Armistice Day: Lest we forget

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Tough tussles at softball P24

Sounds of machinegun fire and blasts reverberated throughout Ashburton’s town centre yesterday as more than 600 people gathered to commemorate Armistice Day. The dramatic noises continued for about 15 minutes and then ceased at 11am, marking the moment, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, that World War One was declared over.

It was an occasion to not only celebrate, but to remember the sacrifice of the men and women who served during the Great War. The crowd, gathered at the north side

of the Baring Square cenotaph, were silent as the town clock chimed 11 times, the Ashburton fire siren sounded and traffic from nearby West Street rumbled in the background.

On the south side of the cenotaph rows of white crosses decorated the lawn, a sad testimony to the Ashburton men killed during the conflict.

Ashburton cadet unit sentinels were around the cenotaph and square, the Ashburton Pipe Band played and Ashburton RSA members and war veterans were in attendance.

Moving addresses were delivered by mayor Donna Favel and Ashburton RSA president Merv Brenton, who together

lay an armistice wreath.

Favel said the day was an opportunity to look back on the past four years as the district had moved its way through WW100 events. It was a time to contemplate the meaning of peace, and a time to remember those whose sacrifices were signified on war memorials.

“That generation is no longer with us, but their memory will endure with us through their children, their children’s children and the generations that follow,” she said.

■ SCULPTURE SYMPOSIUM

Sculptures go under hammer

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Auctioneer Greg Jopson was working a tough crowd as he did his best to entice bids on artworks at the Ashburton Sculpture Symposium auction yesterday.

“A lot of hard work has gone into it,” he said of a striking piece in Mt Somers limestone on a Timaru bluestone base. “And you are making hard work of it today.”

He opened bidding on the piece at $4000, but ended up dropping to $1500.

Ultimately bidding reached $2250, but it did not meet the reserve and negotiation was to be undertaken afterwards.

“There’s reserves on these items, they are not going to sell if you are going to sit there with your hands in your pockets,” Jopson said as he opened bidding on another item.

Nevertheless, at the completion of the auction, at the Ashburton Domain, organiser Brent Holley was pleased with proceedings. The top price paid of $6000 was up from the top price paid at the last Ashburton Sculpture Symposium held two years ago.

About 250 people were following around

the auctioneer and about 50 people had registered for bidding. The majority of the 16 works from the 11 top sculptors had sold, and those that had not would remain on exhibition for interested buyers.

While it was a little disappointing to not have more active bidding, there would definitely be another symposium in two years’ time, Holley said.

“It’s been a great gig,” he said, and paid tribute to the artists who had travelled from throughout New Zealand and Australia themselves, as “amazing people”, to create their works at the symposium.

Among successful purchasers was Michelle Box of Ashburton. She was “stoked” to buy Journey by Debbie TempletonPage, at a price within her budget, at $2300.

“I just about cried, because I had been here during the week and looked at it and said ‘That’s the one I want’, but didn’t dream I would actually get it,” Box said.

“It’s going on my front lawn where other people can enjoy it.”

Receiving the people’s choice award at the symposium was Steve Molloy’s piece Taniwha Water Guardian.

An auction of works of art in the Ashburton Sculpture Symposium attracted good crowds.

■ MAYFIELD CITIZENS’ ASSOCIATION

Mayfield Citizens’ Association shuts up shop

By Sue newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Mayfield has called time on its Citizens’ Association, opting to wind up an organisation that has been its community voice to the Ashburton District Council for many years.

In recent years support for the association has dwindled as longterm residents moved out of the area and new, more transient families moved in, chairman James Murdoch said.

To gauge interest in keeping the group alive, committee members canvassed residents and the results convinced them that winding up was the right step to take, he said.

When the association was es-

tablished it had strong links to the council and meetings were usually attended by both a district councillor and a council staff member.

That provided a good vehicle for the Mayfield community to highlight issues of concern and meant there were opportunities for twoway dialogue, Murdoch said.

Three or four years ago councillors were ‘discouraged’ from attending citizens’ meetings, he said, and that meant the voice to the council was lost.

“Now we don’t feel as though our concerns are listened too.”

Murdoch believes there is a disconnect between the council and the rural community.

“Fundamentally, overall it’s

quite difficult to get a rural voice through to the council but we’re ratepayers just like everyone else.”

At meeting after meeting, people would talk about issues and problems but the question was always, how to get concerns raised through to the council, Murdoch said.

“Nothing new was coming up our meetings, we were just going round in circles and without a council rep we weren’t getting anywhere.”

People felt there was a void they couldn’t get across when it came to getting information, he said.

“It makes it difficult for people to get involved at any level with the council if no one is listening.

Citizens’ associations were sup-

posed to be a community voice to the council but if councillors are discouraged from going to meetings we have no voice.”

Western ward councillor Peter Reveley said he did not oppose the association going out of business.

Members had done a good job canvassing the community to gauge interest and if that interest wasn’t there they were banging their heads against a wall.

Like most rural areas, most of the new people coming in don’t feel part of district life like older ones did, but over the years the association had achieved good things for Mayfield, particularly around its water supply, he said.

“They’ve done their job very well.”

PRINT + DIGITAL + MOBILE =

SUCCESS

Reveley attended a number of the association’s meetings and said he had provided members with information on ways they could keep the council informed of issues in the area.

One of those was the snapsend-solve app that uses a mobile phone to take a photo of an issue such as a pothole.

This is sent to the council providing details of the problem and its exact location.

While the association has now begun the process of going out of business, it could be resurrected in the future if there was either a desire from residents or if there was an issue that needed a combined community voice.

■ DRIVING

Keeping safe on the road

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s older drivers are not leaving safety on the road to chance.

A driving refresher course aimed at drivers who have been on the road for decades attracted far more registrations than it could cope with, but those who managed to secure a place said the Age Concern-run event was well worth attending.

Yvonne Palmer has been taking the driver education courses for several years, and said Friday’s event saw 30 people return to the classroom, while 20 more are on

the waiting list for the first event next year.

While each course runs to a similar programme, any rule changes are discussed and topical issues also make it onto the agenda. The sessions involve video clips, workbooks and plenty of question and answer sessions.

For older drivers who had spent most of their lives in the country, moving to town meant quite an adjustment in driving habits, Palmer said.

“In the country they knew the roads so well, even if they were not used to the increased traffic, but now they’re dealing with

town traffic and having to learn new routes.”

Cycle lanes were also a new challenge for older drivers, she said.

Ashburton Highway Patrol traffic sergeant Steve Burgerhout spoke during the course about the role medication could play in driver safety.

One in four prescription medicines had the potential to impair driver ability, usually through drowsiness, Burgerhout said.

“It doesn’t have to be an illegal drug, it could be over the counter medication or prescription medication, but one in 19 fatals

involve drugs of some kind, legal and illegal.”

The impact of medication on driver ability could come from forgetting to take a pill, a reaction to new medication, a lack of food or alcohol reacting with medication, he said.

People on medication needed to be absolutely open and honest with their doctor about both their lifestyle habits and any other medication they were taking. That way they could be fully informed about the impact of single or combination drugs on their driving ability, Burgerhout said.

In brief Motorcyclist killed A motorcyclist was killed after a crash in Christchurch on Saturday.

Emergency services were called to the scene on Dyers Pass Road just before 2pm. The crash involved a car and a motorcycle. A police statement said the rider, whose age or gender have not been released, was critically injured and was taken to hospital, where they later died.

Pedestrian killed Canterbury police are investigating the death of a pedestrian near the Synlait milk processing plant north of Rakaia overnight on Saturday.

Canterbury rural area commander Inspector Peter Cooper said inquiries were ongoing after the woman’s death on State Highway One. The crash happened at around 11.30pm on the highway between Sharlands Road and Sheats Road. “Police would like to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time and noticed the 40-year-old woman walking on the highway,” Cooper said. “The driver of the car involved is assisting police with the ongoing inquiries.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact their local police station. Fire crews from Rakaia and Dunsandel were called to the scene and provided traffic control.

Ashburton commemorates Armistice Day From P1 Brenton said the world would never be free of conflict, however, today we could learn from the efforts of those who fought all those years ago.

They had wanted to leave their countries as better and safer places to live, and today we could continue to honour their beliefs by making sure such a conflict did not happen again.

“It was a huge cost, it has to be of extreme value and very precious to us all. We will never forget them, we will always remember them,” Brenton said.

An additional wreath was laid at the cenotaph on behalf of the North Queensland branch of the Queensland Sapper Association, courtesy of representative Malcolm Edmiston, who happened to be in the area attending the nearby highland games.

As the Last Post played, the New Zealand flag was lowered under sunny skies.

Two military vehicles provided

by Ashburton’s Derek Cullimore were on display for people to view after the service.

Cullimore has a personal family association with World War One. His father Sam Cullimore fought as a rifleman in many a battle from the young age of 16 or 17.

“I never heard him talk about it,” Cullimore said.

But his dad lived with the physical scars of the war forever, having a limp after receiving a bullet wound to his leg in the Somme.

Derek’s younger brother Trevor is similarly enthusiastic about the family’s military history, and he has made replica 50 cal machineguns, which provided the loud artillery noises leading into the service.

NEW TO THE MARKET ... ACT NOW!

An elderly woman who was missing in the Tasman region has been found by members of the public, about 36 hours since she went missing. Seventy-five-yearold Judith Nash was last seen walking along the Motueka Valley Highway with her dog around 5.30am on Saturday. However, Nash was found safe and well this afternoon by members of the public, a police spokesperson said.

“Police would like to thank the organisations and individuals who supported the search over the last 36 hours and helped to achieve such a positive outcome.” - NZME

Cathedral makes you take notice Former Ashburtonians Tony and Leeane Argyle have temporarily left their Gold Coast home to travel with the minimum of luggage through Europe.

Tony has been keeping a diary.

I

f you’ve ever travelled to Europe you’ve probably suffered a little from AFC syndrome ...

Another flaming cathedral.

They are everywhere and the initial awe at seeing a few of Europe’s finest will start to become less pronounced when you discover they are about as common as an Indian takeaway in a backstreet of Manchester (that means they’re really, really common).

Now and again however you’ll come across one that’ll jolt you out of that feeling of lethargy and make you sit up and take notice.

Milan’s Duomo is one of those.

First started in 1386, before the days of trade unions and the 40-hour work week, it still took over 600 years and a crew of thousands to complete. Obviously, someone wasn’t whipping the workers hard enough.

A new canal was constructed so the marble used for its erection could be brought to the site.

The cathedral is from the Gothic era resulting in its external surface being covered in gargoyles and elaborate montages that make it look like a set from a Bela Lugosi movie. There are 135 spires and over 3400 statues adorning the building inside and out.

Clearly there was a significant discount from buying in bulk, or Milan’s answer to Del-Boy Trotter had the locals convinced they had better buy big before the prices went through the roof. What’s truly incredible is that no two look the same.

The impressive facade can be seen up close with a roof top tour that is well worth doing as it provides a perfect view of the elaborate workmanship up close.

The marble exterior is matched by the stunning interior, which even the most avowed atheist can be made to appreciate.

A ticket for both the rooftop and interior, along with the underground ruins of the original church that existed on the site from the first millennium, costs around 16 euros. You can also visit the Duomo museum across the road with the same ticket.

The museum itself is quite amazing.

There are hundreds of original sculptures and relics rescued from the church and stored for safe keeping. What is most amazing is that there is no barrier between you and the relics ... many of which are over 500 years old. You can literally walk up and touch them.

You can’t help but wonder how there are so many statutes and carvings to spare. Had the foreman overestimated in his quantities? Were these the ones who got the “Thank you for your profile of

the Madonna and Baby Jesus submitted, however your offer was unsuccessful”?

Included are some wonderful wooden carvings, many of which are quite disturbing. No images of people sitting around talking or washing their mules here. They inevitably involved pain, passion, throat slitting and murder. It must have made the job easy for police back then.

“Any progress in the Ravelli murder constable?”

“Yes sarge … a local carver came forward. Seems he saw the whole thing and whittled it as it happened.”

“Mmmm,” says the sergeant looking at said carving. “Was the murderess really naked with an angel floating over her shoulder?”

“I think they call that artistic licence sarge.”

Milan, it seems, is something of a luxury shopper’s paradise with all the big Italian brands based in the city.

People-watching can be great entertainment as you see the local wannabees sauntering around town trying to outdo each other with their on-trend synchronisations.

Of course, as something of a cutting edge bon vivant in the fashion stakes I was keen to show the locals what fashion was truly about.

Little do they realise my shorts and sandals are only a little ahead of the times and will soon be sprung upon an unsuspecting group of fashionistas on a runaway in the very near future.

If only they would bring the walk sock back, so I can be heralded once more for my far-sighted vision in the face of public opinion.

Eating and drinking are favourite pastimes of the Milanese, as they are to most Italians. It’s difficult to find a poorly made coffee anywhere in Italy although you may need to allow for the description when ordering as a flat-white is seldom on the menu.

Italians prefer espresso, which is usually consumed in haste from a standing position at the bar where the coffee is served.

No mucking around here folks – there seems little point in downing a double shot of caffeine the size of a thimble if you aren’t ready to run out the door and take on the world before the hit has worn off.

How many the average Italian consumes a day is unknown but based on the impact on blood sugar levels I suspect that once addicted to this habit they must face returning every half hour in order to continue to stay functioning or resort to an intravenous drip attached to their arm while they work at their desk.

Either way, Nescafe and their cohorts will be laughing all the way to the bank.

The stunning Milan Cathedral.

Altrusa literary drive to help schools Two schools in the Ashburton District are to benefit from more resources aimed at improving their pupils’ literacy.

The service club Altrusa International of Ashburton is building on resources already given to Allenton and Mt Somers Springburn Schools by adding to a special system encouraging children to read.

The Audio Visual Achievement in Literacy, Language and Learning (AVAILLL) programme has been donated to many of the district’s schools by the club since 2009.

The programme uses popular movies in a series of fun, interactive literacy lessons, developing skills in comprehension, vocabulary and fluency in reading.

Funding for the programme came from the club’s fund-raising efforts in the past year, including the successful Fabric and Craft Bazaar.

Altrusa has a focus on literacy and the club this year has also run a competition for local school pupils to design a bookmark, given sets of laminated, decorated alphabet letters to babies at the Ashburton Maternity Centre during October and will add children’s books to Christmas hampers delivered by social service agencies at Christmas.

As well, the club delivers library books to people unable to visit the library, helps to fund a reading mentoring programme at Ashburton College and pays the rent of a school for Burmese migrant children in northern Thailand.

Right – Presenting the new literacy resources to Mt Somers Springburn School were Altrusa literacy committee chairwoman, Alison Quinn (left) and member Mary Harrison (far right). Receiving the donation were pupils (from left) Maddy, Grace, Henry and (in front) Caleb.

■ SILAGE WRAP

Bury today, mine tomorrow silage wrap option

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

If onshore recycling facilities for silage wrap are not developed within five years, it could become a product that is baled and buried today and mined in the future when those facilities are available, says an Ashburton recycling expert.

Ashburton District Council waste recover manager Craig Goodwin said that currently there were collection options in the district but no onshore processing facilities.

A farm collection service is run by a private operator who bales the wrap and delivers it to the council’s resource recovery depot or farmers can bring in their own wrap and drop it off at the depot, he said.

Either way, bales of wrap are sitting in limbo, looking for a market.

“The industry expectation is we should be able to see an end market in New Zealand, a process plant, within five years. If we get to five years we’ll need to have a serious look at what we do going forward,” Goodwin said.

And that could see bales of wrap put in a hole and buried against a day in the future when a processing plant was set up in New Zealand and it could be mined and recycled.

The future of silage wrap was raised by a submitter to the council’s solid waste management and minimisation by law.

Also raised was the option of a collection for household waste items containing heavy metals.

The council has facilities to accept these at the resource recovery park, Goodwin said.

Keeping these items out of household rubbish was a matter of public education, he said.

Wildfire death toll rises The death toll in the wildfire that tore through a Northern California community has risen to 23 and 35 people are still missing.

Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said 14 additional bodies were found yesterday, three days after the fire broke out. He says some of the victims were found in cars and in houses.

He said an additional search and rescue team was being brought in to search for remains.

The fire has become the third-deadliest in California history.

Residents who stayed behind to try to save their property or who managed to get back to their neighbourhoods in the town of Paradise found cars incinerated and homes reduced to rubble.

People surveyed the damage and struggled to cope with what they had lost. Entire neighbourhoods were levelled and the business district was destroyed by a blaze that threatened to explode again with the same fury that largely incinerated the foothill town.

The flames razed more than 6700 buildings, almost all of them homes, making it California’s most destructive wildfire since record-keeping began.

Sheriff’s deputies recovered human remains from at least five homes as they went house-to-house in Paradise looking for the missing.

More firefighters headed to the area yesterday, with wind gusts of up to 80km/h expected.

The blaze grew to 400sq/km but crews made gains and it was partially contained, officials said.

People sidestepped metal that melted off cars and jetskis and donned masks as

PHOTO AP they surveyed ravaged neighbourhoods despite an evacuation order for all of Paradise, a town of 27,000 founded in the 1800s. Abandoned, charred vehicles cluttered the main thoroughfare, evidence of the panicked evacuation as the wildfire tore through. The dead were found mostly inside their cars or and outside vehicles and homes.

President Donald Trump issued an emergency declaration providing federal funding for fires on both ends of the state.

He later threatened to withhold payments to California, claiming its forest management is “so poor”.

Trump tweeted “there is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly fires in California”.

Trump said “billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!”

The Queen and British Prime Minister Theresa May have paid tribute to those who fought in World War One at a remembrance event marking a century since the Armistice.

The Royal Family stood as thousands of audience members held aloft photos of those who took part in the conflict, and descendants stood in the middle of the Royal Albert Hall with pictures of their ancestors.

May and her husband Philip held aloft photos of two of her ancestors, including Private Hubert Brasier Grant, of the East Surrey Regiment, who died at Passchendaele in 1917 aged 19.

Alongside the Queen in the royal box were other senior royals including princes Charles, William, Harry and their wives Catherine and Meghan.

All were dressed in dark clothing as they watched from the box, giving standing ovations to welcome the Chelsea Pensioners and bereaved family members.

Al-Shabaab has said it was responsible for the bombings.

The attackers detonated two car bombs in front of the Sahafi Hotel, which is frequented by government officials and other members of Somalia’s elite, on Friday.

Two militants, who were driving the cars

filled with explosives, were killed in the blast, while five others were shot dead by security forces before they could enter the hotel, Hassan said.

The third bomb was hidden in an unmanned car that had been parked at a nearby carpark, police said.

Al-Shabaab is affiliated with the international al-Qaeda terrorist network and launches regular attacks within the volatile east African nation.

Summer school for buskers Mid Canterbury children will get to stage their very own buskers’ festival these coming school holidays.

Big Little Theatre Company director Jackie Heffernan is preparing to run the summer school which will finish with the festival on January 18.

Training at the school is to involve everything from how to develop a street savvy persona to how to encourage audience participation.

The artist in residence will be street show star Mr Wizowski, aka Michael Armstrong. Armstrong has toured internationally, run street show workshops at several festivals, and just finished a year-long contract as lead trainer and artistic director at Slipstream Circus in Tasmania.

“Michael has kindly fitted in his stint with our fabulous young people between his engagements,” Heffernan said.

“His training will include creating a unique street entertainer persona, character development, character status, circus skills, audience control, audience participation, hat line and finale … what’s not to love?”

The buskers’ festival will be staged at Plains Museum’s magical historic street, she said, adding it was the perfect setting to showcase the historic entertainment form of busking.

The summer school is open to seven to 18-yearolds. Running concurrently will be a summer school for Shakespeare lovers aged 11 and over.

WillPower will be a celebration of all things Shakespearean as Big Little gears up for its trip to the Globe Theatre.

Right – Street show star Michael Armstrong is to impart his entertainment skills to Big Little Summer Theatre School students.

An incomplete world without peace Eleven-year-old Amalia Worsfold (centre) of Ashburton was named the winner of the Ashburton County Lions area peace poster contest. Judge and local painter Rachel Jemmett had a tough time making a selection from the three high quality entries, including from 13-year-old Charlotte Clifford (left) and Tara Nevin-Smith, 11 (right). The young artists were invited to enter through the Ashburton Art Gallery’s weekly Art Addict sessions they attend. Amalia said she went for a play on words for her winning art work, which shows two people of different races putting in a missing puzzle piece on a map of the world. “Without peace you can’t finish the puzzle and finish the world, it will just be incomplete,” she said. Kindness Matters was the theme of this year’s peace poster contest, held by Lions International. Amalia’s work now goes to the Lions district competition finals, from which an entry will be selected in another phase towards the international contest.

OUR VIEW

Tragedy through the generations O

ne hundred years ago yesterday World War One was, at last, over.

It killed about 18,000 New Zealanders and more than 60,000 Australians, and left behind shattered families, many of which are probably still affected by the event to this day.

Personally I have a connection to the war, with my great grandfather John Albert Emmett of Sydney having been killed in action in France.

Known as Jack, he was a member of the 33rd battalion.

The war was only five months from finishing when what was his first foray into the front line on the Somme was to be his last.

The story of his death is told by his comrades, including a Private Burton, today recounted online in the Australian Red Cross Society

Wounded and Missing Enquiry Bureau files.

Private Burton said he and his cobber Jack were detailed to carry rations, and at about midnight on June 17, 1918, they were making for a place called Diggers Supports at Villers Bretenneux.

“Emmett had never been up in the lines before, and he got tired; so he lay full length in a trench on his back while I moved on a few yards and sat down on a fire step,” Private Burton said.

“A shell fell right between Em-

mett’s knees, and blew off his legs and the lower part of his body; and we buried him at a place called Crucifix Corner just out of Villers Bretenneux.”

Crucifix Corner Cemetery today contains 660 Commonwealth burials of the First World War; I am presuming my great grandfather is among them.

Just like many who grew up knowing our elders had lived through times of war, we just accepted none of them ever talked about it, and it was not the thing to ever bring up in conversation.

It is only in recent years we realise the importance of recording such stories, as time marches on, people pass away and memories fade.

Consequently from talking to my aunty a little has been filled in of the tragedy of Jack’s time at

war. Aged in his 40s, he had five children and a wife who depended on him, so did not have to go.

However, he wanted to live up to his conviction that fighting in the name of one’s country was the right thing to do.

The fact that he never came home was a loss of mammoth proportions for his children, of which my grandfather was one.

As family lore goes, my grandfather was a difficult child for whom his mother had little affection.

Even though she was left a wealthy widow, she gave minimal time and money to her least favourite child. The repercussions were felt throughout his life and he later became an alcoholic father to my mum and her two sisters. His wife, my grandmother, struggled as best she could, but

the family were poor and would have benefitted greatly from caring grandparents, something World War One had robbed them of the opportunity of ever having.

I was always grateful my mum, with help from my dad ofcourse, was able to give me the good childhood she had never had.

However, she carried the scars of a broken upbringing, and to some extent that sense of tragedy and heartache has been carried down the generations.

War does seem to be such a futile thing, however, I do believe that we have to be prepared to fight for our freedom. And despite the huge cost for those who fight and the families they leave behind, we can justly be proud of the huge sacrifice our forebears made in the name of their country all those years ago.

T

he Government has stated that it aims to reduce child poverty and homelessness, and I firmly support these goals.

However, it is becoming more and more apparent that the policies the Government has put in place which are supposed to address these issues are not actually targeting those in need.

KiwiBuild is one such example.

I understand that many people voted for Labour in the last election because they thought KiwiBuild would offer a solution for families on lower incomes who wanted to own their own home but could not afford to do so.

Consequently those people may have been surprised to hear the recent admission by Housing Minister Phil Twyford that KiwiBuild is not aimed at lowincome families.

Of course the income levels need to service a mortgage on the KiwiBuild homes, which in Auckland cost at least $600,000, have always made it abundantly clear to anyone with a calculator that this was not a scheme that would help those on low incomes.

The Government’s other claim that KiwiBuild is helping provide more supply in the housing market where builders and developers were not producing

Email us! editor@theguardian. co.nz are very grateful for it, the fact is that many of those receiving this payment do not actually need it. The electricity industry has recently pointed out to the Government that this funding could have been much better spent by targeting the subsidy at the country’s most vulnerable households, including working families on low incomes.

Representatives of the electricity industry have pointed out the money the Government is currently spending on giving winter energy payments to financially secure individuals could have instead been used to fund the annual electricity bills for lowincome consumers. Other suggestions from the industry have been that the funding could have been used to install solar panels and fund more efficient appliances such as heat pumps, and install LED lighting and insula-

houses is also blatantly untrue, as all of the KiwiBuild homes under construction have been bought off the plans so would have been built anyway.

The Government’s decision to turn KiwiBuild into a lottery, where successful purchasers are determined by drawing their names out of a hat, rather than by assessing their need has made the $2 billion Kiwibuild programme into a farce.

Unfortunately KiwiBuild is not the only policy where the Government’s poor decisions have resulted in those who most need assistance missing out.

The Winter Energy Payment, which is available to all beneficiaries and superannuitants, is not targeted, can be spent on anything and will cost the Government $347 million a year.

While I am sure that those who have received this payment

These measures would have had the additional benefit of helping reduce overall electricity consumption.

If the Government is going to do more than just talk about tackling difficult social problems such as child poverty and homelessness, it needs to be much smarter about how it spends taxpayer money, so that it is actually going to those who need it most.

Hopefully Jack Doyle (letters November 9) will learn a bit more about the way the community he lives in works before he has a chance to vote in next year’s local body elections.

He may or may not be right about needing a fresh new council – I couldn’t possibly comment – but he obviously has no idea who is responsible for what in and around the town.

Just to educate him a little, the council had no responsibility for ‘tearing down’ the old Somerset Hotel, which just happened to contain a bar, and replacing it

with a modern building.

That was not done by the council but by the building’s owner, an organisation Jack Doyle can also vote for next year if he chooses to vote at all.

Likewise, other than making some noise the council has no say over whether the highway north is four-lane or not.

It is a state highway, therefore the responsibility of central government, not a local council.

The i-SITE is another matter and one where the council can be held to account because decisions made there were theirs, and theirs alone.

headed up Forts Road on Mount Clarence, studded with a feast of Anzac history. Parking up the car, the soul-rinsing views of King George Sound and Princess Royal Harbour are spellbinding.

To gain a tangible understanding of Albany’s monumental role as a staging post for the Anzacs, I first headed to the National Anzac Centre, perched above King George Sound. This stir-

ring museum has fast cultivated a solid reputation as a powerful cultural pilgrimage.

A pilgrimage to bookend the battlefields of Gallipoli and the Western Front. Open less than four years, it’s already been a back-to-back winner of the Aus-

tralian Museum of the Year.

Opened on November 1, 2014, the date marked the centenary of the Anzac convoy’s first departure for war. Twenty-nine thousand troops and 7000 horses set sail on that day from Albany, followed by a further 12,000 troops in the Second Convoy on December 31, 2014.

This small but perfectly formed museum has deployed the latest interactive multimedia technology, overlaid with historical artefacts to honour the past and pay tribute to those who served.

But for all of the whiz-bang wizardry, it’s a museum packed with pathos and the personal touch.

As a Christchurch boy, my heart swelled to see a photo of Cathedral Square thronging with locals celebrating Armistice Day in 1918. The key phases and harrowing events of the First World War are vividly brought to life through the stories of the Anzacs themselves.

As you enter the centre, a giant video screen showcases video footage on loop of Anzac soldiers on a march past. The rhythmic beat of their pounding boots reverberates evocatively.

The receptionist asked me to select a card. Dozens of troops have had their life stories immortalised at the centre. You choose a card which depicts a soldier or a nurse and you can follow their personal story step-by-step, as you walk through the centre, tapping the card on an interpretation screen, at various points.

The character cards include servicemen and women, as well as a German soldier and a Turkish soldier.

My card displayed a photo of Private Robert Hamilton, from the Australian Imperial Force 9th Battalion. I followed his personal story from recruitment, through training and embarkation, ship life, and in battle.

For those who returned, you will also learn about their post war life. And that’s the gruelling climax.

As you are drawn deeper into your character card’s personal narrative, your sense of anxiety and fear about their subsequent fate steadily grows.

I was fascinated to learn that the character on my card, Private Hamilton, was believed to be the first ANZAC ashore on the beaches at Gallipoli.

A palpable rush of relief washed over me when I learned that he survived the war and made it home to his family in Queensland. But shockingly, I then learned that he was tragically killed in a farm machinery accident, several years later.

The supremely sad and unexpected post-script rocked me. It’s a rollercoaster of raw emotion.

Thoughtfully conceived and crafted, there are all manner of deft touches throughout the centre.

Virtual reality devices allow you to see the troopships positioned out the window in King George Sound, as they steam out to the Indian Ocean.

The Padre White Lookout which is dedicated to the Albany priest who introduced the dawn service tradition to Western Australia.

Albany town centre.

I absolutely adored the infinity waterfall, where the scrolling names of all 41,265 Anzac troops who departed from Albany “float” on the water, as it gently cascades towards King George Sound, before disappearing out on the horizon.

After such a powerfully evocative museum encounter, I enjoyed a tasty lunch at the adjacent Garrison Restaurant & Bar, which is deservedly showered with accolades for its fresh local produce, artfully executed into inventive and flavourful fare. The share plates menu is a winner. www.garrison.net.au Freshly fortified, from the car park I then sauntered up to the top of Mount Adelaide to the Convoy Lookout. The easy 10 minute amble leads you past some old military buildings and barracks, plus the transport ships of the First and Second Convoys are graphically listed on trackside panels.

Of the 38 troopships, 10 vessels carried the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, including the Hororata, Marere, Maunganui, Orari and Athenic.

The panoramic views from the lookout are celestial, sweeping from the ivory sands of Middleton Beach, across King George Sound, Princess Royal Harbour and Ataturk Channel.

The latter was named in honour of Turkey’s modern founder, in exchange for his government

agreeing to rename the beaches at Gallipoli where our troops landed, Anzac Cove.

I also headed up Apex Drive to the Padre White Lookout, also on top of Mt Clarence, which is dedicated to the Albany priest who introduced the dawn service tradition to Western Australia.

He served as an army chaplain at Gallipoli and in 1930, at dawn on April 25, he led parishioners from St John’s Church to the summit of Mount Clarence, for a remembrance ceremony.

The site of the first dawn service was also the very lofty spot where locals previously gathered to watch the departing convoys in 1914.

A new steel walkway structure makes navigation around the summit easy, while the striking Desert Mounted Corps Memorial also adjoins the walkway.

The Anzac spirit will burn even brighter in Albany, as it stages the Field of Light: Avenue of Honour every night until Anzac Day next year.

This immersive art installation

by Bruce Munro pays homage to the Anzacs with 16,000 shining spheres at Mt Clarence marking the last sight of Australasia, for 41,000 troops who departed Albany in 1914.

The Avenue of Honour in Albany is destined to be equally if not more triumphant. We remember them. www.fieldoflightalbany. com.au Albany is unquestionably enjoying its time in the spotlight, and as I explored the charming town on foot, revitalisation abounds.

Beautiful Stirling Terrace has been given a face-lift, its trove of historic architecture sporting movie-set good looks.

Even the bells of the venerable town hall clock tower have been given a fresh lease on life – crafted by the same makers of London’s Big Ben. Down on the waterfront, Anzac Peace Park is a magnificently

verdant space to reflect and relax, alongside the departure point of those troopships, the Pier of Remembrance.

It’s easy to see why Albany is fondly nicknamed “the womb”. It briefly held the first convoy in its warm embrace, cradling troops and ships in safety, and it offered a final glimpse of Australasian soil to so many who served us all.

Raptors swoop on the Knicks

Big tournament looming Daniel Burgess chips onto the number 18 green at the Methven Golf Club on Saturday, a course that’s set to be inundated over Canterbury Show Weekend. Methven will host its annual two-day golf tournament on Saturday and Sunday, with between 160 and 180 entries expected, the club’s golf co-ordinator Barry Wackwitz said. A best-ball competition on the Saturday, and a stroke round on the Sunday, the tournament was a pairs competition with a men’s and a women’s division. Wackwitz said the tournament attracted entrants from far and wide – some of whom came back year after year – and it was always well supported by the local community, with around $11,000 worth of prizes up for grabs. He said there was still a couple spots left in the field if people wanted to enter.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Lang sees Cleary NRL skies for the Panthers

By Scott Bailey The last player to spend most of their career under their father at a NRL club can see only benefits ahead for Ivan and Nathan Cleary at Penrith.

The Cleary era will begin today for the Panthers with Ivan’s first day back in charge, while Nathan will remain in the rehab group after ankle surgery.

Regardless, today’s first official day back will mark a significant date, years in the making, given the public desire of both Clearys to work with each other since Nathan’s debut in 2016.

In doing so, they will become just the second father-son combination of the past decade, and the first to do it long term since Martin and John Lang at Cronulla and then Penrith from 1996-2004.

Historically, father-son combinations have struggled to work across a number of sports in Australia, but Martin can’t see this pair having issues.

“He would give Nathan advice on his game anyway, even when he wasn’t coaching him. But now, it’s just his job,” Lang said. “(Ivan) would know (Nathan)’s game well. His game is a lot more complex than mine was. But he

(John) knew what motivated me and my psyche.

“Everyone will have their judgment on whether his coaching will be detrimental or good for Nathan’s game. I think, personally, it will be good.”

The Clearys’ combination at Penrith is unique to several others in that Nathan is already an established No.7 with winning State of Origin experience for NSW. In comparison, most others that have failed across other sports have included senior players being dropped for coaches’ sons to be picked, usually bringing accusations of bias.

Even Lang admitted he was subject to such scrutiny from outsiders as a youngster, despite later going on to play Origin for Queensland.

Others, including Andrew Johns, have questioned how Ivan’s appointment might impact on Nathan’s relationship with players – particularly if team-mates are unhappy with their coach or vice versa.

But Lang said he’d rarely experienced such issues.

“You would think these days his team-mates would be respectful enough. If they are going to bag the coach, they wouldn’t do it in

front of Nathan,” Lang said.

“In any form of life, you don’t go around doing that.

“And I certainly don’t think the coach would stoop to that level either.”

Penrith return to work today along with South Sydney and Cronulla, but emerge as one of the most under-pressure teams in the competition after CEO Brian Fletcher’s demand for a premiership in Ivan’s five-year stay.

“The pressure is more on Ivan (than Nathan),” Lang said. “But he’s proven ... he’s coached a team to the grand final, so he certainly can win a premiership.”

■ RUGBY

Beaudy’s boot saves the day

By Liam Napier Beauden Barrett can see the irony.

The All Blacks had touched down four times or more in their past 12 tests, but here they were outscored two-tries-to-one by England at Twickenham and escaping on the back of Barrett’s accurate boot.

Even with the London rain pelting down, given his goal kicking struggles at times few predicted Barrett would hit his first test match dropped goal and nail a clutch 60th minute penalty while Owen Farrell’s failure to convert Chris Aston’s opening try proved costly.

“We knew we had to play a different game of rugby.

“It still took us a while to figure that out in the first half but we got there in the end,” Barrett said after the 16-15 victory.

“Typically if you look at the score sheet it’s not the way you’d see an All Blacks test win – two tries to one and so on – but up here you have to find ways to grind out a game.

“I’m glad we did and it’s a step in the right direction for us.

“It means a lot. You would’ve seen the emotion out there to grind out a tough win against England, this is their fortress.

“They love to play that type of game, they love these conditions it was a good test for us.

“It’s been a while since we’ve played England so there has been a lot of hype around that.

“There’s a lot of guys who played at Twickenham for the first time so they’ll remember that for a long time as will I. “We were pushed to the limits.”

Barrett’s 46th minute dropped goal was something of a free hit with the All Blacks playing under a penalty advantage.

But, on such a stage, he is sure to take confidence from dropping back in the pocket, splitting the sticks, and learning lessons from the loss to the Springboks in Wellington earlier this year.

“It was a no brainer we had an advantage.

“We probably would’ve kicked

Lacklustre victory While many predicted a mighty win from the Māori All Blacks yesterday over the Brazilian Tupis, the New Zealand side put up far from a convincing performance. Claiming the historic clash 35-3 at São Paulo’s iconic Cicero Pompeu De Toledo stadium, it was clear the Māori All Blacks weren’t prepared for the South American’s determined and unconventional play. The tactically poor performance was a stark contrast to last weekend’s 59-22 victory over the Eagles.

- NZME

Schmidt ‘a good fit’ Ireland’s Joe Schmidt will be a strong contender to replace fellow New Zealander Steve Hansen when the All Blacks coach steps down, says former captain Richie McCaw. Schmidt has led Ireland for five years and his contract with the Six Nations champions ends after the World Cup in Japan. The 53-yearold says he will make a decision on his future at the end of this month’s internationals in Europe.

Wales ends long drought

Beauden Barrett nails his first test match drop goal at a vital time to help the All Blacks down England.

the goal anyway although we had a bit of momentum going.

“It felt instinctive because it’s something that I’ve been working on in training.

“It was the right option at the right time.”

Barrett was, however, powerless to stop Sam Underhill’s late try, the English flanker turning him inside and out on the way to the line.

Fortunately for the All Blacks, TMO Marius Jonker eventually rubbed it out with Courtney Lawes deemed offside before charging down TJ Perenara’s kick.

Such is their never-say-die attitude, Barrett revealed the All Blacks planned an immediate response.

“We were all ready to go short on the kickoff and win the ball back.

“The more we looked at the tape the more we knew it would be a penalty so we had to think about what next and that was a lineout drive.

“I was impressed with his pace actually.”

The All Blacks fly to Dublin today to prepare for another heavyweight test against the world’s No 2 ranked nation.

While they did just enough on this occasion, they certainly can’t afford to give Ireland the same head start next week.

“It didn’t help we were 15 points down naturally you feel you have to play a lot of rugby to get back into the game and narrow the margin.

“We stopped kicking, built phases and the tempo of the ball sped up and we managed to get in behind them a little bit which helped create pressure and they gave away penalties.

“It wasn’t an ideal start but we fought back and always have that belief.”

Ten years and 13 tests of pain and suffering ended in a raucous Principality din as Dan Biggar’s late penalty meant Wales snuck past Australia – at long, long last. Not since 1958 had there been so few points in a match between these sides.

9-3 that day, 9-6 this with only penalties kicked. Bernard Foley’s 75th minute penalty was greeted by great boos as it seemed all of Wales felt the injustice of a penalty for a late-tackle not given made worse by Australia levelling soon after. But then Biggar banged over the winner to put this hex to bed.

Italy show credentials Italy boosted their case for continued inclusion in rugby’s Six Nations with a 28-17 win over Georgia, the team often cited as having better credentials. Italy scored four tries, including one by Tommaso Allan who also kicked two penalties and a conversion, in the first meeting of the sides since 2003.

UK media reacts after ref’s call wipes out ‘winning try’ It was a thrilling game of football when the All Blacks beat England 16-15 at Twickenham, but a late decision to rule out an England try has left the UK media reeling.

Here’s some of the best reaction: Stephen Jones “England had the victory they deserved snatched away from them in the dying moments when Marius Jonker, the television match official, ruled out what would have been a sensational winning try by Sam Underhill, after Courtney Lawes had charged down a kick by TJ Perenara and completely bamboozled Beauden Barrett to score.

“The referee awarded the try which means that any decision by the television match official must prove a clear and obvious infringement. The replay clearly showed Lawes onside, with Perenara taking an age with his clearing kick. There was nothing clear and obvious whatsoever and the referee really should have taken charge.”

Mick Cleary of the Telegraph “The England head coach got what he wanted. It was the movie that Twickenham wanted, too, a thriller that could have been scripted by Alfred Hitchcock and even if it left them bereft when a hair-line call by TMO Marius

Jonker denied them what looked to be a legitimate, match-winning score from Sam Underhill, they had great value for money.

“It looked a tight decision, too tight for the circumstances and England had every right to feel aggrieved.”

Paul Rees of the Guardian “Another one-point game tilted by a referee after reviewing an incident. England held on against the Springboks last week after an Owen Farrell challenge was deemed to have been within the laws, but a South African television match official, Marius Jonker, scratched Sam Underhill’s try five minutes from the end after

ruling that Courtney Lawes had been offside when charging down a kick.

Nik Simon of the Daily Mail “Eddie Jones told his players to write their own Hollywood movie but they came up with a classic heartbreak story.

“England were inches away from a famous victory at Twickenham. Sam Underhill thought he had scored the winning try, but Jerome Garces interrupted the celebrations to rule out the matchwinning score. In the end, the result went to script. Make that 84 wins in 94 Tests for the All Blacks under Steve Hansen, whose side remain top of the tree.” - NZME

Allenton machine rolls on

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Allenton continued its unbeaten run and Fairton picked up its first win of the season in round four of the Mid Canterbury Tennis A grade competition on Saturday.

Allenton’s fourth win from four outings was a 4-2 victory over Tinwald and was set up by wins in three of the four singles matches after both doubles matches went down to the wire.

Allenton’s Sam Bubb and Andre van Rooyen combined as their side’s top pairing in the singles and took on Tinwald’s Peter Leonard and Cameron McCracken, with Leonard and McCracken taking it out in a third set super tiebreak 6-0 4-6 1-0 (10-7).

A super tie-break was also required in the bottom doubles, with the Allenton pairing of Henry Ross and Riley Breen winning out over Tinwald’s Jayden Cromie and Christal Brosnahan 5-7 6-3 1-0 (10-4).

The top singles went the way of McCracken, who kept his unbeaten record in singles so far this season intact with a 6-2 6-1 win over Bubb, while in the number two singles van Rooyen and Cromie squared off for the second week running.

Cromie was filling in for Tinwald, having also filled in for Fairton last weekend, and van Rooyen followed up his win in a third set super tie-break last weekend with another win on Saturday, this time taking it out 6-1 6-1.

There was a change for both sides come the singles, with Jake Parsons coming in at three for Tinwald to take on Ross, with Ross winning that one 6-4 6-1, and Jacob Pye coming in at number four for Allenton and beating Brosnahan 6-2 6-1.

Meanwhile, Fairton’s first win of the season went down to the wire, with a countback of games required after its match against Hampstead ended up drawn on both matches and sets.

Fairton just snuck in 57 games to 56.

Just like in the clash between Tinwald and Allenton, both doubles went to deciding sets.

Rhys Cromie and Tyler Leonard combined to form Fairton’s top pairing and they beat Hampstead’s Aidan Mitchell and Connor Brosnahan 4-6 6-2 1-0 (10-3).

In the bottom doubles Hampstead’s Michael Kerr and Tom Ravenscroft combined to beat Fairton’s Phil Crozier and John Leslie 5-7 6-0 1-0 (10-8).

Fairton claimed wins in both of the top singles games, with Cro-

mie downing Mitchell 7-6 6-4 at one, and Brosnahan having to default the two singles match to Leonard.

The bottom singles matches both belonged to Hampstead though, with Kerr beating Crozier 7-5 6-0 and Ravenscroft beating Leslie 7-5 6-4.

The day’s other match between Southern and Methven was a one-sided affair, with Methven winning 6-0 to claim its third win of the season. Methven’s Peter Kirwan and Lee Gilbert beat

Southern’s Jason Feutz and Gareth Evans 6-2 6-2 in the top doubles, and Eddie Dargue and Josh Jones claimed another win for Methven, beating Mathieu Lucas and Caroline Murdoch 6-3 7-5.

In the singles Dargue proved too good for Feutz at number one, winning 6-2 7-5, and Kirwan beat Evans 6-1 6-1 at number two.

Gilbert dropped only the one game on the way to beating Lucas 6-0 6-1 in the three singles, while in the four singles Jones needed three sets to get past

Murdoch 6-4 3-6 1-0 (10-0).

Meanwhile, in A reserve action on Saturday, the Allenton Wekas beat the Methven Diamonds 5-1, and the Allenton Kakapos beat Hampstead 6-0.

Tennis takes a break this weekend, as it’s Canterbury Show Weekend, and when it returns in two weeks’ time the top two teams so far this season – Allenton and Methven – will square off in A grade, while Hampstead will play Southern and Tinwald will play Fairton.

Spurs grab vital win Tottenham Hotspur defender Juan Foyth had an uncomfortable debut in the Premier League last weekend but his second game in England’s top flight went a whole lot better.

The 20-year-old Argentine centre-back scored a secondhalf goal to earn Spurs a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace yesterday that moved them level on points with second-place Chelsea and Liverpool in the standings.

A week ago, Foyth made his first appearance in the EPL and gave away two penalties in a 3-2 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

“What a difference a week makes,” read a tweet from Tottenham after the match.

An injury crisis has robbed Tottenham of nine of their 12 World Cup players with Colombia centre-back Davinson Sanchez, who injured his hamstring in the Champions League in midweek, and England right-back Kieran Trippier, who hobbled off injured midway through the first half at Palace.

“This type of game is crucial in the battle for the top four,” Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said.

“This is one of the toughest stadiums to play in. The three points are massive.”

Action on the field seemed very much an afterthought at King Power Stadium as Leicester City honoured their late owner who was killed with four others in a helicopter crash two weeks ago.

The 0-0 draw with Burnley was the first game at the stadium since the accident that cost Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha his life shortly after their previous home game.

Some injured Leicester players, including England defender Harry Maguire, led a march of fans from the city centre to the stadium before the match.

Alex de Minaur has been hailed as a gift to Australian tennis by Rod Laver after signing off his breakout season with the ATP Tour Newcomer of the Year title. Nineteen-yearold De Minaur was just pipped by world No.15 Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece in a thrilling title decider of the Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan, succumbing 2-4 4-1 4-3 (7-3) 4-3 (7-3). All-time great Laver was among those excited by what’s in store with de Minaur set to enter the home summer as Australia’s No.1 and on course to be seeded at the Australian Open.

PHOTO AP bered Vichai before, during and after the game.

On a rather lackluster day in the Premier League when only 11 goals were scored in six matches, there were crucial and confidence-boosting second wins of the season for struggling teams Newcastle United and Cardiff City.

Newcastle climbed out of the relegation zone with a 2-1 home

defeat of Bournemouth.

On-loan Venezuela striker Salomon Rondon scorerd twice as the Magpies made it two wins in a row.

Cardiff overcame Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 with the winning goal in the 90th minute from Sol Bamba after an extraordinary goalmouth scramble in which the ball struck the goal frame twice before the defender

scored past Australian No.1 Mat Ryan.

Brighton played from the 34th minute with 10 men after Dale Stephens’ red card.

Felipe Anderson’s goal earned West Ham a 1-1 draw at Aaron Mooy’s Huddersfield while Jose Holebas equalised with a deflected strike nine minutes from time to earn Watford a 1-1 result at Southampton.

Rooney gets one last game for England Giving England’s record scorer Wayne Rooney a farewell appearance is coach Gareth Southgate’s attempt to better celebrate the contribution of the country’s football stars.

The 33-year-old Rooney will feature for a 120th England appearance during next week’s friendly against the United States at Wembley Stadium, despite retiring from international duty in August 2017.

“Those discussions started 12 months ago. We have an opportunity with the game at Wembley to pay tribute,” Southgate said.

“We have brought former players back to speak and present shirts.

“I think all the players respect Wayne’s contribution and that he

De Minaur ‘a gift’

deserves the best possible sendoff.”

Rooney was one of 28 players selected by Southgate but the former captain will not play on November 18 against Croatia in England’s final Uefa Nations League game.

“I am still able to look to the future with the squad we’ve picked,” Southgate said.

After a career on home soil at Manchester United and Everton, Rooney is now in Major League Soccer with DC United.

Southgate was inspired to give the striker a significant tribute after seeing how Germany honoured striker Lukas Podolski around a 2017 game against England.

“We were all struck by the fact

Wayne Rooney that it was a good way to recognise someone who’s had a fantastic career for his country,” Southgate said.

“We’ve not been brilliant at that over the years.”

As Rooney bids farewell to England, Bournemouth striker Callum

Wilson has been called up for the first time after scoring six goals this season in the Premier League.

Midfielders Dele Alli and Jesse Lingard return after being ruled out of last month’s Nations League games against Spain and Croatia through injury, with Mason Mount and James Maddison out.

A draw with Croatia followed by a victory over Spain leaves England waiting on the result of the meeting between their League A Group Four rivals before Southgate knows what is at stake in his final Nations League game.

Relegation to League B or progression into the finals both remain possibilities for England, which lost to Croatia in its first World Cup semi-final in 28 years in July.

Wayne Bennett has slammed as “ignorant” and “ill-informed” criticism from Brad Fittler and Greg Alexander of his England winger Tom Makinson’s selection as the Golden Boot winner. Makinson capped a remarkable entry into the test arena in 2018 with a hat-trick in a man-ofthe-match performance in England’s series-clinching win over New Zealand last Sunday. NSW Origin coach Brad Fittler described the choice of Makinson from a shortlist that included Australia and Blues fullback James Tedesco as ridiculous, saying: “It belittles the award. I can’t believe the best player in the world is a person I’ve never seen play.”

In brief

Legend in the making?

By Michael Guerin If Barry Purdon is right and logic plays its part Jack’s Legend could be the best each way bet in Tuesday’s New Zealand Trotting Cup. The one-time Jewels winner goes into the great race rated a $16 chance on the TAB, even though he ran second in it last season to Lazarus, beating home Tiger Tara and plenty of other stars.

Taking Lazarus out of the equation and Jack’s Legend could be the defending NZ Cup champ and training legend Purdon says he is probably better for Tuesday than he was this time last year.

“He is peaking at the right time and I would say he is at least as good as this time last year,” says Purdon.

Jack’s Legend suggested as much when he stormed into third in the Cup trial on Wednesday, his last 400m faster than when he won the same event last year.

He was clearly outpointed by Chicago Bull at Alexandra Park

Jack’s Legend charged into third in the Cup Trial. last start but then again, so would most of his opponents on Tuesday been had they started in the same race.

After a false start to the season when he missed away in his first

race, Jack’s Legend has been two big seconds and now looms as the dark horse in Tuesday’s Cup. Purdon realises his job is all but done and now it is up to driver Zac Butcher to deliver the

next piece of the puzzle.

“He is best when driven with a sit and one run at them, like he was last year,” admits Purdon “And that is not easy to do. You want to be following the right horse and Zac did that beautifully last season.”

Jack’s Legend actually made a flyer from his 10m handicap last start at Alexandra Park but Purdon cautions against he and Butcher rolling the dice and trying to cross the favourites drawn inside them in a surprise move on Tuesday.

“Sure that could happen if he begins really well and that would be great but I don’t think you can go out there with that as your Plan A, to make a quick beginning.

“The most important thing is to get away safely and get a spot and the a cart into the race.

“I think that is his best chance and then if all that happens then I hope there is a good speed to bring is into it.”

■ RICCARTON

Dee And Gee upsets in Metropolitan Trophy Outsider Dee And Gee stunned the Riccarton crowd on Saturday as she registered her biggest career victory when winning the Listed Redwood Metropolitan Trophy (2500m).

The five-year-old Darci Brahma mare defied her rivals all the way down the long Riccarton

M3

home straight after rider Cameron Lammas sent her to the front with more than 1600m left to run in the contest.

Those who expected the $51 chance to weaken were sadly disappointed as she kept up a strong gallop to dispose of the well fancied northern raiders Felaar and

Mental Telepathy. The run provided an eye-catching dress rehearsal for the mare’s next challenge, the Christchurch Casino New Zealand Cup (3200m).

“She was a handy sort of horse last season who I always thought would get a bit of distance,” cotrainer Peter Corbett said.

“She won over 2500m on Cup day last year, although this season she just hadn’t come up like I thought she would.

“I thought he (Lammas) went too early but I didn’t know how she was travelling on the Slow8 track, but obviously she handled it well.”

Madison takes spoils Outstanding three-year-old Madison County repaid his many supporters when he carried the favourite’s tag to a comprehensive victory in the Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton. The Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained Pins gelding had jumped to the top of the pre-race betting markets when he took out the Gr.2 Hawkes Bay Guineas (1400m) at Hastings in October. Despite a slight hiccup when finishing third in his final lead-up run at Te Rapa, punters never wavered in their faith in the China Horse Club-owned galloper as he delivered in fine style, courtesy of an ice-cool ride by jockey Matthew Cameron. - NZME

Indecision takes feature A bold front-running performance saw the Tony Pike-trained Indecision add further valuable black-type to her career record when she scored in the Legacy Lodge Sprint at Te Rapa. Narrowly beaten at her last start in the Sweynesse Stakes (1215m) at Rotorua, Indecision would not be denied on Saturday after being rated perfectly in front by rider Leith Innes. Innes had the Per Incanto mare humming along nicely throughout the contest as she comfortably held out the challenge of race favourite Yearn, who had tracked her throughout.

- NZME

Local talent prevails A gear adjustment and a positive ride from jockey Lynsey Satherley paved the way for the locally trained Maybeashowoff to open his winning account with a victory at Te Rapa on Saturday. The Showcasing two-year-old looked a natural improver following a tidy first-up effort that saw him run a cheeky race over 800m at Pukekohe in September. Satherley controlled the pace throughout.

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

WordWheel

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Somewhere along this timeline, you’re going to decide to stop forcing yourself to do other people’s version of fun and stick to the version that’s all your own.

Why not now?

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): When hearts break, they don’t heal all at once. In William Shakespeare’s “Othello,” Iago says, “How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?” You may still feel it.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Your life flows best when you recognise what you need and give yourself those essentials plus a pinch for luck. But no more than a pinch! Going too far past the essentials would set you back.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Setting yourself up to succeed will involve recognising what and how much you can do and seeking help for the tasks that are likely to go beyond those limits.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’ll step into a teaching position today. The education will go beyond you when you choose your pupils well. Who is likely to pay it forward? Who with ties to the group needs the information most?

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The one you think of as a hero didn’t aim for the role. Having much preferred an easier, more ordinary route, this person found life had other plans. You, too, will rise to the occasion when the time comes.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Physical, mental and emotional self-care is rooted in many practices (e.g., eating vegetables, exercising, facing fears) that unfortunately don’t seem like fun at the outset but are nurturing of your best self.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): When the situation calls for small talk you might as well use it for the opportunity it is. All conversation is a kind of personal brochure that shows people who you are and what you can do for them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Part of doing the right thing is doing it at the right time. Arguably, part of what makes it the right thing is that it’s right in a certain moment. Out of context, it would no longer hold such virtue.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Ever heard of “compassion fatigue”? It’s the sort of burnout that comes to those who care for and help everyone but themselves. They become undernourished at all levels. Don’t let it happen, be the priority today.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): If you are to devote yourself entirely to your challenge, you’ll need to put on blinders of a sort, to keep yourself from looking back or sideways.

There is only one goal, and it is ahead.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Even in the closest of families, things get tricky around money.

It’s best avoided today. This Greek proverb will steer you well: “Eat and drink with your relatives; do business with strangers.”

PITCHING IT UP

Jess Lima from the Renegades winds up for a pitch during the latest round of Mid Canterbury Softball’s senior softball competition at Argyle Park on Saturday afternoon. Lima’s Renegades lost their match to Fairfield 12-11, a close result which the competition had seen a lot of this season, with the five-team competition shaping up to be a hard-fought tussle a few weeks in. The senior competition had grown from three teams plus the Mid Canterbury under-17 rep team in 2017, to five teams in 2018.

Beginning of the end for Sonny Bill?

BY PATRICK MCKENDRY It now appears to be official – Sonny Bill Williams is in a form slump and may not play in the remaining two tests of the year even if he recovers from his shoulder injury.

The midfielder just can’t get a break this year and the All Black

selectors may decide to give him a rest and allow him to find some form via a good pre-season and Super Rugby season proper with the Blues alongside former All Black Ma’a Nonu.

“He’s got a grade one AC shoulder [injury].

“He may be [unavailable] for a

week, maybe two,” coach Steve Hansen confirmed.

Such was Ryan Crotty’s impact when he came on for Williams at Twickenham after 30 minutes, the Crusader is an obvious starter for the test against Ireland next weekend.

After the scare England pro-

vided, it’s clear the All Blacks will need their strongest team on the field at Aviva Stadium.

Williams, 33, has been hampered by wrist, knee and shoulder problems this year.

This 16-15 nailbiter at Twickenham was only his fifth test of 2018 and while he is a near certainty to

travel to Japan next year, he needs a consistent run of games in order to find his form of old.

It’s clear that Jack Goodhue, 23, is the future at centre, with Anton Lienert-Brown, so good off the reserves bench this year, likely to fill that impact role again next weekend.
