Child abuse – enough is enough

BY MICHELLE NELSON

So many museums P15

Emotions overflowed during a rally in Ashburton’s Baring Square West yesterday, where more than 120 people took part in a nation-wide protest as the killers of a Tauranga preschooler received the stiffest sentences handed down for child abuse in New Zealand.

Thousands turned out for the Stand UP NZ Justice for Moko rally which took place as Tania Shailer, 43, and David Haerewa were each sentenced to 17 years imprisonment on manslaughter charges

by Justice Sarah Katz in the High Court at Rotorua.

The rallies were organised following the killing of three-year-old Moko Sayviah Rangitoheriri in Taupo in August.

His two caregivers were investigated for murder, but subsequently admitted manslaughter charges following a plea deal.

Much of the protesters’ anger was di-

rected at the court’s failure to pursue murder charges against the pair.

Safer Ashburton’s safer families’ coordinator Anna Arrowsmith addressed those gathered on a bleak winter morning beside the War Memorial in Ashburton.

The message was the same at each rally and included the following excerpts: “Moko was brutally beaten and tortured over a two-month period. He was bitten. He was stomped on. He was kicked. He was starved. He was dropped face first to the floor. He screamed in pain, so they covered his mouth to silence him. Even when he was so weak, he could barely walk, the swelling to his face was so significant he could hardly open his eyes, his little body completely battered, his (killers) continued to inflict pain and suffering.

“With the country united we will be doing everything in our power to ensure this never happens again.

“We are here today to demand change – enough is enough.”

Ashburton social worker and White Ribbon ambassador, Evans Chibanguza, quoted Catholic priest Oscar Romero, saying “those who have a voice must speak for the voiceless”.

“So I speak to you as the voice of Moko Rangitoheriri,” he said before going on to list Nia Glassie and James Whakaroro, Chris and Cru Kahui – all of who died at the hands of their caregivers.

JUSTICE FOR MOKO RALLY

The mood was solemn in Baring Square yesterday morning during a minute’s silence for child abuse victims.

270616-MN-0047

Child abuse – enough is enough From P1 In total 61 children have died of non-accidental injuries in New Zealand in the past decade, 15 last year alone, Mr Chibanguza said.

“Today is about everyone taking ownership of this important issue and being part of the solution rather than just leaving it to someone else, be that the police, Child Youth and Family the justice system schools or NGOs,” he said.

“The challenge for us is to keep this conversation going and to keep giving the children a voice and to not stop until such a time that no child in New Zealand suffers or dies as a result of abuse or neglect.

Tears flowed as former social worker and mother of two Christine Richards read a poem written for Moko.

How much difference do you hope this march, along with all the other marches around New Zealand, will make?

Thousands of Kiwis gathered outside courthouses yesterday morning to protest the manslaughter charge given to Tania Shailer and David Haerewa, following the death of three-year-old Moko Rangitokeriri in Taupo last year.

Yesterday, the defendants appeared in the High Court in Rotorua to face their verdict.

Across the country, there were cries for the charge to be changed from manslaughter to murder, with hashtags such as ‘#JusticeForMoko,’ ‘#RIPBabyMoko,’ and ‘#MurderNOTManslaughter’ covering Facebook.

Those who rallied in Ashburton hoped the protests across the country will show the Government New Zealand wants change.

LANA GREENFIELD I hope it makes a lot of change and a lot of people need to know what is going on behind closed doors.

From left: WHAITIRIA RAPAEA It’s out of it how many children have passed from murder. It is murder, not manslaughter. That needs to change.

CHRISTINE HOPWOOD (left) I hope it makes a huge difference, it has to.

ELAINE BUSBY (right) I hope it makes changes in plea bargaining.

EULIA WEST-PAKURIA As a community we need it to make a big difference.

KATE MOSES The end result would be a change of legislation.

When will we as a society change? When will we as a society no longer accept child abuse?

LYNN REUBEN I think what people need to know it that its okay to say it’s not okay and it’s okay to say something.

District councillors under attack

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton District councillors will come under attack on two fronts on Thursday over a planned sale of land in the North East Business estate to a water bottling company.

One of their own, Ken Cutforth, will fly the flag for on-line petition organisers Action Station, presenting a petition that has been open on the organisation’s Facebook page for several weeks. It has attracted about 40,000 signatures.

A councillor may present a petition on behalf of the petitioner but

they cannot speak to the petition or answer questions from their fellow councillors.

Also at the meeting representatives from the Bung the Bore group will speak to councillors.

This group has been the community front for opposition to the land sale and will be led by Jen Branje.

The council has a deal on the table that would see a 10 hectare site at the business park sold to NZ Pure Blue.

The company plans to activate a water consent granted for the site

to bottle water. As part of the deal, NZ Pure Blue has offered to fund the relocation of Ashburton’s town centre rail shunting yard to the business estate because it intends to move its bottled water by rail rather than road. The relocation has been on the council’s wish-list for several years.

Yesterday the council released a copy of the sale and purchase agreement for Lot 9 to the media.

This had previously been withheld due to commercial sensitivity around the deal, but after seeking legal advice, the council decided

to make a redacted version of the deal public, community relations manager Vincie Billante said. The purchase price and deposit were blanked out on the media document.

Purchaser’s conditions around the sale include a geotech report on the v land and the availability of a connection to the main trunk rail line.

The original date for settlement was June 30 but NZ Pure Blue has requested an extension of time.

Bung the Bore is scheduled to make another television appear-

ance this week to reinforce its opposition to the land sale.

Ashburton mayor Angus McKay was asked to appear alongside the group and to comment on plans for the rail head relocation, but declined saying the relocation plans were NZ Pure Blue’s not the council’s.

The council’s deal was about the land sale. It had an agreement with a purchaser and now had to wait until the money was in the bank. The rail head relocation was a separate agreement with another party, Mr McKay said.

■ COLLEGE AFTER-BALL

■ MT HUTT

Parents save the day

Westpac chopper on Mt Hutt

By RuBy HaRfield Ruby.h@theguaRdian

Ashburton College’s parent community has saved the day for students after the school ball on Friday.

More than 110 parents have banded together to organise a private after-party following the cancellation of the Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drug Service (ACADS) event in May. ACADS announced the cancellation of both Mount Hutt and Ashburton colleges after-ball

parties, which they had successfully run for 17 years, following a letter from police stating that organised after ball parties involving the consumption of alcohol and a charge were illegal.

Ashburton College parents have now taken it upon themselves to organise a safe, private and invitation-only party, under the same blueprint as the ACADS event, without a charge but students being asked to pay a donation.

Acting principal Andrea Pearce

said she was really grateful to amazing amount of parents who wanted to be involved in this.

“Having parents organise something is great, it’s a really good way of ensuring students’ safety.”

The traditional ACADS-run functions were organised to mitigate the risk of alcohol-related harm to students following balls by providing a safe place to celebrate in a well-supervised environment.

They had a set of rules which al-

lowed students 20 minutes to get to the venue, limited the amount of alcohol they could bring in and operated under a closed-door policy.

The after ball, which has been organised by Ashburton College parents, will be run under the same style.

Mount Hutt College had their ball on May 27 and students either made their way home or went to privately-held after parties due to ACADS cancelling their annual function.

■ NEW RECRUITS

Methven brigade welcomes ‘newbies’ By linda ClaRke

Linda.c@theguaRdian.co.nz

The Methven Volunteer Fire Brigade welcomed three new members recently.

Kerry Smith, Vicki Mee and Matt Duncan all passed their seven-day recruits course at the Woolston training centre recently and have joined the Methven crew.

“They’re fully fledged firefighters now,” said Methven deputy chief Mike Seque, “and they can ride in the truck and wear the gear.”

Mrs Mee is the brigade’s only female member, though she is not the first.

The three new recruits join the brigade as it gears up for a traditionally busy winter season.

“It’s always busier this time of year.

“Medical call-outs are more and more, there are car crashes and fires,” Mr Seque said.

The three newbies finished at the top of the 12-person course were praised by trainers for their precourse preparations.

Mr Seque said firefighters were anticipating the usual number of callouts to crashes on Route 72 from Mt

Hutt to Mayfield over winter.

He said the road’s bitumen surface was a problem and caught tourists when it became wet and slippery or icy.

The Westpac rescue helicopter made two trips to Mt Hutt skifield on Saturday, one for an injured skier and the other when a car ran off the access road to the skifield.

The injured skier, a male in his 20s, was airlifted to Christchurch Hospital’s emergency department with moderate injuries about 10.35am.

The helicopter, with St John paramedics on board, was called back about 2pm after reports a car had plunged 100m off the access road.

The occupants were lucky to survive, emergency responders said.

One man was taken to hospital with moderate injuries.

ACC is encouraging skiers to wear helmets and says it gets about 500 claims a year for head injuries.

The skifield was open yesterday with a snowpack that had firmed a little after a frosty night.

Skiing and riding was limited to the main trails and there was a delay to the start of Summit 6 operations while de-icing took place on the lift.

Chains were to be carried by all vehicles and drivers told to switch on their headlights as low visibility was expected; drivers have to maintain 2-way access at all times and observe the 40km/h speed limit.

■ TRADEME PROPERTY

In brief

Rent rising but affordable

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

The cost of renting a house in Ashburton has increased but it’s still more affordable than many parts of New Zealand.

Weekly median rent price has grown steadily in the last year, reaching a 4.8 per cent increase however, Ashburton only increased by 4.6 per cent.

Rentals have moved from an

Christchurch’s weak market.

The median weekly rent price in Christchurch fell 9.1 per cent.

Mr Jeffries said this began in 2015 when repair efforts began to reach their peak.

Mr Jeffries said Auckland is New Zealand’s most expensive region with the median weekly price of $520.

“Renting a typical property in Auckland will set you back more

averaged $325 per week in 2015 to $340 today. TradeMe statistics show that in May 2012 the median weekly rent in Ashburton was $280, $60 less than it is now.

Only two regions fell in median weekly rent price in the last year, with Gisborne falling 7.4 per cent and Canterbury falling 7.0 per cent. Head of TradeMe Property Nigel Jeffries said the Canterbury market was influenced heavily by

than $27,000 a year, that’s up $1,500 since May last year and a hefty $5000 increase since May 2011,” he said. The halo effect around Auckland has pushed up rental prices in surrounding regions as well.

The Bay of Plenty rose 8.8 per cent to $400 a week, Waikato similarly saw a 7.5 per cent increase in median rent, and Northland increased by 4.9 per cent.

■ TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

Words of encouragement for small businesses

By SuE nEwman

SuE.n@thEguardian.Co.nz

When it comes to value to New Zealand’s economy, small businesses are anything but small in their impact says Small Business Minister Craig Foss.

Mr Foss was in Ashburton yesterday on a whistle-stop break during his Taking Care of Business meetings being held around New Zealand over the next few weeks. And while he did not come with the entourage of government agency representatives that will accompany him during his workshops, Mr Foss had plenty of words of advice and encouragement for Ashburton’s small business owners.

During a meeting that was small on numbers but high on enthusiasm, he said that while today’s business environment was challenging it was also filled with opportunities.

Across New Zealand there were 550,000 small businesses and between them they made up about 30 per cent of the national GDP, Mr Foss said.

A small business is defined as one that has up to 20 employees.

“They’re a very, very significant part of our economy and right now they’re facing some amazing challenges but also some amaz-

Minister for Small Business, Craig Foss with Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew, talking issues of concern with Ashburton small business owners.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 270616-TM-0037 portunities, however, meant New Zealand’s small businesses were increasingly faced with compliance issues.

“We do try to get out of the way of small businesses so they can get on with doing what they do best, but our magic is the trust and integrity that comes with the Kiwi label and we lose that at our

ing opportunities. Where once there competition came from across the road, up the street or around town, now their competition is world wide.”

Communication technology had opened the door to challenge, but it had created opportunities too, Mr Foss said.

Taking advantage of those op-

absolute peril, that’s why we have rules and regulations that are so tight. Yes we have a lot of compliance rules, but this gives us the edge.”

He used the example of New Zealand honey to highlight high regulations driving a higher price on the international market.

While we are the 16th largest exporter of honey, we rank third in terms of the value those exports generate.

To help small businesses reduce the amount of time they spent on issues such as compliance and HR, Mr Foss said a new website had been launched that was designed that provided templates for a range of documents as well as advice and statistics – business.govt.nz.

While information technology had opened new doors for small businesses, it had also opened up cyber security risks, and this would ultimately mean those businesses trading internationally would have to look at their own on-line security as part of international deals, Mr Foss said.

“The opportunities for small businesses have never been better. The tyranny of distance once gave a reason not to come to New Zealand to trade; now that reason has gone.”

■ ALLENTON SCHOOL

Parking woes continue

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

Allenton School’s principal is on a mission to combat a dangerous habit some parents have picked up.

Last month the school put out notices to parents to remind them not to use the school’s car parks following some near misses between vehicles and students.

However, principal Graham Smith said some parents are continuing to use the car parks to drop off and pick up students.

“This is forbidden, as it puts children into a high-risk situation.”

The only exceptions are those that have permission due to a specific disability.

The car parks on Harrison Street are dangerous because there is no turning bay on the road so the vehicles block the road stopping other cars getting past.

There are also blind spots when backing out of car spaces.

Mr Smith spent last week monitoring the area at pick up/drop off times and had spoken to any parents that were continuing to use the car parks.

He plans to keep monitoring the car parks this week and hopes parents have started to get the message.

“The majority of people coming into the car parks I would say have not been aware and haven’t been reading the newsletters.”

Once Mr Smith has reminded them of the rules and the dangers most of them stopped, he said.

There is also a group of parents that have started to support the principal and have been telling other parents to move if they see them in the car parks.

Parents are asked to park on Allens Road, Harrison Street and other surrounding streets instead.

Big day for Methven school Methven Primary School was a hive of activity as one of its new classroom blocks arrived by truck yesterday. The modern learning building, which is the equivalent of three classrooms, arrived at about 1pm after briefly closing the Rakaia Bridge due to its size. It will take about a month for the classrooms to be completed and be able to be used. Within that time the school will be receiving a second building, housing two classes, which is due to be in use sometime in August.

“LOCHLEA LIFESTYLE RESORT IS ALL ABOUT INDEPENDENT LIVING AND HERE YOU CAN DO AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU LIKE WHILE STILL ENJOYING LIFE AS YOU NORMALLY WOULD OUTSIDE OUR SECURE ENVIRONMENT”.

Some people believe that to live in a Lifestyle Resort such as ours means losing their independence. This is simply not correct. In our resort you will have your own space without any hassles. You are able to furnish your villa with your own furniture and personal items and decide how you wish to spend your days and with whom. The security of your villa is controlled by you and you should feel at home and absolutely secure in your environment.

Some people are concerned that when moving away from their family it means that no one will be around to help when needed. At our Resort we have built in security measures designed to reduce the worry that often comes from living along. Features are in place to respond quickly in the event that you need someone to help you.

Some people also believe that moving to a place of independent living means saying goodbye to hobbies such as gardening. Our residents will tell you that they are more active now than when they were living alone. Residents are still able to look after their own gardens if they so desire and in addition to this there are numerous other activities that they can pursue.

It is important to note that studies have shown that people who are active and engaged are healthier and happier. Activity programmes give all residents options and choices tailored to their specific needs, desires and lifestyles. They can also reduce the isolation felt when living alone.

■ SAFETY AND SECURITY

In brief

Rise in home burglaries Home break-ins are being raised to a priority offence in a police shake-up addressing the recent rise in burglaries.

In the last year the number of home burglaries had increased by 10 per cent said police commissioner Mike Bush.

“While burglary rates are still below that of recent years, [this rise] is of concern to police and something we are determined to tackle.”

Police were taking a number of steps to help prevent and resolve home burglary, including formally lifting the priority of

dwelling burglary (house breakins) from a ‘Volume’ crime to a Priority offence, with extra support from Intelligence groups, Mr Bush said.

There was also a nationallevel expectation that all house break-ins would be attended by constabulary or scene of crime officers within a reasonable time frame, something the Herald reported earlier this month following information received under the Official Information Act. “Police recognise the huge impact that dwelling burglary has on individuals, families and

communities. It is an invasive crime that seriously affects its victims,” Mr Bush said.

“Too often, New Zealanders are left with a diminished sense of safety and security as a result of their home being entered by an offender. Some – particularly older members of our community – can be left feeling more vulnerable as a result.”

Mr Bush said the steps showed police’s commitment to reducing this type of offending and supporting victims.

“Given the nature of policing there will be occasions where

we cannot attend a burglary for a range of reasons, including to adhere to the wishes of a victim,” he said.

“However, my intention for staff to attend the vast majority of these incidents is clear.”

The changes were expected to be completed in coming weeks, and staff would be “formally tasked” about the new approach within the next two months.

“These changes are designed to support the ongoing efforts of our people to deliver safer communities, free from victimisation.”

The other tickets were sold at stores in the North Island. Powerball First Division was not struck and has rolled over to Wednesday night where the jackpot will be $27 million.

House fire A large fire has damaged a Lower Hutt home. Emergency services were called to a “well involved” fire in a two-storey Penrose Street house at about 1pm yesterday.

Fire Service assistant area commander Matthew Abel said the fire started downstairs and began to spread. He understood there were three people in the house at the time and all escaped safely.

Six fire trucks attended the scene and the fire was extinguished “pretty quickly”.

Another arrest A seventh person has been arrested in relation to the country’s biggest meth bust in Northland two weeks ago. A 33-year-old man is due to appear in the Auckland District Court today, charged with importing a Class A drug, namely methamphetamine, possession of a Class A drug for supply, namely methamphetamine, and participating in an organised criminal group. The arrest comes after police seized an eye-watering 448kg haul of meth on a boat on 90 Mile Beach. Officers later recovered even more of the drug hidden in sand dunes – taking the haul up to a total of 494kg. It is New Zealand’s biggest drug bust to date.

The founder of Ashburton’s Fruit Fund is hoping to find someone new to take up the reins.

With very few volunteers and doing 90 per cent of the work herself, Deirdre Moses said she is now looking for someone with experience in running charities to become the charity’s new chairperson.

The organisation was founded in 2013 after Mrs Moses saw a need to provide Ashburton’s children with fresh fruit. It delivers fruit to schools, churches and other groups in Ashburton and the surrounding areas.

Becoming a registered charity, however, has created extra work for the founder, including the need to have regular meetings and keep minutes.

“I’m struggling with being in charge and keeping records and doing the paperwork,” she said.

Mrs Moses said she is happy to do the ground work with fruit fund, but she does not like doing the paper work and keeping records.

She’s looking for someone who has, ideally, worked with Fruit Fund and who understands the record keeping and paper work. She can be contacted on 3083913.

Nationalist rally turns ugly Ten people were wounded two of them with life-threatening injuries - when counter-protesters clashed with members of a white nationalist group that planned to rally outside the California state Capitol building in Sacramento, authorities said.

California Highway Patrol Officer George Granada said about 30 members of the Traditionalist Worker Party were gathering for a rally when they were met by about 400 counter-protesters and a fight broke out.

As people tried to leave the area, smaller fights broke out, Granada said.

Authorities were investigating what happened, but no arrests have been made.

The Capitol was on lockdown until protesters cleared the area.

Videos from the melee posted on social media showed mounted police officers dispersing a group of mostly young people, some with their faces covered, while some throw stones toward a man holding a stick and being shielded by police officers in riot gear.

Sacramento Fire Department spokesman Chris Harvey said nine men and one woman, ranging from 19 to 58 years old, were treated for stab wounds, cuts, scrapes and numberous bruises.

Of the injured, two were

Wounded men on the steps of the California state Capitol. taken to the hospital with lifethreatening stab wounds, Harvey said.

“There was a large number of people carrying sticks and rushing to either get into the melee or see what was going on,” he said.

The victims were all present while a protest took place, said Sacramento Police spokesman Matt McPhail but he said it was still unclear whether and how they were involved.

The Traditionalist Workers Party had scheduled and received a permit to protest in front of the Capitol.

McPhail said a group showed up to demonstrate against them.

The Southern Poverty Law Centre has described TWP, a group formed in 2015, as the political wing of the Traditionalist Youth Network, which aims to “indoctrinate high school and college students into white nationalism”.

Matthew Heimbach, chairman of the Traditionalist Worker Party, told the Los Angeles Times that his group and the Golden State Skinheads organised the rally.

Heimbach said that in the clash, one of their marchers had been stabbed in an artery and six of the counter-protesters had also been stabbed.

Vice-chairman Matt Parrott, who was not present at the

Sacramento rally, blamed “leftist radicals” for instigating the violence. A post recently uploaded to site of the Traditionalist Youth Network said TWP members planned to march in Sacramento to protest against globalisation and in defence of their right to free expression.

“We concluded that it was time to use this rally to make a statement about the precarious situation our race is in,” the Traditionalist Youth Network statement said.

The clash follows a confrontation in March between Ku Klux Klan members and counter-protesters in Anaheim, California in which three people were stabbed.

New reports claim investigators were “convinced” Michael Jackson “preyed on” his own nephews. According to the New York Post, “several sources involved in the criminal probe” said that was the case. Members of Jackson’s family were interviewed by police investigating his child molestation charges in 2004-2005, but it’s believed the pop star kept his family quiet with gifts and threats.

“We received a credible tip about the nephews and - as with many things that happened during the investigation - Jackson’s people got wind of it and Jackson spirited the one boy off to an island,” a former county detective told the Post. “Well, when that boy returned, Jackson had also purchased him a brand new car which we understood - along with the trip - was to shut the nephew up.”

Carey flaunts it Mariah Carey, never change. The 46-yearold singer, currently in Las Vegas for her #1s residency, fronted up to the Mirage Hotel for a DJ set over the weekend - but it appears she left her clothes at home.

The multi-million-selling singer and fiance to Australian billionaire James Packer looked to be enjoying herself in a skimpy outfit of black lacy lingerie, suspenders and a black leather jacket.

Carey’s all about flashing the flesh of late - last week she shared an eye-popping series of selfies in a revealing black lacy bra on Instagram. If you’ve got it, flaunt it. We’re eagerly awaiting whatever she’s got planned for her wedding dress.

Carey and Packer, who started dating in 2015, will marry later in the year.

Preparations for the no-doubt lavish wedding are being captured for a new eight-part E! ‘docu-series’ Mariah’s World, promising a fly-on-the-wall look at the diva’s globetrotting life.

OUR VIEW

Nothing accidental about Moko’s death Sue Newman

S

tand up and applaud the 100-plus Ashburton people who took time out of their busy lives yesterday to protest against the charging of two child killers with manslaughter rather than murder.

They were among the thousands across New Zealand who called for change when it comes to dealing with the mongrels who kill children.

In his three short years Moko Rangitoheriri was subjected to a string of horrific abuse eventually resulting in his death. Police charged his killers with murder, but through a plea bargain arrangement this was changed to manslaughter.

By every definition, manslaughter is an accidental killing.

Read the list of offences against this child; the abuse he was subjected to could only result in death. There was nothing accidental about the end of Moko’s life.

Yes, his killers were handed down the toughest sentence possible for their crime as charged, but to soften the edges of that crime by terming the death accidental shows just how far our society has moved away from the rights of the victim towards trying to find an excuse for the actions of the offenders.

It is a basic right of every child to live in safety and security, to be able to trust the people charged with their care and to believe those people will keep them safe. Sadly, in New Zealand, for too many children that does not happen.

We have an appalling level of child abuse. The cases at the extreme end make the headlines and as a nation we’re sickened, but for every one we hear about, there are hundreds of cases of abuse that fly below the radar, hundreds of children who live in fear, in pain, without the basic nurturing that should be their birthright.

As a nation we were galvanised to action by the sentencing of Moko’s killers. Loopholes in the law that allow the severity of a murder charge to be reduced must be closed. Child killers are murderers.

Kiwi kids continue to be abused by adults charged with their care. We say we’re taking action, but whatever we’re doing to stop this, it’s not working.

YOUR VIEW Blood donor bank Re your article in the Guardian on June 22.

It is always pleasing to see how people regularly turn up to give of their blood, however, said article explained that only 110,000 of our population give of this life-changing service.

Does this also include the hundreds of people who have been retired from the giving of their blood?

I was a donor for 55 years, starting off in Invercargill at the age of 16.

I gave my blood until I was 70 years of age.

When I arrived at that age and was told that I could no longer give blood, but that I was welcome to call any time to their rooms in Christchurch.

I came away feeling like a second-class citizen because my blood was no longer required.

It is such a worthwhile thing to do, knowing that you are helping another human being.

There are so many able-bodied folk out there who could donate.

Make this a challenge, folk of Ashburton and Mid Canterbury.

Sign up and be a part of this worthy cause.

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Have you tried coding?

No 72%

Yes 28%

Rick Powdrell FROM THE FARM

T

he past week two issues have had me thinking.

The first is the Brexit vote as to whether United Kingdom leaves the European Union.

It appears this vote has gone right to the wire with polls very close and a myriad of tactics being used to win voters over.

As readers, you will know the result by the time this article is published, but what has fascinated me has been the lack of information as to how an “out” result may affect little ole New Zealand.

A “remain” vote is easy, life goes on as normal, apart from a whole lot of rhetoric in the UK as to the right or wrongs of the outcome.

The big question for NZ of an “exit” vote is how it will affect trade both in the UK and EU. The proposed EU free trade proposal will certainly be stalled as the EU adjusts to a reduced membership with any future deal being a harder negotiation without the UK presence.

Follow that with the unknowns of trade arrangements between an independent UK and the EU and whether changes open doors for increased opportunities in the UK, EU or both, or neither.

The thing I have noticed in New Zealand is that as the polls got closer, the possibility of the UK exiting has attracted increased attention as the fear of the unknown consequences rises.

The result of this vote could well affect New Zealand in other areas, such as UK visitor entry regulations, should the political scene change following the result and the UK becomes unbridled from EU policies it is now bound to.

The second item that caught my attention was the news from China that their government wishes to reduce their citizens’ meat consumption by more than half.

Climate change enthusiasts immediately jumped on this claiming it would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by one billion tonnes by 2030. They predict the present rate of increased meat consumption would add 233 million tonnes over the same period.

However, the Chinese Government promoted the reduction based on concerns that increased

Facebook us! facebook.com/ ashguardian Tucking into a nice, juicy steak. meat consumption has led to a deterioration in health of their vast population.

Having recently been to China and witnessed the ongoing westernisation of their society one has to ask is this goal achievable?

Presently the average Chinese citizen consumes 63kg of meat per annum, with the government targeting a reduction of between 14 to 27 kg per person.

This is a significant reversal of a trend moving rapidly in the opposite direction.

China consumes 28 per cent of the world’s meat, including half the world’s pork.

So how will the Chinese Government achieve these reductions? I can’t see the population reducing their consumption voluntarily, so will the government enforce substantial reductions of livestock numbers and imports?

Then the population will need another food source to replace the withdrawn meat, can this be provided easily and at reasonable cost?

Your matters @AshGuardian

Subscribe at www.guardianonline.co.nz

In 1982 meat consumption per Chinese person was 13kg per annum, so the diet of that time may well be the answer except for the fact the population was far smaller than today.

We should closely follow this ambition into the future.

One thing particularly evident from my visit to China, when the government is serious about doing something they usually get it done.

■ PANAMA PAPERS

Foreign trust rules ‘inadequate’

BY ISAAC DAVIDSON The Government has confirmed a shake-up of foreign trusts following a review sparked by the Panama Papers.

Foreign-owned trusts based in New Zealand will be required to disclose more information when registering, which would allow regulatory authorities to search the register.

The trusts would also have to file annual returns, Finance Minister Bill English and Revenue Minister Michael Woodhouse said yesterday.

The inquiry by former PwC chairman John Shewan also recommended changes to New Zealand’s anti-money laundering rules.

His report said that foreign trusts were legitimate vehicles, but that disclosure rules needed to be strengthened.

“The inquiry concludes that the existing foreign trust disclosure rules are inadequate,” Mr

Shewan’s report said. “The rules are not fit for purpose in the context of preserving New Zealand’s reputation as a country that cooperates with other jurisdictions to counter money laundering and aggressive tax practises.”

Mr Shewan recommended a “significant” increase in the amount of information disclosed when trusts were first set up.

Annual reporting and increased enforcement would also address the issues raised in his inquiry, he said.

In theory, New Zealand’s tax disclosure rules and anti-money-laundering rules should be enough to deter tax abuses and ensure funds held in foreign trusts were from legitimate sources, the report said. “However, under current law and enforcement practices the risk of detection by authorities is low.

“The inquiry considers that the disclosure requirements can be justifiably described as lighthanded.”

The Shewan Inquiry was prompted by the leak of 11 million documents from Panama law firm Mossack Fonseca, which specialised in tax haven activity.

Mr Shewan found no evidence of illicit funds being hidden in New Zealand-based foreign trusts.

“However, based on the work undertaken, including a review of IRD files, the inquiry considers it is reasonable to conclude that there are cases where foreign trusts are used in this way.”

The current legislative settings, regulations, and disclosure rules created “both the potential and

eign trusts, which were reported to be attractive to offshore investors because of minimal disclosure requirements.

Prime Minister John Key initially defended the foreign trusts regime, saying that it included “full disclosure”. Mr Woodhouse described New Zealand’s tax rules as “world class”.

However, as pressure mounted, the Government launched a review into the disclosure rules for the trusts.

Mr Shewan’s review recommended major changes to the amount of information disclosed by a person or company setting up a foreign trust in New Zealand.

He said that a trust’s settlors, protector, non-resident trustees, and beneficiaries should disclose their name, email address, foreign address, country of tax residence, and tax numbers at the time of registration. This should be added to a register which was searchable only by regulatory authorities, he said.

The British public put away the plastic last weekend when a wave of caution ran through the country following the referendum result that has triggered the UK’s departure from the European Union, according to a senior Mastercard global executive.

“Just the announcement (of the referendum) was enough to see spending pulled back,” Sarah Quinlan, senior vice-president for market insights at Mastercard Advisors told BusinessDesk in an interview in Wellington.

But after Thursday’s Brexit vote, there had been a “dramatic” drop in credit card spending over last weekend, said the US-based executive, who is in New Zealand to advise on global consumer trends.

Spending had begun to pick up when the ‘Remain’ vote looked as if it might win.

“We had started to see travel picking up in the UK, had seen that kind of discretionary spending on jewellery and retail.

“To that now fall off is quite concerning,” she said, because prior to the referendum, the US and the UK were the only global economies whose consumer markets were turning in strong performances.

Now, it was down to the US, where consumer spending is strengthening in response to a sustained pick-up in economic conditions, although it appeared that major changes in spending habits that occurred after the 2008 recession in the US might turn out to be permanent changes in habits, she said.

Among the major changes are

that people are buying fewer highend luxury goods, fine dining is declining steeply despite dining out continuing to grow, and there was a trend towards “experiential” spending such as holidays, live entertainment, and activities involving family and friends rather than consumer goods purchases.

The death of the work wardrobe was also causing people to buy fewer clothes as they wore the same clothes both at work and at home or while undertaking leisure activities.

Other traditional luxury goods markets such as the Middle East, China and Russia were also suffering because those markets respectively were experiencing lower oil prices, a clampdown on ostentatious wealth displays and corruption, and international sanctions.

Sales of high-end watches, for example, were “just horrible”, Quinlan said.

“It’s no longer chic to be chic.

We can’t find that consumer anymore.

“I question whether they are ever going to come back.”

On the other hand, holiday trav-

el was exploding, American airline schedules and hotels were full and there was comparatively little discounting occurring, and Mastercard was seeing a significant increase in purchases of premium rather than economy airline seating by US travellers.

While New Zealand was holding up, in part because of spending by the rising tide of Chinese tourists, even their spending was lower on average than it had been.

She urged New Zealand tourism operators to consider targeting US tourists more actively and packaging offers that allowed busy people with no knowledge of the country to travel here.

Quinlan also debunked the widely held belief that online shopping is killing traditional retailers.

While New Zealand was remarkable for some 20 per cent of retail sales being online, high levels of online supermarket shopping were the driving factor in that outcome.

Elsewhere, online shopping is a much lower proportion of total sales, at 7 per cent in the US and 13 per cent in the UK. - NZME

MARKET REPORT Dairy At last, a welcome few days of consistent rain that was quickly adsorbed into the very dry sub soils.

Farmers report ideal cow wintering conditions with animals thriving over the winter period, although Southland again had cow deaths from poor transition on to fodder beet.

Breakouts through the hot-wires has been one main causes and farmers are being urged to be super careful when feeding this super feed.

As the calving season approaches up north, the focus has turned to bobby calf management, with new regulations and animal protest groups busy trying to discredit the sector on any misdemeanors.

There’s pessimism in the dairy market, with some analysts believing New Zealand’s turnaround is strongly linked to the European milkflows, which at present show little signs of easing.

The Brexit result will do nothing to build confidence and has already had a negative impact on currency values.

Australian analysts and Bega Cheese state, they believe there will be a delay in any milk upturn until at least 2017, when poor returns will finally lower milk flows and stimulate demand.

The milk derivative markets have been active, especially in trades for whole milk powder, as some are looking for more certainty in a decidedly uncertain market.

Lamb More falls in this week’s schedules as export prices drop again, disappointing winter finishers after looking promising a few weeks ago.

Volatile currencies appear to be the main cause of these falls, as processors report steady demand but lowering returns when the exchange rates of our main trading partners is factored in.

Stocks are diminishing, especially in the important Chinese market and with local numbers low, demand is building for processors to meet their regular chilled commitments.

The local trade schedules are lifting however, and some finishers maybe able to sell here to keep returns high.

Adding to the uncertainty is the indecision over the SFF/Shanghai Mayling deal, with one report stating it had stalled waiting for information to be sent to the OIO. On Friday it was revealed the two parties were working on agreeing on an extension.

Saleyard prices for prime and store lambs are steady, but while values compared to last year are $20 a head higher for unfinished lambs, prime lamb values are similar.

Wool The North Island wool auction saw a big offering, weak demand, and an unhelpful currency lower prices further in a disappointing end to the season.

All wool indicators are now back to yearly lows, and South Island vendors will be nervous for next week’s big sale.

Beef Beef schedules eased this week on the back of the currency but processors report NZ and Australian kill numbers are falling rapidly.

Local trade prices have held firm and prime steers sold at Canterbury saleyards are limited by the quality of animals offered.

Wintering conditions are excellent and those using fodderbeet are achieving above- average winter growth rates.

Deer Confusing signals from venison processors this week, with one company lifting by 20c/kg, and one dropping the schedule by a similar amount.

The Brexit will cause some confusion in the important British and European product destinations and the currency volatility is sure to influence farm gate returns.

■ YOUNG FARMER OF YEAR GRAND FINAL

Athol hard at work in lead-up to contest

By Michelle NelsoN

Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ten days out from kick-off Pendarves Young Farmers Club member Athol New has his nose to the grindstone preparing for this first crack at the Young Farmer of the Year Grand Final.

The 30-year-old dairy farm business manager is concentrating his efforts on all things nondairy at this stage in the game.

“I’ve been working on agriculture and business-related stuff, anything outside dairy really,” he said.

Mr New has worked in the dairy sector since graduating from university with a Bachelor of Agricultural Commerce, majoring in farm management, in 2006.

Currently Mr New works for Purata Farms managing a 2300-head herd, supplying Synlait Dairies processing plant in Dunsandel.

He has twice contested for the Aorangi spot in the grand final, taking third place in last year’s regional competition.

“The buzzer evening will probably be the biggest challenge,” he said.

Wife Jane is right behind the challenge.

“She’s been excellent support, helping with preparing for the contest,” he said.

“My own family lives in the North Island but Jane’s family has been great, introducing us to people, helping by organising modules for me to train up on.”

While hunting the honour of

Pendarves man Athol New is hoping to be the first to have his name engraved on The Young Farmer of the Year’s brand new trophy.

PHOTO SUPPLIED having his name be the first engraved on the contest’s brand new trophy is top priority, Mr New said the grand finalist experience had already proven invaluable.

“It really does open doors to high-quality advice. I’ve had access to some very smart business-

people – it’s been great really,” he said.

While the herd has been dried off for the season, work never ends from Mr New’s point of view.

“Now I’m involved in the business management side of the operation it never stops, even in the

winter,” he said.

Pendarves Young Farmers Club has a proud history within the competition, turning out two winners and five grand finalists in the past two decades.

The 48th Young Farmer of the Year Grand Final will open in Timaru on July 7 when the seven grand finalists will be grilled on their theoretical knowledge at Raincliff Station before heading into town to tackle the Head to Head challenge at the Piazza overlooking Caroline Bay. The first day will wind up with the agri-knowledge quiz and speech rounds in a departure from tradition.

The gruelling practical day will test their skills in a wide range of farming tasks and gut-busting agri sports on Friday.

The winner will be announced on Saturday night before a packed audience at The Southern Trust Centre taking home an $80,000 prize package and the coveted Cloak of Knowledge.

Also contesting for the title is Whangarei dairy farmer Jake Thomson representing the Northern Region, livestock farmer Logan Wallace representing Otago/ Southland, Pete Fitz-Herbert, dubbed the contest’s version of Bear Grylls, representing Taranaki/Manawatu, James Hoban from Tasman. Landcorp business manager Tony Dowman, competing for the East Coast region and Calvin Bell, representing Waikato/ Bay of Plenty.

Athol New demonstrates the form represent the Aorangi region at th the Year Contest.

Does Silver Fern Farms delay spell SHEXIT?

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

which saw him selected to his year’s Young Farmer of

A group of shareholders opposing the deal to sell off 50 per cent of Silver Fern Farms to Shanghai Maling view the delay of a special meeting to be held in Dunedin next month as a sign of hope.

SFF announced it had applied for an extension to the June 30 date to receive OIO (Overseas Investment Office) approval for the $260 million joint venture deal on Saturday and deferred the special meeting in anticipation of the OIO request being granted.

The deal requires approval from the OIO and would be finalised by cabinet ministers Paula Bennett and Louise Upston.

An OIO spokesperson said the office could not indicate when the Shanghai Maling application would be passed to the relevant ministers.

John Shrimpton, who farms Glenthorne Station in the upper Rakaia Gorge is part of a group of about 80 dissident shareholders.

Opposed to the legalities of the Shanghai Maling deal, the group had demanded a special resolution vote, which was to have taken place on July 11.

Mr Shrimpton, who is SFFs largest single shareholder, said the decision could be a sign the Chinese company was losing interest.

The group has dubbed the move SHEXIT and criticised the company for not having the courtesy to inform the requisition group at the same time the announcement was made on Saturday.

“As far as we’re concerned, SFF is now bound to hold the special meeting and it should proceed to do so as soon as possible.

“It is not in shareholders’ best interests for SFF to attempt to deny shareholders a proper vote on the proposed sale for what would be a fourth time.

The group is forging on with

Above right – Silver Fern Farms chief executive Dean Hamilton says both parties remain committed to the deal. scheduled meetings for shareholders in Cheviot tonight and South Canterbury and Ranfurly tomorrow.

“We will also continue to correspond with the relevant stakeholders as to our concerns as shareholders,” Mr Shrimpton said.

“It really does indicate that Shanghai Maling may well not be interested in playing ball any longer.

“An article has already run in Australia suggesting that Shanghai Maling ‘is thought to have walked away’ from the proposed transaction.

“Perhaps that is what is unfold-

ing here. The acid test will be at the end of this coming week on Friday.

“Given it has been reported that the OIO is awaiting a reply from Shanghai Maling and that no extension was mutually agreed with SFF by the end of last week, I wouldn’t be surprised if the documentation is left to quietly lapse.

“That would mean that SFF would unquestionably continue with business under its current ownership as from this coming Friday and we can start to put this whole, messy chapter behind us.

“Any prudent board would already have contingency plans in

place for that.”

Silver Fern Farms said in a statement that both parties remained committed to the transaction but needed more time for ministers’ approval and the OIO requests.

The company said they were in the process of agreeing an extension to the June 30, 2016, date to meet the OIO approval condition.

“We continue to believe that we will achieve OIO approval, however, we need to allow more time to provide the required information and then for the OIO and ministers to have sufficient time to review,” chief executive Dean Hamilton said in the statement.

So many museums to visit

By Tanya Zoe RoBinson

I

recently had the pleasure of spending a long day visiting all of the museums in our district.

It was a great way to learn more about the rich heritage that we share and a good reminder of how important museums are to our communities. They only exist because they are so popular.

I was surprised to discover that there are 13 museums in our district – including 12 heritage museums and one art gallery. All are open to the public.

It’s easy to forget that art galleries are also museums – yet they exhibit, interpret, collect and share and follow international museum conventions too. This is why many art galleries are called art museums, especially internationally.

The number of museums we have locally seems unusually high for the size of the district and much larger than our neighbouring regions get to enjoy. If we need any proof that our heritage is as significant and valued as well-known neighbours, such as Timaru and Oamaru with their heritage streetscapes, our museums are the evidence.

One kind of museum that I didn’t get to visit this time were wharenui at local marae. Many consider these to be New Zealand’s first museums – community places that share knowledge, treasure heritage and are interested in the past, present and future of their communities. Of course, marae also do much more than this. In many ways they are models for museums today.

Our local museums cover a huge variety of interests. From the big boys’ toys of fire engines and farm machinery, to tiny turned wooden objects, and mineral samples, there really is something for everyone in these heritage and art collections.

On my visits, I saw museums that were largely contained in just one room, such as at the Foothills Museum in Mount Somers. Then in contrast, the huge railway warehouses needed for the enormous train and fixed engines at the Plains Museum in Tinwald.

That complex also houses the Lynn Woodworking Museum – a collection of wood-turning and hand tools reputed to be the best in the world. They regularly welcome international specialists who travel especially to see their collections.

Aircraft hangars are needed to house the planes at Ashburton Aviation Museum near the airport, yet at Corwar Gatekeeper’s Lodge, everything is housed in one tiny cottage.

I also discovered that museums are expanding around the district. When I visited, the Methven Historical Society had the first structural steel in place ready to support their new library and museum centre.

Ashburton Fire Museum was fundraising. Plans are in place to expand their facilities that house fire equipment, right back to the first 1874 fire brigade and the famous fire appliance, Pride of Ashburton.

Above – An undated photograph of Corwar Lodge when occupied, on display inside the house museum.

Below left – Corwar Gatekeeper’s Lodge today – worth a visit.

Below right – Interior view of a bedroom in the cottage.

This article is the beginning of an intermittent series on the enviable riches housed around the district and the work that they do for our heritage and community. This week the focus is on Corwar Lodge – a tiny museum near Barrhill.

The day that I visited I was very fortunate to be given a tour of the inside of the cottage by custodian Vivian Campion.

Corwar Lodge is an interesting kind of museum – it’s more house museum than any other type. As a house museum, the building and surrounds are an important part of the collection, and the objects inside are all on display to

give a sense of what the cottage would have been like in the past.

Together, inside and out combine to help us interpret the past.

The cottage is a Category A listed building under the Ashburton District Plan, meaning its significance is recognised as having regional significance, with restrictions that govern its preservation.

Corwar Lodge is a small building, just 46 sq m, its walls constructed of concrete. It was built in the 1870s for John Cathcart Wason, the owner of Corwar Estate and creator of the beautiful, and, now historic, Barrhill Village.

The lodge was built as a gate-

house for Corwar Homestead, the large mansion that Wason had built to overlook the Rakaia River.

This was the formal entrance.

Another entrance for workmen was positioned further along the road. It was the gatekeeper’s job to open the main gates for people arriving at the property and to direct them up to the main house.

The kitchen-living room of the tiny house is the first room entered. It has a pantry beyond, and, to the right, two connected bedrooms. These are arranged so that the fireplace for cooking and heating is central. Apparently its heat warmed through the thick concrete walls and helped keep

an even temperature year round.

Many families lived in these four tiny rooms. With the furniture, embroideries, textiles, pots, pans, pictures and household fittings in place, it becomes possible to imagine how a family could live here.

While I enjoyed my visit, I think I enjoyed peeking through the tiny windows from outside and imagining the stories told around the fire. This is how most people get to experience Corwar Gatekeeper’s Lodge. It’s well worth a drive in the country. I also recommend a stop at Barrhill Village just along the road to imagine the wider story.

In brief Locke eyes AB jersey Kevin Locke may have just signed to play for an Australian rugby team, but his dream is to play for New Zealand o.nce again. “If I enjoy playing, I wouldn’t mind coming back to New Zealand and playing for a super rugby team,” Locke said. “All Blacks is the ultimate goal. But with the amount of talent there is [in NZ], it’s not an easy task.”

Moody re-signs with NZ All Blacks and Crusaders’ loosehead prop Joe Moody has re-signed with New Zealand Rugby and his Super Rugby club for another three years through to 2019. Moody made his Super Rugby debut in 2013 and a year later showed the ability to perform at the highest level when he was called into the All Blacks during the 2014 Rugby Championship. He has now played 14 Tests, including last year’s Rugby World Cup Final, and was also a key part of the All Blacks’ commanding 46-6 win over the Welsh at the weekend. - NZME

The tie ended 17-17 as usual – with the score less of a priority than an enjoyable day on the rugby patch.

MSA Evergreens team manager Bryan Donaldson said the game

and post-match meal was enjoyed by all.

“It was a very good game, we don’t really keep score but it was close,” he said.

“We have a great relationship

with the guys from Kirwee.

“We’ve been playing them on and off for 20-odd years, so there’s some good friendships there and there’s always a meal and socialising afterwards.”

The Chiefs and Crusaders will make history this week, with thousands of fans counting down to the first ever Super Rugby game in Fiji. New Zealand’s top two rugby franchises take their round 15 clash to Suva on Friday, where a hefty contingent will make the trip over from New Zealand, including Fijian-born former All Black Joeli Vidiri. But, Vidiri says, it’s the locals who will be most excited. “It’s going to be a full house in the national stadium and it’s going to be a big night mate, our people have been waiting for this for a long, long time,” said Vidiri.

The Australian-born England coach will head to the world’s premier annual cycling event, the Tour de France, in the next couple of weeks. “I’ve had a few conversations and I’m getting to have a look at what they do,” Jones said. “I’ve got to get better because if our side is not consistent then our coaching is not good enough.”

Moala right in the mix After a successful return to the All Blacks which ended an 11-month stretch since his test debut, George Moala faces a lay-off with an elbow injury. But he can console himself with the knowledge he is now a genuine contender for coach Steve Hansen’s ABs midfield. The 25-year-old was a pleasant surprise against Wales in Dunedin – running powerfully, as we know he can do, and scoring a try from close to the line which he also does regularly for the Blues.

But he also showed pace and footwork and a little more finesse than perhaps was expected.

Malakai Fekitoa appeared the No13 incumbent after starting the first two tests of the series outside Ryan Crotty, but the centre has a powerful rival looming in his rear vision mirror.

Germany stamped their authority on the game from the start and could even afford a Mesut Oezil penalty miss as Jerome Boateng in the eighth minute and Mario Gomez in the 43rd put them two goals ahead before the break.

Julian Draxler hooked in the third in the 63rd minute to crown a superb man-of-the-match performance by the Wolfsburg midfielder.

Hemsley hat-trick leads rout

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury A claimed top spot on the women’s division one points ladder with an emphatic 7-0 hiding of FC Twenty 11 at the Ashburton Domain on Sunday.

Mid Canterbury led 5-0 at halftime thanks to a hat-trick from

Georgina Hemsley and a goal each from Amy Pearson and Maggie Tarry.

Pearson added another in the second stanza and Neysa Koizumi also found the net to round off a clinical display.

Mid Canterbury have not conceded in their last three outings, and captain Fran Clarke is hop-

ing her backline’s solid form will continue.

“We haven’t let any goals in recently which is really good and our strikers are starting to finish their chances,” she said.

Mid Canterbury have two challenging ties in the next fortnight against title rivals Halswell United and Western AFC rebels.

Meanwhile Mid Canterbury B picked up a 4-2 victory over Cashmere in their morning fixture on Sunday.

After leading 2-1 at halftime, Cashmere levelled proceedings three minutes into the second half before Mid Canterbury added two more to wrap up three points.

Euro party continues on for Wales Wearing a red shirt and white shorts just like daddy, Alba Violet Bale danced around the Parc de Princes field in celebration with her father.

The 3-year-old girl hasn’t been seeing much of Gareth Bale lately, and the Welsh nation will be hoping they’ll have to wait a bit longer before being able to spend any quality time together.

After all, there’s a European Championship journey to continue.

It’s largely thanks to Bale that the first tournament appearance

by Wales in 58 years is going to last at least another week after a cagey 1-0 win over Northern Ireland yesterday put the Welsh into the quarter-finals.

There was no fourth goal of Euro 2016 for Bale, but his contribution for the game’s only score – a Northern Ireland own-goal – was invaluable.

The forward whipped in a cross in the 75th minute aimed at teammate Hal Robson-Kanu

but inadvertently turned into the net by Northern Ireland defender Gareth McAuley.

“We knew it was going to be a difficult game for the attacks especially to get space,” Bale said.

“But the team as a whole worked incredibly well and we spoke before the game about moving the ball, making them tired and ultimately they would make mistakes.

“We had the one moment of quality and forced them into a mistake and that won us the game.”

Then Bale got his chance to be reunited with his daughter after a Euro 2016 expedition that began with friendlies in May. “To be able to share it with my daughter and my family was emotional for me,” Bale said after leaving the field at the home of Paris Saint-Germain.

“Obviously I haven’t seen them for four or five weeks now.

“It’s an amazing experience, one I’ll never forget. And our am-

Gareth Bale with daughter Alba.

bition is to keep fighting on.”

Meanwhile Antoine Griezmann again rescued France from another patchy and nervous performance at the European Championship.

The diminutive forward’s two quick goals early in the second half yesterday helped see off a spirited Ireland side 2-1, sealing

a spot in the quarter-finals.

“It was great to score in front of my family, who were here to watch,” said Griezmann, who grew up in Macon, about 60 kilometers (37 miles) from Lyon.

“I feel a bit like I’m from this city.”

Ireland had surprised the home crowd at Stade de Lyon with Robbie Brady’s penalty in the second minute, and French nerves were fraying.

Enter Griezmann.

The Atletico Madrid forward equalized against Ireland with a powerful header from near the penalty spot in the 58th following a cross from right back Bacary Sagna.

Three minutes later, he collected a headed knockdown from striker Olivier Giroud, took one touch inside the area and then composed himself before slotting the ball inside the right post.

France will next face either England or Iceland in the quarter-finals in Saint-Denis.

Matthew Wade rallied with the bat then Mitch Marsh roared with the ball as Australia defeated West Indies by 58 runs in the ODI tri-series final in Barbados. Steve Smith’s side crashed to be 6-173 in the 37th over after the skipper won the toss, but Wade’s fine unbeaten 57 helped the visitors bat out their overs and scrape together a total of 9-270. The hosts were rolled for 212 in 45.4 overs as Josh Hazlewood cleaned up the Windies’ tail to grab figures of 5-50.

Black Sticks crash New Zealand’s disappointing Champions Trophy campaign ended on a losing note in London yesterday.

That meant the world No 4 Black Sticks leave the tournament with just one win, one draw and four defeats.

■ HARNESS RACING

Peaking at the right time

By Michael Guerin One of the greats of New Zealand harness racing doesn’t get to see his newest Alexandra Park winner very often.

But you can rest assured, John Butcher is watching when Sunset Peak is winning.

The former Canterbury trotting mare made it two wins from four starts in the north at Alexandra Park on Friday night, leading throughout as she did two starts ago.

She is trained by John and his son David, although truth be known John doesn’t get down to the stables much anymore.

The 80-year-old patriarch of one of New Zealand’s great racing families is suffering from lung problems which restrict how much physical activity he can undertake.

But it doesn’t stop him watching races on television or keeping up with the industry goingons via the computer.

“He knows everything that goes on in the game, he is the

M3

one who tells me,” says David.

“But with the lung problem he has got he doesn’t leave the house much.

“He is a lot better if he doesn’t over exert himself.”

The father and son have been training in partnership for years but rarely have they had a trotter able to win twice so quickly at Alexandra Park.

It helped that Sunset Peak came north well educated by owner Paul McDonald, a Canterbury builder who was training her himself.

“I think Paul thought with winter coming and all the work he had on she was better off up here,” explains David.

“So Craig Thornley, who had been driving her, put him on to us and she is a lovely horse to get hold of.

“To win two so quickly at The Park doesn’t happen very often and you would think she will get down to being a 3:30 trotter (for 2700m stand).

“And that is probably good enough to get her at least five

Zac Butcher, third generation in the Butcher stable. wins because when they trot 3:30 off the front they are hard to catch.

“The other night she trotted her last three quarters (1200ms) in about even time so the ability is there.”

The Butchers have never been huge trainers of trotters but have two recent winners in that gait, the other being Larch, among the 9-10 horses they are training.

“Soon half the horses at Alexandra Park will be trotters,” jokes

Butcher about the new-found depth of the gait in the north.

“And they are ideal for up here, races every week and for good money.

“So to have a nice one right now is a real bonus.”

Sunset Peak’s win capped a good night for the family as earlier David’s son Zac drove Atomic Betty to break her maiden and he can probably claim an unofficial training success with Hug The Wind in the $20,000 Smith And Partners Winter Cup. Zac has been in charge of the Barry Purdon stable while the boss has taken a small holiday and had Hug The Wind well enough for driver Brent Mangos to launch him as only Mangos does in the main pace.

Aided by a brilliant beginning which gave him field position, Hug The Wind worked forward to get the lead and was way too good in a race where new stablemate New Years Jay also caught the eye when eventually placed third, promoted from fourth.

■ BASKETBALL

TRADES, SERVICES

Ashcoll expecting tough encounter Ashburton College boys’ and girls’ senior basketball teams head to Christchurch tonight for a double date with Middleton Grange.

The girls’ sides are equal on 14 points, though Ashcoll sits one above in fourth on the ladder courtesy of a better points differential. They will be in for a tight tussle with top four placings at stake.

It is similar for the boys, with Ashcoll in eighth place on the ladder with 10 points and the hosts ninth on nine points.

The boys’ competition will change following tonight’s round.

The top two teams from division two will be promoted and division one will split into two pools for further play.

Both Ashcoll sides are celebrating four players being named in an All Stars line-up for one-off East v West games in Christchurch on July 8, the last Friday of term.

Josh Lowe and Fletcher Arnold have been included in the West boys’ lineup, while Ashlee Strawbridge and Libby Ross are in the girls’ team.

The Thompson Trophy and Whelan Trophy competition will take a break over the school holidays and resume July 26.

Both contests will wrap up just before the South Island secondary schools’ championships that start on August 31; the boys’ tournament will be hosted by Basketball Mid Canterbury at the EA Networks Centre and the girls will be in Christchurch.

Hampstead held to a draw

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid-South Canterbury women’s hockey division one leaders Hampstead were held to a 1-1 draw on Saturday, while fellow Ashburton side Hampstead-Collegians recorded an impressive 5-1 win over Timaru Girls’ High School.

Hampstead took the lead thanks to a fine finish from Gabby Muschamp in Timaru, but Geraldine drew level with 10 minutes remaining to share the points.

Coach Rex Turnball said it was a pleasing performance, despite not picking up the win, and credited his young players for making the step up in the absence of key senior personnel.

“We had seven players unavailable so we got a couple of young players up and

they did a good job for us,” he said.

“We’re really proud of the girls’ performance.”

Hampstead-Collegians produced a solid display throughout their one-sided match up with Timaru Girls’ High.

Coach Karen McIntyre was pleased with her side’s efforts and hopes the win will lead to more consistency.

“It was very good, they came out firing from the first whistle and everyone played well,” she said.

“It was a good team performance.”

Hampstead will next be in action against TGHS on Saturday with the Mary Smith Trophy up for grabs in a battle of the best teams from Mid Canterbury and South Canterbury, while Hampstead-Collegians face Craighead.

28/6

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): As for this recent baffling twist, don’t try to figure it all out. At the very least, it will be more fun not to know right away. And if you never find out – the mystery is delicious. Milk it.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): It’s a day for physical daring and endeavouring to act before thinking about whether you should. The result might be a performance of stunning grace, but there are other risks you’d be wise to consider as well.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): There’s some excitement, and it will enhance your experience of the day as long as you remain slightly detached.

The drama will be fun if you take a step back and refuse to be overly serious about it.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ll probably have to alter your plan in order to accommodate weird circumstances in the morning. Your flexible attitude will contribute greatly to your success.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Everything is aligned. You say what you want, and then you do it. Your purpose is unencumbered by doubt or obstacle. Your focus is narrow and laser-sharp. Go! VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): When you distance yourself from the forces that would rob you of peace, you’re not running away: You’re protecting and fortifying yourself so you can bring the best “you” to life.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Small-scale trials, tests and transformations are getting you ready for the bigger changes life will surely bring. Think of this afternoon’s test as a drill for the real deal.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Beware those who would benefit from you thinking the solution to the problem can be bought in a product. If this could be bottled, it would be the most popular product on earth.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The thing you used to do for fun may now seem quite the opposite, but that’s the nature of fun: risk and reward are all a part of the equation. It’s time to search for new fun now.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Success is simple for you today. Do what you say you’ll do. This is made even easier if you don’t say you’ll do anything, freeing yourself up completely for a change.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Everyone has a heart, but not everyone leads with it like you do today.

You’ll wind up at a magical destination, all because you followed your heart’s dictates.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): If you’re not careful, your tangents will go off on tangents until you are so far from the main road (conversationally, geographically, creatively or otherwise) that it’ll take a major transportation upgrade just to get back.

Waratahs release Zac Former All Blacks winger Zac Guildford has left the Waratahs, cutting short his Super Rugby season. Guildford has headed back to New Zealand after the Waratahs secured the return of giant Wallabies winger Taqele Naiyaravoro as they attempt to clinch a finals berth. The 27-year-old arrived at the Waratahs on a short-term deal with a troubled past and, despite an injury setback with a broken toe, performed creditably in his seven matches. He has signed to play provincial rugby for Tasman in the NPC competition.

Fury denies allegations Lydia Ko was her normal calm, cool and collected self for the vast majority of her last round at Arkansas yesterday.

Ko collects win no. 13 New Zealand’s Lydia Ko won the NW Arkansas Championship yesterday for her third LPGA Tour victory of the year, closing with a 3-under 68 for a tournament-record 17-under total and a three-stroke victory.

The 19-year-old has 13 career LPGA Tour victories, also winning the Kia Classic and major ANA Inspiration in consecutive weeks in Southern California.

She broke the previous tournament record by two strokes.

Ko has finished sixth or better in each of her four appearances at Pinnacle Country Club, and she has shot under par in all 12 rounds.

Morgan Pressel, tied for the lead with Ko at 14 under entering the day, had a 71 to tie for second with Candie Kung (69).

Pressel was the clubhouse leader by two shots on Sunday afternoon before Ko shot a backnine 28 and tied her at 14 under with an eagle on the par-5 18th.

The New Zealander, who became the youngest two-time major winner in LPGA history at the ANA Inspiration, wasted little time in taking control of the tournament after teeing off today.

Playing in the final pairing with Pressel, Ko birdied four of her first five holes – only settling for

a par once in the five-hole stretch when narrowly missing a short birdie putt on the par-3 third.

After Pressel bogeyed the par5 second, Ko went from even to three shots clear of the field after only two holes.

And that was just the start of Ko’s final-round coronation on a 6330-yard course she’s tamed in each of her four tournament appearances.

Ko has shot below 70 in 11 of her 12 rounds at Pinnacle, including matching the course record won Sunday.

Ko fell back to 17 under with a bogey on No. 6, but stayed two shots clear of Pressel with a 30-

foot birdie putt on the eighth.

She then reached 19 under with a birdie on the 246-yard par-4 10th, well on her way to topping the previous tournament low of 15 under – set by Seon Hwa Lee in 2008.

Pressel stayed within two shots of Ko for much of the round, however, she unraveled with a poor tee shot on the 11th – leading to the first of four straight bogeys that took Pressel, who is still in search of her first victory since 2008, out of contention.

Ko, atop the world rankings for the last 35 weeks, earned $300,000.

Warriors re-focus with Titans clash looming

BY DAVID SKIPWITH The Warriors are buoyed by their gritty effort in their golden point defeat to Cronulla but halfback Shaun Johnson says they need to reproduce that energy in Saturday’s home clash

against the Gold Coast.

The Warriors were left hurting after Saturday’s 19-18 extra time loss to the competition leading Sharks, and they need to quickly refocus before meeting the Titans at Mt Smart Stadium in a clash that could

impact heavily on their finals hopes.

The heartbreaking result ended the Warriors three-game winning run to see them drop one place to occupy 11th position on the NRL ladder on 16 points, to sit one spot behind

the Titans on for and against.

Johnson said his side had room for further improvement and a victory over the Titans ahead of next week’s second bye round would give their top eight prospects a timely fourpoint boost.

World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has denied an allegation of doping after a British Sunday newspaper said he was under investigation. “We are baffled by today’s story in the Sunday Mirror,” said a statement issued by the boxer’s promoter Hennessy Sports.

“Tyson Fury absolutely denies any allegation of doping. He looks forward to recovering from his injury and defending his titles against Wladimir Klitschko in October.”

Brexit hurts Wimbledon The sky’s falling in, the apocalypse is nigh so go and gather two of every animal post-haste. That was the reaction after Brexit and tennis players were among those cursing the shock result. Brexit saw stock markets around the world go into freefall, and at one point, the pound dropped to its lowest level in 31 years. That was bad news for those heading to Wimbledon. ESPN reporter Darren Rovell tweeted that the sterling’s devaluation saw the winner’s prizemoney drop from $US3 million ($NZ4.2 million) down to US$2.7m (NZ$3.8m).
