Ashburton kitemaker Peter Lynn was among those celebrating Team New Zealand’s victory in the 35th America’s Cup campaign yesterday – it’s not that many years ago his kite technology was being considered as cutting edge for the Kiwi boat.

Lynn has been a passionate follower of the challenger and cup series at Bermuda over the past month, knowing innovation and technology had combined

to make one very special, fast boat.

His son Robert was a development engineer for Team New Zealand in 2003 when it unsuccessfully defended the cup in Auckland; that same campaign the Ashburton kite company was also asked to build a kite spinnaker for the monohulled yachts to be raced in the Hauraki Gulf for the 31st campaign.

“There was a rumour that the American team was going to come out with a kite to power their boat instead of a spinnaker. As it happened we knew the

people who had developed this because kitemaking is a small world,” Lynn said.

Team New Zealand wanted the kite theory tested and the Ashburton team obliged, building some kites that qualified as spinnakers and testing them on Lake Hood.

The technology was later tested in Auckland and discarded.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

D-Day for civic centre, library By sue NewMaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

After six months of delays, debates and discussions Ashburton’s district councillors are back at square one when it comes to deciding the site for Ashburton’s new civic centre and library.

In the last term of council and after months of work by consultants and several rounds of community consultation, the preferred site option for the new complex was Baring Square East, the site of the old county council building and land owned by the Methodist Church.

With local body elections looming, the last team of councillors believed it was fair to leave the final sign off in the hands of the newly elected councillors, perhaps believing this was a formality. It was not.

Rather than signing the deal, several new councillors wanted other options explored and the project revisited. They wanted land at Ashburton College to be thrown back in the mix and they wanted to take another look at all options, including a two site option.

The college site was quickly proven unsuitable, but several councillors were still keen to explore the option of two sites rather than the single site option recom-

mended by consultants Opus Architecture. Investigations showed that two sites would add $3 million to the build cost.

Along the way the council’s project control group that was made up of a small number of councillors, staff and consultants was replaced (at councillors’ request) with a group that included all councillors.

A further report was prepared summarising the site selection process and tomorrow councillors will be asked to nail their colours to the mast and show their support for the original proposal – a co-build on land in Baring Square East.

They will vote on the following recommendation: “That council confirms the Baring Square East (old County Council building and Methodist Church) site as the preferred site to build a combined new Administration and Library building, subject to agreeing appropriate commercial terms.”

If they agree, then the council will enter into negotiations with adjoining land owners to purchase additional land. The proposal gives a three-month timeframe for negotiations to be completed. If this does not occur then the next preferred site will be considered.

This option does not include the Methodist Church.

Rachel Maw is off to Auckland.

Annie’s a finalist for Top Shop Award

By Michelle NelsoN

Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s Annie’s Country Quilt Store has been named as a national finalist for the People’s Choice Award in the 2017 Retail NZ Top Shop Awards.

Rachel Maw owns the shop which specialises in patchwork, quilting and stitching supplies.

On Monday evening she learned the shop was one of two national People’s Choice finalists for the region running from the top of the South Island as far south as Timaru at a VIP function in Christchurch.

A mystery shopper had visited the shop earlier and customers had turned out to vote online.

business’s website and social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook drawing new customers.

“We also use mobile phones to send photos of fabric – once we had to send snippets of fabric and it would have taken three days each way, however the immediacy has become both and advantage and a challenge,” Maw said.

“It also gives us access to our suppliers around the world.”

Annie’s Country Quilt Store has become a destination for international customers, due to its online presence.

More than 600 entries were received nationally for the 2017 Top Shop Awards.

Maw won the Best New Shop Award when she opened for business 15 years ago, inspired by her love of fabrics and craft work.

Twelve months ago she and husband Robbie took on the Bernina sewing machine franchise, and were recently awarded the top Bernette retailer for the company.

A lot has changed since Maw opened the doors to the century-old pioneer cottage on the outskirts of Tinwald.

The shop has always stopped tourist traffic, but over the years has steadily built up a loyal customer base.

The internet has also changed the name of the game, with the

After-ball dependent on support

By Michelle NelsoN

Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

A decision has yet to be made as to whether Ashburton College senior students will go ahead with an after-ball party on Friday evening.

Students were asked to indicate whether they intended to attend the now alcohol-free event yesterday, and interest will be gauged today.

The ‘dry’ event will not proceed if interest is insufficient, the stu-

dents were told on Monday after learning of the alcohol ban.

The decision came in the wake of a recent directive for a zero-tolerance stance against BYO alcohol events, from the national commissioner of police.

Anyone organising an event involving ticket sales, where attendees supply their own alcohol will be in breach of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 and could be liable for a $20,000 fine. Those at-

tending could be fined up to $2000.

Ashburton police senior sergeant Scott Banfield said Mid Canterbury colleges were out of step with what was happening in the rest of the country, following a decision made two years ago.

“Every June I get phone calls from groups/parents/schools wondering how they can keep everyone happy – it is illegal to sell/supply alcohol to minors or provide a place of resort and in to-

day’s world you would have to be a very brave or naive organisation or group or individual to support or take responsibility for such an event,” he said.

“On one hand around New Zealand Local Alcohol Plans (LAPs) are coming into force due to the considerable harm alcohol causes in our communities, but on the other hand communities want to provide an illegal safe haven for minors to consume alcohol.

“Sorry but no is still part of the English language, policing is about enforcing the laws of the land and as a professional organisation we have provided advice so that organisers can make informed decisions.”

Banfield issued a reminder that the Ashburton policing team had been tolerant around this topic but there are huge risks around this type of event and the risk to the organisers who choose to proceed.

Sharing Pasifika culture, traditions at workshop

By Michelle NelsoN

Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Pasifika culture and traditions were on the agenda at a workshop in Ashburton yesterday.

Reverend Tevita Taufalele, minister of the Ashburton Methodist parish, spoke about his journey from his Tongan homeland to New Zealand.

Armed with an address and a school certificate accounting pass, he arrived in Auckland more than 30 years ago.

“I didn’t know what an address was; and now I had to read a map – in Tonga you don’t have an address we just know where everyone is, or someone tells you to go and see the man who lives past the big mango tree,” he said.

His second problem was the airport queue.

“I didn’t know what a queue was, so I just went up to the front.”

Tevita said this was a good example of how people from different cultures misunderstood each other.

He headed off to study law, theology and history at Otago University, eventually settling to

devote his life to his faith.

In the years that followed he has seen the ups and downs and trials and tribulations faced by newcomers to his adopted

country. “Communication is a major obstacle in understanding for Pasifika families; if people are not responding they probably don’t understand you – maybe

you are speaking too fast?”

Other things, like fine print for example, are often a trap for newcomers, who wind up in financial trouble after falling prey

to cunning advertising campaigns.

“Many people don’t really know what’s going on – their English is limited.”

“Never hesitate to ask Pasifika people to repeat what was said or what was meant,” Tevita said.

“Speak slowly and try to speak clearly – don’t forget for many people English is their second language.”

He tries to encourage newcomers to participate in the community by walking alongside them rather than telling them what to do, and asked that longer term residents did the same.

“You can’t change the identity of people – you can only walk alongside,” he said.

If unsure about customs and traditions, “don’t assume, always ask”.

The workshop was the second in a series run in collaboration with the Ashburton Newcomers’ Network, Volunteering Ashburton and the Ashburton Museum.

Lena Ainu’u from the Ashburton Fa’a Pasifika Playgroup also spoke to a full house at the Ashburton Masonic Lodge.

Candidates admit work needed to lift profiles

work to do and was looking forward to meeting people and hearing what their concerns and aspirations were.

“Both Andrew and I are new faces from a political perspective.

“I think that closer to elections when my hoardings are up and the campaigning gets busier, people will be more aware of who I am,” Luxton said.

“It’s interesting the amount of people who I have spoken to on the phone who have said they don’t take much notice and just vote for the candidate who represents the party they vote for, but then other people are really engaged and say they will wait until they get more information,” she said.

“I think it’s really important that people engage in politics, we are very lucky to have a democratic process of electing our members of Parliament.”

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

The Rangitata electorate’s two first-time political candidates acknowledge they have some work to do to raise their profiles leading into election day.

National’s Andrew Falloon and Labour’s Jo Luxton are little known by the Mid Canterbury public, a Guardian street poll earlier this week suggested.

Only seven people out of 20 could name Luxton from looking at her photo, and only four of those could name Falloon. The general election will be held on September 23.

“Labour’s candidate was selected 12 months ago, while I was selected as the National Party candidate just two months ago, so in terms of campaigning I’m conscious I have some catching up to do,” Falloon said.

In the past eight weeks he had personally knocked on almost

3000 doors across the electorate, made hundreds of phone calls, and attended dozens of community events.

And with just 12-and-a-half weeks to go to election day, he was planning on continuing to work hard every day to earn the support of Mid Cantabrians.

“So that I can provide a strong voice for our region in Government focused on the things that matter – a growing local economy, a safe community, quality healthcare and education, and more jobs and opportunities for our young people,” he said.

■ ASHBURTON FIRE STATION

Siren outage shortlived

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade members are pleased their station’s fire alarm is back up and working following an exterior system failure on Monday.

The siren did not sound at 9.05am on Monday when a call was put through from the fire service’s South Island communications centre in Christchurch. The incident was a noseto-tail car accident on State Highway 1 at Tinwald, resulting in minor and moderate injuries for three people.

In the absence of the siren sounding, firefighters fled to the scene having been alerted by their pagers and cellphone notification.

The siren’s loud whirr sounds

“

The centre let the Ashburton firefighters know upon their arrival to the station that part of the system was down, and it was repaired within a few minutes.

“It takes a pretty high priority, I guess that’s the liaison that the communications centre have with Telecom, that technology is above and beyond my total understanding, but certainly if we have had any problems in the past they tend to get on to it fairly smartly,” Burgess said.

It was beneficial to have the siren for call-outs during the day, as it was an extra alert for firefighters who could be busy at work, and also signalled to the public that fire engines might soon be rushing through the streets.

It takes a high priority – that’s the liaison the communications centre have with Telecom but any problems in the past have been fixed fairly smartly

across the town from the fire station on Burnett Street generally between the hours of 7am to 8pm daily. Outside of those hours the siren does not sound and firefighters rely on their pagers and cellphones.

Chief Alan Burgess said the system failure was a rare oc-

currence. The call-out system was that telecommunications personnel picked up 111 calls which were then put through to the appropriate emergency communication centre.

The fire service communications centre for South Island call-outs is in Christchurch.

From P1 Lynn also knows how tricky it is to foil on a multi-hulled catamaran because he spent 25 years experimenting with foils on kiteboats and kiteboards at Lake Clearwater.

He spent many hours speeding across the water, capsizing, swimming back to shore with broken equipment, and rebuilding.

“We were known as the clowns of Clearwater.”

In total, Lynn built something like 140 prototype boats, kiteboats and kiteboards during this period.

While trying to get the foils working on catamarans had little success, the successful invention of kite buggying did result.

Lynn says the first foiling attempts on water go back more than 100 years, with control and stability key issues.

New Zealand’s victory in Bermuda yesterday was special because the boat and team had sailed so well, and in the face of Oracle and its supporting teams combining to gang up on the Kiwis, he said.

While New Zealand has not signed protocols committing the 36th America’s Cup to a particular type of boat, he says it would be hard to beat the excitement and drama of the multi-hulled catamarans.

It would be fairer if challengers and the defender were both allowed two boats, given the propensity for a mishap – as evidenced when Team New Zealand pitchpoled in the challenger series.

Auckland, in four years’ time, will provide an excellent venue for the Kiwis to defend the Auld Mug with shiftier winds leading to some spectacular racing.

Expect Lynn to be glued to the action again.

Firefighters called to ambulance stuck in mud

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

It was a case of rescuing the rescuers in Methven on Monday night.

Methven Volunteer Fire Brigade members used muscle power to save the situation when an ambulance became stuck in mud about 8.55pm.

St John Mid Canterbury territory manager Ian Rex said the ambulance had been responding to a medical call-out to a residence in the town. The patient had asked St John to have the vehicle at the back of the house, which is where it became stuck.

“The patient was still in the house being treated at the time so there was no impact on the patient’s care,” Rex said.

The patient was transferred

to Christchurch Hospital as they had recently had surgery in Christchurch.

For fire brigade members, they responded to the call-out and rushed to the scene in their fire truck. But no equipment was needed.

Station officer Gary Blackwell said five firefighters pushed the ambulance back onto the driveway area. The ground had been deemed too wet to tow the vehicle.

“Rather than make a big mess of somebody’s lawn we thought we would give it a go, and it worked,” Blackwell said.

The firefighters then helped St John personnel transport the patient to the ambulance.

“It was a good outcome all round,” Blackwell said.

New bowls help to keep bowlers on mats

BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

For years, indoor bowlers from the St Andrew’s Sports Club had been struggling to play due to the similarity in the colour of the bowls, but thanks to a grant, the group can now bowl all day long.

Through a grant from the Charitable Trust of Mid and South Canterbury and a contribution from a club member, the club

was able to trade up their previously brown bowls for yellow ones.

President of the club Richard Smitheram said previously it had been hard for some players to distinguish the bowls at times, especially for one member who is legally blind.

“It has made a huge difference for the club. They used to just blend in but now they really

stand out,” he said.

The club has been operating for 62 years and currently sits at 31 members.

Smitheram said the oldest member is 95 years old, and still a very good bowler.

“We used to bowl on a Monday evening but it was slowly dying out so we moved it to the afternoon and it has just flourished from there,” he said.

Wedding an ‘absolute joke’ Rapist and murderer Liam James Reid married disgraced lawyer and convicted smuggler Davina Murray on his daughter’s 22nd birthday.

And his daughter’s mother is fuming at her ex, saying she is disgusted at his “sick” actions.

It was revealed on Monday Reid was set to marry Murray in Auckland Prison at Paremoremo yesterday.

The ceremony, in front a number of guests including some of Reid’s inmate pals, took place at 10am.

It was catered, photos were taken and the legal paperwork was signed to seal the convict couple as newlyweds.

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

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

Reid’s ex-partner contacted the Herald after news of the wedding broke, upset and angry.

She spoke on the condition

of anonymity – wanting to protect her daughter’s privacy – and said the wedding was “an absolute joke”.

“I am the mother of his daughter and am disgusted and angry that this is allowed to happen,” she said.

“Let alone that the date they have chosen to be married on is my daughter’s birthday.”

The woman said Reid marrying on his daughter’s birthday was “sick” and she considered it a personal attack.

“Not only did she have to come to terms with what he had done at a very young age and eventually grew up knowing

that he was a rapist and murderer – every birthday she has from now on, they will be celebrating their wedding anniversary,” she said.

“She struggled emotionally and now for them to do this to her is cruel and heartless. “it just makes me feel sick and sad for my daughter, that he can hurt and affect her life like this again.”

The woman said she was “completely outraged” that Reid’s wedding had been allowed.

“Without any regard to victims’ families and other members involved,” she said.

of known that this was taking place on this particular date I would have done everything in my power as a mother to try and stop it.

“But we weren’t even given a chance.”

She said it was “a very big shock” to hear that her ex was getting married.

The Herald earlier revealed that Reid’s best man was Malcolm Chaston who was jailed for life in 2011 with a minimum non-parole period of 20 years for the murder of Christchurch woman Vanessa Pickering.

The 27-year-old mother was killed and dumped at Godley Head on Christchurch’s Port Hills in early 2010.

Corrections Minister Louise Upston said on Monday she was not consulted about the wedding, nor was she aware of it until the Herald revealed details on Monday night.

“I find that marriage particularly disgraceful and I think most New Zealanders will,” she said yesterday.

“Unfortunately it’s not against the law to get married in this country but I’m thinking of Emma Agnew’s family because they won’t get to see her get married.”

After not opening last winter due to the unseasonally warm weather, the team is again waiting for the bite of winter to hit before they can even get excited about the potential of some time on the rink. “We’ve really only had the one decent frost up here,” comanager Rob Withers said. “To get anywhere near to being able to think about opening up we would need about 10 to 12 days of really strong frosts.”

Red kumara prices in New Zealand (left) versus purple kumara prices in Australia (right).

NZ food prices shock Kiwis in Oz Many Kiwis in Australia are stunned at food prices back home in New Zealand with some blaming costs of food for this country’s growing poverty crisis.

On the Kiwis in Aussie Facebook page, one Kiwi posted photos of a number of supermarket food prices in New Zealand leading to hundreds of comments from people surprised at the hefty prices.

Richie Leef posted several photos of the price of produce at a New Zealand supermarket with the caption: “Check this out ppl OMG They need Aldis back home aye What a ripoff poor kiwis”.

Leef’s photos show the price of broccoli ($3.69 each), 500g butter ($5.19), 1kg courgettes ($8.89), 1kg red kumara ($8.29), avocados ($4.99 each) and short cucumber ($3.69 each).

The prices have dropped jaws with many believing they are better off in Australia.

“300k NZ children living in poverty”, one person wrote.

“The problem with NZ is the cost of living keeps going up but the wages have remained the same for years that’s why a lot of us don’t go home.”

“Soo expensive ... went home for a holi-

day at the beginning of the year ... i was so broke just trying to fill the larder with essential food item ... i even asked if there was still cows in NZ cause of the price of milk dairy products,” another said.

“Wow I thought our prices were high in regional WA but it makes ours look good geez.”

Nikki Marie Batchelor said she believes groceries in Melbourne are nearly half the price compared to back home.

“Rip off alright! Food is heaps cheaper here! Can’t get tomato sauce for $1 in NZ like you can here! Half price groceries every week in Melbourne! Can get 3 broccoli heads here for that price! Glad I moved to Aus! Financially better off here.”

Australian based Kiwis took the opportunity to compare prices between the two countries, with their findings backing up their initial shock at the price of food in New Zealand.

From one Australian supermarket fresh broccoli costs 87 cents – compared to $3.69 each in New Zealand, while Australia’s Joe’s Fruit World purple kumara cost 79c per kg in comparison to red kumara from Pak’nSave at $8.29 per kg.

Barclay tapes reported to include talk of ‘sex, drugs’ Secret recordings made in National MP Todd Barclay’s office reportedly included discussion about “sex and drugs”, it has been revealed.

According to a report by Newsroom, Parliamentary Services knows what is on tapes recorded in the Clutha-Southland MP’s electorate office.

It told Christchurch lawyer Kathryn Dalziel that her client Glenys Dickson had been recorded discussing the MP, and that she had mentioned “sex and drug matters”.

Labour leader Andrew Little repeated the claims under Parliamentary privilege yesterday afternoon. He said in the House that the tapes had been “revealed to concern Todd Barclay and sex and drug matters” and asked Prime Minister Bill English whether he was aware of their contents.

English declined to comment, saying he had nothing to add to what he had said previously.

Earlier yesterday, police said they were reopening the investigation into the allegation that Barclay had secretly recorded his staff.

son’s unredacted police statement from the original investigation. In the statement, Dickson said Parliamentary Services had originally declined her request for a large settlement payment but later accepted it after officials discovered that Dickson’s privacy might have been breached.

Dickson said Parliamentary officials also confirmed the existence of tapes to Dalziel and what was on them.

“Catherine (sic) Dalziel also told me that she had spoken to Parliamentary Services and that they had acknowledged there was recorded conversations involving me which concerned Todd Barclay regarding sex and drug matters.”

Dickson could only recall one conservation on this subject, with another National staffer in Queenstown.

It came after Barclay pulled out of a prizegiving ceremony at the Telford Agriculture College in Balclutha. Barclay had been invited as the guest of honour but instead stayed in Queenstown after a big night out.

According to Dickson, it was the latest in a series of events that had concerned staff.

Bouquets for Burling, brickbats for Dalton Matt Markham

ACTING EDITOR

S

ometimes to be successful you also need to be humble and Grant Dalton showed the world exactly how not to do it yesterday.

In the wonderful afterglow of Emirates Team New Zealand lifting The Auld Mug from Oracle’s grasp, Dalton took a little of the shine away from the effort of his outstanding crew when he decided to really rub it into the sometimes bothersome, Jimmy Spithill.

To his credit, Spithill is a far better loser than he is a winner himself.

His post-race press conference yesterday after Peter Burling dismantled Oracle once again to lift the famous piece of silverware, 7-1, was full of respect and admiration for the New Zealand crew who had been the author of his own demise.

He paid tribute, he gave credit and admitted to being beaten by a better team.

Yet Dalton, a Kiwi bloke who may need to remember where he hails from, went straight on the attack.

He said he did not care about Jimmy Spithill and threw in a couple more digs before finishing his wee tirade.

Even former Team New Zealand skipper Dean Barker wasn’t spared.

Dalton said it was important to not preclude a generation of sailors from participating based on the nationality clause and couldn’t help but finish with “if you want to be Japan, you need to be Japanese” which appears to be a direct crack at Barker.

It was disappointing from a man in such a position as Dalton.

You earn respect and praise by being humble. Instead he behaved like the spoilt little brat who got too many gifts on Christmas Day. His efforts would have been better used praising the efforts of the man at the helm of his campaign, Peter Burling. His cool, calm and steely reserve, particularly in the face of adversity, is somewhat akin to that of another of our favourite sons, Richie McCaw. When people panic around him, Burling seems to be unflappable, a wonderful skillset to have in such pressure-cooker situations.

So, it’s bouquets for Burling and brickbats for Dalton.

Thankfully, in this case, the positive far outweighs the negative.

ews on Monday of a zero-alcohol tolerance at the after-ball following Friday night’s Ashburton College Ball drew plenty of comment from followers of our Facebook page on Monday afternoon and deep into yesterday.

Some agreed with the decision, while others were outraged and struggled to see the sense of it all. We’ve compiled some of the best comments made and will always welcome more of your thoughts and opinions.

ROLLING POLL

Nathan So now rather than the students being able to drink in a safe environment while being looked after, they are now either just not going to go and/or go drink somewhere else.

JackieandPaul Rules are rules, you don’t need to drink to have a good time, any event success is what you put into it, you certainly don’t need alcohol to have a good time.

I hope the students rally behind this and still attend because these events are what creates memories

This week’s question Alli Sad for the huge amount of organising by all concerned but also it’s a sad situation when our young ones have the assumption that a good time has to have alcohol. Whether it had been an afterball or a private party the responsibility around alcohol should not change. It is the prev idiots that had no responsibility around alcohol that has brought on these changes over the years. Hopefully whatever happens on Friday night, it is remembered for the good time, not for the idiot that chose to make the wrong decision. And yes, I was young once.

Workplace bullying is never okay and can be debilitating for anyone and their self-esteem.

Bullying at work – how can we stop it?

D

efined simply as “unreasonably forcing someone to do something”, being bullied at work leaves someone feeling totally trapped and demeaned.

Far from causing them to work well, they may do what they are forced to, but will never work to their potential.

It has been timely to have a week where awareness has been raised and Worksafe NZ has some good resources in this area; but just how are things going to change?

I am not talking about the occasional mind blow-out so many of us have, where we shout and swear under pressure, neither am I talking about a manager safely enforcing obligations on employees and correcting wrong behaviour.

I am talking about continually running someone down, making

HUMAN RESOURCES

fun of them, using threats or verbal force to get someone to do something, or using power and authority to get someone to do something unreasonable.

Ashburton is no different from other rural sectors – it is full of smaller businesses where managers and team leaders have generally had little training or guidance in how to get staff to work efficiently.

Not surprisingly a number of them will seek to manage staff the way they have had it demonstrated to them and so we see generation after generation

of managers acting as sergeant majors – shouting instructions; calling people all kinds of names under the sun if they don’t succeed and doling out physical punishment (extra unpaid hours; no breaks; forced working without gloves in the freezing cold).

I note that in smaller businesses it is not usually bullying by one staff of another – either a manager/supervisor is involved or they know and condone it.

And it is far more prevalent than most of us would believe.

Have you seen someone called “useless” in front of others?

Have you heard anyone threatened with a punch or pushed around by a group – in “fun”?

All of these are bullying and are most debilitating for anyone and their self-esteem.

It’s time everyone banded together to make this stop: ■ Leaders need to be assertive

and not aggressive Leaders need to set targets, not threats ■ Leaders need to use their staff’s skills, not abuse them.

Bullying is not fun, it’s cruel. If you see someone being bullied, talk to the boss.

If you are being bullied get advice now.

If you are an owner or a boss, stand up against bullying and provide some training for your teams.

Managers must be able to enforce obligations on employees and correct their wrong behaviour – safely.

■ UNITED STATES

Travel ban partly enforced US President Donald Trump has hailed a Supreme Court ruling approving a limited version of his travel ban on travellers from six Muslim-majority countries and all refugees as a win for national security.

Yesterday’s ruling means Trump’s ban on visitors from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen can be enforced if those visitors lack a “credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States”.

The ban will come into effect 72 hours after the court’s ruling.

In October Supreme Court justices will hear full arguments about the ban which has stirred heated emotions across the US and pointed rebukes from lower courts claiming the Trump administration is targeting Muslims.

The ruling sets up a potential clash between the government and opponents of the ban over the strength of visitors’ ties to the US. A senior official said plans already had been written to enforce the ban aggressively. But immigrant groups said relatively few people try to enter the US without well-established ties.

Those groups say they will be sending lawyers and moni-

US president Donald Trump denies the travel ban targets Muslims but says it’s needed “to protect the nation from terrorist activities”.

PHOTO AP tors back to American airports, where the initial, immediate implementation of the ban in January caused chaos and confusion.

Trump denies the ban targets Muslims but says it’s needed “to protect the nation from terrorist activities” committed by citizens of the

six countries, which have all been designated as presenting heightened concerns about terrorism and travel to the US. The 90-day ban is necessary to allow an internal review of screening procedures for visa applicants from the countries, the administration says. That review should be complete be-

fore October 2, the first day the justices could hear arguments in their new term.

The ban will have run its course by then, raising a question of whether the justices will even issue a decision in the case or dismiss it because it has been overtaken by events.

President Temer accused of corruption Brazil’s attorney general formally accused President Michel Temer of corruption yesterday, making him the first sitting president in Latin America’s largest nation to face criminal charges.

Attorney General Rodrigo Janot’s accusation is the latest salvo in an intensifying showdown between Temer and justice officials who are building a corruption case that reaches to the highest levels.

The case now goes to the lower Chamber of Deputies in Congress, which must decide whether it has merit. If two-thirds of the legislature decides that it does, then the president will be suspended for up to 180 days while a trial is conducted. House Speaker Rodrigo Maia, an ally of Temer, would be president in the interim.

In his decision, Janot said that Temer at some point be-

tween March and April of this year took a bribe of around $150,000 offered by Joesly Batista, former chairman of meat-packing giant JBS. Janot opened an investigation last month into Temer for corruption, obstruction of justice and being part of a criminal organisation. A recording emerged that apparently captured Temer, in a late-night conversation with Batista earlier this year, en-

She said: “2 Days in the Valley – Rotten Tomatoes gave it number 17 on the list of 20 Greatest Fight Scenes Ever. The fight was between me and Teri Hatcher.

I hit her really bad. I think she was bruised. Back then I didn’t know how to hone in my energy and I was knocking over lights. I had no concept of a set. I connected right with Teri Hatcher’s face. I felt terrible about it. I had no money and sent her some cheap beer the next day.

Sorry, Teri.”

Temer has denied wrongdoing and said he refuses to resign despite numerous calls for him to do so and plunging popularity. The office of the presidency has yet to respond.

Harry Potter turns twenty Wizarding legend Harry Potter’s tale has turned 20. Author J.K. Rowling’s first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, was published in Britain on June 26, 1997. Since then, it has sold more than 450 million copies worldwide and has been translated into 79 languages.

The books’ magical world has inspired multiple films, spinoffs, memorabilia and amusement park attractions. The White Elephant Cafe, the Edinburgh spot where Rowling wrote the first book, has become an international tourist destination.

“Twenty years ago today a world that I had lived in alone was suddenly open to others,” Rowling tweeted. “It’s been wonderful. Thank you.”

Farmer confidence jumps to record high

By Tina Morrison New Zealand farmer confidence and investment intentions jumped to record levels in the second quarter of this year, buoyed by improved commodity prices.

Rabobank said net farmer confidence rose to 54 per cent from 27 per cent in the March quarter, hitting the highest level since its survey began in 2003.

Investment intentions lifted across all agricultural sectors, with 40 per cent of farmers expecting to increase investment in the next 12 months, up from 31 per cent last quarter and also at a record high.

Farmers across all agricultural sectors were more positive about the outlook for the agricultural economy, with 71 per cent citing improved commodity prices as a key reason for increased optimism.

This was particularly the case

“

Dairy farmers, in particular, will be looking to increase farm expenditure ...

for dairy farmers, 77 per cent of whom cited improved commodity prices, and sheep and beef producers, at 66 per cent.

“Buoyancy in the pastoral sectors is underpinned by strengthened farmgate returns across the industries,” said Rabobank New Zealand general manager for country banking Hayley Moynihan.

“Sheep and beef farmgate prices continue to hold steady at strong levels for beef and higher than initially expected for lamb, and lower supply from New Zealand as well as other key export regions will

underpin good returns over the coming months.

“Dairy commodity prices continue to strengthen thanks to steady demand and lower supply and this has been recently reflected in strong opening price signals for the new 2017/18 season by many dairy processors.”

More than half of farmers surveyed were anticipating the performance of their own farm business to improve over the next 12 months, lifting net confidence to 47 per cent, the highest reading since late 2013.

Sheep and beef farmers record-

ed the biggest rise in confidence in their own farm business performance, jumping to a net 41 per cent from 2 per cent last quarter, while dairy farmer confidence lifted to a net 61 per cent from 54 per cent and horticulturalists eased to 38 per cent from 44 per cent.

“It’s very unusual to have farmers from all of New Zealand’s key agricultural sectors so confident about the outlook for their own business’s performance and this bodes well not just for the rural economy but for New Zealand’s economy,” Moynihan said.

Horticulturalists had the strong-

est investment intentions, with 52 per cent of those surveyed expecting to increase investment in the coming 12 months, up from 48 per cent last quarter.

Dairy farmers recorded the biggest jump in investment intentions with 43 per cent looking to increase investment, up from 29 per cent last quarter, while 32 per cent of sheep and beef producers expected to invest more, up from 28 per cent.

The survey found that 40 per cent of farmers expected to spend more on animal feed, fertiliser or machinery in the next year in comparison to the previous year, while only 8 per cent were expecting to spend less.

“Dairy farmers, in particular, will be looking to increase farm expenditure given the belt-tightening that has been required over recent seasons,” Moynihan said.

Comvita shares rise after CEO downplays myrtle rust risk

By Paul McBeTh Comvita shares rose to a twoweek high after the honey health products maker downplayed the risk posed to the manuka honey industry by the myrtle rust fungal disease.

The shares gained 3.6 per cent to $5.70 after Te Puke-based Comvita said myrtle rust’s risk to the wider industry was low, based on its analysis on Australian outbreaks of the disease.

“Neither our Australian JV partner Capilano or apiary businesses in Tasmania, with whom we have been speaking, have had any re-

ports of myrtle rust being found in Leptospermum species since the fungus was discovered in mainland Australia in 2010 and Tasmania in 2015,” chief executive Scott Coulter said in a statement.

“There has been no impact from myrtle rust on their honey production.”

Comvita’s shares took a double whammy from the outbreak, which coincided with a poor honey harvest and aggressive competition through China’s informal online trading channels which weighed on earnings.

Coulter said the New Zealand

discovery of myrtle rust was consistent with Australia’s experience so far and that the fungal disease hadn’t been found on wild manuka plants, only in plant nurseries and domestic environments.

Still, Comvita is still treading carefully with procedures to identify and report the disease, regular inspections of its nursery stock, and a treatment regime for plants before they’re moved from nurseries.

The company is also investigating ways to breed plants resistant to the disease and what it can learn from Australia’s outbreak.

In brief

■ TENNIS

Wimbledon ‘wide open’ Even in defeat, Marin Cilic is being talked about as a contender for the Wimbledon title.

The sixth-ranked Croat, who won the US Open in 2014, lost a close three-set match to Feliciano Lopez in the final at Queen’s.

But there was a still a sense that he was one of the men to beat next week at the All England Club.

“It’s interesting that he (Lopez) won a tournament and I’m the favorite,” Cilic said.

“I’m playing really well, and especially the last few months.

“For me, I’m keeping my feet on the ground.”

“Definitely I’m going to get into Wimbledon with good determination, good confidence – hoping that I can go further than the last three years.”

The 28-year-old Cilic has never reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon, losing in the quarter-finals for the last three years.

Novak Djokovic beat him on the way to the title in 2014 and 2015, and Roger Federer rallied from two sets down to oust Cilic last year.

Lopez never once managed to break Cilic’s serve on Monday, and even had to save a match point in the 4-6, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (8) victory.

He certainly gives Cilic a chance at Wimbledon.

“For me, he’s top three on grass,” the 35-year-old Spaniard said.

“This year, seeing the other guys, it’s a very open Wimbledon.

“Definitely Marin is one of the contenders.

“I will say Roger No. 1 and then Marin, Andy (Murray).”

Murray was knocked out in his opening match at Queen’s.

Djokovic, who has struggled since winning the French Open in 2016, will be playing in Eastbourne this week.

The 35-year-old Federer, though, won his fourth title of the season on Monday at the Gerry Weber Open, beating Alexander Zverev 6-1, 6-3.

Federer skipped the clay-court season, including the French Open.

The Australian Open champion will be looking for a record eighth Wimbledon title this year.

“To say that he’s No.1 favorite, you know, it could be true but also could not be,” Cilic said of Federer.

“Definitely he’s going to be playing really well, and, you know, he’s feeling right at home in Wimbledon.”

Right – Marin Cilic celebrates a point at Queen’s.

Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook has been voted NBA MVP after setting a record with 42 tripledoubles last season. Westbrook joined Oscar Robertson as the only players to average a tripledouble for the season, and broke Robertson’s single-season record of 41 triple-doubles in 1961-62.

The point guard succeeds Stephen Curry, who won the past two MVP awards.

at last year’s Wimbledon.

Erakovic’s ranking has improved from 148 to 129 because of her six wins in Ilkley last week and she’s in a confident mood heading into the third Grand Slam of the year.

Last year Erakovic was able to come through qualifying at Wimbledon and eventually lost in the third round of the main draw to the tournament 12th seed Carla Suarez Navarro from Spain.

Meanwhile, at the Antalya Open being played in Turkey

John McEnroe says Serena Williams would be “like 700” in the world tennis rankings if she played on the men’s tour. McEnroe, speaking to NPR about his memoir “But Seriously,” says Williams is the best female player ever, “no question.” But when asked about her being the best ever, without gender qualifiers, McEnroe was clear that he didn’t think so.

McEnroe says “if she played the men’s circuit she’d be like 700 in the world”.

Erakovic confident heading into grand slam Marina Erakovic will play against Amra Sadikovic from Switzerland in the first round of qualifying at Wimbledon overnight.

After coming off an impressive run at Ilkley, Yorkshire last week where Erakovic came through qualifying to make it to the semifinals, the New Zealand No 1 has been given kind draw.

Sadikovic has a world ranking of 221 and has spent most of her career on the ITF circuit.

She has only once made it to the main draw of a Grand Slam, losing 6-2 6-4 to Serena Williams

Gun forward Joe Daniher says Essendon’s improved performance and the new AFL pay deal helped to seal his contract extension. The 23-year-old has committed to stay with the Bombers for another three years, having started the season in career-best form. He will be a restricted free agent when his contract expires at the end of 2020. With 35 goals, Daniher is equal-third in the Coleman Medal tally and is delivering on the potential he had teased in his first four seasons.

- AAP

Walker re-signs Adelaide captain Taylor Walker has signed a three-year contract extension, extending his stint at the AFL club until at least the end of the 2021 season. Walker has played 142 games for the Crows and kicked 336 goals. “Like I have said many times before, I love the footy club, its people and especially my team-mates,” said Walker, who will be 31 when his new deal runs out. “I am convinced this playing group can achieve the type of success the supporters deserve.” Crows head of football Brett Burton complimented Walker on the way he handled the contract negotiations.

Baypark ‘ideal venue’

By John Cousins Tauranga has taken a big step towards featuring on the world motorsport map after Baypark won selection as the base for the final round of the New Zealand Rally Championship.

The country’s best rally drivers, including World Rally Championship driver Hayden Paddon, will start and finish at Baypark for the two-day round in November that will double as Rally New Zealand.

Rally New Zealand, with its own trophy, is one of two rallies on the shortlist for an expanded world championship.

Baypark’s selection as the base for the sixth and final round was welcomed by Gary Dawson, the chief executive of council-controlled Bay Venues.

“It would be huge for Tauranga and our international exposure if the World Rally Championship came here.’’

Dawson said the two-day rally on November 25-26 would be a good test run for an international round.

New Zealand’s premier rally driver Hayden Paddon.

“Baypark is an ideal venue.

We have a huge pit area and we are totally geared up for motorsport.’’

The selection of Baypark as the base for the final round was announced by the promoter of the national championship, Simon Bell.

He was unable to specify where the Rally New Zealand stages would be run until the sport’s international governing body had

decided if the World Rally Championship would return to New Zealand in 2018.

Bell said if New Zealand were chosen it would affect where the Rally NZ stages were raced this year.

The sixth round would then become the dry run for the world event. There were different route criteria for national and international rally events.

He said it came down to the

promoter of the world circuit and what New Zealand could offer the event.

“We are very positive it will happen.’’

Bell said the world championship was like selling a product.

“It is a business and it is looking for audiences.’’

One advantage of Baypark as a base for a world championship round was its proximity to the Port of Tauranga where the cars would be unloaded.

Tauranga rally driver Phil Campbell said the selection of Baypark as the base and the potential for a national championship stage to be raced close to the city was an exciting prospect.

His team had spent eight years going to other centres to race and it would be so much easier to have one of the rounds based in Tauranga. “Having Baypark as a base is pretty cool.’’

Rally New Zealand has not been on the World Rally Championship calendar since 2012. The final decision was set to be made by the FIA Motorsport Council in late September.

No blame game at Mercedes Formula One world champions Mercedes refused to play the blame game yesterday as they sought answers for a headrest failure that cost Lewis Hamilton a victory in Azerbaijan.

The triple champion was comfortably leading an already eventful race when the headrest material worked loose, forcing him to pit for safety reasons and dropping him out of the podium places. The setback left him 14 points behind Ferrari’s championship leader Sebastian Vettel.

Without the headrest working loose, Hamilton would have been leading the championship after Vettel finished fourth following a penalty for banging wheels with his rival.

Team boss Toto Wolff emphasised that the team would not blame anybody for the error.

“This team has won three world championships and I will not point the finger at a single person,” the Austrian told reporters.

The team said yesterday that “things will always go wrong, it’s the culture of fixing them that matters.”

In brief Team NZ nails it At last, we can celebrate – Team New Zealand have lifted the America’s Cup from Oracle Team USA with a thrilling win yesterday.

Needing just one more win in the first-to-seven format challenge match, the Kiwis made no mistake, setting aside the ghosts of 2013, when they squandered eight match-points in San Francisco.

Emirates Team NZ have not lost a race that they lead after the first leg and their only loss came when they lagged. This time, they would have to do it from behind, but this time made no mistakes.

Parade planned The America’s Cup is coming back to New Zealand, and Auckland has announced it’ll be welcomed home with a parade. A homecoming parade is already in the works, Auckland Tourism, Events & Economic Development says. While details would be confirmed over the next few days, the parade route would’ n’t be heading down Queen Street due to construction, he said. - NZME

■ AMERICA’S CUP

Burling man of the moment

By Mark OraMs Peter Burling is a name that many people around the world now know.

But in the New Zealand sailing community he has long been known. He was recognised as a major talent from an early age.

And now it is hard to argue against him being seen as the best competitive sailor in the world.

Burling is not only an amazing talent, he is a great, great guy. It’s wonderful to see someone like that, with humility, rise to the very top.

As a rookie match racer in the toughest of environments, he has shown amazing composure and skill.

Of course Team New Zealand is not just about Burling, and he would be the first to emphasise that.

But Burling is now the star, the very public face of an amazing team.

The world is now at his feet, and I believe he will continue as an Olympic sailor. He and Blair Tuke have shown the ability to juggle a few balls in the air before.

Who knows – even a roundthe-world race may be in his plans, although he has done little offshore racing.

So who is this now-famous young man?

Burling followed his older brother into sailing at the Tau-

ranga Yacht and Power Boat Club and showed his potential being selected as an 11-year-old to represent New Zealand at the World Optimist Class Championships.

He subsequently and, perhaps poignantly, was awarded the Sir Peter Blake Memorial Trophy for the most outstanding performance at the Sir Peter Blake Torbay Regatta as a 14-year-old.

Then, along with crewmate Carl Evans, he won world championship titles in the doublehanded 420 class twice.

Subsequently he went to the Olympics in Beijing and became the youngest Olympic sailor in New Zealand history and the youngest member of the 2008 New Zealand Olympic Team.

An Olympic silver medal in the 49er class with crew mate Blair Tuke in 2012 and then gold in Rio 2016.

It’s a seriously impressive sailing CV. What makes him special?

He is one of those rare individuals who has a natural feel for making a yacht go fast.

An intuition about the wind and waves, outstanding balance, fast reactions and strength and agility. Combine these attributes with an unflappable nature and a strong work ethic and you have a sailor who is a winner. Quite frankly, he would have made a great race car driver or jet fighter pilot. Thank goodness he chose sailing!

As a person, Peter Burling is naturally an introvert and he is slightly serious.

He is not uncomfortable in the limelight – as his performances in the press conferences and in front of the media has shown – but he would just as well hand that to someone else and get on with the sailing.

Pete will be the first to point out that the support he has had from his father Richard, his coaches over the years have been important.

However, for me, the key person in his development into a self-assured leader and outstanding New Zealander has been Blair Tuke.

Blair Tuke is the “Yin” to Peter’s “Yang”.

Blair is a charismatic, fun loving extrovert with a great sense of humour and fun.

He has really helped bring Pete out of his shell and develop selfconfidence and a light-hearted approach to what they do.

He keeps the “fun-factor” up there and that has been huge for Pete.

Their partnership has been one of those special relationships that is synergistic.

They are best mates as well as crew mates, they train together, socialise together, play together and trust each other implicitly.

They now know each other so well they barely need to speak when racing their 49er. Their

teamwork on a yacht is just poetry in motion, the co-ordination is very special to watch. They make really hard stuff look so easy!

Peter Burling has that most wonderful of Kiwi traits, humility.

He is not up himself in any way.

He has self-belief, but is very down-to-earth. He is a proud Kiwi and very aware of the heritage of his country and sport.

He knows he carries a responsibility of expectation but it does weigh on him.

The way he has handled the press conferences opposite Jimmy Spithill has been brilliant.

This has not been planned or rehearsed from Pete, this is just who he is. Calm, self-assured, totally focused and not full of himself.

By not engaging and staying measured and calm, irrespective of the situation, he made Spithill look hollow. Peter Burling let his sailing do the talking – nice!

What next for Peter Burling?

I do not think this will change him. He will set new goals, really ambitious ones, and he will work hard to achieve them.

He will stay loyal to himself, to his mates and will keep on sailing – because he loves it and he is damn good at it.

The best we have seen? Hard to argue against it, and he is only 26 years old.

Hat’s off to you Peter Burling.

You have made all of us proud.

- NZME

Team New Zealand boss Grant Dalton has fired a parting shot at Jimmy Spithill and Oracle Team USA after lifting the America’s Cup yesterday. Dalton fired a shot at Oracle – saying he did not care how the Australian skipper is feeling after suffering his first America’s Cup defeat. “Frankly I couldn’t care less about Spithill,” Dalton said. “He was quite keen to get me ousted and probably has a good reason.

The biggest software company in the world just got beaten by little old New Zealand software.” - NZME

Ashby hails his team Emirates Team NZ survivor Glenn Ashby has lauded his team’s innovation and courage to take a different path towards America’s Cup glory.

Ashby was trimmer on the team that crumbled from 8-1 up and match-point in San Francisco four years ago and was the only crew member still aboard, as the Kiwis lifted the Auld Mug yesterday. Now skipper, Ashby was understandably emotional at the result and paid tribute to his team – the sailors and designers that had created a next-generation boat to beat all challengers and defenders. - NZME

Spithill humble Oracle Team USA skipper Jimmy Spithill has been humble in defeat following a crushing 7-1 loss in the America’s Cup yesterday. The Australian was very emotional after losing his defence of the Auld Mug when Peter Burling led Team NZ to a victory in race nine yesterday.

“We’re disappointed right now, but full credit to Team New Zealand,” he offered. “Man, what a series.

They fully deserve it.”

- NZME

Changes in the wind Three potential race courses loom for New Zealand’s America’s Cup defence – including a spectacular inner-harbour version off the Viaduct Harbour. Grant Dalton has promised to reveal more detail about how and when the Kiwi defence will play out in Auckland within the next two weeks. He has already hinted at changes including the possibility of moving to foiling mono-hulls rather than the catamarans of Bermuda.

■ WORTH THE WAIT

Bullet fires at Addington

By Matt MarkhaM

Matt.M@theguardian.co.nz

As far as exceeding expectations go, Bite The Bullet well and truly met the brief at Addington on Sunday.

So much so in fact that John Dunn was considered himself more than impressed with the four-year-old’s effort to produce a dashing final furlong to win in his first appearance since April of last year.

“After such a long time away from the track, to produce an effort like that first up was pretty impressive,” Dunn said.

The Mach Three gelding, who ran sixth behind Lazarus in the Sires’ Stakes Final as a three-yearold, is owned by the Ashburton trio of Alan and Ian Neumann along with Brent Clarke and has endured a rather tumultuous last couple of years.

He’s had two wind operations, the second coming after the first was unsuccessful and it’s been a long and slow build up to get back to the track.

But judging by Sunday’s win, the wait has been worth it.

“His work and everything leading up to the weekend had been really good, we thought he would

Bite The Bullet charging home for John Dunn at Addington. go a good race. But even halfway down the straight I thought he was just going to finish the race off strongly, but I didn’t really expect him to pick them up in the way he did.

“He really flattened out and sprinted, to get to them as quick as he did left me pretty impressed.”

With a record of four wins and seven placings from 23 starts and his wind issues, hopefully, be-

hind him there’s a good platform from which Bite The Bullet can now launch from – although the direction he’s headed is still up in the air.

As a Rating 70 pacer, options are limited but not scarce and being a part of the dual-located Dunn stable will has it’s advantages.

Auckland is an option, particularly with the stake levels on offer, but Dunn is happy to take

it day by day and see what transpires.

“We haven’t worked that out what we will do next,” Dunn said.

“There are options there but it’s a case of sitting down and figuring them out.”

Bite The Bullet was one half of a driving double for Dunn on Sunday, he also saluted with the ever-improving son of The Pres, Red Hot Poker for Graeme Telfer.

With 68 wins next to his name for the season, it’s not going to end quite as fruitful as some of his recent seasons but Dunn is still a happy man and he and his father Robert will go close to triple figures again in the training ranks.

“We’ve got a really nice team due to come back to the track soon, some really talented types so that’s always exciting.

“But it’s been a good season, the wins have come again and we have to be happy with what we have achieved.”

Dunn cited the emergence of the talented Captain Dolmio as one of his real highlights from the season.

The former Southlander is back in work and will aimed at a New Zealand Trotting Cup campaign in the spring.

Memsie return likely Caulfield Cup candidates Bonneval and Jon Snow are both likely to open their Melbourne spring campaigns in the NZ Bloodstock Memsie Stakes. “We couldn’t be happier at this stage, but there’s still a lot of water to go under the bridge,” said Andrew Forsman, who trains the pair with Murray Baker.

“We’ll probably look at getting them over to Melbourne in the middle of August.”

Walker back on track Michael Walker is hoping to be riding trackwork next week ahead of his race day return. The former champion New Zealand jockey underwent back surgery earlier this year and then his comeback was delayed a few more weeks after he also had to undergo a hip operation. “If I feel good riding work next week, I’ll definitely take rides from the following Friday onwards,” Walker said.

Gobstopper looks good Andrew Campbell hasn’t lost faith in the well-related Gobstopper.

The Opaki trainer has the brother to multiple Group One winner Werther close to trialling ahead of a fresh campaign. “He’s come back a lot stronger, the breed takes time and he’s probably got another 100kg on him this time,” Campbell said. “I’ve still got high hopes for him.”

Luke misses Perth trip

Emma Dyke in action with the New Zealand women’s rowing eight.

■ ROWING

Tokyo on the horizon

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

Mid Canterbury rower Emma Dyke has been amongst the medals once again and has more success in her sights.

Dyke recently won gold as a stroke in the New Zealand women’s eight at the second World Rowing Cup in Poznan, Poland, alongside five other first-place finishes, as well as one second.

Despite being on the other side of the world, mum Nicky was still watching.

“We were watching it live on Sky, and that was really great to be able to watch,” she said.

The team were defending the gold they won in the race last year, but Dyke said this result was nicer as there were more boats contesting the race.

In what is a jam-packed month of racing and training for the crew, they have spent the past week training in Belgium before travelling to the United Kingdom for the Henley Royal Regatta.

From there, the crew will travel to Lucerne, Switzerland for the third World Cup from July 7 to 9.

Dyke said that while in the past the group had spent three months in Europe, this year they

would be returning after only one month to train and prepare for the world championships in Florida in late September.

She said the training is pretty full-on, with only Sunday and two afternoons off a week.

Emma “It can be a bit hard to balance the parttime study in amongst all that,” she said.

She said Emma had always received great support from the region, from a fundraising dinner

that was held when she first made it in to the junior squad, to people asking her at work how Emma was doing.

“I would like to think that all the people that have helped along the way have played a part in her being where she Dyke is today and where she is going.

“They probably don’t think that but I do,” she said.

As for the future, the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo is a big target for Emma.

Goodhue right in the All Blacks frame The rise and rise of Crusaders centre Jack Goodhue continues its trajectory towards an All Blacks jersey.

After initially being named as injury cover for the British & Lions series, Goodhue has been brought in as a fully fledged squad member.

With Ryan Crotty hamstrung, yet another cruel blow to Goodhue’s Crusaders midfield partner, the Northlander adds to the All Blacks midfield conundrum.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said it was the logical decision to keep him in camp, considering he was already there.

“Crotty did a hamstring, right hamstring. He could be two weeks, he could be four weeks, so Jack Goodhue, who’s here, will stay,” Hansen said.

Anton Lienert-Brown will likely be brought back into the starting lineup to reunite with Sonny Bill Williams, but that leaves a bench role to be filled.

Chiefs fullback Damian McKenzie has also been added to the squad after Ben Smith suffered his third concussion in 2017, a worrying sign.

Hansen said they would treat Smith’s injury as they would for any other similar injury.

“Bender obviously failed the concussion test so he is under protocol and Damian McKenzie is going to come in,” revealed Hansen.

“It is like any concussion. Until such time as he goes through all the protocols and passes them then he is not going to be available.

“It is not the sort of thing you rush into. We will give him a few days and then do some stuff with him.

“Obviously there is something going on there that is not quite right so we need to find out what that is.”

The Warriors will be without hooker Issac Luke for their trip to Perth to play the Manly Sea Eagles on Saturday night. The Kiwi test international has been ruled out after injuring his shoulder in the side’s win over the Bulldogs last week and has been replaced by Nathaniel Roache in the number nine jumper. The other significant change sees Kieran Foran return to the five-eighth role after missing last week’s win with a quad muscle injury.

Sironen still missing Manly’s NRL premiership stocks have suffered a blow, with improved second-rower Curtis Sironen not expected back until the final NRL game of the regular season.

Sironen will undergo surgery after scans confirmed a pectoral tear suffered in an attempted tackle on Jack Bird in Sunday’s win over Cronulla. He has pencilled in a return for the Sea Eagles’ round 26 clash against Penrith, taking some serious air out of a flying Manly side that is in the top four for the first time since 2014.

Fekitoa off to Toulon French rugby newspaper Midi Olympique is reporting Highlanders centre Malakai Fekitoa is poised to be announced as Toulon’s latest signing. The 23 times capped All Black was overlooked for the test series against the British and Irish Lions. Midi Olympique claims Fekitoa will be signed on a two year deal.

Foster calms the waters Ian Foster regards the talk flying between the All Blacks and Lions coaches in this series as just part of the game these days and while he called Warren Gatland’s recent comments regarding the targeting of players “a bit silly”, he hopes they can all have a beer together after the third test. It’s clear that Gatland’s insinuations that the All Blacks went after Conor Murray in the first test with the aim of hurting him have rankled. But All Blacks assistant coach Foster believes the “noise”, as he called it, is a byproduct of what is at stake and the pressure on both camps. The travelling media have been intrigued with the association between Gatland and Foster, two former team-mates at Waikato.

Winter is on its way, and with it comes the freezing cold, bitter winds and drenching rain.

Most of us can shelter in a comfy home, warming away the cold in front of a heater or curled up in a cosy bed at night.

But for thousands of Kiwis who do not have access to the everyday basics of food, warmth and shelter, winter is a time of stress and misery as they struggle just to survive.

In winter, people’s needs are worsened by the unanticipated costs of seasonal illnesses, cold homes, inadequate bedding and clothing, and compounded by overcrowded and substandard living conditions. This can often lead to spiralling debt, stress and unsafe living conditions for individuals and families.

The Salvation Army needs your support now to make sure these people are safe and healthy during these cold months, by providing the type of care that will help people survive this winter, and to give them the tools they need to prepare for the winters ahead.

Ashburton Guardian

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): This week features the cosmic equivalent of an invitation to a fancy dinner in which you’ll be around new people you’d be keen to impress. Your choice of attire will be equally important your conversation.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): It’s hard to “hate the sin and love the sinner,” when the “sin” and the “sinner” happen to be forwarding your interests. Take a look at what you might be complicit in by simply wanting what you want.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The reckoning your soul longs for may be with someone from long ago. That moment has passed, and it will be impossible to get back to it, but there’s still a way to make things right going forward.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): While the welfare of others is a worthy investment, don’t give your resources out of a sense of guilt or obligation. Anyone who makes you feel like you’re indebted is incorrect and possibly conning you.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): It may feel as though you are toning down something about yourself to avoid challenging, upsetting or offending people around you. What you want will cause waves, but it’s nothing you can’t handle.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The universe will be persistent with you. What starts out as a suggestion, if not taken, will later be presented to you as a challenge. If you still do not take on the idea, it will present as more of a demand.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): If your leisure time doesn’t provide stress release and your work keeps ramping up the tension, perhaps both need a serious look. Don’t passively live out the default version of your life. Go for the juice.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The words that help you reason your way through a problem will mean nothing to your emotional brain, which speaks a different language. Engage through your senses.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): People will often go to greater lengths to avoid boredom than they will to avoid pain. You can use this fact to your advantage and get good results by applying your knack for entertaining.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): It will take more than hard work to win. Momentum will help. It’s a matter of reducing friction and aligning yourself with maximum congruence; get all the elements aligned in the same direction.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): More than any other time in history, people have come to expect to be entertained. Finding reasons to be engaged (instead of waiting for the captivation cues) is a sign of special intelligence.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): In times when your life feels completely filled up and yet oddly unfulfilling, identify activities the equivalent of junk food – i.e. quantity rich and nutrient poor.

Sport Federer to play Perth Tennis great Roger Federer will play in the Hopman Cup in Perth this summer as he prepares to defend his Australian Open title. Federer, an 18-time grand slam singles winner, played the mixed-teams event in 2016 when he reached the semi-finals with Swiss teammate Belinda Bencic.

“It was a great, relaxing start to the year, plus I played some really good tennis and I can’t wait to play again in Perth,” Federer said.

Southern maintains gap on the field

It was a tumultuous weekend for Mid Canterbury’s senior B rugby sides, with Southern continuing their unbeaten run, while Rakaia’s struggles continued, defaulting against Celtic.

In Hinds, the clash between

Southern and Hampstead was set to be a close one, with Hampstead coming off a strong run of form.

However, Southern’s class showed as they won 34-22.

Compounding a disappointing weekend for Hampstead was the fact the side was docked

points for fielding ineligible players in two matches they had won, which now leaves the side in seventh place with six points.

Playing at home, Allenton just snuck by Collegiate 11-10.

The win allowed fourth-placed Allenton to put a five-point gap

on fifth-placed Collegiate.

In the final match of the round, Mt Somers romped to a 36-12 victory against Methven.

That win sees Mt Somers sitting pretty four points behind league leaders Southern, while Methven sit in sixth place, one point behind Collegiate.

No malice, says Kaino

BY PATRICK MCKENDRY Jerome Kaino has come under a barrage of questions from the media about his charge at Conor Murray which Lions coach Warren Gatland has described as dangerous but which the All Blacks loose forward has called a timing issue.

Kaino attempted to disrupt a Murray kick early in last Saturday’s test at Eden Park, but missed and rolled into the halfback’s planted foot.

Gatland a day later described the act as concerning and told the media on arrival in Wellington that he would raise it with the match officials ahead of the second test, but Kaino has rejected accusations that he is a dirty player.

A patient Kaino appeared to welcome the chance to state his case in front of the media yesterday, adding some humour to the mix despite the potential for Gatland’s comments to besmirch his reputation.

To the first of many questions, he said: “It’s never our intent to injure someone outside the laws.

“We play hard and we play fair. But that incident was a oneoff and it was never our intention to single anyone out.”

Asked if it was a timing issue, he said: “He [Murray] is very quick at getting the ball to foot.

But what’s been said about malice and intention to hurt anyone, that’s never the case.”

To a question about whether

he felt he was lucky not to have been cited, the loose forward said: “I don’t know. It wasn’t my intention to play outside the rules. I wasn’t cited, so I don’t think I should have been.”

Asked whether he had seen it, Kaino said: “I’ve seen it reviewing the game and it’s popped up on my twitter feed about a million times. It’s hard to avoid it.

“All I can say is that it wasn’t my intention to target his foot.

The way we do things is within the spirit of the game.” - NZME

The Australian Cricketers’ Association is preparing for about 230 players to become unemployed, declaring it’s highly improbable the sport’s bitter pay conflict will be resolved this week. Days after rejecting Cricket Australia’s re-worked offer, players’ union president Greg Dyer reiterated calls for CA chief executive James Sutherland to enter the stalled negotiations that appear set to extend far beyond the June 30 deadline and affect upcoming tours. “It is extremely likely that as of July 1 we’ll be jumping over the cliff together,” Dyer said yesterday.

‘I’m not a favourite’ Double Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova has cautioned against making her one of the favourites to lift the title this year despite a stunning return from the hand injury that almost ended her career. The Czech won the Birmingham grasscourt event on Monday in only her second tournament since returning from the severe injuries to her left playing hand sustained in a knife attack by an intruder at her home last December. The 27-year-old will be high on most people’s lists of possible Wimbledon winners as she goes in search of a third title.
