Sealy Street Medical Centre will move to a new health centre in the Eastfield precinct as part of a regeneration of Ashburton’s central business district.

The plan for Eastfield Health was revealed to Ashburton district councillors yesterday as they heard submissions on their CBD revitalisation project, which will include a 30km/h speed limit, angle parking and some one-way streets.

Enjoy peace of mind in your retirement.

Chairwoman of Eastfield Health Mary Ross said the Sealy Street practice would relocate to the first floor of a new purpose-built facility to be built on Tancred Street. A pharmacy and complementary health professionals will occupy the ground floor.

The health centre has sought a “nonnegotiable” patient drop-off zone on Tancred Street and space for four general practitioners. Work on the centre will begin as soon as possible.

A 90-bed hotel is planned on Burnett Street as part of the Eastfield development.

Eastfield director Graham Kennedy said the health centre was important for the regeneration of the CBD and was a long-term viable business that would bring people into town.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

CBD revamp plans take a step closer to reality

Miffed Mayfield community groups are on the hunt for a group of toilet-targeting vandals.

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton District Council’s plans to breathe new life into the central business district (CBD) and encourage more pedestrians and cyclists advanced yesterday.

Council’s revitalisation plan attracted 66 submissions and nine submitters took the opportunity to make their views known in person.

Councillors decided to stick with their preferred options of some one-way streets, 30km/h and angle parking on some streets; there was robust discussion about cycle lanes.

Cr Neil Brown said he wanted to know the number of cyclists using roads in the CBD but conceded it was a “chicken and egg” situation in that they needed to feel safe about using the space.

Council is revisiting its cycle strategy for the town before the next annual plan but councillors agreed to include a cycleway along Cass Street that could link to other networks, including a second bridge. A new roundabout is planned for the corner of Moore and Cass Streets.

Transport specialists will now do a final survey plan and have it back to council for signoff in September.

Acting CEO Jane Donaldson said council had confidence in going ahead with the project, as key projects in the Eastfield precinct progressed. The fate of

other buildings that needed expensive quake strengthening was unknown.

“We have anchor projects and can take the plunge. If you sit back and wait for every single building to be demolished, we will still be here in 20 years.”

Councillors were left in no doubt by submitters that the CBD needed attention in the form of colour and new features.

While the project is long-term and the work likely to be carried out street-by-street, they agreed some early work like painting, seating, installing water fountains and free wi-fi would be a good and immediate start.

CBD worker Peter McAuliffe said some business owners might still not be aware of the changes planned and would need targeted consultation.

He was concerned about any narrowing of Tancred and Burnett Streets that would limit the ability of large delivery trucks to drop off goods.

Several submitters suggested Ashburton had “a parking problem” but plan designer Jeanette Ward, of Abley consultants, said she had not seen any issues on her visits to the town.

West Street business owner Emmily Harmer said she was regularly ticketed in the West Street carpark for breaching the twohour limit and suggested council offer a parking permit for those willing to pay for a space there.

Vandals armed with blue spray paint have left a group of frustrated Mayfield locals in their wake, after targeting a number of community facilities over the weekend.

Acads issues alcohol free challenge

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

The call is out to Ashburton workers – can you and your colleagues go alcohol free for 28 days?

Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drug Service (Acads) has launched a workplace health pilot, and its first organisation on board is the Ashburton District Council.

Six people there – five employees and one elected member, deputy mayor Neil Brown – are aiming to go without a single drop of beer, wine or spirits for a whole four weeks.

Acads health promoter Tania Scott said the initiative was launched to try and get people to improve their health.

“We really think that people are drinking too much,” Scott said.

“There’s a message from the alcohol industry that there’s such a thing as responsible drinking, our message is that can be set too high and actually you can feel a lot better without alcohol.

“We hope that by doing a challenge like this people might change their relationship with alcohol.”

And that did not necessarily mean giving up completely, but finding health benefits from any reduction and making a personal

Sealy Street doctors on the move to the CBD From P1 The Eastfield development would be a catalyst to bring the wider CBD back to life, he said.

The health centre needed easy access from the street, which the developers hoped could be incorporated into council’s plans to convert Tancred Street into an eastbound one-way street, with parallel parking on the left and angle parking on the right.

Eastfield Health business manager Tony Dann said designers would work with coun-

cil to ensure pedestrian safety.

He said up to 20 people a day could need to be assisted from vehicles in the drop-off zone and twice a month patients might have to be transferred out in an ambulance.

Eastfield Health would also be delivering a service different from historical models in the town, providing the opportunity to use technology to make a difference. GPs would work alongside a wider clinical team and be able to handle higher numbers of patients.

Council’s CBD revitalisation plans attracted 66 submissions, with all but a couple saying the area desperately need a new look.

Plans will include moving the parking restriction in the West Street carpark from 120 minutes to 180, dropping the speed limit from 50km/h to 30km/h, oneway east-bound traffic on Tancred Street and one-way westbound traffic on Burnett Street.

The one-way streets will have parallel parking on the left and angle parking on the right.

drinks, juices and fresh fruit.

Brown said he is not fazed by going alcohol free.

Patting his tummy, he said he obviously liked a few beers, but only drank when he went out socially.

“I will just drink something else,” Brown said.

Property officer Kelly Bisset, who enjoyed a glass of wine most days, and people and capability advisor Jim Henderson, who enjoyed a beer after rugby, both said they would find it a bit of a challenge, but were enthusiastic nonetheless.

“Hopefully there’s some health benefits as well, I might drop a kilo,” Henderson said.

Participants will log progress in a journal, and they will self-report on their levels of sleep, happiness and energy. They may choose to measure health variables such as weight, and Acads will be organising visits from a physiotherapist and their own staff, to talk about triggers and cravings.

Scott said she was seeking another large workplace to come on board and undertake a similar initiative in October, which she has given the quirky name of the OctSober challenge.

And she was on the lookout for other Ashburton workplaces to keep momentum going in what she hopes will be a long-running initiative.

Man charged with McLaren Falls murder appears in court A 36-year-old has appeared at Hamilton District Court yesterday charged with the murder of Ngaruawahia man Mitchell Curtis Rehua Paterson, who was found dead at McLaren Falls in Tauranga more than a week ago.

The Hamilton man, who has been v granted interim name suppression, faces two charges of unlawfully detaining Paterson and murdering him.

Paterson, 26, was found dead in water below the McLaren Falls bridge about 11.30am on Friday 12 July.

The man appeared before Judge Philip Connell. He was remanded in custody and ordered to reappear on 7 August at Hamilton High Court.

He is the second person to be charged in relation to Paterson’s death.

James Lee Green, 27, of Rangiuru in Western Bay of Plenty, earlier appeared charged with being an accessory after the fact to the murder of Paterson by helping dispose of his body in order for another man to avoid arrest.

■ METHVEN RESORT

In brief

Nocturnal break-in bathers given notice

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Pay, or be penalised.

That’s the message for any “cheapskates” planning on helping themselves to the Methven Resort pools following an incident on Saturday night.

Resort staff are currently on the hunt for a group of seven males and females who were spotted breaking in and using their swimming facilities.

Manager Terence Huang said the group broke in at around 10.30pm and hopped in the resort’s spa pools.

They were seen on security footage arriving and departing in a van and drinking their own drinks. The group were also heard playing loud music.

“There’s a lot of travellers, ski people around at the moment so I don’t think they were locals,” he said.

The resort offers its three spa pools and 25-metre lap pool for customer use, but all close at

8pm each night.

Breaking in to use them was particularly unnecessary, he said, as the people could have easily just asked him and paid $5 for a visit.

“It was a bit crazy,” he said.

“The only good thing they did was they cleaned up and took their bottles afterwards.

“They were leaving by 11.00[pm].”

Huang intended to report the break-in to police.

It was the first “invasion” of its kind that he had seen, but other locals said they knew of it happening for years.

Cycling runs hot in CBD revamp Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Councillor Leen Braam does it.

Cr Stuart Wilson does not. Cr Selwyn Price used to do it.

All three had opinions about bicycles and the need for cycle lanes in Ashburton’s central business district (CBD) when councillors deliberated their plans to revitalise the area yesterday.

Cr Braam, with his Dutch heritage, cycles regularly and tuned in to submissions by resident Catherine Kilgour, who suggested council incorporate some European ideas to make the area more encouraging for cyclists. Taking just one car in 10 off the local roads would make a big difference, she said.

The 42-year-old’s body was missing for 11 months before it was eventually discovered inside her Ford Ranger in June last year in Lake Arapuni. Jefferies, 46, was later arrested and charged with her murder. Justice Sally Fitzgerald told the jury of five men and seven women yesterday that the trial will begin today to hear legal submissions.

amazing opportunity to really change the dynamics of our central business area. I hope we are able to make the most of it and develop an environment not only safer for drivers, but where more people feel safe enough to walk or to cycle more often.”

She said Holland had the best truck drivers, the happiest drivers, happiest teenagers and happiest mothers. “So maybe they are worth copying.”

Kilgour said the number of people who cycled to work or school, or to do errands, dropped when safety helmets became compulsory but encouraging people who lived within 2km of the CBD to cycle – through the development of cycle lanes – was worth the money and effort.

Not all councillors were convinced on the need for cycle lanes but a show of hands was in favour of green cycle-safe strips on Cass Street.

Michelle Brett, from the Hakatere Maori Komiti, encouraged council to incorporate more indigenous features in its revitalisation project, including the use of native plants and bilingual signs using Maori and English.

Local Maori stories could also be included.

Health promoters Mandy Casey and Carly McDowell also submitted on behalf of Smokefree Mid Canterbury for a smoke-free policy for the CBD but councillors said more consultation would be needed with the community before it could consider their request.

Beverly Skates, who already volunteers hours of her time picking up litter around the town, said Ashburton was looking tired, untidy and uncared for, “so with the town looking the way it does, no wonder people don’t want to stop”.

She said litter was a huge problem and KiwiRail’s yards were an eye-sore that needed painting or demolishing.

Moving the shunting yards remains on council’s agenda and it is meeting with KiwiRail representatives tomorrow to continuet the conversation.

Railway land on the eastern side of West Street and opposite the Ashburton Art Gallery and Heritage Centre is also seen as an area that could be further developed for car parking.

A Feilding student has suffered suspected spinal injuries during a high school rugby game. The 15-year-old Feilding High School student, who plays for the first XV rugby team, was flown to hospital on Sunday afternoon after suffering a concussion in a game against Napier Boys’ High School.

Sweating it out for Huntington’s fundraiser

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Getting fit and raising money for a good cause has been a win-win situation this month at the EA Networks Centre Gym. Forty women and 35 men have participated in a Huntington’s Disease Association fundraising challenge, organised by gym instructors Jenny Soal and Matthew Roxburgh.

Yesterday three weeks of workouts drew to a close, and Pip Heney and Nicole Jackson were first and second in the women’s, with Jake Edwards and James Kay claiming the places in the men’s.

“I loved the first two weeks, but the rowing was a bit harder,” said Heney after completing the thirdweek rowing challenge yesterday.

Activities in the previous two weeks have included on biking machines, as well as squats, situps and press ups.

Heney said she had enjoyed the workouts, but registration funds going to the Huntington’s association was the highlight.

She had known Soal for some years and her family’s struggles with the disease, so felt honoured to be able to assist.

“It’s not a disease you commonly hear about, so it’s good that we could do something to help out anyway,” she said.

Soal lost her mother to Huntington’s, and has a sister who also suffers from the debilitating illness.

Part of the challenge has

Soal said she was grateful for

the $3600 which had been raised so far, and the Givealittle page for further donations would remain open for another couple of weeks.

“It’s actually really overwhelming,” Soal said of the support she had received so far.

“When I rang the Huntington’s

association to let them know about it, the lady actually cried, they don’t get a lot of help or grants.”

Commissioner appointed to Unitec Unitec Institute of Technology in Auckland has had a Commissioner appointed to address its financial difficulties.

Education Minister Chris Hipkins announced yesterday that he was dissolving the Unitec Council and appointing Murray Strong as Commissioner due to the institute’s need for urgent and significant financial support.

Hipkins said Unitec is facing a shortfall of about $19 million

this year, and $27m in 2019, if no changes are made.

“I believe that a Commissioner is needed to ensure both the Tertiary Education Commission and I have the oversight we need,” Hipkins said.

Strong is also the Governmentappointed Crown Manager at Tai Poutini Polytechnic on the South Island’s West Coast.

“Murray Strong is extremely experienced in working with tertiary

organisations. As well as his role with Tai Poutini Polytechnic, he was the Commissioner appointed to the Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki when it needed one in 2006,” Hipkins said.

“His experience will be crucial to turning around Unitec’s financial situation and putting it on a sustainable path.

“He’s already playing a major role in the Government’s ITP 2020 road map project, which will en-

sure a sustainable and thriving network of institutions of technology and polytechnics around the country.

“This should give real confidence to students at staff about Unitec’s future.”

adviser, who is already in place.

An advisory group will be appointed by the Minister once the commissioner has identified the skills and experience needed to support him in exercising his functions, duties and powers.

■ HARDSHIP

Offers pour in for mother living on $1.68 a fortnight New Zealanders moved by a solo mother’s story of hardship have offered money, gifts and even a holiday.

Children’s charity Variety is facing unprecedented demand for basic items this winter.

Teacher and mother-of-two Samantha – who preferred not to provide her surname – spoke about having just $1.68 to live on each fortnight once her bills and debts were paid.

That often meant eating $1 loaves of bread for dinner to ensure she could cover healthy meals and medical bills for her children, aged 4 and 6.

“You never dreamed to be in this position,” Samantha said.

“I know there’s a lot of people worse off than us and I’m really lucky to have a roof over our head and to provide food. But there’s a lot of Kiwis struggling.”

Variety said it had received a strong response from Kiwis who had read about Samantha’s story.

So far, 24 more children on its waiting list had been sponsored and 75 families had signed up to make donations. There were 400 children on the waiting list as of last week.

The Herald also received offers of gifts, donations and a five-day holiday at Piha camping ground.

Samantha had said she dreamed of having the time and money to take her family to the beach.

Variety, which is appealing for donations from outside its existing donor base for the first time, said it was heartened by the generosity shown by Kiwi families.

Though it would love to pass on all of the gifts it did not have the resources to handle physical items and could not give out families’ personal details for privacy reasons. It recommended making a donation via its website.

Variety is not alone in noticing increased demand from New Zealand families for help with clothing, power bills and heating.

A survey by the Salvation Army released yesterday showed that half of New Zealanders were going without heating because of the cost. One in 10 were using the oven to heat their home.

The survey – which was not limited to Salvation Army clients – also said 37 per cent of Kiwis were skipping meals because they could not afford them and 45 per cent were avoiding the doctor when sick.

National Practice Manager Jono Bell said the figures appeared to be extraordinary, but were consistent with what the organisation was witnessing on the front line.

■ NEW ZEALAND FREEMASONS’ UNIVERSITY STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP

Methven student awarded scholarship

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

An aspiring Methven teacher with “outstanding commitment and ability” has been awarded a $6000 scholarship to fund her dreams.

Rebbeca Graves, currently studying at the University of Canterbury, has been named as the 2018 recipient of the New Zealand Freemasons’ University Student Scholarship.

She accepted the award at an event attended by politicians and university vice-chancellors in the Legislative Chambers of

Parliament Buildings in Wellington.

She is among 36 university students who received a total of $225,000 from New Zealand Freemasons this year – and one of 1162 students over the past 40 years, including Prime Minister Jacinda Adern.

When considering the scholarship entries, judges noted that Graves has undertaken considerable volunteering work as a leader for Horizon Oscars children’s holiday programme and has started team leader training as a lifeguard at the Selwyn

Aquatic Centre. “In this aspect she is placing emphasis on working with visitors whose first language is not English,” they said.

She is currently studying towards a Bachelor of Psychology and plans to also complete a postgraduate diploma in primary education before becoming a teacher.

George Currie of Methven Masonic Lodge said education forms one of the key pillars of freemasonry, and the group has previously given grants to Mount Hutt College and other institutes.

Navy to assist in Lake Wanaka helicopter search A ‘devastated’ Sir Tim Wallis headed to the spot yesterday on Lake Wanaka where his son is believed to have died in a helicopter crash.

This comes as the Royal New Zealand Navy has been called in to help with the recovery of the body of Matthew Wallis, which was believed to be 47m below the surface of Lake Wanaka.

George Wallis told the Otago Daily Times from Hawaii his brother Sir Tim was “absolutely devastated”.

He said Sir Tim was due to make his way out to Stevensons Arm, where police believed they had discovered the wreckage of the helicopter belonging to his son.

George described Matt as “very energetic” and his loss would leave a “big void”.

The 39-year-old was the only person on board a helicopter that crashed in Lake Wanaka on Saturday afternoon.

The Police National Dive Squad

arrived in Wanaka on Sunday and have found what they believe to be the wreckage about 47 metres below the surface of the lake.

“We have asked for the Navy’s expertise and specialist equipment, which can operate in deeper waters.

“A team of Navy underwater search specialists is due to arrive in the area later this afternoon to liaise with Police and make an assessment of the scene,” a spokesperson said yesterday.

Matthew’s brother Jonathan Wallis said he remained determined to bring him home to his 5-year-old son Arthur and wife Alice.

“He’s a wonderful father to his son Arthur and a very good husband, if not a little challenging at times too, to his wife Alice.”

Jonathan Wallis spoke to the New Zealand Herald just moments before heading out for day three of the search.

“At this stage the thoughts re-

ally haven’t gone to remembering him, the focus is on finding him.”

He said his 39-year-old brother was one of kind who had affected a lot of lives.

“He had a very wide circle of friends and colleagues. He was a good mix of his mother and his father and is very good at what he does.”

In a Facebook tribute Jonathan Wallis said: “I miss you already and will never ever forget you”, and promised the family would take care of his wife and son.

Detective Sergeant Derek Shaw said the area was under a severe weather watch on Saturday and police no longer expect to find Wallis alive.

“We have now transited into a recovery phase and we do not believe that the pilot is still alive,” he said on Sunday.

Police, LandSAR, Coastguard boats and police divers have been searching for Wallis since he went missing.

■ Add another dash of oil to the frying pan and place in the beef, in batches, and brown on both sides. Transfer to the casserole dish as you go. Pour the coconut milk and water into the frying pan and allow to bubble up. Add the lime juice, sugar, bay leaf and fish sauce. Stir to combine, then pour over the beef.

■ Place on the lid and place in the oven to cook for 1 hour. Remove from the oven, taste for seasoning and add the potatoes. Cook for a further 1 1/2 hours until the beef is almost falling apart.

■ To serve: Serve Massaman beef curry topped with the peanuts and parsley. Add a bowl of cooked rice.

OUR VIEW

Spotlight on residential assistants I

was 16 years old and being shoved into a wardrobe when I had my first (sort of) encounter with a University Residential Assistant (RA).

I had been staying at my brother’s hall of residence at Victoria University in Wellington – and he’d forgotten to sign me in as a guest. The RA for my brother’s floor was meandering his way down the corridor, and I absolutely didn’t want to be seen, according to my brother’s floormates.

He was a “pretty grumpy, pretty weird” guy, they explained once the corridor was clear and I was free to disentangle myself from the printed long-sleeve tops and puffer jackets.

That RA, along with the many I would subsequently meet during my own first year at Victoria Uni-

versity’s Weir House – and hundreds of others at halls around the country – are now the subject of concerning new claims.

University of Otago RAs have spoken out via a student magazine saying they are overworked, underpaid and completely illequipped to deal with a torrent of mental health issues from their residents. And I can’t see that being far from the truth.

As I recall, the opportunity to become an RA wasn’t without a great amount of allure. After

a year of unlimited heating and constant companionship at my hall of residence in 2014 we were facing *shudder* the real world of flatting, bills and cooking every meal (and as the cherry on top, a serious shortage of flats in Wellington).

Hope came with a pamphlet offering steady income alongside our studies, discounted (crispy warm) accommodation and a hefty addition to the skills section of our LinkedIn CV. At the end of the second year we were again presented with the same alluring pamphlet, an exacerbated Wellington flat shortage and a supposed greater chance of successful application.

But the realities of the job, described by my friends who became RAs and by my own RA towards the end of his con-

tract, isn’t so nifty. The dynamics between RA, resident and responsibility appear incredibly cumbersome.

RAs are challenged to build rapport with their residents as a fellow student while simultaneously enforcing completely antistudent rules like 10pm-silenttime and having to tip out any bottles of spirits they encounter.

They are introduced to students as a mentor to confide in despite (allegedly) a measly amount of mental-health training – and bucket-loads of their own university stress to deal with.

It’s kind of a matter of pretending you know what you’re doing while feeling really awkward, my RA confessed in his final week working. He openly admitted he didn’t like the job.

And in retrospect, it seems my brother’s RA had every reason to be a bit of a weird, grumpy bloke.

But with both the realities of the RA job and the ‘torrent of mental health issues’ in mind, it would seem that universities might be missing a substantial opportunity for improvement.

Studies have indicated stress, depression and anxiety to be rampant among Kiwi students – particularly first years. There are urgent calls for better mental health resourcing – including more trained counsellors on hand to help from somewhere within the university system.

Somewhere like the halls of residence, perhaps.

Is rethinking the RA system – and bringing in counsellors, not students, not the perfect place to start?

Plans are afoot to turn the wool industry around so it can bounce back from its current crisis.

Summit puts wool action high on the agenda I

t’s understandable that out in the regions there is probably a fair degree of cynicism over the Wool Summit that happened in Wellington last week.

I can almost hear the calls of ‘talk-fest’ and ‘we’ve been down this path before’ from here.

But I can honestly report the industry reps who walked into that venue on Monday morning left feeling a helluva lot more optimistic that our wool industry can bounce back from its current crisis.

And it’s not an exaggeration to call it a crisis: when the costs of treating for fly and lice, crutching, insurance on the woolshed, shearing and so on exceed – or are at best break-even – with returns, we’re in deep trouble.

The summit could be regarded as the last roll of the dice. If we don’t turn things around in the next few years, particularly with strong wool returns, the next time meat prices take a dip the exodus of sheep farmers into dairy grazing, bull beef, cropping, etc, could swell from the current trickle to a flood.

The summit drew 40 or so

Miles Anderson FROM THE FARM

representatives from all the major industry players – Cavalier, PGG Wrightson, Merino New Zealand, Wools NZ, CP Wools, etc – and there was pretty much immediate consensus that whatever our response, it needed urgency.

A working group has been formed, and a plan of action is being drawn up. Two priorities are the need for a co-ordinated effort on better telling the ‘wool story’ in our overseas markets and in New Zealand, and tackling the shearing workforce dilemma.

Wool’s time should be right now. With all the concern around the world about environmental issues, the interest in natural products rather than oil-based synthetics, and wool’s

hard-wearing, flame-retardant, non-allergenic properties, sales should be riding high. But in New Zealand we lack an overarching, co-ordinating body to tell that story, with a brand and an impetus that the myriad individual companies and wool innovators can leverage off.

That’s the group we’re going to form now.

Our other looming problem is around our ageing workforce and attracting new, keen and able people into the industry.

In many respects the answer to that conundrum is closely tied to telling wool’s story in a compelling and co-ordinated way.

If all people read about is wool returns being down in the dumps, it’s hardly an inducement for new industry entrants to pick up a shearing handpiece.

The shortage of shearers this year all over New Zealand has highlighted our future vulnerability. We’re nowhere if we can’t get the stuff off the animals’ backs.

With Te Ako Wools’ training falling over, the Wool Harvesting

Industry Partnership’s talks with the Primary ITO (the same body with whom Feds set up the new dairy apprenticeship) are a firm priority.

Another indication of the seriousness and focus farmers are putting on action is the decision by delegates to the Federated Farmers national conference in June to investigate the worth of a wool levy to fund industry-good initiatives.

Read that word again – “investigate”. No commitments at all have been given, just recognition that the potential for a levy to help turn things around deserves thorough scrutiny before we put it to farmers for a ‘yay’ or ‘nay’.

I think we’re going to see some momentum on the issues besetting our wool industry. It was Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor who called last week’s summit. He’s rolled up his sleeves and shown willingness to get to work on this too.

Dogs need to be restrained

Duncan and Lorna Humm with Isla.

PHOTO SUPPLIED

Farmer Fast 5: Duncan Humm Proud to be a Farmer’s Claire Inkson asks farming identities five quick questions about what agriculture means to them. Here is what Mt Somers Deer farmer Duncan Humm from NZ Farming had to say.

– How long have you been farming?

My apprenticeship in farming began as early as I can remember, I come from a family of five so family and farmlife were one.

Straight out of school I have worked in ag my entire career.

– What sort of farming are you involved in?

We farm red deer at Mount Somers, Mid Canterbury.

Main focus is on venison, with a small velvet herd.

– What makes you proud to be a farmer?

Seeing happy, healthy deer out in the paddocks, as a result of all the work we’ve put into providing them all they need to reach their potential.

– What do you love about your job as a farmer?

I get a massive kick out of the challenge of managing all the variables we’re up against to get the results we do, as well as seeing what we sell go to markets where the end consumer appreciates the quality

that comes from our efforts.

I love and appreciate the opportunity I’ve had to grow up on the land and now giving our daughter a rural upbringing. One of the things I love the most is serving up our own venison to family and friends, to see them enjoy something we’ve grown from the soil all the way to the BBQ and plate.

– What advice would you give to the next generation of farmers?

Work hard but play harder.

Do something every day that scares you.

Dogs will soon have to be restrained when travelling on the back of utes on public roads.

The move has come as part of a review of all animal welfare regulations over the past two years.

In a paper initially proposing the regulation, the Ministry for Primary Industries said the owner of a vehicle, or the owner or person in charge of a dog transported on the open deck or trailer of a moving vehicle on public roads must ensure it is secured in a way that prevents it from falling or hanging off.

“This proposed rule reflects an existing minimum standard in the Dogs Code of Welfare 2010, which states that except for working dogs at work, dogs must not be carried on the open rear of a moving vehicle unless they are secured or enclosed in a crate.

“This rule also reflects NZTA guidelines on the transport of

dogs on the deck of a vehicle.”

There would be an exception for working farm dogs unsecured while working, eg helping move livestock along a public road, “to ensure a common and accepted practice is not unfairly restricted by this regulation”.

Federated Farmers spokesman Miles Anderson, told Mike Hosking on Newstalk ZB yesterday morning that having dogs unrestrained was standard in sheep and beef circles.

He hoped common sense would be used when enforcing the rules.

Anderson said dogs didn’t need to be secured on public roads, but the move had obviously been made to reduce the risk of injury to the animal.

Offenders could be fined up to $900 after rules come in from October, it has been reported.

Deer farmers gather Around 100 deer farmers from all around the South Island are expected at a deer technology expo at the Hotel Ashburton on Friday.

The expo showcases technologies and tools that make farming more efficient, save time and help with compliance.

Organiser Lorna Humm said the technologies provided more information to farmers so they could make better decisions and achieve more.

Around 30 exhibitors will attend the expo, which is be-

ing run by Deer Industry New Zealand with support from the Canterbury West Coast Branch of the New Zealand Deer Farmers’ Association Over the day speakers will cover technology and information that will enhance the performance of deer farming operations.

Farmers will also be able to talk one-on-one with technology providers about on-farm solutions, business, health, genetics, feeding, environment and more.

The quandary with food production One of the issues current food producers have is trying to satisfy a number of masters.

The New Zealand pork industry is a classic example.

The general public requires that pigs are reared in what are perceived to be systems that meet animal welfare requirements and many consumers desire pork that has been reared in a free-range environment.

These aims to produce a more ethical food come at a cost to the producer.

Canterbury has the largest number of free-range pork farms in the country and, while not the largest pork producing region, it is up there.

Since 2000, per capita consumption of pork has gone from 13.39kg up to 18.06kg in 2017. So, given a roughly 40 per cent increase in consumption you would think pork producers would be smiling.

However, at the same time that consumption has been going up, imports of pork are climbing also.

In 2012 Kiwis were consuming roughly 55 per cent domestic and 45 per cent imported pork, whereas now it is more like 38 per cent to 62 per cent.

Imported pork costs about $4.50 per kg (mostly as frozen pork). When a quick browse of the supermarket shelves is done unbranded pork, most likely imported, retails at $6.99 on special, whereas domestic free-range is $16.99 (also on special).

So why can’t New Zealand producers compete? New Zealand has the least agricultural subsidies of any developed country in the world, whereas the meat we let in with minimal tariffs have significant subsidies protecting farmers from loss of profitability and generally most of these countries have lower/cheaper standards of welfare for their animals.

These countries, also in the main, have protectionist barriers against imports coming into them.

The Canadian milk industry is a classic example. And it is only going to get more difficult for New Zealand producers. Freerange pork which the public desire, be it at a higher cost, has a very heavy nitrogen foot print.

The consumer wants the sows outside in a natural environment, but with no environmental consequences.

Increasingly the supermarkets are becoming the conscience of the consumer and, for example, are moving to stock only

free-range hens’ eggs.

Will the supermarkets then move to stock only free-range meats? To be consistent they should, but this will mean limiting imported pork.

This will suit producers who practice free-range farming, but it will mean that to enjoy a cooked breakfast, consumers will be paying a lot more.

As with a lot of imposed choices, it will be those who can least afford it who will suffer the most.

Ethical food production is an admirable goal, but it needs to be extended beyond our shores and the ethics also need to come from their politicians as well as farmers.

A final irony with pork – in 2013 the pork industry, despite much lobbying, failed to overturn MPI’s decision to allow raw pork into New Zealand regardless of the risk of PRRRS, a respiratory disease.

Australia allows no fresh imported pork in as they consider the risk to be too high. Given the issues with mycoplasma bovis and the kiwifruit decision, it may be timely to reconsider this.

Sheep A lifting in the schedule on both lamb and mutton from some of the processors.

In the saleyards prices are holding well with top prime lambs achieving up to $205 and prime mutton getting to $230.

In-lamb ewes are coming through now and, given the prime price, appear to be relatively sound buying getting up to $250.

Wool Christchurch held its first wool auction for the season, but prices were disappointing with a 3 to 5 per cent drop.

All categories, apart from the finer classes, were well down.

Prices would have fallen more if it wasn’t for the high level of lots being passed in, 45 per cent on the day.

Beef Manufacturing classes achieved lifts also.

Bulls achieved small lifts, while the processors were more generous with cows. Prices in the saleyards are holding on small yardings.

■ VIRGIN AUSTRALIA

Aussies take up real Kiwi beef cause

Virgin Australia has hit back at Air New Zealand’s “Impossible” no meat burger, pledging to take the best Kiwi beef and serve it on their own flights.

In a call to Kiwi meat producers, the Australian airline wants to create an “udderly delicious bespoke dish” to be served up for passengers on all flights from New Zealand into Australia.

In an ad on social media, Virgin Australia say it is one of New Zealand meat’s biggest fans.

“You’ll probably never believe it, but over the Ditch lies one of New Zealand’s biggest fans. They go by the name of Virgin Australia,” the ad says.

“And New Zealand, they want you. Well, more to the point – they want your meat.

“Your farms are producing some of the best quality meat in the world. So, Virgin Australia wants to ‘meat’ New Zealand’s best meat producers to create an udderly delicious bespoke dish to be served on board flights from New Zealand to Australia.”

In its caption to Facebook, Virgin poked fun at the Air NZ “impossible burger” saying about its

The move comes in response to Air New Zealand’s decision to serve up its “impossible burger”, a plant-based meal as part of its Business Premier menu on flights NZ1 and NZ5 from Los Angeles to Auckland until late October.

is an iron-containing molecule called heme, which comes from the roots of soy plants and is the same as the heme found in animal meat.

The result is a plant-based burger patty that cooks, smells and tastes like beef but contains no animal products.

Air New Zealand’s in-flight customer experience manager Niki Chave said the plant-based option tasted just like the real deal.

“We’re confident vegetarians, flexitarians and dedicated meat lovers alike will enjoy the delicious taste.’’

It appears not everyone is a fan of the impossible burger though, with one Kiwi saying Virgin’s stance is a big “up yours” to Air New Zealand.

“Great move Virgin Australia stick it up Air NZ with their lab made vegan meat.”

Got what it takes to make the cut? Virgin asks.

“Steak your claim by emailing gotbeef@virginaustralia.com and telling us your story in 200 words or less of why your meat should be selected. Chur!”

The Warehouse confirms up to 140 full time jobs to go The Warehouse has confirmed between 120 and 140 full-time jobs will be lost in its latest restructure.

The NZX-listed retailer said the move involves the first change to its leadership structure in 15 years.

Warehouse head Pejman Okhovat said the restructure would deliver a number of benefits.

“The new leadership structure will deliver a number of benefits to team members and therefore customers, including increased staffing levels at peak times, better leadership support during trading hours, improved sick and holiday cover and better-defined career pathways for team members,” Okhovat said.

“Retail and customer behaviour

is changing like never before, so we need to evolve from a traditional, hierarchical structure to one that is fit for the future and the ever-shifting needs of Kiwis.”

The job losses will be spread between The Warehouse’s network of 92 stores and impact supervisors and team leaders.

The retailer said it would look to redeploy as many of those employees into other vacant roles throughout the business.

Earlier in the month, The Warehouse floated cutting 180 jobs, in a redundancy proposal said to be developed by a group of working store managers.

Retail consultant Chris Wilkinson said at the time that the move

was necessary for the retailer to move in line with its competitors.

“The Warehouse has likely been labouring under a legacy store management model for some time – comparative to others in this sector and similar major brands overseas, many of which have undergoing this process of realignment,” Wilkinson said.

“Reducing layers creates greater accountability, more autonomy and drives performance. “[This] will likely let their best talent shine, but be challenging for those not at the top of their game.”

Analysts say the layoffs could steady the retailer’s decline in profitability.

Art dealer buys storage locker for $22,000, finds rare treasures A New York City art dealer who bought the contents of a New Jersey storage locker filled with paintings for $NZ22,000 says he got more than he bargained for.

He found half a dozen paintings he believes were done by artist Willem de Kooning, whose works have sold for millions of dollars at auction.

The New York Post reports David Killen bought the contents of the locker last year.

Killen said he wasn’t impressed with what he initially saw but decided to take the gamble nonethe-

less. After going through the contents of the locker, he came across a series of large boxes labelled de Kooning.

The paintings were originally from the studio of art conservator Orrin Riley, who died in 1986, and his partner, Susanne Schnitzer, who died in 2009.

The paintings aren’t signed, but Killen reached out to an expert who’s confident they were done by de Kooning, an abstract expressionist from the Netherlands who moved to the United States and died in 1997.

Gunman on a rampage Toronto police say multiple people have been shot and two are dead, including the shooter, after a gunman opened fire in the Toronto neighbourhood known as Greektown.

Toronto police chief Mark Saunders told a news conference that 15 people were shot in the incident, including the shooter.

A woman was killed and the suspect died after an exchange of gunfire with police, a short while later. A young girl is in critical condition, according to police, CBC reported.

Toronto mayor John Tory said the shooting took place on a “very peaceful part of the Danforth” and that the community is in shock.

“It’s almost inconceivable that these things can happen,” he said.

The mayor said he believes Sunday night’s shooting is “evidence of a gun problem” in Toronto, CBC reported.

“Guns are too readily available to too many people,” Tory told reporters during a news conference two hours after the shooting took place.

Last week, Toronto police implemented the enforcement component of its “gun violence reduction plan.” That includes some 200 additional officers on shift in particular neighbourhoods between the hours of 7pm and 3am — when most shootings occur.

Earlier, CP24 reported: “A large swath of the area has been blocked off as emergency crews respond to the scene.”

Unconfirmed reports said a number of people had died.

Local reporter Jeremy Chohn tweeted: “Victims are spread across many blocks”.

A witness who was standing near the scene told CTV that he heard about 20 shots and the sound of the weapon being reloaded repeatedly.

“And then, I saw the carnage as I ran down the street here to kind of follow the gunfire,”

Obsessed with Love Island Margot Robbie loves reality television. The 28-year-old star might be busy conquering Hollywood as a successful actress, but she admits she always finds time to settle down and watch her favourite shows, especially UK reality programme Love Island, which sees hopeful singles enter a villa in the quest to find the perfect romance. She said: “I won’t know what to do when Love Island finishes. I mean, what will I watch? It’s literally the most addicting thing on TV ever. We have dedicated our summer to watching those guys. We are going to miss them.”

A police officer escorts a civilian away from the scene of a shooting yesterday in Toronto.

the man told the station, who described the scene as “pretty crazy.”

“I saw at least four people shot,” he said.

Jody Steinhauer told CBC News she was at Christina’s restaurant on the Danforth with her family when she heard what sounded like 10 to 15 blasts of firecrackers.

She said she was told to run to the back of the restaurant.

“We started to hear people scream out front,” Steinhauer said.

Steinhauer said she was told that four to six people were shot.

Witnesses told CityNews that they heard up to 25 gunshots.

One resident has uploaded a video to Twitter in which shots can be heard ringing out.

“Holy sh*t! The shooting on the danforth happened right in front of my place,” she wrote.

“I was watching a movie and all I heard were gun shots … so scary.

“I don’t feel safe in Toronto anymore, not even in my own neighbourhood.”

Police were called to reports of shots being fired near Brass Taps Pizza Pub in Greektown, BNO reported.

“I heard shots followed by sirens a couple of minutes later near Chester station,” Zaid Zawaideh said.

Canadian Broadcasting

Corporation spoke to Andrew Van Eek, who lives in the area, about the shooting which Toronto police have now labelled a mass causality event.

Van Eek says he stuck his head out the window after he heard the gunshots ring out.

“There was a lot of commotion in the street,” he said.

“I saw somebody come just down the sidewalk and shoot into Demitri’s restaurant.”

He described the suspect as a white male, in his late to early 30s, who was dressed in all black.

Police have yet to provide a suspect description.

“It was terrifying,” Van Eek said.

Lohan getting real Lindsay Lohan’s kept a relatively low profile in recent years, but that’s all about to change. Bunim/Murray Productions, the entertainment giant behind reality TV franchises such as the Real World and Keeping Up with the Kardashians, has inked a pact with the 32-year-old actress for her to star in her own reality series.

The programme will showcase the redheaded actress as she presides over the Lohan Beach House, her new Mykonos, Greece resort. The reality show will be marketed as ‘a cooler, hipper, edgier Vanderpump Rules,’ a source said.

‘Beatles’ Isis militants will stand trial in US Britain will allow two notorious members of the “Beatles” group of Isis militants to be sent to the US, the Daily Telegraph reports.

The UK has abandoned its blanket opposition to the death penalty and Guantanamo Bay, the newspaper says.

The Daily Telegraph reports that documents show that the Government has agreed to hand over intelligence to help prosecute Alexanda Kotey and Shafee El-Sheikh in US courts.

The men both held British citizenship, though the newspaper says it has been reported

Alexander Kotey and Shafee El-Sheikh that this has been secretly revoked by ministers.

Britain’s Home Secretary Sajid Javid tells US Attorney-Gen-

eral Jeff Sessions in a letter that Britain will not demand assurances that the pair will not be executed in the US.

Other documents say that Britain will not formally oppose the pair being sent to Guantanamo without trial, although the Daily Telegraph says a Home Office source said the Trump Administration had been warned against that move.

The notorious Isis cell was behind the beheadings of US journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning, and US humanitarian worker Peter Kassig.

It also held more than 20 Western hostages.

Feud set to be ongoing Kathy Griffin has gone into detail about her feud with Ellen DeGeneres. During her Laugh Your Head Off world tour show in Los Angeles, the red-headed comedian explained how she tried to reach out to the talk show host after Joan Rivers’ death in 2014. “One of the things that really hurt Joan was that Ellen thought she was vulgar and not funny,” Griffin said. “I just called Ellen and said, ‘Look, woman to woman, comic to comic, I think you need to let go of your hatred for Joan. She’s passed away, just do a f***ing tribute, be cool.” But Ellen replied, “There’s a difference between mean and funny,” and wasn’t willing to change her opinion.

“That f***ing set me off,” Griffin said.

Revisiting Tekau Knitwear Ltd O

n March 22, 1972, the Ashburton Guardian ran a seven-page feature to celebrate the opening of the refurbished and extended Tekau factory. This week we are republishing an excerpt from that feature that helps tell the story of this important business. It is just a tiny snippet from the story of Tekau, which is told in more detail in Ashburton Museum’s new exhibition, Tekau: Don’t be Dull.

– By Ashburton Guardian, 1972

Beginnings “The history of Tekau Knitwear Limited dates from 1931, when Mr and Mrs Frank McIntosh commenced the manufacture of knitted garments in their home. The first equipment was a 10-gauge flat bed knitting machine and the word “tekau”, which is Maori for the numeral 10, was adopted as a trade name.

A branch factory was opened at Timaru in 1944. This was primarily engaged in the manufacture of cotton interlock fabric for the underwear trade and, secondly, for the making up of knitted outerwear from fabric, knitted in Ashburton. The company’s head office was also established at Timaru at this time.

In 1947 substantial additions were made to the Ashburton factory and a considerable amount of new plant was purchased, including full fashioned knitting machines. A modern dye house was established and new boilers were installed.

In 1954 the firm of Rutherfords, of Dunedin, was purchased and in the following year this plant and equipment was transferred to the Ashburton and Timaru factories.

In 1956 the Ashburton factory was further extended to house additional full fashioned plant and in 1957 a factory was opened in Christchurch. In 1959 a new warehouse was erected in Ashburton and a contract let for the erection of a 40,000 sq. ft. factory at Theodosia Street, Timaru.

In the same year a coarse gauge full fashioned knitting machine was installed at Ashburton to increase the diversity of this plant.

Additional dyeing plant was also installed to cope with the increasing demand for the company’s products.

Additions In 1960 extensive additions were made to the Ashburton factory. In the early 1960s a further full fashioned and circular knitting plant was purchased and dyehouse operations extended.

A new yarn store was erected at

Ashburton and the new factory building at Timaru was completed in November, 1961.

The world-wide upsurge in demand for double knit fabrics has been the most spectacular advance in the textile industry for many years. Tekau began the manufacture of these fabrics in 1960 and the double knit division at Timaru is now a very important area of the company’s operations.

Tekau today is one of the leaders in the field in the double knit operation in this country and

produces double knit fabrics in wool, acrylic, wool acrylic mixtures, crimplene textured polyester and wool-polyester mixtures.

The production of one-way stretch frenchelle double knit fabric has been very successful and the company has the sole New Zealand production rights for this fabric. This was achieved through an association with Sydney based French Knit Pty Limited, the inventors of this revolutionary knitting process.

Jet dyeing Further plant is being introduced in 1972 and will give additional capacity in finer gauge knits and multi-colour jacquard patterns.

A new jet dyeing machine is being installed at Ashburton and this gives perfection of dyeing in all types of double knits including light weight synthetics.

Tekau double knits are marketed through Snow Rainger Limited, the Auckland based textile house whose representatives

give expert coverage to the whole of the New Zealand market. The association with Snow Rainger Limited began in 1961.

The company began the manufacture of garments from its own double knit jersey fabrics in 1963 and a small proportion of the production from the double knit section is now utilised each season in the production of an exclusive range of women’s dresses, suits and slacks.

Proposition In 1968 the company began a very extensive programme to extend capacity in the double knit fabric section at Timaru.

In August 1969, the company received a take-over proposition from the Waitaki Farmers’ Freezing Company Limited, and Tekau is now the principal subsidiary in the Waitaki group.

The association with Waitaki will ensure that Tekau continues to hold a leading place in the

textile industry in New Zealand and further afield.

In the 1969-70 years additional properties were purchased in both Timaru and Ashburton and the Timaru factory was extended to provide additional space for the garment sections. In July, 1970, factories were opened at Rangiora and Oamaru to provide the additional labour requirements necessary to service the increasing demand for the company’s products.

More machines Developments in 1971 included the installation of knitting machines for the production of stockingette fabric for the freezing industry and cleaning trade.

The company has had some success in the export field with garments being sold to Australia, Norfolk Island and Asia. A representative is currently showing products in Australia, the Pacific area and the US.”

With the Pyrenees looming, Geraint Thomas had his last calm ride wearing the yellow jersey at the Tour de France yesterday.

The Welshman’s rivals for cycling’s most prestigious prize, which include team-mate Chris Froome in second place, mostly held back over the hilly Stage 15 with a decisive final week of racing ahead.

Thomas kept the overall lead for a fourth consecutive day before the race pauses for riders to rest today.

That break will precede a stretch in the Pyrenees that will feature three mountain stages before an individual time trial on the Tour’s penultimate day.

“There are three big, big days left, and then the time trial, so (I) just take each day as it comes and we will see what happens,” Thomas said.

Thomas maintained his advantage of 1 minute, 39 seconds over defending champion Froome. Tom Dumoulin, the world time trial champion, remained third at 1:50 back. Primoz Roglic was fourth at 2:38 behind and Romain Bardet 3:21 behind in fifth.

With Froome seeking a fifth Tour title, Team Sky has yet to declare its current top option for the title since Thomas won back-to-back summit finishes in the Alps. - PA Collegiate RFC: Ashburton Crane Hire v Celtic RFC: Blacklows White Coll 2 1:00pm Southern: Progressive Livestock Andrew Robins v Celtic RFC: Blacklows Celtic Green Hinds 3 1:00pm Under 9 Methven White Methven Black Meth 4 1:15pm Rakaia Hampstead Blue Rak 4 1:00pm; Southern: Harcourts Ash Real Estate Collegiate Cates Grain & Seed Hid 4 12:00pm; Southern: Quigley Contracting Celtic Blacklows Hind 4 1:00pm Under 8 Methven: Black v Collegiate Johnson Gluyas Tractors Methv 4 1:15pm; Methven: White v Allenton Rugby Football Club: Under 8 Meth 4 12:15pm; Mt Somers v Methven: Red Mt Somers 1:15pm; Rakaia v Tinwald RFC: u8 Rak 4 12:00pm Southern: Four Seasons Treecare v Celtic McCrea Painters & Decorators G Hinds 3 12:00pm Under 7 Methven: Black V Allenton Rugby Football Club: Under 7 Meth 1A 1:15pm; Methven: White V Hampstead: Hampstead Methv 1B 1:15pm Rakaia Rugby Club: Rakaia v Tinwald RFC: under7 Rak 2A 12:15pm Southern: Riverlea Ag B V Celtic RFC: Summerfield Builders W Hinds5B 1:30pm Southern: Hayden Mackenzie Contracting R V Celtic RFC: Finishing Company G Hinds5B 12:45pm Southern: Coleman Ag W V Collegiate RFC: R Redpaths Hinds5B 12:00pm Under 6 Methven: Black v Collegiate RFC: Cranfield Glass Red Methv 1A 12:30pm Methven: Red v Celtic RFC: Anderson Joinery G Methv 1B 12:30pm Methven: White v Tinwald RFC: under 6 Methv 5 12:30pm Mt Somers Rugby Football Club: Mt Somers v Collegiate RFC: McIntosh Group Gold Mtsomers 12:30pm Rakaia Rugby Club: Rakaia v Celtic RFC Anderson Joinery W Rak 2B 12:15pm Southern: James Doyle Contracting B v Allenton Rugby Football Club: Maroon Hinds 5A 1:30pm Southern: Agspread R V Allenton Rugby Football Club: Gold Hinds 5A 12:45pm Southern: Busch Joinery W v Celtic RFC: Summerfield Builders Red Hinds 5A 12:00PM Sunday 28th July Town v Country Under 13 Celtic 1: 100pm Under 11.5 Celtic 2: 12:30pm Under 10 Celtic 4: 1:00pm Under9 Celtic 4: 12:00pm Under 8 Celtic 1A 12:00pm

In brief Phoenix spending up Wellington Phoenix coach Mark Rudan is hoping to eke the best out of two former Socceroos after signing Mitch Nichols and David Williams. The A-League veterans are the first Australians Rudan has lured to the Kiwi club and the first players with attacking intent. Midfielder Nichols, 29, was without a club after one of his less productive campaigns last season, scoring one goal in 13 appearances for Perth Glory. Striker Williams, 30, is leaving the Hungarian top flight after spending almost three seasons with Haladas.

Muscat eyes Honda Melbourne Victory coach Kevin Muscat has confirmed his interest in signing Keisuke Honda as the A-League club inches closer to a marquee deal with the former Japanese international. Honda has been on Victory’s radar since his name emerged in May on a six-player shortlist of potential big-name recruits drawn up by Football Federation Australia.

The 32-year-old, who retired from international duty after the World Cup in Russia, has been in negotiations with the A-League champions ever since.

■ FOOTBALL

United seals the deal They may have already had the title in the bag, but Mid Canterbury United didn’t ease off the gas in their final Mainland Football division two championship match on Saturday.

Mid Canterbury United took on the second-placed Burnham FC Bobcats at the Ashburton Domain on Saturday and knew they’d have a fight on their hands, but they were determined to maintain their unbeaten record for the season, and they did, winning 9-3.

With only 11 players though, and strong winds buffeting the grounds, it wasn’t an easy 90 minutes.

Mid Canterbury United elected

to play with the fierce winds at their backs in the first half and it proved to be the right call, with Eddie Kettle opening the scoring from a well struck free kick outside the 18-yard box.

Jordan Lugg followed that up with another shortly after with a strong run from the right flank finished off with a well-placed shot.

Lugg scored two goals in the win, with his second coming in the 58th minute, while Luke Martin had a strong game and bagged a hat-trick, as did Darren Cavill from left half.

Mid Canterbury United coach Marty Fitzgerald said Sam Willis played the full 90 minutes at

attacking mid-field and caused havoc for the Burnham defence all day.

Mid Canterbury United led 4-1 at half-time, but Fitzgerald didn’t want his side easing off.

He asked for a strong 15 minute defensive tactic, having the play into the fierce wind, and asked his side to use width on attacking plays.

It proved to be a success, with a strong defensive backline seeing the side through, and Jack Dudley putting in a man-of-thematch performance at right back.

After the game, Fitzgerald praised his side for a strong performance and an outstanding season, to go through unbeaten.

Mid Canterbury United finished up a whopping 17 points clear of Burnham at the top of the table, with a goal difference of 61, thanks to 75 goals for and just 14 against.

Mid Canterbury were so far ahead they had already wrapped up the championship title weeks ago, but now they’d start afresh in the division two cup competition – a straight knockout competition.

Having won the Mainland Football division two competition this season, Mid Canterbury United had earned themselves promotion and would next season contest the division one competition.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Raiders not blaming the referees Canberra players are taking ownership for their crushing NRL loss to Cronulla, rather than blaming costly errors from the referees.

Forward Elliot Whitehead and halfback Sam Williams believed a poor first half, as the Raiders trailed 22-6 at the break, was more the problem for Friday night’s defeat that all but ended their finals hopes.

Canberra’s 10th loss of the sea-

son was followed by referees boss Bernard Sutton phoning coach Ricky Stuart to acknowledge incorrect decisions were made.

The Sharks were awarded a try and the Raiders disallowed one late in the match on the back of blunders in a game Canberra lost by four points.

Stuart was livid with how his team fared, blasting the NRL for bigger issues he claimed had led

to fans turning away from the sport.

But at a recovery session yesterday, Whitehead and Williams says the team is already focused on keeping their mathematical chances of playing finals alive.

It doesn’t get any easier for the Raiders as they travel to Melbourne for a clash with the Storm.

“After the game people were speaking about the calls and it’s

a bit tough to take in that aspect but we realised we can’t just blame it on the referees,” Whitehead said.

“The game’s over, the points are with the Sharks so we can’t really worry about the referees and what they’re going to do.

“I know they go out there and try not to make errors, so it’s not as though it’s something conscious they’re trying to do.” - AAP

Sam Burgess will call Robbie Farah this week to check on his health but he insists he won’t need to clear the air between the pair.

Burgess was put on report but wasn’t charged after he flattened Farah on Saturday, and followed it up with a spray as he told him to get up. Burgess said he would check back in with his former team-mate this week. “I’ll give him a call during the week to make sure he’s okay but I’m sure he’s alright,” Burgess said.

Bulldogs re-sign Martin Canterbury have delivered their fans some much-needed good news, confirming the re-signing of forward Rhyse Martin for one more year at the Bulldogs. A bright spot in an otherwise dour year at Belmore, there were concerns their salary cap position would prevent the club from keeping the up-and-coming star. However chief executive Andrew Hill put those to bed yesterday, after the 25-yearold put pen to paper on a contract that will keep him at the club in 2019.

Milford has regrets Brisbane star Anthony Milford regrets pulling the hair of Penrith NRL forward Corey HarawiraNaera, saying the “heat of the battle” got the better of him.

Milford was charged with contrary conduct and fined $1150 for the incident, which occurred in backplay in the dying stages of the Broncos’ 50-18 thumping of the Panthers at Suncorp Stadium on Friday. Milford then ran away as an angry Harawira-Naera chased after him while his Panthers team-mates continued to attack. Josh McGuire was also caught on camera tugging at Harawira-Naera’s curly locks earlier in the game but escaped punishment. “I apologised to him after the game and spoke to him,” Milford said. “It was heat of the battle emotion and it just happened”.

■ RUGBY SEVENS

Sevens double-act New Zealand winger Akuila Rokolisoa took the offload from Trael Joass and split two English defenders.

Seconds later he was somersaulting over the tryline with the ball, but he might as well have been carrying the Melrose Cup. New Zealand rolled past England 33-12 yesterday with a performance that featured speed, strength and a stout defence to repeat as Rugby World Cup Sevens champions and become the first three-time winner of the tournament.

The All Blacks Sevens players ripped off their shirts but kept their gold medals on for a celebratory post-match haka on the same field where the Black Ferns won the women’s competition less than 24 hours earlier.

The results meant back-toback World Cup doubles for the New Zealand teams.

“We were really proud of the girls how they played those two days,” New Zealand men’s sevens captain Scott Curry said.

“It’s awesome to kind of simulate what they did earlier and go back-to-back for the first time ever.

“It’ll be good to go home with two World Cups, that’s for sure.”

Super Rugby’s try titans are proving attack is definitely the way to go in their competition. The surviving semi-final teams were the tournament’s four highest tryscorers and point-scorers heading into the finals and the only ones to average more than four tries a game. In an era when coaches across the football codes seem to place as much – if not more – emphasis on defence, it’s a comforting stat for rugby administrators, as the sport battles for a share of the winter sports marketplace. - AAP

Sevens Sisters celebrate The Blacks Ferns Sevens team celebrated their second World Cup title by talking rugby and having a few vodka shots after making history on Sunday. Star winger Michaela Blyde scored a hat-trick in the final as New Zealand took out the tournament with a 29-0 win over France in the final. Blyde said the team made the most of the celebrations. “We celebrated hard last night, that’s for sure but what Kiwi wouldn’t do that after such an awesome win that we had last night?” she said.

Defence key for Lions Akuila Rokolisoa produces a spectacular somersault to put the finishing touches on the All Blacks Sevens World Cup victory.

Rokolisoa’s try with less than a minute left pushed New Zealand’s advantage to 14 points and Joass’ try on the final movement

was merely an exclamation point to the match and the beginning of the celebration.

Kurt Baker posted a cheeky

photo of the team celebrating on Instagram. “Winner winner chicken dinner.” Baker said. “Unreal year with an unreal squad!- NZME

Molinari tames the golfing giants

By Darren Walton Francesco Molinari can barely believe he’s Italy’s first major champion after staring down Tiger Woods and holding off a cast of golfing giants including Rory McIlroy and defending champion Jordan Spieth to win the British Open.

Playing alongside the resurgent Woods, Molinari carded a nerveless final-round two-under-par 69 to win the Claret Jug by two shots from McIlroy (70), English hope Justin Rose (69) and faltering American third-round joint leaders Xander Schauffele (74) and Kevin Kisner (74).

With a brilliant birdie at the last and no bogeys all weekend, 35-year-old Molinari’s eight-under 72-hole total of 276 eclipsed Padraig Harrington’s Carnoustie tournament record score from 2007 by a stroke and kept some of the sport’s biggest names at bay.

“It’s just disbelief.

“To look at the names on that Claret Jug, obviously, what can you say? It’s the best golfers in history and to be on there, it’s incredible,” Molinari said.

“From someone like me coming from Italy, not really a major golfing country, it’s been an incredible journey.”

Molinari missed the cut at Royal Birkdale last year and also when the Open was last staged at

Offence carries the day

But the world No.15 was the hottest player on the planet when he arrived in Scotland last Monday for his 11th Open tilt, having won twice and finished second twice in his past four starts.

“I knew I was coming in with some good golf,” Molinari said.

“My record around here was terrible, so that didn’t make me too optimistic.

“Obviously playing with Tiger

was another challenge because of the crowds and everything.

“But I felt really good this morning. When I came here, I felt I was ready for the challenge.”

Bidding for his first major in 10 years, Woods hit the outright lead midway through a fascinating final round before a doublebogey on the 11th and bogey on the 12th cruelled his hopes.

The 14-time major winner eventually signed for a 71 and a

share of sixth at five under with fellow American Kevin Chappell (73) and “hungover” Englishman Eddie Pepperell, who enjoyed the clubhouse lead for two hours after a last-round low 67.

Spieth, who started the day in a three-way share of the lead with Kisner and Schauffele, crashed with a 76 to wind up equal ninth and have his quest to become the first back-to-back champion since Harrington a decade ago emphatically ended.

For much of the afternoon it looked as though everything was falling into place for Woods to pull off one of sport’s great comebacks and land his first major win since the 2008 US Open.

Birdies at the fourth and sixth took Woods to the turn in 34 and with the leaders crumbling, the 42-year-old had a one-shot lead over Molinari and Spieth, who double-bogeyed the sixth after hitting his second shot into a gorse bush.

But when Woods came unstuck and Spieth collapsed, Molinari seized the moment with two birdies in the last five holes to deny the fast-finishing Rose and McIlroy a play-off.

Molinari hopes his victory inspires children across Italy to take up golf, just as Costantino Rocca made him want to pick up a club when he made the 1995 play-off at St Andrews.

Coach Swys de Bruin believes a strong defensive effort from the Lions in their Super Rugby quarterfinal will give them a solid foundation when they take on the Waratahs in next weekend’s semifinal. The Lions beat the Jaguares 40-23 at Ellis Park to keep themselves on course to reach the final for a third successive year but not before producing some stout defending to hold the Argentine side at bay. “I thought at stages our defence was great,” De Bruin said after Saturday’s success in Johannesburg.

Savea eyes return Ardie Savea may yet turn up at AMI Stadium for the Canes on Saturday.

Savea has made impressive progress returning from his high ankle sprain, and the coaching staff have been coy about his chances of making the team, after he trained well yesterday. Attack coach Jason Holland suggested that Savea was a real outside chance to make the trip to Christchurch.

Fox on a good run It’s fair to say July has been a pretty good month for Kiwi golfer Ryan Fox. Following his career best finish at a major yesteday, when he finished 39th at the British Open, he took his earnings this month to $1,576,000 in prize money over four tournaments. The amount is mainly due to a second placing at the Irish Open which brought a payday of $1,149,000. The following week he finished sixth at theScottish Open earning another $310,000.

Suns in massive upset Gold Coast captain Steven May is hopeful the Suns’ enormous upset of Sydney has prolonged the stay of team-mates thinking about bailing on the struggling AFL club.

May was still buzzing yesterday following the side’s SCG triumph that snapped an 11-game losing run and was rated as one of the biggest AFL boilovers in the last decade.

■ SENSIBLE PRINCESS

Fresh for the Tarzino Talented mare Sensible Princess may go into next month’s Gr.1 Tarzino Trophy (1400m) without a lead-up run.

And that’s not a scenario that trainer Fraser Auret is fazed about.

“She’s doing terrific and her first trial was sensational and then she’s had a very quiet one at Waverley, we didn’t let her head go there as it was very wet,” he said.

“We have got an option to get a run into her before Hastings.

“She’ll have another trial at Foxton on August 1 and then decide, but it wouldn’t worry me to run her first-up in the Tarzino.

“She came in early and the weather will influence what we do. She could go into Hastings fresh, she’s quite forward at this stage.”

Sensible Princess has won six of her 10 starts and hasn’t raced since she beat Francaletta and Coldplay in the Gr.2 Auckland Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes at Pukekohe in the spring.

The Street Sense mare also holds Hawke’s Bay nominations for the Gr.1 Windsor Park Plate (1600m) and the Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m), as does stablemate Darscape Princess.

“Darscape Princess is looking great and I’m chuffed with the way she spelled,” Auret said.

Valuable point for Hartley Kiwi Brendon Hartley earned his second point in Formula 1 at the German Grand Prix yesterday while Lewis Hamilton took advantage of a Sebastian Vettel error to win the race and take the lead of the championship.

Hartley produced a sound drive in his Toro Rosso and took advantage of some late race rain and a safety car intervention.

He briefly held ninth spot but was passed by a car on fresher tyres in the closing laps while he managed to hold off a charging Kevin Magnussen to secure his second points finish of the season.

Ferrari’s Vettel had control of the race for the most part but made an uncharacteristic error on lap 52 when he locked up and ran off the track and out of the Grand Prix from the lead.

That brought out a safety car with light rain throwing team strategies into chaos.

Some opted for wet or intermediate tyres while others braved the conditions on slicks.

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

WordWheel

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Negative talk is like a computer virus – a little bad information that has the potential to corrupt the whole system. You’ll avoid the dynamic by talking about what’s true and what’s positive.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): It can be very frustrating to see the result you’re going for in your mind and tolerate the fact that you’re not there yet.

Try to be more like the butterfly – relaxed and willing to let nature do its thing.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): They’ll look to you for support you’re not sure you’re qualified to give. But it’s not like that. All they need is your ear. You won’t be expected to deliver a verdict or react in any particular way, just to listen with love.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You may think you deserve or need hard love, but if you bring some softness to the way you deal with yourself, you’ll get better results. Don’t say anything to yourself you wouldn’t say to a five year-old.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Unlike the newborn fawn that can stand up within the first 10 minutes of life, humans take time to learn just about everything. Furthermore, they can’t learn alone.

You’ll find your educational counterpart today.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Chance is on your side, but that’s no reason to roll the dice, flip the coin or let the chips fall where they may. Take control of your own fate. Take a chance on you. Risk on your own best, most scientific guess.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The one who you can be silly with is essential to your life, even though this person may not be someone you should also consult about certain other things. One person won’t fit every role.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You feel generous, though it’s not always so easy to find people who can really use what you have to share. Don’t give it to just anyone. Do some research.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Can you overthink it?

Sure. You’ve already invested more thoughts than you need to. That’s OK. Now is as good a time as any to move on. Trust that some problems are best solved by not thinking.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Strike a balance with your communication. Be direct and specific about the things you really need to happen.

But keep the mystery alive on topics that don’t directly concern the other person.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): So much of your action comes from a belief about yourself and an intention to operate in the world according to that belief. Examine your feelings about you.

Can they be more supportive? More loving?

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): No matter how clear, concise, articulate, relatable and thorough you think you’re being, people will always come up with their own interpretations. So just say it like you want to say it.

Slade cleans up on court Christchurch’s Simon Slade has added another Mid Canterbury squash title to his name, after winning the Ashburton Squash Open at the weekend.

Slade defeated Cromwell’s Caleb Madden in the men’s open grade final at the Ashburton Squash Club’s annual tournament, with Nathan Coll from Christchurch finishing third.

In the women’s open section, Katrina Palmer was the hot favourite and she didn’t

disappoint on her home turf, taking out the title over Andrea Naylor, with Ashburton’s Aleisha Stoddart third.

The second women’s grade contested, the women’s A grade, was won by Chris Lima, with Kacee Flannery the runner-up and Donna Brown third, while the women’s B grade was won by Emily Vanderweg, ahead of Tamzin Smith, with Beth Giles third.

In the men’s A grade Logan Ahlfield

came out on top, with Agustin Maunier the runner-up and Carl Johnson third, while the men’s B grade was won by Mitch Sim, with Jake Bremner second and Brad Going third.

Bryan Ford won the men’s C grade title with Justin Lobb the runner-up and Mark Kennedy third, while Isaac Bazley won the men’s D grade with Justin Quaid second and Nick Swift third.

The men’s E grade title went home with

Phil Pavletich, with Ivan Brown runner-up, and Matt Parsons finishing third, while the men’s F grade was won by Grant Brookland, with Lachie Jemmett the runner-up and Michael Vanderweg finishing third.

Players were now preparing to head back to their usual winter league matches this week, while another local squash club, the Collegiate Squash Club, was set to host its annual tournament over the weekend of August 3 and 4.

Mid Canterbury United seals the Mainland deal
