By Susan Sandys Matariki, the Maori New Year, was celebrated at the Hakatere Marae yesterday. Families representing about 100 people turned out to share a hangi, listen to a presentation about Matariki, and participate in games and waita. Among them was Lawrence Kaukau, who brought along his 10-year-old son Calais and his friends. From the North Island originally, he wanted to expose his son to their Maori heritage, as in Mid Canterbury
Check out our video there were not a lot of opportunities to do that. “There’s not a lot of it down here, and when we do have anything I try and involve him in it,” Mr Kaukau
said. In 2011 he had taken Calais to meet some of their ancestors, and visited five maraes in the Ruatoki and Lake Waikaremoana areas.
“I met family I didn’t know,” he said. Eddie Kohunui was among those sharing in the Matariki celebrations at the marae yesterday, and was helping cook the hangi. He said the event was about food and family and it was “just a good gathering, getting people together”. The hangi was lifted out about 1.30pm, and included lamb, chicken, potatoes, pumpkin and carrots. Hakatere Marae committee chairman Bryan Clarke said Matariki was a time for remembering those who had passed on, and a time for looking ahead.
Several outbreaks hit local classrooms By Myles Hume

Mid Canterbury’s Karen Hesketh-Palmer and her children protested in support of the Dalai Lama as the Tibetan Buddhist visited Christchurch yesterday.
Parents are being warned to closely monitor their children’s health, with outbreaks of bacterial skin infections, sniffs and coughs entering Mid Canterbury classrooms. Neil Simons, the president of the Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association, said there was heightened concern over whooping cough and skin infections in the district. It also comes after Allenton School principal Graham Smith alerted parents in his latest newsletter to an impetigo outbreak, also known as school sores, at his school. The highly contagious skin infection, one of the most common among
Children are more likely to contract impetigo if their skin has already been irritated by other skin problems, such as eczema, poison ivy, insect bites, and cuts or scrapes due to minor trauma
children, usually produces honey-coloured blisters or sores on the face, neck, hands and diaper area. “This bacterial skin infection is highly contagious and non-treatment does have long-term consequences for a child,” Mr Smith wrote in his newsletter. Children are more likely to contract impetigo if their skin has already been
irritated by other skin problems, such as eczema, poison ivy, insect bites, and cuts or scrapes due to minor trauma. Poor hygiene is often associated with the infection. Mr Simons told the Guardian children should not be at school 24 hours after applying the antibiotic cream treatment for impetigo.

Just over a month ago health authorities were on high alert after a hepatitis A outbreak in Ashburton, forcing a temporary vaccination clinic to be set up at a local kindergarten. Five Ashburton people were found to have the virus, which is caught from faeces of an infected person and passed on through close contact. Mr Simons urged parents to keep ill children well away from school. “In fact, if there’s any suspicion of illness, keep children away,” he said. “There’s tummy bugs, vomiting and colds going around, and it just spreads.” He said children were often in close contact with one another, which led to illnesses being passed on at a phenomenal rate.

Relationship takes deadly twist By Amanda Snow and Lynley Bilby A family is grief-stricken after a woman was found dead at her home and her estranged husband taken into police custody with a cut throat – a violent end to more than 20 years together. A homicide inquiry team yesterday continued a scene examination of the Campbell Street home in Havelock North where the body of the 48-yearold was found alone on Friday night. Police will also return to the nearby Keirunga Road home of her ex-part-
ner who was found in a critical condition by armed officers – and examine a vehicle he was seen driving. On Saturday night, David Bower confirmed his only daughter, Gail, was the dead woman. He told the Herald on Sunday that she was second in charge at the Havelock North ANZ. But she was also dealing with relationship issues and was going through a divorce. Gail’s elderly father said the violence was not the first time for his daughter. “That’s why she wanted to break away.” he said. Bower said he last saw his daugh-
ter last weekend. “She always came around Sunday to give me some money for my groceries.” Yesterday, he was waiting for the police to release her body after she was taken to Palmerston North for a post-mortem examination. Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Foster said police, who have not released the names, weren’t looking for anyone else and were waiting to talk to the injured man. “He hasn’t been interviewed yet but will be when he’s lucid and fit enough to talk. He underwent surgery at Hawke’s Bay Hospital before being
airlifted under police guard to Hutt Hospital. He’s in a stable condition nursing a throat and arm injury.” Foster said a large number of friends and family had been interviewed. He said their two sons, believed to be in their early 20s, were distraught. Foster confirmed the couple had separated several months ago after many years together. Police are appealing to the public for any further sightings of the vehicle, a blue RAV4, on or around Campbell Street and Keirunga Road on Friday between 5pm and 9pm. National MP Craig Foss was among
other parents watching children’s netball in Campbell Street on Saturday morning as 20 detectives and ESR staff investigated the homicide nearby. “It was an absolute shock because it was in the same street as the kids play netball and a lot of people passed the house,” he said. “My thoughts are with the entire Havelock North Village in this difficult time. “Any violence, behind closed doors or otherwise, is an enormous tragedy.” - APNZ

A Mount Hutt College business group, who won the rights to sell toys quickly becoming the latest craze in the US, have grabbed the attention of prominent Canterbury business people. Year 13 pupils Darren Ritchie, Chanaide Fulton, Shally Nacis and Charlie Suyker, all 17, recently claimed the rights to sell Floppets, a ring-like toy that can be attached to fingers, bags and jandals, in New Zealand. The toys have become the latest sensation in the US, with the company selling 1.6 million Floppets in one month. With the aspiring business people merging as part of the Young Enterprise Scheme, this week the group travelled to CPIT in Christchurch to put forward their business idea at the regional Dragons Den competition.
Up against another 40 schools, the group were the overall winners of the competition and also claimed the top marketing award. They were tasked with presenting their business to a panel of three high-profile business people, explaining their product and presenting their plan which they hope will make their business fly. Darren, the business’ director, said the team were stoked to claim the awards and gain the attention of industry leaders. The 17-year-old said the marketability of their product was one of the appealing attributes for the judges with its enticing of impulse buyers, and its collectability and diversity. The team also wooed the judges with their initiative, approaching local businesses to see if they would stock Floppets on their shelves. Along with gaining key contacts in the industry, the team also took away valuable Young Enterprise Scheme points.

Knit day draws the crowds Dozens of people throughout the day turned up to a Worldwide Knit and Public Day event at Ashford Craft Shop on Saturday, including Virginia Cundall (left), 12, and Malina Hofmann, 9. Those visiting got to participate in a range of activities including a felt cupcake making competition, a yarn hunt in the Ashford village and a pom pom competition. A giant French knitter was on display, as were comfort bears and baby booties, both of which are made for charitable initiatives by the store. Nicola Bota said it was great to see people come along and get a taste for knitting and associated crafts first hand. “We had a good day all in all,” she said.

Dunne ‘leaking like a sieve’
Peter Dunne
Embattled former minister Peter Dunne was “leaking like a sieve” and the Prime Minister should take steps to remove him from Parliament, NZ First leader Winston Peters says. Mr Peters, who first accused Mr Dunne of leaking a report into GCSB spying on New Zealand citizens, now claims the United Future leader disclosed secret ministerial information on four other occasions. Mr Dunne stepped down as a minister on Friday but maintained neither he nor any of his staff leaked the GCSB report to Fairfax reporter Andrea Vance. However, he refused to give copies of the emails between himself and Vance to former top public servant David Henry, who investigated the leak, and instead released only edited summaries of 41 emails he had sent to her. He refused access to three more emails he had sent her, as well as the 42 emails she sent him. Mr Peters now claims he has obtained copies of “electronic communications” between Mr Dunne and Vance that indicated he leaked to her on at least four other occasions. The contents included an

internal GCSB survey on declining staff morale; the Novopay payroll system’s impact on KiwiSaver contributions; details of Prime Minister John Key’s involvement in the appointment of his old schoolmate Ian Fletcher as head of the GCSB; and the resignation of National MP Jackie Blue to take up the position of Equal Opportunities Commissioner. Mr Dunne did not reply to the allegations. Mr Peters reiterated his claim on TVNZ’s Q+A programme yesterday morning, saying “a minister is leaking like a sieve”. He said it was an issue of national security and called on Mr Key to do something. “It’s the Prime Minister’s job to [go to] the police and say ‘I’ve got a serious concern here – someone is leaking like a sieve, I’ve got to find out who it is, I’ve got to shut this leak down.’ He did none of those things.” Mr Peters said the GCSB report was not the first to be leaked from the intelligence and security committee, on which Mr Dunne sat and Mr Key is the chairman. “This is deadly serious and I want a proper response from the Prime Minister that sug-
gests, for the first time, that he understands how untoward the behaviour of Mr Dunne was, sufficient that he should go from Parliament as a clear signal on what was and is capable of being construed as a criminal act.” Mr Peters said his party had laid a complaint with police as a clear signal the leak would not be tolerated. “There is no precedent for this in our history, to the best of my knowledge, that someone sitting in such a high position on an intelligence and security committee would be leaking like that.” Asked why Mr Dunne would leak the report, Mr Peters said: “There’s no fool like an old fool.” He would not elaborate on that, saying he was “not going to head down that salacious path”. Asked if Mr Dunne leaked stories to Vance, Fairfax executive editor Paul Thompson said: “We never talk about our confidential sources. I have no comment whatsoever to make, we won’t be going anywhere near that.” At Friday’s press conference where he stood down as a minister, Mr Dunne said his relationship with Vance was completely professional. - APNZ
Methven Volunteer Fire Brigade attended three callouts at the weekend. Yesterday at 2am they were called to a suspicious car fire on Line Road at Lauriston. Police are investigating the fire, which destroyed the abandoned car on the side of the road. On Saturday at 7.30am they were called to a vegetation fire on Blackford Road. Deputy chief Gary Blackwell said a contractor had been burning rubbish on Friday. It became windy early on Saturday and embers ignited logs nearby. Firefighters extinguished the fire before it caused any damage. On Saturday at 11.15am the brigade responded to a fire in a car’s motor on the Ashburton side of Blands Corner on the Methven Ashburton highway. By the time firefighters arrived a following motorist had extinguished the fire with a fire extinguisher. The driver of the car which caught fire was “a wee bit shaken” but grateful the car had been saved by the other motorist.

Woman jumps from car A man is helping police work out how a woman came to jump out of his fast-moving car in Christchurch early this morning. The 27-year-old female passenger is in a critical condition with serious head injuries at Christchurch Hospital after the incident in Halswell around 1.45am. Police said the car was driving at about 70km/h when she jumped out on Branston Street. Her immediate family have been advised, but her name will not be
released until further family members are told. Detective Sergeant Jason Stewart said the driver of the vehicle, who is the partner of the woman, has been spoken to and is assisting police with the investigation. Police have called for witnesses, who may have seen a maroon Toyota Hilux twin cab utility driving on Halswell Junction Road near Shands Road at about 1.45am, to phone Christchurch central police - APNZ on 03 363 7400.

Family want answers By Kurt Bayer Hundreds are expected at a tangi for Adam Morehu, fatally shot by police in a suspected golf club burglary on Saturday, at the same Waitara marae where his mother was farewelled just last month. Family from overseas are returning home to support the “devastated” Morehu family, which is struggling to understand why the 33-year-old labourer from New Plymouth was killed. They are demanding answers from police, and expect to meet
with top brass early this week. Yesterday, they were still waiting for Morehu’s body to be returned. Amokura Panoho, the family’s media liaison, said the tangi will likely be held at Owae Marae in Waitara – where Morehu’s late mum Tania was farewelled last month. “That was a significantly big funeral and we’d expect the same level for Adam,” she said. “We’re still waiting for a large number of family to travel back from overseas, predominantly Australia.” The grieving Morehu whanau say the loss of a “son, father,
No grocery deliveries yet
partner, nephew, mokopuna and friend; Adam Te Rata Charles Morehu as a result of a police shooting” is devastating and hard to bear, so closely after the recent sudden loss of his mother Tania Bailey, who died on May 5 from a brain aneurism. “We are trying very hard to stay strong as a whanau to support Adam’s partner Kaly Gilbert and children Adam Junior and Amarlia, his brother Joshua and father Ed Morehu,” a statement said. “We do not understand yet the circumstances by which Adam has lost his life, how and why this
happened. To that end we will be meeting with the police in the next couple of days to receive more information related to their ongoing investigation.” Morehu and an un-named 32-year-old co-accused, who has now been charged by police, allegedly tripped silent alarms at the Ngamotu Golf Club, off State Highway 3, New Plymouth, just after 4am on Saturday. Two male police officers arrived at the golf club to find shattered glass windows, and say they saw two offenders trying to flee the scene on a motorbike. Police say the two accused
crashed the motorbike down a bank while trying to escape, and a police dog was released. Assistant Commissioner Grant Nicholls said Morehu became aggressive towards police and told officers he was going to kill them before firing a sawn-off rifle at the officers. “While the offender was going through his backpack an officer has removed a Glock from the police vehicle,” said Mr Nicholls. “He heard the offender reloading his firearm and he was shot by police.” Three separate investigations are now under way.

Hoping to raise more than a smile By Gabrielle Stuart
By Sam Morton New World Ashburton won’t be delivering groceries to Mid Canterbury residents any time soon. New World stores in Wellington on Friday collectively announced a home delivery service would be coming soon – launched to rival their closest competitor Countdown. Ashburton store owner Tony Sheppard ruled out the prospect, but said he would be watching the progress at Wellington stores “with interest”. “It will certainly come at an expense, that’s for sure. There are a lot of overheads to consider when promoting a home delivery service and in a place like Mid Canterbury, we haven’t really considered it,” Mr Sheppard said. “I’ll be watching with interest though and seeing if it takes off, but although it has been talked about and bandied around for other stores in the country, I don’t think we’ll be taking part in that change.” The results of a survey released earlier this year show more than 50 per cent of New Zealanders are shopping online for a variety of items such as groceries, clothing, jewellery and gaming products, among other things. But Mr Sheppard remains realistic about the concept, pointing out a significant demand would have to be established to launch the initiative locally – meaning residents could order their groceries from the comfort of their own homes. “In my previous store I have actually done it and I can tell you it doesn’t come cheap,” Mr Sheppard said. “(Also ) there can be some difficulties in terms of what products people receive and disputing orders when they arrive at their door, so although there are certainly a lot of busy people out there wanting the convenience, I still think a lot of people would choose to come to the supermarket as their best option.”
Morehu’s body was taken to Wellington for a post mortem examination, which was expected to be completed late last night. The alleged co-offender, also from New Plymouth, has been charged with two counts of aggravated burglary, as well as being a party to using a firearm against a police officer and using a firearm in the commission of an offence. He will appear at New Plymouth District Court today. Morehu was a childhood friend of Steven Wallace, who was shot dead by Senior Constable Keith Abbott in Waitara in 2000. - APNZ

The smiles of Canterbury kids could help children short on smiles this year. Christchurch photographer Ann Worthy Stephenson has travelled across the district shooting portraits of Canterbury children for her fundraising coffee table book, and still has plenty of pages to fill. Money raised would go towards Cholmondeley in Christchurch, a respite and education centre helping children aged 3 to 12 years who needed a short-term home away from their families. After losing their main building in the Canterbury quakes, Cholmondeley was fundraising to rebuild this year, and she said they were the perfect fit. “I wanted to find something local to raise the money for this year, especially after the last couple of years that Canterbury has had. They’re a fantastic organisation to work with, I can’t say enough good things about them.” In 2010 she shot a similar book to raise money for Make A Wish Foundation, and this year many of the same families were back, she said. “The things kids love are always changing, and when they come back three years older it makes an interesting record to see. You just imagine how it will have changed in 20 or 50 years, and I’m hoping each child will take away a copy of the book to show to their kids and grandkids.” The professional photographer travels across Canterbury to shoot families at their homes or favourite locations, and said it was one of her favourite parts of the job. “It takes me to places I’d never have the opportunity to go otherwise, and I meet so many fantastic people.” She planned to continue shooting until August, and have the book printed before Christmas this year.

Parliament’s tale of two Peters I
t has been a tale of two Peters on the political front this weekend, with Peter Dunne quitting as a minister and Winston Peters hounding him to walk the parliamentary plank. Prime Minister John Key forced Mr Dunne, the UnitedFuture party’s only MP, to take a hike to the back benches after he refused to fully co-operate with an inquiry into the leak of a topsecret report into the GCSB spy agency. Having initially backed Mr Dunne, on Wednesday Mr Key
OUR VIEW
demanded the beleaguered MP release the email communication with the reporter who revealed the spy report’s findings. Political commentators are divided on whether Mr Dunne’s days in Parliament are indeed done and dusted. Even before last week’s troubles caught up with the dapper gent, known for his somewhat sanctimonious demeanour, bowties and coiffured
locks, UnitedFuture was in strife – Mr Dunne did not have a party. With fewer than 500 members, the party has been deregistered by the Electoral Commission. In effect UnitedFuture no longer exists, with the exception of Mr Dunne. Speaker David Carter is still unsure how to deal with this change of status, but Mr Dunne’s detractors have wasted no time putting the boot in.
The saga could drag on until the next elections – some 18 months away Michelle Nelson CHIEF REPORTER
Enter the indomitable New Zealand First leader Mr Peters – who like Cujo, the subject of psychological horror novel by Stephen King about a rabid dog, just keeps coming back.
He has compared Mr Dunne to a stateless person; and publicly accused him of “leaking information like a sieve”. Information to which Mr Peters claims he is privy to. Labour’s Trevor Mallard questioned whether Mr Dunne could continue to occupy
the next elections – some 18 months away. Time will tell whether Mr Dunne decides to weather the storm, but should he decide to ditch, at least he will retire in comfort, with the backing of a generous superannuation package – unlike that other recent parliamentary casualty Aaron Gilmore. But behind all the sometimes amusing bravado and bluster – the matter at hand concerns national security, and in that respect is extremely concerning.
Parliament as a “party leader” and frontbencher – as he has no party. Others, like former Labour Party president Mike Williams say the writing is on the wall for Mr Dunne’s 30-year career in Parliament. The saga could drag on until

No! No! No! Enough of this handing out our money to every minority group that puts their hand out. It’s just too much of a burden on pensioners and other beneficiaries. $250 a week does not go that far!

Street upgrade As two of the residents who have complained over a period of more than five years about the state of the north end of Thomson Street we would like to thank the council for finally upgrading our street. We realise that the council had delayed the upgrade while the new sub-division was taking shape, but frequent patching was required over many years to fill the huge potholes which made driving rather hazardous. Because of the poor base to the road, patching was soon dislodged, exposing the potholes once again with monotonous regularity. Special thanks are due to the Fulton Hogan team who completed the work in the time allocated. We appreciated the consideration given to residents allowing access in and out of our properties while work was underway. The men went out of their way to accommodate the needs of

Rural roads Just to keep the ball rolling on councillor Wilson’s letter (June 5) regarding rural roads, they are not the only ones in a bad state – most of the town streets are in the same condition. Footpaths are covered in moss and very dangerous. Come on council you seem to have money for unwanted buildings – so spray the streets before someone breaks a leg in a fall. I am sure I’m not alone in this thought. David McCormick
District council The current administration will best be remembered for its secrecy and lack of inclusiveness, invited unelected members of the inner circle of friends appear to have more control of district funds than those whom we elect. This trend is continued with the shedding of senior staff and ultimately will impact on the district by way of a cohesion-less senior panel
who will no doubt be required to spend much time just studying the District Map before being able to answer any question. A further point of concern is the published invitation for candidates to turn up at the council office at some date for educational purposes. I would strongly suggest that this be ignored, the occasion will only be used to persuade and browbeat down the path of “we know best”, when rather the whole situation and record indicates otherwise. There are so many aspects of the district administration and direction that are crying out for councillors with vision and the determination to take their ideas to the table and carry them through. I note a councillor is making a case for roading concerns in the Hinds area; I would suggest that the problem has existed for some considerable time and the cold breeze from the ballot box should have been evident from day one. The mayor’s complaint over lessening subsidy is similarly misguided and misleading the roading money should have been there from rates not being blown on an unaffordable art gallery and the stadium project. Monuments are not a prime requisite of good governance. MN Richards

Red and green v blue: the battle of the colours A

residents for access at all times. Thank you to the team. Bruce and Betty Arnst
rtistically, I’m not really sure what you get if you mix Red and Green; quite an unseemly mess, I shouldn’t wonder. Untainted, deep-veined pure Blue royal even - must surely be a better bet. But this is the political mix facing us as the months towards Election ’14 tick away. Red and Green seem almost literally to have nailed their garish colours to the mast and to be relying on our eye being so enamoured of the colourful brilliance there displayed and (colour) blinded to the lure of any alternative vision that our vote can be depended upon. Blinding. Not perhaps blinding us with science, logic or argument, weight of policy or depth of conviction but just blinding us. This approach appears also to be based on equally vivid language designed to distract and intrigue and to hint at the imminence of a new and sparkling dawn to burst upon us if we but follow our feelings. “Feelings” are, after all, integral to the make-up of a committed Green. Superstars of this glorious revelation, joint leaders Ms Metiria Turei and Dr “Print” Russel Norman, are leaving no stone unturned - that is that cannot also be seamlessly replaced in its original location as to leave
Nick Lindo
EYE ON POLITICS
no environmental scar - to direct our thoughts and actions towards their new, if possibly reluctant, “partner”, the “Red” Labour Party and its less than enthusiastic leader David “I’ll catch Key in the end; just you see if I don’t” Shearer. It’s all very well “nailing colours to masts” and “hitching wagons to other stars” and movements but the success or otherwise of such generous offerings rather depends on the enthusiasm or lack of it of those to whom you decide to adhere. Thus, I’m not convinced Labour is all that thrilled to have buzzing about it Green Bees of erratic flight and uncertain destination. Willing marriage? Has it been a willing marriage of mind and soul of two “Leftish” Parties marching, briefly, together towards those always-elusive “sunny uplands” post November 2014 or a forced “adoption” by Green Red has lacked the nerve to reject. Such seems
to have been the Green assumption; it is for Labour a potentially winning boost to have vigorously open Green support. Any suggestion close Green proximity might actually discourage Labour voters seems not to have registered on the political radar of either Ms Turei or Dr Norman. They are utterly convinced of the generous assistance they are making available to Labour. I’m not sure Mr Shearer quite sees it that way. Nationalisation. Of course, Dr Norman and Mr Shearer, standing at their respective lecterns within the confines of the Beehive announcing their joint determination to “nationalise” the power industry in direct opposition to National’s selling 49% of it, seems to have struck at least a temporary chord with the electorate. However, “temporary” it appears, indeed, to have been. Mr Colman and Mr Brunton’s latest poll indicates an increase in National support to a “wopping” - such figures are invariably “wopping” 49.3% enabling it to govern unencumbered by a tailwagging coalition addition should the figures be repeated “on the day” while Labour and Green backing has diminished somewhat. “Getting into bed” with
another Party may turn out not to be as attractive an option - or temptation - as first thought. Party conference. The Green Party conference over the week-end heard some stirring words from its leaders suggesting it - the Party - should think in terms of “going beyond” Labour to the day it would govern in its own right. It - the conference - was also told by an Australian Green guru - and another doctor - that the Party should not hesitate to walk out on Labour should the coalition deal they strike with it after the election subsequently turn out to be less than satisfactory. That, apparently, is what happened in Australia when the Greens left PM, Ms Julia Gillard - in the lurch - and decided they would be better off on their own. Effect. The immediate effect on the Labour Party of these declarations of possible political unfaithfulness and potential disloyalty has not yet been made public. No doubt Mr Shearer and his feisty deputy, Mr Robertson, are even now digesting and assessing it while also wondering at the evident fickleness of their “chosen” - or did it choose them? - future partner in
government. Invective. At the same gathering Dr Norman upped the personal invective calling the PM “another Muldoon”, that his government was “rotten” and telling the delegates he, Mr Key, was panicking over Green’s rising profile - if, in fact, that is the direction it is taking. Both Ms Turia and Dr Norman have made it clear they expect to be offered seats at the Labour-led cabinet table. (Even though they would much prefer it to be Green-led.) Elsewhere, the PM was describing the Green’s economic policy as “wacky”. Thus the preelection, traditional slangingmatch seems already to be underway even at this distance from polling day. The political cycle is not geared for change. Companions. All in all, one would have to feel the Labour leaders are poring over the comments and attitudes displayed by their selfassertive - over-confident? - would-be coalition companions but companions of dubious longevity, actively advised to break ranks and promises and apparently prepared to do so, should the spirit so move them. With such friends, who as the saying goes - needs enemies?
Surely Red has to wrest the initiative from Green if it is to present Blue with a realistic challenge next year, one that is unmistakably led by Labour and not one relying on Green coattails. Red-blooded Labour people are
exactly that, “redblooded”. Tinged with green they would be nothing like the inheritors of the kingdom left for them by “King Dick” Seddon and Michael Joseph Savage. Selfpride and enlightened leadership are required, urgently.

Jailers blamed for riot By John Weekes The father of a Spring Hill Prison inmate says last weekend’s riots were sparked by a fracas between the 19-year-old and guards after they caught him with home brew. As word of the fiery uprising in North Waikato filtered through to other jails last Saturday, Paremoremo maximum-security inmates jammed the gate on a landing and tried to start a fire. And one guard at Ngawha Prison near Kaikohe – scene of a clash between staff and inmates last July – told the Herald on Sunday a copycat incident could happen at any of New Zealand’s
jails. Corrections Minister Anne Tolley has commissioned an inquiry into the Spring Hill riot. Until that is completed, Corrections is refusing to respond to claims that the Killer Beez and Mongrel Mob gangs were involved in the uprising, and to the father’s claim that a guard broke his son’s arm. Tolley, though, has already suggested honouring prison officers for bravery – even before their handling of the riot has been investigated. “They risked their lives and should be recognised,” she wrote by hand on a briefing note, issued to the Herald on Sunday. Prison reformers insist double-bunking and a dearth of
activities are triggering tensions. The inmate’s father said prisoners exploded after hearing his son, serving a nine-year term, was assaulted when found with home brew. “My son ended up in hospital. The screw snapped his arm.” The father said his boy had since been transferred to Paremoremo with multiple stitches in his head. “All his property is gone. He’s got no clothes, no nothing left, from the inmates cranking the fires and all that. His cell got burned out.” Last Sunday, the Corrections Department moved 117 prisoners to Paremoremo, Mt Eden and Waikeria.
Some opposition MPs said they, too, had been told an incident involving home brew might have sparked the crisis. Tolley, though, said that was just one among many rumours. In the briefing note, Corrections said fixing Spring Hill meant other jail refurbishments might have to be postponed. It said it was considering suing prisoners for damages. Tolley maintained most of the unruly inmates last week were members of the Killer Beez, a gang said to have a growing prison presence. New Zealand First MP Asenati Lole-Taylor – a former Corrections rehabilitation advis-
er – said a cohesive group of Killer Beez causing unrest suggested an intelligence failure on the part of the department. She said it was well known that barring contact between members of the same gang was sensible, to prevent any group growing too dominant, bullying other inmates or undermining authority. But Labour Party corrections spokesman Kris Faafoi was sceptical. “The reports I’ve heard are that it may just have involved one group who got hold of a substance, or made a substance they shouldn’t have.” Prison reformer Peter Williams, QC, said Spring Hill inmates and their families were blaming
boredom and harsh conditions. At Paremoremo, an email sent on behalf of high-profile inmate Arthur Taylor complained of under-staffing, smoking bans and a lack of activities. “We didn’t get out on Saturday because officers had to go to assist at Spring Hill,” he wrote. “A few prisoners on my landing were very aggrieved at being locked up for two days straight and staged their own protest by locking the landing gate and starting a fire.” He spoke of ominous tensions in his jail. “You could cut it with a knife. I’ve never known prison conditions to be worse than they are today.” - APNZ
Study finds muesli has Small cities, big cost more sugar than claimed By Susan Edmunds
By Bevan Hurley Hubbards cereals can contain more than double the sugar listed on the label, independent tests have found. Three mueslis were tested by two different laboratories and all samples were found to have significantly more sugar than is declared on the packaging. The levels were between 38 and 120 per cent higher than on the label – well outside the accepted range. Double toasted Golden Syrup & Cranberry muesli claims to have 13.8g of sugar per 100g. However, four different batches were tested and found to have an average of 100 per cent more than that. This means a 600g box would contain an extra 18 teaspoons of sugar. The tests were done by
Assure Quality and Eurofins, possibly ordered by a rival, and the results were supplied to the Herald on Sunday. The newspaper does not have corresponding figures for other cereal brands. Hubbards, founded by former Auckland mayor Dick Hubbard, markets its cereals as healthy and proudly New Zealandmade. Chief executive Rob White said the cereal maker was surprised at the results. “We take our nutritional claims very seriously.” White said most of the sugar found in mueslis came from the dried-fruit component. A sample that had a disproportionate amount of fruit would throw up a very different result, he said. “Mueslis are a complex mix of products: cereal, seeds, fruits, nuts. The fruit component is
dried fruit and those contribute the vast bulk of the sugars in muesli. “When we get our products, we get a whole sample and grind that up. You get an average result and not a biased result. “We’re very surprised at your results. We take it very seriously and we will do repeat testing.” Food labelling is critical for diabetics and other people who suffer from certain types of blood conditions. Diabetes NZ recommends less than 15g of sugar per 100g. Apricot and Papaya muesli was found to have 18.5g – more than double the 8.9g that marketing material claims. Testing showed 5 Fruits & Honey natural muesli also had sugar levels up to 100 per cent higher than advertised. - APNZ
Some of the most expensive places in which to build in New Zealand are not the big cities with highest demand and dearest house prices. A Herald on Sunday survey has revealed that Whangarei, the Kapiti Coast and parts of Hamilton are charging development contributions on par with those in Auckland and Christchurch. Each council was asked how much it would cost to create a new property in an area where services were available but not connected. Whangarei, which has an average house price of $292,500, requires development contributions for a new residential section of $20,834, plus GST. Hamilton, with an average house price of $325,000, charges up to $30,000. Auckland developers, who can expect to sell a house for an average of $618,000, pay $21,500. Commentators say development contributions should be uniform
throughout the country if the Government and councils want to improve the supply of affordable housing. The contributions are paid under the Local Government Act and are intended to make sure councils have the money to pay for infrastructure such as stormwater and transport, open space reserves and community facilities. Property Investors Foundation president Andrew King said development contributions seemed to be set arbitrarily: “If they can charge, they do.” He said the costs would be passed on to purchasers. “It has a big effect on the cost of building and on house prices.” The Government is reviewing the contributions, and King said it needed to impose some uniformity. The cost of the average development contribution has increased 360 per cent over the past decade. Local Government Minister Chris Tremain said councils needed contributions to provide infrastruc-
ture to support new developments, “but we also need to ensure the costs are fair and well justified”. Property Council chief executive Connal Townsend said developers usually did not have a problem paying the contributions if they were going towards projects that would enhance a development and make it more desirable. He said they should be consistent and it should be clear what they were being used to pay for. “A concrete pipe costs the same whether you are in Gore or Kaitaia, so the development costs should be around about identical.” Whangarei mayoral candidate Vince Cocurullo said the region’s high development contributions were a stumbling block for growth. “I have had several developers who have said to me ‘it is too expensive and too hard to develop Whangarei’.” The Hamilton City Council said it was reviewing its policy and reduced charges for higher-density developments were proposed. - APNZ
• Fall from yacht mast A man has been seriously injured after falling from a yacht mast in Gisborne, Newstalk ZB is reporting. Around 3.40pm the 35-yearold fell 12 metres onto the deck of the yacht while it was berthed at a marina near the Tatapouri Sports Fishing Club. St John Ambulance Communications shift manager Norm Ngatai said witnesses reported the man hit the mast’s spreaders as he fell. He says the man sustained major trauma in the fall. - APNZ
• Small apple found The world’s smallest apple, discovered by chance on a New Zealand orchard, has been scooped up by a top UK supermarket. The apple, which is the same size as a golf ball, is being sold exclusively by Marks & Spencer. It was given the name ‘Tiddly Pomme’ – after the classic Winnie the Pooh rhyme ‘Tiddly Pom’ by AA Milne – by the winner of an online competition which produced more than 6500 suggestions. The High St retailer hopes the supersweet apple, a miniature version of the Royal Gala variety, will especially appeal to children. Consultant David Cranwell happened upon the 42mm-diameter fruits on a routine walk around his orchards in New Zealand, the Daily Mail reports. - APNZ
• Dead woman named A woman who was found dead in a central Wellington apartment has been named by police. Zimbabwean national Senzeni Tamarah Mlotshwa, 33, known as Tamarah, was found in the apartment on Webb Street about 6pm on Friday. Police said the results of a post-mortem examination were inconclusive.Further toxicology testing was being undertaken and police expected initial results would be available early this week. - APNZ
• Cordon lifted The shrinking of the red zone cordon around earthquake-crippled Christchurch’s city centre continued at the weekend with the area north of Gloucester Street now open. The move is the first in the fourweek reduction programme which will result in the majority of the central city roads and footpaths being accessible and safe for the public to use. It will just leave cordons around specifics buildings or areas as work continues to repair infrastructure or demolish buildings. - APNZ

Mandela ‘serious but stable’ By Christopher Torchia South Africans say their thoughts were with former President Nelson Mandela, who was in “serious but stable” condition after being taken to a hospital to be treated for a recurring lung infection. Mandela, who is 94 years old, was treated in a hospital several times in recent months, with the last discharge coming on April 6 after doctors diagnosed him with pneumonia and drained fluid from his lung area. He has been particularly vulnerable to respiratory problems since contracting tuberculosis during his 27-year imprisonment under apartheid. A small girl and her father stood outside Mandela’s Johannesburg home with a stone on which was written a get-well message for Mandela, who helped end white racist rule and became the country’s first black president in allrace elections in 1994. A young boy brought a bouquet of flowers that he handed over to guards at the house. Elsewhere in the city, some worshippers prayed for Mandela during an outdoor gathering. “If the time comes, we wish for him a good way to go,” said Noel Ngwenya, a security officer who was in the congregation. “During the past few days, for-

are doing everything possible to make him better and comfortable”. Zuma wished Mandela a quick recovery on behalf of the government and the nation and requested that the media and the public respect the privacy of the former leader and his family, the statement said. Mandela’s wife, humanitarian
activist Graca Machel, cancelled an appearance at an international forum on hunger and nutrition in London on Saturday, citing “personal reasons,” said Colleen Harris, a spokeswoman for the meeting. Presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj said Machel had cancelled her attendance at the London meeting on Thursday, and had accompanied Mandela to the hospital on Saturday morning, the South African Press Association reported. “We need to hold our thoughts and keep him in our minds,” Maharaj said. “He is a fighter, he has recovered many times from very serious conditions and he will be with us. Let’s pray for him and help him to get better.” The African National Congress, the ruling party that has dominated politics in South Africa since the end of apartheid, said it hoped Mandela, known affectionately by his clan name Madiba, would get better soon. “We will keep President Mandela and his family in our thoughts and prayers at this time and call upon South Africans and the peoples of the globe to do the same for our beloved statesman and icon, Madiba,” the party said in a statement. On April 29, state television broadcast footage of a visit by
Zuma and other ANC leaders to Mandela at his Johannesburg home. Zuma said at the time that Mandela was in good shape, but the footage – the first public images of Mandela in nearly a year – showed him silent and unresponsive, even when Zuma tried to hold his hand. “Nelson Mandela is a father to South Africa and South Africans; every time he is admitted to hospital we feel saddened along with the rest of our country,” the Democratic Alliance, the main political opposition party, said in a statement. Mandela was robust during his decades as a public figure, endowed with charisma, a powerful memory and an extraordinary talent for articulating the aspirations of his people and winning over many of those who opposed him. In recent years, however, he has become more frail and last made a public appearance at the 2010 World Cup soccer tournament, where he didn’t deliver an address and was bundled against the cold. In another recent hospitalization, Mandela was treated for a lung infection and had a procedure to remove gallstones in December. In March, he spent a night in a hospital for what authorities said was a scheduled medical test. - AP

Careers Expo great to see you all…
New Opportunity to Study Farming with Lincoln Aoraki Polytechnic and Lincoln University have signed an agreement to offer the university’s diplomas in agriculture and horticulture in the South Canterbury region. The diploma programmes will be part-time, allowing students with employment to fit university study around their job. They start in July. Aoraki Polytechnic spokesperson for primary industry Andrea Leslie says the Lincoln diplomas in agriculture and horticulture are ideal for farm workers who want to take their career further, including moving into farm management. They are also suitable for students wanting a new career. The Diploma in Agriculture teaches skills like livestock health and production, soil management, farm management and animal husbandry. The Diploma in Horticulture is similar but covers the care of plants instead of livestock. “If you were studying full time it would take a year to complete a diploma. We are offering them parttime, which takes a minimum of two years. Aoraki Polytechnic is committed to this partnership with Lincoln University for the long term,” says Mrs Leslie. “It will provide an ideal stepping stone back into study for some students, and also a pathway to higher qualifications like the Diploma in Horticultural Management.” Mrs Leslie says Aoraki Polytechnic has recently been looking at various ways it can collaborate with other tertiary institutions. “The partnership with Lincoln University has provided a great opportunity for South Canterbury students and shows the value of collaboration.” Aoraki acting chief executive Alex Cabrera says Aoraki Polytechnic is collaborating with local industry to promote business growth and a healthy local economy. “This year we want to expand with more opportunities for workers to study close to home, with flexible hours that fit around work and life commitments. The partnership with Lincoln University allows this opportunity for some. “We have a wide variety of courses designed to meet the needs of students who are already employed and wanting to improve their vocational skills.” Manager of the Regional Diploma Programme at Lincoln University, Lecturer in Horticultural Management David Shillito says the option to study part-time off-campus is appealing to many farmers, growers, and hobbyists. “Lincoln University is committed to the highest standards of primary sector education in New Zealand. Forming this partnership with Aoraki Polytechnic ensures, valuable skills development for those in the primary sector,”
Southern Lights Salon Competition Success Aoraki Hospitality students cleaned up at the Southern Lights Salon competition at the Otago Polytechnic campus in Cromwell.
In order to give students from our region access to all programmes offered at our Timaru campus, Aoraki runs a daily return bus service for students from Ashburton and Oamaru. Potential students can get more information from Aoraki Polytechnic on 0800 426 725 or study@aoraki.ac.nz.
The students won three gold medals, eight silvers and six bronze in cooking and presenting. Five students won best in class, and one student was given a gold with distinction, attaining a 100% mark for cocktails. Mr Le Corre said the results were outstanding. “Some of the students were competing a fair way above their level, and the hard work they put in to prepare took them to new heights and gained medals.”
Aoraki first in NZ for new English delivery Aoraki Polytechnic is the first institution in New Zealand to offer six new nationally accredited qualifications in English. English language programme co-ordinator Craig Courtis has been working for two years to develop a programme that uses the new set of qualifications in English as a second language. These will eventually replace all the English qualifications now offered by private language schools and tertiary education providers throughout New Zealand.
glish Craig Courtis, En tor ina rd -o co e languag
Each paper in the diplomas in Agriculture and Horticulture require three hours of class time, per week, at the polytechnic’s Rural Training Centre at Washdyke. Students will also need to commit to several extra hours of study per week in their own time.
Starting 29 July, the NZ Certificate in English Language involves 17 weeks’ fulltime study. It is offered at levels three and four.
The aim is for students to develop language skills so they can communicate independently and effectively in everyday situations, such as the workplace or in further study. It is open to overseas and local students and includes tuition in listening, speaking, reading, writing and English grammar. Mr Courtis says there are about 300 qualifications available to English language students in New Zealand, which makes it difficult for students and employers to compare benefits. Cutting back to six national qualifications has been “a long process”. All schools and institutions will gradually move to the new qualifications.

Asylum boat capsize death toll rises to 13 By Rod McGuirk A boat carrying up to 60 asylum seekers has capsized in the Indian Ocean en route to Australia, with 13 people confirmed dead and no survivors found by the fourth day of searching, an official said yesterday. An air and search continued 120km northwest of Christmas Island, an Australian territory 500km south of Jakarta and 2600km from Perth, the nearest major Australian coastal city, Home Affairs Minister Jason Clare said. “This is a terrible tragedy; our focus is on finding people alive,” he said. Up to 60 people are believed to have been aboard the boat, which was headed for Christmas Island where Australia operates a detention camp for asylum seekers, Australian Maritime Safety Authority spokeswoman Jo Meehan said. Their nationalities are unknown. She said two ships and two airplanes had resumed the search for survivors yesterday. The boat was first spotted by the crew of an air force plane on Wednesday afternoon stationary but in no apparent distress, Clare said. It was then 52km north of Christmas Island. The air crew counted 55 people on deck. They were mostly men, but there were also women and children, Clare said. A navy ship was sent to intercept
the boat, but was unable to find it on reaching the area early Thursday. The search then began. An air crew spotted the submerged hull and a body on Friday 120km northwest of the island. The wreckage had apparently drifted there from the unknown scene where it capsized. Since then, a total of 13 bodies, debris and lifejackets had been spotted from search ships and aircraft, Clare said. Boarder Protection Commander Read Adm. David Johnston said no bodies had been recovered. “The recovery of bodies is complex and time consuming, so all the surface vessels are continuing (the search) because it remains possible that there are survivors in the water,” he said. He said an assessment would soon be made to decide whether anyone in the water could still be alive. If not, the search would then turn to recovering bodies. Because of Christmas Island’s close proximity to Indonesia, it’s the most popular destination for asylum seekers who pay people smugglers to take them from Indonesian ports to Australia in overcrowded and unseaworthy boats. Many of the asylum seekers come from Afghanistan, Iran and Sri Lanka. Several of the voyages have ended in tragedy with the loss of hundreds of lives as the boats have come in increasing numbers in recent years. - AP
China bus fire kills 47; suspect named By Neil Connor An arsonist who wanted to “vent personal grievances” is suspected to have caused a horrific bus blaze in China which left 47 people dead, state media said. Police in Xiamen found notes at the house of a local man saying he planned the arson attack, which saw a bus being engulfed in flames within minutes during Friday’s evening rush hour in the southeastern coastal city, Xinhua said. Chen Shuizong, who was born in 1954, planned the attack as he was “unhappy and pessimistic”, the official state news agency said, quoting a statement from the local government. The statement also said DNA evidence found that Chen was the key suspect in the tragedy, one of China’s deadliest individual acts of violence in recent years. Chen died in the inferno, the statement said. City officials had earlier told a news conference that a criminal probe had been launched after initial investigations showed the accelerant was petrol, while the bus
was equipped with a diesel engine. The investigation by experts and police also showed that the tyres and tank of the bus “remained complete”, Xinhua said. There have been previous reports of attacks on public transport in China, by people aiming to air personal grievances or settle scores with authorities. Witnesses said the bus was destroyed within 10 minutes by the fire, and some heard a series of explosions. Jiang Xiatong, who was sitting near the back window of the bus, told the state-run Global Times newspaper that she smelt a “peculiar odour” before the vehicle caught fire. “While I was climbing, I felt my legs being pressed by someone, and then I felt a hot wave burn my legs,” she told the newspaper. Another survivor told domestic media that passengers were asking “Who brought petrol on the bus?” moments before it caught fire. The bus operated on a nine metre elevated road, in what was believed to be China’s first overhead rapid transport system when it was launched in 2008. - AFP

Embracing Hemingway’s Paris Steeped in history, Paris has been romanticised over the years by artists and writers alike. Evan Schwarten headed to Paris to experience the haunts of one of the more well known writers, Ernest Hemingway Paris holds a special place in the hearts of fans of Ernest Hemingway. The US author lived in the French capital as a young writer, producing many short stories and his first novel, The Sun Also Rises, in 1926. Many of his favourite haunts featured in his stories and in his memoir/ode to the city - A Moveable Feast - and most of them are still around today. A pilgrimage to these places is compulsory for any Hemingway buff who finds themselves in the City of Light. Here are a few of them:
The golden triangle Location: Boulevard St Germain, sixth arrondissement. Cafe de Flore, Les Deux Magots and Brasserie Lipp make up the “golden triangle” of famed literary haunts on the Boulevard St Germain in Paris’ sixth arrondissement. All three have been around since the late 19th century, and counted among their regulars are some of the greatest writers, artists and thinkers of the 20th century - Jean Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Pablo Picasso, Albert Camus and, of course, Hemingway, just to name a few. Each cafe offers patrons a chance to eat and drink with the ghosts of history, though they will charge you a premium for the pleasure. It may be difficult to spot this generation’s Hemingway at one of the tables, with the exception of Cafe De Flore, which is a popular spot among fashionistas. The golden triangle is essentially a museum piece for literaryminded tourists. That said, the food is mostly good, as is the coffee and wine. The service at Cafe de Flore and Brasserie Lipp is great too. Think polite, sometimes even friendly, classically dressed and efficient French waiters. Though at Les Deux Magots, securing a staff member’s attention long enough to place a drink order is an achievement not everyone can aspire to.
Closerie des lilas Location: 171 Boulevard du
Montparnasse, 14th arrondissement. This was Hemingway’s favourite place. It was here that he penned much of The Sun Also Rises and the cafe/brasserie is mentioned frequently in A Moveable Feast. Unlike most Parisian cafes, the terrace is enclosed by a green hedge to give it a more intimate feel - a feature that apparently wasn’t there in Hemingway’s day. The atmosphere here is more friendly and laid-back than the brusque-but-efficient service generally found in the more famous golden triangle haunts. The food and drink in the cafe are also relatively cheap and of good quality, though the attached restaurant is a more formal affair, with a main meal costing up to 50 euros ($82.49). For Hemingway fans, it is definitely worth venturing inside to the bar. A small gold plaque marks his favourite spot and a picture of “Papa” looks down from the wall. The long cocktail menu is filled with Hemingway-themed suggestions, but this might be a good place, if you are game, to try one of the writer’s own inventions: The Death in the Afternoon. Here’s his recipe: “Pour one jigger absinthe into a Champagne glass. Add iced Champagne until it attains the proper opalescent milkiness. Drink three to five of these slowly”.
Harry’s New York Bar Location: 5 Rue Daunou, second arrondissement. With its saloon doors and its panelled walls of dark wood adorned with college pennants and other paraphernalia, Harry’s New York Bar looks out of place in Paris. But that is probably what made it so popular with American expats in the 1920s and ’30s. Hemingway was a regular, along with Humphrey Bogart, Rita Hayworth, George Gershwin and Coco Chanel. Even James Bond has spent time here. In the short story From a View to Kill, Ian Fleming refers to Bond’s visit here at age 16: “That had started one of the memorable evenings of his life, culminating in the loss, almost simultaneous, of his virginity and his notecase.”
The Cafe de Flore offers patrons a chance to eat and drink with the ghosts of history, though you will be charged a premium for the pleasure. There’s no cocktail menu, and asking for one can earn you a stern rebuke from the barman. Just give them an idea of what you’re after and they’ll mix up something delicious. It’s a great place to visit for a pre-dinner drink or a nightcap but be careful if you plan to stick around, the cocktails can be deceptively potent.
Shakespeare and Company Location: 37 Rue de la Bucherie, fifth arrondissement. Shakespeare and Company is

ARIES (Mar 21st Apr 20th) The new week kicks off with the Moon in the homeliest zone of your chart. Someone in your family or a partner may be particularly desirous of getting your attention today and you may find you have to put other things to one side to meet this need. Yet with Venus pressed by Pluto, don’t cave in to any emotional blackmail.
TAURUS (Apr 21st May 21st) Someone could speak to you in a very intense way today and you might find this quite attractive. Sometimes a row can re-light the passion in a close romantic relationship and this could be the case today. Then again, you may find yourself and someone close in complete disagreement. Try not to let this fester too much Taurus.

GEMINI (May 22nd Jun 21st) Don’t be dismissive of what you currently own. Looking at what others have in a material sense and comparing yourself can lead to a sense of feeling less worthy. After all, even if people possess glittering material prizes such as a new car or go on luxurious holidays, there is so much more to our sense of wellbeing and personal value.
arguably the most famous bookshop in the world, thanks to its association with the ‘lost generation’ of writers who flocked to Paris in the 1920s. First opened in 1919 by Sylvia Beach, the store was a meeting place for writers including Hemingway, Ezra Pound, James Joyce and Ford Madox Ford. It provided crucial support to the struggling young authors. Hemingway would borrow books when he couldn’t afford to buy any and, when Joyce couldn’t find a major publisher for his masterpiece Ulysses, Beach came to his aid and put the book out
herself, at considerable cost. The original store closed during the Nazi occupation and was later ceremonially ‘liberated’ by Hemingway in 1944 as Allied troops freed the city. Unfortunately, the store never reopened. But the name and the spirit of the place was revived by George Whitman in tribute to Beach and the place again became a haven for ex-pat writers, including the likes of Allen Ginsberg and William S Burroughs. But a visit to this bookstore is memorable even without this history, if only for the sheer chal-

CANCER (Jun 22nd - Jul 23rd) Although the Sun continues to emphasise the more reflective part of life, the Moon and Venus in your sign are going to add an extra slice of allure to your personal appeal today. This may see more than one person chat to you in a more intense, full-on way. If you like your love life to be hot and heavy, this can be a dynamic you’ll thrive on.
LEO (Jul 24th - Aug 23rd) A love relationship could get more psychological at this time. If there are unresolved issues around trust this may be a tricky few days. Try to share how you feel in as honest and direct way as possible. There is also the possibility that you will be attracted to a person who is not truly available. Perhaps that’s true of you too Leo.
VIRGO (Aug 24th Sep 23rd) There could be one person in your circle who is set to become so much more. This may go all the way to a full-on romance. Then again, if you feel that one friend has a tendency to want to dominate your free time and affections, you may decide it is the time to put down a marker and let them know there are others you like too.
LIBRA (Sep 24th Oct 23rd) Someone could turn on the charm at work today. Perhaps it will be a potential new employer or an existing boss. Yet don’t fall prey to flattery. Don’t use it too much yourself either Libra. Keeping a sense of balance is important to you and today more than ever maintaining your equilibrium is vital. Don’t get swayed by others’ views.

STAYING THERE: Hotels.com offers plenty of options but if you’re staying more than a few days it’s worth checking out sites such as www.waytostay.com for short-term apartments. PLAYING THERE: There are many other places in Paris for visitors to walk in Hemingway’s footsteps, such as the cafes on Boulevard Montparnasse, Gertrude Stein’s Salon and the Jardin Du Luxembourg.

SCORPIO (Oct 24th - Nov 22nd) Conversations between those that matter in your life can seem a whole lot more intense today. Then again, you could meet someone who has an aura that you find either wildly attractive or a little bit offputting. Either way, they are unlikely to go unnoticed. If you have important meetings you can be extra persuasive.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23rd - Dec 21st) Don’t assume that everyone you encounter has the same ethical standards as you, particularly where money is concerned. Even if you are dealing with a large organisation, keep your wits about you. Someone may also be rather too keen to ask personal or searching questions about your love life. Give them short shrift Archer.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22nd - Jan 20th) Just how fair are the closest relationships in your life? Whether this affects a relationship with a housemate, colleague, relative or partner, you will want to feel that there is a good balance, especially if you are one of those types of people inclined to be a giver. If you don’t feel respected, redress the balance now.
AQUARIUS (Jan 21st - Feb 19th) Pluto is raking up all sorts of insecurities and this can surface around your relationship with coworkers or within the family with aunts or uncles. Someone can seem picky, irritable and critical towards you. Then again, you may be told something in confidence which puts you in an awkward spot. Try to avoid secrets.

PISCES (Feb 20th Mar 20th) Affection can be used to disguise manipulation today, and however much you love someone, if they are laying a guilt trip on you to extract some kind of concession or financial favour, be wary. If you do cave in, the first thing you will do is create a precedent, opening the way to be on the end of this type of behaviour in future.

more status to the occasion.
Earlier this term Ashburton College farewelled twenty Thai students and their teacher.
The last two weeks have been more than busy, with plenty to celebrate alongside a strong academic theme.
I doubt that our Head of German, Ken Pow, will ever forget the Prime Minister presenting him with his certificate for scoring 298 / 300 in his most recent PASCH Language Assessment.
Many thanks are given to all of our wonderful host families and our Ashburton College students who were their “buddies” within the College. It was an emotional farewell and many College students realised what a wonderful experience it was to make friends with someone from another country and to learn about another culture.
We thoroughly enjoyed hosting the Prime Minister John Key again, alongside our local MP Jo Goodhew, and I was very proud of our senior students who again showed their maturity and understanding of the issues in our community and beyond. Being invited to become a partner school in the German Government’s PASCH network is a mark of the quality of our German language programme and having the Prime Minister and the German Ambassador also on hand to add their signatures to the agreement added even
The PASCH programme will lift our teaching of German language even further and will also provide our staff and students with future opportunities to study alongside schools around the world, as well as studying in Germany. Last week was also an important week for our Year 11 and 12 students who had their mid-year exams. These are an important progress indicator and clearly signal that final NCEA exams are only just over 100 school days (some 21 weeks) way! Cheers Grant McMillan Principal

ACADS parent/caregiver evening to advise about the night and expectations of students. The Ball itself is an alcohol-free event and students arriving under the influence of alcohol will not be admitted. Parents are reminded to take note of the alcohol they are providing their children for the After-Ball and also to ensure that their children do not partake at any of the Pre-Ball functions. We all want to have another enjoyably memorable event this year.
We also have a new staff trustee in Annie Lees and will welcome her input as an experienced staff member. Libbi Wood’s retirement from the Board will leave big boots to fill. Libbi was a valuable voice on the Board. Her contributions were well thought out and well-balanced. Rob Aitken is also standing down after six years on the Board. Rob is another whose experience and input will be missed. I wish both Rob and Libbi well.
As the independent report on the Novopay debacle creates more finger-pointing in Parliament, schools’ staff are still battling away fixing errors with every pay cycle. It is hard to imagine any other industry putting up with such problems and it says a lot for all teachers and support staff on Novopay that they have carried on with their jobs and it shows the level of commitment and patience that teachers have. I know, at College, that a tremendous amount of effort has been, and is continuing to be, put in by staff to identify and minimise these errors and our thanks go out to those people.
At this time of the year the social highlight of many students’ year is fast approaching – being the Ball. A lot of effort is being put in behind the scenes to make the Ball another success, with the Ball Committee being very active. The whole night is about enjoyment and for the girls (young ladies!) dressing up in their finest. The transformation of students on the night is remarkable. However along with this comes responsibility, and especially around alcohol. The College, whilst not involved with the After-Ball function, is very careful to ensure its students are safe and will be hosting an
College has had an exchange relationship with Armidale School over a long period of time and we look forward to hosting them again.
Tokorozawa Kita High School is Ashburton College’s sister school in Japan and, within this relationship, have visited the College each year for well over ten years now. In 2012 our Japan Tour Group was hosted by their school and it is great to welcome them back here at Ashburton College.
The group arrives on Monday morning, plays two games of rugby on Monday afternoon against College teams, and leaves on Tuesday morning. Billet homestays are required from after the games on Monday afternoon.
There are thirty students visiting us and we are expected to place them individually in homes. During the school days they either attend College or participate in an exchange event organised by the College. This is a paid hosting situation.
If you can help us by hosting a billet or billets please contact the College Office, 308 4193, to leave your details and we will be back in touch. Or email on admin@ashcoll.school.nz
If you would like the opportunity to host one of these students, please get a form from Libbi Wood (our Japanese teacher) or from the College Office.
If you are a community member, rather than a College Parent or Caregiver, and are interested in billeting we would be keen to hear from you also.

Tucker Trophy - Tuesday 06 August
Teacher Only Day - Treaty of Waitangi Workshop Denise O’Halloran, Specialist Classroom Teacher and Chairperson of the College Māori Achievement Committee, outlines Teacher Only Day on Friday 31 May when ninety teaching and support staff were involved in a Treaty of Waitangi Workshop at Hakatere Marae. Liz Brown (Kaiārahi Māori), Dr Richard Manning (Co-ordinator of Treaty Education Programme and Senior Lecturer), and Te Hurinui Bryan Clarke (Programme Co-ordinator for Hōaka Pounamu and Lecturer) from the University of Canterbury generously gave of their time to facilitate the programme. An overview of the Treaty history and its implications for teaching and learning was provided by Dr Manning, a senior lecturer and expert in Treaty history. Other workshops throughout the day looked at the College Charter, the College curriculum, appraisal, and national initiatives aimed at raising achievement for Māori and all students. The staff (pictured left) enjoyed and fully participated in an interesting, interactive day and was grateful for the generosity and warm, welcoming atmosphere provided by the Hakatere Marae who hosted us.
Curriculum Related - Work Experience Teacher Isabel Myers advises that, as SLSU (Student Learning Support Unit) students enter their final years at College, part of their weekly timetable is to transition into work experience within the community. At present there are three students working under this scheme. The SLSU is very appreciative of the willingness of local businesses to participate in this scheme, and advises they are always looking for opportunities for the students to be placed within the community. Initially all students are supported by staff during this transition period but eventually it is hoped, in consultation with employer and College, that the students become independent and gain paid employment. Levon Wilson (pictured right) describes his Work Experience On Thursdays for one hour I go to Work Experience at Bunnings. I really enjoy working there, the people are friendly and helpful, and they make me feel part of the team. There is a wide variety of work. This includes watering plants, cleaning, restocking ends of aisles, helping to prepare for Kids DIY on Saturdays and for stocktaking by placing stickers on the shelves. I wish to thank the staff at Bunnings for all the support they give me each time I go there. Smallbore Rifle Shooting – NCEA Assessment Physical Education teacher Karen McKenzie advises that Ashburton College Year 12 Physical Education classes are learning the skill of Smallbore Rifle Shooting for NCEA credits. We believe that we are the only school in the country that offers Smallbore as part of the curriculum. Students are given tuition by local sharp-shooter Bryan Hunter and others from the Coronation Park Range. While the thought of using a firearm was a little daunting to some students at first, it appears that a number have a natural talent. After the first session, Savanna Millar-McArthur (pictured left), Nathan McCloy, Heni Ede, Kate Taylor and Joel Brunke all scored around 90% or better. Students need three cards over 90% to achieve excellence. The students have six sessions during school hours and further opportunities in the evenings to achieve their credits. (Pictured right, front to back): Brittany Butler, Sophie Congdon, Caitlin Adlam, Sulli Leonard and Jordan Scott Wells. Year 13 Physical Education Duathlon Assessment
It must be noted also that Ken’s Certificate from his most recent German language proficiency test represents an amazing 298 marks out of a possible 300, or 98.6%.
Physical Education teacher Ron Carlson advises the Year 13 Phys Ed students have completed their latest assessment, a Duathlon at Lake Hood. The Duathlon consisted of a 3.5km run, a 15km cycle and a 1.5km run.

We saw teachers and students being auctioned off for ‘massive’ amounts of money, all of which will be added to the College’s 40 Hour Famine Funds and sent to World Vision. A massive thank you goes to all the students and teachers who put themselves ‘on the line’ when agreeing to be a slave. I hope your masters left you with a bit of dignity during Slave Day and the lunchtime Slave Day Games on Wednesday 29 May. Pictured right: Waxing teacher Ryan Walsh’s legs captures the Slave Day concept. It is understood that this ‘slave’ auction alone raised $200 for Bouganville.

Held in Christchurch on Tuesday 21 May at the CBS Arena in Christchurch Ashburton College was very successful in the Open Section, finishing the evening in third place and with seven Awards of Excellence: for Concept, Soundtrack, Set Design and Function, Drama, Stage Use, Costume and Character, and Visual Enhancement. Stage Challenge involves schools from Christchurch and the wider Canterbury area performing own theme presentations of no more than eight minutes in length. For Year 13 student Lizzie Hill the preparation was demanding but satisfying in her role as Producer (behind the scenes) and being cast as ‘mother’ on stage. She worked closely with Drama Head of Department and teacher-incharge, Claire Bubb, assisting and supporting the development of the production. Equally, for student Alanna Rush, there were challenges a-plenty in her role as Choreographer which involved helping to choose music, planning movements, attending each practice and offering encouragement and feedback. Planning for this performance began back at Week 1 of Term 1 when drama teachers Claire Bubb and Lisa Jordon and a group of students began working on the concepts and the theme, deciding on ‘Fear’ with the intent of showing how fear evolves as it grows and how fear can be conquered. Seventy plus students were involved in the production, with approximately fifty in the cast, plus six staff. Lizzie and Alanna said the night and results were very exciting. The College team worked together very well, focused on achieving a good placing. The students felt very proud of their efforts and valued the experience gained. They are very appreciative of the support from staff who made the opportunity available – Claire Bubb, Michael Clark, Ron Cresswell, Lisa Jordan, Jenny Owens and Claire Robertshaw.

Roncalli Year 9 and 10 Junior Development Netball Tournament Held in Timaru at the end of May Ashburton College was presented by four teams, gaining very good results. Strong winds during the day made for challenging games for all teams. Thanks go to all parents/caregivers who travelled down to support the teams and who helped with scoring and timekeeping. Ashburton College Year 9A Team – Finals Winners (The team is pictured right, back row, left to right): Grace Wilson, Serenity Timothy, Sala Bueta, Molly Stapleton, Olivia Gibson. (Front row, left to right): Ashleigh Street, Jaimee Bird, Tori Watson, Georgina Kelly (Captain). The team finished the day triumphant in the Year 9A Competition, winning the final by defeating Craighead Diocesan Girls’ School 19-9. In advancing to the finals Ashburton College won all their pool games and their semi-final against Mt Hutt College (14-3). Coach and Manager Lee Wilson and Deborah Gibson say the successful outcome was a result of strong contributions by all team members. Ashburton College Year 9B Team – Finals Winners This team, of Sarah Taylor (Captain), Libby Mason (Vice Captain), Sophie Beckley, Jordyn Kell, Brooke Olsen, Liberty Ross, Veronica Wall, Sarah Whyte, Grace Wills and with Bronwyn Arnold (Coach) and Wendy Wills (Manager) also completed their day as winners of the Year 9B Grade. Despite strong winds the team’s shooters put in a great performance while, at the other end of the court, defence players scored valuable turnovers which our mid-court players effectively delivered up court to the shooters. The girls all played some great netball and gave a fantastic team effort, winning by margins of 7 goals, 13 and 21 goals. Ashburton College Year 10B Team – Grade Winner (The team pictured right, left to right): Mikayla Heney, Olivia Scott, Ella Bonnington (Vice Captain), Aimee Denbee (Captain), Farirai Mushonga (Vice Captain), Sarah Hazlehurst, Kristin Canning, Larissa Allan, Olivia Arnold with Coach, Sonia Waddell, and Managers, Rachel Denbee and Pip Heney also had a successful tournament concluding their day as winners of the 10B Grade.

In their second game against Craighead Diocesan they again put on an impressive performance with their mid-court speed leaving Craighead playing catch-up to a final score of 19 – 17 to College Year 10B.

In their last game against Timaru Girls’ High School the wind picked up to gale force again and it took a lot of concentration and skill to control the ball. However, the girls made it look easy with a superb 32 – 6 win, giving them a well-deserved 1st place in the Year 10 B grade. Ashburton College Year 10A Team – 3rd Place Coach Rachel Evans and the team Kieren Bell (Captain), Charlotte Waddell, Dakota Rossellini, Danielle Philip, Georgina Tuck, Hannah Roulston, Madeleine Evans, Mikalya-Rose Stroganov and Tayler Cousins earned a 2nd placing in Section B from three wins and one loss. In the semi-finals a loss against Roncalli College saw the team drawn to play Waitaki Girls’ High School. A win against this team gave College 3rd placing overall in Section A.

Serena’s inspiration from misery of 2012 By Dave James Serena Williams admits her 2012 French Open humiliation helped inspire her to victory in Saturday’s final, her second Paris title coming 11 years after her first. The 31-year-old became the oldest women’s winner at Roland Garros in the Open era with her 6-4 6-4 victory over defending champion Maria Sharapova for her 16th grand slam singles title. Since her worst loss at a major 12 months ago in Paris, Williams has captured Wimbledon, Olympic and US Open titles and added the French Open to five other trophies this year. From the start of the year, she has won 43 matches and lost only two, and has a careerbest winning streak of 30. “I think losing in the (2012 French) first round definitely helped me realise I have no points to defend. “I have nothing to lose. I can just kind of relax ...� French coach Patrick Mouratoglou described her as an immense champion. “When she is in that kind of spirit, there is no one who can stop her.� Williams explained: “I’ve always said a champion isn’t about how much they win but it’s about how they recover from their downs, whether it’s an injury or whether it’s a loss.� Saturday’s win came via pinpoint groundstrokes and power - in the final game, Williams aced Sharapova three times. “I’m a lot smaller than Maria, so I don’t know how I’m able to serve so big.
‘
“I think growing up with (sister) Venus ... she’s serving so big, I was like, ‘I want to serve big, too’,� said Williams. Sharapova was in no mood to disagree. “At 5-4, she’s serving harder than David Ferrer when he gets to the final of Roland Garros you know what I mean?� Sharapova had two points for a 3-0 first-set lead, but Williams broke back and was soon even at 2-2. She broke again to lead 3-2 but Sharapova managed to level at 4-4. However, the American produced her best tennis in the next game with some big hits down both flanks, and then held serve to take the opener in 51 minutes. Sharapova saved five break points to start the second set but, two games later, she struggled again on serve and Williams converted to go ahead 4-2. In an ominous warning to rivals, Williams said she had not realised her potential and retirement was not on the agenda as she targeted more grand slam titles. She is just two majors behind the 18 won by Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova. Steffi Graf racked up 22, while Margaret Court’s record 24 looks safe. Evidence suggests that Sharapova and world No.3 Victoria Azarenka - who are the only two who can match the American for power - will continue to have their work cut out against a fit and motivated Williams. “I really believe age is a number at this point, because I have never felt so fit. photo ap “I feel great - I look great,� she said. - AFP Serena Williams holds the trophy in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower.
At 5-4, she’s serving harder than David Ferrer when he gets to the final at Roland Garros - you know what I mean?

By Michael Brown The Warriors showed last week they can do style with their big win over Brisbane, and yesterday they proved they can do substance with a grinding victory over Manly. They showed plenty of character to come back from an early 12-0 deficit with three converted tries of their own to win their third-straight game and just their first over Manly in the last seven games between the two sides. They are now making good progress up the ladder and are, despite their woes in the early phase of the year, in sight of the top eight roughly halfway through the season. Manly coach Geoff Toovey even said before this match the Warriors still had the potential to win the competition this year. That is still a distant dream but they are building nicely and appear to have proved their humiliating defeat to Penrith was simply an aberration. The early signs were worrying for the Warriors as Manly built a 12-0 lead inside the first 20 minutes and many began to wonder if they were watching the ‘real’ Warriors. But the reality is they didn’t see the ball. The Sea Eagles were ruthless in their execution and also enjoyed a slew of penalties. In one period, they attacked for 13 of 15 sets and Warriors’ line couldn’t hold. Justin Horo crossed for the first try, when Kieran Foran drew two defenders and offloaded, and Peta Hiku doubled the lead when he took advantage of a defensive misread from Konrad Hurrell. Manly, who showed good footwork at the line, attacked down the Warriors’ right edge of Hurrell, Ngani Laumape and Shaun Johnson with only Simon Mannering to babysit them.
It could have gone horribly wrong at that stage, especially against one of the best sides in the competition, but things then changed dramatically. The second 20 minutes of the half was all the Warriors as they finally got their hands on the ball and they posted two tries of their own. The first went to a hard running Elijah Taylor and then Glen Fisiiahi, who was playing at fullback in place of an injured Kevin Locke (hip), latched onto a Feleti Mateo offload and dotted down. Amid that run, the Warriors had the ball for 12 out of 14 sets as Manly infringed. The game then went into the proverbial arm wrestle, and Manly are one of the best teams in the competition at it, but the Warriors held their own. The execution of both sides was a little off, but it was a compelling contest and the only difference was Manly’s superior kicking game. The scoreboard attendant wasn’t called into action for 36 minutes after Fisiiahi’s try until Konrad Hurrell bulldozered his way past and over four would-be tacklers. Slowly the Warriors had gained the ascendancy and forced a couple of repeat sets. It set up a tense final 12 minutes, which went up a few notches when firstly David Williams knocked the ball on when trying to ground the ball over the line and then Steve Matai scored after the impressive Hiku offloaded. Significantly, Jamie Lyon couldn’t convert from the sideline. In the end it was the only thing that separated the two sides. And that was just fine for Warriors fans. Warriors 18 (Elijah Taylor, Glen Fisiiahi, Konrad Hurrell tries; Shaun Johnson 3 goals) Manly 16 (Justin Horo, Peta Hiku, Steve Matai tries; Jamie Lyon 2 goals). HT: 12-12. - APNZ

Lopsided results mark netball round By Jonathan Leask Round three of the senior A netball competition produced four one-sided results on Saturday. The four games had four convincing wins, giving some insight into who will be contenders down the stretch. Rakaia A couldn’t convert home court advantage on their country day, comfortably beaten by Hampstead A 41-19. Hampstead scored eight goals in each of the first three quarters to build a slim lead, and added six more in the final quarter. “They played well across the court on attack and defence,” Hampstead A coach Lynda Scott said. “The loss to United last week was a bit of a wakeup call that we
needed to step up, and they did that this week so hopefully we are back on track.” In Ashburton, what was the closest game of the day still had Methven A winning by 17 goals in beating College A 30-13. College A were off the pace as the experienced Methven A put in a determined effort, schooling College with some strong defensive work. “I thought it would be a bit closer.” Methven coach Dianne McTigue said. “It was a good defensive effort but we still have plenty to fix on attack.” The opening quarter suggested a close game with Methven up 8-5, but Methven went up a gear and left College behind in the second quarter, adding a further eight goals and keeping College to just two for a 16-7 halftime lead.

Methven kept up the consistency scoring a further eight goals in the third to lead 24-10. In the final quarter Methven trialled some new combinations in what was Sarah Hewson’s last game and still outscored College 6-3 for the 30-13 win. Celtic A cantered past College B 44-18 to remain unbeaten this season. College B started well to be level at 8-8 after the opening quarter, but couldn’t maintain the intensity. Celtic took the second quarter 11-4 to lead 19-12 at halftime and turned on a big third quarter, scoring 13 goals and restricting College to just two for a 32-14 lead, and finished off with another strong 12-4 quarter. “Things just went right for us,” Celtic coach Angela Leadley said.
“They put up a good challenge but we were able to kick on and in the end I think our experience was the key. We were able to shut them down and back it up with some strong shooting.” United A also made it three from three with a 37-18 win over Hampstead B. “It wasn’t a great start and that’s become a bit of a habit so we’ll need to address that, but the second half was much better,” United’s Karla Newlands said. United were only a point ahead in the first quarter up 6-5 and led 14-8 at halftime, however, they almost doubled their score in the third quarter jumping out to 27-15. In the fourth quarter they kept Hampstead B to just three goals while adding another 10 for the 37-18 win.
Whangarei’s super mum Samantha Warriner, coming back to triathlon after the birth of her daughter, has claimed the Ironman 70.3 Cairns yesterday. The former world No 1-ranked Olympic athlete and Ironman New Zealand winner pushed to a nine minute lead on the bike and held off the fast-finishing Kiyomi Niwata from Japan to claim the title. Warriner was in a class of her own early, exiting the water with more than a two minute lead and growing the advantage on the bike. - APNZ
• Ko fighting back Lydia Ko has fought back well in the second round of the LPGA Championship in New York to keep alive her record of never missing a cut in a professional event. The 16-year-old, who opened with a five over par 77 at the Locust Hill Country Club in Pittsford to be in a share of 89th, delivered a two under par 70 when she needed it most. She climbed to a share of 40th to make the cut of the top-70 players and ties by three shots. It continued Ko’s remarkable record in professional events where she has not missed a weekend in the 18 events she has contested since making her debut at the Pegasus New Zealand Women’s Open in 2010. As the only amateur player in the field, Ko has already sealed the leading amateur honours - for the fourth time out of four majors. - APNZ
Corstens eyes Cox Plate By Mathew Toogood Group One-winning filly Commanding Jewel is ready to go back under saddle as trainer Leon Corstens begins to dream about a Cox Plate appearance later in the year. Three-year-old Commanding Jewel hasn’t been seen since her victory in last year’s Group One Thousand Guineas. She missed the autumn and winter carnivals due to a joint injury suffered at the start of the year. Corstens has had Commanding Jewel back at his stable in country Victoria for the past couple of weeks and said a saddle would go on the
filly for some trotting and cantering today. “She hasn’t had a saddle on since she’s been back in,” Corstens said. “She has just been on the water walker and swimming but I’ll put a saddle on her on Monday. “She looks enormous.” Corstens said he would let the daughter of Commands guide him as to where they head in the spring but he would love to have a crack at the Cox Plate. “She’ll be nominated for all the major races and hopefully she comes up to expectations like she did last time around,” Corstens said. “I have never had a Cox Plate runner before. It would be great to get there.”
Commanding Jewel is a three-quarter sister to the unbeaten Atlantic Jewel and emulated her high-profile sibling last year when she took out the Thousand Guineas. Corstens admitted it was frustrating having to miss the first half of 2013 with the talented filly but said they had no alternative other than to give her time in the paddock. “In the long run hopefully it’s a blessing in disguise,” he said. Zabeelionaire, the other Group One winner in the Corstens stable, will continue his Queensland campaign in the Ipswich Cup on Saturday and stay on for the Caloundra Cup so long as the tracks are dry. Zabeelionaire is last year’s South - AAP Australian Derby winner.

Rakaia advanced to the semifinals of the Combined Country Cup rugby competition, while Celtic was knocked out on Saturday. Rakaia overcame Waihora 28-8 in their quarter-final and will now host Lincoln this weekend in the semi-finals after the 2011 champions and three time runner-ups beat Oxford 40-17. However, Celtic will now play off for the minor placings after they went down 19-29 to defending champions Southbridge. Southbridge will play Saracens after the Rangiora-based side ended Ashley’s unbeaten season with a 27-19 upset win. In the trophy section Methven had a 15-all draw with Darfield and Glenmark beat Burnham 25-10. In the plate Southern won round two with Hampstead 32-17, while Kaiapoi got the better of Dunsandel Irwell and in the plaque Ohoka looks to have avoided the wooden spoon clinching their first win of the season beating Prebbleton 25-17.

The injury-hit British and Irish Lions are concerned they may be two tour games underdone leading into their showpiece Test series against the Wallabies. Hamstring tightness to likely playmaker Jonny Sexton is the latest worry for the Lions after they were forced to dig deep to defeat an inspired Queensland Reds outfit 22-12 at Suncorp on Saturday night. The tourists have three more games before they return to Brisbane for the first Test on June 22 and that presents precious little time to settle on a well-grooved starting 15 from the best of England, Ireland, Wales - AAP and Scotland.
Injuries could rule Scotland skipper Kelly Brown and fellow forwards Pat MacArthur and Euan Murray out of a threeweek South Africa rugby tour. Flank Brown, hooker MacArthur and tight-head prop Murray retired hurt during a 27-17 loss to Samoa at Kings Park on Saturday in the first round of a four-nation Test tournament. Scottish officials said a decision on the trio would be made today ahead of a Test against South Africa on next Saturday and a classification game one week - AFP later in Pretoria.

Rakaia’s Dwayne Burrows runs at the Waihora defence during the quarterfinal clash in Rakaia on Saturday. Southbridge, but surrendered the lead in the closing stages conceding two late tries for a 19-29 defeat. A strong first half had Celtic in the lead but Southbridge came home stronger, coming back from 9-19 down to take the win. Matt Winter scored a double and Sean Strange converted both for Celtic to lead 14-6 at halftime. It could have been 21-6, but after being awarded a try the play was brought back for a knock on. Southbridge landed a penalty to start the second half before Ben van der Walt scored a try to move

Rakaia v Waihora Rakaia ran over Waihora, scoring five tries in a convincing 28-8 quarter-final win. The Rakaia wings both dotted down in the first half, with Alex Clark getting over the line first and Richard Burns scoring later in the half with Josh Walker also landing a penalty for a 13-3 halftime lead. Burns scored his second to start the second half with Will Meads and Alipeti Polotele both scoring to complete the 28-8 win after Waihora managed to get across the Rakaia line once in the second half. “It was a pleasing effort and they stepped up to the mark against a good side,” Rakaia coach Wayne Foxcroft said. “We took them wide to score but did the hard yards up front first. “The forwards were unbelievable the way they carried the ball and on defence. We bashed and smashed them and they were hesitant to take it up in the finish.” Rakaia was able to run in five tries, but defence is the key in finals football and Foxcroft was impressed at his side’s efforts in shutting Waihora down. “It was great defence and if they don’t get the points on the board you don’t have to chase them. “Hopefully we can take another step up next week.”

With everything to play for Celtic chanced their arm but Southbridge forced a turnover and scored a converted try in the final minute to make it safe. “We went extremely close, but we were trying to run it from anywhere and that’s how we conceded the late try,” Celtic coach Dave McCrea said. “I couldn’t fault the determination and sheer guts from the guys.

Methven got off to a great start with Richard Webby scoring in the opening minutes, but Darfield ground their way up field and scored a try to level the scores. Methven couldn’t capitalise on the strong wind at their backs and went into halftime level at 8-8 after the sides traded penalties.

Southern v Hampstead Southern avenged an opening round loss to Hampstead by claiming a 32-17 win in the repeat fixture in Mayfield.
Southern kicked their way to the win in the second half after leading 12-10 at halftime, making the most of some ill-discipline from Hampstead. Lee Armstrong was the benefactor as he kicked six penalties and converted the tries of Elliott Morgan and Liam Boshoff for a personal tally of 22 points in the win. Hampstead scored a drop goal from Sione Paea in the first half and a converted try in each half, to Semisi Fakateli and Asoiata Masima but conceded too many penalties in the second half.
Hanan Shield hat-trick By Jonathan Leask Mid Canterbury’s senior netball team has retained the Hanan Shield for a third straight year. Mid Canterbury played two games in Timaru yesterday for a win and a draw, winning the one that mattered. Their first game was against Selwyn who had earlier beaten South Canterbury, and Mid Canterbury were down at half 8-13 time
and still down at the end of the third quarter at 16-18. Some handling errors proved costly in the final quarter but Mid Canterbury had enough of a comeback to earn a 25-all draw. The second game against South Canterbury was the one that mattered with the Hanan Shield up for grabs with no North Otago this year. Mid Canterbury were keen to keep hold of the trophy but had a fight on their hands with the scores tied 17-17.
Some tight defence and accurate shooting finally saw Mid Canterbury get on top in the second half, and they went on to close out a 38-25 win to secure the Hanan Shield hat-trick. The team was Sally Williams (captain), Gina Taylor, Claire Tappin, Olivia Hutchinson, Hannah Blair, Kelsey Ashworth, Kirsty Naish, Hayley Murphy, Charlotte Sampson and Rebecca Robinson, with coach Rachel Evans and manager Jan Whitehead.
Benji hails wounded Tigers By Ian McCullough Stand-in Wests Tigers skipper Benji Marshall has lauded the performance of his young teammates as the joint-venture’s battered, bruised and patched-up side came from behind to beat Penrith by 20-18 yesterday.

Mid-way through the second half Methven went ahead 15-8 after Jay Aitkin scored and Davey Maw converted. Darfield came charging back in the closing stages and despite some desperate goal line defence from Methven, the hosts scored adjacent to the posts and added the extras for a 15-all draw.
ners of four of their last five games, the Tigers hit back with three unanswered tries to David Nofoaluma his second - Ava Seumanufagai and Tim Simona to seal a memorable victory at Centrebet Stadium. Marshall, who made his debut for the Tigers in 2003, said the result was one of the best he could remember with a dozen first graders, including captain Robbie Farah, sidelined through injury and winger
Marika Koroibete joining them for up to six weeks after dislocating his elbow in the first half. “It would be one of the gutsiest for sure,” Marshall said. “At halftime we said if we could run a bit harder and tackle a bit harder we would give ourselves a chance. “The try before halftime definitely helped, it gave us the confidence to come out and have a go.” - AAP
Tom Abercrombie is heading to the US this week for a tilt at the NBA, with tryouts scheduled at San Antonio, Houston and Milwaukee and then a stint in the Las Vegas NBA summer league with the Phoenix Suns. The Breakers swingman has long been touted as a player capable of playing in the NBA and it was a matter of timing before he put himself in the shop window with tryouts in the US. The 25-year-old might have gone 12 months ago but a serious ankle injury put those plans on hold. Abercrombie has two years left on his current Breakers contract but has out-clauses that allow him to leave if he secures a deal - APNZ to play in the NBA.

Vink finished third in the 4.2km prologue in the International Thuringen Rhundfhart Under-23 tour of Germany, which follows his victory in the recent UCI 1.2 category Philippe Coningsloo Memorial in Belgium. Vink clocked 4:56.15 to finish three seconds behind winner Damien Howson of Australia with Olympic omnium gold medallist Lasse Norman Hansen of Den- APNZ mark second.
• Waratahs in upset A second-string NSW Waratahs outfit have kept their finals hopes flickering after an upset 28-13 triumph over the Western Force in yesterday’s Super Rugby clash at nib Stadium. The Waratahs entered the match minus most of their first-choice side, with 10 players on Wallabies duties and a further seven injured. But with their finals hopes dangling by a thread, the Waratahs ran in three tries in the opening 25 minutes before displaying a fierce defensive effort for the rest of the match to secure the vital win. The triumph moved NSW into seventh spot, just two points adrift of the sixth-placed Crusaders and fifthplaced Cheetahs. NSW almost secured the four-try bonus point after the siren, but winger Peter Betham was ruled to have knocked on - AAP

MISERY OF 2012 INSPIRES SERENA TO FRENCH OPEN VICTORY P9 | WARRIORS MAKE IT A HAT-TRICK P12
Smith provides the spark brilliant in broken play, but goes looking for work too. Twice in the first half he was at captain Kieran Read’s shoulder to make ground from quick free-kicks. In other words, a coach’s dream. Smith played on the right wing on Saturday night but can do equally well at fullback and he is likely to be the first guy Steve Hansen approaches for Conrad Smith’s centre spot later this year. He could also be putting plenty of pressure on Dagg for his No15 jersey, and moved there in the second half after Dagg was replaced by Rene Ranger. There were question marks last year about whether Smith could make the step up to the top level despite being a consistently high achiever in Super Rugby. His performance in the third test against Ireland should have answered that. It was one of his best performances in a black jersey after making his debut in 2009 against Italy in Milan. The 25-year-old has come a long way since then. He was the guy who sparked things on Saturday night, yet chased back to clean up the kick through under the posts with 12 minutes remaining as France threw everything at the All Blacks. Imagine what he could do with a bit more self belief. After the match, French coach Philippe Saint-Andre - who was involved in that famous victory 19 years ago which earned his team a series victory - was a picture of disappointment. “Each time they have a possibility [of scoring] they score,” Saint-Andre said of the All Blacks, who were on a slightly different level in terms of efficiency and ruthlessness. “At first I thought we broke [through] them quite a lot, maybe seven times, but we didn’t finish enough. At the high level of the game it’s the small - APNZ details.”
By Patrick McKendry The word in the All Blacks camp is that Ben Smith doesn’t know quite how good he is. This is the guy who has been shining all season for a Highlanders team which couldn’t buy a trick until last weekend, when all of their frustrations came out against the Blues. Who was the fire-starter in that first half with a couple of tries? One Ben Smith. And on Saturday night he was at it again. The All Blacks might not have been worried at 7-0 down a quarter of the way through the match, but they certainly had plenty to think about. But, after Aaron Cruden finally found the target after two misses, a moment of magic from Smith sparked his team into action. Fullback Israel Dagg took a high kick on the halfway mark, the ball was quickly recycled and then Smith’s speed of thought and feet did the rest. Spying two forwards in front of him, he stepped on the accelerator in that whippet-like way of his, drew the last defender, first-five Camille Lopez, and passed inside to his namesake Aaron Smith, a team-mate at the Highlanders. The little halfback sped towards the line for the All Blacks’ opening try and was in the action moments later when following up a Ma’a Nonu break and putting Sam Cane under the posts. Aaron Smith and Nonu, two Highlanders having memorable seasons for all the wrong reasons. That’s the thing about Ben Smith. He doesn’t do form slumps. He is the best of both worlds - X-factor with a healthy dose of common sense. He is a guy who can make something out of nothing, but also do the right thing at the right time. He’s

All Blacks winger Ben Smith tries to power through the French defensive line in Saturday night’s test at Auckland’s Eden Park.
Mid Canterbury go down in 10 goal thriller down the right resulted in Feutz powering a header into the corner from an Austen Beats cross. Minutes later it was 3-0 as Feutz turned on the edge of the box and drove the ball into the corner. The second half continued with free-flowing football and chances from both sides. The best move of the game led to Mid Canterbury going 4-0 as they passed the ball from the edge of their own box with French and Roberts linking well before Roberts played a fine through ball inside the fullback for Beats to cross first time into the box where man of the
match Feutz drilled in his hat-trick. As the Mid Canterbury legs began to tire the home side pulled a couple of goals back, and Mid Canterbury narrowly missed scoring a fifth. They were made to pay moments later as some indecision in the visitors defence led to the home side scoring their third. The game was then turned on its head. Once again the Christchurch United striker ran on to a through ball, Sandro mistimed his challenge and hauled down the strikerreceiving a red card to have Mid Canterbury down to 10 men and no

goalkeeper, and the scores became level from the penalty kick. Buoyed by the turn of events the hosts soon went in front 5-4. Playing a man down and tiring, Mid Canterbury almost conjured up an equaliser but two minutes later it was 6-4 as the home team scored past stand-in keeper Tony Cass to complete the come-back victory.

The Mid Canterbury seniors finished with 10 men in losing a 10-goal thriller to Christchurch United 6-4 on the artificial pitch at ASB Park in Mainland Football division one on Friday night. A Greg Feutz hat-trick had Mid Canterbury ahead 4-0 in the second half, before the hosts produced a six goal comeback aided in part by the sending off of the Mid Canterbury goalkeeper. “It was one of the most amazing games of football I have ever seen,”
An early Ricky Barbosa corner led to a strange first goal as Greg Feutz’s header was handled on the line, with Steve French putting in the rebound. However, the goal was scratched as the linesman was flagging, apparently unable to tell that the ball had crossed the line and the referee awarded a penalty but curiously no red card. Guiseppe Vassalini stepped up but his spot kick hit the post only for Jack Roberts to be the quickest to follow up and smashed his volley into the net. The visitors then went two up when another good passing move

Mid Canterbury coach Peter Roberts said. “We were outstanding in possession, played some great football and scored some great goals. However, most of the team are not fit enough for 90 minutes on that pitch and they have the advantage of playing their home games on it. “I always knew the last 15-20 minutes was going to be tough, but with a four goal lead I thought we had done enough. “ With a full squad to choose from with everyone keen to play at the stadium under lights, the full strength line up started well and soon had the home side under pressure.
