Cerebral palsy not stopping Thomas

T

homas Currie always had a passion for food, and as a teenager yearned to oneday become a chef.

But he knew that would not be an easy journey, due to having been affected by cerebral palsy since birth.

Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive group of disorders affecting a person’s ability to move, caused by damage to the developing brain either during pregnancy or shortly after birth.

For Thomas, it has affected nerves to his muscles on his right side, compromising his fine motor skills. Because some tasks are more challenging for him than they would be for others, he remembers many adults in his life advising him that the best future path would be an office-based career.

“I basically wanted to prove them wrong,” Currie said.

“I’m glad they said that, because it did give me more drive to go out and do something they thought I couldn’t do.”

From the age of 15 he liked to dabble in the kitchen at home, and extended his interest in home economics classes at his school of Mount Hutt College.

After graduating from school he went off to Ara Institute of Canterbury in Timaru, to study espresso café and bar in 2011, and did a bakery course at the institute the following year. He then returned to his hometown to work in the Methven Bakery at The Mall, prior to taking up a position at Mount Hutt Lodge.

He enjoyed 18 months there in the scenic Rakaia Gorge location, under the tutelage of local well-known chef Butch Stern, before getting his big break in the cheffing world when he landed a position at the internationally renowned Hermitage Hotel at Mt Cook.

At the starting point of a very big learning curve he began as a kitchen hand, and loved being immersed in the “organised chaos” of the commercial kitchen.

“The atmosphere was great, there was so many people in the kitchen.”

Along with 25 fellow staff he was keeping the buffet well stocked, catering for up to 400

Methven’s Thomas Currie wanted to prove everyone wrong when they suggested he would be confined to a sit-down job for the rest of his life. The cerebral palsy sufferer thought he could do so much more than that, and it turns out he was right. Susan Sandys reports.

Thomas Currie is the chef de partie at Methven Resort. people per meal. Soon enough, he became one of the team of chefs at the resort, enjoying the small community feel while being part of a bigger picture, catering for hundreds of tourists at the iconic mountain location.

He was there for three-anda-half years, before deciding to broaden his horizons even further, and went to Canada.

“I wanted to snowboard,” he said.

After growing up enjoying the sport at nearby Mt Hutt, landing himself a job at Lake Louise ski resort was a dream come true.

He was there for about two years,

Complete Local Care Since 1982

and in winter would take the nearby gondola and snowboard to work, at Whitehorn Bistro.

“It was really enjoyable, the biggest thing was the cold, it would get to minus 30 degrees.”

Thankfully the summers were warmer, when the restaurant catered for hikers instead of skiers.

Thomas’s exciting career journey has now led him back to his hometown, where he is one of a team of three chefs at Methven Resort. He is the chef de partie in the resort’s busy restaurant, catering for locals and tourists in the ski town.

Recently Currie was involved

in Methven Resort’s participation in the fund-raising campaign of Steptember, where in New Zealand alone as of yesterday there had been $698,279.55 raised, to support children and adults with cerebral palsy.

There are many different degrees of severity for the disorder, ranging up to full disability and being wheelchair bound. This is the reality for his twin sister Jasmine, and it just makes Thomas feel all the more privileged to be able to participate in such initiatives.

Aged 26 today, he has no regrets and enjoys the demanding

career of being a chef – a profession renowned for its high stress and time pressures.

But he admits it has not always been easy. Due to his lack of fine motor skills in his right hand, he has had to work out unique ways of doing things, relying on muscle memory.

“When I first started cooking, I couldn’t chop vegetables without cutting myself every time. It was difficult, but over time I have learned to do things differently,” he said.

“It definitely is a struggle, but I have learned to cope with a lot more than I thought I could.”

Celebration day at Village Green

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

More than a decade of dreaming, planning and sheer hard work came together on Thursday for John Skevington and Joanne Ruane when they officially launched their Lake Hood subdivision, Village Green.

Invited guests walked the new streets and market ready sections before hearing Skevington talk about the long and often tortuous journey he and Ruane had been on to reach section sale point.

“This has been in the making a long time, Jo and I had a vision. We wanted to create something nice for the district and we’re really proud of Village Green. Today is a real high for us,” he said.

The project had been far from plain sailing, however, and there were many low points, many times when they were tempted to walk away, but seeing the development at a point where section sales could start was absolute confirmation of their belief in the project, Skevington said.

While the first steps in the development were taken in 2006 when a plan change application was discussed, the dream had started several years earlier. The project did not go public, however, until February 2008.

“We were living in Allenton at the time and we’d talked to the

Developers John Skevington and Joanne Ruane take invited guests on a tour of the first stage of Ashburton’s newest subdivision, Village Green.

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 171019-SN-0133 Guardian the day before. I went down to the dairy to pick up the paper, looked at the front page and thought Oh My God. It’s all official.

If we don’t make it happen, we won’t just have egg on our faces, we’ll have the whole fowl house.”

Over the following years there

were many hurdles to overcome but the one that came close to sinking the project was the public notification of the plan change in 2010. The wait to find out if there were objectors to a commissioner’s consent was the longest of their lives. “If it had gone to the

Environment Court we would have been stuffed,” Skevington said.

While the project had been their dream, there were many people, organisations and businesses that had been part of the journey, he said.

Main contractor for the development Ashburton Contracting had put in 6000 man hours and 2000 machinery hours of under grounding, roading and section development work to open stage one.

Mayor elect Neil Brown congratulated Skevington and Ruane for their vision, determination and absolute belief in the project. It had challenged councillors with its low pressure sewage system, but the argument had been convincing, he said.

“But best of all for the council is that you sell sections and we get more rates,” Brown said.

Today the first five sections in Village Green are on the market, a show home is planned for a site and the development of stage two in what will be a 35 home development over 20 hectares, is waiting in the wings.

The subdivision concept is for the 35 houses to be built on clusters of four or five sections across the site to ensure a park-like, semi-rural environment and that views towards the Southern Alps are retained.

Sections range in size from 1500 square metres to over 1900 square metres.

The surrounding farm land will be maintained and grazed to provide property owners with a lifestyle block – without the work.

Battle lines drawn on freshwater reforms as deadline looms

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Farmers are environmentalists too, they work with the environment every day, says Federated Farmers’ national water spokesman Chris Allen.

He was responding yesterday to lobby groups uniting on freshwater goals, as the deadline approaches for submissions on the Government’s Action for Healthy Waterways document.

Nine environment, health, recreation, and water infrastructure groups have released a joint statement outlining four essential policies.

The Public Health Association, Forest and Bird, Fish and Game

New Zealand, Environmental Defence Society, Recreation Aotearoa, Greenpeace, Water New Zealand, Whitewater NZ, and Choose Clean Water agree fresh water is in crisis in New Zealand.

The first policy supports the stronger pollution limits proposed by Government. They especially support the measure of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) with a bottom line of 1mg/L, as well as other measures relating to sediment and wetlands.

“The proposed measures for freshwater health will allow for much better monitoring for ecological health in waterways, providing better information on the presence of fish, and whether

waterways are healthy for swimming,” they said in the statement.

Secondly, they are calling for the Government to take a different approach on setting pollution limits.

“The current proposed policy would allow high polluters to lock-in their current level of pollution, essentially rewarding those with a high pollution starting point.”

Thirdly, they reject the option in the Government’s proposed freshwater policy to make farm plans regulatory instruments.

“Farm plans are a useful tool to support decision-making for farmers and land managers. However, clear and effective rules

must be prioritised as the best way to achieve the Government’s stated goal of measurable improvements within five years.”

Fourthly, government needed to hold hydro-schemes, forestry, agriculture and stormwater management to account, and make sure that future policies are made consistent with the proposed freshwater reforms.

Allen responded that farmers, environmentalists and everyone else wanted to get to the same place.

“It’s the method by how we get there, it’s how we get to where we want to go that becomes the issue of tension,” Allen said.

“We are farmers, we are envi-

ronmentalists too, because we have to work with the environment every day.”

There had to be acknowledgement that some waterways needed to be looked at in different ways, as the proposed DIN bottom line would be too prescriptive in some areas, and meeting it would not be possible without severely curtailing farming production in these areas.

He urged Mid Canterbury farmers to make individual submissions on the proposals by the deadline of October 31, and this was particularly important because this would be the only say farmers would get, as there would not be a hearing process.

Mid Canterbury vineyard CharRees has won a prestigious bronze medal in the New Zealand aromatic wine competition for its 2018 pinot gris.

Over 260 wines were judged over two days with a Spy Valley riesling taking home the supreme champion wine in show.

The CharRees pinot gris also picked up another bronze medal in a competition only for Canterbury wines.

Judges were impressed with the high quality of wines on offer in both competitions, awarding 22 golds, 62 silvers and 104 bronzes.

“The blind judging process ensures quality wins out and the results list truly deserving acclamations,” said head judge Jim Harre.

It has been a few years between drinks for CharRees owners Charlie and Esma Hill, who last won a medal in 2014. Since then, the pair have retired from their milk run business and are now full-time grape growers.

Charlie said the medal-winning pinot gris was showing the results of increased time and effort in the vineyard and he hoped it was the start of more regular success.

The pinot gris grapes were harvested last May and taken to Waipara wine-maker Kirk Bray, who fermented and produced the winning drop.

Charlie said a riesling wine from the 2018 year was also good drinking.

The small vineyard that fronts State Highway 1 at Tinwald has a steady stream of tourists turning off to taste their wine at the cellar door.

They also make pinot noir and a sparkling white, and have plans to expand to other varietals.

Charlie said he and Esma had spent extra time in 2018 cutting off second-set fruit so the vines

PHOTO LINDA CLARKE 181019-LC-0145 put more energy into the fruit that would be picked.

He said the winemaker had commented after the first press of grapes that it should make a nice drop.

The pinot gris vines are 20 years old while the riesling vines are younger and part of the couple’s development of the vineyard over the years.

They say that after a decade in the business, they are constantly looking at ways to tweak and improve the business.

They spend many weekends on the road at food and wine shows and enjoy engaging with customers, who are often surprised to hear the grapes were grown in Mid Canterbury.

“We are more known for our sheep and cows and people are surprised we can grow grapes that make good wine.”

Charlie said to celebrate the bronze medals, CharRees would be holding a special event over the three days of Labour weekend. The vineyard will be open

from 11am to 5pm those days and people can buy wine by the glass, along with food, so they can try the different varieties.

CharRees will also be at the Ashburton A&P Show on November 1 and 2, as well as the Canterbury Show, the Methven fete, the Christchurch food and wine festival and several other festivals this summer.

“We are hoping this year will be a boomer. The vines are looking good at the moment, the best I’ve ever seen them.”

A South Auckland family who scooped $19 million in Wednesday’s Powerball jackpot only bought the winning ticket online minutes before the big draw. “My husband turned to me at 7.22pm and said ‘we didn’t get a Lotto ticket! You better race down to the dairy and pick one up’, but I knew there wouldn’t be enough time – so I logged onto MyLotto instead,” said the winner. “I ended up clicking ‘buy’ with two minutes to spare.” But it wasn’t until the following day after the woman heard two MyLotto players had split the $38m jackpot that she remembered to check her ticket.

Local gunsmith approved to modify banned firearms

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

A local gunsmith will play a big role in the modification of prohibited firearms to bring them in line with new laws.

Earlier this week police encouraged those who may have firearms that have become prohibited by law reforms which they wish to keep, to get them modified by the end of the amnesty period, December 20 this year.

Thirty-two gunsmiths nationwide were listed as being approved to carry out modification work to bring firearms in line with the new laws, including one in the Ashburton District – Staveley Alternative Technologies, which is operated by gunsmith Hamish Bruce.

Bruce has been a gunsmith and theatrical armourer for 20 years, and opted to become an approved gunsmith for two reasons.

“I have a lifelong interest in antique firearms and their restoration and preservation and most of those arms covered by this

option are either cheap everyday farm workhorses or antique cowboy type rifles over 120 years old,” he said.

“Many use ammunition that has been long obsolete and has

to be hand-made by enthusiasts who shoot these vintage items, I wanted to be able to save these historic items from the senseless destruction.”

Bruce said the second reason

for becoming an approved gunsmith was for an economical reason.

The law changes which prohibited some self-loading firearms effectively stopped his gunsmithing business as by nature those firearms require more maintenance.

“With them gone so was 60 per cent of my work,” he said.

“Also as I work in the movie world, the law change made most of the movie guns we use prohibited, this has caused a climate where no one is getting work done and police took six months to even get around to sorting any P endorsements to continue work.

“Firearms users are so scared to even go out to shoot now that most usual gunsmithing work has reduced to a trickle, maybe one job a month.”

Bruce only had his approval accepted two weeks ago, but has already had around 30 enquiries from people looking to have modifications done on a mixture of sentimental/old rifles and

farm workhorses, which he will begin later this month.

“The process is rather long winded with the police insisting on checking that firearms licence holders have their guns checked to prove that they are not stolen first before I’m allowed to work on them and then police insisting on inspecting every job done,” he said.

“I also am of the opinion that if police haven’t given enough time to allow the modification process to occur, they took six months to approve us as gunsmiths and that left us with just three months to do all the work.

“Many firearms owners have been waiting for clarity in the buyback process before approaching the process and I think they may have to consider extending the amnesty as just cutting off the amnesty isn’t going to make these things disappear.”

Further information on what firearms are eligible for modifications and how to contact Bruce can be found on www.police. govt.nz.

Learning the skills to restart a heart A large group of Methven locals left the Methven Park with newly found CPR skills and confidence earlier this week.

A training afternoon was held next to the Methven Medical Centre, organised by the Local St John volunteers as part of World Restart a Heart Day. The numbers around heart attacks are damning and there’s a lot of work going into educating people, St John volunteer Sara Davis said.

“Over 10,000 people in New Zealand have a heart attack each year and only one in ten survive,” she said.

Five fully decked out St John officers, along with Dame Lynda Topp posing as her popular character Ken, created a fun, entertaining environment for people to test their skills.

Methven Volunteer Fire Brigade members stepped up to a three minute CPR challenge set down by the St John team.

The winners, as voted by the crowd, were St John, however challenge commentator Topp asked the audience to give both sides a round of applause.

“Because these guys save lots of lives,” she said.

Well known songs with strong regular beat are a handy way to remember a CPR rhythm.

Baby Shark was a hit with the younger set and Staying Alive was chosen as an example for the older crowd members.

Whilst the afternoon was full of fun, a BBQ, spot prizes and music, there was also a serious message to get across.

For every minute that passes when someone has a cardiac arrest, chances of survival fall by 10 to 15 per cent.

“Doing something is better than doing nothing,” Methven St John chairman David Molly also pointed out.

Dr Sophie Febrey popped out briefly to check out the action.

The Methven doctor said the knowledge of how to help someone who was found in a situation where they were having a heart attack was vital, especially in a town like Methven.

“In a rural community like ours every minute counts,” she said.

“I live 12 minutes out of Methven, plus I would have to go to the medical centre to get my bag.

This all adds up to valuable time lost. If someone I knew had a heart attack I would like to think someone near them had the confidence to carry out CPR.” “In those valuable first minutes the public performing CPR would be no different to anything a doctor would do.”

Call Push Shock Call 111 Push (CPR) Shock. If an AED is available, the AED app on your phone will show you the nearest location of a defibrillator in the area.

Guardian Holds An Enduring Place In Jill Watson’s Life

he Ashburton Guardian has been part of Jill Watson’s life for more than 40 years.

Jill first encountered the Guardian when, as a junior at Canterbury Public Library, she had to display all the local newspapers in the reading room daily. When she moved to Ashburton three years later the newspaper became her regular fix.

“There was a sense of an�cipa�on, always something interes�ng in local news and views,” Jill recalls. “It’s very sa�sfying being able to keep up with local events and take a full part in the concerns of the day.

“The council o�en features in the news and this makes it even more relevant to me.”

In the early 1980s Jill began a newspaper index of the Guardian. The library engaged six PEP workers to index over 100 years of the Ashburton Guardian for local names, places and events which has been con�nued to this day.

“It has been invaluable to family members and local history researchers,” she says.

The stories that s�ck in Jill’s mind are the drama�c moments in the life of the Mid Canterbury community. She refers to the big snows, the windstorm of 1975, earthquakes and tragic events like local murders. On a lighter side she loved the series wri�en about local historic houses. She found them valuable when their new owners came in to look for the background to their homes.

Jill emphasises the wri�en word enables more background to be covered than “soundbites” available online or in recorded media. Newspaper reports are more reliable and though�ul and invite informed comment and response through le�ers to the editor.

She reflects on the role of Ashburton Library as an important current resource for keeping the public informed and the primary source of historic informa�on about the district. These are “pre�y important roles”, she says.

“I’d like to see the Guardian con�nue its focus on local affairs. I think it’s vital to local heritage and culture to have an enduring record of trusted news and views in a local context,” Jill comments.

As a keen local observer, Jill sees the most significant change as being the inclusion of many photographs of Mid Canterbury people and ac�vi�es since 1975, first in black and white, then colour. “This provides a wonderful record of everyday life in each succeeding era. Also no�ceable is that there is less interna�onal news and more indepth local coverage,” she says.

Jill accentuates the role the Ashburton Guardian plays in the life of the district, reliably and impar�ally informing residents of local events, trends and controversies. It promotes a sense of community, o�en highligh�ng health and social issues that Ashburton people are struggling with.

“That’s important because others may not be aware of them,” she points out.

“The Guardian celebrates our achievements and shares in our sense of loss when tragedies occur. I believe the Ashburton District is a far be�er place for having the Guardian and I hope it con�nues on for the next 100 years.”

What a Newspaper, What a Glue!

T

he state of the house was appalling and unfit to live in.

Ashburton’s mayor moved quickly and had the occupant removed to hospital and her children taken into care. The police were instructed to cordon off the building, fumigate the house and burn the bedding and furniture.

The Borough Inspector of Nuisances spoke candidly to councillors and they supported the move.

It could have been 2019, but it wasn’t. It was October, 1900, the year Robert Bell purchased a partnership interest in the Ashburton Guardian.

Council news was a core part of the newspaper’s coverage of Mid Canterbury, then and now. Local authority elec�ons, such as last weekend, received huge publicity.

Nothing has changed. If you wanted to know who won, who lost, who received the most votes and what they promised Mid Canterbury, then the local newspaper was where you looked.

In 1900 plans were under way to extend the municipal building in Baring Square West. It would add a new council chamber and town clerk’s office to a building already housing the public library. Is history repea�ng itself?

In addi�on to the borough council, the Guardian covered race mee�ngs, sports days, musical performances, schools and school ou�ngs and hospital and roads board mee�ngs. Farming topics were popular, and work and transport accidents were frequent and o�en fatal.

The notables graced the pages and appearances in court of Ashburton’s less respectable were fully and faithfully reported.

Kate Sheppard’s influence extended from Christchurch to Ashburton. The Women’s Chris�an Temperance Union (WCTU) was alive and kicking. Prohibi�on was a hot topic. The women claimed a lavish new hotel was being built at Fairton. In fact it was a boarding house for single men employed at the freezing works.

The Guardian was the centre of Ashburton’s daily life in 1900 and today it remains the glue that holds the community together. What a paper and what a glue!

However, it’s good to know in 2019, nearly 120 years a�er the October council mee�ng, there are no nuisances in Ashburton and the office of the borough inspector has quietly closed.

Bruce Bell reflects on the 1900 South African War Memorial, the same year his family bought into the Ashburton Guardian.

Burnham shocker – girl, 3, killed in raid NZME The head of the Defence Force has accepted that a 3-year-old girl appears to have been killed during a New Zealand-led raid in Afghanistan.

The bombshell admission is believed to be the first time New Zealand’s military officials have acknowledged the likelihood of the girl’s death.

Top military brass are this week

facing questions about a “cover-up” and why the Defence Force until 2014 said allegations of civilian deaths during Operation Burnham were false, despite a report by coalition forces in 2010 concluding they were possible.

The Government inquest was spurred by the 2017 book Hit & Run, in which journalists Nicky Hager and Jon Stephenson alleged six civilians – including a young girl name Fatima - were killed and

Bridges bows to Speaker’s ruling, pulls videos NZME

National Party leader Simon Bridges has changed his tune and decided to comply with the Speaker’s ruling by taking down all National’s attack videos that feature Parliament TV footage.

This will mean that Speaker Trevor Mallard’s restrictions on the number of questions Bridges can ask during Question Time will be lifted.

Bridges’ compliance appears to be in contrast with his statements on Tuesday, when he said it was doubtful the videos would be removed from social media.

“The feedback has been overwhelming.

People want to see, from us, important issues,” Bridges said on Tuesday.

Singing a different tune yesterday, Bridges said that removing the videos will mean the current review of Standing Orders – including the rules around the use of Parliament TV footage – will progress more quickly.

“We have agreed to that action and are encouraged by the timeline for resolution of these matters, which should be concluded by early November,” Bridges said.

“National will remove the videos by 5pm today.”

Bridges faced further restrictions if he had continued to defy Mallard’s ruling, with 5pm yesterday being the first deadline.

Mallard welcomed Bridges’ announcement.

He had told the House that he had wanted a rapid resolution of the issue three weeks ago, when the complaint was first laid, and that defiance of his ruling was an impediment to that.

“I am pleased Mr Bridges has agreed with me,” Mallard said.

The issue came to a head following a Labour complaint to Mallard three weeks ago over a National Party video that showed Labour MP Deborah Russell’s speech in the House about wellbeing that included remarks about Greek philosophy.

Text accompanying the video read: “Still not sure what Labour’s Wellbeing Budget means?”

Mallard ruled that the video violated Standing Orders about the use of Parliament’s official television coverage of the House.

Standing Orders require the permission of all MPs shown for footage used for political advertising.

Reports that use extracts of official coverage must also be “fair and accurate”.

Mallard ordered all political parties to take down any videos made this year featuring MPs in the House who had not given their consent – which only really affects National.

15 others wounded during the NZSAS-led raid against insurgents in August 2010.

In the closing minutes of the inquiry’s final public hearing yesterday, the current Chief of Defence Air Marshal Kevin Short, was asked whether he accepted it appeared Fatima had been killed in the operation.

“Appears to, yes.” Short replied.

While the NZDF has since 2014 accepted civilian deaths may have

been possible, Short’s comment is believed to be the first public acknowledgement of the particular claim.

Until as recently as a few months ago, the Herald understands there were senior personnel in the NZDF that were still denying Fatima’s death occurred.

Moments earlier, Short told the inquiry that not all civilian deaths were war crimes, evoking a gasp from the public gallery, and

that the NZDF had only targeted armed fighters.

“I am saying that because if you are a member of an organised armed group and you behave as such then you actually forfeit the protections you have as a civilian,” he said.

“I say that because this was an armed group … There is enough information to say they were armed. They were organised and we had to destroy their weapons.”

‘Depraved’ killing worst cop has seen NZME The Wellington man who fatally bludgeoned a woman to death so he could sexually assault her daughter is “evil”, the woman’s husband says.

Joseph William Borton was yesterday given an indefinite prison sentence for the brutal attack, which dragged out for 18 hours and left the 12-year-old daughter needing skull reconstruction surgery.

The 31-year-old had earlier pleaded guilty to the attack, which happened in the affluent suburb of Karori on April 4.

He admitted attacking the girl and her 52-year-old mother with a steel mallet and sexually violating the child as her mother lay dying nearby.

Outside the High Court at Wellington yesterday, Detective Constable Hayley Adams read a statement from the woman’s husband.

In the statement, the husband said the death of his wife was “numbingly awful”.

He described the victim as a “very special person” who was “outstanding” at her job, and a charismatic and compassionate member of her community.

“Her death was a great loss to society,” he said.

His daughter is “miraculously” expected to recover well.

Support from police and medical professionals as well as the wider community helped them manage their grief.

He said one stranger who had shown up to his house to pick up an item gave him a hug when she heard what had happened.

“A small act of compassion means a lot, and we have had so many kind acts.”

“We live in a wonderful society and the crimes that were committed on my wife and daughter were the exception.

“The perpetrator is evil. It’s not how we

see our society.”

Detective Senior Sergeant Warwick McKee said in his 30 years of policing and leading homicide investigations, this was the worst case he had dealt with.

“The offending committed here can only be described as abhorrent, cruel and utterly disgraceful behaviour.”

He said Borton had been sentenced appropriately.

Justice Simon France gave Borton a life sentence with a minimum non-parole period of 19 years for the murder, but also imposed preventive detention for the sexual offending.

Preventive detention is an indeterminate sentence which allows Corrections to have control over the offender and, if released on parole, recall them to prison at any time.

Borton pleaded guilty in August to all charges, including murder, sexual violation, indecent assault, wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and several theft charges.

The offending was labelled by Crown prosecutor Grant Burston as being at a high level of “cruelty, brutality, depravity and callousness”.

An autopsy revealed the woman suffered at least eight separate head injuries. They were so significant that fragments of her skull were pressed into her brain.

The 12-year-old needed surgery to reconstruct her skull and now has a plate in her head and has damaged sight and hearing.

Borton told police he intended to “incapacitate” the mother so he could sexually offend against the daughter.

The victims have name suppression to protect the child’s identity.

Psychologist reports provided to the court offer “no ready explanation” for the attack, Justice France said. Borton has no previous convictions.

Some districts trialling new Armed Response Teams Police have announced a trial of Armed Response Teams in three districts across the country to complement their initial response to critical or high risk incidents by being on duty at peak demand times, seven days a week.

Police Commissioner Mike Bush this week announced a trial of Armed Response Teams (ARTs).

The trials will be run in Canterbury, Waikato and Counties Manukau over a six-month period.

A Police spokesperson said the ARTs will primarily operate in the greater Christchurch area but there will be the ability to respond across the wider district as needed.

The districts were chosen to host the trials as they have the highest number of firearms seized, located and surrendered, and have the largest Armed Offenders Squad groups to support the trial.

“ARTs will complement our initial response to critical or high risk incidents by being on duty at peak demand times, seven days a week,” he said.

“ARTs are specialist police personnel who are part of our Armed Offenders Squad (AOS).

“Our AOS is normally on call 24/7, but for the trial they will be routinely armed, equipped,

The new Armed Response Teams operate out of these vehicles in Canterbury, Counties Manukau and the Waikato.

“The Police’s mission is that New Zealand is the safest country. Following the events of March

15 in Christchurch, our operating environment has changed.”

Bush said the national threat level remains at medium, and that they are continuously reviewing their tools, training, and capabilities that are used to provide policing services to ensure they remain fit for purpose.

ARTs will have access to a range of tactical options and on average they will consist of a minimum of three specialist AOS personnel.

At times they may be supported by additional staff such as specialist dog units.

“Police must ensure our people are equipped and enabled to

perform their roles safely and to ensure our communities are, and feel, safe. This means having the right people with the right tools, skills and knowledge ready to respond at all times,” he said.

“The introduction of ARTs improves our ability to respond to rapidly evolving events and incidents with highly-trained specialist skills and expertise, minimising risks to our people and the public.

“During the trial, ARTs will be focused on responding to events where a significant risk is posed to the public or staff.

“They will also support the execution of pre-planned and highrisk search warrants, high-profile public events and prevention activities.”

The trial will be evaluated to see what impact, ARTs have on staff and public safety.

The evaluation will be undertaken by the Evidence Based Policing Centre (EBPC).

The EBPC uses practitioner-based research, information, crime-science, theory, and problem-solving methods to inform practice, implement measures to prevent crime and improve the allocation of Police resources to better protect our staff and the public.

METHVEN

L

ongevity of any event in rural New Zealand has to been seen as a positive for the community it is held in.

Fifty years of rodeo in Methven is an example of what a rural event can do for its community and the national sport.

The Methven Rodeo has been beneficial to all that enter the events, host the town’s visitors and the many organisations that have benefited from the donations received from the profits raised at the event held Labour weekend every year.

Without the cowboys and cowgirls the event could not run, the cowboys would not have an event if it were not for the tireless committed committee, the generosity of sponsors and local bucking horse graziers, also the suppliers of the livestock to be used in the many events on offer again this year.

Rodeo in the Mid Canterbury town was started as an offshoot from the A&P show as a way of raising money and to give the locals another event to be entertained at as the interest grew in the events rodeo had to offer.

The rite of passage to the chairman’s role of the A&P show was via the chair of the rodeo for many years.

Local cowboys that felt rodeo was a good fit for their community after having competed nationally and some internationally knew a good event would be well supported and undertook the mammoth task of building an arena.

The foresight those early members had has proved to be successful with over 6000 people attending the event in the past years.

The Methven Rodeo is now seen as the largest in the country, both in crowd size and numbers of competitors in the arena.

Every year the Methven Rodeo shares this success with the likes of the Lions club, schools, sporting organisations and many community projects, such as Methven House – the proposed aged-care facility benefiting financially.

The Methven Rodeo, this year having reached that milestone of 50, is recognising the hard work of many celebrating the success and strength that the club finds itself in.

Life members will be honoured, event winners will receive trophy jackets or trophy buckles on top of the large prizemoney pool on offer.

The club will supply the best bucking and time event stock on offer in the South Island, and this year will feature a big screen to feature replays and recaps of the rides.

The usual food and beverage outlets are all available, as well as the many stall owners, some who have been a part of the rodeo for many years.

The hot dog and chip stand owners, who are like a family, have been attending the rodeo for over 40 years. I guess rodeo gets in your blood no matter what side of the arena fence you’re on.

The local club was awarded a national title for one of its bucking horses last year and will feature her in this year’s open bareback ride.

Black Betty is her name and bucking has been her game, winning the best bareback bucking horse of the year.

There will be a large number of local competitors entering the events on offer and a past announcer, Neville Clarke, will return to also be a part of the action.

To top off the day an evening function is to be held where old cowboys and committee members can enjoy memories and those that feel the urge can dance the night away to a band and make more memories about a town called Methven and its amazing event that will again be the place to be for many a year to come.

OUR VIEW

Competition keeps media honest O

ne, two, three; that used to be the countdown to choosing which television channel to watch, but it may not be for much longer.

MediaWorks owned TV3 is no longer on shaky ground, it’s on borrowed time and that time is about to run out with suggestions it could be sold or closed by the end of the year.

Its owner is blaming government owned TVNZ for the axe that’s hanging over its head, saying independent commercial media can’t foot it in the uneven commercial media playing field where the opposition has the benefit of being government owned.

And there’s a lot of truth in that, but also in play is the changed and constantly changing environment that all media operate in today.

Gone are the days when loyal readers, watchers, listeners waited until a scheduled time to collect their paper, to turn on the telly to watch the news.

Gone are the days when

advertisers carefully planned their spend, allocating money to newspapers if they were provincial, to the telly if they were the big national guns.

Radio has always stood to the side in that it has been the ‘instant’ media in the traditional trio and it is continuing, in most cases, to hold its head above water.

Newspapers however, like television, are facing their own challenges.

The media as we knew it is under threat on many fronts. The three cornerstones – print, radio and television – are still there but they’ve been joined by the world of instant online news.

At the click of a mouse or a but-

ton the latest news, advertising and infomercial is in your hand.

Why wouldn’t you use it?

It’s great for consumers, but what does it do to the multiple media organisations battling to make an advertising dollar?

They need those dollars to keep staff employed and to keep up the hallmarks of New Zealand’s media industry – honest, unbiased reporting. Telling a story without any fear of commercial – or state – intervention.

The world of instant news is here to stay and you can’t blame advertisers for lapping it up, or consumers for logging on.

We live in a world of citizen journalists, where the “I saw it

on Facebook, so it must be true” mentality is alive and well.

But how do you know what the real facts are?

That’s where grassroots media comes in, media staffed by people working for organisations that are locally-owned and locally-run.

That’s called grassroots accountability.

There’s a lot to mourn if we lose TV. No longer will we have on the ground television media competition. The news we’re delivered will be what the state owned company delivers. State-owned, it has an uncomfortable ring to it.

Competition and privately-owned media keeps things honest.

When you’re not out H

ow many times does it take an Australian teacher to be caught drunk, before they are fired?

Well, it’s got be more than three times according to the authorities in Queensland.

So our sun-drenched, thong loving cousins on the West Island have a taste for a cold one on a hot day, and to be fair, you couldn’t blame them seeing as they have more hot days than we have opinion polls on who is our preferred prime minister.

But a Queensland teacher has taken the phrase of ‘being in high spirits’ one step further, and only now has this passion for the nectar of the Gods been revealed.

In 2016 an unnamed teacher swigged valium and vodka (sounds like an Amy Winehouse song) after a break-up, and then passed out in her Year 2 class.

She was taken by ambulance to hospital, such was the state of her.

Did this get her fired? No way my little Kiwi battler, not here, not in the land of drive through bottle stores!

Then, to show the first time was not a fluke, she repeated this one month later.

Peter Livingstone OUT OF SCHOOL

This time her principal found her asleep in her chair in front of her class.

Very wisely (let’s face it, principals are wise) he woke her up and suggested she go home, but not to drive. See, a very wise man, he didn’t even raise the idea of firing her, it’s every Aussie’s unearned right to drink on the job.

So of course our emboldened, loose as a goose, sozzled educator ignored this wise advice and drove home. Much to her surprise she was pulled over and arrested for drunk-driving.

Now surely this was the end of her career?

Nope, not in the land of crocs the size of Godzilla and spiders so poisonous, they only have to think about you and you kark it.

You see, life in ’Straya is tough.

There are more men in budg-

ie smugglers than lies told by Trump.

Women need to drink to blot out the image of a pale, stale, male wrapped in nothing more than a lime coloured loincloth.

And so, in 2018, our Gold Coast pedagogical practitioner tried it once more, this time making sure she went public and collapsed outside the school library.

Her blood alcohol levels put her in the category of ‘drunken stupor’, similar to the state of the average Aussie trying to work out who their prime minister is.

Now surely she was for the chopping block. Three strikes and you’re out.

Nope, not even close. This time, in a show of authoritative decision making, the Queensland’s Civil and Administrative Tribunal, (that’s a very impressive title) slapped a ban on her from teaching.

Now, once that ban is over, she can resume teaching as long as she takes monthly blood tests.

You see, teaching in Oz Trail Leigha is so demanding that no one wants the job.

Over there, if you can’t tell the difference between a kangaroo and a wallaby, they make you eat

a witchetty grub.

If you are unwilling to teach your fledgling bowlers how to use sandpaper or an underarm action, they will put you in a pool with a blue-ringed octopus.

If you ask why they have a beer called XXXX, they will remove your air conditioner and donate it to starving children in Ethiopia.

So, unlike here, when an Australian teacher misbehaves they let them keep their jobs, because teachers are rarer than rain on the Nullabor.

So why should I be so concerned about the actions of an Australian teacher?

Because right now I’m reading through some CVs and there is one from a Queensland teacher with a wine stain on the second page.

Worth a crack?

She says she enjoys social drinking!

MediaWorks gives up on television

By Paul McBeth

“Our focus now is to accelerate the opportunities that exist for those platforms,” Matthews said.

Broadcasters around the world are facing a landgrab for content with online streaming services such as Netflix bidding up the cost of content.

Entertainment giant Disney will launch a streaming service in the coming weeks and Apple TV Plus is also on the way.

That’s made it hard for free-toair broadcasters at a time when linear TV advertising is shrinking, and MediaWorks chief executive Michael Anderson has previously signalled that the firm would quit TV if the government didn’t change its policy settings.

He has been an ardent critic of rival Television New Zealand’s commercial mandate, which sees it compete for advertising dollars.

“The role Three plays in New Zealand society is significant, from Newshub through to investment in local comedy and drama.

“We believe MediaWorks TV is now in a place where it can be separated from the radio and outdoor business to be operated under a new owner in a more sustainable fashion – and, ultimately, for profit,” he said yesterday.

Enough Kathmandu shareholders backed the $368 million acquisition of surf brand Rip Curl to approve the deal just on the number of proxy votes held by the board.

The special meeting in Sydney was to ratify the deal, which will turn Kathmandu into a billion-dollar-revenue business and add at least 10 percent to per-share earnings. The resolution attracted 163.1 million votes – 60 per cent – in favour on proxies alone.

It was almost unanimously supported with 99.96 per cent support at the meeting.

The outdoor goods retailer is raising $145 million in a one-for-four accelerated entitlement offer to help pay for the surf brand. The institutional component of the offer cleared the shares at $3.06 per share, a 51 cent premium to the $2.55 offer price which retail shareholders will pay.

“Reflecting our commitment to the company and to this acquisition, I am also pleased to confirm that all

Kathmandu directors who are current shareholders of Kathmandu intend to participate in the accelerated entitlement offer to partly fund the acquisition,” chair David Kirk said in speech notes lodged with the stock exchange before the meeting.

The shares fell 1.6 per cent to $3.13 in relatively light trading of 37,000 shares.

A separate resolution to amend the company’s constitution and bring it in line with NZX listing rules was also passed with 99.99 per cent support.

Eroad reports strong sales growth

By Rebecca Howard NZME

Eroad reported strong third-quarter sales growth but didn’t pick up as many small to medium business customers as expected. It is also looking at a possible secondary listing on the ASX. The Auckland-based firm installs electronic distance recorders and tracking devices in road transport fleets across Australia, the US and New Zealand.

Total contracted units rose 28 per cent to 109,380 in the three months to September 30, it said.

Of that, the number of vehicle logging units in New Zealand lifted 15 per cent to 75,674 and were up 62 per cent in North America at 32,193. In Australia, they lifted 39 per cent to 1513.

In the nine-month period, total contracted units were up 27 per cent versus the same period a year earlier with the North American market lifting 54 percent.

Eroad said there were strong deployments in the US for its largest

enterprise customer. The signing of another large enterprise customer in June saw it install about 1650 contracted units for that customer within eight weeks.

However, the company noted the run rate for small and medium business customers was below expectations.

It also said it has not seen the increase in its sales pipeline expected ahead of the December 16 deadline

the US government set to replace legacy devices with electronic logging devices, or ELDs. Eroad said it continues to build a brand presence in Australia, although sales to small and medium businesses were also below its expectations.

“However, the pipeline of enterprise customers – with longer sales lead times – remains encouraging and above original expectations,” it said.

It said that following the relaunch of its Australian business and growing interest from Australian and other international investors, the board was considering an ASX foreign exempt listing.

That would provide more alignment between the company’s business operations and its investor base.

A decision is expected in early 2020 and it remains “committed to maintaining an NZX listing,” it said.

The stock rose 2.3 per cent to $3.10.

MediaWorks Investments has given up on television, putting the free-to-air broadcaster and its Auckland head office and studios on the block.

The media group has relied on the profitability of its radio business to offset ailing fortunes from the TV arm, and finally waved the white flag and hired an advisor to try to sell the firm. It will work to find a list of potential buyers and start initial discussions, followed by a due diligence process.

“We are in a commercial environment and have to face commercial realities. The market that free-to-air television operates in is tough and has been exacerbated this year,” chair Jack Matthews said in a statement.

“This is reflected in the performance of all free-to-air television operators in New Zealand, not just us. Clearly the market – alongside the structural hindrances we operate under – has a larger impact on Three, given its genuine commercial imperative.”

GROWING THE GAME

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

When it comes to growing the game of women’s rugby sevens in Mid Canterbury, it’s a case of taking it one step at a time.

But Mid Canterbury Rugby’s women’s and schools’ development officer Nicole Purdom said the steps are all leading in the right direction, with a Mid Canterbury women’s team entering the South Island tournament for the first time ever next month still a very real possibility.

Mid Canterbury sent a women’s team to the first round of Canter-

bury Rugby’s summer sevens series earlier this month and while they didn’t win a game, they improved with every game, Purdom said.

Injuries meant the team – which is being coached by Nick McKain – didn’t make it to the second leg of the series, but they hope to be at the third leg on November 2, and all going well they will then turn their attention to the South Island tournament being held in Timaru on November 30.

While they’re at the third leg of the summer series in

Brie Rudolph was among those testing her skills during a sevens training session on Wednesday night.

PHOTO ERIN TASKER Christchurch, the future of the women’s game in Mid Canterbury will also be on show in Timaru.

For the second year running, Mid Canterbury is sending an under-15 girls’ team to the South Island tournament in Timaru, and Purdom said numbers for that team are looking good.

The senior women train on a Wednesday night and this week they put out the call to any under-15 and under-18 players to come and join them.

They only gave three or four days’ notice, but the young players turned out in good numbers.

“They definitely have a team already, they have got a solid amount of players,” Purdom said.

They’re a mix of past players and those new to the sport, and Purdom said they’re already showing promise.

“They have got great talent, they were definitely giving us old ones a run for our money,” Purdom said.

So Mid Canterbury will definitely have a girls’ team at the South Island under-15 tournament on November 2, although they haven’t got enough numbers to make up an under-18 team.

But whether they’ll be followed by a Mid Canterbury senior team a few weeks later, remains to be seen.

“It’s still an option, we’ll just have to see how it goes,” Purdom said.

■■RUGBY

We might win; we might lose All Blacks coach Steve Hansen was typically philosophical on the eve of their Rugby World Cup quarter-final.

How had they picked their side?

Make the obvious selections and the rest comes down to team balance and the opposition.

While much of the focus was always on the starting 15, Hansen said it’s the reserves that stand out when he looks at his team sheet.

“Those extra fresh legs could be the difference maker.

“We’re very fortunate that our bench is strong, has been for a long time and when you look at the experience that’s on that bench, it does give you a bit of confidence.”

The selections of real interest have come in midfield and at hooker.

Jack Goodhue has beaten out Ryan Crotty to partner Anton Leinert Brown in midfield, with Sonny Bill Williams on the bench.

Codie Taylor also got the nod ahead of Dane Coles in the number two jersey.

Hansen said either could’ve started, but Taylor had taken his chance with Coles injured for a large chunk of last season.

The same went for lock Brodie Retallick, who Hansen had no doubt could deliver despite having just 30 minutes of game time since returning from injury.

Hansen was also confident in his inexperienced backs, with four Crusaders holding less than 15 test caps expected to cop a high ball barrage.

One of those players, wing George Bridge, said the numbers don’t tell the full story.

“You look at the caps and it says inexperienced but we probably don’t feel very inexperienced and we’re really comfortable with how we want to play as individuals and as a backline.

“That’s probably where some of the experience that we’re thinking of comes from.

“It’s that we’ve been in some pretty high pressure games.”

None, however, anywhere near as big as this.

After two recent losses to Ireland, including last time the teams met in Dublin almost a year ago, the All Blacks knew full well the magnitude of the challenge.

The All Blacks in a place they would rather not be again - experiencing a loss to Ireland.

But captain Kieran Read said it’s important they put things in context.

“We certainly respect what the Irish team has done over those couple of games but it’s a totally different ball game.

“It’s a [quarter] final of a World Cup, two teams ranked very highly and it’s about turning up on the day.

“Do we take lessons from those games?

“Yes, definitely.

“But [we also] know what this game brings, it’s going to be slightly different to those.”

Neverthless, that hasn’t dinted Ireland’s belief.

Captain, hooker Rory Best, says a squad full of strong players is what gives them that optimistic feeling.

“Everyone pushes hard to be in the squad.

“You no longer kind of know what the 15 is going to be and the rest are just sort of there to make up the numbers.

“Every one of those 33 players believe that they’re good enough to start and whenever you get competitive players that are not used to winning things, it’s a good mix.”

A mix that’s proven it has the capability to get the measure of the All Blacks Ireland coach Joe Schmidt said there’s only downside to those two wins.

“We’re certainly not going to sneak up on them anymore, we’re not going to surprise them.

“They’re well aware of how we play the game, what they’re go-

ing to do to combat that and what they’re going to put into their own armoury to make sure that we’re we’re chasing them about the padock.”

Schmidt knew if that happened, the All Blacks lethal counterattacks could be the end of his side’s hopes.

For Hansen, ensuring that happened was about changing one key aspect from recent history.

“They’re not a team that gives you a lot of opportunities through mistakes.

“They’re pretty good at keeping the ball when they keep it and when they kick it they kick it to put pressure on you rather than to give you a free shot.

“You’ve just got to adapt and adjust to what’s happening in the game and we’ve made a lot of

changes since we last played them so it’ll be interesting to see if those changes work or not.”

If they do, the All Blacks could well find themselves in the semi-finals.

And although they knew nothing was guaranteed, Sonny Bill Williams said they also knew exactly what they were capable of.

“They were number one in the world just before the tournament started so we’re under no illusions about the threat that they pose.

“But for us it’s about bringing that All Blacks A game.

“That’s what we’re about.

“If we get our mental prep right, come with that attitude and that intent, then we’re going to be hard to stop.”

Confident talk, ahead of a crunch quarter-final.

Fear of the All Blacks’ aura is always there, says Schmidt NZME Joe Schmidt has admitted that as much as his Ireland team will draw confidence from recent victories over the All Blacks they still “fear” the world champions.

Ireland’s head coach added that even if they played their best in tonight’s World Cup quarter-final clash in Tokyo they might still lose.

As rallying cries go, it felt a little subdued two days out from arguably the biggest match in Ireland’s history. But Schmidt’s respectful rhetoric was obviously strategic.

The Kiwi, who named a triedand-trusted team for the game at Ajinomoto Stadium, clearly decided it was wiser not to poke the bear ahead of such a big game.

“I think most coaches would say transition,” Schmidt replied when asked what it was about the All Blacks that made them so dangerous.

“If you turn ball over to them they’re ferociously dangerous.

“Their speed to transition from defence to attack is something that everybody fears about the All Blacks. They are so quick to make

the most of it. They have athletes who have skills, who have speed and they have an innate attacking mentality. They are almost wired for it.”

Schmidt added: “The unfortunate thing about any 23 that comes up against the All Blacks is that they can play very well and still not get the result. That’s the quality that the All Blacks have, that’s the athletes that they possess.”

Schmidt has named his most experienced possible line-up for the match, resisting the urge

to spring any Henry Slade-style last-minute surprises.

The forwards are as expected with Peter O’Mahony retaining the No. 6 despite, by his standards, some pretty indifferent form.

Bundee Aki’s suspension means Schmidt has had to make a backline change, although Robbie Henshaw and Garry Ringrose might well have been his firstchoice pairing anyway.

Schmidt conceded that his selection would not pose many surprises for New Zealand. But he said that the players’ familiar-

ity with one another would stand them in good stead.

“We’re certainly not going to sneak up on them any more,” Schmidt said. “I think they are well aware of how we play and what they are going to do to combat that. But [this group] have had some pretty successful experiences together. You can’t go out against an All Blacks side and accept that you’re second fiddle. You’ve got to go out and put your best foot forward and we hope that this 23 will be committed to doing that.”

■■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Top team named for last game

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

When a combination Mid Canterbury rugby league team takes to the field for the final time this season today, a few players might have an added spring in their step.

That’s because when Aoraki Rugby League named its tournament team from the 2019 season during the week, more than half the team was made up from players from the two Mid Canterbury teams in the competition.

The Aoraki Rugby League competition is between four teams – the Ashburton Barbarians and the Chertsey Oilers, along with the Timaru Outlaws and Country Cowboys – and it wrapped up last weekend with the Cowboys taking out a resounding win over the Oilers, who were making their first appearance on finals day.

This season was just the Oilers’ third and it was a big one which started off with their first ever win, and ended with a bunch of their players being named in the Aoraki tournament team, and one of them being named club player of the year.

Seamus Smyth – who played for the Barbarians in the Canterbury Rugby League division one competition, and the Oilers in the Aoraki competition – was named Aoraki’s club player of the year, and named as the wearer of the number nine jersey in the tournament team.

He was joined in that tournament team by fellow Oilers Leli Masiwini, George Hufunga, Leps

Seitava and Randy Browne, while the Barbarians had two players in the team – Kipione Manumua and Matt Stone.

Some of those are names that are likely to feature again today, when a combined Barbarians and Oilers team takes to the field for

the first time ever, for one final game to round out the 2019 season. The combined Oilers and Barbarians side will take on the

Canterbury Maori team at Robilliard Park, on Chalmers Avenue in Ashburton, today, with the game set to kick off at 2.30pm.

■■OPINION

Goodhue reflects the history of great All Blacks centres

By Phil Gifford

E

very All Blacks World Cup-winning team has had a rock at centre.

Jack Goodhue continues a line that has a tradition of clear thinking and accurate execution, started by Joe Stanley in 1987, and carried on in 2011 and 2015

by Conrad Smith.

The three men have very different backstories, in both life and sport.

Stanley was a city kid, born in Auckland to immigrant parents from Samoa.

The first national selector to pay any attention to him was Kiwis coach Ron Ackland.

In 1978, when Stanley was playing league in Northland, Ackland called him into a training camp in Hunua. A brutal road run and a wicked set of blisters led to a mutual lack of interest in Stanley progressing further in league.

Smith was born and raised in Taranaki with an All Black uncle, 1960s lock Alan.

Playing halfback at Francis Douglas Memorial College in New Plymouth, Smith was a champion runner, but not a good enough halfback to ever make a Taranaki

age group or school side.

Wellington was the first representative team Smith ever played for, making the senior provincial team when he was a 21-year-old law student in the city.

Goodhue grew up on a dairy farm near Kawakawa in a rugby-mad family of four boys and one girl.

“Dad’s been the club captain at United Kawakawa for at least 20 years now,” Goodhue says, “mowing the grass, organising the registrations, taking the rubbish to the dump. And he’s coached all of us.”

What the trio of centres have in common is a sharp intelligence, and an ability to never let a big occasion get the better of them.

Stanley didn’t make the All Blacks until he was 29, and remembers standing in the tunnel at Lancaster Park in 1986 waiting to run out against France for his first test thinking: “These guys are the French, so unpredictable, the world’s best, and here we are, a bunch of little ratbags shoved together, trying to do them over. On the other hand, I guess we were also thinking, ‘What have we got to lose?’”

To the astonishment of the

sporting world, they beat the then Six Nations champions 18-9.

Smith would say before the 2011 World Cup: “We haven’t won many of these tournaments, in case you hadn’t noticed, and we’re determined to change that.

“So we have got to face reality.

“The best way to deal with it is front on, which we probably didn’t do in the past. We swept it away and said, ‘We’re a different team and it’s not going to affect us’. But it’s something we have to deal with. It’s part of our history.”

The 2011 team went on to hold their nerve and win the final 8-7 – the narrowest margin in Cup history.

Goodhue presents as someone with a maturity beyond his years.

The quarter-final with Ireland will be just the 12th test match for the 24-year-old, but it’s hard to picture him being overwhelmed by the occasion.

Before Goodhue’s first Bledisloe Cup test in Sydney last year his Crusaders and All Blacks teammate Ryan Crotty swore that on the field “sometimes I have to check that he’s awake, he’s so calm”.

Part of the maturing process for Goodhue is that he had to deal

with an injury so serious it kept him on the sidelines for eight months early in his career.

In June of 2015, Goodhue was in the New Zealand under-20 team that won the world title, beating England in the final in Italy. Two months later his stellar season came to a crashing halt.

“In the second round of the ITM Cup, we (Canterbury) were playing against Counties, and as a Counties player was making a tackle, as sometimes happens, a leg swung round and caught me on the outside of my knee, which caused it to cave in.”

As much as any player I’ve met in the professional era, Goodhue knows he needs balance in his life.

“I’m quite a man of faith and go to church when I can, which is good for me to get away from the rugby world.

“It’s important to me.

“I also help out with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, which is a mentoring charity, which is nice. I don’t have any little brothers, so I see this guy every week or so, and we’ll just hang out.

“He’s at intermediate school.

“It is important to find the time to take a break from rugby.

You can get caught in the trap of thinking about the game all the time, so it becomes all-consuming and probably unhealthy.”

Another trait Goodhue shares with Stanley and Smith is a quiet, but keen, sense of humour.

That mullet could only be worn by a man who doesn’t take himself too seriously.

Stanley has the ability to verbally skewer pomposity while keeping a perfectly straight face.

As for Smith, I once asked him live on Radio Sport if he had a lawyer joke up his sleeve.

Not missing a beat he replied, “Sure. Two lawyers are talking and one says, ‘If you’re billing a client, how much should a lawyer charge for time he’s actually spent playing golf?’

“The other replies. ‘That depends. Was the golfer a junior or senior partner?’”

As it happens, even in the cauldron of a rugby test, wit is one of the many attributes that makes Welshman Nigel Owens such a good referee.

We should be grateful someone so self-possessed as him is in charge of what will be an emotionally electric game against Ireland.

On top of the world After years of directing teams around rugby fields, Ashburton police officer Fran Clark can now lay claim to being a world champion. Erin Tasker reports.

When the New Zealand Police women’s rugby team took to the field in their first ever shot at the Police International Rugby Championship, an Ashburton police officer was there playing a pivotal role.

Fran Clark was the side’s first-five and vice-captain for the recent tournament in Hong Kong, where the Kiwi women dominated their counterparts from both Australia and Great Britain.

The New Zealand Police women’s team beat Australia in their first game 24-19, with a couple of late tries from the Australians making it sound closer than it was, and a couple of days later they beat Great Britain 21-12.

The teams then headed into a 10s tournament, where the New Zealand women again came out on top, playing like a team that had been together for much longer than they had been.

The first time the team – which was roughly half and half from the South Island and North Island – even came together as a whole, was at Auckland Airport on the way to Hong Kong.

Clark said the opportunity to represent her country came out of the blue.

The team was picked from the police winter games tournament in September last year, but Clark said they didn’t know it at the time.

“A couple of days later they picked a New Zealand team and they said there’s a tournament in Hong Kong,” Clark said.

Vice-captain Clark was the only Ashburton police officer to make one of the teams, while the men’s team was captained by a Timaru police officer, and the teams set off on what turned out to be a great experience, playing rugby which was of a high standard in the middle of the city in Hong Kong in testing temperatures hovering around 33 degrees.

“We had a good forward pack and then

Fran Clark lines up a shot at goal.

Fran Clark looks to get the ball to her backs in Hong Kong. we had fast outside backs, which helped too.

“I was just the plonker at first-five,” Clark said.

She may joke, but in reality Clark was instrumental in the wins. She took on the side’s goal-kicking duties, landing all of her conversions in the Great Britain game, and scored a try in the 10s.

It was far from easy going.

They played on turf, which led to a few more cuts, grazes and bruises than a game would back home, but the Kiwis came through unscathed to claim the title of the world’s best police women’s rugby team, and they were over the moon.

Clark said the two weeks was an incredible experience, both on and off the field.

They were in Hong Kong at a time when rioting was rife, due to the proposed legislation of the 2019 Hong Kong extradition bill.

They might not have witnessed the riots, but they saw the scars, and due to safety fears didn’t wear their police branded gear other than for games.

New Zealand had men’s and women’s teams at the tournament, with the teams selected from the police’s winter games tournament last September – a tournament which saw police competing in an array of sports.

Both the men’s and women’s teams went on to win in Hong Kong.

Clark competed in rugby at the winter games tournament, but in reality she could have picked one of a few sports.

This winter Clark played hockey on a Friday night in the Mid Canterbury first grade competition – the first time she’d tried her hand at hockey – and on Saturday afternoons she turned out for the Celtic women’s rugby team, before taking to the football field playing for Mid Canterbury United on Sunday mornings.

“I was pretty sore by the time I got to soccer,” Clark said.

Sport and policing were two things she’d always been passionate about.

She only started playing rugby when she left school, and the 36-year-old played in Christchurch before the formation of the Celtic women’s side for the 2019 season allowed her to train and play in the town she called home.

She also wanted to join the police when she left school, but bad eyesight meant she required laser eye surgery before she could even think of applying, so she did a few different things in the meantime.

Once she got into the police she spent nine years on the frontline before taking over from long-time Ashburton schools’ officer Chris Wiltshire, who did the job for many years with Pup Chamberlain before both left the force.

Clark had found working with kids in schools to be right up her alley, and it meant working Monday to Friday, which

allowed for plenty of time for weekend sport.

Next year though, Clark is planning on trimming her winter schedule back a bit.

She was keen to give hockey another shot, but wasn’t planning on playing football or club rugby, although she said she would pull her rugby boots on if a planned trans-Tasman police battle between the New Zealand and Australian women’s teams went ahead.

She would love the opportunity to represent her country again.

Clark said it took a lot of hard work, and a lot of support, to get her to Hong Kong.

The players had to fund the trip themselves, which meant running raffles and getting businesses behind them, and Clark said she was fortunate to have the Netherby 4 Square, Braided Rivers, KB Panel and Paint, Skip-2-It, Cairns Groundspreading and Mountain River Processors behind

■■ TENNIS

Youngster the one to beat

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Diego Quispe Kim arrived on the Mid Canterbury Tennis scene with a bang last weekend.

In his first foray into the newlook open grade competition, Quispe Kim – the national under-14 tennis champion – handed multiple time Mid Canterbury Tennis Gala Cup champion Rhys Cromie a big loss.

Cromie only managed to get the one game off Quispe Kim, and today, the task of taking on one of the country’s most promising young tennis players is likely to fall to Jason Feutz.

Feutz is the number one player for Allenton, and today his side is set to take on Quispe Kim’s Fairton team – a team which heads into the match off the back of a pretty strong win to start the season.

The competition’s new-look format combines the old A grade and A reserve competitions, and will see teams of six battle it out in six singles and three doubles matches each Saturday this season.

In round one Fairton beat Dorie 8-1, only dropping the one singles match.

Even after just the one day, Quispe Kim looks set to be the player to beat this season, despite being one of the youngest on court.

As well as being the national under-14 champion, Quispe Kim also took out this year’s Rod Laver Lead-in and Rod Laver 14s tournaments in Australia.

He’s a gun young player, but Feutz also produced a strong start to the season last week, pushing Mid Canterbury’s new tennis coach Jack Tiller to the limit, eventually going down 7-5 7-6.

Rhys Cromie will be looking to bounce back from a rare, big loss in round one, when round two of open grade tennis kicks off today.

Tiller – who usually plays his tennis in the Christchurch premier grade – was a last-minute replacement for Peter Leonard, who sprained his ankle in the earlier doubles.

Leonard is still out today, with Aidan Mitchell set to fill in at

number one for Hampstead.

That will set him up for a showdown with Southern’s Sam Bubb today, another player who looks to have found top early season form.

Bubb and his Southern team picked up a 7-2 win over Methven

to start the season last weekend, with Bubb’s win over Cameron McCracken at the top of the order one of the big talking points of the day.

It was a repeat of last year’s Gala Cup final, which McCracken took out, but this time it was Bubb

who came out on top 6-3 6-4.

Meanwhile, McCracken’s Methven team steps out against Dorie today, meaning if both teams field their top teams, he’ll take on another player looking to bounce back from a round one loss, in Cromie.

Allenton hunting their first win

Blair joins Kiwis squad

By Erin Tasker

New Zealand Kiwis head coach Michael Maguire has confirmed that veteran forward Adam Blair has been brought into the squad for the World Cup Nines at Bankwest Stadium in Sydney starting today.

He arrived from Auckland just yesterday, in time for the team’s final training session at Leichhardt Oval.

Blair (33), with 48 tests and 311 NRL appearances to his name, comes in for would-be debutant Braden Hamlin-Uele.

The Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks interchange forward will sit out the World Cup Nines to prepare for the important tests to follow against the Kangaroos and the Great Britain Lions.

Earlier in the week Sydney Roosters forward Zane Tetevano and Canberra Raiders fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad replaced the unavailable James Fisher-Harris and Jordan Rapana.

Canterbury Country Cricket’s senior grade competition is set to make its first appearance in Ashburton this week, when Allenton hosts the Weedons Cricket Club at the Ashburton Domain.

It’s the first home game for either of the two Mid Canterbury teams that have opted to play in the Canterbury Cricket competition this season, and for the town’s newest team, it will be a chance to show what they’re capable of on home soil.

The Allenton Cricket Club has returned to senior cricket this season after a season off due to a lack of players, but this year’s team is a very different one from days gone by.

The new team is made up entirely of players hailing from India, and their first foray into

competition cricket didn’t go quite as planned last week.

The competition is split into a north and south section, and each week there will be a crossover game between the two sections, with games featuring teams from North Canterbury and Mid Canterbury set to be played at a neutral venue in Rolleston.

That’s what Allenton faced last week, and they lost by a massive 148 runs at Brookside Park after Swannanoa got through to 214/9 off their 40 overs.

In reply Allenton struggled through to 66 all out.

Today they’re back in the south section against a team that also lost big on Saturday.

Weedons took on Mid Canterbury’s other team – Tech – in round one and the game followed a similar path to Allenton’s, with the Tech boys even-

tually coming out on top by 232 runs.

For Tech, it was the perfect start, and they’ll be looking to make it two from two when they head to Tai Tapu to take on Peninsula-Harbour today.

The Tech team that took to the park last weekend was also very different to the Tech of days gone by, with the club having acquired the services of a few key players from other clubs.

Dwindling numbers resulted in Mid Canterbury Cricket’s Saturday afternoon senior grade falling by the wayside this season, replaced by a mid-week 18 over competition which will start next month, while clubs still keen for some serious Saturday cricket were given the option of joining the Canterbury Country competition.

With Lauriston and Coldstream deciding not to travel,

Tech picked up a number of players including Bevan Richan, Nick Gilbert and Liam O’Connor from Lauriston, and Richard Print from Coldstream – all of whom made their Tech debuts last weekend.

Dan Thomas, who had been playing in Christchurch, has also returned to play for Tech, adding to what looks to be a Tech side that could be hard to beat this season.

Both games will get under way at 1pm today, weather permitting.

But unlike round one, where rain threatened to derail plans, the forecast is looking good for today.

Although both Allenton and Tech’s games got played last week, the other south section match between Greendale and Peninsula-Harbour was abandoned.

Hoping no-one rains on her parade

By Matt Markham

matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Leading South Island jockey Kylie Williams isn’t going to let a little bit of rain dampen her prospects of a good day at the office at today’s Ashburton Racing Club meeting.

Williams, who has long been a permanent part of the South Island riding ranks, holds two very strong hands in the two feature races of today’s meeting and yesterday afternoon she was touching wood that both would still take their place in their respective features.

She was confident, her ride in the Barneswood Farm Stakes, Miss Federer would head to the starting gates, but more hopeful that Ashburton Cup ride, Don Carlo would be there.

“He’s never really been on a wet track so I’m not sure whether he’ll line up or not,” she said of the latter.

“Then again, he does need a run before Cup Week so he might be forced to race.”

The Michael Daly trained runner has been off the scene since April of last year due to injury so will likely improve greatly with the run but the six-year-old has impressed his jockey in both trials ahead of today’s resumption.

“He’s a really good horse and I’ve

“However Ashburton is quite a good track for that because of the bend, it’s long and winding so it shouldn’t make too much difference to her.”

A natural born on-speed runner, Miss Federer has shown a liking for being on the speed and Williams will be out to try and get there today and hopefully steal enough of a march on key rivals when they straighten for home.

“It’s good to be in front turning in at Ashburton because it’s hard for those ones coming from the back, especially if they’re working coming round that last bend – it can really take it out of them.”

Both Miss Federer and Don Carlo are six dollar chances in their respective features today, but Williams rates another of her rides as one of her best chances in Miss Oaks in the opening race of the day.

“I think the long run down the back straight will suit her, she hasn’t had much luck lately to be honest.

“She’s a big chance.”

Williams last night was down to take eight rides on the Ashburton card although a couple had question marks over them due to the potential track conditions, which last night were listed as being Dead6.

been over the moon with both his trials – they were excellent.

“He’s a funny horse though – a bit of a character, he only does what he has to do and no more.

“He’ll never win races by really big margins because he likes to toy with his rivals a fair bit.

“If he wasn’t any good you wouldn’t carry on with him to be fair, but he’s just got so much ability.”

In 15 career starts Don Carlo has won seven and placed second on another three occasions with four of those seven wins in races between 1100 and 1300 metres with today’s distance in the $35,000 feature 1200 metres.

While there is still some uncertainty around Don Carlo taking his place, Williams is excited about getting back on board the Canterbury Belle Stakes-winning filly Miss Federer for former Ashburton trainer Andrew Carston.

A filly who has shown ability on rain-affected tracks in the past, she was in a class of her own last time out at Riccarton, although she steps up today to take on the boys and also steps up in distance to the 1400 metres.

“That’s probably the only concern, the 1400 metres,” Williams said.

Wanted a sporting all rounder who wants to be a star….

The Ashburton Guardian has an opportunity for a passionate reporter to make their mark in the world of sport.

We’re looking for someone who lives for sport – all codes, who is keen to get to know the triers, the grinders the good teams and the sporting stars of the Ashburton District.

You’ll be a one-person sports team, among an editorial team of experienced journalists, covering everything from representative rugby and netball, right down to primary school’s football and hockey.

The Guardian is a progressive, six-day a week newspaper in the heart of a sporting strong hold.

Our sports coverage is one of the cornerstones of the business.

Our readers are passionate players, watchers and arm-chair critics who love nothing more than reading a good yarn about local sporting stars or teams.

Sport takes place at any time on any given day, so you’ll be flexible with your working hours and willing to go above and beyond the call of duty to provide the sports coverage that the paper requires.

You’ll also get the opportunity to swing one of our cameras around from time to time too.

Weekend work in this role is a given, but that does mean that you’ll get time off during the week to enjoy everything our district has to offer. That could mean that in Winter you are on the slopes within an hour of raising your head from the pillow or in summer out on the lake after just a 10-minute drive.

If you think you could be the sporting star we are looking for, then we would love to hear from you.

Send us an application letter along with your CV, telling us about your passion for sport and what you could bring to the Guardian team.

Please send your application, along with CV to Matt Markham by e-mail: matt.m@theguardian.co.nz or post to Box 77, Ashburton 7740.

Applications close, November 1.

Cryptic crossword

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Words are almost as great a disguise as the old glasses, nose and moustache in their ability to conceal main features and obscure intent and identity. Of course, the voice always gives it away.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): The only difference between repeating a series of actions in exchange for money and repeating the same actions for free is that money provides an external motivation and free cultivates an internal one.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The best way to gain a skill is to jump in and figure it out, expecting to mess up a fair amount and learn as you go.

So save your money. Don’t buy the class, just begin the task.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Adulthood is rife with lies, liars, fictional constructs, unnecessary rules, imaginary power and much more falling under the catchall category of “nuance.” Expect it, deal with it, prevail, then reward your maturity.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): This is no time to lose heart!

Don’t give into thought processes that spiral downward. There’s nothing wrong with you, life is inherently messy, and all humans are flawed. Choose optimism and march on.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): As much as you’d like to keep certain information to yourself, there are people you feel so comfortable around that you will inevitably let down your guard and spill the beans. To keep a secret, keep away.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The ability to remain very cool is difficult to cultivate, involving years of practice in high-intensity, adrenaline-surging situations. You should be proud of your emotional control. You came by it honestly.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): In one podcast, your signmate Henry Winkler recently claimed the qualities of tenacity and gratitude as his guiding values. Should you do the same, fortune will favour you this evening.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The difference between freedom and servitude is a margin. If you can spend two-thirds of your day doing what you please, you’re among the truly free.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Right now, you don’t necessarily need people around you who want what you have. Your dream team will be made of those with complementary talents and skills and a well-matched sense of humour.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You respect that others in your circle have their own responsibilities, stressors and stimuli to process. That’s why you’re careful not to take up more than your share of time. If only all were so conscientious.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’re exposed to many kinds of people, some of whom are so much like you that interacting with them will give you the clarity of a rare vantage into your own life.
