Two Mid Canterbury firefighters are among a contingent of about 80 who have been deployed to Canada to fight severe wildfires.

They are Alford Forest deputy fire force controller and Staveley dairy farmer Nathan Currie, and Ashburton dad-of-four Kevin Donaldson, who works as senior station officer at the Timaru fire station.

The two were among six from the Mid South Canterbury area who quickly packed their firefighting boots, overalls, gloves and goggles and boarded a plane on Sunday.

Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) Mid South Canterbury deputy principal rural fire officer Don Geddes

said there would be a comprehensive induction process for the 80 Kiwi firefighters upon arrival. They would be warned about all the hazards, which would include not only heat, flames and the terrain, but also wildlife such as bears and snakes.

Blazes ranging in size from 40,000 to 150,000 hectares are exhausting firefighting resources in British Columbia.

Geddes said the deployment offered a brilliant professional development opportunity.

“All the stuff they learn over there they bring home and pass onto our troops on the ground here as well.”

New Zealand had a reciprocal arrangement for assisting in such situations with Australia, the United States and Canada.

Don’t get

Currie co-ordinated the Alford Forest crews which helped fight the Port Hills fires. His wife Greta said yesterday she had not yet heard from her husband since he left, as they were only just landing in Canada. He had wanted to go not only to help the country deal with the severe wildfire situation, but also to gain experience.

It was a sentiment backed by Donaldson’s wife Glenda. The couple had seen it as an opportunity to broaden his firefighting horizons and undertake tasks he would not be doing in his day-to-day job in Timaru.

■ NIWA FIGURES

Highest ever July rainfall

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Cantabrians isolated by the floods of July 21 and 22 will not be surprised by Niwa data showing record rainfalls.

Niwa has released its climate summary for July, which shows its weather station at Winchmore recorded 238 millimetres of rain for the month, the highest ever July amount since records began at the station in 1909.

The Ashburton weather station recorded 221 millimetres, the third highest July total for the station since records began in 1909.

Winchmore also returned a measurement of 112 millimetres on July 21, the highest one-day rainfall at that station for July since records began in 1927. Ash-

burton recorded 93 millimetres on the same day, the second highest at that station for one day in July since records began in 1927.

Niwa said the July 21 and 22 storm saw hundreds of homes evacuated and a State of Emergency declared in Waitaki, Dunedin, Christchurch, Selwyn, Timaru and eventually the entire Otago region.

There were several slips and road closures were widespread across Canterbury and Otago.

There was a silver lining though.

As of August 1, soil moisture levels were near normal for virtually the entire country, and slightly higher than normal for coastal areas from Timaru to Dunedin.

The July report also documented near average temperatures for

much of the country, and near normal sunshine hours, but the latter was below or well below normal in parts of Wellington, Taranaki, Nelson and Christchurch.

Niwa’s three-month outlook also delivered good news, and will have Mid Cantabrians eagerly anticipating spring, just three-anda-half weeks away.

Temperatures were forecast to be above average for all regions of New Zealand through to October, and rainfall totals were most likely to be near normal for the east of the South Island.

And Mid Cantabrians are having a break from cold winter temperatures this week, with the MetService forecasting maximums in the double digits each day, and reaching up to 16 degrees.

Students get to work providing lizards with a new home

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Lauriston School students enjoyed a day out of the classroom and in the elements yesterday, thanks to one student’s creative plan to provide local lizards with a new home.

Sophia Maw dreamt up the tree-planting day after the installation of a new Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation (BCI) pipe took out areas of pine trees on her family’s property.

Dozens of students, parents and members of the community descended on the riverside property for the planting day, along with representatives from BCI and landscaper Doug Lowry, who provided native seedlings for planting.

Sophia said she hoped to make the area habitable for geckos and skinks once again, and that a lot of organisation and meetings had gone into making the day happen.

“We had to work out what we’d plant and how, and what we’d do

for water and so on.”

She said work was also done to make the area lizard-friendly, by trapping possums in the days before planting.

Although the original planting day was postponed due to heavy rain and landslides on the property, yesterday was an undeniable win-win for BCI, the Maw family, students and lizards alike.

“We’re lucky to have such a beautiful day,” said her father, David Maw. “It’s great to see everybody out here.”

Sophia said she will also use the day to tick off her “service to community” category within the school’s READY programme.

The programme encourages students to give back to their community and celebrate opportunities for education outside the classroom.

Participating students complete challenges within the categories of academic, art, service to the community, sporting/outdoor and service to family.

Lauriston School student Sophia Maw put her classmates to work with gumboots and spades yesterday, planting native trees to help give local lizards a home.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

Drink driver fears for his work visa An Ashburton lawyer has been granted extra time to seek expert advice about whether convictions for drink driving and careless driving could spell the end of a work visa for her Filipino client.

Fredilozo Mon, 35, crashed his car into an irrigation ditch in April when he was driving over the breath alcohol limit and was in the Ashburton District Court yesterday to be sentenced.

His lawyer Marilyn Gilchrist asked for a discharge without conviction because Mon feared the crimes would put further work visas in jeopardy.

But Judge Alistair Garland said he needed evidence that convictions would threaten future work visas, and suggested Gilchrist contact an immigration expert.

He said Mon’s application for a discharge was based on the premise future work visas would be in jeopardy but no evidence of that had been supplied.

“There are strong public policy reasons why people who have offended particularly against our drink drive laws very rarely obtain a section 106 discharge.

If you want this application to have any chance of success, you need to get some evidence that a conviction would, in fact, put a work visa for him in jeopardy. I just don’t know if that is correct.

“There must be other cases

where people coming into New Zealand for work have had drink drive convictions. Is it the case they immediately fail the character test and do not get a visa?”

Gilchrist said the decision was at the discretion of the Immigration Department but Mon was very worried about the repercussions.

“It is a case-by-case basis and for Mr Mon, he feels it is too great a risk. He might not get a further visa with his family relying on him to work here.”

Judge Garland remanded the case to September 18 and recommended Gilchrist seek evidence from an immigration expert.

“I can see for Mr Mon, it is obviously a very important issue.”

Sergeant Mike Wingfield said police would be opposing the application for a discharge without conviction.

Mon, a dairy farm worker, blew 513mcg when he was breath-tested after the accident on April 4.

He had been driving east on Mayfield Klondyke Road about 1.30am after a few drinks and missed the turnoff with Coskeries Road; he pulled to the left onto a wet grass verge and the vehicle slid through a fence, did a 180 degree turn and came to a stop in an irrigation ditch full of water.

Sales good at exhibition opening

Where she once saw grey, now Jen Dearborn notices myriad colours.

“Living rurally, I spend a lot of time outdoors and the more I look at the landscape the more colours I see. Where previously I saw a grey wash of gravel, now I see blues, purples and reds,” the artist explains.

Dearborn has joined with fellow Staveley resident Susie Millichamp to present their fifth annual exhibition at the Methven Art Gallery at the Mount Hutt Memorial Hall, entitled Colourists.

They are displaying more than 50 paintings, and about 80 people attended the opening and

accounted for a good number of sales on Friday.

Dearborn said her recent works in particular had started to express all the new colours she sees, and to exaggerate them and capture the magic of light.

Birds are another new subject matter for her, and she was enjoying using mono-prints and etchings to enhance the feather effect.

“The phoenix is a symbol for our native birds who are under threat and I hope that they will be able to rise and thrive again.”

Most of the works in the exhibition are landscapes, but also include European scenes from a trip Millichamp took to France last year.

Millichamp usually paints in watercolours and oils, but has recently started experimenting with acrylics.

She said she had been lucky to paint in Italy and France in recent years, where she had done classes and gleaned tips from world-renowned artists.

“Of course the beautiful mountains that surround me living on a deer farm in Staveley have to be my leading inspiration,” she said.

Millichamp painted full-time and sold at local exhibitions, galleries and cafes, and enjoyed meeting with a group of artists each week at the Staveley Hall.

Colourists will run through to the end of September.

In brief Green MPs quit Two Green Party MPs have quit politics in protest at co-leader Metiria Turei’s decision not to step down. Kennedy Graham and David Clendon have removed themselves from the party list, effectively meaning they will not make it back into Parliament. Graham was ranked at eighth on the list, and was likely to get re-elected in the September election. Clendon was ranked at 16, placing him on the cusp of re-election.

■ PRIME MINISTER’S BUSINESS SCHOLARSHIPS

Scholarships handed out

By Colin WillisCroft

Colin.w@theguardian.Co.nz

A Synlait manager has won a Prime Minister’s business scholarship, which he will use to study advanced management in Europe later this year.

Robert Stowell, general manager supply chain for the Rakaiabased milk processor, was presented with his award at a reception at Premier House last week, along with the 13 other recipients for 2017.

Stowell said he enjoyed meeting the other recipients, who were a mixture of chief executives from smaller businesses through to executives from companies like Air New Zealand and Zespri.

The awards seek to help some of New Zealand’s best up-andcoming executives expand their

international connections and expertise by giving them the opportunity to attend courses at some of the world’s top business schools, where they will learn about international best practice in management and leadership, Economic Development Minister Simon Bridges said.

“The knowledge, connections and experience the executives will gain from attending these courses will enable them to expand their companies and access to international markets,” Bridges said.

“The flow-on effects for New Zealand businesses and the economy as a whole will be extremely positive.”

Stowell will use his scholarship to attend the four-week advanced management programme at the European Insti-

tute for Business Administration in France in November.

He will be the third person from Synlait to attend the course, so he has some idea of what to expect.

It will help him understand cutting edge trends and how business methods operate in a global supply chain environment, he said, adding that it will give him confidence and broaden his thinking, all of which will benefit Synlait.

Winning the scholarship was a lot of work, he said.

After first being nominated by Synlait, Stowell had to fill out a detailed application form that included company details and his own career achievements.

He also had to say what he personally would get out of the course, along with the benefits

for Synlait. The idea is to make New Zealand companies more competitive globally, Stowell said.

On his return to New Zealand after the course, Stowell is required to complete a report to show how he will use what he has learned.

The value of an individual scholarship is between $4000 and $110,000 depending on the course.

Approved scholarship funding covers costs up to a cap of 50 per cent of incurred core expenses.

The applicant or nominating company must pay the balance.

Stowell said the bulk of the courses similar to the one he was attending cost between $65,000 to $100,000 for training and accommodation, with his one at the lower end of that scale.

Wellington could become hotter than Northland, and end up with a climate closer to Sydney’s, if no action is taken on climate change.

That’s the latest prediction from Niwa which has just released its first ever report on the specific weather changes expected for our capital. The figures predict what will change by 2090 if we continue to act as if it’s “business as usual”. It shows Wairarapa will be particularly badly affected, with the agricultural region being scorched by soaring temperatures and increased droughts. While it currently gets 24 days per year hotter than 25°C, that would skyrocket to 94 days of the year.

Nappy change anger Desperate parents are begging Treasures to fix a new and “improved” nappy design which they say is causing leaks and nappy rash. The Kiwi company switched its nappy design earlier this year but feedback from scores of parents said there were several flaws with the new design. New mum Seanna Hislop said since the switch she’d been using nearly twice as many nappies a day.

“They just leak,” a frustrated Hislop said. Hislop had now switched brands.

Police originally treated the death as being suspicious.

Quiz night funds to help make someone’s dream come true

By Colin WillisCroft

Colin.w@theguardian.Co.nz

A quiz night held at Ashburton College last Friday has raised $1500 for Make a Wish New Zealand.

The evening, organised by the school’s student executive, involved 29 teams of four battling it out at the Collegiate North Rugby clubrooms to achieve trivia knowledge bragging rights.

Head boy Nic Thomassen said teams came from throughout the community, with the money raised from a team registration fee, raffles and an auction.

He said the support of Mid Canterbury businesses was integral to the event’s success.

Make a Wish funding and events manager Merinka Ryder said she was impressed with the money raised and the effort the pupils had put in.

“It’s outstanding,” she said.

The money raised would go to help making someone in Canterbury’s wish come true, she said, although at this stage she doesn’t know who that was or when that would happen.

For the record, the winning team was called The Crazy Cat Lady and her Clowder, which was made up mainly by social studies teachers.

Make a Wish funding and events manager Merinka Ryder (centre), met with Ashburton College student executive members Samantha McArthur, Tayla Wright, Nic Thomassen and Tori Watson yesterday morning to congratulate them on the money they raised for the foundation from a quiz night on Friday.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT NEWS

Five drink drivers appear in court An Ashburton man caught drink driving twice in the space of three hours was jailed for five months yesterday.

Tony Elexander Murdoch, 27, was appearing in the Ashburton District Court for sentencing on two charges of driving with excess breath alcohol, one of driving while forbidden and another of driving while his licence had been suspended.

Judge Alistair Garland said Murdoch had 43 previous convictions including 21 for dishonesty and nine for driving offences. It also showed a record of noncompliance with court orders and authority.

Murdoch’s lawyer Roz Burnside

said Murdoch was going through a rough patch and had asked for a community-based sentence, but the judge declined.

He said Murdoch was caught riding a moped on Porter Street last November and blew 773mcg.

He had his licence suspended at the time but was caught two and a half hours later driving a car on Bridge Street. He blew 717mcg on that occasion.

Murdoch had blamed police for the second offence, saying they should have kept him for detox after the first drink driving incident.

20 driving with excess breath alcohol. The limit for under 20s is zero.

Deuart blew 171mcg when police stopped him on Racecourse Road on July 5; the labourer said he had had a few drinks after work.

“You are only 19. You don’t have to think about whether you should be driving once you have had a drink because you can have nothing to drink before driving,” Judge Garland said.

Deuart was fined $250, plus $130 court costs and disqualified from driving for three months.

Jacob Deuart, 19, of Tinwald, admitted being a person under

driving on Tancred Street on June 25. Smith was seen leaving a bar and stopped by police, who asked her to provide a breath test; she blew 822mcg.

The mother of two was a high risk to other road users with that level, the judge said.

He also imposed court costs of $130 and disqualified her from driving for six months.

Meatworker Puroka Teokotai, 26, was caught driving after his licence had been suspended for excess demerit points.

Teokotai said he had a ride jacked up to get to work on July 1, but it fell through and he drove himself.

He was stopped by police on Archibald Street on the way home from his shift.

He was fined $600, plus court costs and disqualified from driving for seven months from September 20.

He agreed to pay the fine off at $100 a week.

Deborah Ann Mcpherson Falconer, 56, of Methven, was fined $600, plus costs, and disqualified from driving for six months after she was convicted of drink driving.

She blew 600mcg when police stopped her on Rakaia Barrhill Methven Road in the early hours of July 26.

Teen arrested in Chch stabbing

Mauha Fawcett (above) was found guilty in the High Court at Christchurch of Mellory Manning’s (inset) murder and jailed in 2014.

■ COURT OF APPEAL

Conviction quashed, retrial ordered The man jailed for the murder of a Christchurch prostitute has had his murder conviction quashed.

Mauha Fawcett was found guilty in the High Court at Christchurch of Mellory Manning’s murder and jailed in 2014.

But his family confirmed to the Herald that the Crown has ruled that he was wrongfully convicted. The decision was made at the Court of Appeal in Wellington yesterday.

The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, quashed the conviction and ordered a retrial. Fawcett was remanded in custody until September 1 in the Christchurch High Court.

The reasons are suppressed until final depositions at trial (in accordance with the usual pretrial approach).

Manning’s brother Rob was not surprised by the decision to quash Fawcett’s conviction.

“We know that there are obviously other people responsible for it,” he told the Herald.

“Even though [Fawcett] got

convicted of the crime, it was only one part of it and I was actually wondering what was happening with the rest of [the police investigation], I hadn’t heard anything [over the past 3 years].

“The police still need to be looking for the other people involved in it.”

Rob Manning said the appeal “brings it all back again” and he and his family are still far from getting closure.

Manning was abducted by Mongrel Mob members, raped and murdered in December, 2008.

It stemmed from a drug debt.

Her body was found the next morning in the Avon River.

Fawcett was apparently trying to get into the gang at the time.

The Crown said he was highly unlikely to have been the main perpetrator during the attack, but had played “a pivotal role in the operation”.

Manning’s death was the third prostitute murder in the city in as many years and its brutality

shocked senior, experienced investigators.

Fearing the gang would dob him in to police or else take him out over fears he would talk to police, Fawcett fled the city.

Over a series of police interviews, he incriminated himself in the killing, but later backtracked, according to a Herald court report at the time.

The Crown alleged he also made a confession to a former Mongrel Mob member, saying he had stabbed Manning once.

During the trial he conducted his own defence, with assistance by an amicus curiae, and said he had lied throughout the interviews. He also claimed police had pressured and “coached” him into making false confessions.

Fawcett, who has a British bulldog tattooed on his face, said he hadn’t been at the gang pad that night and denied having anything to do with her murder but the jury rejected his version of events.

An 18-year-old has been arrested and charged with the murder of Alicia Nathan - the woman who died after an altercation in Christchurch at the weekend.

The young woman will appear in the District Court at Christchurch today.

Police said in a statement yesterday afternoon following a post-mortem and formal identification yesterday morning the deceased could be identified as 32-year-old Alicia Nathan, otherwise known as Alicia Robinson.

Police said support was being offered to her family and friends at this difficult time.

Scene examinations at a number of properties across the city were under way and police said it was expected these would continue for the rest of the week.

Nathan, who has been described as a “caring and loving mother” of her 3-year-old boy, died on Saturday at a house in the western suburb of Avonhead just before midnight.

Neighbours said there was a party at the property on Avonhead Road that evening and one reported hearing fireworks.

Nathan’s father, Paul Robinson, has updated his Facebook profile photo to show his daughter and posted these words: “My Girl R.I.P My Baby, Dad x”.

He and his wife Missy are now trying to come down to Christchurch from the Nelson region where they live.

Friends of the “genuine soul” and caring Christchurch mother are trying to raise money to help get her family by her side.

A Givealittle page has been set up to help her whanau get to her side.

“Tragically our loved cousin, daughter, niece, sister, friend and awesome mother [...] Alicia Robinson was hor-

Alicia Nathan ribly taken away from us [...] in Christchurch,” the appeal says.

“Her immediate family are in Nelson, Blenheim and Motueka and I would love to show my help and support to get the immediate family to be with Alicia. Any help towards helping the Robinson whanau to get to Alicia would be much appreciated. Kia ora.”

Tributes are flowing to the popular, bubbly mother on social media platforms.

Friends of Robinson are shocked at her sudden death.

They are paying tribute to a loving mother and thoughtful friend.

“You were such an amazing friend, mummy and more and your heart was always in the right place,” one friend says on her Facebook page.

“I feel so broken,” said one.

“I wish you had of just taken the offer to come out with me instead of me having to lose one of my closest friends.”

Police would like to hear from anyone who was in the Avonhead Road area at around midnight who noticed anything out of the ordinary.

Information can be shared with Christchurch Police on 03 363 7400 or anonymously via CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111.

■ UNITED STATES

President Zuckerberg?

How does ‘Mark Zuckerberg, leader of the free world’ sound?

It’s a question being debated online with increasing gusto as speculation grows about a potential presidential bid by the Facebook boss as early as 2020.

Despite his denials on more than one occasion, the social media mogul hasn’t been able to quash the Zuckerbergwants-to-be-president meme.

The theory really kicked off in January after the Facebook founder announced his personal challenge to visit the 30 US states he had never been to before.

Sounds suspiciously like a campaign trail, right?

As he visited factory workers, farmers and military graveyards across America, that’s certainly what some in the media thought.

It didn’t help that an unsealed court document revealed that a month before announcing the tour, Zuckerberg attempted to restructure Facebook stock to allow him to retain voting control if he served in government for two years, or indefinitely with a few stipulations.

Around the same time he publicly said that he no longer considers himself an atheist, and “religion is very important”.

The US has quite famously never had a publicly atheist president, although an argument could be made that Trump has also broken that mould.

Ostensibly, Mark Zuckerberg says the national tour is an opportunity “to get out of my little bubble in San Francisco” and meet the American people.

The people he meets, he says, will help him in guiding the future of Facebook and his philanthropic foundation.

Along the way he documented his travels meeting with ordinary Americans (read: people who aren’t billionaires) with cheesy photos and musings about what he learned from them.

However the cynics among

Princess Di doco savaged It’s sparked controversy ever since it was announced – but reviewers of a new Princess Diana documentary say it’s barely worth your time. Diana: In Her Own Words aired overnight in the UK, and is scheduled to be broadcast here on Prime later in the month under the title, Diana: Her Story. In it, Diana narrates her own story using archival audio, reportedly revealing a soul tortured by bulimia, crippled with self-doubt, and breaking down amid the pressure of a very public role and a marriage in tatters.

But critics have slated the doco. A critic for the Telegraph called it a “foolish title for a foolish documentary” and called its 90 minutes “interminable”.

Mark Zuckerberg’s recent activities look suspiciously like electioneering. us would quickly note the middle-of-the-road and politically safe nature of the posts addressed to his more than 94 million Facebook followers (Donald Trump has 23 million).

After meeting a group of North Dakota workers involved with the controversial method of extracting natural gas known as fracking, Zuckerberg – who is a staunch advocate for Climate Change action – wrote: “Regardless of your views on energy, I think you’ll find the community around this fascinating.”

As Wired noted: “Zuckerberg’s posts could be a b-school class in corporate equivocation. It takes hard work to write that much, yet reveal so little.”

Sounds like politics 101.

However there are plenty of reasons to perform such an obvious PR exercise that don’t

involve running for public office.

At the top of the list is shoring up trust among Facebook’s 2 billion users which is absolutely vital if they’re going to keep sharing their lives and information on the website, which is after all the company’s lifeblood.

Facebook has been trying to repair its image after recent scandals prompted accusations the company was deliberately filtering out right-wing news and assertions it has been largely responsible for the spread of fake news.

Zuckerberg has consistently denied he is plotting a presidential run but then again, such denials are pretty standard among those harbouring political aspirations.

“Some of you have asked if this challenge means I’m running for public office. I’m not,”

he wrote in May. “I’m doing it to get a broader perspective to make sure we’re best serving our community of almost 2 billion people at Facebook and doing the best work to promote equal opportunity at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.”

Although when he does things like hire Barack Obama’s former White House photographer, eyebrows are inevitably raised.

Last week, the 33-year-old – who has an estimated wealth of $88 billion – added fuel to the fire of speculation by hiring Hillary Clinton’s former chief strategist, Joel Benenson.

These moves have all given the media something to talk about.

He may not be running for president any time soon but if he ever does, Mark Zuckerberg is surely better positioned than most.

Craig back after all He famously vowed he would rather slit his wrist than do another stint as James Bond. But it seems Daniel Craig, 49, will Never Say Never Again after it has emerged he is reportedly in talks to sign up for not one, but two more 007 films.

A source told The Sun: “There was plenty of talk about who would be the next Bond but Barbara has managed to talk Daniel into two more films. Producers are keen to seal the deal with the four-time 007 actor since they have allegedly set their sights on a November 2019 release date.”

Mother and boyfriend killed baby A mother-of-nine and her partner have been found guilty of causing or allowing the death of her baby son, who died with traces of cocaine and speed in his blood.

Four-month-old Eli Cox suffered catastrophic brain injuries consistent with being hit in the head and shaken, a court was told.

A post mortem also found he had suffered at least 28 broken bones over a 10-week period of sustained abuse while he also

had two small bruises on the back of his head.

Katherine Cox, 33, and Danny Shepherd, 25, both denied involvement in his death but were convicted at Maidstone Crown Court following a trial.

Eli died on April 27, 2016, two weeks after being ‘taken ill’ at the family home in Minster, Kent.

The jury heard how an ambulance was called to the property at about 5.30pm on Wednesday, April 13, when Eli

stopped breathing.

He was taken to Medway Maritime Hospital where a paediatrician noticed a number of bruises that were not believed to have been accidental.

It was reported to Kent Police, with detectives from the serious crime directorate launching an investigation.

Both Cox and Shepherd – who calls himself “Pickle” – denied being users of cocaine and amphetamine, despite five wraps of the latter substance

being found by police in a garden shed at their home.

Cox’s friend and neighbour Bonnie Bolton rushed into the home in an effort to save the baby. She told Shepherd to stop the CPR, pushed him aside and put a finger into Eli’s mouth to check if his airway was clear, but found no obstruction.

Miss Bolton remembered Cox repeatedly saying that she thought Eli was dead.

She also said: “Pickle, what have you done?”

Heard ‘manipulative, selfish’ Actress Amber Heard has reportedly split up from her boyfriend Elon Musk. Heard, 31, is apparently “devastated” after tech tycoon Musk ended their year-long romance. Last night a source told the Daily Mail: “It’s all over between Amber and Elon and she’s devastated. It was his decision. He ended it a week ago. He’d heard certain things about her behaviour that didn’t sit well with him. Amber can be very manipulative and selfish. Elon’s back in LA while she’s licking her wounds in Australia.” Musk, 46, worth a reported £12 billion, made his first fortune as cofounder of online service PayPal, and is the creator of electric car giant Tesla.

OUR VIEW

Walsh’s win well deserved Colin Williscroft SENIOR REPORTER

I

f you’re looking for a good news story it’s hard to go past Tom Walsh, Canterbury’s latest world champion.

In throwing 22.03 metres in the shot put final at the World Athletics Championships in London yesterday morning, Walsh claimed the gold medal, beating some more highly fancied throwers.

He also created history for New Zealand male athletes, as, not only was it the first time a New Zealand man has claimed a world title at the global championships, it’s the first time one has even made the podium.

Of course, as we expect of our athletes who compete against countries with a larger population and larger spending power, Walsh had to fire against the odds.

It’s true, he was already an Olympic bronze medallist and world indoor gold champion, so we all knew he was in the mix at the London event.

However, having picked up an injury on the eve of the event, after straining his groin, Walsh then had to sit through a protest before he was confirmed as champion.

Winning in London meant a lot, he told TVNZ afterwards. “I won a world indoors last year but this is the world outdoors and means so much more to everyone.”

That he still manages to work part-time for a Christchurch builder makes him even more endearing to those who like their athletes fully grounded, rather than the rock star variety.

When he’s back in the country with a hammer in his hand he’s treated as one of the boys – and that’s apparently just the way he likes it.

Success hasn’t always come easy for him however.

A few years ago he was behind fellow New Zealand thrower Jacko Gill, both in rankings, titles and on social media, after Gill posted some staggering training videos online.

But seeking the limelight has never been Walsh’s way.

Hard work, a steely determination and a quiet confidence are more his style.

Given he’s only 25, you’d have to say there’s a more than fair chance Walsh’s best throwing years are in front of him, which is not good news for his competition.

In the shorter term, you wouldn’t want to bet against him at this stage for the title of sportsman of the year at next year’s Halberg Awards.

WHAT YOU ARE SAYING YOUR VIEWS ON FACEBOOK What type of events would you like to see more of in Mid Canterbury?

Eartha Anything. But unfortunately everyone complains when we don’t hold stuff here, but when we do, no one go’s or confirms to go so it never happens again or just won’t happen. So yes we can have stuff here but it’s up to to community to make it happen, by supporting community events.

Melissa Something for families that is either free or gold coin donation per person. I don’t go to things because I normally have to spend $40+ for a family of 6 to enter and that’s before my kids want chips and hotdogs from the street carts (there goes another $50) it’s an unreasonable amount to spend on a day out. We don’t go to A&P Show cos of it, kids go with school so they’re happy.

Rating, not salary, is sticking point for farmers T

he Government recently relaxed the ‘mid-skilled’ migrant salary threshold to avoid tough new restrictions down to $41,000. So why are farmers still unhappy?

They’re unhappy because in the dairy sector, salary threshold is not the problem. In submissions to the Government the dairy industry did not object to the original threshold of $49,000.

The fact is, unless the migrant worker is a farm manager or earns over $73,000, they’re deemed ‘low-skilled’ and booted out of the country after three years. Hardly an incentive to even apply in the first place, and disruptive and expensive for the farmer, who has to look for someone else to plug the gap.

The average entry level dairy worker salary is $40,960, or about $20 an hour for a 40-hour working week. After a year or two, opportunities to move into higher positions on other farms or within the same business means the average salary increases to $52,215.

While it’s true that average weekly hours on farms are high compared to other entry level positions, which means the per hour rate might be lower, these are not bottom-of-the-rung wages.

What we wanted from the Government was access to the ‘mid-skilled’ threshold. This is

Chris Lewis

FROM THE FARM

where it gets complicated, which is probably why there has been a degree of confusion in the media since the latest announcements.

The Government’s new skills categories have two components: how an occupation is classified under ANZSCO (Australia New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) and a remuneration component.

Only occupations classified as Level 1, 2 or 3 on ANZSCO can be categorised as “mid-skilled”, regardless of the level of remuneration received.

Apart from Farm Managers, who are classified at Level 1 – the highest level – on ANZSCO, all farm workers are classified as Level 5. So they could lower the threshold to $1 per hour and we’d still not be able to access the “mid-skilled” level of the policy framework and escape the tough new restrictions.

A worker classified as either Level 4 or 5 must be paid $73,299 to be considered ‘highly skilled’ and to access less stringent visa conditions.

So far in 2016/2017 there have

been three times as many temporary Essential Skills Visas granted to dairy workers at skill level 5 than skill level 1. After three years of effort by the employee and farmer to build up their skills, integrate them into the industry, and get them to the threshold of moving into management, these ‘level 1’ staff will now strike the stand-down rule and must leave New Zealand for a year.

If there was a prospect in three years’ time that a whole lot of New Zealanders would spring forth to take the jobs, that might be okay. But the labour shortages in rural areas are much deeper than that.

Increasing urbanisation and difficulties attracting people to often remote rural areas means it will take a massive step change to address this shortage.

Meanwhile, under the blunt tool that is ANZSCO ratings as they apply to the dairy sector, without access to a mid-skilled classification, most migrant dairy workers are caught up in tough restrictions: ■ Maximum of three years in New Zealand before a 12-month stand-down ■ Inability to bring children unless prepared to pay many thousands of dollars in international school fees ■ Inability to bring partner unless they can qualify for their own visa.

It’s not as if the dairy sector, a major export earner, is overrun with non-New Zealanders.

Around 8 per cent of the 40,000 people employed in the industry are migrants.

We are training Kiwis to work in dairy. A proposed new Federated Farmers dairy apprenticeship scheme aims to take in 500 trainees every year.

In some areas, such as in the bottom half of the South Island, few – if any – Kiwis apply for dairy roles. I farm in the Waikato and recently advertised a $55,000pa farm assistant position.

All but two of the 50 or so applicants were migrants.

The two New Zealanders who applied were snapped up by other farms before I got to them.

The reality is, until we can find/ train sufficient New Zealanders to meet the growing number of dairy jobs, in a number of regions we need continued access to migrant workers to keep this vital sector strong.

In brief

■ AIRLINES JOIN TOGETHER

Fighting airport charges Airlines are stepping up their fight against airport charges, with a new Australasian group flexing its muscle.

Airlines for Australia and New Zealand (A4ANZ) chiefs are scheduled to meet airport representatives, government departments and ministers later this month to press its case.

The group represents airlines operating on either side of the Tasman.

It includes Air New Zealand, Qantas, Jetstar, Virgin Australia and Tigerair. Its chairman, Prof Graeme Samuel, said airports were using their monopoly positions to effectively charge what they like.

“Aeronautical charges are simply imposed and it’s very difficult to negotiate otherwise. It is essentially because airports are monopolies.’’

Samuel previously served as the chairman of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission for eight years until 2011.

“My take is that New Zealand has an even lighter regulatory regime than we do in Australia.

Airlines are very conscious of every aspect of the consumer experience, from the moment they leave home to the airport, through check-in and through the retail area and to land at the other end, is affected by airport charges.’’

Airport charges can be the biggest component of airfares, particularly during the low season when airlines struggle to fill planes, so have to drop prices.

Industry data revealed last week shows airport charges based on return flights on Air New Zealand can range up to $201 on the popular Tasman routes and up to $216 to Fiji.

Samuel said passengers paid for high charges at every step of their journey, including car park charges, surcharges for taxis and retail goods.

“Your bottle of water costs a fortune because of rentals imposed by the airport is very high – if they want to get to access traffic they’ve got to pay those rentals.’’

He said airlines accepted that airports needed to invest in infrastructure but didn’t like paying for it in advance of using it.

“If I’m going to rent out the house my tenant is not going to pay rent until they occupy it.

“The airlines in Australia are saying no more pre-funding and I would say the airlines in New Zealand will start saying no more pre-funding.’’

Auckland Airport in June unveiled its plans for new charges during the next five years.

The new fees will be subject to regulatory oversight by the Commerce Commission but airlines have already claimed they are being asked to pay $65m more than they believed was reasonable.

But Auckland Airport says its price path is reasonable.

Chief financial officer Phil Neutze said new aeronautical prices for the 2018-2022 financial years were the result of a yearlong consultation process with airlines on investment plans, operations and pricing.

Support for ‘man tax’ A Melbourne cafe that caused a social media storm after charging men a tax and seating women first insists it has had a stack of support.

And not just from the girls.

Handsome Her, a vegan cafe in Brunswick, said it was charging men 18 per cent more in a bid to address the gender pay gap.

Handsome Her say the premium is being used to help support women’s services.

The cafe, which clearly advertises its rules on a chalk board, explained men will be charged the premium – and the gap donated to women’s services.

However co-owner Alex O’Brien told Seven News the surcharge, which is in place one week out of every month, wasn’t compulsory.

She also said none had so far refused to pay it and in a Facebook post overnight said the idea has been well supported overall.

Handsome Her say the premium is being used to help support women’s services.

“If people aren’t comfortable paying it or if men don’t want

to pay the tax, we’re not going to kick them out the door,” she said.

“It’s just a good opportunity to do some good.”

The idea has caused a mixed reaction on social media, with some supporting the concept.

Others branded it hypocritical and said it would only further widen the gender divide.

Writing on its Facebook page overnight, the cafe insisted it was jam-packed with customers over the past few days who have shown their support for the cause.

It also insisted it wasn’t just women who were backing the idea.

“We’ve had men travel across town to visit us and pay ‘the man tax’ and throw some extra in the donation jar – guys, you’re pretty neat,” the post read.

The cafe also thanked its staff who have taken it all in their stride.

“You have not only been incredibly strong, proud and supportive, but nurturing and protective as well.”

Australian honey maker Capilano Honey’s joint venture with Comvita has had an immediate, if unrealised, benefit for the Queensland-based company’s bottom line. Capilano and Comvita, the Tauranga-based company, teamed up last year to create Medibee Apiaries in Australia to produce Leptospermum honey, commonly known as manuka, for medical and natural health products. Capilano Honey yesterday reported a net profit of $10.3m for the year to June 30, up 9 per cent on the prior year, it said in a statement to the ASX. - NZME

Raising super age One in five Kiwis strongly opposes raising the age of eligibility for New Zealand Superannuation, research has revealed. The National-led Government announced earlier this year that it would increase the eligibility age from 65 to 67 in gradual steps between 2037 and 2040.

But an ASB KiwiSaver survey has found 20 per cent of respondents strongly oppose the increase while only 11 per cent strongly agree with it. A further 28 per cent were on the fence, taking a neutral stance.

Chris Tennent-Brown, senior economist at ASB Bank, said the bank didn’t know what to expect before undertaking the research and it was unusual to get such strong opinions.

Less rain last week has allowed some soils to recover, but more warm winds will be needed to allow recovery on the heavier land.

The wetter-than-average July has not affected winter pasture growth rates but the challenge for managers will be utilising the grass grown with the very soft conditions.

Current soil temperatures are below average and management practices will be needed to avoid pasture damage by pugging with the bigger mobs.

Two-year-old heifers are now well through calving and the main mob of cows are also starting to fill the milking platforms.

Mycoplasma bovis continues to feature in the headlines with some saying MPI’s response is too soft and others suggesting that indoor housing and bull semen are areas to investigate in this outbreak.

Last week’s auction fell by 1.6 per cent as fat prices took a breather, but whole milk powder prices continued to firm for the fourth event in a row and help cement the strong forecasts for this year.

June’s national milk flow figures are slow to be released by DCANZ but reports suggest production is well ahead of the norm.

DairyNZ has complained about the impact of new immigration rules for dairy and point to preferences given to the hospitality industries’ immigrants and ask for fairness.

MARKET REPORT loss as pressure mounts for procurement efficiency from falling sheep numbers.

More spring lambs are now being seen on the plains by those dryland farmers targeting the Christmas premiums and demand remains strong for scanned in-lamb ewes at the saleyards.

Exporters report mutton prices are now at optimum levels but, as much of the product has been traded in $US dollar terms, the currency has impacted significantly at times.

Wool No sale last week and maybe that is a relief as there is no bad news to report on coarse wool demand problems.

Exporters report there is strong demand for merino and mid micron wools, although, as yet not a lot has been offered at auction.

Beef Some more slight easing of bull and manufacturing schedules by some, as the US market is filling with domestic supply.

Reports suggest global demand for beef is easing on the back of weaker US prices for grinding beef and there is a big increase of cattle on feed in that country.

Ospri NZ has opened consultation for the 2018 TB free programme as the goal to achieve TB free status now looks achievable, but the final push will be the hardest to meet.

Schedules continue to creep up as a critical supply period of September to November for Christmas supply options and pricing looms.

Processors are expressing concerns about pricing and demand for frozen product in all the main markets but, at present, the implications are slight as most of the present kill is sold chilled.

Blue Sky Meats has recorded another

Venison schedules lifted with Silver Fern Farms returning to publishing schedules at an improved rate of $9.20/kg for chilled product destined for the early European markets.

Velvet farmers are looking for a better season after reporting prices last year were 25 per cent back on the season before and are hoping the historic volatility in pricing will not return.

■ MYCOPLASMA BOVIS

Disease test a complex process The Ministry for Primary Industries is making good progress in its testing for the cattle disease Mycoplasma bovis, but it is a complex process that takes time, the ministry’s director of response Geoff Gwyn says.

Gwyn said MPI was carrying out surveillance and testing in a planned manner, based on prioritising risks and ensuring rigorous sampling and testing protocols are being followed to establish where the disease is present, so it can give farmers and the New Zealand public certainty.

Surveillance and testing began after the disease was confirmed on a Van Leeuwen Dairy Group farm in South Canterbury last month.

“We are 13 days into the response and we are making very good progress,” Gywn said late on Friday. “To give you an idea of the scale, our lab has processed around 1200 samples to date.”

Testing continues on 16 Van Leeuwen Dairy Group farms.

Two of those farms have tested positive to date. There are 62 properties bordering the VLDG farms, and we will be testing all that have cattle on them, Gwyn said.

“We have confirmed results

for nine of the bordering farms to date, with all being negative for Mycoplasma bovis,” he said.

“This is good news, but further testing on these farms will be required before they can be declared free of the disease and we expect testing to take several months.

“Sample testing is a complex process which takes time, and it’s important we take that time to get accurate results. The disease doesn’t always present symptoms so we need to take two sets of samples one month apart, and possibly a third depending on those results.

“I realise that farmers are keen to get answers as soon as possible.

“Our labs teams are working quickly and thoroughly seven days a week, and we have increased staff numbers to carry out the work.

“On average, the process takes up to seven days from taking the sample on-farm, to getting back to the farmer with the results.

“MPI vets, scientists and on the ground staff are working hard on the response and we are getting great support from industry organisations. We remain focused on eradicating this disease from New Zealand,” Gwyn said.

Farm plan wins highly-regarded award New Zealand farmer Matt Iremonger has won the highly-regarded Australasian business award, the Rabobank Dr John Morris Business Development Prize, and along with it $5000, for 2017.

Iremonger won the award for a strategic business plan he developed for a start-up farming enterprise in North Canterbury.

The plan – which was completed as a project as part of his Rabobank executive development programme studies – detailed the strategy for Kaiweka Farms Ltd, a new start-up farming company he has recently invested in, along with his wife Katy and two other farming families.

The new venture is a multi-enterprise pastoral and arable farming unit that provides a diversified income stream. The operation

currently runs crossbred ewes, beef cows, dairy heifer grazers and a selection of crops including barley, wheat, radishes and carrots.

Iremonger, who also works as general manager for Willesden Farms on Banks Peninsula near Christchurch, said the business plan for Kaiweka Farms outlined three horizons for the enterprise over the next five-year period.

“The first horizon was to purchase the farms and to get the business established. This horizon has largely been achieved through the purchase of the core properties as well two lease blocks.

“We’ve also set up a management structure for the business, with board meetings scheduled on a monthly basis and we’ve appointed a really talented team of

staff to run the business on a dayto-day basis,” he said.

The second horizon, he said, was the further development of the land, which will see investment into an irrigation scheme and infrastructure, while the final horizon is the aim to capture a greater proportion of the supply chain through the development of relationships with processors and retailers.

“While these horizons are a few years away, it’s really important for us that everyone who is involved in the venture buys into the business plan and is clear on where we want to take the business in the medium to long-term,” he said.

Iremonger said Kaiweka Farms’ aim for the future was to be within the top 10 per cent of farms for class and scale.

The mysteries of joined up writing

BY KATHLEEN STRINGER

D

o children still learn how to write? This is a question that the team here at Ashburton Museum have pondered for a while now.

While it makes sense that children become familiar with a keyboard as soon as possible, I am a little concerned writing is becoming a lost skill.

Last century, when I was a child, writing and printing were two separate things. Achieving both was an important part of the school curriculum and I remember the routine well.

Drawing in the air, then scrawling on blackboards, when we had mastered the letter of the day we could return to our desks and practice with a ‘black beauty’ – a very thick pencil, able to be grasped by our stubby little fingers.

Not only would our teacher check our penmanship, but also our posture, making sure we were sitting with straight backs, straight arms and at a correct distance from the paper.

Correctly forming the letters, as per Department of Education standards with no arty individuality allowed, was as important as correct spelling.

Slopes and curves As students we would agonise over the slope of our words, the curve of the letters and the spacing between each letter and words.

We would have to write over and over again, such weird sentences. My favourite, and the only one I can remember, being Icabod is itchy and so am I. As we got better we were tested for speed and had to write the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog as fast (but as neatly) as we could over a set period of time.

All this was taught, as well as grammar, punctuation and spelling. It was a tough life.

As primers we were handed a pencil and allowed to print. Writing (or joined up printing as we called it) didn’t become compulsory until we hit the standards.

Unhappily, at the same time our wonderfully forgiving pencils were taken from us, we were expected to use ball-point pens.

It all became quite messy and untidy for a while.

I was grateful that they progressed from pencil to ink in my mother’s day, so when I was about to start Standard One she got me a bottle of ink and some nibs to be ready for the New Year. I can only imagine the inky carnage that would have ensued if we hadn’t moved on to ballpoint pens.

Writing For a while it was considered that writing was more mature than printing and people struggled to write. Now it seems it doesn’t really matter if you print or write; just having something that isn’t from a computer is enough.

Even if you do write, most have developed their own style over the years and there possibly isn’t anyone who writes as their primary school teachers would have wished. However, back to my

Top – I bet these children knew how to write. Allenton school classroom, 1932.

Above – A page from Vere Fosters Copy-Book No.5, published by Blackie and Son Ltd., Dublin. This company produced a series of books focussing on particular writing styles, including ‘civil service script’ and numbers. Always educating, the books taught ‘proper’ values as well as handwriting.

Left – A page from the Mt Somers Road Board Minute Book.

It’s fairly easy to read, nice open hand, good spelling, but perhaps a word on the 12th line would get novices stumped.

The 12th line, featuring the ‘long s’, old-fashioned even in 1878 when these minutes were written. This troublesome feature sees two s’s written as a single f or p.

question – do children get taught writing as I was?

More and more I come across people for whom writing seems an alien concept.

Many refer to writing (cursive script) as joined up writing, which makes no sense as, for us old-schoolers, writing is joined up. This is a major concern for me, as I wonder if we are spawning a generation that will be unable to undertake research?

In the museum archive the majority of material is written. By far the largest collection of written material is from the council collection.

Within the many letters, notes and reports are a wide variety of styles. Some handwriting is almost beautiful – large copper-

plate script with hardly an ink blot to be seen. Other examples are scrawled, often badly spelt and brief.

Interestingly, many of the letters to council are written by women on behalf of their husbands, dispelling the myth that many of our ancestresses were illiterate. What a shame it would be not to be able to read them.

Loops and crosses While the loops and crosses may look, to some, as a new, undecipherable language, don’t let fear or confusion deny you the breadth and wealth of history that ours and other institutions hold.

Archives staff are always willing to assist and with a little patience you too may be able to read joined up words!

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.

In brief McCartney ninth Eliza McCartney’s bid to build on her stunning Olympic campaign never eventuated at the World Athletics Championships in London. The Kiwi pole vaulter has finished ninth in the women’s final, bowing out of the competition at 4.65 metres. McCartney failed all three attempts. “I put everything out there. I don’t really know what went wrong. I need to look at the video,” McCartney said following the final.

Century for Latham New Zealand test opener Tom Latham has scored a lively century in his debut for Durham. Taking guard in a first class match for the first time in five months, Latham reached 124 on the first day against a weakened Leicestershire at Leicester. He was the dominant partner in an opening stand of 234 with Cameron Steel (145 not out), in a 183-ball knock which featured 13 fours and two sixes.

Walsh strikes gold

By DaviD Leggat Tom Walsh saved his best until last yesterday – and by then he had world championship gold in his grasp.

Walsh bossed the shot put event in London, dominating qualifying and then proving himself conclusively the man of the moment.

Then, in a perfect piece of theatre, with the gold medal already secured, he heaved the stone out to his best distance of the night, 22.03 metres.

Call it a kind of ‘take that’ moment to his rivals.

He jumped, whooped and hol-

lered, and why not.

After all he’s the first New Zealand man to get on a world championship podium, and only the third from this country since the worlds began in 1983.

Valerie Adams has won four shot put titles, and a silver; Beatrice Faumuina kicked it off with discus gold in 1987.

Walsh’s beaming grin told it all.

Okay so the Olympic champion – and clearly the thrower to beat going in – American Ryan Crouser, was well off his best.

So Joe Kovacs, his squat countryman protested against a marginal no throw decision, which would have given him the lead

before Walsh’s final throw, and was denied and had to settle for second.

It doesn’t matter; you remember the final outcome, and Walsh the amiable 25-year-old builder from Timaru has had a day he’ll never forget.

Rio and the Olympic bronze medal a year ago was a wonderful achievement, but top of the world?

It gets no better.

It raises the old question of which matters more; Olympic or world championship success.

High Olympic achievement tends to be more easily remembered by those not particularly

close to the sport. It’s the one occasion every four years that ‘outsiders’ take notice. It sticks in the memory.

But ask the athletes and they’ll generally maintain the worlds are the biggie.

Olympic fields are often limited by numbers per country. At the worlds that’s not the case.

So it’s the best and it’s about who is the best on a specific date the athletes have known for a year.

It’s like the old Scouts motto: Be Prepared.

No one was more prepared, no one took his chance better, than Walsh.

■ NETBALL

Souness, Falkner make Silver Ferns squad The Silver Ferns selectors have made three changes to the national squad, including the addition of uncapped youngsters Monica Falkner and Whitney Souness.

With Silver Ferns coach Janine Southby rotating her line-up over the upcoming Quad Series and Taini Jamison Trophy, both players will have the opportunity to make their international debut over the next month.

Souness has been named in the 12-strong Quad Series team,

while Falkner has been included in the test line-up for the Taini Jamison series against England in September.

The other change sees Temalisi Fakahokotau return to the national squad for the first time since 2014. Fakahokotau debuted for Silver Ferns in 2014, when she was just 19, but failed to build on her breakthrough season and was later dropped from the squad.

Falkner, a crafty goal attack, has been elevated to the senior

squad after helping the under-21 side to back-to-back titles at the World Youth Cup in Botswana last month.

The 21-year-old, who is studying towards a science degree at Waikato University, said her Silver Ferns selection came as a major surprise having only just completed her first season of top-level netball with the Magic.

“It’s just gone from zero to one hundred very fast. This time last year I had just finished my first Beko season,” said Falkner.

“I am just embracing it and I guess just being willing to learn and develop every chance I can.”

Souness caught the eye of selectors after a strong season with the Central Pulse. The selection of the dynamic midcourter comes after she missed most of the 2016 season with a serious knee injury suffered over the back end of 2015.

The Porirua-born star said the tough couple of years made today’s news all the more rewarding.

Ameliaranne Ekenasio and Aliyah Dunn will form part of a new-look shooting combination for Central Pulse in next year’s national netball premiership. Ekenasio, who has 12 Silver Ferns caps to her name, returns after missing the 2017 season through pregnancy, while 17-year-old Dunn has been lured north from Invercargill. Dunn joins Tiana Metuarau and Mila Reuelu-Buchanan at the Pulse, the trio part of this year’s World Youth Cup-winning New Zealand under-21 team.

Sprint double for US Tori Bowie claimed the 100-metres world title for the US as Jamaican Olympic champion Elaine Thompson failed to win a medal – the day after Justin Gatlin had also won the men’s race for the Americans. Bowie got her first major title in 10.86 seconds, dipping across the line onehundredth of a second ahead of Ivory Coast’s Marie-Josee Ta Lou at the world championships in London. “I never give up until I’m over the line,” Bowie said.

Redemption for Nyika New Zealand heavyweight David Nyika believes he is ready for a shot at redemption when he fights at the boxing world championships in Hamburg. The Commonwealth Games light heavyweight champion has struggled to replicate his success in Glasgow since stepping up a division. However the 22-year-old has enjoyed his best period as a heavyweight this year, going unbeaten at the World Boxing Series team championship before defending his Oceania title on the Gold Coast in June. - NZME

Zverev wins Washington Rising tennis star Alexander Zverev has won his first ATP title on an outdoor hard court, claiming the Washington Open against veteran South African Kevin Anderson.

The eighth-ranked Zverev easily dispatched Anderson 6-4 6-4 yesterday to win the Washington event for his fourth ATP title of the year, matching Rafael Nadal’s victory total. Only Roger Federer has more titles this season, with five.

The impressive 16-year-old qualified poorly and took 10th place in the first race of the weekend, but he turned his weekend around in the final race, storming to his third win of the season.

Masters hit the water

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

Organisers of the South Island Short Course Masters Swimming competition were delighted after another successful event was held, with 20 New Zealand records being broken during the two-day event.

“It was absolutely brilliant,

there were 20 New Zealand records wiped,” said Ashburton Masters Swimming secretary Helen Argyle.

“The president of New Zealand Masters Swimming was there and he said they had never had a tally like it.”

Argyle said despite the numbers being down on previous

years’ competitions, the level of swimming was still extremely high, with former Olympians and Commonwealth Games representatives taking to the pool.

“It is really marvellous to have them there and is absolutely brilliant to see,” she said.

The Ashburton club fared well in the club competition, racking

up the second-highest total of points for the clubs there.

“We only had 62 there, but there is a lot of flu going around and that knocked a few out,” she said.

Argyle said six clubs from the North Island made the trip down to compete, as well as clubs from around the South Island.

South Sydney’s NRL games record holder John Sutton says he’s confident of securing a new contract and extending his career at the club into a 15th first grade season next year. Five-eighth turned forward Sutton, 32, who has notched 278 NRL games since his debut in 2004, hasn’t ruled out playing somewhere else next season, but wants to remain in the Rabbitohs burrow. “It would probably feel strange, but hopefully I can get something sorted (with Souths) and I won’t have to worry about it,” Sutton said yesterday.

Tigers’ turnaround Coach Ivan Cleary says the turnaround is well and truly under way at the Wests Tigers after yet another whole-hearted effort in their tense 28-14 NRL loss to Penrith. The Tigers pushed the Panthers for 75 minutes on Sunday before fading in the final moments.

And while the joint venture remains on track to finish with its worst campaign in club history, Cleary insists there have been signs of life for the best part of two months.

“The difference in the side now compared to eight weeks ago is enormous,” Cleary said.

■ ROWING

Disappointing finish at junior worlds

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

Ashburton’s Veronica Wall has wrapped up her Junior World Rowing Championship campaign with a sixth-placed finish in the C-final.

Rowing in the double sculls category with partner Sydney Johnson, the pair only finished four-hundredths of a second behind the America boat in fifth, and seven seconds behind race winners Australia.

After a promising start in the heats where the pair finished third behind the Italians and the French boats, who raced in the A and B finals respectively, Wall and Johnson were only able to manage a fifth-place finish in the quarter-final.

This meant at best they would be racing in the C-final, or at worst, the D-final. A third-place finish in the semi-final booked their place in the C-final.

The result makes for a change of pace for Wall, who was coming off yet another super successful Maadi Cup campaign, where she once again won four gold medals.

It was Wall’s second time attending the Junior World Championships after she raced in the quadruple sculls event in Rotterdam last year, finishing fourth in the A-final.

Melbourne Storm is quietly confident about Ryan Hoffman returning to the club next season.

Storm officials have held talks with Hoffman, 33, about a possible comeback after the Warriors informed the veteran forward a new contract would not be forthcoming. The second-rower made 245 appearances at Storm between 2003-10 and 2012-14 including three grand final wins. - NZME

Titans facing fallout

Veronica Wall in action.

Gold Coast must show that the upfor-sale NRL club is worth backing, forward Jarrod Wallace says, after reports emerged a potential buyer was turned off by their recordbreaking loss to Brisbane. The Titans were handed a 54-0 hiding on Saturday, forcing former owner Darryl Kelly to admit he now has second thoughts about buying back the club from the NRL later this year.

Apologising for the team’s limp performance, Wallace was also forced to deny claims that the playing group had lost faith in coach Neil Henry.

■ MONARCH CHIMES

Taking the quiet approach Monarch Chimes’ trainers aren’t concerned about their rising jumping star going a month between runs in his build-up to the Great Northern Hurdles.

The Cambridge six-year-old is unbeaten over the smaller fences and David and Emma-Lee Browne are happy to keep him ticking over at home until the Harrison Lane Hurdle on August 26.

“He’ll run at the Pakuranga Hunt meeting next and it might be quite a long time between runs from his last race, but we think that will suit him best,” EmmaLee Browne said.

Monarch Chimes will then return to Ellerslie to tackle the Schweppes Great Northern Hurdles on September 9.

“He doesn’t cop a lot of racing and we don’t want to run him on the flat somewhere just for the sake of it,” Browne said.

“He thrives on confidence and that’s at a real high at the moment.”

Monarch Chimes was an easy debut hurdle winner at Te Aroha early last month and he then

comfortably accounted for the reigning Grand National Hurdle winner Ngario and the capable Raisafuasho at Rotorua.

“He’s been really good and obviously it’s a step up every time and hopefully he can carry on,” Browne said.

The stable has known for some time that the Shinko King gelding had a bright future over fences after regular schooling him at home.

“A couple of years ago David told one of the owners Dave Fullerton not to worry when his flat career finished, he would be jumping then,” Browne said.

Meanwhile, promising stablemate Mofara has progressed well following a trial outing at Te Teko last week.

“He’ll go down to Hawke’s Bay for the special conditions race on the first day (September 2),” Browne said.

Fourth in last season’s Gr.2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes on debut, Mofara hasn’t raced since the Iffraaj colt finished second behind the unbeaten Bostonian at Hastings in April.

“We’ll have to give the injury time to heal now,” he said. “On behalf of my family and Darren, I’d like to thank everybody for their prayers.”

TODAY’S GOALS: Good – 11 Excellent – 16 Amazing – 19

Previous solution: FAMILIAR 9

10

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): If “someday” hasn’t come over the span of a year, it may not come ever. As you get rid of the things you’re holding onto for “someday” you’re also making room for fresh energy and interests.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Learning is faster than relearning. Children learn fast because they’ve a clean slate that doesn’t need to be overwritten.

You’ll pick up new subjects quickly but be slow to change the way you do something.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): People have different tastes.

What you make, do or present is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. Success occurs when you focus on offering what you believe in and are proud of, not what you think they’ll want.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Doing it right once is a good start. Twice creates early momentum. Three times is a pattern. For an action to be called successful, it must be able to be repeated time and again with predictable results.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You delight in entertaining others, if not in the formal sense then in the impulse you have to keep people guessing.

It’s a relationship skill (Maybe even a public service) that keeps you creative and engaged.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’ve a rather unreasonable agenda today, and that’s no cause for worry.

Unreasonable things get accomplished all the time. Just be compassionate toward yourself as you push on.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Decisions are hard enough without the pressure of needing to be right all the time.

Before you enter a situation, remember that it’s okay to be wrong sometimes. You make better choices from a lighter mindset.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The young soak up the positive, the pretty and the well-intentioned as if they were gospel. Even their grievances are taken and absorbed from other sources. Maturity is a firsthand understanding of likes and dislikes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The way you think is beautiful. It’s often accurate, organised and kind, but not always. Anyway, beauty has as much to do with quirks as it does consistencies.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Just about anyone can hear you when you talk. It’s the one who hears you when you don’t talk who deserves a special place in your personal life.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Hearts are heavy around you, but they’ll become lighter once they vent a little. If you have to hear out a few complaints, consider it a help to society.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Perhaps it doesn’t look like much, but this is actually a pretty interesting crossroads you’ve come to. No pressure or anything, but one decision could change everything!

Sport Keys claims WTA final Madison Keys won her first hard court title yesterday with a hard-fought victory over the Pat Cash-trained Coco Vandeweghe in the Stanford Classic final in California. Tournament No.3 three seed Keys, conqueror of Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza in the semi-finals, beat 25-year-old Vandeweghe 7-6 (7-4) 6-4 in a final which lasted an hour and 28 minutes. Keys put recent wrist problems behind her, taking the first of three match points with a powerful forehand.

Form trio confirmed

Despite it being a fundraising game, the tackles were far from charitable in the annual clash between the Methven Rugby Club and the Gorge Musterers,

played on Saturday.

Methven Rugby Club secretary John Fulton said nearly $2000 had been raised for Methven St John from the match.

“It was a good crowd and about the same as it has been in

the past few years,” he said.

“There was good support from the community for the event on the day and during the week.”

Fulton said it was a tough, physical game of rugby, with many of the players playing at a

Senior B level, providing a high level of rugby on the day.

The match has been running for nearly 60 years, with Methven taking out the win this year, running out 37-21 winners on the day.

All Blacks dump Savea Wing Julian Savea is the highprofile absentee from the All Blacks Rugby Championship squad named yesterday.

There is no room for the Hurricanes player, who turned 27 yesterday.

Savea, a virtual automatic selection on the left wing since

making his test debut in 2012 has this year struggled to rediscover the sort of form which has seen him score 46 tries in 54 tests.

He was left on the reserves bench for the Hurricanes’ semifinal defeat by the Lions in Johannesburg.

Another to miss out is Crusaders flanker Matt Todd, outstanding again for his team during their Super Rugby final victory over the Lions at Ellis Park.

Head coach Steve Hansen said: “Firstly, we congratulate all players selected for the Investec Rugby Championship.

Three in-form golfers are confirmed starters for this year’s New Zealand Women’s Open. Rising Englishwoman Jodi Ewart Shadoff is among the trio, who all finished in the top six at the Women’s British Open which finished in Scotland yesterday. Ewart Shadoff shot a course record-equalling 64 to finish second in the year’s fourth major. She will be joined at New Zealand’s first-ever LPGA tournament

by Caroline Masson of France and Korean Jenny Shin.

“Conversely, we commiserate with all those who have missed out on selection, particularly Julian Savea and the unlucky Matt Todd, both of whom have made great contributions to the All Blacks jersey and will do so again in the future, I’m sure.”

Christie in top form New Zealand surfer Ricardo Christie has boosted hopes of returning to the elite Championship Tour after a strong showing at the US Open of Surfing. Christie was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the event at California’s Huntington Beach, one of the major legs on the second-tier World Qualifying Series. He climbed from 25th to ninth in the standings.

The leading 10 surfers at the end of the WQS season win automatic Championship Tour berths next year.
