armers might be resilient creatures, the nature of the business they’re in makes them that way, they cope.

But when you’re forced to watch a family business, that’s been nearly 60 years in the making, destroyed almost overnight it breaks your heart, sears your soul.

Nothing could have prepared this country’s dairy farmers for the devastating impact of mycoplasma bovis, Ashburton farmer Frank Peters says. He’s been dealing with the disease since March. He’s still dealing with it. It’s still breaking his heart.

The death toll on his farm is counted in 2000 cows and young stock. Most were healthy, M. bovis free.

They were his life’s work and

you can’t put a price on that. Yes, there’s financial compensation, but at the end of the day you can’t compensate for emotional strain, you can’t compensate for the loss of genetics that come with generations of careful husbandry, he said.

He’s not scared to admit M. bovis has brought him to his knees. He’s cried on national television and he’s not ashamed of that. Watching his calves take a one-way trip to the works was devastating.

It’s been a year from hell, but Peters is not bitter, he doesn’t bear a grudge against the person who introduced the disease to New Zealand. There’s no future in that. He’s a different man today to the man he was when M. bovis arrived in New Zealand but he knows there’s life after the disease.

Emotional stress is losing a herd and your whole life’s work. You can’t put a value on that and money can’t fix it – FRANK PETERS

Milestone day for CBD streetscape

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The long overdue revitalisation of Ashburton’s CBD streetscape has moved a giant step closer with a scheme plan approved and a commitment made for design work to begin.

Abley transportation engineer Jeanette Ward this week updated Ashburton District councillors on a plan that will see Ashburton’s tired streetscape progressively modernised and upgraded.

Parking and renewal options were developed and put out for public consultation and a hearing was held in late July to consider submissions.

The project was now ready to move to the detailed design stage, and it was on target for tender documents for this work to be ready by Christmas, Ward said.

“This is a milestone for this project,” she said.

Currently there are 252 car park spaces in the central town, but the redevelopment will see 30 of these lost to make way for kerb buildouts and landscaping at several intersections. The plans take into account the need for an assisted patient drop-off area for a new health centre to be built as part of the Eastfield development.

The redevelopment plan includes a reduced speed zone, from 50km/h down to 30km/hh in the inner town.

Paid parking will disappear and in-ground sensors will be installed on street side parking spaces.

One of the most significant changes will involve a complete rebuild of Tancred and Burnett streets between East and Cass streets. These will be one way traffic only – east bound on Tancred and west bound on Burnett and both streets will have angle

parking on one side and parallel parking on the other. Both streets will have wider footpaths on both sides to allow more space for walking, outdoor dining and street furniture and landscaping.

East Street will also have a wider footpath on the eastern side and a footpath will be created on the west side adjacent to parking spaces.

The roundabout at Moore and Cass streets will be retained but it will have a mountable area created to allow larger vehicles to travel through by mounting one wheel on this area.

Vehicles longer than 11.5 metres cannot currently turn from Moore into Cass Street, and that would not change, Ward said.

“Large vehicles and agricultural vehicles are generally travelling straight down Moore Street and they’ll still be able to do this.”

Baring Square east has not been included in the development plans. Plans for this area will be developed once the new civic administration centre and library are built.

A survey has been undertaken of trees in the town centre to assess their health and to consider how they can be protected during the construction stage of the project.

Her work had looked at the broader concept from a traffic perspective, but design work would start to see details filled in on both underground work and around plantings, pavings, street furniture and the overall feel and style of the town centre, Ward said.

“There’s still a lot of detail to come your way and councillors will have input into those design ideas. There are still multiple stages of the project to go; this is just the end of the beginning.”

They may have just 35 students – but when it comes to theatre, Chertsey School certainly don’t do things by halves.

After months of learning and

preparation, students delivered their first production in years to a crowd of 110 people on Thursday night, telling the story of Maui & the Sun. Principal Sarah Coard said the production was the culmination

Boulevard Day back on Monday

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

For around four decades each South Canterbury Anniversary Day, East Street has buzzed with the sights and sounds of Boulevard Day. And there will be no shortage of spectacles, shops, activities and foodie delights when it rolls around again on Monday, with up to 120 stalls expected.

This year’s theme is mad hats and will feature a large assortment of new offerings – from a

Geraldine cheese company to an outdoor furniture retailer – as well as all the old favourites, Ashburton retailers’ spokesman Bob McDonald said.

Around 60 per cent of stallholders who have booked sites are local, and visitors can expect to hear musical entertainment from a number of Ashburton groups and bands.

Stalls will be setting up from 6am, McDonald said, and East Street will be closed to traffic from around 8.30am.

Boulevard Day officially kicks off at 9am and runs until 5.30pm.

“The morning will be the time to be there if you want the early bargains,” McDonald said.

The event will be held rain or shine.

Boulevard Day also coincides with the first day of Bookarama, which will be held in the Ashburton Sports Hall on Tancred Street and run for a week.

Desert test for extreme runner

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury dairy farmer Greg Roadley is no stranger to pain. He actually chases it.

The 44-year-old is off on Thursday for another extreme sporting adventure in the shape of a sevenday, 250km footrace across the Atacama Desert in Chile.

The desert is the driest place on the planet, some 50 times drier than California’s Death Valley, and the Atacama Crossing follows other tough adventures Roadley has ticked off – the 10-day GodZone adventure race in wet Fiordland earlier this year, a brutal 560km race across the Arctic Circle last year, six marathons in six days in the Sahara Desert in 2016 and three earlier Coast to Coasts.

The Atacama features four daily marathons, followed by an 80km leg and then a comparatively easy final 10km run to the finish.

Roadley and his wife Rachel left the country yesterday for South America, where the couple will spend a week acclimatising before the footrace starts on September 30.

Rachel, along with other family and friends, will be able to keep track of Roadley’s progress via a GPS tracker.

The 100 or so competitors must carry all the food and equipment they will need for the duration of the race; organisers will supply only tents to sleep in at night and water.

Roadley has used his talents for logistics to work out what equipment and clothing he will need and how many calories he will mow through against the weight he will carry in a small backpack.

With daytime temperatures as high as 40°C and nights down to zero, he has settled on a lightweight sleeping bag and thermal jacket, light running gear and plenty of sunscreen.

His backpack will be packed with freeze dried scrambled eggs and meat meals, pork scratchings, liquorice and chocolate. It will weigh 9kg when he sets off on day one.

“It’s no gastronomic trip, it’s about maximum calories.”

He is prepared for the blisters

that will inevitably come. There is no dressing that will survive the pounding his feet will endure so he has packed a needle and pop them … and just suck up the pain.

Roadley said the entire race was being run at altitude, though it should present few problems.

The start line was at 3200m above sea level and the finish at 2500m (about the same as the summit of Mt Hutt).

The Dorie farmer has spent many hours at the beach at the end of Winters Road, where he lives, running with a laden backpack past seals and the occasional dolphin out at sea.

He has been putting extra work into improving core strength and says his body will churn through at least 3200 calories a day. He will be running on his body’s reserves come day seven.

Dehydration will be a major

concern with athletes needing to take on life-sustaining volumes without flushing out essential salts and electrolytes.

It is a delicate balancing act and a mistake could affect his health to the point on-course medics could yank his race number.

Roadley said the extreme sporting events that have captured his mind are often in remote, challenging and beautiful places and presented interesting travel des-

tinations – even if they did involve pain.

The Atacama features famous salt flats, colonies of pink flamingos, sacred Incan sites and huge sand dunes and is considered the archaeological jewel of Chile’s rainless plateau.

Roadley is also hoping to enjoy some of the area’s famous hospitality, with Rachel and daughter Mia, after he crosses the finish line in San Pedro.

Struggling to cope with M.bov F

rank Peters is used to dealing with the daily stress of farming.

Dairy farming comes with many challenges and the Ashburton farmer is no different from other farmers who develop a resilience to get through them.

But this ability to bend to farming’s many twists and turns never prepared him for the emotional stress of learning that his prized herd had been infected with mycoplasma bovis and then dealing with the heart breaking consequences.

Levelands Ltd, owned by Frank and wife Dianne and managed by their son and daughter-in-law, was tested for the cattle disease on March 29. About a fortnight later the results showed the single cow that sent them “to the wall’’ had the disease.

By the time the property is completely “depopulated’’ all 2000 of their cows and young stock will have been put to their death. The tragedy is that so far only a few more animals have been found with the disease.

Leading up to that first shock Peters was thinking of reducing his dairying workload and spending more time fishing. Mycoplasma bovis put paid to that.

For him one of the hardest aspects of dealing with the trauma was trying to help his family when he was struggling emotionally as much as them.

“I have never been as stressed.

It’s not the financial stress because we have lived with that every day and it’s not daily stress because we deal with the weather and many other challenges. It’s the emotional stress.

“Emotional stress is losing a herd and your whole life’s work.

You can’t put a value on that and money can’t fix it. Consequently, you just have to live with it for the rest of your life.

“Money you can bank on, the weather will come right, but emotionally you can’t fix it. Hopefully time will heal it but it can never bring back a herd of 55 years in the making.’’

His father started the herd in 1964 and decades of breeding had

Ashburton farmer Frank Peters knows all about the emotional strain of dealing with a dairy farm infected by mycoplasma bovis, writes Tim Cronshaw.

For farmer Frank Peters the mycoplasma bovis outbreak on his farm has taken a huge emotional toll.

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN refined it to a high performing operation. The big holstein friesian cows had United States and Dutch bloodlines and the winter milkers averaged 550 to 600 kilograms of milksolids a year and the spring calving cows 520 to 540kg under a high input feeding system.

That was lost when the main herd and young stock was despatched to the freezing works with the winter milkers to suffer the same fate.

Everyone deals with stress differently and anger, anxiety, black humour and talking to friends and family are some of the many coping mechanisms.

For Peters, curiously, the best relief for him has been talking about his plight, and the position of other farmers, through the media.

City folks probably first got an insight of the pain that farmers were feeling when he broke down in tears on national television. Watching his calves going

on a one-way trip to the works, as television cameras rolled, was devastating.

But it was also therapeutic for the 58-year-old.

“For me the best outlet has been working with the press. I can articulate my feelings and I can try to help other people and that’s where I get pleasure – so I can try to make it better or not so bad for other people. I don’t go to Wellington for me – I do it for everybody else so we can move forward.’’

Peters is among a group of about a dozen farmers that travels to the capital to meet with Ministry of Primary Industries leaders and officers to provide disease feedback.

He hopes the family will not be out of pocket from Government compensation for farmers hit by mycoplasma bovis but so many grey areas have him worried.

So far the Peters have received about $820,000 in mid-July for 720 cows from the spring-calving herd

which were sent off the farm in May. They also received $380,000 for the meat value of them from meat processing companies among other compensation paid out. The $100,000 killing charges of $100 to $200 per cow which was removed from their cheque by meat processing companies has also been reimbursed.

In addition, they are owed about $450,000 for young stock, including 180 calves and 200 rising two-yearolds.

While that sounds a lot, the new herd of 700 cows they bought cost them $1.75m plus another $300,000 was spent for another 160 cows to replace the 920 cows which were to be milked this spring.

Furthermore, the Peters have yet to claim for their winter milking herd or their many response costs.

By the time the full cost is tallied the compensation is likely to reach $3m.

Peters and his family appreciate

this money comes from taxpayers. They only want the promised “like-for-like’’ payment so they are neither worse or better off than before.

“Put it this way we won’t be overcompensated. We just want what’s fair.’’

There is no amount of money that can compensate farmers for the emotional strain they have gone through, he says.

His winter milking herd will be depopulated at Christmas. Response costs will include moving feed, transporting cows and the cost of dividing the property into two farms, such as putting in new fencing and gates and installing yards at the run-off block they lease.

The winter herd has been enclosed at their 180ha Buckleys Road farm at Pendarves which has a 50 bale rotary milking shed and is still an infected property. When the herd is culled there will be a 60-day stand-down period and the property will have to be disinfected.

Alongside it is the Chertsey-Kyle Road farm which is no longer infected and the Peters have already bought a herd for this property.

A run-off block at Hakataramea Huts is leased and should come off a restricted property category in September.

Peters will probably end up having one of the lowest response costs for an infected farm.

That’s because they avoided compensation for lost milk earnings as they have two milking sheds and can split their operation into two farms. Their spring herd was dried off before it was culled so there was no loss of earnings and they plan to do the same with their winter milking herd.

He is unlikely to be fully compensated for the loss of his genetics. Other grey areas include having to buy younger cows producing fewer milksolids, delayed GST payments and the breeding value of their former herd not being fully recognised.

Some of the grey areas are unlikely to be resolved until a season has passed, he says.

ovis fallout the single replacement herd of 700 3 to 4-year-old cows they bought will be pushed to do 450kg. Each replacement cow cost $400 more and that will be another conversation with MPI. Peters did not want to buy small lines of 100 “left-over’’ cows and increase the risk of getting the disease again and put a deposit down in April for a large herd but then ran into more bad luck.

“I tried to buy a like-for-like herd and thought I had done it perfectly but then that went bovis on me and we found we couldn’t buy it in June. Finding another herd like that is like pulling teeth so we had to settle for the 700 which were totally different sized cows.’’

Market changes complicate the compensation process and heifer calf prices have increased to $1100 from the $850 value of his calves in June. The Peters will seek compensation for the difference.

They lost 180 calves during the culling, and have only bought 100 replacements so far.

After buying the 700 cows they got their hand slapped for breaching a 24-hour timeframe to send the herd profile details to Nait staff for their records.

They explained the delay was because 29 animals were without approved animal identification tags and 180 of them had tags that didn’t manage the correct number.

The explanation was accepted, but the rules are unchanged.

Peters says ministry officers are doing their best, but there remains “big barbs’’ and some systems need good farmer-practical solutions.

It’s taken longer to get test results than before as more properties become infected. Delays as long as 12 to 13 weeks are a reality for some farmers.

Working through the compensation process is the biggest headache for Peters. Farmers need a deep understanding of the system to do this, but the system and rules are ever-changing.

Peters has stepped up biosecurity on his farm to protect himself from further incursions and put a lot more thought into their operation.

In hindsight, he can see that some good has come from bad even if the balance is heavily weighted to the bad.

Today, he would not accept a fertiliser truck on his property that had come from farms without it being washed.

When a truck goes between their infected Buckleys Road farm to their Chertsey-Kyle Road farm in accordance with rules its tyres and wheel arches are sprayed at entry and departure points and other vehicles receive the same treatment.

Peters says this takes little effort and removes a lot of risk.

Instead of re-infecting the clean Chertsey farm they have two tractors and two feed wagons at each operation. This has come at more expense, but they will be compensated by the Government as part of the disease response.

They have become more cautious farmers. The calves have been shifted to another block where their other son is based at Bankside. If they become spooked by noise or the wind dragging paper across a paddock there is no risk of them running through a fence to an infected area.

permit initially taking 10 to 14 days to process.

Nearly six months will pass before the Buckleys Road farm is declassified.

The winter herd will stay there until mid-December and after it is culled there will be a 60-day standdown which includes the monthlong cleaning and disinfecting of machinery and the dairy shed.

They’ve already bought a new winter milking herd of 400 cows from Taranaki and they are due to arrive on the run-off block in January before going to the

Put it this way we won’t be over-compensated.

We just want what’s fair.

“Everything is a mind challenge at the moment and you are constantly working through scenarios in your head all the time. When Chertsey got revoked that was a bloody relief because it meant no more bloody permits.’’

That was a milestone because when farmers are on a notice of direction or restricted place notice they have to get a permit for any stock movement or any person or vehicle such as a fertiliser spreader entering the farm. The extra paperwork is time consuming with each

Buckleys Road farm in mid to late February to start calving on March 10-15. They will be joined by some “carry-over’’ empty cows from the Chertsey farm which will be milked through before getting back in calf.

While this might sound risky, Peters takes the view that they know the farm is clean and it’s not as hazardous as buying outside cows.

After the struggle of buying a younger herd of lower production the Peters are pleased the new herd matches their previous cows

in milk output at about 550kg per cow.

“I managed to get like-for-like and they will perform for us like the others. There’s not a whole lot of winter herds in New Zealand so we are pleased it’s worked out.’’

Peters has yet to see a clinical case of an animal with the disease, but has seen overseas photographs and the sight is not pleasant.

He didn’t totally agree with the Government’s call to eradicate the disease, but accepts a decision had to be made one way or the other.

He believes the expected 10 per cent loss of milk production could have been reduced if the disease had been managed, based on overseas trends.

After decades of breeding Peters has decided to leave rebuilding the herd to his son and daughter-inlaw.

Before the disease was confirmed the Peters had 2000 cows and young stock freely moving between the Buckleys Road and Chertsey-Kyle Road blocks and run-off block. They calved twice a year with animals swapping from winter to spring calving and vice versa. Mycoplasma bovis put a stop to this and it will take a few years before they can truly return to that cycle.

At least he can see the end is in sight when they can return the farm to a single herd and run both blocks together.

When the disease was first discovered on their property he would talk to the MPI incident manager daily and see him twice a week.

Now he only sees him once a week.

That said, they will likely still be dealing with him through to next March.

After learning his herd had tested positive for the disease Peters informed every farmer who received stock from him and only one neighbour was upset. Their reaction was supportive and there was no “blame game’’ despite half of them having their herds depopulated and the rest waiting for their test results.

MPI has yet to confirm the source of their infection on the Peters’ farm even though they have operated a closed herd with no outside bloodlines the past three years.

Peters could be forgiven for bearing a grudge on the person who introduced the disease to New Zealand.

“Who do I bear a grudge to and why would I? If they did it knowingly and that has yet to be found out I wouldn’t be particularly happy, but there is still several ways it could have arrived. We have our suspicions, but until we can verify it there is no point saying it, at least publicly.’’

Living with mycoplasma bovis is not for the faint-hearted. In reality there is no silver lining except for knowing that there is life after the disease.

“I think we will have a celebration when it’s all over and with us will be some of the AsureQuality and MPI people because over time you do strike a relationship with people.’’

Bookarama all set for opening

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Batten down the hatches, the doors on Bookarama 2018 are about to open and organisers are expecting to be knocked down by people keen to bag a book bargain.

For the past week Ashburton Rotary members, organisers of the annual second hand book fair, have been stacking trestle tables in the Ashburton Sports Hall with thousands of books all looking for new homes.

The book fair started in 1980 and support has grown each year. Now it is recognised as one of the major second hand book fairs in the South Island, attracting hordes of dealers looking for a bargain and readers looking to fill their book shelves.

Convenor David Mead said that each year, Rotary anticipated buyer numbers might drop. They never do and that puts paid to the claim in some quarters that people no longer read hard copy books.

“Each year people are lining up at the door, it’s a bun fight. Every year we expect it to ease up but it doesn’t,” he said.

The quality of books on sale this year is high, with organisers being pretty ruthless with anything that’s not in good condition.

“You can’t expect people to pay

Sorting, stacking and preparing for Monday’s onslaught, Ashburton Rotary members are ready to open the doors on this year’s Bookarama.

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 210918-SN-0079 for anything that’s damaged, even if it’s not a lot of money,” Mead said.

Inflation has never caught up with Bookarama. The opportunity to buy at bargain prices is everywhere and even the ‘specials’ table, where the newest and best books

live has prices that rarely top $5.

While the Sports Hall tables are packed with books, and boxes sit under each table waiting for space up top, the task of sorting and checking never ends. Books continue to be delivered throughout the week, eventually finding their

way onto the sales table.

For puzzle fans there are also thousands of puzzles and jigsaws on offer.

Books still homeless at the end of the week are put in storage until next year’s event.

Since its inception, Bookarama

has raised more than $1.3 million, money that is given back to the community.

Bookarama will open on Monday at 8am, and run until mid-day Saturday at the Sports Hall.

There will be two late nights, Tuesday and Friday until 8.30pm.

■ METHVEN GARDEN CLUB

Fiftieth anniversary marked with style If you wanted to pick up hints and tips for growing a great garden, Methven was the place to be on Thursday, when the village’s garden club members past and present gathered to celebrate their organisation’s 50th birthday.

About 40 people, including five foundation members gathered to enjoy lunch and the cutting of a birthday cake.

President Nellie Frame welcomed guests and club members and the minutes of the foundation meeting were read.

That meeting set subscriptions at $1 for a year; today those same subs sit at $10.

Currently the club has about 50 members ranging in age from in their 40s to well into their 90s.

While flower competitions are no longer held at the club’s monthly meetings, Thursday’s celebrations saw guests test their knowledge with a table of flowers each was asked to identify.

Foundation members attending the celebration were first president Anne Anderson, patron Audrey Lilley, Mary Stone, Ann Marshall and Valmai Wilson.

The birthday cake was cut by Anne Anderson and Audrey Lilley.

Best friends partners in exhibition

By Katie todd

They’re keen travellers, avid artists, godmothers to one another’s children – and now Annie Bonifant and Anna Guild are partners in an exhibition.

The Cantabrian best friends have produced an array of watercolour and oil paintings to enliven the Mt Hutt Memorial Hall.

Bonifant’s oil paintings hone in on people, creatures and plants

from around the world, while hazy scenes from Parisian streets, blue hues from around the Mediterranean and colourful creatures from the African plains feature in Guild’s watercolour works.

The exhibition opened two weeks ago and has proven a huge hit with visitors, with both friends making seven sales on their opening night, and more since.

Guild hails from High Peak Station and said managing to fit in

the painting can at times be really hard.

“It’s a busy property and there’s seven grandchildren running around. I just have to go into my studio and shut the door,” she laughed.

But her watercolour pieces are the culmination of encouragement from her old neighbour, artist Jessica Gunn, followed by more than two decades of practice, weekend sessions with a

number of tutors – and two years of overseas adventures for inspiration.

After trying all sorts of different art forms, watercolour is the only medium Guild will now work with.

“It’s an infuriating medium, but when it works it’s so exciting,” she said.

Despite the exotic and alluring destinations depicted in her work, Guild said she is less con-

cerned about subject matter than the light and colours.

She said she is currently enjoying capturing water and reflections, including those in a rainy Parisian piece she produced.

The duo opened their exhibition in style two weeks ago – with floral displays and live music from Amelia James – and it will remain open until September 28.

“It’s a lovely space and it’s just been a huge success,” Guild said.

■ Lamb: Place the pieces of lamb between 2 sheets of baking paper and bat with a meat mallet to flatten them a little more if necessary.

Remove the paper. Place a slice of cheese on 1 side of each piece of lamb and push down lightly to join together (or you could use a little

bit of egg wash to stick).

■ Place the flour, egg and breadcrumbs in three separate shallow bowls. Coat a piece of lamb in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the egg and finally coat in the breadcrumbs. Place on a baking tray and repeat with remaining pieces of lamb. Cover and place in the fridge while you prepare the zucchini.

■ Zucchini with herbs: Use a vegetable peeler to slice each zucchini into long thin strips, sprinkle over the herbs and dress with the vinaigrette. Toss gently and set aside.

■ Parsley sauce: Place the oil in a wide heavy-based saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously. Pour in the wine and allow it to bubble up and reduce. Whisk in the butter and allow to melt, then stir in the parsley.

■ To serve: Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the base. Once the oil is hot, add the lamb, cheese-sideup and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning once. If necessary cook in two batches. Drain on crumpled kitchen paper and season. Top crumbed lamb with the zucchini and semidried tomatoes and pour parsley sauce on top.

Changing lives, one vul Like every community, Ashburton has families that struggle to provide a safe and nurturing home for their children. When things go wrong in a family Oranga Tamariki (the Ministry for Children) may become involved.

Simon Coventry, manager of the Ashburton, Timaru and Oamaru centres, talks to reporter Sue Newman about a job that has just one goal – keeping children safe.

I

t’s an inward looking building, frosted windows, set back from the street, easy to ignore, but it’s a building that houses a team of people who are changing lives.

That building is home to Oranga Tamariki and a team of people who make a difference in the lives of children for whom home is no longer a safe place. Children whose families are dysfunctional, children whose lives are broken because the adults who should provide a loving, caring, nurturing environment cannot or will not do so.

It’s a place where there is no judgement, where decisions are made with families – not without – and where the number one focus is keeping children safe and with their whanau.

If Oranga Tamariki staff become involved with a family, it’s the lives of the children they are focused on. Their priority is achieving the best outcome possible for those children, an outcome that will ensure they’re safe from harm.

If possible, that means keeping them with mum and dad. If that’s not possible, next choice is their wider whanau, Simon Coventry, manager of the Ashburton, Timaru and Oamaru branches, said.

For kids for whom the world may not be a safe place, family ties are still important, they’re the ties that help a child feel a sense of belonging, Simon said.

For some, however, there is already a sense of dislocation, of being cast adrift. People have moved, families have lost contact.

Reconnecting those links, finding extended family is important, he

said.

“One of the really good things in Canterbury is that at every site we now employ a whanau searcher who tries to identify where those kids come from, who they come from, so we can make sure they feel connected,” he said.

When a family comes to the attention of Oranga Tamariki the safety of a child is top priority. The organisation works closely with a range of social agencies, including police to deal with issues that may be impacting on that safety.

Reports of concern are assessed as either critical (needing a response within 24 hours), or less critical (needing a response within 48 hours or longer).

“We’ve always got staff who go out and assess safety, the varying degrees of risk to children and we look at every report of concern and make a judgement whether

we need to be involved, because an investigation by us is pretty intrusive,” Simon said.

Risk assessment was incredibly complex, he said, but if there were immediate fears for the safety of a child, then police would be called.

An assessment often involves other agencies and frequently does not lead to an investigation. Sometimes a case is referred to one of those agencies and often there’s found to be no need for any form of intervention, he said.

“But if a child is in need of care and protection the team will look to a family group conference, bringing all the family together.

Extended family is entitled to attend and we want the wider family there to make decisions that are best for the children.”

Only two out of about 50 referrals move on to care and protection.

Where possible children are kept within the wider family, but if this is not possible then a foster care placement is considered. Finding foster families is not easy. It takes special people to do the job and there’s always a need for a bigger pool, Simon said.

“People need to be resilient, to love kids, have a caring and altruistic nature; you need energy and to be really open minded. You’ll probably come across behaviours you haven’t experienced before.”

There are also family homes in Timaru and Oamaru where several children live with adults, and while they are a good interim option, they’re not a long-term answer, he said.

“Some children have done fabulously with caregivers – some haven’t. Non-kin care is not necessarily the answer, it’s traumatic being taken from your family to be

put with strangers that have no knowledge of your family.”

Children now come under the Oranga Tamariki umbrella until they turn 18 and changing that up from 17 was a good move, Simon said.

Over the years he’s been involved in social work, he’s seen younger children come to the organisation’s attention with more complex issues – violence, sexual abuse, neglect.

“And meth, there’s been a big increase in terms of the impact of P and the ability to parent, it’s been a big impact; a significant impact.”

Unfortunately parenting issues can be intergenerational and over his time Simon said he is seeing the names of children from the past pop up as parents of today.

Something has to be done to break the cycle, he said. continued over page

lnerable child at a time

Above – The street front of Ashburton’s Oranga Tamariki building might be bland, but the work that is done behind its doors is making a difference in the lives of some of the district’s most vulnerable children.

“I see this as a whole country issue. It’s about the way families work, how we support families; it’s a whole community approach. We only deal with the pointy end of complexity and risk.”

There was also a significant amount of work done by vulnerable families group and those were with children who never come our way.

So many children started their lives on the back foot and it was hard for them to move forward in life, to take advantage of opportunities. There was a lot of deprivation and it’s about helping those youngsters; providing them with the resources they needed to have a better chance at a better life, Simon said.

It’s important the children who become part of the Oranga Tamarki network are more than just names; their individual story and their journey needed to be well documented, he said.

“The challenge is how we work to help these kids beyond their care and protection needs, how can the community take these kids under its wing. These kids don’t have a lot and the community needs to offer them opportunities. These kids need to be exposed to new things, new experiences so they can aspire to bigger and better things in life.”

It’s not just our team they need, they need the whole community on board, Simon said.

Ashburton has six fulltime social workers and a youth justice worker, all of whom are highly trained. Training, however, is ongoing.

New graduates

work with experienced staff and each office has a supervisor, who is also a social worker, who monitors, guides and works with staff to ensure the right processes are followed.

Ashburton’s office has its own manager, also a social worker, and she’s the organisation’s face in the community.

“It’s her job to get out and talk to people because we realise there is a big need to improve our perception in the community,” he said.

The new Oranga Tamariki Ministry is one year into a five-year process of change.

It’s still working on how best to

deliver services, but it is looking at what’s needed from the ground up and that’s seen additional staff investment in Simon’s three offices – an extra social worker, a whanau researcher, a care and protection co-ordinator. That investment helps keep case worker load down.

It’s a job that has high stress levels and it’s a job that gets inside you, Simon said, but it’s a job that’s incredibly rewarding and that is fundamentally about just one thing – the children.

Ashburton’s team count themselves fortunate to be working from a new building, one where

there are private spaces for family meetings, places for youngsters to play. It’s also a place that’s high on security.

Under its former name Child, Youth and Family, it shared work space with Work and Income in what is now Community House.

Both groups relocated after the Winz shootings in 2014 in which two people died.

In the year to June 30, there were 542 referrals from Ashburton, some of those may involve several children. Around 40 per cent of those required the intervention and investigation of social workers.

Fine balance between commitment and self-care

D

enise Robins is the glue that binds Ashburton’s social workers into a compassionate, caring unit.

She’s supervisor of the team and has 14 years’ experience in social work. She’s absolutely committed to the job and committed to achieving the best possible outcome for every child on their books.

But there’s no denying the job is high stress, Denise said.

“It’s definitely emotionally taxing. Every now and again you’ll get a case where you wake up in the night thinking about it,” she said.

Social workers inevitably develop a relationship with the families they deal with, that’s important when it comes to making the right decisions.

“But sometimes those right decisions are not the easy ones, so it’s pretty tough. It’s pretty emotional and there are things that do affect you, it’s not easy.”

Supervisors also assign cases and for the best outcomes it’s important to assign the right social worker to the right family.

“Ultimately it’s about getting the kids a better deal but in doing that it can touch stuff in you that you don’t even know about, stuff that’s getting rattled around and that’s what supervision is about, making sure emotions are not affecting your decision making.”

Much as it’s important to get the right outcome for children the service is involved with, it’s equally as important to ensure her social workers’ life balance is right

too and that they’re dealing with the emotional side of their work, Denise said.

With many years on the front line, she knows how easily staff can ‘brown out’ from the sheer volume of work. That means self care is ultra important, taking leave, and taking me time, she said.

“You must get a life balance and not get sucked into this.”

She says spending time with her children and grandchildren brings her back to a world where most parents parent well and most kids are loved and safe. It’s her leveller.

“When you work here, you see the most difficult situations so it’s nice to have stuff like this to be involved with.

“If you don’t your view of life can get a bit skewed.”

OUR VIEW

Preparing for a disaster makes sense W

hether we’ve done it as the ultimate survival tool or whether it’s just plain old complacency, it seems most Cantabrians have pushed the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes to a corner of their minds and shut the door – hopefully.

We’re now eight years down the track and yes, the memories of those dark post-earthquake days are still there. For many of us they’ll never go away, but our early drive to be prepared for another big shake has faded.

In the months after the February 2011 quake, getting prepared for another was high priority. We knew the drill, what we needed to have on hand and how we should act if – God forbid – another

quake hit.

Today, if you asked most people how prepared they were they might have to stop and think.

The impact of the Canterbury earthquakes is there forever on the people who lived through them, on the people who lost family because of them. And yes, there are still people fighting for compensation all these years later, but in spite of all of that,

our preparedness is not what it should be.

And Civil Defence minister Kris Faafoi is determined to change that. It’ll take just five minutes to get ourselves prepared he says, and he wants every one of us to take those few minutes to ensure we’re like good boy scouts, prepared.

He believes many Kiwis have put preparedness in the too-hard basket and he could be right. It seems it’s no longer top priority, and pushing it to the back of our minds is something we may live to regret.

If we wait for an emergency to get ready for one, it’ll be too late.

There’s a stack of information around on what you might need

to get by for a few days after a big quake – well stocked pantry, decent can opener, sufficient bottled water for three days, a couple of torches and a radio – and spare batteries, sleeping bags or blankets, food for your pets and if it’s winter, a way to keep warm if the power goes off. And that goes for cooking too. A camp stove and a couple of gas canisters are all you need if the power goes out.

A first aid kit is a must and keeping your car’s tank full might just be the key to a speedy escape to safer territory. It’s also a good idea to have a family plan, a way to keep tabs on one another when cellphones are out of action.

Faafoi isn’t scaremongering, he’s talking common sense and

it’s common sense we’d all do well to log in to.

Predictions that the Alpine Fault is overdue a rupture is a fact. That the Ashburton District will be badly hit when it does rupture is also a fact.

Add to that, scientific evidence that a rupture is due, if not overdue, and we need to get serious about being ready to deal with life without a few mod cons for a few days.

Make a plan, put together the basics for survival, store your kit in an easily accessed place, make a note in your diary to check and replenish your kit every year and you’ll give yourself the best possible chance of riding out the aftermath of the next big one.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Saturday, September 22, the 265th day of 2018. There are 100 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On September 22, 1949, the Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb.

On this date: In 1776, during the Revolutionary War, Capt. Nathan Hale, 21, was hanged as a spy by the British in New York.

In 1792, the French First Republic was proclaimed.

In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in rebel states should be free as of January 1, 1863.

In 1927, Gene Tunney successfully defended his heavyweight boxing title against Jack Dempsey in the famous “longcount” fight in Chicago.

In 1959, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev arrived in Iowa for a two-day stopover, during which he visited a corn farm, held talks with former Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson, and ate his first hot dog.

In 1975, Sara Jane Moore attempted to shoot President Gerald R. Ford outside a San Francisco hotel, but missed.

(Moore served 32 years in prison before being paroled on December 31, 2007.)

In 1980, the Persian Gulf conflict between Iran and Iraq erupted into full-scale war.

In 1993, 47 people were killed when an Amtrak passenger train fell off a bridge and crashed into Big Bayou Canot near Mobile, Alabama. (A tugboat pilot lost in fog pushed a barge into the railroad bridge, knocking the tracks 38 inches out of line just minutes before the train arrived.)

W

hat do you think happens at school? Everyone has an opinion about education because everyone had one. But what do you think happens at school now? So many times I read opinions and arguments based on an assumption of what happens at school.

In my opinion that base assumption is often wrong and the recent multi-lingual conversation editorial piece by Sue Newman is a classic example.

It has been great to see the resulting replies by readers as they put forward the argument for the relevance of the Maori language for New Zealanders, but no-one addressed the very flawed assumption that Sue used to launch her learn-by-osmosis argument.

Towards the end of her editorial Sue writes, “The school curriculum is already packed with subjects and if one more is added, it needs to be something that will be an advantage to a student in their post-school years.”

This sentence contains more flaws than a three-button cardigan knitted by a blind, one-legged dog. Yet it was not challenged and the reason so is because there still exists this Edwardian era notion that schools deliver subjects that fill up children.

Firstly our curriculum is not packed with subjects, we have only eight learning areas or subjects to the New Zealand Curriculum.

Our curriculum is one of the thinnest, lightest curriculums in the world. Seriously, it is only 49 pages long and that includes the contents, the foreword and even a glossary.

There would be more words in a Saturday copy of the Guardian plus the YOU magazine than our national curriculum.

We don’t have a prescribed curriculum that tells us what we have to teach word for word. I often have parents ask for some school work when they take their child away for a holiday during term time.

There is a misunderstanding

And of course having an indepth knowledge of pronouns helped you blow away the competition when you were being interviewed for a digger operator’s job. Yes, knowing that interrogative pronouns are different to indefinite pronouns impressed the boss so much, they decided to hire you and even let you have a company ute to use on the weekends.

You see, this notion that we have subjects ready to go, to fill up children with, is just out of touch with what learning is about. Learning is not regurgitating subject material to prove you have learned that subject. We do not fill our students with learning that gives them an advantage after their schooling ends.

Ask any employer what they value in their employees and they will not say things like, their knowledge of the arts curriculum, or how they can spell more than 10,000 words, or that they can build a three-dimensional cube out of toothpicks and wine gums.

I would not stress about the requirement for schools to add an advantage to our children, I would question what parents are doing to ensure their children can be successful adults.

Sue is not to blame for having an outdated view of what schools are about and how they work. We have had more changes to education and our schools than Australia has had prime ministers. How is anyone who is not in education meant to keep up?

Yes, we as schools play a part in developing our children for the future, but the challenge to keep up with preparing our children for a rapidly-changing society, where they can gain meaningful employment, is difficult. Without good parenting, we cannot do the job we are tasked to do.

Sadly, we as schools, are more and more doing the jobs of parents, so a packed curriculum is the least of our worries.

Toto’s hit Africa a wild card Africa, the song 80s rockers Toto are most remembered for, was a wild card experiment for the band, thrown on the album at last minute, with weird lyrics, says the band’s guitarist Steve Lukather, who says he is still surprised today how popular the song still is. “I would never in a million years have called it ... it was a wild card, created out of nothing. We were experimenting and it took a life of its own ... when I heard the lyrics I was like, ‘really? ... they are a little weird’ ... but we went for it as a fantasy song. We threw it on the album as a throw away album cut and it has taken a life of its own ... sometimes I still can’t believe it.”

Authorities respond to a shooting in Harford County, Maryland, yesterday. Authorities said four people were shot including the gunwoman.

Four dead in shooting A woman working a temporary job at a drugstore warehouse in Maryland got into an argument at work yesterday and began shooting colleagues, killing three before fatally turning the gun on herself, authorities and witnesses said.

Workers at the Rite Aid distribution centre in northeastern Maryland described terrifying moments of “crazy” gunfire and people screaming and running in all directions after the shooting. Others said they helped the wounded, one person tying blood-soaked jeans around a man’s injured leg in a bid to stop the bleeding.

Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said at a news conference that the woman was

later identified as a temporary employee of the distribution centre, Snochia Moseley of Baltimore County.

“She had reported for her workday as usual, and around 9am the shooting began, striking victims both outside the business and inside the facility,” Gahler said. “We do not at this time have a motive for this senseless crime.”

Krystal Watson, 33, said her husband, Eric, works at the facility and told her that the suspect had been arguing with somebody else near a time clock after a “town hall meeting”.

“And she went off,” she said.

“She didn’t have a particular target. She was just shooting,” Watson said as she drove away

from a fire station where relatives tried to reunite with loved ones.

The sheriff said the call about shots fired came in at about 9.06am and deputies and other officers were on the scene in just over five minutes.

The shooting began outside the business and continued inside, he said.

It appears only one weapon was used – a 9mm Glock handgun that was registered in Moseley’s name – and no shots were fired by responding law enforcement officers, Gahler said.

Walter Zambrano, 64, who described himself as a worker at the distribution centre, said he was in the bathroom when shooting broke out and saw

nothing as he hid, frightened for his life.

The person was “shooting like crazy,” Zambrano said.

He said the gunfire seemed to go on several minutes, and when it was over he sprinted outdoors. On the way out, he said he saw a female co-worker down on the floor. The scene, he said, was one of chaos.

“Everyone was screaming, running this way and that. I didn’t know which way to run,” he said.

The sheriff said three victims were fatally shot and three more were wounded but were expected to survive. They were not immediately identified. Moseley died at a hospital from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Gahler said.

$50,000 for Kidsline Kidsline has revealed David Seymour raised $50,000 for the charity on Dancing with the Stars NZ, following the ACT leader’s calls for Mediaworks to release the full details of money raised by the show. “I’m so pleased that my twerking has paid off for a charity I love,” said Seymour. “At this time mental health is topical, and Kidsline are tackling the issues in a practical way.” Kidsline said the $50k sum was generated specifically from the show’s text voting revenue.

MediaWorks announced yesterday the reality TV show had raised a total of $424,365.90 for the charities selected by the 12 celebrities.

Ferry capsizes on lake; 200 feared dead More than 200 people are feared to have died after a ferry carrying more than 100 people capsized on Lake Victoria in Tanzania.

Rescuers were frantically searching for those trapped on board the MV Nyerere after the boat began to sink en route between the island of Bugolora and Ukara.

A source told the BBC that despite the fact the MV Nyerere was only built for 105 people, there were more than 400 passengers on board when it sank.

Government sources said 40 were confirmed dead but there were more than 200 people “feared drowned” as rescue operations continued.

Rescuers aboard the capsized ship.

The Tanzanian government has confirmed the ferry capsized but exact figures for those on board are yet to be confirmed.

A spokesperson confirmed 40 people had died in the trag-

edy – with the number expected to rise.

“According to reports that President John Magufuli has just received from the authorities in Mwanza, the toll now stands at more than 40 dead,”

Gerson Msigwa, the president’s spokesman, said on state television.

Civilians and official rescuers were said to be frantically working together to help the survivors of the disaster.

The Citizen of Tanzania reported that fishermen rescued about 20 people immediately after the incident.

Tanzania’s Electrical, Mechanical and Services Agency spokeswoman Theresia Mwami said so far they had not established the exact number of passengers who were on board.

“We pray to God to give us hope in such an accident,” Regional Commissioner Adam Malima told reporters.

Witchcraft claims A female drummer is accusing superstar Beyonce of “extreme witchcraft” and casting “spells” on her. Kimberly Thompson, who in court documents obtained by The Blast says she worked for the singer for seven years, accused Beyonce of a campaign of harassment against her that included the practice of “dark magic” and “magic spells of sexual molestation”. Thompson even claimed the Lemonade hitmaker murdered her kitten. The drummer filed paperwork seeking a restraining order against Beyonce believing that she had been tapping her phones and controlling her finances.

Prison for Cosby?

Bill Cosby could be sent to prison next week for drugging and molesting a woman at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004 in what became the first celebrity trial of the #MeToo era.

Cosby is due in court Monday for a two-day sentencing hearing that follows his conviction in the spring on three felony counts of aggravated indecent assault. The judge’s options are broad, because the state guideline range of about one to four years spans the gamut from a prison term to a jail stint to house arrest or probation. The maximum term is 10 years per count.

Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee has been accused of sexual misconduct by Christine Blasey Ford, when they were teenagers.

Judiciary chairman Chuck Grassley, has scheduled a hearing for Monday morning, and he and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have indicated it would be Ford’s only chance to make her case. Republicans are anxious to move ahead to a

Taylor Foy, spokesman for Republicans on the panel, said after the call that Grassley “will consult with his colleagues on the committee”. “He remains committed to providing a fair forum for both Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh.”

California makes people ask for straws, sodas with kids’ meals If you want a straw with your drink or a soda with a kid’s meal at a California restaurant, you’ll need to ask for them starting next year.

A law signed yesterday by Gov. Jerry Brown makes California the first state to bar full-service restaurants from automatically giving out single-use plastic straws.

Another law he approved requires milk or water to be the default drink sold with kids’ meals at fast-food and full-service restaurants.

Neither law is an outright ban on straws or sugary drinks in kids’ meals. But some Republicans have called the measures government overreach by the heavily Democratic state.

California restaurants that don’t comply with the straw law will get two warnings before being fined. Lawmakers changed the legislation to add a $300 annual fine limit. It will apply only to sit-down restaurants where customers are waited on by restaurant staff, not fast-food establishments.

Health inspectors will be responsible for enforcing the law.

In brief

Accuser may testify after all Christine Blasey Ford may testify against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh after all, her attorney said yesterday, breathing new life into the prospect of a dramatic Senate showdown next week over Ford’s accusation that he assaulted her when both were in high school.

The preference would be for Ford to testify next Thursday, and she doesn’t want Kavanaugh in the same room, her attorney told Judiciary Committee staff in a 30-minute call that also touched on security concerns and others issues, according to a Senate aide.

Ford is willing to tell her story to the Judiciary Committee, whose senators will vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation – but only if agreement can be reached on “terms that are fair and which ensure her safety,” the attorney said in an email earlier yesterday. In the call, she said Ford needs time to secure her family, prepare her testimony and travel to Washington. No decisions were reached, the aide said.

Kavanaugh, now a judge on the powerful US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, has repeatedly denied her allegation.

The accusation has jarred the 53-year-old conservative jurist’s prospects for winning confirmation, which until Ford’s emergence last week had seemed all but certain. It has also bloomed into a broader clash over whether women alleging abuse are

A huge amount of plastic is dumped in oceans every year that can kill fish and contaminate people’s food and water.

Democratic lawmakers who support the policy call it a small step toward reducing ocean pollution.

Brown, who has made environmental issues a signature priority, pointed to the large amount of plastic dumped in oceans every year that can kill whales and fish and contaminate people’s food and water supplies.

“Plastic has helped advance innovation in our society, but our infatuation with single-use convenience has led to disastrous consequences,” Brown said. “Plastics, in all forms are

choking the planet.”

California’s law doesn’t go as far as those in cities, including San Francisco and Seattle, that ban straws outright.

Critics argue California’s straw law won’t significantly improve the environment. Some say restricting straws hurts disabled people who rely on them.

The sugary drink law will still let restaurants and fast food chains sell soda or juice with children’s meals. But it says only milk; a non-dairy milk alternative; or sparkling, still or flavoured water can be handed out as a default.

“She wishes to testify, provided that we can agree on terms that are fair and which ensure her safety,” Katz wrote in the email.

Taiwan shop removes ‘Nazi’ signs A hairdressers in Taiwan has covered up its street signs, after it was criticised for having a logo similar to the Nazi swastika.

According to the Taiwan News website, the Berlin Hair Salon in the northern city of Hsinchu has covered its logos with a magic marker, so that only the name of the hair salon can be seen, after a week of angry comments.

The salon has also changed the logo on its Facebook page, after it received hundreds of negative comments online. It has been criticised by the region’s German and Jewish communities.

The Liberty Times newspaper said that owner Hsu Chen-yang had originally defended his business, claiming the design was merely four razor blades. He said that the salon’s design was created by an external designer, and denied there was any relationship between the shop’s logo and historical events.

But he told the EBC broadcaster on September 19 that he had had people urinating and defecating outside the premises, and that he had taken steps to protect his business.

He also said that he will speak to a designer about a new logo.

Moratorium on palm oil Indonesia’s president has signed a moratorium on new palm oil development and ordered a review of existing plantations, an official said yesterday, in a blow to an industry blamed for environmental destruction and worker exploitation. Prabianto Mukti Wibowo, a deputy minister at the Co-ordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, said the moratorium, first announced by president Joko Widodo after devastating fires in 2015, will last three years. He said it’s needed because many planned plantations are inside natural forests and also to clarify the legal rights of villagers and smallholders.

Are your details for sale on dark web?

By Chris Keall Spark has sent around 21,000 customers a warning that their details are on a list of stolen logins for sale on the dark web – a section of the internet where illegal goods are often trafficked.

Spokeswoman Ellie Cross emphasises that there has not been a data breach at Spark.

Rather, it appears that some customers have used the same user name and logon for other services, which have been hacked.

Spark does not know the source, or sources, for the list of logins up for sale, but the telco notes there have been a number of major data breaches over the past couple of years. It names LinkedIn and Yahoo (the former provider for Spark’s Xtra Mail). Sony and Ticketmaster are among others to have lost customer data en masse.

Cross says the 21,000 affected accounts represent “a small subset” of the 1.7 million total accounts at the telco.

She says the telco is taking a proactive step to make sure its customers don’t have their Spark accounts compromised thanks to breaches at other services.

“While we know that it’s unset-

tling to receive emails like this, we’d always prefer to take steps to protect our customers and advise them of the steps they need to take to look after their own online security,” she says.

The telco emailed a number of customers on Tuesday after it noticed suspicious activity on their accounts.

The telco forced password reset on all of the affected accounts.

By Tamsyn ParKer Sir Michael Cullen has called for the Government to take a heavier approach to the way it regulates KiwiSaver fees.

Cullen, who was Labour’s finance minister when KiwiSaver was launched in 2007, was talking about the potential impact of a capital gains tax on KiwiSaver on the AM Show yesterday morning when he raised the fee issue.

Cullen said the Tax Working Group was looking at ways to offset any potential impact from a capital gains tax on things like KiwiSaver.

“We don’t want to end up with a reduction on returns to low to middle income earners in KiwiSaver.”

He said one of the best ways of doing that was to crack down on KiwiSaver fees.

“One of the best ways of doing

Sir Michael Cullen that of course, and I urge Grant [Finance Minister Grant Robertson] to get to this ... is to look at much heavier regulation of the fees charged on KiwiSaver schemes.”

Cullen said default schemes and

tracking funds had “no excuse” for charging more than about 50 basis points for just “clipping the ticket”.

“They are charging a lot more than that and that comes off the net return substantially to people on modest incomes.”

The Government has already signalled it will begin a review of the nine default providers next year and fees will be closely looked at as part of that.

Robertson told a finance industry conference earlier this month that the default provider review, which takes place every seven years, was a chance to take stock of the market.

“To understand what obligations should be on providers and have a look at those big issues like fees, like ethical investment, because it is the right time to do it and to make sure we are part of enhancing KiwiSaver.” – NZME

In need of a vegan-friendly fund?

By Tamsyn ParKer First they pulled out of bombs and cigarettes and now a New Zealand investment provider has gone a step further by offering a veganfriendly fund.

Pathfinder Asset Management, which specialises in responsible investment and manages money on behalf of Ngai Tahu, said it had tweaked one of its global equity funds to screen out companies with animal welfare and animal testing issues.

John Berry, Pathfinder chief executive, said it had made the move

on the back of demand from investors.

“This year we have been approached by many investors who are concerned about animal welfare issues. These have included vegans, who are very passionate about cruelty-free investment, but also a much wider audience focused on animal testing and how animals are treated generally.”

A survey released by the Responsible Investment Association Australasia this week also found animal welfare was top of mind for KiwiSaver investors.

Berry said it had used a special-

ist analytics company to screen its Global Water Fund which had resulted in removal of one company.

The fund already excludes companies involved in thermal coal, gambling, adult entertainment, pornography and controversial weapons.

He didn’t believe the change would have any negative impact on the returns of the fund.

“We do not believe incorporating animal welfare screening will change the risk and return characteristics of the fund.”

The fund has a minimum investment of $5000.

Gagai the money man

BY MATT ENCARNACION Cooper Cronk and James Tedesco weren’t the only ones paid to deliver in the big games.

While the marquee pair take the spotlight this week for their role in the Sydney Roosters’ chase for an elusive NRL title, South Sydney’s own prize signing has garnered little fanfare.

Dane Gagai is the only Rabbitohs player set to take on the Roosters in tonight’s preliminary final that wasn’t in their roster last season.

But even though he arrived without the burden of premiership expectation as his Roosters counterparts, Gagai had the same lofty goals.

“Every team goes into the season with the belief that they’re going to play in the finals.

If you don’t have that mindset, then you don’t deserve to wear a jersey,” Gagai said.

It’s been five years since Gagai last played finals football, starring in a stacked Newcastle side coached by Wayne Bennett that agonisingly fell one game short of the decider.

Ironically, they were knocked out by the Roosters.

Back then Gagai was a starry-eyed young buck. This time, he’s a 27-year-old Kangaroos and Queensland State of Origin veteran in a youthful backline, minus captain and centrepartner Greg Inglis.

And after almost a year with his new club, he believes the next generation of Rabbitohs have more of a competitive edge than the young brigade he was tasked with leading at the Knights.

“For me now, I’m in a position where we can actually have a red-hot crack.”

It’s a chance few people expected of the Rabbitohs in the pre-season, however Gagai believes the key to their turnaround has been their balance to their line- up.

“One thing I’ve loved about these young players that I’m playing alongside, is their competitiveness. They’re not just happy being here, but they genuinely want to win.

“It makes you not want to let them down just that little bit more.”

Taurua coached the Sunshine Coast Lightning to back-to-back titles in the first two seasons of their domestic Super Netball competition. Shooters Caitlin Bassett and Stephanie Wood, and wing attack Kelsey Browne, were all members of the Lightning squad over the past two years.

The Silver Ferns haven’t had long together as a group, so Taurua’s analysis of the Australian players will be crucial and could provide a slight edge.

Ioane re-signs with NZ Star winger Rieko Ioane has committed to the All Blacks for four more years in a significant win for New Zealand Rugby. The 21-year-old, who has scored 18 tries from 18 tests, was the subject of intense offshore club interest but has chosen to remain put at his Super Rugby team the Blues.

His deal is the longest of any current All Black, taking him to the end of 2022. Ioane was last year crowned World Rugby Breakthrough Player of the Year and was also a nominee for the main award.

Eddie keeping calm England coach Eddie Jones has described South Africa’s shock victory over the All Blacks as great for world rugby but resisted the urge to stoke fires ahead of a showdown with Steve Hansen’s men later this year.

“The All Blacks’ losses are quite cyclical. They’re batting 90 per cent. They lose one test every year. Everyone’s excited but they’re still a great team,” Jones said yesterday in response to the All Blacks’ 36-34 defeat in Wellington. England and the All Blacks will clash at Twickenham on November 10, the first time in four years the two sides will meet as well as the first with Jones as England coach.

Centre of attention

Tom Hanham-Carter has made a name for himself playing in the Mid Canterbury backline, at centre, in this year’s Heartland Championship.

PHOTO ERIN TASKER 180819-ET-8

In just his second season of Heartland rugby, Tom Hanham-Carter has well and truly cemented his position as Mid Canterbury’s preferred centre.

But the tall, lanky 20-year-old knew he still had a lot more growing to do as a player.

He knew if he was going to go further as a centre he needed to add to his six-foot three-inch frame by bulking up a bit, and he also knew he still had a lot of learning to do.

Playing alongside experienced players like Andrew Letham in the Mid Canterbury backline this season was helping him to do just that.

The youngest player in this year’s squad, Hanham-Carter was versatile.

He played both centre and firstfive, as well as a bit of fullback, for his Rakaia club in this year’s Combined Country Cup and Watters Cup competitions.

But centre was where he saw his future.

The Mid Canterbury coaching team agreed, and when Mid Canterbury runs out onto the field to take on South Canterbury in the Heartland Championship’s fifth round today, Hanham-Carter will again have the number 13 on his back.

The Hanham name is synonymous with rugby in Mid Canterbury.

Hanham-Carter’s grandad Mick Hanham was a Mid Canterbury rugby centurion; his name was one of those lining the Mid Canterbury side’s home changing shed walls.

Rugby was well and truly a family thing – Hanham-Carter’s cousin Will

Tucker was also a part of the New Zealand Under-20 side for this year’s world cup in France – while Hanham-Carter’s dad is this year’s Mid Canterbury coach Sean Carter.

But following in his grandad’s footsteps and playing for Mid Canterbury was something Hanham-Carter probably didn’t think he’d be doing a couple of years ago while playing for his high school’s second XV, and it was something he reckoned he had Rakaia to thank for.

“I only really peaked once I left school and started playing for Rakaia,” he said.

Hanham-Carter grew up at West Melton and started his high schooling at Darfield High School before switching to St Bede’s in Christchurch.

Injury dashed his first XV hopes at St Bede’s and he ended up coming back and playing for the school’s second XV. After leaving school, HanhamCarter went along to Rakaia trainings with his dad – who was coaching at the club – and discovered they were a bit light on players, so HanhamCarter signed up.

“I didn’t really have any expectations, I was just sort of hoping to make a representative team and I got selected in the Heartland team, which was a bonus,” he said.

Last year Mid Canterbury had to settle for a spot playing off for the Lochore Cup (for teams that finished fifth to eighth after the round robin) and played West Coast in the final in Methven, which Mid Canterbury won.

With former All Black Regan King in the Mid Canterbury squad and playing at centre for the opening few rounds of last year’s competition, Hanham-Carter didn’t get much of a look in at the start of the 2017 campaign.

But after King departed mid-season, that changed.

Anything he got last year was a bonus, and this year – despite being the youngest – he was almost one of the old hands.

Mid Canterbury’s backline had proven to be up there with the best in the competition so far this season, and Hanham-Carter had been a big part of that with his elusive running and accurate kicking game.

But, Mid Canterbury’s hopes of a top four finish and a spot in the Meads Cup (top four) finals had taken a couple of early hits this season.

The side had already dropped two games in the opening four rounds, and Hanham-Carter and his teammates knew they couldn’t afford to drop another if they were to achieve their side’s goal of a top four finish and a shot at the Meads Cup. “We lost three last year and we just missed out and it was unfortunate, so we have to keep winning from here on in.”

Hanham-Carter didn’t know what the future held.

He’d love to experience Mitre 10 Cup level rugby one day, and hoped to head overseas at some point, but for now his focus was on getting the job done for Mid Canterbury, starting with a win over South Canterbury today.

In brief Read out of Pumas test All Blacks captain Kieran Read has been rested for next weekend’s Rugby Championship test against Argentina. Read will not travel to Argentina with the All Blacks squad, instead re-joining the squad for their re-match with the Springboks the following week. Read will be replaced by Vaea Fifita for the Pumas test, while Ngani Laumape, called in as injury cover earlier in the Rugby Championship, was not named due to the return to fitness of Sonny Bill Williams and Ryan Crotty.

Cipriani dropped Danny Cipriani has been dropped from England’s 36-man squad for its training camp ahead of the November rugby union tests, a month after being arrested following an incident at a nightclub. England coach Eddie Jones said the decision to leave out the flyhalf was purely on form, and not on Cipriani’s conviction for assault and resisting arrest during a night out in preseason. “We’ve decided just to have two standoffs (George Ford and Owen Farrell) in the squad for this particular camp,” said Jones.

‘Test match’ for Hammers

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

If Mid Canterbury lose to South Canterbury in Timaru today, the side can probably kiss its Heartland rugby championship top four hopes goodbye.

Coach Sean Carter said it was crunch time.

With two losses from the first four rounds already to its name, a third loss would likely mean Mid Canterbury would have to win its remaining three games and rely on other results to go its way in order to be one of the top four teams to go on to contest the Meads Cup at the end of the round robin.

And that was not a position the side wanted to be in.

Last season Mid Canterbury narrowly missed out on a top four spot and ended up playing off for the Lochore Cup – for the next four teams.

The side won that in a dramatic final against West Coast in Methven and while it was always good to finish a season with silverware in the cabinet, it was the Meads Cup that every team really wanted to lock away for the summer.

Mid Canterbury heads into today’s clash in sixth spot on the ladder, tied on 12 points with three other teams – Wairarapa Bush, Thames Valley and West Coast – while North Otago and Horowhenua-Kapiti sat just one point back on 11.

South Canterbury will head into today’s match as favourites,

sitting third on the ladder and having put a record 100 points on the board against East Coast last weekend, but Carter was confident the players who took to the field for Mid Canterbury had the ability to knock South Canterbury over.

Just who would take to the field for the Hammers though was still up in the air yesterday, as the side continued to struggle with sickness.

Flu and a gastro bug have ripped through the side over the

“

not differ greatly to the one the side took into last weekend’s 3012 loss to Wanganui.

“Against Wanganui the game plan wasn’t wrong, it was that we didn’t execute it well, so we are going to stick with it,” Carter said.

Mid Canterbury and South Canterbury met pre-season, with South Canterbury coming out on top, but nothing could be taken from that match, Carter said.

Only a handful of players who took to the park for both sides that day would be taking to the

At the end of the day it will be the team that makes the best decisions and the least errors that will win

past couple of weeks and at least four players were still unwell, so players had been brought up from the Mid Canterbury development side as cover.

A team was named on Thursday night, with some players bracketed, and Carter said a decision was to be made last night on who was well enough to play and who wasn’t.

Carter said due in part to the fragmented week his side had experienced, the game plan against South Canterbury today would

park today, he said.

“They’ve put 160 points on the last two teams they are playing some good running rugby,” Carter said.

The Hanan Shield – currently held by South Canterbury – would also go on the line today, and that provided an added incentive for players, Carter said.

Winning today was vital to Mid Canterbury’s top four aspirations, and if the side could do that and bring the Hanan Shield back to Ashburton at the same

time, that would be the perfect outcome.

“It’s definitely crunch time.

“I sort of look at the season and we have our ‘test’ matches, and Wanganui was one of them and South Canterbury will be another, and that’s how we need to approach it,” Carter said.

Mid Canterbury would need to be clinical against South Canterbury.

“It will certainly be an even contest and at the end of the day it will be the team that makes the best decisions and the least errors that will win,” Carter said.

While just who would take to the park today was still a little up in the air last night, the team that was named on Thursday night was largely the same as the one that took to the field against Wanganui, with a couple of exceptions.

Sam Cottam was set to return to the fray in the front row, while in the back line there was a positional swap with Dan Fransen moving from fullback to wing, and Timoci Nabakeke from the wing to fullback.

The game between Mid Canterbury and South Canterbury will kick off at 2.30pm today at Timaru’s Alpine Energy Stadium, where it was also the South Canterbury Rugby Union’s family day.

Current All Black Joe Moody and New Zealand sevens star DJ Forbes would be on hand to meet and greet fans, and entry was free for all children aged under-16.

Superstar fullback Israel Folau has won the Matthew Burke Cup, the NSW Waratahs players’ players award. The Wallabies back polled 99 votes, to finish ahead of captain and openside flanker Michael Hooper (77), backrower Michael Wells (71) and inside centre Kurtley Beale (65). Votes were cast on a 3-2-1 basis by members of each match day squad after the Waratahs games.

Schofield ‘easy decision’ West Coast coach Adam Simpson says it was an easy decision to recall veteran defender Will Schofield for tonight’s preliminary final against Melbourne at Optus Stadium. Schofield was unlucky to be axed for the qualifying final win over Collingwood, but he has earned a recall after fellow backman Brad Sheppard was cut down by a hamstring injury.

Simpson says the ruck battle against Melbourne’s All-Australian big man Max Gawn will be vital, and he is also wary of the Demons’ star-studded midfield.

Kaikoura target for Baileys Knight Jack Harrington is well aware that the New Zealand Cup will be a bridge too far for Baileys Knight this year but he was nevertheless rapt to get the smart Christian Cullen gelding back on track at Addington on Thursday night.

The five-year-old had made mistakes in varying degrees in

front a lap out and from there they were never threatened.

Baileys Knight rolled home in a 1.56.8-mile rate.

Dexter Dunn had been the regular driver of Baileys Knight last season but his departure for a working holiday in America opened the door for Sam Ottley

each of his three races prior this season, but he was faultless this time and proved a class above Franco Texas and Kingmaker.

Harrington drove Baileys Knight himself and settled three-wide from the outside gate while Kingmaker and Franco Texas sorted out the lead before breezing to the

M8 Oamaru harness

when he resumed in the National Handicap at Addington in August.

Baileys Knight botched the standing start completely that night and also made a mistake behind the mobile a week later, although he recovered to finish a game third behind Saying Grace and Wrangler.

“I’d offered the drive to Sam at Methven last Sunday, but her mother (Denise) had Rocki Warrior engaged and she’s also been driving Forgotten Highway lately,” said Harrington.

“His Grand Final for the moment is really the Sales race for aged horses at Kaikoura.” - NZHN

In brief

■ NEW ZEALAND CUP

Aussie raider in Cup field November’s New Zealand Cup looks set for a further boost from across the ditch.

Connections of Queensland pacer Alleluia are expected to pay the late entry fee by Wednesday’s cut off to propel the half-a-million-dollar earner in to contention.

“We are 99 per cent sure we are going to pay it,” said owner Greg Mitchell yesterday.

“Addington have today given us an indicative rating that suggests we would currently be in the top 15.

“He’s down to race this Saturday night and if he comes through that well, we’ll make the payment.”

The Grant Dixon-trained pacer placed third in July’s Group 1 $200,000 Blacks A Fake, a Grand Circuit event that was won by Let It Ride.

M6

Subsequent to that, he has won his last four starts at Albion Park in impressive fashion.

“Hopefully we can get there because it looks to be an open Cup this year,” said Mitchell.

Jockey Michael Coleman expects a much-improved performance from Francaletta in today’s Gr.1 Windsor Park Plate (1600m) at Hastings. Coleman admitted he was disappointed with the Murray Baker and Andrew Forsmantrained High Chaparral mare after she faded to ninth place after getting one of the best runs in the race in the Tarzino Trophy earlier this month. “She’s had a trial since and hopefully she can bounce back.”

- NZME

Blue bolts in at Taupo The Tony Pike-trained debutant Bolt From The Blue made a winning start to his career when he scored at Taupo by nearly two lengths in the NZ Jumps Jockeys (1000m) yesterday. The Rip Van Winkle gelding won his two recent trials and took that form into yesterday’s race where he took advantage of his handy barrier of three. “It was a good effort,” Pike said. “He got a good kick off the corner and he was quite impressive.”

The Grant Dixon-trained Alleluia could be seen at the New Zealand Cup Carnival at Addington in November.

Plans are yet to be finalised, but it is likely Alleluia will only start in the New Zealand Cup and, potentially, Show Day’s New Zealand Free For All with no lead-up runs in his former homeland.

“We’ll come over a week or ten days prior, via Sydney and Auckland.”

Other Australian-trained horses to have been nominated for the race are Chicago Bull, Tiger Tara, Bettormatch while Cruz Bromac recently transferred to Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen’s Rolleston stable.

Purdon and Rasmussen were the original trainers of Alleluia, his last start for them coming at the 2014 edition of the Harness Jewels, at Cambridge.

Since then, the now eight-yearold has gone on to win 33 races and $515,159.

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

WordWheel

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Take heart and keep working.

Your excellent efforts will eventually be seen, acknowledged and awarded, though perhaps not until you’ve reached a kind of critical mass on your own accord.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Typically, a thing you have no control over is not your problem. If it bothers you, the problem is the bothering and not the thing itself. The solution will be an understanding and a reckoning in your mind.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The timeline feels more like a continuum now because when one thing ends, another picks up right where that left off. If you want to take a break and a breath, you’ll have to wilfully carve that out.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’re the “wise” for whom “a word to” is usually sufficient. Today you’re so tuned in that you don’t even need the word. A slightly raised eyebrow is more than enough for you to get the info and react accordingly.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): There’s so much you want to do with this weekend. But if you try to do everything, you’ll end up doing nothing of note. Your ideal move is to pick one focus and do it well.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’re a great friend. Your kind words and support will really make a difference to another person. Your luck will double when you offer the same sort of encouragement to yourself.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Take advantage of the astral magic offered today by acting as though you already have what you want. It will feel so fantastic to appreciate your great fortune that you will find it’s actuality quite irrelevant.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The most difficult thing to prioritise – the thing that people overlook time and again – is the love they already have. Get this right and you’ll get a lot right.

In fact, everything else will fall into place.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Letting go of the need to control anyone but yourself will liberate your energy and put you in a more loving, receptive mode. The magic motto is, “To each his own.”

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Your big plans are getting bigger, which, oddly enough, will have you focusing on dozens of small but crucial details today. These are the efforts that guarantee an unforgettable experience.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): There are questions people can handle and then there are questions that are akin to opening Pandora’s box. They overwhelm and create chaos that can’t be put back. Think twice before you ask.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): There’s a reasonable-sized cosmic shift happening and however you feel, you’re likely to feel differently about it tomorrow. So hold on and enjoy the roller coaster. Ride it out until the end.
