The times are changing A

year in any sense, is a long time but a year in the world of news can often seem like an eternity.

In a similar tone to the messages from Andrew Falloon and Jo Luxton further on in these pages, if you’d asked me at the start of the year what I’d be doing come the end of December 2017, I would have laughed at the prospect of sitting in the editor’s chair at the Ashburton Guardian.

But, lo and behold, here we are.

When I stepped into the role back in July, I can honestly say I had no true idea of how important this little newspaper is to the community. But it is something I have quickly come to know as the time has progressed.

We are your mouthpiece, a platform in which you can tell your stories, share your news and keep up-to-date with the everyday life of people from within our wonderful district.

It is our goal to give you the platform in which to do all those and we will continue to strive to achieve that when the sun rises on 2018 too.

For the past few years the Guardian has been through an interesting phase.

We are one of very few papers in the country who can boast a narrow rise in readership each quarter and the

development of the Ashburton App has allowed us to reach out to more people than we have ever reached before.

As the world round us evolves and people’s habits change when it comes to how they prefer to view their daily news, the biggest challenge facing any news outlet is remaining current and keeping up with that demand while still meeting the every day needs of those who rely on the printed version.

This is no different in the Guardian offices either.

We have the development of the App, our busy Facebook page, the Guardian website and our good old trusty printed edition which has remained a pillar of the district since its inception in 1879 – yes, you read that right!

We’ve covered some interesting moments over the past 12 months.

Some have been entertaining, others tragic and many extremely interesting.

Factory inferno

Saturday, July 22, 2017

You’ve come with us, every step of the way, and not been hesitant to put your pen to paper and let us know what you think of what’s going on in little old Ashburton.

And we are truly grateful for that.

It is because of your pressure and demands – and the efforts of Tony Todd and Peter McQuarters, that the i-SITE may see a resurrection, so don’t believe for a minute that your voice, through our pages, doesn’t hold any sway, because it does.

We are keen to lift that profile in 2018. We want to ask more of the harder questions, be open and critical while also offering more opinion – including that of our writers, readers and correspondents.

The basic truth is that in order for us to keep coming to you six days a week, we need to continue to lift our game.

And that can only happen with your involvement.

So, on behalf of the team here at the Guardian, thanks so much for your support over the past 12 months.

We hope you have a safe, enjoyable New Year and send you best wishes for a prosperous 2018.

We’re looking forward to being a part of it.

Ready when you are

■ LONG-TERM PLAN

Investment in pools, stadium sought

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The demand for sports facilities in the Ashburton District is relentless and to satisfy that demand, new projects are likely to be built into the Ashburton District Council’s long-term plan, 2018-2028.

Councillors will start the long job of working through spending wish lists in January and among those items will be several sports facility enhancements.

On facilities manager Steve Prescott’s list are improvements he believes are needed to ensure what the council offers residents is relevant to their needs now and facilities that will remain popular well into the future.

Topping the list is an expansion of the EA Networks Centre’s swim school facilities.

Currently swim school sessions are almost fully subscribed and

are now limited by the amount of pool time available.

On Prescott’s list is a 25x20 metre swim school pool and an interactive splash zone. It would come with a $2.5 million price tag and he has slotted this into year one of the plan – 2018.

In year three, he is requesting about $5 million to extend the complex’s stadium including gym expansion, a climbing wall and meeting rooms.

Year two could see about $250,000 spent on foyer area redevelopment in the sports house area of the complex.

Looking further out Prescott is suggesting hydroslides as previously investigated at $2.5 million could come in year five (2022) and an ice rink built using a heat recovery system from the pool area could be on the horizon in year seven (2025) at a cost of $7.5 million.

Local police are focusing their efforts on traffic behaviour over the new year period.

■ ASHBURTON POLICE

Private or pubs, the only new year party options

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton might be more of a passing through spot rather than a New Year hot-spot and that means police are focusing their efforts on roading, rather than party patrols.

While they are not anticipating a busy New Year’s eve, Ashburton police have been focusing their efforts on ensuring motorists travelling through the district do so as safely as possible, says senior sergeant Scott Banfield.

“We’re having a lot of police presence on the highway during the day and so far, so good in Mid Canterbury, but people are doing some stupid things,” he said.

The main issues patrols were

finding between the Rakaia and Rangitata bridges was with people following too close and people passing when it was unsafe to do so, Banfield said.

“People are too impatient and we keep trying to get the message across, but we still see people overtaking on bends. People seem to think accidents won’t happen to them.”

He anticipates New Year will be a quiet event in the Ashburton District.

Police have visited the Lake Clearwater and Lake Camp area where there are usually larger gatherings of revellers, to undertake some prevention work ahead of tomorrow night, he said.

“We will have a presence up there, particularly in the after-

noon, but we don’t see this as a risk area.”

With Ashburton no longer holding a public new year’s eve event, Banfield said it would be treated as a normal night in terms of police patrols.

The last community street party was held in Ashburton in 2008. The first was held to usher in the new millennium and the event continued for several years before being canned in 2006 after it was marred by a number of violent incidents. It restarted but never attracted the initial large crowds.

This year revellers will have a choice of private parties or live bands at one of several hotels and clubs including the MSA and RSA, Braided Rivers and Methven’s Blue Pub.

All the signs good for 2018

By Andrew FAlloon

I

f you’d told me a year ago I’d become our local Member of Parliament in 2017 I’d have thought you quite mad.

But such was the unpredictable nature of 2017. For me, and for many of you, it was a year of huge change, of great highs, and a few lows.

A year where we had two elections: one on September 23 when 2.6 million New Zealanders voted, and then another on October 19 when one man, Winston Peters, decided who’d be the Government.

A year of great results locally.

The Crusaders winning (again).

Mid Canterbury upsetting a few giants at the South Island Sevens (and a solid, if not spectacular, season of Heartland rugby).

Champion Ashburton rower Veronica Wall again taking on the world at the World Rowing Championships. A superb season at Mt Hutt, capped off with being recognised as New Zealand’s best for the third consecutive year. An economy going from strength to strength, with one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country.

And the signs are good for 2018.

Despite literally marching against the Trans Pacific Partnership while in Opposition, Labour will ratify the TPP now they’re in Government. The TPP is a mammoth trade deal which will give our local farmers, manufacturers and exporters better and fairer access to markets like Canada, Japan and Chile.

Stage Two of Central Plains Water is under way, showing it’s possible to store more water when it’s available, and use it when it’s not.

But as always, there will be challenges.

Mycoplasma bovis has the potential to cost our dairy and beef industries hundreds of millions of dollars.

With confirmation of its spread beyond South Canterbury, the new Minister of Agriculture will need to throw every resource he has available to eradicate it while

Andrew Falloon. there’s still the chance.

With a strong local economy comes a low unemployment rate.

It’s a real struggle for many Mid Canterbury businesses to attract staff of any skill level.

We just don’t have the people available. I’ll be pushing the Labour Party to walk back on their commitment to “reduce net immigration by 20,000 to 30,000 a

year”, which would make it even harder.

With continued growth projected in our region we need to continue to invest in the infrastructure that supports that growth.

Unfortunately the new Coalition Government have shelved plans to build a four lane highway between Ashburton and

Allen’s Ashburton offer a great service

Christchurch in favour of rail projects in Auckland.

As your local MP I’ll continue to argue for it, along with a second bridge over the Ashburton River.

Both projects are sorely needed for current and future traffic volumes.

Despite a bit of rain recently Niwa’s drought index still classi-

fies most of Mid Canterbury as “extremely dry,” the step below drought.

Some more rain in January would be welcomed, if not by those of you off camping.

I’m confident Mid Canterbury will get through those challenges, as we always do. I wish you all the very best for a safe and happy 2018.

On a huge learning curve

By Jo Luxton

T

here is only one way to describe this year and that is, a roller-coaster ride.

Being a candidate in the general election is like having one of the longest job interviews ever!

Being a first time candidate with no political background or any real knowledge of how politics worked has been a huge learning curve for me but one I have loved every minute of.

My biggest fear during the campaign trail was public speaking. Public speaking was not something I have ever done before but I soon realised there was no escaping it.

As I look back over the year I realise how much I have grown not only as a person but in confidence as well and so I feel very fortunate to have had that opportunity.

I have really enjoyed bringing MPs into our electorate and showing them how fantastic this part of New Zealand is.

Many of these MPs are now ministers and I am looking forward to having more visits in the new year.

One of the first to come will be Minister Iain Lees-Galloway, we will hold public meetings to address people’s queries about our immigration policy, I have expressed to him that many people are unsure of the detail and the impact it will have for us here in Rangitata and he has listened, hence his visit to us early next year.

I enjoyed the camaraderie we experienced as candidates during the campaign, whilst we were in competition with each other I believe we all held respect for each other and enjoyed a bit of banter along the way.

I want to congratulate all the candidates for the huge effort they put it, no matter what the result, and I also offer a big congratulations to the winner being Andrew Falloon. I was disappointed that Mojo didn’t make it back in to Parliament, I think she has done so much during her time there and I believe she had

a lot more to give.

Since entering Parliament my eyes have been opened to the inner workings and just how much work goes on behind the scenes that we in the general public aren’t actually aware of.

The hours are long, I can be in my office from 8am until 10.30pm at night and only speak or see another person during Question Time in the house. It

can actually be quite lonely at times.

I am loving it though, it is amazing to be part of something that can make change that impacts on all New Zealanders, how privileged and lucky I am.

I was extremely honoured to be asked to deliver my Maiden Speech on the opening of Parliament and as a consequence of being the seconder to the mo-

not have otherwise had, so my challenge to people out there reading this is – have a go, have faith in your self, work hard because you never know where things may lead you and if you are even remotely interested in politics, get involved!

I want to thank everyone who has supported me this year and I wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year.

Christmas elderly wishes 2017 A surprise gift for residents

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Coldstream residents received a knock on the door and a surprise delivery just before Christmas.

Wanting to give residents a bite of home baking, Sally Smith had whipped up four

parcels of tasty treats.

Sally said when she first read of the Christmas Wishes, she wasn’t sure if she’d have the time to get involved. But she soon realised she could help bring a smile to someone’s face by spending a little time in the kitchen.

A helping hand in garden

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

When the Guardian urged Mid Canterbury to put forward their Christmas Wishes, Allenton School teacher aide Jane Slaven admitted a helping hand in her garden would be “magic”.

And just before Christmas that help arrived with a bucket of garden tools and a big smile on her face.

Lisa Williams took time out of her own hectic Christmas schedule to venture from Mayfield to Ashburton, and spend a couple of hours weeding and trimming alongside Jane, making her Allenton garden spick and span for summer.

“It’s a hard time of year to get caught up on everything, and it’s nice to help someone else get caught up,” said Lisa.

Fight on for slice of the ice cream pie

New Zealand dollar heads for gain in 2017 The New Zealand dollar is heading for a 1.9 per cent gain against the greenback in 2017 after getting a 1 per cent boost in a holidayshortened week as the US dollar remains on the backfoot.

The kiwi traded at 70.97 US cents as at 3pm yesterday in Wellington versus 70.82 cents at 8am and 70.75 cents on Thursday. That’s near a two-and-a-half month high and is up from 69.63 cents at the end of 2016. While the kiwi ended higher against the US, the trade-weighted index was at 74.14 yesterday versus 74.07 on Thursday and is down 4.4 per cent for the year.

Stuart Ive, senior dealer foreign exchange at OMF in Wellington, said the move into year-end is entirely related to positioning in US dollars and concerns about the impact of US tax reform.

Bank of New Zealand FX strate-

gist Jason Wong said the kiwi “was the best performing major currency in December, amidst a more positive dynamic for commodity currencies” as Brent crude rose to as much as $US67 per barrel, its highest level since mid-2015, the LME index, a broad measure of metal prices, was up around 7 per cent for the month and NZX whole milk dairy powder futures were up around 2.5 per cent, with drought conditions developing in New Zealand likely contributing to higher pricing.

Wong said the December rally pushed the kiwi back close to short-term fair value against the US dollar, increasing the chance of a modest pull-back in January. He expects it to largely track sideways in the next month.

The kiwi is also trading close to short-term fair value against the

Australian dollar, Wong said, with the kiwi trading at 91.03 Australian cents from 90.89 cents on Thursday and down around 5.4 per cent on the year.

The local currency traded at 59.42 euro cents from 59.39 cents on Thursday and is down around 10 per cent this year. It traded at 52.76 British pence from 52.72 pence on Thursday after shedding 6.8 per cent over the year. It was at 80.00 yen from 80.05 yen, down 1.2 per cent since the end of 2016 and at 4.6283 Chinese yuan from 4.6289 yuan, down 4.2 per cent on the year.

New Zealand’s two-year swap rate was down one basis point to 2.20 per cent on the day and fell 30 basis points on the year. The 10-year swap rate eased one basis point to 3.13 and was down 45 basis points on the year.

Birnie also led key financial negotiations to establish the Wellington Regional Stadium.

In a 2015 interview with the Herald about KidsCan Birnie said he expected the charity would still be needed in another 10 years.

“Just being practical and realistic, there is always going to be a level of poverty,” he said.

“I think we will continue to grow in terms of the support that we give and hopefully our overall objective, with the Government and private individuals, would be that all children that are in need are fed and clothed.”

Häagen-Dazs launched in New Zealand in September this year, selling tubs of ice cream in supermarkets nationwide.

Keezia Haste, marketing manager for Häagen-Dazs New Zealand, says the ice cream brand had proven popular with Kiwis and was “well on its way to becoming a firm favourite”, particularly its salted caramel flavour.

Twenty-three degrees Celsius is the magic number for Tip Top, Ballinger says.

New Zealand exports approximately 9000 tonnes of ice cream each year, at a value of around $41 million, according to Statistics New Zealand.

Premium ice cream brand Häagen-Dazs is the newest entrant to New Zealand’s ice cream industry and is set to take on Swedish rival

Chocolate Trumpets, closely followed by Choco Bars and then Boysenberry Trumpets, are Kiwis’ individual ice lollies of choice, according to Tip Top. Standard vanilla ice cream is another firm favourite, with Tip Top sales in the particular flavour spiking “significantly” during the lead up to Christmas.

Weather is also a determining factor of sales volumes.

Fellow US ice cream brand Ben & Jerry’s launched in New Zealand two years ago, opening its first New Zealand store in the Auckland suburb of Ponsonby in early 2016 followed by others around the country.

For Peter Cullinane, the founder of Lewis Road Creamery, the eureka moment for launching ice cream came when he was eating ice cream in Shanghai in 2015.

Tucking into a spoonful of strawberry ice cream made by Philadelphia-based and familyowned Bassetts Ice Cream, Cullinane thought the product was a benchmark to create his own.

Ice cream was added to Lewis Road Creamery’s product offering in February last year, launching with a rose-flavoured product.

Its most recent collaboration with Pic’s Peanut Butter has gone down a treat with Kiwis lapping up the nutty product in gallons, Cullinane says.

Cullinane says New Zealand’s ice cream industry was a busy market.

Auckland-based Emerald Foods has held the licence to premium ice brand Movenpick in New Zealand, owned by Swiss company Nestle, since 2002.

New Zealand is the second largest consumer of ice cream per capita in the world, with the average Kiwi consuming a whopping 23 litres per year.

Expenditure on ice cream and other edible ices totalled $381 million in the year to September 2017, up from $358m in 2016, with $2.10 of every $100 spent on food in New Zealand going on chilled treats, according to Statistics New Zealand.

With a population of approximately 4.8 million people, this means every person spends $79 per year, or $1.50 a week on average, on ice cream.

Auckland-based ice cream company Tip Top, which was founded 81 years ago, is a subsidiary of Fonterra Co-operative Group and employs 380 workers.

Fonterra Brands is the largest player in New Zealand’s ice cream and frozen desserts industry, holding a 53 per cent share of retail value sales, according to a report released by Euromonitor International earlier this year.

Summer is an important time of the year for the brand, with 60 per cent of all sales made throughout December, January and February, says director Kim Ballinger.

OUR VIEW

Positive or negative, the choice is yours Sue Newman

T

he new year is a time for reflection, a time for looking back at what has, or hasn’t been achieved.

But while looking back is a good way to measure the turning pages of your life, there’s a whole lot more to be gained by looking into the future.

What’s done or not done is behind us and there’s something refreshing about being able to shrug off the year that was and look forward to a new year that’s essentially a clean slate. A slate on which you can write anything you want.

Yes, the whole new year, new beginnings thing is a bit cheesy but it’s hard to resist the opportunity to draw a line under a past we can’t rewrite and look ahead to a future over which we have a fair amount of control.

Yes there will always be things that fate, circumstances or other people throw at you that you can’t change, but what you do have control over is the way you react.

Negative or positive, it’s up to you.

Yesterday I was dealt a healthy lesson in looking positively ahead by a colleague. He’d decided that ‘just do it’ would be his motto for the new year and had kicked that off, by an on the spur of the moment grabbing a cheap flight overseas to hear a band he’d loved for years. Full power to you buddy for starting the new year off on a great and positive note.

And yesterday, I was dealt the opposite lesson by an acquaintance who’s a cup half empty guy.

He hates his job, feels life has it in for him, can’t get out of his own way and reckons that if anything is going to go pear shaped for anyone it will go pear shaped for him. And guess what, it generally does.

The two very different blokes with two very different attitudes to life prove a point – you get out of life what you expect. Yes we can’t always get what we want, but how you play the cards you’re dealt is up to you.

Fill your year with positive thoughts and life will take care of itself.

YOUR VIEW Pipe band There have been a number of letters to the editor regarding the Ashburton County Scottish Society Pipe Band.

My brother and I have both been pipers all our lives. When we started piping in the 1950s, Pipe Bands had a strong “civic” function, leading the parade on Anzac Day, playing at school Gala Days, leading the Grand Parade at the A&P Show, and playing in the New Year.

The Ashburton Pipe Band continues to carry out similar civic duties and is a real asset to Ashburton.

Our family holds a KOSB (Kings Own Scottish Borderers) Glengarry and cap badge. It was presented to our grand-father, James Waugh, by Piper Daniel Laidlaw, VC (1875-1950), the Piper of Loos, of the 7th Battalion, King’s Own Scottish Borderers.

Laidlaw was awarded the VC for his actions in the Battle of Loos, September 25, 1915.

The largest battle on the Western Front in 1915, and also the bloodiest in the KOSB’s history.

LETTERS rejoined the army at age 40 serving as a piper in the 7th Battalion, KOSB. The citation to his Victoria Cross appeared in the London Gazette on November 18, 1915.

It reads “For most conspicuous bravery prior to an assult on German trenches near Loos and Hill 70. During the Battle of Loos at Hill 70, Piper Laidlaw mounted the trench parapet and marching up and down, played his company out of the trench.

The effect of his splendid example was immediate and the company dashed to the assault”.

Laidlaw’s own account says he moved forward with the troops still playing his pipes. Piper Laidlaw continued playing his pipes even after he was wounded (in the legs) and until the position was won.

Laidlaw’s own account says the tune he played was Blue Bonnets over the Border and The Standard on the Braes o’Mar, a grand tune for charging on.

Laidlaw later achieved the rank of Sergeant-Piper and retired from the Army in 1919.

Piper Laidlaw won the VC playing Scottish music, not for making noise on the battlefield.

There was undoubtedly plenty of other noise going on, like gas

and shrapnel shells exploding.

In the 1930s Daniel Laidlaw appeared in the film Forgotten Men, when he played the same tune he had piped the 7th KOSBs over the top with in 1915.

Our grandfather had seen that film and recognised Daniel Laidlaw in the Scottish Borders, in 1937, while walking in the countryside.

Laidlaw was surprised that a person from New Zealand knew who he was. They struck up a friendship and Laidlaw presented James Waugh with a Glengarry and KOSB cap badge. He also wrote an entry in my grand father’s Autograph Book, dated 13 -3-1938, at Norham, in Northumberland.

I rest my case that Pipe Bands play Scottish music (Not Noise).

Perhaps the Ashburton District Council should draw this matter to the attention of its “noise control” contractor, instead of hiding behind the RMA. As is often the case, there is nothing wrong with the Resource Management Act 1991.

The problem lies with the way councils administer the Act. It is time this issue with the Pipe Band was sorted out in a sensible manner.

Message with a message The Queen’s Christmas message was met with more excitement than usual this year, as fans of The Crown thought they had heard in it a subtle reference to the hit Netflix series. The Queen began her address by recalling her first televised Christmas broadcast, in 1957. “Sixty years ago today, a young woman spoke about the speed of technological change,” she said. “She presented the first television broadcast of its kind. She described the moment as a landmark.” To some viewers, the Queen’s reference to videostreaming technology – and to the plot of that episode – has been interpreted as a wry nod to Netflix.

Deadly restaurant fire Told to tone it down A fire broke out early yesterday in an upscale rooftop restaurant in Mumbai, India’s financial and entertainment capital, leaving at least 15 dead and a dozen injured, officials said.

The 1am fire quickly spread from the restaurant through a four-story building, said fire official Balkrishna Kadam.

The TimesNow television news channel said an artificial

bamboo ceiling in the restaurant burned quickly and collapsed as people tried to escape the fire. Most people died of suffocation from the smoke, it said.

More than 50 people were brought to a hospital, of whom 12 were being treated for injuries that were not life threatening, said Avinash Supe, a doctor at KEM Hospital.

The dead included 11 women, fire officials said.

“There was a stampede and someone pushed me. People were running over me even as the ceiling above me was collapsing in flames. Still don’t know how I got out alive,’” Mumbai gynecologist Sulbha Arora tweeted.

She said she was at the restaurant when the fire started

and “before we knew it the whole place was engulfed in a matter of seconds”.

The building houses several upscale restaurants that had moved in over the last few years to make it a popular nightlife destination.

Police filed a case of culpable homicide against the owners and the manager of the restaurant.

As property guru and queen of all things craft, Kirstie Allsopp has graced our television screens for nearly two decades. Despite her penchant for dresses with ornate frills and delicate laces, some critics have criticised her for a sometimes overbearing manner and a habit of speaking her mind that means she is never far from controversy. But, the 46-year-old presenter of Location, Location, Location has revealed how bosses at one production company issued her with an edict demanding she tone things down for today’s more right on audience.

White power salute from White House staff A former White House intern is coming under fire after flashing a known “white power” sign during a photo-op with President Donald Trump.

Jack Breuer, who graduated from Emory University in Atlanta this year, is clearly bucking orders – personally given by the president – to give a thumbs-up in the picture that was taken in the White House in November.

While the other hundred or so interns smile and follow Trump’s command, Breuer, a dentist’s son who grew up in Chicago’s western suburbs, stands stony-faced giving the OK sign that has been linked with far-right groups.

It is the same sign that white nationalist Richard Spencer gave on the steps of the Trump Hotel on election night and that right-wing provocateur

Milo Yiannopoulos posed with in front of the White House.

It was also seen at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August – the same day an alleged Nazi sympathiser accelerated his car into anti-protesters, killing one and injuring several others.

All those surrounding Breuer on the right side of the picture are using their left hands to give their thumbs-up, with him standing out by using his right hand.

Breuer’s controversial stand was only spotted when other interns were mailed the picture from the White House earlier this month – just in time for Christmas.

“Context is everything,” one fellow said. “Jack is pictured with President Trump, one of the most controversial leaders we’ve had.”

Blade Runner ‘too long’

It’s thumbs up from everyone – except for Jack.

Any cinemagoers who found this year’s sci-fi blockbuster Blade Runner 2049 a bit on the wearisome side are in good company. Ridley Scott, who was director of the original 1982 film Blade Runner, has described the 163-minute movie sequel as “f---ing way too long.”

Scott, 80, told New York magazine’s Vulture website that he saw himself as partly to blame for the film’s length.

“I have to be careful what I say,” he whispered, before continuing less carefully: “It was f---ing way too long.

F--- me! And most of that script’s mine.” Scott was an executive producer on the film, but not credited for any contribution to its script.

On top of his game Proud Ashburtonian Glenn Moore has had one of the busiest years in his career, winning the World Cup as coach of the Black Ferns, as well as scooping personal honours along the way.

Guardian sports reporter Jaime Pitt-MacKay caught up with Glenn when he stopped off in Ashburton to find out how his year has gone.

H

e might be one of the hottest names in New Zealand rugby at the moment, but not many probably know Glenn Moore does not work full time as a rugby coach, nor does he live in New Zealand.

The former Mid Canterbury, Highlanders, Blues and current Black Ferns coach currently lives in Brisbane, and spends his days managing a salad company that employs around 800 people.

“It can be challenging, but the business is really supportive of my coaching, even though I think they would prefer it if I was coaching an Australian team,” he laughed.

“I’ve spent many nights after work working away on coaching stuff.”

Moore has been coach of the Black Ferns for three years, with the World Cup always being the end goal during that time.

“We knew we were going to build the team and that we would need to progress the systems so that it would be continually developing,” he said.

“We tried to run it like a Super Rugby set-up, which is challenging when everyone is working day jobs, so there were a lot of weekend camps.”

Despite already having four world cups locked away in the trophy cabinet and a fearsome record behind them, nothing about the world cup was easy.

“After the final (against England) I felt mentally drained,” he said.

“We had to win differently that game which was something dif-

ferent with having to change our tactics, and putting all that focus in was draining.”

Heading into the final however, Moore said nerves were out of the equation, and he instead felt very calm.

“We had a few different game concepts with the players and the girls executed them perfectly,” he said.

“Despite being down at half time the girls were walking out of the tunnel saying we can do this and there was not one ounce of panic.

“We took them on at their own strengths and they hadn’t expected that, which was great to do.”

Off the back of the super successful year the side and its stand-out performers have been scooping up awards left, right and centre.

The team won the team of the year award at the international rugby awards, with Portia Woodman also scooping up the women’s player of the year.

They also had a successful evening at the New Zealand rugby awards, with Moore winning the coach of the year, while the Black Ferns once again won the team of the year, with Sarah Goss winning the women’s player of the year.

“It is very humbling.

“I never thought for one minute I would see my name up there, but really it is recognition of the coaching team,” Moore said.

“Having been back for a month I have seen how important it has been and seeing now that the players are getting recognition and the desire to have them involved is fantastic.”

Moore has also been nominated for a Halberg award in the coach of the year category.

“It has just been amazing to be involved with something that has captured that much attention to warrant that kind of award,” he said.

Despite the awards and the large media coverage the team received, Moore is concerned about the development of professional women’s sport in Australia posing a threat to New Zealand’s future.

“Seeing how much women’s sport is growing over in Australia is interesting, with the AFL starting a women’s competition, the women’s cricket and now the NRL starting a competition, there is a real danger our girls could be lured over to play league,” Moore said.

There was a lot of debate after the World Cup around the payment of the women’s players, but Moore believes it is not time for a

professional league in New Zealand yet.

“The time will possibly come for women’s rugby to go professional in New Zealand, but the thing we really need is a lot of depth first,” he said.

“Watching a few games with Tana (Umaga) at schools’ tournaments and curtain-raisers for Blues games we could see the talent was there, but the important thing is to give these kids a pathway so they carry on playing rugby after high school and don’t go off to play other sports.”

While he waits to see what the year ahead holds at the helm of the Black Ferns, Moore said he has received other coaching offers, but nothing that has made him decide to change course.

“I don’t know (when asked about a return to Super Rugby coaching), I get offers pretty regularly and even got one right after I picked up the award,” he said.

Glenn Moore was assistant coach at the Highlanders for two seasons.

England a big threat says McCaw

Winning partnership: Mid Canterbury Hammers’ skipper Jon Dampney walks off the Ashburton Showgrounds with coach Glenn Moore after winning the Meads Cup in 2013.

‘New Zealand the hardest place to coach’ “I’ve also gotten offers from overseas but turned them down as I’ve always said I wanted to coach in New Zealand because I believe it is the hardest place in the world to do it.”

With the All Blacks being the pinnacle of rugby in New Zealand, Moore is not shy about the fact he would one day like to be part of the coaching set-up.

“A lot of people don’t want to say it because if it doesn’t happen it could be viewed as a failure but I don’t believe in that,” Moore said.

“You have always got to have goals and aspirations and it is always about being able to perform and focus on getting to the top.”

While Moore does not believe the All Blacks will walk the next world cup, he expects them to have plans in place for the tournament.

“I don’t think they will ever think that they will walk a tournament but clearly have a plan in place with the likes of Ben Smith taking this year off,” he said.

“I think they are very brave with some of the risks they have taken this year and some of the experience they will be giving to the younger players will put them in great stead for 2019.”

Mid Canterbury’s own Tim Perry was called into the All Blacks this year, something Moore said was great to see.

“That was pretty cool to see when he was only playing for Mid Canterbury four or five years ago,” he said.

“I think Heartland rugby still has an important role in the system and there are players like Tim, Marty Banks and Waisake

Naholo have come through it, and it really is part of the fabric of rugby in New Zealand and long may it continue.”

It has been an up and down coaching career for Moore, moving between all tiers of the regional game throughout his career, starting out at North Otago before moving to Otago and then the Highlanders, before leaving there and joining Mid Canterbury.

He has had plenty of mentors throughout his time in the coaching box, including Graham Henry, along with spending a lot of time with Wayne Smith.

“He was very influential and it was nice to get a text from him after I picked up the award,” he said.

It was at the Highlanders where he came across some of the players that left lasting impressions.

“One season we brought through Ben Smith, Izzy Dagg and Adam Thomson all at the same time,” he said.

“Ben really stood out for

me, not just the way he played but also how he carried himself off it.”

In his two seasons at Mid Canterbury where the Hammers won back-to-back Meads Cups, there were plenty of highlights.

“I dropped back down from the Highlanders which doesn’t happen very often and to bring back that success after 20 years was great, and to see some of the joy on the faces when we first won it (the Meads Cup), was special,” he said.

It was in a semi-final against the West Coast when Moore’s funniest coaching moment occurred.

“I didn’t find it very funny at the time but looking back on it I can laugh.

“We were playing the West Coast in a semi-final and they had just scored near the end to take the lead and one of their fans came over and tried to tip a can of beer over my head,” Moore said.

“I wanted to have a go at him but we had a few set plays for that moment, one of which was a short kick-off down the middle which we scored from in the last second, so that was pretty great.”

While he might currently live on the other side of the Tasman, Ashburton still holds a special place in Moore’s heart.

“My roots are still here, my parents still live here and I am really grateful for all the experiences I had here,” he said.

“There was something special about coming back to coach where I played and to be able to put something back was really special.”

Not many coaches get to hold up a World Cup.

Legendary All Black Richie McCaw believes that the confidence Eddie Jones has restored to England poses the biggest threat to the All Blacks ahead of the 2019 World Cup in Japan.

McCaw, who was capped 148 times by New Zealand, led his country to World Cup triumphs in 2011 and 2015.

He has identified traits in England that have been constant in the great All Blacks sides and senses that Jones’s men, perhaps for the first time since Sir Clive Woodward’s side were crowned world champions in 2003, genuinely believe they can become the No.1 side in Japan.

New Zealand’s first match against England in four years, at Twickenham next November, has been described as one of the most eagerly anticipated fixtures in the build-up to the World Cup. McCaw believes the All Blacks, having used 2017 as a foundation year for Japan, must pull ahead again to nullify England’s attempt to hunt them down.

Jones’s side have lost just once in 22 tests since he took charge in 2016, moving up to second in the world rankings.

New Zealand have just endured their worst year since 2009, suffering two defeats and one draw in 14 tests, including the British and Irish Lions tour.

The match at Twickenham will be one of the acid moments in the battle for world supremacy.

In the 15 test matches between the sides since Woodward’s side inflicted a famous defeat on New Zealand in Wellington in June 2003, England have managed just one victory, the 38-21 win in December 2012.

“I think England are getting confidence with how they are playing,” McCaw said.

“There is no doubt Eddie has instilled some confidence in what they are doing and they are playing rugby that is pretty smart.

“I suspect that the English are probably at that point where they do actually think they are on the right track.”

McCaw has been impressed by the All Blacks’ ability to juggle huge expectation for winning with the need to bring through younger talent.

He uses New Zealand’s 33-18 win over Wales in November as an example of the side’s ruthlessness, a winning instinct he recognises in Jones’s England now too.

“It was a real arm wrestle and the All Blacks didn’t have a lot of ball but they got one or two opportunities and bang, they made it count,” McCaw added.

Yet, in McCaw’s final analysis, there are words of warning for England.

“Rather than looking over your shoulder about who might be coming, you have to keep looking forward at where and how you can be better because you know that everyone else will be better.”

In brief

■ REEFTON

Pats Dragon eyes bonus A number of intriguing little battles await for those on the annual West Coast circuit when they roll into Reefton today for the final of three days’ worth of racing.

The race is still very much on for the popular West Coast Bonus which is awarded to the best performed horse over the three days of racing on the circuit, with points allocated for placings from first through to fourth.

The impressive Pat’s Dragon is the only horse to have won on both days of the meeting so far.

The promising Greg and Nina Hope-trained runner cleared maidens impressively on Tuesday but made his second day assignment look even easier as he went up in grade.

The four-year-old son of Ohoka Arizona won by four-and-ahalf lengths in the hands of Ricky May, who also won earlier in the day with stablemate Asset Control.

With 10 points in the kitty, the ball is firmly in Pat’s Dragon’s court when he arrives at Reefton today.

Brown and Samantha Ottley.

He is joined on seven points

by Midfrew Tarpediem, who ran third in the race won by Baileys Knight.

On six points, contenders include dual runners-up, Scallywag Sam, Old Oak Ellie and Augusta, along with Baileys Knight who was very impressive for young trainer Jack Harrington.

Driven confidently by Dexter Dunn, the four-year-old worked to the lead and won comfortably – capping a decent day for Dunn after he won with Pay Me The Change.

Despite a double, Dunn still sits in second, three points behind Ricky May’s 30 points in the drivers’ competition, which carries a $2500 prize with Jimmy Curtin in third on 24 points.

The same prizemoney is up for grabs in the trainers’ division and it’s no surprise that Greg and Nina Hope are leading the charge in that race with an impressive 33 points – 18 points clear of Kevin Townley with Jimmy Curtin, Carl Markham and Jack Harrington next up on 13 points.

In brief

■ CRICKET

Windies crash again By andrEw aldErson Two overs dictated New Zealand’s dominance of the West Indies in their 47-run opening Twenty20 victory in Nelson yesterday.

The first was the final over of the hosts’ innings, having been asked to bat at Saxton Oval.

New Zealand were 162 for seven; an innings which had ebbed and flowed against some quality West Indies’ bowling.

Kesrick Williams took the ball.

Santner cleared his hip and clobbered the first ball into the sightscreen.

A no-ball came next.

That was walloped through mid-wicket with the bonus of a free hit.

A single was squeezed to longon off another no-ball, then Tim Southee swung two to deep midwicket, followed by a dot ball reprieve.

As if Williams hadn’t had enough trouble, he was noballed for height next ball, as Southee stepped down the wicket and top edged to the fine leg fence.

A bye, followed by a brace of Santner twos into the legside completed a 25-run haul from nine balls.

That tipped the game in New Zealand’s favour with the required run rate ballooning to 9.4 per over.

The next pivotal over was the third of the West Indies innings.

T20 debutant Seth Rance was struggling, having been hit for seven runs from three balls with no protection behind square on the offside.

Suddenly, a bowler who looked like prey became the predator.

Chris Gayle shaped to pull, but a top edge sailed toward a vacant short fine leg.

A blur of limbs dived through the air as if saving a wallet from vanishing into an abyss.

Wicketkeeper Glenn Phillips produced one of the catches of the summer as Gayle exited for 12 off eight balls.

Rain is threatening to ruin England’s hopes of a dead-rubber victory at the MCG, having washed out most of the second session on day four of the fourth test. Australia was on 2-103 at tea yesterday, trailing by 61 runs with David Warner and Steve Smith as the tourists’ most imposing roadblocks as they seek to restore some pride after relinquishing the urn in Perth. Australia’s hopes of another whitewash had been extinguished by Alastair Cook’s record knock. Showers forced umpires to stop play post-lunch and further rain was expected. - AAP

They have combined international experience of almost 700 matches, yet three former New Zealand stars will soon play in a tournament unlike any they have encountered before – on a frozen lake at the foot of the Swiss Alps. Former Black Caps skipper Daniel Vettori, and all-rounders Nathan McCullum and Grant Elliott will feature in two T20 matches for a team called the Royals in the annual Ice Cricket festival in St Moritz.

- NZME

Change a good thing

Colin Munro scored 53 of New Zealand’s runs as they beat the West Indies yesterday.

Next Chadwick Walton flayed a full, wide Rance offering to fellow debutant Anaru Kitchen at cover.

Walton could have picked anywhere else in an arc of 45 degrees to reach the boundary.

He disappeared for seven off nine balls.

Rance finished with three wickets for 30 from his allotment, which included the final lbw of Samuel Badree.

New Zealand exhibited a polished bowling and fielding display.

Ish Sodhi had Andre Fletcher stumped by Phillips for 27 off 25 balls in the ninth over, intensifying the pressure.

That dismissal came in a period where New Zealand conceded just one boundary in 43 balls between the seventh and 15th overs.

The parsimony of Sodhi, Mitchell Santner and Doug Bracewell crushed the visitors’ momentum.

Carlos Brathwaite showed signs of optimism with 21 off 14 balls, until he belted a Southee delivery to what could have been mistaken for a statue of Tom Bruce at wide long on.

Phillips collected three catches to complement his stumping.

He had already branded his mark on the game through an 86-run second-wicket partnership from 60 balls with Colin Munro.

Munro made 53 from 37 balls, his fourth international T20 halfcentury.

Phillips eased to 55 from 40 after previous innings of five and 11 against South Africa and India respectively.

The pair built a platform that enabled Ross Taylor (20 from 12 balls), Kitchen (12 from nine) and Santner (23 from 11) to capitalise in the final overs.

Badree delivered his customary economy and spin variations, taking one for 22 from four overs.

Brathwaite and Jerome Taylor took a couple of wickets each but Williams, who bowled tidily in his first three overs, let any advantage slip at the death.

Brathwaite admitted his side’s mindset had been changed by Williams’ disastrous over.

“The first 19 overs, we bowled as well as we did.

“You know, it happens – Kesrick has been the best bowler in the world for this calendar year,” Brathwaite said.

“You know, he just went awry.”

Ichi Ban claims overall Syd Hob win Matt Allen’s latest incarnation of Ichi Ban has taken out overall honours in the 2017 Sydney to Hobart, giving the veteran yachtsman his first Tattersall’s Cup. The crew of the 52-footer was officially named as handicap winner yesterday, more than a day after docking in Hobart.

It was Allen’s maiden overall win in 28 years of skippering a boat in the bluewater classic.

Rain thwarts England

Cricket – on the ice

ian Sailing, said Ichi Ban took on heavy water as it was pushed to the limit in windy conditions unlike anything he’d seen.

The yacht, half the size of line honours winner LDV Comanche, broke two spinnakers as it sped down Tasmania’s east coast at up to 28 knots.

“Luckily the last one we put up, we designed it to be really, really strong,” Allen said.

“If that had broken, we wouldn’t be standing here.”

Ichi Ban was locked in a duel with main rival and fellow NSW

52-footer Quest but managed to reach the River Derwent first.

A lack of wind all but halted their progress in a crawl to the line.

“We thought we were going to lose the race when we were in the Derwent and parked up,” Allen said.

Ichi Ban arrived on Thursday morning eighth past the post and one hour ahead of Quest.

It was then a nervous wait for Allen and his crew as other boats in contention slowly approached the line.

But chances Patrice, Concubine and Chutzpah all fell short of their goal.

Allen was one of the crewmen aboard Lou Abraham’s Challenge II boat when it took out overall honours in 1983 and he finished fifth last year at the helm of an older version of Ichi Ban. “We’ve spent so much time trying to perfect this race and to finally do it, is just a dream,” Allen said.

“Well be back next year to defend and we can’t wait.”

Having his AFL dream ripped from under him by Kevin Sheedy was perhaps the best thing ever to happen to Alex Carey. The swashbuckling Adelaide Strikers and South Australian batsman and wicketkeeper has since put himself firmly in the frame for Australian representative honours. On the tail of a stellar 12 months, the 26-yearold hit an unbeaten 83 from 59 balls in the Strikers’ six-run BBL win over the Sixers on his way to man-of-the-match honours. - AAP

Umpire rebukes Root Umpires have seemingly cautioned England about their bounce returns at the MCG, a tactic used to scuff one side of the ball and quickly attain reverse-swing. Joe Root, Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson were all involved in a tense discussion with umpire Sundaram Ravi on the morning of day four of the fourth Ashes test.

The Nine Network suggested the discussions were about the fact Root and many team-mates had failed to return the ball on the full to keeper Jonny Bairstow.

Djokovic set to return Former world No.1 Novak Djokovic will face Spain’s Roberto Bautista Agut in his comeback match in Abu Dhabi. Bautista Agut, ranked 20th, defeated young Russian Andrey Rublev 7-5 6-2 in the quarter-finals of the Mubadala Championship.

Djokovic has not played since shutting down his season following his quarter-final exit at Wimbledon because of an elbow injury.

Muguruza up for fight Garbine Muguruza says she’s ready for battle as an evenly-matched group of women vie for tennis’ No.1 ranking in 2018. The current No.2 and Wimbledon champion was enjoying the Queensland sunshine yesterday ahead of Sunday’s Brisbane International, where she will be top seed. Five women took turns at the top of the charts and four won grand slams in 2017, with the Spaniard tipping another close season about to commence. - AAP

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You want to help, but you also realise people might need to take things as far as they can on their own first. You don’t want to rob anyone of the chance at the kind of confidence that only autonomy can bring.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Shakespeare suggested, “Assume a virtue, if you have it not.” Dare to enact the virtue you seek today and you just may wind up with it by the end of the day.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): If you found out the whole world was made for you, would that change the way you enjoyed it? Maybe it was; maybe it wasn’t. But there are certainly pleasures around you that are not to be missed.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ll finish the job you started to the best of your ability, impediments notwithstanding. Most of them will back down (even the inanimate ones), as if they realise that you’re coming forward regardless.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’re ready to follow advice, even though it may lead you out of your way and take a great deal of effort. You can’t argue with success. And a proven success formula is something to adhere to.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): People who talk about what kind of person they are may as well be waving a red flag in your face. Usually just about everyone is the opposite of what they proclaim, at least some of the time.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Casual conversation will lead you to realise that you have stories you haven’t quite learned how to tell yet, but you’re getting better and better at it. In fact, you’re downright entertaining tonight.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The people who make you want to put on your cool clothes, say your clever lines, behave as the best version of you – those are the ones to keep around.

You’re about to step up your game like crazy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): It won’t pay to be too picky in matters of food or entertainment, but you can afford to be picky in some matters this weekend – love, for one. You’ll be better off for being selective in matters of romance.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Before you do what you planned, consider that your day could go a few different ways. What if your favourite person was the one who was looking out for you? What would this person tell you to do?

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You know free spirits, and people who have lived in the same place for decades if not a lifetime. You have something to learn from both these extremes now, as you experiment with your ideas about home.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Life seems to be moving quickly, and it’s why you’ll take pictures. Also, your artistic eye is keen now, and you notice pretty things, unusual things and things that you’re not likely to capture on any other day.
