Lake Opuha is operating at a fraction of its usual level. “It’s usually around winter that we need the lake to fill up, and so far the weather just hasn’t provided it,” Webb said. “Like everyone else, we want the lake to be full, but if we get a dry winter we’re really going to be in trouble.” JOHN BISSET/Stuff Last month, the Government declared the South Canterbury region to be in drought. Webb said the dam was providing an additional 70 per cent of flow into the Opihi River,...

0 of 9 Former Georgia CB Tyrique StevensonMichael Woods/Associated Press The 2021 college football season will go down in history as the Year of the Transfer. Because the 2020-21 academic year did not count against anyones eligibility clock and because the NCAA finally approved the one-time free transfer proposal (undergraduates arent required to sit out for a year if its their first time transferring), transfers are taking place en masse. The vast majority of those transfers will be either inc...

My friend John Stooke asks whether, being fully vaccinated, he is protected or not (SA, May 7). Im afraid the answer can never be that simple. Vaccination protects over 90 per cent of people, but 100 per cent efficacy can never be achieved.

AFC West Draft impressions I will start with the hated Raiders. Pick 17, Alex Leatherwood, OT Alabama - I like Leatherwood, however, I dont think he is an elite tackle, I think they could of really found someone special at 17. I think Leatherwood will likely be a nice pro player, but is never going to be an elite player. They have him projected at RT and I honestly think Teven Jenkins was a far better RT prospect than Leatherwood. I also believe the Raiders could of easily gotten Leatherwood...
