District to receive Afghan families

From June next year, Ashburton will become a new home for up to 30 refugee families from Afghanistan.

Earlier this year Ashburton won a place as a refugee settlement town and yesterday the home country of the district’s new residents was released.

In announcing the nationalities of the refugees, mayor Neil Brown said the district was embarking on a journey that would enrich and enhance life not just for the new residents but for everyone in the district.

“We are well placed to welcome and help these newcomers and this is a sig-

nificant day in our refugee settlement story. The council is honoured to be doing what it can to improve the lives of people who so desperately need our compassion and support,” he said.

Across Afghanistan there are 270,000 people displaced because of conflict and another 230,000 who have been displaced because of severe drought.

Next year about 100 of those will find new homes in Ashburton.

Safer Ashburton has won the contract to provide settlement services to our refugees. A team of five social workers will be employed to work with the families to ensure their transition from the Mangere resettlement centre to life in

Ashburton is as smooth as possible.

Safer Ashburton manager Kevin Clifford said that the new team would be in place well ahead of the first families arriving and they would ensure their housing, education, health and social and cultural needs were met.

“We’re sure they will receive a warm and supportive welcome from our community,” he said.

A team of volunteers will also be engaged to work alongside the families as they settle into their new lives.

Cautious support for school reforms

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Changes to the school system announced this week by education minister Chris Hipkins have been cautiously welcomed by Ashburton District school principals.

Change had to happen, Ashburton College principal Ross Preece said, and while the devil would always be in the detail, the reform of Tomorrow’s Schools was taking a few steps in the right direction.

A decision to have the Ministry of Education decide school zones was a positive move, Preece said.

“It gives a neutral referee and they have the big picture, what’s best for a region. From a school’s point of view, funding is dictated by roll so naturally you want your roll to increase.”

An area that still needed to be clarified was the degree to which the ministry would be taking over property management for schools.

While that would work with big ticket projects, Preece said it would be a disaster if it went back to the days of a school having to ask the ministry before it could buy a battery or fix a hand dryer in the toilet block.

Preece is raising some red flags over the setting of minimum eli-

gibility standards for school principals, saying it was impossible to quantify what made a good principal. If that standard was set at a high level, there would be a number of very good principals who might not meet that standard, he said.

The requirement for a training programme for board members was one Preece welcomed.

“This is a must and it needs to happen before they set foot around the board table,” he said.

In theory the proposal to get high performing principals to relocate to poorly performing schools had merit, but the fishhooks in that were that the location was often not one they wanted and if the poorly performing school’s roll was low, their salary would drop.

Hampstead School principal Peter Melrose is taking a careful look at the details before throwing his support behind them.

In terms of the change in responsilbities for building management and maintenance and centralised capital works, that was one he’d be watching closely, Melrose said.

“For us, we’ve enjoyed being in charge of our property and the management of buiidng projects

and our ongoing maintenance. It’s worked for us,” he said.

The example of Christchurch schools, post Canterbury earthquakes, who lost control of funds for property work and found they were at the beck and call of the Ministry of Education, did set off a few alarm bells, he said.

Most schools would be adopting a “wait and see” reaction to the changes, Melrose said.

The reform is designed to put more frontline support closer to schools to give every child the best chance to succeed. They include more frontline support for schools through a new education agency, more support for principals and school boards, a new independent disputes panels for parents and students, management of school property simplified and/or transferred to the ministry, enrolment zones to be managed locally but not by each school.

In announcing the changes, education minister Hipkins said they were not about more centralised decision-making or smothering schools that already performed well, rather it was about making pragmatic and workable improvements that would gain broad support.

Police warn about bank scam Ashburton Police are warning people to be on the lookout for scammers who are purporting to be bank employees and telling people that their account has been hacked.

Apparently after informing victims that their account has been hacked, the scammers then instruct the victims on what needs to be done.

While the victims are performing these instructions, the scammers manage to gain ac-

cess into the victim’s account and proceed to take money from it.

A Police spokesperson said they have received reports of people falling for such scams in Ashburton and Methven.

Police urge anyone who receives suspicious contact from people claiming to be from banks or any organisations to stay vigilant, and report it on 105.

Information on other scams

that are currently operating can be found on the Consumer Protection NZ website: www.consumerprotection.govt.nz/general-help/scamwatch Consumer Protection NZ, along with Netsafe, also provides helpful advice and information about keeping safe online.

Anyone who believes they are a victim of a scam, in person, over the phone or online, should immediately report to their bank, and to Police.

His Royal Highness Prince Charles will visit Lincoln University on November 22, to deliver an address on the state of the environment.

Lincoln College best place to catch Prince Charles, Camilla If you’re hoping to catch a glimpse of the Prince of Wales next week, Lincoln University will be the place to be.

His Royal Highness Prince Charles will visit Lincoln University on November 22, to deliver an address on the state of the environment.

The speaking engagement comes during a seven-day visit to New Zealand by the Prince and the Duchess of Cornwall.

Lincoln University Acting Vice-Chancellor Professor Bruce McKenzie says it is a great privilege to host the Prince for such a significant address.

“Environmental sustainability is a huge part of who we are, so we are delighted to be able to welcome His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, to speak on campus about this important issue.

“Sustainability is taught across the university’s academic pro-

grammes and is a major research focus in most departments. As an environmentalist, the Prince has raised the profile of organic farming and climate change over the years, so we are sure that his address will be very much in line with our thinking here at Lincoln.”

A group of postgraduates will present their research to the Prince during his time on campus and he also plans to meet with students from Lincoln’s School of Landscape Architecture to hear about their environmentally-focused projects.

Lincoln University first hosted a member of the Royal Family in 1973, when the Duke of Edinburgh visited campus.

The Duke returned a few years later when he accompanied Her Majesty The Queen on a visit to the Lincoln campus during her 1977 New Zealand tour.

Homicide victim farewelled

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

Homicide victim Peter Hemi was laid to rest yesterday following a funeral held at the Hakatere Marae.

Hemi passed away late on Friday evening after being critically injured at a McDonald Street address. A woman has since been charged with his murder.

Friends and family made their way to the marae throughout the morning yesterday to attend the tangi.

The funeral was set to begin at 11am, followed by interment at the Ashburton Cemetery.

There was a police presence at the marae including four police cars, with Detective Senior Sergeant Richard Quested, who is leading the homicide investigation, attending.

Hemi is survived by his three children Ratu, Libby and Darrin.

A death notice published earlier this week said he was the very much loved son of TeAtatu, and dearly loved brother of Aaron, a cherished grandson of Evan and the late Jane, and loved brother-in-law of Shianne, and Cecelia, the dearly loved moko of Les and Janet, and extended whanau.

He will also be sadly missed by his aunties, uncles, cousins, and friends.

A 19-year old woman has appeared in court charged with Hemi’s murder.

She was granted interim name suppression at her appearance on Tuesday and was remanded

Peter Hemi in custody to appear in the High Court in Christchurch on December 6.

The woman appeared in the dock dressed in a black T-shirt holding her jersey in her hand.

Friends mouthed words to her as she stood silently and said “I love you sis”.

The judge told the woman’s duty lawyer he was granting interim name suppression by a thin margin – its continuation will be discussed at her next appearance.

“Condolences to the family of Peter Hemi. It is an absolute tragedy,” Ashburton Sub-Area Supervisor Senior Sergeant Leigh Jenkins said.

Jenkins said a police team from Christchurch and Timaru had been assisting in the inquiry.

“It was a good result and such a quick turnaround.”

Police reassured the public that

PHOTO JAIME PITT-MACKAY 131119-JPM-0010 there was no threat to general safety and that this homicide was not linked to another homicide on McDonald Street three years ago or the recent homicide in Rakaia.

Quested is leading both investigations and stressed on Tuesday that there is no link between the

cases.

“They are not linked at all, the Rakaia homicide and this recent one at McDonald Street are not related in any way and it is not linked with the other homicide that occurred on McDonald Street,” he said.

Quested said through their in-

quiries they had determined there was nobody who was linked to the earlier homicide associated with this case.

“So as far as the public is concerned Police to not think there is any risk to the community and we have an offender before the courts in both of these cases.”

Ashburton to receive 30 Afghan families From P1 Before a family leaves the resettlement centre they will have housing arranged in Ashburton.

This is most likely to come from the private sector rather be than government housing.

“Each family will come with a personal plan with their hopes, dreams and goals and we’ll be

supporting them to become self-sufficient, ideally within 12 months,” Clifford said.

Support will continue, however, as long as is needed.

Other providers would help refugees find jobs, but for most the number one priority would be to become proficient English speakers, he said.

Urban school principals emphasised the importance of early identification of where in Ashburton the refugees would be living to allow them time to plan for what could be a quite significant boost to their roll. Most are already under pressure for classroom space.

Ashburton College principal Ross Preece suggested that a prac-

tical way forward could be for his school to hold daily English classes for refugee students of all ages during their first few months in the district.

Over the coming months Safer Ashburton will be working across the community to have a full range of support in place to ensure the refugee families are able

to assimilate as easily as possible into their new home.

“These will be exciting times as our refuges integrate into our community. Economically it will also be a boost and it will be our job to welcome them and to help them as they integrate into their a lives in Ashburton,” mayor new Neil Brown said.

Hinds firefighter off to Australia

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

A member of the Hinds Volunteer Rural Fire Force has packed his bags and joined more than 20 other New Zealand firefighters to battle the catastrophic bush fires in Australia.

Tim Clark is part of a group of firefighters sent to Australia to join six New Zealanders already assisting Australian firefighters as they battle more than 70 different bush fires that have resulted in a state of emergency being declared in New South Wales.

Hinds Volunteer Rural Fire Force Chief Fire Officer Dave Kingsbury said there were a number of members of the Hinds unit that have put their hands up to be part of major fire operations should they be needed, whether that is in New Zealand or overseas.

“It is a real step up on what we do normally,” he said.

“We are talking about fires that require a certain level of physical fitness, health and knowledge and ability to do the job.”

Kingsbury said Fire and Emergency New Zealand run boot camps for those interested in taking part in major operations like this to prepare them if they are selected to take part.

“You can’t just say you’ll do it,

Tim Clark (front right) is one of 21 firefighters being sent to assist with the catastrophic Australian bush fires.

PHOTO SUPPLIED you have to prove you can. It takes a different skill set,” he said.

“It is not just hard yakka, there are also support personnel there co-ordinating hundreds, up to thousands, of firefighters.

“He won’t just be going over there for a holiday.”

Kingsbury said he was antici-

pating Clark would be away for a fortnight, but that would depend on how things went.

“It will be an experience, he has been on call a couple of times but I am pretty sure this is the first time he is going.”

Minister for Internal Affairs Tracey Martin announced on

Tuesday the 21 firefighters would be sent to help fight the ongoing fires.

“The fires in Australia are in some of the toughest, most challenging conditions ever,” she said.

“Because of the extreme severity of these events, Fire and Emergency New Zealand is deploying

21 New Zealand firefighters to support the effort in fighting the Queensland wildfires.”

The New Zealand contingent of six three-person crews, consisting of two taskforce leaders and one liaison officer, began their operations yesterday.

These crews are in addition to the six New Zealand personnel currently assisting in New South Wales.

“The request to provide this assistance is recognition of the high regard in which our Fire and Emergency personnel are held internationally,” Martin said.

“Deployments such as this also provide valuable development opportunities for our personnel.

Some of the lessons learnt on past overseas deployments were put into practice at the Tasman fires in February.”

The Government will continue to monitor the situation closely, and Fire and Emergency remain in contact with Australian fire authorities about their needs. The situation in Australia is extremely dynamic and numbers deployed are likely to change at short notice.

“My thoughts are with all of the firefighters combating these fires.

I know our firefighters head to Australia with the support of all New Zealanders behind them.”

Hong Kong in chaos AP A sharp escalation of violence in Hong Kong is once again raising the question of how China’s central government will respond: Will it deploy its armed forces, or allow the chaos and destruction to continue?

Protests persisted Tuesday at university campuses and the central business district following a day of violence that left two people in critical condition after a police officer shot a protester and a man was set on fire during an argument with demonstrators.

Rioters again disrupted traffic and vandalised shops in multiple neighbourhoods. Subways were partially shut down, and passengers on one train were forced to get off and walk along the tracks.

The unabating tumult, now in its sixth month, may give the ruling Communist Party the justification it needs to intervene, analysts said.

While the movement began peacefully in June to oppose a now-withdrawn extradition bill, it has been increasingly defined by smaller groups of hard-core demonstrators bent on sowing chaos. Their actions, which have included setting cars on fire and smashing storefronts, have alienated many residents.

A former British colony, Hong Kong was returned to China in 1997 under the framework of “one country, two systems,” a policy which promises the semi-autonomous territory certain democratic rights not granted to the mainland. But the arrests of pro-democracy activists and booksellers in recent years have raised fears among Hong Kong residents that Beijing is encroaching on the city’s freedoms.

During a key meeting of the party’s Central Committee at

Disney+ crashes on first day

Student protesters walk by the vandalised Hong Kong University as protests continue in Hong Kong.

PHOTO AP the end of October, Chinese leaders proposed establishing and strengthening the “legal system and enforcement mechanism for safeguarding national security” in special administrative regions like Hong Kong and Macao.

A meeting summary from the Xinhua state news agency did not elaborate on what this would entail, but Chinese officials have variously pointed to Article 14, Article 18 and Article 23 of the Basic Law, Hong Kong’s de facto constitution.

Article 14 allows the Hong Kong-based garrison of the Chinese military to help with public order maintenance at the request of the local government. Article 18 states that national laws may be applied in Hong Kong if China’s ceremonial parliament decides that the region is in a “state of emergency” that endangers national unity or security.

Zhang Xiaoming, head of the

Cabinet’s Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, said over the weekend that Hong Kong has yet to fulfil Article 23, which stipulates that the city will “enact laws on its own to prohibit any act of treason, secession, sedition, subversion” against the central government. These laws should also ban the theft of state secrets and prevent foreign political organisations from conducting political activities in Hong Kong. Beijing has repeatedly accused foreign forces of fomenting the unrest.

Proposing new national security legislation is likely to further inflame the protests, though China may not be opposed to that, said Joseph Cheng, a pro-democracy advocate and retired City University of Hong Kong political scientist.

China has made it clear that it intends to maintain a hard line politically, refusing to make any concessions to protesters while pushing ahead with unpopular

security legislation, Cheng said.

A further concern is that Beijing might order the postponement of Hong Kong’s local assembly elections scheduled for November 24, freezing in place the current pro-China makeup of the body and avoiding possible embarrassment for the administration of Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam. Although Lam has been criticised for a lack of leadership and her inflexibility, she has faithfully carried out Beijing’s will. During meetings last week in Shanghai and Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed support for her work.

As protesters’ tactics have become increasingly extreme, crippling regular operations in the city and plunging various districts into mayhem, the government has shifted its focus toward the violence and away from the democratic reforms the movement intended to advocate.

Trump impeachment hearing to go public AP The closed doors of the Trump impeachment investigation are swinging wide open.

When the gavel strikes at the start of the House hearing, America and the rest of the world will have the chance to see and hear for themselves for the first time about President Donald Trump’s actions toward Ukraine and consider whether they are, in fact, impeachable offences.

It’s a remarkable moment, even for a White House full of them.

All on TV, committee leaders will set the stage, then comes the main feature: Two seasoned diplomats, William Taylor, the greying former infantry officer now charge d’affaires in Ukraine, and George Kent, the deputy assistant secretary in Washington, telling the striking, if sometimes

complicated, story of a president allegedly using foreign policy for personal and political gain ahead of the 2020 election.

So far, the narrative is splitting Americans, mostly along the same lines as Trump’s unusual presidency. The Constitution sets a dramatic, but vague, bar for impeachment, and there’s no consensus yet that Trump’s actions at the heart of the inquiry meet the threshold of “high crimes and misdemeanours”.

Whether the proceedings begin to end a presidency or help secure Trump’s position, it’s certain that his chaotic term has finally arrived at a place he cannot control and a force, the constitutional system of checks and balances, that he cannot ignore.

The country has been here just three times before, and never against the backdrop

of social media and real-time commentary, including from the president himself.

“These hearings will address subjects of profound consequence for the nation and the functioning of our government under the Constitution,” said Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee leading the inquiry, in a memo to lawmakers.

Schiff called it a “solemn undertaking,” and counselled colleagues to “approach these proceedings with the seriousness of purpose and love of country that they demand.”

Impeachments are rare, historians say, because they amount to nothing short of the nullification of an election.

Starting down this road poses risks for both Democrats and Republicans as proceedings push into the 2020 campaign.

Unlike the Watergate hear-

ings and Richard Nixon, there is not yet a “cancer on the presidency” moment galvanising public opinion.

Nor is there the national shrug, as happened when Bill Clinton’s impeachment ultimately didn’t result in his removal from office. It’s perhaps most like the partisanship-infused impeachment of Andrew Johnson after the Civil War. Trump calls the whole thing a “witch hunt,” a retort that echoes Nixon’s own defence.

Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was initially reluctant to launch a formal impeachment inquiry.

Hearings are expected to continue and will shift, likely

by Thanksgiving, to the Judiciary Committee to consider actual articles of impeachment.

The House, which is controlled by Democrats, is expected to vote by Christmas.

Disney+ has officially launched in the US, but things have not gone smoothly and fans are not having it. As you’d expect with a new streaming service and one which was always inevitably going to be flooded with users as soon as possible, the site is struggling to keep up and has been experiencing glitches and full-on crashes throughout its first day. Fans have taken to social media in droves to complain, with many upset that Disney hadn’t been better prepared for the influx of traffic. A spokesperson says: “The consumer demand for Disney+ has exceeded our high expectations. We are pleased by this incredible response and are working to quickly resolve the current user issue.”

New chaser for The Chase The Chase host Bradley Walsh has announced there will be a new Chaser joining the team of formidable quizmasters on the show. Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Walsh revealed: “We’ve got a brand new Chaser coming into another new series now so it just goes on and on.” A spokesperson for the show confirmed the new casting to Express, saying the new Chaser would “be revealed in due course”. When the show began in 2009, only Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett and Shaun ‘The Dark Destroyer’ Wallace stood between the contestants and their bid to take home some cash.

John Legend Sexiest Man R&B crooner John Legend has been named the 2019’s Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine. The Grammy-winning singer known for his silky-smooth vocals was revealed as this year’s winner on NBC’s The Voice. He serves as a coach on the singing competition series with Gwen Stefani, Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton.

Shelton, who was named Sexiest Man Alive in 2017, announced Legend’s honour on The Voice. The country singer then handed Legend some short shorts with bedazzled letters EGOTSMA to signify the singer’s many honours: an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony and now, Sexiest Man Alive.

OUR VIEW

Open our hearts to our Afghan friends A

Unlike people in many, many countries, we do not live in fear of political or racial persecution, we do not have a government that tells us what we can do and when. We live our lives in the manner we want. We understand freedom in its truest sense.

And that makes us perfectly placed to offer the hand of friendship to those less fortunate.

Ashburton has been chosen

as one of New Zealand’s refugee resettlement towns. In that, we’re joining a growing number of towns and cities around the country that are rolling out the refugee welcome mat.

For us, this is new territory.

Earlier this year we were told our bid to become a new home to refugees was successful, and yesterday we were given the long awaited news – we now know who our new residents will be – families from war-torn and drought stricken Afghanistan.

The knowing suddenly makes this undertaking just that little bit more real.

It’s an exciting undertaking for us. As a community we have an opportunity to change lives, but we also have an opportunity to

enrich our own.

Our refugee families, possibly numbering 30, will be strangers in a very strange land. Their experiences on their journey from their homeland to New Zealand will have been harrowing and many will have spent time in safe-haven countries before being accepted by New Zealand.

But while our new arrivals will have refugee status and will have fled their homeland with very little, each will bring with them skills and experiences they will want to share. Many will be highly skilled in their own fields and ultimately will become valued members of our workforce.

However, that’s in the future.

Short term, our refugees will be focusing their energies on

assimilating into the Ashburton community, learning English, learning the peculiarities of the Kiwi lifestyle that we all take for granted. Helping them through those very strange waters is our job.

We need to be there with a the welcoming smile, the hand of friendship extended from day one. How our new residents settle is up to us.

Already a large team has been established to take care of every practicality but beyond that, the difference between whether they gain a sense of belonging or always feel like strangers in a strange land is in the hands of each one of us.

Make those hands welcoming ones.

(Rowe filed for divorce in 1999.)

In 1997, a jury in Fairfax, Virginia, decided that Pakistani national Aimal Khan Kasi should get the death penalty for gunning down two CIA employees outside agency headquarters. (Five years later on this date, Aimal Khan Kasi was executed.)

In 2004, Mahmoud Abbas, successor to Yasser Arafat, escaped unharmed when militants firing assault rifles burst into a mourning tent for the deceased Palestinian leader in Gaza, killing two security guards.

Ten years ago: President Barack Obama, on a mission to repair America’s global standing, told Asian countries during a speech in Tokyo that he was determined to engage them as equal partners in the economy, diplomacy and security.

Five years ago: During his visit to Asia, President Barack Obama mounted a warm show of support for Myanmar’s opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, appearing with the democracy activist on the back porch of her lakeside home.

t times it might not seem like it, but we live a very privileged life in our dis-

trict.

Yes, there is poverty, yes there are many who struggle from pay day to pay day, many for whom social events and outings are rare, but largely we’re able to put food on our tables, keep warm in winter and provide ourselves and our families with the basics of life.

No question, we don’t all live on a level playing field, but we do live in a country where opportunities abound, where those who want to can achieve, where there are organisations who help us overcome financial hurdles, but most of all we live in a country where we are free.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, November 14, the 318th day of 2019.

There are 47 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On November 14, 1972, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above the 1,000 level for the first time, ending the day at 1003.16.

On this date: In 1862, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln gave the go-ahead for Major General Ambrose Burnside’s plan to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond; the resulting Battle of Fredericksburg proved a disaster for the Union.

In 1907, two renowned children’s authors were born: William Steig (Shrek) in New York, Astrid Lindgren (Pippi Longstocking) near Vimmerby, Sweden.

In 1910, Eugene B. Ely became the first aviator to take off from a ship as his Curtiss pusher rolled off a sloping platform on the deck of the scout cruiser USS Birmingham off Hampton Roads, Virginia.

In 1940, during World War Two, German planes destroyed most of the English town of Coventry.

In 1943, Leonard Bernstein, the 25-year-old assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic, made his debut with the orchestra as he filled in for the ailing Bruno Walter during a nationally broadcast concert.

In 1965, the US Army’s first major military operation of the Vietnam War began with the start of the five-day Battle of Ia Drang.

(The fighting between American troops and North Vietnamese forces ended on November 18 with both sides claiming victory.)

In 1969, Apollo 12 blasted off for the moon.

In 1970, a chartered Southern Airways DC-9 crashed while trying to land in West Virginia, killing all 75 people on board.

In 1973, DPB legislation was enacted. The passage of the Social Security Amendment Act introduced the Domestic Purposes Benefit (DPB) to New Zealand’s social welfare system.

Between 1992 and 2014, 90 per cent of gang members received a benefit – some for 15 years – which led to a cost of $500m, $135,000 per gang member.

Welfare dependency T

he welfare dependency controversy has been re-joined. We now have a precarious, three-piece, bespoke government, apparently intent on making it far more financially rewarding to have, by choice, no job, rather than make the effort to find one.

Thus the famous “hand up” for those who genuinely need assistance – as intended by Michael Joseph Savage, of blessed memory – has reverted to the inglorious “hand-out” to those who don’t.

It’s a vexed question, whereby the slightest criticism of the generosity of the current system will be fallen upon and savaged by those who feel any aspersions regarding the necessity of welfare grants, subsidies or assistance of whatever kind, amounts to an attack on the poor, is well on the road to fascism, or worse, and must be opposed to the death.

“Hands off”, they cry, “this was why we voted Labour.”

However, there are some still prepared to attempt to introduce a degree of balance into the argument, much to their credit.

Naturally, they have to speak through a face-mask, a pixel-blurred screen and semi-darkness to preserve the anonymity of their identity.

All, that is, except Simon Bridges, currently the leader of the National Party, but for how much longer, with a General Election pending, no one can be sure.

He has recently – and fearlessly – made clear his view of

Nick Lindo

EYE ON POLITICS

a system which, he points out with vehement satisfaction, offers a person greater financial rewards for not working than for doing the opposite. He also believes, strongly, that, “anyone who can work should do so” rather than be supported by the state, even when refusing the offer of a decently-paid job for the most trivial of reasons or for no reason at all.

“Failure”, in the wider sense, leads to the increase in the recipient’s benefit, “success” to its diminution. That would once have been described as a thoroughly Irish situation but these days such a racist reference would lead to the collapse of the roof and probably time behind bars. Which is why, as you will agree, I didn’t make it.

Wisely, neither did Simon, presumably not wishing to alienate, or hurt the feelings of, his Irish supporters of whom, for all I know, there may be many thousands in Aotearoa, New Zealand (as the pollsters seem not to have got off their chuffs to validate, or otherwise, that figure, I cannot be sure of it).

Once the welfare benefits become embedded in the family culture – often for generations both past and yet to come –

FREE

dependency follows as night the day and still more bewildered citizens find themselves enmeshed in the trap, for trap it is, despite there being jobs, if not “to burn” yet still sufficient to occupy usefully and remuneratively, many more than those making the effort to find them.

Hence the solo parent with two children receiving $900 a week as compared with minimum wage of $708 a week.

Claims Bridges, “This coalition Government has gone soft on social welfare.”

Quotes, from the AGM report of Ministry of Social Development (MSD) also provide Bridges with more ammunition: 292,000 receiving benefits, up 5.2 per cent on last year; Job Seeker support up 700 to 59,000. And all this at a time when, argues the Leader of the Opposition, sanctions for non-compliance of benefit qualifications have been relaxed and, also, coinciding with an increase in the special needs grants.

The MSD annual report refers too, to “time and effort spent on making the agency more user-friendly including children’s areas, signage and water coolers”.

Nine hundred persons were contacted who might qualify for benefits and another 3000 questioned to see if they do. Thus are case managers “run off their feet” lessening the likelihood of able-bodied beneficiaries to transition to work.

It can be argued, therefore, claims National, that pro-active work expectations for 80 per

cent of welfare beneficiaries means that instead of encouraging them to get into the workforce the taxpayer is paying them to do nothing, etc. And there’s more in this vein.

The approach seems to be to hand out the benefit with few questions asked, and then “we might look at finding the recipient a job sometime in the future.” In many cases that wait for a job has turned into permanency.

Particularly, points out Bridges, between 1992 and 2014, 90 per cent of gang members received a benefit – some for 15 years – which led to a cost of $500m, $135,000 per gang member, which equates to gang members now being virtually state sponsored.

The National Party’s welfare dependency discussion document, issued at the end of October, outlined the “harder line” on all aspects of this issue the party will attempt to enforce if and when next returned to office.

And that, hopes Bridges, will be fewer than 11 months away. If he really gets among some of the anomalies outlined above, it will be a case of National rather than Labour re-affirming the principles of MJ.Savage. I’m sure MJS would smile at the irony of that.

No threat to farming from forestry

By Damien O’Connor

T

here’s some agitation out there at the moment about farming being under threat from forestry.

Much of what’s circulating is based on misinformation so it’s time to lay out the facts.

We have 12.1m hectares of farmland in this country and 1.7m hectares of forestry.

Under the One Billion Trees target the amount of forestry land would increase to two million hectares by 2028 and help us meet our climate change objectives.

We had two million hectares of forest land in 2002, this would be a gradual redistribution that brings us back to that.

There is no Government policy that encourages high-value pastoral land to be planted in pine trees and there is no evidence of this happening.

The latest Overseas Investment Office statistics show about 8,800 hectares of farmland has been converted to forestry under the new special benefits test – that’s one thousandth of New Zealand’s total sheep and beef land.

The Government is not subsiding whole farm conversions or allowing foreign carbon speculators to buy up farms and plant permanent forests for carbon credits.

The streamlined rules for offshore investors only apply to production forests so talk that the rules are being gamed by offshore carbon speculators is wrong.

The purpose of the One Billion Trees Fund is to help farmers integrate trees onto their properties, which helps diversify their incomes while improving environmental outcomes.

We want the ‘right tree in the right place, for the right purpose’.

Minister of Agriculture, Damien O’Connor.

The Government provides higher grant rates for native species over pine. Twothirds of the trees established through the Fund will be natives.

Despite what some might say, the Government doesn’t “hate” farmers and we’re not interested in destroying rural communities.

This Government is extremely proud of the ongoing high performance of our primary sector and we’re backing farming for the long term.

We’re committed to working alongside farmers to get more value for what they do and step away from a volume focused approach that the last Government pushed.

We’re investing in the future of farming in this country. The $229 million sustainable land use Budget package is being used to boost farm extension and advisory services.

The Farm Debt Mediation and NAIT Bills aim to provide a safety net from farmers against financial problems and biosecurity outbreaks and we’re supporting farmer well-being by more than doubling funding for the Rural Support Trust.

We’ve also progressed trade deals that open up the world’s largest economies to our primary exports.

We’re not just talking about supporting our farmers to succeed – we’re doing it.

We need a balance of farming and forestry to meet our long-term challenges and we all need to support our thriving primary sector.

Using less synthetic nitrogen Dairy farmer Alan Law is hoping a trial held on his farm will produce firm evidence that dairy farmers can grow more grass at a lower cost, while using less synthetic nitrogen.

Alan’s brother David Law, a former dairy farmer turned biological farming consultant, has implemented a Total Replacement Therapy (TRT) programme on Alan’s Whakatane farm which cuts the use of synthetic nitrogen completely and encourages the natural biology of the farm to flourish, fixing nitrogen naturally.

Alan says it’s an idea that may intimidate farmers, many of whom have high debt levels and are hesitant to make drastic changes to their farm system.

“Farmers can’t afford to take any risks with loss of production or feed,” Alan said.

“They may want to farm differently but are unsure what to do, when to do it, or how to do it.”

The Law family currently milks 850 cows on three farms, which includes land the family has farmed for 100 years.

“We feel a lot of pride and responsibility to look after the land, and with two sons sharemilking in the enterprise it will go to the next generation as well,” he says.

Alan, who bought his first farm in 1980, has always farmed conventionally, using chemical fertilisers.

However, over the past few years he has started making changes that will allow the family to farm more sustainably.

“Wendy and I are committed, loyal and proactive dairy farmers; you’ve got to keep your eyes open to new ways of doing things,” Alan said.

“We’ve cut our stocking rate back by 20 per cent on one farm, and for the past eight months we have voluntarily reduced our nitrogen use by 33 per cent.

“That led nicely into this change of system.”

Before agreeing to the trial, Alan stipulated that the transition period must not have any negative

impact on the amount of pasture grown on farm, or any negative financial impacts to the business.

The new programme also had to be in line with the farm’s average fertiliser spend.

In addition, every measurement relevant to government regulations going forward was to be monitored including greenhouse gas emission, water pollution, and carbon sequestering, as well as comprehensive pasture composition, worm population and soil structure measuring and testing.

By autumn next year, there will be comprehensive data available that David believes will prove farmers can survive without synthetic nitrogen, and grow more grass at a lower cost as a result – something he has already done on his own farm.

“When I was farming biologically I reduced the amount of synthetic nitrogen I used by 80 per cent, and increased the amount of the pasture I grew by 30 per cent,” he said.

“I’ve been working on perfecting this concept since I left farming, and I’ve fine-tuned it to get results quickly.”

David says over time, farmers have become “addicted” to synthetic nitrogen.

“When farmers are facing a feed shortage, the first thing they do is turn to synthetic nitrogen,” he said.

“Total Replacement Therapy is a process that gets clover fixing nitrogen naturally – the way it used to happen – so synthetic nitrogen can be switched off and replaced with a natural system.

“Alan had the confidence to try something new; not only for himself, but to become an example of catchment management for other farmers in the area and throughout the country.”

Farmers interested in reducing the amount of synthetic nitrogen they use on farm, and those interested in becoming part of the trial, are invited to contact the Forward Farming team.

Glidepath sold to French robotics firm

By Grant Bradley NZME

New Zealand airport-baggage and parcel-handling systems company Glidepath has been sold to French robotics firm B2A Technology.

Privately owned Glidepath was founded by Sir Ken Stevens 47 years ago and he said it was the right time to sell.

“The sale will allow Glidepath to build on its strong performance and prospects with a new owner who has the right synergies, capabilities and customer-centric values to step up and take the business to the next level of growth,” he said.

Glidepath has grown rapidly in the past decade as international travel has boomed and parcel traffic has grown.

The terms of the deal haven’t been disclosed.

Sir Ken, who was knighted in 2009, will step down as executive chairman of the company, which has its headquarters in New Zealand and more than 1000 projects in 68 countries.

Glidepath has a centre of excellence for automated modular product and proprietary software development and a manu-

Glidepath group general manager Natalie Bilyard said there would be opportunities to leverage technical and commercial systems and synergies to grow the business.

“We have complementary customer offerings and do not compete in the same markets,” she said.

Stevens, who has been a champion of New Zealand manufacturing and exporting, said he will continue to do that and support the West Auckland community and ’‘encourage the incubation and development of fresh innovations’’.

He was a former chairman of Export NZ. B2A Technology is the holding company for Alstef and BA Systèmes. Alstef has designed hundreds of integrated systems for airport and logistics facilities and has subsidiaries in Canada, Turkey, Russia and Croatia.

Directors of Tamarind Taranaki, the New Zealand business of a Malaysian oil and gas producer say the company “may be insolvent”.

Tamarind operates three oil fields according to its website, Tui, Amokura, and Pateke in the Tui Area oil field. It is the 100 per cent owner and operator of the fields.

The company’s business model is to buy oil fields late in their production life.

When buying fields off other companies, Tamarind assumes responsibility for any remediation costs when the field is closed.

On Monday evening the directors of the company declared in a statement posted on the Companies Office website that it “is insolvent or may become insolvent”.

On its website, Tamarind said the company needed to

be restructured.

“The appointment of the administrators is as a result of a number of commercial factors including a deterioration in oil price amongst others affecting the performance of the company, which has contributed to the company’s current financial position being unsustainable absent a restructuring.”

Tamarind said administrators would directly control the company’s “assets, operations and books and records” during the restructure.

A moratorium has been placed on payments to creditors. A meeting of creditors would be placed within eight days of the administrators’ appointment.

In September, it was reported that the company had abandoned a planned drilling programme after the first of three wells was unsuccessful.

The wells were meant to extend the life of the fields.

In October Offshore Energy Today reported that BW Offshore, the owners of the Umuroa, the floating production, storage and offloading facility which gathers oil from the Tui area, had been told the contract for the vessel would not be renewed beyond December 31.

Later that month the publication reported that the Norwegian company was pursuing overdue payments in relation to Umuroa, which has been gathering oil at the fields since 2007.

Attempts to contact the company’s New Zealand office or the company’s Singapore-based administrators have been unsuccessful.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment has not yet commented on whether Tamarind has liabilities to the Crown.

NZ Post may owe workers $38 million NZME NZ Post is setting aside $38 million to pay back as many as 22,000 workers who are owed additional holiday pay.

This follows an audit by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment in 2016 when it identified that NZ Post was one of many New Zealand organisations needing to change the way it calculates leave and holiday pay to fully line up with the Holidays Act 2003.

NZ Post chief financial officer Michael Boersen encouraged for-

mer workers to get in touch with the organisation.

“Anyone that worked at NZ Post between May 10, 2010 and today may be entitled to a back payment.

We’ve written to 17,000 former employees and asked them to register their details at our portal so we can keep in touch as we work through the calculations,” he said.

He said it was difficult at this stage to say exactly how many workers would ultimately be paid back money.

NZ Post is working with the union to contact former employees to make sure they receive what’s due to them.

E tu negotiation specialist Joe Gallagher said it had faced challenges reaching some former employees.

“NZ Post has written to their last known address, but as it dates back to 2010, many people’s details may be out of date,” Gallagher said.

NZ Post reported a loss of $121 million in the 12 months ended June 30 this year.

The latest period did, however, include the $38m being set aside to cover holiday pay as well as a $51m impairment charge on mail service assets and a $15m settlement with ACC and the New Zealand Superannuation Fund.

Ashburton Justices of the Peace Association A large gathering of Justices and visitors attended the 69th Annual General meeting held in the Ashburton Seniors Centre on Tuesday November 5.

Senior Sergeant Leigh Jenkins, officer in charge of the Ashburton Police Station, was the guest speaker at the meeting.

He had a positive view of the work Police do in Ashburton and gave the meeting some interesting crime facts of our district. Sgt Leigh said he would like to see better co-operation between the Court, Police, and Justice Issuing Officers to cut down the time it takes to get search warrants.

Officers elected for the year include, Patron Kevin Geddes JP, President Ian Moore JP, Senior VP Max Cawte JP, Junior VP Alistair Morrison JP, Anne Parnham JP as Registrar and Murray Bassett JP as treas-

Bermaline and Barnett cups, both Par rounds. The Bermaline winner was Pete Morrison with a superb +6, that’s a brilliant score for a low handicapper, and the Barnett Vase was picked up by Jamie Stone with an amazing +7. Well done to both winners.

There were some big movers in the RMF Silva final series. We were only looking at the scores of the top 25 players left in, and Bruce Day was the pick of the bunch, getting the full 15 points for his +2, this moved him up to third in the standings.

Dylan Stoddart jumped to first place

Delivering his annual report for 2019, President Ian reported on the Federation Annual Conference in Blenhiem and the Southern Regional Conference in Gore where he represented the Ashburton Association. He said our association was equal or better than a lot of other associations in New Zealand when it came to training done by Justices and the work we do in our community.

The Royal Federation of JPs Associations Vice President Terry Byrne thanked President Ian for his full report and congratulated the Justices of Ashburton for the voluntary work they do for the community.

The Southern Royal Federation of JPs representative Lindsey Dow thanked President Ian for his leadership and offered some training tips for JPs.

with a steady round of +1. After all the scores were put in the bottom 5 were again cut, which now leaves the final 20 to play in the final round on Saturday week.

Where at a quick glance, it seems that anyone of the top 9 can pick up the trophy with an outright win, and even the 20th place can pick up the title if other results fall in his favour. We will talk more on this next week.

This Saturday we have our show weekend AM Sutherland Trophy, a mixed day, playing a combined stableford pairs, with any pairing allowed. Usual start times.

Another call out for all trophies to be brought back to the club please. We need all these in so we can get them engraved again, to hand out on the Presentation Night which is November 30.

The jolly boys arrived home safe and sound last Saturday, though a little worse for wear, and only half managed to front up at golf. Hoppy was the top gun this year, ultra-consistent over the seven rounds on varying courses, he just pipped Bruce, and Arkwright rounded off the top three.

The biggest battle ground was for the wooden spoon, Pat and Paddy fought tooth and nail for this. Pat did not want to let this go and threw in some truly woeful rounds, but the big lad proved immovable and celebrated the wooden spoon with an extra 4 shots on his handicap, what an athlete.

Have a great long weekend, till next time good golfing.

Membership is 60 active Justices and 10 JP Retired.

We had five New Justices appointed during the year and one Justice waiting to be Sworn In. There are at present six Justice nominees in the pipeline at various stages. One Justice has been appointed as an Issuing Officer during the year. Congratulations to Sandra Leak JP. JP Signing Centre work is still increasing. A 300 per cent increase from May/June 2012 to May/June 2019 figures. The average documents per client are also increasing.

Our council has just set up to run two two-hour sessions on Tuesdays and Fridays in the lunch hours at Community House starting December 3. The figures for the last 12 months to end of October are Documents 3568, Clients 908 and Hours 288.

Ashburton Writers’ Group President Julie Fechney welcomed members to the November meeting of the Ashburton Writers’ Group.

Stacey read a quotation: “The role of a writer is not to say what we all want to say but what we are unable to say” - By Anais Nin. Rae read the chapter for the progressive story that she had written, Stacey is to write the next chapter.

The Christmas lunch was discussed, to be on Tuesday December 3.

Stacey gave a report of the recent Wham Bam event in Christchurch that she had organised. Some $650 had been raised for CanInspire.

The assignment for the meeting was “How Did We Even/Ever”. Members wrote of divorce papers, what to be, elusive gold, small town, spoken words and eggs. This caused some lively discussion on the best way to print one of the stories which was a true adventure story. Should it be in the first person or third person was a question that was discussed as well.

The February assignment is “Shadow for the Day”, that could be rather challenging!

Visitors are welcome, contact Rae on 3088927.

■■GOLF

Van Rooyen faces crucial stretch

By Doug Ferguson AP Golf Writer

Erik Van Rooyen’s travels in golf have taken him places he wasn’t expecting without ever losing sight of the big picture.

He wants to be among the elite in golf, and the next month could be a big step.

Even with a poor tee shot at the wrong time – the first hole of a sixman playoff – Van Rooyen’s tie for second in Turkey moved him to No 8 in the Race to Dubai standings and No 51 in the world with two events left in the European Tour season. The first one is this week in his native South Africa at the Nedbank Golf Challenge.

Along with being in the hunt for the Race to Dubai, a strong finish might be enough for him to end the year in the top 50. That would get him in at least three majors, including the Masters, and most likely two World Golf Championships in the spring.

“It’s important,” Van Rooyen said. “I would love to finish the year top 50 in the world. It’s been a goal from the start.”

The 29-year-old started the year at No 141 and cracked the top 100 for the first time with his tie for eighth in the PGA Championship at Bethpage Black. He took another step with a 64-64 weekend to win the Scandinavian Masters.

He would love nothing more than a return to America, where he would surely face more questions about going to college.

How does a guy who grew up across the Outeniqua Mountains from the Indian Ocean wind up at the University of Minnesota?

“The first question everybody asks me,” he said with a laugh. “At the time, they were top 30 in the country and I wanted to play for a really competitive school. I enjoyed my four years there. I’d go back. I met my wife – she’s from there. I loved it.”

Van Rooyen spent three years on the Sunshine Tour. A playoff victory over Dylan Frittelli in the Eye of Africa PGA Championship gave him enough money to pay for his year on the Challenge Tour in Europe, where he won late in

the season to earn a trip to the European Tour.

He made it to the season finale in Dubai as a rookie last year. He made the cut in all three majors he played this year (minus the Masters).

His seven top-10 finishes, including his victory in Sweden, have at least given him a chance in the Race to Dubai.

He also did well enough to merit

a phone call from Ernie Els, albeit with bad news that he would not be a captain’s pick for the Presidents Cup. “I don’t think I’m close to reaching my full potential,” Van Rooyen said. “I know guys are younger than me playing good golf. That’s OK. I’m on my road. I want to be a top 10 player in the world, whenever that happens. I just want to get as good as I possibly can.”

Perry to perform at World T20 final on Women’s Day AP Katy Perry will perform before and after the Women’s Twenty20 World Cup cricket final on International Women’s Day as organisers bid to set a world record for attendance.

Perry will perform March 8 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in what is tipped to be the biggest women’s cricket match ever.

The tournament starts February 21 in Sydney with defending champion Australia against India and will conclude under lights at the historic MCG. The International Cricket Council says local organisers are aiming to break the world record of 90,185 for a crowd at a women’s

sports event, set during the 1999 FIFA World Cup final at Pasadena, California.

“The final ... presents a groundbreaking opportunity to set a world record for attendance at a women’s sporting fixture on the day when equality and women’s achievements are celebrated globally,” the ICC said yesterday.

Perry, who is in India this week, said: “I’m all about celebrating equality and the achievements of women, which naturally happens on a global scale on International Women’s Day. “It’s no coincidence that I said yes to performing live at the women’s final on this day.”

The playoff loss in Turkey helped more than Van Rooyen.

Right behind him – in the Race to Dubai and the world ranking – was Victor Perez of France, who was part of the playoff. Perez won the Dunhill Links Championship a month ago.

Perez also has experience in the US. He played his college golf at the University of New Mexico.

Above – South Africa’s Erik van Rooyen needs a big finish to his year to crack the top 50 in the world.

■■ LONGBEACH COASTAL CHALLENGE

It’s not too late to enter

By Rachael Rickard

W

ith entries still open for the Longbeach Coastal Challenge, it’s not too late to get involved.

The organising committee of the Ruralco Longbeach Coastal Challenge has been excited to see a flurry of last minute entries over the past week – including three corporate mountain bike teams from BNZ, some enthusiastic high school competitors, a firsttime event runner, a mum who’s decided to walk with the toddler backpack and a dad who doesn’t know it yet but is signed up for a 12km mountain bike ride with his son.

Whichever event you are choosing to be part of – mountain bike, run or walk – the organising committee is excited and ready to get under way for another successful challenge on Sunday, November 24.

The unique aspect of this community event is that with the support from our sponsors and participants, entry fees go directly towards projects which directly help people in our community.

Over the past few years funds raised have gone to support teacher aides and additional education resources at Longbeach School.

Funds raised by the Hinds District Lions have been given directly to support projects like the Maia Health Foundation’s large rooftop helipad, which will enable faster access to medical assistance for critically injured patients arriving at Christchurch Hospital by helicopter.

This helipad will remove the 13-minute transition that patients currently have as they land in Hagley Park, are then unloaded and transferred to the hospital.

Improved education resources for our local children and critical access to medical care are two of the many positive outcomes that arise from entering and taking part in the Longbeach Coastal Challenge.

Sign up today and get involved in this fun family day out, either mountain bike, run or walk.

For our athletes who have been following the training programmes over the last week, there are now just nine sleeps till race day, so expect a little change of pace over the next week.

Training summary, Courtesy of Team CP: 35km mountain bike – four sessions made up of 2 x 60 min medium pace cycle; 1 x 75 min steady cycle, 1 x 90 min steady ride.

12km run – three sessions made up of 1 x 40 min steady run, 1 x strength or circuit session, 1 x 30 min group run.

21km run – four sessions made up of 2 x 40 min steady runs, 1 x strength or circuit session, 1 x 30 min group run.

All other days are rest days.

It is advised that you finish with five minutes of stretching, going through your main muscle groups, or use a foam roller to roll your muscles out. This will help your recovery.

Now is the time to plan a pre-race massage and ensure you have the right food/gels for your race day.

Online entries are open until Monday, November 17.

All the best this week, RR.

Rachael Rickard is the marketing and publicity co-ordinator for the 2019 Ruralco Longbeach Coastal Challenge. She is currently training for the Queenstown Half Marathon and will be trying hard not to get beaten by her 6 and 7-year-olds in the 5km at the Longbeach Coastal Challenge.

As a kid growing up, there was one poster that took pride of place on Callum McCowatt’s bedroom wall.

The Phoenix midfielder, who could make his international debut on Friday morning (NZT) against Ireland, got into football the typical way, having a kick around in the park with his mates.

He played for fun for many years, but always had big dreams, as he ran around for Greenhithe football club.

“Obviously every kid playing football wants to play for the All Whites when they are younger,” McCowatt told NZME. “I remember I had a poster of Ryan Nelsen on my wall for the longest time, in his New Zealand kit. I always wanted to play for the All Whites.”

At the tender age of 20, he’s on the cusp of achieving that dream, likely to get game time at Aviva Stadium on Friday (NZT).

It continues a rapid rise for the Aucklander, who has demonstrated an ability to stand out at each new level.

He impressed for Auckland City as an 18-year-old in the ISPS Handa Premiership, and his aptitude for the big occasion was shown at the 2017 Club World Cup in Dubai, playing his natural game on an international stage.

McCowatt was the shining light for Eastern Suburbs last season, with two memorable goals in the grand final and also impressed for the Junior All Whites at the Under-20 World Cup in Poland.

McCowatt already has some strong attributes.

He seems to find time on the ball where others can’t, has good vision for a pass, makes clever runs and is a natural finisher.

“It’s great to see young guys coming through with different kinds of skills,” said teammate Ryan Thomas. “It’s a change from the past when they were all big bodies and played a certain way.”

11 teams of boys and girls from Mount Hutt College, Ashburton Intermediate, Wakanui School and Longbeach School.

Mid Canterbury Cricket coach Garfield Charles said the tournament numbers were down on previous years due to a number of school camps being held this week, but it was still pleasing to see so many teams tak-

ing part. “It is good to see how they develop through the tournament, by the time the girls get to the last two games they are doing everything, bowling and batting,” he said.

Handing out some extra advice were Canterbury Magicians Sarah Asmussen and Jess Simmons and Canterbury Cricket female development officer Rachel Candy.

True Enough captures Coupland’s Mile The Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained True Enough was backed into $4 favoritism by punters in the Gr.2 Coupland’s Bakeries Mile (1600m) at Riccarton yesterday and he duly delivered, courtesy of a gun ride by leading hoop Matthew Cameron.

The son of Nom Du Jeu began well from barrier six and settled just off the speed behind Shadows Cast for Cameron.

The pair were able to stalk the Palmerston North galloper throughout before Cameron was able to find clear racing room down the straight and True Enough was able to run down fellow Cambridge raider Vigor Winner to win by half-a-neck, with Sacred Day three-quarters of a length back in third.

It was the second Group Three victory for the six-year-old gelding after winning the Gr.3 Red Badge Spring Sprint (1400m) at Hastings last month, and Cameron said True Enough is maturing into a quality racehorse.

“Once I got stuck into him he really dug deep and all credit to the second horse, he took a while to get past. My horse is still learn-

ing and he is really starting to find that line which is great,” Cameron said.

“He is still quite raw. I know he has had a few starts but he is starting to grow up now.

“Trina (Riddell, travelling foreman) and Jonathan (Riddell) and

the team back at home have done a wonderful job with the horse.”

It was the eighth career victory for the lightly-raced galloper and co-trainer Andrew Forsman said the patient approach taken by his connections is now starting to pay dividends.

“Every time we have raised the bar with him he has stepped up, so it was nice to see him do that today.

“He has been a slow maturer and the owners have been willing to be very patient with him and we have taken our time and it seems to be paying off.”

True Enough is now likely to contest weight-for-age assignments, with the Gr.1 Rydges Wellington Captain Cook Stakes (1600m) at Trentham next month a possible target.

“He will fly home on Monday and we will see how he is and make a bit of a plan,” Forsman said. “Off the back of that win he is probably a weight-for-age horse in New Zealand.

“We have got options like the Captain Cook and at some point it would be nice to try him at a middle distance.”

Scott Robertson has spoken of his disappointment at hearing Tony Brown had decided to support Jamie Joseph in his push to be the next All Blacks coach, but conceded: “I appreciate it was a tough call for him to make to me.”

Crusaders coach Robertson had hoped to team up with Japan assistant coach Brown, whose stock rose significantly during the recent Rugby World Cup along with that of hosts Japan after their groundbreaking victories over Ireland and Scotland and meritorious performance in their quarter-final defeat to eventual champions South Africa.

The pair would have made a compelling partnership but instead Brown, who is returning to New Zealand to help Aaron Mauger with the Highlanders, has thrown his lot in with Joseph, the current head coach of Japan who also has All Black ambitions.

“Tony made his call,” Robertson said. “It was a tough phone call to make. We had planned for a while to work together. He showed his hand to work with Jamie - and his loyalty. I appreciate it was a tough call for him to make to me.”

Robertson, who spoke to the media at the official announcement of the New Zealand Super Rugby squads, will relinquish his role as Crusaders head coach should his All Black interview in early December go well and the recommendation of panelists Sir Graham Henry, Mark Robinson, Brent Impey, Mike Anthony and Waimarama Taumaunu is signed off by the New Zealand Rugby board.

But now the man known as Razor is in the process of finding another running mate to replace Brown, and he added: “That’s part of the game. You have conversations with people and you work out the best options for yourself and what is going to be best for the team. They are private conversations as you can imagine.”

He said he was an optimistic person that had worked hard coaching schoolboy rugby through to club then Super rugby.

Home track handy for locals

By Matt Markham

matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

It might be one of the quietest stages in Canterbury in horse racing terms this week, but the annual Ashburton Trotting Club meeting today can never be underestimated in terms of its value.

An 11-race programme, which caters more for the horses who aren’t quite at the level of competing at Addington on either Cup Day Tuesday or Show Day tomorrow, the meeting looks set to be one which will test punters’ skills with some wide open races scattered amongst the programme.

And the locals may well have the most to say during the meeting.

Mid Canterbury-trained, owned and even driven horses litter the day and there’s potential for one to stand up and set the ball rolling in the opening race on the programme.

Steel Dust, a maiden trotter who will be trained and driven by local horseman Terry McMillan today, has been touted as a horse with a big future but to this point hasn’t been able to put it all together on race day and show that promise.

But a superb effort at last week’s elite cup trials at Addington suggests that the brother to Inter Dominion champion Tornado Valley might be on the right path to getting it right and showing his true worth.

Other strong local chances in the early stages of the day include the Ben Waldron-trained Georgie Zukov who has been running very good races in strong maiden fields of late and should appreciate a handy draw today and a slightly weaker field than some of the more recent fields he has faced.

Ricky May will take the reins today.

In the fourth race of the day, former local John Morrison will be out to register some more home track success when he pilots Terror Maria for strike-rate trainer, Paul Kerr.

The three-year-old filly by three-time New Zealand Trotting Cup winner Terror To Love went massive on debut at Methven when finishing second and with natural improvement should provide a strong winning option for punters today.

The first race for the day gets under way 12:30pm.

NZME Having missed the last two years of Super Rugby due to health concerns, Kane Hames will not feature in the 2020 season.

Hames was not re-signed by the Chiefs for the 2020 Super Rugby season, having struggled with concussion issues over the past two seasons.

The 10-test All Blacks prop hasn’t played a Super Rugby match since the Chiefs’ 2017 semifinal against the Crusaders, with his health issues putting an abrupt halt to his rapid rise.

Hames earned his All Blacks debut in 2016 after a breakout season in the Chiefs’ pack. His selection at the time was questioned by some, and Hames made headlines at a media session when he called out a journalist who had questioned his ability. However, he proved his place and earned 10 caps through 2016 and 2017.

Speaking about Hames’ absence from the squad this year, Chiefs forwards coach Neil Barnes said the 31-year-old prop had “to put things in priority”.

“I don’t think it’s a secret that he had concussion issues and he went through the processes of trying to get right,” Barnes said.

“Your health and your whole life in front of you, he’s probably made the right decision. We would have loved to have had him back, but we’re certainly not going to put people in a position where it affects the rest of their well being.

“He’s come back in other areas; he’s a talented individual as you’ll see in his work on TV, so good on him.”

As well as being unavailable for the Chiefs over the past two years, Hames hasn’t featured for Tasman at the Mitre 10 Cup level either but has tried his hand in the commentary booth.

Hames told the Herald in a statement: “It’s been a frustrating two years learning and applying concussion recovery protocols with slow progress. However, progress is progress and I am hoping that it keeps going to the point where I can be in a position to play again”.

Cryptic crossword

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You appreciate being among self-driven people who know what they’re doing and can turn in a product, attitude or outcome consistently without be told, coerced, bribed, or manipulated in any way.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’ll do things better than you need to. It’s a matter of pride. The extra effort is what makes your work remarkable, quite literally, as people will remark on it, and quite favourably so.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You can’t change minds by doing the same old thing. With the surprising difference at the heart of your efforts, and also its edges and in the very atmosphere around you, you will succeed.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The hike is worthwhile, no matter how high you climb. You don’t have to reach the highest peak to get the benefit of perspective. And whatever altitude you reach will help you and train you for later journeys.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Even though you’re often in the spotlight, you’re a generous co-star. You share well. You’re an excellent audience member or sidekick or interviewer. You give as much attention as you take.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You may come off like you don’t care what people think of you, but the truth is that it matters more than you like to admit. And yet, to avoid future regret, you still have to do what’s right for you.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Maybe we are, as the poets and the priests have suggested, but grains of sand. Still, patterns are being made and castles built, and you’ll feel very much a part of the beautiful shore of humanity today.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Today’s dive into the lake of life will not be a graceful. Nor will it involve the flailing indecision of a painful belly-flop.

Yours will be the contracted tuck-up of a cannonball, and you’ll make a big splash.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): While it may be true history repeats itself, the repetitions can be so far apart the pattern is difficult to detect. That’s why the opinion of the experienced will be so valuable to those who take time to listen.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Whether you know what you’re doing or not will matter very little with today’s success, which will have everything to do with blind luck. Just show up and act like you’ve been there.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): As long as your needs are met, power struggles are unnecessary to you. So it might be hard for you to relate to those who seem to need to be in control at all times, but you’ll give them a wide berth.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Try and remember those weird internal thoughts you’re having as you work through the tensions of life. These are the things you have in common with most of the people around you.

Methven’s Dallas McLeod wearing a Crusaders shirt might be a regular sight next year after he signed a contract for the 2020 season.

Crusaders lock in our Dallas

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

Tony Lamborn will play for the Blues next year.

It is a case of one in and one out for Mid Canterbury representation in the Crusaders Super Rugby squad for 2020, while two other players with Mid Canterbury connections have picked up contracts for the season.

Methven boy Dallas McLeod has been named in the Crusaders squad for the new season while All Black Tim Perry has not been named in the initial squad.

After making a pre-season appearance for the Super Rugby champions this year, McLeod became a regular fixture on the wing for Canterbury, who finished the Mitre 10 Cup season as Ranfurly Shield holders.

Perry had another injury-dis-

rupted season at the Crusaders but was able to get through a full Mitre 10 Cup campaign with Tasman, who went on to win the premiership title.

Former Mount Hutt College student Zane Kapeli will pull on a Highlanders strip in 2020 after an impressive Rugby World Cup campaign for Tonga in Japan.

The former Methven player made headlines around the world after smashing England’s heavy hitter, Billy Vunipola, in a pool play match.

Mid Canterbury’s third representative will join Beauden Barrett as a new signing for the Blues.

Tony Lamborn, who represented the United States at the Rugby World Cup, will take his place as a loose forward in the Blues squad.

Lamborn left Ashburton aged 16 and moved to Havelock North and has represented the Hawkes Bay, Southland and the Hurricanes before playing professional rugby in America.

Perry was a notable absentee when the five New Zealand squad lists were released this week.

Perry had been with the Crusaders since 2014, where he moved from his first Super Rugby club the Blues. His time with the dominant Crusaders has been blighted by injury, but he still showed enough to the All Blacks selectors to pick him for eight matches, six of which were tests.

He made his debut against the Barbarians on November 5, 2017 and played his last test against Japan on November 3, 2018.

Home track handy for local runners today

The Highlanders have signed on Zane Kapeli.
