one highpriority concern demands attention, and you can get to each one before the day is over. Make a list and persist until all items are checked off. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Wanting the same thing as your equally matched opposition? This can’t end well, even if you win. Like two atoms seek to occupy the same space, the result is cataclysmic. Do consider wanting something else. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Backing out may not seem heroic, but if it’s the thing that will make your life better, smoother and more peaceful, do it. Remove yourself from the situation; seek sanctuary. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): It may seem, from your current vantage, that any place is better than the one in which you stand. It’s not true, but you should move anyway, if only to get into a new position. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): There’s no chance the day will be boring. Part of the fun will include snappy banter with an attractive someone. If you keep this up you could accidentally fall in love. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Even the most exciting people get bored of their own stories and skins. Being around the people who love you will help you see yourself with the adoring eyes they see you with. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The dangers of being overwhelmed are just as real as they are unnecessary. You will handle everything you need to. Start easy and make a list of the harder things. You’ll deal with those when you’re in a stronger position. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Owning too much makes you feel cumbersome and disorganised. You can upgrade by downsizing. Tonight, if you’re in the mood to experience the mysteriously exciting side of love, it will be there for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Sometimes life happens to you, but mostly it happens from you. Even though you’re not always in charge, it’s empowering to see your life as a series of choices. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Turn off your selfcensorship for a few hours while you brainstorm how to improve your personal life. There are no wrong answers. Ideas won’t hurt you. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Morale is higher when everyone on the team feels powerful. If it seems someone has too much control while others have none, there will be problems. Seek balance. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Your thoughtfulness, combined with generous spirit and refusal to deal in pettiness, inspires love. Someone is getting used to this and will soon be spoiled if you keep it up.

Sport Curry a bargain buy Steph Curry may have claimed his second consecutive MVP after leading the Warriors to an NBA record 73 wins in the regular season, and broken his own mark for threepointers, and is recognised as one of the best players ever, but when you consider what he’ll be paid by Golden State to play next season it doesn’t seem that way. The league’s leading scorer will earn just over $12 million next season making him the 79th highest paid player in the NBA. Portland shooting guard Allen Crabbe (who??) averaged 10.3 points per game last season. He’ll be paid $18.5 million by the Trail Blazers.

Luisetti Seeds Watters Cup ﬁnal: Southern v Rakaia, Ashburton Showgrounds Oval, 2.45pm.

Kane – ‘I’m privileged’

Forward clash key BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Defending champions Rakaia will be out to retain the Luisetti Seeds Watters Cup for a fourth successive year when they face Southern in the competition’s 90th final tomorrow. The Ashburton Showgrounds will host two of the Watters Cup’s most successful teams in recent times in a tie that has all the makings of a thriller. If the first decade of this century belonged to Southern – with Watters Cup triumphs in 2001, 03, 05, 06 (shared with Celtic), 07 and 09, then the second has certainly been Rakaia’s following last year’s three-peat. A victory for Rakaia would mark the first time a team has lifted the coveted cup four successive times since Celtic’s dominate spell from 1997 to 2000. Rakaia were Mid Canterbury’s highest finishing team in this year’s Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Competition in fourth

spot, while Southern finished in a forgettable 13th. But what makes tomorrow’s encounter even more intriguing, is the two sides’ head-to-head results. Rakaia and Southern first met on a dismal Thursday night at Hinds in May. On paper, Rakaia deserved the favourites tag heading into the clash. But Southern took little notice of the form book as their forwards took charge for a 21-13 victory. The two teams next met in Rakaia three weeks ago, where the home side failed to contain Southern’s outstanding rolling maul as Michael Ellis’ men steamrolled to 42-34 victory. But, when knockout rugby comes along, Rakaia seem to slip into a higher gear. The reigning champion’s demolition job of Celtic in last Saturday’s semi-final will have raised a few eyebrows among

the watching Southern faithful. Rakaia’s swashbuckling backline had too much on the day. At times, wing Seta Korotimana and centre Maleli Sau, looked unplayable and will pose a major threat to Southern’s title winning aspirations tomorrow. But skipper Eric Duff is well aware of Rakaia’s attacking prowess, and is confident that Southern will topple the holders again. “We’re keen to rap into it – we know what we’ve got to do and we know how we’re going to do it,” he said. “We’ll stick to what has worked for us, but we’ve got to make our tackles across the board – they’re dangerous.” Rakaia captain Andrew Letham believes previous results this season will have no effect on his players’ confidence, but insisted Southern’s forward pack must be contained. “We’re not taking anything away from Southern, but on the

day when we played them we were poor, so we’ll need to put in a stronger performance,” he said. “We’ll have to deal with their forward pack and driving maul close to the line – we’ll have to match them upfront.” Southern: Aaron Chudleigh, Angus McKenzie, Johnny Watherston, Joel Hewson, Logan Bonnington, Eric Duff, Jon Dampney, Scott Vessey, Will McKenzie, Richard Fridd, Ryan Williams, Hamish McCulloch, Liam O’Sullivan, Ollie Sapsford, James Hastings. Replacements: Brad Tarbotton, Adam Williamson, James Carr, Will Vient, Lee Stackhouse, Nick Gait, Vaughan Matheson. Rakaia: Luke Leosoki, Tom Heywood, Ese Fakafuka, Cameron Letham, Codey Nordquist, Jackson Donlan, Isaiah Renata, Ritchie Williams, Corey Sinclair, Andrew Letham, Richard Burns, Nete Caucau, Maleki Sau, Setarika Korotimana, Timoni Nabakeke. Replacements: Cawte Whiting, Josh Walker, Lepani Setavia, Mark Andrew, Logan Flett, Tom Blyth, Harry Ashworth.

Kane Williamson became New Zealand’s 29th test captain overnight in the first match against Zimbabwe at Bulawayo – but insists he hasn’t given it much thought. He follows Brendon McCullum, who retired in February. Williamson is leading New Zealand in all three forms of the game and is relishing the prospect. ‘’We’ve been so consumed with our preparation that I haven’t thought too much about it,” Williamson, the world’s No 3-ranked batsman said. ‘’It’s an exciting opportunity and I’m privileged to get the opportunity.”

Rio Pokemon-free Olympians who are hoping to chase Pokemon as well as medals in Rio will be disappointed to find out that the athletes village is Pokemon-free. French slalom canoeist Matthieu Peche revealed the Pokemonshortage on Twitter after arriving at the village. The internet has gone mad for the Pokemon Go game which, through a smartphone app, allows players to capture, battle, train and trade virtual Pokemon who appear through the real world. Many athletes have been caught up in the craze including Nick Kyrgios.
