Quake fires up Trev’s BBQ again

Three aircraft on a food relief mission to earthquake-stricken Kaikoura headed out of Ashburton Airport yesterday beginning what could be the start of an ongoing support link.

The mercy flights were the brainchild of Ashburton pilot Terry Hewitt who decided to build on the district’s relief service Trev’s Barbecue, established in the days after Canterbury’s February earthquake. This was established by Jane and Trevor Hurley and saw teams of volunteers man barbecues and ferry donated food and clothing to Christchurch over many weeks.

When Hewitt contacted him and suggested re-birthing the Canterbury relief service, albeit by air, Hurley had no hesitation in agreeing.

“He said he had the plane and he had two others with planes and they wanted to start taking stuff up today,” Hurley said.

When the barbecue service was launched there was an outpouring of support from the Ashburton District in both cash and goods and Hurley anticipates this will be repeated for Kaikoura.

While the pilots chased grants for aviation fuel (about $200 per plane, per trip) Hurley was on the phone, setting up donation depots at Countdown and New World and digging into his own bank account to fund goods for the first mercy flights.

“We’ve got $3000 worth of meat, vegetables, sanitary products and toiletries on the way and they’ll be flying up to three times a day with similar loads,” Hurley said.

A refrigerated container and a second container will hold goods at the airport between flights.

Ashburton Aviation Museum members have become official carriers of donated goods from supermarket to the airport.

Flight clearance has been organised

with Kaikoura Airport where a storage container has been set up in a hangar and goods will be ferried into Kaikoura by 4WD vehicles where they will be distributed.

The relief project has been given the thumbs up by Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel who encourages people to show their support for Kaikoura.

“The people of Ashburton District are known for their generosity and we know full well how difficult it is in the early days after the earthquakes.

“Trevor is doing a brilliant job of rallying around just making things happen to get help to those most in need,” she said.

People wanting to donate to help Kaikoura’s earthquake victims can deposit money in the Trev’s Barbecue Kaikoura Relief Fund or they can leave goods at either supermarket. The Westpac bank account is administered by Croys.

Donations should be made to bank account: 03 0835 0023227 000.

■ CYBER BULLYING

New focus on online bullying

By Noah Graham

Noah.g@theguardiaN.co.Nz

From Monday Netsafe will embrace its new control over online abuse and Ashburton school counsellors hope it will help to combat an uphill battle.

Mount Hutt College head guidance counsellor Paul Wilkins said more than 50 per cent of all bullying cases he deals with take place digitally – either on the computer or on mobile devices.

Wilkins said it is hard for counsellors from any school to keep up with the rate that technology develops.

The rapid change means students develop new ways of communicating virtually, which is hard to keep track of.

One change that concerns Wilkins is the use of smart phones that can go online without using the school’s server, making it more difficult to monitor the content students are viewing.

Under the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015, Netsafe will become an “approved agency” on November 21, which will enable it to deal with complaints around online abuse, rather than police.

The act gives the power to

punish offenders with a $50,000 fine or up to two years’ imprisonment if they are found to have published material online which has caused harm – emotional distress – to the complainant.

Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Hilary Boyce said schools do their best to limit cyber bullying in the school environment.

Ashburton schools use cybersafety agreements that state students cannot use communication technology to plagiarise, bully or harass other students.

Boyce believes Ashburton is no different to other areas in how it tackles online abuse.

But it will be a while before schools start to see results, she said.

“The new initiatives will take time to make a difference but in the meantime, it is important for all people to think about what they say, who they say it to and what messages they are wanting to see.”

However, it is not just an issue limited to schools, she said.

“I don’t think cyberbullying is just about kids in school – it is a much wider issue that the whole community needs to deal with.

“I certainly know of some adults who are guilty of this.”

■ WAKANUI SCHOOL

Going blue to help those in need

By Noah Graham

Noah.g@theguardiaN.co.Nz

Blue was the colour of fashion at Wakanui School on Monday as the students and teachers dressed themselves in varying shades of blue to raise money for charity.

More than 110 Wakanui School students – along with their teachers – donned themselves in

blue for the colour-coded mufti day which had students donate a gold coin to Diabetes Youth New Zealand.

Wakanui School deputy principal Donna Watson was pleased by the students and their donations which resulted in more than $150 being collected for the charity.

The school had supported the

charity for three years in a row and had decided to after one of their students was diagnosed with diabetes.

Watson said it had raised awareness about diabetes around the school.

She said it was good to support the cause.

“Any excuse to dress up in blue for a good cause,” she said.

■ ASHBURTON HOSPITAL

Hospital’s new AAU blessed

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

Cultural and religious leaders of Ashburton gathered yesterday to bless the new Acute Admitting Unit at Ashburton Hospital.

The facility is one of only four level three rural hospitals in the South Island.

Level three hospitals offer 24hour medical cover and 24-hour access to radiology and laboratory services.

On Sunday, November 27 there will be an open day for the public to walk around inside the new unit and get a feel for how it will be when it opens in early December.

The new unit is part of the $8.7 million of refurbishments to the Ashburton Hospital, of which $1.5 million was raised by the community.

Major donators are Advance Ashburton Community Foundation in conjunction with the Mackenzie Charitable Trust, the Lion Foundation, the Ashburton Licensing Trust and the Trevor Wilson Charitable Trust.

Murray Cleverley, chair of the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB), is pleased that the new

Canterbury District Health board chairperson Murray Cleverley, Ashburton Health Services Manager Bernice Marra and Ashburton Hospital Clinical Director Dr John Lyons stand in front of the old ambulance bay on the left and the new ambulance bay on the right during the blessing ceremony of the new Acute Admitting Unit.

PHOTO COLIN ENGELBRECHT 151116-CE-035 unit will soon be commissioned.

“This facility is an important addition to Ashburton’s health service capabilities, helping the CDHB better align the way it pro-

vides care with rural community needs,” he said.

Greg Robertson, CDHB chief of surgery, said the new building will be innovative.

“The state of the art unit also allows for medical education, training and research opportunities, helping to attract and retain high-quality staff and visiting

specialists,” he said.

Robertson said it will rely on a new type of doctor, a rural hospital specialist, which requires doctors to manage patients with a wide range of conditions and treatment needs.

Thanks to funding from Advance Ashburton, two new research positions associated with the unit have also been established.

“Together, these innovations allow Ashburton Hospital to build its status as a centre of medical excellence, to offer a wider range of procedures than at present, and to enable efficient transfer of patients to and from Christchurch Hospital,” Robertson said.

CDHB CEO David Meates agreed with Robertson.

“Our new facilities at Ashburton are all part of the CDHB ‘long life, loose fit’ approach to healthcare service provision in Canterbury, creating flexible spaces that will keep pace with healthcare innovations, and within which our staff can provide the right care to the right person at the right time, both now and well into the future,” he said.

Accused needs help with ‘his bad attitude toward women’ A young man described as stalker by a judge has appeared in the Ashburton District Court this week.

Hayden Esmond Reginald Keil, 23, of Huntington, appeared before Judge Joanna Maze to answer charges of assaulting a woman, reckless driving, threatening behaviour, threatening behaviour involving a firearm, wilful dam-

age and four counts of breaching protection orders.

Judge Maze requested psychiatric reports ahead of Keil’s sentencing appearance on December 19, he will however, participate in an audio video link from custody in the Timaru District Court next week, in accordance with legal requirements.

The judge challenged the

charge of assaulting a woman, on the basis no medical backup supported the claim her nose had been broken, although his lawyer, Michelle Barrell, said Keil had conceded he may have hit her with a closed fist, rather than slapped her as originally claimed.

The victim had denied medical assistance following the assault, and all police had to go on was

a laceration to her face and her claim of blurred vision.

Keil has been in custodial remand for six weeks, and Barrell requested a medical report to determine his mental state to support her request for a sentence of supervision to assist him gain insight into his offending.

She said her client now admitted his “erratic behaviour” was

out of control, but he had now admitted he needed help, including “his bad attitude toward women”.

Judge Maze said Keil’s stalking of his victims was the link between all the charges he faced, including the reckless driving matter.

He was remanded in custody pending next week’s hearing in Timaru.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

Judge warns repeat drink driver The following people appeared before Judge Joanna Maze in the Ashburton District Court on Monday: Rory John Gillespie, 19, of Mitcham, crossed the centre line on Pudding Hill Road, narrowly avoiding a collision with another vehicle on October 24.

When police caught up with him, he was found to have been drink driving (EBA 851mcg/l).

Through probation services, Gillespie offered to pay a fine of $400 a fortnight but said he was unable to do community work owing to his work rotation.

He was convicted in January with an equally high reading.

He was disqualified from driving for six months, fined $1000 and ordered to pay court costs of $130.

Judge Maze warned Gillespie, who had been drinking after the Methven rodeo, if he appeared for the same offence a third time, a custodial sentence was on the cards.

Lee Barraclough, 35, of Ashburton admitted a charge of drink driving with an excess

breath alcohol level of 577 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath (EBA 577mcg/l). He was disqualified from driving for six months, fined $600 and ordered to pay court costs of $130.

David William Huria, 55, of Wakanui, admitted a charge of careless use of a motor vehicle causing injury.

He was convicted and remanded at large, pending a restorative justice conference for sentencing on January 30.

Huria failed to see a vehicle overtaking a truck and collided with it on August 19. The victim sustained a fractured pelvis and a broken femur.

Ane Taufa, 53, was convicted on a charge of driving while suspended. She was disqualified from driving for six months and fined $200.

Michaela Jean Culling, 20, of Allenton, admitted drink driving on September 25. She was convicted, disqualified from driving for six months, fined $350 and ordered to pay court costs of $130.

Melvin Cartalia Aragon, 30, of Greenstreet was convicted and sentenced on a charge of drink driving, with a blood alcohol level of 227mg/100ml – almost five times the legal limit for a driver over the age of 20.

He was disqualified from driving for six months, fined $1000 and ordered to pay court costs of $130 and analyst fees of $109 for the blood test.

Adam Leslie Thompson, 37, of Netherby, admitted a third count of driving while suspended. He was sentenced to 60 hours of community work and disqualified from driving for six months.

Preston Anaru Marsh, 25, of Ashburton was convicted and sentenced to 40 hours of community work on a charge of driving while disqualified.

Judge Maze held back from a further period of disqualification in view of the circumstances behind Marsh’s offending.

The court was told Marsh was unable to get a lift to work on the day in question, and had chosen to drive.

Judge Maze pointed to the sig-

nificant advances he had made in his “somewhat troubled life”.

Sophie Rose Moore, 17, of Ashburton, was convicted on a charge of driving while suspended after driving to visit a family member who was in hospital. She was disqualified for six months and fined $200.

Ciaran John Murray, 18, of Ashburton, was convicted on a charge of drink driving as an under 20-year-old (EBA 296mcg/l).

He was disqualified from driving for three months and fined $250.

Hayden Johnston, of Rakaia, admitted a charge of assaulting a woman on July 5.

He was convicted and remanded on bail for sentencing on December 12, to enable time for a restorative justice conference to take place.

Judge Maze said the arrangement should allow Johnston time to find a job and a new address.

Owen Keith Guthrie, 29, of Valetta, is a young man who needs to be taken off the road “in the interests of public safety”, Judge Maze told the repeat drink driv-

er’s lawyer on Monday.

Guthrie, who has three previous convictions for drink driving, was caught for a fourth time on July 23, driving with an EBA of 659mcg/l.

His lawyer Paul Bradford said Guthrie’s last conviction was five years ago, suggesting his attitude was improving. However Judge Maze throught otherwise. She asked for a presentence report to include appendices for all sentencing options before Guthrie returns to court on December 12.

David Bower MacDonald, 23, of Allenton, denied charges of driving while suspended and failing to stop for police signals.

He was remanded at large for a fixtures hearing on January 23.

Jose Manuel Bozada Faundes, of Methven, was convicted on a drink driving charge (EBA 446mcg/l). He was disqualified for six months, fined $300 and ordered to pay court costs of $130.

Arrest warrants were issued for: Elvis Parua and Danielle Althea Groube.

In brief House prices steady House prices in the Ashburton District have plateaued, with the median selling price of $344,500 in October showing little movement over the previous month. That median, however, is more than 17 per cent up on the same month last year, when the median was $293,500. Ashburton, South Canterbury and Rangiora were the only places in Canterbury and Westland not to have prices dip over the past month. The number of days it took to sell remained steady at 32. Volumes, however were significantly down with 44 houses selling in October compared to 53 in September.

Cow population Ashburton District is home to 349,702 dairy cows – that’s 10 cows for every person living between the Rangitata and Rakaia Rivers. And the 405 herds are the biggest in the country, with an average of 863 cows, according to statistics for the 2015-16 season just released by DairyNZ. Ashburton had the highest average production per herd with 363,067 kilograms of milksolids, followed

by Mackenzie with 360,811. Those two districts had the highest production per cow (420 and 438 respectively). The Ashburton district has 284 owner-operators and 121 sharemilkers, with 99,500 effective hectares committed to the industry. Southland has the most cows (422,075) while the North Island has about 60 per cent in total of the national herd.

At risk of collapse A large office block in Wellington is at significant risk of collapse with a major supporting beam “like a broken bone”. A section of Molesworth St that includes Wellington Cathedral of St Paul, the National Library and NZ Rugby headquarters and the Thai embassy has been cordoned off, with people cleared from the area.

The office block at 61 Molesworth Street has been vacant because of renovation work. An engineer involved approached the fire service yesterday, concerned about a structural beam. Fire Region Manager Brendan Nally said “We have a clear structural failure. What’s caused that will be determined later.”

Ashburton Trust chairwoman, Fay Watson, presents her first wrap of the trust’s trading year at last night’s annual meeting.

■ ANNUAL REPORT

Trust ends year in the red

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton Trust might have chalked up a $1.3 million loss in the last financial year, but the figures don’t tell the whole story, says board chairwoman Fay Watson.

That loss for the year to March 31 was heavily affected by the timing of one-off costs and its restructure to become a landlord rather than a hospitality business, Watson said.

Contributing to the red numbers were costs associated with the final Ashburton Trust Event Centre naming rights write-off and trading losses at nightclub The Shed (now closed) and Braided Rivers (now sold).

“It’s been a tough year; the previous year’s experiences have affected our bottom line; the figures don’t look pretty, that’s for sure,” she said.

For the year to March 31, 2015, the trust made a loss of $300,000.

Another contributor to this year’s loss was the drop in valuation of Somerset House.

For the past few years it has seen an increase in valuation but an oversupply of commercial space in Ashburton meant the complex was not fully tenanted at valuation time.

In the new financial year the trust had entered a new era as it sold off its hospitality businesses and assumed the role of landlord, Watson said.

“This change in our business model is very good for Ashburton and the trust going forward,” she said.

Speights Alehouse, The Somerset Grocer and the Hotel Ashburton have all been sold while the Tinwald Tavern and Motels is still on the market. The trust intends to retain only the Devon as a hos-

pitality business.

“The result of this is that the trust is now in a much better place and there’s been an immediate impact on our cashflow without those trading losses.”

The major impact from the change of business model would not become apparent until the 2017/2018 trading year, Watson said.

The sales mean the trust’s trading debt has now gone, although some debt remains on Somerset House.

We now have a stable, low risk profile. Going forward this is exciting and there is the potential for bigger donations to the community.”

When Somerset House is debt free, rentals will be returned to the community in grants.

The sale of some of its businesses does not change the distribution of gaming machine

money from those venues; this will still be given back to the community through the Lion Foundation and will continue to involve a local decision-making board.

With its business sell-off project now well down the track, the trust would be developing a new strategic plan, Watson said.

“But we have to do this very carefully. Whatever we set in place now is for the future. We’ve achieved secure rentals and it’s a far more appropriate model for a public organisation.”

The sale of its businesses was the single, biggest thing the trust had done since it was established in 1949, she said.

“It’s been a very difficult year for staff and I’d like to acknowledge this. They’ve been patient and shown fortitude while they’ve had uncertainty around their jobs. They’ve now got greater job security than they had.”

■ WELLINGTON

Downpour follows quake shakes The quake-rattled Wellington region has received more rain in 24 hours than it would in a month.

Heavy downpours brought slips and flooding to the capital yesterday, only hours after Monday’s magnitude 7.5 quake.

Niwa said Wellington usually received 74.8mm of rainfall at the airport for the entire month of November.

But parts of the region have received much more than that in the day following the quake.

MetService forecaster Claire Flynn said the heaviest downpours were in Wainuiomata, which recorded 109.5mm of rain in the last 24 hours.

Lower Hutt received 94.2mm, Porirua an average of about 80mm, and Wellington 59.6mm at Kelburn.

“It’s definitely pretty substantial rainfall.

Certainly you get events like this every now and then, but they’re not common.”

Flynn said the worst of the wet weather had eased, but there were still a few showers about.

Today would bring more showers, then further rain in the evening. Thursday was a similar story.

“There’s a few showers around at first, but then we’re getting a southerly change and it’s going to be bringing some rain into the afternoon.”

Niwa climate scientist Nava Fedaeff said the rain had hampered clean-up efforts yesterday, with earthquake-affected areas seeing the most amount of rain around the country.

In the Upper Hutt suburb of Belmont, a whopping 83mm of rain fell between midnight and 11am yesterday – and 15.2mm of that was in only one hour from 7am.

Parts of the quake-rattled Marlborough region had also received more than 70mm since midnight.

Fedaeff said another bout of locally heavy rainfall was expected later today through to Thursday. “The wet weather will be accompanied by a surge of unseasonably chilly air and gusty winds from the south. Some snow may even fall across the higher terrain of the South Island.

“The relentless rains will give way to somewhat calmer weather from Friday into the weekend.

“Starting the final full week of November, warmer and generally drier conditions are anticipated. However, another period of active weather is possible toward the last several days of the month.”

The wet weather comes midway through an already wet final month of spring.

Rainfall totals in some parts of the country have already topped average totals for November as a whole.

ext Monday will mark a day of progression in curbing the growing trend of cyberbullying.

Netsafe will begin its new role as the Government’s approved agency under the Harmful Digital Communications Act of 2015.

Netsafe will be able to assess and investigate complaints of cyberbullying, which has up to now been largely the responsibility of the police.

A quick glance at Netsafe’s Facebook page will tell you that it is an independent non-profit organisation that promotes a confident, safe and responsible use of technology.

CEO Martin Cocker said the organisation’s purpose is to enable New Zealand internet users to confidently access digital opportunities and prevent online harm.

The Government has committed $16.4 million over four years to support the cause as the act offers the power to punish offenders with a $50,000 fine or two years’ imprisonment if they are found to have published material online which has caused harm or emotional distress to the complainant.

We finally may be making ground on what has been an uphill battle.

When measures have previously been put in place to prevent abuse online, new platforms have become available that exacerbate the problem.

While it’s not only young people that are victimised online, they are the most vulnerable demographic.

For the first time a generation is able to be reached in the privacy of their own home without their parents or guardians knowing.

They can be contacted at any time of the day and night, without the knowledge or support of their family, and what’s even more worrying, the abused may have no idea who their tormentor is.

It’s a stark and worrying reality.

But now, hopefully, inroads can be made into an issue that has cost young people their lives.

In an ideal world, we should feel safe wherever we are.

But, more realistically, we should feel safest when we are at home. Unfortunately this issue will never be solved, but this is a positive step forward.

It is therefore us as parents and guardians that must take more time to ensure that our children are safe online.

After all, the best way to solve a problem is to prevent it from happening at all.

■ RUSSIA

Trump, Putin to mend ties Russian President Vladimir Putin and President-elect Donald Trump spoke over the phone yesterday to discuss future efforts to improve the USRussian ties, the Kremlin and Trump’s office said.

“President-elect Trump noted to President Putin that he is very much looking forward to having a strong and enduring relationship with Russia and the people of Russia,” Trump’s office said in a statement.

The Kremlin, in a far more specific and longer readout, said that Putin congratulated Trump on his victory and expressed Russia’s readiness to “establish a partner-like dialogue with the new administration on the basis of equality, mutual respect and non-interference in domestic relations.”

Trump’s office said that Putin called him to “offer his congratulations on winning a historic election.”

“During the call, the two leaders discussed a range of issues including the threats and challenges facing the United States and Russia, strategic economic issues and the historical US-Russia relation-

Being right sucks

United States’ President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are keen to mend the ties between their two countries. ship that dates back over 200 years,” it said.

In its readout, the Kremlin added that both Putin and Trump agreed that the US-Russian ties are in an “extremely unsatisfactory” condition now.

“They spoke for active joint

work to normalise ties and engage in constructive cooperation on a broad range of issues,” it said, adding that Putin and Trump emphasised the need to develop trade and economic co-operation to give a strong basis to US-Russia relations.

Putin and Trump also agreed on the need to combine efforts in the fight against their No. 1 enemy – “international terrorism and extremism”.

It said that Putin and Trump agreed to continue phone contacts and to plan a personal meeting in the future. - AP

It seems that the people who first guessed a Trump presidency aren’t happy their joke has come true. The Simpsons have used their traditional chalkboard gag to ‘update’ their now infamous prediction, with Bart using his endless detention to scrawl “Being right sucks”.

The long running animation has been brought up multiple times during the US election for their Season 11 episode Bart to the Future. The futuristic episode saw Lisa as a newly-elected president, having to save the country from economic ruin due to the financial mismanagement of “President Trump”.

World mesmerised by ‘supermoon’ The brightest moon in almost 69 years is lighting up the sky in a treat for star watchers around the globe.

The phenomenon known as the supermoon reached its peak luminescence in North America before dawn on Monday.

Its zenith in Asia and the South Pacific was Monday night. Across the international dateline in New Zealand, it was to reach its brightest after midnight last night.

The moon orbits the Earth in an oval shape. The moon will be at its brightest this week because it is coming closer to the Earth along its elliptical orbit than at any time since January 1948. The supermoon will also bring stronger than usual high tides, followed by plunging low tides the next morning.

Viewers can expect to see a moon about 14 per cent larger in diameter and about 30 per cent brighter than when it’s at its furthest distance from the earth. It won’t be as big and bright again for another 18 years.

NASA says its closest approach will occur when the moon comes within 356,508 kilometres).

That’s from the centre of the Earth to the centre of the moon.

According to the astronomy website earthsky.org, the term supermoon entered usage five years ago when the closest full moon fell on March 19, 2011.

The scientific term is perigee full moon.

In 2034, the moon will come even closer, within 356,456 kilometres. That, too, will be a supermoon.

Dassey to be released Making a Murderer’s Brendan Dassey was reportedly set to be released from prison yesterday. Dassey, now 26, was serving a life sentence for the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach. In August a judge ordered his release ruling his constitutional rights being violated during and in the lead up to his nine-day trial. Judge William Duffin explained police had made false promises to Brendan. When taken into account along with this learning difficulties and age, the judge found they meant his confession was “involuntary”. But in September the decision was cast in doubt as prosecutors launched an appeal. However, a judge has now reportedly ordered Dassey’s release and his lawyer confirmed he is set to be released pending the appeal.

In brief

■ ASHBURTON TRADING SOCIETY

Long-term strategy in place Farm supplies co-op Ashburton Trading Society added $100 million to its group revenue thanks to extra business generated by its new Ruralco card.

Revenue for the year was $209m, up from $119m in 2015, according to figures announced at the company’s AGM on Monday.

There was a gross profit of $8.8m for the year and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation was $228,000 compared to $6.8m and $495,000 last year.

“The financial results for the year are acceptable given the external agricultural market environment,” McKendry said.

ATS cut operating expenses

by $800,000 and in the past two years overheads have been reduced by $1.5m.

McKendry said the group, like its shareholders, was forced to look very closely at operating expenses in that period.

“We have done the hard yards and we are now well on the way to further positive outcomes.

“The cash position of the cooperative remains very healthy and the current year’s trading performance is strong and materially above budget to date.”

He said the financial results reflected ATS’s long-term strategy which had been embedded over the last couple of years and ensured a clear path for future growth.

New Zealand insurers are preparing for claims and damage has been reported from as far north as Hawke’s Bay. A spokesman for New Zealand’s biggest insurer, IAG, said claim numbers were expected to climb in the next few days and inquiries had already been made about Hawke’s Bay swimming pools.

“In terms of the geographic spread of the claims it seems the energy of the earthquake really did get sent north with reports from our assessors of damage to some pools in the Hawke’s Bay region from water movement,” he said.

“Our consumer claims teams assisting customers of AMI and State insurance received several thousand calls through the day,” he said of yesterday’s activity.

A Tower spokesman said the next two days were expected to be busy.

“Day three and four, it will pick up,” he said, identifying later this week for more claim inquiries.

IAG, whose brands include NZI, State and AMI, studied Monday’s

Vodafone, Spark, and Chorus are working together and exploring all options in restoring services to Kaikoura where a 7.5 magnitude earthquake and hundreds of aftershocks have left the South Island town isolated. “In order to support the Kaikoura community, residents, and incoming support workers, Vodafone, Spark and Chorus are exploring a range of options to provide temporary connectivity to the Kaikoura township, including microwave backhaul links to mobile cell sites.”

Much success was attributed to the young but knowledgeable and experienced board commitment to the strategy of retaining a local co-op with a national reach and to management and staff who continued to deliver the best of both worlds to members.

“They have remained committed to this direction even with the reconfiguration of the executive team during recent months, which included the appointment of Rob Sharkie as group CEO.” McKendry stood down at the co-op’s AGM on Monday after 18 years on the board.

A new chairman will be elected at its December meeting.

call volumes and identified its busiest period.

“Understandably, there was a big spike in the morning from 9am to 11am as people were able to first assess damage in the light of day.

“Call volumes dropped back a bit through the day although there was a lift late in the afternoon, possibly as some people from outside the hardest hit areas found time to consider the damage after returning from work and other commitments – including helping others with the immediate response,” the spokesman said.

IAG is now expecting a big lift in calls from the worst hit area as lines of communication re-open and people move from dealing with immediate safety issues.

“We haven’t heard much further north than the Hawke’s Bay, but that is likely due to the nature of damage much beyond the Wellington/Hawkes Bay region being more of the type that would fall within EQC provisions,” the IAG spokesman said.

Mary Jo White, the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, announced yesterday that she will step down nearly three years before the end of her term, clearing the way for President-elect Donald Trump to reshape the way Wall Street is regulated. The SEC, which polices Wall Street and the financial markets, has been a key part of the Obama administration’s effort to rein in big banks following the 2008 financial crisis and prevent future taxpayer bailouts of the industry. The agency has pushed for more oversight of hedge funds and other asset managers, and established rules that make it more difficult for big banks to make risky bets on the markets. - NZME

Vehicle loans easier Turners, the financial services firm formerly known as Dorchester Pacific, has strengthened its ties with Motor Trade Finance by funding a non-recourse loan product that will allow MTF’s franchisees and dealers to sell vehicles to people with a higher credit risk.

MTF chief executive Glen Todd said in a statement that about 90 per cent of the loans were expected to be for consumer purchases of motor vehicles, with the balance for commercial lending such as on trucks and machinery.

Drinks going to pot Constellation Brands, the alcohol giant that sells Corona beer and Svedka vodka, is considering a new approach to livening up its beverages: marijuana. “We’re looking at it,” Constellation CEO Rob Sands said in an interview. “There are going to be alcoholic beverages that will also contain cannabis.” The legalisation of marijuana across much of the US – spurred by election-night victories last week – is creating a huge new market for legal weed. Voters approved marijuana for recreational use in California, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada. That brings the tally of states with legal pot to eight, meaning one in five American adults now lives in an area where it will be legal to get high.

Dollar on the way up The New Zealand dollar gained as US bonds rose in Asia, capping a selloff that drove yields to their highest levels this year and dragged the greenback up with them. The kiwi traded at 71.11 US cents as at 5pm in Wellington, from 70.98 cents. The tradeweighted index rose to 77.47 from 77.18. US bonds have tumbled amid expectations a Trump presidency will stoke the US economy.

Top tips from NZ’s best

Emotion high for Webber’s last race

By Noah Graham

Noah.g@theguardiaN.co.Nz

Ashburton basketball and miniball referees will have the chance to learn from one of the best this weekend.

Mid Canterbury Basketball are hosting Basketball New Zealand lead referee trainer Melony Weallens at the Oxford Street Stadium between 2pm and 4pm on Sunday afternoon.

The nationally regraded referee is holding a session for those who want to enter the world of refereeing and for those wanting to improve on their skills.

Mid Canterbury Basketball

president Wayne Rodgers said the session is free for anyone and will benefit all who turn up.

Weallens will teach miniball and basketball refereeing from kids at the year seven and eight level through to college referees and even parents wanting to clue-up on the sports.

“It will cover from our new referees with miniball to those who want to just brush up on the rules,” Rodgers said.

She will start the two-hour session with an introductory speech with a practical demonstration to follow.

He hopes 40 to 50 people

will turn up to see Weallens as she can teach anyone there something new.

Mid Canterbury Basketball had hosted Weallens earlier last year and they enjoy having her, Rodgers said.

Right - Basketball New Zealand lead referee trainer Melony Weallens will be in Ashburton on Sunday afternoon to teach local referees the tips and tricks she has learnt throughout her career.

Gaze out to rectify awful record in Perth The title credentials of the NBLleading Sydney Kings go on the line when they face secondplaced Perth in a highly anticipated two-game series this weekend.

The Kings tomorrow head to

Perth, where they have lost their past eight matches against the Wildcats, before the teams meet again in Sydney two days later.

Kings coach Andrew Gaze blamed the club’s recent string of losses in Western Australia to

an unfortunate injury run, but looked forward to the challenge ahead of this year’s squad.

“The circumstances have changed. This is a lot different team that’s been over there the last couple of years,” Gaze said

yesterday. “It’s a hostile environment, they have unbelievable fan support. I’m really looking forward to it.”

Gaze is adamant the road to a championship for the Kings includes challenges in Perth. - AAP

■ NETBALL

New comp to run three months Teams will have little respite in the inaugural New Zealand elite netball league next year.

Details of the new-look competition were unveiled yesterday, with six teams to contest an intense three-month competition which replaces the trans-Tasman league.

A Super Sunday opening round features three matches in Hamilton on the same day, on March 26.

The teams face each of their opponents three times in an intense schedule which features some double-game rounds.

There are no bye weeks.

The teams ranked second and third after the 45-match regular season will contest an elimination final on June 25.

The winners of that advance to play the top qualifiers in a grand final three days later, on a Jennie Wyllie Wednesday night.

The five teams who contested the transTasman league for its nine seasons have been joined by a new entity, the Northern Stars, based in south Auckland.

There are three Super Sunday rounds, in Hamilton (round one), Invercargill (round six) and Auckland (round 12).

All matches are played on Monday, Wednesday or Sunday.

Netball NZ chief executive Jennie Wyllie hopes the schedule will capture the imagination of supporters.

“The ANZ Premiership signals the start of a new era for netball in New Zealand,” she said.

“We can’t wait to showcase the athletes, the teams and the league to fans all over the world.”

Mark Webber is eagerly awaiting freedom from the stress of competition but admits his final professional race will be emotional.

The Australian will end his 20year racing career with the world endurance season-ender in Bahrain on Saturday.

“Bahrain is obviously not a normal race for me.

“It will be pretty emotional,” Webber said.

“To arrive there knowing it is the last time I will compete seriously will be a big moment.”

The 40-year-old has raced more than 200 Forumula One grands prix over 12 seasons, winning nine and finishing third in the drivers’ championship on three occasions with Red Bull.

He has also previously spent time with Minardi, Jaguar and Williams.

Webber won the world endurance championship with Porsche last year with Germany’s Timo Bernhard and New Zealander Brendon Hartley after retiring from F1 at the end of the 2013 season.

The Canberra driver believes the time is right to hang up his helmet after the six-hour race at the Bahrain International Circuit.

“Of course we would love to go out with a victory,” Webber said.

“But irrespective of the result, I think it would be nice for me to have a smooth day and look back on a very, very long career of which I’m, of course, very proud.

“I thought about it a few times.

I will walk away from the car just one more time, take the helmet and balaclava off and the ear plugs out, doing all these things for one last time.

“That will be very different, but I’m looking forward to not having to do this in the future.”

Webber’s Porche team sit fourth on the championship leaderboard after victory in Shanghai earlier this month, with their teammates Romain Dumas, Marc Lieb and Neel Jani taking out the title with one race remaining.

Webber is set to take up a role as a Porsche special representative at global events and work as a consultant on motorsport programmes.

$35m Fijian franchise A revolutionary plan is being worked on to end the player drain from the Pacific Islands by establishing a Super Rugby franchise in Fiji – and it has already secured more than $NZ35 million backing.

Details of the proposal have been revealed by London’s Daily Telegraph.

It is understood that more than four global companies and two leading kit manufacturers have pledged to fund the proposal to create “the best club side in world rugby” on the island.

The new team, which could be operational by 2018, would be based in a new 20,000-seat stadium included in plans to develop the Port Denarau Marina in Fiji, close to the island’s airport in Nadi.

Ben Ryan, the Englishman who guided Fiji to their historic first Olympic gold medal when they defeated Great Britain in the sevens final in Rio, claims the move would be a “world game changer”. Some 19 per cent of professional players worldwide are Pacific Islanders or of Pacific Islands descent.

“I believe the impact of this plan would see Fiji win the World Cup one day,” said Ryan, who is spearheading the initiative.

“We have shown in sevens what we can do.

“And if you just look at the impact the Fiji players are having on the tier one countries, they are their star players in New Zealand, Australia, England and France.

“That generation has gone but the future players are there and

Wasps No.8 Nathan Hughes admits his decision to pledge national allegiance to England was motivated by the financial rewards on offer. Fijian-born Hughes became available for the grand slam champions in June after qualifying on residency grounds and made his debut off the bench in Saturday’s 37-21 victory over South Africa. Members of the Fiji squad who will run out at Twickenham this weekend are paid a mere STG60 a day, a sum dwarfed by the STG22,000 England players receive for each international. - PA

Ryan has outlined the proposals to World Rugby.

“No one has ever gone to Super Rugby and said ‘we would like a franchise in the islands’ and we have got more money than any other franchise in Super Rugby and we can guarantee that,” he said.

“Plus, we can build a new stadium that is a 10-minute drive from Nadi airport and surrounded by 20 five-star hotels.”

The move comes after World Rugby launched a working group to review the residency laws for international rugby, which allow players who have

we have to make sure they stay on the island and they get the right resource, the right coaching and the fundamentals around it, like we did with the sevens, so there is no reason why we can’t dominate.

“It is not pie in the sky.

“We have got some of the biggest companies in the world backing this. They have ties with the Pacific Islands.

“We will have more money behind the team than any other Super Rugby franchise.

“We could make them the best club side in the world.

“Imagine the talent that we have got in France? They would

That has led to Fiji, Tonga and Samoa haemorrhaging talent since the game turned professional in 1995.

“There are 165 Fijians playing in France alone. It is ridiculous.

“For me, it comes back to giving us an opportunity on the island with a franchise.

“The number one thing is to have a Super Rugby franchise. It is the simplest way of doing it.

“It sends the strongest message and would reap the quickest results.”

TAB happy to give Irish juicy odds in rematch Ireland may have shocked the rugby world to upset the All Blacks for the first time in their rugby history in Chicago, but the TAB have shown minimal faith in the Irish to make it back-to-back wins in Dublin this weekend.

Show me the money

Two Saturdays ago, the TAB were paying $9 for a supposedly unlikely Irish victory.

Ireland take on the might of the All Blacks for the second time in two weeks and look to claim back-to-back wins over the reign-

ing world champions for the first ever time since the two countries first met in 1905. The likelihood of that happening appears to be unrealistic, according to the TAB. The betting agency still regard Steve Hansen’s side as favour-

ites, paying $1.13 for a win.

Although they have reduced the $9 odds they gave Ireland for an unlikely win in Chicago, they are still paying an unfavourable $5.60 in front of a home crowd in Dublin.

Not for the first time, the French rugby team has been hit with a crisis on the eve of an important test – but Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has scoffed at talk they’re vulnerable. The Australian mentor has strong links to France, having played for and coached Parisian heavyweights Stade Francais as well as playing for southern team Castres. Cheika has enormous respect for the country, and knows too much to be lulled into any sense of doom surrounding France’s occasionally erratic side.

World Cup in China China’s ambitious sporting plans will see them bid to host a Rugby World Cup ‘sooner rather than later’ according to World Rugby chief executive Brett Gosper. The earliest World Cup China have a shot at hosting would be the 2027 edition as bidding for the 2023 one is closed with Ireland, France and South Africa vying to win the right to host it. China is already keen to host the FIFA World Cup as its president Xi Jinping is well known as aa passionate fan of the sport.

■ CRICKET

■ RUGBY

Izzy’s future uncertain This could be a big week for Israel Dagg.

A huge week perhaps in determining where his future lies.

Of all the areas that Ireland hurt the All Blacks in Chicago, the one that caused the most surprise and disappointment was their domination in the air.

Ireland won the fight for contestable kicks.

It was a knockout victory and all the more impressive given this has been an area in which the All Blacks pride themselves.

Getting off the ground to win back kicks has become a critical facet and the All Blacks won’t be willing to come second in that area again.

Which is why it’s likely that Dagg will be recalled to the right wing.

It’s not by any means certain but tactically the coaching staff are likely to feel a sense of comfort having the aerial prowess of Dagg and Ben Smith in their back three.

That’s a mix that leaves them better protected against Ireland’s kicking game.

Dagg remains one of the best in the world game at attacking the high ball in the air both in attack and defence and he has a huge boot that can be utilised to clear the All Blacks out of trouble.

His defensive portfolio is his main selling point, but his selection doesn’t necessarily leave the All Blacks short of strike power as Dagg showed in Rome that there is plenty of running left in his legs.

In fact, Dagg’s performance in Rome – his form all season – has opened the door on multiple possibilities.

Now that he’s established he can play on the wing, he’s become an attractive horses for courses type option.

Israel Dagg is no stranger to scoring tries for the All Blacks.

PHOTO NZH

The double impact running power of Julian Savea and Waisake Naholo is a wing combination that is best used against sides such as Australia and Argentina that predominantly look to attack through their running game.

But for the likes of Ireland, Wales and England – teams with sophisticated kicking games – pairing Dagg with one of Savea or Naholo is potentially a better selection.

That theory could be tested in Dublin if Dagg is given the nod and if he is, he knows exactly how he wants to play, because it is the basic philosophy he has used all year.

“I have just got to go out there and play,” he says in reference to the period last year when he went out and strangled his creativity by thinking too much.

“If I get the ball, just run hard.

“If I am chasing kicks, get up and put some pressure on.

“To be honest, I didn’t know how this year was going to go and the best thing that happened to me was probably when I took about five months away from the game when I was injured.

“When I came back in April I was super excited and every week I have been super excited.

“If I am going to be honest, in previous years I haven’t been that excited because I was more nervous and worried about making mistakes and doing things wrong.

“Everything has fallen into place.

“I am playing wing and enjoying it.”

If he’s picked and he plays well, the next possibility for Dagg to ponder will be whether he wants

to stay in New Zealand beyond 2017.

While he’s made himself a key part of the squad this year, Nehe Milner-Skudder will return from injury next season and even though he’s only 19, Rieko Ioane is going to be hard for the All Blacks to leave out.

What if Dagg commits through to 2019 only to find himself out of favour in 2018?

He has to be asking himself about his longevity and whether, at 28, he’s got the drive, energy and physical ability to still be holding a place when the competition will be even more fierce.

He has to be asking that because French club Toulon are believed to be keen on him and as everyone knows, they seem to genuinely believe money grows on trees.

Canterbury Spring Championship

DRAWS ■ Golf Ashburton Golf Club November 19 Match of the day is a Par round for the Barnett Cup and Bermaline Vase.

20 pts for the RMF Cup. Starting Times: Morning 8.00am. Afternoon report to the Pro Shop at 11.30 for a 12 noon start.

Dark day for the Aussies Steve Smith has showed class under pressure after fronting one of the most difficult press conferences of his career yesterday.

Speaking with honesty in the face of a completely disastrous day for Australian cricket, Smith admitted he is “angry” and “quite sick” after seeing his team collapse to lose to South Africa’s Proteas by an innings and 80 runs in Hobart.

“Yeah it’s (humiliating).

“I’m embarrassed to be sitting here to be honest with you,” Smith said.

“Too many times we’ve lost wickets in clumps.

“8-32 today, 10-85 in the first innings and you’re not winning any games of cricket when you’re doing that.

“It’s happening way too consistently for my liking.

“We’re not being resilient, we’re not willing to tough it out and get through tough periods.

“Right now it’s not good enough.

“I am hurting.

“I need players that are willing to get in the contest and get in the battle and have some pride in playing for Australia and pride in the baggy green. That’s what I need.

“At the moment it’s not good enough and I’m quite sick of saying it to be honest with you.

“It’s happened five tests in a row.”

Smith begged Australian fans to keep supporting his team despite losing a disastrous fifth test in succession.

His call for calm came as former English captain Michael Vaughan declared the Australian team has simply hit rock bottom.

Smith admitted his team has to find a way to bat with resilience when conditions don’t favour them.

“Stick with us,” Smith said.

“We’re doing our best trying to turn things around.

“We’re working hard and we have to find ways to be successful and to be resilient.

“This series is gone now and we’ve been outplayed, but we have a lot to play for.

“We’ve lost our last five tests.

We’re better than that.

“Whether it is seaming, swinging or spinning, we are having trouble.

“We didn’t have that fight and resilience.

“That’s what I asked for from the boys and we didn’t have that fight and weren’t resilient enough.

“We’re not finding ways to get these big partnerships together and they’re able to dictate terms.

“It’s a bit of a low point for myself and for Australian cricket.

“We’ve lost the first two tests and that hasn’t happened for a while.”

■ COUNTIES CUP

In brief Top 3YO back

Megablast primed to fire Rising staying star Megablast is thriving ahead of the sternest challenge of his brief career.

The five-year-old has thrilled trainer Nigel Tiley with his progress toward this Saturday’s Gr.3 Ssangyong Counties Cup on his home track at Pukekohe Park.

Megablast has a near impeccable record for his trainer with two wins and a second since joining his team and the gelding has done particularly well since his most recent runaway success at Trentham.

“He had a couple of days in the paddock after Wellington and then he spent some time at the beach before he came back to the stable,” Tiley said.

He will be surprised if the son of Shinko King doesn’t give another bold account of himself at the weekend.

“He’s a very progressive horse and he gets in very well at the weights for the cup,” Tiley said.

“I’m hoping the rain stays

around for a little bit longer for him as well.”

Megablast won four of his 11 starts for Wanganui trainer Kevin Myers before he transferred to Tiley’s operation.

He cruised to victory at Ellerslie in his first appearance from his new quarters, he finished second to Pacorus in his open class debut in the Mitchelson Cup and then accounted for his former stablemate Zentangle at Trentham last time out.

Meanwhile, another hot prospect in the Tiley stable is building up for his return to racing.

Bao Shan Magic has had two wins and two seconds from his four appearances and he has had an easy time since he came back from a three month break to finish runner-up at Ellerslie in September.

“He had a tough run first-up on a heavy track,” Tiley said. “We’ve freshened him and he’ll be ready to Megablast is up for a big challenge on Saturday. race in a couple of weeks.” - NZME PHOTO RACE IMAGES

Johnson gets around Danielle Johnson faces a hectic travel schedule this weekend.

She will ride at Pukekohe Park on Saturday before boarding an overseas flight after she was booked for the Stephen Graytrained Newlands in Sunday’s Singapore Gold Cup at Kranji.

“Stephen was looking for a good lightweight jockey and got in touch to see if Danielle was available,” her agent Kevin Booth said. “It means missing Te Rapa on Sunday but this is a great opportunity that she wasn’t going to pass up.”

Sacred Elixir will resume his New Zealand career in the NZB Karaka 3YO Mile at Ellerslie on January 29. Trainer Tony Pike has settled on the Listed event to open the top three-year-old’s Gr.1 Vodafone New Zealand Derby preparation.

In between times, the son of Pour Moi will tackle the Gr.2 Avondale Guineas on February 18. “A mile fresh-up should be ideal and he will only need a quiet trial or an exhibition gallop beforehand,” Pike said.

■ QUAKE EFFECTS

Kawi camp not confident

Nicholson counting blessings

A victory celebration would come as a surprise party to Allan Sharrock this weekend.

The New Plymouth trainer has Kawi in Saturday’s Gr.1 Railway Stakes at Ascot, but the conditions of the feature mile have blunted his confidence.

“If he won then he would exceed my expectations,” Sharrock said.

“It’s a handicap and he’s got to carry 58.5kg and he’ll be giving the one that won the other day four kilos and not two.”

He was referring to Perfect Reflection, who was successful in the Gr.2 Lee Steere Stakes, in which Kawi finished a respectable fourth.

“He blew out noticeably and it was 37 degrees,” Sharrock said.

“He got over there late and he had very little fast work in the week before the race, but I’m happy with him.”

Kawi, who is in the care of his regular strapper Emma Davies in Perth, will again be ridden by Michael Walker.

“This is the race of the three that I always thought would be the biggest battle,” Sharrock said.

“I honestly can’t see him winning at the weights, but I would like to see him hitting the line strongly and I expect him to be doing that. “He’ll be right for

Kawi will again be ridden by Michael Walker when he tackles the Railway Stakes on Saturday.

the third one then.”

Also making Kawi’s task that much tougher is the influx of a number of high-profile interstate challengers for the $A1 million purse.

His opposition will include the

Chris Waller pair of Good Project and Mackintosh while Darren Weir will be represented by the last-start Gr.3 Chatham Stakes winner Rageese, part-owned by Windsor Park Stud.

Group One performer He Or

She, trained by David and Ben Hayes and Tom Dabernig, is also in the mix.

Kawi’s three-start Western Australian campaign will end with the Gr.1 Kingston Town Classic on December 3.

■ LAZARUS

Long-time friendship leads to track success

By Tayler STrong A friendship formed 16 years ago led to the breeding of Lazarus, who won the New Zealand Trotting Cup by 10 lengths in a record 3.53.1 for the 3200m at Addington last Tuesday.

Lazarus was bred by Gavin Chin a Mosgiel pharmacist and Brian West, of Studholme Bloodstock, Coes Ford.

“Brian and I have been friends for about 16 years since I bought my first mare Box Office Hit from him,’’ said Chin.

Chin had added to his broodmares with the purchase of unraced 3-year-old Bethany from Kerry Hoggard, of Auckland when West made a chance contact.

“He (Brian) mentioned he had a free service to Art Major as one of his mares had died and we went into partnership to breed from Bethany,’’ said Chin.

Bethany left Champagne Dreams to Art Major.

She was sold for $19,000 as a yearling.

Champagne Dreams won a race from the Mark Jones stable at Burnham and nine more in Australia.

The next foal from Bethany was Lazarus (by Bettor’s Delight) who was sold for $75,000 at the premier yearling sale.

Grant Nicholson experienced first-hand the force of this week’s massive earthquake.

The Opaki horseman was on his way home from New Zealand Cup and Show Week when he got the fright of his life.

“We left Christchurch at 7.30 on Sunday evening for the 2 o’clock ferry and the locals told us later that we were the last vehicle to get through,” Nicholson said.

“We were about halfway between Kaikoura and Blenheim when it hit – I thought the truck was going to tip over.

“The road was rolling towards us and the sky in front of us lit up.

“Apparently, that was the energy released from the earthquake.

“Everything was rocking and rolling, scary stuff.”

Nicholson said his horses came through unscathed and he was more than happy with Nymph Monte’s Riccarton performances, despite missing out on his major goal.

The Tavistock five-year-old claimed the Listed double of the Spring Classic and the Metropolitan Trophy Handicap to earn favouritism in last Saturday’s Cup. Nymph Monte finished fifth behind Pump Up The Volume with an effort that Nicholson said he was proud of.

“Certainly the rain didn’t help and he didn’t help himself either.

“When he jumped he banged into another horse and he overraced after that, but he pulled up really well.

“If he had dropped out then I wouldn’t have bagged the horse, but he fought on well and I thought it was a top effort.”

Looking ahead, Nicholson now has the choice between two Ellerslie options for Nymph Monte.

“I’ll get him home and then decide, but it will either be the City of Auckland Cup or the Zabeel Classic,” he said.

Bonus for Triple Crown

Just days after he captured the attention of the harness racing world with his demolition job in the New Zealand Trotting Cup the much needed new superstar of the sport repeated the dose with a scarcely believable effort to win the New Zealand Free-For-All.

With his name changed from Bettor Than The Best, he is now owned by Phil and Glenys Kennard, Trevor Casey and Kevin Riseley and has achieved greatness from the stable of Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen.

West then dropped out of the partnership and Chin continued in a sole capacity.

He has entered a colt by Art

Major from Bethany for the premier yearling sale in February.

“Bethany was way over my budget when I bought her but I discussed it with my wife and did my research,” said Chin.

Bethany, an $82,000 yearling, is by Christian Cullen, winner of the Trotting Cup in 1998.

She is a sister to Crusader Spirit (1.54.4) and half sister to United

We Stand (18 wins in Australia), Victory Spirit and Captain Webber.

Chin watched the race on television. He had intended to make the trip to Christchurch but had a sleepless night on Monday and did not feel up to it.

“I was just stunned by the performance,” he said. “I just can’t describe the feeling.”

- NZME

A clean sweep of three northern staying features will realise a massive pay day.

New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing and the Auckland Racing Club have announced a $1 million bonus to any horse to win the Gr.3 Laser Plumbing Te Puke City of Auckland Cup on New Year’s Day, the Gr.2 Go Racing Syndications Avondale Cup on February 18 and the Gr.1 Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup on March 11.

“The ARC acknowledges the support of NZTR regarding our three feature summer staying races,” chief executive Cameron George said.

“The bonus will add further excitement to what will be a fantastic summer of racing at Ellerslie.”

Sports Reporter Wanted – a sporting all-rounder who wants to become a star.

The Ashburton Guardian has an opportunity for a young reporter to make their mark in the world of sport.

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about sport – of all codes, who is keen to get to know the triers, the grinders and the good team players as well as the sporting stars.

You’ll be a one-person sports team and you’ll be playing the field, covering everything from rep rugby and netball through to primary school cricket and football.

The Guardian is a progressive provincial six-day-a-week newspaper and our sports coverage is one of the cornerstones of our success.

Our readers are passionate players, watchers and armchair critics and they love nothing more than reading a good yarn about local players and local matches.

Sport, of course takes place all day, every day and at all sorts of hours and that means your working day will rarely be nine to five; your working week rarely Monday to Friday.

You’ll also be required to swing one of our cameras from time to time Weekend work is a given but that means you’ll have time off during the week to enjoy the host of recreational facilities our district has to offer. You could be skiing less than an hour after you get out of bed, water skiing within 10 minutes of home, tramping, hiking or fishing all within about 40 minutes drive.

If you’re the potential sports star we’re looking for then we’d love to receive you letter of application telling us about your passion for sport along with your CV.

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): “Stop bothering me” is the cry of every sibling on this earth, and also every person who has chosen another to spend his or her life with. Why is it that “bothering” is so often a form of love?

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Those who want to know it ask Google. You’re very charming when you throw up your hands and say, “Dunno!”

You’ll do this today, and a formidable opponent could become an ally.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The people around you are getting spoiled by your kindness. Do they understand the difference between rights and privileges? You afford everyone respect, but make them earn it.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): A person’s taste in media is a window to the soul. This is not to be ignored these days while you’re trying to suss someone up. Your prediction in this regard will be meaningful.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’ve a tremendous need for self-expression today. You might not be sure what you want to say but what if you could open something in your brain that just let this kind of work flow unencumbered?

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Favours are currency, but they are not currency you want to necessarily count on. The thing that you do for another person may or may not come around, but you’ll be better for it either way.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): This day will be imbued with more style than content – more “show” than “go.” Try not to get frustrated by the lack of progress. There should be just enough drama to keep things interesting.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Which is harder: to be accountable to others, or to be accountable to yourself? The latter, obviously. This is a time to place a higher priority on your own business, health and well-being.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Seek likeminded friends. If you make the time to be with these people, the laughter, the good ideas, the feeling empowered and even maybe invincible -- that’s what will come.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Your mother got this correct: What the crowd does is popular, not right. Do not confuse the two. If 12 people say a dumb thing, it’s still dumb.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): If, as the Chinese proverb says, “a book is like a garden carried in your pocket” then a phone is a full-fledged farm.

You’ll use yours for more than gaming and talking today.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The good stuff won’t stay in your hands. It’s constantly being traded, as is the nature of the truly good stuff.

Knowing this, you can adopt a mindset to better appreciate your moments.

Sport Phoenix game in doubt Wellington Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick admits a postponement would serve his team well if Westpac Stadium is deemed unsafe to host the A-League match against Melbourne Victory. Phoenix officials were awaiting an announcement from stadium officials yesterday as engineering assessment was carried out in the wake of Monday’s earthquake. Merrick was in the dark about progress but said he was ready to negotiate a different date with Football Federation Australia if Saturday’s game is postponed.

Boost for women Southern Stars wicketkeeper-batter Beth Mooney has hailed the news that Cricket Australia will live stream all none-televised WBBL games this summer as a wonderful initiative and celebrated the continuing strides made by women’s sport. The 47 WBBL games that won’t be among the 12 screened by Network Ten will be live streamed on cricket.com.au and will also be available via the Cricket Australia Live App, and the WBBL Facebook page. It continues the recent run of major announcements of improved broadcast coverage for females across several leading sports.

Run-outs get College home

BY NOAH GRAHAM

The Ashburton College Year 9 team have pressed their way into the third round of the NZ Community Trust National Knock-Out Tournament after a 28-run win against Timaru’s Roncalli College yesterday.

Ashburton lost the toss and were put into bat on the artificial pitch and mustered 86 for nine.

Isaac Baizley top-scored for his side, and the game, with an important 29.

The low total proved to be too much for Roncalli as they were

Cheika wary of fickle French P15

bowled out for 58 in the 27th over.

Roncalli struggled to build any partnerships of note as Jack Soal led the bowlers with three wickets for 19 runs off his 6.3 overs.

However, it was Ashburton’s fielding that did the most dam-

age as they ran out five of the Roncalli batsmen.

The usually 40-over game was reduced to 35 for each side to accommodate for the weather.

It was the first game the year nines had played after Mount Hutt College could not produce a team and defaulted.

Murray crowd favourite New world No.1 Andy Murray began his campaign at the ATP World Tour Finals with an impressive 6-3 6-2 defeat of Croatian powerhouse Marin Cilic at the O2 Arena in London.

Murray was greeted like a returning hero by the home crowd as he strode on to the blue court for his first match since officially taking top spot and he did not let them down yesterday.

Murray wrapped up a 20th consecutive victory with a flourish to join Kei Nishikori at the top of the group after he beat Stan Wawrinka earlier.
