Stolen guns may be in gang hands Police believe two rifles stolen from a Tinwald business may have found their way into gang hands.

The information came to light in the Ashburton District Court yesterday when Samuel Bryce Anglem appeared on burglary charges.

Police prosecutor senior sergeant Mike Wingfield told the court Anglem and an associate had driven to Simply Pet Foods on Archibald Street at around 11pm on July 1.

The pair entered an adjacent building, which was vacant at the time. Anglem’s associate used an implement to force open a window into the complainant’s

staffroom. Once inside the men searched the premises and found firearms in an unlocked vehicle inside the building.

They removed a .223 calibre rifle in a canvas bag, a .22 rifle and a small amount of .22 ammunition and left them on the ground outside the premises at the point they intended to exit from.

Anglem and his associates then returned to the premises to break into two cabinets before departing with a small amount of cash and a company cheque book, collecting the firearms before driving off with Anglem at the wheel.

Defence lawyer Paul Bradford said his client was keen to attend a restorative

justice conference. Anglem has been held in custody since his arrest on Friday.

Mr Wingfield told Judge Gary MacAskill police opposed bail due to concerns the stolen firearms had been sold to a gang “well known to New Zealand police”.

Judge MacAskill convicted and remanded Anglem in custody for sentencing on August 29.

While acknowledging Anglem’s prior offending put him out of reach for a community detention sentence, Mr Bradford said it could be within the range for home detention and the judge asked the presentence report to investigate the option.

■ CANCER SOCIETY

Pretty in pink ball raises $23,000

Pretty in Pink ball-goers can tip their champagne flutes to a job well done – their night out has raised $23,000 for the Mid Canterbury Cancer Society.

The ball was held earlier this month in a hangar at the Ashburton Airport and about 250 people seized the opportunity to dress in their finery, and eat and dance for a good cause.

Cancer Society community support worker Annie Bonifant said it was the society’s biggest individual donation outside the Relay for Life event.

The money will remain in Mid Canterbury helping cancer sufferers.

Mrs Bonifant said one in three people were affected by cancer in their lifetime and the money would help look after them. “It will be spent on welfare and petrol and grocery vouchers, or to pay for childcare or things like firewood.”

She said the society spent $20,000 alone last year on petrol vouchers helping cancer sufferers cover the cost of regular trips to Christchurch for radiation treatment, and oncologist or doctor visits.

The society put on regular free transport to Christchurch and also paid for about 40 trips in private cars each month. Pretty

in Pink organiser Di Thomas said it was the third pink ball for charity held since 2009 and the most successful in terms of proceeds. Tickets sold out within a

month of the event and more had to be printed to keep up with demand.

Mrs Thomas said local businesses had been generous sup-

porting the event by supplying items for a silent auction.

The ball organisers are also planning a high tea fundraiser on October 9.

Ashburton Police are warning Tinwald people about a crime family living in their midst.

Senior sergeant Scott Banfield said officers had been responding to an increasing number of complaints in the area and police were aware a criminal family and associates had recently moved from Ashburton into the Tinwald area.

Police strongly suspected the group of contributing to the increase in dishonesty offending and are urging residents to be vigilant and not leave valuable items in parked vehicles.

They also say garages and outbuildings should be locked.

Mr Banfield said this month and last month police had dealt with an increase in reports of cars being broken into and cash and property removed and theft from outbuildings.

The offending was usually at night.

“If you observe any persons acting suspiciously in and around parked motor vehicles or businesses please call 111 and notify police, a patrol will be dispatched to investigate.”

He said police will continue to identify and target criminals and work with individuals, community groups and government agencies to make Ashburton a safer community.

Any information can be forwarded in confidence to the Ashburton Police 3078424 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers 0800 555 111.

■ CAR CRASH

Eight escape serious injury

By CoLin engeLBreCht coLin.e@theuardian.co.nz

Eight people were lucky to have escaped serious injury after a three-vehicle crash on Hinds Highway north of the town yesterday.

St John said two adults and three children were transported to Ashburton Hospital for treat-

ment following the crash about 3pm.

Sergeant Janine Bowden said the crash happened when a southbound vehicle crossed the centre line and collided with a northbound vehicle. A third vehicle was also involved.

The highway was closed while emergency services attended the

scene; Sergeant Bowden said the road was reopened at about 4pm.

The other three patients were treated at the scene.

NZ Transport Agency had advised drivers to expect delays along State Highway 1 as a result of the crash.

Northbound drivers heading towards Ashburton were de-

toured at Hinds along Hinds Lismore Road, then Winslow Road andvback on to State Highway 1.

Southbound drivers were delayed a short time while a lane was opened around the crash.

Sergeant Bowden said people needed to plan their trip well in advance so they had plenty of time to travel and to adjust their

speed to the conditions.

She said it was school holidays and people needed to accept there would be more traffic on the roads and they also needed to be aware of the possibility of ice on the roads.

The Hinds Fire Brigade attended a minor crash on Peters Street in Hinds just after 5.00pm as well.

■ CAR CRASH

Suspect flees after causing car crash

BY COLIN ENGELBRECHT COLIN.E@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A driver has fled the scene after allegedly causing a three-vehicle crash on Methven Highway on Saturday evening.

Senior Constable Mike Seque said police were still searching yesterday for a suspect after the crash on the intersection of Methven Highway and Thompson’s Track.

He said a Subaru station wagon went through a give way sign on Thompson’s Track and collided with a Mitsubishi SUV, flipping it and pushing it into a Nissan SUV,

which was stopped at the give way on the opposite side. The driver of the Subaru fled the scene on foot and a police dog was deployed.

The suspect managed to evade police and they are continuing the search.

Constable Seque said the Subaru was estimated to be going between 70km/h or 80km/h when it collided with the Mitsubishi which was travelling at 100km/h.

A St John ambulance crew assessed seven patients at the scene but took no-one to hospital, all injuries were minor.

Constable Seque said there were two children in the upturned Mitsubishi who were quite distressed by the incident.

Highway Patrol Sergeant Steve Burgerhout said people needed to plan their trips well in advance so they were not rushing.

He said it was better people arrived safely from their journey rather than an hour early.

Sergeant Burgerhout said people also needed to be aware of black ice because the weather is getting colder, especially on rural roads.

Police calling on PokemonGo players Police have called on people out “chasing” Pokemons on their smartphones on Friday night, to come forward with vital information after a streetside robbery in central Greymouth.

A female tour guide was robbed of her purse – reported to be carrying $1000 – while walking on Mawhera Quay near the Kingsgate Hotel about 8.30pm on Friday.

“It is noted that due to the Pokemon craze a number of people were out and about and someone may have vital information that will assist police and are urged to contact us,” West Coast police area prevention manager senior sergeant Vicki Walker said yesterday.

The incident began with a struggle between the victim and a young man, who wrangled her handbag from her.

“He made off with a quantity of money and the victim was able to retrieve her handbag. No injuries were suffered as a result of the struggle,” Ms Walker said.

The thief is described as Caucasian, short, about 162cm tall and aged between 19 and about 23 years. He was thin, wearing a black baseball cap and appeared clean shaven.

He was dressed in a long sleeved top with no hood. The top sleeves were black and the rest of it was red. He was also wearing black pants and black shoes.

It gets down to -35 degrees Celsius during winter in Romania.

You could probably throw boiling water into the air and it would rain ice drops.

Shirley Maw and her crowd of parish knitters might not have experienced such cold, but they are not without compassion for the needy who struggle in Europe’s harsh temperatures.

They spend their Mid Canterbury evenings knitting or crocheting woollen blankets, jerseys, beanies and socks then get together once a year to bale it up for shipping off to those shores.

The parishes of St James, St David’s and St Andrew’s are involved and yesterday church members filled up their cars and drove to Alan and John Blair’s Lagmhor farm, where the knitted goods were packed up, put into wool packs and pressed for shipping.

The packs will be trucked to

Lyttelton, where they will go by sea to Europe and be distributed by Mission Without Borders to orphanages and needy people in Romania, Ukraine or Moldova.

The Mid Canterbury knitting group has been running for more than a decade and Shirley said it allowed them to indulge their passion for knitting or crochet by giving them a charitable purpose.

The group’s woollens are usually enough to fill three wool bales.

The group is always on the lookout for wool to knit and sometimes even unravels old garments to reknit into more serviceable items.

■ BUSINESS MID CANTERBURY

Ashford’s success inspires Business Mid Canterbury (BMC) members visited Ashford Handicrafts last week to explore how the Ashburton business stays on top in a competitive world.

Ashford Handicrafts employs 33 people at its manufacturing enterprise which exports spinning wheels, weaving looms, fibres and yarns.

Members learned that Ashford management engaged in intensive soul-searching following a strong Kiwi dollar disadvantaging exporters in 2012.

“We had to become more efficient or lose market share,” director Richard Ashford said.

Mr Ashford said the company adopted manufacturing streamlining principles after he learned about these at a Lean workshop.

Lean is a philosophy of business improvement which originated in Japanese manufacturing, and has since been taken up by high performing businesses around the world, including several in Mid Canterbury.

Mr Ashford said Lean principles also enabled the company to get on top of logistical issues around stock supply and space limitations.

And the company had improved its internal communication, through initiatives such as daily supervisor meetings and a suggestion board making it easier for staff to submit ideas.

Giving women confidence in a challenging time is the goal of next Tuesday’s Look Good Feel Better class.

The Hinds meeting will run from 1.30-3pm at the church hall on David Street, while the Methven meeting will be at the Methven Heritage Centre that night 7-8.30pm.

A cast list for the Mid Canterbury Children’s Theatre production of Cinderella published last week accidentally left off the names of several children playing roles as villagers. They were Cole Nicholson, Millie Christie, Jessica Lamb, Hunter Stacey, Piper Harvey and Lara Dolphin.

Rehearsals for the show start this weekend.

NZ Black Stars Business Mid Canterbury members learn about Ashford’s business philosophy.

Handicrafts last week was business improvement coach Gary Gillians, a BMC member and Lean expert.

Mr Gillians said Ashford Handicrafts was a fine example of Lean as “a transformational process”.

His main focus was the value of communication, something many businesses could learn

from. “Every business I have been to, the biggest issue at every level of the business is communication.

The guys at the top don’t know what’s going on at the bottom, and the guys at the bottom don’t know what’s going on at the top.

There seems to be a vast gulf between the two, even though

they both work at the same place,” Mr Gillians said.

BMC spokesman Rene Artz said the site visit was one of several planned to Mid Canterbury Lean businesses throughout the year. He wanted to see more Mid Canterbury businesses join BMC so they could learn about the benefits Lean could offer.

They are also taught how to properly draw on eyebrows and to put on eyeliner to give the appearance of eyelashes.

The last half-hour is dedicated to coping with hair loss, includ-

ing demonstrations with wigs and turbans.

Women are often referred to the classes by their doctor or oncologist who will also have to sign off on their application form if they decide they want to attend.

The forms can be found on the Look Good Feel Better website and include a section about personal details like eye and hair

colour, as well as preferred eye shadow and lipstick colour.

There are over 30 hubs around the country so no woman should have to travel more than 30 minutes to get to a class.

Look Good Feel Better is not part of the Cancer Society, however, the two groups work closely together and the Cancer Society provides the venues for the classes.

■ LAKE HOOD TRIP

Boat stolen off side of road

By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

Just a matter of hours was all it took for Daniel Heslip’s boat to be stolen.

Mr Heslip was on his way back from a Queen’s Birthday Weekend trip out to Lake Hood when the trailer his boat was on got a punctured tyre.

Unfortunately his spare tyre was flat so he had to leave the boat on the corner of Lills and

Maronan roads while he drove back to Fairlie to do repairs.

By the time Mr Heslip got back to where he left his boat it was all gone. “It’s a pretty distinct boat, if someone were to see it it’s pretty recognisable,” he said.

Mr Heslip said he and his mate have owned the red and white Glastron fibreglass hull boat for the past five or six years.

“Wherever it is it’ll be sitting in someone’s shed. “I reckon it’ll be

back out on Lake Hood this summer,” he said.

Mr Heslip said he never normally goes out to Lake Hood, but they were taking his kids out on a final cruise before winter.

He said the boat has a lot of sentimental value. “It’s worth a lot more to me than it’s insured for,” he said. Anyone who has seen the boat or knows any information on its whereabouts should call 027 531- 5317.

Daniel Heslip’s Glastron boat last seen on the corner of Lills and Maronan Road on Queen’s Birthday Weekend.

ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT NEWS

Man assaults ex-partner, throttles kitten A man who drank wine directly from a cask before assaulting his former partner and throttling a kitten has been told all sentencing options will be open when he returns to court next month.

Dean Geoffrey Smallbridge, of Ashburton, admitted charges of assault, wilful damage, animal cruelty and possessing cannabis when he appeared before Judge Gary MacAskill in the Ashburton District Court yesterday.

The court was told Smallbridge had been drinking wine and home-brewed beer at his home on June 25.

The couple were play fighting when he took umbrage to the complainant “playfully” pulled his goatee beard and reacted by poking her in the eye with some force.

He later awoke the complainant in an argumentative mood, prompting her to leave the home.

When she returned she found the television had been smashed.

When the complainant denied knowing where his cigarettes and cannabis were, Smallbridge picked up a six-month-old kitten by the neck and choked it in front of her before dropping it on the bed, saying: “I just choked Bob.” The kitten was unresponsive but later recovered.

Following his arrest police found Smallbridge to be in possession of a small tin of cannabis.

He will be sentenced on August 29. Judge MacAskill ordered the presentence report include all sentencing options.

Mailbox rampage A rampage after a night out during which six mailboxes were damaged has cost a young man close to $2500.

Joshua John Moffat’s offending occurred in the early hours of June 25 as he walked along a New Plymouth street.

The occupier of one address targeted by Moffat awoke to the sound of his mailbox being destroyed and followed him in his vehicle before reporting the offending to police.

When questioned, Moffat initially denied wrecking the mailboxes but later admitted to being the culprit.

He has now relocated to Rakaia to work, and appeared in the Ashburton District Court yesterday to answer to six counts of wilful damage.

Judge Gary MacAskill queried the cost of $517 requested as reparation by the owners of one of the mailboxes.

Police prosecutor senior sergeant Mike Wingfield told the court the repair costs had involved concrete work and verified the amount was correct.

Moffat was ordered to pay fines of $800, court costs of $780, and reparations of $860.

Third strike A third conviction for drink driving has cost a young woman her liberty, but she could be back behind the wheel in three months.

Sharon Sandra Kanta, 29, of Southbridge, returned an evidential breath test of 1571 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath when she was stopped by police.

The high reading is more than six times the lower limit of 250mcg/l imposed in 2014 for drivers over 20 years of age.

Kanta had two previous convictions for drink driving both incurred on the same day in 2011.

She was sentenced to 18 weeks home detention during which she is not to possess or use alcohol or illegal drugs and to attend counselling as directed by probation services.

Kanta was disqualified from driving for a mandatory threemonth period after which she has permission to apply for an alcohol

interlock licence which requires a device to be fitted to the vehicle to prevent it starting if any alcohol is detected on her breath.

After the device is removed Kanta must apply for and use a zero alcohol licence for three years.

Judge Gary MacAskill said if home detention had not been an option Kanta would be going to prison.

Noncompliance When attending to an 80-hour community work sentence handed down for drink driving last year became an ordeal Courtney Paige Dempsey opted out.

Yesterday the 21-year-old was left in no doubt what Judge Gary MacAskill thought of her reasons, when he remanded her into custody in the Ashburton District Court cells.

Dempsey faced sentencing on two charges of breaching the community work sentence and a review of the sentence, requested by probation services.

Defence lawyer Douglas Brown had requested the community work sentence be converted to community detention, with an 8pm to 6am sentence.

He told the court Dempsey received $210 a week on a benefit

and paid $200 in board, leaving her with just $10 for travel expenses.

Judge MacAskill was not swayed by her plight, suggesting she obtained a bicycle.

“Your client is here facing a custodial sentence for noncompliance,” he said.

“I need to be persuaded she can’t do community work.

“The usual reaction of the court for people who don’t do their community work is they go to jail.”

On returning to the courtroom, Dempsey had reviewed the situation and committed to completing the outstanding 64 hours and had made arrangements with family members to transport her to community work.

Judge MacAskill said many people request community detention to evade the impact community work imposes on their lifestyles, but Dempsey had no reasonable explanation for her persistent noncompliance.

He warned her any further breaches would result in a prison term, before sentencing her to four months community detention with an amended curfew of 7pm to 6am on the breach charges. Dempsey’s compliance with the existing community work sentence will be monitored.

Marine kills policemen

BY SAM KARLIN A decorated former US Marine sergeant has opened fire on police in Baton Rouge, killing three officers.

It came nearly two weeks after the fatal police shooting of a black man there sparked nationwide protests, including one shattered by the massacre of five Dallas policemen.

The suspect, dressed in black and armed with a rifle, was shot to death minutes later in a gunfight with police who converged on the scene of a confrontation that Mayor Kip Holden said began as an “ambush-style” attack on officers.

Two Baton Rouge Police Department officers and one sheriff’s deputy were killed, and one sheriff’s deputy was critically wounded.

Another police officer and one other deputy suffered less severe wounds and are expected to survive.

Colonel Mike Edmonson, superintendent of the Louisiana State Police, told a news conference the gunman was believed to have acted alone.

It was not immediately clear whether there was a link between yesterday’s bloodshed and unrest over the police killings of two black men under questionable circumstances earlier this month - Alton Sterling, 37, in Baton Rouge on July 5, and Philando Castile, 32, near St Paul, Minnesota, on July 6.

Police did not name the suspect but a US government

Flowers and crosses are left at the entrance to the Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge yesterday.

PHOTO AP official told Reuters the gunman had been identified as Gavin Long, of Kansas City,

Missouri, and was black.

He was reported by other media to be 29 years old.

According to Long’s military record, released by the Pentagon, he served in the Marines from August 2005 until August 2010, achieving the rank of sergeant.

Listed as a data network specialist for the Marines, he was deployed to Iraq from June 2008 until January 2009, earning several medals and commendations.

A second government source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said investigators had reason to believe an emergency 911 call may have been used to lure police.

Edmonson said several officers came under fire as police were responding to a report of a man who was dressed in black standing behind a store holding a rifle shortly before 9 am.

President Barack Obama has condemned the attack and vowed that justice will be done and called on Americans to focus on rhetoric and actions that united the country rather than divided it.

The wave of violence has heightened security concerns across the country, notably in Cleveland and Philadelphia, cities hosting to this week’s Republican National Convention and next week’s Democratic National Convention, respectively, which are expected to formally nominate Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton for the November 8 election.

In a Facebook posting on Sunday afternoon Trump said, “We demand law and order”.

■ PAKISTAN

Honour killer ‘not embarrassed’ The brother of a murdered Pakistani celebrity said he killed her after she refused to stop posting provocative photos and videos on Facebook.

Muhammad Waseem said he was “not embarrassed” to have killed Qandeel Baloch despite the death leading to calls for action against the ‘epidemic’ of honour killings.

The strangling of Miss Baloch, 26, a controversial figure in deeply conservative Muslim Pakistan for posting selfies and videos that would appear tame by Western standards, has prompted a wave of shock and revulsion.

Her brother was arrested on Sunday, Multan City police chief Azhar Akram said, and confessed to drugging then strangling her “for honour”.

“Yes of course, I strangled her,” Waseem said at a press conference, organised by police, early yesterday.

“She was on the ground floor while our parents were asleep on the rooftop,” he continued.

“It was around 10.45pm when I gave her a tablet ... and then killed her.’

Waseem said he acted alone.

He added: ‘I am not embarrassed at all over what I did.

“Whatever was the case, it (his sister’s behaviour) was completely intolerable.’

Miss Baloch, believed to be in her 20s and whose real name was Fauzia Azeem, rose to fame for her Facebook posts that saw her praised by some for breaking social taboos but condemned by conservatives.

She was killed on Saturdayday night at her family’s home near Multan.

Up to 100 officers were gathered outside her family’s home in Muzzafarabad, preventing neighbours from gathering.

Five ambulances were also parked nearby.

Qandeel Baloch The model shared hundreds of videos of her dancing in minimal clothing with her 123,000 Instagram followers.

Waseem went on the run and was arrested in the neighbouring Muzaffargarh district.

Hundreds of women are murdered for ‘honour’ every year in Pakistan.

The killers overwhelmingly walk free because of a law that allows the family of the victim to forgive the murderer – who is often also a relative.

Filmmaker Sharmeemn Obaid-Chinoy, whose documentary on honour killings won an Oscar earlier this year, slammed Miss Baloch’s murder as symptomatic of an epidemic of violence against women in Pakistan.

She joined other liberals in Pakistan who called for antihonour killing legislation.

Some of Miss Baloch’s more notable acts included volunteering to perform a striptease for the Pakistani cricket team and donning a plunging scarlet dress on Valentine’s Day. Initially dismissed as a Kim Kardashian-like figure, Miss Baloch was seen by some as empowered in a country where women have fought for their rights for decades. - AP

T-shirts cause outrage A new range of t-shirts aimed at boys as young as five has been labelled inappropriate, forcing fashion retailer Forever 21 to withdraw the collection.

Printed with slogans such as, “Sorry ladies I only date models,” “Ladies man,” and “Chicks are all over me,” the collection of t-shirts were created for boys aged five to 14 years. Outrage was sparked by a tweet from Miss Representation, who shared an image of one of the shirts and wrote: “What messages are we sending out kids with these t-shirts?”

Bachelor wants to dance Jordan Mauger proved he had the gift of the gab with the ladies during The Bachelor NZ — but a video that circulated last month showed his dancing moves weren’t so flash. Now Mauger — who remains single two months after the dating show’s finale aired — is on a mission to show the country he has potential on the dance floor; putting himself forward for the upcoming series of Dancing With The Stars. The 32-yearold said he had been told to give the show a go by former girlfriend, 2015 Bachelor contender and DWTS runner-up Chrystal Chenery. “My dancing is not all that flash but I do have a bit of rhythm, it would be great fun.”

Lovato single again Cool For the Summer hitmaker Demi Lovato enjoyed a brief fling with mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Guilherme Vasconcelos shortly after she dumped her long-term lover Wilmer Valderrama last month but it seems their romance has now come to a halt due to her globetrotting career. A source told People. com: “They [Demi and Guilherme] had a quick fling but it’s over now.” Demi’s new romance came just weeks after she had called time on her relationship with Wilmer, whom she had dated on and off for six years, because they were better off as friends.

■ ROSS ASSET MANAGEMENT

Investors reach $4.5m settlements The liquidator of Ross Asset Management has cut deals totalling $4.5 million with 16 investors and is in talks with a number of others about reaching settlements.

PwC’s John Fisk is seeking to recover as much as possible of the $100 million-to-$115 million of investor money frittered away in the country’s biggest Ponzi scheme.

In his latest update, Fisk said claims against 65 investors are subject to standstill agreements, where the liquidator has agreed not to issue proceedings until an upcoming Supreme Court hear-

ing is ruled on, in exchange for the investor not challenging them as being time-barred.

So far, two investors have refused to enter into the agreements, which led to legal proceedings being issued against them, although one of those has since settled, Fisk said in his report.

Another 16 settled with the liquidator to avoid the threat of future litigation for a combined value of $4.5 million, of which $1.5 million was received at the time of the report on July 15.

omy, growing capacity pressures and broadening housing and credit largesse, cutting the OCR again is not without risks,” ANZ senior economist Philip Borkin said in a note.

“However, given low headline inflation, already soft inflation expectations and the strong NZD, it does look like the RBNZ will be dragged back to the easing table once again.”

The kiwi dollar trade-weighted index dropped to 75.52 from 76.31 immediately before the release, while two-year swap rates fell about 6 basis points to 2.12 per cent.

A slower-than-expected pace of inflation has added to the case for an interest rate cut next month as a strong New Zealand dollar continues to keep a lid on imported prices.

Government data yesterday showed the consumers price index rose 0.4 per cent in the June quarter from a year earlier, missing the Reserve Bank’s estimate of 0.6 per cent inflation and tracking below the bank’s target band for annual inflation of 1-to-3 per cent for the seventh straight quarter.

Tradables inflation, which includes goods and services that compete with imported rivals, fell 1.5 per cent from a year earlier as a strong kiwi dollar contin-

ued to make overseas purchases cheaper. Non-tradables inflation, which measures domestic price increases, rose 1.8 per cent from a year earlier.

Traders are pricing in a 74 per cent chance the Reserve Bank will cut the official cash rate a quarter-point to 2 per cent on August 11 when it will next review policy, and the bank’s unscheduled economic update this Thursday will be keenly watched for words to that effect.

Economists at ANZ Bank New Zealand, ASB Bank, Westpac Banking Corp and Capital Economics said the CPI data added to the case for lower rates next month, as did currency traders at HiFX. “We still believe that in a backdrop of a strong domestic econ-

Van Keulen said throughout the disciplinary process Envirowaste had blurred two allegations, that McLeod attended work under the influence of drugs and that McLeod failed a drug test. There were “a myriad of reasons” as to why Envirowaste’s decision to dismiss McLeod was unjustified, he said.

“In short, Envirowaste acted in an inherently unfair manner in dismissing Mr McLeod.”

The company could have exercised discretion and offered McLeod rehabilitation, which may have meant he could keep his job, Van Keulen said.

He awarded McLeod be reimbursed $21,306 in lost wages and $11,000 in compensation for his hurt and humiliation. - NZME

A rubbish truck driver who lost his job after he failed a workplace drug test has been awarded $32,300 after he took a claim of unjustified dismissal to the Employment Relations Authority.

Gary McLeod was employed as a truck driver for Envirowaste in Christchurch from January 2013 when, after Easter Weekend in 2015, he was asked to submit a random drug test.

The test returned a positive response for THC – the main mindaltering ingredient found in cannabis – and McLeod was asked to attend a disciplinary meeting.

McLeod said he had attended a party on Easter weekend and he had been drunk, but couldn’t remember smoking cannabis at the party and wondered if the positive result could be by second-hand smoke.

He instructed a lawyer to represent him and submitted a second drug test, which was negative. A second meeting was held and McLeod was subsequently dismissed from his position at

“

Don’t speed. Don’t drive after drinking or taking drugs. It’s just not worth it.

I

’ll never forget attending my first serious road crash as a reporter.

A truck was hanging over the side of a bridge and the driver was trapped inside. There had been a fire in the cab and the man was screaming.

The place was swarming with emergency services, all volunteers.

I’ll never forget going to another crash just shy of Christmas.

A car had been split in two and the presents were still wrapped up on the back seat.

In yet another crash, two dead bodies were in a car hauled from a river.

I have lost count of the number of times I have heard a judge say driving is not a right, it is a privilege.

Over the years I have seen a fraction of the real-life drama.

Emergency services see it all, whether they are paid to or not.

So take a look at your driving, whether you are 16 or 60.

Don’t speed. Don’t drive after drinking or taking drugs. It’s just not worth it.

Emergency services have been busy over the holidays attending crashes in our district.

These crashes are completely avoidable if only people had stuck to a few basic rules.

If it is icy in the morning clear your windscreen before backing out the drive and peering through a small hole; wait an extra 15 seconds before you see an actual gap in the traffic to pull out.

Pay attention and don’t text or use your cellphone when you drive.

Pokemon Go and drive?

Don’t even think about it.

If you are wondering why cars are parked up or being driven slowly along West Street or Baring Square East, it’s because it’s a Pokestop.

I chauffeured a Pokemon catcher three times around this block this week.

I’d rather be driving in search of Pikachu than driving to the hospital.

his last week I had the pleasure of attending and speaking on behalf of Federated Farmers, at an event at Massey University to celebrate the career of Professor Peter Munro.

He has been at the forefront of dairy research and development at Massey University, the Dairy Research Institute and Fonterra’s Research and Development Centre (FRDC).

After many decades of tireless work on behalf of the dairy industry, Professor Munro has decided to hang up the lab coat and enjoy his retirement.

There were many speakers at the event that had worked with Peter over the years and went through not just the fantastic work he had done, but also what all researchers had done on behalf of the industry.

It was a story of the evolution of dairy research in New Zealand.

One point of discussion that was mentioned many times was around the move of the UK into the then EEC (now EU) back in

Andrew Hoggard FROM THE FARM

1973. This proved to be a pivotal point for research in the New Zealand dairy industry.

Up until that point our industry was just focused on sending butter and cheese to the UK. With the potential loss of that market, there were two options, pack up or go hard.

Thankfully, our industry leaders choose the “go hard” option.

What this meant was that investment and personnel in the research centre tripled.

The industry focused on new markets and new products and we all know the story from there.

But as was pointed out by a number of the participants of those times, our industry has let that level of investment slide.

I was told our percentage

spend on research was 1.5 per cent it is now at 0.4 per cent.

The question that was posed by a number of people was, if our answer to a looming crisis back in the early 1970s was to think long-term and invest more in research, perhaps a similar attitude might be appropriate right now?

This then comes back to us as farmers. Are we willing to make that investment? It’s all well and good for us to blame the board or senior management, but I would question whether or not they aren’t just responding to our demands for cash.

Which without a doubt we need and we definitely don’t want to be just spending money for the sake of it. But we do need to be investing for the future.

An excellent diagram was shown which I think has morphed into the culture of the FRDC and that was a lightbulb in the middle with arrows pointing out to dollar signs.

Which was all about showing that ideas need to translate into value, not just ideas for ideas’

sake. I think that is perfectly summed up by Professor Munro’s statement when he was asked of the thing that he was most proud of in his career, and that was, “creating value for the New Zealand dairy farmer”.

So once again, many thanks to Professor Munro and all those others who work away on our behalf adding value to our milk.

One final point as we head into the calving season, just a reminder for all farmers to be aware of the changes to animal welfare laws and also be aware of how aspects of farming can be portrayed online by someone not wanting to paint it in the best light.

Make sure you not only preach high standards to staff but also practise them yourself.

Everyone has a camera in their pocket these days and you can go from being a complete nobody to globally trending in just a day.

ECan to crack down on winter

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Environment Canterbury is poised to crack down on winter burning in designated clean air zones, regardless of district council provisions.

ECan has received a number of complaints about smoke created by the burning of green waste in rural localities this winter.

Regional manager of monitoring and compliance Marty Mortiaux said residents in areas zoned for rural activities and covered by designated clean air zones were only permitted to burn between September 1 and April 30.

Clean air zones are in place for Ashburton, Rakaia, Hinds, Mayfield and Mt Somers townships.

“When we have followed up on complaints, we have found that many of the alleged offenders have a permit to burn from the district council. However, the residents were unaware of Environment Canterbury’s regional rules and didn’t realise that they cannot burn during the winter months,” he says.

“We’re going to actively follow up on rural and residential burning complaints by identifying the properties involved and investigating the circumstances.”

Mid-South Canterbury deputy principal fire officer Don Geddes said Mid Canterbury now falls under a single fire authority governed by the Forest and Rural Fires Act, which covers the area between the Waitaki and Rakaia rivers.

“Permits for outdoor burning are not required under the legislation that we administer, however ECan have created a Canterbury Air Regional Plan, which became active in March last year.”

This piece of legislation focuses on protecting life and property.

ECan’s brief under the Resource

Don Geddes

Management Act deals with environmental protection covering air, water and soil.

In the case of burning within clean air zones the rules have been

put in place to manage smoke nuisance.

“Around the perimeter of Ashburton there are fire management zones and there is a permanent ban on all outdoor burning

around all residential areas in the region,” Mr Geddes said.

Over and above that, ECan manages an area extending about a kilometre out around the Ashburton township, known as Clean Air

Zone 2, which prohibits winter burning.

“If people want to burn paper, wood or vegetation, only clean organic material, outside the clean air zones as far as I’m aware,

burning THE RULES

■ SOUTH ISLAND WOOL AUCTION

Demand for longer wools strengthens at SI auction

The following conditions must be met for the summer burning green waste in a clean air zone: ■ Burn only vegetation, paper, cardboard or untreated wood from your own property and up to two adjacent properties.

■ The fire must be 100m upwind or 50m in any other direction from any sensitive activity, for example schools, dwelling or gathering places such as churches or community centres.

■ Material to be burnt must be left to dry for at least 6 weeks or the fire must be located at least 200m from any sensitive activity. If within 5km of an urban area; burning can only occur when wind speed is between 1 and 15km/hr.

■ If the burn is likely to occur for three or more days, a smoke management plan is required.

■ The smoke must not cause a nuisance beyond your property boundary.

■ To report a fire nuisance or illegal fire, call the Pollution Hotline: 0800 765-588.

■ To find out what Clean Air Zone you are in visit: www.canterburymaps. govt.nz ■ For more information on outdoor burning phone: 0800 324-676.

Demand for longer wools strengthened at last week’s South lsland auction.

New Zealand Wool Services International Limited’s CEO John Dawson said a more varied offering resulted in targeted buying with better demand for the longer wools.

Of the 5800 bales on offer 61 per cent sold, reflecting the general slow-down in new orders coming forward and the trend of exporters only buying for immediate requirements.

The continuing strengthening of the New Zealand dollar saw the weighted currency indicator lift 1.87 per cent week on week, limiting market opportunities.

Compared to the last South Island sale on June 30, mid micron fleece was 1 to 2.5 per cent cheaper with fine crossbred fleece down 3.5 per cent. Compared to the North Island sale on July 7, longer fine crossbred shears were 2 to 4 per cent up with shorter shears firm to 1 per cent cheaper.

Coarse crossbred full fleece, good and average styles eased by 1 to 1.5 per cent with poor styles 3 to 5 per cent up.

Coarse Second Shears two to four inches to three to five inches were 2 to 5 per cent up with shorter types holding firm.

Long oddments remained firm with good colour short oddments 2 to 4 per cent dearer.

There was limited activity with Australasia and Middle East principals, supported by Western Europe, China and India.

Next sale on Thursday comprises approximately 6000 bales from the North Island.

Outdoor burning in urban areas: ■ Burning in urban areas is not currently permitted. (This includes any property zoned residential, commercial or industrial, even if used for rural related purposes).

Proposed measures of the Air Plan: ■ Allow outdoor cooking everywhere (including pizza ovens) at any time of the year ■ Allow burning at community and cultural events, outside of winter months ■ Not allow outdoor burning of any waste in urban areas under any circumstances.

■ For more information on burning green waste visit: http://ecan.govt.nz/ advice/your-home/in-the-garden/Pages/green-waste.aspx

are not banned during winter months,” he said.

ECan has a year-round ban on outdoor burning on all properties in towns and cities.

Mr Mortiaux said people should

dispose of green waste by composting, shredding or chipping it to make garden mulch.

“Otherwise, use kerbside collection or green waste transfer stations and disposal,” he said.

MARKET REPORT Dairy Above average pasture growth rates have boosted saved grass as brassica feeding for cows moves into its final phase.

Many have grass storage and cow condition ahead of the norm, and early prospects look good for calving and early milk flows.

Market sentiment has changed little, with the future determined by production out of Europe and the US, and stocks on hand through the intervention scheme of the EU. Another auction this week will reveal a snapshot of where the market is at, and give farmers an indication when prices will improve.

Fonterra reports they have made good progress on stocks carried, as volumes held are back on last year and coupled with some cost savings and more valued added production, management believe they have set the tools for the upturn.

Dairy real estate prices have dropped 1520 per cent from the highs, but some analysts believe more falls are possible when additional properties are marketed in the spring.

The NZ Super Fund has purchased 7 dairy farms in Southland showing the sector they believe the future has an upside, but critics suggest they have paid too much, too soon.

PKE prices drop again as usage falls, and this in turn has sapped demand and prices for feed barley, which is now the lowest it has been for six years.

Lamb Another week of stable schedules reflects the market uncertainty brought about by Brexit and the following currency rises against the kiwi dollar, and prospects look flat for the early season.

Scanning results in many areas of the North Island are back 15-30 per cent due to the severe autumn facial eczema outbreak, but early results from southern flocks look to be well above average.

A shortage of stock has driven demand

for 7100 in lamb ewes sold at Temuka last week, with young fertile sheep reaching $182, and even annual draft ewes made over $150 per head.

Lack of numbers has kept store and prime lamb prices lifting at the sale yards and ahead of last year, but most sheep farmers are still struggling for profitability at these levels.

Wool The first South Island wool sale of the season produced another disappointing result and only 61 per cent of the offering was sold.

Buyers targeted only the best wools for immediate orders only, as higher than required Chinese stocks and global financial insecurity, dampened demand.

Indicator prices did however lift from last week’s North Island sale, with coarse crossbred wools rising over $5 again, but mid micron fibres dropping again to a new yearly low of 817c/kg.

Beef More flat beef schedules this week, as US cattle futures plummeted to a five-year low, and increased global competition for NZ beef suggests this sectors recent high returns maybe about to ease.

Early prices for dairy bull weaners are still reflecting last year’s markets, but buyers should be cautious as already export schedules for both prime and bull values are 30c/kg behind last year.

Deer Another small lift for venison schedules this week, but concerns about the currency remain, as the Euro is now 6-8 per cent stronger against the Kiwi than it was last July.

Venison finishers in the province have been enjoying the dry mild winter, and should reach or exceed spring liveweight targets for the chilled market.

New Zealand’s Tour de France

By Tanya Zoe RoBinson

A

s we head into the gripping last week of the Tour de France, that most famous cycle race of all, it’s timely to recall an early classic of New Zealand road racing.

The Timaru to Christchurch cycle race was established in 1899, four years before the famous Tour de France. It was regarded as the greatest cycling test of the year, with the winner acknowledged as the New Zealand Road Champion.

The one-day point-to-point race was held 87 times over its 109year history. Each time, the riders zipped through Ashburton.

Initially known as the Great Rover Road Race, and later the Dunlop Road Race, the main prize was the Rudge Whitworth Cup, first presented in 1900. The prize is still awarded today for a similar race from Twizel to Timaru.

112 rough miles While the French tour is a gruelling three-week test of endurance, the 112 mile (180km) road from Timaru to Christchurch presented significant challenges of its own.

Especially in the early days of the race when the roads were rough and unsealed.

Wet or dry, it could be hard going. As the Ashburton Guardian reported on July 25, 1903: The weather was fine overhead, but of course the effect of the late snowfall and rain made itself felt on the roads, which were, in places perfect quagmires. For 15 miles of the journey to Ashburton the riders had to actually wheel, and in some places carry their machines. The places where this was found to be necessary were on the long stretch of road five miles the other side of Rangitata to the Hinds.

Fortunately for less experienced riders, the race was handicapped.

Setting the handicap was a complex task, with up to an hour set between first starter and last. If all was done well, the riders would finish in Christchurch within a few minutes of each other. The first race was won by J Metcalf of Temuka, in a speedy seven hours, 40 minutes, and 46 seconds.

The champion Phil O’Shea Between 1909 and 1923, the race was dominated by the legendary cyclist, Ashburton-born Phil O’Shea (1889-1980), who made the race his own. He twice won line honours and gained the fastest time on six occasions. During that time his fastest time was five hours, 14

Never before has so much interest been shown in a cycle event here, the county people of whom there were many in town, being as much interested as their town compeers.

After considerable eye-straining in the direction of the bridge, and peering through field glasses word was passed that the first two riders had passed Friedlander Bros store, Tinwald, the news being telephoned over as soon as the leading pair passed.

minutes, 58 seconds. By the mid1980s that time was down three hours 29 minutes, achieved by Timaru’s Colin Ryan. It remains today as the fastest time recorded for the distance.

O’Shea was nicknamed The Champion. It’s estimated he raced 1420 times in both road and track races, beginning in 1909.

The Timaru to Christchurch race was also a training and selection race for a highlight of his career, the Warrnambool-Melbourne Road Race covering 266km. Still Australia’s longest-running cycle event, the Melbourne to Warrnambool Classic is now raced in reverse.

That race also granted the win-

ner the title Long Distance Road Champion of Australasia. O’Shea won the title three times, first in 1911, then later in 1922 and 1923.

The gap due to World War One made for a remarkably long cycling career and achievement, until he retired from competitive cycling in 1932.

Ashburton spectators The Timaru to Christchurch was very popular with spectators.

It’s said that in the early days of New Zealand road racing “nothing drew the attention of the public quite like a classic”.

Ashburton provided a perfect spot to watcher the riders. On August 2, 1902, the Ashburton Guardian recorded:

Refreshments From the first race, refreshment stations known as victualling departments were sponsored by the Dunlop Tyre Company, who went on to sponsor the race for over a decade. Just the year before, in 1898, Dunlop had introduced pneumatic tyres to New Zealand, which were used by many winning riders.

Refreshments were an important part of race planning. For many years, cups of hot milk were given to riders at refreshment stations at Rangitata and Chertsey.

An image of riders sprinting ahead clutching tin mugs of hot milk is a contrast to today’s throwaway bidons.

Food bags were also available, which the competitors could grab without dismounting, as they dashed by the Dunlop Company’s officials.

The locals also got into the spirit and did much to assist the racers.

As the newspaper described on July 25, 1903: Mr Archie Lane, of the Somerset Hotel, had his whole staff engaged in preparing for the necessities for the competitors. He had a table laid in the large front vestibule of the Somerset Hotel.

On the table were placed bread and hot milk, chocolate, sandwiches, raisins, and bananas. Little bags of food for the road were also prepared, and each man as he went on, got a bag to keep him going until the next refreshment stopping place.

Adjoining the vestibule in another room, Mr Lane very thoughtfully had a large table, and quite a number of wash-hand jugs and basins, and a quantity of hot water, and the luxury of a good wash was enjoyed by many of the competitors, who were loud in their praises of the thoughtfulness of Mr Lane.

With support like that, no wonder Ashburtonians led the peloton.

Honouring the Fallen During the period of the First World War, 1914 to 1915, many men from the Ashburton District signed up to fight for the Empire against the German army. Many did not return — almost 450 from Ashburton were killed. The first Ashburton men were killed on April 25, 1915 — the first Anzac Day. Ashburton philanthropist and patriot Frederick Ferriman presented a special flag and a flagpole to the families of those men.

The Ashburton Museum with the assistance of the Rotary Club of Ashburton, has erected in front of the Museum one of the original Ferriman flagpoles, and on the centennial of the death of each Ashburton soldier will fly a replica flag. An original flag is on display in the Museum.

This week the Ashburton Museum honours: July 20: Robert RENNIE

Hampstead rules in derby

JAMES.F@THEGAURDIAN.CO.NZ

Hampstead’s unbeaten run continued with a 5-2 victory over local rivals Hampstead-Collegians in an all-Mid Canterbury affair at the Ashburton Hockey Turf on Sunday.

With both sides missing key

personnel, young players were given the opportunity to prove their worth and didn’t disappoint.

Hampstead led 3-0 at halftime thanks to goals from Harriet Cameron, Helen France and Brooke Hanrahan, but Hampstead-Collegians came out fir-

ing in the second stanza and matched their Mid Canterbury counterparts goal-for-goal for a 5-2 finish.

The victory was Hampstead’s 10th in what has been an impressive campaign in the Mid-South Canterbury women’s first division.

Rex Turnbull’s side sit more than 25 points clear at the top of the ladder and will be heavy favourites to see off Craighead’s 1st XI in their next outing in Ashburton on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Hampstead-Collegians face a stern test against second placed Cambridge in Timaru.

Gallen’s exit should ease tensions

BY LAINE CLARK Queensland Rugby League boss Peter Betros believes bad blood between State of Origin’s teams will ease next year because NSW captain Paul Gallen won’t be involved.

Betros yesterday confirmed Maroons veteran Corey Parker’s call that Origin relations were at an all-time low in the wake of NSW’s game three post-match presentation snub led by Gallen.

The Maroons are still seething after Gallen turned his back on Cameron Smith and led NSW away as the Queensland skipper was receiving the Origin trophy at ANZ Stadium last week.

Gallen claimed the postmatch snub had been brought about by Queensland’s excessive sledging of the Blues, in particu-

lar the NSW skipper in his last Origin.

Betros lay the blame squarely on Gallen and believed Origin tensions may be eased next year under a new Blues captain.

“It wouldn’t be hard for NSW to get a better attitude,” Betros told AAP. “Paul is determined to win for his state and good on him for that.

“But the tactics they use leave a lot to be desired.

“I just think as a leader he (Gallen) sometimes led the wrong way.”

Parker had earlier revealed Origin ill-feeling between the teams was as bad as ever after game three – his 19th and final match for Queensland.

“There’s a thing called sportsmanship and I think that’s what aggravated most Queenslanders

through that game,” Parker told Sky Sports Radio yesterday.

“I do feel there’s that real bad blood ... between the two teams.”

Betros and Parker expected the fallout from the match to be used as motivation for the Queenslanders next year.

Parker was within a group of players identified

by Gallen as being one of the chief sledg-

ing perpetrators following Queensland’s 26-16 Origin II victory over the Blues.

The retiring Blues captain hit out at Parker, Johnathan Thurston and Matt Gillett on Friday night for the manner in which they celebrated in the face of NSW players on fulltime at Suncorp Stadium last month.

“You talk about disrespect, you’ve only got to look back in Game II and the end of that game Johnathan Thurston looks directly at me and says ‘F... your Blues’,” Gallen said to Triple M. - AAP Blues skipper Paul Gallen

South Sydney have leapt to the defence of coach Michael Maguire as they prepare to miss the NRL finals for the first time under his stewardship.

Pressure is mounting on Maguire with the Rabbitohs losing their past six games and sitting six points outside the top eight in 13th with seven rounds remaining.

The Rabbitohs’ equation is simple – win seven from seven or perish before the finals and standing in their way is a tough draw that includes five top-eight sides including Cronulla, Melbourne, Canterbury and Canberra.

Despite being one of the big underperformers this season, the likes of George Burgess and Alex Johnston praised Maguire’s leadership and dismissed criticisms of his coaching style.

Asked if Maguire was the man to lead them out of their lull, Burgess said: “We’ve got a lot of belief in Michael Maguire.

“He’s taken us to some great times.

“There’s highs and low in sport so you’ve just got to ride through them.”

The Rabbitohs have this year looked shades of the side that won the premiership two years ago under Maguire.

Their 30-10 defeat to Brisbane on Saturday night was the 11th straight match in which they have conceded 20-plus points.

During their premiership breakthrough season, they let in an average of just 15.1 points during the regular rounds, the lowest in the competition, and Burgess was at a loss to explain why their defensive resolve had abandoned them.

Souths built their title win on the back of their dominance through the middle, but they are ranked 15th in the competition for metres made in 2016, only behind last-placed Newcastle.

Maguire has at various stages of his career been accused of pushing his players too hard but Johnston said he had no concerns about burnout.

He said it was up to the players to step up.

“It comes down to the boys.

“We’ve just got to bring it all out on the field and bring it all together,” Johnston said.

Karate kids in the medals at nationals

Punters back Kiwis to win gold

By James Ford

JION International Karate Dojo Ashburton is being well represented at the New Zealand National Championships in Wellington.

Sophie Smith has taken out a silver medal in the 6-7 years Kata section and a bronze in Kumite, while Taylah Burrowes collected a silver medal and a bronze medal in the 12-13 years intermediate Kata and the Premier 45kg+ Kumite respectively.

JION Karate Dojo manager Jacqui Windhorst said she and Sensei Thorsten Windhorst were pleased with the girls’ performances.

“We’re both very proud of both girls’ performance, to come back with two medals each – one from each division entered – is a great achievement.”

The local duo will finish competing at the nationals today.

Crusaders ‘have belief’

Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder knows his side face a tough task ahead in South Africa after a bruising finish to the Super Rugby regular season, however he has urged his players to move on and remain positive.

A tough 35-10 loss against the Hurricanes on Saturday left the Crusaders in a beaten state, with injuries to winger Nemani Nadolo and halfback Andy Ellis.

They have just two days rest before flying out to Johannesburg yesterday to face the Lions on Sunday morning (NZT).

However, Blackadder said that the belief he has in his team is as strong as ever.

“It’s certainly not easy,” Blackadder said.

“But we’ve got a good plan and we have a good history of playing well in South Africa.

“There’s a lot of belief, even

though we lost on the weekend.”

He admits if his side had played the way they prepared against the Hurricanes, they could have been staying in New Zealand this weekend.

Despite the loss, he was still impressed with his side’s reslience and thinks that will carry over to their playoff match against the Lions.

“I think 171 tackles shows you the guys were willing and had great courage and put a lot into that game,” he said.

The Crusaders have already trumped the Lions in South Africa, winning 43-37 back in round six.

They also completed their South African trip with wins over the Sharks and Kings.

This weekend, they will be without Nadolo, however, they will get a boost in the forwards

with the return of Sam Whitelock.

Ellis is also expected to make a full recovery before the weekend’s game.

Meanwhile, Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd is not so sure that the chances of four New Zealand sides reaching the semi-finals are as cut and dried as many pundits, and indeed the form book, would suggest.

“The sides are close enough together for travel to be a factor, but it’s not going to be the factor.

“I think sides can win this competition home and away,” says the Hurricanes coach, reflecting on his charges’ top billing heading into the Super Rugby playoffs.

“The Stormers are an unknown because no New Zealand side has played them this year.

“It’s very hard to get a handle on just how strong the Stormers are, but they’ll be hard to beat at

Newlands. A very well rested Lions side will be tough to beat in Joburg.

“The Brumbies are capable on their own patch as well.”

Boyd noted how tough the Crusaders’ travel schedule is, given they did not be departing the country until yesterday.

“I wouldn’t like to say there are going to be four Kiwi sides (in the semis). I hope there are.”

While he acknowledged the Sharks will have a long travel haul to come to the capital and face a side riding high and smarting from the 32-15 reverse they suffered in Durban in May, that will not alter the Hurricanes’ mindset or preparation this week.

“We’ve found with this side that our preparation is crucial to our performance, so we need to make sure it’s nice and tidy this week,” says Boyd.

The bookies have found favour with several New Zealand athletes heading to Rio, with odds firmly on some of our Olympic favourites.

Hamish Bond and Eric Murray top the list with odds of just 1.02 euros at Irish bookermaker Paddy Power for them to back up their London gold medal in the coxless pair.

Lisa Carrington closely follows with odds on her to win the Women’s K1 200m at 1.16.

Despite being the favourite in the K1 500m as well, Carrington’s odds for the longer form are much more profitable at 3.00.

Peter Burling and Blair Tuke go for 1.33 in the Men’s 49er sailing.

Considering they only just lost their first race in four years last week, there is money to be made with the next best competitor coming in at 4.00.

Next down the list is the men’s sprint team cycling who are favourites to gain gold at 1.40.

France is the next best at 4.50.

London gold medallist, Mahe Drysdale, is at 1.57 to win the men’s single sculls while Valerie Adams is the favourite in the women’s shot put at 1.80.

After that, the odds push out a lot further.

The more risky punters will be looking to cash in on some of our outside hopefuls.

The men’s sevens team is paying 3.50 and the women are at 3.00.

Tom Walsh is paying a whopping 9.00 in the men’s shot put while Lauren Boyle is second favourite in the women’s 800m freestyle at 15.00.

If the favourite, Katie Ledecky from the United States, should happen to false start or blow a fuse, betters could land huge money from a bet on Boyle.

Some have also predicted Zoe Stevenson and Eve Macfarlane to win gold in the women’s double sculls, and they are currently paying 4.00.

In any case, New Zealand can expect a number of medals; gold, silver and bronze.

Stayer aimed at NZ Cup

Perfect drive gets Punter the spoils

Promising stayer Bee Tee Junior is thriving on a restricted diet of racing.

The rising five-year-old came off a month’s break to post the third win of his 13-start career at Te Rapa in early July and trainer Shaune Ritchie has a two mile target in mind for the gelding.

“I’d like to get him into a race like the New Zealand Cup on the minimum,” the Cambridge trainer said.

“I thought he was quite impressive at his last start.

“Lisa Allpress rode him and she’s a natural lightweight so with 60kg to carry there was a fair bit of lead in the saddle.”

Ritchie has now mapped out a plan to have Bee Tee Junior at Riccarton for the Gr.3 Christchurch Casino New Zealand Cup on November 12.

Youngster Nathan Purdon burst out of the shadow of his famous family to make his own Group 1 mark with Ohoka Punter at Albion Park on Saturday night.

Purdon, son of the all-conquering Mark Purdon, trained and drove Ohoka Punter to perfection to win the $200,000 Group 1 Blacks A Fake (2680m) in atrocious conditions.

Purdon, sensing the muddy conditions and long distance helped his chances of upsetting hotpot Hectorjayjay, drove with aggression early.

Gavin Lang worked to the lead early on Hectorjayjay, but surrendered the front to Purdon when, in Lang’s words, “he came hunting on a mission.”

Whether Lang should have kept the front was the topic of debate post-race, but it mattered not with the more seasoned Ohoka Punter finding the lead and easily holding-off Hectorjayjay along the sprint lane.

through the winter months and there’s a good race for him at Te Rapa on Foxbridge Plate day,” he said.

“He’ll probably just race once a month and there’s another one for him at Hastings in October.

“He’s a very sleek and lean horse and doesn’t carry any excess condition so he will have all his races well-spaced.”

By the Group One winner Nom du Jeu, Bee Tee Junior is out of the multiple winner That’s My Char and is a grand-son of the Group performer Jellybean.

Ko wins marathon playoff

Stenson takes epic Open win

Lydia Ko outlasted Ariya Jutanugarn and Mirim Lee to win the Marathon Classic yesterday to claim her fourth LPGA Tour victory of the season.

The top-ranked Ko made a 10foot birdie putt on the fourth extra hole after Jutanugarn and Lee ran into trouble.

“Just to see a putt drop for birdie I think kind of got my emotions going,” Ko said.

“I’m not really a huge fistpump kind of person, but I think it’s probably the biggest fistpump I’ve ever done.”

Also the 2014 winner, Ko closed with a 2-under 69 at Highland Meadows to match Jutanugarn and Lee at 14-under 270.

They played the par-5 18th four more times to finally decide the winner.

“Not a very easy hole,” Ko said.

“It’s a dogleg left and, with the wind blowing left to right and the pin tucked on the left, it was probably the toughest it’ll play.

“I think we were all getting a little bit physically and mentally tired as we were continuing to play the same hole.”

Ko has 14 LPGA Tour titles, also winning consecutive events in South California — the second the major ANA Inspiration – and later in Arkansas.

The 19-year-old New Zealander is 4-1 in playoffs, with the loss coming to Brooke Henderson this year in the KPMG Women’s PGA. Ko missed a 5-foot birdie putt on the third extra hole, sending the trio back to the 18th tee for the final time.

Jutanugarn had a good chance on the second playoff hole, but missed an 8-footer.

Lydia Ko with the trophy after winning the Marathon Classic in Ohio yesterday.

PHOTO AP “It was hard to just see so many putts just slip by,” Ko said.

“I said, ‘Hey, maybe she’s going to win.’ And then it just slipped by. ‘Maybe I’m going to

win.’ And it slipped by.

“To see that putt drop on the last hole was a cool feeling.”

Ko opened with rounds of 68, 66 and 67 to enter the day three

strokes behind Hyo Joo Kim. Ko birdied three of the first six holes, while Kim had three bogeys on the stretch.

Ko birdied the par-4 ninth, bogeyed the par-3 14th and 16th and finished with two pars.

Lee shot a 65, bogeying the 18th to lose the outright lead after making birdies on 13, 15, 16 and 17.

“I didn’t know I’m in the lead,” Lee said.

“I don’t know.

“I just played.”

Jutanugarn had a 68, reaching 14 under with an eagle on 17.

“It was a really good experience,” said Jutanugarn, the longhitting Thai player who won three straight events in May. “It’s really nice for me to have a chance in a playoff.”

Kim followed her third-round 64 with a 73 to finish a stroke back.

Stacy Lewis was fifth at 11 under after a 71.

Born in the area, the Texan is winless in 56 starts since taking the North Texas LPGA Shootout in June 2014 for her 11th tour victory.

She has 11 runner-up finishes during the drought and 24 overall.

“I felt like this week I made some more progress,” Lewis said.

Alison Lee, tied for second with Ko entering the round, had a 73 to fall into a tie for sixth with Beatriz Recari (68) at 10 under.

Brittany Lang, coming off a playoff victory over Anna Nordqvist in the US Women’s Open, had a 74 to tie for 24th at 3 under.

Nordqvist also was 3 under after a 70.

Fox joins Ko, Lee for Rio Olympics New Zealand will send a threestrong golf team to the Olympics.

The team is headlined by women’s world number one Lydia Ko, while men’s world number 40 Danny Lee is joined by Ryan Fox. Fox has convinced the New Zealand Olympic Committee he has the potential to make the 16 in the 60-strong field, with a world ranking of 184.

He had talked about appealing had he missed out.

Women’s number two Cathryn Bristow will not be sent, after sneaking in to the top-60 adjusting rankings cutoff in the last position with her ranking of 446.

Fox won a tight battle with Michael Hendry for the second spot after putting together two top five finishes on the European Challenge Tour at just the right time.

“Obviously it’s a pinnacle sporting event and I can say I’m the third generation of my family to represent New Zealand in three different sports, so it’s

a pretty cool thing to be able to do,” said Fox. Ko has made it very clear that the Olympics is her pinnacle event of 2016.

To medal at Rio would mean so much to her as she compares this achievement to a Major Championship.

With her consistency this dream is very much a possibility.

“I’m super excited to represent New Zealand, to be able to see the village, the food court and just everything it’s going to be so cool!” said Ko. The trio are expected to be the last to be added to the New Zealand team, although the Sports Tribunal is considering an appeal from marathon runner Paul Martelletti.

Meanwhile, The head of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics says the world’s top four male golfers have withdrawn from the games because there is no money to be won – not because of the Zika virus.

“They tried to blame Zika, but

Ryan Fox is the third generation to represent New Zeland. the media have shown that they are not coming because there’s no prize money,” Rio organising committee President Carlos Nuzman said, speaking with the games set to open in just under three weeks.

Jordan Spieth withdrew this week from the Olympics, citing Zika.

He joined Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, and Rory McIlroy in also

saying Zika was the main reason for skipping the first Olympic golf tournament in 112 years.

Their absence could be a setback for golf’s future in the Olympics. Golf is guaranteed a spot in the Tokyo Olympics in four years, but could be vulnerable after that.

“Zika is much worse in Florida than in Brazil, and golfers are playing in Florida,” Nuzman said.

By Darren Walton Henrik Stenson has dedicated his emotional British Open triumph to a cancer victim and mentor after completing one of golf’s great comeback tales at Royal Troon.

Five years after slumping from No.3 to 230th in the world after losing his swing and $10 million in an investment scam, Stenson produced the finest final round in Open history to become the first Scandinavian man to win a major.

In a thrilling and breathtaking finish, Stenson eclipsed Phil Mickelson by three shots in an epic battle down the stretch that evoked memories of Tom Watson’s famous “Duel in the Sun” victory over Jack Nicklaus at Turnberry 39 years ago.

The cool Swede closed with an incredible 10 birdies in a recordequalling eight-under-par-63 to finish with an historic 72-hole total of 264, matching Jason Day’s all-time major low 20-under at last year’s US PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.

“Wow, this will take a little while to sink in,” Stenson said.

The stunning under-par aggregate – after previous rounds of 68-65-68 – also beat Tiger Woods’ all-time low scoring record from his runaway victory at St Andrews in 2000.

Stenson’s success was also sweet revenge after Mickelson overturned a one-shot deficit to deny him the Claret Jug at Muirfield in 2013.

“Thank you Phil for a fantastic battle.

“You played some great golf.

I’m obviously delighted to come out on top this time,” he said.

At 40, and after seven top-fours in the majors, Stenson sensed this was his moment.

“It’s not something you want to run around and shout, but I felt like this was going to be my turn,” he said.

He kissed the Claret Jug and dedicated his victory to a “dear friend” Mike Gerbich, who died in the US on the eve of the Open last Thursday.

“He was one of the real good guys back in Dubai. I’ve known him for many, many years, and he was a very keen golfer and a great man,” Stenson said.

“He’s always been there as a big supporter of mine, and in good days and bad days he’s always sent me messages and been out at some events.”

Bidding to become the oldest Open winner since Old Tom Morris in 1867, Mickelson was gallant with a flawless 65 featuring four birdies and an eagle – but still unable to land a fairytale sixth career major at 46.

Going birdie for birdie all weekend, the pair separated themselves from the field, just like Watson and Nicklaus finished 11 and 10 shots ahead of their challengers in 1977.

SITUATIONS VACANT

Reynolds on the pace

By Dale BuDge Most people thought David Reynolds was heading for a year of racing at the back of the field when he announced he was off to Erebus Racing for the 2016 V8 Supercars season.

Erebus underwent massive change during the summer, moving base from the Gold Coast to Melbourne, swapping from Mercedes to Holden and refreshing the majority of their staff.

On top of that Reynolds left Pro Drive Racing Australia where his team-mate Mark Winterbottom won the championship and Reynolds himself had been in the title hunt for most of the year.

Reynolds turned up at the first round of this year’s championship and instantly wondered what he had done.

“I was very concerned,” Reynolds said.

“I had been at the Ford factory team for four years and knew everyone really well and loved everyone.

“I had to form a new team, have a new boss, work with a bunch of new people, new engineer, new car and everything I touched was completely different from what I was used to.”

The results weren’t particularly encouraging out of the blocks either.

“At the start of the year we were a second a lap off the pace in qualifying standard

David Reynolds and a second per lap is a lot.

“Over the past six months we have built new bits, tried new bits, had failures, dramas, struggles but we have closed that gap down to maybe only half a per cent off the pace of the leading cars.”

That improvement saw Reynolds take a superb fifth place in qualifying and finish 14th in the Sunday race at Townsville two week’s ago.

The finishing position doesn’t tell the whole story – Reynolds was in the top three for the majority of the race and only fell back as a few teams got lucky with a late safety car intervention.

“It was one of the most satisfying things I have ever done,” Reynolds says of his last start.

“Last year if I finished fifth I would almost see it as a loss because the cars were that good and the team was that good.

For our team, when we’re used to qualifying 15-20th, it is like a win for us.

“My job is to keep the car there now.”

19/7

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): When things drop off your schedule naturally, don’t fight it or try to reschedule right away. Let it happen. You will experience a greater level of time-affluence and feel truly rich!

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Nothing takes you out of the moment like criticising your own thoughts.

Also, it’s impossible to be fully awake and mindful and judge all of your thoughts at the same time. So how about you go easy on yourself?

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Has a perfect stranger ever captured your attention to the point where you project an entire persona onto the person? Should you actually get to know this person, be careful not to let that made-up persona blur into the reality.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You crave spaciousness – in your environment, in your head, in your soul.

You can’t rid the whole world of clutter, but you can start with a room, and that will begin the journey.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): There are forces at work that you don’t know about and won’t know until the plot thickens. You’ll have angels on your side when you need them. Let that comfort and inspire you.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Because you really love a person, you’ll sacrifice much to make things work.

If you also happen to be extremely compatible with this person, such efforts won’t require much energy.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You can’t blame a person for trying to have fun, even if your kind of fun is in direct opposition to this person’s. Probably the most graceful thing will be to remove yourself from the situation.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Maybe you’ve behaved badly in the past, but you’re not bad. Perhaps you need a new cast and setting. Different people (and environments) bring out different sides of you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You are not your thoughts. Thoughts are just ideas passing through the atmosphere, most of them not even generated by you, just yours to claim or not claim depending on what best suits the person you want to be.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Once you learn a new way to make money you’ll experience a financial upswing. It will be a day to investigate options, ask questions and try to determine what interests you enough to follow through to the finish.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’re there for your friend, regardless of the details of their troubles. It will be a while before you even know those details, and that’s the kind of person you are.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You may have moved on emotionally from a situation, but a few practical matters connected with it that need to be cleared up. Today is a good day to start.

Dixon unlucky - again Kiwi driver Scott Dixon’s terrible run of luck in the IndyCar series has continued on the streets of Toronto.

Dixon qualified pole and was in control of yesterday’s race from the opening lap but as cars began their last round of pit stops Dixon was caught out by a safety car at an inopportune time. It meant he and championship leader Simon Pagenaud had to pit under safety car and were then stuck behind all of those drivers that got their final stop done prior to the yellow. He fought his way through to salvage eighth place but will be ruing not making his pit stop a moment earlier – a decision that cost him almost certain victory.

Local riders turn in top performances The Rakaia Pony Club One Day Event was well contested at the weekend with some fine performances from local riders.

For the first time the Rakaia ODE was held over two days to accommodate the high number of entries.

The young and relatively inexperienced Rakaia duo of Mia Jones and Mikayla Wycliffe were having their first start at 80cms and came through the flags well.

Calm riding from Dan Harkerss resulted in a fifth overall

placing in the 80cm class, while Tinwald’s Harriet Stock produced a solid performance for third spot.

On Sunday there were mixed results with errors putting some local competitors out of contention, but experience and good

riding resulted in Rakaia’s Olivia Harkerss placing second overall in the 95 cm class.

Meanwhile, Methven’s Steph Hubbard produced a fine cross country round in the 105cm class, giving her a fifth placing overall.

Cassidy grabs F3 win Aucklander Nick Cassidy claimed his maiden victory in the FIA European Formula 3 championship at Circuit Park Zandvoort in the Netherlands over the weekend.

The Former Toyota Racing Series champion, won the second of the three races held beside the

North Sea in sand dunes near Amsterdam.

“I’m overjoyed.

“Emotion beats result right now,” says Cassidy.

“So far, things haven’t always been going trouble-free for me this season, which was down to factors beyond my control and

also beyond the control of the team. “ With two second places in the first and third races of the weekend, Cassidy has climbed to fourth on the points table, just one point behind Englishman Callum Illot.

It took the longest title-deciding tie-breaker in the Open era, but big Ivo Karlovic finally won the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships. The second-seeded Croatian had lost in the previous two finals of the postWimbledon grasscourt event but he finally prevailed when he beat thirdseed Gilles Muller of Luxembourg 6-7 (7-2) 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (14-12). Karlovic, at 37 years, 4 months, became the oldest ATP World Tour singles champion since Marty Riessen in 1979 as he claimed his seventh career title.

to the start that the first corner would probably be my only chance to overtake Callum, who was ahead of me on the grid.

“After that, my race wasn’t easy either, because Maximilian was quite quick behind me.

Eventually, it was enough and I am really happy.”

Lesnar claims innocence If anyone believes Brock Lesnar’s claim that he is the innocent victim of a drug-testing mishap, his fellow UFC fighters are not among those in his corner. A number of outspoken athletes have taken to Twitter after news of the 39-year-old’s failed drug test surfaced, claiming the doping allegations are no shock to those in the know. Lesnar was accused of using performance-enhancing drugs by Mark Hunt before their heavyweight bout at UFC 200, claiming he was “juiced to the gills.”
