■ RANGE USERS ASSOCIATION

Butts builders hit a wall; expert help, machines needed

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

All that stands between the closed and open signs on Ashburton’s rifle range is some earthmoving machinery and a few men keen to play adult Lego.

The range has been closed for more than a year while new butts were built and over the months a large amount of work has been undertaken and thousands of dollars have been spent.

The Range Users Association has now hit a wall, president John Snowdon said, where it’s used up its cash and feels it’s also used up its store of donated labour.

“We now need the experts to help stack up some blocks; it’s a bit like Lego, but they’re onetonne blocks,” Mr Snowdon said.

The range was closed in April last year because of safety concerns around bullets richocheting off the earth butts onto the nearby riverside walking and cycling track. Since then a huge amount of work has been undertaken by club members, volunteers, contractor Greg Donaldson and surveyor David Smith.

“We reckon there’s about $15,000 worth of earthworks left

to do and we need hiabs and a crane to stack the blocks. We can’t do it ourselves; we need the experts to help,” Mr Snowden said.

Users have been asked to chase up mates and machines and one success has already been logged with Bradfords coming on board, but more men and machines are needed to complete the work.

The association covers two deerstalkers’ clubs and the Ashburton District Rifle Club but the old butts were well used by casual shooters as well.

New safety regulations, however mean that while shooters will still be able to use the butts on a casual basis, a safety officer will need to be on site during that time, Mr Snowden said.

“We’re at the point where it’s not just a working bee that’s needed, it’s skilled people. The reopening is happening, we just need a bit of help in the final stage.

“This is a community sports asset and we just need a little bit of help from the community to finish it.”

When it’s completed, the new butts will be 8 metres high by 17 metres wide; all up the project is anticipated to cost $100,000.

Members of the Ashburton Range Users Association (from left), John Fleming, John Snowden, Murray Cook and John Miller need help from volunteers with big machines to complete the butts rebuild that will see Ashburton’s rifle range reopen.

■ BUNG THE BORE

Group makes plea for legal fees

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s Bung the Bore community action group has gone to the public to help fund a legal battle to force the cancellation of a water consent granted for land in Ashburton’s business park.

The group is working with fundraiser Give a Little in an effort to raise the $90,000 it needs to cover legal costs as it fights to have the consent canned.

The total cost of the legal challenge is double this but the remaining money had been gifted to the cause, said Bung the Bore

founder Jen Branje.

Within 24 hours of launching the appeal, more than $1000 had been pledged.

Bung the Bore was established after the council announced its plans to sell Lot 9 in the business estate to a company that planned to bottle water.

Since then the action group has been fighting to have the consent on the lot cancelled.

After a time extension given to the purchaser to finalise the deal, the sale fell over last month because some conditions the council imposed had not been

met. Prior to this Bung the Bore had made a presentation to the council asking it to cancel the deal. It also presented a national, 40,000 signature petition.

With the water bottling company out of the picture, the council had to decide the future of the water consent and at its meeting on Thursday councillors decided it would remain.

After the October local body elections, the new council could make its own decision on the consent, councillors decided.

For the action group that was disappointing, but not surpris-

ing, Ms Branje said.

The group’s solicitor had earlier delivered a letter to the council asking it to cancel the consent and the council’s refusal to do this meant the group had only one course of action, she said.

“We expect to file before the end of September and this will go to the High Court.”

It appeared the council had other deals on the table, Ms Branje said but whether or not a buyer was found, the legal challenge would go ahead.

“At this point, it would be pret-

ty silly for someone to buy that land expecting there was a consent,” she said.

The Lot 9 consent had elevated concerns over water to a national level and that was why Environment Canterbury needed to be held to account for the processes it had in place around consents, Ms Branje said.

“They’re completely inadequate. Water is such a broad subject and this has grown so many heads.”

The Lot 9 consent granted in 2011 will lapse in 2019 if it is not activated.

Suspected case of strangles

BY MICHELLE NELSON

MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A Mid Canterbury racing stable is in voluntary lockdown due to a suspected outbreak of strangles.

NZ Thoroughbred Racing was notified of the development earlier this week, and posted the information of its website on Thursday.

The unnamed licensee has voluntarily quarantined their stable as per the voluntary code of strangles control, as advised to equine sectors by the NZ Equine Health Association.

The extent of the suspected outbreak of the highly contagious equine disease is not known but it is understood to be confined to one property at this point.

NZ Thoroughbred Racing and the NZ Equine Health Association have been in liaison in response to the suspected diagnosis, and have assured that the horses and property are under the control and observation of an equine veterinarian, and that full movement controls have been in place since symptoms were first apparent.

A nine-card race meeting at the

Ashburton racecourse today will go ahead as scheduled.

All horse owners should be vigilant in checking the health of horses and maintain sound biosecurity practices.

The bacterial infection can hit unvaccinated horses and ponies of all ages but younger animals are particularly susceptible. Individual animals can carry the bacteria without symptoms for several years.

Clinical symptoms appear three to 14 days after exposure and characteristically involve the sudden onset of fever and loss of appetite followed by swelling of the glands under the jaw which can become abscessed and burst.

The accompanying watery nasal discharge soon becomes thick and yellow.

An infected horse will often hold its head low with the nose poked forward to relieve discomfort.

Veterinary treatment should be sought immediately if strangles is suspected. Vaccination against the infection is recommended.

LOCAL BODY ELECTIONS 2016

The executive board of the Ashburton Federation of Women’s Institute dressed up in their poshest frocks for this year’s quizco and cup day.

Police have named the man killed in Thursday night’s Waihi mine accident.

He was Tipiwai Stainton from Western Bay of Plenty.

Family members yesterday paid tribute to the 29-year-old.

Kate Gardam posted a poignant message on Facebook yesterday saying the tragic accident had left the whanau with an overwhelming sense of grief.

Once the day is over, the Women’s Institute is donating the baby booties to the maternity ward at Ashburton Hospital.

The afternoon was dedicated to the quizco, with this year’s theme being ‘Let’s have a party’ and the executive board were dressed up to the nines.

“It’s just a great day for everyone to get together,” Mrs Lister said.

“Tradegy has hit our little whanau. We lost our darling Tip to a mining accident last night.

“We are all feeling very shocked and overwhelmed at the moment as we try to come to terms with what has happened.

“There are no words to express the sadness we feel,” she wrote.

Stainton’s partner Ana-Lee

Hemopo updated a photo of the couple on her Facebook page.

Another friend said Stainton had worked in the mine for more than seven years and knew “every aspect of the place”.

He was regarded as a “great guy” as well as being a keen hunter and fisherman.

His long-term partner Hemopo was said to be heartbroken.

Students lucky

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE

Exchange ‘life-changing’ Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Chihiro Toida has a soft spot for Ashburton College.

The Japanese woman teaches English at Tokorozawa-Kita High School and says an exchange trip to Ashburton 13 years ago helped her decide what she wanted to do in life.

Ms Toida is back at Ashburton College this week with 30 Tokorozawa students, about to experience a slice of Kiwi living.

It is a special occasion and this year’s trip marks the 20th anniversary of the relationship between the two schools. Principal Mr Tonegawa is part of the visiting group along with teacher Kikuchi Atsushi, who is visiting Ashburton for the seventh time.

Ms Toida said the college had changed little since she visited 13 years ago; she returned after

her initial 12-day visit with the Tokorozawa group to study at the college for three months. When she returned to Japan, she trained as a teacher.

“When I came here I had a very good experience, and that has made me who I am today.”

She said she had told the 30 students on this year’s tour to be positive and motivated and “try everything”.

The 30 students are staying with 30 Ashburton families, who will absorb them into their daily lives and activities.

The group will have day trips to Tekapo and Lincoln University and attend some classes at Ashburton College.

The touring party was welcomed to the college yesterday with a powhiri, before students headed off for a morning tea then their first classes.

Police investigating the deadly collapse of the Canterbury Television building in the February 2011 earthquake will next week excavate the disaster site to examine the soil and foundations.

The south wall foundation and parts of the north wall foundation on the site where the six-storey Christchurch office block once stood are the latest focus for the complex technical criminal investigation which is yet to establish whether anyone will be charged with the building’s pancake collapse, which claimed 115 lives.

■ HORSES’ BIRTHDAY

Pony receives birthday present check over Ashburton equine dentist Glenn Beeman delivered an early birthday present to a pony currently resident with the SPCA’s Christchurch branch yesterday.

August 1 is nationally recognised as the horses’ birthday in the Southern Hemisphere.

The date was initially put in place by the racing industry but in recent years has been more widely adopted within the equine community.

Dr Beeman’s Mountainview Equine practice has got on board with the Presents for Ponies charity, which operates through the Equine Dental Vets group across New Zealand and Australia with the intention of giving back to the community by offering free services for special horses.

“We do it as part of preventative health care for Riding for Disabled ponies or neglected horses as our way of giving back to the industry,” he said.

Yesterday’s lucky recipient received a dental check, a hoof trim and a carrot to help him celebrate his special day.

Without a cash injection, Business Mid Canterbury (BMC) could become an unwitting victim of the Ashburton District Council’s decision to cease funding Grow Mid Canterbury.

The organisation’s annual meeting was looming and on the table would be the question, could the entity survive without the administrative support that organisation provided, board member Jeremy Adamson told councillors at Thursday’s council meeting.

The council pulled the pin on the organisation it had established to steer the district’s economic development after a

damning report on its activities by an independent consultant.

That saw GMC cease business but it also meant BMC lost its administration service.

“We have a separate board to Grow Mid Canterbury and essentially they’ve just provided administration support. Our fees fund activities that support our members. Since they’ve ceased to exist we have a critical gap; board members don’t have the capacity to keep BMC running,” Mr Adamson said.

He asked the council to provide stop-gap funding until the council’s economic strategy was developed and decisions were made on how this would be delivered.

Councillor Alan Totty was keen to see the council use some of the money it would have granted Grow Mid Canterbury to support BMC. “In a way we’ve been indirectly funding BMC through GMC for these services. It’s just a continuation of this and BMC is very much needed in this district,” he said.

“I’d hate to throw the baby out with the bathwater now we’ve stopped funding GMC. I’d hate to see us stop funding BMC in the process. When our economic strategy is developed we’ll have a clearer idea how we’ll fund BMC.” Mayor Angus McKay agreed.

“This offers assurance that the programmes and initiatives al-

ready scheduled will continue,” he said.

In its proposal BMC put three options to the council – stop-gap administrative support, a larger support packages or an option where BMC would assist the council with delivering economic growth initiatives.

The council is currently working with economic development agencies to establish a new economic strategy.

Once this is developed the council will decide how and by who this is delivered.

In the interim, councillors agreed to provide BMC with funding on a month by month basis to ensure it could remain in business.

Ashburton women are being offered a free self-defence workshop though Safer Ashburton.

Safer Ashburton have been given funding from Advance Ashburton to run a number of workshops and self-defence is the second one.

Anna Arrowsmith, of Safer Ashburton, said they want to offer the workshop to women who live alone, or single mothers who may have concerns about their safety.

She said Talbot Security Group are providing the training.

The workshop runs between 11am to 3.30pm on Thursday, August 4 and lunch will be required.

Mrs Arrowsmith said it will be split into two parts, with the first part being dedicated to the mindset the second part being dedicated to the actual physical act of self-defence.

She said the first is just as important, if not more important than learning the physical side.

“If your mind isn’t set to defend yourself you’ll never be able to do it,” she said.

There is room for 20 people to take part and any woman who is interested should contact Safer Ashburton.

Mrs Arrowsmith said they are also looking into the possibility of a workshop for younger girls.

Pregnant and in stolen car A pregnant woman has been taken to hospital after the stolen car she was in crashed while fleeing from police.

The car crashed into two others on Roscommon Road in South Auckland yesterday morning.

A police spokeswoman said no one was injured but a pregnant woman who was in the stolen car had been taken to Middlemore Hospital for a precautionary check.

Tourism important for local economy A

fter a slow and challenging start to the ski season we have been fortunate to see a substantial increase in numbers on Mt Hutt.

James Urquhart, General Manager - Operations said “We have had record numbers on the mountain so far this season, with a significant increase in the Australian ski market. Methven is buzzing with families so the Kids4free campaign has been a huge success.”

Methven Travel has seen a 104 per cent increase in The Ski Bus services from Methven to the Mt Hutt Base and a huge 67 per cent increase on last year with skiers from Christchurch.

Naturally you would expect to see increased numbers this year with Mt Hutt’s early bird season pass initiative, however numbers suggest the day passes are driving the lift in numbers which is incremental revenue for the mountain.

Here’s hoping the weather gods play their part in supporting our winter activities driving more income into the region’s community.

Statistics New Zealand has released its final data set for tourism expenditure for the

Bruce Moffat

ON MID CANTY

year ending March 2015 and the numbers are eye watering.

• Total tourism expenditure reached $29.9 billion in the year to March 2015, a staggering $82 million per day.

• Tourism is one of New Zealand’s biggest export industries, contributing $11.8 billion or 17.4 per cent of New Zealand’s foreign exchange earnings.

• Domestic tourism expenditure is worth $18.1 billion • International tourism expenditure is worth $11.8 billion • Visitors generated $2.5 billion in GST revenue Source: Tourism Satellite Account – Statistics New Zealand To put these numbers into perspective I have included other export sector industry earnings over the same period:

Fruit $1.8 billion - up 13.6 per cent Wood and wood products $4.6 billion - down 10.1 per cent Meat and meat products $6.2 billion - up 12.8 per cent Dairy $14.2 billion - down 10.9 per cent The tourism earnings for the year to March 2016 is estimated to be $32.5 billion which equates to $89 million per day.

So as an industry we are well on our way to meet our 2025 $41 billion goal!

Whilst the Mid Canterbury region is enjoying the financial rewards from both inbound

and domestic tourism, I’m very concerned about the state of retail in the district. In the commercial area bordering East Street, Havelock Street, Burnett Street, Tancred Street and Moore Street in Ashburton there are 17 disused sites.

If we carry on with this type of downturn our visitors to the district will have nowhere to spend their well-earned travel fund and they will simply bypass the district and spend it elsewhere.

I’m not sure what the key drivers are in terms of the downturn.

Is it the cost of rent, increased online purchasing, carparking

costs or are the big brands taking control?

Whatever the answer is we need to address the issue as soon as possible or we become another small town New Zealand failure.

Methven, on the other hand, is really striving ahead and becoming a boutique shopping space.

Conveniently positioned alongside the prestigious new Lochlea Lifestyle Resort, Radius Millstream enjoys a quiet and scenic location, while being close to all the amenities and conveniences of Ashburton and the wider area.

One of Ashburton’s former pie makers struck gold at the 2016 Bakels Pie Awards.

Jason Danielson’s winning pie, a broccoli, pumpkin and carrot flavoured creation, was entered in the vegetarian category.

Mr Danielson got his start in the pie making world when he got a job at Sims’ Bakery about 25 years ago.

“I was playing golf in Ashburton and I applied for a job at Sims’ Bakery. I got it and I’ve been baking ever since,” he said.

Mr Danielson now works at The Bakery Wholesale in Wanaka and said the idea for his gold medal-winning pie came from experimenting with different fillings.

“I made a white sauce and put some pumpkin in it and it was good so I added some different vegetables and it was really good,” he said.

Mr Danielson said the win was good for him and for business at The Bakery Wholesale.

He also acknowledged his competition and said they are all very dedicated to the art of pie making.

Not only did Mr Danielson enter the vegetarian category, he also entered the steak and gravy category.

“We came eighth out of 500 entries in the steak category, which is a really good result,” he said.

Mr Danielson said one of the keys to a great pie is the pastry.

“We had a test run the day before to perfect the flakiness of the pastry.

“On the day we had to ship the pie off, we were up at one in the morning and worked until we had to send it.

“It took us eight hours to get it right,” he said.’

Hannah’s jet-setting li Ashburton teenager Hannah Wakelin is your typical Kiwi kid, but her life is anything but ordinary.

She talks to reporter Sue Newman about life as a student in an American arts academy.

H

annah Wakelin is living her dream.

She spends most of her life thousands of miles away from mum and dad and her school friends, but when you’re doing what you love, those sacrifices are worth it, the Ashburton teenager says.

Last year Hannah won a scholarship to the Idyllwild Arts Academy in California after competing in the World Championships of Performing Arts in Hollywood.

She was up against the best young dancers from around the world but managed to come home with a clutch of medals and the offer of a scholarship to the American academy.

The Wakelin family spent sleepless nights deciding whether or not 14-year-old Hannah should accept, but parents Joanne and Craig knew that the same opportunity may never come again.

One year down the track they know that decision was the right one.

Back home in Ashburton for the American summer break, Hannah says picking up her old life was easy. When she returned to Ashburton College for the last two weeks of the school term it felt as though she’d never been away.

The past year has been one of huge adjustments and huge challenges, but, most of all, huge rewards, she said.

Leaving home was tough, but with dad Craig travelling with her, the transition from Kiwi kid to American dance student was a whole lot easier, Hannah said.

Life at the academy is definitely not a holiday – academic classes start at 8am and run until lunch time. Dance starts at 2pm and runs until 6.30pm, rehearsal from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. And then there’s homework.

Hannah is studying ballet, jazz, modern and tap and continues to sit dance exams. She was thrilled to be awarded an honours pass last year.

“It’s really competitive but not in a bad way. We’re still really good friends and we encourage and push each other. It’s not like Dance Moms,” she said.

While there is a strong focus on dance, it is made very clear to the

students that academic classes are equally important, Hannah said.

“The school is adamant the students have to keep all doors open, academically as well as dance.”

The academy is hard work and while a number of students drop out during the year or do not return for the new year, Hannah has never wanted to leave.

“I’ve never thought I don’t want to go back, it’s more how do I get back. It’s a big financial sacrifice for my family for me to do this.”

Hannah’s scholarship covers a large slice of the $US68,000 that’s needed for tuition and board, but the Wakelin family is left to fill the gaps. For Hannah that means holiday work and chasing funding grants.

During her three months at home, the routine that comes with dance training continues. She works out each day in her home studio, ensures she does plenty of stretching to keep her limbs supple and has returned to teacher Charmaine Quaid’s classes.

“It’s really important I don’t lose anything while I’m here,” she said.

Three months is a long time to be away from what is now her world and Hannah admits she’s looking forward to the new school year.

“I’m pretty excited about going back. I’ve been away long enough to start missing dance classes.”

This year she’ll be flying solo but there’s a trip home planned over the three-week Christmas break.

She has one more month to enjoy a laidback life in New Zealand before heading back to school, this time as a boarder. Dad will be on the flight back but once Hannah is settled into her hostel he’ll be heading home.

She’s part of an international student body and counts her friends in countries.

Living with dad last year, however, meant Hannah has managed to spend a year in America and still sound like a Kiwi, but sometimes that Kiwiness has created problems.

“Sometimes I’ve had to put on an American accent though so people can understand me.”

She knows when she returns there will be things she’ll continue to miss about home.

“My family, the laidbackness and everyone with the same accent – and oh, the food. Their dairy and stuff, it’s just not the same, but I’ve been lucky, I’ve had normal food when dad’s been cooking.”

In the new school year Hannah will be eating hostel and cafeteria food. While students in other arts disciplines tend to put on what’s called the “freshman 15 (15lbs in weight), dancers don’t”.

As she starts the second year of her four-year course, Hannah’s goals remain simple and unchanged – keep learning and one day become a dancer on Broadway. She’s not abandoning her academic options, however, and said if dancing isn’t her future, medicine might be.

Talent might have launched her on her career path, but she knows that talent alone won’t be enough.

Making it is all down to sheer hard work, she said.

Making it in the world of dance is hard. Even getting on the first rung of that ladder through the world championships was tough and involved hours of work.

“But you can’t just sit there. You have to want it, really want it,” Hannah said.

That her career may be in dance rather than a more traditional career is fine with mum and dad.

“Her brains are not going anywhere. You can go to university at any age, with dance you have to give it a shot,” Joanne said.

The past year has been tough with Hannah and Craig living in the States and Joanne and Ben in New Zealand, but Skype has

helped bridge that gap. Craig also returned home for two months and Joanne and Ben travelled to the States for Christmas.

“We’ve tried to treat this as an adventure because we didn’t really know where it would lead to,” Joanne said.

“The goodbyes are always hard, but you’re so happy for them to be doing what they want.”

Chris Clark, CEO of Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drugs Service.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 260716-TM-0049

Acads provides more than you think A

shburton Community Alcohol and Drugs Service (Acads) has provided nearly three decades of support to the community.

The organisation was established by a group of community members when they saw Ashburton lacked an alcohol and drugs service.

Chris Clark, CEO and founding member of Acads, said a lot of hard work by a lot of people went into getting it to where it is today.

While initially established as a part-time service, the organisation grew throughout the years as it was needed.

Acads is unique in that it provides a number of free services to the community on both a public and clinical level, under the same umbrella.

The Ministry of Health provides their funding for the public programmes, while the Canterbury District Health Board provides funding for the clinical side.

They also receive funding from local groups like Rotary.

The public service involves the population and wider community by running safety and education programmes.

The clinical service runs on a personal level, offering counselling, personal addiction services and help with alcohol and drugs in the workplace.

For nearly three decades Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drugs Service has provided free and confidential addiction, counselling and education services, read more to find out about some of the programmes they provide. Colin Engelbrecht reports.

Some of the services offered through the clinical section include outpatient counselling, a recidivist drink driver’s course, meditation and mindfulness and a men’s group.

“We provide an outpatient service which is free to anyone in our community,” Ms Clark said.

When someone calls with concerns about their own drinking or that of a friend or family member they are put into contact with a trained counsellor.

The counsellor will set up a one-on-one appointment where questions can be answered and people can discuss outpatient services.

Acads will also refer people to other services like budget advisory, housing or nutritionists.

The goal is to look at the bigger picture of someone’s lifestyle to determine what might be causing an addiction.

Alcohol was the main substance patients struggled with, she said, people also come in with issues relating to cannabis

use as well as methamphetamine. “Meth is growing, but it’s certainly not causing as many problems as alcohol,” she said.

Alcohol addictions have wideranging issues in people’s lives, including creating problems in their jobs. Ms Clark said there’s no one age or demographic most affected.

The organisation runs a recidivist drink driver’s programme, which is a five-week course run four times a year to try and work through underlying problems drink drivers have.

The programme sees people who have been referred to it through the justice system for repeat offences.

It works through teaching people about alcohol and how it affects people, as well as trying to find what drink-driving triggers may be.

Ms Clark said not every person through the course is an alcoholic and a big factor in drink driving is people failing to plan ahead.

She said sometimes people would go out and not plan how they would get home, leading to them making the choice to drink and drive.

The last course had seven participants, which Ms Clark said was quite high.

Acads also provides a service to young people who are dealing with an alcohol addiction.

Ms Clark said often young people refer themselves to the service, although parents, schools and other services like CYF can refer as well.

She said often young people run into issues with alcohol when they get isolated and are unable to talk to friends about issues they might have.

However, she said, the number of youth they see with drinking issues is very small and Ashburton was no different to the rest of the country.

She said they were seeing the amount of alcohol youth are consuming go down.

Meditation and mindfulness

and the men’s group are both new courses to Acads, with one men’s group being run previously.

The men’s group runs in conjunction with probation services and takes a number of men and focuses on alcohol, drugs and anger issues.

Ms Clark said the first group was a trial run and received good feedback from participants.

There are nine men signed up for the next one.

The meditation and mindfulness programme ran last year with good results and Ms Clark said it’s a way for community members to de-stress.

The programme is open to anyone who wishes to come, not just for people seeking other addiction services.

She said it teaches people skills to unwind and relax in a busy life.

People can join the programme by calling Acads and signing up.

The current programme which started last week is full, but there is a waiting list for the next round.

■ UNITED STATES

‘He wants to divide us’ US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton says Americans faced challenges at home and abroad that demand steady leadership and a collective spirit, and attacked Republican Donald Trump for sowing fear and divisiveness.

In the biggest speech of her more than 25-year-old career in the public eye, Clinton accepted the Democratic presidential nomination for the November 8 election yesterday with a promise to make the US a country that worked for everyone.

“We are clear-eyed about what our country is up against.

But we are not afraid,” she said.

She presented a sharply more upbeat view of the country than the dark vision Trump offered at last week’s Republican convention, and even turned one of Republican hero Ronald Reagan’s signature phrases against the real estate developer.

“He’s taken the Republican Party a long way, from ‘Morning in America’ to ‘Midnight in America’,” Clinton said. “He wants to divide us - from the rest of the world, and from each

The car was suspended almost vertically on guy wires attached to a utility pole. Police say 30-year-old Nabila Altahan passed her intended destination and the GPS gave sudden directions to turn around. Neither Altahan nor her passenger was injured.

The speech was Clinton’s turn in the spotlight after three days of electrifying appearances by President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and

first lady Michelle Obama.

Clinton said it would be her “primary mission” to create more opportunities and more good jobs with rising wages, and to confront stark choices in battling determined enemies and “threats and turbulence”

around the world and at home.

“America is once again at a moment of reckoning. Powerful forces are threatening to pull us apart. Bonds of trust and respect are fraying,” said Clinton, a former secretary of state.

An ideal business hub The purpose-built Ashburton Business Estate is located just minutes from Ashburton’s town centre and has direct access onto State Highway 1 from both north and south.

This development is a compelling option for a range of businesses, from those looking to expand to those wanting to come into the district.

New businesses will also find this Ashburton District Council-owned development appealing.

Ashburton is just a one-hour drive south of Christchurch, making this development an attractive business location option due to its relative proximity to other areas in the central and southern South Island.

Opened by Prime Minister John Key in 2011, the Ashburton Business Estate is a two-stage development with 26 of the 41 sections in Stage One either sold, under contract or under negotiation.

Colin Windleborn, Ashburton District Council’s commercial manager, says companies that have already established themselves at the Ashburton Business Estate are

Opportunities abound at business estate Mid Canterbury’s Rural Transport Limited is thriving at its base near the Ashburton Business Estate.

The company bought a five-hectare block on Northpark Road in 2006, ensuring there would be plenty of space for its growing enterprise.

Rural Transport Limited opened at the site in 2014. Facilities include a 560 square-metre office block, 3000 square-metre freight depot and warehouse with a 1200-square-metre canopy, and seven bulk grain storage silos.

General Manager Jim Crouchley said the new location had enabled the company to piggy back on the advantages the business estate offered.

“Though we’re on the wrong side of the railway line to be part of the business estate, we’re close enough to take some benefit from the development in the area,” Mr Crouchley said.

The wider green-space feel of the business estate area provided a handsome backdrop to the company’s headquarters. The site was highly accessible and located within minutes of the rural hub of Ashburton, just

off State Highway 1. The area allowed for the company’s potential future growth.

The Ashburton facility is the hub for the company’s freight activities, which services rural clients and transports around the South Island. Rural Transport, which also has branch depots at Kurow and Fairlie, offers commercial storage in its silos and warehouse at the site.

“The new location had enabled the company to piggy back on the advantages the business estate offered” Rural Transport has strong ties to the Ashburton area. It evolved from a transport heritage stretching back more than eight decades, linked through a chain of sales and acquisitions to Burnett’s Transport, formerly a major operator in the Canterbury region. The company’s former long-term premises were on South Street in Ashburton.

The company was established in 2004 as a new corporate entity, after Methven transport leader Philip Wareing and others bought out Owens Group’s rural transport operations.

Accessbility key to EA Mid Canterbury power cooperative EA Networks is benefittng from its relocation to the Ashburton Business Estate.

Commercial manager Jeremy Adamson said moving to the estate in 2012 had enabled the organisation to continue growing and become more efficient in its daily operations.

previous site at Kermode Street and relocating enabled the company to bring its entire operation to a single site.

EA Networks owns Mid Canterbury’s power distribution network and much of the district’s rural fibre optic network.

It operates a successful contracting business and is the cornerstone investor in Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation.

It is a co-operative company owned by its customers with strong ties to its

“We had a blank canvas to work from, which allowed us to design something specific to our needs”

The result was three purpose-built office and operations buildings, as well as a large storage compound, laid out across a spacious site totalling 3.6 hectares.

EA Networks had been rapidly outgrowing its

community, not only focusng on power distribution, fibre communications and irrigation infrastructure, but also supporting community projects like the new sporting facility in Ashburton – the EA Networks Centre.

Mr Adamson said for such a large enterprise - with about 40 vehicles, including heavy trucks, and 110 staff accessibility had been a major consideration. The Ashburton Business Estate site’s four main entryways – two from State Highway 1, one from Bremners Road and one from Company Road – had proved to be a real advantage.

And operating from the area, just a few kilometres north of Ashburton, had not only created efficiencies, but it had taken the EA Networks vehicle traffic out of the town centre reducing traffic issues in the busy retail area.

Additionally, staff and customers had enjoyed the spacious and picturesque setting.

“It’s a great environment to be based for work. The council has done a fantastic job in terms of landscaping and making it attractive, not to mention highly functional.”

Val’s coach to miss Rio Olympics

No room for McKenzie

By GreGor Paul He sneaked into the All Blacks squad for the June internationals but Damian McKenzie might be squeezed out for the Rugby Championship.

The All Blacks will name their 32-man Rugby Championship squad on Monday and McKenzie, possibly along with Seta Tamanivalu, might be two casualties from June.

Should he miss out, it will be a relatively harsh blow for McKenzie who set the early rounds

of Super Rugby alight with his dynamic running and lack of inhibition.

He was picked for the June series, more with a view to give the All Blacks coaches the opportunity to refine some of his rough edges and to get him used to the behind-the-scenes demands of international rugby.

While he didn’t play a test, he’s been a different player since he returned to Super Rugby: more patient and accurate while not stifling his natural tendencies.

Ideally, the All Blacks would

like to keep him with them to continue his development and to possibly give him game time.

But the All Blacks will run with three halfbacks for the Rugby Championship and that leaves one less place to accommodate the rest of the backs. McKenzie is the most likely sacrifice the selectors will have to make to carry three specialist No 9s.

The other possibilities would be to scale back from five props to four – but that’s high risk if there is a late injury at a foreign venue and therefore unlikely.

The returning Sonny Bill Williams will be named in place of the still injured Charlie Ngatai and it would be a surprise if George Moala was not retained after his impressive performance at centre against Wales.

Julian Savea, despite his continued difficulties finding his form on the field, is expected to hold his place, with the coaching staff still of the view he’s not so far away from bursting into life and playing the sort of football for which he is renowned.

A knee injury will see Valerie Adams’ coach Jean-Pierre Egger miss the Olympic Games.

Egger, Adams’ mentor since November 2010, suffered a fall.

The state of the 73-year-old’s knee worsened during travel to the Monaco Diamond League, an event Adams won with a throw of 20.05m to beat key rivals Christina Schwanitz of Germany and American Michelle Carter.

Surgery was required and the rehabilitation and risks associated with travel curtailed his journey to Rio. “I’m gutted JP can’t be there with me and it’s disappointing for him,” Adams said.

“But I’m in great form and really looking forward to competition day [August 12], as is JP and the rest of the team.

“The bus continues on the Team Adams journey.”

Together the pair have been working on strategies to ensure the double Olympic champion’s form continues.

Adams threw a season’s best 20.19m in Budapest shortly after Monaco and remains in contention to become the first New Zealander to win gold medals at three consecutive Olympics.

Physiotherapist Lou Johnson, who has worked with Adams for 16 years, will accompany Adams to the Games.

However, the fact Egger earned Adams’ trust has been crucial to her success, especially through a spate of injuries and surgeries.

“He’s like a father to me. I love the man,” Adams said after winning a record fourth world championship in 2013.

That was no throwaway line.

Egger has welcomed Adams into his family when she’s been in Switzerland to ease the homesickness she once endured. His wife Beatrice and Valerie – Egger never shortens it to Val – have become friends.

It was evident after the London Olympic Games, too, when drugs cheat Nadzeya Ostapchuk was dethroned.

Adams went straight to Egger’s house. When Beatrice opened the door she exclaimed “we won, we won the gold medal” between joyful sobs.

Then Egger appeared and it was mutual bear-hug time.

In brief Record for Wagner Neil Wagner’s career-best test figures propelled New Zealand to a dominant position on the opening day of the first test against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo yesterday. However the tourists’ will feel they dropped the ball after having the hosts’ a parlous 72 for eight, after they had chosen to bat in favourable conditions.

Zimbabwe were all out for 164 with New Zealand 32 for none at stumps. The aggressive left armer Wagner took six for 41 off 20.5 overs, his third bag of five or more wickets in a test innings. - NZME

Mendis saves Sri Lanka Cometh the hour, cometh Kusal. A stunning maiden Test century from 21-year-old Kusal Mendis has lifted Sri Lanka out of a huge hole and given them the ascendancy over Australia in the first Test in Kandy.

When bad light stopped the third day’s play early, Sri Lanka were 6-282 in their second innings, earning them a 196-run lead in a formidable turnaround after being blasted out on day one for just 117. Sri Lanka were in strife at 2-6 when Mendis walked out: he’d only made eight in the first innings, and Mendis had only one first-class century to his name. Undaunted, he produced a brilliant knock of 169 not out.

Pursuing gold

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Hinds cyclist Lauren Ellis heads to Rio with the rest of the New Zealand Olympic cycling team on Monday, with gold on the radar.

The team has been training in Bordeaux, France; Ellis and the other members of the women’s team pursuit have been sweating hard on the track.

“It’s been purely track training,” she said.

“We’re doing some final finetuning and it’s been going really well.”

The 27-year-old is injury free and fighting fit heading to the Olympics after leaving New Zealand on June 1 for training blocks in the United States and Belgium before the Bordeaux leg.

Ellis said the focus of the Pittsburg leg was road training, while in Belgium, based out of Oudenarde, it was a combination of road and track training.

She said Oudenarde was a special training venue and a chance to ride routes made famous by cycling’s Tour of Flanders.

“Training has been going well.

“Everyone is training hard and we’ve been setting PBs (personal bests) on this campaign.”

Ellis is part of a women’s endurance group that also includes Waikato trio Rushlee Buchanan, Jaime Nielsen and Racquel Sheath, and Auckland’s Georgia Williams.

The New Zealand team heads to Portugal tomorrow then flies to Rio the next day.

Ellis is in for a busy time and she will not attend the opening ceremony – it is too taxing for an athlete who will need every ounce of energy come competition time.

The pursuit team is in action first on August 12 (7.19am NZ time) when qualifying races begin.

On August 16 and 17 (NZ time) she will contest the women’s omnium, a six-race event including an individual pursuit, a 10km scratch race, time trial and points race.

The Rio Olympic Velodrome is in Barra Olympic Park and promises fast times.

Ellis, who also attended the London Olympics four years ago, said she had no worries about security and village life, issues being highlighted as athletes move into the Rio accommodation early.

“We are in a little bubble in the village and we are quite safe.

“I don’t think any of us will venture anywhere else though, we will stick together.”

She said the cycling team would have a week in the village after their track campaign ended and she hoped to source tickets to watch other Kiwis in action.

She knows her parents Megan and Brian will be amongst the crowds watching, but says high security means they may not even get a chance to talk.

There will be plenty of time for that after the games though, when she returns to home for sinus surgery and some rest and recuperation in Mid Canterbury.

A Sri Lankan judge has jailed for one week an Australian cricket fan who ran naked onto the field during the first test match between Sri Lanka and Australia.

The man ran onto the covered field when play had been interrupted by rain. Police later arrested him and a judge ordered him to pay a fine of 3,00 rupees ($20) and spend a week in jail.

Ricciardo wants rain Daniel Ricciardo isn’t expecting to win a Formula One race any time soon – unless it rains. The Red Bull driver had a strong showing at last weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix, qualifying and finishing in third behind Mercedes frontrunners Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. It was just his second podium of the season after May’s second placing in Monaco. But the Australian doesn’t foresee another challenge for victory until at least September. “Probably a wet race is our only real opportunity on an even playing field.”

“I was dropped to reserve grade a few times and that gives you an understanding and an empathy for the players that are going through it,” said the Tigers coach.

Triples produce top bowls

By James Ford

The combined team of Michael Lawson, Jim Stewart and Helen Rennie were victorious at the Methven Indoor Bowls Open triples held at the McNally Sta-

dium on Thursday evening.

Twenty-one teams, representing nine clubs, were in action on a highly competitive evening that hosted a number of the district’s best players.

The Wakanui team of John

Cuthbertson, Kevin Smith and Peter Gilford produced a fine display and narrowly finished in second place following a countback of games.

Secretary of the Methven Club, Martin Nordqvist, said the level

of bowls on show and turnout was pleasing.

“It was a very good turnout, exactly the same entries as 12 months ago – which is great,” he said.

“It shows good support of the Methven Bowling Club.”

Deja vu for long-suffering Warriors fans By michael Burgess Here we go again.

The Warriors are in a bit of a hole – and it’s hard not to avoid that sinking feeling.

Around this time of year, most Warriors fans have to take a deep breath; like persistent winter rain and high electricity bills, the Auckland club have become infamous for their late-season slides.

In each of the last four years the Warriors have looked on track for the playoffs, sometimes even top-four possibilities.

But it hasn’t transpired, and they’ve hurtled out of contention like an out-of-control skier.

To add to the nerves, the Warriors face the Panthers today, against whom they have suffered season-defining defeats in each of the last four years.

So are the Warriors on the edge of a similar abyss in 2016, after losing three of their last four games while their rivals have been on an upward trajectory?

“I wouldn’t say we are in a

hole,” said Thomas Leuluai.

“We are playing well [and] performing better compared to a few months ago but there are still areas that need to be improved.

“The things we need to fix aren’t major things, but they definitely need to be fixed.”

Leuluai has grounds for comparison, having witnessed three late-season slumps since he returned to the club.

In 2013, after a nightmare start, the Warriors salvaged their season with seven wins in eight matches and were labelled premiership contenders.

But then they dropped three consecutive matches and slumped to 11th.

Late in the following year they were nestled in the top six but contrived to lose three of their last four games – including a limp final-round defeat at Penrith – which meant they missed the playoffs on points differential.

Shaun Johnson’s injury was the catalyst for chaos last year, as they sunk without trace in the fi-

Thomas Leuluai nal third of the season, including hidings at the hands of the Dragons, Tigers and Cowboys.

“It feels different this year,” said Leuluai. “People will have their own opinions but we are playing some good football, just probably not for long enough periods.

“It’s not like we are playing bad football against bad teams.”

The psychological and emotional impact of the last month is the vital unknown.

The Warriors have been close,

desperately close, but have suffered an unprecedented three golden point defeats in four games.

“It’s been tough and you tend to feel sorry for yourself,” said Leuluai. “But we have had tougher times this year and we have come through them. It’s been a hard couple of weeks but nothing compared to what we went through earlier this year.”

And that might be the key.

This team looks more resilient than the Warriors of the last few years, and they haven’t been on the wrong end of a heavy scoreline in more than two months.

They’ve had a comparatively good run with injuries and look fitter than past Warriors outfits.

And while they are still prone to concentration lapses and conceding soft tries, the Auckland side showed steel to retrieve deficits against the Sharks, Sea Eagles and Raiders.

It feels like all the ingredients are there to defy the history of the last four years – they just have to find the recipe.

Broncos ‘need a lift’ Brisbane’s NRL premiership campaign isn’t over yet, coach Wayne Bennett insists, but he knows the slump-hit Broncos have precious little time to turn things around.

The Broncos crashed to their seventh loss in nine games to the Roosters on Thursday night, after a flying start to the season that had many pencilling them in for their second successive grand final appearance. But with five regular season games remaining supercoach Bennett believe they can still find some momentum heading into September.

Younger Folau returns The younger brother of Wallaby star Israel Folau is poised to make his return to the NRL in Parramatta’s NRL clash against the Wests Tigers. Eels coach Brad Arthur confirmed youngster John Folau will make his season debut in place of suspended centre Manu Ma’u. It is the first time Folau will be sighted in the NRL since round 14 last year, and will also be just his second game back since returning from a broken hand.

Knights re-sign King Newcastle have extended the contract of rookie Josh King for one more NRL season, keeping him at the Knights until the end of 2018. King, 21, saw fit to re-sign with the club after making his debut in round seven and playing eight games. He has been named to make his first career start in tomorrow’s clash against Manly.

Coach Nathan Brown said he was keen to develop King, a local junior, as the Knights continue their long rebuild. “Josh is a good person with a great work ethic,” Brown said. “Over the journey he will continue to develop into a player that other players want to play with.” The Knights still have plenty of work to do for next year’s roster following the departure of Tariq Sims to St George mid-season, and the retirement of veteran Jeremy Smith at the end of the year. - AAP

Vital win for Hampstead

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The penultimate night of the Mid Canterbury premier netball grade’s trophy round produced wins for Methven, Celtic and Hampstead at the EA Networks Centre Stadium on Thursday.

Hampstead 31 Ashburton College 22 Hampstead recorded their second win of the trophy round and it could prove pivotal in the teams’ eventual standings after next week’s final round robin matches.

College were without goal attack Georgina Kelly, who picked up an ankle injury on representative duty, and lost goal keep Sala Bueta to a calf complaint early on.

Hampstead and College were all-square at 8-8 after a tightly contested opening 10 minutes, but a sterling second quarter saw Cindy Meadow’s ladies take a commanding 17-12 lead into half-time as College’s simple errors were punished.

The school girls played with more urgency in the third stanza, but Hampstead continued to dictate the pace and outscored College 7-5.

It was much of the same from Hampstead in the final quarter, who put up another seven goals to secure a well-earned win.

There was a brief break in play in the fourth quarter after Col-

lege’s Meg Witterick suffered a head knock in the dying moments.

Coach Ange Mitchell said the wing defence’s recovery will be monitored.

College will take some positives from the tie, though.

Molly Stapleton returned to action following knee surgery and brought plenty of energy to the first half at wing defence.

Mitchell called for more intensity in College’s upcoming games against Rangiora in the SuperNet competition and Celtic in their next premier grade outing.

“We have been slow to fire again after the holiday break, so we’ll be looking for more intensity and determination in next week’s games,” she said.

Hampstead coach Cindy Meadows said her side were rusty in places, but was pleased with the second half display after allowing College to draw level early on.

“At the break we refocused and the second quarter saw the team execute a strong whole team performance, from which we continued to build through the next half,” she said.

“Our strengths were our through-court defence, composure and team play – which I thought was some of the best of our season.”

Methven 33 United 23 Methven added another vic-

tory to their impressive haul after seeing off United 33-23.

The reigning champions were just two ahead of United after the first quarter, but a clinical display in the second stanza pushed their lead out to 17-10 at half-time.

United showed plenty of determination to reduce the deficit to five at three-quarter time as Methven held a 23-18 advantage.

Greta Currie’s team have a habit of upping their intensity in the final 10 minutes, and Thursday’s clash was no different as Methven put another 10 on the board.

Currie was pleased to have Sally Williams and Leanne Clemens back in the black singlet after being unavailable for the round’s earlier matches.

“The second and fourth quarters really came together, (we’ve) still a lot to work on – we were a bit relaxed with our passing at times which let United in,” she said. “The whole team are really standing out, we are lucky to have a great team rather than a few individuals out there doing the job.”

Karla Newlands was at the helm of United in Anne Gilbert’s absence and credited her players for a fine team effort, despite a dip in the final 10 minutes.

“I think United actually played really well for three quarters,” she said.

“Not such a great finish, the difference was some basic errors

from United and goal percentage.”

Celtic 28 Southern 16 Southern got off to a blistering start against Celtic and held a 6-1 lead early on before the greens reined them in.

Celtic led 19-10 at the half, but were put under pressure by Southern, and Ange Leadley’s defence had to produce a fine effort to gain their 28-16 win.

Leadley credited Southern for their gutsy effort, and Celtic will now turn their attention to Ashburton College next Thursday.

“Southern played a very intensive defensive game, covering the ball well. We were made to work really hard on attack, and I was pleased with how our girls responded,” she said.

Southern co-coach Jodene Lowe insisted that failed opportunities under the hoop proved costly in the end, despite a competitive display in all other areas.

“Once again we are competing in every aspect of the game apart from our shooting, and had more than enough ball which our defence or mid-court secured for us time after time,” she said.

“We can practice and practice things we want to do on a Thursday, but goals win games and we aren’t getting ours in.”

Premier two: Allenton A 24 Celtic Green 23, Ashburton College B 35 Celtic B 35, Rakaia A 37 Hampstead U18 27.

A cheeky Romelda Aiken has described NSW Swifts enforcer Sharni Layton as “all talk” and reckons the Queensland Firebirds should have no problem dealing with her intrusive ways if they stick to coach Roselee Jenckee’s blueprint in tomorrow’s trans-Tasman grand final.

Jamaican Aiken will renew her rivalry with Diamonds goal keeper Layton, last year’s finals series MVP and a self-described on-court mongrel whose motormouth ways seem to infuriate her opponents as much as they motivate her teammates.

It is the third time Hunt has fought an opponent who has subsequently tested positive for drugs.

That is unacceptable to Hunt, who is contracted to the UFC for five more fights but doubts he will see them.

Complementary rivals

BY KRIS SHANNON Two changes to the Chiefs team for tonight’s semi-final were straightforward – the fit-again Sam Cane and Seta Tamanivalu were always going to earn selection.

But the third and final alteration is where the intrigue lies ahead of the clash against the Hurricanes in Wellington, with Tawera Kerr-Barlow replacing Brad Weber in the No 9 jersey.

The two 25-year-olds have, when healthy, split the minutes at halfback this season.

Removing Kerr-Barlow’s injury-related absences and they have each made five starts in the 10 games in which they’ve both been available.

Weber ran on in the quarterfinal victory over the Stormers, Kerr-Barlow earned the nod in the previous week’s pivotal defeat to the Highlanders.

So, in a pure meritocracy like professional sport, why has the job been so evenly shared?

Aside from the fact both are exceptional players, counting among the top four halfbacks in the country, the coaches’ preference can indicate what kind of plan they are trying to implement.

Last week, against the Stormers, the Chiefs wanted to stretch their physically-imposing opponents, aiming for a high-tempo game with an emphasis on width to unlock the South Africans’ defence.

So they opted for Weber, a smaller man who excels in speed to the ruck and support play, and he lit the fuse under his side’s explosive attack as they romped to a record win.

This week, against the Hurricanes, the Chiefs are anticipating

Weber will likely still prove his own importance given how Rennie has switched between the players in search for an altered approach – in the 10 matches featuring both men the substitute’s average cameo length has been 21 minutes.

But even knowing he might have the chance to change the course of the semi-final, with his speed potentially crucial against a tiring defence, Weber acknowledged it was difficult to share the jersey he wanted to own.

“I understand it, because we’re two different players,” he said.

“It’s a little bit of horses for courses type of mentality, in terms of what kind of game plan or what they want out of the halfback that week.

“I’m sure Tawera would tell you the same thing – it can be tough at times in terms of consistency but I think we complement each other and it’s working really well.”

- NZME

TEAMS Tawera Kerr-Barlow’s style gives him the edge over Brad Weber for tonight’s semi-final clash with the Hurricanes. a tighter game in score and style, and want a player who thrives in sniping around the fringes and snuffing out the same strategy from the opposition.

So they chose Kerr-Barlow, who has about 15 kilograms and 15 centimetres on his rival, and uses that frame to dominate the edges on both sides of the ball.

His selection – aided by a forecasted wet evening at Westpac Stadium – pointed to the Chiefs not abandoning their expansive attack but perhaps restricting some of their enterprise in defer-

ence to both the Hurricanes and the weather.

“We’re pretty lucky that we have a couple of great options,” said coach Dave Rennie.

“They both pass well and kick well but there are slight differences, and we felt Tawera’s physicality and the strength of his defensive game was going to be really important.

“There’s likely to be fairly average weather in the weekend and it could be a bit of a battle of attrition around the fringes, so we felt Tawera would be important for us.”

Chiefs: Damian McKenzie, Sam McNicol, Seta Tamanivalu, Anton Lienert-Brown, 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.

■ OPINION

Rugby is the winner this weekend I t’s a huge weekend for rugby, including locally when the Watters Cup is up for grabs at the showgrounds this afternoon.

Rakaia and Southern are set to do battle in a competition that has been fascinating despite the tiny numbers of contenders.

In the lead-up to today’s final Southern beat Rakaia, Celtic beat Southern and Rakaia beat Celtic to leave the board even, but Rakaia thumped Celtic in the semi-final to seal a final berth against Southern, who had the better points differential.

While the Southern spies (and there were plenty!) at the CelticRakaia game wouldn’t actually have learned much they didn’t already know about the strengths of the Rakaia team, if any Rakaia scouts had been at Mayfield a couple of weeks ago, they may have garnered plenty of ammunition for their cause.

Celtic held out the formi-

dable Southern rolling maul for long periods in that game, and while only winning with a last-minute try, they blew three other try-scoring opportunities, and should have actually won comfortably.

That same rolling maul was the downfall of Rakaia in the previous game, and their brains trust should have been taking copious notes from both games and working feverishly on the counters to it.

Whistleman Kevin Opele may have to be at his eagle-eyed best to sort out a part of the game that’s going to be massively influential – if the boys in dark blue can do enough to negate the Southern men’s big weapon, then their outside backs just might put quite a few ticks in the ‘try’ column.

On the bigger stage, the Highlanders are in South Africa to take on the Lions, while the

Chiefs and the Hurricanes battle it out at the Cake Tin. Many fans and a few commentators already have the Highlanders in the final; that would be a very premature conclusion indeed.

While the Lions are on top care of mainly playing non-New Zealand teams, they can only play what’s in front of them and they’ve put the points on the board, lots of them.

And they’re at home, and home is Emirates Airlines Park in Johannesburg, known to most rugby types as Ellis Park, a daunting place for any team to

visit, at any time, let alone a vital semi-final.

There’s the tough travel schedule, the altitude – and the fact that these two teams have alternated their results in the last eight matches, and it’s the Lions’ turn.

The Chiefs-Hurricanes one is even more interesting.

Which Canes team will turn up?

In theory, with the firepower available to them over the past 20 years they should have a couple of Super Rugby trophies on the wall, but they haven’t.

If Dane Coles takes the field, and Beauden Barrett continues his red-hot form (and Julian Savea comes off the bench in the right frame of mind), they might just get on top of a Chiefs side bristling with current and future All Blacks.

What price a lazy $10 on a Rakaia-Lions-Hurricanes multi at the TAB this weekend?

In brief Lions lose skipper Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph is describing Lions captain Warren Whiteley’s unavailability for their Super Rugby semi-final as a big loss. Ruan Ackermann will take Whiteley’s place at the back of the scrum tomorrow morning, after he was ruled out with a calf injury.

Joseph says it’s a major blow, but there are always injuries and what happens is the player that comes in steps up well. Jaco Kriel will captain the Lions in Whiteley’s absence.

Coles making the call It will ultimately be up to Dane Coles to make the final call on whether he plays in the semi-final.

The Hurricanes captain has been named to start against the Chiefs, but that depends on proving he has sufficiently recovered from a rib injury he picked up against the Sharks.

Given the importance of the game, the Hurricanes are willing to wait until late today before Coles’ fate is decided.

Tests going north Expect to see more Rugby Championship tests taking place on the other side of the world. Twickenham will host a Rugby Championship test for the first time in October when the Wallabies and Argentina finish their campaign in London.

Andy Marinos, the chief executive of SANZAR, said that a test in London could become a regular fixture. “We saw how positive the World Cup was in the UK and we feel our game is about taking it to as many supporters as possible,” Marinos said. “The style of play in the Rugby Championship is a very exportable commodity.”

More flair from Boks South Africa coach Allister Coetzee says he wants to change the way the Springboks play so they do not rely solely on brute force to win matches. Coetzee has indicated he will look to include more flair players in future squads and cited the example of the Lions and Stormers in this year’s Super Rugby competition as successful teams who attack with width.

“Lots of other international sides understand that they have to match South Africa’s physicality and we’ve got to be a bit smarter and more accurate now.” - Reuters

Crusader duo move on Todd Blackadder and Tabai Matson have confirmed their move to Bath.

Their final days in Christchurch will be spent raking over the coals of a Super Rugby campaign which promised much but ended in a disappointing quarter-final defeat before they leave for pre-season training at their new English club in a few weeks. Their impending departure could add bite to their review at the Crusaders, who were top of the New Zealand conference before the June break, before slipping to fourth. - NZME

No rugby for Hayne Australian Rugby Union boss Bill Pulver has officially closed the door on any chance of Jarryd Hayne playing in Super Rugby next year.

“That bird’s probably flown,” Pulver said. “The Waratahs roster was pretty well full, so I think that opportunity’s gone.”

Johnson looks to continue hot form “I’m cool!”

That’s the response to NZ Racing Desk’s final question, asking bubbly Cambridge jockey Danielle Johnson (right) whether she’d like to add anything else to the information she’s already volunteered through the course of an interview.

That kinda goes without saying, as the confident 25-year-old has certainly cut a svelte figure as she has climbed the pecking order of New Zealand jockeys over the past few seasons.

These days, Johnson ranks among our elite.

Johnson ended her season with four rides at an invitational female jockeys series in Sweden and while her four rides were all unplaced, the trip and subsequent few weeks travelling in England, France and Italy has her rejuvenated for the upcoming season.

- NZME

She has three Group One wins to her credit and her Karaka Million win aboard Xiong Feng at Ellerslie in January marked another successful year, albeit one marred by a nasty fall at Ellerslie in April, which stymied the latter part of her season.

OUR VIEW

Feline registration around the corner?

Sue Newman

CHIEF REPORTER

T

here would be few Kiwi households that don’t boast a family moggy or two.

Cats are as much a part of our households as the comfy couch and the television set.

They’re part of the furniture, a valued member of the family and something we take very much for granted.

In some parts of New Zealand, however, the day of the free-breeding moggy might be numbered.

Wellington is leading the charge with a bold plan to limit cat numbers to three per household along with a bylaw requiring all cats be microchipped.

The plan is well thought through and is seen as a way to control stray cat populations.

And few would argue with that.

We’ve all been victims of stray cats doing their business on our patch, slipping in through our cat’s cat door to steal food and making a tidy dinner out of native birds.

At face value there’s not a lot to argue with, providing the microchipping deal comes with a neutering requirement, and if this becomes a national initiative, it should only take a few years to get the country’s feline population under control.

But like dog control, it will ultimately rely on the willingness of cat owners to play by the rules.

The unpalatable side of the cat control project is that unless steps are taken to capture and dispose of wild cats nothing much will happen. They’ll continue to do the wild thing, producing litter after litter of kittens each year.

Wellington’s deal comes with the lofty ideal of catching those cats and giving them to the SPCA or some other animal welfare agency to rehome. Ask the SPCA how much chance they’ll have of doing that or of footing the bill if those cats are neutered and then released.

There’re no hints that Ashburton will go down the same path, but parts of the Wellington plan might be worth considering – microchipping, neutering and limiting numbers, in other words cat registration.

And as it is with dogs, registered breeders could apply to up the numbers allowed.

Local authorities around the country will be watching the Wellington exercise with interest; it could well pave the way for a cat-controlled future.

have banned hugging amongst children, the singing of Christmas carols and singing Baa Baa Black Sheep, because it contains the word black!

You know, I am struggling to understand why Australia exists, and then I am reminded that it was to take bread-swiping gangsters from the streets of London and hold them as prisoners.

Ironic that now a white nation founded on such low aspirations wants to send back naughty Kiwis and, of course, continues to turn back boat people.

I thought after 200 hundred years of managing prisoners they would be able to deal with the situation.

Now back to our voiceless children and the fine citizens

they will grow into. Now that they can’t cheer for someone, they could come up with a series of hand manoeuvres that express their feelings.

Problem is they will probably end up doing gang signs and start a turf war, or offend deaf people by signing something offensive.

How about the teachers sit them in chairs, bind them so they don’t fidget, and place hoods over their heads so they can’t make any noise.

The chairs could be on wheels so the teachers can place the students in any position in the hall so they don’t offend anyone or anything.

Hang on, they have already thought of that, it was happening

last year at the Don Dale Youth Detention Centre in Berrimah, Northern Territory.

They also hosed the boys down with cold water and tear-gassed them. That stopped them from fidgeting didn’t it!

Funny thing was the guards cheered and laughed as they dished out this torture – shame they hadn’t been taught at the Elanora Heights Public School.

They would have learnt how to clap in silence.

ussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi, oi!

Anyone who has had to endure this dreadful chant from our sunburnt green and gold cousins can now rejoice. In the future, they won’t be able to shout it out anymore, if a new school rule takes hold in their sun-dried rock at the end of the earth.

For a start that annoying chant they call out was stolen from us, we used to call it out in the 1980s at Teachers College. So just like they have tried to claim Crowded House, Lorde, pavlova and fairy bread, the typical Aussie brain is bereft of original ideas, apart from this one.

Welcome to the world of stupid thinking by Australians.

Elanora Public Heights School on Sydney’s Northern Beaches has banned clapping and introduced “silent cheering”, “pulling excited faces” and “punching the air” to respect students who are “sensitive to noise”.

So what happens is the students wait until a teacher signals they can cheer or clap, and they then perform a series of silent hand gestures similar to Marcel Marceau with a German wasp in his undies. Teachers are reporting back excitedly that this has already reduced fidgeting. Let’s face it, children should be seen and not heard.

What a crock of crap. This from a country that has state sanctioned torturing of teens, can’t elect a prime minister for more than two years and took Aboriginal children from their parents to make them white.

challenge? I believe that this question needs to be answered starting at a local level.

Violence can be a sign of how fragmented and fractured in general our communities have become and there is need for rebuilding community.

Organisations such as churches

in Ashburton have a role to play in rebuilding communities.

If we are to make peace and speak the truth, we need to do so in love and address the social challenge of family violence faced

by New Zealand as a nation.

The healing and rebuilding of our communities can happen when we intentionally address the problem of family violence.

Churches have a role to play, by creating spaces where truth is told in love, where we can lament community’s brokenness and repent of our complicity.

In rebuilding community, there is need for creative partnerships that will address the needs of our communities in general and the challenge of family violence in particular.

It is my hope that this will happen as neighbours get to know each other and all people remember that we are all precious, including the children, for we all bear the image of the Creator.

China tax hits Kiwi firms sales declines of up to 80 per cent in China. The share prices of a number of Australasian firms – including infant formula marketers A2 Milk and Bellamy’s and health supplements maker Blackmores – took a heavy hit in early April when the new e-commerce tax and other regulatory changes were announced.

Market concerns about a “positive list” of products allowed to enter China also contributed to the sell-off.

An A2 spokesman said it was in its media blackout period ahead of its annual result next month.

But the alternative milk firm last month upgraded guidance on the back of strong trading, forecasting full-year operating earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (ebitda) of $52m to $54m, up from a previous

A leaky Wellington primary school built as a prototype for more than $5 million less than 10 years ago is now costing nearly as much to repair. cladding manufacturers.

Confidential settlements were subsequently reached with Australian manufacturers James Hardie and CSR, but Carter Holt Harvey has fought to have most of the claim struck out.

The cladding was only one component of the buildings, its legal team has argued, and no damage or injury had materialised.

It also argued the proceedings were brought out of the 10-year limitation period set by the Building Act 2004.

The High Court declined to strike out the claim.

That decision was appealed to

the Court of Appeal, which dismissed the appeal save for one of the five claims.

At the same time the ministry cross-appealed the Court of Appeal decision that it couldn’t sue on the basis that Carter Holt negligently mis-stated claims about cladding.

In a unanimous judgment, the Supreme Court dismissed Carter Holt’s appeal, and awarded costs of about $45,000 to the ministry.

On the cross-appeal, the Supreme Court ruled the negligence claims were arguable and therefore could be included in legal action.

Record net migration has been putting pressure on the nation’s housing market where a shortage of supply has pushed up prices in Auckland and is spreading to surrounding regions.

A plan for Auckland housing released this week has proposed the city be more densely populated with a larger urban area and less prescriptive development rules, to help spur construction and ease the shortage.”

After relatively subdued growth over the first half of the year (particularly in Auckland), the number

of consents surged in June,” ASB Bank senior economist Jane Turner said in a note.

“In Auckland, increased consent issuance for townhouses and apartments led the charge highlighting Auckland’s housing shortage needs to be addressed with higher density solutions.”

In the June month, 12 of 16 regions recorded a rise in building consents issued compared with the year earlier month. Auckland led the increase, with an extra 217 consents, taking the total to 921.

Residential building rate highest in decade New Zealand residential building consents reached their highest annual total in more than a decade, driven by activity in Auckland and surrounding regions.

Seasonally adjusted consents increased 16 per cent to 29,097 in the year through June, the highest total for a June year since 2004 and the highest annual total since the April 2005 year, Statistics New Zealand said.

For the month of June, new home consents rose 16 per cent from May and 35 per cent from June last year, the agency said.

Leaky schools victory for Govt A huge legal claim against Carter Holt Harvey over hundreds of leaky school buildings can proceed, the Supreme Court has ruled.

Yesterday’s unanimous judgment is a major victory for the Ministry of Education.

It only clears the way for legal action that Carter Holt sought to have struck out – the fight over liability and any compensation is still to come.

That could act as a test case and result in other claims involving cladding companies.

Education Minister Hekia Parata said the ruling was a major victory for New Zealand taxpayers.

“This is the largest product liability claim ever made in New Zealand. Action was taken to protect the Crown’s significant investment in education infrastructure, and to promote better building practices in the future.”

The decision to go after cladding manufacturers, in addition to builders and architects, is unusual.

The ministry alleges Carter Holt’s cladding sheets and systems used in 880 school buildings were inherently defective.

It has estimated the cost of fixing leaky schools to $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion, and in 2013 launched a legal action against a number of

forecast of $45m to $49m.

At that time the company said it was well-placed to respond to changes in China’s regulatory environment.

A2 shares hit a record high of $2.61 on February 17, but concerns about Chinese regulation have weighed on the stock, which closed at $1.95 Thursday night.

Trilogy chief executive Angela Buglass said the company had not seen any impact on sales from the Chinese e-commerce tax changes.

Trilogy, whose shares have risen almost 10-fold in value over the past two years, estimates that 10 to 15 per cent of its sales in Australasia end up in China through various channels.

Comvita chief executive Scott Coulter also said the changes weren’t affecting the company’s overall sales.

Increased Chinese e-commerce regulation, including a new tax, is crimping demand in an increasingly important sales channel for many New Zealand manufacturers, says a major exporter.

Kevin Wang, managing director of Penrose-based Health Element, which sells Kiwi products including Comvita honey and the Trilogy skincare range directly to consumers in China, said his firm had seen a 20 to 30 per cent decline in sales over the past three months, compared with the first quarter of this year.

A new cross border e-commerce tax regime, which brought in an 11.9 per cent tax on parcels purchased online, was introduced by the

Chinese authorities on April 8.

The closing of the tax loophole has removed a competitive advantage previously enjoyed by foreign companies selling their wares in Asia’s biggest economy via internet-based platforms.

Wang, who told the Business Herald in February that his firm had annual revenue of around $30 million, said China’s cross-border online retail market had become more heavily regulated this year.

“It’s definitely having an impact,” he said, adding that seasonality had also contributed to Health Element’s recent sales downturn.

“It’s more restricted, which is resulting in a temporary sales decrease.”

Another source said other New Zealand-based cross border ecommerce ventures had seen

30/7 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): One connection leads to another. Soon you will find yourself moving in the circles you’ve wanted to be a part of for some time.

Also, you are coming into a lucky time for travel, and this weekend will be an auspicious time to book it.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): This is no time to worry about being well-rounded. Do what you do better than anyone else. Focus on your strengths and others around you will offset your weaknesses.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): If you had a time machine, maybe you would do it differently, but then you wouldn’t be the person you are. Considering the number of fans you have, you must be doing all right. Maybe you should let those regrets go.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The younger ones think you’re wrong, and the elders don’t see eye to eye with you, either. Maybe it is your job to disagree.

Every generation has a right to define its own era.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The one that got away will glisten in the mind’s eye with an unreal sparkle.

Pining for the missed opportunity is a poetic and unproductive use of time.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You feel stronger than yesterday. It’s like your life is suddenly infused with 10 percent more passion, and that 10 percent is all it takes to bump you into the realm of sweet success.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): As for the one you loved... well, you still do, after all this time. It’s definitely not something to keep to yourself. This is the stuff of life! Articulate and celebrate what’s in your heart.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Hip and trendy people help you out with what they know and so do the traditional and practical types. The more open you are to different ideas, the luckier you’ll be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ll be cautioned by those who were wronged, scammed or ripped off in some way. Listen to the warnings, take precautions and then resume thinking in your usual positive way.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): It isn’t what it was, and it’s not what it could be. You have a bona fide work in progress, and rest assured you will work it and progress it to the very best of your ability.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Those beautiful words you’re hearing are true. They might be difficult to live up to, and it might be a very long time before you taste the fruit of their promises, but you can rest assured that the words are not false.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Relationships are worth the big efforts. Get out of your element and share a brand-new place with a loved one. You’ll have a unique and unforgettable experience that’s just for the two of you.
