Staff put at risk; firm fined $70k An Ashburton company that makes feed pellets for cows has been fined $70,000 for failing to protect its workers from toxic dust generated during the manufacturing process.

Workers at Precision Animal Supplements were exposed for years to hazardous substances that hurt their eyes, impaired lung function and put them at risk of developing serious illnesses.

The company had pleaded guilty in the Ashburton District Court to a charge laid by WorkSafe that it failed to ensure the health and safety of workers.

In sentencing yesterday, Judge Allan Roberts set down the fine and also

ordered emotional harm payments totalling $5000 to three workers – this was on top of $8000 the company has already made to them.

Judge Roberts also ordered the company to pay $4740 towards WorkSafe’s legal expenses in bringing the prosecution.

A director of Precision Animal Supplements was in court yesterday to hear the verdict as well as the workers, whose victim impact statements detailed how they hoicked up black dust and coughed incessantly. They were worried about their future health.

The workers had repeatedly raised

concerns about toxic dust generated during the pellet making process, which involved wheat, peas, barley and canola being fed into a hammer mill.

WorkSafe began an investigation after a complaint and visit to the factory in 2016.

It found Precision Animal Supplements had failed to identify the exposure of its workers to hazardous substances as a risk and therefore not developed a safe system of work.

■ VOLUNTEERING MID AND SOUTH CANTERBURY

Migrant volunteering workshops seek registrations

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

New migrants will be able to hear first-hand about the volunteer organisations which make Mid Canterbury tick next week.

Civil Defence, Caninspire, Ashburton Art Gallery, Town Watch, Plunket, Fire and Emergency and SEEDS will all feature at two workshops on Monday.

The aim is to inform new Mid Cantabrians, who have moved here from overseas, all about the organisations and give them an opportunity to sign up if they wish.

Spokesperson Dellwyn Moylan said volunteer work was a great way for new people in town to connect with their communities.

Volunteering helped people make new friends, make them feel welcome, utilise any skills they may have and could even lead into employment.

One of the people involved in planning the workshops is a case in point.

Mid Canterbury Newcomers’ Network co-ordinator Adi Avnit

and his wife Eti and their two children moved here from Israel at the end of 2016.

Avnit said he began volunteering with Newcomers’ Network, and then when an opportunity arose, successfully applied for the position he now holds. But he still continues volunteer work, at Ashburton’s Town Watch.

Avnit said he recommended volunteering as a great way to learn about one’s new community, and he hoped as many people as possible would register for the workshops. “It’s a way to connect to various groups, and a very good way for someone in town to get in touch with their community,” Avnit said.

Volunteering New Zealand (VNZ) is partnering with Volunteering Mid and South Canterbury, to deliver the two-hour workshops, at 1.30pm, and repeated again at 7pm, at Hotel Ashburton.

Registrations close midday on Thursday, and can be made with Moylan on 308-1237 or volmidcant@gmail.com

Preparing to inform Mid Canterbury newcomers all about the benefits of volunteering are (from left) Welcoming Communities co-ordinator Ilana Batchelor, Volunteering Mid and South Canterbury Mid Canterbury co-ordinator Dellwyn Moylan, and Mid Canterbury Newcomers Network co-ordinator Adi Avnit.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

Drink drive charge 13th A Tinwald man with 12 previous convictions for drink driving admitted his 13th in the Ashburton District Court yesterday.

Michael Wayne Overend, 53, was headed for jail, Judge Allan Roberts said.

Overend blew 788mcg when he was stopped by police on West Street on August 5. His previous drink drive convictions go back 30 years.

Defence counsel Roz Burnside said Overend’s most recent was in 2011, but he had fallen off the wagon and reoffended.

Judge Roberts allowed Overend bail until sentencing on October 15 but said that was not an indication of what was to follow.

“The previous convictions indicate to me a long term dependency

on alcohol,” he said.

Overend’s last three breath levels had been 985mcg, 512mcg and 1085mcg.

The judge asked for a full presentence report and while a jail term is likely, he also asked for reports on the possibility of homebased electronically monitored sentences.

Another drink driver, 57-yearold man Mark Andrew Burden, blew 1056mcg when stopped by police on Havelock Street, the court was told.

Burden, a property manager of Tinwald, pleaded guilty to driving with excess breath alcohol. He was sentenced to 50 hours community work, disqualified from driving for 28 days and given leave to then apply for an alcohol interlock licence.

The interlock is fitted to a vehicle and is in place for up to 12 months before Burden can then move to a zero alcohol licence for three years.

Judge Roberts said Burden had made an unwise decision to drive after excessive alcohol consumption. “I struggle to understand how someone can drink that much and then drive,” he said.

Burden’s lawyer said the interlock sentence came with a significant financial penalty; it costs around $2500.

Judge Roberts said the penalties were meant to hurt defendants like Burden.

He said the breath alcohol level was high and hinted at alcohol dependency issues, despite his drinking not landing him in court before.

Workers put at risk; firm fined $70,000 From P1 Judge Roberts said the health and safety of the workers had fallen squarely on the shoulders of the company and that the risks were blindingly obvious.

The health and safety consultant engaged had been clearly out of his depth.

The workers and the company have met in a restorative justice meeting and the company has apologised. The apology was repeated in court yesterday by their lawyer Joseph Lill.

WorkSafe’s lawyer Emma Jeffs said the case was unique in that a there had been no similar prosecutions, but the company had failed to manage the workers’ exposure to hazardous substances over a long period – and

it wasn’t a one-off accident but long-term exposure related to their core business.

Most of the products manufactured at the plant contained substances hazardous to health and testing in July last year showed inhalable grain dust greatly exceeded workplace standards.

Face masks provided did not meet the standard required and workers were not trained to use them, nor did management check equipment provided was used. Three of four workers tested showed lung function below the normal range.

Judge Roberts said the company should have acted on the workers’ complaints and addressed the problem.

Windfall for exhibition

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton Museum has received a $6000 windfall from the Suffrage 125 Community Fund.

Grants allocated from the $300,000 government fund were announced on Friday.

“We are absolutely thrilled,” said museum curator Tanya Robinson, who says the grant will enable the delivery of a soon-to-open suffrage exhibition to an even higher standard than planned.

Robinson said the museum had a lot of support from women’s groups in Mid Canterbury in making the application, which was for supporting a collaborative exhibition involving curatorial, research and related costs to celebrate 125 years of women’s suffrage in New Zealand.

Altogether $2.8 million from a variety of groups nationwide was applied for, and the museum was not only fortunate enough to be among successful applicants, but had also received the largest grant in Canterbury.

“For us to receive the largest amount in Canterbury is just fantastic, and it’s also one of the largest amounts in the country.

We are so pleased that this exhibition is proudly supported by the Ministry for Women and the Suffrage 125 Community Fund,” Robinson said.

Women Power; Freedom for Change will open September 19 at the museum at 6pm. Everybody is welcome, with RSVP to the museum encouraged.

Ashburton photographer Emmily Harmer had been contracted to work on the main feature of the exhibition, which is photographs of Mid Canterbury women in non-traditional roles.

“It’s a real celebration of extraordinary women. In the context of suffrage, they really are making history every day,” Robinson said.

Harmer said she had enjoyed photographing the 15 women to feature, but some had been a little camera shy to start.

Roles covered included shearer, farm manager, mechanic, joiner, irrigation engineer and glazier.

■ BIG LITTLE THEATRE COMPANY

Show’s success may spawn another

PLANNED ACTIVITIES Mid Canterbury’s Suffrage 125 committee members have been overwhelmed with a good response to celebrations being planned for next week.

The 125 Suffrage Celebration Ceremony will open at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre on September 18, featuring Kate Sheppard Memorial Trust Advisory Committee chairwoman Judith Sutherland and young local storywriter, Freya Jemmett, who won a category of the Ashburton Writers’ Group Short Story Contest with her piece on Kate’s Sheppard’s Dream for the 21st Century.

ing women to vote, there will be a Memorial Walk. All are invited and assembly is 11.30am at Baring Square cenotaph.

It will conclude with a rose planting at the Ashburton Domain.

And beginning next week, retailers will decorate their windows in the suffrage colours of purple and white.

Spokesperson Trish Small said the response to events had been fantastic. More than 50 retailers had come on board, and so far there were more than 100 planning on attending the event centre ceremony.

“It’s been very pleasing and it makes it all very worthwhile,” Small said.

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

A Big Little Theatre Company fundraiser concert left its audience so impressed on Friday night that some have been asking for it to become a monthly event.

Young performers provided a variety of entertainment to the theme of Follow Your Dreams at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre’s foyer, and amassed $1500 in donations towards their trip to the UK. Though the event was relatively informal, more than 100 people packed in to support it, company director Jackie Heffernan said.

“It was absolutely lovely. People were incredibly generous and we’re all really appreciative,” she

said. It was a chance not only to raise funds but to inspire younger performers and capture the imagination of the community, she said.

“I think their passion is quite infectious. I get to see it every week – and know how much they want this opportunity, and it was a chance for other people to share that. And people got to experience great theatre.”

The three-week trip to the UK next year will give 15 talented performers the chance to perform at The Globe, busk in the Southbank Festival and learn alongside the best of the best in a bespoke course delivered by the Royal Shakespeare Theatre Company.

The fundraising show on Friday

included Shakespearian acts, vocal solos, slapstick from the BLTC students, interspersed with additional support from another local group, Wayne’s School of Rock.

It was held as an open hat night, so audience members were asked simply to pay what they think it was worth.

“I think we’ll have to do another for sure,” Heffernan said.

Next on the jam-packed fundraising calendar is a fashion evening at Sparrows on September 27, featuring bubbles, supper and sartorial indulgence – alongside entertainment from the BLTC actors.

The group are also preparing for a Murder Mystery show and Fright Night next month.

■ STEM SCHOLARSHIP

MP offers a leg-up to local student

By Katie todd

September 30 and require either a 500 word essay or three minute video on the topic “How Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics can help New Zealand overcome a challenge”.

Applicants should send their applications to andrew.falloon@ parliament.govt.nz and also provide a one page CV and details of the applicant’s intended course of study.

Falloon and National Party Education spokesperson Nikki Kaye will judge the entries, considering criteria like the intended course of study and institution and connection of the student to the region.

“By itself my scholarship won’t solve the problem of skills shortages, but I hope that it will encourage more people to look at training in the areas we need to keep our economy moving,” Falloon said.

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Local students eyeing up science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) tertiary education courses have the opportunity for a leg-up from a local MP. Applications are open for a $1500 scholarship from Rangitata Andrew Falloon, which he hopes will hopes incentivise young people into areas where there are skill shortages.

The current government may have provided a blanket oneyear-free approach to university study, he said, but the growing economy needs more people trained in STEM subjects – which are typically more expensive than Arts degrees.

“Over the past year I’ve been fundraising at local A&P shows, selling raffle tickets in Ashburton, Winchester, Mayfield and Methven to fund the Andrew Falloon MP STEM scholarship,” he said.

“It’s worth $1500 and is open to any student at any year level who has previously studied at a high school level in the Rangitata electorate.”

Applications are open until

Right – Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon has been hard at work selling raffle tickets to raise funds for a new STEM tertiary scholarship – and now he wants to hear from applicants.

Car owner forced to cover up police signs A replica South Australian police car will be rebranded as a security car after police cracked down on a West Auckland man driving his pride and joy.

Rodney Roper was given the go-ahead by Police Headquarters yesterday that he could replace the sign-written words “Police” and the related South Australian Police emblem with the words Security.

Roper said although it wasn’t part of his dream to drive a rep-

lica car, it was an acceptable solution.

“Since I’m a security officer, I asked if I could put security on it and they’ve basically given me the go-ahead to do that. So I’m going to do that instead.

“It will look exactly the same, just instead of Police it will have Security.

“It’s OK. It’s as good as it can get I guess.”

It also meant the $3000 spent buying custom-made reflective

vinyl markings from a signmaker could be salvaged as the blue checks could stay.

Roper had yet to price up how much the additional signage would be and in the meantime have covered up the words Police so he could drive the 2011 Holden Commodore Omega around without breaking the law.

He put white pieces of paper over the emergency signs at the weekend.

Police have warned the West Auckland man he can’t drive his replica South Australian police car in public – but he thinks they’re just jealous because his car is better than theirs.

Police visited Roper last week and told him that if he did not cover the words “Police” he could be charged with impersonating a police officer, punishable by a maximum penalty of 12 months in prison and a fine of $15,000.

THE NAIT ACT HAS CHANGED WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

You may have heard some changes have been made to the NAIT Act. The changes fix some shortcomings in the old law – some of which became apparent during the Mycoplasma bovis response. Remembering, the NAIT online system is used for tracing the movement of animals in the event of a food safety or disease incident.

We want to be clear about some of the main changes: BEFORE THE CHANGES

NOW

Is NAIT important for tracing the spread of cattle diseases like Mycoplasma bovis?

Yes

Get out your sunglasses and jandals, warm weather is on the way.

While spring temperatures in Mid Canterbury have so far teetered around maximums of just 10 to 13 degrees, later this week the mercury will reach 20 degrees.

“It will be feeling quite warm,” said MetService meteorologist Tom Bell.

A ridge of high pressure is forecast to build over the country leading to settled and fine weather for the first half of the week, with cool evenings.

Then ahead of a front approaching the south of the South Island, temperatures on the eastern side are expected to hover between 18 and 20 degrees for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

On Sunday the warm weather may disappear as temperatures drop and there is rain and showers as the southerly front arrives.

However, the weekend was too far out to predict with any degree of certainty at this stage, Bell said.

Meanwhile, it has been a year of two halves in Mid Canterbury when it comes to rainfall.

NIWA has confirmed a dry winter following a soggy first five months.

Ashburton received just 34.6mm during August, well below normal compared to the long term average of 61.6 millimetres. And for winter as a whole, there was 96.6 millimetres of rain, drier than a normal winter which has a long term average of 182 millimetres.

Despite the lack of rain, Mid Canterbury is still well ahead in its amount of rainfall for the year, having received 677.2 millimetres to 4pm on September 9. This compares to the long term average to that date of 477 millimetres.

A soggy autumn followed hot on the heels of Ashburton receiving more than twice its average rainfall in summer, and recording its highest mean minimum air temperature since records began at Ashburton Airport in 1928.

Winter temperatures in comparison were near average, although July was considered exceptionally warm in the district, at 1.3 degrees celsius warmer than average.

The seasonal precipitation levels have been the wrong way around for Mt Hutt, but snowmaking has more than made up for on-trail snow levels and there has been the silver lining of less closed days due to heavy falls.

Mid Canterbury is already making up for its dry winter, with Mt Hutt receiving its biggest snowfall of the season last week, and 26.6 millimetres of rain so far in the district this September, compared to the long-term average to this date of 16 millimetres.

NIWA forecasts temperatures for the next three months to be equally likely to be near average or above average, while rainfall totals are about equally likely to be near normal or below normal.

■ ASHBURTON INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL

Students head down to the farm for rural lessons

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

A group from Ashburton Intermediate School headed to the paddocks to put theory into practice last Friday.

Around 30 students became the latest participants in a major, nationwide project to promote the primary industries, funded by the by the Red Meat Profit Partnership (RMPP) and delivered by New Zealand Young Farmers.

At Stephen Blain’s family farm near Ashton, they undertook hands-on activities to learn about career opportunities in the agrifood sector, from helping drench sheep to identifying types of wool suitable for making textiles.

Students were also able to sit in a modern, high-tech tractor and see the huge silos used to store grain.

Student Charlotte McLaren said she particularly liked getting to cuddle the lambs.

Blain’s partner Mary Holmes is a member of the NZ Young Farmers school engagement team, and has been involved in a number of school visits to farms.

But it was her first time hosting

a visit. “It was fantastic to experience it from a different perspective,” she said.

She said most students were a bit nervous to begin with, but it was great to see them eventually getting stuck in and giving it a go.

“They loved the hands-on parts of the visit. It’s a chance to ask lots of questions about the resources they’re studying in class.”

New Zealand’s red meat sector will need to find an extra 33,000 workers by 2025 to replace people who will retire or exit the industry.

“Most of the students aren’t from farms and this project is a fun, interactive way to show them the wide variety of jobs available,” Holmes said.

“A long list of professions help grow a sheep and turn it into delicious cuts of meat or create carpet or clothing from its wool.”

Students from 100 primary schools around the country are visiting sheep and beef farms as part of the project.

“We want to get the industry on the radar of students and teachers, so they’re aware of the career opportunities,” RMPP’s Di Falconer said.

Mary Holmes shows students a new-born lamb during a farm visit on Friday.

Home skills put to the test in annual show

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Homely aromas of fresh baking and floral arrangements wafted out of Ashburton’s Seniors Centre yesterday during the Netherby Women’s Institute’s annual Home Industries Show.

Members contributed their best pieces of knitting, baking, crafts, preserves and gardening and vied for prizes across five categories.

Nearly 250 items were received this

year, which president Denise Clark said was a good total.

She said the annual event began as a flower show several decades ago and expanded to encompass the other categories.

The items went under the scrutiny of judges early yesterday afternoon, after which members perused one another’s entries, listened to a guest speaker and enjoyed afternoon tea together.

A health scare at Auckland International Airport has been resolved after fears were raised about passengers falling ill on a Virgin Australia flight from Melbourne.

Passengers were informed by the captain on arrival they would be delayed as medical staff assessed the health of those on board around 3.30pm.

The Auckland Regional Public Health Service (ARPHS) said 10 passengers were examined by St John but none required further treatment.

“All other passengers have been allowed to disembark but have been provided with health information should they feel unwell,” ARPHS said in a statement.

A Virgin spokesperson confirmed all passengers had been cleared of any health concerns at 6.10pm and were free to go on their way.

“Virgin Australia flight VA167 from Melbourne to Auckland safely landed at 1530 local time,” the spokesperson said.

“The pilot made the decision to alert the New Zealand Ministry of Health as a precautionary measure to check the health of some passengers who felt unwell.”

St John spokeswoman Chrissy Hamilton said they were called around 3.30pm about a medical incident at the airport and sent three ambulances and three jeeps.

A passenger on the flight told the Herald no one onboard the aircraft was obviously unwell other than several people coughing.

“It appeared that a significant number of

people on the flight had returned from a pilgrimage to the Hajj where earlier in the week there was an outbreak of influenza.

“They kept everybody on the plane for about two hours. And some paramedics checked people’s temperature who were feeling unwell and requested those people stay behind to have further medical attention.”

Earlier, a Virgin spokeswoman said “quite a few” of the 157 passengers on board the flight from Melbourne began feeling “quite unwell”.

The captain made the decision to alert health authorities in Auckland and staff met the plane when it landed.

The spokeswoman said the passengers were showing flu-like symptoms and following the health scare involving the Emirates flight last week the airline took a cautious approach.

The return flight to Melbourne would be delayed.

Last week, 10 passengers and crew members were hospitalised in New York City after arriving sick on a flight from Dubai.

The Emirates flight was quarantined after landing at Kennedy Airport on Wednesday morning.

AP reported on Thursday that health officials said they obtained respiratory samples from the patients and their symptoms looked like influenza.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said about 100 of the 520 people aboard the plane had complained of illness, including cough and fever.

OUR VIEW

Big sporting events welcome here T

here was something quite nostalgic and cool about Saturday night’s All Blacks test match in Nelson.

The sight of thousands of fans, many of whom otherwise might not have ever been given an opportunity to watch the superstars of our country right on their very own doorstep, was really heartwarming and should send the message loud and clear to those in charge of the national sport that the smaller centres deserve the limelight too.

A lot of emphasis these days seems to be spent on our major rugby teams heading to various parts around the world to showcase their skills and sport. We

have test matches in America, Fiji, Hong Kong and countless other nations where rugby might not be quite as big as here in little old New Zealand, but what about on our own back doorstep.

Those with good memories will remember well the visits for trainings or promotional stops by the likes of the Crusaders and the huge crowds that would flock

to the Methven Domain or the Ashburton Showgrounds just for the chance to glimpse some of the elite names of the sport.

On Saturday night that was Nelson – just times it by about 22,000.

The buzz that must have been around the place about the All Blacks being in town to play a test match would have been awesome to be a part of that entire atmosphere.

So, just for a wee thought exercise. Why couldn’t we see a decent ticket rugby match here on our own doorstep?

The chances of the All Blacks ever playing in Ashburton seem pretty remote. I don’t think the promise of a jam-packed show-

grounds with less than 10,000 people in it is going to appeal to the suits at the New Zealand Rugby Union.

But maybe we could look at something a little smaller – perhaps we could start with a Canterbury Mitre 10 Cup match.

The crowds they get to those games as it is are pretty minimal and if you were to put on a match here in Ashburton you’d almost guarantee that we’d get more people along than what is heading to AMI Stadium in Christchurch most weeks.

That would be a good start – but then why not go another step forward.

While Christchurch is seem-

ingly mucking around trying to get all its ducks in a row to build a new stadium, surely the region’s beloved Crusaders could perhaps play a pre-season match here to really get things pumping in the heart of a region which boasts one of the best Heartland rugby sides in the country?

That would be much more enjoyable than watching our green and golds get beaten up by a professional side in a bid to win the Ranfurly Shield.

The Crusaders took a game to the West Coast last year, let’s start the campaign to get them to come to Ashburton in 2019. You know the community would get behind it.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, September 11, the 254th day of 2018.

There are 111 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On September 11, 2001, on America’s single-worst day of terrorism, nearly 3000 people were killed as 19 alQaida members hijacked four passenger jetliners, sending two of the planes smashing into New York’s World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and the fourth into a field in western Pennsylvania.

On this date: In 1297, Scottish rebels led by William Wallace and Andrew Moray defeated English troops in the Battle of Stirling Bridge during the First War of Scottish Independence.

In 1789, Alexander Hamilton was appointed the first US Secretary of the Treasury.

In 1814, an American fleet scored a decisive victory over the British in the Battle of Lake Champlain in the War of 1812.

In 1857, the Mountain Meadows Massacre took place in present-day southern Utah as a 120-member Arkansas immigrant party was slaughtered

by Mormon militiamen aided by Paiute Indians.

In 1936, Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) began operation as President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a key in Washington to signal the startup of the dam’s first hydro-electric generator.

In 1954, the Miss America pageant made its network TV debut on ABC; Miss California, Lee Meriwether, was crowned the winner.

In 2007, a new Osama bin Laden videotape was released on the sixth anniversary of 9/11; in it, the al-Qaida leader’s voice is heard commemorating one of the suicide hijackers and calling on young Muslims to follow his example by martyring themselves in attacks.

Big possibilities if we tell our story well

“G

ood morning sir, would you like one of our burgers featuring water, textured wheat protein, coconut oil, natural flavours, leghemoglobin, yeast extract, salt, soy protein isolate, konjac gum, xanthan gum, zinc and vitamins?”

Sounds more appetising when you give this faux-meat patty concoction the catchy name Impossible Burger and gloss over the fact that genetically engineered yeast is used to harvest the protein (heme), found in the roots of soybean plants, to mimic the taste and bloodiness of meat.

It seems clear that so-called lab-grown or alternative meats are going to be part of the answer to feeding a hungry world population predicted to rise from 7 billion to 9.7 billion people by 2050. But I strongly believe the few commentators who have said these alternatives will spell the end of pastoral-based agriculture in New Zealand are well off the mark.

Silicon Valley and celebrity investors, including our own James Cameron and Sir Peter Jackson, are collectively pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into plant-based meat alternatives.

They like to cite the environmental credentials of plant vs meat proteins, in terms of water

William Beetham FROM THE FARM

and land use and impacts. But they’re basing their comparisons on the industrial-scale feedlots that underpin the USA livestock sector.

Here in New Zealand we have world-leading producers of grass-raised, nutritious, additive and hormone-free red meat grown in a sustainable manner. It’s a story that all of us can proudly embrace and promote.

Unlike the feedlots common in the USA and some parts of Europe, we don’t have vast expanses of entire districts devoted to growing soy or peas or other plant proteins, usually at the expense of balanced biodiversity.

Under our farming systems, we pay a lot of attention to biodiversity. Big chunks of farm properties are often left in native bush, or trees are grown for timber and to sequester carbon.

We still have work to do protecting waterways but we are making good strides in that area.

Greenhouse gases are a challenge for us – but we are also world-leading on that front.

Research reports commissioned by Beef & Lamb NZ found the production of 1kg of NZ beef generates 22kg of CO2 equivalents (methane and nitrous oxide) when the global median is 26.6kg. We produce 1kg of lamb for 19kg of CO2 equivalents; the world median is 25.6kg.

Some environmentalists champion the Impossible Burger, and it’s often environmentalists who express misgivings about GMOs, despite the advantages genetic modification can bring in terms of disease and drought resistance, and the like. Perhaps they’re not aware a GMO yeast is used in the Impossible Burger process.

Air NZ launched its controversial Impossible Burger offer on flights to Los Angeles before the USA’s FDA (Food and Drug Administration) had granted soy leghemoglobin GRAS (generally

recognised as safe) category status. I wonder if the Air NZ board or senior management did any research before adopting their campaign, or did they get all giddy on the Impossible Burger marketing hype?

There’s still a solid global market a long way into the foreseeable future for New Zealand producers of red meat, especially for those consumers willing to pay a premium for meat produced with integrity, animal welfare values and a minimised environmental footprint.

The alternative meat producers can throw billions of dollars at developing and promoting foods that try to mimic the taste of red meat.

But they won’t usurp the Kiwi narrative of sustainable, natural, wholesome foods, and the good people who produce it.

So our real challenge is not alternative meats, but telling our story in a compelling way in more parts of the world.

YOUR VIEW Putting the record straight Purely in the interest of setting the historical record straight I write to correct a few errors related to Ashburton history that appeared in last Thursday’s Guardian.

Sue Newman’s 100 year discrepancy in the K88 story on page 3 was probably a case of fingers outpacing thought.

It was February 6, 1878 that K88 arrived in Lyttelton, not 1978. And the correct spelling of the ship’s name the two locomotives arrived on was Auguste Freiderich.

Murray Anderson’s letter to the editor also had a few historical problems.

Murray said the Ashburton River has had that name from the very beginning. Not correct. For centuries it was known as Hakatere and it was not until 1849 that Captain Joseph Thomas renamed

LETTERS it Ashburton after one of his employers. Thankfully some of the other names he gave did not last.

The Rakaia being renamed the Cholmondely River is one example.

And as for the Ashburton County being created by an Act of Parliament in 1863, it was not until 12 years later, in 1875, that the Abolition of the Provinces Act that created counties was passed.

What happened in 1863 was that the Canterbury Provincial Council, not Parliament, created a Roads Board to cover the area between the Rakaia and Rangitata.

There was no town at that stage – early meetings were held near what became Methven.

That body’s work was entirely related to roads, to the point where, when Ashburton’s first shopkeeper asked for a street to be formed past his store (South Street) he was told the roads

Good on ya!

I am so impressed with what the new man at the top of our police station has done for our town since he has been here.

I walk the streets now not worrying about gangs of little smart arses harassing people and rubbishing our town.

Even the language amongst them has improved making our town a little more respectful for visitors.

A great thank you for targeting and taking in these thieves who can’t go out and make money for themselves and take from other hard workers.

Also, thanks for cleaning up the drug problems before it breeds anymore than the way it was going before.

Was wondering whether we were going to be called Hash Town the way all these potheads were multiplying – there’s no zombies about either.

Let’s hope you get us back to the happy, safe little town we used to be.

We might not have to lock and hide everything we have like back in the good old days. A very big thank you to you and your backups, it is much appreciated.

PS: Maybe you could sort out the fellow, who is in his late 50s early 60s, who has such a bad addiction that he goes around the town picking up cigarette butts (good for cleaning the streets) but not so good when he looks in people’s vehicles and tries to open their doors trying to find a pack of smokes and goodness knows what else when he is at it.

Sadly, these addictions are not so good for the innocent ones.

■ CANTERBURY A&P SHOW

M. bovis threat may mean no show Tim Cronshaw

tim.c@theguardian.co.nz

The Gilbert family is leaning towards not showing their jersey and holstein cattle at Canterbury’s A&P show for the first time in about 50 years because of the threat of mycoplasma bovis.

Rather than putting 100-plus years of jersey bloodlines at risk from the cattle disease, the Mid Canterbury family is considering giving cattle showing a miss.

Their final decision might come down to how many dairy breeders commit to cattle exhibiting.

“We love showing and it’s sort of our passion, but at the end of the day if you don’t have any cows because you have to kill them then we can’t show them,’’ said Nick Gilbert, who runs the family’s Snowfed Farm.

“We might be best to leave it for a year or two but we hope it doesn’t stop cattle showing.’’

Other dairy cattle breeders have decided to pull out of showing because of the risk of losing their herd – culling cattle is part of the Government’s decision to eradicate the disease.

Organisers of the Christchurch event, rebranded New Zealand Agricultural Show and to be held in November, have decided to continue cattle showing as school calf days and other events fold to the threat of the cattle disease.

The cattle showing section will be cancelled at the Ashburton A&P Show and South Island and Hawkes Bay cattle were barred at the New Zealand Dairy Event (NZDE) at Feilding last January.

Only calves will be banned from the Christchurch show, otherwise cattle entries are being accepted.

The Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) has approved systems put in place by organisers to re-

The Gilberts have yet to commit to showing their jersey and holstein cows at Canterbury’s A&P show. duce disease risks inside and outside of the show ring. The bacterial disease needs lengthy exposure between animals to spread.

Gilbert said his great, great grandfather had started the jersey stud in 1900 and the family still had cow family members originating from the bloodlines.

He said there was “no amount’’ of compensation which could recover their loss and there was little point in showing if there were only a few breeders exhibiting cattle.

Snowfed had tested negative for the disease and he wanted to keep it that way, he said.

His parents, Peter and Anne, own Snowfed farm, which he runs at Winchmore, and Glenalla at Rakaia, run by his brother Michael.

Brother Luke also works at the farms.

Event director Geoff Bone said a lot of effort had been put in by the cattle committee, exhibitors and MPI to introduce updated biosecurity protocols.

“We are confident that our newly updated processes will allow for an added layer of security, whilst not impacting on the experience and workload of our exhibitors too heavily.’’

Although calves are banned, junior exhibitors will be able to show yearlings.

In the show ring exhibitors will have two metres separating them from other cattle. Staff numbers will increase to monitor cattle arrivals and their paperwork and on

top of daily cleaning of cattle pavilions, empty pens will separate different breeds. Cows in the dairy section will be accommodated in portable horse boxes.

A MPI spokesman said MPI had worked with the Canterbury A&P Association to develop processes to assist in the safe and successful running of the event.

The Royal A&P Show, hosted by Hawkes Bay, has also made the decision to continue with its cattle section.

MARKET REPORT

BY GUY TRAFFORD The future of sheep farming is increasingly coming under pressure.

Since the halcyon era of the late 70’s and early 80’s numbers have progressively decreased, and as flat land is increasingly becoming irrigated sheep farming cannot compete with more profitable land uses.

One of the ironies is that this includes lamb finishing, which itself is under threat if the breeding flock reduces.

Moving back country, if we listen to and believe what the Productivity Commission think should happen, less productive land will be planted in trees.

Much of this will happen in the North Island where most of New Zealand’s steeper and heavily erodible land exists.

The impact of the increasing demise of the sheep flock will be further reductions in processing plants with resulting redundancies.

While arable, if that becomes the new land use norm, and forestry will no doubt generate some additional employment it is unlikely to be at the same level and with different skills.

However, there may be a potential saviour to those that still wish to pursue goals with sheep.

In the last 10 years or so sheep dairying has emerged as an option in some areas.

Southland with Blue River (now called Antara Ag), Spring Dairy and Maui Milk in the North Island and a number of smaller, artisan-styled sheep dairies, a couple of which exist in Canterbury.

But, by and large, the industry has bypassed Canterbury, despite the fact that over five million breeding sheep still reside here, approaching 20 per cent of New Zealand’s total ewe flock.

Sheep dairying has the potential to be the new dual-purpose sheep industry of the future with meat and milk being the products.

Wool is still produced at levels similar to current systems but with the extremely poor prices being received for crossbred wool over the last few years it is difficult to consider it as a serious economic component of the sheep story.

This is partly why sheep have fallen away from their previous status.

Sheep milk, however, brings with it the benefits all dairy systems have by being able to convert grass to protein and other products, far more efficiently than red meat.

A good milking ewe can produce somewhere in the vicinity of 40kgs of total milksolids plus produce two or more lambs, which, after rearing costs are deducted will return about $80 to $100 each, depending upon the system.

This means a good ewe (not exceptional) may return up to $600 per annum.

As with any high returning system there are costs as well so farmers should not be bedazzled by the figures, but it is worth looking at closer.

To this end a small group in Canterbury have been trying to facilitate the circumstances to get an industry of an export standard established here.

With landowners looking for profitable land uses and milk processors recognising that cow numbers, particularly in Canterbury, may be getting close to maximum numbers, the stars are aligning for the right mix to review sheep milking as a potential industry in Canterbury.

A farmers’ meeting is being held (dates and location to be confirmed) provisionally on September 27 at 7pm at the Darfield Recreation and Community Centre.

The aim of this meeting is to present some information on the nuts and bolts of sheep dairying and discuss potential industry structures to enable farmers to extract fair returns for their products.

To get an export-scaled industry going

H

it is foreseen that a minimum of 30,000 sheep would be required to be farmed in Canterbury.

Confirmation of dates and place will be coming out in the Beef and Lamb newsletter. Hopefully this will be the beginning of the next stage of a resurgence of a sheep industry in Canterbury.

Sheep With the new season’s lambs on the ground or close to it, the flow of last year’s lambs arriving at the saleyards are starting to dwindle.

Prices, especially for store lambs with youth on their side, are particularly good but finished lambs appear to have peaked a couple of week ago.

Alliance have reduced their lamb schedule price by 10 cents per kg along with the mutton price, so prices are starting to slip from their previous highs.

The NZ dollar is expected to weaken further against the US dollar, as are most other currencies’, however, it would be a brave person to bet on what the future is going to look like, especially when Donald Trump is involved.

Wool Wool prices have continued to firm, mainly due to the Chinese demand coming back and of course the falling dollar has helped to underpin returns.

Part of the lift is also likely due to the increased quality of pre-lamb shorn fleeces being sold at the moment and prices may weaken again when the main post lambing fleeces start coming on stream in November.

Cattle Nothing too radical to report on the cattle market at the domestic level.

As with other markets the falling dollar is helping to support local prices.

While overseas, with both the USA and Australia experiencing drought, numbers being slaughtered will be up putting downward pressure on all suppliers.

An observation on the beef schedule is the consistency of the bull price. The schedule hasn’t moved since mid-July, the longest period seen for any class on animal for some time. Alliance trimmed 10 cents off the cow price per kg but by and large the schedules are unchanged.

Venison The shock 10 cent drop last week has not been repeated and the venison price is unchanged.

Dairy The reduction in the Fonterra forecast from $7.00 to $6.75 wouldn’t have surprised many as it always looked a fairly aspirational target not quite rooted in what the markets have been indicating for some time.

Whether further drops will occur is difficult to ascertain, a lot will depend on China, as usual it is seems in the modern economy.

But there appear to be more downsides than ups at the moment.

In brief

■ HAWAII

Fares driven below $500 Promotional Air New Zealand return fares to Hawaii from Auckland have plunged below $500, a quarter of what they were before competition started on the route.

The Flight Centre deal for economy seats includes a bag on select dates between September 17 and November 30.

The agent says the competition on the route – which Hawaiian Airlines shook up when it started Honolulu-Auckland services five years ago – meant travel to the islands was much more accessible.

“Once upon a time Hawaii was a bucket list travel destination for Kiwi travellers and only a few years ago a return airfare would have cost more than $2000 per person.

“Now travellers can grab a return fare for a record low $499 per person ex Auckland,’’ said Sean Berenson, Flight Centre NZ general manager product.

“This current level of competition is unprecedented and we can only advise that Kiwis take advantage of this competitive market place while it lasts.”

Hawaii is suddenly a whole lot more affordable.

The fare is on sale until September 17, unless sold out beforehand.

Hawaiian Airlines’ entry has dramatically shifted the market, which had slowed as more air-

craft flew over the islands since the 1980s.

Since it began flying here, Kiwi arrivals to Hawaii have trebled from just over 20,000 to 68,000 in 2017.

November is a quiet month for travel to Hawaii so Air New Zealand is trying to fill planes.

Flight Centre is also likely to have helped push the price to the record low. Air New Zealand is flying leased Boeing 777s on the Auckland-Honolulu route because up to four of its Dreamliner aircraft have been grounded at any one time due to Rolls-Royce engine problems.

Hawaiian tourism officials are urging visitors to return to the state’s Big Island as the Kilauea volcano calms and some gas emissions are the lowest they’ve been in more than a decade.

The flows – which have expanded the island by the size of 350 rugby fields – had deterred thousands of visitors.

Flight Centre says it is also offering $600 off economy class airfares, or $1500 off premium economy and business class airfares, flying Air New Zealand, to other North and South America destinations including Los Angeles (at $999) and Buenos Aires.

Women’s financial positions are improving slowly but there are still major hurdles when it comes to pay, penalties for becoming a mother and a growing retirement savings gap.

There remains a 9.2 per cent gap between the median pay of men and women but it has fallen from 16.3 per cent in 1998.

Gail Pacheco, a professor in economics at AUT who carried out research on behalf of the Ministry for Women on the reasons behind the gender pay gap in 2016, said it was good to see the pay gap closing.

“When we initially did our analysis [in 2016] regarding how much of the gap can be explained versus unexplained, the gap was 12 per cent – which was a similar level to what it was in 2002.”

But Sue O’Shea, a spokeswoman for the Wellington Pay Equity Coalition, said progress was painfully slow.

“At the current rate of reduction in the gender pay gap, the average women’s pay will be equal to men’s pay in the year 2136, or 118 years from now.”

She also pointed to concerns over Maori and Pacific women who are worse off than Pakeha women.

Household economic data analysed by the Coalition for Equal Value, Equal Pay, shows that in the year to June 2018 Pakeha women had an average hourly rate of $28.38 compared to Pacific women’s $23.01 and Maori women’s average pay of $24.26.

The gap between what the average Pacific woman earns and the average Pakeha man is more than $10 an hour, with Pakeha men on average earning $33.59 an hour.

O’Shea believes combining ethnicity and being a woman is resulting in compounding effects of discrimination.

“For me at the heart of this is discrimination and Maori and Pacific women even more are not being valued in the same way that men in positions of power value each other.”

She says that is why there needs to be a hard look at female dominated occupations to make sure the work they are doing is properly valued.

Pay equity settlements like those in the care workers industry last year will take a big bite out of the gap, she says.

Help for workers Parliament’s education and workforce select committee heeded union submissions on the first tranche of an employment law overhaul which would let the workplace relations minister add new groups to the list of vulnerable employees. The committee, chaired by National MP Parmjeet Parmar, reported back to Parliament on the Employment Relations Amendment Bill last week with several amendments, including a new ministerial power to add, remove or amend the list of workers protected by restructuring provisions.

Summerset bond issue Summerset Group will sell up to $100 million of seven-year fixedrate bonds as it cuts its reliance on bank debt. The retirement village operator and developer announced its planned offer last week. At the time chair Rob Campbell said he was pleased the firm was considering another retail bond issue after raising $100 million in June 2017, with an oversubscription of 33.3 percent. The interest rate for those bonds – which will mature in July 2023 – was set at 4.78 per cent per annum. They last traded at a yield of 3.7 per cent.

Polo proving popular High fuel prices are pushing Kiwis into smaller cars and there are now waiting lists for soughtafter models. A Volkswagen floor salesperson said demand for the VW Polo had been so high recently that buyers face waiting until November to get their preferred colour as petrol price rises begin to bite. This matches up with data from Motor Industry Association (MIA), which shows that VW Polo sales have doubled in three of the last four months.

Manufacturing down New Zealand manufacturing sales volumes posted their biggest quarterly decline in five years as the Marsden Point oil refinery shut for maintenance and an outage reduced output from the Pohokura gas field. The volume of manufacturing sales fell a seasonally adjusted 1.2 per cent in the three months ended June 30, compared to a 1 per cent expansion in the March quarter, Statistics New Zealand said yesterday. The smaller volume was driven by an 8 per cent slide in petroleum and coal product manufacturing sales and a 7.9 per cent decline in chemical, polymer and rubber product manufacturing.

Paper’s name change It was in 1902 that mayor Alexander Hatrick sparked controversy by trying to have an “h” inserted in Wanganui, and have the city revert to “the original Māori mode of spelling”.

He didn’t succeed, and it took until December 2015 for the Whanganui spelling to be made official for the North Island district by then Land Information Minister Louise Upston. It has taken the Chronicle a wee while to adjust, too, but yesterday it became the Whanganui Chronicle, reflecting the name of the district and the correct te reo Māori spelling.

■ BRITAIN

Deep divisions over Brexit The UK is just 200 days away from leaving the European Union, but British politics is riven by disagreements over the country’s future direction.

In a stark warning, former Brexit minister Steve Baker said the Conservative Party faces a “catastrophic split” if Theresa May sticks to her Chequers plan for future relations with the EU. The comments came amid open warfare in the Tory ranks after former foreign secretary Boris Johnson’s likened the government’s Brexit strategy to placing the UK in a “suicide vest” and handing Brussels the detonator.

Baker, who quit in response to May’s plan to keep the UK in a “common rulebook” with the EU for goods and agriculture, has urged her to ditch the policy.

He said the party’s annual conference starting on September 30 could prove a decisive moment as May is forced to acknowledge the scale of grassroots opposition to her proposals.

“If we come out of confer-

ence with her hoping to get Chequers through on the back of Labour votes, I think the EU negotiators would probably understand that if that were done, the Tory party would suffer the catastrophic split which thus far we have managed to avoid,” he told the Press Association.

Home Secretary Sajid Javid said a Canada-style deal has a “lot to commend it”, but it would not address the problem of the Irish border.

In a sign the Government re-

mained committed to its plan, he told BBC’s Andrew Marr Show: “I think the only deal that we’ve got on the table, that’s the Chequers deal.”

The toxic atmosphere between the two wings of the Conservative Party was vividly illustrated in the reaction to Johnson’s Mail on Sunday column.

Condemning the proposals aimed at resolving the Northern Irish border issue, Johnson said: “We have opened ourselves to perpetual political

blackmail. We have wrapped a suicide vest around the British constitution – and handed the detonator to Michel Barnier.

“We have given him a jemmy with which Brussels can choose – at any time – to crack apart the union between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.”

Javid rebuked his former Cabinet colleague, saying “there are much better ways to articulate your differences”.

Sir Alan Duncan, Johnson’s former deputy at the Foreign Office, said: “This marks one of the most disgusting moments in modern British politics.

“I’m sorry, but this is the political end of Boris Johnson. If it isn’t now, I will make sure it is later.”

Across the Commons, Labour too faces a split over Brexit strategy, with Jeremy Corbyn under pressure to commit to supporting a second referendum.

The trade union movement is preparing to throw its weight behind a public vote on the final Brexit deal because of fears the UK is going to “crash out” of the EU. – PA

Denise Richards marries Surprise! Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers got married just two days after PEOPLE exclusively announced their engagement. The whirlwind wedding took place at the weekend in Malibu, with the bride and groom’s closest family and friends in attendance. The upcoming season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will include footage of the wedding, some of which has been released. “Hi, I’m Denise Richards, and yep, the rumours are true: This is my husband Aaron, and we just got married,” said the actress, 47, who joined RHOBH for the show’s upcoming ninth season.

■ CLIMATE CHANGE

Meeting fails to find climate change accord An international meeting in Bangkok has fallen short of its aim of completing preparations towards an agreement in December on guidelines for implementing the 2015 Paris climate change agreement.

The six-day meeting, which ended on Sunday, was scheduled to step up progress in the battle against rising global carbon emissions by adopting a completed text that could be presented at the COP24 conference in Katowice, Poland, three months from now.

A primary objective of the 2015 Paris agreement, to which 190 nations is to limit the global temperature increase by 2100 to less than 2°C and as close as possible to 1.5°C, which is vital to the survival of island nations threatened by rising seas. But the absence of guidelines for

meeting that goal has led to fears that not enough action is being taken.

There have been notable disagreements over fair financing for implementation of the rules by developing countries, and the technical details of their reporting on progress.

Patricia Espinosa, executive secretary for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, said that progress was made on most issues but nothing was finalised.

The meeting was attended by representatives of most of the countries party to the Paris agreement, as well as the United States, which has said that it is pulling out of the pact.

Espinosa said there was “limited progress” on the issue of contributions from developed nations to developing coun-

tries, adding that she is “hopeful” that future discussions will be productive because of the importance of the issue.

“On the core issues of forward-looking climate finance and the degree of flexibility developing countries should be given on the information and reporting requirements for national commitments under the Paris Agreement, negotiators were stalemated in Bangkok,” said a statement from Alden Meyer, director of strategy and policy for the Union of Concerned Scientists, a US-based activist group.

Harjeet Singh, climate policy manager for ActionAid International, said that a vital component of the Paris agreement is for wealthy nations to provide financial assistance to developing countries as they fight natu-

ral disasters brought by climate change.

But he said wealthy and developed countries “led by the United States and including countries such as Australia, Japan and even the European Union” refused to clearly show “how much money they are going to provide and how that is going to be counted”.

Activists were critical of Washington’s lobbying at the meeting.

“The US has announced its withdrawal from the Paris Agreement but still negotiates as if it is a party, weakening international co-operation by not contributing to finance and technology transfer to developing countries,” Meena Raman, legal adviser at Third World Network, said in an emailed statement.

Five dead in Perth homicide Tourists stabbed in Paris attack Three children, their mother and grandmother have been found dead in a house in the Australian city of Perth after a man alerted police, detectives said yesterday.

The children were twin girls aged 2 and their 3-year-old sister, a police statement said. Police have not said how the five died.

A man aged in his 20s alerted police on Sunday morning.

“The man currently assisting police remains in custody,” a police statement said.

Homicide detectives and

specialist forensic police will continue to comb the address in the suburb of Bedford for evidence and clues to what happened.

“That will take a period of time and it could be a number of days,” Assistant Police Commissioner Paul Steel said.

“It is a tragic thing when incidents like this occur. It does send a ripple through the community of Western Australia,” Steele said.

A 24-year-old man has since been charged with five counts of murder.

Two British tourists are said to have been injured by a knifeman who went on the rampage in the centre of Paris before locals playing petanque tried to stop him with boules.

French police have arrested the knife-wielding attacker who injured seven people in the capital, four of them seriously.

The man, who was reportedly carrying a knife and an iron bar, is said to have stabbed three people outside a cinema.

The attacker, was described

as an Afghan national.

A witness playing petanque is said to have made an attempt to foil the attack by throwing a boule at the assailant.

The victims were all rushed to local hospitals, where their conditions were described as “serious but not life threatening”. The attacker is not thought to have been badly injured by officers.

There was no initial sign that the attack was linked to terrorism, a judicial source said.

Third cancer battle Olivia Newton-John successfully fought breast cancer for the first time in 1992 and went into remission. Last year, she revealed that her cancer had returned, this time in the base of her spine. Now, in a new interview, she confesses that her current fight is actually her third cancer battle, as she learned in 2013 that the disease had returned, resurfacing in her shoulder, but decided at the time that she didn’t want to publicly share news of the recurrence. “I thought, ‘It’s my life,’ and I just decided to keep it to myself,” she explained to Australia’s Sunday Night programme.

Roma wins at Venice Roma, Alfonso Cuaron’s intimate, blackand-white portrait of the women who raised him in Mexico City’s turbulent 1970s, has won the top prize at the 75th Venice Film Festival. Cuaron accepted the Leone d’Oro on the day which he said was the birthday of the woman who inspired the lead character Cleo, a young domestic worker with her own troubles amid political strife in the city’s Roma neighbourhood. The jury prize went to The Favourite by Yorgos Lanthimos, Olivia Colman won best actress. Best director went to Jacques Audiard for The Sisters and Brothers. Willem Dafoe picked up best actor for At Eternity’s Gate.

The ’gettes or the ’gists?

BY KATHLEEN STRINGER

A

s the 125th celebration of universal suffrage (or, in many people’s minds, women getting the vote) approaches, we’ve discovered many myths and legends have cropped up over the past century and a quarter.

It is timely to provide a few insights, to allow people to commemorate New Zealand’s achievement in an accurate and meaningful manner.

Abuse and ridicule While what people like Kate Sheppard and Alfred Saunders achieved was sometimes at a high personal cost, with some degree of verbal abuse and ridicule, overall New Zealanders did not see voting women as culturally frightening in the way perceived in England several decades later.

Many will have heard of the Pankhurst family and Emily Davison, the woman who died after being trampled by the King’s horse at the Epsom Derby.

After a number of books and movies, some will be aware of the brutal and extraordinarily harsh treatment that women in Britain endured at the hands of police and prison officials.

Hunger strikes carried out by some women were met with force feeding causing internal injuries and trauma.

These women were termed suffragettes, a word first used in 1906 in England. The label was intentionally demeaning, using the French diminutive ‘ette’ to belittle women in the movement. Just as a ‘kitchenette’ is less than a ‘kitch-

en’, a suffragette was deemed by name to be less than a suffragist.

Kiwi Kate is therefore more correctly labelled a suffragist, a term which can be applied to both men and women. Suffrage comes from the latin word suffragium, which simply means to vote.

The English movement was far more militant and politically inspired than here in New Zealand, where many suffragettes were also members of left wing political parties.

It wasn’t just women asking to vote, they were adding their voice to a slow and painful erosion of the upper classes hold on power.

In Britain universal male suffrage only occurred in 1918 and women were only added as late as 1928! By then, a whole generation of women had added their voice at the ballot box in New Zealand.

Green, purple and white?

British women chose the colours of purple, green and white, as they were the colours adopted by Emmaline Pankhurst’s Women’s Social and Political Union in 1908.

It is widely believed that she adopted the colours of the chartists, who began asking for voting and other rights from the 1830s.

The colours are meant to represent dignity, purity and hope.

Two decades earlier, here in New Zealand there were no definite colours worn.

The highly influential Women’s Christian Temperance Union adopted blue and white so many wore sashes of that colour.

Otherwise the most visible symbol our suffragists employed was a white camellia. Those

parliamentarians who supported the bill were given white camellias to wear, while those who were against were given red ones.

Dress as resistance While most women were content to wear a small token when parading or attending functions, other women took on a more radical dress sense to show their demand for change.

Not just about the vote, many women saw this action as part of a re-examination of the place of women in society. Some who sought to redefine, or abandon, gender roles, or call for a greater freedom of movement for women chose to wear reform or rational dress.

These women were considered very radical as they often cut their hair quite short and took on a masculine form of dress.

Tailored jackets and blouses, that were already becoming fashionable, were accompanied by shorter skirts or bloomer suits (like harem pants with a skirt on top), while others took up smoking.

Women could also often be seen riding bicycles, as that was a visible indication that young women were going places and seeking freedoms not

given to women before.

While dress reform movement wasn’t directly involved with votes for women, it made sense that freedom to vote and make their own choices went hand-inhand with more sensible clothing.

This style of dress allowed women greater movement and did not constrain them as the old fashioned outfits worn over tight corsets, bustles and numerous long layers of heavy fabric did.

Therefore, feel free to celebrate or commemorate women’s suf-

frage, as the suffragists would want. Wear a camellia, don whatever colour you feel appropriate, and in whatever style.

While this year’s celebration commemorates the 125th anniversary of the bill, women’s fight for freedom continued, so maybe you choose to go hippy for the second-wave of feminism in the 1960s and 1970s, or even power dress with shoulder pads like the 1980s.

It’s up to you as, thanks to people who have gone before, you are free to do whatever you wish.

2: Not reform dress but the dress style of the young women was still far more practical than their mothers and, more masculine in styling.

3: Although women won the right to vote and many did, that did not mean that they became visible citizens. In this image of election day 1905, East Street seems devoid of any women.

Cantabrians too good for Mid Canterbury A Mid Canterbury A’s Harry Ashworth attempts to charge down a kick, while Kalle Välimäki awaits the outcome, during their side’s 24-3 loss to the Cantabrians Under-20 side on Saturday. The match was a curtain-raiser to Mid Canterbury’s Heartland Championship match against West Coast, which they won 36-29. The win moved Mid Canterbury’s Heartland side up to third on the competition’s leaderboard behind Wanganui and King Country.

■ INDOOR BOWLS

Wilson grabs podium spot Ashburton indoor bowler Grant Wilson has turned in a strong result at the New Zealand Henselite Singles.

Wilson, representing the Ashburton District, finished in third equal in the premier singles competition which sees district winners from all over New Zealand converge on Feilding for the title of national champion.

The Willowby club member did it the hard way too.

He lost his opening match on Saturday morning which meant to get the required amount of points to qualify for post-section play he was forced to win his remaining three qualifying matches against some quality opposition – a feat which he achieved.

Wilson played highly respected North Taranaki representative Alister Wilson in the last 16 of the competition and was successful in that match to elevate himself into the quarterfinals where he beat North Otago’s Michael Howard 13-6.

In the semi-final he tackled Hutt Valley’s Marcus Triln, but was unable to get past his rival losing 7-12.

Triln went on to win the tournament, and the title, by beating North Wellington representative, Jeff Stuart 13-2 in a one-sided final.

Right – Grant Wilson in action.

There are no false memories in the collective Barrett family treasury and both Beauden and Scott are aware that a ferocious battle with the Springboks looms this week in Wellington.

Both brothers were instrumental in the 57-0 drubbing the All Blacks handed the South Africans the last time they played in New Zealand, but both are just as aware what it took to win that game.

It was a record score and one that plunged South African rugby into a deep state of gloom and ultimately led to a coaching change later that year, but for all that it may have seemed a walk in the park, it really wasn’t.

The All Blacks were in fact second best in most aspects of the contest for the entire first half.

They were not on the front foot physically by any means, were dominated in the territory and possession stakes, yet reached the break 31-0 ahead in Albany.

What separated the two teams were their respective clinical instincts.

The All Blacks had four half chances in the first half and nailed each one in a finishing master class that broke the spirit and resistance of the Boks.

The second half was more of a genuine rout as the Boks lost their shape, but the point both Barrett boys were keen to enforce in Wellington, is that the old enemy won’t fall apart and the All Blacks will have to earn everything they get.

“They were positive memories,” said Beauden of last year’s record victory.

“I remember the excitement of big Brodie’s try and how we felt after that to see him go the way. But I remember that week itself was probably the best week’s prep we have had for a long time.

“And there was that genuine edge around because we knew we were in for a big battle and it was a big battle.

“I remember the first half although we were up heaps on the scoreboard it felt like we’d had to work hard for everything and it hadn’t come easily.

“It was just about taking our opportunities. Simple as that.

“We know they will be coming hard every time we play them so we have to be ready to take our opportunities because in test matches you don’t get many.

We know how desperate they will be so we know we have to not just match them but be hungrier than them.”

That hunger will need to be there as the one certainty about the Boks is that they won’t shirk from the confrontation.

The Boks, even at their lowest ebb, have rarely failed to put up a long and prolonged fight at the coalface and while their performance in Wellington may end up lacking finesse and polish, it is unlikely to lack brutality and crunch.

In brief Johnson under fire A former Warriors coach has predicted the club will not renew high-profile halfback Shaun Johnson’s contract after the 2019 season. Tony Kemp, a former Kiwis standoff, believes the club should begin a big money pursuit of Panthers No. 7 Nathan Cleary, who grew up in Auckland. He also fears the Warriors’ new owners could throw the club off-course and has called on the club to back Steve Kearney and aim for stability within the coaching staff. Kemp did not appear hopeful of them winning a maiden title next year with the erratic Johnson. - NZME

More strife for Sims It was a nightmare Brisbane farewell for Korbin Sims and it could get worse. The departing Broncos prop looks set to miss the start of next season after being hit with a grade two dangerous throw charge in the wake of Brisbane’s humbling 48-18 NRL elimination final loss to St George Illawarra. In a twist, Sims will link with the Dragons next year on a three-year deal. Sims faces a ban of up to three weeks for his first half lifting tackle on the Dragons’ Blake Lawrie.

Baabaas take a try-fest

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

With the Aoraki Cup rugby league competition just days away from starting, Mid Canterbury’s two teams have gone head-to-head in a pre-season clash.

The Ashburton Barbarians hosted the Chertsey Oilers at Robilliard Park on Saturday and it was a try-fest, which eventually went the way of the Barbarians 56-36, giving them a much-needed confidence boost heading into the four-team Mid/South Canterbury competition.

It was the first time the Barbarians had taken to the paddock since their 2018 Canterbury Rugby League division one com-

petition came to a disappointing end, losing to the Woolston Rams in the semi-finals, and for the Oilers it was their first outing of the year.

The Oilers were Mid Canterbury’s newest rugby league club, only formed last year in a bid to grow the game in the district.

They may have been different clubs, but they were working together towards the common goal of growing the game, so they were helping each other, Matt Milne from the Ashburton Barbarians club said.

With the Aoraki Cup taking place so late in the season, the competition provided an opportunity for rugby players who had

finished their club seasons to have a crack at the other code, and many took up the opportunity.

“The Aoraki Cup this year, for the Barbarians, we’ve got a few boys playing for Chertsey and we have had a few retirements and people unavailable,” Milne said.

“We have got a core of our team there and we have got a lot of rugby boys and new guys coming into the fold, so it’s quite exciting to be honest.”

The Aoraki Cup saw the two Mid Canterbury teams and two from Timaru – the Timaru Outlaws and the Country Cowboys – battle it out for supremacy.

The competition gets under way this weekend with a double-

header at Ashburton’s Robilliard Park.

Junior league teams would play a mini-tournament in the morning, before the Oilers took on the Outlaws at 1pm, and the Barbarians took on the Cowboys in what would be a repeat of last year’s final, at 3pm.

The following week the Barbarians and the Oilers would play again, this time in competition, and the following weekend all teams would head to Timaru for another double-header, with the Oilers taking on the Cowboys and the Barbarians playing the Outlaws.

The Cowboys won the Aoraki Cup last season.

St George Illawarra will face South Sydney in a dream semi-final in what shapes as a historic weekend of finals in the NRL era. Not only will it be the first time the Dragons face the foundation club in a finals match since their merger with Illawarra in 1999, but Penrith also have a first finals date with Cronulla in the other semi. The Panthers and Sharks entered the competition in 1967. The heat will be on the Rabbitohs to bounce back after a dramatic 29-28 loss to Melbourne on Friday made it four losses from their last five games.

Holmes a happy Shark Valentine Holmes is feeling the love at Cronulla as the NRL club does all it can to retain the star fullback and ward off interest in his services from North Queensland. He has a career-defining decision to make during the NRL off-season, as he prepares to come off contract at the end of next year. With the Sharks still a chance of winning a second premiership in three seasons, Holmes says he’s feeling wanted after coach Shane Flanagan’s comment that he would sell a level of the leagues club to keep him.

Brisbane toast retiring Thaiday as Broncos bow out

By LainE CLark Mad Monday couldn’t come soon enough for Brisbane who began toasting retired stalwart Sam Thaiday on Suncorp Stadium’s turf soon after they were sensationally knocked out of the NRL finals race.

But the ever bubbly Thaiday couldn’t cheer up the sombre circle the Broncos formed with beers in hand in the middle of the field just hours after being ambushed 48-18 by St George in Sunday’s elimination final boilover.

In fact, even the extrovert Thaiday had to fight back tears when the Dragons rout abruptly ended his 16 season, 304 game career – all with the Broncos.

“It was a very tough game, definitely not the result we wanted,” an emotional Thaiday said.

“I am very disappointed but it has been a fantastic ride, a fantastic journey.

“It’s been an honour and privilege to be able to wear the Broncos jersey for such a long time and we have a good bunch of young kids who will continue that.”

The former Brisbane captain and ex-test prop said he tried to savour every moment of his final game, even as the Dragons started to blow out the scoreline.

“There was a lot of self talk, just trying to enjoy that last little bit – I am going to miss playing footy here,” Thaiday said.

“I was really looking forward to getting out here.

“Even at halftime I felt we were still in the game (trailing 28-10).

“We’ve come back before from that situation but it wasn’t our day.”

Thaiday – the only Bronco still in full players’ kit – still tried to entertain his shellshocked teammates for the last time as they drowned their sorrows in the middle of the deserted Suncorp Stadium on Sunday night.

It was easy to see why Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett said Thaiday would be remembered as “the most popular Bronco”.

“We will all miss him. He’s been great for the club,” Bennett said.

“I will miss him for all the work he does behind the scenes with the young players.”

In brief WTA calls for change The WTA is calling for equal treatment of all tennis players and coaching to be allowed across the sport in the aftermath of the women’s US Open final. Serena Williams was given three code violations by chair umpire Carlos Ramos in her 6-2 6-4 loss to Naomi Osaka.

Though Williams said she never receives coaching during a match, her coach Patrick Mouratoglou acknowledged that he does it and says it’s well known throughout the sport that all coaches do. - NZME

The tennis policeman Serena Williams called him a thief but Carlos Ramos is better known as a chair umpire who is a stickler for the rules, a man who does not bow to reputations. The alleged thief was, until now, better known in tennis circles for strict policing.

The 47-year-old, from Portugal is a veteran official with a well-defined history but he will now be remembered as the target for one of the most famous on-court rants in history. Williams claimed she was the victim of sexism. Chris Evert is among the naysayers claiming: “No sexist issue there. His history with men players shows that.”

■ TENNIS

Giving it a go on court Organisers of Sunday’s Love Tennis open day at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre were blown away by the number of people who turned out to give the sport a go.

The Mid Canterbury Tennis Open Day was part of a Canterbury-wide initiative which saw clubs around the region open their gates to the public at the same time.

In Mid Canterbury both the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre and the Dorie Tennis Club took part in the Love Tennis open day,

which ran from 1pm until 4pm, and by about 2.30pm at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre they had already had more than 100 kids through the gates, plus a number of adults.

Before the event, Mid Canterbury Tennis coach Andre van Rooyen said an open day two years ago attracted around 30 people, and last year’s about 60, so the 2018 version was much bigger.

The day was all about showcasing the sport to newcomers and giving existing players a

chance to dust off their racquets ahead of the 20118/19 season starting.

It featured a range of games and fun activities for kids, and an exhibition match between some of Mid Canterbury’s top players.

Multiple-time Mid Canterbury Tennis Gala Cup winners Peter Leonard and Rhys Cromie teamed up for a fun match against a couple of the district’s most promising youngsters, Sam Bubb and Connor Brosnahan.

The Mid Canterbury Tennis

interclub season was set to start on October 13, but the mid-week social competitions would get under way before that.

The Wednesday night Twilight Tennis competition would start on October 3, and the Thursday night Sunset Doubles competition would begin the following night.

Anyone interested in playing interclub, or in one of the midweek social competitions, could contact their local club or the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre on 3083020.

They say you should never meet your heroes because they’re sure to disappoint you. But the most heartbreaking aspect of Sunday’s extraordinary US Open final against Serena Williams for Naomi Osaka – and the moment which brought her to tears in her postmatch press conference – was that she had to disappoint hers.

Barty, Vandeweghe win Australian tennis star Ashleigh Barty has landed her maiden grand slam title, teaming with American CoCo Vandeweghe to win a thrilling US Open women’s doubles final in New York. Barty and Vandeweghe saved three match points to edge out second-seeded Australian Open champions Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic 3-6 7-6 (7-2) 7-6 (8-6). Barty had lost all four grand slam doubles finals with retired compatriot Casey Dellacqua.

Djokovic takes out US Open for 14th slam title The US Open final appeared to be slipping away from Novak Djokovic when he dropped three consecutive games.

He was angered by a crowd roaring for his popular opponent, Juan Martin del Potro.

He was, in short, out of sorts.

And then came yesterday’s pivotal game, a 20-minute, 22-point epic.

Three times, del Potro was a point from breaking and earning the right to serve to make it a set apiece.

Three times, Djokovic steeled himself.

Eventually, he seized that game and del Potro’s best chance to make a match of it.

A year after missing the tournament because of an injured right elbow that would require surgery, Djokovic showed that he is unquestionably back at his best and back at the top of tennis.

The Serb collected his 14th grand slam title and his second in a row by getting through every crucial moment for a 6-3 7-6 (7-4)

6-3 victory over del Potro.

This was Djokovic’s third championship in New York, along with those in 2011 and 2015, as he drew even with Pete Sampras on 14 majors to be third all time – trailing only Roger Federer (20) and Rafael Nadal (17).

“I was hoping he was going to be here, but he’s not,” Djokovic said about Sampras.

“He’s my idol. Pete, I love you.”

Del Potro was in his first slam final since his 2009 success at Flushing Meadows, after four

wrist operations in the interim.

“I believe he’ll be here again with the champion’s trophy. I really do,” Djokovic said.

Djokovic was better than del Potro on their many lengthy exchanges, with the roof closed because of rain.

“I was playing almost at the limit, all the time, looking for winners and I couldn’t make it because Novak (was) there every time,” del Potro said.

When it ended, thanks to a three-game closing run by Djoko-

vic, he flung his racquet away and landed on his back, arms and legs spread wide.

“When I had the surgery in my elbow this year, I could truly understand what Juan Martin was going through,” Djokovic said.

“Difficult times, but you learn through adversity.

“I try to take the best out of myself in those moments.”

The $3.8 million winner’s cheque lifted him above Federer as the leader in career prize money.

In brief

■ SWORD OF OSMAN

Ruakaka return for top 3YO Quality three-year-old Sword Of Osman will make a return to the racetrack this weekend when he tackles the Gr.3 Cambridge Stud Northland Breeders’ Stakes (1200m) at Ruakaka on Saturday.

Sword Of Osman won on three occasions in his juvenile year, with victory in the Gr.1 Sistema Stakes (1200m) at Ellerslie over stablemate and Champion twoyear-old Avantage the highlight of the campaign.

The son of Savabeel is prepared

by Jamie Richards at Matamata and is being set for the Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai 46th New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton in November.

“He has had two trials to get him ready to return and they have both been pretty good,” Richards said.

“We were keen to get him in

behind a couple and just give him some options.

Hopefully he’s not going to be just one dimensional. He got back and over-raced a little bit in the trials and that’s probably taken the sprint out of him, but we’ve been pleased with him.

“We’ll just try and ride him quietly again on Saturday.

Richards said the gelding would likely take in the Gr.2 Sacred Falls Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m) on October 6, before heading south to the Listed Zacinto Stakes (1600m) at Riccarton on October 27 as the lead-ups to the 2000 Guineas.

“I think the Zacinto is now the form race for three-year-olds for that carnival,” Richards said.

Te Akau Racing have established a fine record in the New Zealand 2000 Guineas with four

One of the more impressive winners on the opening day of the Hawke’s Bay spring carnival was the Jamie Richards-trained Te Akau Shark. The lightly-raced four-year-old resumed with an impressive victory over 1200m and will now return to that venue on October 6. “He will run in the Open 1400m (Gr.3 Red Badge Spring Sprint) on the last day,” Richards said.

probably going to be the only colt we’ll have there at this stage.

“Sword Of Osman is a gelding and he will also head towards the Karaka Million 3YO Classic (1600m) in January before looking at Australia in the autumn”.

Meanwhile, last season’s New Zealand Derby runner-up Mongolianconqueror is another likely to resume at Ruakaka.

“We were going to run him at Wanganui on Saturday, but the track was heavy and then it improved,” Richards said.

“We just thought we’d go to Ruakaka this coming Saturday where he’ll run in the Benchmark Rating 82 1400m with an allowance and that’ll be a nice place to kick him off. We’ve just got to get through Saturday and see how he goes and then finalise some plans from there.”

Rios settles in well Group One-producing sire Rios has settled in well at Upstage Bloodstock, Danica Guy’s Matamata property where he will serve a handful of quality mares in his first season at the boutique operation.

Previously standing at Waikato Stud, Rios was purchased by Guy earlier this year and the Matamata horsewoman is hoping her newly acquired stallion can produce another Group One winner for her.

Guy prepared his son Gaultier to win the 2015 Levin Classic. - NZME

How many words of three or more letters, including plurals, can you make from the five letters, using each letter only once? No foreign words or words beginning with a capital are allowed. There is at least one fiveletter word.

TODAY’S GOALS: Good - 7 Excellent - 9

Previous solution: TSUNAMIS 9

Amazing - 12

11

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): When loved ones struggle to find the right way to tell their story, your talent kicks in. You can help because you see things in people that they do not see themselves.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Your eyes not only complete the smile, they can smile all their own if necessary. Your eyes may reveal a little more than you intend, if only because there’s so much for your mind to keep track of today.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): If your goal happens to be a popular one, it’s a perfect day to assess whether it’s what you really want. Give it more thought to get clear about what would be good to accomplish and why.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Maybe what’s on offer isn’t exactly what you deserve, but forget about that for now. What you need to determine is which available choice is most likely to lead to greater happiness in the future.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): From the Latin word “disciplina,” which means “teaching,” we get the word “discipline.” True discipline, the deep and lasting kind, will be born from education, not punishment.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Play when you get the chance, make the joke, try the weird experiment, approach the stranger with a smile and an outstretched hand. These things require confidence and a good mood. You’ll have both.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’ll soon be hashing out the details of a deal. If you do your homework, you’ll be articulate and persuasive. Take the time to get clear in your own mind what you want and what you’re willing to trade for it.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): It will be important to meet your own expectations. Where you set them, therefore, is key. You want them high enough to help yourself grow, and low enough to let yourself win and stay encouraged.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The ripples that open outward may be gentle yet they affect the distant shore. The same will be true of words.

Seemingly inconsequential comments will linger in memory, and ultimately be acted upon.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’ll be wondering why you agreed to take on a certain responsibility.

What it involves is far more than you expected. But what it gives also will be far more.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’re looking and feeling somehow more alive. Opportunities will be plentiful, but of course you can’t say yes to everything. Focus this surplus of energy.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Someone close (possibly a Capricorn) wants you to do things differently.

You will respect their need to offer an opinion whilst respecting your own need to make choices independently.

FULL STORY P18 PHOTO ERIN TASKER 090818-ET-0053

Calls for life ban Romano Fenati astonishingly tried to grab the brake of another rider at the San Marino MotoGP. Fenati very dangerously tried to grab the front brake of Stefano Manzi’s bike while riding at an incredible 140mph yesterday.

It could have caused serious problems for Manzi, but after his bike shook very briefly, the Italian managed to carry on as normal.

Following the surreal incident on the weekend, Fenati was disqualified from the series’ race as he attempted to overtake his compatriot.

After the race British rider Cal Crutchlow, who finished third, called for a life ban.

“I think he should never race a motorcycle again,” Crutchlow told reporters of Fenati’s actions.

“He should have walked back in his garage, and his team should have just kicked him straight out the back.

“You just can’t do this to another motorcycle racer.

“We are risking our lives enough.

“Sure, maybe there was contact before, but there’s contact all the time.

“To grab the brake lever on the straight, he deserves to just be kicked straight out.”
