THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY

Ashburton retailers are using a simple and unexpected piece of technology to rally together against recidivist shoplifters. Shopkeepers at more than 40 local stores downloaded the free smartphone messaging app WhatsApp in November, and now say it has become an invaluable tool for alerting one another to any thieves in town. When they suspect a shoplifter is in their midst, shopkeepers simply open the app, send out a message, and quietly let others know to keep an eye out, retailers’ spokesman Bob McDonald said.

They may choose to share information like physical descriptions of shoplifters, photos of security camera footage, or even licence plate numbers. “We can use the app to alert others, catch the thieves, or send them on their way,” he said. He said WhatsApp has since proven handy on a number of occasions – including against a group of thieves last week. The WhatsApp messenger group was started by Kitchen Kapers owner Rachael Redmond, following a meeting with police about how to stop or limit shoplifting and disorderly behaviour in shops last year.

Meanwhile, larger retailers like supermarkets are using special crime intelligence software like Auror to share crime reports with one another, and also directly with police. The cloud-based Auror system was trialled in small areas of New Zealand last year, and Z Energy, New World and Countdown have since vowed to roll it out in their stores nationwide. While Auror were unable to confirm exactly which retailers were using the technology, they said it was actively being used in the Ashburton area.

Concerns over after-ball parties By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drug Service is worried about students attending private alcohol parties after the Ashburton College ball. The majority of students and their ball partners have chosen to attend an official alcohol-free party after the ball on June 29 but Acads chief executive Chris Clark said a smaller number would attend private parties where alcohol would no doubt be consumed. She is reminding parents and adults hosting or supervising alcohol parties to be aware of their legal responsibilities. “The people hosting a party can be held liable if deemed they have supplied under 18s without consent. It is a fine of $2000.” Hosts needed the express consent from parents or guardians if alcohol was supplied. This was best done in written form, on paper. “Then even if you have consent you must provide it in a responsible manner. This includes making sure they’re supervised, providing food and a choice of low and nonalcoholic drinks and arranging or providing safe transport options.” Drivers under 20 have a zero alcohol limit. Clark said Acads applauded the parents and young people who had planned the alcohol-free after-party.

“These parents and young people have put a lot of effort into planning a safe event.” Acads would supply free bottled water, alongside other nonalcoholic drinks and food that would be available at the party. Clark said parents needed to ensure young people were safe by dropping them off and picking them up. She advised the hosts of private parties to register their parties on the Good One Party Register, which provided tips for hosts. These registered events were less likely to result in calls to police of out-of-control parties. It was an opportune time for all parents to talk to their young people about safety regarding alcohol, she said. “We are aware more young people are delaying their use of alcohol and parents can be great supporters of this choice.” The service had noticed more young people were choosing not to drink and realising they could have fun without alcohol. Ultimately, parents needed to remember it was about caring for and protecting their young people, and ensuring their safety, she said. “The research is telling us that brains still developing are more susceptible to alcohol-related harm. We know that young people have less tolerance to the effects of alcohol.”

If you are hosting an after-ball party where alcohol is being served, you need to know your legal responsibilities.

Shop owners fight back against shoplifters From P1 Auror is designed to help stores cut down the time taken to report crime and to bridge the gap between retailers and police.

Instead of visiting the local police station, manually filling in forms and retrieving security footage after a theft, retailers can record crime details and share

■ FINEBOON INVITE

Ashburton delegation off to China By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton District Mayor Donna Favel is off to China next month as a guest of Chinese goat milk processor Fineboon. She will be accompanied by Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon and Ashburton College principal Ross Preece, also travelling as guests of the company. Fineboon is a major shareholder in the goat milk powder packaging operation owned by the New Zealand Dairy Collaborative Group in the Ashburton District Council’s business park north of Ashburton. Favel said that she had been invited by Fineboon to the opening of a new goat milk processing factory in Inner Mongolia, in her capacity as mayor of this district. It will be her second trip to China this year. Falloon said the delegation would attend the plant opening in Hulunbuir and visit the city of Xian. He visited China twice before becoming an MP, once on a private holiday and the second time as part of a trade delegation. “China is a hugely impor-

tant market for New Zealand, and they put a high premium on meeting face-to-face with local representatives. “Fineboon have made a large investment in Ashburton with their milk drying plant, and will be a significant local employer when it is fully operational.” Preece said the trip was a golden opportunity to cement the school’s relationship with Chinese educators in the Xian area. International director Michelle Hosking visited there in 2017 and Preece will return to those schools. He said there were exciting educational opportunities in terms of China. “They are keen to reach out and make connections with other school systems.” Developing the relationship could result in student and teacher exchanges. Preece said the growth in China was phenomenal and Ashburton College wanted to equip its students to be global citizens. For students interested in commerce, exchanging ideas or learning some Mandarin it would pay dividends in their working lives. The delegation leaves on July 15.

Schools’ music festival kicks off School children from throughout Mid Canterbury are raising their voices in song for the annual Heartland Primary Music Festival. The three-night festival opened last night, kicked off by Ashburton Intermediate, Mt Somers Springburn, Our Lady of the Snows, Ashburton Borough and Netherby schools. As well as 16 primary school choirs performing over the three consecutive nights at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre, the district’s representative choir is performing, and there will be items from Ashburton College and Mount Hutt College choirs. Musical director Anna Lischner said yesterday, prior to last night’s opening performance, that children around the district had been working hard to present the festival, which had been held in the district for more than 40 years. And they were enjoying the wide range of songs they got to sing as part of it. “It’s a wide variety of genres, we always try to have songs new and old, and multi-cultural,” she said.

New Methven subdivision takes shape By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

The owners of a new subdivision in Methven hope to bring the sections to market within one month. Thyme Stream is located on the western outskirts of the town, on Mt Harding Road, and comprises 16 sections of one acre each. Mary and Steve MacLachlan are expecting to have section titles by the end of this month, and will then list the first sections for sale. Mary said sections had been designed with the beauty of nearby Mt Hutt and the Southern Alps in mind. “That’s a major part of it, it’s being designed around the view,” she said. Thyme Stream would also have a walkway, developed as an extension to the nearby Methven Walkway. Mt Harding Stream flows through the development, and this is being enhanced with rocks and steps to the water’s edge. The Ashburton District Council has granted resource consent for the subdivision to be carried out in three stages, with two sections in the first stage. Consent was for subdivision of land zoned Residential D in order to create 16 residential allotments, one recreation reserve and one road allotment.

Thyme Stream, shown in surveyor plans submitted to the Ashburton District Council, has 16 sections to be developed in three stages.

■ OUR LADY OF THE SNOWS SCHOOL

Methvenites take on the Oxfam Ration Challenge BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Methven community are becoming well acquainted with lentils and beans as 14 locals take on the Oxfam Ration Challenge. A team of staff, parents and supporters from Our Lady of the Snows School (OLS) have pledged to spend a week living on the same rations as Syrian refugees, to help raise money for Oxfam and raise awareness of the plight of the world’s 65.5 million refugees. Just two days in they had already raised more than $8400, becoming the top fundraising team in the country. Deputy board chair Cara Smart said the week also coincides with International Refugee Day today and has been a chance for Our Lady of the Snows students to learn about refugee life. “Last week OLS children had their Refugee Day early, watching clips of children living in refugee camps and talking about what it would be like to live in a camp,” she said. “They role-played fleeing their home in a hurry like a refugee, only having time to grab a backpack, not even time for shoes or coats!” In room 2, students used their maths knowledge to help teacher Tania Goodwin divvy up her rations for each day. They also made tents with blankets, created their own camp, spent a day living in the tents and wrote prayers for a refugee, Smart said. Around 2000 Kiwis take on the Ration Challenge each year, along with thousands of others around the globe. Since the Ration Challenge started in 2013, nearly $NZ6 million has been raised for Syrian refugees living in Jordan and other vulnerable communities around the world. The OLS team will finish the ration challenge on Sunday, and donations can be made to my.rationchallenge. org.nz/teamols

■ GOOD IN THE HOOD CAMPAIGN

Eight local groups much better off By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Eight local charitable groups are walking away with generous cheques in hand, following Z Energy’s annual Good in the Hood campaign. Z Energy’s two Ashburton stations have together collected nearly $10,000 for causes in the Mid Canterbury community, which were divvied up with the help of customers placing ‘votes’ in store during May. Z Ashburton collected votes for Ronald McDonald House South Island, St John Ashburton Health Shuttle, Look Good Feel Better Ashburton and Ashburton Prostate Cancer Foundation Support Group, while Z Tinwald collected votes for Victim Support Mid Canterbury, the Cancer Society Canterbury-West Coast Division, the Blind Foundation and Child Cancer Foundation’s Mid Canterbury branch. All groups received at least $1000. Z Ashburton site leader Jimmy Tweedle said the initiative has successfully been helping community groups for seven years now, and it was great to be able to give back. “All of the causes are fantastic,” he said. This year’s campaign had included one day where Z Energy users received a 6 cent per litre discount, and each community group also received a 6 cent donation for every litre purchased. This amounted to about $220 extra for each group, Tweedle said. Child Cancer Mid Canterbury’s Sharon McKenzie said it was a fantastic initiative, and the $1550 fundraised for her charity would go a long way to supporting both children and their families. “We really, really appreciate the support,” she said.

Z Energy’s two Ashburton sites are helping fuel the charitable groups working hard in Mid Canterbury.

Petitioning for four lanes Selwyn MP Amy Adams and her Rangitata compatriot Andrew Falloon (above) delivered a petition to Parliament yesterday afternoon calling on the government to extend State Highway One between Ashburton and Christchurch to four lanes. In presenting the petition, which contained more than 1000 signatures, Falloon said increasing the highway to four lanes would make the road safer, while also be-

ing an investment in future growth in the region. He said he was hugely disappointed the government was ignoring the regions in favour of Auckland projects. “It means important upgrades to busy roads in regional New Zealand won’t happen, making them less safe and more congested, becoming a handbrake on the growth of our local economy.”

As National Volunteer Week kicks off around the country, Ashburton Borough School students are among those eyeing up chances to give back to their community. A unique initiative, started 20 years ago by principal Sam Winterbourn, offers senior students the chance to be recognised for participation in events in and out of the school, including through volunteering. The Success Service Award has helped students make an “enormous contribution” over the years, said Year 8 teacher Emma Hewett – everything from coaching sports teams to caring for pets at the SPCA, helping at preschools, the Salvation Army and Riding for the Disabled. Volunteering is a chance for learners to “apply their knowledge and skills to community service”, and to make meaningful

contributions to the world around them, she said. “As it has been going many years there are various people in the community who are aware of the volunteering aspect and offer that they need help from some students.” The award is open to any Year 7 or 8 student, and each participant can earn points for activities and events that they partake in – with a silver award for those who reach 80 points or gold for those that reach 100. The compulsory volunteer component requires students to complete four hours of volunteer work within the community. National Volunteer Week started yesterday, and is designed to recognise and celebrate the 1.2 million Kiwis who give their time, skills and goodwill to helping their communities. This year’s theme is Heart of our Communities – looking at the essential link between the volunteers and the communities who benefit from their work.

OUR VIEW

A step in the right direction W

here there’s a means, there is always a way and Ashburton retailers are certainly showing that at the moment. Last year robust discussions were held around sharpening up the awareness around shoplifting in the Ashburton CBD and the meeting held was seen as a real positive step forward for the township in deterring the unwanted from wandering into local stores and taking off with products and goods. Fast forward to now and how good is it to hear that those initial discussions have led to a really strong network of businesses getting in and working together to combat petty crime. We’ve got a system in place that

is seemingly working in combating crime on our inner-city streets and the more businesses and retail outlets that get on board with the idea, the better it will be for the township. What was evident from the outset was that not every retail outlet in the Ashburton CBD was going to be financially capable of buying into the Auror programme used by some of the big chain stores around the country,

so it took a bit of creative genius and some Kiwi ingenuity, but the method detailed further forward in today’s paper is the result. Rachael Redmond, of Kitchen Kapers, put forward the idea and, through her efforts, things are improving. And the even better news is that the use of the WhatsApp messenger service is working and taking small, but firm steps in the direction of steering those individuals who think it’s their right to walk into a store and take what they want, away from our central business district. In the 12 months ending April 30, 2018, 96 thefts were reported to police by retailers in Ashburton and with the WhatsApp system doing its thing, you’d like

to think that the same period in 12 months’ time will see a significant decrease as the movement really hits its straps. Like anything, it’s not going to be perfect and it requires welltrained and keen eyes of employees of local businesses, but it’s something that in time should only get stronger and stronger. And who knows, for every individual identified, there’s every chance that they’re running off and telling whoever they can from the same realm of life to steer clear of Ashburton because they’ve got their act together and are completely aware of what is going on. Even if that stops an extra 10 people every year from thinking they can walk their way into

Ashburton and walk back out with items from our stores, that is a huge win in the big scheme of things. Retail theft costs retailers in New Zealand an incredible $1.1 billion each year and while you’re never going to completely rid the country of such behaviour – movements like the one we are seeing here locally are definitely a sign that things are heading in the right direction. So, let’s hope the movement continues and more and more get behind it. Life in small business is tough enough these days without frequently losing product out the doors. Any step we can take is a positive one.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Wednesday, June 20, the 171st day of 2018. There are 194 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On June 20, 1893, a jury in New Bedford, Massachusetts, found Lizzie Borden not guilty of the axe murders of her father and stepmother. On this date: In 1782, Congress approved the Great Seal of the United States, featuring the emblem of the bald eagle. In 1789, during the French Revolution, members of the Third Estate took the Tennis Court Oath, vowing not to disband until a written constitution was in place. In 1791, King Louis XVI of France and his family attempted to flee in the so-called Flight to Varennes, but were caught. In 1837, Queen Victoria acceded to the British throne following the death of her uncle, King William IV. In 1863, West Virginia became the 35th state. In 1943, race-related rioting erupted in Detroit; federal troops were sent in two days later to quell the violence that resulted in more than 30 deaths. In 1967, boxer Muhammad Ali was convicted in Houston of violating Selective Service laws by refusing to be drafted and was sentenced to five years in prison. (Ali’s conviction was ultimately overturned by the US Supreme Court). In 1988, the US Supreme Court unanimously upheld a New York City law making it illegal for private clubs with more than 400 members to exclude women and minorities.

you he’s kind of a big deal. I can tell you he’s the man using his DJ decks to tap into lad culture like none before him, and making his robotic-noise mark on student flats around the country. Hailing from Kent, England, he is largely unknown in other parts of the world, but managed to sell out UC’s The Foundry in under three seconds. Over 30,000 of his monthly Spotify listeners are from Auckland and Christchurch alone. It seems There’s Something About Macky (sorry, bad reference), that just resonates with Kiwi students – and in particular, the lads. And I have to admit, I too feel something weirdly cathartic about his robotic drum and bass screeches, particularly after a few beverages of the fermented fruit variety – so I wanted to go

along to his first New Zealand concert and work out why. What is it about Macky Gee that makes university lads so damn excited? I mean ... it’s definitely not his lyrics. As he opened with one of his most popular numbers, I joined the crowd in chanting along. “It’s another big banger, mash mash mash, banger banger banger, mash mash mash, bangers and bangers and bangers and bangers and bangers and bangers and mash. Banger banger banger mash mash mash! It’s another big banger, mash mash mash – banger banger banger, mash mash mash. Bangers and bangers and bangers and bangers and bangers and bangers and mash – banger banger banger, mash mash mash!” It’s also not his groove-friendly rhythms. Despite producing an album named Sway, there is absolutely nothing graceful about the way people move to Macky’s music. As the beats drop, elbows collide, toes are crushed, heads are knocked, hair is pulled and people routinely go sprawling to

the ground. The floor itself is a sticky, splattered mess, covered in what my British friend calls “razz juice” – dripped-down dirt, sweat and drinks. It’s like 50°C and some boys, blissfully unaware of their close proximity and body odour, decide to combat the heat with shirtlessness. It’s not a dance floor but an all-out brawl and all in the name of “fun”. But that’s just it, I fathom. That’s exactly why Macky Gee’s music is so revered among the lads. Gone are the days of emasculation, as Beyonce’s Single Ladies plays for the fifth time at the same party and the lads awkwardly attempt to dance and sing along. Gone are the days of downing their 7 per cent proof Diesel RTDs and then having to suppress the testosterone coursing through their veins. Macky Gee’s basslines are sweet release and his concerts pure, unreserved chaos. So, as they always say, “yeah the boys”. Watch this space.

Staffer couldn’t stop ride A Dreamworld ride operator says the Thunder River Rapids ride failed to shut down despite him pushing a stop button “two or three times” shortly before a raft flipped and killed four guests. Peter Nemeth gave evidence yesterday on the second day of an inquest into the October 2016 tragedy at the Gold Coast theme park. Nemeth was at the main control panel of the supposedly family-friendly ride when a water pump failed and the water level in the attraction dropped rapidly, causing a raft to become stranded on rails. When Nemeth noticed another raft with guests in it on a collision course with the stranded raft he attempted to shut down the ride. But despite pushing a stop button multiple times, Nemeth said the ride’s conveyor mechanism did not shut down. “It did not stop even though I pressed it two or three times,” Nemeth said. “It did stop after the rafts had collided.” By that time Cindy Low, Kate Goodchild, her brother Luke Dorsett and his partner Roozi Araghi had been flung from the raft and fatally injured. Goodchild’s 12-year-old

Locklear hospitalised

Police and an engineer carry out checks on the Thunder River Rapids ride following the tragedy that claimed four lives in 2016. daughter and Low’s 10-yearold son survived the accident. Nemeth said he’d noticed the water level had dropped moments before the accident when he was loading other guests on to a raft. He said he knew the pump had malfunctioned as a similar problem had occurred while he was working on the attraction a week earlier. The inquest at Southport Coroners Court has already

heard the “slow-stop” button on the control panel would halt the rafts about eight seconds after the button had been pushed. Earlier yesterday, a forensic crash investigator said his investigation had indicated the button had been pushed after the rafts had already collided. An emergency stop panel at the nearby unloading dock, which would have stopped the raft conveyor belt in just

two seconds, wasn’t pushed at all, the inquest heard. Senior Constable Steven Cornish said that emergency button could have lessened the likelihood of death, even if it was pushed after the collision. “It wouldn’t have avoided (the tragedy), it may have limited some injuries. Possibly,” Sen Const Cornish said. The inquest continues. - AAP

US suspends military drills with Sth Korea The Pentagon says it has formally suspended a major military exercise planned for August with South Korea, a much-anticipated move stemming from US President Donald Trump’s nuclear summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The announcement says all planning for the exercise has been stopped.

Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White says the department has made no decisions on other military exercises with South Korea. Exercises with other countries in the Pacific will continue. Trump’s abrupt decision to cancel what he called provocative and expensive “war games” appeared to catch US defence officials by surprise

last week and ran counter to long-held American arguments that the drills are critical for effective operations with allies. The Pentagon has for years flatly denied North Korean assertions that the exercises are “provocative”. Meanwhile, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a phone conversation

with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to discuss Syria, North Korea and plans for any future US-Russian contacts. The Russian Foreign Ministry said Lavrov and Pompeo focused on the Syrian settlement and also talked about “consolidating efforts to solve the problems of the Korean Peninsula”. -AP

Heather Locklear was hospitalised for threatening to shoot herself on Sunday – and choked her own mother when she tried to help her, sources say. The troubled actress reportedly flew into a jealous rage over suspicion her fiance Chris Heisser was cheating on her according to DailyMail. Locklear continued to spiral out of control over the weekend, sources said, and by Sunday she was so out of control she allegedly attacked her parents when they tried to calm her down. ‘(Her parents) tried to help her, but she in turn choked her mom and hit her dad,’ the source said.

Pair hook up after show Heartbreak Island contestants Tiffany and Kristian have admitted they hooked up after they left the show. The pair were eliminated in Monday night’s shock episode of the TVNZ 2 reality show which saw two Power Plays used. While the pair weren’t an item on the show, they admitted to The Hits hosts Jason and Estelle that feelings changed when they went on to film spinoff series Secret Date. “We had the day off in Fiji and went to the waterpark there,” Tiffany said. It wasn’t until the cameras were switched off that the hook-up happened.

Accused’s father: ‘I’ve also experienced loss’ “By the time he gets out, I’ll be dead. And you, Mr Sensitive, decide it’s a good idea to show me how much you care by sending me this.” The father of the 19-year-old man accused of raping and murdering Eurydice Dixon has lashed out at online trolls. Jason Todd used the opportunity to reveal his despair that he may “never get to hug” his son again, reports the Herald Sun. “I’ve offered my condolences to Eurydice’s family (a futile gesture I understand) … but I’ve also experienced loss,” Todd wrote on social media. “I’ll never get to see my son get

Eurydice Dixon married, have children, buy a house … damn, I’ll never be able to hug him again.” Todd’s son, Jaymes, has been charged with the rape and murder of Dixon whose death sparked discussion over the

right for women to feel safe while walking home. Todd attacked “sneaky” people posting “s**t in public” and shared screenshots of one of his tormentor’s posts. Aimed at Todd, it read: “Hope you’re proud … LOL your son is going to get his in prison … he will scream so hard,” one user wrote. Todd posted screenshots from the user’s Facebook page in an apparent attempt to shame them. The posts were deleted shortly after the Herald Sun began making inquiries. He has previously apologised for his son’s alleged actions, la-

belling them “disgusting”. His statements came hours before 10,000 mourners gathered on Monday night in Princes Park – where the comedian’s body was found – for a candlelight vigil. Dixon’s death sparked discussion over the right for women to feel safe while walking home. The 22-year-old’s gruesome death stunned the nation and has sparked debate over violence against women. Hundreds of thousands of posts flooded social media in the wake of her death with the majority expressing grief and solidarity with women. - NZME

‘It just wasn’t fun’ Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie have revealed why they walked away from their hit HBO sitcom Flight of the Conchords. The duo made two seasons of the show between 2007 and 2009 and scored rave reviews, leaving many fans wondering why they never made a third. Speaking to The Guardian during their tour of the UK and Ireland, they said the pressure to work to the tight schedules required of a television series took its toll. “It just wasn’t fun,” McKenzie says. In fact, the duo felt so strongly they didn’t want to continue, that they asked their agents not to tell them if they were offered a third series.

New Zealand milk processors collected record levels of milk in the last two months of the 2017/18 season as favourable weather boosted pasture growth, helping make up for trying conditions during the spring and early summer. Dairy Companies Association of New Zealand data shows the country’s milk processors collected 88,812,000 kilograms of milksolids in May, up 5.7 per cent from May last year and setting a new record for the month. That follows a record collection of 148,177,000 kg/MS in April, and means production for the full season to the end of May was down 0.6 per cent from the previous year. “The 2017/18 season will be remembered by many dairy farmers for the trying conditions they were dealt during the spring and early summer,” AgriHQ chief analyst Susan Kilsby said in a note. “However, extremely favourable conditions for pasture production prevailed in the later part of the season.” – NZME

New Zealand sheep farmers, whose fortunes in recent years have been overshadowed by their dairy farmer colleagues, are having a strong season with lamb prices approaching record levels, according to AgriHQ’s Monthly Sheep & Beef report for June. “This season continues to move from strength-to-strength for sheep farmers, mainly due to the incredible heights slaughter prices are reaching,” AgriHQ analyst Reece Brick said in his report. “Winter contracts within the North Island and lower supplies in the South Island have pulled lamb slaughter prices up by 30 cents/kg in both regions.” In the North Island, meat processors have lifted their lamb prices for six consecutive weeks, with offers of $7.55-$7.75/kg as of last week and contracts for July and August at $7.75-$7.90/kg. Spot market prices also approaching these levels. In the South Island higher slaughter volumes through April and early May had now slowed, giving prices a boost with offers of $7.40-$7.60/kg as of last week. Brick said there is increasing confidence that farmers will be offered $8/kg for lamb late in the season, pushing into territory that’s only ever been seen once before in October/November 2011 when North Is-

land lamb prices peaked around $8.25/kg and the South Island got to $8/kg. “The very strong export market is providing a solid base for slaughter pricing, but it is likely that competition between processors for numbers will be the icing on the cake that’d pull the market towards $8/kg,” Brick said. “Slaughter prices usually peak around October/November, so if we hit $8/ kg it’ll likely be for a short period before new season lambs begin to be killed in any meaningful numbers.” Higher lamb slaughter prices have pulled store lamb values upwards, while record mutton slaughter prices are providing a good base for the early in-lamb ewe market, though most are selling for breeding purposes, he said. New Zealand and Australia shipped massive volumes of lamb overseas the past four weeks, but all markets have managed to hold their own regardless, Brick said. In May, a combined 67,000 tonnes of lamb was exported from the two countries, more than any other month as far back as at least 2010, and 26 per cent higher than May last year. Out of this wave, it was China that saw the largest increase, taking 21,500 tonnes or 32 per cent of exports across the two countries. This was 52 per cent more than both last year and the five-year average. All other markets were up year-on-year too. – NZME

In brief Fun on the squash court If you’re a woman living in the Methven area and would like to give squash a go, then the Methven Squash Club wants to hear from you. The squash club is hosting a ladies night on June 22 at 6.30pm which is about showing potential new ladies how fun social squash can be, and helping existing members to get to know each other. They’ll explain how leagues work and hope to get some new registrations for the winter league which starts in July, and the club’s championships which will be held from July 25-27.

Jones ‘loving criticism’

Allenton can’t break Methven’s shackles

Eddie Jones has come out swinging after England’s fifth straight test defeat in a row against South Africa, claiming he was “absolutely loving” the criticism despite admitting he had “knives in [his] back”. Jones held one-to-one interviews with his entire squad on Monday at their base in Umhlanga, 48 hours after the 23-12 defeat which condemned his side to series defeat. Afterwards, he insisted that these “bloody tough periods” were what defined a champion team and said that he felt more positive about England’s prospects for the Rugby World Cup in 2019 than he had been previously. - NZME

‘We can beat Crusaders’

SBW ‘going to have a crack’

New Western Force recruit Jeremy Thrush says Friday night’s clash with the Crusaders is winnable, but he knows it will be tough to find chinks in the champion NZ outfit. The Crusaders sit on top of the Super Rugby ladder with a 12-2 record, but the defending champions will be missing their All Blacks stars in the World Series Rugby clash in Perth. The Force put up a good fight in their recent loss to the Melbourne Rebels, and the Perth-based franchise is desperate to push the Crusaders all the way. - AAP

Tactics questioned

Methven and Collegiate are tied at the top of the Mid Canterbury Rugby senior B standings after two rounds of the Centennial Mug competition. Both notched up their second win from two outings in the second round competition on Saturday. Methven kept Allenton scoreless, winning 33-0, while Collegiate were too good for Southern, winning 24-8. The day’s other match between Mt Somers and Celtic was a hard-fought affair, with Celtic coming out on top 17-13. Rakaia – the winners of the season’s first round competition, the Michael Duff Trophy – weren’t in action on Saturday, with their game against Hampstead deferred to a yet to be confirmed time and place.

■ RUGBY

From recovery mode to holiday mode to being brought into the All Blacks camp and potentially starting against the French on Saturday – it’s been an everchanging three weeks for Sonny Bill Williams who is backing his proven ability to deliver on the big stage in Dunedin should he get the chance. Williams’ physical attributes are the most obviously striking but the midfielder’s mental strength cannot be underestimated, either. It is a quality which has helped him through an often tumultuous league and rugby career and it is what has got him to this point this week after a surprisingly quick recuperation from knee surgery. It was the 32-year-old who brought up his performance last time out here in the deep south when he dropped three passes in the opening few minutes against Australia in that dramatic Bledisloe Cup test last August, won in the final few minutes by the All Blacks, but the father of two girls has become very good at putting things in perspective and leaving the negatives behind. If he does start in the No.12

Sonny Bill is ready to get back on the field and it may be as early as Saturday night against France.

jersey only four weeks after an operation on his right knee, Williams will no doubt find the pace and intensity under the roof extremely challenging, but provided he sticks to what he’s good at – running hard and straight and defending with power and intelligence – the All Blacks are likely to be in excellent hands. “Those types of things are what I am going to have to deal with if I do get selected,” Williams said of his lack of recent game time. “But what’s the worst that can happen? “Probably last year’s Bledisloe is the worst thing that can happen after I dropped the first three balls.

“But I’m still here and still smiling and still keen to give it a go. “I’m just keen to get out there and if I do and that’s starting or off the bench or whatever, I’m going to have a crack, bro.” Williams, apparently more laid back now than at any other time in his professional career, knows he can’t be in control of everything, and whether that’s the result of his increasing maturity, being a married dad of two, the support network within the All Blacks, it all adds up to a sensible approach off the field and a ruthless one on it. “I used to be really methodical on how I prepared to play a game,” he said.

“I’ve gone through games having absolute shockers after I’ve ticked every single box beforehand. “Obviously I’m not 100 per cent physically because I haven’t played for a while but I back myself through, I guess, my knowledge of the game and the way I have prepared and my mental state – how I cope with that. “It’s good to have those emotions … no one likes that feeling of the unknown and almost being scared sometimes but once you sit with it and you embrace it you can move forward and put into action what you want to do.” To laughs from the gathered media, he added: “Sorry about that … that was a bit deep.” After informing wife Alana that he wouldn’t be available for a planned family trip away he has thrown himself wholeheartedly into getting into the right shape for his first test of the year and 47th in total. “I was in holiday mode … I rang my wife and she was a little bit upset because we had planned things to do but I’m back in there.” And he’s enjoying every minute by the look of things. France beware. - NZME

The Wallabies are set to speak to match officials about their main attacking weapon Israel Folau being blunted by what they consider Ireland’s illegal blocking tactics. While they concede their discipline and kicking both needed to improve after the second test loss in Melbourne, Wallabies officials were concerned by some of the tactics employed by Ireland. Apart from blocking high-flying fullback Folau, they questioned the way Ireland slowed Australia’s ball at the breakdown and the policing of incidents like the one in which Will Genia suffered a broken arm from an alleged king-hit. - NZME

Foster chimes in If rugby does ever decide to refine its law book, it can’t be at the expense of having a red card option to punish those who commit clear and obvious foul play. That’s the view of All Blacks assistant coach Ian Foster who said he wasn’t particularly surprised by the judiciary panel’s decision to quash the red card that was shown to French fullback Benjamin in Wellington, but wouldn’t be in favour of seeing the red card eradicated from the game of rugby. - NZME

■ FUTURE TOP JOCKEY

Following in Walker’s steps With nine wins under his belt in less than a month, including victory on his very first race-day mount, New Zealand racing may be witnessing the emergence of a future riding star amongst its apprentice jockey ranks. Go back a few years and the future for South Auckland youngster Wiremu Pinn certainly didn’t look as rosy as the one that lies in front of the 19-year-old now. Pinn, by his own admission, isn’t the scholarly type, and had found his way in and out of plenty of trouble during his formative years growing up in the Auckland suburb of Manurewa. At just 15 he was forced to deal with the death of one of his closest friends, an event that could have sent him spiralling into more serious situations without the timely intervention of a high-school counsellor. “I was seeing a counsellor after my best mate had hung himself and trying to deal with all that

goes with that. Part of the therapy was visiting a horse farm where we could touch and be with the animals which was something I had never done before. “The lady there told me I had the right build to become a jockey. “I kind of had to ask her what a jockey did as my family have no idea about racing and it wasn’t something I’d ever even considered before.” That fateful comment set the wheels in motion for Pinn, who was put in contact with Peter Hingston at NZ Equine Training and enrolled in a course. “From there I met Noel Harris and with Peter they recommended me to Te Akau,” Pinn said. “I started my apprenticeship and learnt a lot from so many people there, although I did manage to get myself into trouble as I wasn’t that well behaved.” That’s when Taranaki trainer Allan Sharrock entered the picture. Sharrock, who has developed

and mentored jockeys of the calibre of Michael Walker and Matthew Cameron, wasn’t expecting to take on a new project when he received a call from Harris. “Alfred Chan was the last apprentice I had and when he went off to Adelaide I made the decision not to take any more on,” he said. “I’d had plenty over the years and I felt I didn’t really want that responsibility again. “Out of the blue I got a call from Harry who said he had a young fella who had basically run away from Te Akau and would I consider taking him on. “His exact words were that the boy was as good as Michael Walker on his best days and three times as bad on his worst.” Sharrock wasn’t convinced and it took some encouragement from son Kane for him to view a tape of Pinn riding at the trials before he agreed to take him on. “You could see from the video

wouldn’t stand for any nonsense. “In the end I agreed to take him as I’ve always been one to try and give back to the industry and hopefully we can develop Wiremu into an outstanding person both on and off the track.” Pinn is quick to agree that Sharrock is a hard taskmaster but believes he can knuckle down and has accepted the challenge. In that regard he has another Sharrock prodigee to call on for help. “Four years ago I didn’t even know what racing was about and now I have an opportunity to make a great career for myself,” he said. “My parents are really supportive of what I’m doing and Mum sends me a text every day to see how I’m getting on. “I speak with Michael Walker quite regularly and he calls me after my rides to discuss how it went and what I can work on which is a great help.” - NZME

Wiremu Pinn that the boy had natural talent,” he said. “I gave Steve Autridge a call and he basically told me he had any amount of ability but it was what he did off the track that needed some serious attention. “I’m a straight-shooter and I told Wiremu that if he was going to come and work for me that I

In brief

■ OPINION

Hampstead the enigma team S

port is a funny thing. You can go from hero to zero in just the blink of an eye. Just ask Tiger Woods, that’s something he knows all about. But the climb from zero to hero can take a lot longer. That’s also something Woods knows all about, as he attempts to resurrect his golfing career and get back to the type of form that led him to the top of the world. It’s also something the Hampstead Rugby Club knows all about. For the past few years they’ve been at zero. They’ve been firm fixtures in the bottom couple of places in both the combined and local senior rugby competitions. When you’re losing game after game, that can lead to losing player after player. It can be hard to keep players wanting to come back, knowing that it’s more than likely that the next game is going to finish with another big L next to your name.

Just how to turn that around and become a competitive team again has been the question on the minds of all of those involved with Hampstead for the past few years. They’re a club full of passion both on the field and off the field, even when their team isn’t going so well. But could the tide finally be turning this season? With new coaches Shaun Bovey and Craig Dwyer at the helm, Hampstead have slowly built as the season’s gone on and in the last two weeks they have picked up two wins, doubling their record from last season. Yes, those wins were against a couple of their fellow cellar dwellers, but a win is a win and those two games will have done wonders for Hampstead’s psyche. They will have given them belief that they can actually do it. They have a massive monkey sitting on their backs heading into the Watters Cup. Asking around those in the know, and looking through the

Big slide for Aussies Australia have tumbled to a 34year low in the ICC ODI rankings to land in sixth place behind Pakistan. The last time Australia found themselves out of the top five was in January 1984. With defeats to England in the first two ODIs, Australia’s ranking reflects their sudden downturn since defeating Pakistan in 2017. New Zealand is currently fourth with 112 points. - NZME

Watters Cup this year. It’s a funny competition – one where teams seem to find another gear. I think it’s almost anyone’s game, but I don’t think it will be Hampstead’s. That’s likely to be a bridge too far at this point. But, if the blue and golds can win a game or two, or even just get within a few points of their fellow local teams, it will put them in good stead for next season. If they can be competitive in this Watters Cup, it will also be a huge win for Mid Canterbury rugby. Only a few years ago we had six senior teams. Collegiate and Allenton fell by the wayside, with the addition of Rakaia later boosting it back up to five. That’s the way we need it to stay; Hampstead is in fact a very important cog in the machine. The day Mid Canterbury drops down to just four senior teams would be a sad, sad day for Mid Canterbury Rugby.

Erin Tasker SPORTS REPORTER

Guardian’s archives, it looks like it’s nine years since Hampstead last actually won a Watters Cup game. That’s a long time between drinks and Hampstead feel like this could be the year they break that drought. They’ve made the four other local teams take note. Hampstead play Celtic in the first round of the Watters Cup on Saturday and speaking to Celtic coach Shane Enright at the weekend, he said Hampstead are in form; his side isn’t. As a sports reporter it’s important to be unbiased. I have no allegiance to any club, but I also have a tendency to back the underdog. I don’t know who will win the

Catch of the year Matt Henry has taken the catch of the year, displaying his prolific athletic ability to help Kent win their Royal London Cup semi-final this week. The Black Caps seamer danced across the turf stretched out snaring the wicket of Brett D’Oliveira. A cry of “catch” rang out as bowler Joe Denly served up a fulltoss that forced Henry to sprint to his right to catch the ball 15 metres inside the rope at long-on. - NZME

Windies’ Sri Lanka draw Halfway through the test, Sri Lanka didn’t want to go on to the field. At the end, the team didn’t want to leave. The Sri Lankans reluctantly accepted the light wasn’t good enough, which meant drawing with the West Indies in a dramatic second test. The home side spent most of the fifth day in survival mode after being set 296 to win in three sessions. - PA

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

In brief

Kiwis play down difficulties By Daniel Gilhooly The Kiwis have landed in Denver and set about debunking what they say is a myth surrounding the hardship of their test against England. Coach Michael Maguire said his players were “bouncing around” as they checked into their hotel ahead of the clash at Mile High Stadium on Sunday morning. The venue for the mid-season test has drawn ire from NRL clubs and officials and resulted in the selection of a weakened New Zealand team, with several experienced players unavailable for cloudy reasons. However, Maguire is adamant he has named a competitive squad and says player welfare has been a priority from the moment the fixture was announced. Team doctor Greg Macleod has been involved with the Highlanders Super Rugby team for four seasons and says the Denver assignment is remarkably similar to a trip to South Africa, in terms of the travel distance and preparation timings. He noted the 1600m altitude is lower than what they encounter in Johannesburg and similar to other South African cities where Kiwi and Australian rugby teams have honed their preparatory knowledge base for 20 years. “We’re not terribly stressed about the altitude. “It’s probably more of a psychological factor than anything,” Macleod said. “We’ll get it in training. Guys will get a good sense of what it’s like to play at that altitude and that’s the way you can adapt.”

Kalyn Ponga won’t expand on just what coach Kevin Walters has in store for him in Sunday’s State of Origin, but he has promised not to curb his attacking instincts in what will be an unfamiliar role. The Newcastle No.1 will come off the bench in his Queensland debut, with Billy Slater expected to return to fullback after missing the seriesopening loss with a hamstring injury. Ponga laughed off the suggestion he could push his childhood hero to the wing once he’s injected into the game. - AAP

Napa still confident Prop Dylan Napa is confident of overcoming an ankle injury but admits he faces a conundrum before Queensland’s must-win State of Origin game two in Sydney on Sunday. Melbourne’s Tim Glasby is on standby for Napa who must pass a fitness test at the Maroons’ opposed training session at their Gold Coast camp today to play Origin II. Napa desperately wants to play as the Maroons look to stay alive in the series but admits he may have to make way for Glasby for the team’s benefit. - AAP

Hayne wants US test Dallin Watene-Zelezniak is ready for a big game with the Kiwis in Denver this weekend. Macleod said their plans around hydration, illness immunity, eating and sleeping was carefully co-ordinated and available to any NRL clubs that wanted to see it. The next 48 hours will be a gradual easing in process as the players adjust to the time difference and familiar daytime temperatures ranging from 22-28°C. “We’re not guessing. “We’ll know when the guys are ready to get some decent quality intensity training.” Outside back Dallin Watene-

Zelezniak said he began acclimatising with Colorado time from the moment his Penrith Panthers finished their NRL loss to the Sydney Roosters on Friday night. Watene-Zelezniak saw banners promoting the test as they drove from the airport and chuckled when he heard a radio advertisement publicising the clash as “big hits with no pads”. The team have been told a crowd of more than 20,000 is expected at a venue with a capacity of 75,000.

Blues intent on going for the jugular By Matt encarnacion NSW captain Boyd Cordner has one message for his team heading into State of Origin II: go for the kill. Cordner was left in tears after a similar position last year when, in his first series as captain, the Blues won the series-opener and had a 10-point lead in game two before their spectacular choke. He has tried to bury the demons of the defeat, but admits it is critical for this year’s side to heed the lessons of throwing away what was supposed to be the dawn of a new era. “I don’t like thinking back on it to tell you the truth. I tried to bury it, but look, it’s there,” Cordner said. “It happened. You’ve got to take some lessons out of that. “Complacency definitely won’t be an issue. I’m sure that you’ll see 17 guys prepared to go out there on Sunday night and give it their best.” Despite having Queensland on their knees at different stages in game one, Blues coach Brad Fit-

Ponga not fazed

Blues skipper Boyd Cordner is mindful of throwing away a first-game lead in last year’s contest.

tler has already told his squad how they missed opportunities with the ball in Melbourne. And with Queensland now in a must-win situation – as well as the memories of last year haunting Cordner’s head – NSW have been instructed to go for the throat. Last year was just the second time in the past nine years the team that won game one lost the shield.

“The main one for me was when we found ourselves up in the second half, what we done so well as a team at the start of that series, we went away from,” Cordner said of last year’s gametwo. “We tried to hold onto the game instead of going after it. “For me, that’s the biggest lesson. Just keep doing what’s been working and with the team we’ve got now, there’s no doubt we’ll

be doing our best to go after the game no matter where we’re sitting.” With camp just two days old, Cordner insists the signs point to a Blues team ready for the challenge. “Just coming into camp already and knowing the feeling, they’re more hungry than what they were in game one. That’s a good sign with it being a short week as well,” he said. - AAP

Jarryd Hayne has called for a Pacific test to be taken to the United States, arguing it would attract a bigger crowd in his once-adopted home than the clash between England and New Zealand will. Hayne is desperate for Fiji to take a more prominent spot on the international calendar, as he prepares for Saturday’s annual Pacific tests at a packed Campbelltown Sports Stadium with Papua New Guinea, Tonga and Samoa. The matches come on the same weekend as New Zealand and England’s controversial Denver test, with the event’s promoters trying to push the sport in America ahead of their 2025 Rugby League World Cup. - AAP

Comment ‘belittling’ A war of words has broken out between Fox Sports host Yvonne Sampson and New Zealand prop Charlie Gubb’s wife following a nasty incident during the Raiders and Panthers clash. Charlene Gubb took offence to Sampson’s remarks she made following a late tackle on Nathan Cleary that led to the Kiwi’s suspension. Sampson said fans would prefer to watch Nathan Clearys rather than Charlie Gubbs. The comment infuriated Charlene, Gubb’s wife, which she described as “belittling”. “This comment is belittling to imply that non-superstars are insignificant to the NRL which is a workingclass game.” Many fans from New Zealand and Australia threw their support behind the Gubbs, saying the game of league is built around the hard-working forwards. - AAP

Milford eyes fullback Brisbane star Anthony Milford has declared himself open to moving to fullback for Samoa in Saturday’s Pacific test against Tonga. Milford spent time at fullback during the side’s training run in Sydney yesterday. Toa Samoa don’t have a clear No.1 in their 19-man squad while they are well placed for halves with Milford, the Warriors’ Mason Lino, Penrith’s Tyrone May and Wests Tigers’ Pita Godinet. - AP

THE

Harry Kane this so far: Uruguay 1 (injury time) Egypt 0; Iran 1 (late own goal) Morocco 0; Croatia 2 Nigeria 0; England 2 (winner in injury time) Tunisia 0. So far there have been 32 goals scored in 14 matches. That’s an acceptable rate and remember there’s yet to be a goalless game. But there have been some close shaves on that score. Good to see another penalty converted too, by Tunisia’s Ferjani Sassi. So far the count is eight penalties awarded; six scored, two missed, by Lionel Messi and that Peruvian bloke who flogged his shot way over the Danish bar. How costly will that come to be. Speaking of which, got a favourite goal yet or keeping the powder dry? On which topic, here’s a question: which type of goal do you fancy above the rest – a long range belter, a clinical set piece, a crisp header,

a runaway one-on-keeper? The answer, as any self respecting player will attest, is that it doesn’t matter, as long as it ends up in the net. However time to stick the neck out. There have been some fabulous strikes already – Coutinho for Brazil against the Swiss, Dries Mertens to get Belgium on the board against Panama for a start – but you’ll go far to see a cleaner, more blistering shot than that of Nacho for Spain in that bonzer 3-3 joust with Portugal. No keeper would have stopped that, power, timing, accuracy, in off a post. Brilliant. Who has been the most disappointing team on show so far? You need a scale of sorts here. Clearly Panama and Saudi Arabia aren’t going to shake any trees at the cup. Of the serious contenders, I would plump for Argentina and Brazil. You get a hunch if Messi isn’t going to pull out a big tournament, they won’t figure. Brazil may be fragile too, if they haven’t shaken off their semi-final bouncing by the Germans four years ago. Germany will come right – although suddenly their clash with the Swedes on June 23 shapes as seriously significant. Remember, if Germany come second in their group they’ll most likely face…..Brazil in the last 16. Tasty. - NZME

SITUATIONS VACANT

Kane England’s hero A couple of minutes from the end of England’s opener against Tunisia and the tired old rallying cry of England Expects came to mind – as in England Expects to stuff up a World Cup match against a lightweight. There is previous for that of course. And then Harry Kane settled the nerves of the faithful. A text from a colleague in the 92nd minute, parked up at a Auckland hostelry with a crowd of England supporters, went like this: ‘’Mood?’’ ‘’Weary resignation….joy!’’ About 20 years ago there was a widely expounded belief that it wouldn’t be long before an African nation would lift the trophy. Come back in another 20 years I’d say. Kane is a class act, England’s youngest captain at 24, and he gets goals and there’s no greater commodity in the game than that. Even so there was no excuse for the commentator to celebrate the winner with this tosh: ‘’Where would St George be without him!’’ On the basis of today’s performance, if I’m fancying a strong run to the sharp end of the tournament, I wouldn’t be fretting over facing England. Chances were squandered, the defence had an occasional tendency, even against an attack as weak as the Tunisians, to get in a muddle. This has been a grim start to the tournament for Africa.

Ashburton Guardian

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): This is a balancing act between openness and vigilance. As it is with tightrope walkers, special tools (e.g., the right shoes and a flexible horizontal rod) can help you maintain equilibrium. Seek helpful accoutrements. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You may hardly notice when loved ones and acquaintances seem incurious about you. While there’s no ill intent in such an error, it really is an error. You deserve and need attention. Go where it flows toward you. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): It’s a strange dance, the dance of intimacy. In the beginning, you’re not sure how much you want to know and be known: This is the stage to savour. Familiarity will change everything. Why rush it? CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): What you give to one person you’ll get back from another, seemingly unrelated source. Some call this coincidence; others would call it karma. Whatever you call it, it’s a cycle that will continue. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Feeling important isn’t the same as being important. In fact, those who really are essential to the outcome of any given equation are rarely overly aware of their position, they are too busy doing the work. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You don’t need others to admire you in order to feel good about yourself, and yet, it’s nice, isn’t it? You get a slice of admiration today, and it certainly doesn’t hurt. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Consider that your selfimposed limits might be far more stringent than the rules of the game or of society, and they may also be stricter than would allow you to develop to your full potential. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): It’s the little things that matter to others that you can gladly supply. Those will be the wins of the day. Even just remembering and addressing people by their names: It will make a difference. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Humans learn at an early age that sadness elicits comfort-giving. Ideally, the baby’s cry brings a parent’s attention. Hopefully, you won’t be sad today, but if you are, provide your own comfort. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Be wary of words or actions meant to show one person’s superiority, uniqueness and specialness. Solutions rarely venerate one person, and solutions will make the world a little better today. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The parenting concept of “planned ignoring” speaks to the efficacy of diverting focus from unwanted outcomes so they lose power without attention to fuel them. It’s an effective tactic for many situations. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’re throwing a form of tantrum right now – a silent, internal and complex rebellion against something you’ve requested of yourself. The childlike part of you will make some good points!

Sport ASHCOLL TAKES THE HONOURS

Ashburton College’s Tegan McIntyre looks to keep control of the ball during her side’s hockey game against Burnside High School yesterday. PHOTO ERIN TASKER 190618-ET-0017

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton College just edged ahead of Christchurch’s Burnside High School to claim overall honours in an annual sporting fixture between the two schools in Ashburton yesterday. The home side took seven wins to Burnside’s five to claim victory, but not all sports were able to be played. Recent rain leading to sodden grounds meant that rugby and football were called off due to the ground conditions.

Inside at the EA Networks Centre stadium, it was Ashburton College’s day, taking out the day’s sole basketball game and three of the four netball clashes. Ashburton College’s junior boys’ basketballers had a massive win, 113-43, while the senior A netballers were also in top form, winning 45-18. It was much closer in the other netball matches though, with the Ashburton College senior B team winning 32-21 and their Year 9A side winning 25-18. The game between the two schools’ Year

10A sides went the way of the visitors 2621. At the Ashburton hockey turf it was Burnside who really dominated, with their girls’ first XI winning 8-0 and their boys’ first XI winning 7-0. Burnside’s A team also won their chess match against Ashburton College’s A team 13-3, but Ashburton College’s B chess team made sure the visitors didn’t have it all their own way, winning their match. Ashburton College also won the golf at the Ashburton Golf Club, and the air pistol

shooting at the Ashburton Pistol Club, 931924. The squash was also won by Ashburton College, 4-2. Ashburton College sports co-ordinator Deb Kell said the teams represented their schools with pride and passion. She said the sporting fixtures were always fiercely contested. Ashburton College won this year, but Burnside came out on top last year 12-6. Next year the annual sports fixture will be held at Burnside High School.

‘Bullying, intimidation and a culture of fear’ Football Ferns coach Andreas Heraf could be suspended from his role, with New Zealand Football planning to launch an official investigation into his conduct and behaviour. In a full-blown rebellion revealed by the NZ Herald yesterday, at least 10 players have submitted formal letters of complaint about Heraf. The nature of the complaints are strictly

confidential, but they are believed to include claims around bullying, intimidation and a culture of fear. The squad includes a number of young female athletes, including some teenagers. These letters have been collated by the New Zealand Professional Footballers Association (NZPFA), and sent on to NZF. NZF issued a public response yesterday, confirming the receipt of the letters and

Force ‘will test the Crusaders’ P14

that there will be a press conference today. The Herald understands that an inquiry will be announced. It is not known what the terms of reference will be and how wide the inquiry will go into recent events. Heraf’s likely suspension is standard practice in such employment investigations, especially considering the nature of the allegations. Whether this would apply to both his role

coaching the Ferns and as NZF’s technical director, is yet to be seen. The players’ claims relate to incidents on the Ferns tour to Spain in March, as well as the team’s camp in Wellington leading up to the match against Japan earlier this month. All the complainants, as well as other squad members, have told NZF they will not be available to represent the Ferns under Heraf, it is understood. - NZME
