Tsunami threat; huts evacuated

Hakatere Huts residents spent most of yesterday catching up on lost sleep after being evacuated from their homes early yesterday in the wake of yesterday’s 7.5 magnitude earthquake.

The earthquake, centred in the Hanmer-Kaikoura area woke many people around the Ashburton District just after midnight and while most went back to sleep Hakatere residents were forced to leave their homes as tsunami warnings were issued.

At around 2am the settlement’s emergency siren was activated and police went from house to house asking people to leave the area.

Resident Joy Lithgow said there was no panic when the order to leave was given.

“The lower huts were very organised.

We had the siren going and we made sure everyone was aware. Everyone was very good and checked on everyone else. Both the upper and lower huts were evacuated.”

Tsunami awareness was something residents lived with, she said.

Between 30 and 40 people left the settlement and initially went to McDonald’s food outlet before moving to a room at the Ashburton District Council offices. The Salvation Army provided breakfast before the weary residents were able to return home at about 8.15am.

In her eight years as a Hakatere resident, Lithgow said there had been a few tsunami warnings but this was the first time she had experienced a mass evacuation of the settlement.

While the settlement appeared to have escaped any damage from the

quake, Lithgow said it had been a frightening event.

“When it’s in the middle of the night it’s scarier and this one went on for so long.”

The quake was charted at two minutes in length.

About 40 residents were also evacuated from the South Rakaia Huts settlement, although some elected to stay in their properties confident that the contour of the beach would ensure a tsunami would not hit land.

Shane Webster stayed, but his wife and mother left. Rather than heading for Rakaia, he said most of the evacuees spent about four hours in their cars on higher ground waiting for the all-clear.

Farmers on standby to take cows By linda ClarkE

linda.C@thEguardian.Co.nz

Mid Canterbury farmers are on standby to take dairy cows from quake-affected North Canterbury dairy farmers.

Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers dairy spokesman Nathan Currie said communication was the biggest problem and knowing what was needed.

“I have plenty of farmers that can take cows to alleviate issues they might have. The next thing is transport and working out the logistics of getting stock out due to road closures.

“We have trucks on standby and people on standby.”

Currie said he had heard of rotary platforms being knocked off their rollers by the quake, so milking sheds would be out of action.

Cows can go several days without milking before welfare issues arise.

He said Mid Canterbury farmers had people ready to travel to North Canterbury to help rebuild sheds and do other work as needed.

In the meantime, dairy service businesses would be on the ground as quickly as possible getting sheds up and running again.

Currie said the service industry had learned a lot since the quakes

in Canterbury in 2010, when his own platform was knocked off its rollers at Dunsandel.

“The Canterbury back-up on the service side is very, very good and very efficient. I am pretty confident if we can get them in there they will gets sheds running again quickly.”

Fonterra has confirmed it does expect some milk collection disruption due to road closures and other issues accessing farms in the top of the South Island.

“We’re extremely relieved to confirm there are no injuries to any of our staff around the country, and our focus continues to be making sure we can contact and support as many of our farmers in affected areas as we can,” said Fonterra’s Farm Source Chief Operating Officer, Miles Hurrell.

Some farms that remain without power, or those that cannot be reached by tanker due to road closures, may need to dispose of their milk. Hurrell said Fonterra would contact farmers directly if disposal is required.

Road conditions in Kaikoura mean there are about 30 farms in the area that may not have their milk collected, while others around the country may have late collections as tankers are rerouted.

Two fires at Mania-o-Roto Park

By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

A fire early yesterday morning resulted in two call-outs for the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade.

A blaze in a line of trees at the Mania-o-Roto Park at the south end of Chalmers Avenue required two separate fire brigade call-outs to extinguish flames.

Mark Somerville, who is involved with the scouts, said the first fire was set around 5am and the brigade came to extinguish it.

At around 9am smoke and

flames were noticed by people in the area and the brigade was called once more.

Somerville said the fire brigade believed the blaze was deliberately set and it looked suspicious because there were two areas of burnt wood with a break in the middle, and nothing nearby that could’ve set anything alight.

He said they’d had trouble with vandalism before and in the past there were youths who had set fire to tyres in their campfire, and tried to burn down a shelter nearby.

A tree stump in the ground

had also been burnt out previously.

Barry Marret who is also involved in the scouts said there would be an excess of 200 people using the facilities so to have someone trying to start fires is a real shame.

Community groups like the cubs, brownies, scouts, girl guides, venturers and rovers all used the facility, as well an adult disabled day care.

Somerville said they had even hosted weddings at the venue.

“For toe-rags to just come here and set fires is just the last thing anyone needs,” he said.

Hakatere, Rakaia huts’ residents evacuated From P1 The earthquake meant an early start to the day for members of the Ashburton Salvation Army’s emergency team.

Captain Ken Smith received a phone call just after 5am alerting him that Hakatere evacuees were in need of breakfast and

within minutes he was on the phone, calling up team members and knocking on the door of supermarket Countdown for supplies.

“By 7am we had taken in about 50 people and provided them with breakfast. I was knocking on Countdown’s door at quarter

to six and they got everything together that we needed,” Smith said.

The influx of evacuees from Hakatere at McDonald’s was matched by a flood of other customers about an hour after the quake, owner Dave Whalley said.

“Our staff were great. They had to pull it all together at a time when they really wanted to be home with their own families,” he said.

That busyness had carried on into the morning, he said with quite a few people “wandering around looking a bit lost”.

“This earthquake will have brought up a lot of memories for a lot of people.”

In the days to come, Whalley believes Ashburton, in common with most other towns along State Highway One, will notice the effects in a struggle to secure supplies from the North Island.

■ KAIKOURA EARTHQUAKE

No signs of building damage

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Yesterday’s 7.5 magnitude earthquake plunged residents across the Ashburton District back in time to 4.35am, September 4, 2010 when Canterbury was rocked by a similar size quake.

The two minute long, rolling quake, centred around Kaikoura, struck just after midnight and while it might have caused minimal damage across the district, it was strong enough to wake the district.

Daylight showed that the earthquake might have wreaked havoc in the greater Kaikoura and Hanmer areas but there were few signs of damage to buildings in the Ashburton District.

Civil Defence controller Terry O’Neill said that early in the day there were no reports of structural damage to buildings.

While no Civil Defence personnel from the district had been sent into the earthquake stricken area, O’Neill anticipated inspection and incident management crews would be needed in the days ahead.

Building services manager Michael Wong and staff walked the streets of Ashburton yesterday checking all buildings for signs of earthquake damage.

“We particularly looked at buildings previously damaged during the Canterbury quakes to see if there was any new damage but there was nothing and that was a relief,” he said.

Building owners who had any concerns about their properties should contact a structural engineer, Wong said.

This huge slip caused by the 7.5 magnitude earthquake, has blocked the main highway along the coast north of Kaikoura.

“We can only look at the outside and make a call in terms of public safety and there are quite a few building owners that I have spoken to who have engineers coming down to check buildings but from council’s point of view there are no causes for concern.”

Council staff also checked the

town’s elderly brick churches for damage and gave their exteriors the all-clear, he said.

There have been no reports of damage to roads or bridges around the district.

In the aftermath of the earthquake the only events of significance around the district was

the evacuation of residents at the Hakatere Huts settlement because of tsunami risk.

At least one business took the precautionary measure of remaining closed yesterday.

Heartland Bank lending manager Andrew Wilson said it was a head office decision for the bank

to remain closed until the building was checked out by a structural engineer. He anticipated staff would return to work today.

While schools from North Canterbury to Wellington closed yesterday, all schools in the Ashburton District remained open.

Raising diabetes awareness It was a blue day yesterday as a number of people came together to raise awareness of diabetes.

The day is an international event encouraging people to wear blue to help raise awareness of the disease, which affects around 260,000 people in New Zealand.

Diabetes New Zealand is en-

couraging communities to come together and take a photo near a local landmark as a show of solidarity.

The photos would then be posted online using the hashtags #EyesOnDiabetes and #WDD2016.

Denise Wells, who has been co-ordinating the diabetes

group in Ashburton, said it was pleasing to see the amount of local support.

Wells said there will also be an open meeting at 2pm on Thursday, November 17.

The meeting will be held at the Seniors Centre and there will be guest speakers from Ashburton Eyecare, who will be talking

about eye health.

Vision health is important for those with diabetes because having a high level of blood sugar can cause damage to the blood vessels in the eyes.

One of the major issues is called diabetic retinopathy and can result in total blindness if not treated.

Ideal learning opportunity for young thespians Ashburton’s young thespians will have an opportunity to learn from one of New Zealand’s best when they book a place in this year’s Big Little Theatre Company summer school.

Director Jackie Heffernan has secured former associate artistic director of Christchurch’s

Court Theatre, Bryan Aitken as artist stepped down as National President of Theatre New Zealand and freelances as a director and tutor of musical theatre.

The Summer School will incorporate scene study “from page to stage”, working on ways to integrate dialogue, song and character. This will lead on to

the staging of the popular Greg Kotus/Mark Hollmann musical Urinetown to be directed by Aitken mid-year.

Aitiken and the Big Little Theatre Company will be meeting at the Ashburton Event Centre on November 22 to discuss further the detailed planning for these projects where he will

be answering questions from interested young people who may be considering taking part in the week.

“Securing Bryan for these two projects was a theatrical coup for the youth of Mid Canterbury,” Heffernan said.

This year’s summer school will run from January 16 to 20.

The partner of the truck driver who narrowly missed getting buried in a landslide along the Kaikoura coastline just wants to hear her loved one’s voice. Christchurch woman Catherine Johnson was yet to speak to her partner who was found safe and well yesterday afternoon, after some 15 hours of radio silence led her to fear the worst. “Even though I know he’s safe, I’d rather touch him, I just want to give him a hug.” STL driver Denis Dunn, had caused some alarm amongst his colleagues, friends and family who feared he might have been buried in a large landslide along the coast, following the damaging early morning 7.5-magnitude quake.

Twin quake intrigues International scientists are intrigued at the complexity of the suspected twin quakes that rattled New Zealand overnight Sunday. Professor of Geosciences Kevin Furlong, of Pennsylvania State University in the US, said what GeoNet now considers two separate earthquakes, striking at Culverden just after midnight with a magnitude of 7.5, showed evidence of “complex rupture history”. The area where the quakes appeared, contained numerous faults with a wide range of orientations, Furlong noted.

■ UNITED STATES

Mexico wall ‘appropriate’ Donald Trump has vowed to push ahead with his hard line campaign promise of deporting illegal immigrants, saying he plans to deport approximately two to three million undocumented migrants immediately upon taking up office.

“What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably two million, it could be even three million – we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” the US president-elect said.

The billionaire real estate baron made security at the USMexico border a central plank of his insurgent presidential campaign, which resulted in last week’s shock election victory against his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

Trump added that the barrier to be erected on the US border with Mexico may not consist entirely of brick and mortar, but that fencing could be used in some areas.

“There could be some fencing,” Trump says in his first prime time interview since being elected president last week.

“But (for) certain areas, a wall is more appropriate.

Donald Trump is still intent on keeping out the Mexicans.

PHOTO AP

“I’m very good at this, it’s called construction,” he said.

Trump’s comments quash any hopes that the Republican may be more moderate on immigration as a leader than the hard line he touted on the campaign trail.

They also seemed to contradict an interview that House Speaker Paul Ryan gave in which he said there were no plans to erect a deportation force to round up and deport undocumented immigrants.

“I think we should put peo-

ple’s minds at ease: That is not what our focus is. That is not what we’re focused on.

“We’re focused on securing the border.

“We think that’s first and foremost, before we get into any other immigration issue, we’ve got to know who’s coming and going into the country – we’ve got to secure the border,” he added.

The interview preview came as Trump once again lashed out at his enemies on social media.

Hours after he promised to be more restrained he gloated about his win in one of his trademark Twitter sprees.

Trump, whose sensational election win blindsided much of the media, took aim at the New York Times.

Trump tweeted twice about the New York Times’ “highly inaccurate” coverage of his campaign and claimed it was losing “thousands of subscribers”.

In a letter to subscribers after the election, the publisher of the Times questioned whether Trump’s “sheer unconventionality” led the paper and other news outlets to underestimate his support among American voters. The letter vowed to “rededicate” the Times to its mission of reporting news “without fear or favour”.

I have dreamed of being in the Victoria’s Secret show since I was a child and grew up with angels plastered on my diaries. So to be walking in the show with the likes of Angels like Alessandra Ambrosio is going to be such a pinch-me moment.”

Sam steals Katy cut-out

■ AUSTRALIA

Sam Smith made off with a cardboard cut-out of Katy Perry during a recent house party in east London. The Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter turned up uninvited after a night on the booze and eventually left with a rather unusual souvenir from the party. A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “Sam was never invited to the party but he heard about it through his pal MNEK, who was also there. Everyone was a bit surprised when he turned up wasted, out of the blue. “After about an hour or so he made his exit with a Katy Perry cut-out that the house’s owner had used as a decoration.

The whole thing was very odd.”

Twist in the tale of Lizard Man murder Police are treating the deaths of a Gold Coast bikie associate and the woman who predicted he would kill her as a double murder.

Shelsea Schilling and her ex Bronson Ellery, a former Bandidos enforcer and wannabe hardcore musician, better known as Lizard Man for his elaborate tattooing, were

found dead at Mr Ellery’s Southport unit on Friday.

While police have refused to formally comment on the case as investigations continue, police sources have said the deaths were now both being treated as suspicious rather than a murder-suicide, which was initially suspected.

Ms Schilling’s mother, Bon-

nie Markwell Mobbs, reported her daughter missing on Friday after being unable to make contact with her since last Wednesday.

In several Facebook posts she has blamed Ellery for her daughter’s death, sharing a chilling poem Ms Schilling wrote while her former partner was in jail that revealed

she was “scared for her life”.

The poem detailed a volatile and violent relationship that she feared could lead to death.

“The man of my dreams is my biggest fear,” the poem began.

“I’m sorry to be so negative but I want everyone to know that if I get hurt or die Bronson Ellery is responsible.”

OUR VIEW

Quake strikes yet another blow James Ford

NEWS CO-ORDINATOR

N

ew Zealand has once again been rocked.

Not only physically, but emotionally, too.

Yesterday’s earthquake shock had a magnitude of between 7.5 and 7.8, with the epicenter being 15 km north-east of Culverden.

There have been casualties in Culverden and Kaikoura, and two deaths reported, including one in Kaikoura and one in Mount Lyford, as of the time I write this editorial.

More than 380 aftershocks hit the South and lower North Island in the 12 hours following the quake as the extent of the devastation spread throughout New Zealand.

It’s all too familiar, and, although we are well aware that there will be more earthquakes in the future, we can never fully prepare for them.

It was a new experience for me, I had not felt an earthquake since moving to New Zealand from the UK. It was certainly memorable, for all of the wrong reasons.

I woke up to the shudder, but, luckily, our community has felt little effect.

The same can’t be said for our fellow New Zealanders in other areas of the country, though.

The damage felt in the most affected communities was the first thing that became apparent to me yesterday morning.

But what followed soon after was examples from across the country of solidarity.

As disruptive and scary earthquakes are, the reaction of people throughout is something we, as Kiwis, can be proud of.

Granted, incidents of looting were reported.

But these disgraceful acts were overwhelmed by the positivity on display.

The chances of another earthquake have risen.

GeoNet predictions calculated the chance of a quake more than 7.0 on the Richter scale at 24 per cent.

In the next month, that chance has risen to 32 per cent.

But, whatever the coming days hold, we can take solace in the strength of our communities and camaraderie of those that have suffered, along with those that have not.

Trump’s election to have profound effects

By Nick clark

T

he US election and Donald Trump’s surprise victory will have profound implications for the global economy well beyond the immediate financial market instability.

President-elect’s Trump’s campaign rhetoric was extreme to say the least but light on policy detail.

It’s hard to say whether Trump can do everything he said he would on the hustings. One thing that is clear about Trump though is that he is against free trade.

Disappointingly for those who favour free trade, including yours truly, the fear is that the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement is now grievously if not mortally wounded.

Furthermore if a Trump administration imposes punitive tariffs on say China or Mexico it is hard to think this wouldn’t cause retaliation and a wave of trade barriers being erected in a ‘beggar thy neighbour’ environment.

Trump’s stunning win is also another in a growing revolt by so-called ‘ordinary people’ in Western countries against political, financial and business ‘elites’ and ‘experts’. The past decade has seen growing dissatisfaction with the established order, with globalisation, and with social and demographic change.

We’ve seen it with Brexit in the UK and the rise of far right and far left parties in Europe. The response seems to be for more interventionist insular economic policy and a PC backlash.

To date New Zealand has been relatively sheltered from all this and many Kiwis are watching with a mixture of trepidation, bemusement and even amusement.

It is naïve though to think we are immune from the contagion behind our South Pacific moat.

Concerns about housing affordability and immigration are our equivalent debates.

So why does Trump’s victory and global developments matter for New Zealand?

New Zealand is a trading nation. We don’t have a big domestic market so we rely on exports of goods and services (including tourism) to sustain our first world standard of living.

For our exporters to be competitive not only do we need markets to be growing and consumers spending, but we need fair access into those markets.

CharRees Vineyard Ashburton’s own vineyard

www.charrees.co.nz 1km South of Tinwald, SHW 1

Protesters hold banners during a rally outside the CNN studios, in opposition to president-elect Donald Trump, in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles yesterday.

PHOTO AP This is why successive New Zealand governments have promoted trade liberalisation that reduces trade barriers and subsidies that tilt the playing field against our exporters.

The need for liberalisation is particularly true for agriculture.

Agriculture is one of our great competitive advantages but it is also one of the most contentious issues in other countries, especially where protected farmers have political clout.

So agriculture is always one of the toughest areas to get meaningful trade liberalisation. This has all got a lot harder.

TPPA was not perfect but it was set to deliver tariff reductions of $72 million on our meat exports and $102 million on our dairy exports. These are now lost or so it would seem – at least until an alternative is found. Finding alternatives has to be a priority for

the New Zealand Government.

The US is one of our biggest export markets, taking $5.8 billion in goods exports in 2015. Of this $4.0 billion were agricultural commodities making the US our second biggest agricultural export market behind China.

In 2015 our biggest agricultural export commodities to the US were frozen beef ($1.6 billion), dairy products ($1.1 billion), wine ($432 million), sheep meat ($287 million), and fruit ($131 million).

This trade is not at immediate risk from heightened protectionism but could be hit if the US economy suffers and consumers stop spending.

This brings us onto the wider economic implications. In the immediate aftermath of the election result world financial markets gyrated and in some cases slumped.

It’s too early to say when and

how the markets settle, but if the hit to confidence persists then we could see a return to recession and longer-term economic issues affecting availability and cost of credit, commodity prices, and the exchange rate. All of these would be worrying for New Zealand.

The morning after the election, the Reserve Bank did what everyone expected it to do – it cut the OCR to 1.75 per cent.

Although the Reserve Bank acknowledged heightened global economic and political risks, it observed that the domestic economy continues to push ahead and that dairy prices have improved.

However, it sounded a note of caution on future dairy prices and it continued to say that the NZ Dollar needs to come down.

Inflation remains low but the Reserve Bank expects it to rise from December onwards due to

Sparkling Pearl

The newest taste of Ashburton, this sparkling white is the perfect drop on a sunny Summers Day. Enquire about a wine tasting today.

the stimulus from low interest rates, the strength of the domestic economy, and reduced drag from tradables inflation which is currently negative.

The latter assumes that import prices like oil will rise or at least not fall and the NZ Dollar falls or at least doesn’t rise.

Looking ahead the Reserve Bank has maintained a slight easing bias but market interpretation is that there won’t be a further cut.

The world economy is most uncertain and there are big risks out there. To think there won’t be a need for the Reserve Bank to cut again might be premature!

Interesting times ahead …

■ INTEREST RATE CUT

Quake could dent confidence

BY GRANT BRADLEY ASB economists say yesterday’s earthquake could increase the odds of another interest rate cut next year if economic disruption leads to a fall in confidence.

They also warn there is a risk to the booming tourism sector and rebuilding will put pressure on the stretched constructiion sector.

Based on damage reports, they say South Island transport infrastructure and Wellington’s business district are the key areas that are vulnerable to short-term economic disruption.

The 2013 Seddon earthquakes caused moderate damage to a number of Wellington buildings.

However, the initial business disruption was offset by increased demand for repair and replacement of damaged goods.

With larger events, such as the 2011 Canterbury quake, the negative economic impact was a result of subsequent population outflows and the impacts on

spending and broader economic demand in the region.

Repairing damage from yesterday’s earthquakes will boost construction demand over the coming year, at a time when construction capacity is already stretched.

“We expect this will result in even stronger construction inflation.

“Earthquake repair demand will be broad-based across infrastructure, commercial buildings (in particular Wellington) and residential housing.’’

As there may be limited capacity for further increase in construction activity, the urgency of repair work may crowd out or defer activity which would have otherwise taken place.

“In the short term, if there is a prolonged period of aftershocks, there may be a temporary fall in construction activity.”

There is some risk that large earthquakes could deter or defer overseas visitor arrivals.

Tourism activity is likely to be diverted away from the mid-up-

Country

per South Island as a result of the most recent quakes.

Canterbury suffered a large decline in guest nights due to the destruction of accommodation capacity in 2011.

“Given damage appears to be more limited, any impacts on tourism should be comparatively short lived,” the ASB economists say.

The New Zealand dollar fell in response to the earthquakes yesterday morning, but the extent of decline appears fairly limited.

The timing of the earthquakes

allowed for more information to be available before the markets reacted.

Yesterday morning the New Zealand dollar was 1.5 per cent to 2 per cent lower against most currencies and down just 0.5 per cent against the Australian dollar.

While yesterday’s earthquake was severe, the location suggests a limited economic impact, says the ASB. In comparison, the February 2011 Canterbury earthquake caused catastrophic damage to New Zealand’s second biggest city and economic confidence was at risk.

In response, the Reserve Bank delivered a 50 basis point rate cut in March 2011 returning the Official Cash Rate to “emergency settings”.

This had followed two 25 basis point hikes in mid-2010.

The OCR remained at 2.5 per cent until March 2014.

The RBNZ’s next scheduled OCR review is now on February 9 next year.

Been there, done that Radiation sickness. Brittle bones.

Alzheimers.

None of these will deter explorers in their quest to establish a foothold on Mars, says Apollo 11 hero Buzz Aldrin.

“Most people will say the big problem is going to be radiation,” he told News Corp.

“I don’t think we really understand how much we can take of that, or from how much we can be protected in efficient ways.

“But to hold astronauts to the same (safety) standards as those on the Earth is limiting.

“My thought is my grandfather, my great grandfather, their life expectancy was 60. Maybe less.

It’s better now. I’m 86!”

Buzz Aldrin spoke while in Australia to promote his passion for a human outpost on Mars as part of the National Geographic’s series of public talks, Mars: The Live Experience.

Would Buzz be happy to take such a risk himself?

“Well, it may hurt! But to have a very challenging life from age 40 when you get to Mars, and returning at 60, may be worth it having sacrificed for your country, or for humanity.

“This is a concept that I don’t think very many people have come to grips with yet.”

Aldrin is no stranger to risk: He was a veteran combat pilot before becoming something of a first for the space programme.

“Eisenhower said he didn’t want to send poets, he didn’t want to send philosophers – the idea of a journalist, no we’re not ready for that.

“Teachers? No we’re not ready for that either.

“He wanted success. And that’s

Entrepreneurs welcome In the wake of the US election, Kiwi social and impact entrepreneur Derek Handley says he’s had early interest in an offer to relocate American entrepreneurs to New Zealand if his activist venture capital firm invests in them. Aera VC, officially launched last week, plans to invest in 15 social impact startups in the next two years, after already investing in six while it was still operating under the radar. Handley says he’s already had a number of inquiries about the relocation offer which would involve entrepreneurs shifting to New Zealand.

Milk collection disruption Fonterra Co-operative Group, the world’s biggest dairy exporter, says yesterday’s earthquake in north Canterbury did not cause any major damage to its manufacturing sites, with all staff safe. However, it expects disruption to milk collection and farms that cannot be reached may have to dispose of their milk. The Auckland-based co-operative will contact farmers directly if that was required.

Pac Edge shares up Pacific Edge shares have rallied after the cancer diagnostics company announced positive results from a trial of its bladder test.

Smiths City revenue up

Buzz Aldrin why the edict was test pilots.

“I thought I was too little, too late ...”

But his ground-breaking work on orbital trajectories while studying at MIT soon convinced NASA he had the right stuff.

Getting to Mars is an immensely more difficult proposition than the Moon.

At every level.

“Then we didn’t know,” Aldrin said of early Mars plans.

“In ‘69, the same year as our mission, there was a study group called the Space Task Group.

“They came up with three levels of funding intensity. The highest level would have gotten to Mars before 1985. Even the sparse funding would have got us there before the year 2000.

“Quite an optimistic prediction ...”

“The punch line to that is, when we go to Mars, six months, seven months, eight months later – whatever it is – there is no free return,” he said.

“You have to get it 100 per cent: 95 per cent, you don’t get to Mars.

“You don’t come back,” he says.

Smiths City Group, the Christchurch-based appliance and furniture retailer, says revenue increased by 18 per cent in the six months to the end of October, partly due to its purchase of Furniture City. Sales revenue on a same-store basis rose 7.7 per cent compared with the same period a year earlier, while delivered gross margin rose by 1 per cent, according to a statement published to the NZX. - NZME

Price median $510,000 New Zealand’s median house price increased 11 per cent in October, as tougher lending rules failed to dampen sales of higher value properties, according to the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand.

The national median house price rose to $510,000 in October from $460,000 a year earlier, the institute said. The price weakened from the September median level of $515,000.

Yellen to testify As investors watch and digest the implications of Donald Trump’s upset victory in the US presidential elections, US Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen is set to testify on the country’s economic outlook before Congress on Thursday. Last week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 5.4 per cent, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index rallied 3.8 per cent as did the Nasdaq Composite Index, as investors piled into stocks that were seen benefiting from a Trump presidency, notably in the health, financial and infrastructure industries.

MARKET REPORT Dairy More rain this week in the northern parts of the province as the medium-term feed conditions look good, but deeper soil profiles are still very dry.

South Canterbury and North Otago report that a lack of warmth and sun has held back stock growth, while the rest of Canterbury is starting to harvest the surplus grass.

Most of the AB mating has now concluded with bulls now covering the balance of the herd. Managers will be checking submission rates and getting vet help to stimulate non-ovulating animals.

Reports out of the West Coast suggest 20 per cent of the farmers are in financial trouble and there are too many farms on the market to list and evaluate what the true market value really is.

Criticism is building about Westland Milk Products’ past performance. The new CEO and to be appointed chairman of the board, will need a quick financial improvement to rebuild the confidence of shareholders.

MPI have won an appeal against the well publicised bobby calf abuser and achieved a prison term that reflects the severity of the offence.

Following the positive auction results, more banks have improved their milk forecasts. BNZ has joined ASB in predicting a $6 payout for this year.

A2 Milk has been reporting very good growth in sales in Australia and China, as some in NZ believe this country has been slow to utilise the marketing opportunity of this different product.

Lamb Schedule falls continued this week as the Christmas production ends and the limited amounts of frozen stock looks for better returns in other world markets.

Currency changes have now made the UK market nearly unviable and with that market taking most of the NZ lamb legs, this product is now being diverted to the EU. Processors suggest lamb returns during the peak slaughter period may be below any of the five

previous seasons, and with wool also back, point to a very difficult year for sheep returns.

Mutton schedules are similar to last year as demand for the product remains firm and slaughter supply is restricted due to plentiful feed.

Reports suggest, however, lamb survival has been very good, but Beef and Lamb NZ in their mid-season outlook say the past year’s drought, coupled with areas of facial eczema, an unhelpful currency, and a softening of beef prices, will drop estimated profit by 13 per cent.

Alliance has announced improved profits, a distributed dividend, a lower debt to $41 million, and after the business transformation plan delivered significant gains, now look well placed to compete strongly with the Silver Fern Farms Chinese partnership.

Blue Sky Meats has had a takeover offer from NZ Binxi (Oamaru) as the rationalisation of the processing sector continues.

Wool A doubled island auction attracted weak demand for all microns except merino, as the Chinese are still only purchasing on an as-needed basis.

The merino indicator lifted to a yearly high at 1587c, but the crossbred and mid micron values hit new lows and there is little optimism for improvement in the short term.

Beef More easing in beef schedules for manufacturing and bull grades, although demand for prime grades remains solid.

Feed and slower growth rates has seen some slaughter supply tallies well behind the norm and saleyard store cattle remain in strong demand.

Weaner dairy calves are now being marketed and have attracted a $65-$90 premium on last year, but prices could ease as prices for the animals they replace, are marketed.

Deer Venison schedules are still adjusting downwards but frozen negotiations are positive and chilled product volumes are growing significantly.

A Chinese venison marketing pilot supported by five companies looks to create a niche marketing opportunity into this new destination.

Scientists announce that deer are now being bred for natural resistance to internal parasites and this should help keep this animal low cost and improve production.

Shifting sheep goes high tech

By Jamie Falloon Sunday was a day of big change on my farm. It was the first day there was a viable and successful alternative to shifting sheep with dogs.

This was not using plastic bags on sticks or rattles, hooning around behind the mob or using the kids as canine substitutes. I was using a drone, and my 13-year-old son was there to show the old fella how to work it.

Usually the full dog team would come for a run and there would be a fair bit of boisterous behaviour and a couple of fights and bit of yelling and hat stomping but we would get the job done.

Fortunately I didn’t drive past the kennels and wasn’t greeted by six sets of eager faces quickly turning to sad and sulky about being left behind.

The drone had previously been used for flying around checking hoggets’ lambing and heifers’ calving.

At docking we would use it to head the mob up to the yards in the lane and to scare the living daylights out of Mark, the shepherd, when it buzzed him.

This job was different. The drone was taking 200 ewes and 300 lambs through a gateway without any assistance from the dogs, or my physical presence.

Now before you start saying the sheep would probably move anyway, they are used to the shift, they had no feed, etc, this

Has the working dog had its day? wasn’t a set-up job. The fences were electric with no power on so the risk of damage was low.

After a simple drone set up, satellite acquisition and some tips on how to fly we got started.

I opened the gate and sent the drone off the 300 metres to the other end of the paddock to start rounding the ewes up the same way a good heading dog would do.

The sheep instantly started moving away from the drone and were heading towards the other end of the paddock in a startled rush.

Quickly – the drone does 75km/h – I whipped the drone around behind them, flared it up and stopped the charging sheep.

With the drone hovering, they moved quietly along the fence towards the gate, with me having

to occasionally whip it out like a heading dog and head the escaping front of the mob with lambs on the break.

Once I got them to the gate we just sat back and watched them file through, with only one lamb using the fence rather than the gateway.

Job done, no dogs, no yelling and swearing at the other five trying to help when you are working one. Instant control of the pressure and speed to do the heading dog’s job. It only misses a bark sound to get the stubborn one moving.

So have the dogs had their dash for good? No way, but it does make the Sunday shifts kind of fun.

Mid Canterbury sheep farmers had a chance to watch their wool being auctioned at the Canterbury A&P Show last week.

It was the first time in 130 years that a South Island Wool Brokers auction had been held off-site and open to the public.

The auctioneers and bidders set up inside the Trade Pavilion and farmers and members of the public could watch and listen to the action.

Around $7 million dollars worth of wool was sold, including that from Mid Canterbury farms Tenahaun and Coldstream.

Farmers encouraged to plant trees

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury farmers with erosion-prone land are being encouraged to think about planting trees, with financial support from the Ministry of Primary Industries.

MPI has announced grants of $1300 a hectare for 81 applicants that have committed to planting 4818ha of trees next winter. Nearly $20 million has been put aside for the life of the programme, which is to plant 15,000ha of new forest by 2020.

The afforestation grant scheme

began last year, when 2900ha was planted.

Associate MPI minister Jo Goodhew said the scheme was “going great guns” and popular with farmers on erosion-prone land or land that was economically marginal.

New forests helped improve the environment, increased carbon storage and boosted regional economic development, she said.

“Right now we are talking a lot about climate change and planting trees is the right thing to do.

We are seeing that when these trees are planted they will im-

prove the environment and erosion-prone land.”

MPI says planting trees to help the environment is a message they want to get out to children via schools, so at the Canterbury A&P Show last week it gave two Cyprus trees and a larch to three different primary schools.

Goodhew said MPI needed to spread the word that it supported those wanting to plant new forests.

Forests must be maintained to a required standard, can be native or exotic trees; carbon credits earned are retained by the Crown.

Beware spring shearing risks

nterbury A&P Show.

at Canty A&P Show Nathan Guy auctioned off a special lot for charity. The lot was donated

by PGG Wrightson, with half the proceeds going to the Maia Health Foundation and the other half to the Canterbury A&P Association to cover the costs of building the purpose-built auction room.

A roster of 5200 bales in the catalogue contained wool from 15 to

40 microns, but was dominated by fine wool lines. Strong wool is most commonly used for carpets and texture manufacturing.

New Zealand Wool Services International Ltd’s CEO John Dawson said the combined North and South Island wool auctions last week offered 11,800 bales with a 71 per cent clearance and most prices easing.

With shearing getting under way, former world champion shearer Sir David Fagan is encouraging farmers to work with their shearers to manage injury risks.

Shearing means long hours and the increased risk of back injuries, sprains, strains and hand wounds – last year, 129 people suffered severe injuries while shearing.

“Contractors who shear or crutch thousands of sheep each year are generally well set up to manage risks,” says Fagan, fivetime individual world champion and seven-time world team champion.

“However, shearing gear needs to be well-maintained, and if you’re upgrading the shearing plant, consider a safety sensor with a cut-out switch.

“Farmers should also ensure their stock are fasted and empty before shearers arrive.

“A full animal is heavier and awkward to handle and increases the chance of an injury to the shearer.”

Sir David Fagan Fagan encouraged farmers to check the tracks to the woolshed are safe for shearers’ vehicles and ensure the woolshed steps aren’t slippery.

“A safe and clean working envi-

ronment with basic facilities such as toilets and wash basins is also a good idea.”

WorkSafe’s Sector Lead for Agriculture, Al McCone, says farmers and shearers need to take the time to check all gear before shearing gets under way.

“It’s really important to make sure everyone takes extra care when operating equipment like the wool press and grinders,” he said.

“Talk with your shearers about the best techniques for handling and shearing sheep, what the risks around the shed are, and what that means for the people and equipment the farm provides.

“Everyone in the woolshed needs to keep health and safety front of mind.

“The checks and conversations might take an hour or two of your time, but if you, your workers or a member of your shearing gang are laid low with a back injury, that’s going to have a much bigger impact on your bottom line.”

All Hallows’ Eve a British celebration

BY KATHLEEN STRINGER

B

y the time you read this, the last retail event before Christmas will have passed.

Possibly you didn’t buy decorations or festoon your home with pitch forks and slime.

You or your children perhaps didn’t wear a mask or scary costume to roam the neighbourhood, but perhaps you did get prepared and purchased lollies for other adventurous trick or treaters.

It does seem, that of all the retail pushes, Halloween polarises people the most. Some get into the spirit (no pun intended), while others see it as another piece of American culture we don’t really need or have any connection with. However, the truth is that All Hallows’ Eve was a direct import from the British Isles and was celebrated long before America was “discovered”.

In fact, far from being a recent import, Ashburton celebrated All Hallows’ Eve as early as 1904.

In October that year the Ashburton County Scottish Society was established.

They decided that their first event was to be a Halloween party.

While today that decision might surprise people, the Ashburton Guardian of the time expressed no great astonishment, instead calling it an ancient Scottish festival.

At the Orange Hall The society’s first Halloween night was held in the Orange Hall, which was also home to the Masonic Lodge. Its popularity, with over 250 present, suggested that the following year the larger Oddfellows Hall would be required.

The newspaper stated that many were dressed in highland attire and enjoyed the performances of highland dancer, recited poems, songs and musical interludes.

After the crowd had taken part in a few reels themselves, the amusements took place. A supper included oaten cakes and tea (how very unScottish) to end a most successful night.

There were no witches or trick or treats, although one lady did push a man’s head under the water while he was “dooking” for apples.

The following year the society held a bazaar in conjunction with “a Halloween” for the children.

The bazaar was held to raise money for costumes for the pipe band, which the society had assisted in forming that year.

The following year’s activities seem to imply that the Halloween was largely an event for the bairns, with entertainments for the adults less of a focus.

The last reference I can locate is a comment that there would be no event in 1915, due to other activities in the town in connection with the war.

Games and oat cakes The games and oat cakes sound all very jolly and far removed from the scary or evil themes associated with Halloween today. But somewhere in between the ghouls and oat cakes is the history behind the festival.

Copies of many of the photos on this page are available for purchase from the Ashburton Museum Halloween is a Celtic festival closely related to Samhain – the same harvest festival which for many years was a feature of some churches’ calendar and still celebrated in America as Thanksgiving.

Knowing that it was an autumn

festival of abundance makes a little more sense as to why Ashburton children bobbed for apples or roasted nuts and American children still spend hours making Jack o lanterns out of pumpkins.

Ghosts and goblins So where do the ghosts and

goblins come in? Apart from being a time of harvest, Samhain also marked the moment when the gap between the world of mortals and that of the dead became blurred.

While some of the dead were friendly and were invited to share a meal, others were malign and could easily cause mishap if not placated by food or some other offering – hence the trick or treat.

As with most such celebrations, the Christian Church transformed the night into All Souls Day and All Saints Day, where many churchgoers still pray for their departed friends and family.

So how did it become so Americanised? Again we have to blame the Celtic immigrants for bringing it to the New World.

As with St Patrick’s Day, the American version is much more “vigorous” than the original.

Perhaps homesick Irish and Scots made an extra special effort to maintain the traditions while those at home let it wither.

Certainly the aims of the Ashburton Scottish Society referred to “keeping up the interest in the old associations, dress, culture, music and literature” of Scotland.

In a melting pot of cultures it was

important that they kept the old ways of home alive.

Jack o lanterns All this may sound quite unlikely given the general perception that Halloween is, like Thanksgiving Day, as American as apple pie. Certainly when one sees the “on special” cauldrons, sour lollies, witches outfits and other paraphernalia that lie neglected in local stores, there doesn’t seem too much about the practice that shouts Scotland.

However, the one item that most symbolises Halloween is the Jack o lantern – a carved pumpkin used to frighten away evil spirits.

The pumpkin was an American adaptation of the tradition in Scotland where pumpkins don’t thrive, instead, their vegetable of choice was the much more sinister looking turnip.

I’m unsure if those long ago bairns of Ashburton who roamed the streets shouting “trick or treat” or who were dressed in anything other than plaid, but I am sure there would have been at least one turnip in the hall – a chilling reminder of the All Hallows’ Eve traditions and the food of Home.

All Blacks sweep awards

Leary lifts Peach Cup

The All Blacks have performed a clean sweep at the World Rugby awards, winning the player, coach and team of the year awards.

Beauden Barrett has been named player of the year, an award a New Zealand player has now won for five straight years.

It caps off a fine year for the All Blacks first five-eighth who has stepped into the coveted 10 jersey with ease after playing a bench role previously for the side.

The All Blacks won team of the year award for the seventh straight year.

The All Blacks were up against England and the Olympic champion Fiji sevens side.

It is the tenth time the All Blacks have claimed the best team award since the awards began in 2001.

Coach Steve Hansen has also won the coach of the year gong for the fourth time.

Hansen has beaten England’s Eddie Jones and Fiji sevens coach Ben Ryan for the award.

Last year Hansen controversially missed out on coach of the year to Australia’s Michael Cheika.

“I’m hugely proud and humbled to receive this award,” said Barrett.

“It’s a team game and I accept it on behalf of the team.”

Hansen, who has previously won the award in 2012, 2013 and 2014 said the 2016 side have done well considering the international retirements of Richie McCaw, Dan Carter, Conrad Smith, Ma’a Nonu, Tony Woodcock and Keven Mealamu.

“We lost a few big trees after 2011 but that makes space for new guys to flourish,” he said.

Former All Blacks coach Graham Henry is the only person

to win the award more times than Hansen, with a record five awards.

England’s Maro Itoje was named breakthrough player of the year, beating out All Blacks Ardie Savea and Anton LienertBrown.

In other awards England’s Sarah Hunter won World Rugby Women’s Player of the Year, an award Black Fern Fiao’o Fa’amausili was nominated for.

Seabelo Senatla (South Africa) was named World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year. Charlotte Caslick (Australia) won Women’s Sevens Player of the Year beating Black Ferns Sevens ace Portia Woodman.

Caslick was hugely influen-

tial in Australia capturing both the World Series and Olympic crowns.

Ireland’s Jamie Heaslip won the try of the year award for his effort against Italy.

All Blacks halfback TJ Perenara was nominted for his effort against Argentina during the Rugby Championship.

Female referee Alhambra Nievas of Spain and South Africa’s Rasta Rasivhenge were collectively named referee of the year.

Schmidt bracing team for blacklash With the distraction of a test against Canada now behind him, Ireland’s coach Joe Schmidt is bracing for a New Zealand “blacklash” in this weekend’s mouth-watering return clash with the All Blacks in Dublin.

“We probably got them at an opportune time [in Chicago],” Schmidt told reporters after Ireland downed Canada 52-21 in the Irish capital at the weekend.

“Perhaps we surprised them a little bit.

“I think they will come full strength next week. Fully loaded.”

After making history in Chicago last weekend with their first victory over New Zealand in 111 years, it was difficult to escape the impression that Ireland’s focus – even during the eight-try demolition of a limited Canada team – was almost exclusively on the rematch with the All Blacks.

That much was apparent from

the team sheet for the Canada test which featured a full house of 15 changes from the side that beat the All Blacks.

While a crowd of 50,000 still turned up at the Aviva Stadium to cheer on the B team, there was definitely a feeling that this was merely the filling in a far meatier sandwich.

Not that there were not a few hoping to impress Schmidt sufficiently that they might force their way into contention for this Sunday’s clash. Some of them might even have done that.

Keith Earls looked lively throughout, captain-on-thenight Peter O’Mahony played the full 80 minutes and got stronger as the game wore on, as did his fellow flanker Sean O’Brien – who like O’Mahony is returning from a lengthy injury layoff.

O’Brien made 13 carries in a barnstorming display and must now be in Schmidt’s thoughts, es-

pecially with Jordi Murphy ruled out.

Schmidt admitted he would be having sleepless nights trying to get the balance just right for a fixture which has already gripped the nation.

“Back row, the back three, even the front three,” he said, when asked which areas in particular he was looking at. “It will hopefully be the right squad to give the All Blacks a good game.

“One of the things that we just do is say ‘right, this is what we believe might work, let’s commit to this’ and try to put it together as best we can,” he said.

“Probably get distracted about what our opponents are doing and what they might bring.

“There will be an awareness of that but a focus on what we’re doing because in the end, it is quite an intense preparation period.

“We have a light training on Monday to get ourselves organ-

ised, train Tuesday, then have our team training on Thursday when everyone knows what they are doing.

“Then you are into the game after the captain’s run on a Friday.

“If you spend too much time distracted looking externally then you miss a little bit of the precious time you’ve got together to just focus on what needs to be done with an awareness of what they’re likely to bring.”

Irish media are equally wary of All Blacks retribution with the Dublin-based Independent newspaper warning of the need to “withstand the fury of a wounded New Zealand”.

“Despite Schmidt’s brilliance and his players’ stellar form, many fear Ireland’s win in America will rouse an almighty response out of the All Blacks when they come to Dublin,” warned the newspaper.

Nigel Leary timed his run to perfection when winning Tinwald Cycling Club’s Peach Cup 45km handicap event around the Methven block on Sunday.

Leary and his co-markers worked hard to find the front inside the final 10km but their job still wasn’t over.

A solid group of riders had formed behind them and were steadily chopping into their lead.

Leary and two of his co-markers, Michelle Davidson and Lucy Kirwan, made a bid for glory in the final 2km, getting to the line with three seconds to spare ahead of the chasing bunch.

Davidson and Kirwan were rewarded for their efforts, securing second and third places respectively. Aaron Fitzsimmons led the chasing group to claim fourth place with Paul Macfie and Ross Templeton rounding out the top six.

Scratch marker Tony Ward took fastest time honours, riding the course in 64m42secs, with Michael Templeton and Nathan Tew securing second and third time.

The juniors and division two contested a 15km handicap event.

Front markers Jacob Fitzsimmons and Emma Begg rode strongly, keeping the chasing riders at bay.

Fitzsimmons had the fastest finish to claim victory with Begg storming into second place while Alyssa McGinity had a fine ride to take the final podium position.

Sam Cuttle was fourth, with Josh Harkness and Lily Davidson rounding out the top half dozen.

Back marker Mitchell Fitzsimmons secured fastest time honours, covering the distance in 23m49secs, with Oliver Davidson and Ethan Titheridge taking second and third times.

Jacquie Fitzsimmons rounded a good day for the family, winning division two from Al Gilchrist and Beth Begg.

Next week the club will contest a 48km handicap event around the Wakanui Beach block.

Broncos down Saints Adam Gotsis played a part in an extraordinary effort by Denver NFL team-mate Justin Simmons who blocked an extra-point attempt which led to Broncos safety Will Parks running 84 yards to beat New Orleans 25-23.

The Saints appeared poised to win after Drew Brees threw a touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks with 1:22 left at the Superdome, tying the score at 23, pending the extra-point kick.

But on the attempt by Wil Lutz, Simmons hurdled the centre and easily blocked the kick. The ball bounced into Parks’ hands and he ran down the left sideline for the two-point defensive score. - AAP

In brief Breakers in overtime The New Zealand Breakers have managed a rare win at Perth Arena, beating the Wildcats 87-86 in overtime yesterday. It wasn’t pretty, but wins against the Wildcats in Perth rarely are. Corey Webster went coast to coast and scored a lay-up with 1.40 seconds left on the clock to give the Breakers the lead. Jaron Johnson’s three-point attempt on the buzzer wasn’t to be and it rimmed out.

Bullets beat blackout Cairns Taipans have lost their appeal against Brisbane’s NBL victory after their match on Sunday was abandoned with just over a minute to go due to a blackout. The Taipans were trailing by eight points with 1:37 remaining in the game when the Cairns CBD suffered a blackout, plunging the Convention Centre into darkness. Officials tried desperately to restore power, but the decision was made to abandon the match. Under FIBA rules, if a match is unable to be completed, the team that holds the lead is awarded the victory.

Golfers brave the wet

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Tinwald were not weather with on

Golf Club members deterred by the dismal they had to contend Saturday as the club

hosted its annual 19th hole pairs tournament.

Around 35 pairs battled the wet weather, but Brock Peddie and Michael Thomas adapted best to take top honours in the

men’s section while Bronwyn Flannery and Jenny Harrex were the best of the mixed and women’s pairs.

Tournament organiser Paul Hefford said the turnout was

pleasing, considering the poor weather.

The amount raised by the tournament for the general upkeep of club facilities will be calculated later this week.

Hamilton hunting down Rosberg By stephen Wade Lewis Hamilton won yesterday’s rain-delayed Brazil Grand Prix at Interlagos, and Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg again settled for second.

It’s the third straight race that Rosberg has been the runner-up behind Hamilton.

Is Rosberg frustrated? Not likely.

If he finishes second again to Hamilton in the season finale on November 27 in Abu Dhabi – or even third – it will be enough to bring him his first drivers’ title.

“I can live with second today,” Rosberg said, ceding the stage again to the Englishman, whose victory was his first in Brazil after failing in nine other attempts.

“I was hoping for the win, but second is OK.” The German, whose father Keke Rosberg won the title 34 years ago, still leads the overall

season standings with 367 points to 355 for Hamilton.

Drivers get 25 points for a victory, 18 for second, 15 for third, and 12 for fourth.

The awards go all the way to 1 point for 10th place.

Yesterday’s race was stopped twice by crashes in driving rain during the first 28 of 71 laps.

All but a half-dozen of the early laps were run behind a safety car with drivers struggling to see through tyre spray and struggling to avoid hydroplaning in standing water.

The second half was less eventful, but still was slowed by another crash and another spell under the safety car.

Hamilton, the three-time series champion, said it looked tougher than it actually was.

“This was one of the easier ones,” he said of his victory.

Hamilton said he was in “the zone” for the entire race, despite

Lewis Hamilton wins in Brazil all the stops and starts.

“I was chilling up front,” Hamilton said.

“When it rains, it’s usually a good day for me.”

“I’m hunting,” he added.

“All I can do is what I’m doing now. Abu Dhabi is usually a good track for me.”

The victory was the 52nd of Hamilton’s career, pushing him to No. 2 ahead of Alain Prost with 51. Michael Schumacher leads with 91.

The race was run behind a safety car for the first seven laps with rain pounding down and drivers trying to navigate through spray and puddles.

Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel, talking on his radio, said conditions were too dangerous. He suggested the crashes could have been worse under the treacherous conditions.

“We need to stop the race,” he said.

“It doesn’t work. How many people do you want to crash?”

Hamilton led through the first 20 laps, followed by Rosberg, Max Verstappen of Red Bull, which was the final finish.

Youngster Cameron Davis will head into this week’s Australian Open full of confidence and $130,000 richer after finishing in a tie for 15th in his US PGA Tour debut. The 21-year-old Australian closed the OHL Classic in Mexico with a oneunder final round to be 12-under for the tournament. He finished nine shots behind American Pat Perez, who recorded a two-shot victory over compatriot Gary Woodland with Scotland’s Russell Knox a shot back in third.

Steyn out of tour South Africa’s great fast bowler Dale Steyn is out of the tour of New Zealand because of a shoulder injury. The 33-year-old Steyn, who has taken more than 400 test wickets, had surgery in Cape Town and will need at least six months of rehabilitation before starting to bowl again. South Africa begin their tour of New Zealand in midFebruary with a T20 game, and play five one-dayers and three test matches.

India saves draw Alastair Cook’s 30th test hundred helped pile the pressure on as India had to hang on against England’s spinners to salvage a draw in the hard-fought series opener in Rajkot.

England made all the running throughout an often attritional contest but after Cook and Haseeb Hameed’s opening stand of 180 allowed them to declare on three for 260 to set India 310 to win, there was not quite enough time or pitch deterioration to land a knockout blow. Virat Kohli finished unbeaten on 49 out of six for 172.

Aussies in trouble Rain looms as the biggest roadblock to South Africa claiming a series victory in the second Test, with Australia again losing a wicket in the opening over of their innings. The Proteas further sapped Australia’s spirit on day three, building a first-innings lead of 241 runs after an impressive ton from Quinton de Kock. Australia were 1-0 when rain forced players from the field yesterday.

In brief

■ MOVING ON

Cuneen on his big OE Racha Cuneen will be keeping tabs on the star filly La Diosa from afar in the coming weeks.

The Canterbury apprentice is looking forward to his first overseas riding experience, but he’ll be staying in touch with the leading three-year-old’s trainers Mandy and Matt Brown.

Cuneen, who partnered La Diosa to an impressive victory in Saturday’s Gr.1 NZ 1000 Guineas, is preparing for a trip to Malaysia.

“I’m still waiting for a visa and when that comes through I’ll be going for three months,” he said.

“I’ve always wanted to stretch out a bit and explore and I’m being sponsored by the trainer Bon-

M2

ny Ng. If I’m wanted here then I will be happy to fly back and ride La Diosa.”

Cuneen is now in his sixth season of riding and, by his own admission, immaturity issues prevented him from making an earlier impact.

“I was never settled or committed earlier on and I made mistakes and learned from them,” he said.

“I grew up in Orewa and my step-dad was into his horses.

“He had a few trotters and it was him who suggested that I got into racing.

“I was half the size I am now so I gave it a go – I never liked school.

“I started with Kevin Hughes

and Dean Wiles at Pukekohe and after about three years I shifted to Cambridge to Brett McDonald.

“I was a probationer there for a year and had a spell with John Wheeler as well before I was apprenticed to Trent Busuttin.

“I then decided to move south to give myself a fresh start and I went to Michael Pitman and when I moved to Neill Ridley things really started to go well for me.”

Cuneen, 24, has now ridden 103 winners and he finished runnerup on Miss Seton Sands in The Telegraph earlier this year before his breakthrough success at Group One level aboard La Diosa at Riccarton.

Shillelagh transfers New Zealand-bred and owned mare Shillelagh will further her Australian career from the stable of Chris Waller. She joined the champion trainer’s team following her fourth placing in the Gr.3 Summoned Stakes at Sandown on Saturday.

Shillelagh’s previous four appearances in Melbourne for Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards resulted in a win at Caulfield and a runner-up finish in Hong Kong - NZME

No Xtravagant plans

Racha Cuneen

The future racing programme of the dual Group One winner Xtravagant has yet to be confirmed.

The Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards-trained four-year-old has returned to work following a break after his disappointing two-start Melbourne campaign. “He’s been back for a couple of weeks, but no plans have been made,” stable racing manager Brad Taylor said.- NZME

Your Stars

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): If you choose to speak up on matters (and there’s much worth considering that will pull you in the opposite direction) then speak clearly and from a place of total knowledge.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Even those who don’t believe in intuition have experienced it. They chalk it up to their brain working faster.

Maybe so. Or maybe it’s just working deeper and wider. Whatever it is, you’ll get it today.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Strategy is not needed in all relationships. Open, comfortable relationships are precious because you don’t need to overthink anything. Those relationships require care, too: Think of it as maintenance.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ve developed ways of working around the people who stand in your way. When these are the same people you love with all your heart, it’s harder – but still possible, if that’s what’s necessary.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): This is your life. You’re sharing it, but still... it’s yours. What about an adventure by yourself? That hasn’t happened recently, if only because you haven’t made it happen. Now is as good a time as any!

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The “What if?” game is a good way to break out of the confines holding you today. Get thinking about those “ifs,” because some of them may actually be true.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Impulsiveness can be a good quality. You’re not usually given to act on impulse, though you’ll definitely feel them tapping your psyche today. To feel it is one thing. To make your move is quite another.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Whomever it is you’re mad at, make up. Don’t do it for them; do it for you. Your energy flying in that direction could be better spent. There are opportunities coming your way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): It’s the simple things.

Love people who love you back. Eat foods that agree with you. Move your body and you’ll move your life. You’ll think better when you drink more water.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Not everyone is going to be happy; that’s a given. And yet, if you’re doing your best, isn’t it really (SET ITAL) their (END ITAL) fault for setting an unrealistic expectation?

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You don’t have to have all the answers. You don’t even have to have one of them. Before you answer, think about how your answer is likely to change things.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Here’s some great news: Your best is totally good enough! You have moxie. You have style. You have guts. And you’re in the perfect place to use all of that for good.

Marshall to help Milford Benji Marshall believes he can help Brisbane playmaker Anthony Milford reclaim his mojo after impressing at his first training session with new NRL club yesterday. Thrown a lifeline

by Broncos coach Wayne Bennett, the veteran said he hoped to help spark Milford’s running game in 2017.

“I think if I can give some advice it is what I have lost in the last couple of years – don’t be caught being the ball player. Play to your strength and I think that is his running game,” Marshall said.

Lewis ups the pace

Lewis Dray will make the step up to the 300cc Lightweight Production class for the 2017 national superbike championships after winning the 250cc production title earlier this year.

Dray, who will race on his Yamaha R3, made the decision following last season’s successful campaign.

The 20-year-old is still adapting to racing on a more powerful bike, as he gears up for his first

outing of the season at Ruapuna on January 7.

“It’s totally different, we can change things on the bikes now, we couldn’t last year,” said Dray.

“Speed’s one difference and they handle a lot better, so the corner speed’s a lot higher.”

Dray has also been doing plenty of work off the race track, ensuring his body can withstand the physical demands of the 300cc class.

“I’ve had to get fitter, it’s faster, more strain on the body – I’ve

got my new dog now so I go running with him,” he said.

Dray was crowned 2016 NZ 250cc superbike production champion after winning three of his four races at Auckland’s Hampton Downs in March.

With 25 points allocated for a win, 20 for second and 16 for third, Dray knew that his 14-point advantage over his nearest rival, Auckland’s Jacob Stroud, could have easily gone up in smoke with just one minor error.

But he held his nerve on the

unfamiliar track to podium in all four races, and remove any doubt with an eventual 56-point lead at the top.

The former Ashburton College student then went on to place sixth overall at the Yamaha R3 Cup at Morgan Park Raceway in Queensland.

Despite it being his first season in the 300cc Lightweight Production class, Dray is still eyeing a podium finish.

“If we could get top three I would be absolutely stoked.”

World championship major target for Paddon As Hayden Paddon blasts along twisting dirt tracks outside Coffs Harbour this week the steelyeyed Kiwi driver is rocketing his way to the World Rally Championship.

Not this year and maybe not

the next, he reckons, but he’s in with a big shot for 2018.

His hot little Hyundai i20 can accelerate from rest to 100km/h in 3.5 seconds, faster than many Porsches.

Kennard are running fourth in this year’s championship behind three-time champ Sebastien Ogier, whose Volkswagen has an unassailable title lead.

But for Paddon, 29, the race has just started.

“We are going about things step by step and sticking to our plan,” Paddon said. “I think 2017 is still too early but we will be giving it everything. We are targeting 2018 to fight for the championship.”

Shaun Johnson will have special support in the Four Nations final on Monday, with girlfriend Kayla Cullen making the journey to Europe for the match. The Silver Ferns player had booked tickets for the trip some time ago, but had them on hold, pending the result of Australia’s clash with England yesterday. With the Kangaroos winning that match 36-18 – to eliminate the Lions and confirm the Kiwis’ place in the final – Cullen can now go ahead with her travel arrangements.

Best in the world Olympic champion Charlotte Caslick has been named the world women’s rugby sevens player of the year. The 21-year-old starred in Australia’s Olympic gold medal-winning campaign in Rio in August. Caslick, who beat out New Zealand’s Portia Woodman and England captain Emily Scarratt for the gong, also played in Australia’s maiden women’s sevens world series title.
