Rodeo crowds impress

BY RUBY HARFIELD

RUBY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Methven on rodeo weekend historically becomes a town full of alcohol-fuelled revellers keen on having a good night.

But this year has been different.

The Methven Rodeo was held at the Methven Showgrounds on Sunday and saw thousands of people come to the area from all over the country.

Constable Aaron Tapp, of Meth-

ven, said police had extra staff from Ashburton and Christchurch in town due to the sheer number of people who came to party after the event and to monitor behaviour and alcohol-related offending.

However, Mr Tapp said that from what he understood there were no major incidents on Sunday evening and he was not aware of any arrests.

lishments were also positive, with some saying the partygoers had been better than other years.

“The crowd was well behaved afterwards,” he said.

“It’s a good thing for police and the community.”

In previous years Methven accommodation facilities have had to repair broken windows, clean up soiled rooms and shut down parties.

pleased with the demeanor of the public at the rodeo itself.

More than 6000 attended, but police only spoke to a few people in relation to their behaviour, he said.

“We were happy with the crowd.”

The security was very good this year, which also helped, and noone was arrested or barred.

Over the past few years, since security became involved, the

crowds had behaved well, Mr Tapp said. “It’s more of a family atmosphere.”

There would always be people whose behaviour warranted a word from police, but most years a few would also be ejected from the event.

Rodeo president Tom Plunkett said he was pleased with the crowd and the whole event was a success with more than 330 entries.

NZ’s Bird of the Year The bar-tailed godwit has been crowned New Zealand’s Bird of the Year after three weeks of close competition, heated campaigning and scandal. The long-distance fliers, also known as kuaka, took the title after voting for the annual competition closed Sunday night. The kokako came a close second, followed by the kaka. Bar-tailed godwits have the longest migratory flight of any bird in the world and travel more than 11,000km from Alaska to reach New Zealand in less than nine days. The birds, described as “lunatic” by Forest & Bird, which runs the Bird of the Year competition, begin arriving in New Zealand from late September in numbers reaching between 80,000 to 100,000.

Really Australia?

Do the Wallabies have an All Blacks complex? Having just cleared the way for an epic trans-Tasman showdown next weekend after a 29-15 semi-final victory over Argentina, the Wallabies posted on their official Facebook page: “We’re off to our first Rugby World Cup final since 2003, and our first EVER against the All Blacks.” Curiously, an hour later the post was edited, with “the All Blacks” replaced with “New Zealand”. Whether this was an attempt to deflate the image of the defending world champions remains unclear. In the 2005 British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand, Sir Clive Woodward ordered his players never to refer to the New Zealand side as the All Blacks, in an attempt to demystify the team.

Bieber the big winner at MTV EMAs Singer Justin Bieber has won the first big award of the night, Best Male, at the 2015 MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) in Milan.

Accepting his award, Bieber said: “Wow, thank you. It’s been a long couple of years, um, I just feel like this is pretty awesome to be recognised for my music. I just want to say thank you to all of my fans, you guys are really incredible. I want to thank you mom and my dad, and God, and everyone who helped me get to this place. I love you, thank you.” Singers Mackelmore & Ryan Lewis opened the show with a sizzling performance, which saw one of them suspended from the roof singing in front of a picture of a moon. Host Ed Sheeran told the crowd: “I’m very excited to be here, Italy is one of my favourite countries.. it’s nice to be hosting a show here.” He was joined on stage by his co-host, model and Orange Is The New Black actress, Ruby Rose. The second performance of the night was Jason Derulo, performing his hit Want To Want Me. Speaking before the show had promised a high energy, futuristic show with a “shock” in the middle of it. The evening promises an intriguing battle between Taylor Swift, who has nine nominations, and Bieber who has six nods.

Adele ends estrangement with dad Singer Adele has reportedly ended her estrangement from her father – the man she vowed to spit at if she ever saw him in the street. Marc Evans reconciled with his famous daughter while she was writing songs for her comeback album, 25, reports British newspaper The Sun. The father and daughter fell out in 2012 when Evans told the media the singer was struggling to find love because he abandoned her and her mother. But the 53-year-old insists the remarks he made were misconstrued and now he and his daughter are back on speaking terms. “We’ve patched things up, everything’s fine,” he told The Sun. The reconciliation comes as Evans is battling bowel cancer. A spokesperson for Adele has declined to comment. Adele made a sensational return to the spotlight at the weekend with the release of her emotionallycharged new video for her single Hello. The Oscarwinning artist also confirmed her much-anticipated third album, the follow-up to her mega successful 21, would be called 25, to be released next month.

■ LAKE HOOD

Hundreds turn out to enjoy the lake, sun Hundreds of boaters, jet-skiers, picnickers and swimmers gathered on the shores of Lake Hood for a stunner of a day yesterday.

Traditionally Labour weekend marked the start of the summer boating season and people from all over the district made the most of it.

Rolleston resident Melanie Andland enjoyed a day on the lake with her family yesterday.

“It’s been an amazing day for it.”

Lake Hood is brilliant because it is safe for children and a good spot to boat, she said.

Nicky Thomson, of Christchurch and Anne-Marie McRae, of Timaru, met at the lake for the day with their families.

Mrs Thomson said this was the third time they had taken their boat to Lake Hood and they loved it because it was so family-friendly.

■ LABOUR WEEKEND ROAD TOLL

‘Disappointing’ weekend The holiday weekend road toll has climbed to five after a man whose motorcycle slammed into the side of a car died despite desperate efforts to save him.

The latest fatal crash happened on a 70km/h stretch of Happy Valley Road in Wellington about 11am yesterday.

A doctor who had been playing mini golf at nearby Carlucci Land rushed to try to save the motorcyclist, eventually pushing a length of tube down his throat to clear his airways.

However, the man later died in hospital.

The death came as the country’s top road cop yesterday pleaded for drivers to put a cap on the already “disappointing” Labour Weekend road toll.

“We don’t want anyone else to die,” national road policing manager Superintendent Steve

Greally said. The death brought the toll up to five – two higher than last year’s Labour weekend toll.

The motorcyclist’s death comes after two fatal crashes in Southland yesterday morning.

In the first incident, an Australian woman was knocked down and killed while walking on State Highway 1 near Bluff about 1am.

The death was being treated as a homicide investigation until foul play could be ruled out, police said.

Later, a woman’s charcoal-coloured Nissan two-door car tore through three sets of traffic lights before ploughing into the Farmers store at the corner of Yarrow St and Dee St in Invercargill about 7.15am.

Officers were investigating whether she suffered a medical event prior to the crash.

In brief Emergency airlift A Dorie toddler was airlifted to hospital with minor injuries after putting a cleaning substance in her mouth yesterday. Emergency services were called to a dairy shed at a Dorie farm at 12.34pm after a 20-month-old girl put a chemical cleaning substance in her mouth. Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade deputy chief fire officer Tyrone Burrowes said the girl was transported to Christchurch Hospital by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter. She received minor chemical burns around her mouth and was taken to hospital as a precaution, he said. A Canterbury District Health Board spokeswoman said the girl was in a stable condition.

trucks on SH29 in Waikato about 2.30am.

Later that morning, a 21-yearold Puketutu man was killed when the motorbike he was riding crashed at the intersection of Hutchinson and MorrinsvilleWalton roads about 6am.

Mr Greally said the two Southland deaths would not count towards the road toll if foul play or a medical event were found to be the causes.

The 2015 road toll already exceeds last year’s by at least 29, with the number of deaths on New Zealand’s roads sitting at around 233.

Mr Greally said the weekend road toll was “disappointing”.

“It will take a little time until we can understand exactly what’s occurred, but suffice to say it’s tragic that we’ve had ... people lose their lives.

Despite the deaths, Mr Greally said “by and large” motorists

were observing the rules this Labour weekend.

“I think the behaviours, by and large, are actually not too bad, which is a good thing.”

However, Mr Greally warned that “a lot of people” would be travelling back home on the country’s main arterial routes.

Locally, traffic was particularly busy around Ashburton but drivers tended to stick to the rules, police say.

Constable Aaron Tapp, of Methven, said Highway Patrol were out in force and had fined a few people but said that drivers were well behaved.

“It’s actually been a pretty good weekend.”

He had done a few trips around the district’s highways and although the volume of traffic was high, people were driving well.

They were also keeping within the speed limits, he said.

An anonymous bomb threat at Mt Eden prison saw police clear public areas around the facility yesterday. Police said the “anonymous, non-specific” bomb threat was received about 10am. A precautionary search was conducted and inquiries would be made into the source of the call, police said. It was a nonvisiting day for the prison and there was no disruption to the public or operation of the prison due to the scare. Further details about the call would form part of an investigation and no further information would be released, police said.

Body identified The body of a man recovered from the Waikato River at Huntly over the weekend has been identified by police. He was Stephen Marc Tobin, 34, from Waihi. Mr Tobin’s body was pulled from the river after police were called at around 12.30pm on Saturday following calls from members of the public who had been boating on the river, police said. Detective Senior Sergeant Daryl Smith of the Hamilton CIB said yesterday police wished to express their condolences to the Tobin family.

Police were still working to establish the circumstances of how Mr Tobin came to be in the river, Mr Smith said. Mr Tobin’s death has been reported to the coroner.

■ ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

A&P show – got to Lovett

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Rumour has it Lynette Lovett’s honeymoon was cut short to accommodate her late husband Rod’s commitments at the Ashburton A&P Show in 1975. And she’s been involved in one way or another ever since.

This year, her second as president, marks her 40th year of association with the show.

“I started out helping as a steward in the sheep section, in 1990 I came into the home industries as a steward and a supervisor in the cooking section, then I was a convener in home industries for nine years – that was a mission and a half,” she said.

Mrs Lovett gave up that position when her husband’s health deteriorated, but continued helping out with the show where she could.

Four years ago she was back in a leadership role, first in a twoyear stint as junior vice-president before taking up the president’s mantle in 2014.

She concedes it’s a lot of work but her involvement with the “show family” has also been the highlight of her long term com-

Ashburton A&P Show Association president Lynette Lovett, accompanied by junior president Chris Watson leads the grand parade at last year’s show.

PHOTO 011114-JJ-003 mitment. And it’s this family she believes is the strength behind a show which continues to prosper in an age where other A&P associations are struggling.

“There’s a lot of camaraderie within the committee – it’s amaz-

ing how people come together and pull off the show year after year,” Mrs Lovett said.

“We’ve also had great support from past presidents.”

But it’s also been a family affair within the Lovett clan with son

Phillip also on the committee.

That said, she points out the committee members are getting on in years and fresh blood will be needed if the show is to keep going into the future.

“The strength of the commit-

tee keeps the show going, and we need more young people on board,” she said. The backing of the community is also vital to staging a successful show.

“We are lucky to be in the centre of a big agricultural district, and to have the support of the local businesses.”

Year after year the public flock to the show in droves. It is established as an event where town meets country, where people take time out of busy lives to catch up.

Timing also plays a part, especially in the equestrian world, with many people using Ashburton as a springboard to size up the competition a week out from the Christchurch A&P Show.

“We have really strong entries in the horse section because points can be earned toward the Horse of the Year competition.”

Although she will hand over the presidential reins to Chris Watson Mrs Lovett has no plans to abandon her “show family”, instead she is considering the entertainment stage as her next project.

“If you’ve been brought up in a family that volunteers it’s in the blood, that’s why we see whole families involved.”

■ FV JUBILEE

In brief Dead man identified Police have identified the 64-yearold man who was found dead in a Christchurch house on Sunday – but will not release his name until his family has been informed.

Canterbury police said yesterday the investigation into his death was continuing. The man was found at a residential address in Linwood shortly before noon on Sunday. His death was being treated as suspicious. A postmortem examination has been conducted but police would not comment on the results of the examination. Detective Inspector Tony Hill said the man had been identified but his next-of-kin were still being located to be informed.

Lucky escape A 51-year-old man has escaped serious injury after his car crashed on State Highway 1, north of Maroa Rd, Oruanui. Emergency services were called to a single vehicle crash between Rotorua and Taupo about 10.35am yesterday. Inspector John Fraser of the Police Northern Communications Centre said the car had left the road, trapping the sole occupant inside. A police officer at the scene said the man was heading south along the road when his car crashed into some vegetation, flipping onto its side.

The man suffered minor injuries and was transported by road ambulance to Taupo Hospital.

MFat supports family The family of a man who died after falling ill on his way to the All Blacks’ semi-final match on Sunday are being supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. It is understood the man in his 60s, from Manawatu, collapsed on a tour bus operated by Williment Sports Travel just before arriving at Twickenham Stadium in London. The company has refused to comment. The man had a “turn” on the bus before arriving for the game, a member of the tour group said. A nurse was on board and called an ambulance while the 40 tour members were taken to the match in smaller buses, he said.

About 15 minutes into the match, the tour members received a text saying the man had died.

Navy divers join search Navy divers have joined the operation to recover a body from the wreckage of FV Jubilee.

The fishing boat was found sunk off the Canterbury coast after sending out a distress signal in a brutal storm on October 18.

The boat’s three crew – fishermen Jared Reese Husband, 47, of Timaru, Paul Russell Bennett, 35, of Motueka, and Terry Donald Booth, 55, of Nelson – are presumed dead.

Police on Sunday said its divers and a remote-operated vehicle found a body inside the wreckage.

Yesterday, divers from the Royal New Zealand Navy’s operational diving team (ODT) joined

“

The focus of the recovery phase is to locate and return the missing crew to their loved ones

the recovery operation.

Sergeant Phil Simmonds said the navy divers, operating from the HMNZS Manawanui, completed their build-up dives on Sunday.

“The diving support vessel HMNZS Manawanui left Akaroa for the wreck of the FV Jubilee this morning with 24 crew, nine ODT members and two mem-

bers of the NZ police dive squad on board,” he said.

“The intention is for members of the ODT to conduct a search inside the wreck, which is located at a depth of around 40m, and recover what is believed to be the body of a man seen during Sunday’s underwater search.”

Mr Simmonds said an update on yesterday’s search would not

be made until today, due to the remote location of the dive site.

“Police are in close contact with the next of kin of the missing crew,” he said.

“The focus of the recovery phase is, if possible, to locate and return the missing crew to their loved ones.

“This is an extremely distressing time for everyone involved and police and the Royal New Zealand Navy extend their thoughts and prayers to the families, friends and colleagues of the missing crew.”

Police and Transport Accident Investigation Commission inquiries into the sinking are ongoing.

- NZME

Ambulance transfers Between three and 12 patients a day are transferred by ambulance to Christchurch Hospital from Ashburton, Timaru and Greymouth.

The Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) confirmed these numbers at last month’s board meeting.

To help with the volume and to also improve communication between hospitals the CDHB has implemented a new role, the Patient Road Transport Co-ordinator (PRTC).

The aim of this job is to centralise all non-acute ambulance transfers during normal working hours.

The board said improved communication between Ashburton ambulance drivers and the PRTC has enabled quicker turnarounds and easier access to support services, such as orderlies.

Patients who do not require an ambulance are now able to be transported via a shuttle, such as the Ashburton Health Shuttle or taxi.

The board said not only are these forms of transport more convenient, but also less expensive.

■ THE PLAINS VINTAGE RAILWAY AND HISTORICAL MUSEUM

In brief

Visitors busy getting steamed up at The Plains Hundreds of people from all over the district made their way to The Plains Vintage Railway and Historical Museum in Tinwald over the weekend.

The Plains Railway held two open days with more than 150 experiencing the facility on Sunday and more than 200 on Monday.

President Darryl Nelson said Monday was particularly great because of the nice weather and everyone was out enjoying themselves.

The crowds mainly consisted of families who had travelled here from out of town, he said.

Among the locomotives available to ride were the 1873 A64 and the 1877 K88.

■ SOLDIERS HOSPITALISED

Penalties possible Eight soldiers hospitalised after taking a mystery drug – believed to be the illicit “N Bomb” – may face fines, jail time or being kicked out of the army.

Police said they were called to a group of eight men suffering effects from an “unknown substance” at 3.40am on Sunday.

The incident has sparked a Defence Force investigation, which has a strict “no-tolerance” drug policy, and there is a possibility charges will be laid by the police.

Authorities would not reveal what the substance was, but a source said it was thought to be “N-Bomb” - an illegal synthetic drug which left a Christchurch man in a critical condition earlier this month.

Police said the men were origi-

Witnesses said officers arrived at the Mt Albert Superette around 7pm and had taped it off, sparking concerns of a robbery. Shopkeeper Buchireddy Bommineni confirmed a man had died, however it was believed to be a medical incident.

He said the man and his friend had come to buy goods from the store, and the man had collapsed outside and was unable to be revived.

The store was closed while police completed their investigation, Mr Bommineni said.

It is understood the men were stationed at Linton Military Camp.

A New Zealand Defence Force spokeswoman said yesterday the organisation has a “strict no-tolerance policy” around the misuse of drugs.

“NZDF holds its personnel to a high standard of behaviour. Any drug-related incident is fully investigated and appropriate action taken,” she said.

Several soldiers were taken into custody by police on Sunday and an investigation was now under way, she said.

“Any charges laid before the courts will be at the discretion of

the New Zealand Police.”

No further comment will be made by the NZDF as the investigation is ongoing, she said.

In the past, soldiers found to be using illicit drugs have faced disciplinary action including fines, jail sentences or dismissal.

Six New Zealand soldiers allegedly using hashish - a potent form of cannabis - were sent home from Afghanistan in disgrace in 2008.

Another three Kiwi soldiers were sentenced to 28 days in military prison at Burnham Military Camp, near Christchurch, after using Penthrox - a controlled morphine-type painkiller that is inhaled.

Police have refused to comment further on the incident, including whether charges will be laid.

A tall tale of tails It’s the curly tale that’s baffled Labour weekend travellers all the way from Auckland to Dargaville.

How did thousands of possum tails end up littering State Highway 1?

Residents of West Auckland, Rodney and beyond have taken to Facebook to post pictures of the tails, which Rodney Local Board member Phelan Pirrie noticed as frequently as every few hundred metres while driving back from Parakai on Sunday.

“I thought that’s odd, they must be dead rats or something ... but it wasn’t until I saw on Facebook later that they were possum tails.”

Mr Pirrie said there was a “huge number” of the apparently fresh, bushy, possum tails, but so far local authorities had been unable to shed any light on the mystery.

“The other strange thing is they appear to have been seen not just on the main road, but also on some of the side roads.

“Someone mentioned they’d contacted police about it, but I’m not sure what they would do – they’ve probably got better things to do.”

Waitakere Ranges Local Board member Neil Henderson said it was also unclear which direction the vehicle they supposedly dropped off had been travelling.

“It’s just one of those absolutely bizarre mysteries that’s more suited to April 1st than anything else.”

A nip in the air could welcome holidaymakers back to the daily grind this week after settled weather over the long weekend.

Forecasters say a cold front will bring slightly colder temperatures, rain and wind to the South Island today before making a beeline up the country, reaching the North Island by Thursday. Showers and possible thunderstorms were expected over inland parts of the North Island and snow was on the cards for the high country in Canterbury and Otago. But the weather should clear again in time for the weekend, MetService meteorologist Stephen Glassey said.

“It’s a bit of a cold snap ... It will bring rain to most of the country but it moves away to the east on Friday,” Mr Glassey said.

Check those boats Blue skies and settled weather enticed boaties onto the water yesterday – with a few running into hot water over mechanical failures.

After an extremely quiet weekend, Coastguard volunteers had to help up to 10 vessels in the northern region just yesterday morning.

Coastguard spokeswoman Georgie Smith said stunning weather enticed many people into taking their boats out for the first time since before winter. “All of the incidents have been mechanical and so this is sort of typical of Labour Weekend, where people have taken their boat out for the first time after it has sat around all winter and they haven’t checked the batteries, had the engines serviced or replaced the fuel in the vessel.”

■ AFGHANISTAN

Warning on IS, al-Qaeda Al-Qaeda has re-established a presence in Afghanistan and the Islamic State group has become a serious threat, the Afghan national security adviser warned, saying the country was in danger of again becoming a safe haven for terrorists and calling for US and Nato military backing to help drive them out.

The warning by Mohammad Hanif Atmar follows the announcement earlier this month

by President Barack Obama that the US would keep 9800 troops in Afghanistan through most of next year, casting aside a pledge to withdraw most US forces before leaving office. Obama cited the fragile security situation in the face of a resurgent Taliban.

Atmar said al-Qaeda, the Taliban, the Islamic State group and other insurgents, including the brutal Haqqani network, which has ties to the Taliban, “are morphing”.

“They have not been degraded, they have regenerated themselves,” he said.

Atmar warned the insurgent groups are reinventing themselves, joining forces, and drawing funds and support from outside as they take advantage of a

Afghan National Security Adviser Mohammad Hanif Atmar believes Afghanistan is in danger of once again becoming a safe haven for terrorists wanting to carry out attacks like the September 11, 2001 atrocity.

PHOTO AP perceived weakness of Afghan forces following the end of the US-led international combat mission last year.

Highlighting Afghanistan’s need for continued support from the US and NATO, the Taliban overran the key northern city of Kunduz on September 28 — their first seizure of a major urban area since being toppled in 2001 by the US invasion — before being

driven out over a period of two weeks. The Taliban then threatened cities in different corners of the country, including Lashkar Gah, capital of southern Helmand province, and Maymana, capital of northwestern Faryab.

This has provided fertile ground for insurgent groups to move into Afghanistan from other countries, particularly Pakistan, where a military campaign

to eliminate their safe havens from the tribal areas of North Waziristan has pushed militants into Afghanistan.

Atmar said several groups are now using Afghanistan as a staging ground to reach their “home countries,” including China, Uzbekistan and other Central Asian states, and Russia.

“What needs to be well understood is that the symbiotic network of terrorists that we are confronted with is going to be a threat to every country in this region and by extension the whole world,” Atmar said.

“We are hoping that assessment is shared not just by Central Asia, Russia and China, but by our neighbours to the south and east,” he said, referring principally to Pakistan.

Al-Qaeda has made a return to Afghanistan since the drawdown of US and Nato troops began picking up steam from 2011 to 2013, Atmar said.

He said the Islamic State group now poses an “existential threat” because it no longer includes only disaffected Taliban, but has an “institutional connection” to the group’s leadership in Iraq and Syria.

In brief Whale vessel sinks Five people died after a whale watching boat with 27 people on board sank off Vancouver Island yesterday and one person remained missing, Canadian authorities said. The vessel made a Mayday call on what was a calm, clear and sunny day off the tourist community of Tofino, a popular destination for whale watchers on Canada’s West Coast, the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre said. Lt.-Cmdr Desmond James, a spokesman for the rescue agency said the agency’s search concluded with five people dead, 21 rescued and one person missing.

Murder charges A woman faces second-degree murder charges after authorities said she ploughed a car into the crowd at an Oklahoma State University homecoming parade, killing four people, including a toddler. Adacia Chambers, a 25-year-old resident of the college town, was arrested after the crash on a driving while under the influence charge, and Stillwater police said she was being held on four additional counts of seconddegree murder. Police did not elaborate on the new charges in a statement announcing them, and a spokesman did not return repeated messages seeking comment.

OUR VIEW

The long, slow slog through Ashburton Sue Newman

ACTING EDITOR

I

f ever there was absolute confirmation that Ashburton needs a second bridge across the Ashburton River, it comes at a holiday weekend.

Locals trying to access State Highway One through Ashburton on Friday or Monday afternoon, in fact most of the weekend would have found themselves in long queues waiting, waiting and waiting. It was an exercise in patience.

For long periods cars were banked up from the Tinwald saleyards through to Ashburton Racecourse. A trip that would normally take about five minutes from one end of town to the other took 30 minutes or more.

And the New Zealand Transport Agency tells us that a second bridge across the Ashburton River is a bridge that’s needed for local traffic only?

Ask virtually any of the motorists caught up in the multiple logjams over the long weekend what they thought and they’d tell you they were out of towners either trying to get to a holiday spot or trying to get home.

The NZTA has signed off the second bridge, but have ranked it for ‘local traffic’. And that, of course, means the agency does not have to part out as much cash for its construction. The bill must be footed by the ratepayer.

The Ashburton District Council has pushed for a second bridge to be a NZTA responsibility but it got absolutely nowhere.

It then did the only thing it could do, it pushed ahead with a land designation against the day when that bridge would be needed.

And crossed its fingers that funding rules would change.

If there’s any doubt about who needs the second bridge, check out Ashburton next time there’s a long weekend.

Pull up a chair along the highway through town and take a close look at the snail’s pace of vehicle movement.

As ratepayers, we should not be footing the bill for a new bridge that makes it easier for the rest of the country to zip through town on their way to another destination. Yes, local traffic will use the second bridge for convenience and that will leave national traffic to have a fast run through town at our expense.

We pay the bill and the rest of New Zealand benefits.

of the ‘dismissal’ of (interim) President Michel Kafando and the attempt of substituting him with ‘new authorities’ as null and void,” said the AU chairperson, South Africa’s Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma The regional organisation, the Economic Community for West African States (Ecowas), took a softer line, putting together a mediation team and offering the coup leaders amnesty despite the killings. But when civil society groups in Burkina Faso protested at the amnesty offer, the Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari, took the lead for West Africa.

Buhari, who was a military dictator 30 years ago, coming to power in one coup and losing it in another, now describes himself as a “converted democrat”.

He called Diendere’s coup a “brazen contravention” of Burkina Faso’s constitution and demanded that he withdraw. And Burkina Faso’s army, which had always resented the special privileges of the Presidential Guard, moved into the capital and told Diendere to surrender.

So he did, although there was a bit of shooting first. Now Diendere is under arrest facing 11 charges including “crimes

against humanity”, the Presidential Guard has been disarmed and formally disbanded and the election is back on again for November 29.

The election will not solve all of Burkina Faso’s problems, but democracy might do it eventually. The country still has the lowest literacy rate in the world, it is still dirt poor and the population (now 17 million) is still doubling every 25 years. But one thing has definitely changed for the better.

Most Burkinabes may be illiterate, but they have become aware of their rights and no longer accept the dictates of armed thugs in uniform without question. African institutions have changed too and no longer turn a blind eye when a member country faces a military coup. They intervene promptly and decisively, and they generally succeed.

They are less good at dealing with countries where dictators hold regular elections whose outcomes they control through bribery, a monopoly of the mass media, or just plain police-state terror, like Sudan, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia. But more than half of the continent’s 50 countries are now more or less functional (though still quite corrupt) de-

mocracies.

The real value of democracy is that it requires the rule of law, which is the most important thing you need in order for economic growth to benefit people outside the political and business elite. People just won’t bother to invest and work hard if they know the proceeds are likely to be stolen.

The rule of law is never complete – even in the most developed countries, there is often one law for the rich and another for the poor – but the closer you get to the ideal the better your growth will be. People often miss this, thinking only in terms of human rights and arguing that the economy, not democracy, must be the first priority for poor countries.

They are wrong. It is the rule of law that gradually shrinks corruption and gives people a reason to invest in their future, and you can’t have the rule of law without democracy. Burkina Faso is heading in the right direction, and so is Africa.

POLL RESULT

Gwynne Dyer he dust has settled in Ouagadougou, Africa’s capital of military coups (seven in 65 years), and the elections in Burkina Faso have been rescheduled for the end of next month.

Don’t be cynical about it; that is real progress.

Burkina Faso, a land-locked country in West Africa, competes with Somalia for the honour of being Africa’s poorest country.

You might wonder why anybody would want the thankless job of running such a place, but political power means access to scarce resources (like money) even in the poorest countries. Especially if you are in the army.

What would have been the country’s eighth coup (if it had succeeded) began in mid-September when General Gilbert Diendere, the head of the Presidential Guard, seized and imprisoned the interim president and prime minister. He was doing it, he said, because the party of the last president, Blaise Compaore, had been banned from running in the election.

Compaore, a former soldier who first came to power in a coup himself, was ousted by popular demonstrations last year when he tried to run for the presidency yet again after 27 years in power. Diendere had been his closest associate for all of that time and everybody assumed that his coup was really a bid by Compaore to return to power.

Everybody was right, although if the coup succeeded Diedere might have decided to stay in power himself. When the demonstrators who had forced Compaore out of power last year came out on the streets again, Diendere’s troops hosed them down with automatic weapons fire, killing 14 and wounding hundreds. It was not the mob but the institutions that thwarted his ambitions.

The coup was instantly condemned by the African Union. “The AU considers the announcement by the military

Rebrand for YFC The country’s foremost rural contest has a new sponsor and henceforth will be rebranded as FMG Young Farmer of the Year.

The contest pits contestants in battles of agricultural knowledge, people and practical skills and mental fortitude. All qualities and attributes needed to be successful in farming today, New Zealand Young Farmers chief executive Terry Copeland said.

“For us Young Farmers embraces so much of what’s great about farming in this country. It promotes taking calculated risks, innovation, competition, collaboration and idea-sharing, leadership and achievement,” FMG chief executive Chris Black said.

“Young Farmers has a wonderful tradition, dating back to the mid-1930s – and interestingly FMG has been there from the outset, supporting Young Farmers get es-

tablished in various ways in the early days – so it’s fitting to be rekindling the relationship,” Mr Black said.

“FMG is a well-respected rural organisation and is genuinely passionate about not only supporting us to enhance the competition but to also support young men and women to achieve great things in agriculture,” Mr Copeland said.

“This passion is referenced by the fact they want to be a hands-on sponsor.

They’ve already rolled up their sleeves and sat around the table with us to start building on the great work that has gone on previously.

“I think this attitude says it all about their spirit and commitment to fostering achievement and leadership within the sector.”

MARKET REPORT Dairy Nothing has changed weatherwise as windy dry conditions continue to dominate the region but at least rain is on the forecast this week as the situation is getting more desperate for dryland farmers.

Pasture growth rates are forecast to again fall below 20kg dm/ha into early November and prevent a build up of pasture covers but farms with water are starting to harvest early silage.

AI mating has begun on many farms with tail paint indicating good heat activity and the bulls with the heifers are being rotated regularly.

Although peak milk supply in the north is close, it is estimated to be weeks away in the South Island with a later mating and slow spring dampening the milk flows, and estimates that a decrease in dairy cattle numbers for the first time in the last 24 years will see a reduced supply this year.

After a run of rises in the past four events the market corrected at last week’s milk auction by -3.1 per cent and reminded farmers they will need to be patient waiting for a sustainable upturn.

Westpac says they will support dairy clients to the tune of about $2/kg/ms on negative cashflows this year, but the strict discipline of only spending on essential costs will need to continue for a while yet.

June tonnages reveal record volumes of palm kernel have been fed, and Fonterra’s decree to reduce usage will impact heavily on many farming systems.

Lamb Schedules eased this week as the currency strengthened and processors still report surplus stocks in China, and steady and stable demand from important UK, European and US markets.

As the region completes tailing, advisers suggest the focus should readjust to achieving growth rates of 400g per day for growing lambs as past trials suggest a creep feeding system has merits to achieve

the goal of a big harvest of heavy lambs at weaning.

The first of the spring lambs are now arriving at local saleyards with pricing similar to last year’s lambs, but marketers report concern on demand for frozen product produced after Christmas.

Wool More falls in wool prices at last week’s South Island auction driven by the currency rise and a tight Chinese economy, and the 30 per cent passing rate was led by the finer micron offering with the mid micron indicator easing nearly a $1 kg clean.

Merino NZ claims its contracting operation has reduced the volatility of pricing of the wool business and plans to expand its foray into the crossbred wool market.

Beef Beef schedules continue to fall off the past highs as volumes increase in storage for quota restricted US beef, and consumer resistance grows for the high prices for the product, and preference returns to cheaper pork and chicken.

Demand however continues for chilled markets but volumes are low and the firming currency now 5 USc higher in the last month is impacting on NZ farmer returns.

The flood of dairy beef animals on the market has subdued demand with yearlings at Coalgate proving difficult to sell last week.

Deer More schedule price falls this week again blamed on the currency, but marketers are positive about growing demand out of the UK and North American, and the Cervena trial into the Netherlands that looks to sell the chilled product all year round.

Warmer weather is speeding up the growth of velvet antler and regular harvesting will allow heads to be cut at optimum time for the markets requirements.

■ WINTER FEED

Farmers need to talk about winter feed

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

With winter feed crops going in the ground Federated Farmers is reiterating the need for dairy and herd owners and graziers to discuss requirements for next winter.

Federated Farmers Mid Canterbury vice president and dairy section spokesperson Jessie ChanDorman said the point can’t be hammered home enough in the midst of a tough season for many farmers.

“The milk price is lower than in recent years, the lamb schedule is down and grain prices have also decreased,” she said.

“This is causing a tightening of finances and increasing the need for certainty around planning and budgeting.

“As we progress through the season we all need to be mindful that we conduct our business in a fair manner.”

The federation’s Mid Canterbury grain and seed section spokesperson, Jo Burke, agrees.

“Winter feed is about to go in the ground and now is a good time for open discussion between herd owners and graziers,” she said.

“Both parties will benefit from some certainty about price and quantity.

“Dairy stocking rates across the region have been reduced and some dairy farmers have talked about wintering a portion of cows at home.

“Equally, there may be less graziers deciding to put in winter feed. This is why it is critical for people to start planning now and provide transparency about winter feed requirements and availability.

“Consider having the price discussion now and potentially com-

Dairy cattle will still need winter feed regardless of the low milk payout. ing to some agreement on at least part of the feed that is going in the ground.”

Federated Farmers have a new grazing agreement which is suitable for heifer, dry stock or win-

tering situations. Drafted by lawyers with input from farmers, the agreement outlines each party’s roles and responsibilities, including reporting, feed, progress measurement and quarantine

drenching along with adverse event provisions.

Like all the federation’s contracts it comes with 15 minutes of complimentary legal advice which can be used when entering

At $80.50 for members, the agreement is a fraction of what you would pay a lawyer, Mrs Chan-Dorman said.

■ NZ DAIRY INDUSTRY AWARDS

Entries open for dairy awards

By Michelle NelsoN

Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Entries are already coming in for the Canterbury/North Otago region of the 2016 New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards, regional managers Jeremy and Stacey Duckmanton say.

The couple, who farm near Methven, said there were good reasons to get involved in the competition in what is panning out to be a tight year for dairy farmers.

“Just by entering you open the door to a wide range of experts who can look over your business plans and offer feedback at no cost,” Mrs Duckmanton said.

“In a year when things are tight, if you can stand out and increase profit it will help move you up the career ladder.”

Winners of this year’s Sharemilker/Equity Farmer of the Year competition Justin and Melissa Slattery agree.

“By entering you go through your business with a fine tooth comb and find out where savings can be made.

“It’s a good way to analyse your business and it’s what everyone needs to do in a lower payout,” Mr Slattery said.

“The awards provide great networking opportunities with other entrants, industry professionals, leading farmers and organisers.”

The Sharemilker/Equity Farmer competition has been renamed the Share Farmer competition, in line with a number of changes made to streamline the awards.

These include changes to entry criteria which should ensure a more even spread of entries across the three competitions in 2016.

Entries close on November 30 but those in before November 20 will be in the early bird draw to

NEW CATEGORIES The Share Farmer of the Year competition (previously known as the Sharemilker/Equity Farmer of the Year) is open to all self-employed farmers largely responsible for the day-to-day running of the farm, such as sharemilkers, contract milkers, lessees and equity farm managers.

The Dairy Manager of the Year (was Farm Manager of the Year) is open to all salaried farm workers – such as farm managers, herd managers, production managers and others.

The criteria in the Dairy Trainee of the Year contest has been changed so that only those aged between 18 to 25 years with up to three years full-time experience on a dairy farm and the equivalent of up to a Level 4 qualification can enter.

■ ASHBURTON MUSEUM

The girl who made the map

BY GLENN VALLENDER

Left – Clarice’s map of South Africa. Her name is just too small to read.

I

n a previous article on the map collection held in the Ashburton Museum, one intriguing handdrawn coloured map of South Africa by a 13 1/2-year-old girl from Lismore (and Hinds) School was mentioned.

That girl was remembered by one of her nieces, also a Clarice, who lives in Ashburton and is herself now 94.

What a pleasure it was to be able to piece together a small part of the social history of this map and to talk with a living relative of its author.

A picture really is a window into the past and worth much more than a thousand words. The museum’s oral history may also be enriched by the stories told by Clarice’s niece.

The map in question was hand drawn by Clarice Emerson as part of a school competition in which her map was placed third.

This explains why her age was recorded on the map.

Although uncertain, it was likely that Clarice was shown where to place the battlefields of the South African War by an uncle who had served in that dreadful war, the first overseas war in which New Zealand soldiers were sent in 1899-1902.

The question asked was, who was Clarice Emerson?

Jeanine (Jenny/Jeannie) Clarice Maud Emerson was born in Romsey, Victoria, Australia, on October 5, 1886. The town of Romsey was established in the 1850s and is not far from Ballarat (of gold rush fame and 80km away) and Melbourne (50km away).

Clarice became a Plunket nurse and dedicated her life to nursing, specialising in public and mental health.

Clarice may have been one of the first Plunket nurses as they were not established until 1907 by Sir Frederick Truby King. She would have been aged 22 in 1908. She later became a public welfare officer. Clarice died on March 9, 1982, aged 95. She was loved by all who knew her.

Clarice’s ashes are buried at the Marsden Valley cemetery, Nelson, along with her husband Albert Denize, who died aged 92.

They were married in 1961 when Clarice was 75.

Clarice has written her family name as Emerson on the map, but was the daughter of William Jeffs and Mary Davis.

Clarice’s father was possibly killed in a mining accident in 1887.

Clarice’s mother Mary came to Ashburton and married Francis Leal Emerson, a local farmer. Both are buried in the old section of the Ash-

burton cemetery.

So, a hand-drawn map now accessioned in the Ashburton Museum holds a deeper story of an Ashburton schoolgirl who came to New Zealand from Australia and had a wonderful

life as a nurse.

Clarice’s niece Clarice and her daughter were thrilled to be able to view and touch her aunt’s handdrawn map made some 115 years ago.

In brief Black type in focus David Greene is certain about the way ahead for his gifted mare Stolen Dance. The Te Rapa trainer produced the four-year-old for a successful open company debut on her home track in yesterday’s Seafood Bazaar Handicap and her future is now all about stakes racing. “We have to look at black type races and I’m sure she can be competitive,” Greene said.

The form book pointed to further success at Te Rapa for Stolen Dance who had finished runner-up when resuming behind Consensus, a winner at Ellerslie on Saturday, and she was sent out a warm favourite.

Money ‘too good’

Halfway down the Ashburton straight and the whips are cracking. Smolda (outside) is about to claim Ohoka Punter (Tony Herlihy) as they fight out the finish in the $50,000 Ashburton Trust Flying Stakes yesterday. In a dominating day for the All Stars stable, Mark Purdon drove Smolda superbly, after Tiger Tara (Gerard O’Reilly) and Mossdale Conner (Ricky May) had fought a ding-dong battle down the back. Ohoka Punter had those runners covered, but couldn’t withstand Smolda’s big run down the centre of the track.

The money on offer for Enigma Machine was too good for Ben Foote to refuse, but it will enable him to say no in the future. The Cambridge trainer was a partowner of the three-year-old, whose two wins from as many starts fuelled overseas interest in the colt. “He’s been sold to a syndicate in Hong Kong through Bryce Tankard,” Foote said. “Much as I loved the horse, I had to let him go. It’s a bit life-changing for me and I’ve sold a couple of others recently, but from now on I’ll be racing one or two and be able to keep hold of them.”

Cup field reduced There are 42 horses left vying for spots in the 24-horse field for the Melbourne Cup after the latest round of acceptances. The notable withdrawals yesterday were Rising Romance, Hauraki, Set Square, Gallante, Magicool and last year’s winner Protectionist while 11 internationally-trained horses remain in the mix. Moonee Valley Cup winner The United States, who received a 2.5kg penalty for his victory, sits at No.26 in the order of entry while Geelong Cup winner Almoonqith is safely in the field at No.22.

Sebring Sun ready Of the horses entered to take on Exosphere in the Coolmore Stud Stakes, Sebring Sun has come closest to him this spring. And that experience tells his trainer Gary Portelli he needs to be on his game to beat him, but he believes it can be done. The Godolphin colt is odds-on favourite to win Saturday’s Group One 1200m-sprint at Flemington following his three decisive wins in Sydney this campaign. Those victories include the Group One Golden Rose in which Sebring Sun finished third, beaten 2-3/4 lengths.

Lizard Island on song More than half a century after riding the first of two Victoria Derby winners, Pat Hyland has a realistic chance to take the famous Classic as a trainer.

Hyland, who saddles up Lizard Island in Saturday’s $1.5 million Derby at Flemington, rode Craftsman to win in 1963 and Silver Sharpe seven years later.

The 74-year-old still rides Lizard Island in his trackwork and has long had a big opinion of the colt.

“He’s a horse that ever since he came into the stable I had the feeling he was not just an average horse,” Hyland said.

In brief

■ SERENA MISS

Turning back the clock Graeme and Debbie Rogerson made New Zealand racing history at Riccarton six years ago and they are keen to relive those glory days with Serena Miss.

In 2009, the husband and wife training partnership produced the outstanding Katie Lee to become the first horse to complete the 2000 and 1000 Guineas double, and their sights are now set on repeating that feat next month.

Serena Miss was all but confirmed a starter in the Gr.1 Sothys NZ 2000 Guineas on November 7 following her victory in yesterday’s Gr.3 James & Annie Sarten Memorial at Te Rapa.

“It all hinged around today and how she went against the boys and some of the better fillies so we’re 99 per cent certain to go for the colts’ race,” Debbie Rogerson said.

“I was quietly confident and

“She’s come back a very good filly and a mile will suit her.”

By contrast, beaten favourite Serious Satire jarred up badly

and a trip to Christchurch has been ruled out for her after she tailed the field home.

“She’ll go to the paddock now, she was definitely feeling the ground,” trainer Stephen Marsh said.

Top book for Bosson Opie Bosson is a jockey in demand with seven rides at Flemington on Saturday, including two for the powerful Darley operation. He will don the familiar Godolphin blue colours aboard the John O’Sheatrained Magic Hurricane (Gr.1 Mackinnon Stakes) and Knoydart (Gr.2 Linlithgow Stakes). Bosson will also be partnering Dal Cielo (Gr.1 Coolmore Stud Stakes) for Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman, Danny O’Brien’s Miss Rose de Lago (Gr.1 Myer Classic) and the Brent Stanleyprepared Red Alto (Gr.1 VRC Derby).

He has also been claimed by O’Brien for She’s Got Speed (Wakeful Stakes) and Michael Moroney for Tivaci (Carbine Club Stakes). - NZME

A powerful daughter of Iffraaj, Serena Miss won the Gr.2 Matamata Breeders’ Stakes last season and this term she improved on a first-up sixth to finish runner-up in the Gr.3 Gold Trail Stakes at Hastings.

“This is the first time she’s had a draw so I rode her a bit more positively,” successful jockey Leith Innes said.

Serena Miss was close to the pace and she came with a welltimed finish to beat the Gr.1 Sothys NZ 2000 Guineas contenders Amarula and Stradivarius.

“It was a good effort and they were going pretty hard up front and she held on well,” Innes said.

Ali Baba was an eye-catching fourth after missing the jump and his effort has also earned him a trip to Christchurch.

“I liked the way he finished off after being slow from the gates,” Chad Ormsby said.

■ RUGBY

Rugby brings Samoan community together A group of spectators made the most of sunny weather on Saturday to watch Samoan communities from Christchurch and Ashburton play in a friendly rugby match at Hampstead Rugby Club.

Organiser John Kasiano said they decided to hold the game, which was open to anyone aged 18-35, to bring younger Samoan people together. “It was a lot of fun, everyone enjoyed it.” This was their inaugural game but they planned to play again in Christchurch on Canterbury Anniversary Day. They also wanted to expand to other Pasifika cultures, he said.

Anyone wanting to get involved, or help sponsor another event, can contact Mr Kasiano on 027 362 2595 or thereidyrose@yahoo.com.

Penalty rulings a concern

By Patrick Mckendry All Blacks coach Steve Hansen will seek clarification with referees’ boss Joel Jutge on some of the rulings made against his side in the tense semi-final victory over South Africa on Sunday.

Hansen’s men were on the receiving end of 13 penalties, compared with the Springboks’ six, a discrepancy which the coach described as worrying in the aftermath of the 20-18 victory at Twickenham.

The day after the match, Hansen, who had watched a recording of the test, admitted his men

In brief Third title for Hamilton Defending champion Lewis Hamilton secured his third world title in dramatic fashion yesterday when he took victory in a roller-coaster, stop-start, wet-and-dry United States Grand Prix. The 30-year-old Briton, who started from second on the grid, came home 2.850 seconds clear of his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg to deliver his 10th victory of a dominant season. Hamilton now has an unbeatable total of 327 points, moving him beyond the reach of both Rosberg, who finished second, and four-time champion Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari, who came home third.

Phoenix refused Wellington Phoenix’s A-League future has been thrown into deeper doubt with Football Federation Australia declining the club’s request for a 10-year licence extension.

The FFA said the Phoenix, whose current licence expires at the end of the current season, still have the option of requesting a four-year licence until the conclusion of the 2019/20 season. But it would not consider extending the club’s future in the competition beyond that, with FFA boss David Gallop saying the board’s decision was made “in the best interests of Australian football”.

Kiwis ‘must improve’ For Kiwis coach Stephen Kearney the recipe is simple heading towards the first test against England on Monday. His team needs to lift their game substantially - and quickly. In the wake of the Kiwis’ patchy performance against Leeds last Saturday, Kearney and the coaching staff have a lot of work to do over the next few days. If the Kiwis replicate their first half Headingley display in the first test - where easy passes were dropped, tackles were missed and timing was often out - they’ll be in trouble against an England team that have grown considerably over the past few years.

were at fault for many of the decisions by referee Jerome Garces, but there were some he couldn’t understand - such as the maul penalty against No8 Kieran Read - and on other occasions the Frenchman failed to penalise the Boks for doing the same thing.

“A lot of the penalties were justified,” Hansen said.

“There were a couple there I don’t agree with, so I’ll have to talk to Joel about the interpretation - I’m talking mainly about Reado’s entry to the maul.

“I felt he was in the maul and had all the rights to do what he was doing.

“The only concern I’ve got is whilst we’re getting penalised for things, the same things were [being done by] the opposition and they weren’t, so that will be something else I’ll be talking about.

“You just want consistency.”

The Boks showed the value of playing at the right end of the field and having a goalkicker in the form of Handre Pollard, and later Pat Lambie.

But as the minutes ticked down and the All Blacks defended a two-point lead, Hansen, felt the territory game his side were playing would get them home.

Told that he looked relatively composed, Hansen said: “On the outside I was.

“You don’t really understand [what it’s like] unless you’re sitting in the seat yourself.

“There’s a lot of tension going on inside and you’re just hoping that things will go the way you want them to go.

“There’s nothing you can do you just have to sit there and if you’ve got to make any decisions like subs you have to be clear.

“You’ve just got to trust and keep the belief and things will work out how they do, I guess.”

A remarkable fourth innings run chase has earned Wellington an outright win over Central Districts in the Plunket Shield. Central Districts had set Wellington 306 to win in 65 overs. Wellington required a daunting 187 from 34 overs, but big knocks from Matt Taylor (33 from 26) and Luke Woodcock (31 from 19) saw them home. In other Shield action, Canterbury are set to wrap up a good win over Otago today. Resuming at 272-2, Peter Fulton smashed his way to an unbeaten 155, joining forces with Ken McClure (66) to put on an unbeaten 216. The declaration at 350-2 set Otago 553 to win, and they are a long way from that target, sitting at 213-6 at the end of the third day’s play.

Wallabies ‘have edge’

Australasian RWC final

By Patrick Mckendry The All Blacks will play Australia in a World Cup final for the first time next Sunday after the Wallabies saw off Argentina thanks to Adam Ashley-Cooper’s three tries.

The 29-15 victory didn’t come without cost for Australia, with fullback Israel Folau, in doubt during the week with an ankle injury, limping off in the second half.

He was a subdued figure throughout and one of Australia’s key attacking weapons must be in doubt for the final.

This wasn’t an entirely convincing win from Australia, despite the scoreline. Up 19-9 at halftime they seemed in total control, but the Pumas hit back after the break, and, with the scoreline narrowed to 22-15 and the momentum shifting, the Wallabies lost a little composure.

Unlike in their fortunate quarter-final victory over Scotland at this venue last weekend, however, they didn’t lose it completely.

In Ashley-Cooper they have a surpreme finisher, but the Pumas made too many errors to capitalise on their chances.

In trying to play an expansive game, they got their strategy wrong.

Instead of trying to run the ball and putting themselves under pressure, they should have played a territory-based game like the All Blacks in their 20-18 victory over the Springboks the day before.

Their scrum had the Aussies in trouble in the second half, and despite the Wallabies’ improvement in this area recently, it is one area of vulnerability the All Blacks will want to exploit.

Prop James Slipper, in particular, had a difficult afternoon.

Steve Hansen’s desire to see the two teams bash each other up ahead of next Sunday’s match was fulfilled.

There were Argentina players strewn across the pitch throughout and Aussie loose forwards Scott Fardy and David Pocock had blood streaming from their faces.

The Pumas were all but gone at halftime.

Ten points in arrears without inspirational captain and hooker Agustin Creevy, who walked injured from the field, the Argentines had to cope with the sinbin-

ning of lock Tomas Lavanini and the fact that the Wallabies were taking all their chances.

Ashley-Cooper’s tries in each corner, and Rob Simmons’ try from an intercept, put an enormous amount of scoreboard pressure on the Pumas, who looked over-eager from the start, a sure-fire way to make mistakes in a sudden-death match.

Wallabies great John Eales has identified Australia’s decisive edge over the All Blacks - and New Zealand fans won’t like it one bit.

One of only three players to have twice lifted the Webb Ellis Cup, Eales believes Australia’s outstanding back row of David Pocock, Michael Hooper and Scott Fardy can blitz the breakdown in Sunday’s Rugby World Cup final.

It’s a big call given the defending champions boast arguably the All Blacks’ greatest-ever player, threetimes world player of the year Richie McCaw, at openside flanker and will be bent on sending their inspirational skipper out in the ultimate fashion.

But Eales says the Wallabies’ back row - combined with the team’s blitzing defensive pressure - can be the difference.

“The line speed is really good.

Michael Cheika has done a wonderful job developing this team.”

Pressed on whether he meant the Wallabies have the measure of the All Blacks back row of Kieran Read, McCaw and Jerome Kaino, Eales was unwavering.

“I think they showed that in Sydney,” Eales said.

“When we’ve got this team with this combination on, I think we are and we’ve proven that in a number of games.”

- AAP

The big Pumas supporting contingent didn’t like many of referee Waynes Barnes’ decisions, and they often had a point.

Barnes was determined to yellow card Lavanini for not using his arms in a tackle on Israel Folau - TMO Ben Skeen was unsure - and he spotted a knock-on late in the half when the Pumas were hot on attack that few others in the crowd saw.

It added up to a lot of frustration and the crowd let him know their feelings on halftime when Barnes jogged off to a chorus of boos.

Ashley-Cooper’s try late in the second half sealed it, but the Argentines kept trying for that elusive try to the end, roared on by a passionate crowd. It didn’t quite come, but the tournament has been better for their involvement.

The All Blacks have an extra day to prepare for the final against an Australian team already battered from the Pool of Death.

How much did this semi-final take out of them?

We’ll find out next Sunday.

■ CYCLING

King of the roads Geoff Rhodes was rewarded for some solid early season efforts with a victory in Tinwald Cycling Club’s 48km handicap event around the Grahams Road block on Sunday.

Rhodes’ win earned him the right to lift the McElinney Trophy which is no mean feat in itself as it is arguably one of the larger trophies in the district standing at 1.10 metres in height.

It was a tight finish, with Alex Crawford charging into second place and Doug Coley pulling out an eye-catching performance to secure the third place spoils.

Jamie Robertson showed plenty of promise taking fourth position with Dave Shurrock and Mark Smitheram rounding out the top six.

Timaru visitor Craig Domigan claimed fastest time honours riding the course in 67.54.

Co-markers Tony Ward and Josh Connor secured second and third time respectively.

The juniors and division two rode 18km.

Maddie Lowry continued her stellar season with a hard fought win over a determined Connie

Davidson. Matt Clough charged into third place, and in doing so also claimed fastest time honours, covering the distance in 27.23.

Caitlin Titheridge was hot on his tail in fourth, with brother and sister duo Dylan and Suzie Leech filing the next two spots.

Kerry Clough had a good ride to claim Division 2 victory with Janette Hooper taking second and fastest time honours.

Next week the club will contest a graded scratch event around the Blackbridge block.

Froome fancies chances again Chris Froome likes his chances of defending his Tour de France title on a route that plays to his allaround riding skills.

Two individual time trials and 28 tough climbs will be on the schedule in July, organisers announced recently.

“It suits me better than this year’s Tour did,” Froome said.

The 3519-kilometre (2186-mile) trek will scale the Pyrenees before the Alps, just as the Tour did this year, again going counter-clockwise around France.

That breaks with tradition, because generally the Tour alternates between clockwise and counterclockwise.

Froome, who also won in 2013, is strong both on climbs and in individual time trials, making him an early favourite for 2016.

Chris Froome at the announcement.

“It’s not any certain stage or discipline that’s going to decide next year’s Tour. It’s a combination of everything.

“It’s going to take a very wellrounded rider to win,” the Team Sky rider said.

“It’s going to test every aspect of cycling.”

An ascent of Mont Ventoux in

Provence on Bastille Day on July 14 will test the best climbers.

Froome was the stage winner when the Tour last scaled its barren, 1909-metre (6263-foot) peak in 2013 and is eyeing that stage again for another victory next year.

The Mont-Saint-Michel, a World Heritage Benedictine abbey perched on a rock off the Normandy coast, will provide a picture-postcard start for the race.

The first stage ends at Utah Beach, where Allied troops landed on D-Day in 1944.

A first taste of mountains will be on Stage 5, in the Massif Central.

From there, there will be little respite on the next 15 stages before the last ride into Paris.

“It’s so hard,” sprinter Mark Cavendish said. “For 21 days, it’s going to be full gas.”

27/10

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): There’s a shift happening inside you. Your interest in one subject wanes while your interest in another waxes. Much will be illuminated in the next 48 hours.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): It’s pointless and stressful to argue with what is. When instead you agree, readily accepting what you can’t change, suddenly new, invigorating energy will sweep through your scene.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The best partnerships might not make your life easier at first. The collaboration might take more work than you expected. But once you figure out how to groove with one another, the results will be brilliant.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Strong emotions make you more willing to lose the familiarity and comforts of the past. This is your admission price to a better future. The progress you desire is worth the sacrifice.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): There’s nothing you fear more today than the possibility of regret. That’s why you’ll make the bold choice and risk playing the fool. Your motto: Go big or go home.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’ll lead with your principles, practice sportsmanship and maintain high standards for even the seemingly small details of the day. It’s becoming easier and easier for you to be extraordinary.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Favours are tricky. Small ones work best. Don’t accept a favour that requires great effort or expense from another, as it will only cost you dearly in the end.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You’re getting to know the intricacies of a process. The more you learn the sweeter your experience. This education will help you take things to a whole new level.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Don’t wait to feel grateful or lucky. Let it happen regardless of external circumstances. The fortunate feeling will come first, and the good fortune will come second.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): A little more effort, and patience — that’s what it will take to turn this experiment into a success. You can do this. Breathe deeply; coerce a smile from yourself; go at it again.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): If you keep letting them make the rules for you, they’ll keep doing it.

You have more freedom than you are owning. Claim it now. It’s the only way to get where you want to go.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’ll flex your mental muscles. You’re a problem-solving machine today. It will get to the point where you’ll think this is so much fun, you’ll actually go looking for problems to solve.

Junior talent shines on court

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Yesterday marked the end of three competitive days of action at the Ashburton Trust Junior Tennis Open.

Fifty-one local players, including 15 seeded players, made up a large proportion of the 133 competitors, with plenty of talent on show throughout the age groups.

The Mid Canterbury players produced some fine results amongst a high level of competition.

The boys’ 10s was won by Blake Cullen with Jonathon Rollinson finishing as runner-up.

Liam Barrett, Ruairi Meighen and Jeroen Breunisse took out the

boys’ 11s, 12s and 14s respectively while Flynn Ness and Sam Bubb flew the local flag in the 16s section with strong displays.

Ness finished runner-up behind Khaki Morgan, and Bubb placed third in a competitive age group.

The boys’ 8/9s was won by Alasdair McCall, but the local contingent were in fine form with Murphy Dargue placing second and Jake Parsons finishing in third place.

Cullen and James Kirk took out the boys’ doubles 10s while the 11s was won by Nathan McKenzie and Ben Smith, but the Ashburton duo of Dargue and Tyler Leonard were runners-up follow-

Opie a popular man at Flemington P17

ing some good performances.

The 12-year boys’ doubles was won by Connor Crotty and Ryan McNulty, but Mid Cantabrians enjoyed success in the boys’ 14s and 16s doubles with Edwin Dargue making up one half of the 14-year winners with Thomas Hartono and local boys Bubb and Ness winning the 16-year section.

Not to be outdone, little brother Murphy Dargue won the boys’ 8/9 doubles with Charles Donnelly followed by Jacob Adam and Jake Parsons in second spot.

Felicity Pye was the best of the girls’ 10s while Ava Williman and Jade Griffiths won the 11s and 12s respectively.

Zoe Coberger Taite won the 14s

section, but fine displays from Erin Connelly-Whyte and Millie Ness saw the Mid Canterbury pair place second and third.

To finish off the singles, the girls’ 16s was won by Caroline Murdoch with Ilana Goossenss runner-up.

The girls’ doubles produced some thrilling encounters and local success in the 11-year group with Amelia McKeown and Amelia Newlands taking first place.

Kate Crawford and Matilda Hayman were the best of the 12s doubles before Ashburton outfit Jade Brosnahan and Erin Connelly-Whyte won the 14/16s doubles.

Mid Canterbury tennis coach Chris Anderson said the tournament was enjoyed by all and cred-

ited the local contingent for some fine performances.

“Not a bad set of results for little old Mid Canterbury,” she said.

“There were some very talented players that love coming to Ashburton and playing here.

“It’s a great facility, one of the best in the country, and the weather played its part too.”

Meanwhile, Tess McCann’s aspirations of qualifying for the Australian Individual and Teams Nationals in Melbourne in December will have to wait another year following a 6-0, 6-4 loss to Elys Ventura in the playoff for third place at the TNZ Junior Top Eight Finals in Christchurch yesterday.
