Water plan leaves resident outraged

OUT TODAY

In the 21st century it is an outrage that a rural community in New Zealand should be forced to use stock water for their household supplies says Mayfield resident Deborah Manhire.

She’s angry that the Ashburton District Council has a plan to put residents onto a stock water supply because the rural village’s well is running dry.

“It’s an indignity, we’re being forced down to the level of animals,” she said.

Mayfield properties are already on level four water restrictions in an effort to conserve the dwindling supply.

This means all hosing is banned but the council is preparing for the situation to deteriorate further and plans to move a mobile treatment plant into

the village. The plant would allow water to be taken from nearby creeks, passed through the filtration plant and then piped into homes.

While that treatment would ensure the village’s drinking water met New Zealand drinking standards, Manhire believes residents should not be forced to use the same water that is used by animals.

“We’ll have lower status than a cow; we’ll be forced to use water after the cows and sheep have had a drink,” she said.

The mobile plant was about providing a cost effective way to ensure Mayfield’s water supply was maintained during the summer, said council service delivery group manager Neil McCann.

“We could tanker water in but that

would come at a huge expense, about $3000 a day. We can use this plant at a cost of $320 a week,” he said.

The council will buy the mobile treatment plant at a cost of between $100,000 and $150,000 as a back up facility for all of its smaller rural supplies. The cost will not be carried by Mayfield ratepayers.

“If we use stockwater through this, the quality will be the same as potable drinking water from a well,” McCann said.

The council will continue to look at long term options for Mayfield’s water supply.

■ TIMARU DISTRICT COURT

Accused changes plea on assault charges A man at the centre of a night of chaos in the Ashburton CBD early last year has retracted his not guilty pleas on three serious assault charges.

The matters were to have been the subject of a jury trial in the Timaru District Court yesterday, however Henare Te Mana Toa Carroll changed his mind and admitted an amended set of charges.

They were aggravated assault, assaulting a police officer, and causing grievous bodily harm.

Verokia Akama, a co-offender in the latter charge, also appeared before Judge Joanna Maze for sentencing on three counts of injuring with intent and one of wounding with intent.

Akama’s lawyer, Douglas Brown asked for sentencing to proceed, but Judge Maze was not persuaded.

In light of Carroll’s change of heart, she said it was necessary the two men appeared for sentencing together on December 16.

In requesting Corrections Services to investigate the men’s suitability for electronically monitored sentences Judge Maze warned jail time was also on the cards.

“I will call for them, but he was to understand he is not in a strong position,” she told Carroll’s lawyer Lee Lee Heah.

Akama, 20, was given the same message when he admitted his guilt at an earlier hearing.

Neither man had a history

of violent offending when they went to the CBD after drinking at home in the early hours of February 1, 2015, accompanied by two other young men, who are awaiting sentencing on lesser charges.

That all changed in the hours that followed.

After drinking at The Shed nightclub the men headed south on East Street shortly before 3am, where Carroll came across his first victim, punching him in the head, leaving him unconscious on the street.

An Ashburton police constable witnessed the assault. He left his vehicle and ran toward Carroll, who punched him in the face, gashing his chin and breaking his glasses.

Carroll then ran off, hiding beside the railway line for a time.

He later met up with Akama, who had already knocked out four people in separate attacks.

Together they set upon a man, punching him to the ground in a sustained attack. Akama also kicked the man in the head while he was on the ground. The pair left him lying in the car park with a fractured jaw and injured hand.

All seven victims of the alcohol-fuelled rampage sustained serious injuries, including concussion, lacerations and broken teeth. The constable’s wound required five sutures.

Carroll and Akama both asked to participate in a restorative justice conference and permission was granted.

■ METHVEN COMMUNITY BOARD

New board sets new meeting time Methven’s Community Board yesterday met for the first time in this local body term, electing a new chairman and voting to change their meeting time.

Dan McLaughlin will lead the new board while Hamish Gilpin

will be his deputy.

And rather than have a day divided by work and meeting commitments, the new board decided they’d change their meeting times to 10.30am from the traditional 1.30pm slot.

Yesterday’s meeting started off with a workshop where members came up with a wish list of things they’d like to see implemented and issues they’d like to see resolved over the next three years.

■ EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVE

Overseas farmers tour NZ farms Forty leading farmers from around the world are on a fiveday visit to Methven hearing about challenges and opportunities on the New Zealand farming scene.

The group includes large scale cattle, soy, coffee and sugar producers from South America as well as dairy, horticultural, pig and other farmers from the US, Zambia, Mexico, Netherlands and Australia. Six Kiwi farmers are also part of the group.

In Mid Canterbury since Friday, the farmers have visited precision agricultural specialists Craige and Roz Mackenzie at their Methven farm and visited high country Cleardale Station.

On Sunday they visited Grant Ludemann’s lamb fattening unit at Winslow and yesterday they visited Synlait before travelling to Lake Hood for an afternoon of industry presentations with a dairy focus, including sustainable farming systems.

The visit finishes today with a trip to Terrace Downs and a discussion about the future of farming.

The farmers are part of a global farmers master class organised by Rabobank and is an educational initiative designed to gather together some of the world’s best and most professional farmers to address global food security, and accompanying challenges and opportunities.

■ HIGH COURT HAMILTON

Jail for cruelty to bobby calves A man who cruelly mistreated bobby calves will now serve jail time after originally being sentenced to home detention.

Noel Erickson, 38, was secretly filmed kicking, hitting and throwing bobby calves while working as a casual slaughterman at pet food business Down Cow in Waikato.

He was sentenced to 10 months’ home detention and 200 hours community work in July this year.

The sentence was appealed by the Ministry for Primary Industries, which said it was inadequate.

The home detention sentence was quashed in the High Court at

Hamilton yesterday, and Erickson will now serve two years in prison.

Erickson had completed three months of his 10 month home detention sentence.

Judge Patricia Courtney said the original decision took into account Erickson’s lack of training and supervision, but that his cul-

pability was not “markedly” less because of this.

“It was simply a cruel disregard for the animals’ welfare.

“It is undeniable that Mr Erickson’s offending was callous and brutal and caused suffering to very young and vulnerable animals.”

The abuse was brought to light after Farmwatch secretly filmed Erickson in a hidden camera sting.

The Ministry for Primary Industries launched a probe last September following release of the footage.

Outrage over water From P1 “The particular problem is the aquifer it’s drawing water from is a local one with local recharge and over the past years the recharge has not been good. It appears it’s not connected to other larger aquifers so it’s a risky supply but it’s very expensive finding a long term solution.”

Earlier this year water meters were installed on each of the 67 properties. This was to monitor the supply and identify any leaks, it was not about charging residents for water, he said.

“At this stage, we don’t know when the Mayfield water supply will return to normal as it de-

pends on whether groundwater levels recover in the near future.”

The treatment plant would now become part of the council’s emergency management equipment.

McCann said the reality was that creek water that passed through a treatment plant was as pure and as safe to drink as any other urban water supply because the council had to ensure it met New Zealand drinking water standards.

“We won’t bring this into play unless we have to in an emergency situation, unless the well levels drop and there’s no water. This is about being prepared.”

MURKY HISTORY OF MAYFIELD WATER Problems with Mayfield’s water supply are not new; they’ve been aired for years and the search for answers is long and complex.

For decades the village was supplied by water from nearby water races or by rainwater tanks but as new rules were written around drinking water quality, the drive to improve the village’s supply has gained momentum.

In 1999 Mayfield School paid for water to be trucked into town for students’ use and the school later installed its own treatment plant to ensure a quality supply. The school offered the village an opportunity to hook into the treatment plant. There were no takers.

Attempts to fix it, however go back further, to the late 1980s when a shallow well was drilled. This

proved inadequate and the village reverted to stockwater race supplies.

The Ashburton District Council has had an upgrade of the supply on its books since about 2006 but has battled with the community to have it pay towards the upgrade.

While they wanted a regular, quality supply, residents did not want to foot the associated bill.

Over the following 10 years the council tried to find a solution that would be financially acceptable to ratepayers and in 2011 it agreed to buy a bore sunk by a ratepayer on private land. It then built a new treatment plant.

This bore was at 110 feet and into a shallow, local aquifer and while it was the best option at the time, it was always a high risk solution.

$300m boost to housing The Government has announced a massive new funding package for emergency housing, which includes 1400 extra places for homeless families and individuals.

The housing package, released yesterday, would cost $300 million over four years, Social Housing Minister Paula Bennett said.

The new funding would allow for an additional 1400 temporary housing places at any one time, Bennett said, of which 600 would be in Auckland.

The remaining 800 places would be in areas of high demand around the country.

In total, the Government was aiming for 2200 emergency places to be available at any one time.

Joining Prime Minister John Key at his weekly post-Cabinet press conference, Bennett said the funding would “see some of our most vulnerable New Zealanders receive the support they need”.

Housing NZ would repay the loan through rental subsidies and

the sale of properties that were no longer needed as more permanent housing came on stream.

This meant the loan was “fiscally neutral”, Bennett said.

Asked whether the major funding package was an admission there was a housing crisis, she said the Government was “unapologetic” about stepping up and addressing a need Of the $300 million in funding, $120 million would go towards building, buying or leasing properties which were suitable for

housing homeless people.

Most of it would be loaned to the state housing corporation, Housing New Zealand.

The $100m loan to HNZ was not money the corporation would have otherwise had received, Bennett said.

“It is quite separate from their permanent build.”

Another $71 million would go into rental subsidies and $102m would go to social housing providers to support tenants into permanent housing.

Messiah performance a musical treat Handel’s Messiah, Mid Canterbury Choir and soloists Director Sylvia Watson, Organist Martin Setchell St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, Ashburton, November 6. Reviewed by June Barrett.

The eagerly anticipated re-opening of St. Stephen’s Church following earthquake strengthening was celebrated with a joyful performance of Handel’s Messiah on Sunday.

Four soloists of international calibre together with organ accompaniment by Martin Setchell, all under the direction of Sylvia Watson, set the scene for a musical treat from the strong, opening chords of Isaiah’s Prophecy of Salvation.

Tenor Benjamin Madden from Dunedin, his first aria Comfort Ye My People so close to the opening, sang with confidence, the florid passages clear and precise.

The first chorus from the choir, And the Glory of the Lord was presented with clear diction and full rounded sound, setting the atmosphere for an uplifting and rewarding experience in this traditional lead up to the season of Advent.

Bass Robert Tucker of Blenheim thrilled with the richness of his voice in Who May Abide, with the rousing words of the Coming Judgement in Thus Says the Lord of Hosts.

The dramatic quality and timbre of the bass voice resounding

through the church before the joyful gentleness of the mezzo Claire Barton of Dunedin reassuring us of the coming birth of the Child, in Oh Thou That Tellest.

The full tone of For Unto Us a Child is Born showed the strength of all sections of the choir.

The familiar tenderness of the Pastoral Symphony seemed exactly right played on the organ, the instrument it was originally written for in 1741.

Martin Setchell drew every

nuance from the splendid St. Stephen’s organ to satisfy all in the gentle interlude before the soprano (Lois Johnston of Dunedin) and the Annunciation to the Shepherds.

The plaintive pleading call Come Unto Him was spine tingling in its sincerity, leading up to Rejoice Greatly. The soprano voice ideally suited to the venue, given full expression in the florid passages with precision and clarity.

The Hallelujah Chorus always

eagerly anticipated, was a tour de force combining all performers in full vocal splendour.

Messiah is a musical marathon for choir and soloists, requiring physical and vocal strength and agility.

Any insecurity is soon transparent. It is to the credit of director Sylvia Watson, choir, soloists and organist that the large audience was rewarded with a first class performance and drew a well deserved standing ovation in response.

Two brave Auckland sisters have waived their rights to automatic name suppression so their abuser can be identified – and to encourage other victims to come forward. Celeste and Tiana Smith were aged just 12- and 15-years-old when their stepfather started abusing them. At the Waitakere District Court last week, Ira Hayes Ricky Manamana, 43, was sentenced to 16 years jail with a minimum non-parole period of eight years. In a rare event the women, now aged 20 and 19, waived their rights to automatic name suppression.

Under New Zealand law victims of sexual assault receive automatic suppression of their identities.

■ UNITED STATES

Can Hillary deliver?

A central tenet of Hillary Clinton’s pitch to voters is that in a season of wild promises and inflamed rhetoric she is steady, competent and prepared to deliver results.

Should she win the White House, that rationale will be put to the test in her first 100 days in office.

The former secretary of state has unveiled a series of detailed policy proposals that would, if implemented, fill in the gaps from Barack Obama’s legacy, and allow her to begin to build her own.

It would be an uphill battle, though.

Obama has said that one of the biggest surprises from his presidency was just how fleeting the goodwill he garnered upon taking office proved.

Like Obama, Clinton will face fierce opposition from a Republican-controlled Congress, but unlike the sitting president she will be one of the least popular figures ever to take office. The window to implement her agenda will be short and the stakes incredibly high.

Clinton will have to choose her priorities wisely, as the course she charts during the first 100 days may well determine the success or failure of her presidency.

Immigration No issue has loomed over the 2016 campaign – and laid bare the gulf between the opposing candidates’ visions for America – more than immigration.

Mrs Clinton does not plan to build a wall, or assemble a “deportation force”. Instead, she wants to implement a pathway to citizenship and shield

Hillary Clinton says she is prepared to deliver results. millions of illegal immigrants from deportation.

Fortunately for the Democratic nominee, the American public prefers her proposals.

She has calculated that a bipartisan agreement is within reach, perhaps one that could even set the stage for compromise on other issues.

Infrastructure One of Obama’s greatest frustrations was that the massive infrastructure programme he promoted for years continued to be blocked in Congress.

He had wagered that rebuilding America’s crumbling roads and bridges could win Republican support, but the

price tag was too steep.

Clinton seems prepared to make the same bet and hope for different results.

She has pledged “the biggest investment in American infrastructure in decades” in her first 100 days, specifically targeting transportation infrastructure and high-speed internet access.

A drive down one of America’s motorways or airport stopover provides ample evidence that such an investment is necessary, but it will be difficult to find the funding.

Equal pay, paid family leave Mrs Clinton is expected to introduce legislation to narrow

the pay gap between men and women and ensure paid leave for new parents.

Her status as the first woman president may help her gather momentum, but both are viewed as Democratic issues which the opposition has little interest in addressing.

No-fly zone in Syria Mrs Clinton has said she will negotiate with Russia and Syria to implement a no-fly zone and establish safe zones on the ground for civilians.

Her foreign policy tendencies are more hawkish than Obama’s, and she has signalled that she will have a more interventionist Syria policy than the man who nominated her to be America’s top diplomat.

The Cabinet One of the key moments from Obama’s first 100 days was the installation of Clinton, his former rival, as secretary of state.

Mrs Clinton will make the nominations for her cabinet before even taking office, but the senate will have to confirm them. The confirmation process may provide insight as to just how dead set Congressional Republicans will be on blocking her agenda.

Under fire from day one Mrs Clinton has been investigated and interrogated repeatedly by Congressional Republicans over her emails and the Benghazi disaster.

That scrutiny will only increase if she assumes the Oval Office.

With opponents who not only object to her policies but consider her a criminal, any accomplishments from Mrs Clinton’s first 100 days will be hard fought.

Lorde leaves teens behind It’s official. Lorde is no longer a teenager.

As our favourite global chart topper turns 20, we celebrate just some of the many ways Lorde has – and continues – to kick ass. She won New Zealand’s most prestigious songwriting prize, the Silver Scroll Award at age 17 (and was nominated again two years later). She was signed to Universal Music at just 13 years old. She curated the soundtrack to a major blockbuster, spawning the hit single Yellow Flicker Beat and earning a Golden Globe nomination. She set a new record for the longest stay on top of Billboard’s Alternative Chart by a female solo artist. In 2014, she was in Forbes’s “30 Under 30” list.

Brad’s career in turmoil Brad Pitt has pulled out of all of his promotional commitments for his new movie Allied following his split with Angelina Jolie. The 52-year-old actor – who portrays the lead role Max Vatan in the romantic thriller – is reportedly refusing to do any interviews, press junkets or chat shows following his public divorce with the By the Sea actress, 41. A source told The Sun: “This was supposed to be the start of a big campaign push for Brad to finally win an acting Oscar but there’s too much controversy for him to risk any publicity. It also doesn’t help that there were rumours he had an affair with costar Marion Cotillard, which both deny.”

Record hot year may be the new normal The hottest year on record globally in 2015 could be an average year by 2025 and beyond if carbon emissions continue to rise at the same rate, new research has found.

An Australian study published yesterday in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society indicated that human activities had already locked in this new normal for future temperatures – but immediate climate action could prevent record extreme seasons year after year.

Its lead author, Dr Sophie Lewis of the Australian National University, said if the world continued with business-asusual emissions, extreme seasons would inevitably be the norm within decades and Australia was the “canary in the coal mine” that would experience the change first.

“If we don’t reduce our rate of emissions the record hot summer of 2013 in Australia – when we saw temperatures approaching 50 degrees Celsius in some areas – could be just another average summer season by 2035,” she said.

“This research tells us we can potentially prevent recordbreaking seasonal temperatures from becoming average at a regional level.”

The idea of a “new normal” had been used repeatedly when talking about climate change but had never been clearly defined until Lewis and colleagues developed a scientific definition for the term.

“Based on a specific starting point, we determined a new normal occurred when at least half of the years following an extreme year were cooler and half warmer,” she said.

“Only then can a new normal state be declared.”

This process was also used to determine new normal conditions for seasonal and regional changes to the climate.

Using a supercomputer to run climate models, the researchers explored when new normal states would appear under the UN Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change’s four emissions pathways.

The research team examined seasonal temperatures from December to February across Australia, Europe, Asia and North America.

“The results revealed that while global average temperatures would inevitably enter a new normal under all emissions scenarios, this wasn’t the case at seasonal and regional levels,” Lewis said.

“We found that with prompt action to reduce greenhouse gases a new normal might never occur in the 21st century at regional levels during the Southern Hemisphere summer and Northern Hemisphere winter.”

Victoria University climate scientist Dr James Renwick said the expression “new normal” was heard often today, but when the study worked out what that meant, the numbers were “sobering”.

“If the global community lives up to the Paris Agreement and we cap warming at two degrees above pre-industrial globally, we’ll see about another degree of temperature rise this century.”

Even at that rate, by the 2040s, every year would be warmer than the current warmest year on record, 2015.

A model diet?

Model Gisele Bundchen and her husband, Tom Brady, are famous for their insanely strict diets. It’s no surprise that sugar, white flour, caffeine and dairy are prohibited in their household. But totally normal foods like tomatoes, capsicums, mushrooms, eggplants and fruit are off limits too. “[Tom] doesn’t eat nightshades, because they’re not anti-inflammatory,” the couple’s personal chef Alen Campbell said. “So no tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, or eggplants. Tomatoes every now and then, maybe once a month.

I’m very cautious about tomatoes. They cause inflammation. The kids eat fruit.

Tom will eat bananas in a smoothie. But otherwise, he prefers not to eat fruits.”

Likely to win, but where next for Clinton James Ford

NEWS CO-ORDINATOR

W

e’re likely to know the result of the 2016 US Presidential Election tomorrow after months of speculation as well as fierce, and sometimes cringeworthy, debate.

This election has captured the attention of not only the American audience but a global one, too.

Yesterday the FBI announced it will not change the decision it reached in July after investigating Hillary Clinton’s emails.

But then with just two days remaining in what has been the most bitterly fought presidential race in history, how much will it affect Hillary’s chances?

Donald Trump was quick to condemn the system, telling a crowd of 8000 in Michigan that he rejects his opponent’s latest exoneration.

“You can’t review 650,000 emails in eight days!” he said.

Admittedly, it does appear to be a quick turnaround.

But the damage may have already been done.

A year ago it would have seemed absurd that Donald Trump would be the Republican presidential candidate and mixing it with a political heavyweight like Clinton.

But here he is, neck and neck.

As Trump’s credibility has risen in the polls, to the point in which even the most ardent of her supporters will wince at the numbers, Hillary’s has plummeted.

It appeared to be a no brainer.

The experience in politics is there, the polished speeches and media nous is, too.

But somehow the race to the Oval Office is far from a foregone conclusion.

Stories of her husband Bill’s exploits accompanied by a growing mistrust of the Clinton Foundation have also greased an increasingly slippery slope.

Latest revelations of Hilary’s daughter Chelsea allegedly using resources from the Clinton Foundation for her wedding six years ago have also emerged.

Clinton supporters will be left wondering how it ever became this close.

In the ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll, Clinton was ahead of Trump by 12 points on October 23, but that lead had narrowed to one point a week later.

On paper, this should have been a stroll to the White House for Clinton, yet, through her own apparent misdemeanors, along with the public’s growing contempt for the political norms, her reputation has been irreparably damaged.

With thefts from farms on the rise, farmers will need to take a serious look at their on-farm security.

Lazy scumbags prey on young couple O

nce again stock theft is in the news. Some scumbags too lazy to rear their own calves wait for an enterprising couple to do the hard yards, then steal 55 of their animals.

This young Canterbury couple are working multiple jobs as well as rearing calves to get ahead in life.

Rearing calves alone is a timeconsuming job, with morning and evening feeding, individual animal attention required to ensure good animal health, plus the necessary cleaning to maintain a healthy environment.

This couple have clear goals on what their future holds and one just around the corner, their marriage, has now been pushed out into the future.

This theft highlights many of the factors being promoted around New Zealand at the combined FMG/NZ Police/ Federated Farmers Rural Crime Prevention Workshops.

When speaking at these workshops my number one point

CharRees Vineyard Ashburton’s own vineyard

Rick Powdrell FROM THE FARM

about getting on top of rural theft is the need to report all crime and suspicious activity.

In this case the couple reported the crime immediately.

A neighbour came forward soon after with information regarding vehicle movements in the area.

I would imagine that neighbour is now wishing they had reported what they saw in the early hours of the morning to the owner or police at that time.

It highlights that if you see something out of the normal, something that looks dodgy, it so often will be dodgy.

A myth that needs to be corrected is that police are not interested in suspicious activity.

Police do want to know; don’t hesitate to call 111.

So often the suspicious reports either fill a gap in an investigation or help paint a picture of offenders’ movements.

To their credit the neighbour did note what they viewed, the time, and reacted instantly to supply the information on hearing of the crime.

This information has provided police with strong leads in their search for these parasites.

This neighbourly act highlights my third point, which is the importance of having rural support groups, neighbours looking out for neighbours, talking about the issues in their local patch.

Neighbourhood Support New Zealand can assist rural residents to form a group while the police are willing to visit groups and discuss the issues.

By now you will be wondering what point two is. It’s to implement all practical security measures on your farm. That will

vary as no two properties are alike and there are a multitude of security measures available.

Some basic measures apply to most properties: Keeping road gates closed where possible, lock them if intruder risk high; locking storage sheds and good lighting are all a good starting points.

For this young couple we hope other people may have witnessed the vehicles involved, or noticed calves fitting the description somewhere, so that these scumbags are apprehended and the much-loved calves returned. * FMG/NZ Police/Federated Farmers Rural Crime Prevention Workshops will be held in the Canterbury region early next year. Federated Farmers will publicise details when venues and times are confirmed.

Agria trading suspended

BY JAMIE GRAY Alan Lai’s Cayman Islands-registered Agria Corp, which owns just over half of New Zealand rural services group PGG Wrightson (PGW), has had its shares suspended from trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for what the exchange alleges was management’s attempts to artificially inflate Agria’s share price.

In a statement, Agria said it had received a letter saying that the NYSE would start proceedings to delist Agria’s depositary shares and advising that trading of Agria’s shares on the exchange had been suspended.

The company said it had received a request for information from the exchange on July 13 in connection with a review of the company’s compliance with the NYSE’s minimum price requirements and trading activity.

The company said it had been working with the exchange in responding to its request for information.

The NYSE also said it had uncovered evidence demonstrating that the company and its management engaged in operations “contrary to the public interest” and not in keeping with sound public policy pursuant to requirement of exchange’s Listed Company Manual.

“NYSE stated that it identified evidence indicating that the company (i) through a top executive and other intermediaries engaged in trading intended to artificially inflate Agria’s stock price, including to improperly avoid having the company delisted for failing to comply with NYSE’s continued listing standards requiring companies to maintain an average stock price of at least $US1.00 per share over a consecutive thirty-day trading period; and (ii) provided incomplete, misleading, or false information in connection with investigations related to these issues,” Agria said in a statement.

“The company is in the process of obtaining additional information about the circumstances of

the NYSE allegations and considering additional options, including filing an appeal to the committee of the board of directors of the NYSE challenging the commencement of delisting proceedings,” Agria said.

Agria’s American Depositary Shares last traded on the NYSE at US0.85c.

Agria indirectly holds 50.22 per cent PGG Wrightson (PGW) through Agria (Singapore).

The independent directors of PGW, Bruce Irvine, John Nichol and Ronald Seah have reformed as a committee to consider and assess the implications that the subject matter of the announcement may have on PGW, PGW said.

“Mr Irvine said that the committee would continue to monitor matters and would update the market if there are any material developments that may require consideration by PGW shareholders,” the company said.

Last December Agria received a subpoena from the US Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a “non-public” investigation. The commission’s subpoena was focused on, among other things, Agria’s historic and ongoing business operations in China, Agria said.

“The subpoena advised that the existence of the investigation should not be construed as an indication by the SEC or its staff that the company or any of its officers or directors had violated any of the federal securities laws,” Agria said.

Online auction site Trade Me has bought $670,000 of shares in peer-to-peer lender Harmoney Corp to keep its stake at 14.4 per cent.

The Wellington-based company bought about 1.3 million series B shares at 51 cents apiece, matching the price paid by Heartland Bank when it boosted its stake with a $4m investment last month.

Harmoney joint chief executive Neil Roberts, the company’s biggest shareholder, said the investment will support the firm’s growth.

“Despite regulatory uncertainty, Harmoney continues to experience growth, with more than $350m lent via our marketplace in a little over two years,” Roberts said in a statement.

“Trade Me’s continued support is a great endorsement for Harmoney’s potential as Australasia’s leading peer-to-peer lending marketplace.”

Institutional funders dominate Harmoney’s funding, accounting for about $18m last month compared to retail investors’ at some $6m.

Harmoney burned through almost $13m of cash in the year ended March 31, leaving it with about $8m in cash and equivalents at balance date.

When it reported its annual earnings in late July, it had brokered $275m of loans through its portal.

In February, Harmoney had

Clinton good for market New Zealand share prices rallied by almost two per cent yesterday on the back of news from FBI director James Comey that there was no evidence in newlydiscovered emails to warrant criminal charges against the US Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

It’s the second such decrease in under a week with 91 Unleaded now down to 193.9 cents per litre and diesel sitting on 123.9 cents per litre. A spokesperson for BP said the decrease in price is a result of a continued decrease in refined costs.

Auckland tourism up Tourism spend for Auckland is estimated at $7.4 billion for the year to September 2016, a 9 per cent increase on last year, according to information released yesterday from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

At the time, Roberts said he didn’t envisage raising more funds until Harmoney was cashflow neutral, which it would then use to develop into a large-scale business.

Harmoney got a head-start as the first mover in the market but is facing increased competition from the arrival of other licensed P2P lenders Squirrel Money, LendMe, Lending Crowd and PledgeMe, which also operates a crowdfunding platform.

In August, Harmoney said it would plead guilty to six charges relating to a pre-approval letter sent in various forms to more than 500,000 Kiwis between October 2014 and April 2015, which misled recipients by telling them they had been pre-approved to borrow money.

New Zealand Grassland Association conference delegates on a field day at the Ulrichs’ Rock Farm, Cave.

PHOTO SUPPLIED

Science to the fore The New Zealand Grassland Association’s 78th annual conference last week was packed with papers promising productivity gains and environmental solutions for pastoral farmers.

The conference in Timaru attracted just over 300 delegates from across the country, including many leading scientists.

Papers presented covered everything from fescue to fodderbeet and lupins to lucerne.

Association president David Stevens, Agresearch, said it was a great event with some ground-breaking science presented and fantastic farm-visit field days.

Those field days included two robotic dairy farms and a dryland finishing property on the first day of the conference, followed by a cutting edge dryland sheep and beef property and an irrigated finishing farm on day two. The field days helped scientists see previous research being put into practice, and hear what challenges local farmers face that might require future

research. Meanwhile, the morning sessions relayed the latest findings.

“What we are here for is science, and that’s what we endorse,” Stevens said in his closing comments to the conference.

“The association does not endorse products; it does not endorse processes and it does not endorse cultivars. We are here for debate, and we welcome that.”

With an increasing amount of pastoral research being conducted by, or at least controlled by, commercial companies, Stevens encouraged them to submit their work to the independent peer-review process the NZGA provided. If it proved scientifically sound, it would make it into the conference programme and associated journal.

“I think it’s a really important part of our future … A lot of the pastoral sector’s science is now conducted outside of our formal institutions and we really do welcome our industry partners putting that science up here at the conference.”

MARKET REPORT Dairy Managers will look back at October and marvel at the turn around on dry land feed prospects that occurred this month, as the weather forecasters suggested we are moving into a la nina phase.

Regular rains and mild conditions have seen good growth of pastures that combined with water for those that have irrigation, has transformed the spring, feed wise.

Silage contractors have been busy harvesting the surplus, and even in the lightly stocked areas of North Canterbury, many will have feed to save for supplements.

Nationally, milk flows are much lower, led by the important Waikato catchment, and with Fonterra reducing volumes at auction, this had a positive effect on prices at last week’s event.

Overall values jumped by 11.4 per cent, led by whole milk powders at nearly 20 per cent which was its biggest lift since 2014.

Now all the banks are suggesting a forecast of $6/kg ms is a possibility.

Submission rates and body condition scores of cows up north are well back, but Canterbury’s cows mating prospects look good.

Lamb More schedule falls this week as the UK chilled Christmas production ends soon, and with a weak pound this important market destination for NZ lamb will continue to be difficult.

Lambs appear to be doing well in the province, but with contracts at $5.60/kg for November and $5.40 for December, returns are very disappointing.

Beef+Lamb NZ are forecasting average sheep and beef farmers’ incomes will be 13 per cent lower than last year with wool, lamb and beef returns all falling.

As the volumes of last year’s prime lambs disappear from the saleyards, new season’s stock are being sold in the low $100s. But these prices are easing with the schedules

Wool No auction this week, but one meat processor reports that Chinese currency devaluations have been unhelpful, and recent sales are more than $1/kg down on last year.

There have been rumblings from shareholders at NZMerino about management control, where it is perceived costs and bonuses to staff have been at the expense of growers’ returns.

Beef Beef schedules continue their easing trend even as an unexpected flurry of orders comes out of the US, but marketers expect this to be short lived and expect cautious trading well into the autumn of 2017.

The weaner dairy beef sales have started up north and while they are stronger than last year, some of the optimism has waned, on the back of softer prospects from the US for this type of beef.

The strong grass supply has kept the saleyard market strong for store stock, but margins could be lean based on the falling schedules for prime stock.

Deer More sharp reductions in venison schedules as the harvest changes to frozen supply.

Deer Industry NZ reports velvet production increased by 10 tonnes last year and is estimated to increase by 15 tonnes next year, but they are confident this pace of growth can be adsorbed by their new market initiatives.

CharRees blends new bubbly

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

CharRees vineyard owner Charlie Hill is hoping an unseasonal frost will not dash hopes of a bumper crop of grapes this season.

Ill health earlier this year kept Hill out of the vineyard at Tinwald and he surrendered what he thought was a substandard crop to the birds rather than press on for an inferior wine.

Hill and his wife Esma spend all their spare time in the vineyard, which has 1800 riesling, 3500 pinot noir and 4000 pinot gris vines.

It is a passion and business they would like to grow to include a restaurant on the grounds.

But frost protection is a luxury they can’t afford. Right now the vines are bursting with new growth, responding to the warmer weather and Hill has his fingers crossed.

It is the busy season and the Hills have enlisted two casual staff to help get through the thinning work. Each vine is being stripped of unwanted buds ahead of flowering mid-December.

The vines will also be sprayed to stop disease and after Christmas they will be topped. The flowers are wind pollinated and the fruit that develops will be carefully monitored.

Hill said birds were a major enemy and would ravage the vines when the grapes began to change colour in February. Huge nets are hung across the vineyard to deter them.

Once the nets are on, fruit that has not begun to ripen is culled; the grapes that will be picked and sent to winemaker Kirk Bray in Waipara need to be at the same stage in the ripening process.

Hill said he had learned the vines’ unique cycles over the past 10 years and timing the harvest was important as sugar levels affected the quality of wine and its

Like all farmers, the success of his crop depends on Mother Nature. Hail and wind is also a worry.

He is optimistic for the crop this season and for sales of a new sparkling wine, which he and Esme helped blend using past seasons’ dry and sweet riesling with a spicy

pinot gris.

“We spent a lot of time blending wines around the kitchen table using a Soda Stream,” Hill said.

The end result was perfected by their winemaker and is being sold in screwtop form.

Their 2016 riesling is due to be bottled on December 14 and Hill

says early tasting is “very nice”.

The Hills host wine tastings at the vineyard and visitors include conference participants and amateur winemakers from all over the country.

They are surprised to learn Mid Canterbury, better known for its cows and sheep, is grape-growing

country.

CharRees wines have collected five bronze medals over the past decade and Hill says he learns more about viticulture each season.

He hopes to share some of that knowledge in an open day at the vineyard on November 20.

Dairy farm opens to public The Lincoln University Dairy Farm (LUDF) will again open its gates to the public on November 18 and 19 to showcase the operations of a commercial dairy farm.

Visitors will get an opportunity to get up close and learn about the transformation of sunshine into food. Canterbury secondary schools have been invited to attend on Friday and on Saturday (from 1-4pm) will be the main event for everyone else.

People will be able to look into aspects of the dairy industry and the multifaceted factors that turn sunshine into food from those industry professionals, scientists and farmers at the heart of it.

Through displays and demonstrations, visitors will be able to learn about the complex world of modern dairy farming and the global dairy industry as a whole: the science, the technology, the logistics, and the business of New Zealand’s largest export earner.

The farm showcases the range of career opportunities available in the industry, from soil scientists and pasture managers to food technicians, marketers and farmers.

The low-down on mastitis

By Linda CLarke

linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Dairy Women’s Network and Waikato-based company Deosan teamed up last week to help Mid Canterbury dairy farmers learn more about mastitis.

The information evening covered the basic biology of teat health and the different strains of mastitis bacteria (staph, strep and Ecoli), and how to prevent them.

Mastitis detection in the herd, teat sprays and treatment were also covered.

Deosan specialises in udder health, dairy hygiene and liquid mineral products and linked with the Dairy Women’s Network (DWN) earlier this year to run a series of free workshops.

Deosan chief executive Kip Bodle said DWN was a good fit for the company and that many of his female staff members have long supported and respected the network and expressed an interest in the two organisations working together.

“From a business perspective, women are particularly influential in decision-making around teat condition and mastitis prevention and we want to be engaging with an audience who is interested in the science behind these technologies.

“We recognise the contribution women make to dairy farming in New Zealand and are honoured

Kerry Ring, from Deosan, talks through mastitis management with Mid Canterbury dairy farmers last week.

PHOTO TETSU MITOMO 021116-TM-0010 to be able to provide our support to developing the role of women in the industry.”

Deosan is known for its product innovation around dairy shed consumable products and offers a range of teat care, dairy hygiene and liquid mineral products in-

cluding its signature teat spray TeatX. Bodle said they tried to source environmentally friendly ingredients and ways to improve biodegradability with no compromise to on-farm performance.

DairyNZ says there is growing

international pressure to restrict or improve use of antimicrobials in agriculture, to reduce the risk of microbial resistance to antibiotics used for human health.

A pilot study of dry cow mastitis is expected to yield good information.

■ EARLY BIRD DEADLINE

Dairy industry awards: Getting in early may score you a free holiday Mid Canterbury dairy farmers thinking about entering the New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards could win a free holiday if they enter by the early bird deadline tomorrow.

The awards have categories for sharefarmer of the year, dairy manager of the year and dairy trainee of the year.

The close-off for entries is November 30 but early bird entries

could be in with a chance to win a share of $12,000 in travel vouchers and spending money.

Awards general manager Chris Keeping said the early bird draw was a way to help dairy farmers

take a break and have some fun.

“Farming is a 24/7 career and it is so important to take time away from the farm and have a holiday.

Many farmers use the time to enjoy family and plan future personal

and business goals.”

Keeping said more than 120 people had already entered the 2017 awards programme. More information can be found at www.dairyindustryawards.co.nz

Stone sculptors’ field tri

BY GLENN VALLENDER AND TANYA ROBINSON

T

he Ashburton Museum team likes to get out and about to share and discover more about the heritage of our district.

We already know that we live in an amazingly rich and interesting heritage area, but don’t always get to think back to our geological history. Thinking through geology puts time into a very different perspective. Instead of thinking in decades or centuries, geology works at a vastly different scale, with years counted in the millions.

It’s also geology that impacts our sense of cultural and heritage landscapes – shaping the landforms that we live upon and use today. A recent visit by Ashburton Museum team members and the sculptors working at the Ashburton Domain in the stone sculpture symposium helped bring this history to light.

A group of about 20 carvers and history buffs took a tour to Mount Somers Quarry and limestone cottage and to the Geological and Historical Museum at Staveley. This heritage page is based on that tour.

On the bus An early 8am start saw the group board a bus bound for the foothills villages of Mt Somers and Staveley.

The aim of the trip was to provide participants with historical information about the old Mount Somers (Chapmans) Quarry. Symposium carvers are using both Timaru bluestone (basalt) and Mount Somers limestone, so the tour also gave an overview of the geological formation of the limestone they are using, and was a chance to see where it came from.

The symposium rock material was generously provided by David Acland of Mt Somers Station, who also accompanied the party to the limestone cottage and old quarry. It was John Bartrum Arundel Acland (1824-1904) and Charles George Tripp (1820-1897) who first had the Mt Somers Station, yet Mount Somers/Te Kieke was named after Thomas Somers Cox, who was a bank roller for the Canterbury Association, in 1849.

Tripp took over Mt Somers station in 1861, then sold it to his

brother-in-law Charles Percy Cox, who started quarrying about 1865.

The station was then sold to A. E. Peache who constructed the lime quarry we see today. Peache was 22 when he arrived in New Zealand in 1875 and died in 1906.

Mt Somers limestone was highly valued and considered superior to the well-known Oamaru stone. But it was further to transport. Even

so, limestone blocks were sent to Melbourne to build their cathedral, as well as used for parts of the cathedrals in Christchurch.

Lime kilns were built in 1888 and the station remained with Peache’s wife after he died, but was then sold in 1968 to Bob Burnett of Burnett Motors. In the 1970s much of the land was retired to be part of the national conservation estate.

Burnett sold two-thirds of the station to Mark and Jo Acland in 1983 who then purchased the remainder in 2002 from the Burnett estate.

On site Although the weather was in a clearing southerly wet mode when we visited, participants enjoyed visiting the historical site and looked around the 1872 limestone cottage, which was restored in 1972 by the

Mt Somers Historical Society and friends.

The limestone at the site is about 23 million years old. The sculptors were impressed to make a personal connection with the site of their materials, and to also reflect that every time they worked the stone they were being surrounded by 23-million-year-old material. It is compelling to think that the dust,

he basalt, commonly known as bluestone, that is used for sculpting is 2.5 million-yearold Timaru basalt.

This also crops out at Geraldine and represents the last period of active volcanism in the South

Island. The basalt lava flows at Timaru covers 130km2 and at Geraldine, 12km2.

Stone symposium sculptors are using both types of stone depending on their needs and preferences.

A

t about 23-28 million years old, the limestone used for carving was formed in warm shallow seas.

It is made up of the disintegrated remains of shellfish, bryozoans and other marine life.

This was the time of maximum

submersion of the Zealandian continent.

The limestone is up to 90 per cent calcium carbonate and is interbedded with basaltic volcanic lava.

It has been folded, faulted and uplifted from the sea floor.

The limestone they are sculpting represents a geological time in which there was very little land.

The limestone formed on the sea floor over a very long period of time and across a large geographic area covering most of the submerged continent of what was then Zea-

landia, long before being uplifted (beginning 5 million years ago) and then eroded into our present day topography. This process is still active today as shown by the severe damage to the lime kilns in the Darfield earthquake of September 2010.

At the domain With light rain still falling, the party left the quarry and made

their way to Staveley village where a short visit to the historic museum was made welcoming, by a brief talk about the area and museum by Alan Totty.

The museum is full of local geological materials as well as the local social history of the area.

It is open on Sunday afternoons during the summertime, and a good place to put on your must-see

During the period of the First World War, 1914 to 1915, many men from the Ashburton District signed up to fight for the Empire against the German army. Many did not return — almost 450 from Ashburton were killed. The first Ashburton men were killed on April 25, 1915 — the first Anzac Day. Ashburton philanthropist and patriot Frederick Ferriman presented a special flag and a flagpole to the families of those men.

The Ashburton Museum with the assistance of the Rotary Club of Ashburton Plains, has erected in front of the Museum one of the original Ferriman flagpoles, and on the centennial of the death of each Ashburton soldier will fly a replica flag. An original flag is on display in the Museum.

travel map.

Ashburton Museum staff were thrilled to be able to share information and stories with the stone sculptors and learn from them. We are looking forward to seeing their work progress and to their next symposium.

Our party arrived back at the Ashburton Domain at 10.55am just in time for the school children from

the Mt Somers Springburn School, ironically, to visit the sculptors.

The Mount Somers Limestone and Timaru Bluestone being worked by the sculptors is on public show at the Walnut Avenue/SH1 end of the Ashburton Domain.

It’s a great chance to see a new stage in many millions of years of history, and history in the making.

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The work will be hard, but it’s the kind of hard you choose for yourself.

Because this challenge was one of your own deciding, you’ll approach it with a glad heart and a willing hand.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): People will tell you that the past doesn’t matter anymore. Incorrect. It’s the foundation for what you’re building now.

Sift, sort and reframe it if you have to, in the name of self-empowerment.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’re willing to accept that you have to take on some of the dull or difficult work to better yourself. But does it all have to be dull or difficult? Of course not.

Get your fair share of fun in there.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Time to drop that person who makes you feel undeserving. You’re not doing anyone favours by feeling guilty for wanting to be your own person, live your own life and claim your birthright freedom.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’re in a mood to compartmentalise, to devote yourself entirely to what you’re involved with, no looking back (or sideways, or forward for that matter): With this attitude, you’ll be mightily productive.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): If you have the privilege of spending time with one who has not yet been moulded by society’s sense of right and wrong, its prejudices and manners, you will learn a lot. Under-8s can be great teachers.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The most fun you’ll have today will be in doing something you’re more or less awful at. There’s something about knowing it’s not going to be good that will set free the laughter of your soul.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): People can be unfair, selfserving and just plain strange in what they choose to acknowledge or ignore. If you’re not getting the validation you crave, maybe someone is threatened by your fabulousness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): If your relationship is a muscle group, you need to lift again and again to strengthen it. Tired of being empathetic? Set it down. Shake it off. Take a break before you go another round.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Hard work doesn’t always pay off the way to expect but it always pays off in some way. Character, self-esteem, the attainment of skills and relationships – it will come back to you in some way, believe it.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Spend as much time as you can with people who live the way you want to, who achieve the results you value and who make you feel good about what you offer. It’s a no-brainer, but it bears repeating.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Serenity and attachment won’t go together today. Bonding will involve friction. Accept that relationships are going to be emotionally taxing or opt for solitude.

Ronaldo in the money Cristiano Ronaldo has agreed to an incredible $381 million deal for life to stay at Real Madrid. The former Manchester United superstar will sign a new five-year contract worth an amazing $76m a season. It means the star striker could pay the wages of every player in the AFL (around $200m) and the NRL (around $110m) for a season and still have more than $50m left over. Ronaldo, 31, will still have a prohibitive $1.5 billion get-out clause in his contract if another team wanted to buy him.

Super Netball kicks off

Tinwald Cycling Club’s Ross Templeton, Paul Macfie and Kristine Marriott in action on Sunday.

Racing down to the wire A large field of riders competed in Tinwald Cycling Club’s graded scratch event around the Blackbridge block on Sunday.

A and B grades battled it out over a 60 kilometre course with plenty of attacks and chases to ensure an exciting finish in both races.

Michael Templeton had the final say in A grade, sprinting clear in the final stages to secure the victory, covering the distance in 83mins 33secs.

Tony Ward, who had been

busy throughout the race, took the second place spoils with Bailey O’Donnell hot on his tail in third.

The B grade was also decided right on the line as Matt Marshall drew on all of his experience to kick clear of the bunch in the closing stages and take the win, riding the course in 87mins 43secs.

Meanwhile, Glen Marshall finished strongly to take out second place, with Kristine Marriott producing one of her

trade mark powerful finishes to step onto the final podium spot.

After 40km of racing, only the width of a tyre separated the place getters in C grade.

Jamie Smitheram made the most of his first start of the season to see off the fast finishing Don Sutton to take the top honours and Don Morrison showed he is coming into some good form with a strong finish to claim third place.

The juniors and division two

contested a 20km handicap event.

Emma Begg dug deep in blustery conditions to hold all of the chasers at bay and claim the win.

Ethan Titheridge showed his strength to take second place and Oliver Davidson took the final podium spot, while Beth Begg took division two honours with Les Brown close behind in second.

Next week the club will travel to Methven to contest a 45km handicap event.

Hansen defends Kaino at lock decision

BY GREGOR PAUL The decision to start Jerome Kaino at lock in Chicago won’t go down as a bad experiment but it might be a while before it is tried again.

That’s more to do with the increased specialist options that the All Blacks now have rather than any misgivings about his

ability in a slightly unfamiliar position.

Brodie Retallick has rejoined the squad and is available to play against Italy if required.

There is also, having made a hugely promising début, more confidence that it wouldn’t be asking too much of Scott Barrett if he were to start.

Understandably, on the day

Pogba helps Man U beat Swansea P16

the All Blacks lost to Ireland for the first time in 111 years, it was easy to overlook the contribution the young Crusaders lock made when he came on shortly after halftime.

But his performance was outstanding – stealing a lineout within minutes of coming on and then scoring a try that showed awareness, agility and

great composure to reach out and twist over the line.

Sam Whitelock is tracking towards possibly being fit for the rematch in Dublin and while there is no word yet about when or if Luke Romano will re-join the tour, it’s unlikely that Kaino or any other loose forward will be pressed into service out of position.

Australia’s new domestic netball league will be known as Super Netball. The eight-team competition replaces the axed trans-Tasman ANZ Championship, with Australia and New Zealand starting standalone domestic leagues for 2017.

Three new teams will make their Australian netball debuts when round one kicks off on February 18 with three derbies. Netball Australia’s decision to lift import restrictions for the competition has allowed 16 international players from seven countries to find spots in squads.

Taumalolo over-used?

The Kiwis interchange strategy needs tweaking, because at the moment it isn’t working. The most glaring example is the over use of Jason Taumalolo, who has had (by far) the most minutes of any Kiwis middle player in the last two weeks.

The value of the bench is massively important in the modern game, and the forwards need to be rotated efficiently and effectively. The Kiwis brains trust of coach David Kidwell, along with assistants Justin Morgan and Willie Poching, have fallen down in that area so far.
