Bringing home the bacon, to Kaikoura BY SUE NEWMAN
SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Hail bashes its way through P2
When the call to help the earthquakehammered people of Kaikoura was made, the Ashburton District opened its hearts and its collective wallet. On Tuesday afternoon the first aircraft – in what has become a revolving airborne mercy mission ferrying aid north – took off from Ashburton Airport. Since then several more flights have been made and will continue to be made, taking food and groceries into an area that is now cut off from the world and airlifting residents out. Between them pilot Terry Hewitt and Canterbury earthquake food aid guru Trevor Hurley hatched the relief plan – Hewitt called on his pilot mates for help and Hurley revived the Trev’s Barbecue service that fed thousands in Christchurch after the February 2011 quake.
Overnight the project developed a life of its own, Hurley said. “We put it on Facebook and it’s gone absolutely beserk,” he said. “Donations are coming into New World and Countdown and money is coming into the Westpac account.” And as the goods come in, the planes are loaded and head north. Yesterday morning’s run was a novel one, with one aircraft loaded to the limit with bacon. A farmer client and Allenton Meats owner Paddy Kennedy put their heads together and decided that bacon might have a more useful future in Kaikoura than it would in the farm freezer. This morning it will brighten breakfast for dozens of homeless Kaikoura residents and tourists. When the call went out for help, Kennedy said he had no hesitation in stepping up to the mark, donating the bacon
and coming up with a scheme that would see hundreds of kilos of meat flown from Ashburton to Kaikoura. “We put it up on Facebook asking if anyone wanted to donate meat and the result was bloody amazing.” He’s had offers of cattle beasts and sheep and responses from dozens of butchers from around Canterbury who’re keen to give their time to bone carcasses and package meat. The big meat pack event will happen on November 27. “We’ve got a carload of butchers from Rangiora, guys phoning saying they’ll give six sheep and seven cattle and we’re now hoping to do up to 20 cattle on the day.”

Storm brings hail and heavy rain By Noah Graham aNd LiNda CLark A Tinwald resident certainly saw the force of one of yesterday’s hail storms which punched holes on her property. Danielle Hanna Perriton thought “oh God” when she stepped outside her home yesterday afternoon to find the balls of ice denting her Subaru Legacy and puncturing her greenhouse and garage skyline. More than 30 holes were created by the brief onslaught of ice on her greenhouse and Perriton is shocked at how quickly it happened. She had just gone inside for lunch after relaxing outside when she heard the hail hit. Perriton said her car would cost the most to get the dents out of but there was no doubt other people had it worse. KB Panel and Paint Services Ltd manager Kieren Breakwell had quite a few clients already bring their cars in to assess the damage. Breakwell said some cars had 30mm dents in their cars. He said dented car owners should take their vehicles into their local panel beaters for the damage to be assessed. Then insurance companies would need to be contacted and finally hail specialists from Australia would fix the damage. Belts of hail, accompanied by black clouds and thunder, pelted Ashburton about 3.10pm and then again at 6.20pm as they moved north. Hailstones up to 3cm wide were reported.

The appeal will continue to run

I remember the things that were needed in Christchurch and they’re the things people are needing now,” Hurley said. Ashburton’s donated goods

wet November in which 50mm of rain had already fallen. Farmers have been able to delay turning on their irrigators so demand for irrigation water has been lower than usual.
Earthquake upgraded to 7.8 magnitude The elevation of Monday’s quake from a magnitude 7.5 to 7.8 makes it equal in size only with three other New Zealand quakes in the past 150 years. They are the Dusky Sound quake in 2009, the Napier Earthquake in 1931 and the Murchison Earthquake in 1931. “GNS Science informed my office of the revised magnitude earlier today after reassessing the data from its stations across the country,” Acting Civil Defence
Minister Gerry Brownlee said. “The revised magnitude just tells us what anyone who felt the earthquake would already know that it was a powerful tremor that lasted for a long time. “As expected with a larger earthquake, the revised magnitude does have an effect on the probabilities of forecast aftershocks, meaning it is now forecast that aftershocks may be larger in magnitude for a longer period of time.” -NZME

■ KAIKOURA QUAKE
Closed roads increase time, hike costs By Sue NewmaN
Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
The impact of Kaikoura’s massive earthquake will be felt across New Zealand for months to come as transport links remain closed, says an Ashburton transportation expert. Aaron Chudleigh, national freight and logistics manager for Talleys says his company is already counting the cost of being unable to use State Highway One to truck frozen product to the North Island. The company normally has five trucks ply the route north each day and those trucks are now being forced to use the Lewis Pass route to Blenheim, adding more than three hours to the journey. “We’re now having to overnight our drivers in Murchison or Blenheim because it’s taking a day and a half rather than up and back in a day and that’s adding about 20 per cent to our costs,” he said. And the problems don’t end when the truck reaches Blenheim. With ferry services on hold product can’t be shipped to the North Island. “And that’s created a real bottle neck with inter-island product. It’s a real issue and it will have a big
impact on the country for a long time,” Chudleigh said While Christchurch’s earthquake was much larger in human terms and the ongoing effects continued to be immense, the Kaikoura quake would have a much longer lasting effect on New Zealand because with the highway out alternative routes were much fewer, he said. The state highway closure had a significant impact on traffic movements north, but for Talleys, it has not impacted on their export business out of the Port of Lyttelton. Transport delays have had no impact on product quality, he said. If the earthquake had struck two weeks later, it would have caused huge issues for Rural Transport, its chief executive Jim Crouchley said. The company had yet to start its annual contract trucking offal to Blenheim and back loading with cattle. “If we’d been into this it would have been a hell of a thing, a major disruption,” he said. For his drivers, the only change brought about by the closure of the highway through Kaikoura will be having to take the overland route for a tyre re-treading run.

Ready for the live performance By Noah Graham

St Joseph’s Kapa Haka group practised their final run-through yesterday of the performance they will give at the Hakatere Festival today. The 35 students rehearsed their four songs and haka which will feature as one of the cultural performances in the Ashburton Col-
lege Auditorium today. The Hakatere Festival includes performances from St Joseph’s School, Allenton School, Ashburton College, Ashburton Netherby School, Ashburton Intermediate School and Hampstead. St Joseph’s School Year 1 and 2 teacher Rosanne Calvert said the junior students had been learning the performance all year but
the seniors had to learn it in five weeks. She said it was not hard to teach the students the songs as she taught it like she would Te Reo Maori, rather than getting the students to memorise the words off a sheet of paper. The hard part was to get the students to understand the meaning of the festival and the songs.
Mr G keen to do Wakanui mural New Zealand artist Graham Hoete, known as Mr G, is interested in coming to Mid Canterbury to paint a mural at Wakanui Beach. Mr G’s work is gaining worldwide attention after he painted murals of singer Prince and Kiwi basketballer Steven Adams. He is now planning a book with photos of 100 murals he plans to do in remote, rural and picturesque locations around New Zealand. Friends of Wakanui Beach
group founder Molly Blain said she got in touch with Mr G after learning about his search for old weathered buildings and offered him a spot at Wakanui Beach. She and her husband are the only full-time residents at the beach and are committed to preserving its biodiversity. Blain said the artist emailed her on Tuesday interested in the site. “He answered me back saying he is very keen to come here and do a picture.” She went immediately to the
Ashburton Library and began researching faces with historical significance to the area that he could use. The image could be painted on the big double gates at their property or on nearby public toilets at Wakanui Beach. She said she would welcome any other ideas from members of the public. “We are looking for pioneers of the past.” People can email their suggestions to housebusmollyal@ gmail.com

The man who will shape the next generation of Ashburtonians, new Ashburton College principal Ross Preece, this week made a whistlestop tour of his new home town. Preece spent time with college board and staff and yesterday met founding members of the newly formed Ashburton College alumni. Over coffee he provided a brief insight into his education philosophy and his aspirations for the college. He’s excited about the possibilities that come with the role and the opportunity it provides to lead a large secondary school that is very much at the heart of its community. When a school is the only one in a community the job comes with unique challenges but unique opportunities too, Preece said. He comes to college from Whangamata Area School and while its roll is only 450, it shares the same position as the college as the only secondary school in town. “It’s important when you have only one school in town that it’s working well. Our best advert as a school is our students, they’re our ambassadors, and the community will make a quick snapshot judg-
Whangamata Area School. In talking with the college’s alumni founders, Preece said that as an ex-Christchurch Boys’ High student he was well aware of the value of an association that kept past pupils in touch with their school. When it was suggested the college alumni could be a valuable source of funds for college projects in the future, Preece was delighted. “Before you become a principal, finances are a nebulous thing; once you’re a principal you realise if you don’t have money it’s a collateral handbrake.” As well as spending time at the college, Preece and wife Paula checked out housing options for the new year and spent time looking around the district they’ll be calling home. Becoming part of the community was important to them both, he said. While he’s been a keen sportsman, he no longer plays rugby but is a social volleyball player and enjoys business house cricket. He and Paula are both keen golfers. Ahead of the move south, he’s already planning to buy a salmon rod. He officially takes up the principal’s job on January 28 next year.

What does a quiz and rodeo have in common? By Noah Graham
Noah.g@theguardiaN.co.Nz
Ashburton quizzers will answer their questions to the sound of an internationally renowned rodeo commentator Friday night. Zonta Ashburton is fundraising with a quiz night and auction which will have rodeo commentator and equestrian trainer Craig ‘Wiggy’ Wiggins helping to narrate the evening. Wiggins travels to Australia and Canada frequently to commentate on rodeos and has made a name for himself for creativity when it comes to commentary. He said he breaks down the barriers most commentators have with their audience by riding a horse for the crowd to see, rather than commentating from a box elsewhere. Zonta Quiz Night convener Jeanette Montgomery hopes Wiggins can bring the same creativity to their night. All money raised in the evening will go towards Zonta Ashburton’s scholarships for women.

Duck shooter to spread safety message A man who accidently shot a mate while duck shooting has agreed to talk to media about the inherent dangers of the sport, in return for a conviction and discharge. The 37-year-old Willowby resident appeared in the Ashburton District Court on Monday for sentencing on a charge of causing injury due to careless use of a firearm. His shotgun had inadvertently discharged after it became hooked in the material covering the maimai the pair were shooting from, causing it to fire and hit his mate in the wrist. The victim fell to the ground in pain and medical assistance was immediately sought. The man was co-operative with authorities from the onset, acknowledged his guilt, requested to participate in a restorative justice conference and assisted the victim financially, his lawyer Paul Bradford told the court. Judge Joanna Maze praised the restorative justice process which took place in the aftermath. Three thousand dollars had already been paid to the victim in reparations and the man continues to pay the costs of rehabilitation not covered by ACC. “It would be difficult to iden-
tify a more satisfactory process,” Judge Maze said. The man was breath-tested at the time and alcohol had no part to play in the accidental shooting, h ow e v e r, Judge Maze said it was an opportunity to warn others of the dangers of firearms. She asked the Guardian reporter to diary an appointment in late April next year to interview the man in this respect and after consulting with his lawyer he agreed. The first Saturday in May “young men warmed by something else get together (for the opening weekend of duck shooting season), but I’m not suggesting that was the case here,” she said. “It is brave to agree to a single article to reinforce the message about firearms safety.” The man, who the Guardian agreed not to identify on the request of the victim, via Ashburton Restorative Justice co-ordinator Toni Sowman, was then convicted and discharged.

Mayor resigns over comment A West Virginia mayor resigned following a backlash after she posted a response to a racist comment about first lady Michelle Obama on Facebook. The Clay Town Council accepted Mayor Beverly Whaling’s resignation in a meeting and said it would act quickly to name a replacement for the remaining three years of her term. The resignation came after another woman, whose racist post Whaling responded, to was placed on leave as director of the Clay County Development Corp. Council member Jason Hubbard issued a brief statement condemning the “horrible and indecent” post and said racism and intolerance “isn’t what this community is about.” He apologised on behalf of the town to Michelle Obama and anyone who was offended.

Former Ecuadorean president dies Former Ecuadorean President Sixto Duran-Ballen has died at age 95. He is best known for serving as president during Ecuador’s monthlong border conflict with Peru in 1995, which was the last war in the Americas between sovereign states. Duran-Ballen’s family said he died Tuesday while resting at home. The family said he did not have any major illness. He was president in 1992-96, and the localized border conflict with Peru occurred in Jan. 26-Feb. 28, 1995. It ended with a ceasefire and eventually an agreement was reached demarcating the disputed border. Duran-Ballen retired from politics after his presidency. He is survived by his wife, Josefina Villalobos, with whom he had eight children. He was born in Boston on July 14, 1921, while his father was on a diplomatic mission. -AP
Michelle Obama. director Pamela Ramsey Taylor made the post following Republican Donald Trump’s election as president, saying: “It will be refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady in the White House. I’m tired of seeing a Ape in heels.” Whaling responded: “Just made my day Pam.”
PHOTO AP
Town council member Joyce Gibson said that after news of the post circled the globe, the small office’s voicemail system quickly filled to capacity with irate callers. An online campaign calling for Taylor and Whaling to resign drew tens of thousands responses.
The nonpartisan town council has five members, plus the town recorder and mayor. Whaling earlier issued a written apology to news media outlets saying her comment wasn’t intended to be racist. Taylor, who told WCHS-TV on Monday night that she was put on leave, did not return a call seeking comment. The uproar occurred as the town of about 500 residents is still trying to recover from severe flooding in late June along the nearby Elk River. Clay County also has been hit by hundreds of layoffs in the coal industry this decade. Last month in West York, Pennsylvania, the town council accepted the resignation of Mayor Charles Wasko after an uproar over racist posts on his Facebook page, including two depicting apes referring to Barack Obama and his family. -AP

Jet may halve flight times Flight times between Sydney and Los Angeles could be halved if plans for a new supersonic jet get off the ground. The XB-1 Supersonic Demonstrator, a prototype of a larger airliner and nicknamed the Baby Boom, was unveiled at a hangar in Colorado on Wednesday by USbased Boom Technology and Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic. The jet will be 10 per cent faster than the now defunct Concorde and two-and-ahalf times faster than current jets, meaning it will be able to cut flight times dramatically. Travellers will be able to fly between Sydney and Los Angeles in less than seven hours and for much less than the price of a ticket on Concorde, which had its first commercial flight in 1976 and became famous not only for its skyhigh airfares but its famous passengers including Mick
Jagger and Elizabeth Taylor. Concorde was seen as a luxury offering between the 1970s and 1990s with tickets costing around STG 4350 ($NZ7638) one way from London to New York. But falling passenger numbers and a fatal crash in 2000 ultimately led to its demise in 2003, Boom chief executive and founder Blake Scholl said the Concorde was limited by technology at the time, something his company has overcome. “Concorde’s designers didn’t have the technology for affordable supersonic travel, but now we do. Today, we’re proud to unveil our first aircraft,” Mr Scholl said. Boom’s airliner will offer a similarly premium experience to Concorde, with only one seat on each side of the aisle and flights at a higher altitude to cut out turbulence. Boom estimates it would
take just under seven hours to fly from Sydney to LA, including a refuelling stop, cutting the near 14-hour flight and costing around $NZ3726 each way. A flight from New York to London would cost $NZ2661 and take just over three hours, down from around an eight hour flight. The first test flight of the prototype is scheduled for late 2017. It will be built into an airliner three times its size, with Virgin Galactic having the option to buy the first 10 plane bodies produced by the company. “I have long been passionate about aerospace innovation and the development of high-speed commercial flights,” Virgin Group founder Richard Branson said. “As an innovator in the space, Virgin Galactic’s decision to work with Boom was an easy one.” - AAP
Heard breaks silence Amber Heard has used a rare red carpet appearance to speak up for victims of sexual abuse. At Glamour’s Women of the Year awards in LA, the 30-year-old actress read words written by Emily Doe - an unnamed American woman who was infamously sexually assaulted by university student Brock Turner. Heard, with fellow actresses Gabourey Sidibe and Freida Pinto, performed a reading of Doe’s powerful court statement and essay, which was shared around the world. The appearance was a rare moment in the spotlight for Heard, who has been laying low since her very public breakup with Johnny Depp.
Adele says “stay tuned” Adele has announced a full Australian tour - and told New Zealand fans to “stay tuned for more news”. The chart-topping UK pop star today confirmed widespread rumours that she’d be visiting Australia in 2017 for the first time, playing shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide. In a message posted on Twitter and Facebook, she wrote: “Yep, I am coming down under! In the round, outdoors and upgrading myself to stadiums to make sure I get to see as many of you as possible.” The news might disappoint her Kiwi fans who were hoping she would include New Zealand on the tour. But on Facebook, Adele said she was “thinking of you, New Zealand” after yesterday’s dramatic earthquake, and told her fans to “stay tuned”.

A
s the aftershocks carry on, our homes, workplaces and schools continue to rattle, along with our nerves. It’s a testing time for all as we reflect on Monday’s early morning earthquake. As areas continue to be evacuated, the full extent of the quake is slowly emerging. Buildings from North Canterbury to Wellington were damaged, including a modern high-rise on Molesworth Street in the capital. It brings into question the true safety of new buildings and how well equipped our transport system is. Extensive research has been carried out, and plenty of money invested, to ensure modern buildings and infrastructure can sustain the impact of an earthquake as well as possible. However, the vulnerability of our road system and buildings has been well and truly exposed. Prime Minister John Key, who made a helicopter flight over Kaikoura yesterday, said that it remains unknown how long it will take before State Highway 1 can be repaired. “The condition of State Highway 1 either side of the cut-off Kaikoura township remains a major concern for officials, with sizeable slips blocking some parts of the road and ruptures in others,” he said. “We didn’t get a chance to really look south, but again, looking north, what you can see is the tremendous amount of rubble that we observed on Monday. “The mountain has moved over the road, now the engineers will have to work out how they eventually resolve that issue, but you can be sure that north of Kaikoura is going to be out of action for a long period of time.” As the physical and psychological effects of the earthquake continue to sink in, an obvious question is how are we still so poorly prepared? While communities remain isolated, New Zealanders are very much together in spirit. But surely our approach to infrastructure must now be reviewed.

West Coast sees tourist surge Tourists are heading to the South Island’s West Coast in their droves after the devastating east coast earthquake disrupted their holiday plans, locals say. The weekend’s magnitude 7.5 quake all but cut off Kaikoura one of the country’s most famous tourist destinations - and sent people scrambling from holiday hot-spot Hamner Springs, as well as the region’s many other attractions. On the West Coast, locals are reporting a huge increase in traffic volumes and tourists coming to stay. West Coasters were highly sympathetic of the plight of quakestricken east-siders. But the influx of numbers is providing an unexpected financial boost to a region that has had more than its share of adversity and economic insecurity in recent years. Grey District Mayor Tony Kokshoorn said there had been a massive increase in inquiries throughout the region since the quake. “We don’t want to gain from the misery on the other coast and in Wellington but the fact is that because of the massive upheavals of the rail system and the road over
Punakaiki, West Coast there, there is already a noticeable increase in tourism coming our way,” he said. Kokshoorn advised people planning to visit the area to book accommodation in advance as there was the risk they wouldn’t be able to secure a bed otherwise. Greymouth i-SITE general manager Gina Ashworth said it made sense for people who had planned

to visit quake-affected areas to go west instead. “I think you’ll find what most people do is they’ll travel across the West Coast, down the West Coast, around the south there and then back up to Christchurch. They’ll most likely fly from there,” she said. Punakaiki Beach Hostel owner Martina Utz said a lot of people
had been calling in advance to make sure the West Coast was safe before they booked. “We definitely did feel the change. We had a few cancellations as well but then the people who couldn’t go through Kaikoura or do what they planned decided to go through the West Coast instead of going east.” Kerry Weston, of Birdsong Back-
packers in Hokitika, said they’d had a flurry of cancellations as well as new bookings. “On Monday we were due to have some international students in from Christchurch but they cancelled so we went from being full-house to empty house, but then last night we were busy again and were re-selling rooms.” Marilyn Wilson, owner of the Bella Vista Motel in Westport, said they’d had a similar experience. “We’re thinking this could be good for us because we have been going through a bit of a downturn. On the other hand it’s horrible that you’re benefiting because of something that’s happened to other people.” Murchison Four Square manager Liz Hocking said there was a great deal of traffic on the roads and the shop was “flat-out” busy. It’s terrible, it really is sad for everyone concerned in Kaikoura we feel really bad for them.” She said they were managing to keep the shelves stocked even though there were delays on items being sent from the North Island due to the damaged road and rail network. -NZME
Dairy product prices rise Dairy product prices rose at the Global Dairy Trade auction, gaining for the seventh time in eight auctions, amid supply decreases. The GDT price index increased 4.5 per cent to $US3519, up from $US3327 at the previous auction two weeks ago. Some 23,902 tonnes of product was sold, down from 27,735 tonnes at the previous auction. Whole milk powder added 3.2 per cent to $US3423 a tonne. Last month Fonterra said it reduced its forecast milk volume for the 2016-17 season in New Zealand. “Tightening milk supplies in both New Zealand and Austral-
ia has put pressure on suppliers with some dairy companies struggling to meet contracted delivery times,” AgriHQ dairy analyst Susan Kilsby said in a note. “This has left a few buyers with low supplies on hand putting some urgency into the market.” Still, “the lift was a little less than the market had anticipated,” according to Kilsby. At the latest GDT auction, butter milk powder jumped 13.3 per cent to $US2623 a tonne, while cheddar climbed 11 per cent to $US3697 a tonne. Skim milk powder rallied 9.8 per cent to $US2562 a tonne, while lactose advanced 4.6 per
cent to $US787 a tonne. Anhydrous milk fat rose 4.4 per cent to $US5348 a tonne, while butter added 1.1 per cent to $US4193 a tonne, and rennet casein edged 0.6 percent higher to $US6040 a tonne. The New Zealand dollar last traded at 70.93 US cents at about 11.31am in New York, compared with 71.18 US cents at 5pm in Wellington the previous day. There were 106 winning bidders out of 164 participating at the 18-round auction. The number of qualified bidders held steady at 510, the same as at the previous auction. -NZME

Auck to Chch freight doubles Supermarket shelves in the earthquake-stricken region of North Canterbury will remain stocked if the Ports of Auckland has any say in it. Chief executive Tony Gibson said freight demand on New Zealand’s busiest domestic sea route, Auckland to Christchurch, had doubled following the Kaikoura earthquake on Monday. Gibson said Ports of Auckland would be “pulling out all the stops to ensure that people in Christchurch and affected areas in the Upper South Island have continuous access to the things they need”. “While the sudden increase in freight does put pressure on us, we will do everything we can to make sure the goods get through as quickly as possible,” Gibson said.

He said the company was working closely with Pacifica, New Zealand’s domestic coastal shipping operator, and participating international lines to make sure the freight gets through now parts of the region were cut off by road and rail. “South Island goods are our top priority. It is only a small thing, but we are pleased to be able to
help where we can,” he added. Pacifica chief executive Steve Chapman said the supply chain was open and the shelves would remain well stocked as coastal shipping took up the task previously carried out by road and rail. “With the main road and rail links likely to be closed for months, we expect to be run off our feet, but we are well up to the challenge.” Pacifica’s coastal container ship Spirit of Canterbury would be in Auckland loading containers for Lyttelton on Thursday morning. There are five weekly services between Auckland and Lyttelton operated by domestic and international lines, with ample capacity to serve the current level of demand and more, Chapman said. -NZME

Milk flows in 2015-16, despite In a year which saw the lowest milk prices in at least 20 seasons, milk production declined just 1.5 per cent, according to the New Zealand Dairy Statistics 2015-16 report released this week by DairyNZ and LIC. Milk production for 2015-16 eased slightly despite 52 fewer herds and 20,522 less cows than in 2014-15. In total, dairy companies processed 20.9 billion litres of milk containing 1.86 billion kilograms of milksolids (kg MS) in 2015-16. This compares to 21.2 billion litres of milk (1.89 billion kg MS) the previous season. “The average kilograms of milksolids produced per cow has gradually increased over the last 15 years and enables our industry to maintain high production year-on-year,” says Matthew Newman, DairyNZ senior economist. “On average, each cow produced 373kg MS last season – very near the 2014-15 record of 377kg MS and still above the 2013-14 production of 371kg MS. “On average last season, each cow produced 4185 litres of milk.” LIC NZ markets general manager Malcolm Ellis says genetics and feeding these animals well ensures continual improvement in milking productivity of New Zealand dairy cows. Milk production in the South Island increased 2.0 per cent in 2015-16, with increases in both Marlborough-Canterbury (+2.5%) and Otago-Southland (+2.0%), while milk production in West Coast-Tasman eased (-0.8%). “The South Island now produces 42.7 per cent of national milksolids production, compared with only 31.1 per cent a decade ago,” Newman said. North Island milk production declined 3.9 per cent in 2015-16, with all regions except Northland (which had no change) producing less milk compared with 2014-15. Taranaki (-8.3%) and the Lower North Island (-5.4%) recorded the largest declines from 2014-15. Overall herd numbers fell for the first time since 2007-08, now totalling 11,918. North Island herd numbers declined 122 to 8696, while South Island herds increased 70 herds to 3222.
Farm ownership structures are also changing, with 30 per cent of New Zealand dairy herds operating under a sharemilking agreement in 2015-16, compared with 32.4
per cent in 2014-15. Within the sharemilker herds, variable order sharemilking herd numbers declined in 2015-16.
In particular, 20-29 per cent sharemilkers decreased by 229 herds (-22 per cent) to 821. Herd-owning sharemilkers (50:50 sharemilkers) declined 57 herds (-2 per cent) to

ASHBURTON DISTRICT ■ 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. ■ Ashburton had the highest average production per herd with 363,067 kilograms of milksolids and the second highest production per cow at 420kg/ MS). ■ The Ashburton District has 284 owner-operators and 121 sharemilkers, with 99,500 effective hectares committed to the industry. 2422. Owner-operator herds increased 256 to 8315 herds in 2015-16, reflecting variable order sharemilkers moving to contract milking agreements after financial challenges with low milk prices in recent seasons. “The number of cows milked in 2015-16 declined 0.4 per cent to just under 5 million (4.998 million), despite a very high number of culled cows during the last two seasons. This reflects a high number of replacement heifers entering the milking herd in 201516, plus some carry over cows being culled. A further decline in the number of cows milked is expected this season,” Newman said. Changes in dairy breeds continue, with holstein-friesian/jersey cross-breeds now comprising 47.2 per cent of cows compared to 45.6 per cent in 2014-15. Holstein-friesians now make up 33.5 percent of the national herd compared to 34.7 percent in 2014-15, and jerseys comprise 10.1 per cent compared to 10.4 per cent the previous season. Some 71.1 per cent of cows were mated by artificial insemination (AI) in 2015-16, down 102,467 (-3%) on the previous season. In addition, the number of yearling heifers mated to AI declined 57,111 (-26%) to 163,864. This is the lowest number of heifers mated with AI since 2010-11.

Ellis said this is a result of farmers being more cautious in the lower milk price environment. “However, farmers understand the value of herd improvement and the expectation is for activity to rebound in line with the milk price.” The average six-week in-calf rate eased from 66.8 per cent in 2014-15 to 66.5 per cent in 2015-16. Over the past five seasons the national six-week in-calf rate has remained relatively steady at around 67 per cent. Herd testing undertaken was the lowest level on record at 61.4 per cent, down from 72.9 per cent in the previous season, as farmers reduced costs. “Early indications for the 2016-17 season are that herd testing is ahead of the previous season. “A number of farmers who put herd testing on hold in 2015-16 are coming straight back to herd testing because they want the valuable information it provides,” Newman said. The number of tuberculosis (Tb) dairy herds declined two to 26 herds in 2015-16. However, the number of Tb dairy cows (including lesioned reactor cattle and lesioned cull cattle) decreased significantly from 120 in 2014-15 to only 27 cows in 2015-16.
Moderate numbers of prime stock were offered with old season’s lamb numbers easting at the Tinwald sheep sale on Tuesday.

Ashburton Golf Club Well the jolly boys are back in town after seven days golfing around Wellington and the Kapiti Coast. We played some beautiful championship courses, and I can honestly say that the good old Brandon stands right up there alongside them. Good courses don’t just happen, they take a lot of hard work, so great thanks go to Ben, Tim and all the volunteers and Pete Mac’s greens committee. We really have a course to be proud of. This week we are having our “give golf a go” days, as of writing I do not know how the Wednesday evening one went, but we have another on Sunday afternoon at 2pm. This will include professional coaching by Matt Davis, chipping and putting clinic and swinging the “big dog” on the driving range. These are going to be just taster tit-bits, maybe 20 minutes in each of the three areas, all based around fun and just getting out there and giving it a go, with a free barbecue to boot. If you have friends or family, any age, who might fancy a go, just bring them along, all equipment will be provided. There will also be some special membership deals on offer and some great giveaways. We also need helpers, so members come along and encourage the newbies, give out pointers and help pick up balls. This is a big drive, we desperately need
new members, so get on down on Sunday and bring along a friend or two. Good golfing
Ashburton Men’s Fellowship November Report Meetings second Tuesday of month, Seniors Centre 206 Cameron St, 9.30am. Phone Tony, 307 2375 or ashmensprobus@gmail.com President Tony opened the meeting and asked members to stand for a moments silence for former member Bill Bruce. Members were reminded that payment for the Christmas Lunch (December 13) was required by December 6. The committee has had considerable discussion on using the Probus name when many NZ clubs, including this one, were no longer affiliated with PSPL. This was explained to the club and the motion “We recommend to our club members that we reaffirm our membership with Fellowship NZ Incorporated and adopt whatever name is decided for all those clubs in NZ which are affiliated to FNZI”, was passed. Our mini speaker was club member Joe, who spoke about a 14 day river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. Europe has an extensive network of navigable rivers and canals completed in 1992 primarily for freight but in recent years the cruise market has boomed. The main speaker was Barry Hayman, from Paterson’s Funeral Services. He outlined his career from the family farm to starting in the funeral business over 30 years ago and working in several parts of the South Island including an earlier stint with Paterson’s. Changes include registers, service sheets and power point presentations.
Ashburton Photographic Society We have had a very busy month in October with several members heading off to the Travis Wetlands in Christchurch for a wonderful day. Tutor Bevan Tullet was a down to earth man who was very familiar with the location. Hours were spent here and this is somewhere we will be back to in the future. Congratulations to members who did well in the assorted fields at the Ashburton A&P Show. Julie Begg convenes the Photography Section and was assisted by several others and our own Bill Cabout judged the Photography section. At the start of October four members headed over to the Southern Regional Convention in Westport and had a fabulous time. Results for our 3rd Open were judged by Bill Irwin from Methven.

Cavendish Club Arts & Crafts Our final meeting for Arts & Crafts this year was an afternoon of histalgia with treasurers from yesteryear. Members bought along many different items, to which they gave their own personal information and history. A very interesting afternoon with items belonging to grandparents, also great and great great grandparents. Amazing what we have stored away in our closets and it is so special to have the opportunity to show and talk about them. Afternoon tea was served along with lots of chatter which involved going back decades. Ashburton Travel Club We have been enjoying some amazing speakers during the year. The mid-winter dinner was well attended in August. September Jane Hooper spoke on her incredible trip trekking to Base Camp Mt Everest. October meeting Chileya Mbambo gave a most enlightening talk on her life experience in Zambia. Great speakers with wonderful stories to tell. Meetings are held at St David’s, Allens Road, third Wednesday of the month at 7.30pm. Visitors welcome. Drama Circle For the last entertainment for this year a special treat for our members and the Drama Committee was arranged for the afternoon. Kim Solly came and bought young children and teenagers who acted, read humorous readings and one young lady sang several songs then played the piano for her own accompaniment. We are so lucky to have such wonderful talent in the young generation and you can see they enjoy every minute. This afternoon was enjoyed by all who attended and Betty thanked Kim and children and presented a posy and gifts. Library Circle Our final speaker for the year was Kathleen Stringer, Archivist at Ashburton Museum. Kathleen is a most informative and entertaining speaker. She described her job, which she loves, and the facilities and materials available to her at the museum. She encouraged us to visit her at the museum if we have any queries about pieces we have from times past. Kathleen, who has a keen interest in fabrics and women’s clothing of generations ago also told us about the restrictions imposed on women by the fashions of the mid to late 19th century. We are all very
Ashburton Guardian
thankful for the freedom of today’s clothing and hygiene procedures. Jennifer thanked Kathleen and gave her a meat tray. Afternoon tea and animated chat concluded a very interesting afternoon. Music Circle Friday October 14 the music circle introduced Frank Tasker on piano accordion and Noel Johnson signing, to entertain for the afternoon. They played a variety of well-known old songs which we all sang along to. Noel and Frank have entertained weekly at Rosebank for the last 15 years which is a big commitment and they are to be congratulated. Afternoon tea was served and both Frank and Noel were presented with a small gift. Many thanks to you both for taking the time for us, as we know you are busy people. They left us to do it all again at Rosebank for their “Happy Hour”.
Mid Canterbury Ladies Club President Bernie Tutty opened the November meeting recently, welcoming members and a visitor. Members stood as a mark of respect for the passing of two members, Viva Rainey and Maxine Greening. A letter had been received from McDonald House thanking for our recent donation of cleaning products. Val Johnson told of the trip ten members had made to the World of Wearable Arts Event in Wellington. There were two hours of entertainment with music, lights, dancing and costumes. As well they visited the Weta Workshop, old St Paul’s Church, the cable car and had a two-hour tour of Government House. After morning tea Elsa Schluter took us with her to many parts of the World. Firstly off the beaten track to the Catlins and Stewart Island. Elsa also told us of gliding at Omarama, then through the Haast area, Jackson Bay, D’Urville Island and French Pass. Dubai was the next place we visited, artificial, it even has a skiing area in a mall, as well as the tallest building. Kenya was Elsa’s main destination and a safari to see many animals, including elephants, lions, leopards, antelopes, zebras, giraffes and others. Elsa particularly remembered the toilets being stuck in the tracks and the red dust, but told us the accommodation was lovely. Elsa promised to tell us more of her travels sometime in the future.
Mid Canterbury Men’s Club President Doug Anderson welcomed members and reported the sad loss of three of our number who recently passed away; Lester Banks, Denni Histon and Neville Ross. On a brighter note three members recently celebrated over 50 years of marriage. The Lyttelton harbour cruise is proceeding on November 30 and the bus will leave at 10am from the Hotel Ashburton east car park. Our mini speaker was Kevin Clifford, manager of Safer Ashburton. This Charitable Trust is funded largely by the Ashburton District Council as well as contracts with
the Ministries of Health and Education. They employ 20 staff and deal mainly with troubled and vulnerable young people. This work includes managing truancy, youth support for those with behavioural issues, adjudicating cases of family violence, running a drop-in centre for young people, supporting young parents through trained volunteers, new migrant support as well as counselling etc for adults going through the court system. Our main speaker was John Tyrell from St John. He mentioned the high cost of running the service with an ambulance at over $200,000 and a defibrillator at $30,000. Although Government pays a large part of these equipment costs, the ancillary costs come from their three commercial services, charitable trusts and donations. John also gave a demonstration of how to respond to a patient in a state of collapse. He used a mannequin and defibrillator to show the steps involved to enhance the chances of recovery. President Doug thanked the speaker and closed the meeting.
Tinwald Garden Club President Jenette welcomed a new member, Jeanette Cuthbertson, to the club. All present stood for a moment of silence to respect Noelene Keast who joined the club in 1998. Members were reminded of the bus trip “North” on November 24, leaving the Tinwald Hall at 8.45 and the Hotel at 9am. The December meeting will be a Christmas morning tea on December 1 at Maxine’s with a plant exchange as Christmas gifts, morning tea will be provided. The speaker was Ruth Orange who judged the competitions and gave a demonstration of several arrangements with ideas for Christmas wreaths and helpful hints about arranging flowers. This was much enjoyed.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE
Kahu too nervous to watch
Lydia Ko poses with the CME Race for the Globe trophy following the final round of the CME Group Tour Championship at Tiburon Golf Club in 2015.
■ GOLF
Ko races towards $1m What is the Race? In 2014 the LPGA Tour introduced a season-long points race, the Race to the CME Globe, with the winner awarded a $1 million bonus at the end of the season. The CME Group Tour Championship marks the end of this season-long “Race”. The final tournament takes place at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida from November 18th to 21st. Each player’s points they have accumulated over the season are “reset” before the final tournament based on their position in the points list. Lydia Ko finished atop the final points list after the tournament in 2014 and 2015, taking home the million dollar bonus each year. How the final tournament decides the winner Ko this season sits second on the points table behind Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn.
The Race to the CME Globe is nearing its end as the LPGA season winds down and Lydia Ko is in position to win for the third consecutive year. After the points “reset” Jutanugarn, as top qualifier, now sits on 5000 points, and Ko in second has 4500. Brooke Henderson, Ha NaJang and Sei Young Kim make up the remainder of the top five with 4000, 3600 and 3200 points respectively. The points distribution after the final tournament will decide the winner of the race. First place will be awarded 3500 points, second 2400, third 2200, fourth 1800 and fifth 1500. How Ko can win again A tournament win will see Ko surpass Jutanugarn (regardless of her finish) and claim the million dollar bonus. Jutanugarn’s only previous appearance at the Tiburon Golf Club was a tie for

on Jutanugarn finishing in fifth place or lower. She’ll also have to bank on women ranked in the top five not winning the tournament. How likely is a Ko title? Ko winning the million without winning the tournament is definitely not out of the question. Last season, Ko was atop the points leaderboard before the final tournament, and a tie for seventh place was good enough to secure the title. This season she has ground to make up on Jutanugarn, but if she has a decent finish and Jutanugarn can’t get the job done Ko may see another one million dollars in her bank account at the end of the week. - NZME

30th last season. However Ko’s form has been questionable of late. She hasn’t won a tournament since July and has had just one top-10 finish in her last six starts, with three finishes outside the top 40. Points leader Jutanugarn on the other hand has racked up five top-10s in seven events since her tour-leading fifth victory in late August. If Ko finishes second, she will end the season on 6900 points and will have to rely on Jutanugarn finishing anywhere lower than third place with someone other than Henderson and NaJang claiming the top spot. If Ko finishes third, she’ll end with 6700 and will have to rely
Kiwis utility Jordan Kahu has admitted that he chose to go shopping instead of watching the Four Nations game that would decide his team’s fate in the tournament on Sunday morning. The Kiwis needed Australia to beat England in the final roundrobin match of the Four Nations in order for them to make this Sunday’s final at Anfield - a feat which the Kangaroos achieved with ease. But Kahu told the Radio Sport Breakfast he wanted no part in watching the result unfold. “To be honest, I was too nervous to watch it so I went and did a little bit of shopping for my family and kept up with the results on the app,” he said. Luckily for Kahu and his side, the shock 18-18 draw with Scotland on Saturday didn’t come back to bite them. “Obviously we were disappointed in our performance as a group,” he said. “Not taking anything away from Scotland, but internally we were pretty disappointed. “By putting in that performance on the field we kind of gave the ball to Australia and it was in their hands for us to make the final. “We were really lucky they beat England.” The Kiwis will now have to beat Australia on Sunday morning – something they haven’t been able to do in their last three encounters. If they can, it will be their second consecutive Four Nations final win against Australia, and their third title. Kahu also had a message from the entire Kiwis organisation saying staff and players wish everyone in New Zealand affected by the earthquakes all the best and they hope everyone stays safe. - NZME

In brief Set for regions’ finest The EA Networks Centre will host some of Canterbury and West Coast’s finest swimmers for the Swim Canterbury West Coast Memorial Championships this weekend. The meet will attract 216 competitors including 21 Jennian Homes Ashburton swimmers between the ages of 9 and 17 years of age. The centre’s main pool will be temporarily unavailable to regular patrons while the swim meet is under way, but the leisure, hydrotherapy, toddler and learn to swim pools will all operate as usual while the spa pool will remain closed for maintenance until Monday, November 28.
Match postponed

The A-League soccer match between Wellington Phoenix and Melbourne Victory scheduled for Saturday has been postponed to a later date because of Monday’s earthquake. Westpac Stadium has been cleared of major structural damage after the 7.5-magnitude quake. However, the stadium trust says there is superficial damage throughout the building that will require repairs. The stadium offices and the ground level of the public car park reopened on Tuesday after the venue was closed on Monday as a precaution. - AAP
■ FOOTBALL DRAWS
Spain snatches 2-2 draw When England’s players froze on the field at the start of the second half against Spain, it was to celebrate Jamie Vardy establishing a two-goal lead by contributing to the mannequin challenge. When they froze again in the closing minutes at Wembley Stadium, it was unintentional as Spain ran through the English defence to score twice and avoid defeat. Iago Aspas marked his Spain debut by curling in an 89th-minute strike and Isco slipped the ball under substitute goalkeeper Tom Heaton in the sixth minute
of stoppage time. And the Spanish even managed to out-do England after Tuesday’s 2-2 friendly draw, freezing in exaggerated poses in the dressing room to play their own part in the mannequin internet craze with a 56-second video that was swiftly uploaded. Spain certainly had the last word as Julen Lopetegui signed off from 2016 with an unbeaten start in his five games as coach. England counterpart Gareth Southgate was completing his audition after four games as interim coach. Letting a two-goal
lead slip to a second-string Spain side will alarm the English Football Association but Southgate is still expected to be handed the job on a permanent basis rather than returning to the under-21s. The Spain setback will rankle but Southgate is still unbeaten in his four games at the helm, including two wins and a draw in World Cup qualifying. “I’ve proved I can manage big matches, that I can tactically, with the help of my staff, prepare a team to play against a top side and give them a tough test,” Southgate said.
■ Golf
Southgate assumed the job in a difficult situation. Sam Allardyce replaced Roy Hodgson after Euro 2016 but he was ditched after only one game over unguarded comments to undercover reporters. “I took over at a moment of instability for everybody, and we’ve brought stability back and built a platform for the team going forward,” Southgate said. “In terms of the remit, we’ve fulfilled that.” The former England defender should have headed into meetings about his future with FA bosses with a victory. - AP

In brief It could get Messi He’s the world’s best player and there’s a very real chance Lionel Messi could play in New Zealand next year. It would be a treat for fans in this country but should be enough for the New Zealand players to shudder. The All Whites, if they get through Oceania qualifying, would take on the fifthbest team in the South American confederation for a place at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. That team, right now, is Argentina. That’s Argentina, 1978 and 1986 World Cup winners and the world’s No 1 side, despite their struggles during their curent World Cup qualifying campaign. - NZME
BLK in receivership

■ CRICKET
Du Plesis may be in hot water Footage has emerged of South African captain Faf du Plessis shining the ball during the second test flogging of Australia in Hobart with a lolly in his mouth. In what appears to be tactics similar to those used by England during the 2005 Ashes series to enhance the ball’s ability to swing, footage shows du Plessis repeatedly licking his finger before rubbing the Kookaburra. No action was taken against England 11 years ago, however law 42.3 of the MCC cricket laws state that a fielder may polish a ball, “provided that no artificial substance is used”. Channel 9 cameras broadcast the Proteas skipper appearing to use saliva that had interacted with a lozenge, mint or lolly to shine the Kookaburra when Australia was in the middle of its em-
barrassing second innings collapse at Bellerive Oval. The footage shows du Plessis reaching into his own mouth to rub his fingers on an item in his mouth before rubbing the same fingers on the shiny side of the test match ball. The video clip is certain to attract questions of potential ball tampering after Australian cricketers earlier this series raised their own concerns about their South African rivals’ ability to get the ball swinging during the first test at the Waca. The Proteas batsman was reportedly warned by umpires Aleem Dar and Nigel Llong about his team scuffing up the ball with their returning throws to keeper Quinton de Kock during the first test. The fill-in skipper has also pre-
viously been accused of ball tampering when he was fined 50 per cent of his match fee in 2013 in a test series against Pakistan when broadcast cameras filmed him “rubbing the ball in the vicinity of the zipper of his trouser pocket”. It follows revelations in 2008 from former English batsman Marcus Trescothick that England “cheated” during the 2005 Ashes series against Australia by using mint-induced saliva to keep the shine on the ball. In his autobiography, Trescothick admitted to using Murray Mints in order to boost the longevity of the shine he was trying to put on the ball. Australia were humiliated by an innings and 80 runs in the second test. They will be out to avoid their first home whitewash in 129 years when the third test, a
day-night test in Brisbane, begins next Thursday. Captain Steve Smith gave an emotional press conference following the debacle in Hobart, indicating he isn’t always getting the team he wants from selectors. Smith’s words have heaped more pressure on embattled Chairman of Selectors Rod Marsh, with calls for him to be dumped by Cricket Australia growing louder. Criticism of the Australian outfit came from all sides after the fourth day capitulation. West Indies legend Brian Lara added his voice to the mix, saying Australian cricket was heading the same way the Windies empire did in the mid-90s and no-one feared Smith’s men anymore. - NZME
Merchandising for more than 10 Australian professional sporting outfits could be thrown into chaos with sportswear company BLK being placed into receivership. The Gold Coast-based organisation has deals with and provides teamwear for a number of AFL, NRL, Super Rugby, National Netball League and A-League clubs. - AAP
Righting the wrongs Haunted by his near miss last start at Royal Sydney and lamenting opportunities lost in 2016, Adam Scott has returned ready to right some painful wrongs at this week’s Australian Open. Scott led for 71 holes after opening with a course-record 10-under-par 62 in 2013 only to bogey the last on Sunday to allow Rory McIlory to lift the Stonehaven Cup. “I certainly feel like I’d like to get a win here at Royal Sydney after what happened a few years ago. That burns a little,” Scott said on the tournament eve yesterday. - AAP
Hannant has to retire Three weeks after re-signing with North Queensland, veteran prop Ben Hannant has reportedly been forced to retire due to a knee injury. The Cowboys couldn’t confirm the Triple M radio report on yesterday. The NRL club said they were still waiting on a final medical assessment and had not yet spoken with the 31-year-old Hannant. We’re not in a position to say anything,” a Cowboys spokesman said. - AAP

Rally NZ confirmed for 2017 Rally New Zealand will return to the calendar in 2017 for the first time in five years. The event will be staged out of Tauranga in November next year as part of the New Zealand Rally Championship as work continues to be done trying to get the event back on the 2018 World Rally calendar. NZRC co-ordinator Blair Read says getting the event back next year is a huge step towards their ultimate goal and will also be a massive boost to the sport domestically. “We’re really excited to have that back on the calendar for the first time since 2012,” Read tells herald.co.nz. “It is great to have that title back on the line and to have that as the grand final of the New Zealand Rally Championship is very fitting. “The Rally New Zealand trophy will be on the line. It has so much history on it with names like Sebastien Loeb, Petter Solberg and Colin McRae and the like. There are only a very select few Kiwis on their so that will be hotly contested.” The two-day event will see cars compete in a wide spread of area on both sides of Tauranga.

“Current plans are to utilize the Tauranga base with the service park to be at Baypark Stadium,” Read says. “That sort of triangle of Tauranga, Rotorua and Whakatane - there will be a day of stages there and the other day could be somewhere around the Waikato or Coromandel area.” Rally New Zealand will be the sixth and final event on an ex-
panded New Zealand Rally calendar next year as the Waikato-based Waitomo Rally is also added to the mix. The season kicks off in early April with the Otago Rally and features stops in Whangarei, Christchurch and Whitianga as well. 2017 New Zealand Rally Championship

Volkswagen bows out World Rally champions Volkswagen are bracing for an emotional Australian round this weekend around Coffs Harbour as they prepare for their last event in the sport. Volkswagen confirmed earlier this month that 2016 would be the German powerhouse’s last in the WRC, ending a six-year stint which has included four consecutive manufacturers and drivers’ championships since the introduction of the Polo in 2013. They have already wrapped up this year’s driver’s title through Frenchman Sebastien Ogier. Fellow-driver Andreas Mikkelsen said he and the team were “devastated” by the news, which was confirmed after the penultimate event in Wales. “It will be very, very emotional at this rally,” he said. “It’s sad, it’s devastating. We are many people behind this project. “We have fought really hard for many years and it’s been so successful. It’s really hard to let go of something that is so positive.” However he has vowed to end the event on a high for the team, as they aim for a 1-2 in the drivers’ championship. - AAP

WHAT’S ON Alpaca Social Club Thu, Nov 17 - 7.30pm Caitlin Smith, with a voice that imagination created, is joined by Beyondsemble’s Jon Sanders and Craig Denham to present to us a night of skill, humour, passion, adventure and most important of all, fabulous music. Open Hat night; watch the show first and then pay what you think it’s worth.
At 15 years of age Tiana Metuarau, with her mother Waimarama Taumaunu, will be the youngest player in the ANZ Premiership next season.
Willie McWonka & the Chocolate Castle
■ NETBALL
Following in mum’s footsteps Wellington schoolgirl Tiana Metuarau has continued her meteoric rise through the netballing ranks, with the 15-year-old to line up for the Central Pulse in next year’s ANZ Permiership. Metuarau, the daughter of Silver Ferns legend Waimarama Taumaunu, will replace Ameliaranne Ekenasio in the 10-strong Pulse squad. Ekenasio withdrew from the team earlier this week after announcing she and husband Damien are expecting their first child. A player of exceptional promise, Metuarau has made a habit of defying her tender years with early entry into national secondary school and age-group teams and the Beko League in recent years. Passing those examinations with flying colours has earned the talented shooter a call-up to the elite level. The youngest player in this year’s inaugural Beko League, Metuarau’s consistently impressive form was duly recognised with elevation to the New Zealand under-21 team and Silver Ferns Development Squad. While she had designs on making the Pulse team in the next couple of years, Metuarau’s swift elevation has left the unassuming Year 11 Wellington East Girls’ College student slightly overwhelmed. “I’m really excited but very nervous as well,” she said. “At this moment, my thoughts about going into the Pulse environment are to mix well with the team, learn as much as I can before the competition starts and give it a good go.” The immediate concern for Metuarau is gunning for a spot in the New Zealand under-21 World Youth Cup team at trials in a fortnight.
Pulse coach Yvette McCausland-Durie has no doubts about the teenager’s ability and character to take the leap into the semi-professional ranks in her stride. “She has got a really bright future and I think what she’s achieved so far as a young player really does defy her age,” McCausland-Durie said. “She plays her role fully across all parts of the game ... the rebound, the shot, ability to be conditioned and work incredibly hard and in terms of an attacker is highly involved. I feel she’s really well rounded and despite her age actually does have an ability to compete, gets out on court and can put everything else aside to do that. She is a hugely exciting player.” As her coach in the Beko League, McCausland-Durie is well aware of Metuarau’s make-up and of any concerns that may surround her youthfulness. “I’ve seen her in times of challenge, when it’s been really tough for her and watched her growth in that respect through the Beko League,” she said. “That was massive exposure for her, it’s on television and there’s all sorts of expectations but she got better and better and coped with all of the players she came up against, a lot of them were senior players. “Then to go on and compete for the New Zealand under-21s against Australia, and again show that ability and state of mind ... she’s a competitor, she knows that she wants to be a high performance athlete and she’s very focused on doing what it takes.” The sidelined Ekenasio is expected to play a strong mentoring role while former shooting great Irene van Dyk will also be on hand in a support role. - NZME
Mountain bikers selected for Hub Cycling New Zealand has announced an initial 13 riders to be selected for the newly formed Mountain Bike National Performance Hub in Rotorua. It includes local rider Taylor Johnston. The Hub, that was announced last month, is one of a potential eight hubs that underpin Cycling New Zealand’s strategy to foster and grow young cycling talent, and increase the quantity and quality of riders feeding into the National High Per-
formance Programme. The initial intake has been selected following a training camp at the campus of major hub sponsor, Toi Ohomai (formerly Waiariki/BOP Polytechnic) last month. Hub coach Sam Thompson said the initial group would come into Rotorua on a regular basis for training camps and also receive training programmes for both on and off the bike, sports science and nutrition. - NZME

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): When people offer things to you in passing to seem generous, but then don’t give you the specifics about how you would take them up on their offer, call the bluff. Get into this! TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’ll be asking for things you really need and want. Learn your customer. You’ll be successful when you let their habits dictate your timing. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): This will be a day of constant re-investment. You’ll keep putting your riches into things and getting your riches plus more in return. The more you invest, the more prosperous you’ll be. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The amount of freedom you exercise in your life will be equal to the amount of freedom you exercise in your head. It will really help to think your way through the restrictions today. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): If you want to know what’s really hurting you, it’s the fence. Get off the fence! Make a commitment. Either side will do, really; it doesn’t matter. Either one will be better than sitting in the middle. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Your understanding will broaden. As this happens, suddenly you may question certain things you took for granted -- like your freedom. How free are you really? Could you be freer? LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): It’s said that god helps those who help themselves. Maybe that’s a bleak view of things. At least the unlucky have you – more compassionate than deities are rumoured to be. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): That person who is blustering around and putting on a good show is hiding something. He’s not hiding something big, but he’s hiding an emptiness he’d rather you not know about. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The best thing will be to let off steam a little bit at a time. This way you won’t build up in a blast and burn someone. Be the teakettle. Move yourself off the burner once you hear the whistle. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): What was fun and cute once is no longer. You have real needs that are not being met, and these distractions aren’t helping you get them met. You’ll get serious and truthful on the matter today. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Go on and state your terms. Negotiations are a dance, but you need to get onto the same dance floor as the other person in order to realise that you’re actually dancing together. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The less you worry, the better. One way is not to think about it. Another is to think better of it. A third is to go on a long walk. And there are at least a dozen other ways that will.

Sport Cama to stand in It appears New Zealand Rugby will lean on long-time player Tomasi Cama to look after the All Blacks Sevens before the new head coach takes charge. The Fiji Village is reporting Cama has been appointed to a full-time management role with the New Zealand team. Former Hurricanes assistant Clark Laidlaw is the front-runner to replace Sir Gordon Tietjens, but he’s in the second season of a three-year contract with London Irish. Cama didn’t apply for the head coaching job as he feels he still has a lot to learn as a coach.

Ashburton Intermediate School ended on top yesterday after they won the Mid Canterbury Cricket Association Ashburton Trust Year 7 and 8 tournament. Twelve teams from four schools played in the 10-over
aside tournament at the Ashburton Domain Oval but no one could defeat the Ashburton Intermediate School’s team five as they finished unbeaten. Intermediate faced-off against Longbeach, who had also remained unbeaten in their pool and play-off matches, and secured a 30 run win.
Longbeach principal Neil Simons said he is happy with the team’s effort and glad all of the children enjoyed themselves. “I’m really pleased that as a small school we made the final,” he said. Longbeach had entered one team in the tournament, Mount Hutt College two, Rakaia
School had three and Intermediate put the most in with six. Rakaia Year five to eight teacher Kelly Markham said the day was well organised and the students had enjoyed themselves. She said it certainly helped that the bad weather held off for them to play their games.
Hockley president Former New Zealand women’s captain and International Cricket Council Hall of Famer Debbie Hockley has been elected the first female president in New Zealand Cricket’s 122-year history. Hockley will serve as the organisation’s president for the next three years, replacing outgoing president Stephen Boock. The 54-year-old Hockley played 118 one-day internationals and 19 tests. She was the first woman to reach the landmark of 4000 ODI runs, and also the first to play 100 ODIs.
Yes, the All Blacks are on a revenge mission The All Blacks are being portrayed as a team embarrassed by the Chicago defeat and going to extraordinary lengths to set the matter right in Dublin on Sunday. While a typically downbeat All Black camp has tried to portray a business-as-usual-withan-edge image, the Mailonline is not letting them get away with that. Prop Owen Franks may have rejected the notion that the All Blacks were on a revenge mission, but the Mail - rated the world’s biggest news site - firm-
ly rejected that in the words accompanying a hefty training ground photo spread. And there is a different feel to the preparations in Dublin compared to Chicago where the All Blacks were spotted out and about with fans, attended other sport and fulfilled sponsor obligations. They were subsequently crushed by a brilliantly prepared Irish team which landed late on what turned out to be a famous smash and grab mission. The All Blacks will have been
Lollygate accusations P16
given a serious tune up in Dublin, even if they publicly concentrate on the fine tuning aspect. “The All Blacks have been based at the Westmanstown Sports Complex and have been spending every waking hour out on the pitch,” the Mail enthused. “Steve Hansen and his New Zealand side have been working hard this week, getting down to the grind to ensure the embarrassment at Soldier Field does not happen again ... as the world champions go about try-
ing to reclaim lost pride. “Ireland coach (Joe) Schmidt has already admitted he is expecting to experience the full wrath of the All Blacks as they seek to make amends.” One of the captions read: “New Zealand have been working hard this week as they seek revenge against Ireland.” An earlier story described Sunday’s match as “a revenge mission”. The Mail is undoubtedly on the mark about revenge, even if the All Blacks have scrubbed the word from their whiteboard. - NZME
Disturbing prediction Brian Lara has likened the frailty of Australia’s current Test side and potential for a “downward spiral” to that of the West Indies who fell sharply into cricket disarray after dominating the 1980s. Lara also backed embattled Australian captain Steve Smith and cautioned selectors against making mass changes for the third Test. Australia lost their fifth straight Test on Tuesday when they were crushed by South Africa by an innings and 80 runs to lose the series 2-0 with a match to play.
