■ MOURNING FOR FRIEND

‘Sad to lose Imran in such a way’

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton residents are grieving for Imran Kahn, who was known as a humble family man with a big heart.

The 46-year-old was among those gunned down at the Linwood mosque on Friday.

Abdul Hussein and his wife Shabina were yesterday supposed to be hosting Kahn in their home at Tinwald.

But instead they were consoling each other, and relatives and friends who visited.

“He was someone who was more than a brother to me,” said Abdul.

“He was close to everyone in the community.”

This included not just the Muslim community, but the wider Ashburton community as he got to know many through his warm personality as he operated Indian Minar on East Street and Nando’s on Burnett Street.

Natasha Hussein said Kahn had been a humble person dedicated to his wife and son, and friendly to all who had the pleasure of

coming into contact with him.

Kahn was a long-time family friend of the Husseins, and Abdul and Shabina last saw him on the

Saturday of the weekend prior to the massacre.

He had moved from Ashburton to Christchurch about two years ago.

On that Saturday they had visited Kahn at his Indian Grill restaurant on Hills Road.

“He cooked for us, he didn’t ask the chef,” Shabina said with a smile, remembering the hearty personality he was.

“And the week before he came to our place with a huge pot of food.”

Their family friend, Rajab Mzee, said he first met Kahn after immigrating to New Zealand in 2007.

Mzee said he had gone to Indian Minar as he did not know any Muslims here, and was overjoyed to have found someone so welcoming as Kahn.

“It was such a great moment between a fellow Muslim,” Mzee said.

“For me, Imran, he was a link.

He would say ‘How can I help

you, what are you looking for?’

He was one who connected me, who communicated me to other fellow Muslims. We became so close, I felt he was somebody I could trust,” he said.

“It’s sad that we have lost him in such a way. As a community, we have lost somebody who was a pillar.”

Kahn told the Guardian in 2012 that he was often flattered to be compared to his celebrity cricketer namesake, and it had always worked as a good conversation opener at Indian Minar, which was Ashburton’s first Indian restaurant.

Kahn had immigrated to New Zealand about seven years prior, after growing up in India, where he played cricket for fun.

He remarked upon his new home country loving its sport, which was something he enjoyed.

“I play cricket, not rugby, so at least the topic can start with a customer and there’s something to talk about then,” he said.

New gun laws loom as massacre toll hits 50 Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is expected to announce a ban on military-style semi-automatic weapons and tighter controls on gun ownership following a Cabinet meeting today that will focus entirely on the Christchurch mosque shootings.

Ardern has been firm that the country’s gun laws will change following the attacks on two mosques on Friday in which 50 people were killed.

She is also expected to announce a review of any failings of security agencies in the lead-up to the attacks.

Australian man Brenton Tarrant has been charged with murder over the shootings of worshippers at mosques in Linwood and Riccarton.

Ardern indicated she had the support of Deputy Prime Minister

Winston Peters for the changes, despite previous strong opposition from New Zealand First on the issue of tighter gun control.

“As I’ve already indicated, there will be changes to our gun laws.

We will be discussing the more detailed policy at Cabinet tomorrow.

Of course I’ve had conversations directly with the Deputy Prime Minister, as you would expect,” Ardern told reporters yesterday.

She was careful to reiterate that any legislative changes would take some time.

Ardern said security agencies would update Cabinet ministers tomorrow and those agencies would also be discussed.

“We need to make sure that we are looking more broadly at the work of our agencies, not just our intelligence services, police and our borders to ensure that we’ve

taken a comprehensive approach and done everything we can to prevent any kind of action like this in the future.”

She said there needed to be a “comprehensive response” to an range of issues the attacks had raised.

“I don’t want to pre-empt that but I will be looking to move as swiftly on those areas where we need to respond as I can.”

Opposition leader Simon Bridges said the National Party would back gun law reform.

“We will be ready and prepared to be constructive and to look at anything here because we do need to see some change,” he said.

Tarrant emailed a copy of his hate-filled manifesto, which included his intended targets, to the Prime Minister’s office and others, including media, just minutes be-

fore carrying out the attacks which he livestreamed on Facebook.

He obtained a New Zealand gun licence in November 2017 and legally bought the weapons he be-

gan purchasing a year later.

He was reportedly a member of a rifle club in Dunedin and practised shooting an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle there. It was an AR-15 modified to be fully automatic that was thought to have been used in the shootings.

At present it is the gun owner that is licensed rather than the weapons themselves.

Otago University public health experts Marie Russell and Hera Cook said now was the time for the gun lobby to stand aside and a moratorium to be immediately implemented.

“Along with countries in North America, New Zealand is one of the few places where owners don’t have to register each weapon, except for some limited categories of firearms,” Cooks and Russell said in a statement.

Tune on the net and listen to it anytime, anywhere.

FOR LOCALS, FAMILIES AND FRIENDS.

YOU CAN NOW SNAP CHAT WITH HOOPS!

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is seeking advice on any possible deportation of the man accused of the mosque shootings.

Brenton Tarrant is Australian and had been living in Dunedin until his alleged killing spree at two Christchurch mosques on Friday.

Ardern was asked by reporters yesterday whether Tarrant was likely to be deported to Australia.

“I don’t want to go to far down that track while we’re obviously in early stages.

Charges have been laid, we can expect additional charges, he’ll be appearing in the High Court on the 5th of April, so there’s obviously a process that needs to be gone through here.

“But I can say I am seeking advice on what will happen thereafter.”

Asked whether Ardern was referring to

deportation before a sentence was served or after, a spokesman said she was looking at the issue in its entirety and getting advice on all options.

Tarrant did not require a visa to enter New Zealand because as an Australian he was able to enter the country and live here without one.

Immigration New Zealand, which said it could not comment specifically on Tarrant, said Australians were subject to the same deportation liability as any other visitor.

At present Tarrant is charged with one count of murder under the Crimes Act. Police Commissioner Mike Bush said that would change and police were considering all Acts it could lay charges under, including the Terrorism Suppression Act and more charges under the Crimes Act. - NZME

Survivor escaped death by seconds

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

When Ashburton man El Ouafi Aghoutan saw a gunman shooting near the Linwood mosque on Friday, he thought it was some sort of joke.

“I thought he might be like just trying to scare people,” the dad of two said.

Aghoutan was running late for Friday prayers at the mosque, and realises now that those few minutes of tardiness most likely saved his life.

As he pulled up in his car on Linwood Avenue, he saw the gunman about 30 metres in front of him near the footpath shooting into the carpark area of the mosque. As the gunman looked around, Aghoutan instinctively reversed his car to get away.

But then suddenly the gunman got into a vehicle and drove away.

Aghoutan drove into the carpark and saw three dead people and guns on the ground.

He walked to the door of the mosque and saw people screaming and running.

“It was very hard for me to see this,” he said.

They were more than just fellow worshippers, they were his friends and “brothers”, and Aghoutan has the heartbreak of knowing his dear friend Imran Khan was among those killed at the site.

Police were quickly on the scene and took details from survivors gathered at the Z station across the road, before allowing them to go home.

“I’m very sad about this, and in shock.”

Aghoutan is a regular worshipper at the Ashburton Masjid and also visits the Deans Avenue mosque regularly. It was his first time visiting the Linwood mosque.

“What’s happened we never expect this to be in New Zealand.”

Yesterday he and wife Faiza and their two young children stopped by the

Ashburton Masjid on their way to visit one of their injured friends in Christchurch Hospital.

Meanwhile, the Ashburton Masjid remains closed after the Christchurch attacks.

Ashburton Muslim Association secretary Rajab Mzee said members were staying in touch with the Ashburton police on when it may be able to re-open.

Murder accused Brenton Tarrant said in his online manifesto posted before the attacks that targeting Christchurch rather than Dunedin was favourable to him, as it allowed for an extra planned attack on the mosque in Ashburton.

Police are maintaining a presence at mosques around the country, and have armed officers guarding any which are open.

“What we have agreed is we just have to wait until all is considered in regard to security concerns,” Mzee said.

He said members had just completed their Friday

prayers about 2.10pm at the Ashburton Masjib when they heard of the unfolding attack.

“One of our brothers came in and said ‘sad news’… everybody was confused because we don’t know what was happening.”

He thought his 20-year-old son would be visiting the Deans Avenue mosque at the time, and phoned him and got no answer.

“And then after a few minutes he called back, and he assured me ‘I’m okay’,” Mzee said.

Ashburton man El Ouafi Aghoutan is grateful to be alive after surviving the mosque massacre in Christchurch on Friday.

Outpouring of grief

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Tributes have been flowing in Mid Canterbury for those lost in the Christchurch terror attacks.

At the Ashburton Masjid, which is closed along with mosques around the country, flowers are building up on the footpath beside State Highway 1 at Tinwald, alongside burning candles.

There has been a steady stream of people visiting over the weekend, some leaving heartfelt messages.

“In New Zealand We are One,” wrote nine-year-old Madeleine Pegg on a piece of A4 paper, alongside her colourful drawing of people of different races holding hands.

Her parents Cristian and Joanna drove all the way from Rakaia to leave a bunch of lillies with the drawing.

“The world has gone a little crazy at times, but New Zealand can show the way,” said Cristian. He said talks of gun reform was an example of this country taking the lead. “It’s just so tragic what’s happened,” added Joanna.

Adi Avnit, co-ordinator of the Hakatere Multi Cultural Council and Newcomers’ Network, said it was encouraging to see such a universal response where everyone was trying to help.

He urged Mid Cantabrians seeking a way to help to reach out to newcomers and migrants in the district.

“Make a connection with a stranger, show how welcoming New Zealand is,” Avnit said.

Network board member and Ashburton District Councillor Thelma Bell was among those laying flowers, and she bumped into nearby resident Faiza Aghoutan who was visiting the site.

Aghoutan’s husband was among those at the Linwood mosque on Friday, who luckily escaped injury.

Aghoutan said she and her fellow Muslim community members were overwhelmed and grateful for all the support shown. Many had asked them personally if they were okay, and sent messages of support.

“It’s the small things that mean so much for us,” she said.

New Zealand internet service providers are working together to block any websites with footage of the Christchurch massacre. Spark, Vodafone, 2degree and Vocus are actively working collectively to ensure the footage is inaccessible to New Zealanders. New Zealand Telecommunications Forum chief executive Geoff Thorn said the move for the country’s internet service providers to work together was unprecedented.

He said it was a decision the whole industry agreed on. “The gunman clearly wanted his actions to be seen, but we do not believe that this is desirable and are doing what we can to prevent this from happening as much as possible,” Thorn said, referencing the attack being livestreamed on social media. Thorn said internet providers were sharing knowledge and that a number of websites had been blacklisted.

Challenging task

Thelma Bell, with Faiza Aghoutan, lays flowers at the Ashburton Masjid.

An Islamic expert says the Christchurch Muslim community will be facing a challenging task of organising 50 burials for those killed in the mosque shootings.

Deputy police chief Wally Haumaha said yesterday the bodies will be returned to loved ones “as quickly as possible”. This is likely to be done by Wednesday. Zain Ali, University of Auckland professional teaching fellow and former head of Islamic Research, says the community was facing “practical, psychological and spiritual” issues. He said a Facebook post was seeking help from members of its Muslim community with the funerals and burials.“This is a small community facing a really big practical issue on how to organise nearly 50 funerals,” he said.

Mid Canterbury churches remember attack victims

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury churches remembered Christchurch’s terror attack victims at services and special vigils over the weekend.

At the 140-year anniversary celebration of St Andrew’s Anglican Church at Tinwald, the church bell was rung 49 times, symbolising the lives lost in the attack.

The number has since climbed to 50.

Anglican Archdeacon of Mid Canterbury, Joan Clark, said the bell ringing was not only for the ears of the 100 or so attending the anniversary service, but also for the people of the wider Tinwald area.

“There is nothing like a church bell ringing out to stir people,” Clark said.

The bell-ringing followed a prayer vigil at St Stephen’s Anglican parish on Saturday, from 10am to mid afternoon.

“It was just creating a space where peo-

ple could sit and be,” Clark said.

“The reality that Ashburton was third on the list, the reality of the shooting we have had here previously, and the memory of the earthquake – all those memories are coming back for people. We just wanted to let people know we are there, and can do whatever we can to support them.”

Clark said she had been in touch with Ashburton’s Muslim community to offer support, and she hoped the Tinwald St Andrew’s parish hall would be of use to them.

Muslim community members already used the hall for social events, and she said she would be more than happy for them to use it as a worship space as they waited for their facility to re-open.

Methven churches planned a candlelight vigil 5pm yesterday in the town centre.

A candlelight vigil was held last night in Methven.

A heavy police presence has remained in Ashburton since the Christchurch terrorist attacks on Friday, with several incidents sparking a swift response from police.

On Saturday at 9am police were called to an Archibald Street address after receiving reports of a bomb threat.

Police and a bomb dog attended and nothing was found near the address or anywhere in Ashburton.

Residents were left alarmed on Tancred Street on Saturday morning after a family harm incident at a residential address.

Witnesses on the street reported hearing loud smashing noises coming from the house, followed by a woman running east down Tancred Street, screaming for help while clutching a shotgun to her chest.

Members of police and the armed offenders squad had sections of the street closed off for a period of time and one arrest was

PHOTO JAIME PITT-MACKAY 160319-JPM-0001 made. The busy morning continued for police after there was a small fire in the cell block at the Ashburton Police Station, causing no notable damage and no injuries.

“The fire was pretty well controlled by the time we got there it was just a matter of clearing smoke,” Ashburton fire chief Alan

Burgess said.

Loud banging noises and police sirens were reported late on Saturday night in the Tinwald area.

“As part of the ongoing inquiries into the terror attacks, police have been doing inquiries overnight in the wider Canterbury area. This will explain the bang-

ing noises and sirens in the area,” a police spokesperson said.

Police are maintaining their presence at mosques around the country. While mosques are open, or have people in residence, police will be maintaining an armed presence.

When mosques are closed, police will be in the immediate area and able to respond urgently.

Police have said at this point they do not believe there is a link between the robbery at the Ashburton railway yards and the attacks in Christchurch, but that as part of their lines of inquiry they will be looking in to it.

Police were advised at 11am on Thursday morning that a large quantity of equipment, including 24 railway detonators, a fire extinguisher and a hand held communications radio were taken.

“The detonators are placed on the tracks to act as a warning there is an emergency ahead.

They are pressure detonators, so that when a train runs over them, they explode as a warning,” says Senior Sergeant Matt Emery.

Schools around the district are preparing to help students deal with the effects of the traumatic news in relation to the terrorist attacks in Christchurch that occurred on Friday.

“The first thing that will happen is we will be making sure we debrief with our teachers around what has happened as they have their own emotional responses as well,” Mid Canterbury principals’ association president Tim Kuipers said.

“Children have a range of emotional responses so managing that won’t just be tomorrow but it will be for the next few weeks as well.”

Schools will be sending advice to parents and teachers on how to help children and manage the situation wisely.

“The thought is that to help can be to generate our own support in any way and to do something positive,” he said.

“I know the CPPA (Canterbury primary principals’ association) are planning on doing something that we would look to join in with in Mid Canterbury.”

In an email to parents, Mt Somers Springburn School principal Sean Wansbrough staff will be meeting today to talk about how they will discuss what has happened with children.

“We want you to all know that we will be there to listen, allay fears and give hugs if necessary,” he said.

“At this time we want things to be as normal as possible for our children and share the understanding that we will all process what has happened differently.

“Let’s all hope that out of this comes the chance to better understand differences in people and reject those whose views promote hatred.”

Man dies in crash

Crowds turned out for the Methvne A&P Show on Saturday, despite a weather forecast predicting drizzle.

■ METHVEN A&P SHOW

Fantastic day for show

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Methven A&P Show on Saturday was a fantastic day despite a weather forecast predicting otherwise, says president Simon Wilson.

“We are extremely lucky the way the weather turned out,” Wilson said.

Temperatures were relatively balmy in the high teens, and the sun came out intermittently. A patch of drizzle in the afternoon lasted all of about 20 minutes at the start of the grand parade.

Gate takings were slightly down on last year, and possibly the forecast may have put a few people off, Wilson said.

“We do rely on local people, it’s a very local show, and they were there,” he said.

“We have had nothing but positive comments on how the grounds looked and how the show went, everybody had big smiles on their faces.”

He gave credit for this to his hardworking A&P committee.

There was a minute’s silence following the

president’s speech about 2pm for the victims and those affected by Friday’s terror attack in Christchurch.

The grounds fell silent, or as close to it as possible, as all the various pursuits under way came to a standstill.

In the shearing shed, a competition continued as the commentary stopped, and it took a small moment for the highland dancing arena to fall into line.

“Someone had to whistle out to stop the piper,” Wilson said.

A man has died after a serious crash involving eight people in South Canterbury. Emergency services were alerted at 7.23am yesterday to the crash involving two vehicles on the Twizel-Tekapo Road in Pukaki. Police yesterday confirmed that a 70-year-old man had died. Earlier, St John said four people were flown to Dunedin Hospital with serious injuries.

Another patient had been flown to Christchurch Hospital, while two people were taken to Timaru Hospital via ambulance. Their conditions were listed by St John as moderate to minor. One person was not injured, police said. A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesperson said two people had to be extricated from the vehicles. Crews from Twizel and Lake Tekapo attended. Three ambulances and three helicopters were sent to the scene.

A reporter at the scene said the man, who was dressed in green and came of the scooter on Castle Street near the Dundas Street intersection, was taken away in a St John ambulance. Hordes of people, many of them intoxicated and dressed in Saint Patrick’s Day attire, swarmed the student quarter yesterday. Emergency services were earlier called to the student quarter after Lime scooters were torched at a large, boozy party.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Comment sought on civic centre

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The future of Ashburton’s new civic centre and library project is now firmly in the community’s hands.

District councillors last week signed off a consultation document for the project and every person in the district now has an opportunity to have their say on what is likely to be a $45 million facility, says Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel.

Councillors want the community to help them decide what kind of library they will need for the next 50 years, she said.

“This is a major investment in the future of our district and the library and civic centre will need to meet the needs of generations to come, so it is crucial that we get this right.

“I encourage everyone to take a look at the options and tell us which one they think is the right fit for our district.”

Whether people agreed or disagreed with the council’s preferred $45m option, it was important they took the time to let the council know, Favel said.

The project comes with a massive budget over run on the original $22m estimate but costs in the consultation document, however are robust and realistic, she said.

This estimate was based on the best available information at the

Ashburton’s proposed new civic centre and library. time and did not include a number of areas such as fit out, fixtures and the cost of site works.

The original cost was intended to be covered from reserve funds and from land sales.

With the council’s preferred option to cost $45m the project will now need to incur some debt to complete.

The four options range in cost from $39m to $53m.

The new building will cater for up to 142 staff, will provide a modern library that encourages learning and social interaction and will provide commercially leased office space, an information centre and a café.

The current civic administration building was constructed in 1971 to house an estimated 50 staff. It was expected to have a 50 year life span, which would take it

to 2021.

The building only meets 34 per cent of the post earthquake building standards and the council decided it was more cost effective to build a new facility rather than strengthen and extend the existing one.

The library opened in 1967 and at the time it was considered a great example of a modern library but it does not provide the servic-

es a community expects from a modern library.

The building meets only 20 per cent of building standards and while external bracing is in place it will have to close after 2022 unless major work is carried out Residents are being asked to select which option they think the district needs.

They will be able to choose between the council’s preferred option (a $45m project that would meet the district’s needs), a larger library (estimated at $53m), a smaller library ($41m), or a facility that would be constructed in two different buildings (the Civic Centre in Baring Square East and the current Library refurbished on Havelock Street, estimated to be a $39m project).

Consultation is now open and the community can have its say until April 15. The council will also hold community meetings on Wednesday at 12.30pm and 7pm and two community drop in days in the old i-SITE building on March 25 and April 5.

Copies of the consultation document are available from the council office in Baring Square.

Submissions can be made in person, over the phone (03 307 7700), email info@adc.govt.nz, online www.ashburtondc.govt. nz/haveyoursay or by using the submission form at the end of the consultation document.

■ MOUNTAIN BIKE TRACK

Council mountain bike track open for business

By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton District Council has tentatively reopened the section of mountain bike track running along the old landfill in Ashburton on Range Street, and is urging track users to stay off the steep slope further down where a new unapproved track has been dug.

The mountain bike track was originally closed off on March 8 after the council discovered that someone had dug an unapproved track into the south-west slope of the old landfill, posing a significant environmental and safety risk to the community.

“We have been liaising with track users and are comfortable for the time being with riders continuing to access the track at the top of the landfill,” council service delivery group manager Neil McCann said.

“We are very concerned that it appears some users have been going around the barrier we installed and are going down the steep slope where they could encounter waste and hazards that may have been exposed from the recent digging.

“We are reopening the original track to all walkers and riders on the understanding that they stay at the top of the landfill, and not

go down the slope where they shouldn’t be.”

The track is generally maintained by the Mid Canterbury Mountain Bike club who were pleased that the track was open again to bike use.

“We are really happy about the progress that we have made with the council and that we are moving forward and creating a plan for how to manage it,” club president James Reid said.

Reid said they have pushed the message to the club’s members before, but that due to the number of people that use the tracks, an arrangement like signs might be needed to let the users know the risks.

“We only have just under 100 members and there are thousands that use the track so getting the message to them is important,” he said.

The council is consented through Environment Canterbury to manage the old landfill and associated activities. Council has strived to allow public access and activities on the old landfill that would not breach its consented activities.

The landfill may need to be closed to the public if the management of the site becomes too problematic.

An extensive number of established native plants were removed from the slope as part of the unapproved track work.

The council has previously repaired damage to the slope, when attempts were first made in 2016 to dig a new track there. Those native plantings formed part of the repairs.

“It’s very unfortunate that the landfill has been damaged like this, to the detriment of all the track users who had been doing

the right thing. We are continuing to work with Environment Canterbury to assess what needs to be done,” McCann said.

“We hope that public access on the landfill does not need to be permanently restricted due to this incident, as it is very clear how important this facility is to the community.”

■ UNITED STATES

Houses of worship armed A rabbi who packs a gun. A church installing security cameras. A police car protecting a mosque.

Houses of worship have traditionally been places of refuge where strangers are welcome.

But high-profile attacks in recent years on an African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina, a synagogue in Pittsburgh and now mosques in New Zealand have made many worshippers and their prayer leaders rethink how protected sanctuaries really are.

“People are fearful for their lives, for their houses of worship, for the sanctuary of this mosque and other places of worship like the synagogues and African-American churches that are being attacked. People are concerned,” said Imam Mohannad Hakeem while attending prayers at the Islamic Centre of Detroit.

History shows sanctuaries are not immune from violence, as illustrated by bombings at African-American churches during the Civil Rights era. And in countries struggling with sectarian violence, attacks on houses of worship are much more frequent.

But for countries at peace, the

attacks are much rarer.

For many, houses of worship are sanctuaries where congregants bond with their shared sense of faith and community.

The recent attacks have made some question whether houses of worship have turned into soft targets, losing some of their sense of sacredness.

In the parking lot of the Islamic Centre of Detroit, a watchful police officer sat in a squad car, keeping an eye out for any signs of potential trouble. Worshippers thanked the officer – offering

him food, drinks, a handshake.

Inside, Dearborn Police Chief Ronald Haddad greeted congregants with handshakes and hugs. Dearborn is a Detroit suburb with a large Arab and Muslim population.

Haddad said he doesn’t know if houses of worship are more of a target today than in previous times, but the scale and scope of the attacks in New Zealand clearly attracted his attention.

“Given what happened in New Zealand last night, we want to make sure that our community

feels safe and secure,” he said.

In Chicago, the Muslim Community Centre and the Downtown Islamic Centre increased security during Friday prayers.

Several armed police officers stood guard outside and inside.

Dana Al-Qadi, 29, an engineer, was committed to attending after the attacks but said doing so brings her a feeling of peace mixed with fear.

“People are their most vulnerable when they’re at the masjid (mosque). It’s where they bring their worries, their weaknesses, and try to speak to God. They’re in such a vulnerable state of mind and spirit. In that moment, someone decided to be such a transgressor. That brings me so much sadness,” she said.

For many in the Jewish community, last year’s synagogue shooting attack in Pittsburgh sparked a similar sense of vulnerability.

Eleven people died in what was the worst attack on Jews in US history on October 27 when an anti-Semitic truck driver is believed to have spewed his hatred of Jews as he opened fire on the Tree of Life Congregation synagogue.

Fern lights Aussie icon A silver fern has been projected onto the Sydney Opera House as a symbol of solidarity for the people of New Zealand following the Christchurch attack.

The sails of the Opera House were lit up on Saturday night, a day after Muslims were massacred while worshipping at mosques in Christchurch.

The Silver Fern of New Zealand illumination represented “solidarity, support and respect” after at least 49 people were killed when an Australian alleged gunman stormed two mosques.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the display demonstrated the state’s unity and compassion towards everyone affected by the attacks.

■ ETHIOPIA

Grieving families given earth from crash site Grieving family members of victims of the Ethiopian air disaster are being given sacks of earth to bury in place of the remains of their loved ones.

Officials have begun delivering bags of earth to family members of the 157 victims of the crash instead of the remains of their loved ones because the identification process is going to take such a long time.

Families are being given a 1kg sack of scorched earth taken from the crash sites, members of two different families told The

Associated Press. They spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid any possible government reprisal. An Ethiopian government official who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters also confirmed the deliveries of soil.

“The soil came as it became impossible to identify bodies and hand over remains to family members,” one family member said.

“We will not rest until we are given the real body or body parts

of our loved ones.”

Forensic DNA work has begun on identifying the remains but it may take six months to identify the victims, because the body parts are in small pieces. However, authorities say they will issue death certificates within two weeks. The victims of the crash came from 35 countries.

A mass memorial service for the dead was planned in Addis Ababa yesterday, one week after the crash.

Muslim families have already held prayers for the dead and

are anxious to have something to bury as soon as possible.

Interpol and Blake Emergency Services, hired by Ethiopian Airlines, will work with Ethiopian police and health officials to identify the bodies, Dagmawit Moges, Ethiopia’s Minister of Transport said on Saturday.

“Preparation for the identification process has already started and we will make sure that the post mortem investigation will start as soon as possible,” she said.

In brief Royal visit Prince Charles and Camilla are making a historic visit to Cuba as part of major tour of the Caribbean. The royal couple will make an official four-day trip to the communist state next week – a first by members of the monarchy and will feature a meeting with some of Cuba’s most celebrated music stars. At a Havana recording studio, the prince and his wife are expected to be introduced to members of the Buena Vista Social Club who became world-wide celebrities when their 1997 album became a surprise global hit and Grammy award winner.

50 die in flood About 50 people were killed after flash floods and landslides hit the capital of Indonesia’s Papua province, police say. “There about 50 bodies at the hospital as a result of floods and landslides,” Papua police spokesman Suryadi Diaz said yesterday. Waters began inundating nine villages in Papua’s capital Jayapura late on Saturday following heavy rain, said Sutopo Nugroho, spokesman for the National Disaster Management Agency. More than 150 houses were submerged in the Sentani area, he added.

May warns of delay British Prime Minister Theresa May’s has warned MPs that unless they approve her Brexit divorce deal after two crushing defeats, Britain’s exit from the European Union could face a long delay and could involve taking part in European parliament elections.

After two-and-a-half years of tortuous divorce negotiations with the EU, the final outcome is still uncertain with options including a long delay, exiting with May’s deal, a disorderly exit without a deal or even another referendum.

May has issued Brexit supporters a clear ultimatum – ratify her deal by a European Council summit on March 21 or face a delay to Brexit way beyond June 30.

Solar for schools After hearing the calls of thousands of students who rallied for climate change action, the NSW Labor leader has pledged to install solar panels across state schools if elected on Saturday.

NSW Opposition leader Michael Daley on Sunday announced $100 million to install the panels on more than 350 schools as part of Labor’s commitment to tackle climate change. The solar package will reduce power costs and emissions and help students further their knowledge about renewable energy.

Protests turn violent Rioters have set fire to a bank and ransacked stores on Paris’ landmark shopping street in a new flare-up of violence as France’s yellow vest protests entered a fourth month. The protests are aimed at President Emmanuel Macron and his pro-business reforms. Police fired tear gas and water cannons as the protests turned violent again after weeks of relative calm during marches and declining numbers of participants.

Two people had to be rescued from a burning bank.

OUR VIEW

Learning to live with a new normal F

riday’s murderous rampage in two Christchurch mosques has changed the way we live our lives forever.

In just 30 minutes a man with hate in his heart killed at least 50 people, plunged hundreds into mourning and stunned not only the rest of New Zealand, but people across the world.

In those minutes we went from being one of the world’s safe havens to being a country where atrocities were committed on racial and religious grounds. Our reputation for tolerance and acceptance was shredded in a hail of bullets.

The Canterbury earthquakes rocked our world. They changed the way many of us lived our lives. Those earthquakes drew communities together as we rebuilt, reshaped our region.

Sue Newman

SENIOR REPORTER

This was a disaster we could understand, rationalise and work out ways to deal with.

They were a tragic event with tragic results – many, many deaths that changed the world of many, many families, but underlying that tragedy was the knowledge that earthquakes were a natural disaster over which we had no control.

The mosque shootings are incomprehensible. They are a human-generated tragedy over which only one man had control.

Today every New Zealander will be asking how someone could be consumed by so much hate, so much anger, that they were prepared to take the lives of strangers simply because they worshipped a different God, and wore clothing that marked them out as from another culture.

What kind of environment creates such a monster, what kind of family? And yet this person will not be the only monster to live amongst us.

Sadly, they too, are New Zealanders just like the people they murdered.

New Zealand today is a very different place to the New Zealand we knew on Friday morning. It changed just before 2pm that day. Now we have to deal with a very new and far from attractive reality – we’re just

like the rest of the world. Racial intolerance now clearly walks our streets.

We will not get over this, we will not recover, life will not return to normal as we knew it.

We now have a new normal, one many of us may struggle to come to terms with.

This will change our sense of security, it will make us cautious, it will make us less trusting.

If one group of New Zealanders can be targeted by a madman with a gun, how does that make other groups with a different cultural makeup feel? There’s probably only one word – afraid.

And how does it make each one of us feel as an individual?

Fighting back against racial intolerance can come in many ways – it can be extending a hand of friendship to a stranger,

simply offering a smile on the street.

But it can also come in refusing to be afraid, in continuing to go about your life without fear, in not looking over your shoulder, not changing who you are and what you do.

If we stand tall and refuse to be cowed by fear, we’re winners. If we change our lives, live behind curtains, live in fear, monsters like the mosque shooter have won.

We can never regain our status as a safe haven for people of all religions, all cultures, but there are steps we can take to remove some of the risk around attacks by fanatical fringe groups.

Toughening up our firearms laws will be a good start, and politicians will begin that journey today.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Monday, March 18, the 77th day of 2019. There are 288 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On March 18, 1965, the first spacewalk took place as Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov went outside his Voskhod 2 capsule, secured by a tether.

On this date: In 1766, Britain repealed the Stamp Act of 1765.

Prime minister Jacinda Ardern speaks to members of the Muslim community in Christchurch.

PHOTO AP

Hate has no place here A

long with many in our community, over the weekend we have been processing the terrible events of Friday.

As more footage and more images have been released, the more it has sunk in. What barely felt real on Friday evening, or seemed like something that might happen on the other side of the world, the cold reality, that this happened on our doorstep, is now brutally inescapable.

Canterbury, and New Zealand, this place we all love and call home, will never be the same.

Many of our friends and neighbours from across the Selwyn and Rangitata electorates have been affected, and as your local Members of Parliament we have been providing support where we can.

On Saturday Amy visited the Christchurch Migrant Centre with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, National Party leader Simon Bridges and other senior political leaders.

As Simon has rightly said, now

Amy Adams

YOUR MP - WORKING FOR YOU

is not a time for politics. It’s a time for grieving, and we stand as one with the Government in denouncing this violence in our own back yard.

Any Prime Minister would utterly condemn an act of domestic terrorism, but we commend Jacinda Ardern for the dignified way she has handled this tragedy.

She has provided comfort to families of those killed or injured in the two mosque attacks, and allowed other political leaders to do the same.

But for all of us, it’s hard to escape a sense of helplessness.

As much as we might try, nothing will erase the barbaric act committed on our soil.

Andrew Falloon

YOUR MP - WORKING FOR YOU

At the time of writing nearly $3.5 million has been given via a GiveaLittle page to provide support to victims and their families.

We’ve joined many in laying flowers at local mosques – Amy at the site of the shooting in Deans Ave, and Andrew at the mosque in Tinwald.

While there, Andrew and wife Rose spoke to a couple who had just returned from Christchurch.

Tragically they had lost a family member in the attack.

Generously, they invited Rose and Andrew to their son’s home to speak about their loss and the impact on the local Muslim community.

It was a kind and incredibly

moving gesture.

It’s the sort of response we’ll all have to take, reaching out to others in our community, inviting people into our homes or places of worship. To understand that our differences are not scary, that they enhance our district. That a multitude of cultures, colours and flavours makes us a more vibrant and welcoming place.

The alternative, where we close our doors, become suspicious of one another and sow division, is a recipe for hate and intolerance, where these attacks only become more regular.

If we can take one thing from this tragedy, we hope it is this: only love can conquer hate. That we learn more about each other, and love one another.

■ NEW ZEALAND

Climb the steps at the top of Trafalgar Street to marvel over Christchurch Church Cathedral, a towering showcase of Takaka marble.

Noshing around Nelson-Tasman L

ast month’s Pigeon Valley fire, New Zealand’s worst forest fire in six decades, thrust the region front and centre on the news agenda.

I happened to be in the region at the height of the fire and despite the pervasive sense of fear rippling through the community, the outpouring of generosity and goodwill was as golden as the blazing sun.

From tickling your toes in the golden powdery sands of Kaiteriteri to soaking up sublime art at Suter Gallery, abundance is a byword for the Nelson-Tasman region, writes Mike Yardley.

A year ago, it was ex-Cyclone Gita that barrelled into town.

In a sure-fire sign of how adept Nelsonians are at bouncing back, it was particularly heartening to see the magnificent Boatshed Café back in business and bus-

tling, after being smashed apart by the storm.

For history buffs, there’s a smorgasbord of choice in these parts. After all, Nelson is the South Island’s oldest city – and second oldest in New Zealand.

The golden sands of Kaiteriteri is a potent lure for many thousands of beach-goers annually.

Climb the steps at the top of Trafalgar Street to marvel over Christchurch Church Cathedral, a towering showcase of Takaka marble.

As the self-described craft brewing capital of New Zealand, a surfeit of choice awaits, however, the Moutere Inn is just the spot to raise your glass, it’s the country’s oldest pub, as old as the Treaty of Waitangi. The booming hops industry can be traced back to those early German settlers who brought hops plants with them, to the well-suited climate of Nelson, 170 years ago.

The region abounds with specialty food producers fiercely competing for the attention of your taste-buds.

Moutere Fruits does a very fine line of jams and chutneys, from chilli jam to cherry and cinnamon conserve. Over the long summer months, their hydroponically grown strawberries are fawned over – in a region that is certainly no stranger to hydroponics!

A Tahunanui powerhouse since the 1980s, Sujon is the superfruit company of Sue and John. They produce all manner of fruity concoctions from smoothie mixes and snap frozen berries to berry powder supplements.

In a similar vein, another savvy

family business is Little Beauties.

They make dried feijoa, kiwifruit and boysenberries, which also come paired with white or dark chocolate. Tasty goodness.

Macadamias may well be my favourite nut, and Karapuke’s spray-free macadamia trees thrive in the Nelson climate.

Insatiably moreish, Karapuke Macadamias can be bought in bulk or in snack-packs.

But the nut that packs the biggest punch in the region is undoubtedly Pic’s Peanut Butter, a runaway export success story. Their all new Pic’s World of Peanut Butter tour opens this month, and kids go gaga over their factory tour which includes the chance to make your own peanut butter.

Pic’s also does a very fine job with almond butter and cashew butter, but nothing excites my nostrils quite like the whiff of freshly roasted peanuts.

One of my most indelible childhood memories is walking into Farmers Department Store, and the aroma of freshly roasted peanuts swept you up.

It was intoxicating and probably a shrewd ploy to try and impel shoppers to linger longer.

In a region famed for its bucketload of sunshine, it stands to reason that the artisanal prowess of the food producers have turned their hands to icecream.

Seifried Estate, the South Island’s oldest family winery is home to the globally recognised Sweet Agnes late harvest Riesling.

Best in Show? Appleby Farms, for the complete paddock to cone experience.

They own the paddocks, grow the grass, nurture their herd of A2 cows and churn their milk into face-melting icecream. Routinely decorated with awards, you’ll find their products in supermarkets or at Hamish’s on Mapua Wharf.

Home to one of the nation’s burgeoning creative art communities, the spectacular natural environment clearly helps crank up the expressive energy.

Short on time to do justice to all of them, I made a point of popping in to the Hoglund Glassblowing Gallery. Situated in Appleby, glass artists Ola and Marie Hoglund have been welcoming the world to their studio and gallery since 1982.

Swedish heritage meets Pacific flair in the creation of their globally recognised artworks. Their bold but balanced use of colours and sophisticated designs have led their art glass being exhibited all over the world.

Whether you’re looking for a keep-safe souvenir or a more lavish art work, the expansive collection of pieces in the gallery,

spans all budgets.

While you’re in the neighbourhood, Seifried Estate, the South Island’s oldest family winery, is just a stone’s throw away.

Harvested from sustainably accredited vineyards scattered across the region, Seifried Estate is home to the globally recognised Sweet Agnes late harvest Riesling.

You must not miss a visit to Jens Hansen. The Nelson jeweller has been crafting distinctive hand-forged pieces for nearly 60 years, but their greatest claim to fame is being hand-picked by Sir Peter Jackson to create The Movie Ring, as worn by Frodo.

Born in Denmark, Jens (pronounced Yens) moved to New Zealand in the early 1950s, passing away in 1999. On a visit to the Nelson studio workshop you’ll learn all about the making of the movie ring, plus you can even buy an officially licensed replica!

His legacy lives on in the hands of the workshop’s jewellers and the Jens Hansen style.

Situated at the base of the Richmond Ranges, the Tasman District’s fastest growing town, Richmond, is an ideal launchpad from which to explore the

region’s marvels.

Oxford Court Motel was my roost, a superbly equipped and sharply priced accommodation option, with swimming pool, playground, laundry – and it’s pet-friendly.

It’s also firefighter-friendly, as many of the gallant volunteer firefighters who tackled the Pigeon Valley Fire would arrive back to the motel after pulling a 12-hour shift, looking physically shattered but grateful for a comfortable crash-pad. Motel units are well-appointed, with full kitchen facilities and Sky TV. I booked my accommodation through Booking.com who boast hundreds of options across Nelson-Tasman, plus an excellent filter highlighting where your four-legged travelling companions are welcome.

Art combines with nature Nature’s magnificence will provide the perfect stage for Shakespearian prose and poetic beauty later this month.

Big Little Theatre Company will present Trott’s Garden Shakesperience on March 31.

Students from the whole company are involved, including those pictured.

They will deliver bite-size

pieces from the 16th century bard, interspersing these with song and dance, no doubt having help in this area from the resident birds and bumblebees.

Audience members will move throughout Trotts Garden to view the different pieces.

The performance is a fundraiser for a trip to the Globe Theatre in July.

Recovered stolen painting back in spotlight More than 30 years after it was brazenly stolen from an Arizona museum, a painting by Willem de Kooning reportedly worth $100 million is going on display back where it all began.

The University of Arizona Museum of Art in Tucson is throwing a fundraiser and homecoming party of sorts for Woman-Ochre before it gets whisked away for months of restoration work. For some who worked at the museum when the painting was stolen in 1985, the celebration still seems surreal.

Lee Karpiscak, who was the curator of collections at the time, recalls the entire staff feeling devastated. “We tried to be realistic about it,” she said. “All these scenarios go through your head and make you crazy. We certainly hoped it would be returned.”

It was the morning after Thanksgiving when authorities said a man and a woman showed up at the museum. A security

Woman-Ochre readied for examination by University of Arizona Museum of Art staff Nathan Saxton (left) and Kristen Schmidt.

PHOTO AP guard and students working the front desk were the only ones there, according to Karpiscak.

Police said the woman distracted the guard with small-talk while the man cut the painting right out

of the frame, leaving edges of the canvas still attached. The entire heist lasted around 15 minutes.

There was no security camera system set up then. The next few days were a flurry of activity as

FBI agents interviewed the entire staff. But no significant leads developed.

On the theft’s 30th anniversary, the museum displayed the empty frame at a news conference in hopes of generating tips.

Then in 2017, a furniture and antiques dealer in Silver City, New Mexico, bought the painting at an estate sale. When researching the piece, he discovered an article about the theft. He notified the museum. A conservator with the university found it to be a perfect match.

The furniture dealer had gotten the painting from the estate of Jerry and Rita Alter. The art work had been hanging in their Cliff, New Mexico, home. Relatives also discovered a photo of the couple taken Thanksgiving Day 1985 in Tucson. Jerry Alter died in 2012 and his wife in 2017. Authorities have never publicly called them suspects.

In brief Rebels fall in a hole Melbourne’s stunning South African capitulation has kept the Brumbies and NSW Waratahs well in the hunt for Australian Super Rugby conference honours. The previously unbeaten Rebels had the opportunity to crack their maiden win in South Africa and jump clear atop the conference standings, but gave up a 28-point lead to lose to the Lions 36-33 in Johannesburg.

Rebels skipper Dane Haylett-Petty said his team were “hurting” with the result, which they contributed to with a 20-1 penalty count as well as two yellow cards.

Scots stun England George Ford rescued England with an 83rd-minute try to secure a 38-all draw with Scotland after the Scots had come from 31-0 down in one of the most remarkable games in Six Nations history. In a contest that will live long in the memory England roared into the lead, showing no signs of disappointment that the title had already been claimed by Wales earlier in the day with their win over Ireland. Gregor Townsend’s men then looked to have snatched their first Twickenham win since 1983 when centre Sam Johnson blasted through four defenders to score in the 76th minute, only for Ford to find a way through under the posts at the death.

Gatland’s third Grand Slam Wales hammered Ireland 25-7 to claim a first Six Nations Grand Slam since 2012, with Gareth Anscombe bagging 20 points in an unexpectedly one-sided clash at the Principality Stadium.

The hotly-anticipated match between the pre-tournament favourites Ireland and form team Wales never looked close, as man of the match Anscombe punished a stream of Irish infringements with his goal kicking in the swirling rain.

Welsh centre Hadleigh Parkes scored his side’s only try after barely 80 seconds had been played,

collecting a deft Anscombe chip, while Ireland’s Jordan Larmour left it until the final minute to bag an opening score that would have been scant consolation.

Between those two tries Wales dominated throughout, leaving the jubilant home crowd chanting the name of their triple Grand Slam-winning New Zealander coach Warren Gatland in his final Six Nations game with the side.

“Anything can happen when you work hard and you’re a proud nation.

“Warren is the man at the top, he’s unwavering and unflappable.

We’re going to miss him when he’s gone,” said Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones.

“It’s hard to put into words,” Anscombe added.

“Obviously we just have a habit of winning. It’s a special group and we work very hard for each other.

“Of course we felt pressure but we wanted to enjoy it.”

Wales, who claimed their Grand Slam without registering a bonus point, built their victory on a stubbornly physical defence and accurate breakdown that let them retain possession through multiple phases of attack.

They went into European rugby’s top competition ranked behind Ireland and a rapidly improving England, but overcame the latter 21-13 on February 23 with a suffocating second-half defensive effort that gave a foretaste of the more thorough battering awaiting Ireland in Cardiff.

Ireland struggled throughout a first half in which they failed to register a single point, unable to sustain any possession and punished with Anscombe kicks for every mistake.

World player of the year and fly-half Johnny Sexton became

increasingly frustrated at Ireland’s error-strewn performance and some of the decisions of Australian referee Angus Gardner. recent years is dipping just as the World Cup approaches.

Ireland captain Rory Best said the poor start had hurt his side, adding: “We just couldn’t get a footing in the game. Our set-piece wasn’t up to the standard we expect.

“We have to go away and address why we lost ... We have been a little bit inconsistent in this Championship... it’s very disappointing.”

Central Coast have made a stunning start to life under former Matildas boss Alen Stajcic, shocking Newcastle 3-2 in a stoppage-time thriller at McDonald Jones Stadium.

The Jets fought back from 3-0 down to have a chance to equalise in injury time on Saturday when Jonathan Aspropotamitis was deemed to have fouled Roy O’Donovan, whose penalty shot was then saved by Ben Kennedy.

Daniel Georgievski scored off the rebound to spark celebrations but VAR then ruled he had encroached into the area early. O’Donovan was given another chance from the spot and Kennedy again made the stop. It was a dramatic end to an amazing comeback from lastplaced Central Coast.

McLaughlin blazing a trail Scott McLaughlin returned to winning ways and Chaz Mostert claimed the Larry Perkins Perpetual Trophy in the final race of the Supercars event at the Australian Grand Prix yesterday.

McLaughlin quickly roared the to the front of the race and wasn’t headed in the short race in Melbourne, beating home Mostert and Jamie Whincup to the podium places.

Mostert’s race five win and consistency across the weekend won him the best overall performer at the meet, made all the more remarkable by the Tickford Racing ace’s battle with the flu.

Mostert described himself as feeling “two out of 10” before the final race.

“I’m just looking forward to getting through this,” he said.

The pole sitter was overtaken from the line by McLaughlin and Whincup before he got past the Triple Eight veteran with the superior pace of his Mustang.

Cam Waters and Will Davison finished fourth and fifth, meaning four of the top five drivers were steering Fords.

Macauley Jones’s high-speed meeting with the wall brought out the safety car and shortened the final race.

Shane van Gisbergen and Fabian Coulthard duelled at the DJR Team Penske man’s expense, with the Holden ace locking up unfortunately to send Coulthard off the track.

Coulthard finished 15th while

the 2016 series champion van Gisbergen slumped to 22nd after a weekend of woe.

McLaughlin dedicated his race win to his team after a bizarre warm-up lap crash with Waters robbed him of the chance to participate in the third race of the meet.

Despite initial anger on both sides at the costly bingle, the pair caught up in the paddock while the race continued and shook hands after a brief chat.

“Eyes forward,” McLaughlin

“

“It shouldn’t really happen, and it cost us a good result which I think we would have had at that race.”

McLaughlin has won every race he’s lined up in and leads the championship standings despite the DNS result on Saturday.

“Whether it’s my fault or not my fault, I’ve apologised to everyone anyway,” Waters said.

month’s meet at Symmons Plains in Tasmania second in the championship with Mostert third.

Meanwhile Craig Lowndes has backed the stewards’ tough approach on Richie Stanaway’s reckless Supercars weekend at the Australian Grand Prix.

Stanaway was disqualified from the series’ fifth race and was served a $10,000 fine for his hunting and shunting of Leigh Holdsworth on Saturday.

The penalty removes Stanaway’s points from his 17th place

finish but lands a heavier reputational hit on the 27-year-old.

Boost Mobile team boss Garry Rogers held the line on his bad boy Kiwi but Lowndes took a dim view of Stanaway’s high-speed overtaking efforts.

“That could have quite easily sent Leigh into a concrete wall and destroyed a Mustang,” Lowndes said on Fox Sports.

“This is not having a go ... this is car destroying.

“Very much on the borderline of dangerous.”

Tickford Racing’s Holdworth called Stanaway, who drove for Tickford last year, an “imbecile” for his unrealistic efforts to move up the order at his expense.

The stewards clearly agreed but Rogers said overtaking was a part of the sport.

Queried whether Stanaway crossed the line, Rogers said he “disagreed”.

“It’s about racing.

“We don’t need processional activities.

“We don’t need a lot of bash and crash either.

“You watch every reasonable move that a pass takes, there’s a slight tap, a bit of movement so you get a crack at it.

“That’s how the racing needs to be.

“You won’t ever pass anybody if you don’t allow that sort of activity to take place.

“People fill those stands, watch the television screens and want to see a race.”

Police arrest fans A number of fans were arrested after pitch invasions marred the Premier League match between Bournemouth and Newcastle as well as Swansea City’s FA Cup quarterfinal at home to Manchester City.

Police arrested seven Newcastle fans, including a 14-year-old boy, on suspicion of invading the field of play during Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Bournemouth. A possible assault on a female steward, who suffered an injury to her nose, is also being investigated.

St Etienne crush Caen Saint-Etienne have moved up to fifth in France’s Ligue 1 after a blistering first-half display helped them on the way to a 5-0 victory at Caen. Romain Hamouma opened the scoring against his former club after just four minutes and he crossed for Robert Beric to turn in a second in the 20th minute. Arnaud Nordin’s first goal of the season made it three on the half hour and gave Les Verts a commanding lead at the break.

McCracken best on court

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Cameron McCracken sealed his first ever Mid Canterbury Tennis Gala Cup men’s A grade singles title in emphatic style yesterday, ending a tense three-setter with an ace.

The 20-year-old from Rangiora went into his first ever Gala Cup as the top seed and although he lived up to it, he didn’t have it all his own way, with a determined young Sam Bubb putting up a fight and a half in what was an entertaining final.

McCracken beat Gareth Evans and Connor Brosnahan on his way to the semi-finals, where he beat former Gala Cup winner Flynn Ness 6-1 6-4, but it was in the other semi-final where the weekend’s biggest talking point was found.

Bubb was the tournament’s fourth seed and the weekend’s surprise package.

After beating Josh Jones and Tyler Leonard on his way to the semi-finals, Bubb pulled off an impressive upset victory over the second seed and nine-time Gala Cup champion Rhys Cromie in the semi-finals, 6-1 6-3, to make the final for the second time.

In 2015 he took on Cromie in the final and lost 6-1 6-0, and he went into this final determined to do better.

McCracken was ready though.

He’d seen the sort of form Bubb was in and said he knew he was in for a battle in what was his first Gala Cup final, in his first season playing tennis in Mid Canterbury.

McCracken travelled to Ashburton, from Rangiora, to play every week.

Both players took to the court with no shortage of determination, but both had a nervous start to the final.

Both dropped their opening service games, but it was Bubb who found his rhythm first.

That first service drop was the only game that Bubb lost in what was a fine first set, but not one to go down without a fight, McCracken came out firing in the second and took it 6-2.

A set apiece, the match went to a deciding third-set super tie-

break, where it was McCracken who picked up where he left off in the second set and raced out to an early 4-0 lead before Bubb managed to get on the board.

At 6-1 down, Bubb faced a huge uphill battle to get himself back into the match, and it became even harder when he committed the cardinal sin of double faulting in a tie-break.

He followed that up with two points on the trot, but the damage had already been done and McCracken took it out 10-4 to

claim the Gala Cup on his first attempt.

While it was his first win, over in the women’s draw it was a different story, with defending champion Tessa McCann taking out her fourth Gala Cup singles title.

With just three players in the field, play was in a round robin format, and both McCann and Ashleigh Leonard beat Jade Brosnahan to set up a decider on Sunday morning.

It was all one way traffic though, with McCann following up her 6-1 6-0 win over Brosnahan with a 6-0 6-0 win over Leonard to seal the deal.

McCann made it a double by pairing up with Larissa Allan to take out the women’s doubles title, which was also a three-way round robin.

The men’s doubles final saw Cromie and Peter Leonard line up in a final against Bubb and Leonard’s son Tyler Leonard.

That went the way of the Cromie/Leonard combination 3-6 6-3 10-7.

Making it a pretty good day for the Bubb family was the fact that Sam’s younger brother Ollie was also featuring in the weekend’s finals.

The second seed took on top seed Jake Parsons in the A reserve men’s singles final and won in a third set super tie-break 10-6.

The men’s A reserve doubles was won by Ollie Bubb and Ryan Watt, who won all three of their round robin games.

In the A reserve women’s singles it was a straight final, with only two entries received, and that was played on Friday night with Ilapaula Cabalse beating Grace Austin 6-1 6-1.

Fittler pushes O’Sullivan Brad Fittler has questioned whether Brisbane halves Anthony Milford and Kodi Nikorima are capable of taking the Broncos to the next level, urging the NRL club to consider Sean O’Sullivan.

Fittler accused the oft-criticised pairing of Milford and Nikorima of at times going missing in the NRL season-opening loss to Melbourne.

“Between the both of them they don’t have that composure,” Fittler said. He said Sydney Roosters youngster O’Sullivan, 20, possessed the cool head under pressure and game management that the more-experienced pair lacked, and said Broncos coach Anthony Seibold should consider drafting him into their 17.

Taumalolo inspired He broke his own run metres record, busted six tackles and set up the match sealing four pointer in round one, but North Queensland lock Jason Taumalolo still isn’t content.

The former Dally M Medal winner was magnificent in the Cowboys’ 24-12 win over St George Illawarra in Townsville on Saturday but played down the significance of his round one display. “I wouldn’t say it’s a statement it’s still round one, I got a bit lucky there but it would have been nice to score a try,” Taumalolo said.

Surgery for Frizell St George Illawarra forward Tyson Frizell has undergone surgery on his testicles after copping an accidental blow to the groin in Saturday’s loss to North Queensland.

Frizell reeled out of an attempted tackle on fullback Jordan Kahu and follow up scans resulted in the Origin star going under the knife.

He took to Instagram yesterday, alongside a picture of him in a hospital bed with his son, to say: “Not an ideal start to the season but so grateful to have you (wife Sammy) and the little man by my side to put a smile on my face.”

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Bulldogs brutalised as Warriors make a flyer So far, so good for the Warriors.

On a day when an NRL match seemed almost trivial – after the horrific events in Christchurch on Friday – the Warriors at least gave the nation something to celebrate, from a sporting point of view.

Their 40-6 win over the Bulldogs was as clinical as the scoreline suggests, with the game effectively over as a contest at halftime.

It was the biggest opening day victory in the club’s history, eclipsing a 16-point win over the Eels in 2007.

The Warriors were good, very good.

They ran hard and straight, with purpose, and gradually wore down the opposition.

The forwards, as promised, look a bigger and stronger unit than last season, with Bunty Afoa and Leeson Ah Mau particular standouts, while Sam Lisone is a changed man from last season.

Ken Maumalo had a storming game, creating some richter-scale

level collisions, while Blake Green marshalled the troops effectively and had a hand in almost every try. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck made an impeccable start to his season, and showed he will be a threat on the right flank.

The surprise packet was rookie half Adam Keighran; in his first NRL game, and stepping into the not inconsiderable shoes of Shaun Johnson, the 21-year-old enjoyed a memorable debut.

He kicked brilliantly, defended solidly, made a couple of breaks, came up with a try assist and scored a neat solo touchdown.

Of course all the praise for the Warriors must be tempered by the level of the opposition, who were pretty awful.

The Bulldogs were a rabble after the first 15 minutes, especially on defence, as they lacked both commitment and organisation.

But any such margin in an NRL match is well earned, and the Warriors brutalised their opposition.

The Warriors observe a moments silence for the shooting victims.

They opened the scoring with what might become a familiar sight this season. After Agnatius Paasi had gone close, a precise cross field kick from Green saw Maumalo just ground the ball in the corner.

It was a similar recipe for the next try, with Fusitu’a leaping to provide an assist for new centre partner Solomone Kata in the 21st minute.

The Bulldogs seemed to deteriorate across the half, and they caved again for Keighran to extend the Warriors advantage eight minutes later. It was well taken by the debutant, which evaded one tackler then dummied past another, but the defence was hardly first grade standard.

Still, it was a wonderful moment for the 21-year-old, whose smile mixed jubilation and disbelief, as

he threw the ball high in the air to celebrate.

The fourth try was the best of the half. A quick blindside raid stretched the Bulldogs, with Kata showing strength and skill to release Fusitu’a. The winger then demonstrated great awareness, slowing down to take the tackle and find Nathaniel Roache, who finished under the posts.

The Warriors kept up their standards in the second half, which will please coach Stephen Kearney.

Keighran found open pasture but couldn’t see Tuivasa-Sheck bursting through on his inside, but on the next set the fullback swerved and stepped his way over, after a switch of play from Green.

The Bulldogs found a try in the 54th minute, sweeping the length of the field before Christian Crichton finished in the left hand corner.

But that was as good as it got for the Sydney club.

In brief Espresso runs hot Promising three-year-old Espresso Martini resumed from a brief break in fine fashion when she dealt to her older rivals over 1400m at Tauranga on Saturday. The royallybred High Chaparral filly hadn’t been seen since finishing down the track in the Gr.1 Levin Classic (1600m) at Trentham back in January. That unplaced run came off the back of a tidy effort for fifth in the Gr.2 Eight Carat Classic (1600m) at Ellerslie on Boxing Day following a win at the same venue in the Listed Trevor Eagle Memorial 3YO (1500m) earlier in December.

Sentimental Miss leads home a $35,826 trifecta in the Al Bastie NZ Oaks at Trentham on Saturday.

■ TRENTHAM

Ladies combine in Oaks Girl power was to the fore at Trentham on Saturday as trainer Lisa Latta and jockey Lisa Allpress fittingly joined forces as $21 outsider Sentimental Miss landed the prestigious Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai NZ Oaks (2400m).

Latta said the addition of blinkers was the key to extracting the best out of the daughter of Reliable Man, who is raced by the Go Racing Yesteryear Syndicate.

“It’s absolutely fantastic,” Latta said.

“We walked away from the Lowland wondering whether we should press on or not, but we decided to put the blinkers on today and I think that has made a huge difference.

“When she came through on the inside I thought she’d do well if she could run third or fourth.

“But she is bred to stay and it’s fantastic.

“She is a very easy filly and that’s why putting the blinkers on today didn’t really worry us.”

The attractive grey filly made use of her inside draw (barrier 2), with Lisa Allpress finding a spot three-back on the fence.

“I was quite confident,” Allpress said.

“We were just getting a lovely run, she was very relaxed and first time in blinkers.

“I was conscious of Murray Baker’s horses (Rubira and Queen Of Diamonds) in front of me and they started dragging me

into the run but they were under the bat.

“I thought I need to be a bit more patient but when it got to the top of the straight patience went out the window but she just kept fighting.”

The win was the sixth at Group One level for Allpress and provided another elite level success for Albert Bosma’s Go Racing syndications.

“It’s a great training performance,” Bosma said.

“She is such a laid-back filly that we had no doubt about the ground and that she’d stay.

“It’s funny, she was the last horse we syndicated in her year.

“It took us ages to get her done and now it’s a great result. She’s a

very good staying filly and there is lots more in front of her.

“It is the ultimate, it’s the top level and this is what we do it for.”

A $40,000 graduate of The Oaks Stud’s draft at the 2017 New Zealand Bloodstock Select Yearling Sale, Sentimental Miss becomes the first Group One winner for young Westbury Stud sire Reliable Man. Sentimental Miss prevailed by a length and a quarter from the Bill Thurlow-trained Beyond The Fort, while third placegetter Star Karen was brave after covering ground throughout.

Inside barriers played a key role with three of the first four runners home drawn in barriers one, two and three.

Speed machine Bolt From The Blue was back to his front-running best when he showed his three-yearold rivals a clean pair of heels at Tauranga on Saturday. The Tony Pike-trained galloper had indicated his readiness to resume from a four-month break over the summer months with a hollow victory over 1000m at the Avondale trials in late February. Hunted to the lead by rider Vinnie Colgan, Bolt From The Blue had his six rivals in trouble a long way from home.

Colgan let the brakes go early in the run home and the stylish chestnut dashed away to win untouched by five and a half lengths in a smart 1.10.01 on a Dead5 rated surface.

- NZME

Equinox back to best Reminiscent of his impressive debut, two-year-old colt Equinox once again showed his liking for the Trentham track with a hardfought victory at the venue on Saturday. A $750,000 purchase

by Te Akau Racing boss David Ellis at the 2018 National Yearling Sale, Equinox was not comfortable on slow ground in the Group 3 Waikato Stud Slipper (1200m) last time out at Matamata, after making a winning debut over 1000m at Trentham in January.

Replacement rider Michael McNab, who secured the mount when Troy Harris was stood down after being dislodged a day earlier at Te Aroha, bounced Equinox away quickly to dictate the play from in front. Asked for a serious effort, Equinox extended his advantage right to the line.

Miss consistent adds more black type Speedy mare Volks Lightning was rewarded for consistency and good attendance when she landed the Listed gavelhouse.com Lightning Handicap (1200m) at Trentham on Saturday.

The Team Rogerson-trained mare has been around the mark in a host of stakes races and added a Listed victory to an earlier Group Three success to ensure her residual value is maximised.

Ridden perfectly by apprentice Ryan Elliot (right), Volks Lightning stalked stablemate Ferrando throughout and was produced centre-track to narrowly defeat Princess Kereru with Ferrando close-up in third.

“She deserved this. She has been miss consistent all the way through,” Bailey Rogerson said.

“She has been a constant in these Group and Listed races and it was good for her to get the win today.

“I think the owners are looking to head to the Gold Coast (Broodmare) Sale this year, so now that they have picked up that Listed win it looks good on the page and she is very valuable.”

Raced by the Vermair Volks Lightning Syndicate headed by cricketing legend Brendon McCullum, Volks Lightning boasts a Group One placing in the Railway (1200m) and has won six of 34 starts, with a further ten placings.

Rogerson was also pleased with the effort of five-year-old entire Ferrando.

“It was a very good run,” she said.

“He will head to the paddock now

for a good spell and come back next season.”

Winning rider Ryan Elliot said the six-year-old mare proved effective with the blinkers on.

“She’s been scratching for one all season and it is really well deserved to get this win,” Elliot said.

“Normally she can get a little bit fiery over the first 600m, but with blinkers on she was actually a little bit quieter.

“You just have to hold her up as long as you can and she was actually quite electric with the blinkers.”

The win was the second on the card for Team Rogerson after four-year-old gelding Comeback made it successive wins with victory in the opening event of the day.

■ PROBABEEL

Kiwi filly on target for Sires Exciting New Zealand two-yearold Probabeel is still on target for the Group 1 Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) at Randwick next month after she finished a commendable sixth at her Australian debut on the weekend.

The Savabeel filly was all at sea in the heavy underfoot conditions in the Group 3 Magic Night Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill where she maintained a solid finish in the home straight after being near last for most of the contest.

Trainer Jamie Richards was confident that his charge would take plenty of benefit from the run, her first since winning the Karaka Million 2YO (1200m) at Ellerslie in late January.

“The track at Rosehill was very deep and testing and she really didn’t handle it all that well,” he said.

“She dipped and dived a fair bit early and then had to make a long, sustained run to get near them, which is never easy at that track.

“I thought she kept coming nicely and I know she will be better for the run, her first for about six or seven weeks.

“I guess when you see a six in her form-line it doesn’t look that great, but given the circumstances, I think it was a satisfactory effort.

“She has come through the run nicely, so it is all go for the Sires’ Produce in three weeks.” - NZME

Sagwitch (Mark Hurrell) gets home in the Wyndham Cup in front of stablemate Santanna’s Rocket (Brent Barclay).

■ WYNDHAM

Breen provides Cup quinella Sagwitch helped continue trainer Syd Breen’s brilliant season and booked himself a trip to Alexandra Park when winning the Wyndham Cup on Saturday.

The five-year-old produced a sweeping finish from last at the 800m to run past his stablemate Santanna’s Rocket and hand Breen the quinella in the 3200m feature.

Breen, who is enjoying his best season as a trainer, was still coming to terms with what his pacers had produced in the moments after the race.

“I got a bit choked up there before, just looking at some of the horses names on the trophy.”

“It was unreal, it was unbelievable.”

“It has got to be the top of the

M3

list, especially the Wyndham Cup.” After showing patchy form last season and at the beginning of this season, Sagwitch has hit his peak recently.

Breen puts that down to the horse maturing and being a happy and healthy animal.

“It has been a long slow road with him.”

“He is just so happy, just a bit of maturity has really helped him.”

“He is copping the racing now and he is copping distances now.”

“This is a horse that a mile and a half (2400m) was as far as he could go and he has just gone out and run four minutes over two miles (3200m).”

Sagwitch stopped the clock in

4.00.9 for driver Mark Hurrell.

Breen said he went in to Saturday’s feature with confidence after Sagwitch worked sensationally leading in to the race.

“His work on Tuesday was amazing, horses just don’t work that good, and then Santanna’s Rocket went out and worked just about as good.”

Sagwitch’s victory means he has the Southern Country Cup series sewn up, barring a major surprise.

Breen has a long-range goal in mind for Sagwitch, that will see him follow in his big brother’s footsteps.

Sagwitch’s half-brother, Washakie, raced in five Inter Dominion series from 2009-2013.

Breen hopes to have his horse

■ SQUASH

TRADES, SERVICES

Coll grabs title World No.7 Paul Coll has become the first New Zealander to get his hands on the Citigold Wealth Management Canary Wharf Classic trophy after he overcame Egypt’s Tarek Momen by a 3-0 scoreline in their final fixture at London’s spectacular East Wintergarden.

Both players were appearing in their second successive PSA Tour finals, with Coll falling to Peru’s Diego Elias in the Troilus Canada Cup last week, while Momen went down to World No.1 Ali Farag in the title decider at the PSA World Championships in Chicago a fortnight ago.

A best-of-three games format was used up to and including the quarter-finals in Canary Wharf, with scoring reverting to best of five for the semis and final – and Coll hadn’t dropped a game all tournament.

Momen, meanwhile, lost in the 2018 final and was looking to match wife Raneem El Welily after she won the CIB Black Ball Open title.

The 26-year-old Kiwi was sublime in the final as he attacked with accuracy into the front of the court and hit a flawless length game to edge the first two games.

The third game was all Coll though as Momen struggled with his movement, and the man from Greymouth closed out an 11-8, 12-10, 11-3 victory in 64 minutes to capture the 13th PSA Tour title of his career.

The win sees Coll win his first PSA Tour event since December 2016, when he beat Momen in the final of the Channel VAS Championships at St George’s Hill.

“It is such a prestigious tournament, there are such phenomenal names on the trophy and to be a part of that is something special,” said Coll afterwards.

“I have played this tournament three times, and I feel like I have played well every year. I love coming here, it is such a well organised event.

“The atmosphere is amazing, it is packed out every round and I love that.

ADULT ENTERTAINMENT

Paul Coll celebrates victory.

“I have been trying to make some improvements for a while now, and I really felt them come into my game in the World Championships.

“I felt quite strong on court.

“In Toronto, I just lost out in the final and that really hurt me.

“I was confident in my squash and as long as I could get my head right this week, I was confident.

“I am really happy with the squash, and also [happy] to stay strong mentally for the entire event.”

Coll also had a message for people affected by the recent tragic events in Christchurch and dedicated his win to them.

He said: “To everyone back home in Christchurch, stay strong.

“It is a horrible thing that has happened to New Zealand and that was for you, and for everyone in Christchurch tonight. Stay strong guys.”

Coll takes home $17,500 in prize money and his next tournament will be the DPD Open in Eindhoven, which takes place between April 9-14, 2019.

Ashburton Guardian 29

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The mystery will find you. It won’t say, “Hey, over here, solve me!” But it will pique your interest enough to start the chain of questions. There’s nothing so satisfying today as a satisfied curiosity.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): When you’re moving fast, it’s easy to forget to put things back where they belong. The clutter builds. The organisation diminishes. Time is wasted looking for things. Simple solution: Slow down!

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): People reach out for various reasons, hardly ever the ones presented.

Look deeper for the need within. This is what comes with being born a complex creature – although who knows the woes of algae?

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): There’s a difference between dominance and superiority. Those who understand this will not take their power for granted. They will realise that power is always a cycle and act accordingly.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): It’s a kind of “dark matter” situation today. There’s no evidence that the thing exists, but there’s something affecting you, and you’ll have plenty of theories about this contributing factor to your current reality.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You can’t improve a thing from the same mindset from which you created it.

You have to grow beyond it to see how you could possibly next-level it.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The heart wants what the heart wants. That doesn’t make it healthy, appropriate, logical or good for everyone involved. Hearts aren’t all wisdom. It’s better when all systems work together.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Carry out your promises to yourself. These are the hardest promises to keep, because often they’re made in secret and the accountability can be shifty, but they’re also the most important promises to keep.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The way to get out of a funk is simple (spiritual generosity), but it’s something that people in a funk don’t think about. That’s why you should keep instructions and answers on hand for when you need them.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Calm confidence is your usual manner, but things today will throw you off your game. Speak gentle words, but speak them with your signature authority.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): It is nearly impossible to have polite conversation these days, even the weather can be polarising. Decide to connect with others, making tolerance your fallback position, and you’ll do the impossible.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You don’t need to give a TED Talk to prove your relevance. You’ll exert yourself wordlessly, influencing through example, becoming the person others will want to be like.

LEONARD, Vincent Hauata – Passed on Saturday March 16, 2019 at around 2.25am at Christchurch Hospital, after suffering a major stroke on Wednesday evening. He passed in the arms of his beautiful, dedicated wife, Brenda, his loyal son, SullivanJohn and his kind daughter, Jazzlyn.

Mystics’ disastrous season continues The Northern Mystics just can’t seem to get things right.

Suffering yet another loss in the ANZ Premiership, the Auckland franchise remain winless for what has so far been a disastrous 2019 campaign.

Up against the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic, the Mystics went down 42-34 at Auckland’s North Shore Events Centre – a result captain Phoenix Karaka described as frustrating.

“We’re working really hard as a defensive unit but it takes the whole team to get ball and it is disheartening when it doesn’t get finished,” she said.

“It’s pretty stink to be quite brutal, but we know that we’re doing it to ourselves and it’s only things that we can fix within the camp.”

Off the back of an embarrassing 20-goal loss to the Southern Steel, the Magic’s attacking unit knew they had plenty to prove to

their captain Casey Kopua, especially with the veteran having announced her upcoming retirement earlier this week.

Magic shooters Abigail Latu-Meafou and Monica Falkner were accurate under the hoop despite facing an all-star Mystics defensive line-up led by Karaka.

Mystics shooters Jamie Hume and Bailey Mes crumbled under the pressure of Kopua and Ferns defender Kelly Jury in the circle,

with poor shooting performances letting the home side down at critical moments.

A shocking 40 per cent shooting performance early in the clash saw Hume called to the bench minutes before halftime, and 17-year-old Grace Nweke took centre stage as the Mystics closed the second quarter having scored just five goals – their lowest quarter score in Premiership history.

The Mystics finally started to

chip away at the scoreboard and show some direction across the court.
