■■ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Tight lines drawn on allowances

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton District councillor Stuart Wilson has taken a sideswipe at fellow councillors who turn up at public events where mayor Donna Favel had been invited in her official capacity.

Those councillors who just ‘popped up’ at events should not expect to have any costs reimbursed otherwise it was “just a junket because they didn’t have to do or say anything,” Wilson said.

His question over “pop-up councillors” came during discussions on the council’s policy on elected members’ allowances and reimbursements.

When she reflected on the events she had attended over the past year, Favel said she wanted clarity around her mileage claims and was told by staff that the official business of council was covered but that meetings with constituents were not. The details are spelled out in the council’s policy.

That answer didn’t satisfy Favel.

“There seems to be a blurry line between council business and community leadership.”

Given elected members were encouraged to use council vehicles where possible it appeared that doing this would mean costs were always covered, but if she used her own vehicle they may not be, she said.

Rather than have a council supplied vehicle that became part of her salary package, Favel opted to use her own vehicle and claim mileage.

Questions were also raised over councillors attending out of town forums and meetings and around training.

“A lot of other councils are good at taking councillors with the mayor to meetings and my hope would be maybe once a term one councillor at a time gets the opportunity to attend one of these different events to see what is happening nationally,” Favel said.

They agreed that attendance at those meetings should be rotated

to ensure all councillors had an opportunity rather some attending more events because they had fewer demands on their time.

When it came to training, Neil Brown suggested this did not need to be ongoing for councillors.

Training was needed in the first few months of the new council term; any in the last year was potentially wasted, he sad.

“Some councillors may need training, some may not and some will need more than others. We need to upskill as best and as quickly as possible so we can make good decisions for the community.”

Councillors signed off on the new childcare allowance that is now available for councillors with children under the age of 14. They agreed this should have a cap of $15 per hour with an annual cap of $6000.

The allowance is seen as a contribution towards childcare costs rather than full reimbursement.

Scathing reaction to council’s vaping ban plan

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Smokefree zones might earn a local authority public approval, but when it comes to banning the smoking alternative, vaping, from those zones, public support drops.

On Thursday Ashburton District councillors opted to extend the smoking ban that has been is in effect on sports fields, the Ashburton Domain and in al fresco dining areas, to include vaping.

Councillors were unanimous in their support for a vaping ban, but the Ashburton community was not. Of the 42 comments on the Guardian’s Facebook page, only three supported the move.

The remainder were to varying degrees scathing about the ban.

Ashburton is the first South Island council to ban vaping as part

of its drive towards a smokefree district, although several North Island councils have already made this move.

If the Ashburton community is at odds with the council’s decision, so too is Kiwi owned All New Zealand vaping company director

Jonathan Devery.

The council’s decision, he says, goes against evidence and against the country’s smokefree strategy.

“Ashburton District councillors should’ve considered the scientific evidence first and foremost, not the emotion. We’re seeing coun-

cils up and down the country claim their outdoor vaping bans somehow align with the country’s Smoke Free 2025 ambition. However, in reality, local councils that continue to stigmatise vaping are only hindering national progress,” he said.

He’s calling on the council to overturn Thursday’s finance and business committee meeting motion, a move that the Hamilton City Council took when it overturned a sub-committee recommendation.

If the council supported smokers quitting tobacco, councillors needed to support vaping, not demonise it, Devery said.

“Vaping is the most effective smoking cessation tool and international research shows it has no second-hand impact on others, so what’s the problem?”

Ashburton District councillors had a chance to take a real leadership position in the South Island, and actively support smokers to switch to vaping. Instead they’ve decided to further marginalise them and that’s very disappointing, he said.

In June the Associate Health Minister, Jenny Salesa, launched a ‘vape-to-quit-smoking’ website as part of a concerted public information campaign and that clearly showed the government understood that vaping was critical to smoking rates falling, Devery said.

It appeared a key element of the national Smoke Free strategy was still not understood by many of the city and district councils that viewed and were treating smoking and vaping as the same, he said.

Feeding tips shared at Big Latch On

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Breastfeeding is a natural thing to do, but it is nevertheless a learned skill.

That was one of the wisdoms shared at the Big Latch On held in Ashburton yesterday.

About 15 mums gathered to participate in the annual global event, which was organised locally by Plunket Ashburton and the Breastfeeding Mid Canterbury Support Group.

Among mums participating was Annie Vince, feeding her daughter Addison, 15 months.

She had breastfeeding down pat from day one with Addison, as she was her third child. However, Vince remembered it was not so easy with her first and it took some time to master the latching on process.

“It took nearly 12 weeks to get a good system going, after that it was fine.”

This was thanks to perseverance and plenty of support and tips from others, including the Breastfeeding Mid Canterbury Support Group.

Group peer supporter Stacey Stewart said the Big Latch On was a fantastic event which not only brought mothers together but also raised awareness of the benefits of breastfeeding.

“It’s best for the baby, and it’s cheap and it’s free,” she said.

Local body elections nominations starting to dribble in

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

In less than two weeks nominations for this year’s local body elections will have closed and the public will have its first look at the full line up of candidates.

At the midway point, however, it appears interest in serving the community is lagging, with just nine nominations lodged. On Friday four more names were thrown in the ring, one from a new candidate, John Falloon for the council’s urban ward.

Falloon will contest the Ashburton ward of the Ashburton District Council. As a four-decade Ashburton resident who had raised a family and run a successful accounting business in the district, Falloon said he was keen to use his experience around the council table. His focus, he said he was on spending

rates money wisely and getting the basics right.

Sitting councillor Liz McMillan is the first to lodge a nomination for the council’s western ward. She is a first time councillor having previously served time on the Methven Community Board as a member and later as its chair.

Current community board chair Dan McLaughlin has shown he is willing to seek another term and also lodged his nomination yesterday.

Another sitting councillor, first termer Lynette Lovett is also standing, as a candidate for the eastern ward.

When nominations closed in 2016 there were 38 people seeking seats around the Ashburton District Council, Ashburton Trust and Methven Community Board tables.

Up until the final moment, the

district’s mayoralty appeared to be the only issue for which there would be no election. Sitting mayor Angus McKay was probably getting comfortable with the idea of a third term in office, when with just minutes to go sitting councillor Donna Favel threw her hat in the ring.

This is the first year the election will be for a reduced number of seats in two of the council wards.

In the urban ward, the number of councillors has moved from seven to five, with a reduction from three, to two in the eastern ward. The western ward is unchanged at two.

And when it comes to the mayoralty, both sitting mayor Donna Favel and first time challenger Tony Todd have indicated they will stand but their nominations have yet to be lodged, leaving just one confirmed candidate.

Ruralco prize winners found The winners of $250,000 prizes from the Ruralco Big Draw competition have been found, with a couple who expected to win a fire extinguisher walking away with a Ford Mustang.

A total of 56 prizes were awarded on Thursday night, with more than 250 people gathering at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre for the big draw.

The competition was held to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Ruralco Instore Days with a prize pool worth more than $250,000 – was conceived over 12 months ago by Ruralco Group CEO, Robert Sharkie.

“We knew we wanted to make the 25th anniversary Instore Days truly memorable.

The support of our suppliers and strength of our network enabled us to give away 56 fantastic prizes including, a Mustang EcoBoost sports car, a Fi-Glass Dominator boat and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle,” he said.

The Ford Mustang, which is worth approximately $60,000, was won by Peter Holmes.

“I’m still in a state of shock,” Holmes said after the win.

“I can’t believe this is our car.”

Peter and wife Raylene are dairy farmers from Lowcliffe and are long-time members of Ruralco.

“I came here tonight thinking we’d be lucky if we won a fire extinguisher and we’ve won this sports car. I’m blown away; although I’m not sure we’ll get the grandchildren’s car seats in,” Raylene Holmes said.

Over the two days of the Instore Days, Ruralco suppliers offered pre-advertised specials and unique event deals tailored to the needs of members.

The event is held annually in early July and this year saw more people through the doors than ever with the event catering for over 2000 people.

This year the Ruralco Instore Days saw turnover through the store, farm supplies and seed sales almost double on previous years.

For every $250 spent, members received entry into the Ruralco Big Draw. The Ruralco Big Draw was conducted under police supervision and scrutinised by the BNZ.

Private well owners urged to test drinking water for nitrates

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Canterbury Medical Officer of Health Alistair Humphrey is reminding Ashburton District residents who rely on private drinking wells to test their water for nitrates.

Unlike operators of community water supplies, those on private wells have no legal requirement to have their drinking water assessed.

Yet private wells, particularly shallow bores, present the most risk when it comes to having high nitrate concentrations.

There has been much discussion on what constitutes safe nitrate levels recently following a recent ground-breaking Danish study showing Danes exposed to nitrate levels above 0.21 milligrams per litre of water had a 15 per cent greater risk of colorectal cancer.

Environment Canterbury has since asked the Minister of Health David Clark to prioritise research into the relationship between nitrate levels and colorectal cancer, and Humphrey backs this call.

Humphrey said no records were kept of what proportion of well owners tested their water, but he was aware that many people did not, and some had the attitude that because they had drunk the water from the well for many years it was fine.

Pregnant women were reminded to test, due to the risk of blue baby syndrome, through their GPs and midwives, but many others gave little thought to testing.

He advised people to test their water at least annually.

The current maximum level of nitrate-nitrogen as set in the national drinking water standards is 11.3 milligrams per litre.

Nitrate levels are increasing over the decades as groundwater is affected from

Alastair Humphrey leaching which occurred in previous years.

The majority of Mid Canterbury is classified by Environment Canterbury as having a moderate risk of having high nitrate concentrations, with some areas, including east of State Highway One between the Ashburton and Rakaia Rivers, as having a high risk.

“It’s a challenging issue for the rural community that the levels of nitrate are increasing, and that seems to be directly correlated with the number of cows on pasture,” Humphrey said.

Private laboratories such as Hill Laboratories and Christchurch CC Laboratory have facilities in Christchurch, and clients can contact them and organise to send samples.

Hill client services manager South Island branch Craig Radford said nitrate testing alone cost $32 plus GST, which included supplying the sampling kit, but not the return courier.

Positive news for Brown Pub

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

The owners of Methven’s iconic Brown Pub are pleased to finally get some positive news after their insurance company approved repairs to the building following a serious fire at the start of last month.

The fire damaged a large section of the building’s roof, and the repair job has become even bigger due to water damage in the kitchen and restaurant section of the pub.

“It is a lot bigger than we first imagined as we are going to have to strip out the kitchen and the restaurant,” owner Deb Den Baars said.

“So, early in the new year, we will shut that down for around two months and get that done.

“At least we have got some positive news.”

Den Baars said once repairs are complete it will look much the same as before the fire, with some internal improvements, and it will still have the same Brown Pub feel.

“It is going to be a lot warmer, newer and safer but it will still be the Brown,” she said.

Pricing is currently being done

on the project, with the owners looking to use all local designers and workers, like Snowfed Builders who had been on site since day one.

A large amount of scaffolding has been set up around the building, and Den Baars said yesterday that they were hoping to complete the shrink-wrapping of the roof before bad weather arrived.

While it might look different on the outside, Den Baars said it is still the same pub inside and that the regulars were enjoying being back.

“All the people that come to the Brown are happy it is still here and we are still doing meals, we have a fantastic chef and we were in for dinner last night and it was fantastic,” she said.

“There might be some people getting put off by all the scaffolding out the front but don’t be, come on in.”

The fire took place on the morning of July 2 and was responded to by fire crews from Methven, Ashburton, Rakaia and Christchurch.

It was believed to have been caused by a chimney fire, and kept the main street of Methven closed for most of the day.

Right – A large amount of scaffolding now surrounds the Brown Pub as repairs get under way.

What do the Reserve Bank cuts mean for bank term deposits?

Consider your options in this low interest rate environment.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand lowered the Official Cash Rate in May to the lowest level it has ever been, whilst indicating further rate cuts ahead.

Banks have followed suit and, depending on the amount invested, their term deposit interest rates are now around 3% before tax. This can leave investors considering their options.

DHB budget blow-out staggering

By Boris Jancic

NZME

A budget blow-out across District Health Boards has grown by a staggering $112 million, or 36 per cent, in a single month to more than double what it was the same time last year.

All but one of the country’s 20 DHBs were in the red for the 11 months to May, with their total deficit rising to $423 million, latest financial results from the Ministry of Health show.

At the same time in May 2018, the deficit was $204 million.

It’s now expected the total deficit by year end, in June, will be $508 million – compared with Treasury and Ministry forecasts of $390 million just months ago.

The Ministry noted budgets were expected to take major oneoff hits for compliance with the Holidays Act and write-offs of its troubled National Oracle Solution IT system.

The figures were published yesterday after Health Minister David Clark was accused of

Health Minister David Clark stalling their release.

In its report, the Ministry also attributed the situation to personnel, service, clinical supply and infrastructure costs, and payments to other providers.

Southern Canterbury District Health Board was the only authority to break even.

DHBs are struggling with rising populations and growth in the number of patients requiring more complex health services,

Vodafone New Zealand says its new ownership means it can execute a New Zealand-centric strategy while retaining a close relationship with the global Vodafone Group.

“I think we have created the best of both worlds,” chief executive Jason Paris told Business Desk shortly after Infratil and Canada’s Brookfield Asset Management officially took over as owners.

“We have long-term investors with a great track record in Infratil and Brookfield, who have bought into our strategy and want to accelerate it,” he said.

The New Zealand business has “maintained a very strong relationship with Vodafone Group.”

Among other things, Vodafone New Zealand can retain the Vodafone brand, its roaming relationship with the group and procurement rights, said Paris.

year, Paris said the network is future-proofed.

The government is working towards holding the first auction of 3.5 GHz band spectrum next year, with the national rights available for use in November 2022.

A cabinet paper issued in February on the allocation of radio spectrum for 5G mobile said officials have identified 390 megahertz of spectrum that could be allocated in the 3.5 GHz band.

Paris said his understanding was that Spark also wanted 100 megahertz. He wasn’t sure how much 2degrees would want and said that the government might ring-fence some for a possible fourth entrant.

The next port-of-call for investment will be on the services front, Paris said.

“We are going to do a big play in service. Our customer service isn’t where it needs to be at the moment and hasn’t been for quite some time.”

Weaker sales leads to Comvita loss Comvita says it posted a full-year $7.6 million after-tax operating loss after sales in China were weaker than expected.

In May, the honey marketer had forecast a full-year loss of $6 million due to its third poor harvest in a row.

The weaker result was mostly due to a sales shortfall in June because of new requirements placed on daigou sales channels into China and disruptions from riots in Hong Kong, the company said yesterday.

Infratil and Brookfield bought the business for $3.4 billion. Its first move after that was to announce plans to switch on a 5G network in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown in December.

Paris said the new ownership will open up other doors for the telco.

With Infratil and Brookfield as owners “we can execute a 100 per cent New Zealand-centric strategy,” Paris added.

According to Paris, getting set up for the roll-out of 5G involved “tens of millions of dollars,” but it wasn’t new investment.

Paris said work had been underway to prepare the 4G towers to handle the heavier 5G kit and 120 would be up and running initially.

Vodafone bought some existing 3.5 gigahertz spectrum as part of the deal to buy TelstraClear in 2012. While the firm will have to relinquish that when the government auctions the spectrum next

“Some DHBs manage to post small surpluses, break even or only post small deficits while maintaining services. It can be done,” he said.

higher personnel costs and ageing infrastructure that requires a large cash injection.

In a statement, Clark said the shortfalls were the result of years of underfunding by the previous government.

But he said the Government did not accept deficits were inevitable.

The Government had put up $695 million of extra funding for DHBs in the May Budget along with capital funding for cashstrapped boards, he said.

The 20 DHBs were given $13.98 billion in May, compared with $13.24 billion last year.

Clark has previously warned them to tighten their belts.

National Party health spokesman Michael Woodhouse this week accused the Minister of holding back the figures because they showed the Government was failing to rein in the deficits.

While Clark received the data on June 21, he officially refused to release it to Woodhouse last week.

On Thursday, the Minister told reporters he had not been aware the information had been sitting in his office for six weeks and would immediately sign it off.

The Auditor-General in June raised concerns that in only a few years to 2018 the situation had deteriorated from just a handful of DHBs being in debt to the vast majority.

Comvita shares fell 0.7 per cent to $3.03, taking their loss this year to 36 per cent.

The company embarked on a strategic review in June and is seeking a replacement for chief executive Scott Coulter, who is due to depart in September.

Yesterday’s figures are not audited and compare with the $9.3 million after-tax operating profit the firm reported for the June 30, 2018 year.

Comvita said it traded profitably during the June quarter and delivered positive operating cash flow for the full year. It didn’t provide details.

It said operating profit after tax at the brands business was $2.8 million in the June quarter. The China distribution joint-venture it took control of in April is also trading profitably, it said.

Comvita said its net debt at the end of June was down to $89 million, from $103 million at December 31 and $91.8 million a year earlier.

Inventory, excluding China, stood at $110 million. A comprehensive internal review showed no material issues with inventory valuation, the company noted.

■■TALBOT CHEESE

Synlait wraps up Talbot cheese buy-out Synlait has completed its purchase of Talbot Forest Cheese and its Temuka cheese-making plant.

The Dunsandel milk processor has acquired the property, plant and equipment at Temuka and taken on Talbot staff, as of August 1. The artisan factory and deli shop in Geraldine has been retained by Talbot founders Paul Fitzsimons and Angela Veale, who will continue to make specialty cheese under another label.

Synlait CEO Leon Clement said the company was pleased to welcome the Talbot Forest Cheese employees into the Synlait family.

“The acquisition enables us to manufacture a variety of cheese products. It also helps us optimise our manufacturing assets (especially during peak seasonal flows), access new profit pools, and align with our approach to run a high-quality, flexible dairy manufacturing plant that enables us to tailor product to meet

customer needs.”

Synlait announced last year it was acquiring Talbot Forest Cheese as part of a move to grow the “Everyday Dairy” market in New Zealand and overseas.

It has appointed Andrew Bull as general manager of Talbot Forest Cheese.

Bull said Fitzsimons and his team had created a legacy that he was privileged to lead. “We have

talented staff, world class assets and award winning cheeses that provide a strong foundation for growth in both the speciality and foodservice sectors.”

Bull said Synlait planned to produce around 5000 tonnes of cheese during the 2019-2020 season.

“Our highly automated plant is capable of manufacturing both dry and brine salted prod-

ucts, including parmesan, cheddar, gouda and mozzarella for both retail and foodservice customers. In addition, we have retained the ability to make open vat cheeses such as haloumi and feta, which are extremely popular.”

These products, along with ingredient cheeses made to customer specifications, will be sold to the local and international wholesale markets.

Bull previously worked for Fonterra where he held a number of technical and leadership

roles across a variety of business units, including leading the turnaround of a manufacturing site.

Prior to Fonterra, he ran his own business delivering project and asset management consultancy services to industrial clients. He has worked in a range of industries in New Zealand and offshore.

Bull holds a Bachelor of Engineering Degree from the University of Canterbury as well as a Graduate Diploma in Arts (Psychology) from the University of Auckland.

Business Estate the ideal home for your The Ashburton Business Estate is one of the Ashburton District’s huge success stories.

It is a fully serviced 80 hectare commercial and industrial development located north-east of the Ashburton town boundary and is designed to provide land for light and heavy industry and commercial businesses well into the future.

In just eight years, however, it has become a well sought after place to do business, with most sections in stage one sold, if not yet built on.

The estate has been developed by the Ashburton District Council to provide a well-planned and serviced development option for businesses looking to come to the district and for local businesses looking to expand their operations.

With its first industrial park, Riverside, getting low on sections, the Ashburton District Council decided to begin the development of farmland it owned on the north-east of Ashburton.

The idea was to progressively

develop the 80 hectare block into a variety of section sizes in three stages.

To ensure the park environment was pleasant for businesses of all sectors, an area at the northern end, towards Silver Fern Farms plant, was set aside for heavy industry.

The size and shape of the sites can also be customised to meet specifications.

The park offers some of the lowest price industrial zoned land in Canterbury with low water rates and low rates.

Ashburton’s business park is more than an industrial development, however.

It is surrounded by paved walkways and is well landscaped providing excellent opportunities for people working in the area to run or walk during their lunch break.

The grassed areas are also popular recreational spaces for dog walking or people who just want an attractive place to exercise.

For business owners or staff there are also opportunities to live close to their workplace with clusters of lifestyle blocks surrounding the park.

The business park is on track to become a complete neighbourhood of its own with plans on the drawing board for a café/restaurant.

Rural Transport continues to expand Mid Canterbury’s Rural Transport Limited is now well established in the Ashburton Business Estate.

The company’s five-hectare block on Northpark Road purchased in 2006, has ensured there has been plenty of space for its growing enterprise. Rural Transport Limited opened at the site in 2014. The facility includes a 560 square metre office block, and a warehouse that has recently been increased in size to accommodate the tenants that now occupy the premises.

Seven bulk grain storage silos are located on the property with storage hired to several local companies.

General manager Jim Crouchley said the new location had enabled the company to be part of the advantages the business estate offered.

“We are very pleased to be in this location and take benefit from the development in the area,” Crouchley said. The site was highly accessible and located within minutes of the rural hub of Ashburton, just off State Highway 1.

“We have watched with interest as many companies have moved in to the area in recent times,” Crouchley also said.

The Ashburton facility is the hub for the company’s freight activities, which services rural clients and transports around the South Island. Rural Transport, which also has branch depots at Kurow, Fairlie and Waimate,

offers commercial storage in its silos and warehouse at the site.

Rural Transport has strong historical ties to the Ashburton area as it evolved from a transport heritage stretching back more than eight decades.

The company name of Rural Transport Ltd was established in 2004 as a new corporate entity,

Hanan Shield on the line Mid Canterbury’s senior rep netballers are off to Waimate this weekend, and they’re hoping to have some silverware to bring home.

Erin Tasker reports.

As the minutes ticked away in the final game of last year’s Hanan Shield netball tournament, Mid Canterbury coach Claire Tappin was sideline doing some rapid calculations.

That’s how close last year’s tournament was, and when the three teams that contest it every year head to Waimate for the 2019 instalment tomorrow, it’s likely to be a similar story.

But this time, Tappin hopes it’s her side that comes out on top.

Last year, North Otago took it out, and with their turn to host just around the corner, Mid Canterbury would love to take the sought-after prize off them.

“We are hosting next year so we would love to be defending the shield,” Tappin said.

This year South Canterbury are playing host to the tournament in Waimate, and they’ll take on North Otago in the first game of the tournament tomorrow morning, before Mid Canterbury and North Otago battle it out, leaving Mid Canterbury and South Canterbury to battle it out at the end.

Whichever team can take two wins from their two games, will take it out, and if no team manages to win both of their games, that’s when the calculators will need to come out.

Tappin and her team are hoping to avoid the mathematical ending this year and make it easy by just winning their two games, and they think they’ve got the team to do it.

It’s a relatively new-look side, with only a couple of players with past Hanan Shield experience in the mix, including new captain Leanne Clemens.

As well as taking on the captaincy, Methven A’s Clemens will play a key role in the shooting circle.

An accurate shooter with strong circle movement, Clemens could be joined in the circle by a couple of other shooters tomorrow, depending on how it all plays out.

United A shooter Olivia McLennan is also a strong and accurate goal shoot, while Brooke Coad is another good shooting option at goal attack, and Caitlin Adlam provides versatility with her ability to play both in the shooting circle and mid-court.

Tappin is also spoilt for choice at the other end of the court, with two specialist goal keepers on the books.

“Sophie (Worsfold) and Sammy (Holden) in that circle are very exciting and the fact that you can add Rachel (Curd) in there, too, is great,” Tappin said.

In the mid-court, Methven A’s Anita Watson would take on a leadership role and effectively run that area of the court, Tappin said.

The entire squad greatly benefited from a rare opportunity of a lead-in tournament, played last weekend in Lincoln, Tappin said.

At the annual Field Days tournament, Mid Canterbury took on Selwyn, North Canterbury, Hurunui and Kaikoura and came away with mixed results, but with exactly what they set out to achieve ticked off.

Anita Watson will be an integral part of Mid Canterbury’s mid-court at the Hanan Shield tournament tomorrow.

PHOTO HEATHER MACKENZIE 210719-HM-0164

As an invitational side, they weren’t eligible to win it anyway, and Tappin said it had been more about experience and getting combinations right heading into the Hanan Shield tournament, rather than winning.

“It’s going to be physically demanding and that’s where it was really good that we had the chance to run the whole squad last weekend,” Tappin said.

The Hanan Shield tournament, no matter how much teams change from year to year, is always a tough tournament which went down to the wire.

“We are playing against players that have a lot of clever ideas and you have to be able to adapt to clever minds, so you need to have more than one trick up your sleeve,” Tappin said.

Little is known about what South Canterbury and North Otago will put out on the court tomorrow, but Tappin and her players know that no matter what, they’ll be tough opposition.

“The rumour is that the South Canterbury team is a bit of a last-minute mash together.

“But they do that every year I think, so we are not taking too much notice of that,” Tappin said.

The biggest challenge for Mid Canterbury may come in the tournament’s format.

The games are one hour long, with 15 minute quarters as opposed to the 10-minute quarters they play in Mid Canterbury Netball’s premier competition.

As well as that, there’s also a very quick turnaround.

Mid Canterbury’s first game is at 10.30am

against South Canterbury, and their second against North Otago is at midday.

By the time you take quarter breaks into account, that doesn’t leave long between the two matches, so the day is set to be a real test in terms of fitness.

But Tappin has every confidence in her players.

She said her team’s performances in Lincoln last weekend, followed by a good training this week have put Mid Canterbury in a good position.

“We’ve practised everything we need to practise.”

Now, they just have to go out on the court and put it all together.

Methven’s Leanne Clemens is the captain of this year’s Mid Canterbury netball team.

Missile tests raise tensions AP North Korea fired what appeared to short-range ballistic missiles twice yesterday into the sea off its eastern coast in its third round of weapons tests in just over a week, South Korea’s military and presidential office said.

The increased testing activity is seen as brinkmanship aimed at increasing pressure on Seoul and Washington over stalled nuclear negotiations.

North Korea also has expressed frustration at planned US-South Korea military exercises, and experts say its weapons displays could intensify in coming months if progress on the nuclear negotiations isn’t made.

By test-firing weapons that directly threaten South Korea but not the US mainland or its Pacific territories, North Korea may also be trying to dial up pressure on Seoul and test how far Washington will tolerate its bellicosity without actually causing the nuclear negotiations to collapse.

Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the launches were conducted at 2.59am and 3.23am from an eastern coastal area and said the projectiles flew 220 kilometres on an apogee of 25 kilometres and at a max speed of Mach 6.9.

South Korea’s presidential office, which held an emergency meeting presided over by chief national security adviser Chung Eui-yong to discuss the launches, said the South Korean and US militaries shared an assessment that the projectiles were likely newly developed short-range ballistic missiles the North has been testing in recent weeks. However, the of-

Perry has to pay $4.24m Katy Perry, her collaborators and her record label must pay more than $US2.78 million ($NZ4.24 million) because the pop star’s 2013 hit Dark Horse copied a Christian rap song, a jury decided Thursday. It was an underdog victory for rapper Marcus Gray, a relatively obscure artist once known as Flame whose 5-year-old lawsuit survived constant court challenges and a trial against top-flight attorneys for Perry and the five others who wrote her song. But the amount was less than the nearly $20 million sought by attorneys for Gray and his two co-writers on the 2009 song but they said they were pleased with the decision.

People watch a TV showing an image of North Korea’s multiple rocket launch during a news programme at the Seoul Railway Station in Seoul, South Korea.

PHOTO AP fice said further analysis was needed because the projectiles showed similar flight characteristics with the weapons that the North test fired on Wednesday and described as a new rocket artillery system.

Kim Eun-han, a spokesman for South Korea’s Unification Ministry, said the Seoul government expressed “deep regret” over launches that it believes could hurt efforts for peace on the Korean Peninsula.

Japan’s Defense Ministry said it was analyzing the launch and that the projectiles did not reach Japanese territorial waters or its exclusive economic zone.

The North fired short-range ballistic missiles on July 25 and

conducted what it described as a test firing of a new multiple rocket launcher system on Wednesday.

Amid the stalemate in nuclear negotiations with the United States, North Korea has significantly slowed diplomatic activity with the South while demanding Seoul turn away from Washington and proceed with joint economic projects that have been held back by US-led sanctions against the North.

The North’s new launches came as the United Kingdom, France and Germany – following a closed UN Security Council briefing – condemned the North’s recent ballistic activity as violations of UN sanctions and urged Pyongyang to en-

gage in “meaningful negotiations” with the United States on eliminating its nuclear weapons.

The three countries also urged North Korea “to take concrete steps toward its complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation” and said international sanctions should remain in place.

US officials have downplayed the threat of the launches to the United States and its allies.

However, the North’s recent weapons demonstrations have dampened the optimism that followed President Donald Trump’s impromptu summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on June 30 at the inter-Korean border.

Town evacuated amid fears of dam collapse NZME Thousands of residents in the Derbyshire town of Whaley Bridge have been evacuated amid fears a dam could collapse after it was damaged by floodwaters.

Concrete panels on one side of the dam on the Toddbrook Resevoir, which holds back 300 million gallons of water, partially collapsed.

By 2.30pm on Thursday it was deemed too unsafe for people in the village below, who were ordered to “evacuate your property now”.

There are concerns the village could be levelled if the dam, which dates to 1838, gives way.

Paul Nash and his partner Janet Williams barely had time to grab their cat and a few essentials before being forced to abandon their home.

They cannot know when –

British police have ordered the evacuation of a town of 6500 residents in northwest England amid fears flooding could cause a dam to collapse.

PHOTO AP or if – they will see it again. “If the whole dam goes, it’s going to cause absolute chaos,” he said.

“Probably the village will go, because it [the river] goes

straight through.”

The couple joined an exodus of more than 6000 people fleeing the centre of Whaley Bridge as the concrete dam began to crumble.

The blotched notices hastily handed out by the emergency services left no room for doubt. “EVACUATE your property now”, they read, “Take any medication and medical equipment with you.”

As the heavens opened once more, the centre of the picturesque Peak District community was a ghost town, save for the sound of police going door to door, trying to coax out every last resident from the “red” danger zone.

Evacuees were told to gather at a school three miles away in Chapel-en-le-Frith while engineers began pumping water out of the reservoir to take pressure off the stricken dam.

It will take an estimated three days to reduce the volume to a safe level.

Experts are divided as to whether the concrete and earthwork structure will survive that long.

Hathaway’s conception hell Hollywood star Anne Hathaway has opened up on the torment of trying to conceive and the cone of silence that surrounds infertility. The actress recently announced via Instagram that she and husband Adam Shulman are expecting their second child, but made it clear that she did not enjoy a ‘straight line’ to her pregnancy. “For everyone going through infertility and conception hell, please know it was not a straight line to either of my pregnancies. Sending you extra love,” read Hathaway’s post, which accompanied a photo of her proudly showing off her new baby bump.

Smith to open for Van Ness New Zealand comedian Justine Smith charmed Queer Eye star Jonathan Van Ness, with the TV star asking Smith to open for his NZ shows. For the fourth season of Queer Eye stars Van Ness, Bobby Berk, Karamo Brown and Tan France spoke to The Project NZ, answering questions from Smith, Kanoa Lloyd, Wallace Chapman and Mark Richardson. But it was Smith who truly won over their hearts, particularly Van Ness, who found Smith so hilarious that he wanted to hear her stand-up routine.

“Can we just stop doing this interview while you just say funny stuff to us for the rest of the time?” he asked.

OUR VIEW

Let the election games begin ...

T

here’s every indication that this year’s local body elections could be one of the most interesting in the history of the Ashburton District Council.

The council, formed in 1989 through the merger of the Ashburton Borough and County Councils, has traditionally been marked by elections that have often been begging for candidates.

On occasion there have been wards where no elections have been held, times when a mayor has been returned unopposed.

That’s clearly not going to happen this time round.

Already we have two new hats in the mayoral ring, and while she’s still to lodge a nomination, incumbent Donna Favel’s

hat is already likely to be there too. Add to that at least one more tipped to be a contender and it will be game-on in the lead up to October 12, election day.

A mayoral election always creates a buzz and brings out the voters. And this time, if all the tipped candidates follow through with a nomination, we’re likely to see some hot campaigning and plenty of community interest.

What’s always a puzzle when

election time rolls around is the games that candidates play when it comes to showing their hand.

Some want to be first to show, others want to hold until they see what the opposition is doing and others, as current Mayor Favel did last time round, keep quiet until the final minute and then drop a nomination bombshell.

It’s all about impact.

For anyone considering standing for a local body, one would assume the toughest decision is whether or not to stand. In the perfect world, that decision would be made several months ahead of election day and the would-be candidates should then start building up a great store of knowledge on every issue

relating to which ever issue they are standing for.

And there’s no excuse for being shy about that decision. You’re either in or you’re not. If you’re dicking around trying to make your mind up then chances are it’s not for you.

Standing for any local body position is a serious commitment. Of course you won’t know everything about the job on day one, but if you’re worth a vote or two, you should certainly know most of the basics about most current issues.

There’s a wealth of information on websites and in council or licensing trust archives. You only need ask. And of course there are the regular public meetings to

attend in person or as in recent weeks, to watch live streamed.

And yet you see it every election, candidates who win a seat on the coattails of a cause, but who have no real idea what they’re there for or what the council really does. There are no excuses for that.

Councillors or trust board members get paid for what they do, they’re running our district, they’re using our rates money, in the case of the council, and we have every right to expect them to do the job they’re elected to do.

Just being one of the silent minority doesn’t cut the mustard.

If we give you a vote, we expect you to do the job.

TV or not TV? ... that is the question

L

ike most relationships, we started out pretty solid.

For a start I wasn’t seeing anyone ‘cos, well, ... we hadn’t been introduced.

In fact, nobody was seeing anyone then because that was the fifties, then the sixties arrived and so did television.

Suddenly everyone saw a lot of everyone. Relationships were formed.

The entertainment world exploded in a tiny corner of your living room in scratchy, grainy, yet glorious black and white.

Just one channel mind, and only for limited hours in any day.

And, like all of us, (except the odd ferocious abstainer), the relationship between ourselves and the tele grew rapidly until we basically became welded to it.

The 6pm news was intrinsically the anchor that everything was built around. Everyone with a pulse turned the tele on by 6pm to watch the news.

Bill Toft, Philip Sherry. If you recognise these names you weren’t born yesterday.

Then two channels, telethons, colour and eventually private television and the Sky network.

More channel selection than you could poke a remote at.

Entire families’ body clocks and habits became entwined with what was happening on the box. Coronation Street. If that programme had been a religion it’d surely would have been New

Peter Mac

PETE’S PERSPECTIVE

Zealand’s number one. To miss an episode was unimaginable.

But, like too many relationships that start out well, the special bond between me and television is starting to come unstuck.

TV has grown one way and I have gone in another.

I’d like to say, like an old girlfriend, “it’s not you, it’s me.”

But if I’m really truthful and dig deep, I think it really IS you – television !

See the problem here to be blunt is two-fold.

1. You’re full of sh*t.”

2. I’ve matured.

To be fair there are still remnants of the spark that attracted us to each other in the first place.

I won’t do a shopping list because that would be tedious.

But I can quote one example which shows you as the classy, clever, informative, entertaining, relevant, organic viewing delight you can be. When you set your mind to it.

Grand Designs. A giant slice of life worth living right there.

Whether it’s Kevin McLeod so eloquently hosting the English version or the equally fabulous

New Zealand and Aussie spin-offs, that programme has substance and value. It’s real. It has grit, it has drama. Dream, struggle, payoff. Without the BS! The problem with another, very loosely connected, building show, is that I left kindergarten when I turned five-years-old.

The people on The Block NZ are still there.

What an absolute crock of bull dust. A fabricated, orchestrated, thinly-veiled piece of nothingness.

Tradies doing the real work, idiots smashing out atrocious paint jobs, and to cap it all off, juvenile party games and fluffy, frothy, brain-dead interactions which apparently some people find entertaining.

My wife is one of them. Under questioning, she “likes the body language”.

I tried leaving the room and heading to the bedroom to read, but 7.30 seems a ridiculous hour to hit the sack. So I stand at the sink and suffer in the background, wishing, like Mr Bean, I could stuff socks, chewing gum – anything in my ears to make it go away.

Last weekend we found ourselves in Queenstown and Mrs Mac, as a birthday treat for me (yes, luckily still having them), booked a nice room with a sensational view.

A beautiful place and quite new.

It wouldn’t have been out of place

on Grand Designs. But on entering the room something didn’t seem quite right.

There appeared to be no TV. In Mr Bean mode again I cautiously scanned the room and indeed there appeared to be no television. Incredulous I began illogically opening cupboards and drawers and looking behind things but still no TV. And the very night the All Blacks were playing South Africa.

Just when I need to rekindle what remained of our relationship, Mistress Television toyed with my emotions and recklessly broke my heart again.

Turned out, when I caught up with the manager, that they weren’t trying to inflict a televisual-free world on their guests but rather the wrong wiring had been run in the now concrete-filled walls and they were trying to figure out how to fix the problem! And it wasn’t going to be easy.

If you are still with me, it has just dawned that if people actually do watch and even, (breathe), “enjoy” The Block NZ, then perhaps it IS me.

Just the collateral damage of becoming a boring old f*rt !

Now, what time is Great Canal Journeys on?

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

200 years ago.

They were the trailblazers and therefore theirs were the hardest part while we are on the easier part, perhaps. Their challenges were so great while ours are of different degree.

Today our mission is more on sharing with the faith of the people in the community we stay in.

We are here not to plant the seed of faith or change the way Catholics live their faith here but we are here to share and live the same faith with them taking into account their culture, their way of life and everything.

In fact, it is a journey of sharing and enriching one another in the

faith that we love so much as a gift from God. Jesus came and lived with us and shared with us His life so that we may know the Father through Him, “because He knows the Father perfectly” (Matt 11: 26-27).

And right after the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, He opens for us new dimensions and avenues to serve Him by sharing our faith and life in many practical ways.

First he sent his apostles to preach and baptise and then strengthen us with the gifts of the Holy Spirit so that we too can be sent and become witnesses to others. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in Samaria and even to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

Reflectively, I would say that I am being enriched personally here

because of the learnings I have.

I believe this is the positive point of mingling with other people of different political point of views, different cultural milieus and diverse religious orientations.

When I talked to people with another perspective and religious preference, I came to appreciate more my own catholic faith and the other Christian Churches and group of believers and even the non-believers, for the world we live in is a world of diversity. And when we live in harmony then we enrich each other. Then we realised that believing is sharing.

Here in New Zealand ecumenism is strong and this is one thing that I think helps us make our faith always a shared faith.

God bless you all.

As part of my preparation for coming here, I went through orientations to make me appreciate my new life in the mission and the country and people I am going to live with.

Some missionaries from other parts of the globe shared with me their experiences in the mission.

Some shared very funny experiences, some very inspiring ones, others very tragic ones, like the one from Africa and a few shared that they have some difficulty adapting to the culture of the people.

The nature of our “mission” today is far more different from the real missions of the early religious priests and nuns and evangelists

Getting Title ready for education For many parents,copy. the prospect of getting Matt will provide their child ready for, and enrolling for their schooling life, can provide a daunting prospect.

The Ministry of Education, however, provides a detailed explanation of the process and just what you can do to ensure your child is ready to take those first steps into education.

How do I enrol my child? What paperwork do I need to provide?

You enrol directly with the school or kura. Contact them to find out their enrolment process, and to get their enrolment forms.

Documents for enrolling Check with the school / kura to see what paperwork they want. They will want things like: • A copy of your child’s birth certificate or passport as proof of age • A copy of their immunisation certificate (this is in the back of your Well Child book or ask your family doctor for a copy) • Medical information including your doctor’s contact details • Any legal documents, for example custody or access agreements, the school should know about • If your child has been enrolled in early childhood education, their

National Student Number (NSN), and ECE leaver’s record • Contact details – your family phone number(s) and address and someone the school or kura can call in an emergency if they can’t get hold of you.

Can I enrol my child at any school I like?

Not always.

If the school has an enrolment scheme, in other words, is zoned, this gives them the authority to restrict enrolments to families living within the zone.

If you want your child to attend a zoned school and you live outside the zone you will have to apply to go into a ballot.

If you live in an area that has a choice of more than one school you can find out what some of your different options might be by checking online for the different schools that are available.

What if a school refuses to enrol my child?

First of all, contact the school and ask whether they have an enrolment scheme, and if so, get them to explain how you can apply to enrol.

If they don’t have an enrolment scheme, they should not turn away any enrolments.

If they do, ask the school to put the refusal in writing. You can then contact your nearest Ministry of Education office for advice

How can I help my child get ready for school?

Get your child used to the school or kura Here are some ideas to help your child become familiar with the school or kura: • Visit the school or kura with your child • Get the principal and teacher to meet your child • Arrange some settling in visits with their teacher before their first day • Have a play at the school in the weekend – run around, climb on the playground equipment, kick a ball on the field Talk to the teacher about your child When teachers know children well they are better able to support their learning.

Talk to the teacher and let them know things like: • If your child has any special health needs, and what to do • What your child likes to do, what they are good at and what makes them happy • After-school plans and who picks up your child when you can’t • Anything that might affect how your child is feeling.

The teacher might also appreciate you sharing your child’s portfolio or profile book from their ECE service or Kohanga Reo.

This will give the teacher valuable information about your child’s learning, and can also link up your child’s early childhood, home and school or kura experiences.

Teach your child the practical skills they’ll need Before your child starts school, it’s helpful if they can: • Do up their shoes • Put on and take off their coats • Go to the toilet and wash their hands • Blow their nose • Unpack and hang up their bags where they are told • Recognise when they are thirsty and get a drink of water • Ask for things they need Help them get ready to learn They may find it easier to participate in the class if they: • Can sit on a chair at a table for a short time to complete an activity • Are comfortable being away from you • Know how to take turns, and wait for things • Know the names of colours • Know the letters of the alphabet • Know the numbers 1 to 9 • Can hold a pencil correctly and use scissors • Can write their name • Are able to hold a picture book and turn the pages carefully.

A first for the MCRU

Nicole Purdom is the new Mid Canterbury Rugby Union women’s rugby development officer.

PHOTO ERIN TASKER 300719-ET-0005

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury Rugby’s first women’s and schools’ rugby development officer knows a thing or two about what both areas need in order to grow.

That’s because Nicole Purdom is a player herself, who grew up playing the sport in Mid Canterbury before leaving school and heading to Christchurch, where she took her talents to the UC club and pretty quickly found herself playing for Canterbury.

Now, after a busy couple of years where rugby has taken her around the world, she’s back where it all started and found herself the perfect job.

In May, Purdom returned to New Zealand from Ireland, where she’d been playing and working in rugby.

She was part of the Ireland women’s rugby world cup squad, and they wanted her to go back, and she was keen to go back.

But that required getting a visa in an impossible time frame, and not wanting a black stamp against her name, Purdom decided to call Ashburton home again.

At 22, she decided the time was right to start putting down roots, so she took on the sports co-ordinator cluster position for Mid Canterbury schools, a role that involves going into the district’s

schools and teaching physical education.

Then, the Mid Canterbury Rugby Union advertised a newly created position – the women’s and schools’ development officer – and Purdom decided to put her hand up for that, too.

She got it, and she is now juggling both roles and loving it. Together the two jobs had her doing a full working week – at times it would be more than an average working week – but she was loving it, and looking forward to the challenges ahead.

Purdom said with the rugby role being new, it was a case of baby steps.

She had big plans, but they are

more about the future than the now.

“It’s about putting things in place for next year,” she said.

It was about working with girls right down to under-11 through to senior, and creating players to go on to play in Mid Canterbury’s new women’s team.

The team, playing under the Celtic club banner, recently completed its first season in the Christchurch Metro competition.

Girls’ and women’s rugby is growing, and Purdom’s role is about harnessing that and helping it to continue.

Among the plans already being put in place, is trying to form Mid Canterbury’s first ever wom-

en’s sevens rugby team, which as well as organising Purdom was planning on playing in, although she will continue to play her club rugby out of Christchurch for UC. The first Mid Canterbury women’s sevens team will head to the South Island zone sevens in Timaru in December.

Girls’ rugby will also make an appearance in Mid Canterbury in the next school holidays.

Purdom said that the Hanan Shield secondary schools’ girls’ team she once played in will be among the teams taking to the field when the South Island girls’ tournament was played in Methven.

First test of the season

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Heading into their first big test of the rep rugby season today, Mid Canterbury’s new-look coaching duo is pretty happy.

The team Dale Palmer and Jason Rickard have put together will take to the field for the first time in the 2019 season against Ellesmere in Lincoln, and they’re excited to see what they’re capable of.

The game will be their first real test in a game situation, with the start of the Heartland Championship now just three weeks away.

“It’s going to be a real benchmark for us, and it’s a chance to put the first peg in the ground,” Palmer said.

He said they’ve been working hard on how they want to play the game at training, but it isn’t until you actually get out onto the field that the picture really starts becoming clear.

“We’ve only had a couple of weeks to start putting our game philosophy together and it’s going to take a while for them to settle down, but the message is don’t panic, have faith in what we have been working on, and it will all come together,” Palmer said.

Palmer and Rickard are happy with the group they’ve brought together so far, which largely consists of local players, as loan players are yet to be officially named due to some potential players still being tied up with club commitments in Christchurch.

So today’s squad is local, with just two exceptions.

Tyler Burgess, a Twizel-based player who has played at representative level for North Otago in the past, is set to don the number 10 jersey, while Sorby Sorvea from Belfast is one of two frontrowers included on the bench.

Both are potential loan players for the Heartland Championship, which will begin on August 24 with Mid Canterbury at home in Ashburton against Horowhenua-Kapiti.

It’s the same team they started with last year, and while Mid Canterbury won that one up there, the rest of the season didn’t go as planned.

Mid Canterbury’s Tololima Savaiinaea looks to send a pass out wide during one of his side’s training runs this week.

Mid Canterbury just scraped through to the Lochore Cup (fifth to eighth) semi-finals, where they lost to Horowhenua-Kapiti.

A shorter-than-usual club season means that, this year, Mid Canterbury will play three pre-season matches.

Today’s match against Ellesmere will be followed next weekend by a game against Canterbury B, and the weekend after that they’re off to Timaru to play fellow Heartland side South Canterbury.

Mid Canterbury have also benefited this week, from the services of Mid Canterbury Rugby’s new director of rugby, Black Ferns coach Glenn Moore, who was at training giving his two cents worth before heading away on Black Ferns duty.

“It was just outstanding really.

“Jase and I got a lot out of it and the boys got a lot out of it,” Palmer said.

And hopefully that will show on the field.

Southern and Rakaia provide the bulk of the starting line up for today’s clash, with 11 between them, with Methven, Celtic and Hampstead all providing one each. The first five jerseys will all be filled by Southern or Rakaia players, while Southern’s Will Mackenzie has been named to start at halfback, with Methven halfback Tyler Blackburn starting at second-five.

“Obviously we still want to see him around the halfback role, but it’s just a good chance while we are settling in, to give him an opportunity to see if he likes it,” Palmer said.

The backline also includes

Southern brothers Matt and Josh McAtamney, who Palmer described as “tough as nails”, while a big talking point in the forwards is the return of Jon Dampney.

A former Mid Canterbury captain who has led the side to two Meads Cup championship wins, 36-year-old Dampney is making a return this season, a couple of years after hanging up his rep rugby boots.

He, along with the likes of Southern team-mate Eric Duff and Mid Canterbury’s captain from the past couple of years Jackson Donlan, will form a strong leadership team on the field, Palmer said.

Today’s game may be pre-season, but it’s a valuable game in the eyes of Mid Canterbury’s players, Palmer said.

“Every game has a lot of mean-

ing for us, and there’s a trophy on the line in this one,” Palmer said.

Last year Ellesmere came out on top in the annual clash, winning 26-24 at the Ashburton A&P Showgrounds to claim the Mid Canterbury Auto Electric Trophy for the first time in five years.

And Palmer and his team are keen to get it back when today’s game kicks off at 2.45pm in Lincoln.

The Mid Canterbury starting line up for today’s clash: Tom Heywood, Jackson Donlan, Adam Williamson, Eric Duff, Matt Bentley, Tevita Ula, Seta Koroitamana, Jon Dampney, Will Mackenzie, Tyler Burgess, Lima Savaiinaea, Tyler Blackburn, Josh McAtamney, Timoci Nabakeke, Matt McAtamney. Reserves: Jacob Sutton, Sorby Sorvea, Ataata Langilangi, Manasa Bari, Inoke Tonga, Kody Nordqvist, Cory Sinclair, Tom Blyth, Nete Caucau, Tim Lawn.

Ellesmere team has a fresh look about it

By Jonathan Leask jonathan@selwynapp.nz

There are some fresh faces in the Ellesmere side to take on Mid Canterbury at Lincoln today.

The match is the first of three lead-in matches for Ellesmere, ahead of the annual Southbridge Shield clash with North Canterbury on August 24, and will also be Mid Canterbury’s first run for its Heartland Championship squad.

Last year Ellesmere came out on top in the annual clash with

the Hammers 26-24 in Ashburton – the first time they’d won it in five years.

Ellesmere will be out to get the win but also build some combinations as they start the campaign to reclaim the Southbridge Shield off North Canterbury in three weeks’ time.

There is some continuity in the squad from last year, predominantly in the forward pack.

Several players retain their starting roles from the fixture this year.

Graeme Greenslade, Isileli Fine, Daryl Lambourn and Sam Heselwood will all start again while Sam Cottam starts at hooker this time with Steve Lees-Goodwin on the bench.

Cameron Sheat is the lone member of the starting backline from the fixture last year, with Cam Powell getting a start in the midfield after being injected off the bench last year and Matt Saunders moving to the bench.

Waihora’s Harry Kirk was called into the Cantabrians side for the

preseason match against Otago in Oamaru yesterday which means Southbridge’s Luke Palmer – a week after lifting the Coleman Shield – will start at halfback, forming a new 9-10 combination with West Melton’s Ashton Mulloy.

Veteran Mark Maitland is at fullback adding some experience to a new backline.

The Ellesmere XV for today’s clash is: Ben Alexander (Darfield), Sam Cottam (Springston), Graeme Greenslade (Lincoln), William Wright (Darfield), Isileli Fine (Southbridge),

Daryl Lamborn (Southbridge), Sam Heselwood (Southbridge), Eddie Sunia (Prebbleton), Luke Palmer (Southbridge), Ashton Mulloy (West Melton), Cameron Sheat © (Southbridge), Cameron Powell (Springston), Cameron Hay (Prebbleton), James Wilkins (Lincoln), Mark Maitland (Waihora). Reserves: Steve Lees-Godwin (Prebbleton), Haig Jebson (Darfield), Jarrod Adams (Southbridge), Issac Roth (Lincoln), Sam Henderson (Lincoln), Jack Hardacre (Springston), Matt Saunders (Waihora), Connor Hamlin (Springston).

Todd a World Cup shoo-in

Canterbury women for cup clash

By Patrick McKendry For all of his consistent excellence, Matt Todd has never been to a World Cup. Well, that’s not quite right.

There was the curious case of him training against the All Blacks at the 2011 event after he happened to bring his boots to a holiday in Auckland when Richie McCaw couldn’t train due to the pain in his broken foot.

Todd was unofficial cover for McCaw in case the skipper broke down completely.

But it was all done on a hush hush basis, because World Cup regulations meant while McCaw remained as a squad member Todd couldn’t be officially welcomed or even stay in the same hotel.

For him it was probably a bit like being invited to a party on the basis you entered through the back door and confined yourself to helping in the kitchen.

Now, though, after missing the World Cup in England and Wales four years ago, Todd is likely to get the red carpet treatment all the way on to the front end of the plane for the trip to Tokyo next month because, while Steve Hansen must cull four players from his current squad of 34 (allowing for the probable inclusion of currently injured Brodie Retallick), Todd, a 31-year-old who has never given up on his dream, is unlikely to be one of them.

He may lack a bit of size, and he was buffeted around at times when starting at openside flanker against the giant Springboks pack during the recent drawn test in Wellington, but Todd has the pace, durability and uncanny ability to make big interventions late in tests that will likely see him included in the final squad of 31.

Crucially, he is built for the game the All Blacks want to play; an up-tempo run-fest, because he has a diesel-like motor that can just keep going.

His all-action performance for the Crusaders in the bruising Super Rugby final against the Jaguares in Christchurch early last month was extraordinary.

At the Cake Tin against the Boks, Todd played 80

minutes, made all 14 of his tackles and offloaded twice.

As a turnover expert and link player there are few better and his combinations with fellow Crusaders and key tacticians Kieran Read and Richie Mo’unga could be invaluable at the World Cup. “I thought he played pretty good,” Hansen said of Todd’s contribution in his 18th test.

It was just his fifth start.

“He’s been an unfortunate player in some respects; he first made the All Blacks, got called in as a back-up for Richie in 2011, which is a long time ago.

“He’s been behind Richie, then Sam Cane and Ardie, but he’s always been reliable.

“And he’s always been a good performer every time he puts on the black jersey - tonight was another example of that.”

Todd, off to Japan on a full-time basis after the World Cup, will likely start at least two pool games as the All Blacks attempt to win their third in a row and will provide valuable cover for the rest should Hansen decide to start with a loose trio of Sam Cane, Ardie Savea and Kieran Read for the bigger matches.

So, if Todd appears safe, who is most vulnerable should everyone remain available?

The selectors have already said they will take only four midfielders so one of Sonny Bill Williams, Ryan Crotty, Jack Goodhue, Anton Lienert-Brown or Ngani Laumape will miss out.

Five props will be taken, which means bad news for one of the following: Joe Moody, Owen Franks, Angus Ta’avao, Nepo Laulala, Atu Moli or Ofa Tuungafasi.

If Retallick comes back as expected, Jackson Hemopo, currently in the squad as a lock, will probably be considered a loose forward who can play lock and on that basis will be included, with Vaea Fifita or Luke Jacobson vulnerable, as are utility backs Braydon Ennor and Jordie Barrett.

Todd should be on his way.

It has taken time for him to get the recognition he probably deserves but as the All Blacks attempt to set the piece in Japan he’ll be one of those on the front line.

There are few better No. 7s around than Matt Todd.

Two women who began their rugby playing careers in Mid Canterbury have been named in Canterbury’s squad for this year’s Farah Palmer Cup competition.

Canterbury’s women’s head coach Kieran Kite named his squad this week, a month out from the competition starting, and among those to make the cut were former Mid Cantabrian Melanie Puckett and the Mid Canterbury Rugby Union’s new women’s and schools’ development officer Nicole Purdom.

Puckett was one of 25 players named in the main squad, while Purdom was one of 10 players named as part of the wider training squad.

Prop Stephanie Te Ohaere Fox would captain the side, and Kendra Cocksedge – one of three Black Ferns in the squad – had been named as vice-captain.

Pip Love and Grace Brooker are the other Black Ferns in the squad.

“We’ve named what we believe will be a really competitive squad in this year’s provincial competition, and look forward to the next few weeks of preparation before our campaign officially gets under way at the end of August,” Kite said.

“There is plenty of consistency in this year’s group, with a host of returning players and just five new caps who will have the chance to wear the red and black for the first time in 2019.”

The new caps in the squad were Angelene Sisifa, Cindy Nelles, Amy Rule, Martha Lolohea and Olivia Bernadel-Huey.

Canterbury’s first match of the Farah Palmer Cup competition would be at home, against Wellington, on August 31. It would be a double header with the Canterbury men’s Mitre 10 Cup game that weekend.

■■OPINION

Savea provides the momentum the All Blacks need

By Patrick McKendry

T

he All Black players who saw their value rise or at least underlined their importance to the team in the drawn test against South Africa were fairly obvious.

There was Beauden Barrett for his general excellence, Jack Goodhue for his running lines and work ethic, Richie Mo’unga for his growing influence on the game, replacement Aaron Smith for the tempo he provided and fellow substitute Dane Coles for his linking play.

And then there was loose forward Ardie Savea, who wasn’t involved but who saw his stocks rise anyway because if there was one forward the All Blacks missed

from the start against a Boks team who successfully subdued an underdone pack in Wellington – initially, anyway – it was Savea, a player who is becoming increasingly important to this team.

Why? It’s the momentum Savea provides with the ball when he has no right to provide it.

The special thing about the 25-year-old is that just as he appears to be contained by one or more defenders, he will go an extra couple of metres, and that is gold in any test and in particular against a side so successful in dominating the collisions like the Boks did at Westpac Stadium.

Mo’unga, good overall after a couple of charged down attempt-

ed clearances, would have looked far better had he received the ball on the front foot a little more against the Boks – and the same would have applied to Goodhue, TJ Perenara, Sonny Bill Williams, Rieko Ioane and Ben Smith.

In other words, the whole backline.

All of which is why Savea is likely to start alongside Kieran Read and Sam Cane against the Wallabies in Perth, a game for which turnover expert David Pocock could be available following his long-term calf injury.

The line-up for Optus Stadium will be the first indication of Steve Hansen’s top match-day squad (minus Brodie Retallick and Williams) ahead of the World Cup.

We’ve already seen the Mo’unga/Barrett combination, which is a promising work in progress – now for the minor revolution among the loose forwards.

It’s obvious the All Blacks want to play an up-tempo game in order to run defences off their feet.

Fast ball takes away the effectiveness of rush defences and will make the likes of Mo’unga and Barrett potential nightmares for the opposition to contain.

It’s why the selectors want ball-playing front-rowers with implicit game understanding and that method of play is made for Savea, aligned with the physicality of openside Sam Cane and defence and leadership of Kieran Read.

It doesn’t matter what numbers those three wear because they could swap roles off scrums, with Read occasionally defending from No. 8 and Savea attacking from there.

The selection, should it actually happen, will carry the promise of a high-octane attack with a stay-with-us-if-you-can attitude.

Hansen, constrained by the unavailability of Liam Squire and lack of a blindside flanker who has demanded selection, has hinted the Savea, Read, Cane axis will come.

Happy accident or not, it could be a game changer, and a Japan-like hard surface on an early evening in Western Australia is the right time to try it.

Big wins for Celtic, College

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Defending champions Celtic A returned to their best with a 3024 win over United A in Thursday night’s latest round of the Mid Canterbury Netball premier one competition.

And they weren’t alone when it came to producing some of their most clinical netball of the season, with the table-topping College A side also coming away with an impressive win over Hampstead A 41-23.

They were results that ensured that with just one game to go before semi-finals, College A and Celtic A were shaping up to be the two teams to beat, with College A topping the leaderboard and Celtic A in second spot.

College A are yet to drop a game in the competition’s third and final championship round, and their latest win was set up by an outstanding first half where they led Hampstead A 22-9 by halftime.

College A coach Kaye Kennedy said the first half was great, but there was still work to do.

“We are working on just getting our structure and our composure right through all four quarters, we just seem to have one quarter where we drop off a bit,” Kennedy said.

On Thursday night, that was the last quarter, but by then College A had already done more than enough to secure the win.

It was a strong performance by the young side, but the game of the night belonged to Celtic A and United A. As expected, little separated the two sides early on, but early in the second quarter Celtic A got on a mini-roll which helped them to a 22-16 led at half-time – a six-goal margin they still held at the end of the 40 minutes.

United A moved Olivia McLennan to the bench, and moved Anna Edzes from goal keep to goal shoot in the third quarter, but

Liberty Ross sends a pass to her shooters during United A’s loss to Celtic A on Thursday night.

Celtic A’s defensive duo of Anna Holland and Olivia Hutchinson continued to make life difficult for United’s attack end.

Life wasn’t easy for Celtic A’s shooters either, though, with Sophie Worsfold producing numerous turnovers, but unfortunately for her side, all too often the ball found its way back into the hands of Celtic players before they could capitalise.

The gap was still six at three-quarter time, 22-16, and United A again made a move, reintroducing McLennan in the final quarter – at goal keep instead of goal shoot.

While United did manage to make some late inroads, they also made errors at crucial times, and Celtic made them pay.

Celtic A were having the sort of night where it would have been

tough picking a player of the day, and against a side like that you couldn’t afford to make mistakes.

Celtic A coach Angela Leadley summed her side’s performance up in one word – awesome.

“Defensively we stepped up and that made a huge difference, which gave us confidence in our attacking game and we just seemed to find each other,” Leadley said.

Thursday night’s round also featured a bottom-of-the-table clash between Methven A and Mt Somers which was won by Methven A 21-14, which put them into fifth position with a round to go.

In premier two, Southern A’s top form continued with a 31-16 win over College B, while Methven B beat Hampstead B 33-22, and an all-Celtic battle was won

by Celtic B over Celtic C, 41-30.

Smith rescues awful Aussies on Ashes day one NZME Steve Smith was Australia’s saviour in Birmingham as the Ashes got under way.

The former skipper scored his first test ton since his ball tampering ban as a gritty 144 steered the Aussies to 284 all out before England went to stumps at 0/10.

Here are all the talking points from day one at Edgbaston.

Australia’s top order batting was awful at Edgbaston but the umpiring may have been worse.

Aleem Dar in particular came in for heavy criticism from the cricket world as he had a shocker.

First, he didn’t give David Warner out when he got a tickle on

a ball down the leg side in the second over, then Dar raised his finger for lbw to send the Aussie opener on his way despite Hawkeye showing the ball would have missed leg stump.

Dar gave Steve Smith out lbw to Stuart Broad but the former Australian captain challenged the decision and was right to do so as the ball wasn’t coming back in far enough to hit off stump.

The same official later gave James Pattinson out lbw for a duck but the ball was once again shown to be travelling down leg.

Up the other end, Joel Wilson wasn’t in peak form either. He didn’t give Usman Khawaja out despite the left-hander edging

Chris Woakes behind while Matthew Wade was also given not-out following a shout when the ball was crashing into the stumps.

Fortunately for England, it reviewed on both occasions and got its men.

Wilson gave Peter Siddle out lbw but one look at a replay was enough to establish he got a massive inside edge and the fast bowler was allowed to remain in the middle after his successful challenge.

Former cricket stars like Shane Warne, Mark Waugh and Darren Berry blasted the substandard umpiring on display in Birmingham as angry fans also took to social media to vent.

Former England captain Michael Atherton said in commentary: “The standard of umpiring today has been ordinary.”

Meanwhile it’s been more than 16 months in the making but Steve Smith finally has another century for Australia, scoring a sensational 144.

The former captain’s last test century came against England in 2017 and it was only fitting he saved his best for Australia’s most bitter rival when it mattered most.

After being rubbed out of the game for one year there were question marks over whether Smith would be able to reach the Bradman-esque heights he’d soared to before the Cape Town scandal.

He crushed those doubts at Edgbaston.

The 30-year-old wasn’t at his best technically or in regards to shotmaking but still England couldn’t get him out as he resolved to dig in and fight for his survival every ball.

This innings won’t provide material for the highlights reel but it will surely rank as one of the best of his career.

Australia hasn’t won a test series in England since 2001 and that’s mainly because the batting over the past 18 years hasn’t been good enough. The men with the willow haven’t been able to deal with the seam and swing in England and that worrying trait was on show again.

Rep teams named Young Mid Canterbury hockey players have been putting their best feet forward lately, in their bids to make the district’s primary rep hockey teams. Among those taking part in the latest trials for the Hatch Cup boys’ team was Bill Quigley, whose name was there when the team was officially named this week. The girls’ Collier Trophy team was also named, with team lists now on the Mid Canterbury Hockey website. Both tournaments will be held in October, with the boys off to Palmerston North and the girls to Wellington.

■■ FOOTBALL

Goals, goals and a few more goals required Mid Canterbury United FC’s first team’s dreams of a Mainland Football division one title are still alive, but they need goals, goals and more goals.

Today they play host to Nomads United AFC at the Ashburton Domain, a side currently sitting bottom of the table with four points and a goal difference of -44.

The Mid Canterbury boys, coming off a commanding 5-0 victory last week, will be hoping to put on another big score this week as they currently sit tied with Halswell United 1964s, only

separated by goal difference.

Mid Canterbury currently have a goal difference of 43, while Halswell have a goal difference of 50.

Today’s game between MCUFC and Nomads begins at the Ashburton Domain at 2.30pm, and at the same time, the Mid Canterbury United FC second team will also be taking to the field at the Ashburton Domain.

After rolling over a depleted Shirley St Albans side 9-1 last week, the second side will host the Christchurch United Presidents in division five this week.

The last time the two sides met was when both were still in division six, with Christchurch United winning comfortably.

With two games left in the round robin, Mid Canterbury are only three points off the top of the table Universities AFC Yellow Jackets, who they play next week.

Meanwhile, in Methven, the Methven FC Seniors have a shot at division three glory today when they welcome the Western AFC Generals to the Methven Domain.

Methven are top the table, three points clear of Western in

second, and a win today could secure them the title with only two games to go.

They have won their last six games on the bounce, and have scored 27 goals while only conceding four.

In division six, the Methven FC Reserves sit firmly in the middle of the table with two wins, a draw and three losses.

This week they also play at the Methven Domain, against Hornby United AFC, a side that is currently bottom of the table with no wins, two draws and four losses.

Armstrong closing in on Formula 3 leader Marcus Armstrong (right) is once more ready to do battle for dominance in the inaugural 2019 FIA Formula 3 Championship.

Round five of the championship takes place this weekend at the 4.381km Hungaroring, Formula 3 once more supporting the Formula One Grand Prix.

Currently fourth in the F3 championship, Armstrong (19) has his

sights set on a finish that will put him closer to series leader and Prema team-mate Robert Shwartzman.

In the previous round at Silverstone in the UK the New Zealander banked valuable points to stay in contention and can potentially overtake third-placed Juri Vips to close on his Prema team-mates Shwartzman and second-placed Je-

han Daruvala to make the championship fight an all-Prema affair.

Armstrong has been as consistent as they come so far this season, spending a remarkable 97 laps inside the top three, which is 26 more than championship leader Shwartzman. It’s this type of form that has kept his title challenge alive, aiming to score his maiden victory in the 2019 season this weekend.

■■ KAYAKING

Paddlers hit Lake Hood Paddlers are set to take to Lake Hood in big numbers this weekend, with titles in their sights.

Lake Hood is hosting the Canterbury Kayak Marathon Championships tomorrow, which will see kayakers race across distances from 6km up to 24km.

Hosted by the Arawa Canoe Club from Christchurch, the paddlers will tackle laps of a 4km course, and the main event will be the 24km Open K1 Canterbury Championship race.

But, there’s a few boat classes which could be taking to the lake.

As well as K1, surf ski, waka ama and stand-up (SUP) paddle boarding classes, there’s also a section specifically for multisporters.

Many of those taking part in that section will be people preparing to tackle next year’s Coast to Coast, including a number of Mid Cantabrians, who are challenging themselves with the flat water event as part of their build-up.

The start and finish line for races will be marked by two buoys in front of the Ashburton Rowing Club’s headquarters, and races will start in waves.

The canoe racing will get under way at 9.30am.

Around 50 competitors are expected to take part in the competition, which is one of two big events at Lake Hood tomorrow morning.

While the paddlers are on the water, off the water, the third running of the South Island Half Marathon will also be taking place around the lake.

Big stage for Kiwi trotter

Expectations high for Gobstopper

HRNZ New Zealand will be represented on North American harness racing’s biggest day.

This Sunday, New Zealand time, Meadowlands Racetrack in New Jersey will host the $1 Million Hambletonian for threeyear-old trotters.

Run with a heat and final system, the time honoured event will again feature the hottest bloodstock harness racing has to offer.

But it will also see Speeding Spur having his second start on American soil following a strongfinishing fourth at the course last week.

He made up good ground on a 55-second last half to follow home top trotting stars Manchengo and Marion Marauder – a former Hambletonian winner himself.

He will line up in race three tomorrow, set to go at approximately 4.40am New Zealand time, but has drawn wide in post eight over the mile.

Champion driver Tim Tetrick opted to drive the stallion following his performance last week.

Speeding Spur has settled into life in New Jersey beautifully according to trainer Linda Toscano, who has prepared many talented trotters during her career including Chapter Seven and Market Share.

“He is a pleasure to have around.

“He was so well cared for in New Zealand, he arrived looking marvellous and he settled right

NZME

Speeding Spur takes on the best in America tomorrow morning. in here,” said Toscano.

“He looks forward to his work every day.

“He’s so easy to work with and he’s just such a lovely stallion to work with.”

Shartin continues to fly the flag at full mast for the Kiwi bred.

2018’s pacing mare of the year is already the leading money earner in the United States this year overall, recording 11 wins from 12 starts for $665,000.

Last year she became the first pacing mare to earn over one million dollars in stakes in one racing season and looks on target to repeat that dose again this year following the same racing path.

She has drawn the coveted inside barrier for the Lady Liberty, whilst fellow expat Kiwi Seaswift Joy unfortunately has been handed post seven.

Seaswift Joy herself has en-

joyed a successful season so far, collecting ten victories from just 19 starts including a personal best mile time of 1.50.

On the driving front Dexter Dunn will represent a New Zealand element, with drives in all but three of the sixteen race card.

Trackside will broadcast racing from 7.30am from the Meadowlands, or you can view the whole card live on the Meadowlands Racetrack Facebook page.

■■RICCARTON

Track made to suit for Rosewood NZME Heavy track specialist Rosewood will be met by ideal track conditions at Riccarton today when she lines up in the Gr.3 Winning Edge Presentations 122nd Winter Cup (1600m).

The six-year-old daughter of Redwood has won all but one of her 10 starts on a heavy surface and trainer Marilyn Paewai is pleased with the Heavy11 rating ahead of the weekend.

“I am happy with the ground, it is nice and wet and there is a bit more rain coming by the look of things,” she said.

“It was a worry coming here with the weather forecast, everything looked dry on the east side of the South Island for some time.

“But it has all worked out for us so far.”

Rosewood has been in fine form this winter, winning at Manawatu over 1500m in June and finishing runner-up in the Listed Ag Challenge Stakes (1600m) at Wanganui and Listed Opunake Cup (1400m) at New Plymouth last start.

The only blip in her preparation was her ninth-placing in the Listed Tauranga Classic (1400m) in June and Paewai said she didn’t particularly handle the right-handed way of going.

“The only glitch was Tauranga, the wrong way around as I call it,” she said.

“I think that had a bit to do with the race and the track didn’t really suit her that day.

“It wasn’t what we call heavy, like at Trentham and Palmerston North anyway.”

However, Rosewood was back in form at New Plymouth last start, running home well to finish runner-up behind Helena Baby.

“That was a terrific run,” she said.

“We were more thrilled than if she had won I think because of how far back she got and how she caught up and ran on that day.

“That horse (Helena Baby) was one out of the box I thought.

“He ran beautifully. It was just a shame that day it was shifty on top, but it wasn’t as deep as what New Plymouth usually goes.

“If it was slightly deeper I think

he wouldn’t have got away so well, but he was a magnificent horse, I thought.”

Paewai has been pleased with Rosewood since that run and said she has settled in well to her southern surroundings, although it was a trip that took a lot of convincing for the Inglewood trainer to agree to.

“She has been really good, but she always comes through those runs and bounces back,” she said.

“The first time back at the track she was tossing her head and was trying to canter out onto the sand, you wouldn’t know she had had the run.

“We came down on Tuesday and she has settled in very well.

“It is the biggest trip of my life or hers.

“I have enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. I have always said there is enough racing in the North Island for me.

“It’s thanks to my husband and the man that helps me with the horses that we came. I would never have decided to come here, it’s too far away for me.”

Paewai has been impressed with the facilities at Riccarton and said many of the trainers have been very hospitable, particularly Mike McCann.

“It’s a very good place, with the nice boxes and beautiful yards,” she said.

“Everything has been really good.

“We have been very lucky, we have the Mudhoo brothers (helping us out with track work). Mr McCann (their employer) lent them to us so the horses could work together if I wanted to. It has been very good.”

Rosewood has come close to securing that elusive stakes victory and Paewai is hoping her first trip south will pay dividends.

“That’s what we are hoping for,” she said.

“It’s a big trip down here.”

Rosewood’s wet track form hasn’t gone unnoticed with the TAB, with the Petone bookmakers installing her as a $4.20 favourite for the 1600m feature, ahead of fellow Central Districts gallopers Dez, Herengawe, and Red Sierra, all at $7.50.

Emily Farr could be in for one of her biggest days in racing tomorrow when she partners in-form jumper Gobstopper in the Grand National Hurdle (4200m) at Sandown.

It has been a rapid rise for the 2017 Gr.3 New Zealand Cup (3200m) winner, who is undefeated in his two starts over hurdles, including a last-start victory in the Brendan Dreschler Hurdle (3500m) at Pakenham.

It took plenty of perseverance on Farr’s part to convince trainer Andrew Campbell to follow a jumps path this winter with the Tavistock gelding, but she eventually did, and that could pay big dividends in the $250,000 feature.

“Andrew was against being a jumps trainer, so I have worn him down a bit,” Farr said.

“Tommy (Heptinstall) the owner had been a bit disheartened about how he was going on the flat and they ended up saying do what you want.

“I taught him to jump, which was great. I have had him from jumping the logs at the Cambridge track to jumping the hurdles, I gave him his first hurdle trial and start, it’s pretty hard to get me off now.”

Gobstopper thrived with his jumping education and it showed on the track, with the seven-yearold running into form for the first time in 18 months on the flat when finishing runner-up to Zacada in the Gr.3 Rotorua Cup in May. His talents over hurdles were seen for this first time at Te Aroha in June where he won his maiden hurdle by 13 lengths and impressed his connections enough to warrant an Australian campaign.

While Farr had every belief in Gobstopper, she admitted to being slightly nervous heading into his first-up run in Australia last start.

“I was a little bit anxious going into it because I thought we had taken a big risk bringing him over and him only having one start (over hurdles) and one jumping trial, so he hasn’t done a lot of jumping,” she said.

However, Farr needn’t have worried, with Gobstopper running away to a 2-1/2 length victory and showing he is adapting well to his new discipline.

“It was good that I managed to get a sit behind Euroman around the big corner,” Farr said.

“I let him stroll along the back, which is how he likes to run his races, and he made one mistake, but he learnt from it very quickly and flew the next one and put himself back in the race.

“It was quite easy in the end, he won going away from them. He was quite impressive.”

Farr has also been pleased with Gobstopper’s attitude towards jumping and said his quirky personality has a lot to do with it.

“He has impressed me from the start,” Farr said. “Everything he does, he does with purpose, even if it’s track work.”

Rore joins exodus of Ferns

By Cheree Kinnear Another top Silver Fern has made the move across the ditch.

Silver Ferns defender Katrina Rore has joined the NSW Swifts for the remainder of the Australian Super Netball season to replace Kate Eddy, who was ruled out with an ankle injury.

Rore is the fourth Silver Fern to join the Super Netball league of late, following in the footsteps of captain Laura Langman, Maria Folau and Kayla Cullen.

But speaking to Radio Sport, the former New Zealand captain eased fears around her future with the Silver Ferns, confirming her return later this year to make herself available for October’s Constellation Cup. Rore also confirmed another season with the Central Pulse which would keep her eligible for Silver Ferns selection.

“I like to be loyal so won’t be going anywhere else in 2020,” Rore assured.

“This is just a chance for me to be a better player, have a new experience, help the Swifts out and do my job.

“I was having a bit of a break but an opportunity like this doesn’t come around every day so I couldn’t turn it down.

“Both parties and the Pulse are really happy for me to have five or

six weeks over in Sydney.”

Swifts head coach Briony Akle was delighted to secure such a high-quality replacement after Eddy had been a top performer for the side.

Thanking Netball New Zealand and the Pulse for their support, Akle said Rore would bring much-needed experience to her young Swifts side.

“Katrina is a world-class operator who has been one of the best players in the world for almost a decade now,” Akle said.

“I have been really happy with how our defence has operated this year and losing Kate means we need a top operator who can come in and hit the ground running.

“Not only is Katrina all of that, she’s also a proven winner at the highest level of the game and everyone speaks very highly of her. She will also bring a maturity as we look to remain on top of the Super Netball ladder and return to the finals.”

Still riding the high of New Zealand’s Netball World Cup victory, Rore started training with the Swifts earlier this week ahead of their clash against off-contract Silver Ferns coach Noeline Taurua’s Sunshine Coast Lightning.

Langman, who has won backto-back Super Netball titles with the Lightning, will also be out on court.

“I’ve already been in contact with [Laura], there’s a bit of banter already going about,” Rore said.

“I’m excited to be in amongst a new environment and just enjoy myself.”

Cullen will also travel with the Swifts this weekend as a temporary replacement player.

The Swifts currently lead the Super Netball table by seven points with 10 of 14 rounds played.

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You don’t have to believe in a thing for it to help you. Being respectful of the ways other people believe and live puts you in the receptive attitude that attracts maximum assistance from everywhere.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Your capacity to question things is at the heart of your being.

Anyone who discourages your curiosity is discouraging you. Let that be a red flag – an indicator that there is something to hide.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You weren’t trying to impress anyone, but they got impressed anyhow and now you feel some pressure to keep this up. Step back. You’re not here for their entertainment. Go back to pleasing yourself.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Your work has gotten better, so much so that you would cringe at earlier efforts if that weren’t such a disservice to your earnest, hardworking, well-intended former-self.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’re a passionate and complex person with your own point of view that won’t seem to match up to what’s popular. It might not even match up to a single other opinion out there. Stand tight. Hold the position.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): What’s important to you won’t hold the same priority or meaning for everyone. But knowing that matters of health and safety will eventually affect all, you’ll make your choice.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Alluring language, intriguing ideas... you know a chance at being transported when you see it. You won’t hesitate to hop on board for a fun excursion out of the usual reality.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The situation is less than ideal. Truth hasn’t exactly been upheld here, at least not to your standards. But you’d still rather stay and be helpful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Just because knowledge on a matter is unavailable doesn’t mean it’s nonexistent. From germs to quasars, theories are proven all of the time. You’ve a theory you can safely act on; no need to wait for proof.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Your definition of happiness will dovetail with that of another, and together you’ll do the things that make both of you smile. You could get along with lots of people, but not this well. This is special.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): When very young people say certain things that don’t strike you as quite right, you’ll excuse the error, extending the same grace that was afforded you by your elders.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Stick to the original plan.

Adhering to a schedule, or at least to an order of events, will keep you feeling productive even when the evidence is slow in coming.
