The Ashburton Chinese market garden settlement’s historical importance was recognised yesterday. PHOTO HEATHER MACKENZIE 070719-HM-0128
Archaeologically A peek at Parliament significant site P3
Wakanui up against P15 it
The historical significance of Ashburton’s Chinese market garden settlement was officially recognised yesterday. Under the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014 the settlement has been declared an archaeologically significant site, one of only a handful of post 1900 sites in New Zealand to receive this declaration. The former Chinese market garden settlement was established in 1921 and the declaration will strengthen protection for the site. The Ng King Chinese Market Garden Settlement on Allens Road is considered to be the only remaining set of Chinese settlement buildings associated with early 20th Century market gardening in New Zealand. Although some of the original buildings have been removed or demolished, the core of the settlement remains standing, including an outdoor pig roasting oven which was restored in 2013. Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga senior archeologist, Frank van der Heijden, said the site was a rare and
probably unique example of a Chinese market garden settlement in New Zealand that still had much of its fabric intact. “There is the potential to learn a huge amount from this site, and I am very grateful to the families for their help while I was working on the archaeological assessment,” he said. The declaration was a special moment for the descendants of the settlements owner, the Ng King families and for the wider community, mayor Donna Favel said. “It is a momentous achievement for the protection and preservation of the market garden. This settlement is a unique reminder of a once-flourishing business, the 20th Century Chinese immigrants who drove it, and the important contribution they made to the Ashburton community and wider Canterbury region,” she said. Buildings in the settlement are already protected under the council’s district plan but the whole site would now have protection and that meant any
earthworks or proposals to develop the land would require permission from us along with the landowners. Descendants of the five original settlement land owners have retained ownership of the site, which is now managed by the council. It has been actively working to preserve and restore the site, under the guidance of the Chinese Settlement Working Group. This group would now have greater clarity around management of the site, working group chair Leen Braam said. “The declaration will help to inform our management decisions moving forward, and may also assist with any future funding applications to restore the buildings. Today’s declaration is a terrific outcome for the Chinese market garden and confirms its significance to the history of Chinese settlement in our district and New Zealand in general,” he said. Declaration under the act is decided by the Board of Heritage New Zealand, after carrying out extensive investigation and consultation.

Mighty Merinos third
Body of Korean man found in Arthur’s Pass National Park
By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz
The Mighty Merinos from Mt Somers Springburn School will be heading back home with their heads held high after finishing third at the national AgriKids competition in Napier at the weekend. The team of Ruby Giera, James Clark and Lachlan Rooney finished third, and were pleased with the result, said teacher Hayley Duthie. “It is a very good result and they are pretty stoked,” she said. The trio had to compete in a variety of challenges, including a race-off involving tasks such as throwing a horse shoe in to a bucket, a quiz and essay on an unknown topic and working through a number of modules based on sponsors of the events. “Typically it is the modules where they do really well but two of them competed last year and said the race-off wasn’t as tricky as last year,” she said. The team also finished second in the costume and banner competition, which was another highlight, said Duthie. “Sean (Wansbrough) the principal took them to lots of different places to try and school them up on a few things,” she said. Mid Canterbury was also represented by another team, with the Ashburton Intermediate School Fencers travelling to Napier for the competition as well.

A Korean man died in Arthur’s Pass National Park at the weekend, and indications suggest he may have fallen down a steep bluff. Emergency services launched a search and rescue operation for the 24-yearold on Saturday night after he separated from a walking companion. A police spokeswoman said search teams located the man’s body yesterday afternoon. He first went missing on Saturday afternoon and after the search was postponed that night, it continued from first light yesterday. Earlier, the police spokeswoman said four search and rescue teams, as well as a helicopter from the West Coast, searched for the man.
The spokeswoman said the man appeared to have been dressed for a short walk, not as if he was equipped to be out overnight. He was last seen on the Bealey Spur Track – the Department of Conservation describes the track as six kilometres long and taking two hours and 30 minutes oneway. Located around 1200m above sea level, the Bealey Spur Hut houses six bunk beds and is open access. The track to the Bealey Spur Hut starts from the car-park off State Highway 73, just past the Bealey Hotel near the Arthur’s Pass village. According to DOC, the track appeals to walkers because it is more gradual than most alpine tracks around the village and does not climb above the bush line.

In brief
Jessica gets Parliament peek
Teddy bear sleepover
Ashburton’s Jessica Timmo has had her first look into the halls of power at Wellington as she gears up for Youth Parliament this month. The 17-year-old Ashburton College student is Labour List MP based in Rangitata Jo Luxton’s Youth MP, one of 120 teenagers chosen by MPs in electorates from throughout New Zealand. The Youth MPs will descend on the capital from July 16 to 17 for Youth Parliament 2019. Jessica said it was an amazing experience to visit Parliament for a sneak peek last week, courtesy of Luxton. She even got to see two of her idols, Green MP Chloe Swarbrick and Labour MP Tamati Coffey, in action. Youth MPs will not only gain an insight into the lives of MPs, but also get the opportunity to be heard on issues they are passionate about. For Timmo, this is mental health. “Within the organisations and committees I involve myself in, I am constantly pushing for services and opportunities to be available for our young people of today,” she said.
Serious crash
Teddy bears have a special place in many children’s lives and to celebrate those very special furry creatures the Ashburton Museum is holding a teddy bears’ sleepover. The sleepover will be held on Tuesday and next day those teddy bears will be inviting their human owners to join them for a range of activities and a shared lunch. Ashburton’s event coincides with World Teddy Bear Picnic Day and is for all teddies brave enough to spend a night away from their human friends. Teddies can be dropped off at the Ashburton Museum between noon and 3pm on Tuesday and human friends can join their teddies the next morning.
Emergency services responded to a single-vehicle crash on Anama Valetta Road on Friday evening. A police spokesperson said it was reported to them at around 10.05pm, with one person appearing to sustain serious injuries.

Lynnford Hall – looking for life, love By Sue Newman
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
At the intersection of two rural roads sits an elderly wooden building. Today it’s falling into disrepair, no longer used. It is home to birds in its spouting and mice in its walls, but in its heyday the Lynnford Hall was the hub of its district. The hall started its life as the Huntingdon district’s hall before being relocated to the corner of Boundary and Lynnford roads in 1912, opening as a rural schoolroom in 1913 with a roll of 20 students. Over the coming years, the building became the education base for dozens of the district’s children, with its roll peaking at 28 in 1930 before beginning a gradual decline, dropping to 16 in 1940. Its closure was inevitable and the last of its students left in 1950, with families then choosing from several nearby schools – Hinds, Willowby and Eiffelton – for their children’s education. For years Diane Lowe has been the keeper of the hall’s keys. She’s done little business with very few requests for bookings in recent years. Today there are none, she said.

First-time comedians have crowd in stitches By Susan Sandys
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Getting up in front of an audience and trying out a few jokes to see if you can get a laugh is a daunting prospect. But half a dozen men and women bravely took on the challenge at the Taking the Piste – Comedy Night in Methven on Thursday. Far from dying on stage, they lived to tell the story, which ended with the sell-out crowd in stitches. “I can’t believe it was the first time doing comedy for the majority of the line-up, they blew me away,” said organiser and MC Bec Sandys.
Maxine Milne, Tammy Dickson, Peter Livingstone, Stacey Jackson, Melanie Page and Robbie (Gooserooter) Shefford travelled from their homes in Methven, Ashburton and Geraldine to deliver their comedic tales. Sandys is herself a comedian and comedy producer, originally from Mid Canterbury and now based in Christchurch and Auckland. She said giving locals an opportunity to perform had worked so well she was already planning a second night. The next gig is August 1, tickets will be $10 from Arabica or Eventfinda, from Monday.

Info hub had support By Sue Newman
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
The driving force behind a bid to bring back an information base in central Ashburton says he’s disappointed the project is not proceeding. Tony Todd led a community rally against the closure of the town’s i-SITE in 2017 and was outspoken in his criticism of the Ashburton District Council’s decision. He fought for several months to overturn that decision and then joined with two other businessmen to form the Information Hub. This group wanted to start a privately run information centre in the i-SITE building but could not reach agreement with the council over lease terms. This led to the Hub group calling time on their project this week. Personally, Todd said he was
Tony Todd very disappointed that the Hub project had not proceeded. “I find it totally illogical that council now say they need an Info Hub in the new civic centre but don’t see the need to maintain an Info Hub in the present building situated in its excellent location on the East Street green,” Todd said.
It also seemed an odd decision to close a central town information base when there were five million visitors coming to New Zealand each year, many of them driving through Ashburton, he said. “Are we the only town in New Zealand without the welcome mat out for our visitors?” The council will include an information hub in the new civic centre and library to be built in Baring Square East and Todd said he hoped this would not be a service that was relegated to a corner of the library as an addon service. Rather than removing the i-SITE building and the central water feature to make way for the re-design of Ashburton’s town centre, Todd suggested that the design should retain both and use them as central features.

■■DOG REGISTRATION
No electronic tracking for district’s dogs Dogs in some parts of New Zealand might be sporting sophisticated electronic dog tags but the option to do the same in the Ashburton District could be some time coming. Lower Hutt is now offering dog owners an opportunity to link to the free Doggone App, a virtual ID profile of a dog created by its owner. It’s all about reuniting lost dogs with their owners. The Hutt City Council trialled the tags last year and decided they’d offer them this year to dog owners as an option to the traditional strip registration. Registration with the bluetooth Doggone tag, however, is more expensive.
Ashburton District Council environmental services manager Jane Donaldson said there were a number of issues that needed to be resolved before the app could be used as the Dog Control Act was not set up for it. Several councils had trialled the app, which had been around for more than a year, she said. Owners of dogs aged three months and older must register their dogs for the new financial year. Registrations must be completed by July 31 or a late registration fee will be imposed. Owners of dogs still not registered by September 1 may receive an infringement fee.

Quakes rock California AP A quake with a magnitude as large as 7.1 jolted much of California at the weekend, cracking buildings, starting fires, breaking roads and causing several injuries, authorities and residents said. The quake, preceded by Thursday’s 6.4-magnitude temblor in the Mojave Desert, was the largest Southern California temblor in at least 20 years and was followed by a series of large and small aftershocks. It hit at 8.19pm and was centred 17km from Ridgecrest in the same areas where the previous quake hit. But it was felt as far north as Sacramento, as far east as Las Ve-
gas and as far south as Mexico. Early magnitude estimates from the US Geological Survey wavered between 6.9 and 7.1. The area in and around Ridgecrest, already trying to recover from the previous temblor, took the brunt of damage. Megan Person, director of communications for the Kern County Fire Department, said there were reports of multiple injuries and multiple fires, but she didn’t have details. Meanwhile, a rockslide closed State Route 178 in Kern River Canyon, where photos from witnesses also showed that a stretch of roadway had sunk. San Bernardino County firefighters reported cracked buildings and one minor
injury. In downtown Los Angeles, 150 miles away, offices in skyscrapers rolled and rocked for at least 30 seconds. Governor Gavin Newsom activated the state Office of Emergency Services operations centre “to its highest level”. “The state is co-ordinating mutual aid to local first responders,” he said. Lucy Jones, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology and a former science adviser at the Geological Survey, tweeted that Thursday’s earthquake was a “foreshock” and that the weekend quake was on the same fault system as the earlier quake. Firefighters around Southern California were mobilised to check for damage.

Wonder needs transplant Stevie Wonder has revealed he will undergo a kidney transplant later this year. According to the Daily Mail, the iconic singer revealed the news to the crowd during his set at British Summer Time in London’s Hyde Park. Wonder said he has a donor lined up and that he will undergo the procedure in September after playing a few more shows. He told the crowd: “I’m all good, I’m all good, all good, I have a donor and it’s all good.” Fans reportedly gave the singer cheers of support and rapturous applause as he left the stage. Wonder, 69, is known for his classic hits such as Superstition, You Are the Sunshine of My Life and I Just Called to Say I Love You. - AP

Archie’s godparents a secret AP Archie Mountbatten-Windsor’s dad Harry is the major driving force behind keeping the godparents’ names quiet. The Church of England have confirmed that The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will file the birth of the newest royal member in a secret register, The Sun reports. But despite taxpayers funding the $4.5 million bill for Harry and Meghan’s Frogmore Cottage renovation, the public may never learn who Archie’s godparents are. A source close to the couple said: “People might think Meghan responsible for this whole privacy thing but it is Harry leading the charge. He wants Archie to be a private citizen in every way possible.” The names of Royal newcomers are normally registered to the public but it is understood that Harry wants all details kept private. Graham Smith, of anti-monarchy group Republic, said the secrecy move was an example of Harry and Meghan “bending the law to their wishes rather than having it applied equally”. He added: “If they keep spending our
Fire officials responded to an explosion at a Florida shopping centre at the weekend and said about 15 to 20 people were injured, two of them seriously. The blast tore through The Fountains shopping centre in Plantation, about six miles west of Fort Lauderdale, fire Battalion Chief Joel Gordon said. First responders found an active gas leak when they got to the strip mall, Gordon said, but had not confirmed whether that caused the explosion. The leak has been secured, Gordon said. Officials said they had found several people injured in and near an LA Fitness gym in the shopping centre but had not found anyone trapped. “We’re still searching the collapse area for any leftover victims,” Gordon said, “but at this point we believe we’ve accounted for everyone.” Live streams of the area showed part of the shopping centre entirely torn away. Debris flew across the street, WJXT in Jacksonville reported. All stores and businesses near The Fountains and Plantation Marketplace, another nearby shopping centre, were closed indefinitely.
‘Wife carrying’ champions A Lithuanian man and his wife have won the world ‘wife carrying’ title, leaping over timber and wading through waisthigh water to beat dozens of other couples for a second year running. The prize is the wife’s weight in beer. Vytautas Kirkliauskas and his wife Neringa Kirkliauskiene cleared a grueling 253.5m obstacle course in 1 minute 6.72 seconds. That was just a tenth of a second ahead of former six-time world champion, Finland’s Taisto Miettinen and his new partner Katja Kovanen. “After the second obstacle I thought I wouldn’t make, but it’s a great result” Kirkliauskas said, adding “my wife, she is the best.” Couples from over a dozen countries took part in the annual race in the central Finnish municipality of Sonkajarvi. - AP

Sarah’s Savage image By Susan Sandys
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
A rest break on a road trip down south presented the perfect opportunity for Sarah Crispin-Naish to create an award-winning photo. Her sepia-toned picture of barbed wire, taken at the Clyde Dam, won the $400 Roco Promotional Printing Merit Award at the Ashburton Society of Arts annual exhibition which opened last week. The exhibition is under way at the Ashburton Art Gallery. Crispin-Naish said she and husband Jeff were on their way to Clyde for a Christmas holiday last summer, when Jeff wanted to pull over and listen to a horse race. She decided to get out and stretch her legs, and take her camera equipment with her. On top of a fence at the dam entrance way, she noticed barbed wire and razor wire, the latter in particular having a savageness about it. “That one looked extra nasty, which is quite nice for a photo,” Crispin-Naish said. The way the two types of wire circled around each other inspired her, and she snapped a picture. It was mid-afternoon on an overcast day with flat light, and she used the sky as a backdrop. The image, entitled Savage, was among two she entered in the exhibition. The other featured the tips of branches with redtinged leaves pointing skywards. It was also taken against the sky, and entitled Safari Sunset. Crispin-Naish often takes photos in her line of work as a graphic designer. But it is also a passion she likes to pursue in her own time. “Whenever I go away on holiday, the first thing I take is my camera,” she said. “It’s just being in the right place at the right time, and having the right lighting.”

OUR VIEW
Young or old should be no barrier W
hat were you doing when you were 15? It is probably a question a lot of tennis and sports fans have been asking themselves in the past week as American teen Cori Gauff has taken Wimbledon by storm. For most 15-year-olds, their time is spent between school and social media, and not under the scrutiny of the worldwide media at one of, if not the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world. But why so often is the question asked, “what were you doing when you were (insert age of succesful young sportsperson
here)”? It is always fantastic to see younger people performing well on the sports stage, but just because you have not always made it to the world stage before your 20th birthday does not mean your hopes and aspirations are over yet.
There are plenty of sports stars who haven’t made to the big time till later in their careers. Look at our very own Tim Perry, who took some time get his first Super Rugby contract and was called up to the All Blacks closer to his 30th birthday than most. In the tennis world alone, the likes of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are still going strong well in to their 30s. Other areas of the world can lend themselves to being of an older age. Politics is one that tends to be dominated by those who have lived a bit more of their lives than
others, with a few exceptions to the case. That is of course not saying you need to be older to be a successful politician. Green MP Chloe Swarbrick has shown herself to be very handy in her role at age 25. There are a lot of expectations and stereotypes placed around age in society these days, and they really need to be changed. All old people drive slowly, all young people drive their cars dangerously, only middle-aged people can have a crisis about where they are in their life. As long as those expectations continue, someone may feel put
off doing something because they are not the ‘right age’. A tennis player might think they are too old to have a crack at playing at Wimbledon, a young person may think they are too young to enter the political arena. As long as people have the desire to do something and the ability to do something, that is what should be celebrated. So while Cori Gauff is basking in her Wimbledon glory, don’t ask the question “what were you doing when I was 15?” ask yourself what can you be doing at your age now that people might not think you could?
In 1994, Kim Il Sung, North Korea’s communist leader since 1948, died at age 82. In 2011, former first lady Betty Ford died in Rancho Mirage, California, at age 93. Atlantis thundered into orbit on a cargo run that would close out the three-decade U.S. space shuttle program. In 2017, at the Group of 20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, world powers lined up against President Donald Trump on climate change, reaffirming their support for international efforts to fight global warming. On trade, the US and international partners endorsed open markets while acknowledging that countries had a right to put up barriers to block unfair practices. Ten years ago: Group of Eight leaders, including President
Barack Obama, pledged to dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 as they met in L’Aquila, Italy.

One year ago: A woman who was poisoned in southwest England died, eight days after she may have touched a contaminated item containing the same type of military-grade nerve agent used to poison a former Russian spy

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Monday, July 8, the 189th day of 2019. There are 176 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On July 8, 1947, a New Mexico newspaper, the Roswell Daily Record, quoted officials at Roswell Army Air Field as saying they had recovered a “flying saucer” that crashed onto a ranch; officials then said it was actually a weather balloon. On this date: In 1776, Col John Nixon gave the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence, outside the State House (now Independence Hall) in Philadelphia. In 1893, the New Zealand Racing Conference was formed to control the thoroughbred horseracing industry in New Zealand. In 1911, cowgirl Two-Gun Nan Aspinwall became the first woman to make a solo trip by horse across the United States, arriving in New York 10 months after departing San Francisco. In 1947, demolition work began in New York City to make way for the new permanent headquarters of the United Nations. In 1950, President Harry S Truman named Gen Douglas MacArthur commander-in-chief of United Nations forces in Korea. In 1965, Canadian Pacific Air Lines Flight 21, a Douglas DC-6B, crashed in British Columbia after the tail separated from the fuselage; all 52 people on board were killed in what authorities said was the result of an apparent bombing. In 1972, the Nixon administration announced a deal to sell $750 million in grain to the Soviet Union. In 1975, President Gerald R Ford announced he would seek a second term of office. In 1986, Kurt Waldheim was inaugurated as president of Austria despite controversy over his alleged ties to Nazi war crimes. Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, widely regarded as father of the nuclear navy, died in Arlington, Virginia.

hat’s often forgotten amongst some of the sillier political bickering is the crucial role electorate MPs can play. Through my offices locally here in Ashburton and down in Timaru I’ve been able to help hundreds of people since becoming your local MP less than two years ago. Today I’m at the top end of the Rakaia kicking off a series of 20 clinics over four days across Mid and South Canterbury. They’re an important opportunity for anyone to raise issues with me, seek my help, or tell me what you think our Parliament should be focused on. Sometimes the issues are straightforward to resolve. An email to a regional director in Christchurch to get someone into housing. A phone call to head office in Wellington to ensure someone receives the right financial support. A well-worded letter to a Minister to get them to reconsider a visa application for a family who have become part of our community. Sometimes it’s not so easy. More often than not our Government agencies do get it right and the policy has been applied correctly, however heart-breaking that might be in some circumstances. There’s often demands to change the law. Despite the fact that Parliament changes laws nearly every day we are in session, it’s not something that’s done on a whim. There has to be sound reason. Unintended consequences have to be considered. And wording has to be heavily scrutinised to avoid lawyers and the courts misinterpreting intent. In my short time in Parliament, for legislation I’ve considered writing, that threshold has been met twice. The first, a draft law I wrote soon after entering Parliament, would remove concurrent sentencing for violent and recidivist offenders, meaning they’d serve each sentence they were given. I drafted it after meeting with victims of violent crime who were angry that perpetrators

were getting no additional sentence when committing multiple crimes. It’s yet to pass, but I’m hopeful that it will despite opposition from Labour’s Justice Minister Andrew Little. The second bill I’ve written is more recent. Last year a family in South Canterbury, the MacDonalds, welcomed New Zealand’s first quadruplets in more than two decades. The grandmother came to see me in my office about the current support arrangements for families of multiple births which provide for home help support hours to use on things like childcare. Parents of twins receive 240 hours of support in the first year if they have another child under the age of five. Parents of triplets receive 1560 hours to be used within two years. But weirdly, despite the arrangements clearly recognising that more kids equals more support, it’s capped at the level for triplets. I’ve now drafted an amendment to those arrangements, extending the support
available to parents of quadruplets to 1940 hours. Importantly, I’ve “future-proofed” the arrangements by providing an additional 380 hours for each additional child in multiple births beyond that. I’ve also extended the time the support can be taken to be over three years, which aligns it to when 20 hours free Early Childhood Education can be accessed. The policy has been costed at around $7000 a year, a tiny amount for Government, but incredibly important for a family at what can be a difficult time. This week I’ll be asking the Government to support my legislation, to make life just a bit easier for the MacDonalds and other families.

Taiwan has a diverse culinary culture highlighted in the street food at the Shilin Night Markets.
Eating like a true local NZME
O
ne of the best ways to get an understanding and connection with a culture is through sharing food. Taiwan has a diverse culinary culture that can vary from street food at the Shilin Night Markets in Taipei, traditional Chinese food, or a banquet of the food typically sourced and cooked by its indigenous population. This style of food is foraged and hunted from natural resources; typical dishes include taro, sweet potato, game such as deer and boar, and wild greens. Though the indigenous people in Taiwan make up less than 2 per cent of the population, you can still sample authentic indigenous cuisine at select restaurants across the country. Gi Kau Restaurant in Sandimen is one of the best. Set among misty green hills, Gi Kau has the vibe of a serene chateau in the mountains. Artsy waterfalls and sculptures welcome guests – largely locals – into a large space spread over two open levels with beautiful wooden chairs and a cosy feel. A refreshing iced tea got us started while our guide ordered

Sweetheart roll at Gi Kau restaurant in Taiwan. for us from the Mandarin-only menu. We learned early on that you let the wait staff know when the teapot is empty by leaving the lid slightly tipped and giving a wave. Our feast arrived swiftly. The
vegetable spring rolls on baby lettuce leaves topped with currants was a favourite, along with the croissant-like buns called Shortbread with Pork. You make your own by tearing the shortbread down the middle
and filling it up with tasty panfried saucy pork. “Don’t forget the lettuce,” chided our guide. “You need your greens too.” One side dish had thick cuts of bitter gourds stir-fried with eggs. It was dark green with really corrugated skin. Taste-wise it was a wonderful dish and the bitter gourd was perfectly done – crunchy and yet not overly bitter. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, similar to how duck is cooked in New Zealand. The Exotic Sweetheart Rolls – deep-fried taro puffs with a crispy thin noodle-like texture around the outside topped with a swirl of delicious sweet sauce served as dessert. My only complaint was the sight of a dog sitting on a chair at a nearby table being fed slices of chicken while wearing a nappy. Now that’s something you don’t see every day. The Taroko Village Hotel is another prime location for sampling indigenous cuisine centred around seasonal vegetables.
I opted for the $14 Health Meal where I picked a main dish (vegetarian fried ginger noodles and bok choy) and was presented with an assortment of small dishes as entrees. As my plates were brought out, I noticed the delicacy in which they were served in carved wooden plates, especially the dish carrying the wild vegetable salad that was shaped like a hunting sword. The local tribe creates these works of art themselves and we were surrounded in the dining room by hundreds of incredible carvings, mostly of wild boars, which the tribe hunts for food. A highlight of the meal was the mushroom soup with daylily flower which proved a sweet warming brew. I also tried traditional bamboo rice from a neighbour. Diners must break apart the bamboo tube it arrives in to get to the glutinous rice, which has the subtle but tasty flavour of pure bamboo juice. This is part of the natural way that Taiwan’s indigenous people keep their food healthy. It worked. I left Taroko Village feeling as though my soul had been fed.

Barbarians repel Hornets’ challenge By Erin Tasker
erin.t@theguardian.co.nz
A different sort of Halswell Hornets side turned up at Robilliard Park than the one the Ashburton Barbarians were expecting on Saturday. But, the Barbarians overcame the unexpectedly tough challenge in their latest Canterbury Rugby League division one game, and still gave their home fans something to cheer about, finishing with a 24-20 win to their names. The Halswell Hornets are a side
making a comeback to division one this year, after an absence of a few years, and it had been a tough return for the first few weeks. The first couple of times the Barbarians played them, the end result was some pretty big scorelines in favour of the Ashburton side. But, due to picking up some new players as well as the learnings they’d taken from those early games, the Halswell side that turned up on Saturday provided a much bigger challenge than what
the Barbarians were probably expecting. And with that in mind, it made the win even better for coach Steve Gamble. He wasn’t at the game, and although probably surprised by the closeness of the scoreline at first, said having to grind out a hardfought win was actually a big step forward for the team mentally, with finals looming. The Barbarians have the bye this week, and then just two more games left of the result season, and they’re tough ones against
two of the top teams in the competition – the Burnham Chevaliers and Marist Saints. Although they’d had a few losses lately, the Barbarians were still tracking nicely to make the finals, Gamble said. He said it didn’t matter whether they finished first, second, third or fourth heading into finals, because the Barbarians had a faithful and dedicated fan base that followed them and had the ability to turn an away game, into one which felt like a home game. “We are pretty easy on the
home advantage because we’ve got a pretty good following, so if we have to go to Christchurch, we have to go to Christchurch, it is what it is,” Gamble said. This weekend’s bye came at a good time for the Barbarians, who took to the park with a depleted looking line-up on Saturday due to a combination of factors, but by the time their next game rolls around they should be back to full strength, Gamble said. Both of those final two games would be home games for the Barbarians, at Robilliard Park.

Hearts prove just too strong to beat By Erin Tasker
erin.t@theguardian.co.nz
Northern Hearts are again top of the pack in the Mid/South Canterbury senior men’s hockey competition following a 3-2 win over Wakanui in Ashburton on Saturday. The top-of-the-table clash got off to an action-packed start, with a flurry of activity in the first quarter resulting in Wakanui scoring two early goals – the first a reverse stick goal to Scott Marshall, and the second to Nick Sinclair. But that was as far as the scoring would go for the home side, with the win putting Northern Hearts at the top of the five-team competition on 32 points, with Wakanui back in second on 29 points. From leading 2-0, Wakanui succumbed to some late pressure from Hearts in the first quarter and a goal from a penalty corner made it 2-1 at the first break, and by half-time another Hearts goal had brought the game back even at 2-all. Wakanui had the better of the early exchanges in the third quarter until a Hearts penalty corner drag flick put them ahead half way through. Down 3-2, Wakanui applied good pressure in patches in the last quarter but the Hearts defence was up to the challenge, helping them to take the game 3-2 – the same result as the last time the two sides met. Meanwhile in the senior wom-

Hampstead coach Nicky Foden said Craighead had improved as the season had gone on, and they were strong particularly on defence, with their goalie having a stellar game.
“My girls were firing at them and literally, she was just really on form. “So hats off to their back defence, they were outstanding,” Foden said.
Sionelle Williams scored two of Hampstead’s goals, while Sarah Hayman landed the other. Both Hampstead and Wakanui now have the weekend off due to the bye in the next round.

Kearney bemused by NRL refs’ calls Roberton By Michael Burgess Warriors’ coach Stephen Kearney says he has “given up” trying to make sense of some of the NRL officiating at the moment, after a series of curious decisions almost overshadowed their 24-20 win over the Knights on Saturday night. The Warriors deserved their victory against a seriously understrength Newcastle side, though they did it the hard way. The visitors came back from a 12-2 halftime deficit to claim the lead, but then fell behind again late and needed a 75th minute Sam Lisone try to take the win. But the match will be remembered for number of calls that the officials, both on the field and in the bunker, will wish they had a chance to make again. The most glaring denied Ken Maumalo his third try in the 65th minute, which would have given the Warriors an eight point buffer. It was close, but the end on replay clearly showed the winger had regained control of the ball as he dived for the corner, but the bunker officials found their own version. “There is no point blaming and
pointing the finger…was it a try… was it not a try?,” said Kearney. “We all saw it, I’m just happy that it didn’t come down to that to decide the game.” “Like everyone, I have given up trying to give my view on it. “At the end of the day they are pushing the button. “Over the course of the last couple of weeks there have been a few howlers. “What is saying what I think about it going to change?” The Knights’ first try also came courtesy of a generous interpretation by the whistlers, as a clear Mason Lino knock on was instead judged a strip, and the Knights scored off the next play. And Newcastle’s third try, which gave them a 20-18 lead with 11 minutes to play, was scored with a concussed Peta Hiku prone on the ground in back play. The Warriors’ centre, who had an outstanding game, had been knocked out two plays earlier, but his plight was seemingly overlooked by the match officials. “You ring up and try to find an answer and you end up going round the block. “You don’t get anywhere so that is the most frustrating part about it all,” said Kearney, of his
Stephen Kearney dealings with the NRL over some of the controversial calls this season. Kearney’s overriding emotion post match was relief, as the match was in the balance until the final play, with Newcastle receiving a penalty after the hooter, following a frenetic final few minutes. “We have had a few games like that this year, could have gone either way and it was nice to come out of the end of it to be honest. “
The Knights were missing six first choice players, including stars like Mitchell Pearce and David Klemmer (State of Origin) and Kalyn Ponga (injury) but their scratch team showed plenty of spirit. “We knew it was going to be a dog fight,” said Kearney. “We were geared up for a really committed performance from the Knights and that is exactly what happened.” The Warriors also suffered their share of adversity. Karl Lawton was injured in the opening quarter, Bunty Afoa didn’t return after halftime, Jazz Tevaga played on with an ankle problem and Hiku was forced off in the last 10 minutes. The visitors endured a messy first half, unable to make the most of a ton of opportunities in Knights territory, while the home side ran in two opportunist tries. “We had the upper hand but didn’t have a great deal of luck,” said Kearney. “Our shape in good ball wasn’t what we were after and the Knights had us covered pretty easily really. “My message to the boys at halftime was just to stick at it and things will turn for us.”
breaks NZ record NZME Kiwi long distance runner Zane Robertson set a new New Zealand record during his marathon debut on the Gold Coast. Robertson finished third in a time of two-hours-eight-minutes-and-19 seconds, which is seven seconds faster than the mark previously set by his twin brother Jake. Zane Robertson’s time is inside both this year’s world championships and next year’s Tokyo Olympics qualifying standards. He now holds the national records over the 10km, 15km, 20km, half marathon and marathon distances. A groin injury denied Robertson the chance to make his marathon debut at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games last year. His time was more than eight minutes faster than the gold medallist.

Crusaders make it a hat-trick AP The Crusaders beat Argentina’s Jaguares 19-3 in the Super Rugby final on Saturday to win the southern hemisphere tournament for the third year in a row and the 10th time overall. Scott Robertson, who won three titles with the Crusaders as a player, has now won the championship in each of his three years as head coach. He celebrated in the now traditional fashion by break-dancing on the field at the Orangetheory Stadium as his players stood around decked with winners’ medals. The 18,000-seat stadium, a temporary facility developed in the aftermath of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, was filled to capacity on a bitterly-cold evening, including by many exuberant fans of the Jaguares whose coach Gonzalo Quesada guided them to their first final in his first year in charge. Those fans saw Crusaders flyhalf Richie Mo’unga punctuate the game with four penalties and
the conversion of the only try, scored by hooker Codie Taylor. “Defence won it again for us,” Robertson said. “It feels like the last three weeks have been finals. “We had to get back to basics, we had to get old school and just plug it into the corners. “(Flanker) Matt Todd made 100 tackles and we just found a way.” The Crusaders had 12 All Blacks in their starting 15 and the Jaguares are almost all members of the Argentina national team, bringing a test-match intensity to the final just over two months from the start of the Rugby World Cup in Japan. For the first 10 minutes, the Crusaders camped in Jaguares territory but couldn’t break a willing defence. For the next five minutes the Jaguares attacked and the first points of the game came in the 15th minute when Joacquin Diaz Bonilla goaled from a scrum penalty. By halftime it was the Crusaders who had to make almost twice as
many tackles as their opponents. The Jaguares rushed up in defence and tackled around the legs, putting players on the ground and allowing them to quickly contest at the breakdown. That forced the Crusaders to try and pass out of contact and in frosty conditions they made handling errors, 6-1 in the first quarter. The first and only try of the match, in the 25th minute, came from a chance turnover and superb work from the Crusaders tight forwards. Flanker Matt Todd forced a turnover after a high kick. The ball moved quickly to lock Sam Whitelock who dashed down the left touchline, passing inside to Taylor. Jaguares winger Matias Moroni missed a scoring chance near the end of the first half, losing the ball in two tackles near the goal line. The Crusaders broke out late, won a penalty and went to halftime leading 10-3. Moroni had a chance again at the start of the second half when he reclaimed his own kick on the Left – Codie Taylor dots down for what turned out to be the only try in the game as the Crusaders held out the Jaguares on Saturday night.

right flank but his pass to Matias Orlando was lost. The Crusaders were forced again to make many tackles and their defence proved equal to the task. Todd was held up over the line in the 51st minute and, when the Crusaders bulldozed the ensuing scrum, Mo’unga kicked a penalty for a 13-3 lead. As the scales tipped a little in the Crusaders’ favor Mo’unga goaled for a 16-3 lead after 59 minutes. Moroni, again, had a chance from a cross kick in the 68th minute but the bounce beat him across the dead ball line. That was the last gasp from the Jaguares, who played superbly. Mo’unga landed a long-range penalty in the 75th minute to put the result beyond doubt. The Jaguares still rose to the occasion, despite the disadvantages of long-distance travel and the necessity of facing a team on a 30game winning streak at home. “We knew it was a final in which we had to be clinical and to take advantage of any little opportunity,” Quesada told Sky Sports.
“I think that’s where the Crusaders were better than us. “They really only had one chance to score a try and they got it. Maybe with the one or two chances we had we couldn’t take them.” Quesada said the kicking option the Jaguares employed was due to the Crusaders’ defence but also the slippery condition of the ball. “Any turnover today was going to be complicated for the other team and I think that was why our kicking game was not as precise as it should have been,” he said. “But that was also due to the Crusaders defence. “They gave us no time and they put us under a big amount of pressure and our accuracy was not there.” Quesada said it had been a goal of the season to keep on improving and the team’s strong performance this season was good for rugby internationally. “The Crusaders were better than us in a lot of aspects today but I don’t think the score was as big as it finished,” he said.

Southern secure spot in finals By Erin Tasker
erin.t@theguardian.co.nz
Southern sealed themselves a spot in the Watters Cup semi-final and ended the season of the defending champion Celtic side at the same time on Saturday. The Southern men powered to a 29-14 win over Celtic at the Mayfield Domain on Saturday, which ensured they’d get a shot at making the final of the Mid Canterbury Rugby showpiece competition, putting themselves through to a semi-final showdown against Rakaia this weekend. With a finalist and a semi-finalist already found, the final round robin match was effectively a quarter-final, and although Celtic asked a few questions of Southern in the second half the home side got there relatively comfortably. It was the only senior rugby match played in Saturday’s final Watters Cup round, with Hampstead defaulting to Methven and in doing so sending Methven to the top of the table and the confirmed place in the final which came with it. Rakaia had the bye but were in second spot on the table and already assured of a spot in the semi-final, all they needed was an opponent, and now they had one in the form of Southern. And their win on Saturday was a dominant one. Celtic almost had the dream start, with Nick McKain getting his fingers to an intercept which would have put him in for the opening try with barely a minute gone, but he was unable to hold on to it. And that was just about as close as Celtic came in the first half of the game. Southern’s first scoring opportunity also went begging, due to a forward pass, but it didn’t take long after that for them to get another opportunity, which Jon Dampney finished off in the cor-

It was another of Southern’s usual suspects, halfback Will Mackenzie, who added his side’s second soon after in almost the same spot, but this time Dampney’s conversion missed. With the score 12-0 in the home side’s favour mid-way through the half, Celtic did finally find themselves with some ball and territory, but it didn’t last long and they were soon on their heels again with Josh McAtamney add-
ing Southern’s third to make it 170, and that was how it stayed at the break. Southern’s only win in the Watters Cup heading into Saturday had come against Hampstead the week before. Despite having made the combined competition final and drawing it, they’d struggled in the local competition, with poor second half showings resulting in losses to Methven and Rakaia. And when Celtic scored a try to open the scoring in the second
half, a few Southern supporters were probably having nervous flashbacks on the sideline. But, this time with their season on the line, Southern managed to finish what they started. There was a huge cheer as fan favourite Adam Williamson, the prop commonly known as Fridge, crossed in the corner to put his side out to 22-7, and although Celtic struck straight back with one of their own to Angus Lindsay, Southern weren’t done. They wrapped up the game with
Razor’s sharp plans get the job done By Patrick McKendry Before the Crusaders got on with the serious business of celebrating Super Rugby title number three in three years, they lifted the lid, or perhaps popped the cork, on how they dealt with the potential emotional drain of so many players leaving after this season. Or, more to the point, how history-making head coach Scott Robertson did it. One of the many strategies thought up by the man known as Razor, the first coach to win three titles in a row, was to refer to the impending departures of Kieran Read, Ryan Crotty, Owen Franks, Matt Todd, Jordan Taufua and Sam Whitelock (for one season), throughout the year rather than leaving it until the playoffs to address and potentially distract. It was possibly only a small
piece of the puzzle, but it was an important one, and it’s more evidence of the 44-year-old’s attention to detail and ability to inspire. Robertson also won three consecutive titles as a player. His is a record that will not be broken for a long time, and there will already be talk of another title in Christchurch. Possibly the only barriers to him achieving a lot more success at this level are the departures of such world-class players and the fact he is firmly in the frame as Steve Hansen’s successor at the All Blacks. Crotty was unable to play the Jaguares in the final, won 19-3 by the Crusaders, due to a broken thumb, but he presented the jerseys to his teammates beforehand and they responded with utter commitment; especially
Todd, who put in an incredible performance in the No7 jersey, but also Read and Whitelock. “It’s all here,” skipper Whitelock said of the talent available to Robertson, “but he’s challenged people to get better and to grow. “Everyone’s done that whether you’ve been here for a couple of months or 150-plus games. He has the ability to grow players but also grow the coaching and management staff too. “We’ve got an amazing set-up.” Whitelock revealed that such was Robertson’s lateral thinking as he attempted to mentally stimulate his players that he often had no idea what to expect when he turned up to training. Some ideas were left alone, others wholeheartedly embraced. Asked how this title compared with the others, Robertson said: “The first one I was excited, ec-
static, ‘how good is this?’, the second one was relief and that one was ‘thank God for that’. “Honestly, there are so many people leaving. There was a lot of emotion. Thank God we can send them off on the right note. “I get a bit emotional talking about it. I’ve got a lot of All Blacks, a lot of guys who are world class and my role is to get the best out of them and the best out of the group.” The Jaguares came to knock a few bodies around in their first ever grand final, and they certainly did that. How there were no serious injuries suffered by either team almost beggars belief, and All Blacks coach Hansen will be thrilled there were no obvious issues suffered by his 11 All Blacks in the Crusaders a couple of weeks out from the Rugby Championship.

a try to American winger Bryan Hazel in the corner to finish with a 29-14 win to their names, and a spot in the semis secured. Southern coach Andrew Carr said it wasn’t a polished performance, but his side got the desired result. “While it might’ve looked comfortable on the scoreboard, it definitely wasn’t,” Carr said. He said both side had opportunities, but Southern possibly just created a few more and came through on defence.
France stun Black Ferns NZME The Black Ferns have suffered a shock loss to France in their Super Series clash in San Diego yesterday. For just the second time, France managed to claim victory over the Ferns, triumphing 25-16 despite having three players sent to the sinbin. In one of their sloppiest showings, the Black Ferns couldn’t produce a similar performance to the ones that had seen them claim wins over Canada (35-20) and the USA (33-0), being well beaten by the World No 3 side. The Black Ferns were poor, only narrowly avoiding their biggest ever defeat with a late consolation try, with captain Kendra Cocksedge left to rue a disappointing 50th test.

Arch-rivals to clash in semi
NZ rank outsiders for Cup
PA As injured batsman Usman Khawaja walked gingerly to the crease in a brave bid to complete Australia’s unlikely run chase against South Africa, it became clear the defending champions were going to great lengths to avoid a Cricket World Cup semi-final against archrival England. It didn’t happen. In a thrilling match under lights in Manchester that ended the five-week group stage, Australia fell to a last-over, 10-run loss to South Africa and slipped off the top of the World Cup standings. Instead of playing trans-Tasman neighbor New Zealand in the first semi-final tomorrow, the Australians will take on host England – who went into the tournament as the top-ranked team – on Thursday in the latest chapter in one of sport’s biggest rivalries. “Yeah, it’s going to be a blockbuster,” Australia captain Aaron Finch said of the match at Edgbaston. “It doesn’t get much bigger than that.” India won the 10-team group with 15 points, one more than Australia. England finished third on 12 points and New Zealand had 11. India will take on New Zealand in the first semi-final, in Manchester. Australia heads into the playoffs on the back of just a second loss in nine group games, and with some injury worries. Faf du Plessis’ 93-ball 100 underpinned South Africa’s 325-6, and two pieces of magic from wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock – a cheeky run-out and a leaping, one-handed catch – left the Australians struggling on 119-4, with Khawaja also retired hurt with a left hamstring injury. David Warner (122) and Alex Carey (85 off 69 balls) put on 108 for the fifth wicket, but neither could see Australia home as shadows lengthened on the field. Khawaja hauled himself to the middle to bat after the fall of the seventh wicket, with his team

needing 51 runs off the final 28 balls, and struck two fours in nine balls before departing for 18. Australia required 18 to win off the last over – or 17 for the tie that would also have seen the team finish in first place on net run-rate – but Nathan Lyon was caught in the deep off the nextto-last ball. Finch was adamant Khawaja didn’t aggravate his injury by coming back out to the middle, but said the No. 3 batsman was unlikely to play the semi-final. “He wanted to go out, especially when we got as close as what we did,” Finch said. Allrounder Marcus Stoinis aggravated his side injury and also faces a scan. The Australians might have fallen short but at least they have Warner in sublime form for the semi-finals. The left-handed opener has scored 638 runs in nine innings – just short of the tournament-high 647 racked up by India’s Rohit Sharma – and now has
three centuries to his name this tournament. “That was as good an innings he could have played,” Finch said. “He is a big game player, he loves the big stage.” Australia ideally needed him to last until the end of the chase but he succumbed in the 40th over to a superb diving catch by Chris Morris and departed to jeers, once again. Indeed, South Africa’s catching was excellent in general, not least from De Kock who soared into the air to take Glenn Maxwell (12) soon after flicking a ball onto the stumps – while looking the other way – from Kagiso Rabada’s throw to run out Stoinis (22). Earlier, the South Africans got off to a fast start by reaching 73-0 by the end of the opening powerplay. Lyon’s offspin removed openers Aiden Markram (34) and De Kock (52), only for Du Plessis and Rassie van der Dussen (95) to quickly restore Proteas supremacy with a third-wicket stand of 151 runs.
Du Plessis reached three figures in 93 balls – and was dismissed off his very next delivery for 100. The highlight of his innings was a straight six off paceman Pat Cummins after advancing down the track. Van der Dussen has yet to convert any of his seven ODI fifties, however. He couldn’t get enough of the strike in the final two overs and tried to smash the last ball of the innings for six to reach his ton. He was caught on the boundary by Maxwell. Australia paceman Mitchell Starc (2-59) bowled erratically but took two late wickets to move to 26 for the tournament, tying the record for a single World Cup with compatriot Glenn McGrath (from 2007 in the Caribbean). South Africa scored its highest total of a tournament in which the team finished with three wins in nine games. Du Plessis predicted an India-England final. Despite their injuries, the Australians might have something to say about that.
■■CYCLING
Cavendish a controversial no-show AP Mark Cavendish’s omission from the Tour de France is creating a rift within his Dimension Data team. Team principal Doug Ryder insisted at the start of the Tour’s opening stage he made the right decision by leaving the 34-yearold sprinter at home, a move that left head of performance Rolf Aldag puzzled. Cavendish, who has 30 stage wins on the Tour, has not produced a single win this season while struggling to recover from the Epstein-Barr virus, but hoped
he could get back in contention at cycling’s marquee race. “Mark is a legend of the race. It is sad for the race that he’s not here,” Ryder said in Brussels. “We took that into account and spoke to the organisers. “We selected a team based on the route and how hard it is this year. There was a whole team involved, it was a team decision.” But Aldag spoke a different tune. “It’s no secret I wanted him here,” Aldag said. “I think it would suit our strategy but ultimately it’s a team owner decision. It’s within my remit
Mark Cavendish to select the team which I did, and Mark was included, and the team owner has the right to overrule me, which he did.”
Cavendish’s wife, Peta Cavendish, joined the debate, saying on Twitter there was a “fair amount of fiction” in Ryder’s statement. Cavendish hasn’t missed a Tour since his first in 2007. But he also hasn’t won a stage since he took four in 2016 to overhaul Bernard Hinault on the list of stage winners. Hinault won 28. The record is held by Eddy Merckx, with 34. Without Cavendish, the headliners for Dimension Data at the Tour will be Roman Kreuziger, who has four top-10 finishes at the Tour, and Edvald Boasson Hagen, who has three stage wins.
The odds are in – and they do not favour the Black Caps. The Black Caps have been installed as distant outsiders going into the semi-final stages of the Cricket World Cup, being placed at $9 to be raising the Cup aloft in London eight days from now. According to the bookmakers, it will most likely be a three-horse race for the title, with India – New Zealand’s opponents in their semifinal on Tuesday – being set as $2.90 favourites to win the World Cup, with England at $3 and Australia at $3.40. India’s favouritism has something to do with earning what is deemed to be the easier semi-final draw, playing the Black Caps in Manchester. While Australia and England will go head-to-head in Birmingham in a titanic battle, India get to take on a side which has lost their last three games, and has struggled to score runs throughout the tournament. Conversely, India have the tournament’s best batsman in Rohit Sharma, who has scored a World Cup-record five centuries so far, as well as the world’s number one ranked ODI batsman and bowler in Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah respectively. With that in mind, India have been installed as $1.36 favourites in their semi-final, with New Zealand at $3.26 – their longest odds of the tournament. It will be the first meeting between the two sides at a World Cup since 2003, after their group stage clash in Nottingham was washed out last month. They did meet recently in an ODI series in New Zealand this summer though, without Bumrah and with Kohli only playing three games, but India still claimed a convincing 4-1 series win. However, the Black Caps can clutch to that one win, in Hamilton where Trent Boult ripped through the Indian top order with 5-21, and India were routed for an ODI record low of 92. Those conditions are unlikely to be replicated in Manchester, but the Black Caps also claimed a convincing warm-up win over India at The Oval. Sure, that means remarkably little when looking at the pressure situation of a World Cup semi-final, but at least it will give New Zealand some proof to hold on to – they’ve done it before, and they can do it again. Black Caps coach Gary Stead knows his side need to improve on their recent performances, however. “We’re under no illusions that we need to be better than what we have been. It’s going to be a tough game of cricket, but if we can fire some shots and play somewhere near the best of our ability, then I think we’re a real chance.”

O’Reilly grabs top title By Jonny Turner Sarah O’Reilly surprised herself by scoring the biggest success of her career when winning the New Zealand Junior Drivers Championship at Rangiora yesterday. The 19-year-old saved her best until last to score the maximum points she needed to take out the title by winning its last heat with Flamboyant. O’Reilly admitted she was far from thinking about winning the competition going in to the final heat. Her focus was instead on giving Flamboyant every possible chance to win. “It was a huge thrill and very unexpected,” O’Reilly said. O’Reilly is enjoying a breakout season in the sulky with 20 wins. Her success helped her qualify to represent the South Island in the championship. Yesterday she capped her rise by being crowned the New Zealand Junior Drivers Championship winner. Its a feat that sits alongside her previous biggest achievement in harness racing – winning the race named in honour of her late grandfather Patrick O’Reilly. “Apart from winning my granddad’s memorial with Ideal Invasion at Methven, this is the biggest thing that I have done,” O’Reilly said.
Sarah O’Reilly is revelling in her best season to date. “It has been my best season, by far.” O’Reilly will get the chance to take her career to even bigger heights when she competes in
the Australasian Young Drivers Championship later this year. Her championship victory secured her the chance to compete alongside last year’s winner,
Sheree Tomlinson, and a host of top junior drivers in the series. O’Reilly’s New Zealand Junior Drivers Championship quest did not get off to a winning start when she finished second last behind Dusky Eyre in heat 1. She then worked her way up the leaderboard with a second behind Invisible Girl in heat two and a sixth with rank outsider Eja Patron in heat three. Flamboyant gave O’Reilly what she considered her best chance of winning a heat and the Sue Blake not only delivered that, he would go on to help her clinch the title. “I knew Flamboyant would be a good chance because he is honest and steps so good,” O’Reilly said. Victory with Ideal Rule sent Kimberly Butt to the top of the leaderboard after the third heat of the competition. Butt had to settle for second placing after being left just one point short of O’Reilly after heat four. Her charge, JR Fulham, tired from the 400m and finished last with Butt only collecting minimum points. John Morrison finished third following his fifth placing with Trompeur and sixth placing with Bakari. Their top three finishes helped the South Island team score a convincing victory over the North Island in the teams’ competition.

seven length win on debut in the opening event at Te Rapa while progressive four-year-old Obsessive rounded out the day in fine style on a testing track at Awapuni with a win in the last race of the day. Chipperfield, who made the long drive from his Te Awamutu base to Awapuni with Obsessive,
was delighted with how things played out on the day. “It was a great day and I thought both horses were very impressive,” he said. “London Bound is a very exciting filly with a big future ahead of her while Obsessive proved how tough he is with a win on what was as deep a track as you will
probably get this winter. “When I was driving down (to Awapuni) in the rain on Friday I was thinking holy hell this is going to be tough for him but I knew he was very fit so I was hoping he would get through it.” Obsessive was ridden confidently by Hazel Schofer to forge clear in the closing stages.
Veteran wins again Former top hurdler Just Got Home made a welcome and well received return to the winner’s circle at Te Aroha yesterday when he prevailed in a thrilling finish to the Frank & Annie Matijasevich Memorial Open Steeplechase (3500m). The rising twelve-year-old had won for the first time over the bigger fences at the same venue back in August last year after switching to steeplechasing following a richly successful hurdling career that saw him win on five occasions in that role, including a victory in the 2014 Wellington Hurdle (3400m). Trainer Rudy Liefting was keen on the chances of his charge before the race and that opinion was validated by Just Got Home who jumped superbly in or near the lead throughout. Tackled and headed by Magic Wonder with 1000m to run, Just Got Home forged his way back to the front on the point of the home turn before holding out the late challenge of Lacustre to register his 12th career victory and take his total earnings over the $300,000 mark. “I’m going to retire him after this year as he’s eleven now and he’s been such a good horse for us,” Liefting said. “He hasn’t got a Northern (Great Northern Steeplechase) in him or anything like that, but races like this are just nice for him. “He’s got plenty of speed and likes to bowl along a bit at a good clip and enjoys it here (Te Aroha). “There’s a $40,000 chase here at the end of the season so I think we will shoot for that.” Earlier in the day the Mark Brooks-trained El Disparo gave his rivals a jumping lesson as he dominated proceedings from the front to take out the feature hurdle event, the Victor & Frank Matijasevich Open Hurdle (3100m). The El Hermano seven-yearold looked a different horse to the one that had struggled home near the rear in the Hawke’s Bay Hurdles last month as he attacked his jumps throughout for rider Shaun Phelan before striding home a comprehensive four-length winner.

Cryptic crossword
Monday, July 8, 2019
Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker
Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): No matter how strong a person is, it’s foolish to waste muscle power holding up walls that already stand, or pushing things down that are already falling. Let gravity do its work. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): When the solutions don’t work, try different ones. The answer is out there somewhere. Just keep going, being resilient and experimental, and you’ll eventually unlock the mystery. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): One of the perks of belonging to a group is that you get to share accountability for both the successes and the failures. The strength of numbers makes the wins sweeter and the losses more bearable. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Say yes to less. Make the criteria more extreme. Say yes only when you’re totally into it and immersed in all the accompanying excitement that comes with that sort of full commitment. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’ll manage to do about three times the work that the others around you are doing. This is what experience brings you: efficiency routes developed over time, and impressive powers of focus. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The people who don’t do what they say they will lose credibility and are worse off than if they had said and done nothing. The most important part of establishing reputation is follow-up. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): True partnerships are mutually supportive. But when it’s only one person doing the supporting, it’s a service. Both cases can work, as long as you realise which one you’re in and don’t confuse the two. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The quickest way to take your mind off your own troubles is to take care of someone else. You’ll derive satisfaction and pride from providing just what someone needs. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Some goals take long time to realise, and it would be wrong, and pointless, to rush them. Lose the stress, guilt and frustration over this. It’s all happening in its own time. A little work every day adds up. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Make your plans, and know that life will not feel obligated to follow them. That’s OK. Experiences are richer and more interesting for the winding journey they take to destinations far from their origins. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): If a thing is overly complicated, it probably won’t get done today. Results depend on a simple process. And as the process develops, it gets even simpler. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Often doing what works will also please people, especially people who like things to function properly. But that’s not everyone. There are those who benefit from dysfunction. Watch out for them today.

FEELING THE COLD? Imagine having to sit in the dark on a cold night, wrapped in a blanket for warmth because you couldn’t afford heating or power? Sadly, this is a reality for many Kiwi families living in poverty at the moment, as they struggle through a cold winter without even the basics to survive. As it gets colder, people use more electricity to keep warm—they turn on heaters and electric blankets, and take hot showers. For the thousands of Kiwi families existing in poverty and who are already struggling to make ends meet, winter is a time of stress and sacrifice—as power bills rise
and their household budget collapses under the pressure. They are often forced to choose between providing food, warmth and shelter for their family, knowing the profound impact that going without even one of these things will have on their health and well-being. Please support this ‘Lights On’ Winter Appeal and help keep families safe, warm and sheltered this winter.

Off to the finals ...
Southern halfback Will Mackenzie was the first to congratulate Adam Williamson following his classic prop’s try in the corner during the second half of his side’s win over Celtic on Saturday. The 29-14 win put Southern through to a semi-final showdown with Rakaia, and ended the season for the defending champion Celtic side. PHOTO ERIN TASKER 060719-ET-0078
World champion Alex Smith, of Rakaia, has topped the world on the shearing stage, taking out the All Nations Senior final at the annual world championship, this year being held in Le Dorat, a town in central France. More than 320 competitors from 34 countries as far apart as Norway, Japan and the Cook Islands, are battling it out to win titles in wool-handling, machine shearing and blade shearing, a traditional method using scissors. That makes it a very big deal for New Zealand, as well as Smith, son of former world championships representative Grant Smith. Smith’s mother Lynn said the family was over the moon about Alex’s
achievement in France. Alexandra woolhandler and shearer Pagan Karauria has crowned a busy penultimate day at her world championships with a win in the All Nations Open wool-handling final. Karauria, 30, created some sort of history by reaching the final after reaching the women’s shearing final on Thursday. Tina Elers, of Mataura and representing Cook Islands in the world championships, was fourth. Golden Shears and NZ shearing champion Rowland Smith, of Hastings, was runner-up to Welshman Richard Jones in the All Nations Open Shearing final, and team-mate Cam Ferguson, of Waipawa, was sixth.

The Allflex New Zealand Shearing and wool-handling team of machine shearers Smith and Ferguson, woolhandlers Karauria and Sheree Alabaster, of Taihape, and bladeshearers Oldfield and Tony Dobbs, of Fairlie, were well placed to reach the world championships individual and teams finals on the last day of the championships in Le Dorat overnight.
