Windy Boulevard Day hailed winner

Boulevard Day 2017 will go down in weather history as one that had all the ingredients of a typical Mid Canterbury spring – warm temperatures, strong nor’west winds and plenty of sunshine.

Add big crowds and plenty of bargains to the mix and the event is being hailed a huge success on all fronts.

Organisers Bob McDonald and Sue Cooper and their team of retailer volunteers were out at first light working with stall holders to ensure they were set up and ready to trade when early customers arrived and they were there at the finish helping those same stall holders pack up their business for the day.

The wind might have played a big part in making conditions a little uncomfort-

able at times for traders, but it didn’t dampen shoppers’ enthusiasm for bagging a bargain, Cooper said.

“Stall holder were really happy and we’ve already had a lot saying they’re booking again for next year because they love the way the day’s organised,” she said.

Crowds fluctuated during the day and that made it difficult to get a handle on numbers. While they ran into several thousand, Cooper believes they fell short of the 10,000 plus they’d been hoping for.

While the wind made it difficult for some stall holders, all were told when they booked a site to ensure they had their stalls securely tethered for the day. For the odd one the wind proved too much and they packed up early af-

Don’t get

ternoon. At times Cooper said she had some safety concerns during strong wind gusts, but said a close eye was kept on the situation.

‘I was out there walking the street all day checking with stall holders and we were closely monitoring what was happening.”

As stallholders progressively packed up during the afternoon, Cooper and her team were out in force on street cleaning duty. They’re committed to handing East Street back to the council in top condition, she said.

“We must be doing it well each year as we haven’t been fined.”

Adams humbled by support

Wilson pleased with party’s performance

By Colin WillisCroft

Colin.w@theguardian.Co.nz

The Opportunities Party candidate for Rangitata was not disappointed by TOP’s showing in the election and is confident it will bounce back stronger next time the country goes to the polls.

Despite TOP only picking up 2.2 per cent of the party vote, Olly Wilson thought it was a pretty good effort considering the party was only about 10 months old.

“Obviously we wanted to do better and we wanted to be in Parliament, but I think we changed the debate in some areas and some of our policies were picked up by other parties,” he said.

“So I’m quite proud of what we achieved.”

Wilson said he would be flying up to Wellington in the next couple of weeks to discuss with the

party hierarchy what happens next. While the detail of that is yet to be determined, there is one thing he is sure of.

“We were never a one-time party and that hasn’t changed,” he said. “We’ll review things, but don’t expect the message to change too much. It’s what’s already working around the world.”

As for his own involvement, Wilson said he would need to talk to his family about that over the next couple of weeks “because any candidate will tell you it takes up a huge amount of time”.

However, he was keen to remain involved with the party in some form. Election night was not the end of Olly Wilson and TOP, he said.

He also hoped TOP leader and founder Gareth Morgan would stay on with the party in his leadership role, but that would

be up to Morgan to decide.

Wilson, who said he contacted fellow Rangitata candidates Andrew Falloon and Jo Luxton on election night to offer his congratulations, was surprised how well National did in the end.

He said the close race between the top two parties during the campaign meant that come polling day, the election almost reverted to an old-style first-past-the-post affair, with many of the minor parties being squeezed out.

It did, however, leave New Zealand First leader Winston Peters in a position of power, something that Wilson said disappointed him on a personal level, given how much influence Peters could have over the country during the next three years.

He hoped that after the next election TOP would be in a similar position to add its influence to the country’s future.

Amy Adams has thanked the voters of Selwyn, saying she is incredibly humbled and proud to be their member of parliament.

Adams retained the seat for National on Saturday night, picking up 25,320 votes, a majority of 17,625 over Labour’s Tony Condon, who won 7695 votes.

It was almost as emphatic when it came to party votes, with National on 22,716, followed by Labour on 9652, 60 per cent and 25.5 per cent respectively.

“I’m delighted with the result,” Adams said, adding that because she won around two-thirds of votes cast, she had been given a strong mandate to continue, which she said was “incredibly important”.

Although pointing out in politics nothing can be taken for granted, Adams said she had an inkling during the last couple of weeks of campaigning that the electorate was behind her.

It was during that time she was out on the street, making herself as visible as possible to the public, and Adams said she received a lot of encouragement, whether it be comments from passers-by or toots from cars.

“You get a real sense of the local electorate,” she said. “It’s just about the best type of poll and the mood was strong.”

Entering her fourth term as MP for Selwyn, Adams said there were a couple of challenges that she would be working hard on for the people

Amy Adams of her electorate.

The first of those would be to continue to work very hard for Selwyn as it continued to manage increased population growth. That meant making sure it had its fair share of everything from new infrastructure, such as ultra-fast broadband, to services, including making sure there were enough police.

The other significant issue was water, she said, not only how it was used but also ensuring the environment was protected.

Windy Boulevard From P1 As Boulevard Day 2017 was packed away, planning for the next year’s event had already started.

Bookings have been taken and there’ll be a brainstorm on things that could change or be improved.

One of those will be putting the MC for the event under cover as this year from his spot on the chess board, Timaru’s OJ was counting the cost in wind damaged equipment.

= FREE!

“We value so much the stallholders and OJ coming to Boulevard Day and we want them to come back each year and know they’ll make money,” Cooper said.

This year’s event was marked by a significant increase in the number of food stalls, with the newcomers finding out about the event by word of mouth.

And word on the street was that the range of food on offer was given top marks by the crowd, she said.

Booklovers’ paradise opens for business

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Bookarama convener Bob Engelbrecht thought he’d beat the crowds when he arrived at the Ashburton Sports Hall early yesterday morning. He was wrong.

Rather than beating the bookloving crowds, Engelbrecht found he had to fight his way through collectors eager to be first to find a bargain. It was a tough job convincing the waiting crowd they’d still be waiting until official opening time – 8am, he said.

At 8.01 he turned the key, opened the door and was almost knocked down in the rush.

Ashburton Rotarians are creatures of habit when it comes to the annual book fair. Trestle tables are laid out and loaded with books in exactly the same category order year after year.

“And that suits the buyers. They come in the door and go straight to tables. Three were up in the records straight away, another lot headed to children’s books,” he said.

Others were rapid browsers,

scanning many tables, looking for bargains and hot buys.

And then there were the collectors, who were early regulars and who knew at 20 paces whether a book was worth buying or not.

One hour into the event and satisfied buyers were leaving laden down with bags of books.

For many, their opening day Bookarama attendance would be just one day in many, with some returning every day and spending several hours each day browsing the tables, Engelbrecht said.

Fran Brown was one of those who’s rarely missed the event. She was settling in for a long day.

“We leave home at 7am to be here on time and we stock up on books for the year,” she said.

Another regular was Annaliese Donehue and daughter Melody, eight.

They make the trip from Timaru each year and usually leave with stocks of children’s books that provide many hours of reading for the rest of the year, Donehue said.

Bookarama runs until midday Saturday.

Wild winds keep services busy

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Wild winds provided many hurdles for Mid Cantabrians going about their Mondays.

Powerful 130km/h gusts pulled down power lines, spread fire, toppled wheelie bins, trees and irrigators around the district and halted bus services in Rakaia and Methven.

The wind was the result of hot, humid air flowing across the Tasman Sea from Australia, and bringing dramatic weather in the form of heavy rain to western parts of

New Zealand and strong nor’west winds to the east – and sparking a severe weather warning for Canterbury.

While many Mid Cantabrians battened down the hatches, emergency services and other organisations were also working hard in the elements to resolve a number of small incidents.

Firefighters from Mount Somers, Ashburton, Methven and Mayfield rushed to tame a fire in the Surrey Hills at 7.49am.

“It started in a paddock and the wind blew the sparks down,”

Mayfield volunteer firefighter Alex Quigley said.

“A garden shed caught on fire and that caught on to a garage.”

He said firefighters had spent about four hours battling the blaze and that the buildings had been “damaged extensively”.

Canterbury Police also issued a warning to motorists, urging them to “drive to the conditions” while the wind speeds remained high.

Though there were no reported road incidents in Mid Canterbury, incidents in Selwyn and Lewis Pass sparked the warning to “all roads

users to reduce speeds and to drive with caution”.

Ashburton District Council helped clear a fallen tree off the road at the intersection between Tinwald Westerfield Mayfield Road and Lagdons Road, and EA Networks rushed to clear up power lines that came down across Arundel Rakaia Gorge Road and Pudding Hill Road.

All Methven bus services were cancelled throughout the day, and Rakaia School and Lauriston School had to do without their morning bus services. Buses were

back up and running by the afternoon. A number of farm irrigators were also seen tipping over near Mayfield and some Boulevard Day stallholders had to pack in earlier than anticipated.

MetService was predicting the winds to ease and swing to the south today, bringing a slight drop in temperature and showers in the evening.

They reported that the severe weather was moving quickly in “classic spring fashion”, and said we could expect changeable weather for the rest of the week.

We are located at 50 South Street, just down from the new Countdown.

With over 65 years of combined experience, you know your vehicle is in safe hands.

Workshop a great opportunity for musicians to upskill

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

The sound of stringed instruments were ringing through the Sinclair Centre yesterday as students upskilled alongside a celebrated Kiwi conductor, violinist and concertmaster.

Donald Armstrong met with 34 junior and senior string-players from around the district to hold a musical workshop and help them sharpen their skills.

Armstrong is the current concertmaster of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, and has experience as a musical director, soloist, conductor and player for the NZSO, NZ Chamber Orchestra, Tivoli Sinfoniorkester in Denmark and Orchestre Philharmonique de Nice in France.

The workshop was organised by string tutor Paula Green who described the visit as a “great opportunity”.

Armstrong worked with junior students in the morning and senior students later, before they put on a public performance in the evening.

He will be holding individual workshops today before returning home to Wellington.

Donald Armstrong struck a chord with the district’s string players when he visited to take a workshop yesterday.

Food so good you’ll want to cook

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

If Ange Leadley had her way, every senior would be happily cooking healthy, nutritious meals.

She’s making it her mission to encourage older people, particularly those living alone, to do just that with a seniors cooking class that starts next month.

On Monday she was at Lochlea Lifestyle Resort talking healthy eating and promoting the value of attending her classes.

To tempt residents she cooked up a tasty morning tea treat – mini quiche and smoothies.

The cooking classes are about learning new skills, gaining con-

fidence in the kitchen, but just as importantly they are social occasions too, Leadley said.

The classes run for eight weeks on a Wednesday and will cover both nutrition, basic cooking skills and creating meals for one or two people.

One course has been completed this year, and she’s hoping for a full house for the October event.

Cooking for seniors is a free course run from the Ashburton Polytechnic.

The next course starts on October 11 from 10am to 1pm and registrations can be made by contacting Leadley on 0275 711 017.

Senior chef promoter for Primary Health Organisation Pegasus, Ange Leadley, offers a healthy snack to Lochlea Lifestyle Resort resident Valmai Wilson.

OUR VIEW

So now we sit and wait Matt Markham

EDITOR

A

nd so now we sit and wait.

We wait for Winston the Kingmaker.

We wait to find out who will lead this country.

We wait to find out if we voted for the status quo, or if we voted for change. And the answers to all could be some time in arriving.

So, get comfortable, the ride is still far from over.

Perhaps though, while we have some down time from the electoral and political cyclone that has enveloped this country over the past few months, we should begin to consider the value of MMP here in New Zealand.

Obviously, it would be a little too forward to suggest, based on Saturday’s results, that MMP has left us in a rather peculiar position, but we should certainly be taking a good look at its systems and methods.

That a politician, as wily and clever as he may be, is able to dictate who shall govern the country when he couldn’t even win his own electorate seat in an election, does seem to border a little on the side of ridiculous.

Whereas, had we still had the use of the first past the post system, we would have had a winner declared and everyone would be starting to get on with things by now – instead of sitting in this national limbo of uncertainty where we are not really sure which way Winston Peters will lean.

But MMP is the system we have, and therefore we must deal with its consequences and if it’s still the best system in which to form a government then so be it – we will get there eventually.

Certain parties have played this particular system well – but one of the best exponents of it fell on their sword on Saturday night.

The Maori Party seemed to understand MMP better than most minority parties, but unfortunately their losses on the weekend have now left their future in limbo.

To see Te Ururoa Flavell in tears on Sunday after his defeat to former weatherman, Tamati Coffey, was pretty hard to watch.

But when MMP was voted in, it was voted in for a purpose and this current situation we find ourselves in is that exact purpose.

And so, we shall sit and wait.

Co-operation, not regulation, achieves seed successes F

or farmers, the election campaign of 2017 will long be remembered for the debate on the proposed water tax and its impact on farmers and rural communities.

We all live in an age where we are required to comply with a raft of national, regional and local level regulations which govern the way we live.

But what might surprise many readers is the fact that in this regulatory age, there is no act, legislation or formal regulations around the seed varietal certification scheme in New Zealand.

What we have is an all too rare example of Government, farmers and industry working together.

The result is that we comply with our international obligations for certifying seed for export to ensure cultivar identity and, for the most part, farmers, merchants and others have no issues complying with the scheme.

As farmers, we are offered contracts by merchants to grow certified seed for sale in the domestic or international market. For the crop to be considered certified it has to reach a number of specific standards and pass a number of crop inspections. This means that we need to maintain a weed-free paddock, otherwise risk the paddock not being accepted for certification.

Once the seed is harvested, it is sent for cleaning and then for testing to ensure the seed meets the purity and germina-

tion requirements, and also complies with any contractual obligations required by merchants. Provided the seed passes these tests it is ready to be sold, whether it is to the domestic or international market.

All certified seed comes with its own seed analysis certificate identifying the seed, when it was tested, the results of the purity and germination tests and any other tests the seed has undergone. This provides the end-user with confidence in the seed and where it was grown.

AsureQuality manage the day to day functions of the seed varietal certification scheme on behalf of the Seed Quality Management Authority (SQMA).

This is no mean feat considering that, for the 2016/17 season, 26,817 hectares of crop was sown for certification with the bulk of this coming from production of grass and legume (clover and pea) seed crops. A total of 4500 paddock inspections were completed by eagleeyed AsureQuality inspectors.

The bulk of the seed submitted to the seed varietal certification scheme is grown in

Past SQMA chairperson Murray Willocks Canterbury. This is even more remarkable when you consider 20 years ago arable farmers were mainly producers of wheat, barley, oats and ryegrass.

This diversity of crop production should be celebrated as should the agronomy skills of farmers out there growing these crops.

The SQMA executive meets twice a year to discuss the scheme and any issues that may have arisen. Federated Farmers has three representatives on the SQMA (myself, Jim Macartney and Methven farmer John McCaw) and are joined by representatives from AsureQuality, MPI, seed processors and seed merchants.

For the last eight years the SQMA has been chaired by Murray Willocks and at the recent AGM he stepped down and has been replaced by Brent Stirling.

Murray has steered the SQMA through some tough years as the contract with MPI and AsureQuality was renegotiated and implemented.

Federated Farmers thanks Murray for his eight years of quality work at the SQMA table; his pragmatic approach to the seed varietal certification scheme is appreciated.

The seed varietal certification scheme we have in New Zealand is world leading and should be celebrated for its continued success.

■ NORTH KOREA

Russia sounds warning Spiking nuclear tensions between the United States and North Korea showed little sign of abating yesterday as Russia warned of a “very unpredictable nosedive” if Washington does not ease up on its fiery war of words with Pyongyang.

US bombers and fighter escorts flew off the coast of North Korea on Sunday and US President Donald Trump took to Twitter with verbal threats as the brinkmanship with Pyongyang intensified.

“Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at UN. If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won’t be around much longer!”, Trump wrote.

The bellicose rhetoric comes as international alarm mounts over Pyongyang’s weapons ambitions – including a suggestion last week that the country is considering detonating an H-bomb over the Pacific.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov cautioned that a softer touch was needed to defuse the crisis.

Only “caresses, suggestion and persuasion” will work, Lavrov told Russia’s NTV television in an interview that aired yesterday.

If the US does not ease up, he said, “we could drop into a

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un very unpredictable nosedive and tens if not hundreds of thousands of innocent citizens of South Korea but also North Korea, of course, and Japan will

suffer – and Russia and China are nearby.”

Despite the heated exchanges, Lavrov said the United States would not take military

action against North Korea because “they know for sure that it has nuclear bombs.”

“I’m not defending North Korea. I’m just saying that almost everyone agrees with such an analysis,” he said.

In a show of force, US B-1 bombers took off from the Pacific territory of Guam and flew over international waters off the east coast of North Korea, accompanied by F-15C fighters based in Okinawa, Japan.

US bombers have carried out similar flights before, but the Pentagon stressed this was the furthest north of the Demilitarized Zone between the two Koreas that any US fighter or bomber has flown off North Korea’s coast in this century.

“This mission is a demonstration of US resolve and a clear message that the president has many military options to defeat any threat,” Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said. “We are prepared to use the full range of military capabilities to defend the US homeland and our allies.”

Washington announced tougher restrictions on Friday aimed at curbing North Korea’s nuclear missile program, building on tough new UN sanctions aimed at choking Pyongyang of cash.

Oprah’s big question

■ GERMANY

Bikinis, not burkas, win elections Controversial bikini ads pushing an anti-immigration agenda have been one of the tactics used by a German far-right political party, which has led to the best results for a radical right wing group in Germany since World War Two. The Alternative for Germany capitalised on increasing support after German

Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open door policy saw more than a million refugees and migrants to enter the country.

The media campaign, created by a Texas-based advertising agency, appeals to national concerns of a growing migrant population.

One of the posters shows an image of two woman dressed

in bikinis and photographed from behind with a tagline that reads “Burkas? We prefer bikinis”.

The provocative ads powered the AfD through the polls, setting the party on track to win 13.5 per cent of the votes, which will allow them to enter the German Parliament for the first time.

Oprah Winfrey was asked the exact same question by every single guest she interviewed on her hugely successful talk show. The 63-year-old revealed what was the question was during a panel at the Tribeca TV festival. “Everybody that I ever interviewed, after every interview, at some point somebody would say, ‘How was that? How’d I do?” Oprah said. “Whether it was Barack Obama or Beyonce or the guy who’d murdered his kids, the guy who had molested kids or somebody who’d ... lost their family, at the end of every interview somebody would say, ‘Was that OK?’” Oprah added that when Beyonce asked her if she’d been OK she simply told the singer, “Girl, you’re Beyonce!”

Stock market static after election

Australia's four biggest banks have bowed to years of consumer pressure and abolished the ATM withdrawal fees for customers of other banks.

The Commonwealth Bank was the first strike, making an announcement early on Sunday that it would axe the $A2 ($NZ2.15) fee that applied to any user who was not using a CommBank key card.

Westpac, the ANZ and National Australian Bank followed suit later in the day.

All four banks cited the unpopularity of the fee with consumers, who were forking out $A500 million a year for withdrawing their own cash.

"As Australia's largest bank, with one of the largest branch and ATM networks, we think this change will benefit many Austral-

ians and hopefully demonstrate our willingness to listen and act on customer feedback," CommBank Group Executive, Retail Banking Services, Matt Comyn said.

Westpac Group Executive, Consumer, George Frazis, said in a statement that it understood "the ‘foreign ATM' fee has been deeply unpopular with consumers."

NAB Chief Customer Officer of Consumer Banking and Wealth, Andrew Hagger, said the decision was about making banking fairer.

"We know it has been frustrating for them to be charged to withdraw their own money from an ATM, and the change we are announcing today will benefit millions of Australians."

Reserve Bank of Australia data shows Australians made more than 250 million ATM withdraw-

als from banks other than their own last year.

Australia's fifth largest bank, Macquarie, said it did not charge ATM fees and would refund the A$2 fee if their customer was slugged by another bank.

The fee abolition will not apply to cards from overseas banks.

The Australian Bankers Association said Sunday's announcements were another example of how banks were working to improve their services.

But the changes, while welcomed by federal politicians, did not stop calls for a banking royal commission.

"Imagine how we could get better banking for all Australians if we had a banking royal commission," Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said.

Structural log prices at 23-year high New Zealand structural log prices edged up to the highest level in more than two decades as mills compete with the export market to secure supply for the local construction market.

The price for structural S1 logs lifted to $128 a tonne this month, from $127 a tonne last month, and is sitting 11 per cent above last year’s level and 21 per cent higher than the five-year average, according to AgriHQ’s monthly survey of exporters, forest owners and saw millers. The S1 structural log price is at its highest level since April 1994.

Demand for New Zealand logs is strong in China, New Zealand’s largest log market, with in-market prices for unpruned logs at their

highest level since mid-2014 and pruned log prices just shy of their last peak in mid-2016, AgriHQ said.

It imported 2,894,326 tonne of logs in July, the highest level since April 2014, with New Zealand recording the largest lift, making up 37 per cent of imports in the month, ahead of the 35 share it typically holds, AgriHQ said.

“As far as the market is concerned, any potential downward movement in values will have to be driven by wharfgate values,” said AgriHQ analyst Reece Brick.

Some mills have paid premiums above the main contract market to secure supplies from the spot market, Brick said.

Still, Brick said further upward

movement in prices is less likely as domestic pruned log supply moved into balance over recent weeks and export interest remains short of the level experienced in early 2016.

He noted residential construction activity is slowing in Canterbury as the bulk of the earthquake rebuild reaches completion, while talk of stagnating house prices has slowed building from property investors.

“Whether this is a temporary state brought about by winter or an indication of a longer-term trend will become more obvious over the next month or two,” Brick said. Forest products are New Zealand’s third-largest commodity export.

lition is viewed as a greater likelihood than a Labour one, however, “the presence of New Zealand First in any coalition would limit any New Zealand dollar gains,” given its policies, said Speizer.

Among other things, Speizer noted New Zealand First seeks much more restrictive immigration policy than either of the major parties and wants to tighten restrictions on foreign investment, and restrict ownership of houses and farmland to New Zealand citizens and resi-

a tight range as talks get underway.

Last week the local currency largely stuck to a 72.50 US centsto-73 US cents range and “an early declaration from (New Zealand First leader) Winston Peters may stir volatility, but otherwise, we anticipate the NZD holding last week’s range, though possibly with a mild upside bias,” she said.

Investors also appeared to be taking a wait-and-see approach in the swap markets, with two-year swap rates down 2 basis points to 2.20 per cent and 10-year swap rates down 1 basis point to 3.23 per cent.

While there is no outcome, the market is leaning more to a more market-friendly outcome so “at the very margin we are lower in yield,” said Sam Twigg, a broker with OMF. He is not expecting much more reaction zand said until there is a definitive result, investors will likely remain focused offshore for direction.

Twigg also noted that the central bank has a rate review on Thursday, which should come into focus for markets. The Reserve Bank is widely expected to keep rates on hold at a record low 1.75 per cent. – APNZ

by October 12, when final election results are officially returned to the governor general.

“New Zealand and financial markets have no option but to patiently wait out the next three weeks,” said Tuffley.

Grant Williamson, director at Hamilton Hindin Greene, said the market had taken the results in its stride but continued uncertainty is causing investors to remain on the sidelines, with Peters still able to “go either way” and play the two major parties off against one another over the coming weeks.

So far this month, the local benchmark index has seen 555.6 million shares traded, compared to 801.2 million in September 2016 and 926.7 million in 2015.

During September 2014, when the last general election was held, the NZX50 saw 827.6 million shares traded.

New Zealand markets are treading water as coalition talks get underway after Saturday’s general election, although sentiment is also being weighed on by offshore events.

Preliminary results show New Zealand First party leader Winston Peters firmly in a kingmaker position as all parties fell short of the necessary 61 seats to secure a parliamentary majority.

The New Zealand dollar was trading at 72.97 US cents from 73.30 US cents at 8am yesterday in Wellington from 73.39 cents on Friday in New York. Traders say investors were likely cheered when the National Party won the most votes but any upside has been capped as National can’t form a government on its own.

At midday, the S&P/NZX50 Index was up 4.82 points or 0.06 per cent to 7,819.6. Within the index, 25 stocks had risen, 13 had fallen and 12 were unchanged. Turnover was around $25 million.

ASB Bank chief economist Nick Tuffley said coalition negotiations are unlikely to start in earnest for two weeks but that financial markets are coping with uncertainty “relatively well”. He notes the final

Alliance buys marketing company

Alliance Group chief executive David Surveyor said the purchase of Goldkiwi Asia represents an important step for the company.

PHOTO SUPPLIED

Food company Alliance has acquired the business of Goldkiwi Asia, a Singapore-based marketing and sales company, as it seeks to capture more value from its markets in Asia.

Alliance Group chief executive David Surveyor said the new business will be known as Alliance Asia.

Goldkiwi Asia is well established and has built sound customer relationships in China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia since the early 1990s.

Surveyor said the acquisition represents an important step in the company’s vision to create a stronger co-operative to benefit its 5000 farmer shareholders and staff.

The acquisition will position Alliance directly in the market and accelerate the co-operative’s

understanding and responsiveness to its Asia-based customers.

“This will ensure we are now closer than ever to our Asian customers and end-consumers with our new Asian headquarters in Singapore connecting us to some of the world’s largest populations and their growing demand for quality foods. It will also lift Alliance’s visibility and engagement across all steps of the supply chain.”

Alliance has worked closely with Goldkiwi Asia for more than 25 years and the company has played a key role in building Alliance’s presence in the region, he said.

“This is a proven relationship and a natural next step in our strategy.

“Goldkiwi Asia has supported our strategic co-operation with our important Chinese in-mar-

ket partner Grand Farm.

“This will continue as we seek to improve the returns and add value to both businesses.”

Goldkiwi Asia staff will transfer to Alliance Asia.

Paul Stephens, founder and director of Goldkiwi Asia, said: “The acquisition is at the right time for the business. We are moving up the value chain and we are driven to secure a better return.

“Consumers want to know more – not just about the food, but also its story. Alliance is 100 per cent owned by farmers, who take great care and know their craft. This resonates with consumers.”

Surveyor said Alliance Group is developing new approaches to retail and e-commerce and product development in the Asia markets over the coming year.

No election surprises – Salvesen

By Colin WillisCroft

Colin.w@theguardian.Co.nz

The lack of a clear result on election night has come as no surprise to Federated Farmers Mid Canterbury provincial president Mike Salvesen.

Despite the polls in the weeks leading up to the election being very hard to read due to the large swings in support they showed, Salvesen said the election night result was actually very close to the final polls taken.

As to what happens next, he is unsure how things will play out.

“We don’t really know exactly what the discussions are or who will work with who. What we do

know is that there will be a lot of shadow-boxing going on.”

One thing that was clear, Salvesen said, was that New Zealand First was in a position of power as to which party would form the next government and, like many farmers, he hoped he (New Zealand First leader Winstons Peters) would first talk to National Party leader Bill English.

“I’m not sure if he has a legal responsibility (to do that) but I do think he has a moral responsibility,” given National won the majority of the vote.

He questioned the power the smaller parties have under MMP when elections turn out as this

one did.

“It’s a bit like the tail-wagging the dog, which is not what people voted for,” he said.

“The downside of the system is that the small parties have a lot more power than is reflected by the number of people who voted for them.”

Salvesen was also concerned that even if National were to go into a deal with New Zealand First how stable any deal involving Peters would be.

“If there is a deal we don’t know whether it will be as a coalition or just confidence and supply, but he would be in the position of bringing down the government. His

track record is not brilliant in that area.”

In the meantime, the whole country, including farmers, will have to watch and wait.

“Everything is in limbo. The government is effectively paralysed and there’s not a thing we can do about it,” he said.

The good news was the current government will continue in a caretaker role and there are processes in place that mean it will be steady as it goes until a new government is in place.

About the only thing that is certain is that the happiest person in the country right now is Peters, Salvesen said.

“Winston will be sleeping very well. He’s the one holding all the cards right now.”

Looking for fodder beet seed?

Mid Canterbury farmers whose properties were flooded this winter will be glad of new factsheets released by Beef + Lamb New Zealand.

■ BEEF + LAMB NEW ZEALAND

Factsheets to help deal with floods Spring can bring some wild weather, so it’s timely that Beef + Lamb New Zealand have just released a set of three factsheets to help farmers prepare for – and deal with – the aftermath of deluges.

Developed in response to the recent floods in Otago, two of the factsheets – Preparing for a Flood and Recovering from a Flood – are guidelines to help farmers prepare for rain events and deal with both the immediate and long-term consequences.

The third in the set focuses on health and safety. It outlines farmers’ responsibilities when dealing with a volunteer workforce, covers-off the regulatory requirements for farmers and volunteersand provides practical advice on ensuring everyone’s safety in what can be a dangerous environment.

For farmers operating in flood-prone areas, the Preparing for a Flood factsheet gives farmers a checklist on what to do in an extreme rain event as well as outlin-

ing measures to help mitigate production losses due to flooding.

The Recovering from a Flood factsheet covers four aspects of the business; people, livestock, operational and land; and provides timelines and action-plans around each. This factsheet includes a decision tree and a detailed guide for regrassing sediment.

B+LNZ’s senior extension manager Aaron Meikle said the factsheets will help farmers organise their thinking during a flood event.

They deal with every aspect of the business and will help farmers set priorities during a stressful time.

The Health and Safety factsheet will help ensure farmers are meeting their regulatory requirements when using casual or volunteer labour.

These resources can be downloaded from the “Factsheets” area of the Knowledge Hub by using the keyword “flood” in the search bar.

MARKET REPORT Dairy This week forecasters predict strong winds, little rain and warmer temperatures and that is exactly what is needed to reduce soft soils and stimulate spring growth.

Most are still supplementing pasture with silage and some have been prevented from applying fertilizer N because it is too wet for truck application.

National August milk production is down and the ASB predicts Septembers could be too, and if this trend continues they suggest the forecast could rise to $7/ kg/ms.

While the derivative market pointed to an easing for whole milk powders, last week’s auction revealed a small lift and more ‘steady as you’ go pricing.

Butter lead the way with its 8th record high, whole milk powder pricing lifted in spite of increasing volumes but skim milk powder remains in the doldrums on the back of high European stockpiles.

Synlait Milk continue to impress with an improved profit and a record share price after debt was slashed. Their revenue and margins improved and they announced further investment in packaging of their infant formula product to move further down the value chain.

Fonterra is to announce its final result early this week and analysts point out that normally when payout increases, the company’s margins tighten.

MPI reports that they have done 20,000 tests for mycoplasma bovis and show how committed they are to eliminating this disease from New Zealand.

Lamb A stable week for export lamb schedules and indications suggest that pricing may have peaked.

Post Brexit NZ exports of lamb to the UK have dropped to record lows but processors have been successful in placing these volumes elsewhere at no price disadvantage.

Silver Fern Farms reported that it expects lamb numbers to be up this season after positive reports from early lambing areas.

They also suggest a $1/kg differential from pre-Christmas chilled product to

the main part of the season and if this results in a $6 schedule for that time of year, most sheep farmers will be well satisfied.

One company is offering $4.25-$4.50/ kg mutton contracts for the October/ November period as processors report strong demand from many countries for this product.

Wool The mini run off the bottom for crossbred wool was halted at last week’s North Island auction as a stronger currency and refusal by Chinese buyers to meet the current prices for hogget wools eased prices.

This resulted in both crossbred indicators falling back, with the coarse level now at 307c/kg clean and fine now at 359c.

Merino wool processors continue to show innovative ways to use their product with the Kiwi firm Allbirds raising $40 million to expand its footwear label.

Beef More steady export schedules for all classes of beef this week, except manufacturing cow, which continues its easing trend.

In its new season outlook, Silver Fern Farms warned that it believed the present store market was overheated and, once supply of prime animals lifts, schedules could fall in response to increasing volumes out of Australia and the US. Exporters believe the local trade market is well ahead of sustainable levels and believe an adjustment will soon come once finished animal numbers increase.

Deer No changes this week for venison confirms that spot market prices may have peaked at $9.70/kg and these price levels and demand will give impetus to rebuild the national herd.

The industry led advanced party system is now three years on and is well ahead of its farm number targets that encourages farmers to best practice management and improve production and profit, which will allow the sector to grow again.

Our Dansey brothers

BY MAX REEVES, VANESSA COULTER AND TANYA ZOE ROBINSON

while back, Ashburton Museum staff learned that a fantastic exhibition had been developed and was touring from the New Zealand Rugby Museum in Palmerston North.

Titled Balls, Bullets and Boots: From Rugby Field to Battlefield, it told the stories of players and coaches who also served in World War One. We wondered if any of the featured players or coaches had connections to Ashburton?

It turns out that Ashburton has close connections to one of New Zealand’s most extraordinary sporting and military families.

The Dansey family arrived in Ashburton in 1905, when their father was appointed postmaster.

With nine children, the family were well-known as prodigious athletes.

Their parents were Englishman, Roger Ingram Dansey, and his wife, Wikitoria Ngamihi Kahuao, daughter of a prominent Ngati Tuwharetoa family.

Harry Delamere Dansey (1874-1942)

A

fluent English, Maori and French speaker, Harry was involved in rugby clubs wherever he lived and was a capable club administrator throughout his life.

He played 11 games at halfback for Canterbury in an 1898 tour of the North Island.

One of the first Maori men to qualify as an engineer, his professional skills served him well on the rugby field just as his sporting prowess did on the battlefield.

In 1906 he married Winifred Mona Orr in Hakatere, the daughter of a prominent local farming family. Almost 40 years old when he enlisted in 1914, Harry sailed with the second draft of the Maori contingent and held the rank of second lieutenant.

He was soon promoted to lieutenant, then captain, and in 1918 was awarded the Military Cross for distinguished services on field.

He returned home in 1919.

Roger Ingram Dansey (1885-1938)

R

oger was a talented athlete, who played for Christ’s College 1st XV in 1901-02.

He joined the Ashburton Old Boys Football Club in 1904, and captained the Ashburton County representative team 1904 to 1905, and played for the South Island team, New Zealand Universities and the Maori All Blacks in 1910 and 1911.

Also an engineer, Roger enlisted as a lieutenant in the Maori Contingent in 1914.

Then 29, the examining physician described his physique as being, “exceptionally well developed”.

He arrived at Anzac Cove in 1915.

With Captain Pirimi Tahiwi, he is remembered for introducing the haka, Ka mate, to Gallipoli and for the powerful effect that war chant had upon both soldiers and the Turkish enemy.

Roger quickly moved up the

ranks as a leader of the Maori contingent. He known for leading from the front – in contrast to the British style, where leaders worked from behind their ranks.

Roger spoke fondly of his

troops, and once told an Australian paper, “the Maoris enjoyed nothing more than a good muck up with the bayonet and were prominent in all charges. They acted splendidly and I felt very proud of them”.

That fondness led to Roger being sent home at the end of 1915.

Along with two other officers, he refused to order his men to commit a suicidal charge during the battle of Sari Bair.

Instead, the three officers proposed to lead others under their commanding officer’s leadership, but would not take their own men to certain, pointless death.

Today, the act is read as bravery in the face of a poorly-equipped commanding officer’s orders.

For a short time, Roger returned home to recruit others, travelling extensively as a wellknown and inspiring rugby player and soldier.

On his return to the front he was promoted to major.

He would die in 1938 as a result of war injuries due to gassing, following many productive years of

engineering during peace time.

A talented family

R

oger and Harry’s brothers were also strong players and servicemen.

George (1878-1960) played rugby for the South Island team in 1905 and continued to play rugby until age 45.

He signed up in 1915, and sailed to war on the same ship as Dave Gallaher, captain of the legendary 1905–06 ’Original All Blacks’.

He was a selector for the New Zealand Maori team that toured Britain and France in 1926.

Edward Dansey (1888 – 1964), the younger brother, did not go to war.

He played for Methven in 1909, captained the Ashburton’s Southern Cross club, 1911 – 1912, and played five-eighth for Ashburton County, 1909 – 1912.

His son, John, played rugby for the RNZAF team in 1943. He was killed in 1945, while serving in the Solomon Islands.

Honouring the Fallen During the period of World War One, 1914 to 1915, many men from the Ashburton District signed up to fight for the Empire against the German army. Many did not return — almost 450 from Ashburton were killed. The first Ashburton men were killed on April 25, 1915 — the first Anzac Day. Ashburton philanthropist and patriot Frederick Ferriman presented a special flag and a flagpole to the families of those men. The Ashburton Museum with the assistance of the Rotary Club of Ashburton, has erected in front of the Museum one of the original Ferriman flagpoles, and on the centennial of the death of each Ashburton soldier will fly a replica flag. An original flag is on display in the museum. This week the Ashburton Museum honours: September 30: Frederick William LUNT

In brief

■ BOXING

Parker fight rubbished The reviews are in, and the world’s boxing websites are unimpressed with the Joseph Parker v Hughie Fury WBO heavyweight clash.

They are also united in believing Parker won’t unify the divison.

Tom Gray (the Ring) Parker, who is rated No. 5 by The Ring at heavyweight, looked lacklustre for most of the 12 rounds and Fury was on his bike throughout. As a result, the fight failed to deliver and the Manchester crowd had little reason to get excited.

Fury was attempting to win with ring generalship and movement. There was little in the way of clean, effective punching from either side, but Parker’s shots carried more weight and when he did land flush, he made a strong physical impression.

The 25-year-old boxer-puncher has plenty of physical tools but he switches off in fights as evidenced by his awful showing against late-replacement Razvan Cojanu in May. This performance was also unconvincing.

Anthony Joshua or Deontay Wilder, should they win their upcoming fights, could be lucrative options going forward.

Parker, however, must refine his game if he is to be given a serious chance of defeating either man.

Robert Ecksel (Boxing.com) It was a lacklustre fight by most accounts. Neither fighter nor performance was of championship calibre.

But when one judge had it a draw and two judges thought it was a wipeout, it’s impossible to know where to begin or where it might possibly end.

Both men were careful to a fault. Hughie used his height and speed to his advantage. Fighting behind the jab, he was landing on the outside, just enough to steal some rounds.

split opinions at ringside with Parker’s ponderous front-foot action contrasting with Fury’s bid to claim the title on the back foot.

Parker continued to land the most eye-catching efforts and despite the Fury camp’s vehement complaints to the contrary, it was hard to argue with the New Zealander retaining his title after a largely forgettable contest.

Fury was not quite busy enough to win the title after a bout which will hardly have Anthony Joshua losing any sleep.

ESPN Boxing Fury’s movement around the ring had left Parker looking nervous as the scores were about to be announced. Parker was unable to land any clean or powerful blows to trouble Fury, of England, in a messy and dreary fight.

Nevertheless, it was a win that silenced Fury’s home crowd and also improved Parker’s hopes of fighting one of the big names in the division.

I seriously doubt that Anthony Joshua will lose any sleep at the prospect of fighting either man.

Fightnews.com The elusive Fury used movement and a flicking jab to keep

Parker at bay. Parker tried to get inside with limited success and didn’t cut off the ring well.

Neither fighter landed many big shots in a rather disappointing contest. Judges awarded Parker’s aggressiveness over Fury’s backpedalling.

BoxingScene.com The scoring reflected the wildly

John Raspanti (maxboxing.com) The thinking before the bout was that Fury would use his legs and box-while Parker would chase after him. The theory was sound, though the action was limited.

Matt Christie (boxingnewsonline) The challenger always producing the classier work. Out of the ring since April last year, Fury opened exceptionally sharply.

On his toes and pinging out his jab, he made Parker look clumsy as the New Zealander swung and missed with alarming regularity.

The feeling at the end was that Hughie’s superior skillset had done enough and, at the final bell, Fury instinctively threw his arms into the air while Parker needed more persuasion to celebrate.

In the end, though, it was Parker who retained his title but again failed to impress.

Smith flies the flag at world champs Auckland rider Dion Smith was the lone Kiwi rider to finish the gruelling 267km elite men’s road race on the final day of the UCI Road Cycling World Championships in Norway yesterday.

Slovakian superstar Peter Sagan emerged from the pack in the final kilometre of the race to hold off a fierce sprint from Norwegian hopeful Alexander Kristoff to claim his third successful world championship road race title.

Smith, who completed his first Tour de France for his WantyGroupe Gobert professional team, was taken out by a crashed rider late in the race.

While the 24 year old, who fin-

ish in the top-10 young riders at Le Tour, fought hard to get back on, he caught up with riders getting dropped off the peloton.

With no chance of catching the peloton, Smith sat up to ride to the finish on the final of the 10 finishing loops in Bergen, featuring the climb of Salmon Hill on each lap.

“Dion had great legs today and was flying.

“He was managing things well in the peloton until Nicky Terpstra took him down in a crash,” said New Zealand Director Sportif, Craig Geater. “As the pace picked up there were quite a few crashes and unfortunately Dion was an innocent victim.

“While he got back on relatively unscathed, he needed some riders to work with to catch the peloton, but there were only riders being spat out the back of the race.

“But he should be pleased with his efforts today and it might have been interesting if he had been able to push up to that group that fought things out because he possesses a good sprint.”

Earlier Patrick Bevin became ill mid-race and withdrew after five laps, while Jack Bauer rode with the peloton until the pace went on with two laps remaining and he ran out of fuel in the legs. With his chances gone, he withdrew with a lap remaining.

High praise for Morgan Test halfback Cooper Cronk has declared NRL grand final opponent Michael Morgan has surpassed him on current form. While Cronk is assured of wearing the Australian No.7 jumper at the upcoming World Cup, there’s an argument to be made that Morgan has established himself as the form player of the finals series. Morgan has fired the Cowboys to an unlikely grand final berth which has shades of Jarryd Hayne rocketing Parramatta to the 2009 grand final. “He’s probably ahead of me at the moment,” Cronk said yesterday. “He’s playing elite – there’s no doubt about it.” - AAP

Call for Scott to play Queensland coach Kevin Walters has joined the call for Matt Scott to play in Sunday’s NRL grand final.

Coach Paul Green faces one of the toughest calls of his career as he mulls a return this week for veteran Scott, who hasn’t played since round two due to a knee injury.

Opinion is split over the decision, with Cowboys stars Jason Taumalolo and Michael Morgan keen to see the co-captain face Melbourne at ANZ Stadium. But rugby league greats Andrew Johns and Darren Lockyer have expressed concern his fitness and ability to keep up with the decider’s pace.

Fox happy in new home Shortly before packing his bags and moving to Melbourne from Wests Tigers, Josh Addo-Carr vowed to one day return to the joint venture.

Just 12 months on, having been talked about as a future rep star and on the verge of playing in his first NRL grand final, he has cause to reconsider. Like so many before him, the 21-year-old has been transformed from a middleof-the-road player to out-and-out gun since joining the Storm. After inking a three-year deal with the Storm he has set the competition alight in 2017, crossing for 21 tries in 26 games.

- AAP

Future rosy for Slater Billy Slater says he’s still to decide on his future but he’s making plans for life after league should the final be his last game. The Storm fullback’s first job was as a track work jockey and his ties to horses remain strong. As well as soaking up Melbourne’s 30-0 preliminary final thumping of Brisbane, Slater also celebrated the birth of a colt at a stud in country Victoria. “I was still up because I have trouble sleeping after a game so I was obviously very excited about the game and that we’re going to be playing in a grand final and then getting the news that my mare foaled a little colt was good,” Slater said. - AAP

Fittler ‘obvious choice’

Dion Smith

Brad Fittler’s experience in NSW’s junior coaching ranks makes him an obvious candidate for the Blues’ State of Origin role, according to NSW Rugby League chief executive David Trodden.

The NSWRL will work to compile a shortlist of replacements for Laurie Daley over the next month, with the aim to meet with likely candidates and a appoint a new coach before Christmas. Trodden revealed Fittler had expressed an interest in assuming the role. - AAP

In brief NBA deal for Mitchell Former New Zealand Breakers import Akil Mitchell has picked up an NBA deal with the Brooklyn Nets franchise. Mitchell, a 25-yearold forward, produced the goods in his sole Australian NBL season until suffering a nasty eye injury in January. His left eye popped out of its socket after a mid-game collision, causing fears his basketball career was over. He played no further games for the Breakers, but has recovered well enough to earn an NBA deal.

Cotchin free to play Richmond skipper Trent Cotchin will play in Saturday’s AFL grand final against Adelaide after being cleared of any wrongdoing in an incident involving Greater Western star Dylan Shiel. Cotchin bumped Shiel in last weekend’s preliminary final against GWS at the MCG, with the Giants midfielder later failing a concussion test. Cotchin risked becoming the first player to miss an AFL grand final because of a preliminary-final suspension since Collingwood’s Anthony Rocca in 2003.

Canterbury golfers dominate

By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Sunday was a tough day for the Aorangi golf teams as they faced off against northern neighbours Canterbury at the Ashburton Golf Club.

Sixteen golfers from Mid Canterbury took part, picking up mixed individual results.

In the men’s matches, Aorangi had a strong morning in the reverse singles, only going down 4.5-3.5.

Tinwald golfer Jeff Hewitt

picked up a win, defeating Reid Hilton 1-up.

The afternoon was much trickier pickings however, with Canterbury dominating, winning 6.5-1.5, with Ashburton club championships winner Jordan Green squaring his match against Matt McLean.

This gave Canterbury the overall victory 11-5.

The Aorangi women’s side also fared well in the morning, going down 4.5-3.5, with Ashburton’s Hillary Lovett winning 3/2, while

Tinwald golf championships winner Bronwyn Flannery, who was playing her second day of 36 holes of golf, squared her match.

Ashburton’s Catherine Knight was able to get one over former Ashburtonian Catherine Bell, winning their clash 1-up.

The afternoon was a struggle for Aorangi, however, going down 7.5-0.5, giving them an overall loss of 12-4.

One bright spot for Aorangi was the men’s masters side, who only lost 6.5-5.5.

The two sides drew the morning 3-3, with Ashburton’s Robbie Bell winning 2/1, while Tinwald’s Regan Stills won comfortably 4/3.

A narrow 3.5-2.5 loss in the afternoon was their undoing, with Tinwald’s John Smitheram drawing his match, while both Robbie Bell and Owen Miller won their matches.

Canterbury won the under 19 men games 6-2 overall, winning both the morning and afternoon 3-1.

Justin Thomas bags $US10 million payday

Justin Thomas

FedEx Cup champion Justin Thomas says he’ll lean on Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth for advice on how to sustain his worldbeating form after becoming golf’s $25 million dollar man.

Despite American rookie Xander Schauffele winning the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta yesterday, world No.4 Thomas took out the $US10 million FedEx Cup title.

Schauffele carded a two-under-par 68 for a 12-under 268 and a one-shot win over Thomas (66), whose 11-under total and runner-up finish knocked Spieth off the top of the FedEx standings.

“It’s one of the best achievements in my career without winning a golf tournament,” said Thomas, who entered the tournament in second on points.

With Thomas’ whirlwind season featuring five US PGA Tour titles, including a breakthrough major at the US PGA Championship, the Kentucky native amassed $US9,921,560 in prize money.

Topped off with the FedEx payday, Thomas stands to bank more than $A25 million.

“It was an unbelievable season,” said Thomas The 24-year-old says that he

would be picking the brains of 14-time major champion Woods – the only player to win the FedEx Cup twice since the series was created in 2007 – and Spieth.

“I’m going to try to spend a lot of time with Tiger and Jordan, because they’re the two people I’m closest to and they’ve both achieved way more than this,” said Thomas.

“I want them to tell me things they learned or did wrong or would have done differently.”

Americans Russell Henley (65) and Kevin Kisner (70) tied for third at 10 under.

Rio Olympic silver medallist Luuka Jones is looking forward to testing her new-found C1 skills at the kayak and canoe slalom world championships beginning in France today. Jones will be contesting both K1 and C1 classes in Pau after expanding her repertoire to include the C1 canoe for the first time this year. The C1 women’s class, where competitors kneel in their boats with a single- bladed paddle, has been recently added to the 2020 Olympic programme.

Manson in quarter-final New Zealander Robbie Manson has eased through the heats into the quarter-finals of the single sculls at the rowing world championships in Florida. Manson, who broke the single sculls world record earlier this year in Poland, went head-tohead with Britain’s Tom Barras in the sixth heat. Barras held a slight lead over Manson going into the final sprint, with the Kiwi dropping his stroke rate as the 23-year-old Englishman took a comfortable win. Barras’s 6min 51.20sec was the fastest time across all eight heats, with Manson second quickest in 6:56.97.

Zaza strikes again Simone Zaza added to his scoring streak with a late goal that gave unbeaten Valencia a 3-2 win at Real Sociedad in a thrilling Spanish league match. Zaza’s fourth goal in his last two games came with a left-footed shot from the middle of the area in the 85th minute yesterday, sealing the victory after the lead changed twice.

- AP

Saint Etienne held Saint Etienne striker Jonathan Bamba salvaged a 2-2 home draw from the penalty spot against Rennes as the 10-time champions missed the chance to go third in the French league. Oscar Garcia’s team played poorly during an uneventful first half but SaintEtienne applied more pressure after the interval at Geoffroy Guichard stadium, coming twice from behind.

■ VOLKSTOK’N’BARREL

Improved footing required Donna Logan and Chris Gibbs are hoping their prayers will be answered for the final leg of the Triple Crown at Hawke’s Bay. The Ruakaka trainers were bullish about the chances of Volkstok’n’barrell in Saturday’s Gr.1 Windsor Park Plate (1600m) before the rain came, but the multiple elite level winner still did them proud in finishing fifth.

“He was fabulous.

“He was near last turning for home and he couldn’t get out wide enough so it was a really, really good effort,” Logan said.

“We were pretty confident and if the track been a bit firmer it could well have been a different outcome.”

“He pulled up very well and ate everything up so we’ll be back for the Livamol.

“Hopefully, the weather gods will be on our side.

“He’s improved and the extra distance on a decent track will really suit him.”

Volkstok’n’barrell went to Hastings off the back of just one outing, having finished fifth when resuming in an open sprint

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

WordWheel

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): In some ways you feel like you’re finally getting the respect you deserve, and in other ways it feels like too little too late. Why isn’t this enough? Perhaps the attention is coming from the wrong person.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Pushing won’t make things happen any faster. Certainly people will want to rush to you when you give them a compelling enough reason and then leave the right amount of space between you.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You can’t help but be curious, and your compassion makes it difficult for you to shut a door once it’s ajar, therefore people will open up to you whether you want them to or not.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The fact-finding part of your mission could go on longer, but the law of diminishing returns would apply. You have all of the information you need to make your decision.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Whatever game you choose to play, you’ll be good for the game. Your high level of sportsmanship will bring out the best in your opponents. You’re especially wellmatched with Sagittarius and Aries.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Your point of view isn’t wrong, though it may seem a little stale today.

You’ve seen things from this angle for too long. Spin the globe. When it comes to worldviews, all reference points are relative.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Because you put care into the little things, people will trust you with the big things. From dressing yourself to presenting big projects, attention to detail is what will make the difference.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Wrap up those loose ends, because a new chapter is opening up. You’re about to meet someone who will help you do the very thing you’ve wanted to for so long but never had the opportunity to.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Smiles improve moods. Even fake ones. So does sunshine.

So do hugs. The things that make you feel happier may seem corny to you, but don’t let that stop you from trying them.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You appreciate agreeable people, but you’re more likely to trust those who disagree with you, since it takes nerve to disagree with someone as strong as you.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Choose your words carefully. Semantics matter. That’s why car dealers advertise “pre-owned vehicles” instead of “used cars.” Consider which words might give you an emotional advantage.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You don’t have to work in “artistic” media for what you’re doing to be considered an art. Love is an art. Walking is an art. Artistic impulses will be validated by like minds who see the deeper levels.

WordBuilder

Insert the missing letter to complete an eight-letter word reading clockwise or anti-clockwise.

How many words of three or more letters, including plurals, can you make from the five letters, using each letter only once? No foreign words or words beginning with a capital are allowed. There is at least one fiveletter word.

Sport Delaney joins Highlanders Canterbury provincial boss Glenn Delaney will join the Highlanders as defence coach for next year’s Super Rugby campaign. Delaney has picked up where Scott Robertson left off with the Cantabrians in 2017, winning six of seven games to date and leading the Premiership division.

Delaney will coach the red-and-blacks through to the end of this year’s National Provincial Championship, before relocating south to Otago. Joe Maddock, meanwhile, will take over as Canterbury coach next year.

King falls short in Macau

Ashburton College’s Josh Lowe attempts to block a shot in his side’s 83-72 loss to Burnside in the final of the Canterbury Basketball Association’s U-20 competition on Saturday.

Kiwi squash player Joelle King has fallen just short defending her crown at the Macau Open in China. Egyptian second seed Nouran Gohar, the world No.7, took 48 minutes to beat the fourth-seeded King 13-11 11-7 12-10 in the final. King, 28, qualified for the final with a cruisy 11-5 11-3 11-7 semifinal win over 21-year-old Egyptian qualifier Yathreb Adel. In recent weeks, world No.11 King has also made the semifinals at the prestigious China Open and won two gold medals at the world doubles championships.

Pipped at the post The Ashburton College senior boys’ team was a beaten finalist in the Canterbury Basketball Association’s under 20 competition on Saturday, but it was a close-fought battle with winners Burnside.

The two teams have duelled several times this season in the under 20 and school competition with Burnside continuing its narrow advantage 83-72 at Cowles Stadium.

AshColl held a 40-33 lead at half-time and was up 57-50 at three-quarter time, but a massive push by Burnside in the final 10 minutes gave them the trophy.

“The final was a very evenly

played game for three-quarters as both teams went point for point, said AshColl coach Pip Johnston.

“Both teams would have a couple of runs and try to pull away but every time this happened the other team would rally back and close the gap.

“Heading into the fourth quarter we were up and the boys were playing really well until Burnside got the better of us and started to make shots and we couldn’t hit anything.

“We had one last crack at them with two minutes to go and down by six, we got fouled and went to the line.

“Then we were down by four

All eyes on Scott for final P17

but Burnside turned up the heat and splashed two 3s to put them up by 10.

“The boys were deflated and couldn’t bring it back.”

Top scorers for AshColl were Fletcher Arnold on 20 points and Josh Lowe on 19.

Arnold was named in the grade’s first five.

“Overall I’m very proud of making the final in our first year and thought the boys played their hearts out.

“A huge thank you to all the parents and friends of the boys that came up to watch and cheer us on,” said Johnston.

AshColl played under Basketball Mid Canterbury as a club

side in the Saturday competition, which involved travelling to Christchurch for 17 games since the season started in April.

While the extra game time helped the team’s performance in the school-based Thompson Trophy competition, it also exposed the players to playing possibilities once they leave college.

Johnston himself has played in the Canterbury premier competition since leaving school; he put that aside this year to concentrate on coaching.

“The boys have put in a lot of hard work over the season.

“The sky’s the limit.”

Honoured to be cleaner Embarrassed by the spotlight, Johnathan Thurston says cleaning up rubbish in the dressing room is symbolic of the Cowboys’ culture cultivated by coach Paul Green. Cameras again caught the injured Thurston collecting drink bottles and strapping tape after North Queensland’s stirring 29-16 win over the Roosters on Saturday. Such domestic slavery is not a job associated with a future Immortal, but the superstar halfback cringes when asked about his selfless toil. “Other boys are doing it tonight, it’s who we are as a club.”
