District councillors announce Last local body election the Ashburton District voted in a new mayor and a team of councillors that included seven new faces among its 12.

Three years down the track the district will be looking at a very different line-up around the council table. Numbers will be cut from 12 to nine and four sitting councillors have stated they will not be seeking reelection. Reporter Sue Newman looks at who’s standing, who’s not and how the early run in to this year’s election is shaping.

ominations open for this year’s local body elections in two months and early indications are that there will be a raft of new faces around the council table come October.

This election will usher in a new era for the Ashburton District Council as it is the first with reduced councillor numbers. A midterm review saw councillors and Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel vote to reduce their number from 12 councillors to nine.

Up for grabs in October will be five seats in the urban ward and two each in the eastern and west-

ern wards.

Three councillors have signalled they’re calling time on their council careers and one is retiring as a district councillor but keeping his options open on other opportunities. Added to the mix are the people as yet unknown in the community who may choose 2019 to start their local government careers.

Several names are already being debated as candidates, but no-one is yet showing their hand.

Western ward councillor Peter Reveley is stepping down after 13 years around the council table.

He was first elected in 2004, was re-elected in 2007 and 2010 but resigned mid-term. He then successfully re-stood in 2013 and 2016.

One-term councillor Mark Malcolm is not seeking re-election in the eastern ward and two-term councillor Alasdair Urquhart is believed to not be seeking re-election in the urban ward, but was unable to be contacted.

Neil Brown will have served five terms as a district councillor in October and said he won’t be there as a district councillor in the next term of council. He’s remaining tightlipped on whether his local

body career is over or whether he may look at other options.

Brown was elected to the eastern ward in 2004, 2007, 2010 and 2013, but at the 2016 election opted to stand for the urban ward. He is currently deputy mayor and for several terms served as chairman of the council’s finance and business services committee.

If the remaining sitting councillors all seek re-election, there will be six people chasing five urban seats with an, as yet, unknown number of first-time challengers.

There will be just one sitting councillor remaining in the western

He is seeking re-election as a councillor for the urban ward, but he is also chasing the mayoralty.

While he was elected as an urban councillor, Braam said his view was that council business was across the whole community.

Thelma Bell is a first-term councillor and said she was leaning towards seeking a second term as an urban ward councillor.

“I’m asking people, ‘what do you think?’. I am talking to people about the election to gauge reactions. I’ll make my decision soon,” Bell said.

ward and two in the eastern ward.

Diane Rawlinson is completing her first term as a councillor for the urban ward and is committed to seeking re-election.

“I’m positive about what I’m doing and there is too much going on not to see things through,” she said.

There was a lot to learn for a first-time councillor, Rawlinson said, but the experience had been both challenging and enjoyable.

Leen Braam is also a first-term councillor and said he is committed to seeking another term around the council table.

first term as a councillor and the opportunities it had provided.

Russell Ellis has served two terms as an urban councillor and in his first he also stood for the mayoralty. He is undecided about his local body future.

“I do know that within the next four or five weeks I have to decide.

I’ve got a lot to work through before I make a decision,” he said.

Selwyn Price said his family was supportive of him standing for council again, but he is talking to a range of people before making a final decision.

He’s concerned that if council-

lors get in campaign mode too far out from the election, the momentum of council business could suffer.

His decision won’t be rushed and he intends to make his intentions known by mid-July.

Stuart Wilson said he couldn’t see any reasons not to stand again for council. He’s been an eastern ward councillor since 2010 and said he felt privileged to be part of a team responsible for making decisions for the community.

He is unsure, however, whether he will stand as an eastern ward or urban councillor.

Liz McMillan is committed to seeking a second term as a western ward councillor. She was elected after serving several terms as a member of the Methven Community Board.

She said that over the past three years she had learned a lot about the district and the way council operated, and that the work involved as a councillor should not be under-estimated.

Lynette Lovett is a first-term councillor for the eastern ward.

She was unavailable to comment on whether she intended to seek re-election.

Wheels Week to end in style

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

Following another busy fortnight of events focused on all things wheels and transport, Wheels Week is set to wrap up for another year.

The main attraction of the weekend is set to be the Wheels Week parade, which begins on East Street at 10.30am on Sunday.

Organiser Carol Johns said she expected this year’s edition to be huge.

“In previous years they had stopped a lot of motorbikes and pushbikes but this year we are bringing them back,” she said.

“So we now have two junior rippa rugby teams that have entered, carriages, and oversized trucks with machinery on the back, we have everything down to mobility scooters as well.”

Johns said it was tough to estimate just how many vehicles would be turning up on the day, with groups registering as single group, but she estimates it to be huge.

“The vintage car club have one registration but they could show up with 20 cars and there are sure to be entries on the day as well,” she said.

The road will be closed from 9.30am onwards, with the parade beginning at 10.30am.

In the afternoon, a range of classic boats will be on display at Lake Hood.

Boats will be on and off the water from 12.30pm till 3.30pm, and some entrants in the parade will also be displaying their vehicles.

Biotechnology, rather than culling dairy cows, is one of the tools that could be used to reduce methane emissions, says Mid Canterbury’s elected Environment Canterbury councillor John Sunckell.

Sunckell was one of two councillors to vote against ECan declaring a climate emergency this week. The declaration is symbolic but highlights the regional council’s work and need to respond to climate change.

Sunckell said he acknowledged climate change and the need for urgency, but did not agree with

The Wheels Week parade traditionally attracts a wide range of vehicles to wow the crowd.

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN cle Club will be hosting a motorcycle tour around the district, one of several motorcycle events this year.

The tour will leave from outside Robert Harris in Ashburton before travelling to Peel Forest, before returning to Ashburton through Mayfield, Mt Somers and the foothills, said club president Shane Christie.

“There will be people of all riding abilities

and from all walks of life,” he said.

“We have guys who are racing every weekend and ones that have only just learned to ride.

“Everyone is welcome, and if you show up we will help you along the way.”

Anyone looking to take part in the event is asked to meet at outside Robert Harris at 9.30am for a 10am departure.

Biotech should be climate change tool

By Linda Clarke

In brief

Extinction Rebellion, the group that asked ECan to declare the emergency, in that reducing cow numbers was the answer.

Cutting cow numbers was not an option toward reducing methane and biological gas emissions to meet Government targets, he said.

“Back in the early 1980s, New Zealand had 80 million sheep and 8.5 million cattle. Now there are 27 million sheep and 10 million cattle, all ruminant animals.

Since the early ‘80s to today, we have had a net loss in ruminant animals but not a net loss in emissions.”

Sunckell said emissions need-

ed to reduce without impacting rural communities, and biotechnology was a tool.

Agresearch is currently trialling in the United States a genetically-modified ryegrass that needs less water to grow and has been shown to reduce methane emissions.

Yet farmers are not allowed to plant the grass here, because of New Zealand’s laws against genetically-modified organisms.

“If we want to move to a plantbased diet we need to use this technology to take us forward,” Sunckell said.

“There are options rather than just shooting cows to get rid of

methane. Good governance is about looking at all the options. I accept the debate we are having but it is about exploring all the options to mitigate and achieve our outcomes.”

Cr Clare McKay and Sunckell were the only two to vote against the declaration, McKay saying it was a hollow gesture.

Cr Lan Pham, who proposed the declaration motion, and said it was not aimed at one aspect of society.

“We are finding in New Zealand everyone has recognised that the issues are so much broader than shooting cows.

That is a really narrow view.”

■■ OBITUARY

Arnold Rushton 16-10-1930 – 19-04-2019

W

hen Arnold Rushton died, the Ashburton District lost a man who had been a quiet, but signficant contributor to life in a district he loved over many years and many organisations.

Arnold left his mark on the district’s governance through his 21 years service as a county and then district councillor and on welfare in the district through his dedication and service to St Vincent de Paul.

He was also actively involved in Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers and in his Mayfield community as a member of the district’s Lions Club, and golf and rugby clubs and the Anama School committee.

He was, above all, a man who was cherished by his family and by his wife of 67 years, Elaine. His family describe him as a man with a huge soul which he openly and unselfishly shared with many, a man who enriched many lives and became a role model for his family.

Arnold was born on October 16, 1930 and was one of six children of Arthur and Veronica Rushton, who moved to Anama in 1931.

He was schooled at Anama and then St Bede’s, wrapping up his education to return home to the family farm.

Farming was very definitely in Arnold’s blood and he farmed the family estate after his father’s death when Arnold was just 21. Over the years he became a successful cropping farmer, purchasing several blocks of land which he variously farmed with brother Dick and with his sons Michael and Gerard.

Arnold and Elaine moved into Ashburton in 1996 and while he may have wrapped up his active involvement in farming, the shift to town did nothing to slow down his community work.

He gave 21 years of his life to serve his community as a county and then district councillor.

Arnold was elected to the county council in October 1977 and remained involved in local government as the borough and county councils amalgamated in 1989.

He was re-elected as a district councillor, becoming deputy mayor in 1995 in what would be his last year around the council table.

One of his significant achievements while a councillor was as council repre-

Enter to win a BERNINA B335

sentative he helped negotiate the sale of the Rangitata Diversion Race (RDR) to the community for $1.

When he retired from council in 1998, Arnold said it was time to make way for new and younger blood. He believed the position of councillor should be filled by a person who was working rather than someone who was retired. He had finished farming two years earlier.

On his retirement he said that the privilege of being able to serve as a councillor meant running the farm had to become a team effort for Elaine and sons Michael and Gerard.

Within his farming community Arnold was a member of the Mayfield Young Farmers, serving his time as the club’s president and was an active member of Federated Farmers for all of his farming career. He chaired the meat and wool section for two years and frequently travelled to Wellington for national meetings.

A large slice of Arnold’s retirement years was spent working with St Vincent de Paul.

He and Elaine were both staunch supporters and active members of the charity and Arnold was its chairman from 2005-2008.

He was heavily involved in the planning, design and construction of the organisation’s new premises in Ashburton’s Triangle.

The Mayfield Golf Club saw plenty of Arnold’s time in later years and during his presidentship the club planned and built a new clubhouse without debt or bank loans. He was patron of the club from 2014.

In earlier years Arnold was actively involved in the Mayfield, Celtic and Mt Somers rugby clubs as a player and later as a supporter, club president and JAB delegate to the Mid Canterbury rugby union.

He was also an active member of the Mayfield and District Lions from 1984.

Arnold’s community involvement and contribution was significant and underlying everything he did was his strong Catholic faith. It was always his priority and life focus alongside the needs of his family. He may have been a busy man in

his community but he was above all else a devoted family man.

He is survived by his wife Elaine, his children Marie, Pauline, Michael and Gerard, his 10 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.

Taking ownership of their education future

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

Students from the Opuke Kahui Ako have had the chance to come together and discuss the future of their education.

Kahui Ako, or Community of Learning, covers nine schools – Dorie, Rakaia, Chertsey, Lauriston, Methven Primary, Our Lady of the Snows, Mt Hutt College, Mt Somers/Springburn School and Mayfield Primary School.

The students came together for their third hui at Mount Hutt College on Tuesday and the lead teacher across the schools Rosie Robinson said she was impressed with the quality of discussion had by the students.

“It is very important to get the students’ input because we do it for the students,” she said.

Robinson said being able to triangulate the thoughts of the key stakeholders in CoL was important and that the next step was to develop a plan going forward.

Throughout the the process, they have gained voices from the more than 100 teachers involved, board of trustees members and now the voice of the students to help the process of re-designing the community’s achievement challenges.

The Community of Learning

is now in its third year and Robinson said she has been pleased with the network it had grown between the schools.

“We have been running teacher-only afternoons and we come

together for PD (personal development), and the relationships that have been built are great,” she said.

Robinson said the huis are also great for giving students a sense

of value within the community.

“These days are really beneficial,” she said. “The students see the value and they want to step up and be leaders and take ownership of their education.”

iz Bell used to be “that girl” on the sideline at rugby.

She was the vocal one at Mt Somers senior B games cheering her beloved club on and while some referees may not have known her by name, chances were they knew who she was.

But now they definitely knew her by name, because Bell – a busy mum of four – has decided to join them and she is loving it.

“One of my mentors who knows me very, very well from being ‘that’ sideline person goes ‘I have heard you many a time on the sideline and you can be passionate, but you’ve got to put the passion in the right way’,” Bell said.

That person was right. She is passionate, she loves the game, and, just a few short weeks in, she is loving being a referee.

Bell is one of five new referees who was welcomed into Mid Canterbury Rugby’s refereeing ranks this season and one of two women to have taken on the challenge, along with Linda Kelsall, a 21-yearold who came to New Zealand from Samoa last year.

The two women officially started their careers at the JAB sevens tournament a few weeks ago and since then have been controlling agegroup rugby games and running touch at senior B level.

For Bell, it meant Saturdays were a real juggling act between her and partner Hayden Reveley. Two of their daughters were playing rugby, so she had to try and work out how she could referee, watch her kids and still be sideline to watch her Mt

Rugby referees are in short supply these days, so local referees’ boss Graham Shaw was over the moon when five newbies put their hands up this season. Even better was the fact that two of them were women. Erin Tasker reports.

Somers senior Bs in action.

But it was what she wants to do and she is determined to make it work.

“It’s my time. I’ve been following Hayden for goodness knows how many years on the sideline, probably about 13 years, and I thought ‘you’ve had your time’,” she said.

Bell was also the bar girl at the Mt Somers Rugby Club and it was during a post-game debrief following a game late last season that the ball really started rolling.

“One of the boys turned around and said to me, ‘Liz, I reckon you’d make a bloody good ref’.”

It got her thinking, and when pre-season rolled around, Bell was ready.

She already had a pretty good knowledge of the game and had received great support from the Mt Somers club.

She said the best advice she’d received so far was to be cool, calm, collected, and stop and think when you blew the whistle to ensure you were clear in your mind as to why you’d blown the whistle.

Both Kelsall and Bell had played rugby before. Bell - who at six-foot two-inches tall was not surprisingly a lock - played during her univer-

sity days at Lincoln, while Kelsall played for a few years while still living in her native Samoa.

Kelsall, 21, came to New Zealand last year only planning to stay for a visit, but she’d loved it and is now planning on making New Zealand her home.

With a background of basketball refereeing and a good rugby knowledge from her playing days, she decided to give rugby refereeing a go.

“I’m pretty much confident with holding a whistle, so when I got here and I couldn’t find any way to get involved with basketball in New Zealand I decided to continue with my rugby

career, and since I’m not playing, I’m refereeing,” Kelsall said.

She’d decided that officiating was for her, more than playing.

“If I play I might get injured and not be able to continue with my refereeing,”

she said.

She has big dreams, with her eyes set on one day refereeing senior rugby, and she isn’t at all worried about taking to the field with the big boys.

“I’m pretty confident with that.

As long as I do my job, the right way, I’m not really worried about anything,” Kelsall said.

Bell was the same.

“I want to build myself up to that point where, in three years’ time, I want to be that girl that’s out there doing the big boys’ games. That’s my goal, that’s where I want to be,” Bell said.

Rugby had always been a part of Bell’s life.

“I was brought up in a home where you watched rugby, there was no discussion about it, you watched rugby and that’s what you did on a Saturday, and I loved watching it,” Bell said.

Her time as a player, though, was short-lived, with injury bringing playing to a premature end.

One day she went into a tackle with her body in the wrong position and dislocated a vertebrae in her neck. That was the end of that.

For both women, refereeing allows them to be actively involved in the game they both love and while they knew it wouldn’t always be easy, they were ready.

“One thing that I have learnt so far is that regardless of which way it goes, you’re always wrong,” Bell said.

She said you needed a thick skin to be a rugby referee, because players, and spectators, were quick

to let you know when you’d stuffed up.

She knew that in her first few weeks she’d missed a couple of forward passes and she was the first to admit it.

She was still learning and from every mistake and be better for it.

“I can see why people don’t do it, because you’re always the bad guy and you have to have a thick skin, but I also need to be able to learn from any mistakes.”

Mid Canterbury Rugby referees’ boss Graham Shaw said his referee stocks had taken a hit this season, with two premier referees moving out of the district, so to have five new people put their hands up to become referees at the start of the season was great.

“For Mid Canterbury, that’s unbelievable,” he said.

He was hopeful more might follow the lead of Bell, Kelsall and fellow new referees George Williams, former Hampstead player Moon Tuilaepa and former Methven player Jeremy Robinson.

“You can never have too many of them.”

Bell hoped that more women might follow her and Kelsall’s lead and become referees.

“I think every woman should have their thing and there’s so many more out there who could be doing it, and could, if they just pushed themselves.”

And when it came to the question of what players were to call her on the field, Bell was clear.

“It’s miss, or ref, and if they really upset me I say, ‘right, it’s sir’.”

■■MIDDLE EAST

Crisis? Or circus?

The drums of war are sounding across the Middle East, driven by the Trump administration as well as by disputed attacks on Saudi Arabian tankers and an oil pipeline.

But Rohile Gharaibeh, a prominent Jordanian politician and newspaper columnist, has watched it all with a mixture of disdain and weary exasperation.

“A circus,” Gharaibeh said in a phone interview, describing recent events as little more than a spectacle with multiple foreign actors on the stage.

“It’s no more than shenanigans to apply more pressure on Iran.”

As the Trump administration squares up against Iran, with what many see as alarming echoes of the buildup to the Iraq War in 2003, people across the Arab world are trying to figure out how worried they should be. In interviews, writers, businessmen and exiles expressed fear of a potentially dire war between the United States and Iran that for many has been brewing since the 1979 embassy siege in Tehran.

But they have also grown accustomed to an American president who often favours bluster over diplomacy as a tool of negotiation, yet ultimately backs down.

“If we were to believe everything Trump has said for the past three years, there would have been war with China, North Korea and Mexico,” said Joseph Fahim, an Egyptian film critic.

“The guy’s a joke, he’s not serious.

“We don’t know if these threats are something to believe in, or just another of his many stunts.”

In Lebanon, Rami G. Khouri, an academic at the American University in Beirut, spoke from his apartment terrace, which looks out over the Mediterranean.

“I’m watching for American missiles to come over the horizon,” he said wryly.

A surprise new Batman Former Twilight star Robert Pattinson is in negotiations to play Batman in the latest installation of the superhero franchise, according to US reports.

Variety broke the news Pattinson, who became a teen heart-throb playing vampire Edward Cullen, is the top choice to play the Caped Crusader. Pattinson is expected to “close shortly” a deal to star in the untitled Matt Reeves-directed Batman movie, which is slated for release on June 25, 2021.

Six people were reported killed in the airstrikes yesterday.

In the Qatari capital of Doha, a businessman, Farhad Sayed, had just finished suhoor, his last meal before starting the daily Ramadan fast at dawn.

“This may lead to something small,” he said sarcastically.

Yet, beneath the jokes and scepticism lie a festering worry that the escalating showdown could prove the exception to the rule, the moment when President Donald Trump’s tactics accidentally tip the United States – and the Middle East – into an unwanted war.

“Could it escalate, turn into something full-blown?” said Fahim.

“Maybe.”

Those tensions are already being felt in parts of the Arabian Peninsula. Early yesterday, huge explosions rocked

the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, as warplanes from the Saudi-led coalition carried out a wave of airstrikes against targets linked to the Iranian-aligned Houthi rebels who control most of northern Yemen.

The airstrikes came two days after the Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack on the oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia, Iran’s main rival in the region and, with the United Arab Emirates and Israel, the principal supporter of the Trump administration’s ramped-up stance against Iran.

Yemen’s Health Ministry said that six people had been killed in the airstrikes, among them four children.

Houthi officials distributed graphic pictures of bleeding, dust-covered children lying on

hospital beds.

In an editorial published Thursday, Arab News, the main Saudi English language newspaper, said the next strikes should target Tehran.

“Our point of view is that they must be hit hard,” said the newspaper, which often reflects the official Saudi position.

“While war is always a last resort, an international response is a must to curb Iranian meddling.”

Trump’s approach to Iran, crafted primarily by his hawkish national security adviser, John R. Bolton, is “the only thing he’s gotten 100 per cent right,” said Mohammed Alyahya, the editor-in-chief of Al-Arabiya, a Saudi-owned news channel based in Dubai.

In a series of Instagram story posts Lauren, who was paired with 29-year-old virgin Matthew Bennett, expressed her support for Sunday Night’s forthcoming expose on the hit reality show. Clare Verrall has spoken to Channel 7, describing herself as “completely ripped to shreds” over her time on the reality show. Urging people to watch Sunday Night, Lauren wrote on Instagram she wished she had been approached to speak about the “horrendous show” as “I would have spoken some truths”.

Trump pardons old billionaire mate NZME US President Donald Trump gave a full pardon to a longtime friend who last year authored a glowing book about Trump’s successes.

Conrad Black was convicted in 2007 on fraud charges, including alleged embezzlement, and obstruction of justice.

He served more than three years in prison and was deported to his native Canada

after he was released in 2012.

He was barred from returning to the United States for 30 years.

The White House said in a statement that Black was “entirely deserving” of the pardon.

In listing Black’s accomplishments, it mentions biographies Black wrote about Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Richard Nixon, but not his tome on Trump.

On the first page of that book, “Donald J. Trump: A

President Like No Other,” Black writes: “Like the country he represents, Donald Trump possesses the optimism to persevere and succeed, the confidence to affront tradition and convention, a genius for spectacle, and a firm belief in common sense and the common man.”

Black, whose media company owned the Chicago Sun Times, at one time partnered with Trump to build Trump Tower in Chicago, but Trump

later bought him out.

Black denied at the end of last year that he was trying to get a pardon from Trump.

“You are correct that no pardon has been applied for, and I have no comment on the subject,” Black told a Canadian news outlet. “The public speculation about it that I have seen is bunk.”

In addition to his book, Black frequently writes columns praising Trump and considers the president a friend.

Kylie causes commotion Beauty mogul Kylie Jenner has skincare experts concerned about a new product she’s launching next week. The world’s youngest self-made billionaire is selling a walnut face scrub as part of her new Kylie Skin range. But fans are claiming the product could cause severe damage and create micro-tears in the skin. “Walnut scrubs, or any scrubs with nuts in, are too abrasive and can have dire effects on your skin such as making acne worse and pitting and scaring of the skin,” says skin specialist Amanda Von Hagen.

Johnny Galecki played Leonard Hofstadter in the Big Bang Theory.

Big Bang Theory exits on high note AP The Big Bang Theory closed out its run as television’s top-rated comedy with an emotional final episode that saw some big changes for the show’s group of geeky misfits.

The long-running series on CBS concluded with two final episodes, The Change Constant and The Stockholm Syndrome, in an hour-long finale Thursday evening. The series exited the TV airwaves with the most episodes for a multi-camera series ever with 279 episodes. It edged past NBC’s Cheers, which aired for 11 seasons and 275 episodes.

The Big Bang Theory debuted in 2007 and overcame early doubts to become a cult classic after some questioned the show’s chances of survival. The show was led by a crew of nerdy misfits starring Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Mayim Bialik, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar and Melissa Rauch.

Thursday’s finale was followed by a behind-the-scenes look at the show in Unraveling the Mystery: A Big Bang Farewell with Galecki and Cuoco as hosts.

The series began about geeky physicist roommates portrayed by Parsons and Galecki and expanded to include their friends, girlfriends and then wives. It inevitably made being nerds and comic book lovers a cool phenomenon in pop culture.

During its tenure, Big Bang Theory won 10 Emmy Awards. Parsons took home four of those trophies, including lead actor in a comedy series in 2014.

The final episodes were filled with a few surprises, a pregnancy, cameos and a speech about the importance of friendship in the series’ emotional conclusion.

Parson’s character Sheldon and Bialik’s Amy anxiously awaited the decision on whether the married couple would win the Noble Prize. The final episode also highlighted the fate of the broken elevator, which has been nonfunctional for much of the series.

It included a scene in which Bialik, who is a neuroscientist in real life, urges young girls to pursue careers in science. “Little girls who dream about science” should pursue it as a career and ignore naysayers, she said.

The comedy leaves on a high as one of television’s most popular shows. Last week’s episode was the most-watched program on broadcast or cable TV with 12.5 million viewers, beating out HBO’s Game of Thrones, which ends its series on Sunday after an eight-year run.

Parsons had said the end of the series feels like a “real rite of passage moment,” which was full of memories and some tears.

Galecki said the show has touched “so many hearts.”

OUR VIEW

Sometimes only strike action is left

N

ew Zealand’s working past was once very firmly a unionised affair.

Anyone who started any job in any sector was quickly signed up by the company’s union boss.

Signing on as a union member guaranteed you’d have someone looking out for your welfare at work and someone else doing your wage bargaining.

For decades the union system worked well, protecting workers’ rights and ensuring employees got a fair deal.

But being part of a union was never a choice. It was the era of compulsory union membership.

But there was always a downside to unions, particularly the larger ones.

The huge strikes mounted by watersiders and freezing workers in the past at times ground the

country to a halt. In those instances the pendulum of power swung too far in the opposite direction.

The days of compulsory unionism and worker organisations holding the country to ransom, however, were numbered.

Change came in 1990 when Labour lost an election, compulsory unionism disappeared and the deregulated labour market and individual contracts arrived.

Unions lost their right to represent workers for most of

1990s but in the 2000s new labour regulations determined bargaining now had to be a good faith act between the two parties.

How successful that was depends on who you ask, but what it did was open the door for a resurgence of union membership and growth in people joining forces in support of pay claims.

The word strike has made a return to the Kiwi vocabulary.

Later this month the country’s teachers will close classrooms for a day as they take strike action over failed pay claims and conditions.

And community support will be largely on their side. This is a big one.

Previously primary teachers have taken strike action, but this is likely the first time both primary and secondary teachers have

joined forces and downed tools.

Strike action is not something teachers take lightly and if you take a look at most teachers’ lives you’ll see that they have good reasons to feel aggrieved.

Gone are the halcyon days when teachers had endless holidays and working days ended at 3.30pm. Most teachers work 50-plus hour weeks and when students are on holiday they’re usually back at school catching up and planning ahead.

They’re on a fast spinning treadmill.

Teaching is an industry in crisis – its age top heavy, far fewer new teachers are signing on than the country needs and their wages have fallen woefully behind.

That’s without adding in an incredible work load, a job that carries the ultimate in responsi-

bility as an educator of youth as well as all too often adding in the role of social worker.

Good on our teachers for striking. This is one time the government needs to swallow, breathe deeply and concede to union demands.

Their jobs might not have the same potential to change lives, but there’s another strike under way this weekend, KFC workers.

That might put fast food off the menu in many parts of the country but those workers also believe they have justifiable grievances – chronic staff shortages and dodgy rosters.

It might seem small fry compared to the teachers’ claim, but it is just as important in New Zealand’s drive to ensure all employees receive a fair pay and good conditions for the jobs they do.

Five years ago: AT&T Inc. agreed to

LIFE COACH

Life is going to test us, there is no easy route. We won’t like how it makes us feel, we may worry about it, hide from it, complain about it, blame it on someone else.

We all know someone who does this, do we not? I know I can go ‘there’ at times and focus on nothing but the problem – “Oh, woe is me!”

If our basic outlook is that pain and suffering is a negative thing and must be avoided at all costs, or that it symbolises failure, we are likely to continue suffering in the form of unhappiness, depression, anxiety, just to name a few.

It’s at the point when we stop the pity party, turn right around and start looking at how best to tackle it, that we re-engage ourselves and begin to build strength.

When we decide to focus on the solutions and not the problem, we instantly transform hardship to growth. By taking charge, we become a little more interesting.

Suppose you got a nasty cut

Missed paper Call 0800 ASHBURTON 0800 274 287 on your leg. You could ignore it but the blood and pain will keep bringing you back to it.

You could place a bandage over it and protect (hide) it.

Or you could decide what attention it needs.

You could clean it, attend to it in the manner in which it needs.

Perhaps you have the skill to do this and perhaps you need to seek out additional help.

Then, it will need ongoing care as it takes the time it needs to heal.

We could complain, scream and shout about our poor leg, that would not actually help the healing process.

Blaming others for the injury won’t take away the pain. Worry will not prevent infection and eating a mountain of cake with a bottle of Merlot, will not heal it faster.

Shying away and hiding in your comfort zone is a great way

to lead a boring life.

Life presents hard times – bruises, scars of the physical and emotional variety are part of the journey.

And let’s face it, people who have lived through many life trials and tribulations are interesting people.

They are life savvy and, often, rather fascinating and a pleasure to know. They live life, not avoid it.

If we allow ourselves growth from the challenges we face, over time we start to develop new stronger, more beautiful skin.

The scars become artworks in our body of knowledge.

Are we free to proclaim Christianity? recently read a helpful statement: “That you are offended by what someone has said, does not mean that they have been offensive.”

The cries to clamp down on offensive speech are problematic because of the importance of free speech as a protection against tyrannies.

These may be the tyranny of a dictator or the tyranny of a large popular movement seeking to silence opposition.

Hasty banning of speech because of “what might happen if we don’t” is not the mark of a thoughtful society and more likely to produce Groupthink, than to promote wise and helpful actions.

A case in point is the fallout over Israel Folau’s post. A wave of outrage led to an outpouring of criticism that such things should ever be said. Quite apart from issues of public figures and

have to confess, I’ve always been a pleasure seeker.

I like feeling good, doing things I love and generally getting the most from my life. Why the hell not?

In the past, I often steered away from problems or dulled discomfort with food or alcohol – something pleasurable that distracted me from any uneasiness.

Yet suffering is a normal aspect of life.

We come to the world suffering, it’s no easy feat being born.

Ask your mother!

We all face challenges on varying degrees throughout life, and over time they allow us to grow and become stronger.

A weightlifter, for example, would not become an Olympic winner if they did not have competition that pushed them beyond their limits to become great.

That challenge is a driving force for success, allowing us to overcoming hurdles and increase our experience of pleasure.

Having things rather easy is fun for a short while, for sure, but gets boring before too long.

Challenge wakes us up! It demands we think and do things differently.

We have to learn more about ourselves and the situation to create resourcefulness and resilience.

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

contracts, the opinion has been stated (and very strongly) that such words should never be uttered in public. Well now we have a problem. The words were, as folk have noticed, a simple quote from the Bible.

They did not single out any particular group, but gave a comprehensive list of actions and/ or lifestyles which God declares sinful. Furthermore, it declared that without repentance, such sinners cannot enter heaven, but rather will reside in hell.

The quote from the Bible is accurate. The content has been orthodox Christian teaching for the past couple of thousand years.

The early Christians boldly

proclaimed this teaching, even in pagan societies where many such sins were thought acceptable.

In fact, the early Church faced great persecution, partly for saying these things, but especially because they declared “Jesus Christ is Lord” and refused to say “Caesar is Lord”.

They upheld the exclusivist teaching of Jesus who said “I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me”. They also proclaimed that this was Good News and that this truth would set people free.

Many paid for that with their lives. Yet they remained steadfast, eventually prevailed and out of their heritage grew the societies which brought us the benefits of free speech.

Now it seems the freedom to proclaim Christianity in public is under attack.

Are parts of the Bible now to be

censored - and who will decide which bits? Will we have a Ministry for Biblical Editing which will provide a redacted Bible suitable for use in New Zealand?

Were the old blasphemy laws removed only to be replaced by new blasphemy laws - just relabelled as ‘hate speech’?

What a twist it may turn out to be if the Church becomes the bastion of free speech in New Zealand, resisting the tyranny of those who would seek to silence dissent from popular opinion whether espoused by the media, lobby groups or political powers.

The state always seeks to gain ultimate and absolute authority over all areas of life, but I commend to you the claims of Christ.

May we long have the freedom in our land to say so!

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has revoked ANZ Bank New Zealand’s accreditation to model its own operational risk capital requirement due to a “persistent failure” in its controls and attestation process.

ANZ is one of four big banks in New Zealand that are accredited by the Reserve Bank to use their own risk models – the internal models approach – in calculating their regulatory capital requirements.

“Accreditation is earned through maintaining high risk-management standards, and comes with stringent responsibilities for the bank’s directors and management,” Deputy Governor Geoff Bascand said.

ANZ is now required to use the standardised approach for calculating appropriate operational risk capital. From March, 2019, this will increase its minimum capital held for operational risk by around 60 per cent, to $760 million, the RBNZ said.

ANZ New Zealand said it “accepts the RBNZ’s decision that the ORC model to be used from now will be based on the RBNZ’s standardised approach”.

ANZ says it discovered it wasn’t using and approved model during an internal review.

As a result, as at March 31, 2019, ANZ New Zealand’s ORC requirement increased by $277 million, and its capital ratios have decreased by 0.4 per cent for common equity tier 1 capital and 0.6 per cent for total capital, it said.

All four of the banks allowed to use their own models for calculating risk are Australian owned and they account for about 88 per cent of New Zealand’s banking system.

The decision comes as the Re-

serve Bank is currently consulting on its capital framework for banks.

Among the many decisions to be made, and in part due to proven weaknesses with the internal models approach, it is proposing that all banks adopt a new standardised approach for calculating operational risk capital, it said.

The bank capital proposals were announced on December 14 last year and after a couple of extensions, the consultation period was set to end yesterday.

According to Bascand, the RBNZ had encouraged ANZ to review its attestation and assess its compliance with capital regulations.

“It’s failure to use an approved model was revealed through that review,” he said.

“ANZ’s directors have attested to compliance, despite the approved model not being used since 2014.

The fact that this issue was not identified for so long highlights a persistent weakness with ANZ’s assurance process,” he added.

“We continue to work with ANZ

in assessing its systems controls before determining any further action.” ANZ said that its board and management takes the attestation regime “very seriously” and while it “believes it has appropriate controls and attestation processes in place, it will work with the RBNZ in its assessment of those controls and processes”.

A bank’s disclosure statement is required to contain certain statements signed by each director of the bank. These must state, among other things: whether the bank has systems in place to monitor and control adequately the banking group’s material risks and whether those systems are being properly applied; and whether the bank has complied with its conditions of registration over the period covered by the disclosure statement.

“These directors’ attestations are important because they strengthen the incentives for directors to oversee, and take ultimate responsibility for, the sound management of their bank,” Bascand said.

It took just three months for a $91,000 Bunnings’ flat pack to become a house in Auckland’s Onehunga in the new construction system launched by the national DIY home improvement and outdoor living chain.

In a challenge to traditional house-building methods, the Melbourne-headquartered retailer has begun selling flat pack homes into New Zealand under its own Clever Living Co. brand.

Trent Building Solutions has erected the two-bedroom 83sq m stand-alone home off Trafalgar St. The north-facing weatherboard house is the Suffolk design of 82sq m and measures 11.4m long by 7.5m wide, has a separate laundry with walk-in linen storage cupboard, audio speakers in lightbulbs, security camera system installed within outdoor lights and bathroom with separate bath and shower.

Builders Matt Cross and Tristin Hapelt of Trent assembled the flat packs in-situ, the large orders arriving via a series of truckloads from Bunnings Avondale Trade Centre.

Embracing free play and nature

T

iddlywinks Preschool has relocated to a purpose-built centre in the Oaklea subdivision in Tinwald that embraces our free play and nature philosophy.

We are passionate about using the natural world as a key tool in children’s learning and development, and through play the children learn about the natural world at their own pace.

We have dedicated teachers in both the over 2s and under 2s who have the children’s care and best interests at heart.

Children encouraged to lead the play Our teachers specialise in stepping back and letting the children lead the play, empowering them to make their own decisions and take on responsibility for collaborative play, however they are still there to guide and support when the need arises.

At Tiddlywinks Preschool, we value the relationships that children form with each other and with the teachers and we foster these relationships by having a shared kai area with the over 2s and under 2s.

This establishes relationships between our oldest and our youngest children so that when it is time for children to

transition, it makes it a smooth process that is relaxing for everyone.

Our under 2 teachers are caring, passionate and nurturing teachers who provide a safe, relaxing and stimulating environment for children of all developmental stages to grow and progress in their own time and at their own pace.

They exercise respectful practice, asking the children for permission and explaining what is happening and when.

The children are empowered to make their own choices, even at this young age.

The outdoor area offers a wide range of stimulating experiences, including a

large sandpit that joins onto the over 2s sandpit so the young ones are able to communicate with the older children.

There is grass for the children to play on and they are able to go into the communal orchard and vegetable garden where they can feed the rabbits and tend to the trees and gardens.

Creating the best learning environment We strive to produce the best learning environment and the best team of teachers who complement and support not only the children, but each other.

All our teachers are either fully qualified or in training and they are constantly upskilling through professional development or further study.

The teachers not only take on the role of kaiako but also kaitiaki which is the guardian or protector.

We value the relationships

that we build with the children, their families and their extended families and we love being a part of facilitating the children’s development into confident and competent learners.

Teachers will talk with parents/whãnau regarding their children’s progress and development through profile books, notice board displays and conveying relevant information on a daily basis.

The daily programme and curriculum at Tiddlywinks Preschool will support children’s cultural and spiritual beliefs, encourage further understanding and respect for other cultures in New Zealand.

It will also be linked to the principles, strands and goals of Te Whãriki, the Early Childhood Curriculum Document.

All policies and practices in the centre will reflect the dual cultural heritage of the partners of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Outdoors designed for adventure Our custom outdoor space has been designed specifically by Robin Christie of Childspace, a leading designer of outdoor play areas for early childhood centres, to fit our nature philosophy.

Research has shown that what children want in their outdoor play space is vegetation, water, mud, dirt and sand, creatures and insects, wildness, natural colour and diversity, loose parts, different levels, nooks and crannies, rocks, logs and stumps and Tiddlywinks Preschool provides all of these.

We have incorporated our local landscape with a bike track that resembles a braided river with pavers and bridges.

Our fort has the local mountain range etched into the side along with the renowned nor’west winds.

We have large grassy areas of various levels so the children can assess their own risk and problem solve how to get across them.

We have large sandpits for both the under 2 and over 2 areas and a large mud pit that is just waiting for all kinds of adventures.

In conjunction with our nature philosophy, we value the importance of play and what the children are learning when they are able to create, explore, assess their own risk, be independent and work collaboratively with each other.

The teachers are passionate about developing young minds and provide a safe and nurturing environment where the chilTiddlywinks.pdf

dren are able to gain confidence in themselves to learn new skills and develop their interests, while knowing that the teachers are there to support and guide them in their learning journey.

We provide open-ended resources such as loose parts where the children are free to create and engage in how ever they choose.

This allows for collaborative play where children learn all important social skills such as turn taking, sharing, communication, relationship building and empathy.

The weather plays a part in our environment and philosophy and the children love to go out in all conditions.

We have specialised wet weather gear which the children can use when it’s needed.

This teaches our children that you can find beauty every day, in all climates.

They can feel the heat from the sun in summer, the colour and feel of the leaves during autumn, the texture of ice, frost and snow during winter and the sound of the spring rain on their jackets.

Antarctica trip ‘out of this world’

By Lisa Fenwick On February 10, well-travelled Mid Cantabrian Allan Andrews did something he’d dreamed of for many years.

He took a charter day trip to the white continent, Antarctica, and there’s probably not a lot of people who can say that.

For 30-odd years, with the same captain the whole time, Qantas has popped there from late November to early March with a plane full of eager viewers.

Andrews said it was one of the best things he’s ever done. “The trip was out of this world.”

“They take four flight crew along and one of them is purely for navigation.”

He was the only New Zealander on board and his enthusiasm and joy of the trip was obvious.

“The pilot dropped the plane to 10,000 feet and basically did a figure-8 for better viewing.

“We probably saw a 10th of it (Antarctica) and we flew over it for 5 1/2 hours.”

The trip left from Melbourne, but there are also flights out of Perth, two from Sydney and another one from Adelaide. From Melbourne it takes four hours to get to Antarctica and the only way to do it, Andrews reckons, is business class.

But best of all, after the flight safely deposited its travellers back to Melbourne, Andrews got to visit the cockpit and sat in the pilot’s chair.

The whole thing was an “awesome experience”.

■■ RUGBY

Southern eye semi-final spot

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

To make the semi-finals of rugby’s combined country competition, Southern have to beat the one team that has beaten them so far this season, Darfield.

That 28-26 loss to Darfield on April 27 may give Darfield a slight psychological advantage heading into their quarter-final at the Hinds Domain today, but Southern know that you can’t read too much into that earlier result.

“It was a game of two halves, the old cliche,” Southern coach Andrew Carr said.

“The last time we were there we got out to a handy lead and they pulled it back.”

They made mistakes that day, that they will not be making again today.

“We will have to play well.

“We just can’t afford not to play well.

“If we don’t front up we will come second,” Carr said.

It hadn’t mattered to Southern who they played in the quarter finals, because you simply had to win all of your games to go all the way, no matter who was on the other side of the field.

“At the end of the day you’ve just got focus on the game at hand and not worry about who you are playing next, you’ve got a job to do,” Carr said.

Southern’s goal this season had been to make the quarter-finals, and now that they’re the only Mid Canterbury team to have done

Will Mackenzie and his Southern team-mates are the only Mid Canterbury team in today’s Combined Country Rugby Competition quarter-finals.

that, they’ve re-adjusted their goals.

“If you lose you’re playing for nothing, and if you win there’s something there to play for, so that’s motivation enough for the boys,” Carr said.

Today’s game will kick off at 2.45pm at the Hinds Domain, while the other quarter-finals will see frontrunners Glenmark-Che-

viot take on Burnham-Dunsandel-Irwell at Omihi, while Prebbleton are off to Lincoln, and Springston will host defending champions Waihora.

They may not be in the running for the combined competition title any more, but there’s still plenty to play for for Mid Canterbury’s remaining sides, with the Mid Canterbury competition –

the Watters Cup – just around the corner.

In the play-offs for ninth to 12th – the Canterbury Rugby Supporters Club Trophy – Rakaia will today host Southbridge at the Rakaia Domain and they will have revenge on their minds, having lost to Southbridge just last weekend.

In the other game in that sec-

Whitelock returns to boost Crusaders The BNZ Crusaders are in Cape Town preparing to take on the Stormers at Newlands Stadium early tomorrow morning.

Scott Robertson has named his side for the week 14 fixture, the last on the team’s tour before returning to play at home next Saturday.

Robertson has made three changes to the side that ran in seven tries in their bonus point win over the Bulls.

In the front row, Joe Moody will be rested this week, allowing a leg wound he sustained against the Bulls, to heal.

George Bower will start at

loosehead prop and Harry Allan provides cover in the reserves.

Sam Whitelock returns to captain the side against the Stormers, having re-joined the squad in Cape Town earlier this week.

The final change to the side sees Ethan Blackadder get an opportunity to start on the blindside, with Jordan Taufua shifting to the bench.

The Crusaders’ backline remains unchanged from last weekend’s game, including Man of the Match Richie Mo’unga at first five-eighth and right wing Sevu Reece, who ran in three tries against the Bulls last week.

The match will be televised live on Sky Sport at 3.15am (NZT), Sunday May 19.

tion, Celtic head to Rangiora to play Saracens, where they will be keen to turn around a big loss during pool play.

The North Canterbury RSU Plate section, for teams 13th to 16th, is where Mid Canterbury’s other two teams can be found.

Hampstead are at home to Kaiapoi today and looking for just their third win of the season, while Methven are also at home, with Oxford making their way to the Methven Domain.

Depending on those results there could well be a local derby in both of those next two sections next weekend, between Rakaia and Celtic, and Hampstead and Methven.

Hampstead’s two wins in pool play mean that for the first time in many seasons, there are no Mid Canterbury teams in the bottom section.

In the plaque section – for teams who finished 17th to 22nd – West Melton host Ohoka today, Hurunui host Ashley, and Hornby host Rolleston.

Meanwhile the Celtic women’s team will be at home today, with their game against Kaiapoi set to kick off at 2pm.

Celtic will also be a busy place on Sunday, as it hosts the annual Pompallier Tournament, involving under-9, under-11 and under-13 teams from Ashburton Celtic, Timaru Celtic, St Joseph’s of Oamaru and Marist Albion.

That tournament gets under way at 10.30am.

MacDonald still confident The Blues face the Chiefs on Eden Park tonight, and despite sitting second to last on the overall standings coach Leon MacDonald remains a confident man.

The competition is so tight that mathematically the Blues could still make the playoffs, and MacDonald says his team won’t be wasting opportunities the way they did in their 22-12 defeat against the Hurricanes last week.

The Blues intend to be more clinical on the field, which they will have to be against a Super Rugby team they haven’t beaten since 2011.

They’re set to take on the Christchurch United Old Dogs at the Ashburton Domain at 2.30pm, while the club’s second side will be in Ashburton fighting a tough battle of their own. The Methven FC Reserves are playing Mid Canterbury United in a division six clash at the Ashburton Domain at 2.30pm.

Mid Canterbury United’s unbeaten division one side is also playing at home at 2.30pm, against the Burnham Football Club Bobcats.

Back on the turf Wakanui will look to take their winning streak this season to four in a row when they host Temuka in the latest round of the South Canterbury Hockey men’s division one competition today. Wakanui will host Temuka at the Ashburton Hockey turf at 2.40pm today, after the Hampstead women take on Geraldine at 1pm. While Wakanui are unbeaten at the top of the table for the men, the Hampstead women are fourth with just one win from three outings so far.

UC champs return Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green dunks against the Portland Trail Blazers during yesterday’s game.

■■BASKETBALL

Warriors forced to dig deep AP These Golden State Warriors have long been able to score in fabulous, jaw-dropping flurries.

Down by eight to the Portland Trail Blazers at home with 4½ minutes to go, they needed every last burst, perfect pass, driving layup and dunk.

“Our experience really paid off for us tonight having a bunch of guys who just won’t quit,” said Draymond Green, who was right smack in the middle of it all.

Stephen Curry scored 37 points, and the Warriors rallied from a 15-point halftime deficit before holding off Portland on the final possession for a 114-111 win yesterday and a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals.

Golden State coach Steve Kerr insisted his team stole this game with a sensational final few minutes and another, familiar third-quarter outburst.

Counterpart Terry Stotts of the

Trail Blazers considered it a “lost opportunity” on the road.

CJ McCollum missed a driving jumper with 32 seconds left and Green scored on the other end for the Warriors, giving Portland one final chance with 12.3 seconds to go.

Andre Iguodala then blocked a 3-point attempt by Damian Lillard on the left wing.

“They stole it, but they earned it down the stretch,” McCollum said.

Seth Curry, Steph’s little brother, scored 16 points and put Portland ahead on a 3-pointer with 1:03 left before Kevon Looney’s dunk on the other end put Golden State back on top at 112-111.

Stephen Curry shot 11 for 22 and made all 11 of his free throws – three with 2:01 left – to post his third straight 30-point performance while Splash Brother Klay Thompson needed a half to heat up, scoring 13 of his 24 in the Warriors’ 39-point third period.

It was reminiscent of those old third-quarter runs that have defined this group.

McCollum scored 22 points for Portland and Lillard overcame a slow start to add 23 points and 10 assists as the Blazers looked far more in sync than in a 116-94 defeat two days earlier.

Game 3 in the best-of-seven series is Saturday night at Portland.

“We did play a much better game at both ends of the floor tonight.

“We’ve got to take that into Game 3,” Stotts said.

“It is a lost opportunity, no question. We had a chance to get one here on the road.”

Green made a pretty bounce pass through the paint to a cutting Iguodala for a dunk with 3:06 left to make it 108-105, then Green assisted on a layup by Looney the next possession.

“Draymond’s been special all playoffs,” Thompson said. “... When he goes, we go.

“He was tremendous tonight.”

Green had 16 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and five blocked shots playing with foul trouble.

His seven straight playoff games with at least 10 rebounds are a career high.

“We’ve been here before,” Green said. “When you’re on a run like we’re currently in, you’ve seen everything.

“Down eight points with what, four minutes to go, or whatever it was, just got to keep going, because we know we can erase eight points.”

The Warriors missed Kevin Durant for a third straight game because of a strained right calf and he isn’t likely to return at all this round.

They already got past James Harden and Chris Paul in the last round – now it’s McCollum and Lillard standing in the way of a fifth straight trip to the NBA Finals.

Juniors make the grade in the big city A venture into new territory has proven to be a winning move for Ashburton College’s junior boys’ basketball side.

The team is this season travelling to Christchurch weekly to compete in the Canterbury under-17 boys’ competition, and after a tough introduction to the city competition they’ve found their stride.

They were well beaten by a slick Christ’s College in week

one, but bounced back with wins against Cashmere and Burnside which meant they’d done enough to play their way into the top 16, of 32 teams.

They would now compete over the next eight weeks to try and make the top eight.

Coach Mark Douglas said with training twice a week, and a lot of extra effort being put in, the progress that was being made was encouraging.

“It’s like anything, you put in the hard work and you will get the results,” Douglas said.

With the help of pre-season yoga, kick-boxing and spin to keep everyone fresh, Douglas said they were trying to introduce as many ‘extras’ as they could to expand the boys’ knowledge.

The latest extra is a session with South Island Basketball’s newly appointed high perfor-

mance manager Mel Downer, a former head coach at the Australian Institute of Sport, on Monday.

Douglas said the session – at the Ashburton College gym from 4pm until 6pm – would be a fantastic learning opportunity, not just for the athletes, but for coaches, too.

“If any coaches wished to sit in on Mel’s training session with the boys they are more than welcome.”

They only lost by two points to Waimea Combined away last week, but Mid Canterbury Combined know they’ll be up against it when they return home for their next UC Championship rugby fixture today. They’re taking on one of the traditionally strong sides in Canterbury secondary school rugby, Christs College, at the Ashburton College field today. Kick off is at midday.

World Cup scare Black Caps wicketkeeper Tom Latham is a doubt for the Cricket World Cup after suffering a finger injury. The 27-year-old’s left middle finger was “displaced and cracked” during the warmup game against Australia in Brisbane last week.

Latham was struck on the finger and was forced to leave the field for medical attention. The injury leaves Latham in doubt for at least the early stages of the tournament in England and Wales.

Football Ferns thumped The Football Ferns have gone down to the World No 1 USA 5-0 at a packed-out Busch Stadium in St Louis, Missouri yesterday. The Tom Sermanni-coached side, who were looking forward to the test of taking on the world champions in front of 35,000 fans, started promisingly but were beaten by a clinical USA side that is looking to defend their FIFA Women’s World Cup title in a few weeks’ time in France.

■■ BASKETBALL

X-factor gets the Donkeys home An MSA Team Donkey basketball side with a bit of added x-factor powered to a late win over College in Wednesday night’s round of the Mid Canterbury men’s A grade basketball competition.

Team Donkey had the services of the 6-foot eight-inch tall Josh Lowe, who was home on a few weeks’ leave from Lee University in the USA, for the night and he top scored with 30 points, putting in a dominant display on the boards and producing some excellent offensive moves.

It was College who had got off to a better start though, with Kalen Tait striking early with a couple of three-pointers to take an early 18-14 lead after the first quarter.

But a problematic second quarter for College, where errors crept in and they only found the basket three times, saw Team Donkey lead 30-24 by half time.

Some inspired play in the third quarter from College increased the tempo of the game and they grabbed the lead back 4640, but College’s intensity dropped and Team Donkey upped the ante, going on a 24-0 run.

College called two timeouts to try and stop the rot, but it made no difference and Team Donkey powered home to win 68–61.

For College, Fotu Hala had the unenviable task of matching up with Lowe when

he was on the court, and he continued his good form and top scored with 18 points.

The entertainment continued in game two, with Nomads just getting the better of Star Farmers Corner.

Star got off to a good start, finding the basket with ease while Nomads were a little lacklustre.

Nomads gradually intensified their defence but only making slight inroads into Star’s lead, but things heated up in the third as Nomads started to find the hoop while working hard on defence.

With Star up 51–47, the fourth quarter was a cracker as Nomads kept on their roll to get to within a point, then an 8–0 run including two three-pointers and a basket by Tim Gleason gave Nomads a break.

The game stepped up another notch and a big three in the last minute to John Wang of Star drew them back to two points.

Star had three forced three-point shots in the last 16 seconds, when a play for a two-point basket would’ve been enough to at least tie the game, and in the end it was Nomads who came out on top 72-68.

For Nomads, the scoring was shared with Tim Gleason top-scoring with 14 points.

For Star Ramil Ilumin top-scored with 16 points, with Tim Kuipers adding 13 and Randy Buenafe 12.

College get the job done in overtime Ashburton College’s senior boys’ basketball side have won their latest match in the Thompson Trophy basketball competition in dramatic fashion.

Overtime was required to determine who would come out on top when Ashburton College and Rangiora High School went head-to-head at Ashburton’s Oxford Street stadium on Tuesday night, and it was the home side that eventually came out on top, winning 87-78.

Rangiora had gone into the match as the more fancied side after an 80-point walloping of Hillmorton, while Ashburton had a wake-up call against Shirley in their first game, but the home side really took the challenge to the taller Rangiora side by matching up man-to-man early on.

The first quarter was a real arm wrestle, as each team tried to assert their authority and it ended tied at 17-all, and the second quarter continued in the same vein.

By half-time Rangiora held a narrow 37–35 lead, and although Ashburton ran into some third-quarter problems with Fotu Hala picking up his fourth foul, they did not relent and Rangiora landed a late basket to ensure they again held a slender lead at the next break, 52-51.

The fourth quarter had everything.

Rangiora got on a roll and got out to a five-point lead and after a time out was called, Ashburton got back into the game through the excellent shooting of Quinn Ritchie and Hala.

Then came the sensational finish.

Hala scored two crucial baskets to give his side a 74-71 lead with only seven seconds remaining, only for Rangiora to claim a last ditch three-pointer to tie the game up with two seconds to go.

A last second shot from Ritchie went close, but at full-time it was 74-all and extra time was required.

The action was manic, as the teams went helter-skelter at each other but it was the College boys that eventually showed better discipline, taking the lead and sticking to their offensive structures and defensively break down the Rangiora challenge.

They forced turnovers and claimed their defensive rebounds and Hala in particular drove strongly to the basket to claim a four-point lead.

Rangiora were forced to foul and put the Ashburton boys on the line in order to try and get the ball back, but they were up to the task converting five from six to take the win 87-78.

Ashburton College coach Brian Kerr said it was a real arm wrestle and at times his side got a bit loose, however they were able to regroup and run their patterns and score when it counted.

“To me there were so many wonderful moments from all the boys that took the court, whether it was hitting a crucial three, a big defensive rebound or just the tenacity of their defence,” Kerr said.

Ritchie was outstanding on defence, matching up against some pretty slick guards each time and he never stopped being a defensive threat to them, Kerr said.

He also scored 19 points, with 10 coming in the final quarter.

Hala also got better as the game went on.

He started the fourth quarter on four fouls and saw out the match, ending up with 36 points, including nine points in overtime.

After the final whistle sounded it was the turn of the girls, with the Ashburton College senior girls also taking on Rangiora High School in their second Whelan Trophy game of the season.

Rangiora proved to be too good in that game though, taking it out 79-46.

College sneak home for another win

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

College A have bounced back from a slow start to beat Hampstead A and keep their unbeaten start to the Mid Canterbury Netball premier one competition going.

The young College side had their work cut out for them to get to that 37-33 win at the EA Networks Centre on Thursday night, with Hampstead A coming out all guns blazing and restricting College to just five goals in the first quarter to lead 11-5.

College A made a couple of changes on attack at the first break though and they paid off quickly, with College soon clawing their way back within two and then drawing even just before half-time.

The two sides were all square at 18-all at half-time and neither was willing to give an inch in the third quarter, before a late turnover gave College a slender advantage which they took into the three-quarter break, 28-26.

Hampstead pounced on an early opportunity in the final quarter and drew even once again, but when it came to the crunch it was the College side

which came up with the goods to win by four.

College A coach Kaye Kennedy said she was pleased with her side’s second quarter performance after the slow start.

She said once her side stopped throwing too many cross-court passes and looked after possession, they were able to get back in the game and find their rhythm.

Hampstead A coach Janene McDowell said she’d been expecting a tough battle, and after a strong performance was disappointed not to have come away with the win.

She said her side’s shooting was consistent, but their error rate through court was too high.

“We took our opportunities early, but we failed to absorb the pressure in the second half,” McDowell said.

On the next court, Methven A also found themselves having to absorb some pressure from a Celtic B side seeking their first win of the competition.

Celtic B put in one of their better performances of the season, but fell short against last year’s runners-up 23-19.

With bonus point territory

being finishing within three, it meant both Celtic B and Hampstead A just missed out on taking what would’ve been the first bonus points of the competition.

Celtic B and Mt Somers are now the only winless teams after three games in round one, with Mt Somers going down to defending champions Celtic A 33-19 in Thursday night’s other premier one game.

Meanwhile, in premier two, Southern A and United A maintained their unbeaten streaks as they eye up a return to the top flight.

Southern A beat Celtic C 4114 on Thursday night, while United A beat Methven B 48-23.

Ashburton College B beat Hampstead B 32-14 in the other game of the night.

Automatic promotion and relegation await the top team from premier two and the bottom team from premier one at the end of round one, and a big week ahead will determine which teams that wil involve.

A catch-up round was due to be played on Tuesday night, before the final games of round one took to the court on Thurs- College A’s Samantha Holden takes an intercept during her side’s win day night. over Hampstead A on Thursday night.

■■WANGANUI

Connors targets big double NZME Wanganui trainer Raymond Connors will bid to defend two feature race crowns when he lines up horses at Te Rapa and Awapuni today.

Connors will seek back-toback wins in the Signature Homes Waikato Steeplechase (3900m) at Te Rapa with Max, while She’s Poppy looks to make it successive wins in the Listed Rangitikei Gold Cup at Awapuni.

Typically reserved in his assessment, Connors simply said he’s hoping for the best.

“Hopefully he can do it again,” Connors said of Gallant Guru nine-year-old Max, who produced a proficient jumping display en route to his 2 1/2-length win in last year’s Te Rapa feature.

“He’s had a bit longer break over summer so hopefully he’s fit enough.

“I think he is. He had his last run in September the previous year but last year he went to the paddock in June so he’s had three or four months longer out.

“Whether he might be needing one more run or not, I’m not 100 per cent sure, but he didn’t go a bad race first-up.”

She’s Poppy showing her best form at Marton.

Max resumed with a fourth placing in a restricted open steeplechase at Wanganui earlier this month, beaten less than two lengths.

He is reunited on Saturday with Isaac Lupton, who will chase his third win in the race after Myths And Legends in 2012 and Max last year.

Connors has his sights set on

the McGregor Grant Steeplechase (4150m) at Ellerslie on June 3 with Max before formulating a winter plan that could yet include a shot at the Great Northern Steeplechase (6400m) at Ellerslie in September if he shows he might have the stamina.

“We will get through this and the McGregor Grant and then

look at our options.

“Hopefully he can show a bit of form,” said Connors, who also saddles maiden hurdler Mesmerize at Te Rapa after an encouraging resuming run for second at Wanganui on May 1.

On Mesmerize, Connors said: “He should pick up a jumping race or two, though he probably should have won by now. He doesn’t always finish it off.”

Connors was hoping rain this week would bring She’s Poppy into contention for the Rangitikei Gold Cup after she was unplaced on dead tracks in the Gr.1 New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) at Te Aroha and Gr.2 Travis Stakes (2000m) at Te Rapa in her last two starts.

“She needs rain and our concern was that the track might be too good for her again but the rain this week should have helped,” Connors said.

“I’d like to see her running on well to see if she’s back. We were probably dreaming a bit with those first two races and the tracks were too good.

“But she’s working well and we’d like to think she can run an improved race.”

In brief Betting levy repealed Racing Minister Winston Peters has announced a repeal of the betting levy currently paid by the racing industry to the Crown. Peters made the pre-Budget announcement when opening the NZ Bloodstock Karaka May Sale in Auckland yesterday.

Peters announced that payment of the levy to the Crown will be phased out over a three-year period, with freed-up funds to be redirected to the racing and sports sectors. The betting levy amounted to $13.9 million in 2018.

Sheezallmine ready Matamata trainer Daniel Miller is sticking to the Kiwis when he starts his smart filly Sheezallmine against some promising Australian sprinters for the first time at Doomben today.

Miller, a former jumps jockey, will line Sheezallmine up in the JRA 3YO Plate with former Kiwi Jason Collett booked to ride the Super Easy filly, a bargain basement $1000 purchase who has won three of her four starts.

Versatility the key Shaun Phelan will wear two hats at Te Rapa today. The Cambridge horseman will don his riding helmet for two jumps rides at the prestigious raceday as well as putting on his trainer’s hat to help saddle Big Mike and Notabadidea. Both horses look strong chances in two of the flat race features. - NZME

Saturday, May 18, 2019

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You don’t know how great you are at a thing until you see the level at which the average novice is working. This is why it will benefit you to test your skills in a public setting.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): When you’re stuck, just ask yourself more questions. Questions such as “why does this matter?” or “what is important about this?” will bring you past the symptoms and right to the root issue.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’re certain that if you can just stick to a certain behaviour, you’ll get what you want. Training yourself will be similar to training other creatures; different rewards and deterrents, same principle.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Where does the joy come from?

“Within” gets the most votes from people with semi-charmed lives. It’s easier to find the joy “within” when the environment “without” supports emotional and physical needs.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Your hunches are eerily accurate, but those who have something to hide will try to make you doubt them. Think of this as a game and it becomes really fun for you.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Laughter is the way to unity, fun and a generally warm feeling. It’s a little painful when the joke doesn’t land, but keep trying because it’s worth it. If it were easy, everyone would be funny.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): There’s an element of randomness that’s made its way into your consciousness and is starting to seem maybe not so random after all. Look for the pattern. You’ll soon break the code.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The extraordinary moon could provide you with just the extra nudge required to break your own rules. So if it really matters, put extra enforcements in place. And if it doesn’t, have fun!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ll be invited to compete. This is an honour, as it means that you’re seen as a worthy opponent. Accepting this invitation is optional, and hopefully you’ll enjoy the implied compliment either way.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’ll be so comfortable around those who respond warmly and predictably to you that you may wonder why you would hang out with people who are difficult to harmonise with.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Rip up the script because today is a full-on improvisational challenge.

Here’s the beauty of it: You don’t have to come up with crazy moves. It’s all about listening intently and responding honestly.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’re awesome inside and out. So stop noting what you want to change about yourself and just take a moment to observe the glory of what’s there. See it in the mirror; see it in your soul.
