New agri college for Mid Canty

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Melbourne Cup sweep P17

A new agricultural training college, one that will offer a combination of study and on farm work, will be established in the Ashburton District next year.

The new college will be based at what was previously Winchmore Research Station and is the brainchild of New Zealand Dairy Careers director Matt Jones. It will be guided by a six-person board of industry representatives.

The college had been a long time and a lot of research, in the making, Jones said and it was designed to produce graduates with the grassroots skills the industry needed, he said.

“Having dealt with thousands of clients and potential candidates who were looking to be placed within the primary industries, I can see from both sides the skills that are desperately needed by employers and in demand by candidates. I knew the industry was looking for something different,” Jones said.

While there are a number of training courses focused on specific areas of agriculture, the new college would cover every facet of the industry, he said.

It would offer training from the most basic level for school leavers through to those already in the workforce wanting to gain a qualification.

New entrants to the industry would

be required to undertake a four-week residential training course.

Study would be at two levels – a twoyear diploma in agriculture with the option of a further two years of study towards a diploma in agricultural finance management.

Unlike other training courses, the Ashburton agri training programme will be run under City and Guilds rather than being measured against NZQA standards.

McLaughlin retains chairman role

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Methven Community Board members faced two competing bids for the top jobs of board chairperson and deputy, so drew the winners’ names from a bowl.

At their first meeting of the new local body term yesterday, oneterm chairperson Dan McLaughlin had the luck of the draw on his side and was able to return to the role, defeating new member Kelvin Holmes.

For the role of deputy chairperson, Sonia McAlpine won the draw, with Holmes once again defeated.

Holmes had been nominated by fellow newbie for the role of chairperson – Ashburton District Council representative Rodger Letham. The nomination was seconded by member Ron Smith, who has served one term on the board.

The motion was put by the Holmes camp to have the former councillor as chair, but then council representative Liz McMillan nominated McLaughlin, which was seconded by McAlpine.

A show of hands had three supporting each candidate – the nominees each voting for themselves and McLaughlin supported

by McMillan and McAlpine, and Holmes supported by Letham and Smith.

council environmental services group manager Jane Donaldson sought advice from council headquarters. She was informed she had the casting vote.

Donaldson asked if there could instead be a coin toss, whereupon the council correspondent on speaker phone informed her that

that would be okay, as long as the candidates agreed.

“I’m pretty uncomfortable about doing a casting vote, one of them here is not going to speak to me again,” she joked.

The candidates and fellow board members agreed a coin toss was preferable.

Donaldson got a $1 coin from her purse, but following discussion about how to allocate either heads or tails to each of the candidates, board members instead decided to go with writing each candidate’s name on a piece of paper and drawing it from a bowl.

A council assistant prepared

the paper and bowl, and Donaldson said “moment of truth” before drawing out a piece of paper, unfolding it, and reading “Dan”, to which everyone in the room clapped to congratulate McLaughlin.

No sooner had the election finished, than a sense of déjà vu descended upon the room as the same scenario played out for the role of deputy chairperson.

Newly-instated chairman McLaughlin nominated McAlpine as his deputy. McAlpine first of all asked about declining, but then decided she would stand for the role. McMillan seconded the nomination.

Smith then nominated Holmes, which was seconded by Letham.

A show of hands had three supporting each candidate, with each nominee voting for themselves alongside their supporters.

This time McAlpine won the draw and was named as new deputy chairwoman, to which everyone clapped to congratulate her.

“Well that’s democracy in action,” McLaughlin said.

All was not lost for Holmes, who was nominated as the board appointee to the Mt Hutt Memorial Hall Board later in the meeting.

“I’m happy to do that,” he said prior to nominations being called.

He was nominated by McMillan, and McLaughlin appeared relieved and said “good” when there were no competing nominations.

Groups issue safety warnings ahead of Guy Fawkes They’re entertaining to watch up in the night sky, but fireworks come with their fair share of warning messages too.

Tonight is officially Guy Fawkes night and while sales began on Saturday, national organisations such as the SPCA and Fire and Emergency New Zealand are sending out the message around safety for both humans and pets.

Last year, in a two-day period, there were 56 fireworks related incidents across New Zealand and FENZ are urging people to

enjoy the thrill but to put some plans in place.

“We would urge every one planning on using fireworks to think about safety prior to use,” Peter Gallagher, national advisor, Fire Risk Management said.

“It’s important to check the weather forecast, make sure you have water nearby and use the fireworks in a responsible manner.”

Gallagher hopes users will maintain a high level of safety consciousness every time they

use fireworks.

“Whether it’s the first firework you light or the 25th, it is important to check your surroundings, make sure the weather doesn’t pose a danger and to make sure the fireworks are on a flat surface or nailed to a surface as specified in the instructions.”

Tips offered by FENZ to help ensure safety when using fireworks include: not lighting fireworks in windy conditions, carefully reading and then following the manufacturer’s instructions,

lighting fireworks in a wide-open area, keeping a bucket of water or fire extinguisher nearby and pointing fireworks to the sky.

Meanwhile, the SPCA were putting the message out that this time of the year can be a highly distressing one for animals.

Each year SPCA receives dozens of calls relating to fireworks, including: animal injuries, frightened animals, missing pets and, occasionally, abuse of animals.

People who don’t have pets

need to be aware of the stress their use of fireworks can cause others in their neighbourhood and act considerately.

While SPCA does not support the private sale and use of fireworks and has long called for a ban on the sale of fireworks to the public, is urging those planning to set off fireworks on their properties should consider speaking to their neighbours, or leaving a note in their letterbox, so that those with pets and livestock can prepare accordingly.

Ladies club continues to thrive

By Heather Mackenzie

photographers@theguardian.co.nz

The Mayfield District Ladies Dinner Club, originally started by Anama Rural Women 19 years ago, is still going strong.

Founding member Betty George said the idea was born after reading about a similar club.

“I read about something like this somewhere and thought why not,” she said.

“If the men of our district can go out to Lions and have a catered meal, why can’t we?”

George floated the idea at the next Anama Rural Women meeting.

Fortunately, she was not the only one to see merit in the idea, fellow members Ngaire Mackenzie, the late Doreen Mackenzie and Natalie Quantock all agreed with her. With that settled the little committee quickly set about getting the first meeting off the ground.

It was agreed as well as having a dinner and a chance for the women of the large Mayfield district to catch up, they should also be entertained in the form of a speaker.

“In those early days we had speakers from all over the country and from all walks of life. The identity of the speaker is always a closely guarded secret.”

A tradition that is still adhered to to this day.

The inaugural Rural Women Dinner Club was held in August 2001.

Mayfield District Ladies Dinner Club committee members Cathryn McDowell (left) and Sonya Spencer got dressed up for a fun night out with Ethel and Bethel the Bingo Babes.

PHOTO HEATHER MACKENZIE 221019-HM-0002 After dinner the assembled 55 women settled in to listen to their guest speaker.

The group were soon captivated as their guest recounted her story of transitioning from a man to a woman. She has become somewhat of a legend in dinner club circles and is still fondly remembered to this day.

As well as providing local women a chance to catch up, the dinner club has proved to be a lucrative fundraising opportunity for local causes.

“Over the years we must have raised thousands of dollars for our local community. Apart from keeping a small amount back for venue hire and our meagre run-

ning costs, all of the dinner money paid on the night goes to the caterers.”

Fast forward 19 years and the Mayfield hall is hosting the yearly dinner club bring-a-friend night.

The name of the group may have changed, now Mayfield District Ladies Dinner Club, but little else has altered.

At a recent gathering 84 women from all different backgrounds were happily chatting over a cool chardonnay, looking forward to dinner and the mystery guest speaker.

Madeline Brown and Jo Murphy were the caterers for the night.

They are the administrators of i nuinui, meaning The Hope in Fijian.

The pair are raising money to help struggling families in Fiji.

Entertainment was provided in the form of Ethel and Bethel the Bingo Babes. They certainly add an unconventional twist to bingo, nothing stuffy or staid about these two.

Christina Humm, a Mt Somers local of 47 years, has been coming to the dinner club for around five years.

“I enjoy the evenings very much.

It is nice to have a catch up with people and I also make it my mission to meet at least one new person each night,” she said.

“It is a great way to keep in touch with the district, living on a farm can be isolating and this gives me an excuse to get out.”

Lynley Mackenzie said that it was the vision of people like George who had helped pave the way for the club to continue to prosper for so many years.

“Thanks to Betty George and her cohorts of 19 years ago, 84 women left the Mayfield hall feeling a bit better about themselves and the district they live in.”

New agri training college planned for Mid Canterbury From P1 “City and Guilds has been providing technical skills-based education and training since 1878 and this will offer credibility for both graduates and employers,” Jones said.

There will be specialist streams across dairy, arable, sheep, beef and deer, offering a unique approach to training and assessment across the industry that would produce wide-ranging knowledge for graduates, he said.

“We’re looking to provide everything a farmer or employee will need. Our training will start from the absolute basics up.”

Two tutors have been engaged and the college will have the capacity to grow numbers to meet demand. Students will be working on farms as part of the course and study will be a mix of block courses, night classes and off-farm days.

Students would be trained in a very accountable way that was transparent to employers who

would be able to see exactly what they were getting during farm placements and when hiring graduates, Jones said.

Because it will be a private training institution, there will be no government subsidies and students will be required to pay fees, but they will also be working and earning, he said.

“One of the things that’s a real challenge in developing our learning platform for this generation is to get their engagement and en-

thusiasm and we know this will be a challenge but at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how students learn as long as that learning sticks.”

The combination of classroom time and on farm work and learning that involved technology would ensure the style of learning was relevant, he said.

Because it wanted to establish a reputation for producing graduates who were sought by the industry, Jones said they would be selective

when it came to accepting students.

“We want top people coming in and we want top people coming out the other end. We are wanting to define how students can enter the world of primary industries and we are structuring our programme to produce an elite graduate who can hit the ground running with confidence and capability.”

As a base for the college, the buildings at Winchmore’s Research Station were perfect, Jones said.

■■ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

Conviction avoided for theft An Ashburton woman who stole $66,000 from her employer has avoided conviction after paying back more than $94,000 and losing her home in the process.

Not all criminal offending resulted in a conviction, Ashburton District Court Judge Joanna Maze said when she discharged Tracey Anne Milne for the theft.

Milne, 48, was an accountant for Heartland Technology when she stole $66,326 in 52 unauthorised transactions between September 2013 and August 2017.

She has already been disciplined by the accountants’ national body, struck off the register and ordered to pay $5000 in costs.

Judge Maze said she had been told the offending had been motivated by a desire to help her father, who suffered from dementia and cancer and was in financial difficulty. But it had also result-

ed in “terrible suffering” for her family.

The judge said Milne had not used the money for personal gain

or flippant expenditure and she had repaid the money, plus interest and other legal costs incurred by her employer.

“I am told that on December 21, 2017 the defendant met with the directors of the company, admitted what she had done, signed an acknowledgement of debt and agreed to pay not only the money taken but the costs incurred in recovery.”

The total amount repaid by January this year was $94,378, she said. Police had laid the theft charge eight months later.

The judge said police had not explained the delay in bringing the charge, which had had a crushing effect on her and innocent members of her family.

Milne had accepted full responsibility, taken the opportunity to put matters right and had been publicly exposed, she noted.

“No useful purpose can be served by entering a conviction,” the judge said.

Man appears on sixth drink-drive charge Others to appear before Judge Joanna Maze included: Donald Lawrence Finch, 51, admitted driving with excess breath alcohol on Manchester Street in Christchurch on October 12. It was his sixth drinkdrive conviction.

Police said Finch failed a roadside breath test and then blew 891mcg on an evidential test (the limit is 250mcg).

Judge Maze remanded him to December 2 for sentence, noting a condition of his bail was not to consume alcohol in the intervening period. Finch also qualifies for an alcohol interlock device.

Hugh Teawapuna Hanara, 50, was to have been sentenced on his fifth drink drive offence.

But sentencing was adjourned to December 16, so his lawyer could apply for an alternative penalty to the mandatory period of disqualification.

His last drink drive offence was eight years ago.

Shane Patrick Read, 59, was

convicted of drink driving and sentenced to 75 hours of community work. It was his eighth conviction for driving with excess alcohol.

Read, a farmer, was also sentenced to supervision for six months. He is already disqualified from driving indefinitely.

The Eiffelton man admitted driving with 452mcg on Agnes Street on August 9. He was also driving while disqualified.

Judge Maze said drink driving had been a life-long habit for Read, with his first conviction in 1981.

She said it was a habit he needed to break or he could find himself in prison.

Tyler James Winter, 18, of Ashburton, admitted receiving stolen truck batteries, worth nearly $3000. The charge was amended from theft to receiving.

Police said Winter took the batteries to a scrap metal merchant where they were later identified as having been stolen from Mark Love Contracting.

Bernina 475QE

Winter said he had found the batteries in a rest area in September and took them to the scrap metal merchant because he thought they might be valuable.

He was remanded to December 2 for sentence, when he is also appearing for sentence on charges related to the aggravated assault of a police officer.

Saul Brayden Hourston was sentenced to 100 hours’ community work for assaulting another prisoner while they were both in custody. The assault took place in the holding cells at the Ashburton District Court.

Hourston has since been released.

Judge Maze said Hourston was doing well after prison but the assault had involved blows to the head, a vulnerable part of the body.

Kellye Anne Foster, 35, admitted dishonestly using a document, namely a fake lawyer’s letter saying she and her partner

Bernina 570 QE

were to receive $873,000 from an estate.

Foster used the letter as supporting evidence when she applied for mortgages in an attempt to buy a house.

She was remanded to December 16 for sentence.

Police said she signed a sales agreement to buy the house she was living in, then made several applications to mortgage brokers to access the funds needed.

One of the documents she provided with the application was a letter purporting to be from a Dunedin law firm containing details of the estate money.

The letter was identified to be false and she admitted making it herself. She said she felt pressured to buy the property.

Police were also seeking reparation for a $1900 legal bill incurred by the owner of the house over the failed sale.

The case was referred for restorative justice before sentencing with both the law firm and the property owner to be invited to take part.

Defendant’s behaviour ‘nasty’ - judge

By Rob Kidd NZME

A Dunedin woman has been convicted under cyber-bullying laws after outing a sex offender on Facebook.

Patricia Jane Millman (48) had a long-standing dispute with the victim following a landlord-tenant relationship which had soured a decade earlier.

While browsing the social-media site Facebook on May 2, the defendant noticed someone had posted a complaint about the victim in reference to his business.

Millman “took the ball and ran with it”, Judge Jonathan Krebs told the Dunedin District Court this week.

She added to the thread prior names the victim had used, said he had trashed her rental property and owed her $14,000 and had ripped off various companies for $125,000.

Most significantly Millman also wrote that the man had been “in and out of jail most of his life” and was a sex offender.

Defence counsel Sarah Saunderson-Warner told the court the comments her client made had been true but accepted it did not justify her behaviour.

Millman followed it up with a photo of the victim’s work vehicle parked in front of his house.

“Where does he live?” asked another user.

The defendant said she would private message them.

Ms Saunderson-Warner said the photo was deleted shortly after it was posted online.

Judge Jonathan Krebs said the man had suffered significantly as a result of the post.

He had been threatened with physical violence and suffered verbal abuse. It had also resulted in his business suffering.

“All because you took the spontaneous decision to climb in,” the judge said.

“That’s nasty behaviour.”

Millman was convicted and sentenced to four months’ a community detention and 80 hours’ community work.

Pet lamb produces the goods Rakaia School pupil Ben Costello’s first pet lamb proved good enough to win him a mountain bike, awarded by Ashburton A&P Association president David Butterick, (left), and pet lamb judge Chris Watson at the show.

The mountain bike is the prize for winning the Ashburton district primary school champion of champion lamb.

Following each school’s pet parade, two lambs from each primary school are eligible to compete in the competition.

Ben’s pet lamb Buzz, a dorset down cross, was born early in the season, on July 12, giving him a head start in the growth stakes.

The lamb came from a neighbouring farm.

The community group has been running chess days, each Friday from 11am to 2pm, at the East Street chessboard.

Skates said the trolley would help haul out the chess pieces each week, as well as be useful for collecting litter around the town.

Skates said the chess days were so far a great success, with people popping along to have a game, as well as some buskers having taken up the invitation to play.

“It’s a good focal point for the town centre, for people to come and have a game and meet other people,” she said.

Amnesty for learner drivers

By Derek Chang NZME

Up to 144,000 people on learner or restricted driver’s licences will get a two-year reprieve from the risk of losing their licence if they don’t graduate to the next level.

The Government will also look at additional programmes to help disadvantaged drivers to access the next licence stage, and have more driver training in schools.

The moves, announced yesterday by Associate Transport Minister Julie Anne Genter, are a response to a 2014 law change that brought in a five-year time limit on learner and restricted licences for cars and motorcycles.

It was meant to be an incentive for drivers to graduate to a full licence, which would also make them safer drivers.

But Genter said that it appeared to have failed – only 12 per cent of those drivers had booked in a test to move to the next licence.

All learner and restricted licences set to expire by December 2021 – which affects about 144,000 people – will be given a two-year extension so those drivers will not lose their licences.

There were many reasons why people did not move on to the

The Government says the five-year time limit on learner and restricted driver licences has not pushed people to graduate to the next licence. next licensing stage, Genter said.

“Time-limited licences make sense in theory, but we also need to acknowledge that people without the resources, training, or support to pass these tests risk becoming unlicensed when time’s up.

“Whether people are unaware their licence is time limited, or for other reasons, the current rate of learner or restricted drivers progressing to the next licence stage is too low.”

The amnesty will not apply

to those learner and restricted licence holders who hold a 10year licence, have zero alcohol or alcohol interlock sentences, are suspended or disqualified from driving any time before November 30, 2019, or are aged 75 before December 1, 2021.

Genter also said the Government will review the system to look at barriers to drivers graduating to full licences, including the costs and the number of driving instructors.

It costs $134.80 to sit a re-

stricted driver’s licence test, and $109.50 to get a full driver’s licence. A holder of an expiring learner or restricted licence has to pay $65.80 to keep their licence from expiring.

The Government will also: ■■ Launch a campaign to encourage learners and restricted drivers to progress to the next stage.

■■ Look at additional programmes to help disadvantaged young drivers access licensing

■■ Expand access to driver training and resources in schools ■■ Increase the capacity of driver’s licence testing sites.

“My message to licence holders in this situation is – don’t wait.

Book your test now. If cost is an issue talk to Work and Income about the financial assistance on offer,” Genter said.

The 2014 changes came in to try and push holders of learner or restricted licences to move more quickly to a full licence.

At the time, a regulatory impact statement said that 37 per cent of learner’s licence holders (109,102 learner’s licence holders) and 32 per cent of restricted licence holders (98,838 restricted licence holders) held their licences for more than six years.

A survey from 2006 to 2008 showed 38 per cent of those on a learner’s licence had not progressed to a restricted.

Of those, 27 per cent said they were “too lazy or too busy to do so”, 26 per cent said they had limited access to the means to drive, and 14 per cent said it was because of costs.

The 2014 changes also include changes such as photographic ID when applying for a licence to reduce the risk of identity fraud.

The battle to restore Baldwin Street to its former glory is going global.

Dunedin surveyor Toby Stoff jetted off yesterday to the United Kingdom, where he will film an episode of reality television courtroom show Judge Rinder.

And in a new twist, Guinness World Records will come to the party.

Stoff’s goal is to have Baldwin Street restored to its place as the world’s steepest street, after it was dethroned in July by Ffordd Pen Llech in the Welsh resort of Harlech.

He has concerns about the methodology used to determine the title, as the record setting bid was measured on the inside verge of a curve, greatly exaggerating its steepness and disadvantaging Baldwin Street, which is straight.

Just before he flew out, he learned someone from Guinness World Records would also be at the filming of Judge Rinder.

It marked a major turnaround, as the organisation had stayed largely mum on the issue.

“So hopefully we don’t just totally munt

that up, hopefully it’ll be good,” Stoff said.

When asked what he was hoping to achieve with the show, he had a simple answer: “justice for Baldwin Street”.

“We’re just gonna have to play it by ear, it would be nice if Guinness or Judge Rinder said ‘yeah actually good point boys, I see what you’re banging on about, have your world record back’.

“If Guinness were to say ‘yeah’, I’d be as happy as a bee with a bum full of honey.”

When he first got involved in the issue, he never thought it would become this big.

“It was going to be a letter to the editor, basically, and that was going to be it, but it sort of escalated.

“But nah, it’s a bit of a laugh, it should be good.”

He will spend a couple of days in Manchester, England, to film the show before heading to Wales to conduct his own survey of Fford Pen Llech.

But those on tenterhooks about the verdict may have a long wait.

The result will not be known until the episode airs, which could be at least six months down the track.

■■BRAZIL

Meat-lovers going vegan NZME Squeezed into plastic chairs, hand fans going full tilt, hundreds of parents listened in the summer heat.

The planet was in big trouble, they were told, and the time had come for their community in Serrinha, rural Brazil, to do something about it.

The messenger wasn’t one of their own.

She spoke with the hard r’s of the wealthier southeast, not the lilting cadence of Bahia, one of the poorest states in Brazil.

But what Leticia Baird had to tell the parents was even more striking: Here in meat-producing, meat-eating, meat-loving Brazil, the schools were going vegan.

Baird, a prosecutor in the Bahia state public ministry, had convinced four municipalities anchoring this dusty landscape of cactuses and farmland to swap out animal protein for plant protein at all public schools.

By the end of 2019, only plant-based meals would be served to the area’s more than 33,000 students.

“To preserve the environment for the present and for future generations, we need to take additional measures,” she declared.

“Including changing our own habits.”

It’s a surprising paradox: Brazil, the world’s No. 1 exporter of beef – a country where cows outnumber people, and a party isn’t a party without a barbecue – also has one of the highest rates of vegetarianism.

In the past decade, amid mounting awareness of the repercussions of humanity’s meat addiction – from growing rates of obesity to the deforestation of the Amazon –

A programme in rural Brazil has been swapping animal protein for plant-based protein, including that used in soybased sloppy joes.

the number of Brazilians who consider themselves vegetarian has nearly doubled, from 8 per cent of the population to 14 per cent in 2018, according to surveys.

By some measures, only India, with its cultural and religious traditions of vegetarianism, has a higher rate.

The carnivores and the herbivores mostly coexist harmoniously, if discordantly.

In Rio de Janeiro, Burger King rents billboards to tout its newest offering: a plant-based patty with the “flavour and texture of meat.”

But the meeting of meat and health food, conservative tradition and liberal environmentalism would play out differently here in the northeastern state of Bahia, where people eat meat because that’s what people have always eaten.

There would be threats. Fu-

rious parents. A battle over science. Eventually, the government would get involved.

But before all of that, there was Baird, trying to establish the consequences of inaction before hundreds of parents.

The health of children was on the line. The planet was facing an ecological crisis.

“How are we going to resolve this?” she asked.

There’s a question that Baird won’t stop asking.

“Why not? Why not try?” she asked.

protein source for schools, she shook her head.

In a rural environment, she asked, with little money and even less water, why not remove meat, a product that required a lot of both?

In a region where kids suffered from high rates of obesity, why not help them become a bit healthier?

She was from Mato Grosso do Sul in southern Brazil, which unfurled like a green blanket, but this was home now.

After moving to Bahia in 2011, she met her husband, took a prosecutor job monitoring community health and discovered what she believed was the key to sustainable living.

She’d always eaten like a southern Brazilian – lots of breads, meats and cakes.

But after coming to Bahia, where the culture was defined by descendants of West African slaves, she found a completely different cuisine, one based on roots such as yuca and yam. All the nutrients she’d ever need were right there, from vegetables – and she wanted to share the news with others.

“I’m now trying to cut out gluten, too,” she said.

While she navigated a personal journey to a healthier lifestyle, Brazil was in the midst of its own.

By 2015 – even as obesity and diabetes surged – it had become the fifth largest market for healthy food in the world.

Surveys showed three in four people not only wanted to reduce their animal-product consumption – they admired those who did. That set Brazil apart from most Western countries, where, among groups that face prejudice, only drug addicts are liked less than vegans and vegetarians, according to at least one study.

Ruby Rose’s cryptic posts Ruby Rose has taken to social media with a series of suspicious posts following her ex’s engagement announcement. The Batwoman actress formerly dated The Veronica’s star Jessica Origliasso, and the pop star announced her engagement to her trans male partner Kai Corlton on Instagram last week. In response to the announcement, Rose took to her Instagram stories. She posted a series of posts relating to relationships, including: “when nails grow long, we cut nails not fingers. Similarly when misunderstanding grow up, cut your ego, not your relationship.”

Shorters’ Christmas surprise Who is on their way out and who is coming back to Ferndale for the infamous Shortland Street Christmas cliff-hanger?

The soap’s annual Christmas episodes have become something of a New Zealand TV tradition. It’s a time when the production pulls out all the stops and we see some of the year’s biggest storylines come to a head — with the lives of many of our most popular characters put in jeopardy. So whose lives are in danger this year? “It wouldn’t be Christmas in Ferndale if lives were not in danger – but it isn’t going to be who you would expect it to be,” says producer Maxine Fleming.

Croc attack foiled by 11-year-old NZME A schoolgirl has saved her friend from the deadly grip of a crocodile by leaping onto the beast’s back and gouging its eyes.

Rebecca Munkombwe, 11, from Sinderela Village in Zimbabwe rushed to the scene after hearing screams, to find nineyear-old Latoya Muwani being pulled under the water.

“We had just left the water when we heard Latoya who was left alone swimming near the neck-deep zone screaming that something was biting her hand,” Rebecca said.

“Since I was the eldest among the other seven children, I felt the urge to save her.

“So, I jumped into the water and swam to where she was struggling to float.

“She was screaming in pain that something was biting and pulling her under.”

Realising that the croc had a firm grip on her friend, Rebecca made the

split-second decision to jump on to its back.

She gouged the crocodile’s eyes until it released the younger girl.

“I jumped on top of the crocodile and started beating it with my bare hands before using my fingers to poke its eyes until it released her.

“Once she was free, I swam with her to the banks where the other children pulled her out of the water. The crocodile fortunately did not attack us after it let off Latoya,” she said.

Latoya’s father said he was “grateful to God” for Rebecca’s heroic actions and said that his daughter was recovering well and the family expect her to be discharged soon.

“For a moment there I thought of the worst before I learnt that she had survived after being saved by Rebecca.

“How she managed to do that I don’t know,” he said.

Therapy for Mary Poppins Dame Julie Andrews has revealed that she needed therapy following the success of Mary Poppins. She even locked away the best actress Oscar she won for portraying the magical nanny in her first Hollywood film in 1964. The 84-year-old said: “l kept the Oscar in the attic for a very long time because I thought I’d been given it as a ‘Welcome to Hollywood’ and I didn’t feel worthy of it. So much early success sent me into therapy and analysis. I learnt you have to do it right and honour the films you are making. It’s a huge gift, but a lot of obligation.”

OUR VIEW

Chasing three in a row in the big one I

f I can give one tip to anyone hopeful of making a fortune off the running of today’s Melbourne Cup it would be a simple one – prepare to be disappointed.

People will go years, perhaps even a lifetime without backing a winner of the great race and despite all the best intentions of landing that massive trifecta (first three horses past the post) the harsh reality is that for so many it’s nothing more than a glorified donation.

Hence why the call it gambling, I suppose.

There really is no true rhyme nor reason when it comes to Melbourne Cup success. Sure, there are certain historical things that might force someone to lean one way or another, or certain

horses who need certain things to happen for them to show their best.

Today’s running of the race won’t be any different.

There is plenty of information in the form books leading into the race, but the biggest problem is that the Melbourne Cup is one race which usually requires the form book to be thrown out the window.

Statistics are your best friend when you are having a dabble on the great race.

Age is a big thing. Four and five-year-old horses have won the most editions of the race with 44 victories each – so there’s a good start.

The weight the horse is carrying is another big thing. These are set weights, so you don’t have to worry about a jockey sneaking off between the third and fourth race and scoffing down 12 hot dogs and a can of coke.

The weight shown is the weight the horse will carry. Anything around the 54kg mark seems to be the best option looking back through the years.

Last year the above information led me to find Cross Counter

who was an emphatic winner of the race and returns again this year. His win followed on from managing to land the dart on the top of Rekindling the year before, so I’ve heaped the pressure on myself to try and make it three winners in a row.

If I was to use the same theories applied which landed me the previous two winners then perhaps Youngstar should be my selection. Trained by Kiwi superstar, Chris Waller and ridden by Tommy Berry, she’s got the lightest weight in the race and some solid form.

But no, it’s not her. It’s not Cross Counter either, although God Bless for that financial boost 12 months ago once more.

Former Kiwi hoop James

McDonald has a good chance on Latrobe who hasn’t been too far away from all the action recently, his success would be a popular one.

And there’s always the third strong Kiwi tie, The Chosen One – owned by a group of farmers from one family down in the deep south.

It’s none of those either though.

I’ve settled for the second last horse in the book.

Vow And Declare.

It’s looked desperately in need for the maximum distance of two miles which it gets today and its runs have been excellent. Craig Williams is a world class jockey and will give him every possible chance of success.

Here’s hoping for three in a row.

FROM THE FARM

Write to us!

No sooner is one proposal over, when another pops up.

This is even more so given this avalanche of national rules and regulations is on top of existing biosecurity, animal welfare, employment, health and safety, district, regional air, water and land plans and bylaws.

From a policy perspective, we want to make sure all these rules talk to each other.

Nobody gains from confusing, unclear rules that contradict or duplicate each other.

Farmers generally just want to know what they can and can’t do as of right, and what they might need a resource consent for.

Having to work that out by looking at umpteen rules from different places never goes down well.

We’re currently facing new or changed proposals on water, biodiversity, soils and climate change, and if we get this right, we can address all four matters at once.

There are real risks though if the answers are at cross-purposes. For example, if we just look at climate change, the answer for some is just to cover New Zealand in a sea of pines.

The implications for biodiversity, soils and water, and for rural communities, are stark if this path is taken.

Diversification will ultimately provide the way through for many farmers.

We just need to look at the farmers around the Wanaka district, already scoping out

new breeds, products or markets; including taking up tourism and recreational venture opportunities as they arise.

While the media talks up synthetic proteins (or fake meat or milk), many farmers are already looking to see what ingredients these are made from, and working out what is needed to grow them.

At the end of the day, the real solutions to these challenges will come from on-farm and catchment level.

We just need to give farmers sufficient ability to innovate and adapt, and the agility to move without being locked in

at a point in time, and they’ll use it, just as Kiwis always have.

Change can be scary, but I think it’s a ‘watch this space’ for the future of farming.

This is the time to get things right.

hat will farming look like in 20 years’ time?

To a large degree, that depends on the industry’s ability to turn challenges into opportunities.

It also means making sure the rules of today don’t prevent the changes needed tomorrow.

New Zealand has faced a number of defining moments in its history – through early European settlement, wars, subsidy removals, natural disasters and more.

Early New Zealand farmers had it hard, but they adapted, and ultimately laid the groundwork for New Zealand to become the thriving country it is today. Massive innovation came about in those early decades, fundamentally changing the face of farming.

During the World Wars, New Zealand changed again, with farmers helping to get the country through those darkest times.

From adversity, again came opportunities and innovation.

At each of the key points in our country’s modern history, flexibility has been key to enabling farmers to assess where they’re at, what the future might look like, and how to get there. Whether the drivers for change are economic, regulatory, market, climate, political or environmental, that need for agility remains.

The death-knell to flexibility is rigid rules that lock practices in at a specific point in time.

This is even more so if that point in time is decades earlier, disregarding the human activity and modification of the environment (urban, industrial and rural) that subsequently occurred.

Proposals for rigid rules seem all too rife at present.

It’s a bit like playing ‘whack a mole’.

■■ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

Special double for Miles

By Heather Chalmers

heather.c@theguardian.co.nz

Lyndhurst stud sheep breeder Johnny Miles achieved a special double at the Ashburton A&P Show, taking the first two placings for supreme champion meat breed ram hogget.

He won with a suffolk, while his dorset down was runner-up.

It is rare for a stud breeder to achieve first and second in the class. Judges said the suffolk had a beautiful width and a very good loin.

Miles said that wins were

hard to get. While the number of sheep exhibited had dropped from earlier years, competition was still strong.

“I’ve had a few firsts before, but not a first and second.

“The fellow Lowe at Hinds is hard to beat,” he joked.

He came every year to the Ashburton Show and also exhibited at the New Zealand Agricultural Show in Christchurch.

His Coleford stud, which he has run for about 40 years, had 300 stud ewes. As many sheep on the Canterbury plains had been

replaced by dairy cows, buyers of his stud rams now came from further afield.

As winner of the supreme champion meat breed ram hogget, he was awarded the Peter Hampton Memorial Cup, named after a Mid Canterbury sheep breeder and exhibitor who died in 2017.

The cup was presented by Peter Hampton’s son, Chris, from Cave in South Canterbury, who continues to breed and exhibit south suffolk, suffolk and charollais sheep.

Lowe family continues A&P success

By Heather Chalmers

The Lowe family of Lynnford can take credit for breeding the supreme sheep exhibit at the Ashburton A&P Show, but they no longer own it.

The three-year-old romney ram is now owned by the Wilson Family Trust, of Mid Canterbury.

Tom Lowe said a lot of their romney rams were sold to farmers in Central Otago and around Gore. “They handle the conditions down there quite well.”

breed ram hogget. Judges said it was “extremely sound, stands on four good legs, with a lovely even jacket of wool”. A romney from the Letham family was placed second and a black and coloured sheep was third.

As well as a border leicester stud, the Copland family also runs a commercial border romney first cross ewe flock.

Copland said that some of their border leicester rams were sold to Central Otago, where farmers crossed them with merinos to produce halfbred sheep.

In the youth stock judging, mainly primary school children were giv-

en four sheep to judge. Judge Chris Hampton said it was an educational day as well as a competition.

Competitors allocated points for various parts of the sheep, such as head and shoulder, loin and structure to determine the best animal. Four competitors got the correct order.

“Hopefully it encourages more people to be stock judges and to became breeders of stud sheep. We are all getting older and need some young ones coming in,” Hampton said.

Nikita Skudder, of Dunsandel, won the secondary school judging and Ashburton Intermediate pupil, Tyler Tuki, the primary school section.

MARKET REPORT

By Guy Trafford One of the more pleasurable activities experienced when at Lincoln Uni was being involved with taking a group of students to Miami to participate in a case study competition against other universities from around the globe.

This part went well without bringing home any silverware but the highlight was a side trip over to Cuba to look at their agriculture and speak at their agricultural university.

This trip took place in July 2017 and since then there has been a ramping up of the ‘Trump effect’ with an increase in barriers and access, plus a cyclone in 2018, so the challenges for those living there will have increased.

Apart from experiencing a new culture, part of the motivation of visiting Cuba was to see how their agriculture operated.

Largely horticultural, with a focus on growing tobacco for their renown cigars, they do have a small dairy and livestock industry.

A feature which stands them apart from other countries is the decision to put all farms under the organics umbrella. This decision was driven largely by pragmatic reasons rather than any great philosophical belief in organics.

If we look at New Zealand, one of our larger imports (dollar wise) is the cost of imported fertiliser. Cuba, with all sorts of trade barriers on both exports and imports, compliments of the US, has restricted access to fertilisers and probably couldn’t afford them anyway.

Recently, probably a result of the barrage of environmental requirements as well as the growing demand for well grown healthy food, it made me wonder if a similar move – to what Cuba has done – could be applied to New Zealand.

New Zealand farmers are steadily moving to that paradigm with the term “biological farming” becoming more prevalent. Not organic, but certainly a reduction in the reliance on synthetic chemicals and a lesser environmental footprint. However, being ‘partially’ organic does not capture the full benefits that are available.

Along the same lines is a need to separate our food production from that produced in our competing countries and the threat of competing, cheap, lab-based foods which are looking increasingly likely to start to take up the space of commoditised food, ie food that is sold on price and supplies the food service sector where there is little differentiation from other bulk-produced foods.

Milk products is the sector that is most at risk from this technology, largely from the amount of milk powder that is sold as a commodity although all food products are exposed to a greater or lesser degree.

When setting up business some of the principles to help assure success are to: provide something better, provide something different and, arguably, provide something cheaper.

The last of these – provide something cheaper – can often end up being a race to the bottom and ends up not being sustainable.

So, different and better, at least in the eyes of the consumer, is a mantra worth following.

Promoting the benefits of organics on Radio NZ, Gary Hirschberg told the story of organic dairy in the US. He started in 1973 with seven cows selling organic milk. Around 40 years later the business was sold to Danone for $US1.7 billion. Using his figures, the organics dairy industry in the US is worth $US60 billion and growing at a rate of 14 per cent per year compounding. Whereas the conventional market is contracting.

Of interest is that Hirschberg visited New Zealand 18 years ago as a guest of Fonterra before they went to their on again, off again, on again programme.

The business that was sold to Danone has

2000 family farm suppliers with an average size of 80 cows, not quite the image one sees of the US dairy industry, but the big difference is that they are profitable, at a time when most US dairy farms are struggling to break even.

Given the issues all agriculture in New Zealand is facing from increasing consumer resistance, regulations which are driving farming away from the production driven model, a move to an organic agricultural sector may be worth contemplating.

New Zealand already has many advantages over other competing countries, with our image of natural systems and the clean, green environment we promote and we have a well organised service sector. The leap to organics shouldn’t be seen as being too great.

No doubt there will be issues and, with a sector as large as dairy, what impact on the price of organics 30 per cent of world trade converting would need closer examination.

However, it may be that a whole new area of trade could be opened up.

Red meat would also face similar issues.

But for all sectors premiums would be achieved, we might find that the nation buys back into its agricultural history and farmers stop feeling like they are the pariahs of society, which many must feel like they are at present.

Could it happen?

Certainly, plenty of farmers in all sectors of ag have proved this.

Will it happen?

Attitudes will be the biggest barrier, and some would go down this path screaming.

But perhaps it is about time farm leaders started this conversation, it may provide a future that has more certainty than the one farming currently faces.

Back to Cuba, while we saw some better examples of farming, most looked to be severely suffering from a lack of capital and knowledge or perhaps motivation, largely driven by the state constraints on what could be produced and what percentage the farmer could retain for their own benefit.

However, this doesn’t mean that New Zealand couldn’t do it better.

Markets

Sheep The unseasonal rise in the schedule for both lamb and mutton continues with record prices for schedules being achieved.

Saleyard prices for lambs are a little muted with the cross-over between last season’s and new season’s lambs taking place.

In the past months there were concerns that lamb, in particular, may struggle with the Brexit shenanigans ongoing.

However, with the Brexit extension into the new year from the EU and the China influence, lamb prices have continued to lift.

Wool No sales this week. Changes on charts due to the rolling average.

Beef Prices have lifted on schedules across the board.

Saleyard numbers for the prime cattle are low and difficult to get too much of a picture except that prices are not following.

Spring came a little late for some but the grass market should be kicking in now and, so long as we don’t go into a prolonged dry period, prices should hold.

On that front, CPW already have restrictions placed on additional water due to the lack of westerly rainfall filling the rivers. It’s early for this to occur, but hopefully not a precursor of a dry summer.

Venison The one product that is bucking the trend. Venison continues to have its schedule price eroded at a fairly rapid rate.

The way things are going lamb may overtake the venison price (yeah right).

Dairy A quiet week just gone except for the news that Synlait are looking to purchase Dairyworks for $112m. Their internal expansion continues.

■■INSURANCE SURVEY

Those expensive insurance claims NZME Kids do the darndest things. They also flood houses, crack spa pools, incinerate decorations and conduct wildly dangerous experiments.

All this according to research conducted by AA Insurance over the last 12 months, which shows that 10 per cent of the total $30 million in contents claims were caused by children.

The AA Insurance claims team has seen it all, from phones being thrown down toilets, to every kind of liquid and solid dropped on laptop keyboards.

“While some can be expensive, and frustrating, sometimes you have to smile at why it’s happened and at the kids’ reasoning behind it,” says AA Insurance customer relations manager Amelia Macandrew.

The damages caused vary from the relatively expensive to eye-watering figures.

One of the more expensive examples included a teenager who became distracted on his phone and left the kitchen tap running.

The entire kitchen was flooded, with water getting under the floor-

boards, lino and the carpet in the living room and cost over $15,000 to dry out and repair.

Another customer’s kids caused $20,000 of damage by wrestling in a spa pool and cracking the fibreglass lining.

Briscoe Group says the final quarter of the year is looking positive after an increase in third-quarter sales.

The homewares and sporting goods retailer said its unaudited sales for the 13 weeks to October 27 came to $140.4 million, 5.7 per cent higher than a year earlier.

Homeware sales lifted 4.7 per cent to $87.9 million and sporting goods sales rose 7.4 per cent to $52.4 million.

“The group has delivered very solid sales growth during this third quarter in a highly competitive retail market,” said managing director Rod Duke.

In September, Briscoe reported a flat first-half net profit and said the second half was uncertain given subdued business and consumer confidence, increased cost pressures and the lower New Zealand dollar.

slowly returning to normal.

ASB Bank economist Mike Jones said the volume was up about 8 per cent from September on a seasonally-adjusted basis and indicated a continuation of Auckland’s recovery over the past two or three months.

Sales volume was returning to more normal levels rather than boomtime levels, he said.

The city’s biggest realtor said vendors returned to the Auckland residential property market, with 1605 new listings in the month a 33.3 per cent increase from September.

Yesterday, Duke told BusinessDesk that October was “very strong” and that the “fourth quarter is looking a bit encouraging”.

Consumer confidence is faring slightly better, according to the latest ANZ-Roy Morgan consumer confidence index reported last week.

Of the 1001 respondents to the consumer confidence survey, a net 20 per cent said they were better off financially than they were 12 months earlier, up from 11 per cent in September. That was the highest level since 2007.

Business confidence also improved slightly, but remains deeply negative. A net 42.4 per cent of the 412 respondents surveyed by ANZ Bank expect general business conditions will deteriorate during the coming year, down from 53.5 per cent in September.

However, firms’ optimism about their own activity fell, with a net

3.5 per cent now expecting things to get worse, compared with the net 1.8 per cent who were negative in the September survey.

On a same-store basis, Briscoe says group sales were 4.1 per cent above the third quarter last year. The same-store calculation adjusts for the new Rebel Sport stores opened by the group at Papanui, Christchurch in November 2018 and in Newmarket, Auckland in September this year, Briscoe Group said.

On a same-store basis, homeware sales increased by 4.7 per cent, while sporting goods sales were 3.2 per cent higher.

Duke also noted that online sales for the first nine months of the financial year are up 20 per cent versus the same period a year earlier.

The stock last traded down 0.3 per cent at $3.66 and have gained 8.6 per cent year-to-date.

This wasn’t even the most expensive example shared.

This accolade goes to the son who was conducting a science experiment on the stove, which then exploded and burnt the floor and three cupboards. This little lesson

One of the more hilarious stories comes from an 8-year-old girl who almost burnt down her family home when she put a fivefoot Halloween skeleton, dressed as Santa, next to the fireplace and that had a lit candle on the mantle.

The clothing ignited and the skeleton began to melt, but thankfully a parent quickly moved the flaming Santa skeleton across the hall, out the front door and extinguished it on the driveway.

While the accident only caused $100 of contents damage, the bill for damage to the house came to $3300.

In another incident, a customer was outside hanging the washing, while the children he was minding took a pair of scissors to his $4000 couch and chairs.

“While some incidents are relatively small and don’t take much to rectify, others are a life lesson in expensive mistakes,” said Macandrew.

“Our recommendation is that, if you have children, it pays to take out contents insurance; not only to protect your own property, but your legal liability for damage caused to someone else’s too.”

per cent from October 2018.

At the end of the month, the realtor had 3820 properties on its books, up from 3694 at the end of September, but still down 21.2 per cent from a year earlier.

Managing director Peter Thompson said new listings had been limited since March and were at a twoyear low at the start of October. But he said the latest increase signalled an active selling season into the end of the year.

“What October’s data signals is both vendors and buyers are coming to accept that the market conditions that have prevailed for more than two years now are the new norm and that there is no big price increases or major price declines on the horizon,” Thompson said.

Real Estate Institute figures showed Auckland residential property prices have been falling at a slower pace in recent months, with annual house price inflation down 0.8 per cent in September compared to a 4.4 per cent annual decline in April.

Jones said if the Auckland property market continued to recover, he would also expect to see business confidence improve.

“There is growing acceptance that today’s prices represent where the market is valuing property, and that’s where it’s likely to stay,” Thompson said.

About 30 per cent, or 247 properties, were sold for more than $1 million, and 9.5 per cent, or 78, went for more than $2 million.

Heritage 14 Ashburton Guardian

A tiny museum

By Tanya Zoe Robinson

T

he Ashburton District is lucky to have a wealth of museums – from the relatively large Ashburton Museum, to the Aviation, Vintage Car, Lynn Woodworking and Plains Vintage Railway and Historical museums, to the relatively small Staveley Museum, Mt Somers’ Foothills Museum, and Corwar Lodge, near Barrhill.

The Methven Heritage Centre includes several museum activities, including the New Zealand Alpine and Agriculture Encounter, New Zealand Ski Heritage Museum and Hall of Memories.

Then there’s the recently updated Methven Museum and Fire Museum, and the Ashburton Art Gallery.

But the smallest museum in the district must definitely be the Rakaia Huts Museum.

While just a tiny one room building, it’s packed with interesting material on the Rakaia Huts area.

The building The Rakaia Huts Museum is also affectionately known as the ‘brick hut’.

Made of brick with a corrugated gable roof, it was built to a simple, symmetrical design with a central front door, two windows and a fireplace and chimney at one end.

The hut was built about 1906, for use by men working on the roads, and used as a shelter and picnic area for fishermen and the public.

Today the front door is hung with a sign that says ‘Museum’, and inside there’s a wealth of information, photos and newspaper clippings about both the history of the hut and the area.

Much of the work to turn the once dilapidated hut into a museum was completed by local volunteers in the late 1990s, including Bill and Mary Goodenough, Janice Dent and Bev Oakley.

There was much to do.

The hut had been used to store equipment and materials used for flood protection work that local bach owners in turn had used to protect their properties from high rivers.

It was a big team effort but the hut was soon cleaned out, restored, and painted inside and out.

It also gained a new concrete floor and floor coverings.

With the addition of histor-

Tuesday, November 5, 2019

ical information, furniture and scene setting, two years of dedicated work and research came to fruition.

The museum was officially opened to the public again on Waitangi Day 1998.

A visit Over 20 years later the museum is still a great spot to visit. The walls are lined with stories that tell of local events large and small.

Major floods have hit the area many times over the years. These local events are described through people’s stories of the challenges and of their perseverance in managing these destructive events.

Photos and the words of the people themselves help bring these stories and experiences to life.

One big, local project carried out over many years was to ensure good flood protection.

In memory of this, outside the building in a peaceful spot under a tree, is a memorial to Doug Hood, ‘who through his determination, commitment and dedication ensured the security of the settlement from flood damage’.

On a happier note, the hut is clearly a place with many fond memories and experiences.

Candid images capture sunny days and just some of the many families who have enjoyed and spent time at the hut, sharing meals, fun and adventures in a social setting. It’s obvious that many good times were had here.

The Rakaia Huts Museum is often open for visitors during the summer – just ask for directions from one of the friendly locals.

Team golf returns Warm temperatures and blue skies made for a perfect weekend for golf, and 10-year-olds (from left) Gus Watt, Ryan Dolan and Jake Dolan were among those making the most of it. After a morning of golf, they were among those who took part in the Ashburton Golf Club’s Futures Team Golf event on Sunday afternoon. Team Golf is a concept which gives youngsters a chance to give the sport a go as part of a team, on a shortened course, over fewer holes. Team Golf will be back at the Ashburton Golf Club this Sunday from midday until 2pm, and again on November 24 and December 1. It costs $5 per child, per event.

City slickers clean up

Robbie Edgeworth has clear track in front and behind him during the youth ministock event at Ashburton Speedway on Sunday.

The November meet at the Ashburton Speedway track was a big one, with one of the features being a battle between stockcar development teams from Ashburton and Christchurch, which was taken out by team Christchurch. The day also included racing by adult and youth ministocks, C grades, saloons, productions and quarter midgets. The next meet at Ashburton Speedway will be on December 1.

■■RUGBY

Itoje feels the pain England lock Maro Itoje has opened up about his side’s Rugby World Cup final defeat saying it is one of the “most painful experiences” of his life.

The 24-year-old was man of the match in his side’s semi-final win over the All Blacks but a week later wasn’t prepared to put the runners-up medal on his neck after a disappointing loss to South Africa.

“Sport’s cruel sometimes,” Itoje said after a 32-12 defeat on Saturday.

“Losing this game is definitely one of the most painful experiences I’ve had, in life, to be honest, not only in my rugby career,” Itoje said.

Itoje made 15 tackles in the final, the most in the match alongside South African Franco Mostert, but he accidentally concussed teammate Kyle Sinckler in just the second minute which was an early blow for England.

A week after delivering quite possibly the greatest win in its rugby history over the All Blacks in the semi-finals, England barely laid a glove on the Springboks.

“You can have the most investigative debrief of your game and you still don’t know what was wrong,” England coach Eddie Jones said.

“It just happens sometimes. It’s not a good day for it to happen.”

■■MOTOR RACING

Six of the best for Hamilton AP Lewis Hamilton could have settled in for a nice Sunday drive to win the Formula One championship.

There was no chance he was going to do that.

Not with history at his fingertips.

Hamilton wrapped up his sixth career F1 championship with a second-place finish at the US Grand Prix, a race he led late until surrendering the position to Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas in the final laps.

The 34-year-old British driver moved within one of the record seven titles won by Germany’s Michael Schumacher.

Hamilton has won the last three championships and locked this one up with two races left.

“Still we rise!” Hamilton shouted to his team over the car radio after the checkered flag.

Once he parked, Hamilton stood on his car and grabbed his head in both hands, then draped himself in a Union Jack flag.

Minutes later, rival Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel, whose run of four straight titles was ended by Hamilton in 2014, embraced him with a handshake and a hug.

The sixth championship moves

Hamilton past Argentina’s Juan Manuel Fangio, the Godfather of F1 drivers who won five titles in the 1950s.

“It’s an honour to be up here with these (past) greats,” Hamilton said.

Hamilton has been a dominant force at the Circuit of the Americas, with five wins here since it opened in 2012, but a poor qualifying left him starting from the third row in fifth.

He said after qualifying he’d need a miracle to win, then tried to make it happen.

Hamilton avoided trouble at the start as the cars bolted uphill into the blind left turn that can turn the field into a demolition derby.

He stayed clear of the dangerous traffic and gave Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Ferrari’s Leclerc plenty of room to avoid a collision.

Hamilton turned the race on its head with a bolt to third on the first lap when he passed the Ferraris of Vettel and Charles Leclerc.

That made the championship all but inevitable, as a finish as low as eighth would clinch it.

Hamilton wasn’t going to settle for that.

He secured the 2015 title on

the same track when he fought off Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in the final laps to get the victory.

He was somewhat disappointed in 2017 and 2018 when he clinched those titles in Mexico City without reaching the podium either time.

That made a podium yesterday a must.

“My dad taught me when I was like 6 or 7 years old to never give up.

“That’s our family motto,” Hamilton said.

“That’s all I was thinking all day, ‘How could I win this race?’”

Bottas was the only driver still mathematically in the hunt for the title, but just barely.

Bottas had to win and have Hamilton fade to his worst finish of the year in order to extend the championship to the Brazilian Grand Prix in two weeks.

“Winning it was the only thing I could do to try to maintain the title hopes,” Bottas said. “I did my part but Lewis was still strong, as he always is.”

Verstappen was looking to pass Hamilton on the final lap, but a yellow flag caused by Haas driver Kevin Magnussen ended the threat and gave Mercedes the 1-2 Lewis Hamilton is a happy man after the US Grand Prix yesterday. finish.

■■MELBOURNE CUP

Kiwi runners in short supply

By Michael Guerin And then there was one.

That is all that is left of the Kiwi challenge for today’s $8 million Melbourne Cup after just The Chosen One made the final field for the race that stops two nations and forces a lot of racing people on the other side of the world to get out of bed early.

It is not a bad name for our sole Melbourne Cup rep, the kind of name likely to lure in one-bet-ayear punters.

It sounds almost religious.

But it is going to take a lot more than a catchy name to make the Waikato four-year-old competitive at Flemington today.

Nothing went right for The Chosen One in the $300,000 Lexus Handicap on Saturday when he got further back than expected and ran on well for fifth.

There was nothing wrong with the run, but it hardly inspired

you to back him today.

But at least he is in the race for trainers Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman.

Fellow New Zealand stayer Sir Charles Road was an honest fourth in the win-and-you-are-in Lexus taken out by Downdraft so he missed a Cup start by a couple of spots.

Auckland Cup winner Glory Days pulled out last week with a minor injury.

So while there are horses like Surprise Baby representing the New Zealand breeding industry, The Chosen One will be the only one of the 24 runners truly flying the flag.

Forsman was willing to forgive Saturday’s run but not kidding himself about the mountain to climb today.

“We knew we were in trouble after 800m on Saturday, we were trying to get him to settle but there was no speed on,” he said.

“So he made good ground but we realise how strong a field it is on Tuesday.

“But the blinkers come off and we have an experienced jockey in Tim Clark so we are happy to have him in the race.”

With The Chosen One rated 80-1 in Australia you could ask why his connections wouldn’t bother targeting one of the rich country cups as a consolation.

But most owners never get to have a Melbourne Cup starter and there is the not insignificant matter of even the horse who finishes 12th earning $160,000, more than you get for winning most NZ group one races.

If he is able to relax and runs out the 3200m, The Chosen One can get one of those cheques but a top three placing would be a huge surprise, with his best campaigns probably still ahead of him.

And this is not the Melbourne Cup we all grew up on, full of good

Tim Clark will be aboard The Chosen One at Flemington today.

local stayers and the odd out-ofform Aussie horse who snuck in via an Oaks or Derby win the previous season.

The overseas form, while puzzling for many, is strong from topweight and defending champion Cross Counter, through Japanese-trained Caulfield Cup win-

ner Mer De Glace to an army of O’Brien horses.

Champion Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien has three in the race, but he has been usurped by his son Joseph, who incredibly has four.

After the draw Constantinople (barrier seven) and Mer De Glace (gate two) headed the markets but the reality is the great race looks a lottery to be decided by how well they handle the 3200m, who reproduces their overseas form and most importantly who gets the most economical and clearest run.

But if that is all way too complicated for you and you simply want to back the only Kiwi in the race, consider this.

The Chosen One has drawn barrier 18.

That is the only barrier in the history of the Melbourne Cup no horse has ever won from.

Don’t feel the need to be parochial.

Previous cryptic solution

Fill the grid so that every column, every row and 3x3 box contains the digits 1 to 9.

8 1

7 8 9

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You understand something intellectually that you don’t understand emotionally or vice versa. Keep trying to engage more of yourself in the solution through a combination of action and reflection.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Where is this going? Think about the end, and you’ll do all the other parts better. Bonus: Keeping the end in mind will also help you avoid wasting time and suffering unnecessarily.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Just as every bit of your body has a DNA signature, your energy has a signature. It goes wherever you go. You don’t even have to touch anything for that signature to be felt.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The stakes are high, not because something terrible will happen if you lose, but because the time it takes to play the game is time you’ll never get back.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): People have backward ways of saying they miss you. They might complain about your absence instead of celebrating your presence. You’ll have to mentally reinterpret things to get the true message.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The success or failure of a venture will hinge on communication.

You will listen carefully, stay engaged and express yourself so as to have the best chance at being heard and understood.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Typically, life can be taken in small steps, just not today. This scenario requires certainty and boldness – a chasm you can’t cross in two jumps. Back up, get a running start, and commit to one big leap.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You may be adept at a thing, but you’re not really a master of it until you can effectively teach it. You’ll be forced to be aware of what you’d normally do automatically.

You’ll grow in confidence and insight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Those who accept and love you offer a warm sort of attention that’s very different from the attention you’ll receive from those getting to know you, which you’ll experience as more visceral and intense.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): When it comes to relationships of any kind – professional, romantic, platonic, financial or other – the same rule applies. People are attractive in inverse proportion to how needy they are.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’ll be building your team. Keep in mind that groups with diverse talents are the strongest. A person who can’t keep up with you in certain regards can make a terrific addition to your life.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): A sad clown isn’t an oxymoron so much as an astute observation of funny people. Humour is a way to turn sadness outward instead of inward. You’ll forget about that as they laugh and love you today.

Rare double for Ashburton athletes Preparing for landing during the long jump event at the Arthur Cup and Rakaia Cup event hosted by the Ashburton Athletics Club at the Ashburton Domain oval on Sunday, was Connor Heneghan. A big day for the Ashburton club also ended up being a top one, with the Ashburton team getting their hands on both cups on offer for the first time since 2015. Ashburton beat out teams from Temuka, South Canterbury, Waimate and Geraldine to claim the Arthur Cup, with a total of 472 points.

Temuka finished second with 305 points. The Rakaia Cup pitted Ashburton against Selwyn, and Ashburton finished on 468 points compared to Selwyn’s 356.

MC claims Biggar Memorial

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s rep cricket season got off to a top start in Timaru on Sunday, beating South Canterbury by six wickets to claim the Ron Biggar Memorial Trophy for the first time since 2015.

In perfect cricketing conditions at Aorangi Oval, the home side won the toss and elected to bat first, but only made it through to 110 all out off 32.5 overs.

Mid Canterbury coach Garfield

Charles said the South Canterbury batsmen were a bit loose early on, while Mid Canterbury opening bowler Richard Turpie bowled tight lines, and ended the day with 3/9.

Mid Canterbury’s bowling lineup on Sunday also featured a couple of young Ashburton College bowlers on debut and both Tom Middleton and Angus Jemmett took a wicket each.

Jemmett in particular was bowling with good control, as did

Jay Houston, Charles said.

Mid Canterbury opener Nick Gilbert – fresh off scoring all of the 36 runs required in his Tech side’s runs chase the day before – then got Mid Canterbury off to a good start with a knock of 33, before captain James Southby saw his side home with an unbeaten knock of 35.

Winning by six wickets was a good start to the representative season, particularly given the limited build-up they’d had, Charles

said. “It would have been a better day if we had more guys get a bat, but we can’t quibble about that,” he said.

Mid Canterbury will now turn their attention to their next pre-season game, against Canterbury Country in Rangiora this coming weekend.

Charles said with the three Ashburton College players who were in the team for the South Canterbury game unavailable due to playing a game at the Willows

this weekend, there will be a few changes to the Mid Canterbury line-up for that next game. Once that one’s done, Mid Canterbury will have just one more pre-season game before they get their 2019/20 Hawke Cup campaign under way.

They’ll head to Oamaru to play North Otago in a 50-over game on November 24, with their first Hawke Cup game against South Canterbury in Timaru scheduled for the weekend of December 7 and 8.

Youngsters give it a go on the Ashburton fairways
