A court decision has resulted in the cancellation of after-ball parties at both Ashburton and Mt Hutt colleges at short notice, potentially putting young revellers at risk.

And staff at the community alcohol and drug service, who have successfully run both events for 17 are “gutted”, Acads manager Chris Clark said.

The service took on the challenge of running the functions to mitigate the risk of alcohol-related harm to students following the balls.

The objective was to provide them a safe place to celebrate in a well-supervised environment.

The parties were managed in line with an established set of rules, which allowed students just 20 minutes to get to the party venues, strictly limited the

amount of alcohol they could bring in and operated under a closed door policy.

Students we required to be dropped off at the venue within 20 minutes of the ball ending and either collected by designated parents or to use the courtesy buses provided by Acads.

“We’ve got better and better at doing it over the years,” Ms Clark said.

Students at both schools were told of the decision yesterday afternoon and parents were informed.

Christchurch police alcohol harm reduction leader Senior Sergeant Gordon Spite said the events constituted the offence of “use of unlicensed premises as a place of resort for the consumption of alcohol” under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act, in a letter sent to all Canterbury secondary school principals.

With roots stretching back to 1875, Heartland has a proud history of supporting small-to-medium sized businesses, farms and families in Canterbury.

It’s great to offer the people of Ashburton a local banking option that is 100% for New Zealand.

Under the Act it is illegal to organise, manage, sell tickets, charge an entry fee or provide security without a special licence to sell or supply alcohol.

However it is not possible to obtain a special licence for BYO alcohol.

Those breaking the law face a maximum fine of $20,000, and Acads cannot afford to take the risk of that, Ms Clark said.

Those attending such events also risk prosecution.

The decision has also closed the door on a valuable opportunity for Acads staff to educate students about the safe consumption of alcohol prior to the ball, for this year at least.

■ MIDDLE ROAD VANDALISM

Public help police apprehend youths

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton Police are urging residents to discreetly get photos and footage of vandals if they see them committing crimes around the town.

The advice comes following a spate of vandalism at the weekend where three youths were apprehended.

Sergeant Richard Scott said most people these days had cellphones with cameras, but they did not think to use them when witnessing crime in their neighbourhoods.

“If you can discreetly take photographs or video of what they are doing, these are like gold to us in an investigation,” Mr Scott said.

He said people also needed to phone the police immediately in the case of such crime being committed.

It was thanks to members of the public contacting police that the three youths had been able to have been apprehended in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The youths were allegedly responsible for a spate of vandalism in the town, involving graffiti and spray painting of fences, letterboxes, cars and footpaths, as well as smashed car windows, on Friday night and early Saturday morning.

The three alleged offenders, aged 13 to 16, would be subject to a Youth Aid process.

While just three had been identified, police had a further two to three suspects.

The group of youths were well known to police, and were a “mixture” of those who were new to town and those who had been here longer.

Senior sergeant Scott Banfield said last week that a number of young offenders who had recently moved into the district were believed to be behind a recent spike in dishonesty crime.

Among victims of the petty offending at the weekend was Shelly van Dijk on Middle Road. Her letterbox and fence were spray painted orange, and a telephone exchange box on the street was kicked loose.

She said the amount of vandalism in

the area was getting to be ridiculous, as it was not the first time hers and surrounding properties and street signs had been targeted. She and her husband had bolted in their letterbox as it had been targeted before.

Another victim was the Hit Play Oscar Programme, with one of the pro-

gramme’s vans which was parked on Middle Road, being tagged.

A Glassey Drive resident, who only wanted to be known as Jason, said he woke up to find his letterbox kicked in and large branches ripped off three trees.

“I’m pretty gutted that people have no respect for other people’s stuff,” he said.

Baby Henry Wilson timed his entry into the world perfectly.

Born at 8.30pm on Sunday, Henry made it in time to cap off Mother’s Day for Lisa Wilson.

He also fitted into dad Adam’s long-held plans for opening morning of the duck shooting season.

Mr Wilson even managed to get back to the maimai for a quick shoot on Sunday which was where he received word the baby was on the way.

The labour and delivery were straight forward and Henry weighed in at 8lb.

“He’s been very co-operative really,” Mrs Wilson said.

Henry is the couple’s second son and 21-monthold Ben met his little brother yesterday afternoon.

As for the duck shooting, Mr Wilson had a successful opening weekend.

“It was better than the past couple of years,” he said.

■ P CONTAMINATION

Check could avoid costly bill

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@the guardian.co.nz

Landlords are risking a huge clean-up bill if they don’t use police authorised vetting agencies to check tenants before handing over their house keys, says Ashburton police senior sergeant Scott Banfield.

There were a number of official agencies able to run background checks on tenants and taking that simple step could save headaches – and dollars – down the track, Mr Banfield said.

A potential tenant had to agree to a check, but if they objected, that would probably give the landlord the answer they’d been looking for anyway, he said.

“We don’t believe it’s unreason-

able for a landlord to ask if you have a criminal conviction history. Our message is, if it doesn’t feel good, don’t let it, don’t take a gamble.”

The checks were now even more important in light of the growing number of Ashburton rentals found to be contaminated by methamphetamine (P). In the two years he had been in charge of the Ashburton station, Mr Banfield said methamphetamine related issues had increased significantly.

“But even though we’re seeing a lot more, it’s really just the tip of the iceberg so property owners and tenants need to be very aware. The message we want to get out there to landlords is to

do your due diligence about who you have going in there.”

The clean-up cost of a contaminated property was high and a police check could have identified and avoided that risk, he said.

“It’s not that expensive to do the initial tests – if it’s negative, but it costs thousands of dollars if you have to clean a property up.”

Mr Banfield believes methamphetamine testing should go further than just rentals; it was a sensible and cheap option for anyone buying a house, and should be added to a check list along with inspection by a builder and obtaining a LIM. “Meth doesn’t pick a demographic group but in Ashburton, the people are the people we deal

with all the time. They’re often short-term tenants of properties.”

While landlords and letting agents might by-pass checks to ensure there was no loss of rental, the flip-side was finding that methamphetamine had been cooked or used in your property, and that could see weeks of lost rental while a costly clean-up was carried out, Mr Banfield said.

He wants real estate companies and letting agents to also have a higher level of awareness around the need to have properties tested.

In a town the size of Ashburton, landlords could usually find anecdotal information about potential tenants.

“It’s not hard, pick up the

phone, make a call, ask someone.”

Methamphetamine was a problem across New Zealand, and gangs were a big part of the distribution network. Ashburton was no different to the rest of the country.

“We’ve made good inroads into supply here but we’re not arrogant enough to say we’re going to stop this sort of crime but we’ll do everything we can to clean up Mid Canterbury; we want our pool to be clean.”

Methamphetamine was a nationwide problem, therefore, if there was a police operation in Auckland that had a positive effect on the supply of the drug around New Zealand, he said.

From P1 Acads staff now fear a return to the days of students running amok after the ball, putting themselves in harm’s way.

“Now we’ll have to go back to the drawing board and rethink our options,” Ms Clark said.

“This year parents will have to step up and take responsibility to make sure a high-risk event does not end in tragedy.”

Ashburton College acting principal Andrea Pearce said the decision was disappointing as the Acads-run party had proved successful for so many years, however the schools had no choice but to abide by the court ruling.

Mt Hutt College acting principal Kris Canham echoed the sentiment, saying the community both valued and trusted Acads staff to run safe after-ball functions.

The Mt Hutt College ball will be held later this month and the Ashburton College ball on June 1.

St John was alerted to the incident at 2.39pm and the woman was assessed as having sustained moderate injuries.

Car, motorcycle collide St John had also attended an incident earlier in the day, at 9.33am, on Pattons Road.

It was a motor vehicle accident between a car and a motorcycle, and one man was transported to Ashburton Hospital with moderate injuries.

Nature in her full glory captured on camera While most people were eating dinner or watching television on Sunday night, Maree Reveley was out in the back paddock gazing at the sky.

As darkness fell, photographer Maree was greeted to her own private display of the Aurora Australis framed above the Mt Somers farm’s irrigation pond.

The display lasted for about 30 minutes, she said, time enough for her to capture about 13 vertical images with her Canon EOS6D to create this spectacular

panorama. Viewed with the naked eye the display was impressive; but with the benefit of a camera lens it was stunning, she said.

■ MID CANTERBURY SCHOOLS

School transition made easy

BY RUBY HARFIELD

RUBY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Several Mid Canterbury Schools are helping make the step from preschool to primary school a little less daunting with programmes for four-year-olds.

Fairton School is one local school that has a preschool programme allowing all four-yearolds to visit the school once a week for up to a year.

Principal Rebekah Clement said the four-year-olds usually have lunch with the school students before going to the junior class for a story and heading to the library to borrow some books.

Their parents stay with them

and the children are able to take home some activities such as colouring and cutting which they put in a scrap book.

“They all look forward to that.”

The school does not have any four-year-olds in the programme at the moment but will be starting up again with three newcomers in a few weeks’ time.

The great thing about this programme is that the children get to know each other before they start school as well as the existing students and the teachers, she said.

“It’s about getting them used to the school.”

They get to know how the

school is structured including where the toilets are and how to sit on the mat.

“It’s important that they are able to do this.”

Having this prior knowledge and experience helps make the children more confident when they start school and makes the shift easier, she said.

“It just puts them a few steps ahead.”

The programme is also good for the parents because they get to know the teachers and it puts their minds at ease.

Hampstead School also has a number of different ways to get children ready for school including new entrant teacher

and assistant principal Barbara Shaw making herself known to local preschools and having the preschools come to Hampstead for visits.

Ms Shaw said she will visit local preschools a few times a year so the teachers and children know who she is.

During preschool visits to the school the children can talk to friends who are already fiveyears-old, visit the new entrant classroom and play in the playground.

About a month before starting school all four-year-olds also have to have four official visits to spend time in their new classroom.

Tau pleads guilty Ngapuhi leader Sonny Tau has admitted concocting a story with his daughter’s partner about who shot five protected wood pigeons (kereru) in Southland last year.

Tau pleaded not guilty, but after a sentencing indication hearing before Judge Mark Callaghan in the Invercargill District Court yesterday changed his plea to guilty. Tau was remanded to appear for final sentencing on all three charges on June 16 – one year to the day after the birds were discovered. Sentencing will be via audio visual link from Auckland District Court.

Peeper arrested Grey Lynn’s suspected tech-savvy peeping tom, who was reaching through open windows to film people, was caught overnight Sunday, police confirmed yesterday. Detective Senior Sergeant Marcia Murray said Avondale police arrested and charged a man “in relation to an incident in Grey Lynn around 2.30am yesterday, where a person was reported to be peering through the window of a house”.

In March, it was revealed a peeping Tom was reaching through open windows and film people. The man was understood to have images or film of several people on his cellphone.

Rules on trusts ‘could change’ Revenue Minister Michael Woodhouse has defended New Zealand’s tax system following disclosures from the Panama Papers – but disclosure rules on foreign trusts could change.

Mr Woodhouse said calls from Labour to ban foreign trusts altogether were misguided.

“A blanket ban could have unintended consequences and lead to banning other vehicles that op-

erate under the same principle.

“The real issue is around disclosure which is why we have appointed John Shewan to undertake an independent review of disclosure rules covering foreign trusts registered in New Zealand.

“We will wait and see what comes from that review, but the Government is open to changes that Mr Shewan may recommend around disclosure rule of

In brief Trapped in vehicle An injured man who spent the night trapped in a vehicle after it crashed down a bank has been rescued. The man, who is in his 50s, was discovered yesterday trapped in the vehicle in the Whanganui River Valley. He was found by family members who were searching for him.

A press release by the Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter said the man was a local of Jerusalem, a small settlement around 60km from Wanganui. The man was airlifted by the Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter to Whanganui Hospital in a stable condition.

Charge reduced A man due to stand trial this week for murdering a low-level North Canterbury drug dealer during a robbery gone wrong has pleaded guilty to manslaughter. As a jury selection panel gathered in the High Court at Christchurch yesterday, Shaun Murray Robert Innes, 39 pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of manslaughter. The charge of murder, and one of aggravated wounding, were dropped. Justice Cameron Mander convicted Innes of manslaughter and remanded him on continued electronicallymonitored bail to be sentenced on June 3.

A police spokesman said police were called to an address in Worcester Street early yesterday morning where it was reported a 51-yearold intoxicated man was in possession of a firearm. Police were able to subdue the man and he was arrested. He was due to appear in the Christchurch District Court on firearms offences.

Graves tampered with Wooden crosses marking the graves of 13 children have been tampered with at an Auckland cemetery. Staff at Waikumete Cemetery are concerned after old wooden marker crosses and cross fragments from the Children’s Sanctuary dating back 30 years were discovered last week discarded outside the burial area. Waikumete Cemetery manager Roscoe Webb said they appeared to be thrown on the ground. The crosses are small standard wooden memorial crosses and were placed at the West Auckland cemetery between 1985 and 2012. Mr Webb said they all appeared to have been gathered from across the Children’s Sanctuary which was formerly known as the Stillborn Sanctuary.

foreign trusts.” New Zealand had complied with every information request from its treaty partners to the standard set by the OECD, and $205 million had been invested since Budget 2012 to beefup compliance work by Inland Revenue.

Mr Woodhouse’s confidence in New Zealand’s oversight was not shared by United Future leader Peter Dunne, who was Minister of

Revenue from 2005 to 2013.

He said the Panama Papers revelations raised serious questions.

“I am especially concerned at the revelation that the numbers of foreign trusts established in New Zealand has gone up almost four-fold in the last decade.

“That explosion inevitably raises perceptions that New Zealand is being used a tax haven, and that is not good for our inter-

national reputation.” Mr Dunne said he could not recall receiving any advice from Inland Revenue that the foreign trust regime was a problem, or that New Zealand was becoming a tax haven.

“That concerns me too, in the light of current revelations. Was Inland Revenue not aware of what was going on, or did they genuinely perceive the issue to be unimportant?”

■ WHEELS WEEK

Motokhana a complete success

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

Sunshine, spectators and sheer numbers made the Ashburton Car Club’s annual Motokhana event on Sunday a hit.

The Motokhana, which was part of Wheels Week 2016, was held at the SprayMarks yard on Dobson Street.

Ashburton Car Club president Shayne Adams said the day was a complete success with more entries than usual and wonderful weather.

“It was absolutely perfect.

“I was very, very happy with it.”

There were 25 entries, all from Mid Canterbury apart from one who travelled from Christchurch, which was up from the usual amount of 12 to 18.

There were also 150 spectators who really enjoyed themselves, he said.

“People had a lot of fun.

That’s the whole idea of it.”

Malcolm Lovett in a Mit-

subishi Mirage came first with an overall time of 118.14 and Michael Lovett, also in a Mirage, came second with an overall time of 120.78.

Ben Lambert was not far behind in his Nissan Pulsar coming third with a time of 124.65.

This week will see the end of Wheels Week with two static displays on the East Street Green on Thursday and Friday and the AutoSparks Street Sprints, the Ashburton Car Club Twilight Autocross, the Ashburton Motorcycle Club Magical Mystery Motorcycle Misadventure Ride and the Patersons Funeral Services Wheel Chair Basketball game on Saturday.

On Sunday there will be the AutoSparks Street Sprint Finals, the SprayMarks Wheels Week Street Parade, the Big Toys for Big Boys Show and the Ashburton Aviation Museum’s static display.

The Ashburton Car Club’s annual Motokhana event was a hit with more than 20 entries.

■ UNITED STATES

America’s least wanted

BY DAVID WEIGEL In the end, it was the voters of Indiana last week who effectively gave the country the outcome that had loomed for months.

The 2016 election will likely put Hillary Clinton, who is disliked by a majority of voters, against Donald Trump, disliked by another and more intense majority of voters.

If the rise of Trump has no obvious precedent, neither does an election like this.

Clinton, whose buoyant favorable ratings in the State Department convinced some Democrats that she could win easily, is now viewed as unfavourably as George W. Bush was in his close 2004 re-election bid.

Trump is even less liked, with negative ratings among non-white voters not seen since the 1964 campaign of Barry Goldwater.

“In the history of polling, we’ve basically never had a candidate viewed negatively by half of the electorate,” wrote Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Nebraska, in a widely shared note that asked someone, anyone, to mount a third-party run.

“There are dumpster fires in my town more popular than these two ‘leaders’.”

You wouldn’t know it from talking to each candidates’ supporters, who see only one reality – they hate the other choice – and who seem oblivious that much of the nation is defining this election by watching with dismay and deciding whether to bother to participate.

“Everybody likes her,” said Pamela Hatwood, 51, a nurse on disability who was fanning herself with an extra Clinton sign in a sweltering gym in Indianapolis last week – one of many supporters who shrugged off questions about whether Clinton’s appeal was too narrow.

“I think she’s such a strong woman that people get afraid,” said Stephen Yanusheskhy, 40, a health-insurance salesman.

“I’m not worried about the polls.

“They’re good one week;

Hillary Clinton (above) and Donald Trump are battling for the votes of an American public that actively dislikes both of them.

PHOTOS AP

they’re bad the next week. I feel like they poll the people they want to get a certain result.

“But once she actually gets the nomination, people will come out in droves.

“You’ll see more involvement from the gay community, from women and from people of colour.”

A few hours later, up the highway in Fort Wayne, thousands of voters decided differently.

Yes, this was who they were: They were Trump voters.

And none of them could look around the room, an arena packed as if a top-40 band was playing it, and imagine that Trump was unpopular.

Corey Fuller, 41, voted for Barack Obama in 2008, one of

the optimists who helped him win Indiana.

“When he first announced, I kind of rolled my eyes, too,” Fuller admitted about Trump.

“But I got it soon enough.

“I don’t worry about him losing, but I worry about the establishment trying to steal it from him, and that’s sad.

“I joined the Republican Party this year for this.”

From the stage, Trump meandered his way toward a discussion of why he could win.

He has spoken more about poll numbers, in his set speeches, than any candidate in the same position.

He tends to focus on the numbers that show him competitive – and to ignore completely the ones that show him

to be the least-popular candidate to win a party nomination.

“I won every debate,” Trump said. “I started off at 4 [per cent], and they all said: ‘Well, that is his plateau. He won’t go higher.’

“The next week, I went to 8.

Then I went to 12. Then I went to 18. Then I went to 20.

“And every week, these idiots said, ‘That is his plateau!’ Then I went to 68!”

For many of those listening to him that day, the idea of Trump losing an election was preposterous.

Republicans who have nervously studied the party’s future worry that Trump is too alienating to women and non-white voters to even get close to victory.

Another untested theory is that his support can be so robust from white voters that he can capitalise on Clinton’s unfavourable numbers and win.

The last open election for the White House felt bitter at times. It was not half as bitter as this.

In exit polls from November 2008, just 24 per cent of voters said they would be “scared” if Barack Obama won the election; just 28 per cent said the same of his rival, Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

Both candidates were viewed favourably.

When asked how they would have voted had Clinton won the Democratic nomination, they said they would have picked her, by 11 points.

Clinton’s strategy assumes that she has lost voters’ esteem since then.

Even before the unexpectedly stiff challenge of Bernie Sanders the former secretary of state was building a campaign that could grind out majorities in swing states and maximise the growing nonwhite vote.

Eight years ago, both she and Obama campaigned on “clean coal”.

This year, famously, she has said that “we’ve got to move away from coal” and put “a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business” as the economy gets greener.

Up to 700 people have come forward claiming to be Prince’s half-sibling in a bid to secure a share of his lucrative estate.

As the Purple Rain singer left no will before his shock death last month, Harvey Morse, of Morse Genealogical Services, is currently trying to establish the legitimacy of the claims of each person who has come forward, with the late star’s £200 million estate set to be divided between his siblings. He explained to MailOnline: “Our phone has been ringing off the hook, I would say we have received between 600 and 700 calls. “They run the gamut, literally from ‘We lived in the same area so we must be related’, to ‘We have pictures of Prince at our family reunion’.” Minnesota law states that all siblings, irrespective of whether they are full or half, are entitled to an equal share of Prince’s estate.

Lauryn late for work again Musician Lauryn Hill says she will ‘make it up’ to fans angry that she arrived two hours late to an Atlanta concert and performed for fewer than 40 minutes.

Hill wrote on her Facebook page that she doesn’t show up to shows late because she doesn’t care, but because of the artistic process. “The challenge is aligning my energy with the time, taking something that isn’t easily classified or contained, and trying to make it available for others,” she said. Fans posted angry replies to the message. “Sorry, I’m not buying it. She’s consistently late or a noshow. My time is just as valuable as hers. I wish I could consistently show up to work late and still have my job support me,” wrote one.

Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne, one of the enduring couples in the hard-living world of heavy metal, have split. Celebrity news outlets E! News and Entertainment Tonight quoted unnamed sources as saying that the Osbournes were ending their marriage of more than 33 years. People magazine reported that the 67-year-old singer was moving out of their Los Angeles-area mansion. People said that the split was linked to Sharon’s suspicions he was having an affair. All three news outlets said that Ozzy, long notorious for his drug and alcohol use, had not had a relapse from his recent sobriety.

The Sun reported Sharon kicked Ozzy out over claims he was having an affair with a 45-year-old celebrity hairstylist.

Parties won’t stop, they’ll go underground Sue Newman

T

here are two red letter events on senior secondary students’ calendars – their school ball and the after-ball party.

This year secondary school students around the Ashburton District will be able to enjoy only one of those – the ball. A court decision, handed down earlier this year makes it clear that the rules around holding the after match function are sufficiently complex and restrictive that it’s forced traditional organisers to throw their hands up and say, enough.

And that one decision has changed the school ball environment entirely.

For years those events have been well planned, well managed and well controlled by organisations that have, along with parents and staff, carried out the job of supervisors. And yes, it’s inevitable there will always be problems in any situation where you have teenagers and alcohol, but the problems that may have occurred, occurred in a safe and well controlled situation.

Let’s not be naïve. There were still kids who tried to smuggle in more alcohol than allowed, there were still kids who managed to sneak more than a few between ball and party, but by and large the problems were minor and they were dealt with.

In the days before organised after-ball parties there were private parties across the district, in homes, sheds, halls and paddocks. Some were well organised, others were not, but in most cases kids were able to drink, largely without supervision and parents were left to clean up the mess the next day – broken kids, smashed cars, damaged property and God knows what else.

That one decision to declare illegal the traditional after-ball party will see the return of dozens of small parties, many of them unsupervised events. Judgement on the wisdom of that decision will come in the fall-out from these post-ball functions.

For Acads, the organisers of Ashburton’s event for many years, the decision to can the organised party is a disappointment.

They’ve worked hard to make it into an event that met the needs of kids to party and parents who wanted moderation. They’ve also used it as a forum to help students develop a healthy attitude towards alcohol.

That opportunity too, has gone.

It’s open slather.

China holds the key A

s one would expect a number of newsworthy events occurred while I was away in South Australia.

Before I get to that I must comment on the weather situation in South Australia.

Like many of us they have experienced warmer, drier conditions throughout autumn with all cattle I saw being supplementary fed and sheep surviving on dry remnants of pasture.

Their autumn rains have not yet eventuated and like many of our farmers the time when temperatures drop off severely, dictating pasture growth, is not far away.

While away I learned about the announcement of a removal of barriers to export chilled meat to China and this is an extremely positive development.

As highlighted by Special Agricultural Trade Envoy Mike Peterson, the Prime Minister’s timeframe maybe somewhat

optimistic but the significance should not be underestimated.

Chilled product, no matter where it is sold, is a higher value product.

As often said the future of New Zealand meat is reliant on marketing the cuts and by-products of the disassembled carcass in their highest possible form to the world’s wealthy consumers.

China is an enormous market, already consuming large quantities of our meat products.

While much of this product has been lower value, this opportunity for chilled product will assist in further increasing the range of higher value cuts

entering the Chinese market.

New Zealand meat companies’ marketing divisions will need to continue to grow their strategies and relationships to fully access the rewards this opportunity presents.

As expected New Zealand First and some private individuals have challenged the process Silver Fern Farms adopted when taking the Shanghai Maling proposal to its shareholders.

The company announced that a special meeting will be called to address the issue as requested by around 80 shareholders; one then asks when should it be?

Does the company wait until the Overseas Investment Office and Ministers deliver their decisions or should the company clarify their in-house process first?

One could say this is a chicken and egg situation but in my view it is important that the share-

holders’ issue around process is addressed.

Business process must be correct, and if some shareholders have doubts this must be addressed.

Once clarified either way, the shareholders can go forward towards an agreed goal.

To this end it will be vital for all shareholders to be engaged, within this issue lies the future of Silver Fern Farms going forward.

It will also have a large bearing on the Silver Fern Farms organisation of 2016 and beyond and its ability to maximise the aforementioned chilled opportunities in China.

The Shanghai Maling joint venture has huge potential, while also many unknowns and risk, but the key to its success will be strong, united farmer shareholders.

■ MERGER POSSIBLE

In brief

APN shares in trading halt Shares in APN News and Media, the Australian parent of New Zealand Herald publishers NZME, are in a trading halt pending the release of an announcement to the market.

Shares will resume trading at the start of normal trading on the ASX tomorrow – or when the announcement is released to market.

The Australian newspaper said Fairfax and APN had held talks about a possible merger of their New Zealand operations.

It said APN was expected to undertake a capital raising in excess of $A200 million in conjunction with a demerger.

APN shares last traded at 63 Australian cents on the ASX and have declined 30 per cent in the past 12 months.

They are also rated a ‘buy’.

Fairfax Media said yesterday that it has nothing to disclose about its New Zealand operations after The Australian newspaper reported it was considering an $A200 million spinoff of its New Zealand newspapers, maga-

zines, and digital business.

“Fairfax continues to explore options for all its businesses including Fairfax New Zealand, but at this time, there is nothing to disclose,” the Sydney-based company said in a statement, responding to media reports.

In February, the Australian media group reported a 4.2 per cent increase in first-half profit to $A26.3 million as revenue edged up 1.6 per cent to A$958 million.

The Australian newspaper said that a Fairfax spin-off could involve a demerger of shares to existing shareholders, an initial public offering, or a trade sale.

The move could be part of efforts to have the stock market put a higher value on the company, which it believes it deserves, the News Corp newspaper reported.

A demerged Fairfax New Zealand could end up footing it with APN News & Media on the NZX, with APN also contemplating a demerger of its New Zealand assets, most likely through a distribution of shares to existing investors.

Air New Zealand has agreed to settle a cargo cartel case in the United States for NZ$52 million.

The airline said it settled rather than take the risk of a potentially “very material commercial liability” by continuing to defend its position. There was no credible evidence that any Air New Zealand employee participated in any conspiracy, but the potential for an unexpected verdict was not an acceptable commercial risk for the airline,” said John Blair, Air New Zealand’s general counsel. - NZME

New streaming data fix Streaming video can be one of the biggest data hogs on your cellphone plan, which is a bummer when you’re on the road or away from home and feel a binge session coming on. Now Netflix has announced a sort of solution: subscribers will be able to adjust the quality of the video they watch to use as little – or as much – data as they want. The company first started testing this kind of feature in March on Android devices – a test that accidentally made it out into consumers’ hands for a brief period of time. Now, however, it is rolling out to mobile device users on iOS and Android devices. - NZME

What the other half buy A Hermes Birkin bag is the ultimate status symbol, carried only by a select group of A-listers.

As a Daily Mail investigation recently revealed, it is almost impossible for an ordinary woman to buy one, even if she can afford the $12,000-plus price.

With no waiting list, no ordering system and no way of knowing when the next bag will be available, the Birkin is so exclusive that only those who are deemed high-profile enough have a hope of snapping one up.

But handbags aren’t the only luxury product that money can’t buy.

Here, we reveal other treats available only to the lucky elite...

Bespoke jewellery is the only way to make sure your gems are unique - and celebrities have been turning to New York jeweller Jacob Arabo for decades.

Victoria Beckham has graced the red carpet in his $US1.1 million earrings, model Miranda Kerr frequently flaunts his $US350,000 emerald flower ring, and pop star Rihanna wowed at the 2014 Met Ball wearing his $US1 million 18-carat white gold choker necklace.

But not just anybody can get their hands on his jewellery – even if they’ve got the funds to copy their favourite celebrities.

Because Jacob, 50, only designs for VIPs. If you want to tell the time like a star, you need a RW Smith watch.

There’s just one problem: the coveted timepieces, made by award-winning watchmaker Roger Smith (a former repairman for Ratners), from the Isle of Man, cost more than most supercars –

The Gulfstream G650: Three-year waiting list for $57m plane. £100,000 to £500,000 – and they are impossible to get hold of.

Each watch takes 11 months to make and there is a four-year waiting list, with only VIPs able to skip to the front.

At present, about 50 people in the world own one.

Mr Smith’s corporate mantra is ‘No one makes fewer’.

In fact, these watches are so rare, you can’t even find them second-hand – only one has come up for sale in the past decade.

It went for £115,000.

You can’t simply book a table at 120-year-old Rao’s restaurant in New York – there hasn’t been one available in 38 years.

Even top food critics can’t get in: the last review of the Italian restaurant was more than 35 years ago (the critic raved about it).

Perhaps this privacy is why tiny Rao’s is a favourite among celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, Leon-

ardo DiCaprio, Madonna and Liza Minnelli.

Its 10 tables are ‘owned’ on a timeshare basis by their secretive but wealthy owners, and they pass on reservations to their A-list guests. When the Mail called Rao’s, an answering machine told us reservations were closed and it was pointless to leave a message as “we cannot honour them”.

In fact, the only way to get a glimpse inside is to watch the film The Wolf Of Wall Street – Rao’s is where amoral banker Leonardo DiCaprio takes his lawyer.

For the A-lister who likes to splurge, the G650 Gulfstream jet ticks all the boxes.

There are only 40 in the world, each costing $US57 million, and there’s a three-year waiting list with 160 VIP hopefuls on it, including chat show host Oprah Winfrey.

Only the creme de la creme get to the top.

MARKET REPORT Dairy Many dryland soils are now devoid of moisture and feed deficits in some areas are as bad as they were last year.

Demand for surplus feed has increased quickly as pasture shortages are exposed and managers look for feed before the winter brassica crops are utilised.

Surplus grains are available at prices that are the lowest seen for six years and dryland sheep and deer farmers are using this quality option to survive.

Irrigation continues to be used, even though it is May, and properties with water are enjoying good pasture growth rates with above average soil temperatures.

Cows are being dried off on BCS and calving dates, and pastures are being prepared for the winter cover targets, so quality and volume are supplied for the calving cows in the spring.

Fonterra shareholders fear the proposed governance changes may see a loss in voting power, as the company sells some of its Farm Source stores to release capital and drops one dryer from its Studholme expansion plans.

The global dairy market has also hit hard in Australia, as Fonterra follows the big Murray Goulburn downgrade, with a 50c/ kg ms drop of its own.

Fonterra also surprised the market by lifting the payout for NZ organic milk by $3.55 to $9.20/kg ms for next season, as this niche operation reveals the demand for product produced this way.

Global market news suggests Chinese demand is lifting and European supply is easing, but US production has grown by 1.8 per cent this year and their cows are producing with the highest per head levels since 2003.

Lamb At last, a movement by the big processors in lamb schedules as it appears the market can now sustain a lift.

Some price rises are being seen in the Chinese and Middle East markets as they realise shortages could arise. With low stocks demand is lifting for mutton as well.

Farmlands has announced there will be no rebate this year as farmers tighten their spending in response to poor returns from dairy and sheep meats.

Local trade lamb schedules are lifting and this has flowed into prices at the saleyards, although lack of surplus feed is restricting some managers from growing animals out to heavier weights.

Wool The single South Island wool auction last week saw prices gain a good lift, as the small offering including many previously passed lots, met strong demand on a falling currency.

Crossbred fleece prices rose by 3-5 per cent, second shear a bit less, and even lambs wool prices firmed after regular falls all year.

Next week’s North Island sale offerings are 50 per cent below the rostered amounts and these shortages are sure to help keep prices respectable.

Beef Another small lift in beef schedules this week, as shortages now appear likely and exporters report animals to fulfill chilled orders are hard to source.

The final calf sales have finished in Canterbury and Marlborough, and prices and quality offered have remained strong right until the end.

A rise last week in local trade schedules was not enough to lift prime steer prices at the saleyards. It appears the numbers of quality animals are just not around.

Deer No changes in venison schedules as yet, but shortages are sure to soon drive prices upward. Everyone in the sector hopes this demand does not make the product uncompetitive, as history has proven sustainable growth is the goal.

Dunedin hosts the annual Deer Conference this week, and with both products selling well and a well-constructed plan for the future, it is sure to be a buoyant affair.

Lincoln dairy farm reaching ‘phenomenal targets’

By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz

Dairy farmers were advised not to get hung up on farm working expenses (FWE) at the Lincoln University dairy demonstration farm open day, but instead to consider margin per hectare.

South Island Dairying Development Centre executive director Ron Pellow outlined how the demonstration farm was achieving higher feed conversion rates, and said they have increased their own conversion rates by 8 per cent.

Mr Pellow said the team was transitioning from being survival focused to being sustainable.

“How do we operate on an ongoing basis if we have lower payouts that many of us would have thought we were going to operate with?”

This season FWE on the demonstration farm were expected to be around $3.40 per kilogram of milksolids.

This is a further drop on the previous season of $3.87 and $4.28 in the 2013/14 season.

“It’s looking pretty healthy compared to where we’ve been in the past.”

The farm achieved the reduction by lowering imported feed, changing nitrogen fertiliser rates and running an efficient system.

Mr Pellow said the low-cost system ran on 3.5 cows per hectare with a lower amount of nitrogen

compared to where the farm was in the past.

Last season 300kg of dry matter was fed to the cows before they were wintered off, but this year just 126kg was fed – but milk production has not decreased at 500kg/milksolids per cow.

“Those are phenomenal targets that we didn’t think we could achieve when we embarked on it.

We now have confidence (in the system) and want to share it.”

The farm had achieved higher production with 12 per cent fewer cows this season on 50 per cent less nitrogen and less than a third of grass silage previously used.

“That’s starting to drive efficiency into this business. The driver was some real conversion of pasture into milk that we haven’t seen or delivered in the past. What becomes really obvious is that we’ve increased pasture production with a whole lot less fertiliser and reduced the amount of imported feed but taken milk production up. That’s the kind of outcome we want to focus on.”

Mr Pellow said while there was a big drive on to increase pasture harvested, there was a greater opportunity in converting that increase into increasing the amount of milksolids sent out the farm gate.

“How do we grow more grass and turn more of it into milk? That dilution from pasture is where we can get some efficiency gains.”

H&S: Don’t sweat the small stuff

By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz

WorkSafe Canterbury and West Coast assessment manager Dave Hulston told farmers at the Lincoln University Demonstration dairy farm field day last week that inspectors were not about making farmers’ lives difficult.

Farmers were advised not to get caught up “over the little stuff” when it comes to the new Health and Safety legislation, at the Lincoln University demonstration dairy farm field day.

WorkSafe’s Assessment Manager for Canterbury and the West Coast, Dave Hulston, said farmers didn’t need to record every little thing that happens on farms, but needed to be concerned with things that could seriously injure or kill people.

“That needs to be your focus and how you are going to manage those hazards.”

Mr Hulston said he understood when a WorkSafe inspector comes out to a farm there would always be a level of trepidation.

“But we are there to get you where you need to be. We are not there to make your life really difficult. We just want to make it a safe environment for everyone.”

He outlined some of the key concerns farmers had around the new Health and Safety Act, including contractors coming on to farms.

“If they are lawfully there to do work on your farm you need to look after their health and safety.

By the same token they also have a responsibility for their health and safety, so they need to talk to you as well.”

If a farmer contracts someone to come on to the farm with their equipment, the contractor has a responsibility to make sure they are safe, he said.

“But you need to be at a comfortable level and talk to them about it before they arrive.”

Mr Hulston said there needed to be a good understanding be-

tween the parties at a workplace and advised farmers not to carry health and safety management just in their heads.

“The problem is if they are not there and new people come in – that information doesn’t get passed on. Even though there is no legal requirement for everything to be documented, if it isn’t then there will probably be something in your system missing.”

One farmer questioned health and safety requirements when an owner of a farm leases it out.

Mr Huston said both parties had a responsibility. “You should be sitting down with them and saying these are particular aspects of this property that pose a risk in this environment.”

Another dairy farmer asked about the requirements around tanker drivers entering properties at odd hours, saying it was difficult to meet with the drivers at all hours of the day and night to advise them of health and safety issues.

Mr Huston advised the farmer to ring the milk company the tanker driver works for.

“You need to share particular issues your people are going to have coming on to the farm and then it’s their responsibility to talk to their tanker drivers. If things do change you need to also tell the company about the changes.”

South Island Dairying Development Centre executive director Ron Pellow said health and safety was not about detailed plans and procedures that were glossy but ignored.

“We actually want a culture of awareness and a response that continually makes sure that everyone gets home safe every night.”

The cycling craze began 200 years ago

By Tanya Zoe RoBinson

I

t’s Wheels Week in Ashburton, so perfect timing to take a wheeled theme for this week’s heritage story.

Cycling is huge news these days. It seems that week-by-week the number of people out on their bikes either racing, touring or leisure cycling is growing. From little children with their training wheels, to the ever-present MAMILs (those Middle Aged Men in Lycra) it seems everyone is enjoying riding bicycles.

Yet it’s not the first time that cycling has been widely popular. In many ways today’s popularity is just another phase of a craze that began nearly 200 years ago.

The first commercially successful bicycles were patented in 1818. Those early designs were little more than scooters, without pedals, and propelled by a walking motion. Although several thousand were built and used, they caused so many accidents that many towns banned their use.

It wasn’t until the 1860s that bicycles in the form we know today became standard, with pedal propulsion. Pedals on those first bicycles were mounted to the front wheel hub, making it difficult to pedal the wheel that was also used for steering. The rigid frame and iron-banded wheels gave a bone-shaking ride, ensuring those early bicycles were soon known as boneshakers.

The desire for higher speeds led to a greatly increased front wheel size. For a brief time interest segued towards the large-wheeled penny farthing, which held sway during the 1870s to1880s.

The safety bicycle It wasn’t long before the safety bicycle was invented. It featured equal-sized wheels, a steerable

Now, steering, safety, speed and relative comfort came together in a combination that remains the most popular configuration today.

The safety bicycle was arguably the most important development in the history of cycling. It helped build public perception of cycling. With widespread use the bicycle became an everyday transport option.

No longer were bicycles just a dangerous machine used mainly by young sporting men. Popularity soared and bicycles became popular for everyone. Important-

ly, women could also enjoy this new means of locomotion.

Cycling for women From the mid-1890s, cycling became a popular and acceptable activity for women, reflective of their growing emancipation. Even women’s fashions were influenced, with freer dress designs made especially for bike riding.

A 1903 portrait of lady cyclist Ruby Holly Alma Breach (later Sinclair) is on exhibition at the Ashburton Museum. Known as Holly, she stands proudly alongside her bicycle, dressed in a neat skirt and blouse, with a panamastyle hat for sun protection.

Contrasting skirts and tops were a very fashionable combination that marked out the smart young

woman from the older, corseted generation.

A night ride Ashburton was at the forefront of the new craze for cycling.

Two cycling clubs, Tinwald and Ashburton, were active. Newspaper reports regularly reported on cycle races and competitors.

On June 22, 1888, the Ashburton Guardian described a club ride at night: “Quite an animated scene was presented opposite the Post Office last evening as the members of the Ashburton Cycling Club assembled, previous to starting for a moonlight run to Winchmore. A very creditable number of wheels turned out, considering that a ‘strong head wind was blowing, which made the outward run

rather stiff.

The mount was sounded a few minutes after seven, sub-Captain Brown leading the vanguard.

Winchmore was reached in an hour, the stiff nor’-west breeze making driving rather slow. After a few minutes spell a start was made for Ashburton, and with the wind and grade favourable, quick time was made, town being reached in forty minutes. No serious mishap occurred to mar the outing, which was much enjoyed by all who took part in it.”

While such a wild ride in the dark seems very daring, it was no doubt helped by the quality of roads. As the writer of The Wheel reported from Christchurch: “The roads to and round about Ashburton are all that could be desired, and a run down there can be looked forward to with pleasure.”

Hole-in-one double act

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

When Rakaia Golf Club member Lillian O’Hanlon learned her sister got a hole-in-one on the club’s course last week, she thought it was a joke.

“I thought they were teasing me,” O’Hanlon said.

She had just played a nine-hole tournament at the Rakaia Golf Club Acton Links course, alongside her sister Annette Maw. She was returning her clubs to her car in the carpark, when fellow tournament players told her the news.

The reason she thought they were joking was because she had herself got a hole-in-one on that same hole just 10 months earlier.

She thought the news-bearers were trying to stir up some sibling rivalry.

When she realised what they were saying was true, however, she was thrilled.

“I was absolutely rapt for her,” O’Hanlon said.

“But I think my first reaction was ‘You have to do better than me’,” O’Hanlon joked, referring

to the friendly rivalry between the pair.

Both sisters were playing on an 18 handicap on the day, and both sisters love their golf.

Maw was the first to get a holein-one at the number eight hole since her sister achieved the honour in June last year.

When O’Hanlon got her holein-one, she hit with a six iron, and the ball bounced and rolled straight into the hole.

“I don’t think it even touched the pin,” she said.

The layout of the hole had changed by the time Maw took aim during the tournament last Thursday.

“There’s a dirty great big bunker in the front, I used my five wood so it would get high up and over it.”

The ball bounced gently on the green and then rolled in, hitting the flag stick as it did so.

Drinks were on the Methven Golf Club member at the end of the tournament, but it only ended up costing her $10 thanks to a $100 hole-in-one bar tab sponsorship.

Fans partying hard The number of Leicester City fans attending local hospital emergency departments have doubled as they celebrate the side’s historic Premier League title. Leicester Royal Infirmary has asked people who do not need emergency care to call for healthcare advice instead following the influx of people arriving. On Twitter the hospital wrote that it was “feeling the effect” of the team’s celebrations after the Foxes beat Everton at home 3-1. The hospital said it had seen twice as many patients on Saturday night and Sunday morning than it normally would, with many suffering alcohol-related injuries.

Davis double hurts Spurs Two goals from Steven Davis gave Southampton a 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur who missed the chance to confirm a second-place finish in the Premier League yesterday. Less than 24 hours after watching Leicester City’s title celebrations, Spurs displayed familiar limitations as they again failed to kill off a team despite taking the lead after 15 minutes.

Brisbane forward Adam Blair is facing a one-match NRL ban after being charged with committing a chicken wing tackle during New Zealand’s Anzac Test defeat in Newcastle. Blair has been hit with a grade one dangerous contact charge by the judiciary after the incident in the second half of the Kiwis’ 16-0 loss last Friday. The tackle Blair has been cited for was on fellow Bronco Sam Thaiday, who emerged unharmed from the incident.

Durant fires for Thunder Kevin Durant went on a scoring spree that was spectacular, even by his standards. The four-time NBA scoring champion matched his career playoff high with 41 points as the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the San Antonio Spurs 111-97 yesterday to tie the Western Conference semi-final series 2-2. Durant had 29 points on 10-for-13 shooting in the second half. He scored 17 points in the fourth quarter, one more than the Spurs, and did it on 6-for-6 shooting.

In brief

■ SERIOUS SATIRE

Filly aimed at Melbourne The connections of Serious Satire have gone cold on a winter trip to Brisbane for the filly.

Trainer Stephen Marsh had given serious thought to the Queensland carnival for the David Paykel-bred and owned three-year-old, but will now wait for the spring to test her in Australia.

“I don’t think we’ll be going and she’ll have another race here in a Rating 75 mile at Te Rapa on the 21st before we put her out for another little spell,” he said.

“We’ll bring her back after that and ideally we will look at the Melbourne spring carnival with her and Sofia Rosa.”

Serious Satire won two of her first three starts, including the Gr. 3 Gold Trail Stakes, before she was given a break after jarring up when unplaced in the Gr.2 James & Annie Sarten Memorial.

Two trials fitted her for a recent return to racing in the Gr.3 Cambridge Breeders’ Stakes, but she was unplaced after being hampered at the start and

checked in the straight.

“She didn’t have any luck at all, but she’s come through the race well,” Marsh said.

Meanwhile, the stable have lost the services of another promising three-year-old in Per Incanto’s lightly-tried son Glorious Beijing, who is to continue his career in Hong Kong.

A winner at his summer debut, he then finished sixth at Hastings before he bounced back to beat all but The Justice League in the Gr.2 Wellington Guineas.

Glorious Beijing is raced by Kenneth Lau, who also has the well-performed Rocanto in the Marsh stable.

A stakes winner and twice Group One placed last season, the colt hasn’t raced since he finished runner-up at Trentham in January.

“He cut his leg while he was in his box. It’s not major and he’ll be back for the spring,” Marsh said.

Riverton mare Hayley Maree is preparing for a second North Island campaign. Fourth in both the Gr.1 Captain Cook Stakes and the Gr.2 Manawatu Challenge Stakes before Christmas, trainer Kelvin Tyler is keen on the James Bull Rangitikei Gold Cup at Awapuni on May 21 and the Listed Ag Challenge Stakes at Wanganui a fortnight later. - NZME

Best is yet to come Bjorn Baker is confident the winning run of his exciting NZ-bred filly Imposing Lass can continue. “I can promise you there is more to come for Imposing Lass,’’ the expatriate Kiwi trainer said. “She is a very game horse who makes her own luck out in front. But I can assure you she is not one-dimensional and she can definitely take a sit in her races if we want her to.”

Sprinter wins again Rising sprinting star Lincoln Road has picked up where he left off in Singapore. The New Zealandbred son of Swiss Ace was spelled after winning three consecutive races before Christmas and he successfully resumed at Kranji on Sunday night for trainer Shane Baertschiger. “He hit the line solidly and I’m sure he’ll improve further after that run,” winning rider John Powell said.

ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

10/5

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Fear of travel, called “hodophobia,” is common among homebodies and adventurers. The difference is that the adventurers who suffer from this phobia decide to go places in spite of their fear. That’s your category now.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): It is easier to be patient with the faults and imperfections of others when you recognise that you have your own tidy set and would benefit greatly from such courtesy.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Those who cannot distinguish need from greed are dangerous influences. Much trouble can be avoided by clinging to the virtues of humility, modesty and efficiency.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Someone is trying to connect heart and soul to you while being too unsure to connect via mobile phone. You’re so sensitive you can feel people thinking about you.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): If you wind up paying someone to fix your problem, try to get as much information and experience from the process as you can so you can be more self-sufficient the next time something like this comes up.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Long ago someone dear to you didn’t treat you with the respect you deserved.

You can be sure this person has regrets – not that it brings you satisfaction. (Well, maybe a little!)

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You use what you need and gladly give the rest to others. To you it’s not even generosity; it’s just keeping the resources flowing. It’s the kind of giving that comes at no loss to you.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You’re proud of a loved one – as proud as anyone could be in fact. Even so, you can’t claim the victory as your own. Focus on your own domain of excellence this afternoon.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Even when you’re doing everything possible to make your dream happen – dreams take time to come together. So if you haven’t started, get started immediately!

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): There will be surprising good fortune when you keep to your course, which includes doing the sometimes tedious and currently very unglamorous daily work.

Low-key efforts will pay off in exciting ways.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Instead of trying to solve the problem, you try to solve yourself.

Improvements in your all-around situation will render the original problem powerless over your experience.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Don’t conflate and confuse your suffering with creativity. The two are not intertwined; nor are they interchangeable. You’ll be far more prolific when you give up the habit or person that is causing you pain.

Team NZ takes New York regatta

BY DANA JOHANNSEN Team New Zealand has taken out the latest round of the America’s Cup World Series in New York, securing their win with a victory in the final race of the regatta.

While Emirates Team New Zealand held the overall lead in the series heading into the weekend, yesterday was their first event win since Gothenburg in Septem-

ber last year. The Kiwi syndicate’s hold on the series has been built on consistent results and limiting their errors and that proved to be the key to their success at the tricky New York venue.

Team New Zealand finished in the top three in all three races yesterday, clinching the title with a win in the final race of the day.

They finished just two points ahead of Oracle Team USA, while

Team France, led by Franck Cammas claimed their first podium spot of the series with a third placing overall.

Team NZ skipper Glenn Ashby said the challenging conditions in New York, where the strong current from the Hudson River and swirling winds wreaked havoc on the fleet, tested the resilience of the team.

“This was a day where it was im-

portant to keep your cool and stay focused. Never giving up was the key,” he said.

Artemis, who won the last leg in Oman, won the opening race of the day ahead of Ben Ainslie Racing and Team NZ, who were neck and neck down the final run, but the Swedish team’s hopes of claiming back-to-back series wins sunk in the second race, when they finished at the back of the fleet.

Race two was won by Team France, who shook up the leaderboard with their first race win of the series.

Needing to deliver a top two placing to secure the win, Team NZ responded to the pressure, taking out the top spot following a tight battle with Oracle and Dean Barker’s Team Japan through the early stages of the final race.
