National Jump Jam winners

Mt Somers Springburn School kids jumped their way to national success this month.

Yesterday a team of Year 5 to 8 pupils received their trophy after being named winners of the national Jump Jam Challenge.

Earlier this month the 11 team members travelled to Christchurch to compete against schools from throughout the South Island in the nationwide dance aerobics competition.

It was followed by a North Island competition, and when the scores were tallied, the South Island winners of Mt Somers Springburn came out on top.

Mt Somers Springburn’s routine was to the country song Five, Six, Seven, Eight.

For Jump Jam, the organisers provide the routine, but competitors are allowed to change up to 30 per cent of it.

The Mt Somers Springburn kids rose to the challenge, making their routine

as upbeat and dynamic as possible.

Teacher Michaela George said the children added an extra dimension by dressing as cowboys and cowgirls, and also tossing in some of their own singing and chants.

“I think they are so good at it because they are country kids, they give everything a go and they are so enthusiastic about doing the routine,” George said.

“They just love jump jam, they listen really hard to feedback and anything I tell them they just do it.”

■■NEW METHVEN GYM

Former garage becomes gym

By Heather Mackenzie

heather.m@theguardian.co.nz

Anna Johnson’s dream of opening her own gym in her home town is about to come true.

The doors at Methven’s Garage Gym will open for the first time this Sunday, and Johnson could not be prouder of what she and building project manager Mark Jacobs have achieved.

“All the sleepless nights and endless lists have all been worth it,” she said.

Johnson wanted to retain the integrity of the 100-year-old building, and luckily for her Jacobs and building owner Rob Smallbone felt the same way.

The interior is light and airy with a mixture of crisp white walls and exposed original brick, interspersed with colourful graffiti – a legacy of the building’s stint as a skatepark.

The name Garage Gym is also a nod to the building’s history.

“Back in the day half of the building was an emporium and haberdashery, and the rest was Petrie’s Garage.

When the emporium and haberdashery closed, Petrie’s took over the whole building and put in petrol bowsers out the front,” she said.

The interior is not the only unique aspect, as Garage Gym’s business mission statement emphasises empowering the community to find its passion for wellness and fitness, both within and outside of the building’s four walls.

Johnson plans to develop the gym into a community hub were all types of gym-goers are welcome and supported.

“If somebody wants to come in and use the bike for half an hour and chat to the people around them, great. When they leave with a sense of belonging and a smile on their face, boom, we’ve achieved our goal.”

Johnson will be working alongside fellow trainers including local Sommer O’Shea, and they will be quickly dispelling any notion that gym members have to be fit

“You won’t see any little outfits in my advertising material,” Johnson said.

The correlation between exercise and mental wellbeing is something Johnson is passionate about.

Dealing with postnatal depression and body image issues after having children, she found getting out of the house and working on her fitness helped significantly.

“What got me through that was discovering the positive power of exercise, well that, and not having any more children,” she quipped.

In the early days Johnson found that even half an hour of exercise a day made a big difference to her state of mind.

As time went on her love of fitness grew and along with it, her self-confidence. It was not long before Johnson decided it was a good idea to set herself a fitness goal. Never one to do anything by

halves she decided to do the 2012 Wanaka half triathlon.

“I learnt a lot about myself doing that race. The sense of completing something so challenging was amazing.”

That started what turned out to be a love of multi-sport competitions, something her famous brothers Glen and Braden Currie are well known for.

Johnson went on to enter several events, including competing in the gruelling Coast to Coast three

times, once as an individual, then a team member and next in the duo division, where two team members have to remain within 50 metres of each other at all times.

For Johnson standing on multi-event start lines has been akin to preparing for opening Garage Gym. “You have spent the last year preparing for this moment, and now it’s time to believe in yourself and get on with it,” she said.

Thunderstorm wreaks havoc

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Thunder, lightning and hail caused havoc and sent Mid Cantabrians running for cover yesterday.

The electrical storm which swept through shortly after midday cut off power to hundreds of rural households and is believed to have damaged the Ashburton Resource Recovery Park weighbridge.

Westerfield farm manager Adam Mielnik said he rushed to put tractors and other vehicles under cover as the storm hit.

As he checked stock to make sure animals were okay, he noticed the property’s 3500 heifers

were not particularly happy about the storm.

“You could just see them running to the other end of the paddocks, but they are all good,” Mielnik said.

Hailstones were the largest he had ever seen, at more than two centimetres in diameter, but they only fell in short sharp bursts over a period of about two minutes.

“Otherwise it could’ve been a nightmare for the winter crops,” he said.

United Wheatgrowers chairman Brian Leadley, who farms at Dromore, said hail had fallen in isolated patches in Mid Canterbury. He was happy to report it appeared there had not been any significant

crop damage either in the district or elsewhere.

“The industry doesn’t want to see it,” Leadley said.

It was a vulnerable time of year for many crops, for example flat leaf was emerging in wheat, barley and early grasses, and early peas were flowering.

On his farm as the storm threatened, he had turned off switchboards in pump sheds to prevent lightning strikes damaging the electronics.

At Ashburton Resource Recovery Park, that scenario became a reality as an apparent lightning strike affected the ability of the weighbridge to weigh loads into the park.

The weighbridge was consequently out of action, but the Ashburton District Council reported at about 3.30pm that a contractor from Christchurch was looking into the damage so the service could be restored.

Tinwald resident Toni Green described the storm as “really, really intense”.

She was working from home when she and her partner Luke Worsfold had to rush outside to cover new plantings in the garden and put vehicles away so they would not be hail damaged.

Worsfold took a photo of the lightning, which was featured on the Canterbury Weather Updates Facebook page.

“At one point the thunder felt like it shook the house,” Green said.

EA Networks operations manager Myles Connew said the storm had wreaked havoc with power lines, as lightning caused feeders at zone sub-stations to trip.

The storm had come through in a big band, diagonally, from Mt Peel through to Overdale, affecting hundreds of rural customers.

Linesmen were out yesterday afternoon, and it was expected power would be restored to most customers by evening. The damage the lightning had done was not major, but it was just time consuming chasing the faults down.

Frustrating wait for two major school rebuilds

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When more than $10 million has been promised to rebuild a large slice of your school, you have every reason to feel frustrated when the start date for work keeps getting pushed out, say two Ashburton school principals.

Early last year the Ministry of Education told Ashburton Intermediate School it would be getting a $7 million investment in new classrooms.

At the same time Allenton

School was told they’d be getting upgrade work and new teaching spaces worth up to $5 million.

Work on both projects was anticipated to start late last year.

Both schools are still waiting, still dealing with old and overcrowded classrooms.

The original start date has now become February, but the reality is it will be June next year at the earliest, Allenton principal Bruce Tilby said.

He’s been presented with two options for his work. His preferred option is for one that will

see three-quarters of his school demolished. This option will give him the space Allenton needs for its rapidly growing roll, but it comes with funding issues.

“We’ve already been given a seventh teaching space but that still leaves us short,” he said.

The ministry was about to appoint a quantity surveyor for both Allenton and Ashburton Intermediate’s project and the schools were waiting for an official project manager to be appointed.

The news wasn’t all bad, how-

ever, as the architect was well into the preliminary design work for the first block of teaching spaces, he said.

“We’ll need these regardless of which plan is finally chosen, but it’s been pretty frustrating.”

Intermediate school principal Brent Gray said he was in the same limbo space and while the delays were frustrating they were for the right reasons, he said.

The intermediate rebuild will see the school with $7 million invested in 13 new classroom spaces. All of the existing pre-

fab buildings will be removed.

When the rebuild is completed, only the two storey block and the school hall will remain.

One of the big downsides of the delayed building project was that all other work on the school’s campus was put on hold, Gray said.

“There are things we could do in the meantime, but we can’t spend the money.”

Ashburton College’s rebuild, likely to cost about $70 million a is scheduled to be completed in 2025.

Coster’s shearing record under threat Champion shearer Tony Coster, of Rakaia, made a rare competition appearance at the Christchurch show at the weekend and saw fellow shearer Nathan Stratford move closer to his open class win milestone.

Coster, who retired from competitive shearing in 2017, has 70plus open class wins and Stratford chalked up win number 69 when he won the open shearing final on Friday in Christchurch.

Stratford, from Southland, shore his 10 sheep in 14 minutes 31.56 seconds with 50.08 points while Coster finished fifth in the six-man final in 14.58.6 and 54.83 points.

Coster’s first open class win was in the Mid Canterbury circuit final in 1993 and he has been a national shearing championships circuit winner and New Zealand representative.

Stratford has now won the New Zealand Corriedale championships open shearing final in Christchurch three times and Friday’s win was a continuation of good early-season form.

He will travel to Dubbo, in New South Wales, on November 29 to shear in his 13th trans-Tasman test for New Zealand, teaming with fellow Southland shearer Troy Pyper and test match newcomer Paerata Abraham, of Mas-

In Christchurch, Stratford again produced his trademark quality to win by 2.2pts from runner-up and Wairarapa shearer David Buick,

who dominated the race with fastest-time of 12min 23.53sec for the 10 sheep, a week after his first win of the season at Feilding, while third place went to Matau-

ra shearer Brett Roberts, winner at both Ashburton and Pleasant Point in the previous fortnight.

The heats, which constituted the third round of the PGG

Wrightson National Circuit, attracted 22 entries. They were headed by Hawke’s Bay shearer and former Canterbury show winner John Kirkpatrick. His day, however, ended in the semi-finals, and he was soon back on his way north where he won the Central Hawke’s Bay A&P Show title on Saturday in Waipukurau.

Another hitting winning form in Christchurch in time for the Dubbo tests was veteran blades shearer Tony Dobbs, winning the Show’s Golden Blades title for the 18th time and claiming the 98th win of his Open-class bladeshearing career.

But it was almost as close as it gets with Dobbs winning by just 0.08pts from 2017 winner and North Canterbury shearer Allen Gemmell.

It was another big show for Gore shearer Ringakaha Paewai, successfully defending the Canterbury circuit title, in a final of six shearers qualifying from 11 competitions in the region dating back to the 2018 show in Christchurch.

It was only the third open win of Paewai’s career but he’d shown he was ready with second placings in two shows in the fortnight beforehand. He won by 0.82pts from former winner Troy Pyper, now based in Canterbury.

A look back in time

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

Unless you grew up in Ashburton, it might be a bit hard to tell what area it is that is in the picture that goes along with this story, such are the changes the area has seen.

The area is the northern end of Tinwald, with Carters Terrace cutting an angled line on the left-hand side, State Highway 1 running parallel with the bottom of the photo and Wilkins Street on the right-hand side of the photograph.

In a block that now contains Cafe Time, Lushingtons and is packed full of houses was once not much more than a handful of houses and nursery space, with most

of the area believed to be part of the Millichamps Nursery.

The photo is in the possession of Marie Bennett who lives on Wilkins Street and remembers many of the elements of the photo, including walking through the nursery to get to work on Carters Terrace, or the large oak tree at Carters Terrace that can be seen in the photo and is thought to be more than 120 years old.

We would love to hear from anybody that might know when this image was taken, or might have an interesting story about something contained in the image.

Tackling unspoken rules of healthy masculinity He said the unspoken rules such as “boys don’t cry” have a negative impact on young men.

“It puts real pressure on boys to behave in certain ways,” he said.

“They suppress their emotions and their individuality and this can have a real effect on their mental health. It begins to create unhealthy attitudes that can affect how they treat their partners.”

The South Island Ride is now in its ninth year, having started in 2011. Each year the riders send out a registration of interest to communities and build the ride around those towns that are keen to have them visit and promote their anti-violence messages.

In brief

Mid Canterbury Hospice manager Christine Wilson is chuffed at a Mitre 10 donation for $461.

The hardware store, represented by Lisa Scammell, marketing, and Lyn Church, community support co-ordinator, raised the money at its annual home and garden evening.

Tough looking men and women on motorcycles are on a weeklong tour promoting healthy masculinity as part of White Ribbon’s Challenge the #Unspoken Rules campaign.

The group will stop in Ashburton on Friday, November 22 for two separate events; one at the Holy Name Catholic Church at 11.45am for an hour before heading across to St Joseph’s School for an hour an a half in the afternoon.

South Island Ride leader Ken Mahon said that if boys weren’t encouraged to show emotions such as sadness and anger in healthy ways, it could lead to bottling up of emotions, mental health challenges, aggression, and violence.

Ashburton Guardian

“This is my first year as the Ride leader so I’m really chuffed about that.

“We have a great team of riders with a range of skills. Some are great at talking to students, some can play the guitar and so far they’re all very proficient riders.”

The key thing is that they are caring people who want to help reduce the terrible rates of violence in our communities.

“When 41 per cent of a frontline officer’s time is spent dealing with family violence, you know we have a serious problem.

“This is the first year we are talking about the myths that we pass down to our children.

“The men I’ve talked to all responded to these messages.

“They’ve all heard these #Unspoken Rules and experienced the negative impacts that occur when you believe you shouldn’t cry, or that you have to toughen up or be the man.”

This year the message is to let both adults and young men know, that being a man is about so much more than being tough.

It’s about being kind, empathetic and being confident in who you are, not feeling the pressure to be an outdated stereotype.

The riders attend a range of events each year from marches, community days, school visits, talks at Corrections, and this year the riders even get to meet the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall who has a particular interest in family violence.

Tornado rips through Chch suburb NZME Two people have been injured after a tornado hit a Christchurch suburb.

Fire and Emergency said a roof collapsed at a SaveMart in Sydenham due to the tornado.

Two patients, both with moderate injuries, were taken to Christchurch Hospital, St John said.

Both people injured were inside the building at the time.

A Fire and Emergency spokesperson said there had also been a multitude of calls following the tornado, with reports of roofs being torn off and air conditioning units falling off buildings.

Canterbury Weather Updates tweeted that there were reports of “minor damage and more sightings”.

A man said a tornado ripped through his parents’ house in Christchurch.

His mother told him that she saw a tornado spiralling through the yard, which caused her to be blown over while she was closing the door.

It also sent objects from the backyard flying through the window.

A stationary truck also managed to be blown from one side of the yard to the other.

“It has literally picked up a truck and moved it across the yard,” he said.

“Those yellow bins were flying round the yard in a tornado-like thing. It’s passed over now. Bloody hell. Terrible experience,” his mum said.

Alison Kendall of Richmond Discount Furniture near Linwood College in East Christchurch said the tornado blew a Toyota Hiace fruit and vegetable truck outside

her shop into a fence about 20 metres away.

“It was horrific. I don’t know how much damage it’s doing as it goes around the area,” she said.

She said she ran to shut the large main door of her shop when she heard hail, but tripped and fell sideways at the door.

“Next minute I’m hearing the windows smashing,” she said. “I jumped back again and came over to where the windows smashed. You could see that the tornado sucked them out, it didn’t blow anything into them. It was like a huge dust storm, I’ve never experienced anything like it.”

She said the fruit and vegetable shop next door had a lot of produce containers stacked outside and they were “flying everywhere”.

“He had his truck parked outside. That ended up over by the fence 20 metres away,” she said.

“I had a lady pull up in her car and said, ‘Can I come in to take shelter?’ She was terrified and said there were pieces of roof flying off in Fitzgerald Ave.” The tornado hit about the same time as hail rained down on the city.

MetService said a Severe Thunderstorm Warning has since been lifted for the Canterbury radar area.

Meanwhile, a house has been hit by lightning near Palmerston, Otago, as wild weather hit large parts of the South Island.

A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said it received a call at 1.10pm reporting a lightning strike on Palmerston-Hampden Road in the Waitaki District town 50km north of Dunedin.

The strike had blown fuses and blown power points off the wall.

No one was injured in the strike, he said.

‘Dangerous’ man sought after woman’s body found NZME Police are seeking a 31-year-old man in relation to the death of a 22-year-old woman in Invercargill on Sunday.

Southland Area Police Commander Mike Bowman said officers were seeking to locate 31-year-old Samuel Samson in relation to the incident.

“Samson is considered dangerous and should not be approached,” he said.

“Anyone who has seen Samson or has information regarding his whereabouts should call 111 immediately.

“Information can also be provided anonymously

through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

“Specialist investigators are continuing to work at the North Road address where the victim was located around 11am yesterday.

“Police are providing support to her family at this difficult time.”

Bowman said on Sunday that police had launched a homicide investigation into the death after the woman’s body was found at an address in North Road, Waikiwi, at 11am on Sunday.

“The investigation is in the early stages and officers would like to speak to anyone who

saw or heard anything suspicious in the North Road area between Weka Street and West Plains Road, between 9pm [Saturday] night and 9am [on Sunday],” he said then.

Later he said officers would like to speak to anyone who may have seen any unusual activity or suspicious vehicles in the Fosbender Park and Oreti River areas near Dunns Road between approximately 3.30am and 9am on Sunday.

Earnings, revenue will be down, says Sky Sky shares were down 6.32 per cent to 89c in early afternoon trading yesterday after the company predicted more headwinds in 2020.

Before the market opened, the pay TV provider offered its first earnings guidance for its 2020 financial year yesterday, saying it expects revenue between $750 million and $770m and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of $170m between $190m.

For fiscal 2019, Sky had ebitda of $230m (against the year-ago $285m) on revenue that fell 6.8 per cent to $795m.

The pay-TV provider says its guidance reflects its recent purchase of global streaming player RugbyPass in a deal worth up to US$40m and other new content and production deals, plus the cost of its continuing moves to upgrade its streaming services.

Sky said the new guidance also accounted for its Sky Sport Next initiative, which focuses on grassroots sports, as well as new lease accounting standards.

The company said it wanted to highlight the investments and Sky’s transformation programme again because there was a wide range of analysts’ forecasts that may not have appropriately reflected the change in accounting standards, the acquisition of RugbyPass, and new content.

Sky shares – already touching an all-time low – sank 7 per cent to $1.13 on August 22 as the company revealed reduced adjusted net profit (and a massive paper loss of $607.8m on the back of write-downs) and suspended its dividend for the foreseeable future.

The company says it will have to pay more for rights and programming as it faces a sports insurgency from Spark, and entertainment companies like Disney (with Disney+) and HBO (with HBO Max, launching in May next year) who are using new streaming services to reach viewers directly.

Disney+ launches in New Zealand today.

He also said the new coincides with wage bargaining for 787 cabin crew.

“We have 650 787 Dreamliner cabin crew in negotiations for a new collective agreement and the engine problems have changed the parameters of what has been, at times, a very tense negotiation,” he said.

There’s been concern about corrosion of turbine blades towards the back of the engines since 2016 and a replacement programme has been in place.

A conservative approach has been taken following the compressor alert.

Twin-engine aircraft are designed and certified to fly safely for hours on just one engine if the other fails.

But with the Rolls-Royce engines under scrutiny, there are concerns that if used at full power, the good engine may also suffer damage and the Federal Aviation Administration has warned there is an increased likelihood of it failing before a diversion can be completed.

Thousands of customers will be affected by changes to Air New Zealand flight schedules over the holiday period.

The airline said the changes are necessary due to ongoing global issues impacting some RollsRoyce engines on its Boeing 787-9 aircraft.

The airline said as many as 14,000 customers would be affected by the scheduling changes.

The most significant change announced yesterday is the suspension of its twice-weekly seasonal Christchurch-Perth service, resulting in the cancellation of 62 flights.

The airline will also cancel its second daily Auckland-Perth service from December 10, 2019 until January 5 2020.

Outside the Perth route, a limited number of international cancellations will also take place from December 10-January 2.

The airline said would start processing customers’ bookings this week and then start to contact af-

fected customers directly.

Customers booked via a travel agent (including online travel agents) will be contacted by their booking agent.

Customers have been urged to go to Air New Zealand’s Travel Alerts section for updates on the issue. The airline will also be using social media to keep customers informed.

Air New Zealand senior manager of customer care and communications Doug Grant said that while the airline never expected to still be facing issues with RollsRoyce Trent 1000 engines, it’s focused on minimising impact to customers.

“Going into the holiday season we’re acutely aware how important travel is to our customers, and our schedule changes are designed to keep cancellations to a minimum,” Grant said.

“Unfortunately, around 14,000 customers will be impacted by cancellations and we thank them in advance for their understanding.”

OUR VIEW

Hot pools a coup for Mid Canty T

he money is in the bank and now, after a long and winding road to get to just this point, it would seem that the Opuke Thermal Pools and Spa in Methven is set to become a reality.

And for the Ashburton District, this is big news.

The prospect of something further to enhance the tourism appeal of our little corner of New Zealand is one we should be welcoming with open arms as any potential influx of visitors to our region is a positive one – irrespective of their cause for stopping by.

Just getting to this point though, has been a huge undertaking.

Many will remember the

project being first mentioned almost a decade ago and while there were many skeptical about the idea ever actually happening, a large number of people got behind the idea and invested in the initial proposal.

Their faith, and confidence in the project looks set to be rewarded.

It’s taken a huge amount of dedication and patience by those involved as they’ve struck

many road blocks and issues which at times have threatened to derail the whole plan – but with the $7.5 million capital required to get the project over the line now achieved it should be all systems go.

Many of us in this district have spent time at either Hanmer or Tekapo using their facilities and will have observed just how vital their pools are to their continued success and popularity and while it may never quite reach those dizzying heights, the central locality of Methven should make it an appealing place to stop for visitors.

With a wealth of people already in town for the winter months with Mt Hutt buzzing above, an all-year-round location

should also give renewed hope to the business community of the small town which often struggles through the winter months once the ski season dies down and those there to work and play depart.

The news last week that the capital had been raised and the land sale agreement with the Methven Trotting Club, who owned the land on which the pools are proposed to be built on, continues an exciting 12 months for the Ashburton District.

Although it’s been quiet in the past few months, there is still the prospect of the proposed Sports Campus out at Lake Hood to boost the district economy and some big money set to be spent

on improving the quality of some of our educational facilities too.

We often tend to worry a lot about the negative and potentially damaging things that interfere with everyday life living in a district like this, so it’s important that we take a step back too and celebrate the positives when they do come along.

For many, our district has been one which you tend to just drive through to reach a destination on either side of us, so the more appealing and potentially alluring things we have up our sleeve to perhaps encourage people to stop and see what we have to offer the better.

And the list of those potential options is getting longer by the month.

In 2017, Charles Manson, the hippie cult leader behind the gruesome murders of actress Sharon Tate and six others in Los Angeles in 1969, died in a California hospital at the age of 83 after nearly a half-century in prison.

Ten years ago: President Barack Obama wrapped up his weeklong Asia trip in South Korea, where he said the United States had begun talking with allies about fresh punishment against Iran for defying efforts to halt its nuclear weapons pursuits. Five years ago: Defying Congress, President Barack Obama ordered sweeping changes in US immigration policy possibly

affecting as many as 5 million living illegally in the country.

One year ago: Nissan said the company’s chairman, Carlos Ghosn, had been arrested for allegedly under-reporting his income and misusing company funds.

Thought for today: “You can always tell gifted and highly intelligent people as they always turn to the past. Any young person who knows anything that happened before 1980, or 1990, or 2000 for that matter, is immediately someone who is intelligent, probably creative, maybe a writer. Nobody who is drawn to the past and learning about the past is not gifted.” — Mike Nichols (film director, born in 1931, died on this date in 2014).

PRESS COUNCIL

In an age of environmental awareness it is frustrating those who demand a higher standard of stewardship from farmers have had the wool pulled over their eyes when they purchase the synthetic products and ignore superior natural alternatives.

Burning question for Sky City – why not use wool insulation?

D

ominating the news late last month was the fire in the ceiling of the partly built convention centre at Sky City.

The inferno is thought to have started in the straw (that’s right straw!) installed as roof insulation.

As a farmer I was shaking my head over the wisdom of installing such a flammable product in a building. During dry periods farmers are constantly aware of the fire risk straw presents to their properties and manage these risks by either using livestock to eat the grasses, reducing fuel for possible fires, or by putting firebreaks around paddocks.

It’s been reported Sky City wanted a more environmentally friendly product for insulation and acoustics than synthetic alternatives.

Understandable. But why didn’t they use a far safer,

Miles Anderson FROM THE FARM

ecologically-friendly, natural and renewable insulation that is produced on 93 per cent of sheep farms in New Zealand – crossbred wool.

Wool is classified into three main categories, fine, medium and strong. In general, fine and medium wools are spun into garments that can be worn next to the skin and strong wool (commonly called crossbred) is spun into carpets and heavier fabrics such as tweed.

In recent years the fine and medium wools have experienced high demand and firm farmgate prices. But strong wools have suffered low demand

and record low prices – one of the reasons for the shrinking national flock.

Unfortunately, synthetics, which are flammable and shed microfibres into the environment, have overtaken strong wool as the fibre of choice in carpets, jackets and other products.

But a number of manufacturers have been making insulation out of crossbred wool – insulation that is superior to all other products available for several reasons.

Wool is natural and renewable, doesn’t shed microfibres or toxic fumes, is a carbon store, absorbs moisture from damp air and releases it when air is dry, is biodegradable and does not burn.

All of these qualities should make wool the insulation of choice with the added bonus of it being far more pleasant to work with than the alternatives.

And it is grown and manufactured here in New Zealand.

The report into the 2017 Grenfell Towers fire in London also makes for grim reading.

A main contributing factor to the loss of lives was the choice of insulation – a polystyrene product made from hydrocarbons that is flammable and releases toxic smoke when burnt.

If woollen insulation was used instead there may well not have been the casualties that occurred two years ago.

In an age of environmental awareness it is frustrating those who demand a higher standard of stewardship from farmers have had the wool pulled over their eyes when they purchase the synthetic products and ignore superior natural alternatives.

LETTERS Fuel price Last week I travelled from Amberley to Ashburton and noted the price of 91 grade fuel at six service stations on the journey.

The prices, without the use of any discount cards, varied between 2.09.9 and 2.16.9 dollars per litre.

At service stations in Ashburton on the same day the same product was priced between 2.27.9 and 2.31.9 dollars per litre.

Does this mean that it costs approximately 15 cents per litre to transport fuel between Christchurch and Ashburton or has a more devious situation been hatched locally?

MARKET REPORT

By Guy Trafford

I

t’s still a year out from the elections and already farmers and land owners are marching on Parliament.

In this case it is to highlight the concerns farmers have regarding the open access overseas investors have to purchase land to convert to forestry without having to meet any of the normal controls or constraints overseas investors normally have to go through.

The march, organised by the lobby group 50 Shades of Green, while targeting foreign investment, is likely to be also used as a vehicle for venting frustrations farmers are feeling at the onslaught of new regulations and the associated cost.

The appearance from the rural side-lines is that some (vocal) sectors of non-rural folk see farmers as privileged and getting more than their fair share from society.

However, when it comes to services that certainly isn’t the case.

You just have to move away from the main state highways, and sometimes just leaving town limits will achieve the same, to find that not only will cellphone coverage disappear but road quality rapidly deteriorates.

Speak to any farmer and you will get a list of complaints regarding cost of rates and lack of services.

Road berms have to be mown, sometimes hundreds of metres or more, water may be supplied to the gate but at a steep price, and rubbish may be collected but also at an extra price.

Most likely download speed of internet is at a speed that impacts upon productivity.

On a good day ours is 0.7Mbps (and often well below), apparently the New Zealand average is 21 times faster at 14.7Mbps.

Roading appears to be getting worse with patching (badly) the norm to the point where our local council has put up lower maximum speed signs rather than repair the road.

Many may view the rural lifestyle through rose-tinted spectacles with many partaking of lifestyle living.

However, based on CoreLogic’s numbers from last year and looking at the wider Auckland region, the average urban house is owned for nine years while lifestyle blocks for only four. Some regions are far lower than this with Porirua nine and one.

So, while many may wish to partake of the rural lifestyle it appears not everyone is cut

out for it. Obviously, everyone has a choice but that doesn’t mean that there is not an equity issue regarding services – after all we pay the same fees for internet, cellphones, petrol tax, etc.

The issue with the conversion of good farmland to forestry is that these (poor) services will be even further reduced.

Health, schooling and banking services can all be added to the list of essential services that have been on the decline.

While the government, through Shane Jones and Damien O’Connor, have said they will review the lack of any oversight of foreign investment into forestry, little has been translated into action.

Whether the latest actions will move the Government to look into their policy closer is unlikely. Their response to the march was for Shane Jones to call them “rednecks” and Damien O’Connor inferred the farmers’ points were “fiction” and didn’t stay to engage in any conversation.

Back on October 7 RNZ did a piece which showed that the four largest private land owners in New Zealand are all foreign-owned and all forestry.

Foreign ownership of New Zealand assets in itself may not be a bad thing, bringing in additional funds and purchasing power.

However, without some sort of requirement to provide additional benefits, it is the rural communities that bear the negative aspects of having absentee owners.

While media coverage of the protest march was reasonably extensive the lack of attending numbers discounted the message somewhat. Thousands were ‘promised’ to attend but in reality, only hundreds fronted.

The irony is that, economically, returns for most farming systems are doing well.

So, given that finances are not the driver it perhaps shows the depth of feelings many farmers have that has led them to go on to the streets.

Markets The season continues to be a good one for most farmers with the strong livestock prices for most categories and the weather playing its part as well. Venison is the only fly in the cream.

Sheep The mutton schedule lifted again at several processors and a small lift for lamb. The most important aspect is nothing has come back in price.

The same trend continues on into the saleyards with strong pricing largely dependent upon quality.

Wool Held at the Agricultural Show in Christchurch, viewers saw a welcome lift in wool at last week’s Christchurch sale.

While the coarse line increases were modest, the finer grades had some quite large lifts. Part of the increase can be put down to more quality wools coming through but the market did have a more positive note.

Cattle A similar story to sheep meat (again) with the manufacturing grades showing a lift and prime holding onto the previous gains.

The average lifted somewhat with prime range meats in Southland having a large lift to join the pack. Perhaps indicating they have new markets for prime cuts.

Dairy We have to wait for this week’s Global Dairy Trade Auction to see if the previous gains are locked in. Commentators are starting to talk about a $7.50 payout for this season.

The Fonterra share price has surprisingly reversed the recent trend and fallen back to the $4 mark.

The only news that may have upset shareholders could be the resignation of Deborah Capill, the recently appointed managing director of people and culture (HR); but this seems unlikely.

Venison The downward trend continues with a 15¢ trim from most schedules.

Venison is starting to close in on the lamb price now. Great for lamb but disappointing for deer farmers.

Farm tweaks reduce nitrogen losses

By Dairy NZ Improving the environment one step at a time is the focus for the Everest family on their dairy farm near Ashburton.

The farm is managed by Paul Everest, and owned by Phil and Jos Everest. Phil has worked as a farm consultant and works parttime on the farm.

They milk 750 cows at Flemington Farm – a 221 hectare milking platform. The family have a commitment to creating an attractive environment for staff, animals and the community.

“We also want to provide a friendly and co-operative work environment, and to focus on achieving the best milk production we can – predominantly from grass,” Phil said.

Flemington Farm has been a certified Lead with Pride supplier for Synlait for over four years.

Suppliers must have a Farm Environmental Plan and report on animal welfare, milk quality, social responsibility (people) and the environment. The programme and plan indicate that small changes in on-farm practices or weather conditions can change their nitrogen loss profile.

It is one of 30 farms participating in a DairyNZ project in Selwyn and Hinds which is working with farmers to identify options to help reduce nitrogen losses to meet local zone requirements.

The farm is located on heavy clay soils that are tile drained. The Everests have installed three centre pivots and one of their irrigators uses water efficient variable rate irrigation. Effluent is injected through two of the pivots at a 10 per cent rate, equivalent to an effluent application of 1-2mm/day.

Efficient water use and minimal drainage mean that Flemington’s nitrogen losses were only 22kg of nitrogen per hectare in 2015/16.

“Being involved in the Selwyn Hinds project has given us the opportunity to carefully review our options,” Phil said.

“We are prepared to give different things a go.”

“We introduced a 10-year programme to incorporate plantain, chicory and Italian ryegrass into our pasture mix,” he said.

Just over 60 per cent of Flem-

ington’s paddocks have now been sown with this mix. Phil said this could significantly reduce their nitrogen losses, but they will have to wait for Overseer modelling to be updated in 2020 to see the impact of these changes.

The Everests have also been using N-protect urea in late spring and summer. This reduces volatilisation in warm weather and can reduce nitrogen losses by up to 10 per cent.

Another way the Everests plan to reduce their nitrogen losses is by improving their in-calf rates. They have been working with their vet and LIC to improve breeding performance so fewer replacement cows need to be introduced to the farm. Phil said that this strategy will take time to achieve results.

Although the farm used more fertiliser this spring than planned, due to challenging conditions, Phil said the changes they have introduced mean the farm is largely on track to meet its 2025 nitrogen leaching target. However, they will be looking for some new science-based options to help them meet their 2035 nitrogen-loss reduction targets.

The government’s proposals to introduce new bottom line targets for nitrogen in water is also a concern for Phil and other local farmers and it has caused a lot of

uncertainty in the community.

“As farmers, we care for the environment and we can make good progress through steady, incremental improvements where

everybody does their bit,” Phil said.

“But we need to strike a good balance between social, economic and environmental concerns.”

Kia ora Ashburton

By Tanya Zoe Robinson

M

any people who don’t see themselves as speakers of te reo Maori might still be surprised at just how many words they know, if they were to add up not just place names but also everyday sayings, names for objects, greetings and expressions.

Part of this familiarity is no doubt due to growth over the past few decades in the use of te reo in schools, newspapers, in spoken language, signage, and in opportunities for informal and formal learning.

While this increase in te reo around us may seem new, this hasn’t always been the case since the arrival of English as Aotearoa New Zealand’s second language.

Early settlers were dependent on Maori for many things and had to quickly learn to speak the language, to trade, exchange ideas, form relationships and communicate effectively.

For the first half-century or so of European settlement, Maori language was a common way of communicating.

Maoriland While at first, many new colonial settlers arrived in New Zealand with a mix of origins and accents, it didn’t take long until families grew.

From about 1886 more than half of all non-Maori people living in Aotearoa New Zealand had been born here, and many understood and used te reo, or words and expressions borrowed from it, with confidence.

While increasingly English became the dominant language of New Zealand, these new New Zealanders were also interested in what gave their new nation a unique identity.

It is therefore not surprising that about this time the kiwi began to be adopted as a national symbol, and that from about the 1880s to the 1920s, Aotearoa New Zealand was often popularly known as Maoriland.

This familiarity, pride and sense of identity can be seen in a number of images and objects in the collections at Ashburton Museum.

Taking the example of just one familiar expression – Kia ora – it’s notable how widespread the understanding of its meaning

1. An arch with the words “Haere-mai, Haere-mai, Kia-ora” above the gates that welcomed the Prince of Wales to Ashburton Domain in 1921.

2. A postcard of Tancred Street, taken from East Street ,shows the sign for the Kia Ora Tearooms about halfway along the left-hand side of the street.

3. An embossed tin with a tiki and the words NZ Kia Ora on the lid.

4. A leather book cover with a yellow kowhai flower painted on front and “Kia Ora” on the back flap.

5. Members of the Kia Ora Cricket Club, who won the Ashburton Junior competition, 1934–35. From left to right, back row: SM Cassidy, L Moore, OJ Stills, L Chambers, H Lennon, VJ Stills, GV Furby; front row: T McNally, R Wear, SW Kerr, J Dillon, H Jordan, F Holloway.

has been, and how adaptable its adoption, for a variety of purposes.

Kia ora koutou When the Prince of Wales was being driven through the decorated Coronation gates at the Ashburton Domain in 1921, the words that greeted him were “Haere-mai, Haere-mai, Kiaora,” painted boldly above the arch of the gates.

The Kia Ora Tearooms were once a popular spot for a meal break.

Owned first by Charles Beech, then businesswomen Collorick and Kennedy, and later Irving, they were located on Tancred Street.

The Kia Ora Tearooms later became Salts Café and continued under other names until the mid-twentieth century.

The Kia Ora Cricket Club was established in 1931, having formerly been the St Stephen’s club.

They were a busy club, playing a mix of competitive and social or friendly games, and hosting socials, euchre parties and dances for members through until at least the 1950s.

While each of these short histories are encapsulated through photographs in the museum collection, several objects in the collection are also a reminder of the use of te reo.

An example is a small metal tin with an embossed tiki and the words NZ Kia Ora on the lid.

While today the tin is empty, it’s thought it was once possibly

used as a tobacco tin by a soldier, or for keeping small items.

No similar tins are known to exist and slight variations in the embossing suggest the design may have been handmade, rather than the tin bought with the design in place.

Another is a soft, leather book cover with a yellow kowhai flower painted on front and Kia Ora on the back flap. It once belonged to Miss Warrington, late of Springburn, and of Dobson Street.

A fine example is a hand carved ornamental breadboard, once a very popular object to carve. In the centre it features the words Kia Ora surrounded by the North and South Islands, silver ferns, and customary whakairo designs with paua shell inserts.

On back is a note explaining that the whakairo (carving) was given to Jenny Harris in 1945 by a Rangi from Mangatarata, Ngatea in the North Island.

Under the top section are carved intertwining hands, no doubt representing a friendship, a very fitting symbol to accompany this popular and widespread greeting.

Mid Canterbury Junior Tennis Draw

Verstappen in thriller AP Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won Formula One’s Brazilian Grand Prix yesterday for his eighth career victory in a race which ended badly for both Ferrari drivers.

It also finished poorly for sixtime world champion Lewis Hamilton, who caused Red Bull’s Alexander Albon to spin near the end and deprived him of his first podium.

A post-race five-second punishment for Hamilton demoted the Mercedes driver from third to seventh place.

Brazil marked Verstappen’s third win this season, after victories in Austria and Germany.

He started from pole position in Sao Paulo – the second pole of his career.

The result moved the 22-yearold Verstappen to third place in the drivers’ championship, already won by Hamilton. Verstappen is 11 points ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc with only the Abu Dhabi GP on December 1 to go.

The victory in Brazil gives some relief to Verstappen, who in 2018 led here for much of the race but finished second after touching backmarker Esteban Ocon’s car.

The Dutch driver had an angry altercation with Ocon afterward, and the race was won by Hamilton.

This year was different, with

Max Verstappen was just too fast in the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Verstappen appearing mostly unstoppable all weekend long.

Unlike the Ferraris.

A dramatic late collision on the 66th lap at Interlagos between four-time champion Sebastian Vettel and Leclerc happened when they were fighting for fourth position. Both failed to finish.

On team radio, Vettel blamed Leclerc for a puncture that caused him to stop.

Leclerc was forced out shortly after. Following the race, both drivers said they were “disappointed,” but refused to expand on what had happened between them.

Toro Rosso’s Pierre Gasly came second for his first F1 podium, only 0.062 seconds ahead of

Hamilton before his penalty.

Gasly was demoted from Red Bull earlier this season to feeder team Toro Rosso and it was a poignant podium for the French driver and he screamed with delight after crossing the finish line.

In a race watched by more than 70,000 fans, Hamilton and Albon had fought for second place with only two laps to go, and Hamilton’s punishment gave McLaren’s Carlos Sainz third place.

Sainz had started from 20th on the grid and, like Gasly, it was his first F1 podium.

Hamilton said Verstappen was “just quicker than us on the straights” and “there was nothing more we could do.”

Big weekend of golf coming up

By Matt Markham

matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

They’re coming from far and wide and the more than 120 golfers who will converge on the Methven Golf Course this weekend will be treated to two fantastic days of golf at the annual Methven Multi-Sponsored Tournament on Saturday and Sunday.

A popular event on the calendar, not only for the locals but for those from all around New Zealand, this weekend’s edition of the

tournament will see more than 25 individual clubs represented with 60 entries in the men’s division and 25 in the ladies thus far.

And Methven haven’t turned the tap off on entries just yet either.

“We’d like to get a few more in there if we could,” club golf co-ordinator, Bruce Dickson, said.

“It’s a great tournament each year and we’ve got a fantastic line-up already with players com-

The Methven Golf Course will be alive this weekend when a big number of players step out for the Multi-Sponsored tournament.

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN ing from as far away as Wellington to compete.”

With new faces and new clubs coming on board this year to take part, organisers have elected to introduce some new features to the tournament with prizes for the visiting club with two or more players who produce the best scores.

The tournament this year has

a new naming rights sponsor in the Methven Resort who have come on board for the first time and Dickson said the club was indebted to them, and all of their sponsors.

“I think we’ve got somewhere in the vicinity of 80 different sponsors for the event, which is fantastic,” Dickson said.

“The Methven Resort have

been fantastic and we’re looking forward to working with them for the event.”

Played over both days of the weekend, the tournament begins with a pairs, best-ball round on Saturday before an individual effort on the Sunday.

“It’s usually a very even tournament and everyone who enters seems to really enjoy themselves.”

Kiwi doubles star beaten in ATP Final Raven Klaasen and Michael Venus were pipped in the ATP Final in London.

PHOTO AP

New Zealand’s Michael Venus and his South African doubles partner Raven Klaasen have finished runners-up at the ATP Finals in London.

They’ve been beaten by Australian Open champions, the French pair of Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut 6-3 6-4 in 1 hour 10 minutes.

Venus and Klaasen had their chances particularly against the Mahut serve but in the end came up short on the big points and were let down by some double faults from Klaasen who was broken once in each set.

Venus was in trouble and 15-40 in his opening service game but saved 3 break points to level at 1-1 and then he and Klaasen had 3 break points on Mahut in the next service game.

On the second a Venus backhand volley hit the top of the net and Mahut went on to hold.

That was as close as it got for Venus and Klaasen in the first set.

The South African dished up two double faults in his first service game and

Herbert fired a backhand winner past him to break serve.

Venus saved two break points to hold serve in the opening game of the second set and Mahut saved a break point in the 6th game.

But at 3-3 Klaasen found himself in a spot of trouble at 0-30. He got back to 30-30 but at 30-40 served a double fault and was broken for the second time in the match as the 8th seeds took control.

Venus held serve for 4-5 but Mahut then served out the match.

Herbert and Mahut will take home $832,000 between them while Venus and Klaasen share $451,000. The 32-year-old Kiwi will end the year ranked among the world’s top 10 doubles players with his projected ranking to go to nine.

Meanwhile Stefanos Tsitsipas crowned an incredible year as he battled back to beat Austrian Dominic Thiem 6-7(6) 6-2 7-6(4) to win the singles title.

The 21-year-old Tsitsipas becomes the youngest winner of the tournament since Lleyton Hewitt, aged 20, won it in 2001.

Heavy loss for Mid Canterbury U15

By Matt Markham

matt.m@theguardian,co.nz

The Mid Canterbury Under 15 representative cricket side had a tough day on the wicket on Sunday when they took on neighbours, Canterbury Country, at the Ashburton Domain.

Thrown the ball to kick the match off after losing the toss, the Mid Canterbury lads would have been bouyed when they had one of the Canterbury Country batsmen back inside the shed within the first 10 overs.

But a steady stream of runs which followed and a 71-run third wicket partnership turned a promising position into a difficult one as the Canterbury Country top order settled into their work.

Scores of 28, 57 and 36 for their number two, three and four batsmen gave them a great platform from which to launch and despite losing wickets at a reasonably frequent rate from the 26th over, they managed to work their way through to 271-9 from their 50 overs.

Sam Orr and Hamish O’Reilly were the pick of the bowlers with two wickets each, while both Toby Robinson and Lachie Jemmett were particularly miserly with the ball in hand.

In reply, Mid Canterbury’s response didn’t get off to the best of starts with three of their players back in the sheds inside the first 10 overs and it was really only a handy effort from Seb McMillan which saved the day.

He scored 48 in a 70-ball innings but was the last of the Mid Canterbury batsmen to fall in the 40th as they were rolled for 131 – 140 runs short of their target.

Sam Lambie looks to get the ball past the batsmen in Mid Canterbury Under 15’s defeat at the hands of Canterbury Country on Sunday.

Why the Breakers’ bad-boy image isn’t fine

By Dylan Cleaver

W

ell that didn’t go so well, did it?

The Breakers’ colourful season of calamity has taken on a darker shade of shame with the entirely predictable downfall of Glen Rice Jr. But hey, at least people are talking about them!

If the early years of this decade seem like another lifetime, it’s not just a neat time-warp trick: in terms of the Breakers of then that won four championships in five years, and the Breakers of now that lurch from one embarrassment to the next, they are essentially another club.

The Breakers under the ownership of the Blackwells embodied the sort of team that was easy to admire, even if it was in a low-key way.

They were coached to three championships by Australian Andrej Lemanis, a basketball nerd who behaved with all the animation of a high school chemistry teacher, and then protégé Dean

Vickerman. They had a roster full of gritty role players who got as much of a kick out of diving for a loose ball as they did for a rim-rattling dunk.

You wouldn’t fill too many highlights reels with the work of Paul Henare, Mika Vukona and Dillon Boucher but you knew you were going to get full-blooded, yet intelligent performances from them every time they put on the singlet.

With shrewd import signings – what would the club do for a peak Cedric Jackson now? – and some quality Australian veterans, the Breakers cracked the ANBL code.

They were a team that played up above the sum of their parts.

The Breakers under the ownership of the Matt Walsh-headed consortium: they just play up.

The family values espoused by the Blackwells and enforced by the club’s coaching and senior players has been replaced by a pseudo-NBA ethos, where the product is only as good as the hype surrounding it.

Much of the connective tissue to the Breakers’ glory days has

been severed. Henare quit as coach after the 2017 season.

Boucher, who was fast-tracked from playing ranks to the GM’s office, left on the eve of this season.

Most curiously, assistant coach Mike Fitchett quit in the airport after the Breakers’ pre-season trip to the States, admitting that his coaching philosophy didn’t gel with director of basketball Dan Shamir.

The talk in New Zealand’s loosely-knit basketball community is that Fitchett is far from Robinson Crusoe on this point, yet it was another observation that should have rung alarm bells.

“The thing the Blackwells did – and it’s something that’s important to me personally – was just the emphasis on developing Kiwi players. They’ve gone a different direction under Matt, and that’s fine.”

Is it though?

Is a direction that leads you from young Kiwi talent to Rice Jr “fine” under any circumstances?

“The stability and underlying values of the Breakers is exactly the environment someone like

Glen needs,” Walsh said at the time of the signing.

Let’s unpack that.

Losing a GM and an assistant coach as the season was two ticks of the clock from tip-off is not stability.

The “underlying values” of the club are what exactly? We know what they used to be, but can any club that is part-owned by Barstool Sports preach about values?

Perhaps Rice Jr was having his own Blackout Party when he happened into his little midweek “incident”.

“Incidents” was the word Shamir used to describe Rice Jr’s troubled past, which include arrests for battery, marijuana possession and reckless conduct. He has been suspended from multiple college and pro teams for non-basketball reasons, and in one notable case punched a team-mate in the face in the locker room.

He is to “incidents” what the Black Death was to “a touch of the flu”.)

The Rice Jr shambles is flat-out embarrassing, as is the team’s 2-7 record.

Less embarrassing, but worthy of note, is the sense that this team is being used as a thinly veiled audition for RJ Hampton’s NBA career. Good on Hampton, you can’t hold anything against the kid for doing all he can to maximise his career, but anybody who thinks there’s genuine benefits for New Zealand basketball in this is drinking a powerful batch of Kool-Aid. Yet people defend the Breakers leadership and point to record crowds this season as evidence the franchise is trending in the right direction after a couple of blah seasons.

In that world, hype is more important than hope; a hot ticket is more valuable than a winning one.

It’s an uncomfortable thought, one that must make the former owners wince.

When asked in the wake of Rice Jr’s suspension whether the Breakers now had a bad-boy image, Walsh said he didn’t believe so, but “if that’s the narrative people want to create, that’s fine”.

It’s actually not.

■■ FIRST GROUP WIN

■■SAN CARLO

Milestone for Hemi

Aussies aim for Auckland

NZME Central Districts jockey Leah Hemi experienced her biggest day in racing at Riccarton on Saturday, but admits the milestone is only just starting to sink in.

Hemi brought up her sixth stakes victory and first at Group level when riding home Dee And Gee to take out the Gr.3 Christchurch Casino New Zealand Cup (3200m).

“This one is definitely the biggest one because all of the other ones have been Listed races and this is the first Group race I have won,” she said.

It was just the second ride of the day for Hemi, who kept her perfect record on the day intact after winning aboard Riviera Rock earlier in the card.

“It’s pretty surreal.

“It still hasn’t sunk in yet because we were straight on a flight afterwards and there were races yesterday (Sunday),” she said.

“It was a great day, it just seemed to work out really well.

“We had a quiet week on the Wednesday and Saturday prior, so it all made up for it on the last day.”

The pair had gone close to a Cup victory before, having finished runner-up in the Gr.3 Wellington Cup (3200m) behind Gorbachev earlier this year, but they were able to make amends for that defeat on Saturday.

“The first time I rode her was when we ran second in the Wellington Cup,” Hemi said.

“I haven’t ridden her in quite a few months, but I knew she was a good candidate to win the race.

“I knew she could take it out.”

Hemi gave Dee And Gee a perfect trip and was delighted to get the win, although she admitted to feeling slightly concerned at the top of the straight.

“Everything panned out for me,” she said.

“The draw (barrier nine) was

“At the top of the corner I

thought we were in a world of trouble because she just went through a bit of a flat spot and I thought that was us done, but she really dug deep.”

While she has won the biggest race of her career, Hemi said she

would just like to remain active for the rest of the season.

“The last two or three seasons I have had quite a significant amount of time off through injury, so my biggest goal is to remain uninjured.”

■■HELD TO RANSOM

Alford chuffed with first training success

By Jonny Turner Canterbury horseman Jesse Alford became doubly popular with his family when scoring his first win as a trainer with Held To Ransom at Wyndham on Sunday.

Alford missed watching the victory up close after putting family before going to the races and took in the win while attending a baby shower for expectant partner Josie Reid.

Held To Ransom’s win meant Reid, who is due to give birth in January, did not just receive baby-related gifts at the celebration.

And the five-year-old’s victory meant she was not the only one

going home from the event with a present.

Alford races Held To Ransom with his mother, Petra Curnow, Reid, her brother, Campbell Reid, and her sister-in-law, Joelle Reid.

The trainer’s family members came into the mare’s ownership after Alford struck up a deal with his employer, Andrew Stuart.

“I joked to Andrew one day about five weeks ago, and said ‘would you take a certain amount of money for the horse?”’ Alford said.

“He looked at me and said ‘yes’, so, I messaged a couple of people that I knew were keen on getting a horse.”

The purchase of the pacer

prompted Alford to apply for his trainer’s licence. Alford did not have to wait long to strike his first success with that licence as Held To Ransom’s win came in just his second start for his stable.

The Cantabrian was keen to purchase the Live Or Die mare as he and Stuart were both aware of the horse’s ability.

She has been unable to show much of her potential at the races because of hoof problems.

Alford trains Held To Ransom at Woodend Beach to help the mare’s battle with her feet issues.

Sunday’s win gave him quick reward for the earlier starts he has each morning before going to work for Stuart.

“I normally get up a bit earlier and train her from the beach and swim her a lot,” Alford said.

“I feed breakfast to her and then go to Andrew’s place and then come back in the afternoon and finish up with her.”

The trainer’s commitments in Christchurch meant Jonny Cox drove Held To Ransom to win on Sunday.

Rather than being frustrated at missing out on the winning drive, Alford was happy Cox was able to be the driver who brought home his first winner.

“It was awesome that Jonny could win with her. He is one of my best mates – he is the reason I am in racing.”

Aussie trainer Steve O’Donoghue has turned the page on San Carlo’s failed New Zealand Cup raid.

He and co-trainer Bec Bartley put the rare, below-par showing down to a steep learning curve for them and their stable star.

And now it’s all about making the most out of the next 12 days before the start of the Auckland Inter Dominion series.

“It’s the first time he’s let us down,” O’Donoghue said.

“Of course you go through everything afterwards to think why … and we’ve put it down to the grass.

“He wasn’t having his usual food and probably ate too much of that great grass they have over there.

“He pulled-up with a higher than usual heart rate and couldn’t stop farting after the race.

“Bec worked him yesterday (Saturday) at Mark and Natalie’s, going the Auckland way, and he seemed back to his old self.”

San Carlo was due to head to Auckland today and will be stabled with Barry and Katrina Purdon.

“I don’t really know Barry, but Dennis Wilson (former NSW trainer) gave me a leg-up and I’ve been texting Barry.

“I met he and Katrina in Christchurch the other day and they were fantastic,” O’Donoghue said.

“Bec is in charge this trip, I’m back home, so being able to stay with a great trainer like Barry and get some tips along the way can only be a huge help.

“Bec is actually staying at their house, which makes everything so much easier.”

The best of San Carlo can certainly be a major factor in Auckland.

You only have to go back to his Victoria Cup run where he did all the work outside the leader in a record-smashing time and was only edged out for third place by Cruz Bromac, who then went on to win the New Zealand Cup and looked a good thing beaten in the NZ freefor-all.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Existential questions can bring up fear, and that’s why many people avoid them. However, because you sense there’s something soulful you need to get to today, you’re willing to make the ask.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Obstacles are opportunities.

Sometimes it takes a while to see exactly how. It won’t be readily apparent. Examine the situation from different angles, looking for its unique offering.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You, like most people, have an urge to say something about the stuff you like. There’s nothing selfish or selfless in this. You don’t feel like your words will make the world better. You need to talk. It’s human.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Consider smiling and being contented to be interchangeable today. If you’re one, you’re the other. If you’re not at least one, you’re neither. Feelings have to be enacted to be felt.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Companies trying to detect your appetites by monitoring your spending habits will miss the mark. Even close friends and loved ones can’t predict you. You’re changing, and that’s what makes this an exciting time.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Remember when you were performing at a peak level, and take note of what was motivating you then. The situation you face now is different, but there are similarities that you can reimagine and apply.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You will be true to your values, both ones you know about and ones you don’t think about. By questioning your actions (good and bad ones alike) you’ll learn something useful about your values.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Go ahead and do things that make you feel better about yourself – without putting yourself through questioning that involves “what you think you deserve.” It’s nonsense. You deserve happiness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Things have gotten out of hand, overly complicated and excessively fancy, detailed or emotional. Find the simplicity and see it through.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Fake, negative and malicious stories can spread quickly among fools and die just as quickly when they fall on the ears of the wise. You’ll shut down gossip by simply refusing to participate in it.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You are only responsible for one person’s reactions to life. If you’re tending to that, then you probably won’t have enough time left over today for the toxic habit of people-pleasing.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’re so optimistic that pessimistic people don’t know what to do with you. Your mood will serve as a kind of filter that affects your field of attraction and influence.

Zac Brookland pulled out a great ride to take the win.

Honor Bradford, having her first start, showed she will be one to watch, with a top performance being rewarded with second place.

Fifth place Zoe Spillane secured
