■■DOG RESTRICTIONS

Rules spelled out for Argyle Park

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Dog owners might not agree, but the Ashburton District Council is adamant, Argyle Park is not a dog exercise free-forall area.

A letter writer in today’s Guardian (page 23) objects to what the writers believe are new dog exercise rules in the park. For years, the writers say, they have been able to run their dogs freely across all areas of the park, but signs have now been erected making it clear that off-theleash exercise areas are limited.

While they may be correct about the signs going up only recently, nothing has changed in terms of where dogs can run free, council environmental services group manager Jane Donaldson said.

The signs have been put up to make it clear to dog owners where they can let their dogs off the leash, where they must

be on a leash and where they should not go, she said.

“The same old rules apply, nothing’s changed. People seem to think the whole park is a dog park but it’s not. The signs are just making this very clear.”

The council had not changed its policies or bylaws around dog exercise areas in the park, Donaldson said and the signs spell out very clearly that dogs can only run free along the creek on the park’s northern boundary and along a strip of land on its Farm Road edge.

“It makes it very clear that on the rest of the park they must be on a leash and they’re not allowed – even on a leash – on the sports fields. The signs we’ve put up simply clarify this.”

The council’s dog control bylaws make it clear that dogs are not allowed on any public playing surfaces or sports grounds, including Argyle Park.

Ashburton District on fast growth path

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

If Statistics New Zealand’s calculations are correct, the Ashburton District’s population could top 47,000 within 25 years.

Population predictions out to 2043 were released yesterday and show that Ashburton is on a path of steady population growth. Those predictions are made over three bands – high, medium and low growth.

From a base of 32,300 people in 2013 at its fastest rate of growth the district is anticipated to hit 40,000 in 2028 and 47,500 by 2043.

A medium growth rate would see the population at 37,800 by 2028 and 41,900 by 2043.

The growth chart also gives predictions for a low rate of growth, which would see the district well below 40,000 in 2028 with a population of just 36,300.

At the top growth rates, the Ashburton District’s rate of population growth would be exceeded only by Selwyn, with

both Ashburton and Christchurch city tipped to grow by 1.3 per cent over that 25 year period.

The low growth prediction across New Zealand, shows the population growth rate will slow in all regions, cities, districts (except Buller), and all areas will be home to more people aged 65 plus in 2043.

Deaths will increase relative to births in almost all areas as the population ages.

The medium projection indicates that 15 of New Zealand’s 16 regions will have more people in 2043 than in 2013, although 17 territorial authority areas will have fewer. Deaths will outnumber births in three-fifths of those areas by 2043.

Forty-seven local authority areas areas will have fewer children in 2043 than in 2013. More than half of New Zealand’s population growth between 2013 and 2043 will be in Auckland.

Auckland’s population will reach 2 million by 2033.

■■ELDER ABUSE AWARENESS

Raising elder abuse awareness

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

It’s the granddaughter who won’t pay rent, the adult son who yells and swears.

Raising awareness that this sort of thing is not okay is the focus of Elder Abuse Awareness this week.

Age Concern Ashburton chairwoman Trish Small and vice chairwoman Jan McClelland have put a display table of resources in The Arcade to June 21, and want people to come along and help themselves.

The town clock will be lit up purple from June 15 to 22 to highlight the week.

“One in 10 seniors will experience elder abuse, and 80 per cent is from family members, which is quite a horrible statistic when you think about it,” Small said.

Age Concern has the contract from the Ministry of Social Development to deliver elder abuse counselling. Queries coming into the Ashburton branch are referred through to Christchurch.

“We get a surprising number of enquiries and referrals, whether they (the alleged victim) want to take it further or not depends on the person, because many of them are very afraid of losing family contact,” Small said.

Most enquiries come from a concerned

family member or friend of the alleged victim.

“We listen to people’s concerns, offer to assess the situation, respect the wishes of the older person affected and always make sure the safety and wellbeing of the older person is the main consideration,” Small said.

“What that means in reality is working together with an aim to resolve concerns co-operatively.

“We aim to find ways to support older people to live safely, make their own decisions and be respected.”

Justice precinct possible for Ashburton

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When a new police station is built in Ashburton it could see the development of a justice precinct in Baring Square west.

While a major refurbishment or replacement of the existing Havelock Street police station is not planned until 2025/2026, minister of police Stuart Nash has confirmed that a preliminary inspection of the Ashburton District Council’s current headquarters had been undertaken by the police’s regional property manager.

“But it is yet to be determined whether this building will form part of ongoing options analysis,” Nash said.

An assessment of the existing building and potential future site or redevelopment options were, however, at a very preliminary stage, he said.

The police property manager had emailed the council last month, requesting a copy of existing plans and a condition assessment of the council building.

The building has been identified as a potential option for further consideration and analysis but no formal due diligence on this property has commenced, Nash said.

From the council’s perspective chief executive Hamish Riach said, it had been signalled to the community from the outset that the intention was to sell both the current civic building and library when staff relocated to the new civic centre in Baring Square East.

While that relocation was still three years away and no plans had been made for the sale of the two properties, it was positive to know the police had the council site on its radar, Riach said.

“There would be synergies for a justice precinct, it could work nicely, but we’re still in the very early days and we have no clear view around marketing. All I know is that the properties will be for sale.”

Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon obtained answers to the Guardian’s questions from the minister of police and said it made sense for police to take over the council site.

“Unfortunately, there have been cases in recent years of issues outside the courthouse and having a visible police presence next door would help lessen the potential for violent or abusive incidents to occur,” Falloon said.

He believes co-location would come with other benefits, with programmes such as restorative justice and neighbourhood support if police and the courthouse were located in one justice precinct rather than on the other side of town.

“It is vital that the new police station remains in the middle of town. A redeveloped council building provides that and offers a central location close to the state highway.”

The police had identified the council site as an option and it was important the government considered the wider benefits of having justice services run out of one site, Falloon said.

Firefighter Eamon Hooper will be presented with his gold star after serving 25 years with the Ashburton Fire Brigade.

Hooper brings up 25 years

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

The first time Eamon Hooper walked through the doors of the Ashburton Fire Station as a firefighter in March 1994 he never thought of any other option than a long service to Ashburton Fire Brigade, which has rung true as he prepares to celebrate 25 years of service.

Hooper will be presented with a gold star on June 29, making him the 14th currently serving firefighter to reach the milestone.

The desire to contribute to the community was what drew Hooper to becoming a firefighter.

“I knew a few guys in the brigade and I had tasted a bit of community service through scouts and rovers and wanted to continue doing a bit of community service,” he said.

“When I joined there were some very old and senior guys that were here and it was never in my mind that I would not make it to 25 years.”

It was a quiet start to life in the brigade for Hooper, who was unable to recall the first call-out he attended.

“It wasn’t very memorable, a few of the other guys who joined around the same time were called to a fire at a calf shed for their first one so that was probably a bit more memorable for them,” he said.

Like many other firefighters of his generation, the fires at the Flour Mill in 2011 and Seales Winslow in 2017 stick in the mind as the major fires he has fought in the district.

“I was also fighting the Port Hills fires the first night, we were training in Christchurch that day and were called up there before it all turned to custard,” he said.

“It was about 2am by the time we finally left and we ended up going back to help out with the dampening down a few days later.

“We also looked after Lyttelton the day after the earthquakes, so we got a see a few different things there.”

“We are large enough to have plenty of people that are born and bred in the district that stay here,” he said.

“A lot of the new guys come and go and are a bit more transient and the smaller places don’t

have the infrastructure to keep them for longer periods.”

The owner of his own business, Hooper said it can be a challenge to balance work commitments and firefighting.

“At times it can be a bit challenging, it can be hard to get away for daytime calls but ones on nights and weekends I always attend,” he said.

“It can impact on family as well.

“I wouldn’t say I’ve missed any Christmas lunches but there have been a couple I’ve had to dash away from that I’ve been able to get back to as they were minor incidents.”

Despite the challenges that come with being a firefighter, Hooper recommended that anyone considering giving it a go, should.

“It is a good social and community environment,” he said.

“A lot of people do struggle with the amount of time, some service groups only meet once a month and do one project a month while we are doing something every Wednesday night and the call-outs, but it is worth it.”

Superb harmonies at festival Thursday was the second night of the annual Heartland Bank Schools’ Music Festival. This saw students with a passion for singing and performance, take to the stage for a night of tuneful, en masse singing.

As always, the festival, at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre, made for an enjoyable and professional experience.

The night began with Kerrin Corcoran conducting the massed choir with a lovely version of our National Anthem. Melanie Sloan then conducted the students in the opening three songs, Wonderful Life, I’m Still Standing and A Million Dreams. These songs were catchy and toe-tapping, with the last song clearly a choral favourite.

The first school to perform was Netherby.

Conductor Melanie Oakley led her students in performing Nga iwi e and On The Turning Table. The enthusiasm the students had while singing a song that acknowledged our Maori heritage was delightful to see.

Following on from this was Allenton School.

Led by Kerrin Corcoran and accompanied

by Fiona Maw, Beauty in the World was sung tunefully and Kalipoli Na was a lovely nod to our shared Tongan culture, with some students donning Tongan traditional clothing.

Up next was choir conductor Michaela George and Mt Somers Springburn School.

From this small group there was a great sound and they all looked to be enjoying the groovy choreography in songs Somewhere Only We Know and You’re Welcome from the movie Moana.

Wakanui School was conducted and accompanied on the guitar by Cherie Livingstone.

Cecilia and I’m A Believer was beautifully sung and with great energy. I enjoyed seeing the students getting involved with percussion instruments adding to the performance.

The massed choir returned under the guidance of Kerrin Corcoran singing crowd favourite Wagon Wheel, One Call Away and Homework Blues. For having approximate-

Selling prices might be on an even keel, but the number of homes sold in the Ashburton District in May dropped significantly.

The median sales price for the month was $340,000, the same as April, but the good news was that it was up $8000 on the May median in 2018.

During the month only 40 houses were sold, down from 54 in April and 55 in May last year, a drop of more than 25 per cent. The Ashburton District was one of just two in Canterbury

Ashburton Intermediate B followed, conducted by Jo Castelow. Hold Back the River was sung beautifully with subtle harmonies. Release My Love is a song written by Ali Harper in acknowledgment to the recent Christchurch tragedy, this song was opened by four talented soloists, with the rest of the choir backing them up soulfully.

Fiona Cameron conducted the Tinwald choir, accompanied by Peter Livingstone. The choir sung Pokarekare Ana and Irish Music, both songs were vocally great.

I enjoyed seeing smiling faces on stage.

The representative choir was made up of selected students from all performing schools and was under the musical direction of Elaine Vallender. Green Eggs and Ham, Hakuna

Matata and Castle On A Cloud were all songs from musicals, sung with spine-tingling harmonies and featured talented soloists Temprance Adamson, Tazman McCartney and Olivia Fox. We then had a guest appearance from Mount Hutt College. Voices of Children and A Quiet Sanctus were sung with superb harmonies and were under the management of Kath Woodley.

The evening wound up with the massed choir singing Reach, Choo Choo Ch’Boogie and Dare to Dream with conductor Anna Lischner.

It amazed me to sit and listen to the talent we have here in Mid Canterbury and be grateful for the opportunities we can continue to give our students. A fantastic night had by all, and one which each and every student should be incredibly proud of!

Sale numbers down but prices steady

By Sue Newman

In brief

where volumes declined. Days to sell was higher than the 10 year median for May. More than 40 urban sales consultants are working across the district, indicating there would be some who went without a pay packet last month.

Canterbury’s median sales price is now $445,000 with REINZ chief executive Bindi Norwell describing the Canterbury market as steady with sales volumes rising.

She described the prices sellers were achieving as ‘fair,’ with multiple offers not uncommon for lower priced homes.

“Buyers who have their finances organised are doing well at deadline sales,” she said.

The quieter market meant more people were waiting to see what happened, particularly at the top end.

Some vendor expectations were higher than where the market was currently sitting and that meant sellers were needing to adjust their expectations or be prepared to sit it out until there was a slight lift, Norwell said.

The median number of days it took to sell a home was up three days on the same time last year.

An initial investigation is about to start to determine options for a future water servicing project for the north west part of Ashburton.

This covers and area of 40.6 hectares bordered by Farm, Racecourse and Allens roads and Mill Creek. The area is zoned residential C.

Maronan Road bridge A handrail on the downstream side of this bridge has been replace and Ashburton District Council staff are investigation the option of installing side barrier protection on the bridge.

Town centre upgrade Design work on Ashburton’s town centre upgrade will be completed by the end of July and time frames for this work will then be developed. Contracts for this work, which wil include underground services including water, sewers, stormwater, fibre and power will then be put to tender with work anticipated to start at the end of this year. Business owners in the area will be kept up to date with work progress from design to physical works.

Cycling, walking strategy Rather than upgrading its existing cycling and walking strategy, The Ashburton District Council, will over the next few months write a new strategy for the district to ensure it provides maximum opportunities for residents to walk and cycle in safety around Ashburton.

Picturesque walk the perfect distance

orry for Mid Canty

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

You can’t beat a bit of fresh air and sunshine on a winter’s day, especially if it’s on the shores of a beautiful lake.

More walkers and cyclists than ever are finding this out on the six-kilometre Lake Hood Walkway, which has recently had the end of it extended in seal.

Huntingdon Park Property Owners’ Association chairman Peter George said it was fantastic to see the last segment added to the project which had been taking shape over the years.

The association and the Lake Hood Management Committee had help from the major contributor, the Lion Foundation, as well as the Hinds Lions, Walter van der Kley and the Ashburton District Council.

Roger Paterson, of the Lion Foundation, said the walkway was used by many Mid Cantabrians.

“It’s a community asset and a long-term community asset,” Paterson said.

Bryan Donaldson, of the Lake Hood Management Committee, said the walkway’s origins went back to the day the lake was created.

“People started walking around it and they wore a track in the grass.”

Sealing the whole walkway had ultimately cost more than $100,000.

All the effort put in over the years is appreciated by the thousands who take to the paved path around the lake each year.

Among them are Jenna Collins, who gets out with her three-year-old daughter Ava just about every day. Accompanying her most days is friend Amber Kohalmi and two-year-old son Evan.

The pair travel to the lake from their homes in the surrounding Willowby area.

They said they liked the walk because it was picturesque and the perfect distance.

■■RESOURCE RECOVERY PARK

Resource park goes from tatty to tidy

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Technology was harnessed this week to provide before and after images of Ashburton’s resource recovery park.

Using a drone, Ashburton District Council waste recovery manger Craig Goodwin showed district councillors, at Thursday’s service delivery meeting, the significant work that had been carried out at the park over the past year.

The images showed very clearly that the park today is a slick, clean and finely tuned business.

Gone are the mud and puddles that had been part of the park. These had been replaced by hard surfaces, new buildings and recycling areas with work continuing on creating a new greenwaste area.

The centre’s recycling area is now three-laned and under cover.

“It’s much more user-friendly and when you’re producing product for the market it is important it’s a quality product that it has no mud or gravel with it,” he said.

The new look park has a range of storage areas and one that is currently under pressure is for soft, low grade plastics.

“These are harder to get rid of at the moment so we’re just storing them up,” Goodwin said.

Nationally, and in Canterbury, there were a number of fledgling projects that could use this material and Goodwin said he would be watching those with interest.

One area where work would be needed in the future was the pit where rubbish was off-loaded. That area, Goodwin said, is badly affected by wind and at times that sees the tip-face closed.

“Eventually we’ll need to make a decision whether we continue to receive rubbish and sort it or do we cover the tipface and carry on as we are,” he said.

The compacter used in that area was nearing the end of its life and its replacement would need to be part of the council’s future planning, Goodwin said.

The introduction of wheelie bins had boosted the amount of recyclables coming into the park, currently up by 30 per cent, but the amount of material being transported to Kate Valley had also risen.

It was now at 12,000 tonnes a year, but the quantity had started to level off, he said.

■■CHRISTCHURCH MOSQUE SHOOTINGS

Not guilty plea raises gasps NZME Brenton Tarrant yesterday denied being the Christchurch mosque terror attacker and will stand trial in May next year.

The 28-year-old Australian national entered not guilty pleas during a short appearance at the High Court at Christchurch yesterday.

Tarrant gave a slight smile when not guilty pleas were entered through his lawyer.

Wearing a grey sweatshirt and straining to hear discussions, he was not in the courtroom but instead appeared via audio visual link from Paremoremo Prison in Auckland.

He constantly looked around during the hearing. Several cameras would have shown to him the courtroom, judge and lawyers but not the public gallery.

He also appeared to be flexing or stretching his neck at times.

The courtroom was filled with victims – survivors and family members of the 51 killed during the March 15 attack at two Christchurch mosques – with many more watching from two overflow rooms inside the court-

Abdul Aziz: “We are getting there slowly. But it will take time.” house via audio visual link.

They reacted with gasps when the not guilty pleas were entered.

All of the victims kept their eyes glued to the alleged gunman throughout the hearing. Many were visibly upset. One woman hugged a cuddly toy.

A trial date of May 4 was confirmed by Justice Cameron Mander. The Crown believes the trial could last around six weeks. Defence counsel Shane Tait believes it could take up to three months.

The accused was remanded in custody to a case review hearing

on August 16 at 9.15am.

Christchurch Crown Solicitor Mark Zarifeh formally laid another murder charge, two additional attempted murder charges, and a charge under the Terrorism Suppression Act 2002.

The accused gunman now faces a total of 51 murder charges and 40 attempted murder charges – along with the terrorism charge.

Justice Mander said the court had received two health assessors’ reports that were ordered at the last court hearing under section 38 of the Mental Health Act to

determine whether the defendant was mentally fit or impaired and whether he is mentally able to enter pleas to the charges.

The judge confirmed yesterday: “No issues arise regarding the defendant’s fitness to plead, to instruct counsel and to stand trial.

Therefore a fitness hearing is not required.”

Justice Mander said “the scale and complexity of this case makes this challenging”.

“In the interests of providing certainty and to avoid the possibility of an overly optimistic trial date having to be vacated and the trial adjourned, it has been set down to commence on May 4, 2020,” he said.

“Despite the magnitude of this case, the setting down of a trial within a 14-month timeframe from Mr Tarrant’s arrest accords with the ordinary timetabling of a trial of far less complexity and scale.”

Suppression lifted yesterday on the names of the attempted murder victims, the judge confirmed.

The Crown confirmed that, after inquiries, they did not seek a continuation of the suppression order.

However, three victims under the age of 18 have statutory suppression.

Suppression was also lifted on the name of the 51st person to die from the attacks – Turkish national Zekeriah Tuyan who died at Christchurch Hospital.

Several family members and survivors of the mosque shootings were in court yesterday.

Before the hearing, Abdul Aziz, widely hailed as a hero for confronting the alleged gunman and chasing him away from Linwood Islamic Centre where seven people were killed, wanted to see the accused in court.

“We are getting there slowly.

But it will take time. Days like today bring it all back.”

After yesterday’s proceedings, he said “it was very hard”, but vowed to attend every court hearing and the trial next May. Linwood Mosque Imam Alabi Lateef Zirullah went to court yesterdday to see the man accused of killing seven of his congregation.

It was important that he was there, he said, but it has left him “feeling nothing”.

His community was still emotional, hurting and raw.

Jasper, thanks for the me I

n April of 2005, I responded to a For Sale ad in a newspaper classifieds’ column for labrador crosses. I had been thinking of getting a dog for some time, as a companion for myself and my two children. The breed sounded perfect, and the price was good as well – each puppy a bargain at $60 each.

It was some distance to drive, about two hours to a high country station down south.

But I figured I could do this while the kids were at school, and long-time family friend Ted was keen to accompany me. So I worked out a day that suited the farmer owner of the dogs, and very soon Ted and I were off on an exciting mission to get a new pet.

Arriving at our destination, we found ourselves in an expansive farm yard framed by the magnificence of the Southern Alps. The farmer introduced us to a golden labrador named Bob, who promptly rolled onto his back. This was the puppy’s dad, and as I scratched this old dog’s chest, the farmer filled us in on his lovely nature and loyal character.

Soon after we met the mum, a labrador/blue heeler/huntaway cross, and then the puppies.

They were snuggled away from the coldness of the crisp autumn day in a fenced-off area with shelter and bedding. They had striking colourings, mostly all being a mixture of white, tan and black.

There was, however, one monotone one, which was completely black. It turned out this was the only one of the litter left for sale, with all the others having been sold. Ted and I decided this was the cutest one anyway, and picking him up, I found him cuddly and affectionate. So it was a done deal, sealed with a kiss when he licked my face.

Getting this new wiggly little creature home later that day, the kids found him just as loveable, and we gave him the name Jasper. It fitted perfectly for a dog with a coat so dark and shiny it was almost blue, not to mention being as soft as velvet.

Alas it was not long before the

Jasper the black Labrador went from cute and cuddly, to wreaking havoc upon his new home and family. Guardian reporter Susan Sandys reports honeymoon phase was over, and the reality of life with a labrador set in. He grew quickly while retaining all the juvenile canine traits puppies are renowned for, such as chewing and ruining just about everything, and joyously jumping up on people.

The state of the house and my sanity suffered, but I was a single mum with a seven-yearold daughter and ten-year-old son, so it was nothing I was not accustomed to. And I guess I was quite philosophical about it all – while the chaos and disorder had multiplied a million times, so had the fun and happiness.

Jasper proved to have high energy levels, so for him and the kids it was a match made in heaven. They and their friends loved playing chase, with lots of running, leaping and tackling, generally with me providing the occasional staccato alarm call in the background about not damaging any of the game’s obstacles, such as the coffee table and couches.

Another favourite game was tug of war and play fighting.

Jasper could put on a good act and snap, bark, pretend-growl and curl back his lips, all with a crazy stare, looking like he was the most ferocious dog in the world.

Anyone who did not know dogs well would probably not know the difference between play-ferocious and real-ferocious, but the kids did, and they had some of the best times ever in these play fights.

It would not be an exaggeration to say Jasper’s ability to wreak havoc became legendary.

When he got to about one year old, I received correspondence from my insurance company regarding the claims I had made on his behalf. The letter informed me of an update in my policy, officially described with the statement – “We will no longer cover any damage done by a dog”.

I should not have been surprised, as I had recently been paid out for my third claim.

The first two were for repairing broken glass in the laundry door, caused by Jasper bursting through the cat door not realising he had become too big for it. The most recent one was for getting scratches varnished out of the top of the dining table, which Jasper had climbed upon to steal freshly-baked muffins.

One memorable incident was when my daughter Brooke brought home a brand new hardback from the Methven

happened, and requesting to be informed of the cost of replacement.

Brooke was mortified to have to take both the book in its punctured state and the note the next day to her teacher. The teacher did not say much at the time, but later that day read the note to her class, showing pupils Exhibit A, the book, and having a giggle as she did. We waited for the bill to arrive, but it never did; perhaps the teacher had just been happy to have a laugh in her day.

Another time my son Francis

There was never any shortage of playful fun with Jasper around (from left) Susan, Francis and Brooke Sandys.

Primary School library. When we returned home after being out one evening, we were horrified to see its cover and binding chewed, resulting in the book more or less being destroyed. We could not believe it, and were devastated.

The book was Lemony Snickett’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, a title which seemed very apt in my life at that moment. I carefully wrote a note to the teacher, explaining what had

had a school project on seeds and grains for which he had to source numerous samples, and display them with information attached to a large piece of cardboard. The finished product was visually pleasing, and I had been particularly proud to see such commitment from a boy who generally avoided homework.

Jasper was equally impressed, as we found out upon discovering it the night before it had to be handed in. It appeared he

had found the cardboard just as delicious as the seeds and grains, as the whole project was in shreds.

Once again we were devastated, but Francis could see the funny side the next day when he was able to truthfully deliver the classic line of “The dog ate my homework” to his teacher.

Another time Jasper chewed into a small bottle of steroid medication that Francis had for his asthma. He seemed quite energetic after this and it gave me to wonder if it may be the early signs of roid rage. But thankfully as I examined the bottle, I found it had not been bitten right through.

He liked chewing new things, and the long list of damaged toys included a Furby. This went from cute and cuddly to resembling something from a horror movie, with its face half ripped off showing the mechanical parts underneath.

One time Brooke held a funeral for one of her dolls he had “killed”, with all her other toys in attendance. I guess it was a process which helped her deal with the loss. We would always try and put things out of his reach, but away in the bedrooms was not good enough as he worked out how to open these doors.

As Jasper became an adult dog he settled down a bit, and seemed to develop a conscience as he hated getting into trouble.

Pointing at the remains of the latest thing he had chewed, with the enquiry “What happened to this?” would result in a very dark expression coming over him and it was obvious he was going through horrendous inner turmoil. In this state he would skulk away with his eyes diverted and his head hanging low.

He would approach me later to try and make up, nuzzling up under my hand, telling me that now was the time to forgive him and give him a pat. Just how long it would take for this reconciliation to happen would depend on how bad the transgression was.

Jasper’s energy levels and propensity to get into trouble were matched by the level of affection he gave.

emories He was a great companion and some of the most wonderful moments of my life were relaxing with him and our other pets at night by the warmth of the log-burner. He would always wait for me to sit down after my busy day, and know this was the time to come and say hello and snuggle beside me.

He would talk to me at this time with a deep throaty murmur and snuffle into my hair or clothes, communicating in some wordless love language his comfort and contentment.

Jasper had his own bed, but also had a secret hideaway sleeping spot at the end of Francis’ bed, under the duvet. It was the favourite sleeping arrangement for both human and dog during the cold winter nights, and my battle to get Jasper to sleep on his own bed was one I lost again and again.

I had an idea in my mind that Jasper would one-day turn into a frumpy rotund labrador, flopping down at everyone’s feet, looking up at them with a docile and loving gaze, his eyes blinking in the sunshine. But he never lost his taut and trim shape and high energy levels.

He had a penchant for barking at people through windows, fences and doors, and was consequently a good watch dog. In later life he developed a suspicion of other dogs, and I had to have him on the lead at all times when I was walking in public areas, because he would end up fighting with them otherwise.

He also hated vets, and I had to muzzle him for all these visits.

If a small dog snaps at a vet it can be seen as comical, but when a large dog does it, there is nothing funny about it.

Jasper turned 14 in February and seemed to be doing well, although I had noticed over the past year or so he had lost a lot of strength in his legs and had developed a cough. By now, time had moved on. It was a long way from that day in 2005 when I took a trip into the high country to buy a puppy.

Ted had passed away, the kids had grown up, I had a new partner. Jasper had been enjoying his

retirement years, continuing to do his big walks in the Mid Canterbury countryside, and getting regular visits from Francis and Brooke. But there was no getting away from the fact he was gradually declining, and in April things got a lot worse, when he could not walk far without falling over. He also got to where he couldn’t eat solid food, requiring me to mash up his biscuits and dog roll with milk.

It was becoming a day-by-day emotional roller-coaster, as I faced the reality that we were about to lose this larger-thanlife character from our family.

On Easter Saturday I realised he would not see out the whole Easter period, so booked him into a vet clinic which was being held that day.

A very understanding Steve Williams came out to the car, outside his Ashburton practice, and talked to me as I sat with Jasper in the rear of my hatchback. He told me Jasper’s degenerative condition had a very simple cause. “He’s just old,” he said.

Jasper was not aware this kind man talking to us and giving him a pat was actually an evil vet, and as it turned out, never was to know this. Thanks to Steve’s professionalism and caring nature, the whole process went incredibly well.

Jasper and I could have many special cuddles before he went into a deep slumber where ultimately his heart stopped beating.

I had him cremated and now his ashes sit near framed family photos in the lounge-room.

Those ashes will be scattered in a special place yet to be decided, by myself and Francis and Brooke the next time they are both home together.

Every now and again I wipe away tears as I realise how much I miss Jasper. He certainly fulfilled the promise of everything I expected him to be when I met his parents and picked him up for that first cuddle all those years ago. He was such a beautiful dog and a connecting force in our family, both through the good times, and the challenges.

Jasper the black Labrador.

Footing it with the best He made a name for himself as a long distance runner here, but soon Taonga Mbambo will be footing it with some of America’s best.

Erin Tasker reports.

W

hen it came to deciding where in the world athletics would take him next, Taonga Mbambo was spoiled for choice.

The 18-year-old former Ashburton College student – who has made a name for himself as both a long distance and cross-country runner – had four American universities approach him, wanting him on their athletics teams.

But one stood out above the rest, and that was La Salle University in Philadelphia, and in a couple of months Mbambo will pack his bags and board a plane bound for America, and the university that he will call home for the next four years, God willing.

La Salle is a private Christian university which was founded in 1863, and it is a National College Athletic Association (NCAA) division one school – the highest level of inter-collegiate athletics in the USA. When Mbambo was in Denmark for the IAAF World Cross Country Championships last year, La Salle’s athletics coach approached Mbambo and spoke to him, and it was that personal contact which led to him deciding on La Salle as the place he wanted to study and compete out of.

La Salle offered Mbambo an academic and athletics scholarship which will start in August, and as the days tick down, Mbambo is a mixture of nerves and excitement.

It is hard to believe how far he had come in such a short time.

Mbambo’s running career only started a couple of years ago, when he decided that after years of playing football he wanted a change.

He started running, and while he wouldn’t call himself a natural, found he loved it.

“It’s been a fun road, but it’s also been a long road,” Mbambo said.

Giving up football, which he loved, had been hard but it is a decision that he doesn’t regret.

He’d played football since he and his family moved to New Zealand from their native Zambia 11 years ago, when he was just seven years old. The family lived in Dunedin for the first seven years and moved to Ashburton four years ago.

Pretty much all Mbambo remembered, was life in New Zealand. He has few memories of life in Zambia, and leaving all he knew behind was daunting, but

Taonga Mbambo is off to university in America on an athletics scholarship. the move to America was something he knew he had to do.

It is a goal he’s had for a long time, and now that the dream is about to become a reality he is determined to live it, and make the most of every opportunity that comes his way.

“It’s like passing a test I already knew I was going to pass,” Mbambo said.

Although he’ll be living on the other side of the world, Mbambo still wants to represent New Zealand if selected for future cross-country and long distance track events, which would be his specialty at La Salle. He’ll run cross-country in the fall and winter, before moving to the track – both indoors and outdoors – over summer.

When it comes to his studies, Mbambo hopes to study business management or sports psychology, and maybe even do a double major. While he wants to go as far as he can with his running, he also knew the importance of an education.

Ideally, the Mbambos had been looking for a smaller university in a smaller city, so that Mbambo didn’t get lost in the crowd academically. They got half of what they were looking for.

La Salle is a smaller university, with only around 4000 undergrad students, but it is in a big city.

It has proven to be the perfect fit for the family, though.

Mbambo has put in the hard yards over the years, and at La Salle he’ll only go from strength to strength, literally. There will be so many opportunities to race, and the kinds of facilities many could only dream about at his disposal.

Until he leaves, he will continue to go to Timaru every week to train with his coach Craig Motley, who Mbambo said he was grateful to for everything he’d done to enhance his talent, to ensure he hits the ground running when he arrives in the US. Mbambo said he is also grateful to the wider Ashburton community for the support and encouragement he’s received over the years, and particularly those from the St David’s Church community.

His mantra is ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’, from Philippians 4:13, and Mbambo’s father Henry – the minister at St David’s – is confident that his upbringing would set him in good stead for the future.

Taonga Mbambo in action.

■■UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

US blames Iran for attack AP The US blamed Iran for suspected attacks on two oil tankers near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, denouncing what it called a campaign of “escalating tensions” in a region crucial to global energy supplies.

The US Navy rushed to assist the stricken vessels in the Gulf of Oman off the coast of Iran, including one that was set ablaze.

The ships’ operators offered no immediate explanation on who or what caused the damage against the Norwegian-owned MT Front Altair and the Japanese-owned Kokuka Courageous.

Each was loaded with petroleum products, and the Front Altair burned for hours, sending up a column of thick, black smoke.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US assessment of Iran’s involvement was based in part on intelligence, as well as the expertise needed for the operation.

It was also based on recent incidents in the region that the US also blamed on Iran, including the use of limpet mines – designed to be attached magnetically to a ship’s hull – to attack four oil tankers off the nearby Emirati port of Fujairah and the bombing of an oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia

The X-Men: Dark Phoenix star, who got engaged to art gallery director Cooke Maroney in February, didn’t think she wanted to have a bachelorette party but then had a lastminute change of heart. “Yesterday was my only bridezilla moment where I cried,” she said. “I thought I didn’t want to have a bachelorette party and then last minute I decided I did and nobody was available because it was so last minute, and then I started crying.”

An oil tanker is on fire in the sea of Oman. Two oil tankers near the Strait of Hormuz were reportedly attacked.

“Taken as a whole, these unprovoked attacks present a clear threat to international peace and security, a blatant assault on the freedom of navigation and an unacceptable campaign of escalating tension by Iran,” Pompeo said.

He provided no evidence, gave no specifics about any plans and took no questions.

At the United Nations, the United States asked for closed

Security Council consultations on the tanker incidents.

Iran’s UN Mission said the government “categorically rejects” the US claim that it was responsible for the attacks and condemned it “in the strongest possible terms”.

A statement from the mission said Iran “stands ready to play an active and constructive role in ensuring the security of strategic maritime passages”. It warned of “US

coercion, intimidation and malign behaviour” and expressed concern “over suspicious incidents” involving the two tankers.

Iran denied being involved in the attacks last month and its foreign minister questioned the timing of the latest incidents, given that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was meeting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran.

■■HONG KONG

Prospect of new protest looms large AP Hong Kong authorities are bracing for more protests by demonstrators trying to prevent Beijing-appointed Chief Executive Carrie Lam from pushing through a bill that would allow suspects from the territory to be tried in mainland Chinese courts.

As of Friday afternoon, nearly 30,000 people had signed a petition protesting the use of force by police during violent clashes with protesters earlier in the week.

The busy downtown area was calm yesterday morning after days of protests by students and human right activists. But a demonstration by a group of mothers angry with police use of rubber bullets, batons and other forceful measures was expected last evening. Still more protests were planned for tomorrow and Monday.

Demonstrators have said they remain committed to preventing the government from enacting amendments they see as eroding the legal autonomy Hong Kong retained when Britain ended

Police officers pass by words formed with tape which read “Protect our city, against extradition to China” near the Legislative Council in Hong Kong.

Traffic flowed on major thoroughfares that had been closed after a protest by hundreds of thousands of people on Sunday, challenging Lam’s two-year-old government.

Protesters had kept up a presence through Thursday night, singing hymns and holding up signs criticising the police for their handling of the demonstrations.

The clashes on Wednesday

drew tens of thousands of mostly young residents and forced the legislature to postpone debate on the bill.

Police said they arrested 11 people on charges such as assaulting police officers and unlawful assembly. Police Commissioner Stephen Lo Wai-chung said 22 officers had been injured in the fracas and hospitals said they had treated 81 people for protest-related injuries.

Signs were posted on the walls of a pedestrian bridge

near the city’s government headquarters, including photocopies of the famed Associated Press “Tank Man” picture that became a symbol of resistance to China’s bloody suppression of student-led pro-democracy protests centered on Beijing’s Tiananmen Square in 1989.

Other signs criticised the police for their use of force in fighting back against protesters.

The debris-strewn area around the building, which houses the Legislative Council, was blocked off by police while sanitation workers gathered rubbish and police officers checked identity cards before letting people into the area.

The standoff between police and protesters is Hong Kong’s most severe political crisis since the Communist Party-ruled mainland took control in 1997 with a promise not to interfere with the city’s civil liberties and courts.

It is unclear how the local leadership might defuse the crisis, given Beijing’s strong support for the extradition bill and its distaste for dissent.

King wrote it as a direct sequel to his 1977 novel.

Methven ain’t no one-trick pony Nestled at the bottom of the Southern Alps, looked over by the majestic Mt Hutt, you’ll find a small township abuzz during the winter months and then in an almost sleep-like state during the warmer days.

Best known as a tourist destination in the winter, thanks in large to the huge popular skifield less than an hour’s drive from the town centre, Methven is one of the places you get the real New Zealand from the moment you drive in through one of the town’s main access routes.

It’s petite, nowhere near antiquated and full of friendly, down-to-earth, quintessential Kiwi folk who are friendly, warm and inviting.

Perhaps it’s the fact that they open their doors to the world each year for around five months and allow the population of the town to stretch to more than double its normal size when Mt Hutt is open for

business, or it could be the fact that this small town on the edge of the Main Divide is just one of those places where you can go and automatically feel like you’re at home.

“

There’s also walking, cycling, archery, clay bird shooting, Lord of the Rings site tours, 4WD touring, jetboating, fishing, hunting and horse trekking along the incredible Rakaia River.

Methven was founded in 1869 by Robert Patton, he bought land and named it Methven after his hometown of Methven in Scotland

With more than a dozen cafes, restaurants and other eating establishments, there’s something for everyone and while the mountain plays the pivotal role in bringing people into the area, the town is not limited to being a one trick pony.

Methven was founded in 1869 by Robert Patton, he bought land and named it Methven after his hometown of Methven in Scotland. When the first settlers arrived, Methven was situated on an open tussock covered plain exposed to the elements.

Maori settlers dubbed the town, Pi-

wakawaka after the famous New Zealand fantail.

It’s the home of Rajah, New Zealand’s first police dog, his statue sitting proudly on the doorstep of the Mt Hutt War Memorial Hall, staking his claim as one of the most popular identities in the town’s history.

Inside the walls of that very building sits the perfect experience for people to understand the strong rural background of the district as well as the mountain experience in the New Zealand Alpine and Agricultural Encounter.

With the promise of exciting things on the horizon, such as the development of hot pools on the town’s boundary, there’s an exciting future ahead for the little town at the bottom of the mountain and with the prospect of a year-round reason to visit the area, things are only going to get better.

Take a walk around Methven The Methven Walkway opened in 1979, is 11 kilometres long, and is intersected by various country roads so that it is possible to arrange transport to avoid retracing one’s steps.

The most basic feature of the walkway is the man-made Rangitata Diversion Canal, a dual purpose irrigation and hydro-electric channel carrying water from the Rangitata River to the Highbank Power Station on the south bank of the Rakaia River.

Although shelter belts, drains, roads and bridges impinge on the immediate surroundings the walkway is given a certain grandeur by the natural panoramic backdrop of the Southern Alps.

The walk, from beginning, takes three to three and a half hours and begins at the Methven i-SITE Visitor Centre.

Those taking on the walk make their way down Chertsey Road to the Methven Cemetery, through the iron walk gate and then onto the A&P Association Showgrounds, walking through the ground’s central trees and then diagonally through to Barkers Road.

From there it’s down the grass track verge on the outskirts of Methven where the walkway enters a drain reserve planted with evergreen exotic trees.

Across Mt Hutt Station road the path passes by the Methven Racecourse. Walkers cross the drain twice via footbridges before reaching the Rangitata Diversion Canal which offers sublime unobstructed views of the neighbouring mountains.

The bank of the diversion canal follows all the way to the end of the walkway beside the northern branch of the Ashburton River.

Being on the plain the walkway is virtually on level ground and out in the open apart from the stretch within the drain reserve, although groups of trees have been planted along the canal and clumps of toi-toi soften the line of the banks.

Along the way the route offers the chance for observation of many animals, in particular ducks, especially Canada geese and paradise ducks which frequent the waterway areas.

As well as the ovious view of Mt Hutt, those using the walk are also treated to stunning views of Mt Taylor Range, the Pudding Hill Range, Mt Winterslow and Mt Somers.

Midway to the Ashburton River Road bridge, the walkway crosses to the opposite bank of the canal before entering the pinic area at the river where the walkway ends.

The walkway is sponsored by the local Methven Lions Club.

As well as a keen path for walkers and runners, the walkway is a popular attraction for mountain bikers.

Reconnecting with the community Two months into their tenure at the helm of the Methven Resort, new owners Olé and Bruce Wallis have only just begun to scratch the surface of what they hope to achieve with the long-standing Methven business.

While they are aware there’s a lot of work to be done to convince the Methven community that the venue is up and running at full steam ahead, the pair are putting all their energy into pointing the attention toward their restaurant and bar, as well as trying to ensure that the massive complex is an all-year round spot for people to enjoy.

The restaurant, known as Sojourn and the bar, Wayfarer, have been operational for a few weeks now and the feedback from the locals who have ventured in the door has been fantastic.

“There’s no hiding from the fact that this place has been under-utilised for too long now,” Olé said.

“Our goal is to reconnect the place with the local community and show them that this is more than just an accommodation venue, but also a place to come and enjoy a nice meal and have a quiet drink.”

Like any facility offering food to customers, so much of the success hinges firmly on the success of the kitchen and the Methven Resort team feel they’ve got the right person for the job in head chef Rosella Mijs.

From South Africa, but with a mix of Italian and German influence, Mjis has created a menu that both intrigues and amazes with a surprising twist of Asian flavours mixed in between.

“She’s a very talented chef, and understands what we are trying to achieve here, which is critical to our success.”

Olé is determined to ensure that what his business is offering to the people, and visitors, of Methven didn’t undermine anything that was already being done around the town.

Having that point of difference was hugely critical for him.

“We can all be doing the same thing and somewhere along the way someone is going to lose out, it’s about creating something that makes us a choice, as opposed to just being an option.

“Yes, we are an accommodation venue, but we are very aware that we need to keep the two quite separate if we want them to succeed.”

The Methven Resort is offering dining options to the public for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week with a wide-ranging menu on offer throughout the day.

With the option of sitting on the north facing balcony, diners get the option of enjoying their meal with one of the best views in the township as the balcony faces directly towards Mt Hutt.

Breakfast is served from 6.30am to 9.30am, lunch from 11.30am until 2pm and dinner from 5pm until late.

With a restaurant that can seat 100 people, there’s plenty of room available.

While operating under the premise of a bar, Wayfarer is being marketed as more of a place to enjoy a quiet drink after work, or for a group to get together and enjoy a few drinks and one of the platters that the kitchen offers.

“We will welcome anyone along, but the goal is to try and make the bar a bit more relaxed, a nice spot to bring a client, or a few friends along for a drink or two at the end of the day as opposed to a fully functional bar with music and everything else.”

With new owners, a new outlook and an already proven model including the 47 room, full service hotel with outdoor swimming pool and hot pools as well as function and conference rooms, there are exciting times ahead for the team at the Methven Resort.

Serving goodness with a smile As they approach their three year anniversary, the team at The Pantry in Methven are constantly looking to evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of the public they provide for.

And in a town like Methven, that can often mean straying away from the normal and doing something completely out there, that no one else has even thought of.

The business, which has become a mainstay on the Main Street, officially turns three next month and the focus for Victoria Totty and her team is firmly on being more than just your normal run-ofthe-mill coffee and food venue and working to the demands of the busy network of clients who roll in the door each day.

The Pantry’s philosophy is simple good food, which automatically catches your eyes as you walk in the door and equally as good coffee.

Oh, and service with a smile.

Where they saw their key market coming from was those in the search of a takeaway coffee, as opposed to sitting down in the premises so most of their customers are on the go, whether it’s grabbing a drink and, or, something to eat on the run.

There is still of course the option of sitting down and taking a load off for a while too for those in a slightly more relaxed manner.

“Probably 80-90 per cent of our customers are looking for takeaway coffee,” Totty said.

“It seems to work well, they want their coffee on the go and their food heated and ready to walk out the door with them.”

With a wide ranging array of food, treats and quick snacks, there’s plenty for everyone – but it’s their make your own sandwich option which really draws the crowds in.

Customers have the option of designing their own sandwich, made with love and done at a reasonable price and Totty said it’s been really well received.

With the ability to create something to eat to their own liking, customers are enjoying the opportunity to have a say what’s going in between their two slices of bread as opposed to heading into the unknown.

“People seem to really love that option, just the chance to have what they want and it’s great to be able to chuck it in the lunchbox and take away for the day, or up the mountain.

“It also gives us the option of being able to meet people’s dietary needs such as those who are gluten free and the like.”

A new feature to the business recently is a feature wall, incidentally full of coffee mugs.

Known as the Mug Wall the feature gives customers the option of choosing to take their drink in a fully-fledged cup as opposed to the more traditional recyclable version.

The mugs can be taken away from the store, with a name and number given and then returned later in the day or once their

contents have been finished.

“I was looking at new ideas on Instagram, as you do, one day and came across it, it seemed to work really well and I liked the idea of it so we’ve tried it out.

“We’ve already got people who like to have a specific mug, but we’ve had to introduce getting a name and number as there were a few that weren’t coming back to us.

“But everyone seems to really enjoy it as

an option, especially the businesses that are around us.”

With the three-year mark set to be reached next month, what the next big plan for The Pantry might be is yet to be seen, but Totty just wants to keep serving a purpose to the Methven community.

The Pantry is open seven days a week from 6.30am until 2pm.

The best is yet to come ...

While there’s already a near perfect blueprint sitting there to make Methven a successful town in the Ashburton District, future developments look set to take things to a whole new level.

With a hard working group of locals chipping away in the background to make one of the more focused points of the township The Mall, more vibrant, the big news might be on the outskirts of town with the development of a hot pools complex getting closer to being under way every day.

While developers are not committing to a set opening date as they aim to raise enough money to fund the project, The Government’s Provincial Growth Fund (PGF) loaned $7.5 million in February, boosting both developers’ coffers and the town’s morale.

But while an opening set for winter next year was reported at the time, now the provisional plan is to open in December next year.

The $15 million hot pools project is

expected to add $162 million to the area’s economy over the next 10 years, as well as create 120 jobs.

Branding is expected to focus around the purity of water sourced from the mountains, and the sustainability of heating coming from the sun.

What has the locals most excited about the future is the possibility of Methven becoming an all-year round destination instead of its current reputation as being a winter resort town.

The addition of the pools would not only give tourism numbers a boost, but also create more and more opportunities for new faces to move into the area to help service those needs.

And, above all else, the prospect of sitting back in an idyllic setting while looking up the snow-covered mountains in the winter and the incredible Southern Alps in the summer is just an exciting prospect in itself.

Watch this space!

Brown or Blue?

It’s up to you Like Albert and Costello, Bert and Ernie and Waldorf and Statler it takes a special bond to stand the test of time as a combination,and the Brown and Blue Pubs in Methven certainly qualify.

For decades the dynamic duo of the Methven social scene have stood proud and tall, they’ve watched others fall around them but largely stayed true to their core values. Both have withstood the power of fire, and of course of earthquakes and continue to adapt and change as times allow them to become two of the most iconic figures in the township.

Owned by Deb Taylor and Trev den Baars under the banner of Methven Pubs, the two locations, while within a stone’s throw of each other, offer their services to two very different types of people for a large portion of the year. The Brown, known best for its hearty? locals, farming

folk and lovers of a good conversation over a cold beer along with a nice meal in the Mac’s Craft Bar & Eatery is the perfect relaxed environment.

Across the road, the Blue Pub sits as the more vibrant, winter-loving venue with its famous live music, including some big name bands in the next few months (check out their Facebook Page for all the information) and is the perfect venue to sit down and enjoy a drink with mates after a big day on the slopes.

Both venues offer excellent menus with good, traditional food which is largely sourced through local produce, offering visitors and diners alike to not only get a sense of Methven from the feel that both places give to those who walk in the doors, but also through taste as well. And, Kids aged 10 and under, eat for free!

Oil price drop may see relief at pump

By Liam Dann

growth for prolonged periods.

The rallies and slumps on oil markets in the past few years bear a similarity to the attempts by central banks to lift interest rates back to more normal levels.

Every time the global economy looks to be starting to boom, and central banks look to lift rates, sentiment shifts reversing the trend.

Whether the slump continues depend on geo-political factors and further tanker attacks could see it rising again.

But it’s all still a world away from a decade ago it was normal to see analysts predicting oil would hit $US150.

It has become increasingly obvious that the complexities of oil markets and petrol prices have little to do with the black stuff actually running out – a prospect that dominated thinking in the 1970s and 1980s.

Sadly for those concerned about fossil fuel consumption and global warming the economics of oil production have improved exponentially to meet demand.

It looks like our efforts to reduce reliance on oil will need to be self imposed.

NZME

Meanwhile, efforts by OPEC nation’s to limit supply have been hampered by rising US shale oil production – which has been coming back online since the big slump of 2014.

The historic slump in fuel prices, which began in 2014, saw prices fall more than 40 per cent.

It exacerbated deflationary conditions around the world, prolonging a period of historically low interest rates.

While this is often viewed as good news for consumers it reflects a world that now struggles to generate strong economic

NZME

New Zealand food prices rose an annual 1.7 per cent in May, boosted by more expensive groceries and restaurant and ready-to-eat food.

The annual rise in food prices followed a 1 per cent annual rise in April. Restaurant meals and readyto-eat food prices increased 3.2 per cent in May from a year earlier while grocery food prices increased 1.7 per cent on the year.

The increases were partly offset by a 1.4 per cent fall in fruit and vegetables on the year. Broccoli, potato and cabbage prices all fell in May. Broccoli fell 12 per cent, potatoes fell 3 per cent, and cabbages fell 11 per cent compared with May last year.

Prices for milk, cheese and eggs rose 3.3 per cent from a year earlier, as rising global dairy prices were now reflected in supermarket prices, said Price.

Eggs, both free-range and non-

free-range, were up 13.5 per cent versus May last year, as free-range egg suppliers remain under pressure to adjust for an egg shortage.

Food prices rose 0.7 per cent in May from April. Vegetable prices rose 1.4 per cent and fruit prices were unchanged on the month. The meat, poultry and fish subgroup rose 1.2 per cent versus April while milk, cheese and eggs were up 2.1 per cent.

After seasonal adjustment, food prices rose 0.4 per cent on the month.

The food price index accounts for about a fifth of the consumers price index, which the Reserve Bank uses to pursue its inflation target when setting interest rates. The central bank last month cut the official cash rate by 25 basis points to a record low 1.50 per cent as it looks to jump-start domestic economic growth and ensure inflation hits the midpoint of its 1 per cent to 3 per cent target range.

Inflation is currently an annual 1.5 per cent.

Separately, Stats NZ’s new measure of rental price inflation remained steady in May. It draws on Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment tenancy bond data, replacing a quarterly survey of landlords, and will also feed into the CPI. The ‘stock’ measure shows rental price changes across the entire renting population, whereas the ‘flow’ measure only captures dwellings that have a new bond lodged against them.

The national stock rental price index for May rose 3.4 per cent from the same month a year earlier. That matched the annual pace of increase in April and March. It rose 0.3 per cent in May from April.

On the flow basis, rental prices rose 3.9 per cent on the year in May after lifting an annual 4.4 per cent in April. It was down 0.2 per cent on the month.

Manufacturing growth slowing

By Rebecca Howard NZME

Manufacturing activity grew at its slowest pace in more than six years last month, and barely remained in expansionary territory.

The Bank of New Zealand-Business NZ performance of manufacturing index fell 2.5 points to a seasonally adjusted 50.2 in May and was down from 54.6 a year earlier.

A reading above 50 indicates activity is expanding. It was the lowest reading since December 2012, when it was also 50.2.

The last time manufacturing activity contracted was in September 2012 when the index was at 48.5.

“As a growth risk indicator it may

not be flashing bright red just yet, but it is moving in that direction in taking on a darker shade of amber,” said BNZ senior economist Doug Steel.

The production sub-index fell 3.7 points to 46.4 and the employment measure fell 2.8 points to 48.6. New orders eased 1.8 points to 50.4 while the deliveries sub-index was down 3.6 points at 51.7. The only sub-index to increase was for finished stocks, which was up 4 points at 56.5.

Given the latter feeds through into the former, it does not instill a strong belief that the sector will show solid improvement over the next few months,” said Catherine Beard, BusinessNZ’s executive director

for manufacturing.

BNZ’s Steel also said the “PMI sends a warning signal for near-term growth via its mix of falling production, near flat new orders, and rising inventory”.

While Steel is expecting quarterly economic growth of 0.6 per cent and annual growth of 2.4 per cent when next week’s first-quarter GDP is announced, “growth into the heart of the second quarter of the year has all but stalled in the manufacturing sector”.

He said BNZ is currently expecting annual growth in the second quarter to be around 2.1 per cent “but a softening PMI adds to the accumulating downside risks”.

A litre of 91 octane is currently about $2.20 according to the AA’s Petrol Watch.

Oil started rising again in January. But the rally was even shorter lived than last year.

A sharp drop in demand seems to be the biggest concern this year.

Investment banks have slashed their consumption forecasts.

But growing concern about the trade war and slowing global demand has combined with increasing US production to put prices sharply into reverse.

It is becoming a familiar pattern.

Global oil prices have slumped nearly 20 per cent in the past six weeks pointing to lower pump prices for Kiwis in the days ahead.

But while that’s good news for consumers the downside is that it reflects growing worries about strength of the global economy.

Brent crude oil dipped below $US60 a barrel this week – off 18 per cent since late April.

The other key benchmark, West Texas Crude oil is off 22 per cent in the same period.

Prices for both commodities spiked briefly, after attacks on oil tankers off the Gulf of Oman spooked markets.

Both have already started falling again, although the attacks do highlight just how volatile oil markets can be.

Longer term, the fall has big implications, not just for drivers’ wallets, but for inflation and the interest rate outlook.

OUR VIEW

Right to trial should be denied I

t’s one of the hallmarks of a civilised country that anyone accused of a crime must have their day in court, must have their opportunity to a defence and if they are found guilty, it must be beyond all reasonable doubt.

But there are times when having a day in court is a privilege that should be denied, when commonsense should step in and decree that no trial is needed, that the person in question is guilty beyond any possible doubt.

We’re currently in that place with the man who murdered 51 people in two Christchurch mosques and now facing charges.

Sue Newman

SENIOR REPORTER

There can be absolutely no doubt that he did what he is accused of having done – he was caught in the act, filmed himself in action and wrote words of intent that were damning in their own right.

And yet, we are wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayers’ money taking this man through court hearings to prove his guilt and to impose

a sentence. Just one or two court appearances could have dealt with the matter – charged, sentence imposed, transported to prison and the key to his cell door lost for all time.

But that didn’t happen.

Yesterday this person appeared in court in Auckland and, to the list of 51 charges of murder, 40 charges of attempted murder and charges of engaging in a terrorist act, he opted to plead not guilty.

Unbelievable.

Bad enough that anyone in the legal profession volunteered to defend this person, but even worse that he entered those not guilty pleas on his behalf.

Those two words – not guilty

– have now set the Crown on course for a lengthy trial and his lawyer for a fat pay cheque. One wonders how you square that with your conscience.

And for the victims and their families and friends that now means a long and traumatic wait for justice. For some it is likely to mean reliving the trauma as evidence is given.

For others, they may have the horrific task of being the ones who give that evidence.

All of this is patently unfair.

The cretin who committed these crimes is now in control.

He gets to drag the process out towards its inevitable end and along the way he’s playing with the lives of the victims’ families.

Some would argue that, regardless of how heinous his crimes, he deserves a fair trial.

Did his victims receive fair treatment at his hands?

The completed house In Malawi with the team from the Mt Hutt Elim Church and many of the local villagers.

Small things do matter R

ecently a team from our church returned from a development trip to Malawi.

While living in a traditional village for two-and-a-half weeks we built a new house and re-roofed two existing houses.

Unfortunately, the cheap local option of a thatched roof does not stay waterproof during the rainy season.

This leads to sick families and houses that quickly deteriorate to be uninhabitable.

It was a privilege to be part of a team, supported by the Methven community, to make a difference in this village.

For many, an iron roof is a dream that they just cannot afford. The joy that a waterproof iron roof brings to a family is hard to convey in words and needs to be experienced.

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

The team that went will be forever changed by their experience.

We all want to return to reconnect with new friends. To see if our building skills last the test of time. To be able to bring encouragement to the village that people on the other side of the world care about them.

But one of the things that struck me most was that the little things can make the biggest difference.

With a bit of Kiwi ingenuity and common-sense we were able to achieve a lot.

We didn’t need to have a certain skill set, just the desire to go and help. The difference was made by being willing to go and use whatever skills we had to help people.

I believe that this is an important part of building our local communities in Mid Canterbury as well.

Everybody has something that they can do to show their neighbours, and their community, that they care.

Jesus gave us two things to focus on in Mark 12:29-31(v29) Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. (v30) And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ (v31) The second

Facebook us!

is equally important: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

For the team that went to Malawi, and all those who supported the project, we were loving our neighbours on the other side of the world.

However, it is also vital that we love our neighbour next door.

Loving your neighbour is as simple as using what you are good at to help other people.

That could be practical help, or it could be as simple as cup of tea and a listening ear.

Let’s be a community that is known for how much we love and care for our neighbours.

Mark Taylor is the pastor at Mt Hutt Elim Church

We hear all the arguments about the dog poo all over the park.

This is not the case.

Yes, there are the odd poos around but given the number of dogs there, 99 per cent of people clean up after their dogs.

We are always keeping an eye on our dogs and clean up after them, we are especially vigilant on the sports ground were kids play as did our kids when they were little.

This is such a well-used park by

dog owners it’s criminal to stop us using it, DON’T say that you can go anywhere with a dog on a leash.

If you know anything about dogs they need to run free, not walked on a leash at human walking speed, this is for the health and well-being of the dogs.

That’s my whinge, now here’s a way forward, when you’re at the park most of it is not used, you could fit all the sports grounds, soccer and softball/tee-ball grounds at the bottom end of the park (closest to town) for softball is a summer sport and soccer is a winter sport, and make this end

a dog free zone or on a leash, if walking through.

This way all the dog owners can have a nice dry walking track to use and be happy campers, which I think the council would like.

Or, if this is a step too far, how about the top end paddock, the bit that has just been put down in new grass last year, beside Farm Road, and make this an area that you can run your dogs off leash.

Now, to all you other dog owners, get off your butts and stand up for yourself and your dogs.

We need to make a big noise on this one.

■■ SQUASH

South Island title in their sights

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

When the Midlands District representative squash team takes to the court in Dunedin this weekend, it will feature a strong Ashburton presence.

Four women from the Ashburton Squash Club made the cut for the team, which – on paper – looked to be a strong side which could well come up with the goods.

The tournament in Dunedin this weekend is the South Island teams event, where Midlands,

Canterbury, Otago and Southland battle it out on court, with each district selecting three juniors, three seniors and two masters.

The four Ashburton players selected are Katrina Palmer, as the side’s number one senior, Brooke Cornish-Madden as the number one junior, Darnell Lima as the number three junior and Karlie McQueen as the number two master.

The Midlands district runs from Rakaia to Oamaru and inland to Methven and Waimate, so for the

Ashburton Squash Club to have four women selected is an awesome achievement, Palmer said.

The tournament forms part of what is shaping up to be a big year for Cornish-Madden in particular, who has recently made the New Zealand under-15 ranking list at 16th, and is rapidly improving.

This weekend’s full-on competition will see three games played today and tomorrow, and Palmer said the Midlands men’s team was looking strong this year so they

would be gunning for the title.

Mid Canterbury’s top two men – Lee Barker and Steve Leckie – were unavailable to play this weekend, while Agustin Maunier, who upset Barker at last weekend’s Methven Squash Open, had left his run of form too late to make this team but was likely to be a contender when it came time for the national teams event in Christchurch later this year.

The Midlands men’s team is this weekend headlined by Patrick Mulvihill, with Kediah Bun-

gard at two and Thomas Pickles at three.

This weekend’s tournament is being hosted by the Otago Squash Club.

The full Midlands team competing in Dunedin this weekend is: Dave Laughton, Wayne King, Aaron Bungard, Patrick Mulvihill, Keidah Bungard, Thomas Pickles, Stephen Garner, Connor Bolitho, Liam Direen, Leanne Spite, Karlie McQueen, Sherry Howard, Katrina Palmer, Lily Rae, Stephanie Chambers, Brooke Cornish-Madden, Ashlyn Fenwick, Darnell Lima.

■■ RUGBY

Methven look for consistency

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

It’s been a tough old season for Methven rugby supporters.

Their team – on paper – has plenty of potential, but they’ve struggled to live up to that potential.

They finished the combined country competition a disappointing 14th out of the 22 teams and struggled to follow up a good performance with another good performance.

In round one of the local competition – the Watters Cup – last weekend Methven looked good, so now the question on everyone’s minds was whether they can make it two in a row in what is likely to be one of the toughest battles they will face all season.

Methven coach Jason Kjestrup was happy after his side’s win over defending Watters Cup champions Celtic last weekend.

In fact, he believed it was possibly his side’s best performance all season so far.

“They just didn’t let up, they just played for 80 minutes,” Kjestrup said.

He just hoped his team could back it up with another strong performance in front of a passionate home crowd at the Methven Domain today, against Mid Canterbury’s top performancers in the combined competition – Southern.

There would be no lack of incentive for Methven.

If they could knock over a Southern side that, given the performances they produced on their way to their combined country cup final, had to be Watters Cup favourites, it could put Methven in the box seat instead.

Methven also has the defence

Methven’s captain and surprise leading try-scorer this season, prop Matthew Groom (right), will be hoping to add to his tally against Southern today.

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN of some silverware to think about, after taking the Max Gilbert Challenge Trophy – Mid Canterbury Rugby’s equivalent of the Ranfurly Shield – off Celtic with that win last weekend.

But, Southern also have plenty of incentive.

They are coming off a weekend off, which gave them a chance to lick their wounds after a dramatic

31-all draw with Glenmark-Cheviot in the combined competition final.

It was Southern’s fourth appearance in the combined final, and incredibly, the third time they’d drawn the final, so when they take to the park again today they will be eager to make a statement.

Southern, traditionally, have

been a top contender when it came to the Watters Cup, but they have unfinished business in the local competition, too.

Last year they headed into the final against as the favourites, but lost to a determined Celtic outfit.

Celtic’s hopes of getting their hands on the cup again this year took a bit of a hit with that loss to Methven last weekend, but,

no team could ever be written off when it came to the local competition.

When it came to local derbies, teams lifted.

Yes, Celtic have lost the bulk of the side that created history in 2018 by winning the Watters Cup outright for the first time in 18 years, but they are still a team capable of producing some top rugby, as they showed at times in the combined competition.

Today Celtic are off to the Rakaia Domain to play a Rakaia team that also picked up a win in the opening round of the Watters Cup last weekend, notching up 50 points against Hampstead.

Rakaia will be without the barnstorming services of Ata Ata Langi Langi today as he is still out serving a suspension for an incident which occurred when Rakaia played Celtic at the end of the combined competition.

Rakaia came out on top that day, winning 40-24 to finish 11th overall, but both teams know that little could be read into that game.

Play in the senior fixtures at both the Methven and Rakaia domains will kick off at 2.45pm this afternoon, while Hampstead will sit this one out with the bye, adding another week onto the 10 years it has been since they last won a Watters Cup game.

There was bad news for the Hampstead senior Bs during the week too, with their third default of the 2019 senior B competition meaning they were now out of the competition for the season.

That now creates a bye in the Centennial Mug competition, which Mt Somers had today, while Collegiate will play Celtic, Methven takes on Southern and Rakaia will host Allenton.

UC ladies set to lend a hand to Celtic

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton Celtic’s women’s rugby team are meant to be heading up the road to play University of Canterbury (UC) today in their latest Canterbury metro competition game.

Instead, UC will make the trip to Ashburton and even lend a few players to the opposition.

Celtic have officially defaulted the game, but a game will still go ahead at Celtic at 1pm today.

Celtic women’s side manager Stefan Brook said it’s good of UC to lend Celtic some players, and it also means Ashburton rugby fans will get a chance to see how some familiar faces are getting on.

UC is the club that a few former Ashburton players headed to, including Nicole Purdom, who has most recently been plying her trade in Ireland, but she is currently at home and

likely to take to the field.

Tayla Ford and two of the Te Moananui triplets – who made the AshHutt girls’ team a force to be reckoned with in the Aoraki secondary schools’ competition when they were students at Mt Hutt College – are also now playing for UC. The University team also features a few name players, such as Black Fern Kendra Cocksedge, and although she won’t be taking to the field today it’s possible she could still make the trip down to support her side.

UC play in the Canterbury Metro women’s premiership, while Celtic are in the championship, and today’s game was due to be a crossover game.

Brook said although Celtic couldn’t field a team this week, the Celtic ladies will definitely have a team on the park for their last game of the season next weekend against Marist Albion in Christchurch.

Ashburton’s Nicole Purdom, who spent the New Zealand summer playing rugby in Ireland, will play in Ashburton today.

■■BASKETBALL

Raptors rule AP Kawhi Leonard’s first season with the Toronto Raptors started with his now-infamous laugh.

It ended with him getting the last laugh.

The best player on the league’s newly crowned best team is an NBA Finals MVP for the second time.

Toronto finally sits atop the basketball universe, with Leonard averaging 28.5 points in a six-game finals victory over the Golden State Warriors to lead the Raptors to their first championship, after beating the Golden State Warriors 114-111 in Game 6 yesterday.

He arguably ended any debate about who the best two-way player in the sport is at this moment.

“This is what I play basketball for,” Leonard said.

“This is what I work out for.”

The King of the North, as they’ve been calling Leonard in Toronto, was King of the Playoffs. He’s the third player to win Finals MVP with two franchises, joining only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and LeBron James.

“I think he’s the best two-way basketball player in the NBA,” Rap-

tors guard Kyle Lowry said. “He just goes. You know, I’ve seen some stuff from him this year that you just say, ‘Wow.’ You do. You say, ‘Wow’.”

Perhaps never more so than yesterday.

After missing most of last season with a leg injury, after having his commitment questioned, Leonard returned to basketball’s mountaintop.

He thrust both arms high into the air when it was over, letting out a scream of joy. He even allowed himself a tiny smile when he hoisted the MVP trophy.

“He’s just a competitor,” Warriors guard Stephen Curry said.

“We respect that, for sure. He’s shown that again this entire playoff run.”

The postseason was Leonard’s personal showcase.

He scored 732 points in the playoffs. Only Michael Jordan (759) and James (748) ever scored more in a single postseason. Leonard finished with 14 games of 30 points or more in these playoffs.

The only players with more in a single postseason are Jordan (16 in 1992), Hakeem Olajuwon (16 in 1995) and Kobe Bryant (15 in 2009).

Right – Kawhi Leonard was named FInals MVP.

Points flow in senior basketball games Tight games were the order of the night on Wednesday as the Mid Canterbury Men’s A-Grade competition heats up.

In the first game of the night, the Ashburton College A side squared off against Farmers Corner, who took the win 88-79.

The first quarter was offensively good for the College team as they converted their scoring opportunities, but let their defence slip slightly and could only take a 23-18 lead at the end of the first quarter.

The second quarter was a tough one for College, dropping their game at both ends of the court, allowing Farmers to score easily and allowed them to take a 44-36 lead into the half.

College started the third quarter well as Sam Pearce got on a scoring roll, hitting 11 points in the quarter.

However just as they clawed their way back, Farmers Corner finished the better, maintaining a 65-59 lead.

The fourth quarter was again a good one early for College as they edged closer, but Farmers Corner replied in the form of Xavier Bartlett who dropped three crucial 3-pointers to again pull away from the College boys.

Even with Mitch Ruffell putting in his own 10-point quarter effort including two 3-pointers, they were unable to close the gap with Farmers Corner running out deserved winners 88-79.

The second game of the night saw Newlands and Nomads take to the court.

Again a depleted Newlands lineup took the court against a Nomads team that started off well.

Despite Newlands being bolstered by the height of Jason Greig, Nomads held

a narrow 19-16 lead at the end of the first quarter.

The second quarter found Newlands finding gaps in Nomads man-to-man defence by taking their time on offence and moving well off the screens.

Newlands in turn upped their defensive work to end up in front at the half 38-29.

With the third quarter came a mix of mini-runs by both teams as Nomads drew close only for Newlands to extend it back again.

Nomads got close but Newlands closed out the quarter leading 57-48.

The fourth quarter was exciting as Nomads made a strong run at Newlands as they got to within three points.

However, Newlands were able to absorb the pressure and were clinical on their offence hitting the necessary baskets to keep the lead.

Nomads found themselves in foul trouble, handing Newlands four points from the free-throw line to give them some breathing space, allowing them to hold on to win 78-68.

For Newlands, Marc Juntilla was again excellent as he was dangerous on the drive and from 3 point range scoring 27 points with five 3-pointers.

Greig also proved a point of difference, scoring 17 points and dominating the rebounds.

As a Nomads player mentioned, “he just makes you change your shot as soon as you see the big hand coming at you”.

For Nomads, Mikal Johnson was excellent from 3-point range, hitting 26 points, six from beyond the arc which kept Nomads close.

United’s winning roll continues

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

United A claimed their third straight scalp since returning to Mid Canterbury Netball’s premier one grade, when they just edged past Hampstead A on Thursday night 29-26.

The win meant that United A, after starting the season in premier two and winning their way back into premier one for the season’s second round, are still unbeaten in 2019.

And that, United A coach Karla Newlands said, was great, but what was even better was that her players weren’t even at their best on Thursday night.

When your team threw away too much ball and just felt generally flat on the court, but still won, that was a good result, she said.

There was little between the two sides in the first quarter, but by half time United A had built a slender lead, 16-12, and they managed to maintain control from there, leading 21-18 at three-quarter time and still holding that three-goal lead by the end.

The news wasn’t so good for last year’s runners-up, Methven A, though.

After finishing round one in the same spot they finished overall last year – second – they were yet to pick up a win from their first three outings in round two.

Their latest loss was at the hands of College A on Thursday night, 41-26.

The biggest difference from round one, to round two, for Methven A was that they were missing the experience, talent and level-head of shooter Leanne Clemens, who was away overseas.

With just two games to go until the end of round two, when the bottom team from premier one will play the top team from premier two in a promotion/relegation game, Methven A are in desperate need of points on the board.

The team that beat them on Thursday night, however, are in a much better spot.

United A’s Olivia McLennan claims a ball during her side’s win over Hampstead A on Thursday night.

After a couple of weeks where College A hadn’t really fired on all cylinders, things finally started clicking again this week.

College A coach Kaye Kennedy said her side had picked up their first victory of the first round of the Canterbury secondary schools’ SuperNet competition on Wednesday night, beating Cashmere 32-29, before stepping it up yet another notch on Thursday.

“It was just a great team game really, awesome through court

and defensively taking our time, and we were actually able to let the ball go quickly, which caught them with their heads down,” Kennedy said.

College A would need to step it up again next week though, with the unbeaten defending champions Celtic A their next opposition.

■■NORTHVIEW HUSTLER

Aussie raider eyes NZ Cup

Rosewood ‘thriving’

By Adam Hamilton

NZME

Former Kiwi pacer Northview Hustler has made such a splash in Queensland he could return “home” for a crack at the NZ Cup and Auckland Inter Dominion.

But first his excited new trainer Alistair Barnes is focused on the Queensland Winter Carnival riches.

“He’s unbelievable this horse.

“I’m not used to this, planning for big races.

“My careers been all about looking what’s on next week and trying to place the horses I’ve got to win some races,” Barnes said.

Northview Hustler has turned plenty of heads winning all three starts since being sent across from NZ by John Street and Ray Green.

“I thought I was incredibly lucky to get the horse to train, but I’m even luckier they gelded him when he was spelling and that’s what made him as a racehorse,” Barnes said.

“He’s a machine. He’s stamina and blinding speed.”

Northview Hustler’s biggest Queensland test comes against the state’s buzz pacer, Colt Thirty One, in tonight’s Mr Feelgood free-for-all (2138m) at Albion Park.

Colt Thirty One has the advantage of gate four, while Northvuew Hustler is off the back row (gate 10).

But Barnes is buzzing with

Trainer Alistair Barnes is very happy with Northview Hustler. confidence despite Northview Hustler being $3.80 with the Aussie TAB and Colt Thirty One a $1.60 favourite.

“I can’t see him beating us.

“He’s a really good horse Colt Thirty One, but he’s vulnerable if he has to work early in his races and we’ll do everything we can to make sure that happens,” Barnes

said.“With the emergency Mach Alert getting a run we follow out Slice Of Heaven, who is a really quick beginner I think we can push through and settle in front of Colt Thirty One. “If we do, I don’t think can beat us.”

The race has been touted as deciding Queensland’s top seed

Northview Hustler is one of four Lincoln Farms horses in Barnes’ stable and it’s all stemmed from a chance meeting on a holiday in Fiji.

“I was on holidays and met this guy who wanted to buy a horse, which turned out to be Lincoln Road and that’s how the association started,” Barnes said.

“Trojan Banner came across and won his first six and Lincolns Girl’s done a terrific job.

“I’d ask them about sending Northview Hustler across for a while because I thought he’d be really well suited here, but he was a bit of a favourite of Ray Green’s so it was a hard sell.

“Then, one day after Trojan Banner and Lincolns Girl won at the same meeting, John Street rang me and said that they were sending Northview Hustler across.

“You can imagine how excited I was.”

Barnes is so confident Northview Hustler will acquit himself well during the Queensland winter, he’s let his mind wander to a possible return to NZ. “I think an NZ Cup is possibly on the cards.

“If he’s as good as I think it is.

“I know it’s a race they (the Lincoln Farms team) would love to have a go at,” he said.

Wet track specialist Rosewood will get her favoured heavy 11 surface today when she lines-up in the Redstag Open Handicap (1500m) at Awapuni, and trainer Marilyn Paewai is hoping she can go one better than last start.

The daughter of Redwood was luckless when runner-up to Dolcetto in the Listed Ag Challenge Stakes (1600m) after a gap closed on her down the straight and she had to regather her momentum to make a late inside dash.

Paewai was philosophical about the run and said her five-year-old mare has pulled up well after that run.

“It’s just one of those things, I don’t think Lisa (Allpress, jockey) could see too well,” Paewai said.

“She was on her second pair of goggles and it was just a split second decision to go (for the gap).

“She saw the gap and thought it was there and it closed, but that’s just the way it is.

“The horse has come through it very well. In those sort of situations I always think that you are lucky to come through it unscathed.”

Rosewood thrives on wet tracks, having won eight of her nine starts on a heavy track, and Paewai believes she can add a tenth victory to her record today.

Rosewood was set to carry 60kg, however, Paewai has elected to utilise apprentice jockey Hazel Schofer’s four kilo claim.

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Activity can be invigorating or draining. It can show love or hide its lack.

Action proves nothing. To understand, look at the entire context. Let a person’s intention weigh heaviest in your calculation.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): There’s a part of life that’s gotten intolerable. You can’t abide by the way it is. Your choice is to create a change or to live differently with the unchanged version.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): In a dynamic duo, one person acts; the other builds on it. If the other person opposes the action, and has good reason to, this may also be acceptable, as the best partnerships involve checks and balances.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ll make tender connections, mostly because you genuinely care about others. Also, you’re consciously trying to create an emotional safety zone around you – how attractive!

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): A competitive instinct takes over.

You suddenly see what it will take to win the prize. You’ll only have a split second to determine whether this move will be worth it.

Trust yourself.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’ve been so lucky.

Convenience has been the normal state of things. But there are some things that you don’t mind waiting for. In fact, the waiting makes them even more worthwhile.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): It’s not that you’re trying to hog the work or show off by lifting the entire burden. It’s just that by the time you show someone else how to do it, you could have finished it, and done a mighty fine job of it.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Can you change the world in one day? Of course! You just won’t see how right away. But you can trust that your actions can set off a course of events that makes a profound difference for many.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Nature is, as a rule, more powerful than the will of a human. This is why it’s better to listen to nature and work within her limits and structures. Success comes to those who treat nature like the mother she is.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You like to be good and do the right thing. You just don’t like other people telling you what “good” is, or what “the right thing” is, for that matter.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’re sort of like a civil servant whose mission is to “protect and serve,” only those served won’t be the public.

There’s a specific group who needs you very much, and you’ll show up strong for it.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Wherever you go today, you’ll be content to be there, in part because you carry your sense of belonging with you at all times. It goes well your deep curiosity and appreciation for the people you encounter.
