New caucus role for Falloon

BY COLIN WILLISCROFT

Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon has been given the portfolio of South Island Regional Development by National Party leader Simon Bridges.

Bridges announced his opposition caucus yesterday afternoon, promoting many new or younger MPs and Falloon was one of those.

In his new role Falloon will work with North Island Regional Development Spokesperson Jonathan Young (MP for New Plymouth since 2008) and Paul Goldsmith (Economic and Regional Development Spokesperson).

Bridges was opposition regional development spokesman until he was elected leader last month and he has said on a number of occasions since then that the area will be a real focus for National, something that Falloon has welcomed.

“I’m really pleased. I was born and bred in Mid Canterbury, and other than a couple of stints in Wellington and London I’m a life-long mainlander. Most of the South Island is growing very strongly, and I want to ensure we see a high level of investment here so that growth continues,” he said.

“There are some areas that have been knocked around a bit over the years,

and Buller District springs to mind with the downturn in the coal price and the departure of Holcim Cement. They’re a pretty hardy lot over on the West Coast so when you’ve got someone like Garry Howard coming to you saying they need some help, you listen.

“We worked closely with them when we were in government to develop the West Coast Regional Development programme, and I’ll continue to do that in opposition.”

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE

Slow progress on rebuild plans

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The need for new and more classrooms might be urgent, but the Ministry of Education has dropped the ball with a rebuild project for Ashburton College, says principal Ross Preece.

Since 2015 the college building project has been on the drawing

board but thanks to a ministry oversight it is now running at least six months behind schedule, he said.

“Initially they promised we’d hear in September and now they’re saying it’ll be another three months. The clock’s ticking and with next year’s student intake we’ll hit the start of the big

bubble with more than 300 Year 9s coming in.”

None of the new build would be in place by next year, Preece said.

“Rooming is already tight and it will become even tighter.”

The scale of the college project meant it would need to be signed off from the Minister of Education, but Preece said he’d been

assured this would more of a formality because the case was well prepared. In the past the ministry delivered something of a onemodel-fits-all in terms of school buildings, but now schools were having significant say in building configuration and that meant the college would be able to achieve a rebuild that would work with its

curriculum reforms as well as taking into account what the college and education would look like in the future.

“Yes. We’ve lost six months on this but if we get what we’re hoping for it’ll be worth the wait.”

He’s optimistic that some of the new build will be in place for the start of the 2020 school year.

■ MAYFIELD A&P SHOW

Tractor pull draws crowds at Mayfield show

By ColiN williSCroft

colin.w@theguardian.co.nz

Everything came together perfectly to deliver a fantastic Mayfield A&P Show on Saturday, organisers say.

“It went very, very, well,” A&P association president Martin Fleming said.

“The day was one out of the box, incredible weather-wise, and the tractor pull was amazing.”

Although unsure of the exact number of people who came through the gate, Fleming said it was well up on previous years.

Traditional events like the pig racing again proved popular, but it was the tractor pull that was a real crowdpleaser, he said.

“It was very popular,” he said, adding it was hoped that the event would be run at future shows.

Between 30 to 40 tractors took part, including six in the modified section.

One machine that attracted a lot of interest was a Southland-based 2000 horse power tractor that runs on methanol. Fleming said it goes through 17 litres of methanol in 18 seconds.

“The petrolheads that were watching, they were just like little kids,” he said.

Fleming said he was indebted to the organising committee, a team of willing helpers on the day and great support from local business, all of which made for a successful show.

“The sun came out and everything lined up.”

■ FISH SCREEN PROPOSAL

Ashburton Guardian

3

■ NATIONAL

Positive response to proposal New

By Colin WillisCroft

Colin.w@theguardian.Co.nz

A resource consent application

by Rangitata Diversion Race Management to install and operate a new fish fence as part of its Klondyke Storage Pond project has been met by a largely positive response.

Resource consent application for the $265 million project was lodged in 2016, with plans for a rock bund gallery to keep fish out, but the company continued to research other options.

A second suite of applications were notified by Environment Canterbury and the Ashburton District Council in January this year, which related to an alternative fish screen design, plus additional applications for the use of water for storage and the use of

flood-flow waters.

Those new applications followed an RDR-led trip to the United States last year, which was made in conjunction with a civil engineer, a fresh water ecologist, North Canterbury Fish and Game and an ECan compliance officer, to investigate the best technologies for excluding fish.

RDR chief executive Ben Curry said the second consent application received 46 submissions from the general public and most supported the new design.

“The company has spent considerable time and effort researching internationally the best practice screening technologies and the proposal RDRML are putting forward will meet, and most likely exceed, the New Zealand fish screening performance

design guidelines developed by ECan, Fish and Game, Irrigation NZ and the Department of Conservation,” Curry said.

“The US screening authorities our travelling party visited last April do not require screens, which meet the design standard, to be routinely monitored. On installation, screens need to be verified to ensure they are operating as per the design but once this has been established the monitoring requirement is reduced to calibration checks every year or two. This is one of the outcomes the NIWA Fish screening guidelines aim to achieve.”

According to Canterbury salmon fisherman Paul Hodgson, the proposed rotary fish screens look like the best thing since sliced bread. Paul has carried out his

own extensive research and followed the fish screening consent process very closely. He is confident that based on the international scientific information available “the USA designed rotary fish screens look like the way to go”. “Applying the science, and not just some of the science, gives us the best chance for success and anglers are looking for this type of technology to become the benchmark for best practice of fish screening nationally.

“All the fish need to remain in the river and any fish removed from the river need to be returned unharmed to the main stem of the same river. The commissioning process needs to verify that the USA rotary design of fish screen works in New Zealand conditions,” Hodgson said.

Good turnout to Women’s Day breakfast More than 250 women attended a special breakfast on Saturday at Hotel Ashburton to mark International Women’s Day. Organised by the Zonta Club of Ashburton, the event attracted women from around Mid Canterbury, Timaru and Christchurch, club president Stephanie Butchard said.

Guest speaker Michelle A’Court went down particularly well, Butchard said.

“She was so funny, she just about had us rolling in the aisles.

“She’s very clever and a stalwart supporter of women’s rights and equal pay. She was just the right person to have speaking.”

The club runs the annual breakfast to highlight International Women’s Day and to acknowledge women’s achievements, Butchard said. It also aims to promote the empowerment of women, to help them reach their full potential, she said.

“But it’s also about having fun. We want women to go away on a high and they really do.

“We all had a really good laugh.”

Butchard said next year it will be 100 years since Zonta was formed in Buffalo, New York by a group of university women.

Today the club has more than 30,000 women members in 66 countries around the world.

THE

caucus role for Falloon

From P1 Falloon said in finalising his new team Bridges had indicated that he was interested in hard work and potential, something that sat well with him.

“I’ve always worked hard and I’ll continue to do that. He’s set the bar very high for me and for the rest of our team, because that’s what New Zealanders expect from us.”

However, his new role would not detract from what he was elected to do.

“My most important job in parliament will always be as our local MP, I wanted a role that would complement that rather than distract from it, and that’s what I’ve got. I’ve worked with Simon closely on regional development issues since I was elected in September and I’m happy I get to keep doing that, it’s important issue for our area.

“There’s a range of different issues across the South Island, but nearly everywhere is looking for more skilled staff, so number one is ensuring we’re training enough people for the jobs that are available, and where we still have shortages, to plug those with labour from elsewhere, whether that be other parts of New Zealand or other parts of the world.”

Infrastructure was also an issue, he said.

“With the growth of the primary sector in recent years, and in tourism, there’s a lot more traffic on our roads, so we absolutely have to keep investing in our transport network to keep our economy moving.”

In brief

■ ROAD TOLL

Horror weekend on roads

One person was arrested after police were called to a street fight in Moore Street, Ashburton, around 10pm on Saturday. Later that night, around 1.20am, police attended a crash after a vehicle went down a back on Fords Road, near Ashton. The car was damaged but no serious injuries were reported.

ers had serious injuries.

One patient was airlifted to Auckland hospital and two others were flown to Whangarei Hospital.

A police spokeswoman said just one vehicle was involved in the crash, which happened on Peter Snell Road. The vehicle had driven off the road.

These crashes followed five earlier fatal crashes.

The first person killed was a man who died in a single-vehicle crash on Mountain View Rd in Hikurangi, Northland, just before midnight on Friday. Two people received minor injuries.

Seven hours later two people died when a truck and a van collided in the central North Island at 6.40am on Saturday.

The crash happened at the intersection of State Highway 47 and SH48, the same place a bus crashed down a bank 14 months ago, injuring 14 tourists and the driver. Two people died and a third was flown to Auckland Hospital in a serious condition after two cars crashed on State Highway 10 about 2.20pm, north of Kaeo, in the Far North on Saturday.

- NZME

The crash will be investigated and the Independent Police Conduct Authority has been notified.

Johnson said he understood the pursuit was still in progress when the crash happened.

The authority and police are already reviewing police pursuits nationwide after a series of fatal crashes.

The review aims to understand pursuit environments and how police manage them.

On average, about 10 drivers flee police every day. Between October 2016 and September last year, seven deaths and 552 crashes were recorded.

The review will examine about 75 police pursuits which were reported to the authority last year, and a 10 per cent random sample of 200 other chases.

The report is expected to be released later this year.

Three people are also in hospital with injuries after a crash in Northland. A St John helicopter rushed to the scene in Ruakaka shortly before midnight and a crew treated the injured parties.

One person was critically injured in the crash, and two oth-

Two cars collided on State Highway 6 near Clover Road at about 5.40am yesterday.

Police have confirmed they tried to stop a vehicle on nearby Gladstone Road.

“The car failed to stop and fled towards State Highway 6, overtaking a truck and moving onto the wrong side of the road where it crashed into another vehicle that was travelling north,” Superintendent Mike Johnson said.

“Tragically three people have died as a result, two of the deceased were from the fleeing vehicle and the third person was an innocent member of the public.

“An outcome like this is the last thing police want to see.”

Johnson said next of kin were still being notified of the crash.

“We now have three families who have lost members and our thoughts are with them during this difficult time.”

Johnson said this kind of incident was “extremely testing” for police, who aimed to protect their community.

“They are fast-moving, unpredictable and high-pressure situations that require quick judgements.”

Drivers are being urged to slow down, be patient and drive to the conditions after another horror weekend on the roads.

Police national manager for road policing Superintendent Steve Greally said a number of people had tragically lost their lives on the roads at the weekend.

A driver fleeing police near Nelson caused a crash in which three people died.

This brought the year’s road toll to 77 – nine more than at the same time last year.

“There has been a rise in the number of people losing their lives on our roads,” Greally said.

“This is particularly tragic, especially for their whanau ... people presumably of good health, they had a future yesterday, but now they are gone.”

Greally said the crashes were often a result of poor decision making, and failure to drive to the conditions.

“We’ve got to adjust the way we behave on our roads, it’s not too difficult,” he said.

He said the high road toll would have left families, friends and loved ones dealing with loss.

Local women artists feature

The walls of the Ashburton Art Gallery are currently paying homage to the power of local women in the arts.

For the remaineder of this month, the 33 finalists of this year’s Zonta Ashburton Female Art Awards (ZAFAA) are on display, along with a solo exhibition from the winner of last year’s awards, Fiona van Oyen.

In an awards ceremony held last week, Emma Fitts walked

away with the 2018 premier prize and the opportunity to host her own solo show, with her piece Unknown Cloak, which judges applauded for “its ability to push and pull the viewer into different directions”.

Emma Mealings walked away with the 2018 Young Generation Award and a $500 cash prize for her artwork Summer Holidays!, which judge Felicity Milburn said “combines a strong concept with a good understanding of how this might be resolved in mate-

rial form”. At the awards, Milburn also acknowledged this year as a significant one for New Zealand women, as it marks the 125th anniversary of the universal women’s suffrage being passed into law.

She acknowledged how the ZAFAA award embodies a similar spirit to the suffrage movement.

Milburn said the awards gave “confidence in women to contribute and excel, and the desire to give them the chance to stand in their own patch of sunlight”.

Alongside the 2018 finalists, 2017 ZAFAA premier winner Fiona van Oyen has unveiled an exhibition entitled Memory of Place Takes Flight.

It comprises of a collection of meditative and arresting pieces which extend the concept of her winning multi-panel artwork called “I think this is my garden…”.

Both exhibitions will be on show until March 31.

OUR VIEW

Out with the old, in with the new T

he reshaping of the National Party’s parliamentary look has continued, with new leader Simon Bridges putting his stamp on proceedings with a new line-up.

It’s largely a case of out with the old and in with the new, with some notable exceptions.

First-up, there’s the front bench.

After being named as Finance Minister last week, Selwyn MP Amy Adams was regarded as pretty much a shoo-in for the spot at number three, behind Bridges and deputy leader Paula Bennett, which proved to be the case.

Given Adams pushed Bridges close for the leader’s role, having her so high in the ranks might be seen as a bit of a gamble, but she’s a proven performer in the House and there’s the old adage of keep your friends close and your enemies closer. That also applies to

the fourth-ranked Judith Collins, who apparently had wide support among the party’s rank and file for the leader’s job.

In her new Housing and Urban Development role she’ll be coming up against Labour’s Phil Twyford, a sure sign the Nats see some room there to score some political points.

One thing you can be certain of, Collins won’t be backward about coming forward and Twyford will surely know he’s in for a few scraps over coming months.

With Todd McLay, relatively fresh-faced despite the fact he’s

been around parliament for a while, coming in at number five and picking up Foreign Affairs from Gerry Brownlee, Bridges has managed to put forward a front bench that despite having a relatively young new look, actually contains decades of parliamentary experience, something that will be necessary as the opposition looks to keep the government honest.

We also shouldn’t forget another leadership contender, Mark Mitchell, has picked up the weighty portfolios of Justice and Defence, along with Disarmament.

There have of course been casualties, particularly among the old guard.

Most notable are former cabinet ministers Brownlee and David Carter, who fall to numbers 11 and 22 respectively in caucus rankings.

In 1993, a series of bombings in Mumbai, India, killed 257 people (the explosions were allegedly masterminded by India’s most wanted man, Dawood Ibrahim).

Ten years ago: Space shuttle Endeavour docked with the international space station, kicking off almost two weeks of demanding construction work.

Lance Mackey won his second consecutive Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, completing journey in just under 9½ days.

Five years ago: Black smoke

poured from the Sistine Chapel chimney, signalling that cardinals had failed on their first vote of the papal conclave to choose a new leader of the Catholic Church to succeed Benedict XVI. One year ago: A bus plowed into people taking part in an early morning street festival in Haiti, killing at least 34 of them.

Today’s birthdays: Politician, diplomat and civil rights activist Andrew Young is 86. Actress Barbara Feldon is 85. Broadcast

Colin Williscroft SENIOR REPORTER

It certainly looks like the end is nigh for the duo but given their close association with the John Key era, that should come as no surprise. Bridges has long indicated it’s time for what he has described as a generational change and like it or not, Brownlee and Carter are not part of that generation.

There’s been other less highprofile losers, including former conservation minister Maggie Barry, who openly supported Adams in the leadership race.

Barry drops to 24, picking up the portfolios of Seniors, Veterans and Associate Health in the process.

Bridges’ full list sees a number of backbenchers picking up portfolios, including Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon, who picks up South Island Regional Development. It’s just reward for Falloon, who hasn’t really put a foot wrong

on an electorate level since being elected last year and also sits on the Justice Select Committee.

His star is definitely on the rise within National’s ranks, unlike fellow opposition backbencher Chris Bishop, like Barry a public supporter of Adams. While a number of backbenchers were given portfolios, Bishop was not.

Whether that’s because he’s not rated by Bridges or he’s being punished is not clear, but neither reason will sit well with the Hutt South MP, something he’ll have time to ponder.

However, for the majority of his colleagues, the hard work is set to begin.

They won’t want to waste much time settling into their new roles if they want to take the government to task and give themselves every opportunity of a speedy return to the treasury benches.

The whim of the biscuit tin T

he Biscuit Tin of Democracy might sound like a pretty dubious title for an institution of Parliament.

And yet, every few weeks, nervous MPs, media and assorted onlookers gather in the hallowed halls of our house of representatives to watch bingo chips be drawn from a biscuit tin.

You might reasonably ask for what possible purpose.

Every member of parliament who is not a Minister is entitled to enter one piece of legislation into the member’s ballot.

It determines what legislation is debated every second Wednesday that parliament sits, called Member’s Day, which gives any MP a chance to have legislation passed through Parliament.

To decide which Bills are debated, they have to be drawn from – you guessed it – a biscuit tin.

Some of the most important and controversial legislation our country has seen was introduced by way of a Member’s Bill.

• Homosexual Law Reform in the 1980s.

• Anti-Smacking Legislation.

• Marriage Equality just a few years ago.

• And even more recently, Euthanasia.

My first member’s bill is not quite dramatic as those, and I hope, not quite so controversial.

I’ve long been frustrated by our justice system, and some of the inequities that occur in sentencing, particularly for victims.

One of the most egregious examples is concurrent sentencing, which al-

Andrew Falloon

YOUR MP - WORKING FOR YOU

lows for sentences for different crimes to be served at the same time rather than added up.

In some circumstances it can be argued that concurrent sentencing makes sense, particularly where a series of crimes are committed as part of a single act or event.

If a person

was to drink too much, drive dangerously and cause a person to die, I don’t propose that person should receive three sentences for those three crimes to be served consecutively.

But that logic doesn’t apply in other instances.

The law as it stands allows for a person to commit a crime, be arrested, go to court and be placed on bail, and then go on to commit another entirely unrelated crime, and receive no additional sentence at all for that subsequent crime.

My bill would abolish concurrent sentencing for a subsequent crime committed while on bail.

It would mean that anyone who commits a crime while on bail would be required to

serve the time for their additional crime.

It would mean there’s a disincentive for committing further crimes while on bail, offenders wouldn’t receive a discount on their sentence.

It’s a logical change, but as one of many MPs, I’m at the whim of the biscuit tin.

So if you’re ever in parliament, hear a distant rattle followed by a procession of gloomy looking MPs, now you know why.

And why a biscuit tin?

Nobody knows. Parliament is a bit weird, after all.

Eyesore Have you been along Elizabeth Street lately and sighted the new block at the hospital? What an eyesore. Perhaps I am not up with the latest architectural designs but that looks terrible to me.

Is longrun roofing cheaper than traditional cladding?

It looks as if the place has partly collapsed, and the roof is now the frontage. I would say “sack the architect”.

Army vet kills three Three women, including one who was pregnant, who devoted their lives to helping traumatised US veterans have been killed by a patient who had been kicked out of their Northern California treatment programme.

A daylong siege at The Pathway Home ended on Friday evening with the discovery of four bodies, including the gunman.

Officials named the gunman as Albert Wong, 36, and said he had served with the US Army on active duty from May 2010 to August 2013 and spent a year in Afghanistan.

He received four medals including an Afghanistan campaign medal and was awarded an Expert Marksmanship Badge with Rifle, the Pentagon said on Saturday.

Investigators were still trying to determine when and why Wong killed two executives and a psychologist at The Pathway Home, a nonprofit post-traumatic stress disorder program at the Veterans Home of California-Yountville in the Napa Valley wine country region.

It was “far too early to say if they were chosen at random” because investigators had not yet determined a motive, California Highway Patrol Assistant Chief Chris Childs said.

Governor Jerry Brown ordered flags flown at half-mast at the Capitol in memory of the victims.

They were identified as The Pathway Home Executive Director Christine Loeber, 48; Clinical Director Jennifer Golick, 42; and Jennifer Gonzales, 29, a clinical psychologist with the San Francisco De-

Picture-perfect price A Leica camera from 1923 has sold for a record 2.4 million euros ($NZ3.85 million) at auction in the Austrian capital Vienna, according to the Westlicht museum. The museum attributed the “remarkable” sum to the “fantastic” original condition of the Leica 0-series No. 122. “It is the highest price ever paid for a camera at an auction,” said a statement on the website of the museum, where the piece was auctioned. The camera was made two years before the first Leica was put on the market, and is one of three test cameras known to be in their original condition, according to the Westlicht.

Ernest Leitz produced 25 test cameras during that time.

“The three women that were lost yesterday dedicated their lives to helping our veterans. They lived their lives selflessly to serve others,” Yountville Mayor John Dunbar, who is also a board member of The Pathway Home, said Saturday.

Jailed for mistreating teens Investigation A US woman has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for the mistreatment of seven special needs teenagers found in 2016 locked in a room strewn with human waste.

Fifty-five-year-old Paula Sinclair has been sentenced in a Texas court after pleading guilty to several counts of causing serious bodily injury to a child.

The teens found in the Richmond, Houston, home ranged in age from 14 to 16 years old. Authorities say they were fed

two daily meals of rice and beans and disciplined for things like making too much noise.

Sinclair and a former husband adopted the children in 2003 and 2004 and had been their foster parents.

Sinclair was arrested along with her husband, 79-year-old Allen Richardson, who is being held at the Fort Bend County jail on charges that include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

British police investigating the suspected nerve agent attack on a Russian ex-spy and his daughter have identified more than 240 witnesses and 200 pieces of evidence.

British Home Secretary Amber Rudd revealed the scale of the probe as investigators are said to have found traces of a chemical weapon at the Zizzi restaurant in the southern English city of Salisbury.

The eatery was hidden from view behind hoardings at the weekend as officers returned to search for evidence, with the BBC later reporting the nerve agent was detected in one part of the premises.

Spy Sergei Skripal, 66, and daughter Yulia, 33, are said to have eaten at Zizzi in the hours before they were taken ill last Sunday afternoon.

Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey, who fell seriously ill after tending to the pair, released a statement from hospital saying “he does not consider himself a hero” and was “merely doing his job”.

Cordons remain in place at a host of locations across the city, including Skripal’s house and the cemetery where his wife and son are buried.

Skripal and his daughter are still fighting for their lives after being exposed to a toxic substance.

Police said 21 people had been seen for medical treatment since the incident.

Apology for SBW masks An apologetic Cricket South Africa (CSA) is in damage control over a photograph showing two of its officials posing with fans wearing Sonny Bill Williams masks in Port Elizabeth. An image has emerged of Clive Eksteen and Altaaf Kazi grinning with three supporters, who donned the masks in an oafish attempt to taunt David Warner during the second Test.

Eksteen is CSA’s head of commercial and marketing, while Kazi is the body’s head of communications. CSA is probing the matter. Both officials are under investigation for associating themselves with the unsavoury attempt to embarrass Warner and wife Candice, who had attended day one at St George’s Park with the couple’s two children. Candice had a tryst more than 10 years ago with Williams.

Kathy Griffin

New show for Griffin US comedian Kathy Griffin is embarking on her comeback, some nine months after she provoked outrage – and lost much of her work – by posing with a fake severed head that appeared to depict President Donald Trump. Griffin announced on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher that she had just booked upcoming shows at New York’s Carnegie Hall and at Washington’s Kennedy Center – “Trump’s backyard,” she called it. “I’m dipping my toes into touring again,” Griffin said.

■ IRELAND

Dancing in the streets at the Ulster American Folk Park, about an hour from Lough Erne in Omagh.

Tracing roots of the New World

By SioBhan StarrS

W

e stood at the bar of the grand Lough Erne Resort, looking out at the driving rain.

“You see that lake out there,” mused the barman wryly. “That was a field this morning.”

This was my first trip to Northern Ireland’s lake lands in the western region, two hours by car from Belfast and a slightly longer drive from Dublin. We had rented a two-bedroom static caravan – what Americans call a mobile home – on the shores of Lower Lough Erne last summer. It was just the right side of cosy for me and my partner Matthew, and our six-year-old daughter Kitty.

Our verandah overlooked the larger of two interconnecting lakes that comprise Lough Erne.

Speed boats and jet skis often zipped past.

But the changeable weather meant we enjoyed a week of sunshine and showers, often at the same time. We also had an opportunity to sightsee and glimpse history, from centuries-old Christian ruins to a park that tells the

story of the mass migration of the 18th and 19th centuries – including the roots of a famous and wealthy American family.

As soon as the winds subsided, we hired a little boat and set off to explore. We landed at White Island, home to ruins of an ancient church built around the year 1200. Its Romanesque archway remarkably remains intact.

Among the ruins we found more treasures: six sculptures depicting early Christian figures.

One figure holds a shepherd’s crook (crozier) like a bishop, and is believed to represent St Patrick.

Archaeologists think another depicts Christ. The unusual artworks are thought to date from the ninth to 11th centuries.

On this isolated island I felt like I was the first person to discover them. The glimpse of medieval Ireland and early Celtic Christianity was a real thrill.

We also visited a living museum called the Ulster American Folk Park, about an hour from Lough Erne in Omagh. Buildings from across the province of Ulster and from around the US have been carefully rebuilt or replicated here

to help illustrate the stories of the many families who left in the 18th and 19th centuries for a better life in the New World.

Those stories include the remarkable odyssey of the Mellons. Their original homestead is the museum’s centre, and their descendants remain among America’s wealthiest families.

The Mellons were fairly well-off tenant farmers when they decided to emigrate in 1818, several decades before the Great Famine that decimated the countryside.

Their son Thomas was just five years old when the Mellons left.

The family eventually settled in the town of Export, Pennsylvania, where their large six-room, log farmhouse still stands. The Ulster American Folk Park boasts a replica of that building.

Thomas became a lawyer, then a banker founding T Mellon & Sons in 1869, today part of BNY Mellon. Thomas’ son Andrew, a banker, industrialist and philanthropist, became secretary of the US Treasury in 1921. A school that he founded is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh.

Get revved up with Guardian Motoring.

Every Friday in your Ashburton Guardian.

But the Mellons’ affluence was not the usual migrant story. More typical was a one-room thatched cottage with a mud floor at the Folk Park, representing the home of a fictional family of poor farm labourers, eight children and their parents. They ate potatoes for every meal.

In 1845, the potato harvest began to fail. By the time the Great Famine ended in 1852, a million people had died and another million had emigrated to England, Scotland, South Wales, North America and Australia. Many ended up in the US, where 10 per cent of the population is estimated to have Irish ancestry – including a number of US presidents, most recently Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

Other houses representing American homes tell stories of real families like the Mellons with connections or roots in Ulster.

The townland became a village with a replica pub, drapery, pharmacy and rope-makers.

At the far end of the main street we entered the dockside gallery, which contains a life-size replica of a ship. A fare of $US5 would

purchase one-way passage to a new life in America. But this was not the Titanic: There were no luxuries onboard. Around 200 people and their belongings spent the duration of the six- to 12-week journey, four to a berth, in the area between decks of the 30-metre vessel.

As we traced the migrant experience, wandering from thatched cottage to school house, forge and church, our senses were assaulted by the smell of musty quilts, baking bread and smouldering turf. Chatty guides in costume explained their chores, baking soda bread over an open fire, spinning sheep’s wool into yarn and creating smelly candles from animal fat.

When we entered the New World section of the park, the clouds momentarily parted and an American visitor quipped, “The sun always shines in the New World!”

Well, the sun often shines in Ulster, but the first rule of packing for a holiday in Northern Ireland, is bring your wellies as well as your sunglasses, as the weather likes to dance across the sky - AP

In brief Barnstorming Bairstow Jonny Bairstow’s barnstorming form has continued with a serieswinning century for England in their seven-wicket win over New Zealand in the fifth one-day cricket international. Bairstow and Alex Hales set up the win with an imperious 155-run opening stand at Hagley Oval on Saturday. The win secures a 3-2 win for England in the five-match series, and gives the visitors added momentum to take into the first test in Auckland from March 22.

Brass band stops play Brassed-off umpires summoned match referee Jeff Crowe to the field in Port Elizabeth on Saturday, but it was noise coming from the stands – not the slips cordon – that concerned them. The controversyplagued test series between Australia and South Africa has kept officials busy, with Kagiso Rabada the fourth player to be charged.

Both sides were OK with the level of noise, with one Australian heard on stump microphones asking “what’s the drama?”.

Test ban looming

Hooper turns on fireworks

South Africa are set to be without Kagiso Rabada for the third and fourth tests against Australia, with the spearhead charged after making contact with Steve Smith in Port Elizabeth. There will be a hearing after play on day two of the second test, with Rabada to miss the rest of the series unless the Proteas successfully have the charge of “inappropriate and deliberate physical contact” downgraded. Repeat offender Rabada already has five points on his record, which is why he is likely to be an enforced omission for games in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Lauriston’s Alex Hooper turned in a man-of-the-match performance in Mid Canterbury senior cricket on Saturday, helping his side beat Allenton and progress to the final of the Muirhead Rosebowl.

Hooper scored 109 not out with the bat and was equally devastating with the ball, claiming five wickets in his nine over spell.

Allenton won the toss and decided to field and it looked to be the right decision with Lauriston on the ropes at 29/6 in the 17th over, the pitch officially damp.

Openers Scott Maher and Scott Morgan were gone for 2 and 7 respectively, thanks to the bowling efforts of brothers Dylan and Ryan Stoddart.

Another set of brothers, Luke and Nick Gilbert, were also unseated by Ryan Stoddart and when Ryan Bell bowled Bevan Richan and Rob Hooper for 4 and 3, no Lauriston batsman had passed seven runs.

But number seven batsman Dan O’Brien and Alex Hooper, number eight, then staged a 113run partnership lasting 25 overs and effectively saving Lauriston’s butt.

It was broken when O’Brien was caught by Josh Buchanan off the bowling of Bell in the 42nd over.

O’Brien, on 39, was content to let Hooper have the strike and the talented all-round sportsman had hit 11 sixes and three fours when Lauriston’s 45 overs were up, leaving his team on 192/8.

Ryan Stoddart was the most economical of the Allenton bowlers with 3/24 off nine overs, followed by Bell 3/32 and Dylan Stoddart 2/56.

Josh Worsfold and Jordan Bird opened the batting for Allenton, but Bird was out without a run in the second over. Bell hit 21 off his 42 balls before exiting, bringing Matt Tait to the crease.

He added a much needed 27 before being bowled by Hooper.

Allenton captain Jeff Naish, a

valiant campaigner all season, was the top scorer with 47 not out, and a 76-run partnership with Jack Dudley down the order gave Allenton hope they might actually achieve the target.

But when Dudley departed, off the bowling of O’Brien, Naish quickly ran out of partners.

Hooper’s 5/24 was the most economical, while O’Brien’s 3/24 was almost as good. The other wickets were taken by Tom Innes and Ruben Early.

A damp wicket also made life interesting in the other Muirhead Rosebowl semi-final, which produced an upset win by Coldstream over unbeaten Tech.

Coldstream won the crucial toss and put Tech in to bat. When openers Callum Gallagher and Hayden Sinclair departed on nine and three respectively, Tech were two wickets for 18 runs with nine overs gone; Josh Colgan was out for one caught by Deon Biggs off the bowling of Jackson Print not long after.

Harry Jones 13 and Sam Ben-

nett 27 did their best on a minefield pitch but when Jones was caught out of his crease in the 27th over, Tech was 65/4.

There was more carnage in the over when Jay Houston bowled Josh Barnett for no runs.

Bo Houston followed with a maiden over, then Houston struck again in the 29th with Oliver Adlam caught behind.

Bennett departed on the first ball of the 30th over off Bo Houston’s bowling, the run tally static for four overs. Tech’s tail eked out another few, but they were all out for 76 in the 34th over.

Jay Houston’s five wickets for two runs was the highlight of Coldstream’s bowling attack, with the rest of the wickets spread around.

The chase needed patience and, as it turned out, not so many runs with Tech’s bowlers contributing 19 wides.

Bo Houston was the best of Coldstream’s batsmen, helped by Rob Coyle 11 and Shaun Burgess 16.

The White Ferns have completed an ODI clean sweep with a comprehensive 205-run win over the West Indies in the third and final match at Hagley Oval yesterday. Sent in to bat after West Indies skipper Stafanie Taylor won the toss, the New Zealanders racked up 310-5 then smothered the Windies run chase with a disciplined bowling performance.

The West Indies were bowled out for 105 in 34.5 overs, allrounder Sophie Devine leading the way with 3-24 off 5.5 overs.

competition. The first part of the season would be pool play, with the best performers making up division one and the others division two for the second half of the season.

The 2018 side has focus firmly on this year’s contest though and will be one of four combined sides in the competition.

Formerly the Press Cup, the prestigious competition has been running since 2001 – Christchurch Boys’ High have dominated with 10 wins, while St Bede’s have won it five times and Nelson and Marlborough once each.

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton College’s first XV rugby team will kick off its 2018 UC Championship campaign with a trip to Blenheim to play Marlborough Boys’.

The side will again include several players from Mt Hutt College and be known in the secondary school competition as Mid Canterbury Combined.

Ashburton College principal Ross Preece said Blair O’Donnell has been appointed coach recently and the group was already working hard pre-season on fitness and skills.

The combined side will play Waitaki Boys’ High School in the lead-up to the start of the Canterbury secondary school UC Championship getting under way on May 5.

The trip to Blenheim will be one of six away games during the round robin part of the season; there are seven home games scheduled.

“We have about 25 boys in the squad and they are in good heart,” said Preece.

Last year’s combined side finished third last in the competition and was on the losing side of several close encounters.

They aim to do better this year.

He said the 2017 team had just two Year 13s, but this year’s team had greater numbers of seniors, though it would always struggle to compete against big schools

Pay rise for Ferns

Crusaders’ fightback falls short

A landmark agreement will be announced today confirming that the Black Ferns are to be rewarded with improved pay deals. From previously receiving assembly fees of $2000 a week – which would amount to a total of around $8000-$10,000 and $16,000 to $18,000 in World Cup year – those who make the Black Ferns in future will be paid annual retainers which are expected to be worth around $15,000 to $30,000. It is believed there could also be a retrospective bonus payment of $10,000 made to those who were part of the triumphant World Cup campaign last year.

Reds go back to back

Wellington just isn’t a good city for the Crusaders.

They haven’t won there since 2012 and were never much of a chance of breaking that pattern in 2018 after being subjected to a ferocious opening half hour by a rejuvenated Hurricanes.

Clearly, the Hurricanes are glad to be back in New Zealand after two weeks on the road. They looked a lot like the team they were in 2016 – lively, ruthless, creative and connected.

They were, simply, too good for the Crusaders.

They came out harder and faster – raced out to a big lead – and had the clinical edge that was maybe not apparent in the opening two weeks.

But that is the magic of being at home and indeed of a local derby – it brings the best out of teams and this was a good, solid game of rugby where both teams scrapped for everything and refused to give an inch.

The speed and physicality was hard to comprehend at times.

It looked more like test football than Super Rugby.

The speed at which both sides came off their defensive line gave the game a claustrophobic feel.

It was rush, rush, rush and when the tackles came, they were hard.

The Queensland Reds have scored successive Super Rugby wins for the first time in almost four years, coming back to beat the Bulls 20-14.

Proving last week’s breakthrough victory over the Brumbies was no fluke, the Reds clawed back from 14-3 down in a pulsating clash on Saturday night at Suncorp to continue their Brad Thorn-led, youthfuelled revival. Again, their scrum held up against one of the competition’s finest set-piece sides but, this time, there was the attacking prowess to match it.

with more depth at Year 13 level.

“Last year we had a lot of games we could have won so I would like to think if we finish in the top 10 it would be a step up.

“If we finish in the top eight it would be fantastic.”

O’Donnell is currently considering a leadership group within

the team and will recruit others to work alongside him as needed.

“Blair is local and has been involved in the under 16 rep team and knows a lot of the kids.”

Preece said the Canterbury Rugby Union was planning to change the competition format for 2019 to include a two-tier

Losing skipper Sam Whitelock was a killer blow for the Crusaders on Saturday night.

The Hurricanes especially had some venom in their defence, actively looking to unsettle the Crusaders with the way they threw themselves into the contact.

Ardie Savea made some useful tackles and every man in a yellow jersey carried the ball with impact and direction. It was breathless and relentless and it was unfortunate, but not surprising that there were casualties.

Ryan Crotty was the first when he suffered a nasty head knock in an accidental clash with David Havili. Sam Whitelock followed him off not so long after when he too had to have a head assessment, from which he didn’t return.

It was a huge blow for the Crusaders to lose their captain and

vice-captain, particularly as they were under siege in that first quarter.

It was all about the Hurricanes in the first 20 minutes. They had so much energy with or without the ball, made bold decisions on how to use the space and finished every opportunity they made.

They played with width and at pace, changing the point of attack at will – no one more effectively than Jordie Barrett who set up a try for TJ Perenara with a terrific angled run.

The Crusaders, on the other hand, couldn’t get the ball and when they did have it, they were punished for every mistake.

Even after the Crusaders did manage to score a try to close the

gap to 21-5, they were so sloppy on the kick-off exit that the ball was charged down and the Hurricanes scored the easiest try.

A lesser team would have been broken at that point.

But not the Crusaders. They cranked their set piece, dragged their way back into the game and made a fist of things in the second half. But they had left themselves too much to do and they lacked the composure and accuracy in those critical times to take advantage of the half chances they created.

Hurricanes 29: (C. Eves, TJ Perenara, B. Lam, M. Proctor tries; B. Barrett 3 cons; J. Barrett pen) Crusaders 19: (M. Mataele, J. Taufua, M. Ala’alatoa tries; M. Hunt cons)

A point to prove Melbourne Rebels stand-in skipper Tom English admits his team is being driven by the desire to prove a point to those who wanted them cut from the Super Rugby competition. The Rebels have maintained their position on top of the Australian Super Rugby conference with their third successive win – an impressive 33-10 bonus-point victory over the Brumbies at AAMI Park. With a dozen Western Force players, as well as their coach Dave Wessels, joining Melbourne this season after their team was axed from the downsized competition the players have a shared bond after the uncertainty of last year when both teams were in the firing line.

■ ELLERSLIE

In brief

Flemington dream lives on A crack at this year’s Melbourne Cup (3200m) edged a step closer for Ladies First at Ellerslie where she passed the sternest test of her stamina with flying colours.

The mare overcame a torrid early trip to triumph in Saturday’s Gr.1 Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup (3200m) with her never say die attitude leaving her New Plymouth trainer Allan Sharrock shaking his head.

“She was posted three wide around one bend and then two bends and I said she can’t win,” he said.

“I’m rapt, but I did think she had got beaten on the line. I’m a bit shocked really – I thought she had run second.

“They all thought she was a wet-tracker, but her last three wins have been on firm tracks.

Ladies First prevailed by the barest of margins to successfully execute a long-term plan and thoughts are now turning to another Cup.

Ladies First (Johnathan Parkes) takes out the Auckland Cup. “We’ve pulled her out of the Sydney Cup and she’ll go to the paddock and then we’ll be looking at the Livamol Classic and

the Melbourne Cup,” Sharrock said.

The daughter of Dylan Thomas may provide owners Humphrey

and Fiona O’Leary with another crack at the famous Flemington race as they are also part-owners of Who Shot Thebarman, who ran third in the 2014 Cup behind Protectionist.

After Ladies First was caught out on a limb early, rider Johnathan Parkes pressed forward to get one off the fence on the pace.

The five-year-old challenged early in the run home and rounded off a lionhearted effort to pip Five To Midnight by a nose with Wildflower a short neck back in third. Alinko Prince was just a long neck back in fourth.

“It was such a brave effort,” Parkes said.

“I wanted to get handy, but she didn’t have the gate speed to get across and I got caught three wide.

“I thought I would let her roll and she fought so hard to the line.

“It was a very good performance.”

M4 Egmont gallops

Cup winner euthanased 2017 Singapore Gold Cup winner Gilt Complex had to be humanely euthanased after sustaining a critical injury in the Dubai City Of Gold in Meydan yesterday. The New Zealand-owned six-year-old lugged out badly and was eventually eased out of the race. It was subsequently discovered he had shattered his right hind pastern and was unable to be saved. Gilt Complex was bred and raced by Graham Mackie and Trish Dunell and won nine races and over $1.5m from his 40 career starts. - NZME

Sergeant doubles up Waverley trained galloper Sergeant Blast made it two from two in his new summer campaign with a comprehensive win over 1600m at Trentham on Saturday. The promising five-year-old had disappointed in the spring after showing any amount of ability in an earlier campaign that had concluded with a victory over All Roads and Shadows Cast in January last year.

Sergeant Blast was favourite and he didn’t disappoint courtesy of an outstanding ride by visiting South Island jockey, Samantha Wynne.

Green adds edge to the Warriors

By Justin ChadwiCk Warriors coach Stephen Kearney has heaped praise on journeyman recruit Blake Green, but has told his players not to get carried away with their 32-20 openinground win over South Sydney.

NZ were irresistible against the Rabbitohs, running in six tries to four in front of 38,824 fans at Perth’s Optus Stadium.

The win ended their nine-match losing streak in Perth.

But more importantly, the triumph has given the playing group belief that they can defy the pundits and make a surprise finals appearance this season.

Five-eighth Green starred against the Rabbitohs, with the 31-year-old proving to be the perfect foil for scrumhalf Shaun Johnson.

Kearney was happy with the first-up performance of Green, who is now at his sixth NRL club.

“Blake’s been a really important inclusion into the group,” Kearney said.

“The energy he presents on training day

early in the week, and in the sheds after the game (is important).

“He’s a real olden-day footballer.

“He’s had a real positive influence with the group. All the new recruits have.”

The Warriors’ best recruit may well end up being a man not on the playing list.

The arrival of strength and conditioning guru Alex Corvo from the Broncos seems to have given the Warriors a harder edge on the fitness front.

That proved crucial during their triumph in Perth, where they overcame the long trip and the five-hour time difference to put the Rabbitohs to the sword.

Kearney said it was too early to make any bold declarations about the team’s fitness, saying it’s important to back up with a good display in Saturday’s home clash with Gold Coast.

“I don’t want you to get too carried away in the sense it’s only round one,” Kearney said.

“We had a fair bit of possession. I’m not saying they’re not fit. They did a pretty good job to come home strong there.- AAP

Blake Green

Melbourne ace Cameron Munster has hinted his long-term future may lie at fullback not five-eighth after tearing Canterbury apart in their NRL season opener.

Deputising at the back for injured Billy Slater, Munster spearheaded the victory, setting up three of Melbourne’s six tries and coming up with a desperate trysaver on Danny Fualalo.

The Queensland and Australia playmaker turned in a supreme performance despite an off-season marred by controversy and suggestions Melbourne were troubled by his off-field behaviour.

He later politely declined to talk about reports he had been involved in an altercation with Ben Hunt during the World Cup. However he did reveal he had not trained at fullback all preseason because of the presence of Slater, only reverting there from five-eighth when Slater succumbed to a shoulder strain suffered during the World Club Challenge win over Leeds.

Munster admitted he preferred fullback but acknowledged he would be kept out of the position

as long as Slater continued his career.

“It just gives me a licence to roam around with both halves, I feel more comfortable at one,” Munster said. “In saying that I don’t mind six as well.”

With Slater weighing up retiring at the end of his contract this year, coach Craig Bellamy will have a dilemma on his hands whether to keep Munster at five-eighth or move him to fullback fulltime.

Jahrome Hughes is widely considered Slater’s heir apparent, however Munster’s form at fullback could force a re-think.

“Our six is kind of like our fullback positions as well, running the ball and ball-playing so it’s no different to one,” Munster said.

“It’s just a matter of getting the numbers right in defence and the high bombs right.”

Bellamy said Munster seemed most comfortable at fullback but said the 23-year- old’s future was bright in either position.

“At the moment No.1 is probably his best position because he’s played there more than he’s played in the six,” Bellamy said.

“But I think he’s going to be a real good player for a long period of time in either.”

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Some mistakenly believe that listening enriches others more than themselves. It’s why they are hesitant to open the ears and shut the lips. Truly, the one who is most enriched by listening is the listener.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): It’s easy to get complacent in dealing with people who are extremely familiar. Resist this tendency as a matter of respect. Respect is the basis for all good relationships.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Your quick wit, good manners and past training will come to your aid in today’s challenge. If you get stuck, just pick up on the mood and remarks of the people in the room and carry on in the same vein.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Your life has a real sense of momentum these days – though you are afraid to mention it, as those who talk about their good fortune have a tendency to jinx it.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Businesspeople realise that not everyone is going to buy their product. But with a certain rate of return from a percentage of the people, a profit can be made. Win some, lose some. Play the numbers.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): While many are reacting to life, you’ll think differently, think ahead, think of the offense. People will appreciate how difficult it is to be proactive – to initiate, innovate and create where there was nothing.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): What looks like a rather complicated problem also happens to be the opening to a series of truly magnificent opportunities – but only because it’s your choice to see it as such.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Mob boss John Gotti claimed, “I never lie, because I don’t fear anyone.

You only lie when you’re afraid.” Whether or not that’s true, you may be surprised at the honest things expressed today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Represented by the Archer, you are immensely satisfied when you hit your target. Without a target, you rob yourself of this satisfaction. So if there’s no apparent goal now, set one just for fun.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’re ready to teach, and they’re ready to learn. The readiness will help learning happen easily and quickly.

As for the unready – let them watch and get inspired.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The gods of commerce favour you now, and you will buy and/or sell with alacrity. Even if you don’t know what you’re doing, jump into the game with a low ante, and have some fun.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Children fantasise about being grown up, but grown-ups usually don’t revel in adulthood to the extent that their childhood selves imagined they would. Today brings another example of freedom turning into responsibility.

Caller Jasmine Murray urges her Rangiora High School charges to greater heights during the junior 200m final on Lake Hood on Saturday.

Tu Meke best of the dragons

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Conditions were near perfect for the South Island Dragon Boat Championships at Lake Hood on Saturday, where 16 crews were racing for silverware in junior and premier grades.

The main 500m events were closely contested affairs, with only seconds separating winners and losers.

The premier open final was won by Tu Meke in 2.05.51, with corporate crew Beca Crewsaders second in 2.11.33 and Waimak Attack third in 2.11.70.

The premier women’s 500m final was won by Otautahi PC, from Tu Much Meke and Abreast of Life.

Avonside Girls’ High School won the junior women’s 500m, from old foes Marian College and Rangiora High School.

Organiser Ian Macbeth said it had been close to a perfect day’s racing and paddlers were looking forward to the nationals, which would be held at Lake Hood in two weeks’ time.

New starting pontoons being used for the first time had proven successful, with only a few tweaks needed for nationals, he said.

Paddlers also raced over 200m and 2km, with the course set at the northern end of the lake.

Spectators had an elevated view of proceedings courtesy of a mobile grandstand erected on the side of the lake.

The premier open 200m final was won by Tu Meke in 50.51 seconds, with Beca Crewsaders second in 52.75 and Waimak Attack third in 53.67.

The premier women’s race was won by Otautahi in 55.21, from Abreast of Life in 56.76 and Tu Much Meke in 56.95. Avonside Girls’ won the junior women’s race in 55.90 from Marian and Rangiora.

Macbeth said the 2000m events provided plenty of excitement, with Tu Meke winning the premier mixed, Abreast of Life the premier women and Marion College the junior women.

Boats are released at 15 second intervals, the slowest qualifiers first, and paddlers complete two full laps of the 500m course.

“This means the faster boats are trying to catch and pass the slower ones, while the slower ones are trying to avoid being passed.

“It makes for some exciting battles out on the water with boats trying to get around corners at the same time, while trying to avoid colliding.”

The 250kg dragon boats each contain 22 paddlers and a caller.

Macbeth said other 500m races were held for crews of 10, with Ridge Ridgers beating Simply the Breast for honours.

Around 30 crews at expected to contest the various distances when Lake Hood hosts the national dragonboat championships on March 24 and 25.
