Armed Police swarmed a Tinwald address on Monday afternoon, believed to be in relation to the ongoing homicide investigation following the death of a 23-year-old man in Netherby on Friday evening.

Police were unable to clarify late on Monday evening why the armed officers were in Tinwald, or if any arrests had been made.

People watched on from street corners as Police spoke with a number of people in George Glassey Park, some wearing Black Power patches.

One person said Police had blocked the area off and were not letting anyone through for a pe-riod of time before allowing peo-ple to move through again.

Once the majority of Police had left, a number of detectives and an armed guard remained at

the scene.The homicide investigation

was launched after a man, be-lieved to be Peter Hemi, was crit-ically injured near the corner of McDonald and Princes Streets in Netherby.

He died a short time later.Some of those present on Ag-

nes Street were also seen at the crime scene on Saturday morn-ing watching as Police carried out their forensics work and as

the body was removed.A McDonald Street resident,

who asked not to be named, said he and his partner had not heard any disturbance on Friday evening, but woke on Saturday morning to news of a homicide investigation being launched and being unable to leave his property due to the Police cor-dons.

“We couldn’t really get out for a few days but the cops were

good,” he said.The property was the scene of

another homicide in 2016, where Tainui James Wano was stabbed by his brother Jayden Shane Al-exander with a boning knife.

Charges dealt with by AVLA homicide investigation into the death of a 23-year-old man in Ashburton on Friday night had re-percussions for a defendant in the Ashburton District Court yester-day.

Jessie Hemi was to have ap-peared via audio-visual link before Judge Joanna Maze, who was in the Timaru District Court.

A charge of theft was to have been amended to wilful damage and another charge withdrawn, but Hemi did not appear.

The case was remanded to De-cember 16.

Defence counsel April Kelland said Hemi was a cousin of the hom-icide victim but she had not been

able to contact her yesterday, un-derstandable in the circumstances.

Judge Maze said the charges could only be amended in Hemi’s presence.

She noted a guilty plea had been indicated and remanded her on bail to December 16.

It was the second time the Ash-burton court has used technology to link a judge, lawyers and a de-fendant.

A large screen in the Ashburton courtroom yesterday showed four scenes from the Timaru court, in-cluding Judge Maze at the bench.

The Timaru court was able to see Kelland and Ashburton court staff and deal with the case in real time.

Armistice Day rememberedBy Jaime [email protected]

At the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month, a group of around 40 people gathered at the Ashburton Cenotaph to com-memorate the 100 years since the first time Armistice Day was recognised.

This year marks a century since the first Armistice Day ser-vice was held in 1919; it is ob-served at 11am every November 11 to mark the moment the guns fell silent on the western front during World War One.

“One hundred and one years ago today the guns fell silent and war ended in what for most was a time of huge relief, a time to cel-ebrate the knowledge that loved ones would be returning home,” Ashburton RSA president Merv Brenton said at the service.

“But as history tells us that didn’t and still hasn’t happened, today we need to reflect on the effects of wars, how it effects on so many lives, their families and the knowledge that success in war always delivers casual-ties and hidden costs, many left with physical scars, many with hidden mental scars … towns, countries also destroyed as a re-sult of war are able to be rebuilt, covering evidence of war.

“We can’t live in the past, that’s

gone, but we can learn from the past and their mistakes, the ef-fects and the need to protect what we believe is rightfully ours. We can do it in a diplomat-ic, non-confrontational manner, by getting on with neighbours, by treating people and property with respect, what we have now came and continues to come at a huge cost, something we don’t want to go through again and again, and something that ap-pears on the surface to be forgot-ten by many.”

Brenton said it was important to acknowledge and to continue to acknowledge the sacrifice of those that had fought in World War One as without their ser-vice, the world would not be the same.

Ashburton deputy mayor Liz McMillan also spoke at the ser-vice, while the Ashburton Cadet Unit attended and John Lischner filled the important role of play-ing the bugle.

McMillan said it was an hon-our to be a part of the commem-oration.

“It is a time to remember those whose sacrifice is recorded on war memorials, and whose memory lives on in family histo-ries. It will be a time to remem-ber how our communities sup-ported the war effort with acts of

human kindness,” she said.“Although the generation

which lived through the first World War is no longer with us,

their legacy will endure in the memory of their children and the generations that followed. We honour and remember the

sacrifices of our forebears, and we commit to a world where peace, wellbeing and security can be shared by all.”

McDonald Street developmentFrom P1The nearby resident said those

had been two isolated incidents with two separate families and that for the majority of the time the street did not experience any issues.

“We have had no issues with any neighbours, no issues at all,” he said.

The homicide is the second in less than three months after dairy farm worker Tony Grant Waldron was killed near Rakaia.

Waldron, who was aged 29 at the time of his death and a father of two, was found dead in his bed by a work colleague on the morning of September 18 after

he had failed to turn up for work.He had texted a colleague

about 9pm the evening before to say that he was going to get some bourbons.

Initial reports suggested the dairy farm worker had died as a result of a gunshot wound how-ever Police would later rule this out as a cause of death.

The Police investigation, which was led by Detective Senior Sergeant Richard Quest-ed, saw officers and specialists search teams scouring effluent and irrigation ponds near to the Gardiners Road address and also spending considerable time completing searches in both the Rakaia and Selwyn River beds.

100 years of working for womenAn Ashburton Hospital midwife who has helped improve child-birth survival rates for mothers and babies in Mongolia was one of 100 special women honoured by Zonta at the weekend.

Julie Dockrill, charge midwife-ry manager at the hospital, led a small team of midwives to Mon-golia in 2013 to train 300 maternal health workers over six weeks.

She also wrote an education manual that has been translated and adopted for use around the country, which is bordered by Chi-na and Russia.

In three years, infant mortality has dropped 66 per cent and the number of mothers dying in child-birth reduced a staggering 70 per cent.

The death rate for babies in their first month of life had previously been 14 times higher than the de-veloped world, and the mortality rate for mothers six times higher.

Dockrill was nominated by the Ashburton Zonta Club to be one of 100 women of achievement rec-ognised nationally in the organi-sation’s centennial year.

She also joins locals former Prime Minister Jenny Shipley and Sandra Curd, who received wom-en of achievement awards in 2016.

The midwife’s work has also been recognised by the Mongo-lian government, which has made childbirth education compulso-ry for all expectant mothers and

granted a lifetime open passport to Dockrill to visit.

Ashburton Zonta members met on Saturday morning for a centen-nial breakfast to present Dockrill with her women of achievement certificate and medal. The club

also presented a club centennial champion award to member Anne Maree Leech, for her commitment and service to Netball NZ. Leech has been involved in netball since 1970 as a player and umpire.

She was a member of the Can-

terbury netball umpire and bench officials group, a centre umpire examiner and regional umpire examiner before moving on to be-coming Netball NZ umpire panel tester.

She has been awarded a Netball

NZ service award, life member-ship of the Ashburton Netball As-sociation and Ashburton Netball Umpires’ Association. She contin-ues to coach and assess umpires in her role as a New Zealand um-pire coach assessor.

The club also presented a cen-tennial champion community award to Mid/South Island Wom-en’s Refuge and Family Safety Ser-vices to recognise the contribu-tion they have made to women of the district affected by domestic violence.

Ashburton Zonta president Ju-dith Early said the club was de-lighted to present all three awards to women who had given much assistance towards empowering other women.

Zonta began 100 years ago in Buffalo, New York and works to empower the lives of women and girls globally.

The organisation works on ed-ucation and political representa-tion, as well as tackling issues of equity, gender violence and ad-vancing the economic status of women.

The Ashburton club started in 1994 and has been advocating for women ever since. It is one of 30 clubs in the country.

Following the centennial break-fast at Cleaver’s Corner on Satur-day, club members planted a com-memorative Zonta rose at Trott’s Gardens.

The National Party has named former reporter and political adviser Nicola Grigg as its candi-date for Selwyn in the 2020 Gen-eral Election.

The 39-year-old born-and- bred Mid Cantabrian was se-lected ahead of two other candi-dates – Simon Flood and Selwyn councillor Craig Watson.

Chosen on Sunday by local party delegates at a meeting in West Melton, Grigg is replacing retiring MP Amy Adams, who is standing down after four terms.

Selwyn is considered the saf-est electorate in the country,

with Adams having the highest majority nationwide.

It is one of several National

safe seats with high-powered se-lection races ahead of next year’s election.

Grigg is a portfolio manager at New Zealand Trade and En-terprise, the Government’s eco-nomic development agency.

She manages the business development of a wide range of Canterbury-based exporters, mostly in the agri, agritech and manufacturing sectors.

Born and raised on the fam-ily sheep and beef farm at Mt Somers, Grigg attended the New Zealand Broadcasting School and was a journalist for New-stalk ZB and Radio New Zealand.

She went into politics and was

a press secretary for both cur-rent leader Simon Bridges, and Sir Bill English during his ten-ure as Minister of Finance and Prime Minister.

In 2011 she was in a relation-ship with former All Black cap-tain Richie McCaw.

Grigg said in a statement she was “truly honoured” to run in her home electorate.

“I’m looking forward to hitting the campaign trail and making sure Selwyn keeps strong Na-tional representation, in a Si-mon Bridges-led Government,” she said.

Grigg and her compatriot on this side of the Rakaia River,

Andrew Falloon, may need to go through another selection if electorate boundaries change prior to the next election.

The National Party requires a whole new selection process if the change in constituency reaches a certain threshold.

The proposed boundaries for the next two elections will be released by the Representation Commission for public com-ment on Wednesday next week.

Canterbury’s population growth could see the Rangita-ta electorate boundary pushed out to the Rakaia River, restoring Mid Canterbury to one elector-ate.

Christmas cheer for hospiceBy Linda [email protected]

A heart-felt Christmas gesture between friends six years ago has become a full-blown seasonal extravaganza.

When Kate Murney wasn’t so well six years ago, Barbara Red-mond erected a Christmas tree in the foyer of her Park Street home to help boost the family’s Christ-mas cheer.

Ever since then, Boss Lady Bar-bara (as she is now affectionately known) has been back to help the Murneys decorate their spa-cious and beautiful home.

This year, there are 10 trees, a host of large and small Christmas figurines, dozens of decorations, baubles, candles and twinkling lights.

And the Murneys are spread-ing the joy even further, by open-ing up their home as a fundraiser for Hospice Mid Canterbury on December 1.

The Park Street house is one of seven homes that are part of

a Christmas Experience; tick-et-holders visit all seven beauti-fully-decorated homes and also take part in an exclusive Christ-mas market at the Ashburton Ar-cade.

There will be bubbles, goodie bags and spot prizes.

Organisers have limited the event to just 250 people and more than half the tickets have sold al-ready. All seven homes have their own special character, though the householders are united in their passion for Christmas.

Kate Murney said her friend’s gesture six years ago was much appreciated and had created a special bond that turned her home into a Christmas wonder-land for at least six weeks. She enjoys sharing it with her own family, friends and special visi-tors.

The decorations, including a huge 5-metre tree in the foyer of the two-storeyed home, are packed away in cartons every January – they take up half the

space of a two-car garage.People visiting the Murneys’

house next month are in for a treat.

Kate and Barbara have spent hours creating the Christmas vibe, which begins in the foy-er where Santa himself will be resident on the day to welcome guests.

Up a marble staircase, the scene spills out into formal, fam-ily and private living space.

The trees are elegantly dressed and Barbara said a long ladder was needed in the foyer to reach the tallest branches. It is secured to the railing just in case Tedward the black cat develops a thought to scale to the top.

The family pets – Tedward, plus dogs Evie and Stanley, and another cat Betty – are usual-ly on their best behaviour over Christmas and Kate said few dec-orations had been lost to their curiosity.

She said she hoped her house would be a happy place for visi-

tors on December 1 and inspire some to add to their own Christ-mas passions.

As well as the visual cheer, there will be live jazz music on the balcony.

Barbara said the newest tree in the house this year was a white tree, with subtle pink decora-tions, that featured in Kate’s re-treat room. She said she was al-ways on the lookout for special decorations when sales rep visit-ed her business, the China Shop.

She said Hospice Mid Can-terbury was grateful to all seven home-owners who had offered up their own special Christmas experience. The event aims to raise $20,000 and has been well supported by sponsors.

Tickets for the Christmas Ex-perience are $75 and available from the China Shop and Smith and Church. They get a map on the day and can visit the homes between 10am and 3pm; total driving time is about 35 minutes, with one home at Lake Hood.

In briefBankside crashA pair killed when their car crossed the centreline on State Highway 1 at Bankside had only recently arrived in the country. The two women were heading south in a rental car when they allegedly veered into the path of an oncoming truck. The truck then left the road, ploughed through a fence and tipped up on nearby railway tracks. Seven other people were injured in the crash. - NZME

Millane murder trialThe man accused of murdering Grace Millane had previously discussed “rough sex”, including strangulation, with other women he had matched with on Tinder, the court heard yesterday. The second week of the trial for the man accused of Millane’s murder is under way. A 27-year-old man, who has interim name suppression, is charged with murdering Millane in December last year as she was travelling the world as part of a year-long solo OE. - NZME

Swab left inside patientA surgeon and a medical centre who accidentally left a gauze swab inside a woman after her surgery have been found in breach of the Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers’ Rights. The patient, a 51-year-old woman, had surgery to treat fibroids and a 3cm cyst in her uterus. In a report released yesterday, Health and Disability Commissioner Anthony Hill found the theatre nurses did not complete the initial count check of swabs and sharps used before the operation began in 2017. - NZME

Death life-changingA Taranaki couple have told the man responsible for a crash that killed their young daughter how he’d robbed them “of every minute” they were meant to spend with her. At about 6am on August 28 last year, 18-year-old Olivia Keightley-Trigg was heading home to Waitara after dropping friends off at New Plymouth airport. Coming the other way was Kevin Ronald Bishell, whose ute slammed into Keightley’s car after crossing the double yellow centrelines. Olivia died at the scene. Yesterday in New Plymouth District Court, Bishell appeared for sentencing after pleading guilty to dangerous driving causing death and refusing a request for a blood sample. - NZME

Group walk highlights breathing problemsThe popular walking track around Argyle Park will be the scene of a special event on November 20 aimed at increasing aware-ness of chronic obstructive pulmonary dis-ease (COPD).

People who suffer from the disease have trouble breathing and COPD is an umbrella term for serious illnesses like chronic asth-ma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

Members of an Ashburton support group called O2Go will meet at Argyle Park at 10am on November 20 and are inviting others to join them.

Walking around the park on a sealed track will be a challenge for some.

Spokesperson Bruce Leath said the group

met weekly on a Wednesday at the Seniors Centre for an exercise class and always wel-comed new people.

The walk on November 20 marks World Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Day and he is hoping 15 members of the group will be able to manage it.

COPD affects about one in seven New Zealanders aged over 40 years and is the fourth leading cause of premature death, illness or impairment.

Diagnosis can be challenging but major risk factors include smoking, occupational exposure and childhood asthma. Symptoms include chest tightness, wheezing and air-way irritability.

Charity and family fun were the big winners at the inaugural Ruralco Meridian Top Farm at the Ashburton A&P Showgrounds on Sat-urday.

The winning team of Enda and Sarah Hawe, Jason Palmer and Andrew Living-ston took out the Top Farm title, and chose Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue as the beneficiary of their $1000 prize for a Canter-bury-based charity.

Ruralco and Meridian modelled the event on the 1970s and 1980s Top Town television show, meaning teamwork, physical and mental skills, planning, and a bit of luck were required.

It was free to enter, however one of the

team members needed to be a Ruralco card-holder. There was also a $50 Ruralco and $50 Meridian Energy voucher for each player in the winning team.

With youth and agility on their side, the kids’ team featuring Niamh Hawe, Kayleigh Hawe, Isobel Wall and Riley Wall came sec-ond, beating third-place getters Jules Kupfer, Jess Pitt, Harry Whitwell and Warren Harris.

The company co-ordinating the day con-tributed five special gifts on behalf of Rural-co via the Global Giving Initiative Buy1Give1.

Ruralco energy account manager Tracey Gordon said the event had been a great way to celebrate and support the rural commu-nity.

Kondo bends the rulesNot even Marie Kondo can follow all her rules for tidying all the time. “Of course, when things get very busy, I need to let go of some of my standards and methods, and I think that’s a completely natural thing,” the decluttering guru, Netflix reality star and mother of two said. The soft-spoken Kondo was tight-lipped on exactly what she lets slide, besides leaving her house slippers in the middle of the floor occasionally, but one thing’s for sure: When it comes to Kondo, the emphasis is on busy these days. Kondo and the first season of her Netflix series, Tidying Up with Marie Kondo, were nominated for two Emmys this year.

No Kiss for AucklandKiss have cancelled next month’s Auck-land show with guitarist Paul Stanley too ill to begin the Australasian leg of their End of the Road tour. The legendary rockers were due to leave the US today to kick off their tour in Perth on Saturday, but with Stanley battling influenza the group have made changes to their tour schedule. Kiss were set to farewell their Kiwi fans with a show at Spark Arena on December 3, however the concert cannot be rescheduled and has been cancelled.

Veronicas target Ruby RoseThe Veronicas’ reality show has kicked off with a bang, with the twin sisters discussing in-depth their fallout with Australian actress, Ruby Rose. Rose, who is among Hollywood’s A-list, dated Jess Origliasso from 2016 before the pair abruptly called it quits in early 2018. During that time, Jess cut ties with her twin sister, Lisa, in a highly publicised feud that rocked one of Australia’s most popular music acts. In the first episode of their MTV show, Blood is for Life, Jess said she didn’t speak to Lisa for an entire year, while also revealing the toll the relationship took on her.

Australia’s most populous state declared a fire emergen-cy yesterday with worsening conditions expected after wildfires have already claimed three lives and more than 150 homes.

New South Wales state Emer-gency Services Minister David Elliott said residents were fac-ing what “could be the most dangerous bushfire week this nation has ever seen”.

Fires in the state’s northeast have razed more than 850,000

hectares (3300 square miles) of forest and farmland since Fri-day.

Fire conditions are forecast to be worse today than they were at the peak of the current fire emergency on Friday.

“The catastrophic weather conditions mean that things can change very quickly,” Pre-mier Gladys Berejiklian told reporters in Sydney.

“You might think you’re OK and a few minutes later you won’t be.

“Please heed all the messag-es you receive.

“Tomorrow (Tuesday) is not the day to be complacent,” she added.

Catastrophic fire danger has been declared for Sydney and the Hunter Valley region to the north today with severe and extreme danger across vast parts of the rest of the state.

“Catastrophic is off the con-ventional scale,” Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons said.

The week-long declaration of a state of emergency gives the Rural Fire Service sweep-ing powers to direct any gov-

ernment agency to conduct or refrain from conducting any of its functions.

It can order the immediate shutdown of essential utilities including gas and electrici-ty in fire-declared areas and can close roads and take pos-session of any property in the course of an emergency re-sponse.

The annual Australian fire season, which peaks during the Southern Hemisphere summer, has started early af-ter an unusually warm and dry winter.

Fires ‘catastrophic’

Porsche crashes - into the second floorAP

Police say that a convertible trav-elling at high speed went airborne and crashed into the second floor of a New Jersey commercial build-ing, killing both of the car’s occu-pants.

Toms River police say the red Porsche Boxster went out of con-trol just after 6.30am Sunday.

The car hit the centre median, struck an embankment and went airborne into the building.

Shocking photos from the crash

scene show a gaping hole in the second storey of the brick build-ing.

Skid marks were visible across the four lanes of the road leading up to the building.

Police said two Toms River men, 22-year-old Braden DeMartin and 23-year-old Daniel Foley, were de-ceased when emergency respond-ers arrived at the scene.

Police said the structure, which was unoccupied at the time, had been deemed unsafe by a building inspector. The Porsche is lifted out of the building.


Opinion

Political, farming passions to collideOUR VIEW

TODAY IN HISTORY

People living in Dorie and Rakaia should be brought back in from the cold when

proposed new electorate bounda-ries are made public next week.

New boundaries, based on pop-ulation, sliced off northern parts of Mid Canterbury in 2014 with communities from Highbank to Chertsey and Dorie becoming part of the Selwyn electorate.

In doing so, the Representation Commission effectively disen-gaged a chunk of voters who are part of Mid Canterbury in every other regard. It just didn’t make sense to separate our communi-ties of interest.

Thanks to population growth, that Selwyn electorate now has too many people and boundary changes are likely again, this time

to bring our northern-most com-munities back into the fold.

While Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon and Selwyn MP Amy Adams operated an open-door policy for all their constituents, there’s nothing like the comfort of talking to someone who is a familiar and more local face. No criticism of Adams, she’s been stellar, but it makes more sense to have Mid Canterbury all together.

The new boundaries will apply

for the 2020 and 2023 elections and there will be the usual feed-back period and the hearing of objections if needed, and a final decision by April 20.

Selwyn’s new National candi-date Nicola Grigg will most likely fill Adams’ shoes in a seat that’s been blue for decades. She has Mid Canterbury roots and grew up at Mt Somers.

She worked as a journalist be-fore moving into politics, working for Bill English and Simon Bridg-es. She currently works at New Zealand Trade and Enterprise and also once dated former All Black Richie McCaw.

Politicians on all sides of the house will have a visit from people representing rural New Zealand on Thursday when a

peaceful march organised by 50 Shades of Green finishes up at the Beehive.

Amongst the marchers will be several Mid Canterbury families and local Federated Farmers lead-ers David Clark and Chris Ford.

They will be wearing green, to represent rural New Zealand, and Clark is encouraging every-one who wants to show support for rural New Zealand to do the same.

Clark says he has had a gutsful of rural New Zealand being beat-en up by Government policies and wrongly blamed for being the main aggravator of climate change.

All this, he says, while overseas speculators are buying sheep and beef hill country farms so they

can grow pine trees and make money on the carbon market.

Canterbury foothills farms are vulnerable, while foothills farms in South Otago have already been sold.

Clark’s phone has rung hot since appearing on television’s Sunday show recently to talk about how current proposed policies will impact farming. He is among a new group of farmers who have taken up the challenge to speak up for and on behalf of farmers. He has been extremely busy, and well-received.

He will take a day off the farm on Thursday to travel hundreds of kilometres to show support for the people and the land he cares for. This is what political passion looks like.

Today is Tuesday, Novem-ber 12, the 316th day of 2019. There are 49 days left in the

year.

Today’s highlight in history:On November 12, 2001, American

Airlines Flight 587, an Airbus A300 headed to the Dominican Republic, crashed after takeoff from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, killing all 260 people on board and five people on the ground.

On this date:In 1912, a striking worker was fatally

wounded at Waihī. Fred Evans was badly injured in the Bay of Plenty goldmining town of Waihī. He died the next day.

In 1927, Josef Stalin became the undisputed ruler of the Soviet Union as Leon Trotsky was expelled from the Communist Party.

In 1936, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge opened as President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a telegraph key in Washington, DC, giving the green light to traffic.

In 1942, the World War Two naval Battle of Guadalcanal began. (The Allies ended up winning a major victory over Japanese forces.)

In 1948, former Japanese premier Hideki Tojo and several other World War Two Japanese leaders were sentenced to death by a war crimes tribunal.

In 1977, the city of New Orleans elected its first black mayor, Ernest “Dutch” Morial, the winner of a run-off.

In 1982, Yuri V. Andropov was elected to succeed the late Leonid I. Brezhnev as general secretary of the Soviet Communist Party’s Central Committee.

In 1987, the American Medical Association issued a policy statement saying it was unethical for a doctor to refuse to treat someone solely because that person had Aids or was HIV-positive.

In 1990, Japanese Emperor Akihito formally assumed the Chrysanthemum Throne. Actress

Eve Arden died in Beverly Hills, California, at age 82.

In 1996, a Saudi Boeing 747 jetliner collided shortly after takeoff from New Delhi, India, with a Kazak Ilyushin-76 cargo plane, killing 349 people.

In 1998, Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley filed a $433 million-dollar lawsuit against the firearms industry, declaring that it had created a public nuisance by flooding the streets with weapons deliberately marketed to criminals. (A judge dismissed the lawsuit in 2000; an appeals court ruled in 2002 that the city of Chicago could proceed; but the Illinois Supreme Court dismissed

the lawsuit in 2004.)Ten years ago: Army psychiatrist

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder in the Fort Hood, Texas, shooting rampage. (Hasan was later convicted and sentenced to death.)

Five years ago: Landing with a bounce after travelling four billion miles, a European Space Agency probe, Philae, made history by successfully reaching the icy, dusty surface of a speeding comet.

One year ago: Palestinian militants bombarded Israel with dozens of rockets and mortar shells while Israeli warplanes struck targets

throughout the Gaza Strip in what appeared to be the most intense exchange of fire since a 2014 war. Stan Lee, the Marvel Comics writer and publisher who revolutionised the comic book and developed superhero characters that made billions for Hollywood, died at the age of 95.

Today’s birthdays: Singer-songwriter Neil Young is 74. Rock musician Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser is 72. Country/gospel singer Barbara Fairchild is 69. Actress Megan Mullally is 61. Actor Vincent Irizarry is 60. Olympic gold medal gymnast Nadia Comaneci is 58. Actor Sam Lloyd is 56. Rock musician

David Ellefson is 55. Figure skater Tonya Harding is 49. Actress Rebecca Wisocky is 48. Actress Radha Mitchell is 46. Actress Lourdes Benedicto is 45. Actress Tamala Jones is 45. Actress Angela Watson is 45. Singer Tevin Campbell is 43. Actress Ashley Williams is 41. Actress Cote de Pablo is 40. Actor Ryan Gosling is 39. Actress Anne Hathaway is 37. Pop singer Omarion is 35. Folk-rock musician Griffin Goldsmith (Dawes) is 29. Actress Macey Cruthird is 27.

I was at another of the seem-ingly endless number of meetings I get roped into

when the chairperson ended the gathering with a really inspiring message.

Bill I hope you don’t mind but I am going to expand on your message that “If you want to be first, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

It’s a sentiment that’s spot on for the current government determination to ram through as quickly as possible a vast array of legislation.

It is a little ironic that for the first 18-24 months of their term, the coalition has spent most of its available time and money reviewing almost everything, ex-cept the colour of my underwear.

Now, with the current term fast running out, the government realises it needs to get actual runs on the board before the next election.

Hence the enormous volume and rush to get this tsunami of legislation (Carbon Zero Bill and

freshwater policy being the most contentious) into place.

The fact that this regulation and legislation as it is currently written is likely to permanently handicap regional New Zealand, which appears to be a small and basically insignificant fact for some MPs.

So back to the inspiring mes-sage ... Obviously the current government is content with the “if you want to be first, go alone” bit. The really disappointing point about all this, is that if the second part of the message was used – “ if you want to go far, go together” – it is much more likely to get better results, and actually achieve some of the desired goals.

I am the first to say the aims of this legislation are worthy, and all those involved in the agricul-tural sector would agree – but not at the cost of everything else.

If the government and the ag-ricultural sector worked together I believe that we would go a long way to achieving water quality outcomes, reduced emissions and all the rest of it, but not at the cost of sending hundreds of farmers bankrupt.

An example of Team Ag working together and with the government is the agricultural industry accepting the respon-sibility – and a deadline – for developing a mechanism to ac-count for carbon emissions at a farm level. Farming groups put aside their individual views and took a united approach.

Combined with the willingness of central government to work-ing with the sector with agreed actions and timelines, we’re on track for better outcomes and incentives for behaviour change by the slower adopters.

It really is a shame there are not more examples of this type of approach.

Team Ag wasn’t as united on the Essential Freshwater proposals. If we had been of one voice, ‘going together to go far’, three things would likely have happened. The government would have had a real mandate and steer from the sector that generates a massive 60 per cent of export revenues. Secondly, the sector as a whole would have likely achieved better overall outcomes. Thirdly, and most im-portantly, the overall outcomes would likely be as good, if not better, without costing an arm and a leg.

Reputation is gold say a Mid Can-terbury dairying couple who are already reaping the rewards of be-ing judged top business operators.

Brent and Rebecca Miller, of River Terrace Dairy at Carew, were joint runners-up in the 2019 Dairy Business of the Year (DBOY) and judged the best Canterbury farm, with their low-cost, high-produc-tion performance.

The Millers, who are lower-or-der sharemilkers, were first time entrants.

The farm, owned by Andrew and Rachele Morris, was this sea-son milking 1150 cows on 318 hec-tares.

The awards used data from the 2017-18 season when the Millers milked 925 cows on 273ha. In ad-dition to this farm increasing in size and cow numbers, the Millers have also this season taken over the Morris’ second farm, a 398ha property carrying 1450 cows.

The farming business recorded the lowest cost of production in the competition, at $3.84 a kg of milksolids, and judges said run-ning a tight ship with good cost control ensured the win in that category.

Operating expenses were con-tained at 45 per cent of gross rev-enue and River Terrace had a good pasture harvest of 15.5 tonnes of drymatter/ha, with pasture being 78 per cent of all feed consumed. Production was 495kg/MS/cow, with the business achieving a re-turn on capital of 7.5 per cent compared with a Canterbury aver-age of 4.7 per cent.

River Terrace’s conversion to dairy was completed in the 2014-15 season, with the Millers starting in June 2015.

Previously it was used as a dairy support block for the larger part-

nership that was Ealing Pastures. For its conversion, the irriga-

tion system was upgraded and the whole farm redeveloped.

The property is a system four, with about 600kg of supplementa-ry feed supplied in the shoulders of the season to extend lactation and transition cows to fodder beet for winter.

The couple run a stocking rate of 3.42 cows/ha, slightly lower than the Canterbury average, to

provide more grass availability to fully feed their cows and deliver a high per-cow production.

“Our main focus is keeping our cows at optimum health and fully fed throughout the season,” the couple told a DBOY field day on the property last week.

“We believe getting the cows to maximum intakes as soon as pos-sible and maintaining high quality feed will get the cows to peak fast-er and hold the peak longer. Keep-

ing the cows fully fed will mean more days in milk and result in a higher cow production.

“The more days in milk the cow has through the season the less she is costing the business.”

The couple questioned all spending, with budgets devel-oped and monitored closely. “Tactics for tight times never left us and it is important that we are always thinking about cost versus value.”

River Terrace Dairy also won the business resilience and best peo-ple leadership awards.

The people performance award showed the Millers had been able to achieve their financial results while caring for their people, the judges said.

Rebecca Miller said that how they treated people was impor-tant. “Our reputation is gold.

“We live in a small village called New Zealand and it takes years to build a reputation and minutes to break it. We view our relation-ships with all people as important to our business, whether they are delivering to the farm, or have worked in our business for many years.”

Rebecca grew up in a North Island dairy farming family be-fore working in sales and mar-keting, tourism and administra-tion roles, while Andy grew up in Christchurch until his teenage years when his parents bought a small farm in North Canterbury.

Initially dairy farming in the North Island, they then looked for opportunities in Canterbury.

An emphasis on a good team culture meant staff turnover was virtually nil. The Millers like to empower their staff with the ability to make decisions on feed quality, problem solving and pri-oritising multiple jobs to be done within the team.

The couple have trademarked the term ‘Farmily’.

“A Farmily is an intentional community on farm who look out for one another,” Rebecca Miller said.

It was the first time in DBOY’s 12-year history that two run-ners-up were chosen, but judges said they could not be separated. The other runners-up were Rich-ard and Nadine McCullough, from Karapiro, in Waikato.

By Guy Trafford

The new Asian Pacific trade pact (The re-gional-comprehensive-economic-part-nership, RCEP) has received much

hoop-la from media and politicians however the big prize has been missed.

Not surprising, that is India. Fifteen of the 16 participating nations

did sign, so much has been achieved, but without India it is really just adding a bit more cream to the milk; welcomed but not fundamentally a game changer.

The problem is India has a conservative protectionist government and when viewed in the light of the USA-vs-China issues some sympathy can be had. Agricultural barriers, despite Fonterra’s ventures, are going to be specifically difficult to break.

India is made of millions of small holding and subsistence farmers which would be highly vulnerable from mass importation food products, as would be India’s industrial production sector if China and the other Asian nations got access to India’s 1.3 billion consumers.

From New Zealand’s agricultural sector’s perspective the best gains come around a simplifying of and establishment of a single set of trade rules among participating coun-tries.

This will help reduce non-tariff barriers being imposed against ours, and others, exports. As can be seen from the section extracted from MFAT below, the benefits should assist the horticultural and vegetable sectors:

“The agreement improves the conditions of access for New Zealand exports, addressing concerns raised by New Zealand exporters around non-tariff barriers. These improve-ments include enhanced transparency, and improvements in chapters on customs proce-dures and Sanitary and Phyto-sanitary (SPS) measures regarding goods trade. Examples of reducing red tape and compliance costs include:

Treatment of perishable goods: establishes legally binding provisions requiring all coun-tries to facilitate entry for perishable goods with six hours. Products include fresh seafood, fruit and vegetables.

Rules of origin: New Zealand exporters can claim preferential origin on the basis of either the ‘value-add’ method or ‘change in tariff classification’ rules (reflecting New Zealand’s preferred approach).

The agreement also provides for a consulta-tion mechanism, with clear and predictable processes and time frames, to address non-tar-iff barriers.”

On a more general front the ability to invest in other countries (and them in us) should gain greater certainty and transparency. How-ever, the OIO stills retains its current powers with:

“The government’s right to regulate for legitimate public policy purposes continues to be protected as does New Zealand’s current foreign investment screening regime under the Overseas Investment Act. Investor State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) will not apply to New Zealand in RCEP.”

Although, given that overseas investment are being allowed to purchase large tracts of productive farmland to convert to plantation forestry this clause does not appear to be having much influence on overseas investor regardless of the RCEP.

At a glance it extends and builds on the CTTP, still without the inclusion of the US, and, if India was included, it would have covered around 50 per cent of the world’s population.

Countries like Japan have been reducing tariffs, incrementally under the CPTPP, the RCEP may provide further impetus to speed up this trend.

Perhaps, with the ongoing pressures and regulation that are making livestock farming, as we know it, more difficult, the improved access for plant-based products may have real benefits down the track, although some way out into the future for most.

Perhaps interestingly, China has been a strong proponent of the RCEP to use it to help set-up a powerful counter economy to the influence the US has and all the com-plications that has raised in the last couple of years. This perhaps highlights the major differences between the Indian and Chinese economies.

China is seeking to expand outward and build trade relationships with other coun-tries, especially ones that have products they desire, which has put New Zealand in a fortu-nate position and all of this with a centralist communist government.

While India, the world’s largest democ-racy, has the protectionist policies and a more inward attitude. At the moment, India produces enough food to feed its population, whether the masses can afford to purchase it is another question. With a population growth of a tad over 1 per cent and predicted to start declining sometime in the not too distant future, expecting demand to be driv-en by population may not be sensible.

Along with government policy, China’s de-mand for our food products has been driven by its growing and increasingly prosperous (relatively) middle class. The picture in India is not so positive and while it is difficult to obtain definitive numbers there is evidence that the Indian population is increasingly losing ground with living standards.

Running along the RCEP negotiations have been talks with Chinese officials to upgrade the FTA signed in 2008. It includes new rules to make exporting to China cheaper and eas-ier, the highest level of commitment to envi-ronmental standards China has made in any free trade deal and giving the vast majority of wood and paper trade to China preferential access over the next 10 years.

That will include some processed wood products, for which the forestry sector had been seeking tariff cuts.

In return, New Zealand will adjust visa rules for some jobs here, including tour guides and Mandarin language teachers, but the overall number of visas allocated will not change.

MarketsPerhaps surprisingly, it has been the

manufacturing and lower value grade that have received a lift this week, while the falling trend for venison continues.

SheepLamb held on to its earlier gains but no

increases this week. Some processors have differentiated between old and new season lambs with a 10 cent discount per kg on last season’s.

However, mutton continues to lift in value with most processors increasing their schedule.

Saleyard prices for both classes are holding at high levels with the start on new seasons lambs entering the store pens with $124 quoted at Coalgate for new season lamb.

WoolNo great moves and little to gauge how the

fine wools are faring with the last sale being in the North Island. Coarse wools held, just, and at a fairly low level.

Cattle.A similar story to sheep. Prime steer and

heifers held but cow and bulls both had healthy lifts on the schedules.

All classes of cattle are selling well at the saleyards and the current rain should under-pin the demand.

DairyThe GDT auction lifted 3.7 per cent last

week with whole milk powder to the fore with a 6.4 per cent lift. This reinforces the increased forecast from Fonterra earlier in the month.

A little disconcerting is the downward trend of cheddar cheese.

VenisonThe venison price continues to be the

spoiler to the story with yet more falls again in this week’s schedule. We are unlikely to see a lift for some time now and it may require a game changer to international affairs to provide venison with the boost it needs.

Fonterra’s stake in China’s Being-mate has dropped by one per cent to 17.8 per cent following a series of transactions.

According to Shenzen Stock Ex-change data, the sales took place within a range of 5.28 to 6.71 yuan.

That equates to an average exit price of 5.58 yuan per share, against Fonterra’s 2015 purchase price of 18 yuan per share.

The co-op said in August that it was winding back its relationship with Beingmate and that it was looking to reduce its financial stake.

“Yes, we have sold a portion of our stake, which is the equivalent of 1 per cent of Beingmate,” a spokes-person for the co-op said.

“We announced in August that we

would start the sell-down, so that’s what we have done over the last month or two,” she said.

Fonterra has already written down the investment by more than $430 million.

The sell-down is part of Fonterra’s three-point plan to turn around its business, which last year recorded its biggest ever loss of $605m.

Fonterra paid $NZ755m for its stake in Beingmate as part of a joint venture arrangement.

Under Shenzhen Stock Exchange rules it is only possible to sell up to 1 per cent every 90 days directly on the exchange, or sell up to 2 per cent in a single block every 90 days.

However, trades greater than 5 per cent can be made to an individual party in an off-market transaction.

Fonterra has already unwound its

joint venture arrangement with Be-ingmate, taking back full ownership of the Darnum manufacturing plant in Australia.

When Fonterra invested in Being-mate in 2015 it said the deal would give access to the lucrative Chinese market for its infant formula and other products.

Beingmate originally had sole rights to distribute Fonterra’s popu-lar Anmum brand in China but that ended as the two companies fell out over strategy and governance issues.

Fonterra’s NZ-listed units last traded at $4.17, up from their lowest ever point of $3.15 in August.

Beingmate shares have also been on the improve, trading at 6.12 yuan from their August low point of 4.94 yuan.

Fonterra starts Beingmate sell-down

The Reserve Bank will reveal its final decision on a controversial proposal to make banks hold more capital on Thursday, December 5 at 12 noon.

The Reserve Bank is proposing a lift in the amount of risk-weighted capital retail banks hold, from 8.5 per cent to 16 per cent.

The increase is designed to make banks safer and better designed to handle periods of financial stress by holding enough capital to reduce the probability of a financial crisis in New Zealand to a one in 200-year event.

But Australian bank bosses have pushed back, calling it overly con-servative and warning that it could limit the availability of credit in some sectors of the economy and increase interest costs for borrowers.

Some economists have also

warned the proposed hikes go be-yond similar moves in Australia and may be detrimental to economic growth.

But last month the Reserve Bank released an independent review of the proposal by three academic economists.

Two of the three academics con-cluded that the RBNZ had in fact overstated the impact of the capital proposals on bank funding costs.

They argued that bank profits in this country are more than strong enough to handle the higher capital ratios, meaning the pass through of interest rate costs should be lower than the Reserve Bank estimates.

This contrasts sharply with major banks such as Westpac, which have argued the Reserve Bank underesti-mated the likely cost to borrowers.

In its submission on the propos-als, Westpac said it estimated the in-

crease in capital could up the cost to borrowers by adding more than 100 basis points to the interest rate on a home loan — an increase of around $6000 to an average home loan in Auckland.

The Reserve Bank has indicated it will consider all comments and suggestions made by the independ-ent experts and is also considering points raised in the submission pro-cess by the banks and others.

It says it will refine its estimates of costs and benefits, consider a range of perspectives on interest rate impacts, assess the impact of incentives on various groups in the financial system and undertake ad-ditional analysis of the definition of capital and processes for determin-ing the level of risk-weighted assets.

The RBNZ will hold a press con-ference shortly after the release, at 1pm.

Bank capital announcement due soon

By Jenny ruthAP

Those in awe of global share-markets moving back into record highs may be somewhat reassured that, with 90 per cent of S&P 500 companies having reported their September-quarter results, earn-ings are running well ahead of ex-pectations.

That also helps explain why US interest rates have rebounded in recent weeks, the yield on 10-year Treasuries, for example lifting from its 1.42 per cent low in Sep-tember to the still low rate of 1.93 per cent on Friday, and why the Federal Reserve has likely done with cutting rates, at least for now.

Fed chair Jerome Powell will be testifying before congress mid week and will likely repeat the message of the Fed’s last meeting when, after cutting the federal funds rate to 1.5-1.75 per cent, it said the bar for any further eas-ings is high.

That message should take some of the pressure off New Zealand’s Reserve Bank which will an-nounce its latest monetary policy decision tomorrow.

With economists divided on whether RBNZ will cut its official cash rate again following cuts from 1.75 per cent to 1 per cent since May and the market pricing in a 64 per cent chance of a cut at the end of last week, the market is likely to show a strong reaction whatever the decision.

Mark Lister, head of wealth re-search at Craigs Investment Part-ners, says the bank has a number of reasons for feeling less pressure to cut the OCR than a month ago.

“They don’t have the pressure coming from the Fed because the

Fed has moved to the sidelines, global sentiment seems to have rebounded with the US share market at records and we’ve seen a decent uplift in milk prices,” Lis-ter said.

Dairy products account for about 20 per cent of New Zea-land’s exports and the 3.7 per cent increase in the Global Dairy Trade Index last week was the fourth consecutive increase.

Lister says the index is now just 3.1 per cent below the May 2019 high and 20 per cent higher than a year ago.

“If RBNZ wants a reason to keep it’s powder dry for now, it’s easy to find one,” he said.

Heading into the Septem-ber-quarter US corporate reports, analysts had been expecting an average 4.1 per cent fall in earn-ings but actual earnings have fall-en 2.4 per cent on average.

“It was definitely better than expected pretty much across the board. You’ve still got earnings slipping from where they were a year ago, but to a lesser de-gree than thought. So the corpo-rate sector is still seeing a slow-

down,” Lister said.Of those reporting, 75 per cent

have beaten expectations and the 12-month return has averaged 11.2 per cent.

That helped fuel the S&P 500 In-dex’s 0.9 per cent rally to a record last week, taking its gains year-to-date to 23.4 per cent.

New Zealand’s benchmark S&P/NZX 50 Index has gained the same amount so far this year, although it isn’t directly comparable be-cause it includes dividends, unlike the US index.

Global household names yet to report include Britain’s Vodafone and Burberry, China’s Tencent and Walmart in the US, although they are unlikely to change the picture of slowing but still healthy growth.

Investors have a few results in New Zealand to watch, notably Mainfreight and Infratil’s first-half results tomorrow and Goodman Property Trust’s first-half and San-ford’s annual results on Thursday.

Outlook comments from the annual meetings of Heartland Group and Contact Energy, on today and tomorrow respectively, will also be worth watching.

Heritage

1. A common location for all ‘AshColl’ stu-dents and visitors, the auditorium, as seen from student height.

2. While some may not enjoy change very much, it is a part of a town’s history. With Mobil and the Post Office not there any-more, these photos tell the story of change in Ashburton, as seen from the walkway on the railway overbridge.

3. Seen from a low pedestrian angle, the icon-ic clock tower is a towering sight whose quarter-hour sound helps Ashburtoni-ans tell the time. Now covered in flashing

lights, it’s also a great visual attraction.4. Being overshadowed by the clock tower

and tall trees is the Grigg statue in Baring Square, an important part of Ashburton history. Before drones, images like these required a nearby tall building, or struc-ture, to climb.

5. The cars out the front of the building look a bit different than those of today! But the Ashburton Public Library was a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, as seen from the end of the Ashburton District Council offices.

While researching for our current exhibi-tion, Ashburton: Feels Like Home, the team at Ashburton Museum got to know

a lot of areas of our district a little better, through some very quirky stories, objects and archival records.

Not everything we found made it into the exhibi-tion, but we did end up with a fascinating range of material on display.

From softly coloured aerial images of the town and district, models of familiar landmarks, to curi-ous objects that help tell the story of our district.

For visitors, one of the favourite (or to young people, mysterious) items is a school strap, cut into 19 pieces, which was donated to Ashburton Museum by an ex-Lynnford School pupil who remains anonymous.

Another much loved item, for those of a certain generation, is the Snowdrop sign from the popular ice-cream factory and shop, once located at the north end of East Street.

And for those with an interest in music, one unique item is a Hymn to Lowcliffe, handwritten in an exercise book titled Songs and Rhymes, that belonged to John Brown, who was a 21-year-old bachelor teacher at Lowcliffe School. Dated 1899, the book includes an early style of musical nota-tion and Brown’s own lyrics.

While these items represent some interesting angles, sights and sounds from throughout our region, we also noticed a range of images that gave similar indications.

As they couldn’t all fit in the exhibition, they are featured here as a reminder of some different views of what makes this place special, as we come to the end of this very popular exhibition.

Scotty’s father chimes inNZME

Scott McLaughlin’s father has spo-ken out about DJR Team Penske re-cent breach which saw the Kiwi V8 Supercar driver relegated to the back of the grid for Sunday’s race.

The rule breach was a result of McLaughlin’s engine exceeding “the maximum permitted valve lift pre-scribed in the car’s Engine Specifi-cation Document”, causing the Con-federation of Australian Motorsport to fine the team and retroactively disqualify McLaughlin from Ba-

thurst qualifying and the shootout.Wayne McLaughlin said that the

breach came down to “human error” after an engineer made a “simple mistake”.

“Obviously there is a little contro-versy there over the valve and the en-gine but that’s out of the driver’s con-trol. It was just the way the motor was built and one valve was out.

“ I suppose it was human error, to be honest.”

According to the steward’s deci-sion, the team ran two engines over the weekend after one was replaced

because the observed water pres-sure in the first engine was abnor-mally high. The first engine, which breached rules, set the fastest times in the field in both Qualifying and the Top Ten Shootout for the Ba-thurst 1000, stripping McLaughlin of his fastest lap title.

The second engine was used dur-ing the Bathurst 1000 race and did not breach any rules.

When the first engine was pulled apart, the breach was discovered.

“They searched and searched until they found something,” Wayne said.

Rain prevents a result for MCBy Erin [email protected]

Bad weather brought a makeshift Mid Canterbury side’s latest rep cricket fixture in Rangiora to a premature end on Sunday.

Playing Canterbury Country at Mainpower Oval in what was Mid Canterbury’s second pre-season hit-out before beginning their 2019/20 Hawke Cup campaign, rain which arrived in the break between innings meant the match was abandoned before the visiting side got a chance to bat.

It was a disappointing end to a bit of a stressful day for Mid Can-terbury coach Garfield Charles, who was still trying to find play-ers on the drive to Rangiora, af-

ter two late withdrawals from his line-up.

Charles himself ended up bor-rowing some whites and, at 56 years old, taking to the field for the side he’s used to watching from the sideline.

“I filled a gap in the field, that was all it was,” Charles said.

Had the weather not come in and had Mid Canterbury batted, Charles said he wouldn’t have batted himself.

A former international for Guy-ana, Charles said it had been decades since he’d last picked up a cricket bat in an actual game scenario, and while his reactions weren’t what they used to be in the field, he actually surprised himself.

But, he wasn’t planning on making it a regular occurrence, it was an appearance made out of necessity.

“We had three guys away at the Willows and the other young fel-lows had exams, so they all chose not to play, which was under-standable,” Charles said.

“Although the roster looks very big and long, we were missing eight to 10 guys.”

Those who were there played well, given the challenges the team had faced to even get on the park after Tom Ravenscroft in-jured his finger playing cricket on Saturday, and Richard Print got called in to work.

Mid Canterbury had limited bowling options on a flat wick-

et against a class side, but those who were there stepped up to the mark, reducing Canterbury Country to a total of just 290/8 off their 60 overs.

Country opener Chris Warner kept things ticking over for his side before eventually being dis-missed for 106, caught by Des Kruger off the bowling of Jay Hou-ston.

Harry Chamberlain also bat-ted well for his 49, before being caught by James Southby off the bowling of his brother William Southby, while Will Hamilton, Ben Chamberlain and Josh Mariu all got starts.

William Southby, Houston and Tom Innes all took two wickets each for Mid Canterbury, while

Richard Turpie and Kruger took one each.

Houston’s figures of 2/44 were the pick of the bunch.

Had they got the chance to bat, Mid Canterbury had some fire-power in their 10-man batting line up, but the rain resulted in the match being abandoned and prevented them from getting val-uable time at the crease.

Mid Canterbury now have just one pre-season game to go – against North Otago in Oamaru in two weeks’ time – before kicking off their Hawke Cup zone cam-paign in Timaru against South Canterbury.

Mid Canterbury’s remaining three Hawke Cup games are all in January.

The going was pretty tough again for Ashburton College’s first XI cricket side on Saturday, as they hosted one of Christchurch’s top school sides.

Christ’s College’s first XI made the trip to the Ashburton Domain and went home with a 67-run win to their names, ensuring Ashbur-ton College’s winless start to Can-terbury’s top youth first XI grade competition this season contin-ued.

The visitors batted first and opening batsman Nick Lidstone got them off to an ideal start, top-scoring with 44.

Ashburton boy Tom Graham then chimed in with 24 as the Christchurch side’s next best batsman, helping them through to 158 all out off 38.3 overs against his former school.

For the Ashburton College bowlers Angus Jemmett took 4/39 off his 10 overs, while Tom Middleton took 2/25 off 7.3 overs and Ben Middleton 2/21 off five overs.

Ashburton College then got off to one of their better starts in re-ply, producing a couple of good partnerships and getting through to 69 before they lost their third wicket, and from there things went a bit pear shaped.

They lost three wickets while the score was on 69 – two of them nabbed by Graham – and went on to be all out for 91, continuing their run of totals just shy of the 100-run mark.

Isaac Bazley’s 29 was the best on the scoresheet for Ashburton College, while Jemmett was the only other batsman to reach dou-ble figures, with 12.

For Christ’s College, Graham did the bulk of the damage against his old school, taking 4/27, while Tom McClean took 3/20.

Next up, Ashburton College will hit the road for another tough challenge, with the St An-drew’s College 1st XI their next opposition in Christchurch this Saturday. Ashburton College’s Liam Sullivan took 1/24 against Christ’s College on Saturday. PHOTO HEATHER MACKENZIE 091119-HM-0209

Andrew Shepherd made his trip to the foothills on Sunday well worth his while, taking out the latest race on the Tinwald Cycling Club’s programme.

The club headed to Methven for Sunday’s racing, where Shep-herd claimed victory and lifted the Peach Cup in the 45km hand-icap event.

Five riders found the front late in the race but were well aware that the chasing bunch was push-ing hard and had them in their sights leading into the final kilo-metres.

But Shepherd had the best of the charge to the line to edge out second placegetter Ryan Spill-ane.

Dave Shurrock turned the clock back with a strong finish to secure the third place spoils, while Kerry Clough backed up his recent good form with a solid fourth place fin-ish.

Brian Ellis put in a good day’s work to secure fifth place and Nick Grijns led the race’s chasing group home to round out the top six.

Scratch marker Oliver David-son took fastest time honours, riding the course in 67.12 min-utes, while co-markers Tony Ward and Brad Hudson claimed second and third time respectively.

The juniors and division two riders contested a 15km handicap event, where James Reid pulled out a great ride to take the win for the juniors.

He had to work hard in the sprint to the line to see off the challenge from the fast-finishing Sarah Gould, who finished sec-ond.

First time starter Lucy Reeve showed she will be one to watch in the future, taking out the fi-nal podium position, while Leah Reid, Lily Davidson, and Daniel Gould came in to round out the top six.

Back-marker Ethan Titheridge secured fastest time honours riding the distance in 26.00 min-utes.

Meanwhile, Kenny Johnstone caught Hillary Singlewood in the last 100 metres to claim division two spoils.

This week the club will contest a 48km handicap event around the Wakanui Beach block.

Top tennis comes to townBy Erin [email protected]

Christchurch’s premier tennis grade paid Ashburton a visit on Saturday and put on a top show for local tennis fans.

Both the city’s men’s and women’s grades played their latest round matches at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre, and within the teams were a few players who were no strangers to the courts.

For the women, Ashburton’s Tessa McCann – the current back-to-back holder of the Can-terbury Open singles title – was in action for Cashmere in their fixture against Bishopdale.

She took on Geraldine’s Mar-got Robinson in the top singles and won 6-0 6-2, and combined with Annabel Coates to win her

doubles in three sets, helping Cashmere to an overall 5-1 win on matches.

For the men defending Mid Canterbury Gala Cup men’s sin-gles champion Cam McCracken also made an unexpected ap-pearance in the Christchurch competition, backing up from the Mid Canterbury open grade competition which was played earlier in the day.

He started the day by produc-ing the upset of the local compe-tition this season so far by beat-ing top Australasian youngster Diego Quispe-Kim, but the win-ning didn’t continue.

McCracken then took to the court for Bishopdale against a Waimari side headed up by for-mer Mid Canterbury Tennis coach Remi Feneon, and Fene-

on’s Waimari won it in a clean sweep 6-0.

McCracken went down to Maddison Aubrey in the singles 6-4 6-3, and combined with Josh Cameron in the doubles and went down 6-2 6-1 to Feneon and Finn Emslie-Robson.

Current Mid Canterbury Ten-nis head coach Jack Tiller was also in action, playing for Elm-wood against Cashmere and finding himself up against fellow tennis coach Matthew Meredith in the singles. Tiller won the first set but dropped serve at 4-5 in the second to send it to a decid-ing third set tie-break.

From 2-all, Meredith’s con-sistent and focused tennis, and a couple of errors from Tiller, helped Meredith to the win for his Cashmere side.

Overall, Cashmere took that tie out 5-1 on matches, with Mid Canterbury Tennis stalwart Pauline Taylor among the most interested spectators, due to the encounter featuring two of her grandsons.

Playing for Elmwood, Law-rence Darling took on John-ny McHarg and prevailed in a long match, while Elliot Darling fought hard but couldn’t match the consistent shot-making of Harry Weeds.

Former Mid Canterbury Gala Cup men’s singles champion Flynn Ness was also in action, playing for Shirley against Te Kura Hagley, where he was just pipped in a match tie-break in doubles, but proved no match for the powerful Alex Emslie in singles.

World record adds to paralympians’ success storyParalympians Emma Foy (Marsden Wheelers, Whangarei) and Hannah van Kampen (Ramblers, Hawke’s Bay) showed the para cycling world that they are consistently and once again at the top of their sport by smashing the world record in the women’s b individual pursuit at the C1 Para Cycling Track Event in Cambridge on Sunday.

In a time of 3:22.088 the tandem pairing added this world record to the two rainbow jerseys they have won this year across both track and road Ppara cycling.

“For us it was the first racing of the track season and a good chance to see where we were at.

“Our coach Damian had set what I thought was a pretty op-

timistic schedule of lap times to ride in the individual pursuit.

“But we did it. We had been tracking towards making the world record time in training so we knew we could get close. It was incredibly satisfying to see all the hard work come together,” said Foy.

Stuart MacDonald (PNZ Para

Cycling Head Performance Coach) said: “It was fantastic for Emma and Hannah to break the world record in the qualifying round, then back it up again later in the day in the final.

“This meant they achieved two rides producing times of 3 minutes and 22 seconds at sea level on the same day within a couple of hours

of each other. Both rides were in-credible and very much reflective of the work they have put in with their coach Damian Wiseman.

“Overall this event was a really solid start to the track season for the entire Para cycling squad.

“The performances overall this weekend bodes well for the rest of the New Zealand season.”

■ NEW ZEALAND CUP DAY

Rakaia trotter out to steal the showBy Matt [email protected]

By the time Rakaia trotter Girls Let Loose steps out onto Adding-ton today, the hustle and bustle of one of the biggest days of rac-ing in New Zealand will be all but over.

But don’t let that diminish the occasion for the Stuart Suther-land-trained mare and there’ll be more than just a few of the Mid Canterbury hopeful who will be hoping that the talented trotter can get herself a slice of the ac-tion.

In the race immediately fol-lowing the New Zealand Trotting Cup, at a time when the crowd often tends to diminish and the hype and excitement dies down, Girls Let Loose looks one of the better rough chances of the day, provided she can bring her man-ners to the occasion.

While most of her rivals would have been having the final polish put together on Sunday morning, Sutherland and his regular driver Gerard O’Reilly were concocting a different plan.

They were up in Methven at the Mt Hutt workouts and Girls Let Loose was with them – just for a quiet bowl around on the grass, her fast-finishing effort for third a good pointer that she was on track for today.

“She hadn’t been trotting the bends very well, so we took her up there to work on that,” O’Reil-ly said.

“She was OK, a little scratchy early but once she warmed into her work she was a lot better.”

O’Reilly knows the mare well, he’s been sitting behind her in 17 of her 20 career starts with only his daughter, Sarah and Korbyn Newman entrusted with the driv-ing duties outside of himself and he doesn’t beat around the bush when he assesses her chances for today.

“She’s good enough to win it, but she just needs to do things

right,” he said.“We were cruising to the front

at Kaikoura when she galloped for no reason and I think she might have been very hard to beat if she’d stayed down trotting.

“So, hopefully she’s in the right mood and does everything right because she can certainly be more than competitive, that’s for sure.”

Girls Let Loose is joined in the

$25,000 trotting event by fellow Mid Canterbury trotter, Rebel Kibbybones who looks a strong chance for trainer and driver John Hay.

O’Reilly will be a busy enough man on Cup Day with five drives on the 12-race card including a rare appearance in the colours of champion trainers, Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen in the Group One Sires’ Stakes Final.

“It’s always nice when you get to put those colours on,” he laughed.

His drive is Virgil, a last start winner who was desperately un-lucky the week before that, but O’Reilly knows he’ll need some luck.

“He’s going really well, but it will be hard from our draw, hope-fully we can get a bit of luck.”

Two of his other three drives,

Laver and Tiebreaker both hail from the Geoff Dunn stable and he labelled the former as his best chance of the day.

“I think if things go right for him he’s a pretty big chance in that field.”

His other drive is the very tal-ented trotter Ronald J, from the stable of master trainer, Paul Nairn who is fresh up from a lengthy spell.

■ NEW ZEALAND CUP

Distance only query for SpankemBy Jonny Turner

A perfect preparation has reign-ing national horse of the year Spankem ready to tackle a dis-tance far from perfect for him in the New Zealand Trotting Cup at Addington today.

Trainers Mark Purdon and Na-talie Rasmussen have overseen an incredibly faultless lead-up to New Zealand’s greatest harness race, with Spankem displaying the speed, stamina and poise of a de-serving favourite.

The Miracle Mile winner has cruised over every hurdle the

champion trainers have put in front of him, speeding to victory in traditional lead-up races the Hannon Memorial, Canterbury Classic and Flying Stakes.

The only question the 5yr-old has not been able to answer in the lead up to the New Zealand Cup is whether he will handle its 3200m distance.

Purdon is confident his horse will stay the distance under the pressure environment of a New Zealand Cup.

But the master trainer-driver admits it is not the ideal trip for his speed machine.

“I wouldn’t think it is his go – he is better over shorter distances,” he said.

“But at the same time, he is in a great place and his form suggests he is probably still going to be the one to beat, even though it is not his pet distance.”

Spankem’s staying qualities have drawn attention as he has been unplaced in two starts past 2700m.

The first of those came when the pacer ran a creditable, but well beaten fourth in last year’s 2760m Interdominion final, won by Tiger Tara.

The second came in this year’s 3200m Easter Cup, won by Turn It Up, when the he was first up from a short spell.

Whether Spankem or any of the field see out today’s distance relies heavily on what kind of run and how they are driven.

Purdon looks to have limitless options from barrier 6 with his excellent beginner. The five-time New Zealand Cup winning driver would not be drawn in to talking too many tactics, but hinted that taking a trail could help Spankem show his best.

“One thing is that he will follow

any speed, it won’t matter how quick they go, he will follow that speed and come out and show his own high speed.”

The favourite’s stablemate, Thefixer, comes in to the race in a majorly contrasting situation to Spankem. There are absolutely no queries over his staying prowess, following his tenacious win in the New Zealand Cup last year.

Purdon suggested Thefixer was a better horse than when he won last year’s edition.

“He is a horse that can make his own luck – and he is probably one of the few in the field that could.”

PuzzlesPuzzles and horoscopes

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Self-delusion sounds like a negative tendency when it can be an important coping mechanism necessary to fulfilling most ambitions. Today you’ll very effectively trick yourself into action and accomplishment.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You really like a person, and the feeling is mutual, though life will not bring you together naturally. If you want something to happen, it will be on you to make it so.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Compatibility and passion are not mutually exclusive, yet they seldom occur at the same time in the same relationship. If you have to pretend you’re someone else to win love, it’s not love that you’re winning.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): To provide a reason for what’s happening is to offer a sense of comfort and context. When in doubt, give people more information instead of less, especially on the subject of why. It will help them calm down.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Though you may not have the moment to express it today, you’re very proud of a certain person’s talent and commitment, and when that person wins, you’ll feel like you’re winning, too.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): There may be false starts, incorrect data, unhelpful feedback... a gift if you take it as your cue to go back to what you know to be true. With the truth as your touchstone, much will be possible.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Because you’re so creative, sometimes people don’t understand right away how to take what you’re throwing out there. Don’t give up, with a little more time and exposure, they’ll really start to get you.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): People get together; alchemy happens; and soon the group has its own atmosphere. If you want a commitment from people, get it in the room because once they leave the room, the spell will be broken.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You would like to be more certain of a relationship than you are, but perhaps, on a deeper level, that is the whole appeal. If you were to know exactly what was there, it would nullify the discovery.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You may wonder whether a person likes you or not – a strange thought, since it also seems you should, by now, be able to take this as a given. Human complexity is better embraced than overthought.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): First, you’ll sense that you might be able to change the world, and then you’ll make a move. Thinking isn’t involved here. If you think too much, you’ll never act.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Knowing how things work technically will help you understand how they work psychologically and sociologically, but this hypothesis may not work in reverse. Technical skill will be important to obtain.

AshColl old boy comes back to haunt the first XI P16

By Matt [email protected]

He’s all but resigned to the fact that he probably won’t be adding to his list of New Zealand Trotting Cup successes today, but Mid Canterbury harness racing leg-end Ricky May is still hoping for the best.

The most successful driver ever in New Zealand harness racing’s most elite race has the reins on the $51-to-one shot, A G’s White Socks and the hope is that all the bad luck and bad manners are out of the way and the right ver-sion turns up to the big dance to-day at Addington.

But, it’s a big if. There’s no doubting that at his

best, the Greg and Nina Hope trained pacer is good enough to compete, but he’s not helping

himself and May can’t put a finger on what the problem is.

“He’s going away and then gal-loping, it’s not like him,” he said.

“He used to be such a good be-ginner, but I don’t know why he’s started doing this.”

Drawn on the second line to-day, there is hope that having horses in front of him might help settle things down a bit and after a solid trial last week at Adding-ton, May knows the horse is well enough to be competitive, if he wants to do it.

“I gave him a good hit-out, he felt nice and did it well, so it’s just up to him now.

“It looks awfully hard to see him winning it on the way he’s been behaving and the way that Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen’s horses have been going though.”

If there is a silver lining, it’s A G’s White Socks’ staying ability – a massive tick in the right column for the New Zealand Trotting Cup which is held over the maximum distance of 3200 metres.

So, for May it’s a case of hoping everything falls into place.

“He’s a great stayer, we know that.

“If he could get away nicely and get a good trip and they run along a bit in front then he’s a bit of a chance of running home well because he will see out the distance.

“But we’re likely to end up a long way back which isn’t going to help, we might just need a wee miracle to happen to bring us into it if things go well.”

By his own admission the champion horseman has a mixed

bag of drives at the meeting to-day, with most needing plenty of luck to feature, but he did point to his drive in the first race of the day, Matua Tana who is also trained by the Hopes as being his best chance of success.

“If he can do things right, espe-cially over the first few hundred metres then he’s got to be a big chance of winning.

“But he just needs to find his balance early and after that he’ll be right.”

HOPING FORA MIRACLE

NZ Cup maestro Ricky May has the drive behind A G’s White Socks in today’s big race at Addington, but will need everything to go his way to figure in the finish.
