Council action delayed on boil water advisory

First outing for Hammers P24

Methven residents were supplied with only partially treated water following the Ashburton District Council being slow to issue a boil water notice on Friday.

Three clear E coli test results have now come back and the notice was lifted yesterday, however, because the water was only partially treated following a power failure, residents may have been put at risk of other gastro-intestinal illnesses, and people may not present with these until this week.

Canterbury medical officer of health Alastair Humphrey said yesterday there was no excuse for the council not to have issued the precautionary boil water notice after receiving advice to do so from CPH at 11.40am on Friday.

The council instead issued the notice about 6.30pm, shortly after tests showed inadequate residual chlorine, notifying the public via Facebook posts, media outlets and Methven Community Board members who worked to get the word out personally.

The council earlier implied it was the responsibility of CPH to issue the boil water notice, however, Humphrey said this was in fact a responsibility of the local authority.

He countered the council’s stance of having to wait for results to come back from chlorine results before introducing such a notice.

“When there’s a problem with a drinking water supply you don’t wait for results before you decide whether you are going to keep everybody safe,” Humphrey said.

He also disagreed with the council’s suggestion that Methven Community Board members had adequately informed restaurants and other hospitality premises, and in fact it appeared the complexities of the boil water notice (eg, commercial premises should not be washing salads or using espresso machines with unboiled water) were not explained to the community.

He personally visited about four premises on Sunday and they had only found out about the notice by accident.

Humphrey also queried whether

the council had contacted people with health vulnerabilities such as those on renal dialysis.

He said many councils would not even wait for their health authority to advise on issuing a notice and would instead be ringing to tell them they had already done it.

Council operations and projects manager Viv Eyberg was able to provide background, but unable to say why the council had not immediately acted on the CPH advice, as it was not his area.

Others who might be able to elaborate further were not available yesterday afternoon, but the council’s communications team responded at 5.28pm in an emailed release saying the council had “acted on the advice of CPH which recommended a precautionary boil water notice unless council’s testing the water to determine the chlorine levels at multiple sites proved to be at accepted safety levels”.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

‘Gratuitous violence’: Sentence extended A 20-year-old man imprisoned for 22 months for street violence had his sentence extended by eight months yesterday when he appeared in the Ashburton District Court.

Michael Ioane Muliaga was jailed in May for an assault which left a man semi-conscious with a broken jaw.

He was back in court yesterday before Judge Joanna Maze to be sentenced for another assault which she described as more gratuitous street violence.

The victim in this case was assaulted by Muliaga and a cooffender, breaking his ankle as he fell to the ground.

The injury needed surgery to insert plates and screws to provide support. He also sustained cuts and bruises in the attack and was off work for weeks.

“You hit him twice with enough force to cause him to

fall after the first blow, twisting his ankle and breaking a bone as he fell,” Judge Maze said as she revisited the facts.

The men had been drinking with others at an Ashburton address in April last year and left in a car, stopping to drop the complainant off en route.

Words were exchanged and Muliaga thought his co-offender was under threat.

“It was a case of excessive self-defence. He got out of the car, saw the victim holding a bottle and believed his co-offender was under threat,” Muliaga’s lawyer John Black said.

Judge Maze said she could not accept it was excessive selfdefence.

“It was gratuitous street violence, which means deterrence and denunciation is required.”

Drummer Les Nell reminisces on days playing at the Radiant Hall.

Recalling the Radiant Hall era

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Playing in the Twilight Timers at Ashburton’s Radiant Hall is a memory Les Nell will cherish forever.

The 79-year-old recalls the days of being a band member at the hall at Saturday night dances in the 1950s and 1960s, and the place was alive as youngsters moved to the music and stepped out numerous moves.

There were waltzes, foxtrots, the quickstep, Canadian three step and the gypsy tap – just to name a few.

“I enjoyed drumming, I enjoyed dancing too,” Nell said.

He has loaned his old drum set to the Ashburton Museum which is preparing for its exhibition Meet You at the Radiant Hall which begins this Saturday.

He remembers buying it secondhand in the 1950s, costing just over

10 pounds. He bought a new drum pedal and brushes for his new prized possession, as well as some covers, altogether costing over 14 pounds.

He said he was more than happy to have the drum kit on display at the exhibition.

“I realised they were looking for items related to the hall, the thing is I have also got my original dancing shoes,” he said.

Council keen on sugary drinks ban policy

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Local authorities have no role to play in deciding whether their community should consume sugar laden drinks, says Ashburton District councillor Stuart Wilson.

With mayor Donna Favel due to indicate the council’s support – or not – for a local government sugar sweetened beverages policy at this month’s local government conference, Wilson urged his fellow councillors to think long and hard before they went down the sugar-free policy path.

“If we decide to ban anything sugary that would mean no sugar on our events on our sites, in the council tea room and at the street parade where lollies couldn’t be thrown out to children,” he said.

Favel had already indicated she supported the develop-

ment of a policy around sugar, saying evidence from dentists made a compelling case for reducing the consumption of sugary drinks.

The Marlborough District Council recently adopted a policy that stated sugary beverages would not be offered for sale at council workplaces or supplied at its functions, or be available at events where the council was the main funder.

Wilson remained adamant that monitoring sugar intake shouldn’t be the council’s job.

“This is social engineering.

Why should local authorities be involved in this, it’s frivolous.”

His concerns around council sticking to its core business and not becoming involved in social issues fell on deaf ears with six of his fellow councillors supporting the development of a sugary drinks policy.

Pareora plant work offer still open

By ColiN williSCroft

colin.w@theguardian.co.nz

Silver Fern Farms says the offer of work at its Pareora plant is still open to former Fairton workers.

A SFF spokesman said at this stage the company did not know how many of the Fairton workers recently made redundant following that plant’s closure had taken up the offer of a job at Pareora.

Those numbers would not become clear until the new season started, he said, which was not far away.

There were 370 people directly affected when Fairton closed and at the time SFF chief executive Dean Hamilton said there were 230 roles available for them at the company’s other sites.

He said the company had already invested $7 million at Pareroa during the past 12 months and the plan was to spend a further $1 million there to support the consolidation of Fairton’s sheep volume.

Canterbury Meat Workers Union secretary Bill Watt said he

had not heard how many former Fairton workers had accepted jobs at Pareroa but said he would be surprised if any of those made redundant could not find a job in the Canterbury area if they wanted one.

He said along with Pareroa, there had also been opportunities available at the SFF Belfast plant, ANZCO had recently been looking for staff, while Affco is currently advertising for meat process workers for its Burnham plant.

■ ASHBURTON BIRD CLUB

Bird club plans big celebration to mark its 50th anniversary By matt markham

Matt.M@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton Bird Club is turning 50 this month and planning to celebrate it in style.

To commemorate the milestone, the club will be holding a show on the weekend of July 15 and 16 at the Tinwald War Memorial Hall with bird lovers from around the South Island expected

to attend the event.

“We will have people from Invercargill travelling up for the weekend and from further north as well,” spokesperson Valerie Snook said.

“Usually we would see people from as far up as Nelson, but with the extra travel involved at the moment, I’m not sure if we will.”

The hall will be open to the pub-

lic on both days from one o’clock on the Saturday afternoon until four o’clock and then from nine o’clock until midday on the Sunday to allow for those travelling for the event to arrive on the Saturday and then return home on the Sunday.

“We have show judges from the North Island coming down for the event and there will be a little bit

of everything on offer.”

Unlike the Ashburton Fanciers who specialise in poultry, the Ashburton Bird Club sees a whole raft of different species of bird entering through the doors at its shows.

“We will have budgies, cockatiels, parrots and hook-beaked birds and some will be for sale as well.”

The event will also serve as a

potential sale for many too with everything from actual birds right through to cages and feed on the tables and up for grabs.

Snook said entry into either of the days would be $2 for adults and free for children under the age of 16 with the only requirement on guests is that they purchase themselves a raffle ticket while enjoying the display.

Gaps for specialist teachers

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Retired teachers are returning to the classroom as a stop-gap measure to deal with New Zealand’s chronic shortage of maths and science teachers.

Ashburton College is currently looking for teachers of science, mathematics and numeracy and those positions have been vacant for some time, said principal Ross Preece.

“It’s very difficult to find these teachers. We’ve advertised the

science position two times and we’ve had absolutely no expressions of interest,” he said.

The college was managing to fill teaching gaps with staff who were willing to come out of retirement and step back into the classroom, but that solution would only be available until the end of the year, Preece said.

“We’re just counting ourselves lucky to have the people who’re prepared to do this; there are lots of places that don’t have this option.”

Some schools were forced to deal with the shortage by putting students onto correspondence study and in some cases they were forced to use teachers from other subject areas.

That teachers in these subject areas were hard to find was no surprise, given the huge pay incentives to pursue careers where they were able to use qualifications for much better pay; that put schools in a competition for staff that they struggled to win, he said.

“If we want teachers then we have to be prepared to pay but we don’t have the ability to be flexible and pay them more.”

An option was to bring maths and science teachers in from overseas but that often came with language issues and a lack of understanding of the New Zealand curriculum, Preece said.

Across mathematics and science specialties the Education Gazette currently has vacancies advertised for more than 65 teachers.

In brief $5m to help TNZ The Government will invest $5 million in Team New Zealand to help it retain its key members, ministers announced yesterday.

Economic Development Minister Simon Bridges said the interim funding would help protect the team’s intellectual property, experience “and the skills that rest with key team members”.

The Government provided the same amount of funding to Team NZ following its defeat in San Francisco in 2013. Bridges would not say whether the Government would provide funding to Team NZ’s defence of the America’s Cup, which is expected to be in New Zealand.

Global stink over toilets Parents pay an average of more than $2 million for a house in the Auckland Grammar School zone – but some of its students say the school apparently can’t afford to keep its toilets clean.

Unnamed students at the school have started a petition on the California-based website change. org to get new toilets at the school. “Stinky, dirty, disgusting, mosquito-infested bathrooms that obviously are not properly taken care of deteriorates the school’s environment and makes the school feel like a prison,” the petition says.

But headmaster Tim O’Connor says the school has already gone out to tender for a $100,000-plus contract to upgrade the main toilet block and add 10 extra toilets to it by the end of next term.

Bazaar attracts a good number of people Ashburton’s Sinclair Centre came to life on Saturday for the Fabric and Craft Bazaar held by Ashburton Altrusa members.

People flooded through the doors to check out what was on

offer with a vast array of different materials and objects up for grabs.

Stall holders travelled from far and wide to be at the event from which 100 boxes of fabric and

craft were sorted and put up for sale with proceeds used to support a range of community ventures including the AVAILL school literacy project, the Harold Club, Magic Mums, Carers Day Out and

the Graeme Dingle Foundation’s Kiwi Can programme.

Altrusa members have set up a pop-up shop in the Ashburton Arcade this week to continue selling.

A 26-year-old Oamaru man was shot in the leg and less than two hours later a shot was fired at a house while two people were inside it on Sunday. The incidents occurred just within hours of each other.

The 26-year-old man was taken to Timaru Hospital after sustaining a bullet wound in his thigh at about 4.30pm. A police spokeswoman said the man was driven to the emergency department by a friend and police are investigating how the man was injured. About an hour later police were called to an address at Kennels Road in Washdyke after reports a shot was fired at a house. Two people, a man and child, were in the house but were not hurt.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

Driver loses licence for 13 months An Ashburton man caught driving with nearly twice the legal blood alcohol limit was fined $1000 in the Ashburton District Court yesterday.

Peter Richard Cribb, 54, admitted the drink driving charge, which resulted after a sample of his blood was taken for analysis after he was stopped by police.

It revealed 147 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.

Judge Joanna Maze said Cribb had previous convictions for drink driving going back to the 1980s but had been told Cribb rarely drank alcohol these days.

Cribb’s lawyer Bevan Coombes outlined the circumstances around the incident in a report to the judge, who also sentenced him to supervision for six months, saying he might benefit from counselling.

She disqualified him from driving for 13 months and also ordered him to pay $109 analyst’s fee.

Jason Henry Forsyth, 34, admitted driving while disquali-

fied, his third or subsequent charge.

Forsyth was disqualified from driving for six months in December last year but was caught behind the wheel in February and May. In the most recent incident his vehicle was stopped for speeding on the Rangitata Highway, when police found he should not have been driving.

He was sentenced to 80 hours’ community work and disqualified from driving for 12 months.

Mark Samuel Russell, 30, was fined $200 after he admitted a charge of driving while his licence was suspended.

Russell was forbidden to drive for three months from April 18 because of excess demerit points but was caught behind the wheel on June 3.

He told police he had gone to help a friend deal with wild pigs causing damage on a farm.

He was also disqualified from driving for six months from July 18 and ordered to pay $130 court costs.

Kevin Francis Cunnard, 61, admitted driving with excess breath alcohol and careless use on Maronan Road on April 4.

It was his fifth drink driving charge, though the previous was 23 years ago.

Cunnard recorded 762mcg and damaged a fence, for which he has since made reparation.

Judge Maze sentenced him to 100 hours’ community service and disqualified him from driving for 13 months.

Dylan Joshua Harvey admitted a charge of assault with intent to injure; it involved him headbutting the complaint at Invercargill in May. He was remanded on bail until August 28 for sentence.

Stacey May Cunningham, 33, pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified. She was sentenced to 40 hours’ community work.

Dylan Robert McCormick, 33, was fined $400 for possessing a firearm without a licence.

He had inherited the .22 cali-

bre rifle from his father but had done nothing about getting a licence to have it in his care.

Rangimarie Puawai Kareko, 30, was sentenced to six months’ supervision, 75 hours community work and ordered to pay $285 reparation for stealing a handbag and fraudulently using the credit card she found in it.

Judge Maze said the woman whose handbag was stolen had been remarkably generous by only asking for $100 reparation – her insurance company had paid out $4000 though.

Tony Elexander Murdoch admitted two charges of drink driving on the same day, along with driving while his licence was suspended and driving while forbidden.

He was first stopped on Porter Street on a moped on November 27, when he recorded 773mcg.

He was later stopped driving a car and blew 717mcg.

Murdoch was remanded to August 7 for sentence.

Eru Rakete Kareti, 30, was jailed for three months after admitting charges of breaching a protection order and breaching conditions of his release from jail.

Kareti was jailed for five months last December for charges of assault and threatening to kill.

He was not to make contact with the complainant upon his release, but did, saying he was concerned about her mental health.

Police said witnesses later heard an argument between the pair, with Kareti pushing and pulling her.

Corrections staff said Kareti also failed twice to report to his probation officer post release.

Sheldon Lee Kirton, 27, was sentenced to four months community detention for driving while suspended and for failing to pay fines totalling $12,000.

He had previously been serving a sentence of intensive supervision; his fines were remitted.

‘Earth turning into Venus’

BY NICK ALLEN Professor Stephen Hawking has slammed President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord and said it could lead to a “tipping point” that “turns Earth into Venus”.

Speaking to the BBC to mark his 75th birthday the author of a A Brief History of Time said: “We are close to the tipping point where global warming becomes irreversible.

“Trump’s action could push the Earth over the brink, to become like Venus, with a temperature of two hundred and fifty degrees, and raining sulphuric acid.”

He added: “Climate change is one of the great dangers we face and it’s one we can prevent if we act now.

“By denying the evidence for climate

change, and pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement, Donald Trump will cause avoidable environmental damage to our beautiful planet, endangering the natural world, for us and our children.”

Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect causing it to reach such a high temperature that lead would melt on its surface.

Hawking said humans may ultimately have to leave Earth.

He told the BBC: “I fear evolution has inbuilt greed and aggression to the human genome.

“There is no sign of conflict lessening, and the development of militarised technology and weapons of mass destruction could make that disastrous.

“The best hope for the survival of the human race might be independent colonies in space.”

Lennox ‘has potential’ Annie Lennox has sold more than 80 million records and won a swag of Grammys and Brit Awards, but that didn’t stop a blissfully unaware LA talent scout offering to make her a star. Kylie, the coordinator for a Los Angeles radio station thought she’d discovered an amazing new talent, and made the woman she thought was an unknown singer an offer to forward one of her singles to “Glenn, our programme director” because Lennox had “potential”. The woman named by Rolling Stone as one of the 100 greatest singers of all time posted the letter to her Twitter account and Facebook page with the words: “I think I’m in with a chance??!!!”

Gunmen have opened fire outside a French mosque, leaving several people injured.

Two men reportedly arrived outside the mosque in the city of Avignon around 10.30pm local time and carried out the shooting, La Provence reported.

Interestingly, Sunrise has also been heavily promoting Perry as their “co-host” on Monday morning.

Council delay sparks questions Matt Markham

ACTING EDITOR

T

here’s something in the water at the Ashburton District Council this week, let’s just hope it’s not the same stuff the people of Methven were left to drink on Friday.

It is an evolving tale of blame, with no-one accepting responsibility as to why it took so long to issue a boil water notice.

And despite the advice of Community and Public Health being to do exactly that late on Friday morning, there are a lot of questions that still need to be answered by our governing body.

Yet so far, requests for those answers have seemingly fallen on deaf ears.

A media statement, issued by the Ashburton District Council at 5.30pm last night advised that all tests had come back clear but then went into a prolonged response as to why the notice wasn’t issued until 6.30pm on Friday night.

It began with the line that they acted on the advice of Community and Public Health.

But Community and Public Health told us yesterday that they advised the boil water notice be issued following the discovery that all was not as it should be in the water treatment stage.

So, who are we to believe?

Meanwhile, on Friday, Methven went about its business blissfully unaware of what was unfolding.

Pubs, restaurants and cafes served water in their usual efficient manner, schools and preschools allowed their children to drink from the water fountains and fill their drink bottles and Methven House allowed their elderly to consume the drinking water as well.

And they all did so not knowing that there was a risk.

Is that really good enough?

Should we base a decision on whether or not it will be an inconvenience to some as opposed to the safety of everyone? Common sense should see the latter taking precedent over the former.

Ashburton District Council’s next move should be to put their hands up and admit that, even if it’s in hindsight, that they perhaps made a mistake and that their systems will be improved because of what transpired.

But if they continue to bury their heads in the sand and not at least take some ownership of the decision then the questions will remain around what exactly has gone on here.

WHAT YOU ARE SAYING

M

ethven residents were left frustrated last week at the slow response to a potential issue with water in the town following a power-cut on Thursday night.

A boil water notice was issued on Friday night, sometime after the breakdown leaving plenty of people confused and concerned about why they weren’t informed earlier.

Some of their comments can be found in the Your Views on Facebook section.

Meanwhile, Andrew Falloon continues to set a frenetic pace in this week’s poll which asks which candidate is most likely to receive your vote in the September general election?

FROM THE FARM

Yes, the impact of agriculture on the environment has been in the headlines in the past few months, and some may think it’s all been said before. But they’re issues that are not going to go away. Another important topic is how we can attract the best people to our industry. In the future there will be a greater diversity of specialised skills required to ensure we are at the forefront of innovation.

Consumers’ expectations are also on the rise. New Zealand dairy products have many attributes that consumers want.

Having greater supply chain transparency plus robust and verifiable evidence of performance to do with animal welfare, and stewardship of land and water, will be prerequisites for people who buy our products here and overseas.

Political uncertainty, the looming election, market volatility and rapid technological changes are just some of the issues in the mix and on our horizon. Our industry will need to be resilient to volatility, and agile in responding to these changes.

approaches on industry-good activities that have so far been developed under the Strategy for Sustainable Dairy Farming will continue to play an essential role in achieving future objectives.

We all know the problems but to come up with sustainable, practical and affordable solutions is where I want to see the conversations go in the future.

dairy industry has experienced a downturn in returns. The consequences of fluctuating demand and supply, increasingly tougher regulations and rising public and consumer expectations of farming practices are just some of the factors prompting the strategy refresh.

I want to acknowledge the efforts made by farmers, the industry and other partners to achieve the considerable progress we’ve already made. This would not have been possible without people coming together to share their knowledge, skills and passion to make a positive difference.

A dynamic industry is one that keeps focus on the shared challenges and opportunities. The partnerships and collaborative

Time to move on?

CONTACTS

I

n the past few months, before I took over from Andrew Hoggard as Federated Farmers dairy chairperson, I got involved in the Dairy Industry Refresh project.

This is a review and update of the current Strategy for Sustainable Dairy Farming 2013-2020, and was initiated by industry partners DairyNZ, Federated Farmers, the Dairy Companies Association of New Zealand and the Dairy Women’s Network.

Over the coming months this group will be talking to farmers, the wider dairy industry, other primary sectors, government and other stakeholders to hear what matters most to them on the topic of dairy and its environmental footprint.

The intention is to gather insights on the future opportunities and challenges that we need to be preparing for now.

We’re asking for feedback to challenge our thinking and help generate new ideas.

The plan is to complete the refresh of the strategy by October 2017. I, and other members of the group, want to hear from farmers and will be sharing information about the Refresh through farmer networks.

The website www.dairystrategy.co.nz is a platform for farmers and those who work across the industry to find out information about the Refresh and contribute their opinions. Please get involved; give your views and decide where our industry should be heading. It’s your chance to make sure we get it right.

Credit, where credit is due The Ashburton College has received much unwanted publicity in recent times with stories of bullying, assaults and unruly students.

What I witnessed on Friday night when the Year 12 and 13 students held their annual ball was anything but.

I believe in giving credit where credit is due and from what I wit-

nessed, from the executive committee who organised the night, through to the attending students, you can all take a bow for the way you represented not only your school, but more importantly yourselves.

You were polite, courteous, hardworking and a pleasure to host in our venue. It was an amazing night with a great atmosphere, a brilliant band and 400 plus students relishing the chance to get dressed up and have an incredibly fun night out.

A big thank you also to the college staff who attended and mixed and mingled with the students all night long.

An extra special thanks must go

to Deputy Principal, Helen Shore Taylor for the guidance you gave to the Ball Committee, ensuring an unforgettable night was had by all.

I would also like to thank our neighbours Neumanns Tyres, the Regent Cinema and the many businesses and residents in our area for their patience and support while the streets were closed to allow for the students’ arrival.

This has become quite a spectacle now with well over 200 onlookers cheering the arrival of each couple in some amazing vehicles.

We are already looking forward to helping plan next year’s ball with a new group of excited students.

In brief

■ CADBURY

A favourite recalled Nostalgic chocolate lovers are celebrating with Cadbury bringing back a Kiwi favourite – Caramilk chocolate.

Originally created in 1994, the white chocolate-caramel blend hasn’t been on shelves in over a decade.

James Kane, country head of Mondelez which owns Cadbury, said the company had worked hard to bring back the flavour after strong public calls for it.

“People who remember Caramilk will know it tastes like nothing else on the market today and will take them back to the 1990s, sparking fond memories of sharing Caramilk with family and friends,” Kane said.

“Those that have never tried Caramilk before are in for a real treat.”

A Facebook page, Keep Cadbury Caramilk, set up in 2012, was celebrating this week with fans quick to take to the page to express their excitement.

“After years of begging Cadbury to bring it back, we finally have success,” the page said.

Cadbury staggered the roll-out of

the flavour from distribution centres into stores last week and said it would be widely available from today.

“We know Caramilk has a flavour all its own, and we’re confident it lives up to the promise of the original that Kiwis loved all those years ago,” Kane said.

The Caramilk was made by cooking milk and sugar together and then blended with cocoa butter.

It was then refined and churned before being moulded into Caramilk blocks.

The company also released its Jaffa and Pineapple Lumps mash up last month – Jaffa Lumps.

The launch coincided with the company calling on local manufacturers to take over production of Jaffas, Pineapple Lumps, Buzz Bars and other Kiwi treats.

Manufacturing will move to Australia if a suitable option can not be found.

The company earlier said it was working through potential candidates.

Owners of multi-unit complexes where some people can’t afford to pay their share of earthquake strengthening costs could be in line for Government assistance.

Building and Construction Minister Nick Smith revealed the possible support at an event in Wellington yesterday, as new laws requiring the identification and upgrade of earthquakeprone buildings take effect this week.

The new regime divides the country into three categories.

In high risk areas including Wellington buildings must be assessed within five years and upgraded within 15 years.

Medium-risk locations such as Hamilton and Nelson must have buildings assessed within 10 years and upgraded within 25 years, while in low-risk areas like Auckland the timeframe is 15 and 35 years.

However, the timeframe for registered heritage buildings can be pushed out by a further 10 years, and low risk and low usage buildings can be exempted.

Schools, hospitals and emergency buildings like fire stations will need to be assessed and upgraded in half the time.

Unreinforced masonry facades and parapets in high traffic areas will also need to be strengthened sooner.

An Auckland house is being marketed for $990,000 and saying “attention first home buyers”.

Martin Honey of Ray White is advertising the cottage at 12 Quadrant Rd, Onehunga and asked if the marketing was reasonable, he said: “For Auckland, no. But for Onehunga, yes. I wouldn’t be saying that if it was in Otara or Manukau. But in Onehunga, the average price is about $1.1m. For that area, our first home buyers are spending that money. People who come back from overseas, or they have been renting quite a while, they’re on high incomes, two people working...” were capable of paying that, he indicated. - NZME

Sexism in Silicon Valley may be coming in for a reckoning, prompted by women coming forward with stories of sexual harassment by industry bigshots. Apologies, resignations and self-reflection have followed, although it’s too soon to tell if they will produce meaningful change. Dave McClure, a prominent venture investor, said yesterday that he is sorry for making “inappropriate advances” toward several women in workplace situations, and is no longer leading the venture capital fund he co-founded, 500 Startups. He remains a general partner at the firm.

Tourists spending up The Bay of Plenty is riding a tourism high, according to new estimates. In the year to May, tourists spent close to $1.8 billion in the Bay – a 6 per cent bump on the previous 12 months. Of that, visitors spent $721 million in Tauranga and $93m in the Western Bay, according to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment estimates. Tourism Bay of Plenty chief executive Kristin Dunne said the local tourism industry had seen “extraordinary growth rates”. - NZME

Inheritance given away

Nick Smith A contestable assistance fund has been set up to help private owners of heritage buildings meet strengthening costs.

Yesterday Smith said more assistance could be offered.

“I am also exploring options for Government assistance in multi-unit complexes where some parties may struggle to raise the finance for their share of strengthening costs.

“Officials are considering whether we could extend other Government housing guarantee products schemes to assist in these circumstances.”

Smith said earthquakes were New Zealand’s biggest natural hazard.

“These new laws involve an uncomfortable and inevitable trade-off between safety and cost but will save hundreds of lives in future quakes when fully implemented.”

The daughter of Australian mining magnate Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest, who famously donated $A400 million to charity in May, says she’s glad her father gave away her inheritance. Sophia Forrest, 22, says she’s “not entitled” to any portion of her father’s $A5.78 billion net worth, according to figures from Forbes. “Inheritance has never really made sense to me,” Ms Forrest said. “You’re not entitled to that money, you haven’t earned it, you haven’t worked for it.” - NZME

Parents don’t bother An advertisement for a job at an Auckland vet clinic warns that it won’t suit someone who plans to take long periods of “time off for parenting”. The job, as an internal medicine specialist at a new clinic being set up by North Shore Veterinary Specialists, is being advertised on the New Zealand Veterinary Association’s website.

The ad says Dr Mark Robson “has a good understanding of the personal qualities and commitment that are needed”. “Looking to the future, this is not a position who (sic) would suit someone who plans to take long periods of time off for parenting, due to the likelihood that the medicine team will always be small.”

Anti-dairying Ruralco gears up for big days attack ‘smacks of desperation’ ■ RURALCO IN-STORE DAYS

By Colin WillisCroft

Colin.w@theguardian.Co.nz

The marquee is up and farm suppliers are rolling in – this year’s Ruralco in-store days are just about ready to get under way.

The annual event, now in its 23rd year, will be held at the company’s Ashburton site this Thursday and Friday, and Ruralco chief executive Robert Sharkie says everything is coming together for another successful couple of days.

“The two-day event brings together the best of our suppliers

By Colin WillisCroft

Colin.w@theguardian.Co.nz

Irrigation New Zealand’s Andrew Curtis has added his voice to those critical of Greenpeace New Zealand’s latest attack on farmers.

Curtis said Greenpeace’s report, released last week, titled Sick of Too Many Cows, was “just the usual misinformed comment” he would expect from the organisation.

The report not only took aim at dairy farmers, linking intensive dairying with cancers and infectious diseases, it also had a swipe at irrigation schemes, calling for an end to public funding of big irrigation schemes.

It also contained a section headed up “How irrigation drives water pollution”. None of it came as a surprise to Curtis. “They [Greenpeace] have got an agenda around no more cows and somehow they’ve got irrigation tied up in that.

“That ignores the fact that 50 per cent of the irrigated area is not for cows.”

Curtis acknowledged there were still challenges facing the irrigation industry, but that was what it was focused on.

“Our attitude is ‘let’s just get on with it and do what we can to make sure irrigation improves’.

“We’re solutions focused, not focused on electioneering.”

That Greenpeace chose to release its report only months out from an election was not lost on Federated Farmers water spokesman Chris Allen, who farms near Methven. He said the federation

Andrew Curtis

to showcase the latest technologies and innovations, helping farmers stay ahead of market trends by providing access to the best expertise and knowledge in the rural supplies market.”

Sharkie said this year there will be more than 100 suppliers on site, covering all farming sectors.

However, it is not just about expertise and equipment, he said, with the event an anticipated date on the Mid Canterbury calendar.

“It is a bit of a social meet and greet. We’re going to be catering

for between 800 and 1000 on both days, so it’s a place where farmers can catch up with a lot of old contacts.”

With confidence coming back into the rural sector, Sharkie is hoping for a good turnout.

“There’s going to be a lot of keen suppliers very keen to talk about their wares, with some good deals and innovative products available,” he said. “The staff are all geared up for it, so hopefully the weather will hold.”

The event runs on Thursday from 8am to 5.30pm, and on Friday from 8am to 4.30pm.

■ WHOLESALE SEEDS

App helps with crop planning Chris Allen expects plenty of hyperbole and sensationalism and welcomes an open forum leading into the general election, but this latest antifarming rant smacks of desperation.

It leaves little room for constructive dialogue with no concrete language throughout the report, he said. “This is Greenpeace doing a good job of what they do best – plenty of headlines and hyperbole.

Let’s be frank, those claims made about New Zealanders’ health being endangered due to livestock is extreme to say the least.”

Agronomists and farmers are reaping the rewards of better connectivity with an app that captures, shares and stores data in real-time for better crop planning, protection, nutrition and management Wholesale Seeds sales and marketing manager, Patrick Davis, who is based in the company’s Ashburton office, has linked more than 150 of the company’s clients to the Agworld app, allowing the Wholesale Seeds team to record key production information and advice.

During inspection of paddocks, they use the app to immediately share the information with the farmer client.

“Farmers reply on our specialty recommendations, which they receive directly to their mobile device [or computer] via the Agworld app, Davis said.

“This includes timely and critical advice about fertiliser use, what fungicides or insecticides are needed, application rates and other crop management and agronomy issues.

“While Wholesale Seeds agronomists are carrying out inspections on crops, any observations made or recommendations that are needed can be sent straight from the agronomist in the paddock direct to both the farmer and the company’s head office.

“The head office can then batch-up necessary products and have these delivered straight to the farm gate that day for use.”

Davis said the use of the Agworld app was boosting efficiencies for Wholesale Seeds and for its farmer clients by enabling both parties to access and record crop recommendations in real-

time on a secure, transparent and accurate system.

He said these actions are then tracked, recorded and used to underpin crop production planning. “We use the Agworld app in our planning and budgeting with clients throughout the whole year,” he said.

“It is integral to maintaining records about the implementation of advice during the busy season, observations noted during the season and then preparing season summaries and reports at the end of the season and at the start of the new year.

“We can track costs and keep the client in the picture to help with key decision-making and outcomes as the season unfolds.

“It is saving time for us and the farmer and we are making better use of data for important input decisions ...” Davis said.

MARKET REPORT Dairy The weather during June in Canterbury produced only eight dry days and conditions on the heavier soils remain puggy and cold.

Few frosts were experienced during the month, but now, July starts with a heavy blanket of snow on the hills.

The heavy roller is out on dairy pastures during the winter break as many are now just over a month from calving.

Most are reporting feed covers on the milking platform are on target for calving as staff are busy catching up on maintenance and winter holidays.

Stocks of calf skins are high from last year and Slink Skin Southland advises they will no longer pick up casualty calves and lambs in the spring.

The interest in once-a-day milking is growing with big numbers attending a seminar up north and researchers reporting the choice of cows is more important than the breed for this system change.

Lamb Lamb export schedules were steady this week but demand from local trade dealers continued with prices here in the south reaching $6.60/kg cwt.

ASB reported that June lamb prices were nearly a record, suggesting the shortage of supply looks good for spring pricing.

Processors also report mutton stocks are low and the first sales of chilled meat have been made into China.

Lincoln University announce that plans for Taratahi Agricultural Training Centre to take over Telford are awaiting ministerial approval.

They also report that the Government will provide $85 million of the $206 million required to develop the new education and research hub in partnership with AgResearch, at Lincoln.

Wool The 2016/17 wool season has ended, but the problems for wool have not, as mer-

chants and brokers report big stocks of unsold wool both in warehouses and farmers’ woolsheds.

PGGW is calling for more investment in innovation and promotion for crossbred wool, but most are finding it very hard to find any positives for the future of the product.

The last sale saw only 70 per cent sold and coarse crossbred indicators are now back close to yearly lows of February, even for the better types lines.

The small offering of mid micron wools lifted in price as the gap between demand for finer micron wools widens.

Such is the weakness in the market that some have expressed fears that the dag crushing industry is under threat of survival.

Beef Stable schedules for both prime and bull beef this week, but exporters report some price resistance in Europe and easing of values from North Asia.

Bank analysts report record beef prices for June and reaffirm good prospects are forecast for the coming year.

Bull sales have been successful nationwide with some vendors reporting prices are up 20 per cent on last year and all sales have had high clearances.

Monsanto reports it will fight scientific claims of their product Roundup’s ingredient links to cancer as all in agriculture will be concerned about this well-used herbicide.

Deer More stable venison schedules this week as processors report frozen stocks are cleared and chilled supply is due to start in the middle of this month.

More changes in the deer processing sector as Alliance plan for their reconfigured Lorneville venison plant to reopen in mid-2018 as both big co-operatives upgrade and rationalise their capacity, ready for the future.

Ashburton growers rule wheat-growing competition

By Colin WillisCroft

Colin.w@theguardian.Co.nz

Ashburton growers dominated the recent United Wheat Growers (UWG) competition, winning three of the five sections and claiming the majority of podium places.

David Millar of Culnady Farm won the protein section, while Andrew West from West Farms and Dave Redmond of DC & LJ Redmond topped the biscuit and premium milling categories respectively.

experienced a tough finish to the season.

Although he was not judging this year, Tayler said he understood those who were judging were pretty happy with the standard of entries.

He said the competition was a great way for wheat growers to promote an awareness of their industry, which as a sector struggled for recognition compared to other rural sectors, such as dairying.

There were some highly skilled

Bill Davey of Rakaia’s Springdale Farming Co won the milling/gristing category, while David Birkett of Birkett Farming in Leeston won the feed section.

Entries were down but the quality was pretty good at the national competition, UWG director Michael Tayler said.

He attributed the slight fall in entry numbers compared with previous years to wet weather around harvest time, which meant many growers, particularly those in South Canterbury,

people involved with some good stories to tell, he said, including Eric Watson, Guinness recordholder for the amount of wheat harvested per hectare and last week named the inaugural New Zealand Arable Farmer of the Year.

Results from the competition were announced at the United Wheat Growers’ annual meeting and board elections at Lincoln last week, which saw the re-election of director Brian Leadley to the four-person board.

Profitable farming for today is the theme of Beef + Lamb New Zealand’s Farmsmart seminar in Christchurch later this week.

The seminar, which is being held on levels two and three at Addington Raceway from noon on Thursday, will focus on how small management changes can make a big difference to farm productivity and profitability.

It will feature presentations from farmers and technical experts who will discuss practical tools and management changes that can make a big difference to farm businesses.

Speakers include David and Kate Acland from Mt Somers Station, whose topic is Diversification: what, how and why; North Canterbury farmer Dan Hodgen, who will look at small changes with big impacts; and Tony Marett, who will discuss how to get ahead without your own farm.

Mark Zino and Chris Mulvaney will look at on-farm changes to meet the market; Melonie Sheppard will cover getting the most from your farm staff; and David and Jo Grigg, along with Derrick Moot, will discuss the sub clover farming system at the Griggs’ Tempello Station.

The seminar’s format will include concurrent sessions, where farmers can choose who they want to listen to, along with a panel discussion.

This year the panel, made up of Rosie Bosworth from Pure Advantage, Caroline Saunders from Lincoln University and farmers Mark Zino and Mark Warren, will discuss The future of our food.

For those who can’t attend, the second half of the afternoon will be live streamed on the Beef + Lamb Facebook page. The other sessions will be videoed and put online later.

Dressing up at the Radiant Hall

By Tanya Zoe RoBinson

A

s you may have heard, the team at the Ashburton Museum is preparing for a new exhibition titled Meet You at the Radiant Hall. It’s been a fun project to work on.

When we first started thinking about the exhibition we realised that the museum had few tangible items to demonstrate how important the Radiant was for locals. We wondered how we would tell the story?

We are lucky to have on hand the excellent collection of photographs by the late photographer, Gordon Binstead, who extensively documented this district from the 1950s.

His photographs are likely the most important documentary evidence telling of everyday lives in mid-century Ashburton.

The stories Personal stories have also been a great inspiration. We found that

many people of a ‘certain era’ recalled the events, conventions, meetings, dances, balls – and even boxing matches – that took place at the hall. Many could offer an anecdote, a connection or story, telling of their experiences.

We’ve heard of many marriages that had their origins in a first meeting across the dance floor – surely the Radiant was responsible for more match-making than any other venue in Ashburton?

We’ve also heard of the music, fun, laughter – and a lot about the seating arrangements for dances.

With girls seated along the wall to the left, couples to the right and the boys ranged somewhere down the back (or a variation on that formula), it’s remarkable that any relationships were started!

Apparently the mad dash across the hall at the first beat of a dance tune was enough to secure a dance partner and maybe even progress to the couples’ area in the future.

Objects and images But while stories are readily available, it’s taken a while longer to also put together a collection of objects suitable for exhibition.

Early on we put out a ‘call to arms’ through our networks, to find out if anyone still had memorabilia, programmes, photos or recollections about the hall.

We have been impressed with the response. All sorts of items have been brought to our attention.

We now know of drum kits and dresses, shoes and more.

Perhaps one of the most interesting things has been seeing some of the clothing that people wore.

Even at one event it can be a diverse mix. In its own way the many styles of dress tell of the variety of events and different groups that came together at the Radiant – for many years, we’ve been told, “the only place to be seen in Ashburton”.

Honouring the Fallen During the period of the First World War, 1914 to 1915, many men from the Ashburton District signed up to fight for the Empire against the German army. Many did not return — almost 450 from Ashburton were killed. The first Ashburton men were killed on April 25, 1915 — the first Anzac Day. Ashburton philanthropist and patriot Frederick Ferriman presented a special flag and a flagpole to the families of those men.

The Ashburton Museum with the assistance of the Rotary Club of Ashburton Plains, has erected in front of the Museum one of the original Ferriman flagpoles, and on the centennial of the death of each Ashburton soldier will fly a replica flag. An original flag is on display in the Museum.

This week the Ashburton Museum honours:

■ RUGBY

Fekitoa key to midfield

By GreGor Paul Fixing their attacking game is the All Blacks’ priority this week but when it comes to picking their midfield, the emphasis may be placed on defensive security.

Whatever else happens at Eden Park, the All Blacks will feel they have to contain the attacking threat of Johnny Sexton and Owen Farrell working in a double receiver partnership.

Those two did enough in Wellington to show they can pick holes in a defence – albeit one a man short – and develop space for a potent Lions back three.

They also used their craft and guile to expose the inexperience of new cap Ngani Laumape and lure him into impetuous defensive actions.

Shoring up that midfield and ensuring that it doesn’t concede soft tries will be the key objective for the All Blacks, which is why expectation is strong that Anton Lienert-Brown will shift to No 12 and Malakai Fekitoa will be introduced at centre.

Of the available options – assuming Ryan Crotty is not quite fit enough to play despite appearing to warm up vigorously in Wellington before the game – Lienert-Brown and Fekitoa are the most individually and collectively experienced.

The former has 12 test caps, the latter 23 and that compares with Laumape one and Jack Goodhue, who hasn’t yet played or even been on the bench.

As a combination, LienertBrown and Fekitoa have started

Malaki Fekitoa is likely to start at centre for the All Blacks. three tests together, the last two as recently as November 2016 when they played against Ireland in Dublin and France in Paris.

That experience of playing in Dublin, a huge game given the Irish victory two weeks prior in Chicago and the need for the All Blacks to respond, may be the deciding factor in leading the selectors to a Lienert-Brown-Fekitoa partnership.

While they bring attacking

qualities, their experience in holding the defensive structure, playing within patterns and reading the opposition attack are the key qualities they bring.

Fekitoa especially gave a defensive masterclass playing for the Highlanders against the Lions.

He was aggressive but controlled. Bold but not overtly taking risks and dynamic and influential without feeling the need to overplay his hand.

It was a hugely impressive performance from Fekitoa that not only provided a timely reminder of his class, but showed his depth of character to respond positively to being left out of the initial All Blacks squad.

There is mounting speculation he could be on his way to Toulon later this year, but in the interim, his Highlanders team-mate, halfback Aaron Smith, is confident that Fekitoa will have plenty to prove if he’s given the opportunity to do so.

“In the Highlanders we have a way we like to use him and he’s very good on our D and a good ball carrier for us,” says Smith.

“It is good to see him playing good rugby again, but then I think he has been going good all year.

“He is a real physical player and that suits his game, he’s really confrontational and he has a take nothing attitude.

“He’ll go hard and also if he gets the opportunity there is a bit of a chip on his shoulder and maybe a bit of a no fear attitude coming in.

“He knows what he has to do, but just seeing him around, he’s really happy to be here.”

There is still the outside possibility of Crotty, who damaged a hamstring in the first test with a prognosis of a two-to-four-week recovery period, being passed fit to play.

If that is the case, then he’ll presumably be restored to the No 12 jersey with Lienert-Brown at centre and potentially Fekitoa on the bench.

Lions ‘poked the bear’ Lions coach Warren Gatland has warned his players against provoking the All Blacks with ill-chosen words before the deciding third test at Eden Park on Saturday. In an interview with the British media, Gatland said his side had “poked the bear” with victory in Wellington, but was confident enough to express delight at how the Lions had shut down the All Blacks’ famed attack. “Saturday was pretty massive for all of us: we can) go to Eden Park thinking we are capable of winning.”

- NZME

100 is just a number Captain Kieran Read’s 100th test has been reduced to mere statistic status by the All Blacks, who are focusing on a bigger prize at Eden Park. Read will become the seventh New Zealander to raise a century in the third test against the Lions on Saturday. Asked if the century could become a distraction, Steve Hansen was dismissive. The century, he said, would barely raise a mention this week.

- NZME

Selections vindicated No matter what happens in the third test on Saturday, Warren Gatland will leave a second successive Lions tour vindicated. Four years ago, the Lions coach committed the cardinal sin (in Irish eyes anyway) of dropping Brian O’Driscoll for the third test against the Wallabies, an act that created a huge backlash. The fact that the Lions won 41-16 (after winning the first test and losing the second) means Gatland’s decision was the right one. The end justifies the means at this level, although as Ireland’s captain famously said afterwards, the Kiwi had fallen off his Christmas card list.

Praise from McGeechan Sir Ian McGeechan has praised those who helped him after he collapsed at Westpac Stadium on Saturday night before the Lions defeat of the All Blacks. The former British and Irish Lions coach thanked those who helped him on the night and all the people who sent him well wishes. “I would like to thank all the well-wishers and to all those who provided brilliant care both at the stadium and at Wellington hospital,” McGeechan wrote.

Rebels still re-signing Melbourne Rebels have re-signed captain Nic Stirzaker and forwards James Hanson, Steve Cummins and Fereti Sa’aga despite the Super Rugby club’s future being unclear.

The Rebels and Western Force have continued signing player contracts despite the Australian Rugby Union considering the clubs for axing from the Super Rugby competition.

Big tick from Henry Sir Graham Henry says a Lions series victory would be an “astronomical” achievement which can further propel Warren Gatland into the All Black coaching frame. Henry is the only man to have coached the All Blacks and British and Irish Lions. “Warren’s done a great job in getting them all together and he’s possibly a future All Blacks coach.”

In brief Bronze for Black Sticks The Black Sticks Women have claimed the bronze medal after defeating Korea 1-0 at the World League semi-final in Brussels.

It was a tight game with very few chances for either side, but defender Brooke Neal provided the pivotal strike with a penalty corner flick just six minutes from fulltime.

New Zealand held much of the possession throughout the contest but couldn’t hit all cylinders in the attacking half against the defensive Koreans.

Goal-fests in lower grades

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

Mid Canterbury’s footballers were back in action over the weekend after bad weather forced cancellations last week, with players having to deal with mud-bowl conditions both home and away.

In the men’s second division, the MCUFC senior men continued to struggle as they have done all season, falling in a close game to Selwyn UFC 3-2.

The win sees Selwyn move three points clear of MCUFC,

who now sit in fifth place.

The Methven FC Seniors have continued their capitulation in division four after only being able to muster a 0-0 draw against last placed Papanui Redwood Artillery.

The draw sees Methven slip even further away from league leaders the Western Rhinos, who now hold a nine point lead over third-placed Methven.

In the masters grade, the MCUFC Masters picked up their first three points in division

three after cruising to a comfortable 3-0 victory against Parklands United Black.

After struggling to a 4-2 victory against Papanui Redwood earlier in the season, MCUFC’s 19th grade side found no issues away from home on Saturday, blasting their way to a 12-0 victory.

Both the 17th and 15th grade sides played in 13-goal matches at the Ashburton Domain.

The 17th grade side were able to secure a victory, taking down Shirley Boys’ High School 8-5, in

what is a developing trend of high scoring matches for the side.

However, the 15th grade side were on the losing end of their 5-8 score line in a thrilling match against division one leaders Costal Spirit.

In the women’s grade, Mid Canterbury did not have to worry about muddying their boots after the Universities Dragons defaulted.

Mid Canterbury still leads the division by an impressive 10 points.

First podium of season for Paddon

By Dale BuDge Kiwi rally driver Hayden Paddon has finished second at Rally Poland after surviving the short final day in tricky conditions and helped get his 2017 season back on track.

The Hyundai driver recorded his first podium of the season and even moved up a spot from third overnight after MSport Ford driver Ott Tanak crashed early on the final morning.

Paddon’s Hyundai team-mate Thierry Neuville picked up his third win of the season and closed the gap to world championship leader Sebastien Ogier to 11 points.

The Belgian cruised to victory after Tanak’s crash while Paddon took no risks and eased his way through the final four stages to finish 1:23.9s behind Neuville.

It was the first career podium for his British co-driver Seb Marshall on their third outing together.

“It is a big relief – today has been pretty difficult trying to drive so slowly,” Paddon said.

“This feels like a win – you have no idea how hard this year has been for me and this really relieves the pressure.

“A huge thanks to the team – they have been really patient – and hopefully this helps us move forward now for the future.”

Ogier had an excursion off the road and into a paddock on the final day but did enough to finish third.

Toyota’s Jari-Matti Latvala, who was in the fight for the lead earlier in the event, won the power stage while Ogier minimised the damage by collecting four bonus points to Neuville’s one.

Paddon is up to seventh in the championship standings while his Hyundai team has reduced the M-Sport Ford lead in the manufacturer’s championship to 22.

The next event is Rally Finland at the end of the month.

Brisbane is firming as the likely destination for Jeff Horn’s first WBO welterweight title defence, but when it will happen or who he will fight remains entirely up in the air. Horn’s promoter, Duco Events boss Dean Lonergan, says he won’t engage in a bidding war with other state governments to host a rematch with Manny Pacquiao, but a workable date will need to be found due to Queensland’s unpredictable weather. Everything hinges on whether the Filipino great wants to continue boxing after his contentious points defeat to Horn in Sunday’s Battle of Brisbane.

Vatuvei off to Salford Warriors icon Manu Vatuvei is reportedly set to exit the NRL to join UK Super League side Salford next season. The 31-year-old is contracted to the Warriors until the end of next season but according to reports out of England, the club has granted him an early release to allow him to continue his career with the Red Devils.

Roosters lock in Tupou Sydney Roosters have locked up former NSW State of Origin winger Daniel Tupou until the end of the 2021 NRL season. Tupou, who played four games for the Blues in 2014 and 2015, was off contract at the end of the season but signed a four-year deal yesterday. The Roosters have already confirmed James Tedesco’s arrival at fullback, while Michael Gordon is expected to move to the wing and play on another year.

Hunt wins Origin call-up Queensland coach Kevin Walters has slammed rumours that Daly Cherry-Evans has fallen out with Maroons selectors after they again snubbed the Manly playmaker for next week’s series decider in Brisbane. In-form Sea Eagles half Cherry-Evans was a glaring omission when Walters named his squad for July 12’s game three in alphabetical order including debutants Cameron Munster and Ben Hunt.

“DCE’s Origin career is still well and truly alive,” Walters said. - AAP

Johnston misses record

Hayden Paddon is happy to be back on track.

South Sydney flyer Alex Johnston has revealed a team trainer was responsible after he narrowly missed out on a club record six-try haul in their demolition of Penrith on Sunday. Johnston put in one of the most memorable individual performances of the NRL season as he ran in five tries in the seven-tries-to-two rout. He fell agonisingly short of setting a new record for the foundation club after on several occasions missing out on a sixth four-pointer. - AAP

■ WALDORF

In brief

Trainer targets Ryder Stakes Andrew Campbell has the final stakes event of the season on the programme of one stable member and the Opaki trainer’s hand could yet be doubled.

His promising two-year-old Waldorf is on a path to the Listed Ryder Stakes and the next performance of debut winner Getty could also see him bound for the July 29 feature at Otaki.

“Getty had a week off after he won at Wellington and we’re going to take him to Te Rapa on July 15 for an 1100 metre race,” Campbell said.

“We’ll see how he measures up there. Waldorf will run in the Ryder and if Getty goes okay he‘ll probably have a crack as well.”

A son of Excelebration, Getty was a trial winner at Waverley and he was confidently expected to deliver at Trentham.

“He travelled well until he got to the really deep stuff on the course proper,” Campbell said.

“He got the job done though and the form looks good now with the third horse (Veuve Clicquot) of Tony Bambry’s winning since then.”

M3

Waldorf was a debut winner earlier in the season at Tauherenikau before he finished runner-up in the Listed Wellesley Stakes and was then given a break.

The Highly Recommended youngster had to have another decent spell after he was badly galloped on in the Karaka Million and he resumed with a third placing at Te Rapa earlier this month.

“He was a run short with the trials being called off,” Campbell said.

“He hit the wall 50 metres out, but I was happy with him and the first two (Sacred Rebel and Karisto) look smart horses.

“He’ll strip a fitter horse at Awapuni on Saturday.

“I’m pretty happy with him right now.”

Longchamp, who was a recent first-up third at Trentham, will also be in action there in an open 1400m sprint.

“It was too tough for him at Wellington,” Campbell said.

“He’s going well and we’ll look at the Opunake Cup for him and then go down to the Winter Cup.” - NZME

Awapuni warhorse Authentic Paddy has returned to Lisa Latta’s Awapuni yard to commence his quest for further top-flight honours.

“He’s had a nice break and he’s back in now and looking really good,” she said. Authentic Paddy’s record features a victory in the Canterbury Gold Cup among his 10 wins and he also has Group One placings in the Herbie Dyke Stakes, Zabeel Classic (twice) and the Captain Cook Stakes (twice).

Good start for Cuneen Group One-winning New Zealand jockey Racha Cuneen has made a solid start to his current Australian stint. The 25-year-old is trying his luck in Queensland and tasted success aboard Future Event at Ipswich last Friday and with Navy Gal at the Gold Coast on Saturday.

Cuneen has based himself with trainer Bruce Hill.

High hopes for jumper

Waldorf may be a runner in the Listed Ryder Stakes.

PHOTO RACE IMAGES

Expectations are high for the debut hurdle winner Heistheone.

Accomplished jumps trainer John Wheeler produced the Istidaad gelding for a comfortable firstup win over the smaller fences at Hawke’s Bay on Saturday.

“I’ll probably look at the Grand National Hurdles,” he said. - NZME

Slow start costly

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

Mid Canterbury’s A hockey team played out a thrilling match against the West Coast on Saturday, narrowly losing to the visitors 5-4.

After losing heavily in Greymouth last year, captain Sam Moore said they were not quite sure what to expect heading in to this year’s match.

In conditions that suited the West Coast-

ers with a very wet turf and rain falling, they scored three goals in the first 20 minutes.

“It was pretty much like we forgot there was a game on,” said Moore.

“We were quite good when we got in to the game.

“We scored all our goals in the second half but when you put yourselves that far behind it is always going to be difficult to get back and win it.”

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

WordWheel

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The moment you decide to impress yourself, the adventure will be on! (But if you are hung up on impressing anyone other than yourself, it will cause a delay in your journey to greatness.)

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): There is some heaven here on earth, and you want to experience it. Also, heaven on earth wants to experience you.

When you approach the moments with this in mind, the portholes open.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Those with many opinions may have few facts. As for the ones who have plenty of both, they’re worth listening to today. You may not agree, but you’ll come to a resolution faster for learning what they know.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Orphans and strays will be attracted to your generosity and compassion.

Your posse will get bigger and bigger. The growth won’t be the least bit draining to you.

In fact, you’ll get back more than you give.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Counting the cost isn’t the same as paying the price. In fact, often those who paid didn’t count. The bottom line is that you don’t have to know the bottom line to do the right thing.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Living well is spending your life your way. You realise exactly what way that is by being forced to live by other people’s rules and figuring out, “This just isn’t me.”

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Don’t be in too much of a rush. If you want everything yesterday, you miss the opportunity to learn how it’s made, earned and delivered. There is wisdom and creativity hiding away in the origin story.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You have taken a child into your heart even though you probably already knew that children have a way of bruising the hearts they live inside with their naive will.

You’ll handle it and be stronger for it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): It will take personal restraint not to say the thing on your mind, but if the idea seems unhelpful or has the slightest chance of causing offence, it won’t be worth the breath it takes to utter it.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Enduring love isn’t always so visible in the action of your daily life. There are those you communicate with in thought only who continue to influence you in ways both minute and remarkable.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The luckiest thing you can do today is to teach others born in another time. It doesn’t matter if they are older or younger; there’s value to impart about the experience of your particular slice of time.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Usually, you can see quite well with your heart, and its vision extends as far as needed or becomes microscopic for the extremely close. It can even see the invisible. Your heart will never need glasses.

Winter is on its way, and with it comes the freezing cold, winds and rain. Most of us can shelter in a comfy home, warming away the cold in front of a heater or curled up in a cosy bed at night.

But for thousands of Kiwis who do not have access to the everyday basics of food, warmth and shelter, winter is a time of stress and misery as they struggle to survive.

The Salvation Army needs your support to provide the type of care that will help people survive this winter, and to give them the tools needed to prepare for the winters ahead. By supporting our Winter Appeal, you can help others this winter … without even leaving the warmth of your home.

Please, donate now to give someone shelter from the storm.

Daley keeps the faith NSW coach Laurie Daley has named an unchanged 17 for the Blues’ State of Origin decider against Queensland next Wednesday. Injured forwards Tyson Frizell (back and ribs) and Boyd Cordner (calf) will both be given a chance to prove their fitness, while Jack de Belin has been named as 18th man for cover. Frizell will undergo scans to determine the full extent of his injury, while Cordner will be given until later in the week to prove his fitness after copping the blow in Game II. The announcement marks the first time since 1996 that NSW have kept an unchanged side for the entire Origin series.

First title for Kang Phil Watson will be taking to the paddock for Mid Canterbury in their season opening pre-season clash against Ellesmere today.

Hammers’ first outing

BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

For the first time this season, rugby players will be swapping their club colours for the green and gold of Mid Canterbury.

Mid Canterbury will be kicking off their season against Ellesmere at the Kirwee Domain this afternoon, and co-coach Craig Dunlea will be hoping it will be a great chance for players to show their worth.

“Tomorrow is about seeing how guys react and there are some guys we want a better look at going in to the Heartland season,” he said.

“We’ve got some new shapes and some new patterns so it is just about trying to pick that up and see who can fit in to the play.”

One player who will be getting his chance to prove himself at the level above will be Rakaia first-five Tom Hanham-Carter, who has been one of the form 10s of the local competition,

and will be starting there today.

“He’s played some great footy and as the season has gone on he has really shone and got better and better,” said Dunlea.

“He has deserved a crack and he is definitely someone we want to have a look at in the next level.”

Mid Canterbury: Adam Williamson, Jackson Donlan, Adam Stewart, Iromi Dawai, Angus Lindsay, Phil Watson, Kurt Polson, Seta Koroitamana, Tyler Blackburn, Tom HanhamCarter, Isireli Masiwini, Nete Caucau, Christian Vainerere, Dan Fransen, Jarred Percival. Reserves: Phill Mills, Tom Heywood, Dominic Vesesio, Sam Watt, Hamish Mackenzie, Will Mackenzie, Kipi Manu-mua, Jason Kjestrup.

Getting the chance to prove himself in a different role will be Rakaia hooker and captain, Jackson Donlan, who will captain the Mid Canterbury side for the first time.

“He has captained Rakaia this year and he has done a great job

Fekitoa holds midfield key P17

with them so he’s there,” said Dunlea.

“We haven’t confirmed our season captain yet and that is something we will get through after this game and figure out where we are going for this season.”

With a long season ahead, big

names such as Maleli Sau and Eric Duff have been left out of the squad to allow them to recover from niggling injuries to ensure they are ready to go for the season.

Dunlea will be hoping the brotherly pairing of Hamish and

Will Mackenzie will be able to make an impact of the bench today.

“Will’s been round the scene for a few years and has a few games under his cap.

“It is Hamish’s first year and he is another we are just having a bit of a look at as he has just come back in to the district after being in Australia,” said Dunlea.

With the upcoming season as a whole, Dunlea said he is excited with how things have progressed in the pre-season with the limited time they have had available as a squad.

“We are probably a wee bit underdone.

“We have started a bit later than usual but we have to respect what the clubs do,” he said.

“On the other side, it is going to be exciting to see how the guys react in their first game and how they fit in to the team environment.”

Danielle Kang birdied the final hole to win the Women’s PGA Championship yesterday for her first LPGA Tour title, edging defending champion Brooke Henderson. Kang bogeyed the tricky par-3 17th and Henderson closed with two birdies to move into a tie for the lead, coming up just short on a 30-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18th. But Kang responded with two solid shots to get to the green in two, and then two-putted for the victory.

Windies upset India The West Indies could yet salvage a draw in their one-day series against India following a thrilling 11-run win in the fourth international in Antigua.

India appeared on course for a third straight win after restricting their hosts to 9-189, but the Windies fought back to bowl the tourists out for 178. They now trail 2-1 in the five-match series with one remaining.

West Indies pace bowler and skipper Jason Holder took 5-27 as India, who required 20 from the final 20 balls, lost their last four wickets for 19 runs.
