Action from local races P18

Young and old took train trips back in time at the weekend as The Plains Vintage Railway and Historical Museum celebrated its 45th anniversary.

Families and others clambered aboard the famous K88, as well as having rides on the Dubs and railcar.

“It’s been a good weekend, trains have been full all morning today,” said one of the guards, Thomas Spark, yesterday.

He added that about 200 people had visited throughout the open days of Sunday and Monday, riding on the trains and taking in other surrounding attrac-

tions in the Plains heritage-styled village. A service had been held in the historic church building on Sunday.

“It’s a highlight for the kids as well as the parents, especially the grandparents, they have a story to tell, remembering riding on trains,” Spark said.

Among those with a story to tell was guard and railcar driver Michael Ross.

Trains are both his work and his hobby.

He got a job as porter with the New Zealand Railways, based at the Ashburton railway station, in 1977. He swept platforms, cleaned the men’s toilets and was mainly working in the parcels office.

With roots stretching back to 1875, Heartland has a proud history of supporting small-to-medium sized businesses, farms and families in Canterbury.

It’s great to offer the people of Ashburton a local banking option that is 100% for New Zealand.

He did that for 12 years before restructuring saw him become a freight operator. All these years later, at the age of 63, he remains in his railways job, but his title is container transfer operator, his employer is Toll NZ, and he is based in the Ashburton railway yard.

Ross remembers as a child at Tinwald living near the railway line, he would go out when a train was going past and wave a small flag.

“I have always liked trains,” Ross said.

He was at the Plains inaugural meeting in 1971 and has been involved ever since, today volunteering as a guard and driver.

Teachers upskill at Mind Lab Rodeo the By noah Graham

noah.g@theguardian.co.nz

Teachers around Ashburton schools are starting to upskill with technology by their side to incorporate a new attitude towards teaching.

Eight teachers from Ashburton Borough School have completed or are in the middle of studying for the Mind Lab’s Postgraduate Certificate in Applied Practice (Digital and Collaborative Learning) which aims to rethink the learning process.

Ashburton Borough School hosted an Open Lab session for teachers interested in the course last Wednesday afternoon.

Unitec’s The Mind Lab South Island director Michael Campbell said the idea behind the course is to encourage teachers to change the way they help students learn by applying new technology to combat specific barriers a student may experience and encourage them to think creatively.

Campbell said the old ways of one teacher being the dominant figure in a 30-student classroom and using whiteboards are a thing of the past.

He said classrooms are heading towards a setting which will

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 191016-TM-0038 include more students and, rather than one teacher, there will be several “facilitators” who address the individual needs of students.

Ashburton Borough School deputy principal Anne Porter said the days of a teacher knowing everything there is are over.

“Gone are the days of seniority.”

She said with technology developing at the rate it is and

younger people finding it easier to adapt alongside it, they become more knowledgeable than the teachers in certain areas.

“The young ones with skills can be teaching me. It’s about working together.”

Campbell said the course enabled teachers to use technology like holograms, 3D printers, brain monitoring headsets and anything in between.

He said the rate at which technology has increased there was no way of knowing what students would be available.

An example of using technology to improve education would be a student with dyslexia using voice to text recognition software and lessening the restrictions they would experience in the classroom, Campbell said.

Ashburton Borough School Year 3 teacher Annabelle Nicholls had completed 16 weeks of the course and said the course made her think about teaching differently.

“We’re more about the teachers being the facilitator.

“We want kids to look at challenges creatively.”

She said they had incorporated some of the skills and technology into their classroom already and the students “loved it”.

Hinds School principal Vicki McIntyre had completed the course and had encouraged six other teachers from the school to take the course.

McIntyre said the course was a “good mix” of training teachers to apply technology in classrooms but also being open to different teaching methods.

Campbell said applications are open for enrolment for November courses.

Lawyers gear up for bake-off Teams from two Ashburton law firms are putting down the paperwork and picking up the mixing bowls to go head-to-head in a bake-off.

Five members of the Everist Gilchrist team will take on the six-strong Tavendale crew to see which collects the most prizes in the home industries shed at the Ashburton A&P Show on Friday.

Marilyn Gilchrist was keeping her secret recipes close to her chest, but conceded she would be making a run in the home preserves classes, while newcomer to the firm Craig Wakelin has a brew or two which he hopes will impress the judges. However, they can expect some tough competition strong entries in the home industries section this year.

best ever

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Methven Rodeo has turned around from the wild west days of just a few years ago, when drunks walked the streets and vandalised the town.

Sunday’s rodeo is being hailed as the most successful event ever, with townspeople smiling in its wake and rating visitor behaviour as excellent.

Methven Pubs owner Debbie Taylor-den Baars praised the rodeo club, saying not only did the event itself run like clockwork, but crowds afterwards were well behaved.

There were queues of people at both the Brown Pub and the Blue Pub throughout Sunday night. Only low levels of would-be patrons had to be turned away for intoxication, and the police called just once when one man lost the plot at her, although he was not physical.

Ashburton police were on deck from midnight onwards and there had not been one incident for them to deal with. Police could not be reached for confirmation.

Rodeo organisers were just as happy, only having to cut wrist bands off two on-site bar patrons at the rodeo.

Wrist bands show a person is aged 18 or over, and they are cut if a person becomes too intoxicated to serve again.

“No wrist band, no service,” said rodeo club secretary Rosa Harper.

The rodeo club runs its own on-site bar, and banned BYO alcohol a few years ago.

President Tom Plunkett said over the past two years the club had raised $11,000 at the rodeo for local community groups. This year’s takings were still being counted.

Methven resident and Ashburton District councillor Liz McMillan said she had not heard of any vandalism following the event, and it seemed to have all gone well with the town still busy and everyone smiling yesterday morning.

“It’s good for the town, it brings lots of people in.”

Marya Trengrove at Primo Café said the café had been “really busy” with out-of-towners, families, cowboys and cowgirls.

“It was exceptional behaviour, I thought it was a completely different crowd than previous years.”

■ NEW SUPERMARKET

Road changes will create chaos

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The realignment of State Highway One on the north side of the Ashburton River Bridge will see a new set of traffic lights installed, but many people are asking whether the roading changes will create traffic chaos.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 171016-TM-0145

The traffic log-jam that has become almost the norm on the northern approach to the Ashburton River Bridge has become almost permanent as work gets under way on roading realignment ahead of the construction of a new supermarket on South Street.

Before the supermarket can open the New Zealand Transport Agency requires supermarket owner Progressive to install traffic signals at the t-intersection of South Street with State Highway One. The potential for additional traffic congestion in that area, however, is raising the ire of locals.

Several people have contacted the Guardian asking how the new roading layout will work and whether the lights will add to the bottleneck of traffic in that part of Ashburton.

The lights project also has the Ashburton District Council’s traffic experts asking questions.

When the plan was first tabled, roading manager Brian Fauth said the council raised a number of concerns around the potential for traffic to backlog through town.

“At the end of the day it’s NZTA’s project and if they feel they’ve covered off those concerns as best they can and have pleased everyone as best they can,” he said.

When the intersection realignment is completed there will be three lanes of traffic heading north and three heading south on State Highway One. Two of these will be for through traffic while there will be a left turn lane into South Street for traffic heading south and a right turn for traffic heading north.

The idea of the two lanes for through traffic in each direction was to avoid backlogs onto the bridge and railway line, Fauth

said. “It’s like the intersections as you go through Rolleston but we’ll have a much shorter length to merge back into a single lane for the bridge and to go over the railway line.”

That section of road is further complicated by turning options in and out of East Street and by another t-intersection with Kermode Street and the highway.

“It’ll be interesting to see how it works out.

“It will definitely take people quite a bit of getting used to as it’s the first intersection like this in Ashburton. People will definitely have to change their driving from aggressive to passive to merge,” he said.

Provision will be made for cyclists to cross the state highway and join and existing cycle lane on the green.

Several trees on the green have been removed to provide extra land for the widened road.

■ SPELLING BEE

Super speller pleased with competition success

By SuSaN SaNdyS

SuSan.S@theguardian.co.nz

Ermine, the word for stoat, more commonly in its white winter coat, is one word that Amy Pearson will never forget.

It was the word which saw her dip out of the national spelling bee Spellbound competition, televised on Sunday night.

Audiences saw Amy carefully spell out how she thought the word was spelt: ER-M-I-N. But then the buzzer that no contestant wants to hear sounded, and Amy was out, alongside several other competitors, in just the first round.

She is nevertheless looking at her competition experience positively, and is pleased she made it further than last year, getting to the grand finale.

“Last year I only got to the regionals, so I was very happy to get to the finals this year, and extra happy that I got to the finals of the finals,” she said.

Hosted by Toni Street, Spellbound followed 36 contestants from Years 9 and 10 over three weeks, as they attempted to take out the top spot in the annual New Zealand Spelling Bee. Sunday night’s finale featured the top 12 contestants.

Amy believes she gets her spelling aptitude from reading, and she ploughs through two to three novels per week.

Her latest is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which she began on Sunday and finished yesterday.

“But I stayed up quite late reading it,” she said.

Wellington 14-year-old Finn Lewis won the competition with the word ostensible.

■ KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS

In brief

Kidney transplant exchange A ground-breaking three-way kidney exchange is being hailed as a potential game-changer for those seeking a transplant.

The country’s first three-way kidney transplant exchange was carried out earlier this month which allowed three live donors to be matched with compatible

■ P FIGHT

kidney patients. “It allows a possible donor and a recipient to be matched with another possible donor and a recipient, creating a transplant exchange,” said Dr Nick Cross, clinical director of the National Renal Transplant Service.

“These kidney transplants are

very valuable as often patients in the exchange are particularly difficult to find a donor for.”

Dr Cross said the exchange signalled an exciting new approach, and Health Minister Jonathan Coleman said it was an important step towards increasing kidney transplant numbers – 147 of

which were carried out last year.

“Individuals are often very keen to help a friend or loved one needing a kidney, but are unable to because of tissue compatibility issues,” he said.

He had been advised that all patients were recovering well from surgery.

Gang Sustainable fashion with rural flair leader loses an eyeball

BY MICHELLE NELSON

MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The gang leader who claims to have driven P dealers out of Ngaruawahia has reportedly lost an eyeball for his efforts.

Tribal Huk president Jamie Pink told Fairfax yesterday his SUV had been shot at multiple times and that he lost an eyeball during a confrontation at the weekend.

“I’ve lost an eyeball, but all good,” Pink said.

Fairfax reported Pink had a patch covering his right eye and bandages on his arm and hand.

Pink and an accomplice told Fairfax yesterday there were loaded guns in his black Ford Explorer and that they and police needed to be careful.

Pink also claimed victory over the P dealers and said they had all left the north Waikato town.

Last week he said he had driven 14 P dealers out of Ngaruawahia after telling them they had 24 hours to flee the town ‘or else’.

A police spokesperson confirmed Pink’s vehicle was picked up on Angelesea Street, near the Repco building, in Hamilton about 11am. No-one was in the vehicle, she said.

A room awash with discarded items is a treasure trove for a group of Hinds School students who have embarked on a sustainability journey.

With the theme of Caring for Our Place, the aim is to create fashionable outfits and wearable artworks from recycled waste with a distinctly rural flavour for the Ashburton A&P Show’s upcycled wearable waste competition on Saturday.

Eco campaigner Sheryl Stivens has been working with the school’s Year 7 and 8 students as part of their sustainability unit.

“The goal is to encourage sustainable living – there is so much material which is freely available,” she said.

“Some people make a career out of upcycled clothing and wearable art.”

Eighty per cent of the material used in the garments produced for Saturday’s competition must be sourced from rural waste.

Bags and bags of clothing, fabric, old cushions and bedding have been donated for the cause, and the students have added rural waste to the collection.

The students work in teams, sketching up designs and making collaborative decisions before getting down to the nitty gritty work of constructing their garments.

While the scene may appear chaotic, the students are focused on show day, when the judges will assess the results of their efforts from 10.30am ahead of the 11am parade.

Rubbish burn-off Alford Forest and Methven firefighters were called to a controlled rubbish burn-off about 9.45pm on Sunday. The call followed a minor vegetation fire at Lauriston for the Methven brigade, about 7.30pm, after the brigade was turned back from attending a fire at Hatfield. The Rakaia brigade were already responding to the Hatfield blaze, which was a hedge fire.

14-year-old missing Police are searching for a 14-yearold boy who left his New Plymouth home in a distressed state with no shoes on. Raefon Adams, left in the early hours of yesterday. He is described as Maori, of medium build, about 170cm tall and was wearing tie-dyed, mid-thigh length shorts, black long-sleeved T-shirt with white writing on the front, and black socks with no shoes.

Prime Minister John Key’s trade trip to India is being threatened by aircraft problems in Townsville.

The RNZAF 757 made two aborted attempts to take off yesterday afternoon after suffering technical problems. The flight was due to land in Mumbai on Monday evening, local time, as part of a tightly scheduled visit. The pilot told those on board they had exhausted remote fixes and passengers would go through customs in Townsville. The trip’s departure on Monday morning from Whenuapai had already been delayed by technical problems. The problem was fixed with a “system reset” and the aircraft departed for Mumbai, via Jakarta, more than four hours behind schedule. Mr Key is leading a trade delegation to Mumbai and New Delhi.

■ HOSPICE MID CANTERBURY

Recording the past for tomorrow

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

O

ne of the most precious legacies a person can leave is the story of their life, says Hospice Mid Canterbury biographer Christine Wilson.

While many people might think their life has had little to mark it out as interesting, Christine knows that no matter how humble a person believes their life has been, behind the years are memories and events that tell the story that begs to be recorded.

She works with Hospice Mid Canterbury, recording the life stories of people who know their time is limited. And in the 18 months since she’s worked as a volunteer says she’s heard wonderful stories and shared many very special moments with those storytellers.

“It’s something I feel very privileged to be able to do. It’s a very special thing to share,” she said.

Christine trained at Nurse Maud Hospice in Christchurch and says that training meant she was well prepared for what becomes a sharing of some of the most intimate details of a person’s life.

Telling their story is not for everyone and for most who decide to do so, it’s highly emotional and often quite challenging, but it also provides a sense of closure.

“It’s a huge step for people to do this; it means they’ve accepted that they’re dying. Part of the biography process is like a laying to rest, validifying who that person was. There’s a huge amount of bravery in that and that’s very special to share.”

Starting with a new client is difficult for both parties, she said.

“An element of trust has to develop and the first time naturally they don’t trust you, but we start right at the beginning. I’ll ask when they were born and where.

Once you get them talking they often don’t want to stop, but it’s often very factual until they feel they can trust you.”

Trust begins to build on the

second session once the biographer reads back the stories told during the first.

“I write it up in the first person so they feel it’s them, it’s their voice. I read it to them and you see them change, they lift and that’s very special.”

For people who were very sick, their world was usually defined by their room, their bed or chair, but telling their story, looking into the past, allowed them to once again live in a world that was larger, and it’s magical to be part of that, Christine said.

Often the first thing a person will say is “oh my life isn’t interesting”, but every life recorded tells details and paints a picture

of the past, of a time when social conditions and lifestyles were very different.

Each is a social history in itself, she said.

Christine encourages her clients to share emotions, to talk about feelings and to pass on advice and knowledge.

Sessions last for one hour and mixed with the sadness there is also plenty of laughter.

When stories are transcribed family members are often amazed at the details and events they had not known were part of their parent or grandparent’s life.

Each person is given an electronic file of their story and a bound copy.

“I think people’s stories are really important and I try not to sanitise those stories. People need to know and understand a person’s life in every way and to understand it may not always have been easy. People look back and can understand from a different perspective the decisions they made or the mistakes they made. These biographies are real life stories.”

And sometimes there are amazing stories, amazing coincidences.

Christine also undertakes private biography work and when she was recording an elderly woman’s story, the woman talked about being at a social function

and seeing a child lying at the bottom of a swimming pool. She dived in and rescued the child.

That child was Christine.

“That was something I never knew, something my mother never talked about,” she said.

Knowing the benefits that come from talking about the past, Christine wants to see more people who are elderly or who are dying to take up the opportunity.

People wanting to record their life story can be put in touch with one of Hospice Mid Canterbury’s biographers by contacting Alison MacGregor, manager of volunteer services, Hospice Mid Canterbury, 3078387 or 027 227 8387.

13 killed in bus crash A tour bus has crashed into the back of a tractor-trailer on a Southern California highway, killing 13 people and injuring 31.

The bus was travelling on Interstate 10 when the crash occurred near Palm Springs, about 160km east of Los Angeles, California Highway Patrol (CHP) Chief Jim Abele said.

Abele said because of the bus’ speed, the truck’s trailer pushed about four metres into the bus. The bus driver was among the 13 killed, he said.

“In almost 35 years I’ve never been to a crash where there’s been 13 confirmed,” deaths, Abele said.

“So it’s tough. It’s tough for all of us.”

Abele said several survivors re-

ported most of the passengers, all of whom were adults, were sleeping at the time of the crash.

Photographs from the scene showed the front of the tour bus wedged inside the back of the trailer, with emergency workers using metal ladders to reach the inside of the bus.

Abele said the bus appeared to be ferrying casino-goers back to Los Angeles from the Red Earth Casino after a night of gambling.

Abele said it was not immediately clear if alcohol, drugs or fatigue was a factor in the crash. He said it was not clear whether the bus was speeding, but said it was travelling “significantly faster” than the tractor-trailer.

Surfer out Trump campaigner of hospital admits ‘we are behind’ A surfer has been discharged from hospital after surviving a shark attack in waters near Byron Bay on the notorious NSW north coast.

The 36-year-old man escaped with three puncture wounds to his upper thigh when his surfboard bore the brunt of an attack yesterday.

The man was waiting to catch a wave off a beach between Suffolk Park and Broken Head around 7.30am when the shark attacked from below.

He made his way to to the emergency department of Byron Central Hospital with the help of a friend, and witnesses said he was able to walk into the emergency ward and has since been discharged.

All beaches across Byron Bay have now been closed for at least 24 hours.

The latest attack is the 13th in the area since January 2015.

Washington Donald Trump’s campaign manager has admitted the Republican presidential candidate is lagging behind Democrat Hillary Clinton with only two weeks to go before election day.

“We are behind,” Kellyanne Conway said on broadcaster NBC. Clinton had “tremendous advantages,” Conway said, with her husband and previous president Bill Clinton, current president Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden all campaigning for her, and “all much more popular than she can hope to be”.

Also, Clinton had poured $US66 million ($NZ92 million) into advertising in September, twice as much as in August, Conway said.

The majority of the advertisement spots were negative and devoted to “personal destruction,” she said, describing them as “cesspool kind of ads”.

Conway nevertheless expressed hope that Trump can swing undecided vot-

ers to his side and win the vote on November 8. She told CNN that there is still great enthusiasm at Trump campaign stops.

“Let me tell you something: You go out on the road with Donald Trump, this election doesn’t feel over.”

Her comments came as an ABC News poll was released that showed Clinton with a lead of 12 percentage points over Trump, 50 to 38 per cent, among likely voters.

Trump’s campaign has been on a downward turn in recent weeks amid several accusations of sexual assault, which emerged after video footage was made public that shows the business magnate admitting to groping women.

He has vehemently denied any allegations of sexual assault, vowing to sue any complainants and insisting that his comments in the 2005 footage was merely “locker-room talk.”

In Isla Fisher’s new action-comedy, the Australian actress survived high-speed car chases, exploding houses and scenes where she had to strip down to her underwear. But the biggest stretch – literally – for Fisher in Keeping Up with the Joneses was a scene where she had to make out with co-star Gal Gadot.

Gadot, the towering Israeli beauty best known as the new Amazonian superhero Wonder Woman, stands over 182cm in heels while pint-sized Fisher is 160cm tall. “Just an apple box later and I could be right at her eyeline,” Fisher laughs in an interview. Fisher and comedian Zach Galifianakis play an average mum and dad living in the suburbs whose lives get turned upside down when an attractive couple, Gadot and Mad Men star Jon Hamm, move into a house in their culde-sac. Fisher’s character, Karen Gaffney, becomes suspicious, snoops on the neighbours, discovers they are spies and are suddenly dodging bullets.

Helping others through organ donation Susan Sandys

SENIOR REPORTER

“ N

One donor can assist up to 10 people

ow is as good a time as any to talk to your loved ones about organ dona-

tion.

Maybe you have ticked the box on your driver’s licence to say you don’t mind donating your organs. However, anyone on a transplant waiting list will tell you this does not really count for much.

In New Zealand, it is family members who decide whether their loved ones will donate their organs or not.

And it is a decision they must make in highly emotional circumstances, and for some it would be just too much of a tough call to make.

The concept of harvesting a loved one’s vital organs such as heart, lungs, eye corneas and kidneys, is not a nice prospect to consider at any time, let alone when you are facing losing that person.

However, if that person said previously they would like to be a donor, at least you can make a decision to donate their organs in the knowledge you would be carrying out their wish.

And it is important to specify which organs and tissues you are willing to donate.

Depending on how much, one donor can assist up to 10 people.

It is good to see medical science improving around organ donation, and just yesterday the Canterbury District Health Board announced it had played a key role in New Zealand’s first threeway kidney transplant exchange.

And organ donation is increasing, with deceased donors rising to 53 last year, from 29 in 2005.

It’s evidence that New Zealanders are giving serious consideration to just how the one kind act of organ donation can transform the lives of others.

All Black Julian Savea in action against Australia.

Along came Mad Mike

By Chris rattue

T

hese are surprisingly great days for trans-Tasman rugby.

The friction is so fierce there are flames shooting out. Wallaby coach Michael “McEnroe” Cheika versus the New Zealand rugby machine is brilliant. Keep it up Mad Mike. We love the racket.

Cheika is the antidote to the image-obsessed, statement-issuing New Zealand rugby corporation which ignores how important tribalism is to sport.

Apparently enraged by a NZ Herald graphic depicting him as a clown, and wanting to divert attention away from another loss, Cheika went on the attack after the dead rubber Bledisloe Cup game.

It has taken this punter a day or so to digest the firestorm.

The verdict: two thumbs up to Cheika, for giving rugby’s sickly atmosphere a giant two fingered salute. This is freedom. Cheika is pouring acid over rugby’s saccharine ways.

The provincial competition is devoid of character and conflict.

Super Rugby is a crock of you know what. The All Blacks’ victory march is a procession. Then along came Mad Mike.

Conflict in professional sport should be the norm. Look at what goes on between managers in the English Premier League, probably the most successful sports competition on the planet.

Cheika needs to turn down the so-called olive branch from All Blacks coach Steve Hansen, who reckoned: “For a long time the relationship with Australia has probably been a little frosty and maybe we need to sit down and have a beer together and sort it out.”

We love frosty. Perhaps Hansen is working to the old line, about keeping your enemies even closer than your friends. The All Blacks want to bundle the rugby world up, then trample it to pieces. And that beer would turn Cheika’s much-needed aggression and desperation into a lie.

Take your beer and dispense it in a dark place, should be Cheika’s reply. We love sport with this kind of edge which, presumably, is why spectators here still

try to boo Quade Cooper.

Hansen may have been all matey with previous Springboks coach Heyneke Meyer, but is that the relationship we really want with the old enemy?

Where would we be without cricket’s 1980s underarm controversy, and Prime Minister Rob Muldoon’s reaction: “It was an act of true cowardice and I consider it appropriate that the Australian team were wearing yellow”.

We don’t want all sport to be burning with rage, but it does need a decent dose of antagonism to get the blood boiling.

Tennis tantrums anyone? John McEnroe versus the world. John McEnroe versus himself. Who will ever forget that?

Rugby wants to play the nice guy, while sticking a hand deep into our wallets. We are sports fans, not a cross between career types from the diplomatic corps and a cash register.

Look at trans-Tasman rugby league tests, which have fallen flat partly because everyone is too nice to each other. Remember David Kidwell v Willie Mason? Yes, yes, yes. Remember

the game? Not so much.

A few of us were tempted to reach for a bucket when Kiwis forward Tohu Harris admitted he was “in awe” of Aussie stars and Melbourne team mates Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk before the recent test in Perth. No, no, no, no, no as the league icon and commentator Phil Gould would say.

The online crowd has flocked to the latest Bledisloe Cup game helped hugely by the NZ Herald graphic of Cheika which has launched “Clowngate”. As I write this, the top five stories on the NZME website are all about the Eden Park test, with two of them clown-related.

And this feels real. Cheika is not making this stuff up. The man sounds unhinged at times, and you do wonder if he needs counselling.

A coaching box may be in for a serious beating.

But to steal a famous All Black diversionary line, all credit to this opposition.

We’re talking about you, Michael Cheika. Thanks for being crazy. Thanks for keeping it real.

The hunt is on for supercow genes Lincoln University Professor Jon Hickford is leading a team of scientists analysing the genes in dairy cows that affect how much milk a cow produces and the protein content of that milk.

“Knowing this may provide the potential for both economic Prof Jon and environmental benefits to New Zealand as it could allow farmers to reduce their current cow numbers, yet sustain output,” Hickford said.

“We aim to identify what particular form of a gene (named FABP4) a dairy cow has as this may provide potential for farmers to identify these animals and add them to their herds.

“This may increase both the quantity and quality of the milk their cows produce.”

Specifically, the scientists identified that FABP4 is present in three forms or alleles that have been named A, B and C. Depending on the pairing of these alleles in the cows, an effect was seen on different milk traits.

For example, cows with the A allele produced milk with a higher protein content. This trial involved a herd of 719 lactating holstein-friesian x jersey cross dairy cows grazed in an outdoors grass-fed New Zealand dairy system on Hickford the Lincoln University Dairy Farm.

The volume of milk the individual cows produced was measured daily and once a month milk samples were collected and analysed for the percentage of protein and percentage of fat.

DNA from all the cows was also analysed using sophisticated molecular techniques to determine the variation in the FABP4 gene.

This gene had previously been linked to variation in milk traits, but not with the precision used in the Lincoln University work.

Financial support was provided from the Ministry of Science and Innovation, Dairy Systems for Environmental Protection NZ Programme and the Lincoln University Gene-Marker Laboratory.

MPI ready to handle foot-and-mou The success of an on-farm exercise run by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) shows that New Zealand is well prepared to manage the biosecurity aspects of a foot-andmouth disease (FMD) outbreak.

MPI acting director investigations, diagnostic centres and response John Sanson said the oneday exercise at a dairy farm in Te Rapa in the Waikato was part of a suite of work under way to make sure the country is well prepared to deal with the disease in the unlikely event that it occurs here.

The simulated scenario was an infected dairy farm, about a week into a FMD outbreak. It began with an incident controller arriving at the farm and taking over from a surveillance veterinarian on site.

About 30 people (including observers) took part in the exercise last week. No animals were involved in the exercise.

“In an outbreak, a property with even one infected animal would have to have all of their FMD-susceptible stock humanely destroyed within 24 hours,” Sanson said.

“This would include all cattle, sheep, deer, pigs and goats. There would also be national movement restrictions put in place immediately when the disease is confirmed, to reduce the risk of the disease being moved around the country by infected livestock.”

As part of the exercise a control unit was set up at the farm gate, for people to disinfect gear as they left the farm. A transport truck was disinfected as part of the trial with water and detergent.

“We were very happy to see that the plans worked well. We had people in full personal protective equipment with two pairs of gloves managing to use iPads. That allowed them to locate the best disposal sites and work with a simulated regional centre.

“Personnel only took 30 minutes to set up the gate control unit in accordance with the instructions in

the disinfection plan.”

The plans have been developed over three years, in partnership

with the livestock industries and local government as well as overseas input. It is estimated that a large

The window of opportunity to make a difference to your farming career has arrived!

Entries for the New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards opened last week and will close on midnight on November 30. Competitions categories include the New Zealand Share Farmer of the Year, New Zealand Dairy Manager of the Year and New Zealand Dairy Trainee of the Year.

All entries are received online at www.dairyindustryawards. co.nz. The New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards are supported by national sponsors.

General manager Chris Keeping said major changes to last year’s competitions, including changes to entry criteria, saw

a more even spread of entries across the three competitions.

“Entering one of our competitions remains one of the best ways people can raise their profile and reputation, as well as make the connections required to jump up the dairy industry career ladder,” she said.

“The overwhelmingly positive feedback we receive from entrants is how much fun they had on the competition journey and how glad they are they entered.

“Entrants tell us that they really had to sit down and look at their business and how they were doing things on the farm and why.

That analytical approach brings a whole new dimension to their business and career planning.”

The three competitions in the New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards are: The Share Farmer of the Year competition is open to self-employed farmers responsible for the day-to-day running of the farm. Dairy Manager of the Year is open to salaried farm staff, in job roles such as farm manager, herd manager and production manager.

Dairy Trainee of the Year is open to salaried farm staff, but must be aged between 18 to 25 years with no more than three years full-time experience on a dairy farm.

Full entry criteria must be met to enter and can be found at dairyindustryawards.co.nz

Key seeks Indian summer without FTA Prime Minister John Key heads to India this week, trying to drum up business and with an eye on the future of the economic giant.

His visit is a flying one – essentially just two-and-a-half days of engagements, which includes meeting with counterpart Narendra Mode.

But he says it is aimed at growing existing ties and looking for more ways the countries can work together, despite a free-trade deal looking some way off.

Mr Key will be accompanied by about 34 industry reps from a range of sectors, including well outside our main commodity exports.

“I can confidently say there are increasing opportunities for New Zealand businesses ... from education, manufacturing and food and beverage to IT and aviation,” Mr Key says.

Free-trade talks started in 2010 and there have been 10 rounds since, but officials say they aren’t even close to reaching a deal without the political will from India.

New Zealand doesn’t export a lot of dairy products to India - the country has a policy of being self-sufficient for milk production and protecting its smaller farmers, and it puts an average 33.5 per cent tariff on dairy products.

Tariffs on some agricultural products can be as high as 100 per cent, which makes it uneconomic for outsiders.

Officials say they don’t want to really compete with Indian growers, but with between 40 and 50 per cent of food there going to waste, they say there is a lot of un-

fulfilled demand and New Zealand storage and distribution systems could help.

But despite no FTA there has been a dramatic increase in the trade of services – in New Zealand’s favour – mainly driven by education.

Five years ago, Mr Key was in India and launched the NZ Inc India Strategy, which aimed to grow this country’s exports there to $2 billion by 2015, among other things.

That hasn’t happened. However, once you thrown in services exports the twoway trade between the two is worth $2.4b.

New Zealand is winning on the services – we exported $1.068b in the last financial year (most of which was education travel services) while we bought $230 million worth of services from India.

India is now our second-largest source of international students.

That’s brought its own problems, with Immigration NZ saying fraudulent visa applications have soared.

Last week, the Asia New Zealand Foundation published a report on relations by former high commissioner to India, Graeme Waters, who also pushed the idea that it just doesn’t have to be about commodities.

“It is beyond the goods market and into the realms of services where each side can capture the other’s imagination,” he says.

That’s in areas such as IT, fashion design, filmmaking and aviation, however New Zealand as a shooting destination for Bollywood movies just hasn’t happened.

There is currently no direct air service between the two countries.

MARKET REPORT Dairy The Government announced changes to the Dairy Industry Restructuring Act (DIRA), but has blocked the efficiency and contestability provisions of the DIRA from expiring in the South Island. However, Fonterra will no longer be required to sell regulated milk to large, export-focused processors from the start of the 2019/20 season. Some industry voices see these relaxations as not going far enough.

The latest Report from the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment is keeping the spotlight on greenhouse gas emissions from the dairy industry.

The Government signaled there will be no sharp transition to meet tighter standards for low-emission farming, but that the industry needs to move in that direction deliberately. Too little voluntary progress will bring stiffer regulation.

Excessive grass growth is still an issue for some farmers with a better soil moisture situation than last year and warmer temperatures. MPI is forecasting even better conditions over the next two weeks in Mid Canterbury.

Lamb With only a week or so remaining in the Christmas chilled production window, reports thus far suggest trades is good despite producers battling with a stronger NZ dollar. Indications are that UK retailers have less appetite for NZ lamb at Christmas and supply of UK lamb is coming later this year which only increases competition for shelf space. Some schedules are showing a softer tone.

Some better news is there are signs Chinese demand for the coming New Year celebrations is increasing. Middle Eastern demand is also picking up.

The difficulties faced by this sector are clearly visible with average prices over a 12-month period being back at levels last seen in 2008/09.

Wool Auctions in both islands attracted good support, despite the firmer currency. Tight supply and more interest from China, especially for quick shipment, underpinned the demand. Course crossbreds were in demand in both islands, and in the South, there was also demand for merino, midmicron and fine crossbreds.

More market interest from China added to the continuing interest from Europe, the Middle East, and India.

Beef Negative US sentiment is continuing and trade is limited due to little appetite for imported meat. The increasing volumes of domestic protein in the US carries the risk of prices falling sharply. Demand from China is expected to lift as they move into a period of higher demand. There is currently a supply gap left by Australia and expectations are price increases will follow.

This of course will depend on how actively the South Americans try and compete to fill the supply void.

Deer Demand for NZ venison continues and everyone is fully aware of current shortages in supply. Importers are looking ahead at their future requirements and trying to lock in supplies. With the shortage of venison being an issue supplies of alternatives, pork and poultry is increasing and there is a distinct price disparity between the proteins.

From music to memorial

By Margaret Bean The Ashburton Guardian recently featured several stories about local men lost in the Battle of the Somme. Another one of the 51 Ashburtonians whose death in the battle can be recalled a century later is Arthur William Claridge, a talented violinist well known in Ashburton musical circles, who was employed by Friedlander Bros.

Rudolph Friedlander when farewelling him from the family business in June 1915 spoke feelingly about his connection to the firm and wished Claridge a safe return but it was not to be.

Arthur was a grandson of Thomas and Jane Gates, one of Ashburton’s foremost musical families that had strong links to St Stephen’s Church where Thomas was both a chorister and choirmaster.

The Gates children were all competent musical performers and teachers of various instruments but particularly prominent over a long period of time were Horace – a music retailer, music teacher, conductor and a performer of vocal and instrumental works – Rhoda an accompanist, Ethel a violinist and Ada a cellist.

In 1884 Rhoda married Arthur Charles Claridge who also contributed to the town’s musical life.

Her six pregnancies did not seem to interfere in any way with her frequent public appearances as an accompanist. Rhoda and Arthur’s son Arthur William was born in March 1886 followed by his five sisters, Beatrice 1887, Ethel 1889, Jane 1891, Catherine 1893, and Agnes 1895.

Four of these sisters, both before and after their marriages, played important roles in many social events where music performance was a dominant feature.

There may still be a few people who can recall their contributions.

A fit young man Arthur attended Borough School and in his final year, 1899, he gained the top mark in the Ashburton High School Board of Governors’ Scholarships.

After two years’ secondary schooling he joined Friedlander Bros as a clerk and three years later, in 1905, he held the position of accountant with that big stock

Contemporary sports reports indicate he played both cricket and football for the company.

Like many of Ashburton’s young men he joined the Ashburton Guards, the local volunteer defence group, taking part in their military-style training exercises.

His medical records on enlistment reinforce the image of a well-built, fit young man.

As early as 1898, the 10-year -old Arthur’s violin solo at a St Stephen’s Church Ministering Children’s League Concert was favourably commented on by the Ashburton Guardian’s reviewer.

From then on, always as a violinist, his name appeared occasionally in newspaper reports of musical activities.

It is impossible to determine who taught him. One would imagine he was taught by family members, not least his mother Rhoda and her brother Horace Gates and sister Ethel Gates.

Rhoda Claridge, nee Gates, Arthur Claridge’s mother.

Thomas Gates, Arthur Claridge’s grandfather.

At the Orchestral Society’s June concert in 1905 his rendition of the classical violin solo De Beriot’s Sixth Air with variations saw him warmly welcomed as a newcomer to the ranks of the town’s amateur performers by the Guardian reviewer.

From this point onwards his violin solos and occasionally duets never failed to please audiences and newspaper critic alike.

detailed the farewell that Friedlander Bros accorded Arthur on the eve of his departure for Trentham to join the Seventh Reinforcements of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force.

As it happened, he did not leave New Zealand until November of that year and by then he was part of the Eighth Reinforcements and attached to the 2nd Auckland Infantry Regiment.

He sailed from Wellington on November 13 disembarking at Suez before Christmas. March he spent in Moascar, arriving at Etaples Northern France towards the end of April, and a month later he was at Armentières.

The battle of the Somme was fought between July and November 1916 and had one of the highest casualty rates of the war.

After little more than three months in France the 2nd Auckland Infantry Regiment joined the Somme offensive with the result Sergeant Claridge was killed in action at Switch Trench on September 15, 1916, just 10 months after leaving New Zealand.

It is estimated by the time the fighting was halted in November around a million Commonwealth, German and French soldiers had been wounded, captured or killed.

His departure On June 14, 1915 the Guardian

Horace Gates, music retailer, music teacher, conductor, vocalist, Arthur Claridge’s uncle.

Memorials Claridge’s name appears on the New Zealand Memorial erected on the site of Switch Trench in the Caterpillar Cemetery near Longueval.

The cemetery was given the rather odd name of ‘Caterpillar’ by the British army because of the long narrow valley which rises eastwards, past Caterpillar Wood to the high ground at Guillemont.

In Ashburton his name was inscribed on the Cenotaph, the war memorials of the schools he attended, Borough and Ashburton High School, and on the Roll of Honour in St Stephen’s Church.

These last three are not in their original positions but they can still be visited. The Borough School marble plaque is beside the school flagpole, the Ashburton High School memorial is in the foyer of Ashburton College, and St Stephen’s Church was opened in 1963 after its rebuild.

As we remember and honour these New Zealand soldiers who gave their lives in a war, not of their making, on the opposite side of the world, we can but ponder what the loss and grief meant for their families. And the Great War that was meant to end all wars has done no such thing.

For the first time an international drivers pairing has claimed the Supercars’ Enduro Cup after Holden’s Shane van Gisbergen dominated the Gold Coast 600 weekend.

Flying Kiwi van Gisbergen and co-driver Alex Premat of France finished 159 points ahead of Holden’s Will Davison and Jonathon Webb in the endurance rounds’ standings after impressing on the tourist strip.

Van Gisbergen is also in sight of a maiden Supercars title after grabbing a 148-point lead over Holden team-mate Jamie Whincup in the drivers’ championship with two rounds left.

After van Gisbergen claimed Saturday’s Gold Coast opener, Whincup held out his trans-Tas-

man team-mate to clinch line honours in the second 300km race at the notorious street circuit on Sunday.

It was a shot in the arm for Whincup who was dismissed as “un-Australian” by Supercars boss James Warburton for launching a controversial Bathurst 1000 appeal.

Whincup copped plenty of flak after his team’s failed protest against a 15-second time penalty that cost him a fifth Bathurst 1000 crown.

Cheika rant ‘calculated’

Sam Grant, president of the Methven Rugby Club and fighter in the Dubliner Fight Night.

Budding boxers hit the ring

By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

The upcoming Dubliner Fight Night has attracted people from all over Methven, including the president of the rugby club.

Sam Grant, Methven Rugby Club president, said he was ap-

proached by the organisers to have the event hosted in the clubrooms.

Originally Grant said he wasn’t planning on fighting but later changed his mind.

In the past month he has been training along with the other 30

fighters to pick up some basic boxing knowledge.

The 36-year-old said he has never had any fighting experience and he’s now realised how much hard work goes into boxing.

Grant said he is excited for the

fight on Saturday, December 10 however, he said there is a little anxiety ahead of the fight.

At the moment, the 6’2” fighter said they’re learning control when they spar during the weekly training sessions on Tuesdays and Sundays.

Scratch riders reel in the breakaway bunch – just The back markers found the front of the race inside the last 600m of Tinwald Cycling Club’s 45km handicap event around the Dawsons Road block on Sunday.

A bold effort from a breakaway group came agonisingly close to holding out the charging scratch markers, but it wasn’t to be.

Scratch rider Steve Hands found the line to claim the victory and fastest time honours covering the distance in 63.31.

Co-marker Tony Ward stormed into second place with junior rider Bailey O’Donnell in the thick of the finish, securing third place.

The juniors and division 2 con-

tested a 15km handicap event.

Ethan Titheridge continued his great form and secured second fastest time honours. Oliver Davidson claimed second place, pushing Ethan right to the line.

Caitlin Titheridge made it a good day for the Titheridge stable, taking third place.

Les Brown took division 2 glory seeing to the challenge of Beth Begg.

Jack Templeton claimed the junior development win, edging out Emma Begg.

Next week the club will contest a 48km handicap event around the Grahams Road block.

Far from being a “maniac” who lost his cool, one observer believes there was plenty of calculation behind Michael Cheika’s post-game rant.

The Wallabies coach stole most the headlines after the All Blacks’ Bledisloe Cup victory at Eden Park, disappointed with the referee and particularly aggrieved with a Weekend Herald caricature that portrayed him as a clown.

Cheika accused the All Blacks of working in co-operation with the Herald in publishing the cartoon, comments which led Steve Hansen to tell his counterpart to “stop whining”.

But Daily Telegraph rugby expert Iain Payten, who regularly covers Cheika said the coach was a complicated figure.

“He’s a hard chap to fully put your finger on,” Payten said. “He’s red-blooded and he mostly tells it how he sees it.

“And he’s the first to admit that he can fly off the handle every now and then.

“Getting to the point about his emotional outbursts, that’s something that the players watch and observe, and you’d be surprised how many of them say they really get something out of that, when he goes into bat for the team or the jersey or the country.

“He’s not the maniac that people think – there’s a bit of strategy behind that.”

Payten said while Cheika was clearly upset about the cartoon in question, the feeling among Wallabies fans was more one of bemusement.

He also felt Cheika’s reaction would have been more satisfying to those supporters than what had happened after previous defeats against the All Blacks.

“I don’t think it’s a huge deal.

“I think it’s probably just reflective more of Michael Cheika’s feisty personality,” Payten said of the cartoon.

“Cheika’s trying to instil a bit of fire in his team and that’s the way he knows how.”

In brief Proteas getting warm Sourh Africa’s cricketers have ticked the first proverbial box of their Australian tour. Fast bowlers flexed their muscles and most key batsmen made runs in a low-key tour opener in Adelaide at the weekend. South Africa made 415, bowled a Cricket Australia XI out for 103, then posted 4-181 in their second innings of the two-day pink-ball match. Paceman Dale Steyn was eye-catching with 2-9 from six overs.

Aussies girding up National selectors are close to settling on Australia’s XI for the first test according to skipper Steve Smith, who has vowed to nurse Mitchell Starc through his return this week.

Day-night Sheffield Shield contests start around the country today, when Smith will skipper a starstudded New South Wales outfit at the Gabba, Starc to play a limited role against Queensland as he returns from a badly cut leg that required 30 stitches.

Concussion woes

India’s Virat Kohli and team-mate Manish Pandey celebrate their victory over New Zealand in the third one-day international cricket match in Mohali yesterday.

Kohli outclasses Kiwis

By DaviD Leggat A thumping 151-run stand between Virat Kohli and captain MS Dhoni provided the thrust for India to take a 2-1 lead over New Zealand in their third ODI in the five-game series in Mohali yesterday.

New Zealand had given themselves a chance by reaching 285, and when India were 41 for two in the ninth over, the signs were encouraging for the tourists.

However Kohli’s 26th ODI century, 154 not out off 134 balls, combined with 80 off 91 balls

by Dhoni, who promoted himelf to No 4 in the order, turned the game around.

Kohli and Manish Pandey (28 not out) then put on an unbroken 97 off 77 balls to wrap up a sevenwicket win with 10 balls to spare.

“MS and Virat played outstanding today,” New Zealand captain Kane Williamson said after the match.

“It was a fantastic partnership which took the game away from us.”

India needed 23 off the last three overs but left armer Trent Boult was flayed for 22 in the 48th over to seal the win. ‘’We may have given a bit too much to New Zealand, but we took it as an opportunity to chase them down, because we know we are a good chasing team,” Kohli said.

“It wasn’t the easiest pitch.

“Some balls were stopping on us.”

Allrounder Jimmy Neesham’s maiden ODI half century could scarcely have come at a better time for New Zealand.

Lefthander Neesham revived a sagging New Zealand innings with 57 off 47 balls as part of a record-setting ninth-wicket stand of 84 with seamer Matt Henry, who finished on 39 off 37 balls.

New Zealand, sent in after losing a sixth straight toss on tour, made a flying start with a brace of sixes by opener Martin Guptill.

However from 80 for two in 13 overs, New Zealand lost some momentum but the innings fell apart after Tom Latham and Ross Taylor had put on 73 for the third wicket.

New Zealand lost four for 16 in 21 balls at one point, six for 46 in 57 balls, before Neesham and Henry put a late kick into the innings.

It made depressing viewing as it happened in good batting conditions.

Innocuous offspinner Kedar Jadhav took three for 29 off five overs while legspinner Amit Mishra had both Taylor and Luke Ronchi stumped with fine deliveries.

Sweeping and driving impressively, Neesham had strong support from Henry, who at one point took 14 balls in three successive Umesh Yadav deliveries in the 49th over.

The stand ended in the penultimate over when Neesham skied a catch to deep cover.

It suggested New Zealand have hidden strength with eight wickets down.

At Dharamsala in the opening ODI, Latham and Southee put on 71 for the ninth wicket.

“Obviously it was frustrating to lose those wickets in the middle in a clump, we were probably looking at a bit more at that stage,” Williamson said. ‘’But the lower-order performed really well.

“Neesham and Henry were outstanding. ‘’To lose those wickets and end up on 280, we were pleased.

“Maybe we wanted more, but with early wickets we could have made it harder.”

Kohli had a big slice of good fortune in the fifth over of India’s chase, when he was dropped by Taylor at wide slip.

Kohli had glanced a ball from Henry towards third man but didn’t take account of Taylor’s placement.

The ball flew low to Taylor, he got both hands to the ball but dropped it. ‘’A bit of luck went my way. I feel sorry for Ross,” Kohli said. ‘’It’s never easy to drop a catch and the batsman carries through.

“I’ve done that, and Brendon (McCullum) got 300 in Wellington,” he added referring to the in-

nings in which McCullum made 302 at Wellington in 2014.

Williamson accepted the dropped catch as “part of the game. You want to catch them all, it doesn’t always happen.”

Kohli’s century was his 26th in ODI cricket.

Only three batsmen have scored more and all in far more innings than Kohli’s 166.

The great Sachin Tendulkar stands supreme with 49 ODI centuries.

He took 247 innings to reach his 26th.

Australian Ricky Ponting (30 centuries) needed 286 and Sri Lankan Sanath Jayasuriya (28) 402.

Kohli’s average, 52.9 at a strike rate of 90.49, is eight run an innings higher than Tendulkar’s average.

Fourteen of Kohli’s hundreds have come in successful run chases, equal to the mark of Tendulkar.

Dhoni became the most prolific hitter of sixes in ODIs by an Indian, overtaking Sachin Tendulkar’s mark.

He also went past 9000 ODI runs, the fifth Indian to the feat.

Boult’s figures, none for 73, were his poorest in ODIs. Only one New Zealand bowler, Chris Drum, has conceded more runs in an ODI in India, 85 in Hyderabad in 1999.

The fourth ODI is at Ranchi tomorrow.

NSW have been forced to rule two batsmen out of their Sheffield Shield opener because of concussion.

Brownlie sends message In an opening round of Plunket Shield cricket where top-order centuries have been in fashion, Dean Brownlie sent a reminder to the New Zealand selectors with a ton of his own. The Northern Districts opener struck 104 against Canterbury, combining in a 174-run partnership with fellow former intern-ational Daniel Flynn, and making a promising start to the season after an under-achieving campaign last summer. Although Jeet Raval seems to be the next top-order cab off the rank for the Black Caps in the test arena, Brownlie, who has played 14 tests, can put his name back in contention with strong domestic displays.

India to use DRS India will use the Decision Review System in a home test cricket series for the first time against England next month. However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India said DRS will be on trial in the five-match series while it evaluates improvements in the system. The inconsistency in the predictive path of the ball after delivery, and impact in lbw decisions, was long a bone of contention for the BCCI. International Cricket Council and Hawk-Eye officials met with BCCI officials on Thursday to address their long-held concerns and suggestions. BCCI President Anurag Thakur said they were happy with Hawk-Eye’s upgrades of DRS. - PA

NZ Cup favouritism confirmed

By Steve Devereux

steve.d@theguardian.co.nz

The All Stars stable picked up yet another big one yesterday when Lazarus cruised home in the $50,000 Ashburton Trust Flying Stakes at the Ashburton Raceway.

Lazarus, with Mark Purdon in the sulky, was slow to begin, while Mighty Flying Mac (John Dunn), Tiger Tara (Gerard O’Reilly) and Christen Me (Dexter Dunn) bolted away from the pack, putting

eight lengths on the rest early on.

Down the front straight for the first time Tiger Tara took the lead, and it was single file round the main highway corner, with Lazarus bringing the others back up to the leading three.

Purdon and Lazarus motored up to the leaders at the 1100, taking Have Faith In Me (Natalie Rasmussen) with him, while third favourite Christen Me drifted back to last, and that’s how it

stayed until the fireworks started at the 500.

Purdon was making sure Lazarus was keeping his mind on the job while looking around for the challengers, but Have Faith In Me was still his closest rival.

Tiger Tara, after securing a nice trail down the back straight, was looking interested when Lazarus drifted off the rail and opened up the passing lane, but then broke up under pressure.

Christen Me had come from the back and along with Field Marshall (Blair Orange) they staked their claims down the middle of the track, but the allconquering All Stars had this one well under control, and Lazarus, a four-year-old Bettor’s DelightBethany horse, added another $33,000 to an already bulging bank account.

The favourites’ First4 combination yielded a meagre $22.20.

Purton on Sacred Elixir Zac Purton will be reunited with the New Zealand three-yearold Sacred Elixir in Saturday’s $A1.5 million Gr.1 VRC Derby at Flemington. The Hong Kong-based Australian won the Gr.1 JJ Atkins Stakes at Eagle Farm last season aboard the Tony Pike-trained son of Pour Moi. The gelding won Saturday’s Gr.2 Moonee Valley Vase in the hands of Damian Lane, but Purton has always had first call on the Derby mount.

Derby dream still on Former Cambridge trainers Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young are keen to back up Anaheim into Saturday’s $A1.5 million Gr.1 VRC Derby. The now Cranbourne-based couple produced Anaheim to win a middle distance maiden at Benalla on Monday, with the winning stake enough to gain him a start at Flemington. “If he comes through this okay then I think we have to have a crack at it,” Young said.

Campbell lifts sights The well-related Gobstopper ran his rivals ragged at Te Rapa and trainer Andrew Campbell may not plot a path to a feature staying event. Aided by a confident frontrunning ride from apprentice Tim Johnson, the brother to the dual Hong Kong Group One winner Werther recorded his second consecutive win when successful in yesterday’s Skycity Hamilton Waikato Cup 10th December 2100.

“He’s coming of age this horse,” Campbell said. “We might try and sneak him into a cup race now with a light weight.”

New $128m grandstand The Victoria Racing Club will farewell 92 years of history at the end of the Melbourne Cup carnival. The members’ Old Grandstand will be demolished and a new $128 million Club Stand will be built in time for next year’s Cup. The Victorian government, Racing Victoria and Tabcorp have all injected funds towards the project which will incorporate five levels including a rooftop garden. VRC chief executive Simon Love said the new stand was a celebration of the history, character and joy of Flemington racecourse.

Floozie to head south

■ MYSTERY SHOW

Southern trip confirmed

Mystery Show with Mark Du Plessis aboard.

“We didn’t want to knock her around and give her a really hard run by pressuring her to get on the speed.

“I was surprised how she picked them up – she looked a bit flat at one stage.

“She was very strong to the line though and it was a very good Guineas trial.”

Mystery Show is now the joint fourth favourite at $8 with Honey Rider behind the $4 fancy La Diosa for the Riccarton feature.

“She pulled up as good as ever after Ellerslie and she feels fantastic in her action,” Bridge said. “The mile and the big track will suit her.”

Mystery Show has won two of her five starts and she has yet to finish out of the money. Her placings include a third in the Gr.3 Gold Trail Stakes. - NZME

The fillies’ classic at Riccarton next month can’t roll around soon enough for James Bridge.

The source of the Byerley Park trainer’s impatience is Mystery Show, who ran a cracking trial for the Gr.1 gavelhouse.com New Zealand 1000 Guineas with her powerful finish for third in the Listed Soliloquy Stakes at Ellerslie.

“I’ve never travelled a horse south before and November 12 can’t come quickly enough,” Bridge said.

“It’s an exciting time.”

Mystery Show drew an outside gate on Saturday and it was always the intention for rider Mark Du Plessis to drop back.

“I thought we had the best filly in the race, but from that draw it was always going to be hard for her,” Bridge said.

Thee Auld Floozie’s travelling fund for Christchurch was further swelled by another timely deposit at Te Rapa yesterday.

Following her previous success at Rotorua earlier this month, a dominant display from the fiveyear-old saw her also claim the lion’s share of the stake in the Seafood Bazaar 1600.

Thee Auld Floozie’s odds have now been trimmed from $18 to $10 for the Gr.2 Coupland’s Bakeries Mile while Seize The Moment, a sound fourth behind his stablemate at Te Rapa, has gone the other way and he is now an $18 chance for the November 9 feature.

“She had a beautiful weight (54kg) today and that will top her off nicely for the Coupland’s,” trainer Stephen Marsh said.

“She’s a very good mare and from the inside draw she was always going to be a big player if she jumped okay.”

PUBLIC NOTICES

Maurinho, Conte clash Antonio Conte was unapologetic after Jose Mourinho appeared to take exception to the Chelsea head coach asking for more from the Stamford Bridge faithful in yesterday’s 4-0 Premier League win over Manchester United.

Mourinho, twice sacked by Chelsea after three times winning the Premier League title, was embarrassed on his return in opposition as United imploded.

The United boss spoke at length to Conte at the final whistle, with suggestions the Portuguese had been annoyed that the Italian had encouraged the home support to cheer on the Blues when they were already 4-0 up.

Reports in Italian media said Mourinho told Conte: “You don’t celebrate like that at 4-0, you can do it at 1-0, otherwise it’s humiliating for us.”

And the self-proclaimed Special One insisted the conversation should be private, despite choosing to conduct it in front of 41,000 people and the Stamford Bridge press box.

“I speak to Conte, I don’t speak to you (the media),” Mourinho said.

“It was me and Antonio and stays with me and him.

“Unless he wants to share.”

Conte declined to do so.

“I’ve been a player too and I know how to behave,” Conte told Sky Italia.

“I always show great respect for everyone, including Manchester United.

“There was no incident, it was just a normal thing to do.

Jose Mourinho “I wasn’t mocking anyone, I wouldn’t do that.”

The Chelsea head coach added in his post-match press conference: “Today it was right to call our fans in a moment (when) I was listening (to) only the supporters of Manchester United, at 4-0.

“The players, after a 4-0 win, deserved a great clap.

“It’s very normal.

“If we want to cut the emotion we can go home and change our job.”

The Chelsea fans once derided by Mourinho, who had described playing at Stamford Bridge like playing in an empty stadium, responded.

And Conte hopes Chelsea take some confidence from a third successive win and third straight clean sheet following their defeats of Hull and Leicester.

“They deserve this type of performance, this type of win,” he added.

“When you work very hard, it’s important to win.

“When you win you trust in your work.”

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Just because you know you’re not going to touch that bird flying overhead doesn’t mean you shouldn’t reach up for it.

It’s the spirit of the reaching that matters.

Stretch in joy instead of in longing.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Right when you start to teeter on the edge of becoming terribly bored (which is actually more dangerous than it sounds) something mysterious and improbable will inspire a sense of wonder.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): So, a few myths have been dispelled, though you may not have wanted them to be. Now you’re wondering what, if anything, you should believe in. A good place to start is with believing in belief itself.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You give your loved ones your tenderness, but you don’t let them get away with lazy excuses or crummy attitudes, either.

You’ll uphold your self-given responsibility to keep it real in the relationship.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): In some ways you have consented to play a role just as a hypnotised person consents to being hypnotised. The part of you that agreed to this may be having doubts. Wake up and change the dynamic.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): When in doubt about what to buy, get back to simplicity and economy. It’s very possible that the item that tries to do too many things cannot do the one thing you most need it to do extremely well.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Information will be offered to you in hard copy or digital format.

Today you’re likely to give the hard copy better quality attention, because physical interaction will touch you on a visceral level.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You will be asked to join in an activity that you may have been more interested in once upon a time, but that moment has passed. It now occurs to you, rather secretly that you’ve outgrown it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): There are things you know that conceptual thinking can’t grasp.

It’s better not to mentally grapple as you surge with the connective energy that carries you through and that is you at the same time.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): There may be an issue of supply and demand. This doesn’t mean either party is flawed. One simply wants more than the other wants to give. The realisation of this is the start of the solution.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): After all this time, you’re actually still getting to know someone. If you assume to already know, you’re sunk for learning. Go on and ask the questions you think you already have the answers to.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You prefer to have control so you don’t always show how you feel. Be sure you’re not pushing the feeling down.

Acknowledge the emotion, if only to yourself.

Sport One-match ban for Mumm Wallabies flanker Dean Mumm has been handed a one-match ban for foul play during his team’s third Bledisloe Cup Test loss to the All Blacks. Mumm pleaded guilty to a charge of striking after being cited for the 52nd minute incident which was missed by referee Nigel Owens.

The ban means he will miss the November 5 Test against Wales in Cardiff. Duty judicial officer Robert Stelzner said Mumm had elbowed Brodie Retallick after he had been held back by the All Blacks lock.

The loss of two test stars has forced late changes to the Fast5 Ferns for this weekend’s World Series in Melbourne. Versatile midcourter Kayla Cullen was ruled out of the tournament last month after succumbing to a foot injury, while shooter Ameliaranne Ekenasio has withdrawn due to illness. Rookie shooter Jamie Hume, who impressed for championship winning Netball South team in this year’s Beko League, will come into the line-up for Ekenasio, while Cullen has been replaced by Steel defender Jane Watson.

Losing streak broken Reigning Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton produced a flawless performance to win the US Grand Prix from Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg yesterday.

Hamilton started from pole and, with a smooth start, led from start to finish at the Circuit of the Americans to end a fiverace losing streak.

Rosberg lost a spot at the start but recovered to finish around 4.52 seconds behind Hamilton with Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo completing the podium in third.

Hamilton has now won four of the five US Grands Prix held in Austin, Texas, where he clinched the 2015 championship, and this

50th career success could prove crucial as the season draws to a close.

Rosberg, however, remains firmly in charge of the current standings as he searches for his maiden title.

He leads Hamilton by 26 points with three races remaining, starting next week in Mexico, where he could even clinch the title with victory if Hamilton finishes outside the top 10.

The German would have been well aware of Hamilton’s problems starting this season and perhaps this led him to be overly aggressive in trying to make up ground in the race to turn one.

Unable to threaten Hamilton, Rosberg simply opened the door

for Ricciardo, on the quicker super-soft tyres, for a pass which he made stick around the next corners.

“The start went OK,” Ricciardo said.

“The plan was to get both Mercedes, but we only managed to get Nico in the end.”

Rosberg admitted he “lost out a bit” in the opening dash but “gave everything to come back.”

While the leading pack got away cleanly, Nico Huelkenberg had to retire his Force India after being shunted between the Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel and the Williams of Valtteri Bottas.

Esteban Gutierrez also retired early in a disappointment for Haas at their home grand prix.

Red Bull pitted Australian Ricciardo after nine laps and Rosberg followed suit, returning on mediums with the intention of going for a long mid-race stint.

Hamilton went in a lap later but stayed with softs and could easily manage his advantage when he returned in the lead.

“I love being here in the States, it feels like home,” Hamilton said. “The team did a great job this weekend.”

Max Verstappen, who started fourth on the grid, surprised his team on lap 27 by jumping in for an unscheduled stop having misheard a radio instruction and his race shuddered to an end soon after with a gearbox problem.

No disrespect intended Wayne Bennett has denied accusations from new France head coach Aurelien Cologni that England had disrespected their hosts in the lead-up to their 40-6 win on Sunday. Cologni claimed the England side showed a lack of respect by flying in and out of Avignon on the day of the game on a chartered flight. “There was no suggestion that we were trying to be smart,” Bennett said. “I thought it was great to be here. Watching France, you’ve got to be optimistic about what they can do going forward if they hold it together and try to build from here.”
