Tinwald deaths ruled accidental The deaths of an Ashburton mother and her three children have been ruled as accidental.

A coroner’s findings into the deaths of Cindy George and her children, Pio Raukete, 5, Teuruaa, 3, and Telyzshaun George, 2, at a Thompson Street address on July 2, 2015 were issued yesterday.

Coroner Marcus Elliot determined that all four deaths were as a result of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.

“At some point on 27 June 2015, Ms George turned on the engine of the Holden Commodore in the garage to prevent the battery going flat.

“She did not open the exterior garage

door. She left the internal access door slightly ajar. Ms George subsequently forgot that she had left the engine running.

“As a result, carbon monoxide, which is odourless, dispersed into the house through the internal access door, eventually overwhelming Ms George and the children.”

Coroner Elliott said: “Their deaths illustrate the importance of ensuring adequate ventilation and closing internal access doors when a car engine is turned on in a garage which is connected to a house.

“If a car engine is left running in a garage for too long, an open garage door may not of itself provide adequate

Don’t get

ventilation and even a closed internal access door may not prevent carbon monoxide escaping into the house. It would be safer not to run a vehicle in a garage for any longer than is necessary to move it in and out.”

The coroner also noted: “There have been at least three other deaths due to carbon monoxide poisoning resulting from the inhalation of exhaust fumes in a dwelling, although the circumstances were somewhat different in those cases.”

Crash victim ‘one of life’s good people’ An Ashburton man who died in a car accident at the weekend has been described as one of life’s good people.

Twenty-one-year-old David Morgan Muir, of Tinwald, was killed when the vehicle he was a passenger crashed into a fence on the Methven Highway (State Highway 77) during the early hours of Saturday morning.

Since his name was released on Sunday morning by police, tributes have flowed for a talented young man who was taken far too soon.

One friend, who asked the Guardian not to be named, said she would never forget Muir.

“It’s said all the time, but he really was one of life’s good people,” she said.

“Without fail, he could put a smile on your face – no matter how down you might have been feeling.

“He was a great guy and one that plenty of people will miss, but never forget.”

Others took to social media to express their sympathies.

One poster described Muir as the nicest person “they had ever met” while another described him as an “amazing character”.

Muir was employed by the

Ashburton District Council as an apprentice gardener.

A member of the Ashburton District Council staff said it was too soon, and that the situation was too sensitive, for them to make a comment while Muir’s family still came to terms with his death.

They were expected to make a statement later in the week.

The Serious Crash Unit are continuing to investigate the accident and a time for completion of that process is still uncertain.

It is understood that the driver of the vehicle managed to raise the alarm after summoning help from a nearby house.

The 22-year-old was later transported to Ashburton Hospital in a serious condition but had been released from hospital over the weekend.

Until the Serious Crash Unit has completed their investigation it is also unclear whether charges will be laid in relation to the accident.

The site of the accident remained untouched on Monday morning with clear signs of an accident but no indication of a fatality through flowers or tributes.

Guilty plea to hubby’s death A woman has pleaded guilty to manslaughter, more than six years after the death of her husband.

Susan Elizabeth Mouat appeared at the High Court in New Plymouth yesterday, on a charge laid over an incident at the home she shared with her husband Bruce in July 2011.

The 48-year-old died in Wel-

lington Hospital on July 27, 2011, after falling down steps at the couple’s home 11 days earlier and hitting his head on concrete pavers. Police investigated Mouat’s death at the time “on the basis that it may have been a homicide”.

Mouat was remanded on bail to reappear for sentencing on October 13.

Tinwald deaths ruled accidental From P1 Family and friends travelled from the Pacific Islands and Australia to attend a farewell service for George and her children, which followed a private family funeral.

Poko Ngaro, a cousin of George’s, described her, at the

service, as a devoted and loving mother.

He said George had made Ashburton her home since leaving the Cook Islands in 2010.

The deaths rocked the closeknit Cook Islands community in Ashburton and were felt across New Zealand.

George had five children. The younger three lived with her and the other two were understood to be living in the Cook Islands with family.

It was further understood that George was separated from the children’s father, who also lived in Ashburton.

■ HIKOI

March to Christchurch ‘empowering, inspiring’

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Blisters, driving rain and three long, cold days walking were no match for the Canterbury advocates who successfully marched from Ashburton to Christchurch at the weekend.

The 90km hikoi was organised by the NZ Public Service Association, along with the Aotearoa New Zealand Association of Social Workers, to stand up against New Zealand’s poverty, homelessness and inequality.

A group of 11 walkers set off from Ashburton Domain on Friday, and by Hornby had expanded to a group of 76.

PSA organiser Jayne MacFarlane said they successfully reached their final destination of Cathedral Square ahead of schedule, and with energy left to dance, rally and make sure their message was heard.

“We were amazed at the support of the community along the way” she said.

We had so many toots of support and we were kept safe by drivers who slowed down and looked out for us.

She said they received koha from a passing courier driver, and so many food offerings that they were able to donate a food parcel to the Salvation Army in Rolleston.

The group put on an impromptu speech to a crowded pub in Rakaia, and met with Yes We Care members to rally in Cathedral Square at the end of their journey.

NZTA provided pilot vehicles and drivers for their route along State Highway 1.

“It felt good to be seen and heard,” MacFarlane said.

“What came to light is that people really are experiencing increasing levels of deprivation, seeing a lack of resources where it matters.”

The group hope their message will resonate ahead of the general election.

“We’re sensing a lot of people really exercising their right to vote this year, wanting to use it to make a real difference to the inequality,” MacFarlane said.

Despite feeling sore and tired, the group said they were empowered and inspired by the experience.

Eleven advocates marching out of Ashburton on Friday to stand up against inequality. By the time they successfully made it to Hornby on Sunday, the group had grown to 76.

Scooter perspective for councillors

By Matt MarKhaM

Matt.M@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton District councillors got a different perspective of the Ashburton CBD yesterday as they took to the streets on mobility scooters.

Six councillors and Ashburton mayor, Donna Favel, spent time riding around the centre of Ashburton to gain a better understanding of the everyday issues that those who regularly use mobility scooters and wheelchairs face when in town.

“It was a really enlightening experience,” Favel said.

“And we certainly became

“

We gained a much better understanding of some of these issues that are faced by people every day

aware of a number of issues that people who use mobility scooters around town are met with.

“Even some simple things such as advertising signage out-

side shops on the main streets are an issue and access to some of our more popular businesses.”

Favel attended a Total Mobil-

ity Workshop a few weeks back and the idea to put herself and some of her councillors out in the public eye on scooters was borne from that workshop.

Total Mobility is an organisation which assists people who use mobility scooters and wheelchairs but have this year had some of their Environment Canterbury funding cut – a loss of nearly $38,000.

“That’s a significant portion of what they receive each year so it was really disappointing to hear that news,” Favel said.

Her decision to promote awareness came from the work-

shop and she was joined yesterday by Diane Rawlinson, Selwyn Price and Alasdair Urquhart in the first group before Lynette Lovett, Mark Malcolm and Peter Reveley took on the second shift.

The two groups worked their way around the centre of Ashburton, including using the rail overbridge between East and West Streets and identified issues around the McDonald’s and Mitre 10 intersection.

“We gained a much better understanding of some of these issues that are faced by people every day.”

■ TINWALD STREETS

In brief

Driver’s behaviour infuriates

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

It’s blue, it’s a Subaru, it comes and goes in a flash – and it’s infuriating residents in the Tinwald township and beyond.

A number of residents have reported seeing a “shiny, cobalt blue Subaru with a spoiler” speeding down Thompson Street and other surrounding streets, doing burnouts and cutting corners, particularly from 12.30 to 2am.

Now they say they are fed up with the loud, dangerous driv-

ing, and want something to be done before it’s too late.

“They just need to stop with it,” said one Tinwald resident, who wished to stay anonymous.

She had witnessed a “young guy and girl” behind the wheel, and said neighbours were right to feel “fed up” with the behaviour.

“The main issue is the dangers it can cause … so much more can go wrong.”

Greer Parlane of Tinwald took to Facebook after seeing a blue Subaru speeding treacherously

past her son’s school bus in Tinwald during the day.

“It’s so unsafe,” she said.

“It’s beyond a joke now.”

She said cars doing burnouts was a big issue around her street, but they always proved too fast to catch.

“By the time my partner gets outside they are gone.”

A number of other Tinwald residents had also reported hearing or seeing the blue Subaru in the middle of the night. Eight expressed their concerns on Facebook after seeing Parlane’s story.

“It’s only a matter of time before something serious happens,” one said.

Other commenters also recounted seeing speeding blue Subarus around other Ashburton streets, schools and intersections during the day, though it’s not known if it’s the same one.

“There might be more than one blue Subaru, I’m not sure, all I want is for it to stop,” said another resident.

It is understood that the car and its antics have been reported to police.

The number of net migrants coming into the country since 2001 has been underestimated by nearly 60,000, Statistics New Zealand says. The government’s statistics department has confirmed a new measure to more closely check patterns of migration has revealed a problem in the older method.

Last year a measure was brought in to track actual travel histories, whereas previous stats were based on what people said they would do on their arrival cards. While the card-based system showed 300,000 extra people had moved to New Zealand since 2001, the real figure was probably about 59,000 – or nearly 20 per cent – higher, Stats NZ has confirmed.

Youth worker jailed

■ OPERATION HOTOKE

Police wrap up operation on the ski slopes

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Police and the New Zealand Transport Agency have wrapped up a combined campaign which honed in on the country’s alpine roads and ski areas.

Operation Hotoke kicked off last week to raise awareness of the risks of winter driving and promote safe journeys up and down the mountains.

Police were stationed at areas like Mt Hutt and other skifield feeder roads, working to check equipment, give out ice scrapers and encourage well-planned winter travels.

Road Policing Operations Manager Pete McKennie said it was a “fantastic opportunity” to engage with drivers and highlight the risks.

“Most people were making really good road safety decisions,” he said.

He said the majority of drivers were taking fatigue and changing conditions into account before setting off on their journeys, but two other areas of concern had emerged during the operation.

“The most concerning thing was the number of people having

A Hamilton church youth worker has been jailed for 22 months for having sex with a 13-year-old girl.

In the Hamilton District Court yesterday, Judge Robert Spear said although he could have considered home detention for Damien Larry Thomas Peden, jail was the only way to send a strong deterrent message to others for having sex with young girls. In May, Peden, now aged 24, admitted two charges of having sexual conduct with a person under 16.

Marae help family of 11 get home, job The South Auckland family of 11 who felt like a failure after becoming homeless have now been given hope – in the shape of a sixbedroom house and a job.

The couple and their nine children sheltered at Te Puea Marae who offered wrap around services and have been instrumental in getting them back up on their feet.

The Pasifika couple, who did not want to be identified, were forced to move out of their Mangere rental three months ago when the landlord decided to renovate the uninsulated and dated property.

The family have since been given a six-bedroom home through Housing New Zealand in Mangere that they will move into on September 19. Marae chairman Hurimoana Dennis described the big house as being as “like finding gold in the pacific ocean” as large homes were hard to come by.

Additionally Fletcher Challenge have come on board to support the father with his work and extra training around carpentry.

“We have a house now. Lucky us. Finally we get a house,” the mother said.

“We feel so happy and we look forward to living there with our kids.”

Dennis said this was a great example of what happens when Te

Hurimoana Dennis, chairman of Te Puea Marae, said getting the family a home and a job was the result of social services and the private sector working together.

Puea, the private sector and social agencies work together.

“We can actually put people into their own homes and re-plug them into their communities and remain behind them until they

are ready to fly on their own.

“We are talking about whanau, who want to own their mistakes and just get on with their lives, but over time things just became unaffordable.”

Te Puea held a private sector hui on August 23 and have now partnered with organisations such as PWC, KPMG, EY, Vodafone, Auckland Airport, Fletcher Challenge, Sky-City, Update Skills Group,

Hauraki Piling LTD, Humphreys Accounting, Countdown and The Warehouse.

Dennis was excited as the new relationships would be able to deliver exactly what families needed – whether that be a home, furnishings, vehicles, food, job opportunities or mentoring.

“This is going straight to the front door of these homeless families, they [private organisations] are not going to get any closer than that.”

The cold, uninsulated five-bedroom house the family rented had made their children, aged 1 to 15, sick – two were diagnosed with strep throat after arriving at the marae.

Their emotional mother told the Herald she felt like she was failing her family.

“My family is unhealthy,” she said. “They always ask me, why are we staying around, why we didn’t find a house.

“I feel sad for myself and my husband because I know that’s my job and my husband’s to find a house for my family.”

She added: “I think I try my best with my husband to make my family a better life, but at the moment we struggle with their school, struggle with their health and we struggle with our life.”

■ PALMERSTON NORTH

Armed police hunt man following car chase, crash Police in Palmerston North are still hunting for a man who fled after a police chase ended in a car crash yesterday.

Armed police cordons were in place for several hours after the car crashed into a fence on Mahoe Avenue around 12.50pm.

An eyewitness said the drama began when police attempted to to pull over a grey Subaru station wagon.

“I saw the Subaru travel down Wood Street with a police car fol-

lowing it,” he said.

“The car crossed the centre line on Wood Street, went around the corner of Mahoe Avenue and hit the kerb before slamming into a fence.

“The male driver got out of the car and ran towards Exeter Crescent, and a police dog handler got out of the police car and went in pursuit.

The witness said a young woman then “crawled out of the back of the car” and attempted to act

as a bystander.

“I called police and they came and arrested her.”

The front windscreen of the car was smashed and there was also damage to both sides of the vehicle.

Police confirmed a woman had remained near the car and had been arrested. Two men had run from the crash through properties on Mahoe Avenue.

Cordons were set up around Kowhai Avenue, Featherston

Street, Karamu Avenue and Mahoe Avenue, and residents were told to stay indoors.

Senior Sergeant Steven Crawford said armed police cordons were set up because “it was believed one of the occupants that fled may have been in possession of a firearm”.

“A firearm and ammunition were later recovered from the vehicle.”

Police officers could be seen searching homes and dogs had

The woman and one of the men have now been arrested but the second man is still on the run, police said.

N Korea warned of massive response North Korea has conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test, which it says is was of an advanced hydrogen bomb for a long-range missile, prompting the threat of a “massive” military response from the US if it or its allies are threatened.

Speaking outside the White House after meeting with President Donald Trump and his national security team, US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Trump asked to be briefed on all available military options.

“Any threat to the United States or its territories, including Guam or our allies will be met with a massive military response, a response both effective and overwhelming,” Mattis said.

“We are not looking to the total annihilation of a country, namely North Korea,” Mattis said with Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at his side. “But as I said, we have many options to do so.”

Trump earlier refused to rule out military action and threatened to cut off trade with any country doing business with Pyongyang.

Asked whether the US would attack North Korea, Trump replied: “We’ll see”.

The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to meet to discuss the nuclear test. Mattis said the members of the council “remain unanimous in their commitment to denuclearisation of the Korean

Princess Mako to wed Princess Mako, the eldest granddaughter of Japanese Emperor Akihito, will wed a former classmate, the Imperial Household says. The marriage will further deplete the royal family since female members of the Japanese imperial family have to give up their royal status if they marry non-royals. Mako, 25, is one of only four royal grandchildren. The other three are her younger sister, Kako, her brother, Hisahito, and Crown Prince Naruhito’s daughter, Aiko. The shrinking royal population has raised concerns that the prince may also be the last.

In a series of early morning tweets, the president also appeared to rebuke ally South Korea, which faces an existential threat from North Korea’s nuclear programme.

“South Korea is finding, as I have told them, that their talk of appeasement with North Korea will not work, they only understand one thing!” Trump said in a tweet.

Trump appeared to be blaming South Korea for a policy it

abandoned years ago of trying to soften North Korea’s posture through economic aid.

Reports that the United States is considering pulling out of its trade deal with South Korea has also ratcheted up tensions with the country.

A former senior State Department official criticised Trump for accusing South Korea of appeasement.

“It was unseemly, unhelpful, and divisive to gratuitously slap our major ally at the very

moment when the threat from (North Korea) has reached a new height,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

North Korea said on state television that the hydrogen bomb test ordered by leader Kim Jong Un had been a “perfect success.”

The bomb was designed to be mounted on its newly developed intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, the North said.

Houston braces for more flooding Authorities carried out a controlled burn yesterday at a chemical plant damaged by Harvey, sending small flames and grey smoke into the sky, after saying the highly unstable compounds that had caused previous explosions needed to be neutralised.

Small flames burning in charred structures were seen, with a limited amount of the smoke, from the Arkema plant in Crosby, outside Houston.

Sam Mannan, a chemical safety expert at Texas A&M University, said the grey smoke indicated a more complete burn with fewer harmful chemicals remaining. Later, officials said all fires at the plant were out.

Officials said the “proactive measures” to ignite six remaining trailers didn’t pose additional risks to the community. People living within three kilometres of the site are still

But the on-the-ground reality varied by place.

Utility crews went door-todoor shutting off power and warning those still in some waterlogged homes in western parts of the city that still more flooding could be heading their way – not from rain but from releases of water in overtaxed reservoirs. Thousands of Houston dwellings were under new, mandatory evacuation orders, though about 300 people were thought to be refusing to leave.

Teacher shortage needs to be turned around Matt Markham

EDITOR

T

he role of teacher is one of the most critical in the life of any young person.

It’s a teacher who can help a child realise their full potential and a teacher who can get across a message from the outset of the value, or importance of a subject and help guide their pupils in the right direction.

Yet it would appear New Zealand isn’t valuing its teachers enough.

Comments in yesterday’s Guardian from both Ashburton College principal, Ross Preece and Mount Hutt College’s John Schreurs should have set off a few alarm bells, as both agreed that the staffing gaps need to be plugged, and plugged quick – but where those stop-gaps are going to come from is a great mystery.

Preece was highly critical of the government for their nonchalant approach to the problem, saying they were dismissive of the fact there is a real teaching shortage, instead describing it as a seasonal blip.

What makes it even harder for our schools however is that despite the current state of affairs there is a constant stream of new curriculum initiatives and plans being put in place, but nothing is being done about ensuring the staffing levels are capable of handling the new load.

So, we need to start making some changes. Teaching needs to become more appealing to those looking for a career.

If that means pumping more money into the qualifying stages of becoming a teacher then so be it.

It shouldn’t even be a conversation that needs to be had.

Instead we see a real focus on digital technology and second languages – two things that are of course important, but niche markets that will only appeal to a small number.

Perhaps it would be timely for one of our campaigning political parties to make a stand against the shortage and announce they are going to focus on growing our number of teachers across the board and therefore ensuring that our children and our children’s children get the quality education that they deserve from this country.

Biosecurity overlooked in major pre-election pledges T

hus far we have been privy to a lively election campaign.

The welfare admission, overpaid pension issues and debates around Labour’s proposed capital gains tax, tourist tax and the heavily criticised water tax or royalty.

These issues and debates have become fodder for the media and wider population while closer to home more important issues are beginning to come to the fore.

Since late July, the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) has been investigating the detection of mycoplasma bovis on a South Canterbury dairy farm.

Mycoplasma bovis is a bacterium that has never been identified in New Zealand and causes illness in cattle (including mastitis, abortion, pneumonia and arthritis).

Fortunately, while mycoplasma bovis is not spread by wind or water, it is a silent spreader as the disease spreads between cows who are in close contact with each other and cows may be infected but not ill with the disease.

Guy Wigley

FROM THE FARM

Originally the detection was limited to three dairy farms in South Canterbury, but MPI’s tracing has identified three further infected properties in Canterbury.

They suspect this number will increase as testing and further tracing is undertaken.

Confirmation of a positive result is time consuming and involves multiple tests over a period before it can be confirmed.

I understand the growing frustration amongst the farming community on multiple levels.

How it came into New Zealand may never be answered and I understand the reasons why farmers want to know what farms are confirmed positive, it is not about secrecy but about protecting farmers and their businesses from unnecessary and unhelpful publicity.

There are some simple steps that farmers can undertake to reduce the risk of the disease on their properties.

Keep NAIT movements up to date and accurate, have a greater understanding of the health status of any cows or bulls brought onto the property.

Having a greater awareness of your on-farm biosecurity is one of the easiest ways to reduce the risk associated with unintentionally spreading any pest, weeds or diseases.

FAR, Beef + Lamb and DairyNZ have guidance on the best ways to improve your on-farm biosecurity.

This is the latest biosecurity incursion to strike the primary industries over the past 18 months, with the velvetleaf incursion, pea weevil incursion and blackgrass incursion.

Federated Farmers has been and continues to be involved in all of these responses.

We have representatives on technical committees, Governance Groups and stakeholder groups.

Participation in these groups provides Federated Farmers with

the opportunity to influence some of MPI’s decision-making.

It ensures that any decisions made will provide farmers with the right outcomes and the best opportunity to eradicate the disease, before it gets an opportunity to establish in New Zealand.

While the debate is currently around the water tax or royalty, political parties should be making a greater commitment to protecting our borders.

In the recently released Federated Farmers election manifesto, we called for all political parties to commit to ensuring that Government allocates the resources needed to develop, maintain and enforce a world class biosecurity system.

■ REAL ESTATE

Property market ever-changing Property chains are falling over because people are not selling their houses in time or getting enough from the sale of their property to meet offer conditions, says the boss of a mortgage broking firm.

Mark Collins, chief executive of Mike Pero Mortgages, said the last time he saw property chains falling over was in 2008/09, in the wake of the global financial crisis.

Property chains occur when a person makes their offer conditional on the sale of their property or on the condition of getting a certain amount for selling their home.

This can result in three or four deals being dependent on the preceding sales coming through.

Collins said he knew of a recent attempted apartment sale where the vendor received four offers but they all fell over because the potential buyers could not sell their own houses or get as much for them as expected.

“It just takes one not to sell for the value they thought [they

they are being turned down or need to show they can pay it back by using KiwiSaver or downsizing.”

Collins said there had been a change in view from buyers in Auckland from “I have got to just get on the ladder” to “I can wait”.

People were also putting in cheekier offers, he said.

In recent years offers have been expected to be the capital value (CV) plus $30,000 or $40,000 more.

But now some were offering just $5000 over the CV. Collins said building inspectors were also seeing much lower demand for their reports.

At the peak 30 people might want an inspection done on a house – now they may only get one or two people.

He said buyers didn’t want to get an inspection until they were sure they were going to buy now.

The change was opening up opportunities for cash buyers and first home buyers who didn’t have to sell first, he said.

were going to get].”

He said people tended to ask the bank how much they could borrow, not how much they should borrow, and then go out and shop.

“So the minute you don’t get your number you have got a challenge.”

Collins said that meant it was getting tougher for those looking to upgrade their home.

He said part of the challenge was banks constantly changing how much they were prepared to lend.

“It depends on the week – it is a week-to-week thing.

“Normally we would get changes once every six months.

Now one bank is changing something every week.”

He said that could be their rates, serviceability criteria or their take on responsible lending.

Collins said one example was more over-55s being turned down for loans.

“If the lending is going to be significant over the age of 65

It’s seven years since the magnitude 7.1 earthquake hit Christchurch and the ramifications go on.

There was no loss of life and few injuries because the quake happened at 4.35am but it caused a lot of damage. The 6.3 quake that killed 185 was to follow the following February.

On Friday Shine Lawyers filed a suit for 47 unresolved quake insurance claims and at least one family protested outside an insurer’s office in Christchurch yesterday, the seventh anniversary of the first quake.

“At Shine Lawyers we are right-

ing wrongs in bulk this week, and getting more of our clients closer to ending their nightmare,” the law firm said.

Some of the issues residents still have are to do with the quality of the repairs.

During the election campaign Labour has promised to set up an arbitration tribunal to resolve outstanding claims. The Insurance Council has strongly rejected the idea.

Labour also promises a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Earthquake Commission and to rebuild the relationship between

the city and central government.

The National Party says governments led by it have invested more than $14 billion into Canterbury since the earthquakes, with a further $3.5 billion committed through to 2021.

“We are already seeing strong signs of progress through increased tourism, economic activity and housing affordability in the region.

“To keep things on track, we need a stable government and a strong economy,” National says.

Still, for some it’s been seven long years.

“Government procurement shouldn’t be used to protect local companies from international competition, but to give them the opportunity to become bigger and more internationally competitive.”

■ SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME

Scholarship to support greenhouse gas research A new $400,000 scholarship programme to build global expertise on climate change, agriculture and food security will boost New Zealand’s contribution to agricultural greenhouse gas research say Climate Change Minister Paula Bennett and Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy. The scholarship, announced at the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA) Council meeting in Tsukuba, Japan, last week, is a joint initiative of the GRA and the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research.

“Finding new ways to reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions is crucial to meeting our ambitious 2030 Paris Agreement targets. This scholarship builds on the $20 million a year we already invest in agricultural emissions,” Bennett said.

“Our farmers care deeply about our environment and we have some of the best environmental farming practices in the world,” Guy said.

“Given a growing global population, it’s in everybody’s interest that we are successful in producing food more efficiently and sustainably. We need all major food producers and the international scientific community to be fully involved.

“Using science and research is a far more sensible approach for tackling agricultural emissions than that of Labour and Greens who would punish farmers and growers by including them in the ETS. This would add a cost that no other country imposes, and ironically mean that consumers buy more products from overseas farmers who are not as environmentally efficient as us.”

New Zealand funding support will enable up to 40 recipients to be hosted in research centres of GRA partners and member countries over the next three years.

New Zealand has been a long standing donor of the CGIAR, most recently committing a further $11 million over two years to its network of research institutes around the world.

MARKET REPORT Dairy More rain at the weekend filled heavy soils back up again and the cooler temperatures slowed grass growth.

However, Canterbury pasture growth rates are predicted to move into the 20/ kg/ha day levels by the end of the week as spring changes to warmer windy weather.

As more cows are now being milked and the end of the first rotation comes into focus, managers will need to carefully budget feed resources to ensure spring milk peak is maximised.

The mycoplasma bovis outbreak has spread to North Canterbury and now exists on six farms, although officials report that eradication of this disease is still firmly the goal.

Fresh milk sales are being made through the Alibaba platform into China as Green Valley Dairy is freighting bottles via China Eastern Airlines.

Environment Canterbury reported that dairy conversions are now at a 10-year low and many believe peak cow numbers have now been reached.

After a three-week spell, this week’s milk auction will be followed with much interest to see if prices can be maintained and the momentum carried further into the new season.

Lamb Export lamb schedules keep on rising, helped by an easing currency, a shortage of supply and low stocks on hand.

Negotiations are under way for price and volumes for the Christmas trade into the UK and Europe and, with smaller volumes to deal with, exporters have been successful in diversifying into more profitable markets.

The main flock is now due to start lambing and scanning reports suggest plenty of lambs are due to arrive.

Southern local trade lamb is now paying $7/kg cwt and saleyard prime lambs averaged $156/hd at Canterbury venues last week.

One processor reports optimism that there will be strong demand for wool skin rugs at the Shanghai Leather Fair but is less confident about demand for fellmongery grade skins.

Wool Last week’s South Island auction saw increased demand and prices for some outstanding lines of pre-lamb shorn wool.

In an offering of over 11,000 bales, crossbred fleece of all microns and lengths achieved strong price lifts and the passings were the lowest seen for several months.

The easing currency is helping some of the recovery but future demand for the coarser end of the crossbred crop is an issue the sector still needs to address.

Beef Export prices again eased for manufacturing and bull beef product on the back of lower demand due to the US herd rebuild.

Prime beef prices moved up last week helped by an easing US/NZ currency and low volumes offered to harvest.

Demand for beef into China is growing and exporters are hoping for growth here after closure of Japanese markets due to duty increases making that market uneconomic.

Deer Further lifts in spring venison schedules as the European chilled sales have now been finalised up until mid-November, at prices well ahead of last year.

Exporters are optimistic about future prospects for venison to an array of market destinations as the industry now endeavours to breed up to meet this renewed demand.

Research results are now coming through, confirming the wisdom of investing in sires of proven genetic merit with high growth rate traits for venison.

■ RURAL BROADBAND

Cellphone collaboration on horizon

BY COLIN WILLISCROFT

COLIN.W@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

It remains to be seen whether Mid Canterbury will see any real benefit out of last week’s rural broadband announcements by the Government, particularly when it comes to mobile phone black spots.

But there may be a light at the end of the tunnel for some areas.

The Government last week said it planned to spend $270 million nationwide to improve mobile phone coverage in isolated areas and improve internet connection speeds for rural New Zealand.

However, when it came to plugging mobile phone black spots in Mid Canterbury, the only areas to benefit from the latest announcement will be the tourist areas of Lake Heron and Lake Clearwater, and Mount Potts and Mount Sunday.

Federated Farmers Mid Canterbury president Mike Salvesen, while disappointed tourists were being pri-

oritised over farmers who had to live with poor coverage on a daily basis, was philosophical.

He had not heard of significant changes on the horizon so did not expect any.

What Salvesen did want to see, and what has moved a step closer, is mobile phone companies collaborating in terms of cellphone towers to improve coverage in isolated areas.

As part of the latest announcement it was revealed that Crown Fibre Holdings had entered into contracts with the Rural Connectivity Group (Spark, Vodafone and 2 degrees) and a number of wireless internet service providers, including Ultimate Broadband, which covers Mid Canterbury.

The three telecommunications operators have between them committed to funding new towers to provide coverage for a further 31,000 households and businesses, 13 tourist locations and up to 148 kilometres of state highways, with no funding from gov-

ernment. A Vodafone spokeswoman said getting more connectivity out in rural areas can be a tough problem to solve for any one internet service provider, because of the low population density and vast, rugged areas of land to cover.

She said the first two stages of the government’s Rural Broadband Initiative were designed to help overcome these challenges through industry and government collaboration and co-investment, adding that by working together Spark, Vodafone and 2 degrees planned to build a minimum of 400 new towers across rural New Zealand.

“They will use infrastructure sharing technology to get coverage as far as it can go, while still being able to compete at the retail level,” she said.

Where these towers will be built was still being worked through, although a Spark spokeswoman said it was hoped more information would be available in a couple of weeks.

■ EDUBITS

Primary sector launches new credentials service Primary ITO has teamed up with Otago Polytechnic to develop of EduBits, a new micro-credential service that was launched in Wellington recently.

Linda Sissons, Primary ITO chief executive, said EduBits would let people “show what they know” by having their expertise independently validated.

People submit evidence of their skills, as required by each EduBit, which is then assessed and recognised with a digital certificate.

These certificates, sometimes

called badges, can then be shared on social media sites or online CVs and, most importantly, with employers.

Sissons said they were a great way for people to gain recognition of their skills as they can be completed at any time, without the need to take time off work. “We know how busy life is in orchards, in packhouses and on farms.

These small credentials provide a just-in-time validation of increasingly advanced skills and on-job learning.”

Working closely with industry bodies like DairyNZ and the Horticulture Capability Group, and alongside 14 industry partnership groups, Primary ITO will initially focus on sought-after technologies and advanced management skills.

At the same time, the groups will work together to explore the ability of micro-credentialling to recognise other types of learning. This could include learning honed in customary settings or informally through, for example,

the management contributions of women to family businesses, or by farmers at extension sessions.

There are a range of EduBits currently available to fit the needs of people working in the primary sector, including agribusiness planning and budgeting, and assisting with dairy calf rearing. These, and all EduBits, are evaluated by Otago Polytechnic’s qualified and expert assessors, sometimes in collaboration with industry partners like Primary ITO.

Celebrating fathers in history

By Kathleen Stringer

B

y the time you read this Father’s Day will have come and gone for another year.

Some may have celebrated it in style with gifts and a card, while others may have ignored it.

As some may have guessed, the celebration of fathers and father figures began in America.

However it is not, as many assume, a modern idea generated by retailers.

Father’s Day was suggested by Sonora Smart-Dodd in 1910. Her father, William Jackson Smart, was a farmer and fought in the American Civil War. He was married twice, twice widowed, and with the help of his only daughter cared for his 13 children (including three stepchildren). He is quoted as saying “We are a family of steps, halves and wholes”.

In 1972 the Americans declared Father’s Day a national holiday, and they observe it on June 19, but here in New Zealand we celebrate it on the first Sunday in September.

While fathers today play a large part in the bringing-up of their children, in the past fathers were often a shadowy figure, working long hours to provide for their family.

For that reason, Ashburton Museum sadly does not have as many images of fathers with their children as it does of children with mothers. However, we hope you enjoy this selection of ones we have located.

Above - Dr Boyd with his family. Dr Boyd was a doctor in Ashburton from 1901 until about 1906. Although the family did not stay here long, both Dr and Mrs Boyd were popular and well known for their kindheartedness. One of the children in the wheelbarrow is his daughter Julia, who also became a doctor.

Below - Early Ashburton resident John Hunt his great grandchildren, Julie Crawford and Neville Childs.

Having a son can mean someone to share your passions. Here patriarch John Hefford sits proudly in front of his sons Henry, William and George, all members of the Ashburton Guards volunteer unit.

Mr William Martin with his daughter, Mrs Thomas Blackburn, granddaughter Mrs E Atkinson and Miss T Hayes.

Sadly unknown, this family group is one of our collection’s earlier images. It was brought out to New Zealand (if the trews are any indication, from Scotland) in 1862.

The darkness of the image is due to it being not on paper, but tin. These images were common during the 1850s and 1860s.

Another sad image from the collection is this image of well-loved local Dr Trevor with his daughter, Mildred. The widowed doctor remarried and in his twilight years was presented with this little girl. Naturally, her father adored her, and was devastated when she died, aged four-and-ahalf.

Honouring the Fallen During the period of World War One, 1914 to 1915, many men from the Ashburton District signed up to fight for the Empire against the German army. Many did not return — almost 450 from Ashburton were killed. The first Ashburton men were killed on April 25, 1915 — the first Anzac Day. Ashburton philanthropist and patriot Frederick Ferriman presented a special flag and a flagpole to the families of those men. The Ashburton Museum with the assistance of the Rotary Club of Ashburton, has erected in front of the Museum one of the original Ferriman flagpoles, and on the centennial of the death of each Ashburton soldier will fly a replica flag. An original flag is on display in the museum. This week the Ashburton Museum honours: September 7: Peter William DOIG September 11: George Kent RICHARDSON

■ TENNIS

Sharapova out of Open Maybe this was just one threesetter too many for Maria Sharapova.

Sharapova tried a bit of everything, even resorting to switching over her racket to hit a few lefty shots.

Still, the five-time major champion could not quite keep her Grand Slam comeback from a doping suspension going, losing in the fourth round of the US Open to 16th-seeded Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 yesterday.

“Look, three-set matches are challenging. I love being part of them.

“There’s an element of concentration, focus, physicality that goes into all of it. And you have to put it all together.

“Yeah, you just have to get through it,” Sharapova said.

“There’s no doubt that not playing those matches certainly cost me today. I did feel like I was thinking a little bit too much and not playing by instinct.”

This was the third time in her four matches that Sharapova went the distance and she faded down the stretch, while also dealing with a blister on her right hand that was treated and taped by a trainer in the final set.

Sharapova’s miscues kept closing exchanges, and she dropped 13 of the first 14 points in that set.

The 30-year-old Russian finished with 51 unforced errors, compared to 14 for Sevastova.

“It’s been a really great ride,” Sharapova said.

“Ultimately, I can take a lot from this week,” she continued.

“It’s great to get that major out of the way. It was an incredible opportunity. I’m very thankful for the opportunity.”

Sharapova’s exit leaves Venus Williams as the only past US Open champion in the women’s field.

The 37-year-old Williams, who won the title in 2000 and 2001, got to the quarter-finals by beating Carla Suarez Navarro 6-3, 3-6, 6-1.

Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia seems reasonably happy with her win over five-time major champion Maria Sharapova yesterday.

Sharapova hadn’t played in a major tournament since the Australian Open in January 2016, when she tested positive for the newly banned drug meldonium.

She served a 15-month ban for that, returning to the tour this April with a ranking too low to get into Grand Slam events.

The French Open denied her

a wild-card invitation, then she planned to try to qualify for Wimbledon before pulling out because of an injured left leg.

But she was able to enter the US Open thanks to a wild card from the US Tennis Association, which then proceeded to put its 2006 champion in Arthur Ashe Stadium every time she played

over the past week, drawing strong support from spectators – and criticism from another former No. 1-ranked woman, Caroline Wozniacki.

This time, Sevastova made Sharapova run a lot by pulling her forward with drop shots or tight angles, then would often deposit follow-up strokes into open spaces.

On one point won by Sharapova in the second set, she twice tracked down lobs that she got back over the net by hitting the ball left-handed.

But she could not sustain enough strong play, and Sevastova reached the US Open quarterfinals for the second consecutive year.

“I allowed the match to become physical,” Sharapova said about the late-going.

“I don’t think I played as aggressive or was stepping in as much as I did in the first set.”

Sevastova will face unseeded American Sloane Stephens, who reached her first quarter-final in New York by eliminating No. 30 Julia Goerges 6-3, 3-6, 6-1.

Stephens has won 12 of her past 14 matches, a remarkable run for someone who was off the tour for 11 months because of foot surgery in January.

Earlier yesterday, 18-year-old Canadian Denis Shapovalov’s entertaining stay ended with a 7-6 (2), 7-6 (4), 7-6 (3) loss to 12thseeded Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain.

In the quarters, Carreno Busta will play No. 29 Diego Schwartzman of Argentina.

Shapovalov was trying to become the youngest male quarterfinalist at Flushing Meadows since Andre Agassi in 1988, but he wasted a 5-2 lead and three set points in the opener, and finished with 55 unforced errors.

“Honestly, it was so much fun to be part of that atmosphere and the match and this whole two weeks,” Shapovalov said.

“You know, it’s another lifechanging event for me.”

■ SWIMMING

Crotty in superb form – in the pool

By Gordon Findlater Another Crotty is helping to stock the family trophy cabinet, this time in masters swimming.

Robyn Crotty, the mother of All Black Ryan Crotty, has returned home from Europe with a haul of medals and a new world championship record.

Crotty, 56, competed at the FINA World Masters Championships held in Budapest, Hungary, and arrived home with a gold, three silvers and a bronze medal.

The highlight of the championships came in the 55-59 200m butterfly.

Crotty’s time of 2min 44.22sec

was not only good enough for gold, but was also a new championship record.

It was her second time competing at the championships after they were held in Christchurch in 2002.

There she competed in the 4044 age category and it appears age is not slowing her down.

“I swam faster in Hungary than I did back then.

“I’m now training better and smarter,” said Crotty.

Travelling with husband Steve, the pair were in Budapest for the All Blacks first Bledisloe Cup victory, which their son Ryan played a starring role in.

Robyn Crotty “Steve found a bar over there that was showing the game.

“He came to watch me swim and then as soon as I finished he jumped in a taxi and got himself to the bar,” said Crotty.

Crotty has a strong background in the pool.

Previously representing New Zealand in water polo.

In April she competed at the World Masters Games held in Auckland where she broke three New Zealand records and claimed four golds and a silver medal.

She is also a competitive bodybuilder and competed at the Natural Olympia championship in Las Vegas last year alongside her daughter, Shea.

In brief Bronze for Kiwi duo New Zealand snowboarders Zoi Sadowski-Synnott and Carlos Garcia Knight have shown their Olympic medal credentials by both claiming bronze at their home Winter Games. The pair lined up in strong fields in yesterday’s slopestyle finals at Cardrona, with 16-year-old Sadowski-Synnott scoring 74.76 on her second run in the women’s event. Knight, 20, qualified second in his heat on Sunday and laid down 84.58 to be just one point behind gold medal winner Marcus Kleveland of Norway in the final.

Mundine no priority Jeff Horn’s trainer Glenn Rushton won’t say no to Anthony Mundine, but admits he isn’t at the top of the world champion’s boxing wish list. Horn’s rematch with Manny Pacquiao fell through last Friday, with the WBO welterweight champion now searching for a replacement to fight in Brisbane later this year. The 42-year-old Mundine has thrown his hat in the ring, but Rushton is hopeful of securing former world champions Jessie Vargas or Lamont Peterson for a November title defence before the week is out.

Musa set to feature Three years after his first All Whites cap, US-based midfielder James Musa could earn two more within five days. The 25-year-old Musa – a recent Sporting Kansas City recruit – got off the bench in Friday’s 6-1 first-leg demolition of the Solomon Islands, distributing the ball elegantly at the base of the Kiwi midfield. With the World Cup qualifying tie all but wrapped up and Mike McGlinchey one booking from a suspension, Musa is likely to play again in Honiara today.

Belgium in World Cup France wasted their chance to move a step closer to FIFA World Cup qualification after a scoreless home draw with Luxembourg that leaves automatic qualification from Group A wide open with two games to go. Belgium overcame stern resistance from Greece to qualify for Russia 2018, winning 2-1 away from home. Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku’s winning goal put the other Red Devils out of reach at the top of Group H. - DPA

Socceroos under fire Ever the optimist, Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou believes his under-fire side has the arsenal to reach Russia by knocking Thailand for six in their World Cup qualifier today. The Socceroos need to win – and by a healthy margin – in their final group match to maximise hopes of a fourth-straight appearance at the World Cup. Anything less and Australia is likely to confront tricky home-and-away playoffs to book their place at the 2018 tournament. Given twolegged heartbreaks of the past and the task at hand, there’s plenty of concern ahead of the AAMI Park showdown. Postecoglou is unfazed. The headstrong national team coach is bullish on Australia’s chances of direct progression, declaring the Socceroos would “qualify on Tuesday”.

Loss a heartbreaker

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

The Ashburton College Junior Girls’ Basketball side has suffered a heartbreaking semi-final loss on the penultimate day of the Junior Zone 4 Premiership Tournament being held in Ashburton.

Facing off against Kavanagh College, the side trailed 23-24 at the halftime mark, while a slow

start to the third quarter proved costly for the side.

It took nearly five minutes for the side to register their first points of the quarter, and only a late quarter rush saw them trailing by five points 34-39.

AshColl were able to chip away at the lead, eventually tying up the game with just under 20 seconds left on the clock.

Kavanagh were able to make one of two free-throws to lead by one point, before AshColl lost possession on the final play and were forced into fouling, all but sealing the game.

The side will now play off for third and fourth against Timaru Girls’ High School today at 5.45pm.

In the boys’ competition, Ash-

burton College and Mount Hutt College clashed in their final game of pool play, with Ashburton College taking out a narrow 51-49 point victory.

AshColl was up to play Cashmere in the last game of the night to decide placings heading in to the final day today, while Mount Hutt will face Dunstan High School.

Rossi used a stroke of good fortune to win the IndyCar Grand Prix at The Glen from the pole, leading just over half of the 60lap race and easily holding off four-time series champion Kiwi Scott Dixon over the closing laps at Watkins Glen International for his second career victory.

His first one came last year in the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500.

“Today I was finally able to prove what I’ve been talking about the past month, two months, in terms of the step

forward Andretti Autosports has taken,” said Rossi, who has five straight top-six finishes.

“We have the package in the car and the people to be at the front.

Just had things go wrong and we weren’t able to execute fully.”

The win was the 57th IndyCar triumph for Andretti Autosport and the team’s first win at Watkins Glen.

It was somewhat overshadowed, though, by the sudden fall

by Newgarden after a costly error in the pits that relegated him to an 18th-place finish.

Dixon’s second-place finish for Chip Ganassi Racing erased most of Newgarden’s 31-point lead and left the four-time champion just three points behind heading

to the season finale at Sonoma next week, which is worth double points.

“I’ve been in situations like that,” Dixon said.

“I think you just got to treat next week as another race. I think you can’t overcomplicate it.

“Obviously, we want to win it.

There’s a lot on the line. But, you know, I think if you overthink things too much, then it ends up being a very bad thing.

“I’ve never raced Josef, really, in a championship like this,” said Dixon, who stole the title from Juan Pablo Montoya two years ago by winning the finale to earn the double points.

“You can have a pretty hefty swing.”

Newgarden’s lead in the standings vanished in a flash at Watkins Glen.

After taking his only lead of the day, Newgarden pitted with 15 laps to go around the natural terrain road course.

But he slammed the guard rail exiting the pits when his front tyres locked up and he veered left into the blue steel barrier.

“I made a mistake.

“It looks like a pretty stupid error, but it’s easy to do.

“I just made a miscalculation .... I came out of the pits just too hot.

“It was one small thing, but those small things add up at the end of the day.

“It’s all on me,” he said.

A depleted and desperate Brisbane are holding onto a slim hope hamstrung skipper Darius Boyd could make a shock finals appearance against the Sydney Roosters on Friday. The Broncos fullback is in extreme doubt because of the injury suffered in last week’s win over North Queensland and did not travel to Sydney for yesterday’s finals launch. Broncos team-mate Sam Thaiday said he would be given every opportunity to prove his fitness.

Hoffman hits back Departing Warriors forward Ryan Hoffman has defended the club’s culture, denying that a lazy work ethic had set in. The Warriors will once again have to wear criticism after yet another season marked by major underachievement. Their season ended with a 28-16 loss to Wests Tigers on Sunday, their ninth loss in a row. “Trust me, we train hard enough,” he said. “It’s just at the moment we don’t have blokes that are first-grade ready.” - NZME

Storm team to beat Rival coaches have declared Melbourne the team to beat in this year’s NRL finals series, after they put an exclamation mark on the minor premiership with a seventh straight win. North Queensland scraped into the playoffs after Canterbury shocked St George 26-20, but they’ll join a pack of six trying to chase down Melbourne.

With their own hopes over, Dragons coach Paul McGregor and Bulldogs mentor Des Hasler both said the Storm would be a tough proposition to beat come finals.

Thaiday’s last season Brisbane great Sam Thaiday has confirmed he will retire at the end of the 2018 NRL season. The former Broncos skipper is off contract at the end of next year and coach Wayne Bennett had already confirmed he will not be offered a new deal. Thaiday, 32, said yesterday he would not seek a contract with a rival club and would hang up the boots as a oneclub player.

■ GINGERNUTS

Cup campaign on track

Caulfield Cup contender Gingernuts has breezed through his encouraging first-up performance at Hawke’s Bay, according to trainer Jamie Richards.

The Iffraaj four-year-old exceeded expectations on Saturday when he came from the tail of the field to finish fifth in the Gr.1 Tarzino Trophy.

In doing so, Gingernuts had to overcome a check 350 metres from home in an incident that resulted in Cameron Lammas, the rider of the third-placed Underthemoonlight, copping a 10-day suspension.

“The slow track helped him and brought him into the race,” said Richards, who trains in partnership with Stephen Autridge.

“He had trialled well at Taupo and his work since then had been good.

“He pulled up well after Hastings and I rode him myself this morning – he’s a very happy horse.”

The dual Group One winner will now make at least one more domestic appearance before he crosses the Tasman.

“He’ll run in the Windsor Park Plate at Hawke’s Bay next and then we’ll have a round table discussion to confirm our next move,” Richards said.

Richards was also delighted with the effort of Gingernuts’ brother Griffin to finish fifth in the Listed El Roca Sir Colin Meads Trophy.

“He hit the line well after he got a little bit lost when he came across heels at the top of the straight,” he said. “He could perhaps have finished closer and he’s come through the race well. He can go five weeks (without a run) into the Hawke’s Bay Guineas.”

Dancer targets Hastings Shadow Dancer will make her three-year-old debut in black type company. The New Zealandbred daughter of Snitzel won her only start last season and trainer Stephen Marsh said she will have a hit-out at Cambridge on Thursday.

“She’ll have a trial there and then we’ll take her to Hastings for the Gold Trail Stakes. It’s going to be a strong field, but she is coming up very well and we think she deserves a crack.”

Jockey a Humidor fan Former New Zealand galloper Humidor has won jockey Mark Zahra over. The Darren Weir-trained son of Teofilo, winner of last season’s Australian Cup, impressed Zahra, despite the gelding finishing only eighth in Saturday’s Memsie Stakes. “He ran super. A hundred metres after the line I was nearly jumping over Vega Magic.” - NZME

Stakes success for sire

Gingernuts is right on target for his Caulfield Cup campaign.

Westbury Stud shuttle stallion Reliable Man has sired his first stakes winner. His two-year-old daughter Narella opened his black type account when she was successful yesterday in the Zukunftsrennen at Baden-Baden in Germany.

■ ADDINGTON

PLANTS, PRODUCE

Captain on course Captain Dolmio is on course to resume at Addington on September 16 after recovering well from the minor foot niggle which kept him out of the Maurice Holmes Vase last Friday.

The Robert Dunn stable star (seven wins in 24 starts) is being set for the $800,000 NZ Cup on November 14 and driver John Dunn said yesterday that the nuggety six year-old son of Grinfromeartoear is back on track for the $30,000 Avon City Ford New Brighton Cup (2600m stand) at Addington, with the winner being guaranteed a start in the NZ Cup. If he misses that race he will go to Oamaru for the $25,000 Hannon Memorial (2600m stand) on September 24.

“He just had a wee setback with a sore foot, nothing major,’’ Canterbury-based Dunn said. ‘’He seems to be good now … he missed no work and he could have raced last Friday, but there’s no point until he’s cherry ripe.

“It’s been quite wet down here and we’ve had a few with wee feet problems.’’

“He’s come back a bit stronger this season so hopefully the plan works. I’m pretty happy with the way he’s trialled up.’’

Captain Dolmio ran some huge races last season, culminating in a

Cryptic crossword

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

WordWheel

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): If you’re constantly questioning the deal or the relationship, it’s not a problem but a recurring theme and an excellent indicator that change will be beneficial or perhaps even necessary.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’re about to work very hard, so take the time to investigate the job beforehand to be sure it’s work worth doing. Mostly this is about excellent communication.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The way you think and feel about someone will be reflected in your actions even when you try to hide it. The extra charge your feelings add to the mix will bring a crackling excitement.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): It’s easy to have a good attitude while participating in leisure, but it’s the people who have a good attitude when fighting in the trenches whom you really want on your side.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): This very productive day follows a pattern: You take action then let it go, take action and then let it go. Tonight, you’ll be surprised by what you have in common with someone.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): To explain things well is to become more powerful. And if you can write down or otherwise record your explanations, it’s like you’re able to be in many places at once.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): One way to make something better is, quite simply, to love it. Your attention gives a thing value. And the high value you assign may be only your personal estimation, but something about it will stick.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Your purpose is simple. You want to make people happy. You want to see them smile. You’ll achieve the aim, though in a few cases there will be basic needs to address before this can happen.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’re a connector of people. The fabulous thing about that is when you bring people together, you’re the thing they all have in common, so you’ll be the topic of conversation in a good way.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The common thread through all of your achievements: You didn’t arrive through pure willpower. You were powered by a strong emotional need, a need that can still drive you if you let it.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The vision is foggy, but you can clear it up as easily as a person putting on glasses. Your “eyeglass prescription” will come in the form of an objective person with experience.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Getting overwhelmed is easy.

All you have to do is focus on everything at once. Give more focus to the things going wrong and bam! Instant panic. Focus on one thing at a time.

Sport Franks out for year All Blacks prop Owen Franks will undergo surgery on an Achilles tendon injury, ruling him out of rugby for the rest of the year. Coach Steve Hansen said the 95-test tighthead needed to take action to remedy an injury that has dogged him for some time. Franks, 29, played in the opening Rugby Championships test win over Australia in Sydney but missed the return test in Dunedin.

Mes an all-rounder

Mount Hutt College’s Aleks Small looks to take the ball off the opposition in his side’s 9-0 loss to Wakatipu High School yesterday.

Tough start for Mount Hutt

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

It was a difficult start for the Mount Hutt College mixed hockey team yesterday as they lost their first match of the South Island Mixed Hockey Tournament, hosted in Ashburton.

They took a heavy 9-0 defeat

to Wakatipu High School in the morning.

Wakatipu dominated the majority of the play, capitalising off several penalty corners and using strong midfield runners to their advantage.

For Mount Hutt, chances were few and far between, limited to

quick bursts up the wing and a very rare penalty corner thrown into the mix.

The side played the last game of the day yesterday, taking on St Peter’s College from Gore at 8pm.

Greymouth High School also set a mark with their first match of the day as they cruised to a

6-0 victory against SPC Rocks, while Dunstan High School and Kavanagh College both put five past Otematea High School and John Paul II High School respectively.

Mount Aspiring College also won big, downing Rangiora High School 8-1.

Bailey Mes’s value to the Silver Ferns isn’t limited to her undoubted talents in the shooting circle. Better known in the black dress as a goal shoot, Mes stepped up in Sunday’s 57-47 win over Australia with a stand-out performance at goal attack. She sunk 17 from 18 attempts, backing up Te Paea Selby-Rickit’s 35 from 41, but it was the 28-year-old’s work further up the court which proved a game-changer for New Zealand.

Not only did she work endlessly as a midcourt link into the circle, she was outstanding in generating turnover ball further up the court with a superb defensive effort.

Change on the agenda for ABs’ selectors

BY GREGOR PAUL The big hint has been dropped that the All Blacks will look to start managing workloads of senior players this week and take the chance to field some different faces against the Pumas.

Change is on the agenda but what head coach Steve Hansen hasn’t made make clear is the extent of the selectors’ plans.

Hansen said well before the British & Irish Lions arrived in June, that he intended to tackle 2017 a little differently having

become aware of how hard it is for individuals to hold their form and energy through to the end of November.

He has suggested that the selection management strategy will focus more on the back half of the season when the All Blacks play seven tests in nine weeks and travel round the world twice.

But a home test against Argentina represents an opportunity for some of that thinking to be implemented in New Plymouth.

The Pumas are a side the All

No US Open glory for Sharapova P17

Blacks respect, but they are currently ranked ninth in the world, creating a little room for Hansen to consider his options, both about who starts and who is on the bench.

The obvious candidates to be rested this week are Sam Whitelock, Aaron Smith and Beauden Barrett.

Scott Barrett could start in place of the former, with Whitelock given the week off, while TJ Perenera and Lima Sopoaga could come in for the latter two and be given the chance to build

their combination and also gain invaluable experience in managing the gameplan.

“I wouldn’t call whatever we do experimenting,” said Hansen. “If you go out there and you have an All Blacks jersey on then you are a good player.

“It is well documented that we have a big season and we are not even halfway through it and we have still got a lot of travelling to do.

“So at some point we are going to have to be smart about who we select.”

Success for NZ pair New Zealand co-drivers Brendon Hartley and Earl Bamber are streaking away with this year’s World Endurance Championship race after claiming victory in Mexico. Hartley, Bamber and German Tim Bernhard were comfortable winners of the Six Hours of Mexico, the third race they have won in succession in a Porsche Hybrid car. After five of nine rounds, the trio have amassed 133 points, 40 more than the leading Toyota car.

The victory follows wins at Le Mans and Nurburgring for the leaders.
