IN NEED OF VOLUNTEERS By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton Budget Advisory Service is hoping to recruit new volunteers as the need for the service remains as strong as ever. The service has two paid advisors and four volunteers, but would ideally like to take on an extra one or two “special” people with good communication skills. One of the paid advisors is Jeannette

Molloy. She said the person or people they are looking for would have to have commitment, in order to be able to dedicate at least two to three hours each week, as well as flexibility, as meeting clients’ needs was not always possible at a set time each week. On top of that they needed patience, as some clients did not always turn up when they were supposed to. Cases had become much more complex than they

were when she first started at the service in 2012. There were other things going on in clients’ lives, which would often need attending to before their budget could be worked out. “It does take a special sort of person,” Molloy said.

Big boost for tourist hotspot By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Nearly $740,000 worth of funding has been announced for a location that has been regularly over-run by tourists stopping off to use the local facilities. In the latest round of funding from the Tourism Infrastructure Fund, the Ashburton District Council has received $739,945 to upgrade the Rakaia Salmon site, which has been eagerly welcomed by members of the Rakaia Community Association. Association chairman Neil Pluck said the funding would provide a big boost for the area that they consider the gateway to the district. “It is a huge thing,” he said. “We are really pleased as we take it seriously how Rakaia looks as we view it as a gateway to the district with people either carrying on down State Highway 1 or turning right and heading up Thompsons Track. The funding is likely to be used to upgrade the toilet facilities at the location that often had large queues of tourists from buses waiting to use the current ones, along with landscaping of the area and the inclusion of more historical information. “The toilets aren’t something the locals use but we are proud of keeping the town tidy and beautifying it bit by bit,” he said. Pluck said the group had been working hard to keep the town tidy since it was formed, including major projects like painting a mural on the side of the ATS building down to gardens being

Nearly $740,000 worth of funding from the Government has been granted to the Ashburton District Council for the improvement of the area around Rakaia Salmon, pleasing Rakaia Community Association president Neil Pluck (right), who along with Rakaia Lions Alistair Sutherland (left), have worked on plans for the location. PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN planted around the town. “There are lots of locals that support it and clubs and groups that do their bit,” he said. “Something like the (Rakaia) Domain is something that has had a lot of work done to get it looking like it does.” Pluck said the council will be leading the charge on the project, but that the association will be more than happy to chip in and do their bit. A total of around $3.6 million

is being spent across 12 projects in Canterbury in this round of funding. “Tourism is a vital part of New Zealand’s, and a key part of Canterbury’s future prosperity. Tourism provides jobs, infrastructure and gives us great opportunities to preserve and tell our story,” general manager tourism at the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment Iain Cossar said. “This latest investment will

fund projects that will help improve critical tourism infrastructure, help communities to make the most out of tourism, and give international visitors and Kiwis a better experience.” The Ashburton District Council were approached for comment on what stage the development was at and if there were any dates available for when work may begin on the site, but were unable to respond in time for deadline.

Budget advisory service needs volunteers From P1 “It’s more about dealing with people, the figures are only a small part of it really. It’s getting a rapport with people.” From this perspective, life experience and “a few grey hairs” were considered strong points. Among long serving volunteers at the service today is Joan Lawn. “I kept thinking I might give up

when I got to 70, well I’m 74 now,” the grandmother of 10 said. “I’m still fit and able, I may as well be helping, it’s an area where there’s a need,” Lawn said. The former farm secretary has been a financial mentor at Ashburton Budget Advisory Service for 17 years, and currently does one day a week. She said it was a rewarding role,

as she got to work clients through their financial stress, to being able to improve their lives. It was good to have the service based at Presbyterian Support, due to all the wrap-around services available. She said many clients owed a lot on credit cards, and credit was too easy to get. She warned against getting into

appliance rental schemes, buying through mobile traders or using payday lenders. “They make it so easy, you can get a loan within half an hour online.” a Clients today were from across the range of the income spectrum, whereas when she started they had been mainly beneficiaries and low-income earners.

Local caught in US lockdown A Mid Canterbury teenager has been caught up in a US lockdown while in the United States taking part in a TeenAg exchange. The Ashburton teenager has been in the States for the past few weeks as part of the exchange alongside girls from Dipton, Five Rivers, Oamaru, Timaru and Te Awamutu and Bridget Huddleston who is acting as the group’s chaperone. The group were caught up in a campus-wide lockdown at a United States university when they were attending the 4-H Congress at Montana State University in Bozeman. It was prompted by threats made by a university employee who was about to be fired, according to the Associated Press. Students, employees and visitors were ordered to stay in locked rooms with window blinds drawn for nearly two hours while officers searched for the man. He was located and detained. The New Zealand students, who are in Montana on a three-week TeenAg exchange, are all safe and uninjured. The incident happened on the final day (Friday NZ time) of the 4-H Congress. The students have been participating in educational workshops, livestock judging competitions and learning about career opportunities in the primary industries. The event attracted students from around the world. They’ll spend the remainder of the trip being billeted by host families.

Track vandals cause concern By Linda Clarke

linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton River track users are concerned vandals are moving concrete blocks that keep 4WD vehicles out and cutting down trees planted for flood protection. There are well-established and well-used tracks on either side of the river where it runs through town, but a section on the southern side, west of the railway line, is being destroyed by unwanted 4WD users. A group of teenage boys, with vehicles, has been seen in the area. The track runs from the railway line west to Timaru Track road and is used by cyclists, walkers and runners. A spokesman for the service club that is developing the track said it was being dug up by the vehicles. Track damage had also been accompanied by the destruction of signs marking the route and plants. It was also obvious where willows and poplars planted for important flood protection work had been cut down.

The service club says it is concerned that people legitimately using the track, which is on land controlled by Environment Canterbury, could be hurt by a vehicle they unexpectedly encountered. Members are also concerned about the flood protection work, as 8000 trees had been planted in the area to keep the riverbank stable in the event of a flood event. They hope the track will be developed to resemble the one that leads from the bridge to Lake Hood. “We just want people to show some respect.” ECan has plans for further beautification where the track is accessed from the riverbed between the road and rail bridges. An ECan spokesperson said the regional council was aware of the recent vandalism of signs and trees on the track and shared the community’s frustration. “We are concerned about any potential further damage to the river protection trees in the area, which are maintained specifically to safeguard against erosion.”

Boy killed in high country crash into Clyde River A nine-year-old boy has died after the ute he was travelling in was swept away and rolled several times down the Clyde River. Emergency services responded to a report of a vehicle crashing into the Clyde riverbed near Erewhon Station Hut at around 10am on Sunday morning. A nine-year-old boy has died

following the crash, while two people were injured. St John spokesman Gerard Campbell said a rescue helicopter attended the scene, transporting two patients to the Christchurch Hospital emergency department, one with moderate injuries and one with minor injuries. “It is a real shame and a terrible

outcome for the family,” Garden City Helicopters group general manager Simon Duncan said. The Westpac Rescue Helicopter was called out after a personal locator beacon had been activated. “A vehicle had been swept away and had rolled several times downstream, fatally trapping a nine-year-old male,” he said.

The Serious Crash Unit has examined the scene and the investigation into the crash is ongoing. It was one of three call-outs the rescue helicopter attended on Sunday involving river rescues. At 9am they were called to the Hawdon River after a family of two adults and three children had activated their personal locator

beacon after becoming trapped on an island in the middle of the river by rising flood waters. At 7pm that night the crew were called out to assist a vehicle containing two males and a good samaritan who had attempted to help the first two with his vehicle and had become stuck in the Waimakariri River.

New snow kick-starts busy week A rough weekend on the weather front was quickly pushed to one side yesterday as Mt Hutt opened to a fresh layer of the white gold to kick them through into the second week of the school holidays. High winds wreaked havoc on the mountain at points during the weekend, but there was a light at the end of the tunnel with a five to 25 centimetre snowfall settling with things looking particularly good higher up the mountain. The latest snowfall comes at the perfect time for the mountain with plenty happening on the slopes as numbers rise through the school holidays and staff and management are ensuring that there’s as much to do as possible for those trekking up to the skifield to take in the school holiday programme. Daily events are being run to keep all ages entertained with live music, kids’ craft activities, find the flags treasure hunts, bouncy castles, lessons about keas in the cafe among a whole heap more.

The school holiday programme officially ends on Sunday with a Mexican themed day. The adults haven’t been left out either with the alpine spa at the top of the summit and the Ice Bar at the top of the Quad both in operation on good days. “We’ve pulled out all stops for these holidays. We have all bases covered,” Ski Area Manager James McKenzie said. “In addition to great skiing and riding on the trails, we’re hosting fun activities for all ages and ability levels.” Last week staff were put through their paces when the Summit Six Chair was closed with staff running a simulation of a chairlift evacuation. Staff loaded the chair and went part way up the mountain before being stopped and then evacuated off the chair via a T seat on a rope. It was great practice for the ski patrol, who need to evacuate chairlifts in rare events like power outages or extreme weather.

Following a number of recent incidents involving people getting into difficulty outdoors, police are urging people to plan and prepare before heading out this winter. “Whether it’s a multi-day tramp or a daywalk, people are urged to plan their trips, prepare for all conditions, and properly equip themselves before setting off,” Canterbury Police search and rescue co-ordinator Phil Simmonds said. “Police remind people to be especially mindful of conditions during winter, with shorter days and below freezing temperatures at night.” Remember: ■■ Plan your trip: Seek local advice and knowledge if you are unfamiliar with terrain and conditions, and thoroughly plan your route before heading out. Tell someone where you are going, and let them know when to raise the alarm if you don’t return.

■■ Beware of the weather: Our weather is very unpredictable and can deteriorate quickly. Check the forecast and expect weather changes. ■■ Know your limits: don’t push your physical limits and experience in unfamiliar or dangerous terrain. ■■ Take the right supplies and equipment: make sure you have the right clothing for the conditions, and emergency rations for the worst case scenario. Take appropriate means of communication. ■■ Think: if you get into trouble, can you call for help? Who knows where you are? Do you have the clothing, food and equipment to stay safe until help arrives?

Foreign buyers forced to sell $13m of land bought illegally NZME An overseas-owned company behind a subdivision for 117 homes in Auckland has been fined and ordered to sell up after buying the land without permission. The Overseas Investment Office has forced BCH Investments Ltd to sell up illegally bought land in Auckland following an investigation. The High Court ordered BCH pay the maximum civil penalty of $300,000, along with costs totalling $288,000. The company has also been instructed to sell the Albany properties within two years after they bought five hectares of land without OIO approval. Land Information New Zealand group manager Vanessa Horne said the OIO makes sure overseas businesses meet the rules for investment in New Zealand. “This case shows the importance for investors to seek the right advice when making overseas investments,” she said. “This includes choosing a suitably qualified lawyer and asking the right questions. “The OIO has an important role in protecting our sensitive land, and we will continue to pursue cases where people have bought land illegally.” BCH bought properties at 7995 Gills Rd in Albany for $12.95 million in 2013.

Man stabbed An investigation has forced the overseas investors to sell the properties in Albany. into 117 residential sections for sale and work was already under way when the OIO discovered breaches in 2014. OIO allowed BCH to complete the subdivision and sell the lots in an orderly way to protect the interests of contractors and people who bought the subdivided lots. The Court heard BCH will not make a profit on the sale of the properties, therefore a penalty based on gain could not be im-

posed. Instead, the Court ordered the maximum statutory penalty of $300,000 to be paid. Justice Grant Powell said, “given the size, scope and nature of the development proposed BCH should have undertaken explicit enquiries as to its obligations under the Act.” The land purchased by BCH is sensitive under the OIO Act because it is located next to a reserve. Meanwhile, the owners of two

Warkworth properties were fined $2.95 million after an OIO investigation found they too were bought illegally. The two properties, 185 Sandspit Road and Kourawhero Lodge at 471 Wyllie Road, were purchased in 2014 and 2012 respectively. Because both properties are rural land of more than five hectares, the owners should have applied to the OIO for consent to purchase them.

Epstein ‘abused dozens’ AP A few cells away from drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman at a New York City jail, jet-setting financier Jeffrey Epstein sits accused of running a different kind of criminal network. There was the team of recruiters and enablers bringing Epstein dozens of underage girls to sexually abuse, federal prosecutors allege. There was the assistant who scheduled those encounters, and the butler who cleaned up afterward and doled out cash and gifts to the girls, authorities contend in court records. There were the mansions in New York and Florida, the sprawling ranch in New Mexico and the private island in the Caribbean that kept prying eyes at a distance, and the forms his employees had to sign swearing they wouldn’t speak about him publicly. All of it served to insulate Epstein with layer upon layer of secretiveness, investigators say, like a kingpin. And, as eventually happened to Guzman, all of it could be on the verge of collapsing inward on him. The linchpin of the operation described in the federal indictment against Epstein were the recruiters – some of them victims themselves – who targeted girls as young as 13. Epstein deemed his team so essential that he attempted to shield several of them from federal charges under the same nonprosecution agreement that allowed him to avoid a lengthy federal prison sentence and plead guilty in 2008 to lesser state charges in Florida. That unusual deal, initially filed in secret, went as far as to bar the federal government from charging “any potential co-conspirators of Epstein.” That agreement could be upended by the indictment unsealed in New York federal court this month that charges Epstein with conspiracy and sex trafficking, which could see the 66-year-old sentenced to up to 45 years in prison if convicted. Geoffrey Berman, the US attorney in Manhattan, declined to say whether any of Epstein’s associates will be charged. He also would not say whether

Cup punters refunded Aussie bookmaker Sportsbet has refunded those who put money on the Black Caps to win the Cricket World Cup final, describing the fashion in which the match was decided as an “absolute disgrace”. The company said it had refunded 11,458 people a total of $426,223 after the host nation won the final on a controversial boundary countback rule following tied scores after 102 overs of cricket. Spokesperson Rich Hummerston said it wouldn’t be fair to take money after the Black Caps technically didn’t lose. “Let’s not beat around the bush, for a World Cup to be decided in that manner is an absolute disgrace, and the punters shouldn’t have to pay for the ineptness of the ICC.”

In this courtroom artist’s sketch, defendant Jeffrey Epstein (centre) sits with attorneys Martin Weinberg (left) and Marc Fernich during his arraignment in New York federal court. they are co-operating with the investigation. Epstein’s lawyers did not respond to several messages seeking comment. In court last week, they attacked the federal indictment in New York as a collection of warmed-over allegations that should be moot based on Epstein’s deal with the US attorney’s office in Miami. Epstein has pleaded not guilty and is due in court today for a bail hearing. Prosecutors want him jailed pending trial, arguing that he is a flight risk and could attempt to influence witnesses. They said on Friday that Epstein sent $350,000 recently to two individuals, including a former employee, after the Miami Herald started publishing articles about the Florida plea agreement. Epstein’s New York indictment refers to unnamed employees who prosecutors say played a critical role in Epstein’s alleged crimes in the early 2000s and received payments to arrange massages that led to sex acts, with girls then sometimes paid to find others like themselves.

“Through these victim recruiters, Epstein gained access to and was able to abuse dozens of additional minor girls,” the indictment states. Epstein invited some of his victims to fly aboard his private jet, and lured others through an associate who ran a modelling agency, according to hundreds of pages of police reports, FBI records and court documents. His recruiters sought out economically disadvantaged girls from poorer Palm Beach County neighborhoods far from the tony beachfront community where he lived, according to police reports and lawsuits filed in the wake of the nonprosecution agreement. The indictment said the victims were “often particularly vulnerable to exploitation.” Epstein’s former girlfriend, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, was described in accuser Sarah Ransome’s 2017 lawsuit as the “highest-ranking employee” of Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking enterprise. She oversaw and trained recruiters, developed recruiting plans and helped conceal the activity from law enforcement,

Ransome alleged. Jennifer Araoz, a new accuser who alleged last week that Epstein raped her in New York when she was 15, said her encounters with Epstein began when a friendly young woman approached her outside her Manhattan performing-arts high school in 2001. The unidentified woman told Araoz – then 14 – that Epstein wanted to meet her and could help her achieve her dreams of becoming an actress. “I feel like it was really well thought-out to really make me feel as comfortable as possible, to almost keep me coming back,” Araoz said. Epstein’s personal assistant, Sarah Kellen, would call ahead to recruiters in Florida when Epstein was planning a trip to Palm Beach, the police reports say. Kellen, who Ransome said also recruited girls and made travel arrangements for them, “maintained Epstein’s sex schedule in order to ensure that he was not without the sexual favours of young females for any extended period of time,” according to Ransome’s lawsuit.

MBIE slams Mobil over breaches NZME

NZME The Government has given $3 million to a company to develop New Zealand’s first 100 per cent recycled plastic food packaging plant. The funding comes from the Ministry of the Environment’s Waste Minimisation Fund and has been given to Aussie-based Pact Group. This is the biggest grant dished out by the $10-$15 million a year fund programme so far this year. The money will enable the company to create a range of 100 per cent recycled food packaging across multiple common product lines at its new plant in Auckland. These include the plastic meat trays at supermarkets, as well as

packaging at bakeries and deli trays. Pact has more than 110 operation sites in 15 countries around the world, mostly in Australasia and Asia. It employs more than 6000 people and is the “largest manufacturer of rigid plastic packaging products” in Australasia, according to the company’s website. Associate Environment Minister Eugenie Sage said the money means material that is usually discarded as waste can be recycled and reused locally, rather than sent away overseas. Sage said the $3 million spend was an effective response to the new scheme and was a key part of tackling the plastic pollution challenge. “This new plant will contribute

usefully to increasing New Zealand’s onshore recycling infrastructure,” Sage said. The $3 million amounts to half of the total cost of a new plant – Pact will cover the rest of the cost. Sage said that New Zealand’s economy to date has been based on a “take, make and dispose” model, which treats nature and the resources it provides as “free” and disposable. Pact’s Executive General Manager Eric Kjestrup said the plant will be in Auckland. When at full capacity, the site will have the ability to process about 10,000 tonnes of recyclable material every year. “We are absolutely delighted to have received this funding and would like to thank the NZ Government for their support.”

Reserve Bank scuppers AMP Life sale NZME AMP says the sale of its life insurance business is “highly unlikely to proceed” due to challenges in meeting conditions for approval by New Zealand insurance regulator the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. The financial services firm announced plans in October 2018 to sell its Australian and New Zealand life insurance business to Resolution Life for $A3.3 billion while splitting off its New Zealand wealth and advice arms into a separate business. But yesterday the company said Resolution Life had notified it on Saturday that the Reserve Bank would not consider Resolution’s change of control application unless it agreed to have separate,

ringfenced assets held in New Zealand for the benefit of New Zealand policyholders. “As a result, Resolution Life does not expect RBNZ to approve an application that would satisfy the condition precedent.” In a statement, AMP said the failure to meet this condition precedent was “exceptionally disappointing” as the sale of its life business was key to its strategy. “Recognising that the transaction is unlikely to proceed in its current form AMP is now working with Resolution Life to determine whether there is a solution that addresses policyholder interests, regulatory requirements and provides certainty of execution. “This will require negotiation of new terms and is not certain.” AMP said the interests of policy-

holders, both in New Zealand and Australia, have been and would continue to be paramount. “The AMP Limited Board will review any revised transaction to determine if it is in the best interests of policyholders, the company and its shareholders. “If a revised transaction cannot be achieved on acceptable terms, and receive regulatory approval, AMP will retain AMP Life and manage it as a specialist life insurance and mature business with a focus on policyholder outcomes, cost and capital efficiency.” The Reserve Bank says it remains “constructively engaged” with both AMP and the Bermuda-based Resolution Life and has “maintained a clear focus on the interests of policyholders while observing regulatory requirements.”

ments. The ERA heard MSL had taken steps to rectify their practises, including changing their payroll provider to ensure compliance with records keeping and holiday pay obligations. The drive-off policy had since been removed from the individual employment agreements. All fuel pumps had been changed to pre-pay to prevent drive-offs, and affected employees had been repaid. Nonetheless, the ERA determined Mittal personally liable for an additional $3000 in penalties,

The fact that an employee has signed an employment agreement that forced them to pay for theft by customers, does not make the clause or its enforcement legal. The ERA found this is basically the same as charging an employment premium, which demonstrates the inherent imbalance of power in an employment relationship, an MBIE statement says. MSL director Sohan Mittal said he was not aware the company was breaching the employment law, even after he sought legal advice on MSL’s employment agree-

“It’s extremely disappointing to see that Mobil has failed to stop these sorts of issues from occurring in businesses that trade under its brand,’’ he said. The fuel chain should take leadership to ensure that businesses licensed to carry their brand are complying with minimum employment standards and treating their frontline staff fairly. “Failure to do so brings into question Mobil’s claim of being a ‘responsible corporate citizen’ and tarnishes the reputation of all Mobil outlets,” said McMillan.

Fuel giant Mobil has been slammed for failure to ensure stations operating under its brand are treating workers fairly. The Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment says Mobil’s stance over workers having pay docked for petrol drive-offs called into question its claim that it acted as a responsible corporate citizen. The Employment Relations Authority (ERA) has ordered a South Auckland petrol station, Mittal and Son Limited (MSL), trading as Mobil Porchester Rd, to pay $20,000 for breaches, likened to the workers having to pay a premium to keep their jobs. MSL’s individual employment agreements contained a policy that staff on duty would have to cover the cost of fuel taken by customers who drive off without paying. This policy was applied in the case of at least two workers, one of them was under 20. Labour Inspectorate regional manager Callum McMillan said the issue of pay-docking for fuel pump drive-offs has been raised in the past across the industry.

the statement says. Mobil-branded service stations are operated by independent third parties who are authorised by Mobil Oil New Zealand Limited (Mobil) to use the Mobil brand. Mobil said it expected operators of Mobil-branded service stations to uphold all New Zealand laws. This requirement was outlined in Mobil’s agreements with service station operators licensed to use the Mobil brand. “Should Mobil become aware of any circumstances where our agreement with an operator may be breached, we will take action to address as appropriate, which could include coaching and education, to withdrawing the right to use the Mobil brand,’’ the company said. “Following this event, we are reaching out to all dealers using the Mobil brand to reinforce our expectation, and requirement, that they uphold all New Zealand laws in their operation of Mobil-branded service stations.’’ MBIE encourages anyone concerned about the employment situation of themselves or someone they know to call its contact centre on 0800 20 90 20.

OUR VIEW

When the juice is worth the squeeze ... L

ike so many Kiwis I sat up through the night on Sunday and into the early hours of Monday in the hope of being able to say I witnessed our cricket team create history. I sat on the edge of the couch, watching each ball bowled with an enthusiasm which defied the time of day. I cheered, I groaned, I chewed my fingernails down to a nothingness and I’m pretty sure I managed to wear out a very noticeable path on the carpet in front of my television set. I was the ultimate New Zealand sports fan. We didn’t get the result we wanted – and you’ll find my thoughts on that matter a little further on in today’s paper, so I

won’t repeat it here. But, basically it was heart-breaking to watch unfold and left a real sense of nothingness and bitter disappointment as a nasty after taste. Luckily though, I wasn’t alone. It was quite easy to spot those who had endured the same kind of night as me around the place yesterday. Heavy eyes, constant yawns and just a general lack of energy was all the tell-tale signs

you were looking at someone who had gone through the same torment. It’s actually quite remarkable how sport can capture this nation’s attention sometimes. I’ve got friends who aren’t cricketing folk. They don’t enjoy it, they never watch it – but they were some of the people I noticed were still up at 5am, engaging in social media posts and generally hanging off every ball that was bowled. We’re particularly patriotic when we want to be. We tend to stand tall as one and offer support when it’s needed and we can be equally as good at softening the prospect of a heavy blow when things don’t go our way. Sure, we didn’t get the win

and the Cricket World Cup is remaining in England, but for the second time in the past four years, this cricket team of ours managed to bring together the nation and force a lot of other normal parts of life to be pushed to one side, even if it was for just a night. The way the match played out was disappointing, but there’s nothing but pride from this corner for the group of men who did us proud. They toiled better than anyone else, played smart, smart cricket and nearly did the unthinkable in knocking over not only India but also the home favourites, England. The big hope is though that this incredible effort doesn’t go

to waste. How good would it be to see the stocks of our local cricketing scene gain a much needed boost in interest for the coming season. You’ll never get cricket to the same level as what you’ll find in rugby, but there’s enough room for growth there to help bring things back to a more balanced split between the two sports. Mid Canterbury Cricket has been struggling for quite a while and some drastic changes seem almost certain to come out of the woodwork in the new season. But just maybe, this cricket team who don’t know when to back down, might inspire more to get out the whites and have a game.

Anthony, whose 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, had been missing a month, was arrested on charges of child neglect, making false official statements and obstructing a criminal investigation. (Casey Anthony was later acquitted at trial of murdering Caylee, whose skeletal remains were found in December 2008; she was convicted of lying to police.) Ten years ago: In an embarrassing acknowledgement, NASA admitted that in all likelihood, it had recorded over the original videotapes of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Five years ago: The US and the European Union imposed new economic sanctions on Russia; in his announcement, President Barack Obama said, “What we are expecting is that the Russian leadership will see once again that its actions in Ukraine have consequences.” One year ago: Federal prosecutors said a 29-year-old gun rights activist, Maria Butina, had been arrested on charges that she served as a covert Russian agent while living in Washington, gathering intelligence on American officials and political organisations. (Butina was

sentenced to 18 months in prison after admitting gathering intelligence on the NRA and other groups at the direction of a former Russian lawmaker.)

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, July 16, the 197th day of 2019. There are 168 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 blasted off from Cape Kennedy on the first manned mission to the surface of the moon. 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 1911, actress-dancer Ginger Rogers was born Virginia Katherine McMath in Independence, Missouri. In 1945, the United States exploded its first experimental atomic bomb in the desert of Alamogordo, New Mexico; the same day, the heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis left Mare Island Naval Shipyard in California on a secret mission to deliver atomic bomb components to Tinian Island in the Marianas. 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 1965, New Zealand gunners from 161 Field Battery fired New Zealand’s first shots of the Vietnam War from their Bien Hoa base near Saigon. In 1999, John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife, Carolyn, and her sister, Lauren Bessette, died when their single-engine plane, piloted by Kennedy, plunged into the Atlantic Ocean near Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. In 2002, the Irish Republican Army issued an unprecedented apology for the deaths of “noncombatants” over 30 years of violence in Northern Ireland. In 2004, Martha Stewart was sentenced to five months in prison and five months of home confinement by a federal judge in New York for lying about a stock sale. In 2008, Florida resident Casey

ction on climate change is deservedly gaining attention, and resolve to take action, from many New Zealanders – not least our politicians. But in our drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions we should not forget the concurrent goals of ‘no poverty’ and ‘zero hunger’ agreed at the same international forums. The Zero Carbon Bill (ZCB) is a landmark piece of legislation that establishes a long-term framework for New Zealand to meet the 13th United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), that being ‘climate action’. We’re well-positioned to lead the world in climate action. Our proud history of not shying away from large water storage infrastructure projects and shrewd investment in dams means we have enough renewable electricity to meet 60 per cent of all current demand. New Zealand makes up a miserly 0.17 per cent of all global emissions. Despite New Zealand’s total emissions being equivalent to a rounding error from one of the large global emitters, such as China, India and the United States, there is strong bottom-up support for continued improvement. This resolve to take urgent climate action is emblematic of a national ‘can-do’ attitude. Troublingly, while support for the 13th SDG is demonstrated by everyone from vocal school children to the Prime Minister, support for the 1st and 2nd SDG is showing signs of wavering. The 1st and 2nd SDGs are to achieve ‘no poverty’ and ‘zero hunger’ respectively by 2030 and to focus on tangibly improving the lives of the most vulnerable people on the planet. Incredibly, in 2010 humanity managed to meet the previously set 1st Millennial Development Goal (MDG) of ‘halving abject poverty’ and over 1 billion people have been lifted out of extreme poverty since 1990. That’s a stunningly positive story that receives insufficient media attention. However, despite these improvements, over 800 million

Action taken on climate change is looking more and more at odds with the goals of no poverty and zero hunger. people still live on less than $US1.90 a day, and malnutrition kills about 3.1 million children every year. It is a cruel reality of 2019 that while many take modern amenities, such as smart phones, air travel and home heating, for granted there are hundreds of millions of people without enough to eat. New Zealanders should be proud that as a nation we produce enough food to feed ten times our population, and enough dairy to meet the needs of 100 million people. But just as achieving 80 per cent electricity generation from renewable sources does not demonstrate sufficient ambition in the fight against climate change, New Zealand should strive to do more towards providing as much safe, affordable and nutritious food to as many people as sustainably possible. To embrace the challenge set by the 1st and 2nd SDGs, our society must appreciate, not vilify, farmers, as modern agriculture is the core means of truly empowering the world’s most vulnerable. The global population is predicted to grow to almost 10

billion by 2050. This, coupled with the (hopefully) continued rising living standards of the world’s poor means demand for high quality New Zealand food will continue to soar. If the planet completely breaks away from logic and fully adopts the ridiculous EAT Lancet diet, with draconian restrictions on milk consumption to unhealthily low levels, world dairy production is nonetheless still required to double by 2050 to meet expected demand. New Zealand farmers are incredibly good at producing food such as meat and milk in the most economically and environmentally efficient manner. So much so that it is better for the climate to drink a glass of New Zealand milk in Europe than consuming the locally subsidised product; this is true even after the long trip the product has taken to get to your glass is taken into account. The biogenic methane targets in the Zero Carbon Bill should be adjusted to a level that is equivalent to the additional warming impact of all other greenhouse gases. A more sensible target should also recognise the importance of

New Zealand playing its part in not only meeting the 13th SDG, but also the 1st and 2nd. Our agricultural sector is eager to embrace the challenge of farming in an increasingly climate conscious world, but legislation must meet the industry half-way and place an equal burden on agriculture to that placed on the rest of New Zealand. By altering the biogenic methane reduction targets to levels that scientists tell us will ensure there is no additional global warming impact, the Zero Carbon legislation can give New Zealand the opportunity to demonstrate to the world how to take climate action, but without sacrificing food production.

■■ARABLE RESEARCH

NZ/UK alliance good for growers Mid Canterbury farmers will benefit from a new relationship between the Foundation for Arable Research (FAR) and its equivalent levy body in the UK to share knowledge and resources to benefit arable growers on both sides of the globe. During a recent trip to the UK, FAR CEO Alison Stewart, visited the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) to identify areas of common interest and finalise a collaboration agreement. She met with Susannah Bolton, knowledge exchange director at AHDB, to gain an overview of AHDB’s research and knowledge exchange programmes, with a particular focus on benchmarking, soil health, integrated pest management (IPM), skills and the environment. Not surprisingly, she found the two organisations had a lot in common. “We are both levy funded and we both work really hard to deliver practical knowledge and tools to help our growers make better decisions and improve their performance. UK and New Zealand growers face similar technical and financial challenges, so it makes sense for FAR and AHDB to combine our efforts and work together on mutually beneficial issues. “I’m really pleased to have formalised our relationship, and,

having identified some areas of potential collaboration, I look forward to developing a mutually-beneficial portfolio of activities and initiatives over the next three to five years.” Stewart said that in the first year, a programme of research co-funded by the two organisations will look at knowledge exchange, soil quality benchmarking, IPM and farm productivity benchmarking. The work will be overseen by a management steering group, which will agree all projects and allocate budget. Bolton said she was delighted to have entered into this agreement. “This marks the start of a co-ordinated programme of research and knowledge exchange to tackle issues common to our growers in the UK and their counterparts on the other side of the world. “There is a huge amount of enthusiasm and momentum behind this collaboration and we look forward to reaping the benefits of working closely with the FAR team in the years to come to provide growers with innovative solutions to a range of mutual challenges.” The Foundation for Arable Research (FAR) is an applied research and information transfer organisation responsible primarily to New Zealand arable growers.

Foundation for Arable Research CEO Professor Alison Stewart says growers will benefit from the new relationship with its English counterpart. PHOTO SUPPLIED

Northland farmer banned from owning cattle for two years A 62-year-old Northland farmer has been fined $5000 and banned from owning more than 70 cows for two years after being found guilty of a range of animal

welfare offences. Kenneth Charles Wood was sentenced at the Whangarei District Court last week. As well as the fine and ban, he

was ordered to pay court costs of $130 and veterinary costs of $525. The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) brought a pros-

ecution against Woods after receiving a complaint about the state of some of his cattle on his Oruawharo property. MPI is concerned that this was

an avoidable situation where animals suffered unnecessarily as a result of the farmer failing to ensure his cattle’s physical, health and daily needs were met.

MARKET REPORT By Guy Trafford The downturn in demand from China on the timber industry illustrates how precarious world trade is at the moment. While not all the blame can be laid at the feet of the Trump versus China saga, it certainly has a part to play. While the timber industry is taking a fairly stoic and philosophical approach, it must be concerned. It appears it is the smaller contractors which are taking the biggest hit, with larger companies having more diverse markets to unload on to. For many years, critics/commentators have been calling for more onshore processing of timber to add further value and hence more jobs, prompted by the news of a local New Zealand clothing company expanding. Albion Clothing manufactures garments for the defence force, fire and emergency, police and others, and hopes to provide a blueprint for others to bring their manufacturing back to New Zealand. At about the same time I received a notification of an Auckland conference called Changing Perceptions. It’s an interesting topic and it turns out it is about the timber and building industries and getting more wooden buildings constructed in New Zealand. Given the building programmes being instigated by government in the areas of health and education, for starters, there seems to be an opportunity to not only reduce some of the GHGs (greenhouse gases) involved in building, which are particularly heavy in the manufacturing of both concrete and steel, and also provide support to the ever-decreasing number of sawmills around the country. With the increasing focus on climate change and water, some lessons coming from Australia are worth looking at. The Murray Darling Basin (MDB) covers about 14 per cent of the Australian land mass, is home to over 2 million human inhabitants and is situated in three states (NSW, Victoria and South Australia). Perhaps more importantly, it is arguably the food bowl of Australia with dairy, cotton, rice and pasture systems being the major users, along with water for human consumption. Vegetables, nuts, grapes and fruit also use the water. Australian taxpayers have paid an estimated $A13 billion in setting up and supporting what was meant to be a sustainable water system for both farm irrigators and the environment. However, it has become increasingly obvious the environment has been short-changed with the river systems depleted of adequate flows of water through the irrigation take and compounded by droughts. The current state of the river system is creating increasing demands that something has to change, however, the conflicting needs of all users has become a very political debate with the system being compared to the Aral sea. The Australian governments’ response has been to instigate buy-back schemes and require greater efficiencies in applications. One of the drawbacks has been by improving the efficiency of water application there has been less water spillover to go back into the river system. What the final outcome of the changes to water use is going to be will take time and increased monitoring to reveal and how Australia meets the competing requirements will be worth watching. Closer to home, one of the solutions to any impact upon river flows affected by takes for irrigation is water storage and while governments and economics and impacts upon natural habitats have recently limited the scale of such storage schemes around the country, smaller private onfarm dams do provide a partial solution, taking water out at peak flows to

help top up flows in times of shortage. The Government is going through a consultation process through MBIE looking at consolidating regional council rules and regulations around dam building which generally come under the Resource Management Act. However, many are concerned that the imposition of large costs involved in obtaining engineering reports, as well as ongoing inspection fees from government. Depending upon the perceived risk of the dam structure, an engineering report could cost between $6000 to $30,000 with annual audit costs of $5000. The concerning aspect is that the size of dams that are seen to be potentially risky are not particularly large or with high dam walls. The proposed regulations would apply to dams or ponds which are less than four metres high and hold 30,000m3 or more, or are four metres or more high and hold 20,000m3 or more. By my basic calculations a dam holding 30,000m3 with seven metres of depth (a 4m wall and 4m below the ground level, with a metre of free wall) would be about 50m wide by 85m long. Given the environment food producers operate in, having water storage is seen as essential and onfarm storage should be encouraged.

Markets Small steps in the schedules this week and mostly in the right direction, however, venison and wool continue to drag the chain. Saleyard prices are the biggest positive with prices outshining the schedules. Sheep While some of the processors’ schedules remained unchanged, what changes there were went in the right direction with the average farmgate price for both lamb and mutton at the same level as what they were same time last year, NZ dollar value aside. The NZ dollar value, however, is important, especially when some commentators are highlighting the fact of this year’s prices versus last year’s and criticising works for “paying too much” for stock as despite the cash value to the farmer being the same – the Kiwi dollar is achieving around 10 per cent less against the US dollar. This means the same meat, depending on what US dollar processors have locked in on their contracts, are about 10 per cent cheaper to purchasers than last year. The saleyards are pushing up livestock values though, as finishers either have or are predicting healthy contracts ahead as lamb, in particular, becomes more scarce. Wool Unfortunately, the same optimism cannot be pointed towards the bulk of the wool clips with the major coarser wools softening in price yet again. The first of the finer wools will go on to the new season’s market this week in Christchurch and will reveal how widespread the drop in prices extends. Cattle Cows had a modest lift this week, but the rise did not extend to the prime steer or heifer grades. Saleyard prices have lifted, however, only small numbers are coming forward so a little difficult to get a good gauge on trends. But judging by the North Island where $3/Kg LW is being achieved for bull and prime, markets are strengthening. Venison Venison continues to go with gravity and yet another drop occurred this week. Prices now match what they were in May 2017. Dairy Farmers will be watching with some interest the results of the next Global Dairy Trade Auction this week. Dairy Farmers of America have indicated they will be putting more SMP onto the market which may mean a further drop in the average price.

Making good use of the things that we find By Tanya Zoe Robinson

he team at Ashburton Museum are always on the lookout for new ways to tell heritage stories, or quirky ways to share the identity of this district. One way we really like to do this is to crowdsource our exhibition content. We get to discover the clever things that local people do or make, as well as the fascinating things that they collect. We think of this way of working as being central to how the very best museums are today. They are about people: the things that interest them, that they are curious about, the experiences they enjoy, as well as how they connect to the place and times we live in or can imagine in the future. These principles have come to the fore over the past few months as we’ve been working on our latest exhibition, Make, Do and Mend. The idea behind the exhibition was to draw out items from the collection that reflect the clever ways that Ashburton locals have made good use of the resources available to them. These themes of creativity, thrift, need or problem solving tie in with a widespread contemporary interest in sustainability and the uses of renewable and reusable resources. Beginning with the collections, we discovered all sorts of examples of local people making, doing and mending. Everything from pot mending rivets (unheard of today) to homemade cake tins made from jerry cans, to biscuit cutters made from tin cans. We also found examples of homemade textiles and clothing, quilting, embroidery samples, and a partially made gentleman’s suit jacket displaying the detailed work that goes into professional tailoring. But perhaps the most fun part of the exhibition we got to include were things discovered through the people in our community. Wombling fun For a certain generation, any ideas about ‘making good use of the things that we find’ is a reminder of a catchy tune and group of furry television characters. When planning Make, Do and Mend, it didn’t take long for the museum team to decide that this exhibition would be the perfect opportunity to introduce a new generation to The Wombles. Of course Wombles weren’t known to have originated from Ashburton, so there was a shortage of examples to be found in the collections. Instead we used our networks to collect up enough Wombles to be the basis of a fun and puzzling kids’ trail. Within minutes of posting a plea to Facebook that “We need Wombles”, the offers

came flooding in from locals and ex-pat Ashburtonians in Australia. Trunks have been opened, spare rooms checked, garages emptied and old toy boxes thoroughly explored. As a result the museum has been flooded with homemade and bought Wombles, Womble books, mugs, games and more. And we may have set off a Womble convention in Ashburton. Every Womble is named after a city or town around the world and, until now, it was believed that no known Wombles came from this region. However, we’ve begun to hear reports that more Wombles have been discovered around the district. They are believed to be visiting a previously unknown Womble, named Rakaia. Just one fuzzy photo currently exists. Bags, bags, bags One woman well known for innovative ideas about reducing waste and making good use of rubbish is Lesley Ottey, who works as a Rethink Educator for Eco Educate, a sustainable resource education provider based in Canterbury. Lesley also helped the museum team crowdsource excellent examples of waste reduction in practice, by sharing bags that she has collected because they are great examples that show people innovative ways to upcycle discarded materials that might

otherwise go to landfill. Lesley is concerned about how much of what is sent to landfill can actually have potential as a resource and not just become rubbish. She runs workshops to teach people creative ideas, such as how to make shopping bags from old clothing. Amongst Lesley’s collection on display at Ashburton Museum are bags made from old feed bags, reused clothing and woven car seatbelts. They are showcased alongside examples of woven kete made using harakeke or flax, an important, sustainable and easily-grown plant that is native to Aotearoa New Zealand. New from vintage Another example of crowdsourced items we have just added to Make, Do and Mend are upcycled blanket vests made by Ashburton local, Megan Robertson. Megan sources quality vintage New Zealand woollen blankets

from second-hand stores, as well as blanket donations from friends and family. She upcycles these vintage textiles into cute and cosy vests for children, giving them a new lease of life. She chooses complementary fabrics to line the vest, making a creative mix of new and vintage. Megan started out by making a vest for her daughter. Friends asked if she could make some for their children or grandchildren.

From there, Megan sold a couple on Trade Me and her business began to grow. She approached a local retailer that sells locally-made items, who was keen to stock them. Megan learned to sew at school and from her mum. All her designs are made on her home sewing machine. Two examples are included in the Make, Do and Mend exhibition at the Ashburton Museum until September.

event for the day, both Methven and Rakaia qualified through good wins in their semi-final matches over the weekend. Playing in front of a large crowd at home, Rakaia were too good for their Southern opponents, running away 35-22 winners. They’ve been the dominant force all season in the competi-

tion, winning the Michael Duff Memorial for the first half of the season, although they did falter losing two games during the Centennial Shield round robin play, including a high-scoring game to Methven a few weeks ago. Methven finished top of the ladder in the Centennial Shield round robin, losing just one

game and hosted Collegiate in front of a big home crowd on Saturday. The match looked set to be a close affair with the scores locked at 10-all for a period before Methven switched up a gear and ran in 27 unanswered points to win the match 37-10 and claim the victory – and a spot in the final.

As the Netball World Cup’s first stage comes to a close, the Silver Ferns’ real test begins. Topping off an encouraging start to their World Cup campaign, the Ferns finished top of their pool with a massive 89-21 victory over Singapore yesterday in Liverpool. The win will see the side progress to group F of the competition where they are set to cross paths with World Cup defending champions and long-time rivals, the Australian Diamonds. The clash against the Diamonds will pose the first real challenge for the Ferns so far in the tournament and could be the turning point of New Zealand’s campaign. Should they pull off a win, hopes of bringing home the World Cup this year will be high among the Ferns camp but a loss could dampen the mood. However, it won’t be something at the forefront of coach Noeline Taurua’s mind just yet with a couple of days yet to prepare and time to reflect on yesterday’s match. As another opportunity to manage court time and test new combinations on court, Taurua said the clash highlighted her side’s strengths moving forward. “One of the most pleasing things is that we’ve got really versatile players and they can play different positions and slowly as the competition is starting to progress, we’re seeing combinations that are starting to form,” Taurua said. “There were some areas that I thought we did really well in and we wanted to work on some set pieces, overall I’m really happy.”

Djokovic takes out marathon Wimbledon final AP For nearly five tight, tense and terrific hours, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer traded the lead, playing on and on and on until an unprecedented fifth-set tiebreaker was required to settle their memorable Wimbledon final. In the end, it was Djokovic who emerged victorious, coming back to edge Federer 7-6 (5), 1-6, 7-6 (4), 4-6, 13-12 (3) and become the first man in 71 years to take home the trophy from the All England Club after needing to erase championship points. “Unfortunately in these kinds of matches, one of the players has to lose,” Djokovic said. “It’s quite unreal.” After facing two match points at 8-7 in the last set, he wound up claiming his fifth Wimbledon title and second in a row. This triumph also earned Djokovic his 16th Grand Slam trophy overall, moving him closer to the only men ahead of him in tennis history: Federer owns 20, Rafael Nadal has 18.

“I just feel like it’s such an incredible opportunity missed,” said Federer, who actually accumulated 14 more total points, 218-204. “I can’t believe it.” He has ruled grass courts since the early 2000s; he has won Wimbledon eight times dating to 2003, and this was his record 12th appearance in the title match. But Djokovic is now 3-0 against Federer in finals at the place and 4-0 against him in five-setters anywhere. This one was unlike any other, though. That’s because, while it was reminiscent of Federer’s 16-14 fifth-set victory over Andy Roddick in the 2009 Wimbledon final, that score is no longer possible: The All England Club altered its rule this year to do away with never-ending matches and institute a tiebreaker at 12-all in a deciding set. At one point during the final set yesterday, Djokovic asked chair umpire Damian Steiner whether the change called for the tiebreaker at 10-10.

The Duchess of Cambridge hands the big prize to Novak Djokovic.

Later, when Djokovic held for an 11-10 lead, it was Steiner who got confused, beginning to call out the score as 11-9, before catching himself.

“I respect whatever the rule is,” Federer said when asked what he thinks of the altered setup. “So really, it is what it is, you know?”

Federer and Djokovic pushed each other to the limit in what became as much a test of focus and stamina as it was about skill. It is the longest final in the history of a tournament that dates to the 1870s, eclipsing by nine minutes Nadal’s five-set win over Federer in 2008. Like that one, this is destined to be discussed for years. “I’ll try to forget,” joked Federer, who is less than a month shy of his 38th birthday and would have been the oldest man to win a Grand Slam title in the professional era. “It was a great match. It was long. It had everything. “I had my chances. So did he. In a way, I’m very happy with my performance, as well,” Federer said during the trophy ceremony. “But Novak, it’s great. Congratulations, man. That was crazy. Well done.” Djokovic has won their past five meetings and holds a 26-22 advantage overall head-to-head, including 10-6 at Grand Slam tournaments and 3-1 at Wimbledon.

■■ OPINION

A bitter pill to swallow By Matt Markham

matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

n the biggest of sporting stages, the difference between defeat and success is so often about the moments. Those little events that can change the path of a match or turn a game on its head in an instant. They’re the unknown, the unpredictable and the game-changing occasions that can polarise opinions. The Cricket World Cup Final had plenty of those moments; that review by Martin Guptill, the umpiring decision against Ross Taylor, that first ball of the England innings that probably should have been a wicket, Trent Boult stepping on the boundary rope and the thick edge of Ben Stokes’ bat in that bizarre overthrow situation. Yet a moment a long time ago, made off the cricket field and most likely in the comfort of a nice swivel chair in an impressive office in some incredible location, will be seen as the moment that decided the result of the Cricket World Cup Final. There’s not much that can be done about it. It’s the laws of the game, that’s that, it’s final. Yet, it doesn’t mean it’s the

Kane Wiliamson talks to his players in a huddle. right outcome and the reactions across the globe in the wake of yesterday morning’s match would suggest that there’s plenty of neutral cricket fans who are thinking along the same lines. There’s a saying that a draw in a sporting final can be a little bit like kissing your sister, but perhaps in this particular instance a draw, at least, would have been the best possible

result considering the outcome of the match. Did the Black Caps lose? No. Did England lose? No. Did either team win? Technically not. Instead, an arbitrary ruling that belittles the very premise of what cricket was built on has decided the sport’s greatest prize. A continuation of the desire to allow T20 cricket to dominate the

sport globally. It’s a rule designed for a format of the game based on how many times players can hit the ball over the rope. Perhaps it’s my sleep-deprived brain that’s making me cranky and no one likes behaving like the little brat who doesn’t get what they want, but surely – just for this occasion – it’s OK to feel a little ripped off. Yes, the rules were clear prior going into the match and everyone who needed to be aware of them, was aware. But, does that make them the right rules? Just to reach the point where a Super Over becomes a deciding moment requires so many different parameters to be met. So many of those little moments need to occur to see scores level at the end of the 100 overs of play – let alone at the end of a second stanza of just 12 legitimate deliveries. So, to say that it’s New Zealand’s own fault for not hitting enough boundaries during their batting innings is a little inept. They set out with the goal of winning the match by scoring as many runs as they could and then taking as many wickets as they could for as fewer runs as they could concede. And in all reality, the New Zea-

landers achieved just that. England never got past the required score, very much in the same way that New Zealand never got past what England managed to score in the Super Over – so therefore, neither team should actually be seen as individual winner and instead joint victors is fitting for the occasion. This isn’t a case of sour grapes either. I, like everyone else in New Zealand should be, am immensely proud of what the Black Caps have achieved during this tournament. They’ve faced adversity, battled against nations with far more resources and financial backing and when it’s counted most, they’ve stood up and dug their toes in and shown fight like no other. Similarly, there’s plenty of credit for England too. They played extremely well in this final especially considering that halfway through the tournament they didn’t look like they’d advance past the qualifying stages. It’s just hard to sit back here after riding every ball through that entire match and come to the understanding that a winner is decided on something so random and unsuited to the occasion.

■■CRICKET

Fans shattered after Black Caps lose by zero runs AP An all-night vigil by New Zealand fans ended in bitter disappointment when they saw their team beaten by England after an unprecedented Super Over and a tie-breaking countback in the final of the Cricket World Cup. Sunday’s final began at 9.45pm New Zealand time and ended, dramatically, about 6.30am Monday when many dejected fans had to drag themselves away from their TVs and head wearily to work. Some of those fans were still trying to work out how New Zealand lost. New Zealand scored 241-8 and bowled out England for 241. In almost any one-day international tournament that would be a New Zealand win. But under World Cup final rules, the tied match went to a Super Over in which the best batsmen of one team try to score the most runs against a nominated bowler from the other. Both teams scored 15 runs in that over but England won on a countback of boundaries scored during the match. It was the cruelest way for New Zealand’s giant-killing run through the tournament to end. When it came to the last of the 50

But New Zealand-born allrounder Ben Stokes guided England to a tie, hitting a six, then taking another six runs in extraor-

dinary circumstances when the ball accidentally ricocheted from his bat for four overthrows after he’d taken two runs. Some supporters immediately vented anger at the rules which allowed a team which had been bowled out to bat again. One for-

lorn fan asked how a team could be beaten by zero runs. Former allrounder Scott Styris was unhappy with the sport’s governing body and tweeted “nice work @ICC you are a joke!!!” Others took the defeat with more resignation.

The New Zealand All Blacks tweeted: “Thanks for the ride you have taken us on over the past six weeks, @BLACKCAPS. You have done New Zealand proud and can hold your heads high.” Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern took pride in how the New Zealanders played and responded. “I feel nothing but pride in Kane and the team. It was an outstanding tournament but that final match will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the most memorable games,” Ardern said. “And it was played by Black Caps who are just outstanding sportsmen, plain and simple. They absolutely deserve our admiration. They certainly have mine.” England match-winner Stokes was born in Christchurch, where his parents Gerard and Deb Stokes still live. Gerard Stokes, who played rugby league for New Zealand, said he was proud of his son’s performance but also sad for New Zealand. “I’m sad for every supporter of cricket in New Zealand but I don’t think anyone could be too disappointed with that game,” he said. He said the grit shown by his son in his match-winning innings of 84 not out “is part of his Kiwi make-up, so we can claim some part of it.”

Stellar season for Lammas

Ready to roar

Cameron Lammas is in the final stages of his most successful season as a jockey, but it could have been even better. The Rotorua-based horseman, who travels regularly to Matamata to ride trackwork, has earned $1,564,808 in prizemoney and is currently sitting fifth on the New Zealand Jockeys’ Premiership, the highest position he has held since his career began in 2001-02. It’s the most stakemoney the 35-year-old has earned in a season, slightly eclipsing last season’s tally, and his 68 wins includes six Group or Listed wins (the same as last season). His personal record of wins in a season is 77, achieved in his first full term as a fully-fledged jockey in 2005-06 after completing his

apprenticeship with Jim Gibbs, and he still has half a dozen race meetings to reach or better that figure. “At this time of year you never know if you’re going to go out and ride two or three in a day or nothing, but I’ll keep trying to get the winners,” Lammas said. “I’m there to win and even if I don’t get many more winners this season, it’s still been a good one for me. “But I still can’t get another Group One win.” Lammas notched his first and only Group One success on Calveen in the 2005 Easter Handicap at Ellerslie and he briefly thought his drought had finally been broken aboard Princess Kereru in the Sistema Railway at

Cameron Lammas Ellerslie on New Year’s Day when she dashed through along the inner, only to be beaten a neck by outsider Santa Monica. “I thought I’d held on, even though we were wide apart,” Lammas said. “If she (Santa Monica) had come up beside me we’d have

beaten her. Princess Kereru got a bit lost in front on her own and she’s a fighter. “All I really want to do is win another Group One. I’ve lost count of the seconds and thirds I’ve had in them. “I remember running second in the Auckland Cup on Rose Of Virginia for Lance Noble. “It was Lance’s last day as a public trainer and I would have loved to have won a Group One race for him, but we got beaten by an outsider again (El Soldado).” Lammas is always on the lookout for the next budding star who may give him Group One glory. ‘’Trying to find the next good horses is always on my mind, but then it’s hard to keep the ride,” he said.

HRNZ Two things firmly stamped Tiger Tara as the horse to beat in next Saturday night’s $250,000 Group 1 Blacks A Fake at Albion Park. First was his ultra-impressive winning return at Menangle on Saturday; second was the upset win of veteran Ohoka Punter in the Group 1 Sunshine Sprint at Albion Park. No disrespect to Ohoka Punter, but the fact he beat boom stablemate Colt Thirty One and others will surely have put a spring in the step of Tiger Tara’s trainer Kevin Pizzuto. Tiger Tara looms ominously after pacing a 1min54.7sec mile rate for 2300m first-up at Menangle. “He ran home in 54.8 and 27.1 and Todd (McCarthy, driver) was stoked,” Pizzuto said. “He did it so well and now it’s off to Queensland”.

Golden girls The New Zealand women’s eight, with Ashburton’s Emma Dyke in the crew, finished first over World Rowing Cup II winners Australia at the World Rowing Cup at Rotterdam in the Netherlands yesterday. Canada made it onto the medals podium in the thirdplace spot. The breezy, unsettled weather conditions made racing dif-

ficult and produced several upsets, including Great Britain’s men’s eight knocking the unbeaten German eight off the top spot. Germany has not lost a race since the start of 2017. The German crew still held on to silver, with New Zealand winning their first men’s eight medal in a number of years, taking bronze.

Cryptic crossword

Tuesday, July 16, 2019

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): To provide yourself with comfort is not quite as easy as it would seem. This will involve some trial and error. Commit to the work. When you’re comfortable, you shine. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): The reason blame is so toxic is that it renders the blamer helpless. If the problem is someone else’s fault, then that’s the person who has the power to fix it. Those who claim responsibility also claim power. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Align yourself with people who get measurable results and be one of them. Feelings are fickle. Chasing them around will be tiring, confusing and pointless. Focus instead on improvements you can track. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Whatever you’re avoiding, it’s exactly the thing that’s going to make you stronger and more capable. Face it and handle it. There’s no promise it will be easy, but you’ll be better for it, guaranteed. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Just as it is human to fear what is different and be drawn to the safety of what is similar, it is also human (and very you) to get curious and do the complete opposite today. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The dilemma you face today warrants discussion. Bring a few people in on it, like a think tank. It just so happens that the more points of view you get, the more clarity you’ll have. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Even though you want to adhere to new behavioural standards, you’re already pretty awesome. You don’t even realise you’re modelling values. You’ve held them so long they’re a part of who you are. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): What is the cost of inaction? Look at that closely because it’s higher than you think. When you tally it up all that’s lost by not making a move, you’ll find it to be a terrible and needless expense. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Unrealistic deadlines turn up the stress to a level that’s neither productive nor healthy. Whatever it is you’re trying to do, give yourself more time and fatter margins for error. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Angry feelings are the emotional body’s attempt at feeling powerful. Unfortunately, the same anger that makes a person feel powerful can prevent them from actually being powerful. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): There’s room for differing opinions. More than one can be right. Also, it’s really OK to have some conflict over matters. If you deny conflict, it remains. Accept and resolve it. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Emotional IQ changes with environmental factors, experience and education. Some are born with an impressive capacity to understand feelings, but emotional intelligence still takes work.

Double success for MCUFC Both of Mid Canterbury United’s senior men’s sides got their seasons back on track at the Ashburton Domain on Saturday, both picking up crucial victories. Coming off their first loss of the season last week, the Mid Canterbury United first team hosted the Universities AFC Gators. Mid Canterbury recorded a strong 7-2 victory when the two

sides first met earlier in the season, but this time around was closer, with Mid Canterbury just sneaking by with a narrow 3-2 victory. Universities applied pressure throughout, and closed the game to a one-goal margin with less than 10 minutes to go on the clock, but were unable to find another goal to force a draw.

The three points gained could prove vital for Mid Canterbury as the division one title race heats up. After moving to the top of the table with their hard-fought victory over Mid Canterbury last week, Halswell United slipped up against St Albans Shirley FC, drawing 1-1. This leaves Mid Canterbury

and Halswell currently tied top of the table, with only goal difference keeping Halswell at the top of the table. In division five, the Mid Canterbury United second team were able to turn their season’s fortunes around against Nomads United White after trailing 1-0 at half-time. Also playing at the Ashburton

Domain, after a quick freshen-up at the half-time break, Mid Canterbury scored two quick-fire goals to take the lead and never looked back, eventually winning 4-2. The result moves Mid Canterbury to fourth on the table, only three points behind the first placed Universities AFC Yellow Jackets.
