Evasive burglar back in custody Convicted burglar Shaun Nathan Hurst is back in custody after evading police for two months.

The Ashburton District Court issued a warrant for Hurst’s arrest on May 14 after the 24-year-old failed to appear for sentence on charges of burglary, theft and dishonestly using a stolen bank card. He had been told jail was the likely outcome.

Hurst used a hammer to smash a window at Stirling Sports earlier this year and made off with an armful of clothing worth about $3000. He was spotted leaving the store, dropping clothes as he went and found in nearby public toilets.

He also admitted shoplifting nearly

$800 in groceries and other items, and dishonestly using a stolen bank card.

Police have also laid a new burglary charge relating to a break-in at the Tinwald Tavern on the same night as Stirling Sports was burgled in January.

Hurst was apprehended recently and appeared in the Ashburton court yesterday before Judge Joanna Maze. She remanded him in custody to August 13 for sentencing.

Duty solicitor Paul Norcross made an application for bail and said Hurst consented to a 24-hour curfew. Police were opposed. Judge Maze said Hurst posed a significant flight risk and it was important the sentencing take place.

The new burglary charge and one other of unlawfully getting into a vehicle were also adjourned to August 13.

Norcross said Hurst suffered from depression and anxiety and had left his previous bail address for a rural property where he had space to deal with his issues.

He said Hurst also wanted the opportunity to put forward an address for an electronically-monitored (EM) sentence like home detention.

Judge Maze asked for an EM report on any address offered, so it could be considered at sentencing.

No pleas were entered on the new charges.

■ MT HUTT MEMORIAL HALL METHVEN

Methven added to hall name

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Mt Hutt Memorial Hall and Heritage Centre is to change its name to end years of confusion over its title.

The board which runs the complex has recommended the Ashburton District Council change the name to Mt Hutt Memorial Hall Methven.

The new name represents a return to the building’s original name, Mt Hutt Memorial Hall, with the addition of the word Methven, signifying the town the hall is located in.

The hall has been commonly referred to as both the Mt Hutt Memorial Hall and the Methven

Heritage Centre in recent years, the latter name coming on board following a multi-million dollar extension, which included addition of a grain and snow tourism encounter, hall of memories and art gallery.

The heritage centre name did not sit well with residents who wanted to retain the historically important memorial hall title.

In addition, the heritage centre title was sometimes confused with the heritage centre in Ashburton, which is part of the Ashburton Art Gallery and Heritage Centre.

Chairman Martin Nordqvist said the board had now decided it wanted to change the name

to the Mt Hutt Memorial Hall Methven, from the title it currently held of Mt Hutt Memorial Hall and Heritage Centre.

He and fellow board members hope the newly proposed name will clear up confusion once and for all.

He said the names of both Mt Hutt and Methven were important, as each had their own historical associations.

“It’s gone back to what it always was, it always was the Mt Hutt Memorial Hall, it was named after the original roads board,” Nordqvist said.

“And people like ‘Methven’, it’s been the name of the town since the 1860s.”

Nordqvist gave an example of just how important the word Methven was to locals, reflecting back to when the town’s high school changed its name from Methven High School to Mount Hutt College Methven.

The board of trustees at the time had to include the word Methven on the end, otherwise a large sector of the community would not have accepted the change, Nordqvist recalled.

“That was the only way it satisfied some local people,” he said.

However, Mount Hutt College today no longer has the word Methven on the end, this having been dropped some years ago.

The Mt Hutt Memorial Hall and Heritage Centre is to change its name to end years of confusion over its title. The new name is to be Mt Hutt Memorial Hall Methven.

A PIE A DAY

Methven dropped from school title over time

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Mount Hutt College dropped the word Methven from its title some years ago, however, no-one seems to recall when.

Board chairperson James McKenzie, who has been in the role about four years, said he had always known the school as Mount Hutt College.

However, his predecessor Carol Wilson said she had always known it as Mount Hutt College Methven.

She was board chair for about six years.

“Nothing came across the board when I was there for an official change,” she said.

A search of old newsletters and Education Review Office documents online around the 2010 to 2012 time show the school sometimes officially referred to simply as Mount Hutt College, without the Methven on the end.

Former principal Don McLeod, who was at the school when it changed its name in the mid-1990s, said by the time he left in 2007 there were some people beginning to refer to the school simply as Mount Hutt College.

“There was no decision made to drop the Methven at any stage in any official way in my time, I think people have just got used to saying Mount Hutt College,” McLeod said.

Former head boy Alister Body, who attended the school when it was Methven High School, and recently had two children graduate from Mount Hutt College, recalled the name change in the mid 1990s.

“There was quite a controversy over it. But it’s interesting as time goes by it’s not so important to people,” Body said.

And he personally did not mind that Methven was no longer in the school’s title.

“Everyone knows where it is,” he said.

Trees past their use-by date to be replaced – council

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Locals perturbed by an abrupt lack of foliage on Chalmers Avenue and north of the Ashburton River Bridge will see plenty of fresh greenery there in the future, advise the council.

Unhealthy and hazardous trees have made way for replacements in both areas.

Hampstead resident Rob Toms said it was a bit sad to see the sudden loss of plum and cherry trees in the middle of Chalmers Avenue, with nought but unsightly stumps remaining.

The plum trees had still been regularly producing fruit, which was enjoyed by locals.

But their removal and replacement will make it easier for large vehicles to travel down the street and has been

planned for several weeks, the council said.

The existing trees were also well past their use-by date with disease and die-backs making them look worse for wear.

They will be replaced with Red Oak and English lime trees.

“We’re hoping to start replanting the replacement trees this week,” Ashburton District Council open spaces manager David Askin said.

Meanwhile, other residents took to social media to express concern about the disappearance of the Ribbonwood and Kowhai trees in the area north of the Ashburton River Bridge.

The area has already been replaced with deciduous varieties.

Askin said the existing trees were not healthy and needed to be replaced.

Right – Plum and cherry trees in the centre of Chalmers Avenue had passed their expiry date and become hazardous to truck drivers, according to Ashburton District Council.

■ WESTPAC RESCUE HELICOPTER

Rising need for help in Mid Canty

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

A Methven motocross rider with a busted ankle, an Ashburton child attacked by a dog and a Mt Hutt skier with a fractured collarbone were among 40 locals shuffled into the red and yellow Christchurch Westpac Rescue Helicopter in the past three months alone.

The service covers from Kaikoura right down to Waitaki yet has seen high demand from Mid Canterbury since April, with nearly a third of rescues occurring in the district.

Across the past 12 months in total, Mid Canterbury has ac-

counted for around a quarter of all call-outs.

According to the Canterbury Air Rescue Trust’s latest report, the Christchurch Westpac helicopter spent around 240 hours in the air between April 1 and June 30.

Just over half of the call-outs it attended were “accident related”, including one patient struck by falling steel from a forklift in Ashburton in April and another impaled by farm machinery in Mayfield in May. Patient transfers from Ashburton Hospital to Christchurch Hospital also accounted for 10 call-outs, including two people

While Prince said every member of the team was focused on delivering the highest possible level of service, the trust are urgently in need of support and donations.

The Rescue Helicopter service is only 50 per cent government funded and the Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust needs to raise $4 million per annum to ensure the rescue helicopter service can continue to provide life-saving emergency response.

In brief

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

Driver causes head-on crash An 18-year-old Ashburton man who fell asleep at the wheel and caused a head-on crash on State Highway One admitted three charges of careless use causing injury when he appeared in the Ashburton District Court yesterday.

Ronin James McIlroy was remanded by Judge Joanna Maze to September 10 for sentencing and the case has also been referred for restorative justice.

Police sergeant Ian Howard said McIlroy was behind the wheel of a car on the Rakaia highway about 6am on March 17 when he dozed off near the intersection of Dromore Methven Road. He lost control of the vehicle, it crossed the centre line and into the path of an oncoming vehicle being driven to Christchurch and occupied by brothers Raymond and Ralph Farnsworth.

The collision destroyed both vehicles and left all occupants with significant injuries, the sergeant said.

Ralph Farnsworth suffered facial injuries, a broken pelvis and multiple leg fractures while his brother Raymond suffered five broken ribs, fractured vertebrae and multiple leg fractures.

A passenger in McIlroy’s car, Joshua Bloomfield, needed stitches to his left elbow and was

required to undergo bowel surgery.

Police said the brothers wanted reparation to address the financial impact of the collision, which included loss of income and expenses incurred by insurance and vehicle finance.

The highway was closed for several hours following the accident with two of the injured flown by helicopter to Christchurch Hospital.

Woman used found bank card dishonestly Others to appear before Judge Joanna Maze were: Aleisha Cherie Dawson, 30, was convicted and ordered to pay reparation of $89 after admitting two charges of dishonestly using a bank card.

Dawson found a dropped bank card in the car park at an Ashburton supermarket and used its paywave ability to buy cigarettes worth $24.50 from the supermarket and chocolate, energy drinks and tobacco worth $64.50 from a nearby service station.

She also admitted a charge of breaching community work.

The judge heard a verbal report on Dawson’s personal circumstances in chambers.

Ethan Dean Cooksley, 21, a builder of Ashburton, admitted a charge of possessing cannabis.

Cooksley was stopped at a police checkpoint on West Street on June 9, where he returned a negative test for alcohol; his vehicle though smelt strongly of cannabis.

Police searched it and found two plastic bags containing a total of 26.33g of cannabis. They also found a bong and scissors.

He said the illegal drug was for his own use.

Judge Maze said Cooksley may have used the cannabis prior to driving but he was not so impaired as to warrant drug testing at the checkpoint.

She convicted and discharged

him and ordered the drugs and utensils be destroyed.

Joshua David Victor Falanisi, 29, a sawmiller of Ashburton, was convicted of wilfully damaging a television and playstation belonging to his brother.

Falanisi’s brother had been living in his garage, but was asked to leave after the discovery of drugs.

Falanisi had thrown the electronic items on the driveway as his brother was leaving.

He was ordered to pay $948 reparation to his brother.

Judge Maze said the background to the offence was Falanisi’s desire to ensure his children were in a safe environment.

Falanisi had initially objected to the reparation, saying his brother would only spend it on drugs.

fined $200, with $130 court costs and disqualified for another six months from October 9.

Malcolm Joseph Fredrick Stuart Wichman, 44, pleaded guilty to charges of possessing a cannabis pipe and an axe in circumstances that caused fear of violence. He was remanded to September 10 for sentence.

Police said they found the cannabis pipe on June 18 when they searched Wichman’s car, which was parked on the side of the Rakaia highway.

The other charge arose when words were exchanged about money on June 25. Wichman, who was seen swinging the axe, said he intended to scare the complainants.

Keagan Douglas Boyes was fined $450 after admitting driving with excess breath alcohol in Mosgiel on June 9. The restricted driver blew 600mcg when police stopped him and found a passenger in the car.

Boyes was also ordered to pay $130 court costs and disqualified from driving for six months.

Zac Dylan Charles Moodie, 32, a labourer, was fined $900 and disqualified from driving for six months after he admitted a charge of drink driving. He must also pay $130 court costs.

Moodie was stopped by police on Forest Drive in Methven on June 17 and then blew 780mcg in an evidential breath test.

It was his second conviction for drink driving with the other one in 2008.

Matthew Victor Artack admitted driving while disqualified near Southbridge on June 7. He had lost his licence for six months on April 9. He was

Greer Ellen Fomison, 33, admitted her fourth conviction for drink driving. She was stopped at 12.30am on March 18 for a breath check, which she failed.

A sample of her blood taken later showed 203 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood; the limit is 50mg.

Judge Maze said it was a high level and followed previous convictions in 2003, 2005 and 2011.

If she was caught again, the starting point for penalties would be prison.

The judge was told Fomison had personal circumstances that led to her use of alcohol as a coping mechanism but she was motivated to change.

Fomison was sentenced to six months community detention, with an 8pm to 8am curfew, 12 months supervision and was disqualified from driving for 18 months.

A 65-year-old man who used his cellphone to send an offensive photo was convicted and ordered to pay $1000 in emotional harm.

Paul Arthur Hyde admitted the charge which arose after he sent an explicit photo of his former partner to her father.

Duty solicitor Roz Burnside said the offence, a breach of the Telcommunications Act, happenedvas the relationship broke down.

Judge Maze said both the woman and her father were victims as the photo caused distress, and they would each receive $500. Hyde had 28 days to make sure the money was paid.

More frosts needed Staveley ice skating rink volunteers are hoping to open this winter, but as it gets further into July it becomes less likely. A spokesperson said yesterday a run of consistent frosts was required, and fingers were crossed that this could still happen. So far there had been some frosts, but even on these nights the air temperature had not dropped very low. “The most we have had is minus two.”

And July was the key month to get the rinks open, she added. The rinks last opened for skating in 2015.

Arrest in murder A man has been charged in connection with the murder of a Ngaruawahia man found dead in McLaren Falls. Mitchell Curtis Rehua Paterson, 26, was found dead in water below the McLaren Falls bridge about 11.30am Friday.

James Lee Green, 27, of Rangiuru in Western Bay of Plenty, has been charged with being an accessory after the fact to the murder of Paterson, a member of the Greazy Dogs motorcycle gang, by helping dispose of his body in order for another man to avoid arrest.

Charged with murder A 28-year-old woman has been charged with the murder of a teenager in the Auckland suburb of Mangere.

Police supported the application for name suppression, which was hesitantly granted by Judge Tony Couch.

Crowds flock to speed shearing

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Moccasins were the footwear of choice and “go, go shear the bugger” the chant at the Tinwald Tavern and Brown Pub at the weekend.

Regular pub entertainment made way for a slice of country life in the form of two Mainland Speed Shear events.

Paul Hodges took out first place in The Tinwald Tavern open category on Friday, while Phoenix Hawkins claimed first in the Brown Pub open category on Saturday.

Both won $700 for their quick handiwork, while Southland Shearer Joel Malcom walked away with $800 for winning the senior category of both events.

“They were both good really good events. They both drew good crowds and both had close finals,” committee member Norm Harraway said.

“We had about the same number of entries as normal … and it was good to see people from as far

as Southland.” But the local talent still shone – with the top three places in the open category at the Brown Pub all awarded to Rakaia folk.

A $1000 prize was on offer to anyone who could crack Rob Sutton’s 18-second record set at a speed shear several years ago, but nothing less than a speedy 22-seconds was seen.

Harraway said the events are designed as a platform to promote shearing, particularly among youth.

First held in the early 1990s, the Mainland Speed Shears, formerly known as the Southern Man Speed Shear Series, also serve as an annual fundraiser to put money back into the sport.

Methven Young Farmers help transfer sheep from truck to stage and ensure no damage to the venue, while a variety of sponsors have contributed to the prizes.

An electronic timing system and leaderboard keeps track of the competition.

Luxton to open her Timaru Two died after being swept off rocks office at the weekend

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Labour List MP based in Rangitata Jo Luxton hopes Mid Cantabrians will be able to make it to the official opening of her out-ofParliament office in Timaru.

Minister of Agriculture Damien O’Connor is to cut the ribbon on the new office at the opening at 11.30am on Saturday.

Luxton said she was excited to be opening the office which would contribute to giving the Labour Party a presence in the Rangitata electorate, and it would be a useful addition to other Labour MPs’ South Island offices, with the nearest being in Christchurch and Dunedin.

“We just think it’s really important to have a presence in the community in the form of an office which Labour hasn’t had for many years,” she said yesterday.

The new Timaru office had been operating at its site at 149 Stafford Street since late June, and is staffed by Luxton’s out-of-Parliament support staff member Jess Hurst.

Anyone wishing to see Luxton personally can make an appointment.

Luxton said the office had operated well with plenty of enquiries to date, and had even served as a drop-off point for people who had donated goods to a family which lost its possessions in a house fire.

Luxton said in addition to the office, she hoped to begin clinics in Ashburton, but had yet to work out a programme and a place to hold them.

Such clinics would serve a similar purpose to the office in that people could use them as a point of contact with the Government, and could pop in to seek advice or voice concerns.

“We ran to the other side and as it slowed down, we looked closer to find a man being pulled onto the boat. Such a tragic event.’’

A Westpac Rescue Helicopter was called to the scene also. A spokesman said as the crew were on way there, they were told one person had drowned.

“On [our] arrival, CPR was in progress on the second patient – a female believed to be in her forties and in a critical condition.

“After a period of time, despite all efforts to save her, the patient was sadly confirmed deceased as well.’’

The male victim is also thought to be aged in his forties, the spokesman said.

The deaths will be referred to the Coroner.

■ PERTH TRIPLE HOMICIDE

Killed boy, 8, was ‘light of mum’s life’ The Kiwi mother and her two children slain in their Perth home have been identified by a friend who has described their deaths as “terrible” and revealed their tragic family past.

Michelle Petersen, 48, and her daughter Bella, 15, and Rua, 8, were killed in their family home on Brixton Crescent in Ellenbrook, Perth, on Sunday morning.

Teancum Vernon PetersenCrofts, 19, who is understood to be the son of Michelle and brother of the other victims, has been charged with their murders.

A friend of the family, Toni Ata, posted a live video on social media after the tragedy.

“I just found out the most devastating news that my friend and her two babies were killed last night … And I’m so, so devastated,” she said through tears.

Ata said she found out about the murders through one of Petersen’s surviving daughters, who sent her a text message “asking for a friend’s number”.

“I sent it back with a message saying ‘hey gorgeous, here’s the number, hope you’re well’,” Ata said.

“To which she replied: ‘Not really Aunty. Mum & Rua & Bella were killed this morning.’”

Ata had already heard about a triple murder having taken place in Ellenbrook so the pieces quickly came together.

“Chills ran through me and the tears came and came and came and came,” she said.

“I sit here grieving for the whole family … it’s just terrible … such a tragedy.”

Disturbed police officers said the bloody crime scene was the worst they had seen after making the grim discovery at a house in Ellenbrook, about 30 minutes’ drive northeast of the Perth CBD. As they opened the door, officers saw Rua and Petersen dead inside, while his sister Bella was in the backyard suffering from critical injuries.

An ambulance was called to the scene but the injured teenager died on the way to Royal Perth Hospital. Police were seen taking a pair of scissors from the home

on Sunday afternoon.

Assistant Commissioner Paul Steel told reporters in Perth on Sunday a senior homicide squad investigating officer had said it was “potentially the most horrific crime scene he has ever been called to”.

“It is a very complex and I would say horrific crime scene,” he said.

Police were initially called about 1.30am to a convenience store on The Broadway before they went to the home.

Ata said Petersen “was doing so awesome” last time she saw her.

“Michelle had such a hard life,” Ata said.

“She lost two babies years ago when they were babies too: sudden infant death syndrome. “And she was an alcoholic for a really long time.

“I always thought if I lost two babies, I’d be an alcoholic too.

Last time I saw her she had been sober for ages.”

Rua was the “light of [Ms Pe-

tersen’s] life”, according to Ata. “She just loved him,” she said.

“It’s so sad that he’s gone too; [he was] such a cute little boy.”

Petersen-Crofts will face Stirling Gardens Magistrates Court next week.

Yesterday, the accused appeared to have a psychotic episode in a Perth court.

“He’s a criminal,” PetersenCrofts said of a person who is unknown at this stage, at his appearance before Midland Magistrates Court.

“He went to take me out bush.

He did it. He came back from my family.”

When Magistrate Greg Smith told him he did not need to speak, Petersen-Crofts kept talking.

“I needed to because mama is with me ... I was painting a picture of Jesus and stayed there for two months. He punched me so hard in the head. So hard.

“I left because I was that scared he was going to kill me. Mama told me to save myself.”

Teancum Vernon Petersen-Crofts has been charged with the murders.

PHOTO FACEBOOK When court security attempted to calm him, Petersen-Crofts lashed out; “What are you looking at, serial killer? He looks like a serial killer and he’s a security guard.”

SUCCESS

Magistrate Smith said due to concerns regarding PetersenCrofts’ mental health, he would be sent to Franklin Centre Graylands Hospital, until his next court date on July 23.

Cup win sparks riots An incredible World Cup final win for France has turned into chaos with riots and looting in Paris.

A group of young people have been seen attacking police, destroying furniture and setting fires in rubbish bins.

A bar has been vandalised while 30 people caused damage and stole goods from a shop in the Champs-Elysées, where thousands are celebrating their Fifa victory, the Sunday Express reports.

The riots originated from the famous Arc de Triomphe and spread across other parts of the French capital.

Fifa has reported the deployment of armed forces.

TVNZ journalist Joy Reid says that riot police are getting serious and are using water cannons to disperse the crowd.

Tear gas has also been used to control the crowd.

Revellers set off smoke bombs in the national colours – blue, white and red – obscuring Napoleon’s triumphal arch as police tackled the crowd using water cannons.

Some also threw objects including bottles and chairs at police forces who responded with tear gas.

Le Figaro journalist Paul Carcenac tweeted: “Clashes between thugs who throw bottles and CRS. People flee through the adjacent streets.”

Nerve agent ‘found in perfume bottle’ The nerve agent that poisoned two people in Amesbury was contained in a perfume bottle, the brother of one of the victims has claimed.

Matthew Rowley said his brother Charlie, who remains seriously ill in Salisbury hospital, told him that he had picked up the perfume bottle, the Daily Telegraph reports.

The claim will raise the question of whether Dawn Sturgess, who died just over a week after being poisoned by the deadly nerve agent, sprayed the perfume on herself, effectively self-administering a lethal dose of Novichok.

Detectives are urgently working to establish how the perfume bottle came to be in the flat, and whether the Novichok it contains comes from the same batch used in the attack on former Russian agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia on March 4.

While the main source of the contamination has now been located, police have warned there could be more traces of Novichok at other locations around Wiltshire.

Several key sites, including Rowley’s Amesbury address and Sturgess’ flat in Salisbury

remain sealed off and police have warned that the cordons would remain in place for some considerable time.

Rowley’s brother Matthew, who has spoken to him on the phone, told BBC News he was “absolutely not the brother I know”.

Rowley’s condition continues to improve in hospital and he is now eating solid food, but Sturgess – a mother of three

– died just over a week after being poisoned by the deadly nerve agent.

Her son, Ewan Hope, has called for US President, Donald Trump, to raise the Novichok poisoning with Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, when he holds talks with him in Helsinki.

The Russian state has denied any involvement in the attempted hit on Skripal, but the Government has said there is no other plausible explanation for how the Soviet era nerve agent came to be used on the streets of Britain.

Hope said: “I don’t share Trump’s politics and I’ll never be a supporter of his, but I would like him to raise mum’s case with the Russian President.

“We need to get justice for my mum. I am so angry with her killers.”

Sturgess’ family have been told it could be months before her body can be released for the funeral to take place. - PA

Everyone’s a little bit gay Harry Styles says everyone is “a little bit gay”. Just days after the Sign of the Times singer helped a fan come out at his concert in San Jose, California, Harry made the declaration to the crowd at his show at The Forum in Los Angeles on Saturday. After reading out a sign from a fan, which said: “I’m gay and I love you,” Harry, 24, replied, “I love you as well. I mean, we’re all a little bit gay, aren’t we.”

His announcement was greeted with huge cheers by the crowd at the show, which was the final concert on Harry’s solo world tour.

The universe is calling Doctor Who fans were on cloud nine yesterday as they were treated to a teaser of the 11th series. The 40-second clip aired during half-time during the World Cup final, and gave a glimpse of the new doctor, Jodie Whittaker – the first woman to play the role. At the end of the clip, the words “The universe is calling,” can be seen before Jodie materialises and smiles. Sharing it on Twitter, the show’s official page wrote: “New Doctor Who, New friends, New Adventures. #DoctorWho.”

Community’s heart shines through S

ometimes it’s just nice to put things to one side for a while and forget about them.

On Sunday at the Ashburton Racecourse it was really heartwarming to see a really strong number of local rural farming families get off the farm for the day and enjoy a day out at the annual Farming Family Day at the Races which was held in conjunction with the Ashburton Trotting Club’s final meeting of the season.

The idea was borne on a blank canvas, with no real expectations or requirements – the theory was simple – a family friendly day which gave those who wanted to

attend something to look forward to that took them away from their normal day-to-day life.

And it appears it hit the mark.

The general feedback from those in attendance was that the day was fantastic with no shortage of prizes and giveaways and many local farming families walking away with something in

their back pocket courtesy of the generous support of businesses from all over the Ashburton District – and further afield.

When you plan an event like this, there are so many unknowns that come with it.

The obvious is whether or not people will actually buy into the idea and be keen to attend, but with more than 350 people walking through the gates to the event during the day, there wasn’t much need for concern.

Food was produced frequently throughout the day and the bar was well-manned and well stocked and MC Craig Wiggins kept everyone on their toes as

they reeled off the winners of more than 100 prizes and secured some key interviews with well known racing figures who tried to tip those there to a winner or two.

Probably the biggest success of the day though is the support that the event received.

The list of sponsors grew by the day and there was such a wide range of prizes offered by businesses that there literally was something for everyone.

Rural Support and Federated Farmers were a huge part of the day, and of course the Ashburton Trotting Club.

Local MPs lent their hands too with Andrew Falloon looking

quite at home working behind the bar while Jo Luxton was very comfortable mixing it with the younger brigade and spending time with all the youngsters enjoying the children’s entertainment.

What it went to show is that when the chips are down, once again this community can rally and do something for the good.

It doesn’t matter what it’s for, but Ashburton is a great wee district for getting in behind something and provided that the organisers are keen to repeat the day in 12 months, you’d imagine that the event will only get bigger and bigger as time goes on.

Email us! editor@theguardian. co.nz Federated Farmers’ new arable chairman plans to promote increased use of domestic grains and seeds in our food and animal feed products.

Growing NZ arable brand is new chairperson’s key aim T

he past month has been a whirlwind of activity for me. I was elected to lead the Federated Farmers Arable Industry Group at its AGM in Timaru last month and just a few weeks later I joined the Federation’s national board.

That’s meant an email inbox that has exceeded its storage capacity on a number of occasions, lots of networking with a new bunch of key industry and political people, quite a bit of time in Wellington, and learning a whole lot of new acronyms!

And while chatting to the media is not in my top 10 favourite things to do, the print and radio media have been positively interested in my new roles with Federated Farmers.

So while it’s been full-on I’m really excited about the challenges and opportunities that are ahead for the arable industry and the wider agri-sector.

I certainly intend grabbing every chance I get to do what I can to grow the New Zealand arable brand and story. I want to promote increased use of domestic grains and seeds in our food and animal feed products and also the ability of the consumer to know the origin of these.

Karen Williams FROM THE FARM

I’ll also be stressing the importance of protecting our industry from biosecurity threats, encouraging greater collaboration between groups that are keen to support agricultural sustainability and profitability, and I’ll try to underline the importance of us retaining a strong social licence to operate, which at times will require us to go over and above our regulatory requirements.

I have had the good fortune to host two government ministers at home on the farm in the Wairarapa over recent months.

Minister James Shaw came to discuss climate change, zero carbon targets and the emissions trading scheme, and Minister Kris Faafoi, along with Labour list MP Kieran McAnulty, discussed the review of the Plant Variety Rights Act (1987) and arable farming in general.

These visits show that members of our new government are willing to get out of Wellington,

put their gumboots on (townie gumboots sadly), and listen to our views on the issues that challenge our industry.

How they deal with our feedback is uncertain at this time but it is imperative that we are in these discussions and building these relationships so they can appreciate our point of view.

I urge farmers and rural folk to be a positive part of such discussions, and take the initiative in your own communities to engage and host key governance, regulatory and policy people.

In my experience these people invariably want the same outcomes as us farmers – the difference is the approaches and timeframes to get there.

I wish to acknowledge this year’s Ballance Farm Environment Award winners, Mark and Catriona White, and Logan Wallace, the newly-crowned New Zealand Young Farmer of the Year.

Along with many of our arable farmers, their passion, commitment and dedication to agriculture enable us all to bask in the glow of what can be achieved when we set goals of being world leaders in high quality sustainably produced food, animal feed products, and consumer goods.

Just as a footnote, as a mother of three school-aged children, I wish you all happy and safe school holidays, combined with suitable amounts of fine weather to usher the kids outside and away from their devices!

It has been truly heartwarming to see the world come together to collectively support the safe return to their families of the Thai boys trapped in the flooded caves.

As farmers our thinking of the world is often shaped by financial markets, trade opportunities and tariffs, the price of the NZ dollar, and the impact of the weather on our trade competitors.

I wonder if we can bottle the enthusiasm displayed in the cave rescue to work together for a good outcome and positively address some of the other challenges that we face on a global scale.

Three women joinYoung Farmers board A technical farm manager with Ngai Tahu in Canterbury is one of three women who have joined the NZ Young Farmers Board.

Ash-Leigh Campbell helps oversee the management of the iwi corporation’s eight dairy farms which milk about 8000 cows.

The 27-year-old was one of two NZ Young Farmers members elected to the board at its annual meeting in Invercargill.

“I’m hugely passionate about the organisation and I want to continue giving back while I still can,” Campbell said.

She joined NZ Young Farmers in 2011 and is a previous Ahuwhenua Young Maori Farmer Award finalist.

The Dunsandel Young Farmers member is studying a Bachelor of Commerce (Agriculture) at Lincoln University.

“I signed up for one year of university in 2014. I completed a Diploma in Agriculture, then a Diploma in Farm Management and am currently completing my degree part-time,” she said.

She has been joined by Wellingtonbased airline pilot Hannah Cameron, 28, who grew up on a dairy farm in the North Waikato.

“I ran for the board because governance has always interested me and NZ Young Farmers is a huge part of my life,” she said.

Woodville farmer and banker Rebecca Brown, 34, has also joined the board.

Rebecca chairs the contest committee which oversees the running of the prestigious FMG Young Farmer of the Year. She is the first woman to hold the role.

Ngai Tahu farm manager Ash-Leigh Campbell is one of three women to join the NZ Young Farmers Board.

“I’m really honoured. It’s a cool feeling and shows women can do anything,” said the mother of five.

“I love being on this side of the contest. My husband, Angus Brown, was a grand finalist in 2010.

“I’ve been around the contest for 15 years and we even convened a couple of regional finals as well.”

The changes mean half of NZ Young Farmers’ eight-member board are now women. The fourth is appointed Dunedin-based director Sharon Angus.

“It shows we’re leading the way in ensuring our board reflects our evolving membership base,” said NZ Young Farmers Board chairman Jason Te Brake.

MARKET REPORT The Ministry of Primary Industries has just announced that the second round of nationwide bulk testing for mycoplasma bovis is about to start in the North Island.

With the North Island dairy calving date generally a couple of weeks ahead of the South Island, farmers in this region can expect to be notified shortly that they will be expected to follow suit.

The time taken to test the samples is considerable and North Island farmers will not be notified if they are clear until November 1 and for the South Island it won’t be until mid-November.

Farms with a positive test will be notified immediately the test is confirmed.

Unfortunately, with the disease very difficult to test for a negative result does not mean that a herd is clear, but just no mycoplasma bovis detected.

For those who have been following the writings of Keith Woodford on the interest.co.nz site will be well aware that the false negatives are only one issue of concern when dealing with the disease and he believes that there is increasing evidence that the disease has been here prior to 2014 and may even go back as far as 2008.

If he is correct in his assumptions then the disease may have spread far wider than previously thought, at least by MPI. In the past week or so at least two more farms have been confirmed with the disease. One in the Wairarapa, a sheep and beef property and the second in North Canterbury, which is a dairy farm.

These farms bring the total of farms that have been confirmed to 54 of which 13 have been cleared so far.

One of the other casualties from the disease is the IHC calf collection charity. In the past $1.4m has been raised from donated calves, but the risk of spreading the disease is seen as too high a risk to run the programme.

Farmers can still provide support through direct donations to www.ihc.org. nz/pledge .

A concerning series of conversations regarding the disease is that farmers have been heard to be suggesting that they will continue to keep feeding milk to calves from ‘hospital cows’, ie cows unable to provide milk to the processing company due to animal remedies treatments but still requiring to be milked.

Feeding milk to calves from cows isolated due to having mastitis or other ailments would be disappointing to say the least and would only be done due to trying to minimise costs of purchasing milk powder or using a potable pasteuriser to pre-treat the milk.

At one time pigs would have been used

to utilise this milk, but it gets a bit complicated now with the risk of leptospirosis able to be passed to cows if pigs are infected (a low risk these days).

But another issue Keith Woodford has raised is that internationally there is now sound evidence that mycoplasma bovis can cross between species including pigs and sheep.

One stalwart in the North Island who has spent a considerable period of her latter years battling with MPI over the protocols small artisan cheesemakers need to adhere to was Biddy Fraser-Davies.

She came to fame after appearing on Country Calendar as a result of winning a national cheese award from her two cows’ milk. Unfortunately, (for her) someone from MPI was watching and within a few days she received a letter advising her she was “non-compliant” and there started her crusade.

Unfortunately, Biddy passed away on Friday night after suffering a severe stroke.

She was 76 years of age.

Sheep Saleyard prices for sheep have been holding well on limited numbers.

A lift of 10c in the lamb schedule has rewarded those farmers prepared to take lambs on to higher weights.

Wool The first wool sale of the new season took place last week at Napier and unfortunately continued the trend that the previous season finished on with prices coming back somewhat.

A lack of the finer end tends to keep the North Island behind South Island wool so this week’s South Island sale will reveal whether the trend keeps extending to the finer clips.

Beef Both prime steer and heifers, as well as cows, received a lift this week. This is likely driven by limited supply and the US dollar holding below 67 cents.

Venison The second South Island processor has lifted venison by 10c to close the gap between the two major processors to only 10 cents.

Generally, with lamb and beef, the North Island commands quite a premium over the South Island, however, venison bucks this trend with a 55c higher price than the North Island.

Sealegs wins copyright case After spending a million dollars on the court case, Sealegs founder Maurice Bryham feels vindicated that the High Court found that former employees had breached copyright over the design and manufacture of amphibious kits for boats he developed.

The court granted Sealegs a permanent injunction against the defendants – Orion Marine, Darren Leybourne, Smuggler Marine Limited, Yun Zhang and David Pringle – and determined that costs and damages were also due.

“Obviously we were very pleased to get the result that we were expecting,” Bryham, who is now the company’s chief technology officer, told the Herald.

“We have spent about a million dollars on the court case so it’s good to see that we can now proceed with costs and damages,” he said.

“It’s a relief that the time, money and distraction to the business is pretty much over to a large extent and that we can get back to selling Sealegs around the

Sealegs pattern and composition of components,” Justice Davison said.

Bryham said the company had sold about 1300 Sealegs units so far, or about 100 a year, and that sales were growing.

FMS has been acquiring assets over the last year or so.

The first acquisition was a 70 per cent interest in Sillinger SAS completed last August.

The company then bought Sealegs Europe SAS in September, giving Sealegs greater control over the sale of Sealegs craft in continental Europe and Africa.

Last October, the FMS bought Lancer Industries, which has a range of own branded products mainly used in marine commercial applications.

In February, FMS bought USbased Willard Marine, which specialises in making small boats for military and commercial use.

For the year to March, FMS reported turnover of $30.3m, an increase of $12.6m or 71 per cent over the previous year.

Its business was established by the fourth defendant, Leybourne, a former employee of Sealegs, and the first defendant Yun Zhang, court papers said.

Shortly afterwards the sixth defendant, Vladan Zubcic, also left

his employment at Sealegs and joined Orion Marine.

Sealegs alleged that Orion Marine and the other defendants infringed its copyright interests as the creator of original artistic works as expressed in three specified models of its craft, each of which are equipped with its amphibious retractable leg system.

In the decision, Justice Paul Davison said: “I find that what the defendants did copy was a substantial part of the Sealegs copyright models by reason of their adoption and reproduction of the Sealegs arrangement or pattern of features.

“By doing so they did much more than ‘filch’ the core design concepts and features embodied in the Sealegs pattern, they unreservedly appropriated it.

“Having first appropriated the Sealegs arrangement or pattern, the independent design work thereafter undertaken by the defendants resulted in some different engineering solutions and a different appearance, but nevertheless retained the essential

KiwiRail CEO Peter Reidy to head construction arm Fletcher Building has picked up KiwiRail chief executive Peter Reidy to head the company’s construction division, which oversees the problematic Buildings + Interiors unit.

The Auckland-based company will move current construction head Michele Kernahan to lead its building products unit as part of the move, with Reidy joining in early November.

Fletcher’s acting head of building products, David Thomas, will shift back to general manager of Winston Wallboards.

“We remain focused on stabilising our construction division, and in particular, increasing our focus on lower-risk, more profitable sectors such as infrastructure and roading,” group chief executive Ross Taylor said in a statement.

“Peter has a strong track record of leading infrastructure businesses, including in his current role at KiwiRail and previously as

Peter Reidy chief operating officer infrastructure services with Downer Group in Australia.”

Fletcher is restructuring its businesses under new CEO Taylor, which includes getting the construction unit on an even footing after it took on a number of unprofitable projects in its B+I business.

From this month, Fletcher restructured into seven divisions from its previous five, including a standalone Australia unit which could grow over the next five years to equal or exceed the size of Fletcher’s New Zealand operations.

Fletcher is also selling its Formica and Roof Tile businesses.

Reidy will end a four-year term in charge of the state-owned enterprise and has been working closely with the new administration on how to best fund the company in an environment where rail has been included in the national land transport plan for the first time and is seen as an integral part of a countrywide strategy.

KiwiRail’s board said it has immediately started a search for a new CEO. Fletcher shares last traded at $7.01 and have climbed 27 per cent from a trough in early April.

Recalled prams still available in NZ Prams with the same design to a model that severed an Australian child’s finger are still available online in New Zealand.

Numerous models of the MacLaren prams have been recalled in the United States but can still be bought here.

An Australian mother, Gloria Hawk, faced a horrific ordeal when her young son lent over the stroller got his finger stuck in the

folding hinge, severing the top of his finger off.

“We were just in shock, there was blood everywhere,” Hawke told the Sydney Morning Herald.

Seventeen other children in the US have had their fingers cut off or damaged in the stroller’s hinges.

One million Maclaren strollers have been recalled in the United States following a string of fingertip lacerations and amputa-

tions caused by the stroller’s hinge mechanism.

In New Zealand, Maclaren strollers are still available on Trade Me, sold through The Nile, and other e-commerce sites such as Ubuy.

However, the products are no longer available to purchase from Farmers, Mighty Ape, Baby City and other mainstream retailers which previously stocked them.

Swagman’s winter trek gone awry

BY CONNOR LYSAGHT

W

inter in the Ashburton District can be slightly chilly at the best of times and can get much worse than that. This is not recent news – it has been observed for a century and a half that winters in Canterbury have deadly potential.

The story of one unlucky “swagman” has been recounted in several works of Ashburton history, and it is a story that encapsulates the dangers that winter presented to early European settlers in New Zealand.

In order to tell the tale of Jesson Davis the swagman, it is important to set the scene and acknowledge the challenges of the 19th century swagman.

A swagger’s life Swagmen, or “swaggers” as they were sometimes called, travelled from one end of the country to the other in search of temporary work, usually on farms. They were named after their swag, or luggage, which they unfailingly hauled along on their journeys.

As written by an anonymous correspondent for the Otago Witness in June 1908, “their only home [was] the gaol and the road”.

According to this writer, a swagman’s pack could weigh at least 18kg or more, and was often carried for up to 18 to 28 kilometres a day.

“Suffering and ill-health from exposure, from cold, [and] from bad weather” were some of the swagman’s greatest ails and, with this in mind, it can be said that the story of Davis was a worstcase-scenario for a swagman on the road.

Davis’ journey Davis’ fateful journey is told in the Early Days in the Ashburton County by A Hewson, and Bush, Bullocks & Boulders by William Vance. Finer details vary slightly, but both accounts complement each other to produce the definitive tale.

According to Hewson, the winter of 1862 was one of the worst in Canterbury’s history. Davis had stayed at Mesopotamia Station and he started in the morning with the intention of walking down to Hakatere Hut. Davis had no trouble crossing the Rangitata as he went, but he was soon to make an assumption that would make his journey harder.

Davis reasoned that since there was little snow at Mesopotamia, there would be even less as he travelled down-country.

Davis found that his reasoning was dead wrong once he reached Potts Hill.

When he glanced down on the landscape, he saw that the snow only got worse towards Hakatere Hut. Davis was not swayed at the sight of heavy snow ahead and stayed his course, continuing as the snow got deeper.

Complications At one point Davis threw away his swag, which may have occurred on Lake Clearwater, since Davis claimed at a later point that

1 – A hefty blanketing of snow.

2 – Pre-1900 photograph taken at Mesopotamia Station, where Davis embarked from in 1862.

3 – Cartoon of a swagman, from William Vance’s Bush, Bullocks & Boulders.

4 – Horse and dray at Tinwald. Davis was likely pulled in a similar vehicle up to Christchurch.

4 he saw nothing but ice when he scraped the snow away.

Despite no longer being laden by a heavy swag, Davis’ condition worsened significantly as he approached Hakatere Hut. Davis was fighting the overwhelming urge to sleep and by this point he had lost all feeling in his legs.

Suddenly, he stumbled into a fence, and was forced to crawl.

Luckily, by then, he saw a light coming from the hut and began to cry out.

Some musterers heard his cries and emerged, picking him up and carrying him indoors to safety.

Unfortunately, these two musterers by the name of Bill Allen and Jim Bradford were unable to treat his legs themselves and they had to seek out a doctor.

In the morning, Dr Enderby was brought from Greenstreet Station and he intended to amputate. However, this was not possible to perform at Hakatere, so the only other way was for Davis to be brought to a hospital

in Christchurch.

Davis was driven for four days on a bullock dray up to Christchurch, where he was sadly relieved of his frostbitten legs.

Then and now Jesson Davis survived the whole ordeal and was later seen working on a farm in Kirwee where he rode a horse using a saddle with pockets for his upper legs. Jesson’s story represents just how dangerous the elements could be in early New Zealand,

emphasising not the dangers of the country’s past, but also the degree of comparative safety we enjoy today.

Winter wear is better than ever, indoor heating is more efficient, and safety measures and protocols are firmly in place for when winter delivers more than we ask for.

Thankfully, it no longer takes four days to travel to Christchurch, which is great considering how long it can sometimes feel getting there today!

Chiefs camp confident

Hampstead players think of what could have been, after their last minute loss to Methven on Saturday.

■ RUGBY

A season of change

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Hampstead’s senior rugby team has had its fair share of disappointment over the years, but the disappointment they felt after their loss to Methven on Saturday was different.

It wasn’t so much disappointment that they lost, it was the disappointment of knowing how far they had come and not getting the reward they wanted so much at the end – a win over one of their fellow local teams.

Hampstead came agonisingly close to ending their nine-year Watters Cup winning drought twice in the past three weeks.

They were leading on Saturday with time almost up but Methven scored a try to snatch victory right on full time – the same way they lost to combined competition runners-up Rakaia a fortnight before that.

After years as the cellar-dwellers in both the combined competition and Mid Canterbury Rugby’s Watters Cup, the side had new coaches at the helm this season – Shaun Bovey and Craig Dwyer – who were determined

to turn the club around.

It was a big mountain to climb, but they managed to make it a fair way up.

Although the feeling of disappointment would probably linger with them for a while to come, Hampstead closed the book on 2018 knowing that they were a lot closer to becoming real Watters Cup contenders than they were a few months ago.

They won their final two games of the Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Cup and gave each of the four other Mid Canterbury teams a scare – for a while at least – in their Watters Cup games.

Bovey and Dwyer knew they had a huge task at the start of the season. Their side had picked up the odd combined competition win in recent seasons, but their last nine Watters Cup campaigns had not gone well.

Turning a team like that into title contenders was not likely to happen quickly.

When a club was losing game after game, year after year, as Hampstead had been doing in recent years they tended to leak players.

Players went to other clubs where they were more likely to get that winning feeling a bit more regularly.

But Bovey was hopeful that his side’s performances in 2018 would not just stop that player drain – it might also help lure a few players back to Hampstead.

He remembered the side’s first training session for the year, where only four or five players turned up.

By the end of the season they had 30 players regularly turning up to train. The whole feeling within the club had changed.

“Where we have come from in 12 months is pretty incredible.

“I’m so, so proud of these boys and the effort they have put in,” Bovey said.

Turning Hampstead into a competitive team had meant giving them structure and cleaning up their discipline, without losing the flair and natural ability so many of his players had, Bovey said.

“They haven’t given up, they haven’t thrown their toys out of the cot, and they have stopped scrapping,” Bovey said.

“Next year, hopefully, if we start early enough and work on a few things we will hopefully be competitive in the Luisetti (combined competition) too.”

Starting training early next season shouldn’t be a problem, either.

“They are begging for us to start pre-season training earlier than what we did this year, and they can see where we are going,” Bovey said.

Bovey said the thing he took the most heart from after his side’s last-minute losses to both Methven and Rakaia in the Watters Cup round was actually the disappointment on his players’ faces.

It showed just how much it meant to them.

He said seeing his side’s progress on the field had been great, but Hampstead had also had some wins off the paddock.

Dwyer had been named assistant coach for the Mid Canterbury A side, while Hampstead’s manager Jason Tennant had been named manager.

Bovey, too, was set to coach the Mid Canterbury under-18 side.

After a stellar 15-year career, why has the evergreen 33-year-old never played representative football? Sutton will on Saturday bring up an historic milestone when he becomes the first player in the Rabbitohs’ long and illustrious history to play 300 games for the club. Since debuting in 2004, Sutton has done just about everything in the game except play rep football. He will become the 32nd player in the league’s history to reach the 300-game milestone when he runs out against the Wests Tigers at ANZ Stadium.

McCullough, Satae free Tevita Satae and Andrew McCullough have escaped suspensions after the pair came to blows in the Warriors’ 26-16 win over Brisbane.

Warriors forward Satae and Broncos hooker McCullough were both sin-binned for their part in the brawl in the first half on Sunday.

Both sides came together after Satae raised his elbow in a tackle and caught McCullough in the throat. McCullough responded by throwing a flurry of punches, which resulted in him being marched for 10 minutes. Both were charged by the match review committee but will be free to play this week.

New Zealand rowers strike gold at Lucerne Robbie Manson is set to scull for New Zealand at the world championships – and based on Sunday night’s performance, he’s set to win gold.

There’s no mistaking the confidence in the Chiefs camp ahead of their quarter-final against the Hurricanes. It’s an exciting time of year, and with a win over the Hurricanes in Hamilton on Friday, they landed a blow against their quarter-final foes. However, Brodie Retallick has stressed to his teammates the importance of not letting that excitement get the better of them in the week leading up to the first round of playoffs. “It’s playoffs, do or die, so there’s that extra added pressure. As long as we’re nice and clear in the head and don’t overthink it heading into it, we should be all right. But it is exciting. It’s a great buzz.”

The women’s pair of Grace

Prendergast and Kerri Gowler continued their dominant run, though they were given a tough test by their Canadian rivals.

While they were expected to win gold, a surprise came with the Kiwi men’s pair of Thomas Murray and Michael Brake.

Having sat out the World Cup regatta last month due to injury,

the pair shone in Lucerne, overcoming a nervy final 500 metres to claim gold.

The women’s eight also claimed gold, going one better than their second place finish in Austria.

The crew led their race throughout, and recorded a comfortable victory by two seconds.

McGregor denied the Origin factor played a role in their drop in form, saying NSW frontrower Paul Vaughan was their best player against the Tigers.

The New Zealand number one has closed with a twounder 68 to finish 14-under par for the tournament, six shots behind South Africa’s Brandon Stone, who carded a 10-under 60 in his final round. Stone missed an eight-foot birdie putt on 18, which would have seen him post the first 59 in European tour history. Fox now heads to Carnoustie for the British Open, starting Thursday night.

Swans eye AFL finals

Jackie Gilbert sends down a bowl in the Henselite Singles at the weekend.

■ INDOOR BOWLS

Wilson juggernaut rolls on Grant Wilson added another Ashburton indoor bowls singles title to his already bulging resume on the weekend when he won the Henselite Singles at the McNally Street Stadium.

From an initial field of 14 players, Wilson saw his way through to the final where he beat Rakaia’s John Gibbs 16-6 to qualify to represent the district at the national final later in the season.

Half of the field of entrants qualified for the post-section stage of the day.

Gibbs received a direct path to the semi-finals with the bye, while Wilson had to see off the determined challenge of Willow-

by clubmate Murray Bassett.

Colin Gilbert beat Russell Ellis in one of the other quarter-finals while Michael Lawson took on Bernice Laird and was victorious.

In the semi-finals, Gibbs accounted for Gilbert 12-7 and Wilson beat Lawson 12-8.

In the 12-end final, it was Gibbs who made the best possible start, scoring on the first four ends to jump out to a 5-0 lead.

Wilson began his comeback by scoring a four on the fifth end, followed by two threes to put himself 10-5 up in the space of three ends and never looked back, scoring another four on the ninth end and then a two before

Gibbs conceded the match with two ends to play.

On Saturday, a team of 24 players headed to Timaru to compete in the annual triangular representative tournament against North Otago and Timaru and Ashburton brought the tophy home with them for the ninth year in a row.

A perfect round, in which they won all six games, first thing in the morning set the tone for the day and Ashburton never looked back winning with 16 wins – well clear of their opponents who each shared 10 wins.

Late last week the Ashburton selectors confirmed their combi-

nations for this weekend’s Patterson Trophy clash against Nelson, Golden Bay Motueka, Marlborough, the West Coast and Canterbury.

Wilson will skip one side and be joined by Matt Markham, Murray Bassett and Mat Bassett while Lawson will be at the helm of the other side with Mark Sheard, Chris Talbot and Ken Mackenzie.

Graeme Chapman is the side’s reserve and Geoff Laird is the manager.

Play begins at McNally Street on Friday night with one round before three rounds on Saturday and a final round on Sunday morning.

Debutant Colin O’Riordan’s delight made kicking a match-winning AFL goal all the sweeter for Sydney’s Aliir Aliir, who says confidence is key as the Swans’ youngsters drive the club toward yet another finals campaign. Aliir, who was born in a Kenyan refugee camp to South Sudanese parents before moving to Australia at age eight, regards O’Riordan, a talented Gaelic footballer who shifted to Sydney in 2015, as one of his close friends.

“To see him debut and be able to play with him was outstanding,” Aliir said.

Horn ‘not in the mix’ Jeff Horn’s dream of a Manny Pacquiao rematch appears unlikely to come to fruition, with the Filipino great eyeing a return to the US and his own management inching closer to a deal to fight Anthony Mundine. Pacquiao made an emphatic comeback to the ring on Sunday, scoring his first stoppage victory in nearly a decade with a seventh-round knockout of Argentine Lucas Matthysse. It was his first outing since losing his WBO title to Horn in Brisbane in July last year. Horn was quick to ask for a rematch but judging by the post-fight reactions of Pacquiao, he won’t get his wish, at least not this year.

Djokovic doubts give way to Wimbledon joy

By Darren Walton Novak Djokovic admits he doubted he’d ever return as a grand slam force, let alone join the pantheon of all-time greats to have won Wimbledon at least four times.

Barely a month after saying he wasn’t sure if he’d even play the grass-court season following a despairing French Open quarterfinal loss to Marco Cecchinato, Djokovic is savouring his most unexpected triumph.

“There were several moments where I was frustrated and ques-

tioning whether I can get back on the desired level or not. But that makes this whole journey even more special,” the Serbian said after seeing off spirited South African Kevin Anderson 6-2 6-2 7-6 (7-3) in the championship climax at The All England Club.

After two years battling a chronic elbow injury and slumping to 22nd in the world, Djokovic bit the bullet in February to go under the knife, but he never dreamed he’d be back winning his 13th slam so soon.

“It’s easy to talk now and look

back at it, but I really am grateful to go through these mixed emotions, turbulences as well mentally, moments of doubt and disappointment and frustration, anger.

“But I’m human and we all have to face that. We all have to go through that.

“It’s a learning curve, it really is.

“It helped me, not just as a tennis player, but just as a human being to get to know myself on deeper levels.

“It’s usually in a struggle that you get to know yourself, you get to have an opportunity to rise like

a phoenix and evolve and get better.”

Djokovic ranks his victory as the second most satisfying of his grand career, behind only his first Wimbledon success in 2011.

He says major No.13 would give him huge confidence heading into next month’s US Open.

Yesterday’s triumph elevated Djokovic above Roy Emerson into fourth place on men’s tennis’s alltime grand slam title leaderboard behind only Roger Federer (20), Rafael Nadal (17) and Pete Sampras (14).

A pair of stakes winners are making good progress toward their returns to action for Gary Vile.

Jacksstar and Rock On earned black type staying victories for the Awapuni trainer before being sidelined by tendon injuries.

“Jacksstar started work a week ago and he’s doing very well,” Vile said.

The rising seven-year-old has won six of his 31 starts, including the Gr.3 Manawatu Cup (2300m) and finished runner-up in both the Gr.3 Wellington Cup (3200m) and the Listed Marton Cup (2200m).

Jacksstar suffered his injury when finishing third in last year’s Auckland Cup behind Chenille.

“He’s had the stem cell surgery and it’s been a long wait with him, but he’s sound and happy now”.

This season’s Gr.1 Auckland Cup had been the target for Rock On before he broke down during a routine track gallop in January.

“He’s been on the walker at (part-owners) Wellfield Lodge for 15 minutes a day and he’ll do a bit more and he’ll be back in the stable at the end of the month,” Vile said.

The son of Road To Rock has won five races and showed his staying potential with a victory in the Listed New Zealand St Leger (2500m) that earned him an autumn trip across the Tasman in 2017.

He finished third in the Gr.2 Chairman’s Handicap (2600m) and Randwick and also placed over 2500m at Flemington.

Rock On hasn’t raced since he ran fourth in the Waikato Cup (2400m) last December. - NZME

Hiflyer team happy Johnathan Parkes was more than happy with Hiflyer’s effort in his Australian debut. The Wanganuibased jockey finished fourth aboard the son of Tavistock in Saturday’s Listed Winter Stakes at Randwick. “I thought it was a good run under the weight (59.5kg), he’s not an overly big horse and there’s a bit of improvement in him,” Parkes said. “He was doing his best work late.”

- NZME

Grunt ready for spring Lofty spring targets await Grunt, a New Zealand-bred son of O’Reilly.

Mick Price produced the colt to win four of his five three-year-old starts, including the Australian Guineas. “Grunt was a lightish Kiwi sort of autumn three-yearold,” Price said. “He had a lovely break after the Guineas and he’s a magnificent four-year-old now.

He’ll be in those weight-for-age 1400m races. He’ll then have a programme into the Cox Plate or Caulfield Cup.” - NZME

Dixon boosts title chances Kiwi Scott Dixon avoided drama in an incident-filled Indycars race on the streets of Toronto to claim his 44th career win and give his championship charge a massive boost.

Dixon inherited the lead a third of the way through the race and powered to his third win of the season while most of his championship rivals ran into problems, including second-placed Josef Newgarden.

The Kiwi nearly doubled his championship lead, which is now worth 62 points ahead of Newgarden.

He led home Simon Pagenaud and Robert Wickens.

“I am worn out – that was definitely a physical race,” Dixon said.

“With those stop-goes it was easy to pick up debris on those tyres and I think that is what happened to Josef. He tried to go a little bit faster going into the last corner, got into the grey and that was pretty much it.

“The first thing that popped into my mind was not to do the same thing.

“It was tough on those re-starts.

We had some issues there with lapped traffic. I understand they were trying to stay on the lead lap but Hunter-Reay was definitely backing us up there.

“Once we got clear of him we were able to run two seconds a lap faster.

“Now we have to keep these points rolling.”

Dixon made a strong start from second and put pressure on polesitter Newgarden.

The two went side by side at the first corner but the defending se-

Ryan Hunter-Reay and Alexander Rossi suffered damage to their nose cones on the same lap and were forced to pit while Aussie Will Power picked up damage to his rear after he was hit from behind by Rossi.

There was carnage on the re-start with Newgarden running wide and hitting the wall, allowing the Kiwi to ease by.

With damage on the car he got swamped and lost a heap of time.

With the field bunched up there was always going to be trouble at turn one and Graham Rahal, Sebastien Bourdais, Power and Rossi were caught up in a multiple car crash.

Despite all of their mishaps – the affected drivers all managed to get in, repair the broken bits and get back out on the lead lap while behind the safety car.

Dixon had control of the race after the final round of pit stops but he got held up by Hunter-Reay, who as almost a lap down. Dixon struggled to get by and started to fall into the clutches of second-placed Simon Pagenaud.

As he tried to get into a position to make a pass on Hunter-Reay, Dixon slid wide and brushed the wall.

It was a rare error from the fourtime series champion and didn’t damage his car. Eventually Dixon slipped by and was able to get to the chequered flag without further drama.

Cryptic crossword

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The word “spoiled” describes what happens when the airflow of humanity is blocked by a cushion. You’re willing to recognise the ways in which you’ve been cushioned by life and are better off for it.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Sleep. It’s such a simple fix that many overlook it. But it’s better than any synthetic fix or natural remedy. Rest can resolve physical ailment, emotional stress or mental fatigue. Try it.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The songbird isn’t singing out solutions, witticisms or entertaining stories.

The songbird is just expressing what comes naturally and the song lands lovely on every open ear. You’ll be such a bird today.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Being weary and overworked has an ill effect on anything you take on, so you owe it to everyone around you to have some fun, relax, ask for help when you need it and generally take good care of yourself.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): When you see the full array of choices you have, the one you actually make becomes more meaningful to you than if you had just taken the default option without thinking about it.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): If you don’t feel like celebrating yourself, or even being yourself, that’s fine.

It’s natural for people in flux. Each day is a new opportunity. Each hour, each moment – you can become a better version of yourself.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Like clouds that pass in front of the sun, the shade people give one another can pass in a moment if you let it. We’re all human. No one says the perfect thing all of the time. Try not to take or give offense.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Open up and share your feelings. Otherwise they won’t know what you’re going through. Also, they won’t know to reach out to you for help when they are going through the same thing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Don’t say “maybe” and keep people wondering. Say “no” and say it fast so people can process the information and move on. This is the cleanest and best way for all.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): While the cynic grumbles about the pointlessness of trying to please people, the optimist accepts that relationships are frustration. Celebrate whatever good comes of them as the miracle that it is.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Playing it cool won’t work today. It takes more confidence to show some emotion. Revealing your feelings, or at least a glimpse of them, lets people know who you are and what you care about.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Don’t jump ship because it’s sitting a bit low in the water. Show a little faith in your vessel. Start bailing. The same goes for your idea, project or relationship.

Back in the top rank P18

Mid-South girls big winners Ashburton’s Poppy Kilworth looks to the hoop during her Mid/South Canterbury side’s win over Buller in a Mainland zone under-17 basketball tournament in Ashburton at the weekend. The Mid/South Canterbury girls had a great weekend, defeating both Buller and Canterbury in a round robin format to win the tournament. Mid Canterbury also had players in the Mid/South and South Canterbury teams in the boys’ draw, which featured nine teams, and the Mid/South Canterbury boys also had a good tournament, finishing fourth. Canterbury Red finished as the top boys’ team, with North Canterbury the runners-up. The tournament was for teams that did not qualify for nationals. Mid Canterbury had three players who did make it to nationals as part of Canterbury teams these school holidays – Sophie Adams, Mia Pearson and Riley Sa. PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 140718-TM-0124
