Students reeling at after-ball ruling

BY MATT MARKHAM

MATT.M@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Repertory’s first show?

P15

Ashburton College students were left reeling yesterday after they were told that the after-ball function following their annual school ball on Friday night would be a ‘dry’ event.

They now have until today to make a decision on whether they still wish to attend the event or forgo their tickets and receive a full refund, opening up some concerns within the community in regards to potential unsupervised parties.

After meetings between the organising committee, made up of parents and the school leaders yesterday morning,

the students were told of the news at a special assembly during final period in the afternoon.

One student spoken to, who the Guardian has chosen not to name, said the announcement came as a big shock and there was a lot of unhappy students following the news.

“It got pretty loud in there,” they said.

“They pretty much told us that it wasn’t a decision by the parents, the school or the Ashburton Police, but a decision that was made for them up in Wellington.

“We aren’t very happy about it, especially because it’s been so well organised

and with so much parent supervision.”

The letter that was given to students

by Ashburton College, who are not directly involved with the after-ball, stated that the organising committee’s decision came following communication from the New Zealand Police who said their position was clear.

They said that organised after-ball parties involving the consumption of alcohol and a charge of any sort are illegal irrespective of the age of the attendees.

Luxton, Falloon little known in their own electorate – poll

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton residents are poorly aquainted with who their main political party electorate candidates are, a Guardian street poll suggests.

Twenty men and women ranging from 17 to in their 80s were asked whether they recognised photos of Labour’s Jo Luxton and National’s Andrew Falloon.

Only seven of those knew Jo Luxton represented the Labour Party and five of those could name her, with 11 of the remaining 13 not having a clue who she was or what party she represented.

The remaining two of the 13 knew Luxton’s name but not what party she represented, with one asking “She’s National isn’t she?”

The results were even worse for Falloon; only four people knew who he was, being able to recall his name and the political party he stood for.

With less than three months to go before the election, the results suggest the two candidates have a long way to go to raise their profiles.

One woman who was a National supporter knew who Luxton was, but not Falloon.

She thought the reason was she had not received anything from National in the mail, and she had seen Luxton’s photo on her

newsfeed on Facebook.

One retired Ashburton farmer who recognised neither of the candidates said she was traditionally a National supporter and liked incumbent Jo Goodhew, but had been unaware who was replacing her.

She planned to give her party vote to National but was still weighing up her candidate vote.

One elderly Ashburton man did not know either of the candidates and was not even planning on voting, blaming New Zealand politicians and the political system.

“The pack of lies they tell, why go and vote for them?” he said.

One Ashburton grandmother recognised both candidates.

She said she would be giving her candidate vote to Falloon and her party vote to the Greens, because National was good for the economy but needed to be reminded of the importance of the environment.

Ashburton accountant Ian Doel was among those who did not recognise either candidate.

“It’s more about the policies than about the candidates,” he said.

He had just picked up his Electoral Commission voter detail form in the mail, and would definitely be voting, but had not yet made up his mind who to vote for.

“I haven’t had a chance to read what they are offering,” he said.

Ashburton Guardian

In brief Clarification National candidate for Rangitata Andrew Falloon did not say he believed Labour will receive more votes in the electorate than what the party did at the last election.

At Minister of Finance Steven Joyce’s post-Budget tour stop in Ashburton last week he said in his introductory talk: “Don’t believe for a moment that this seat, Rangitata, is a safe National seat.

By any metric Labour ran a woeful candidate at the last election. Our well known MP Jo Goodhew is stepping down. I’m not defending any majority – I have to go out and earn every vote. I’m working hard to do that, out every day in Ashburton and Timaru, knocking on doors.” Falloon said yesterday it was not his role to speculate on the election result locally, ultimately that was a matter for voters.

Three injured St John transported three patients following a car accident on State Highway One, Tinwald. Two had minor injuries and one had moderate injuries. Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade members also responded to the nose to tail crash, which happened shortly after 9am yesterday.

Electrician engulfed in grain silo a timely warning for workers An electrician working on top of a grain silo had to be resuscitated after being engulfed in grain.

The electrical company he worked for, Austin Bros, and farming partnership Mark and Sonia Dillon were fined $35,000 and $69,000 respectively in a sentence this month following the incident.

Two electricians were working on top of the grain to wire up motors on the Dillons’ property when a truck arrived to empty the silo. The driver turned on the grain outfeed auger, causing one of the electricians to become engulfed.

The electrician had to be dug out and resuscitated, with four

rescuers requiring hospital treatment for breathing difficulties.

“The dangers of working on grain are well known,” said WorkSafe chief inspector Keith Stewart.

“Moving grain acts like quicksand and can bury a person in seconds. Even if grain appears to be solid, it is not a safe surface for workers,” Stewart said.

A WorkSafe investigation found poor risk management, emergency planning and training for confined spaces work put the electrician’s life in danger while threatening the safety of 14 others who went to his aid.

“The electricians should have been wearing harnesses; the truck driver should have been told they

were in the silo. It was good luck rather than good management that meant no one died in this incident,” Stewart said.

The victim who was engulfed was awarded $7000 and the electrician who got out of the silo to raise the alarm was awarded $3000.

In brief

Hundreds of art works arrive for exhibition Nicole Bourke (left) and Ben Lysaght shift some of the hundreds of entries into the Ashburton Art Gallery storage area ahead of the Ashburton Society of Arts 53rd annual exhibition, which opens on the evening of Monday, July 3.

Publicity officer Mandy Casey said Saturday had been a busy day receiving all the entries.

“The standard is really high and there seemed to be quite a few birds featuring in works. It’s always interesting seeing what is entered, and the variety, and the mediums used,” she said.

She said a count up of paintings, sculptures and other items totalled about 490, including guest artists, yesterday.

Tickets are on sale for the exhibition opening night, and the exhibition itself will run from July 4 to 28.

Expensive weekend A big night out? We know a boys weekend away can lead to messy nights but one celebrity trio’s booze-fuelled evening in New Zealand has landed them one hefty bill. Model Kris Smith, The Bachelor star Sasha Mielczarek and a friend had been enjoying a boys weekend away in the snowy paradise of Queenstown when they decided to let their hair down and go out on a boozy binge.

Mielczarek posted a photo of their bill with the caption: “This is what 3 blokes and 4 hours can do.”

Their bill totalled a whopping $872.

Yesterday’s FIZZ Symposium was all about making sugar tax an election issue with national and international speakers explaining the effects of sugar and what was being done around the world to combat it. The day ended with a political panel discussion on the issue chaired by Mark Sainsbury.

■ METHVEN DISASTER PLAN

Emergency response plan rolled out this week

Prime Minister Bill English has attempted to draw a line under the Todd Barclay controversy after a week of difficult interviews – repeatedly saying he has nothing further to add to a “normal” employment dispute. Speaking at his regular post-Cabinet press conference, English answered a number of questions and in doing so said he had nothing to add 12 times. He eventually refused to answer more questions.

Crossbows ruled okay

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

In the case of a devastating earthquake, snowstorm or other disaster, Methven residents will be able to count on a toprate emergency management system.

That is thanks to over 18 months of hard work by members of a Methven steering committee, in conjunction with Ashburton District Council Civil Defence.

The Methven Community Emergency Response Plan will

be rolled out to the public at 7pm in the Mount Hutt Memorial Hall and Heritage Centre supper room on Thursday.

Emergency management officer Don Geddes is hoping to get as many people along as possible.

The idea for the plan evolved after he was approached by a member of the community following the Canterbury earthquakes.

“It’s always going to be more effective if you have people in the community working with

others, rather than someone sitting in an office in Ashburton telling them what should be done,” Geddes said.

It was an emergency response model which some other areas of New Zealand had introduced.

The Methven plan was a first for the council, and could work as a template for other Mid Canterbury communities, and a similar plan was being completed for Rakaia.

The plan involved a wide range of groups as being able to

help with tasks required in an emergency response. It identified the Mount Hutt Memorial Hall and Heritage Centre as the incident control point and Civil Defence centre.

The hall is equipped with a generator and back-up communication system.

“It’s really just given ownership of any response back to the community,” Geddes said.

Steering committee members are Ron Smith, Katherine Lorenzo, Rob Markillie and Hamish Gilpin.

A Waiheke Island man selling “toothpick crossbows” is celebrating a reversal of a shortlived ban on the products by TradeMe. Thomas Ladbrook, 30, said he started selling the 10.5cm metal “mini-crossbows” on Friday afternoon. TradeMe told him at 8.30pm on Sunday it had removed his advertisements. But yesterday the auction site’s head of trust and safety Jon Duffy said his team had decided to allow the crossbows to be sold again.

■ RAKAIA PLAYCENTRE

Playcentre celebrates Matariki with a hangi, friends

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

Students and family at the Rakaia Playcentre came together last night to celebrate Matariki.

Staff and volunteers spent the morning preparing a celebratory hangi in preparation for a group dinner in the evening.

Playcentre president Liz Waugh said alongside current attending families, families who attended the playcentre previously had also been invited.

The students had also joined in the preparations, creating paper lanterns that would be lit once it was dark, as well as colourful stars.

“It is our first year doing a hangi but in the past we have done Matariki nights, but just with a barbecue,” Waugh said.

A wide range of food was on the menu, with pumpkin, potatoes, kumara, yams, carrots, venison, mutton, pork, chicken and stuffing all on offer.

Ex lawyer to marry ‘evil’ client A disgraced former lawyer is set to marry an “evil and dangerous predator” inside prison today.

Davina Murray lost her legal career after smuggling an iPhone, cigarettes and a lighter to her client Liam Reid in 2011 while he was in Mt Eden prison.

Reid was serving a 23-year sentence for raping and killing deaf woman Emma Agnew in Christchurch in 2007, as well as the rape, attempted murder and robbery of a 21-year-old student in Dunedin nine days later.

A prison source said the couple would be married in Auckland Prison at Paremoremo today

at 10am. Tom Sherlock, deputy prison director, confirmed a wedding was scheduled to take place.

He said a prisoner is allowed to marry their partner with the permission of the prison director, who considers whether the ceremony poses a threat to the safety, security or good order of the prison.

“Although a rare occurrence, weddings or civil union ceremonies are not restricted in prisons and each application is considered on a case-by-case basis.

“The appropriate security measures will be in place tomor-

row. There is no cost to the prison.”

Permission for the marriage was granted despite Murray being convicted of smuggling contraband to her client.

Reid was described as an “evil and dangerous predator” by Justice Lester Chisholm, who also imposed preventative detention when sentencing Reid – a measure reserved for the worst criminals.

However, Murray, once a candidate for the Maori Party, was convinced of Reid’s innocence and has acted on his behalf in a number of appeals.

She denied smuggling the contraband, claiming it was planted by prison guards but was eventually convicted and sentenced to 50 hours’ community work in 2013.

As a result, Davina was struck off as “not a fit and proper person to operate as a legal practitioner”.

Text messages produced as evidence in the 2013 trial showed the relationship between Murray and Reid was more than strictly professional. “... Need to smuggle in 2 witnesses into jail as my staff to witness my wedding. When he gets out we will do the big la-la,” she

wrote to a friend in Australia.

Murray discussed wedding vows with the friend and said the secret marriage could jeopardise Reid’s appeal. “My heart says: ‘I should just do it’ but my head says: ‘Wait’.’’

She also told a friend she had kissed Reid in a way she had never kissed anyone before.

“I hate that I’m in love with him ... if the courts say no, I wouldn’t care but I’m scared to lose him ... He makes me laugh, he makes me think, he makes me cry, he makes me feel beautiful, he makes me sing.’’

■ BRITAIN

Apartment block blaze Dozens of London firefighters have battled a blaze at a block of flats neighbouring an estate that was evacuated over unsafe cladding.

Nearly 60 firefighters attended the building at Waxham House in Camden, only a few minutes drive from Chalcots Estate, a collection of residential buildings which was evacuated last week following urgent checks that followed the Grenfell Tower disaster.

The London Fire Brigade tweeted overnight they had nearly 60 firefighters attending the Camden unit fire that saw the block become engulfed in flames.

Dramatic footage shared from the scene shows smoke billowing

from the building’s second storey as fire engines line that street.

Fire crews managed to contain the blaze and the fire brigade tweeted the fire was under control by 10pm.

The block of flats is just over 2.5km from Chalcots estate, where thousands of people were asked to evacuate last week after it emerged the building were coated in the same deadly cladding that it is believed helped the fire to spread at shocking speed in the Grenfell Tower inferno that is presumed to have killed 79 people.

Yesterday the government announced 60 high rise building had failed safety tests.

■ COLOMBIA

Stricken ferry sinks ‘in minutes’ Nine people were dead and 28 missing after a tourist ferry packed with around 170 passengers for the holiday weekend capsized yesterday on a reservoir near the Colombian city of Medellin, officials said.

A major rescue effort involving Colombia’s air force and firefighters from nearby cities was looking for survivors at the Guatape reservoir where the four-storey El Almirante boat sank.

As it went down, a flotilla of recreational boats and jet skis rushed to the scene to pull people from the vessel and deliver them safely to the shore, avoiding an even deadlier tragedy.

Police commander Jorge Nieto told Blu Radio that authorities were still in the process of identifying the victims and the nationalities of those on board were not yet known.

The air force sent a helicopter to the Guatape reservoir near Medellin, the country’s second biggest city, while the local mayor said firefighters and scuba divers were heading to the town.

Medellin’s mayor appealed to motorists to stay off roads to facilitate the arrival of rescuers, ambulances and first responders.

The President of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos, tweeted: “Faced with emergency in

Youths who survived the capsizing of a ferry wait for more information about their missing friends and relatives.

PHOTO AP

Guatape the air force and relief agencies are taking care of the situation.

“We are ready to provide required assistance.”

“The most important thing right now is to save lives,” said Mayor Federico Gutierrez.

Dramatic videos circulating on social media show the

ferry, called El Almirante, rocking back and forth as people crawled down from a thirdfloor roof as the ship began sinking.

A flotilla of recreational boats rushed to the scene to pull people from the vessel, avoiding an even deadlier tragedy.

It’s unclear what caused the boat to sink but survivors told local media that it appeared to be overloaded and none of the passengers on board were wearing life vests.

Daniel Giraldo, owner of an Italian restaurant in Guatape, said he went to the bay after hearing the sound of ambulances.

When he got to the shore people told him the ship had gone under.

“It sank in a matter of four minutes,” he said.

Next he went to the hospital where he said he saw a baby girl who had been saved but whose mother is missing.

The reservoir is a popular weekend destination a little more than an hour from Medellin. It was especially busy as Colombians celebrated the long holiday weekend.

It was created as a result of a controversial dam built in the late 1970s, is widely recommended as a place to visit, with boat rides on the water being cited.

■ AUSTRALIA

Extra security guards as Kiwi goes to court Sentencing has been delayed for a New Zealand national due to be sentenced after the death of a man in Australia amid fresh allegations he assaulted prison guards this year.

New Zealand national Armstrong Renata was to have

been sentenced in the Brisbane Supreme Court yesterday for unlawful striking causing the death of Cole Miller, 18, in January last year. The 22-year-old punched Miller in the back of the head while out in the Fortitude Valley night-

club district in January 2016.

Miller suffered massive brain trauma, and his family made the heartbreaking decision to turn off his life support in hospital the following day.

Renata was escorted into the dock in handcuffs yesterday

flanked by an unusually high number of security guards.

The court heard he had been charged with two counts of serious assault in April, which solicitor Adam Magill confirmed were to have been against corrective service officers. - AAP

Max Key may have taken things a step too far in a new snap shared on social media. The son of former Prime Minister John Key posted a snap of himself posing in front of a shiny Rolls-Royce.

No problems there. It’s the caption that’s causing a fuss. He wrote: “What one would you rather ride?” Is he just being cheeky? Or is it bad taste? Fans of Key seem to believe it’s poor taste, with one writing: “Sorry bro but it seems you’ve got no taste.” Another fan said: “Perhaps.... if the chauffeur comes with the vehicle.” Maybe Max should find other things to post about than forms of transport.

The voice of Moana A young singer from Tokoroa has been cast as the voice behind Disney’s Moana in a new version of the film entirely in te reo Maori. Jaedyn Randell, 16, has been picked to play the starring role of teenager Moana Waialiki in the hit animated movie released late last year.

The Hamilton Girls’ High School student said she was excited to be a part of the new version of the film – the first Disney movie to be translated into te reo – and to work alongside the likes of performance director Rachel House, who also played Gramma Tala in the original Moana.

Grace ‘haughty, arrogant’ We always knew Grace Kelly was a princess in the literal sense. But the Hollywood star, who became Princess of Monaco after marrying Prince Rainier III in 1956, was also prone to behaving in the manner of a spoilt royal – particularly when it came to having her picture taken. A photographer who spent his career photographing the British royal family, as well as some of the biggest stars of the 70s and 80s, has said she was the “most difficult royal” he has ever worked with. Reginald Davis, whose portfolio includes the Queen, the Prince of Wales and Winston Churchill, as well as the Shah and Empress of Iran has described Princess Grace as “haughty, arrogant and distant beyond belief”.

OUR VIEW

After-ball party ruling shortsighted Lisa Fenwick

CHIEF SUBEDITOR

A

s a parent of teenagers, I am stunned at the absolute PC stupidity gone wrong with the latest clanger dropped on the Ashburton after-ball party committee and students yesterday, three days out from the Ashburton College Ball.

No alcohol is to be consumed at the after-ball because of a court order.

If that order is breached, the organising committee could face a fine of up to $20,000 and a possible conviction.

Yes, our teens have to be safe.

And as a parent, the less alcohol that makes its way to those notfully-developed brains the better.

And no, you don’t have to drink to have fun. But this is a big night for the Year 12s and 13s and many are going to try and find a way to drink no matter what restrictions are placed on them.

That’s why it was fantastic the students were going to the supervised, strict and structured Ashburton after-ball event.

There were to be many parent helpers, all stationed throughout the building and outside, no matter what the weather.

Parent helpers were certainly not allowed to drink before or during (as it should be) and not allowed to leave their posts … their job was to keep their eyes peeled at all times and keep the ball-goers safe.

Anyone too drunk would have to be picked up and taken home by a parent or guardian.

No-one was allowed to leave unless there was a designated parent or guardian to collect them. Can’t get much safer than that.

But no, common-sense has gone out the window. Gone are the safety guards put in place by parents that want their children to be able to drink in a safe environment.

Now, individual parties will pop up – many of them already being planned and many of them with no adults, no restrictions – now that’s frightening.

Alternatively, the small amount of time between the ball and the after-ball could see students become loaded with alcoholic shots … as many shots as they can pour down their throats in half an hour.

The impact way too much alcohol way too quickly is, at best, an unpleasant mess to clean up.

A police officer once told me that parents have no real legal control over teenagers. So it’s pretty hard to stop them going to these unsupervised parties unless you’re one of the lucky parents who have obedient children.

Way to go New Zealand lawmakers, logic and common-sense have just flown straight out the window and taken the kitchen sink with them.

WHAT YOU ARE SAYING

hile there is plenty of positive reaction to some additional facilities at the EA Networks Centre, it would appear the majority of people from the district would like to see the parking issue addressed first.

At times the carpark can feel a little like the Auckland Motorway at 5 o’clock and spaces are quickly snapped up on busy nights when sporting events are being held.

Meanwhile our poll this week sees continued support for the inclusion of a waterslide as the first choice for any additions made.

Bennett on target with effective firearms changes ment for semi-automatics.

Another idea thankfully rejected – that failure to comply with gun storage regulations must result in revocation of a firearm’s licence.

Caught up in this would be farmers and hunters in back country huts, or who carry a firearm in a vehicle (bolt removed, unloaded, stored out of sight).

Paula Bennett also rejected moves for registration of all guns.

Such registers have proven to be ineffective in identifying illegal firearms or reducing gun crime wherever they have been tried around the world.

As a submission by Rural Women NZ to the select committee pointed out, it’s estimated the Canadian government spent about $1 billion on a registry but only managed to record about two-thirds of all firearms in circulation.

RW NZ made another good point that Federated Farmers has also emphasised: Rather than more bureaucracy and impositions, it would be more effective to invest in additional rural police to follow-up on thefts and other crime. It’s gratifying that government has made some commitments on that front as well.

Rick Powdrell FROM THE FARM

F

armers are pleased with developments in the past fortnight on two related fronts – firearms and stock theft.

Federated Farmers has welcomed the measured and practical response by Police Minister Paula Bennett to recommendations of the Law and Order Select Committee on issues around illegal possession of firearms.

With gangs and other criminals who use guns in their sights, the committee – no doubt with the best of intentions – put forward 20 recommendations.

Trouble with some of their proposals was that farmers who use guns as an essential tool, and law-abiding hunters and shooters, would have been caught in the crossfire, with significant extra expenses, impositions and restrictions that would have done nothing to curtail activities of the real target – the criminals.

Rural folk share the concerns of wider society about anyone who uses a gun to commit a crime, but there’s no point to additional regulation if it’s not actually going to make a difference.

For example, those who steal stock often do so in the dead of night, and chances are they’re carrying a knife or firearm. In remote areas, it can fall on the farmer to go out and confront

For most farmers a shotgun is a valuable work tool, especially when it comes to pest control. these parasites.

It’s a risk to their safety, and that of their family and staff, so it was satisfying to learn the Sentencing (Livestock Rustling) Amendment Bill has just been drawn from the ballot to go before Parliament.

Unlike some of the select committee’s firearms proposals, this bill has measures that will be a significant deterrent to the criminal element. If passed, rustling would be considered an aggravating factor at sentencing.

This will be doubly effective if MPs take on board the Feds’ view that penalties for stock theft – which is estimated to cost the farming community $120 million a year – include the threat of confiscation of vehicles and equipment used in the crime, as is the case with fisheries prosecutions.

Quite right that seven of the

Law and Order Select Committee’s recommendations are to be adopted, including clarification that gang members or prospects must not be considered ‘fit and proper’ to possess firearms; greater publicity of amnesty provisions in the Arms Act, a standdown period after revocation of a licence and checks that firearms brought in on visitor permits are exported or transferred legally.

The committee wanted a new restricted licence endorsement category for all semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.

This would have ushered in greater compliance costs for what is the most efficient tool for farmers to control fast-moving, numerous pest species such as rabbits, hares, wallabies, Canada geese and paradise ducks. The criminal element is not going to bother to have any licence, let alone one with a special endorse-

YOUR VIEW

Recent unreasonable profiling of the Methodist Parish and its facility after 29 years of mutual cohabitation and respectful accommodation one to the other in what has been a majorly conservative tenancy is seriously disappointing.

To see Ashburton Toy Library Incorporated and its President Andrea Moore openly venting angst over would-be renegotiated clauses of necessity in a business renewal of mutual tenancy to hire Methodist Church property is painting a perverse image of the church.

Alas, even more so, given that

the church has sincerely agreed to meet to discuss matters; yet Toy Library has publicly pre-empted prospects before discussion takes place.

Let it be very clearly understood, (as they have been advised and shown in what still is a new “concessionary” offer) the Ashburton Methodist Parish is keen in continuing a tenancy synergy with the Toy Library going forward; all be it the church expressing a practicality for amended terms of reference aligned to today’s reality in landlord client alliance.

The current, and concluding three-year contract has provided 54m² of storage space and 228m² of retailing room for just $400 plus GST monthly assigned to the Toy

Library; the church’s own need and its charitable assistance to that tenancy is out of date and is now seriously compromising the potential of co-operative benefit for space.

It is too, very poor form by that organisation to publicly denigrate and malign the church for seeking nothing more than something closer to ‘justifiable’ up-to-date entitlement.

Today, sadly, the lamenting of the Toy Library comes because the church has proposed a need to take back 9m² of its own space and increase Toy Library rental.

The benevolence in this commerce by the church over many past years, (and indeed, even still in its first draft offer going for-

ward) is, in one outburst and confusion being seriously overlooked and castigated.

Ashburton business rental property occupancy involves utility and services rates atop tenancy costs, lucrative storage and commercial retailing m² rates are more than four times higher than the above referenced figures.

Ashburton Toy Library has never participated in the church “overheads” nor has it ever faced commercial levels of tenancy during its occupancy; current lambasting of the church is unjust and unfair when considering the benefits 29 years of low-priced rental has meant in encouraging them to succeed and achieve.

Sky TV, Vodafone cancel appeal

By Holly Ryan Sky TV chief executive John Fellet says the decision to cancel its and Vodafone’s merger appeal was a mutual one, with the costs likely to outweigh the benefits.

A planned $3.44 billion media merger between Sky TV and Vodafone was declined by the Commerce Commission earlier this year, mainly due to Sky’s monopoly on premium sport content.

The commission argued that a merger would substantially lessen competition.

The two companies were planning to appeal the decision until this weekend, when Fellet said the mutual decision was made to cancel it.

“The more we started looking at this, the more it looked like we could acquire the synergies without having to go through the merger,” Fellet said.

“My attorneys were telling me the merger could take a year, we could probably bank on it being at least a million dollars and then it would still be a coin flip on whether you win or lose.”

Fellet said even if the appeal had succeeded, the company would

need to go through another shareholder vote and then decide on company valuations, which had taken six months the first time.

“At the end of the day I’d rather use that million dollars for additional content for my customers,” he said.

In its termination of the sale and purchase agreement to the NZX, Sky said it would continue to work closely with Vodafone to strengthen commercial relationships for the benefit of its con-

said he couldn’t comment on the company’s valuation, saying he could only continue to try and drive value going forward.

Forsyth Barr analyst Blair Galpin said the appeal process would likely have taken much longer to go through.

“Our view has been that we haven’t put any stock into an appeal process given the length of time they tend to take which is potentially three or more years,” Galpin said.

“So that was the decision the companies had made but it was too far out for us to look at basically. This doesn’t change our position or our view.”

The merger would have seen Sky TV buying Vodafone NZ for $3.44b, funded by a payment of $1.25b in cash and the issue of new Sky TV shares at a price of $5.40 per share.

Vodafone would have become a 51 per cent majority shareholder in Sky TV, in what amounted to a reverse takeover.

With the merger plans officially over, Fellet said going forward Sky TV would continue to add value for its customers through more deals and added content. – NZME

Vodafone chief executive Russell Stanners declined to comment, other than to say he was looking forward to the continuation of the company’s partnership with Sky. The two companies have already been working on a number of joint initiatives including its latest All Black app, offering significant discounts for customers signing up to Sky and Vodafone broadband, and giving away free

Sky Sport to new and existing Vodafone customers for a year.

Fellet said while the company had a good working relationship with Vodafone, it was happy to talk to any other telco, although he said none had shown interest until the proposed merger was announced.

In a statement, rival telco Spark said given the importance of access to premium sports content, which it said was exclusively controlled by Sky, any commercial deal should be made available to Spark and other service providers on equivalent terms.

“We’ve been consistent about the fact that it would be in the interests of New Zealand consumers if Spark and others are able to work with Sky to deliver premium sports content in innovative and exciting ways,” Spark said.

The decision may have been a rational one, however shareholders were quick to react, with Sky TV’s share price falling to an eightyear low.

Its share price was down 4.13 per cent to $3.25 yesterday morning – the lowest the shares have traded at since 2008. Its share price lifted slightly in the afternoon but was still down. Fellet

The Government has settled on a handful of high-level reforms to the Earthquake Commission after what’s been a five-year review process, although it will still be another three years before those changes are expected to be in place.

Finance Minister Steven Joyce and Minister responsible for EQC Gerry Brownlee yesterday announced plans to simplify the Government’s natural disaster insurer, although more work is needed to figure out the details and draft legislation won’t be ready until later this year or early 2018.

At a high level, the ministers have decided to lift the EQC cap for building cover to $150,000, clarify that EQC land cover is for natural disaster damage directly affecting an insured residence or access to it, standardise claims excess on EQC building cover at $1000, ditch EQC’s contents cover, and require EQC claimants to lodge claims with private insurers who will act as the contact point.

“The reforms we are announcing will simplify the relationship between the EQC scheme and private insurance and help provide faster and smoother resolution of claims following a major event,” Brownlee said. “Requiring EQC claimants to lodge claims with their private insurer will help EQC and private insurers work better together in future.”

Two years ago the Government released nine proposals in a discussion document, with the pre-

ferred package including plans for private insurers to largely manage claims, building cover including site work to remove an overlap between land and building cover, doubling the cap on building cover to $200,000 while land cover would apply only where rebuilding is not possible. It also proposed lifting standard building claims excess to $2000 and dropping EQC’s contents coverage.

The review, led by the Treasury, was launched in September, 2012,

to consider the Government’s disaster contingency fund’s future after its resources were exhausted by the Canterbury quakes that caused billions of dollars of damage and killed 185 people.

The Government got a hurryup on the review in 2015, putting out the discussion document five months after global reinsurers publicly grumbled that the delays were making it difficult for them to operate in an uncertain environment.

Niwa forecasts through to August suggest reasonable conditions for eastern Canterbury and with cow condition reasonable, spring calving and feed supply look on track.

Last year’s milk production was down 3 per cent report Fonterra, but this should be recovered in the forecast flows for the coming year.

Synlait have dropped this year’s forecast by 10c, to $6.15, but predict the premiums for special milks should be 14c/kg ms.

Last week’s dairy auction fell for the first time since March but only by 0.8 per cent, although prices for both whole milk powders and cheese fell in excess of 3 per cent.

Milk fats have had a record run as they come back into fashion and butter prices have more than doubled in the past year.

The new Canterbury environment rules, under plan change 5, may limit future cow numbers as they seek to reduce nutrient loadings leaching into the groundwaters on porous soils.

Complex consent applications may apply and concerns have been expressed on how the present intensive irrigation systems may cope with these changes.

Wool The North Island wool auction saw growers reluctantly accepting the new price levels for mainly second shear type wools offered.

Wool brokers have commented that crossbred wool faces real challenges as there appears no price bottom especially for coloured fleece and offerings with high VM readings.

They acknowledge that present prices are below the cost of production but are hopeful that prices can return to the fiveyear average of $3/kg greasy.

The present main drawback to any price recovery they say are high stocks of semi and unprocessed wool being held in China.

The cow kill is reducing rapidly but the present prime recovery is being hindered by the strong US currency.

Silver Fern Farms has driven the beef schedules this week with big winter schedule lifts and Affco reports good demand for its beef exports to China.

South Island local trade pricing for beef is now close to $6/kg, but North Island values lag well behind.

Big data and water Farmers and irrigation industry players will be learning how to mine the mega data they are collecting about their operations at a special workshop in Ashburton tomorrow.

The workshop is about applying digital innovation to irrigation in New Zealand and will be conducted by Microsoft’s Matt Furse, who is based in Australia.

IrrigationNZ business manager Chris Coughlan said the workshop was topical for all irrigators and industry personnel as farmers faced big changes in their businesses.

“Farmers are seeing increasing levels of data output as a consequence of this, so it is about capturing the value but also wider opportunities for schemes, catchments and communities in getting data working for them – not just fulfilling a regulatory requirement,” she said.

Mid Canterbury’s Mayfield Hinds Valetta irrigation scheme is one of the biggest in the country and the Rangitata Diversion Race is viewed as a major piece of plumbing, helping move water around the district.

Irrigation scheme leaders and government departments with an interest in big data and water have also been invited, along with farming industry groups like DairyNZ and the Foundation for Arable Research.

The workshop, to be held at the Hotel Ashburton, will explore what is needed for improved water management and how applying digital innovation could help optimise irrigation, increase productivity and improve environmental outcomes.

On-farm digital tech becoming vital

By Colin WillisCroft

Colin.w@theguardian.Co.nz

Digital technology is becoming increasingly important to farmers and it’s important as many as possible have access to fast broadband, Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy says.

Guy, along with Communications Minister Simon Bridges, was in Mid Canterbury late last week to help launch the refreshed Canterbury Regional Economic Development Strategy.

One of the strategy’s workstreams is digital connectivity, in particular looking at gaps in coverage to see where efforts can

be better focused to promote the uptake and use of digital technology across the region.

As part of the trip Guy was one of a group that visited Methven farmers Craige and Roz Mackenzie, to hear how they utilised digital technology to take their farming business to the next level.

Guy said the Mackenzies were pioneers in this type of farming and were an example to others of what digital technology can help to achieve.

“They have shown the way and are now reaping the benefits of their investment,” he said.

The second stage of the Gov-

ernment’s Rural Broadband Initiative would be rolled out in the next few months, Guy said, which will enable more farmers in the Canterbury area to access faster broadband.

Bridges said the Government wanted to reduce the digital divide between town and country, particularly in Canterbury where the rural community generates much of the region’s prosperity.

“We want to encourage businesses, particularly those in rural areas, to get on board with faster broadband by sharing stories of how it’s making a difference. For example, for farmers, improved

technology helps them gather data to farm smarter – using technology for environmental monitoring, such as effluent and water control.”

It’s a sentiment echoed by Guy. On-farm connectivity is becoming increasingly important, he said, and the costs behind it are coming down at the same time as the technology is improving.

“It means farmers can use less water, while also using fertiliser more efficiently. It’s becoming hugely important to the overall viability of some farming businesses.”

■ FEDERATED FARMERS

Allen back on board with Feds

By Colin WillisCroft

Colin.w@theguardian.Co.nz

Methven farmer Chris Allen is the only Mid Canterbury representative on the board of Federated Farmers after last week’s board elections, held at the federation’s annual meeting in Wellington.

Allen, who was reappointed as a board member at large, said the meeting was very positive overall, with a lot of progress being made across a range of issues.

He said given it is an election year it was good the National, Labour and Green parties were all represented, along with New Zealand First.

Water was a big issue at the conference and Allen, the national board member responsible for water policy, said it was positive to hear that all the parties, including the Greens, acknowledged that problems with water quality were an urban as well as a rural issue, and not confined to farmers.

He was also pleased to hear Labour Leader Andrew Little say the party had abandoned its 2014 election policy to charge a resource rental on farmers and others who use water for a range of purposes, including irrigation.

The board elections, which Allen described as healthy and contested, were significant given they resulted in West Coast dairy farmer Katie Milne being the

Chris Allen first woman elected as president in the federation’s 118-year history.

A previous federation board member and West Coast provincial president, Milne was Dairy Woman of the Year and a Rural Woman of Influence in 2015.

Although there were a few new members elected to the board Allen said there was real strength among those elected, although there would be a bit of learning required for some.

However, given the experience offered by others around the newcomers, he was confident it would perform well.

As to his own responsibilities, which along with water included environment and RMA, electric-

ity, energy, pest management and biodiversity, it would be up to Milne as to what portfolios he would end up with.

He said while there might be a slight shuffle of some of his responsibilities, he was hopeful of keeping water.

Those at the conference realised there was plenty for the federation to do in terms of the environment and how farmers got their message across to others that they could be trusted to look after it.

“Everyone acknowledged the environment is a huge issue and we need to work on our communication. We need to engage with the urban community better.”

SIDE looks at controlling the controllable The country’s biggest annual dairy conference began at Lincoln yesterday with more than 30 practical workshops for farmers to choose from during the threeday event, along with a range of speakers.

South Island Dairy Event 2017 organising committee chairman Steve Booker, who farms at Dorie, said the theme of this year’s conference was controlling the controllable, which was appropriate given the volatile milk prices of recent years.

He said this year’s programme was put together to help farmers focus on all aspects of their business, from questioning costs and feed inputs to farmers asking themselves whether they are running the most financially sustainable systems.

“SIDE is an ideal opportunity for delegates to learn and pick up ideas that they can take back to their own businesses to help improve productivity and profitability. It is also a great opportunity for farmers to network with other

like-minded people, especially at the evening social functions.”

Yesterday’s workshops covered subjects including the potential effects of immigration changes on the dairy industry, reproductive performance and achieving required nitrate leaching reductions, while Megan Hands from Ashburton’s Irrigo Centre discussed preparing for a farm environmental audit.

Today features a double session on resilient production systems and business, planning a pathway through nutrient constraints, recruiting and retaining staff, and practical irrigation, while tomorrow will include workshops on using pasture smarter, health and safety, and the dos and don’ts of sharemilking and equity partnerships.

Mid Canterbury’s Craig Wiggins is master of ceremonies for the event, while speakers include former DairyNZ chairman John Luxton, KPMG lead partner Ian Proudfoot, former sportsmen Richard Loe and Greg Murphy.

More from the repertory society

By Kathleen Stringer

M

y last article on the Ashburton Repertory Society stirred a lot of

interest.

We had several phone calls from people about the photos and now have new names and details to add to archival records.

The entire Repertory Society collection is a treasure trove of names and events.

Although the photographs are entertaining, there are also programmes, reviews, minute books and lists of members.

The first minute book we hold is from July 1934 and they go right up to 1995.

Other interesting items include a seating plan for the Orange Hall, which was the venue for smaller plays, as well being used for some rehearsals.

Programmes are useful to give dates for performances and assist, in some way, with identifying people in photographs.

However, we still have many that are unnamed.

This week I thought that I would share some more images, from earlier shows.

While some of them are named, the Ashburton Museum would still appreciate hearing from people to get first names or other details.

Perhaps the first show the society performed was The Road of Poplars. This is the only image we have of that show and it is unnamed.

The 1970 production of Salad Days shows Ashburton people could really dance.

Left – An unknown cast from an unknown production that includes a cat. Can you add any details?

Below – Some of the earlier images we have are staged. They show the cast in front of static backdrops. This cast is from the well-known Blythe Spirit, which was produced in 1954. The cast featured: Diana Nicoll, Peggy Walker, Sandra Moller, Mai Willers, Dick Wright, Mary MacKay, Dave Batten, Carl Moller, Bill Drummond, Margaret Bonnington, John Cornish, Alan McQuarters, Mrs Miller.

Left – Only one of the 247 images show a goat. This is from an undated production of Heidi.

Below – This detectivelooking show, The Last Hour, was produced in 1940 by New Zealand’s own crime writer Ngaio Marsh.

Honouring the Fallen During the period of the First World War, 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 Ashburton Museum with the assistance of the Rotary Club of Ashburton Plains, 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: June 28: Joseph JOBBERNS

■ INDOOR BOWLS

Brothers make their mark For different reasons, victory in the Ashburton Indoor Bowls Championship Triples on Saturday was a special occasion for the Chapman brothers, Graeme and Neil.

Playing alongside their Willowby clubmate, and current Ashburton golden arm on the mats, Grant Wilson, the Chapman duo achieved several notable milestones in their success.

For Graeme it was his 20th Ashburton title, giving him his fourth gold star.

He achieved his first title 23 years ago, incidentally also in the triples.

Saturday’s win was his eighth in the event, but the first time he has won it in 11 years.

At the other end of the spectrum, brother Neil claimed his first title on Saturday.

Wilson claimed his ninth title with the win and also his third for the season as he continues to dominate on the local floor.

From eight entries at the start of the day, only three made it through the qualifying stages, with John Cuthbertson and Gaylene and Kevin Smith getting the straight passage into the final with the bye.

Wilson’s side squared off against Winston Lee, Maureen Eaden and Helen Rennie in the semi-final and took control of the match early doors with a three on the opening end.

A four, three ends later, all but secured them the win before they rounded out the match to win 10-6.

In the final Wilson’s side again played dominant bowls and with a 9-2 lead after six ends of the nine end final they played out the match to win 10-3 and claim the title.

Tonight will see Southern fighting to keep their spot in Mid Canterbury Netball’s premier competition as they face Rakaia at the EA Networks Centre at 7.30pm.

Southern B will face Ashburton College Y10A in an attempt to keep their spot in the game below, with that game starting at 6.30pm.

The details of Joseph Parker’s next defence of his world heavyweight title have been announced at last – the Kiwi will fight Hughie Fury at Manchester Arena on September 23. “I’m very much looking forward to this fight,” Parker said. “The idea of going to the UK is something I am looking forward to, and no I don’t hold any grudges [about Fury not coming to NZ]. I just go in there and win the fight and defend my title and keep it here.” - NZME

Long wait for recall Cameron King is set to end a 733-day wait for an NRL recall when he answers Parramatta’s hooking crisis in Thursday’s clash against Canterbury. Following season-ending injuries to Kaysa Pritchard (ACL) and Isaac De Gois (concussion), Eels coach Brad Arthur is expected to name King in the No.9 jumper to take on the Bulldogs. It will be the first time King will appear in the NRL since a stint with North Queensland almost exactly two years ago, and his first run-on start since playing for St George in 2013.

Massive birdie gets Spieth home in playoff

Jordan Spieth celebrates with the trophy yesterday.

Berger began the round in third place, three shots back.

He tied Spieth for a lead with a 5-foot birdie putt on 15 as Spieth was making bogey on 14 and tied him again with a birdie from 8 feet at 17.

The pair, playing a group apart, both hit their approach shots on 18 into the same greenside bunker. Both chipped out close to the hole and both saved par to force the playoff.

Berger hit his drive on the first playoff hole left and into the crowd behind a fairway bunker.

Spieth seemed to clip a tree left landing in the fairway but about 150 yards short of his nor-

Big game for Southern

Parker bout confirmed

Right – Neil Chapman, Graeme Chapman and Grant Wilson won the Ashburton Indoor Bowls Championship Triples on the weekend.

Jordan Spieth needed an extra hole, a little bit of luck and an amazing final shot to finish off a wire-to-wire victory in the Travelers Championship.

The two-time major champion holed out from 60 feet for birdie from a greenside bunker on the first hole of a playoff with Daniel Berger yesterday at TPC River Highlands.

The 23-year-old Texan joined Tiger Woods as the only PGA Tour players in the era since World War Two with 10 victories before the age of 24. Woods won 15 times before he turned 24.

“That was one for the ages,” said Spieth, also the winner at Pebble Beach in February.

Spieth held a one-stroke edge after each of the first three rounds.

He closed with an even-par 70 to match Berger — who birdied three of the final six holes for a 67 — at 12-under 268.

Berger, the Memphis winner two weeks ago before missing the cut last week at the US Open, just missed a 50-foot putt from off the 18th green left that would have forced a second playoff hole.

“Jordan does Jordan things,” Berger said.

“So there’s not really much you can say. I’m obviously disappointed, but happy to be in the position I was in today.”

mal drive and 230 yards from the hole.

Spieth’s approach fell into bunker. Berger’s ran off the green to the left.

Spieth had to back up after hitting his bunker shot to see the hole. When the ball rolled straight in the cup he threw his club and did a flying chest bump into caddie Michael Greller.

“If I was in Berger’s shoes, I be cursing Jordan Spieth right now for the break off the tee and then holing a 30-yard bunker shot, that’s a lot of luck,” Spieth said.

Spieth didn’t waste any time extending his lead to three strokes yesterday.

He hit his approach shot to six feet on the first hole and made the birdie putt, then made a 5-footer at No. 2.

But those would be his final two birdies until a 16-footer on the 15th hole.

He also survived a couple of big scares. The first came when his drive on 13 went right but stuck on the side of a hill to stay out of the water. He missed a 7-foot birdie putt, but saved par.

He then hit his tee shot on the 15th left, just avoiding the water and the hazard line in the rough.

He chipped to the middle of the green and made a 16-foot putt for birdie, which he thought he had missed.

His second shot at 17 also looked as if it might hit the course’s signature lake, but landed just on the edge of the green and he made par.

“That’s a lot of luck,” Spieth said. “But I took advantage of the good breaks and am happy to come out on top.”

He’s the third player to go wireto-wire alone in the lead at the Connecticut event.

Gene Littler did it in 1959 and Tim Morris in 1982. Spieth’s only other wire-to-wire win was the 2015 Masters.

Charley Hoffman (66) and New Zealand’s Danny Lee (67) tied for third, three strokes back.

No one could ever accuse Matt Ballin of not giving his all. After 11 seasons, 220 NRL games – including 182 straight at Manly – three grand finals, two premierships, one State of Origin cap for Queensland and 7931 tackles, the tough-asteak hooker retired yesterday. The Wests Tigers announced he was hanging up his boots immediately after succumbing to persistent knee injuries.

Second Brisbane team?

A second NRL team in Brisbane won’t be a guaranteed success, Broncos boss Paul White has warned. There have been renewed calls for another Brisbane-based club to be introduced at the expense of one of the nine Sydney teams after Wests Tigers’ woeful last-round crowd attendance.

Another Brisbane team is expected to boost average NRL crowd attendance up to 20,000 a game and help significantly boost TV rights funding.

Sharks facing crisis They began the NRL season with four hooking prospects, but Cronulla will enter next Saturday’s clash with the Sydney Roosters without a recognised No.9. Jayden Brailey was the last dummy-half to go down for the defending premiers in Sunday’s 35-18 loss to Manly, rushed to hospital with a likely broken jaw. The Sharks are also still waiting on James Segeyaro to return from an arm injury in round 19, while they released former Kiwi squad member Manaia Cherrington to the Warriors earlier this month.

He’ll be followed out the exit door by veteran play-making utility Daniel Mortimer this week. - AAP

■ COLEMAN OUT

In brief

Northern jockey shortage Space won’t be at a premium in northern jockeys’ rooms between now and the end of the season.

Michael Coleman is the latest to join the list of senior riders who are unlikely to be in action again in the current racing season, which concludes at the end of July.

The 47-year-old, who rode his 2000th New Zealand winner when successful aboard August Edition on his home track at Matamata last month, recently underwent successful knee surgery.

“I had some repair work done and I’ll probably take the rest of the season off,” Coleman said.

“That may change, but at this stage I’m not in any hurry to get back.”

Opie Bosson, Craig Grylls, Leith Innes and Jason Waddell are other senior northern jockeys who will be absent until the 2017-18 season.

Bosson hasn’t ridden on the track since he was stood down from riding on Queensland Derby day due to a viral infection and he is now booked to depart at the end of this month on a European holiday, as is Leith Innes.

M3

He copped a 12-day suspension for his ride on Counterattack in the Gr.1 Stradbroke Handicap and that was further compounded by a four-day ban for careless riding at Ruakaka.

Grylls is currently on vacation in Tahiti and on his return he will be taking up a three-month contract in Singapore.

Waddell’s season was prematurely ended by a trackwork fall in April, after which he opted to bring forward surgery to remove a plate and screws which were placed in his leg after a soccer injury suffered more than a year ago.

In other news, Matt Cameron is now on a three-week break while apprentice Rachael Goldsbury has undertaken a three-week riding stint in Queensland.

Other riders who have upcoming overseas ventures are Danielle Johnson, who will participate in an international female jockeys’ series in Sweden next month, and Cameron Lammas.

He has accepted an invitation from Inner Mongolia Rider Horse Industry principal Lang Lin to ride at two meetings there on July 6 and 8.

- NZME

John Bary won’t hesitate to bypass the early domestic spring features with his stable star Miss Wilson. The Hastings trainer is keen on a first-up tilt at Group One honours in the Tarzino Trophy, but Melbourne is a very competitive Plan B. “The first leg of the series here is attractive if the track is okay for her and if she can get in,” Bary said. “If she wasn’t going to get a run, I wouldn’t think twice about heading straight to Melbourne without a race here.”

- NZME

Tip from the saddle

Michael Coleman

Michael Pitman is following the advice of national jockeys’ premiership front-runner Chris Johnson with the consistent performer Flying Ibis. The Riccarton horseman, who operates a successful training partnership with son Matthew, has designs on the Gr.3 eStar Winter Cup with the former North Island galloper.

“I was thinking about easing up on the horse but Chris, who has been riding him, said he would be an ideal Cup type and he has won over a mile at Riccarton before as well,” Pitman said.

■ RUGBY

Ferns on top of the world

By CampBell Burnes The Black Ferns Sevens have done it.

They have finished their World Series season in style in Clermont, clinching their fifth tournament out of six in 2016-17 and showing they are the undisputed queens of sevens since the Rio Olympics.

They needed to defeat Fiji in the Cup quarter-final to seal the championship and duly did so, beating the side that rose to fourth on the final standings 31-7.

Teenager Alena Saili, who showed her worth on day two, scored a brace, one of them coming from a superb offload by her skipper Tyla Nathan-Wong, who was later adjudged player of the final.

Hosts France were repelled 21-7, the highlight being a Ruby Tui kick-pass to set up Michaela Blyde.

That set up a trans-Tasman showdown in the Cup final.

New Zealand seized the initiative from the kickoff when Saili made a long break off the twohanded take.

Less than a minute later Tui was darting in the corner on the blindside.

Though Shannon Parry hit back with a patiently constructed try

for Australia to draw level at 7-7, New Zealand always appeared in control to take their 24th straight victory.

Tui set up Niall Williams and then good ball movement saw Blyde cross for her 40th season series try.

Nice inter-passing saw Shakira Baker cross for their fourth try to seal the victory.

New Zealand thus take back the World Series title from Australia, whom they headed by 16 points and lays a solid foundation for 2017-18, in which they will contest the Commonwealth Games, the World Series and RWC Sevens in San Francisco.

“I’m absolutely stoked.

“The ladies have been outstanding all season,” says Black Ferns Sevens coach Allan Bunting.

Cup quarter-final: New Zealand 31 (Alena Saili 2, Kat Whata-Simpkins, Crystal Mayes, Michaela Blyde tries; Tyla Nathan-Wong 3 con) Fiji 7 HT: 17-0 Cup semi-final: New Zealand 21 (Michaela Blyde, Ruby Tui, Kat Whata tries; Tyla Nathan-Wong 3 con) France 7 HT: 14-0 Cup final: New Zealand 22 (Ruby Tui, Michaela Blyde, Niall Williams, Shakira Baker tries; Tyla Nathan-Wong con) Australia 7 (Shannon Parry try; Chloe Dalton con) HT: 12-7 - NZME

In brief Savea still in frame Much like the All Blacks’ midfield pairing and loose forward trio, it appears coach Steve Hansen’s back-three choice for test matches has become a horses-for-courses proposition. Despite Julian Savea’s near-permanent spot on the All Blacks’ left edge since 2012, he was overlooked for the first test on Saturday. But Hansen has insisted that “The Bus” was nowhere near finished. It was simply a case of needing Ioane’s pace more than Savea’s power on Saturday to combat the Lions’ rapid defensive line speed.

- NZME

Robbie Deans will coach the Barbarians for their landmark meeting with New Zealand at Twickenham Stadium next season. Deans, currently in charge of Japanese champions Panasonic, led Australia from 2008-13 and is the most successful coach in Super Rugby history after winning five titles with the Crusaders. He takes charge of the side for the match for the Killik Cup on November 4 and this will be his fourth spell in charge of the Barbarians. He coached the famous invitation team most recently in 2016 when they drew 31-31 with South Africa at Wembley. - NZME

ABs ok, says Henshaw Tyla Nathan-Wong led the Black Ferns to an impressive victory.

Luna Rossa lining up to challenge for the Cup

Oracle and Team New Zealand battle it out on the water in Monday morning’s racing.

PHOTO AP America’s Cup match in Auckland.

In the last event in San Francisco that relationship was strengthened to include the sharing of design information.

But Bertelli withdrew from the current edition in protest after Oracle made sweeping changes to the format and design rules a year after the original protocol was released under the banner of cost-cutting measures.

Deans to coach Baabaas

■ AMERICA’S CUP

Luna Rossa boss Patrizio Bertelli was on board Team New Zealand’s chase boat On Sunday, giving the strongest indication yet the Italian team are first in line to be challenger of record if the Kiwi syndicate take out the America’s Cup in the coming days.

Bertelli, who heads the luxury fashion house Prada, flew into Bermuda on Sunday.

He was on hand to see Emirates Team New Zealand record two more dominant wins over Oracle Team USA and move to match point in the first-to-seven series.

Team NZ principal Matteo de Nora, who hosted Bertelli on his chase boat, would not be drawn on whether Luna Rossa will be the challenger of record.

“Firstly, we have not won anything yet – that is important to remember,” de Nora said.

“We had some very important people on board today, but all the people who have gone against the tide and supported us are very important to us.

“For the past three years everyone has been against us, so we are very grateful to all those who have helped us and supported us when others wanted us gone.”

De Nora said any official challenge had to be lodged with the commodore of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, Steve Mair.

The Italian syndicate have had a close relationship with Team NZ, dating back to the 2000

Ashburton Guardian

Bertelli has continued to support the New Zealand team, lending them their prototype test boat the Italians had been developing before the rule changes.

Luna Rossa personnel have also been key figures in the Team NZ design and sailing support staff, including skipper Max Sirena, who is one of the team’s technical advisors.

The on-going relationship has helped boost Team NZ’s limited

resources, but also kept the Italians abreast of the rapid developments in the ever-changing technology race.

Alinghi boss Ernesto Bertarelli, who took the Cup away from New Zealand back in 2003, has also been spotted at the New Zealand base over the past week.

It is rumoured the Swiss pharmaceutical billionaire, who has not been involved with the event since losing the Cup to Larry Ellison in a Deed of Gift challenge, has offered financial assistance to the Team NZ campaign over this cycle.

British team Ben Ainslie Racing is understood to have also expressed an interest in being challenger of record.

Meanwhile, Team New Zealand merchandise sales are through the roof as Kiwis jump on the America’s Cup bandwagon.

Team NZ are one win away from bringing the Auld Mug back to these shores – and their success has caused a huge jump in the sales of branded supporters’ gear.

Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron spokesman Andrew Delves said there has been a “massive spike” in Team NZ merchandise sales.

“We have restocked three times and sold out of everything.

“Even our supplier has nothing left.”

Rebel Sport boss Rod Duke said their Team New Zealand stock was “goneburger”.

Robbie Henshaw knows what’s like to be hit with a dose of All Black physicality – he was left concussed by an accidental high tackle by Sam Cane when playing for Ireland in Dublin last year. But the British and Irish Lions midfielder doesn’t believe they cross the line. While the All Blacks attempted to put a lot of pressure on halfback Conor Murray at Eden Park, Henshaw wasn’t following coach Warren Gatland’s line about some of Hansen’s players setting out to hurt Murray. “I think physicality is one of the main components of rugby and everyone will use it in abundance. I don’t think they take it too far.”

- NZME

Three tries needed Former Lions coach Sir Ian McGeechan believes the Lions will have to score more tries to beat the All Blacks. “I think the Lions are going to have to score three tries, which is why I think they’ve go to keep the attackers ... I think defensively they could keep the All Blacks to two tries, I think defensively they’re very good, they work really hard. And just with one or two tweaks, it could very easily be a five point test match either way,” McGeechan said.

- NZME

No panic in the camp Taulupe Faletau insists the Lions will not panic in the wake of the 30-15 defeat by the All Blacks and said the tourists believe they can still win the three-test series.

The Lions squad travelled to Wellington on Sunday to begin preparations for their final midweek game against the Hurricanes tonight, with coach Warren Gatland confident he can lift his players ahead of Saturday’s do-or-die second test. While Faletau admitted the All Blacks “capitalised on our errors better than we did on theirs” the Wales No 8 said the squad still believed they would win the series. - NZME

TODAY’S GOALS: Good – 8 Excellent – 13 Amazing – 16

Previous solution: JOURNALS

9 11

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): A search is on to fill a slot in your life. You’re not interested in finding the perfect person for the job, especially since you’ve a better probability of finding Big Foot.

What you want is a good fit.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): The interaction has ups and downs, but overall you enjoy what’s going on between you and a certain unpredictable someone. You’ve a few inside jokes, and you’ll get some more out of today’s zaniness.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): As the right-hand man to your own spirit, you’ll need to call out some orders. Break your chains; revolt against your own bullying thoughts; flee the limited idea of what you’re capable of.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Physical hygiene isn’t the only kind that makes an impression in the physical realm. Mental and emotional hygiene are just as (if not more) important. People will sense those first, anyway.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’re curious about how you can become more powerful in your own life by having more means at your disposal. This is, of course, not the only route to influence. In regards to power, love really conquers all.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’ve a potent charm, and there will be those afraid to get mixed up with it. They are right to be wary, of course.

That which has the potential to affect people should be wielded with the utmost care.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’re spiritually ambitious.

Reinvention is the heartbeat of your day.

There’s great effort that goes into constant renewal, but it’s like anything. The more you do it, the better you get at it.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): A huge part of parenting in the modern world is taking your children where they need to be when they need to be there, and self-parenting is no difference.

Show self-love by getting there on time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You inoculate yourself against the virus of egoism by being in service to those around you. To keep your ego in constant check is to remain connected to the energy of the world.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): There’s something so expedient and attractive about your usual decisiveness, though today will call for a different approach. Before you take a position, live in the question a while longer.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Attaining your heart’s desire will require payment other than money.

Pull together the best gifts you have to offer the others for what you want in return.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): If you try to use them as your main navigation, logic and ego will steer you wrong; let intuition guide you instead toward what your soul needs (which will be different from what your family wants from you).

RIcciardo wins chaotic F1 Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo profited from the chaos to win the Azerbaijan Grand Prix yesterday, while Sebastian Vettel extended his championship lead over Lewis Hamilton. The Australian secured his fifth career win, while Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas overtook 18-year-old Canadian Lance Stroll’s Williams in the closing metres to take second place. “It was just a crazy race, with all the safety cars and the chaos,” Ricciardo said. “On the cooldown lap, I was just giggling like a schoolboy.” Vettel steered his Ferrari into fourth, just ahead of Hamilton.

Another tough one for Lions The Hurricanes welcome back three current All Blacks as they seek to heap more misery on the Lions midweekers tonight.

Jordie Barrett, Ngani Laumape and Julian Savea have, despite two key All Blacks backline injuries, been released to their franchise as they seek to emulate the Blues and Highlanders in defeating the tourists.

That means the Super Rugby defending champions, other than the absence of the 8-9-10 combination of Ardie Savea, TJ Perenara and Beauden Barrett, will be close to full strength.

There must be a very real possibility, given the quality of the Hurricanes lineup, that the Lions will not now win another game on tour, though Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd expect-

ed stern opposition tonight.

“I haven’t had any discussion with Steve [Hansen] about [the release of players] at all,” Boyd said.

“Through the formal and normal channels, we inquired around who might potentially be available from the All Blacks.

“The four included were flagged about a week ago that they might be included.

“With the injuries from the test, I was fearing that a couple of those might be held back. But we received a text last night to say they had been released ... we have shuffled the deck accordingly.”

The four includes Vaea Fifita, who debuted against Manu Samoa on June 16. He is named at blindside flanker.

Cory Jane “We had always intended to name our strongest side possible out of due respect for the game, so to have those guys

come back is great,” said Boyd.

Cory Jane will come off the bench, as he did for the 2005 Wellington Lions against the touring Lions, a game in which Chris Boyd and John Plumtree were coaching, as they were in 2009 for the Sharks against the Lions in Durban.

Reserve halfback Kemara Hauiti-Parapara will probably make his Hurricanes debut before he plays for Wellington, having arrived back in the country a few days ago after a successful campaign – albeit as back-up No 9 – for the New Zealand Under 20s team in Georgia.

No less than seven of the 23 were involved in the Maori All Blacks’ match against the Lions, so will be keen to reverse that result.

Hansen hits the airwaves to attack Gatland All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has reacted angrily to Warren Gatland’s demand that referees clamp down on New Zealand’s targeting of British and Irish Lions halfback Conor Murray by phoning a radio station to call his counterpart “desperate”.

Hansen called Radio Sport directly to answer Lions coach Gatland’s call for greater protection of Murray. Gatland was frustrated by what he felt were deliberate tactics from the All Blacks, claiming they were diving “blindly” at Murray’s standing leg whenever

he launched a box kick in Saturday’s 30-15 defeat.

“It’s predictable comments from Gatland, isn’t it?” Hansen said.

“Two weeks ago, it was we cheated in the scrums, last week it was blocking. It’s really dis-

appointing to hear it, because what he’s implying is that we’re going out there to intentionally injure somebody and that’s not the case. “We’ve never been like that and as a New Zealander I’d expect him to know the Kiwi psyche.”

Dixon takes IndyCar New Zealander Scott Dixon has won the IndyCar race at Road America, with defending champion Will Power finishing fifth on the rural road course in Wisconsin. Dixon edged Josef Newgarden by 0.57 seconds to claim his first victory at Road America while Power was 5.72sec behind the Kiwi. It also gave the Chip Ganassi Racing veteran his first win since Watkins Glen in September. Dixon’s 41st career victory moved him within one of tying Michael Andretti for third on the all-time list.

Rossi victor at Assen Valentino Rossi held off Danilo Petrucci to win the TT Assen MotoGP race Monday as championship leader Maverick Vinales crashed out and slipped to second in the standings.

It was Yamaha rider Rossi’s 10th grand prix victory on the track in the northern Netherlands and his first win of the MotoGP season. Marc Marquez of Spain finished third. “This place is always special,” Rossi said.

“I am so happy for me, for my team, because I’m back on the first place after one year, more or less.”
