Survival, the name of the game

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Survival has become the name of the game for large hotels as the Covid-19 pandemic bowls tourism markets around the world.

Hotel Ashburton is no different, and its management agree that the backdrop of many an accommodation premises hitting the dust is just plain scary.

However, owner Johny Singh and general manager David Brown are in it for the long haul, and say they and the hotel’s 45 staff are relying now, more than ever, on local support.

The hotel is described by Singh as an icon of Ashburton. Locally owned and operated, it has a proud history and will turn 50 years old next year.

“We want to be here next year,” Singh said.

“We are determined to celebrate the fiftieth,” Brown added.

The pandemic cancelled New Zealand’s international tourism market which was responsible for more than half of the hotel’s accommodation bookings. And during lockdown, the hotel was closed except for providing accommodation for essential workers.

While they have to date been relying on the government’s wage subsidy to pay staff, they are very much focused on keeping every-

Singh and Brown said the hotel’s business was slowly coming back. They were hugely grateful for all the local support they had had, something they believed they too were focusing on in their daily operation.

They wanted Mid Cantabrians planning any sort of function or

evening out to consider the hotel’s extensive facilities.

These range from function rooms providing for events for anything from 10 to 500 people, ranging from birthday parties and weddings to funerals and large meetings and conferences.

The hotel’s a-la-carte and bistro Clearwater Restaurant is avail-

able to the public as well as inhouse guests, while the beautiful garden at the hotel continues to be renowned for its picture-perfect settings.

The hotel is just as proud of its truly local Turf Bar, where patronage sprung back as New Zealand went to Alert Level 2, although not quite to pre-pandemic levels.

Singh and Brown said Hotel Ashburton is “a one-stop shop”, and it is there to serve locals first and foremost, as it has done for the last almost 50 years.

“We can cater to any need, we can cater to any budget that’s required, we can sit down with people and adapt to what people want,” Singh said.

Roll-out of internet resources causes frustrations

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Principals nationwide have been voicing their frustrations at the poor roll-out of the Government’s $87 million plan to provide IT equipment to children during lockdown, and a local high school had similar issues.

Ashburton College principal Ross Preece said he appreciated the Government’s move to provide the IT equipment that helped to bridge a big equity gap among students, but was frustrated at how it worked out in the end.

“We put in a request to the min-

istry (of education) two weeks into Level 4 for 110 students who did not have suitable devices to support online learning,” he said.

“They arrived on the last Friday that we were in Level 3.”

Preece said the way that the computers arrived they would have required set-up at the school first with the students before they could even be taken home to be used for online learning.

The school also had 12 families that did not have internet access at home, but the school was sent more than 12 modems to get them connected online.

Complete Local Care Since 1982

“We had over 12 modems arrive so we have mixed and matched them a bit,” he said.

“We are grateful for the support from the Government but the reality is if we were still at Level 3 they would still be sitting in the boxes at the school.

“We are grateful they were doing something though as it is an equity issue. Of the 110 students that didn’t have devices, the majority of those were Maori or Pasifika students.”

Preece said students had been happy to get back to school post lockdown, which was reflected in

attendance numbers being above 90 per cent, something he said was uncommon during the winter months.

The ministry’s chief digital officer Stuart Wakefield told the NZ Herald the Ministry of Education had sent out 23,242 computers to students who needed them and had 400 requests outstanding for the top priority group, students in Years 11 to 13 in deciles 1 to 3.

“We have further devices on order with delivery from overseas confirmed. We currently expect them to arrive in late June, and to be dispatched to students in early

July,” he said.

“The ministry has arranged 51,710 household connections to the internet. We estimate that there are around 30,000 still to be arranged and we expect to arrange these by June 30.”

He acknowledged that “we didn’t always get it right”, but said nothing would be wasted.

“Modems not required can be returned and reallocated. If in cases the modem/router wasn’t required, it won’t be wasted – either another household will use it or we will return it,” he said.

Early days of TV recalled It was the birth of a new era when television came to New Zealand 60 years ago. Ashburton’s Ron Arthur was among those helping to bring the magic of moving pictures into living rooms. Susan Sandys reports.

R

on Arthur spent much of his childhood in Ashburton, and was an enthusiastic Air Training Corps Ashburton member as a teenager in 1950.

Under the direction of Flying Officer Scott, he would co-pilot Tiger Moths on flights from the airport at Ashburton on Sundays, the open-cockpit experience a highlight of his young years.

“You just sat there and the wind used to blow through your hair,” he said.

Leaving his Ashburton High School days behind, Ron went off to compulsory military training at the age of 18 at Whenuapai before settling in Nelson.

His earlier fascination with Tiger Moths was soon replaced by something just as exciting – television.

Ron co-owned and managed three home appliance businesses in the area – at Motueka, Stoke and Nelson. After television was introduced to New Zealand in 1960, he was among those who dedicated themselves to bringing the new medium to his area.

He was the first retailer to stock televisions in Nelson, but selling the sets went hand-in-hand with gaining transmission.

“The people wouldn’t just buy a TV set, we had to bring it into their house, show them what type of signal they were going to get, and then they would buy it from you,”

Ron Arthur was heavily involved in introducing television to New Zealand in his younger years.

he said.

“And when we took TV sets into people’s homes to try, you should have seen their faces, they used to light up.”

There could be as many as a dozen people at each house, neighbours having come along as well. And the moment of turning on the TV for the first time was always highly anticipated by the awaiting audience. The lights would go off, curtains were drawn, and everyone would be silent.

“They were quite exciting days when we first started,” he said.

Ron had become involved with technicians in Nelson who were monitoring the signal from WelRon Arthur was a member of the Air Training Corps Ashburton lington and ultimately managed to in 1950.

Soon, at the push of a large button positioned near the channel dial on each set, the room was transformed.

“We turned those on, and the people went ‘wow’.”

About 15 families bought television sets that night.

The few who were first to get television in those early days got used to having people sit outside their homes, peering through the window watching it. This happened to Ron at his own house as well, but he encouraged it as he wanted people to see how fantastic TV was.

He even put a speaker out to his front lawn, so people coming along and looking through the window at the TV could also hear the audio.

However, as spectacular as television was, depending on where one lived, it could take some dedication to watch it.

When the screen was “snowy”, getting some distance from it could make things better, perhaps similar to the technique people try today of squinting their eyes to see through pixelation.

“You had to be at least 20 feet away, because the picture was snowy. If you were some distance away you could see it,” he said.

Those first people getting television sets also relied heavily on Ron to inform them about how they worked, and if they didn’t work, why not.

He said television used to automatically switch off at midnight, and every night at that time he would get phone calls from new television owners asking him why their screen had gone blank.

Indeed, it was the dawn of a new age, and one that Ron was very happy to be involved in.

“That was the best thing in my life,” Ron said.

“It was a great thrill to be involved along those lines, to see those things happening.”

Today, at the age of 85, Ron has a black and white photograph which reminds him of the wonder of those years. In the picture, which was taken as a promotional image for his store, he is taking a phone call and leaning on a new television set.

Jensen part of intermediate school crew

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Jensen Sheppard has come a long way in a few short years.

About eight years ago the border collie-staffy cross was looking at a pretty grim future.

Little is known about his early years, but the Canterbury earthquakes saw him lost, lonely and desperate to find someone who would love him and provide him with a warm home.

Enter Kristina Sheppard. She was looking for a new canine friend and spotted Jensen in a dog shelter. He was hiding in the back of his kennel, trembling and very afraid of life. A little sweet talking from her and it was obvious the earthquake-shocked dog had found someone he was prepared to trust.

She headed home – without Jensen, but the thought of just how short his life might be changed her mind and Jensen found himself on his way to a new life in Ashburton.

It might have been love at first sight for the pair, but it would be a long road for Jensen towards any kind of normal social interaction.

“He was very very nervous, you still can’t raise your voice around him and that’s funny given where he spends most of his days,” she said.

Jensen’s new life involves being a canine companion to hundreds of noisy Ashburton Intermediate School children. And when he’s not in the school yard or at home, he’s an eagerly awaited visitor at Methven House, brightening the day for its elderly residents.

Sheppard had read about the Canine Companion group and was keen to work with Jensen to achieve his official companion status. The young collie proved a quick learner.

“He’s always keen to come to school. The

A collapsed recycling market for low grade soft plastics will force a rethink of recycling habits and will see more material tossed into landfill sites.

From August 1 only grade 1, 2 and 5 plastics will be accepted in kerbside recycling bins and the knock-on effect locally will see households forced to take a bit more care about what is and what is not put in their yellow bins, says Ashburton District Council waste minimisation manager Craig Goodwin.

Items accepted for recycling will be flattened cardboard, paper and egg cartons, aluminium and

He’s a calming influence with students and always seems to know when someone needs a few moments of dog love, Sheppard said.

“It’s not only beneficial for the children, it’s proven to be beneficial to the dog too.”

He is also a good confidence builder for children who may be afraid of dogs or who have had a bad dog experience, she said.

During breaks he is on a rota with students

who head for the playground with a bag of ‘behaviour’ treats and the inevitable doggy-do plastic bag. Student treats, however, have meant Jensen gained two kilos over the past year.

Those treats disappeared when the school shut down during the Covid pandemic. And as well as treats, it was clear he missed all the attention, Sheppard said.

Becoming part of the intermediate school crew did mean Jensen had to appear before the school board, but took that hurdle in his stride.

metal tins, aerosol cans, soft drink bottles, laundry and bathroom product bottles, milk bottles and yoghurt bottles.

Lids from cans or bottles need to be removed and placed in the red rubbish bin. Soft plastics are out.

The key with all of those items that will still be accepted is that they must all be well rinsed and clean, Goodwin said.

“Anything recyclable but is dirty becomes rubbish and we need the public to understand that people have to handle this stuff, they have to work with it, it’s like taking your shoes to the shoe repairman with dogs...t on them.”

International standards in terms of purity were now at 99.5

per cent. In addition the market had been further hit by Covid-19 with China closing its borders, effectively reducing the quantity of material it was accepting by 99 per cent.

New international requirements under the Basel Convention for the trade in plastic waste come into effect on January 1. These changes were about stopping environmentally bad materials ending up in poor countries, Goodwin said.

“In addition the recycling of low grade plastics has collapsed and what was a necessary resource is now a nuisance. We’re now in a position where, if we want to keep using the sorting facility in

Driver arrested One person was arrested following an early morning fleeing driver incident in Ashburton on Thursday.

A police spokesperson said at around 4.10am a vehicle was observed by police speeding along Andrew Street and was signalled to stop. The driver failed to stop and fled the scene, but the vehicle came to a halt less than a minute later, with the driver then fleeing on foot. The offender was located nearby and was taken into custody. At 5.50pm on Wednesday evening emergency services were called a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Cass Street and Dobson Street.

Christchurch we need to make these changes.”

The changes were coming at a time when residents appeared to be struggling to get their recycling habits back on track after the Covid-19 lockdown, he said.

“During lockdown everything went into landfill but now we’re recycling again and we need to get back to recycling correctly and while the threshold will shortly be much tougher for what can be recycled, it will be easier to understand what can be recycled.”

If wheelie bin contamination rates did not drop, the council would be taking a tough line and carrying out kerbside bin audits to identify offenders, he said.

Six people have been arrested following raids in Whakatane, Tauranga, Waikato and Auckland.

The simultaneous search warrants were executed on Thursday and were the second phase of an operation targeting organised crime which originated from the arrest of a man for significant methamphetamine offences in February. More than 70 Police staff, including the Asset Recovery Units from Tauranga, Waikato and Auckland were involved in the operation. In excess of $1.5 million in cash was seized along with six high-end vehicles and one highend motorcycle. Two firearms, a cannabis grow room, cannabis and methamphetamine were also found and seized from an address - NZME in Whakatane.

Body found Police searching for missing woman Bridget Simmonds have found a body on a Northland property. A 57-year-old-man has been arrested for an assault and is in custody. “We cannot rule out further charges being laid,” Detective Senior Sergeant John Clayton said. Earlier, police said they were excavating a site at a rural property in Northland where they believed she was buried.

Police converged on a 20ha block of land on Wilson Road, Parakao, 40km west of Whangārei on Wednesday after new information came to light which caused investigators to believe foul play was involved in the disappearance of the mother of two. About 20 staff were working at the scene yesterday.

Shout out for school support staff

By Sue Newman

Schools around the Ashburton District have marked the week in a variety of ways, and at Hampstead School each day’s morning tea break has been about chocolates, cake and and plenty of appreciative thankyous from teaching staff.

There are 14 support staff at the school, and while it’s a job they do from the heart, the new pay deal was great recognition of their work, Bridget Overend said.

While support staff loved their job working alongside students, finally achieving a pay rise made them feel the work they did was valued by more than just their school’s parents and teaching staff. It was a national recognition of the importance of their job, she said.

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Across New Zealand there are thousands of people working in schools alongside students who need additional support.

Those people are the school support staff who often work for little more than the minimum wage. The signing of a collective pay agreement late last year, however, meant a pay rise to at least the living wage and more money in the pocket for everyone in the sector.

It also brought new opportunities that included a clear career path and that meant when the annual School Support week came round this week, there was an extra cause for celebration.

A smart decision

By Heather Mackenzie

heather.m@theguardian.co.nz

Judith Smart believes it was the Ashburton Aviation Museum that enticed her husband Alasdair to live here.

When the couple moved to the area in 1996 Alasdair wasted no time in heading out to the museum and putting his name down as a volunteer, a move that paid off for both him and Judith, when they were passengers on the last-ever flight of the Southern DC-3 Trust’s Historic Airliner ZK AMY before it was decommissioned and put on display here.

“We used to see it buzzing around Ashburton all the time, so to get on it for the last flight was great,” Alasdair said.

The couple, and 25 other local aviation enthusiasts, took off from the Ashburton airport, flew to Christchurch, had lunch and then flew back again.

Alasdair said flying in the DC-3 afforded them a great view of the Canterbury Plains and the mountains because it flew at a lower altitude.

“We could see all the trees and things, it was a good flight,” he said.

Leaving the ground is something the now 80-year-old has had a bit of experience of.

Judith was quick to recant some of this aerial exploits during their 39 years of marriage.

“When he was 62 he went for a sky-dive out at the airport. He was 63 or 64 when he bungee jumped at Mt Hutt and one of the first things he did when we moved here was to go hot air ballooning over Methven.”

Judith said she was happy staying on the ground and watching from below.

When Judith and Alasdair speak their soft Southland accent gives it away that they are not originally from Canterbury, in fact they both grew up in Invercargill.

Alasdair had a variety of jobs in his younger days in Southland. He worked at the aluminium smelter for a couple of years and also the Ocean Beach freezing works before it closed down.

Judith left school and went to work for H&J Smiths where she learnt her trade of dressmaking.

“I was a dressmaker all my life. I don’t do so much of it now as I am a bit over it, but I still love my crafts, like knitting and stitch work, and getting out in the garden,” she said.

Volunteering in the Smart household is not just left to Alasdair, Judith had just joined the Friends of Ashburton Hospital group when lockdown happened.

A stop on hospital visits didn’t stop Judith from helping out. She put her sewing talents to good use and made blankets for newborns.

“I chopped up a woollen blanket and managed to get 16 little blankets out of it,” she said proudly.

The community-minded couple have also been driving special needs vans in Ashburton for a number of years.

Alasdair started it first, but when back problems forced him to have an operation, Judith sat her bus licence and off she went.

“It was a lot of work to get my bus licence, the driving part was okay, it at was all the theory that I found challenging.”

Alasdair really enjoyed taking the children

Alasdair and Judith Smart moved to Ashburton 24 years ago and have built up some impressive memories over that time.

PHOTO HEATHER MACKENZIE to school and the Mid Canterbury Technology Centre, and the rapport formed over the years, as he watched them grow from littlies to intermediate age.

“Some were non-verbal but I soon worked out what they we saying to me in their own way.

“They’re such great kids and I miss driving them, hopefully I will be able to get back to it one day.”

Always handy with his hands, Alasdair has a motorised push-bike in the shed. The inspiration to build a motorised bike came to him one rainy day in Christchurch.

“I saw this guy buzz past me. He was hunched over the handle bars, buzzing along, rain and coat-tails flying out behind him. And I thought I could build one of those.”

A chance discovery of the frame he needed came about on holiday in Australia 20 years ago. Frame purchased, he took it to bits and popped it in his suitcase for the flight home.

Customs didn’t seem to mind, he said.

Alasdair then set about attaching a twostroke motor to his recycled frame.

“I made a few changes to the frame and then took it out for a test ride. I was quite happy buzzing around the streets near our house.”

His street buzzing came to an end when it was revealed that he needed to register his modified bike. Never one to spend a dollar when a penny would do, Alasdair opted to put his little invention back in the shed and turn his attention to his model aeroplanes and trains instead.

Council briefs Museum collection The Covid-19 lockdown provided a work bonus for staff at the Ashburton Museum.

Without customers in the building, many hours were spent by staff on a collection inventory project. Just over 7000 items have been inventoried. During that time staff also worked on improving storage conditions for the museum’s photographic collection.

Methven water upgrade A $6.9 million membrane treatment plant will supply treated water to both Methven and the Methven-Spingfield scheme. This was put forward by the council as one of its projects vying for a share of the Crown Infrastructure Partners shovel-ready projects that would provide jobs and boost local economies. It did not make the first cut however. The only aspect of this project that has secured funding is the reservoir, so detailed design on this is under way. This work should be completed by the end of July.

Ashburton relief sewer line This project was also put forward as a shovel ready project and it also failed to make the cut but has been forwarded to the Provincial Growth Fund for consideration. Detailed design work on this pipeline is continuing. Physical work is estimated to cost about $9 million and will be considered by the council as part of the 2021-31 long-term plan.

Fitness equipment Foundation work has begun for fitness equipment that will be installed in the Ashburton Domain. The equipment is expected to be in place by the end of this month.

Covid emergency response During the Covid-19 lockdown, Civil Defence teams responded to 76 phone calls, delivered 10 food parcels and assisted with 70 meals-on-wheels deliveries. Council staff were also involved in delivering groceries and prescriptions and in taking residents in the council’s elderly housing units to appointments.

Dog control There are currently 6905 dogs registered in the Ashburton District, 92.2 per cent of the known dogs living in the area.

During the first four months of the year 47 complaints were made about barking dogs, with notification letters sent from the council.

Consultation Hearings on two issues that have attracted significant community comment were postponed during the Covid-19 lockdown. New dates for submission hearings on both a review of the district’s road speed limits and a development plan for the Ashburton Domain will be released shortly.

Drinking water standards To comply with the government’s new drinking water standards, bore-heads on eight of the Ashburton District’s drinking water supplies need to be raised. Seven of these have been completed and are awaiting sign-off. Work on the remaining bore-head at Rakaia will be carried out later in the year.

Rakaia salmon site toilets The deconstruction of the old toilet block at the Rakaia Salmon site has been completed and groundwork for the new toilet block is under way. All units that will make up the new toilet facilities will be on site and ready to assemble by the end of this month.

Sports centre up and firing Rather than carving customers out of its database, the Covid-19 lockdown had the opposite effect for Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre.

When the green light was given at Level 2 for people to return to the gyms and pools, the weeks of exercising as part of online classes at home has prompted a surge in gym and exercise class memberships, centre manager Steve Prescott said.

In the first days of Level 1, more than 39 new people signed up to the gym and these were people who had never previously set

foot in the centre, he said.

“They’ve been doing virtual stuff online and they’ve decided they need to start doing it in person.”

With the return to near normal life, it was great to see there had been a surge in numbers right across the complex, Prescott said.

Sport was now being played in the stadium again and bookings were looking solid, he said.

“It would appear people are just happy to be able to exercise.”

Those bookings, however, meant a piece of inflatable equipment bought for use by children could only be installed during school holidays, Prescott said.

OUR VIEW

Sue Newman

SENIOR REPORTER

Revered or reviled, who’s to judge?

J

ohn Grigg, if there are any skeletons in your family closet, now might be a good time to bring them out.

And that probably goes for Lord Ashburton, William Turton and a few other of our founding fathers. Be aware, if you’ve done anything that today could even faintly be described as racist, you might be about to take a tumble.

In the wake of the death of black American George Floyd at the hands of police, a witchhunt has been launched to check out the past of historical figures in any country that are revered today. The question being asked is whether the actions of those people should be revered or reviled.

Absolutely no question Floyd’s death was horrific. It’s prompted riots and world-wide calls for justice. It’s become the rallying call for a day of reckoning for what is clearly America’s lip service to racial equality.

But what it’s also done is spark a revolution against the recognition of any past leader who may have been involved in racial activity of any kind, even activity that may have been considered the norm of the time.

And it’s hitting us here at home. At the behest of a minor academic Akaroa’s iconic restaurant Bully Hayes is suddenly non-PC. Hayes has been identified as a slave trader and there’s growing demand for his name to be pulled off the restaurant’s hoardings.

That’s led to calls for an investigation into the pedigree of every colonial leader immortalised by a statue. If they’re found wanting, they could be toppled from the pedestals they’ve been on for decades.

If this radical action gains traction then we’ll effectively be rewriting history.

What happened in the past, happened in the past. It’s part of who we are today. And while some of those we now honour may be found to have been less than perfect by today’s standards, we need to remember there was clearly plenty of good in their past as well. That’s why they’re on pedestals today.

As a nation we need to get over ourselves, move on and get on with the job of making today’s actions right.

YOUR VIEW Sad news It was with such sadness that I read of the proposal to end the Guardian’s outstanding and historic status as a daily news publication.

I got my start in journalism at the Guardian a quarter of a century ago, and yes, a lot has changed in the news business since then.

In fact, a lot has changed in the world altogether. People are happy to be less informed, in-depth news investigations to keep elected leaders honest have given way to Twitter announcements and celebrity nonsense.

People used to only have the newspaper as their main source of detailed information.

These days everyone has the worldwide web in their pockets.

And 25 years ago it would have been hard to imagine that a misogynistic reality TV star could become the President of the United States, or that people think 5G towers can cause cancer – yet here we are.

I appreciate that the impact of a downturn in retail means less ability to pay for advertising in a small town. And

CONTACTS less advertising means a newspaper cannot pay its staff or its bills. I know it’s probably been tough for the Guardian for a wee while.

But that does not make the potential change any less sad for me, or for my dearest big brother Steve who started at the Guardian the week I was born, and is still there for now (in my eyes an absolute integral part of this organisation).

And it should be sad for you all, dear readers. The Bell family employed so many Ashburtonians over the years.

It has delivered so much to your town just by existing and continuing to exist throughout these past 10 years of tumultuous news industry change.

That is not necessarily something non-news folk will appreciate, but take it from me, this newspaper has held its own in its industry in New Zealand and you all should be proud to have been part of that story.

If you can support this newspaper, please do. And if you have to say goodbye to what you have known, please know that it will be a sad, sad day for journalism in New Zealand, and that your loss will also ripple through the industry.

PRESS COUNCIL

S

o, the Guardian is in the financial crapola and Bruce wrote what I would call an iceberg reflectorial.

That’s an editorial with a lot of reflection, mimicking an iceberg.

If you merely glanced through what Bruce wrote, it was like Father Christmas telling you, you were going to get a present, once you had your teeth pulled.

A forecast of dismal weather sold by a hot water bottle salesman.

However, if you read it with care, you will see the iceberg it is. Bruce even alluded to this when he wrote ‘On the surface, the proposal recommends…’

Bruce knows there is a hell of a lot more underneath all of this but he didn’t get to be the Rupert Murdoch of East Street by being dumb.

There is a crucial word in his writing that completely alters the design of the paper if it continues, and gives Bruce a get-out-of-jail free card should he decide to use it.

This one word will be used to justify any future decision Bruce makes.

This one word also removes

Peter Livingstone OUT OF SCHOOL

accountability from one person – the owner of the paper. Surely by now you have worked out what that word is? Come on, you must know because the word is about you.

If you are a reader of the paper, it means you. If you subscribe, have ever had your photo in the paper, placed an ad, used it to wipe dog crap off your shoe, or start an illegal fire on your lifestyle block, this word is about you.

Have you got it yet? The word is community. And Bruce is very clever to use it to describe the only viable proposal for the paper. He called it a ‘community publication’.

By doing this he shifts the ownership of the paper from him, to you. Think of all of the community assets you know about. A community hall, a community playground, a com-

munity event. No one person owns them. The word community denotes ownership by those in a geographical area or sharing a common way of life.

So, by asking you for feedback on the idea of it being a community paper, Bruce gains a mandate whether everyone or no one responds.

If thousands gather in protests at the i-SITE building, led by Tony Todd, demanding the paper stay as it is, he gets a mandate.

If no one gives Bruce half a sentence of feedback written on surplus lockdown toilet paper, he gets a mandate. It’s a smart move.

When questioned in the future why he chose to do what he did, Bruce can reply: “Because that’s what I got from the community”.

And I totally agree. Bruce is not hiding his decision-making, he is up-front and grabbing the coconut tree by its hairy nuts.

There is no point in continuing if that means the paper will end up as a sideline display in Te Papa 50 years from now.

Bruce wants to know – do you, the community of Ashburton, value the Guardian as a part of

your life?

The more we value something, the more we place it into our lives, and the more we understand what it meant to us, if it’s gone.

So, I have heard so many times from people older than me, moaning that children don’t write letters anymore. Right, golden oldies, start writing.

Flood the paper with the flowery cursive script you were beaten over the knuckles by a nun, forced to write in standard three.

Show off your letter writing skills to Matt the editor as he actually doesn’t know how to open a letter from the olden days ‘cos he never gets them anymore.

If you don’t give Bruce and the Guardian feedback, then you can’t whinge when it closes shop, because Bruce will simply say – the community didn’t care enough to tell me what they thought.

Tempting you into gi Creamy tofu

FROM JAPAN with Miya Komatsu

H

ave you tried tofu before?

Tofu is made from soybean curds.

It is a good source of protein, iron and calcium, and it has no cholesterol.

I’ve had many people say to me that it has “no taste”, it’s a “weird texture” and they “hate” it.

Like many others, my husband doesn’t like tofu. So, I tried many ways to cook tofu for him to eat.

I found out that very firm tofu is good for pan-frying, in soup and curry, etc. But if you try tofu for the first time, you may not like the rubbery texture and strong soy flavour.

I use the Morinaga brand for my recipes, because it has a nice silken texture and mild flavour.

Please try my recipes and maybe it will change your mind.

2 servings

Sauce 200g soft tofu 3T mayonnaise 1t chicken stock powder 1 egg 1t soy sauce 1t minced garlic Salt and pepper, for taste

Filling 200g chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces 1/2 onion, thinly sliced 80g mushrooms, sliced Salt and pepper, for taste 1/2 broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets and boiled Grated cheese, as much as you want!

Miya Komatsu is a Japanese-trained chef and nutritionist who has made Ashburton her home.

She has been living here for 14 years.

Keeping you on your toes How is it injured?

PHYSIO LAID BARE with SHAUN CLARK

P

lantar fasciitis is an overload injury at the attachment of the plantar fascia to the underside of the heel and is the third most common injury in runners and walkers.

It is an extremely common issue and one that is not often well understood, but if you can understand what is going on, and what the plantar fascia does, it may just help you get this frustrating heel pain better!

What is the plantar fascia?

The plantar fascia is a band of connective tissue that runs along the sole from the heel to the ball of the foot.

One of its main roles is to keep the bones and joints in position and enables us to push off from the ground.

Bruising or overstretching this ligament can cause heel pain and thickening of the tissue.

This is why it is now called plantar fasciopathy, rather than fasciitis, as it is more due to thickening and dysfunction than inflammation.

In many cases, plantar fasciitis is associated with a heel spur. Surprisingly, the spur itself does not cause pain and may often be found in the other foot without symptoms.

The plantar fascia is a really important structure in our bodies and works with every single step we take, so it is no wonder that these injuries can really hang around as they are very hard to rest.

As you can see in the diagram (below), the plantar fascia gets tight when your heel comes off the ground to push off on your big toe.

It works like a spring to help drive us forward and also raises the arch up to stabilise it so that we have a strong base to work off.

The plantar fascia is injured through repetitive strain to the tissue. The repetitive strain causes micro-tears to the fascia which in turn causes localised degeneration, mild inflammation and pain where the fascia attaches into the heel.

There are a number of causes that lead to the fascia becoming overloaded, from calf dysfunction or inadequate footwear to changes in loading, to hip strength or increased BMI. This overload produces excessive stress on the fascia leading to micro-tears in the fascia. This causes your body to go into protective mode, starting a reaction, which makes the fascia thicker, less flexible, more sensitive and overall more dysfunctional.

How can I get it better?

There are a number of things you can do to help your heel pain get better. The main things are addressing footwear and using orthotics if needed, addressing calf tension or weakness and loading the fascia through specific rehab exercises to encourage it to adapt and heal back to normal.

Your physio can help you address these things, but keep in mind that everyone is different, and it is important to find out what is contributing to YOUR injury.

Shaun Clark is principal physio and director at PhysioSteps Ashburton and Selwyn and has experience at the Commonwealth Games and World Rugby 7s. The team are experts in musculoskeletal pain and injury rehab.

An icy reality T

he latest wellness trend sweeping Europe and America has made its way to rural Mid Canterbury – although possibly by accident.

And I’m pleased to say it comes at a lovely price. Free. In fact, possibly even saving me a fortune.

It all coincides with a plunge in temperature and the icy reality that winter is finally here.

So one morning, when a cracker frost transformed the lush green pastures to crisp white and you could hear the crunch of ice under your ugg boots, I leapt out of bed as usual, flicked on the shower and headed to the kitchen for a coffee.

With a hot, strong brew in hand I headed back to the bathroom and although it didn’t seem its normal steamy self, I shrugged it off and dove in.

Then ... it hit me – ice. Ice so cold I opened my mouth to scream but nothing came out. Unfortunately, I was com-

pletely committed, standing starkers, directly underneath what felt like a blizzard in full swing.

Although I’m not a 100 per cent sure, my heart possibly stopped for a few seconds, I definitely stopped breathing momentarily.

Once I regained the ability to yell and scream and call for help, the farmer chuckled that the pipes had probably frozen and I should have checked the temperature before leaping in. Not. Very. Helpful.

The slightly blue tinge to my skin didn’t last long and a quick google of events later revealed there would be no negative long-term health effects from my chilly encounter – but rather, quite the opposite. This was good for me!

Ice therapy is a thing – athletes use it for recovery, it can apparently assist weight loss, reduce inflammation, rejuvenate the skin and cleanse the spirit.

This trend isn’t just confined to the corners of the globe either, it turns out that for around $25 a week an inner-city Auckland facility will let you freeze too.

This must be the easiest business to set up; we could even have a row of ice baths in a paddock taking in the beautiful rural landscape, while customers shiver their way to great health.

I’m not sure I can keep it up to be honest, but if I could, imagine the benefits, a booming business, a leaner figure by summer and most definitely a lighter power bill this winter!

A true winter wonderland T he Mackenzie Basin is a true winter wonderland.

Experience the breath-taking contrast between the grand, open tussock terrain with turquoise blue lakes, snow-capped mountains and New Zealand’s highest mountain Aoraki Mt Cook.

Fairlie, Tekapo and Twizel are all small and unique rural towns in the area.

If you are in the Tekapo area make sure you check out Tekapo Springs, one of New Zealand’s premier family attractions.

It’s here in the Mackenzie District that you will find both Fox Peak and Mount Dobson.

Fox Peak is one of the smaller ski clubs on the Chill Pass, but one of the largest when it comes to its terrain and suitability for all skiing levels.

It’s 35 minutes from Fairlie. Mount Dobson is an under-rated gem with a triple-seater chairlift and a T-bar accessing two massive valleys and, come powder days, a short traverse or walk will ensure you score fresh tracks all day long.

The Waitaki Valley is an untouched valley home to rivers and lakes with arguably some of the best scenery in New Zealand.

Take a drive through Omarama, Otematata, Duntroon or Kurow for food and a fuel stop or feel inspired to get in touch with nature.

Near Kurow, in the Waitaki Valley, is Awakino, a club-operated ski area that opens for group bookings during the weekends in winter.

The beauty of the ski area is its club charm, touring options and how remarkably unchanged it’s remained over the years.

Tips for things to do in Mackenzie – Walking around Lake Alexandrina.

While the Tekapō lakefront is usually packed with tourists for most of the year, nearby Lake Alexandrina is a quiet refuge for locals. A peaceful, still lake packed with trout, where motorboats are banned and old campervans have been parked for decades, Lake Alexandrina is one of the last authentically Kiwi holiday spots around Tekapō.

– The views from Kea Point at Mt Cook.

Pretty much no matter where you go around Aoraki Mt Cook National Park, you are guaranteed great views. Quite possibly the easiest place to access the Southern Alps, It leads you to a beautiful view of Mueller Lake and Mt Cook in the distance along with great views of the thundering hanging glaciers of Mt Sefton.

– In Tekapo there’s the Church of the Good Shepherd to visit, and right around the corner is the Sheepdog Memorial on

Mackenzie Street.

– There are tonnes of walks in the Mackenzie and a nice short Tekapo one with gorgeous views is the Cowans Hill Walkway (1-2 hour walk).

– Fairlie is home to the famous Fairlie Bakehouse, art galleries and even a heritage museum. You can even take a hands-on tour of an alpaca and llama farm, which the kids would love, or take a scenic helicopter flight.

– Kurow is located in the middle of the Waitaki Valley at the junction of two rivers. You can go on a wine tour to savour the local cool climate varieties.

It’s also surrounded by dams and lakes where you can enjoy cycling and walking, which often takes in part of the Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail. If you’re feeling more energetic, there’s a mini-mountain walk up Kurow Hill. It’s pretty steep but the visual pay-off is well worth the climb.

Western House is a heritage-listed B&B situated 2kms west of Kurow.

All of our rooms have their own bathroom/toilet and we also have a studio with a separate deck. We are family friendly and do not charge extra for children up to the age of 17. We have a small playground area, free range chickens and ducks and can provide a cot or extra mattress. Free Wi-Fi is available.

Boost your winter wellness NATURALLY YOU with Jane Logie

W

ith all of the Covid-19 virus fear in the media, it can make us all feel rather vulnerable to this virus and other viruses that may arise over the coming winter months.

So if you are feeling well and healthy it will help to make you feel better as a person. Feeling better on the inside helps you to shine on the outside.

With the dark winter months ahead of us, the best way to embrace those long cold months that many of us dread, is to get out and about, and soak up the sunshine when and where we can, and when it is available to us.

Sunshine provides us with the essential vitamin D, that is important to build immunity, and getting out into its rays helps us to feel well, builds up our levels of vitamin D, and look healthy as a consequence.

Sitting outside, or actually going outside into the sunlight for some exercise, is a great way to enjoy those sun rays.

Sun and exercise, whether that be a short or long walk, riding your bike around the block or several, hiking a hill, or taking a stroll somewhere in nature, can help boost your winter health and feelings of wellness.

Sunshine provides that much-needed boost in serotonin, your feel-good hormone, and helps reduce your levels of melatonin, your sleepy hormone.

Staying indoors for long periods of time can make you feel tired, sluggish, lethargic, low in mood and increase your feelings of anxiety and depression, due to low levels of serotonin.

Going outside on a near daily basis, especially when the sun is shining, can boost your levels of serotonin, which lifts your mood, helping you to feel good, boosts your energy levels and improves your overall mental health. It also improves your immune health and could even improve your quality of sleep.

Being cooped up inside during these cold winter days, the indoor air can become quite stale, so that crisp, fresh winter air sucked deep into your lungs can help re-oxygenate your body. Getting fresh oxygen into your lungs, brain and cells, lifts your mood, energy levels and state of wellness.

Physical fitness, be it gentle or vigorous walking, biking, hiking, skiing, cycling, running, golfing, are all ways to get out into nature or your local community to see the sights, hear the sounds and smell your surroundings. It really can have a powerful uplifting effect.

So step outside, put on plenty of layers and you may just feel magic again.

When the sun goes down and the coolness of the short winter day sets back in, you can then enjoy sliding back into that comfy couch once more. Your muscles and lungs will be ever grateful to you for giving them a whirl around the block.

So make sure you get out there this winter and enjoy what nature has to offer, and you will find that the cold winter days will become way more enjoyable than you anticipated.

Boosting your winter wellness will also leave you feeling that much fitter when spring arrives, and you may also find you are carrying a few less kilos than at the start of winter.

With the compliments of Jane Logie, a medicinal herbalist, clinical nutritionist and chef from Methven

Fillet steak with shitake mushroom sauce This is a great winter dish that can help to boost your iron levels, which, in turn, helps boost energy levels and immune health to get you out into the fresh air and exercising.

The sauce is topped with the immune-boosting shitake mushrooms that you can buy fresh from your local supermarket, giving your mushroom sauce a depth of flavour.

The addition of green vegetables helps boost your cells with energy and vitality.

2 fillet steaks 3-4T olive oil 1/4 t rock salt 1/4 t white pepper 1/4 t ground black pepper

both sides for 2-3 minutes, and then set aside on a plate for them to rest.

Using the steaks’ juices in the bottom of the pan, add in the butter and let sizzle, saute the sliced mushrooms for a few minutes.

Add in the red wine and let bubble away for a few minutes, then add the cream and let the sauce reduce and thicken slightly so it starts to coat the back of a spoon.

Finally season the sauce to your taste.

To serve: Place the steaks on a dinner plate and coat with the shitake mushroom sauce. Serve with either winter vegetables of your liking or a fresh crisp salad and potato mash.

Tip: Letfover shitake mushrooms can be added to any other dishes of your liking such as a risotto, a Chinese stir-fry or a tom yum with rice, for example.

N

Welcome winter

ow it’s officially winter, don’t abandon those lovely gardens that enjoyed your attention during lockdown. Keep reaping the benefits of your hard work through a few monthly tasks.

This month’s jobs include pruning of pip, stone fruit and roses, harvesting of winter vegetables and planting new strawberry plants, shrubs and trees, as well as general maintenance in the garden.

In the vege patch Continue planting seedlings of vegetables that you want to harvest in late winter/early spring. Seeds of broad beans, onions, peas, radish and spinach can still be sown. Prepare the soil thoroughly with the addition of fresh compost before planting.

June is the month for dividing old rhubarb plants and this should be done every three to four years. Plant new divisions 600mm apart. Rhubarb thrives in a ‘rich’ soil i.e. fresh compost enriched with blood and bone.

Winter flowering annuals Winter flowering annuals planted in autumn should be in full flower. They include alyssum, calendulas, aurelia, nemesias, pansies, poppies, primulas, snapdragons, stock and sweet peas. Dead-head finished flowers to encourage continuous blooming.

Pruning fruit trees June is the main month for pruning existing fruit trees and purchasing new ones. Garden centres have the most comprehensive selection of new season fruit trees

now. When pruning young pip and stone fruit trees, aim to create a strong structure that will support the weight of fruiting wood in future years. With older, mature fruit trees, remove inward growing branches, reduce the height of trees (for harvesting and maintenance) and remove any overgrown branches. Where there are signs of damage or disease, remove these branches.

have a lot of dead/diseased wood, it is advisable to remove the specimens and replace with new rose bushes.

With climbing roses, train the main leaders (growing up from ground) on a horizontal axis as this encourages the production of flowers. With all roses, a spray with copper compound after the completion of pruning helps minimise re-infection of fungal disease in spring.

Pruning berry fruit All these berry fruit (raspberries, boysenberries, loganberries, gooseberries) are very vigorous growers requiring the removal of all old growth and some of the same season’s canes where they are not required. Tie new canes to the existing wires or framework. Be careful to remove any diseased plant material.

Lawn care Great growth has now ceased, and light mowing should only be needed every 3-4 weeks. Check lawns regularly for wet spots which may require additional drainage, which is probably better carried out during dry summer months.

Planting strawberries It’s the last month for planting strawberries. Space new plants 120-200mm apart into mounded soil 200mm above the existing soil level. This ensures adequate drainage and most importantly, enhances the early warming of the soil in spring.

Rose pruning commences Apart from the odd late flowering rose e.g. iceberg, most roses have now shed their leaves and can be pruned. Remove all dead or diseased wood, remember most rose bushes, even though quite healthy, will have some dead wood.

Prune to outward facing buds and remove any wood that is thinner than pencil thickness. If some plants

Ornamental trees and shrubs Garden centres have the best range of plants in June and July so an excellent time to buy! Always be fussy when selecting new plants. Ensure they are new, healthy, and not root-bound, and are the right plant for the position you are going to plant them in. Try to avoid overcrowding in your garden as trees and shrubs can often grow a lot bigger than what is written on the label.

Container gardens Especially useful over the winter months for growing salad vegetables and herbs close to the kitchen. Mass displays of winter annuals in containers can brighten up winter decks and balconies. Always plant into fresh container mix that has sufficient nutrients for healthy, vigorous growth.

Carrot rot

Cynthia Young is this month’s winner with the following question:

Our vege garden has been similar to our weather this year. All was rather good except for one row of carrots which were a good size, but half the row was coated in a dark grey/black sooty covering which had penetrated the skin. Do I replace the soil or sterilise the soil?

P

roducing good quality carrots in the home garden is not an easy proposition.

From the photo you supplied, it looks like your carrots have been infected by bacterial soft rot.

This is a common problem especially when carrots are grown in heavy clay soils

or if the soil becomes very wet during the growing season.

Ohakune, the home of NZ carrot growing, has a very free-draining volcanic soil thanks to the surrounding volcanic mountains, so the carrots are always superb.

In the home garden, we would not recommend sterilising the soil. It is not a simple process and the chemicals used are quite toxic and they will kill all the beneficial organisms in the soil along with it.

Instead, lighten your soil with the addition of Daltons 7in1 Compost, improve the existing drainage and regularly rotate the vege crops in your garden.

JACK OF ALL TRADES Mid Canterbury’s Kevin Opele was named Outstanding Senior Official of the Year at the Mid Canterbury Sports Awards this week.

PHOTO ADAM BURNS 110620-AB-2755

By Adam Burns

adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

If versatile had a name within Mid Canterbury sporting circles, it would be Kevin Opele.

A highly adaptable operator, the 42-year-old has been a sporting official for 22 years and has come to juggle several codes at the highest level in the district.

In all likelihood, he is probably clutching a whistle more often than not.

The height of these chameleon-like qualities reached remarkable levels last year when Opele was in charge of four pivotal sporting occasions. He officiated the Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Cup rugby final, the Watters Cup final, Mid Canterbury Netball’s premier one final and the Aoraki Rugby League grand final.

It made him a clear-cut contender at the Mid Canterbury Sports Awards this week, and he was named Outstanding Senior Official of the Year.

For a role that can be a thankless proposition, acknowledgement for this official is more than warranted, and Opele was thrilled with the accolade.

“Like any award, it’s a pat on the back for all the hard yards that you chuck in yourself,” he said.

“I was pretty stoked with it.”

His delight was bolstered by some of the challenges which come with being a proficient referee or umpire.

The experienced adjudicator said it can be an isolating job compared to being among a team.

“She’s pretty lonely being an official in sports,” he said. “It’s not like you meet up with team-mates and go through training sessions.”

Although one perk which comes with the territory includes watching “hours and hours” of sport to hone the technical insight within each code.

He said it was not so much knowing the rules but when and

how you applied them.

“I learned a lot from going out and training with teams.

“Their interpretation and my interpretation can be quite different, but if you work with teams to get a better outcome then the game is obviously a helluva lot better.”

Given the subjective nature of some sports’ laws, particularly rugby, dialogue with both coaches and players was key.

Although officiating three winter codes is no small feat, netball’s mid-week games helped Opele co-ordinate his respective commitments.

His winter schedule meant rest days on Mondays and Fridays.

Like your average youngster, Opele played sport at high school, including football and hockey, before taking up rugby at the age of 16.

“Touch (rugby) was probably the most enjoyable game I played,” he said.

“And then later, when I pointed out what I thought was poor officiating, they told me to have a go.

That’s basically how I started officiating.”

Opele officiated touch rugby for more than a decade, which led him all the way to the very top level.

“I went into internationals.

“That was pretty much the grounding for me in officiating was doing touch.”

The first touch international that he was in charge of between New Zealand and Australia remains a career highlight.

The speed of the sport also attuned his reactions which had benefited his judgement across other codes, he said.

As a referee, he believes he has a casual approach to officiating, preferring sporting fixtures to be more free-flowing.

“One year with Hampstead and Southern I did it to the letter of the law, and it was the worst

40 minutes you’d ever seen in a game as players couldn’t adapt to my expectations,” he said.

“I decided I was going to let it play out like it should and in the second half there was only two penalties in the half.

“When I blew the whistle at the end everyone was just on their hands and knees.”

Despite boasting a rich resume, there are still further milestones within Opele’s sights.

He is hoping to gain a New Zealand badge in netball, which may or may not be possible this year with no representative tournaments.

“That’s the last one I need to tick off,” he said.

For the upcoming season, he is scaling back his refereeing duties by taking a break from rugby.

“I’ve said I’ll help if they’re in dire need.

“But yeah I’m giving up one of the sports just to give some time to myself.”

Sporting excellence rewarded

By Matt Markham

matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

A world champion, an unbeaten season on the football field and a rising tennis star were just some of the highlights from winners at this year’s Mid Canterbury Sports Awards.

Success, achievements and excellence filled the nomination list for the 2020 edition of the awards, which were shifted to online due to Covid-19 restrictions, but in conjunction with Sport Canterbury the recognition deserved by those nominated was still given.

The awards were announced live on social media during the week and it was rising multisport star Matthew Clough who took home the major title of the awards – the Mid Canterbury Senior Sportsperson.

Clough’s victory in the World Under 20 Cross Tri Championship was the highlight of his list of achievements over the past 12 months, but a broken leg stopped the former Ashburton College student from compiling an even more impressive resume.

The return from injury was almost as remarkable, with a huge effort to finish third in the 2-Day Coast to Coast.

Rising tennis star DiegoQuispe-Kim took out the title in the extremely competitive Outstanding Junior Sportsperson of the Year Award. Ranked No.1 in New Zealand for his age, he also represented New Zealand at the World Junior Teams Event in Malaysia.

Sharp shooter Shania Harrison-Lee and basketball star Sophie Adams were joint runners-up in the Junior Sportsperson category.

The Mid Canterbury United senior football side were deserved winners of the Outstanding Sports Team of the Year in the senior category. Unbeaten in competition play over the past two years, they have risen to the

CCL back in Ashburton

By Adam Burns

adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s premier football team will be hoping home advantage pays dividends today.

Headlining a bumper day of football at the Ashburton Domain, Mid Canterbury United will be looking to revive their fortunes when they host Burwood in the second round of Mainland’s Canterbury Championship League.

Things went off script for the side during their opening competition clash against FC Twenty11 in Christchurch.

Following a competitive start

to the game, proceedings took a turn for the worse for the Mid Cantabrians after the side went down to 10 men – and subsequently nine for a period.

United eventually succumbed to a 4-1 defeat and will be eager to haul themselves off the canvas.

Burwood, meanwhile, are coming off a 3-2 win at Waimak in their first championship hitout.

Both reserves sides will also be eager to hit back, none more than Mid Canterbury who were routed 8-0 by FC Twenty11.

Burwood went down 4-1 to Waimak in their season opener.

After a crushing victory at home in the sleet last weekend, Methven’s division 2 outfit is on the road today where the side takes on Cashmere Tech in Woolston.

Also travelling north is United’s fourth division team who have a tough assignment against Hornby’s Honeybadgers – fresh off a 5-0 thumping over the Nomads’ blue side.

A big focus for Mid Canterbury will undoubtedly be closing out during the final quarter after they let Papanui-Redwood off the hook at home last week with a 3-all draw.

In division 6, Methven is back home where they host Halswell United at the Domain.

The side was unlucky not to walk away with a point in Akaroa last weekend after a late goal handed them a 1-0 defeat against Banks Peninsula.

Halswell’s Globe Trotters tasted victory in their opening round clash when they overcame High School Old Boys 2-1 on their home ground.

Relief for American Magic as government provides exemption Team New Zealand rivals American Magic have breathed a sigh of relief after finally receiving a border exemption to begin their America’s Cup campaign on New Zealand waters.

The Government announced yesterday that it is granting border exemptions to two of the syndicates competing in the 36th America’s Cup, paving the way for American Magic and INEOS Team UK to proceed with planning to move to New Zealand in the coming months.

The Government is continuing to work with the challenger of record Luna Rossa on their applica-

tions which were seeking a later entry date into the country.

American Magic skipper Terry Hutchinson said there was “a big sense of relief” after what has been a sometimes frustrating few weeks for the US challengers, but ultimately was thankful to the New Zealand Government for their efforts.

“We’re incredibly respectful of the process that the New Zealand government’s taken to get us to this point,” Hutchinson said.

“We’re grateful for the exemptions and really in particular need to thank the Prime Minister [Jacinda Ardern] for her efforts.”

He also thanked the other “soldiers behind the scenes” in the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) who worked hard on making the America’s Cup happen despite the challenges presented by the pandemic.

“As hard as it is because we’re antsy with our timing, they worked us through it and helped us through this process. And I can tell you 100 per cent that we’re looking forward to integrating into the Auckland community and being the safest and nicest neighbours that you can possibly find.”

American Magic and INEOS UK will bring more than 400 workers and family members to New Zealand between them, with the syndicates expected to be in New Zealand for up to ten months.

The teams, and their families, will go into managed isolation when they arrive. This includes Kiwi members of their team as well.

The teams themselves will be paying for the cost of accommodation, flights, food during their managed isolation, while the Government will provide services such as health compliance.

Despite being a bit behind

schedule, Hutchinson said he’s making no excuses and is excited to get sailing in Auckland in July.

“How it’s all panned out, we’re going to be in a good spot that we’ll be sailing in July.

“As it is always with the America’s Cup, is anything every perfect?

“No. But if we meet that milestone then at the end of the competition in March of next year, we’ll only have the mirror to congratulate or to blame.”

Auckland Mayor Phil Goff said that the exemption is “a positive step that will provide a real boost to Auckland’s economic recovery”.

■■FOOTBALL

Show me the money I

t’s a very, very odd world we live in right now.

To be fair, it actually always has been, but this year does seem to have thrown up a few extra curve balls, in every sphere of our lives.

Sport is no exception; every major sport in every nation has been hit, and hit hard, by this year’s doozy of an issue, the dreaded Rona.

And, apart from the obvious health dangers, every sport has been hit where it really hurts, in the pocket.

Stories abound of codes struggling for survival.

The NRL, under the guidance of Aussie super-troubleshooter Peter V’Landys, challenged the whole thing head-on, and despite having to conquer a few lumpy mountains, they were first to put out a product – and that product, with a couple of ruletweaks chucked in – was very, very good!

Like the quick-six penalty from the ‘ruck’ (that’s a ruck??), like the canned crowd noise, like the obvious closer-in camera work, like the paid-for cut-out cardboard spectators (except for Dickhead-of-the-Year Matty Johns’ Hitler stunt).

Not sure if it’s the Warriors’ year though.

Anyway, all that has got rugby league going again, with a bo-

Steve Devereux MY SHOUT

nus of a very welcome broadcasting deal to sweeten the pot.

So they’re back in business.

Rugby admins will be breathing a massive sigh of relief too, as Super Rugby Aotearoa kicks off this weekend, with the promise of excellent crowds, and excellent rugby to match.

The sport of the super-rich playboys, the America’s Cup yachting, also looks like being back on the water, but you might imagine their money worries aren’t quite in the same league as other sports.

Then there’s boxing.

The drums are beating loudly for a Tyson-Wilder scrap, to be fought out here in New Zealand.

Fantastic!

And what a jolt for the economy that would be!

But – Dean Lonergan and his mates are looking directly at the $400 million set aside by Jacinda’s mob for tourism, to get the thing going and get the fighters in the ring, maybe at Eden Park (why not Forsyth Barr?).

I don’t get it, this is a monumental money-maker, these

guys stand to make millions.

How many millions, I hear you ask?

Well, next year, if Fury and Joshua get it on, they will pick up around $60m each.

Then there’s a rematch, expected to net them double that figure. Each.

Fury made at least $50 million for his recent fights against Wilder; Joshua picked up around $100 million when he fought Ruiz.

So, there’s a gigantic surfeit of money just sloshing around this sport at the top level – why exactly should you and I, the taxpayer, fork out for them to come here?

Anti-boxing I am not.

Sugar Ray Robinson. Osca De La Hoya. Roberto Duran and Manny Pacquiao (they come as a set, even though they never fought; imagine it though). Foreman, Frazier, Tyson. The other Sugar Ray. And the best of them all: Cassius Clay (or Muhammad Ali, as some may know him). The series on the telly in The Dark Times was just outstanding.

These gentlemen, all giants of the ring, have produced a plethora of enormous sporting occasions in the last century or so, in a sport that, at its best, is huge for personal discipline, co-ordination, cardiovascular health,

confidence and stress relief etc etc – oh, and mass excitement for the paying customers.

Of course, it bashes the brain around in its little protective shell, sometimes fatally, but that’s a debate for another day.

Money is the issue here.

I saw a comment on social media this week, someone complaining that Dan Carter could walk into a job at the Blues and get paid the outrageously high sum of $1800 a week, just like that.

If they did their sums, they would discover that it would take DC about 70 years to amass the same income as one bout for these fellas.

I know the government has an endless supply of said money, because it just keeps on coming.

If there isn’t enough, they just appear to borrow some more, putting us all into yet another billion dollar debt (the Americans do it by the trillion).

That does raise another question; who exactly do we borrow all that money off? Is it Anthony Joshua?

But I digress, as happens on occasion.

The bottom line is, when these behemoths clamber into the Eden Park ring next year, whose millions are they going to take home?

I’d rather they weren’t mine.

Boost for cup chances

New Zealand’s hopes of co-hosting the 2023 women’s football World Cup with Australia have received a boost with governing body FIFA rating it the best of the bids against Japan and Colombia.

The campaign scored 4.1 points from a maximum five and was deemed the “most commercially favourable” in the evaluation of plans for the 32-team tournament.

Japan scored 3.9 and Colombia 2.8.

A winner will be selected on June 25 – each of the 37-member panel’s votes will be made public.

Earlier this week Brazil withdrew its bid to host because it couldn’t offer FIFA the financial assurances it needs due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

New Zealand Football last year confirmed a joint bid with Australia to host the 2023 World Cup. NZF CEO Andrew Pragnell said New Zealand would stage approximately 45 per cent of the matches if the event comes down under. This means that New Zealand would host four groups (out of eight) as well as a quarter final and a semi-final.

There will be five host cities (Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin) and a stand alone opening game would also take place in this country, most likely at Eden Park.

If successful, it would be the first major FIFA World Cup event hosted in New Zealand, after hosting three age group World Cups.

■■RUGBY

Crusaders favoured to claim another title Super Rugby Aotearoa is about to kick off for sports starved fans in New Zealand, so can anyone stop the Crusaders from marching to another title?

The competition starts tonight, with the Highlanders hosting the Chiefs in Dunedin, before the Blues take on the Hurricanes in Auckland on Sunday afternoon.

The five New Zealand sides will play each other twice over ten weeks, with the team who finishes at the top of the standing’s crowned champions.

Crowds will be there too, with 20,000 people expected at Dunedin’s stadium tonight, while more than 34,000 tickets have already been sold for Eden Park the following day.

While the competition is new one thing remains the same – the Crusaders being favourites with the bookies and most pundits.

Even ardent Hurricanes supporters from the Waikanae under 10s are in agreement, the defending champion Crusaders are the team to beat, as hard as that might be to admit.

“The Crusaders theoretically are going to win, but I don’t want them to win, I want the Hurricanes to win. Most of us think the Crusaders will win.”

The bookies agree with the Waikanae youngsters – the Crusaders

are paying just $2 to take out the tournament.

Due to the draw however the favourites won’t be in action during the first round.

Assistant coach Jason Ryan concedes not playing on opening weekend is somewhat anti-climactic, but it gives them a look at the other teams and a chance to play a no-holds-barred game between themselves.

“Training yesterday was reasonably tasty and we’ve got a bit of an internal hitout coming up which will no doubt be pretty ‘friendly’ as well haha, the boys are definitely keen to start.

“But (the bye) gives us a good chance to have a look at the other teams and the first games and get a feel for it. How the referees interpret and enforce the rules etc.”

While the Crusaders are at short odds the Highlanders are rank outsiders, paying more than $30 to win the competition.

However, the southerners have picked up a couple of big name recruits, including former All Black wing Nehe Milner-Skudder, and coach Aaron Mauger is confident they can defy the doubters.

“We know that we can perform better as a team and certainly my job to lead that so time will tell mate,” he said.

“I don’t want to talk it up too

much because we have to go out and do it but I feel we’re on the right track, and now it’s up to us to get out there and hit the ground running against the Chiefs.”

The Chiefs are seen by many as the likely pretenders to the Crusaders throne, and Chiefs fullback Damian McKenzie says the side’s confidence matches the external expectations.

“It’s been an interesting year, and it would be pretty cool to look back and say, that Covid year, who won that and hopefully say the Chiefs won it.

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t confident we could win the whole thing, we’ve got a great squad, coach and plenty of depth. It’s not going to be easy though, everyone’s going to be fighting each week.”

McKenzie missed last year’s World Cup due to injury and only played a handful of games before the Super Rugby season was shut down. He’s champing at the bit and has his eyes on reclaiming his place in the All Blacks.

“New Zealand derby games every week in a New Zealand comp and it’s basically an All Black trial every weekend.

“There’s no better way to test yourself than to test yourself against the best players in the country and this new competition.

Blues fullback Beauden Barrett “No doubt there will be more focus on individual matchups with All Black honours possibly on the line, but I’ve just got to play well for the Chiefs and the rest will sort itself out.”

New Zealand derbies are notoriously brutal, and Chiefs coach Warren Gatland says attrition will play a big role in deciding who wins the tournament.

“We recognise how hard the NZ derbies are and the players know how tough it is. Players are going to hold nothing back. They see it as bragging rights for 12 months so every game is almost like a trial for higher honours.

“Whoever wins this, everyone’s going to remember it.”

Gatland said leaving out All Blacks captain Sam Cane, who has a stiff back, and putting star firstfive Aaron Cruden on the bench, is part of his rotation plan, with player welfare crucial in the five team competition.

The Chiefs will be without five injured tight forwards, including All Blacks Nathan Harris, Angus Ta’avao and Atu Moli.

However, All Black forwards loosie Luke Jacobson and prop Nepo Laulala are back from injury and both will start.

The Blues and Hurricanes are paying $5 and $7 to win the tournament respectively, and many Blues fans will be thinking this is their year after the signing’s of All Blacks first-fives Beauden Barrett and Dan Carter.

The Hurricanes have some star power but lack depth and injuries to some key players could derail their chances. Jordie Barrett is already out of the first round and could miss as much as three weeks of action. The tight five is also a little light, and players like All Blacks hooker Dane Coles will need to stay healthy and shoulder plenty of the load.

However they still have the likes of Ardie Savea, TJ Perenara, Ngani Laumape and Vince Aso, so if their forwards can get parity, they will be a threat.

MAJOR CHANGE PROPOSED FOR ASHBURTON GUARDIAN Recently, I shared with my staff a proposal to restructure the Ashburton Guardian.

It is now important I share the proposal with you, our valued and loyal readers and advertisers.

You are key stakeholders in the newspaper and have been for more than 140 years.

The proposal is to reshape the Ashburton Guardian as a community publication and publish it three days a week, probably on a Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

One of the main reasons for the proposal is to maintain the Guardian’s viability. The media, in general, including newspapers, have been under severe pressure over the last few years and the Guardian, like many before it, is at a crossroads. Its format needs to be replenished to face the future with confidence.

The Ashburton Guardian is one of the last remaining independent and privately owned daily newspapers in New Zealand. It has resisted takeover and mergers. The newspaper has been an integral part of the Mid Canterbury community since 1879. That’s a proud record.

Five generations of the Bell family have served the paper since 1900. We want to see it continue.

The proposal, which I have shared with my staff and you, the reader, is to ensure its future.

Should the newspaper not find a sustainable operational model, it will likely cease publishing and the business will close. I’m sure none of us want that to happen.

Instead I want the newspaper to continue its role as the backbone of local journalism, the voice of our people, recording community achievements and events, engaging with and

bringing Mid Canterbury people together, facilitating and being a pillar of the democratic process.

We can only do that within a model that is robust and viable.

On the surface, the proposal recommends reducing the number of weekly issues. That is true.

But it also has many advantages and exciting opportunities. Pages will increase, enabling our editorial staff to focus further on community stories, profiles and opinion pieces and providing more space and scope for local advertisers.

With reduced national and international coverage, the Guardian can showcase Mid Canterbury, be the pre-eminent provider of your local news and advertising and an indispensable part of your life.

I am seeking feedback to the proposal from staff and would value ideas and suggestions from you. I will communicate again shortly about the direction the Guardian is taking and, by then, be able to present to you a new subscription package which will also address changes in payment for advanced subscribers.

I am looking at the new community Guardian as a wonderful challenge and a huge opportunity to continue serving the Mid Canterbury people.

Yours sincerely, Bruce Bell Owner Ashburton Guardian.

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Though you have much to teach, you also possess an innate ability that came via your birthright and is nontransferable. You will now appreciate the value of this gift.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You have a role in the happiness of others, and you’ll definitely see smiles to today. Of course, the contentment you have the most power over is your own.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’re more aligned than ever. Your intention for these minutes reflects your goals for the next five years, and you’ll measure your every action against these aims.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): People want what they want, not what others think they should want.

You’re tuned in, looking for clues about what’s really going on. Don’t be afraid to ask direct questions.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You try to consume nutritious foods, and it goes the same way with media. Seek that which feeds your mind and emotional self. Exposing yourself to the wrong things makes you feel icky.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Anticipate your diversions and schedule them. If you can check your voicemail, email and social channels but once or twice a day, then the rest of your day will be much more productive.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’ll honour the tradition, follow the recipe, conform to the expectation – and then flip it on its ear. It’s that flourish and twist that captivates your crowd and keeps them coming back.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The items you choose to adorn your living space are meant to be looked at – except the ones that aren’t.

You’ll think better as you weed out the visual distractions keeping you from your work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You focus on solutions, not problems. You accept responsibility for the success of a project and deal with challenges as they come. However small an achievement may be, it’s something to build on.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): There’s a takeaway from every interaction. If your residual feeling is consistently great around someone, make an effort to spend more time together. And if you consistently feel lowered by someone, heed the sign.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): There are people you know who have been in powerful positions and have gotten used to a certain level of respect, which they don’t always get anymore. But you remember, honour and pay what’s due.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The culmination of your experience has brought you here, but this isn’t the pinnacle. You’ll keep learning and forming the attitudes that help you move forward.
