Dropping levels in the well that keeps the Mayfield village in water can be blamed on mass irrigation across the Ashburton District says water activist Jen Branje.

The village well was drilled about four years ago and even though this taps into an aquifer 118 metres below ground, it is running dry and the Ashburton District Council plans to move a water treatment plant into the village to treat creek water for household supply.

As much as she’s angered by the third world aspect of using creek water for

household supplies, Branje said the real issue comes down to the over allocation of the district’s water.

“There’s mass irrigation all around the district and people are drinking out of stock drains. People are just not getting the bigger picture here. Irrigators are going full tit when we know Canterbury’s ground water is at very, very low levels. How long can this go on?”

A review of consent limits was desperately needed, she said.

“We need to rip this apart and start again. There’s no way we can carry on like this.”

The other choice was to back away,

say okay, say to hell with it and let the district make a dog’s breakfast of its underground water, leaving the next generation to sort it out rather than having the courage to step in now and say – enough, Branje said.

She believes the supply issues facing Mayfield will be just the tip of the iceberg for rural communities and suggests Montalto and Mt Somers will be the next villages facing water supply problems.

Desire for awards leads to Dux success

By Noah Graham

Noah.g@theguardiaN.co.Nz

A desire for just one more award led Katie Hill to success as she was celebrated as Ashburton College’s top student at the Year 13 prizegiving on Monday night.

The 18-year-old was presented with the 2016 Dux award in front of more than 400 friends, family and teachers at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre and held back tears of pride, shock and joy.

bachelor of arts in history, drama and english.

Sarah Tiffen was awarded the 2016 Proxime Accessit (runnerup to dux) award along with 10 other prizes and scholarships.

Tiffen thanked her friends and family who always supported her.

“My family has always been around to help,” she said.

Lucy Clough also walked away with a cluster of awards and is the first student to be awarded the NBS Ashburton

Hill was happy and surprised with winning the award and even though there were times when the workload was tough to balance, it was all worth it.

After she got her first award she could not stop and needed “just one more”, she said.

Along with Dux, Hill celebrated her success with a myriad of other awards and scholarships which she could barely hold with both arms.

The Ashburton River is benefiting from low demand for irrigation water and the temporary closure of the Highbank Power Station.

The hydro-generation power station is closed for maintenance until March and irrigators are not fully using their consented water-takes from the Rangitata River, so about 10 cumecs is being spilled into the north and south branches of the Ashburton River.

Rangitata Diversion Race Management Ltd chief executive Ben Curry said there had been a slow uptake of water across the irrigation schemes it supplied.

“Normally in the first week of November we would be delivering all our consented take from the Rangitata to the irrigation schemes. For the last month there has been very low demand because of the rain.”

inner xtra low during October, more closer to the foothills, and about 10mm has fallen so far in November. Rainfall for the year to date sits around 500mm.

Curry said the RDR had instead been supplying water to the Rangitata South Irrigation Scheme, through a water swap arrangement. It was using the water to fill its giant storage ponds near Geraldine.

He said the power station was not using water to generate electricity because of the maintenance work so there was more than normal available. That water had been spilled into the Ashburton River for the past six weeks, resulting in flows of around 30 cumecs at the State Highway 1 bridge, compared to about 10 cumecs at the start of October.

However a few days of hot weather could raise irrigation demand.

Curry said that was why the RDR had applied for consent to build its own mega storage lake at Klondyke. Around 90 people have made submissions on the resource application, which is likely to be heard early next year.

He said nearly all farmers were making wise decisions about when to irrigate, taking into account soil moisture and weather forecasts. As part of compulsory farm environment plans, farmers must now justify their decision to irrigate.

“There is no doubt the decision about when to irrigate has affected water-takes.”

Curry said spray irrigation had also helped farmers irrigate more efficiently.

“We have seen a massive decline in the amount of water irrigators have used season on season for 10 years, to the point where they are using in an average season 40 per cent less water than when they were on borderdyke irrigation.”

Jerseys a family passion, business

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

To townies, Jersey cows with their big, brown eyes are cute; to Mid Canterbury farmer Peter Gilbert they are a family passion and business.

The Gilberts run a 700-cow dairy farm at Winchmore and their Jersey herd has been carefully bred over five generations of the farming family. Glenalla Jerseys was started in the 1900s and Peter is the fourth generation to continue the breeding stud; sons Nick, Michael and Luke are following the family trend.

Nine of the best animals will be at the Canterbury A&P Show this week, firstly to impress judges in the cattle showing classes and then on display to the public, including thousands of citydwellers who fall in love with the breed.

Gilbert said his Jerseys had been described as both beautiful and cute by city fans.

They are, of course, his favourite cattle breed – he appreciates their friendly, easy-going natures

and easy handling at calving.

The nine at the show include seven milkers and two yearlings and the Gilberts are hoping their pedigree stock will achieve the right balance and body shape, and udders, to impress the judges. More than 740 cattle will be judged over several days.

The family has been keeping a close eye on the cattle since arriving at the showgrounds on Sunday. Yesterday was spent washing and clipping the animals, and the milkers still needed to be milked.

Gilbert has been an entrant in the cattle classes since 1978 but is more than a competitor. He joined the committee that organises the huge agricultural event in 2002 and this year is senior vice-president. Next year he will hold the top job.

His official duties this year include dealing with judges and stewards, and handing out lots of ribbons.

The show starts today and around 100,000 people are expected to visit over the course of the three days.

Right - Anne and Peter Gilbert keep a close on their prized Jerseys for the duration of the Canterbury A&P Show.

Vehicles collide A car crash on Monday night brought emergency services out towards Rakaia. St John ambulance services were alerted by police communications to a two vehicle crash on the Rakaia Highway and Winchmore Dromore Road just before 5pm. One ambulance attended however, there were only minor injuries and no one involved in the crash was transported to a hospital.

While Tarryn will be involved in the business, she hopes to be able to keep links with her teaching career, possibly as a reading tutor. She’s also mum to Jesse, 3, and Tyler, 7, and knows she’ll now be juggling several careers.

For Peter and Marilyn, selling their store was like selling a member of their family. They’ve lived the business for the past eight years and have made many

changes along the way. Selling to the right people was key for them.

“We want to be able to walk back into the store and see that it’s going well. It’s been our baby,” Peter said.

They won’t be rushing back into the workforce, planning to take a long holiday first, play more golf and visit their children in Canada.

On the way they plan to satisfy another dream, to spend a few days at the British Golf Open.

Their future won’t include supermarkets, although they plan to stay around Ashburton.

“We’ve done our grocery stint,” Marilyn said.

“It was a challenge, that’s what we wanted. It’s been a huge learning curve and so many things have changed over eight years.

“We’ve gone from no refrigerated produce to everything refrigerated and we stock a much wider range of products now – including meat.”

‘We’re sucking the district dry’ From P1 Mayfield resident John Moore agrees that over allocation is the bogey behind Mayfield’s water woes.

He paid for the Mayfield bore that was later bought by the Ashburton District Council.

And he knows that when the first water flowed, that the aq-

In brief

■ NETHERBY FOUR SQUARE

There’s a changing of the guard under way at Netherby Four Square as Peter and Marilyn Walker pack up and move on from the business that has been their lives for the past eight years.

The Walkers arrived as new chums in the grocery game and they’re departing with a huge stack of knowledge, dozens of new friends among their many customers and the satisfaction of knowing they made the right career switch from teaching and refrigeration industry into retail food.

And that experience makes them the perfect tutors for the store’s new owners Tarryn and Shaun McFadden. They too are newcomers to the supermarket industry. Like Marilyn, Tarryn is a teacher while Shaun’s background is in stores supplies. He’s always nurtured a dream to own a supermarket and the couple decided it was a case of now or never. They passed the first hurdle, achieving Foodstuffs approval and then began the search for the right store.

Netherby ticked all the boxes.

They’ll have two weeks of total immersion in the business with the Walkers by their side and then they’ll be flying solo, but even then Shaun admits they’ll be looking to their experienced staff to answer questions.

They’re excited about their new business, looking forward to meeting the store’s regular customers and say they already feel part of the Four Square fam-

uifer was solid. The problem was simple – too many people taking too much water, he said.

“No matter where you go everyone is short of water.

“They’ve been robbing it blind; they’ve sucked too much out.”

Moore says most residents don’t have a problem with

their supply being taken from a creek, treated and then pumped to their homes. The New Zealand drinking water standards take care of the quality and ensured there would be no health risks, he said.

And he agrees that a long term solution needs to be found.

Rakaia School can seek shelter easily after a generous donation.

The school was given more than $10,000 by Trust Aoraki Limited and replaced five of its shade sails in the last school holidays. Two of the shade sails that were replaced were more than 10 years old and the new sails protected 200 children and parents from the sun.

Rakaia School support group chairperson Rachel Hart said the sun sails would benefit everyone at the school and they were a necessity for the school. She said they were “blown away” by the donation. Hart thanked Trust Aoraki Limited and the patrons of the South Rakaia Hotel.

Body found A person was found dead in Auckland Domain yesterday. A member of the public found the body and alerted police about 3.45pm. Police said the body was in a bush area, between pathways on the lower side of the domain, heading towards the tennis centre.

It appeared the dead person had been rough sleeping, and had been there for several days at least. Police said the death was not considered to be suspicious. Police were in the process of identifying the deceased and informing next of kin.

OUR VIEW

How much water is too much water?

Sue Newman

SENIOR REPORTER

M

ayfield’s dwindling water supply is an issue with many sides.

In a first world country we have every right to expect a decent water supply, one that is high on quality and one that is guaranteed providing we’re reasonable with our use.

That’s not happening in Mayfield. Something’s gone wrong and the underground supply is almost exhausted.

The council has a simple solution – move a mobile treatment plant on site. This will take the closest available water supply, purify it with whatever is needed to ensure it meets New Zealand’s drinking water standards before pumping it to the village’s houses.

And that should be the end of the issue. But it’s not. Some people aren’t happy about drinking what they say is stock water. And it is – originally – but take the emotion out and the checks and balances are in place to ensure when the water hits the tap it’s as pure as water drawn from underground.

That the Mayfield bore has run dry is a major issue, not just for Mayfield but for the Ashburton District. This is telling us that we’re doing something wrong when it comes to how we’re using water.

Based on the knowledge of the day, consents were granted to farmers to draw water from deep underground to water paddocks. Irrigation has been a lifeblood for our district; without it we could well be an arid plain.

That irrigation has now become such a significant player in our district’s wealth that we’ve all but forgotten there’s inevitably a price to pay if you keep taking a resource ahead of nature’s ability to restock it.

Our underground aquifers are stressed, many of them are low and yet we keep drawing water up, out and pouring it on paddocks. We’re growing rich as a district, but we’re paying a price that could eventually see irrigators standing unused because there won’t be any water left.

Yes farmers measure the amount of water they use, but are they allowed to take too much? Unpalatable as it will be to many, perhaps it’s time we bit the bullet, looked at each consent granted with a view to reducing allocations to match the resource available.

■ UNITED STATES

Moment of truth Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton made their final pitches to an anxious nation yesterday, with Clinton seeking to strike a conciliatory, positive tone – and Trump, the underdog, warning of “disaster” if he were to lose.

On the last day of the presidential campaign, Clinton seemed to be a clear but not overwhelming favourite.

She held a small lead in national polls and in key battleground states.

Both candidates were hoping that these polls had missed something: Trump hoping a surge in white voters that would allow him to win the White House; Clinton hoping for a surge in Latino voters that would put the race away.

In Grand Rapids, Clinton talked about bringing the country together after the election was over.

“We’ve got to heal our country, or, as the Bible says, ‘repair the breach,’ because we have so much divisiveness right now,” she said.

“We’ve got to start listening to each other, respecting each other.”

Trump, on his final day, offered a starkly different message, full of dark warnings about what it would mean if he didn’t win.

And – if Trump could not win today – he said his long and surprising campaign had

been worthless for everyone involved.

“If we don’t win, I will consider this the single greatest waste of time, energy . . . and money,” Trump said during a campaign stop in Raleigh.

“If we don’t win, honestly, we’ve all wasted our time.”

Trump was scheduled to make stops in five states yesterday: Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Michigan.

He returned to themes fa-

miliar from his run to victory in the Republican primaries, attacking the news media as corrupt and protective of Clinton.

These were the last rallies for Trump, the last gatherings of an unexpected movement that had begun with his ride down the escalator at Trump Tower last summer.

The last crowds of Trump’s campaign were boisterous, reflecting the GOP nominee’s anger and magnifying it.

They broke into shouts aimed at Clinton: “Lock her up!”

In Raleigh, when Trump mentioned President Barack Obama, some yelled out the same for the president: “Lock him up!”

The atmosphere grew especially rowdy at Scranton, Pennsylvania, where shouts of “She’s a demon!” and “She’s a witch!” could be heard as Trump lambasted Clinton.

Obama made four stops – events that ended a chapter in his political career.

Obama had begun his rise to the White House by defeating Clinton, the clear favourite, in the 2008 Democratic primaries.

In making his last campaign appearances as president, he tried to help Clinton win the office he’d denied her eight years before.

“I am asking you to trust me on this one,” Obama said at a stop in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Later in the day, in the college town of Durham, New Hampshire, Obama grew reflective, noting it was his final solo rally as president.

“The world is watching us,” the president told thousands of cheering supporters who filled an arena at the University of New Hampshire.

“This is one of those moments,” Obama added.

“Don’t let it slip away.” - PA

Perth murder victim cut up with chainsaw Two drug dealers fatally bashed their friend and cut up his body with a chainsaw, with one then keeping the head in his car for days, a Perth jury was told.

Gary David Jackson, 51, is on trial accused of murdering

40-year-old Wade Cameron Dunn.

Prosecutor Laura Christian said in her opening address that the trio were all involved in drugs, and there was lots of lying, cheating and doublecrossing between them.

She said Dunn was lured to ahouse under the pretext of collecting a debt. But when Mr Dunn arrived, he was beaten to death with a metal pole and his body was kept in Jackson’s shed overnight.

Ms Christian said the victim

was later cut into pieces with a chainsaw and dumped in bushland.

Jackson also kept Mr Dunn’s head in his ute because he wanted a friend with a boat to get rid of it, but then someone noticed the smell.

What makes me tick?

Jennifer Aniston is at a career “crossroads”. The 47-year-old actress may have a huge selection of highly successful movies under her belt, as well as a long stint as Rachel Green in the sitcom Friends, but she has admitted she’s starting to get bored of her life in front of the cameras. She explained to Marie Claire magazine: “This is a time when I’m not completely sure what I’m doing. I’m at this sort of crossroads trying to figure out what inspires me deep in my core. What used to make me tick is not necessarily making me tick anymore ... The most challenging thing right now is trying to find what it is that makes my heart sing.”

No more gushy posts This season’s Bachelor NZ runner-up Nazanin Khanjani has proven unlucky in love for a second time. She and boyfriend of five months, digital marketing consultant Craig Sutherland, have broken up. The snap-happy pair, who have been together since July, documented their romance on social media, with regular gushing posts. Sutherland was there when Khanjani won her bout against Bella Henry five weeks ago. The pair have clocked up plenty of Air Points as they traversed the country to maintain their long distance relationship. Sutherland is based in Auckland, while Naz lives in Christchurch.

■ KIWISAVER

Case gets global attention

BY MATT NIPPERT The recent furore over KiwiSaver that saw banks and large financial institutions dump $109 million of controversial investments is drawing the attention of the international investment community.

Canada-based Sustainanalytics, a research firm employing 300 people in offices in 15 global financial centres, recently wrote up the episode in a research note for clients.

The note concluded: “The KiwiSaver case demonstrates the reputational and compliance risks that can stem from investments in controversial weapons companies [and] that some markets have yet to undergo a

full debate about controversial weapons investments.”

The Herald and RNZ revealed in August that KiwiSaver fund managers had invested $153m of client funds in stocks blacklisted by the government-run New Zealand Superannuation Fund.

These investments included $43.4m of potentially illegal investments in companies making weapons banned by New Zealand legislation.

Within two months $109m of identified controversial stocks had been dumped by KiwiSaver providers – including 99.9 per cent of investments in the banned weapon-makers – with attention turning how to manage exposure to such firms held indirectly through index investments.

“The KiwiSaver story was followed by public outcry, government inquiries, a complaint filed by Amnesty International, and an assessment by the police and the New Zealand Financial Markets Authority,” the note said.

“The KiwiSaver case illustrates

that investors can still be caught off guard by controversial weapons investments despite the widespread policy development that has occurred on this over the past 10 years, particularly in Europe.”

Citing the growing spread of international treaties and conventions banning various weapons, the report said international fund managers needed to be aware of the concerns of offshore clients.

The note warned of increasing debate over the murkier area of index investments, stating the KiwiSaver case showed that having indirect holdings was a poor defence to concerns of clients or possible legal consequences.

Figures released from Statistics NZ show superannuitants have experienced the highest inflation over the past 8 years, with their overall costs up 19 per cent on their typical spending habits.

While house ownership is higher for superannuitants and most have paid their mortgages, they typically spend more on insurance, council rates, and energy bills.

The rates on inflation they experience are double that of New Zealand’s highest spenders which are up 9.1 per cent.

New payments regime Reserve Bank deputy governor Grant Spencer is signalling a new supervision regime for the country’s payments system, two years after he first outlined concerns about the global infrastructure that facilitates wholesale market transactions. New Zealand’s legislation for overseeing the payments system is no longer fit for purpose and the Reserve Bank has developed a new framework to oversee the sector, which is still waiting for Cabinet approval, Spencer told the Payments NZ conference in Auckland.

Retirees hit hardest

Air New Zealand will be creating 45 new jobs in Christchurch after landing an agreement with Honeywell Aerospace to overhaul and repair auxiliary power units (APUs) at its local engineering and maintenance base.

The majority of the newly created jobs will be high-skilled engineering roles tasked with maintaining and repairing the APU 131-9A model for the Oceania region.

The contract, which spans eight years, will see Air New Zealand providing maintenance and repairs on the Honeywell auxiliary power units, which power aircraft while they are on the ground.

Air New Zealand will work on the APUs for its fleet of narrow body A320s as well as third party customers in the Asia Pacific region.

Bruce Parton, chief operations officer at Air New Zealand said the agreement is good news for the airline’s engineering business.

“Honeywell Aerospace is a major player in the airline components industry, supplying APUs to around 75 per cent of the world’s narrow body jet fleets.

“This agreement will allow us to continue to grow our component MRO business in Christchurch and remain competitive within the region,” he said.

Honeywell vice president for Asia Pacific, Brian Davis, says the company wants to tap into local talent and resources.

Air New Zealand has chosen the Honeywell APU 131-9A for its new fleet of A320neo aircraft rolling out in 2017, as well as retrofitting its existing A320 shorthaul fleet with the APU. - NZME

Boost for A2 Milk shares A2 Milk, which markets milk based on the supposed health benefits of the A2 milk protein, says first quarter sales met expectations with sales driven by growth in infant formula and milk.

The shares rose 4 per cent on the update.

The Auckland-based, Sydney-

headquartered company reported revenue of $112.5 million in the three months ended September 30.

Babidge also said there had been “continued and consistent growth” in consumer demand for its A2 Platinum infant formula.

A second major bank has lifted its fixed-term mortgage rate ahead of this week’s official cash rate announcement. BNZ yesterday announced it would increase its three-year fixed home-loan rate by 10 basis points to 4.59 per cent.

The increase follows hikes by the ASB on Friday to its three-, fourand five-year fixed-term mortgage rates. The increases come just a few days ahead of Thursday’s official cash rate announcement in which economists are widely expecting the Reserve Bank governor to cut the cash rate to a record low 1.75 per cent, from 2 per cent.

Compo for crushing A man whose arm was caught in a conveyor belt for about an hour has been awarded $52,000 compensation. According to an April Waipukurau District Court decision, Cody Mannell worked for agricultural fertiliser company Mainland Minerals North Island Limited.

Mannell was employed as a storeman at its Waipukurau facility and was operating a fertiliser sorting bin when the incident occurred in May 2015.

IT expert shortage New Zealand businesses and organisations are struggling to protect themselves from cyber attacks because of a shortage of IT professionals, Communications Minister Amy Adams says. “There is a growing global shortage of cyber security professionals. It’s estimated that there will be a global workforce shortfall of between one to two million positions by 2019,” Adams said yesterday.

“This shortage is limiting the ability of organisations to protect themselves from the increasing threat of cyber attacks. New Zealand is competing for talent in a global market.” To try to get New Zealand to create its own talent, the Government has established a “cyber security skills taskforce” to address the shortage of suitably qualified IT professionals. - NZME

Different ways with new spuds O

potatoes 2T extra virgin olive oil Black pepper 2T cider vinegar 1-2t flaked sea salt, for sprinkling 2T flat-leaf parsley, chopped

nce you’ve tasted your first new potato of the season, there’s no going back to the wrinkly old spuds languishing in the bag – except for fries of course.

New potatoes are pure heaven but after a few weeks, the pleasure of those first spuds starts to dwindle and just serving them hot with mint and butter starts to become a bit ordinary.

New spuds, however, can be served in endless ways in both salads and in combination with other ingredients to make tasty hot dishes.

■ Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F. ■ Boil the potatoes in salted water until knife-tender.

■ Drain. Put back in the pot to dry out a little. Tip on to a very large baking tray.

■ Using a tea towel gently crush each potato but leave them whole.

■ Drizzle them with the olive oil and season with pepper ■ Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are browned and crisp.

■ Remove from the oven and gently toss with the vinegar.

■ When all of the vinegar has been absorbed, sprinkle with sea salt and parsley.

Lemon and thyme new potatoes 600g new potatoes 1t black peppercorns 2 heads garlic, broken into cloves 1 lemon, sliced 3 lemon thyme sprigs, plus 1t picked leaves to serve 300ml good rapeseed oil ■ Heat oven to 180°C/160°C fan.

■ In a casserole dish, add the potatoes, peppercorns, garlic, lemon slices and thyme sprigs with 1t flaky sea salt, then pour over the oil.

■ Put the lid on and cook for 45 mins.

■ Once the potatoes are cooked, remove from the oven and leave to stand for 20 mins or so.

■ To serve, remove the potatoes and garlic cloves from the oil and scatter the thyme leaves on top.

Roasted new potatoes with feta

■ Preheat the oven to 180°C. ■ Toss the potatoes with olive oil.

■ Place in a roasting dish and sprinkle salt on top.

■ Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

■ Allow to cool for five minutes, then slice each potato halfway through the centre.

■ Divide the cheese between the potatoes and use to fill the cavity.

■ Top with onion marmalade, season and serve.

New potatoes with spinach and capers 500g new potatoes, halved 1T olive oil 2T butter 100g spinach 2T capers, drained and rinsed zest and juice 1/2 lemon

■ Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 mins until they are tender but still hold their shape ■ Drain the potatoes and allow to steam-dry.

■ Heat the oil with 1T of the butter in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat.

■ Once the butter is foaming, add the potatoes, cut-side down, and fry undisturbed for 5 mins until golden.

■ Add the remaining butter along with the spinach, capers, lemon zest and juice.

■ Stir everything together for a few minutes so that the potatoes are coated and the spinach has wilted.

■ Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

Baked new potatoes in browned lemon butter 650g new potatoes, washed 125g unsalted butter, diced Juice of 1/2 a lemon Salt and black pepper ■ Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F. ■ Add the potatoes to a pan, cover with water, bring to a boil then simmer for eight minutes.

■ Check them by piercing with a sharp knife: they need to be just firm, not soft or overcooked.

■ While the potatoes cook, add the butter to a saucepan and place over a medium heat.

■ As soon as you see a golden colour in the pan, tip the butter into a bowl to prevent over-cooking.

■ Add the lemon juice, being careful of any hot splashes.

■ When the potatoes are cooked, drain them, then add back to the pan.

■ Shake them around in the pan so

that they break up a little.

■ Add the bashed potatoes to a roasting tray, spoon over the browned lemon butter, sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.

■ Place them in the oven for 8-10 minutes so that they crisp a little and soak up the butter.

In brief Parker fight in Auckland Joseph Parker’s handlers are sufficiently confident of breaking even to announce Auckland’s Vector Arena as the venue for the heavyweight title fight against Andy Ruiz Jr on December 10, but they admit they are taking a huge risk. The fight will cost about $4 million to put on.

It will easily be the most expensive fight held in New Zealand.

Parker’s fight against Carlos Takam in May at Auckland’s Vodafone Events Centre cost $2.2 million to hold, Duco’s chief executive Martin Snedden said yesterday.

De Villiers still out South Africa coach Russell Domingo has ruled out the prospect of skipper AB de Villiers making a surprise return during the threetest series against Australia. De Villiers is sidelined with an elbow injury, but was hopeful of being fit to return for the day-night Test at Adelaide Oval, starting on November 24. But Domingo laughed off talk de Villiers would make a late dash to return in time for the third test.

■ SPEEDWAY

Season roars into action The summer speedway season is under way in Ashburton with the third meeting of the season held on Sunday.

Sixty cars and drivers from around the South Island lined up over a series of races at the Ashburton Speedway where cham-

pionship titles were at stake in 6 shooter, stock car and C grade categories.

Club president Graham Ackroyd said the high number of competitors indicated the season would be a good one, but said the challenge now was to encourage

more locals on to the track.

The most popular category are the mini-stocks and next month championship titles will be up for grabs in both the senior and youth grades.

Next year the speedway team plan to launch a publicity drive

with school children hoping to encourage youngsters and their families out to the track. By doing that a few new drivers might come through, Ackroyd said.

Action next fires up at the Ashburton Speedway track on December 4.

Supercars field languishing behind Red Bull There’s never been a gulf like it in Supercars history.

For the first time, Red Bull Racing’s lead in the teams championship stands at over 2000 points.

Jamie Whincup and Shane van Gisbergen’s relentless pursuit of the drivers crown has powered the already-dominant team to

new heights in 2016. The duo chalked up three one-two results in last weekend’s meet at Pukekohe Park, pushing the gap to the second-placed Holden Racing Team (HRT) to 2052 points.

Mark Winterbottom jokingly called the Red Bull pair “Nico and Lewis”, comparing them to Nico

Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton at all-conquering Formula One team Mercedes.

Another joke along pit lane is that Supercars organisers might offer to give the second-best team garage to “daylight” next year.

But rival drivers aren’t laughing at their dominance, and es-

pecially not the only man to beat Red Bull to a drivers title since 2010 - Mark Winterbottom.

He said everyone outside Red Bull had fallen short in 2016.

“Everyone’s got their story. We’ve all had issues. You can’t ‘what if’ or whatever. We haven’t been quick enough,” he said.

England brace for spin England could face a familiar trial by spin as they embark on their five-match Test series in India.

While England have picked a squad with subcontinental conditions in mind, with four frontline slow bowling options, they remain outclassed on paper by the hosts’ spin attack. Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid, Gareth Batty and Zafar Ansari have 46 Test caps between them – 32 of those belonging to Moeen – and, tellingly, have combined for only 120 wickets. That is 100 fewer than Ravi Ashwin alone.

Phoenix caught short Just as the Wellington Phoenix hit their straps they’re hammered again by the international window, but Roy Krishna is barely batting an eyelid. Five players won’t make the flight to Canberra for Saturday’s A-League game against Central Coast because they’re on All Whites duty on the same day, in a World Cup qualifying fixture against New Caledonia. It mirrors the opening round of the season when international duty depleted their stocks in a 1-0 loss to Melbourne City.

In brief Currie commits to Coast Braden Currie’s got a jump on his return to the Coast to Coast. The three time champion has called time on his triathlon aspirations after missing out on the New Zealand Olympic team. He’s committed to next year’s three discipline event from Kumara Beach to New Brighton. Currie says his big focus between now and race day will be getting his kayaking skills back up to speed.

- NZME

Forwards to front up The messages will be simple and clear when they come. They won’t be sugar-coated either, which is why the All Blacks’ forwards arrived in Rome with a collective sense of dread about their performance at Soldier Field being reviewed by the coaches. The forwards know what happened. They know they didn’t arrive with the right mental approach. “After a loss you try to learn as much as you can,” says Wyatt Crockett. “What went wrong, where were we lacking and I guess try to make some adjustments and improvements to our game and work on that during the week and hopefully we will see improvements in our game against Italy.” - NZME Burnside’s Angela Boyd in action at the Ashburton Domain during Town Senior’s 14-10 victory over Country.

Town takes bowling honours

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Canterbury Town took a clean sweep over their Country counterparts during Sunday’s Annual

Representative fixtures.

This year the senior and development ladies teams played at the Ashburton Domain, but home advantage for Country had

little effect as Town seniors and Town development both came away with 14-10 victories.

Meanwhile, the Town and Country senior and development men’s

teams were in action at Hornby, where Town seniors earned an 8-4 victory, and, after a 6-6 stalemate, Town development snuck the win on points differential.

Irish rugby team home to a heroes’ welcome Ireland’s rugby team has touched down in Dublin to a heroes’ welcome and a boost up the 2019 World Cup seedings.

Kiwi coach Joe Schmidt re-

neged on the normal alcohol ban to let his players celebrate their flight home from Chicago after the stunning defeat of the All Blacks. The leg-weary squad

then boarded a bus to go into a camp in Dublin to prepare for a test against Canada, a titanic re-match with the All Blacks the week after and then a final au-

tumn test against the Wallabies.

Ireland have jumped two places in the world rankings following their win. New Zealand remain in first, with England second.- NZME

England eye AB record New Zealand Rugby’s crash back towards reality following the loss to Ireland in Chicago could have a bitter sting still to come – Eddie Jones and England are lining up to take the All Blacks’ record for the longest winning streak in test history. If the men in white were to go through the Six Nations undefeated they would take the record off Steve Hansen’s team without the All Blacks even getting a chance to deny them the mark.

- NZME

Woodside a big loss The New Zealand Breakers have suffered a blow with American point guard Ben Woodside set to miss around two months of NBL action due to a foot injury.

Coach Paul Henare described the diagnosis of 6-8 week minimum recovery time as a major setback.

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): They are acting as though the situation calls for restraint. Not really. It’s just that no one is taking initiative. Get in there and make things memorable.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Many wonderful ideas started out as dreams. You’re familiar with this phenomenon; you’ve experienced it yourself, and you will again meet a prophecy, solution or generally actionable idea in dreamland.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You can’t stand the idea of “phoning it in”. If you don’t feel fully committed to the performance, you’ll take it as a sign you need to reach deeper and try harder.

You expect the same efforts from others.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Before you go into battle, ask yourself if it’s necessary or if you’ve merely gotten so used to struggling that you’ve made it your default. Stop fighting for freedom and start behaving as if you’re already free.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Sometimes your high expectations stop you from fully enjoying what is. Not today! As long as you remain open-minded, your projection of what might occur will only serve to make things more magical.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): This started last night. The ideas you went to sleep with threw a caucus in your head, and their decisions will make you a different person today, as evidenced by an unusual choice you make.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You know what it’s like to be your own worst enemy. In the past you inexplicably acted against your best interests, but now you seek victory over that part of yourself and your angels will win out.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Boredom isn’t just for spoiled kids and over-privileged inhabitants of First World countries. It’s actually a genuinely soulsucking danger that you should take rather seriously and pre-emptively defend against.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): As for the ones who act as though the rest of the world was born to serve them – no one benefits from this dynamic. Be bold. Burst that bubble. Draw the boundaries, and restore the balance.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Those in unconventional home situations often long for what they believe is normalcy, while the “normals” seek a life that defies tradition. Whichever category you’re in, stretch into the other.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Your relationship with time will be a focus. There’s this pull to do something different with your minutes, as you’d prefer them to feel like they are flowing instead of merely separating events.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The one you love will love you back, though perhaps not in the manner you would prefer. This is partly about selfishness and partly about misinformation. Don’t hint.

Just tell the other person what to do.

Second cocaine positive Ben Barba has been released from his playing contract by premiers Cronulla and faces a 12-match ban if and when he returns to the NRL in the wake of testing positive to cocaine. Sharks CEO Lyall Gorman said yesterday the club agreed to the fullback’s request to be released to address “significant personal issues”. The NRL confirmed the positive test to cocaine, returned days after Cronulla’s breakthrough grand final triumph last month, was Barba’s second positive sample under the NRL’s illicit drug testing programme.

Local riders getting among the medals Ashburton riders came away with a clutch of medals after the completion of last weekend’s FEI World Challenge Show in Ashburton.

Local star Lucinda Askin had to settle for third in the Mainland Coachwork Ltd FMG Young Rider, but the next day she rode away with two dress rugs from double wins.

Riding Portofino she had to work hard against five others in

the jump-off in the Paul Smith Earthmoving Horse Mini Prix to take the win by less than a second ahead of consistent performer Katie Meredith and Westgrove GNZ. Her second mount I.Q also had a win in the Carrfields Tony Archibald Memorial 1.20m Championship.

Local rider Jaimee Bird and Winrose Vergigo took out the opening round of the FEI World Challenge.

Along with Nicole White, Bird was the only other clear rider to take the same turn, but unfortunately it slightly unseated her and the couple of seconds it took her to regain composure cost her the win.

White now takes the precious lead coming into the final of the South Island competition.

Harry Feast couldn’t have asked for a better weekend with his team of young horses. No-

one else could match his four winning classes, but three young fillies took away double wins to cover most of the remaining series classes.

Steffi Whittaker gained her first FMG Young Rider win of her career with Ngahiwi Cruise, acing her jump-off. Being the only rider in the class still riding ponies she also won the Neumanns Tyre Services Equissage Pony Grand Prix with another double clear.

BY MICHAEL GUERIN Lazarus produced one of the greatest performances in New Zealand horse racing history to destroy his opponents in yesterday’s $750,000 New Zealand Trotting Cup. The four-year-old hot favourite thrashed New Zealand’s best pacers by 10 lengths, rewriting the record book in the process.

Not only was his margin the

biggest in the modern history of the race but his time of 3:53.1 took a staggering 1.5 seconds off the national record set just two years ago by his champion stablemate Adore Me. Lazarus was last season’s freakish three-year-old but few four-year-olds are asked to contest the Cup let alone win it.

None have won it so emphatically.

Trained by harness racing’s

Parker fight will be in Auckland P15

power couple of Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen, Lazarus was driven by Purdon and their win will not have gone down with TAB bookmakers.

They suggested in the hours leading up to the 3200m standing start thriller that a win for Lazarus could cost the TAB book on yesterday’s Addington meeting well over $1 million.

The ease of the performance and the time quickly raises ques-

tions over where Lazarus could one day potentially sit among the all-time greats of pacing.

He is set to return to Addington for the NZ Free-For-All on Friday before going to Auckland for the Cup at Alexandra Park on December 31.

Tiger Tara was a brave second for Ashburton driver Gerard O’Reilly yesterday, with the winner’s stablemate Titan Banner third.

Edberg keeps the faith Roger Federer has fallen outside the world’s top 10 for the first time since 2002 but he could still win another grand slam title, according to former world No.1 Stefan Edberg. While Andy Murray’s rise to world No.1 was the main talking point of yesterday’s new ATP rankings, 17-times major champion Federer’s slide to 16th was largely overlooked. “It becomes even tougher, he is not young any more but there is still hope. If there’s one who can do it, it’s Roger”, said Edberg.

What’s wrong? Everything Steve Smith has a clear idea of what Australia must improve to level their three-Test series against South Africa: everything. It was a first-innings collapse of 10-86 that changed the course of the first Test, which Australia lost by 177 runs at the WACA on Monday. But Smith noted that wasn’t the only concerning element about the defeat, which was Australia’s first loss in the opening Test of a home summer since 1988.

“Every aspect of the game needs some improvement.”

England could take ABs’ record P18 www.guardianonline.co.nz
