A group of offenders caught breaking into a Methven business are thought to have been carrying a firearm.

Businesses in Rakaia, Methven and Tinwald were broken into in recent days by thieves targeting tobacco products.

The Rakaia Four Square on Railway Terrace was hit in the early hours of Wednesday morning, followed by raids on the Methven Mobil Service Station and the town’s SuperValue Supermarket around 4am on Saturday.

In each case the offenders were specifically targeting cigarettes and tobacco.

One of the offenders responsible for the Methven burglaries presented a weapon, understood to have been a firearm, at a person who caught them in

the act. At about 2.30am on Monday the Rakaia Four Square shop on Elizabeth Avenue was entered by four men who gained access by smashing a glass door panel, but failed to open the tobacco cabinet, business owner Adrianne Cromie said.

They did, however, make off with confectionery, lighters and a charity box. It was the first time the business had been burgled in recent years.

“We thought we had it (the shop) secure, but obviously they found a way in,” Cromie said.

Two youths were arrested soon after the burglary and police are seeking two others in relation to the crime, Rakaiabased police constable Aaron Tapp said.

It was too early to determine whether the Rakaia incidents were connected,

or whether there was any relationship between them and similar offending in other parts of the district, Tapp said.

A number of Christchurch shops have also been targeted by tobacco thieves in recent weeks and police fear the most recent raids in Mid Canterbury could indicate offenders were setting their sights on rural townships.

Police are in no doubt the offending is linked to a growing black market for tobacco and have warned it is an offence to buy stolen tobacco products.

Tinwald SuperValue Supermarket coowner Paul Thompson knows the pain associated with such offending.

■ ASHBURTON INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL

New principal officially welcomed

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton Intermediate School’s new principal Brent Gray received a warm welcome yesterday.

The school’s 400 Year 7 and 8 students started Term 4 yesterday with a powhiri for Gray, who comes to the intermediate after leading Mt Somers Springburn School.

Gray and his family, including daughter Anna who is a student at the intermediate, were welcomed by deputy principal Judy Jemmett, who has been at the helm for a year since former principal Gavin Cooper departed.

Jemmett said the new principal would have a rewarding time, with excellent staff and wonderful students who achieved academically and culturally, as well as on the sporting and social stage.

Gray said it was a stunning welcome and he was excited by the opportunity to lead the school; though he confessed to a few nerves.

The powhiri was also to welcome five new students and a new teacher, Anna McCoubrey.

The last term is traditionally a busy term, as Year 8s depart, Year 7s prepare to step up and new students enrol.

Tobacco heists continue

Three alleged suspects outside one of the burglary sites.

From P1 His business was targeted in April, when offenders broke into the store and made off with thousands of dollars worth of tobacco products.

Thompson said rising tobacco prices will result in an increase in such offending.

“It can only get worse, the price of tobacco automatically rises every year in January,” he said.

“The black market is definitely a problem and there are people prepared to take the chance to get their hands on stolen cigarettes.”

While the recent raids have occurred when businesses have been closed, there’s no guarantee that will always be the case.

“Some shops have staff coming in very early – sooner or later someone is going to

get hurt or killed,” Thompson said.

He wants all retailers to report tobaccorelated crime to help police stamp it out.

“Not everybody reports what is being stolen, some don’t like to highlight the fact they’ve been broken into,” he said.

Security has been ramped up at the Tinwald supermarket since the raid and modifications have been made to the tobacco cabinet to make it more secure, Thompson said.

A police CIB team is investigating the crimes and officers want to hear from anyone who witnessed anything suspicious in the vicinity of the businesses, or saw an early model white Toyota Caldina in Methven at the time.

Fun events bring season to a close Mt Hutt skifield has wrapped up a cracker of a season with a fun weekend including its annual pond skim and bikini run.

Skifield manager James Urquhart said while winter staff would disperse following a farewell function on Sunday night, summer maintenance would keep other staff busy until Christmas.

The last day on the skifield on Sunday was jam-packed with action and activities. Around 60 people braved a cold water pool in the annual pond skim, which featured tricks, one foot action and back flips.

Staff members shaved their heads to raise $745 for Canteen and a bikini run for breast cancer raised awareness and a few eyebrows.

The skifield has donated more

than $10,000 to charities this winter, helped by donations from guests and staff.

Winter 2016 closed with snow falling but Urquhart said it had been a good season with super cheap earlybird passes enticing many people onto the mountain.

“We had a lot of people that we hadn’t seen in a while coming back, so that was good. And people were leaving the skifield with smiles, which is what it’s all about.”

He said the skifield’s corporate owners would decide later in the year if the earlybird passes would be repeated.

A highlight for him was the annual Peak to Pub race, in which contestants race from the top of the mountain to the Blue Pub in Methven.

These four took part in the bikini run, raising funds for breast cancer.

■ ASHBURTON BUILDING STATISTICS

Fewer houses, but they’re bigger

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Houses now being built in the Ashburton District are larger than those in many parts of New Zealand.

Figures released by Statistics New Zealand for the year to August 31 put the average size of

the district’s new homes at 194 square metres; the national average is 182 square metres.

While there are fewer houses being built today than at the building peak in the 1970s, houses today are much bigger.

In 1974 the average home built was 110 square metres.

Ashburton’s new homes have an average build price of $348,000 marginally more expensive than the national average, $346,000.

Over the 12 months to August 31, 205 new homes were built around the district. Those new houses had a total value of

$71,370 million. The cost per square metre to build in the Ashburton District is $1793, making it one of the cheapest places to build a new house in the South Island. The New Zealand average is $1906.

The most expensive place per square metre to build is in

Auckland’s Mt Albert, Mt Eden, Mt Roskill area, $2332. The South Island’s most expensive is Christchurch city, $2147 per square metre.

In terms of cost effectiveness, the cheapest place to build is Carterton, $1499 per square metre.

Students to benefit from scholarship

By Linda CLarke

Ashburton College social studies teacher Greta Hampton will have travelled further afield than her students over the school holidays.

She spent 12 days recently in Korea after being awarded a scholarship by the Asia New Zealand Foundation.

It was one of 15 scholarships awarded to Kiwi teachers; the group met up with other teachers from Australia for a workshop based in Seoul.

Hampton said it was a fascinating experience and she was mesmerised by the mix of modern and traditional cultures.

The workshop was to deepen teachers’ awareness, understanding and knowledge of South Korea so they could better equip their students with the knowledge and skills they’ll need in the future.

The teachers visited sites of historical, cultural and contemporary relevance, attended lectures about aspects of Korean culture and society and visited a local school and shared a meal with a host family.

The New Zealand teachers included teachers of social studies and history, as well as some Eng-

Dalziel holding the fort

By Sue newman

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Until the new crop of Ashburton District Councillors and their mayor are officially sworn into office on October 26, the council’s chief executive Andrew Dalziel is the man in the hot seat.

He and his staff will be working with a very different team of councillors and already plans are in place to ensure the council team is up to speed with current issues so they will hit the ground running when the business of council resumes next month.

Yesterday was a tough day at the office for Dalziel as he ticked off the return of council property

In brief

Andrew Dalziel from defeated mayor Angus McKay and the six councillors who retired at the election. It was also a day when the mayor’s office was readied for its new occupant mayor elect Donna Favel.

First up next week for the new council team will be a two-day induction run by Dalziel.

“This is where I stand up and say welcome to the Ashburton District Council and this is what the council is all about.”

The induction will involve bringing councillors up to speed with big projects that are in the pipeline and will also involve a number of professionals, such as lawyers, speaking on various aspects of the job, Dalziel said.

“I’ll also be asking them what they want to achieve during the term, about the big issues and getting them to think about committee meetings and how

often they should be attending and I’d expect the new mayor to be having conversations with councillors before this around committee chairs and the deputy mayor,” he said.

Mayors generally talk with councillors about their hopes, aspirations and interests and from those conversations choose who fills key council roles. Those roles are generally reviewed part way through the council term.

The mayor has the power to appoint councillors to key positions without consulting others and Dalziel said his role was only to guide the mayor in what was and was not workable.

After a judgealone trial before Judge Gary MacAskill at Christchurch District Court in 2014 and 2015, Henderson was convicted on seven counts of aiding and abetting Dweller Ltd to knowingly apply deemed PAYE deductions for purposes other than payment to the IRD. - NZME

Burglars with manners Two would-be burglars of a Christchurch pub apologised to a cleaner and fled the building empty-handed in the early hours of yesterday morning.

After apologising, they fled the scene.

■ ST STEPHEN’S CHURCH

Reopening starts celebratory week For members of St Stephen’s parish this is a week of celebration as they mark a milestone in their church’s history.

The church has been closed for more than three years while earthquake repairs were carried out and that meant services had to be held in the church hall.

Last week the accumulated dust of those years was removed, pews were carried back into place and on Sunday the church celebrated a new life.

The choir was back in the choir stalls, the organist back in front of the organ and the pews were filled with people celebrating both the reopening of the church and the spring season.

Each day this week the community will also have an opportunity to celebrate, with the church organists performing between 11am and 1pm.

New Auckland Mayor Phil Goff’s ideas on housing affordability and tackling traffic congestion have copped a cool response from Prime Minister John Key. Goff has called for a 15 per cent tax on foreigners buying existing houses (new houses would be exempt) and a regional petrol tax to fill a funding hole to pay for transport and other infrastructure needs.

But on Goff’s first day at work yesterday, Key said the best thing the mayor could do to deliver affordable homes was to streamline council’s planning and consenting departments to deliver faster consents.

“That will have a far bigger effect than worrying about some tax that a tiny proportion will pay,” Key said.

He said if the concept of a housing tax, or stamp duty, was to try and dampen demand, then information at the moment would indicate it would not achieve a lot because not many buyers fit the category.

The Prime Minister also said the Government is not considering a pitch by Goff for a regional petrol tax at the moment, saying it got rid of a regional petrol tax for Auckland when it came to office.

Key said there had not been a change in that position, but said there “will be ongoing discussions I’m sure”.

Last night, Goff was encouraged by Key’s comments on a regional petrol tax.

“They have a position at the moment, but they are prepared to discuss that and I welcome that.”

Goff said if Key was not keen on a tax “then his view prevails”, but the response he had received from Aucklanders was overwhelmingly in favour of a tax to discourage foreign investors in the New Zealand housing market.

Goff started work where he means to go on – saying the mayoral office will be the first body to save money.

One of the first things he will do is use an existing council Nissan Leaf electric car as the mayoral vehicle as opposed to the gas guzzling Holden Calais V6 favoured by former Mayor Len Brown.

Goff promised to save “at least 3 per cent” from the mayoral budget of about $4 million.

Goff reiterated that trust and confidence of Aucklanders in council is critical and needs to be restored.

He was referring to a council survey showing just 15 per cent of Aucklanders have trust and confidence and a 17 per cent satisfaction rating. Goff has called this “deeply corrosive” to the system of local democracy.

“One of my first jobs is going to be putting together a budget and that budget has to carry through my commitments in terms of capping rate increases at an average of 2.5 per cent and finding efficiencies,” Goff said. - NZME

Teenage boy seriously injured at indoor trampoline park An indoor trampoline centre where a teenage boy was seriously injured in an accident last week says it is upset by the incident but is defended its “rigorous safety precautions”.

The incident occurred at Mega Air Trampoline Arena in Christchurch.

St John Ambulance spokesman Ian Henderson confirmed ambulance officers were called to Mega

Air in Hornby just after 6pm last Monday.

A boy aged in his mid-teens was taken by ambulance to Christchurch Hospital with serious injuries, Henderson said.

A Canterbury District Health Board spokeswoman was not immediately able to confirm the boy’s condition.

A Worksafe spokesman said they had been notified of a per-

son suffering a “spinal injury” at Mega Air last Monday.

Worksafe staff were making preliminary inquiries before deciding whether to investigate further.

‘Time-outs’ spark outrage Angry parents say they will pull their children from a Wellington school caught using a “time-out” room for naughty pupils unless there is more accountability.

At least 10 children at Miramar Central School had been placed in the small, dark room for misbehaving in the past year.

An investigation from the Ministry of Education also found one boy, who was autistic with the mental age of a toddler, was put in the room 13 times in nine days.

He was heard yelling from the room “I’ll be good, I’ll be good” by his behaviour therapist, who

said the event will have a lasting psychological effect.

He still suffers night terrors, his mother said. She plans to lay a complaint with the Ombudsman, and possibly with police.

Other children – both mainstream and special needs – had been locked in the room for up to 25 minutes, largely without parent knowledge or consent, the investigation said.

The school says it will phase out the use of the room, and the Ministry has appointed specialists to work with teachers on positive behaviour strategies.

A group of parents met with the principal yesterday demanding an explanation.

One mother, who didn’t want to be named, said the principal refused to release the investigation report, because it was confidential.

“It’s not good enough,” she said. “There are parents who are absolutely livid over this and the school seems to be quite heavily downplaying the incident.”

The woman said she, and others, were planning to take their kids out of the school at the end of the year unless the principal

offered a better explanation.

“There needs to be better accountability.”

Some parents in the group believed the principal should stand down. Others simply wanted to know if their own children had been involved.

This morning, the school posted a statement on its website about the room, saying “some parents were not aware of every instance that the time-out room was used.”

In fact, the report found only one parent had given written consent.

■ UNITED STATES

Winners and losers Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump clashed in often personal terms in the second presidential debate yesterday in St. Louis.

Chris Cillizza watched, tweeted and picked some winners and losers.

Winners Hillary Clinton: Clinton had more to work with – in terms of negative hits on Trump – in this debate than she did the last time the candidates met.

And she did less with it than she did in the first debate.

This debate was focused far more on Clinton than Trump, particularly in the final hour.

Clinton’s answer on her email server was meh and her Abraham Lincoln defence on her speeches to Wall Street was ridiculous.

So, how is she a winner? Because Clinton went into this debate with massive momentum in the race – much of it caused by Trump’s stumbles – and didn’t make any sort of glaring error that would allow the Republican back into the contest.

She was steady, knowledgeable and pleasant – even in the face of some very personal attacks – throughout.

And, she let Trump talk which, as has been the case since he got into the race, is always his undoing.

Martha Raddatz: Trump, from the very start, seemed intent on driving home the idea that Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper were ganging up on him to help Clinton.

And, Raddatz back and forth with Trump over Syria will assuredly convince plenty

Donald Trump makes sure Hillary Clinton gets the point during yesterday’s debate.

PHOTO AP of conservatives that he was right.

But I thought Raddatz was forceful and fair. She refused to allow Trump or Clinton to filibuster and she fact-checked when the moment required it.

The only question I had about Raddatz while watching the debate was why the heck she didn’t get her own solo moderating gig in these debates.

Losers Donald Trump: Trump was much more solid and energetic in this debate than in the previous tilt.

He was able to drive messages on Clinton’s email, the Clin-

ton Foundation and Benghazi.

He dealt with his hot mic tape in (relatively) short order.

And he ad-libbed a terrific line after Clinton cited Lincoln to explain her impolitic comments in front of a Wall Street audience.

“She lied. Now she’s blaming the lie on the late, great Abraham Lincoln. Honest Abe,” Trump said.

And yet, Trump was – stop me if you’ve heard this one – his own worst enemy.

His stunt of holding a predebate press conference with a handful of women allegedly assaulted by Bill Clinton flowed seamlessly into Trump’s insist-

ence from the debate stage that Hillary Clinton would be in jail if he was elected president – and into his remarkable (and repeated) accusation that Clinton has “hate in her heart.”

Trump won the debate among the Republican base who have longed for a candidate who would stand up to the Clintons without fear of reprisal.

The problem for Trump is that we know from polling that his base isn’t nearly large enough to win an election.

The townhall format: Ostensibly, this was a debate for the people and by the people.

Undecided voters sitting on stage asking the questions they really cared about the two people who might be president.

But, that’s not really how it turned out.

First off, the audience felt totally ancillary to the debate – sort of like a palate cleanser the moderators threw to when the debate was leaving a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.

Second, when the audience did get a chance to ask their questions, those questions were, well, terrible.

“Can you be devoted to all people as president?” Huh? “Name one thing you like about your opponent?” What?

Look, I get the desire to have average people ask questions.

But, the questions have to be better or else it’s a total waste of time.

Bill Clinton: It had to be hard for the former president to be sitting just feet from the stage while Trump ran down his personal life and his wife.

And Bubba looked like he was taking it personally. - WP

Working long hours in Japan can be fatal A fifth of the Japanese workforce are at risk of death from overwork, says a new government survey.

Hundreds of deaths related to overwork including from strokes, heart attacks and suicides are reported every year in Japan.

The Japanese Government’s first investigation into the problem of karoshi, or death from overwork, has revealed that staff at 12 per cent of companies put in more than 100 hours of overtime every month.

Conditions are only marginally better at 23 per cent of the firms that were questioned for the White Paper, where 80 hours of overtime a month are the norm.

And the real figures may be even more shocking as only 1743 of the 10,000 companies that were asked to take part in the survey complied.

Of the 20,000 workers in-

One in five of Japanese workers are at risk. vited to provide information for the study, 19,583 replied in full.

In the year that ended March 31, the Health Ministry identified 93 suicides and attempted suicides as being caused by overwork.

Police statistics, however, claim there were 2159 suicides

that could be attributed to problems related to work.

Government statistics also show that legal cases filed over karoshi soared to 1456 in the 12-month period that ended in March 2015.

In comparison, a total of 1576 cases were filed between 2004 and 2008.

Nevertheless, campaigners against companies that force employees to put in long hours, frequently unpaid, have welcomed the report as a positive first step.

“I would like to commend the concrete action taken by compiling a white paper,” Emiko Teranishi, head of the Families Dealing with Karoshi support group, told the Mainichi newspaper.

“I would like to see detailed studies on the backgrounds of individual cases, leading to specific measures,” said Teranishi, whose own husband committed suicide after being forced to work long hours.

Legislation went into effect in 2014 that requires the government to carry out measures to prevent suicides and deaths from overwork, although the rules are hampered by a lack of penalties for companies that fail to comply.

First No.1 for Solange Solange, the funk singer who has long endured comparisons with superstar sister Beyonce, yesterday earned her first number-one album with an innovative and introspective work she surprisereleased. A Seat at the Table, in which Solange examines both the role of African-American women and her own despair, debuted at number one on the US Billboard album chart. The 30-yearold singer is believed to have a warm relationship with her older sister but has resented the constant comparisons, saying she is pursuing her own path.

Craig may yet return as 007 Daniel Craig has hinted that he will reprise the role of James Bond in a new movie.

Last year Daniel – who has portrayed 007 in four films beginning with 2006’s Casino Royale – said he would rather slash his wrists than portray the spy again but he appears to have had a change of heart. Speaking at the New Yorker Festival, he said: “I’ve got the best job in the world doing Bond. The things I get to do on a Bond movie and the type of work it is, there’s no other job like it.

A gemstone dropped outside the Paris hotel where she was targeted could provide vital DNA evidence in an investigation which has so far made little progress, despite being the centre of global media interest. “A piece of stolen jewellery was found close to the block, and was presumably dropped by the gang,” a source revealed. “It suggests that the criminals may have made mistakes because they were in such a hurry.” The news came as the 35-year-old reality TV star filed a £4.5 million ($NZ7.8 million) insurance claim.

Ban tobacco, clean up the world Sue Newman

CHIEF REPORTER

H

ike the price up, make obtaining something difficult and a black market is guaranteed to spring up.

Unfortunately that black market often results in an upsurge in illegal activity. And that’s what’s happening across New Zealand as tobacco prices continue to rise.

Young thugs see hocking off stolen tobacco and cigarettes as a lucrative business. A smash and grab raid can net sufficient product to provide a small income with very little effort for anyone looking for a quick buck.

Christchurch dairy and store owners have been living on the edge for many months as they’ve watched offenders march across the city, smashing their way through locked doors and terrorising staff.

And now it’s happening on our patch. Methven, Rakaia, Tinwald, our dairies, supermarkets and garages are being hit in increasing numbers. While each individual theft may not be large, there’s a huge human toll that’s being taken each time along with the tobacco heist.

That toll comes in fear.

If there’s anything to be grateful for in Ashburton, it’s that the thefts are occurring at night when no one is on the premises. When they start occurring during the day as often happens in Christchurch, the offenders are stepping into a whole new league. That’s when the potential for harm really amps up and people get hurt.

Somehow we have to prevent that happening in our territory.

Like every other Kiwi, store, dairy and garage owners have a right to go to work believing their workplace is safe.

Tobacco has had an interesting life journey. Where once it was an object of desire and smoking was seen as the ultimate in sophisticated relaxation, it has now become a health hazard and an anti-social activity.

It comes with health warnings and it comes with a high price tag, but as it’s been driven underground, how much of its allure has really been lost?

As tobacco related burglaries increase, we’re likely to see a growing number of retailers opt to take those products off their shelves.

That will cut supplies, reduce the number of burglaries and it could ultimately achieve what all the health warnings in the world have not, stopping a new generation lighting up and coughing their way to an early grave.

B

y now most farmers have all or a good portion of their new season lamb crop on the ground.

In the North Island favourable lambing conditions appear to have produced lower than normal lamb losses while the next few weeks’ weather will determine whether the same applies in the South Island.

Should this higher survival apply across both islands it will hopefully go a long way to wiping out the 700,000 less lambs predicted by Beef & Lamb (B&L) for this season.

This will help farmers with additional numbers helping to balance predicted lower returns, though it is always a shame when a good production year coincides with a lower return year.

The years when both align are those when farmers can really progress their business, both physically and financially.

Rick Powdrell FROM THE FARM

Likewise for meat companies, as more consistent annual numbers enables better throughput and marketing planning.

To date market predictions for the new season have been notably absent as all players in the industry grapple with in-market uncertainty and currency possibilities.

With this lack of forward pricing information I would stress to farmers to concentrate on what you can control.

That will be the on-farm production disciplines to produce the best lambs aligned to market requirements in a time frame to

meet your sales plan.

Worrying about factors beyond your control is a waste of your productive time.

There are plenty of people who you are paying in one shape or form to do that on your behalf.

B&L have released their new market development proposal, which was formulated with input from all sectors of the industry.

This collaborative approach is to be applauded and the content focuses B&L’s role more to new market development while leaving the meat companies to focus on existing markets.

This approach defines clear participant roles avoiding duplication and overlapping of responsibilities.

While gaining widespread industry support I feel it will be vital that B&L have robust mechanisms in place to monitor and report to farmers outcomes

Farmers need to demand more transparency on the returns on their levy money spend.

Brexit is, and will continue, to receive plenty of attention. I have a number of questions that I will be interested as to how the powers that be will address them.

Who will do the negotiation on our behalf and how will they be chosen?

How will what they negotiate be decided and the mix between UK and EU? How will all the wants and needs of individual sectors be balanced in all agreements?

There are lots of unknowns, but plenty we should all be thinking about.

■ GERALDINE

Big burger a big challenge A Geraldine eatery, Central Licensed Café, is adding New Zealand’s largest burger – The Gotham – to their menu and they are issuing patrons with a challenge: complete the whopping 2kg beef and bacon burger within half an hour and it’s free!

Successful punters will also earn a place on Central’s wall of fame.

The Gotham was launched yesterday and is alongside the café’s regular breakfast, lunch and dinner options.

Central Café pride themselves on the quality of their food, and the biggest burger in New Zealand will be no different.

With free-range meat, locally grown produce and even a locally baked bun, owner Carl Nicholson is confident that the Gotham’s size will be equalled by its quality and flavour.

“I don’t see the point in using anything other than the best,” he says.

Many travellers and Geraldine locals will be familiar with Central Café’s innovative marketing methods and Carl said he had more surprises during the biggest burger campaign.

“I’ve got a few things up my sleeve,” he said.

It may be an Australian icon, but the country’s love affair with the humble tinnie of VB is fading fast.

Domestic alcohol consumption in Australia is set to fall to its lowest level in more than half a century, with per capita alcohol consumption to hit 9.37 litres in 2016-17, according to IBISWorld. The trend is forecast to continue, with alcohol consumption in Australia expected to fall to 8.54 litres per capita by 2023-24 - down from 10.57 litres in 1990-91.

Michael Hill International, the jewellery chain business founded by its namesake, delivered 6.8 per cent sales growth in the three months to September 30 as it gears up for the busy Christmas period.

Group sales from all stores rose to $A120.2 million in the first quarter of Michael Hill’s financial year, from $A112.5 million in the same quarter in 2015.

Same-store sales grew 2.8 per cent to $A114 million in the three months.

The company now has two brands, Michael Hill and Emma & Roe, having moved the latter from trial phase into growth mode in the current financial year.

Michael Hill same-store sales rose 2.8 per cent to $A112.6 million in the first quarter, while Emma & Roe same-store sales gained 1.5 per cent to $A1.4 million.

Total store sales for the Michael Hill chain increased 5.9 per cent to $A117.5 million in the quarter, while Emma & Roe total sales jumped 72 per ent to $A2.7 million in the period.

“The first quarter is not a crucial period for the business or for our full year results, but the results achieved across both brands were a satisfactory outcome,” chief financial officer and acting chief executive Phil Taylor said.

In 2016, the jewellery chain posted a 30 per cent decline in annual profit to $A19.6 million as it accounted for tax adjustments.

In that year it grew revenue and earnings before interest and tax across its key Australian, New Zealand and Canadian markets and improved revenue in the US, bolstered by Emma & Roe. In the first quarter of 2017, the Michael Hill brand traded well in Canada, up 7.6 per cent in same-store sales in local currency in the quarter with total store sales growth of 18 per cent to $21.6 million Canadian dollars.

Taylor said it appears the retailer is “continuing to take market share in this growth market as the competition continue to struggle.”

An Auckland house with a $2.2 million price tag is being marketed as ‘affordable Remuera’ but a valuer questioned that. Agent Terry King of Remuera Real Estate says the marketing is justified because the property is good value. “If it was on the northern slopes, it would probably be $3.5 million,” he said of the property.

Leftover fodderbeet seed should returned

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury farmers have entered a new phase of heightened biosecurity awareness with several invasion weed incursions over the past two years and the threat of a pea weevil on the doorstep.

This week the Ministry of Primary Industries instructed farmers not to plant leftover seed from any of the six lines of fodderbeet known to be contaminated with velvetleaf.

The plant is widely described as the world’s worst cropping weed, but it also poses a significant risk to the dairy industry as it can survive ingestion by cows, and reduce feed crop yields.

Velvetleaf arrived in the country in contaminated fodderbeet seed and was first detected in a Waikato maize crop in 2011.

It was discovered in Mid Canterbury fodderbeet crops last summer, but a Federated Farmers proposal to rogue all suspected sites was thwarted by Ministry of Primary Industries officials, who cited privacy concerns.

In short, the ministry could not provide a requested list of farmers who had sown the contaminated seed for legal reasons, farmers were told at a public meeting held in Tinwald in July.

Individual velvetleaf plants produce up to 17,000 seeds. Plants undetected last season could result in a major explosion of the weed this season.

Federated Farmers Mid Canterbury arable industry spokesperson Joanne Burke said contaminated seed should be returned to the supplier for destruction.

“I would be seeking a refund,” she said.

Failure to get on top of the velvetleaf problem this summer could result in Mid Canterbury farmers battling the problem for the next 50 or 60 years, Burke said.

Fodderbeet growers should also check the provenance of any new seed purchased and ask for a germ test to ensure the line is clean.

A thorough visual inspection should be carried out for the presence of any other foreign seeds.

■ WORKSHOPS

Irrigation efficiency workshops

By Michelle NelsoN

MPI has acknowledged it lacks the resources to fund the crop surveillance programme and it will be up to farmers to manage the situation.

Federated Farmers is working on an advisory package to alert farmers of the critical importance of pulling up “every single plant” before seed sets.

“A simple walk into the paddock on an evening could save an extensive and expensive spray regime for the next 60 years,” Burke said.

She also urged farmers to communicate with neighbours and Federated Farmers.

The Foundation for Arable Research (FAR) has been designated as the agency responsible for assisting with velvetleaf management plans.

However the ministry will continue to work with industry players and regional councils to manage the incursion of the weed.

“There are hundreds of properties around New Zealand that have velvetleaf on them and we don’t want any more,” MPI response incident controller David Yard said.

Velvetleaf is an unwanted organism and under the Biosecurity Act 1993 it is an offence to knowingly plant and grow it.

Farmers and contractors need to understand that it is illegal to plant these lines that are known to contain velvetleaf seed.

Any new detections of velvetleaf should be reported through the MPI hotline 0800 809966.

A technical expert will be able to provide advice on future management.

The six contaminated seed lines MPI is warning farmers against using are:

Mid Canterbury farmers have a chance to gem up on irrigation efficiency in the face of another dry year at one of several workshops running over the next few weeks.

IrrigationNZ workshops are at Dorie today and Hinds on October 19.

They are free two-hour workshops providing a quick snapshot of irrigation efficiency techniques.

Alongside this, IrrigationNZ will run a full-day irrigation and operator manager training workshop in Ashburton on October 20, covering calibration, the operation and maintenance of irrigators and Farm Environment Plan compliance.

The one-day workshops will be a mix of classroom learning and practical in-the-field application, with a walk alongside irrigation machinery helping participants identify operational risks.

IrrigationNZ project manager Steven Breneger says more workshops are being rolled out this summer than previous summers due to the increasing knowledge base irrigators require to meet new environmental requirements.

“The irrigator walk really helps as we talk about the maintenance checks they should be undertaking and look at the most common problems and pitfalls.

Summer pasture cropping – what are your options?

As some Mid Canterbury dryland pastures come to the end of their life span, summer cropping options are on the agenda.

Ravensdown technical manager of agronomy for the Central South Island Chris Lowe said summer can be hard on soil and pastures so the more leadin time farmers give themselves the better.

“There are forage options with tried and true technics to help you maximise your dryland cropping production,” Lowe said.

Lucerne is a high performing legume plant, due to its ability to utilise moisture better than other forage crop options. It can produce 12-20 tonnes of dry matter per hectare a year, dependent on soil conditions and management.

“To maximise establishment, soil testing should have occurred in the autumn to allow time for any soil nutrients correction to be made,” Lowe said.

If this was not done paddock options may be limited depending on soil nutrient and/or physical characteristics. Ideally lucerne requires a free draining paddock with no risk of water logging, and a pH above 6.1, with enough area for rotational grazing.

“Make sure you have good control of weeds prior to sowing, nutrient levels are at the optimum and take some plant tissue tests once the crop has established to ensure the nutrient levels in the plant are also correct,” Lowe said.

Break crops are highly advised for both weed control and nutrient corrections.

Technical training to combat pea weevil

Agronomist Chris Lowe.

Rape is a good brassica option for farmers who require a multi-graze option with limited summer moisture, according to Lowe.

Maturity of different rapes varies between 70-110 days, with giant and intermediate type rapes available.

In high fertility soils, rape can produce eight tonnes or more of

dry matter per hectare.

Clovers are key drivers to animal performance because of the high feed quality and different types have been bred to suit a range of different soil and management types.

“Higher sowing rates of clovers give you better production results,” Lowe said.

“Clovers are also highly vari-

able in yield and can be either used as a stand-alone crop or in a forage mix for a higher performing crop.”

Aerial application of clovers with fertiliser is a very good option for increasing hill country production, Lowe said.

“Due to the variability of New Zealand’s climate, no one size shoe fits all.”

Pea weevil monitoring will be critical in Mid Canterbury pea crops this summer and a technical training session on Thursday will focus on best practice.

The workshop has been organised by the Ministry of Primary Industries and AssureQuality, in conjunction with the Foundation for Arable Research, at Andrew Maw’s property on the corner of Rakaia Barrhill Methven Road and Lauriston Barrhill Road.

The hour-long event will be run

by MPI and AsureQuality officials, who will demonstrate the correct techniques and equipment for detecting the presence of pea weevil.

While aimed primarily at field staff within the seed and process pea industry, the session is open to pea growers and other interested parties, however the event will not be a forum for airing concerns about biosecurity.

Thursday’s technical training session will kick off at 2pm, and will follow an earlier workshop in the Leeston area.

No RSVP is required and the event will be signposted from Barrhill village.

More good follow-up rain will have added to grass growth prospects, as feed conditions are now above average and most cows will be fully fed on pasture alone.

The Opuha dam is full to overflowing and other water storage schemes are near to securing adequate irrigation supplies for the dry months ahead.

The big rise in soil temperatures has lifted supply above animal demand, and paddock rotations are being sped up with some now being shut for silage.

Well-fed cows have stimulated cycling and with body condition scores better than the norm, managers are hoping for a successful mating.

Rabobank has reported global milk supplies have fallen faster than expected in the face of firm demand for dairy products and this is the driver for the recent upturn in pricing.

However, last week’s global dairy trade event saw prices ease by 3 per cent, with the powders leading the fall as the market looked to settle after the big rises in the past two months.

Palm kernel biosecurity became an issue as a ship with poor documentation was prevented from discharging its cargo as officials stood firm to prevent a breach.

Shortages of quality calf milk powders have disappointed rearers, after it appears more young calves have been kept to satisfy the beef demand, and fill predicted shortages of female replacements as dairy’s prospects improve.

Lamb Lamb schedules remained steady this week, as the recent lift has been credited to a small opportunity in the UK chilled market. Dampened demand is seen out of China due to a drought driven increased domestic supply.

Lambs are now being checked for teeth growth as they change into hoggets, and there has been a surge of processing numbers as farmers look to beat the impending discounts.

Christmas trade contracts are around the $6/kg mark but are predicted to fall significantly over the summer period for frozen carcasses.

Lambing in the foothills is now in full swing and good weather and satisfactory feed supplies suggest strong lamb survival rates.

Weak demand for lamb pelts and an oversupply of sheep runners are both impinging on sheep meat pricing. Some analysts are pessimistic returns will not even reach last year’s average results.

Wool This week’s South Island wool auction was again weak and only 78 per cent of the offering met vendors’ expectations in a market short on demand.

Crossbred indicator prices again fell to lows not seen for three years and will be especially disappointing for farmers as buyers report the quality presented has been excellent.

Beef More beef schedule falls this week, as the US market remains very quiet as record domestic kills for cattle and pigs has driven prices lower and caused some closures of big feedlots.

Ravensdown has fixed the price of super at $310/tonne and pledges to keep this price stable until December 16, amid reports of increased usage of the product as dairy farmers return to all-grass systems.

Deer Venison schedules eased this week, as numbers filled the plants chasing the chilled market premiums.

Alliance announced the building of a new specialty venison processing plant at Lorneville as they plan to reduce killing costs by 30 per cent, and as part of this change to replace the Makarewa facility, they will also sell farmland for the new dairy hub for Southland.

Mr Toner’s court case

BY KATHLEEN STRINGER

O

ne of the amazing things about newspaper stories is the unusual discoveries that can be made through them, telling of history that cannot easily be found elsewhere. One such story is the tangled web concerning Mr Toner of Alford Forest, as told through local newspapers.

On April 17, 1886, the story broke of Mr James Toner, a “fairly well off”, “small farmer” from Alford Forest, who had been convicted of stealing saplings of “nominal value” from the Alford Forest Company land. He was duly charged 40 shillings plus costs, which more than one paper thought unreasonable.

The Press championed Mr Toner, who said that he made an honest mistake, as the boundary between the “open for all” Pye’s Bush and the company’s land was poorly defined. The story went on to say that the constable was called and he arrested Mr Toner, who objected to this action, so was threatened with being handcuffed and tied to the tail of the policeman’s horse and made to walk the 13 miles to Methven.

While Mr Toner spent the night in the Methven jail, his house was ransacked by the same constable as it was believed that a man who would steal wood might steal anything. Sympathy goes out to poor Mr Toner, an honest man wronged.

A misinterpretation But Edward Herring, manager of Alford Forest, then wrote and said that the papers had misinterpreted everything. The company’s bush was well defined and there had been an ongoing problem with theft – almost 80 per cent of the wood cut by the company for firewood or construction had been stolen. Herring was determined to make the next person caught an example.

Maybe he should have left it at that; but Mr Herring went on to state that Mr Toner had helped himself to wood many times and his representation by newspapers as an upright citizen was dubious.

Herring described Toner’s house as an unclean slab hut open to wind and rain with a quagmire of putrid urine at the entrance. Herring had worked as an overseer in England and had visited the poorest areas of Ireland and England but never before had he seen such poverty, hunger and dirt as at Mr Toner’s.

Libel and counter-sue Naturally, Mr Toner was upset and laid a charge of libel against Mr Herring. Mr Toner stated that all Mr Herring’s allegations were untrue and were proof of Mr Herring’s malice towards him.

The hovel (which during the case was also called a chaff house) was not Mr Toner’s, who lived with his brother-in-law, but Mr Toner’s “man’s”, James Bullivant.

The case saw many locals give evidence for both sides. Mr Toner on the day was the victor.

Mr Herring then counter-sued Mr Toner (and James Bullivant) for perjury during the libel case.

While these two men were waiting to stand trial for perjury they sued

Mr Herring for malicious prosecution. Eventually the whole case blew over with Mr Herring fined.

It’s a complicated and confusing story that spans over 12 months of court cases, letters to the editor and editorial comment.

The real treasure What makes the story so interesting is the quantity of detailed information, which is the real treasure.

Naturally we learn a lot about the main players – Mr Herring and Mr Toner, as well as the pieces of land under question. However, we also meet up with a number of

witnesses. For example, we hear from bushmen who, not owning land, don’t appear in such lists as electoral rolls. We discover that a Mr Goldsmith left Alford Forest on March 23 to live in Springbank (information that is gold, if you were researching that family).

We learn that bushman John Nelson could read and write but had not practised writing for 28 years and that he had been a member of the Temperance Lodge but, “fell off the wagon using some the lodge’s money”. We hear that William Brown lived at the Boultons’ for a while and in-

deed many members of the Boulton family gave evidence, including Caroline, a married woman, and George who was just 15.

Women and minors are often invisible in history, but because of this case we can hear about their lives and find out what they were doing during that time. While you may know your ancestor was living in an area often you don’t know exactly where, or with whom, or what their accommodation was like.

Although people do consult newspapers, it is often for things they already know – obituaries, accounts of marriages (which

often list who gave what presents and what everyone wore in surprising detail), reports of accidents or inquests, or well-known historical facts such as fires or the opening of businesses.

The National Library’s website Papers Past has great search functions and has an amazing collection of digitised newspapers. The museum and library also hold complementary collections if you want to pop in and browse, including editions not available online.

They give eyewitness accounts of some really interesting stories from our district.

In brief Sailors in the money Team New Zealand is in line to receive a seven figure pay-out from the America’s Cup organising body after winning a bitter dispute over a breach of contract. The dispute dates back to April last year, when the America’s Cup Events Authority reneged on an agreement awarding Auckland hosting rights of the America’s Cup qualifiers, originally scheduled for February 2017. With blanket confidentiality clauses in place around arbitration, the decision was not publicly released. - NZME

■ CRICKET

Storm have a cleanout

Massive chase for Black Caps Martin Guptill and Tom Latham gave New Zealand a strong start in response to India’s mountainous first-innings total before R Ashwin struck 15 minutes before lunch to end their 118-run opening stand yesterday.

At lunch on day three, New Zealand were 125 for 1, trailing India by 432 runs, with Guptill batting on 59.

Latham had come into this match having scored 74 in his last innings, in Kolkata.

There, and in this innings, his success was partly down to the method he had worked out to reduce the likelihood of lbw against the spinners, by taking a shorter front-foot stride, and playing with his bat in front of his pad.

Yesterday Ashwin managed to find the leading edge by looping one slower, just outside leg stump, and getting it to grip and turn. Latham, closing his batface early, popped up a simple return catch.

■ HOCKEY

Hatch Cup a huge learning curve

By Noah Graham A local under 13s boys hockey team finished at the lower end of their table in the national tournament in Christchurch last week.

The Mid Canterbury Under 13 boys placed 19 out of the 24 teams in the five-day, 2016 Under 13 Boys’ Hatch Cup tournament after they lost all five games.

Mid Canterbury Under 13 Boys hockey head coach Joyce Read said the boys had competed in a tough pool and played against Bay of Plenty and Auckland – two

teams who finished in the top four places.

Read said they had fielded a less-developed side than the other teams with their youngest player only 10 years old.

The players had done Ashburton proud and should hold their heads up high, Read said.

She said the parents had supported the team well and the players had gelled together and enjoyed the tournament.

The Mid Canterbury Under 13 girls’ side had not done better as they placed last in the 2016

Under 13 Girls’ Collier Trophy in Hamilton last week.

Co-coach Skip Muir said a combination of bad luck and inexperienced umpiring had landed them last and they could have easily been higher up the table.

Their best player, Hannah O’Reilly, had a shoulder injury early on in their second to last game against Central Otago when she was pushed over by one of the Central players, which the referees did not call properly, he said.

Muir said Central beat Mid

Canterbury 3-1 in penalties after the score was 1-1 and the injury was the difference between them winning or losing the game.

If they had won the game against Central they would have finished six places higher, he said.

Muir said there was not much between the bottom 12 teams and next year the team will be more experienced and aimed to place 18.

He said despite their final position they had all enjoyed themselves and got on really well.

Greg Inglis won’t join Aaron Woods and Josh Mansour on the sidelines for the Kangaroos for Saturday’s Test against New Zealand in Perth due to personal reasons. Inglis has remained in Sydney for the expected birth of his child on Monday but he will join the Australians at the Fremantle base likely tomorrow.

Mitchell Fitzsimmons covered the course in 26.33 to take fastest time honours from brother and sister duo Ethan and Caitlin Titheridge.

Jacquie Fitzsimmons took division 2 honours from Debbie and Andy Skinner with Andy taking fastest time.

Next week the club will contest a 38km handicap event on the Wakanui-Hakatere course.

Women silence knockers at Bathurst

Nico Rosberg powers his way to victory in the Japanese Grand Prix.

■ MOTOR RACING

Rosberg extends F1 lead Nico Rosberg has won the Japanese Grand Prix to increase his Formula One championship lead to 33 points over Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton.

Australia’s Daniel Ricciardo finished in sixth place at Suzuka as Rosberg clinched his ninth season victory and 23rd overall as he made the most of pole position.

Rosburg topped the podium from Ricciardo’s Red Bull’s teammate Max Verstappen and Hamilton who had won the previous two Suzuka races.

The results of Rosberg and Hamilton allowed Mercedes to clinch a third-straight constructors’ world title with four races to spare as they can no longer be caught by Red Bull and Ferrari.

The Briton Hamilton had a horror start a week after an engine failure forced him to retire

in leading position in Malaysia, dropping from second on the grid to eighth into the first turn.

The two-time reigning world champion recovered to make the podium but now dropped another 10 points behind Rosberg (313-280) who is steadily closing in on what would be his maiden F1 title.

“What an awesome weekend.

“It’s beautiful to win here and congratulations to my colleagues and the team for clinching the constructors’ championship,” Rosberg said.

Mercedes have been the dominant team of the past years, having won 47 of the 55 grands prix since 2014.

“It feels great. After the drama in Malaysia where we tried really hard to do it, it feels very special.

“Doing a third time in a row, it is very special also,” Mercedes

motorsport chief Toto Wolff said.

Rosberg had a solid start from pole while Hamilton met disaster on the right side which was partly damp from overnight rain.

He hardly got going with lots of wheelspin and once he reached top speed had dropped six places to eighth, apologising via team radio by saying “sorry guys.”

Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel rose to third behind Rosberg and Verstappen by lap three, from sixth on the grid as he made up a three-place grid penalty for causing a collision with Rosberg last week.

Team-mate Kimi Raikkonen was docked five places as the Finn started from eighth after a gearbox change.

Hamilton meanwhile started his catch-up effort, and was up to fourth after his first round of

pit stops, taking full advantage that Raikkonen and Force India’s Sergio Perez were held up by the Renault of Jolyon Palmer.

And once the second stops were completed Hamilton had reached a podium placing in third, as Vettel dropped behind him after cursing about backmarkers who had held him up before pitting.

Hamilton then also closed in on Verstappen but was unable to pass the Dutch teenager as a move in the chicane in the penultimate lap failed, although Hamilton complained that Verstappen had moved under braking.

Up front, Rosberg controlled the race and handily claimed his first Suzuka victory in 1 hour 26 minutes 43.333 seconds for the 53 laps. All 22 cars finished the race.

Whincup ‘not Brock trophy worthy’ Peter Brock’s brother says Jamie Whincup would not have been a worthy recipient of the winner’s trophy named after his famous sibling after a controversial Bathurst 1000 at Mount Panorama.

Whincup’s Holden team have launched a protest after a time penalty relegated the four-time winner to 11th in Sunday’s Great Race despite crossing the line first.

Instead Holden’s Will Davison was handed the Peter Brock Trophy for the second time.

Phil Brock awarded Davison the trophy after a Bathurst 1000

that honoured the 10th anniversary of his brother’s death.

“I think it is fitting a small, hard working team like that won the Peter Brock Trophy,” he told AAP. “Sure Will came from the blue a bit but he had worked so hard.

“Peter would have been going ‘you bloody deserve this’.”

Brock said it would not have sat well with his brother if Whincup had been the winner after being involved in a spectacular incident with 11 laps left in the enduro classic.

“When it looked like Whincup was going to win I was thinking

‘this is not what the trophy is about’,” he said.

“Peter was about racing and giving it your best shot.”

The drama began when Whincup tried to snatch second spot from Volvo’s Scott McLaughlin on lap 150.

He made contact with McLaughlin, forcing the Volvo driver off the track. McLaughlin weaved back onto the track, spectacularly crashing with Garth Tander as Whincup continued on.

Whincup already knew he had been slugged with the 15-second

penalty by the time he crossed the line, ensuring he not only missed the podium but the top 10.

Tander’s Holden team boss Ryan Walkinshaw was livid.

“A @holden_racing Bathurst win robbed from us with 10 laps to go by two people running out of talent who should know better. Gutting,” he tweeted.

He added after McLaughlin apologised to Tander in the HRT sheds: “@smclaughlin good bloke for coming to apologise to the boys. Somehow I doubt we will see the other bloke who caused the whole mess.” - AAP

After just her second Bathurst 1000, Simona de Silvestro can already lay claim to beating sixtime champion Craig Lowndes.

No wonder the ex-Formula One test driver is confident she has finally silenced the knockers.

De Silvestro is confident she can mix it with the best when she finally becomes a full-time Supercars driver next season after falling short of a top finish at Sunday’s Great Race.

She and co-driver Renee Gracie stayed out of trouble at an incident packed Bathurst 1000 that included six safety cars as eight teams failed to even finish.

When the dust settled, the allfemale team placed 14th – two places higher than Lowndes, albeit after he suffered gear dramas early.

Still, former IndyCar driver de Silvestro was taking all the positives she could before her much anticipated full-time debut in 2017.

“I think finishing 14th is quite amazing,” she said.

“In these sorts of races when you stay out of trouble, the race comes to you a little bit.

“I was pretty happy with my first stint in the car because at the end of it we were starting to fight with the other guys out there.”

De Silvestro had hoped to prove the doubters wrong after she speared off the track at qualifying on Friday, relegating them to the back of the grid.

“I think we can be pretty happy.

Renee did an awesome job as well, as did the car and the team,” De Silvestro said. “I think we can be happy with this one, certainly better than the last one.”

De Silvestro returned to the mountain after teaming up with Gracie last year as a wildcard entry as the first all-female team to tackle Bathurst in almost 20 years.

De Silvestro can now look forward to a bright future – not only for herself but female drivers.

Next year she will be the first female full-time touring car driver since Christine Gibson in 1975.

And Supercars boss James Warburton wants three women driving full-time by 2025.

In brief

■ COBBLERTOTHESTARS

Bright staying future tipped Cobblertothestars may take on Group One company in the near future, but it’s his longer-term prospects that has his Riccarton trainer Les Didham most excited.

The son of Jimmy Choux has only raced twice and he will take on his second black type challenge when he steps up to a mile next time out in the Listed Zacinto Stakes at Riccarton on Saturday week.

“He’s always showed us plenty of ability and he’s a big horse at 16.2 hands so he’s going to be even better in the autumn,” Didham said.

While he is keen on Cobblertothestars’ Gr.1 New Zealand Derby prospects, he could yet front up in the Gr.1 Sothys New Zealand 2000 Guineas.

“He is going to be much better over a distance, but he’s a smart horse and the owner is keen on the Guineas so we’ll see what happens,” Didham said.

“They’ve been offered a bit of money for him, but they want to keep him.”

Bred and raced by the Mooney family of Christchurch, Cobblertothestars finished fourth behind the talented filly Zigwig in the Listed Champagne Stakes at Riccarton in his only appearance last season.

He finished a tidy fourth over 1400 metres when resuming this term, again on his home track, after an interrupted build-up.

“He’d only had an 800 metre trial and I’d had a bit of trouble with his feet so he’d missed a bit of work and he badly needed that run,” Didham said.

Cobblertothestars has been ridden in both his starts by Chris Johnson, who is also keen on the gelding’s prospects when he gets over more ground.

“Chris really likes him, and he wants to stick with the horse,” Didham said.

Double delight for Park The Kranji Mile has delivered a dream result for Windsor Park Stud.

Two graduates of the Cambridge nursery quinellaed Sunday’s Singapore Group One event with Debt Collector beating Well Done.

Debt Collector was bought out of Windsor Park’s Select Sale draft to Karaka in 2014 by Michael Wallace for $30,000. Debt Collector has now won six of his nine starts, including last season’s Singapore Guineas, while Well Done has won seven times.

Makfi off to Japan Makfi is serving his last book of mares at Westbury Stud this season following his sale to Japan. The Group One winner, who has produced classic winners from his first crops in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, has been purchased by the Japan Bloodhorse Breeders’ Association.

- NZME Chris Johnson is a big fan of Cobblertothestars.

Blinkers coming off The blinkers may come off Sacred Elixir in his final lead-up to the Gr.1 VRC Derby. The Tony Pike-trained three-year-old raced keenly when unplaced in Saturday’s Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas, prompting the possible change for the Gr.2 AAMI Vase at Moonee Valley on Saturday week. “A couple of things went against him,” jockey Damien Lane said. “He travelled a touch keen and they sprinted really hard on the bend and he got a bit unbalanced but all in all, he’s probably looking for a touch further now.”

Guineas still on leading filly’s radar Unbeaten filly Volpe Veloce remains on a path to Riccarton, despite an interrupted start to this season’s programme.

Her two-year-old campaign went smoothly with a debut victory on her home track followed by black type success in the Listed Castletown Stakes at Wanganui,

M5

but it’s been a stop-start preparation this time around.

Volpe Veloce was installed favourite for her three-year-old debut in the Gold Trail Stakes at Hastings before she was a late scratching after kicking out in the barrier.

“At this stage it’s still on for Christchurch and she’s going

to Rotorua on Saturday for the three-year-old race over 1200 metres, but that will depend on the weather – the horse has to come first,” Matamata trainer Graham Richardson said.

Meanwhile, a quartet of her stablemates are already in the South Island to further their pro-

grammes toward next month’s New Zealand Cup carnival with plans for them to step out at Saturday’s Ashburton meeting.

Fame Seeker, Incantesimo, Tessastock and Victoryshallbemine are all being stabled at Riccarton with Shane Kennedy and Anna Furlong.

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): As for the one you’ve put so much thought into lately: This person makes you happy, but also makes you feel vulnerable. Old fears are surfacing through this relationship.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): What can you do that you haven’t before? Events today will seem to rhyme, as though everything is echoing parts of something else. There’s a beauty and a comfort in this, also an annoyance.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Time and action will seem to play out in a very analogue fashion. Unlike when you send a text or an email, you’ll be able to finish an action, change your mind, take it back and redo it before it matters.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The feeling of the day is one of unlimited potential. The idea that your best work is still out there will keep you reaching, trying, learning and committing yourself over and over to the promise.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The day’s work will thrust you into unusual social circumstances. You’ll be sorting through the frivolous and the earnest today, finding value in both and enjoying the task of handling these sorts of things.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Over time you could grow to resent those who seem to only add to the rather mundane aspects of the day, even as you cherish those who grace your existence with a spark of the unexpected.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): No matter what pessimism may abound in some around you today, your enthusiasm will be difficult to kill, because it is invisible and contagious and moves fast.

Stay buoyant.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You like to make people laugh, and you’re good at it. The star of your day will be an Ed McMahon-esque sidekick – someone who supports you, sets you up and gets pleasure from your wit, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The bigger victories will get a party or some epic advertisement; it will be easy to lose yourself in their pronouncement. Raise a toast to small victories such as the one this evening.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You need love and affection, but somehow it doesn’t seem right if you have to ask for it. The problem is remedied by giving out what you want them to give to you. Don’t worry; in time, they’ll learn.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The best answer isn’t always right. You’ll be inspired to ask more, go deeper and experiment. This could bother a person who likes to leave well-enough alone, but don’t let that dissuade you.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): There’s something you used to try and hide. You’re starting to realise this trait you once deemed unacceptable may be the best opportunity to celebrate who you are.

Winning return for Brady Quarterback Tom Brady enjoyed a winning return from his ‘deflategate’ suspension as the New England Patriots extended the Cleveland Browns’ losing start to the NFL season. The Patriots star missed the first four games of the campaign as he served a suspension in relation to deflated footballs used in an AFC Championship game in 2015.

But he made up for lost time by throwing for 406 yards and three touchdowns to Martellus Bennett in a 33-13 triumph for the Patriots.

Yates takes the honours

Over 250 people from across New Zealand competed in last Saturday’s Salmon Run and the results have been released.

Competitors chose between six different races with the shortest being a 6km fun walk and the longest being an over 60km multisport event.

Penelope Yates finished first overall in the 6km running race with a finishing time of 30 minutes 21 seconds.

The 13km race had seven categories with seven winners however, Stephen Blackwell finished first overall finishing in 53:34.

There were two duathlon events, one short and one long.

The short duathlon involved a 25km bike ride with a 6km run.

The overall winner of the short duathlon was school student Reece Rush with a finishing time of 01:08:35 with just over 43 minutes of cycling.

The long duathlon event had

the participants cycling for 35km and finishing with a 13km run.

It was Sam Bell who finished first overall.

Bell completed the race in 01:54:04, three minutes ahead of second place Flavio Vianna.

The longest event, the multisport, involving a 35km bike, 14km kayak and a 13km run had to be altered as the high winds on Saturday stopped the kayak event going ahead.

Mandy Hurst, one of the

organisers said although the cancellation was disappointing, competitors were still challenged by the long duathlon.

Hurst also said the walk was a hit as well and the attendance was up from the previous year.

“Contestants came from Wellington, Alexandra, Dunedin, Harihari, Omihi, Balclutha, Blenheim and we were thrilled to get such good support from Christchurch and Ashburton as well as an entrant from Australia,” she said.

Gatland’s selfless gesture recognised British Lions coach Warren Gatland (right) is already endearing himself to the New Zealand public ahead of next year’s tour, as he gave up an airplane seat in business class to a grandmother so she could join her daughter and baby granddaughter.

Gatland, the former All Black hooker who now coaches the Welsh national side, was flying

from Auckland to Sydney seated a row ahead of Dennis Shepherd.

Shepherd took to Facebook to share the coach’s selfless gesture.

“What a gentleman,” Shepherd wrote.

“Warren [swapped] his business class seat for a seat in the back of the plane so the two could travel together. It’s really nice that [gentlemen] still exist.

“If you see this man buy him a beer,” he added.

The post has been liked more than 1400 times, and has more than 590 shares.

The Welsh Rugby Union confirmed the story was true in a tweet.

“He said he knows how hard it is travelling with children,” the WRU tweeted.

As ultra-marathon swimmer Chloe McCardel swam the English Channel to equal the Australian record for the number of crossings, she felt a special bond with the man who set that record. McCardel’s crossing in just over 10 hours on Sunday was her 19th, equalling that of Des Renford who made his last crossing in 1980, five years before she was born. The 31-year-old hopes to beat the record with her 20th crossing some time this week, weather and conditions permitting.

More than a cricketer A five-day inquest into the death of cricketer Phillip Hughes, who was felled by a cricket ball during a Sheffield Shield match, has begun in Sydney. Hughes died after he was struck by a short-pitched delivery from pace bowler Sean Abbott on November 25, 2014. State Coroner Michael Barnes has started the inquest by offering his condolences to the cricketer’s family. “To his family ... he was much more than a fabulous cricketer,” he said. “Phillip was before anything else, a son and a brother.”
