■ ASHBURTON INTERMEDIATE

BYO electronic device, nice, but optional for intermediate By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@the guardian.co.nz

Unlike his counterparts in many parts of New Zealand, Ashburton Intermediate School principal Brent Gray won’t be pressuring his students to start the new school year with their own laptop or tablet. While many intermediate schools now require all students to bring their own (BYO) device to school, Gray said that’s a move his school won’t be making. “Yes, we encourage it but it’s certainly not compulsory; anything a child brings is a bonus for us,” he said. The school equips each classroom with 15 laptops, one between two students if no-one brings their own, but the reality is there are always several students in each class who bring their own, Gray said. The number varies depending on the makeup of the class, but can be 12 or more. “We’d love to see all children do this but we’d never put that expectation on the kids and families.” For families who wanted their child to bring their own device to school, Gray said his recommenda-

tions were the same as those given for Ashburton College to ensure the device could be taken through to their secondary years.

In an ideal world the school would provide access to a device for every child in a classroom, but even leasing half the number carved a

significant swathe from the school’s operations grant, he said. In addition to classroom laptops, the school had an IT lab with

30 desk top computers. It had also kept some of its older computers to boost access, and that provided additional opportunities for students to have sole access to a device, Gray said. Since last year Ashburton College has expected students to bring their own devices to support their learning, but it also provides devices to ensure students who do not have a laptop or tablet do not miss out. During the year principal Ross Preece introduced a scheme where a student could undertake work where their wages went towards earning their own device and while this was popular with students, its success was limited by the number of employers coming forward, he said. He’s keen to run the project again this year and hopes there will be more job offers made. Around 20 per cent of college students do not have their own device. The school does allocate three Chromebooks to each teacher for use during class time and these can also be booked by students wanting to work out of class time.

■ WEATHER

Temperatures set to soar Canterbury is set to sizzle with a heatwave setting in on Sunday. Next week is looking very warm with air from Australia and minimal high cloud cover. “From Sunday through to Friday next week we can expect widespread temperatures in thirties,” Canterbury Weather Updates (CWU) analyst Russell Voice said. “In fact, sheltered parts of Canterbury may record 30°C for five days straight – almost unheard of in New Zealand.” Temperatures will start to warm up over the weekend Voice said, with the mercury pushing into the mid-twenties on Saturday for

most areas and towards or over 30°C on Sunday. “Monday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon at this stage is looking very warm, with widespread heat across the region. “Thirty degrees is looking likely for almost everyone, with some eastern spots across the Canterbury Plains and Coast looking at 32-33°C. “There is increasing confidence this hot weather will continue right through until Friday next week with temperatures set to remain in the high twenties and early thirties.” CWU has forecast Ashbur-

ton tipping 30°C on Monday and Tuesday, and then hovering around 26°C for the remainder of the week, with a chance of another 30°C day on Friday. Voice said the heatwave was due to a large area of high pressure, a warm air-flow from Australia, and minimal high cloud cover from the west. “Our sea temperatures are also above average and we have had a warm lead-up period. Put it all together and you have the perfect recipe for some serious heat.” After a week of soaring temperatures, Voice said there was a strong indication of a southerly

change next Saturday which may bring a period of scattered rain and showers. Canterbury Medical Officer of Health Dr Alistair Humphrey said older people, children and those with underlying medical conditions are most at risk from the impacts of heat stress. “It’s especially important to stay out of the sun, avoid extreme physical exertion and ensure that babies, children, and elderly people (and pets) are not left alone in stationary cars.” Humphrey said extreme heat can affect blood pressure and hydration, and he urges people to

seek help if they feel dizzy, weak or have intense thirst or a headache. “Good hydration is key, try to consume at least two litres of water a day and avoid drinking alcohol in the hot weather as it speeds up dehydration.” “Look after each other and keep an eye out for your mates who may not be aware that they are getting overheated.” As well as being SunSmart (slip, slop, slap and wrap) if outdoors, residents are advised to keep their houses cool by opening windows to get a breeze, closing curtains to keep the sun out and consider using the cool cycle on heat pumps.

“We had an end-of-the-year clearout sale of our secondhand cars. We promoted this in the Guardian with a full page ad. We were happy, when we asked potential customers how they heard about the sale, when they said the Guardian. The ad worked for us.”

■ SHEAR FOR LIFE

Taking shearing to a new level By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Take three mates, 3000 sheep and a generous farmer and you have a fundraising event that could touch hundreds of lives. That event, Shear for Life, was born over a few beers in an Aussie pub and will play out in Dick and Suzanne Ewing’s shearing shed next month. It will see 70 of the world’s best shearers, most over the age of 50, race against the clock to shear 3000 sheep in eight hours. Rocky Bull and mates Alan Bramley (Bimbo) and Steven Lynch (Dixy) were winding down after a hard day in the shed. They poured a beer, started yarning and decided it was time to get some of their old mates together. A few beers later and that reunion had morphed into a get-together that might raise a few dollars for charity. Bull and Bramley returned home and the reunion was pushed onto the back burner for a few months, but a phone call from Lynch asking what they were doing about the get-together saw it kick-started back into action. And from there, Bull said, it seemed to get a life of its own. The idea sounded simple. Get a big group of over 50 shearers together, shear a certain number of sheep during a day and raise a bit of money for cancer support groups. Bull asked a few mates if they were willing to come on board, they asked their mates and overnight he had lists of shearers, rousies, shed hands and supporters who wanted to be part of the event. At that point, Bull said, he knew he had a monster on his hands. His solution was to call on friend Sandra Curd. “I knew there was no-one better to get this thing organised. I went straight to the top; we’d be stuffed without her,” he said. Four weeks out, Bull said plenty of the boxes have now been ticked – 60 over 50 male shearers and 10 mixed age women on board, 3000

Zara Bull, part of the team pulling out all the stops to raise money for cancer support groups with a Shear for Life event to be held on February 23. PHOTO SUPPLIED cross bred lambs to shear, dozens of items donated for auctions and raffles, catering taken care of. The list goes on. When he looks at the list of shearers Bull said it reads like a who’s who of the shearing world. “Most of the shearers who’re not locals are competition winners and record holders and I’m still getting calls from people who want to be part of it,” Bull said. Some of those who’ll be on the board are well over 70, but they’ll do their turn the same as their younger counterparts. And there are four ex-All Blacks among them – Sir Brian Lahore, Andy Earl, Jock Ross and Buck Shelford (spectator only), he said.

He’s paying contract rates to the shearers and they’re donating the cash to charity. And pre-event he’s paying to have those 3000 lambs belly crutched to make shearing easier – and cleaner on the day. And sponsors have put their hands up, given and kept on giving, he said. The marathon shear can be viewed from the woolshed floor or on screen in a shed side marquee. Wool will be taken from the board and pressed outside to create a larger in-shed viewing space. Shearers will work in relays of eight changing every 20 to 30 minutes. As well as being a charity fund-

raiser, the event is a good opportunity for people who may not have been inside a shearing shed to see how the process works, Bull said. As the event wraps up a number of items will be auctioned including a signed All Black jersey, a signed shearer’s singlet, a helicopter ride and an accommodation package. Shear for Life will be held on February 23 from 8am to 4pm in the Ewing Family woolshed on Hendersons Road, Hinds. Entry is by gold coin donation. Beneficiaries will be the Ashburton Cancer Support and the national prostate and breast cancer organisations.

“Seventeen of the shearers taking part are either current or exworld record holders and several of the women were in the She Shears movie. The line up is pretty incredible. This is much bigger than I ever imagined,” Bull said. While he’s rounded up the shearing teams and Curd‘s pulled the many strands of the event together, the fundraiser would have fallen over without the Ewing family and event sponsors, Bull said. “I originally approached Dick because I thought his shed had eight stands. It only had seven so I said I’d go elsewhere, but no, he said he’d extend his shed plus he put in a new shower and kitchen.”

■ EA NETWORKS CENTRE

The curtains are hung and the stadium back in business By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It’s been a month of more work than customers at Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre but, from today, business will be booming with the centre now workman free. The final piece in the summer work project wrapped up yesterday with the completion of an $80,000 project that saw retractable curtains hung between four playing courts in the stadium. The work was necessary, Ashburton District Council service delivery group manager Neil McCann said, to ensure activities on one court did not impact on activities on another. This would now mean more than one sporting code could safely use the court area at a time, he said. “It’s giving us lots more options for utilising this space and will see the stadium even better used without one group impacting on another. We want it to be a safe environment for everyone,” he said. The court curtains can be electronically rolled down from the ceiling as required. Earlier this month the pool complex was closed for two weeks while routine maintenance work, involving joint seal replacement, was carried out.

Police release online reporting option After a successful trial, police have released an online tool to enable the public to report lost property and intentional property damage on their website www.police.govt. nz “Online reporting is part of a drive by police to bring real change to the way we deliver our services to the public. We want people to be able to contact us anywhere, anytime and through a variety of ways,” assistant commissioner service Jevon

McSkimming said. “Online reporting is being run as a trial and since it went live on November 22, 2018, police havereceived more than 3700 reports online. “We plan to expand the online service this year so people can report general theft, theft from a car and shoplifting.” A new centralised telephone service for non-emergency calls in all 12 police districts has been

introduced as well. All calls to stations are now answered centrally by the crime reporting line. “If a query can’t be resolved by the call-taker, callers can be put through to their local station for the matter to be dealt with by a local staff member. This provides the certainty that your call will be answered and the flexibility for it to be dealt with efficiently,” McSkimming said.

“The new Police Digital Services Centre is up and running in Kapiti with staff answering non-emergency calls and processing online reports. “Furthermore, a single non-emergency number, on track to be delivered this year, will give people a national number to get in contact with police about non-emergency matters.” The new service is expected to take some volume of calls out of

the 111 system and allow police to provide a better service to people who want to contact them but do not require an emergency response. “We have a goal of achieving 90 per cent public trust and confidence. The professional and timely response we provide in both emergency and non-emergency situations is a key contributor to the confidence the public has in us,” McSkimming said.

“YOU fashion pages work a treat for me. Over the two years I have been advertsing in YOU I have people coming in every month enquiring about the advertised products. They come in with the magazine or with the page pulled out – you can’t get a better reponse to your advertising than that!”

Meet Brent Pope and be impressed by his easy manner, his welcoming smile. Read his bio and be impressed by his public achievements. But there’s much more to this Kiwi-Irishman. He talks to reporter Sue Newman about his struggle with the mental health issues that have been the hidden part of his public life.

darkness into light C

lothing designer, rugby pundit, accomplished public speaker and author, Brent Pope is all of these, but he’s also a man who walks with anxiety as an unwelcome companion. The former Ashburtonian now lives in Ireland but says he’s still very much a Kiwi at heart. When the chips are down, it’s the support of family and old friends who make it easier to walk from darkness into light, he says. Like many Kiwis, Brent headed off overseas after university. He was a more than halfway decent rugby player, earning his stripes for Otago and had two playing opportunities on the table – Italy or Ireland. The choice was easy. “I took Ireland because I wanted to be somewhere that was English speaking, so I agreed to go for three months.” He’s ended up staying, possibly for life. For a season or two Brent tried to juggle back-to-back rugby winters, but it was too tough. A casual offer to be part of a commentary panel when Ireland and New Zealand were playing in the 1995 South African Rugby World Cup was to change his life. “I was on my way home so I said I’d do the one game. It seemed to be so popular they said would I stay and do all of the games. They said they’d pay half my airfare home if I agreed. I did and I’ve done virtually every game since and I’m the longest server on the rugby panel in the country.” He might watch New Zealand from the other side of the commentary box, but his heart’s always with the boys from home, Brent said. “I don’t mind if Ireland wins matches, but when it’s the World Cup matches, I’ll always root for New Zealand.” The Irish-Kiwi is also a man of fashion. He has his own shirt and shoe label – Pope – with his shoes sold in more than 100 stores and his shirts in 50. It might seem an odd mix, rugby and fashion, but when you’ve grown up with a fashionconscious mother, it’s almost a no-brainer. “She was always so fashionable. You’d open cupboard doors and it’d be death by hats, so I guess I grew up with a love of clothes. Even when I was at university I was sending overseas for clothing. On TV my clothing’s all sponsored and I think I got to the stage where I thought, ‘I know enough about design, why not do it?’ ” Always looking for new challenges, Brent has also been involved in art galleries, has sung publicly and if he hadn’t been about to make a visit home, he’d have been on the floor as one of Ireland’s Dancing with the Stars competitors. He’s a man who is rarely still. “My mum and dad gave me a good work ethic. In Ireland they call me Project Pope because I

Taking a break back home in Ashburton, Kiwi-Irishman Brent Pope. always have five things on the go at once.” That’s the public side of Brent Pope. The private side is very different. Take away rugby, take away his clothing label, take away the affable, easy-going front. Strip Brent Pope bare and he’s a man who battles anxiety – every day. He fears failure and at times stares into a black void. He’s learned coping strategies and understanding how these can change your life now drives Brent to help others. “I’ve had anxiety issues throughout my life and my purpose for the last five years has been speaking about men’s mental health, a bit like a junior version of John Kirwan I suppose.” As a rugby-playing Kiwi Brent knows how hard it is for men to

ask for help. “I felt like a complete failure. Even as a child I knew this was not the way I should feel, but I didn’t know what to do about it. I’d have panic attacks, extreme distress. It just doesn’t let you move forward.” Anxiety is common, particularly for young people today who are under pressure to achieve, to look, think and be a certain way. And it also hits older people, he said. “There’s so much pressure at say 65. It’s no longer retirement age and people are struggling, wondering where they get a job because they need to work longer.” There’s no simple way out of the anxiety or depression trap. Dealing with it means getting professional help and support, so you can get your life back on the level, Brent said.

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 170119-SN-0019

He says his most important work now are his speaking engagements – on anxiety and mental health rather than rugby. He’s also written self-help books and hopes that between the two he’s making a difference in a few lives. “Anything I did on the rugby field or on television pales into insignificance when someone says I saved their life. I’m awestruck. If I touch one person, then my job is done.” For many men it’s a big ask for them to listen to someone talk about mental health, but Brent recalls a time when 500 construction workers were corralled into a room to listen to him speak. At best, they were reluctant, but after 40 minutes he received a standing ovation. In the following days he received 60 emails from men who had issues, who needed

help. That simply shows the depth of need, Brent said. “And it shows we can still be manly and talk about our problems. “They see me as a big strong Kiwi guy who sought help, they see if I can, then they can too. I get it, I’ve been there. For so many years I felt it was a weakness, a shame. I had everything anyone could ever want but I couldn’t see it.” Today when he stands in front of an audience, his anxiety is always there, but he now knows how to handle it. “It’s always very emotional for me. I’m scraping over areas of my life I don’t really like. I’ll still come home shaking. I still have a problem with people judging me without knowing me.” When people ask how he can stand in front of a crowd of strangers and talk about his own mental health issues, he tells his story about someone who struggled, someone who sought help hoping that may empower others to seek help too. Brent recently published a new book, Win, with psychotherapist and sportsman Jason Brennan. They interviewed over 40 top sportspeople across a range of sporting codes and the one common thread was that each had built resilience into their lives. “Top level sport is not all about glory, it’s lonely too and you need resilience and support from family and friends.” When it comes to the future, Brent might be firmly focused on encouraging others to find their way through the anxiety and depression maze, and he might still be living with those conditions himself, but that does not stop him looking forward. He’s bubbling with ideas – a sports academy for young people, bringing a celebrity Irish chef to New Zealand to cook, film and talk Kiwi food and doing the reverse with a Kiwi chef in Ireland and taking his speaking engagements into the business sector. “This is part of my psychological make up. I’m not one for sitting around and thinking woe is me. It’s not good for an anxietydriven person to have too much time to think,” he said, While his feet are firmly in Ireland, he admits he hasn’t totally given up on the idea of coming back to live in New Zealand – maybe. He’s retained close friends in Ashburton, but transferring his current life to New Zealand would be difficult because his television and public-speaking work is largely unknown here. Ultimately, that wouldn’t bother him, that work is not the most important thing in his life. While he’s happy being a wellknown “plastic paddy”, he said he’d far rather be remembered for being a man of kindness and empathy, than for any of his public achievements.

■ AUSTRALIA

Fire threat deepens People are being told to stay out of the bush during Australia’s long weekend as fires rage across Tasmania. There were 53 fires listed in Tasmania yesterday morning, with 29 active. About 66,000 have been burnt by the fires and 500 fire personnel are battling them, including 145 from interstate and New Zealand. Fire activity at Lynch Hill rapidly increased and the blaze is burning through buttongrass, prompting emergency warnings and text alerts for Zeehan and Renison Bell areas on Friday, authorities say. “People in those areas who wish to leave early are asked to travel south to Queenstown and/or north-east to Waratah and beyond,” the Tasmanian Fire Service said. “The best thing people can do in these conditions is leave early, because it is the safest possible thing to do.” An evacuation centre was open at Queenstown Basketball Stadium. Communities in the highland lakes area were reminded to stay on high alert, with emergency warnings in place for Shannon, Waddamana, Pen-

Another evacuation centre was open at the Huonville PCYC for those affected by the fire in the Tahune area. Very high fire danger ratings are already being detected in central parts of the state and the ratings could increase as the day and heat wears on.

Authorities are telling people not to camp in bushland this weekend, with a total fire ban in place statewide until Monday. “In these extreme fire danger conditions, it is not safe to camp in areas surrounded by bush,” the TFS warns. The hazard was set to peak from 5am yesterday, with temperatures in the high 30s and wind gusts of up to 90km/h

US returning asylum seekers to Mexico The US government is starting to return migrants seeking asylum to the Mexican border city of Tijuana, US and Mexican officials say, marking the start of a major policy shift by the Trump administration. The policy dubbed the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) and first announced on December 20 will return non-Mexican migrants who cross the US southern border back to wait in Mexico while their asylum requests are processed in US immigration courts. The plan is aimed at curbing the increasing number of families arriving from Central America who say they fear returning to their home countries due to

threats of violence. The Trump administration says many of the claims are not valid. The programme will apply to arriving migrants who ask for asylum at ports of entry or who are caught crossing illegally and say they are afraid to return home. Children travelling on their own and some migrants from “vulnerable populations” could be excluded on a case-bycase basis, the Department of Homeland Security said. Illegal crossings at the southern border have dropped dramatically since highs reached in previous decades, but in recent years more families and unaccompanied children from El Salvador, Honduras and

Guatemala are migrating to the United States and asylum applications have ballooned. Last year, about 93,000 people sought asylum at the southern border, up 67 per cent from 2017, according to US government data. Asylum seekers are typically granted the right to stay in the United States while their cases are decided by a US immigration judge, but a backlog of more than 800,000 cases means the process can take years. Now, the US government says migrants will be turned away with a “notice to appear” in immigration court. They will be able to enter the United States for their hearings but will have to live in Mexico in the inter-

im. If they lose their cases, they will be deported to their home countries. It is unclear how Mexico plans to house what could be thousands of asylum seekers for the lengthy duration of their immigration proceedings. Some Mexican border towns are more violent than the cities the Central Americans left behind. The Trump administration says it is relying on a US law that allows migrants attempting to enter the United States from a contiguous country to be removed to that country. But the policy will likely be challenged in court since claiming asylum is protected under both international and US law. – RAW

Australian democracy advocate detained in Vietnam A prominent Australian democracy advocate has been detained by Vietnamese security police in Ho Chi Minh City and has not been heard from in almost two weeks, the pro-democracy group Viet Tan says. Chau Van Kham, a member of Viet Tan, was detained after he crossed the land border from Cambodia on a fact-finding trip in his native country in early January and travelled to HCMC where he met with Nguyen Van Vien, a member of the Brotherhood for Democracy. “We are mindful that the Vietnamese police have a his-

tory of framing peaceful activists with fabricated charges,” Phong Nguyen, a Viet Tan spokesman told AAP. “At the moment we still haven’t heard anything.” He said Viet Tan and the family of Kham were in close contact with the Australian foreign ministry and members of parliament. A government spokesman was unavailable for comment. Kham is a well known member of the Vietnamese community in Sydney with a long history of campaigning for human rights in Canberra. Phong said Kham was de-

tained on January 13 and held incommunicado alongside Nguyen. He has not received any Australian consular access. “The Vietnamese authorities have not released any information regarding the detention of either individual,” Phong said. “It was purely a fact finding field trip. He was not involved in any type of activities that could be deemed as political activism, he’s not involved in any type of protest.” “We are calling for the immediate release of Chau Van Kham and Nguyen Van Vien,” he said. Communist Vietnam has

taken a hard line against pro-democracy advocates. New York-based Human Rights Watch says Vietnam’s human rights record remains dire in all areas where the police use torture and beatings to extract confessions. “Basic rights, including freedom of speech, opinion, press, association and religion are restricted.” Kham’s detention follows the arrest of Australian-Chinese writer Yang Hengjun in Beijing. He was charged with espionage for “endangering China’s national security” and engaging in “criminal activities”. – AAP

The Edge radio station will stop playing Chris Brown’s music because of an allegation he is a rapist, it says. Music streaming service Spotify has continued to include Brown’s tunes in its most prominent New Zealand playlists. NZME, which operates The Edge’s competitor ZM, has not responded to a request for comment. Brown and two other people were taken into custody in Paris, after a woman filed a rape complaint. The trio faced charges of aggravated rape and drug infractions. A post on Brown’s Instagram page strongly denied the accusations.

Kanye West sued Kanye West has been accused of stiffing a Japanese fabric company for hundreds of thousands of dollars over his Yeezy sneakers, and they claim the hip-hop star tried to deceive them by creating a fake company so that he would never have to pay up what he owed. Japanese knitted fabric supplier Toki Sen-I Co just filed the lawsuit against Kanye West personally, as well as Yeezy Apparel, LLC. Toki Sen says shortly after 2015, they got into business with Kanye to deliver samples for upcoming Yeezy sneakers. Toki Sen says they are owed $US624,051 over the fabric, and have offered numerous payment plans to no avail.

Film loses award nod Bohemian Rhapsody has been removed as a best original film nominee at this year’s GLAAD (formerly the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) Media Awards, following new accusations of sexual assault and misconduct against director Bryan Singer. The media watchdog told Variety exclusively it has pulled the film from contention for the prize, in a weighted decision that takes a stand for sexual assault victims. Singer has consistently denied misconduct, and called the Atlantic story “a homophobic smear piece”. “In light of the latest allegations against director Bryan Singer, GLAAD has made the difficult decision to remove Bohemian Rhapsody,” GLAAD said.

Add the garlic, capsicum, spinach, oregano, cumin, paprika, lemon zest and juice, and cook for another few minutes, or until most of the moisture has evaporated. ■ Cool slightly then add to a mixing bowl with the lamb mince, couscous, tomato paste, feta, egg and

chilli (if using) and season. Mix gently with clean hands until just combined. ■ To assemble: Arrange one third of the mince filling in a neat log down the middle lengthways of one of the pre-rolled pastry sheets. Fold up both sides of the pastry snugly to meet on top, trim with 2cm overlap, and brush egg wash on both parts where the pastry joins up. Press to seal. Cut the rolls into thirds or quarters with a sharp knife and place seam-side down on the baking tray, a few centimetres apart. Repeat with remaining pastry and mince. Brush the rolls all over with the egg wash, and prick the tops a few times with a fork to let the steam escape during cooking. Sprinkle with seeds. Bake in the lower half of the oven for 40 minutes until the pastry is dark golden brown and puffy. ■ To serve: Serve with a salad and a dollop of tomato relish or chutney.

RIVERSIDE INDUSTRIAL PARK ADVERTISING FEATURE

Saturday, January 26, 2019

Ashburton Guardian

Riverside a place of thriving industry having been its original tenants, others are newcomers, but all share a work environment that comes with big benefits. Riverside is as close to town as it’s possible for a business park to be and yet it is a place of business that has its own special character. It was born out of what was then

Forty years ago it was a wilderness area, home to Ashburton’s rubbish dump, and well used by kids during long hot summer holidays as a place to play and ride bikes. But today, Ashburton’s Riverside Industrial Park is a place of thriving businesses, with some of those who call the park home,

the Ashburton Borough Council’s desire to create an area that would attract new businesses to the district but would also provide a central option for existing businesses wanting to relocate and expand. It also had the benefit of concentrating industry in one part of town rather than seeing it spread

around the outskirts. The first subdivision plans for the business park were drawn up in 1975 and included a small recreational lake. This would have been built where the EA Networks Centre stands today. That proposed lake was to be the catalyst that sparked the

development of Lake Hood. Looking towards its second half century of life, Riverside is now a thriving business hub, home to a wide range of businesses from a veterinarian and food bar to vehicle servicing, engineering and building industry related businesses and everything in between.

OUR VIEW

Back to school – back to road safety T

hey’ve spent the best part of the last couple of months lazing in the sun, hanging out with friends or even undertaking a bit of holiday work but, from next week things will come to an abrupt end for a certain part of the population of Mid Canterbury. Monday signals the return to the classroom for many youngsters across the district with others returning in dribs and drabs over the course of the next few weeks. It’s an interesting time of the year for everyone involved and, after a pretty tumultuous 2018 for some of our teaching staff locally, the prospect of getting

back into the groove and focusing on what is actually important will be welcomed. For kids, there are mixed emotions – particularly for those who are young enough not to be out working, but instead enjoy the pleasure of not being confined to the classroom five days a week. The nest becomes empty once again for those older while the

younger ones are generally quite pleased, at least in some sense, to escape their parents’ grasp. Let’s just hope that the school holidays were everything the kids of the district wanted them to be. For a few small groups, 2018 was pretty tough and a fresh start and a return to normality will be welcome distraction for both them and their families and the happiness that comes with being back around friends for an extended amount of time while learning is always a good thing. The return to the school year comes with its warnings though, particularly for those of us who are road users.

Over the past few weeks you’ve become accustomed to the roads being barren during certain parts of the day. There’s been no school buses to carefully navigate your way past in the mornings and in the afternoons – no kids to keep an eye out for as you drive your way past local schools. But from Monday that all changes – and therefore we must adjust the way we operate too. Younger people are renowned for doing the unexpected so, when we are out on the roads, we must be extra alert around those key school start and end times as you never know who might run out in front of you, unexpectedly.

Generally, as a whole, the Ashburton District is pretty good at keeping things low-key when it comes to driving around town but we do have somewhat of a bad reputation on our rural roads – particularly for the way we approach school buses when they are dropping off, or picking up, students. Let’s not start the year with a negative situation. Let’s be road smart and cautious when driving our way around the district. It’s a small mindset change to make in the bigger scheme of things but it could help us avoid having to deal with a disastrous and tragic situation too.

In 1993, Vaclav Havel was elected president of the newly formed Czech Republic. In 2003, Secretary of State Colin Powell, citing Iraq’s lack of cooperation with UN inspectors, said he’d lost faith in the inspectors’ ability to conduct a definitive search for banned weapons programmes. In 2005, A US marine helicopter crashed in western Iraq, killing 30 marines and a navy medic aboard. A man parked his SUV on railroad tracks in Glendale, California, setting off a crash of two commuter trains that killed 11 people. Ten years ago: Nadya Suleman gave birth at Kaiser Permanente

Bellflower Medical Center in California to six boys and two girls, the world’s longestsurviving set of octuplets. Five years ago: A brain-dead, pregnant Texas woman’s body was removed from life support as the hospital keeping Marlise Munoz on machines against her family’s wishes acceded to a judge’s ruling that it was misapplying state law. One year ago: President Donald Trump told an annual gathering of political and business elites in Switzerland that economic growth in the US under his America first agenda could benefit the globe. A fire raced through a small South Korean

hospital with no sprinkler system, killing 37 people. Today’s birthdays: Cartoonist Jules Feiffer is 90. Actor Scott Glenn is 80. Singer Jean Knight is 76. Actor Richard Portnow is 72. Rock musician Corky Laing (Mountain) is 71. Actor David Strathairn is 70. Producerdirector Mimi Leder is 67. Alt-country singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams is 66.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Saturday, January 26, the 26th day of 2019. There are 339 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On January 26, 1998, President Bill Clinton forcefully denied having an affair with a former White House intern, telling reporters, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.” On this date: In 1784, in a letter to his daughter Sarah, Benjamin Franklin expressed unhappiness over the choice of the bald eagle as the symbol of America, and stated his own preference: the turkey. In 1788, the first European settlers in Australia, led by Capt Arthur Phillip, landed in present-day Sydney. In 1844, Faced with demands for revenge after 22 settlers were killed in the Wairau Valley in June 1843, New Zealand Governor Robert FitzRoy decided that Ngāti Toa tribe had been provoked by the unreasonable actions of the Europeans. In 1939, principal photography began for David O. Selznick’s movie version of Gone with the Wind. In 1942, the first American Expeditionary Force to head to Europe during World War Two arrived in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In 1962, the United States launched Ranger 3 to land scientific instruments on the moon — the probe ended up missing its target by more than 22,000 miles. In 1984, A record one-day total of up to 84.8mm of rain caused extensive surface flooding in Invercargill, Riverton, Ōtautau, Tūātapere and Bluff in Southland, New Zealand. The floodwaters left around 1200 homes uninhabitable. In 1988, Australians celebrated the 200th anniversary of their country as a grand parade of tall ships re-enacted the voyage of the first European settlers.

Getting 2019 off to a good start T

wo weekends ago I was sitting between a stripper and an escort behind the Waiau Pub. That sentence is true for real and my wife was okay with it, so you can read into that what you want. The stripper’s name was Barbie and the escort’s name was Twig. Now Barbie, unfortunately, needed a shave and I wasn’t sure about Twig, the escort, because she rode in on a trike with a V6 Commodore motor, wearing a black German World War Two helmet – ironically her boyfriend was German! So as I sat there, I asked myself, how did I end up like this? I mean, the day before I was packing up our tents at Okains Bay and getting the family ready to come home from a lovely time at a typical New Zealand camp ground, by a typical New Zealand beach. Okains Bay has changed a lot in the time we have been going there, but it still has that chilledout, camp wherever you can find a spot, feel to it. Nine years ago we spent our last morning there after an epic family camp, by eating pancakes on the beach. We have a great photo that recorded the breakfast, our kids thought they were kings and queens, sitting there on the beach at the fold-up table I had

Peter Livingstone OUT OF SCHOOL

brought down, maple syrup running down their chins and over their fingers, wolfing down instant mix pancakes. The best thing you can spend on your kids is your time. Even as I write this, my youngest is making her and me a surprise picnic lunch. We are going on the bike down to Lake Hood for lunch. There is no amount of money, presents or anything else that can replace the feeling we have of just doing something together. The other bonus is, it doesn’t have to cost much, in fact often it costs nothing. I’m not sure what my lunch will be like, but that doesn’t matter. The fact that she is going to scrounge around in the pantry and put together what she thinks is needed for a picnic is an act I will treasure. At this time of limbo when most adults are back at work and children are mooching around waiting for school to start, there are more than

enough activities around that can be done together. You need to make the time. Even if you spend 20 minutes in the morning making each other’s lunch for the day. Imagine being at work, taking out your lunch knowing your child put it together just for you. When you do this, chat about anything and try to invite their opinion, their perspective on the subject. You may be surprised at the thinking your child does and offers. So anyway, do you want to know how I ended up between a stripper and an escort behind a pub? I was at a motorcycle rally. It’s organised every year in Waiau and recently it has been donating the attendance fee towards supporting the little town of Waiau get back on its feet after the 2016 Kaikoura quake. Barbie is a bloke, that’s why he needed a shave. I can’t remember his actual name but his nickname is Barbie. His casual job title is stripper, but officially he is a timber filleter at a mill near Kaiapoi. Twig is an escort for the youth justice system in Rolleston. She travels around New Zealand escorting youth offenders back to the facility at Rolleston. I had great talks with Twig about nature verses nurture when it comes to our young of

New Zealand and their behaviour. I also had an enlightening conversation with a lady who was an eternal student. She had been completing post-graduate studies in social anthropology, specialising in cave writing and drawing around the world. They are great people and like everyone else at the rally, were there to chill out, tell big stories and admire the bikes. We talked about our careers, our hopes for our families and this country and always about the bikes. You may have been passed by bikers and thought of them as nutters with a death wish, but I can assure you, they are some of the most astute, well-rounded people I have met. I have often been pleasantly surprised by the insights they bring to conversations. So there ya go, I began my year with time spent meeting a stripper and an escort, as well as camping with my family. I couldn’t think of a better way to start.

I and my family took a day trip yesterday to your beautiful town of Ashburton where I’d been born and we were most impressed at what a progressive and beautiful town it certainly is. The gorgeous domain with children’s playground, the amazing and interesting museum and the sports centre which is the best I’ve seen. However, on entering the town from the north end we were shocked at the demolition of the railway station and the subsequent untidy and empty section beside, and what really amazed us, was that such an eyesore greets visitors before they’ve even entered the town. Surely the council or the beau-

tifying society can improve this hideous sight right across from the domain at that. What is the plan for its future? M.H. Guan

Overseer and Environment Canterbury Jeremy Talbot (23 January) is incorrect in virtually everything he claims in his letter to the editor. Overseer is the best tool of its type available. We’re pleased it’s being improved all the time with Government support. Last year’s report from the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment was generally positive, noting some possible improvements to the model.

The soon to become operative Nutrient Management and Waitaki Plan Change (Plan Change 5 to the Canterbury Land & Water Regional Plan – LWRP) eliminates reliance on a fixed Overseer estimate, replacing it with a threshold based on irrigated area or use of winter grazing stock. Some implementation challenges have been identified and are now being addressed. I am confident that this work will result in fairness and equity for farmers without compromising environmental bottom lines. The focus on Good Management Practice by farmers and tougher rules in at-risk areas is already showing water quality improvements throughout the region. Mr Talbot is wrong to attribute blame to two individuals for perceived shortcomings of process

or regulatory approach. Like all Resource Management Act plans, the LWRP and sub-region plans are rigorously tested by independent commissioners hearing public submissions, followed by any appeals. Each of the Canterbury plans has come through this process well, giving us confidence in implementing them. Finally, councillor Peter Skelton, whose service to council and the community has been exemplary, was an Environment Court judge rather than a High Court judge. I thank him for the extraordinary work he has done to advance the Canterbury regional planning framework, which is now second to none in the country. Steve Lowndes chairman, Environment Canterbury

commercial heart is Ashburtonâ€™s suburban star, and its main retail strip is a place where you can buy anything and everything on your shopping list without moving your car. It might be a place that welcomes new businesses from time to time, but itâ€™s also a shopping centre where a solid customer base has

meant business come and they stay. And as well as its well used commercial centre, Tinwald is also home to a large range of businesses from contractors and a garden related business to vehicle sales businesses and a tavern and motels. Some of Tinwaldâ€™s special

character may be based on its past, a time when it was a selfsufficient, stand alone township rather than part of greater Ashburton. The business of the town was run by a board, but like many smaller towns and villages, it did not generate enough revenue to maintain the water supplies, roads, footpaths and sewer systems its residents demanded. And that meant the prospect of becoming a suburb of Ashburton

became an increasingly attractive option. The change from township to suburb took place in the mid 1950s. Amalgamating with Ashburton did not mean Tinwald lost its special character, however, It had developed its personality over more than 100 years, since the first modest homes were built in the late 1870s. Becoming part of Ashburton simply enhanced what was already there.

Tinwald’s great attractions Tinwald Domain

The club always welcomes new members and encourages members and visitors to enjoy a beverage in the clubhouse after their round.

The Tinwald Domain is an iconic green space on the edge of the township. With four hectares of open space there is plenty of room to run around, or find a quiet spot under a tree to relax. The children’s playground will keep the kids entertained and if you are feeling athletic the domain is host to three tennis courts which are open for public use.

Lake Hood

Tinwald Swimming Pool A visit to the Tinwald Swimming Pool is one of the Ashburton District’s summer pleasures. Generations of youngsters have learned their basic swimming skills in its waters and over the years it has changed from a large, dirty bottom pond to today’s pool that is the equal of any outdoor pool around the country. The Tinwald pool is well used and is one of the district’s most popular hot day spots. It is open every weekend 12 noon - 7pm, and week days from January 30 until March 3, from 4pm - 7pm.

Plains Vintage Railway and Historical Museum

Nestled just off the road near the Tinwald Domain The Plains Vintage Railway & Historical Museum is home to a wide range of exhibits, spanning the history of Mid Canterbury since European Colonisation. The core exhibits are split into three main sections, The Vintage Railway - featuring three operational steam locomotives and the New Zealand Rail Speed Record holding Vulcan Railcar, The Pioneer Village - with the old Waterton Anglican Church taking pride of place alongside the former Chertsey Railway Station, and the vast Rural History section - complete with vintage tractors, traction engines and other farm machinery.

Alongside the railway The Plains also operates vintage and historic farm machinery to grow crops on the agricultural land owned by the museum. This machinery includes traction engines, harvesters, ploughs and even an old-style threshing machine.

Vintage Car Club Just down the road from the Tinwald Domain the Ashburton branch of the Vintage Car Club of New Zealand has its clubrooms, museum and parts shed. With a membership base of around 250, the car club has an impressive array of vehicles on display. The museum first open its doors in 1979 and usually plays

home to around 30 vehicles which are available for viewing by prior arrangement. The club holds club nights every month and also run a number of fun rallies for members to showcase their pride and joys to the wider district.

Tinwald Golf Course Situated right on the divide between rural living and town life the Tinwald Golf Course offers some of the best play in the district. An 18-hole course, the ground is predominantly flat and easy walking with tree-lined fairways and a number of waterways littered through the course providing challenges for all levels of player.

Lake Hood is a man-made recreational lake, located 6 km southeast of Tinwald in the locality of Huntingdon, Canterbury, New Zealand. It was opened in 2001 by the Right Honourable Jenny Shipley. It is 2.3 km long by 1 km wide and is more than 80 hectares (0.80km2) in area. It features an eight-lane rowing course and separate water-skiing and jet skiing areas, and is home to Water Ski Lake Hood. It is increasing in popularity for rowing, as it is not as susceptible to wind as the main South Island rowing venue, Lake Ruataniwha. A substantial housing subdivision, serving as a satellite suburb of Ashburton has been built surrounding the lake which continues to prove to be popular with buyers and builders. The renowned Lake House restaurant and bar is a must visit when out checking out the sights.

Terrace View Retirement Village

Retirement village.

Independent living: Open lounge and kitchen.

PHOTOS SUPPLIED

Terrace View Retirement Village is more than a retirement home, it’s a complete lifestyle community. It offers residents affordable luxury living with the benefits of experienced and skilled staff and the comforts of home. Terrace View on Carters Terrace in Tinwald takes the title as Ashburton’s first purpose-built retirement village. It is set on five acres of land among peaceful, landscaped grounds and gardens, bordered on one side by the Ashburton River. The village has a variety of lifestyle and care options, including independent or assisted living in villas, apartments or studios, right through to full resthome, hospital or palliative care.

Assisted living: Bedroom.

They have studios, or one and two bedroom apartments along with three bedroom villa options which come with either a garage or parking space. There is also a communal lounge/theatre space, dining room, laundry facilities and a café / bar facility. All the rooms on site are modern, warm and spacious. Whether it be Terrace View’s quality meals and onsite services, or getting one’s health care needs met, Terrace View’s staff are second to none, and offer residents’ quality care right at their door. It’s just one more on-site option that gives residents – and their family members – peace of mind. Depending on the lifestyle option chosen, residents of the villas can keep their independent living in a secure property offering full kitchen facilities, living rooms and bedrooms for family visitors. Each villa has been professionally designed and the neutral décor is just ready and waiting for occupation. The apartment options offer the same security and freedom but in a smaller sized property. The apartments have also been designed to meet residents’ needs and care packages can be upgraded if those needs change. The studios also offer the same secure independence with a range

of service packages including 11 care suites providing a higher level of care. The Terrace View resthome and hospital has professional staff working in a modern and purpose-built facility. The large rooms come complete with ensuite and views of the grounds and gardens. The range of lifestyle options at Terrace View mean couples can remain close to each other in retirement if they have different health care needs. It’s just another bonus that gives some comfort for all concerned. As if the site and its facilities were not enough to prompt a call to Terrace View, the retirement village has another drawcard: at Terrace View, residency means no lawn mowing, maintenance or upkeep of the grounds or the property. That means more time to spend on other interests. The communal areas are a great way to keep in contact with other people and offer a facility for regular social activities. The lounge/ theatre area, with bar facilities, is also a great place to relax with others while catching up on local news, gathering for national, or sporting, events around the large communal television or to just sit and admire the fabulous garden setting and listen to the birds.

For a start, the Basel rules were developed against the “perceived capital needs of a group of large, internationally active banks”. The calibration of the Basel framework “implicitly assumes a degree of portfolio and geographic diversification that is unlikely to be present in banks with narrower business model focuses, such as those operating in New Zealand,” the explanatory note says. “All else being equal, this means that the capital requirements determined by applying the Basel ... framework to less diversified institutions will deliver a lower level of solvency than the notional 99.9 per cent chosen by the Basel committee.” Secondly, the RBNZ did not regard the 2008 global financial crisis as a particularly serious event for

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has added a little over a month for submissions on its proposals to require the country’s largest banks to carry substantially more capital on their balance sheets to reduce the risk of bank failures in a financial crisis. Submissions were initially due by March 29 but submitters now have until May 3 to prepare their responses to proposals that one international bank has warned could add as much as 1.25 percentage points to mortgage lending rates and slow the economy unnecessarily as a result. Swiss-based UBS said the RBNZ’s proposals would be the most stringent among developed economies while Fitch Ratings described them as “radical”. The extension of time was a response to feedback from submitters that they needed more time to take their own advice and undertake modelling to understand the likely impact of the proposals, a central bank spokeswoman said. Released with the announcement of the extension were internal papers produced at the RBNZ since 2016, when it began assessing the capital adequacy of New Zealand’s most powerful banking institutions, all four of which are Australian-owned. A note published with yesterday’s date explains why the RBNZ does not believe the global rules developed by the Bank of International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, are an appropriate basis

the New Zealand banking system, despite its impact in other countries. “The Reserve Bank’s view is that the 2008-2009 recession in New Zealand is not, on its own, a sufficiently severe event” for calculating capital adequacy in the event of a banking crisis. It reached instead to the 1988-91 period, when the Bank of New Zealand was twice bailed out by the government, for guidance. At times during that period, some banks were reporting more than 20 per cent of their total lending portfolios were impaired assets. “Data on credit losses during the early 1990s would provide a more reliable basis for estimation of the inputs needed for the Basel model than the GFC period,” the note says. The RBNZ expects to make decisions in the third quarter of this year and allow banks five years to make the transition to higher capital ratios. “While we’ve published our proposed views in the consultation document, these are not final, and we want to ensure all interested parties have time to adequately consider the proposals and provide feedback,” deputy governor and general manager of financial stability, Geoff Bascand, said in a statement. The proposals are intended to “make bank failures less likely and ensure that bank shareholders have a meaningful stake in their bank, so that they absorb a greater share of losses if their bank fails”. – NZME

Consultation on controversial new capital rules extended

“There are whole categories of conduct that are harmless if a firm has no market power, but harmful if the firm has market power. “This means that the current test in section 36 produces the wrong answer in these types of cases and fails to condemn all anti-competitive conduct,” the ministry says in the 73-page discussion paper it issued yesterday. Constructing such hypotheticals is also difficult and can require assumptions that are sometimes “quite unrealistic”. “It is impossible to know beforehand which assumptions a court will choose in constructing the hypothetical market. This leads to costly, complex enforcement that reduces the incentive for businesses to comply with the law.” The ministry is also recommending changes to the intellectual property provisions of the Commerce Act, and restrictions on the anti-competitive use of covenants. It estimates the cost of the changes at about $2.7 million but says there should be cost savings for the Commerce Commission from simpler enforcement. New entrants should also find it easier to enter markets and develop new businesses and the broader economy may benefit from improved competition, the ministry says. – NZME

Kris Faafoi

The Government is considering adapting Australian competition law to improve local legislation barring anti-competitive conduct. Officials have proposed amending section 36 of the Commerce Act – which bars firms with substantial market power from acting anti-competitively – because interpretation by the courts has made it too costly and complex to be effective. They favour adapting law that Australia adopted in 2017, which puts more focus on activities that lessen competition, or are likely to lessen competition, rather than how much market power a firm has and whether it is acting deliberately to shut down competition. They observe that since Australia’s change, New Zealand is now the only country in the world that still requires a strict causal connection between a firm’s market power and the conduct in question. “New Zealand has a high proportion of mar-

kets that are dominated by powerful firms, so it’s important we have effective laws that prevent them from misusing their power,” Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister Kris Faafoi says. “As currently drafted, section 36 has tilted the playing field in favour of powerful firms and distorted competition,” he said in announcing a two-month consultation on the proposed changes. “The law is difficult to enforce, and is not currently capturing a wide enough range of anti-competitive conduct.” The issue is not a new one. The Commerce Commission has long complained of the difficulty in enforcing the law, introduced in 1986. In 2010, then-Attorney-General Chris Finlayson tried to get the courts to change their approach during a case involving Telecom. The Productivity Commission recommended change in 2014 and, the following year, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment canvassed views for change in an issues paper. The ministry says the main problem is the interpretation of the act by the Privy Council and the Supreme Court. That requires courts considering such cases to test potentially anti-competitive behaviour against the way a firm may act in a hypothetical market in which they didn’t have market power.

Why you should join a club Make new friends

Joining a club is a great way to make new friends and if you’ve joined the same club you already have something of interest in common. It’s also great for young children to meet friends outside of their usual school and peer groups which makes the transition to high schools easier when they see familiar faces.

Exercise and motivation

While there are many sports club available to help you exercise physically there’s also clubs that suit every person - from arts to animals and other special interests - all of which will exercise your creativity and mind in a social environment.

Self-confidence and leadership

Many clubs have leadership opportunities including holding a specific role. This is a great opportunity for everyone to gain experience in low level governance and also gives younger children the chance to gain self-confidence and step out of their comfort zone.

Learning something new

There will always be opportunities to learn something new within a club from the other members as well as to move up grades and up-skill in sporting clubs.

You’ll have fun

Getting together with a group of people who share the same interests as you to do is invigorating, a lot of fun and many people find it the highlight of their week!

Country clash a highlight BY MATT MARKHAM

MATT.M@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A country clash at the picturesque Lauriston Cricket Club is the highlight of round two of Mid Canterbury Cricket’s Muirhead Rosebowl this weekend when Lauriston and Coldstream lock horns. Coming off different results in last weekend’s first round of 2019 the match could set the tone for the remainder of the season and declare who is the most likely side to push an ominous looking Tech Stags side for one of the most prestigious slices of silverware in Mid Canterbury sport.

The Stags will be odds on favourites to head up the road to Methven today and grab victory, but the match 10 minutes up the road from there is a little harder to assess. Bookmakers, were they setting odds for the match, wouldn’t be able to split the two sides, with $1.87 a fair quote for both teams going into the match. Coldstream will be smarting after they were well handled by a rampant Tech Stags side last weekend on their home turf, so they’re going to arrive in Lauriston ready to do business and get

things back on track. Their opponents, however, will be on the other side of the coin after a strong victory over Methven last weekend with their senior members again standing up and getting the job done to help guide them to victory. Lauriston will be looking for some strong individual performances from their usual suspects once again, headed by the lynchpin of the side in Bevan Richan with the young, rising talent of Alex Hooper sure to be a big influence on the outcome of the match.

Coldstream will most likely require their attention to be pointed towards Richard and Jono Print who helped salvage a half-decent score against Tech last week when the remainder of the team failed. Ultimately, the winner will be decided in the first innings with the likelihood of either a big score to chase or small score to defend setting the tone for how the second innings is approached. After the rollicking time out at Coldstream last week, Tech will be looking to get things going early on the artificial wicket at the Methven Domain.

Their hosts have had a hard time of it this season and haven’t shown a whole heap of promise of turning things around but have the required firepower with both bat and ball to make things work should they arrive in the right mood. The Stags are a little bit like that kid you knew at school, full of talent and more often than not they deliver the goods, but every now and then they might just lose a bit of concentration and things might slip – a problem they’ll be keen not to see unfold against Methven today.

High level tennis back on courts By Matt MarkhaM

matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

It’s been a busy week on the courts of the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre, but it’s about to get even busier over the course of the weekend with high level tennis returning to the district. Today marks the return of the interclub competition following a holiday break and on Sunday representative tennis makes an appearance when the Canterbury Country side takes on North Otago. And for Mid Canterbury tennis coach, Andre van Rooyen – the return of racquets, balls and players to the centre has been a pleasing sight. “It’s been a busy week, but it’s been great to see tennis back on,” he said. “Our tennis excellence camp this week has been hugely successful and just seeing courts full for most days of the week is really heart-warming. “And then we take another step this weekend with some more serious stuff coming back too.” The return of interclub A Grade action today will bring about some intriguing match ups. Allenton, who suffered their first defeat of the season in round two’s first match before Christmas, should be able to get back on track when they take on Southern who haven’t won a match since they beat Fairton in the first round of the season. Hampstead and Tinwald, who both recorded wins in the match before the

Christmas break, will take on each other with the winner set to gain a serious advantage for the remainder of the season while Fairton, who upset Allenton, will take on Methven in a tough-to-pick clash. A Grade Reserve action will see Allenton Kakapos taking on Southern/Wakanui and the Methven Diamonds clashing with Hampstead while Allenton Wekas get the longer break with a bye. On Sunday, 10 courts will be full with action as Canterbury Country and North Otago do battle. “There will be a number of local players taking part with the majority of the Canterbury Country side from here as well as players from Malvern, North Canterbury and Ellesmere. “It’s a bit of a senior fixture, but the quality of tennis will be great.”

In brief Player retention woes Keeping players from the rising financial power of the north is the most challenging it’s ever been, says New Zealand Rugby boss Steve Tew. In an interview, Tew opened up on the increasingly “inevitable” prospect of All Blacks heading north and the concerning depletion of home-grown depth. “There’s no doubt the player market is as hot as it’s ever been,” said Tew. “The money coming out of Japan and France in particular is a bit concerning but there’s no breaking news in that, is there? I think the money has increased in both those markets at least and there are some signs that it might heat up a bit in the UK too.” - NZME

■ FUTSAL

Calling all keen juniors By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Futsal will return to the courts of the EA Networks Centre next week and the organisers are encouraging the next generation of enthusiasts to get down and give it a go. Mid Canterbury United Football Club is hosting a junior have-a-go-day at the centre on February 3. Starting at 4pm, the day is an

introduction before the junior league commences on February 10. People can put their own teams of five together, or individuals can be registered and they will be put into teams. Organiser Roger Dakers says player numbers have plateaued in recent times, with only enough players to support a senior competition last year. “We found a schools’ compe-

tition in term one last year was really successful, but the general message was that people would only take part in term one so hopefully we can get it going again this year,” he said. The centre’s stadium has undergone developments to add drop-down curtains to allow all courts to be sectioned off, a welcome development Dakers said. “Everybody is really looking forward to having them. It will

hopefully stop so much distraction from balls from other games coming on to the courts and I know sports like us and netball are going to find them really beneficial,” he said. The senior league begins on February 3 and run for 11 weeks. Futsal has been played at the centre since 2015, with the stadium hosting a game between the Futsal Whites and a South American All-Star side in 2016.

Gatland: No interest in All Blacks coach role Warren Gatland has joined Joe Schmidt as Kiwis abroad who will not take the reins of the All Blacks when Steve Hansen steps away as head coach. Gatland and Schmidt will step away from their roles with Wales and Ireland respectively after this year’s World Cup in Japan, with their next move yet to be decided. With Hansen leaving his post with the All Blacks after the World Cup as well, Gatland and Schmidt had been among those tipped to take over the New Zealand squad. However, speaking to the 1014, Gatland denied interest in taking the reins. “I’ve seen the speculation like everyone else,” Gatland said. “To be honest with you, I’m finishing

important for me: to come back and to get involved in some level of New Zealand rugby, not at All Black level, but ideally if there was an opportunity at Super Rugby, to spend my time there and reintegrate into New Zealand Rugby and then if you’re successful other opportunities might come along in the future.” Gatland’s decision adds to the rising number of top coaches who have all but ruled themselves out of contention for the role as Hansen’s successor. Gatland indicated he planned to take some time away from the game before getting involved with a new team after spending more than a decade leading the Welsh side. Schmidt had a similar ideal,

and hoped to take at least a year away from coaching. Since Gatland took the helm with the Welsh squad, they have won 60 matches and lost 47, with two draws. In his first year in charge, Gatland’s side won the triple Crown, toppling England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in the Six Nations. He said he wasn’t overly worried about the fact he didn’t have a job lined up for when his time with Wales ended. “I might be coming back here, just taking some time off, reflecting a little bit and then looking for a job somewhere else. “I’m a great believer in what will be will be and something will come along I’m pretty sure.” - NZME

Russell Westbrook scored 23 points and recorded his second consecutive triple-double as the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 122-116 in the NBA. Westbrook added 17 rebounds and 16 assists, sealing his league-leading 15th tripledouble of the season less than two minutes into the second half. The Thunder are now 6-0 all-time when Westbrook has at least 15 points, rebounds and assists. Steven Adams added 20 points and 13 rebounds as the Thunder out-rebounded New Orleans by 16. The Golden State Warriors beat the Washington Wizards 126-118 for their ninth straight win. - NZME

BBL cap boost? Cricket Australia will consider again boosting the salary cap of the Big Bash League with CEO Kevin Roberts admitting the standard has slipped in the expanded eighth edition. Once the jewel in CA’s crown, the BBL has suffered from a lack of close matches and significantly lower crowds after launching an extended schedule this season. The league’s cap has jumped from $1.6 million to $1.77 million with its schedule expanding from 43 to 59 games, ensuring it’s longer than the Indian Premier League. Roberts said they may tinker again with the cap to ensure the BBL stands out in the competitive T20 scene. - AAP

Call to suspend VAR The A-League should immediately suspend the video assistant referee (VAR) system because of continued bungles, Central Coast coach Mike Mulvey says. Mulvey says the VAR is still causing confusion among coaches, players and fans. “For the A-League to have a sustainable product for the future, they need to have a real good look at this right now,” Mulvey told reporters. - AAP

Crunch time for 7s While Tim Walsh would love to see his Australian men’s sevens team win the close games more often, the coach would rather they avoid that scenario altogether in New Zealand this weekend. Australia have played 11 matches in the current world series, five of which have been decided on the last play. They have only won two of those, with the three gut-wrenching losses the reason they sit sixth after two rounds. “You won’t win them all but you need to put yourself in a position where that can’t happen as often,” Walsh said. - AAP

Combatting Kohli

India’s Virat Kohli. In three days, the Black Caps will no longer have to worry about Virat Kohli. But in those 72 hours, they are well aware of the danger that awaits them. Kohli’s tour of New Zealand will be cut short after the third ODI on Monday, with the Indian star rested for the final two ODIs and three Twenty20s to ensure he’s fresh for an upcoming series with Australia, and the World Cup. However, the man with the best batting average in ODI history is still a major target in today’s match for the Black Caps, who know he’s capable of producing series-winning contributions before he bids adieu. Kohli made 45 in India’s

eight-wicket victory in Napier on Wednesday, with Lockie Ferguson the man to claim his wicket, albeit in a lost cause. As part of his figures of 1-41 from eight overs, Ferguson snared Kohli in his second spell, luring him into a hook shot and getting a thin edge through to the wicketkeeper. However, the in-form seamer was left ruing the fact that there weren’t more runs on the board after the Black Caps were dismissed for 157. “[It was] the second time I’ve bowled to him so definitely a challenge – one that I was really keen to get amongst, and I had some plans for him, to try and change up the angles. It didn’t quite come

to fruition early on, and he’s a good player, he played well, and with a score like that he could take his time a little bit more.” It says all you need to know about Kohli’s class that dismissing him for 45 felt like a success for the Black Caps, and Ferguson revealed he’s trying not to clutter his plan of attack in the quest for Kohli’s wicket. “My plans might be different for Virat than perhaps some of the Sri Lankans, but the mindset doesn’t change, I’m still bowling aggressive, and I think the other bowlers will say the same thing. “Sometimes you can overscout and overanalyse and start looking at all the things he does well,

and you forget what things you do well. I’m building my scouting plan around what I do well, and try to create plans which can create hesitation or a mistake from him – and in international cricket that little fine line can get you the wickets. “I definitely build my plans around that, but mostly around what I’m trying to achieve – use my pace and bounce, and if I can create a mistake then that can get us the wickets. Sometimes that’s all you need to do in international cricket to get that little edge.” In the end, it was a little edge that ended Kohli’s time at the crease, after he had earlier taken to Ferguson in his opening spell,

smiting back-to-back boundaries – pulling over midwicket, and carving behind point. Ferguson knows that’s always a possibility when bowling with pace and aggression. “That’s the nature of bowling quick sometimes – batters will take you on with the extra pace, so the process when you bowl to these experienced players like that is to use the change of pace, try to catch them off guard a little bit and create a bit of hesitation – sometimes that gets a mistake and I was fortunate to get it. “I know next game we’ll come out better with a few more runs, and put him under some more pressure, for sure.” - NZME

■ CRICKET

White Ferns demolished by India in first one-dayer It turns out the Black Caps aren’t the only New Zealand international side unable to perform at McLean Park. The White Ferns followed in the footsteps of their male counterparts in Napier on Thursday, being totally outplayed in a nine-wicket thumping by India in the first of three one-dayers. After a week in which the White Ferns rightfully pushed for greater parity with men’s cricket off the field, India made sure to dish out equal treatment on the field, in a contest with plenty of similarities to the one held a day before it. New Zealand couldn’t set a competitive score, being tied down and failing to produce enough significant partnerships in their total of 192. Slow bowlers had their fun, taking eight wickets, and af-

ter Kuldeep Yadav took four Black Caps wickets, this time it was another Yadav – Poonam – who dismantled the White Ferns’ top order, with three key scalps. It all seemed a little familiar, and sure enough, much like on Wednesday, India had no problems chasing down the meagre total, with Smriti Mandhana (105) and Jemimah Rodrigues (81 not out) seeing them home with 17 overs to spare. It wasn’t a complete disaster for the White Ferns, who did show a bit of fight with the bat. Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates added 61 for the first wicket, and at 119-3 with 20 overs to go, they could have reached a defendable tally. However, nobody could pass 36, and all of India’s specialist bowlers were economical as well, keeping

the lid on potentially dangerous hitters, with Amelia Kerr (28 off 60 balls) being particularly tied down by the spinners. They also claimed wickets at regular intervals, with New Zealand’s innings cut short with eight balls remaining, at 192. Hope lingered for the hosts over whether the conditions could lead to India struggling to accumulate as well, but the rising stars of Rodrigues, just 18 years old, and Mandhana, 22, rapidly dispatched that notion, reaching 75-0 within 12 overs. The New Zealand bowlers had no answers, and in a rare difference from Wednesday, there was no sunstrike to prolong their suffering. The match ended on a wide, a fitting finale as the White Ferns capped off one of their heavier defeats in recent times. - NZME

Karaka 2019 starts tomorrow The cream of New Zealand’s thoroughbred yearling crop will go under the hammer at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sales at Karaka this week, with the Book 1 sale to commence at 3pm on Sunday. With 1284 yearlings catalogued, a strong mix of both local and international buyers have been at the complex in recent days inspecting horses. “The support we have had this year from major breeders in New Zealand has been exceptional – the best I can remember in a very long time,” New Zealand Bloodstock’s managing director Andrew Seabrook said. “With fewer horses going to Australian yearling sales to be sold, there has definitely been an increase in the strength of the catalogues.” The lucrative Karaka Million twilight race meeting at Ellerslie on Saturday ensures a vibrant start to the week, with two $1 million races for New Zealand Bloodstock graduates, while five of the six races on the card are stakes races. Although last year’s sale was the highest by aggregate in a decade, vendor expectations remain cautious for this year’s edition. Graduates of the New Zealand Bloodstock Yearling Sale enjoyed another strong year on the race-

were sold for $60,000 and $36,000 respectively. Leading buyer David Ellis of Te Akau Racing is bullish about forthcoming changes in the New Zealand racing industry and has been impressed by the stock cat-

alogued. “I don’t think it’s any secret that from August 1 our stakes money in New Zealand will dramatically improve, so now is a really good time to invest,” Ellis said. “I expect this sale to be a buyers’ market. The quality is as good as I’ve seen in 20 years. And don’t forget, we’re just a three-hour flight to Sydney and Melbourne and they are racing for $7, $10 and $15 million and we’re buying horses to win those races too.” The Chittick family’s Waikato Stud has been the leading vendor by aggregate for the past five years and stock of their champion sire Savabeel will again appeal to a broad range of buyers, underpinning the sale. Stud principal Mark Chittick was also keen to point out that the economics of buying yearlings in New Zealand stacked up well given prizemoney in Australia has reached record levels. “You can buy a really good horse for $120,000 at Karaka. In just over a year’s time when they’re racing, they can be running for more than $120,000 every Saturday in Sydney and Melbourne,” Chittick said. “To me that makes sense and I think it is good business to buy these horses that are reared in probably the best environment in the world.” – NZ Racing Desk

■ TENNIS

Rafa ramps up the aggro A hyped up Rafael Nadal credits an improved serve with his rampage to the Australian Open final. The world No.2 hasn’t dropped a set en route to the final – and much of that is down to the Spaniard’s super serve. The 2009 Australian Open champion hasn’t been broken since his opening-round clash with wildcard Australian James Duckworth, five matches ago. Fellow Australians Matt Ebden, Alex de Minaur, former Wimbledon finalist Thomas Berdych and next-gen hopefuls Frances Tiafoe and Stefanos Tsitsipas all failed to crack the claycourter. In Thursday night’s brutal 6-2 6-4 6-0 dispatch of Tsitsipas, Nadal was particularly dominant, failing to give up a break point until the match’s final game. The 32-year-old said it was pivotal to ramping up his attack on the young Greek. “I can do that damage little bit earlier than before because during this event I have been serving great,” he said. “When you serve great, then the first ball normally is a little bit easier.” Nadal contrasted his play with that of his great rival Roger Federer, who has traditionally edged the Spaniard when it comes to serving. “I can’t play like Roger when I don’t have the serve of Roger. You know, Roger (gets) a lot of free points, have lot of times that he starts with the serve, then he have a not-very-difficult forehand,” he said. “Was not my case during all my career because I never had that serve. “I am not doing serve and volley. I am not hitting winners

Rafael Nadal is through to the Australian Open final after an emphatic win over Stefanos Tsitsipas. every ball. But I play all the shots with a goal. “There is not better way to be aggressive than hit every shot with the goal to create damage on the opponent. That was my goal during all the career.” For Nadal, it’s all part of staying at the top of the game as he attempts to win his 18th major

– an astonishing 14 years since his first came at Roland Garros in 2005. “I have to adapt my game to the new time and to my age, that’s all. That’s what I did during all my career,” he said. “That’s the only reason why at this moment I am still here competing at high level.

“I know during that 15, 16 years, 17 years of tennis, professional tennis career, I’m going to lose things on my way, so I need to add new things.” Nadal will either renew his long-time rivalry with world No.1 Novak Djokovic or play Frenchman Lucas Pouille in Sunday night’s final. - NZME

Kvitova eyeing turnaround Twelve months on from a firstround loss at Melbourne Park that left her in the depths of despair, Petra Kvitova is within touching distance of making the venue the site of her third – and most remarkable – grand slam triumph. Victory over Japan’s Naomi Osaka in tonight’s Australian Open final would cap off an astonishing comeback for the Czech world No.6, who suffered a knife attack in late 2016 which threatened to end her career. Already the two-time Wimbledon champion has progressed further than she dared dream was possible. Doctors gave her a 10 per cent chance of again playing elite tennis after the violent home invasion which left her with a near-severed finger and nerve damage in her hand. There were also mental scars. Kvitova couldn’t even be alone in a change room when she returned to the main stage at the 2017 French Open. A first-round loss to German Andrea Petkovic at last year’s Australian Open was a self-described low point in her comeback. “I felt really terrible,” Kvitova said. “Of course losing in Wimbledon was hurting a lot, as well, at the time. I think those two losses were really tough for me. Was especially in the grand slams, of course. “How I felt wasn’t really nice. Sometimes I’m probably too stressed and it’s not really great.” To say Kvitova has bounced back is an understatement. The left-hander is on an 11-match winning streak and is in such a good place mentally that she hasn’t worked at all with her sports psychologist this month. - AAP

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): It’s better when loved ones don’t struggle at the same time so they can hold each other up as need be. Alas, these things can’t always be helped. One solution is to widen the support to include more people. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): What you do for another person is done out of love and caring. You believe acts of friendship shouldn’t be burdened with stressful promises and obligations, and you avoid those who attach strings to their gifts. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You make a bigger impact than you realise. You’re walking down the street, minding your own business, but not everyone is doing the same. They’re noticing you and the positive feeling you bring. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): To find joy, position yourself to look inward. There’s no one you need to outshine, no one who can outshine you, just you orienting your perception so there’s no one to compete or compare yourself with. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): It won’t feel like you’re making decisions. It seems your body, conditioning and subconscious is making many moves for you. Still, every move you make, however small, gives birth to a new reality. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Whatever you do to use what you have efficiently, clean up and waste less will not be celebrated or even noticed, but it will make you feel good to know that you’re contributing to the solution, not the problem. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): In carefree times, stupid things seem important – and they are. They are until you get to the less carefree times. Being able to live in different sorts of times is a privilege that makes you wise. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The role of rituals cannot be underestimated now. Consider the ones you don’t recognise as rituals – the daily habits that have become a part of you. What do you want to keep going forward? SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’re asking questions that don’t have answers. It’s a sign of intelligence; then again, there’s a line to walk. On one side is a state of wonder, and the other is a state of confusion. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): It’s pretty simple. You wanted to get noticed, and now you’re getting noticed. Keep your cause in mind at all times. Direct the attention where it will do the most good. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Everything seems brighter when you’re around so people want you around. Sometimes you lose yourself in the interaction. It’s OK. You’ll find yourself later. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): A presentation that’s too long will lose the audience. This is true at all levels – a one-to-one conversation, a performance, a media event. It’s the same. Be aware of limited attention spans.
