Ashburton fogging up its clean air record

BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton’s exemplary clean air record this year has been tarnished in just 10 days as it recorded its third high air pollution day on Saturday – a level that would be deemed unacceptable come 2016.

Environment Canterbury (ECan) recorded an average 24hour concentration of 72 micrograms of suspended particulate per cubic metre of air – the third time Ashburton has exceeded the national environment standard of 50 since June 4.

If it was 2016, the third ex-

cessive reading would see ECan fail to meet standards set by the Government for Ashburton, Timaru, Christchurch and Kaiapoi which are not allowed to have more than three high air pollution days by then and one by 2020.

The first two times this year Ashburton exceeded the health guidelines was on June 4, with a recording of 58 and the following day on June 5 with 74.

Records show Ashburton’s total is dropping. There were four days recorded in 2013 and eight in 2012, while in 2006 there were 28 high pollution days with the

highest reading being 137.

Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay said it was positive to see local figures dropping, but admitted the message was not getting through to some.

Mr McKay said little wind and cool conditions could have contributed to Saturday’s poor reading, but pointed out “some frosty nights when I leave Ashburton I can still smell coal fires which are the worst offenders”.

Timaru has been the region’s worst offender this year with 14 high pollution days while Christchurch has had nine and Kaiapoi six.

Mr McKay believed Ashburton was on track to meet the 2016 target.

It comes as ECan consults with the community to update its air plan, which identifies what can be done to reduce air pollution. The current plan has been in place since 2002.

Outdoor rubbish and stubble burning have been flagged as issues in Mid Canterbury.

ECan was unavailable for comment yesterday, but is holding an air plan review public meeting at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre at 6.30pm tomorrow.

UK makes Jolie an honorary dame Angelina Jolie has been made an honorary dame in Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday honours list, as Britain paid tribute to the Hollywood star for her efforts to combat war-zone rape. The US actress, who Secretary of State John Kerry described as “a fierce and fearless advocate”, leads a list of film idols, sports stars, authors and designers recognised for their services to the United Kingdom. Daniel Day-Lewis receives a knighthood, while his fellow Oscar-winning film star Dame Maggie Smith - the star of TV period drama Downton Abbey and the Harry Potter films - is made a companion of honour. Jolie was given the female equivalent of a knighthood for her services to British foreign policy in her campaign to end sexual violence in conflict zones. She co-hosted a fourday global conference in London on the issue with British Foreign Secretary William Hague, during which Kerry suggested she had played her most lasting role, “the role of fierce and fearless advocate”.

Mussolini’s Alfa Romeo sold to Russians Italian dictator Benito Mussolini’s official car, an Alfa Romeo convertible, has fetched 180,000 euros ($A269,986) at auction in France, the auctioneer said yesterday. An unnamed Russian museum bought the car, which needs complete restoration, at a sale in Caen-Carpiquet in northwestern France. Originally fitted with a silver dashboard and handles, the car was custom-built in 1937 for Italian King Victor Emmanuel III before becoming Mussolini’s official car.

Card well travelled A birthday card’s 53-year journey has come to an end. The birthday greeting has made its final journey between two close friends after one died a week before her birthday earlier this year. The worn, well-loved and well-written on birthday card, purchased in New Zealand in 1961, has crossed the world 106 times to bring delight to the pair, helping cement their relationship throughout their lifetime. The battered and well-used card with many notes attached over the years was first posted by Masterton’s Joy Thomas in February 1961 to her best friend Yvonne Sutherland back in Canada. Mrs Thomas and husband Peter had moved to New Zealand with their four children to live a short time before and she missed her best mate. It has since been returned annually. However, the card arrived in Canada too late for Mrs Sutherland this year, as she died a week before her birthday.

■ ELDER ABUSE AWARENESS

Spotlight on elder abuse

By Toni Williams

Toni.w@theguardian.co.nz

The shame of elder abuse is keeping the issue swept under the carpet, but it’s time to speak up, according to Age Concern Ashburton.

Most elder abuse and neglect in New Zealand happened at the hand of family members and half of the abusers were adult children. More than half of those abused were aged over 80.

Age Concern Ashburton launched its Elder Abuse Awareness appeal in time for the world

awareness day at the weekend.

It was called ‘Always Respected, Never Abused’.

Any money raised during the appeal week would fund prevention work.

Age Concern Ashburton vicepresident Trish Small said it was vital people spoke out and a call to Age Concern was a right step.

“Many older people feel ashamed their own flesh and blood is treating them badly, so they won’t talk about it,” she said.

“Don’t let fear of meddling in

someone else’s business stop you from voicing your concern. It is time to stop elder abuse in our communities and if we all pull together we can achieve this.”

Elder abuse was a widespread issue in New Zealand. It appeared in many forms such as financial and material, psychological, physical abuse and neglect.

Mrs Small said the service received an average of eight calls each working day about older people suspected of being abused or neglected nationwide.

Most cases were confirmed.

In New Zealand the most commonly type was financial abuse and psychological abuse.

“We know that’s just the tip of the iceberg. But it doesn’t have to be this way. The more people understand about elder abuse and what they can do to stop it, the better.”

Mrs Small said elder abuse was often fuelled by attitudes that were ageist and disrespectful of older people.

“They make decisions for the older person without even asking them what it is they want.

Or, they ridicule them about the decisions they do make. Sometimes, they pressure older people into doing things they don’t really want to do – like giving them a loan, selling their house or letting a family member move in with them for free.”

“Attitudes like these show a lack of respect for the older person, for their quality of life and for their needs,” Mrs Small said.

In Ashburton, Age Concern had displays at the arcade and library where there was information for people to take away.

■ DREAMWORKS CARD CRAZE

Collectable card craze comes to an end

By Myles Hume

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

The collectable card craze taking Mid Canterbury youngsters by storm came to an end yesterday as countless children gathered in a final bid to complete their sets.

Yesterday marked the final day Countdown Ashburton handed highly-soughtafter DreamWorks Heroes action cards over the counter, with one card in the collection of 42 given out for every $20 spent in store and online.

The buzz surrounding the cards has overwhelmed Countdown Ashburton store manager Jeremy Samuels whose three children Alex, 3, Abby, 6, and William, 7, held a third and final swap meet for Mid Canterbury children rushing to complete their card albums.

The promotion has been that popular that parents have taken to social media to collect them for their children, while some Mid Canterbury schools have banned them to prevent pupils from being distracted from their work.

About 110 children and their parents

turned out to yesterday’s swap meet, in what was one more than previously scheduled due to customer demand.

Ashburton five-year-old Brendon Sandford-Tew was one of many who turned up with a long list of card numbers he needed to complete his second set.

“He’s got two sets now, one he has in Christchurch at his mother’s and now one here with me in Ashburton. I think they are brilliant, he plays all sort of games with them before and after school,” his father Daniel Tew said.

When it came to choosing his favourite card Brendon couldn’t decide, instead opting to label them all his favoutite.

Mr Samuels said it was unbelievable to see how the cards have taken off, with up to 140 people showing up at the second swap meet last weekend.

“I think they have been so popular because they are holographic and a lot of the cards are characters people have grown up with, we have got the likes of Shrek, Puss in Boots and Madagascar.

The cards and albums are also interactive so kids are able to play games with them.”

Child assaulted

Dan Carter warms up in foggy conditions before his much-anticipated return from sabbatical for his Southbridge club side against Glenmark in Southbridge on Saturday.

Dan back on home turf Dan Carter’s first match back since his six month lay-off was a busy one, setting up two tries - one with a cross field kick to the corner and one with a double cut-out pass.

He was then subbed off at halftime.

He distributed cleanly, made a few solid tackles, slotted two sideline conversions, and showed several classy touches, in what he will see to be a successful return.

He was clearly puffing after 20 minutes, with hands on hips during breaks of play.

But his concise play was the difference between the sides – with Southbridge rounding out a 51-10 victory.

A massive crowd descended on a tiny rural Canterbury township on Saturday to watch the All Blacks legend make his much-anticipated return to rugby.

The 100-test international star filled the number 10 jersey for his club, where his father Neville coaches the Division 2 team and mans the bar.

When Carter arrived at the ground he was immediately swamped by muddy, excitable crowds of kids.

A lucky few got a high five as they followed him to the dressing room. When they were told they couldn’t enter the dressing room, theatrical screams of ‘Noooooo!’ rang out. There was

Police have charged a Hamilton man with assault on a child after an 8-month-old baby suffered major head injuries yesterday and was taken to hospital in a critical condition. Waikato Acting Detective Inspector Mark Greene said the 32-year-old man, who lived at the York Street address with the baby, had been arrested and will appear in the Hamilton District Court today. He confirmed it was a domestic violence incident. “At this stage the baby remains in a critical condition and is likely to be transferred to Auckland’s Starship Hospital later today for more specialist care,” Mr Greene said.

11 small quakes Rotorua was rattled by at least 11 small earthquakes on Friday night in what experts say is not uncommon for the Taupo Volcanic Zone. The 11 recorded quakes were rated by GNS Science as either “light” or “weak” and happened between 6.57pm and 9.06pm.

The first was a magnitude-2.3 quake at a depth of 8km and was centred within 5km of Rotorua.

The second was at 7.11pm and was a magnitude-2.1 tremor 7km deep, also centred within 5km of Rotorua. There was a third at 7.20pm, it was 2.1 and at a depth of 10km. A fourth, recorded at 7.25pm, was classified as light intensity at 2.8 magnitude and 9km deep. The earthquakes went on into the night, the largest being one of 2.8 magnitude recorded at 7.56pm. Another six ranged in intensity from 1.8 to 2.4 with the latest one at 9.06pm.

NZ’s ‘gold coast’

Hampstead’s Lose and Vili Fifita, 7, get a lucky photo opportunity with Dan Carter after the match.

time for that afterwards.

The 32-year old Carter only played half of the Luisetti Seeds Division One play-off match against Glenmark - the famous North Canterbury club that itself boasts All Blacks, including Alex ‘Grizz’ Wyllie, Robbie Deans, Andy Earl, and current Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder.

During that 40-minute stint he managed to set up Mid Canterbury centre Peni Manu-

manuniliwa for the game’s first try in the corner supplemented by a sideline conversion.

Moments later Carter spotted another opportunity, plucking a loose pass off his boot laces and spiralling a double cut-out pass for another try out wide which he converted.

Carter’s only previous senior game for the club was his comeback from an Achilles injury against Hornby at Denton Oval in 2009 where thousands

turned out. It is Carter’s first match since he limped off the hallowed turf of Twickenham last year in his 100th test.

He has been on sabbatical since, undergoing surgery on a niggly ankle, undergoing strength and conditioning work, spending time with wife Honor and 1-year old son Marco, while becoming a spectator himself at some of the world’s top sporting events.

New Zealand now has its own ‘gold coast’ as local tourist operators try to carve out a new brand to entice more people to visit the Greymouth area. The catch cry might disappoint those looking for the sun and beaches of Australia’s Gold Coast, but at the same time intrigue those who discover the West Coast’s goldmining heritage.

The campaign came about as the result of meetings among operators on how to encourage people to stay in Greymouth longer, rather than passing through on their way to the glaciers. The promotion includes a website offering deals, a tourist newspaper and a promotional video to screen on Canterbury TV. - APNZ

■ MID CANTERBURY HUNTING COMPETITION

Hunters have top prize in their sights

BY MICHELLE NELSON

MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Feral animals beware; hunters across the South Island have you in their sights – hoping to bag a heavyweight for the Mid Canterbury Hunting Competition.

When the competition kicks off on Friday it will be game on.

There are no restrictions on where the animals can be bagged, but they must be brought to the Hotel Ashburton carpark for weigh in between 11am and 2.30pm on Sunday, June 22.

In its seventh year the event continues of attract more participants with about 265 hunters registering last June.

Six prizes are on offer for the

heaviest boars, and the hunter who turns in the top weight hog will be $400 better off for his or her effort. Last year Southland hunter Joel Malcolm took the honour with an 85.7kg boar.

Stags, tahr, chamois and wallabies will also be on the radar and when weigh in takes place, a large numbers of ducks, rabbits, hares and possums are also certain to feature in the line-up.

Female animals are not eligible – unless they happen to be rabbits, hares, possums or ducks. These animals are also exempt from the gutting requirements stipulated for larger prey.

In the pig and deer categories the minimum weight is 25kg and surprisingly all entries

must have their ears and testicles “attached naturally”.

All hunts must be fair and any animals deemed by the judges to have been farmed, poisoned, hazed or trapped, will be disqualified – as will any which have been in frozen storage.

All hunting must be done on foot.

Helicopters can only be used to drop hunters into remote areas and to carry them – and their animals – out at the end of the weekend.

Shooting from the air is banned, and to collect a prize hunters will have to produce their firearms licence.

All entrants weighing in an animal on the day will be in the draw for a rifle.

Southern man Joel Malcolm brought in the top weight hog at last year’s hunting competition.

Vector said staff have repaired hot water pilots in New Lynn, Glen Eden, Kelston and Green Bay and would work to restore hot water to customers in Northcote, Henderson and Swanson next. Wind gusts of up to 145 km/h left more than 90,000 people in Auckland without power at its height on Tuesday. Vector said the storm on Tuesday cut off four times the amount who lost power or hot water during Cyclone Ita. All power outages across Auckland have now been restored.

As shopkeeper Arun Kumar was farewelled in a moving service among his family and friends in Wiri, South Auckland, further details of the lives and families of the 12and 13-year-old boys can be revealed.

Because the boys are so young, their names are suppressed. However, the Herald on Sunday has learned the 13-year-old murder accused’s mother appeared in court this month on dishonesty offences and breaching bail.

The Herald on Sunday understands the 13-year-old’s father is also in custody.

The 13-year-old had been in the care of his maternal grandmother, who was praised by relatives as being a “golden

lady”. “She has been the backbone of family making sure everything is going well for those kids,” said a relative.

Family members described the boy’s mother as having had a difficult path despite the support of her mother, now the caregiver for her children. She was a toddler and her younger brother was a baby when their father died.

Family said the grandmother has lived at the house for many years, caring for her daughter’s children.

As Kumar was being farewelled, family and friends gathered at the grandmother’s home, where she had cared for many of her mokopuna.

A great aunt of the 13-yearold said the boy and his siblings were supposed to be in the care of their maternal grandmother in Auckland while his mother was in prison. - APNZ

The troubled Interislander ferry Aratere is on its way back to New Zealand following repairs in Singapore. The ferry’s propeller came off in Cook Strait in November, and it has been out of action ever since. The Aratere is now on its way back to Wellington, via a refuel stop in Gladstone, Australia. Its expected arrival date will be weather dependent, KiwiRail said, with a more specific date released as it neared New Zealand. The ferry has been undergoing repairs in Singapore since February, following a propeller shaft failure. While it was in the dry dock, a full twoyear maintenance check was also carried out, KiwiRail said. - APNZ

Fatal crash Police investigating a fatal crash which killed an 18-month-old child have ruled out alcohol as a factor, and say all in the vehicle were properly restrained. The 4WD vehicle left the road and flipped on SH2 at Waiotahi, west of Opotiki, about 6am yesterday. The vehicle was found upside down in a drain.

An infant who was seated in the back of the vehicle died, police said. A spokeswoman said all four people in the vehicle were “suitably restrained”. “Alcohol has also been ruled out as a factor,” she said.

Horse rescued Emergency services worked to free a horse trapped in a horse float after a car crash on State Highway 16 yesterday. Police said there were no serious injuries in the two-car crash near Helensville about 3.30pm. Northern fire communications centre shift manager Jaron Phillips said one of the cars was towing a horse float.

“One horse was trapped and one horse managed to free itself,” he said. The horse float ended up on its side after the collision. - APNZ

■ MID CANTERBURY COLLEGES

Hairstyle rules there for reason

BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Both Mid Canterbury secondary schools have never taken extreme disciplinary action over hairstyles, but admit they could if a pupil continued to defy the rules.

Ashburton and Mount Hutt colleges have clear guideless surrounding hairstyles which have come to the fore after revelations a Wellington teenager has entered into a legal battle against his school which suspended him because his hair was too long.

The Wellington school states hair must be off the collar and out of the eyes, stricter than both Mid Canterbury colleges which expect long hair to be well groomed, out of the face or tied back in certain classes.

At Mount Hutt College “extreme hairstyles are not allowed”, while at Ashburton College they are not encouraged.

“Individual situations have been raised when there have been concerns about some students and their hair, but we have worked with students and parents to come to an agreement,”

Mount Hutt College principal John Schreurs said.

“Nothing has come to that (a suspension) but it could. I hope it would never reach that.

“It seems like a trivial matter but it’s all part of following the rules that are set down.”

Ashburton College principal Grant McMillan said in most cases pupils and parents came to the party when concerns were raised.

Although the full context of the Wellington case was unknown, he said it appeared the school took a tough line, but the

rules were in place for a reason and schools would act on continual disobedience.

Mr McMillan said the rules were in line with what was expected when pupils entered the workforce, where there was always a level of conformity.

“The main focus of school is learning, it’s not a fashion parade of how many piercings you have. It’s also about wellbeing, we don’t want students competing over what labels they wear.”

Right – Grant McMillan.

■ ASHBURTON FAMILIES

Parents’ Centre celebrates families on its 25th birthday The Ashburton Parents’ Centre marked its 25th anniversary in style yesterday by celebrating the district’s parents and their children.

From puppets to kitchen creations, it was all about the kids on Saturday as the parents’ centre kicked off with about 40 youngsters turning out at the organisations’s Netherby headquarters where youngsters were wildly entertained by puppeteer Liz Weir.

During the One for the Kids celebration, children took part in games with puppets, before going on to make their own during an arts and crafts session.

Next on the agenda was a date with Jen Sheppard from Jen’s Kitchen, where they learned the art of rolling sushi and making delicious lolly cake.

Yesterday the focus shifted from children to their mothers as the parents’ centre held its One for the Ladies celebration at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre.

From massages, make-up workshops to fashion tips from local retailers, it was a time for the hard-working mothers of the district to let their hair down for an afternoon and indulge themselves in the countless stalls and services on offer.

Following the weekend’s celebrations, the Ashburton Parents’ Centre is set to host a pub quiz on July 3 at the Devon Tavern.

■ ENGLAND

MH370 search to continue Malaysia says there will be no let-up in the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, in a statement to mark 100 days since the plane disappeared. “We cannot and will not rest until MH370 is found,” Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said. The Beijing-bound aircraft, with 239 people on board, including six Australians and two New Zealanders, disappeared about an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport on March 8. “We cannot and will not abandon the families of the crew and passengers of MH370,” he said, following criticism of how the search operation was handled, particularly from relatives of the passengers. Hishammuddin expressed gratitude to Australia, China and all the countries that have joined the so far fruitless search.

Britons prefer William

Britain’s Prince Harry, Kate the Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William, watch a Royal Air Force fly past, as they appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during the Trooping The Colour parade in central London at the weekend.

Queen celebrates birthday The royals have been out in force on the Buckingham Palace balcony to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s 88th birthday.

Some 32 members of the family joined the monarch to watch a military flypast over central London as part of her official birthday celebrations.

However, baby Prince George, whose first birthday is on July 22, wasn’t among them, his parents Prince William and Catherine leaving him to wait a little longer for his first palace balcony appearance.

Earlier, on the Horse Guards Parade ground, senior royals watched the Trooping the Colour event, a lively ceremony that offers an annual dose of traditional British pageantry with soldiers in scarlet tunics and black bearskin hats marching in formation.

The parade, a hangover from preparations for battle when colours or flags were “trooped” down the rank so soldiers could recognise them, marks the Queen’s official birthday.

Her actual birthday is on

April 21 but traditionally the monarch has another in the summer months because the weather is usually better for open-air celebrations.

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip travelled to and from the ceremony in an open carriage, despite a light drizzle.

William, Prince Charles and Princess Anne rode to the parade on horseback in full military uniform.

Catherine rode in an open carriage with Prince Harry and Camilla.

After the parade, the royals appeared on the palace balco-

ny for the flypast, which saw modern Typhoon and Tornado fighter jets roar above the crowds.

Britain’s last remaining airworthy World War Two Lancaster bomber took part, flanked by two Spitfire fighters from the conflict.

As a smiling Queen Elizabeth waved goodbye to the crowds, Prince Philip, in jovial spirits, was animatedly chatting to Harry.

The monarch’s no-nonsense husband turned 93 on Tuesday with a typical lack of fuss.

■ UKRAINE

49 killed in east Ukraine plane downing Pro-Russian rebels have shot down a Ukrainian military transport plane in the separatist east, killing all 49 troops on board.

The weekend attack came hours before top Moscow and Kiev officials were to meet in the Ukrainian capital for 11th-hour gas negotiations aimed at averting a cut in Russian supplies that would also impact large swathes of Europe.

The early morning downing near the airport of rebel stronghold Lugansk came a day after Ukrainian forces notched their biggest success

in the campaign to reunify the splintered nation by reclaiming control of the strategic southeastern industrial port of Mariupol.

The United States on Friday accused Russia of helping in the insurgency by sending tanks and rocket launchers to the pro-Moscow rebels, a charge denied by the Kremlin. Closed-circuit footage of the strike showed a small flash flare when the large Il-76 plane was hit by what Ukrainian officials said was heavy-calibre machinegun fire.

About 30 seconds later,

a massive second burst of light lit up the horizon when it apparently exploded upon hitting the ground while approaching Lugansk airport.

Vladyslav Seleznyov, a spokesman for Ukraine’s selfproclaimed “anti-terrorist operation”, said the plane was carrying nine crew members and 40 paratroopers.

“They all died,” he said.

The four-engine jet was also carrying military equipment.

The Lugansk militants claimed rebel responsibility for the attack, telling Russia’s RIA Novosti state news agency the plane was hit with

a surface-to-air missile.

Ukraine’s new Westernbacked President Petro Poroshenko immediately vowed to punish the guilty and deliver “an adequate response”.

Ukrainian forces suffered further losses on Saturday when pro-Russian gunmen ambushed a border guard convoy in Mariupol, killing three servicemen and wounding four.

Council of Europe Secretary General Thorbjoern Jagland said he was “deeply concerned” by the attack and Poroshenko could “count on our support”.

- AFP

Britons prefer Prince William to the Queen, according to an opinion poll, but both royals are significantly more popular than the UK’s best-known politicians. Of the 2000-plus people surveyed by ComRes for the Sunday Mirror and Independent yesterday, 68 per cent expressed a “favourable” view of the young royal compared with 63 per cent for his grandmother. Prince Charles lagged well behind on 43 per cent but even the heir to the throne enjoyed a better rating than any of the Westminster figures. London mayor Boris Johnson came closest to a regal score on 41 per cent - with Prime Minister David Cameron pipping Ukip’s Nigel Farage by 28 per cent to 26 per cent.

Tsunami warning cancelled A tsunami warning for the Cocos Islands has been cancelled after a shallow 6.6-magnitude underwater earthquake struck the southern Indian Ocean. The warning was issued on Saturday night following the quake northwest of Perth, at a depth of only about 7km, but was cancelled hours later when the risk of a tsunami abated.

Ten migrants die Italian sailors have recovered 10 bodies of migrants after their rubber dinghy sank off the Libyan coast. Thirty-nine migrants were rescued after the vessel sank on Friday afternoon 40 nautical miles from the Libyan coast, the navy said on Saturday, adding that the search for survivors would continue.

A frigate and a patrol boat deployed to the scene, backed up by a helicopter and a merchant ship. An Italian tanker, which has picked up some 700 migrants from stricken vessels in recent days, along with the 10 bodies, is headed towards Sicily where it’s expected this morning.

Having faith in strong opinions Stu Oldham

EDITOR

E

very day on this opinion page, the Ashburton Guardian sets aside space for readers to tell you what is on their minds.

In publishing letters to the editor, the newspaper provides a vital public forum for the free and frank exchange of views.

Some letters shine a light on issues that affect your community.

Sometimes, they hold a blowtorch to the people involved.

Many simply provide information. They tell you what is happening; they clarify detail; they thank, praise and champion.

Your newspaper is grateful that you trust it to publish your views. It also values free speech and encourages it on its pages.

With this in mind, the letters rules published on this page have been retooled to ensure confidence that what is printed is honest, fair and accurate.

Writers will continue to be asked to supply their name, address and telephone number before their letters are considered for publication.

But, if they seek it, they will also have to explain why they want your newspaper to present their honestly held opinion behind a nom de plume.

This subtle amendment is not a clever way to avoid uncomfortable discussion. It is to value the trust implicit on this page.

It can be difficult to present a view or challenge others in a province where there are so many interconnected relationships. Some worry they will be unduly affected by having an opinion or by making a point.

That is why your newspaper has allowed nom de plumes in the past and that is why, after considering each request on its merits, it reserves the right to use them in the future.

A request for anonymity will be balanced with the substance of the letter. It cannot be a veil for potshots, accusations and unsupported claims. It also will not mean that claims will be left unanswered. Rights of reply will be offered and alternative views will be aired.

Your newspaper will always support truth – but it must be sure it understands why a writer wants to soften the courage behind their convictions.

When our primary sector succeeds, NZ succeeds N

ew Zealand has a proud tradition in the primary industries – we’re recognised as leaders, exporting primary produce for over 120 years.

Proof of our expertise in primary industries was on display for all to see at last week’s National Fieldays.

I was delighted to attend for two days in my role as Associate Minister of Primary Industries and even more delighted to find time to drop by the stands of some of the agricultural businesses based in Rangitata and gauge how exposure at Fieldays was of benefit to them.

invested $708 million of industry–Government funds across 18 projects with a projected annual return of up to $11.1 billion by 2025. Sustainable Farming Funds are driving 906 projects supported by $122.8 million in Government funding to deliver economic, environmental, and social benefits.

As international markets become more sophisticated and competitive, it is crucial New Zealand’s primary industries keep pace.

A recent report highlights employment in the sector could increase by 50,000 by 2025. For this we need our best and brightest. There’s good capacity in our tertiary educa-

tion system to meet this need.

The challenge is to inspire more young people to obtain good qualifications and work in the sector. Our new combined primary sector ITO, the EPIC challenge, and dedicated primary sector institutions will all play a part alongside the industry in achieving this. The new industry-led “Land Your Dream Job” campaign launched at Fieldays, aims to show young people our jobs aren’t all early mornings and mud.

We are committed to supporting rural families and ensuring rural children are getting support to reach their potential.

National Standards are keeping parents informed and our upgrade of school IT systems allow schools and students to share resources, across New Zealand and around the world.

We’re investing $300 million to enable faster rural broadband, with more than 149,000 rural homes, schools, and businesses

already benefitting.

Since 2009 our graduate bonding schemes have supported more doctors, nurses, midwives, vets, and teachers for rural areas and we’ve invested more than $22 million invested into rural primary health care services.

We made GP visits and prescriptions free for children under six, and from July 2015, we’re extending this to all children under 13.

We’re supporting business by opening new markets and have a Business Growth Agenda focused on creating more jobs, raise incomes, and build a more productive and competitive economy.

We believe successful economic and environmental policy can, and must, go hand in hand. We know the important decisions we make today are vital to New Zealand’s economic and environmental performance, now, and for the future.

Monday, June 16, 2014

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 Blair Cameron who has spent the last five years studying and working in the United States, and travelling the world.

Blair loving university life W

hen Blair Cameron began his studies at Brown University in the United States, he was immediately recruited to their rugby team.

A former Mid Canterbury representative at football and cricket, Blair had never played rugby before, but he was from New Zealand and that was enough.

Blair grew up in Methven and attended Mt Hutt College until he was offered a full scholarship to study at Li Po Chun United World College in Hong Kong, halfway through Year 12. That was the beginning of his international learning.

Blair moved to the US in September 2009 to undertake a Bachelor’s degree at Brown University, and has spent the past five years living in Providence, Rhode Island.

He has just moved to Washington DC for the next three months.

“Before starting orientation week at the university I had never been to the US before.

The university is pretty well regarded and I was fortunate enough to receive significant funding in scholarships and financial aid, which made it a fantastic opportunity for me both academically and financially,” he said.

His recent move to Washington DC is to work for one of his professors at Brown - Professor James Green, the head of ‘The Brazil Initiative’ at Brown.

“I am working for him on a project called Opening the Archives. Our aim is to release historical government and CIA documents related to Brazil and make them available online to academic researchers all over the world through a digital database.

“I will be working at the US National Archives in Washington DC for the next three months studying documents about to be declassified related to the Brazilian Military Dictatorship of 1964-1985, scanning these documents, indexing them and adding them to the online database we are creating.”

He’ll also use those three months to decide whether he wants to return to work in New Zealand or if he wants to gain more international experience before returning home.

The American university experience has provided the highlights of his five years.

Ashburton abroad

with Blair Cameron in the United States

“I can’t imagine a better university experience than I have had studying at Brown. My classes were outstanding and I was surrounded by some of the best students in the world.

I learnt more than I could have imagined in classes taught by extremely capable and passionate professors.

“The university also afforded me many other opportunities; funding my study abroad in Rio de Janeiro, research fellowships in Ecuador and helping me work with an indigenous community in the Amazon rainforest to start an eco-tourism operation.”

He double majored in International Relations and Latin American Studies, learnt to speak Spanish and Portuguese and travelled throughout Latin America.

“From last July to January this year I was in Rio de Janeiro studying at a Brazilian university and undertaking a research project on the impact developments for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics are having on communities in the city.

He also played rugby while there, and represented Rio de Janeiro state at the Brazilian Rugby Sevens championship.

“When I came to the US I was recruited to play rugby for my university, primarily due to being from New Zealand.

“I had been a footballer when I lived in Mid Canterbury and my only experience with a

rugby ball had been playing Friday night touch sevens in Methven, but I picked up rugby pretty quickly and settled into starting at fullback for the team after a while playing first five for the B side.”

He was surprised at how big rugby was in the US, and how quickly it was strengthening.

“My team had very experienced coaches - a head coach, backs coach, forwards coach, two assistant coaches and two athletic trainers - and we also had former Irish national coach Eddie O’Sullivan coaching us for a few weeks every year during our pre-season training camps.

“We travelled to play teams in

Ireland, Barbados, the Bahamas and Bermuda (twice). This year, we qualified for the national championship after winning the Ivy League playoffs. It was the first time Brown had qualified since 1996, and we finished in the top 12 teams in the country.”

Not bad for a footballer who grew up on a 10 acre block at Highbank and spent his summers rogueing for various farmers around the district.

Blair said living abroad would be so much easier if it wasn’t so expensive to get home and require two full days of travel.

“By far the worst thing about being in the US is being so far away from home. I don’t get to

travel home nearly as much as I would like. My mum and stepdad came over for my graduation ceremony recently and it was the first time I had seen them in over two years.

“There are many, many things I miss from home. The big three are family, friends… and food. Mum brought me a big jar of Marmite and some Whittakers chocolate and I couldn’t have gotten a better graduation gift.

“Facebook and Skype have made keeping in touch a lot easier, but there are many occasions when I would do anything to be able to head out and meet my friends at the Blue Pub for a Speights or two.”

Dwarfed by Uluru

Uluru is a magical place, but as night begins to fall it takes on a special significance.

T

he Milky Way is spread out, a dazzling blanket far over my head and extending as far as the eye can see on this cool desert night, my head tilted so far back to drink it all in that my seat teeters dangerously on the red dirt of the sand dune.

“In the observable galaxy scientists estimate there are more galaxies than there are grains of sand on this planet,” our astronomy guide tells us.

“If you’re not feeling small yet, let me assure you: you are.”

Oh I’m feeling small, all right.

Out in the night of central Australia, I feel dwarfed by the enormity of the landscape around me, and its not just the galaxy overhead that’s doing it.

I suspect it might be the vastness of Australia’s arid heart, spanning the bottom half of the Northern Territory.

Or it could be that as the sun was setting I could see both Uluru and Kata Tjuta peeping above the low rolling dunes, the red rock monolith and the “many heads” of what were formerly known as the Olgas, overlooking a landscape that is stark but never dull, as far as the eye can see.

In this place you’re confronted by time, from the stars billions of years old above you to the earth hundreds of millions of years old beneath your feet.

Like an elephant’s hide, what from a distance seems like a smooth, solidified cascade of rock is in fact craggy and weathered, the outdoor exposure turning its natural arkose grey sandstone that famous orange.

Over several days I approach the rock in as many different ways as possible and each time I’m left breathless: first the new, on the back of a HarleyDavidson motorcycle during a leisurely midday ride through the desert, the dry wind whipping at my hair. Then the old, on the back of a camel in the pre-dawn darkness, trudging through the sand as the sun slowly rises in front of our convoy.

The former Mid Canterbury prop missed out on an international fixture last year at the Blues through injury but has avoided that fate again this year to line up against the English tourists. Perry will packing down with Corey Flynn and Nepo Laulala while fellow loosehead Joe Moody has been named in the reserves for his first game since he broke his leg in last year’s ITM Cup final. Flanker Matt Todd has been released by the All Blacks to join the team.

Rakaia’s Andrew Letham offloads to Oscar Pamment against Lincoln in the Combined Country Cup semi-finals at Rakaia on Saturday.

Final berths elude local sides

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Methven and Rakaia were bundled out of the Combined Country Cup semi-finals on Saturday.

In a rerun of last year’s semifinal Rakaia lost on their home turf to Lincoln 13-19, while Methven went down to Waihora 5-13.

As they did in the 2013, Lincoln dominated the first 40 minutes and held off a Rakaia comeback, which fell agonisingly short, to advance to their eighth combined final.

Rakaia rarely fired a shot in the first half as Lincoln controlled the game to lead 13-3 at the break.

An “attitude adjustment” at half-time had Rakaia storm back into the match with a

try to Richard Burns that was converted by Fluker, who then kicked a penalty to level the scores before two crucial moments.

Nathan Fridd had the ball knocked from his grasp in the act of scoring and Burns was dragged down just short.

Instead of Rakaia going ahead with a try, Lincoln marched up field and kicked a penalty, then repeated the dose for a six point lead which they held on to despite Rakaia’s efforts.

“They were really polished and correct at the start, but for us to stand back and watch was criminal,” Foxcroft said.

“We came back into it and went pretty close but just ran out out of time.”

In Tai Tapu Methven couldn’t

get things going when it mattered to go down to Waihora.

“We made too many mistakes and didn’t look after the ball, which you can’t afford to do in final rugby,” Methven coach Dale Palmer said.

“Then we started trying too hard and the more we did the more things weren’t working.”

Methven lost halfback Sam Lock to a broken jaw saving a try in the opening minutes, before Waihora kicked a penalty.

The visitors responded with a try to Jonetani Baleamoto, however, poor ball security allowed Waihora to reclaim the lead with a converted try to lead 10-5 just before halftime.

Methven continued to toil in the game’s second half but a faltering lineout, more mistakes and stubborn defence de-

nied them from closing the gap.

Dan Maw missed three shots at goal while Waihora were able to land a penalty to extend their lead out to eight, and held on to advance to their first combined final.

In the consolation playoffs, Dan Carter returned (see page 4) to help Southbridge thump Glenmark 51-10, and Burnham Dunsandel beat Darfield 21-8.

It was a better day for the other Mid Canterbury sides as they all registered wins.

In the Canterbury Supporters Trophy Celtic made it two from two beating Ashley 27-20, while in the plate Southern recorded a convincing 41-24 win over Oxford, and Hampstead’s up-and-down season continued, getting up over West Melton 20-17.

All Blacks produce second half blitz

By Wynne Gray When rugby coaches review matches with their squads they distil their appraisal to a few video clips.

They will get into individual instruction but group tuition zeroes in on specific pieces of action.

Coach Steve Hansen acknowledged he had overdone the detail for the opening test with England and that had caused some All Black confusion.

Maybe he needs to dial back even more when he considers the patchy start and soft finish

the All Blacks displayed in their second test victory in Dunedin.

They had a much stronger set-piece platform this week but for long segments that possession did not translate into more accurate production.

Jerome Kaino bruised foes with his battering runs and defence while there was a lack of assurance from his sidekick loosies Richie McCaw and Liam Messam.

That infected Aaron Smith’s work at halfback. Several kicks went north-south to derail momentum and Smith was castled on one promising run to

remind him it’s better to pass than dummy.

The lack of early crisp possession jammed Aaron Cruden until the flow came after halftime and the All Blacks found their tempo with three tries.

Much of the work came from the old K.I.S.S theory about rugby (keep it simple, stupid) where fundamentals are the greatest weapons.

We got a third quarter from the All Blacks where there was superb attention to those fundamentals and they claimed three tries after strong forwards and backs interplay.

The danger had passed, England were beaten and the All Blacks’ resolve eased.

They were not in any danger of defeat but two late converted tries to England left a muted edge to the win.

England will feel that their best group of players will be much sounder for that match and more attuned to the All Blacks style for the tour finale in Hamilton on Saturday.

Motivation will not drop.

England need a late tour reward, the All Blacks want to equal the world record for test victories.

- NZH

Ben Smith can sit on the fence as much as he likes in regard to his positional fate in Hamilton, but the All Black selectors won’t. They will reward him with another run at fullback – regardless of whether Israel Dagg is fit or not. To do anything else would be farcical after Smith delivered what must be the best performance by an All Black fullback since Christian Cullen carved up the Wallabies in the same city in 1997. Smith doesn’t posses the same elusive skills as Cullen but his portfolio is no less effective and his ability to inspire and lift the All Blacks just as sharp.

Irish down Argentines Ireland overcame a scrappy opening to claim their first Test series victory in Argentina yesterday with a 23-17 win over the Pumas in Tucuman. Already 29-17 winners in the first Test played last weekend, the Irish made a nervous start trailing 10-9 at the break in the second Test at the Estadio Jose Fierro.

Joe Schmidt’s side had gone 6-0 ahead following two early Jonathan Sexton penalties and had a man advantage when Matias Cortese was sin binned for tackling without his arms, but the Irish failed to take advantage of their numerical advantage with Andrew Trimble seeing yellow.

And second-half tries from Simon Zebo, and replacement Ian Madigan, ten minutes from time, helped get the visitors home. - AFP

Baby Blacks blow it The Baby Blacks paid dearly for some poor finishing in their IRB Junior World Championship semifinal last night, going down 32-25 to South Africa. New Zealand had two big opportunities to score tries in the first half but dropped the ball, and the ruthless South Africans, who had steamrolled the Junior All Blacks earlier in the tournament, again made them pay. The two teams took the intensity of the tournament to a new level at North Harbour Stadium, in what was easily the game of the tournament. It was a tense final ten minutes, with Els scoring for the Springboks with only minutes of the game to play.

South Africa now plays England in the final on Friday night at Eden Park, after England destroyed the Irish side 42-15, while New Zealand will battle Ireland for third.

Eels not missing Hayne Chris Sandow has proved Parramatta are more than a one-man band this NRL season, stepping into the imposing shoes of Jarryd Hayne to star at fullback in the Eels’ 22-12 win over Canterbury yesterday. With Hayne absent on NSW State of Origin duty, Sandow was at his livewire best at the back for the Eels, proving to be a constant problem for the Dogs’ defence with ball in hand, the enigmatic playmaker continuing his dramatic resurgence under new coach Brad Arthur. Sandow started the year in reserve grade but Arthur has shown he can get the best out of the former South Sydney halfback and the 25-year-old stepped up to the challenge of playing fullback, helping the Eels to a breakthrough win with a hand in two of their five tries. In 29 previous games without Hayne the blue and golds have won just four times.

Bennett coy on future Wayne Bennett doesn’t see his Newcastle future any clearer despite the NRL finalising its takeover of the Knights. Bennett has a year remaining on the million-dollar-a-season contract he agreed with former owner Nathan Tinkler, who ended his tumultuous four-year reign last month. NRL chief Dave Smith announced on Saturday a deal had been reached with Tinkler’s Hunter Sports Group, with the arrangement designed to stabilise the club until a long-term owner can be found.

Origin debut for Hunt?

Either Queensland are about to pull off their most elaborate ruse or a desperate Maroons will roll the dice and thrust rookie halfback Ben Hunt into the State of Origin game two cauldron. A comeback rivalling Allan Langer’s miraculous 2011 return or Trevor Gillmeister’s 1995 hospital discharge may be needed by Maroons No.7 Daly Cherry-Evans in order to feature in a must win Origin II clash after he cut a forlorn figure yesterday.

The Manly playmaker spent the majority of their Origin II dress rehearsal - yesterday’s opposed session with the Queensland Under 18s - icing his troublesome knee in front of TV cameras at their Gold Coast camp. As Cherry-Evans looked on, Hunt - armed with just 13 games experience as an NRL starting halfback - spent the entire session as Queensland No.7. - AAP

Roberts the X Factor Gold Coast’s sputtering attack may finally have its spark in young recruit James Roberts. The highly-rated outside back, already cut loose by South Sydney and Penrith for off-field issues, will make his debut for the Titans in tonight’s clash with Melbourne at Cbus Super Stadium as both teams look to turn around recent poor form. Titans coach John Cartwright believes Roberts’ ability to break the line could be the key to his team finally finding some cohesion and punch with the ball in hand. Cartwright’s men have only scored 20 or more points on three occasions this season, and he’s hoping 21-yearold Roberts can change their fortunes as they try to end a fourgame losing streak.

Hampstead-Collegians’ Emma Mealings attempts to beat a Craighead defender in the Mid-South Canterbury senior women’s hockey competition at the NBS Ashburton hockey turf on Saturday.

Young team breaks duck

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Hampstead-Collegians finally got a win, coming from behind to beat Craighead 2-1 in the Mid-South Canterbury senior women’s hockey competition at the NBS Ashburton Hockey Turf on Saturday.

After coming so close on several occasions, with four draws from seven games, the teenage side came back from a goal down to lead 2-1, and then held on for their first win.

Craighead took a 1-0 lead with the lone goal in the first half before Hampstead-Collegians equalised from a penalty corner, with Jaimee Smith

adding the finishing touch.

They then went up two one when Brittney Hindson scored in a goalmouth scramble with 10 minutes to go.

In the previous meeting Craighead had equalised with five minutes to go but a determined defence led by captain Grace Thompson held on for the maiden win.

There were some nervous moments watching the clock count down, but a “proud and ecstatic” coach Donna Mealings was thrilled that her side had finally got the monkey of their back.

“This competition has been a huge step up for them, and now

they have a taste of what it feels like to win it will hopefully go a long way to securing a few more.”

Hampstead claimed a win by default from Timaru Girls to remain on top of the table.

In the men’s competition Wakanui Blue had to hang on for a 1-0 win over Tainui in Timaru.

In an even first half Hayden Sinclair got his obligatory goal before Blue spent the majority of the second half in their own half defending – but defended well enough to deny Tainui an equaliser.

Wakanui Black were lucky to escape Timaru with a 2-2 draw with Cambridge in the first

game defending champions haven’t won this season, but with the amount of opportunities they had were unlucky not to have won.

Ryan Hampton put Black ahead 1-0, but Cambridge struck twice to lead 2-1 at halftime.

Black had several chances saved or sail wide in the second half before Hugh Copland converted from a penalty corner with two minutes to go to salvage a draw.

After their lucky escapes in Timaru the Wakanui sides, are set to face off this weekend but have rescheduled the game to Thursday June 27.

Black Sticks finish World Cup strongly

By David Leggat Neither side made the semi-finals but both men’s and women’s Black Sticks ended their World Cup campaigns on a winning note in The Hague.

After the women’s team comprehensively beat China 4-0 to seal fifth place, the men last night triumphed over Spain, winning a penalty shootout 4-1, after scores were locked 1-1 at

the end of regulation time.

The result meant New Zealand finished seventh, one spot lower than their world ranking.

Kane Russell put New Zealand in front with a fine drag flick shot at a penalty corner in the first half. Spain equalised through Blanco Lleonart from a penalty corner when goalkeeper Devon Manchester fumbled a block and the ball rolled over the line. Hugo Inglis, Blair Hil-

ton, Steve Edwards all goaled in the shootout, while Manchester stopped two of Spain’s first three efforts. That left Child with the job of sealing the win, which he did comfortably.

“We’re really pleased,” captain Dean Couzins said. “It does make a big difference to how you feel at the end of a tournament and on the majority of chances I think we deserved it.”

Midfield dynamo Anita Punt

scored twice with penalty corner shots in the Black Sticks women’s win over China.

Captain Kayla Whitelock scored from a penalty stroke while striker Krystal Forgesson, with a clever overhead shot, got the other goal.

Both teams return to New Zealand and after a short break are into preparations for next month’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Ashburton Guardian 17

In brief

Perfect Indikator digs deep The tenacity that was such a feature of Indikator’s record fourth Gr.3 Rotorua Cup victory this season has enabled the winter warrior to keep his perfect record intact in his new role.

The rising 11-year-old turned in another resolute performance to win Saturday’s Manawatu ITM Awapuni Hurdles to remain unbeaten after three starts over the smaller fences.

“I eased up on him after Hawke’s Bay and he was always going to be a bit vulnerable in this one on the heavy going,” said co-trainer Keith Opie, who prepares Indikator with his son

Gavin at Te Aroha.

Indikator was successful in his jumping debut at Ellerslie last winter before he won a restricted open hurdle last month at Hastings with a return visit there planned in a fortnight’s time.

“I’ve always had the Hawke’s Bay Hurdles at the back of my mind – it’s the ideal track for him and I can’t see us going to Wellington, I’ve got my doubts about the (heavy) track down there.”

Indikator always had the leaders within his sights at Awapuni and rider Craig Thornton let the Sandtrap gelding stride

forward 800 metres a notable double for from home.

Thornton, whose “It was hard Cambridge stable work in that heavy produced Guru Girl ground and I tried to win the opening to hold him up for event at Ruakaka. as long as I could,” Big Brownie finhe said. ished a game third They were purahead of the Kevin sued relentlessly by Myers-trained Aintree and after Jockey Craig Thornton Houndscry, whose they took the final stablemate Rioch fence on terms it was Indikator raced fiercely early before rider who got the deciding stride in, Matt Gillies let him go to the much to Thornton’s relief. front.

Bridgman runners in action at Hawera Matamata’s powerful Te Akau racing stable will be well represented at the Hawera meeting today with three members of the Jason Bridgman prepared team in action.

Bridgman, who currently lies second on the national trainer’s premiership ladder with 67 wins for the season, will have promising maiden My Fiancee

M4

in race 3 as his first runner of the day with stable manager Jeff Dore confident of a forward showing.

“She should probably have won a race by now but just hasn’t been able to round off some solid efforts,” he said.

“She went very nicely at the Te Teko trials recently and on that form I would think she is

close to a win which could come today.

“Track conditions will play a major role in all of our runner’s performances and if they can cope with the heavy surface then they should all acquit themselves well.”

Race winner Fast Fiction will resume in race 4 after a ten month break from the track

while the Fortuna Syndications owned Redoute’s Chance will make his debut in race 5 on the card.

Premiership leader Matthew Cameron will ride all three of the Bridgman runners as he looks to extend his current 16 win lead over Johnathon Parkes with just seven weeks left in the current season.

Park off limits Alexandra Park is to end its small daily training operations after “dodging a bullet” in a recent training mishap. The ATC has advised trainers from August the track will no longer be available as a training centre, but will remain open for trials and workouts to compliment its near weekly racing schedule.

ATC racing manager Kevin Smith says the decision is based around health and safety issues and brings Alexandra Park into line with other suburban tracks like Addington, where trainers have to ask for permission for a private workout. “A few weeks ago we had a horse get loose in training and run uncontrollably around the carpark area near the main stand and the sports bar.

Partners recoup costs Goodwood Stud’s William Fell and his partner Rosie Myers recouped expenses for a recent overseas holiday when they enjoyed success at opposite ends of the North Island on Saturday. Fell and his father Rex race the talented but injury-plagued Barbaric, who returned to his best at Ruakaka, while at Awapuni Myers recorded her first winner since she suffered a dislocated shoulder in a fall at Hastings in early April. The Palmerston North-based couple recently returned from a trip to Japan, which took in the running of the Derby in Tokyo, and Myers was quickly back to winning form when she rode She’s Slinky to victory.

■ GROUP D

In brief Physio’s Cup over England physio Gary Lewin is to return home from the World Cup after suffering a dislocated ankle while celebrating Daniel Sturridge’s first-half equaliser in the side’s 2-1 defeat against Italy.

Sturridge celebrated his closerange strike in his normal style, while Lewin jumped off the bench and injured himself in the process.

“That was a very sad moment for us,” England boss Roy Hodgson said. “In celebrating the goal he jumped up, landed on a water bottle and dislocated his ankle. t was very painful. The doctor set it, put it back in at the side of the field, but it’s the end of the World Cup for Gary.”

Terror alert ignored A security briefing ordered by Fifa less than a month before it awarded Qatar the 2022 World Cup found the Gulf state was a “high risk” target for terror attacks during the tournament, the Sunday Times reported. The British newspaper accused members of football’s world governing body of having “ignored its own terror alert” in choosing Qatar in a secret ballot in December 2010, in a third week of revelations raising questions about the decision. The security review of bid countries, ordered by FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke in November 2010, reportedly found that Qatar would find it “very difficult to deal with a major incident” during the World Cup. - AFP

Cahill in elite company Tim Cahill rightly belongs among soccer’s elite as one of only eight players to score goals in three World Cups, Australian coach Ange Postecoglou says. Cahill headed Australia’s sole goal in a 1-3 loss to Chile in Cuiaba to join the ranks of best-ever World Cup strikers. Cahill has scored in the past three World Cups - only two players, Brazilian legend Pele and German Uwe Seeler, have scored in four.

Suarez in demand Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez says his team desperately needs star striker Luis Suarez back on the field after being stunned by Costa Rica. The South American champions slumped to a 3-1 defeat that could kill their hopes of getting through the tough World Cup Group D. And ahead of their clash with England in Sao Paulo on Friday (AEST), Tabarez said he needs Suarez to be fully fit. The 27-year-old Liverpool forward was kitted up on the bench on Saturday, even warming up at one stage but Tabarez deemed he was not fit enough to throw into the fray. “Suarez is not injured anymore, otherwise he couldn’t have been on the substitutes’ bench,” said Tabarez.

Italy conquers conditions

By Tom Williams Mario Balotelli scored the winner as Italy beat England 2-1 in their World Cup duel in the Amazon, while Costa Rica provided a major shock with an upset win over Uruguay.

AC Milan striker Balotelli nodded past former Manchester City team-mate Joe Hart on 50 minutes to decide the tense Group D encounter at Manaus’s sweltering Amazonia Arena on Saturday.

Italy midfielder Claudio Marchisio had fired the Azzurri into a deserved lead on 35 minutes, rifling home a low shot from outside the area after a wellworked corner routine wrongfooted the English defence.

England struck back with a fine goal on the counter-attack. Raheem Sterling released Wayne Rooney down the left and the Manchester United star’s cross was buried by Daniel Sturridge.

The Italian victory leaves Cesare Prandelli’s side in pole qualifying position from Group D. The only blot on a satisfying

day for Italy was the absence of goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, ruled out hours before kick-off with a twisted ankle.

England now face Uruguay in Sao Paulo next Thursday (Friday AEST) with the loser of that contest facing almost

certain elimination. “It’s disappointing, we put so much effort into it,” said England captain Steven Gerrard after.

“Italy were a very good team tonight and we fell a bit short.

But we’re still very much alive in this group,” he added.

Italy manager Prandelli offered words of encouragement for the vanquished English.

“They have one of the strongest attacks at the World Cup,” he said. “That’s why I am satisfied because we played a really great team.”

Dutch fans in raptures after thumping Spain

A

s I am brushing the Copacabana sand from my feet in the metro in Rio de Janeiro I realise life just doesn’t get much better.

I just witnessed my beloved Dutch side crush the Spanish 5-1 along with tens of thousands of football fans on the big screen at the Fifa Fan Fest, and most of them seemed to relish the demolition of the world champions.

According to one Australian fan, the result would send shockwaves through the footballing world and had truly set the World Cup alight.

Like in the 2006 and 2010 cups, the Fan Fests are just about as good, or at times better than being at the actual match, especially with a backdrop like the Copacabana.

Supporters from Argentina to Ethiopia (yes indeed) mingled to make new friends, talk

football, swap shirts or give rival nations a bit of stick.

One Spanish fan was so disgusted with his team’s effort that he offered to swap his expensive strip with my ragged old orange t-shirt, despite the protestations from his girlfriend.

An hour later though, the desperate Spaniard tracked me down in the crowd and begged me to reverse the swap.

“It was my friend’s shirt,’’ he said sheepishly. “And he was not happy I had given it away.”

Naturally I relented after our moment of glory and my new friend promised to send me a Spanish strip in New Zealand.

During the match, an English supporter on honeymoon was interested to hear I was from New Zealand as his estranged father was a Maori expat from a small town in Northland.

He remembered the name of the place, but the West Ham fan quite enjoyed having a Maori player as one of the stars of the Hammers.

Another person with Kiwi connection on the Copacabana was Jack Tame who was having a quiet beer after a few days on the road for TVNZ. The correspondent from New York was clearly enjoying the World Cup and not keen to go back to the Big Apple.

First though he had to console his buddy in a Socceroos shirt after Australia’s firstround defeat to Chile.

said to have made the trek to Brazil and hundreds were at the Fan Fest along with thousands of Chilean supporters who seem to dominate every street corner.

Chile took a quick 2-0 lead and the Australians were preparing themselves for a repeat of the 5-0 humiliation against Germany four years ago.

Many started drowning their sorrows, but after Tim Cahill put them back in the frame, the boys from Down Under rushed back from the bar to the big screen. After an emotional rollercoaster ride, the hope of a positive result was destroyed by a late Chilean goal, but the fans were proud of their young Socceroos.

“But it won’t get any easier against Spain and Holland,’’ one fans summarised. ”But just watch us in four years.”

England in charge Kumar Sangakkara’s first Test hundred at Lord’s helped the tourists but England remained in control of their series opener with Sri Lanka on day three. The tourists were 7-415 at stumps, with lefthander Sangakkara’s 147 key to their avoiding the follow-on. The 36-year-old also became the first man to score hundreds in three consecutive innings on three separate occasions in Test cricket.

England, however, still lead by 160 runs after Joe Root’s maiden Test double century had taken them to a total of 9-575 declared. “It feels very special to get on the honours board,” said the left-handed Sangakarra, the seventh Sri Lankan to score a Test hundred at Lord’s.- AFP

Open Division 3 had Aleisha Stoddart beat Mitchell Stoddart 3-0, and Liam Schikker took out division four with a 3-0 win over Jarod Hopwood 3-0.

Craig the shooting star of New Zealand cricket eight for 188 in the first test in Jamaica this week. It was the best return by a New Zealand bowler on debut. He also hit a six from the first ball he faced in test cricket, believed to be a world first. “I’m just more than happy I didn’t embarrass myself over here and got stuck in,” Craig said.

Craig is used to flying under the radar. Black Caps offspinner

Nathan McCullum has been the undisputed king of spin in Otago for the last decade. Left-arm tweaker Nick Beard - Craig’s flatmate - has carved out an impressive provincial record.

Both McCullum and Beard also play for Albion. So, whether at home, at the club or playing for the province, Craig was, at best, second best.

Albion coach Tony Branks

believes it was that competition which forced Craig into changing his approach.

“Initially, he bowled more like Nick does,” Branks said.

“He actually bowled quite quick and darted the ball in.

Over the last two years he has really worked on flighting it.

He had to do something different because he was not going to push Nathan out.” - ODT

The Mid Canterbury Squash interclub competition has been up and running for several weeks, and in Division I Ashburton is taking charge, with 56 points on the board. Pleasant Point is best of the rest on 35, while Rakaia, Methven and Geraldine all have 31 points.

Division II is as tightly competitive as ever, with Temuka on 58 points, Celtic 57, Pleasant Point 56 and Geraldine 55, so the leadership of that grade is up for grabs every week. In division III Methven has opened up a nine-point lead over Celtic with 73 points, Pleasant Point sits in third on 52 points while the Collegiate 2 side is on 46.

Division IV sees Point leading the way on 71 points from Celtic on 66, Methven 55 and Geraldine 51.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) It’s important not to rush matters on the home and family front, choose to stay in and appreciate the moment as much as possible.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Today is all about giving the past and unsaid words a voice, with a high chance of misunderstandings, especially if you put words in others’ mouths.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Jupiter’s exuberance and foresight calls for some blind faith today, daring to believe in what’s possible and in what you’re worth.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) With some buttons pushed over the last few days, it comes when the doors are open to second chances on the communication and relationship fronts.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Be fairly careful and wily when it comes to time management, recognising when you need time to hear yourself think.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) With some of the most important weeks of the year for personal and professional networking coming up, take the time to connect with old friends.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) In his last full day in retrograde motion in your career sector Mercury is bringing a mix of intellectual savvy and hindsight and slowing things down.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Mercury is not only making it hard to focus, but is bringing a mix of adventure and nostalgia that gives you a chance to make up for lost time.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Until Mercury retrogrades out of your financial sector tomorrow you’ve got his smart head for money and hindsight to work with.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) This is the last day where the doors are open to second chances, especially when it comes to giving the past and unsaid words a voice.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) In his last full day in your work sector Mercury is holding things back, doing all he can to keep you grounded as long as possible.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) Your most important and busiest professional year in a decade is due to kick off, one that will grow in proportion exponentially over the next 12 months.

College’s Chelsea Corbett puts pressure on Celtic’s Claire Polson in their premier netball second round match on Saturday.

College girls end Celtic’s winning run

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

College A ended Celtic’s win streak with a 28-20 win in premier netball on Saturday.

The defending premiers finally succumbed to a defeat after 20 wins in a row as a second quarter surge from the schoolgirls set them up for the eight goal win.

Down 4-7 after the game’s first quarter, a positional change - moving Chelsea Corbett to centre - saw a big momentum

swing in the second quarter.

“Our defensive unit was making a lot of turnovers but we were finding it hard to get it into the circle so we decided to make a positional change,” College coach Angela Mitchell said.

“Chelsea’s intensity against their experienced mid-court made a big difference.”

The change saw College, which went within one goal of Celtic in round one, make a major turnaround and take the

second quarter 13-3 to lead by seven at halftime.

After the high-scoring second quarter the defence did the job in the third holding Celtic to one goal and seven of their own for a 24-11 lead.

Celtic, having some changes in personnel due to injury and pregnancy but still boasting an experienced line-up, came home strong taking the final quarter 9-4, but it wasn’t enough to avoid their first loss since the 2012 premier final.

For the College side the win over Celtic followed their first win in the Supernet secondary school competition, beating Marion College 33-20 on Wednesday, with a solid week’s effort setting the bar for the rest of the season.

“We have found a new confidence,” Mitchell said.

“We have had a lot of time together so we have some consistency and are keeping our composure.

“Now it’s about every time

we go out on court putting that kind performance out there.”

In the other matches Hampstead claimed their first win of the second round beating Collegiate 39-20, and United proved too strong for Methven 21-17.

In the senior A competition College B remains on track to return to premier for the third round with a 35-22 win over Methven B, while rivals Rakaia went down to College Year 10A 27-33 and Allenton accounted for Celtic B 27-22.

BoP Magic facing fired-up Firebirds for final berth Avoiding a repeat slow start is Queensland’s first goal as they chase another trans-Tasman netball championship grand final appearance.

The Firebirds host the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic in to-

night’s preliminary final in Brisbane knowing a win will give them a third grand final appearance in the past four seasons.

But defender Clare McMeniman warns victory won’t come unless the team can improve on

Perry gets to play the Poms P15

their performance in last week’s semi-final loss against the Melbourne Vixens, eventually going down 52-47 as the Vixens booked a grand final berth.

Queensland beat the Magic in the final round of the regu-

lar season, although McMeniman says that will count for little if the Firebirds don’t hit the ground running.

“You can’t play catch-up in finals netball,” McMeniman said.

“We came up with a win over in

New Zealand so we’ll be looking to continue along the same lines.”

History is against a Firebirds win; in the past five years, the loser of the major semi-final has failed to bounce back in the following game.
