Showing support for our farmers BY SUSAN SANDYS

Hampstead heartbreaker P17
Mid Canterbury farmers and their families shut the door on a bleak day yesterday to share in some warmth and hospitality at the Ashburton Racecourse. Leaving behind their gumboots and on-farm worries, more than 300 attended the Farming Families Day at the Races. As temperatures hovered around six to eight degrees and it rained lightly, there was plenty of conversation, raffle prize draws, children’s entertainment and food and drink inside under the grandstand. Attendees took time to also pop outside and see the harness racing under way, or view it on the screens inside. It may have only been one day, but it was one day which meant a lot to those
who attended. “I think it’s absolutely wonderful,” said Ashburton farmer Monique Smith, one of the more than 300 who turned out. “Even the feeling when we came in, how everyone is so welcoming, and it’s not very often you get an event like this,” Smith said. Compere Craig Wiggins came up with the idea for the day, after the mycoplasma bovis crisis hit and following dismal weather in June. “I realised that community spirit needs to be boosted by having community events,” Wiggins said. Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust chairman Peter Reveley said it was a great day, and representative of how the whole community was going to have to work together in the face of mycoplasma bovis.
The repercussions of the disease were far reaching, and altogether one third of farms between beef, dairy and grazing were affected in some way. “We need everybody to look after everybody else,” Reveley said. “If you know of someone you should go and visit, just phone and go and visit them.” Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon and wife Rose were serving at the bar. Falloon said it was fantastic to see the community come together and show their support. “A huge number of prizes have been donated by businesses (for the raffles) around the district, and I think that goes to show the huge amount of goodwill towards our farmers, and the desire to see them through what’s a pretty tough time.”

■ ABANDONED CARS

Abandoned cars an eyesore
Compliance reprieve for farmers
By Katie todd
Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz
A car mysteriously abandoned by the Ealing Hall for two months is raising eyebrows from passers-by – but it’s far from the only one in the area. It may soon join approximately 90 abandoned cars that have been dealt to by the Ashburton District Council in just the past financial year alone. The silver sedan has been deteriorating on the side of the road for two months, and one local said they are concerned that it has become a complete eyesore to visitors. Each day they drive past it, it is getting more and more damaged, she said. According to the council, any car parked on council roads or land for more than seven days is also breaching the Transport and Parking Bylaw. Under general protocol the council would investigate and attempt to identify the owner, said a spokesperson, so that the vehicle can be removed or towed. “If the owner does not remove the vehicle, council would then tow it away and invoice the owner for costs,” And those thinking of abandoning a car on a council reserve are warned they could be penalised for littering. “If a vehicle is left on a reserve or other similar public property, it will be treated the same as

Littering Act.” If a vehicle left anywhere is found to be stolen, it becomes a police matter, and the owner or their insurance company are notified, Senior Sergeant Phil Dean said.

Police were yesterday checking on the Ealing Hall car to determine if it was stolen. A district council spokesperson said they would always encourage people to report abandoned cars.
■ RESCUE
Lucky to be alive after night on Mt Ruapehu A man is lucky to be alive after spending a cold, wet night on Mt Ruapehu with a dislocated knee. Police said the 21-year-old set off for a day hike on the mountain on Saturday and was rescued about 1pm yesterday. Police were called about 5pm on Saturday after he did not return from his hike.
A search base was set up at Turangi and four search teams, around 12 people, searched overnight until 4am. The search resumed at 7am and the man was found at around 12.50pm yesterday. He was cold, had a dislocated knee and was flown to Taupo Hospital. A RNZAF NH90 helicopter,

the Greenlea Rescue Helicopter, Land Search and Rescue personnel, staff from Tukino Skifield and Ruapehu Alpine Lifts and local iwi, Tuwharetoa, all took part in the search. Taupo Search and Rescue Coordinator Senior Constable Barry Shepherd said the search teams did a wonderful job.
“Conditions were less than ideal, with very little visibility, rain and snow, so all credit to the guys and girls at the sharp end. “It’s a timely reminder to other trampers and walkers in the area to make sure you are well prepared for the conditions, let people know where you are going and stick to your plans.” - NZME
Mid Canterbury farmers dealing with mycoplasma bovis are being cut some slack by Environment Canterbury around compliance. The regional council says some farmers will be unable to meet their resource consent conditions due to the disease and ECan will work with those affected on a case-by-case basis. Senior manager service delivery Nick Daniels said it was a stressful time for many. “And we understand some will not be able to comply with all resource consent conditions because of this unexpected disease. For example, farmers under legal controls may not be able to move cattle off their home property for winter grazing, resulting in the potential for higher nutrient losses than what their resource consent allows.” Daniels said ECan would work with farmers and independent farm auditors on a case-by-case basis – this includes those who have been under legal controls from Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) as a result of mycoplasma bovis, as well as those who haven’t been under formal restrictions but are still impacted. Ecan could help affected farmers by delaying Farm Environment Plan audits by 12 months or delaying the completion of some consent conditions. Any Mid Canterbury farmer worried about complying with their resource consents in light of mycoplasma bovis should get in touch with the Ashburton zone team or ask for a referral from their MPI case manager. “We do not have the list of farms impacted by Mycoplasma bovis as this is confidential information held by MPI. That is why we are asking impacted farmers to contact us so we can ensure they get the support they need to manage their resource consents,” Daniels said.

■ HIGHLAND DANCING CHAMPIONSHIPS
Canterbury dancers dominate By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Highland dancers from throughout New Zealand battled for the honour of Champion of Champions yesterday, resulting in some exceptional performances. About 150 males and females aged from five to 24 years took to the stage at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre in a variety of competitions as part of the annual New Zealand Highland and National Dancing Championships. There were the Canterbury West Coast championships and age category events, as well as the main New Zealand championships where dancers under 18 and over 18 scored points across 10 different dances. Their rankings from these performances go to make up the overall ranking for the nation’s top 10, which was decided by late yesterday. The winner of the over 18 category would gain the most coveted title of all, the Champion of Champions. As the day drew to a close yesterday, prior to the announcement of results, organisers were stunned by the high quality of talent over the previous four days. “It’s very close, close competition,” said Ashburton National and Highland Dancing Association vicepresident Megan Christie. “The standard is extremely high.” And at the end of the day the first and second placegetters came through, showing Canterbury dancers dominated. Julie Hawke School of Dance student Lewis Gibson of Christchurch retained the Champion of Champion title after he won it last year. Runner-up was Angus Hendry from Christchurch. In the under 18s, Britney Moore of Ashburton was runner up, while Brooke Smith from Timaru was the champion.

Flooding causes roads to close in Auckland; trees come down Wet weather and gale-force winds are wreaking havoc across Auckland and the north, closing roads, felling trees, flooding properties and causing power cuts. Downpours hit the north early yesterday, bringing 34.5mm/h to some Auckland suburbs while easterly gusts reached up to 113km/h in the Hauraki Gulf. Albany recorded 31.3mm of rain between 7am and 8am yesterday – the third-wettest hour since records for that area began almost nine years ago, according to Niwa.
The Coromandel ranges experienced persistent rain with a 20hour accumulation of 107.5mm recorded since 7pm on Saturday. The heavy rain brought plenty of surface flooding to low-lying areas, causing disruptions on some of Auckland’s busiest roads. Motorists were delayed on the Northern Motorway with the brief closures of Oteha Valley Road on-ramp and two of its lanes in Rosedale. Two state highways closures occurred yesterday in Waikato.

Flooding at Goldfields Road closed SH25 and a fallen tree blocked traffic in both directions on SH28, Whites Road. Northlanders, Aucklanders and those along the coast in the Bay of Plenty were warned to watch out for flooding. Damaging gusts of 130km/h were expected in Coromandel Peninsula, Bay of Plenty from Whakatane westwards, and Waikato, according to MetService. Northeast gales of 110km/h were expected in exposed places

in Auckland and Great Barrier Island. Heavy rain warnings remain in place for Auckland, Coromandel, Bay of Plenty west of Maketu and for Gisborne from Tolaga Bay northwards according to MetService. Early yesterday, Northern Fire Communications shift manager Daniel Nicholson said they had attended 15 call-outs in about an hour and half, and that flooding was affecting houses. A tree had fallen through a
house in Whangaparaoa in the North Shore, Nicholson said. “Nobody was injured but the house was severely damaged,” he said. The callouts had been steady since 7am but they were not unmanageable, he said. The owners of the house said the tree came down during torrential rain and had crashed into their home of 18 years. Toppling trees and fierce winds were causing small power blackouts. - NZME

■ POP UP PLAYGROUND
An inflatable wonderland BY KATIE TODD
KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
An Ashburton business owner has had the bold idea to transform Tinwald Memorial Hall into an inflatable wonderland, to celebrate the winter school break. Pop Up Playground owner Loren Levy is bringing the best of her company’s castles to one big, bouncy event on the last two days of the holidays. Having seen the joy that bouncy castles give local kids, Levy said it was a matter of “why not”. “We thought why not put a few together, see how it goes,” she said. “It’s pretty exciting. We’ve never done anything like this before … and if it goes well we will do it more often.” As well as a range of inflatables – including a new one never hired out before – the company will be supplying tasty food and hot coffee. Adults are welcome to join in and have a jump too, Levy said. “It’s going to be fun!” Pop Up Playground launched in 2017 as a means of combatting a “lack of activities to do in Ashburton”. Levy has three children aged three, six and eight herself, and is eyeing up the goal of setting up an indoor playground on permanent premises. They have around 14 inflatables for hire, including a “sticky wall”, minion castle, big slide, “bungee run”, and even zorb balls. Pop Up Playground will be holding their event at the Tinwald Memorial Hall on July 20 and 21. Entry is free for spectators and under 2s, and $10 per jumping person.
School holiday makers can jump into an exciting new event next week, thanks to the imagination of one Ashburton business owner. PHOTO SUPPLIED
■ AUCKLAND FIREBUG
FIFA WORLD CUP
Firebug closer to being caught The man who dangerously attempted to light fires at an Auckland petrol station may be closer to being caught, the station’s owner says. GAS Swanson owner-operator Chaudhry Zahid released security camera footage on Saturday showing a tall Caucasian man spending 30 minutes attempting to light fires at a pump and damaging the pump screens. If the attempted arson attack in the early hours of that morning had worked, it would have been “very bad” as there was 25,000 litres of petrol in the station tanks at the time, Zahid said. He reported the damage to police and released video footage on social media in the hope it could lead to the man’s arrest.
Police yesterday said they do not yet have any updates in the case. However, Zahid said a person had been in contact with him to say he recognised the firebug and knew where he lived. The person said the firebug was a flatmate of one of their friends. Zahid passed the details on to police not OR long after 11am yesterday. However, damage to the station’s pumps GET will be repaired today and Zahid will have Engine Capacity 27.2cc to claim the costs from insurance and pay the excess fee. “He destroyed my pump (screens) and so I also have to explain to each customer what happened because they cannot read how much fuel is coming into their cars and how much they are paying,” Zahid said. - NZME

■ MT HUTT
Skier numbers skyrocket
By SuSan SandyS
it was fantastic to have stable weather and good trail coverage, and skiers could not be happier. It was particularly great conditions for the school holidays, and there was a week of fine weather ahead. This weekend just gone was the middle weekend of New Zealand and some Australian state school holidays and the last weekend of some Australian state school holidays, and had been the busiest so far this year, with about 5000 guests altogether. McKenzie said the numbers for this ski season had yet to be analysed, however, he suspected much of the 25 per cent increase on last year had been due to more guests from overseas. They had been attracted by factors such as all lifts opening from day one due to new snowmaking equipment, terrain park opening earlier, marketing of Mt Hutt as New Zealand’s awardwinning number one ski area, and stable weather conditions. The ski area has been making the most of the big crowds, and held a retro day yesterday.
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Long-range forecasts holding the promise of big snowfalls have failed to arrive for Mt Hutt this year. Manager James McKenzie is describing 2018 as a “lean snow year” so far, but that has not affected guest numbers, and they are up a massive 25 per cent on last year. “It’s been a great start to the season, in spite of lean snow conditions,” he said yesterday. Skiers and snowboarders had instead been revelling in the relatively stable weather conditions and high coverage of trails and off-trail areas due to an upgraded snowmaking system. McKenzie said the ski area had received many a long-range forecast this season for 50 centimetres of snow in one week’s time, but none had eventuated to date, and the last decent snowfall was just 15 centimetres on June 24. McKenzie said it would be good to get more snow on top of the current 50 to 90 centimetre snow base, but at the same time

■ EROSION
In brief
Memorial topples into sea A Coromandel monument marking the visit of Captain Cook to New Zealand has fallen into the sea, highlighting the area’s problems with erosion, a local says. Captain Cook visited the area in Mercury Bay, in November 1769, anchoring off what is now known as Cooks Beach, near Whitianga. The British explorer spent a few days in the bay to observe the transit of Mercury – an event that was later commemorated with an inscription on a cairn of Coromandel granite. However, the memorial toppled into the sea yesterday after lapping waves ate away at the land it sat on, local resident Danny Phillips says. “The road behind this memorial will be the next to be damaged or lost if nothing is done,” he said. “While the monument itself is not critically important it is a symbol and trigger point that will wake people up to a lack ownership around this significant issue.” He believes the Thames-Coromandel District Council could have been done more to save the monument and the bank of land it sat on. “People around here have been letting them know for some
Few call-outs Cold weather has had a positive spin-off for the district’s firefighters, with very few callouts. Both Rakaia and Ashburton received one callout each over the weekend, but both were false alarms. Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade members responded to smoke at Fairton, however it was from an outdoor cooking fire. Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade members responded to an alarm activation to a business in the town.
Victim named Police have named the homicide victim found below McLaren Falls Bridge last week. He was 26-year-old Mitchell Curtis Rehua Paterson, of Ngaruawahia. Detective Inspector Lewis Warner said Paterson’s body was found in the water below McLaren Falls Bridge, on McLaren Falls Road, about 11.30am on Friday. As part of the investigation, police were searching a residential address in Mill Lane, Hamilton. - NZME

land because the erosion did not threaten private property or a road. These involved efforts to regenerate the dune systems with sand “push-ups” and the planting of native plants to hold the soil together. The erosion had come up relatively fast in the last few months and affected an about 100-

150 metre stretch of coast, the spokeswoman said. But it was still almost 10m from the road behind the monument. If the erosion directly threatened the road or private property, council would investigate using a “hard” structure, such as a rock-timber wall to halt it, she said. - NZME
A person has died after a ute crashed down a 10-metre bank and ended up in stream. Police were called to the scene of the crash on Speedies Road in Te Anga near Waitomo at 9.15am.

■ PIKE RIVER
Police have found the body of a tramper in the Nelson Lakes National Park. A search and rescue operation was launched on Saturday after the man failed to return from a solo tramping trip on Friday, as planned. His body was located about 9.30am yesterday in the Mt Robert Range area. - NZME
Pike River re-entry possible by end of year Pike River re-entry could happen by December, now that family representatives have signed off on the Government’s three options for entering the mine. The Government has committed to return the bodies of the 29 men to their families, and a concept plan is now well under way to allow that to happen. Pike River Minister Andrew Little met with the families in Greymouth on Saturday. He said getting plan approval
from them was an important milestone. “This follows a fair amount of potential work that has been done to date, and the experts now have three options for reentry and recovery of the drift. “Before I signed off on exploring those options further, I just wanted the families to know where we were at, and to have confidence in it. They seemed to, so I’ll now sign off on that.” Little said a realistic target for
re-entry was the end of the year. “We think the end of December, and that’s what we’re working towards at the moment. Little said the three options were quite similar, but had differences in how they organised a second exit point, and the order in which parts of the plan happened. The planning would now move into more detailed work, sourcing equipment, and working out a detailed cost expectation.
He said both the Government and the families knew the recovery would be “complex”. Their experts said it was possible, but the risks had to be acknowledged and mitigated. “It’s a unique mine anyway, you’ve got this very long tunnel or drift, and it goes uphill,” Little said. Last month police announced a new investigation into the Pike River Mine explosion was to be opened, five years after they closed their original one. - NZME

OUR VIEW
Trump always entertaining O
f all the happenings to have hit world headlines in modern times, Donald Trump winning the American presidential election in 2016 would have to be one of the most bizarre. The world has had endless entertainment ever since, and American journalists must wonder what they would have had to write about if Hilary Clinton had won instead. It is unlikely, for instance, that the recent presidential visit to London would result in a giant baby-blimp effigy floating over the city, a huge temporary wall to shield off protestors, collective heaves of detestation from the masses, and ubiquitous media coverage on the non-presidential behaviour of the president.
The latest amusement has been Trump breaching royal protocol by publicly disclosing the details of a conversation he had with the Queen when he met her for tea at Windsor Castle. She had confirmed to him, he said, that Brexit had been a very complex problem. He was also full of praise for the 92-year-old monarch, saying she was “an incredible woman, she is so sharp, she is so beautiful, when I say beautiful – inside and out. That is a beautiful woman”.
And asked if he had felt the queen had liked him, he said: “Well I don’t want to speak for her, but I can tell you I liked her. So usually that helps. But I liked her a lot. “Just very elegant. And very beautiful. It was really something special,” Trump said of the meeting. “She is so sharp, so wise, so beautiful. Up close, you see she’s so beautiful. She’s a very special person.” So he liked her then. Trump was equally chirrupy when talking to British journalist Piers Morgan in an interview on Friday about whether he was going to run for office in 2020. Trump was quoted by the Mail on Sunday as saying: “Well I fully intend to. It seems like everybody
wants me to.” Trump said he did not see any Democrat who could beat him. “I don’t see anybody. I know them all, and I don’t see anybody,” he said. It is surprising that someone who spends so much of their time on Twitter is completely oblivious to how they are perceived by a huge proportion of Americans, if not the growing majority. Social media aside, even in the halls of governance in Washington DC there is evidence that it might not be quite “everybody” who would like to see Trump stand again. I don’t follow American politics religiously, but pick up enough to know there has been discontent among staff and fellow politicians with many an exit from the Capitol building.
When I was in America earlier this year, I talked to a bus tour guide who loved living in Manhattan, but was absolutely mortified when I mentioned I had heard Trump may be standing again after I read this at the time. The guide never thought Trump would survive as far as he had in his first term, let alone be able to begin talking about a second term. The guide had a cousin in Canada, and said he would be leaving the country if Trump got in again. The news reports and polarising reactions Trump seems to trigger, show that as much as it was a stunning occurrence for him to win in 2016, to win again in 2020 would be beyond the limits of reality.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Monday, July 16, the 197th day of 2018. There are 168 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On July 16, 1945, the United States exploded its first experimental atomic bomb in the desert of Alamogordo, New Mexico. On this date: In 1790, a site along the Potomac River was designated the permanent seat of the United States government; the area became Washington, DC. In 1935, the first parking meters were installed in the United States, in Oklahoma City. In 1951, the novel The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger was first published by Little, Brown and Co. In 1957, Marine Corps Maj. John Glenn set a transcontinental speed record by flying a Vought F8U Crusader jet from California to New York in 3 hours, 23 minutes and 8.4 seconds. In 1969, Apollo 11 blasted off from Cape Kennedy on the first manned mission to the surface of the moon. In 1973, during the Senate Watergate hearings, former White House aide Alexander P. Butterfield publicly revealed the existence of President Richard Nixon’s secret taping system.

e have this curious habit of believing the worst about the generation following our own. Millennials are the most selfabsorbed generation ever, apparently. Before them, Generation Xers were regarded by their elders as lazy. It’s true that every generation has new challenges to navigate. I was born in 1983 and through my teens saw the internet and cellphones become a part of our daily lives. Teenagers now have to contend with those two things folded together, with a dose of social media thrown in for good measure. The results can be vicious, with online bullying a serious problem our young people have to contend with. It doesn’t mean we have more “bad” kids.

eoed and uploaded for everyone, including parents and the community to see. That tendency to get caught up in the negative is hiding a pretty wonderful truth – that our young people are doing some incredible things. Over the last six months I’ve visited dozens of schools across Mid Canterbury and South Canterbury, and met hundreds of amazing kids. What they’re learning is remarkable. Where my old primary school of Allenton was lucky to have a computer in the corner of a classroom in the early 1990s,
now some schools come equipped with 3D printers. The young adults our education system is producing will be the most educated and advanced generation we’ve ever seen. They’ll do some amazing things. Maybe a cure for cancer. Reversing the impact of humans on our environment. A manned mission to Mars. It’s all within their grasp, and it’s in our power to encourage them to do it. Next month the Canterbury Youth Awards will be held in Christchurch. They’re a chance to highlight some of the exceptional young people we have in our community, and to encourage others to aim high and succeed. There are seven region-wide awards, and an award that I’ve chosen to sponsor, the Andrew Falloon MP Supreme Youth Award for Ashburton. The awards are open to anyone aged 12 to 24, who has contributed significantly to our
community, demonstrated leadership, and an ability to motivate and positively influence others. We have dozens and dozens of young achievers in our district who match that description, so I’m sure the awards will hardfought. The award comes attached to a $500 prize, and nominations are open now. They close at the end of this month, so if you know of a worthy candidate please consider nominating them soon at www.youthvoicecanterbury. org.nz If you’d like more information on the awards, you’re welcome to email me at andrew.falloon@ parliament.govt.nz or contact my Ashburton office.

Thousands protest Trump Thousands of protesters took to the streets to show their opposition to Donald Trump as the US president spent time at his golf course in Scotland for the last leg of his four-day visit to Britain. A total of 11,000 people took part in demonstrations in the cities of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee at the weekend, according to police estimates. In the Scottish capital, Edinburgh, thousands participated in what the city council described on Twitter as a “major demonstration”. Protesters flew the same six-metre inflatable orange Trump baby balloon that was used near the British parliament in London on Friday. The demonstration began outside the Scottish parliament, where speakers including Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard addressed the protesters. They then marched through the city holding placards with slogans such as “Dump Trump”, “Trump: An awful gobshite”, and “Everyone is welcome here apart from you”. Hundreds also protested outside Trump’s golf resorts in the counties of Ayrshire and Aberdeenshire. The BBC posted a video of Trump waving at protesters who were chanting and booing outside the golf course as he was playing. In London, there were demonstrations both for and against Trump. Several hundred people took part in a pro-Trump protest, with clashes erupting between protesters and police, according to media reports. There was also a counter protest by antifascist group Hope Not Hate. Trump tweeted on Saturday that he had arrived at his Turnberry golf resort on the on the Ayrshire coast for “two days of meetings, calls and hopefully, some golf my primary form of exercise!”

On Friday night, Trump flew to Glasgow before heading south for a two-day private stay at Turnberry. A Greenpeace protester flew over the resort in a paraglider late on Friday, carrying a banner that read, “Trump: Well below
par.” “Trump does not believe in climate change. He’s pulled the US out of the Paris Agreement, and is committed to burning more climate-wrecking coal. We couldn’t let him get away with a quiet game of golf,” Greenpeace wrote on Twitter on Saturday. Britain’s International Trade Secretary Liam Fox condemned the demonstrations, telling the BBC the protesters were “an embarrassment to themselves” and their actions “did not reflect the genuine good manners and hospitality of the British people”. - DPA

Kate, Meghan make a stir at Wimbledon The Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Sussex were greeted by cheers as they arrived at Wimbledon to watch Meghan’s close friend Serena Williams play in the women’s singles final. Williams failed in her bid to win an eighth Wimbledon title just 10 months after giving birth to her daughter. The American was the first mother to reach the final since Australian Evonne Goolagong triumphed 38 years ago. Meghan, who was sitting between Wimbledon patron the Duchess of Cambridge and Gill Brook, the wife of Wimbledon chairman Philip Brook, turned from time to time to speak to Billie Jean King and her partner Ilana Kloss. Williams has described her friendship with the newlywed as wonderful, and in the past Meghan has attended the championships to cheer the 36-year-old from her player’s box. This year F1 ace Lewis Hamilton, golfer Tiger Woods and Dame Anna Wintour offered their support from behind her team. Hamilton also took to Instagram to post messages of encouragement. Exactly two months after taking a frontrow seat at Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry in Windsor, Williams took centre stage at Wimbledon. Meghan, who was at the tournament as Kate’s guest, stood slowly and applauded when Williams lost in straight sets to Germany’s Angelique Kerber. It was the first official engagement

Get back to nature at the impressive Orokonui Ecosanctuary.
Tunnel Beach – well worth the trek down to it.
A weekend too short for Dunedin I
A weekend in the southern city won’t be long enough, writes Alexia Santamaria.
t’s not hard to see why the Scots thought they’d found paradise in the Otago Peninsula. And with all the tourist attractions that have developed over recent years, Dunedin is now the perfect place for a relaxing, and stimulating, break. It was also recently named New Zealand’s most under-rated city by CNN Travel. Big enough to be interesting, but small enough to be convenient, it oozes character, charm and fun. If you’re spending a few days there, here are options you should try to include.
Mother Nature exerts her beauty and force in equal measures. Definitely walk down to the tunnel if the tide is right, it’s well worth it. If you don’t have time for a Tunnel Beach excursion, gorgeous St Clair is 10 minutes from the city centre, unusual for such a stunning and dramatic surf spot. The cafes are great and a stroll along the Esplanade is a Dunedin must-do.
Water
Gardens
If you have the time and energy – it’s a bit of a walk back up the hill – visit Tunnel Beach, named because of the tunnel John Cargill excavated so his family could swim in private (tragically it was this very spot that would take his youngest daughter in a drowning accident). The scenery is magnificent, with sweeping sandstone arches and dramatic cliff faces animated by the fury of wild waves crashing on the rocks. It’s one of those places where
Dunedin has a number of gardens worth a visit. I had time only for a stroll around the Botanic Gardens, which was impressive enough (totally deserving of its status of six-star Garden of International Significance) but I have heard great things from locals about Olveston’s Garden, Glenfalloch Woodland and the Chinese Gardens. The Botanic Gardens are more than 30ha of stunning floral and green planting with more than 6800 plant species and on
a beautiful day there’s nowhere lovelier to have a picnic and a walk. Don’t forget to grab some duck food.
History Toitu, the Otago Settlers Museum, is a truly delightful space, where Dunedin’s history is presented in an interactive way. From the lives of local Maori to the Scots, the Chinese, and everyone who followed the discovery of gold, you really get to experience Dunedin’s highs and lows through an entertaining series of exhibits. It traces all aspects of the settlers’ lives – innovation, art, fashion, domestic life and transport. You’ll find yourself spending longer in there than you planned.
Food Where to start with food in Dunedin? The Otago Farmers’ Markets are wonderful – especially in stonefruit season – and a great place to have breakfast or

stock up on picnic treats. Wolf at the Door and The Corner Store Cafe are excellent for coffee. Kiki Beware is the place to go for modern comfort food (think banh mi sandwiches, poutine, spicy fried chicken) Good Good Burgers for, well, (very) good burgers. Johnnie’s Southern Kitchen takeout for some of the best Tex/Mex/Cajun outside the US; Emmerson’s and New New New Corporation for excellent local craft brews. Francesca’s Italian Kitchen for real Italian pizzas and Vault 21 for cocktails and delicious sharing food.
Wildlife With nothing much between Dunedin and Antarctica, there are some impressive wildlife viewing options and Orokonui Ecosanctuary is definitely one of them. On the day we visited, the resident takahe and kaka put on a great impromptu show; it was magical to see their comedic
antics in their natural habitat. The ecosanctuary is the South Island’s flagship biodiversity project. Multiple species of plants and animals are protected from predators by the huge fence that surrounds the 307ha of forest. Many rare and endangered species have been reintroduced (including nearly 20 kiwi) and its altitude makes it even more magnificent as the mist swirls around the trees. If you don’t mind staying up until 10pm, when they come home from fishing, the Little Blue Penguin experience at the Royal Albatross Centre at Taiaroa Head is a must. Seeing hundreds of Little Blues swim ashore with fish for their babies, in nests sometimes metres above sea, is a once-in-alifetime experience. A weekend is nowhere near enough for this fun city — we haven’t even mentioned Lanarch Castle, the world-class train journeys, the incredible street art trail, the museum and Port Chalmers. Go for the week or plan a couple of visits, no matter what your interests, Dunedin will have something everyone in your group will love. - NZME

A total of 19 wickets fell on day three with Holder taking six of them for his second five-wicket haul of the match. West Indies resumed on 1-19, looking to build on their overnight lead of 224. However, they were skittled for 129 in just 45 overs as Shakib Al Hasan took 6-33 and Roston Chase top scored with 32.

■ ROWING
Top honour for NZ rowers Mid Canterbury born and bred rowers were in the spotlight both on and off the water at the third and final World Rowing Cup event for 2018 at the weekend. Raced at the Rotsee venue in Lucerne, Switzerland, the regatta moved to semi-finals stage overnight on Saturday and rowers were met by perfect conditions with the water flat, temperatures moderate, and no wind in sight. Mayfield’s Emma Dyke was in action with the New Zealand women’s eight and an easy win in their heat moved them directly to the A final, where they were set to face the Netherlands and China in what was likely to be a hardfought finale. But it was off the water where New Zealand Rowing had their first big win of the regatta, when former Mid Cantabrian Hamish Bond and his long-time rowing partner Eric Murray were awarded the Thomas Keller Medal. Created in 1990, the Thomas Keller Medal celebrated athletes who had had an outstanding career in rowing. It honoured those who had
shown exemplary sportsmanship and technical mastery of the sport as well as having shown a legendary aspect both in and outside of their rowing career. Known as the most prestigious medal awarded in rowing, the 2018 Thomas Keller Medal was awarded to Murray and Bond by the World Rowing Federation
“
“When you look at the list of previous winners, the potential to have your name up along such luminaries is more than I ever expected to achieve in the sport. “Typically the award is given to individuals but given that my career has been intertwined with Eric’s, it’s an honour to win this award together.”
the by-product of trying to be the best we could be consistently, has left a legacy which will be there forever
(FISA) on Saturday. During the award ceremony, an 18-carat gold medal was bestowed to the pair by Dominik Keller, the son of FISA’s former president Thomas Keller. Bond, who was currently cycling in Wales, said just being nominated for the highest honour the sport of rowing offered was special.
Murray and Bond were two very different athletes who became tied together when they united in the men’s pair in 2009. They then began an unprecedented 69-race winning streak which included two Olympic Gold medals (2012 and 2016) and eight World Championships titles. They also claimed world best
times in two boat classes, the men’s pair and men’s coxed pair. Those times still stood today. The duo raced together at the 2008 Olympics in the men’s four and a seventh-place finish left them disappointed but brought them back on the road to pairs success. Murray said to be awarded the Thomas Keller Medal showed that ‘The Kiwi Pair’ had extraordinarily contributed to the rowing world. “We set out to win a few races and compete against the world, and the by-product of trying to be the best we could be consistently, has left a legacy which will be there forever,” Murary said. “We’ve always been privileged to represent our country and the sport of rowing to the wider global community. “We had utmost respect for our competitors and have enjoyed the rivalries. “It’s the greatest honour from the sport which has already given so much to us, and we thank the rowing world for this acknowledgment.”
Sri Lanka offspinner Dilruwan Perera has completed a 10-wicket match haul as the hosts thumped South Africa by 278 runs inside three days to go 1-0 up in the first match of their two-test series. South Africa were all out for 73 in their second innings, their lowest since their readmission to international cricket in 1992, in an abject batting capitulation. It was also their lowest total in Sri Lanka, eclipsing the 126 they posted in the first innings on Friday. - AAP
Groenewegen wins stage Dylan Groenewegen has snatched his second win in a row on the Tour de France, while Australian contender Richie Porte has entered the overall top 10 for the first time. The Dutchman needed no help from his teammates in the final straight as he slalomed through his rivals to beat German Andre Greipel by almost a bike length after 181km from Dreux yesterday, with Colombian Fernando Gaviria crossing the line third. Greg Van Avermaet retains the yellow jersey. - PA
Knockout a necessity Joseph Parker has gone four fights and nearly two years without a knockout, and that has to change, starting with his next bout against Dillian Whyte. Parker has promised to deliver a beating when they meet in the ring in London in two weeks and the Kiwi heavyweight’s statement of intent will probably be music to Whyte’s ears. That’s because the Englishman will know his only chance of a win is if Parker takes risks and goes on the offensive. - NZME

In brief Fowler hot for Fever A 61-goal haul from scoring sensation Jhaniele Fowler has powered the West Coast Fever to a 7468 Super Netball victory over the NSW Swifts. The Fever improved to a 9-2 record and remain on track to finish the regular season in top spot but were made to work hard by a determined Swifts outfit. The Swifts went in as major underdogs but the home side threw down the challenge to the competition leaders to lead by four goals at halftime. But the Fever produced a 20-13 third quarter to take control of the match with Fowler (61/65) proving unstoppable. - AAP

Final berth proves elusive By Erin TaskEr

Mainland did what they came to Ashburton to do yesterday, beating South 59-46 to give themselves a shot at making the Beko Netball League final. But sitting third on the Beko ladder heading into yesterday’s final round clash at Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre, and with the top two teams heading straight to the grand final, they were also relying on Waikato/Bay of Plenty and Central to lose. Waikato/Bay of Plenty had the day’s first game and they sealed their place in the final with a 7249 win over the Northern Marvels, and Mainland faced a nervous wait to see if the Northern Comets could topple Central.
They came close, chasing down a big early deficit to be down by just one at three-quarter time, but Central held on and eventually won by five, 53-48, meaning Mainland would miss out on the final. Knowing that they needed to win to give themselves the best chance, the Mainland side – coached by two former Ashburton women Ronelle van Dongen and Andrea Cousins – started strong, putting pressure on South throughout the court which resulted in multiple turnovers which Jess Prosser and Gemma Hazeldine turned into points in the shooting circle. Mainland moved the ball seamlessly through the court and had moved out to a handy 17-
12 lead by quarter time, but the second quarter was a different story, as South tightened up on defence, forcing Mainland into passes that possibly weren’t on. Former Ashburton woman Kelsey Ashworth took to the court for Mainland five minutes into the second quarter at wing attack, with Tiana Placid moving from wing attack to goal attack to replace Hazeldine, as South looked to make inroads into Mainland’s lead. After a much-improved quarter in which they drew, South were still down by just the five goals at half time, 29-24, but they continued to build and by mid-way through the third they’d managed to cut Mainland’s lead to three.
With Hazeldine back on the court at goal attack, Mainland managed to grab one goal back in the dying seconds of the third quarter and still led 41-27 at three quarter time, but the game was anyone’s heading into the final stanza. An early intercept from Hazeldine in the final quarter put her side’s lead back out to five, but with pride on the line South fought hard and got back within three, before Mainland put the foot down. Goal defence Lily Marshall picked off a couple of intercepts which were turned into goals by her shooters and Mainland got themselves on a roll, running away with the game in the end 59-46.
■ RUGBY LEAGUE
Barbarians well on track for finals run By Erin TaskEr
Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz
An injury-hit Ashburton Barbarians team headed to Christchurch on Saturday and defeated Marist Saints Green 38-10 in Canterbury Rugby League’s division one competition. Barbarians player/coach Johno Simon said it was a good win considering they’d started with players carrying injuries in their line-up and had some new faces. There were just three rounds to go before the competition’s fi-
nals, and the Ashburton Barbarians were well placed for a finals spot, behind competition leaders the Burnham Chevaliers. The Chevaliers took home the easiest points of the weekend, after the Celebration Lions defaulted and became the third team in the competition to pull out, following the Addington Magpies and the Hornby Panthers. Simon said all teams had struggled with injuries this season, not just the Barbarians, but the Barbarians were in the fortunate
position of having good numbers which meant they always had people to call upon. “We had one guy on Saturday who hadn’t played all season, but I had to ring him,” Simon said. That player was Semisi Puleiku and he had a standout game, as did Devaun Thompson, who scored three of his side’s tries. They had players playing out of position due to injuries – including their hooker moving to fullback – but Simon said everyone stood up, and the side was well
led by captain Taki Eketone. Preston Marsh also had a stellar game and scored a try in what was his comeback game after more than a month out injured, Simon said. The Barbarians now have a week off with the bye, before finishing the round robin with an away game to Marist Saints Gold, and a home game to the Hawks. Simon said he hoped the week off would give some of the injuries that had been hampering his side a chance to heal.
Legal wrangling between Netball New Zealand and under-fire Silver Ferns coach Janine Southby is believed to be the reason for the continued delay in revealing the findings of a “comprehensive review” into the team’s disappointing Commonwealth Games campaign. In April, Netball New Zealand announced a probe into its high performance programme in the wake of the Ferns’ fourth-place finish on the Gold Coast and amid claims of a dressing-room rift. The findings and recommendations were meant to be presented to the NNZ board at the start of June. - NZME
Medal fallout goes on Selector Darren Lockyer admits a better system should be introduced for the Wally Lewis Medal after the controversy surrounding Billy Slater’s selection as player of the State of Origin series. Lockyer was one of the three national selectors who made Slater the first winner of the medal from a losing team despite him playing just two of the three matches. Under the current system, each selector voted on a 4-3-2-1 system after each game, with the points combined to decide the series MVP. NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg has already declared the system will be reviewed. - AAP
Smith a valuable asset Melbourne are only just beginning to see the benefits of Cameron Smith’s representative retirement after he guided them through the State of Origin period undefeated for the first time since 2011. Smith has been available for every game of this year’s representative period for the first time in his 16-year career. And while the decision has been the Maroons’ loss, there’s no question it has been Melbourne’s gain. In that time they’ve gone from sixth to fighting for a top-two spot, with Smith helping guide them to a third one-point win in the period over Manly on Saturday. - AAP

In brief Warriors upset Broncos For the first time in five years the New Zealand Warriors have defeated Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium, keeping their top four hopes alive with a 26-6 NRL victory yesterday. A week after the Broncos looked to have locked up a finals spot, they are now precariously placed at eighth with a -26 point deficit after the Warriors snapped the hosts’ three game winning run. The Warriors ended their own worrying two game losing slide with the fivetries-to-one rout in front of 37,493 largely shellshocked fans that looks set to move them to seventh.
Crusaders rampant What happens when an unstoppable force meets an extremely movable object? The answer was as you’d expect when the best team in New Zealand took on the worst, as the Crusaders thrashed the Blues 54-17. Given they had nothing to play for with Super Rugby’s top spot already locked up, the Crusaders took a while to hit top gear, but when they did, 28 points in the last 17 minutes emphasised why they are going to be so difficult to stop come playoff time. The Crusaders have the benefit of home advantage throughout those playoffs, and that is significant given they have won 17 games in a row in Christchurch. - NZME

■ TENNIS
Venus pipped in final Michael Venus came within a set of claiming his second Grand Slam doubles title. The Kiwi ace and South African playing partner Raven Klaasen fell agonisingly short of winning at Wimbledon, falling in five sets to American duo Jack Sock and Mike Bryan. While he was unable to add to his 2017 French Open title, Venus said he and Klaasen’s performance was a big confidence booster heading into the final part of the season. “For the first half of the year we’d been solid but we just hadn’t gotten over the hump of having that big result. I think we did that here and it showed us and (we)
have the belief in the partnership that we can do this consistently. “We showed ourselves we can play with the top guys consistently and perform well at the big tournaments.” Venus and Klaasen fought back from a set down twice in the final yesterday morning, but were unable to take the deciding set, with Sock and Bryan winning 6-3 6-7 6-3 5-7 7-5 in just over three and a half hours. Tension built throughout the deciding set as neither team were able to get an early break. But a 5-5 the blow came for the Americans, breaking Klaasen’s serve and going on to close out the match in the following game.
On championship point, there was an exchange at the net which ended when Klaasen put a volley into the net to end a hard-fought final. It ended a successful tournament for Venus, despite walking away without the title, as he also made the semi-finals in the mixed doubles with Katarina Srebotnik of Slovenia. All up, the Kiwi played 36 sets in the last fortnight, collecting $247,000 in prize money. “I’ve played a lot of set the last two weeks,” Venus said. “Now that we’ve finished I’m a little bit tired, but I’m really happy with how my body held up ... that didn’t play a factor in fading
at the end or anything.” Venus was now looking forward to a week or two of rest, before getting into preparation for the US Open at the end of August. He and Klaasen were likely to return to the courts at the Citi Open in Washington at the end of July, before heading north for the Rogers Cup in Toronto in early August and on to Cincinnati the week after. “There’s three great opportunities in a row then we’ll take a week off and practice in New York and get ready for the US Open. “There’s plenty of tennis left to be played for the rest of the year and some great opportunities still in front of us.” - NZME

Test aspirations not over, says departing Dagg By Daniel Gilhooly Veteran fullback Israel Dagg (right) has ruled himself out of All Blacks contention for the rest of the year after signing a short-term Japan contract. Dagg confirmed he will join the Canon Eagles when his Super Rugby duties finish and return to New Zealand in December.
The 66-test veteran hasn’t played for New Zealand since last September, having been sidelined for long periods by a chronic knee problem. He has made just four appearances for the Crusaders, with a return to the field in May cut short when hit in a high tackle by Brumbies winger Chance Peni. The 30-year-old says his Japan
stint doesn’t mark the permanent end of his test career. “It is going to be an awesome adventure. What happens after that takes care of itself,” he said. More top Kiwi players are signing short Japanese contracts. Dagg’s team-mate Matt Todd will do the same, along with Highlanders trio Richard Buckman, Elliot Dixon and Tom Franklin. - AAP

The Hurricanes tweeted “what a shocker... player with a bad history of that crap” as the TMO reviewed Fa’auli’s challenge and he faces another suspension for the second time in his Chiefs career. The Tweet was later deleted. - NZME
Highlanders in thriller Patience and resilience are the qualities that enabled the Highlanders to lock in their sixth place and are the qualities that will make them a serious contender in the play-offs. Beating the Rebels was perhaps harder work than it needed to be, but the only thing that mattered for the Highlanders was that they managed to do it. But with Ben and Aaron Smith back, the Highlanders have so much fight in them that no one will want to play them in the next few weeks. - NZME

How Super Rugby is shaping up
HAMPSTEAD HEARTBREAKER
Methven’s Oscar Baisagale tries to sidestep the Hampstead defence during his side’s win on Saturday.

Hampstead’s hearts have been broken by a last-gasp try for the second time in just three weeks, going down 22-20 to Methven on Saturday. With the bye awaiting them in the final round of Mid Canterbury Rugby’s showpiece competition – the Watters Cup – next weekend, the loss meant Hampstead would now have to wait until 2019 to break their long drought of no Watters Cup game wins in nine years. Ironically, it was a former Hampstead player who put the nail in their coffin on Saturday too, with Methven replacement Kipione Manumua scoring the winning try on the final whistle and ensuring his side was still a chance of making the Watters Cup finals. Hampstead coach Shaun Bovey said it was hard to put what the side was feeling after Saturday’s loss into words. “That’s probably four, maybe five games that we have lost like that now,” Bovey said. But he was proud to have taken his side from a team that many viewed as easybeats in recent seasons, to a competitive team that other sides were wary of. “Where we have come from in 12 months is pretty incredible. “I’m so, so proud of those boys and the effort they have put in.” They finished the season with two wins in the Luisetti Seeds Cup combined competition and came within a whisker of beating Rakaia two weeks ago, before pushing Methven to the limit. On Saturday it was a Methven mistake which led to the first
points of the afternoon, gifting Hampstead possession in prime position which Naua Lapa accepted with open arms and scored, with Toafa Touli adding the extras. Methven levelled things up at 7-all with a try to halfback Tait Chisman, before Hampstead were reduced to 14 when Touli was yellow carded, but Methven were unable to capitalise on the one-man advantage. Instead Hampstead extended their lead when a kick through bounced out of the hands of Methven first-five Rueben Early and into the hands of Ao Touli who went over the line untouched. Ahead at half time 12-7, Hampstead didn’t get too excited – they’d been in similar positions already this season and lost – but things were looking good. When Hampstead got their hands on the ball they looked like they were a team on a mission, while Methven struggled to hold on to the ball at times. After re-joining the fray, Toafa Touli added a penalty to put his side out to 15-7, before a fiveminute period of play turned the game in Methven’s favour. The visitors found Hampstead wanting out wide and Sairusi Turuva crossed for a try, followed by Methven’s Dutch player Litan Klooster barely three minutes later to put the visitors in the lead 17-15. It looked like Methven had stolen victory out from under Hampstead’s noses, just as Rakaia had done a fortnight ago, but the home side still had tricks left up their sleeves and Ao Touli soon grabbed the lead back for
his side, scoring what Hampstead hoped was the winning try. Hampstead were up 20-17 with time almost up, but a second yellow card and a premature kick for touch believing time was up gave Methven one last shot at taking it. They turned down three kickable penalties in favour of trying for a fourth, bonus point try – a win would keep them in the hunt for the finals, where a loss of a draw wouldn’t. From that third penalty they took a quick tap and Manumua darted across for the winning try that broke Hampstead’s hearts. Methven coach Andy Pearce said he knew how devastating it was to lose a narrow game. “We’ve lost three games like that in the last couple of minutes,” Pearce said. He said his side dropped a lot of ball, and had definitely used up their ‘get out of jail free’ card. “It was almost like it was a preseason game, so it wasn’t the sort of game we were looking for,” Pearce said. But with the side still struggling with injuries, it was another chance to give some of the squad’s younger players game time. Pearce said they brought two players up from the club’s colts team for the game – Luke Gilbert and Lachie Mee – and Gilbert was named player of the day. Being able to bring some older, more experienced heads off the bench though, was also key, with the addition of Simon Fleetwood and Finnish player Kalle Valimaki to the forwards, and first-five Jason Kjestrup – in his first game back from injury – bolstering the side at crucial times.
Meanwhile in the day’s other game at Celtic, the home side were celebrating after upsetting Rakaia 46-38, securing them the Max Gilbert Trophy. Celtic got out to a handy lead in the first half and while Rakaia – the runners-up from the Combined Country Cup – clawed their way back into the game, they never got closer than eight behind. Rakaia coach Wayne Foxcroft said it was Rakaia’s own doing. “We just made that many mistakes. Four or five of their tries were through our mistakes,” Foxcroft said. Rakaia’s tries were scored by Seta Koroitamana (2), Timoci Nabakeke and Leps Seitava, while they were also awarded a penalty try and Andrew Letham added four conversions and a penalty. Celtic coach Geoff Wright said it was good to win, but his side still had work to do. “We got out to a good, early lead in the first half then they came back at us and it was a bit of a see-saw, tit-for-tat in the second half. “But I was pleased with how our guys stood up defensively,” Wright said. “Our defence was good at stages, but with the mistakes we made we just let them back in.” Southern had the bye on Saturday but continued to top the table heading into the final round, followed by Celtic, Rakaia, Methven, then Hampstead. Hampstead were the only team out of contention, with Methven still a chance of making the top three if they beat Celtic on Saturday, and if Rakaia lose to Southern.
The Highlanders have avoided a tricky trip to Johannesburg – for now – as the final round of Super Rugby results fell their way. The Highlanders will face the Waratahs in a Sydney quarterfinal, following the final Super rugby conference matches in which the Lions thrashed the Bulls 38-12 in Johannesburg while the Sharks beat the Jaguares in Durban. Those results sorted out the final placings for the conference winners at the top of the table, the Lions claiming second and the Waratahs finishing two points adrift in third. The top seeded Crusaders will be expected to crush the Sharks in the Christchurch quarter-final. But the Waratahs v Highlanders, Lions v Jaguares and Hurricanes v Chiefs could all be close. The Highlanders may do a little jig over the quarter-final draw, but unless the Jaguares upset the Lions at Ellis Park then the Highlanders will indeed head to Johannesburg for a semi-final if they eliminate the Waratahs. Wallabies captain Michael Hooper is already ruled out of the quarter-final because of an ongoing hamstring issue. The Sharks clinched the last quarter-final place by beating the Jaguares 20-10. The Sharks secured the victory they needed in the rain at home in Durban, with a first-half try by hooker Akker van der Merwe and a second-half score by wing Kobus van Wyk seeing them into the quarters in the last game of the regular season. The Jaguares, who had already qualified for next weekend’s first round of knockout games, scored a late try through wing Sebastian Cancelliere to close the gap but the loss had no effect on their playoff place. The Crusaders, the defending champions, finished top of the standings and ended the regular season in style by beating the Blues 54-17. They will host the lowest-ranked of the quarter-finalists, the Sharks. The Crusaders have lost just twice in 16 games this season, both to New Zealand opposition, and won every game at home. “We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves,” Sharks captain Ruan Botha said. “It’s going to be a tough game in Christchurch.” With their final-round win, the Sharks pushed the Melbourne Rebels out of the playoffs after the Rebels lost their last game to the Highlanders. The Dunedin-based Highlanders rallied from 17-3 down in the first half and 34-22 behind in the second to beat Melbourne 43-37. Behind the Crusaders, the Johannesburg-based Lions finished second in the overall standings with a 38-12, six-try win over the Bulls after trailing 12-0. The Lions, who have lost in the last two finals, will host the Jaguares for a place in the last four. - NZME

■ ASHBURTON
Memorable day for Danni
On an otherwise gloomy day at the Ashburton trots, the smiles of one family brightened things considerably. And while most moments from the final meeting of the season for the Ashburton Trotting Club will be quickly forgotten, for young Danni Alfeld, it’s a memory that will stick around forever. Alfeld, the daughter of well-respected horseman Ricky, picked up her first win as a trainer with just her fourth starter at the races when consistent mare, Sans Le Sou held off all challenges to win
a competitive fillies and mares one mile event. And making the moment all that more special for the entire family was that Dad, Ricky, was sitting in the sulky handling the steering duties. “It’s a pretty cool moment,” the quietly-spoken Danni said. “Hopefully there’s a few more to come too.” One of the major reasons behind Alfeld getting her licence was the introduction of the new young trainer incentives from Harness Racing New Zealand which make getting a trainers’ li-
cence a lot more appealing. “It made sense for her to get in and get it while that was available,” Ricky said. “It’s a pretty special moment for us, one we certainly won’t forget for a while that’s for sure.” The raw emotion of the moment was evident in the birdcage after the race – understating the significance of the success. A 79-start veteran, Sans Le Sou has long been a consistent performer around Canterbury. The daughter of Mach Three has now won seven races and been placed on 21 occasions –
often flying out of the pack late. “She’s only got a short sprint and we were all out at the finish there, I actually thought we had go beat by the horse down the outside. “It’s a good race to win though – there’s a nice stake attached too.” Alfeld has four horses in work at home currently, a full sister to Sans Le Sou as well as progeny from Bettor’s Delight and Art Major. Yesterday’s winner will head to the breeding paddock this season too with a booking to Art Major.

Just days after being installed one of the favourites for the NZ Cup, Aussie superstar Soho Tribeca will undergo surgery for a broken leg. In a horrible aftermath to Saturday night’s messy Group 2 Sunshine Sprint won by Tact Tate, owner-breeder Rob Watson confirmed the severity of the injury sustained when trainer-driver Mick Stanley was looking for a clear run rounding the last bend. “That’s where it happened, when Mick was desperately trying to get into the clear after being stuck in a pocket the whole race,” Watson said. “Messy is the right word for the race and it ended very badly for us. His leg was badly swollen straight after it, he was rushed to the vet and they confirmed the break. “They say the break is in a ‘good’ spot if you know what I mean. They say if the surgery goes as planned he’ll need six months off then can start his rehab.” Watson said he had already been contacted by stud farms asking about Soho Tribeca standing as a stallion, but the plan is to focus on a racetrack return. “I feel like there is unfinished business. He’s just now getting to his prime and those last two races aren’t the way we want him to go out,” he said. Soho Tribeca galloped at the start of last month’s Group 1 Len Smith Mile and took no part in the race as a $1.40 favourite. He was $1.60 favourite in Saturday night’s Sunshine Sprint. Soho Tribeca’s injury and a mystifying flop by Miracle Mile winner My Field Marshal has thrown next Saturday night’s $200,000 Group 1 Ubet Blacks A Fake at Albion Park wide open. My Field Marshal was trapped wide and worked hard, but failed to beat a runner home and left trainer Tim Butt shaking his head. “We don’t know what to make of it,” he said. “Sure he had a hard run, but he still should’ve finished fourth or fifth in a race like that. “He can do that, throw in a bad one, but we thought we had him spot on. “He seemed good after the race and is fine today, but I’ll get him scoped tomorrow (Monday) just to be sure before we press on to the Blacks A Fake.” The drama of the Sunshine Sprint has left Butt contemplating a change of plans with his exciting four-year-old Let It Ride, who sparkled winning a support race at Albion Park. “He was headed to the 4YO feature next Saturday, but, yes, we are weighing-up things up now. “It’s a $200,000 race the Blacks A Fake and not as deep as we first thought,” he said. “We’ll make a decision tonight (Sunday), but there’s a real chance he could run in the big one.” - HRNZ

Red Sierra eyes Riccarton
Grand National next target for Wise Men Say
A gritty win at Trentham on Saturday has confirmed a start in the Gr.3 eStar Winter Cup (1600m) at Riccarton for promising mare Red Sierra. The Redwood four-year-old is riding the crest of a form wave at present having won three of her last four starts. Saturday’s effort in the testing Heavy11 track conditions that prevailed was as impressive as any of her recent runs as she cruised to the line with her ears pricked after appearing to struggle to gather momentum at the top of the Trentham straight. Ridden patiently by regular pilot, apprentice Charlotte O’Beirne, Red Sierra found a powerful finishing burst when angled into the clear at the 200m mark as she strode past a gallant Perfect Harmonee to score by a neat length in the rating 85 1200m contest. Co-trainer David Haworth admitted he had some concerns about the testing nature of the Trentham surface before the race. “I thought she would struggle,” he said. “I had a good look at the track and took Charlotte out and we both had a good look at it. “To Charlotte’s credit she rode her exactly how I asked her to. “She’s a funny little thing (Red Sierra) but she keeps doing the job so you can’t ask any more.” Haworth confirmed the mare would be heading down to Riccarton to tackle the Winter Cup, the feature flat race during the
Raymond Connors is likely to forego the defence of a prestige event title with Wise Men Say in favour of chasing a southern feature. The Wanganui trainer, who races the top jumper with his father Marc, produced the Yamanin Vital gelding to win last year’s Great Northern Steeplechase (6400m) but the Racecourse Hotel & Motel Lodge Grand National Steeplechase (5600m) is this winter’s preferred option. “I’m pretty keen to go down there,” Connors said. “I’ll see how he is in the next week and as long as he’s sound that looks the way to go. “Wherever he goes the weight is going to be the worry though.” Wise Men Say showed he was in great touch for the Riccarton venture when he triumphed in the Grant Plumbing Wellington Steeplechase (5500m) at Trentham on Saturday. The win came as no surprise as the rising nine-year-old had finished runner-up in the Hawke’s Bay Steeplechase (4800m) at his previous appearance. “Looking back on that run, I thought this race was his for the taking over a bit further,” Connors said. Ridden by Isaac Lupton on Saturday, Wise Men Say kept the leader Venerate within his sights and was left alone on front when the Harvey Wilson-trained hope came to grief about 1000m from home. Wise Men Say stayed on strongly to score by three lengths from Chocolate Fish. - NZME

seems to find another couple of gears.” TAB bookmakers responded quickly to the performance as they installed the mare as the clear favourite for the Winter Cup at $5 on the Fixed Odds market.
Red Sierra now sits on the top line of betting ahead of Deals In Heels and She’s Poppy ($6) with another Trentham winner in Dez at $8 as fourth favourite for the race that will be run on August 4. - NZME

Kerber in rare company Humble champion Angelique Kerber is typically downplaying the possibility of completing a fabled career grand slam after elevating herself into rarefied air with an emotional Wimbledon triumph. Kerber broke down in tears after emerging from a two-year grand slam slump to add tennis’ greatest prize to her 2016 Australian Open and US Open trophies with a commanding 6-3 6-3 victory over the great Serena Williams in yesterday’s title decider. In doing so, Kerber denied Williams a record-equalling 24th singles slam and became the first German since her childhood idol Steffi Graf to have her name engraved in the Venus Rosewater Dish. The 30-year-old also separated herself from dual major winners Petra Kvitova, Victoria Azarenka, Garbine Muguruza and Svetlana Kuznetsova with a third career slam victory. Kerber joined the living legend Williams, the American’s sister Venus (7) and Russian superstar Maria Sharapova (5) as just the fourth active player with at least three slams to their credit.
Angelique Kerber Like it or not, Kerber will arrive at next year’s French Open amid huge hype as she attempts to follow in the footsteps of Williams, Graf, Sharapova and fellow tennis icons Margaret Court, Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert as only the seventh woman in 50 years of professional tennis to win all four majors. The only others to achieve the feat since grand slams began more than a century ago are Americans Billie-Jean King, Maureen Connolly, Doris Hart and Shirley Fry Irvin.

Despite her status as a former world No.1 – as well as boasting some formidable results on clay and being a quarter-finalist for the second time last month at Roland Garros last month – Kerber is embarrassed to entertain the prospect of joining such exalted company with French Open glory. “To win my third grand slam it’s amazing, especially here. “Wimbledon was always the grand slam I was dreaming for it,” the soon-to-be world No.4 said. “To start with Australia, with New York, I learned a lot from the experience and everything. “Also to playing the final the second time here (after losing to Williams in 2016). “Yeah, to winning three different grand slams, I think it’s just the best thing. “About clay, I think we have to see in the future. I think that’s a longer way to go for it.” Rather than set bold future goals, Kerber is preferring to savour her “most special” moment after falling out of the world’s top 10 in 2017. - AAP

TODAY’S GOALS: Good – 18 Excellent – 25 Amazing – 29
Previous solution: MERIDIAN 11
21
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): People want you to do well, and they are rooting for you to succeed. When you believe at a deep level that this is true, you will perform to the very best of your ability. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): It has been said that books are golden houses. Indeed, those who take the time to read cannot help but grow in knowledge and empathy, especially fiction, also known as “the lie that tells the truth.” GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Eyes give people away. You’ll get clues, as well as tell-all testaments, from people’s eyes today. Some will shield their eyes under dark glasses or divert them to screens; those are wasted opportunities. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ve let go of certain habits and things you used to enjoy. Probably, the loss was appropriate; other things have become more important. But there’s still a nostalgic pang. You’ll feel that today. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Stop with the comparisons. The life challenges of others may seem greater than those you face, but it matters not at all. Your challenges, whatever size they may be, are real. Take them on. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Connecting with yourself, although not the only one you’ll make today, is among the most important connections. Because of this, the time you have solo is to be kept as sacred as other appointments. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): They want you at the party, and you may or may not want to be there, but if you go, you won’t be sorry. So just say yes. Just go. And then don’t think too much about it, or you’ll change your mind. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): There’s a myth about creativity, that it happens somehow outside the space of day-to-day life, when indeed it grows out of the soil of daily life. It thrives on the relentlessness of the mundane. You’ll notice that today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You are not imprisoned by circumstances. There are exits everywhere. Notice them and you’ll stop feeling as if you “have” to do this or that and instead start feeling as if you “get” to do it. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Someone is leaning on you too hard, and that’s making you feel as if you’re not free. But you are free. You’re free! Think of all the ways! You will be liberated by your imaginings. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): It takes confidence and trust to be welcoming. Your open attitude will attract good and bad, which is why it’s best to screen that open-door policy. Employing some psychic protection will be wise. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Your desires, motivations and spontaneous urges used to drive the day, now they don’t. It’s a part of growing up. Human advancement always involves putting the needs of others above your own.

It’s all about
having fun BY ERIN TASKER
ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
During the winter months, Ashburton’s hockey turf is Kate O’Reilly’s second home. Now, the Ashburton College year 13 student is trying to pass on the love she’s had for the game since she first picked up a hockey stick at the age of about six, to young girls. O’Reilly is an ambassador for the Forward Foundation, a group which aims to increase the rates of participation in a variety of sports by girls. O’Reilly’s focus is hockey. A member of the Hampstead/Collegians senior women’s hockey team and the Ashburton College first XI, O’Reilly is hosting a coaching session aimed at year three and four girls this Thursday at the Ashburton hockey turf, where she hopes to help inspire others to keep playing the game as they get older. “To me it doesn’t matter if they have never picked up a hockey stick, it’s all learning and having fun while you’re doing it, and it’s free,” O’Reilly said. Mid Canterbury has just two senior women’s hockey teams, and as is the case with many sports, numbers tend to drop off as kids get older. O’Reilly can’t understand why but is determined to do something about it. “I just want other people to enjoy it as much as I do.” O’Reilly applied to become a Forward Foundation ambassador at the end of last year and attended a conference earlier this year where they were given advice on how to plan and run an event, and mentors have since been helping them through the process. O’Reilly is one of two Forward Foundation ambassadors in Ashburton, with the other being rugby player Kate Donald, who has been running girls’ rugby skills sessions on Friday evenings, and she’s set to help O’Reilly on Thursday along with some of her fellow hockey players who have put their hands up to help. O’Reilly is no stranger to coaching. She’s coached for about the past two years and has umpired for two years. “I don’t just love hockey, I love all sports and getting involved, and I thought it would be nice to work with girls and help to increase the participation in sport,” O’Reilly said. Thursday’s coaching session will include skills and drills, and finish off with a game at the end. Sign in is at 9.30am and the session will run until midday. O’Reilly said the girls don’t need to have their own gear, and no previous hockey experience is necessary. For more information or to register an interest in the coaching session, you can email O’Reilly at orek4164@ student.ashcoll.school.nz.
