Man injured in vicious assault

By Matt MarkhaM

Matt.M@theguardian.co.nz

A vicious assault outside the Devon Tavern on Thursday night left a 45-year-old man in hospital with moderate injuries.

Police were called to the establishment on Victoria Street shortly before 10pm where a man was found to have been assaulted.

He was transported to hospital with moderate injuries.

In a statement to the Guardian yesterday, Sergeant Bryan Ennis said that four arrests had been made in relation to the assault.

“A 34-year-old man, a 36-yearold man, a 30-year-old man and a 37-year-old man have been

charged with injuring with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and are due to appear in the Ashburton District Court on the 30th of July.”

Due to the fact that the matter is now before the courts, police could offer no more comment on the incident.

A Canterbury District Health Board spokesperson said that the male transported to hospital was treated and then later discharged.

Early yesterday morning the outside of the Devon Tavern was cordoned off and manned by security and police.

The cordon was lifted midmorning.

■ MCDONALD STREET MURDER

Life sentence for 2016 murder Ashburton man Jayden Shane Alexander was sentenced to life imprisonment with an 11-year minimum non-parole period yesterday when he appeared in the High Court at Timaru for the murder of his brother in 2016.

Alexander was charged with murdering Tainui Wano by stabbing him at a McDonald Street address two years ago. He was found guilty after a second trial; a jury had been unable to reach a decision when the case was first tried in September last year.

Alexander stabbed Wano following a violent confrontation with a messy background of aggravation, drunkenness and tension.

Justice Nicholas Davidson said yesterday there had been nothing to suggest escalation to murder, or even violent assault with a

weapon, and what happened that night came out of the blue. Alexander killed his brother by a single stab to the chest with a knife.

The Crown conceded a sentence of life imprisonment without parole would be manifestly unjust because of Alexander’s age (25), the circumstances of the offending, and his remorse.

A cultural report was also prepared to help the court. It was suggested that Alexander, a father of three, needed alcohol and drug rehabilitation and that an introduction to his Maori heritage and whakapapa would be helpful.

An 11-year minimum term and three-strikes warning were given.

Justice Davidson said the trial in its brotherly and whanau setting had engendered strong emotions and great grief. He

lence when he drank alcohol. On the night of the murder, Wano had asked Alexander to quieten down and the pair later tussled in a small narrow hallway where the fatal wound occurred.

Others in the house and neighbours heard the confrontation and threats to kill. Wano died when a single stab to the upper central left chest perforated an artery.

The jury found the stabbing was intentional.

A probation officer’s report said Alexander began drinking alcohol and using cannabis at the age of seven and had appeared regularly in court since he was 14.

Justice Davidson said he had spent most of his life on the street or in prison and he was institutionalised. Alexander had been a victim and perpetrator of vio-

lence from a young age and had an extreme reliance on violence to resolve conflict.

“You have thus lived a life of very limited personal relationships, with few boundaries and I conclude you do not really know what a whanau is or means as you have not experienced it. You have kept to yourself, looked after yourself, because you believe no-one else would.”

Justice Davidson said Wano’s death had come out of nothing and did not have the characteristics of a prolonged attack of deliberate and calculated killing.

“This was a single knife wound, in an incident which lasted less than a minute.”

He told Alexander he would not be paroled, even after 11 years, if he had not reversed his substance abuse and propensity to violence.

commended whanau for their restraint, Alexander’s lawyers James Rapley and Paul Bradford for their sensitivity and the prosecution for its investigation and presentation of a case where there was little direct evidence of the allegation of murder.

He said a cultural report, seldom called for in court, was extremely helpful. It said Alexander had been placed into foster care since he was 18 months old with Pakeha families and separated from blood relatives; he had no connection to his Maori identity.

Filling that void could be a powerful motivation for change and a sense of direction, importance, belonging and worth, the report said.

SealesWinslow rebuild under way

By Colin WillisCroft

Colin.w@theguardian.Co.nz

Like a phoenix rising out of the ashes, the ribbon was cut on the rebuild and upgrade of the SealesWinslow Ashburton mill yesterday.

Just over six months after fire destroyed a large part of the bulk stockfood plant, chief operating officer Chris Brown welcomed some of the company’s customers, contractors, suppliers and team members, along with Ashburton District Mayor Donna Favel and Ballance Agri-Nutrients chief executive Mark Wynne, to a breakfast event to celebrate the $4 million redevelopment.

Favel told those present that it was to SealesWinslow’s credit that not only did they choose to rebuild, but that they took the opportunity to “refocus, recalibrate and move forward” by making improvements that will enable the mill’s output to be increased.

Wynne, representing SealesWinslow’s owner, Ballance Agri-Nutrients, said it was a real credit to the local community how it rallied around after the fire.

It was one of two Ashburton openings he took part in yesterday, as Ballance also opened a new fertiliser store at the Rooney’s site, which reflected its commitment to the district.

SealesWinslow South Island regional manager Tyler Stuthridge said everyone who worked at the mill was looking forward to the new plant getting up and running.

He said concrete was poured last week and steel work would start to go up within the next fortnight.

The rebuild includes eight new overhead silos, which will be in place by Christmas, Stuthridge said, along with an expanded product range.

The company had gone from a position of adversity to one where the business had been futureproofed, he said.

“Everything we’re doing is about making us a lean, mean, manufacturing machine.”

Brown paid special tribute to the team at the Ashburton plant for the way they dealt with an immense challenge after the December fire. “There was a lot of

uncertainty and they showed real courage to come through that adversity. I don’t think there’s anything they can’t achieve.”

He also thanked the fire crews from around Canterbury that fought the blaze.

“It’s down to them that we saved so much (of the plant)”.

The input of Peter May Ltd in aiding the aerodynamic fins of downhill skier, Tawny Wagstaff has earned them national recognition.

Ashburton firm ‘thrilled’ to win excellence award

BY MATT MARKHAM

MATT.M@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A local business has been nationally recognised for its input into helping a local athlete achieve maximum speed on the slopes.

Downhill ski racer, Tawny Wagstaff, benefited greatly from the work done by fabricators, Peter May Ltd, who assisted him with shaping aerodynamic fins to wear while competing on the international stage.

The business was recognised with the 2018 Award for Excellence which was presented by the Outdoor Fabric Products Associa-

tion of New Zealand.

Entered in the recreational category, entries came from all across New Zealand and reflected a wide range of work within the industry.

Judges chose their winners based on complexity, design, workmanship, uniqueness and function.

The task was an unusual one for Peter May Ltd and required many hours of work with Wagstaff to achieve the right fit to enable him to compete to his maximum potential.

Wagstaff’s chosen sport sees

him hurtling down the side of a snowy peak at upwards of 200km/h and has taken the 39-year-old stonemason from Methven all over the world.

Starting in January he competed in the world speed skiing circuit for three months reaching a maximum speed of 219km/h – finishing the world series in an impressive sixth place.

The work done by Peter May Ltd was of huge benefit to the cause, with Wagstaff lifting his personal best speed by 18km/h.

Peter May said the recognition was a testament to the work un-

dertaken by his team.

“It’s a huge thrill to receive the award at this year’s show,” he said.

“I have to thank my team for the many hours of work that went into completion.”

The award was presented at the Outdoor Fabric Products Association of New Zealand annual trade event last weekend.

As at result of the award, Peter May Ltd has been invited to enter the international competition of the Industrial Fabrics Association International and go up against other innovative concepts from around the world.

The award-winning broadcaster and journalist John Campbell is to join TVNZ in late September.

He’ll be working as a presenter and journalist across 1 NEWS programmes and platforms, says TVNZ’s head of news and current affairs John Gillespie. “I know John’s excited to be returning to TV – it’s where he’s in his element.”

Homicide inquiry Homicide police are talking to people connected to a Canterbury lifestyle block where a body was found on Thursday night.

Detectives rushed to the small farm at Jelfs Rd, Woodend Beach, on Thursday evening. The property remained cordoned off yesterday as detectives piece together what happened. Police are yet to release the name, age and gender of the dead person. Acting Detective Inspector Mark Worner told the Herald yesterday: “A number of people associated with the property are being spoken to as part of the ongoing inquiry.”

A couple and their children are believed to live at the address.

The owner of the property declined to comment when contacted yesterday.

Petting a lamb or touching snow for the first time could be among experiences that help grow tourism in Mid Canterbury.

Agricultural tourism, snow experiences on Mt Hutt and attracting motorhome owners were discussed by Ashburton District councillors this week on the back of a quarterly report by councilfunded Experience Mid Canterbury general manager Bruce Moffat.

Moffat said overall visitor spend from February to May this year was $177 million, up $6m.

Domestic visitors were the largest group, followed by tourists from Australia, then China.

Most tourists stayed just one night in Ashburton or Methven.

Moffat said EMC had met with 19 tourism operators in March and wanted to work collectively, selling packages from across the district. They also decided a key focus should be more digital marketing and social media.

He said Ashburton has some wonderful aspects, but no anchor attraction, like an agridome that offered agricultural experiences.

Mt Hutt has reintroduced snow experiences for tourists this year and hundreds are enjoying the chance to drive up the mountain and ride the chairlift to the top, without having to ski back down.

Moffat said EMC was also promoting the district to New Zea-

Mid Canterbury was also included in a new website initiative scenicroute72.co.nz which was designed to promote more visitors on to the Inland Scenic 72 highway.

He said EMC was also working on a campaign to grow the number of Chinese visitors, with an official Weibo account that would put photos of Mid Canterbury before 92 million Chinese people daily.

■ DOG REGISTRATIONS

July is dog registration month Dog registration month is about to begin and the Ashburton District Council is reminding local dog owners to make sure they register or re-register their pets and working dogs by the end of July.

Council environmental services chairperson councillor Peter Reveley says it was important owners registered their dogs on time as part of being a responsible owner, and to avoid late penalties.

“All dogs three months old and over must be registered with the council before the end of July, so don’t leave it to the last minute and risk being late.”

Those with the same registration details can re-register online using an up-to-date web browser at www.ashburtondc.govt.nz/dogregistration If registration details have changed, such as address, owner or the dog has passed away, simply email info@adc.govt.nz or call the council on 03 307 7700 and those changes can be made.

You can then register your pet online or visit the council office to register in person.

If dogs are not registered by July 31, late fees can apply. Infringement notices may be issued from September 1 if they remain unregistered.

After that time, the council may seize unregistered dogs from September 11.

Cr Reveley said seizing dogs was not a pleasant task.

“Please do the right thing and avoid these outcomes by registering your dogs this July.”

Top cop apologises to Louise Nicholas for comments Deputy Commissioner Wally Haumaha “unreservedly apologises” for the comments he made when Louise Nicholas publicly accused his police colleagues of rape.

The apology comes after a Herald investigation revealed Haumaha questioned why Louise Nicholas publicly accused his friends in the police of raping her in the 1980s and continued to support them after the scandal broke, according to interviews with fellow officers.

One officer told the 2004 Operation Austin investigation into the police sex allegations that Haumaha – who was appointed to the senior role by Police Minister Stuart Nash last month – described Nicholas’ allegations as “a nonsense” and that “nothing really happened and we have to stick together”.

Yesterday, Nash said he was unaware of Haumaha’s “deeply disappointing” and “unacceptable” comments before recommending his appointment to the statutory role of deputy commissioner.

Haumaha has declined requests for an interview.

But later, in a statement, he said acknowledged the “concerns expressed by Louise Nicholas and others” around my comments from 2004 regarding Operation Austin.

“It is important to say outright that I take responsibility for those comments, I deeply regret them, and I unreservedly apologise for the hurt and concern they have caused.

“That does not reflect my view or the values I bring to the job every day.

“In the 14 years since those comments, and particularly through the changes following the 2007 Commission of Inquiry, I have reflected deeply and often on what it means to live the values that New Zea-

Wally Haumaha landers rightly expect from their police.

“I recently met with Louise to assure her of my commitment to the work the organisation has done as a result of the Commission of Inquiry to improve our culture, and our service to victims of sexual assault.

“My previous association with those individuals does not reflect who I am now nor what the NZ Police stands for today.

“The culture of NZ Police has changed for the better in recent years as a result of the inquiry and an ongoing commitment to our values, but there is still more work to do.

“My focus is on working tirelessly in NZ Police to build the trust and confidence of our communities.”

The apology comes soon after Acting Prime Minister Winston Peters announced an “investigation” into whether the Government had all the information it needed before promoting Haumaha to deputy police commissioner.

Police National Headquarters are yet to answer what was disclosed to the State Services Commission, which managed the recruitment process.

■ PACIFIC TRADES PARTNERSHIP

Ara assesses tradespeople As part of a new initiative called the Pacific Trades Partnership (PTP), the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE) has contracted the Ara Institute of Canterbury to oversee skills assessments of tradespeople in the Pacific Islands.

This initiative follows off the back of an initial assessment pilot, which was trialled in 2016, to bring Pacific carpenters to New Zealand to assist with the Canterbury rebuild.

According to Dave Dixon, manager of Ara’s Centre for Assessment of Prior Learning (CAPL), “the initial project involved working with MBIE to assess the suitability of carpenters from Fiji, Tonga and Samoa, to work in the Canterbury rebuild”.

Ara’s CAPL, working with a team from the trades department, developed a series of criteria for evaluating the skills of potential workers, including English language ability, health and safety knowledge, experience, qualifications and equipment usage.

“Through CAPL we also conducted a skills assessment towards the award of the New Zealand Certificate in Carpentry (Level 4), and by the end of 2017 we were able to award the carpentry qualification to 23 of the 24 pilot programme participants.”

This time around, the focus of the project has changed.

“Ara’s role in the PTP is to take staff expertise from CAPL and our Department of Trades and travel with a representative from MBIE to Pacific countries where we will assist with conducting local skills assessments,” Dixon said.

“We have been asked to train officials from labour sending units and local vocational training providers to conduct the

skills assessment process so that participating New Zealand employers can go to the Pacific and work with the local organisations to recruit workers for New Zealand construction projects on an ongoing basis.”

Labour mobility initiatives such as this supports New Zealand’s commitment under the Labour Mobility Arrangement, which sits alongside the PACER Plus trade agreement, which aims to foster economic integration in support of sustainable economic development in the Pacific.

Mick Cooke, Ara carpentry tutor, left for Samoa on Sunday where he will work with the Samoan Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Labour, and the National University of Samoa’s Department of Construction to assess approximately 30 workers, and teach the assessment processes to their staff.

Following this, Cooke will travel to Tonga to continue the project. MBIE would like to extend the initiative to Vanuatu and Solomon Islands in a later round of the programme.

This time the initiative will not involve assessing the workers through CAPL to see if their prior learning can be recognised with the award of a qualification. However, this does not mean it’s completely off the table.

“Prior learning assessment is not automatically part of this process. However, through the positive feedback we received from the pilot project and with so many workers gaining carpentry qualifications we’ll certainly be promoting the opportunity for either the sponsoring employers in New Zealand or for the workers themselves to go through the assessment process when they’re in New Zealand,” Dixon said.

After 43 years in the force, one of Mid Canterbury’s favourite police community educators is calling it a day.

Few police have spent as much of their career in Ashburton as the man with the motorcycle-licence and the handlebar moustache.

Known to youth as the cop with the cool-factor, there are also few facets of local policing where Chris Wiltshire hasn’t made his mark – but the time came on Thursday to mark the end of his constabulary days.

Chris gathered with colleagues to reflect on a career which began atop a Suzuki GS550 motorcycle a full 43 years ago and has since taken him to everything from shootings to highway pursuits to classrooms and mobility scooter meetings.

The year was 1975 and policing was very different when Chris started his career in the then Ministry of Transport and received his first posting to Ashburton, he explained.

He was gradually promoted from the Suzuki to a car, then with the merger of the police and the ministry in 1992 came the chance to shift into a new position as a constable – and Chris was up for the challenge.

And throughout his years on highways and on the beat he has accrued plenty of stories to share with people like his two children and three grandchildren.

By working with the police he has been a part of history, he said.

In 1979 he helped enforce car-

“

worked during the Kirsty Bentley case, and was in one of the first cars to reach the Winz shooting.

It hasn’t always been easy work, but Chris said he has liked what he’s done.

“You experience things other people don’t get to. You see people at their very best and their very worst. But if you see someone in a bad situation and you’re able to help them, then that’s a good feeling.”

From being on the frontline, Chris shifted into part-time community education, then gradually fulltime, and that’s where he made

In every generation there’s different ways of taking risks and this generation are not worse, just different

less days across New Zealand – ensuring private motor vehicle owners refrained from using their vehicles for at least one day a week, in a bid to preserve dwindling fuel supplies.

During the 1981 Springbok protests he was at “probably one of the only” pro-tour marches in the country – down the main street of Ashburton.

He assisted royal tours around the South Island in the 1980s and worked during the Temuka footand-mouth scare.

When Bill Clinton visited Auckland for Apec in 1999, he was one of the Ashburton constables selected to attend.

At home in Ashburton, he

his biggest mark on Mid Canterbury.

For 20-odd years he and Pup Chamberlain were the town’s dynamic duo – visiting kindergartens, high schools, scouts, girl guides and community groups – teaching driving courses and even chairing mobility scooter meetings – and becoming the kind of cops you could approach in the street, he said.

Inevitably, he’s gotten to know a fair few faces around town.

“If me or Pup or Zelda [Sandys] or Rob Hooper don’t know someone, then they don’t exist,” he laughed.

But the rewarding work was not without its sacrifices. He spent

long days travelling around the district and answering the call to frontline duty when necessary.

Special mention goes to his wife, Pam, and his children Carly and Ben, without the support of whom he “couldn’t have done it”.

“It’s not easy being the cop’s kid, or the cop’s wife. I worked – for 16 years – every Christmas Day, and that’s time we won’t get back.

The job, the night shifts – it puts a strain on your family. My family missed out,” he said.

But his work also wouldn’t have been nearly as worth it without the “generally bloody good people” that make up the youth of Ashburton.

“They’re fantastic folk.

“I think adults can be a bit critical of them, but they tend to forget what they were doing at a similar age. In every generation there’s different ways of taking risks and this generation are not worse, just different.”

That conviviality worked both ways.

When the police education roles were under threat some years ago, the community rallied and ensured they remained.

“The schools were doing posters and I think I was on the front page of the Guardian for about a week. The community really got behind us.”

“We thought we were doing a good job, but it was nice to know that other parts of the community thought so too.”

Recently, he has been approached by parents saying it’s a shame their children won’t get to experience the “Pup and Chris police education sessions” that they did.

But when it’s time to go, it’s time to go.

“It’s hard to walk away from something you’ve known for so

long … but I don’t want to be that grumpy old cop that’s been there for a few too many years,” he said.

From here, Chris has few plans, other than volunteer work for the Cancer Society and said he is looking forward to just figuring things out as they come.

But he leaves behind advice for current cops – “today will soon be ‘the good old days’.”

“You’ve got to enjoy it for what it is.”

OUR VIEW

A huge thank you to an old boy in blue I

f you went to school in Mid Canterbury, chances are that your path would have crossed, at some point, with Chris Wiltshire.

He’s been pounding the streets and schools of Mid Canterbury for decades, but this week hung up the blue hat for the last time as he signed off from the police force after a 43-year stint as part of the boys in blue.

For most, unless you’ve lived on the wrong side of the law, Wiltshire’s indelible mark will be most remembered from the classroom.

For 20 years he, along with partner in crime (excuse the pun) Pup Chamberlain, were the faces of community education, spending hours in classrooms and other educational venues across the region – teaching and advising on a whole host of dif-

ferent things.

If you were a student who attended one of their sessions, you’ll well remember the element of fun and humour that the pair brought to their respective roles and how easy it was to listen to and learn from them in the classroom situation.

That sleek handlebar moustache and the element of cheek that seemed to follow him around made him endearing to almost anyone he would come into contact with.

It’s one of the best parts of being in a small community like

ours that we can have recognisable figures in positions of authority like Chris has been for such a long time.

Guys and girls, like Chris and Pup, are long-standing, well respected figures.

They are people who thousands have looked up to over the years and not having them out doing what they’re best known for will leave a massive hole in our district.

Police officers do cop their fair share of flak from the community at times, but you can never underestimate what they do eve-

ryday to keep our streets, roads and lives a little bit safer.

We have been blessed for more than four decades to have an officer with the dedication and passion for our community that Chris has shown during his time on the beat and his absence from the force is a massive loss for the Ashburton District.

Chris, on behalf of all of us here at the Guardian, we wish you all the best for your retirement and we thank you for everything you’ve done over the years to help shape law-abiding citizens.

Today’s highlight in history: On June 30, 1953, the first Chevrolet Corvette, with its innovative fibreglass body, was built at a General Motors assembly facility in Flint, Michigan.

On this date: In 1859, French acrobat Charles Blondin walked back and forth on a tightrope above the gorge of Niagara Falls as thousands of spectators watched.

In 1865, eight people, including Mary Surratt and Dr Samuel Mudd, were convicted by a military commission of conspiring with John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln. (Four defendants, including Surratt, were executed; Mudd was sentenced to life in prison, but was pardoned by President Andrew Johnson in 1869.)

In 1908, the Tunguska Event took place in Russia as an asteroid exploded above Siberia, leaving 800 square miles of scorched or blown-down trees.

In 1918, labour activist and socialist Eugene V. Debs was arrested in Cleveland, charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 for a speech he’d made two weeks earlier denouncing US involvement in World War One. (Debs was sentenced to prison and disenfranchised for life.)

NZEI industrial action a ‘shambles’ W

ho would you get to organise a strike? What group would be best to put together industrial action and do it well? Nope, this ain’t a trick question. If you guessed ‘the union’ you’d be right.

So the teachers are chomping at the bit and want some action from their union known as NZEI. Each fulltime teacher belonging to the union pays $600 a year for this group to bargain, argue and advocate on their behalf. That is what I pay to register my motorbike and I can tell you I’m getting the better deal!

NZEI have organised a strike for next term.

Actually the reality is NZEI has organised a shambles for next term and are calling it a strike.

Honestly I don’t think I could trust them to sit the right way on a toilet seat given their kneeshaking, fear-inducing tactic of taking time off work.

Here is their master plan.

Hmm, we don’t want to slack parents off so let’s have teachers strike later, say 1.30pm and have a meeting until 4.30pm.

That will shake up Wellington.

They will cower in the corridors of power knowing teachers aren’t working for three hours!

Crusher Collins will tremble at

Peter Livingstone OUT OF SCHOOL

the thought of piles of unmarked writing by Year 3s who always begin their stories with; ‘In the weekend I went to the Warehouse…’

Now to really show how tough they are, NZEI has decided to clarify roles and responsibilities around what this means for the humble men and women who serve our schools as boards of trustee members, known as the BOT. I’m going to quote Louise Green, NZEI national exec: “The board of trustees is the teachers’ employer and is responsible for making the decision to dock teachers’ pay if they take industrial action.”

Great clarification Louise. Yes, the boards are the teachers’ employers and thanks for throwing us under the bus. You see, while boards employ teachers, they cannot directly pay them and have no say in their pay levels etc.

Saying it is now up to a BOT to decide if they should dock teachers’ pay or not, while striking, is just crap.

In fact my initial response was “get stuffed NZEI”. Don’t you dare call the teachers to action and then make BOTs the bad guy and leave the decision to dock pay or not, theirs.

This has got nothing to do with BOTs. Boards do not have a say over a teacher’s pay. If NZEI would like boards to have more say over the pay teachers get, then vote for bulk funding.

Bulk funding means all of the salaries paid to teachers in a school would be given to the school as cash and the school could decide how many teachers to employ, what to pay them, decide on performance pay and dock them if they go on strike.

This idea of a three-hour strike is simply ludicrous.

It is typical 1950s coal miner, tools down mentality that lacks creativity and will go nowhere and have absolutely no effect on negotiations for teachers. I believe a blind man, in a dark room, looking for a black cat that isn’t there, would have more chance of succeeding than this industrial action.

To the board members who may face questions from parents

about this upcoming waste of time, school disruption, apologies for being put in this position, you don’t deserve to be.

I have appreciated and will continue to appreciate your support of our schools.

Policitcal opinions Now on another note, a shoutout to Andrew Falloon and Amy Adams who recently submitted opinion columns that contained more of their personal voices, rather than regurgitating the party line.

I would like to think you may have heeded my criticism in a previous column (yes, my ego is that big). However, I suspect you are sharpening your opinion writing skills and listening to your constituents.

And while I’m now in a semilucid state, well done to the team at the Guardian for your recent success.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Locals investing in their community A new development in Ashburton has brought a range of agri-professionals offering complementary services together in one place.

The Tavendale and Partners Centre on the corner of Cass and Burnett streets was a year in construction but already feels just like home to the businesses that moved in earlier this month.

A joint venture between leading Mid Canterbury-based family agribusiness Carrfields Investments and Tavendale and Partners, the two-storey 2915 square metre mixed-use office and retail commercial building is a perfect example of two local businesses investing in the local community, while at the same time kick-starting an inner-town rebuild that will cater for the local community’s growth and needs.

Carrfields Group managing director Craig Carr said there are great advantages in having a wide variety of agri-services under one roof, adding that Ashburton needs high quality professionals and having them based in the area means local businesses don’t have to go to Christchurch to access a variety of services.

The investment by both Carrfields and Tavendale and Partners in the development should also be seen as a huge

vote of confidence in the Mid Canterbury agribusiness sector.

Carr said he based that confidence on the region’s unique soils, irrigation, close proximity to two large sea water ports and international airport, dynamic, progressive farmers and a high calibre service industry to support them.

Both Carr and Andrew Leete

from Tavendale and Partners think the new building, designed by local architects Chilton + Mayne Architecture, is a fantastic, high quality development to be proud of.

In terms of construction projects, the Tavendale and Partners Centre is a good example of what’s known in the trade as an early contractor involvement job,

that is, where the lead construction contractor, in this case Bradford Building, is involved in the project right from the start.

It’s all about the client, engineer, architect and construction company working together as a team to complete a project as efficiently as possible.

Another integral part of the project was Carrfields’

and Tavendale and Partners’ desire that wherever possible, Mid Canterbury based subcontractors were used on the build.

Construction of the building also ran to schedule, taking about a year, with Bradford Building’s site foreman Hamish George and project manager James Kay playing key roles in that achievement.

Tavendale and Partners Centre ADVERTISING FEATURE

Although there has been plenty of interest from businesses wanting to base themselves in the new building, there are still some tenancies available, including a versatile office space upstairs, office/retail space downstairs and an area that has been designed with hospitality in mind.

See the floorplans on page 14 for a better idea.

Tavendale and Partners has the greatest footprint of the companies based in the building, occupying two-thirds of the top floor.

They offer a full range of legal services.

Leete said although their reputation is strongest in agribusiness and commercial, the firm is proud to support clients throughout their legal lifecycles, extending from buying their first home to dealing with estates.

A staff of 60 works fluidly between the Christchurch and Ashburton offices, with Christchurch-based lawyers regularly working out of the Ashburton office (and vice versa).

This gives Ashburton clients a greater depth of specialisation and expertise, which can be very valuable when circumstances dictate.

The firm’s point of difference as lawyers is an assurance that the team genuinely understands clients’ needs and what matters to them.

“In the agribusiness and commercial space, lawyers are encouraged to build genuine industry knowledge through involvement with industry groups and active participation on current issues.”

The Tavendale and Partners’ office layout reflects the firm’s community values through the inclusion of a separate ‘client centre’ that is available for clients and

friends of the firm on an independent basis.

The client centre also allows the firm to host groups for training sessions, workshops and updates on the everevolving legal issues that many businesses face.

Tavendale and Partners contracted interior designers Buchan Group to complete the fit-out of their offices.

“Our brief was to create a modern, high quality, open plan layout that maintained elements of their existing brand while pushing the boundaries of standard office design,” senior interior designer Anna Hill said.

“Achieving the client brief of an open plan layout and central meeting space, the design made use of the full length windows with natural light flooding the space.

“The client side houses an inviting reception space, with sophisticated meeting rooms, large boardroom and internal court which opens up to create a large function space for internal and external use.

“A ‘modern industrial’ feel with a contemporary stripped back approach has been applied to the design, through the use of carefully selected furniture and custom made joinery to achieve the desired style the client requested.”

Tavendale and Partners are proud of their association with the Carr family and have valued the opportunity to work with them on the development, Leete said.

“With a common focus on agribusiness and a fierce commitment to the Mid Canterbury region, ownership and occupation of the building are well aligned.”

Agri-professionals under one roof The businesses that are based in the Tavendale and Partners Centre all work in the agri-professional field, offering services that complement each other. As well as organisations with a purely local or regional focus, the new development has also attracted some of the major players in their respective industries.

Irrigo Centre Irrigo Centre Limited supports all the irrigation schemes in the district – Acton Irrigation, Ashburton Lyndhurst Irrigation, MHV Water and BCI – through providing administration and environmental services, as well as managing accommodation for scheme personnel.

As the wider group was growing it needed more space and more dedicated meeting rooms for interaction with irrigator shareholders and other stakeholders, and the Tavendale and Partners Centre offered an opportunity to develop a purpose-built support centre for its irrigation schemes in a new building, well located in the Ashburton township.

“It was important to us that our team had a modern, warm and light environment to work in,” Irrigo Centre chairman John Wright said.

One of advantages of being in a building whose occupants have

an agri-professional theme is that it means the Irrigo team is in close proximity to other agri-professionals, providing its shareholders with some convenience, Wright said, while allowing its staff to interact and collaborate more closely with others working in the district.

The Irrigo group has a high level of confidence in the agribusiness sector, he said, as the district is blessed with strong family farming businesses, good soils and climate, an abundance of water for irrigation, and an innovative mindset.

Perpetual Guardian Perpetual Guardian sees the Tavendale and Partners Centre as a fantastic opportunity for it to engage with its clients in the Mid Canterbury area, and to provide estate planning solutions in and around Mid Canterbury, southern

regional manager David Boyce said.

Perpetual Guardian aims to be the first choice of New Zealanders to secure their legacy, Boyce said, adding that its goal is for every adult to have an estate plan so that every child is protected by one.

“We administer and supervise over $150 billion of assets, and see ourselves as a collaborative partner working alongside our clients and other professionals to provide the very best in fiduciary services for them and their clients.”

Boyce said New Zealand is about to see the biggest review of trust law in more than 60 years, with the responsibilities of trustees to be made more explicit.

“It is anticipated that many current trustees will find these responsibilities very onerous, and this may be the catalyst to consider the appointment of an independent and/or professional trustee for broader fiduciary services.

“Many of those who may wish to make use of the advice we can provide may be involved in the agri sector and therefore we are extremely comfortable in forming relationships with the other building occupants to provide a collaborative approach.”

Lay Associates Leeston-based accountancy business Lay Associates has had a strong relationship with Tavendales over a number of years, and its increasing presence in Mid Canterbury made the decision to co-locate with Tavendales an easy one, Mike Lay says.

Lay Associates is a chartered accountancy practice that specialises in rural business, offering services from tax compliance through to business advice, while also specialising in succession planning.

Lay said he saw the co-location of agri-specialist businesses in the Tavendale and Partners Centre as a significant advantage, “not only to us as advisers, but to our clients who can benefit from the synergies we can provide including a wider variety of services they can receive from the same location”.

Having provided accounting services in the Selwyn region for well over 20 years, Lay Associates have developed a strong reputation in providing agribusiness services.

“In recent years we have noticed a significant increase in exposure within Mid Canterbury.

The increase has been such that we felt we could better service clients with an office located in Ashburton to allow us to further grow our business. The Tavendales opportunity came along and it seemed like a perfect fit.”

Colliers International Another company that has had a long association with Tavendale and Partners is Colliers and it saw the opportunity to collaborate further with them in their new, purpose-built agri-hub suited the company’s strategic direction and growth plans, Shane O’Brien, Colliers Rural and Agribusiness director, said.

Offering rural real estate services as well as strategic acquisition and divestment advice, O’Brien said Colliers saw the new development as an opportunity to share ideas, market intelligence, client referrals and to collaborate on strategies to assist its clients achieve best possible outcomes.

Colliers has a massive amount of confidence in Mid Canterbury, O’Brien said, as it’s at the forefront of rural technology, production and diversification with abundant natural resources.

“It can be described as New Zealand’s food bowl and the move to wholesome traceable food internationally will be of great significance to us all,” he said.

Colliers originally had an office in Ashburton in late 2014, which O’Brien said was closed for a period early last year knowing this development was pending.

“We have always been committed to Ashburton and have completed several rural sales in recent weeks. I was born and bred in Ashburton and all of our team still have either family or friends in the district.”

BDO Another company that has done a lot of prior work with Tavendale and Partners is business con-

sultancy specialist BDO, whose own business in Mid Canterbury has been growing quickly, senior consultant Rod Hansen says.

“We had been considering how best we further establish our footprint in Ashburton when this opportunity was presented.

Holmes, Foxx split

Police secure the scene of a shooting at an office building housing The Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, Maryland.

Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx have reportedly split. The high-profile duo –who have always tried to keep their relationship low-key – are said to have called time on their romance, having gone public with their love in September last year. Katie, 39 – who has a 12-yearold daughter called Suri with ex-husband Tom Cruise – instigated the split, according to RadarOnline. The Hollywood stars were romantically linked to each other for the first time back in 2013, but the pair subsequently spent years insisting that they were merely just good friends.

■ UNITED STATES

Five die in targeted attack A man armed with smoke grenades and a shotgun attacked journalists at a newspaper in Maryland’s capital yesterday, killing five people before police quickly stormed the building and arrested him, police and witnesses said.

Police said the suspect was a white man in his late 30s whose shotgun rampage at The Capital Gazette followed social media threats directed at the newspaper.

A law enforcement official said the suspect has been identified as Jarrod W. Ramos.

The official was not authorised to discuss the ongoing investigation by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Authorities said the gunman entered the building in a targeted attack and “looked

for his victims”. He had smoke grenades and fired a shotgun at his victims, according to Anne Arundel County Acting Police Chief William Krampf.

“This person was prepared today to come in, this person was prepared to shoot people.

His intent was to cause harm,” Krampf said.

Among the victims was veteran journalist and columnist Rob Hiaasen, 59, brother of novelist Carl Hiaasen. Carl Hiaasen said he was “devastated and heartsick” at the loss of a brother he called “one of the most gentle and funny people I’ve ever known”.

Krampf said the gunman was a Maryland resident and search warrants were being sought for his home.

Phil Davis, a reporter who

covers courts and crime for the paper, tweeted that the gunman shot out the glass door to the office and fired into the newsroom, sending people scrambling for cover under desks.

“A single shooter shot multiple people at my office, some of whom are dead,” he wrote.

Davis added: “There is nothing more terrifying than hearing multiple people get shot while you’re under your desk and then hear the gunman reload.”

The attacker had mutilated his fingers in an apparent attempt to make it harder to identify him, according to a law enforcement official. Another official said investigators identified the man using facial recognition technology.

The shooting – which came

amid months of verbal and online attacks on the “fake news media” from politicians and others from President Donald Trump on down – prompted New York City police to immediately tighten security at news organisations in the nation’s media capital.

At the White House, spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said: “There is no room for violence, and we stick by that. Violence is never tolerated in any form, no matter whom it is against.”

Authorities said the suspect was undergoing questioning by detectives.

“The shooter has not been very forthcoming, so we don’t have any information yet on motive,” Anne Arundel County Executive Steve Schuh said.

Smith, Flynn split Sam Smith has reportedly split from actor boyfriend Brandon Flynn. The 26-year-old singer has been in a relationship with the 13 Reasons Why star since November, but the pair are understood to have broken things off last week after nine months of dating, the Daily Mail reports. A source told The Sun: “Sam and Brandon had a real whirlwind romance. They really fell for each other.

But they are both so busy with their careers and unfortunately things just haven’t worked out.” Sam – who has deleted a number of snaps of the pair from his social media accounts – is said to be “devastated” about the split.

■ NIGERIA

Nine killed as oil-carrying truck crashes, burns Nigerian officials say nine people are dead after an oil-carrying tanker truck crashed and burst into flames on a bridge in Lagos.

The Lagos state emergency management agency says in a statement that one of the dead was a child.

Another four people were injured in the accident, and 54 vehicles were burned.

It is not immediately clear what caused the crash.

The statement says fire, police and other authorities are on the scene amid efforts to clear the road of the destroyed vehicles.

Local television footage showed emergency responders walking among the charred-white vehicles, some of them still burning inside.

Lagos is Africa’s largest city, with a population of more than 21 million people.

Nigeria is one of Africa’s top oil producers.

Yesterday, Kiwi pop-rockers Six60 announced exactly what that is: becoming the first New Zealand band to headline a show at Auckland’s Western Springs Stadium. The Dunedin five-piece will perform at the Auckland venue this summer, on February 23. They’ll be bringing a few friends with them too, with Drax Project, Sons of Zion, SWIDT and IllBaz set to open the historic occasion. Western Springs will be the band’s biggest show.

Mum, son finally reunited A Brazilian mother and 9-yearold son separated at the USMexico border were together again after a federal judge in Chicago ordered the US government to release the boy, in one of the first examples of an urgent petition for court intervention successfully reuniting parent and child.

Facing reporters together just hours after the reunion, Lidia Karine Souza and her son, Diogo, wrapped their arms around each other. Diogo frequently looked up at his mom and smiled.

Asked if she had a message for President Donald Trump about her ordeal and his zerotolerance policy that separated hundreds of children from their parents, the mother responded through a translator, “Don’t do this to the children”.

Under Trump’s policy, the government has begun prosecuting all migrants caught entering the country without authorisation.

Trump has halted his policy of taking children from their detained parents under public pressure but around 2000 of them are still being held, with many families saying they’ve not known how to locate them.

Jesse Bless, an attorney for Souza and her son who stood with them at their news conference, described the ruling by US District Judge Manish Shah as unique, adding he hoped it would “open the door” for others to do the same and help hasten a resolution to the crisis.

When asked about advice she’d give to others facing similar challenges in getting their kids back, Souza said: “Don’t give up, be persistent.”

In brief Migrant solution European Union leaders claimed a breakthrough deal yesterday on how to deal with the pressures of migration after all-night talks helped accommodate Italian demands for more help. The EU leaders said the agreement would bolster the bloc’s external borders and improve the solidarity among member nations to ease pressure on point-of-entry nations like Greece and Italy. The plan proposes screening migrants in North Africa for asylum eligibility and setting up control centres within the bloc by nations which would volunteer to have them.

Charged over shooting

Lidia Karine Souza and her son Diogo De Olivera Filho smile at each other during a news conference shortly after Diogo was reunited with his mother.

PHOTO AP She turned herself and her son into US authorities at the Texas border and requested asylum, arguing her life was in danger in her native Brazil. She hasn’t said how. US officials detained her in Texas and took her son on May 30 without telling her where he would be.

When she was released June 9, she said, another detained mother who had also been separated from her child told her

to check a Chicago shelter, and there she found Diogo. They were allowed no more than weekly 20-minute phone calls, in which he begged her to get them reunited.

Shah, the son of immigrants from India, mulled his decision for just four hours before ordering the government to immediately turn the boy over to his mum. Diogo had spent four weeks at the government-con-

tracted shelter.

The boy appeared relaxed fielding questions before dozens of TV cameras and reporters at their lawyers’ office in a Chicago high-rise building. But he said the days and weeks after he was separated from his mum were difficult.

“I cried almost every day I wasn’t with my mother,” he said, also speaking through a translator.

California bows to beverage industry, blocks soda taxes

Boy, 3, dies in washing machine

A new push by the beverage industry is slowing the expansion of soda taxes in California and elsewhere.

California cities pioneered soda taxes as a way to combat obesity, diabetes and heart disease, but the Legislature and Governor Jerry Brown bowed to pressure from beverage companies and reluctantly banned local taxes on soda for the next 12 years.

It follows similar bans recently passed in Arizona and Michigan. Voters in Oregon will decide on a statewide ban in November. The American Beverage Association, which represents CocaCola, PepsiCo and others, has backed the moves after several cities passed taxes on sugary drinks in recent years.

California’s ban is part of a last-minute manoeuvre to block a beverage industry-backed ballot measure that would make it much harder for cities and counties to raise taxes of any kind. The ABA said in a statement the legislation is about keeping groceries, including drinks, affordable.

Lawmakers approved the proposal despite deep reluctance.

“This industry is aiming a nuclear weapon at government in California and saying, ‘If you don’t do what we want we are going to pull the trigger and you are not going to be able to fund basic government services’,” said Sen. Scott Wiener, a Dem-

A three-year-old boy has tragically suffocated to death after locking himself inside a washing machine while playing hide and seek.

The young boy named Marcel, from Poland, was playing with his five-year-old sister while their parents were taking a nap on June 18.

The boy climbed into the washing machine inside the bathroom and managed to lock himself inside, local media reported.

His parents began to frantically search for him when they could no longer hear him playing.

Marcel’s dad soon discovered his son and immediately called an ambulance.

When paramedics arrived the toddler was in a critical condition and died just hours later.

An autopsy revealed that the little boy had died from suffocation due to lack of oxygen in the washing machine.

ocrat from San Francisco, which has a soda tax.

The Legislature’s action drew a strong rebuke from public health advocates who view soda taxes as a crucial front in their efforts to contain obesity and the health complications it causes.

But local government officials, terrified by the prospect of having their hands tied on all future tax increases, reluctantly backed the legislation.

“I’ve been in politics a long time, and sometimes you have to do what’s necessary to avoid catastrophe,” said Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg.

A white Pennsylvania police officer was charged with criminal homicide just eight days after fatally shooting an unarmed black teenager in the back in a case built quickly on the testimony of multiple witnesses, video and the officer’s own conflicting statements. “You do not shoot someone in the back if they are not a threat to you,” Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala said. East Pittsburgh officer Michael Rosfeld was charged in the June 19 shooting death of 17-yearold Antwon Rose Jr. after the teen fled from a traffic stop. Rosfeld, 30, turned himself in and was later released on $250,000 bond. - AP

But the effort appeared unsuccessful and the situation remained dire, with no guarantee that the water will soon recede from the cave with months left in Thailand’s rainy season. Divers have been unable to navigate passages filled with muddy water, and rescuers are seeking alternative ways of entering the sprawling cave, hoping to find hidden shafts in the mountain.

■ KIWIFRUIT CHALLENGE

Growers hail High Court ruling Kiwifruit growers have claimed victory after the High Court said MPI was responsible for the introduction of the bacterial disease Psa that swept through their industry with devastating effect in 2010.

The High Court said it had partially upheld a claim brought by Strathboss Kiwifruit Ltd – representing a class of 212 kiwifruit orchardists – and Te Puke-based post harvest operator, Seeka, against the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) over the outbreak.

Strathboss and Seeka had claimed the disease came from a Chinese consignment of kiwifruit anthers – the part of the flower from which pollen is extracted – imported into New Zealand pursuant to an import permit granted by MAF, which later became the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI).

Judge Jillian Mallon said MAF owed a duty of care to kiwifruit growers but not to Seeka, because it was one step removed from the direct harm suffered by growers.

Justice Mallon said that the evidence provided by the growers showed it was more likely than not that the anthers imported by Kiwi Pollen in 2009 from China were the cause of Psa in New Zealand.

Kiwifruit claim chairman John Cameron said that it was “hugely significant” for the kiwifruit industry and other primary industries that the court also established that MPI owed a duty of care to kiwifruit growers when carrying out its biosecurity functions.

“We’ve waited a long time for this day, and we are absolutely thrilled that the court has held that MPI owed a duty of care and breached that duty when it allowed PSA to enter New Zealand in 2009,” he said in a statement.

“Biosecurity is critical to New Zealand, and our primary producers and economy are heavily reliant on MPI to protect our borders against known biosecurity risks such as Psa.” “MPI knew for many years that Psa was a significant risk to the ki-

the New Zealand economy,” he said.

Judge Mallon said the Crown did not have any immunity from the claim under the Biosecurity Act, as it had claimed.

The court found that the then Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF) had responsibility for controlling what goods could be imported into New Zealand.

“MAF knew kiwifruit plant material was a risk good and that Psa was a disease associated with kiwifruit plant material,” she said.

“It was, or should have been, obvious to MAF that if pollen was not free of plant material or other contaminants and was to be used commercially to artificially pollinate kiwifruit orchards, the vines and crops of those orchards were at risk of harm,” Justice Mallon said.

MPI said it had not yet decided whether to appeal, adding that it was “carefully considering” the High Court’s findings and its implications for current and future biosecurity measures.

The Warehouse is proposing to cut 180 jobs across 92 stores, according to a union representative.

Kate Davis, First Union national co-ordinator for The Warehouse, said staff were told Thursday morning about the proposal that will affect supervisors and team leaders.

Davis said staff were given until July 8 to return feedback about the proposal and a decision would be made on July 15.

A spokesperson for The Warehouse confirmed a proposal had been shared with their team and that staff would be given till July 8

to submit feedback.

“We shared a proposal with our team yesterday which we developed with input from a working group of store managers. It’s a proposal only and we are seeking feedback from our teams before deciding on next steps, so it’s not appropriate to comment further at this point,” the spokesperson said.

Davis said this was an inadequate amount of time to respond.

Davis believed the decision was about “cost cutting” and it was not The Warehouse we used to know.

“I think this is a far cry from The Warehouse we used to know, that Stephen Tindall built, which was like a coverted community based organisation that gave back to the workers,” Davis said.

Of the people proposed to be losing their jobs, Davis says they are the ones that have been the face of The Warehouse for the last 20 years.

“These are the faces of the people that you’ve seen everyday at the Warehouse for the last 20 years. These are the people that are losing their jobs,” Davis said.

Smiths City takes $1.5 million hit Smiths City Group took a $1.5 million charge on what it expects to reimburse underpaid staff following this year’s Employment Court ruling that employees should’ve been paid for attending sales meetings, adding to a bigger trading loss than forecast and prompting it to suspend dividends.

The Christchurch-based retailer recognised the charge as a provision in its latest accounts, which note the payments will be calculated by August 8.

It will contribute to a $9.9m trading loss in the 12 months ended April 30, bigger than the projected loss of between $1.25m and $1.75m and turning around an operating profit of $2m a year earlier.

“In retrospect, we agree with the court,” chief executive Roy Campbell said in a statement.

“We are working to finalise the exact figure and will move to reimburse all affected staff progressively over the coming months as we locate those that worked for us in the past years.”

The retailer is into the fourth year of a five-year transformation programme to drop low margin business, improve inventory management and expand its presence in Auckland, creating a

national chain with a broader customer base.

“The board and management now believe the programme has not been sufficiently focused on delivering on our goal to help our customers to ‘Live Better’,” chair Alastair Kerr said.

“Additionally, the pace of change has not been fast enough to meet changing market conditions.”

Tough calls for selectors

By Erin taskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Picking a Mid Canterbury A netball team this year is proving to be hard work for new coach Claire Tappin.

Twenty-one women turned out to an open trial for the team on Tuesday night, all vying for a spot in Mid Canterbury Netball’s senior representative side which will take on South Canterbury and North Otago in their annual Hanan Shield tournament in five weeks.

Competition for places is so tough Tappin and selectors Ange Leadley and Sonia Frew have decided a second trial was needed.

That will be held tomorrow.

While selection might be a

headache, it’s a headache Tappin is happy to have because it should result in a strong team.

“There was a high number of shooters and some real strength in defence, and the mid-court is giving us a lot of decisions and tough calls to make,” she said.

“There’s a core that have played before, but there is quite a few new ones.”

In the past Mid Canterbury A have attended up to three tournaments in a season, but this year there’s just the one.

The Hanan Shield is an annual battle between Mid Canterbury, South Canterbury and North Otago.

Tappin has no idea what South Canterbury and North Otago will

throw at them this year, but she does know there will be one familiar face in the South Canterbury line-up.

Stacey Grant Smith, who plays for the United A side Tappin coaches in Mid Canterbury Netball’s premier competition, also plays for Mackenzie and her representative allegiance is to South Canterbury.

But whatever is thrown at them, Tappin is confident she’ll have a team that’s more than up to the task.

“There’s some real strength and some real experience, but also some real potential for development over the next couple of years,” Tappin said.

While some players might not

make the cut this year, they could be ones to watch in the future.

“A lot of the players are very, very close in ability and they came from across a range of clubs.

“Most of the prem one clubs were represented except for College,” Tappin said.

A number of College A players are already committed to age group representative teams.

“And there was a few from prem two. We have got the likes of Celtic B and Southern who are so strong in that grade and a lot of their players are up to the mark too,” Tappin said.

A team of 10 will be selected for the tournament, along with three non-travelling reserves.

■ FOOTBALL

New Zealand Football boss steps down Andy Martin’s tenure at New Zealand Football has come to an end, with the chief executive of the organisation retiring at the end of the month.

Martin has spent four years at the helm of the organisation, and felt it was time to “hang up his boots.”

“It is time to focus on my wife and family and follow my beloved Liverpool FC more intently,” Martin said in a statement yesterday.

“I would like to thank the staff of New Zealand Football who have worked tirelessly over the past four years to deliver some outstanding achievements, under sometimes trying circumstances.

“Football in New Zealand is in good health because of them and they remain undeterred to do a good job for the sport that they love.”

It comes in the wake of the unprecedented fallout between the

Football Ferns and coach Andreas Heraf.

The Herald on Sunday reported last weekend that there is concern within the football community about Martin’s conduct since the Football Ferns’ scandal.

Martin held the role since December 2013.

Heraf has been under fire after 13 players wrote letters of complaint about him, with allegations around bullying, intimidation and a culture of fear.

Those players also said that they will not play under Heraf, which appears to make the Austrian’s roles as Ferns coach and national technical director untenable.

Earlier this month Heraf was placed on leave as an independent investigation was launched into the Football Ferns environment.

Martin was publicly adamant he had no prior knowledge of any allegations or issues.

Steve Smith has opened up on a turbulent three months since his world came crashing down following the ball-tampering saga.

Fronting media for the first time since a tearful press conference at Sydney airport in March, former test skipper Smith admitted he has had a rough time dealing with a one-year ban from international and domestic firstclass cricket.

That was given to Smith by Cricket Australia for his role, alongside ex-deputy David Warner and Cameron Bancroft, in “sandpapergate” in South Africa.

“I have been up and down with my emotions if I’m being honest,” Smith said at a press conference at the Global T20 Canada league yesterday.

The 29-year-old said it was particularly difficult watching from afar as Australia suffered a 5-0 drubbing at the hands of England in the recent ODI series.

“Watching the boys play in England, not playing as well as they could have, it was hurting me that I couldn’t go out and help them win games,” Smith said.

Smith credited fiancee Dani Willis and father Peter, as well as family and friends, for helping him recover from the aftermath of the ill-fated test in Cape Town in March.

“I’ve had a few close group of people that have really helped me,” Smith said.

“My fiancee, my old man, couple close mates that’s made a big difference.

“I’m fortunate I’ve had those people help me get through what was a pretty difficult time in my life.”

But Smith is finding positives from his three-month hiatus from competitive cricket, which ended when he guided the Toronto Nationals to a six-wicket victory over Vancouver Knights in the opening match of the fledgling Canadian T20 league.

The world’s top-ranked test batsman revealed he had been feeling mentally fatigued since the recent Ashes series, which Australia won 4-0.

“It’s been tough but I think I needed a break if that makes sense,” Smith said.

“It’s obviously come under some ordinary circumstances, but I was really mentally fatigued after the Ashes.

“I put so much into that Ashes ... I don’t think I’ve ever hit the ball that bad in my life.

“I just felt horrible at the crease and it comes down to the mental part of the game.

“A bit of a break perhaps wasn’t the worst thing ... hopefully I’ll be able to come back and perform at a really high level again.”

Smith was also ordered to serve 100 hours of community service

by Cricket Australia, which he chose to carry out with the mental health foundation Gotcha 4 Life.

United facing relegation

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

United A are staring at the prospect of relegation from Mid Canterbury Netball’s premier one grade after a slow start ended in a resounding 36-20 loss to Methven A on Thursday night.

It was a big night at the EA Networks Centre, with three teams in danger of finishing round two on the bottom of the table and having to face a promotion/relegation match to fight for the right to finish the season in the top grade.

United A were in the worst position, at the bottom of the table needing to win, but also needing Ashburton College A and Mt Somers A to lose.

College A did go down, playing in the night’s opening match against Hampstead A they lost 34-30, leaving their fate in the hands of both Mt Somers and United A. It was Mt Somers who had the biggest ask of the night, facing a Celtic A side unbeaten so far this season, but Mt Somers – a new team this season who were promoted from premier two after round one – started with a hiss and a roar and took an unexpected two-goal lead at the end of the game’s first quarter.

It was anyone’s game at half-

time with the two sides locked at 13-all, and the upset of the season looked to be on the cards with Mt Somers leading 20-19 at three-quarter time.

But Celtic found another gear in the final quarter and left Mt Somers in their dust, winning the quarter 10-4 and the game 29-23.

“It took a while for our girls to find their rhythm, but once we did we got on track,” Celtic coach Angela Leadley said.

“Mt Somers put us under a bit of pressure and the girls responded well.”

So, two of the three things that United A needed to go their way, had gone their way – College A and Mt Somers losing – but United A struggled from the outset in their must-win match against Methven A. Down 5-0 early, United A trailed Methven A 9-4 at quartertime and needed to take it to another level if they were to get back into the game.

But Methven A gradually grew their margin and by half-time were out to 16-9, and then 26-15 at three-quarter time.

United needed a miracle in the final quarter to turn that 11goal margin around, and it didn’t come, with Methven running away with the game 36-20.

Methven coach Maree Firth

said it was a hard-fought game and the scoreboard didn’t reflect the intensity on court, but said her side was really coming together and supporting each as the season wore on.

“We applied pressure throughout the entire game and we got the desired result,” Firth said.

United coach Claire Tappin said Methven completely outplayed them.

“On the night Methven were a much stronger performer and we were very, very disappointed in how we played and that’s been our issue this round,” Tappin said.

“We have been so inconsistent.

“We have had our best performances against Celtic and Mt Somers and we found ourselves in promotion/relegation, so our consistency has been really frustrating.”

Earlier, College A had mounted a late comeback against Hampstead A and fell just short of what could have been a vital bonus point for finishing within three, had United A gone on to win.

After a tight start, Hampstead moved ahead in the middle of the game and led 26-19 at three quarter time, but lost the final quarter 11-8.

College coach Kaye Kennedy said her players were disap-

pointed that their fate in the top flight had come down to the final game, but they were pleased to have made it through to round three.

“I was really impressed with our fightback at the end, we just couldn’t quite sneak in there within those three goals,” Kennedy said.

“We’re still just working on getting those four consistent quarters, but I think our links through court were much better and we had good moving plays through the court.”

Ashburton College A hadn’t had such a good night in the Canterbury secondary schools’ SuperNet competition on Wednesday night, losing to St Margaret’s 3022, a loss that really came down to the second quarter which the Ashburton side lost 12-2.

But, College A had done enough through the first round to finish sixth and avoid a relegation match in that competition too, meaning they’d stay in the top tier for the next round.

Meanwhile in Thursday night’s premier two action, Celtic B’s hard-fought win over Celtic C ensured they topped the table and earned the right to take on United A in the promotion/ relegation match on Tuesday night.

LeBron James sprung to his feet and screamed along with thousands of delirious Cleveland fans.

When Indians outfielder Rajai Davis connected off Chicago Cubs reliever Aroldis Chapman for a tying home run in the eighth inning of the 2016 World Series, James came unglued and reacted the way he might after a monstrous dunk or back-breaking 3-pointer in the NBA Finals.

And while his fanatical response said a lot about James and his allegiance to the Indians, so did the tight, black T-shirt he wore on that unseasonably warm November night. It said: “Cleveland Or Nowhere.”

As the sports world waits to see where the three-time champion intends to play next season and beyond, there remains the real possibility that James could choose to stay in Cleveland, where this Northeast Ohio son shares a unique connection with fans who have followed him since his teens.

James has other options: Los Angeles (salary-cap space for another star), Houston (a chance to play on a super team with James Harden), Philadelphia and maybe more.

But, as has always been the case for James, home will pull at his heart.

For the longest time, the perception was that once James ended Cleveland’s 52-year title drought in 2016, he would leave again as soon as he could. That doesn’t seem to be a slam dunk any longer. By today, James is expected to make his first move and likely decline a $35.6 million contract option with the Cavs, who are hoping their past loyalties and his own sentimental attachments – family, legacy – will keep him in Cleveland.

Months ago, James’ connection with the Cavs seemed broken, hopeless. Last summer’s shocking trade of All-Star Kyrie Irving, the team’s failed attempt to integrate guard Isaiah Thomas, assorted injuries and coach Tyronn Lue’s medical issues contributed to James appearing ready to pull up stakes again.

But a funny thing happened on the way to the NBA Finals.

Despite a lack of cohesion and Vegas odds makers labelling the Cavs as underdogs, Cleveland advanced to a fourth straight summer showdown with Golden State, surviving two Game 7s along the way.

Of course, James did all the heavy lifting. He had perhaps his best postseason, while doing all he could in a Finals sweep that could have been much different if Cleveland had not lost Game 1 in overtime.

“He gave his heart and soul, die-hard energy, commitment to this team, to this franchise, to the city,” Altman said. “We don’t take that for granted at all.”

And it’s why the Cavs haven’t surrendered from the fight to keep him.

Battle on for top spot

BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

One team is set to head to the top of the table in the Mid Canterbury Rugby Watters Cup competition today.

The two winning teams from week one – Celtic and Southern – are set to face off at Celtic meaning by the end of the day, barring a draw, one of them will be sitting pretty at the top of the leaderboard.

Coach of the defending champion Southern side Andrew Carr said they would be taking Celtic very seriously.

“At the end of the day you have to respect every team in the competition, because they won’t give up,” Carr said.

“We will respecting them (Celtic), but we will be going in there to knock them over.”

Southern produced what Carr said was one of their best halves of the season so far in the first half of their win over Methven in the first round, but fell off the pace in the second half.

Carr said ball retention was key.

Against Methven, Southern tried to offload in the tackle and push passes that probably weren’t on, and as a result had to spend a lot of time on defence.

“We had to D up for a long time in that second half, and letting a couple of late tries in was disappointing,” Carr said.

For Celtic coach Shane Enright it was a case of if his side could get the basics right, they could go far. But silly mistakes had been plaguing them in recent weeks and their results had been showing it.

They started their Watters Cup campaign with a 29-3 win over Hampstead in round one, but they only led 7-3 at half-time thanks to a length-of-the-field intercept try.

The last time Southern and Celtic met was just four weeks ago, in the combined compe-

tition, and Southern won 15-12.

“We didn’t fire against them last time we played them, but at least we have seen each other and have seen what each other has got,” Enright said.

In today’s other match, Rakaia make their Watters Cup debut for 2018 against Hampstead.

They sat out round one with the bye, a week after losing their second consecutive Combined Country Cup final.

It was a devastating loss, and Rakaia were determined to pick themselves up for the Watters Cup and avoid a second year in a row of making two finals, but losing both.

Last year Rakaia lost to Southbridge in the Luisetti Seeds Cup combined competition final, and Southern in the Watters Cup final.

While they’d head into today’s match against Hampstead as firm favourites, no team was taking the challenge of a Hampstead side into their ninth season without a single Watters Cup game win.

Hampstead coach Shaun Bovey said his players were desperate to break the drought, but it’d be tough to do that against Rakaia.

“They have had a week off and they have missed out on the trophy they really wanted,” Bovey said.

He said they were a dangerous team, with dangerous players.

“Being realistic, we are not going in to lose, you never go in to lose, but if we can keep the game in check and keep them around the same score we held Celtic to, that would be a positive. We said to our boys after the game, ‘now it’s been nine years and a week’, and hopefully we will get that win before 10 years.

“We are not a million miles away,” Bovey said.

Methven have the bye in round two.

Celtic’s Pavoale Sofai and his teammates will take on defending champions Southern in today’s second round of Mid Canterbury Rugby’s Watters Cup competition.

In brief

More gongs for Bond, Murray

Hamish Bond and Eric Murray continue to reap the rewards of a stellar career.

The unbeaten Kiwi pair will be awarded rowing’s Thomas Keller Medal at next month’s World Cup in Switzerland.

Eric Murray and Hamish Bond have been named as the 2018 recipients of the sport’s most prestigious award for their career contribution.

They won 69-straight races in the class from 2009 to 2016, winning two Olympic gold medals and eight world championship titles during their tenure.

It’s the second time the award, named after a former FISA president, has been awarded to New Zealanders.

Caroline and Georgina Evers-Swindell received the gong in 2016.

The award honours those who have shown exemplary sportsmanship, technical mastery, and a legendary aspect both inside and outside their careers.

“We set out to win a few races and compete against the world, and the by-product of trying to be the best has left a legacy which will be there forever,” Murray said.

Bond, currently cycling in Wales, said it was an honour to be nominated.

“Typically the award is given to individuals, but given my career has been intertwined with Eric’s, it’s an honour to win it together.”

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Bennett pushes global view

By Laine CLark The nightmare ordeal of New Zealand’s players in the United States has not stopped Wayne Bennett from issuing an ultimatum – rugby league must take a “global view” or it will die in 15 years.

While the Bennett-coached England had a seamless return from Sunday’s Denver test against New Zealand, the Kiwis weren’t so lucky with players such as Martin Taupau enduring four days of flight delays before finally getting back to Australia.

A number of NRL teams were even unsure if their Kiwi players would be available for this week’s round with Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy critical of the test’s timing after admitting he had no idea about forward Nelson Asofa-Solomona’s whereabouts.

But Bennett believed it could have all been avoided if the NRL had worked together with the Rugby League International Federation over scheduling.

And the Broncos master coach insisted it was still up to NRL clubs to support the international game by ensuring all their players were available for tests.

New Zealand fielded a second string side in Denver due to late retirements, injuries and the unavailability of the likes of stars Shaun Johnson.

“The game works against the game.

“We didn’t all get on board with it,” Bennett said of the Denver test.

“We have had situations that could have been avoided with

Hayne back in form Jarryd Hayne insisted last week he wasn’t playing for a contract, but the cross-code star did his future no harm in Parramatta’s tight loss to St George Illawarra in the NRL. Hayne enjoyed his best game of the season so far for the Eels in their 20-18 defeat on Thursday, as he scored one try and saved another at WIN Stadium. Offcontract at the end of the year, Hayne revealed this week he is in no rush to make a decision and claims he won’t make a call on his future until the end of the season.

Barrett still unhappy

Wayne Bennett insists the game of rugby league has to continue to go global. scheduling and all that sort of stuff.

“People who run the game have to run the whole of the game so we are all on the same page not the NRL tugging somewhere and the international game trying to tug somewhere else.”

Bennett said the game must explore its options in the US including a proposed NRL 2019 season kick-off in America – or else.

“If we don’t have a global sport we are not going to have rugby league in 15 years, I tell you now,”

he said. “We will just have a little game of rugby league played in two states.

“We have taken an Australiawide view now we have to take a global view because it is a great product.”

Bennett was pleased with the 20,000 crowd for the Denver test but warned that if the game didn’t follow up the US visit, it would have been a “waste of time”.

“The first (US visit) was State of Origin in 1987,” he said.

“It doesn’t have to be an Origin game (played in the US) we just

need to have some sort of continuity.

“It’s a huge country over there and they love the body contact.

“If we get one or two per cent of their population interested in what we are doing, it would be huge for us.”

For the record, Bennett didn’t have any travel dramas in the US. “We were back in Sydney by 7am Monday morning. We beat the (Queensland) Origin players home (from Sydney) by two hours,” he smiled.

Manly coach Trent Barrett has described trying to get Martin Taupau home as a “disaster”, and isn’t confident of his star front-rower playing against Penrith tonight. Taupau took to social media this week to vent his frustration over a number of flight delays that resulted in the New Zealand star only returning from the United States on Thursday. Barrett insisted he was an advocate for international league, but said the travel issues only validated the club’s concerns about the test being staged in the middle of the NRL season. - AAP

Panthers re-sign Gillard

Panthers determined to nab Cleary

By Matt enCarnaCion Penrith coach Anthony Griffin is hopeful nailing down a stable squad will be a key factor when star halfback Nathan Cleary begins negotiations on a contract extension at the end of the year.

The Panthers have re-signed prop Reagan Campbell-Gillard to the second- longest deal in the league, tying him to the club until the end of the 2024 season.

He is now the 13th player to commit to the foot of the mountains for at least the next two seasons, with Cleary one of the few notable names to come off contract next year.

Nathan and father Ivan – current coach of the Wests Tigers – have made no secret of their desire to partner up in the future, however talks on the halfback’s future have been postponed until November.

Griffin is banking on the club’s ability to keep the bulk of their squad together to be a major selling point when the NSW State of Origin halfback sorts out his long-term plans.

The Panthers are very keen to retain budding superstar Nathan Cleary.

“There’s stability here, and his combination with (James Maloney) now as well, both here and at rep level, I think that just gives him some confidence about where the club’s going as well,” Griffin said.

“Obviously that’s something the club’s working through.

“Once Origin’s over, and now that there’s a lot of other guys that are settled here, obviously Nathan’s someone the club will want to work on as well.”

Griffin confirmed all eight of his representative players – including his State of Origin trio headed by Cleary – will play against Manly when they resume club competition today.

Kiwi duo Dallin WatenZelezniak and James Fisher-Harris trained strongly on Thursday after returning on Wednesday morning following their delayed flights from the United States.

For Manly, coach Trent Barrett said he wasn’t confident in prop Martin Taupau playing after his delayed flights.

The club is believed to have got clearance from the NRL to give hooker Manase Fainu his debut after unwanted Jackson Hastings was released, while Brad Parker replaces an injured Akuila Uate.

Dylan Walker also makes his anticipated return from a fractured cheekbone and will play in the halves in place of benched playmaker Trent Hodkinson.

A win for the Panthers would entrench their spot in the top four, while the 14th-placed Sea Eagles are currently 10 points out of the top eight.

According to club supremo Phil Gould, neither bopper sought offers elsewhere and were “very keen to stay with their mates”.

There’s a lot of stuff that goes on behind the scenes in a club and recruitment,” Robinson said. - AAP

Grylls chasing stakes dream Bridget Grylls has returned home with a clear career goal in mind.

“I felt the time was right to come back and I’d love to get on some fast horses and win a black type race here,” she said.

Grylls headed across the Tasman during the 2013-14 season and rode 138 winners during her spell in Queensland.

“I enjoyed it there and got a lot of support from some good trainers, it was a great experience and I’m a better rider now,” she said.

Grylls rode 67 New Zealand winners before her departure, beginning her apprenticeship at Awapuni with Lisa Latta before transferring to the Matamata stable of Ken and Bev Kelso.

She has returned to her home town of Te Awamutu, but is considering a future move to Cambridge.

Grylls, whose brother Craig is currently enjoying a successful stint in Singapore, will resume her New Zealand career at Ruakaka today where she has five rides.

“I think Air Centre might be my best, he’s drawn well and his form is pretty good,” she said.

Trained by Moira and Kieran Murdoch, Air Centre goes into the Mountfield Quarry Handicap (1200m) off the back of placings at Te Awamutu, Avondale and at the last Ruakaka meeting earlier this month.

Grylls will also be aboard stablemate Trouble (Almanzor at Cambridge Stud 900m), Noodles (ITM/ GIB Whangarei Gold Cup Day 14 July 1200m), Take It Out (Tanalised 1600m) and Cosmic Storm (Northpine Timber Beams and Posts 2100m).

Bridget Grylls has five rides at Ruakaka today.

Resurrect improving Connections of Resurrect are more hopeful than confident about the five-year-old’s prospects at Ruakaka today. The Shinko King gelding will resume in the White Cliffs Timber Handicap (1200m), in which apprentice Tina Comignaghi’s claim will reduce his impost to 58.5kg. “He’s still got to carry a bit of pudding and first-up he could be a bit vulnerable,” said Pam Gerard, who trains the five-yearold with Michael Moroney. - NZME

Missed outing concern Time between races is the only concern jockey Damian Browne has about the Nigel Tiley-trained Megablast’s chances in Saturday’s Listed Caloundra Cup (2400m) at the Sunshine Coast. “He will be suited by a wet track, but it has been a month between runs,” he said. Browne is riding on a stay pending his appeal against a two-month ban for his handling of beaten favourite Fighting Teo three weeks ago.

In brief

■ SIR PATRICK HOGAN

More honours for breeding icon Sir Patrick Hogan’s services to the export sector have been acknowledged.

He has been awarded the Exporters’ Champion award at the 2018 Air New Zealand Cargo Export New Zealand Awards.

“Sir Patrick has been a true leader in the development of the New Zealand thoroughbred export market, setting the standards from which many vendors now aspire to,” said New Zealand Bloodstock managing director

M8

Andrew Seabrook, who accepted the award on Sir Patrick’s behalf.

“His significant sales achievements at Karaka under the Cambridge Stud banner have seen him sell in excess of $260 million in horses over the last 40odd years with a considerable number having been exported to Australia, Europe and South-East Asia.

“There is no doubt he has played a significant part in making the New Zealand thorough-

bred one of the most sought after on the planet.”

New Zealand Bloodstock also topped the shortlist at the awards, having achieved finalist status in the Best Large Business category.

“We’re focused on delivering returns to the New Zealand thoroughbred industry, an area we are always looking to grow, and the export market plays a large part in that equation,” Seabrook said.

Kennett suspended Waimate-based Junior driver Josh Kennett has been suspended from driving for more than four months by the Judicial Control Authority (JCA). Kennett admitted a charge of driving incompetently after the horse he was driving at Forbury Park, Wandering Star, raced in an incorrect gait (pace) for approximately 1350 metres.

At the enquiry, Kennett said he was embarrassed by the error and could not understand how he made such a mistake. Wandering Star, trained by Alistair Lowe at Tinwald, is by The Pres and had raced 58 times prior as a trotter, never as a pacer.

THE SHARP END

In brief Top goal scorers Players from the Premier League and the Spanish league scored nearly half of the goals at the World Cup in the group stage. Of the 122 goals in the 48 matches so far, 31 came from players in England’s top league and 29 from players in Spain. Four other goals came from players on teams in those country’s second division.

The Premier League has two of the top scorers: Tottenham striker Harry Kane with five goals for England and Manchester United forward Romelu Lukaku with four for Belgium.

- AP

To win or not to win England barely seemed troubled by losing. Belgium appeared to be a reluctant winner. Such was the curious conclusion to the group stage at the World Cup yesterday.

There was good reason for neither to even want to win. Belgium did collect the three points, beating England 1-0, and secured first place in the group on Adnan Januzaj’s shot. But that might not turn out to be the desirable outcome since the victory diverted Belgium onto the tougher path to the final. “I don’t think you can plan the ideal scenario,” Belgium coach Roberto Martinez said. “You have seen big nations coming very close to elimination, or already eliminated.”

- PA

Neymar will be a vital cog for Brazil if they are to progress to the big final at the World Cup in Russia.

The thunder-clapping Icelanders have gone home, along with the Egyptians and Peruvians.

Now comes the business end of the World Cup, a European- and South American-dominated club that rejects most new applicants as unwanted hoi polloi.

The group stage is the crossroads of cultures, a mixture of multitudes filled with happiness and hope.

Then comes the knockout stage, where soccer’s powers pump their pecs and the blue bloods almost always prevail.

Ten European nations reached the round of 16, matching 1998 and 2006 for the most since 11 in 1990, the record since the current format began in 1986.

Four South American teams have advanced, plus Mexico and Japan.

For the first time since 1982, no African team made it past the first round.

History is instructive: Europe earned 41 of 64 quarter-final berths and South America took 16 since 1986.

Among the other regions, Africa and CONCACAF got three apiece and Asia one.

Winnowing to the inner sanctum becomes even more pronounced after that: Europe filled 23 of 32 semi-final spots and South America eight, with South Korea in 2002 at home becoming the only outsider to reach the final four.

Among 20 previous World Cups, Europe has lifted the trophy 11 times and South America nine.

Germany’s departure was the biggest group phase jolt.

Projected by many as the first repeat winner since Brazil in 1958 and ‘62, Die Mannschaft became the fourth champion in five tour-

naments to exit early.

FIFA has favoured the bottom of the bracket with far easier travel, with the Russia-Spain winner headed from Moscow to a quarter-final in Sochi, then potentially a semi-final and the final in the capital.

The Colombia-England winner in Moscow goes to a quarterfinal in Samara, then would be on track to finish at Moscow.

SECOND ROUND France v Argentina, Sunday 2am, SKY Sport 4 Lionel Messi & Co. was on the verge of elimination before Marco Rojos’ 86th-minute goal against Nigeria. With an average age of 26, France is among the youngest teams, led by dynamic 19-year-old striker Kylian Mbappe.

At 31, this likely is Messi’s last chance for the World Cup title he needs to match Diego Maradona in the minds of many Argentinians. While Argentina struggled, France must awaken from a somnambulant group-stage finale against Denmark.

Uruguay v Portugal, Sunday 6am, SKY Sport 4 Cristiano Ronaldo, like Messi a five-time FIFA Player of the Year, has four goals in the tournament leads the European champions against a Uruguay team known foremost for the bite marks Luis Suarez left in Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini four years ago.

Uruguay is the least-populous of the round of 16 teams.

Spain v Russia, Monday 2am, SKY Sport 4 World Cup hosts outside the

football powers usually perform better than expected.

Russia should have huge support at Luzhniki Stadium, making it closer than the 10th vs 70th matchup in the rankings.

Andres Iniesta, who scored the goal that won Spain’s first World Cup title in 2010, remains on a rebuilt roster that struggled defensively in the group stage.

Croatia v Denmark, Monday 6am, SKY Sport 4, live on Prime Tottenham past vs. Spurs present, with Luka Modric leading Croatia and Christian Eriksen sparking Denmark.

Croatia was among the most impressive group-stage teams, beating Nigeria, Argentina and Iceland by a combined 7-1.

Brazil v Mexico, Tuesday 2am, SKY Sport 4 El Tri fans hope for the elusive “quinto partido” – to reach a World Cup quarterfinal for the first time since 1986, which was on home soil.

This is their best chance in years, with an attack led by Javier Hernandez and Carlos Vela.

Center back Hector Moreno is suspended for yellow-card accumulation.

Brazilian players are trying to atone for the 7-1 humiliation against Germany in the semi-finals at home four years ago.

Philippe Coutinho has become as important to the Selecao attack as Neymar.

Belgium v Japan, Tuesday 6am, SKY Sport 4 Belgium was among three teams to go 3-0 in group play, joining Croatia and Uruguay, and No. 61 Japan will be a heavy underdog against the third-ranked Red Devils.

World Cup villain?

PHOTO AP

Star forward Romelu Lukaku started the World Cup with consecutive two-goal games but missed Belgium’s group-stage finale with an ankle injury.

If Belgium advances, it would be in what appears to be the more difficult part of the bracket, lined up against Brazil or Mexico in the quarter-finals, then France, Argentina, Uruguay or Portugal in the semi-finals.

Sweden v Switzerland, Wednesday 2am, SKY Sport 4 In its first World Cup in the post-Zlatan Ibrahimovic era, Sweden is looking to get past the round of 16 for the first time since finishing third in 1994.

Swedish midfielder Sebastian Larsson is suspended, as are Swiss defenders Stephan Lichtsteiner and Fabian Schar.

Switzerland is led by midfielders Xherdan Shaqiri and Granit Xhaka.

England v Colombia, Wednesday 6am, SKY Sport 4, live on Prime Harry Kane, whose five goals lead the World Cup, head a young England team that finished group play without a shutout for the first time.

Los Cafeteros, led by James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao, advanced over Senegal on a fair play tiebreaker based on fewer yellow cards and were the only team to reach the round of 16 after losing their opener.

Rodriguez’s calf injury is a concern after it forced him out in the first half Thursday.

By losing to Belgium, England faces what appears to be an easier path: Sweden or Switzerland in the quarter-finals, and Spain, Russia, Croatia or Denmark in the semi-finals.

- NZME

There’s a strong argument to be made for the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo might be the devil. Heck, he isn’t even trying to hide it. He openly flaunts his superhuman abilities. He’s seemingly impervious to the effects of ageing. And during this tournament, he appears to have grown a goatee for the sole purpose of goading Lionel Messi (who with his beard and stoic commitment to his cause is the closest thing football has to a biblical figure). Add to this Ronaldo’s massive ego, his bouts of petulance and that cheeky wink, and you have the perfect World Cup villain. - AP

Brazil’s real key player Philippe Coutinho’s sorcery is of the subtle kind. There are few Neymar-esque pyrotechnics in his armoury and few of the barrel-rolling dives in which his foil in canary yellow indulges under the slightest contact. There is simply a level of sustained, understated excellence that has prompted Kaka, no less, to describe Coutinho as the “protagonist”, the pivot, the one figure Brazil cannot afford to lose. One might even call it a Jagger-Richards dynamic, where Neymar assumes all the front-of-house primping and preening, while Coutinho keeps the rhythm section rumbling along in the background.

- AP

Mina the man Towering Colombian central defender Yerry Mina scored for the second straight match to send his side through to the knockout rounds, the first time the South American nation has done so at consecutive tournaments. Not surprisingly, it was a header from which Mina netted (four of his five goals for Colombia have been headers), rising majestically at the near post to power home the only goal of the game before setting off to lead the celebrations. - AP

In brief

■ CYCLING

Scully latest Tour starter Tom Scully is the latest Kiwi confirmed for the 2018 Tour de France, joining Patrick Bevin, Jack Bauer and Dion Smith on the startline next week.

This equals last year’s record number of Kiwi riders in the three-week race.

All four will be deployed as workhorses in their respective teams for their general classification hopes and sprinters, but selection from wider team rosters to make the final cut is a major sign of talent and form.

Getting a ride in the Tour de France is considered the pinnacle of professional cycling.

Whereas Smith’s GC team-mate Guillaume Martin is a distant hope for the top place, the other three will be locked in an intriguing battle to support their team leaders.

Bevin’s Australian BMC leader Richie Porte has high hopes this will finally be his year, after crashing out in 2017.

Jack Bauer will be working to support in-form Briton Adam Yates at Mitchelton-Scott and Scully will be in the service of the 2017 runner-up Rigoberto Uran of EF Education First-Drapac.

Smith, riding in his second consecutive Tour, is the one Kiwi most likely therefore to be let off the leash to try his luck at a stage win in a breakaway group.

- NZME

Hodge not finished yet The value of Luke Hodge’s leadership to Brisbane’s AFL cause will be further underlined as they adjust to the loss of key defender Harris Andrews, coach Chris Fagan says. Vice-captain Andrews is set to miss at least the next two weeks, and possibly more, after copping an elbow to the face last weekend from GWS forward Jeremy Cameron. In the absence of Andrews, however, Hodge stepped up and produced a game Fagan said was as good as any in his career to date.

- AAP

Crows keep it simple Adelaide coach Don Pyke hopes a return to basics will help his team break out of their worrying form slump and propel them to an AFL finals berth. The Crows’ finals hopes are hanging by a thread following four straight losses.

Adelaide might need to win seven of their remaining nine matches to secure a finals spot.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Your words and actions follow your heart. To work on changing your speech and movement will be arduous. But you can change your heart in an instant, and all your words and moves follow from there.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): There are many ways to tackle destructive emotions, none more effective than dipping into the spiritual aspects of you – in the sense that your spirit is beyond these temporal feelings.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You have been known to keep secrets from yourself, but then there are other parts of you that aren’t so great at this, and they’ll needle and nudge and hint today until all of you really gets it.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The challenges are too big for one person. But the biggest challenge of all isn’t solving the problem; it’s learning to ask one another for help and humbling ourselves to accept it. The biggest challenge is cooperation.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): When you’re around people who don’t see your many facets, it doesn’t make you smaller, but it might make you feel smaller, especially if their presence makes you forget about the many, many other sides of you.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Relationships take work, and someone always does more of it. It’s not necessarily the one who cares more. More likely, it’s the one who is stronger and more able – more adept at showing love.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Anyone can be compassionate toward those they already love. Arguably that’s not really compassion. Compassion is the kind of love employed when its object seems, for whatever reason, unlovable.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Homer wrote in The Iliad, “Whoever obeys the gods, to him they particularly listen.” Certain relationships (but not all!) are best begun in obedience. Today, it sets things off in a promising direction.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Every relationship that has stood the test of time has good and bad things about it. Disagreements and disappointments have come up. That’s part of it, and if not, it’s not a real relationship.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Humour represents a meeting of minds and sensibilities. It represents shared joy and shared suffering.

The humour you share with your loved ones is a special and sacred thing. Enjoy.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Happy people help others.

People who help others are happy. You’ll find this to be true, as you are drawn to lend a hand today and you get a joyful lift in the process.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): When you were younger you felt it necessary to distinguish yourself, to stand out for your individuality and to know the ways in which you were special. But now you’re more focused on universal values.
