Second bridge takes big step forward

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Steps towards a second bridge in Ashburton took a positive step forward yesterday.

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN

Ashburton’s second bridge project has been given a huge injection of energy with the Government making a $94,000 investment in its future.

This week it announced through its Provincial Growth Fund that $94,000 would be made available to support a detailed business case for the project.

And that, Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel said, could become a major factor in pushing forward the start of construction and in securing a significant government subsidy for the project.

“The second bridge is an important issue for our district and one that has been a high priority for the council for a number of years,” she said.

The stronger the business case the council built, the higher the project’s chance of having an earlier construction date, Favel said.

There was both anecdotal and on-the-ground evidence that traffic travelling through Ashburton and across the river bridge had increased significantly since the project was first considered, she said.

“This is most definitely not a local issue, contrary to what NZTA has been telling us for a long time.”

It was now often a very slow trip across the bridge and occasionally there were bottlenecks that ground traffic to a standstill, and that impacted on both local and through traffic, Favel said.

The council had budgeted for the project to cost an estimated $30 million ($35 million inflation adjusted) and was aiming to have this subsidised up to 80 per cent by NZTA. The second bridge is anticipated to reduce state highway peak time traffic by 40 per cent.

As a primary producing area that relied heavily on strong transport links, having a second bridge would help not only alleviate congestion, having an alternate route would make traffic movement on the highway less vulnerable to disruption, she said.

Parliamentary under-secretary for regional economic development, Fletcher Tabuteau, announced the grant and said the bridge project was a significant one, not only for the Ashburton District, but also for the wider Canterbury region.

“The construction of a sec-

ond bridge has long been seen to be a critical enabler for future economic growth. The current bridge is a pinch-point for traffic travelling through Ashburton on State Highway 1,” he said.

While there might be strong demand for the second bridge within the district, Tabuteau said a detailed business case would determine whether the bridge’s construction was a viable and sensible investment to address traffic congestion, accessibility for the local community, a safer route for pedestrians and cyclists and a more resilient network.

Funding for the business case has been applauded by both Rangitata MPs, Labour’s list MP Jo Luxton and electorate MP, National’s Andrew Falloon “Funding for this detailed business case is one step in the right direction as we look to support infrastructure as a pillar of doing business, improving connectivity and growing our local economy,” Luxton said.

Falloon said that any progress on a second bridge was pleasing.

In its long-term plan the council has planned for design work on the second bridge to start in the 2020/21 year with physical work to begin in 2026.

M. bovis cases updated; most are beef farms Twelve Ashburton farms have been among the 171 farms issued notices of direction restricting cattle movements because of mycoplasma bovis since April 18.

MPI spoke with more than 1000 farmers in the period leading up to Moving Day on June 1 to discuss possible risk movements.

The M. bovis eradication programme saw another 304 farms nationally placed under surveillance in that time. Of the 171 NODS, 116 are beef properties, 23 are dairy and 32 are grazing or lifestyle.

Beef properties present a lower

risk of further spreading the disease so it is positive that there are fewer dairy farms requiring restrictions, MPI said in its weekly update yesterday.

Only 10-15 per cent of NODs are found to have the disease.

There have been 25 confirmed infected farms in the Ashburton District, as at June 5, with six still active.

Seventeen properties are under movement restriction.

The number of properties under surveillance in Ashburton has increased from 62 to 73 in the past week.

Bennett’s connection to Ashburton

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

It may be the location of the most horrific experience in her professional career, but Ashburton means so much more to deputy National Party leader Paula Bennett.

Bennett was in Ashburton for around 24 hours this week, attending a number of events and visiting many businesses and workplaces in her whirlwind visit.

“I have been here a lot, right from the beginning of my political career actually. National have held this seat for a long time and we have always felt that Ashburton is a nice indicator of how the country is going,” she said.

“It has been interesting over my 14 years of visits in and out to actually see the changes in the town in terms of businesses thriving and moving ahead, the use of technology and a changing demographic which is exciting and shows a more diverse population.”

Bennett was minister for social development when the Winz shootings occurred in September 2014 and travelled here the day of the shootings to perform her role as minister.

“The work and income shootings will go down as the most horrific time I have had in my professional career,” she said.

“My role was to support and help the victims and I think they are some of the most extraordinary women I have met and it was great to see them again yesterday and just touch base again, it was really neat.

“I have kept regular contact, you make a connection I think when you are working through a tragedy. They are the ones who are remarkable and went through it.”

Despite being an incredibly traumatic time, Bennett said they were still able to find something to laugh about following the incident.

Bennett fronted a media conference outside the police station, allowing many of the people who were inside the offices to leave to a more suitable location without attention from the waiting media.

“In the midst of tragedy you

PHOTO JAIME PITT-MACKAY 060619-JPM-0001 have got to have your own little laugh and they called me decoy for days later,” she said.

An Auckland girl who had to struggle to make ends meet prior to a move into politics, Bennett said if she was presented with the opportunity to move to Ashburton and take up one of the 500 jobs that are reportedly available, she would take that chance.

“I would even consider moving here now, though I do quite like my current job and wouldn’t want to take Andrew (Falloon)’s,” she laughed.

“I think that we do need to have

New Zealanders being a bit more mobile. We had some fun with the idea we had of supporting beneficiaries that might want to move to towns where there were jobs, affordable housing and more opportunities for them. To me that was giving them an opportunity they didn’t have.

“For some of them they wanted to move out of Auckland to somewhere like Ashburton and they didn’t have the thousand dollars that it would cost for a moving truck and to get here, and so to actually support them and see them getting off welfare

made sense to me, but Labour cancelled that.”

Bennett shared Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon’s concerns around local roading issues and how they affect local businesses.

“I am really concerned about some of the roading situations.

He (Falloon) has taken me around some pretty impressive businesses and export is the basis of them and they have to be able to move their product out of here safely and quickly.

“Without the Government providing the right kind of roading infrastructure I think they are do-

ing a complete disservice to the people of Ashburton,” she said.

The MP for Upper Harbour also has a high opinion on first-term MP Falloon.

“He is absolutely bright, hard working and understands his community and the job that is at hand,” she said.

“Honestly, I think he has a big future in Wellington.

“One day I will leave and I will look down and see Andrew plugging away, in a more senior role, or as a minister in a future government. If he sets those goals he has the ability to do it.”

Baller off to US for second

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

After a debut season where he was not even expected to get any game time, basketballer Josh Lowe is packing his bags for his second season of college basketball in the United States.

The 6’8” big man is entering his sophmore year at Lee University in Tennessee, and can not wait to get back into action.

“I did a lot better than I expected.

I wasn’t actually going to play last year, I was just going to red shirt and it wasn’t going to count as one of my playing years, but they ended up needing me to play and I played quite a bit,” he said.

Given his height, he has found his home at centre, playing a similar game to what he was playing in New Zealand, just at a faster pace.

“It is not too different, but the games are a lot quicker and everyone is really athletic over there,” he said.

“There has been a learning period to begin with, getting used to the speed and getting used to playing with new people.

“Once I started playing more and settled in it was pretty good.”

Lowe played 23 games in his debut season, averaging 8.5 minutes, 2.6 points per game, at a shooting percentage of 59.6 per cent and 1.7 re-

bounds per game.

Lowe said the game against Montevallo was the highlight of his season.

He scored 12 points, scoring six of his seven shots, and grabbing seven rebounds in 19 minutes on the court.

Once back in America, he will not have much time for rest, heading straight back into pre-season buildup, ahead of a tour to the Dominican Republic.

“Part of the degree is doing a cross-cultural experience, but I am exempt from that. But as part of that they take the team on a trip to play basketball and we are going to the Dominican Republic,” he said.

“I am looking forward to seeing how things go and hopefully I can continue to try and improve.”

Lowe said his long-term goal of completing his degree and playing basketball has not changed.

When it comes to lifestyle in Tennessee, Lowe said it is not all cowboy hats and country music, and that he lives a fairly similar lifestyle to when he was in New Zealand.

“I go to school for four hours and then go to basketball practice, I then go home and either do homework or hang out with my team-mates,” he said.

While a one-hour road trip to Christchurch to play basketball was

common in New Zealand, Lowe said the travel can be a bit more gruelling in the States.

“If we have two road games in a row we will leave and play Wednesday night, travel Thursday to our next game and then play on the Saturday and travel back straight away and arrive home at about 2am,” he said.

“The closest team we play is about three hours’ travel away and some of the trips are six or seven hours away.”

Lowe has been back in New Zealand for around a month but has not let his game slip, making regular appearances for Team Donkey in the Mid Canterbury A grade competition.

“It is fun to come back and play, especially as there is no pressure to be playing for your position. You just come back to play for fun,” he said.

Not quite at the traditional height of an NBA centre who can stand anywhere between 6’10 and 7 foot, Lowe said a slight position shift to power forward might be where he plays in the future, unless he continues to grow, which he said he would prefer not to.

“I will probably shift to four (power forward) eventually and the coaches talked about me playing there last season and it might happen this season as we have a bit more depth,” he said.

Ashburton basketballer Josh Lowe is ready to jet back to America for his second season of college basketball.

“The Harris Reserve, which exists primarily to protect one of the last kanuka remnants on the plains, is vulnerable.

“There is a lot of manuka and kanuka in various places along the foothills and high country and it would be a tragedy if these were affected.”

Ralston said manuka, kanuka and rata occurred together on the Rhyolite Ridge of Mt Somers and were vulnerable if the disease spreads to Mid Canterbury.

“At the moment it is not here and we can only hope our colder climate is keeping it at bay. Climate change may make the situation worse – places not invaded may get it eventually as things warm.”

She said it was a bit of a warning bell about protecting rare native local biodiversity.

Flu vaccine supplies running low

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Supplies of flu vaccine are running low in the Ashburton District forcing doctors’ surgeries to restrict vaccinations to high risk patients only.

While Pharmac has distributed almost 1.3 million doses there had been higher demand from patients this year for vaccination, said Tinwald Medical Centre practice manager Christine Dodge.

“At the moment we’re honouring the patients we already have booked in and we’re endeavouring to vaccinate those at high risk. We really want to attend to them and we’ll be continuing to target those patients,” she said.

The surgery had experienced a higher number of patients than anticipated wanting to be vaccinated against the flu this year, possibly prompted by the high incidence of flu cases in Australia and the higher mortality rate that had come with that, Dodge said.

Of the three strains covered by the vaccine, two were prevalent in Canterbury and the outbreak appeared to be occurring earlier this year. A characteristic of this year’s flu was that it seemed to hit and linger for some time, she said.

Surgeries were now seeing patients coming in with flu symptoms and most would have signs at the door encouraging patients to wear face masks and to use the sanitiser provided to protect others in the waiting room.

“If we know patients are coming in with the flu we record this so that practitioners can also protect themselves. We’re being super cautious.”

While there is no time frame around the arrival of additional supplies, Dodge is confident these will be sourced.

Supplies are also dropping at Sealy Street Medical Centre where vaccination demand has also increased in recent weeks.

People who are considered high risk and who are likely to be a considered priority for vaccination are; pregnant women, those aged 65 and over, children aged 4 and under with serious respiratory illnesses, and people with severe asthma, heart disease, diabetes and other serious health conditions that make them more susceptible to influenza.

The vaccine used for eligible children between six and 35 months is still available.

The Ministry of Health is less confident about additional supplies being sourced, saying it is unlikely more influenza vaccine supplies can be obtained because demand was an international issue and there was no surplus stock to source from Australia.

The ministry is asking general practices and pharmacists to closely manage stock levels and to vaccinate only those who are eligible for publicly funded vaccines.

Schools are also feeling the effects of this winter’s flu, with Allenton having 81 children away on Friday last week.

Special enamelist visits Ashburton

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

A collection of one-off enamels, all the way from England, made a special stop in Ashburton on Thursday.

Elliot Hall is the owner of Elliot Hall Enamels, a company that produces one-off hand-painted enamels on copper in Worcester, England.

“There are a team of six painters who work for us,” he said.

The painters must serve a fiveyear apprenticeship to learn the craft.

“It is not just something you pick up a brush and do,” he said.

“It takes a lot skill, they are able to paint the inside of the containers and even use dentists’ mirrors to see as they are painting.”

Hall said the pieces were often so detailed that they could not truly be appreciated until they were seen in person.

“We often say the piece finds the collector,” he said.

The China Shop in Ashburton is the only location Hall stops in before continuing on to Australia.

“I bring the pieces with me and we do hold some stock over here,” he said.

Hall said there were collectors of the enamels who had collections varying in size from one to three pieces all the way through to over 100 pieces.

Minimum temperature record set Ashburton was among several centres to post record daily minimum air temperatures in autumn, according to figures just released by NIWA. On March 26, the minimum was recorded at 21.1°C, the highest minimum for autumn (March, April and May) since records began in 1928.

Overnight clouds and high humidity, associated with an atmospheric river, contributed to Ashburton’s record minimum temperature, along with many other eastern areas.

By April though, clear skies

over inland parts of the South Island contributed to widespread frosty conditions, with Ranfurly dropping to -6°C. It was New Zealand’s fourth warmest autumn in record and temperatures across the country were mostly above average.

A large part of the South Island had above normal rainfall and by the end of May, soils were near normal, with pockets of drought about Waimate and Waikati and inner Marlborough.

Extreme rainfall on the West Coast between March 25 and 27 resulted in flooding and the col-

lapse of the Waiho Bridge near Franz Josef.

The highest temperature was 32.4°C at Waipara on March 5 and the lowest -6°C at Ranfurly on April 7.

The highest one-day rainfall was 401mm at Milford Sound on March 25 and the highest wind gust was 196km/h at Cape Turnagain, on the North Island’s east coast, on May 15.

Of the six main centres in autumn, Auckland was the warmest, sunniest and driest and Christchurch was the coolest and least sunny.

Weekend focus 8

Ashburton Guardian

Saturday, June 8, 2019

for one Almost five years ago Ashburton earned itself a special place in the heart of National’s deputy leader Paula Bennett.

The then minister of social development spent many hours in Ashburton after the 2014 Winz shootings.

She was back in town this week visiting businesses, speaking at a women’s breakfast, catching up with staff at Work and Income and visiting family members of those who died in the tragedy. Reporter Sue Newman caught up with the high-energy MP.

W

hen you’re 17, pregnant, jobless, the baby’s father has bolted and you’ve been all but ostracised by your parents, there’s not much further to fall.

That’s the future National’s deputy leader Paula Bennett faced 33 years ago.

Her life had been going off the rails for a few years. Rebellion was her middle name. She had a dyed pink, punk haircut at 12, her boyfriend in her mid-teens was a member of Black Power and she left home at 16. Life was at rock bottom, but the teenage mum nurtured a burning desire to find something better, for herself and her baby.

“I was a dysfunctional child in a functional family. When I chopped my hair off at 12 I got the strap from dad, not because I’d cut my hair, but because dad thought I was obviously a lesbian. I had to ask mum what that was,” she said.

Paula grew up in Kinloch on the shores of Lake Taupo and had, by anyone’s reckoning, a pretty idyllic childhood. Her parents were practical, no-nonsense people and she describes her father as her “resilience builder”. It was quintessential Kiwi life and typical of that time, it was a life where dad was the boss and boys were seen as the ones who should be making their way in the world.

“He’d bang the table halfway through dinner and say to my brothers, ‘it’s a damned shame the brains are wasted on the girl’,” she said.

That was demeaning to her and insulting to her brothers, but that didn’t stop her calling them dumbasses.

Paula’s rebellious nature saw her running on the edge of serious trouble in her teens, but in retrospect, she said, having a strong personality might have saved her from tipping over the edge. Her Black Power boyfriend dumped her because she was too strong – she tried to organise the other biker girlfriends into a union so they’d get better treatment from the men.

When baby Ana was born she said it was terrifying knowing she was responsible for two lives with very little support.

“But inside me I had a real desire to do better; I needed to prove dad wrong. I realised that only I could change my life. Now it was up to me and I decided to forgive

myself. I couldn’t change what I’d done, but I could change what I would do,” she said.

It’s easy to beat yourself up, but you have to recognise your mistakes and take the next step not to make the same mistakes again.

For Paula, the ability to make a break with Taupo and her past came accompanied by tragedy.

One of her brothers died and left her $3000, a fortune to a teenage solo mum.

She bought a car, moved to Auckland and got a job in a resthome – a massive boost to her confidence.

“I’m still really proud of that job and I met some amazing people, people who made me believe I could do anything. They didn’t care where I came from, they just saw potential, they believed I could do anything,” she said.

Right – Taking a quiet moment to remember Ashburton’s Winz shooting victims, National deputy leader Paula Bennett.

PHOTO SUPPLIED en was to always have a plan B. “One time I was cleaning houses for extra money so my daughter and I could go to the movies. I was on my hands and knees in someone else’s bathroom scrubbing and I thought, ‘if this is what it takes me and my daughter to live and survive, I can do this. If this is as bad as it gets, if this is where I’m going to fall, why not take the next step up. If I fail and come back to this, it’s okay’.”

Knowing she could accept her current situation if that’s where she landed in life was hugely empowering, she said.

Accepting that as her plan B, Paula enrolled at university, a tough call with a baby to support.

“I graduated from university the day my daughter graduated from primary school for intermediate.

My confidence at university went through the roof, before that I’d had none.”

After university she began carving a career in HR and for the first time in her adult life started making good money.

As she built her career, her confidence continued to grow and she

managed to buy a home for her and Ana. That became her safe haven – a place you know you can always fall into and be okay.

“My back-up if politics failed was that it was okay to go back into HR.” A political career, however, was not something she necessarily sought and she believes it came through her success in HR, a career she loved.

Her first brush with politics had an embarrassing outcome.

Two high level National Party members took her out to lunch.

She had no idea why.

“They asked me to run for parliament. They said they needed a Maori woman and a young woman and that I fitted the bill. It’s a shame I wasn’t a lesbian because that would have ticked another box.”

A stunned Paula promptly burst into tears. Not just tears. She sobbed.

“I was exhausted. I was raising a child, in a stressful job. I was truly exhausted. It had been years of treading water, running non-stop to keep my head above water. I

said no.”

She went away, slept on the idea, looked at why she had said no and changed her mind.

She stood at the 2005 election and secured the last list seat. It was like coming home.

“When I got into parliament I realised the scrapper in me had found a great resting place.

“My mum says I was born talking and dad says I was born arguing.”

Paula’s career as a politician has been hard-won. From life as a 17-year-old with a Black Power

boyfriend and by 2008 she was an MP in charge of a $32 billion budget with 10,000 staff.

“Frankly, I was scared senseless,” she said.

Success comes from your own hard work, but it also comes from having people who believe in you and that drives you forward, she said.

As well as being a mum and a politician, Paula is now also a wife, marrying a boyfriend from her youth.

While she was still living in Taupo she taught flyfishing,

flipping burgers at a truck stop at night while her daughter slept in a drawer while she worked.

Alan Philps walked in and the attraction was instant. They dated for three years before breaking up, going their separate ways and losing touch. It would be more than 20 years before they would reconnect.

Finding Alan again was like something out of Sex in the City, she said.

Over a few wines with her girlfriends they asked why she’d never married or gone out with anyone for more than a few months.

“I told them I’d never loved anyone like that man and then the phones came out.”

Paula admitted she’d tried to track him down over the years and felt a bit ‘stalkerish’ about the whole exercise. Her friends didn’t feel quite so squeamish and set out to find the elusive Alan.

They did. He was a single dad with two kids and he was living in Australia. They contacted his daughter, she contacted her dad and the rest is history.

Paula and Alan connected but an election was looming and she was locked in a campaign bubble, the contact, however, continued.

“He told me he’d never loved anyone like he’d loved me.”

After a 20-plus year gap they decided to meet. That was in 2011 and seven years ago Paula married her truck driver.

She’s now 50, has lost 50kg and says she’s in a great place in her life.

She loves politics, she’s still ambitious, but her ambitions won’t see her chasing the country’s top job.

“My family is important to me, as is my job, but I don’t have that burning desire to be the party’s leader.”

Of course she’s thought about being number one, but when she looks deep inside she believes she can make a greater and better contribution to New Zealand as number two.

Looking back at the things that had shaped her life, Paula said the best advice she could give to other women was to be brave enough to take some risks.

“Women tend to talk themselves out of things. Take a deep breath and step in. If you’re prepared to step up, it will happen. Say yes first and then work it out.”

Stepping up and stepping out could mean some things in your life had to change, Paula said.

“I’m a control freak and I’ve had to let a lot of things go to do this.

I live out of a clothes basket, my clothes don’t hit the drawers any more.”

Those things are just small sacrifices if it means you’re living a fuller and richer life, she said.

Alleged murder letter sent to Gisborne police, media NZME

Baby Neve at naval ceremony A well wrapped up and cozy looking Neve Ardern Gayford joined her parents Clarke Gayford and Jacinda Ardern, along with Minister of Defence Ron Mark, at the commissioning of Her Majesty’s New Zealand Ship Manawanui into the fleet at the Devonport Naval Base. The nearly one-year-old brightened a drizzly day at the North Shore base with her hand-knitted purple hat and yellow raincoat.

An American teenager was murdered and her body buried on Kaiti Hill, letters sent to police and The Gisborne Herald newspaper claim.

Police have started an inquiry after receiving the letter three weeks ago.

The Gisborne Herald received a similarly-worded letter Thursday.

Both letters were datestamped Rotterdam.

The Gisborne Herald letter was written in black felt tip pen on a piece of white A5-sized paper in poorly-worded, capitalised and misspelt English.

The writer claimed a girl was murdered and buried on Kaiti

Hill. She was 14 or 15 years old.

Gisborne police received a similar letter but without the girl’s nationality and age.

“We are currently making inquiries to determine the veracity of the letters,” Detective Sergeant Daniel Kirk said.

“There is no information about the disappearance of a person of that age, gender and nationality anywhere in New Zealand.

“It would of course have been very helpful if the letter writer had provided some identification.”

The letters were not signed and had no return address or contact details.

“We would urge that person, if they are a subscriber to The Gisborne Herald online service, to

contact us directly,” Kirk said.

“They can either do that through their local police in Holland or directly to New Zealand Police through any of our online platforms.”

■■SUPERANNUATION

Spousal deduction policy to change

By Melissa Nightingale NZME

The Government is overturning a controversial policy from the 1960s that allows people’s pensions to be reduced if their partner also receives a pension from overseas.

Under the Social Security Act 1964, if someone receives a higher pension from overseas, their own New Zealand pension will first be deducted, and then the balance is also taken from their partner in a process called spousal deduction.

This sometimes leaves people with no pension money at all, while their partner holds all the finances in the relationship.

But the Government announced it was changing the rule as part of the most recent Budget.

“I think it’s long overdue,” said Donna La Fauci, one of three people who took the Attorney-General to the Human Rights Review Tribunal over the issue last year.

Pensioners challenging the policy in the hearing said it was “evil”.

La Fauci’s husband draws a US pension that is higher than the New Zealand pension. The excess is deducted from any NZ super he would have received, and what is left is deducted from her own pension.

At one point her payments dropped as low as $38 per week.

“If [my husband] was of a controlling nature I would be open to financial abuse because of this law,” La Fauci told the Tribunal at the time.

“I can’t believe the government would treat me differently just because of who I married.”

After hearing the policy would be abolished, La Fauci said it was “a long time coming”.

According to Minister of Social Development Carmel Sepuloni, from July 2020 nobody receiving the standard married rate of New Zealand Superannuation or Veteran’s Pension will have their

pension reduced because their partner is being paid an overseas pension.

“Spousal deduction will still apply for people who are still receiving other forms of assistance,” she said in a statement.

La Fauci, who began suffering health problems since the deductions started, said before then she was a “fairly average, fairly fit woman”.

“It’s affected my health, it’s affected my marriage, it’s affected my emotional health.”

La Fauci has been an independent woman for much of her life, raising her children alone for 15 years.

“To get to retirement age and be told by the Government, ‘well, your husband can look after you’, that’s what’s really damaging, that loss of independence, and it took me a long time to accept that.”

While she was pleased the policy was finally being changed, La Fauci has been in and out of hos-

pital with strokes and stress-related illnesses, and questioned if she’d live to see the change be made official.

Christchurch school teacher Jan McKeogh is another person affected by the policy.

She and her husband experience both spousal deduction and direct deduction, meaning she receives no pension at all.

Because of this, they are not eligible for the Winter Energy Payment. McKeogh hopes the removal of spousal deduction will bring her pension up enough so they can receive it.

“It’s a huge relief that we have actually gotten this far just a result of a stroke of a pen,” she said.

The removal of spousal deduction is expected to cost the government $5.6 million over a four year period.

By 2022/23, it is estimated that 450 people will receive their full pension as a result of this change, rather than having it reduced.

Legislation still needs to be passed to remove spousal deduction from the Social Security Act and the Ministry of Social Development needs to ensure its systems are set up for the changes to be implemented smoothly and successfully, which is why the change will not roll out until July next year.

Senior solicitor at the Office of Human Rights Proceedings Greg Robins, who helped take the case to the Tribunal last year, said he was pleased the rule was being overturned.

“Our clients, and many others, have been asking for this change for years. Many New Zealanders would have been surprised to learn that their superannuation can be affected by their partner’s overseas income – even if they’ve never worked overseas themselves – and this is a good step in the right direction.”

The Tribunal decision has not been released yet.

■■UNITED KINGDOM

May officially steps down BBC Theresa May officially stepped down as the leader of the Conservative Party today, but will remain as prime minister until her successor is chosen.

May announced her resignation two weeks ago, saying it was a matter of deep regret that she had been unable to deliver Brexit.

Eleven Conservative MPs are vying to replace her as party leader and ultimately, prime minister.

Nominations open on Monday.

May remains acting leader while the contest takes place.

The UK was originally meant to leave the European Union on March 29. That was then pushed back to April 12 and eventually October 31 after May failed to get MPs to approve her deal.

She announced her resignation, saying she had done everything she could to try to persuade MPs to support the withdrawal deal which she had negotiated with the European Union but it was now time for a new prime minister to try to deliver Brexit.

Leadership candidates need eight MPs to back them. MPs will then vote for their pre-

New-look Wonder Woman Wonder Woman was the superhero success story of 2017, breaking box office records and winning praise with fans and critics alike. Fans rejoiced when it was announced star Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins would reunite for a sequel titled Wonder Woman 1984 – and yesterday, Jenkins revealed the stunning first poster of the upcoming film. The poster shows Gadot in a golden new costume, set against a striking wash of colours resembling Wonder Woman’s emblem. Jenkins confirmed in her tweet that Wonder Woman 1984 would be kicking off its campaign in December.

Theresa May is stepping down as leader of the Conservative Party. ferred candidates in a series of secret ballots held on 13, 18, 19 and 20 June. Charles Walker of the Conservative backbench 1922 committee, which sets the rules, said: “We are aiming to have two people

by Thursday June 20.”

The final two will be put to a vote of members of the wider Conservative Party, with a winner expected to be an-

nounced in the week of July 22.

While the contest does not officially start until May steps down, candidates have already been jostling for position.

How the next prime minister gets a Brexit deal through Parliament and whether they would countenance a no-deal exit has been the dominant

question of the campaign so far.

Dominic Raab’s suggestion at a hustings he would be prepared to shut down Parliament – the process known as prorogation – to ensure the UK leaves the EU on October 31 has been criticised by his rivals. And Commons Speaker John Bercow said it was “simply not going to happen”.

Kids found in rat-infested ‘house of horrors’ NZME Five years after the bodies of two babies and a foetus were found inside her rat-infested home, a mum has cried in court after she was shown pictures of her surviving children.

Erika Murray, 35, is in court charged with two counts of murder after police found the two dead infants inside her filthy home in the US state of Massachusetts in 2014.

Her four other children, ranging from five months to 13, were taken by child protective services. The two youngest, a three-year-old girl and a five-month-old girl, were found stuffed inside bedroom closets in the rubbish-filled house.

The home, in the town of Blackstone, eventually had to be torn down after it was condemned, news.com.au reported.

BLOCKED DRAINS

Dairy Saucer/Wedge/Sump and Drain Clearing.

Speaking in court, neighbours described the horrific state of the home and how it was filled with “dirty diapers, fleas and maggots”.

“Horrible rotting food. Dirty diapers, lots of dirty diapers, baby bottles, maggots everywhere. It was really dark and hot. It was horrible,” neighbour Betsy Brown told the court.

“It was the worst smell I had ever smelt.”

Brown called child services

in August 2014 after her son told her Murray’s 10-year-old son had approached him and asked how to stop a baby crying.

When Brown went into the home, she was forced to use her t-shirt to clean faeces off the infants’ faces.

Blackstone police officer Michael Pavone told the court the rubbish inside the home was close to a metre high and crawling with maggots.

Speaking to Vogue for the magazine’s July issue, Robbie, 28, reveals she is sick of being referred to as a “bombshell” in interviews. “I hate that word. I hate it — so much,” the former Neighbours star said. “I feel like a brat saying that because there are worse things, but I’m not a bombshell. I’m not someone who walks in a room and the record stops and people turn like ‘look at that woman’. That doesn’t happen.” Robbie insists those who know her would never describe her as a bombshell.

Mercury eyes $300m capital bond offer

By Paul McBeth NZME

Mercury NZ plans to raise up to $300 million of subordinated capital bonds, which it will use to refinance an equal amount of listed debt currently paying 6.9 per cent interest.

The electricity generator and retailer said it plans to sell the notes to retail and institutional investors and will release the details next week.

It didn’t give an indication on the maturity of the debt or an indicative interest rate.

The funds will go towards redeeming its existing $300 million of 2044 capital bonds, currently paying annual interest of 6.9 per cent. That was a margin of 2.25 percentage points above the fiveyear swap rate at the time.

The interest rate on existing notes are scheduled to reset on July 11, but Mercury last month told holders it will redeem the bonds, which last traded at a yield of 3.8 per cent, or $101.408 per $100 face value.

Under the terms of that offer, Mercury could seek new terms and conditions through an elec-

tion process, but if that failed, the rate would be reset at the five-year swap, plus the margin and a stepup percentage of 0.25 percentage points.

At yesterday’s five-year swap rate of 1.525 per cent, that would imply a reset rate of 4.025 per cent.

Without the step-up percentage, Mercury would be paying annual interest of about 3.775 per cent.

NZX’s debt market has been a popular way for listed issuers to raise funds over the past couple of years, with low interest rates around the world making it a cheap form of funding.

Of the $5.84 billion of new capital raised on the NZX so far this year, some $4.37 billion has been in debt.

Mercury has hired Forsyth Barr as the proposed offer’s arranger.

The joint lead managers will be Bank of New Zealand, Deutsche Craigs, and Forsyth Barr.

The company’s shares last traded at $3.885, and have gained 6.6 per cent so far this year.

In April, the company lowered its annual earnings forecast as dry weather in the central North Island sapped its hydro-generation.

INGHAMS

Synlait Milk has filed for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court in an effort to remove covenants over its Pokeno site.

The company says it is still confident it can reach a solution with the involved parties, but lodged its application with the Supreme Court in Wellington yesterday.

“This is really just the next step in the process as we continue to progress all our options,” chief executive Leon Clement said in a statement to the stock exchange.

“We are also still in continued conversations with all parties and we remain confident of a positive outcome,” he said.

The land is being used for a second nutritional powder manufacturing site that is set to be commissioned in the current 2019-2020 dairy season.

When Synlait purchased the land in February 2018, it

8

was conditional on the seller, Stonehill Trustee, procuring the removal of the covenants which restrict the site’s use to grazing, lifestyle farming or forestry.

A High Court decision in November last year had removed the covenants and then Synlait took the title of the land.

However, the owner of adjacent land,Ye Qing, won his appeal in the Court of Appeal last month.

Clement said the company’s plans for the site haven’t changed.

“We will continue to work towards the existing project timetable including the build, commissioning and production.”

He said Synlait remains “committed to Pokeno as well as our shareholders and other stakeholders in Pokeno, such as our farmers, suppliers and staff”.

Synlait shares were recently up 2.9 per cent at $9.00 but had risen prior to the announcement.

AA Smartfuel discounts to cease at Caltex service stations NZME Caltex service stations will stop accepting AA Smartfuel discount cards from August 1.

In a letter sent out to subscribers this week, AA Smartfuel managing director Scott Fitchett said the organisation had ended its partner-

ship with Caltex “due to competitive commercial reasons”.

Fitchett added that AA Smartfuel would continue its partnership BP and announce new fuel partners by the end of July, taking the overall reach of the loyalty programme to 300 sites nationwide.

The discounts earned through

the programme amounted to a record $132 million last year.

In addition to Caltex, petrol stations Z Energy, Gull, Mobil and Waitomo are also not involved.

New Zealand fuel prices have edged upwards over the last few months – a trend that continued in May.

In late May, it was reported that the Government had passed, under urgency, a law implementing the second of three annual increases in fuel tax – adding another 3.5 cents per litre to the cost.

The increase kicks in on July 1, when road-user charges also increase.

According to the AA Motoring blog, the price of 91 Octane has risen from $2.06 per litre in January to $2.28 per litre by end of May. While this is still well below last September’s highs when fuel crept over $2.40 per litre, there are concerns over further increases due to another tax.

NZME A small drinks company was tracking along nicely selling its drinks to subscribers until it piqued the fancy of a global beverage firm. With ink to paper the business is now set to increase the scale of its operations by 20 times.

Auckland subscription drinks company No Ugly has signed a deal with The Better Drinks Co owned

by Japanese brewing giant Asahi.

The distribution deal will see No Ugly become part of the Better Drinks Co’s portfolio and increase the size of the operation by 20 times, taking the Freemans Baybased firm’s stockist numbers from around 150 to 3000.

No Ugly co-founder Aaron Taylor, an advertising professional who 18 months ago decided to pack it in and start the firm with his wife, says the deal would see the company, which creates “wellness tonics”, increase its production volumes from 7800 bottles, or 650 cases, each month to 72,000 – the

equivalent of 8000 cases a month.

The Better Drinks Co, formerly known as Charlie’s Group, approached Taylor about the deal in November.

The Better Drinks Co has been struggling with debt amid another year of financial loss. Last year it received a capital injection from parent company Asahi in an apparent debt for equity swap.

Financial statements posted to the Companies Office show the company made total revenue of $28 million in the year to December 31, down from $31m recorded a year earlier. Its net loss was $5.1m following a $4m loss in 2017.

The Better Drinks Co’s share capital increased from $49m to $96.3m, with the additional $47.3m coming in the form of new shares issued to Asahi in December.

At the same time related party debt shrunk from $51.6m in 2017 to $5.89m. A note to the accounts said this was due to loan and interest repayments via equity. The new capital has boosted total equity to

NEW ZEALAND SHARE MARKET

$20.8m, having dropped to negative $21.3m in December.

Asahi has big plans for No Ugly to expand into Australia and appears to be taking a bet on the brand to refresh its portfolio and drive growth locally and across the ditch.

Before expanding into Australia, No Ugly will launch in California in August.

Five people make up the team at No Ugly, the company works on a subscription model and delivers crates of its drinks weekly and fortnightly. It collects the glass bottles afterwards and reuses them.

The global health and wellness drinks category is fast-growing and worth an estimated $US100 billion. It has an annual growth rate of around 6 per cent – opportunity that Taylor wanted to tap in to.

James Connelly, head of The Better Drinks Co, said the company would apply some of No Ugly’s practices to other drinks brands in its portfolio.

No Ugly had a turnover of $500,000 in the last financial year.

OUR VIEW

Not coming – it’s here! Climate change I

f you want to kill a party, or put your guests to sleep, chances are you can do that by bringing up climate change.

It’s the discussion no one wants to have.

For years it’s been something only those on the green fringe were interested in, something that might happen some time in the distant future. It was a subject that few people gave more than passing attention.

That’s all changed.

Today a changing climate and how this will impact on life in our own district is suddenly mainstream fodder for discussion.

No one has the answers, but we’ve suddenly all got plenty of theories.

Attitudes range from the whole thing being a bit of scaremongering and that the call to do something is overkill through to a belief that we’ve already left it too late to start making a change.

We’ve missed the boat and we’re already too far down the path of self-destruction.

All of those schools of thought are probably right to some de-

gree, but two things are patently clear – climate change is part of our lives and will increasingly become so and there are things we can do to slow that change.

The Ashburton District Council is showing a lead in this area.

Fair to say, it’s not something all councillors took to with gusto, but those who argued against the need to take action were persuaded by the rest.

The council now has a policy around what needs to be done and what the likely impacts will be.

The problem is, no one knows.

Even with the best of science on board telling us what is likely to happen, the outcomes are at best, unknown, and that means

no definitive course of action can be developed.

It’s all guess work, guess work based on science, but science where there are so many variables it’s impossible to have one solution for many scenario.

The only thing that is common across the world is that we’ve created this problem and it’s now a race against time to stop, if not reverse, the changes we, as earth occupants, have made.

A new report out of Australia brings a dose of reality to the issue. If we thought we had many decades to clean up our mess, we’re wrong.

The report predicts the tipping point where civilisation is threatened is only a few short

decades away.

It makes sobering reading and it makes it very clear that things such as zero waste and zero emissions are no longer just aspirational goals.

And it means as individuals, families, work groups we also need to look at the things we can do – today.

The climate emergency that a number of local authorities have signed up to must be more than a just a fluffy slogan. It’s a reality.

Environmental destruction has been slowly building for centuries, but if we don’t take all the issues around climate change seriously, the final acts of that destruction will play out well before this century is over.

Ten years ago: North Korea’s highest court sentenced American journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee to 12 years’ hard labour for trespassing and hostile acts. Omar Bongo, 73, the world’s longest-serving president who’d ruled Gabon for 42 years, died at a Spanish hospital.

Five years ago: Gunmen stormed an airport terminal in Karachi, Pakistan, in an attack that left at least 29 people dead, including the assailants. A married couple shot and killed two Las Vegas police officers and an armed

bystander who attempted to intervene; the couple then took their own lives.

Let the children play

L

et children play.

Time and time again research has shown the vital importance of play in childhood development.

So much that the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights recognised play as a right of every child.

But all of the research and endorsements aside, we are simply built from the start to physically interact with our world.

Play is vital for brain development and from there our ability to interact with others. It also builds confidence and resilience, critical for facing future challenges.

A caution though, screen time is not play, it’s passive and does not meet any definition of play.

The lack of play has also seen a rise in obesity levels in the developed world.

Now you may think here in New Zealand we have plenty of opportunities for children to play, but we also mirror what is happening overseas.

A recent study in England found that the amount of time schools give for play breaks is diminishing.

In 1995, five-to-seven-yearold children had an average of 94 minutes of break time

Peter Livingstone OUT OF SCHOOL

while at school.

In 2006 it had dropped to 91 minutes and in 2017 it was down again to 85 minutes.

For seven-to-eleven-year-olds the numbers were 83 minutes in 1995, 77 in 2006 and 75 in 2017.

The study noted schools were bowing to public and government pressure to meet academic targets and therefore increased the class time.

Schools were also trying to fit more into their day with other subjects being given more importance than before and putting pressure on the timetable.

In New Zealand, most primary schools will have a time table that allows around 80-90 minutes of play time.

That is similar to English schools but if you start digging you will see that many activities take part in that time.

At the moment it would be common to find schools here

in Mid Canterbury scheduling choir practices in break times as they gear up for next week’s music festival.

Following that will be winter sports and again some schools will hold practices during lunch times.

There is also jobs like sports monitor, peer mediator, and wet day monitor that our older children take on.

So, if children don’t get to play as much at school any more, do they play at home?

My observations are no – not in large amounts.

When we talk to our students now about what they do after school we get some who respond that they played.

We also get many who say they were on a device or watching a screen and others who were at various lessons and practices.

Now, I’m not blaming parents for supporting their children with sports and dance lessons, these are certainly better than sitting and being passive in front of a screen.

The key, like all activities in life, is to keep a balance.

Letting your child be a child is part of the deal of parenting.

They will only be a child for a

brief period of their lives.

Play is unconstructed, imaginative interaction with the world around us.

Play lets us learn about others and ourselves.

In play we can decide on rules and find out if they work.

By playing we make decisions and experience new situations that can challenge and delight us.

Play entertains and brings joy.

Many times I get told that I am just a big kid – I know, I purposely play.

I know that when I leave this earth no-one is going to say I was great at paper work, and that is awesome. I would rather be having play in my life than not.

Play brings too many opportunities to laugh and enjoy the world we live in.

Now, has anyone got another blanket, I’m building a fort in my office and I have to have it ready for my next board meeting.

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

an organisation in Ashburton called Christians Against Poverty which helps people get out of debt.

But can they stay out of debt and get on a different pathway?

Jesus spoke a lot about money and the correct use of money.

He told a parable about three people who were given talents or gifts at different levels.

Two of them put their gifts to use and earned more. The master returned and was pleased with those ones.

A third person buried his abilities and did not put them to use.

Some people are burying their abilities. It is not the shortage of ability, it is the wrong values.

So how can these values be carried to the next generation?

I was most fortunate to be brought up in a family which valued hard work, study, thrift and saving.

It came easily.

I taught at a school in Nelson which read this story that Jesus

Christians and poverty he statistics on child poverty are concerning.

Statistics New Zealand has measured 13 per cent of children living in material hardship.

This is defined by measures such as putting off doctor’s visits, not able to pay power bills on time and not having two pairs of good shoes.

Everything the government is doing is good but are there deeper issues of attitudes and values which are playing a part.

Those children will grow up and live amongst us.

Christians are absolutely against poverty and there is

We welcome your letters and emails, but: told to the students on the first day of each term.

So, following Jesus is not about dreaming of the hereafter, it is a life of following his words and his values and helping others to do the same.

The right attitude about money is a part of this.

Jesus ended that story with the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant!”.

It would be good to hear him say those words to us one day.

Exercise puts life into retirement years Just because you’ve stopped work, you don’t need to head for the couch or a chair in the sunshine; retirement means you have the opportunity to take on a new range of activities.

Whether you fancy learning a new sport, stretching your mind through education, gaining fitness through exercise, or joining a social club, there’s a wide range of activities available that will keep you so busy you’ll wonder how you managed to work.

In terms of sport, the district is spoilt for choice – bowls, badminton, golf, petanque, walking groups, exercise groups, gyms, swimming, the list is endless when it comes to opportunities.

And some come with special rates and fees that ensure they’re within a retirement budget.

Bowls has long been the activity of choice for seniors, but the arrival of nine-hole golf has opened up new

34 years

opportunities for older people to continue with a game they love but where the challenge of walking 18 holes might be too much.

The EA Networks Centre’s pool complex offers the option to join an aquatic fitness class or simply to swim in a warm pool and relax in a bubbling spa. And for anyone over the age of 80, that swim will come free of charge.

While gym membership might be seen as something for the young and the fit, check in with any of the district’s gyms and they’ll tell you they design strength and fitness programmes for people of all ages. And for seniors, resistance training is important in keeping a healthy body.

Regular physical activity: increases muscle strength, flexibility, balance and coordination, helps to reduce the risk of premature death, helps to reduce the risk of falls, helps to prevent and manage health conditions like stroke,

heart disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis, certain cancers, obesity and depression, enhances sleep, wellbeing and quality of life and increases social interaction.

Daily activities such as housework and washing the car are great as they help get you up and moving, contribute to your overall physical activity and reduce the time you are sitting down.

Even small amounts of physical activity can have positive benefits on your health.

A good goal to set is to aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity that makes your breathing and heart rate increase (aerobic activity), five days a week. It’s about putting life into the good years of retirement.

That activity could be anything from gardening, stretching, walking, yoga, fitness classes or weight training.

Making the decision to downsize your home One of the keys to living a happy retirement is loving the place you call home.

However, the home you’ve lived in for many years, the one you’ve perhaps raised your family in, may not be the place to spend your retirement years.

Many factors come into play when retirees look at where they spend the next phase of their life, but the hardest decision is often when to make the move.

That move could be into a smaller home or into a retirement village, but making it at the right time is critical.

There are a range of factors that might influence a retired person to move into a smaller property, from a desire to free up cash for retirement living, to needing a smaller home with a smaller garden.

In terms of your current home, you may find maintaining the house and garden are becoming too much to cope with and if that’s the case, selling before things start

The key to downsizing successfully is to do your homework first. If you decide to go ahead, do it in your own time.

falling into disrepair would be a good move.

Downsizing comes in several forms. It may simply be a smaller house, or a unit, villa or townhouse.

Perhaps accommodation in a retirement village, complete with amenities such as pool, clubhouse, gym, tennis courts,

even a restaurant or cinema.

You may opt to be close to city amenities such as museums, theatres, hospitals and restaurants, or head for the coast to enjoy water views and sunshine.

Downsizing has a number of clear benefits. A smaller property can be less expensive,

thus reducing your mortgage or enlarging your retirement nest egg, it will probably be easier and cheaper to maintain and, if you choose wisely, may be located closer to services and transport.

If you’re thinking of selling your home there will be many financial, practical and

emotional factors to consider first and you need to do that over a period of time and ideally while the move is still an option.

The key to downsizing successfully is to do your homework first.

If you decide to go ahead, do it in your own time. Don’t underestimate the emotional wrench you are dealing with.

Sometimes, rather than a smaller home, a retirement village or resthome might be the best option.

And for some elderly, a major driver could be loneliness, making a retirement village the best option.

Retirement villages have their own criteria and conditions around purchases and contributions to maintenance funds, so if this is the path you intend taking, you need to seek good advice to make sure you are aware of ongoing costs and what happens when your property is sold.

Boulevard Lifestyle Village Rolleston The new privately-owned Boulevard Lifestyle Village has set the benchmark for retirement living in Rolleston.

When completed the village will provide the full continuum of care from independent living in villas and apartments to hospital, resthome and a memory-impaired unit. Karen and Dean Harris have been in the aged care industry for more than 30 years.

“We focus on the health and happiness of our residents and our reputation is one of providing exceptional care and service,” Karen says.

“We designed the village in consul-

tation with the people who would be interested in our village now and in the future. “We also involved some from a previous village who were able tell us what they would have liked to have seen different. This helped us develop a village which we believe makes us stand out from other”.

Karen and Dean, previously from TerraceView in Tinwald, were encouraged to consider building a village in Rolleston, and have been thrilled with the decision to do that.

“We have a great team aboard which makes a big difference, people who real-

ly care about this industry.

“The build has been driven by Grant England from GE Construction.”

“As the builder and a shareholder in the company, that personal interest makes a big difference” Karen says.

Karen and Dean live’ on-site and interact with their clients on a daily basis, and their industry experience has shown that people interested in the village want to talk to us directly not an agent.

“I believe we’ve got the right mix of age groups to provide the best village atmosphere.”

Where many villages cap the entry at 70 to 75 years we take clients from 55 years which makes for some fun social activities.

The first two stages of construction have seen the completion of six two-bedroom and three three-bedroom villas which are all occupied.

The next stage of nine villas are due for completion in July and only a few are still available in this stage.

Our home, our village For Tony and Irienne Ameye, settling into Ryman Healthcare’s Anthony Wilding Retirement Village in Christchurch was an easy decision.

“It made me happy, to know that if anything were to happen to one of us, the other has a place where they are safe and has social contact,” says Tony, aged 74.

“I was conscious that we were living on our own, and it could be quite isolating, while here if you take a walk it takes you a lot longer than you anticipated because there are so many people to greet and talk to,” adds Irienne, 72.

“It’s the peace of mind, really. It’s having the stress and worry of being responsible for a house taken away.”

The couple moved into their townhouse at the village in 2015.

“We used to tell our friends we’ve moved house,” says Tony “but it just happens to be in a retirement village!”

“It’s our home, as simple as that,” says Irienne.

Tony, originally from England, moved to New Zealand with his family when he was seven years old.

His family eventually settled in Nelson where Irienne’s family came from. They met at a local dance when Tony came home from Canterbury University, where he studied Physics and Maths.

“In our days you met at a local dance,” says Irienne, “while nowadays you meet on the internet!”

Irienne, a trained nurse, moved with Tony to Tokoroa when he was offered a job.

“It was in the middle of nowhere, and we used to travel to Taupo, to go for a hot swim,” says Irienne.

“We also travelled to Tauranga because I was homesick for the sea,” she adds.

Eventually they moved to Auckland where their oldest daughter was born, then a move down to Wellington, where their second daughter was born. Finally, after a couple of years, they settled back in Nelson with their growing family.

“My parents and Irienne’s family were there, so it made sense,” says Tony.

They eventually bought a lifestyle block, and Irienne managed the farm.

“

climbing ladders was becoming a bit of a problem,” says Tony.

“With me at the bottom of the ladder!” adds a laughing Irienne.

“We decided to downsize, and really the choice is to buy a smaller townhouse out in the real world or go into a retirement village,” says Tony.

“It’s in your mind a bit, I guess. Then somebody told us about Ryman,” says Irienne.

Tony and Irienne belonged to a walking group and was introduced

We also love the friendships we’ve made here, the happy hours, the staff, it’s such a friendly village. It’s got everything we like.

It’s the people in the village who make this home.

“It was a real Old MacDonald’s farm,” laughs Tony.

After many years in Nelson and retirement, the couple decided to move to Christchurch to be near their daughter and grandchildren.

“We quite like Christchurch and moved to a four-bedroom house in Halswell before the earthquakes,” says Tony.

“Luckily we scraped through with very little damage,” adds Irienne.

After a few years, the couple began looking at retirement options “halfheartedly”.

“So, we got to the stage where

to Anthony Wilding when there was a morning tea held in the village centre.

The location was perfect for the couple, as their daughter’s family is settled nearby.

“We couldn’t be bothered moving again.”

Anthony Wilding village is located in Aidanfield, Halswell, and boasts fantastic views of the Port Hills.

The village offers independent townhouses, assisted living in a serviced apartment, resthome, hospital and dementia care. The village includes an all-weather bowling green, indoor heated swimming pool, spa, internal

atrium, library, gym, hair and beauty salon, bar and shop.

Sales advisor, Susie Alayne, says the village has beautiful gardens, a strong sense of community and the setting is unique.

“We have all the benefits of a big village but we’re small enough that everyone still knows everyone else,” says Susie.

Susie says that the benefit of a townhouse is that it offers complete independence but with the bonus of having a safety net for times when you might need some help.

And that is what really clinched it for Tony and Irienne.

“The fixed fees definitely, and the peace of mind,” says Irienne.

For now, the couple is still enjoying being out and about.

“We’re still very active outside of the village,” Tony says.

They are part of a biking group and like to go tramping so the townhouse living is perfect for them as they can just shut the front door and head out without worrying about the house.

“We also love the friendships we’ve made here, the happy hours, the staff, it’s such a friendly village,” says Irienne.

“It’s got everything we like. It’s the people in the village who make this home.”

And the best part of living at Anthony Wilding?

“Not having to clean our own windows,” laughs Irienne.

AIRCYCLE exerciser provides gentle exercise without weight-bearing or strenuous activity. Inflatable, simple to use, soft on feet and easily carried in a pocket or purse you can use it from the comfort of your chair while sitting – reading, having coffee, watching TV or travelling.

Originally designed to help people with arthritis, the AIRCYCLE exerciser is hugely successful with helping relieve circulatory and foot, leg and hand problems. See the ad below for a list of conditions it helps.

A woman from Te Horo invented this simple device to help relieve her husband’s severe arthritic pain and stiffness. His arthritis carers were so impressed with the relief and increased joint mobility he experienced they thought it should be available to other sufferers.

“Aircycle is even better than the information says. The pain in my knees has gone and although I use a walker I don’t need it around the house anymore.

I can move more freely and have much

less pain in both my hands and feet.

My feet are warmer too and now I don’t need bed socks which I’ve worn for years,” said Gay, Rotorua.

Help to increase joint flexibility and muscle strength, balance and mobility can be improved.

Hence AIRCYCLE is used to aid: • those affected by a stroke, Parkinson’s or M.S. • those waiting for hip or knee replacements • anyone wishing to increase strength plus remain independent By helping to prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis and Overuse Syndrome it makes an ideal gift for: • office workers who sit at a desk for long periods • travellers on planes or buses Made in NZ, many hospitals, rest homes, arthritis educators, diabetes clinics, podiatrists and physiotherapists use or recommend it.

TERRACE VIEW RETIREMENT VILLAGE ALWAYS STRIVING TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT CARE TO RESIDENTS

1. How many nurses and health care assistants work at Terrace View? How many are fulltime and parttime? How many women, how many men?

We have 10 registered nurses and three enrolled nurses, all female. Most are fulltime, however two have part-time contracts and two are on a casual contract. We also have 18 caregivers, 14 female and four male. Four are casual, two on permanent part-time and the rest are fulltime.

2. Are the nurses and healthcare assistants vs residents meeting the ratio implemented by the Ministry of Health?

The staff at Terrace View meet the contractual requirements of the Ministry of Health. There is one healthcare assistant to five residents in the hospital level of care.

3. Do nurses and healthcare assistants have a daily routine?

Yes, they both do, however, routines are flexible depending on the residents’ needs and health status. Part of the nurses’ daily routine is to see every resident, follow up reports of being unwell and health monitoring requirements requested by GPs. For the healthcare assistants, encouraging residents to meet their daily health care needs and assisting them to attend the activities they wish to be involved with is part of their daily routine.

4. What training do nurses and caregivers have?

We have caregivers holding Level 3 Career Force National Qualification in Health and Well-being Health Assistance or its equivalent. There is one holding Level 6. There are nine fulltime, part-time and casual caregivers who are working towards this qualification at this time.

Registered staff are trained in syringe driver use, first aid, interRAI and palliative care.

Other training includes, but is not limited to, colostomy, urostomy, catheter care; alcohol abuse and management in the elderly; continence and catheter care; falls prevention, medication management; hand hygiene and infection control; dementia and challenging behaviour and many more.

5. How about communication – is it easy or hard to deal with residents? How is the reporting to families of residents?

We have an open-door policy in Terrace View. The residents can come and see the Facility Manager and Clinical Care Manager during business hours for any concerns. In the absence of the managers, the registered nurses are on duty 24/7 for any concerns. We report via phone, mobile or emails to the families regularly during reviews or sooner if there is a change in the residents’ health status.

We also have regular residents’ meetings where families are welcome to attend. We also have special occasions where we invite families to join us to celebrate.

6. What are the most common residents’ fears?

Often, residents fear that they will lose their independence once they come into the retirement village. Another fear is not being able to do what they want, when they want like home.

They are also afraid of losing connections to the community or that resthome life is boring.

7. How do you deal with those fears?

When a new resident arrives, he or she will go through an assessment organised by a nurse. This assessment, both medical and holistic, will help the nurse develop a personalised care plan in order to know the new residents well and address his or her fears. This plan gives the healthcare assistants all

the information they need to support the residents the best they can.

8. Do you have specialists coming in or do you take residents out in case of important medical problems?

We call specialists in on an as-needed basis. We have a regular physiotherapist who comes in weekly. The podiatrist comes in every six weeks.

We call on dieticians, an occupational therapist, palliative care nurse specialists, a speech language therapist, gerontologist and other specialists when the need arises to come and visit.

9. Do you do anything with residents other than providing medical care?

The nurses focus mainly on medically unwell residents, however, the healthcare assistants provide more of a holistic approach. We also have hairdressers who come twice weekly. Volunteers come and take residents for a walk outside Terrace View.

The residents also enjoy varied activities from van outings, crafts, music and entertainment, happy hour, weekly movies and so much more.

The residents and family can look at our weekly activities schedule. The activities are facilitated by our activities team and diversional therapist.

10. Do some of your residents’ health improve once they have moved to Terrace View?

Yes, some people definitely improve as we promote their well-being by providing them with structures. For example their meals are scheduled at certain times as well as their medication, some of them exercise more and do more activities than they were doing at home which helps improve their health and well-being.

Local connection makes it unique

You may have noticed an increase in Mobility Scooters on the footpaths over recent years. There are many reasons for this.

Mobility scooters have two batteries, and on average will travel 40kms per charge.

Power usage for charging is the equivalent of a heated towel rail.

At More Mobility, 113 Blenheim Road, Christchurch, you will find over 40 new and second-hand scooters to view. Brands include Pride, Invacare CTM, Shoprider, Heartway and Merits.

Prices for new scooters range from $2590 through to $7000, used scooters from $1800.

Getting super deals out of Supergold Card Your SuperGold Card could be the best tool the over 65s have when it comes to making their weekly budget work.

The card available to seniors and veterans can be used at around 100 businesses in the Ashburton District to secure a discount off purchases, activities and services. Those discounts range between 5 and 35 per cent.

You are eligible to receive a SuperGold Card if you are 65 years or over and legally and ordinarily resident in New Zealand, under 65 years and receive the Non-Qualified Spouse or Partner rate of NZ Super or Veteran’s Pension under 65 years and currently receive the Veteran’s Pension.

While Ashburton card holders have access to a wide range of services, they do not gain the benefit of their city counterparts who in many parts of New Zealand are able to ride for free during off-peak periods on public transport.

And the card is about to become even more valuable as to cater for the

growing number of tech savvy seniors, the Government intends to spend $7.7 million on upgrading and enhancing the SuperGold card.

And it will also spend more than half a million dollars to pay for a digital literacy programme to give seniors computer skills training.

NZ First leader and Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters has been the

card’s champion since it was introduced in 2006 and said the changes to the GoldCard would make it a “super, SuperGold card”.

According to the latest figures, there are more than 750,000 SuperGold cardholders across the country.

As part of the $7.7m upgrade, the SuperGold card website – which hasn’t been updated for six years – would

receive a revamp to make it easier to use.

A new SuperGold card app will also be created. It will link to the website and help show senior citizens where the card can be used.

The app and the revamped website will be launched at the end of this year.

In 2017, some 350,000 SuperGold card holders used a smartphone.

In terms of the businesses that have now signed on to be part of the Supergold Card network, there are almost 10,000 across New Zealand that offer discounts.

The government’s investment in digital literacy training for seniors comes with an $800,000 price tag.

For Ashburton’s Supergold Card holders the largest discount offered is at the Regent Cinema, $35. Several offer 12 per cent with a large number offering card holders 10 per cent discounts on a wide range of products.

Eyeing up their first win

Currie lays it on the line

Two upsets cause a stir

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

United A proved that premier one was where they were meant to be by taking a 38-29 win over College A in the Mid Canterbury Netball competition on Thursday night.

It was one of two big upsets which got the night off to an interesting start at the EA Networks Centre, with Mt Somers also picking up what was just their second win of the season, beating Methven A 18-16.

Both results raised a few eyebrows sideline, but for United A coach Karla Newlands her side’s win over College A wasn’t such a surprise.

United A were heartbroken last season when they were relegated to premier two, and fought their way back to premier one after the first round this season.

They started their return with a win over Mt Somers last week, and this week’s win over College A would have certainly made the remaining three teams they are yet to play, sit up and take notice.

“We go into these games with no expectations, knowing we can win, but taking each game as it comes,” Newlands said.

College A put the pressure on early, shutting down United A’s steady-as-a-rock shooter Olivia McLennan and forcing Newlands to make some changes.

McLennan went to the bench and Anna Edzes moved from goal keep to goal shoot, where she was a standout.

College A led 11-7 at quarter time and 18-17 at halftime, but from there it was all United A. Edzes controlled the goal circle at one end, while Natalie Shaw proved a menace in defence, as uncharacteristic errors crept in the game of the young College players.

By three quarter time United A had the lead 28-24 and by full time they’d extended the margin to nine.

It was the second loss in two days for the young College A side, after they lost 36-29 to Rangiora High School in the Canterbury

secondary schools’ SuperNet competition in Christchurch on Wednesday night.

With three games left to play in the first round of SuperNet – College A were winless and needed to start winning soon if they were to avoid the dreaded promotion/relegation game.

While they were starting to feel a bit of pressure, it was a different story in the Mt Somers camp following their narrow 18-16 win over Methven A on Thursday night.

It was a slow and low-scoring game, with a total of just 18 goals netted by both sides in the first half – the same number of goals

scored by College A alone in the first half of their game.

Methven A led 10-8 at halftime before Mt Somers got in front early in the third quarter and maintained the lead through to the final whistle.

Mt Somers player/coach Kate Oliver said her players kept calm throughout what was a tough game to get into.

“It was very slow, the pace was slow, but I just think throughout the court our defence was pretty good,” Oliver said.

She said the win relieved a little bit of pressure for her side. In round one they were in danger of relegation until their last game of

the round where they picked up a win over Celtic B, which instead saw the second Celtic team drop down a grade.

Celtic A, however, continued to be the team to beat in premier one, after notching up yet another win on Thursday night, this time beating Hampstead A 33-22.

Playing with some different faces for the second week running due to injuries and player unavailability, Celtic A got off to the stronger start and it took Hampstead A almost six minutes to even get on the board.

Celtic A led 7-5 at the first break, and steadily built on that foundation as the game progressed and

eventually went away with an 11goal win to their names.

Down in premier two, Celtic B also picked up a win on Thursday night, but they had to work for it, coming from behind to beat Methven B 36-32.

Southern A were also dominant once again and already looked like the team that would be playing in the promotion/relegation game at the end of round two, with the bottom team from premier one.

Southern A’s latest win was a big one, 44-14 over Hampstead B, while the other premier two game on Thursday night saw Ashburton College power past Hampstead C 39-16.

■■CRICKET

Holding hits out NZME Cricket legend Michael Holding slammed the umpires in Australia’s tense World Cup clash against the West Indies, branding them “atrocious” and “weak” after several controversial calls.

Holding, a former Windies fast bowler turned commentator, unleashed on the umpires after captain Jason Holder successfully reviewed an LBW decision when he was initially given out – incorrectly – for the second time.

Holding criticised the umpires, Kiwi Chris Gaffaney and Sri Lankan Ruchira Palliyaguruge, for caving under pressure and he also took aim at the Aussies for over-appealing.

“I am sorry but the umpiring in this game has been atrocious,” Holding said in commentary during the TV broadcast.

“For one, even when I was playing and they were not as strict as they are now, you were allowed one appeal. You don’t appeal two, three, four times to the umpire. That is the first thing.

“They are being intimidated (by Australia’s appealing). This has been an atrocious bit of umpiring by both.”

Holding’s spray came after um-

pire Palliyaguruge took his time raising his finger as Adam Zampa and his teammates appealed for an LBW decision when Holder missed a sweep shot. Hawkeye said the ball was missing leg stump.

This was after Holder had survived an earlier LBW appeal when facing Glenn Maxwell.

Holder’s ordeal with Palliyaguruge followed opener Chris Gayle’s battle with umpire Gaffaney at the start of the innings.

In his 17-ball 21, Gayle was given out three times. First he was judged to have inside edged Mitchell Starc to wicketkeeper Alex Carey, but upon review, the ball missed the bat and the noise that could be heard was the pill scraping Gayle’s off stump.

The bails didn’t budge.

Gayle escaped on that occasion and successfully used up life number two when he challenged Gaffaney after being given out LBW. Starc’s yorker was shown to be missing leg stump by a fair way.

It was third time lucky for Australia when Gayle unsuccessfully reviewed another LBW shout. This time Starc had his man – but he shouldn’t have been so fortunate.

Replays showed the previous delivery was a huge no-ball, with Starc overstepping the crease.

McCullum slams Black Caps #CWC19 NZME Former Black Caps captain Brendon McCullum has blasted Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor for what he called “terrible” running between the wickets while former coach Mike Hesson has revealed how the team would be “on edge” every time the pair were at the crease.

This follows after the Black Caps had three close calls en route to a narrow two-wicket World Cup win against Bangladesh at The Oval in London that sent them to the top of the table after two games.

Taylor, who has a history of poor running between the wickets and who has been found short of his ground on 29 occasions in his international career, was involved in all three mix-ups, two while batting with Williamson, and one with Jimmy Neesham.

At 61-2 in their chase of 245 for victory, Taylor pushed a delivery from Shakib Al Hasan to mid-on, making the call for a quick single, but Williamson hesitated.

The throw to the opposite end had Williamson well short of his ground but the skipper was given a life when replays showed Bangladesh wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim had accidentally knocked the bails off with his elbow before the ball had arrived.

Taylor was left to scramble for his crease only two overs later after Williamson called for a quick single straight to a fielder.

More hesitation followed in the 34th when Neesham was slow off the mark in reacting to Taylor’s call but made his ground by a frame despite a direct hit at the striker’s end.

McCullum could hardly hide his frustration in the commentary box after the match. “Great New Zealand batsmen, terrible runners between the wickets. Absolutely shocking together, these two.”

Hesson, the 2015 coach, added: “They’re actually both good runners between the wickets, they’re just dreadful when they run together.”

■■SQUASH

Methven titles go on the line Lee Barker has once again headed into a Mid Canterbury squash club’s open tournament as the top seed.

The Ashburton player is the top seed in the Methven Squash Club’s open tournament this weekend, as he looks to continue his stellar run of form so far this season.

Ashburton’s Steve Leckie was meant to be the second seed and the player most likely to give him a run for his money, but he had been forced to withdraw due to illness, so that thrust another Ashburton player, Agustin Maunier, into the second seed spot.

The home club’s best hope in the men’s

open grade is Mitch Sim, while Ashburton’s Katrina Palmer is set for a massive weekend, playing in both the men’s open grade and the women’s A grade.

Players from as far afield as Christchurch, Pleasant Point and Timaru, as well as Mid Canterbury’s other clubs, are taking part in the tournament, which caters for players from A grade down to G grade.

The tournament will head into finals stage this afternoon, with the first of the finals scheduled for 4.30pm, and the men’s and women’s A grade, and men’s B grade set down for 5.30pm.

Hampstead eye up win

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Rakaia rugby coach Terry Murray believes Hampstead are more than capable of finally breaking their 10-year Watters Cup winning drought this season.

He just hopes it won’t happen today when his Rakaia side travels to Hampstead for round one of Mid Canterbury Rugby’s Watters Cup competition.

And he’s not alone. Thanks to pushing a couple of teams to the limit in last year’s Watters Cup competition, and a much improved showing in this year’s combined competition, opposition teams are well aware Hampstead are a real threat this season.

Rakaia’s under pressure to win, but so are Hampstead.

When a team is in a position like the one that Hampstead finds themselves in this year – 10 years since they last won a game in the local competition – it’s not easy. All eyes are on them, eager to see if they’re capable of closing a game out.

Murray said his side – which finished 11th in the combined competition this year – has a lot of respect for Hampstead, particularly after the match between the two sides at the same time last year, where Rakaia scored a try in the final minute in order to win.

“We have a lot of respect for them. They are doing some pretty innovative stuff this year, they are training twice a day, and for me I give them a lot of respect.

Me and Kyle (Gray, co-coach) know we are in for a hell of a battle,” Murray said.

“These guys are a huge threat and to be honest I’m surprised they haven’t done better this year than they have, and I think they will definitely upset someone and I just hope it’s not us.”

Memories of that last minute loss to Rakaia last year are still vivid in the memories of the Hampstead players and coaches, as are the dying moments of their game against Methven, which they lost in almost identical fashion thanks to a last-minute Methven try.

Hampstead coach Shaun Bovey said the key for his side is to relax and not stress about the fact that it’s been so long between drinks, because a tense side will not be a winning side.

They have beaten local teams in the past decade, but only in the combined competition, not the Watters Cup. But they’re heading into this Watters Cup in a better position than they have in some years, having avoided the bottom section play-offs in the 22-team combined competition and instead finishing 16th.

But that, combined with how close they came in the Watters Cup last season, could also work against them, Bovey said.

“There’s no more surprise factor. Last year teams just assumed it would be the same old Hampstead team and come in and take your points and leave,” Bovey said.

The pressure is on, and if they don’t pick up that elusive win today, the pressure will just continue to build.

“If we pick up that big win first up, especially with the week off next week (due to the bye), I think the boys will be very excited,” Bovey said.

Today’s other match will pit the defending champions Celtic against Methven, two sides coming off combined competition campaigns which weren’t what they’d hoped.

Celtic coach Shane Enright said for the first time this season though, he has 22 fit and healthy players on his books. But, he is without Leauma Tu’uga, who is out for the season due to concussion.

His place has been taken by Jacob Sutton, who has moved from the loose forwards to hooker.

Celtic finished 12th in the combined competition and Enright said self belief is the key for his side today, as they begin their bid to win – not defend – the Watters Cup. “People get too worried about defending it, I think we have got to win it again,” Enright said.

While Celtic started the season with what was very much a new-look side due to a lot of players not returning from the winning 2018 side, Methven started the season with what, on paper, looked to be a formidable side.

And they have been, at times, but Methven coach Jason

Kjestrup said consistency has been their problem. They finished the combined competition in 14th spot, losing to Kaiapoi 17-12 in the plate final, a week after beating Oxford 53-36.

“The boys definitely knew I was pretty frustrated with how it ended,” Kjestrup said.

“We went from an average first half against Oxford in the semi-finals to a very, very good second half, and I thought they had finally clicked, and then the following weekend to go to Kaiapoi and play the way we did, we played better in the pre-season than we did in that game.”

Kjestrup said Methven’s focus this week has been on themselves, and how to become that consistent and slick side that they have the potential to be.

Their cause should be helped, too, by the inclusion of former Tasman and Mid Canterbury representative Gary Redmond at openside, in what will be his first start of the season.

The fifth side, and the favourites to lift the Watters Cup at the end of the season going on combined competition form, Southern, have the bye this weekend, which, given how the combined competition played out, is a good thing for the Andrew Carr coached side.

Southern made the combined final, which they drew 31-all with Glenmark at Omihi on Monday. It was Southern’s fourth appearance in the combined competition final, and the third time they’d drawn it.

The French Open was plunged into a sexism row yesterday after the decision to move the women’s semi-finals was blasted as “unfair, inappropriate” and “shameful”.

The final two women’s quarter-finals were played Thursday night with the semi-finals pushed back until Friday after torrential rain washed out all of Wednesday’s play.

However, the semi-final between Ashleigh Barty and Amanda Anisimova is now set to be played on Court Suzanne Lenglen while Johanna Konta’s match with Marketa Vondrousova was shifted to the smaller 5000-seat Court Simonne-Mathieu.

The men’s semis between Roger Federer against Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic taking on Dominic Thiem will be played on the main, 15,000-seat Court Philippe Chatrier as planned.

WTA chief executive Steve Simon said they were “extremely disappointed” by both women’s semi-finals being re-scheduled on outside courts.

“The four women who have played so well and made it this far have earned their right to play on the biggest stage,” Simon said.

“We believe other solutions were possible which would have been to the benefit of fans as well as all players.”

Complicating the picture further is the threat of more rain, raising the prospect of the women’s final being moved to Sunday and the men’s to Monday.

Tournament director Guy Forget had admitted that moving the women’s semi-finals to smaller courts could be seen as a controversial decision.

“You’re afraid that some players might feel that it’s a lack of respect or we are just trying to diminish it – no,” he said.

“Ideally, when you see historically what has happened in the tournament, we try to be fair to everyone.”

France’s former world number one and two-time major winner Amelie Mauresmo blasted the decision.

She said she believed the men’s and women’s semi-finals should be split between Chatrier and the 10,000-capacity Lenglen.

“It is shameful for our tournament,” tweeted the 49-year-old.

“Everyone agrees that the match of the day is Federer/Nadal. But what message are we sending by taking the decision to put the two women’s semi-finals on at 11am on the second and third courts?

No match on the centre court?”

“It’s simple to open Lenglen and Chatrier and have the two women’s matches at 1pm followed by the two men’s.”

In brief MCUFC still unbeaten Mid Canterbury United should come home from Christchurch today with their unbeaten status in the Mainland Football division one competition still intact. The top-of-the-table side is up against a Halswell United Goal Exchange side that is second to last, at Te Kahu Park. Meanwhile, in Mainland Football’s division six competition, top-of-the-table Mid Canterbury United are today home to the Hornby United AFC Pressies at the Ashburton Domain at 2.30pm, while the Methven FC Senior Bs are at home to the FC Twenty11 Thunder at the Methven Domain at the same time. The Methven FC Seniors, in division three, are also at home at 2.30pm this afternoon to the Christchurch United Prebbleton Shamrocks.

Celtic youngsters hit Coast A young Celtic rugby team headed to the West Coast over Queen’s Birthday Weekend and came home with gold, even though there were no medals on offer.

The Celtic Under 11.5 side embarked on a tour of the Coast over the long weekend and while it was a trip all about rugby, there was plenty of time for relaxing and sightseeing, including a bit of panning for gold at Shanty-

town, with a bit of success.

That was where the gold came into it, and while that was a lot of fun, there was a lot of fun had on the rugby field, despite a not so good start when it came to the weather and the result.

The crew – 20 players and 17 dads, including coaches Duncan King and Dave Rowlands – made Greymouth their base after leaving on Friday morning, and took

on Greymouth Marist that afternoon in pretty horrible conditions.

The Celtic boys played well, but due to the conditions the game was called off before the final whistle, with the visitors down 24-0.

On day two a bit of sightseeing in the morning was followed by game two against White Star Rugby Club in Westport, which

Celtic won 43-15.

They had a day off on Sunday, which was when they headed to Shantytown in the afternoon, after a morning at the pool, and on Monday they headed to Hokitika for the final match of their tour against Wests Rugby Club.

Celtic took out the win 22-14 and jumped on the bus for the drive home, with a stop-off in Arthur’s Pass for a snow fight.

Probe into violent all-in Taranaki club rugby brawl NZME The Taranaki Rugby Football Union and New Zealand Rugby have launched an investigation into a violent all-in brawl allegedly involving players, coaches and supporters of two top Taranaki premier club teams last weekend.

The incident occurred after

a late penalty lifted Spotswood United to a 17-15 upset win over fierce rivals Tukapa.

Sources said after the game-winning penalty was converted, a Spotswood player got in the face of a member of the opposition, who responded by pushing him.

The initial encounter fizzled out quickly, before the teams

kicked off again during the postmatch handshakes.

The Herald understands it turned into a brawl with players, coaches and spectators involved – though it is still unclear who exactly threw punches. At this stage, two players from each team who were believed to be at the heart of the incident, have been stood down and will face

the judiciary, while more may join them when the investigation wraps up, Taranaki Rugby Football Union community rugby manager Cole Brown said.

No one appeared to have been injured as a result of the fight as referees were able to break it up.

Evidence and statements are now being collected by the union.

They’ve just had a week off due to the long weekend, but only one of Mid Canterbury’s senior club hockey sides will be in action when the South Canterbury competition gets under way again today. Wakanui have the bye in the men’s competition, giving them a week off to recover from a big weekend, where the bulk of the Wakanui side swapped their usual blue for Mid Canterbury colours in an unsuccessful defence of the Ian Smith Trophy in Gore over Queen’s Birthday weekend. In the senior women’s competition, Hampstead are off to Timaru today to take on Cambridge where they will be hopeful of adding another win to their tally after picking up just their second of the season in their last outing against Craighead.

Barbarians refocus With the end of round two just a couple of games away, the Ashburton Barbarians return home today for a vital Canterbury Rugby League division one clash with the Shirley Hawks. It’s a big game because the Barbarians have dropped a couple of games in recent weeks and aren’t in the sort of position they’d really like to be right now, and they also have the daunting prospect of frontrunners Marist Saints at home to look forward to next week. The Barbarians beat the Halswell Hornets 60-12 in their last outing though, and would dearly love to keep that momentum going when they host the Hawks today at 2pm, at Robilliard Park.

AshHutt too good for flu-hit Waitaki side A Waitaki Girls’ High School (WGHS) girls’ rugby team hit hard by the flu had to technically default their latest Aorangi girls’ rugby competition game against AshHutt in Geraldine on Wednesday night.

But, the game still went ahead with a bit of help from the Geraldine High School team which had played their game earlier.

Only 11 WGHS players managed to make the trip, but Geraldine helping them to field a team

meant it was a great opportunity for the AshHutt girls to get a bit of confidence back after a tough few weeks, coach Grant Elvines said.

And the performance they put in was nothing short of spectacular, he said.

The girls from Mount Hutt College and Ashburton College racked up 50 points in the first half, and even with six changes made in the second half they kept the momentum up and

eventually took the win 97-12.

Elvines said AshHutt’s forwards set a brilliant platform, with flanker Megan Hurley scoring three tries before the backs started to cut loose, scoring tries from all over the paddock.

Grace Bleach continued to impress with a hat-trick of her own, while prop Jess Smith and lock Margret Eli found their mojo and ran rampant when they got the ball.

At number eight, Aidan Elvines

produced another standout captain’s knock, and again Emma Rollinson took great delight in running over, around and through the opposition.

The backs finally got the opportunity to show their wares after all the good work their forwards had done, and the midfield pairing of Roi Makutu and Talita Manu ran WGHS ragged, while wings Olivia Bishop and Tara Mellish once again showed plenty of pace and resolve.

Second half replacement winger Rangi Makutu scored probably the game’s most popular try in the corner, while firstfive Lauren Taylor and reserve halfback Madison Trusler-Clark also produced some valuable input.

With the bye in the next round, AshHutt would now not be back in action until June 19 when they would finally play their first home game of the season, against Roncalli.

Currie laying it all on the line

By Matt Markham

matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Multisport star Braden Currie is laying it all on the line in Cairns this weekend at the 2019 Asia-Pacific Championships.

The end goal, for the former Methven man, is to earn a qualification to the 2019 Ironman Championship in Kailua-Kona Hawaii and in order to do that, he’s got to perform on Sunday morning (NZ time).

Earn that spot and it’s off to Kona, fail in the mission and it’s back to the drawing board Currie is literally putting his eggs completely in one basket.

A new qualifying structure has meant a rethink for all of the world’s best multisport athletes, with consistent performances over the course of a season – and a strong showing at Kona the year before, usually enough to get you in the door – but that comes with its challenges for athletes with increased workloads to be up for many events.

Currie doesn’t really want to buy into the new system, but ultimately it’s about playing the game smarter and hoping that the luck falls your way.

“Now, just one race can get you over the line, and effectively the job is done until Kona. Many pros will still choose to race a lot, but I think three Ironmans in a year is a solid amount of racing.

“This year I will race four full distance and that’s about my max.

“So, if you have a bad race, or you get on the run and you don’t feel great, the new system encourages you to pull out and save yourself for another race.

“I simply want to race the events that I want to race. I also like racing a strong field of athletes, which is why I am choosing Ironman Asia Pacific champs.

“I believe that if I prepare well, then I’ll qualify. I’d prefer to put it all on the line, as that’s what I believe racing is defined by.”

Currie last raced at Ironman New Zealand back in March and heads into this weekend’s challenge in Cairns as the defending champion and is doing so in a really good head space and is more than happy with how his preparation has gone.

“Things are feeling really good.

It’s been a good consistent build up. I didn’t take much time off after IMNZ this year and have managed to roll through two really good training blocks with one break in between.

“Last year I only trained for 4-5 weeks in the lead-up, which retrospectively doesn’t seem like a lot.

Every year my tolerance increases and mentally and physically I am capable of more.

“Last year I was still pretty fresh. I feel like this year will be a good year for me.”

Racing begins at 7.35am on Sunday morning and the race consists of a 3.8km swim, a 180km bike and a 42.2km run.

Right – Braden Currie will be back in Cairns this weekend looking to defend his Ironman Asia-Pacific Championship title.

DEATHS

DEATHS

CHALMERS, Margaret – Seven years ago today Ray, Heather, Linda, Neville and Andrea Chalmers and family said goodbye to Margaret. On this day we remember one of Margaret’s favourite poems, Daffodils by William Wordsworth.

Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A Poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed--and gazed-but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.

I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Saturday, June 8, 2019

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You don’t require your friends to think like you do, but you do want principled people around you who have values in the same ballpark as yours. You have to be in the same ballpark to play together!

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): When you want someone’s attention and aren’t getting it, that can be bothersome. Change the channel in your head fast, before it turns into a bigger deal than it needs to be.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The laughter you share is no small thing. There’s so much that goes into a laugh. It’s an alignment of spirit at the very least and could represent a multitude of shared experiences and thoughts.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Investors use their instincts about finance to distinguish profitable investments from poor ones. More will be at stake in investments of the heart. Turn up those instincts regarding the character of people.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Just as physical wounds need cleaning and tending to get the best possible chance at healing well, so do emotional wounds. Don’t do the emotional equivalent of slapping a bandage over a dirty wound.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The fast talkers may not be saying what you need to or want to hear. The speed of their verbiage may be meant to distract you from the lack of real communication between you.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Sometimes being who you want to be is automatic. Then there are days like this. It’s harder. In fact, your personality is as defined by what you wouldn’t do as it is by your choices and actions.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): When you don’t understand, you’ll ask good, honest questions. The bottom line is that anyone who dismisses, deflects or distracts you from your line of questioning is hiding.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): It’s easy enough to look on the bright side in the daytime. At night, it’s harder. And anyway, you have to see the dark with the light to get an accurate picture.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Getting along with people is the skill that will apply across the board in every area of your life. Even when you’re alone in your own space, getting along helps the you-to-you relationship goes smoothly.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Friends will call you \for emotional support. Support has many forms.

It can be just listening or physical, like a pat on the back or a hug. It can be a moment of care, as in sharing food or lending a hand.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’re not working for feedback, but comments matter. They tell you whether you’re creating your desired effect. You’ll have to sort the valuable information from the rabble.
