The All Blacks may not have won the Rugby World Cup, but Ben Wilson, 5, and his All Black-themed pet lamb called Archie were winners at the Ashburton A&P Show on Saturday, the pair judged the best in the fancy dress pet lamb aged seven years and under. Ben, who is an All Blacks’ fan, lives on a Wakanui farm which is mainly cropping, but also has a few sheep.

THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY

EA Networks is taking a closer look at two fires that started from faults on its lines at the weekend.

An area of grass at the foot of a power pole on Coldstream Road caught alight about 1.15pm on Saturday and six hours later a transformer box on the Mayfield-Valetta line was burning.

EA Networks network manager Brendon Quinn said the company was investigating both incidents, which occurred as irrigation demand rose on the back of extremely high temperatures that day.

A bird is suspected of causing the Coldstream fire, where about 50 square metres of grass on the side of the road caught fire. Fire appliances from Hinds, Willowby and Ashburton attended as a

precaution. Quinn said initial inquiries suggested the fire started from a fault on lines on Crows Road, though crews would be at the scene today looking for more detail. “Potentially a bird has carried a bit of wire or straw up on the line and it has caused a fault. When you have a fault, a lot of excess current flows down the network and it burned off a connection outside the Coldstream substation and a bit of metal falling from that has set the grass on fire.”

The initial fault was several kilometres from the substation.

He said staff would walk the line today looking for areas of scorched line or a dead bird.

At Mayfield, at 7.15pm, firefighters attended a fire in a low vault transformer box.

Excess current or a loose connection

were blamed for overheating, which caused the box to smoke.

Quinn said staff had replaced the box yesterday and tried to find the exact cause.

Both incidents would be further investigated, though it looked more like coincidental bad luck.

The network is heading to its business time, when demand for irrigation drives electricity use up.

Quinn said at this time of year birds building nests could cause problems and anyone who spotted something unnatural or unusual on the power line network should report it to EA Networks on 0800-430-460.

■■ METHVEN HOT POOLS

Hot pools close to reality

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Methven Adventures Limited has announced its $15 million capital raise for the town’s hot pools project is complete.

Director and project leader James McKenzie said he was pleased that about one dozen investors had been able to come up with about $7.5 million of equity, matching a loan announced by the Government’s Provincial Growth Fund in February.

The investors were mainly from Mid and South Canterbury, with a couple from Christchurch.

A further exciting announcement was that Methven Adventures had secured its targeted site on Main Street from Methven Trotting Club, with the land sale agreement going unconditional.

McKenzie said the primary design of the hot pools development had now been completed, and the next design stage was under way.

Ashburton-based builders Bradford Building would be the principal contractor, and a start to the foundation for the plant building should be made in December, with the main building started in the first quarter of next year, he said.

Methven Adventures was currently waiting for a construction discharge consent to come through from Environment Canterbury, after which building could begin.

“We are just working through the final details of getting all the contractors on board and getting into the build,” McKenzie said.

Summer next year was the targeted opening date, either December or early 2021.

Investors have come up trumps and secured the Methven hot pools development.

Order issued on north-east water contamination

By Susan Sandys and Sue Newman reporters@theguardian.co.nz

The contamination of wells in Ashburton’s north-east has forced the medical officer of health to issue an order requiring the problem to be further investigated and a solution found.

A boil water notice was recently issued for households in the area and on Friday medical officer of health Dr Alistair Humphrey said that the amount of data collected

by Environment Canterbury on both E. coli and nitrate levels in the area did not provide a thorough enough assessment of the contamination issue., Under Section 69ZZP of the

Health Act 1956 the order requires ECan, with the Ashburton District Council (ADC), to carry out a full assessment of the area and to remedy the situation.

Humphrey said ECan would be required to carry out a more detailed assessment of the area, while the council would have to work with ECan to remedy the situation.

The local council had responsibilities under the Building Act for homes to have potable water, and it had a responsibility to its constituents to ensure safe drinking water, he said.

“A strong investigation needs to take place. With their (ECan and

ADC) agreement, I have given them until mid December to carry out that assessment.”

A range of land-use factors in the area from grazing to septic tanks are on ECan’s radar as possible causes.

Included in these are an abbatoir operation on the outskirts of Ashburton.

Ashburton Meat Processors was identified as a possible source in a draft report to Humphrey, with discharges from the operation said to effect groundwater quality.

Several residents have also suggested the Ashburton Cemetery to the north could also be a con-

tributor to aquifer contamination.

One of the solutions could be the extension of Ashburton’s town water supply into this area, says mayor Neil Brown.

The council does have the extension project on its long-term plan radar. It went down this path several years ago, but there was only limited interest from property owners in connecting to the town supply, he said.

The council had a programme to extend urban services into urban/rural areas and this was now happening in the Beach Road area. Previously urban services have been extended to the Taits

and Glassworks Roads area.

Elevating the north east area connection on the council’s programme could occur if it received letters of request from residents as that would show the degree of support, Brown said.

Support for an urban connection, which came at a cost, could be impacted by the number of property owners who had now sunk deep wells because of potential contamination of shallow bores, he said.

If the council did opt to extend the town water supply it could also look at an extension to the town sewer at the same time for economy of scale, Brown said.

■■ ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

Shooters protest gun laws

By Heather Chalmers

heather.c@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury recreational hunters and competitive shooters are up in arms about Government plans to further tighten gun laws in the wake of the March 15 Christchurch mosque attacks.

At the Ashburton A&P Show, a protest tent staffed by members of both the Rakaia and Ashburton branches of the New Zealand Deerstalkers Association and the Ashburton Pistol Club was aimed at raising awareness of the firearms reforms.

Deerstalkers’ Rakaia branch spokesman Stewart Hydes said there was a startling lack of understanding amongst the general public and licenced firearm holders about the proposed changes, which were in addition to the gun buy-back scheme.

As well as hitting law abiding firearms owners and gun clubs the hardest, a second raft of gun reforms would also impact on people’s civil liberties, he said.

It was unlikely to prevent gangs and criminals getting hold of firearms illegally.

“Overseas – particularly in the United States – people talk of the gun lobby, but we are just ordinary New Zealanders who happen to be firearm licence holders.

“The main reason why we are protesting is that we see these firearms reforms as an attack on our quintessential Kiwi way of life.”

Hydes said he was born into a rural family at Ashburton Forks and grew up around firearms.

Now living in South Canterbury, he said firearms were regularly used by his family “for pest control, euthanasia, putting food on the table and to keep growing boys recreationally occupied in a healthy, outdoors, fitness-oriented activity.

We don’t play weekend sport, do drugs, smoke cigarettes or go to the pub – we get out in the hills hunting instead.

“I see firearms as part of my own personal heritage and culture – about which I am passionate and responsible.”

In brief Man missing Police are seeking information on the whereabouts of 39-yearold Aidan Salmon, who has been missing from Hinds, near Ashburton since Friday. Aidan was reported missing after failing to keep an appointment and police and his family have concerns for his safety. Police would like to hear from anyone who has seen Aidan or his vehicle since about 8pm on Friday. The vehicle is a light blue and silver 1996 Mitsubishi Challenger, registration number BCE109. He is also believed to have a large black dog with him, possibly a Rottweiler. If you have seen Aidan or his vehicle please contact Ashburton police on 105.

Nationally, recreational hunters harvested 150,000 to 200,000 big game animals (deer, tahr, pigs and chamois) each year along with millions of pests like rabbits, hares, wallabies, goats, possums, ducks and geese.

In early October, Hydes helped organise a Rakaia branch Wallaby hunting trip to Hakataramea Valley. Twenty-two participants, including several juniors, harvested 185 wallaby for the weekend. The tally taken off the property by recreational hunters within a month was 530. “This is essentially free-of-charge pest control for the farmer.”

Hydes, who made a submission to the Select Committee in Christchurch last Thursday on the reforms, both on behalf of the Deerstalkers’ Rakaia branch and individually, said he was concerned about the way the law reforms were being rushed

through Parliament. It was particularly concerning that submissions had to be made before the outcome of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the mosque shootings.

The gun buy-back and amnesty scheme, put in place to allow people to hand in semi-automatic firearms that had become illegal under new legislation, appeared to be failing, he said. “As with the Australian experience simply too few of the targeted firearms will be handed in.”

The branch also wanted Government to drop its proposed gun register, as international experience showed it was expensive and impossibly unwieldly to accurately maintain, while doing little or nothing to impact positively on safety.

Public safety was not improved by measures that substantially increased the cost and difficulty

Allen’s Ashburton offer a great service

of obtaining and holding a firearms licence for the law-abiding, as that would only push people towards unlawful possession.

Under the changes, health practitioners would be able to notify police if they have concerns about a licenced firearms owner’s health or wellbeing.

“The branch believes this bill misses the mark, in terms of measures that will actually improve public safety.

Public safety is not improved by measures that focus on, target and penalise the law-abiding in ways that leave criminals largely untouched.

“These measures seem certain to force the closure of many ranges and gun clubs in the country, the very places where people go to learn to lawfully and safely shoot, sight in their rifles, and engage in competitive shooting,” Hydes said.

A person has died in a workplace incident in rural Central Otago yesterday. Police say they were called to the scene – on the Pateraroa-Paerau Road south of Ranfurly – about 9.15am. WorkSafe confirmed yesterday afternoon the incident was fatal. A spokeswoman said the organisation was making initial inquiries. Police were unable to provide any details regarding the nature of the incident or the property or any information about the person who had died. - NZME

Tavern gutted by fire An iconic Lake Tekapo bar and restaurant has been gutted by fire. Emergency services were called to the Lake Tekapo Tavern and Reflections Restaurant on State Highway 8 in the Mackenzie Country just after 1pm yesterday.

Fire and Emergency spokesman Andrew Norris said the blaze was now contained – and they were just dampening down the site. It’s a 600sq m building, and more than half of it has been severely damaged. Video of the fire shows the building consumed by flames as fire crew worked to bring it under control. There were no injuries reported.

■■ ASHBURTON TRUCK SHOW

Big rigs earn charity big dollars

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Thanks to the organisers from this year’s Ashburton Truck Show, $13,000 has been donated to the Child Cancer Foundation. Handing over the money are Todd Smyth, Jarrod Ross and Rick Harkness from the truck show team with front from left Fiona Ward and Sue Green from Mid Canterbury Connect and Claire Robb development manager, southern from the Child Cancer Foundation.

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 011119-SN-0369

Mid Canterbury sizzles From P1 Ashburton fire chief Alan Burgess said the district was drying out, helped by the weekend’s high temperatures, and there was plenty of growth to fuel fires. People needed to take care if they were burning and make sure ashes were completely out, with no embers that could be reignited by wind.

Fire crews also attended vegetation fires at Geraldine and Lauriston yesterday.

The MetSerivce recorded Ashburton’s highest temperature on Saturday at 32 degrees Celsius and the warm weather is expected to last through today. A trough of low pressure will follow the high, with scattered rain forecast later in the week.

Temperatures soared around the region, with Geraldine recording 34.6 degrees and unofficial reports of 35 degrees in the township.

New Zealand’s hottest November temperature on record is 35.6 at Lake Coleridge in 1920. Gisborne recorded 34.8 in 2016 with Saturday’s 34.6 at Geraldine now the third highest November temperature.

In Ashburton yesterday, the mercury hit 31 at 2pm. Today is expected to reach 28, following another sweltering night.

Environment Canterbury is also reminding farmers about good management practices as irrigation is turned on to supply water to crops and pasture.

Good irrigation management was essential to reduce on-farm costs and loss of contaminants to waterways through run-off and leaching. The fine weather was perfect for anglers on the first weekend of the high country fishing season, with over 100 boats on Lake Coleridge for the annual fishing contest there.

Take almost 200 trucks, thousands of people and an enthusiastic and hardworking team of organisers and you have a sure-fire recipe for success.

And on Friday that success was measured in thousands of dollars as proceeds from this year’s Ashburton Truck Show were handed over to the Child Cancer Foundation.

Just over $13,000 was deposited in the foundation’s bank account and that money will make a huge difference in the lives of child cancer victims and their families said development manager for the southern region Claire Robb.

“We receive no government funding so donations like this make a huge difference for children and their families.

This is a huge boost for us in our role,” she said.

At any time across Canterbury, the foundation is supporting between 40 and 50 children and each week nationally, three children are diagnosed with cancer.

The first two truck shows saw funds given to organisations that support blood cancer victims.

The original intention was for the show to be held every two years and if another is staged it will not be until 2021, organiser Rick Harkness said.

There was a huge amount of work involved by a very small team and with ground costs indicated to be going up and costs rising, there could be pressure on the event’s future, he said.

“Two weeks prior to the show I was burning the lights in my office until midnight every night.”

Through the foundation the Mid Canterbury Connect group will also benefit. It works with child cancer victims’ families to help them remain part of or reconnect with their community while their child is ill. Volunteer organise a range of events that families and children can share.

Valuation team of one becomes two

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Determining the value of a block of rural land was once as simple as the buyer and seller agreeing on a fair price, shaking hands and writing out the cheque.

Not today. The valuation reports that would once have been lucky to make five A4 pages can now run to more than 40 and the detail that’s on those pages covers a wide range of issues that at first glance might appear to have little to do with how much that land is worth, says long-time valuer Alistair Wing.

Whether a valuation is been carried out to meet a bank’s requirements or whether it’s for a sale, there are now a range of environmental and management issues that must be taken into account, that are critical in both determining a value and in understanding how that land can be farmed, Wing said.

Taken collectively that data can determine whether current farming practices can be changed and whether is scope for further development. The contents of that valuation can make or break a sale, he said.

Changing requirements for valuations have meant a significant increase in work and for Wing that has meant bringing on

board another valuer, Mark Lemon.

The pair have a long history – they studied at Lincoln Universty together, flatted together and became registered valuers in the same year, 1979. Both went farming and now they are finally working together on the same team. Lemon has spent the past eight years working in a support role for sales agents in the rural sector, providing valuations and preparing the documentation needed for farm sales. He is also a licensed real estate agent.

The devil is most definitely in the detail now with farm sales, Lemon said.

“You can’t just sign up for a farm today.

You need to do due diligence and you need to have all the information about the farm because that now determines what you can do in the future.”

A good valuation protected both the buyer and the seller, he said.

“It means they’re acting with knowledge on their side, rather than just on what they think the place is worth. The role of the valuer is more critical than its ever been before in the rural sector.”

Both Wing and Lemon will work from home bases, but Lemon will also have a sales base with Hastings McLeod Real Estate.

A 90-year-old woman has been bashed in her own home in Levin during a seemingly brazen daylight robbery attempt.

Gisborne-based Sam Virtue said her grandmother was viciously attacked by two young women on Saturday.

The family are appealing for information about what happened while they anxiously wait to find out whether the 90-year-old now has a brain bleed.

Both of the women’s sons are at her bedside in hospital.

“There was a knock at the door, so she answered it,” Virtue said.

One of the two women at the door claimed she badly needed to use the toilet,

so the 90-year-old woman obliged and let the pair into her home, she said.

But while her back was turned the elderly woman was struck over the head with an object before more blows followed, she said.

The beating included being kicked while she was on the floor, she said. She had to crawl to a phone to dial 111, she said.

St John transported the woman to Palmerston North Hospital.

Virtue said her grandmother’s purse was missing after the attack.

She is appealing for anybody who saw any suspicious activity in the area to come forward.

Virtue described the 90-year-old’s home as being near Horowhenua College.

Scorching success for show

By Linda Clarke

linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Shade was a hot commodity at the Ashburton A&P Show on Saturday when temperatures hit the mid30s.

Show president David Butterick said while the livestock handled the hot weather, the “human stock” were less resilient and some showgoers left early because it was simply too hot.

But that was a minor scorch mark on what was a successful 142nd annual show.

Gate numbers were up on Fri-

day and Butterick said the organising committee was pleased at how the two-day event had panned out.

It gave many farming families a chance to connect with others, away from farm pressures that included recent Government policies around greenhouse gas emissions and freshwater.

“It was a little bit hot on Saturday afternoon and that may have deterred a few. One person said it was 34 degrees.

“But I really enjoyed going around the show meeting and

greeting people. That is one of my jobs and some people, like judges, came from a long way away.”

Butterick said that despite onfarm worries, people were in good spirits. “It helps for people to go and talk to neighbours and have a chat. It’s a good bit of therapy.”

Show helpers were back at the showgrounds yesterday tidying up and packing away gear until the 143rd show rolled around next year.

Butterick, after two years as president, will make way for Peter Stewart next year while Victor

Schikker moves up to be the vice president.

He said it was a long but worthwhile commitment to the show and he would have duties as immediate past president.

The Lauriston farmer was straight back to work today on the property where he grows crops, and runs beef and sheep.

The weekend’s hot weather meant irrigation was first on the job list.

The MetService recorded Ashburton’s high at 32 degrees on Saturday, while the local Graham’s

Weather Station recorded 33.2 at 5.23pm. On Friday, the high was half that, at 17.3.

The all-time high, according to the local station, is 36.7 recorded on February 6, 2011, while the highest temperature so far this year was 34.7 on January 5.

Warm currents from Australia brought the burst of spring heat over the weekend with the unseasonably warm weather expected to continue into the week ahead.

Peters to take stand as lawsuit reaches court NZME More than two years after it was publicly revealed he had been overpaid superannuation, lawyers for Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters say they’re set to explain how the error happened.

Peters will today trade Wellington for Auckland as he takes the stand to give evidence in a privacy lawsuit he is bringing against former National Government ministers Anne Tolley and Paula Bennett, the Ministry of Social Development, the chief of the public sector watchdog, and a top civil servant.

Since 2017, the New Zealand First leader has argued he was the victim of dirty politics when

media were told he had paid back seven years of superannuation overpayments.

National has consistently denied being behind the leaks, as has the public service.

Over the next three weeks, politicians, officials and journalists will front the High Court to figure out whether Peters was wronged and by whom.

But while the core of the case will largely focus on how the information got to reporters, a remaining question from the saga has been how the overpayments began in the first place.

On August 27, 2017 – less than a month out from a general election – Peters issued a statement to media announcing he had given back

years of superannuation overpayments to the Ministry of Social Development. It came in response to questions from reporters.

Peters had, since 2010, accidentally been receiving a single person’s pension, despite living with his long-time partner Jan Trotman. Peters said he had repaid the money immediately after the error was raised with him.

It was later reported the payments added up to about $18,000.

In preliminary hearings, the court was told by Peters “an error had been made when the form was completed”.

“The plaintiff’s analysis is that the MSD processed an incomplete form and made the mistake so that it was the MSD who made

the calculations, not the plaintiff,” Chief High Court Justice Geoffrey Venning said in a decision in October.

Peters’ lawyer, Brian Henry, says when he makes his opening statement today, he intends to explain it was a mistake by ministry staff, not Peters, that led to overpayments. Henry would not elaborate, but said the issue would be canvassed extensively.

Lawyers for the government departments are also understood to be calling staff who directly dealt with Peters’ case, potentially clarifying the situation.

Court documents earlier showed Peters was also sent a letter four years into his seven years of overpayments by officials ask-

ing him to confirm if he was “single”.

“I have no recollection of receiving the same but I do not doubt I would have received it,” Peters told the court.

But he said because nothing had changed in his living situation from 2010, he would not have thought there was a reason to correct it.

Meanwhile, Peters’ lawyers are seeking up to $450,000 in damages and declarations his privacy has been breached.

They are not, however, pointing the finger at anyone in particular.

“It’s a group of people had the private information, and they were a confined and contained group of people,” Henry said.

Holiday season in Israel

O

ut of our 21-day stay in Jerusalem, 14 days have been affected by Shabbat or public holidays when everything closes; restaurants, shops, museums etc.

Public transport also stops. Religious holidays and Shabbat start at sunset and finish the following day at sunset so at least on some of the affected days we could get out and about until mid afternoon.

We’ve needed to be organised and make the most of the seven days completely unaffected by Shabbat/ holiday closures and ensure we got home in time on the days when these things closed in the late afternoon. We made sure we had food enough to last us through when things were closedyou can imagine that all of Jerusalem was doing the same thing so the markets were crazy busy on the unaffected days!

We landed in Israel on September 30 which was the middle of Rosh Hashanah – the Jewish New Year holiday. Arriving when we did and being available for much of October when so many public holidays were happening was primo for housesitting as so many Israelis go away for the holidays and need their pets looked after. We were lucky to find a couple needing housesitters for three weeks here in Jerusalem and have really enjoyed looking after Chairman Meow (the cat) and having a base here that’s felt like home.

While we were spending our Rosh Hashanah waiting for a ride at the airport or meandering about Mt Zion, religious Jews were probably practicing the custom of Tashlich. It’s where they empty their pockets into a body of water like a river or lake symbolising casting one’s sins into the water. This holiday marks the start of the 10 days of repentance which culminates in Yom Kippur, the next major holiday.

On Yom Kippur Israel completely shuts down – even the Palestinian buses don’t run and everything is closed. People don’t even drive cars so the roads are clear of traffic. Some roads get quite busy with pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchairs, kids on scooters and rollerblades etc. as you can see in the video on my ‘Holiday Season in Israel’ blogpost (www.kiwioutthere.com).

But the area near our apartment was very quiet. I went for a walk around the block not long before Yom Kippur finished and it was fun to see people with disabilities whizzing up and down the usually very busy 6 lane Hebron Rd on their special trikes and a few kids biking in the bus lanes and scootering around. In the synagogues people were praying and outside them kids were playing soccer in the street.

We visited a reformed synagogue at the Hebrew Union College for the beginning of Yom Kippur where much of the service was in English. We walked a good 45 minutes to get there.

The view of the old city from the Synagogue was amazing. The service was mostly sung and was an interesting experience (although quite long). Most of the words of the songs and prayers were quite beautiful.

I recorded the last one they sang which is the backdrop for the video I made about Yom Kippur.

Walking home on traffic-less roads was really quite an experience. I was filming and taking photos of this unique situation without realising that not only do Jews fast from food and drink for 25 hours during Yom Kippur, they also go without technology.

The Israeli TV and Radio stations stop broadcasting and people avoid their computers and phones. I did wonder why noone was taking selfies or on their phones as you’d usually expect when people were gathering together! Whoops, hope they didn’t get offended that we ignorant tourists had our phones out.

So with the fasting and atonement for sins over with there were a few normal days before the next holiday kicked in. Sukkot actually lasts for a week with kids off school

and many Israelis on holiday. But the actual everything-closes-down-for-this-holiday-and-you-are-forbidden-to-work part is just the first day (sunset Sunday until sunset Monday) and then the final day on the following Sunday/ Monday.

Sukkot, also known as the Feast of the Tabernacles, is a kind of harvest festival that marks the end of the agricultural year in Israel. It is also when Jews remember the Exodus and their dependence on the will of God. The word Sukkot is the plural of sukkah which is the name for the temporary dwelling farmers would live in during harvesting. Sukkot are put up outside homes, apartment blocks, restaurants, in parks etc. They are thought to also remind people of the fragile dwellings the Israelites dwelt in during their 40 years of travel in the desert after the Exodus from slavery in Egypt. People eat in them and hang out, some even sleep there.

The biggest Sukkah in Jerusalem is put up outside City Hall so we went to check it out during the week. It was packed inside with people enjoying the various entertainment that came and went on the small stage.

We did a free tour of the City Hall while we were in the area, which featured a look in the Council Chambers, a great view of the city from a terrace and also looking at an amazing model of Jerusalem. We learned that although there are about 30 city councilors only the Mayor and the eight assistant mayor positions are paid ones.

Our guide pointed out from the balcony view and also on the model where Jerusalem had been divided/ Jordan for the years between 1948-1967. It was quite fascinating learning how the city had changed and was adapting and building up as the population was increasing.

On the last day of Sukkot, back in the days when the temple was standing, Jews would circle the altar seven times chanting prayers while holding what they refer to as ‘The four species’. All week we saw people walking round with meter long plastic bags with what looked like branches/ palms inside. We also came across a specific tent/ market just for the ‘Four Species’ which are 1. the fruit of the citron tree, 2. a ripe, green, closed front of the date palm, 3. a branch with leaves from the myrtle tree and 4. a branch with leaves from the willow tree.

It is tradition to bind these four things together, hold them and shake them while praying each day during Sukkot (except on Shabbat). While waiting for the bus I watched as an orthodox Jew had these things and was offering to say the prayers for/ with people who were passing by. One guy took up the offer and held on to the four species, shaking them and repeating a prayer or blessing, line by line, after the orthodox guy.

On the last night of Sukkot (which was the final holiday we were here for) we could hear yahooing and singing outside on the street.

It looked like a good crowd of people (maybe just men- hard to tell) going round a bit in circles, singing, dancing, with young children on their shoulders. It was really joyous and loud. I google to see that at the conclusion of Sukkot there is the Simchat Torah – a Jewish holiday that marks the conclusion of the year of Torah readings and the start of a new one. It is characterised by dancing and rejoicing – that’s what I assume the group on the street were doing. A nice note to end our time in Jerusalem on.

Ashburton becoming more multicultural

A

fter a long delay we are finally starting to see statistics from the 2018 census, and the initial data shows our district has been become more and more multi ethnic and multi-cultural in recent years.

According to the 2018 Census population and dwelling counts, out of 33,318 people who stated their ethnicity there were 2685 Maori, 1686 Pacific people, 2517 Asians, 429 people from Latina America, Africa and the Middle East and 27,912 Europeans.

This data shows nearly 14 per cent of the people in our district are migrants.

The actual number is probably higher, as the broad definition of “Europeans” groups together Kiwis from European ancestry and migrants from Europe.

And that’s compared to migrants being only around 1 per cent of the district’s population on the 2001 Census.

And we can see the increase in other areas. ESOL support is given at schools for eligible students who are learning English as a second language and are migrants to New Zealand, coming from a refugee background, or New Zea-

land-born students with at least one parent of migrant or refugee background.

On 2013 the Ashburton Settling In working group released a research paper regarding Migrants and Newcomers in Mid Canterbury. When we compared 2019 ESOL (English as a second language) students between this 2013 research paper the data showed the number of ESOL students

in a group of primary schools nearly doubled.

Ashburton District Council hosts the formal citizenship ceremony where new citizens take the Oath or Affirmation of Allegiance and receive their certificate of citizenship. Migrants can apply to become citizens after being in New Zealand with a resident visa for at least five years. It is optional, as they can live here as

A new language exchange

T

his October we had a great tour by Eco Educate of the resource recovery park, and learned that 92 per cent of the things ending up in municipal dump in Canterbury could be recycled or composted instead.

That sounds like a huge waste! (pun intended) If you haven’t been there yet, take a trip to the resource recovery park and learn about recycling, and possibly buy something from their store.

We have started a new initiative – Language Exchange.

It’s a Facebook group/board aimed to pair people interested in learning other (non-English) language with migrants who wish to converse to improve their English, so they can both teach each other new language skills.

They set the time and location (which could also be online through voice/video calls). Interested? Go to www.facebook. com/groups/NewZealandLanguageExchange We are also involved with the Community Van working group.

As a migrant I feel the lack of affordable public transport in Ashburton and around the district.

People rely too much on cars, which means there is very little pedestrian traffic, even in the CBD. In many countries people can live their lives without ever needing to own a car.

In Israel, for example, even the smallest towns have busses.

We are running a survey to gauge the need and interest in a community van initiative, and you can win a 100$ vouchers if you fill the survey: http://tinyurl.com/ CommunityTransportSurvey Speaking of Israel, read Kate White’s story about visiting Israel during the Jewish holidays.

Israel uses both our Gregorian calendar

(based on the Sun) and the Jewish lunar calendar.

While the day to day activities follow the Gregorian one, the Jewish holidays follow the Jewish calendar.

The Jewish year starts at September or October.

We are currently running a women’s group, a morning mothers and toddlers group (with Plunket), a board games club and occasionally other activities.

We are always looking for volunteers to run more social activities.

If you are passionate about book clubs, crafts or anything else and would like to organise a group for like-minded people with the full back and support of the Newcomers network (location, logistics, limited funding) – contact us at newcomers@ saferashburton.org.nz or 027 220 8791.

On November 17 we’ll be “Spring families’ picnic and games” event, a social get-together, potluck lunch and barbecue, with people bringing social games from different countries.

And finally, please look for young people (ages 18-30) to invite to our forming of a brand new Lions Omega Leo Club here in Ashburton.

Our district is blessed with service clubs, but this one will focus on younger people and give them a chance to serve the community while also having fun and engaging in a social activity with people their own age.

residents or permanent residents. The numbers of participants in new citizen’s ceremonies have risen from around 50 annually 10 years ago to over 200 new citizens per year.

As our community is becoming more and more diverse it is important we keep improving in welcoming newcomers and migrants to our community with open arms.

Programme going well We are so pleased to have started our fourth group of learners on the road code classes, and yet again the Ashburton Learning Centre are doing a great job of supporting our students in their learning. We have had four classes already and the students are going really well.

Our group is made up of women from the Philippines, Sri Lanka, India, Egypt, Samoa and New Zealand. It’s wonderful working with our students from different cultures and learning more about their background, beliefs and traditions. We are lucky that Ashburton has such a friendly, supportive community enabling us to run programmes like this.

Our students on the restricted licence programme are going well, with another test successfully completed recently. We are looking forward to having a couple more sitting their test soon.

Our mentors are doing a great job sharing their knowledge and skills. They are so generous with their time and we can’t run this programme without them. It’s great to see the students passing their licence and the mentor offering to take on another student. We really appreciate their enthusiasm and energy, as well as the wonderful child minders and volunteer driver who picks up students and brings them in to class. Thank you to all of our volunteers, you are amazing.

OUR VIEW

Time to show the love?

O

ne of the best things I saw at the Ashburton A&P Show was a large sign saying “Farmers feed cities”.

It was simple and factual, and could be the start of something much greater – for as pointed as the sign was, it was preaching to the converted. The show is about rural life and showcases our farmers and those who support them.

As a district we are missing a huge opportunity to tell our agricultural stories to a wider audience. Let’s have billboards on State Highway 1 at either end of town, in fact, anywhere that people passing through on that busy road will be able to see them.

The show’s theme this year was Seeds of Mid Canterbury and

our district is one of the world’s most prolific seed producing areas. Traditionally our farmers grew herbage seed, like grasses the clover, but in the last 20 years this has grown to include Asian brassicas, radishes, spinach, carrot seed and other specialty seeds.

Our dairy farmers include some of the best in the business and our sheep, beef and deer farmers are up there too.

The problem is, they’ve always

been a modest and private lot, not wanting to broadcast their successes.

An unintended consequence of that is that others take the limelight.

As a district, we need to publicly acknowledge the important role agriculture plays in our economy. Since 1996, our population has grown 33 per cent to 33,400 on the back of the expansion of irrigation and agricultural diversification.

In 2018, some 1539 agriculture-related businesses contributed $603.7 million to our GDP and employed 5553 people.

These industries contribute most to our GDP. So would it hurt a little to declare some love on a billboard?

Many farmers who ply their trade close to the State Highway know they are in the public gaze all the time. Their farms are immaculate and you often see tourists stopping to pose for pictures with the majestic Southern Alps in the background.

A drive to Christchurch leaves me in no doubt where the milk in my latte comes from. A few more billboards with simple messages might also help other people understand more about where their food comes from.

Farmers by their nature love the land and livestock, but they are not publicists and have been their own worst enemies keeping good news stories to themselves. They are improving, with ag-proud groups appearing on

social media and industry bodies finally catching up.

People are interested in where their food comes from. Farmers around here grow beef for McDonald’s and grow wheat for our bread; most Mid Canterbury people know the connection because we drive by it every day and our businesses reflect the farming mood of the time.

As Mid Canterbury farmer John Hall pointed out to me at the show, American and Canadian farmers have no problem proclaiming how proud they are to be farmers. We have some of the most efficient and environmentally food-producers on the planet, so why can’t we do the same? #Farmersfeedtheworld

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Monday, November 4, the 308th day of 2019.

There are 57 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On November 4, 1980, Republican Ronald Reagan won the White House as he defeated President Jimmy Carter by a strong margin.

On this date: In 1862, inventor Richard J. Gatling received a US patent for his rapid-fire Gatling gun.

In 1918, by early November Germany stood alone against the Allies and revolution was breaking out behind the lines.

But the German army was still resisting on the Western Front, and the New Zealanders’ capture of the walled northern French town of Le Quesnoy was a bold feat of arms.

In 1922, the entrance to King Tutankhamen’s tomb was discovered in Egypt.

In 1930, Phar Lap wins the Melbourne Cup. Ridden by Jimmy Pike, the New Zealandbred (but Australian-owned) wonder-horse beat Second Wind by two lengths to claim one of his greatest victories.

In 1956, Soviet troops moved in to crush the Hungarian Revolution.

In 1979, the Iran hostage crisis began as militants stormed the United States Embassy in Tehran, seizing its occupants; for some of them, it was the start of 444 days of captivity.

In 1995, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by a right-wing Israeli minutes after attending a festive peace rally.

In 2001, Hurricane Michelle roared across Cuba, forcing the government to shut down power for much of the communist island and evacuate 750,000 people.

In 2007, King Tutankhamen’s face was unveiled for the first time to the public more than 3000 years after the pharaoh was buried in

n recent weeks a couple of events have brought into stark relief the pressures our rural community are under.

Five hundred people cramming into a local Federated Farmers meeting at the event centre was a visible sign that all is not well, but of most concern was the message. A feeling of being under siege, where the goalposts are constantly being shifted, and of being asked to achieve standards which many in the science community see as unattainable. They were all messages echoed at a more recent meeting last week when I hosted National’s Agriculture spokesperson Todd Muller here in Ashburton and down in Timaru.

The flashpoint was the Government’s proposed water reforms, put out without any economic modelling or measurement of the impacts on farmers and rural communities, but the pressure has been building for some time. The Zero Carbon Bill, a new policy statement on biodiversity, RMA reform, a second tranche of firearms laws, and possibly more health and safety regulations on the way; all impacting on our farming families.

Some of the pressures are not from Government. The Reserve Bank, technically independent of Government, are making changes to capital requirements in the banking industry. New lending in the primary sector from the main banks has shrunk, and most are seeking to pull back

LETTERS every dollar they can.

In Ashburton we’ve borne the brunt of Mycoplasma bovis.

One in five of the more than 100,000 cattle that have been culled have been in our district.

Slow compensation timeframes have added to the stress of many farmers and their families.

Those stresses have taken their toll. In spite of higher prices across most areas of farming than in recent years, farmer confidence has plunged to historic lows.

Despite the glorious weather and carnival atmosphere of the A&P show, the tension was evident. For many agribusiness and service sectors present at the show, farmer spending is well down. That lack of confidence is flowing through to businesses in town, and ultimately impacts on the economic wellbeing of us all.

More tragic is the human factor. For many years urban resentment towards farmers has grown, particularly in the largely unchecked online domain, where facts like fencing of waterways and improved effluent management barely seem to matter. From time to time it spills over from hostility on Facebook pages and Twitter into “IRL” (in real life). Intentional sabotage of farm equipment.

Kids bullied at school because their parents are dairy farmers.

A recent Ministry of Health report presented to Parliament shows rural suicides are up 20 per cent at a time when suicides in urban areas have fallen by 10 per cent. Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor, meant to be the advocate for farmers in Cabinet, responded to these terrible statistics by saying that “high

numbers of suicide were a harsh reality for farmers”.

I can only hope he misspoke.

Collectively our farmers feed more than 40 million people around the world. Our primary sector accounts for 60 per cent of New Zealand’s goods exports, and employs tens of thousands of Kiwis in many communities like ours across the country.

There’s work to do, but we shouldn’t vilify farmers. Punish the small number of cowboys in the industry, but celebrate the vast bulk who keep us fed, clothed, and often, employed.

■■ THE SOUTH AFREAKINS

Concept of home explored Helene and Gordon are stuck in the same armchairs, on the same farm, in the same rut.

So begins the solo performance by New Zealand actor Robyn Paterson, The South Afreakins.

Helene longs to leave and experience everything the world and retirement has to offer, but Gordon won’t leave his milk tart.

When the couple finally immigrate to Otemoetai in rural Aotearoa, a hilarious and heart-breaking story unfolds as they discover it is hard work to find a place they feel is home.

The South Afreakins is a black comedy about leaving everything you’ve known and starting over again.

Now touring New Zealand, it was performed with a sell-out season at the Edinburgh Festival, followed by the VAULT Festival in London.

The South Afreakins will stage at an open hat night at Ashburton Trust Event Centre at 6.30pm on November 17.

Black Caps strike back

Allenton took on Greendale on Saturday and lost by four wickets.

■■ CRICKET

Gilbert plays lone hand

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

It’s not often that one man gets all of his side’s runs in a chase, but on Saturday Nick Gilbert did just that.

His Tech side headed to Rolleston to play one of two Ohoka teams in the Canterbury Country senior cricket competition, and after a late start it was all one way traffic.

Tech bowled first and dismissed Ohoka for just 35 runs, with two Tech bowlers taking five wicket bags.

Alex Veint took 5/11 while Harry Jones took 5/18 in what was a remarkable innings of cricket.

But it was to get even more remarkable, with Tech knocking the target off in just 3.5 overs.

Openers Gilbert and Liam

O’Connor got the job done for their side, with Gilbert finishing up 36 not out, and O’Connor there at the end without a run to his name.

He did face a few balls, and was even dropped once, but when it came to scoring the runs, all the action came off the bat of Gilbert.

It was a big win, and Tech’s fourth on the trot in their debut season in the Canterbury Country competition, making them firmly the team to beat in the competition’s south section.

Their match on Saturday was a crossover game with the north section, played in Rolleston as a mid-way meeting point, as will be the case when sides from Mid Canterbury and North Canterbury meet this season.

Back in Ashburton, Mid Canterbury’s other team in the competition, Allenton, were at home to Greendale and looking for their second win of the competition.

But it wasn’t to be, as the Allenton side – made up entirely of players with the surname Singh, with all of them hailing from the same part of India originally – went down by four wickets.

Allenton won the toss and elected to bat first, and although they lost wickets at regular intervals they eventually made it through to 160 all out off 31.1 overs, thanks largely to a late knock of 66 off 58 balls by Mana Singh.

Batting at number nine, his innings included five sixes and four fours, while Allenton’s next

best batsman was opener Satveer Singh, who scored 27.

Allenton then made an early breakthrough in Greendale’s chase, with a run out off the arm of Ranpreet Singh, but Greendale’s reply was steady and eventually they got there with four wickets in hand and two overs to spare.

Ben Alexander followed up his four wickets bowling, with a high score of 36 for Greendale, while Haigh Jebson finished the job off for his side, finishing 33 not out.

For Allenton, Ranpreet Singh and Mana Singh took two wickets each, with Ranpreet Singh finishing with 2/34 and Mana Singh taking 2/23 and a catch to round off a man-of-the-match performance.

Nearly four months later and 18,000 kilometres away, this time Martin Guptill and Jimmy Neesham’s contributions against England got the Black Caps over the line.

Guptill and Neesham, playing in the same game for the first time since their infamous Super Over combination in the World Cup final, were the blocks for Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi to build upon as the Black Caps leveled the Twenty20 series against England at one apiece.

A 21-run win at Westpac Stadium was started by Guptill’s 41 and Neesham’s 42, as the Black Caps overcame a slow middle period and a brief lower-order English scare to bounce back from their defeat on Friday in Christchurch.

A return to Wellington, where they haven’t lost a T20 since 2013, and the shorter boundaries on offer at the Cake Tin proved hospitable for the Black Caps’ bigger hitters, after being sent in to bat for the second straight clash.

Guptill’s return to the scene of his highest one-day score helped him bust his recent slump. After just one six in his last nine innings, Guptill welcomed English debutant Saqib Mahmood to international cricket with a long-awaited straight six.

Guptill’s knock – eventually ended after 28 balls by Adil Rashid – was complemented by a classic Colin de Grandhomme cameo – 28 from 12 balls – as the Black Caps had a helping hand from some ropey English fielding.

James Vince spilled a sitter from Tim Seifert, and after wicketkeeper Sam Billings put down Guptill, Vince couldn’t hang on to a much more difficult chance to remove the Black Caps opener.

However, Vince’s biggest blunder came when he dropped Neesham – on four – in the deep. Ross Taylor (28 from 24) and Daryl Mitchell (five from nine) had allowed England to wrestle back into the contest, but Neesham produced his highest Twenty20 score to give the innings impetus once more.

In his first Twenty20 since 2017, Neesham ended with 42 from 22 balls, and after Chris Jordan (3-23) and Sam Curran (2-22) had pegged them back, the Black Caps reached a defendable total at 176-8.

That total became eminently more defendable when Jonny Bairstow was dismissed first ball by Tim Southee.

■■RUGBY

Kolisi bursting with pride after World Cup victory Siya Kolisi grabbed the Webb Ellis Cup, gave it a kiss and hoisted it high as fireworks exploded and his team-mates – black and white – rejoiced behind him.

A blowout victory in the Rugby World Cup final for the Springboks.

Yet another transcendent moment for post-apartheid South Africa.

Led by the first black captain in the Springboks’ 128-year rugby history, South Africa’s multiracial squad swept to a record-tying third World Cup title by overpowering England in a 32-12 victory on Saturday night.

“We have so many problems in our country,” the 28-year-old Kolisi said.

“A team like this – we come from

different backgrounds, different races – came together with one goal.”

Among the post-match celebrations was the poignant sight of Kolisi being joined on the winner’s podium by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who was wearing a Springboks jersey with No. 6 on the back – the number worn by the captain.

It evoked memories of South Africa’s first World Cup triumph in 1995 and Nelson Mandela – the country’s president at the time – wearing the No. 6 jersey as he handed the World Cup trophy to captain Francois Pienaar.

Kolisi thanked the South African people on the farms, in the townships and in the streets.

“We love you, South Africa,” an

emotional Kolisi said, “and we can achieve anything if we work together as one.”

Kolisi was shaking with adrenalin as he belted out the national anthem before kickoff in Yokohama and was then at the heart of a massive effort by the Boks forwards, who brutalised England with their traditional power at the set piece to seize control of the game.

Mission Mt Somers 10km race winner Steve Anderson heads for the finish line in hot race day conditions on Saturday.

■■TRAIL RUNNING

Mission completed in Mt Somers

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Sweltering conditions made the going just that little bit tougher for the 400-odd entrants in Saturday’s Mission Mt Somers trail running event.

But, the smiles on the faces of the athletes as they crossed the finish line said it all – it may have been hot and hard going, but it was a whole lot of fun, too.

Starting and finishing at the Staveley Store, the Mission Mt Somers event was made up of

four different trail running events based on the Mt Somers Walkway track – a full 42km marathon, the 21km half marathon, the 10km and a 5km event.

The marathon runners set off at 7am when it wasn’t quite so hot, and 4.13.52 hours later the first of them crossed the finish line, and that was Weston Hill, who set an absolutely blistering pace in the heat.

He opened up a huge gap on the rest of the field, with second placed finisher Grant Guise well

back, finishing in 4.59.35 hours, just ahead of third placed Jamie Gardner.

For the women, Methven local Julia Grant was the first woman home in 5.28.47 hours, also well ahead of her nearest rival, Kristina Aluzaite, who crossed the finish line in 6.03.51 hours.

Things were a bit closer in the half marathon, with Hamish Elliott winning the men’s race in a time of 2.06.53 hours, and Ryan Carr second in 2.08.56 hours, and Rhys John third.

The women’s half marathon was won by Nicki McFadzien in 2.43.41 hours, with Tessa Walker second and Katherine Reardon third.

Leading the pack home in the 10km run for the men was Steve Anderson, who finished in a time of 41.57 minutes, ahead of Rhys Bowen in second and Zac Noone in third, while the women’s 10km title went to Lindy Millar in a time of 46.54 minutes, ahead of Lola Bryson-Boe in second and Morgan Ahu in third.

The 5km event attracted all ages and it was an under-10 entrant who crossed the finish line first for the blokes.

Hero Barrettelli won in 27 minutes flat, while Ruben Birt (in the 11-17 age group) was second, and another 10-and under was third, in Guy Orchiston.

For the girls, Hannah Hayes (11-17 years) was first to cross the line in 35.20 minutes, with Nadia Marinelli (18+) second, and Monique Johnson (11-17 years) third.

Futsal Whites go close to massive World Cup upset The Futsal Whites have come agonisingly close to a ground-breaking place at the World Cup, fighting out a thrilling 10-goal draw with the Solomon Islands before eventually losing on penalties in the OFC Futsal Nations Cup final.

Looking to make history by qualifying for the biggest stage for the first ever time, the Futsal Whites took an early lead with captain Miroslav Malivuk scoring.

The New Zealand defence then stood strong in the face of a Solo-

mons onslaught, holding a narrow lead at the end of a tense first half.

With less than two minutes on the clock, Hou pulled a goal back for the Solomon Islands to set up a grandstand finish. The Solomon Islanders showed their class with

Arnold Maeluma netting to send the match into extra time.

Despite some frantic end-toend action in the final minute, the scores remained deadlocked as the title decider went into a penalty shoot-out.

The Solomon Islands then held their nerve from the spot to qualify for Lithuania 2020 by the slimmest of margins, leaving the Futsal Whites heartbroken but proud of putting in such an outstanding effort.

Melody confirms her class

By Adam Hamilton Powerhouse Aussie veteran San Carlo is primed for his first Kiwi raid.

San Carlo shares a flight with emerging trotter McLovin to Christchurch, via Auckland, on Wednesday.

“It’s not ideal going through Auckland, but they have the chance to get out and spend a bit of time there before the flight down to Christchurch,” co-trainer and driver Bec Bartley said.

“They get to Christchurch Friday morning, so it’s still plenty of time to settle in before the big one.”

Bartley is adamant Kiwis will

get to see the very best of San Carlo.

“I truly believe he’s never been better,” she beamed.

“It’s like he’s gone to another level this campaign. It’s so exciting.”

San Carlo won the Kilmore Cup sitting parked first-up and has since produced runs of the race for fourth in the Victoria Cup and second in the Swan Hill Cup after doing all the work in quick times.

“Colt Thirty One had the perfect sit on him and it took the whole straight for him to nose us out.

“And Colt Thirty One is a really, reallt nice horse,” Bartley said.

This will be Bartley’s first drive

Bec Bartley in an NZ Cup, but she’s got great memories of the race.

“I’ve been twice. The first time I went, I was lucky enough it was year Kerryn (Manning) won with Arden Rooney.

“We joined the victory celebrations afterwards and it was fantastic to see Kerryn treated like a celebrity,” she said.

“I’ve had such a great time both trips over and never thought for a moment I’d get to compete in it myself.

“I can’t wait.”

San Carlo looms as such an important horse in all the NZ races he contests because he so often makes moves in his races and connections aren’t afraid to go and sit parked.

He’s sure to make the races genuine contests.

And the way he’s racing, he’s good enough to win a big one with the right sort of luck.

Star Kiwi mare Melody Belle has added a Gr 1 win in Australia with a dominant performance in the Empire Rose Stakes at a sodden Flemington.

Already a winner of nine Group One races in New Zealand including six this year, Melody Belle was racing in Australia for the first time since March last year in Saturday’s fillies and mares’ 1600m weightfor-age feature.

And she showed her class.

With Opie Bosson aboard, Melody Belle sat wide with cover back in the field from a deep draw before asserting her authority in the straight.

Melody Belle, the $3.80 favourite, chased down last year’s VRC Oaks winner Aristia ($17) and drew away to beat her by 1-1/2-lengths with Spanish Reef ($20) another 1-3/4-lengths away third.

“She’s a great mare,” trainer Jamie Richards said.

“We were quietly confident she was ready to go.”

Toms comes of age in Feilding victory Foxton trainers David and Emma Haworth came within a nose of a quinella in Saturday’s Listed Ricoh Feilding Gold Cup (2200m) at Awapuni, headed by a breakthrough performance by Toms.

The improving six-year-old won four races last season, in-

M8

delivering an excellent supporting performance in third.

The Haworth pair both enjoyed smooth midfield runs as Call Me Royal, Strolling Vagabond and Pacorus set a strong pace up front.

Balham was the first to make

his move, rolling to the lead in the straight under Darryl Bradley.

But Johnathan Parkes brought Toms home over the top of his stablemate in the last 200m, sweeping past and opening up a margin of a length-and-a-quarter at the finish.

Foster gets Hansen’s vote NZME Steve Hansen has endorsed Ian Foster to replace him as head coach of the New Zealand All Blacks.

Hansen’s tenure finished with a 40-17 win over Wales in the third-place playoff at the Rugby World Cup on Friday, six days after semi-final loss to England ended New Zealand’s bid for a third consecutive title.

Foster is a long-serving assistant coach and is among the candidates to succeed Hansen, who was an assistant to Graham Henry at the 2007 and ‘11 World Cups before taking over and guiding the All Blacks on a successful title defense in 2015.

“I guess with hindsight, because (Foster) has been there for the last eight years and done a fantastic job and understands what happens, he’s got a good head-start over everybody else on what’s needed,” Hansen said.

“He’s known for a long time that I’ll be leaving and he’s put together a very strong team.

“And if that team comes together they’ll have a lot of ingredients that are needed.”

Hansen, who had a stint as head coach of Wales before returning to New Zealand to join the All Blacks coaching staff, has previously touted Foster as the best option to succeed him.

Foster has been an assistant coach since 2012.

Steve Hansen had an impact on sentiment back in New Zealand, where many All Blacks fans see the need for an entirely new coaching partnership with fresh ideas.

Aside from Foster the leading candidates appear to include current Wales coach Warren Gatland, who will return to New Zealand after the World Cup to coach Super Rugby’s Chiefs, and Jamie Joseph, who guided Japan to the World Cup semi-finals.

Former All Black Scott Robertson, who has coached the Crusaders to the Super Rugby title in each of the last three seasons, has indicated his interest in the role.

But there is likely to be opposition to Robertson taking over from Hansen, who is also a former Crusaders coach, with the Christchurch-based team seen as exerting too much influence over All Blacks selections.

Cryptic crossword

Monday, November 4, 2019

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You don’t really think about whether you are attracted or repelled by a situation. You just are. You can trust this intrinsic and intuitive knowledge. It resonates from your core.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Strong feelings usually demand attention, while mild ones hum along in anonymity. It’s easy to move through feelings when you know what they are. Just ask, “What is this feeling?”

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The perception of you that matters most is your own. Even so, thinking “I’m doing great” is far less confident an inner dialogue than none. True confidence needs no validation, including from the self.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Striving to be something you’re not is either a silly goal or stroke of genius. How are you going to know who you are and who you’re not unless you dare to stretch yourself and try different things?

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The secret to telling a good story is starting at the beginning and stopping at the end. A common mistake is to start the story way before the true beginning and end it long after the optimal conclusion.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): What does it mean to believe in yourself? Certainly, taking excellent care of yourself is part of it, as is recognising your need for novelty and challenge, especially socially.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): It would be easy to judge those we don’t know, understand or agree with.

Instead of trying to stop that instinct, get curious about the person’s motivation and the need to judge will naturally fall away.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The one who takes initiative always has a well-earned advantage because making the first move takes extra energy and vision and it also incurs more risk. Be first today. It will be worth it for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Relationships can balance without being equal in measure.

Much depends on the fulcrum, which is a mysterious, deeply rooted agreement that both parties make often in unawareness.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): People with spicy goals attract and intrigue. However, when it comes to conversation, the topic doesn’t need to be all that exciting in order to make a fun conversation out of it.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Easygoing relationships are the most comfortable, but not always the most memorable or conducive to personal growth.

Difficult people usually make you better.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’d like to think that you’re still deciding how you feel about a situation, but the fact is that you don’t get to decide. The feelings come whether you tell them to or not.

Your first job is to figure out what they are.

Southern marches to the top

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Southern have opened up a good lead on the rest of the field after beating Fairton 7-2 in the third round of the Mid Canterbury Tennis open grade competition on Saturday.

In sweltering conditions at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre Southern dominated the top-ofthe-table encounter everywhere except at the top of the order, where top Australasian junior Diego Quispe-Kim again showed his class.

Initially not due to play on Saturday, Quispe-Kim came back in as a late change to the Fairton line up and took on Connor Brosnahan, who took to the court at number one for Southern.

Quispe-Kim beat Brosnahan 6-0 6-0 and combined with Mike Kerr to beat Brosnahan and Ga-

reth Evans 6-1 6-2 in the top doubles, while Southern got on the board with Evans beating Kerr 6-1 6-0 in the number two singles.

Both of the other doubles matches went the way of Southern, with Dianna Leonard and Ollie Bubb taking the middle doubles against Phil Crozier and Angel Spooner 6-1 6-2, and Amelia McKeown and Jess Aldridge beating John Leslie and Jim Barry 6-4 6-1.

All of the remaining singles went the way of Southern, too, with Bubb, Aldridge and McKeown all winning in two, while at six Leonard needed a third-set super tie-break to get past Barry, eventually winning 6-0 4-6 1-0 (10-4).

In another of the day’s big clashes, Hampstead moved from the middle of the table to second,

Eyeing up a backhand return in sweltering conditions at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre on Saturday was Jess Aldridge.

Hampstead took out two of the three doubles matches, with the middle doubles going the way of Josh Jones and Nishitha Maarka in three sets, and Lachlan Adam and Maia Liu beating Bridget Broker and Victoria Talbot 6-0 6-1.

In the top singles, youth overcame experience when Methven’s Tyler Leonard beat Pete Kirwan 6-2 6-1, while Henry Ross got another win on the board for Hampstead, beating Bryn Looij 6-3 7-5.

Leonard made it two wins for Methven, when he combined with Looij to beat Kirwan and Ross 7-5 6-3 in the top doubles.

Methven’s third and final win came courtesy of Neil Alombora at four, who beat Jones in three

sets, while Hampstead’s win was wrapped up with singles wins to Lachlan Adam over brother Jacob Adam, and Liu, who only dropped one game against Talbot, while at number two Ryan Watt was forced to retire from his match against Maarka.

The day’s third game pitted the two teams at the bottom of the table two rounds in against each other, where it was Dorie who came out on top, beating Allenton 7-2.

Old foes faced off at number one, with Dorie’s Rhys Cromie beating Allenton’s Jason Feutz in the top singles 6-1 6-2, while at two Lee Gilbert got one back for Allenton, beating Jayden Cromie 6-2 6-3.

The Cromie brothers proved

Hansen gives Ian Foster the seal of approval

too good in the top doubles though, winning in three, while Dorie also wrapped up the other two doubles matches of the tie.

Riley Breen and Tim Groves beat Jake Parsons and Mathieu Lucas in the middle doubles, while Tess Opie and Ashton Cromie beat Murphy Dargue and Sam Holland in the bottom doubles.

Allenton’s only other win was in the three singles, where Breen was forced to retire from his match against Parsons.

At four Groves downed Lucas 6-3 6-1, while at five Opie needed a third-set super tie-break to get past Dargue, and at six the youngest of the three Cromies in the Dorie side beat Holland 6-0 6-0.
