THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY

Thrill builds over $14.4m

BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Lotto outlet dubbed Ashburton’s luckiest has done it again – this time selling a ticket worth a whopping $14.4 million.

The ticket – which won $1 million from Lotto First Division and $13,395,864 from Powerball First Division in Saturday night’s live draw – was not claimed as of last night and the Mid Canterbury rumour mill was kicking in to high gear.

It’s the biggest single prize ever won by a ticket sold in Mid Canterbury.

Apart from the winner, the next most excited person in town about the win was the owner of the outlet where the winning ticket was sold, Graeme Moodie at Lotto at Countdown.

“I was shaking like a leaf and I didn’t even win it,” he said.

He knew the jackpot had been won, but had no idea he and his team had sold the winning ticket until he arrived at work yesterday.

“I checked online to see if it was won and that was that. I didn’t worry any more about it until I got to work (yesterday morning) and there was a guy waiting at the door to tell me,” Mr Moodie said.

visit at lunchtime yesterday, Mr Moodie was still in shock and had been fielding calls from media around the country all morning.

Mr Moodie’s outlet has sold more than its fair share of winners, but the biggest single win he’d experienced until this weekend was $3.3 million. That was won by a 24-year-old local man who came in-store to check his ticket.

“He just came in and said ‘I think I won’. The first thing he said was that he was going to get his car fixed, but his mate said he could just buy a new one,” Mr Moodie said.

Saturday night’s win blows all of the district’s other wins out of the water.

Statistics released to celebrate Lotto’s 25th birthday in 2012 revealed that Lotto at Countdown was Mid Canterbury’s luckiest, and the 10th luckiest in Canterbury.

Of the 20 first division winning tickets sold in Mid Canterbury in the first 25 years of Lotto, 11 had been sold by Lotto at Countdown.

Those tickets though, were worth just $6,679,144.30 altogether – less than half what Saturday night’s single winning ticket was worth.

Rockers release more tickets

Fans of the Eagles and Rolling Stones who missed out on tickets to the bands’ Mt Smart Stadium shows have another chance. Another 6000 seats are being added to the venue for the concerts by the veteran rock acts. They are in the upper south stand at the other end of the arena from the stage.

Tickets for the seats are $165.55 for the Stones show and $148.30 for the Eagles. The Stones are playing a one-off show at Mt Smart on November 22, having postponed their Australasian tour in March following the death of Mick Jagger’s girlfriend, fashion designer L’Wren Scott. The Eagles are playing at the stadium on March 14 and March 15 next year.

Some 34 per cent believe that Johnson - who announced this week that he will seek to return as an MP at the general election - should be the next Tory leader. The YouGov poll for The Sun on Sunday found he was 19 points ahead of Home Secretary Theresa May, while Chancellor George Osborne was third favourite with just nine per cent. Johnson was even more popular among Conservative supporters, with 50 per cent backing him as the best candidate to take over.

Dispute over selfies Monkey see, monkey do. But when a monkey takes a selfie, who owns the copyright? A series of self-portraits taken by Indonesian monkeys has sparked a copyright dispute between Wikipedia and a British wildlife photographer, who wasn’t amused that the popular images are being used for free.

Photographer David Slater has complained that Wikipedia rejected his requests for the images to be removed from the website. He said he owns the copyright to the images of crested black macaque monkeys, which were taken in the Indonesian jungle in 2011. Slater told the BBC that although the monkeys pressed the button, he had set the self-portraits up by framing them and setting the camera on a tripod.

Tiger grabs woman A tiger snatched a woman and disappeared into the surrounding mangrove forest in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal, an official said.

The woman, her husband and a boat driver were trying to catch crabs in a shallow river near the Pirkhali Forest when the tiger jumped on her and dragged her into the wilderness, said forest official Nabin Chandra Bahunguna. After the husband reported Friday’s attack, forest guards searched for the woman, but as of Saturday had found no trace. The area where the attack occurred is in the Sunderbans, India’s vast and tangled mangrove forest where the Ganges River empties into the Bay of Bengal. It was the sixth tiger attack this year in the Sunderbans, where environmentalists say shrinking habitat is forcing tigers to venture farther in search of food.

■ ASHBURTON’S $14.4M LOTTO WIN

Graeme’s parting gift

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s Graeme Moodie is leaving the Lotto business on a high – with a $14.4 million prize to an as yet unknown player under his belt.

The operator of Lotto at Countdown for the past 11 years, Mr Moodie is finishing up with the outlet after Countdown decided not to renew his lease. He has less than two weeks left of selling tickets before the change takes place.

While he was sad to be leaving a job that had given him so much joy over the years, he couldn’t think of a happier note to end on.

Mr Moodie’s outlet has for years been known as Ashburton’s luckiest outlet.

Statistics released as part of Lotto’s 25th anniversary showed it was Ashburton’s luckiest, selling 11 out of the district’s 20 first division winning tickets to that point. It was then the 10th luckiest Lotto shop in Canterbury.

Mr Moodie’s clientele is varied; there’s a lot of locals, but he also sees a lot of people passing through.

“We get a lot of people just passing through. I had a couple of Australians through the other day and they came back to see if they were to win, if they could claim it,” Mr Moodie said.

He’d love for the latest winner to be a local. Whether that person would bring their ticket in-store to check it, remained to be seen.

The biggest winning ticket Mr Moodie had sold up until this weekend was $3.3 million, and that was claimed in-store by a 24-year-old local man.

The latest win may be big for Mid Canterbury, but it’s not this year’s biggest. In February a player from Auckland took home $26.2 million In June, a Powerball jackpot was won by players in Hastings and Kumeu who took home $13.2 million each.

“This is a spectacular run of winning for Lotto players,” said Lotto NZ’s head of corporate communications Emilia Mazur.

A Lotto player from Wellington was also celebrating after winning $1 million with Lotto First Division on Saturday night, but Strike was not struck and jackpotted to $600,000.

What would you do with $14.4m?

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Anyone who bought their ticket from Lotto at Countdown should write their name on the back of the ticket and check it immediately at any Lotto outlet or online at mylotto.co.nz.

Players can phone Lotto on 0800 695 6886 if they want to enquire about the best way to claim a prize.

Graeme Moodie was holding his breath with every ticket checked at the Lotto at Countdown counter yesterday.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 100814-TM-093

A boat, a car, a house, a round-the-world trip… the possibilities of what to do with $14.4 million are endless.

So, what would Mid Cantabrians do if they were to win the jackpot like one lucky Lotto player did just by buying a ticket for Saturday night’s Lotto draw from Ashburton’s Lotto at Countdown.

That’s the question the Guardian posed to its Facebook followers yesterday and the responses we got were varied. Many said they’d buy a house, others would go on a big holiday and some would send their parents on an overseas holiday.

Others thought outside the square.

“A giant Schnauzer and a life style block for him and others,” one said.

“An alias,” another said.

There were thoughtful suggestions.

“A spa pool for my friend who has cancer.”

And logical ones.

“First thing I’d buy would be a pen and pad to write my resignation letter on, then go travelling.”

Another person suggested buying $14 million worth of Lotto tickets and building even further on the windfall.

To put the amount of money won on Saturday night in perspective, Mid Canterbury’s median household income was $63,100; Saturday night’s winner made roughly 22 times that amount thanks to a few numbers lining up in the right order.

If the winner wanted to buy a house, they could buy around 44 of them at the current median house price in Mid Canterbury, of $321,402. Or they could buy a pretty decent farm, with the median price for farms currently being around $26,500 per hectare, or $33,500 for a dairy farm.

If it’s space someone’s after they could invest in the former Tuarangi Home, which is still on the market with an asking price of $1,250,000 plus GST. Or they could pop down to Gluyas Ford and get themselves a top of the line Ford Territory for around $60,000.

■ SOCIAL HOUSING SOLUTIONS

In brief

Homeless ‘need to stick around’

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

People living rough while looking for long-term housing solutions need to stick in one place and be assessed, says Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew.

Mrs Goodhew said she often heard of single males seeking accommodation but there was difficulty finding long-term solutions. Many ended up temporarily in camping grounds.

“They do need to stick in one place and get themselves assessed as being a serious housing need and stick around until something comes up,” she said.

“I’m not saying they should

be sleeping in their cars, but they should be exploring all options.”

Mrs Goodhew’s comments followed the Guardian highlighting the plight of Ashburton man John Tully who is currently living on the streets in Ashburton.

The Government had expanded options for private social housing and offered money to support social housing trusts with their projects.

“They tend to build a community and keep in touch with the people in those options and a sense of pastoral care that continues to happen. It’s more

■ ASHBURTON HERITAGE CENTRE

community focused,” she said.

Mrs Goodhew said the Government wanted to encourage other players besides Housing New Zealand (HNZ) and district councils.

“It’s so we can have social housing by other providers,” she said.

It included the Abbeyfields concept, which put older people into flat-type situations.

Mrs Goodhew said HNZ held seminars for people to work through other options when social housing was not available to them.

She understood it was “tight out there” with accommodation

even before the earthquakes and especially for single men.

“It doesn’t happen quickly but HNZ will work with people on the options they’re looking for, and guide them,” she said.

Ashburton District Council offered pensioner housing but had no plans to get into social housing.

Mayor Angus McKay thanked the agencies who had already helped Mr Tully, who was in need of accommodation in town.

“This is one of those very difficult situations that arises occasionally in our society,” he said.

■ FUNDRAISING CONCERT

Race against time for fit-out

Police are again warning people not to leave valuables in cars after a handbag was stolen from a car in Ashburton early yesterday morning. The car was parked outside Ashburton McDonalds and police said it appeared the window may have been left down.

Man assaulted A man from Dunedin was assaulted on Tancred Street at 2.55am on yesterday morning. He was taken to hospital for observation.

Drink-driving charge A 17-year-old man was picked up by police for drink-driving at 12.20am yesterday. The teenager returned an excess breath alcohol level of 244mcg/l.

Fire brigade call-outs The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade attended two medical assist call-outs over the past three days. One was to a Wellington Street address at 4.40pm on Saturday and the other was to a Hugh Street address shortly after 5pm on Friday.

Alarm activation The Methven Volunteer Fire Brigade was called out twice on Saturday. They were called to an alarm activation on Racecourse Avenue at 4.40am and then to a chimney fire at a house on Colcord Place at 7.20pm.

Ashburton’s art gallery and heritage centre’s fundraising team has a big target – to raise $756,250 before their new West Street facility can open its doors.

The money is needed to buy furniture and fittings for the new art and history centre and while $520,000 has already been raised, the committee is in a race against time to have display areas fitted out and sound and light systems installed in time for what is anticipated to be an early October opening.

Last week the committee made a plea to the Ashburton District Council to bridge the funding shortfall. All up, the two organisations need $1,206,250 for fixtures, furniture, equipment and a sound and vision system, with the money raised and equipment bought, installed and tested before opening day.

The council has already handed over $450,000 towards the fit-out, with the remaining money to be raised by the funding committee through grants, donations and pledges. To have the centre fully operational from day one, the committee said equipment needed to be ordered now because installation needed an eight-week lead-in.

The council debated the option of funding the $67,000 shortfall for furniture, fittings and equipment and lending the art gallery and museum trust $95,000, interest free for one year so it could buy sound and vision equipment.

We should look positively at the request, councillor Don McLeod said, because the trust wasn’t asking for a hand-out, just a helping hand. Stuart Wilson said he could support the extra $67,000 but not the $95,000 loan. He wanted to see final costs before approving any additional funding.

While the trust might be looking at repaying the loan by securing grants from the Lion Foundation or the Mid South Canterbury Trust, this was unlikely to happen if the council stumped up the cash, mayor Angus McKay said.

“I’m not against the new facility, but I will vote against the recommendation,” he said.

Mr McLeod defended the request and said the fundraising committee understood the $95,000 would be a loan, not a gift. Councillors did not follow their mayor’s lead and voted to make the funds requested available.

Gorse hedge fire The Hinds Volunteer Rural Fire Force was called to a small fire in a gorse hedge at a Winslow Westerfield Road property shortly before 2.30pm on Saturday. The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade’s tanker was called to assist.

Showcasing the Cook Islands An island spectacular wowed the crowd at the Tinwald Memorial Hall on Saturday night. Mid Canterbury’s Cook Islands church community put on a fundraising concert which involved not only dancing, singing and drumming, but also a Cook Islands feast for all who went along. Pictured interacting with the crowd during the two-hour show was Keedin Huriwai. The show was also about showcasing the Cook Islands culture; something the group of around 42 performers plans to do a lot of. The group – ranging in age from primary school children to adults – plan to take their show on the road next month to several North Island locations.

■ HYBRID RUBBISH COLLECTION

Rubbish scheme gets green light

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The hybrid rubbish collection scheme proposed for Ashburton has been given the thumbs-up by recycler Wastebusters.

At Thursday’s Ashburton District Council meeting, councillors signed off a new collection scheme that will offer residents a wheelie bin for recyclable material, a green crate for glass and the choice of a bag or wheelie bin for rubbish.

Earlier this year the council surveyed residents on kerbside collection options which ranged from the status quo to a Rolls-Royce choice that included a bin for organic waste. While many people liked the idea, most did not want to pay the extra costs that came with the organic collection and composting option.

Most wanted change, supporting an option that had wheelie bins in the mix.

The council’s answer was the hybrid system that combines bins with a bag option and this will now go out for public consultation.

“I think we’ve come up with a good option where people have choice. We’ve

tried to be fair to people who don’t have much rubbish so they won’t have to pay extra for a bin,” service delivery committee chair Stuart Wilson said.

Just because the council hadn’t gone totally down the path of wheelie bins, that didn’t mean the bags would be a forever solution, he said.

“The proposed system will allow us to keep pace with changes in waste management that are increasing opportunities for recycling.”

Estimated costs for the scheme are likely to be $2.30 per bag or an estimated targeted uniform annual charge of $137 per year for the wheelie bin service based on 60 per cent of households taking up this option. The recycling bin is estimated to come with a $152 targeted uniform annual charge The consultation document will be delivered to homes around the district and can be picked up from the council’s Baring Square office and the Ashburton Library. Residents will have until September 9 to make submissions either online at www.ashburtondc.govt.nz or in writing and delivered to the council office.

Round up up a a FORD KUGA Round ■ ASHBURTON COMMUNITY POOL Round up a Round up a Deal Fieldays Hot Deal Fieldays Hot Fieldays Hot Hot Deal Deal Centre under council umbrella Fieldays Ashburton’s community pool has been run by a board of volunteers since 1999 but that board will soon be out of a job as the Ashburton District Council takes over its management and operation.

As the part of the council’s drive to bring agencies and activities back under its control, it has struck a deal with the pool’s board that it goes out of business on October 1.

When the board was established its job was to promote the community pool and to encourage swimming and water activities in the district. Its members came from the council, the Ashburton

Swim Team, Ashburton College and the Principals’ Association.

The pool is living on borrowed time and will go out of business when the EA Networks Centre, complete with a new aquatic centre, opens next year. It is the council’s intention that the aquatic centre will be run under the council umbrella.

There is likely to be a transfer of staff from the old complex to the new.

Rather than wait until the new pool opened to make the change, the council is making the management change early to ensure an easy transition for staff.

■ HAKATERE HUTS

Owner’s dump charges reimbursed Fed up with waiting for his house to slip into the sea, an owner of one of the six condemned baches at the Hakatere Huts settlement decided to demolish his property himself.

Since then, contractor Greg Donaldson has offered to demolish the baches with the Ashburton District Council offering to waive dumping charges for the demolition material.

At a meeting last week district councillors decided the owner of the already demolished property shouldn’t be out of pocket because he was proactive in removing his bach. They voted to reimburse his $581.80 dump fee bill. Owners

will have to pay a disposal fee for any asbestos found in the baches.

Mr Donaldson will demolish the baches in early September but owners have just three weeks in which to accept that offer. And it’s an all or nothing deal.

The demolition has been forced after erosion has scoured the cliffs on which they are built to within a few metres of each house. Landowners had an option of rebuilding at the rear of the settlement, but only two are considering this.

In May the council put the bach owners on notice they had three months to leave their homes or they would risk eviction.

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE BARISTA COURSE

■ STATE HIGHWAY 77 DETOUR

Expect delays between Methven and Ashburton If you are travelling between Ashburton and Methven next week, it may pay to add an extra 10 minutes onto your trip time.

State Highway 77 just south of the Reynolds and Pole Road intersection, will be closed from Monday for at least four days, while two large irrigation pipes, part of the Ashburton-Lyndhurst ir-

rigation scheme, are placed under the highway.

While work is under way, that section of the highway will be closed, with traffic diverted along Pole Road and Springfield Road East.

The New Zealand Transport Agency is warning motorists to take extra care when using the diversion that will involve local roads.

Making coffee on campus

BY TONI WILLIAMS

TONI.W@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A handful of Ashburton College tourism students have been learning the art of good coffee in a barista course on site. The course had been run over the past few years in partnership with Aoraki Polytech.

The polytech provided the coffee machines, stored at the college.

Each year, for one day a week, over three weeks, barista students opened a coffee shop window in the middle of the college campus where other students and staff could order hot beverages.

Tutor Pauline Blunden, of Aoraki Polytech, said the students had been working through

workbook theory but were also taking and making orders. The mini coffee shop was open during intervals and over lunch time.

The minimal cost covered milk and other supplies.

Ms Blunden said the students covered all the basics of being a good barista from coffee bean treatment, and temperature effects to cleanliness and organisational skills.

They also learned how coffee beans released their flavour, causes of deterioration and adjusting the grinder and bean handling and storage.

It was a three-day programme although other students who wanted extra help could return during breaks.

“They’re thrown in to get used to pressure,” Ms Blunden said.

And the popularity of the drinks, at a great price, had kept the barista students busy - they had taken 45 orders – mostly for hot chocolates – by midday on the day the Guardian visited.

Ms Blunden said there were different levels of confidence among the students.

Some were stronger at theory and others were stronger at the practical coffee making.

However, the sessions gave them a chance to work on both areas.

The students will be in training with reduced priced hot drinks again at the college on Wednesday. It will be their final session.

■ PERFORMING ARTS SCHOLARSHIP

The US beckons Hannah

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@Theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton dancer Hannah Wakelin has international opportunities within her grasp after being talent spotted last month at the World Championships of Performing Arts in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

She has won a one-year scholarship to study at prestigious performing arts school Brockus Conservatory, just out of Los Angeles. It was a dance and musical theatre high school and was one of two scholarships offered.

But she has also been noticed by Performance Arts in Australia, who want to include Hannah in their Australian open team headed for Los Angeles in December.

The 13-year-old has four medals from her time away.

Two were individual medals won at the international talent show, a second-place silver for her self-choreographed dance routine and an Industry Award in recognition for her potential in the performing arts industry.

Hannah was also a member of the Kiwi team to win a Team Spirit Award medal – the first New Zealand team to do so.

Hannah was the youngest member of the 14-strong team.

As well as her dance performances, she also sang on stage.

There were hundreds of singers, dancers and jugglers from around the world for the eight days of the competition to perform and show their style in the annual event. They had one minute to showcase their skills in front of more than 100 entertainment industry judges looking for talent.

The New Zealand team had only met the week before the event and had just three practices before taking bronze.

They danced and sang to Kiwi singer Lorde’s song Royale.

In the competition, there were six categories of competition - dancing, singing, modelling, acting, instrumental and variety arts.

Hannah was chosen to be part of the medal ceremony in a musical theatre piece from Mama Mia and enjoyed the experience.

It was directed by Justin Kopplin.

Over the course of the competition Hannah performed five individual dance routines and two songs in the talent competition, plus the team events and additional performances.

The opportunity to study in the US was a dream come true for the young dancer.

“I want it to happen but if it did happen I will be a bit nerv-

Tongariro fall A woman was airlifted from Tongariro National Park after seriously injuring her back in a fall. Ambulance spokesman Norm Ngatai said the woman in her early 20s was picked up from the Iwikau medical centre by the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter about 2.40pm yesterday. She was flown to Waikato Hospital with serious back injuries. Mr Ngatai said it was not known what the woman had been doing or how she fell.

Shooting arrest Police investigating two shootings in Manawatu on Saturday have arrested a 28-year-old Feilding man. The man will appear in Palmerston District Court today. A 35-year-old man suffered a minor wound to his hand and was treated at Palmerston North Hospital, after the car he was driving was shot at on Makino Road on Saturday night with what police believe was a shotgun. The man is in a stable condition awaiting surgery on his hand. Police believe the incident was related to an earlier shooting at 11am on Saturday, when a firearm was discharged at a house on Oakley Street in Palmerston North, Detective Sergeant Dave Thompson said.

“A dispute between two groups has escalated to a point where an innocent member of the public has been caught up in the middle of it. It’s with a huge cup of good luck that we are not dealing with a homicide.

Scrub fire Helicopters were last night battling a scrub fire on conservation land near Lake Lyndon in central Canterbury. The fire off Lyndon Road was reported about 11.10am yesterday, a fire communications spokesman said. The Department of Conservation battled the fire with two helicopters.

A young man has died after his car hit a power pole in the Hawke’s Bay at the weekend.

The crash occurred on Te Mata Mangateretere Road in Havelock North near the intersection of Te Mata Road at around 4.20am yesterday. On arrival emergency services found the male was deceased, police said.

Orcas in Manukau ous,” she said.

Hannah’s success has given parents Joanne and Craig Wakelin some sleepless nights as they work through the logistics and cost of study in the United States. Not to mention sending their youngest child so far away from their protection, and home.

“It’s at least 24 hours away, if something’s not right,” Joanne said.

She said the scholarship was for one year and unbelievably started later this month.

It gave them just weeks to have questions answered and get everything sorted.

They wanted the best for their daughter, and no regrets down the track, so were prepared to investigate the option with an open mind. That included whether it could be deferred a year.

Joanne said there were other Kiwis from the New Zealand dance team that would also be in the vicinity and there were chaperones and house mothers at the school.

Regardless of whether or not the scholarship was accepted the Wakelins said “it was an honour to receive”.

And for Hannah, it could be the just the start of better things to come.

Manukau residents had some special visitors on Saturday, when a large pod of orcas came into the harbour. Justin Mayer, who lives nearby, said residents were greeted by the orcas at around 5pm on Saturday. Around a dozen or so had come into the Waiuku Channel just south of Clarks Beach, he said. Mr Mayer, who has lived in the area for two years, said this was the first time he had seen orcas right on his doorstep.

Lotto winners need a plan Stu Oldham

EDITOR

I

am willing to bet $31 that you did not win Lotto’s $14.4 million Powerball first division prize on Saturday.

If you did, I would be very happy to settle my bet in person. We have plenty to talk about: I have a few ideas to help you spend your money.

Do not get me wrong – I do not want a handout, I want to talk about making the most of your windfall.

I have experienced windfalls.

Our family ticket won $31 on Saturday – just about enough to make me forget months of losses.

But you will not be trying to forget how much you have spent on Lotto, you will be planning what to do with your new life.

First up, you should go to work today. If you are reading this on a flight to Lotto’s Wellington office, you will have some explaining to do when you get home.

You also need to work out how to let everyone know what it is like to win so much money.

Here is an idea – you should call the Guardian.

Keeping your win quiet is also an option, albeit a difficult one. After all, this does not happen every day and most of Mid Canterbury is curious.

I would also hire someone to track down Trevor Cooper, the Huntly checkout operator who won $26.5 million in 2012. He can tell you what not to do.

He surprised everyone when he said too much about himself and his win. He went into hiding when people started begging him for money.

That is why you should hire someone to answer your phone.

They can keep track of all your many new best friends while you sort out what to do next.

So, what next? Pay debt, reconsider you job, take a holiday – and collect $31 from the local newspaper editor. * The small print: The $31 bet will be made in one payment only and will be split if the ticket is held by a syndicate.

I

n an episode of the Simpsons, inept attorney Lionel Hutz asks “can you imagine a world without lawyers?” to which he shudders at the thought of people from all nationalities, races and religions dancing in a field beneath a rainbow. A bit far-fetched, perhaps, but in reality the Disputes Tribunal is a way for people to resolve disagreements and lawyers cannot be involved in the proceedings.

To take a matter to the Disputes Tribunal there must actually be a dispute which means the tribunal cannot be used as a method of recovering debts which are duly payable.

Disputes which can be heard by the tribunal commonly include sub-standard work, the amount invoiced for goods and services, damage caused to property, failure to return borrowed property, issues between neighbours such as fencing matters. The tribunal cannot be used for disputes as to rates,

Matt Marshall A POINT OF LAW

taxes, social welfare benefits or ACC payments, parenting matters, relationship property, wills and estates, or the ownership of land. The Disputes Tribunal has jurisdiction where the amount claimed is $15,000 or less (or $20,000 if both parties agree).

To initiate a claim to the Disputes Tribunal you can get assistance from a registrar at the District Court or, if you are computer-savvy, you can now complete and submit your application online. There is an application fee which is on a sliding scale. Presently a claim of less than $2000 will cost $45, claims which are $2000 or more but less than $5000 cost

$90 and claims of $5000 or more cost $180.

A hearing in the tribunal is presided over by a decisionmaker known as a “referee.”

The only involvement that lawyers can have in the process is to assist the parties with preparing their claim or defence although in almost all cases assistance from a lawyer is not necessary.

The referee will hear from the parties with the applicant usually giving their version of events first. If either of the parties have witnesses they can also be heard by the referee. If the referee thinks they need more information or to hear from another person they have the power to adjourn the hearing and call for an independent report from an investigator which is at no further cost to the parties.

The outcome of a hearing will either be by way of agreement between the parties or by a decision made by the referee,

both of which are binding on the parties and can be enforced in the same way as a court order. The scope for appealing a referee’s decision is limited meaning that the outcome of the process gives the parties some finality.

In most cases where the amount disputed is low, involving lawyers is not sensible as legal fees could easily end up eclipsing the amount claimed.

The Disputes Tribunal is a cost-effective method of resolving disputes and provides those involved with a final resolution.

This article is necessarily brief and general in nature.

You should seek guidance from your legal advisor before taking any action related to the matters raised in this article.

In brief Runner dies A man competing in Sydney’s City to Surf race has died after collapsing near the finish line.

The 27-year-old went into cardiac arrest at Bondi Beach just before 11am yesterday. “He passed away at the hospital, shortly after arriving,” a St Vincent’s Hospital spokesman told AAP. The man was reportedly from the beachside suburb of Coogee. More than 80,000 people took part in the 14km race from the Sydney CBD to Bondi Beach - by way of the infamous “Heartbreak Hill”. - AAP

Iranian plane crashes A small Iranian passenger plane crashed yesterday while taking off from an airport near the capital, Tehran, state media reported. The country’s state-run news agency said 40 people were feared killed in the crash. The aircraft, an Iran141 jet typically used for short domestic flights, crashed near Mehrabad airport, in a residential area. Iran has suffered a series of airplane crashes, blamed on its aging aircraft and poor maintenance. Many of the Boeing aircraft in state-run Iran Air’s fleet were bought before the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, which disrupted ties with the US and Europe.

Japan awash A tropical storm was moving out into the Sea of Japan on yesterday after lashing the country with rain and winds, leaving one person dead, more than 50 injured and prompting evacuation alerts for about 1.2 million residents near swollen rivers.

Tropical Storm Halong disrupted land and air traffic as Japan began its annual Obon Buddhist holiday week.

The storm-hit Japan was also shaken yesterday afternoon by a magnitude-6.1 earthquake that struck off the northeastern coast near Aomori. There was

no danger of a tsunami, and no damage or injuries have been reported. The Nuclear Regulation Authority said nuclear facilities remained intact.

Originally a typhoon, Halong was downgraded to a tropical storm as it approached southwest coast and made two landfalls — over Shikoku Island and Hyogo prefecture in western Japan. It was on track to exit into the Sea of Japan from the northern coast near Kyoto, and further lose strength in the next 12 hours.

Japan’s Meteorological Agency issued the highest alert for

heavy rain in Mie prefecture in central Japan, prompting two towns to order about 570,000 residents to move away from swollen rivers. Another 600,000 people were advised to evacuate across the country. Some of the evacuation advisories in western Japan were later lifted as the storm moved farther north.

In Iwate, northern Japan, a 78-year-old man was found dead late Saturday after plunging into a swollen irrigation canal at his farm. In Miyazaki, southern Japan, a woman in her 70s broke her ankle as a portable toilet booth fell on her while

she was walking by.

Japan’s public television NHK said 52 people were injured.

More than 200 flights were canceled, stranding thousands of holidaymakers at airports around the country. The rainstorm also flooded some 330 homes and damaged 70 others in western Japan.

The storm, packing winds of up to 100km/h, was expected to dump 30cm of rain in central Japan today. The meteorological agency warned of landslides and floods, and predicted heavy rain and strong wind in Tokyo and northern Japan. - AP

Borders closed as Israeli no-show Ebola spreads wider threatens talks The battle to contain the deadly Ebola outbreak continues, after Nigeria appealed for volunteers to help halt the spread of the virus but Guinea went back on a statement it was shutting its land borders with two of its neighbours.

A day after the World Health Organisation declared the epidemic an international health emergency, countries as far afield as India were scrambling to impose measures to prevent contagion of the virus which has claimed almost 1000 lives.

The UN health agency stopped short of calling for global travel restrictions, but some countries on Saturday began imposing bans.

Zambia announced that it was

denying entry to citizens from countries hit by the virus, while Chad suspended all flights from Nigeria.

Nigeria along with Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia are the hardest hit countries by the epidemic, which the WHO has called the worst in four decades.

Authorities in Lagos, the largest city in Africa’s most populous country, said they needed volunteers because of a shortage of medical personnel.

The city, home to some 20 million people confirmed nine cases of Ebola, including two deaths. Guinea closed then reopened its land borders with neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone to avoid clandestine border crossings.

Palestinian negotiators have warned they will leave Cairo if their Israeli counterparts do not show up for truce talks, after Israel pummelled Gaza with fresh air strikes that killed at least 10 Palestinians.

Negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza were expected to resume in Cairo today with an Israeli delegation scheduled to arrive in the city, where a Palestinian team and Egyptian mediators are waiting.

But an Israeli official told AFP that talks cannot take place until Palestinian rocket fire comes to a halt.

Militants slammed 25 rockets into Israel on Saturday, amid mounting calls for a new ceasefire to halt fighting that

has left nearly 2000 Palestinians dead in the last month, along with 67 on the Israeli side, mostly soldiers.

Two more rockets were fired at Israeli territory yesterday, while the Israeli air force carried out 17 more raids, an army spokeswoman said.

Palestinian negotiators warned they would leave the Egyptian capital if no Israeli delegation showed up.

Britain, France and Germany have urged Israel and Hamas - the Islamist movement in de facto control of Gaza - to agree to an immediate ceasefire.

A Hamas leader, Mussa Abu Marzuq, warned that the next 24 hours would be crucial. - AP

Anger over shooting The shooting of a black teenager sent hundreds of angry residents out of their apartments in a predominantly black Missouri city in a confrontation with police that lasted several hours. They shouted obscenities and some threats, such as “kill the police,” but there were no reports of additional injuries.

The teenager’s grandmother, Desiree Harris, saw the 18-yearold recent high school graduate running near her home Tuesday when she passed him in her car.

Minutes later, she found his body on the street — fatally shot by a police officer.

Surrogate crackdown Surrogacy Australia says it knows of up to 200 would-be Australian parents caught in Thailand’s planned crackdown on commercial surrogacy, but the number may be higher. Spokeswoman Rachel Kunde said the organisation could only estimate the total amount because some were outside its network, including the West Australian couple at the centre of an international surrogacy drama.

Ms Kunde said the couple, who are accused of leaving their baby daughter’s twin brother Gammy, who has Down syndrome, in Thailand with the surrogate mother, did not use Surrogacy Australia’s services.

Tour bus plunges A tour bus has plunged into a Tibetan valley after hitting two vehicles, killing 44 people and injuring 11. “The 55-seat bus carrying 50 people fell off a 10-metre-plus-high cliff after crashing into a sports utility vehicle and a pick-up truck,” China’s official news agency Xinhua reported. Another five people were in the other vehicles in the accident, which happened on Saturday in Nyemo County, west of the capital Lhasa.

In most corners of the world, an Ashburton person can be found. So the Guardian’s Erin Tasker decided to track some of them down. This week it’s Sarah Kelly (nee Smith) who met and married a nice Englishman and made a home in his homeland.

The world on Sarah’s doorstep F

or Sarah Kelly, the best part about living in the United Kingdom is the copious travel opportunities right on her doorstep.

Being so close to so many European countries it’s easy to go away for a long weekend abroad, and that’s something that she and husband Russ try to do when they can.

Sarah lives in England on the Wirral peninsula - in a village called Heswall - with her husband, who is originally from the Wirral. It’s in North West England and bounded to the west by the River Dee, forming a boundary with Wales, to the east by the River Mersey, and to the north by the Irish Sea. Wirral has an approximate population of 320,000 and Heswall is similar to a small town in New Zealand, Sarah said. It’s not too different from home; it’s surrounded by farmland and is an affluent area.

For a farm girl from Mid Canterbury, being surrounded by farmland and a smaller, friendly community is perfect.

Sarah met Russ while he was living and working in New Zealand in 2008. He was playing rugby for Celtic and they later moved to his homeland, where they got married late last year in a small ceremony with family present. They returned to New Zealand earlier this year to celebrate their marriage with family and friends.

Back in the UK, Sarah works as a credit controller at the Chester Racecourse, while Russ is now a qualified air supply diver.

“Up until a few months ago he worked on a four weeks on and four weeks off rotation on a vessel in the North Sea,” Sarah said. Now, they get to spend a lot more time together, something that pleases not only Sarah, but also the couple’s dog Ash. When they’re not working, there’s no shortage of places to go and things to do.

“We walk our dog along the beach most weekends, visit the local restaurants and bars with friends and go shopping in Liverpool,” Sarah said.

Getting back to New Zealand isn’t something that can be done easily. It’s a long way to go, and it’s expensive. So when they do journey home they make the most of it.

They visit friends and family, and travel around.

Their most recent trip home was in May and every time she’s home, Sarah can’t believe how the town is growing and how fast the population is increasing.

“I loved Ashburton growing up, as it’s where most of my extended family were and friends. That’s

Ashburton abroad with Sarah Kelly in the UK

something you take for granted when you’re young.”

It hits home once you’re so far away though.

“Growing up in Mid Canterbury was great. I didn’t appreciate it at the time.

“I look at some of the kids here and some don’t even have a back yard and I think how lucky was I to grow up on a farm with pet lambs and calves and to have all of that space.”

She misses her family – particularly her mum Karen, dad Roger, twin sister Anna and younger sister Megan – and her friends.

“And warm and sunny Christmases and hot summers, and Chit Chat, Squiggles and Mallow Puff biscuits, Gold Rush ice cream and L&P,” she said.

The UK is home for now, but the couple aren’t ruling out New Zealand featuring in their future again somewhere.

“Due to Russ’ job we could almost live anywhere, so we may be back in New Zealand in the future,” Sarah said.

For now they’ve loving being so close to some amazing destinations in Europe, one of the many good points of living on the other side of the world.

“Also the central heating in the winter – I love it,” she said.

“And the motorway system and the national rail service.”

The worst part though is the long, cold and wet winters which bring with them very limited daylight hours.

Most of all though, the hardest part is being so far from New Zealand.

■ JAPAN

Ishigaki latest Asian hotspot

P

laneloads of tourists arrive every day but few holidaymakers visiting Ishigaki are New Zealanders or Australians.

Back home, friends inevitably ask where I’ve travelled. When I reveal I had a great time in Ishigaki they readily admit they haven’t heard of the place.

A former schoolmate even exclaimed incredulously: “IshiWHERE?” But tourism to the city is fast-growing, boosted by a new airport in the place of a smaller facility.

Ishigaki is the number-two city – on a beach-fringed isle of the same name – in Japan’s furthest-south prefecture, Okinawa.

It’s often described as the only tropical part of Japan – though many who’ve been consider it sub-tropical, much like Queensland’s Gold Coast.

Residents commonly refer to the rest of Japan as “the mainland’, happily ignoring the fact they’re discussing an island nation, and Japanese newcomers are called “immigrants”.

Okinawa, with 1.4 million people, is a crescent of three adjoining archipelagos stretching almost 1000kms from Japan’s southern extremity.

One of this trio is the Yaeyama Islands, with Ishigaki as commercial hub.

Closer to Taiwan and South

After hearing about the latest Asian holiday hotspot, Chris Pritchard decided to see what all the fuss was about.

Korea than to Tokyo, Okinawa receives most of its tourists from these two countries surpassed only by domestic visitors from Japan itself.

Surveys suggest Japanese travellers consider Okinawa more “exotic” than some foreign destinations.

Besides Australians, visitors from Europe and the Americas are also thin on the ground.

However, this is no sunsoaked backwater – despite the palm-lined streets.

Okinawa’s capital Naha, on Okinawa Main Island, is a modern mid-size city bisected by a 12.8km monorail.

Okinawa is best-known as the scene of a bloody World War Two conflict, with the Allies triumphing over Japan.

Few have even heard of Ishigaki. Smaller than Naha, Ishigaki has excellent highways putting key attractions within a half-hour’s travel from resorts ranging from ultra-luxurious to bare-bones basic.

Many travellers do no more than laze by the pool or on one of Ishigaki island’s beaches.

Some spend time diving, snorkelling, swimming and kayaking along jungle rivers or island-hopping.

But I want to check what else is on offer. At Kabira Beach, for instance, I trudge across a white-sand expanse to join tourists aboard a glass-bottomed boat. We glide above a reef of colourful coral housing multi-hued fish.

At one spot, manta rays dart hither and thither. Reefs, among the world’s best, lure divers and snorkellers.

Kabira Beach anchors Ishigaki’s pearling industry and I pause at Ryukyu Shinju Company’s showroom to eyeball exquisite jewellery.

We drive on to Sukuji and Yonehara beaches; at the former hundreds of tourists sprawl on the sand while Yonehara is delightfully quiet.

My driver suggests stopping at nearby Uganzaki Lighthouse for panoramic views across a tranquil sea and along a strip of craggy coast. At Banna Park, a 400ha “green lung” near the city centre, a spectacular footbridge crosses an artificial lake (which is actually a reservoir).

It’s a gateway to forest paths which visitors investigate on rented bicycles or Segways.

Banna Park, renowned for many species of butterflies,

incorporates a Butterfly Museum with a large collection of Okinawan butterflies.

Back in the city I stroll through Ishigaki Market, where large numbers of elderly shoppers remind me that Japan has a greater proportion of mature-age citizens than most countries, a headache for planners. The market itself, like most in Japan, is neat: rows of colourful shops with a few stalls.

It’s time for dinner. Ishigaki, as elsewhere in Japan, becomes an after-dark dazzle of neon, with multitudinous restaurants and bars.

I’m advised to go to Penguin, one of Ishigaki’s most famous, where chefs showcase superb seafood on platters of sushi and sashimi – and top several dishes with garnishes of goya (bitter melon), a supposed “super food” rich in anti-oxidants that’s believed to contribute to Okinawans’ world-beating longevity.

Ishigaki’s cuisine incorporates more beef than in many parts of Japan. It’s often spiced with the restaurant’s homemade spicy sauces. Like many a visitor, I buy several bottles to take home.

Staying there: InterContinental ANA Ishigaki Resort (+ 81 9808 87111, ihg. com), terming itself Japan’s southernmost beach resort, is an opulent hideaway. But Ishigaki has many lodgings in all categories- including backpacker lodgings, ryokans (traditional inns) and home stays.

Playing there: Air and ferry services link Ishigaki with other islands - so it’s worth adding a side-trip. Okinawa, where karate originated, has many tourist-friendly martial arts schools. Okinawa Main Island attractions include Ogimi “longevity village” with some of the world’s oldest people, historic Shurijo Castle and Japan’s subterranean World War Two naval headquarters. Resorts arrange cookery and calligraphy classes. Islands worth visiting include jungle-clad Iriomote (where buffaloes “walk on water”, pulling tourist-laden carts through ocean shallows to a nearby islet) and Yonaguni (famed for diving).

■ NETBALL

Calculators put Hampstead on top

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Hampstead emerged on top of the premier netball pile after the final round came to a close on Saturday.

Celtic and Hampstead both recorded wins that resulted in a tie at the top of the table, and after the calculators came out Hampstead got the top seeding with a superior goal differential.

Earlier they had faced off with College, who had entered the weekend in a three way tie for first with Hampstead and Celtic, where Hampstead claimed the win 31-23.

Hampstead will meet Methven who finished fourth and will bring momentum into the knockout clash after beating Collegiate 32-19, claiming backto-back wins for the first time this season.

Celtic then dispatched United 24-18 to move ahead and await the result of the College A and Hampstead clash before the calculations were needed for the semi-final seedings.

Hampstead, with their handy margin of victory, were able to come out on top of the calculations while College now face the defending champions – a team they have taken down once already this season.

Hampstead coach Cindy Meadows was proud of her side’s efforts to finish on top, but knows they need to keep building.

“Whatever two teams make it through to the final will deserve to be there,” Meadows said yesterday.

“There is no easy way through the semi-finals.”

The semi-finals are the same matchups as last year, but Celtic were the top seed and College had finished fourth with Methven second and Hampstead third.

United miss out on the playoffs for a second straight season and will face Collegiate for fifth place.

There were upsets in senior A that also saw the calculators come out.

College Year 10A sealed top

spot with a 40-24 win over Allenton A after Methven B had upset Rakaia 30-25.

The win assured the Methven B side of finishing in third place and also denied Rakaia the top spot, setting the two sides up for an intriguing rematch in

the semi-finals contest.

College B were beaten 32-37

by Hampstead B but claimed the count back on goal difference between the two sides to finish fourth to meet their college counterparts on this Saturday’s finals day.

Allenton A tops off super season Tinwald South’s Sophie Bell (centre) is beaten to the ball by the outstretched Mollie Gibson of Allenton A during the senior A final on Saturday.

Allenton A completed an unbeaten season with a 33-14 win over Tinwald South A to be crowned the senior A champions in the Mid Canterbury Junior Netball finals.

Allenton couldn’t complete the double, with Allenton C going down to Hampstead B 13-39 in the senior B final.

Borough A beat Methven B 28-10 to take out Intermediate A with Hampstead B taking intermediate B with a 27-7 win over the Netherby Magic.

Southern stepped up in Junior A for a 10-7 victory over Wakanui, while the Netherby Diamonds won Junior B 18-4 over Longbeach B.

In brief Touring bowlers win View or purchase photos online guardianonline.co.nz

A combined Ashburton and Canterbury indoor bowls team were undone by the touring North Island team 30-18 in the tour opener at the Hornby Club in Christchurch on Friday night. The match was tight with the teams tied 16-all going into the last round before the tourist found their rhythm to take the round 14-2.

The team featured 10 Ashburton bowlers with Michael Lawson and Graeme Chapman’s triple team the only ones to win their tie.

They then travelled north to beat Marlborough on Saturday and yesterday beat Nelson 29-9. Today they meet the West Coast as they build towards the annual Inter Island match for the Kevin Eddy Memorial Trophy against the South in Timaru on August 16. Ashburton will be represented by Christine Talbot, Grant Wilson and Lawson in the South Island team.

Champions of the court Bragging rights for the next 12 months of Mid Canterbury Squash interclub were established at the Collegiate club courts on Friday night, as all four divisions found their champions.

In the division one competition the boys from Ashburton overturned a round-robin loss against Methven to take that title, while in division two it was Rakaia who did best, holding out a strong challenge from the Geraldine side

in what is always a particularly competitive grade.

The Celtic club proved itself to have plenty of depth as it took out the remaining two titles, with the division three and four pennants going their way, despite both their teams losing their number one players in the week leading up to the finals.

The division three runnersup were Methven 1, while Hinds filled that position in division four.

The interclub competition in the Mid Canterbury Squash catchment is widely recognised as one of the best in the country, with its eclectic mix of town and rural clubs, extensive age range and blend of both genders combining with a superb after-match camaraderie to produce a tournament that never fails to impress visitors to the area.

A total of 33 teams is spread over the four divisions, and with every team having a

squad of at least seven players to choose from, there’s a large number of squash players travelling to clubs from as far away as Temuka and Pleasant Point right through to Methven and Rakaia, and every club in between, reflecting the current strength of squash in this area.

The Geraldine club ran this year’s version of the tournament, and rated the finals night at Collegiate as good as any in recent times.

■ SAILING

Aleh and Powrie gather more gold New Zealand has added gold and bronze on the final day of Olympic sailing test event to scoop a four medal haul in Rio, Brazil.

Yesterday Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie finished fourth in the medal race and broke the three way tie in the Women’s 470 to secure the gold ahead of the British who had to settle for silver.

Meanwhile Paul Snow-Hansen and Daniel Willcox came from sixth on the leaderboard

to bag a podium finish on the final day with a medal race win.

With gold already awarded to Peter Burling and Blair Tuke in the 49er, and silver for Alexandra Maloney and Molly Meech in the 49erFX, yesterday’s results bring the medal tally to four for the New Zealand team.

The regatta, which acts as a trial run for the Olympic sailing regatta organisers, features the top sailors from around the globe in each of the ten Olympic classes.

Aleh and Powrie were delighted with the outcome of yesterday’s race, describing it as one of the most high pressure races they’ve sailed.

“It was a pretty tough race.

Sail by the seat of your pants, see what happens and keep hoping it will work out. We knew we had to beat both of them [Mills/Clark and Haeger/ Provancha] and be top five if the Austrians won,” Aleh told ISAF. “We always wanted to do well

but just had to beat those boats.

“Pretty early on, as we started we were in the middle of them and kept an eye on them. The Americans dropped back pretty quickly so it was just between us and the Brits.”

“Everyone found it stressful.

There was a lot happening.

“When the boys raced before the wind was a little bit more set but the wind had just changed.

It was one of the most unstable medal races we’ve done.”

Teneale Hatton has been the busiest competitor in the New Zealand team at the ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships in Russia this week and she celebrated that with a worldrecord performance in the K-1 1000m. Hatton claimed gold in 3:49.423 and after sitting third with 200m left she produced one final surge and won in record time by only 0.05s from Tamara Csipes of Hungary. “I am so stoked with the win and the time is an added bonus,” Hatton said.

In brief Bad start for A team Mid Canterbury A’s defence of the Hanan Cup got off to a losing start, going town to South Canterbury A 19-10. South Canterbury came from behind with 19 unanswered points to take the opening win in the tri-series that also includes North Otago A. The hosts led 10-0 after a try to Jake Ashby with a conversion and penalty from Josh Colgan with halftime approaching before South Canterbury scored an unconverted try on halftime. Three second half penalties then had South Canterbury move ahead by nine. The game was halted in the 75th minutes when several players were left strewn across the ground – with Mid Canterbury’s Tom Blyth and Ross McKay stretchered off while South Canterbury had a player walk off with a broken arm. When the match resumed Mid Canterbury were on attack but couldn’t come up with the consolation try.

Ferns exit World Cup The New Zealand women’s rugby team has been knocked out of the World Cup in France. The Black Ferns went into the tournament as defending champions, but a shock loss to Ireland in Marcoussis earlier in the week rocked their campaign. The loss to Ireland meant the Black Ferns’ fate was susceptible to other results in pool play. Going into yester’s action, six teams - England, Canada, France, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand - were in contention for semifinal spots, with New Zealand still able to make the playoffs as the best runner-up. But a 13-13 draw between England and Canada this morning ended their hopes. The outcome will be a bitter blow for the Black Ferns, who were looking to secure a fifth straight World Cup title.

Injuries for Wallabies Prop Paddy Ryan and uncapped winger Tom English have been added to the Wallabies Rugby Championship squad, with hamstring injuries set to rule out Laurie Weeks and Joe Tomane for the first two matches against the All Blacks. Both injuries are considered relatively minor, with Weeks and Tomane each expected to be out for two to three weeks. However, that would be long enough to rule them out of the Rugby Championship and Bledisloe Cup games against New Zealand in Sydney next Saturday and in Auckland the following weekend.

Reds scouting Fiji The Queensland Reds have launched a recruitment drive in Fiji as they look to rebound from a disappointing Super Rugby season. Operations manager and former Wallaby scrum-half Sam Cordingley, was scouting for talent on Saturday at the local league semi-final between Nadroga and Suva and said the Fijian’s natural attacking flair was a good fit for the Queenslanders. The Reds suffered a disastrous 2014 season in which they crashed to 13th in the Southern Hemisphere championship, just three years after being crowned champions.

Cordingley said he was working on returning the Reds to the top and Fiji was a good place to start. - AFP

Hammers lay down gauntlet

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury produced a scintillating performance to crush South Canterbury 61-29 in a pre-season match at the Ashburton Showgrounds on Saturday.

Two weeks out from the start of the Heartland rugby championship, the defending Meads Cup champions will likely start the competition as red hot favourites after the demolition of South Canterbury followed their shock win over Southland seven days earlier.

Considering the side also has eight potential starters still to return to action, coach Glenn Moore has reason to be a happy man.

He wasn’t.

“There were parts that I’m really happy about, with but others that weren’t up to par,” Moore said.

“Some of the baseline work is not good enough at this stage and we certainly have to shore that up.”

“In places we have shown we are back on par with where we were last year, but we’re not consistently there.

“Until we get that it will be a concern.”

It was the last hit-out before they open their Heartland campaign against West Coast in a fortnight giving the side four trainings and an “extended intensive session” this weekend to iron out some of the kinks.

Against South Canterbury Gary Redmond was the star of the show with a stunning first half, where he scored two tries and laid on another three, while also proving a handful on defence as the Hammers ran out to a 42-17 halftime lead.

Redmond scored the opening try and shortly after burst through the defence to set up Sam Houston for the first of his three tries, all courtesy of strong support play.

South Canterbury hit back with a converted try to Timaru Tafa before Dwayne Burrows scored the first of his three tries in an intriguing opening 20 minutes.

Redmond then made another bust and laid on a try for Seta Koroitamana, with Murray Williams kicking his fourth conversion to make it 28-7.

The Hammers switched off on the kick-off and South Canterbury got possession in good territory to go in again with a converted try to Matt Fetu.

Redmond was back at it with another bust, again finding Houston in support to score and Williams made it 35-17.

South Canterbury’s Ereimo Tau was then yellow carded for killing the ball with Mid Canterbury hot on attack and with the one-man advantage captain Jon Dampney scored the sixth try of the half, with Williams keeping his 100 per cent record for a 42-17 halftime lead.

Patient yet expansive buildup led to Burrows going in again soon after the break, but Williams was off the mark for the first time in the match.

He soon made amends when he put Houston away for his hat-trick, and the conversion made it 54-17 after 50 minutes.

Mid Canterbury rang the changes and lost some of their momentum, but Burrows was still able to complete his hattrick, and the Williams conversion had the Hammers up by 41 points with 20 minutes to play.

With Koroitamana in the bin in the final 10 minutes, for a similar offence to Tau’s in the first half, South Canterbury finished strongly with tries to Nick Strachan and Sekope Maea to give the score some respectability at 61-29.

It was a dominant display from the Hammers but with the target on their backs as the team to beat, Moore knows they still have room to improve.

How the enemy fared Mid Canterbury’s round one opponents West Coast went down to Buller 31-42 in the Seddon Shield clash in Greymouth on Saturday.

Buller will put the shield up against Nelson Bays this Saturday in Westport.

Mid Canterbury host West Coast on August 23 to open the 2014 Heartland Championship, and are set to meet Buller in Ashburton in round five on September 20.

Week four opponents Wanganui had a 35-34 win over King Country, while East Coast, who the Hammers meet in Ruatoria in round six lost to Eastern Bay of Plenty 5-19.

In brief

Final berth eludes Hampstead

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Hampstead missed out on direct entry to the Mid-South Canterbury women’s hockey final after a 0-1 loss to defending champions St Andrews in Timaru on Saturday.

In the major semi-final St Andrews scored the lone goal of the game from a penalty stroke in the second half, which was enough to take the evenly contested match.

“It was a great game and our girls played really well but were just a bit unlucky,” Hampstead coach Karen McIntyre said.

Hampstead get a second shot at making the final when they square off with Geraldine, who beat Craighead in sudden death strokes to advance from the minor semi-final.

Hampstead-Collegians lost to Timaru Girls for the second week-in-a-row, going down 2-0.

The young side will finish the season, one that has garnered an impressive three wins and four draws in their maiden season, as St Andrews hit-out opponents ahead of the final.

The men’s competition concluded their round robin where Wakanui Black finished the regular season with a 4-1 win

over Timaru Boys for a 15 win, one loss and one draw record to finish comfortably 19 points clear on top of the table.

In their latest victory the goals came from James Tavendale, Hugh Copland, Michael Bruce and Toby Thomas.

Black will now meet the Tainui side, the only team to have toppled the three time defending champions, in the semifinals.

Wakanui Blue slumped to an eighth straight loss going down to Cambridge 1-4, and will meet Timaru Boys in the wooden spoon match.

Hayden Sinclair scored the

only goal of the first half before Blue conceded four unanswered goals in the second half to succumb to an eighth straight loss in a row, but will be highly motivated to avoid a ninth.

“It would be overly depressing to get the spoon after we were in the finals last year, and we should have all hands on deck to avoid it,” Wakanui Blue’s Sam Moore said.

The bonus point win had Cambridge move ahead of Northern Hearts after they drew 2-2 Tainui, but the top two were always set to meet in the semi-finals.

Warriors hold out Shark attack

By David Skipworth The Warriors scraped home with a tense and scrappy win over an understrength Cronulla Sharks outfit in front of 13,939 fans at Mt Smart Stadium yesterday.

A dominant first half saw the home side register three tries with Ngani Laumape scoring a double and Manu Vatuvei also touching down, and Chad Townsend kicked two goals, while the Sharks managed a lone four-pointer to Tinirau Arona to trail 16-6 at half-time.

The Warriors were unable to add to their tally after the break, with basic errors and poor execution letting them down, while the Sharks produced a terrific defensive effort and narrowed the margin to four when Sosaia Feki scored to set up a nail-biting final quarter.

Injuries and fatigue contributed to the Warriors secondhalf fade, with rookie winger Tuimoala Lolohea (hamstring) and centre Dane Nielsen (concussion) both exiting, to leave captain Simon Mannering and fellow back-rower Sione Lousi to fill the breach in the midfield.

Cronulla had their chances to win the match, most notably when Pat Politini ignored an unmarked Michael Gordon with six minutes remaining, but the Warriors did enough to hang on and claim their first win over the Sharks since 2011.

The result moves them up into sixth on the NRL ladder, amongst a logjam of six teams locked together on 26 points, behind both the Cowboys and

Ashburton Guardian 19

Roosters and above the Storm, Bulldogs and ninth-placed Eels.

Coach Andrew McFadden did not shy away from his side’s patchy performance but credited their tenacity to tough it out for a vital win.

“It was a pretty scrappy win but two points is two points at this time of year and we needed to win and although it was a scrappy win we’ll take it,” he said.

“We were excellent there in the first half, our kicking game was outstanding, we put a lot of pressure on the opposition and we scored points off the back of that.

“The second-half, it was only small things but we just didn’t give ourselves an opportunity to compete.”

The Sharks were already missing a host of big names and lost talismanic skipper Paul Gallen to a virus on the morning of the match.

Wearing black armbands as a tribute to the late Alexander D’Aleo, a 23-year-old Sutherland Shire local tragically killed in Croatia last week, they put those set-backs aside to repel a fierce opening onslaught from the Warriors.

Effective set completions from both Townsend – also sporting a wristband paying homage to D’Aleo - and Sam Tomkins saw the hosts put together five consecutive sets before Laumape crossed out wide after six minutes.

The Sharks fought their way downfield where Arona managed to ground a bouncing ball ingoal, but two more repeat sets from the Warriors allowed Lau-

McIlroy leads tight race World No.1 Rory McIlroy burst out of a logjam of players late to take control after the third round of the PGA Championship, sitting well poised for a fourth major today.

McIlroy shot a four-under 67 to push out to 13 under for the tournament, good enough for a one-shot lead as he looks to win back-to-back majors and a third win in as many starts.

Austrian Berndt Wiesberger made a huge run up the boards with a 65 to be 12-under-par and into second place. American Rickie Fowler (67), who has finished inside the top five of the previous three majors of the year, including runner-up finishes at the US and British Opens, is just two back.

Dragons eye top four Penrith hooker James Segeyaro has put in a starring performance in his side’s 16-4 win over St George Illawarra that goes a long way to ensuring them a top-four finish. The victory at WIN Stadium in Wollongong on Sunday kept the Panthers in third with at least a fourpoint gap to fifth, although they face a tricky four-match run to the finals. There was nothing spectacular about the win as the Panthers ground out the result on the back of a superior possession and field position.

Roosters on thin ice

Feleti Mateo tries to get his offload going against the Sharks.

mape to run in his second.

After enjoying 66 per cent of the ball and a five-one penalty count, it was no surprise when Manu Vatuvei extended their lead with a try out on the left wing.

An ugly lifting tackle from Sharks prop Sam Tagataese forced Nielsen from the park early in the second-half, and the Warriors confidence took a knock as lethargy and disorganisation crept in.

Jeff Robson’s pinpoint crossfield kick found a leaping Feki for the Sharks second try but that was as close as they got.

“They’re a team that push you all the way and they did that tonight,” Mannering said.

“They scrambled really well and I thought a couple of times there they made clean breaks and our chase back was pretty good. Sammy did a great job at the back.

“With a couple of big plays there and guys working hard we got the two points. Pretty ugly but it still counts.”

Warriors 16 (Ngani Laumape 2, Manu Vatuvei tries; Chad Townsend 2 from 4 goals). Sharks 12 (Tinirau Arona, Sosaia Feki tries; Michael Gordon 2 goals) - NZH

Sydney Roosters back-rower Aidan Guerra has warned his team-mates about over-confidence leading into their crucial clash with the Gold Coast tonight. The premiers can force their way back into the NRL top four with a win over the struggling Titans at Allianz Stadium in coach John Cartwright’s final match in charge of the visitors. The tricolours have stumbled in recent weeks with poor losses to NRL cellar dwellers Cronulla and Newcastle and Guerra says they need to learn from those lessons against the Titans who upset South Sydney at ANZ Stadium five weeks ago.

Hayne gets Eels home Jarryd Hayne scored his 100th NRL try as Parramatta notched a thrilling come-from-behind 18-10 win over Canberra in Darwin on Saturday night. Hayne scorched across the TIO Stadium turf in the 72nd minute off a David Gower pass and raced 50m to touch down and put the Eels en route to their third successive win. The superstar fullback joins Luke Burt (124) and Brett Kenny (110) as the third Eel to notch three figures in four pointers.

■ PUKEKOHE

Early present for trainer Co-trainer Andrew Scott received an early birthday present when promising mare Tiger Moss scored a comfortable freshup victory at Pukekohe on Saturday.

For Scott, who prepares the mare in partnership with Lance O’Sullivan, it was a slightly bittersweet occasion in that his grandmother Mary Smyth was a coowner in the mare until her death a few months ago.

However he was delighted the daughter of Mossman had bounced back to form after showing plenty of promise earlier in her career.

“She had a good break after her summer campaign and has had a nice buildup over the past couple of months,” he explained.

“We weren’t too sure if she would handle the heavy conditions on Saturday but a number of horses by the sire seem to go alright in the wet and her work indicated she was ready so we were quite confident of a good showing.”

Scott was also pleased for apprentice

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Today’s New Moon is a Wishing Moon. With the laws of synchronicity in effect dare to believe that if you dream fate will meet you half way.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) The professional gods play their final wildcard today, putting everything on the table, whether that’s what you do or don’t want to see.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Falling in an adventurous part of your chart today’s Full Moon is what you need to ensure life doesn’t become all work and no play.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Sometimes you’ve got to trust that if you know what you want, somewhere, sometime and somehow you’ll make it happen, making it up as you go.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) In the early weeks of a major period of personal growth today’s Full Moon gives your relationships a voice. Pay attention.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Today’s Full Moon is likely to act as a trigger for all that has been set up and you’ve been working towards, with a need to let things unfold naturally.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) In order to remain committed to the professional path ahead life can’t be all work and no play, but also you’ve got to love what you’re doing.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Pay attention to work/life balance issues, especially those that could fly under the radar or go away if you stick your head in the sand.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Today’s Full Moon creates the potential for a communication breakthrough, especially if unsaid words have been stockpiling, not having an outlet.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Today’s Full Moon in your income sector could be a lucrative trigger, bringing income opportunities behind the scenes to a point.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) When there is a focus on your relationships, any tension today is a chance to ensure that your own needs aren’t being neglected.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) With the year only getting busier and even more professionally focused, make one last ditch effort to find a balance between work and play.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 090814-TM-159

Mid Canterbury flanker Gary Redmond dives in for one of his two tries, in a standout performance that saw the Hammers beat South Canterbury 61-29 in a pre-season clash on Saturday. It was a strong performance from the side to out-

class a Heartland Rugby Championship rival but far from their best, with Mid Canterbury coach Glenn Moore believing that, despite the 32-point thrashing of their southern neighbours, his team were far from hitting their straps. The class of

Redmond shone through in the opening 40 as the Hammers raced to a big lead by halftime, and were still scoring at a point a minute after 60 minutes before South Canterbury came home strong with two late tries.

■ BOXING

Parker stops Thompson to keep unbeaten record

BY PATRICK MCKENDRY Joseph Parker enhanced his reputation, despite being slightly out of sorts in his victory over Keith Thompson yesterday, but for fellow Kiwi Robert Berridge the overwhelming feeling was of an opportunity wasted.

Berridge suffered a setback in losing to Russian Vasily Lepikhin by way of a fifth-round knockout, the first time he has been stopped. The undefeated Lepikhin extended his record to

16 victories when knocking Berridge down three times.

Lepikhin has never fought out of Russia, but that merely increased the mystery. He appears to have a big future.

The crowd cheered at hearing Berridge’s “Butcher” nickname and very good record of 20 knockouts in his 24 victories, but he rarely took Lepikhin out of his comfort zone.

“I wasn’t aggressive enough, just no fire. I wasn’t on form tonight,” he said.

Interclub squash champs found P17

Parker, who fought before Berridge, said he wasn’t entirely happy with his third-round knockout of American Thompson.

“I felt flat in the warm up and the fight. I don’t want to make excuses, but it must have been the delay of coming over here,” he said.

An American voice from the crowd urged on “Smokin’ Joe” against Thompson and Parker delivered, a powerful left uppercut knocking him down and

a flurry of punches seconds later resulted in a referee David Franciosi stopping it 2min 41secs in.
