Attacker turns on victim’s rescuers A 62-year-old Ashburton man who came to the rescue of a woman being beaten by her partner said he had been right to intervene, despite receiving a broken finger and a cut to his eye when the attacker turned on him.

The man was one of three victims assaulted by Sialavai Matau, 27, of Ashburton.

Matau, a meat worker, admitted charges of assaulting with intent to injure, common assault, assault on a female and possession of an offensive weapon arising from the nasty incident in June last year and appeared for sentence in the Ashburton District Court

this week. Judge Allan Roberts contemplated a 12-month prison sentence before stepping back from incarceration and imposing 175 hours of community work and 12 months supervision, with counselling for domestic violence.

He also ordered Matau pay the 62-year-old man $500 in emotional harm, and $250 to another man who also came to the woman’s aid.

The two men were neighbours and went to Matau’s McDonald Street home after hearing the woman screaming.

A fight broke out in the hallway between Matau and the two men and the older man broke a finger when he

punched the defendant, who was angry they were in his house.

The two men went outside and Matau drew a large butcher’s knife from the kitchen and followed them.

He gestured at them with the knife before placing it down the back of his trousers.

Matau then rushed towards one of the men and punched him in the head with a closed fist. He fell to the ground and Matau kicked him.

Swapping rugby for local government

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Whether it’s a rugby team or a team of local government employees, the key to success is the same, creating an environment where people can do the best possible job, says the Ashburton District Council’s new chief executive Hamish Riach.

Two days into the job, Riach’s life is a whirlwind of meeting staff and understanding what makes the council and the district tick.

“I’m starting to make connections and once I do that I’ll start looking at issues and seeing where the pressure points are,” he said.

In the early days of the job, Riach said, it was important to keep an open mind.

“I’m trying to give people my ear, but I can’t judge the merits of any situation until I’ve breathed through my nose for a while. The key is to meet as many people as possible as quickly as possible, the team here and then people in the wider district.”

It’s an exciting time to take on the chief executive’s job, he said, with issues such as the town centre development, the administration and library project, a second bridge and 3 Waters on the list.

“The district was in great shape, and was well placed for the years ahead thanks to some prudent management and good

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 110918-SN-016 decision making in the past.”

Looking at the big ticket projects either completed or under way, Riach said he was impressed

with the amount of community consultation that had been carried out.

His might be perceived as the

council’s top job, but he sees it more as a supporting role for both staff and elected members.

“It’s about helping staff to do the best job they can so we’re improving the services of council to the best of our ability and secondly to provide the elected members with well researched and thoughtful advice.

“It’s important to make sure the people here feel able to work as well for the community as they possibly can.”

He described his management style as quite open, and said he’ll be striving to have an informed view on issues that will add value to the decision making process.

“One of the things about your style as a council CEO is that you have to work quite closely with the mayor and councillors, it’s not just about me and how I think I’ll perform. I want to be able to support people around the council table and they’ll all have their own style.”

The relationship between a CEO and a mayor was an important one and it was one that both parties had to ensure gelled, he said.

He knows the next election will inevitably bring change around the council table and one of those could be fewer elected members.

There are pros and cons for cutting numbers, he said.

“In a general sense, and that’s not just for Ashburton, the issue

is representation versus cohesive decision making.”

Riach has drawn a thick line under his 17-year career with Canterbury Rugby and the Crusaders franchise.

“I’ll love these guys till the day I die, but I just won’t worry about them the same. My rugby life is now to one side.

“I’ve always enjoyed rugby and will always enjoy the game but I won’t be focusing on it, it’s not what I do anymore.”

The business of the Ashburton District would now be his 100 per cent focus, he said.

Riach is returning to the career he started as a school leaver, working as a rates clerk at the Christchurch City Council.

He then worked in the Manawatu, for the Mackenzie District Council and wrapped up his first take on local government as chief executive at Selwyn District Council before switching to rugby.

People ask why he would leave what many would call a dream job, but Riach said as much as he’d loved his time with the Crusaders, after 17 years, the time had come to move on.

With wife Jane, he has now settled into a new home in Ashburton and said he was looking forward to getting to grips with the council as an organisation, his new community and the district as a place to live.

impact reports during sentencing and said the 62-year-old man had been left with a scar under his eye as a result of Matau’s punches.

“He said, notwithstanding the assault on him, he knows he did

the right thing by intervening.”

Matau’s lawyer Marilyn Gilchrist said her client was a first offender and had acted out of character. He had good family support and was remorseful.

■ MID CANTERBURY SCHOOLS

Ongoing reliever shortages costing local students

By Katie todd

Input plea to create a safer community

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

As schools around the country feel the squeeze of ongoing reliever shortages, Mid Canterbury principals say they are desperate to see change.

Local primary schools have reported doubling up classes, taking teachers off planned professional development sessions and asking senior staff to step in during one of the worst years yet when it comes to relief teacher availability.

In survey results released by NZEI Te Rui Roa last week, 90 per cent of primary school principals said they struggled to find relief teachers over winter.

One relief teacher agency also sent an email to schools advising it can no longer meet all their requests for relievers, for the first time in its history.

Oasis Education, one of two main agencies authorised by the Ministry of Education to recruit teachers for state schools, said it is at peak demand for relievers on top of the worst teacher shortage in years.

And the problem has been the subject of discussion among Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association members.

President Tim Kuipers said there was a shortage – particularly during the winter when sickness was more common.

At Ashburton Christian School, where he is principal, he said shortages had prevented teachers from booking release for professional development.

Hampstead School principal Peter Melrose said he had also

Ninety per cent of primary school principals said they struggled to find relief teachers over winter. had to cancel teachers release on five or six occasions this winter.

“It’s been really marginal.

We’ve just had to be adaptable and flexible,” he said.

Allenton School principal Bruce Tilby said although his school was fortunate to have a regular relieving pool, he had still been forced to make changes due to the shortage – including splitting up classes, and asking senior staff to step in and help when necessary.

He had also experienced the problem during term four at his

previous school in Auckland, where there had been six days with no relief teachers available at all.

Melrose said he felt a number of potential relievers in Mid Canterbury had been soaked up by permanent part-time job opportunities at local schools.

“The option of being a reliever is not nearly as attractive,” he said.

“There needs to be the numbers out there … and they need to be attracted to Mid Canterbury.”

A spokesperson from the Ministry of Education (MOE) confirmed that schools around the country have reported increasing difficulty finding relievers over the past three years.

“The Ministry of Education is currently developing a set of teacher supply and demand projections to help us understand how primary and secondary workforce numbers are likely to change in the future,” they said.

“The work is not yet complete.

However, we expect the information to be available shortly.”

Ashburton residents are being prompted to jot down anything they’d like to see improved in their town ahead of a public forum on Saturday.

In a bid to make Ashburton the “safest place to live in New Zealand”, Ashburton District Council, The Police and Safer Ashburton District joined forces, ready to address residents’ biggest concerns.

The public forum at Hotel Ashburton will see open discussion about the things that matter to people who work, live and play in Ashburton – be it youth crime, road safety, alcohol, drugs or otherwise.

Senior Sergeant Phil Dean said he will be sharing information about the types of crimes the public call police to deal with – and the sorts of things that police are doing to address the trends.

“The police, and other social agencies, only work in the environment where these crimes are happening,” he said.

“We desperately want to hear from the people who live in the community and see and hear things 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We want them to tell us what is concerning them and how they think we should be deploying our resources to address these issues.”

Everyone is invited to come along and the organisers will also be sharing information about the Safer Communities Accreditation that they are working towards.

The public forum will be held from 4pm to 6pm this Saturday, September 15.

■ HARNESS RACING SCANDAL

Suppressions for harness figures Widespread suppressions surround harness racing figures charged after a long-running police probe into alleged racefixing.

Ten people appeared in districts courts yesterday charged with race-fixing, along with other unrelated charges, following an 18-month investigation by the National Organised Crime Group.

Seven people were yesterday granted interim name suppression by a judge.

The charges come following raids on multiple stables and properties in Canterbury, Invercargill and Manawatu last week.

North Canterbury trainer Andrew Douglas Stuart appeared in the Christchurch District Court yesterday morning.

The 41-year old faces race-fixing allegations relating to three races earlier this year: a Rangiora Harness Racing Club Incorporated race meeting; a New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Incorporated race at Addington Raceway; and a Manawatu Harness Racing Club Incorporated race meeting.

Defence counsel Chris McVeigh QC said Stuart “strenuously denies” the charges.

No application for name sup-

pression was made and Stuart was remanded on bail without plea until October 2.

Rolleston-based horse trainer Nigel Raymond McGrath, 44, appeared in court last week on a race-fixing charge related to a New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Incorporated race meeting held at Addington Raceway earlier this year.

McGrath was given a registrar’s

remand to appear in court on October 2.

Palmerston North man Brent Stephen Wall, 47, made a brief appearance in the Palmerston North District Court yesterday on a race-fixing charge.

Wall pleaded not guilty to deception by match-fixing, allegedly relating to a Manawatu Harness Racing Club Incorporated race meeting from earlier this

year. A 40-year-old Canterbury man appeared on three racefixing charges and two drugs charges.

His lawyer, Jonathan Eaton QC, said the charges would be “strenuously denied” and sought suppression of name and charge details on the basis of preserving fair trial rights.

Eaton criticised media coverage of Operation Inca, claiming that some news outlets had shown “absolute contempt” for the court process by naming people before they’ve had the chance to appear in court and apply for name suppression.

Judge Raoul Neave, who was critical of police for calling a press conference before defendants appeared in court, declined the suppression application before Eaton indicated the decision would be appealed to the High Court. The man has until October 9 to file appeal papers.

Three other men – aged 71, 50, and 35 – who all face race-fixing allegations, will also appeal name suppression decisions, the court heard.

A 26-year-old man facing fraud and drug allegations is making an application to the High Court

for name suppression, the court heard.

Two others facing drugs charges were granted interim name suppression.

They have all been remanded on bail without plea to appear in court on October 2.

Last week, a 30-year-old Canterbury-based trainer appeared in court on drug dealing charges and unlawful possession of a restricted weapon. He has appealed a district court judge’s decision not to grant name suppression.

A 49-year-old Christchurch man, with interim name suppression also faces drugs charges, along with Elie Sawma, a 42-yearold from the Papanui area of Christchurch, charged with supplying the Class B controlled drug MDMA, possession of MDMA, and offering to supply the Class A drug cocaine.

Sawma was remanded on bail by consent to October 4.

Match-fixing charges carry a maximum penalty of seven years’ imprisonment.

The Racing Integrity Unit has excluded all those charged by police from entering a racecourse to attend race meetings, workouts and trials.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

Man held lighter to his son’s arm A Mid Canterbury man held a lighter to his son’s arm, causing a blister, the Ashburton District Court was told this week.

The man, in his 20s, who has name suppression, was discharged without conviction after admitting a charge of assaulting the child.

Judge Allan Roberts said the summary of facts outlined how the child had tried to light a fire in the fireplace but ended up filling the room with smoke. Some time later the man lit the fire and was explaining the dangers associated with fire.

“To make your point you held his arm to the lighter you had been using. The lighter left an immediate blister but you addressed that and applied first aid.”

The man’s lawyer said he didn’t realise how hot the lighter would get.

The judge said it wasn’t a case of overt violence. “I see it as an act of stupidity.”

The man, through his lawyer, had claimed a conviction would have consequences that would seriously affect his employment and future family.

Others to appear before Judge Allan Roberts in the Ashburton District Court this week were: Sarah Jane McCrea, 19, of Ashburton, was fined $400 and disqualified from driving for six months after admitting drink driving on East Street on September 1.

She was also ordered to pay court costs of $130.

She blew 600mcg when breath tested.

Her lawyer Paul Bradford said McCrea was mortified by what she had done and remorseful.

Judge Roberts said the level of her breath alcohol suggested it was not just a miscalculation.

Alex Noel Baker, 21, of Ashburton, admitted driving while his licence was suspended on Allens Road on August 16.

Defence counsel Paul Bradford said it was a shame as Baker had just 11 days to go on his suspension.

He was driving home from work because of a bad back.

Judge Roberts struck a deal with Baker, because he didn’t have long to go on the suspension no-

tice and he had no previous convictions.

He sentenced him to 40 hours community work, with light duties because of his back. He imposed no further disqualification.

“I have stepped outside the ring for you,” he told Baker.

“Thank you,” the defendant replied.

of drink driving. He must also pay $130 court costs.

Wiki-Arapeta, a meat worker, was stopped by police on September 2 because of the state of his car, which was found to have no warrant of fitness. A breath test showed him to have been driving on Chalmers Avenue with 558mcg.

Braden Ray Shepherd, 25, admitted two charges of driving while his licence was suspended.

The dairy farm worker was struggling with the isolation and made a foolish decision to drive.

Judge Roberts said Shepherd needed a penalty that would discourage him.

“Driving to see friends is no excuse and the second time you dumped the police tail, which indicates you were well aware you were doing wrong.”

He sentenced Shepherd to 40 hours community work and disqualified him from driving for eight months.

Joshua John Leath, 22, was sentenced to 120 hours community work after admitting a charge of assaulting a woman.

The summary of facts said Leath dragged the woman by her hair and hit her in the head.

Judge Roberts was not impressed.

“Many men go through their whole lives without raising their hand in anger to a woman,” he said.

Troy Euryphides Trevor WikiArapeta, 20, was fined $475 and disqualified from driving for six months after admitting a charge

Brooke Anthony Monson, 23, was convicted on four minor charges and ordered to come up for sentence if called upon in nine months (effectively a good behaviour bond).

Monson admitted possessing a home-made cannabis bong and meth pipe, ammunition (one bul-

let) and dishonestly using a document (a stolen paywave card).

Police found the drugs utensils and bullet when they searched his sleepout in February this year.

Monson used the stolen paywave card to buy two packets of cigarettes from a service station.

Judge Roberts noted Monson also had $6000 owing in unpaid fines and advised him to watch his step.

Malcolm Joseph Fredrick Stuart Wichman was sentenced to 200 hours community work, on conviction of a charge of possessing an offensive weapon.

The 44-year-old waved an axe at people who were looking for money from him.

Matiu Morunga was sentenced to 40 hours community work after admitting receiving two pouches of stolen tobacco, worth $160.

Morunga, 18, is already serving a sentence of 100 hours community work for his part in a ram raid on the Devon Hotel earlier this year. His probation officer said he had completed 20 hours since June 25.

The 40 hours will be added to it.

■ TINWALD POP-UP SHOP

A treasure trove of free goodies

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Driving past Cheryl Mockford’s house in Tinwald, it’s hard to miss her garage brimming with trinkets and treasures.

But what looks like a big garage sale comes with a big difference – because Mockford’s giving almost everything away for free.

The Thomson Street resident has launched what she describes as a “popup everything shop” to find new homes for all manner of preloved items – clothes, toys, kitchenware, crafts, tools and homeware.

The items have been donated by supportive community members and rescued from piles destined for the dump.

“It’s just about helping people, blessing people,” Mockford explained.

“And it’s because I want to stop seeing so much stuff thrown away.”

The initiative started two months ago as a pop-up baby shop, Mockford said, inspired by the number of quality baby

items she’d seen taken to the tip.

But people quickly offered up other items that they thought might be of value to others.

“There’s some really nice things here now, and I don’t take anything if it isn’t clean or tidy,” she said.

She has also taken the opportunity to create her own garage sale table on the side, where she is selling her own items for a small price.

For three days a week her garage door is wide open, and for members of the public to peruse.

Community members often donate their own items in exchange for something else – but there’s no obligation to do so, Mockford said.

She’s now acquired so many items she’s looking for a bigger building to host her pop-up shop for six months or so, and welcoming any offers or ideas.

Her pop-up everything shop is open on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 9am to 4pm at 173 Thomson Street.

Right – Cheryl Mockford has transformed her garage into a treasure trove of giveaway goodies.

Ex-local brings comedy show to Chch

Comedy producer Bec Sandys is bringing Kiwi comedy star Paul Ego to Canterbury next month.

The born and bred Ashburtonian, today based in Auckland and Christchurch, has her own production company, called Pop Up Comedy.

For the past 18 months she has been producing comedy in Auckland, running regular open mic nights, and pro-comedy gigs featuring some of the country’s bestknown talent.

Now for the first time she is bringing a show to Christchurch – Comedy Night at Spectators Bar in Addington on October 13, which will headline 7 Days team leader Paul Ego. “I’m hoping to attract Mid Cantabrians, because it’s their chance to see Paul Ego do half an hour of stand-up, you are up close and personal,” she said.

Fellow comedians would also feature – Paul Douglas as MC and Audrey Porne and Joe Daymond in support acts.

Sandys got into comedy production through contacts she made when playing the female lead in New Zealand featurelength movie Cade in 2016.

OUR VIEW

When a simple holiday goes wrong M

any Mid Cantabrians will have been following the story of Kiwi mum, Abby Hartley.

The Hamilton mum of two fell ill while holidaying in Bali almost six weeks ago and had been in a coma in a Bali Hospital ever since.

Unfortunately, Hartley, 41, died over the weekend – just hours after being given the all-clear to fly home by medical professionals.

It is a tragic story of a family who fought with everything they had to bring their wife and mum back to her native land to give her the opportunity at a best possible recovery, but unfortunately,

everything has happened a little too late.

Stories like this capture the attention of a nation for all variance of reasons.

Many will have been drawn in through the compassion and emotion, which reading, viewing or hearing the story brought.

So many of us would be able to

relate to the situation, everyone at least tries to or has an overseas holiday at some point in their lives and we do so with the hopeful knowledge that insurance companies will be there to help if required.

But the truth is that it’s not always the case.

There are, sadly and particularly in this instance, cases where the insurance companies don’t have to pay out and they are usually the stories we hear the most about, due to the struggle being that much more real for those living through the nightmare.

Sadly, for reasons not specifically divulged in the story

of Abby Hartley, an insurance payout was not available and therefore the onus was put on her family to try and raise the funds to get her back to New Zealand for more comprehensive care to help with her illness.

New Zealanders, as they so often do, supported the cause with more than $230,000 raised through a Givaealittle page – a figure which only scratched the surface of the medical bills, but which would have made a considerable difference none the less.

And so, the debate raged as to whether the government should have stepped in to help.

There’s no doubt that the

country is very split on whether they should have or not – and you have to feel for those who had to make the decision to not help, because they too are humans and that caring nature of many humans would have tugged firmly on their heart strings.

But with more than 300 medical cases being presented to the Ministry of Foreign Trade Affairs and Trade each year, it’s simple to see why help wasn’t available.

It is just unfortunate that in this circumstance, the outcome has been a sad one and Abby Hartley won’t be returning home as planned and a family is left broken.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Wednesday, September 12, the 255th day of 2018. There are 110 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On September. 12, 1942, during World War Two, a German U-boat off West Africa torpedoed the RMS Laconia, which was carrying Italian prisoners of war, British soldiers and civilians; it’s estimated more than 1600 people died while some 1100 survived after the ship sank. The German crew, joined by other U-boats, began rescue operations.

On this date: In 1846, Elizabeth Barrett secretly married Robert Browning at St Marylebone Church in London.

In 1914, during World War One, the First Battle of the Marne ended in an Allied victory against Germany.

In 1953, Massachusetts Sen John F. Kennedy married Jacqueline Lee Bouvier in Newport, Rhode Island.

In 1958, the US Supreme Court, in Cooper v. Aaron, unanimously ruled that Arkansas officials who were resisting public school desegregation orders could not disregard the high court’s rulings.

In 1959, the Soviet Union launched its Luna 2 space probe, which made a crash landing on the moon.

In 1977, South African black student leader and anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko, 30, died while in police custody, triggering an international outcry.

In 1986, Joseph Cicippio, the acting comptroller at the American University in Beirut, was kidnapped.

In 1987, reports surfaced that Democratic presidential candidate Joseph Biden had borrowed, without attribution, passages of a speech by British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock for one of his own campaign speeches.

In 1992, the space shuttle Endeavour blasted off, carrying with it Mark Lee and Jan Davis, the first married couple in space; Mae Jemison, the first black woman in space; and Mamoru Mohri, the first Japanese national to fly on a US spaceship. Police

Can labelling alter your life?

D

id you, as a child, somehow end up with a tidy little label attached to

you?

Were you: The sporty one?

The smart one?

The joker that made everyone laugh?

Or maybe (heaven forbid) you were the ominous black sheep, the messy rebel who never fit in?

As humans, we feel better if we can sort people into boxes by either their talents (or supposed lack of them), behaviour or appearance.

Often there is at least a shadow of truth to these labels, but the danger is always that we may succumb to what is known as The Pygmalion Effect (coined from the George Bernard Shaw play), where people are influenced by the expectations put upon them.

To put it simply, we become what we are told we are and behave in a way those around us expect us to.

This can be incredibly limiting and does not encourage us to grow and change.

Maybe if you are the sporty one, you feel that choosing an academic career isn’t your

designated path.

Or maybe you are labelled (sometimes almost affectionately) as the family mess who is resigned to never being the one who is sorted, and maybe you feel it’s just easier and safer to stay in that role rather than try to prove everyone (including yourself ) wrong.

Language is a powerful thing and we become easily conditioned to the roles we have been given.

While, often, these labels are not a deliberate attempt to limit us, others do tend to get uncomfortable when we step away from the labels assigned to us, because we are challenging the very way in which they see the world.

Every family has an unspoken role attached to each family member and breaking out of these roles can feel like upset-

ting a very real balance.

Circles of friends and workplaces can have a similar dynamic.

It doesn’t always just come externally either: our own internal dialogue and labelling can be just as damaging.

Henry Ford once famously said “Whether you think you can, or think you can’t, you’re right”.

How often have you told yourself you are not a runner/ reader/baker/entrepreneur or whatever it is that you feel is out of your range of capabilities?

Of course, natural talent is a real thing, but it really just gives us a shorter runway and a head start.

Effort, mindset and grit are the real key to any kind of success.

These seemingly viscous labels become limiting beliefs that stop us reaching our potential.

We can’t always control whatever labels others assign to us, but we can decide whether these labels define us ‘always’, or just ‘now’.

We are never just one thing, we are like crystals, complex and multi-faceted, and where we put our focus and effort de-

pends on which of these facets shine the brightest.

The stories we have told ourselves, and that others have told us, are often our biggest hurdle to happiness and success.

We create our own self-fulfilling prophecies, to our own detriment.

Flip the Pygmalion effect and make it work for you.

Tell yourself the stories you need to hear.

You are worthy, you are successful, you are intelligent, you can run a marathon, read a book a week, own a bakery, start your own business.

You can be scared of commitment and let yourself fall in love.

You can be an athlete with a law degree.

You can be a rebellious black sheep and an epic entrepreneur.

If you are willing to put in the work, there is no label you can’t break free of.

Killer ‘stayed with bodies’ A man accused of killing three generations of the one family allegedly stayed in the home with their bodies for several days.

Anthony Robert Harvey faced court yesterday charged with five counts of murder after police discovered the bodies of his daughters, twin girls Alice and Beatrix, 2, and Charlotte, 3, his partner Mara, 47, and her mother Beverley Quinn, 74.

Harvey, 24, appeared on video link from Karratha Magistrates Court wearing a T-shirt, jeans and no shoes and has been remanded in custody.

The family of the deceased released a statement via police saying they are heartbroken, describing Mrs Harvey as a loving mum.

“There are no words to explain the emptiness and loss that we are feeling,” her sister Taryn said.

“This world is a sadder place with the loss of these five beautiful people but heaven has gained five new angels.”

Earlier yesterday, the court was told the murders of Mrs Harvey and the children allegedly took place on September 3, while their grandmother was allegedly killed the following day.

When magistrate Joe Randazzo asked Mr Harvey if he understood each murder charge, he simply said: “I understand.”

Police Commissioner Chris Dawson told media yesterday afternoon that no gun was used, but “several weapons” were involved.

“What we are alleging a blunt instrument and knives were used,” he said.

Commissioner Dawson said the two adults were allegedly killed in the kitchen and the children in other rooms of the house.

Police allege Mr Harvey stayed at the home for a “number of days” before he travelled to the Pilbara region and turned himself into police.

In the last four months, 15 people have died in three separate family tragedies in Western Australia.

“Crimes like this have a

Locklear put in psych unit Troubled actress Heather Locklear has reportedly been placed in a Los Angeles psychiatric hospital after becoming violent towards her parents. According to TMZ, the 56-year-old became agitated over the weekend, so her parents reportedly went over to her home. It was then that Locklear allegedly became violent, attacking her mother and father.

According to audio heard by TMZ, the caller claimed Locklear was “acting erratically” and had threatened to find a gun.

“No matter that most of us did not immediately know this family, there is a sense of shock and indeed even at times anger for what has taken place.”

He said he could understand why the community felt affected by the latest atrocity and urged anyone who was experiencing any kind of anxiety to contact helplines.

In an emotional statement issued via police, Mrs Harvey’s sister Taryn thanked the public for their well wishes during a “dark and difficult time”.

“Beverley was a kind hearted, caring mother and grandmother and was always there for her family,” she said.

“She was very much family orientated and she loved her daughters and grandchildren, and would have done anything for them.

“Mara loved being a mum and she loved her girls. She was so proud of each of them and was doing a great job of raising them.

“Her girls were her world.

“Charlotte was an energetic,

bubbly confident little girl who loved people and loved socialising.

“Alice was outgoing, adventurous and cheeky, while Beatrix was at times a little bit more quiet but gave the biggest hugs.”

Harvey surrendered himself to Pannawonica police station on Sunday afternoon, a town more than 15 hours north of the Perth suburb of Bedford where the family was found.

A number of neighbours confirmed to news.com.au Mrs Quinn was employed as a fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) worker for a mining company.

Pannawonica in the state’s mining region of Pilbara is a busy, temporary base for workers employed in the sector.

It’s believed Harvey gave police officers information about the family, which led investigators in Perth to attend the Coode Street home.

Police declined to explain what Harvey said to lead them to the scene.

Police told news.com.au that the man spent the night being interviewed by detectives and was helping them

with their inquiries.

In August 2014, Ms Quinn took to social media to announce she was newly engaged.

Her first daughter was born about six months later.

Distraught neighbours have spoken about the family and how they hadn’t been seen in recent days.

The street, normally filled with the laughter of the three girls, has been eerily quiet.

Nearby neighbour Doug Roberston told news.com.au he often heard the girls playing.

“Who would want to hurt some little children?” Robertson said.

“I just don’t understand it.”

“I didn’t see the kids but I could hear them playing. I just can’t believe this has happened.”

Alfie Campos, who lives behind the family’s house, described the horrific situation as like living in “a bad dream”.

“You wake up in the morning and it seems like some weird dream, but it is reality,” Campos told news.com.au.

“It’s just awful.”

New York based Maia Cotton has just been booked for her first Victoria’s Secret show and took to Instagram to celebrate. “This is my face permanently for a little while!!! I am so ecstatic to say that I’ll be walking this years VICTORIA’S SECRET FASHION SHOW!!” “I used to think about what this moment might feel like, and it is simply indescribable. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined I would get the opportunity to cast, let alone confirm the show of a lifetime.”

‘The saddest recordings you will ever hear’ Moments before United Airlines Flight 175 smashed into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, a passenger left a voicemail for the wife he’d left behind in Massachusetts.

“Jules, this is Brian. Listen, I’m on an airplane that’s been hijacked,” said Brian Sweeney, a 38-year-old aeronautics consultant and former Navy pilot.

“If things don’t go well, and it’s not looking good, I just

want you to know that I absolutely love you.

“I want you to do good, go have good times – same to my parents and everybody – and I just totally love you … and I’ll see you when you get there.

“Bye babe. I hope I call you.”

Sweeney called his mother to say he loved her, and tell her the passengers were planning to fight back. “They might come back here,” he said.

“I might have to go. We are

going to try to do something about this.”

Three minutes later, the plane crashed into the top floors of the South Tower.

The voicemail is one of the heart-wrenching final messages that visitors to New York’s 9/11 museum can listen to through telephones fixed to the walls.

They are the last words of passengers, crew members and office workers who were

among the 2996 killed when terrorists hijacked planes and crashed them into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania.

Their voices convey both the primal fear of the moment they realised they are very likely to die, as well as a need to reassure and comfort loved ones.

They are perhaps the saddest recordings you will ever hear.

The new Miss America Miss New York Nia Imani Franklin was named Miss America 2019 in Atlantic City. Her victory resurrects a string of successes the Empire State has had in the pageant in recent years. Mallory Hagan, Nina Davuluri and Kira Kazantsev won the title from 2013 to 2015 competing as Miss New York. A classical vocalist whose pageant platform is “advocating for the arts,” Franklin sang an operatic selection from the opera La Boheme on Sunday night. She wrote her first song at age six.

It went “Love, love, love, love, is the only thing that matters to me, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.”

Electricity costs causing hardship

More public toilets will be built at tourist hotspots following the latest round of funding from the Government’s tourism infrastructure fund.

Tourism Minister Kelvin Davis announced the allocation of $19.3 million yesterday, with much of the funding going to wastewater and sewage schemes and public toilets.

The largest investments include: ■ $5.71m to the Southland District Council for the construction of a new land-based wastewater disposal system at Te Anau, infrastructure along the Southern Scenic Route and the upgrading of a carpark at Lake Manapouri Visitor Centre ■ $2.39m to Queenstown Lakes District Council for the provision of toilet facilities across key locations throughout the district ■ $2m to Thames-Coromandel District Council for an upgrade of visitor infrastructure in Hahei to respond to growth at nearby Cathedral Cove, as

well as upgrades and new toilet facilities at Whangapoua and Onemana beaches ■ $1.34m to the Far North District Council for three Bay of Islands sewerage and wastewater feasibility studies, toilet facilities across the district and the upgrade of carpark at Kawakawa to support the Hundertwasser Park Centre.

■ $980,000 to the Westland District Council for the provision of toilet and freedom camping facilities at Ross, Whataroa, Kumara and Hokitika.

Around 30 toilet or wastewater projects will be co-funded (with local authorities) from the Tourism Infrastructure Fund, which provides $100m over four years for the development of visitor-related public infrastructure.

Funds are also going to multipurpose cycling hub near Taupo, tourism facilities in Gisborne to support the celebration next year of Captain James Cook’s arrival in 1769 and a feasibility study looking at infrastructure for public rocket-launch viewing facilities

and the Wairoa to Gisborne cycle trail.

Davis said the funding was to ensure local communities could feel the benefits of a healthy tourism sector, rather than the pressure it can create.

The funding will be spread across 31 councils and community organisations.

He said the funding was on top of the $8.5m the Government committed last month to help communities manage freedom camping in their areas during the upcoming summer season.

The Government was also imposing an international visitor levy to provide sustainable funding for infrastructure and conservation.

Under the proposal, most international visitors (except those from Australia and the Pacific) entering New Zealand for 12 months or less will be charged a levy of $25 to $35.

Davis said the Government was also funding attractions through the Provincial Growth Fund that would help provide year-round jobs in the regions.

August increase for electronic card spending New Zealand retail spending on electronic cards rose in August as payments on fuel surged, following a downward revision to the previous month’s figures.

Seasonally adjusted total retail spending on credit and debit cards rose 1 per cent after lifting 0.2 per cent in July, Statistics New Zealand said. Core retail spending, which excludes vehicle-related industries, rose 0.7 per cent, after increasing 0.3 per cent in July.

Westpac senior economist Mi-

chael Gordon said the 1.1 per cent gain in spending, including services, was ahead of market forecasts, though it was offset by a downward revision of the July growth to 0.2 per cent from the previous figure of 0.7 per cent.

Yesterday’s data shows card spending rose in all of the six retail industries in August. Spending on fuel advanced 4.1 per cent while seasonally adjusted consumables spending, rose 0.6 per cent in the month. Spending on apparel rose

2.6 per cent, after July’s 1.8 per cent fall.

Actual total retail spending using electronic cards increased 6.3 per cent in August to $5.2 billion compared with the same month a year earlier.

Card-holders across all industries made 146 million transactions in the month, up from 143 million in July. The average value of $49 was unchanged on the month and up $1 from a year ago.

The panel found no evidence of excessive profits in the sector, but thinks the market for wholesale electricity contracts needs to be improved to reduce the market power of major generators when supplies are tight.

It wants the decade-long debate over transmission pricing resolved in a way that delivers efficient, fair and durable outcomes.

It also highlighted concerns about inefficiencies within some distribution networks, including access to meter data, the small size

Specific issues the panel was asked to consider include reviewing the impact of the low-fixed charge regime, whether suppliers have been able to extract excessive profits over time and whether customers in particular regions or industry segments are being fairly treated.

It will receive submissions on yesterday’s paper from the public and industry before reporting back with recommendations to the gov-

industry, regulators and government must tackle together,” the panel said in an overview of its report.

The eight-strong panel, comprising industry experts and consumer representatives, was appointed in April as part of the coalition and support agreements between the Labour, NZ First and Green parties.

Its terms of reference require it to consider whether the electricity market is delivering efficient prices that are fair for end consumers, and whether the existing struc-

of some networks and the quality of governance.

The Labour-led government has already introduced a blanket winter energy payment for all superannuitants and beneficiaries.

But the government has done nothing to remove the low fixedcharge regulations put in place by the then Labour government in 2004. Falling domestic power use over time, and greater uptake of solar in recent years, means that about half the country now qualifies for the low fixed charge plans, including many of the country’s most wealthy.

The panel cited data showing residential power prices – excluding inflation – have risen 79 per cent since 1990. During the same period industrial prices rose 18 per cent, while commercial prices fell 24 per cent.

Fairness may dictate readjusting some distributors’ shared network costs from households to other consumers, the panel said.

But overall it says the industry delivers a consistent, high-quality power supply and ranks highly by world standards. Generation is also 80 per cent renewable, but converting the remaining 20 per cent will involve challenges. – NZME

Electricity providers, regulators and the government need to do more to help families struggling to meet their energy costs, an expert advisory panel says.

More than 100,000 households are spending more than 10 per cent of their income on domestic energy costs, the group says.

Many are not benefiting from the increased retail competition in the sector, with some also being harmed by prompt-payment discounts which budgeting groups say have become de facto late-payment penalties. The government’s low fixed charge regulations are also poorly targeted and are pushing some families into hardship, the panel says in its first issues paper.

Changes coming in the sector, such as greater use of solar and electric vehicles, also risk placing more costs on lower-income consumers if industry pricing models don’t change.

And even when they do, the expected move to more seasonal pricing and peak and off-peak daily pricing will also hurt some consumers.

“Targeted social welfare measures can help reduce energy hardship. But it is clearly a problem the

Drama overshadows shock win N

Australian Open boss calling for clarity

aomi Osaka became the first woman from Japan to win a Grand Slam singles tennis title at the weekend.

It was an incredible feat from a great young talent, but it’s a fact that you may well have missed due to the route the US Open women’s singles final ended up taking.

Osaka was up against it, taking on the world’s best in Serena Williams, but she well and truly rose to the challenge – and what a challenge it was.

Now, I didn’t see the game as I was working, but I’ve read plenty of stories and columns about it since.

From what I understand Williams pretty much had a monumental meltdown of epic proportions, claiming racism and sexism played a leading role in her being handed a game penalty at a crucial stage of the match.

Everyone in the tennis world seemed to have something to say about it.

Some former players came out in support of Williams and praised her for lifting the lid on what was potentially a much bigger problem in the sport, while others rejected her claims as nonsense.

Some said her finger-pointing

Erin Tasker SPORTS REPORTER

tirade was justified, while others said she was simply having a diva moment.

Some said umpire Carlos Ramos was just doing his job, others say he went too far.

So, what was my take?

To be honest my take was somewhere in the middle.

I felt both Williams and Ramos went too far.

She shouldn’t have gone right off her rocker the way she did, but the resulting actions of the umpire pretty much ended up deciding the final, which was a shame.

What began it all was Williams receiving a point penalty for allegedly receiving coaching from her player box.

She denied it, and to be honest, I believed her.

In a post-match interview Williams stated she didn’t cheat, she wouldn’t cheat to win, and she’d never had to cheat to win. And she was right.

As the game progressed, and it

wasn’t going her way, Williams would no doubt have become stressed.

A new mum on the comeback trail, she was expected to add another title to her collection, and the rate things were going she wasn’t going to.

So, she did what countless players did these days, and smashed up her racket on the ground.

She was pulled up on it, and so she should have been.

When a player smashed a racket on the court – something that happened far too regularly – it needed to be treated seriously, and over the years it hadn’t been treated seriously enough.

These players are role models for youngsters around the world and need to act like it.

But the biggest talking point was that Williams claimed that her actions and her response were no worse than that of some men players, who got off much more lightly.

And she was probably right, but whether that was due to her sex or race, I doubt that very much.

Ramos is an experienced umpire who is no stranger to dishing out warnings and code violations.

A stickler for the rules who has

had on court run-ins with many a player – Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal and Nick Kyrgios to name a few – Ramos was just doing his job.

Maybe he simply decided enough was enough, and he was not going to be spoken to like that by anyone, and Williams needed to be made an example of.

The fact that it happened in the final of a Grand Slam was a shame, but maybe it would make players take notice.

Bad behaviour on the tennis court would not be tolerated.

Whoever was right or wrong here, the one thing this moment in tennis history has done, is to start a conversation about rules and the treatment of women as opposed to men in the game of tennis, and maybe it was time that conversation was had.

At the end of the day, the biggest disappointment from the Williams/Ramos incident was that it took away from what should have been a tremendous moment in sport.

A young 20-year-old Japanese woman had just become her country’s first Grand Slam tennis champion and the moment should have been all about her, but Williams’ actions took that away from her.

Expansion not the answer

By GreGor Paul

F

air play to World Rugby, they have at least nailed the sales job on why they are looking to expand the World Cup from 20 to 24 teams.

It is, so they say, all about providing more opportunities for emerging nations so the game can grow in new markets.

There is some truth to that well spun argument but not enough to divert anyone with even a modest dose of cynicism from realising that expansion is not being driven by a feel-good tale of inclusion and opportunity, but by cold, hard cash.

More teams means more money.

It’s that simple.

More teams means bigger TV audiences which means more money for broadcast rights and sponsorships.

And that’s not such a bad thing to be driven by commercial rather than rugby imperatives.

World Rugby shouldn’t be ashamed of milking the World Cup, for it remains their one and only pay day.

Almost every dollar they spend on developing the game is generated from the World Cup, so if they want to try to drive the revenue higher by expanding, there is justification.

But that doesn’t mean it is the

right thing to do.

If World Rugby really wants to give lower-ranked nations a better route to develop, why not provide them with regular test football against Tier One nations?

Coming to a World Cup every four years to be annihilated by the All Blacks and the other Tier One heavyweights hardly seems the right way to develop the playing prowess of the likes of Spain, Germany and Hong Kong, who are presumably the sorts of nations who will fill the extra World Cup places should they be created.

Instead, why not build a more inclusive regular test schedule that sees the likes of New Zealand play in Tibilisi against Georgia?

Why not make sure that Germany play the likes of Italy and Scotland every year?

Wouldn’t Samoa have a better chance of fulfilling their obvious potential if they had the guarantee of annual home tests against the likes of England and Wales?

Look how much Japan have improved since they were hammered by the All Blacks in 1995.

In 2015 they pulled off the shock of the tournament when they beat the Springboks, but their progression wasn’t accelerated simply by coming to a World Cup every four years.

Japan have become a more serious international force because they have had more exposure to serious international competition in between World Cups.

They have had regular tests against all the major Tier One nations and particularly strong exposure to the likes of Georgia, Italy, Samoa and Tonga.

Playing teams that are at or about the same level with a few fixtures against those that are clearly above, is the way Japan have improved.

This surely is the path that would work best for the likes of Belgium, Russia, Canada and Romania who have committed players but not always the fixture lists to grow them.

World Rugby needs to be thinking about the best order in which to place the cart and the horse as expanding the World Cup to 24 teams is putting the wrong one in front of the other.

Build a meaningful schedule for the emerging nations and then expand the World Cup to 24 teams.

- NZME

By Ben McKay The Australian Open tournament director has urged world tennis chiefs to lock in a position on inmatch coaching in light of the stormy US Open women’s final.

Craig Tiley says the rise of Japanese winner Naomi Osaka is only good news for his tournament, badged as the grand slam of the Asia-Pacific.

But the sport continues to reel from the nature of the match, in which Osaka triumphed over Serena Williams.

The legendary American railed against three code violations, beginning with an archaic call on coaching from the box that preluded penalties for racquet abuse and umpire abuse, as she lost in straight sets.

Tiley refused to be critical of Williams, instead referring to the first judgment that started the spiral.

“It all centred around coaching ... the sport has to really get itself sorted out on what it does with coaching,” Tiley said.

“Are we going to have coaching?

Are we not going to have coaching? What is it going to look like?

“The sport needs to get together and sort it out.

“Once that’s sorted out, we don’t have the issue.”

Tiley, who spent a decade coaching College tennis in the United States, said he was a personal advocate for allowing some coaching.

Australian ace Thanasi Kokkinakis, speaking alongside Tiley in Melbourne on Monday, disagreed.

The Australian Open and US Open have trialled mid-match coaching in their qualifying events this year.

“It was a bit strange in US Open quallies,” Kokkinakis said.

“I know they’re always looking to evolve the sport ... I’m comfortable with how it is.

“The rule is a little grey.

“The sooner they sort that out, the better for everyone.”

Tiley said he didn’t expect the 23-time grand slam winner to be treated differently at Melbourne Park next January.

The big change at the 2019 tournament will be the emergence of Osaka.

“What an unbelievable performance, the entire two weeks,” he said.

“For us as the grand slam in the Asia Pacific, to have a player from Japan, the first time ever a player from Japan to win that title in the fashion that she did, is particularly exciting.

“We all see how the Japanese fans flock to see Kei Nishikori.

“It’s going to have a significant positive impact on our Open, on our fans.”

■ GOLF

Right down to the wire Extra holes were required to find the winners in two Aorangi pennants golf finals involving teams from the Tinwald Golf Club on Sunday.

Unfortunately for both though, it just wasn’t their day, with both sides going down in tense finishes at the Ashburton Golf Club.

The Tinwald team of Nigel Heney, Regan Stills, Jeff Hewitt and Owen Miller played off against a team from Timaru’s

Highfield in the top grade’s Holmes Cup final but lost, while in the Hayes Cup final the Tinwald team of Shane Moore, Matthew Walker, Logan Tasker and Andrew Peck was beaten by a team from Pleasant Point.

In the day’s other final, in the Redpath section, a team from the Temuka Golf Club beat a Geraldine Golf Club team 9.5 to 2.5, and the player of the series was named as Highfield Golf Club’s Daniel Perham.

Semi-finals for the other grades were also contested at Ashburton on Sunday, and two Tinwald teams came through to ensure the club would get two more chances at silverware this coming weekend.

In the Moyes section, Tinwald downed St Andrews 13-4 in one semi-final and sealed a place in the final against Geraldine.

Geraldine overcame the Mt Nessing 10-7 side in the other semi-final.

It was an all-South Canterbury affair in the Alexander final, with Temuka having defeated Gleniti 12.5 to 4.5 in one semi-final, and Geraldine beating Rakaia 10.5 to 6.5 in the other semi.

The Patterson division would be all Mid Canterbury though, with Mayfield set to take on Tinwald.

Mayfield defeated Fairlie 14-3 in one semi-final, while Tinwald downed Temuka 13-4 in the other.

GWS duo Toby Greene and Jacob Hopper have accepted fines from the AFL match review officer after being cited for incidents in Saturday’s elimination final win against Sydney. Greene has been fined $2500 for misconduct for dropping his knee into the head of Sydney’s Isaac Heeney while Hopper copped a $2500 sanction for careless umpire contact. Sydney’s Zak Jones has accepted a $2000 fine for rough conduct on Giants co-captain Callan Ward.

Voke on the charge

Bradley wins BMW Championship in play-off

By Evin PriEst Keegan Bradley choked back tears and kissed his wife after a play-off victory at the BMW Championship ended six years of torment.

The 32-year-old’s career took a hit when golf’s rule makers outlawed the anchoring of putters to the body in 2016 – when he was already struggling.

The emotion of his winless drought, which stretched back to his 2012 WGC-Bridgestone title, boiled to the surface as he defeated England’s Justin Rose in extra holes at Aronimink Golf Club.

“It’s so hard ... this is just incredible,” a tearful Bradley said.

Both overnight leader Rose (67)

and Bradley (64) bogeyed the final hole in regulation to finish at 20-under-par after a rain-soaked final round yesterday.

But when Rose three-putted from off the green in suddendeath, Bradley tapped-in for par to win the second-last event of the $67 million FedExCup playoffs series.

Americans Billy Horschel (64) and Xander Schauffele (67) finished in a share of third at 19 under.

Bradley was building an impressive resume in 2011 when he won the PGA Championship for his second win of the year using an anchored putter.

He added the 2012 WGCBridgestone and made two Ryder Cup appearance for the US be-

fore the 2016 ban on anchoring saw his career slide.

“It’s tough to go from being on Ryder Cup teams, being on Presidents Cup teams to (falling) outside the top 100 in the world; that was difficult,” Bradley said.

“Two years ago, I had missed over 10 cuts. I was in jeopardy of not making the (FedEx Cup) play-offs and I was really struggling.

“I’m speechless (with the BMW win); it took a lot of hard work and lot of people helped me along the way.”

Tiger Woods mounted another vintage charge but dropped shots on his back-nine has been the story of his comeback season from spinal surgery.

The 14-time major winner

bagged four birdies on the opening nine and pulled within one shot of the lead on the back side but carded a 65 to share sixth at 17 under.

“I’ve played a few tournaments where I was close at the end,” Woods said, whose missed opportunities to win this year include the British Open and PGA Championship.

“But to say I’ve made it to the Tour Championship after what I’ve been through is a pretty good accomplishment,” Woods added.

Australia’s Jason Day carded an even-par 70 to share 24th place at 11 under, while countryman Marc Leishman’s 68 left him in a tie for 41st at six under.

Adam Scott (68) tied for 51st at four under.

■ CRICKET

Centuries book-end career

By DaviD Clough Alastair Cook has famously never sweated throughout his recordbreaking 12-year test career, but his all-time England highest runs haul was undoubtedly hardearned throughout.

Even back in December 2010 after seven hours in the 40°C Adelaide heat, the man who would become a four-time Ashes winner – twice as captain – claimed barely a bead of perspiration as he walked into a press conference to reflect on his second successive hundred of a memorably victorious tour.

It was a physical peculiarity which meant England threw the ball to no-one else whenever they needed it dust dry in search of reverse-swing.

Curiously, though, it belied Cook’s greatest assets of determination and ability to graft for sessions, sometimes days, on end without losing concentration.

Cook, who has called time on his international career at the age of 33, will be treasured for generations for the unique stickability which eventually brought him 12,472 runs and 33 centuries in the test arena.

The last of those hundreds came in his final innings, the left-hander scoring 147 in England’s series finale against India before leaving The Oval field to a standing ovation, his place in the history books secure.

There is every prospect in fact, in the changing test landscape he is about to leave behind, that the one-time St Paul’s Cathedral School chorister and clarinetist’s childhood change of direction has culminated in a body of work on the cricket pitch which will never be bettered by any English successor.

From the moment he first began to make a name for himself at the start of this millennium, the signposts to a potentially great career were evident.

Sometimes a mere scorecard, or circumstances surrounding a match or innings, can speak volumes about an individual performance.

Cook’s statistics had already turned heads in his days as a schoolboy at Bedford and a clubcricket prodigy for Maldon in Essex.

When he then hit back-to-back unbeaten centuries on consecutive days for England Under-19s

in South Africa, it was indicative already of a special talent.

Two years later, within hours of receiving his Cricket Writers’ Club young player of the year award at a London hotel, Cook was back at Chelmsford the next morning taking guard for Essex and what would be an unbeaten doublehundred against Australia.

By the next winter, there was the first demonstration of his ability – and resourcefulness – on the international stage when he flew 9600km from an A tour in the Caribbean to make his test debut in Nagpur where he scored 60 at his first attempt and then an unbeaten second-innings century.

These were feats beyond the ordinary, and a national-record 32 further test hundreds later, Cook has continued to prove he simply does not observe traditional boundaries of what is achievable.

Yes, a couple of double-centuries apart, he began to find it all an extra struggle in the final year or so of his career – and remarked as he announced his retirement that there was “nothing left in the tank”.

In fact, throughout, Cook never made his outstanding success look easy, nor was his career – 161

Star batsman Alistair Cook tests and a world-record 159 in succession – a seamless upward curve.

Far from it, in fact.

Further travails as captain, in-

cluding the saga of Kevin Pietersen’s test exile and his own protracted century droughts, would surely have derailed a less resolute or driven character.

But if Cook has a pre-eminent skill, it is not so much his reliable back-foot technique as that mental resilience which meant he simply would not yield in times of stress and would plough on in search of runs long past normal endurance levels.

His words, as he prepared for a successful Ashes summer in 2015, remain instructive too.

“Cricket is a great game,” said Cook.

“Cricket has been my life for years and years – I have been incredibly lucky to have experienced what cricket has given to me, from playing club cricket when I was 14 then getting picked for Essex, all those experiences.

“That’s why I love the game.”

That, in short, is why English cricket followers should love him back too.

Only through sheer endeavour and tenacity did he harness the talent to far surpass his mentor Graham Gooch as the most successful batsman in English test history.

In brief

■ TEA ROSE STAKES

Sydney riches beckon Stakes winning filly Santa Catarina has arrived in Sydney ahead of a tilt at Saturday’s Gr.2 Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) at Randwick.

The Stephen Marsh-trained daughter of Savabeel was a laststart runner-up at Taupo when resuming over 1100m and boasts a Listed victory over that distance at Te Rapa in May. “She flew out yesterday afternoon and arrived in the early evening at Randwick at John Sargent’s,” Marsh said.

“She’s travelled very well and ate well last night, and she seems pretty bright in herself.”

“If she can get the right draw and take a good position she will get her chance.

“She will improve again with the run, but this will tell us exactly where we are with her.”

Marsh, who is yet to lock in a rider, said the three-year-old filly

M2

was likely to have a brief spring campaign in Sydney, a tactic used successfully with Sofia Rosa, who later returned in the autumn to win the Gr.1 Australian Oaks (2400m).

“If she runs well, she will carry on to the Flight Stakes (Gr.1, 1600m) in two weeks’ time and win, lose or draw in that she will come home,” Marsh said.

“If she doesn’t run up to expectations, we will head back and get our spring campaign back on track in New Zealand.”

Santa Catarina is raced by prominent New Zealand owner Lib Petagna under his JML Bloodstock banner.

The Wellington owner has also enjoyed success with the Marshtrained Sofia Rosa, while the Cambridge conditioner was the initial trainer of Lucia Valentina, who later went on to win three

Trainer Stephen Marsh Group One races for Newcastle trainer Kris Lees.

Meanwhile, Marsh said last Saturday’s Listed Wanganui Guineas (1340m) winner Bobby Dazzler had taken a few days to recover from his brave performance.

“Early stages he seemed a bit tired, but I gave him a couple of days in the paddock,” Marsh said.

“Today I gave him a very light canter and he seemed very bright in himself.

“We want to get to the New Zealand 2000 Guineas. How we get there is a different story.

“We don’t need to go to any specific race, just as long as we get him there.”

Marsh said he had considered an Australian campaign with the three-year-old but believes it would be a bit much for him at this stage.

“I gave it serious consideration, but I think he will be a better horse in the autumn and he was a bit jaded after Saturday, so a VRC Derby campaign might be a bit arduous at this stage.”

- NZME

Grunt up for Makybe Caulfield trainer Mick Price is looking forward to lining up his exciting four-year-old Grunt in the Gr.1 Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington on Saturday, his first major spring target. The Group One winner has had two runs this preparation and while he was unplaced in both, Price was happy enough with his runs and said the roomier track and the step up in distance to a mile will suit the O’Reilly entire. - NZME

Speeding Spur back Trainer John Dickie will talk to stipendiary stewards in an effort to be as honest as possible with punters before Speeding Spur returns at Alexandra Park on Friday night.

The favourite for last season’s Trotter of the Year title faces a 50m handicap in race three on Friday and Dickie admits it is hardly an ideal starting point for the new season. “He is forward and ready to race but that might not mean he is ready to win,” said Dickie. “If he can come out and win, great. But he won’t be looking to loop them and we want people to know that.”

By Patrick Mckendry Rather than listen too hard to the curiously downbeat Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus, the All Blacks are preparing for the best version of the old enemy in Wellington and the home side are likely to be bolstered by the return of flanker Sam Cane and midfielder Ryan Crotty.

Both will probably be selected in the starting line-up after sitting out last weekend’s 46-24 victory over Argentina in Nelson.

So too, probably, will secondfive Sonny Bill Williams, who has been given the all-clear from his shoulder injury which has kept him out of the game since June, although the big Blues man was ill yesterday morning and wasn’t allowed to train.

The test at Westpac Stadium on Saturday will be the last one at home this year for the All Blacks, and after impressing in two big Bledisloe Cup victories against Australia, and against an improved Pumas, Steve Hansen’s men will be determined to go out on a high.

With the pressure building on Erasmus – in the first year of a six-year contract – after consecutive losses to Argentina in Mendoza and the Wallabies in Brisbane, the Boks coach suggested his job could be on the line if his side don’t deliver, but the All Blacks will be taking little notice.

After shuffling the deck last weekend, and seeing some very good results along with a fair few mistakes, Hansen will be keen on seeing what will be close to his best team play with a little more cohesion against the South Africans and helping with that accuracy will be No.7 Cane who suffered a head knock against the Wallabies at Eden Park.

“I definitely took a whack.

“I remember at the time thinking, ‘Jeez, I’m a bit dazed

Folau, Pocock return The Wallabies are poised for a big boost with Israel Folau and David Pocock likely to return from injury for Saturday’s Rugby Championship clash with Argentina. Folau (ankle) and Pocock (neck) were both late scratchings from last weekend’s 23-18 win over South Africa, which broke a four-test losing streak. Both were due to participate in contact work at yesterday afternoon’s training session, putting them on course to play against Los Pumas at Cbus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast. - AAP

How to avoid the haka Rising Wallaby No. 8 Pete Samu ducked behind a team-mate because an All Black forward kept smiling at him during the haka. The No. 8 played his sixth test for Australia since moving back to his country of birth following three seasons with the Crusaders. Samu had been trying to psyche himself up by eye-balling Moody. “I was trying to keep a straight face because I could see Joe Moody smiling at me,” Samu said. “I had to step in behind one of our tall boys so I didn’t have to look at him.” - NZME Ardie Savea is likely to be replaced by Sam Cane in the All Blacks’ line-up on Saturday. here’,” Cane said yesterday.

“But then I was disappointed considering I’ve already taken one this year, but I woke up the next day feeling fine and took it easy over the next couple of days.

“I literally didn’t feel anything and after a knock you’re always analysing yourself a lot closer than you normally would.

“But I’ve been fine and got into some good training in the back half of that week after the Auckland test and got some real good work done last week – a lot of running and a lot of kms on the clock.”

Cane is likely to replace Ardie Savea in the No.7 jersey, with Crotty, who was knocked out after colliding with Jack Goodhue early in the test against Australia in Sydney, likely to replace his Crusaders team-mate.

Rieko Ioane is likely to return from a hamstring injury suffered in Sydney and will probably join Waisake Naholo and Ben Smith in the back three as the All Blacks look to counter the size and pace of the South Africans.

There will be no Brodie Retallick, with Sam Whitelock likely to partner Scott Barrett in the second row and Liam Squire a near certainty to replace Shannon Frizell at No.6.

“Every week he’s getting closer and closer,” said Foster of the player who could be considered as the best hooker in the world.

“It’s exciting and he’s starting to believe that too I think.

“He’s got that glint in his eye and he’s asking questions and looking for stuff.

“It’s nice to see.

“There’s been a strong progression in his workload and hopefully he’ll be on the park before too long.”

As for the downtrodden Erasmus and a Boks team apparently low on confidence, Foster wasn’t having any of it given the rugby history of two nations and in particular their last encounter in Cape Town last year, a nervewracking 25-24 victory by the All Blacks, saying: “We have to turn up to play a team that will have its best game of the year.”

Going with the flow Kurtley Beale is managing a new hairstyle in one hand and a new position in the other. But the Wallabies playmaker will continue to just “go with the flow”, confident he can make both work in his favour. Beale’s shock move to No.10 came at the expense of regular five-eighth Bernard Foley in Saturday’s defeat of South Africa in Brisbane.

Ronaldo ‘shameless’ Cristiano Ronaldo used to admire himself in the mirror naked and comment on how beautiful he was, according to Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand. These revelations have been revealed

by Peter Crouch, in an excerpt of his entertaining autobiography, Walking Tall: My Story. “Rio would tell us stories about how Cristiano Ronaldo would stand in front of the mirror naked, running his hand through his hair, and say, ‘Wow. I’m so beautiful!’”

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): It might be strange to think of competition as a social skill, but it’s key to our social structures. Today’s competitive interaction will help you decide how best to spend your time and who to spend it with.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Talk can be cheap and also expensive. The value depends on who’s buying it and what they are willing to give for it. Mostly, you’ll pay in attention, which you’re likely to give to those who talk less, not more.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): It’s as if you’re standing on the intersection of life pushing the “walk” button, unsure if it will actually have an influence on the traffic pattern. You’re better off pressing than doing nothing.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): If the aim of spiritual practice is to become a friend to all beings, then it makes no sense to spiritually evolve to dislike someone or a group, and there is no such thing as righteous hatred.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You may find that you keep asking the same question to which you already have the answer. That’s because you don’t like the answer. Either prove it wrong, or accept it so you can move on to better questions.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’ll do the noble thing, which is to say you’ll protect those who are vulnerable and help those who are difficult.

Ignore negative attitudes and try to connect with the goodness in others.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’ve just about forgotten that someone wronged you, probably because you’ve trained your focus on the many things they did right by you. This is how you’ll continue to bring out the best in others.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Even if it’s not technically going so smoothly this morning, a simple nod to the universe will set your day off on the right note. Nothing fancy. “Thanks for everything” will do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): To some degree, moods are choices. They certainly don’t feel like it. But there’s something controllable in them if you’re able to take a mental step back and witness your own emotional landscape.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Allow for mutuality. Don’t let pride get in the way. If you give too much and don’t let anyone give back, people will be robbed of the pleasure of completing the circle of reciprocity.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): One way to clear your mind is to talk it out. But to whom should you talk? Everyone has a bias. Those who love you are the most biased. Perhaps a stranger or a professional will provide the best insight.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): As long as people can change, the world can change. Be the agitator. Someone has to. Without those irritating grains of sand, the world would be bereft of pearls.

Moylan-Maloney clash ‘not personal’

BY LAINE CLARK With friends like James Maloney, Matt Moylan doesn’t need enemies.

Penrith captain Maloney has played down a rivalry with Cronulla No.6 Moylan following their high-profile swap, saying it won’t be personal in their anticipated showdown in Friday’s NRL semi-final.

But it has not stopped the Pan-

thers playmaker from pouring pressure on Moylan, saying the Sharks pivot will be feeling the heat in injured back-rower Wade Graham’s absence.

Maloney said he expected his duel with Moylan to be beaten up in the media ahead of their knockout clash following their huge 2017 swap.

But Maloney says he gets on fine with “Moysa”.

“That’s how they (media) will

drum it up but for me there is nothing personal there – Matty and I get on really well,” he said.

“I left the Sharks on good terms, I have great relationships with all the players and a lot of the staff.

“For me it is about this team progressing to next week and they are the team standing in the way of that – that’s as far as it goes.”

However, Maloney was quick to put Moylan under the pump following news star forward Graham

suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Sharks’ qualifying final loss to Sydney Roosters.

Maloney said it was now up to Moylan to fill the gaping hole in the Sharks’ left edge attack.

“He (Graham) brings a lot to their team, really takes control of that edge of his,” Maloney said.

“It probably puts a lot more pressure on Moysa to be the creative bloke on that edge, but he is more than capable of doing that.”

Debate has raged over which club got the better deal after Maloney left for Penrith looking for a pay upgrade after his Cronulla 2016 premiership heroics, while Moylan reportedly fell out with Panthers coach Anthony Griffin.

For the record, Maloney believes both clubs won.

“Cronulla would be happy with the acquisition of Matty. He’s a young player with plenty of ability and good footy,” he said.
