Nine Ashburton district councillors and mayor Angus McKay have between them scuttled the EA Networks hydroslide project – for now.

In the district’s long-term plan the council tagged the project for the 2016/17 financial year, committing to fund 50 per cent of the $2.7 million it would cost providing the Ashburton Stadium Trust raised the rest.

While a survey carried out last year gave overwhelming support for hydroslides to be added to the pool complex as soon as possible, when it came to submissions on the long-term plan, more people wanted the project postponed than wanted it built in 2016/17.

On Wednesday stadium trust chairman Maurice Myers said he was confident the trust would have its share of the money raised by the end of next year, but when it came to deciding whether the project should be in or out of the council’s short-term spending programme, those assurances carried no weight.

“They say the community wants it, but our feedback says no,” said council finance committee chairman Neil Brown.

Rod Beavan didn’t agree. The district’s young people had been asking for a hydroslide since the council held its first youth forum in the mid-1990s, he said.

“We’ve been telling them, it’s in the

mix, bear with us. The stadium is now open and we’re at a stage where, if we don’t do it now, it will never be done.”

That argument carried no weight with Stuart Wilson.

“I’m totally opposed. Who gives every kid everything he wants? I take on board that in three or four years’ patronage (of the pool complex) will fall off and we’ll have to revamp something. Put the hydroslides in then and it will be refreshed.”

While some councillors said the council could not afford the investment, Russell Ellis said it couldn’t afford not to do it.

Yorke writes 18-day long song Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has written a song which is 18 days long. The British rocker put together the innovative music piece, which stretches over 432 hours, for an art exhibition by Stanley Donwood, who has created all the band’s album covers since 1994.

The song, titled Subterranea, is the soundtrack to Donwood’s The Panic Office show, which is on display in Sydney, Australia, and features Radiohead’s cover art and band posters.

Yorke reportedly has no plans to release the track after the exhibition closes next month.

Chameleon owner acquitted Bovines mooved on

A judge has acquitted a Chicago man of animal cruelty charges filed after the man posted a video of himself smoking marijuana with a chameleon.

After viewing the video and hearing the arguments of prosecutors and defence attorneys, Cook County Circuit Judge Robert Kuzas ruled yesterday (NZ time) that Bruce Blunt’s behaviour was “uncalled for and immature” but didn’t rise to criminal behaviour. Blunt posted a Facebook video of himself smoking marijuana with the chameleon, Binna, earlier this year. That prompted a complaint from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. After his acquittal, Blunt said he blew smoke into the chameleon’s mouth because it seemed to calm the aggressive reptile.

The Chicago Tribune reports that Blunt said he hopes to get the chameleon back from Chicago Animal Care and Control.

The mysterious moos from Monckton Reserve in Hawke’s Bay have been traced to not one – but two – culprits. First it was believed to be a bull roaming in the reserve. Then it was thought to be a cow. But now it turns out it was a couple. A bull and cow have been reunited with their owner after spending a fortnight roaming the Monckton Reserve.

The Department of Conservation successfully removed the animals from the popular Central Hawke’s Bay site after waiting out a 14-day statutory period before taking action. The pair were removed late last week and returned to their owner, who was unaware they were missing.

‘Australia’s favourite lovechild’ The company which brought us such culinary innovations as the hot dog stuffed crust and the quesidalla pizza has taken fusion cuisine to an all new level, stuffing eight miniature pies into the crust of a pizza. Pizza Hut in Australia has teamed with Australian pie maker Four’N Twenty to create what what the two companies have dubbed “Australia’s favourite lovechild”.

“Aussies love pizza and we love pies, so in a world first we’ve brought these two legendary foods together in the crust, the perfect combination for the heart of the footy season,” Pizza Hut Australia spokeswoman Fatima Syed said. It follows Pizza Hut’s Crown Crust pizza, which was offered in the Middle East with cheeseburger and chicken fillet crust options, another Australiantargeted Doritos Crunchy Crust Pizza and the Chee-Zee Marmite Stuffed Crust Pizza released there for a limited time last year.

Pine for Wonder Woman?

The man who plays Star Trek’s Captain Kirk will reportedly star in another revamped retro franchise – Wonder Woman. Chris Pine is in negotiations to play the Amazonian superheroine’s love interest, Steve Trevor, in the upcoming Warner Bros flick, US industry journal Variety reports. Should he land the part, Pine would line up alongside Israeli actress Gal Gadot, who has been confirmed to play the lead role. In the original DC Comics story, Steve Trevor is a US spy who crashes during World War Two in the homeland of Amazonian princess warrior Diana.

Milk payout drops further

Text service scrapped

Methven Primary School principal Chris Murphy is frustrated after discovering Vodafone pulled the plug on a text service - without telling users.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 280515-TM-002

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

Schools have been left in the lurch after a text service used to communicate with parents was scrapped without warning.

Many Mid Canterbury schools use a free service that allows them to send messages to parents and caregivers about events, snow days, bus cancellations, and other important information.

People could sign up to follow the school on Twitter or Facebook and would then receive every alert the school sent out.

However in late March Vodafone pulled its support for the service without notifying users, leaving schools unaware that some parents were not being informed.

Methven Primary School principal Chris Murphy described the loss of the service as “a horrific pain”.

Mr Murphy said nearly all parents had subscribed to the service and it was the school’s main source of last minute reminders and cancellations.

“It was great, free service that we could rely on,” he said.

He said he’d struggled for months to get his head around who was not receiving the alerts and why.

“One of the biggest bugbears is when it stopped happening, we didn’t actually know,” he said.

“That was a big frustration.”

Vodafone has been removed from the list of supported mobile carriers on Twitter’s Help Centre page, while 2degrees and Spark still provide the service.

Mr Murphy said the Methven bus group also used the service to let people know if there had been breakdowns or delays, but the situation was now “a bit haphazard” as they didn’t know who was a Vodafone user.

He understood there were commercial providers who provided similar text services, but that would hit schools in the pocket.

“For us it’s $30 a month plus $60 every time we send something out,” he said.

Mount Somers Springburn School principal Brent Gray said the school had to upload contact details of up to 90 parents into a phone so a text could be sent out rather than relying on the service.

A Vodafone New Zealand spokeswoman yesterday said inquiries should be made to the social media organisations directly about their services.

However, a Vodafone New Zealand spokesperson recently confirmed to media that the texts were no longer being delivered because the social networks were not paying for the privilege.

Plug pulled on hydroslide From P1 “You have a group out there prepared to fundraise for it. In the future this group might not be there and then you’ll have to find all of the money.”

When they voted only councillors Darryl Nelson, Alan Totty, Rod Beavan and Russell Ellis supported keeping it in the long-term plan for 2016/17.

Their fellow councillors and Mr McKay voted to push the project out and revisit it when the long-term plan was reviewed in three years’ time.

For the stadium trust, Mr Myers said the decision to postpone the project was a bitter disappointment.

That decision put the trust’s future in doubt, he said.

“We’ll probably be in wind-down mode now. We’ll still need to sit down with the council and see what they think the future needs of the trust will be, but I see our only role now will be invoicing for the balance of money that’s pledged for the stadium.”

The trust has been in operation for 10 years, but it was unlikely to remain in place for three or five years for a fundraising venture that may never now be required, Mr Myers said.

“We gave this our best shot but they’ve made a judgement call and we have to accept their decision and move on.”

Dairy giant Fonterra could find itself on a collision course with its suppliers after the milk payout to farmers dropped a further 10 cents yesterday.

Mid Canterbury dairy farmer Neil Brown said the news was unexpected and it was very disappointing to learn the payout had dropped to $4.40 per kilogram of milksolids (kg/MS) three days before the season closes.

The news came less than a month after Fonterra revised its forecast milk payout down a further 20c to $4.50kg/MS. Combined with the previously announced forecast dividend range of 20-30 cents per share, fully shared-up farmers will receive a cash payout of $4.60-$4.70 a kg for the current season.

Fonterra also set an opening advance of $3.66kg/MS for the opening three months of the new season.

“To lose another 10 cents towards the end of May is unacceptable,” Mr Brown said.

“I think we should be looking very hard at the management of our company.”

Fonterra also announced the opening forecast farmgate milk price of $5.25kg/MS, bringing a ray of hope, but it’s early days yet, Mr Brown said.

“The forecast is what it is – it’s their best estimate, and it’s up on this year, so it’s a good sign it’s pointing in that direction,” he said.

A global oversupply of milk is one factor pushing prices down, and New Zealand has contributed to that with rampant growth in the sector, Mr Brown said.

“We are still converting farms. The (Fonterra) directors should be looking at that. Why are we building new plants and manufacturing facilities to process new milk, and spending a lot of capital money on processing milk which doesn’t have a very high value?”

Federated Farmers dairy chairman Andrew Hoggard said farmers would be stretched to manage cashflows through the low winter months.

“Fonterra’s advance rate of $3.66 isn’t scheduled to pick up to $4.17 until February 2016, for the milk produced in January,” he said.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Gym proposal ruled out

By Sue newman

Sue.n@theguardian.Co.nz

Buying the membership client base of the Gym Company might have represented a tidy exit package for its owners but it wasn’t a good deal for the Ashburton District Council, says group services manager Neil McCann.

Gym owners John Moore and Frank Connolly made a presentation to the council in April asking the council to buy its 395 member client base for its new gym at the EA Networks

Centre, saying that would allow the company to be dissolved and cease trading.

For the council, at $150,000, that did not represent a good deal, Mr McCann said.

“Council had to weigh up the benefits, costs and value of the proposal. Acquiring the gym membership client base was not seen to represent a prudent investment of ratepayers’ money and there was no guarantee those members would actually become members of the EA Networks Centre gym,” he said.

The proposal was made in a

■ RACISM CLAIMS

closed doors meeting in April, but the council has decided to make it clear to the public why it did not sign the deal.

“We decided not to purchase that membership because of the risks and the precedent it would set.

“If council had chosen to accept the offer, other gym companies could approach us with similar proposals and expect the same treatment.”

The purchase price did not include any assets and it did not include any guarantees.

Mr Moore has long been crit-

ical of the council for its decision to run the complex’s gym itself rather than offer the business to private enterprise.

He has claimed the council has created an uneven playing field for the district’s gyms through membership fees he says are too cheap. That has already cost him membership and staff.

The council decided to run the gym itself, following the lead of many other local authorities who used the gym in their facility as a revenue booster to reduce costs to ratepayers.

Mid Canterbury rugby coaches say they have witnessed nothing but good sportsmanship, as claims of racism in Canterbury rugby continue.

The Hampstead Rugby Club earlier this week filed an official complaint after being allegedly subjected to racial abuse in Rangiora during their Combined Country Cup match against Saracens last weekend.

The alleged abuse, first reporter in the Guardian on Tuesday, was laced with racial taunts that were too offensive to be published.

The outcome of the complaints process is yet to be announced.

Christchurch media yesterday reported Southbridge division one manager Chris McMillan as saying that he was aware of ongoing issues with racial taunts and violent threats directed at his team.

However, other rugby coaches around Mid Canterbury say they have not witnessed any similar racial abuse.

Celtic seniors coach Warren McKenzie said while he was aware of what was going on with the Hampstead team, he had seen nothing similar.

“Without talking to my players to see if they had experienced it, I would have to say no,” he said.

“We played Lincoln in the weekend and after the turmoil with Hampstead that every-

body had, I rang Ian Paterson to say what a fantastic experience we had playing against Lincoln.”

Mr McKenzie said the team were great hosts, and even though it was a tight game it was played with the “best sportsmanship ever”.

Methven seniors coach Dale Palmer agreed, saying he too had not been party to any racial abuse or taunts during his involvement with rugby in the district.

“From our point of view we haven’t see any of that, no.

“In all the games we’ve played, there’s been nothing that I would call racism, no.”

Race Relations Commissioner Dame Susan Devoy said being an athlete was tough enough, without having to tackle racist abuse as well.

“There is no place for racism in sport, we can’t expect officials to solve everything so we all need to have the courage to challenge abuse when we hear it,” she said.

A weekend of ploughing The lines have been drawn and the ground is looking good for a great weekend of ploughing, and two Mid Canterbury clubs are ready to turn the turf.

Hinds Young Farmers Club will start the ball rolling, kicking off at 10.30am tomorrow at Ian Lowe’s farm on Swamp Road.

As well as the usual vintage and reversible classes the clydesdales will be out in force this year, with both Colin Drummond, from Erewhon Station, and John Chynoweth showing how it was done in

the old days in the horsedrawn classes.

The big fellas will be back in harness on Sunday, this time at the Ashburton Vintage Machinery Club’s match, to be held on the corner of Beach and Christie’s roads, starting at 10.30am.

Two Australia ploughmen currently touring the country as part of a ploughing exchange programme will also compete at the weekend.

Both events are open to the public and entry is free.

A man accused of stabbing a woman to death and attempting to kill a man in central Auckland last week can now be named. Mandeep Singh appeared in Auckland District Court on Saturday and Monday and name suppression was extended twice to allow him chance to inform his family of the charges. Parmita Rani, 22, died following the incident at AWI International Education Group building on Queen Street on Friday, where it is understood the Manurewa woman had just sat an exam. Singh, charged with murder and attempted murder, will appear before the High Court at Auckland next month.

■ FIRE SERVICE REVIEW

Dunne outlines fire proposals

By Daisy HuDson

daisy.h@theguardian.co.nz

There was no shortage of frank discussion at a meeting between firefighters and Internal Affairs Minister Peter Dunne in Ashburton last night.

Mr Dunne met with firefighters from across the district to discuss the new Fire Service Review discussion document which was released for consultation on Wednesday.

It was one of the first of a series of meetings held with firefighters across the country to discuss the proposed changes.

Local firefighters had plenty to say about the proposals outlined in the document, with some questioning the need for any change at all.

Others raised concerns about the potential loss of experience and managerial skills if the service structure was changed.

Mr Dunne said the changes were not about fixing something that was broken, but the structure of fire services needed to be examined as they had not been changed since the 1940s.

There are three proposed options up for debate, ranging from making minor changes to completely overhauling the structure of fire services in New Zealand.

Option one proposes minimal changes

to the status quo and would provide more support for volunteers.

Option two would see a co-ordinated delivery of urban and rural fire services, while also establishing new rural fire districts.

The third option is the most drastic and would see the establishment of one national fire service.

That option would also mean local councils would lose their authority over rural fire services.

Hinds chief fire officer Dave Kingsbury argued that firefighters needed to be trusted to perform their duties and help where needed, regardless of whether they were in a rural or urban unit.

He told Mr Dunne that cutting out the “red tape” would encourage more volunteers to sign up.

Principal rural fire officer Don Geddes said one of his biggest concerns was ensuring firefighters were protected and had some authority at events other than fires.

He also said funding needed to be “tidied up”.

“We are sort of the poor cousin,” he said.

Mr Dunne said a tentative date for any changes to come into force was April 1, 2017.

■ WATER STORAGE

Irrigation kick-start welcomed

By Michelle NelsoN michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

A five-year funding kick-start for irrigation projects will be put to good use in Mid Canterbury’s latest proposed water storage project.

The Government committed to contributing an additional $25 million to the Irrigation Acceleration Fund (IFA) from the 2016/17 as part of last week’s budget. The IFA provides grants for feasibility studies to get a project to the investment-ready stage, Rangitata Diversion Race Management Ltd (RDRML) CEO Ben Curry said.

“Having central government acknowledge the importance of water infrastructure, for both the regional and national economy, is good news,” he said.

RDRML has recently floated a proposal to build a 30,000,000 cubic metre water storage facility on 240 hectares of land adjacent to the Rangitata River in the Ruapuna district.

The Klondyke Storage Pond, which comes with a $120 million price tag, would improve reliability for irrigators and provide opportunities for expansion.

“The extra funding is a great fillip for those of us who are try-

ing to get these projects off the ground, which is quite difficult.

It’s good to know the Government is prepared to support these projects,” Mr Curry said.

“The Minister (Nathan Guy) has been down here and seen the impacts of this summer’s drought.

“Projects such as our storage project on the RDR could potentially be a useful component in alleviating some of the problems and help facilitate getting water down into South Canterbury – but there’s a lot of work to be done to make that happen.

“For 70-odd years we have

point A to point B in an affordable manner.

“The bit that’s missing in all of this is the ability to store water and that’s what our proposal is all about.”

Federated Farmers spokesperson on water, Ian Mackenzie, said water storage for irrigation goes beyond drought relief.

“Building water storage and delivery infrastructure will give far greater reliability of supply for farm operations as well as provide opportunities for finding solutions to some of our environmental issues while providing for recreation,” he said.

Nando’s worker wins compo A Nando’s worker who was either not paid or underpaid for the six months he worked at the Christchurch restaurant has been awarded more than $16,000 in unpaid wages and costs.

Anil Tummuru started working for Khan Enterprises, which operated a Nandos franchise in Riccarton, in December 2013 and finished in June last year, an Employment Relations Authority decision said. The company accepted that during that time there were no wage or time records kept for while Mr Tummuru was employed - during which time he was training.

After his training, Mr Tummuru hoped to continue working in the company’s Ashburton franchise, the decision said.

He told the authority that when he was paid, it was cash, which amounted to just over $5000. One of the company’s directors, Mohammed Khan, said he was paid

$400 per week from the company’s till, but was unable to produce any proof of the payments.

Mr Tummuru said he worked 11 hours a day, six days a week, but Mr Khan told the authority he only worked 20 hours a week.

Authority member Helen Doyle said Mr Tummuru was vulnerable during this period of training having left another job to undertake the training and felt he needed to keep on side with Mr Khan for work at the Nando’s Ashburton store.

“His training was for the benefit of that company. He is entitled to payment for the hours he worked,” she said.

She calculated Mr Tummuru worked nine hours a day and worked six days a week. She awarded him $13,741 in unpaid wages, $850 for working public holidays and alternative days, $1597 holiday pay and $71 costs.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Committed to barrier arms

Ashburton District councillors are determined barrier arms will be installed at Ashburton’s North Park Road rail crossing, even if the council has to foot the bill.

As they deliberated on submissions made on the district’s long-term plan, they decided to revisit the barrier arm issue, remake their case for the New Zealand Transport Agency and put in place a back-up plan that involved finding the money for the work from council coffers.

Chris Bristol, whose nephew was killed at the crossing in July last year, made an emotional submission to the council on

day one of the long-term plan hearings for the council to revisit the installation of barrier arms.

After George Ellis was killed KiwiRail committed to installing flashing lights and alarm bells at the crossing. The council made the case for barrier arms to be added to the mix.

KiwiRail agreed and the project went to the NZTA for funding.

Council contracts manager Brian Fauth said the transport agency agreed to pay for lights and bells but refused to pay for barrier arms.

“They felt that half barrier arms were not good value for money.”

The refusal to fund was made

on the grounds that bells and lights had reduced the accident risk significantly, he said.

The barrier arms carry a $90,000 plus price tag.

Councillors were keen to revisit the barrier arms and mayor Angus McKay said the council should pick it up, go back to the NZTA and make a pitch for funding at some level, but be prepared to foot the bill itself if the answer was no.

“We do have a problem. We’re trying to sell sites in the business park and we had a very unlucky break with this tragic death so we need to do something about this. We want to attract new business and we want it to be a safe environment.”

Because of that, if the transport agency refused to pay, the council should be prepared to fund the work itself, possibly with a 50 per cent contribution from the business part account, he said.

“We have to put them in the plan and we just have to decide who pays for it. It will be done and it will be funded somehow.”

The council has made a bold but very appropriate decision on every front, a delighted Mrs Bristol said.

“I hoped they’d see that it was the best thing for the community so we don’t lose another life. I believe this is a priority for the district,” she said. “I’m absolutely thrilled.”

In brief Long-term plan news Cycling patterns While several submitters asked the Ashburton District Council to increase spending on cycle ways around the district, the council is putting this spending on hold while it reviews its cycle strategy.

It is currently in consultation with cycling groups and schools to find the impact of the new EA Networks Centre on cycling patterns.

Mapping project The council has decided to invest $9000 in a mapping project that is used by all of Canterbury’s territorial local authorities. Canterbury Maps is run by Environment Canterbury and being part of the scheme would mean the Ashburton District could become part of a region wide map.

Currently it is the only blank spot among maps drawn for 11 other local authorities.

Insurance saving The council has managed to save itself $15,000 for the next year on insurance.

‘A quiet man with a big heart’

Business estate

The man found dead in a Rotorua stream has been described as a quiet, loving man with “a really big heart”.

Richard Hoani Herekiuha, 43, was discovered in Otamatea Stream in Fordlands on Tuesday morning near Ruth Street.

Police said the last confirmed sighting of him before that was the previous Tuesday at his home in Fordlands. Police will not comment at this stage on the cause of death.

Mr Herekiuha was originally from the Eastern Bay of Plenty but moved to Rotorua last year.

A close friend, who wanted to be known by her first name, Renea, said Mr Herekiuha would be greatly missed by their group of friends who socialised together each week.

“We are shocked, we still can’t believe it and had been wondering where he’s been and why hadn’t we seen him,” she said.

“He was a simple man, very quiet but happy and loving and had a really big heart. He was very much a local of Fordlands.

“All of us got together each week, have couple of quiet ones and a barbecue. We used to call ourselves the ‘Balcony Boys’ because one of our mates has a huge balcony and we’d sit in the sun and catch up.

“I’m going to miss his smile, his laughter and his company, him being with us, that’s what I will really miss the most.”

Renea said Mr Herekiuha did not usually go near the stream.

Roading win

An extra $50,000 a year will be built into the council’s long-term plan to market the north east business park. The council has budgeted sales of at least $3 million each year, but to achieve this it needs to invest in marketing sections. The money will come from either section sales or the council’s property reserves.

The council has had a win with the extra $650,000 it plans to spend on maintaining the district’s roads next year. This money was initially unsubsidised, but the New Zealand Transport Agency is now providing a $48,000 subsidy, lifting the extra investment to almost $700,000.

Creating works of art from tape Ashburton Borough School pupils Madeline Tew, 6, (left) and Dimana Naydenova, 6, were lucky enough to be a part of the first school group to make their way around Ashburton’s new art gallery. Year 2 pupils from Room 6 were kept busy on their trip down to the Ashburton Art Gallery and Heritage Centre earlier in the week, as they designed their very own tape art. Class teacher Alice Czerski said it was a fabulous day and the children enjoyed making story book characters out of painter’s tape on the walls of the gallery.

Wasp turns up in chocolate bar A wasp has shown up in an unusual place - embedded into a bar of Whittaker’s Chocolate.

Wellington woman Casey Taylor posted an image of the insect that was found in a block of Whittakers Pear and Manuka Honey chocolate to the company’s Facebook page on Wednesday night.

Ms Taylor received the entire Whittaker’s range of artisan chocolate flavours as part of a birthday present from her

husband Andrew, who discovered the wasp when he snuck into her stash.

“Initially I thought, ‘oh, what is he doing digging into my birthday chocolate’ and then I realised he actually saved me from crunching into the wasp,” she said.

In a response on Facebook, Whittaker’s said the find was “very unusual”.

The chocolate was part of a new line of artisan flavours re-

leased by Whittaker’s recently.

Whittaker’s said they would be stopping the production of the product in question while they investigate what happened.

“We believe this is an isolated incident, but have taken the precautionary measure of halting the production line of this product, and immediately began investigating how it could have happened.”

- NZME

Ashburton’s branch of the Royal Forest and Bird Society believes the amount of work required on biodiversity in the Ashburton District requires the council to employ a professional biodiversity officer. Forest and bird members could then work as support for this person. Recognising the need to invest in biodiversity, the council has tagged $5000 in next year’s budget for wilding pine eradication.

Fairton School As a safety measure for students at Fairton School, the council plans to look at options around reducing speeds outside the school on Fairfield Road. This is currently a 70km/h zone, but a request has been made for speed limits to be reduced, possibly with the introduction of a flashing school zone sign that limits speeds to 40km/h.

Incorrect name A story in yesterday’s Guardian on a submitter to the Ashburton District Council’s long-term plan gave an incorrect name. The person submitting on cloth nappy education and an increase to the subsidy on disposable nappy collection bags for composting was Anthea Moore.

In brief

Officials ‘corrupted soccer’ In accusing soccer federation leaders of tarnishing the sport by taking $150 million in bribes and payoffs, US prosecutors laid out a sweeping corruption case that hinges on the testimony of insiders, including some who have agreed to co-operate in plea deals.

Prosecutors announced the racketeering conspiracy and other charges yesterday against 14 defendants – nine current and former officials with global soccer governing body Fifa, four sports marketing executives and an accused intermediary.

They also revealed four others had pleaded guilty in secret proceedings dating to July 2013.

It’s believed some or all are cooperating in the investigation.

The fact that some guilty pleas came almost two years ago speaks to how long authorities have been gathering evidence, likely some of it from those defendants, said Alfredo F. Mendez, a former federal prosecutor who now is a white-collar criminal defence lawyer.

A long time between a first round of pleas and their disclosure is “a signal that co-operation is going on”, Mr Mendez said.

Prosecutors sealed the guilty pleas so they wouldn’t “flag that there was an investigation going on,” said Timothy Heaphy, another former federal prosecutor and defence attorney.

US Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced the charges at a news conference packed with foreign journalists.

The US military accidentally shipped at least one live Anthrax sample to a commercial lab in Maryland but there was no public threat from the mishap, a defence official says. A Defence Department laboratory in Utah had “inadvertently” transferred the live Anthrax sample to a commercial lab and government health authorities were still testing other samples that had been shipped to laboratories in nine other states, the official said yesterday.

Same-sex marriage NSW Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby convenor Justin Koonin said it was becoming “increasingly untenable” for MPs not to implement marriage reform. The Australian Christian Lobby fears same-sex marriage will pave the way for legalising commercial surrogacy. Spokesman Lyle Shelton urged parliamentarians contemplating a change in marriage law to think beyond the slogans of equal love and marriage equality.

The charges were filed by the US attorney’s office in Brooklyn, which she ran before becoming a cabinet member.

The indicted soccer officials “were expected to uphold the rules that keep soccer honest and to protect the integrity of the game,” Ms Lynch said.

“Instead, they corrupted the

business of worldwide soccer to serve their interests and to enrich themselves.”

With soccer officials gathered in Zurich to elect a new president, seven of the US defendants were arrested there.

Six of those arrested were opposing extradition to the US, the Swiss justice ministry said,

without naming them.

Former Fifa vice president Jack Warner turned himself over to police in Trinidad.

He was granted $2.5 million bail but was expected to be held Wednesday night because of a processing delay. Warner did not enter a plea, but he denied any wrongdoing.

At least 19 dead in Texas flooding Homeowners dragged soggy carpet to the curb and mopped up coffee-coloured muck yesterday after a barrage of storms and floods in Texas and Oklahoma left at least 19 people dead and a dozen others missing.

More rain fell on the hardhit Houston area, temporarily complicating the clean-up a day after a downpour of nearly a foot triggered the worst flooding the nation’s fourthlargest city has seen in years.

Hundreds of homes were damaged.

Severe weather continued in other parts of Texas, with hundreds of people west of Fort Worth told to evacuate along the rising Brazos River and flash flood warnings posted in many areas.

This has been the wettest month on record for Texas, and there are still several days left.

The state climatologist’s office said yesterday that Texas has gotten an average of 7.54

inches of rain in May, breaking the old record of 6.66 inches, set in June 2004.

Texas has been hit with almost continuous storms for the past week to 10 days. The wettest area has been from DallasFort Worth to the Red River, where some places have gotten more than 20 inches of rain.

Wimberley saw some of the heaviest damage, including the loss of a two-story vacation home that was swept downstream and slammed into a bridge. Eight people in the home went missing, including three children.

The flooding in Houston affected virtually every part of the city. At least 2500 vehi-

cles were abandoned by drivers, and anywhere from 800 to 1400 homes were damaged, officials said.

Thousands of homes were also damaged or destroyed in the central Texas corridor that includes Wimberley – 744 of them in San Marcos alone, said Kenneth Bell, emergency management co-ordinator for San Marcos.

The death toll climbed to 19 – 15 in Texas, four in Oklahoma. Houston alone had six storm-related deaths.

The deaths included a man whose body was pulled from the Blanco and a 14-year-old who was found with his dog in a storm drain.

A NSW cyclist has died after being hit by truck in Sydney. The cyclist is believed to be aged in his 50s.

Witnesses reportedly tried to perform CPR, but he couldn’t be saved and died at the scene. The truck driver was taken to hospital for mandatory blood and urine tests, police said. The cyclist and the truck were both believed to have been travelling towards the city when the crash occurred near the intersection of Kent Road.

Students killed Seventeen Indonesian pupils are dead and five others injured after a truck carrying them to school overturned in western Sumatra.

The vehicle with about 30 students on board flipped into a muddy ditch near a palm oil plantation after one of its wheels came off, local police said yesterday. The age of the children involved is not clear. Most are thought to attend junior high school and high school, where pupils are typically between 12 and 18. “Seventeen students were killed and five were injured, including one seriously, after the truck overturned,” said a police spokesman. “One of the front wheels of the truck came off, causing it to overturn and roll into a ditch full of mud, about 2.5 metres deep.” The driver survived.

139 bodies in graves Malaysia says it believes 139 people are buried in graves at remote detention camps used by people-smugglers discovered at the weekend. “Based on the size of the graves, and after the area was cleared ... we have a clearer indication - single grave, single person,” Deputy Home Affairs Minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said yesterday. When asked if he believed there were 139 bodies since Malaysia had previously said it had discovered 139 grave sites, Wan Junaidi said “yes”. The minister said initial investigations showed the bodies were wrapped in white cloth.

Crocodiles return home to Cuba

Blues legend farewelled

Ten young female crocodiles born in Sweden are to be released in their parents’ former swampy home in Cuba after being returned to the Caribbean island.

The Skansen Zoo in Stockholm sent the reptiles to Cuba’s National Zoo in April to help encourage reproduction of the protected species native to the island.

Hiram Fernandez, a veterinarian at the Cuban zoo, says the reptiles will be released soon in Zapata Swamp, about 200km south-east of the capital.

Their ranks have been thinned by hunting and diminishing habitat. Fidel Castro in the 1980s gave the crocodiles’ parents, named Castro and Hilly, to Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Shatalov, who initially took them to Moscow.

A Dixieland jazz band walked ahead of a slow black hearse and a crowd of thousands followed as the city of Memphis said farewell to blues legend B. B. King with a tribute and processional down Beale Street.

The street whose name is virtually synonymous with the blues is where a young, exsharecropper named Riley B. King was nicknamed the Beale Street Blues Boy – later shortened to B.B. – and where King rose to fame.

The Memphis-based Mighty Souls Brass Band played “When the Saints Go Marching In.” Behind them and just ahead of the hearse, drummer Rodd Bland – son of the late blues singer Bobby “Blue” Bland – carried one of King’s signature “Lucille” guitars.

The huge crowd filled Beale Street and spilled down side streets as onlookers pressed in making cellphone pictures.

“This is history,” said Detroit resident Mary Springfield, standing at Beale and 3rd

OUR VIEW

Learn how to communicate

Stu Oldham

EDITOR

V

odafone is rapidly becoming an example of how not to treat the people who pay the bills.

Without fanfare, the multinational company has abandoned a free service that sent Twitter and Facebook posts as text messages to its customers.

So far, so boring – until it becomes clear just how much many local organisations, children and families had come to rely on the service for sometimes crucial communications.

Many Mid Canterbury schools have been using the copublishing service to communicate with their communities.

Class information, cancellations – all manner of things became real-time updates for children and their parents.

But from March, teachers and principals began to notice many parents – well, parents with Vodafone accounts – were not getting the messages they were sent. By this week, after some sleuthing by Methven School principal Chris Murphy, it was clear why.

It is worth noting this was a free service and that Vodafone is under no obligation to spend its own money, or lose potential revenue, just to keep users happy.

However, Vodafone is still a communications company and it would have been reasonable to expect it to communicate the change to the people who relied on it.

Certainly, many Mid Canterbury families – and schools now faced with finding money to pay a commercial text provider – would have appreciated the heads-up, as would the many businesses and councils outside the district also caught unawares.

Readers who have dealt with similar issues will be nodding their heads, knowing how difficult it can be to get effective communication from a telecommunication company.

With others, the Guardian has published stories of people who waited ages for new connections or for billing problems to be fixed. Invariably, the complainants simply did not feel heard.

The latest issue steps up the unilateralism and reinforces the feeling that some telecommunications companies expect customers to simply accept the service they are given.

YOUR VIEW Wheelie bins I believe the wheelie bin conflict is caused by the change from a user-pays system to a system where we are paying for others’ rubbish to be dumped even if we don’t have any ourselves.

At our house we work very hard to eliminate as much from the waste stream as possible and put out less than one bag a month.

To make the system fairer I believe the council should make the wheelie-bin system user pays.

There are many ways that could be employed. Monthly accounts for those who put rubbish out? Or we could buy tags and they could be attached to our bin when we put it out.

CRUMB

The tags could be reused. I’m sure others could come up with other ways to make it all fairer.

Nicola Wall

Long-term plan I know the Ashburton District Council was very busy and running behind their time schedule in (Tuesday’s) feedback hearing, but I was disappointed that they did not answer two of the feedback questions I presented to them: ■ Rates are to be increased by 6.5 per cent in the coming year but the consultation document sent to us states that the rate increase for wheelie bins would be $216 per rating unit and for the EA Networks Centre the

by David Fletcher

increase would be $206 per rateable property. How do these figures relate to the 6.5 per cent rate increase?

■ Art gallery – Why $6000 weekly in operating costs? I had always understood that the art gallery would have a curator and minimum staff supported by the many unpaid volunteers we had been notified were always available.

Your assistance in getting plain language info on the above would be much appreciated Doug Forsyth This letter was referred to the council for comment early Wednesday afternoon. None was received by deadline yesterday. – Editor

I’ve got a touch of ‘gold’ fever T his is a public health warning.

There is a very aggressive bug doing the rounds at the moment.

It affects mainly men but has been known to infect some females as well.

Other females will find that it just gets under their skin, but doesn’t cause any sort of infection.

It’s called Jewels Fever!

The disease has a steady build-up phase before an intense three-day battle that puts an average man through the wringer!

Symptoms of the build-up phase to be aware of include:

■ A stupid-looking grin on the sufferer’s face.

■ Some may even get a “wee skip” in their walk.

■ It can even cause some to do irrational things like assemble makeshift signs outside their workplaces.

Partners of those infected

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

are advised to keep their distance from the sufferer, especially if they are around others who have also been infected with the disease and they are discussing the cause of the fever in depth.

Also, if the patient is doing some quiet reading/research into the cause of the fever, they will appreciate complete silence.

It is also vital that the sufferer keeps very well hydrated, especially in the company of other sufferers and this should help those going through this condition to talk to their peers about the fever.

So how long does Jewels Fever last?

In some extreme cases there

are symptoms all year round and those symptoms increase in intensity each Queen’s Birthday weekend, although research suggests there is a biennial spike that goes hand in hand with this disease.

The most intense part of the fever (let’s call it the eye of the storm) will generally set in one evening, let’s say a Friday to pluck a day of the week out randomly.

The fever will be at its most intense point on the Saturday, just after midday until early evening.

Expect nervousness, an elevated heart rate that could result in some sufferers yelling at the top of their voices and waves of both joy and disappointment.

Be warned though, it’s not done and dusted then.

That evening the patient should continue the hydration process and communicate with other victims about what they have just been through that afternoon.

Some sufferers will then experience another smaller wave on the Sunday from 11.25am until around 6pm. But we can see a light at the end now!

More slow but steady hydration on Sunday evening should drown this fever in most cases.

Partners of these poor souls who have gone through this ordeal should be aware the patient could experience extreme tiredness, headaches and nausea for most of the week following.

Support people should also be aware that in most cases Jewels Fever can be a costly disease to fight in case they notice an adjustment to their bank balance.

Jewels Fever. Together we can get through it.

Till next week Hoo roo Phill “I’ve got it bad” Hooper.

■ SAUDI FARM

In brief

Labour ‘antagonised sheikh’

BY NICHOLAS JONES The deal that saw millions of dollars spent on a businessman’s Saudi Arabian farm could be scrutinised by the AuditorGeneral.

Foreign Minister Murray McCully came under further pressure yesterday, with questions about whether a threat of legal action cited as a reason for the deal was genuine.

Green Party trade spokesman James Shaw revealed that he had written to the AuditorGeneral, Lyn Provost, asking for the farm deal to be investigated, specifically procurement processes.

“Everyone knows lawyers throw around threats of big law suits to gain leverage for their clients,” Mr Shaw said.

“The fact the Government appears to have believed the hype and jumped at these threats is both remarkable and possibly in

breach of proper process.”

A spokesman for the Office of the Auditor-General confirmed receipt of Mr Shaw’s letter and would consider the request “as per our usual process”.

National has pushed back this week by blaming Labour for antagonising businessman Sheikh Hamood Al Ali Khalaf to the extent where the Government was exposed to a legal claim of up to $30 million. Spending about $11.5 million on Mr Al Ali Khalaf ’s farm in Saudi Arabia was a way to defuse that threat, Mr McCully argued.

It would also mend relations with the Saudis to make a stalled regional free trade more likely, and serve as a demonstration base for Kiwi agribusiness.

Labour has said the legal threat was clearly hollow from the start, and during questioning by media Mr McCully confirmed it had been withdrawn by the time Cabinet signed-off Compiled by

The Reserve Bank isn’t likely to cut the official cash rate at its review on June 11 and may not see scope to cut rates this year as it walks a tightrope between trying to nudge inflation back up within its target band and keeping Auckland’s housing market under control, economists at Westpac Banking Corp say.

The RBNZ will definitely be taking a wait-and-see approach in June, said Dominick Stephens, chief economist at Westpac.

The two conditions for an OCR reduction - weakening inflation and cooling domestic demand - have not been met, and the latest housing market policies are yet to play out their effect, he said.

Compared with the central bank’s target of keeping annual inflation broadly at about 2 per cent, income level and price-setting behavior are still borderline, with wage inflation at 1.7 per cent and market expectations for inflation are at about 1.5 per cent, he said.

Domestic demand remains strong along with the retail sales, employment data and the housing market, which is rampant in Auckland.

“The key to the OCR outlook later in the year is the housing market,” Stephens said.

“It is slightly more likely that

The High Court in Christchurch has granted an application from the Financial Markets Authority to appoint receivers to Christchurch company Arena Capital, trading as foreign exchange services provider BlackfortFX. The decision follows the FMA obtaining an asset preservation order over the company due to concerns investor funds may be at risk. Grant Graham and Neale Jackson of Korda Mentha have been appointed as receivers and managers of the company and will identify the assets held, client names, and the value of any investments held in Arena/Blackfort.

“At the beginning of these events there was legal action being discussed amongst the parties, also a WTO [World Trade Organisation] suit being discussed amongst some of the parties as well.”

Mr McCully said that legal action was off the table by the time Cabinet agreed to the farm, “because I had been dealing with the matter and tried to avoid the compensation claim and taken compensation out of the discussion”.

Foreign Minister Murray McCully

Prime Minister John Key said whether a legal threat was “live” or not at the time Cabinet was told of the deal was not critical.

However, Labour’s export growth and trade spokesman David Parker said any legal claim had to be brought within six years of the cause of that claim to be valid.

“We have on record Mr Carter, who was then the Minister of Agriculture saying that the National Government was going to reverse the ban on the export of live sheep for slaughter. The National Government then reversed their position.

“But even if that is so, it is no excuse for this $4 million payment because it was perfectly within the power of the Government to extend the ban on the export of live sheep, and you don’t have to pay anyone for the purpose of governing New Zealand.”

Receivers appointed

the OCR will remain on hold all year.”

To put out the Auckland housing market fire, the Reserve Bank and the government have rolled out a series of curbing policies, including tightened tax rules and mortgage lending requirements for property investors. An illtimed OCR cut may just add more fuel.

It is not safe to assume that the current untried housing policies will work as planned to a powerful yet poorly understood price surge, Westpac said.

Gauging the effectiveness of the policies won’t be possible until at least July, Stephens said.

Quarterly predictions published by NZIER this week also took a cautious stance on the likely success of a policyled reversal in house prices in Auckland.

Christina Leung, senior economist at NZIER, said she doesn’t see any sharp downward correction because strong local population growth keeps bolstering the market.

The latest curbing policies, which as a reminder of market downside risks, may dampen speculative sentiment, but are more about buying the government more time to bring supply up with measures such as freeing up government-owned land for housing.

Westland Milk Products has done well to keep its forecast payout for the 2014/15 season on a par with Fonterra, says Cape Foulwind dairy farmer John Milne. Fonterra announced it had lowered its forecast payout for this season from $4.50 per kilogram of milk solids (kgMS) to $4.40. WMP’s forecast payout was higher, at $4.90-$5.10 per kgMS, however that is not what shareholders received in the hand.

Each season WMP withholds a percentage of the payout to invest into the company to support its growth. Last season, WMP retained 30 cents per kgMS. - NZME

Coast jobs going Fifty West Coast jobs will go - 40 of them in Greymouth - when Sicon Ferguson closes its West Coast operations after missing out on the main state highway maintenance contract. It proposes closing the Greymouth and Whataroa branches at the end of August. Sicon Ferguson last week missed out on the sevenyear highway contract, which is due to be awarded to rival Fulton Hogan. However, the fatal blow came earlier this week when the Christchurch-based Sicon board decided to withdraw from the big Mingha Bluff realignment at Arthur’s Pass.

Sales revenue soared to $4.8 million from $316,000 a year earlier, while expenses jumped to $12.7 million from $2 million.

In brief Warning for Grant Central Pulse skipper Katrina Grant has escaped with a warning and a suspended ban after being found in breach of the ANZ Championship’s code of conduct yesterday following an ugly post-match confrontation with an umpire.

Grant will face a two-match ban is she found guilty of misconduct again in the next 12 months. The sanction follows a hearing before the ANZ Championship’s disciplinary officer, where Grant accepted a breach of the competition’s rules for her actions immediately after her side’s draw with Southern Steel in round 12. Grant was seen on television coverage immediately after the game angrily remonstrating with umpire Jono Bredin. - NZME

Points on the board ‘vital’ Mid Canterbury’s senior men’s hockey side knows they need to post some big winning margins if they’re to take out this weekend’s Ian Smith Tournament.

The team has gone through the last two annual tournaments unbeaten, but that hasn’t been enough to take home the title.

Mid Canterbury’s Adam Wilson said a couple of draws in the past two years meant they’d lost out on goal difference, so this weekend when they host the tournament at the Ashburton hockey turf, their goal is to not only win, but to win big.

“Because it’s a round robin with basically the winner being the team with the most points at the end, it puts quite an im-

portance on goal difference,” Wilson said.

A 4-1 win over last year’s Ian Smith winners South Canterbury on Sunday had given the team a confidence boost, but they knew little about who would run out for the other five teams this weekend – even South Canterbury.

“There’s always a bit of uncertainty around what the other teams are bringing. You’re never sure what’s going to turn up, so you have to be ready,” he said.

“Even South Canterbury, they will turn up with something different come this weekend.

“I don’t think they will take too much out of that game on Sunday.”

Eastern Southland won it two years ago, and Mid Canterbury last claimed the title three years ago, but this year the toughest challenge could come from North Otago – a team not historically strong.

“They have a team in the club competition which is essentially what this team will be, and they are leading the club competition at the moment, so they will be tough beats,” Wilson said.

The key for Mid Canterbury would be getting as many goals as possible and a staying strong in defence just in case it again came down to goal difference, while some home town support would also give the side a boost.

“We’ve got as good a chance

as we can, being at home, so we will give it a good nudge,” Wilson said.

A full, fit and healthy squadcaptained by Sam Moore will help Mid Canterbury’s cause because with five games in three days, rotation and keeping players fresh would be key, Wilson said.

Mid Canterbury will look to start its Ian Smith campaign with a win over South Canterbury in its opening match tomorrow at 11.30am.

They’ll then play Central Otago at 4.30pm, and on Sunday they face Invercargill at 11.30am, and North Otago at 3.15pm, before finishing with a game against Eastern Southland at 10.15am on Monday.

Warriors break 40-year finals drought Golden State’s Stephen Curry had 26 points and eight rebounds, Harrison Barnes added 24 points and the Warriors advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time in 40 years with a 104-90 victory over Houston yesterday.

After decades of wishing and waiting for this moment, the Warriors have finally arrived.

They shook off a slow start and then sweated out a shaky finish in Game 5 of the playoffs

to close out the Houston Rockets and set up a match-up with the Cleveland Cavaliers beginning on June 4.

All five Rockets starters scored at least 10 points, but MVP runner-up James Harden had a forgettable finale.

Harden had a playoff-record 13 turnovers and scored 14 points on 2-of-11 shooting.

Dwight Howard led Houston with 18 points and 16 rebounds.

The Magic have secured the services of Australian coach Julie Fitzgerald for another season. The Waikato-Bay of Plenty franchise announced yesterday Fitzgerald will take the reins again for the 2016 ANZ Championship season after agreeing to a one-year contract extension. Fitzgerald joined the Magic in 2014, inherited a largely young and inexperienced side after the loss of key players Laura Langman and Irene van Dyk. But the former Swifts coach defied predictions, leading the Magic to within a game of the grand final. The Magic take on the Tactix in their final round robin clash on Sunday.

England has momentum It was only a week ago that the England cricket team was in a state of turmoil, with no coach, no real identity and seemingly no chance of winning the Ashes this summer.

All that changed in five days of absorbing, aggressive test cricket that lifted the gloom hanging over the national XI and brought the English public back on side. Even the chat about Kevin Pietersen has reduced - and that’s no mean feat.

England’s 124-run win over New Zealand, completed toward the end of a dramatic fifth day at Lord’s, means momentum is behind the England squad heading into the second and final match of the series, starting tonight in Leeds.

Contador in charge Italian Lampre rider Sacha Modolo has won his second stage of the Giro d’Italia as he came out on top in a sprint finish following the 17th stage from Tirano to Lugano in Switzerland. Alberto Contador comfortably retains the leader’s pink jersey after a relatively flat day of racing across 134km. The 27-yearold Modolo, who also won stage 13, finished ahead of compatriot Giacomo Nizzolo. The Giro now faces three hilly days before the final stage to Milan.

■ HARNESS JEWELS

Dalgety keeping it low key

By Matt Markham

Harness Racing New Zealand

Life is a little less stressful ahead of Jewels day this year for Cran Dalgety.

With no bona fide superstar, the West Melton horseman will head down the road to Ashburton with fewer expectations and enjoy the day.

He will still have three runners; Art Union, On The Town and Chevron’s Champion – but the confidence levels are more optimistic than other years when he’s had the likes of Smiling Shard, Onlyforyou and Christen Me. “It’s certainly not what I’m used to,’’ Dalgety said.

“When we purchased at the Sales last year we weren’t really looking for two-year-olds, it’s just the way it worked out.

“I’ve also sold a lot of my good stock this season which has left us a little bit light at the moment.

“But it all works in swings and roundabouts.’’

Art Union will lead the Dalgety charge tomorrow in the 3YO Emerald – but he has work cut out for him against an imposing All Stars duo of Have Faith In Me and Follow The Stars.

The son of Art Major and Sparks A Flyin has been well travelled over the past 10 months but has thrived on the programme.

“We’ve been everywhere with

Odds will be short If you think the TAB’s odds-on quote for The Orange Agent to win one of the glamour races of Jewels Day tomorrow is a bit short, think again.

Because an almost perfect dress rehearsal at Addington less than three weeks ago suggests the flying 3-year-old filly could, and probably should, start close to $1.50 tomorrow. The Orange Agent has been one of two standout pacing fillies in New Zealand this season, the other being key race rival Fight For Glory. Both have been star performers this year and between them have won three Oaks and the Nevele R Fillies Final.

him, Australia, Auckland, Invercargill.

“So he’s had a big season and it’s been more about keeping him ticking over than getting him fit.

“He’s probably a level or two down on the pecking order but he has shown he can compete with them.’’

Drawn barrier three means Dexter Dunn will have plenty of opportunities and Dalgety

■ RICCARTON

isn’t about to start telling his star-driver how to handle his horses.

“I’m better off focusing on the training side of things and letting Dexter do what he is good at.

“The thing with the Jewels is that everyone often gets caught up in the speed factor side of things, but more often than not the races are about the survival of the fittest.

“So while we have great gate speed we might not necessarily have to use it.’’

Dalgety’s filly, On The Town has the coveted draw of one in the 3YO Diamond – enhanced further by The Orange Agent being drawn to her outside.

Chevron’s Champion returns from the North Island and will have to come off the second line.

■ ELLERSLIE

Better going suits filly Colgan chases milestone Improved track conditions at Riccarton today will boost Dezzies Dream’s prospects of a quick return to form.

The juvenile will also have the benefit of a three kilo claim with apprentice Jacob Lowry to be reunited with the filly in the NZ Bloodstock 2YO. Lowry rode Dezzies Dream when she beat the promising pair of Velocci and Peach Cove on the course two runs back before an unplaced performance in the Listed Champagne Stakes earlier this month.

“The better track will help her and last time she got into a speed duel out in front, this time we’ll sit back a bit,” said trainer Sabin Kirkland, who shares in the ownership with All Black coach Steve Hansen.

“She’s travelled well so she’s all good to go, I’m very happy with her.”

The most experienced runner in the field is the Kenny

Jockey Jacob Lowry

and Lisa Rae-trained Hapi Assassin, who has had six runs on the course and weighed in each time and was a last-start fourth in the Champagne.

The Ruakaka trainers will also play a strong hand in the Lindauer Open Handicap with Absolut Excelencia, Red Ripper and Flash Hapi to do battle.

All three have strong form claims with the latter pair laststart winners while Absolut Excelencia beat his barn mate Flash Hapi two runs back at Marlborough.

- NZME

Vinnie Colgan will seek to edge closer to joining New Zealand’s 1000-win club of jockeys when he takes the ride on two bright chances at Ellerslie tomorrow.

He sits on 977 New Zealand wins and is poised to become the 27th jockey to hit the milestone tally.

“That’s the next thing to tick off and it’s getting closer,” Colgan said.

He has long been regarded as one of New Zealand’s most gifted jockeys with a record five New Zealand Derbies and this season he claimed the Gr.1 Telegraph-NRM Sprint double aboard Sacred Star.

While he has just two rides tomorrow, both look potential winners, with noted wettracker Queens Rose dropping back from a stakes company failure last start to contest the Edwards Sound Chairman’s Trophy (1400m) and Foxbur-

row Hill tackling the Construct 3yo (1600m).

“I won on Queens Rose at Tauranga two starts back. I was committed to one of Roger James’ [Miss Foxwood] at Rotorua and couldn’t ride her,” Colgan said.

“I thought she’d go better than she did - I actually thought she could win it - and I know Richie [Graham Richardson] was pretty disappointed.

“She went terrible, but that’s Rotorua and that can happen there. Ellerslie will suit her a lot better. It’s a bit easier to get through a wet track there.”

O’Reilly mare Queens Rose has won seven of her 18 starts, including four of her six starts on heavy tracks.

Foxburrow Hill was also a winner two starts back, at Ellerslie, and Colgan was optimistic the Nigel Tiley-trained Keeper gelding would run well.

- NZME

A seventh placing two starts ago has convinced Stephen Doody the Central Districts can record its first Harness Jewels win with Te Kawau tomorrow. While that may sound like it is stretching optimism a tad too far, Doody has evidence to back up his confidence as his 4-year-old prepares to take on the likes of Sky Major and Tiger Tara. No CD-trained horse has ever won a Jewels, with the region’s leading trainer Doody having come closest with a couple of fifths in the eight-year history of the day. However, he heads to Ashburton believing he can break that duck with Te Kawau. “The Addington win was good but his run for seventh in the Messenger two starts back was huge,” said Doody.

“That is one of the reasons I am going into Saturday with some confidence.”

- NZME

First win for Johnson Timothy Johnson landed the first winning blow of his career when he was successful aboard Upper Cut on his home track yesterday. Apprenticed to Awapuni trainer Mark Oulaghan, the 18-year-old guided the stable runner to victory in the Placemakers Maiden with a hands and heels ride. The performance augured well for Upper Cut’s winter jumping campaign as he is a twotime winner over the big fences and he also ran fourth in last year’s Pakuranga Hunt Cup. - NZME

Filly waiting for rain New Zealand-bred and owned filly Elusive Catch is waiting on a change of weather in Brisbane. The three-year-old joined Liam Birchley’s Eagle Farm stable for a Queensland campaign and last weekend she finished eighth behind the runaway winner Bohemian Lily in the Gr.2 The Roses at Doomben. “She was only half a length off Platinum Princess and she’s one of our best fillies,” part-owner Sabin Kirkland said. “Zac Purton rode Elusive Catch and he said she just wanted some rain so we’re going to sit back and wait, hopefully they get some over there.”

- NZME

Good start for Hutchings Rory Hutchings went close to making an immediate impact on his second Australian riding stint. The champion New Zealand apprentice began his loan spell with Chris Waller at Canterbury on Wednesday and they combined for a runner-up finish with Electrifyin’. Hutchings will partner Lucy’s Look, Danchai, Eigelstein, Good Project and Georgey Aeroplane at Randwick for Waller and he will also ride Earnest Ernest for Joseph Pride.

Quade Cooper to make Reds return

BY VINCE RUGARI Quade Cooper will make his return from a two-month injury layoff for the Queensland Reds in their Super Rugby bottom-ofthe-table clash with the Western Force tomorrow.

The mercurial Wallabies star, who has recovered from his second shoulder fracture this season, will start at flyhalf in place of rookie Jake McIntyre, who drops to the bench.

The increasingly likelihood is

that it could be one of Cooper’s final appearances for Queensland, with the 27-year-old reportedly set to play in France next year on a big-money deal with glamour club Toulon.

“Quade was given the all clear 10 days ago but we wanted to keep working on his strength and bulk just to ensure we didn’t compromise his return,” coach Richard Graham said.

“He has been training with the squad now for about three weeks and will have no problems re-

turning to play at this level.

“Jake will drop to the bench.

He has done a good job over the past two weeks. He will take a lot of learnings from two very different games and he should take some confidence from how he has managed the team around the field.”

Cooper’s inclusion is one of two changes to the starting side that lost to the Sharks last Friday. The other is Lachie Turner, who returns from injury to take his place on the wing for Chris

“He has now played a few Premier Rugby games for Souths and is full of enthusiasm to be back in a Reds jersey.”

■ RUGBY

College ‘fully focused’ On and off-field rivalries will feature on television screens across the country tomorrow as Ashburton College and Timaru Boys’ High School square off in the University Championship.

The rugby match will feature on the latest Land Rover First XV show on Sky Sport’s Rugby Channel, with the game set to be screened live tomorrow, followed by a number of replays.

The Dave McCrea-coached Ashburton College side was taking the television debut all in their stride though; they were just focused on the job at hand.

With just one win from its first four outings in the competition so far, McCrea said his side was eager to notch up win number two, and would love to do it against their old foes from Timaru.

The Timaru side features a number of players from Mid Canterbury, as well as a coach who has led a number of Mid Canterbury sides in his time – Shane Enright.

“Some of the guys know each other quite well, so they are really keyed up for it,” McCrea said.

McCrea and Enright have also coached together in the past, but come Saturday, that friendship will take a back seat for what’s set to be an entertaining and tight 80 minutes.

Apart from a hefty loss to Christchurch Boys’ High School, Ashburton College has experienced narrow losses this season, including by just a converted try last weekend on a long road trip to Nelson.

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Rugby will be the focus in the Combined Country Cup tomorrow.

Allegations of racial abuse emerged from last weekend’s end to the round robin and suggestions of a widespread problem have grabbed the headlines, but the players’ attention will return to the action, for 80 minutes at least, in the quarterfinals.

Celtic, Methven and Southern all have knockout matches, with all three coming off losses to end the round robin.

Of the local trio only Methven are at home, hosting Southbridge.

Methven have lost two of their last three games, with both losses at home.

Methven coach Dale Palm-

Crusaders ‘misfiring’ All Black selector Grant Fox says the misfiring Crusaders have been hiding the real Dan Carter. Fox, speaking on TV3’s Paul Henry, gave predictable backing to Carter and his fellow All Blacks legend Richie McCaw in this World Cup year. “(Carter) has been in a struggling team which hasn’t helped,” said Fox, when asked about Carter’s form.

“Dan has had a tough couple of years, struggling with his body.” He said doubts about McCaw were hardly new. “This time last year there was the same sentiment ... he was (later) nominated for world player of the year,” said Fox. “For the last three years people have been asking the question and each year he keeps proving them wrong.”

“So we do want another win, so we can get ourselves back up the points table,” McCrea said.

McCrea said the side knew what they had to do to achieve just that.

“We have a simple plan, we’re just lacking execution sometimes,” McCrea said.

“We just need to get them in the winning mindset right from the first whistle.”

No new injuries from the Nelson match meant the college side was likely to remain unchanged for the match, and McCrea said they would not be over-awed by the occasion and

the television cameras.

The game will kick off at 12.45pm tomorrow, on the main oval at the Ashburton Showgrounds.

Meanwhile the school’s girls’ side notched up a huge win in Timaru on Wednesday night, beating Timaru Girls’ High School 66-5.

They still have just one loss to their name so far this season in their six-team competition.

All three of the Te Moananui triplets featured on the scoresheet, with Jamie and Erana scoring one try each, and Chloe scoring three.

First-year rugby player Manaia Whatuira-Wereta showed her power, also scoring three consecutive first-half tries as Ashburton College led 39-0 at half time.

Year nine student Piper Jones may be small, but the mid-field back showed great speed in scoring two tries of her own, while another year nine student – Isabella Roulston – scored another.

Timaru Girls’ lone try came in the second half from a pushover from a scrum.

Next week the girls take on Roncalli College in Timaru.

All eyes on quarter-finals in Combined competition

In brief

er was much happier with his side’s performance and intensity against Waihora, but a “few lapses” proved costly.

Injuries in the backline will have Palmer looking at another reshuffle, but it will be the forward pack called on to deliver the platform upfront, as they will attempt to limit Southbridge’s possession.

Methven had a 13-10 win over Southbridge last year, but when the blue-and-white hoops last came to town they ran out 47-8 winners in 2013.

Celtic did just enough to maintain a play-off spot head to Waihora.

They missed several opportunities to close out a possible win over Lincoln in what was in some ways a knockout match.

Celtic’s slow start and failure to finish off at the death will be

two things they’ll want to leave off the bus to Tai Tapu tomorrow.

The green machine have shown they can mix it with the big guns - tipping up Southbridge and Glenmark this season - and coach Warren Mackenzie will be getting his side to refocus on those performances if they are to progress.

Last year’s beaten finalist have only dropped the one game all season, and although Waihora have not been blitzing teams they have been able to do enough to clinch the crucial wins - as they did away to Methven last weekend.

Southern also make a return to the knockout stages for the first time since 2012 and will certainly want to erase last week’s dismal display from the memory banks.

Southern coach Jason Rickard described their away loss to Ashley as simply “horrible” as they got off the bus in Loburn and produced a lacklustre effort.

They will hope it served as a harsh lesson as they get back on a bus this weekend bound for Oxford - whose only two losses to date have also come at home.

Elsewhere Rakaia have been bolstered by the return of players from what has been a lengthy injury list, but the best they can hope for is a ninth place finish overall playing on the trophy section, starting with an away trip to Rangiora to play Saracens.

Embroiled in the controversy during the week, Hampstead will want to make the focus on their on-field performance when they head to Loburn to meet Ashley.

As the Chiefs suffered body blows game after game, Liam Messam appeared impervious to injury. His team-mates might have spent the last several weeks coming in and out of the team, but the captain had stayed strong and helped his side remain in the playoff race. That will all change against the Highlanders tomorrow night, however, with Messam missing the game through injury and facing an uncertain immediate future. Messam suffered a knock to his left shoulder during last weekend’s win over the Bulls and the joint flared up this week to preclude his involvement in the crunch clash against the Highlanders.

Davies out of World Cup Wales have suffered a big rugby World Cup blow with centre Jonathan Davies ruled out with a knee injury. Davies ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament playing for his French club Clermont Auvergne against Montpellier on Saturday. The Welsh Rugby Union said the 27-year-old will undergo surgery in the next few days and it is estimated Davies, who has won 48 caps for Wales, will be out of action for six to seven months.

The news is a significant setback for Wales, who face Australia, England, Fiji and Uruguay in their World Cup pool.

Sio back for Brumbies Brumbies giant Scott Sio will make his Super Rugby comeback against the Bulls tonight after two months on the sidelines. Sio has been out since round nine when he strained his medial ligament against the Blues, but has been named to start at GIO Stadium. With injury keeping Wallaby Matt Toomua out for at least another week, Robbie Coleman returns to the starting side. - AAP

Sefa now Rebels centre Fijian flyer Sefanaia Naivalu will start in the centres for the first time this Super Rugby season as the Melbourne Rebels try to make history against the Sharks. The Rebels play the Sharks in Durban early tomorrow morning Australian time and have been bolstered by the return of Naivalu from a concussion and prop Toby Smith from a back problem as they bid for their first win in South Africa.

Veteran centre Tamati Ellison failed to overcome a groin injury with coach Tony McGahan electing to start winger Naivalu there for the first time.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

In brief

Game management ‘key’

By Russell Jackson Match-winner Cooper Cronk has challenged NSW to lift for the second Origin bout at the MCG, declaring Queensland’s superior game management got them home in Sydney.

The Blues’ attack was disjointed in the final stages of the 11-10 loss to the Maroons in the series opener at ANZ Stadium on Wednesday night, while Queensland kept their shape under pressure.

NSW head to game two in Melbourne on June 17 under enormous pressure, thanks largely to halfback Cronk, who starred with a first-half try and a field goal six minutes from fulltime.

“One up in a three-game series going to Melbourne is pretty satisfying and puts the pressure back on them,” Cronk said.

“It’s about game management with under 10 minutes to go and I think we did a good job.”

Cooper Cronk: Snapped the match-winning goal for Queensland.

Queensland have several experts in game management, including Cronk, Johnathan Thurston and Cameron Smith and it proved the difference, while their NSW counterparts Trent Hodkinson, Mitchell Pearce and Robbie Farah struggled steering the Blues around the park.

The Maroons, under the guidance of Cronk and Thurston, manoeuvred into a posi-

tion to ice the game with Cronk dropping into the pocket and slotting the decisive point.

The Melbourne star’s field goal came a set after NSW ignored a couple of field goal opportunities, before messing up a third chance in the final minutes.

A poor pass from dummy-half Farah found its way to fullback Josh Dugan who missed with a wayward shot on the run.

“I think we managed the game a little bit better towards the back end of the half.

“We got over that advantage line and completed our sets,” Cronk said.

“It comes with experience.

“We’ve been there before, we know what it’s all about and you’ve just got to calm the nerves.”

Thurston admitted Queensland had spent part of their preparation on how to approach tight games at the death.

“We do a fair bit of preparation on it,” Thurston told AAP. “But Coops (Cronk) has slotted those for us many times before, so when we get in that position, he’s one of the best at it.

“When the play goes down, I just try and hold a bit of shape on the left, but he always gets in a position for them.”

Thurston admitted he was surprised NSW turned down both opportunities to go for the go-ahead field goal.

■ FOOTBALL

Junior All Whites’ fate rests on first game By kRis shannon With the Under-20 World Cup kicking off at Albany tomorrow, are the hosts primed for a crowd-pleasing run deep into the tournament or will their involvement be curtailed early in the event? The New Zealand Herald assesses the likelihood of the Junior All Whites progressing from pool play.

Match one: Ukraine, North Harbour Stadium, May 30, 1pm It is fair to say the World Cup opener is the key to New Zealand’s campaign.

With the United States looking strong and Myanmar appearing vulnerable (more on that in a bit), the fate of Darren Bazeley’s side could rest on getting a result from their first game.

It won’t be easy, not against a team that qualified from the European Under-19 Championships, an event so competitive that traditional heavyweights Spain, France and Italy all failed to punch a ticket to New Zealand.

While Ukraine were fortunate to avoid those football powerhouses in qualifying, they did progress at the expense of England, knocking out a team featuring players who have made first-team appearances for Chelsea, Arsenal and Liver-

pool.

Ukraine’s own squad is entirely drawn from the nation’s top division - with heavyweights Dynamo Kiev and Shakhtar Donetsk combining to provide 10 of the 21-man group - but a lack of foreignbased players hardly means they can be taken lightly.

“The European qualifiers are always really strong,” said New Zealand defender Jesse Edge. “[Ukraine] are good at set pieces so that is a big focus for us. But also we need to stick to our style of play and not focus too much on them.”

Ukraine conceded three goals in six qualification games and a combination of strength and organisation will be tough to

break down but, based on what is to follow, New Zealand really require at least a draw.

Match two: United States, North Harbour Stadium, June 2, 7pm.

The United States are the favourites to top group A, and deservedly so. Customarily wellfunded at youth level, the US boast the group’s best squad and will have designs on winning all three matches.

Possessing a handful of players scattered around Europe’s top leagues, the undisputed jewel in the crown is Gedion Zelalem, with the Arsenal midfielder previously representing Germany at youth level before being anointed the next great hope of American soccer.

Depending on the outcome of the opener against Ukraine, New Zealand’s focus against the US could be about limiting the damage, considering the potential impact of goal difference on the final standings.

Match three: Myanmar, Wellington Regional Stadium, June 5, 7pm That factor could well play a part in New Zealand’s final group game against a side shaping as one of the tournament’s strugglers. If the hosts head into the Myanmar match without a win, a glut of goals will be needed to advance to the second stage as one of the topranked third-placed sides.

Attempting to enter through that back door with only three points is a serious risk. Four points, however, should be enough, hence the importance of the opener against Ukraine.

Earn a draw from that encounter and New Zealand may be safe in the knowledge that victory over Myanmar will be enough to seal safe passage.

And considering the Asian side are tied with Fiji as rank outsiders, paying $251 to claim the crown, achieving that win appears odds-on.

FIFA SCANDAL P10

Big win for Natasha Ashburton College pupil Natasha Waddell has lucked out, winning the ANZ Future Captains competition. The competition involves nominating a young netball fan between the age of 8 and 15 years old, for a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet their netball heroes. Waddell will attend this weekend’s Tactix game, and meet the captains of the Tactix and Magic teams before standing out on the court to be highfived by the players. A netballer in the College Y9A team, Waddell played her first game in the Senior A grade last night, after the team was promoted from Saturday’s Senior B competition. Coach of the Y9A team Sonia Waddell said the promotion to Thursday night netball was a great achievement, especially as the majority of the girls in the team were only 13 years old.

Tomkins has to fire Sam Tomkins came to New Zealand with a big price tag and big reputation, and Warriors coach Andrew McFadden wants the fullback to produce his best form before he returns to England to resume his career in the UK Super League. Tomkins makes his long-awaited comeback in Sunday’s clash against the Newcastle Knights at Mt Smart Stadium after missing seven matches with a knee injury suffered against Parramatta on March 21. McFadden knows Tomkins isn’t fully fit, but he hopes he will show the fans just how good he can be before he leaves the club at the end of the year. - NZME

Attack concerns Cleary Penrith coach Ivan Cleary admits he is concerned with his side’s spluttering attack which has totalled just 16 points in their past two NRL games. In fact, the Panthers have scored 14 points or less in six of their past eight matches and their 17 points a game ranks them a lowly 14th in the competition. Ahead of tonight’s local derby against Parramatta, Cleary apportioned part of the blame on an injury toll that has forced them into ten different halves combinations over the first ten rounds.

- AAP

NSW sweat on Farah The champagne is on ice for Queensland along with NSW stand-in skipper Robbie Farah’s shoulder after a veteran Maroons’ stirring 11-10 State of Origin game one victory.

Farah appeared to work just as hard to bite his tongue over Maroons centre Justin Hodges’ controversial tackle that has the Blues rake battling to be fit for the Melbourne rematch. Farah admits he has “no idea” whether he will be fit for game two but will undergo scans on his shoulder. Just like Farah, NSW supporters no doubt saw red after the match review committee found Hodges had no case to answer over the tackle that floored Farah. - AAP

Kane hungry for goals Harry Kane’s appetite for goals remains undiminished by a long and stellar English season - and that spells danger for Sydney FC. English soccer’s golden boy can’t seem to get enough of the game, and if his rich vein of form continues on Saturday, Tottenham Hotspur could give the Sky Blues another spanking to add to their 3-0 demolition by thee Victory in the A-League final. - AAP

■ TENNIS

Halep out of Open

By Darren Walton She’s been to hell and back and now Mirjana Lucic-Baroni is in tennis heaven after dumping third seed Simona Halep from the French Open in the tournament’s biggest upset yet.

The 33-year-old beat last year’s runner-up 7-5 6-1 to reach the third round for the first time since 2001, an age ago and before Lucic-Baroni fell victim to an abusive father and other family and financial problems.

“It doesn’t get better than this,” said the former teenage prodigy who was earmarked for superstardom before her career was stopped in its tracks.

“Moments like this, like today, it’s just so amazing - a full court playing against one of the best tennis players in the world and winning.”

As a junior, Lucic-Baroni won the girls’ singles at the 1996 US Open and 1997 Australian Open, joining Martina Hingis and Jennifer Capriati as the only players in the open era to capture two junior grand slam singles titles by the age of 14.

She turned professional at 15 and won her very first WTA Tour event, then lost her second in the final to Steffi Graf.

“I was not nearly as good as she is at 15,” Graf marvelled at the time.

Lucic-Baroni continued setting all sorts of records before her world came crashing down. The Croatian didn’t contest a grand slam for eight years before making a comeback in 2010.

“I really do love this game,” LucicBaroni said. “Even though I lost, I had a couple of glasses of wine that night.

I knew I am playing good tennis, so I said, ‘Okay, fine’. Maybe it’s the French - AAP wine.”

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Where there has been a chance for a communication or relationship breakthrough there is also a chance for healing, letting the past go.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Today’s stars create a cathartic atmosphere tailor made for extending the olive branch and burying the hatchet, in a loving and healing way.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) A better sense of what you’re really striving for professionally and of your income expectations comes with a chance to lay old doubts to rest.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) As your professional year reaches a more manageable pace the work/life balance lessons of the past are providing valuable guidelines.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) This is one day when you might regret taking a rain check, but also when the chance meetings are likely to be more significant than they seem at the time.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Something special, healing and cathartic is developing when it comes to friendship and relationship building, with something deeper unfolding.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Today is less about roadblocks and more about those in your own mind, whether put there by past setbacks or a fear of taking risks.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) In her final days in an adventurous part of your chart Venus teams up with playful forces on a mission to find a balance between work and play.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) A regrouping and rebuilding of relationship forces comes with a chance to turn personal and/or relationship tensions into a chance for a breakthrough.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Good things will always happen when communication and relationship forces come together, especially when it’s the planets of love and healing.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) While you’ve reached an auspicious day for work and income matters this is less about what this might trigger and more an awareness.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) The Moon’s monthly visit to your financial sector is a chance to sharpen your financial instincts and take care of any housekeeping.

CAITLIN.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Round two of Premier netball started off with a bang last night, with Challenge Trophy holders Hampstead claiming a convincing 2614 win over defending champions Celtic.

Hampstead scored the first goal of the fastpaced match within minutes, however, Celtic weren’t far behind and both teams fought goal for goal until the first quarter whistle blew, Hampstead pulling ahead with a narrow 7-6 lead.

During the second quarter both teams struggled to get the ball into the circle, but Hampstead pushed hard on defence, capitalising on every turnover.

Time was called with five minutes to go, and then again two minutes later with both teams needing to cater to injured players.

The break didn’t affect Hampstead’s run though; the team scored a goal in the last few seconds of the quarter and retained their lead with a halftime score of 14-11.

By the time the third quarter whistle blew it was clear Hampstead were not going to let up, while Celtic lost valuable ball with wild passes.

Both teams were aggressive, but sly passing in the circle meant Hampstead stayed ahead on the scoreboard.

Celtic continued to work hard on defence but their attacking end struggled to net their shots.

Heading into the fourth quarter Hampstead were up 22-15 and both teams contested every ball, resulting in turnover after turnover.

A third instance of time was called, this time by an umpire who spotted blood on the court.

The physicality of the game then escalated as the full time whistle drew nearer.

Frantic passing resulted in lost ball for both teams and the quarter was a low scoring one – Hampstead netting three goals to Celtic’s one.

Hampstead coach Cindy Meadows said she was happy with how her team performed on both attack and defence.

“I’m really pleased, our focus was building on from our win last week,” Meadows said.

“I’m happy with the performance across the 40 minutes.”

Also in Premier, College B made their debut to the big leagues against Methven but were trounced 52-10.

College A on the other hand, clinched a 3714 win against United.

In Senior A, former Premier team Collegiate performed well against Methven B, coming away with a 31-22 win. Rakaia A had a resounding 37-19 win over Celtic B and new faces to Thursday night netball College Y9A scored their first win against Hampstead B 2624.
