Burglaries in Ashburton have dropped to a relatively stable level, according to local police.

The number of people falling victims to stolen property has dropped from a spike towards the beginning of the year to smaller fluctuations that police are largely able to “nip in the bud”, Senior Sergeant Phil Dean said.

While Ashburton police still see three or four burglaries some weeks and 15 or 16 on others, he felt burglaries had been

occurring at a more manageable level over the past three months, due to two main factors.

Local police have been working to spread the message about safety while also working to target offenders.

Dean said that includes looking at when and where burglaries occur to identify patterns.

Repeat offenders may think they are carrying out burglaries randomly, but are in fact able to be tracked.

Nevertheless, Dean said he would urge people to stay wary, as local police them-

selves are doing.

“We can’t afford to sit back on our laurels,” he said.

As well as taking steps to avoid becoming a victim of crime, he urged people to keep an eye out and an ear out for anything suspicious.

“The big one is, if you think you see something – phone police.”

■ HARNESS RACING SCANDAL

Champion reinsman investigated The harness racing industry in New Zealand was shaken to its core yesterday as one of the biggest scandals in its history became public knowledge following police raids on a number of properties around Canterbury.

Police raided eight properties in Canterbury yesterday morning as part of Operation Inca as they investigate suspected race-fixing and corruption in the industry.

They also visited a property in Southland and a property in Manawatu during the raids.

The investigations are into race-fixing involving at least four stables – with the possibility of collusion to affect the outcome of races for either gambling profit or to earn stake money.

At the centre of the news yesterday was last season’s champion reinsman, Blair Orange who was reported by the New Zealand Herald to have been arrested, charged and released on bail after being interviewed. Another leading reinsman’s property was also raided on Tuesday morning by police.

Others embroiled in the investigation yesterday are believed to have been; Nigel McGrath, Andrew Stuart and John Dunn while various other licence-holders who work at those stables are also believed to have been called in for questioning.

Police also visited the stables of leading trainers Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen with Rasmussen helping the police with their inquiries.

Mid Canterbury harness racing identities spoken to by the Guardian at yesterday’s trials at the Ashburton Racecourse all spoke of their disappointment at the news and of their concern around the damage it would have on the in-

dustry. But while disappointed, all also agreed that the chance of having a cleaner sport was a positive step forward.

“At the end of the day, if these people involved are found to have done wrong, then they deserve what they get,” one source said.

“But it’s a shame that it has had to happen so publicly, our industry is a great one but incidents like this just paint it in a really bad light to those on the outside.”

tion had been going on for more than a year and he had full confidence in the evidence and intelligence gained in that time.

“We have gotten a lot of specific information and details.

“The National Organised Crime Group began investigating this in April last year and a fairly tight team of investigators have spent many hours on this.

“They have done a very thorough job and a very good one, in my view.

that no Mid Canterbury-based licence holders have been questioned.

However, Detective Superintendent Tim Anderson spoke at a press conference in Christchurch yesterday afternoon and confirmed there could be further stable searches and interviews conducted in coming days.

“We expect to speak to more people as part of the investigation,” he said.

Anderson said this investiga-

SMITH & CHURCH

“As well as that, today also involved quite a number of local police and Racing Integrity Unit staff.”

While police are still questioning a number of harness racing licence holders it is also suspected non-licence holders are being questioned, almost certainly in relation to betting activities.

Police also confirmed during the press conference that while their investigations, which have included surveillance of phone calls, text messages and emails to gain information over the course of the past year, centred largely around race-fixing there could potentially be other charges that are laid due to information gathered during the investigations.

This is believed to be in relation to the use of performanceenhancing drugs.

Racing Minister Winston Peters expressed his deep disappointment at allegations of racefixing.

“This is a sad development.

New Zealanders need to have confidence that the racing industry has integrity and is not above the law,” he said from Nauru.

“It highlights how important it is that we have a strong, independent authority like the Racing Integrity Unit to ensure offending behaviour is brought to light. We can have confidence that the system is working.”

Harness Racing New Zealand chief executive, Edward Rennell said they were contacted and told by the Racing Integrity Unit, who police the racing industry, yesterday morning that police were interviewing a number of industry participants as part of an ongoing investigation.

He said it was the first time they’d heard of the investigation.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

ECan queries legality of charge A charge against Environment Canterbury of disturbing fish spawning grounds in Bowyers Stream moved to a technical legal level in the Ashburton District Court yesterday.

Fish and Game alleges ECan disturbed or damaged the spawning grounds of trout and salmon in the stream between April and May 26 last year.

ECan has entered a not guilty plea to the charge, which was laid under the Conservation Act and carries a maximum penalty of a $200,000 fine.

In the Ashburton court yesterday, ECan counsel Phil Shamy said the charging document filled out by Fish and Game contained fatal flaws and was a nullity, or legally void. He had filed an application for the charge to be dismissed.

He said Fish and Game had listed the defendant as Environment Canterbury, rather than the legal entity Canterbury Regional Council, had not answered two mandatory fields of information on the document and failed to properly authenticate it.

The document had been prepared by experienced lawyers who should have known better, he submitted.

Shamy said the amendments required would make it a new

charge, which would then fail on the basis it was laid outside a 12-month time limit following the alleged offending.

Allowing the amendments would be unfair to the regional council and constitute a miscarriage of justice, he said.

Fish and Game’s counsel Nic Soper said ECan had known about the charge since September last year and had had plenty of time to raise the issue of a defective document.

But Shamy said it was not obliged to share its defence strategy.

Soper said the charging document did meet the required standard, with one minor omission that was easily attended to.

He said Environment Canterbury and the Canterbury Regional Council were the same, even if ECan was technically its brand name.

Judge Allan Roberts said he would consider both arguments and aim to deliver a decision on Monday, when he returned to the Ashburton court.

Fish and Game have previously said the spawning grounds in the stream, which is connected to the Ashburton River, were damaged by earthmoving machinery at the height of the salmon and trout spawning season last year.

Bookarama turnover tops $1m

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theugardian.co.nz

It’s time to clear some space on your bookshelves and get out your reading glasses.

Ashburton’s iconic Bookarama is to make its annual appearance later this month, and is expected to once again attract thousands.

Already tonnes upon tonnes of books and jigsaw puzzles are flooding in to Rotary Club of Ashburton members, who are busy sorting, stacking and labelling.

They have been staging the event since 1980, and in that time have turned over $1.3 million.

Typically up to $60,000 is raised each year, and it’s money which goes back into the com-

munity. Among members are Lindsay Holland, who has not missed a single Bookarama since it began.

He said the rise of Mr Google had seen some of the more hefty tomes such as encyclopaedias, atlases, dictionaries and books on the royal family, lose their spots as the most popular books.

But they had been replaced by recent novels by popular authors, and members were always on the lookout for such titles, particularly those in clean and tidy condition.

Mills and Boon titles continue to sell well, with romance fans generally buying up a whole year’s reading at a time.

Holland never ceases to be amazed by the sheer volume of

books which come in as people make donations.

Members store 1000 empty banana boxes at a central town location, and by midway through the year half of them are full.

This year there were even more jigsaw puzzles than usual, with the closure of a local jigsaw library resulting in a donation of hundreds of the items.

Bookarama 2018 will open on September 24, and run until September 29, at the Sports Hall.

Convenor David Mead said he was expecting bookworms from as far afield as Timaru and Christchurch.

“The Monday is always a really big day. It would be one of the biggest bookaramas around,” Mead said.

Kids’ book three years in the making now off to the world

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Three years of hard work have paid off for first-time author Vicky Smith and illustrator Lisa Harper.

Two hundred copies of their new children’s book, The Fairy and the Leprechaun, have just rolled off the printing press and are making their way around New Zealand and the world.

Featuring an alternative tale about the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, Smith hopes it will be read and enjoyed by children and their parents alike.

But the glossy, imaginative creation now spilling out of boxes in her dining room didn’t actually begin as a book.

Smith, a singer-songwriter, said the idea originated from a Celtic folk song jotted down on her Macbook, printed out on paper and lost, buried in her lounge for some time.

“My son then picked it up and suggested it would make a really good kids’ book,” she said.

Smith started researching and discovered a local illustrator, Lisa Harper, who offered to help bring the tale to life with 15 detailed pencil, felt pen and watercolour drawings.

“When I read the story I could really envisage it,” Harper said.

To fund the book, the duo then created a Kickstarter page and

watched as donations poured in from right around the world.

Eighteen Kiwis, including eight locals, also gave generously to the cause.

“I didn’t have my own pot of gold … but we were really spoilt,” Smith said.

Now the books have been printed, with thanks to a friend of Smith’s, its makers are creating keyrings, fairy doors and postcards to send to the people who pledged, along with copies of the story itself.

They are also donating a copy to the Ashburton Library and selling copies via a Facebook page, The Fairy and the Leprechaun.

The book abounds with oldworld magic and language, which Smith said she believes will broaden the mind.

A glossary at the back explains some of the trickier words.

“I think English is one of the few languages where you can say things in a myriad of different ways … but we are slowly losing that with things like texts and emojis,” she said.

“I want to capture the magic of English.”

Since getting under way the two have barely stopped to draw breath, Smith said – but she’s already eyeing up the idea of a second story.

“I’ve talked with the fairy and the fairy has given me a few ideas,” she said.

Illustrator Lisa Harper and author Vicky Smith are hoping to light up the imaginations of children around the world with their new book.

Police ready to tackle alcohol offending rise

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

As winter rolls into spring, Ashburton Police are preparing to tackle an increase in alcohol related offending.

Taking on board trends and observations from previous years, they have been planning how to prevent people from putting themselves and others at risk.

Senior Sergeant Phil Dean said with warmer weather, people will be socialising more often and heading to town on a Saturday night in bigger numbers.

“Unfortunately that means more people could make the wrong decision,” he said.

Around New Zealand, police record 340 offences involving alcohol every day.

This includes one in four traffic offences, including 43 recorded instances of “exceeding the prescribed content of alcohol or other substance limit” in Ashburton from July 2017 to July 2018.

Alcohol is also linked to one in two serious violence offences, one in three family violence offences and as well as sexual offences, property offences and drugs and anti-social offences.

Police have four main objectives to prevent and reduce alcohol related offending: greater knowledge of alcohol related offences and issues, safer communities, effective interventions and enforcement and building partnerships to reduce alcohol related harm.

■ BIG LITTLE THEATRE COMPANY

Top talent on show in UK fundraiser

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Fifteen aspiring actors heading to the Globe Theatre next year will be encouraging audiences to make like them and Follow Your Dreams this Friday night.

The Big Little Theatre Company (BLTC) are collaborating with Wayne’s School of Rock to hold a fundraising concert at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre, featuring a veritable feast of performances.

To get to England next July, BLTC are eyeing up a fundraising goal in the region of $60,000, company director Jackie Heffernan said.

To achieve that goal they have organised a number of events.

“Being a theatre company, we want at least some of these to reflect the skills and talents of our youngsters and have an entertainment theme,” she said.

The event on Friday night will see vocal soloists, drummers, and bands from Wayne’s School of Rock interspersed with work from BLTC exam students including extracts from Shakespeare and the slapstick com-

edy One Man Two Guvnors.

Elise Heffernan, Jamie Lamond and newcomers Harpa Hughes and Emma Paige Dickson will be singing, Isaac Carr will be drumming and established bands The Angelettas and Rasta Monkey will be performing.

Next year’s trip will celebrate 10 very successful years since the local youth theatre company launched, and give the young actors the chance to share their world-topping talents following huge success in their Trinity College exams and several New Zealand awards.

“Taking them to London to train with the best is an opportunity they genuinely desire and richly deserve,” Heffernan said.

During the three-week trip students will be working with the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and the Royal Academy of Performing Arts and performing in locations like the Globe Theatre and the Southbank Festival.

Follow Your Dreams will start at 7pm on Friday, and is being held as an open hat night where audiences pay what they think the show is worth.

Year 7 band The Angelettas will be among those performing at a Big Little Theatre Company fundraising concert on Friday.

Ride to raise dementia awareness

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Greg Kelly is shining a light on younger-onset dementia by motorcycling around New Zealand, and will be in Ashburton next month.

The 61-year-old Queenslander was diagnosed about two years ago with frontotemporal dementia, and is committed to both fighting the disease and raising awareness about it.

“It is something I will live with for the rest of my life, but I am determined to make a difference while I still can,” he said while touring Australia on a similar crusade last year.

The former financial services executive will be hosted by the Ashburton Pakeke Lions Club at a breakfast at Hotel Ashburton October 19 starting at 7.30am.

Tickets are $35, and proceeds will go to Dementia Mid Canterbury.

Member Robert Spencer said many Mid Cantabrians knew someone suffering with the disease. He himself was in this category, having had both his parents affected.

And it was good to see ticket sales going well, with Mid Cantabrians committed to the cause.

“We have had people ringing up and we hadn’t had the tickets printed.”

Anyone wanting tickets can contact Spencer on 308-1777 or susanspencer@xtra.co.nz

■ ASHBURTON COUNTY SCOTTISH SOCIETY

Society’s ceilidh to be the fourth so far this year

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

An event later this month will see the Ashburton County Scottish Society doing what they do best – song, dance and socialising.

Preparations are under way for the society’s fourth ceilidh of 2018, to be held at the Seniors Centre on September 23 and open to any members of the public who wish to come along.

The events are traditionally held during winter and this is the last for 2018, committee member Ken McKenzie said.

The previous ceilidh attracted nearly 100 guests, from locals with Scottish connections to those who simply enjoy the culture.

The society themselves are always on the lookout for new members.

McKenzie said this ceilidh will feature performances from the Lochlea Line Dancers and the Southern Fiddle Celtic Orchestra.

Ashburton’s ever popular young Highland Dancers, who are among the top in New Zealand, will be putting on a show along with pianist Alan Andrews.

“He plays the kind of music that people like to sit down and listen to … it’s great,” McKenzie said.

And an afternoon tea will be held at the venue for all attendees.

The next event on the calendar for the society is the Burns Supper in February, featuring haggis and poetry.

Entry to the ceilidh is $5 at the door and it will kick into action at 2pm.

Right – Molly Harrison, 9 and Abbey Marr, 8, were among those to perform at Ashburton County Scottish Society’s last ceilidh in July.

Sth Canty mozzarella makes its way to the world

Say cheese! MP for Rangitata Andrew Falloon (left), Timaru Mayor Damon Odey, process operators Shannon Biggs, Paula Eddy, Pene Hammond and cheese plant manager Chris Turner.

Milk from Mid Canterbury dairy farms and carloads of workers who travel from Ashburton are helping Fonterra’s Clandeboye factory become the mozzarella capital of the world.

Clandeboye fired up its third new mozzarella line yesterday and the cheese factory now produces enough cheese to top more than half a billion pizzas a year.

The company confirmed a couple of carpools of workers travelled from Ashburton to work in the mozzarella plant, which was built over the past two years.

The cheese is made from one of Fonterra’s secret recipes and is made in hours rather than in months, the time traditional mozzarella takes.

It is used in pizzas all over the

world. Fonterra chief operating officer of global operations Robert Spurway said the new plant was a great example of the co-operative’s ambition to move more milk into value add products.

Clandeboye mozzarella tops more than 80 per cent of pizzas in Australia, China, South East Asia and the Middle East. Demand for Western food in China alone, helped pizza sales double from $US1.5 billion in 2010 to $US3.5b in 2015.

Timaru District Mayor Damon Odey said the plant had been a vote of confidence by Fonterra in the South Canterbury community and helped underline the district’s importance as a major food hub and growing exporter.

MPs sign waivers in leak hunt National’s MPs have signed waivers giving investigators access to their electronic devices as far back as February as the party hunts for the person who leaked details of leader Simon Bridges’ expenses to the media.

The leak, of Bridges’ travel and accommodation expenses for the June quarter, were reported by media three days before they were publicly released on August 16. But Bridges confirmed yesterday that MPs were asked to sign waivers that would allow investigators to go through their mobile devices and computers all the way back to February.

The inquiry, being conducted

by PwC and Simpson Grierson, will look at traffic from National MPs’ and staff computers.

“I’ve signed the waiver myself.

From memory it’s February. If we’re going to do this, we want to do it well. To do that and to give PwC here the best chance of doing a thorough job you do want a time period to do it,” Bridges told reporters yesterday.

He gave an assurance to his MPs that the access would not be used as a “fishing expedition” for other information.

“Absolutely, categorically.

“There is no ulterior thing that

will happen here.” All MPs have now signed the privacy waiver.

National’s deputy leader Paula Bennett and shadow leader of the House Gerry Brownlee are overseeing the investigation.

Yesterday’s National caucus is the first time it has met since Speaker Trevor Mallard overturned his decision to hold an inquiry into who might have leaked the travel expenses to Newshub.

On August 23 Mallard named Michael Heron QC to conduct the investigation.

But he cancelled it on August 24 after it was publicly revealed

that Newshub, Mallard and Bridges had received an anonymous text from someone claiming to be a National MP and pleading for the inquiry to be called off for the sake of his or her mental health.

Bridges was not entirely convinced it was from a National MP but Mallard said the text was from someone who was clearly very disturbed and publicity around the text would make that worse whether the person was an MP or a staffer.

The police know who the leaker is but are refusing to say.

In brief Boil water notice lifted The Ashburton District Council has removed the precautionary boil water notice for the Mt Somers water supply, with tests showing that the quality of the water has returned to normal. Residents connected to the scheme are no longer required to boil their drinking water and can consume it as normal. The scheme was placed on a precautionary notice on Monday after council detected high levels of turbidity in the water which was likely to have been caused by heavy rainfall.

Workshops for migrants Inclusiveness is at the heart of new workshops for recent migrants to Mid Canterbury. Volunteering New Zealand (VNZ) is partnering with Volunteering Mid and South Canterbury, to deliver the twohour workshops, to be held on September 17 at 1.30pm, and repeated again at 7pm, at Hotel Ashburton. Volunteering Mid Canterbury and South Canterbury Co-ordinator Dellwyn Moylan said the workshops were the first of their kind in the South Island, and designed to inform recent migrants about the volunteering benefits and opportunities available to them. Mayor Donna Favel said the workshops tied in well with Mid Canterbury’s Welcoming Communities initiative.

“Enabling more of our migrant community to learn and feel supported to be active volunteers will help grow connections, reduce isolation and can often be a great platform towards employment,” she said.

OUR VIEW

Living through a horrible nightmare Y

esterday a part of my world came crashing down in a rather spectacular and dramatic heap.

For as long as I care to remember harness racing has been at the forefront of everyday life. It’s been a hobby, it’s been an income but most of all it has been a passion.

But when news started flying yesterday morning of raids by police on numerous properties around Canterbury and further afield, my heart sank.

What unfolded in the hours following those initial reports will leave an everlasting mark on an industry that I’ve always been proud to be a part of.

Allegations of race-fixing and

drug scandals have circled like seagulls at the beach and unfortunately where there is smoke, there is usually the proverbial fire and everything I’ve heard from everyone I’ve talked to has suggested that it’s true.

I’m not going to speculate on who or what might have unfolded – that’s not my place, but I can comment on harness racing as a whole because what has

been shoved out into the public sphere in the past 24 hours is not a true reflection of such a wonderful industry to be a part of.

I feel I need to. I feel I have to.

Like any sector in life, there are going to be bad eggs. Those who push the boundaries too far and often ruin things for everyone else.

But largely the harness racing industry is full of good, honest and hard-working people.

They are real salt of the earth characters, the sort of people who would give you the shirt off their back if you needed it.

They’re the sort of people who load up their horse floats and head away for weeks on end, travelling from one end of the

country to the other enjoying the company of like-minded people, telling stories and paying homage to the way life used to be in some sense.

Harness racing isn’t a rich sport. There’s money to be made, but it’s bloody hard to do it and most struggle from weekto-week with rising costs and minimal returns, and they do it honestly and with integrity.

And it’s those people who will have been hurt the most yesterday.

There’s a real sense of ownership when it comes to harness racing, people are proud to be a part of the industry, they love the sport and their mutual love of the standardbred horse is

unparalleled.

So put the knife into one and the entire population will bleed.

Yes, the prospect of a clean sport is an appealing one, but at what cost has that come?

The damage done from a publicity and image point of view yesterday will tear a hole in everyone.

How the industry bounces back from this will be intriguing.

It’s certainly not going to be easy and for those who are directly involved in yesterday’s events there is potentially no coming back.

And for this harness racing tragic, I hope things can return to normal again one day soon – because for now, this all feels like a horrible nightmare.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Wednesday, Sept. 5, the 248th day of 2018. There are 117 days left in the year.

Today’s highlights in history: On September 5, 1972, the Palestinian group Black September attacked the Israeli Olympic delegation at the Munich Games; 11 Israelis, five guerrillas and a police officer were killed in the resulting siege.

On this date: In 1698, Russia’s Peter the Great imposed a tax on beards.

In 1939, four days after war had broken out in Europe, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued a proclamation declaring US neutrality in the conflict.

In 1945, Japanese-American Iva Toguri D’Aquino, suspected of being wartime broadcaster Tokyo Rose, was arrested in Yokohama.

(D’Aquino was later convicted of treason and served six years in prison; she was pardoned in 1977

by President Gerald R. Ford.)

In 1960, at the Rome Olympics, American boxer Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) defeated Zbigniew Pietrzykowski of Poland to win the lightheavyweight gold medal; Wilma Rudolph of the United States won the second of her three gold medals with the 200-metre sprint.

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed legislation making aircraft hijackings a federal crime.

In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford escaped an attempt on his life

by Lynette Squeaky Fromme, a disciple of Charles Manson, in Sacramento, California.

In 1986, four hijackers who had seized a Pan Am jumbo jet on the ground in Karachi, Pakistan, opened fire when the lights inside the plane failed; a total of 20 people were killed before Pakistani commandos stormed the jetliner.

In 1997, breaking the royal reticence over the death of Princess Diana, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II delivered a televised address in which she called her former daughter-in-law “a remarkable

MAYOR’S MESSAGE

C

ommunity safety is an important part of why it is so good to live in the Ashburton District.

And you, the residents of this district are a vital part of keeping us safe, as you are the eyes and the ears of our community.

You will always be able to see and hear more than authorities such as the police and council.

To give you an opportunity to voice your opinions on community safety, Ashburton District Council, Ashburton Police, and Safer Ashburton District are hosting a public forum at the Hotel Ashburton, on Racecourse Road, on Saturday, September 15.

The forum will start at 4pm and will be an open discussion with residents about what we can all do to make our communities even safer.

Ashburton senior sergeant Phil Dean says topics such as road safety, youth crime, suicide, and alcohol and drugs will be included on the agenda.

The forum will also be a great opportunity to learn more about the Safer Communities accreditation that our district is currently working towards.

Earlier in the year, as part of the council’s annual community grants and funding process, community organisation Safer Ashburton District was allocated additional funding to lead the accreditation process for our district.

The Safe Communities Foundation New Zealand defines a safe community as one “where people can go about their daily activities in an environment without fear, risk of harm or injury”.

It extends beyond the reduction and prevention of injury and violence to include safe roads, public spaces, and workplaces.

More than 50 per cent of New Zealand’s population lives within an accredited safe community.

Each community has to create its own goals and priorities based on local needs.

Keeping people safe is the focus of a forum to be held on Saturday, September 15.

Amendment Act 2014, council has to regularly assess the cost effectiveness of delivering its services. This is called a Section 17a Review. The results of a recent Section 17a review on the community safety portfolio, which included Safer Ashburton as a local services provider, recommended that the organisation lead the Safer Communities accreditation.

A working group, made up of representatives from a broad variety of organisations across the community, has been formed as part of the process. A part-time co-ordinator was also recently employed by Safer Ashburton District to oversee the project.

A collaborative action plan is being developed, which will include actions for how we, as a community, can work together in partnership to achieve the accreditation. It will be a community effort and one that we can all contribute something towards in achieving the outcomes.

We are also very fortunate in

Ashburton to have Neighbourhood Support and Ashburton Town Watch Community Patrol in our midst.

There are more than 300 Neighbourhood Support groups around the district, aiming to build connections between neighbours, reduce isolation, share information, and lower rates of offending through signage and awareness.

The Community Patrol is always on the look-out for more volunteers so if you have a few hours spare once a month on Saturdays to help out with patrolling, have a look at the group’s Facebook page @AshburtonTownWatch to get in touch with them.

Members also help to monitor the town’s security cameras.

Recently, Ashburton District Council announced that more than 2500 LED street lights will be installed across the district by the end of December this year.

Research from New Zealand Transport Association (NZTA)

suggests that improvements to street lighting could reduce the number of road crashes by about 30 per cent.

The street lights will also help to make neighbourhoods safer with the increased brightness acting as a deterrent to petty crime.

All of these factors, and many more, contribute greatly to the general safety of our district and its residents.

I look forward to seeing a good turnout to the public forum on September 15 and I strongly encourage anyone who is interested to come along, share your thoughts, and hear about how we can all work together to make our community a safer one.

Record win on The Chase A plucky team on The Chase have scooped a record £100,000 prize – the highest amount ever won on daytime TV in Britain – by slaying the Governess Anne Hegerty. Diane, 52, a housewife from Lancaster, Luca, 21, a medical student from Cardiff, Tim, 62, a retired database administrator from Northamptonshire and Gayna, 38, a laundry assistant from west Yorkshire, answered 17 questions correctly giving them a potential prize of £100,000.

The win was praised by viewers of the ITV game show, which screens in New Zealand on TVNZ 1, with many branding it “the best episode ever”.

■ UNITED STATES

Gordon life-threatening Tropical Storm Gordon lashed South Florida with heavy rains and high winds yesterday and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane when it hits the central US Gulf Coast.

Gordon formed into a tropical storm near the Florida Keys as it moved west-northwest at 28km/h.

The storm is expected to reach hurricane strength when it hits the Gulf Coast, including coastal Mississippi, today.

From there, it is forecast to move inland over the lower Mississippi Valley on Thursday.

The National Hurricane Centre said the storm was centered 150km west of Fort Myers, Florida. Maximum sustained winds were clocked at 95km/h.

A hurricane warning was put into effect for the area stretching from the mouth of the

Pearl River in Mississippi to the Alabama-Florida border.

As much as 20cm of rain could fall in some parts of the Gulf states until Friday.

The Miami-based centre said the storm is also expected to bring “life-threatening” storm surge to portions of the central Gulf Coast.

A storm surge warning has been issued for the area stretching from Shell Beach, Louisiana, to Dauphin Island, Alabama. The warning means there is a danger of life-threatening inundation. The region could see rising waters of 1m to 1.5m.

“The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to the east of the landfall location, where the surge will be accompanied by very large waves,” the centre said.

Louisiana Governor John

Bel Edwards declared a state of emergency and said 200 National Guard troops will be deployed to southeastern Louisiana.

The storm’s predicted track had shifted slightly east, meaning Louisiana is currently just outside the area under the hurricane warning.

Still, the southeastern part of the state remains under a tropical storm warning and residents need to be prepared for the storm to shift west, Edwards said.

“This storm has every possibility to track further in our direction,” Edwards said during a news conference.

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said the city has “the pumps and the power” needed to protect residents.

But authorities issued a voluntary evacuation order for areas outside the city’s levee

protection system, including the Venetian Isles, Lake Saint Catherine and Irish Bayou areas.

Cantrell urged residents within the levee protection area to stock up on supplies and shelter in place.

Miami Beach Police said via Twitter that the Labour Day holiday was “NOT a beach day,” with rough surf and potential rip currents.

Red flags flew over Pensacola-area beaches in Florida’s Panhandle, where swimming and wading in the Gulf of Mexico was prohibited.

More than 4000 Florida Power & Light customers lost power due to the weather conditions.

The National Weather Service said conditions were possible for tornadoes in the affected parts of South Florida.

Most hated celebrity Roxanne Pallett has dubbed herself ‘the most hated woman in Britain’ after returning to the Celebrity Big Brother studio.

The actress has been slated by members of the public and fellow screen stars who have called for her to face further action after claiming actor Ryan Thomas ‘punched’ her. The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant appeared in an interview with host Emma Willis, in which she spoke about her claims Thomas intentionally punched her. Broadcast regulator Ofcom received more than 11,000 complaints over her claims as footage appeared to contradict her claims. A staggering 21 co-stars slammed the actress.

Caning ‘meant to educate the women’ Two women in Malaysia have been caned in court in front of family members for attempting to have consensual sex with each other.

The unnamed women, aged 22 and 32, were each caned six times in the Sharia High Court in the state of Terengganu as punishment for attempting to have sex in a car.

The caning was witnessed by

more than 100 people, including family members and government officials.

Homosexual activity is illegal under both secular and religious laws, however according to an official, this is the state’s first conviction for same-sex relations and its first public caning, the BBC reports.

The women were arrested in April after being discovered

in a parked car by Islamic enforcement officers.

They pleaded guilty to breaking Islamic laws last month and were sentenced to six strokes of a cane each and fined $1110.

Human rights organisations condemned the sentencing as a setback for human rights and said it could worsen discrimination against people in Ma-

laysia’s LGBT community.

Women’s Aid said it was “appalled by this grave violation of human rights”.

Muslim Lawyers’ Association deputy president Abdul Rahim Sinwan said that, unlike caning under civil laws, the punishment under Islamic laws isn’t painful or harsh and was meant to educate the women so they will repent.

Minaj returning to NZ? Rap superstar Nicki Minaj could be on her way back to New Zealand. The Superbass hitmaker has just been named as a headliner for Australia’s FOMO Festival, which will head to Brisbane, Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne across two weekends in January. So will she add on a trip to New Zealand while she’s here?

It looks promising. The festival often announces sideshows in New Zealand and earlier this year they delivered us Kaytranada and SZA. If Minaj does return, it will be her first time here since 2012.

Trees, EVs and farming key – report

It’s tough for big corporate brands in this age of “culture war”.

Do you pick a side and risk a backlash by offending half your customer base?

Or do you stay silent and risk the ire of others by implicitly endorsing the politically dominant view?

In what looks like one of the biggest branding calls of the Donald Trump presidency – Nike has picked a side.

Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything. #JustDoIt pic.twitter.com/SRWkMIDdaO Colin Kaepernick (@ Kaepernick7) September 3, 2018 The sportswear giant has chosen Colin

Donald Trump

Kaepernick, the first NFL player to kneel during the national anthem as a protest against racism, as one of the faces for advertisements commemorating the 30th anniversary of its “Just Do It” slogan.

Capitalism often seems brutal and inhuman. We all know about the inequality it can create.

But sometimes, in its own selfinterested way, it can reveal a democratic streak that’s more representative than the electoral system.

This looks like one of those moments.

Kaepernick certainly “just did it”. He has been front and centre of a cultural war in the US. His kneeling anthem protests address the ongoing issue of racial inequality and police brutality.

They have been described as disrespectful by US President Donald Trump who called on the NFL to sack him and ban players from taking the knee.

“If a player wants the privilege of making millions of dollars in the NFL, or other leagues, he or she should not be allowed to disrespect our Great American Flag (or Country) and should stand for the National Anthem,” Trump tweeted. “If not, YOU’RE FIRED. Find something else to

do!”

Many Americans agree and do not want to see politics in their sporting arenas.

The issue has been deeply divisive so we can assume the decision by Nike to use Kaepernick so prominently has not been taken lightly.

They have had him on their books for two years but have not used him in promotions.

This week they finally made a call – and in doing so picked a side.

“We believe Colin is one of the most inspirational athletes of this generation, who has leveraged the power of sport to help move the world forward,” Gino Fisanotti, Nike’s vice-president of brand for North America, told ESPN. Well, as much as Nike will want to talk about making a decision based on values you can bet that they have done the maths.

The company will have modelled the numbers and assessed the risk of potential backlash from consumers who support Trump and dislike Kaepernick.

The good news for those troubled by the rise of ultra-conservative nationalism in US politics is that Nike is betting that a majority of their consumers will stick with them and they will weather any backlash.

It has a made a bold call. It may be that it is ultimately pragmatic and self-interested.

If so then that in itself is heartening.

Nike makes bold call with NFL player Kaepernick

That last finding follows last week’s note from the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment suggesting methane from cows and sheep would need to reduce between 10-and-22 per cent to meet the country’s climate change goals and implying a smaller national dairy herd than at present.

The report endorses a different treatment for “methane – a more powerful but much shorter-lived greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide – than for longerlived gases”.

“Putting biogenic methane within either a dual-cap NZ ETS or an alternative methane quota system, will incentivise reductions of biogenic methane in recognition of its nature as a shortlived GHG,” the commission says.

As foreshadowed in its interim report, the commission also endorses the key elements of the Net Zero Carbon Bill, currently in development by Climate Change Minister James Shaw, which include legislated GHG reduction targets, a system of carbon ‘budgets’ to allow progress to be tracked, greater certainty about the supply of NZUs, and an independent Climate Change Commission to oversee the country’s progress towards long-term change objectives, with as much parliamentary unity as possible on longterm policy.

A rapid transition to electric vehicles, sustained tree-planting on a scale seen only once before and major changes to farming methods are the key to New Zealand meeting its obligations to the global pact on climate change, the Productivity Commission says in its final report on becoming a “low carbon economy”.

Carbon prices of at least $75 a tonne and perhaps higher than $200/t would also be required to spur investment and land use, transport fuel and industrial heat process changes over the next 30 years, the report said, a day after the price of a New Zealand Unit of carbon pushed through the current legislated cap of $25 a tonne for the first time since the emissions trading scheme came into being a decade ago.

Ordered up by the previous government, the report takes into account the current government’s more ambitious climate change target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050, rather than the target of 2100 set by the last National Party-led government.

Starting sooner rather than later is vital for what will be a “long journey through very uncertain terrain”, the commission says in its 600-plus page report, which covers all sectors of the

economy that produce emissions, including agriculture, industrial heat, transport and waste management.

“Modelling for this inquiry suggests that New Zealand can make the transition by cutting its domestic emissions at costs similar to those likely to be experienced by other developed countries. But the sooner New Zealand begins to reduce its emissions, the less abrupt and costly the transition will be.”

The three most important changes the commission suggests are: – A transition from fossil fuels to electricity and other low-emissions fuels across the economy, with a “rapid and comprehensive switch of the light vehicle fleet to electric vehicles (EVs), and a switch away from coal and natural gas for industrial heat, “particularly for low and medium temperature heat users”.

– “Sustained rates of (forest) planting over the next 30 years, mostly on land currently used for sheep and beef farming, potentially at an annual rate approaching the highest ever recorded (100,000 hectares in 1994).

– “Changes to the structures and methods of agricultural production”, including more land being used for cropping and horticulture.

Beat the lunchbox dilemma S

chool lunches are the bane of most mums’ lives.

Over the school lifetime of a child you could make around 3000 of these per child and, if you’re lucky, most of those may be eaten. And, again, if you’re lucky, the task of packing a school lunch might be taken over by a child once they hit second-

ary school.

But no matter who packs the lunchbox, the eternal problem is what to put in there that’s tasty, tempting and likely to be eaten.

■ OPINION

Rollercoaster ride continues T

he NRL finals start this weekend and the Warriors are just as good a chance of taking it out as any of the other seven teams.

It’s a statement that, had it been made 12 months ago, would have had a lot of people falling off their chairs in fits of laughter.

But, it’s true.

The race for the title of the NRL’s premiership winners in 2018 is arguably the most open in recent memory.

The Warriors finished in eighth spot, the last team to qualify for the top eight, but when all the dust settled after the final games of the regular season last weekend they were just two points – or a single win – off the top of the table.

The Roosters claimed the minor premiership by a whisker.

They finished on top of the table with 34 points along with the Storm, Rabbitohs and Sharks, but claimed the minor premier-

ship title courtesy of a marginally superior points differential compared to the Storm. Just two points back were the Broncos, Panthers and the Dragons.

Just three weeks ago the Warriors lost a game they should have won – to the Bulldogs by one point.

Had they won that, as they should have, they too would have finished on 34 points and at the top of the ladder, although to have had a chance to knock the Roosters off their perch they’d have needed to have scored a lot more points during the season.

As it turned out, the Warriors could have lost their final match of the regular season on Friday night against the Raiders – either way they still would have finished up in the same spot on the ladder due to the weekend’s other results.

But, I’m glad they didn’t.

It was one of the best games of the season, for the action on the

Erin Tasker SPORTS REPORTER

field, the result, and the occasion.

Mt Smart Stadium was full to the brim and humming for what was Simon Mannering’s 300th game.

Finishing the season with four wins from their last five games would have given the Warriors a huge confidence boost, at a vital time.

They started the season so well, winning their first five games on the trot – something unheard of for the Warriors – but the wheels fell off a few times as the season progressed prompting some of those who had jumped on the Warriors bandwagon after that

stellar start, to jump off again.

But as it turned out, the Warriors did more than enough to earn a spot in the top eight for the first time in seven long years.

They headed in to the finals as the underdogs, being the eighth team in the top eight, but as I’d said all along, it didn’t matter where in the top eight they finished because the Warriors were the kind of team that could win it from anywhere.

In fact, they were probably more likely to win it from eighth spot than if they were top of the table, knowing the Warriors.

First up though, they have to beat the Panthers on Saturday night in Sydney, and they are more than capable.

They met just two weeks ago and it was the Warriors that came out on top 36-16.

I, for one, am not ready to stop cheering them on this season, so fingers crossed the 2018 Warriors rollercoaster doesn’t stop running this weekend.

Doggies go mad Furious NRL CEO Todd Greenberg says there is no doubt action will be taken against Canterbury, claiming pictures that emerged of the club’s Mad Monday antics had “let down the game” ahead of the finals. The NRL and the Bulldogs have launched an investigation after pictures showed players nude, vomiting on the street and passed out during their end-of-season drinks at a Sydney hotel on Monday night. An unhappy Greenberg would not speculate on sanctions but has made it clear the Bulldogs will be punished after briefing clubs about Mad Monday etiquette recently.

Drama inspired Broncos Wayne Bennett’s contract saga has galvanised Brisbane’s NRL finals charge, according to captain Darius Boyd, who insists his longtime mentor is still the best coach in the game. The Broncos enter September as one of the form teams of the competition, having won their past three games headed into the finals. Brisbane haven’t lost since before the night of the infamous barbecue gathering at Bennett’s house, which was revealed in the same week reports peaked that the coach could be out of the club at the end of the year.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Pundits change their tune Accolades are raining down on the Warriors, with the game’s leading pundits predicting they will beat Penrith in Saturday night’s sudden-death NRL clash in Sydney.

The usual derision for the Warriors has been replaced with delight, including claims their leading lights deserve to be 2018 award winners.

Coach Steve Kearney, captain Roger-Tuivasa Sheck and hooker Issac Luke have been picked out for special mention.

The fifth-seeded Panthers are $1.70 favourites to win the elimination finals match at the 85,000 capacity Olympic stadium, with the eighth-ranked Warriors paying around $2.15.

But renowned tipsters appear to be shifting the other way.

Fox Sports’ Michael Ennis is picking a Warriors upset in a wild match between “flamboyant” teams, and says the Auckland club can go all the way.

“I applaud what Stephen Kearney has done – it’s been a terrific season,” said Ennis, who had a 14-season NRL career with five clubs, and played State of Origin.

“I don’t know if they can win three weeks in a row in Australia but they can really trouble the Panthers.

“Everyone talks (Shaun) Johnson up, (Roger) Tuivasa-Sheck, but Issac Luke is their key.

“If he gets his game right he is the most damaging hooker in the competition.

“I love their spine.

“The Warriors can win this competition if Issac Luke has a terrific month.”

In brief

The New Zealand Warriors were training with loud music as they prepare for their first playoff game since 2011. The Warriors face the Panthers at ANZ on Saturday and were using the unique technique to prepare for the crowd noise.

“That’s something they’ve done before. Just a way to try and simulate what the atmosphere will be like as much as possible,” Tohu Harris said yesterday. “I’ve found it works. We had a few instances today where we found we had to be a lot clearer with our communication. That’s going to be how it is in the game.”

- NZME

Halfback merry-go-round

Issac Luke has emerged as a vital cog for the Warriors this season.

Veteran league journalist Brad Walter has picked out Roger Tuivasa-Sheck as the player of the year, and Steve Kearney as the coach of the year.

Walter pointed to TuivasaSheck’s outstanding statistics, which included a staggering 338 run metres in a match against Newcastle.

“Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has demonstrated why the battle to keep him from the clutches of the All Blacks was so significant,” Walter wrote on nrl.com.

“The Warriors captain is a major reason for his team making the finals for the first time since 2011.

“Under Kearney’s guidance, the Warriors have been a much more consistent and durable team ... as evidenced by the number of games they managed to win in the absence of stars such as Shaun Johnson ... Kearney should be coach of the year.”

NRL.com’s power ranking expert Jamie Soward, another former State of Origin player, said the Warriors had played “smart footy and for each other”.

The club had developed a new, resilient personality.

“I tipped this team to finish second-last, but what an amazing turnaround,” he said.

“They’ve gotten really fit,

played hard-nosed footy, controlled their off-loads.”

He said Penrith could play like a top two side but were too inconsistent.

Nick Campton, of the Herald Sun, is predicting a 34-26 win to the Warriors in a “track meet”.

“The win by the Warriors two weeks ago is too difficult to ignore,” he reckoned.

Campton also lauded No.9 Luke, saying: “The energy and aggression he provides around the ruck is a big part of the transformation the Warriors have undergone this season and he has become the beating heart of the side.”

Melbourne must become the first team to win a premiership without a settled halfback in three decades if they are to defend their NRL title this year. The Storm’s halfback merry-go-round searching for Cooper Cronk’s replacement will continue into the finals, with Brodie Croft expected to return from a knee injury to face South Sydney in Friday’s qualifying final. Scott Drinkwater was named at halfback for the first time last week but mostly played fullback, after Croft and Ryley Jacks had each played nine games at No.7 this year and Jahrome Hughes five.

Aus-Tonga in Auckland A historic test between Australia and Tonga in Auckland appears set to be confirmed by the New Zealand Rugby League.

Negotiations between the NZRL and the NRL to stage the test at Mt Smart Stadium on October 20 are believed to have concluded. A press conference has been scheduled for this morning in Auckland, hosted by NZRL boss Greg Peters and NRL general manager of elite competitions Jason King. The NZRL is concerned the high-profile match would suck attention away from the trans-Tasman test at the same venue a week earlier. - AAP

■ CRICKET

Cook calls time on career England batsman Alastair Cook will retire from international cricket after this week’s test against India, saying yesterday there is “nothing left in the tank” after 12 record-breaking years in the team.

An elegant and gritty left-handed opener, Cook is leaving the international game holding a slew of national records in tests: most runs (12,254), most appearances (160), most centuries (32) and most tests at captain (59). He played in 158 straight tests – a world record – and captained England from 2012-17, during which the team won back-to-back home Ashes series and a first series victory in India in 27 years.

“The thought of not sharing the dressing room again with some of my team-mates was the hardest part of my decision,” the 33-year-old Cook said, “but I know the timing is right.”

Cook has endured a lean summer at the top of the order for England, averaging only 15.57 in seven innings against India.

But he stands sixth in the all-time list of leading test run-scorers, just above West Indies great Brian Lara, and needs 147 at The Oval to move past Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara in fifth place.

“He’s probably not the most naturally gifted cricketer,” former England captain Alec Stewart said, “there will be others with far more natural talent that haven’t got the mental strength.

“The combination of what Cook has,

both talent and mental strength, has meant he’s played for a very long time and has broken every single record going.”

Cook, who will play next summer for English county Essex, made his test debut in March 2006 as a late replacement for Michael Vaughan and made an unbeaten 104 in the second innings.

He missed the third test of that series because of illness but hasn’t missed one since.

He will be remembered, among other things, for the graceful way he often tucked the ball off his hips for a single.

He had a rare ability to bat for long periods – he has five double-centuries in tests – without losing focus and concentration whatever the conditions.

And he almost always pulled out a big score when it was most needed, for the team and also for himself to get over dips in form.

Cook surpassed his own mentor, Graham Gooch, when he exceeded 8900 test runs three years ago and that meant so much.

As a 7-year-old, Cook lined up to get Gooch’s autograph outside Essex’s ground and they went on to become close friends.

England now faces the tough task of finding a replacement at the top of the order, with Cook having had 12 opening partners since Andrew Strauss’ retirement in 2012.

In brief Players in Aoraki team Ashburton College has had four players named in the Aoraki secondary school girls’ rugby team, alongside three players from Mount Hutt College. The Aoraki secondary school competition’s final was played last week, with the Ashburton College/Mt Hutt combined first XV going down to Craighead 20-10. This week the Aoraki team was named and there were seven Mid Canterbury girls in the mix – Aidan Elvines, Naomi Sooaemalelagi, Kate Donald and Naumai Terekia from Ashcoll, and Tyla Harraway, Tayla Barnaby and Caitlin Smith from Mt Hutt. The team plays in two mini tournaments, then in the South Island Secondary Schools’ tournament in Christchurch at the end of September.

One-game coach Leicester Tigers acted ruthlessly to sack head coach Matt O’Connor just one game into the new England Premiership season.

Time for Mo’unga to shine

BY PATRICK MCKENDRY Changes are coming for the All Blacks this week as they prepare to play Argentina in Nelson and one of the more straightforward, and interesting, selections will be for the No.10 jersey which will probably be given to Richie Mo’unga.

Beauden Barrett couldn’t have done much more in scoring four tries against Australia at Eden Park last time out and he was pretty good in Sydney the week earlier too.

But now it’s time for the All Blacks selectors to see what the 24-year-old Crusader can do at the start of a test.

Mo’unga isn’t likely to get that chance against the Springboks in Wellington next week, so, after running the water for his teammates in their last two tests now it’s time for him to alter the flow in a different and more meaningful way.

He wasn’t allowed to play for

Canterbury in the interim because of a high workload over the past two seasons relative to his age, but another reason would have been due to the risk of injury and the fact that this test at Trafalgar Park has his name written all over it.

There may be a temptation to start Damian McKenzie, who remains No.2 in the first-five pecking order.

But McKenzie offers such good value on the reserves bench, and was so good in finishing the demolition job on the Wallabies at Eden Park, that the selectors might opt to keep him there to provide a quality back-up and sense of security.

There aren’t too many more tests before the World Cup in which to start Mo’unga in a comfortable environment.

The return test against Argentina in Buenos Aires is a possibility but is a completely different prospect to playing in Nelson,

which leaves probably only the November tests against Japan in Tokyo and Italy in Rome as other options.

Everyone, including Mo’unga himself, knows he’s a talent, so now is probably the time to allow him to express himself because the alternative could lead to frustration.

“Richie is a younger player who in the last two or three years has had massive minutes,” assistant coach Ian Foster said yesterday in answering why Mo’unga wasn’t allowed to play for Canterbury.

“He’s had a big role at the Crusaders and has done that really well.

“He’s carried that on and had big minutes with Canterbury and has done that well. We felt for him it was a good chance to chill out and charge up.

“He’s an explosive athlete and … we thought he’d benefit from a break.”

Mo’unga, easily the best-per-

forming first-five in Super Rugby, has played only 11 minutes of test rugby – as a late replacement for McKenzie in the big win over France in Dunedin – but he has showed enough in leading the Crusaders to two titles, and the Barbarians to their narrow loss to the All Blacks at Twickenham in November, that he is not afraid of the big stage.

Foster acknowledged the selectors faced a balancing act this week.

“It’s what can we do this week that’s going to improve our game and take it to a slightly different level,” he said.

“We’ve seen some players grow by having a couple of games in a row and start to get a bit of consistency but we’ve got to balance that up with the fatigue

levels of playing international rugby and making sure whoever goes out there is at 100 per cent and can give it everything.”

Foster said Ryan Crotty and Sam Cane had trained well after their concussion incidents in Sydney and Auckland and remained on track to be available.

In brief

■ GREAT NORTHERN HURDLE

International flavour Champion jumps jockey Michael Mitchell has answered an SOS call from the other side of the world to take the ride on Gallante in Sunday’s Schweppes Great Northern Hurdle (4150m) at Te Aroha.

Mitchell, 27, hasn’t ridden in New Zealand for nearly two years, instead plying his trade around the globe, and the presence of the Englishman, who will fly in from the United States to ride a French and Australian Group One-winning flat galloper in the jumps feature, adds a real international flavour to the race.

Only last month, Mitchell guided Show Court to success in the G1 AP Smithwick Memorial (3300m) at Saratoga in the US, his second straight win in the race after securing his first American Grade One win on Swansea Mile 12 months earlier.

Mitchell’s booking for impressive last-start Te Aroha maiden hurdle winner Gallante came through Michelle Northcott, who has remained in regular contact with the jumps rider since he left New Zealand.

“Aaron Kuru loves this horse and has done a great job with him but he was booked for one of Paul Nelson’s so Michelle got in contact with Michael and he’s agreed to come,” trainer Graeme Rogerson said.

“He’s world-class now.

“He’s just won another big one in the United States and he won the jumps premiership and was jumps jockey of the year when he was riding for us.

“He’s won some big races for us.”

Mitchell’s biggest win in New

Bonneval set for Dato

Michael Mitchell will be aboard Gallante in the Schweppes Great Northern Hurdle on Sunday.

Zealand so far was in the 2015 Grand National Steeplechase (5600m) at Riccarton aboard the Brian and Shane Andertontrained High Forty, one of 22 races he won during the course of that winter.

Prepared by Rogerson, his wife Debbie and granddaughter Bailey, Gallante will be Mitchell’s sixth ride in the Great Northern Hurdle, a race he came closest to winning when second aboard Raisafuasho at Ellerslie in 2016.

“We think he’s flying,” Rogerson said of the dual Group Onewinning galloper.

“He’s a tough horse.

“He doesn’t like being hit with the stick but he’s been going to Ann Browne’s and Ann said to me he’s a natural.

“But he can put in a short one and a long one.

“He works up Brownes’ hill like a trooper. He pulls all the way up and he’s still pulling at the top too.

“The jumping has turned him around mentally.”

Gallante’s 16 3/4-length maiden hurdle triumph at Te Aroha last month was his first win since the 2016 Gr.1 Sydney Cup (3200m) at Randwick.

Mitchell will also ride the Peter and Jessica Brosnan-trained Old Countess in the Irvines Great Northern Steeplechase (6400m) at Te Aroha and Wilijonmcbride and Suffice To Say on the undercard.

Dual New Zealand Horse of the Year Bonneval has arrived safely in Melbourne and is set to kickoff her spring campaign in the Gr.2 Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley on Saturday. It will be the Makfi mare’s first start since last year’s Melbourne spring carnival, where she was victorious in the Dato first-up before going on to win the Gr.1 Underwood Stakes (1600m) at Caulfield. She was ruled out of the autumn because of a suspensory ligament strain and co-trainer Andrew Forsman said he is looking forward to Bonneval’s return on Saturday. “She might be half a run short but I’m fairly confident that she won’t be far away.”

In brief

■ TOURNAMENT ROUNDUP

Golfers miss their target

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Ashburton College’s golf team’s shot at national glory has fallen short.

Playing in the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Golf Championships in Palmerston North the team of Brent Kirdy, Wilson Hii, Josh Ackerley and Brayden Wood had a tough day at the office on Monday, ending up 16th out of 16 teams.

The championships were a one-day, 36-hole event, with Ackerley producing the team’s best performances, shooting an 83 and an 86.

While the team was done, Ackerley was staying on to compete in the New Zealand Under-19 Championships.

Meanwhile, down in Dunedin it was better news for the Ashburton College A netball team, with two wins from two outings on day one ensuring they’d finish in the top 16.

They beat Mt Aspiring College 43-21 before taking out a nailbiter against Otago Girls’ High School 34-33, and a win over Nelson College yesterday morning would have seen them top their pool, but they went down 41-28.

They then took on Rangiora in their first cross-pool game yesterday afternoon and lost 40-25.

In the netball tournament’s C grade, Mt Hutt College picked up two wins on day one – beating Rolleston College 25-20 and East Otago 38-11.

Yesterday they beat Cheviot 3029 and Aparima College 23-19.

In Blenheim at the Gary Snowden tournament, the Ashburton College football girls’ 1st XI played well in their first game, coming away with a 3-3 draw against Villa Maria, with Amy Pearson nabbing a hat-trick for the Ashburton side.

Their second game against Avonside Girls’ High School was neck and neck early on and Avon-

Treloar worries Eagles West Coast coach Adam Simpson admits he’ll feel a slightly worried if Collingwood select star midfielder Adam Treloar for Saturday night’s qualifying final at Optus Stadium. Treloar hasn’t played since injuring both hamstrings during the Magpies’ round 14 win over Carlton in June. The 25-yearold has returned to full training and is pushing for an AFL recall this week. “He’s an A-grade midfielder,” Simpson said of Treloar. “He breaks the lines and he hits the scoreboard so there’s definitely some worries if he plays.”

Watford on the charge Watford’s win over Tottenham Hotspur has reinforced the belief they can beat anyone in the Premier League, but midfielder Christian Kabasele has warned his teammates not to get carried away with their fast start. Watford beat title contenders Spurs 2-1 for a fourth victory from as many games that has left them third in the table behind Liverpool and Chelsea. “We need to keep this spirit, because we can beat anybody, but we can also lose against anybody,” Belgian Kabasele said.

Sharapova knocked out The Ashburton College junior boys’ rugby side takes a break from their tournament in Queenstown to pose for a photograph in front of the snow-capped mountains.

PHOTO SUPPLIED side led 2-1 at half-time.

Despite struggling with dismal weather and fatigue the Ashburton girls levelled it at 2-all, but Avonside ran away with it from there, winning 6-2.

Up the front for Ashburton Pearson once again shone scoring both goals, with fantastic linking and attacking from Maggie Tarry, while down the other end Gemma Taylor played well in the goal, saving many other shots.

In Invercargill, at the Audrey Timlin Memorial Tournament the Ashburton College girls’ hockey first XI had a second loss late on day one, going down 3-1 to Craighead, with Kate Donald scoring their sole goal off a penalty corner.

They played Cashmere yesterday afternoon and were unlucky not to score in what was an even game, going down 1-0, with two pool play games remaining today.

In Timaru at the Johnson Cup, the Ashburton College boys’ first XV hockey side went down 3-0 to Taradale High School on Monday night, spending a lot of time on defence and unable to convert the chances they did get in the second half.

Yesterday they took on Hutt Valley High School and the game ended in a 1-all draw, with both goals coming indirectly from first-half penalty corners and neither team able to break the deadlock in the second half.

In Queenstown at the Rural

Livestock Junior Rugby tournament, Ashburton College followed up a loss in their first game with a win in their second, beating Wakatipu High School 33-14, but lost to Waimea 19-12 yesterday morning.

Meanwhile in Ashburton, in the Chris Arthur Cup hockey tournament for girls’ second XI sides, after two games each it was Christchurch Girls’ High School and St Cuthbert’s College on top of pool A, and St Margaret’s College and Westlake Girls’ High School on top of pool B. Tomorrow, the Schick Southern Cup basketball tournament will get under way at the EA Networks Centre, with the Ashburton College senior boys’ first game set to be against Cashmere B at 8.30am.

Carla Suarez Navarro has celebrated her 30th birthday in style by ending Maria Sharapova’s unbeaten record in night session matches at the US Open to book a quarter-final berth. The Spanish 30th seeed took advantage of an error-prone Sharapova to secure a 6-4 6-3 victory. “It’s the first time I’ve played this year at night. I’m very happy because I played a good match,” Navarro said. - AAP

DeChambeau takes Dell Cameron Smith has squandered a chance to win the Dell Technologies Championship in Boston but has cemented his status as Australia’s best hope to finally win the $10 million FedExCup title. For consecutive tournaments, 25-yearold Smith finished third behind the in-form Bryson DeChambeau as the American cruised to his second play-offs victory in as many starts.

■ TENNIS

Millman stuns Federer Roger Federer served poorly.

Closed poorly, too.

And now he’s gone, beaten at the US Open by an opponent ranked outside the top 50 for the first time in his career.

Looking slow and tired on a sweltering night in Arthur Ashe Stadium, the No. 2-seeded Federer double-faulted 10 times, failed to convert a trio of set points and lost 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (7), 7-6 (3) in the fourth round to John Millman in a match that began Monday and concluded at nearly 1 am on Tuesday.

It’s only the second time in Federer’s past 14 appearances at the US Open that he’s lost before the quarterfinals. He is, after all, a fivetime champion at the tournament, part of his men’s-record haul of 20 Grand Slam titles.

“I have so much respect for Roger and everything he’s done for the game. He’s been a hero of mine, and today he was definitely not at his best,” Millman said, “but, you know, I’ll take it.”

So much for that highly anticipated matchup

between Federer and 13-time major champion Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals.

Instead, it’ll be the 55th-ranked Millman, an Australian who had never made it past the third round at a Slam until last week, taking on No. 6 seed Djokovic.

Millman was adamant he would not be intimidated by Federer, and perhaps was helped by having spent time practising together a few months ago ahead of the grass-court portion of this season.

Still, this was a stunner.

Maybe the 75 per cent humidity played a role. Millman’s big rips on groundstrokes didn’t help matters.

As the unforced errors mounted, Federer’s wife, Mirka, couldn’t bear to look, placing her forehead on her hands in the guest box in the stands.

Federer hung his head at a changeover, a little black fan pointed right at his face, but noth- A dejected Roger Federer courtside after he was beaten by John Millman.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): If you enjoy wholesome things, you don’t have to choose between a good reputation and a good time. Of course, most people need some spice on their vegetables.

This explains the afternoon.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): If it’s Venus who lends the special stardust of super-attraction, then the lady of the sky practically empties her purse over you today. You’re so attractive that you need to wield that power responsibly.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): How important is it to you that the ones you share space with also share your aesthetic sense? Important enough for you to get bothered over a little something tonight.

Be cool, be nice, and it all gets worked out.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): There’s nothing that will make you feel more loved than someone listening to you, really giving you their full attention instead of just waiting for their turn to talk.

Humour, fun and play all start with listening.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Your heart is hungry. Feed it by seeking to connect with quality people.

Romance comes to your life like a cat. Chase it and it runs away. Ignore it and it purrs at your feet.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Your inner drive for material success will connect you with others who either want the same thing, or who can provide it. If there’s one thing that will help, it’s a philosophical acceptance of life and its many changing states.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Does it feel like opposing forces are fighting for your soul? More likely it’s just a sign that you could do more to help yourself follow your own rules. Is there a way to be happier with what’s good for you?

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You’re on a social hot streak. Work the phone, throw a party, take advantage of your popularity. The best relationships start with a solid basis of friendship.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ll appreciate the range of people in your life today. Some folks are a party, some a dirge, and most are a mixed bag of spoils. No one is better than another, and all have their proper place in your scene.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Self-criticism can be constructive if you’re fair and if you focus on what you want to improve. Self-bullying isn’t the same thing. Recognise the difference.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’re usually the giver, so when loved ones take care of you for a change today, it will feel a little strange.

Allow it anyway. Balance must be restored.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Mentally trade viewpoints with those you want to influence. What’s in it for them? Ask this over and over, as the first answers are likely to be only a small part of the entire dynamic.

ACROSS 2. What publisher writes is unclear picture of book initially (5) 5. Credit will go like clockwork, one is told (4) 7. Ensign may have a cigarette around end of meal (4) 8. Walked all over the cargo boat and went ahead (8) 9. A couple allowed to have a piece of jewellery (8) 11. Class of record known to the police (4) 12. Ease of handling Malaya: begin it like this (13) 15. Starts fitting lintels under every smoke outlet (4) 17. Thinks back on how Mirror behaves? (8) 19. Thing ref will wave to give one a scare (8) 21.

Venus to line up in ASB Classic Seven-time Grand Slam singles champion Venus Williams (right) is returning to Auckland for the ASB Classic.

Williams has three times been ranked the number one player in the world and has captured 49 WTA singles titles, the second most of any

active player (behind sister Serena), 14 major doubles titles and four Olympic Gold Medals.

The 38-year-old is currently ranked 16th in the world and captured the Auckland title in 2015 after reaching the final the previous year.

She played in Auckland for four straight years before skipping this year’s event to take part in the Sydney International.

“It’s great to have Venus back.

“She has been a special part of this tournament for

a number of years and we missed her this year,” said ASB Tournament Director Karl Budge.

“She is still at the top of the game and how good would it be if she could capture career title number 50 here in Auckland.”
