Yee-haa – Wild rodeo fun entertained the crowds in Methven yesterday.

7000 flock to rodeo

An eye on the ball P24

Cowboys hit the dust one after the other under a hot spring sun at the Methven rodeo yesterday.

A crowd of about 7000 people from throughout Canterbury and further afield cheered and gasped as the action played out.

St John personnel were kept busy throughout the day, treating competitors for bumps and bruises, and one 18-yearold open bull rider was transported to Ashburton Hospital in an ambulance in a moderate condition.

Methven rodeo president Tom Plunkett won the open bare back event, on Waimate bronc Tonto, the horse itself a champ after having been named buck-

ing horse of the year four times.

The 24-year-old said he was happy with his ride, and it was an improvement on Winchester on Saturday where he placed fourth.

“I was a little bit rusty,” he said.

He was now aiming for more rodeo points throughout the season and hopefully making it to the national finals. He had achieved a top four placing in the nationals previously, but took last season off.

The season after this one he would be back to serious competing and “chasing hard” the prospect of a national win.

He said the secret to doing well in bare back was simple.

“You just lift on your rigging, lean back and enjoy it,” Plunkett said.

The weather had been perfect, sunny

but not too hot, and was probably responsible for crowd numbers being up by about 1000 on last year.

The crowd had been well behaved and enjoyed the event, and Plunkett thanked sponsors and the rodeo committee for their hard work.

“It ran smooth as, it ran like clockwork,” Plunkett said.

Announcer Craig Wiggins kicked off afternoon events with a comment relating to the controversial issue of animal welfare.

“If you read social media, people will tell you we don’t respect our animals,” Wiggins said.

However, rodeo riders and organisers respected animals more than most, and people from urban areas attending rodeos helped bridge the rural-urban divide.

■ CELLPHONE COVERAGE

New cell towers help coverage

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It might be a long, slow process, but the drive to improve cellphone coverage in rural Mid Canterbury is making significant progress, says Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew.

A new cell tower has been built in Methven and is part of a project that has seen 34 new cell towers built across rural New Zealand.

As part of that, Mid Canterbury was seeing significant benefits, she said.

A new Methven cell tower is

helping rural Mid Canterbury enjoy better cell coverage “The new cell tower at Methven has led to better local cell coverage, and mobiles can now be used where there was previously no coverage.”

In rural areas cellphones were not just another form of communication, they were a business tool that helped drive economic development. Good coverage enabled rural Mid Canterbury to take part in the digital economy, Goodhew said.

“It’s also essential for emergen-

cy situations and makes personal life more convenient for people living and working in remote areas.

Spark and Vodafone won a Government contract to build the towers as part of National’s commitment to deliver the best possible telecommunications infrastructure to New Zealanders.”

The programme has added 3825 square kilometres to the country’s cell network, and more towers are scheduled to be built in coming years, she said.

“Improving rural connectivity

is a priority for the National-led Government. The project is complemented by the Government’s Rural Broadband Initiative, and both programmes are helping boost Mid Canterbury’s local economy and supporting our rural community.”

The government’s initiative runs alongside a project undertaken in the last local government term by Canterbury mayors to improve 4G coverage and to increase options for improving the roll out of fibre into rural Canterbury.

Stadium back on the table New Auckland Mayor Phil Goff wants to make an early start on a $1 billion stadium on railway land alongside Vector Arena.

In an interview with NewstalkZB’s Tony Veitch, Goff said he does not want to spend an estimated $250 million on upgrading Eden Park over the next 15 years and believes the spiritual home of rugby and cricket could be sold for as much as $300m.

Goff stressed the council did not have up to $1b to invest in a new stadium right now but if the council did not start planning it would miss the boat.

The mayor said private investment would be required and he hoped the Government might also provide some funding towards the project.

There was only one suitable site left in Auckland which could be home to a longmooted CBD stadium, Goff said, and that was the railway land next to Vector Arena.

In brief Car hits power pole A young man was lucky to not be injured when his car hit a power pole on the Methven Highway on his way to work at about 6.40am yesterday. Methven Volunteer Fire Brigade spokesperson Brent Anderson said the man was travelling to Ashburton when his car hit the pole near Methven. It broke in half and his car would have been a write-off. The driver escaped the wreck and was on his feet by the time emergency services arrived. St John attended but the man did not require an ambulance. EA Networks replaced the pole later that morning.

Quad bike crash One person is dead and another is in hospital following an overnight quad bike crash near Taupo.

Emergency services were called to the crash in a bus reserve on State Highway 41, near Kuratau, at about 1am yesterday. Three people were on the bike when it rolled down a bank and into a stream, a Greenlea Rescue Helicopter spokesperson said. One person died at the scene while a 28-year-old woman was flown to Rotorua Hospital with moderate injuries.

■ ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

Horses get certified for show Equestrian competitors had a final opportunity to measure the height of their horses and ponies last week, ahead of this weekend’s Ashburton A&P Show.

And Murray Campbell, an old hand on the measuring stick,

was on the job to measure them.

Ponies are judged in three height categories and exhibitors are required to carry an identification certificate, which includes the height of the animal, measured at the wither (shoulder), and a performance card.

While life certificates can be obtained for older animals, young stock entering the ring must be measured twice yearly.

In Ashburton’s case this is once prior to the show season commencing and again in January.

A child found dead at Auckland’s Piha Beach did not not drown but died in an accident, police say.

The child was reported missing on Saturday afternoon but was found dead at the north end of the beach shortly afterwards by search teams. Police overnight confirmed the death was not a drowning, but said it was the result of a “tragic accident”.

Sculptors preparing for symposium

BY SUSAN SANDYS

Left – More sculptures will soon be adorning the Ashburton Domain when the second symposium kicks off, organised by Brent Holley.

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Forty tonnes of shapeless stone will be transformed into artwork at the upcoming Ashburton Stone Sculpture Symposium.

The first symposium, held two years ago, culminated in 250 people following around an auctioneer and pieces fetching from $500 to just over $6000.

This year’s event is shaping up to be even more successful with more sculptors on board.

Organiser Brent Holley said he had had to turn some sculptors away. However, in future years he hoped to further develop the event and attract international sculptors as well.

Mt Somers limestone and Timaru bluestone will arrive at the Ashburton Domain on Friday before sculpting kicks off the next day, and runs until November 11.

The auction will be held as part of a family fun day in the domain on November 20.

Holley is himself among the 15 sculptors and is looking forward to using a more forgiving stone than his last sculpting venture, which was at the New Zealand Hard Stone Symposium in New Plymouth. The stone was Taranaki Andesite.

The tools he took were not

good enough and he ended up having to forge extra out of 4WD torsion bars gleaned from a scrapyard.

“The learning curve was just straight up,” Holley said.

“I ended up finishing two pieces which both sold at auction, which is great,” he said.

Holley began carving stone five

years ago and holds the Ashburton symposium with no official funding, although has secured a $1500 Creative New Zealand grant this year and is happy for the support of others, including the Ashburton District Council, Rooneys, the Acland family and Ashburton Art Gallery.

He hopes it will become self-

funding in future.

Sculptors would be coming from throughout the country. They were Jocelyn Pratt, Rory McDougall, Ruth Killoran, Debbie Templeton-Page, Rex O’Brien, Trevor Nathan, Alan Axten, Tai Meuli, Anna Korverr, Allen Harnett, Jackie Margaret, Moira Crossman, Davey McGhie

and Oriah Rapley.

The council has contributed $500 for a People’s Choice Award winner. At the first symposium’s auction, the council bought four pieces for the Ashburton Domain, and another was bought by a family in memory of a lost member and donated for display in the domain.

Cycleway loses its way

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton’s inner town cycleway is a project that has started, stuttered and finally ground to a halt.

The urban cycleway was originally planned to traverse the greater Ashburton town centre from the Tinwald Green through to the North East Business Park off Northpark Road.

It was developed as far as Moore Street, but stalled while

the Ashburton District Council tried to come up with an acceptable route through the West Street carpark.

And then the EA Networks Centre was thrown into the mix and council contracts manager Brian Fauth said the impact of this facility on cycling patterns needed to be assessed before any decisions were made.

The centre has now been in business for about 17 months but

the cycleway project is no closer to coming back to life. And that has everything to do with a combination of a lack of community urgency and funding, Fauth said.

“This is still something we want to do and have to do, but there’s been no real impetus to get it going.”

The cycleway was part of hundreds of projects that involved both local authorities and the national organisation – the New

Zealand Transport Agency – and like all projects in and around state highways, moving from idea to reality was never easy, he said.

The focus for NZTA was on major work on state highways and for Ashburton that meant the Walnut Avenue intersection with State Highway 1 and the Tinwald corridor project.

“Walnut Avenue is on the programme – at some stage. It did

What is my property worth?

have a date but it’s slipped out from the last long-term plan to the next one. It should be done in the next three years, but who knows,” Fauth said.

The Tinwald corridor project was still on the radar but appeared to be a slow-burner, he said.

‘The business case has been presented and now it joins the queue, it stands in line on the national minor works list.”

■ MENTAL HEALTH

Greens call for mental health inquiry Young people are waiting months to get mental health follow-ups after asking for help and a government inquiry into the sector is urgently needed, the Green Party says.

But the government says the figures are the same as they’ve been for years and work is already being done.

DHB figures show nearly 3300 children and youths – or 26 per cent of all youth cases – had to wait longer than eight weeks to get a second appointment after seeking help in the 2014-15 year, Fairfax Media reports.

Green Party Co-Leader James Shaw said those numbers proved an urgent inquiry into the mental health sector was needed.

“Mental health services are struggling all around the country because of government cuts to the overall health budget, and our vulnerable young people are paying the price,” he said.

“New figures released by the coroner last week show that New Zealand has the highest youth suicide rate in the OECD, and I think it is unacceptable for young people to be waiting this long to get the help that they need.”

The Ministry of Health says it has increased funding for mental health services by about $300 million since 2008 – from $1.1 billion in 2008-09 to 1.4 billion in 2015-16.

But opponents say increasing demand in the sector and inflation mean the budget has actually fallen in real terms.

Health Minister Jonathan Coleman said he didn’t agree there was a need for an inquiry.

“Overall the sector provides high quality mental health ser-

Jonathan Coleman vices for New Zealanders – from prevention, through to primary care and specialist services,” he said.

He said nationally, the percentage of child and youth patients waiting more than eight weeks had not significantly changed in the past four years and the government still expected urgent cases to be dealt with within 48 hours.

“Nationally 91 per cent of cases are seen in less than eight weeks,” he said.

The government was currently evaluating the cross-agency Youth Mental Health Project set up in 2012.

But Dr Coleman said suicide rates were too high.

“Suicide rates have remained consistent in recent years when you look at the population as a whole: 12.32 per 100,000 this year is lower than 12.65 in 201011,” he said.

The government had put $25 million behind a suicide prevention plan in 2013 and was currently working to develop a new strategy, he said.

RISING STARS

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 181016-TM-0080

Already a sports fanatic at nine

By Noah Graham

noah.g@theguardian.co.nz

If there is a sport mentioned it is highly likely nine-year-old Angel Spooner is trying her hand at it.

The Hampstead School student has a list as long as her arm when it comes to sports she has played and she practices them as often as she can.

Angel said jazz dancing, tennis, swimming, miniball, futsal, gymnastics and athletics – yes, that does include shot put, discus, sprints, long distance, high jump and long jump – are all on her sporting resume so far and that resume continues to grow.

The reason for playing all these sport is simple; she loves playing them and it keeps her fit and healthy.

“A lot of kids sit inside and watch TV, I’m not allowed so I go and play sports with grandad.”

Every weekend Angel and her grandad, John Speedy, can be seen running around the school field, on the courts shooting balls into the nets, with a racket in hand and undertaking a myriad of other activities.

When she is not at the school in the weekends, Angel travels up to Christchurch or down to Timaru to train with and compete against different clubs for athletics which she “loves to do”.

Angel said she enjoys the time spent with her grandad who helps her train as often as he can.

Hampstead School principal Peter Melrose said he often saw Angel and her grandad training together and it was great to see both get into it.

Right now, heading into the summer season, Angel’s favourite sport is tennis.

“I like serving and acing the

ball.” On Saturday Angel played eight matches of her favourite sport in the under 10 singles and doubles at the Ashburton Trust Junior Open.

Tennis is still her favourite sport right now, but there is one other sport always in the back of her mind – rugby.

Angel said she loved rugby despite the fact her nan would rather she did not play tackle.

However, Angel still plays rippa, touch and turbo and one day hopes to be like her idol Jonah Lomu who she thinks was “great”.

Angel was not just content with tennis for the long weekend, she also spent her time doing duathlon and triathlon training, she said.

Playing the different sports also allowed Angel to meet other students her age from schools other than Hampstead, she said.

Harvard calls Ashburton home

BY COLIN ENGELBRECHT COLIN.E@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

O

ne of only eight or nine working Harvards in the country calls Ashburton Airport its home.

The aircraft, first built in 1942, has been kept in Ashburton for the past three years.

The Harvard, also known as a T-6 Texan, was a twoseater training aircraft used during World War Two. It was in service with the New Zealand Air Force until 1977, the planes were then sold off to private owners.

While Kevin Langford, who is an aircraft mechanic for Air New Zealand, looks after the Harvard, it is owned by a friend who lives in Halswell .

Langford said when the Harvards went on sale from the air force, this one was purchased and kept in Auckland, where it was painted in original American Navy colours.

He said it was a part of the Roaring Forties Team which flew vintage aircraft at air shows.

It was then purchased by a group from Queenstown in the 90s, which is when Langford first got involved with the plane.

He said he bought a share of the plane, something that is common with aircraft ownership and started flying it.

The aircraft in Ashburton is one of only eight or nine airworthy Harvards in New Zealand.

The plane is powered by a supercharged, radial, nine-cylinder Pratt and Whitney motor which puts out approximately 600 horsepower.

Langford said the engine sucks up about $450 worth of fuel per hour of flying, however, it cost considerably less when he learned to fly in the 90s.

Aside from a newer radio, the plane is still original, Keven Langford stands next to the Harvard, also known as a T-6 Texan, which was a US training plane designed in the 1940s.

Spring into Christmas attracts 18 artists

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Blank walls at the Short Street Studio were transformed as 18 artists hung their creations late last week.

They came from throughout Mid Canterbury and further afield in order to prepare for the Ashburton Society of Arts’ Spring into Christmas exhibition, which opens tomorrow.

There are landscapes, still-

life, nature studies and abstracts, in mediums including water colour, pastel, acrylic, oil, mixed media and collage.

All are for sale and range in price up to $700.

Convener Ngiao McKee has been overseeing seasonal exhibitions at the studio since they began in 2011 and was thrilled with the collection of works being brought in for this latest exhibition.

“It’s just lovely to see so many different sorts of work,” she said.

“Leading up to Christmas it should be very popular I think.”

Guests are Prebbleton awardwinning artists Gray and Lyn Leonard.

The exhibition opens tomorrow for members at the society’s annual meeting, and then will be open to the public 10am to 3pm, Saturdays and Sundays,

and on weekdays when the sign is out.

The exhibition will run until early December.

The opening precedes another society exhibition at the studio, the 30/30 Challenge.

Work from about 12 artists will be on display November 5 and 6.

These were created during a society challenge for members to produce 30 pieces in 30 days.

Common sense needed Susan Sandys

SENIOR REPORTER

T

he rodeo circuit has kicked off for the year, with events at the weekend – Winchester on Saturday and Methven yesterday.

So the season of wild west action begins, but at the same time we need to prepare ourselves for protests from animal activists, calling for a ban on the sport.

“If you read social media, people will tell you we don’t respect our animals,” announcer Craig Wiggins said as the open events for the afternoon began yesterday.

But to people in the crowd it was obvious the animals came off a lot better than the riders, with many cowboys flung high before biting the dust, and some appearing to limp rather than walk their way out of the arena.

In the Guardian each year we cover the bringing in of the rodeo horses, stories which show the animals do in fact have pretty good lives. They have been given second chances after failing domestic life due to their renegade natures, and get to roam the countryside year-round before being rounded up as their rodeo duties beckon.

At the rodeo, after just a few seconds of successfully bucking their riders off, they dash around the ring with the pick-up horses and their riders who guide them back into the pens. It was apparent to crowd members yesterday that they appear healthy, and responsive to good handling from the humans looking after them.

They do not appear distressed or frightened, and there is a vet on-site.

Admittedly calves in the calf roping event don’t look too happy as they run like the clappers while a cowboy chases and lassos them, and then gets off his horse to tie them up. But this just lasts a few seconds before they are set free to run off to the pens to be with all their calf friends.

No doubt there are horror stories, and there will be animal injuries and deaths from such events.

It is to prevent incidents like this that there are strict animal welfare rules around rodeo events. Sheep riding at rodeos has been banned, and other rules tightened up.

This is a layer of legislation on top of the common sense that most rodeo organisers and competitors already display.

And talking about common sense, it is obvious that rodeos are fun outdoor events where families can view some excitement firsthand, and young riders can participate in challenging activities.

Banning them would not make sense at all.

Freezing works I reply to Martin Laffey 21/10. Martin is absolutely right, there are two sides to every story.

Management has attempted to pressure Fairton employees into accepting less than their contractual obligations regarding the calf contracts.

The union has informed membership of management’s contractual obligation and intent regarding the calves and they have rejected management’s proposals.

The membership was told exactly what management was offering and how that would impact on them and they rejected the offer.

The accusation that people on their last legs just want redundancy may have some validity, but the union representatives want Fairton to remain a viable works to continue offering employment to the people of Ashburton at reasonable wages and conditions.

If Martin believes that the union needs to change all he needs to do is put his name forward as a delegate or whatever, and accept the pressure from management and members, self-sacrifice, and criticism that comes with the job, I am sure the other members of the Board of Control would welcome his input if the membership will vote for him.

Ashburton growing as a community M

ost people living and working in the Ashburton District would believe that this is a growing district.

An Infometrics annual profile of the Ashburton District for the year ending March 2015, commissioned by the Ashburton District Council, has been released and it confirms how well the district is growing.

The report makes for interesting reading and gives a good oversight of how the Ashburton District ticks. I thought I would share a few highlights with you.

The district’s GDP was up 5.9 per cent for the year to March 2016 against the year before, employment is up, our population is up and house prices have risen, all signs of a growing district.

Average GDP growth over the past decade has been 2.7 per cent. The 2015 result is the fourth highest since 2001. Dairy farming has led the charge with the industry posting a 12 per cent growth rate for the year

and contributing 1.95 per cent of the district’s 5.9 per cent GDP growth.

Employment in the district averaged 18,311 for the year and was up 2.6 per cent from the year earlier and ahead of the national growth rate of 2.3 per cent for the same period.

The largest employment sector in the district is dairy farming with meat processing, other agriculture support services, supermarkets and grocery stores, primary education and hospitals following on behind and rounding out our top six employment sectors.

Government, through www. business.govt.nz, works to help employers taking on new em-

ployees with a number of tools and supports. One such tool is an employment agreement tool.

Use of the tool has grown rapidly and currently one employment agreement is being completed every 12 minutes.

Economic growth inevitably leads to more employment which adds to pressure for housing and as would be expected Ashburton’s house prices have risen.

The average current house value in the district for the year ending March 2015 was $330,714 and while this was a rise of 5.4 per cent on the previous year it was a weaker growth rate than that for New Zealand nationally. For the same year the average national house value was $495,168, a rise of 6.8 per cent.

The 5.4 per cent rise in the 2014-15 year for Ashburton pales into insignificance against the turbulent days of 2007 when Ashburton house prices rose 20.3 per cent before slumping to -4.1 per cent in 2009.

Ashburton’s population growth over the 2014-15 year came mostly from natural increase which totalled 200, while net migration accounted for 160 people. People aged 15 – 64 make up 62.5 per cent of the Ashburton population while 16.9 per cent are aged over 64 years.

If you want to read more detail included in the Infometrics report, it can be found on the Ashburton District Council website.

A&P show coming up I am looking forward to this weekend’s Ashburton A&P Show and hope it will prove, as it has in the past, a good opportunity to catch up with lots of constituents and many of those involved in the business of farming or supporting it.

Train crash kills 70

A derailed train with coaches on their sides in Eseka, Cameroon.

Authorities in Cameroon rushed more than 600 injured people to hospitals in the country’s two main cities yesterday in an effort to save lives a day after an overcrowded train derailed, killing more than 70 people.

Bodies remained strewn along the tracks as rescue workers searched for more injured or dead. The injured were being taken to hospitals in the capital, Yaounde, and the port city where the train was heading, Douala, officials said, as the president declared a national day of mourning.

“My sincere condolences to the families of the victims of the derailment” of the Camrail train,” President Paul Biya said. About 70 people died and 600 were wounded, he said, and the cause of the crash was being investigated.

The local hospital had been overwhelmed, with only about 60 beds,

said transport minister Edgard Alain Mebe Ngo’o.

“I am calling on everyone to double efforts to save the lives of the injured,” Ngo’o said.

Eseka is about 125km west of Yaounde.

Rescue workers and medical staff at hospitals put the death toll at 73, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not permitted to speak to the press about the issue. State radio reported more than 75 dead.

The train had been carrying about 1300 passengers, instead of its capacity of 600. The passenger load was higher because a road had collapsed due to landslides following heavy rains between Yaounde and Douala.

The 30-year-old railway line and train could not carry the load, officials said.

Body retrieved from opal mine

Titanic locker key sells at auction

Police and firefighters have dug with their hands to retrieve the body of a 62-year-old man from a collapsed trench at a shallowcut opal mine in Central West Queensland.

Emergency services were alerted at around 4pm on Saturday after a friend visited the remote site between Winton and Jundah to find the opal miner’s car there but no sign of him.

It took emergency crews six hours to reach the site where police and firefighters used their hands to dig through two metres of rubble before retrieving the man’s body.

Police said the cause of the collapse was unknown at this stage but there were no suspicious circumstances.

Workplace Health and Safety and the Department of Mines and Energy will be advised of the incident and police will prepare a report for the coroner.

A small, corroded key for a locker on the Titanic has sold for £85,000 ($NZ145,191) at a British auction.

The key was used by Sidney Sedunary, 23, from Shirley, Southampton – a third-class steward and one of the 1500 passengers and crew who died when the passenger liner hit an iceberg in April 1912.

The “exceptionally rare” item, which was expected to fetch £50,000, was sold at auction by Titanic memorabilia specialists Henry Aldridge & Son in Devizes, Wiltshire, along with hundreds of other items from the doomed vessel.

The key, which is attached to a brass tag stamped “Locker 14 F Deck”, is believed to show Sedunary worked on the F Deck on the night which the Titanic sank – despite it being flooded.

It was sent to his pregnant wife Madge after his body was recovered and remained in the family until the sale.

Other lots included a postcard written on board the Titanic by chief wireless operator Jack Phillips which sold for £19,000.

Phillips stayed at his post to send distress messages as the ship sunk and is believed to have drowned.

Albert buys US house The Philadelphia home where Oscarwinning actress Grace Kelly grew up and accepted a marriage proposal from Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1955 is now in the hands of the royal family. Her son, Prince Albert of Monaco, has confirmed to People Magazine that he was the recent purchaser of the six-bedroom, 2.5-storey Colonial home in the city’s East Falls section. He said in an interview on the magazine’s website that the house is “very special to our family.” He said he was happy to have saved it “from a near certain death or development”. Real estate agent John O’Connell of Elfant Wissahickon Realtors said the home sold for $US754,000 ($NZ1,052,000). The prince told the magazine he planned to visit Philadelphia this week as he considers plans for the home. “We’re still trying to figure out what we’re going to do with it,” he said.

California’s calming pinot pocket

The extravagant Bridlewood winery is one of almost 1400 stops north of Santa Barbara specialising in pinot noir.

R

elationships and a weekend away in wine country go together like a rib-eye and cab-sav - one generally follows the other, and the results often lead to an out- of-this-world experience.

This is no different in the sun-drenched vineyards of Santa Barbara, on the central coast of California, which shot to fame after the 2004 movie Sideways, in which two middle-aged men take off on a week-long road trip through the region.

In the surprising box office hit, two-time Golden Globe winner Paul Giamatti plays a wine aficionado and depressed alcoholic who dampens the sexual adventures of his soon-to-be-married friend, played by Thomas Haden Church, at every turn of their bucks weekend away.

Think The Hangover, wine-glass style.

“He just wanted to get laid,” laughs Adelaide-born winemaker Matt Steel, who admits a number of Australians have visited his Santa Ynez estate after watching the comedy-drama.

“The film actually irritated me because of the lead, Miles (Giamatti). I just thought anyone could relate more to his mate. But someone needs to do a study into it because it really put this place on the map.”

Steel’s extravagant Bridlewood winery – imagine a Pablo Escobarstyle mansion complete with faded red tiles, white walls and a mini-horse track out the back – is one of almost 1400 stops north of Santa Barbara specialising in pinot noir.

Despite lying closer to the equator than any wine region in Europe, the varietal springs to life in the Santa Rita hills due to the rocky coastline that funnels cool air from the Pacific ocean.

First planted there in the 1970s, many now consider the five viticultural areas of Santa Barbara, including Santa Maria valley, Santa Ynez valley, Santa Rita Hills, Ballard Canyon and Happy Canyon, as producers of the premier pinot noir in the country.

“It’s thin-skinned, temperamental, ripens early. It’s not a survivor

like cabernet, which can just grow anywhere and thrive even when it’s neglected,” Giamatti attempts to explain to Haden Church in Sideways.

“No, pinot needs constant care and attention. And in fact it can only grow in these really specific, little tucked away corners of the world.”

This is why, after arriving in Los Angeles with the intention of bringing the Adelaide Hillsrenowned shiraz from Australia, Steel has entrenched himself as a pinot noir grower in the States.

After just two years, he considers Santa Barbara home.

“I was coming here twice a year to promote Australian wines and we were set on shiraz,” he said.

“I came back and I thought, ‘we need to get into the pinot.

Everyone was asking about pinot.

Do you make pinot in Australia?

Pinot, pinot, pinot’.”

Much of Sideways focuses on Haden Church’s love match, a small-town waitress out of local watering hole Hitching Post – the cottage pub that attracts most of

today’s tourists to Santa Ynez.

If you really want to impress your significant other with your taste in food, then Italian treat SY Kitchen is a must. It boasts gnocchi alla salsiccia to die for, and the similarly-salacious grilled rack of lamb imported all the way from New Zealand.

But beware of smooth-talking chef Luca Crestanelli – his knowledge of five different languages, as well as his not-so-classic tiramasu, can sweep your partner away before you can say, “bill please!”

But at the end of the day, it’s the pinot noir you’re here for – the perfect wine for this beautiful pocket on America’s western seaboard.

And if grown to perfection, the results can be climactic.

“Only the most patient and nurturing of growers can do it, really,” Giamatti says in the movie.

“Only somebody who really takes the time to understand pinot’s potential can then coax it into its fullest expression.

“Then, I mean, oh its flavours –

Big runs, big wickets in T20

By Noah Graham

noah.g@theguardian.co.nz

Round three and four of the Ashburton T20 Open Grade continued the excitement from last week with both high and low totals chased and defended last Saturday.

Allenton started round three off well with an impressive 172/4 after their first innings and Lauriston were unable to chase it down as they were all out for 118, 54 runs short of the total.

Allenton’s Sean Strange hit 86 runs to establish the strong to-

tal and the bowlers defended the total well as Thomas Bird took 2-15 and Scott Punselie picked up 2-21.

In the other round three game, Technical beat Methven by just seven runs.

Technical batted first and Jason Morrison led the team with 61 for a total of 146 before being bowled out in the 18th over.

Mitchell Sim’s solid 70 steered Methven close to the total but he was out in the 19th over and Technical managed to keep the run rate down as Methven fin-

ished on 139/3 after their 20 overs.

Methven played in the fourth round and had another close game but managed to stop Allenton three runs short from reaching their 106 total.

Methven batted first and clambered together 106 as Allenton’s Scott Punselie took 4-19 off his four overs.

Lyall Jemmett guided Allenton with a decent 44 but Methven restricted the run rate as they reached 103/8 and lost by three runs.

Coldstream played their only match for the day and won in style as they scored 188/7 off their 20 overs and restricted Lauriston to 74 all out in the 16th over.

Coldstream batted first and Jonno Print smoked a prominent 63 with six sixes, backed up by Andrew Bennett with a capable 40.

The Coldstream bowlers capitalised on the big total and picked off the Lauriston batsman as Jay Houston took 4-21 off 3.4 overs and Mathew Hart walked away with 3-18 off of his four overs.

College 1st XI take down CBHS side

By Noah Graham

noah.g@theguardian.co.nz

The season is continuing well for Ashburton College 1st XI after they restricted Christchurch Boys’ High School 3rd XI Black to 126 and chased it down with only two wickets to spare last Saturday.

Ashburton College bowled first at the Christchurch ground and started strong as the CBHS open-

ing pair were bogged down with dots balls and were dismissed with only four runs between them.

Ashburton College continued to dominate with the ball and limited the scoring opportunities for their opposition as they picked up wickets consistently and bowled CBHS 3rd XI Black out in the 40th over.

The Ashburton bowlers shared

the wicket haul between them as Will Graham took the best figures of three for 28 of his eight overs and Josh Buchanan snagged an economical two for 13.

The second innings did not start well as Ashburton lost three wickets but Graham’s solid 42 off 47 balls, and highest score of the match, steadied Ashburton’s innings before he was caught by

keeper Gus Mowat off the bowling off Will Smith.

A quick 22 from Gareth Hunt and a patient 26 off 60 balls from Oliver Adlam were much needed cameos that brought Ashburton College close to their win.

Ashburton were 123/8 when Josh Buchanan walked to the crease and struck a four to secure their second win for the season.

Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp was happy to forego a clean sheet – and top spot in the Premier League table – for an electric Anfield atmosphere and three points against West Bromwich Albion. The Reds would have leapfrogged Arsenal on goals scored had they held on to a twogoal lead but had to make do with a 2-1 win after Gareth McAuley exposed their set-piece weakness in the 82nd minute. Earlier, a wonderful first-half display had yielded goals from the superb duo of Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane.

Spurs rue chances Mauricio Pochettino accepts Tottenham need to take maximum points against mid-table teams such as Bournemouth if they are to mount a Premier League title challenge. Spurs missed the chance to go top of the table after being held to a goalless draw in Bournemouth yesterday. “I think it was tough at the start of the game but then I think we managed the whole game, but it’s true that if you don’t score it’s difficult to win”, said Pochettino.

Bayern on the charge Bayern Munich have pulled three points clear at the top of the Bundesliga, with Hertha Berlin and Hoffenheim now the teams in pursuit after defeats for Cologne and Borussia Dortmund. Bayern won the weekend’s big match against Borussia Monchengladbach 2-0 to bring to an end a two-game winless run. Arturo Vidal and Douglas Costa supplied the goals for Carlo Ancelotti’s men. Hertha Berlin leapfrogged Cologne into second place with a 2-1 win – a result which brings an end to the Goats’ unbeaten start to the season. - PA

Holman ‘warming up’ Brisbane coach John Aloisi has signalled a chilling warning to his A-League rivals, saying star Brett Holman has yet to reach peak form for the Roar. The former Socceroo enjoyed arguably his best outing since returning to play domestically in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Central Coast in Gosford.

And coach Steve Hansen said yesterday after naming the 19-year-old in his squad of 36 for the upcoming All Blacks tour that with the right training Auckland player Ioane, who has been compared with Sonny Bill Williams and Israel Folau, should become an even better and more dangerous prospect. “He’s a big man, a fast man, but he’s by no means the finished product,” Hansen said.

Trophy cabinet remains bare

By Steve Devereux

steve.d@theguardian.co.nz

The Mid Canterbury Hammers finished their 2016 campaign on a disappointing note at the Ashburton Showgrounds on Saturday, coming second in a contest to decide who would be playing in the Lochore Cup final.

It meant the team finished a torrid season with no silverware to show for it, after having lost the Hanan Shield against South Canterbury the previous week, and with it any chance of another Meads Cup win.

On Saturday it was North Otago at the other end of the paddock, and on a superb day for rugby the Hammers had high hopes of securing a Lochore Cup final berth.

And after just a single minute of play it looked like it might be a good day for the home team.

Tevita Ula, playing his last game for the union but looking like a young buck trying to impress Steve Hansen, put in a bonecrunching tackle, the ball eventually came to Will Mackenzie who put in a neat little box kick.

Jarred Percival hared after it, received a Beauden Barrett-like bounce and was off on a 50-metre run to dot down under the posts.

Unfortunately, that was the extent of the good news, for the next 65 minutes at least.

The Old Golds replied almost instantly; from an attacking lineout second five Lemi Masoe strolled through a non-existent defence to score, and that was

the last Mid Canterbury saw of the lead.

The visitors were straight back on the attack, and only resolute defence right on the line kept them out for the next 15 minutes.

North Otago should have added two tries but were denied by poor option-taking, or in one case referee James Dolman from Auckland ruled a double movement.

“

targets, and that remained the half-time score.

Stern words in the sheds saw the men in green and gold come out firing in the second half.

Percival’s tactical kicking was outstanding, a couple of huge touchfinders put Mid Canterbury on attack, and they spent a sustained period assaulting the line trying to get back into the contest.

Skipper Eric Duff tirelessly exhorted his troops to higher deeds, but it was all for nought

But the pressure had to tell, and eventually the home side’s defence ran out of men and flanker Marene Mapusage went over untouched.

After 30 minutes the vast majority of the game had been played in the Mid Canterbury half, and that trend didn’t change.

Despite some fine defensive tackling from Ula and Ollie Sapsford on the wing, North Otago were in again following a lineout close to the line and an unstoppable forward drive.

Down 20-8 with the end of the first half looming, the Hammers finally came to life, but the gaps kept closing, and the North Otago tacklers just didn’t miss their

One pushover attempt from a five-metre scrum fell centimetres short, lineout drives were held up, and the North Otago defence remained impenetrable.

Eventually the visitors fought their way back up the field, and from a Mid Canterbury scrum livewire North Otago halfback Robbie Smith stole the ball and scampered away for a try under the sticks, and that was the ball game.

Mid Canterbury went to the bench, with Nick McKain, Andrew Letham and Seta Koroitamana all adding punch to the home team’s efforts, Letham especially making some good runs to try and spark something up, but there

was nothing on the scoreboard to reflect their endeavours.

The Hammers launched multiple attacks but again the defence was up to the task.

What looked like a super try down the grandstand side was ruled out after the match officials conferred and decided Percival had touched a blade of sideline grass on his way to the line.

Again North Otago made the most of their opportunities when presented, and after a towering kick from their fullback was gathered cleanly by their chaser, Marene Mapusage strode over for his second try.

A long-range penalty made it 36-8 and a serious embarrassment looked on the cards.

Hammers’ replacement hooker Brendon Rigden made his mark on the game by dotting down for two late tries, and skipper Eric Duff tirelessly exhorted his troops to higher deeds, but it was all for nought as the North Otago boys will prepare to face King Country in the Lochore Cup final.

The game was played in front of a disappointing crowd despite the best efforts of the local rugby union folks, perhaps the wall-towall rugby overload of the past few months has finally caught up with the fans.

Mid Canterbury 24 (Jarred Percival, Brendon Rigden tries; Jarred Percival 3 con) North Otago 36 (Lemi Masoe, Marene Mapusage 2, Matthew Vocea, Robbie Smith tries; Craig Smith 2 con; Tyron Davies pen). HT: 8-20.

What a surprise – Aussie pundits and fans are less than thrilled by referee Nigel Owens’ decision to deny a Wallaby try at a crucial point in Saturday night’s fraught Bledisloe Cup test at Eden Park. Former Wallaby Rod Kafer, now part of Fox Sports’ commentary team, said Owens should never referee again after Henry Speight’s try was disallowed. In commentary on Fox Sports,and reported by the channel’s website, Kafer said he believed Owens had been pressured by the partisan Auckland crowd into reviewing the try.

Tasman make final Tasman will contest the NPC final against Canterbury after trumping Taranaki 41-29 in New Plymouth yesterday. A closely fought contest was settled on either side of the break, with the Makos running in three tries to give their opponents too much to do. They will now head to Christchurch to take on Canterbury. “I’m just stoked to get past a really good Taranaki team,” flanker Shane Christie said. - NZME

Crutchlow in big win British star Cal Crutchlow has romped to a big win at the Australian MotoGP at Phillip Island.

The LCR Honda rider started second behind Marc Marquez, but took over the lead when the newly crowned world champion crashed out with 18 laps to go. Ninetime world champion Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) was second and Maverick Vinales third, with local hope Jack Miller finishing 10th after starting in fifth position on the grid.

Katich fires up Simon Katich has rejected Michael Clarke’s claims the pair patched things up following an infamous 2009 run-in in the SCG change rooms, saying their relationship is “nonexistent”. He also took a big swipe at Clarke for referring to Shane Watson as being part of a tumour on the Australian cricket side, saying it was a “rather ironic” claim.

■ RUGBY

ABs record lauded

By Neil Reid The Aussies may be filthy – but tributes flowed yesterday for our mighty men in black after their record-setting 18th successive test win.

Kieran Read’s rugby heroes rewrote the record books, to set the new tier-one test record by beating the Wallabies 37-10 at Eden Park.

A sell-out crowd of 47,744 was on hand to witness history being made, but not everyone was celebrating.

Many fans from across the Tasman – and pundits from New Zealand - hit out at a TMO’s decision not to award the Wallabies a try when they looked to have the ABs on the ropes early in the second half.

The controversial call also left Wallabies coach Michael Cheika and his players fuming.

The All Blacks’ record-breaking run began at Eden Park when the All Blacks walloped the Wallabies 41-13 in August last year.

Last night, fans of the men in black, Kiwi celebs and some of the greats of the game took to Twitter to heap praise on the team as they marched towards the 18-game milestone.

Former All Black captain Sean Fitzpatrick: “Congratulations 2 @ AllBlacks on the record 18 consecutive wins. I suspect there will be a few more added 2 the total by this outstanding team”.

The Sharks’ franchise: “Congrats to @AllBlacks who have set a new world record for consecutive international victories by a tier-one nation with their 18th win!”

British & Irish Lions verified account: “Great contest from both sides. Congratulations @ AllBlacks on your achievement.” adidas Rugby: “18 and still undefeated for the @AllBlacks.

A new world record but now it’s onto the North. Who can stop

Israel Dagg dives in to score for the All Blacks at Eden Park on Saturday night. the #ForceOfBlack?”

Irish Rugby Union: “@AllBlacks Congratulations on an incredible winning run.”

Former Wallaby Stirling Mortlock: “agree on the #disgraceful decision. #Savea was meters behind play, however didn’t effect the outcome @AllBlacks #toogood.”

Australian commentator Greg Clark: “Congrats All Blacks on 18th straight win. New tier one record and they wrap up the Series 3-0.”

All Black fan Mariner Collins: “New Tui ad by Michael Cheika.

‘This Wallabies team will beat the @allblacks at Eden Park’. YEAH RIGHT”.

South African cricketing great Allan Donald: “Simply have to applaud the way these men play there rugby. Outrages skill and flair, so bloody good to watch [sic]”.

British journalist Mike Selvey: “The idea that All Blacks might be diminished with retirement of mega stars appears to have been premature.”

And the All Blacks hashtag also trended highly on Twitter when the Wallabies had what appeared to be a try disallowed by the TMO. Broadcaster Scotty Stevenson: “Oh dear lord. That is a shocker.”

The mood didn’t improve after the game with Cheika and his

captain Stephen Moore hitting out at a Weekend Herald cartoon which dressed the coach up as a clown.

“They dressed us up as clowns today so I don’t think they would respect our comment,” Cheika told the post-match press conference.

He also said he felt he had been accused of planting the mystery bug that had been found in the ABs’ Sydney hotel during the Rugby Championship.

“I wouldn’t be smart enough to get that sort of stuff organised,” he said.

Three Barretts going on All Blacks tour One of New Zealand’s most prominent rugby families has reached a new landmark.

Beauden Barrett will be joined by his Canterbury-based brothers Scott and Jordie for the All Blacks’ end-of-year tour to the USA and Europe.

He took to twitter to congratulate his brothers.

Scott, a lock, has been named as injury cover for Sam Whitelock who is out injured for a minimum of three weeks with an ankle sprain, while Brodie Retallick has to pass a concussion test, with Vaea Fifita on standby.

Jordie, a versatile back, has been picked as an apprentice for the tour.

“We think it has huge benefits for a young player.

“Jordie will get all the experi-

ences of touring and being part of the All Blacks group without the pressures of having to perform on the park.

“He is an outstanding prospect and has a big future in the game,” All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said.

The trio were announced in an extended squad to play games against Italy, France and two clashes with Ireland.

The squad also features the selection of 19-year-old Auckland outside back Rieko Ioane, and sees the return to the All Blacks squad of his Auckland teammate, 25-year-old loose forward Steven Luatua, who played 14 Tests in 2013-2014.

Several players weren’t considered for selection due to injury, including hookers Nathan Harris

and James Parsons, midfielders Sonny Bill Williams and Charlie Ngatai and outside back Nehe Milner-Skudder.

ALL BLACKS Hookers: Dane Coles (Wellington, 46), Codie Taylor (Canterbury, 11), Liam Coltman (Otago, uncapped) Props: Wyatt Crockett (Canterbury, 55), Charlie Faumuina (Auckland, 42), Owen Franks (Canterbury, 87), Joe Moody (Canterbury, 20), Ofa Tu’ungafasi (Auckland, 2) Locks: Brodie Retallick (Hawke’s Bay, 57), Luke Romano (Canterbury, 26), Patrick Tuipulotu (Auckland, 10), Samuel Whitelock (Canterbury, 82) Loose Forwards: Sam Cane (Bay of Plenty, 37), Elliot Dixon (Southland, 2), Jerome Kaino (Auckland, 74), Steven

Luatua (Auckland, 14), Kieran Read, captain (Canterbury, 94), Ardie Savea (Wellington, 9), Liam Squire (Tasman, 6), Matt Todd (Canterbury, 5) Halfbacks: Tawera Kerr-Barlow (Waikato, 24), TJ Perenara (Wellington, 26), Aaron Smith (Manawatu, 54) First five-eighths: Beauden Barrett (Taranaki, 46), Aaron Cruden (Manawatu, 43), Lima Sopoaga (Southland, 5) Midfielders: Ryan Crotty (Canterbury, 24), Malakai Fekitoa (Auckland, 20), Anton Leinert-Brown (Waikato, 5), George Moala (Auckland, 3) Outside backs: Israel Dagg (Hawke’s Bay, 58), Rieko Ioane (Auckland, uncapped), Damian McKenzie (Waikato, 1), Waisake Naholo (Taranaki, 8), Julian Savea (Wellington, 49), Ben Smith (Otago, 58) Injury replacements: Scott Barrett, Vaea Fifita.

War of words escalates Wallabies coach Michael Cheika had a meltdown and needs to stop whining says All Blacks counterpart Steve Hansen as tensions rumble on between the two camps.

Hansen, clearly annoyed at how the gloss was taken off his team’s world record winning streak in tests following their 37-10 victory at Eden Park, was in no mood to let Cheika’s comments slide yesterday.

In an extraordinary press conference on Saturday night featuring Cheika and captain Stephen Moore, the Wallabies coach suggested the All Blacks didn’t respect his team and were working in cahoots with the New Zealand Herald in portraying him as a clown.

After naming his touring squad for the Northern Hemisphere tour, Hansen was in no mood to let it go.

“He’s obviously feeling the pressure and had a bit of a meltdown,” he said.

“The best thing he can do is just stop whining.

“If he doesn’t think people are respecting him then [he should] ask [himself] ‘why would the media dress me up as a clown?’ And then go and fix those problems,” Hansen said.

“He’s a good man, and he’s under pressure, so we’ve just go to leave it at that.”

Cheika, who flew back to Australia with his team early yesterday, was furious at the performance of the match officials, leaving his seat at one stage when Henry Speight’s try was disallowed.

Hansen’s latest comments will not improve his mood.

He had already been provoked

by Hansen during the week when the All Blacks coach predicted his backline, correctly picking that rookie Reece Hodge would replace Quade Cooper in the No12 jersey.

A Herald cartoon and yet another defeat for his team completed his misery.

The Wallabies haven’t held the Bledisloe Cup since 2002. They were in the game on Saturday night until the final 20 minutes when the All Blacks again lifted their intensity and poured on 22 unanswered points.

It is 30 years and counting since the Wallabies last won at Eden Park.

And now they’ve been swept in two series by two nations in one year for the first time.

Michael Cheika has another reason to be annoyed, with the news Wallaby Dean Mumm has been cited for alleged foul play.

Mumm is alleged to have contravened Law 10.4 (a) – that a player must not strike an opponent with the fit or arm, including the elbow, shoulder, head or knee - after 12 minutes of the second half.

In brief

■ RICCARTON

Debut win for Prom Queen Former two-time Singapore Horse of the Year Super Easy has made a perfect start to his stallion career.

The New Zealand-bred son of Darci Brahma was represented by his first runner on Saturday and Prom Queen duly got the Hallmark Stud resident on the board.

The Ken and Lisa Rae-trained filly had won both of her lead-up trials in the hands of Alysha Collett, who also guided her to an easy two length defeat of the favourite Kiwi Ida in the NZB Ready to Run Sale Two-Year-Old. “It’s been a while since we had a decent horse and she reminds me so much of Egyptian Raine,” Ken Rae said.

“I’m not saying she’s as good as her, but she’s has got that same attitude. She’s a lovely filly.”

Egyptian Raine gave Rae his first Group One success when she won the 2003 Railway Stakes and she also finished runner-up in the Telegraph Handicap before her subsequent sale to Australian interests.

Prom Queen, who is a half-sister to the Australian stakes winner Swiss Rose, is now likely to make one further appearance before she is rested.

“She’ll go to the Welcome Stakes and

then she will have a break,” Rae said.

Super Easy is a son of the 2015 NZ Broodmare of the Year Parfore, also the dam of the Group One-winning sprinters Tiger Tees and Terravista, the Group Two winner Ball of Muscle and the multiple stakes winner Our Lukas. - NZME

It’s hands and heels for Alysha Collett as she gets Prom Queen to the line in the $20,000 NZB Ready To Run Two-Year-Old at Riccarton on Saturday. Second favourite Prom Queen scored impressively to down favourite Kiwi Ida (Chris Johnson) and Pipiana (Samantha Wynne) in the 800m dash.

Lazarus hottest of Flying Stakes favourites The prince of pacing is now red hot to do what only the greatest have done before.

Lazarus has opened odds-on with some bookies to win the Flying Stakes at Ashburton today, victory in which could push him close to $2 favouritism in the New Zealand Cup on November 8.

Today’s standing start 2400m feature has long been the most crucial form trial for the New Zealand Cup. The Australian TAB had Lazarus a $1.60 win hope over sta-

Talented youngster Gift Of Power completed a notable two-year-old double for Graeme Rogerson at Trentham where she posted a tenacious victory. Successful on debut at Wanganui last month, the daughter of Power and the Group One performer Capital Diamond dug deep on Saturday to beat Waldorf in the Wellesley Stakes. The Tuhikaramea horseman gained great satisfaction from the debut victory of the James Bridgetrained Gilhoolie the Schweppes Two-Year-Old at Ellerslie. - NZME

Barrier suits Astara

■ ASHBURTON

By Michael Guerin

Rogerson strikes twice

blemates Smolda ($3.50) and Have Faith In Me ($4.20).

Lazarus is already as short as $2.20 with most bookies to win the Cup in a few weeks so surely moves close to a $2 quote if he justifies the shock $1.60 odds today.

But a four-year-old winning both the Flying Stakes and New Zealand Cup is not just rare, the last one to do was an icon.

That was Christian Cullen 18 years ago and even he paid $2.35 on the tote in the Flying Stakes, giving you some perspective on how tight Lazarus’s $1.60 quote is.

So the winner of 16 of his 19 starts and unlucky in the other three, Lazarus is going to need to walk in the hoof prints of the greats to justify his super slim odds.

He has come up with barrier two with Christen Me (4), Smolda (6) and Have Faith In Me on the unruly, which may not be as big as disadvantage with only eight starters.

Sandwiched between the race favourites is last season’s three-time group one winning four-year-old Field Marshal, who resumes for the season but with a new driver as Blair

Orange fills in for Dexter Dunn, who is committed to driving Christen Me. The race headlines a superstar day which also sees the return of Dream About Me, Piccadilly Princess and a truck load of the All Stars promising young pacers, but the other key pre-Cup carnival match up for the day is the Flying Mile Trot.

It sees Monbet drawn seven in his comeback race giving him the advantage over last season’s champion three-year-old Marcoola, who will have to overcome a second line draw in his first open class start.

- HRNZ

An inside gate was instrumental in Astara adding winning momentum to her Group One campaign. The Ruakaka filly was beaten from wide draws in her first two appearances as a three-year-old, but she made excellent use of a much better barrier at Ellerslie on Saturday to claim top honours in the Soliloquy Stakes. In the hands of Samantha Collett, Astara jumped well to sit behind the pace and once clear finished well to remain unbeaten at Ellerslie.

Tough choice Hall Of Fame has done everything he possibly can to make up Matthew Cameron’s mind. The son of Savabeel has delivered two impressive victories ahead of next month’s Gr.1 Sothys New Zealand 2000 Guineas and now the stable jockey will have to decide whether he stays with the colt for the classic or if he rides Heroic Valour.

Heroic Valour is currently rated a $6 Guineas chance and a quote he now shares with his barn mate after Hall Of Fame’s latest runaway victory in Saturday’s Listed Zacinto Stakes at Riccarton.

Trainer going north Grant Searle has plans for a rare trip north with his in-form mare Bel Sorriso. The Levin trainer produced the five-year-old for a first-up success in the Gr.3 Thompson Handicap at Trentham on Saturday to bag the opening leg of a black type double. “We’re looking at the mile at Tauranga next – I only brought her back for the two races,” said Searle.

■ BASKETBALL

Breakers crash After three straight defeats the Breakers’ strong start to the season must feel like a distant memory for Paul Henare.

But if the coach is looking for some consolation, the problems that have plagued his club at least seem relatively straightforward to amend.

And that’s because, after slumping to a 1-3 record with Saturday night’s loss to the Bullets, the Breakers are all too often appearing like their own worst enemy.

In Thursday night’s setback against Sydney, it was turnovers that doomed them to defeat.

And on Saturday in Brisbane, it was fouling, both those they committed and what the Breakers did when they were wronged.

Put simply, in a game that was decided only in the final moments, the Breakers’ 10 missed free throws cost them a victory over former coach Andrej Lemanis.

Their 47 per cent success rate (nineof-19) was woefully insufficient, made all the more damaging by Brisbane’s mark of 23-of-27 from the stripe.

The Kiwi club’s misses combined to undo

all the good work they accomplished in recovering a game that had appeared lost.

That was exemplified by the outing of Akil Mitchell, the new import grabbing a game-high 20 points but guilty of four miscues from the free throw line.

Mitchell was pivotal in helping the Breakers chip away at a 13-point halftime deficit, having fallen behind due to an incredible foul discrepancy that saw the home side sent to the line on 19 occasions in the half.

That advantage saw Brisbane pour in 50 points in 20 minutes.

That unit finally applied in the clamps in the third, as the Breakers embarked on an 8-0 run to pull within a possession.

But even with Kirk Penney giving his side their first lead since the opening minutes, finishing with 14 points after initially being restricted by foul trouble, Henare still had reason to feel aggrieved as his side’s free throw shooting ensured the contest remained in balance heading into the fourth.

But there was to be no big finish from the Breakers, having left themselves too much to do.

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Changes at work are coming: This could be the luckiest turn of events that’s happened in months. To prepare yourself, bone up on your skills and make sure your client base is ample.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Exaggerate, minimise, glorify or vilify – play with different ways to understand what happened to you. More than one way will ring true, fit and make sense, so don’t be afraid to try different directions.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): What’s making you anxious?

What do you not want to face? It’s time to deal with it. If it were the only thing you did in this day, you would be satisfied.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Some stressors can’t be eliminated yet, but you can combat fatigue by doing something every day that brings you joy. It’s funny you still see this as a selfish move when it will help you have more to give.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): There are frustrating aspects to living where you do, but when you experience the kindness of people in your community, you’re happy to be a part of it.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): As you teach, you learn. While you’re showing someone how to accomplish a task you will understand it in a different way, and you’ll see how it can be done better, too.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Thinking too much will only complicate matters unnecessarily. This is one of those times when your energy is best spent doing, creating, acting and reacting.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): With your combination of expertise, grit and passion, you have all the internal resources to make a creative project fly. As for the external resources – well, that’s what you’ll work on getting today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): There’s a difference between projecting yourself into a bright future and just wishing to be somewhere else, thereby wasting the moment you’re in.

It’s a day to give your full attention to the task at hand.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): To an outsider, this is a very exciting thing you’re doing today.

Even better is how you’re doing it -- with the smooth style of one who’s done it a million times, which you practically have.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Often being the bigger person is about being the smaller person.

Extreme greatness, in fact, is often achieved best by figuring out how to set others up to shine and then getting out of the way, so as not to overshadow.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): To endure and prevail is to know great fortune. Therefore, any little bit of weirdness or challenge or discomfort that comes your way could be your conduit to stellar luck.

Sport Punter gets it so wrong Someone’s long weekend is off to a shocker – losing a $94,000 bet on a rugby game. The outrageous punt – paying just $1.25 for the win, for a potential profit of $23,500 – was placed three minutes before halftime on the championship semi-final between Wellington and North Harbour. Wellington were up 18-13 when the bet was laid – backing Wellington to win. However, much to the gambler’s despair, North Harbour pulled off the comeback. “That’s a hefty loss. We have more people betting, but don’t tend to get those big bets anymore,” TAB bookie Mark Stafford said.

Niculescu downs Kvitova

Nine and under tennis player Jake Parsons is eyeing up his shot at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre as part of the Ashburton Trust Junior Competition, which continues today. Saturday and Sunday had gone well as the bad weather had stayed away and more than 100 competitors were serving strongly. Mid Canterbury tennis junior convener Peter Leonard said it had been a success so far and some tough tennis had been played. The competition had attracted players from around the South Island, he said.

Romania’s Monica Niculescu has upset top seed Petra Kvitova in the WTA Luxembourg Open final with a 6-4 6-0 victory. The unseeded 29-yearold’s first WTA Tour title for more than two years came as Kvitova’s game abandoned her in the second set. The Czech was broken five times in the match as she struggled with her serve and, despite battling from 4-1 down to 4-3 in the opening set, the double Wimbledon champion was never able to get on terms.

Revenge sweet for Cantabs

BY CAMPBELL BURNES The Mitre 10 Cup rugby Premiership final is returning to Christchurch.

After a loose display in Pukekohe to close out the regular season, Canterbury were back to their usual clinical, efficient selves in shutting out a motivated but outgunned Counties Manukau Steelers 22-7 at AMI Stadium in Christchurch yesterday.

Canterbury took a 17-0 lead to the break and though some of the stats were not in their favour, they defended like demons in the second spell in what was a hard-nosed game of semi-finals rugby.

“It was a huge task for the boys

after (the loss in) Pukekohe.

“We talked about squeezing up around that breakdown.

“They are really dangerous around that area,” said Canterbury No 8 and captain Luke Whitelock, whose pile-driving tackle on Steelers halfback Augustine Pulu was indicative of the home team’s accuracy in that facet.

The Steelers applied early setpiece pressure, but twice lost the ball over the line and were also denied what looked to be a try to No 8 So’otala Fa’aso’o.

Conversely, Canterbury struck two palpable blows through hooker Ben Funnell and Jordie Barrett, the new All Blacks apprentice, in the first stanza.

‘Special one’ in the spotlight P15

Skipper Luke Whitelock They did not even miss a beat when lock Dominic Bird did not resume for the second half.

Adopting a swarming defence based on good line speed, Canterbury veritably suffocated the Steelers, whose sole joy was a try to No 6 Jordan Taufua.

When Canterbury replace-

ment halfback and NZU rep Jack Stratton scored from a loose Steelers scrum in the 68th minute, it was game, set and match.

Canterbury have now won 23 out of 32 playoffs matches since 1992. It will be a brave man who backs against the Ranfurly Shield holders winning their eighth provincial crown in nine seasons next Saturday night.

There was a moment’s silence before the march in tribute to former Canterbury All Black Wally Argus, who died during the week, aged 95.

Canterbury 22 (Ben Funnell, Jordie Barrett, Jack Stratton tries; Barrett 2 con, pen) Counties Manukau 7 (Jordan Taufua try; Luteru Laulala con) HT: 17-0.

Munster inspired Fourteen-man Munster have honoured their late captain and head coach Anthony Foley with a barnstorming 38-17 bonus-point Champions Cup win over Glasgow at Thomond Park. Despite Keith Earls’ red card for a tip tackle midway through a frenzied first half, Munster were 24-3 clear by the interval after tries from European debutants Tyler Bleyendaal and Jaco Taute along with a fortuitous effort from Simon Zebo in a highly emotional day in Limerick.
