Canty meth crime up 83%

BY COLIN ENGELBRECHT COLIN.E@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Canterbury policing district has experienced the biggest rise in meth crimes in the last financial year than anywhere else in New Zealand.

Methamphetamine crimes have almost doubled in the space of a year in the Canterbury District, recent police stats show.

Offences relating to the drug have increased by 83 per cent in the year ending this June.

In the 12 months to June 2015 there were 70 offences in the Canterbury District.

In the year following, that number had climbed to 128.

The statistics show an increase of 58 P offences.

Alarmingly, numbers of drug enforcement officers have decreased over the same period.

As of June, 2012, there were 24 swornin officers dedicated to drug investigations. But at the end of June this year that number had fallen to 17, a decrease of seven officers.

Labour leader Andrew Little said during a visit to the district yesterday that the current National government had failed to properly fund police.

Little said there had been a national overall increase in crime of 5.5 per cent, including a 54 per cent increase in robberies.

With roots stretching back to 1875, Heartland has a proud history of supporting small-to-medium sized businesses, farms and families in Canterbury.

It’s great to offer the people of Ashburton a local banking option that is 100% for New Zealand.

“The latest statistics for the past year show that burglaries are up by nearly 18 per cent, that means 10,977 more burglaries,” he said.

Statistics released to the Guardian show there has been a 25 per cent increase in burglaries in the Ashburton District alone.

“These figures are a disturbing reminder of National’s chronic underfunding of the police budget,” he said.

“Judith Collins can no longer underfund and under-resource policing. We are now in a crisis.”

If in power, Little said Labour would introduce a policy to increase current police numbers by 1000 within their first term.

Rakaia takes out SAR competition

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Search and rescue (SAR) team members from throughout Canterbury upskilled in the field on Sunday as they competed in the annual Harris Trophy.

Rakaia SAR won, beating Methven, Oxford, Christchurch, Christchurch Police, Ellesmere

and Hanmer.

The competition was based near Barrhill and the exercise was to rescue a missing fisherman on the Rakaia River. But a surprise element was added and the exercise changed to teams rescuing one of their own party who went down with a cardiac arrest.

The role of patient was taken by

each team’s first aid assessor. They had a mannequin in their pack which worked as a body double, on which each team member had to perform CPR. The first aid assessor had to be stretchered out, across the riverbed, receiving all the correct patient care along the way.

Rakaia SAR group training of-

ficer Stuart Humphrey said there had been a great display of skill on the day.

Long gone were the days when a police officer walked into the local pub to string together a rescue team at the last minute when someone went missing. Today New Zealand was a world leader on the SAR front and members

■ RUGBY PLAYER

Mid Canterbury player named Interim name suppression has lapsed for a Mid Canterbury rugby player accused of assault with intent to commit rape in Gisborne in early October.

Kolinio Yabia Tamanitoakula, 25, a Fijian national, from Ashburton, appeared via AV link from the Timaru District Court before judge Warren Cathcart in Gisborne District Court yesterday morning.

The alleged incident happened after a representative rugby game at Ruatoria.

The first court appearance happened at a time when New Zealand rugby was already under fire

about player misconduct.

Counsel Alistair Clarke said interim suppression of name and details had lapsed and he was not in a position to advance a case for its further continuation.

He was critical of Fairfax Media which he said had too leniently interpreted the suppression order by publishing details against the court order.

“The horse had bolted,” Clarke said.

Police prosecutor Carl Neustroski said police would have been neutral on any further application.

Judge Cathcart asked for as-

surance that identifying Tamanitoakula would not in any way identify the complainant.

He was told there was no connection between the two.

The judge further remanded Tamanitoakula on bail for another appearance on February 9 which will also be via AV link from Timaru.

The judge warned media present nothing could be published that might identify the complainant.

The judge ordered an interpreter to be present for any further appearances because of English language difficulties.

Men better at parking?

Men rate themselves better at parking than women do, according to the findings of the 2016 AA Insurance Driver survey.

Of the 1068 Kiwis surveyed, 85 per cent of drivers were confident in their parking ability, but deeper analysis revealed a stark difference between how the two genders rated themselves.

While 93 per cent of men said they were confident parkers, only 78 per cent of women responded affirmatively.

Almost half of men, 42 per cent, described their ability as “excellent”, whereas only 22 per cent of women used this term.

However, confidence doesn’t necessarily make for a better driver.

FREE

According to NZTA statistics men were drivers in 71 per cent of fatal crashes and 57 per cent of crashes where someone was hurt.

While women may be more unsure than men when it came to parking, the survey revealed both genders were similarly confident in their driving.

Nine out of 10 women (90 per cent) said they were confident behind the wheel, compared to 96 per cent of men.

Despite most AA customers rating both their driving and parking abilities highly, the insurance company said 69 per cent of men and 63 per cent of women surveyed admitted they had crashed a car.

Month added to ‘online lothario’s’ sentence A conman with an extensive history of stealing from women had an extra month added to his jail time when he appeared in the Ashburton District Court yesterday.

Paul William Todd Abbott, 33, of Allenton, was sentenced to nine months’ imprisonment in the Christchurch District Court two weeks earlier, on charges of conning two women he had met on internet dating sites.

Yesterday he faced Judge Joanna Maze for sentencing on another two charges of obtaining by deception.

This time his victim was a teenage boy.

Abbott had moved into an Ashburton address with the boy and his mother in May. Having gained the boy’s trust, Abbott persuaded his victim to lend him $600 to buy a vehicle on May 26.

Abbott took the money and left, later returning without the money or a vehicle.

On June 10 he conned another $600 off the boy on the pretext he could buy a better vehicle with $1200.

He headed to Christchurch

and that was the last the boy saw of the money.

When questioned by police Abbott denied receiving cash from either the boy or his former partner.

His lawyer Roz Burnside asked Judge Maze to consider a concurrent sentence, under which Abbott would not receive any additional jail time.

However, Judge Maze ascertained the second offence had been committed while Abbott was on bail for the Christchurch matters.

Abbott’s offending stretches back to 2011 and involves many victims and several alias names.

He has been dubbed the Artful Dodger and the online lothario.

Over the years he has claimed a brain tumour, faked suicide and has been largely unrepentant.

He was jailed for two years and seven months for conning money from women in 2012.

Earlier this month the Christchurch court was told Abbott was now living in a relationship with another woman who is expecting a child.

Little loves newcomer campaign

By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

The Labour Party leader started his trip with a smile yesterday morning when he visited the Ashburton Library.

Andrew Little met with a group of newcomers and spoke to them on Ashburton District Council’s Start With a Smile couch.

The campaign was launched mid-September to try and make Mid Canterbury feel more like home to many of the newcomers

to the district. Little said he was impressed and thought it was a brilliant initiative for Ashburton.

Although the campaign was initially started in Christchurch, it was adopted here as part of the council’s leading role in the newcomer and migrant settlement work programme.

Little said it was good for the council to provide a way for newcomers to find friends and build networks, especially in Ashburton, where a lot of people are coming

from overseas to work on farms.

“For a country that has always been dependent on people coming here, I think it’s good to have ways for new people to meet others,” he said.

The focal point of the campaign is the Start with a Smile couch, where locals and newcomers can sit down and find out more about each other.

The couch has travelled to a number of events in Ashburton, including Boulevard Day.

Kea in running for next year’s Bird of the Year

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@thEguardian.Co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s birds have lost out in the race to win New Zealand’s Bird of the Year.

The kokako was yesterday crowned the winner in the Forest and Bird annual two-week competition.

Almost 20,000 people voted and the kokako received 3614 votes, which may be a higher number than the number of kokako left in the wild.

While there were just 660 kokako in 1999, today their numbers have passed 3000.

Among those happy to see the

kokako take the top spot, is Methven tramper Lew Shaw. He fell in love with the slate-grey birds with blue wattles, and a deep organlike five-note call, when he saw them at Hamilton Zoo. The South Island kea, known for its mischievious antics at Mt Hutt and other ski areas, came second,

obtaining 2608 votes. It could be in for a win next year, if it follows in the flight path of the kokako, which came second last year, to the bar-tailed godwit.

Mt Hutt Ski Area manager James McKenzie will be among those voting for the beguiling mountain parrot.

“I think it’s very deserving of the award,” he said.

While kea populations had declined in some areas, their numbers had remained at typical levels on Mt Hutt for the 2016 ski season.

Mt Hutt had donation boxes for the Kea Conservation Trust and this year raised about $200.

Giving back to remember dad

By Janine Holland

Hilary Totty is giving back to Methven after being a recipient of the community’s kindness after her dad, Ian Totty, died a year ago.

L

osing her dad has inspired former Staveley resident Hilary Totty to give something back to the community that supported her family when Ian Totty died a year ago in a tragic accident.

The 31-year-old Christchurch multi-sporter is raising funds for registered charity Methven Care Trust when she runs 27km of the Kepler Trail in Te Anau in December.

Hilary is asking for donations via a Facebook page Rebuild Methven House. The aim is to support the goal to raise $5.5 million and build a new, aged-care facility for the Methven community.

Community stalwart Ian Totty was chairman of Methven Care Trust’s fundraising committee, as well as a staunch supporter of many community projects in the Methven and Ashburton foothills area.

Going public about her family’s loss isn’t easy, but people’s support of the cause helps her focus on something positive.

“As soon as it happened I felt a strong urge to do something to give back. We were incredibly humbled with the support the Staveley and Methven communities gave our whole family when dad died.

“Doing something positive out of this thing that was so very hard for us was important to me and Methven Care Trust was a cause that meant a lot to him.”

Making sport part of the fundraising equation made sense, Hilary said, as it connected her to Ian. “A massive part of dad’s and my relationship was about sport.

Since I was 10, dad travelled around New Zealand taking me to events and had always been incredibly supportive. He loved sport himself and would do anything and everything he could to help me.”

Returning to trail running and other sporting events has been strange without dad at her side.

“I feel his absence at my races. It’s weird because dad’s not there.”

Over the past decade, Ian joined Hilary at Spring Challenge events around the South Island and supported her in two Coast to Coast events.

When Ian died, Hilary was training for the full 66km Kepler race, but shortly afterwards hurt her back and ended up pulling out. “I prolapsed a disk and couldn’t run.”

Surgery in March fixed the nerve that was damaged and affecting the function of her foot.

“I couldn’t even lift my heel one millimetre off the ground and basically had to learn to run from scratch. I started by running 20 metres. It’s been a long way back to running 27km.”

Her first race back saw her roped into a three-person team competing in the women’s Spring Challenge event in September. After joining two days out from the race, Hilary’s team came second out of 190 entries in the six-hour open category. Recently she competed in Methven’s Peak to Pub event coming eighth, a credible result given three months ago she couldn’t run at all.

While the last year has been difficult recovering from a back

injury and processing her grief, focusing on the Rebuild Methven House fundraising project helps her move forward.

“I have always posted a lot of stuff on Facebook about my sport and sponsors, but as far as advertising what happened with dad I didn’t want people to feel sorry for me.

“It took a long time to write the Rebuild Methven House page to make sure it came across right. I think it’s important people know the motivation. I really just want to take a positive outlook and do something that’s outside me.

I’m just trying to give something back.

“It’s got people thinking about it and I’ve also had good feedback from people in Methven saying they think it’s nice that someone young is getting involved.”

Hilary has had exposure to aged care through her work as a dietitian, previously being responsible for nutrition plans for resthome residents in the United Kingdom.

Currently she is involved in menu planning for hospital food services in Canterbury, but has always had a soft spot for the elderly.

In many ways, Hilary feels she’s

benefited by the positive reactions to her fundraising.

“People have been absolutely incredible and this experience has brought me a lot closer to many people. Methven is a place that bands together when needed. I feel like this is such a little thing I am doing, but hopefully it’s raising awareness amongst people who may not otherwise

know about the cause.

“I know that dad would be so proud of this and it’s what he would want. I always knew how much he had done for our community, but when you see it all out there it’s pretty humbling.

“You can always do more. I’d like to help until Methven Care Trust gets to their target. It’s not going to stop in December.”

She was remanded at large until January 31 to enable her to obtain a driver’s licence.

Christopher Michael Boniface, of Ashburton, faced two charges of obtaining money by deception after posting two iPod media players for sale on Trade Me. His victim paid $300 for the two items and transferred the money into Boniface’s account on August 10. However, Boniface never owned the devices and had used photos he had taken from the internet. He told police he’d considered the money a loan and intended to repay it.

He was convicted and remanded at large to enable a restorative justice conference to take place before he returns to court for sentencing on December 12.

Amanda Mary-Anne Townley, 39, of Kakahu, admitted drink driving with an excess breath alcohol level of 898 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath (EBA 898mcg/l).

She was convicted, fined $750, disqualified from driving for six months and ordered to pay court costs of $130.

a result of being convicted on assault charges and breaching a protection order.

An Ashburton man who hit a child was convicted on an assault charge and ordered to come back before the court if called within six months.

The man, who has name suppression, argued with the child over access to information the 12-year-old had posted on a social media site. When the child refused to divulge the password he struck her on the face.

Judge Maze said the material posted was of an “utterly inappropriate nature” and the images had been accessed by more than 400 people.

“The background circumstances were a significant challenge for you to deal with,” she said.

The defendant, who has no previous convictions, had since attended counselling to learn appropriate ways to deal with such challenges. Under the terms of the sentence, the defendant can be resentenced on the charge if he commits a similar offence within six months.

Steven Austen, 50, of Ashburton, admitted two charges of dishonestly using a document.

The court was told Austen had obtained two of nine cheques stolen from an 87-year-old man.

He cashed one to the tune of $2800 and used another to pay for goods worth $580.

Austen, a beneficiary who has recently relocated from the West Coast, was sentenced to 120 hours of community work and ordered to repay his victim’s bank $3380.

■ ITALY

Quake spares lives The third powerful earthquake to hit Italy in two months spared human life yesterday but struck at the nation’s identity, destroying a Benedictine cathedral, a medieval tower and other beloved landmarks that had survived the earlier jolts across a mountainous region of small historic towns.

Lost or severely damaged in the shaking were ancient Roman walls, Gothic and Baroque churches and centuriesold paintings crushed beneath tonnes of brick, sandstone and marble.

Italian Premier Matteo Renzi said the nation’s “soul is disturbed” by the series of quakes, starting with the deadly August 24 event that killed nearly 300 people, two back-to-back temblors on October 26, and the biggest of them all, a 6.6-magnitude quake that shook people out of bed yesterday. It was the strongest quake to hit Italy in 36 years.

There were no reports of fatalities — a fact attributed to the evacuation of sensitive areas and fragile city centres. Nearly 8000 people have been moved to shelters or hotels following the quakes last week and yesterday, and Italy’s Civil Protection agency was expecting that number to reach 11,000.

Many who stayed behind were sleeping in campers or other vehicles, out of harm’s way.

Renzi vowed to rebuild houses, churches and business, saying, “a piece of Italian identity is at stake at this moment”.

The quake struck another painful blow to the rich artistic heritage of villages that dot the Apennine Mountains.

The worst damage was reported in Norcia, a town in Umbria closest to the epicenter. Two churches were destroyed — the 14th century Basilica of St Benedict, built on the traditional birthplace of St Benedict, founder of the Benedictine monastic order; and the Cathedral of St Mary Argentea, known for its 15th century frescoes. Only the cracked facades were still standing, with most of the structures disintegrating into piles of rubble and dust.

Large sections of Norcia’s ancient Roman city walls — which suffered damage and cracks in the previous quakes — crumbled, along with towers.

Amatrice, the town that bore the brunt of destruction on August 24, sustained blows to treasures that had withstood the quakes of the past weeks.

The community’s medieval bell tower stood tall amid the rubble after the August quake, becoming a symbol of hope and resilience for the stricken population. But the latest shaking partially collapsed it.

FBI obtains warrant to search emails The FBI has obtained a warrant to begin reviewing newly discovered emails that may be relevant to the Hillary Clinton email server investigation, a law enforcement official said yesterday.

FBI investigators want to review emails of long-time Clinton aide Huma Abedin that were found on a device seized during an unrelated sexting investigation of Anthony Weiner, a former New York congressman and Abedin’s estranged husband.

The official, who has knowledge of the examination, would not say when investigators might complete the review of Abedin’s emails but said they would move expeditiously.

The Clinton email inquiry, which closed without charges in July, resurfaced when

FBI Director James Comey alerted members of Congress to the existence of emails that he said could be pertinent to that investigation.

The FBI wants to review the emails to see if they contain classified information and were handled properly, the focus of the earlier Clinton inquiry.

Separately, another law enforcement official said FBI investigators in the Weiner sexting probe knew for weeks about the existence of the emails potentially related to the probe of Clinton’s server. A third law enforcement official also said the FBI was aware for a period of time about the emails before Comey was briefed, but wasn’t more specific. In his letter that roiled the White House race, Comey said he’d been briefed

on Thursday about the Abedin emails and had agreed that investigators should take steps to review them.

It was not immediately clear what steps investigators took once the emails were first found to fully advise FBI leaders that additional and potentially relevant messages had been discovered.

The officials were not authorised to discuss the matter by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The timing of Comey’s letter less than two weeks before Election Day drew criticism from Democrats and some Republicans who cast it as unprecedented and as potentially tipping the scales in the presidential race in favour of Republican Donald Trump.

Jimmy C is best known for producing a mural of David Bowie in Brixton which became a shrine to the musician after his death in January.

Presidential race a farce James Ford

NEWS CO-ORDINATOR

Y

ou would be forgiven for thinking the United States presidential race couldn’t become any more farcical than it already has been.

But as we edge alarmingly closer to election day, Hillary Clinton’s campaign has taken its biggest hit yet.

Clinton’s charge for the White House has been knocked off course after authorities revealed a fresh probe into her emails.

Yesterday the FBI obtained a warrant to begin searching 650,000 emails from Huma Abedin, Clinton’s most trusted aide, that were discovered on Anthony Weiner’s laptop.

Weiner is Abedin’s disgraced husband, who was found to have been “sexting” a 15-year-old girl in September.

The implications of this search could be irreparably damaging.

The immense volume of emails means the search to assess if any contain classified information will continue well beyond election day.

This leaves Clinton with the prospect of facing an ongoing investigation as president, should she win.

A Post-ABC Tracking Poll suggests Donald Trump is now just one percentage point behind Clinton.

A week ago, he trailed by 12 points in the ABC/Washington Post poll.

Her lead has been shredded and this fierce battle to the oval office has left both candidates’ reputations in tatters.

Trump’s wrongdoings have been widely exposed by the media throughout this campaign, while Hillary seemingly gathered pace to what many expected to be a decisive victory.

But these latest revelations have changed everything.

If Clinton claims victory on November 8 she will begin her tenure as president with a reputation that has been battered beyond the point of return, while Trump’s reputation has been consistently hammered throughout, mostly of his own doing.

So what will this mean for the world’s only super power?

Either Trump or Clinton will be “the leader of the free world”.

But the faith of those that they will potentially lead is already waning.

Sadly, it’s not just the American public that are left asking how the race arrived at this point.

Due to the US’ size and influence, we will all be keeping a close eye on what has been one of the most fascinating presidential races in history and not for the right reasons.

Setting the record straight on bobby calf footage

Andrew Hoggard FROM THE FARM

Today’s online poll question Q: Are you buying a Lotto ticket this week?

H

elping some reporters – and by extension the general public – understand what was going on with the recently-released bobby calf footage shot by Farmwatch was at times frustrating.

I wasn’t happy with some of the coverage, in particular that some of my comments were cut and pasted and put in the wrong context.

In some cases I was trying to explain my views to reporters who hadn’t even watched the videos.

So I want to set the record straight.

Some media combined footage from last year and last week. My comments were only in relation to the footage covertly filmed in August, and released this month.

I commented last year that I was disgusted by the 2015 scenes that quite rightly ended up with prosecutions in court.

Farmwatch’s recent footage was about six minutes’ worth and showed three scenes of truck drivers loading calves; what appeared to be a farm worker dragging a calf across a paddock by its rear leg, two scenes of farmers in a paddock loading calves into a trailer; a scene of two people on a quad driving up a tanker track with calves in a trailer; and finally two scenes of dead calves waiting for pick-up.

I commented that I found the loading of the calves into trucks to be on the rough side. With mandatory use of loading facilities next year, these type of scenes should hopefully be a thing of the past.

The calf being dragged was unacceptable handling. If I saw that on my own farm I would give the employee in question a severe dressing down and likely disciplinary action would follow.

With the calves being loaded on to calf trailers in the paddock, those farmers didn’t do anything that I don’t do myself. They carefully placed those calves into the trailers. If anyone else feels differently, feel free to let me know.

With the bike towing the trailer, I didn’t see any animal abuse.

Worksafe might be upset with the two people for lack of helmets, but MPI shouldn’t have an issue.

Finally the footage of the slinks:

PRESS COUNCIL We all know that despite our best efforts calves will die during calving. None of the calves in the footage showed any signs of being euthanised; they had died naturally.

It is sad but unfortunately a reality of farming.

If farmers are afraid of putting slinks out for collection, how is that a good thing? It will result in calves being buried on farms, which is a waste and not the best

for the environment.

So while some of the footage showed poor and rough handling, the rest was common farm practice. This is an extremely important nuance that I feel has been missed.

To come out with a blanket condemnation of all the footage, labelling it all as cruelty, would mean condemning the practice of separating calf from mother.

Mashing up footage of standard

farm practice with examples of cruel or rough behaviour is an attempt to mislead, and portray all farming as cruel. So it is extremely important this nuance is highlighted.

Federated Farmers will always condemn animal cruelty where it occurs.

■ HOUSING MARKET

■ MERGER PLANS

New mortgage numbers Sky and Vodafone merger hits a hitch down as market slows New figures indicate the heat is coming out of the housing market with new residential mortgage registrations falling by more than a fifth on the same time last year.

Property insights company myvalocity says the data is further evidence that the market is slowing down.

“Mortgage registrations are a good indicator of the financial performance of the market as it tracks the behaviour of all active buyers rather than just what is actually selling at the time,” said chief executive Carmen Vicelich.

Nationally the number of new residential mortgage registrations slumped by 21 per cent compared to September 2015 with Auckland down 26.2 per cent.

“This is something we have not seen before. The property market is, to some extent, seasonal and traditionally we expect to see a rise in mortgage registrations in spring, however this has not been the case so far this year,” Mrs Vice-

lich said. She said it appeared the Reserve Bank’s loan to value restrictions and a lack of supply was having an impact on the market with the number of active investors down 19 per cent nationally

A proposed merger between Vodafone and Sky could seriously hurt competition in both the telecommunications and pay TV industries, the competition watchdog says.

The Commerce Commission has sent the companies a letter outlining concerns it has over their potential merger and is awaiting their reply. The commission says it is worried ownership of rights to sports events would mean the merged company would be able to make it less attractive to subscribe to just Sky without signing up to Vodafone’s broadband service.

“The commission’s concern is that while consumers may initially benefit from lower prices, rival broadband and mobile providers could lose or fail to achieve scale and become less competitively effective,” it said.

“Over time this could reduce competition in these markets and potentially enable the

For many New Zealanders, the property market is a nightmare.

And some may say those who’ve already got a foot on the ladder shouldn’t complain.

Unless they live on Elm Street.

Some spooky data released yesterday by Homes.co.nz shows that the average cost of a house on Avondale’s Elm Street is a bargain at $675,000 – a horrifying $200,000 cheaper than its suburb average.

And on the 1984 horror film’s namesake in Whanganui it’s

$104,000, 35 per cent less than its suburb average of $163,000.

The average cost of houses on Elm Street for various regions The average cost of a home on Elm Street in Gisborne is $224,000.

That’s a demonic 6.66 per cent less than the suburb average of $240,000.

“This analysis is about as light weight as you could get, but made us laugh so thought it worth sharing around,” Homes.co.nz’s Jeremy O’Hanlon said.

“You just never know what will get you a bargain in this housing market. It makes you wonder if the name Coronation Street would command a premium.”

■ TOURISM

China tourism growth set to accelerate

BY TINA MORRISON China, New Zealand’s secondlargest tourism market, is set for further growth with an extra 20 weekly flights scheduled by the end of this year.

“More than 50 flights operate between China and New Zealand each week but I can tell you by the end of the year, more than 70 flights (will) operate between Auckland, Christchurch and the major cities of China, not necessarily those cities on the east bit of China but also you can go west, go to the hinterland of China,” Zhang Fan, the economic and commercial counsellor at the Chinese Embassy in New Zealand, told the New Zealand Tourism Investment Summit in Auckland. “This certainly gives the consumers of both China and New Zealand more options, more choices and also more competitive prices.”

New Zealand tourism arrivals rose 11 per cent to a record 3.4 million in the year through September, with Chinese arrivals jumping 24 per cent to 406,000, according to the latest data. The conference has been organised by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to help New Zealand businesses better capitalise on burgeoning growth in the Chinese tourism market and encourage Chinese investment in this country’s stretched tourism infrastructure.

Tourism Industry Aotearoa chief executive Chris Roberts said new infrastructure was required to meet expected growth.

“There is investment happening, we just need a lot more of it,” Roberts said. “We are currently experiencing unprecedented growth and there are very good reasons to expect that strong growth to continue. New Zealand undoubtedly

is an attractive place to visit and more and more of the world wants to come here.

“The biggest concern today is a constraint of capital, will there be sufficient investment in time to respond to the demand and to maximise the potential of the tourism growth,” Roberts said.

“New Zealand would benefit greatly from more foreign investment in our tourism industry.”

Still, some Chinese investors have suggested New Zealanders are more reticent to accept investment from their country.

“We are quite aware investment sometimes can be very sensitive in a foreign country, especially here in New Zealand when foreign investors come here to purchase land, however tourism in this country is facing a lot of challenges,” the Chinese embassy’s Zhang Fan said. “Challenges means opportunities.”

■ ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

A grand parade of prize winners Lindsay Trounce with his prize-winning friesian takes part in the grand parade at the Ashburton A&P Show at the weekend.

MARKET REPORT Dairy Soil moisture levels are improving with many rain days in October, and while deep profiles are still dry in North Canterbury, spring feed supplies are now adequate and many paddocks are being saved for supplements.

Low sunshine and high rainfall has degraded the quality of the feed in the Waikato and caused a 14 per cent drop in milk production in that province, and lead the 2 per cent fall nationally in milk flows.

Fonterra has adjusted backwards planned volumes to be sold at auction, and with other exporting countries also reporting production declines, this should help dairy commodity prices continue their upward trend.

Managers are now juggling rotation lengths with the silage harvest, as advisors remind them of the 12-16c/kg dm extra cost of baled silage verse that stored in a pit.

Another milk powder scam has been unveiled in China using Fonterra’s past-useby date product, and while the company’s procedures were found to be followed, this is an unwelcome episode that could damage the quality brand.

Also, further bobby calf abuse claims were exposed by activists using covert videos as the sector is once again reminded the practices of intensive farming are under intense scrutiny.

More bobby calves have been reared this year in spite of the shortages of milk powder, and with export manufacturing beef prospects shaky, some may find poorer types may not be as valuable as last year.

Westland’s chairman Matt O’Regan is to step down in March next year after seven years growing the country’s second largest milk processor, but must first quell the storm of protest awarding a 37 per cent bonus to the CEO, as suppliers suffer one of the most difficult financial years in their history.

Lamb Processors are now starting to ease Christmas chilled meat premiums from the weekly schedules as the shipping deadline looms and the Pound depreciating further, prospects into the important UK market look poor.

Silver Fern Farms has announced plans

to close the Wairoa mutton plant and will only operate one chain at Fairton as land use changes away from sheep have tested the viability of many plants.

Export lamb numbers for the year failed to reach 20 million and were 5.5 per cent down on last year, as were mutton tallies.

Poor profits from sheep, drought and facial eczema influenced stocking decisions.

Wool Despite a more favourable currency, the North Island auction fell to new yearly lows with the coarse crossbred indicator now below 450c/kg clean. Buyers only bought for immediate requirements, amid restricted Chinese interest.

The merino market lifted, with NZ sellers getting a boost in prices by supplying wool in Melbourne in a sale short of Aussie product due to weather induced shearing delays.

Wools of NZ announced they will soon announce a new coarse wool contract that will give certainty to growers in this very uncertain climate.

Beef More easing of beef schedules as processors realign to the weak US market, but they still report prime chilled stock is in good demand driven by shortages out of Australia, although prices will ease as supplies increase.

Silver Fern Farms have reported they have started their added value product prototypes under the Shanghai Maling watch. Many will follow to see if producers will benefit from the partnership, or will the gains be lost to the overseas owner.

Deer Schedules are now reducing as the European chilled program nears the shipping deadlines, and re-adjusts to a frozen supply.

Prospects look strong for improved venison prices over the summer compared to last year, but reduced supply has caused some customer shortages.

Silver Fern Farms is to close their Mossburn plant as a response to these shortfalls, as plant efficiency suffers from the present low through-put.

■ DAIRY INDUSTRY AWARDS

Win provides chance to further career

Thomas Chatfield

The 2016 New Zealand Dairy Manager of the Year firmly believes that winning the competition has given him opportunities he wouldn’t otherwise have been exposed to.

Thomas Chatfield, 31, says the win has opened many doors for him and given him opportunities he wouldn’t have had, such as being asked to talk to the leaders of New Zealand agricultural companies to possible job opportunities.

Entries are currently open for this year’s awards, and Chatfield says people thinking about entering need to relax and be themselves. “Show the judges how you make the farm work and what difference you make to the farm.”

After winning the 2013 Bay of Plenty Dairy Trainee of the Year, Chatfield had a better understanding of how the awards worked and feels that the win, and the experience of competing at the national final, stood him in good stead when he entered for a second time.

“After coming second at the national final, I made a private goal with myself to enter as a manager and win. I didn’t tell anyone about this, but going to the awards and coming second was a strong motivation to come back and go one better.”

Chatfield’s approach to the competitions was simple – little and often.

“I wanted to show the judges how I made the farm work. So, I started to prepare for judging early – doing little things, often.

When I was working on different aspects of the farm, I tried to think of ways I could best present the information, and when I had to make a decision, I noted why I decided that was the best course of action to take for that problem or situation,” he said.

Chatfield still farms on the property he was on when he won farm manager, which is Bruce and Judy Woods’ 150 hectare farm in Whakatane, milking 500 Jersey cows and aiming to produce 200,000kg/ms.

“Aside from opening up doors,

winning the national title provided me with an opportunity to receive free advice on our farming system, and I got to benchmark myself against the best in the industry,” he said.

Entries close for the 2017 New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards on November 30 and Chatfield said there was no point waiting for the right time to enter.

“Just do it. Yes, there is a lot of work involved but it’s no extra work in itself, the process is just highlighting the things you are already doing on the farm and explaining why you do them,” he says.

Good numbers at dog trial events

By Linda CLarke

linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

A good card of competitors made for interesting viewing in the dog trial competition at the Ashburton A&P Show at the weekend.

Numbers were excellent, said organiser David King, with the 145 entries up by 20 on last year.

The turnout included a few novices.

Open triallists were competing for spots in the Tux New Zealand yarding challenge, which will be held at Geraldine in January. Top qualifiers from the weekend were Andy Clark, with Jan, and Garry Woods, with Campbell.

King said the novice winner was Ashburton man Dan Bishop, with Tyke. He also qualified for the Geraldine finals.

Sheep for the two days of competition were supplied by local dog trial champion Mark Copland.

King said the weather was chilly but it was no distraction to the competitors.

Australian clover thrives in trial

Stuart Sinclair collected another ribbon at the Ashburton show with this prize-winning Cheviot.

Sheep breeder wins big Ashburton sheep breeder Stuart Sinclair featured prominently amongst the livestock winners at the Ashburton A&P Show at the weekend.

He had supreme sheep at the show with a south Suffolk, taking home the Donald Letham Memorial, while he also topped the Suffolk and Cheviot sections.

Sinclair’s combined efforts saw him also awarded the John Bonifant memorial cup for most points in the sheep section.

Sheep convenor David Butterick said entries were up across all categories and organisers were pleased. Included for the first time was a category for charolais, with Chris and Annabelle Hampton from Cave making off with most of the prizes.

Butterick said the meat breed was not well known but attracted some interest.

South Suffolk breeders also turned out in force, with the Ashburton show a feature event on their calendar.

Westmere Farming won the

Peter Drummond Memorial Cup for the most points in the Border Leicester section, while J. T. Miles won the T. W. Stevenson Challenge Cup for the exhibitor of the best Dorset Down sheep and Windermere Ltd won the Challenge Cup for most points in the Poll Dorset section.

B. and P. Butterick took home the J. C. Guinness Memorial Cup for the best sheep in the Hampshire section, and the Risingholme Challenge Cup for the most points in the Hampshire section.

J. D. and M. L. Stewart cleaned up in the coloured sheep section while Peter and Dianne Lowe had most points in the Romney section and received the Soundness Challenge Cup. The Stewarts also won the Eskdale Perpetual Challenge for most points in the wool section.

Sam Hughes won the Andrew Letham Memorial Cup for most points in the flock sheep classes and Amelia Chambers won the Wrightson Challenge Cup for the primary school hogget class.

Trials of Australian subterranean clover could help farmers to be more sustainable and save money, says Ara Institute of Canterbury Agribusiness tutor David Mills.

Mills will be showing members of the agribusiness sector and general public around the trial at the Timaru Open Day on Thursday, when the Washdyke campus will be open to the general public for the first time.

The six-month trial has shown five types of subterranean clover to be thriving in the Canterbury conditions.

That’s good news for farmers because the clover is hardy and productive.

“Another local farmer is using it, but it is an unusual seed for New Zealand. We have already had agribusiness partners visiting us here to see the progress.

“Indications from the trial are very promising. It is producing two to three times the volume of other pastures and it produces its own seed so you don’t have to keep replanting pastures.

“Most New Zealand pastures need 30 per cent clover. We are trialling it with different companion plants to see which is the most effective.”

As well as producing more, and self-seeding, the Australian variety is proving more sustainable, as it uses less water resources.

“It is important for us to look at sustainable farming. Subterranean clover thrives in dry conditions so it needs less irrigation and no nitrogen at all. It fixes its own nitrogen.”

Although naturally occurring, nitrogen can be a problem for farming in Canterbury.

High nitrogen levels can be associated with nitrogen leaching into the soil, which can contami-

Sustainability is a core component of practical, farm-based training at Ara. Ara offers Certificates in Agriculture (Farming Systems or Vehicles, Machinery and Infrastructure), Primary Industry Skills and Primary Industry Production Management (Livestock Production), as well as the Diploma in Agribusiness Management.

The Ara Open Day is also an opportunity to explore the Timaru city campus, where visitors can talk to tutors, learn about

the institute’s 150 career-focused study options across all the campuses, and check out updated facilities such as the library, student services area and hairdressing room.

■ ASHBURTON MUSEUM

This Bunz image was copied by Tindall for the 1961 show supplement. It’s a great image with lots of clothes and cars – something for everyone really.

Our rich show history

By Kathleen Stringer

T

his week we are featuring a number of images from our photographic collection.

With over six million photographic frames there’s always plenty of interest to be found in the collection.

It’s a rich and interesting collection that is of huge value to local and national researchers, families and historians.

This was highlighted by our recent article, which featured images from the Tindall collection, and aroused much interest.

The Ashburton Museum team was very pleased when a local person called in recently to tell us that she knew, and could identify, the mystery Adams baby that we featured.

The visitor was the baby’s mother and the baby is now a grandfather!

As I promised, here is another tasting from the smorgasbord of images that we are scanning, cataloguing and processing so that they are readily accessed by our staff and visitors alike.

A&P This week it seemed topical to feature images from the Ashburton A&P Show.

The museum has a collection

of records from the A&P association, which was formed in 1877, that details the months of hard work that went into the various events the association managed.

While the most important was the show, the association also organised other activities, such as a ram fair.

The museum holds a number of images that pertain to the Ashburton show.

Earlier photographs tend to be of crowded showgrounds, committee members or prize-winning animals and the occasional show baby.

Mr Tindall, however, seemed to enjoy taking action shots (especially of horses) and photos of people dressed in the latest fashions.

People obviously went to a lot of effort to dress up to attend the show, so even if you don’t recognise anyone from the images depicted, you may be interested or amused at what the subjects are wearing.

As always, if you can identify anyone in the photos shown, or want to know more, please contact us here at Ashburton Museum – we love filling in the pieces of a puzzle, and if you know a person but don’t have an original, we may be able to assist by providing a copy.

Fun at the fairground in 1961. Prams and push chairs jostle amongst the crowd and even a small noddy train – it certainly was all go.

Above - Beauty contestants from 1968.

Left - A fashion show during the 1963 show. The changing fashion is clearly seen with some wearing hats, while others are wearing sunglasses and less formal attire.

Below - Five fashion followers in 1963.

Above - Among the images are trade displays, this one shows Sid Osborne’s offering in 1961.

Right - A trio of young ladies at the show in 1963.

In brief Tutaia sinks Aussies New Zealand have blown Australia away 41-16 in the final of the Fast 5s netball world series on the back of another prolific points effort from sharp shooter Maria Tutaia at Hisense Arena. Facing a daunting 17-point deficit heading into their last quarter power play, Australia failed to score a single point when double points were on offer.

Tutaia was on fire and amassed 27 personal points, including five three pointers.

Kiwi victory all on Kiwi racer and current championship leader Shane van Gisbergen thinks there is a good chance a New Zealander will lift the Jason Richards Memorial Trophy at this week’s ITM Auckland SuperSprint.

It is mathematically possible that van Gisbergen could win the championship at Pukekohe although his team-mate Jamie Whincup would need to have a particularly bad round. But van Gisbergen says he is just won of a number of Kiwis capable of delighting the big home crowd.

Trophy back in the cabinet

Mid Canterbury’s senior cricket team hit the right line and length to secure a 28-run win and the Ron Biggar Memorial against South Canterbury at the Ashburton Domain Oval on Sunday.

Mid Canterbury batted first and reached 158 before they were bowled out in the 48th

over of the annual match-up.

Richard Print steadied the ship with his 47 off 57 deliveries after Mid Canterbury were 4-65.

Print struck three fours and three sixes before he was stumped by South Canterbury keeper Adam Beck off the bowling of Supeshala Jayathilake.

Juyathilake was the stand-out bowler for South Canterbury as

he took four wickets from his 10 overs.

The innings did not start well for South Canterbury as Print opened the bowling and struck Phil McGregor on the pads to get him out with the first ball of the innings.

McGregor was just one of five wickets Print claimed as Mid Canterbury chipped away at

McCann duo too good in Gala Cup

By Noah Graham

The McCanns walked away overall victors in the Mid Canterbury Gala Cup mixed doubles tennis tournament on Sunday afternoon.

The father-daughter duo of Neil and Tessa were one of five teams in the tournament and won with ease in both their matches to claim overall victory.

The pair faced Peter and Ashleigh Leonard in the final and dominated the first set 6-0 and continued with their momentum to take the second 6-1.

They had faced little resistance throughout the tournament as they won 6-0 and 6-3 in their first match against Connor Brosnahan and Sophie Ness.

It is the second time the pair have won the Gala Cup competition.

In the A reserve mixed doubles, Aiden Watt and Amelia McKeown came out on top as they beat Murphy Dargue and Felicity Pye. Watt and McKeown romped the first set 6-0 and the second set was akin to the first as they saw off Dargue and Pye 6-2 to secure their win.

their line-up to eventually bowl South Canterbury out for 131 in the 45th over.

Man-of-the-match Print claimed five wickets for 22 runs including two maidens off his nine overs.

Mid Canterbury had bounced back from last year after they lost the Ron Biggar Memorial game to South Canterbury by 70 runs.

A four-horse race for second spot in the World Rally Championship has been set up for Coffs Harbour next month, after Volkswagen claimed the manufacturers’ title in Wales. Sebastien Ogier’s sixth win was enough to wrap up the constructor’s championship. Thierry Neuville finished third, putting him 14 points clear of Andreas Mikkelsen, while Hayden Paddon is three points further back. - NZME

Drama in Mexico Daniel Ricciardo has wrapped up third spot in the F1 world championship after a drama-filled finish to the Mexican Grand Prix. Ricciardo crossed the line in fifth, but was elevated to fourth when Max Verstappen copped a five-second penalty after going off track on the fourth last lap. Sebastien Vettel also copped a penalty, pushing Ricciardo to third behind Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. - AAP

In brief

■ MELBOURNE CUP

Race that stops two nations The greatest horse race in the southern hemisphere slips into stride tomorrow at Flemington.

Here’s your online Melbourne Cup guide with a Kiwi flavour ...

Who are the Kiwi contenders in the big race?

There are three New Zealandbred horses running. They are Who Shot Thebarman ($31), Pentathlon ($81) and Rose of Virginia ($81).

Who Shot Thebarman, winner of the 2014 Auckland Cup, is owned by the O’Leary brothers: Dan, Michael, Shaun and Humphrey and is trained by expatriate New Zealander Chris Waller.

This will be Who Shot Thebarman’s third tilt at the Melbourne Cup after finishing third in the 2014 edition of the great race.

Pentathlon is the only Kiwitrained, bred and owned starter in this year’s Cup. Pentathlon is being prepared

by Kiwi training legend John Wheeler from New Plymouth,

M7

and will be ridden by New Zealand jockey Mark Du Plessis.

Rose of Virginia is a former New Zealand-trained mare who has won six races from 37 starts.

Finished 2nd in the Group 1 Auckland Cup (3200m) in March but her best effort in four Australian starts since then was a 4th in the Coongy Handicap (2000m) at Caulfield on 15 October.

Do we have any jockeys in the Cup? Yes, three in total.

They’re James McDonald, riding Hartnell ($5). This is McDonald’s fifth tilt at the Melbourne Cup and he believes it’s his best riding the Cup favourite.

There’s also Michael Walker aboard Almoonqith ($21) and Mark Du Plessis on Pentathlon ($81).

What about Kiwi trainers?

We’ve got two of them this year.

Chris Waller, formerly from Foxton, will saddle up Who Shot Thebarman ($21) and Grand Marshal

James McDonald has the ride on favourte Hartnell. ($35). Our other representative is John Wheeler of New Plymouth who will saddle up Pentathlon.

What time is the race on?

Tune in from around 5pm on the TAB’s Trackside 1 TV channel.

Can I have a history guide?

The Melbourne Cup Carnival is one of the world’s most renowned and successful horseracing events, attracting more than 325,000 racegoers to the Flemington course over four days each year.

It was first run in 1861 for a prize of a gold watch and £170 cash.

The A$6million Emirates Melbourne Cup is the richest prize in Australian sport, and the world’s richest handicap race run over 3200m.

But it’s much more than just a horse race; it is a 155-year old social and cultural tradition that literally brings Australia and New Zealand to a standstill.

What’s NZ’s record in the Cup? In the 155 runnings of the Melbourne Cup, New Zealand-bred horses have won 43, of which 16 were also NZ-trained.

The last New Zealand-bred horse to win the Melbourne Cup was Prince of Penzance in 2015.

Anything else I need to know?

Kiwis still bet big on the Cup. In 2015 the TAB took just over one million bets on the Melbourne Cup. Total TAB turnover on the Melbourne Cup Race last year was $10.39m.

Stayer on home track Thunder Down Under has overcome a minor setback and he will attempt to double his black type tally when he resumes his New Zealand career at Ellerslie today. Last season’s Listed 3YO Salver winner will front up in the Gr.3 OMF Stakes with Trudy Thornton booked to ride the son of Street Sense. Thunder Down Under was battling a foot problem on his return from Sydney, but he has made a pleasing recovery. - NZME

Million contender Further success may come Gary Vile’s way today at Otaki where he takes the covers off one of his very promising youngsters.

Fresh from a home track winning double last Saturday with Miss Appleton and Rock On, the Awapuni trainer is looking forward to the debut of Hard Merchandize in the Hunting & Fishing Otaki 2YO event. “He’s a nice little horse and he’s pretty professional, so we’ve decided to go to the races with him,” Vile said.

“He’s eligible for the Karaka Million and whether he’s that type of horse or not we’ll find out.” - NZME

Ashburton Guardian 19

Taking setbacks in his stride A disrupted preparation hasn’t dimmed Tommy Beckett’s confidence in his Riccarton contender Miss Three Stars.

The Ascot Park trainer will use Plan C at Wingatui today to give

M6

the seven-year-old her final start before the Gr.3 Christchurch Casino New Zealand Cup on Saturday week.

“I was going to run her in a Listed race at Riccarton, but she

banged her head and then we were going to go to Gore,” Beckett said.

“She got 62.5 kilos in the 2000 metre race, but they called the races off. You have to go with the flow so she’ll run over 1400 metres

now. It’s going to be a wet track and she’ll keep whacking away.”

Miss Three Stars will step out in the KB Contractors Handicap, in which she will be ridden by Samantha Wynne.

Tinwald Golf Club Inc.

Mid Canterbury’s very own flying Scotsman Gregor Robertson took victory in Tinwald Cycling Club’s 48km handicap event around the Grahams Road block on Sunday.

Robertson and his co-markers worked hard to find the front with the final result only decided on the line with some 13 riders crossing within seconds of each other.

Barry Begg continued his fine start to the season to secure second place while Gavin Borthwick claimed the final podium position and Brett McGinity, Donald Sutton and Ryan Jackson rounded out the top six.

Scratch marker Bailey O’Donnell secured fastest time honours, riding the course in 66.23secs and Brad Hudson and Michael Templeton took second and third time.

The juniors and division two contested a 16km handicap event.

Lily Davidson celebrated her first start in the big show with a hard-earned win, beating home the charging duo of Jessie Banks and Jenna Borthwick.

Mitchell Fitzsimmons backed up from last week, claiming fastest time honours while Oliver Davidson and Ethan Titheridge took second and third time respectively.

Meanwhile Rachel Russell claimed the major spoils in division two, seeing off the powerful challenges of Les Brown, Jacquie Fitzsimmons, and Hilary Singlewood.

Next week the club will contest a graded scratch event around the Blackbridge block.

Kiwi golfer Steven Alker has scored an amazing a hole-in-one with just his first shot of the day in the final round of the Sanderson Farms Championship PGA Tour event in Mississippi.

The 45-year-old, Waikato-based player hit the par-3 10th hole with a perfect shot that travelled the whole 194m, straight into the cup.

Tuesday, November 15 8pm at the Clubrooms.

Minutes from the 2015 AGM Presidents Report Financial Report Election of Officers General Business Jacqui Beardsley, Secretary Tinwald Rugby Club AGM Tuesday, November 8, 2016 7.30pm

All welcome.

Even the tournament website said the 10th hole was “more challenging than it appears. The hole plays slightly downhill, but most misses are short, not long.”

Alker shot a final round one-under par 71 after opening the tournament with his best round, 69.

The Kiwi also had a hole-in-one at Pebble Beach in February 2015.

Your Stars

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You may get off to a slow start, and perhaps your goal is the thing to blame – not quite big enough to enthuse you. See what happens after you raise the stakes.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): In one mood, you’ll say, “No regrets”. In another mood, there’s a list of things you’d do differently if you could.

Both have merits. The past needs to be examined but it also needs to be released.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’re considerate, and you love to please, but you’re also careful not to waste a lot of effort where it won’t be appreciated. You’ll have impact when your efforts are well-matched to the situation.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Go on and jot down those notes to yourself. You’ll be surprised by your own pen. Also, writing will help you mentally organise yourself even if you don’t save what you’ve written.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): People making hysterical fools of themselves may be in keeping with the day’s shenanigans, and you’ll laugh with the others. You won’t feel complete until you’ve tended to more serious tones, too.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Congratulations: Today you are the solution. Of course, that means that in order to really shine, you need a problem.

Open your helping heart and the perfect one will quickly show up.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’ll speak powerfully and confidently. Your ideas will be a hit, as long as you act on them. Be decisive. Follow through. Don’t ask for permission when you know it’s what’s best for all.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The star of your life is you. Someone else seems to be vying for the part these days. Yes, this person needs care and love, too – but save some for you!

Healthy boundaries are the way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Stay buoyant. The others are counting on you to break the ice, crack a joke, make it fun. The heavy karma will work itself out in a hundred lighthearted exchanges.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): It might not go to plan, but it will all go better because you have a plan. Prioritise consciously before you get into your day, or you’ll wind up serving someone else’s priorities.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): People will work for your approval, ask for your advice and make various attempts for your support. It is no small thing to be respected by your peers.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’ve had to tackle difficulties to get here, and now the challenge is one of your own design – that makes it worthwhile. This is harder than what others would have encouraged you to take on.

Sport More charges for Maurinho Jose Mourinho could face a second Football Association charge in less than a week after he was sent to the stands during Manchester United’s Premier League match against Burnley on Sunday, over comments he made about referee Anthony Taylor prior to his side’s match at Liverpool earlier this month. And the FA is awaiting the referee’s report after Mark Clattenburg apparently sent the Portuguese to the stands at half-time of the goalless draw against the Clarets at Old Trafford.

Adams in the money

Mid Canterbury Primary and Intermediate Schools Singles Tournament 2016 girl’s Year 5 and 6 winner Milly Farrell, 10, is ready to strike the ball with a solid forehand shot that helped her walk away victorious on Sunday.

Juniors in the spotlight

More than 40 tennis juniors battled in the sun last weekend to secure success in the Mid Canterbury Primary and Intermediate Schools Singles Tournament 2016. The Year 3 to 8 primary and intermediate students competed at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre last Sunday and vied for victory in their separate categories.

In the girls’ Year 7 and 8 group Felicity Pye and Amelia McKeown faced off in their final in what was a close match as McKeown beat Pye 5-3 in both sets.

Milly Farrell had little trouble in her matches leading up to the final but Holly-Jayne Feutz made her work for the win.

Feutz took the first set 4-2 and Farrell replied well to take the second set 4-1.

There was little between the two players in the third set as it went to a tie break with Farrell taking it 7-5.

In the girl’s year 4 and 5 Lily Jones beat Libby Feutz 9-2 and struggled slightly against Lucy Farrell but managed to claim the win 9-7.

In the boys’ Year 5 and 6 group Lachlan Adam cruised through his early matches before he came up against Ryan

Watt, but secured a 5-3, 4-2 victory.

Jacob Adam felt some pressure but claimed victory against Arlyn Whittaker 9-3 and beat Jacob Breen 9-5.

In the boys’ novice Year 3 and 4 group Jamie King beat Samuel Pye 6-1 before he moved on to Isaac Adam and won 6-4.

In the final he only just beat Finn Veix with a close scorecard of 6-5.

Testing depth of New Zealand hockey

BY DAVID LEGGAT The changes have been rung in the women’s Black Sticks squad for the inaugural trans-Tasman trophy against Australia in Auckland this month.

The squad of 18 includes eight players having their first action since the Rio Olympics in Au-

gust, and two debutants in Capital midfielder Felicity Reidy, and Midlands defender Kim Tanner.

Several players are making a return, including Auckland attacker Sam Harrison, Central attacker Michaela Curtis and Canterbury defender Jenny Storey.

Retirements and unavailabilities have hurt but coach Mark

Hamilton closes gap on Rosberg P16

Hager is relishing the chance to test the depth in New Zealand hockey.

“It’s a fresh start for us after a tough Rio campaign and we have eight players who played there and are keen to get straight back to business,” he said.

“We’ve named a high quality group with plenty of players

who have the opportunity to put pressure on some of the more senior athletes.”

The senior player is Northland’s Stacey Michelsen, who has 216 caps to her name, while Olivia Merry, Pippa Hayward, Sally Rutherford and Liz Thompson have all played more than 100 internationals.

Adrian Wojnarowski, widely considered one of the NBA’s best scoopers, is reporting that Steven Adams could be set for a whopping $US100m (NZ$140 million) contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Depending on the length of the deal, either four or five years, Adams would become one of the highest paid centres in the league. Earlier this year, ESPN’s Thunder correspondent Royce Young said that Adams could expect a four-year contract in the region of US$15 million a year - a significant rise on the US$3.1 million the 23-year-old is currently on.

Huge step backwards The Black Caps are about to spin the selection wheel after their drubbing in the final one day match in India.

But it was going to happen anyway, according to coach Mike Hesson, as they look ahead to the the 2019 World Cup. Hesson described the 190-run defeat in the deciding match “a huge step backwards” although he emphasised how hard it is to win any form of cricket series in India.

“We lost over 1000 matches from our World Cup squad. We have got 36 ODIs coming up and we will try some different players,” he said.
