THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY

Mid Canterbury is bracing for more nasty weather, similar to the cold snap that hit the district in April.

Nasty weather heads our way

BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashworth shines in win P24

Mid Cantabrians are being warned to batten down the hatches and prepare for a nasty wintry outbreak featuring rain, gales and heavy snow.

Forecasters are expecting weather systems to mingle over the district this week, bringing volatile cold weather and even the possibility of snow down to sea level. MetService meteorologist Claire Flynn said from today we can expect the departure of the weather system which brought rain to much of the country over Queen’s Birthday weekend, and the immediate arrival of another system from the south.

While the new system will likely bring

strong southwest winds and put an end to the extreme low temperatures we have seen over the past few days, “it certainly will not be warm”, MetService warned.

Ashburton is expected to reach a maximum of 13 degrees over the next 10 days, and Mt Hutt may experience temperatures of -10 degrees tonight.

MetService also said there is high confidence that rainfall accumulations could reach warning criteria in Canterbury north of Timaru, with heavy snow likely above 400 metres.

And Canterbury Weather Updates weather analyst Russell Voice was warning that snow could fall even lower down, to 100 or 200 metres or even sea level, and farmers should be prepared to bring

stock down from higher elevations.

NZTA advised that the conditions have the potential to significantly disrupt travel to other parts of the South Island, particularly on the Lindis Pass, Arthurs Pass, Porters Pass, Lewis Pass and Haast Pass.

“It is recommended that you carry chains as these roads are prone to snow and ice throughout this time,” they said.

However, the forecasts brought good news for those preparing to head up to Mt Hutt on Saturday for the skifield’s opening weekend.

The mountain is expected to receive a dusting of fresh snow today and tomorrow before conditions start to clear at the weekend.

Donning dream dress-ups for Hospice

The most creative city

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Bizarre scenes played out in the Ashburton CBD earlier this month as hippies, heroes and holiday-makers descended on local businesses.

Seven companies let their imagination run loose on May 18 as they dressed to show their support for Hospice Mid Canterbury.

As part of Hospice Awareness Week, the Mid Canterbury team challenged the community to dress up and show “how they would like to live every day, for a day”.

Promotions co-ordinator Diane Haslett said the enthusiasm of everyone who took part was incredible, with everything from fishermen to backpackers grac-

ing the CBD. “The main focus was on making people more aware of hospice and also encouraging them to think about how they would like to live their life – which fitted well with the hospice philosophy of helping people live every moment, in whatever way is important to them.”

The business that submitted

Croy’s staff show how they’d live every day, for a day.

the wackiest and most original photo of their team were promised a morning tea shout, and Haslett said it was a difficult task to choose. However, Croys were eventually named as the winner.

All money raised on the day will help fund services offered by Hospice Mid Canterbury to support people with life limiting illness.

Not only is Wellington the most liveable city in the world, but it’s also been named the most creative in the country for the second year running.

Wellington city and five other districts in the region have been named in the top 10 most creative cities and districts in the country in the latest Infometrics Creativity Index. The index measures the proportion of the workforce employed in the creative sector.

While Wellington took top honours, Kapiti Coast district, Porirua, Lower Hutt, South Wairarapa district and Carterton district also made the top 10 list.

The results showed the Wellington region was leading the way as being the place where creative talent lives, develops and thrives, said Wellington Regional Economic Development Agency chief executive Lance Walker.

“The Wellington region is New Zealand’s creative heart, fuelled by leading organisations in the screen, tech and performing arts which attract world class talent to Wellington. This talent expands the creative economy throughout the region and helps inspire makers, artisans and creative entrepreneurs to succeed in all sectors,” Walker said.

Family in early-morning flood rescue

A family huddled on the roof of their Tolaga Bay home yesterday morning clinging for safety as water rose around them.

A woman, her partner and their 4-year-old granddaughter had no choice but to climb onto their roof while they waited for a rescue helicopter to arrive as water smashed against their home.

The woman said they woke at 3.30am to the sound of water lapping around it due to torrential rain flooding the area north of Gisborne.

“I made a coffee and we were just about to sit down and then all we heard was like a jet taking off and this rumbling ... then the water level rose within 10 minutes and rushed up to armpit level,” the grandmother said.

By 4am the situation had got worse.

Logs crashed through the windows and doors of the house.

The woman’s partner broke a hole in the clearlite over their deck and the woman climbed through the hole onto the roof before haul-

ing her granddaughter up too.

They huddled on the roof until 7am when they could see the extent of the devastation. The house was in the middle of the water and “it was like we were on a deserted island”, she said.

Cars and tractors could be seen floating down the river and houses occupied by family members on the same farm were also destroyed.

“All the wood, the logs and slash just crashed through the side of the house. It was just everywhere,

everywhere ... Dog kennels, boat, the woolshed was all gone. Power pole lines were washed away.”

St John paramedic Shane Clapperton said it was still dark when they received the call for help.

Rescuers had to wait until daylight, and for the weather to subside, before embarking on the rescue mission.

The only way to collect the family was to airlift them from their rooftop via helicopter.

Clapperton said the family did everything correctly and the wa-

He was able get from the helicopter onto the family’s home, then assist them off the roof.

Eastland Community Trust Rescue Helicopter duty pilot Hamish Ramsay said there was no other way the family could have escaped the roof, apart from by helicopter.

Tolaga Bay river levels had dropped dramatically by yesterday afternoon.

Cow shot in front of children A father has been left stunned after a cow was shot dead on an Auckland motorway in front of his young children.

The father, who wanted to be known only as Robert, was driving his family home from their Queen’s Birthday holiday when they were stopped by traffic on State Highway 1 just south of Silverdale. Robert said they had just pulled into a line of about 20 to 30 cars when he saw a cow on the side of the road. “As we got closer we could see a steer on the side of the motorway, just on the verge of the grass.

“I noticed it was scuffing its hooves and I thought it was going to charge the cars. It looked aggravated,” he said.

“All of a sudden a cop comes out from between the cars with a rifle and shot it in the head, he then walked up closer to it and shot it in the head again – in front of everyone.

“I’d literally just said to my girls ‘hey, look there’s a cow’ and then bang - that happened. It was surreal.”

Robert said he had his 3 and 4-year-old daughters in the car who saw everything.

“Afterwards my 3-year-old stuck her head in the car seat and covered her face as she was a bit scared and didn’t understand.”

He was shocked that they were not given any warning before the shooting.

“It was only about 25m away from where we were parked. I think there should have been a spotter or somebody behind to warn people to look away,” he said. “I thought it was weird that someone could discharge a rifle, and twice, with no warning for anyone.

A police spokeswoman said that just before midday on Saturday they received a report of a cow on the shoulder of the road on SH1 at Orewa.

■ LIGHT UP THE NIGHT

Lighting up the Methven night

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Methven Domain transformed into a rainbow wonderland on Wednesday night, as hundreds of glow-stick wielding, headlight sporting, fluorescent-clad walkers and runners took part in a fun run.

The event, called Light Up the Night, was organised as a fundraiser for Methven Primary School, and has been hailed a success by the overwhelming number of people who took part on the cold but clear night.

“We had online pre-registrations of approx 280 on Wednesday afternoon and over 420 people ended up registering,” said Methven Primary School’s Michelle Bungard.

“That’s just people out on the course – there were a lot of parents and siblings cheering on from the sideline too.”

Acting principal Sue Furndorfler said for her the highlight was watching everyone set off on the 1.25km course, which people did as many laps of as they could manage in an hour.

“It just looked amazing,” she said.

As students and parents tackled the track, school staff provided music, motivation and goodies from stations along the way.

Members from Methven Fire Brigade and Mountain Gym helped warm up the crowd beforehand, and Methven Lions were kept busy on the barbecue, assisted by staff and

board of trustee members.

A tractor and the school bus were lit up and spot prizes were handed out courtesy of local businesses – from beanies to bubble sticks, chocolates and vouchers.

It was the first time such an event had been held, said Furndorfler – and will certainly not be the last.

“We were looking for a fun event for fundraising and some of the staff had been involved in other local running events … and we’re really happy with how it all went.”

While fundraising totals are yet to be confirmed, students who took part also gained bonus training for the Counties Cross Country today.

■ SPEECHMAKER CONTEST

Talking her way to the top

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

When the Lions Clubs scoured from Rakaia to Dunedin looking for the top young speechmaker recently, it was an Ashburton College student who walked away as winner.

Faith Aione-Falealili, 18, will compete against the rest of New Zealand in Rangiora on August 4 after topping The Lions Club International District 202J Young Speechmaker Contest at Fenwick School, Oamaru.

In the event held last Sunday, contestants were required to give a prepared five-minute speech on a topic of their own choice, then a speech on the topic of “How can we deal with child poverty in New Zealand?”

Aione-Falealili was sponsored by the Ashburton Lions Club, and her own enthralling speech centred on Racism and the Bystander Effect, said the Lions Club’s Sally Woodhead.

Second placegetter was Michael McLeod from Otago University sponsored by the Balmacewen Lions Club and third was Anne Newmarch from Roncalli College who was sponsored by the Temuka District Lions Club.

An overall New Zealand winner will be chosen at the national competition to be held in Rangiora in August. The winner’s prize will be a four to six-week trip to the United States and Canada.

■ WATER ZONE COMMITTEE

‘Data behind every decision’ Water management decisions about should be based on accurate data rather than gut feelings – at least, according to Ashburton Water Zone Committee’s newest member.

Cargill Henderson, an environmental manager at ANZCO Foods’ Ashburton plant, was appointed as a community member of the zone committee in mid-2017 and is now is working to implement the Canterbury Water Management Strategy.

Before joining ANZCO, Henderson worked for a company that installed telemetered water and soil moisture monitoring equipment.

“We made sure good data got collected that could be turned into good information to help decision makers to manage their properties. This was mainly around soil moisture, irrigation management and also consent compliance,” he said.

Since joining ANZCO 18 months ago Henderson’s main role has been ensuring the company meets resource consent obligations.

He’s also involved in a project called Journey for Good.

“That’s more about going above and beyond the bare bones, it’s about being a good corporate citizen. We’re talking recycling, social responsibility and water saving initiatives.”

But at the heart of Henderson’s work at ANZCO are the same principles he followed in his previous job.

“I’m still doing my data collection. I’m a big proponent of evidence-based decision-making and I really don’t like working with gut feel decisions.

“I like having all the data in place so then we can use that accurate data to drive accurate decision-making,” he said.

Henderson now considers Ashburton home and he enjoys the Mid Canterbury environment.

“I ride down by the river quite regularly – I’ve got the bruises to prove it! – and I spend a lot of time out in the hills tramping and enjoying the environment so for me, it’s a bit selfish really, I’d like the environment to be good for me and future generations.”

With support from his bosses at ANZCO, Henderson started attending zone committee meet-

ings as a member of the public, before applying for a position on the committee himself when a vacancy came up. He said the new job comes with a massive learning curve.

“What are the different viewpoints? What’s the iwi perspective, what’s the manufacturing perspective, what are the rural and urban perspectives? Those groups don’t necessarily agree so how then do you thread the needle between all of those? Learning how that works is just fascinating.”

Henderson said his technical, “boots-on-the-ground” data collection skills should be valuable to the committee.

“I can boil it back to evidencebased decision-making. For me it goes, ‘There’s a lot of stakeholders here, how do we get the best data and information into their hands so then any opinion they form is based off the correct facts?’

“The gut feeling is going to be there because at some point you are making a decision based on your cultural perspective but that decision, I always believe, needs to come back to a strong, robust data set.”

■ QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY HONOURS

PM and prostitute activist top NZ honours A campaigner for prostitutes and a conservative prime minister.

They’re among the latest figures picked by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to receive New Zealand’s highest honours.

Named in the country’s twiceyear allotment of knighthoods yesterday is life-long advocate and founding member of the nation’s prostitutes’ collective, Catherine Healy, who has been made a dame companion for her services to the rights of sex workers.

“I really am quite emotional about it,” she said.

“People like us don’t normally get these sort of things.”

While working as a school teacher in the 1980s, Dame Catherine signed up for a receptionist job at a brothel to earn extra money for travel. She was the collective’s national co-ordinator by the end of the decade.

She built the group into an internationally-recognised organisation, becoming the country’s leading voice for sex worker rights, health and education and eventually organised the charge towards decriminalisation of prostitution

in 2003. “I’m very proud we got a good piece of legislation through and that sex workers can work in this country, knowing they have rights enshrined in legislation,” she said.

“We’d like to see that sex workers don’t feel discriminated against ... this acknowledgement sends that message: that they can be part of society.”

Meanwhile, Ms Ardern has also named her election rival and former prime minister Bill English a knight companion for his services to the state.

Sir John Key’s successor, Sir Bill resigned from parliament this year after nearly three decades in the house.

Although unlucky in both his election attempts as National Party leader, the conservative MP from New Zealand’s rural south is more v recognised as the steady hand behind the fiscal rudder of the country’s post-GFC recovery, and as a consummate parliamentarian. Among the other figures in Monday’s announcement is a knighthood for singer John Rowles, whose deep voice has

serenaded audiences across Australia since the 1960s.

Jools and Lynda Topp – better known as the yodelling musical comedy duo the Topp Twins, and whose television show aired in Australia in the late 1990s – have also been named dames companion.

In total,192 people have been named in the New Zealand Queen’s Birthday honours list. For the first time more than half are women. New Zealand dropped knighthoods in 2000 but restored them in 2009.

OUR VIEW

My flatmates need to pick up their game I

t’s no secret that us Kiwi folks love a chance to work our right-brains and get innovating.

Where others might see a broken resource or total lack of opportunity, we see a spiffing chance to crank out our toolboxes of number 8 wire, bungee cord and duct tape, and do that ol’ “ingenuity” thing.

However, it seems there are few climates as fertile for the growth of Kiwi innovation as the humble student flat.

From mildew-spangled, draughty or downright noxious origins, a significant number of young Kiwi flatties have banded together as young entrepreneurs and risen to national stardom.

One such group are the lads behind the internationally ac-

claimed, “monster” New Year’s festival Rhythm & Vines, captured on camera for the Road to Rhythm documentary released last week.

I‘ll admit when I first began watching the documentary, I was largely hoping one of my mates would have been caught out going down the nude waterslide.

But it also served as a reminder that the annual fun-fest wouldn’t exist without three scarfie lads

who signed a flat lease together in 2003, and began dreaming of a way to make their New Year’s epic.

They’ve been on one humdinger of a rollercoaster since – from swift popularity to over a million dollars in debt, watching their brand tarnished by reckless rioters and eventually finding a recipe for success.

It all made for pretty interesting storytelling, even without any glimpses of my mates humiliating themselves.

But from similar origins as the Rhythm lads, so many other remarkable success stories have been conceived, and that deserves acknowledgement.

In the 1990s, George FM was created in a spare room of a Grey Lynn flat in Auckland.

It now reaches about 137,000

Ten years ago: Defence Secretary Robert Gates ousted Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael Moseley and Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne, holding them to account in a historic Pentagon shake-up after embarrassing nuclear mix-ups.

Five years ago: The British newspaper The Guardian reported the National Security Agency was collecting the telephone records of millions of American customers of Verizon under a top secret court order.

weekly listeners across the country, as the country’s most popular dance and electronic music radio station.

Shortly after in Wellington, two Victoria University flatmates combined their music and comedy skills to become Flight of the Conchords.

The duo have earned success as TV stars in America and radio stars in the UK, along with a huge following in their homeland.

In 2008, five flatties began making music, and named their band after their address on Castle Street, Dunedin.

Six60 have since sprung to global glory and triple-platinum album success.

And over the past two years another two Dunedin flatmates have launched a global enterprise

selling Shakti acupuncture mats to thousands of celebrities, yogis and health-seekers around the globe.

Now these stories are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, with dozens of other Kiwis hitting life’s jackpot regardless of what university degree they first set out on or how modest their first office or studio may be.

But unfortunately, over in Allenton, Ashburton, you’ll find a very different story.

There you’ll find my flat of four university qualified, professional adults – only successful, it seems, when it comes to slaughtering New World Little Garden Seedling Kits and spending more time in animal onesies than actual clothes. Come on guys, it’s time to up our game.

On this date: In 1527, a month after Rome was conquered by troops of the Holy Roman Empire, Pope Clement VII surrendered.

In 1794, Congress passed the Neutrality Act, which prohibited Americans from taking part in any military action against a country that was at peace with the United States.

In 1917, about 10 million American men between the ages of 21 and 31 began registering for the draft in World War One. In 1950, the US Supreme Court, in Henderson v United States, struck down racially segregated railroad dining cars.

In 1967, war erupted in the Middle East as Israel, anticipating a possible attack by its Arab neighbours, launched a series of pre-emptive airfield strikes that destroyed nearly the entire Egyptian air force; Syria, Jordan and Iraq immediately entered the conflict.

In 1976, 14 people were killed when the Teton Dam in Idaho burst.

In 1986, a federal jury in Baltimore convicted Ronald W. Pelton of selling secrets to the Soviet Union. (Pelton was sentenced to three life prison terms plus ten years.)

In 1993, country star Conway Twitty died in Springfield, Missouri, at age 59.

Compliance fatigue and the stifling of innovation I

n the world of the arable farmer, it’s another year passing and another harvest behind us.

For South Canterbury arable farmers it was the worst harvest on record, made all the more difficult to deal with knowing that it in turn followed what I consider to be the best harvest on record, if revenue is the benchmark.

How could our fortunes change so dramatically, so quickly? The weather! Just right, then too wet, too cold, too wet, too cold again, then too wet, too windy, too hot, perfect, too wet, too humid and now … pretty much spot on to restore our faith in our farming systems based around good science, good health and good management practice.

It has certainly been a year that has forced us to look closely at our management systems and review our ever-changing balance of land, labour and capital.

Autumn 2018 seems to have brought with it a feeling that the weather has once again settled into a more stable pattern, allowing us to go about the business of autumn planting with a decent amount of optimism for the coming season.

The 2017/18 year also ushered in a change of Government, for better or worse (certainly for change!) and an entirely different political view on agriculture.

It seems that the days are rap-

Mike Porter

FROM THE FARM

idly disappearing of us being in charge of our own destiny, of us trying new ideas and methods of production based around what is right for our own farm, our own family and all that we value.

The days of learning from our mistakes and of us being world leaders in innovative agriculture due to our Kiwi ingenuity, our strong work ethic and our relative isolation to our markets and other big agricultural nations have all but disappeared.

It seems that individuality and thinking outside the square are often discouraged, with such behaviour being deemed non-compliant, unsuitable and unsafe.

The digital age and the Labour-led coalition are fasttracking foundations laid by the Helen Clark administration – and contributed to by the Key Government – that is ushering in a new age of compliance, consent, conformity and along with it a staggering increase in the level of administrative and compliance requirements.

Simply put, we require permission for many or most everyday tasks we undertake on our farms from people who, in many cases, know less than we do about our business and whose go-to reference points include generic templates and non-specific data.

It seems at times we simply cannot be trusted to undertake even basic tasks requiring the skills we, in most cases, possess by way of training and practice.

The controlled burning of crop residues is a case in point.

The offer of a consultation process has proven to be little more than lip service as The Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act (2017) is worded in such a way that in order to comply with the act a fire permit and smoke management plan is now required.

So although the battle to ditch the permit system appears to have been lost before it began, we are making good progress with online simplification of the permit system.

Globally, we have in a way become a victim of our own success.

Nobel Peace Prize recipient Norman Borlaug, the American agronomist accredited for his work on wheat agronomy improvements known as the Green Revolution, was credited with saving more than 250 million people from starvation, more than three times that credited to

the discovery of penicillin.

Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch discovered the Haber Bosch process to turn molecular nitrogen and methane into fertiliser urea; 250 billion lives saved, more than 15 times that credited to the chlorination of water.

And John Franz, the organic chemist credited with the discovery of glyphosate, was credited with saving 100 million tonnes of soil from erosion per year in New Zealand alone.

These people are all blamed to varying degrees for western society’s “deadly addiction to hollow calories and synthetic pesticides”.

All easy to under-rate and even easier to criticise when one has a full stomach.

Our challenge for the future is to restore public faith in modern agriculture based on sound science and sustainable, repeatable production of quality food to satisfy the discerning public.

■ GUATEMALA

Erupting volcano kills 7 One of Central America’s most active volcanos erupted in fiery explosions of ash and molten rock yesterday, killing at least seven people and injuring 20 while a towering cloud of smoke blanketed nearby villages in heavy ash. An undetermined number were missing, and authorities feared the toll could rise.

Guatemala’s Volcan de Fuego, Spanish for “volcano of fire,” exploded shortly before noon, and later in the afternoon lava began flowing down the side of the mountain. Eddy Sanchez, director of the country’s seismology and volcanology institute, said the flows reached temperatures of about 700°C. Video images published by Sacatepezuez television showed a charred landscape where a lava flow came into contact with homes.

Three bodies lay partially buried in ashcoloured debris from the volcano, about 44km from Guatemala City.

Other videos from local media showed residents walking barefoot and covered in muddy residue.

“Not everyone was able to get out. I think they ended up buried,” Consuelo Hernandez, a resident of the village of El Rodeo, told the newspaper Diario de Centroamerica.

“Where we saw the lava fall, we ran to a hillside” to escape, she added.

Hundreds of rescue workers, including firefighters, police and soldiers worked to recover bodies from the still-smoking lava.

National Disaster Co-ordinator Sergio Cabanas said seven people were confirmed dead and an unknown number were unaccounted for.

Among the fatalities were four people, including a disaster agency official, killed

Two children were burned to death as they watched the volcano’s second eruption this year from a bridge, he added.

Another victim was found in the streets of El Rodeo by volunteer firefighters, but the person died in an ambulance.

Guatemala’s disaster agency said 3100 people had evacuated nearby communities, and the eruption was affecting an area with a population of about 1.7 million people. Shelters were opened for those forced to flee.

Ash was falling on the Guatemala City area as well as the departments of Sacatepequez, Chimaltenango and Escuintla, which are in south-central Guatemala around the volcano.

Streets and houses were covered in the colonial town of Antigua, a popular tourist destination.

Aviation authorities closed the capital’s international airport because of the danger posed to planes by the ash.

The conical Volcan de Fuego reaches an altitude of 3763m above sea level at its peak.

Russian space capsule lands At least 46 A Russian Soyuz space capsule carrying three astronauts from the International Space Station has landed safely in the steppes of Kazakhstan.

The capsule hit the ground yesterday without apparent problems, descending under a red-and-white parachute.

Aboard were Russian Anton Shkaplerov, American Scott Tingle and Japan’s Norishige Kanai, ending a 168-day mission.

All three were extracted from the capsule within 30 minutes. They appeared to be in good condition as they sat in lounge-type

chairs near the capsule so they could re-adjust to the pull of gravity.

The astronauts will later be taken to Karaganda, about 400 kilometres to the northeast.

There they will undergo a longer medical exam and then be flown either to Moscow or Houston.

The orbiting laboratory now has a crew of three: Americans Drew Feustel and Ricky Arnold and Russian Oleg Artemyev.

Another three astronauts are to be launched to the space station this week from the Baikonur complex in Kazakhstan.

migrants drown

A boat carrying migrants toward Europe sank off the coast of Tunisia and at least 46 people drowned, though dozens more could be missing, the North African nation’s defence ministry said yesterday.

The ministry said 68 people were rescued overnight after the boat sank in the Mediterranean Sea near Kerkennah island, off Tunisia’s eastern coast. Authorities said the vessel was believed to have been carrying about 180 passengers.

Rachid Bouhoula, the defence ministry press officer, said a rescue and recovery operation continued in the waters around the island.

The ministry said earlier that those rescued included 61 Tunisians and seven people from other countries.

In recent months, Tunisia increasingly has become a point of departure for Europe-bound migrants fleeing poverty and conflicts in Africa and the Middle East.

Work on Synlait’s new liquid dairy packaging facility, at its Dunsandel base, is on track.

PHOTO SUPPLIED

Good progress on new Synlait facility Synlait Milk is pleased with the progress made on the building of its advanced liquid dairy packaging facility by Tetra Pak. The two companies have worked together for over 10 years, beginning with the building of Synlait’s anhydrous milkfat (AMF) plant in 2007.

The new facility, being built at the company’s Dunsandel base, will produce fresh milk and cream for Foodstuffs South Island’s private label brands from early 2019, and will be a platform for Synlait to pursue a range of dairy-based products for export markets.

Tetra Pak is a subsidiary of the

Tetra Laval Group, which is a multinational food packaging and liquid food processing company focusing on milk. It is considered a world leader in sterile packaging plants that can offer a range of packaging formats.

“Synlait and Tetra Pak are working closely to ensure the new facility includes as many new technology advances as possible, and that we make the most of any new product offerings,” said Neil Betteridge, director of operations at Synlait.

“The $125 million facility will be highly automated and include milk track and trace systems, and

the latest PET inline sterile bottle blowing technology. We will also have cool store automated packing and order-picking gantries,” Betteridge said.

“All of these capabilities combine to create a smart, modern and efficient facility that can produce both domestic products for the South Island market and export products to the highest food safety standards,” he said.

The facility will be one of the most sophisticated fresh milk and cream processing facilities in New Zealand, he said, and will produce up to 24,000 bottles per hour.

Construction of the facility be-

gan in February and preliminary work such as foundations and site services were completed in May. The focus has now shifted to completing exterior walls and making the facility watertight, in order to begin the internal construction of processing equipment and facilities.

Synlait’s advanced liquid dairy packaging facility is expected to be commissioned in early 2019.

“We are excited about this new chapter in our history and we will be looking to hire talented operations staff to operate the new facility in late 2018,” Betteridge said.

It’s been a positive start to 2018 for the global beef sector – with production and consumption up and prices generally favourable – however, building pressures in some of the world’s major beef-producing nations have the potential to change export market dynamics, with implications for New Zealand, according to a recently-released industry report.

In its Beef Quarterly Q2 2018 – Production continuing to Grow, but Supply Pressure Starting to Mount, agribusiness banking specialist Rabobank says supply pressure is growing in global beef markets due to dry weather conditions in the US, a surplus of animal protein in Brazil and changes in live cattle trade out of Australia.

Report co-author, Rabobank New Zealand animal proteins analyst Blake Holgate, said the degree to which these supply pressures continue to build will determine the extent of their impact on global markets.

“Each of these factors has the potential to cause major disruption to global beef trade flows and to drive global beef pricing lower. In coming months beef producers here in New Zealand and internationally will be hoping for developments that relieve these pressures and ensure beef markets remain balanced mov-

ing into the second half of 2018,” he said.

The report said dry weather conditions have been a major disruption in the US cattle market since last northern hemisphere autumn, with 70 per cent of US beef cows now under measureable drought stress.

Holgate said US cow slaughter numbers were already higher than in previous years, and the likelihood of some degree of forced liquidation during the coming season was very high.

“The next few months will be crucial with continued dry weather likely to see a liquidation around August.

“This will create a scenario where there are too many beef cattle in the US system and will lead to increased volumes of US beef in their domestic market as well as greater volumes being pushed onto the international market,” he said.

Of the supply pressures outlined in the report, the big dry in the US was most likely to impact on New Zealand given the significance of the US as an export destination for NZ beef, Holgate said.

“Since April we’ve already seen weaker US beef import prices contribute to domestic cattle prices falling by 2 per cent in the North Island and 3 per cent in the South,” he said.

“We do expect the depreciation of the NZ dollar against the US dollar to limit further softening of schedule prices over the coming months, however should the US imported beef price drop further, it is likely NZ beef prices would follow.”

While last week’s announcement by the New Zealand government to cull a further 126,000 cattle over the next one to two years will increase New Zealand’s domestic beef supply, putting some downward pressure on prices, the long-term influence on the beef schedule is not expected to be significant.

“Given the number of cattle to be culled represents approximately only 5 per cent of New Zealand’s annual beef slaughter, and the cull is occurring over a prolonged period of time, the negative impact on beef prices should be limited when compared to external factors like export market demand,” Holgate said.

“However, if the bulk of the cattle culling happened to coincide with either a seasonal influx from the beef industry, or adverse weather conditions, we would then expect to see the cull have a more substantial bearing on prices.” He said despite New Zealand beef export volumes rising significantly in the last quarter of 2017, they rose by only 1 per cent in the first quarter of this year.

out to help biodiversity projects ried out two large successful planting and protection projects, with the zone committee’s help, and are committed to another project in a smaller block near Staveley township.

Biodiversity officer Sarah Heddell said the project would complement other work along the Staveley stream corridor, including work by Nathan and Greta Currie near

Ashburton Staveley Road.

The Curries want to plant natives along the stream and a pond to create a riparian margin strip. They were granted $3600.

Both waterways are fenced from stock.

Heddell said both farmers were involved in their local communities and enthusiastic supporters of the Immediate Steps programme for biodiversity projects.

Rural connectivity frustration highlighted Plenty of rural folk have jumped at the chance to respond to a Federated Farmers’ survey on the quality of telecommunications connectivity out in the provinces.

There were close to 500 responses within 24 hours of the launch of the survey.

“It’s hardly surprising because we know from member feedback that broadband and mobile blackspots cause considerable frustration,” Federated Farmers vicepresident Andrew Hoggard said.

“Technology is a huge and increasing facet of modern farming. If the apps and programmes on farmers’ digital devices drop out or run at crawl-speeds, they simply can’t run their businesses efficiently.”

With the impending roll out of the Rural Broadband Initiative phase two and Mobile Black Spot Fund, the Federated Farmers’ survey aims to gain an up-todate understanding of coverage and connectivity standards in rural areas around the nation.

“The intention is to run this survey every year,” Hoggard said.

“The beauty of the system we are using is that we will be able to also map survey responses year on year, meaning we can show over time where the situation is improving or where it is getting worse.”

The survey closed last night. Responses received by late last week showed: ■ 36 per cent of respondents said their farm phone coverage is less than 25 per cent ■ 14.6 per cent rated their landline coverage as poor ■ 52 per cent have a data cap of less than 100gb per month ■ Only 2.3 per cent don’t have internet with 24.6 per cent still on copper line broadband and 46.6 per cent using wireless broadband ■ 7.9 per cent exceed their data cap often The survey showed that farmers are big users of digital technology, with 96 per cent of respondents having mobile phones (84 per cent of them smartphones). Just under 60 per cent said they used apps to aid in their farm business and these were across the agriculture sectors.

Rabobank New Zealand animal proteins analyst Blake Holgate says the Government’s decision to cull a further 126,000 over the next one to two years is unlikely to have a significant effect on the beef schedule.

MARKET REPORT One of the unfortunate outcomes of the whole mycoplasma bovis situation is that the government decision to support MPI, DairyNZ, Federated Farmers and Beef and Lamb NZ in their collective desire to eradicate MPB has fuelled the urban rural divide more than anything seen for some time, if judging by the responses read and heard on blogs and talkback is an indicator.

The unfortunate timing of the funding package, not that any timing is likely to be good, is that it has coincided with the methamphetamine (P) measuring fiasco which has put many people out on the street, the revelation that many hospitals have substandard buildings and plenty of other historical grievances that people are happy to roll out as examples that have not received adequate funding or compensation.

Adding to the confused picture is that within farming circles people are not unanimous in their support of the decision. At the moment the proven source of mycoplasma bovis in New Zealand, if known, is not public knowledge.

If it does turn out to be from slack practices from members within the agriculture community even more fuel will be added to the fire.

The government contribution works out at approximately $250 per taxpayer, not inconsiderable.

However, this figure pales in comparison to what farmers will be paying as industry members.

How the contribution share is to be calculated doesn’t appear to be announced as yet but given there are 1200 dairy farmers and about 25,000 sheep and beef farmers then their share is in the vicinity of $7600 each.

Despite this, unless the message is well managed by industry leaders only the $240 cost will be heard.

Early indications are that about 80 per cent of the cost will be borne by the dairy industry and 20 per cent from sheep and

beef farmers.

It will come in the form of a levy spread over several years.

Dairy Both Westland and Synlait dairy companies have come out with their milk price indications for next season.

Both are sticking fairly close to Fonterra’s earlier price release also.

Westland are forecasting a price range of $6.75 to $7.20.

While Synlait are also staying with a $7 indicator and they have also announced a final price range for the season just completing of around $6.50 to $6.65.

Beef Prices have held this week on the schedules and the processors appear to have resisted the urge to make windfall gains from the back log of cows booked in as a result of the mycoplasma bovis. Given the strengthening dollar against the $US, prices holding is a good result.

Sheep A 10 cent lift per kg from some processors for lamb, and a mid-winter contract announced is pegged to $7.80 per kg.

This is well above what companies are advertising on their public schedules although more in line with what prime lambs are fetching at the saleyards.

Top saleyard prices are holding at just under $200 for lamb but the lighter lambs are lifting with the demand.

Wool At last week’s Napier wool sale, prices held or had a slight lift. An increasing amount of well-priced ewe second shear wool was a feature of the sale, although second shear lambs wool appears a little disappointing.

Caring for treasures

By Kathleen Stringer

Left – Garments, letters and photographs are treasures worth keeping well.

T

hey say a picture can paint a thousand words and, from my experience working with photographs, I know this is true.

Visual images can provide so much information that the written word just can’t. Images can rekindle memories, and form a link with people or times gone by.

Ashburton Museum houses all kinds of treasures, but photographs form one of the largest parts of our museum’s massive social history collection.

While we call them simply ‘photographs’ they come in a variety of shapes, sizes and formats.

Dealing with them can be a challenge, because each type comes with its own particular requirements as to storage.

As part of our Rust, Bugs and Dust Bunnies exhibition, the museum are running two workshops during June, on caring for treasures at home.

The first workshop, called Remembering Your Soldier will introduce easy ways to research family members who served. It will also cover how to care for and record wartime letters, books, postcards, diaries, and of course photographs.

A second workshop Fabrics of History will focus on caring for treasured textiles and clothing.

When covering photographs, we will be explaining firstly how to identify what type of image people have in their collections and second, how best to look after them.

While some issues concerning images are generic – how they can be damaged by changes in the temperature and humidity (‘the environment’ in museum lingo), we also have to understand how the image is made, to fully appreciate how delicate these images really are.

The earliest images we have in the collection are images on tin, called tin types, and on silver, called Daguerreotypes. These images are very delicate and can easily be scratched or broken.

More common, but just as fragile, are glass negatives. Obviously being glass they are easily broken, but they are even more at risk because the image sits on the glass and can be easily scratched.

Even dust on the emulsion can spoil the image.

Jelly images and backings One way the emulsion was made to adhere to the glass was to mix it with gelatine. If one thinks of these wonderful images as big jellies, you can easily imagine the problems caused by dampness, causing mould, and how attractive they are to pests, such as silverfish.

Glass negatives aren’t the only photographic images that have food associated with their manufacture.

For example, albumen prints were popular throughout the later part of the 1800s. Clever readers will be able to guess perhaps, that the photographic paper was covered with egg white. This accounts for the problem many

Below – This fine image of two Billy Thomas homes is marred by cracking. This occurs due to heat or intense light which causes the cellulose to bend. As the image is made up of different layers, the whole image falls apart.

Below left – This dramatic image has been taken from a slide. Slides have a number of issues associated with them.

They may fade or discolour, and are easily scratched or broken. However, the main issue is that without a slide projector they are hard to view.

Many of the slides in our collection have been scanned.

Right – We don’t know who these two young men are, but we do know the image is printed on to tin.

Far right – Mrs William Turton with her sons John and Edwin are depicted in a true Daguerreotype. Some so-called Daguerreotypes are actually glass plates (called ambrotypes), however, this image clearly shows the tarnishing so common with all silver items. Both types of images are often found housed in leather or wooden cases and for their protection should not be removed. people see that their precious image bubbles then cracks away from the card mount.

While the actual ingredients of the image itself causes problems, so too does the ‘media’ – the backing of the photo. Early images were mounted on acidic card which can leech all sorts of nasties into the image.

Card also absorbs moisture, so damp conditions can see the card bending, which cracks the image.

Paper backing, such as the images we have from the 1930s to 50s, can easily tear, or like the card, distort due to heat or dampness.

More recent images are not immune to problems. Modern images with plastic backings are like a sandwich, made up of different layers. Placed in too hot an environment, the sandwich filling falls part.

Essentially the filling (the image) slips away from the bread (the plastic backing). This issue can be found in positives but is more dramatic with negatives

when the image is disfigured by cracking.

Workshops It all sounds very depressing and worrying, you could be forgiven for thinking that it’s too complicated a business looking after your images and other treasures, but we are here to help.

With a few hints and appropriate storage you can easily and

safely preserve this history for the future.

If you’d like to join one of our hands-on workshops, Remembering Your Soldier is on June 18 and Fabrics of History is on June 15. Both run 9.30am to 12 noon.

To book, phone Ashburton Museum on 307-7890, as numbers are limited for both workshops.

Please bring a pen and paper to take notes. Morning tea provided.

In brief

RESULTS

Warner’s comeback David Warner’s return to cricket has been locked in after being drafted to play for Winnipeg Hawks in the inaugural Global T20 tournament in Canada.

Warner was handed a 12-month international and first-class ban

by Cricket Australia for his role in the Cape Town cheating scandal, with the governing body painting the former test vice-captain as the architect of a plan to illegally tamper with the ball. The tournament, which is set run from June 28 to July 15 in Toronto, will also mark Steve Smith’s return to the game after the deposed Australian Test skipper was drafted for Toronto Nationals.

Golden State Warriors go two up Stephen Curry hit an NBA Finals-record nine 3-pointers and scored 33 points, mixing in big shots with clever celebratory moves while leading the Golden State Warriors to a 122103 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers yesterday for a 2-0 lead. Kevin Durant found his steady stroke to score 26 points to go with nine rebounds and seven assists while also handling a load of the defensive assignment against LeBron James. Klay Thompson added 20 points playing on a tender left leg to put the defending champions two victories from a repeat title they have talked about since the season began. James followed up his 51-point performance in Game 1 with 29 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds in a far tamer finals sequel — and much more lopsided — minus the utter craziness of a dramapacked opener three days prior. Game 3 is on Thursday in Cleveland.

Wallabies beat Japan The Junior Wallabies face New Zealand in a must-win game in the under-20s world rugby championships in France after a 54-19 victory over Japan.

Australia’s second game win moves them into number two position in pool A with six points, behind New Zealand on 10 points.

Wales is in third place in the pool followed by Japan. A win on Friday against the Kiwis would see Australia vie for a top four finish and the semi-finals. Semisi Tupou and Mack Hansen scored tries early for the Australians, taking the side to a 14-0 lead before Japan countered with two tries to reduce the margin to 14-12. Australia had a healthy lead of 28-12 at half-time thanks to the efforts of forwards Michael Wood and Efi Maa’afu before a try from Matt McTaggart and a double from Ryan Lonergan brought up the half century. Japan scored a late try to take the final score to 54-19.

In brief Called out Barely able to stand on two feet due to a calf injury, Wests Tigers winger David Nofoaluma had insult added to injury when leaving the pitch on Sunday night. The 24-year-old was injured in a tackle during the first half of his side’s 16-14 defeat at the hands of the Sydney Roosters and was unable to continue his role in the match.

The scenario is generally met by applause fans for the injured players, however a Roosters fan took the opportunity to give Nofoaluma a piece of his mind.

The Tigers winger called out the fan on Twitter, saying: “Disgraced when coming off to hear a Roosters fan in the crowd say “Nofoaluma you c***. You’re a f***ing piece of s***”. Hope you’re satisfied!!”

Comeback earns seventh

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

A stunning final quarter comeback against Marlborough Under-15 A saw Mid Canterbury Under-15 A claim seventh placing at the Mainland Netball Under-15 Championship in Ashburton yesterday.

Having missed out on the top six of the tournament at the EA Networks Centre narrowly thanks to a one-goal loss to a side from the Christchurch Netball Centre on the tournament’s opening day on Saturday, the young Emma Silva coached Mid Canterbury U15 A side were determined to pick themselves up

and do the best they possibly could.

The best they could possibly do was finish seventh, and thanks to the 28-26 win over Marlborough U15 A in their final match of the tournament yesterday, they did just that.

Mid Canterbury had beaten the same team by nine goals on Sunday, but they didn’t have it easy in their rematch on Monday, with the two sides going to the first quarter break tied at 8-all.

From there Marlborough had the edge, pouncing on any loose ball and turning it into points to go to half time ahead 15-12 and

then increase that lead slightly by three quarter time, to lead 2218.

Mid Canterbury were determined though, and they began to claw their way back into the game. They made up the fourgoal deficit and with just two minutes to go they took the lead 27-26 before snapping up a turnover to take it out to 28-26, which was to be the way it stayed.

Mid Canterbury U15 A coach Silva said she was proud of the heart her side showed to come back to win the match at the end of a huge weekend of netball.

“We just tired I think, but then we kept going and fighting until

the end in that last quarter,” Silva said.

Dynamic mid-courter Poppy Kilworth was named the tournament’s MVP for the Mid Canterbury side after a strong showing all weekend.

Mid Canterbury B were also in action in the tournament’s division two section, and they finished the long weekend in fourth.

The top grade’s final was taken out by Christchurch Netball Centre (CNC) U15 Red against Nelson U15 A 44-21, while the division two final was won by CNC U15 White against South Canterbury U15 A 29-24.

Dixon banks another solid finish in Detroit New Zealander Scott Dixon continued his good form by finishing fourth in the second race of the Detroit Dual yesterday to remain second in the standings.

After a slow start to the season Dixon has roared back into contention over the past week with a good haul of points at Indianapolis a week ago, a win on Sunday on the Belle Isle street circuit and now another big point-scoring finish.

Ryan Hunter-Reay won the race on the back of making a three-stop strategy work better.

He was challenging teammate

Alexander Rossi for the lead of the race with less than 10 laps to go when Rossi locked his tyres badly and ran off the circuit.

It handed Hunter-Reay the victory and proved extremely costly for former Indy 500 winner Rossi, who lost the lead of the championship as a result.

“After I took that second set of blacks I started getting in-sync with the car and the balance started coming to me,” HunterReay said.

“I was really worried at the beginning because it was really loose.

“But once I got into a rhythm the car was doing everything I needed it to do.

“It was such a great car.”

This year’s Indianapolis 500 winner Will Power finished second while Dixon’s Chip Ganassi teammate Ed Jones completed the podium.

Power took over the lead of the championship while Dixon as just a handful of points back in second.

Dixon’s fourth place finish capped a top weekend for the four-time championship winner.

He won his 42nd career race on

Sunday to move into a share of third all-time alongside Michael Andretti. He still trails legendary AJ Foyt and Mario Andretti by a long way.

The race was delayed by over half an hour after the safety car crashed during the warm-up lap in an embarrassing moment for the series. Cars were forced back into the pits while they cleaned up the mess and removed the damaged car.

The series moves back to an oval track next week at Texas Motor Speedway.

England’s response to adversity at Headingley earned a much-needed series-levelling win over Pakistan – but captain Joe Root warns it will not “paper over the cracks” on its own. The Yorkshireman had reason for cheer at last with victory by an innings and 55 runs well inside three days of the second cricket test after the tourists were bowled out for 134. As well as drawing the series 1-1, England ended an alarming sequence of six defeats in eight tests – which had put coach Trevor Bayliss under pressure.

While the Australian spoke in a broadcast interview of perhaps reminding England preemptively in future of “what it’s like to be embarrassed” when they lose Root was wary of getting carried away with one overdue success. - PAA

Barton’s back Joey Barton will return from his 13-month ban from betting on football matches as manager of Sky Bet League One club Fleetwood.

No guarantees Brad Fittler admits he can’t ensure his record 11 NSW State of Origin rookies don’t crack under pressure at the MCG against Queensland on Wednesday night. The Blues have just one training session left before the series opener, where they will run out as the least experienced side in more than three decades in the Origin arena. “I can’t ensure that (they don’t crack) at all. But so far, so good. It’s been a good camp,” Fittler said.

Penalties ‘up to players’ Brad Fittler and Kevin Walters have told their players the onus is on them to avoid a penaltyriddled State of Origin series opener at the MCG on Wednesday night. As promised by NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg in April, both coaches have been told the crackdown from the start of the season will carry into the Origin arena. That will include a heavy focus on play-the-balls, the ruck and offsides, as well as regular use of the sin-bin if penalties persist.

Do the right thing Tana resign

PHOTO FELICITY PLUCK

■ RUGBY

Mid Canty go down 34-7 Mid Canterbury Combined are yet to win a game in secondary school rugby’s UC Championship after going down 34-7 to Lincoln Combined, at Lincoln, on Saturday.

The side, which is a combina-

tion of players from Ashburton and Mount Hutt colleges, went into the game off a 10-day break, which followed two big losses against Canterbury secondary school rugby powerhouses Christ’s College and Christch-

urch Boys’ High School.

Next up they play Roncalli Aoraki Combined in Timaru, and it’s one they’ll be targeting as their first win.

The Roncalli side is the only other side in the combination,

along with Mid Canterbury Combined, yet to notch up a win in the 2018 competition.

Mid Canterbury are ahead on the points table though, courtesy of two bonus points they’ve picked up.

All Blacks win good news on injuries The news on the injury front has turned out to be about as good as the All Blacks could have hoped for with captain Sam Whitelock, Sam Cane and Ryan Crotty all available for the first test this Saturday.

The only disappointment is that Brodie Retallick has been ruled out with a pectoral injury, the full extent of which won’t be known until today when he can have a scan to properly assess the damage.

And with Liam Squire avoiding suspension in relation to a high tackle committed against the Hurricanes on Friday night, the All Blacks aren’t facing quite the same dramas as they had feared over the weekend.

The return of Whitelock offsets the loss of Retallick and the return of Crotty offsets the loss of Sonny Bill Williams.

If Cane can come through training unscathed – and the medics are hopeful he will - then his availability will be a major bonus and the All Blacks will feel like they have enough experience in all their positional units.

Not that head coach Steve Hansen was in particularly effer-

vescent mood about it all.

Two separate off-field incidents involving Jordie Barrett and Rieko Ioane will have caused some internal difficulties – not that he wanted to talk about that.

Barrett’s faux pas in Dunedin of mistakenly finding himself in the wrong flat in the early hours of Saturday morning, wouldn’t necessarily have concerned Hansen.

But the fact the 21-year-old was still out at that time and munching on burgers, will have worried the All Blacks management group as it’s clearly not the expectation of how a high performance athlete should be behaving 24 hours before heading into All Blacks camp for a threetest series against the French.

Ioane was involved in an altercation with a Blues teammate late on Saturday night that required the star wing to have a cut above his eye stitched.

The official explanation was high jinks getting out of hand and again the concern for Hansen will be around mindset and how his youngsters are preparing.

The veteran coach, however, made it clear that the issues had been dealt with in-house and that he wasn’t going to discuss them publicly.

“I’m not really interested in talking about Jordie or Rieko.

Enough has been said about that stuff,” said Hansen.

“We have conversations with people with whom we needed to have conservations.”

Hansen is understandably eager to keep distractions to a minimum this week, knowing that the All Blacks have struggled in previous years to get themselves ready for the first test of the year.

It’s particularly hard when there are intense Super Rugby games the weekend before as it is challenging for the players to be involved – as the Highlanders and Hurricanes were – in heated local derbies and then come together as one team the next day.

Then there is the added difficulty of getting the players into test football mode. Super Rugby is fast and furious and the skills which come to the fore are not always those which matter in test rugby.

The step up to test football is

significant and the coaches have to labour the point that the penalties for being 1 per cent off on Saturday are extreme in comparison with Super Rugby.

Which is why Hansen will have been alarmed at some of the loose behaviour over the weekend and why he was also at pains to talk about the importance of the two training camps that were held in the last two weeks of May. “We would have been setting ourselves an impossible task if we hadn’t had those camps,” said Hansen.

“A lot of people may not understand that you have the five groups of different players coming into one environment.

“They have had three months to get ready for their first game and we have got seven days, so to not have had those camps and be able to get some information into the players we would have got to this point and had information overload.

“We have got to try to get to Thursday and not worry too much about what we don’t know but get excited about what we do know.”

Put Friday June 29 in your diary, a not-to-be-missed chance to see history made in the current rugby season.

The Queensland Reds are coming to town, and this could be that extraordinary moment when the Blues score a home victory in 2018.

No promises people, but the Reds are pretty awful.

The Chiefs, Sharks, Highlanders, Jaguares, Hurricanes, Crusaders and Rebels have all trundled out of Auckland with a win this season, another journey into hell for the Blues.

Except it can’t be all that bad, because Tana Umaga has been retained for a fourth and presumably farewell season as coach. It’s like putting on a street parade for a loser.

Do the Blues not care anymore?

Have they given up?

People keep trying to tell me it’s not Tana’s fault. It’s the Auckland culture, the players .... blah, blah, blah. Not buying that.

The Blues signed off on the 2017 season by getting smashed by the Sunwolves in Tokyo. People hoped it was a weird blip. It wasn’t. It was the truth.

Just over 10 months later, they are as bad as ever, and have just been dealt to by the Melbourne Rebels at Eden Park.

There was a team with an excuse on Saturday evening – the Melbourne Rebels.

Rugby hardly exists in Melbourne, and decent rugby hardly exists in Australia anymore.

The Blues’ appalling run gets even worse when you consider they are, quite logically, barely affected by All Black camps and the guarding of test players.

Yet while the Blues go from bad to worse, the Crusaders charge on thanks to players like Heiden Bedwell-Curtis, who is like a back-up to the back-ups.

Umaga has done the impossible, by taking the Blues backwards. (His Blues beat the Rebels by 38 points in Melbourne last year).

It couldn’t get much worse although it might do next year with Umaga staying. Staggering.

The plaintive cry now is that Umaga is hamstrung because no decent young footballer will take the risk of signing for the Blues.

They certainly won’t sign while Umaga is still there, that’s for sure, whereas a new coach might stand some hope.

Retaining Umaga – by re-appointing him before this disastrous season had even ended – is among the most unprofessional, reckless and stupid decisions I have seen in sport anywhere.

It turns a bad joke into a laughing stock.

Enough is enough. Even a temporary coaching solution, if the chase is on for a big name signature for 2020, is better than this.

Only Umaga can get Umaga and the Blues out of this jam. Do the right thing, Tana Umaga. Resign.

(Note: I don’t expect he will resign.)

With five back nine birdies in a row at the Gardagolf Country Club, this launched the Kiwi into a great position and his rounds of 69, 68, 67 and 64 showed consistency on his way to recording his secondbest result of the season.

Playing in Cromwell – the same host town as when Mid Canterbury last won the annual tournament – Mid Canterbury was made to well and truly work for the title. Just who would take the trophy home came down to who beat who on the final day after a weekend of hard-fought matches and close results, with Mid Canterbury’s four wins from five games eventually proving to be enough.

needed to win. “We could have even drawn, but you don’t want to go into a game thinking like that,” Mid Canterbury captain Sam Moore said.

Moore said the tournament had just about been anyone’s for the taking, heading into the final day.

“All of the games only had one or two goals in them and there were only a couple of games that went to three or more, and everybody was beating everybody, so you had four or five teams lining up on the last day trying to win it,” Moore said.

Mid Canterbury’s 3-1 win over North Otago sealed it though, with their nearest rivals being the host team, Central Otago, the only team to beat Mid Canterbury over the weekend.

Mid Canterbury had begun their campaign in the best possible way, beating defending champions Eastern Southland 2-1 on Saturday. Up 1-0 at half time, Mid Canterbury scored early in the second half to go up 2-0 before having to spend much of the rest of the match on defence.

A goal to Eastern Southland just three minutes from the end set up a tense finish, but Mid Canterbury held on for the win.

They then faced Invercargill and won 1-0 with the winning goal coming in the final 10 minutes.

On day two Mid Canterbury started their day against Central Otago and suffered their first loss of the tournament, going down 2-0, which meant they had to beat South Canterbury in their

second game on Sunday to remain in the hunt.

A goal within the first minute of that game ensured Mid Canterbury’s spirits were high and going two up in the second half meant South Canterbury were well and truly chasing. They clawed one goal back and fought hard to find the equaliser, but it didn’t come.

That left just North Otago to beat, which they did 3-1, after the two sides went to half-time locked at 0-all. North Otago struck first in the second half, but Mid Canterbury struck back within 30 seconds, before slotting two further goals to seal it.

Moore, James Wright and Stephen Blain all made the tournament team, while goalkeeper Jacob Gray had a stellar weekend in goal.

■ CYCLING

Bevin fifth in prologue at Criterium du Dauphine Kiwi cyclist Patrick Bevin has an outside chance to pull on the leader’s jersey at a major World Tour race for the second time this season.

Bevin has finished in fifth in the opening prologue at the Criterium du Dauphine, just five seconds behind stage winner Michal Kwiatkowski.

Bevin’s result came due to a strong finish on the 6.6 kilometre course. Through the intermediate checkpoint at 3.47 kilometres, Bevin had the 16th best time, but stormed home in the second half of the course to add another top five finish to his CV. As a result of his excellent ride, Bevin could be in the mix to hold the leader’s yellow jersey.

The next two stages are undulating, but don’t possess any major

Patrick Bevin climbs, so the Kiwi rider should be able to stay in the peloton.

His path to pulling on the yellow jersey is blocked though by the daunting figure of Kwiatkowski, who, unless disaster strikes, will easily keep the race lead in the opening stages. However, Bevin could pounce on

stage three, where his BMC team will be one of the favourites in the 35 kilometre team time trial.

It was through the team time trial that Bevin got to wear the leader’s jersey at the Tirreno Adriatico, and while BMC’s time trialling unit isn’t as strong this time around, they are always one of the strongest squads in the format.

Unfortunately for Bevin, Kwiatkowski’s Team Sky are just as handy, with the third-placed Gianni Moscon, Geraint Thomas, Dylan Van Baarle, Jonathan Castroviejo and Kwiatkowski all excellent time trialists, who may combine to keep Bevin just short of top spot.

Even if briefly holding the leader’s jersey isn’t in Bevin’s overall plans, the result contin-

ues his impressive season on the time trial bike. The 27-year-old finished second in his two most recent time trials – finishing nine seconds behind Primoz Roglic at the Tour of the Basque Country, and just seven seconds behind Tejay Van Garderen at last month’s Tour of California.

Throw in a ninth-placed finish overall at the Tour de Yorkshire (Arguably a more ridiculous use of the “de” than the Tour de Korea), and Bevin seems not far away from turning the close calls into his first stage win since 2016.

Promising Kiwi rider Dion Smith – fresh off finishing third overall at the Baloise Belgium Tour – is also racing at the Dauphine, and crossed the line in 84th in the prologue, 32 seconds off the lead.

The husband of UFC star Andrea Lee has come under fire after a photo of him emerged on social media exposing his swastika tattoo. Lee posted a snap of the pair together at a lake and the Twittersphere quickly noticed the pro-Nazi ink on Donny Aaron’s left arm. Unsurprisingly, Aaron and Lee copped heat on social media. Lee is the No. 12 ranked flyweight contender and has a 9-2 record. She is a former flyweight champion in MMA promotion LFA. - NZME

Wallace undecided Penrith captain Peter Wallace insists he’s in no rush to make a call on whether he wants to play on for one more NRL season. Wallace is a certainty to return from a shoulder injury for the ladder leaders this weekend after completing his first full contact session before last week’s bye. Having missed the Panthers’ past two matches after copping a knock in round 10, the 32-year-old is wary of the strain on his body. “It’s just something that needed a couple of weeks to settle down. Basically it was just pretty sore, it’s an acute injury so there’s not a lot of damage in there,” Wallace said.

Slater ruled out Just hours after coach Kevin Walters declared him set to play, Billy Slater has been ruled out of Wednesday’s State of Origin series opener in a massive blow for Queensland. Brisbane’s Anthony Milford and Newcastle’s Kalyn Ponga will be flown into Melbourne as potential replacements. Veteran fullback Slater’s shock withdrawal after aggravating a hamstring injury is a major setback for a Maroons team already without a total of 151 Origin games worth of experience as they begin life without retired greats Cameron Smith, Johnathan Thurston and Cooper Cronk.

Aussie 7s depleted Australia will be without three of their best as the side attempts to hold off fast-finishing New Zealand in the women’s rugby sevens world series finale in Paris later this week.

Injured Olympic gold medallists Sharni Williams (ankle), Ellia Green and Alicia Quirk (knee) will miss the tournament, where Australia will start with a four-point series lead. Charlotte Caslick will assume the co-captaincy alongside Shannon Parry in Williams’ absence.

Dashing debut delays concerns The connections of Reevederci pulled the right rein when they let the youngster take his chance at Avondale.

They had concerns about the heavy going on Monday, but rolled the dice and the grey coasted to a debut victory in the New Zealand Bloodstock Insurance Pearl Series Race (1200m).

Reevederci sat back off the pace before he was angled off the rail and he bounded to the lead 200m from home and then cleared out to score by a widening eight and a-half lengths from Team Rogerson’s Quintana.

“It was up in the air whether he ran, but we decided to and he’ll be going out now and then come back for the spring and summer,” trainer Lance Noble said.

Victory continued a rewarding holiday weekend for rider Leith Innes, who on Saturday had an equally trouble-free time at Doomben aboard the Gr.2 P. J. O’Shea Stakes (2200m) winner Egg Tart for Chris Waller.

Reevederci was unplaced in his first trial at Taupo in February before he came back to run second in an 800m heat at Cambridge earlier this month.

“He reared at the start and missed it before he tracked up and hit the line well, and that’s not always easy to do at Cambridge,” Noble said.

Bred and raced by Cambridge Stud’s Brendan and Jo Lindsay, Reevederci is a son of Reliable Man and the Irish-bred Danehill Dancer mare Sussex Dancer, whose four foals to race are now all winners.

In brief Derby targets Recent Te Akau acquisition Augustus will run in Saturday’s Gr.1 Queensland Derby (2200m) at Doomben with his long-term goal laying further afield. “He was purchased with the 2019 Singapore Derby in mind,” David Ellis said.

The Te Akau principal bought the son of Snitzel for $A210,000 at an online auction last week. “Chris Waller has told me that the horse is right on target for the Derby and he will head to Brisbane on Wednesday where he will be based in their Queensland stable,” Ellis said.

Walls honoured New Zealand Bloodstock chairman Joe Walls has been made a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit. His services to the thoroughbred industry were acknowledged in the Queen’s Birthday honours list. “When I got the note, I sort of thought there must be other people who have made greater contributions than me,” Walls said. “I’m a bit flattered that they picked me. It was nice that I got that sort of recognition.”

MOTORING

Is your car ready for winter?

No second prize in Origin As far as Brad Fittler is concerned, NSW’s next era of State of Origin Blues have no choice but to win tomorrow night.

Not just for the sake of the series, even though only twice in NSW history have they recovered from 1-0 down to lift the Shield.

And not just because they’re on neutral turf in Melbourne, given in all but one of the eight years where a game has been played on neutral turf, the winner has gone on to claim the series.

But because NSW are preparing for a new era, one free of the heartbreak of the past 12 years.

Fittler has taken the youngest side in 14 years to Melbourne, with the most rookies in Origin history and just 39 games of NSW experience between them.

Five-eighth James Maloney is aged 31 but the rest all have the best part of their career ahead of them, including young halfback Nathan Cleary who finds himself at the helm.

“I always knew from the start it would be a different footy team,” Fittler said on Monday.

“If this team can have a bit of luck and things work out, we can drive footy forward for NSW for a long while.”

Fittler’s task isn’t easy. He concedes he can’t guarantee his rookies won’t crack on the big stage.

“I can’t ensure that at all,” he admitted.

“But so far, so good. It’s been a good camp.”

For that reason, Fittler’s preparation of the rookies is paramount. And the biggest challenge of that will come on game day.

Fittler himself has the experience of having been there before as a youngster. He’s

Brad Fittler: “We’ve just got to nail it (the preparation), it’s as simple as that.” still the Blues’ youngest ever debutant.

Having built a camp based on relaxation, yoga and meditation as a coach, he’s likely to ramp it up further tomorrow.

For instance, last year in Lebanon World Cup camp Fittler told players to lie on the grass and close their eyes after a number of relaxation exercises on the morning of the quarter-final.

Players were asked to close their eyes and picture the best day of their life. And to picture it happening that very night.

“We’ve just got to nail it (the prepara-

tion), it’s as simple as that,” Fittler said of his Origin team.

“There are no second chances for us.

We’re all pretty new to the game; the coaches and a lot of the players too. We’ve just got to nail it.

“We’ve got to win this game. Obviously there will be a reaction to whatever happens in this game, whoever wins or loses.

“We just want to get it right. We feel like we have, we feel like everyone is in a good mood.”

Cryptic crossword

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

WordWheel

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): In this Jenga game of life, what seems like a perfectly stable arrangement can be knocked down in a blink with the right kind of jostle. This knowledge makes you tougher and tenderer about it all.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Sometimes people don’t know what to ask for until they see others get it. Mostly it’s a feeling we’re going for, not an item, though it can be difficult to tell when the item briefly makes us happy.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): At the start, the tendency will be to judge every movement as if it were a sign about whether to continue. Once you get to the middle, the trepidation will disappear into your desire to get it accomplished.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Slowing down isn’t giving up, but it’s not showing full commitment and enthusiasm, either. You’ll be in a highly visible position today, and others will take their social and professional cues from you.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’ll help people by connecting with them through a shared activity. It really doesn’t matter what the activity is. What matters is your approach to it – serious but not solemn, playful but not irreverent.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Removing your expectations from a relationship is not only wise; it’s kind.

It allows people to be who they really are, and it allows you to understand who that is – a knowledge that will enhance your life.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The representation of a thing is always different from the lived experience of it. You’ve always known that you’d have to decide which version you wanted more. The point of decision is fast approaching.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Intimidating characters pepper a group you want to join, but don’t let that deter you. Once inside you’ll find allies, and you’ll also find out that people are friendlier than they seem from the outside.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Friends will meet success. You may have to swallow jealous tinges to be truly supportive, but this will be relatively easy for you when you focus on the good luck that is coming your way.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Those people trying terribly hard to be good (and making a big show of it, at that!) are quite possibly compensating for something else. Keep your eyes open, and be slow to align yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The first requirement for effective action is to make sure you’re really behind it. Determine what you really believe, and then get on your own side. If you’re not on your side, figure out why and change it.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’re likely to take the action most people would – the best and easiest choice. So give yourself easy options that make you proud. It will take planning.

Former Mid Cantabrian Kelsey Ashworth made a big impact on court for Mainland in their Beko Netball League win over Waikato/BOP in Ashburton on Sunday.

Ashworth shines in win

BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mainland and Waikato/Bay of Plenty (BOP) showed Ashburton netball fans just why they’re the top two teams so far in this season’s Beko Netball League on Sunday night.

The two sides played out an exciting and physical clash in front of a big crowd at the EA Networks Centre, which Mainland won 6154, much to the delight of the home crowd.

The Beko Netball League is the tier below the ANZ Championship in which the Mainland Tactix play, and Waikato/BOP went in to the match sitting atop of the standings after three rounds, with Mainland second, and it was a former Ashburton woman who was a key figure in the downfall of the competition leaders.

Kelsey Ashworth wasn’t a part of the Mainland side when it was initially named for the 2018 season but was brought in due to a

Trophy win hard fought P18

couple of injuries, and the little pocket rocket was dynamic and influential in the midcourt for the side coached by two fellow Ashburtonians, Ronelle van Dongen and Andrea Cousins.

Mainland held a slender 32-28 lead at halftime but Waikato/BOP started the third quarter strong and got back within one before drawing even at 36-all.

The two sides went goal for goal for a while before the visiting side got out by two to lead 45-43

at three quarter time.

A change in the shooting circle and some tight defence to start the final quarter helped Mainland draw back level at 46-all though and the tide was suddenly turning in the home side’s favour.

They hit the lead again as a run of five unanswered goals in a row saw them out to a handy lead.

Ashworth continued her stellar game, despite a nasty fall and taking a ball to the head in the dying stages, and helped to en-

sure her shooters kept getting the ball they needed to maintain that lead.

Waikato/BOP made a late change to their shooting circle in an attempt to snatch a late victory, but Mainland kept the pressure on and finished with another scoring spree to take it 61-54.

The Mainland side will be back in Ashburton to play another of their Beko matches at the EA Networks Centre on July 15 at 1.10pm, against South.
