Harmful digital charge dismissed Memories triggered P15

A charge laid under the Harmful Digital Communications Act and understood to be one of the first in the country to go to trial has been dismissed by an Ashburton District Court judge.

The defendant, who has name suppression, had denied a charge of sending a digital image with intent to cause emotional harm.

The matter was heard before Judge John Strettell in the Ashburton District Court yesterday, where it emerged the defendant and the complainant had

She left personal effects at the Mid Canterbury rural property the couple had previously shared and went to stay elsewhere.

Don’t pay, walk away

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It might be confusing but if in doubt – do nothing, don’t pay, walk away.

Free parking on Ashburton’s East Street has arrived, but its arrival has beaten the clean-up job on the failed pay and display parking meters.

The official line on East Street parking from the Ashburton District Council is that it is now free for the first 60 minutes. The street signs tell the true story and the out-of-date parking meters are now just street furniture The one hour free parking was achieved after ‘healthy’ debate between Ashburton district councillors and inner town retailers who believed the faulty pay and display machines were turning shoppers away.

They made presentations to the council putting their case.

The council listened and the free parking deal was struck.

The changeover is now under way.

Having the meters in place might confuse some people but the message is clearly displayed on both street signs and the meters that parking is now free for the first 60 minutes, council service delivery manager Neil McCann said.

And even if people felt compelled to slip money in the slot, the machine will simply not accept the money, the pay slot has been sealed, he said.

The machines, however, will not be removed at this stage. That exercise is too costly, Mr McCann said.

Parking domes will be installed in each parking slot within two weeks. They will be activated when a vehicle parks. Once 60 minutes have passed the electronic dome sends a signal to parking wardens who will then issue a parking infringement notice on the over-parked vehicle.

Funds come in, but more needed The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade has raised nearly $140,000 towards extending its fire museum.

The brigade has a target of $300,000, which will cover a new building and fit-out, and is hoping their Fireman’s Ball on October 8 will provide another boost.

The Ashburton brigade has one of the best heritage collections of firefighting equipment in the country and its existing museum at the Plains historic precinct in Tinwald will be extended to better house and dis-

play the collection.

Although there are larger collections, Ashburton’s is believed to be the most complete collection of any individual volunteer fire brigade in the country and begins with the very first shoulder yoke and canvas buckets that started the brigade back in 1874.

The new museum will be interactive and depict how firefighting has evolved over nearly 150 years. The 1889 Shand Mason steam horse-drawn appliance is the jewel in the collection having just the one owner since new. It is

in full operating order, one of just a few worldwide.

The original museum was built in the mid-1970s with the help of community donations and 40 years on the community is responding to the call once again.

The extension will adjoin the original building and treble the museum’s size.

The project needs $229,000 to get under way, with the rest tagged for the fit-out.

The ball will be held at the Ashburton Racecourse. Tickets and tables are still available.

From P1 Police were notified and took copies of the questionable messages.

Methven-based senior police constable Mike Seque gave evidence of seeing a smouldering rubbish drum when he visited the defendant later that day, however he was unable to identify the nature of the contents.

Defence lawyer Paul Bradford said a conviction based on the facts would have “draconian implications” which could see the courts flooded with such cases, and have serious consequences

for freedom of speech.

“Whether we like it or not it’s a fundamental right to give offence,” Bradford said.

He said the digital harm legislation was crafted specifically to deal with so-called revenge porn (in the wake of the Roastbusters investigation).

Judge Strettell said the issue at hand was not whether the belongings were destroyed, but whether the defendant’s intention of sending the message was to cause serious emotional distress.

The Harmful Digital Communi-

cations Act was not aimed at cases like this he said, rather it aimed to strike a balance between freedom of expression and the need to challenge bullying and protect people who were under attack.

The image was part of a private message and not distributed on public social media forums.

Judge Strettell said the prosecution had failed to prove the intent was to cause serious emotional harm in sending the image.

“I find there is no case to answer,” he said, before ordering name suppression and dismissing the case.

Land banked for civic extension

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Years of careful planning saw successive Ashburton local authorities buy land against the extensions needed to the district’s civic building says retired mayor Geoff Geering.

An extension, rather than a relocation was always believed to be the future of the civic building, Geering said.

Following the 1989 amalgamation of Ashburton’s borough and county councils the new district

council with its much larger staff had managed to work pretty well out of the current civic building, Geering said.

“We were always aware that at some stage there would need to be an extension or a new building and that’s why they bought two or three houses adjacent to the civic building to protect it for the future.”

The existing site appeared to have been dropped well down the list with consultants, current staff and councillors, he said.

“The building isn’t perfect, it

never was but it’s useable and I’m pretty disappointed that it seems the current council doesn’t want a bar of this.”

Geering favours restoring and extending the existing council building and said there were a range of reasons, including parking and the availability of land the council already owned.

“Those sections were bought with an eye to the future.

“And that’s an indication that even though our council may have been a bit conservative over the

years, we did look to the future.”

He also questioned the current practice of employing consultants for community projects. “You get much better results with local decisions made by local people. I know you need specialist input but it worries me when outsiders lose sight of what’s important locally.”

Too often, when a lead was given by consultants, the community felt it had to go along with this because they were perceived as the experts with all the knowledge, he said.

He did not agree that the library

and civic building needed to be linked or within the one space; while the existing library might leak, as far as location went it was ideal, he said.

Geering was elected to the Borough Council in 1974 and became the town’s mayor in 1977. He served four terms as the last mayor of the borough and then became mayor of the Ashburton District when the borough and county councils merged in 1989 retaining his mayoralty until he retired at the 1995 election.

School reclaims library

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@atheguardian.co.nz

When the school year ends, Hampstead School will have welcomed its largest ever intake of new entrants.

That steady inflow of youngsters, however, has had principal Peter Melrose and his staff scrambling to provide enough classroom space to meet their ever-growing roll. Running out of space had become just part of school life, Melrose said.

On Friday, however, the school had cause to celebrate – it could finally reclaim its library after it had been turned into a classroom of desperation for a year three class.

Those students are now happily settled in a new classroom and what had been a library-in-a-box

that had toured each class on a regular basis, had now been unpacked back onto the reclaimed library shelves, he said.

Roll growth could be unrelenting. While new entrant numbers were anticipated to come in around 77 for the year, indications were this would be well and truly topped, Melrose said.

“These are the biggest numbers we’ve had, but we just take it in our stride and react to what’s coming in the door.”

That could mean the temporary reprieve for the library might be just that as the school could be out of classroom space again before the end of the school year.

“We do lose a large number at the end of the year, however, so that might help,” he said.

The South Canterbury branch opted to work with the Ashburton Community Conservation Trust to assist in an ongoing project to return a block of land to its preEuropean state.

Work on restoring the rare remnant of kanuka has been ongoing since the 1970s thanks to a visionary local farmer, the late Arthur Harris, who initially fenced off and protected a patch of the plant which once covered the Canterbury Plains.

■ WEATHER

In brief

Potent cold front coming Methven could be in for snow tomorrow when a wicked southerly is forecast to race up the country.

While temperatures dipped yesterday thanks to southwesterlies over the country, a potent cold front will plunge the district into even colder territory tomorrow.

MetService says the front will spearhead a period of gale southerlies affecting eastern regions of

both islands, and the capital. The polar air in behind the southerlies will bring a noticeable drop in temperature, back into winter-like conditions after a fairly mild start to spring. Most of the South Island can expect single digit highs on Thursday.

The combination of strong, cold southerlies and frontal precipitation is a recipe for snow to low levels. Current forecasts are for snow to 300m around South-

land, Otago, Canterbury and Marlborough, and 500m about parts of the North Island. Methven sits around 300m above sea level.

“To top it all off,” said MetService meteorologist Angus Hines, “significant and potentially damaging swells are going to charge up both sides of the country, starting Wednesday evening.

This will be most noticeable along the east coast, where such

swells are uncommon.” Those waiting for more sunshine will need to wait until the end of the week; a ridge of high pressure extends over the country on Friday.

However, due to the polar air which has been dragged over New Zealand earlier in the week, temperatures will remain cool.

Overnight lows will be especially chilly, and frosts are likely to develop in sheltered areas across both islands.

Death now a homicide inquiry A blunt instrument is believed to have been used to kill Hamilton man Brent Paul Brown in his Dinsdale home last week.

Waikato Police have launched a homicide investigation into the 45-year-old’s death after a post-mortem showed he had multiple injuries, but the cause of the death was inconclusive.

Brown was found dead at a house in Poaka Ave in Dinsdale last Wednesday night.

Detective Inspector Hywel Jones believed a blunt instrument was used to attack Brown.

Police are still looking for the weapon and are carrying out a forensic examination of the scene.

Police had spoken with the other people Brown lived with and were now appealing to anyone who many have seen Brown from Tuesday noon until about 11.45pm on Wednesday when his body was found.

Brown had a shaved head at the time of his death.

Anyone with any information can call Hamilton police on 07 858 6200 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Parenting workshop Former Ashburton police family violence co-ordinator sergeant Jim Sole will speak about the effect of parenting styles can have on developing minds later this month.

Sole, who has an in-depth knowledge of the longer term impact on children who witness family violence in any of its forms, will discuss stress management, the impact of yelling in front of and at children and the wider implications of family violence on brain development. Research has proved children, in particular babies, have an innate ability to pick up on adult anger and alter their behaviour in response to it. Parents of all ages are welcome to attend, however those with children up to 12 years of age are likely to gain the most.

Sole will be the keynote speaker at the Brainwave Trust event, to be held on September 28 in the Rakaia Room at Community House on the corner of Cass and Moore streets, starting at 7.30pm. Call Safer Ashburton on 308-1395 to reserve a place.

Dads got to ride free for the day and Sunday also kicked off the beginning of The Plains Railway 2016-2017 running season. This year also marks the 45th anniversary of the founding of The Plains Vintage Railway & Historical Museum.

Ashburton had near-record sunshine hours for August, with 190 hours recorded (132 per cent of normal). It was the fourth sunniest August since records began in Ashburton in 1930 and contributed to Ashburton having its sunniest winter ever with 539 hours of sunshine. Temperatures were generally chilly in the South Island in August, though rainfall and soil moisture were below normal for Mid Canterbury. June, July and August together were the third warmest winter on record for the country with wind and warmer sea surface temperatures to blame for the mild weather.

Storage pond plans notified gitata Diversion Race presents options for mitigating climate change for farmers, alongside environmental improvements as well as possible recreational and amenity opportunities. There is still a long way to go before any construction which is planned to start in 2018, but it is really positive to get to this stage.”

Curry said the lake will be designed to meet the highest possible standards.

Due to its scale and water holding potential, the Klondyke storage lake will be given a High Potential Impact Classification which means it needs to meet the most adverse loading conditions such as strongest possible expected earthquake at the site. It will need a building consent as well as resource consent, and the former requirement will involve an independent peer review process.

RDRML has already held four public forums over the past 18 months to introduce the proposal.

The resource consent process is likely to continue into 2017. If successful, construction could start as early as 2018 with a three to five year construction timeframe.

The closing of the Ashburton Art Gallery’s Anzac project, Our Name Liveth, Commemorating Our Fallen, was marked with a presentation about Lieutenant William Leefe Robinson.

Lieutenant Robinson was the first British pilot to shoot down a German airship over Britain dur-

ing the First World War on September 3, 1916.

The exhibition closed on Saturday, September 3, exactly 100 years after Lieutenant Robinson’s Victoria Cross earning shot.

The presentation was given by Kevin Soster, who has done extensive research for the talk, including visiting Lieutenant Robinson’s grave in Harrow Weald.

Soster also has family ties to Lieutenant Robinson.

The Anzac project began in April of 2016 and has lived in the foyer of the Ashburton Art Gallery.

The names of over 450 Mid Canterbury soldiers were listed from roof to floor and paper poppies made by the public were placed next to the names.

Consent for a large-scale Mid Canterbury water storage project has been publicly notified.

Rangitata Diversion Race Management Limited (RDRML) unveiled the proposal for the water storage facility near its Klondyke intake, on the northern bank of the Rangitata River, in February 2015 on land primarily already in its ownership.

The project, which could store up to 53 million cubic metres of water, has been under investigation for the past five years. As well as storing water for irrigation, the lake may be used to boost local stream flows and managed aquifer recharge (to increase and improve the quality of groundwater supply), and support recreation.

“The notification marks a significant milestone in the journey of the overall proposal”, RDRML CEO Ben Curry said.

“It is the result of a concentrated effort over the past two years from some of New Zealand’s top consultants.

“We all know that water is a vital resource and is critical to virtually all aspects of our lives and values.

Professional faces charges allegations were revealed.

Five male complainants allege that they were indecently assaulted by the man between January 2011 and December last year.

The man denies the allegations and has elected trial by jury.

Police yesterday said there had been a total of 12 complainants, but only 10 statements have been taken so far.

The court heard police have made contact with a group of clients identified as having had contact with the man.

Judge Kellar remanded the man on continued bail to a second case review hearing on November 14.

A Canterbury professional facing indecent assault charges has yesterday had five more clients come forward to allege that he inappropriately touched them.

The man, in his 60s, had an interim order banning publication of his name and occupation declined by a judge.

Suppression had been opposed by police and the media.

However, his lawyer Paul Wicks QC indicated that he would appeal Judge Paul Kellar’s decision to the High Court.

Until the appeal is confirmed, the media is unable to publish the accused’s name.

■ UNITED STATES

Election day looming

BY ALBERT HUNT The US presidential campaign seems to have been going on for an eternity.

The Labour Day holiday marks the start of the final stretch.

Here are some leading indicators to determine whether Donald Trump will make this a competitive contest or whether Hillary Clinton can build on her current advantage to open a more commanding lead.

Debates The initial forum is slated for September 27.

The event is being anticipated as a smack-down brawl between two candidates who show contempt for each other.

Each will try to bait the other.

Will either take the high road and rise above the insults?

There are two more scheduled presidential debates, on October 10 and 20, and a vicepresidential session on October 5.

Several of these events coincide with National Football League games, which could cut into the audience, a possibility that has drawn Trump’s ire.

If history is a guide, these showdowns are too hyped and won’t alter the basic contours of the race.

There are exceptions.

In 1976, President Gerald Ford took a hit after he mistakenly suggested that the Soviet Union-dominated Eastern Europe was free.

And in 1980, when the forum took place one week before the election, the challenger Ronald Reagan was able to reassure voters about his competence.

On two other occasions, the incumbent president – Reagan and Barack Obama – performed poorly in the initial debate, though the contests soon reverted to what they had been.

College-educated white voters Mitt Romney carried this bloc, about a third of the electorate, by 14 points in 2012.

Polls have shown Trump

Apology for dolphin pic Brie Larson has apologised for upsetting fans with a picture of a dolphin. The Room actress shared an old picture on Instagram of her rubbing one of the animals’ bellies, prompting a backlash of comments pointing out animal rights activists regard keeping the creatures in captivity to be cruel. She then amended the caption so it read: “I touched a dolphin’s belly while sporting a trucker hat in 2004. #noregrets #fbf EDIT: I do not support animal cruelty.(sic)” But the backlash continued, so the 26-yearold star shared another post in order to reassure her fans that she is concerned about animal welfare and is determined to speak up for those who “cannot speak for themselves”.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks at a campaign in Reno, Nevada last week.

PHOTO AP trailing with these voters by double digits.

He may do better than Romney with less-educated white voters, even as he gets trounced among non-whites who likely will account for a slightly larger slice of the electorate than in 2012.

Thus the Republican nominee can ill afford to lose college-educated voters, many of whom seem turned off by his invective and negativity.

Candidates If on October 21 the focus of the race is on Trump, he’s a goner; the same is probably true of Clinton.

Rarely have there been two presidential candidates as unpopular, so the trick for both is to keep the attention on the opponent.

The candidates’ schedule also may be revealing.

If either is campaigning in

states they’re expected to win – say Clinton in Michigan or Trump in Missouri – it means their base isn’t secure.

What’s equally crucial, though harder to assess, is how energised this core support is.

Will evangelicals deliver for a Republican candidate who before this election showed no cultural or political affinity with them?

Will blacks and Hispanics turn out for Clinton as they did for Obama?

She’s counting on Trump to deliver them to her column.

Young people will go decisively Democratic – Trump is anathema to them – but will they turn out to vote?

“With such a large pool of ambivalent or unenthusiastic voters, gauging turnout will be particularly problematic,” says Charles Cook, a leading expert on US elections. He projects a

high turnout because “the intensity of the hatred” for one or the other candidate “is so high among so many that the option of refraining from voting at all seems abhorrent”.

October surprise Every presidential election is rife with suggestions of a lastminute development that will shake up the race.

It almost never occurs.

Yet both sides are preparing for a possible terrorist attack, a health problem or a really big, new scandal. If one could anticipate the likelihood, it wouldn’t be a surprise.

Finally, be a discerning pollwatcher. Some of the better brand-name surveys are pretty reliable; be more leery of others.

If any candidate declares, “The only poll that counts is the poll on election day,” that politician is facing defeat. - AP

Since 2013, when the group announced its formation, it has had territory bordering a

Nato state – Turkey – but the sweep by Turkish forces and rebels fighting under the umbrella of the Free Syrian Army has brought that to an end.

According to the official Turkish news agency Anadolu, the Turkish Army helped Syrian rebel allies to secure 90km of border territory stretching from the Syrian towns of Azaz and Jarabulus by forcibly ejecting the mili-

tants from a string of villages yesterday.

Isis’ defeat in the border area had been inevitable since Turkey dispatched troops and tanks into Syria on August 24 to support a long-stalled Syrian rebel offensive there, bringing new muscle to the fight.

But their removal from the border nonetheless marks a symbolically important mo-

ment in the war against the militants, who had long relied on their access to Turkey for supplies.

Above all, the border had served as the main conduit for the foreign fighters who have swarmed to participate in the militants’ ambitious experiment in Islamic governance, formalised in 2014 into what the group’s leadership termed a caliphate.

Noa still whining Despite splitting from Jennifer Lopez almost 20 years ago, the star’s first husband is still finding it hard to let go.

Ojani Noa, who has made a career talking about his famous ex, made headlines last year when he threatened to release a sex tape of the star whom he married in 1997 and who he split from barely a year later.

And while the sex tape never publicly materialised, the former waiter is back on US television, still telling all and sundry about that time he was married to Lopez.

“I was looking forward to being with her for the rest of my life. It didn’t happen,” Noa said. “She made the choice of her career instead of me.”

Police numbers don’t tell real story Sue Newman

CHIEF REPORTER

P

olice might be committed to a new policy where every burglary is treated as a priority crime, but how that pans out in practice may be very different.

For years there’s been a growing concern that overworked police were forced to push burglaries well down their priority list.

In Ashburton it is not uncommon to hear people say it’s not worth reporting a relatively small burglary because nothing will happen. No-one will attend and the exercise will end up as one of frustration for the owner of the missing goods.

Quite simply we don’t have sufficient police to attend to every call that comes in. Our local cops echo that sentiment.

The numbers might be right on paper, but where it’s different in the south, is that our population of 35,000 could be just one policing area of Auckland where bodies are crammed into a few square kilometres. That’s vastly different here, where one call-out could involve an hour or two of travel.

Calls come into police communications, but if there is no-one available to attend an incident then no-one goes. And that leads to endless frustration for the community and stress for the cops.

And the media gets hammered over this one too. The explosion of social media means everyone knows everything about anything that’s going on. If it involves emergency services then it’s of even higher interest and quite often the facts have very little to do with what’s actually happening in the real world.

For media to get the real story, facts and all, it requires co-operation and conversations with the police.

Achieving that is often incredibly difficult. It’s difficult to track down the cops you need when you need them. They’re either out on a job or off-shift and no-one can fill in the missing information spaces.

And you can understand when they’re under the pump with calls backed up, the media are low priority.

It’s a vicious cycle. Until there are enough of them out there to have the time to talk to the media, they won’t get the good press they deserve for doing the good work they do.

They’ll just get slammed when something goes wrong.

YOUR VIEW Civic centre It was interesting to read Murray Anderson’s letter September 3.

At last we have someone speaking common-sense and suggesting options that not only may be affordable, but also allow some of our heritage to survive.

To even consider placing a new civic centre on the site of the old county council and Methodist Church site belies commonsense. Is it not about time our district councillors and district council staff started living in the real world and stopped proffering their expensive and elite ideas.

When amalgamation was accepted and adopted we were all advised that savings would accrue. At that time I myself was a councillor and, as did many, believed that notion. Since that time all that has changed is the size of the staff at the ADC. As I suggested to a past CEO some time ago, once amalgamation had settled the empire building began.

In the early days of amalgama-

CRUMB

tion you could phone, write, or visit the ADC and have your query answered without the need to involve consultants. Where have all the people gone that used to make decisions and stand behind them? Only God knows.

It is my clear belief that the existing building should be extended on the present site and every effort made to reduce staff wastage at ADC and attempt to live within their means. If we look to the future as Murray suggests we will find that technology will provide a lot of options that may not require such a large work force.

Kelvin McTague ***** Last week I submitted a letter to the editor stating the council and library project should be halted until after the local election due to the make-up of the council being very different.

Having had the opportunity to view the options put forward, I have further concerns about the

by David Fletcher

public consultation process, in particular, that Opus is influencing the survey, its client and the public, by stating a preferred option.

Also, contrary to what is being stated, in material presented to the public, this is not an urban design project, it’s an exercise in locating buildings. Furthermore, proposals suggesting works beyond the site boundaries are speculative.

While it’s recognised that council’s existing buildings have to meet quake standards within a certain time, questions should be asked as to why this project is being rushed through, especially given the volume of information the public are required to digest in order to reach an informed decision. Fair to say, it’s unrealistic to expect a broad range of views given turn-out will be low as it was with round one.

This is not a simple project. It’s expensive and will have a big impact on the appearance of the town centre.

Correspondingly, it will also have an impact on the public’s sense of place because buildings are iconic symbols that represent particular values throughout time.

Over the past 25 years, the flippant attitude towards Ashburton’s building heritage has had a detrimental impact on many, however, my concern is, that now apathy is the new standard, the perception exists that anything’s acceptable, at any cost, but with minimal, if any, accountability.

With regards to the preferred option, I ask why the consultants are restricting their focus to existing site boundaries when in this case, as it was with the Heritage Centre, it’s perfectly feasible to include the street as part of the building site? But as with previous projects, consultants will only do what the brief requires.

This project is significant enough that it should be halted until after the new council is elected.

ecently within Federated Farmers we got asked to comment on whether we felt there should be any changes to the Statistics New Zealand’s annual production census.

I believe there was a review happening and our policy staff were keen on feedback as to what farmers thought.

It is fair to say it generated some conversation amongst us all.

Feedback we received included: “What a pain in the rear end the survey was, whether it was really that accurate and why can’t they pull the information from somewhere else.”

This conversation got me thinking again on one of my pet hates; the amount of duplication is out there with farmers needing to provide data to companies and agencies.

Now, all these organisations that collect data likely think they’re only asking for a little bit of data which will only take a few minutes. So, what’s the problem?

The problem is when you add up all those requests for data, it becomes a bit of a mountain.

Now for example when I think about the number of organisations or companies that want to know quite simply how many cows I have, it is actually quite a list.

My dairy company wants to know so it can plan for milk production and then again for nitrogen recording. NAIT wants that information because that’s what they’re about. Statistics New Zealand wants to know.

My fertiliser company wants to know for nutrient budgeting purposes and the Overseer computer program wants to know, which unfortunately doesn’t inform the dairy company’s nitrogen recording requirements.

Continuing on, my regional council wants to know for consent purposes, several times for effluent consents and then stock drinking water consents.

My accountant wants to know, because IRD wants to know, and so I need to enter it into my accountancy software.

Beef and Lamb want to know so I get my allowed number of votes.

Finally I actually want to know, because it’s a useful piece of information to have for feed

Now chances are that none of those numbers that have been provided to all in sundry likely exactly match with other.

The one that is the most accurate, and actually contains the most amount of data is of course my herd management software.

That information provides me with data I want and need so I can keep accurate records.

Wouldn’t life be simpler if I could just tick a box somewhere that would allow that info to automatically go to all the rest

if I agreed to it. Not only would all those other people get more accurate information from me, but it would be a whole lot less hassle.

Farmers are increasingly under more demands for more info for various customer assurances or just to keep the public at large happy.

My view is that if everyone wants this info from us they need to get serious about using the technology that exists and start making life easier for farmers.

■ NEW ZEALAND ECONOMY

Commodity prices rise in August New Zealand commodity prices rose for a fourth month in August as the rebound in dairy continued, although a strong kiwi dollar limited gains for local producers.

The ANZ Commodity Price Index increased 3.2 per cent in August and was up 11 per cent from a year earlier, led by higher prices for dairy, seafood, meat and aluminium products.

In New Zealand dollar terms, prices rose 1.9 per cent in August, but were down 0.5 per cent from a year ago as the strong kiwi stifles export returns.

Dairy prices led the index higher, up 8.3 per cent in August a 10-month high. That was led by an 11 per cent gain in whole milk powder, New Zealand’s biggest commodity export, a 9.7 per cent rise in cheese prices, a 4.8 per cent increase in casein and a 4.5 per cent lift in butter.

“Slowing milk supply across key exporting regions,

tight end of season New Zealand inventories and increased demand from China have been the main drivers,” ANZ Bank New Zealand agri economist Con Williams said in a note.

Global dairy prices have recovered from a trough earlier this year, prompting Fonterra Co-operative Group to raise its forecast payout to farmers, and the NZX futures market indicates they could rise again at this week’s GlobalDairyTrade auction.

Other commodity prices to gain were seafood which rose 1.7 per cent, a 1.1 per cent increase in meat prices and a 0.7 per cent rise in aluminium. Wool prices increased 1.8 per cent.

Horticulture prices fell 3 per cent with European conditions challenging and increased competition from Chile, while forestry prices were down 0.8 per cent on cheaper logs and wood pulp.

Kiwis don’t trust colleagues The majority of New Zealanders have had their trust broken at work and most don’t believe their co-workers have their back.

Jobs website Seek conducted research on trust in the workplace and found only 31 per cent of New Zealanders trusted all of their colleagues.

Fifty-four per cent of people have had their trust broken by a colleague and people who have had their trust broken were significantly less likely to trust their co-workers.

Hearing workmates say negative things about others was the top reason to lack trust in the workplace, the survey found.

The “political” nature of the work environment, like secrecy, favouritism and strategic game playing, was the second biggest reason to not trust your co-workers.

General manager of Seek NZ Janet Faulding said the number of people who trusted all their colleagues was surprisingly high.

Faulding said 17 per cent of people trusted everyone in their company. She said this was surprising given that a lot of people worked closely with just a handful of colleagues.

“It is interesting to see the Seek research highlight that only 22 per cent of employees trust col-

leagues more senior than them, which could prove challenging for leaders who are trying to motivate and guide teams.

“Encouragingly 37 per cent of employees in New Zealand said they trust colleagues at the same level as themselves.”

Junior colleagues were most likely not to be trusted, with 4 per cent of people surveyed saying they were more likely to trust junior colleagues.

The survey was conducted by Survey Sampling International with 4000 New Zealanders interviewed and data weighted to be nationally representative.

■ AIRLINES

Pay soars for region’s bosses Airline chiefs on both sides of the Tasman have seen pay leap as carriers make record profits.

Air New Zealand chief executive Christopher Luxon’s total remuneration has reached $4.7 million.

Luxon got a $70,000 pay rise to his base fixed salary during the past year to $1.47m after the airline made record profits and $120,000 in superannuation.

He was paid a short-term bonus of $1.62 million compared with $1.54 million in 2015 and under the long-term incentive plan he received performance right shares worth a total $808,500 compared with $770,000 the prior year.

In addition, under a six-year restricted share rights plan started this year aimed as a further incentive to retain his services for a long time, Luxon will receive share rights based on half his fixed pay.

The amount is at the board’s discretion and is tied to meeting performance hurdles. Vesting rights for the shares only kick in if he remains with the airline at vesting periods between 2017 and 2021.

The restricted share rights granted this year were worth $700,000.

According to the accounts, Luxon owns or has a beneficial interest in 1.67 million shares but has

to retain 618,504 as a mandatory shareholding in order to exercise any options of performance rights under his long-term incentive scheme.

• Alan Joyce at Qantas got a $A1 million ($1.04m) pay rise this year to a total $A12.96 million after turning around the Australian airline’s fortunes.

Staff of both airlines not on incentive schemes were paid big bonuses too.

• Virgin Australia’s John Borghetti was paid $A3.7 million statutory pay share options stirring some pushback from shareholders after his airline plunged to an $A225 million full-year loss.

Merino and mid micron wools have fared slightly better on low supplies.

MARKET REPORT Dairy Temperatures have lifted with the arrival of the new month, but the apprehension remains about the lack of soil moisture reserves as the spring weather forecasts predict conditions to be drier and warmer than normal.

Pastures are greening and growth rates lifting, as short-term feed supplies look adequate for immediate stock requirements on the first rotation.

Urea is being applied to ensure the pasture growth momentum continues well into the spring. Good utilisation with the dry conditions has seen most managers happy with how they are tracking.

Groundwater supplies are lower than normal and would be worse if the Central Plains Water system was not spelling the aquifers and utilising surplus river run water.

Also giving optimism is the milk market, with Westland lifting this year’s forecast by 20c to $4.55-$4.95/kg ms. Analysts note premiums in milk futures and are looking for more upside in this week’s auction results.

Oceania milk prices have followed and are now closing in on yearly highs in $US terms, although the high NZ currency has restricted these returns at the farm gate.

The mystery of the missing 500 cows in Mid Canterbury remains unsolved and puts into question the integrity of the NAIT scheme if so many animals can go missing and be untraceable.

Calf rearers have been made aware of a new disease called VTEC that can be transmitted to humans from sick calves and handlers are urged to take extra care with personal hygiene when handling these animals.

Lamb Stable lamb schedules this week, as the market is quiet due to lack of supply, although negotiations are under way for the Northern Hemisphere chilled lamb requirements.

Processors are hopeful despite the currency they can achieve prices similar to last year.

But with plentiful supplies in the UK post Brexit and continuing uncertainty,

what values can be achieved after the November 7 chilled shipping deadline, is still uncertain.

Schedule prices are $13/hd behind last year for a 17.5kg lamb and highlight the soft market at present and many will be nervous as where values will be, once the processing highs build.

Wool This week’s North Island wool sale was again weaker, and fine and coarse crossbred wool indicators dropped to yearly lows.

The trend of lack of Chinese activity continues and with the mild winter producing a quality wool offering failing to attract a lift and the currency still stubbornly high, nerves will be starting on how the summer fleece will fare.

Merino and mid micron wools have fared slightly better on low supplies, but overall farmers will be disappointed with how their product has been selling.

Beef Beef schedules were stable again this week. Despite low demand for imported US beef, the lack of supply out of Australia and NZ has kept the market settled.

Processors are pessimistic there will be little change in the US market when NZ starts producing its manufacturing product again late in the year, but are more optimistic about prime beef prospects into Asia.

Saleyard prime beef has finally breached $3/kg but values are still well behind last year, although store stock buyers are much more optimistic in their pricing. Spring feed supplies could see a sharp readjustment if another dry period arrives.

Deer One processor lifted schedules this week as shortages of animals continues to challenge the market. Kill numbers for July are nearly 40 per cent behind last year and some believe August figures will be even worse. These shortages have enabled the prices to lift despite the negative effects of the currency.

Police team focuses Cathedrals and on alleged cow theft

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

A team of police officers based at the Ashburton station are focusing solely on the alleged theft of 500 dairy cattle from a farm in the Lagmhor district.

Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield said there was a significant amount of information to be worked through, but would not be drawn on any leads police were investigating.

The missing animals were part of a 1350-cow herd owned by the Norvo company.

According to the Companies Office the registered shareholders are Linda Pike, Peter and Margaret Ormsby and Troy and Michele Hinton-Bosch.

The Ormsby’s daughter Pennie Saunders is the administrator of Norvo Farm. Her husband Mark is also a dairy farmer.

At the time the cows were re-

ported missing they were grazing on a neighbouring winter run-off block and coming back on to the milking platform as they calved.

Surplus feed and low calf numbers alerted the Saunders to the problem, former Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers president and local dairy farmer Willy Leferink told the Guardian on Tuesday.

“These people are good farmers, they had a feed budget in place but it wasn’t getting eaten,” he said.

Speculation has been swirling since news of the missing cows was aired on social media channels last week.

The logistics of moving such a large number of animals has been pored over. The most common assumption is that the pregnant cattle were spirited away in small mobs.

Despite some criticism over the police response, the Saunders

have defended the investigation to date.

The cattle were insured but not for theft which would hike the premiums to unaffordable levels, a victim of stock rustling last summer said.

David and Jill Quigley lost 37 inmilk cattle in December last year, 19 cows vanished from a Hinds dairy farm around the same time, as did 52 friesian bull calves from an Alford Forest farm.

In 2014 a spate of stock rustling in the Rakaia district resulted in the loss of 120 sheep and up to 70 cattle in three separate incidents.

Federated Farmers say stock thefts cost New Zealand farmers upward of $120 million each year, but the majority go unreported.

Police have urged farmers and others travelling through rural areas to remain vigilant and note the details of any suspicious vehicles.

Down a dead-end track behind the Yorkshire village of Stillingfleet four men are hard at work perfecting their ploughing techniques under the watchful eye of Methven farmer Bruce Redmond, ahead of the world championships.

The team comprises of Ian Woolley (conventional) and Malcolm Taylor (reversible), with John Stalker and Paul Houghton competing in the vintage competition.

Woolley and Taylor are using their own tractors and ploughs which were shipped to York from last year’s world contest in Denmark.

Houghton is driving a borrowed International B275 tractor and Ransome hydraulic TS59 plough while Stalker has borrowed a Nuffield tractor and Ransome trailing RSLD with longboards. Both men are getting used to their new machines with the help of coach John Thornton. John Guy has been helping with some engineering on the ploughs.

Redmond reported Woolley is ploughing well considering the undulating ground caused by a very wet spring. Taylor has made improvements to the mouldboards and is rapidly improving.

While the unofficial practices time is up for conventional and reversible ploughmen, the vintage competitors still have a few days up their sleeves. They will be ploughing in stubble on both days of competition.

Hard work is paying off for Houghton, however Stalker has some concerns with his plough. He hopes to replace the Nuffield with a Fergie.

Along with preparations for the competition, set to get under way next Saturday, the team is soaking up the medieval history associated with York.

The Blessing of the Plough ceremony will be held in the magnificent York Minster Cathedral and will be attended by more than 300 ploughmen gathered for the event.

More than half of England’s medieval stained glass features in the 800 year old building’s windows. Stalker and Thornton are staying at a bed and breakfast which was once the Stillingfleet village post office and within walking distance of the practice paddock. The breakfasts are reportedly so good they struggle getting to work by 8am.

Taylor is travelling back and forth from Richards each day and the Stalkers and Thorntons are

Gunpowder ripples

By Kathleen Stringer

F

inding items or subjects to write about for this column isn’t always easy.

As far as the objects go, I tend to write about things I like, or items that I know something about. Sometimes, however, I am drawn to feature an object not for its story but for what it means to me. Memory plays a large part in my articles, especially if I can recall using the item, or it reminds me of something from my childhood.

The tin of gunpowder pictured on this page means nothing to me, I don’t know why it was used, or by whom. It isn’t pretty or of great significance, but it reminds me of an important event in my family history.

Background Thomas Stringer married Fanny Champ, a widow with small children. After they married the couple had children of their own, one of whom became my great grandfather. This man, Francis, became a sailor and eventually came to New Zealand where he married and founded a rather large family of which I am a very proud member. His granddaughter was my grandmother who, as regular readers of my stories will be aware, played a very large part in my life. Tracing the family of Francis was, and remains, very important to me.

Knowing Francis came from Kent I quickly made friends with their archivist at the local museum and he and I corresponded for many years. One day he put me in contact with someone else who was also tracing the family.

It was very exciting for me to find a real-life Stringer descendant in England, and we wrote many letters sharing our information.

Discussing our research it was suggested by my new-found relative that Thomas may have been married before. I was doubtful, as if it were true he had only been married to his first wife a few years before he met and married Fanny.

My relative then produced a marriage certificate that he believed was for our Thomas, but I still wasn’t convinced. How could it be the right one – I resolutely replied – because there is no death certificate for her?

I did have a fairly open mind, as one needs when one traces people and searches everywhere for proof one way or the other. But there was no sign of her dying. It was, I

Above – The empty tin of gunpowder that inspired this story.

Left – One of the ways money was raised to help the survivors of the Faversham explosion was the production of a postcard. This replica is still on sale in Faversham, it says: “Stringer who stood near escaped a most untimely end but lost his wife, to him, most dear his true and faithful friend.”

Below – Wood engraving of scene of the Kent gun cotton explosion at Faversham in 1847 from the Illustrated London News.

said, as if she had vanished off the face of the earth!

What next?

Actually that was what happened. Faversham was a centre of gun cotton manufacture since the 1600s. Cotton fibre is soaked in vats of nitrate liquid (think nitroglycerine and nitrate film, both very flammable and unstable).

The ‘charged’ cotton was used in the production of weapons, but also in explosives to blast rock for roads, tunnels, etc.

A factory was built in Faversham in 1847 and employed a number of locals, both children and adults. Their tasks included rolling the cotton out into lengths, dipping the cotton into the unstable mixture and then taking it out to dry. Tragically, one very hot day in 1847 the main factory simply exploded. The explosions could be heard up to 30 miles away and large craters appeared where once there had been buildings.

Many people were injured and

10 people were known to have died, while others were simply not able to be identified. As many people were paid by the day as casual labourers, the true death total was never uncovered.

Small ripples In the sometimes overly graphic details of the accident and coroners’ inquests published in the newspapers, it was mentioned that one of the “missing supposed blown to bits” was young Sarah Ann Stringer, Thomas’ first wife.

It also stated that Thomas was injured, although we don’t know how.

What we do know is that a fund was established to provide welfare for those who survived and with this Thomas established a business as a pork butcher. He moved to West Street, Faversham, where he met a young widow and the rest is (my family) history.

After the accident the gun cotton factory closed for a time, but soon reopened. More trag-

edy struck in 1916, so this year Faversham again commemorates an explosion, when another 108 people were killed.

While Thomas received money for his injuries he continued to work until his 80s, he died in the local workhouse in 1904 – ironically the year my grandmother was born. Museums deal not only

in fascinating facts and objects of importance, but also memories and connections, however tenuous.

This small tin makes few ripples in the sea of history, but its power to connect me with an important event in my family, and many other families in Kent’s history, makes it significant to me.

Honouring the Fallen During the period of the First World War, 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 Plains, 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 10: Percy William Edgar EVANS September 12: David James Oldham IRVING

By Patrick Mckendry More than a week has passed since the bad-tempered Bledisloe Cup test between the All Blacks and Australia in Wellington and the dust hasn’t quite settled yet, with loose forward Sam Cane today agreeing he felt the Wallabies’ tactics were “odd” and lock Brodie Retallick suggesting they represented a “weakness”.

Both teams are this week preparing for different challenges, the All Blacks taking on Argentina in Hamilton on Saturday before the Wallabies play South Africa in Brisbane, but the Chiefs pair, who are both set to play on their home turf at Waikato Stadium, were happy to re-visit the test at Westpac Stadium, won 29-9 by the All Blacks.

The Wallabies, fired-up by their thrashing at the hands of Steve Hansen’s men the week before in Sydney, appeared keen to engage in off-the-ball incidents to the detriment of their game, and Cane said while the All Blacks adapted eventually, the early niggle caught them by surprise.

“We knew they would come out a lot more physical and potentially with a bit of niggle,” he said.

“The way they went about it was probably what caught us off guard just a fraction but we acknowledged it pretty quickly that that was how they were going to play.

“In a funny way it’s a good thing when you realise the opposition are playing like that because it means they’re not really focused on their footy as much.

“And as long as we worry about playing footy and executing our stuff right, then there should be some answers and I suppose that’s how the game played out.”

Retallick added: “We saw it as a bit more of a weakness from them that they were worried about putting that in and we were just playing rugby.”

Asked what he thought about the approach of Michael Cheika’s team, he said: “I don’t mind it, to be fair. They play their way, we play ours. I don’t mind the physical stuff.

“There’s a line where you’ve got to stand up as a team and realise that you’re not just going to stand there and take it and then there’s a point where it diverts you from what you’re doing. At times it probably got the better of us, but I think overall we handled it pretty well as a team.”

In brief Rosberg wins Monza Germany’s Nico Rosberg has won the Italian Grand Prix for dominant Mercedes to cut team-mate Lewis Hamilton’s world championship lead to two points with seven races remaining. Hamilton, who had been on pole position as favourite to take his 50th career victory and third in a row at Monza, finished second after a slow start gifted Rosberg the race. Rosberg’s first victory at the historic circuit outside Milan was his seventh of the season.

Tourney confidence-builder

Shattered Warriors halfback Shaun Johnson admitted his side were guilty of committing schoolboy errors in Sunday’s spirit-crushing NRL 40-18 defeat to Parramatta.

Johnson was visibly upset following his side’s season-ending errorstrewn performance against the Eels at Mt Smart. The 26-year-old spoke of his pain at missing the finals for a fifth year in a row. “It’s disappointing to end our season the way we have,” said Johnson.

“I’m over it, obviously. It is frustrating. It feels like crap.”

Cowboys team to beat

Rebecca Clarke takes aim during Ashburton College’s 2-1 Jenny McDonald Cup final loss to Cromwell College in Oamaru.

■ HOCKEY

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

It was a mixed bag of results for Ashburton College’s senior boys and girls’ hockey teams at their respective tournaments last week.

The girls’ XI progressed to the final of the Jenny McDonald Cup in Oamaru where they narrowly lost 2-1 against Cromwell College.

Ella Bonnington put Ashburton College ahead inside 15 minutes before Molly Franklin returned fire for Cromwell 10 minutes later to level the score.

Molly Pimm then put Cromwell in front in the second half to secure the cup.

Despite the final defeat, the Ashburton College girls will take plenty of confidence from their

performances throughout the tournament.

They had downed home team St Kevin’s College 2-1 and Middleton Grange 4-0 earlier in pool play.

The college girls made light work of South Canterbury Rural Combined for a 5-0 quarterfinal victory before booking a final berth with a 1-0 victory over

Darfield High in their semi-final clash.

Meanwhile the Ashburton College boys’ XI had a less memorable time at the Johnson Cup in Dunedin.

College’s solitary win in pool play was a 2-1 victory over Wanganui Collegiate School, with goals coming from Ryan Bradley and Jonathan Regaldo.

■ RUGBY

Lions to face full-strength Super sides

By Patrick mckendry The Blues, Crusaders and Highlanders are likely to be near full strength for their matches against the British and Irish Lions next year.

In the wake of the criticism from some European clubs about the toughness of the Lions’ schedule, which includes three tests, five matches against the New Zealand Super Rugby teams, a match against the New Zealand Maori, and one against the New Zealand Barbarians, All Blacks selector Grant Fox yesterday confirmed the majority of the All Blacks would be available for their franchises in the early matches.

The Lions, who will probably be coached by Warren Gatland, open their tough tour with a match against the Barbarians in Whangarei on June 3, before

playing the Blues, Crusaders and Highlanders in the space of seven days.

The first test will be played in Auckland on June 24, which means the Chiefs, who host the Lions on June 20, are unlikely to have their All Blacks available.

The same applies for the Hurricanes, who play the Lions on June 27, between the second and third tests.

“The Super Rugby sides will be loaded up with All Blacks early because there’s a bit of time from game one to the first test and they need to play and then as we get closer to the test some of those franchises will have less access to the All Blacks as we start preparing for it,” Fox said yesterday.

When asked about the arduous nature of the tour, put into sharp focus by the performance of a second-string Chiefs team, who thrashed Wales 40-7 in June, Fox

said: “Any tour of New Zealand is going to be challenging because we’ve got real talent and depth here.

“It will be tough for them, but the difference is Wales were down to their mid-week team and you’d think a mid-week British and Irish Lions team would be stronger than Wales.

“But I wouldn’t predict results based on that match against Wales, and I don’t think there will be a mid-week Lions team as such.

“I think Gats, if it is him, will mix things up to give everyone an opportunity to press for test selection. The last thing he’d want to do is flag early what his test team is, both for his own group and for us.”

An indication of the challenge facing the Lions is the Blues’ potential line-up at Eden Park on June 7.

If fit, Charlie Faumuina, Patrick Tuipulotu, Akira Ioane, Jerome Kaino, Augustine Pulu, Sonny Bill Williams, Rene Ranger, George Moala and Rieko Ioane could be available for Tana Umaga’s team.

Fox, speaking on the day the online ballot for tickets opened, said the mystique of the Lions had only grown since he was playing for the All Blacks.

“It’s a special team,” he said.

“After the 1991 World Cup I was thinking about tossing it in and then a little break in the game rekindled my enthusiasm and I got through.

“One of the things that kept me going into 1993 was to play the Lions.

“A lot of players these days will play a couple of World Cups, maybe even three, but they will probably get to play the Lions once in their career.”

Cameron Smith has labelled North Queensland the team to beat for the NRL premiership. Captain Smith’s minor premiers Melbourne meet fourth-placed North Queensland in a qualifying final on Saturday. The game is a rematch of last year’s preliminary final at the venue, won by the Cowboys. “No doubt it is a massive challenge for us,” Smith said at the launch of the final series yesterday. “They are the minor premiers and we believe they are still the benchmark of the competition.”

In stark contrast, the Test side has fallen to nine consecutive losses on the same turning decks of Asia.

In brief

■ GROUP ONE

Rasa Lila right on target Talented mare Rasa Lila is being primed for a first-up crack at another Group One honour.

The Steven Ramsay and Julia Ritchie-trained six-year-old is unbeaten in two trial appearances this preparation, ample proof she is on target for a bold re-appearance in the Windsor Park Plate at Hastings on September 17.

“She performs superbly fresh-up and while she came up well last season, she seems to be going a lot better now,” said Garry Cossey, racing manager to co-breeder and owner Sir Peter Vela.

“She’s stronger and she has really matured into a grouse mare.”

Rasa Lila won four races last season, including the Gr.2 Travis Stakes and the Gr.3 Cuddle Stakes, and she was Group One placed when third in the Easter Stakes.

Off the back of a four-month break, the daughter of Darci Brahma won consecutive trials at Te Teko last month.

“In the first one she was just there for a run and we didn’t really expect her to be that forward,” Cossey said.

“Her last trial gave us even more confidence and Leith (Innes) hopped off her and was full of praise.”

Rasa Lila will head to the second day of the Hawke’s Bay meeting with her stakes winning stablemate Silver Eclipse.

“She’ll run in the open 1200 and she had a good hit-out at Taupo where she was in need of the trial,” Cossey said.

“She’s another one who operates very well fresh and if she gets a good track at Hastings we would expect her to be very competitive.”

Karloo Mick gone Last week was a sad one with the death of one of Australia’s most popular pacers of the modern era, Karloo Mick. The “Dubbo Destroyer” as many knew him even won hearts in NZ through his 2009 Ashburton Flying Stakes win. He ran sixth in the NZ Cup on that same trip. Karloo Mick suffered a suspected brain aneurysm and had to be put down last Tuesday, just days before he turned 16. - HRNZ

Lilley team thriving Conon Bridge bounced back from a lacklustre Breeders Crown with a sparkling win last Friday. Connections opted to leave the four-yearold in Aussie with Brent Lilley, who continues to build a powerhouse team. Conon Bridge, with Anthony Butt aboard, led throughout to beat some quality opposition. Lilley underlined his strength by winning the Group 3 Scotch Notch with Kyvalley Blur, who is racing in career-best form. Lilley is considering a trip “back home” to Christchurch for Kyvalley Blur.

■ TENNIS

High interest in tennis open day Mid Canterbury Tennis held its annual open day on Sunday with players from throughout the district making their way to the courts following the winter break.

Participants of all ages and abili-

ties were put through their paces by coach Andre van Rooyen, while current and former Gala Cup champions Rhys Cromie and Neil McCann also offered tips to the newbies.

“I think it went really well,” said van Rooyen.

“We had very good interest for new kids of all levels and even to adults, they were all engaged and enjoyed it.”

Nadal exits Open Rafael Nadal kept making a stand, kept coming back, kept showing he would not depart quietly from this US Open.

Facing a much younger, muchless-accomplished opponent, Nadal twice erased a set deficit.

Then he staved off a trio of match points.

And then, more than four hours into the toughest test he’s put his left wrist through since returning from injury, Nadal faltered.

He missed a short forehand, pushing it into the net.

Nadal knew what he’d done and covered his eyes with both hands.

One point later, the match was over.

Nadal was upset in the US Open’s fourth round by 24th-seeded Lucas Pouille of France 6-1, 2-6, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (6) yesterday, prolonging the 14-time Grand Slam title winner’s quarter-final drought at major tournaments.

“There were things I could do better.

“Had the right attitude. I (fought) right up to the last ball,” said the No. 4-seeded Nadal, a two-time champion at Flushing Meadows.

“But I need something else. I need something more that was not there today.”

He breezed through his open-

ing three matches at the hardcourt tournament, dropping only 20 games. But Pouille, a 22-yearold with flashy strokes, presented a much greater challenge in the fourth round, pushing Nadal to the limit through entertaining, tense – and intense – exchanges.

“Every point was great,” Pouille said.

This was Pouille’s third career victory in a five-setter; all have come in his past three matches.

Since losing in last year’s French Open quarter-finals, Nadal has failed to make it beyond the fourth round at a major.

And after winning at least one Grand Slam title each year for a decade, he’s now gone two full seasons without one.

In 2016, he lost in the first round of the Australian Open.

Then he pulled out of the French Open before his third-round match because of a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist, an injury that forced him to withdraw from Wimbledon altogether and miss about 2 1/2 months in all.

After finally pulling even with Pouille by capturing the fourth set, Nadal broke to open the fifth, then went ahead 4-2.

But Pouille broke to 4-all.

“Sometimes,” Pouille said of the

raucous crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium, “I couldn’t even hear myself when I was saying, ‘Allez! Allez! Allez!’”

Soon enough, they were in the tiebreaker, with Pouille holding his first three match points at 6-3.

Nadal – who came to the net far more often than usual – wouldn’t concede yet, though, and one forehand winner by him plus two tight forehands by Pouille evened the score. Anyone’s match to win.

“Well, at 6-3, I was like, ‘OK, you’re going to win this one,’” Pouille said. “And then, at 6-all, it was not the same.”

Pouille never had been to a Grand Slam quarter-final until Wimbledon a couple of months ago, but it was Nadal who blinked at 6-6.

Pouille played conservatively, hitting short shots and making sure they landed in. On one such seemingly easy ball to exploit, Nadal moved forward and whipped that big forehand of his, only to see his reply smack the net.

“I played the right point. I put (myself) in a position to have the winner, and I had the mistake.

That’s it,” the 30-year-old Nadal said.

“You cannot go crazy thinking about these kind of things, no?” - AP

Your Stars

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You don’t need it; it’s dragging you down. There’s an inexplicable attachment going on that makes it difficult for you to cut ties. Stop trying to explain it, cut anyway.

This is a case of addition by subtraction.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): How would you change the world? You’re learning you have more power than you think. Fantasise then dial it down to the action you can take today.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Face it. If it weren’t for you, a certain item on the list wouldn’t get done.

You’re the only one who is both responsible and capable enough to accomplish this. Is it perhaps time you trained a replacement?

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Your open-hearted ways leave you vulnerable, and you’ll quickly learn that this is a good thing today, as mutual attractions and reciprocal intentions make you richer in joy and dollars.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Trying to convince someone you’re right will be a waste of time. You’re better off finding the person who already accepts that you know what you’re talking about and will build with you from there.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’re well-considered, and this will be apparent when what people are saying about you gets back to you. You don’t put stock in the opinions of others, yet you realise a good reputation is to be cherished.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): It takes discipline to flow attention toward things and people you know are important when attractive distractions are strategically and deliberately thrown in your path. This is a test!

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You were trying to get someone’s attention, but now you’ve achieved what you set out to do, you could care less.

With nothing to prove and no one to prove it to, you’ll move with what moves you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Offering advice makes the conversation about you. No matter how good your advice (and yours would be exceptional, considering your experience) a listening ear is still the best you could offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Because you’re mentally and physically going at a faster pace than 90 percent of the population today, the urge to interrupt will come often. However, the right time to interrupt is never.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Even though you accept the people around you, you are extremely hard on yourself. There’s something you’re trying to achieve, and until you rise to the occasion, you can’t let up on yourself.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’ve been growing this sense of purpose inside you and it’s become so strong as to drive your whole being. It’s always been there, but in its seedling form the world didn’t notice like they will today.

Tigers pick up the tab The Wests Tigers will reportedly pay $750,000 of Robbie Farah’s salary next year, despite the NSW Origin hooker leaving the club.

Farah’s future with South Sydney is expected to be confirmed within the coming days, but the Tigers will be forced to foot all but $200,000 of his 2017 salary. Farah’s contract was back-ended at the Tigers, and the $750,000 will be included in the merged club’s salary cap next year.

Farah has not played first grade since State of Origin, but was given a rousing reception by the club’s fans at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday.

Ko still world No. 1 Kiwi driver Scott Dixon pumps his fist as he takes the checkered flag to win the IndyCar Grand Prix at The Glen yesterday.

Dixon dominates The Glen Watkins Glen International is a special place for Scott Dixon.

He showed why again yesterday.

Fastest in every practice and fastest in qualifying, Dixon won the IndyCar Grand Prix at The Glen with a dominant drive, leading all but 10 of the 60 laps around the 11-turn, 3.37-mile natural terrain layout.

It’s his 40th victory overall, moving the New Zealander into fourth place on the career list.

He also won for the second time this season, and fourth time at The Glen.

When the series returned to the historic road course in upstate New York’s wine country in 2005, Dixon won the first three races, his victory that first year snapping a 40-race winless streak.

Josef Newgarden was second, followed by Helio Castroneves, Conor Daly, and Sebastien Bourdais fifth.

Simon Pagenaud finished seventh and increased his lead over Will Power to 43 points standings with one race remaining in the season.

Power crashed just past the

midpoint of the race and finished 20th.

He was not permitted to return to the race because of concussion symptoms.

The two Penske drivers are the only ones still in contention for the title.

It was the first IndyCar race at The Glen since Power won from the pole in 2010.

Dixon took pole with a speed of over 147mph and a recordshattering time that eclipsed the previous record by nearly six seconds on the track’s new pavement.

In the race’s 30-minute warmup, Dixon practised his starts and nearly lost it once.

Once the green flag dropped, he was flawless, consistently opening big leads and saving enough fuel over the final laps to win by 16.5 seconds.

Dixon announced after the race on pit road that he was donating his race winnings to the family of the late Justin Wilson, who died in August last year after being struck in the head by debris from a crash in an IndyCar race being run at Pocono Raceway.

Walsh chasing one final heave in Zagreb Kiwi shot putter Tom Walsh will seek one last explosive display in Europe to put the icing on a breakthrough international season.

Walsh lines up at the IAAF World Challenge in Zagreb this morning (NZT) in a full-strength

field, hoping to continue his outstanding form since winning bronze at the Rio Olympics.

Successive wins over American Olympic champion Ryan Crouser included last week’s triumph at the Diamond League finale in Zurich, when Walsh

smashed his own Oceania record with a 22.20m heave.

The 24-year-old couldn’t repeat the dose a day later in Germany, finishing second, but will hope a three-day break can fire the engine one last time before returning to New Zealand.

Meanwhile, Valerie Adams is set to match Walsh by winning the women’s Diamond League points race in the final meet in Brussels on Friday morning.

Adams is an unassailable 21 points clear of American Tia Brooks.

Ko recorded an eagle on the 12th hole following three birdies in four holes to make a charge up the leaderboard. The world number one retained the top spot in the CME Race to the Globe season rankings with Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn also finished tied fifth.

Top start for Toddy Todd Blackadder has made a winning start to his English coaching career.

Bath’s newly-installed director of rugby watched his side dominate Northampton to such a degree it was hard to believe the contest was still alive when Rhys Priestland kicked the ball into touch to close out the game. England first five George Ford proved the difference with his kicking game with Bath winning 18-14 after a late Northampton rally. Blackaddder watched on with a smile as Ford kicked four penalties and two drop goals to ease his side to victory.
