Methven’s annual rodeo attracted a bumper crowd of at least 5000 yesterday but a rare event cast a shadow on the rodeo, when a horse was injured and later died. Organisers said the 49th annual rodeo started with a full carpark and full spectator areas, and the crowd was wellbehaved in the presence of extra police assigned to cover the event. New Zealand Rodeo Cowboys Association president Lyal Cocks said the horse was injured during a second division saddle bronc event when its saddle slipped and the horse became entangled in the girth. The horse was sedated by the event’s veterinarian but later died. The competitor, who was uninjured, was bucked off just prior to the saddle coming loose. Cocks said it was a rare accident and the welfare of the stock was a priority at every rodeo.

“We endeavour to minimise every potential risk to stock and competitors and it’s disappointing when a rare accident like this occurs. “I’ve been involved in rodeo, off and on, for more than 40 years and I’ve never seen this happen before. “We will investigate the accident and, if there’s anything to be learned from it, the investigation will reveal that.” He will receive reports from the event’s animal welfare officers and the veterinarian. The current rodeo season has just started with the first event held at Winchester, without incident, on Saturday. Events at Methven got under way at 10am yesterday, with second division competitions leading up to the premier bull riding and saddle bronc contests. The top bullrider was Ernie Rika while last year’s rookie saddle bronc champion Arthur Shaw won the open class this year. Other events included barrel racing,

steer wrestling and calf roping. There was no second division bull ride this year as a precaution against spreading the cattle disease mycoplasma bovis – second division bulls usually come from local farms. A three-legged race for students from schools in the Methven area generated plenty of vocal support from the crowd with Mt Somers Springburn School unable to defend the title it won last year and a team from Methven Primary School coming out on top. Some of the profits of the day will be given to groups helping reduce suicide in rural areas. Methven town hospitality spots had post-rodeo entertainment organised, while organisers are already thinking about special features for the 50th anniversary rodeo in 2019. A group calling for Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to put an end to rodeos was in attendance at the Winchester Rodeo on Saturday.

■ ASHBURTON ROTARY CLUB

Bookarama continues as big dollar earner for Rotary By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton Rotary Club members can be forgiven for taking life easy. Over just one week they earned $54,000 from selling used books, puzzles and games and that money will progressively find its way back into the community in grants and donations. The money was raised through the hugely popular event, Bookarama, that saw thousands of people flock to the Ashburton Sports Hall to stock up on a year’s worth of reading material. Convenor of this year’s event David Mead said the event had been a huge success and funds raised were on a par with the previous year. When the doors closed after six days of trading, Rotarians faced the tough job of checking and boxing leftover boxes that will provide the starting point for next year’s event. Two or three pallets full of boxes are now in storage. The post sale pack-up is a chance to run a rigorous quality check over books and any that don’t pass the test are sent to recycling. It’s all about ensuring only quality books and games make the sales table, Mead said. “We just pick the best out of those that are left over.” The funds raised will be disbursed over the year as applications are made. Each application is assessed to ensure it meets qualifying criteria.

Bookarama continues to be a popular, well supported fundraiser for the Ashburton Rotary Club.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Council meetings to go high tech By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ratepayers could soon be watching Ashburton District councillors in action from the comfort of their armchairs. Councillors on Thursday agreed that council and standing committee meetings should be videoed in a six-month trial, but this will not start until the council meeting chamber relocates to the new civil defence headquarters on Havelock Street. This is expected

Y DA O T US L L CA

to be at the start of the new year. The new council chamber will have a fixed camera mounted so all meetings can be videoed and streamed. While more sophisticated ways of live streaming meetings were available, this approach provided the council with an economical way of providing a service to the public for around $20,000. Mayor Donna Favel said she was keen to see the council use technology to ensure as many people

as possible could view council meetings, but she urged caution over showing meetings in real time. “Speaking to other mayors around New Zealand, there are concerns over live video streams, concerns that people can access councillors around the council table during discussions. I’d like to see us doing this but with delayed streaming,” she said. Council informations systems manager Gordon Tupper said that

streaming could be delayed until the following day with any breaks in the meeting edited out. Neil Brown added a word of caution – editing breaks should not mean editing any of the debate or action around the council table. The value of live streaming will be assessed after the six-month trial. As an aside to streaming meetings, councillor Mark Malcolm asked why the council did not allow councillors to skype into

meetings rather than attending in person. Skype attendance was discussed in 2013 and 2016 and councillors decided they were not comfortable holding meetings where not all participants were physically present. While it might have value in areas such as Southland and Mackenzie, where some councillors had to travel significant distances to meetings, it was not as relevant for Ashburton.

■ DRIVING

Flying the flag for age on the road By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

He mightn’t be the fastest driver on the road, but Tom Bennett could be Ashburton’s oldest. At 99, just one month short of his 100th birthday, Tom’s passed his driving test with flying colours and he’s wondering what all the fuss is about. As a Wakanui farmer’s son, Tom can’t remember a time when he couldn’t drive. “We had an old truck of dad’s that we used to drive around the farm but I didn’t officially learn to drive until I joined the army,” he said. Two traffic cops came out to Burnham Camp to test army recruits and Tom gained his first licence. “I drove around nice and steady and he asked me which licences I wanted. I told him everything but I let my heavy vehicle licence go a few years ago now,” he said. Keeping your licence as you get older is important, Tom said. It’s all about independence. “I drive out to the farm at Wakanui every week and I drive to the RSA for dinner on Wednesdays and sometimes I drive to Wakanui Beach and look at the sea.” He can no longer make the longer journeys to Christchurch or Timaru. That’s a condition of his licence, but there’s always family who can chauffeur him if he wants a day out, Tom said.

Tom Bennett turns 100 next month and he’s proud to be still driving the Ashburton District’s roads. PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 191018-SN-0045 He’s always passed his medical. “That thing at the doctor’s, there’s a memory test. They asked me to tell them five words starting with the letter F. I knew I could tell

them one,” he said. The first attempt at his driving test was a fail. The tester talked too much, Tom talked too much and he went through a stop sign.

“This time round I didn’t talk to him at all and his only complaint is that I went a bit slow. I told him I was being cautious.” He now wears glasses for driv-

ing, but says he still feels pretty confident behind the wheel. His top speed, he said, is around 80km/h. If other drivers want to pass, then that’s fine. Tom’s lost count of the cars he’s owned. He’s always been a big car man – de Sotos, Valiants and dozens more. Now he’s driving a more modest Mitsubishi. Like him, he said, it’s getting on a bit, but currently he’s not looking at replacing the car. And he has an accident-free driving record – apart from one crash where he was not at fault. “I was travelling through the Lindis Pass and this American hit me, he was travelling on the wrong side of the road,” Tom said. There was also the time he dozed off while driving his dad’s Chev home from a dance at the Radiant Hall, but he and the car managed to survive that one unscathed. One of the downsides of being an older driver on roads you’ve known all your life is the changes in road layouts and landmarks. “I know where things are but a lot’s changed. The whole district’s changed really, to what it used to be and I don’t know anybody any more, they’ve all gone, I’m the only one left.” Tom’s in pretty good health. His feet hurt, he has a knee that’s not too good and his hip is sore but when he’s sitting in the car, he feels great. Nothing hurts.

■ POLITICS

MP Jami-Lee Ross admitted to mental health care MP Jami-Lee Ross has been taken into mental health care. Newstalk ZB understands he was taken in by police. He was taken to a facility in Auckland. A National Party spokesman said: “Over the past several weeks the National Party has taken seri-

ously the mental health concerns raised by Mr Ross and the medical professionals he has been involved with. That has included seeking advice from medical professionals and involving Police wherever necessary to ensure support is made available to Mr Ross. It would not be appropriate

to comment further.” Ross took leave from Parliament at the beginning of the month. He told reporters last week that it was because he was “devastated” at being accused of harassment and denied natural justice. When he talked to media on Tuesday and Wednesday, he said

that his doctor had cleared him and he was feeling healthy. He rejected comments from National deputy leader Paula Bennett that he was suffering from mental health issues, saying that his doctor had called Bennett to tell her that he was healthy. Those comments were made

■ ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

In brief

A helper, not an exhibitor By Tim Cronshaw

Tim.c@Theguardian.co.nz

Over David Butterick’s 62 years of going to the Ashburton A&P Show he has never really exhibited his sheep or any other livestock. Other members of the Butterick family have entered the show ring, but having a crack at a red ribbon hasn’t appealed. The Lauriston farmer has taken enough pleasure in visiting the sheep, cattle and horse sections each year as a spectator. The attraction for him has always been to attend the agricultural event and over the past 25 years to act as a volunteer. Catching up with old farming mates and chatting to people is enough to mark down the show in the family calendar each year. The president of the Ashburton A&P Association, 63, will continue a remarkable run which began when he was a babe in his mother’s arms. Born in August, he would have been a few months old when he first went through the turnstiles. “I think I have been 62 times. We have never missed one that I can remember. October is always a busy month for a farmer and there are no holidays to be had so the show is a break for a good day’s outing that doesn’t cost that much.’’ The arable farmer grazes beef cattle, heifers and some sheep at Glenafton farm and is a big show supporter. His first show memory was when he was a young child. “What I can first remember is probably the family parking in the car park which is now the trade space. It was only onethird of the space that it is now. It was just being in the car and turning up at the show – that’s it, I can’t remember much else.’’ The trade sites have gone on to be among his favourite attractions. Butterick says he never had much inclination to compete in the show rings, but enjoyed visiting the pens. “My Dad and I never did much

David Butterick will be at the helm of the Ashburton A&P Show this weekend. PHOTO TIM CRONSHAW 191018-TC-001 exhibiting over the years. We weren’t into stud sheep and I think it’s born into you a bit, but I have been helping at the show for 25 years perhaps and that’s given me a lot of pleasure. “I’ve never been an exhibitor, I’ve been a helper.’’ Someone asked him to be a steward in the sheep section and he went on to join the committee and then to be the chairman. He moved on to the general committee and several years ago became the senior vice-president, progressing into the first year of a two-year term presidency this year. “I’ve got no regrets really. I enjoyed going to the meetings.

BLOCKED DRAINS

Dairy Saucer/Wedge/Sump and Drain Clearing.

There has been times when it hasn’t been [all roses], but the show is a brilliant event on the Ashburton calendar and we have a bit of fun.’’ As many volunteer hours as he has stacked up, there are others who have put in more work. That’s an indication of the place the show has in Mid Canterbury people’s hearts. Becoming the president has always been an ambition of his as he is the first Butterick to achieve the honour. Butterick’s theme for this year’s show is irrigation because it is the lifeblood of Mid Canterbury and he himself operated on an irrigated farm.

Allen’s Ashburton offer a great service

Before irrigation, farmers were vulnerable to droughts and restricted in their farming, but it has opened the way to dairying, potato growing, small seeds, maize and other types of farming, he says. The theme reflects irrigation of the past including the building of the RDR, Lyndhurst and Mayfield Hind schemes. Their construction in the 1930s and 1940s created jobs and much of the work was done by manual labour. He says strong entries point to another well attended show, particularly if the weather cooperates. Organisers continue to tweak the event to ensure its appeal remains. Last year they changed the layout to ease over-crowding and that was a success. The growth of greater Ashburton is expected to support its future. “Ashburton’s population has increased. I remember a few years ago some bright spark said Ashburton county would never get to 25,000 people and now I think we are sitting on 30,000 and we are looking for more. “We have lots of unfilled positions and one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country. “Hopefully many of these people will come to the show.’’ All the crowd favourites will be there again as a show drawcard, with one exception. Butterick says the cancellation of cattle showing is disappointing, but necessary because of the risk of spreading the mycoplasma bovis cattle disease. The show will continue with livestock exhibiting remaining a strong attraction, he says. “The risk of bovis was too much to handle. But I think the bovis thing is calming down and hopefully in the next few years cattle will return, but we have to take the precaution.’’ That shouldn’t stop anyone from coming to the show. As in the past, it will bring townspeople and rural folks together.

Unsettled weather A high pressure system, bringing largely settled weather to New Zealand this Labour Weekend, is set to persist over parts of the country into the week ahead. Meteorologist Rob Kerr said a northwest flow would build over the South Island from tomorrow bringing rain to western parts and warm winds to the east by Wednesday. The South Island is still expected to see highs in the mid-high 20s in the early part of the week. A cold front is expected on Thursday bringing rain. And remember, if you are spending longer outside in the sun during these warm spring days, it always pays to stay sun smart.

Lotto winners Two Bay of Plenty punters have an extra reason to celebrate this long weekend after each winning $25,093 in Lotto’s draw on Saturday night. They were among 13 players around the country who each won $18,189 in Lotto’s second division in Saturday night’s draw. The two lucky players from Bay of Plenty and another from Wellington also won Powerball’s second division, taking their total winnings to $25,093. - NZME

Body recovered Police searching for missing Queenstown man Alan Wilson have recovered what they believe to be his body under his boat at Frankton Marina. The 63-yearold hadn’t been seen since about 2.30pm on October 19 after heading to Lake Wakatipu. Formal identification was under way, but it was believed to be Wilson. Police said the body was located about 8pm on Saturday using underwater camera gear. Earlier, police had said Wilson was in good spirits when he was last heard from. The dinghy Wilson used to get to his boat was found on the Frankton Beach shoreline. - NZME

■ SMALLBONE ASHBURTON

New duo at the Smallbone helm Growth and opportunity are the key focuses for Smallbone Ashburton’s new leadership duo. The local business, which in June next year will recognise 100 years of operation, has welcomed Glenn Moore on as the new general manager of the dealership franchises in both Ashburton and Timaru and Lyndon Moore has been elevated from sales manager to dealer principal for the Ashburton automotive business. The pair replace departed general manager Gary Clement who has taken on the role of general manager of machinery with Carrfields Group, who are part of the joint venture which owns Smallbone Ltd. Both men are looking forward to the growth going forward within the business. Glenn comes from a strong manufacturing background, having worked in the meat and food production industry for the past 25 years, holding executive management roles for companies including South Island Fresh Foods, One Harvest and Bush Road Ltd. Carrfields Group manager director Craig Carr said the board was delighted to have recruited Glenn to lead the business. “We are thrilled to welcome Glenn to the team. He’s an exceptionally high-calibre individual who brings broad experience in business and senior leadership positions in New Zealand and Australia to the role,” Carr said. “Following the tireless efforts of

Gary Clement in building up the Smallbone business to where it is now, we are very excited about the next chapter in its growth story.” Lyndon, has been with Smallbone Ashburton Automotive branch for 25 years and has developed exceptionally strong sales skills. He has won over 20 national sales awards and has held the title of number one salesperson for his group for the past 10 years. He has been a strong leader within the business for many years and is looking forward to the challenge of working in other aspects of the business continuing to grow a professional and expert team, all while still being able to interact and help his customers. “I have built strong relationships with my clients, and my door is always open for people to come in for a coffee and chat,” he said. The pair both agreed that customers are the backbone of a business like Smallbone. “We need to focus on continuing the strong service experience that we provide for our customers while moving the company forward and seeking new opportunities,” Glenn said. Smallbone has become a household name in Mid Canterbury since the Smallbone brothers, Harold and Frank, opened their first garage in Ashburton in 1919. The company secured the agency for Chevrolet and General Motors in 1930.

■ AIR AMBULANCE

New agreement for air ambulance services By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

When improved air ambulance services roll out across the South Island next month, Ashburton residents will be among those experiencing the benefits. Health Minister David Clark last week announced that a new agreement had been signed with a new provider, Helicopter Emergency Medical Services New Zealand

Limited (HEMS), to offer air ambulances that are “safer, better and firmly focused on patients”. The changes will affect services out of Christchurch, including the Ashburton District – along with Queenstown, Dunedin, Nelson and Greymouth. Christchurch has previously had one helicopter, sponsored and branded as the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, with a dedi-

cated clinical crew available during the day, and on-call at night. Garden City Helicopters General Manager Simon Duncan said there would now be a second helicopter, sponsored by his company. On the “main” helicopter, there will also be a dedicated clinical crew available 24/7, to respond faster around the clock. “Our community will achieve benefits from this,” he said. HEMS is a joint ven-

ture between two well-established existing providers, Helicopters Otago and GCH Aviation (Christchurch). HEMS will be supported by existing trusts and funds raised by each trust will continue to support services in their area. The new contract begins on November 1 and the second Christchurch helicopter is expected to start servicing the area from 2019.

■ ASHBURTON FIREFIGHTERS

Cause of RX Plastics fire unclear BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Clouds of thick, black smoke put Ashburton volunteer firefighters on high alert as they raced to the scene of a fire at RX Plastics’ Tinwald yard on Saturday night. But while the smoke was highly visible, the fire turned out to be on a smaller scale and was centred in a pile of plastic waste outside the company’s manufacturing buildings. Fire chief Alan Burgess said the cause of the fire was unclear and the company would be investigating. He said it was possible hot plastic discarded in the pipe-making process could have retained its heat and been the initial source. Black smoke rising from the area triggered multiple 111 calls and fire crews responded at 5.07pm. The fire spread to wooden pallets containing plastic also destined for recycling. Burgess said firefighters wore breathing apparatus to avoid breathing in toxic smoke from the burning plastic. A specialist cleanup crew was also called to suck up water used to douse the flames, to avoid potentially toxic run-off mak-

ing its way into waterways. He said the plant was not operational at the time, though maintenance was being carried out. The blaze left black marks on one building’s exterior. Fire crews were called back to the site at 9am yesterday when more black smoke was spotted. It turned out to be from the nearby Plains Museum where trains were being stoked up for running. Burgess said it had been a busy two weeks with 24 callouts, including another fire at a Tinwald gym and a double fatal at Ealing. Firefighters were monitoring their energy and stress levels, as well as making sure they snatched sleep when they could. “Everyone is well aware of the concerns around stress and sleep deprivation and keeping an eye on it.” A call-out to the Huntingdon area on Friday night involved a fire in an irrigation pump house in the middle of a paddock. Firefighters had to wait for electricity to the structure to be shut down before dealing with the flames. A fault in the pump system was thought to be the cause.

■ SAUDI ARABIA

‘Fistfight’ blamed for death of Saudi journalist Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi died in a “fistfight” in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, the kingdom claimed yesterday, finally admitting that the writer had been slain at its diplomatic post. Authorities said 18 Saudi suspects were in custody and intelligence officials had been fired. The came more than two weeks after Khashoggi, 59, entered the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul for paperwork required to marry his Turkish fiancée, and never came out. They also contradicted assertions in Turkish media leaks that Khashoggi was tortured, killed and dismembered inside the consulate, claims the kingdom had rejected as “baseless”. But growing international pressure and comments by US officials up to President Donald Trump forced the kingdom to acknowledge Khashoggi’s death. While it fired officials close to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia stopped short of implicating the heir-apparent of the world’s largest oil exporter. King Salman, his father, appointed him to lead a committee that will restructure the kingdom’s intelligence services after Khashoggi’s slaying. No major decisions in Saudi Arabia are made outside of the ultraconservative kingdom’s ruling Al Saud family. The kingdom also offered a far different version of events than those given by Turkish officials, who have said an “assassination squad” from the kingdom including an official from Prince Mohammed’s entourage and an “autopsy expert” flew in ahead of time and laid in wait for Khashoggi at the consulate. Beyond its statements attributed to anonymous officials, Saudi Arabia offered no evidence to support its claims.

Jamal Khashoggi Khashoggi, a prominent journalist and royal court insider for decades in Saudi Arabia, had written columns for The Washington Post critical of Prince Mohammed and the kingdom’s direction while living in self-imposed exile in the US. “God have mercy on you my love Jamal, and may you rest in Paradise,” Khashoggi’s fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, tweeted following the Saudi announcements. In a statement, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the US will closely follow international investigations into Khashoggi’s death and will advocate for justice that is “timely, transparent and in accordance with all due process”. Trump meanwhile called the Saudi announcement a “good first step,” but said what happened to Khashoggi was “unacceptable”. The announcements came in a flurry of statements carried by the state-run Saudi Press Agency. “Preliminary investigations conducted by the Public Prosecution showed that the

suspects had traveled to Istanbul to meet with the citizen Jamal Khashoggi as there were indications of the possibility of his returning back to the country,” the statement read. “Discussions took place with the citizen Jamal Khashoggi during his presence in the consulate of the kingdom in Istanbul by the suspects (that) did not go as required and developed in a negative way, leading to a fistfight. . The brawl led to his death and their attempt to conceal and hide what happened.” There’s been no indication Khashoggi had any immediate plans to return to the kingdom. The Saudi statements did not identify the 18 Saudis being held by authorities and did not explain how so many people could have been involved in a fistfight. The statement also did not shed any light on what happened to Khashoggi’s body after his death. “The kingdom expresses its deep regret at the painful developments that have taken place and stresses the commitment of the authorities in the kingdom to bring the facts to the public opinion, to hold all those involved accountable and bring them to justice,” the statement said. The kingdom at the same time announced the firing of four top intelligence officials, including Major General Ahmed bin Hassan Assiri, a one-time spokesman for the Saudi military’s campaign in Yemen who later became a confidant of Prince Mohammed. Saud Qahtani, a powerful adviser to Prince Mohammed, also was fired. Qahtani had led Saudi efforts to isolate Qatar amid a boycott of the country by the kingdom and three other Arab nations as part of a political dispute. - AP

■ GUATEMALA

Migrants vow to re-form human caravan About 2000 Central American migrants who circumvented Mexican police at a border bridge and swam, forded and floated across the river from Guatemala have decided to re-form their mass caravan and continue their trek towards the US. Gathered at a park in the border city of Ciudad Hidalgo, the migrants voted by a show of hands and then marched to the bridge to urge those still there to cross the river and join them. “Let’s all walk together!” and “Yes we can!” they cried, defying warnings to turn back from US President Donald Trump, who has sought to make the caravan and border security in general into a campaign issue a little over two weeks before midterm elections. The group’s decision capped a day in which Mexican authorities again refused mass entry to migrants on the bridge, instead accepting small groups for asylum processing and giving out 45-day visitor permits to some of them. Mexico had sought to maintain order after a chaotic weekend in which thousands rushed across the bridge only to be halted by a phalanx of officers in riot gear. Authorities began handing out numbers for people to be processed in a strategy seen before at US border posts when dealing

Prince Harry

Meghan takes a break The pregnant Duchess of Sussex took a break from royal tour engagements yesterday morning after a late night at the Invictus Games opening. Prince Harry stepped out solo for the first time since the tour began in Australia last Tuesday. He was on hand for Invictus Games events in Sydney yesterday. Although he has been praised for bending royal rules and being hands-on during the visit, there is only so far he’s prepared to go. He gracefully refused to sign a green and gold pair of budgie smugglers despite the good-natured pleas of three Aussie soldiers. - AAP

Selma Blair has MS Actress and activist Selma Blair has revealed in an Instagram post that she has multiple sclerosis. She wrote that she was diagnosed with the disease on August 16, and described the effect it has had on her life. “I am disabled. I fall sometimes. I drop things. My memory is foggy,” she wrote. “And my left side is asking for directions from a broken GPS. But we are doing it.” She also expressed gratitude to her doctor, saying that she had been trying to get a diagnosis for a long time. - AAP

with large numbers of migrants. But despite a continued heavy police deployment on the bridge, a steady stream of migrants made it to Mexican soil with relative ease by crossing the Suchiate River that demarcates the notoriously po-

rous border. They swam, waded with the aid of ropes or paid locals to ferry people and goods across the muddy waters, and were not detained on reaching the Mexican bank. - AP

The world has lost its mind since Lady Gaga broke the news of being engaged, despite wearing her ring unnoticed for more than nine months. While being honoured at the Women In Hollywood Awards hosted by Elle magazine in Beverly Hills last week, the 32-year-old singer confirmed her engagement with Christian Carino, 49, by thanking him as her “fiance”. After this moment, everyone finally noticed the engagement ring adorned on Lady Gaga’s left hand, which is estimated to be valued at a whopping $1.9m if it’s a pink diamond. - AP

■ SEVEN DEADLY STUNTS

Pair promise a wild ride BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Lizzie Tollemache and David Ladderman have a marriage steeped in showbiz and a bad habit for taking “stupid and unnecessary risks” to entertain others. The Christchurch couple are bringing two big, bold shows to Ashburton next Thursday and promising audiences a wild ride. In Seven Deadly Stunts, they will undertake some of the most notorious stunts from carnival history – from walking on glass to swallowing fire to juggling a chainsaw. The stunts have taken months of training and rehearsing to build absolute trust, Tollemache said – despite her history as an accomplished sideshow stuntwoman and theatre-maker, and Ladderman’s as an actor and circus performer. The majority of that training takes place at home. “Our poor neighbours probably hear myself and David throwing around chainsaws and bowling balls,” she said. Things haven’t always gone completely smoothly. Despite being careful, Ladderman has sliced a bit off the side of his finger and Tollemache has burnt nearly all of her face while training with fire. But by the time the stunts get to stage the couple say they have everything they can in place to make sure it goes right, and doesn’t result in the decimation of their limbs or their marriage. “It’s amazing, learning to put our trust in one another,” Tollemache said. “Nothing releases tensions faster than having someone stand on your face while you’re lying on broken glass.”

The result which they deliver audiences is something you can’t quite recreate anywhere else, she said. “The world is more modern and more technological, but there’s nothing like real bodies and real risks being on the stage in front of you. If it goes wrong, nobody’s going to call cut.” The couple will also be delivering background the origins of each stunt as they perform it. The couple have spent five years with Rollicking Entertainment, during which they have found inspiration in the likes of Harry Houdini and the history of famous carnivals. Tollemache firmly believes in the power of simply switching off the cellphone, and the “electricity” of the theatre atmosphere. Live entertainment is becoming less popular, she said, and it’s crucial we keep the magic alive. Before Seven Deadly Stunts takes place, children of all ages will have their own chance to experience the magic of live theatre, with a separate, slapstick show called Messy Magic Adventure. The show follows Tollemache and Ladderman as “Spray” and “Wipe”, two cleaners hired to clean a magician’s house. Things turn to chaos when they accidentally let the magic out of its box, and it’s the audience’s job to help. “It’s about finding the magic in the everyday,” Tollemache said. “It’s definitely not a sit down and shut up kind of story.” Messy Magic Adventure will be kick off at 6pm on Thursday November 1, and Seven Deadly Stunts will follow at 8pm – both at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre. The shows are being held as an open hat night, where audiences pay what they think the show is worth.

OUR VIEW

What a week in NZ politics I

am feeling my age. I’m beginning to think that some of our MPs are simply too young for the job they were elected to do. That may not be a politically correct thought but it’s a valid one given events centred around National’s Botany MP Jami-Lee Ross in the past fortnight. Fingered as the leaker of leader Simon Bridges’ travel expenses, 32-year-old Ross retaliated by accusing Bridges of donation tampering and being a fraud. Then loyal deputy Paula Bennett exposed Ross’ extra-marital business. The whole sordid meltdown since has been unbelievable. Perhaps best described by former

MP Tau Henare as the equivalent of putting a pound of butter in a microwave and waiting for it to explode. The mess goes everywhere and it’s hard to clean up. Ross or JLR, as he has become known, makes me think of another of JR Ewing from Dallas. If you can’t remember that good ol’ American TV show, then try finding some old episodes on You Tube. Dallas was all about power

and money and JR was central to the plot: His character was a greedy, egocentric, manipulative, amoral oil baron with psychopathic tendencies, constantly plotting subterfuges to plunder his foes’ wealth. It was great television viewing. JLR has provided plenty of highlight reels himself in New Zealand this past week, releasing a taped conversation and admitting his affairs. I’m sure everyone who has ever had a conversation with the man will be wondering if they have been secretly recorded. If the Nats ever suspected he was a timebomb waiting to go off, they will be rueing not having cut the wires way before now.

JLR has been in politics since he was 18, first as a Manukau City Councillor, then as Botany MP at just 25. That’s just too young in my humble opinion. He did some work as an electorate secretary for MP Maurice Williamson but where is his experience in the real world, in a world outside politics? Where is his life experience? Where did he work in an ordinary job, learning about how to get on with colleagues, respect and tolerate their differences? Being a Member of Parliament should not be anyone’s first real job and it’s naïve to think that at that age he, or indeed any MP, had the necessary skills to do it.

Again, I’m feeling my age because I can think of a few other occasions when young MPs have acted disgracefully and without maturity. So have JLR’s actions left National’s leadership in tatters or have they galvanised support for Bridges? Time will tell, but there’s plenty of legs on this story to last for a long time yet. The people I feel for the most are his wife and children. They have been dragged, undeservedly, into this political firestorm. Labour MPs, to their credit and probably under orders from Jacinda, have said nothing. They don’t need to do anything except pass the popcorn.

the Beltway Snipers. In 2014, a gunman shot and killed a soldier standing guard at a war memorial in Ottawa, then stormed the Canadian Parliament before he was shot and killed by the usually ceremonial sergeantat-arms. Ten years ago: Wall Street tumbled again as investors worried that the global economy was poised to weaken. The fishing vessel Katmai sank in the Bering Sea off Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, killing seven crewmen; four survived. India launched its first mission to the moon to redraw maps of the lunar surface. . Five years ago: The United States defended drone strikes targeting al-Qaida operatives and others, rejecting reports by Human

Rights Watch and Amnesty International questioning the legality of attacks that the groups asserted had killed or wounded scores of civilians in Yemen and Pakistan. One year ago: The latest allegations of sexual harassment or assault in Hollywood targeted writer and director James Toback; the Los Angeles Times reported that he had been accused of sexual harassment by 38 women. USbacked fighters in Syria captured the country’s largest oil field from the Islamic State group, marking a major advance against the extremists. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe scored a major victory in national elections that decisively returned his ruling coalition to power.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Monday, October 22, the 295th day of 2018. There are 70 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On October 22, 1979, the US government allowed the deposed Shah of Iran to travel to New York for medical treatment — a decision that precipitated the Iran hostage crisis. On this date: In 1746, Princeton University was first chartered as the College of New Jersey. In 1797, French balloonist AndreJacques Garnerin made the first parachute descent, landing safely from a height of about 3000 feet over Paris. In 1811, composer and piano virtuoso Franz Liszt was born in the Hungarian town of Raiding in present-day Austria. In 1928, Republican presidential nominee Herbert Hoover spoke of the “American system of rugged individualism” in a speech at New York’s Madison Square Garden. In 1934, bank robber Charles “Pretty Boy” Floyd was shot to death by federal agents and local police at a farm near East Liverpool, Ohio. In 1962, in a nationally broadcast address, President John F Kennedy revealed the presence of Soviet-built missile bases under construction in Cuba and announced a quarantine of all offensive military equipment being shipped to the Communist island nation. In 1981, the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organisation was decertified by the federal government for its strike the previous August. In 1991, the European Community and the European Free Trade Association concluded a landmark accord to create a free trade zone of 19 nations by 1993.

f you see me limping around town for the next few days I have a very good excuse. Last weekend the Ashburton District Council and their Welcoming Communities project put on a futsal tournament at the EA Networks Centre. For the uninitiated (as I was), futsal is indoor football, but with fewer rules. I was one of the “celebrities” drafted in to play against New Zealand grade football players. Guys literally half my age and about ten times my skill level (my only moment of prior football glory being a solitary goal playing for Westside against Tinwald when I was 8). Needless to say, despite my enthusiasm, I came off second best. Putting my injury (and moderate embarrassment) aside, it was a fantastic event, aimed at welcoming our newcomers and celebrating the rich diversity we have in our district. Without events like these, the overall Welcoming Communities project, and groups like the Mid Canterbury Newcomers’ Network, it can be easy for many of us to forget how hard it can be

for people to integrate into our community. When they do, they become integral parts of our district, adding colour, vibrancy, sounds and flavours through events like Multi Cultural Bite. Then there’s the blunter reality. The Ashburton District’s unemployment rate has fallen to somewhere just under 2 per cent. It’s about as low as it can go. In many industries we now effectively have negative unemployment, where employers are unable to find workers. Where some years ago there would legitimately be the call to put New Zealanders at the front of the queue when it comes to employment, today there simply isn’t a large pool of Kiwis available to work. When National left Government the economy nationwide

was creating more than 10,000 jobs each and every month. Although that’s now fallen under the new Government, to around 4,000, unemployment across most of the South Island is at record lows. It’s why as your local Member of Parliament I’ve been working to help new New Zealanders, and their employers, to let them stay in our district to work. Since the election there’s been a severe tightening of the rules applied by Immigration New Zealand to rolling visas over. Where previously applications would be approved within a matter of weeks, now they are taking months, and many more are being declined. It means we’re sending people home who in some cases have lived in our district for years, as valued employees and volunteers in our community. In recent months I and my office have assisted 110 people with immigration cases. We’ve had many successes, but not enough. Three times I’ve had to make a direct plea to the Minister. It shouldn’t take the intervention of the local Member of

Parliament to do that. With effectively a zero unemployment rate, dozens of employers I’ve spoken to are carrying vacancies, delaying their expansion and the further growth of our district. To not only clamp down on new people coming, but to send people away who are already here, will damage our economy. It’s why I’ll continue to argue for more a welcoming approach to newcomers, whether they come from other parts of New Zealand, or other parts of the world. I’ll advocate to Immigration New Zealand, and if need be the Minister, to ensure people can stay in this community they’ve made home. And I’ll push at every opportunity the message that they are welcome here in Ashburton, even if that does result in the occasional injury.

like this, he isn’t the only one I feel for. Sport is a part of our culture, it enhances our wellbeing. The sense of belonging to a club is powerful. It saddens me to think our younger generation don’t care for this or may never experience that

sense of belonging. When I speak of clubs, that captures sport, music, arts, anything! Hats off to all those who are trying their best to keep all clubs running, who offer a place of community and wellbeing for young and old. Congrats to Jeff on a stellar

■ FRANCE

Canal boats on the canal du Midi in France.

Canal du Midi: Pure France I

t’s perhaps the most quintessential of New Zealand summer experiences – a holiday bach in a small community by the beach. Just the one fish and chip shop, which doubles as the convenience store, jandals, Frujus, and the nearest mall or movie theatre more than an hour’s drive away. To find that level of authenticity in a foreign country, on the other side of the world, is challenging. Without the local and generational knowledge, avoiding tourist traps and finding the genuine culture can be impossible. But a Locaboat cruise down France’s canal du Midi delivered just that. For five days on a self-drive canal boat, we moored in the smallest of French towns, and saw the boulangeries, the vineyards, and the countryside away from the glitz of the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Versailles. We travelled about 50km from our starting point at Argens Minervois to Beziers and back,

People who spoke English were rare, but our efforts at French were welcomed warmly, although perhaps with a few smiles at our less-than-successful attempts. With bikes on board, our days involved riding a couple of kilometres inland to sleepy towns on food missions – often buying whatever we could find, at whatever shop was open. One night we arrived in a tiny village, Paraza, having exhausted all baguette and fromage supplies on board, and having put very little thought into what might be for dinner. With no shops to be seen, let alone open, we stumbled across what must have been the only restaurant in town. It wasn’t technically open, but the sole waiter told us it was hosting a

tapas evening for people in the village and there was room for us to join in. So we did. We spent the evening mingling with the locals, sampling whatever food was brought to us, and drinking wine made in the neighbouring village. With not a chain store in sight, nothing in these villages was recognisable, emphasising their special character and how far away we felt from the rest of the world. In another canal-side hamlet, Le Somail, we pulled up alongside a permanently docked boat selling fresh bread and other groceries. We scrambled on to land to see an artist surrounded by a flock of ducks, painting just metres from the water outside his studio. After wandering around his

gallery, we crossed a stone bridge to find a massive, two-storey second-hand and antique bookstore that appeared more like a library from the Middle Ages. Le Trouve Tout du Livre, it turns out, is world famous, and for anyone wanting to visit, please note: there is an English section. The canal is not somewhere you would take a dip voluntarily, but we were determined to find a spot for a swim on this holiday. Our persistent efforts in the local tongue eventually paid off when a local shopkeeper pointed us in the direction of a swimming hole, running below the canal. Leaving the boat tied up above, we wandered down a bank, struggled past the waist-high “Oh God, that’s quite a bit colder than I thought” moment, before taking the plunge, then spending

the afternoon in the river. Our trip coincided with the end of summer, and though the canal remained popular, it was surprisingly uncrowded. While we squeezed past boats at some points along the journey, there were stretches with not a boat in sight, just us cruising along beneath overhanging trees and past empty landscapes. Locks in townships were often full to capacity, but some 50m down the canal, we would find ourselves entirely alone. Perhaps, bizarrely, it was on a night when we were moored in such a spot, sitting on the deck as the sun dropped away and listening to the nothing, that I felt most immersed in French culture. The smell of barbecues, sea swims, and the other children I met are a big part of my childhood memories of Kiwi beach bach holidays, but late sun and the quietness of night is what I remember most. Our night on the Canal du Midi seemed to be the French edition of that. - NZME

Jason Taumalolo believes Tonga has set a precedent for international league – and they can be the benchmark for other smaller nations to follow. Tonga looked short of a gallop on Saturday night, lost halfback Ata Hingano to a shoulder injury and struggled with errors and discipline all match, but still proved more than competitive against the World Champions. The final score of 34-16 was a reflection of Australia’s superiority, particularly in the first half, but Tonga accquitted themselves well. They also provided another wonderful league occasion in this country, just like the sold out matches in Hamilton and Auckland at last year’s World Cup. “We are a stepping stone of what can happen in international rugby league in terms of being more proactive to get the ball rolling to get more games and obviously having players come back to represent Tonga,” said Taumalolo. “Other countries can take a bit from us. We were just fortumate we had people working behind the scenes to try and make the game happen. “Hopefully international rugby league can grow from that, not just us but other small nations can get more games too. Taumalolo arguably started the Tongan revolution last year – with his late switch from the Kiwis back to Tonga – which has been the catalyst for the rise of the Pacific team. - NZME

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

A lesson in atmosphere By Christopher reive Isn’t it incredible just what a few wins at the representative level can do for a nation? Mate Ma’a Tonga was once among the minnows of world rugby league. But on the back of their best ever world cup campaign in 2017, they’ve gone from a guaranteed win for tier one nations to stadium fillers. For a long time, a tier two nation had never beaten a tier one side. Then the Kiwis lost to both Fiji and Tonga at the World Cup and history was made. The Tongan side in particular

left a distinct imprint on the landscape of the game with their run to the semi-finals, which was clear at Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday night. A week ago, the Kiwis faced the Australians at the same venue in front of a stadium that was about three quarters full, and that’s probably a generous guess. But with Tonga on the bill, tickets were sold out before the gates opened. And when the gates did open, they were flooded by a sea of red. Some staff around the ground said they saw Tongan fans arriving as early as nine o’clock in the

morning in anticipation of the match. Sure the game was played at a neutral venue, but there was no doubting who the home team was. Among the sold out crowd of 26,214, you had your work cut out for you to spy someone not wearing red. If ever there was an opportunity to experience what a home field advantage was supposed to feel like, this was it. Outside of perhaps All Blacks matches, this was an atmosphere you simply do not get at New Zealand sporting events. For the full 80 minutes of the

match, the Tongan supporters were in full voice. The stadium came to life whenever a call went their way, and erupted when they put points on the board. In the down moments, they broke out in songs – with the vast majority of the crowd lending their voice. Try belting out a tune during a New Zealand sporting fixture and someone else in the crowd is bound to tell you to shut your mouth. Either that or you’ll find a sneaky video of yourself singing your heart out do the rounds on social media.

This wasn’t simply going to a footy match to catch the game and head back home. This was over 20,000 people showing up to visually and vocally support the team and their nation in any possible way. And it didn’t matter that their team put on an average performance, the crowd were behind them until the final hooter. For those 26,214 people at the ground – regardless of where they were from or who they were supporting – this was something special to be a part of. Take note, New Zealand. This is how it’s done. - NZME

In brief Free entry for final In an unprecedented move, entry to the Auckland v Canterbury provincial rugby final at Eden Park next Saturday will be free. The Mitre 10 Cup Premiership match, which is at the earlier than scheduled time of 4.05pm because the All Blacks play Australia in Yokohama at 7pm, is hoped to attract a big crowd. Auckland made the final beating Wellington 38-17 in their semi-final while Canterbury got there by upsetting neighbour Tasman 21-16 on Friday night. - NZME

Season over for Hammers By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s 2018 Heartland rugby championship campaign is over after they were beaten 3424 by Horowhenua-Kapiti 34-24 in their Lochore Cup semi-final in Levin on Saturday. With their season on the line Mid Canterbury started the stronger of the two sides in the battle for a spot in the competition’s second tier (fifth to eighth on the table) final, roaring out of the gates and catching the hosts off guard to lead 17-0 after 20 minutes. But the home side came back at them late in the half and scored two tries of their own to trail by just three at the break, 17-13. A Horowhenua-Kapiti try early in the second half put the home side in front for the first time, before a converted Mid Canterbury try followed by a HorowhenuaKapiti penalty saw the two sides draw level at 24-all with 20 minutes to go. A further penalty to the home side put them out to 27-24, and a try then extended that lead to 3424 with around 10 minutes to go, and despite the best efforts of the Hammers that was how it stayed. It wasn’t the way that Mid Canterbury had hoped to mark Seta Koroitamana and Eric Duff’s 50th matches, and Dan Fransen and Tom Hanham-Carter’s blazer games, although Koroitamana did mark the occasion by getting his name on the scorecard as the scorer of one of Mid Canterbury’s three tries. The other two were scored by flying Zimbabwean winger Brian Matoramusha, who finished as the side’s top try-scorer for the season with nine tries to his name.

Mid Canterbury coach Sean Carter said while it was disappointing the season had come to an end a week earlier than hoped, and in the Lochore Cup rather than the Meads Cup (top four) as had been the goal at the start of the season, he was pleased with what his side produced on Saturday. “The guys put it all out there, so I couldn’t have asked for any more. It wasn’t as if they didn’t give it a go,” Carter said. “They started really, really well and just little mistakes and lack of patience and finishing off allowed them (Horowhenua-Kapiti) back into the game before half time.” Mid Canterbury had the wind

at their backs in the first half, and three points just wasn’t enough of a lead heading into the second half where the home side would benefit from the wind, Carter said. Mid Canterbury hung in there and did produce some opportunities in the second half, but again the finishing was lacking. Carter said Mid Canterbury showed more continuity and got through a lot more phases, but it was that patience that let them down, and that had been the story of the season in a way. “It was disappointing not to get through to a final, but it was pleasing to see where they had progressed from that Buller game. “If they had lost and played like

they did against Buller, it would have been pretty disappointing to be honest,” Carter said. He said the 37-19 loss to Buller in Westport in round seven was the low point of the season. But in most of the other games, there had been plenty of little wins scattered through the 80 minutes, even if the scoreboard wasn’t in Mid Canterbury’s favour at the end. And when you had a relatively new and inexperienced group like Carter and co-coaches Jason Rickard and Dale Palmer did this year, you took those little wins. Like many in the squad, he was keen to come back and give it another shot next year. There was unfinished business to attend to. “At the end of the day you have to stand up to the board and answer their questions, and I’m sure they will have a few, and rightfully so,” Carter said. There were things he’d do differently if he had his time over, but he’d just taken a new-look squad through a competition where anyone could have beaten anyone on their day – as showcased by Wanganui’s shock Meads Cup semi-final loss to Thames Valley on Saturday – and Mid Canterbury’s players would be better for it. “If you bring that same group in again next year they will be wiser, and mentally tougher and resilient when we come into those tighter games after having experienced this year,” Carter said. Horowhenua-Kapiti will now play Wairarapa Bush in the Lochore Cup final this weekend, while South Canterbury were the sole surviving South Island side and the red-hot favourites to take out the Meads Cup when they hosted Thames Valley in Timaru in the final on Saturday.

Kendra Cocksedge has shone for Canterbury on their way to a second straight Farah Palmer Cup title. The Black Ferns halfback finished with 27 points for the red and blacks in their 52-29 thrashing of Counties Manukau in the final in Christchurch. Canterbury skipper Stephanie Te Ohaere-Fox praised Cocksedge’s outstanding contribution to the help them to another Premiership title. “Her knowledge of the game, kicking to right space, she was on-point,” Te Ohaere-Fox said after the game. - NZME

Pocock lauds Cheika Fresh from his resounding endorsement from the Rugby Australia board, Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has received the ultimate backing from the country’s premier player. Runaway John Eales Medal winner David Pocock insists Cheika not only deserves to remain at the helm until after next year’s World Cup but his position should never even have been questioned despite Australia winning only three from nine Tests so far in 2018. “I wasn’t even aware it was up for discussion,” Pocock said when asked if it was a relief Cheika’s job was declared safe. - AAP

Celtics knock over Knicks Jayson Tatum had 24 points and 14 rebounds, and the Boston Celtics withstood his careless foul with 1.9 seconds left to beat the New York Knicks 103-101 yesterday. Meanwhile JJ Redick hit a 3-pointer with 17 seconds left to lift the 76ers over the Magic. Redick had his best game since moving to Philadelphia’s bench at the start of the season, scoring 31 points on 10-of-20 shooting, including eight 3-pointers. Kyle Lowry delivered 28 points and 12 assists Saturday night to help the Raptors improve to 3-0 with a victory over the Wizards, and Kemba Walker scored 39 points, including the game-winning free throw with a half-second left, and the Hornets spoiled Dwyane Wade’s final home opener by topping the Heat 113-112. - AP

Kings crush Breakers A relieved Sydney Kings have claimed their first win of the NBL season as Andrew Bogut inspired a 101-78 thrashing of the New Zealand Breakers in Auckland. Former NBA centre Bogut ruled the paint and his team-mates were also in sync as they dominated their hosts who were stagnant at both ends of the court. Their defensive ploy to focus on Corey Webster worked perfectly. The Breakers were left to digest an unwarranted record, having recorded four straight losses at Spark Arena for the first time. - AAP

In brief Starc out for T20s Mitchell Starc appears unlikely to be risked during Australia’s T20 series against Pakistan after having tests on his injured hamstring. The left-arm quick battled tightness in his left hamstring and was used sparingly during the second test in Abu Dhabi, which Pakistan won to clinch a 1-0 series victory. Starc had precautionary scans on Friday and is understood to have avoided any serious damage. Australia will play three T20s against Pakistan starting in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday before the final two games are played in Dubai. - AAP

Rematch for Millman John Millman may get the chance to cap his career-best season with a second shock win over Roger Federer in eight weeks, this time on the all-time great’s home court. At age 29, Millman is enjoying his best world ranking at No.33, having captured worldwide attention by ousting Federer in the US Open fourth round early last month. Now the Australian is drawn to meet the winner of 20 grand slam singles titles again in the second round of the Swiss Indoor tournament in Basel this week. That would be some feat, with Millman making his Swiss Indoors debut while Federer is chasing a ninth title. - AAP

■ CRICKET

Tough start for AshColl Ashburton College’s first XI cricket side made a less than ideal start to their Canterbury secondary schools’ division two competition on Saturday. The home side lost the toss ahead of the game against St Thomas of Canterbury at the Ashburton Domain and were sent in to bat, which proved to be the right move on the visitors’ behalf. On a pitch that hadn’t been

used yet this summer, the Ashburton College side struggled to gain momentum. Tom Middleton opened the batting and made a solid 22, but the only other batsman to reach double figures was Will Copland with 13, as their side struggled through to 77 all out off 34.3 overs. Will Andrews and Harry Mayo took three wickets each for St Thomas.

St Thomas then made short work of the runs chase, reaching the target in just 17.3 overs for the loss of one wicket. Mayo opened the batting and scored 22 before Middleton struck and claimed Ashburton College’s only wicket, while Fraser Buckley finished 38 not out. The Ashburton College boys were set to play at home again this weekend against

the Christchurch Boys’ High School third XI, before heading to Christchurch for four away games on the trot. Saturday’s match was round two of the competition and while Ashburton College had deferred their first-round game as they only got back to New Zealand after a preseason tour to Australia the day before the game, the round ended up being a washout anyway.

New Zealand doubles player Marcus Daniell will chase his fourth ATP title and first with Dutch partner Wesley Koolhof at the Stockholm Open. Daniell and Koolhof are through to the final of the ATP 250 tournament after a tight 7-6 (5) 7-6 (7) win over the French pair of Julien Benneteau and Lucas Pouille in 1 hour 43. Daniell and Koolhof saved two set points in the first set and were helped by their opponents serving 8 double faults. Both pairs created numerous break points throughout the encounter with Daniell and Koolhof converting 2 of 10 and their opponents 2 of 8. - NZME

Invictus giant fights tears If it wasn’t for Prince Harry Invictus warrior Damien Irish says he’d still be sitting on the couch at home. Irish was left with post traumatic stress disorder after his time serving in East Timor. “I’d still be sitting on the lounge today if it wasn’t for these games and my mates up in Townsville telling me to put my name down and have a go,” Irish said yesterday. “And now I’m wearing the Australian colours.” - AAP

Northern Districts throw a spanner in the works A top New Zealand cricket team wanted to pay its female players like its male ones. New Zealand Cricket said: “Not so fast.” Northern Districts Cricket was set to announce earlier this month that it would give its women cricketers equal pay during this summer’s domestic 20-20 doubleheaders - a rate of $575 a game. It had gone as far as preparing a press release about it, before New Zealand Cricket stepped in.

The Weekend Herald understands that a senior NZC staffer told Northern Districts that the move was not sustainable. It would affect ongoing negotiations for a Memorandum of Understanding covering women’s cricket between the national body and the six major associations, of which Northern Districts is one. A source in the domestic game said it had the potential to be a PR disaster.

“NZC is a $60 million business however they refuse to stump up money to pay domestic women players anything despite the Australian and English players getting paid fairly,” the source said. “This is the first time there will be a direct comparison made between men and women – same day, same ground, same game but women get paid nothing. Clearly there are issues here which NZC have not thought through, think-

ing they were doing the women’s game a favour by including them in the first place.” NZC spokesman Richard Boock said the organisation was in the preliminary stages of setting up terms of reference for the new women’s MoU, which was likely to cover all professional women’s cricket in New Zealand “and usher in an exciting new era for women’s cricket in general”. “While there probably have

been conversations around how ND’s initiative could affect this, NZC would never challenge the autonomy of major associations, or their right to make their own decisions.” Boock said NZC was working on “sustainable” change, including more investment in highperformance and grassroots programmes, and increasing the number of women in governance positions. - NZME

In brief

■ ASHBURTON

Star has point to prove Leading North Island pacer Star Galleria is out to tick off a technicality in today’s Ashburton Flying Stakes. The five-year-old is yet to prove that distance is no barrier ahead of today’s 2400m feature or next month’s 3200m New Zealand Cup. The Steven Reid-trained pacer has never won past 2200m in 12 career victories. The thought that the five-yearold can not cope with an extended trip has not entered the New Zealand Cup conversation yet. His second placing behind Eamon Maguire in last season’s group 1 New Zealand Messenger Championship over 2700m would have alleviated most punters’ concerns about Star Galleria’s staying prowess. And it is not a statistic that is concerning his driver, Tony Herlihy, ahead of his assignments. Star Galleria’s fighting third in the 3000m Methven Cup was enough to give the champion reinsman confidence that horse’s lack of winning staying form was just an anomaly. “I was pleased with the way he stuck at it over 3000m the other day, he stuck to his guns.

Tony Herlihy “We did fair bit early, they did burn pretty quick early and so long as he has come forward from that is the main thing.” “Even though he got a bit tired late he stuck to it, so that is always good.” “And on the grass, that is probably a bit heavier going with the all weather.” “He had a wee hiccup when he went down to the South Island too, but he seemed good.” “I think with the right run [over 3200m] he will be very competitive.” Star Galleria meets a starstudded in today’s $50,000 Gr.2

feature at Ashburton. He opened an equal thirdfavourite with TAB bookmakers with Eamon Maguire. Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen’s pair of Ultimate Machete and Dream About Me head the market. Ultimate Machete opened the race favourite despite missing a placing in both of his returning runs. Purdon said he was pleased with the horse’s Methven Cup run and he expected Ultimate Machete to be improved for Monday’s 2400m contest. Dream About Me comes in to

the event after wining the Hannon Memorial and the Canterbury Classic in nail-biting finishes. Getting away from the tricky standing start spot of barrier one will be key to her chances of winning a hat-trick of New Zealand Cup lead-up races. Fifth favourite A G’s White Socks will attempt to get his spring campaign back on track after he was sensationally scratched from the Methven Cup. The Greg and Nina Hoped trained five-year-old has since been treated for a joint issue. - NZHN

Guineas favourite shows class at Ashburton North Island raider Xpression underlined why she is the favourite to take out next month’s Gr.1 Gavelhouse.com New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) when she handed out a beating to her age group rivals at Ashburton on Saturday. The stylish Showcasing filly was heavily favoured to take out the Gr.3 Barneswood Farm Stakes (1400m) and gave her supporters little cause for concern throughout the contest. Regular rider Sam Collett had

a virtual stranglehold on her charge as she looped the field on the point of the turn to issue her challenge before dashing clear to defeat Our Flying Ace with Fire Show battling on gamely for third. Co-trainer Grant Cullen, who prepares the filly with Guy Lowry from their Hastings base, was satisfied with the win as he looked ahead to a greater challenge at Riccarton next month. “It was a nice ride as she got a nice track into the race,” he said.

“The only concern was travelling so far from home but she’s thrived since she has been here so it was fantastic to see her come through today. “She will be based here now and won’t race again between now and the Guineas. “We have no real set plans but might look at a jump-out if she thrives but failing that it will be straight into the Guineas.” TAB bookmakers reacted quickly to the win, with Xpression now at a $2.80 quote to win

the fillies feature at Riccarton on November 17 from Melt at $4 while today’s impressive Rotorua winner Media Sensation has shortened to $8 in the Fixed Odds market. Runner-up Our Flying Ace has also tightened in the market for the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) on November 10 with his $6 quote placing him on the second line of betting behind race favourite Madison County at $2.80. – NZME

Otaki abandoned Yesterday’s Otaki race meeting was abandoned due to two horses slipping around the 800m point during Race 3. Stipendiary Steward Neil Goodwin made the announcement after a track inspection was conducted following the race. “It is most unfortunate for the club as the track looked to be in perfect condition,” he said. “The stewards inspected it with the trainer’s representative and senior riders and we had no hesitation in saying safety comes first and abandoned the meeting.” - NZME

Guineas tightrope Talented three-year-old Media Sensation furthered her preparation for a tilt at the Gr.1 Gavelhouse. com New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton next month when she downed her age-group rivals over 1400m at Rotorua on Saturday. The Peter and Dawn Williams prepared filly had been unbeaten in two starts as a two-year-old but an interrupted preparation saw her colours lowered for the first time when she opened her new campaign at Tauranga earlier in the month. The defeat had cast some doubt on her Riccarton aspirations however confidence was restored on the weekend after the filly came from well back in the field to claim race favourite Bocce. - NZME

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

WordWheel

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Start with you. Don’t even give it a second thought. If you’re not compassionate and kindhearted toward yourself, you’ll resent whatever generosity you give others. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Every communication requires interpretation, and there’s always a little something lost in the translation. However, today you’ll get as close to pure communication as is humanly possible. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): There are many ways to see it. The first one that comes to mind may put you in a down position, as if something was happening to you instead of for you. Step back. How many other ways can you see it? CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Variety will serve you well in all things, especially variety of thought. One way of thinking gets as boring as eating only one food or hearing the same song on repeat. Welcome those who challenge your mindset. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Your compassion and sensitivity will be put to the test. Keep in mind that people often try to hide discomfort, and those who don’t feel well are using a lot of energy to just to do the baseline normal things. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The advice you get today will be like something you buy at a high-end store. The quality may be there, but if you try it on and it doesn’t fit, the quality is beside the point. Return it and try something else. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): What do you think about your behaviour? You haven’t stopped to consider this in a while, but it matters. Give yourself the room to reflect and regroup. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Everyone is toting a pocket full of personal prejudice. Their thought processes have little to do with you, and a lot to do with what’s in that pocket. So there’s no use worrying what they think of you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Today, it’s not absolutely clear what is true and what isn’t, so maybe ponder other things, for instance, who you want to be in the world and what you would need to believe to get there. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Maybe those who are supposed to be supporting you do not, in fact, have what you need. These things happen, and you can’t let it stop you. Hold onto hope and look elsewhere. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Some say love makes the world go round; others credit misunderstanding with the rotation. As for you, it’s still unclear which you’re chasing after today, love or a misunderstanding about love. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): People took from you. What they took they gave. You’re stronger for dealing with weakness, richer for learning how to support yourself when they didn’t, and you love truer because you know the difference.

Tech Old Dogs inflicted the first loss of the season upon the Tech Stags on Saturday’s second day of the Mid Canterbury Cricket open grade T20 competition. But despite the loss, the Stags were still shaping up to be the early form team this season, and despite having the bye in the fifth and final round this coming Saturday were still likely to be one of two teams to fight it out for the T20 title. The Tech Stags beat Methven in their other game on Saturday, leaving them with three wins and a loss to their name and heading into the final round it was Lauriston who had the next best record

from the opening two days, with two wins and a loss. Lauriston had the bye in the first game on Saturday and faced Coldstream in the afternoon’s second game, where they ran rampant. Coldstream batted first and made a more than respectable total of 141/5 off their 20 overs, with Sean Mulligan top scoring with 40, Richard Print adding 29, and Sanjay Undre 26, while for Lauriston Matt Pawsey took 2/27. In reply, Lauriston were brutal, racing through to 145/2 off just 11.1 overs to claim victory. Opening batsman Alex Hooper did the bulk of the damage, smashing nine sixes and six fours on his way to an unbeaten 85.

Meanwhile, the Tech Stags picked up where they left off on day one, adding a six-wicket win over Methven to the two wins they picked up on opening day. Methven batted first and were all out for 144 in the last over, with Matt Winter top scoring with 81 and Matt Gorman adding 25, while William McKee followed up his half century and century with the bat on day one with a fivewicket bag with the ball this week. He finished with the impressive figures of 5/7. The Stags then chased the total down for the loss of just four wickets, with Jason Morrison top scoring with 86 not out and Des Kruger scoring 36. In game two though, the Stags’

fine winning run came to the narrowest of ends, going down to the Tech Old Dogs by just three runs. The Old Dogs, a team formed just for the T20 phase of the season, batted first and were 124 all out off 19.5 overs. David Morrison top scored for the Old Dogs with 32, while BJ Binnie added 30, and Matt Miller was 20 not out at the end. In reply, Jason Morrison got the Stags’ reply off to a good start with 37 at the top of the order, and Morgan Gallagher chimed in with 25 at nine, but the side lost their final wicket on the first ball of the final over when they were three runs shy of the target. In the day’s other game Cold-

stream picked up their first win of the competition, beating the Tech Old Dogs by six wickets. The Old Dogs batted first and were all out for a neat 100 in 15.3 overs, with Danny Hurley top scoring with 39, and Andrew Bennett taking three wickets for Coldstream. In reply Coldstream reached the target for the loss of six wickets, with Jono Print 30 not out at the end and Bo Houston chiming in with 21. This Saturday the final round will see Lauriston play the Tech Old Dogs, and Methven play Coldstream at the Ashburton Domain at midday, before the top two teams square off in the final at 3pm.
