THE

The Ashburton Domain Oval Pavilion has been cleared for use while discussions continue about who actually owns the building.

The Ashburton District Council redstickered the building at the start of the month, saying it needed serious maintenance and that blocked drains had allowed water to seep in.

The pavilion and indoor cricket nets on the southern side are used by Mid Canterbury Cricket; the Ashburton Athletics Club also uses it to store gear.

Mid Canterbury Cricket spokesman Mike Southby said the red sticker was removed on Monday and the pavilion, toilets and indoor nets were able to be used again.

“It has some restrictions still, in terms of the number of people in the building and there is obviously some maintenance work still to be done when the issue of ownership is resolved,” he said.

The sporting organisation has already held one working bee to clear out gutters and deal with other overdue maintenance so the building could be fit for use as the summer season for cricket

and athletics begins. There was plenty of goodwill in the community for the building, which also includes a stage and soundshell, he said.

Cricket is providing free labour for repairs while local businesses are offering their services for free.

The problem remains a lack of money to buy material for the work and Mid Canterbury Cricket, like many other volunteer groups, is financially strapped.

Oval pavilion back in business From P1 Southby said it could take months to sort out who actually owned the pavilion as those involved in deeds connected to it were no longer around. It is administered by the Ashburton Domain Oval Pavilion Charitable Trust.

He said council was assisting investigations into who was responsible for it.

In the meantime, cricket matches planned for the venue over summer would go ahead, along with several athletic meets, including the Mid Canterbury County Athletic Sports next month.

Cricketers were back training in the nets yesterday and the athletics club’s first children’s meeting of the summer is tonight.

Investors learnt Black Monday lessons

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

The 1987 sharemarket crash that tipped New Zealand into financial recession is a distant memory for today’s savvy investors, says Ashburton share investment advisor Selwyn Sloan.

Sloan wasn’t in the sharebroking industry 30 years ago when Kiwis all over the country fancied making easy money buying and selling shares in an unprecedented bullish market.

When the US market collapsed on what is known as Black Monday, October 19, 1987, the fallout was devastating in New Zealand.

And while the effect on most economies around the world was short-lived, here it was brutal and lasted years.

Sloan, who worked for Ross,

Selwyn Sloan Sinclair and Co and now Forsyth Barr in Ashburton, said Kiwis were caught up in the sharemarket’s momentum pre-crash, not

wanting to miss out.

But shares were often bought without research and on the recommendation of friends or family.

“It is unlikely to happen today,” he said. “We have a lot more research going on and investors are a lot more savvy, they do their homework.”

Access to information via the internet and from share investment advisors now drove investment decisions, “not so much pub talk”.

Sloan said shares were still a popular option today for those looking to invest their money for higher returns than a term deposit at a trading bank, and sharebrokers had become investment advisors and managed share portfolios for clients.

moved tariffs on imports and subsidies for farmers. The top tax rates were slashed and financial markets were deregulated.

As a result, capital poured into the country but numerous domestic businesses struggled to remain profitable.

Investment companies specialising in takeovers and restructuring jumped on to the stock exchange, raising money from the public to buy up struggling companies, including state-owned companies that the nearly bankrupt Government was racing to sell.

More than 200 companies were floated on the exchange from 1983 to the end of 1987.

By comparison, there have been just 34 initial public offerings (IPOs) on the NZX since 2012.

New Zealand’s share market fell 15 per cent in a day and by the end of February 1988, it had fallen almost 60 per cent from its peak.

The New Zealand Herald, in a series of stories looking back at the crash, said the years before were of social change.

In 1984 the new Labour Government had unshackled New Zealand from an era of regulation – currency control, import licences, carless days, wage and price freezes.

The cultural and social change in New Zealand coincided with one of the great global stock market runs. On Wall Street, the DowJones Industrial Index rose 282 per cent between 1982 and October 1987.

In the space of three years the country floated its currency, re-

Schools struggle to find teachers

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

As a primary school teacher shortage looms over Auckland, it is also becoming “increasingly difficult” to attract new teachers to Mid Canterbury, say principals.

Fewer students opting to pursue teaching a career, combined with fewer teachers choosing to apply for jobs in the regions is putting the squeeze on local schools seeking teaching and relief staff.

“The work force is ageing and the supply of young teachers is not keeping up,” said Ashburton Borough School Principal Sam Winterbourn.

“The teacher supply is not only a problem in Auckland.”

Winterbourn’s school had recently accepted the resignation of two staff members, and he said a number of issues were making it increasingly hard to attract staff.

“We are losing staff to overseas and out of the profession – both where salaries are more attractive – but salaries are not the only reason for staffing challenges in Ashburton,” “Places like Ashburton, I believe, are seen as less attractive to young people.”

Winterbourn said people were choosing to ignore the opportunities that exist in places like Ashburton, due to inexperience of provincial living.

“People don’t dig to find out more, particularly when there

are jobs elsewhere that may be perceived as more attractive,” he said.

Mayfield principal Richard Kidd described the teacher shortage “something the government will have to address quite soon”.

“There definitely doesn’t seem to be as many teachers,” he said.

“I think the lack of young teachers will start to become a real issue … and perhaps a lack of principals – all of them are already above 50 years old.”

Kidd said he had received about half the number of applications for a beginning teacher job this year compared to last year, and felt “quite lucky” that the school was not currently needing any more staff.

Methven Primary School had also recently undertaken the task of appointing a new teacher.

“We were a bit worried … we’d heard that the more rural schools were struggling,” principal Chris Murphy said.

“The number of applicants was definitely down slightly, but the quality was actually up,” The principals said that finding relief teachers was also challenging.

“We’re pretty thin on the ground,” said Kidd.

“We’ve got a couple of retired teachers who can help when we need, but we do struggle with that one.”

Police focus on reducing crashes

As Labour Weekend approaches, police presence on the roads will increase.

Starting today, police will be running Operation Drive Safe, and focusing on minimising the number of crashes throughout Canterbury during the long weekend.

Senior Constable Brent Cosgrove described serious injury and fatality as “the worst possible outcome for any family,” and urged drivers to heed police advice for a safe journey.

Police are asking drivers to drive to the conditions, observe the speed limits and stay focused – identifying potential hazards early. They also urged drivers to ensure everyone in their vehicle is wearing a seatbelt or appropriate restraint, and to share the driving, take regular breaks and drive alert.

“Remember you’re sharing the road with many others – you have a responsibility to be courteous and patient to ensure you look after yourself, your family and other road users.”

The NZTA are also encouraging drivers to ensure they belt up, drive left of the centre line and take extreme care when overtaking.

■ HOOF CARE EXPO

Principles behind hoof care explained

BY COLIN WILLISCROFT

COLIN.W@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A Mid Canterbury hoof care expo has been rated a great success, with more than 80 people attending the inaugural event.

Run by Veehof Dairy Services, the expo featured a seminar that explained the principles of proper hoof trimming, which was followed by a practical demonstration.

Those at the expo were then encouraged to give things a go themselves, to reinforce what they had heard and seen.

Veehof’s Fred Hoekstra said the aim of the expo was to give people a better appreciation of the skill level involved with proper hoof care.

“A lot of people don’t understand how much science is involved,” Hoekstra said.

If hoof trimming is not done correctly it can mean cattle will take longer to recover than if it is not done at all, he said.

“We want to help farmers be the best they can be.”

Given it was the first time the expo has been run, Hoekstra said before the event began he was not sure how it would go.

However, he is very pleased with both the number of people who attended and the way they were drawn into discussion about hoof care.

“With this number of people coming in we’ll hold it again in the future if it helps to get the story across,” he said.

Veehof Dairy Services’ head hoof trimmer, Elbert Gargar, explains some of the basics about hoof health to dairy workers who attended the hoof care expo yesterday.

Budding athletes and Valerie Adams hopefuls assembled under the sun at Netherby School yesterday for a Cluster Athletics Sports Day. Around 400 students from Tinwald, Chertsey, Fairton and Netherby schools donned their sneakers and their best sportsmanship to participate in the day.

Students were divided into age groups, from five to 11 years, and spent the day rotating through a range of athletics activities, with a sausage sizzle lunch break put on

by Netherby and Fairton Home and School groups.

Activities included long jump, discus, shot put, short sprint, long spring, and high jump.

Who does own the cricket pavilion?

Matt Markham

EDITOR

W

hen the Ashburton Domain Oval Pavilion was red-stickered earlier this month, no one could possibly have guessed the puzzle that would have been unearthed in the aftermath.

All of a sudden here was this hotbed of questions around who was responsible for the upkeep of the building and its surroundings and exactly where the financial gains from payments from those who use it, were going.

The building is listed as being owned by the Ashburton Domain Oval Pavilion Charitable Trust – a group formed to oversee the running of the building made up of representatives from the Ashburton District Council, Mid Canterbury Cricket Association and the Ashburton Athletics Club.

But various websites list the trust as being deregistered for failing to file for annual returns.

And so, the mystery seems to deepen.

According to the Ashburton District Council website a councillor is supposed to be assigned to the trust, but there is no-one listed to the position currently and no one at the council could tell us who the representative was.

Not helping the situation is that of those who were around when the initial deeds for the trust were established, few if any still remain in the district meaning that it could take any number of months before whoever is responsible is found.

It is understood that the sound shell part of the pavilion is owned by the Ashburton District Council and is independent of the pavilion and the indoor cricket nets at the back of the building – although this has been unable to be 100 per cent confirmed.

Luckily, through all the confusion and uncertainty, the building has been lifted to a tenable standard and sporting events and fixtures scheduled to be held there this year are now back on the calendar, with a busy few summer months ahead.

The red sticker was removed on Monday thanks to the efforts and goodwill of a number of people from within the community who worked hard to get things up to scratch and while they still have plenty of work to do, at least things are back on track for the popular sporting venue.

YOUR VIEW No response Following on from my letter to the Guardian, Thursday, October 12, which has been met with the proverbial “cone of silence” from council.

The response to my letter has been very positive indeed from our community, which encourages me to continue.

What I stated in my first letter has not been negated by council, so must be accurate in its content.

Firstly, can I comment on Experience Mid Canterbury. This organisation is a Council Controlled Organisation (CCO). The dictionary defines control as dominate, command or regulate.

So while council may claim the i-SITES are managed by Experience Mid Canterbury ultimate responsibility for our i-SITES goes back directly to council. They control the “purse strings”.

Now when you go to the council website and view the ADC minutes from May 18, the minutes indicate that council approved Experience Mid Canter-

bury’s funding for the 2017/18 year. So, did councillors know their motion was closing the iSITES? With our i-SITES closing we will lose the expertise of trained staff that have promoted our district very professionally over the years. And that is very disappointing.

The Manager of Experience Mid Canterbury Bruce Moffat wanted the $63,000 that funds Ashburton i-SITE to attend more travel shows, which I stated in my first letter can’t be measured for their effectiveness. In fact you could argue, why encourage visitors from overseas destinations to visit Mid Canterbury when there is no i-SITE open in Ashburton for them to get information from!

Now our Experience Mid Canterbury manager is to attend travel shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth over consecutive weekends flying home after each event. Is this a good investment?

Last Thursday a campervan stopped outside our store.

Two young people got out and walked across to the i-SITE. Ob-

viously shut. When they came back to their van, I apologised to them that our i-SITE was closed, and explained why. I enquired if I could help them which I did, and sent them on their way.

This young couple from Wales had just flown into Christchurch to start a six-week tour criss-crossing the length and breadth of New Zealand, probably using many of the 80 plus i-SITES nationwide.

But not Ashburton!

Mayor Donna, tourism is New Zealand’s largest export earner.

Don’t you want Mid Canterbury to be part of that?

These visitors don’t just put money in the till at the i-SITE but I would suggest in tills around our town and district.

The i-SITE is part of a service to the community. It is not there to just make a profit.

The Ashburton i-SITE is full of brochures that operators and supporters of the i-SITE have paid to have there. I assume they will be entitled to refunds.

And there goes a revenue stream for Experience Mid Canterbury.

Plus, you have a store full of retail stock just sitting there

costing money.

Mayor Donna, can you publicly clarify if the i-SITE building has a covenant on it, which states, can only be used for an Information Centre.

I challenge our mayor, councillors and Experience Mid Canterbury Board members to come to East Street, sit outside the i-SITE for a few days and justify your decision to close our i-SITE. Mayor Donna, you convinced council you needed your own private secretary (the first mayor to need one) at a cost of $60,000 per year. I presume unbudgeted, but we can’t afford $63,000 a year to keep our i-SITE open.

You employ a wordsmith to write your speeches, news releases, etc at a cost of $40,000 per year, but we can’t afford $63,000 for our i-SITE. Donna, in my first letter to you I challenged you to act to have our i-SITES re-opened.

To date no response.

Don’t sit on your hands. You are paid to lead this district.

That time is now.

■ NORTH KOREA

Kim may nuke Pacific North Korea’s Mt Mantap is collapsing.

And this has dire implications for the future of Kim Jong-un’s nuclear testing programme.

The granite mound is crumbling under its own weight, making it useless for further nuclear tests.

Executive secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear-TestBan treaty Organisation Lassina Zerbo earlier this month said sensors had detected two small earthquakes under Mt Mantap on October 12.

These were similar to two others detected since September 3, shortly after North Korea exploded its largest weapon yet – what it claimed to be a miniaturised thermonuclear warhead.

These earthquakes are believed to be the mountain falling in on cavities left behind when nuclear devices were exploded, leaving enormous caverns of vapourised rock.

But Kim Jong-un has continued to assert his desire to refine his nuclear arsenal to counter that of the US. “Before we can engage in diplomacy with the Trump administration, we want to send a clear message that the DPRK has a reliable defensive and offensive capability to counter any aggression from the United States,” a North Korean official reportedly said overnight. He added that an aboveground detonation would be

The 69-year-old singer-songwriter, supermodel and actress will perform a one-off show with a full band at the Queenstown Events Centre on March 2, 2018. Tickets for the exclusive show start at a hefty $159, with an additional booking fee. The show is presented

by Rhythm & Alps, and organiser Alex Turnbull says the show will be a “spectacle of music, fashion and art”.

Tickets are now on sale from Eventfinda and Rhythm & Alps.

Dr Adam Mount, the senior fellow for nuclear and defence policy with the Federation of American Scientists says the precarious state of the Punggye-ri test site makes this a disturbingly real proposition.

Mount said an aboveground detonation was not necessary to establish a credible nuclear deterrent, pointing out India and Pakistan as having both limited their tests to underground.

“No one doubts that DPRK

can create a nuclear yield, and a warhead does not need to see the sky to test miniaturisation, staging, etc,” Mount wrote.

“So while an above-ground test might be useful, it is not strictly required to achieve a credible deterrent.”

But miniaturisation of a thermonuclear warhead to the point it was small enough to be carried by an intercontinental ballistic missile will require further development – and testing.

Fans and fellow broadcasters have taken to Twitter to praise Lisa Wilkinson’s decision to walk away from Nine over pay parity, saying networks need to value female staff. On Monday Wilkinson dropped the double bombshell that she would quit the Today show effective immediately. An hour later she tweeted she was “absolutely thrilled” to join Ten’s The Project in a senior hosting and editorial role from January 2018. Online, fans and fellow journalists expressed support for her decision and aimed fire at Nine for refusing to match the reported $9 million, three year contract Karl Stefanovic signed in 2016.

‘Massive’ BNZ restructure

Guardian Shares & Investments

■ CADBURY PRODUCTION

Compiled by

Production for Cadbury confectionery will move to Australia following an unsuccessful bid to find a local supplier.

Mondelez yesterday confirmed production would move to its sites in Australia where New Zealand’s iconic confectionery products will be made.

James Kane, Mondelez

New Zealand country head, said the company had invested in an exhaustive search to find a potential manufacturer.

“Unfortunately, we only received one formal response to the RFP

documents from a local supplier that was interested in manufacturing the full portfolio of Kiwi products in New Zealand,” Kane said.

“We’ve worked very closely with that supplier over the last six months to try and find a way for them to take on the work, however the unique requirements of these products – particularly the marshmallow-based products – meant it simply wasn’t possible.”

In February, Mondelez International confirmed the closure of the Dunedin factory, telling its staff 200 people would be made redundant by the end of the year and 100 people would remain with the business until early next year.

Kane said hundreds of hours had been invested to try to find a workable solution for a potential local manufacturer, including a number of site assessments by technical experts.

Mondelez International will now focus on shifting production to Australia early next year.

“The iconic Kiwi products require particular technologies, production processes and skills, and very few manufacturers anywhere in the world could take on this work while continuing to match our product requirements,” Kane said.

The Dunedin team is playing a central role in the transition, he said.

Bank of New Zealand is reviewing staff levels at some branches and is in talks with workers as part of a drive to adopt new digital technology in an environment where more customers are doing their banking online.

First Union said more than 100 jobs may go in what it describes as a “massive” restructure of BNZ’s branch network, with reduced hours and positions slated in more than 30 branches, it said in a statement.

That equates to 2 per cent of BNZ’s workforce of about 5000 fulltime equivalents. The lender’s personnel costs rose 6 per cent to $452 million in the year ended September 30, 2016.

“It’s appalling that a wildly profitable bank like BNZ is looking to put so many people out of work,” First Union spokeswoman Tali Williams said.

“This isn’t just devastating for those staff who may lose their jobs, but it’ll impact customers as well. When jobs go customer service suffers.”

BNZ and its peers have been boosting their online channels in recent years as consumers grow more comfortable about transacting online, letting them pare back an expensive physical network of branches.

BNZ had 161 retail branches as at March 31, down from 173 a year earlier, while at the same time automatic teller machines increased to 488 from 479 and internet banking customers climbed to 745,000 from 705,000 in March 2016.

That’s seen a heavy investment in software development and the bank attributed a $261 million value on goodwill and other intangible assets as at June 30, up from $187 million a year earlier.

A BNZ spokeswoman said those changes spurred the lender to look at the make-up of its staff and skills.

“For some this means there are change proposals that are being discussed,” she said.

“We can’t go into detail on what that might be, as we need to let the proper consultation process take place with our people in the first instance.”

Mania-O-Roto Scouts working towards their Chief Scout Award were in Lyttelton last week.

To get that, the highest award that can be achieved at scout level, they have to cover three forms of travel over 150km, and organise and fundraise for everything themselves.

The youngsters and a couple of scout leaders walked up the Bridal Path and on their travels found an old fella, Charlie, who was 99 years young, taking his firewood in.

So, like good Scouts, they did a good turn and helped him take the wood in.

The girls are: Georga Bent, Klara Harrison, Abbey Wills, Sierra Chambers and Shalie Gare from the Mania-O-Roto Zone.

Hinds Scout leader Lori Rusbatch said the girls got a real buzz out of helping Charlie out, but he wasn’t having too much help.

While the girls would’ve kept going and going, Lori said, Charlie was having none of that.

The 99-year-old would only let them do half the wood pile. He insisted that the girls leave him some to put away.

chopped 1 red onion, very finely sliced 1/2 C pickled jalapenos, finely chopped To serve 8-12 sliders (or 4-5 normal sized burger buns), halved 8-12 small bamboo skewers if doing sliders 2-3 cobs sweetcorn, cooked and sliced into shards Tomato relish ■ Patties: Place all the patty ingredients in a bowl, season and combine. Shape into 8-12 small patties (or 4 large ones). Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Preheat a BBQ or frying pan to a medium heat. Brush the patties with a little oil on both sides before cooking. The small slider patties will only need a few minutes on each side, turning once to brown both sides evenly, until

cooked through. If you have 4 large patties this will take a bit longer.

■ Jalapeno salsa: Combine all ingredients, drizzle with a little oil and lime juice and season as required.

■ Avocado cream: Combine all the ingredients and season as required. You can add more lime juice to taste.

■ To assemble: Spread avocado cream on the bottom bun and place the patty on top. Spread a good amount of the jalapeno salsa on top, followed by the corn, then spread the relish on the top bun. Press down gently and poke in the skewer to secure it. Serve immediately.

In brief Newcastle for sale Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley is ready to end his controversial reign after putting the Premier League club up for sale. Ashley has been a polarising figure at Newcastle since taking over at St James’ Park in 2007 and the sports retail tycoon has decided now is the time to step down. Newcastle have been relegated from the Premier League twice in the Ashley era, with the 53-year-old angering Magpies’ fans with his failed managerial appointments and his decision to sell naming rights to the club’s historic stadium.

Sun shines on croquet courts

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

It was a busy day in the sun at the Waireka Croquet Club for the Jeff Marshall Golf Croquet

Tournament which was held on Sunday.

Bruce Leath took out block A with 33 points, closely followed

by NZ Secondary Schools’ cham-

pion Christopher Spittal on 31 points. In block B, the top two were unable to be separated, with Bev Blair and Shelagh Field both finishing on 34 points.

Next weekend will see some of the top association croquet players descend on the Waireka Club for the MAGAK Tournament on October 21.

Peru climb into world football’s top 10 The All Whites will square off against a top-10 ranked Peru in next month’s home-and-away intercontinental World Cup playoff.

The latest Fifa rankings, released yesterday, show Peru has

climbed two places into 10th, their highest-ever position.

In contrast, New Zealand has dropped nine places and now sit a somewhat more modest 122nd in the world.

While it’s nowhere near the

All Whites’ best ranking of 49th, reached in 2002, there’s still a bit of leeway from the Kiwis’ lowest ebb of 151st in 2015.

Peru, who finished fifth in South American qualifying, travel to New Zealand and will play

the All Whites on November 11 in Wellington.

The return leg of the play-off for the 2018 World Cup in Russia will be played at Estadio Nacional de Lima in Peru’s capital on November 15.

Goodness knows what they made of this in India – although Everton manager Ronald Koeman is probably more concerned of the reaction in Monaco, where the club’s majority shareholder, Farhad Moshiri, resides. Having given the manager a vote of confidence going into the international break, after Everton’s woeful start to the season, Moshiri had added an important caveat: the supporters “deserve better”. The 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove wasn’t it. In a sense, Wayne Rooney sums them up. The 31-year-old was used as a central striker and struggled all game.

He will walk straight into a club in crisis, with the Roar’s owners having sacked managing director Mark Kingsman on Monday as part of a new “restructuring plan.”- AAP

The future generation of Mid Canterbury hockey players have done their coaches proud after giving 110 per cent at the recent Collier Trophy and Hatch Cup tournaments.

“It was a good tournament but a very hard tournament.

“The girls learnt lots and they should have a very good chance in the tournament next year,” Collier Trophy team coach Skip Muir said.

“It was a very enjoyable time.

“They were one of the best groups I’ve gone away with and if I had to describe it, what a journey.

“We drew with Counties Ma-

nukau, which I don’t think anyone expected, and the girls played brilliantly and put in 110 per cent effort.

“I couldn’t be any more proud of those girls.

“They just put everything into the games and I could see before the last game that they were just knackered,” Muir said.

Hatch Cup team coach Brendon Adam was also really pleased with how his team performed.

“We traditionally finish around there but the boys played well through pool play and the knockouts,” he said.

“Our pool only had a points difference of about 15 when there were others with over 40, so it was a very close pool.”

The team picked up big wins against Otago and Manawatu, sides he could not remember Mid Canterbury getting the better of in recent years.

Annual Leftis Tournament held at Ashburton Winners: Stableford – Janelle Lewis with 46pts; Nett – Bryan Donaldson 67; Gross – Jeremy Goodman 72; 2nd Lady – Jane Helmore.

Spinner Mitchell Santner will be drawing on memories from last year’s Twenty20 World Cup victory over India when the Black Caps play their first ODI later this week in Mumbai. Santner collected 4-11 in a man of the match performance as the New Zealanders crushed India by 47 runs in their first match of the 2016 tournament. The 25-year-old left-armer says there are a few key points the Black Caps can take from that match as they prepare to face India in three ODIs and three T20s.

Khawaja hits out Usman Khawaja has taken a swipe at Australian cricket selectors, questioning their policy for changing the team depending on where games are played. The 30-yearold is expected to bat at No.3 for Australia in this summer’s Ashes, having performed strongly in tests against South Africa and Pakistan last summer, but has since been overlooked for matches played in Asia. He says selectors continually changing the line-up has created instability in the team.

Takam was kept on standby should Kubrat Pulev not be available to challenge Joshua for his IBF, WBA and IBO world heavyweight titles, and has leaped at the chance to fill in after the Bulgarian injured a shoulder in training.

John Hay and Mighty Santana have them covered halfway down the straight at yesterday’s Ashburton workouts.

■ ASHBURTON FLYING STAKES

Iconic race in doubt

By Matt MarkhaM

Matt.M@theguardian.co.nz

The final makeup of Monday’s $50,000 Ashburton Flying Stakes won’t be known until later this morning, but there’s every possibility that a six-horse field made up of entirely one stable’s horses could face the starter in the flagship event for the Ashburton Trotting Club.

When nominations for the race closed on Monday afternoon, just six horses had entered the traditional New Zealand Trotting Cup lead-up race, with huge question marks hanging over two of the runners entered.

Club president, Craig Harrison

said that when they sat down to do the fields today whether the race gets off the ground would be determined by the number of horses remaining.

“We will run it if we have six, anything less and it will be in doubt,” Harrison said.

Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen made up four of the six nominations for the race and neither of the two with questions over them hailed from their stable.

Purdon and Rasmussen have shifted two of their other horses, Waikiki Beach and Piccadilly Princess over to the Flying Stakes from another, lower-grade race,

to join stablemates Lazarus, Heaven Rocks, Dream About Me and Have Faith In Me. Classie Brigade and Robbie Burns both remained in the nominations last night.

“It’s not an ideal situation to be in, especially with one of our biggest races of the season,” Harrison said. “But luckily we have a bit of moving room with some really strong nominations for our other races.”

Lazarus and Heaven Rocks both made an appearance at the Ashburton workouts yesterday – stepping out in a private heat in between workouts with a galloping pacemaker.

All eyes were on Heaven Rocks who mysteriously flopped at Addington a fortnight ago, but the post workout report from Rasmussen was encouraging.

“He felt really good,” she said.

“I thought they both did really nice work and it was encouraging ahead of Monday.”

Later in the day, Marcoola showed his class when winning a three-horse trot for Clint Ford.

The Group One winner galloped with a mile to run after trying to kick his driver out of the cart, but staged a tidy recovery to win comfortably ahead of Monday’s Ashburton Trotters’ Flying Mile.

■ VOLPE VELOCE

Trainers eyeing top sprinting double Multiple stakes winner Volpe Veloce might be set for feature sprint prizes during her next preparation.

The talented daughter of Foxwedge has been successful up to a mile in black type company, but trainers Graham Richardson and Gavin Parker have a pair of Group One 1200m events tagged as possible summer targets.

“We’re looking at the Railway and the Telegraph, we’re seriously thinking about them,” Richardson said.

Volpe Veloce was given a break after off tracks tripped the mare up when she was unplaced in both the Gr.1 Tarzino Trophy (1400m) and the Gr.1 Windsor Park Plate (1600m).

“She’s had a rest and she’ll be back next Monday,” Richardson said. “She looks fantastic.”

Volpe Veloce with Johnathan Parkes in the saddle.

Meanwhile, the stable will be represented by a number of resuming runners at Te Aroha

today, among them the highlyregarded Tiptronic.

He will open his four-year-old

campaign in the Donaghys Tasman Tim 1400m.

“You’ll see the best of him when he gets up a mile and-a-half, but he has been working very, very well,” Richardson said.

Runner-up in last season’s Gr.2 Great Northern Guineas (1600m), Tiptronic will be opposed by stablemates Pacquiao and Fame Seeker in the Rating 75 sprint.

Pacquiao has won two of his last four starts and has been freshened since last racing while Fame Seeker has improved with a Taupo outing last month under her belt.

The stable’s representation is completed by Darci Deniro (Donaghys PureFlush 1400m) and Flying Trapeze (Donaghys UdderMax 1200m), both horses back from spells.

Colt ready to shine Matamata three-year-old Summer Passage is in the right order to execute a back-up plan at Caulfield today. He will step out in the Gr.3 Blue Sapphire Stakes (1200m) after connections opted to bypass Saturday’s Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m), in which the colt would have jumped from the widest gate in a capacity field.

Chasing black type Rejuvenated sprinter Bullrush has fast-tracked his way into New Zealand stakes company. The Waikato Stud-bred and owned sprinter was unbeaten in his first five appearances from the Sydney yard of John, Michael and Wayne Hawkes before his form tapered off and he returned home to join Moira and Kieran Murdoch’s stable.

The O’Reilly six-year-old has responded positively to a change of environment, as evidenced by his front-running victory at Hastings. “He’s come through that race very well and I don’t want to step him up to 1400m at the moment so he’s going to run in the Legacy Lodge Sprint,” said Moira Murdoch.

Ashburton Guardian 17

In brief

■ HARNESS RACING

Monbet campaign all over Champion trotter Monbet has suffered a further setback in his attempt to return to the race track.

The Canterbury square-gaiter was due to have a workout at Ashburton yesterday, but a knee issue cropped up late last week and that plan has been abandoned.

He will now miss most of the summer racing schedule, says his co-trainer and co-owner, Greg Hope.

Oddly enough, Hope described the results of scans as “good news”.

“He had just been offloading from the knee they took the chips out of and on Friday that other knee blew up.

“As it’s transpired he’s burst a blood vessel and we feel a lot better having learnt that as we were worried it was something worse.

“But it’s just been one little thing after another with him this time in and we’ve decided to pull the pin on Cup week and the summer.”

Monbet, the two-time and reigning New Zealand Trotter of

Monbet with Ben Hope. the Year, has not raced since winning the Dominion Handicap at Addington on November 11 last year.

He was diagnosed with bone chips in a knee less than a month later and was operated on to remove them.

Hope and wife Nina brought the grouse son of Love You up

slowly through the winter in an effort to best aid his chances of a smooth return to racing.

He recently suffered a minor setback when some heat showed in a front leg which scans later revealed to be aggravation of scar tissue from a minor injury he suffered as a three-year-old.

That same knee that was oper-

ated on will now be the focus of a relatively new scientific process.

“We are going to do a stem cell transplant on the knee and that will hopefully repair that cartilage that has been missing since he was operated on.

“It will mean he has a couple of months out at least but we haven’t given up hope of having him back for the Rowe Cup.” Monbet’s record is unmatched by any trotter currently racing in New Zealand.

He has won 17 of his last 19 starts and 10 of his 23 career wins have come at Group 1 level for stakes in excess of $770,000.

For what it’s worth, Hope believes Monbet was coming up as good as ever this time in and has not lost any of his ability.

“He was training super and I had really been happy with him.

“He was going as good as, if not better than, the same time last year. But he’s only young for a trotter (six) and we don’t want to rush him. If we look after him now, he will repay us in the long run, hopefully.”

Kawi looking good Multiple Group One winner Kawi is back in work after time off following minor placings at the Hawke’s Bay carnival. He was fourth in the Tarzino Trophy (1400m) and third in the Gr.1 Windsor Park Plate (1600m), striking unsuitable soft tracks on both occasions.

“He’s had two weeks off and he looks magnificent,” trainer Allan Sharrock said.

- NZME

High hopes for filly Dublin Rose is tipped to give a bold account of herself at Te Aroha today. The O’Reilly two-year-old will debut in the NZB Insurance Pearl Series Race off the back of a smart effort at the Te Teko trials.

“She’s a very speedy filly who won her trial well,” co-trainer Jamie Richards said. “Her work has been good and we expect her to run very well.”

- NZME

Chocante coming home Plans for a Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) start for Chocante have been scrapped. The Stephen Marsh-trained stayer raced below expectations when seventh in Saturday’s St Leger Stakes (2600m) at Randwick and he will return home on the first available flight.

In brief

■ RUGBY

Kaino’s career on the line

By GreGor Paul It’s natural to assume that if Jerome Kaino is selected this week in Brisbane, he will be playing to protect his future.

But in actual fact, he’ll be doing what he can to protect his past.

It won’t be his career at stake – it will be his legacy as Kaino is in danger of being remembered for all the wrong reasons.

He’s played 81 tests, made thousands of telling tackles, scared the living daylights out of players across the globe, bled for the cause, hammered the ball up the middle of the field without a whimper for 12 seasons and deserved the right to sign off, when the time comes, as a great All Black.

If there are young blindsides emerging into the professional ranks not sure of expectations on how to fulfil their role, get them on youtube to watch tribute videos of Kaino and that will clear things up in five minutes.

Selfless, controlled and damaging have all been part of the Kaino portfolio.

He’s been somewhat focused on the need to be an enforcer and while there are memorable examples of his destructive tackling scattered across the last decade – his thunderous hit on Welsh lock Bradley Davies in 2010 and buckling of Digby Ioane in the World Cup being the best – in a sense they are actually misleading.

They hint of a player who looked for the spectacular hit rather than someone who was relentlessly driven to impose himself.

Former All Blacks halfback Alby Mathewson has been signed by French giants Toulon on an initial one-season deal. He joins fellow All Blacks Luke McAlister, Malakai Fekitoa and Ma’a Nonu at the French club. It’s Mathewson’s latest stop in a career which has taken him from the Hurricanes to the Blues to the Western Force and stints with Wellington, Hawke’s Bay and Canterbury.

- NMZE

Winning only option Bernard Foley is happy with the progress made by the Wallabies but says only a win against New Zealand on Saturday will give him satisfaction. Foley rates his men a huge chance of knocking off the All Blacks, having come within minutes of an upset in Dunedin on their last attempt, and sees Saturday as an opportunity to cash in on their upward trend.

- NZME

Garden-Bachop to Canes

The more telling evidence of Kaino’s influence has been in the detail of his statistics.

In the 2015 World Cup quarterfinal he managed a staggering 90 per cent of dominant tackles – a massive contributing factor to the incredible performance the All Blacks produced that night.

But here Kaino is now, with so much good behind him, and yet it could be that in time, mention of his name doesn’t evoke those classic memories, but instead it will ignite blokes across the country to nudge each other and make goofy smiles at one another.

Kaino’s off-field indiscretion

has the potential to wipe out 12 years of world class rugby and become the thing that he is tagged with for the rest of his days.

It can’t surely end like that for him? Kaino can’t let that be the way he signs off.

Steve Hansen acknowledged that Kaino has had limited rugby in the last few months.

“Probably not,” Hansen said when asked whether Kaino had enough football under his belt.

“But there is no other way.

“You can’t invent a game that is why we will have to pick and choose when we play him.”

All Kaino can do is hope that this week is deemed by Hansen

Daily Events Wednesday

Toulon sign Matthewson

to be the right one to give the vertan flanker game time.

And if it is, only Kaino can save himself after that by nailing whatever game time comes his way.

If he plays in Brisbane, everyone has to see classic Kaino.

There has to be compelling evidence that he’s still a world class force; still hungry and still a better prospect than the emerging Akira Ioane.

In short, Kaino needs a couple of big tests between now and the end of the year to restore some kind of balance in the public perception of what and who he is.

- NZME

Wellington first five-eighth Jackson Garden-Bachop has signed a twoyear deal with the Hurricanes. The 23-year-old, who made his Super Rugby debut last season with the Rebels, says he is keen to continue his career with his home club. “The Hurricanes have some world-class players, and I’m looking forward to learning off players like Beauden Barrett.”

- NZME

Ineligible for Wales Wales scrumhalf Rhys Webb will be ineligible to play for the national team next season under new selection policy guidelines introduced yesterday. Any player taking up a new contract outside Wales must have won 60 caps or more to be eligible to play for the country, the Welsh Rugby Union said. - PA

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Just because the solution is neat and plausible doesn’t make it right. You’ll investigate a little deeper, put theories to the test, ask opinions of the young and old-timers and, finally, get to the bottom of this.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You once felt so anchored into a certain belief system that you now, for reasons that are still forming, are starting to doubt. Let this be a sign that your mind is open, as great minds tend to be.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Your quickness to laugh might get you in trouble once in a while, but usually it’s an asset. You find it easier to get things done when you have a sense of humour.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Like a child who loads up a plate at the buffet and can’t eat it all, you’ve ambitions you may not be able to digest. Go in slowly. You can go back for more if needed.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Every single person on the earth has had past misfortunes, even a newborn baby (birth is no picnic): So you’ll be slow to call anyone out, honk your horn in traffic or get overly frustrated with the general inconvenience of other people.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): There are many things you can give a person that do not cost money and are in fact more valuable than money. Hope, kindness, attention and affection are free, and you’ll wisely be generous with them now.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The advances in thought come when you mix categories. This could mean genres, disciplines, cultures, genders, ages and more. Cross-pollination will bring the best solutions.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You’re at a crucial juncture in a project or relationship. You can’t stay where you are now, but there’s something blocking the path, too. Still, you can either find a way to move forward or find an excuse not to.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Some of the work you’ve been doing is unnecessary. You couldn’t have known what was necessary before you started. Drop the superfluous actions, you’ll get faster and more elegant.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Just because a person isn’t unkind doesn’t mean that person is good or right for you. Neglect is often worse than meanness. You deserve respect, attention and support. Are you getting enough of that?

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Even though there are miracles around to appreciate, not everything can be profound, because that would mean that nothing is. A new sense of purpose will help you prioritise and focus accordingly.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Measure the distance between you and the outcome you now desire to see if it’s even possible to get there in one move, because today’s problem isn’t like a ladder; it’s more like a chasm. It can’t be bridged in two steps.

Sport ‘I’m done with the Lions’ Warren Gatland says he’s “done” with coaching the Lions, Irish flanker Sean O’Brien’s criticism of his methods during the recent tour of New Zealand proving the final straw. Gatland says he hated the tour.

“I wouldn’t subject myself to that again.” O’Brien said the long-serving Welsh coach had pushed the players too hard. “I don’t know what planet he is on saying that,” Gatland said. ““You watch how hard the coaches and the backroom staff worked – they worked their absolute nuts off – and then to have someone [O’Brien] come out and make a comment like that ... it really, really did hurt.”

Mid Canterbury’s Nigel Cromie led the way after the first day of racing in the ITM World Championship Jetboat Marathon.

Smokin’ on the water

BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The calm serenity of the Rakaia River was shattered yesterday by the roar and smell of some of the quickest jetboats around.

Forty-forty boats are currently battling away in the ITM World Championship Jetboat Marathon, with racing resuming yesterday after the tragic accident that took the life of Duayne Insley.

Mid Canterbury’s Nigel Cromie is competing in the event, and led after the first day of racing.

Son of multiple world champion Mark Cromie, Nigel first started racing in 2013, and is competing for the first time in the unlimited category.

“I’ve been racing since 2013 but dad has been doing this for over 30 years and has got all the experience and know-how and really drives the team,” he said.

“

You are really flying by the seat of your pants

Cromie competed in the 2013 World Championships, but that year he competed in the lowest class of boat.

“These boats you are just touching the surface and there is a lot going on with stuff hitting you in the face and all the turbine noise,” he said.

“You are really flying by the seat of your pants.

“You just have to listen to your navigator as they are talking all the time and you really have to focus.”

Yesterday the boats made the trip from the Rakaia Lagoon to the Rakaia Gorge, with the

quickest boats covering the approximately 85 kilometre dash in around 30 minutes.

“When we really wind it up we are touching 225km/h,” Cromie said.

“At the end of the marathon you don’t want to see the boat for a while, but you always sort of crave getting back in to it.

“I guess I am always sort of doing something fast.”

Cromie led the field after the two stages that were held on the Waimakariri River, something that came as a pleasant surprise.

“We weren’t expecting it really.

“We knew we were quick

Santner ready to do battle with India P15

but only expected to be about third,” he said.

While he hoped to turn local experience on the Rakaia into some gains in time, it was the stages in Queenstown that he is looking forward to the most.

“Down in Queenstown we know the rivers quite well, so we will be really targeting to go hard on those,” he said.

After the two stages on the Rakaia River, Cromie dropped to fourth place after a mechanical failure forced him to withdraw from the downstream stage, which has now put the rest of his race in doubt.

Mike Pooley currently leads with a total time of one hour, 42 minutes and 44 seconds.

Racing resumes today on the Waitaki River, with both an upstream and downstream stage, before the event continues its way south, finishing on the Lake Wakatipu, Frankton Arm Circuit.

At 35, England quick James Anderson is in career-best form ahead of the Ashes according to Steve Waugh.

But the former skipper believes Australia’s pace arsenal will prove the difference against a “fragile” England batting line-up. At an age when most speedsters consider retirement, Anderson has been tipped to lead the way for England in the wake of the Ben Stokes controversy. Anderson has not ruled out playing beyond the 2021-22 Ashes until he is in his 40s.

Ox may be starter Liverpool’s deadline-day signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be in line for his first Champions League start for the club after impressing manager Jurgen Klopp. The England international has featured in eight matches since his STG35million arrival from Arsenal but has made only one start, failing to impress at Leicester.

However, he enjoyed an encouraging late cameo from the bench against Manchester United at the weekend and that could be enough to get him a place in the team against Maribor.
