The behaviour of the drivers on that road [SH1] is appalling – Phil Dean

DRIVING APPALLING

Mid Canterbury motorists need to wake up to their appalling driving habits, says Ashburton’s top cop Phil Dean.

Dean was commenting following police issuing 20 infringement notices in the past few weeks to drivers following too closely behind other motorists on the Northern Motorway in Christchurch.

The Ashburton sub-area commander and senior sergeant said it was just lucky

there were not more fatal crashes on State Highway 1 both north and south of Ashburton, considering the high number of motorists ignoring the two-second rule.

He also took a swipe at illegal use of cellphones while driving and the high speeds motorist were travelling either side of Ashburton. And the worst offenders were generally people travelling as part of their daily routine, such as business people, workers and farmers.

“The behaviour of the drivers on that road is appalling,” Deans said.

“I’m constantly stopping people and issuing notices and also issuing warnings about following distances.

“We all learned the two-second rule as children, yet it seems to be falling on deaf ears.”

DVD players fast becoming victim of online streaming

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

DVD players are heading the same way as video players and floppy discs – straight into the dustbin of defunct technology.

Recently British retailer John Lewis hit headlines when it announced it will no longer put the players on shelves when stocks run out.

The rise in streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu has seen movie consumers flock online for their entertainment.

John Lewis management said they would continue to sell Bluray players, which connect to the internet and can also be used for DVDs. 100% Smith and Church Ashburton salesperson Scott Ackroyd said sales of DVD players at the store had halved in the last three years.

Today the store stocked only

one model of DVD player, alongside several Blu-ray players, as the technology fell by the wayside in the era of online streaming.

“The majority of TVs we sell are smart TVs,” Ackroyd said.

The televisions operate on both remote and voice-command, so viewers can choose to either watch television or connect to the internet for streaming and hire or purchase of movies.

“We all have our favourite DVD collections, but this has all the movies you want,” he said, while flicking through a huge selection on Google Play on one of the large televisions in store.

He said DVD players may ultimately go the way of VHS players, which had not been in store for at least 10 years. However 100% Smith and Church would continue to sell them as long as people wanted them.

Not yet obsolete – DVD players are still on shelves in Ashburton, although only just. 100% Smith and Church salesperson Scott Ackroyd says the store will continue to stock them as long as people buy them.

■ ROYAL VISIT

Our MP basks in royal glow

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Not everyone at Government House on Sunday evening got to meet Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but our own Labour List MP was one of the lucky ones.

Jo Luxton was among MPs who attended the Wellington reception celebrating 125 years of suffrage, and was delighted to have the opportunity of meeting the princess.

“She was very lovely, very beautiful, very gracious, spoke very well,” Luxton said.

She and her fellow, mainly female, MPs who attended had

been briefed on etiquette prior to the event. They were thus prepared to address the Duchess of Sussex as “Your Royal Highness”, and either curtsy or shake her hand.

However, upon meeting Meghan, the princess took the lead and shook hands and said hello to Luxton and three of her fellow female MPs who were in a group together at the time.

This meant there was no need for curtsying and using the formal address.

“She was very down to earth as well, that’s what was quite nice about her as well.”

The three fellow MPs were

Priyanca Radhakrishnan, Jan Tinetti and Ginny Andersen.

The group conversed briefly with Meghan, who asked about one of the biggest issues faced by women in New Zealand today, and they talked about things ranging from pay equity to family violence.

Luxton was admittedly disappointed she did not get the same opportunity to meet Prince Harry, however, the time she spent in the glow of a real princess more than made up for it.

While the reception, hosted

by Governor-General Dame Patsy Reddy, was a once-in-a-

lifetime event, there was no opportunity for photos as phones and bags had to be left outside.

The evening started off in a dramatic fashion, as a fire alarm went off shortly after guests arrived and the venue had to be evacuated.

Newshub reported the culprit was a clothes steamer which got a little too excited by the impending royal visit, triggering the smoke alarm.

The alarm derailed the start a of the event, meaning guests did not end up having as much time as they would have liked to have mixed and mingled and met the royal couple.

Driving appalling From P1 The minimum legal following distance is 34 metres for 81 kilometres per hour or more, and 36 metres for 91 kilometres per hour or more.

Deans appealed to Mid Canterbury motorists to wake up to their driving habits, and to be safer, particularly as the holiday season approached.

The New Zealand road toll climbed to over 300 this month and may match or eclipse last year’s horror toll of 380.

“Between now and Christmas there will be people who won’t make it to Christmas, they will say goodbye to their loved ones in the morning and won’t come home that night,” Deans said.

■ RANGITATA WETLANDS

A helping hand for wetlands

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

A natural wetlands being enhanced by a Mid Canterbury dairy farmer had a helping hand from 140 Hinds School students last week.

The students, plus members of the Hinds Lions Club, helped plant 800 native plants in wetlands beside the Rangitata River, near State Highway 1.

Dairy farmer Ian Thornton had identified the swampy area down a steep terrace and saw potential to enhance the wetlands with some minor earthmoving and the addition of more native plants.

He began developing the idea three years ago.

His first job was to create access to the site, by building a sloping track from the grass paddock above. The plan was to remove the weeds and allow for natural regeneration of native species already there.

Thornton said planting 800 natives last week was a way to give the project a good kickstart.

The wetlands has the support of the Ashburton Water Zone Committee and was recently protected by a QEII covenant. That means even if Thornton sells the land, the next owner must protect the wetlands too.

The farmer said last week’s planting concentrated on the first of potentially four stages. The natives planted were eco-sourced, with seed collected from the area and grown into plants by Peter Keller of Geraldine. Ines Stager, national Forest and Bird board member, helped by drawing up a planting plan.

The students and Hinds Lions Club members planted matipo, cabbage trees, kanuka and native flaxes.

Thornton said the area also featured insects, native earthworms, native mussels, long-finned eel and lots of frogs.

“This is giving it a major boost.

We identified what was here, protected it and are allowing it to propagate itself. This planting is giving a helping hand with that.”

The area is fenced off from stock and on Thornton’s private land, but he is happy to share it with visitors who ask permission.

Ten-year-olds Emily and Trident said they were pleased to put on gumboots and help with the planting and had learned how to protect the new plants from hares and rabbits.

Teacher Caroline Hitchcock said it was a great learning opportunity and the school hoped to have a long-term relationship with the wetlands.

Thornton and his wife Sue had welcomed their involvement.

“We know that kids build connections through getting out into the local environment and giving back and we want these kids to know our Hinds area. We have been looking for experiences and this was the perfect opportunity.”

Many hands make light work. Hinds School students joined with Hinds Lions Club members to assist dairy farmer Ian Thornton in enhancing his wetlands area with native plantings.

Greyhounds make ideal pets

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ask Gemma Smith which breed of dog makes the best pet and she’s quick to answer – a retired greyhound.

As the South Island’s rehoming manager for Adopt a Greyhound, and owner of two retirees herself, Smith knows that there’s much more to the sleek, lean dogs than just the race track.

She’s been with the organisation for 10 years and over that time 1500 dogs have found new homes.

“Back in the ’80s there wasn’t much awareness around rehoming but now, as a community, we understand and care a lot about our pets,” Smith said.

That greater awareness that greyhounds could enjoy another life off-track, however, has led to a backlog of dogs looking for homes.

“We have about 60 dogs waiting for homes at any one time from trainers. There are more dogs looking for homes every year.”

Even though their lives may have been largely spent in kennels and on the race track, greyhounds made great pets and quickly adapted to retirement life, she said.

Each dog that comes forward for rehoming is put through a rigorous assessment programme to determine whether or not it is suitable for its new life.

If it passes it is then matched with a family or an individual.

While greyhounds spend their

Driving day postponed Wet weather this week has put paid to Methven Travel’s Ladies Driving Day at Mt Harding Racecourse. Originally planned for Wednesday, it has now been postponed. A new date is to be advised, and organisers say this is likely to be February next year.

Coaches, vans and buses were to be on-site for visitors to try out, and a qualified driving trainer and representative from the Bus and Coach Association, as well as Methven Travel’s female staff, were to be available to talk to visitors.

Three-car accident A three-car accident late yesterday morning blocked one lane of the SH1 near Fairton. Emergency services were called to the scene around 11.10am to the accident which involved three vehicles. A police media-spokesperson said they were unable to provide any information on the condition of those in the vehicles. Southbound traffic was directed through the business estate while emergency services worked to clear the scene.

racing life chasing furry lures around a race track, about 50 per cent of those rehomed live happily with cats, Smith said.

There was a trend today to make earlier decisions on whether a dog would make it on the track and that meant quite a few younger dogs were now available for rehoming, she said.

“The average age was 3 to 5 now it’s 2 to 4. Dogs at this age are really good for people who want a young dog but don’t want to go through the puppy stage.

“These dogs have adult brains and they can learn a lot quicker.

They’re a remarkable breed and they settle very quickly into home life.”

The dogs are desexed, microchipped and registered before they start their domestic life.

Owners pay an adoption fee of around $380 to cover these costs and veterinary bills.

Greyhounds are one of the world’s oldest breeds. Most do not bark, don not smell and have a short, easy care coat.

Seeing red for a great fundraising cause Save The Children Ashburton members will be on East Street this Friday selling souvenirs and goodies, and raffle tickets to support the organisation’s new national fundraiser, Charlie’s Challenge.

President Liz Quaid said members would be outside Denim Den on East Street from 8.30am until 12.30pm selling

In brief

knitting, souvenirs, baking preserves and gift items.

They will also be selling tickets for the branch’s Christmas raffle, the proceeds of which will go to Charlie’s Challenge.

Mid Canterbury people, as well as others all around the country, are being challenged to wear red, run in red or eat red during the week of November

20-27. The fundraiser will help Save the Children in New Zealand and around the world help give children a healthy start in life.

The organisation is always among the first to respond and the last to leave, ensuring children’s unique needs are met and their voices heard.

Quaid said there was not a

certain amount of money challenge participants needed to raise and people could combine the different challenges if they wanted.

Challenge ideas included organising a red-themed dinner or morning tea, or running or walking while wearing red.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

Three times alcohol limit A Lismore man was more than three-times the legal breath alcohol limit when his vehicle crossed the centre line on Maronan Road in August and hit an oncoming vehicle, the Ashburton District Court was told yesterday.

Reinan Karl Bayucot Arado, 34, was breath-tested after the crash and found to be driving with 795mcg – the legal limit is 250mcg.

Police sergeant Ian Howard said Arado claimed to be delivering a cellphone when he set out driving on Maronan Road about 9pm on August 21. His vehicle crossed the centre line into the path of the other vehicle, he failed to correct and collided with it.

The collision caused significant damage to the other car, the prosecutor said.

Arado’s lawyer Marilyn Gilchrist asked Judge Joanna Maze not to enter a conviction on the charges of drink driving and careless use, which Arado admitted.

She said she would be making an application for a discharge without conviction.

Judge Maze obliged, though

she said that was no indication of the outcome.

“Obviously you need to discuss matters fully with the prosecutor to see if a formal application is required.”

Arado was remanded to December 17 for sentence. The matter will also be referred for restorative justice, where the defendant can try to make amends with his car crash victim.

Police are seeking $500 reparation to cover the excess on the victim’s insurance claim.

Others to appear before Judge Maze: Jesse Ross Stewart, 21, of Ashburton, admitted driving with excess breath alcohol in Christchurch on September 27. He blew 505mcg when breath-tested.

He was fined $350, ordered to pay $130 court costs and disqualified from driving for six months.

Tayla Maree Walker, 22, of Ashburton, was fined $450 after admitting a charge of driving with excess breath alcohol. She blew 599mcg when breath-tested by police on Moore Street just after

midnight on October 21.

Walker was also ordered to pay $130 court costs and disqualified from driving for six months.

Rebecca Isabella Spain, 20 of Wakanui, admitted drink driving on West Street on October 27. She blew 702mcg when breath-tested by police about 11.30pm.

She was fined $550, ordered to pay court costs of $130 and disqualified from driving for six months.

David George Te Kapa, 56, a shearer of Rakaia, admitted driving with excess breath alcohol on Railway Terrace at Rakaia on September 19. He was breath-tested by police and blew 514mcg; it was his second drink driving offence.

Te Kapa was fined $600, ordered to pay court costs of $130 and disqualified from driving for six months.

Uikelotu Fanga, 36, had a few drinks at home while he watched Tonga play Australia on October 20 – he should have said no when friends called him several hours

later to pick them up from an Ashburton night club.

But he didn’t, and got behind the wheel. Not long after, someone complained about his driving and police stopped him on Moore Street – he was breathtested and blew 795mcg.

Fanga, a freezing worker, was fined $650, ordered to pay court costs and disqualified from driving for six months.

A Methven man charged with refusing to give a blood specimen, refusing to accompany and failing to remain stopped for police was remanded for sentence on November 19.

Maurice Dominic James Fitzgerald, 65, was considering a special application to avoid disqualification, his lawyer told the court.

The offences occurred in Methven on June 1.

Judge Maze was surprised to find Kane Regan Beattie was in credit with the Department of Justice when she was considering penalties for charges of assault, intentionally damaging a cell-

phone and breach of supervision.

Beattie, who had been previously paying fines, was in credit by $725.

The judge helped him adjust his balance, by taking $180 for reparation for the damaged cellphone and $545 in an emotional harm payment for his assault victim.

She advised Beattie to stop his automatic payments.

She also imposed a sentence of nine months’ supervision and ordered Beattie to take counselling for family violence issues.

Beattie had pinned his partner’s arm down and pulled her hair in front of a child. He smashed the phone when someone tried to intervene.

Judge Maze said exposing children to the trauma was a significant concern.

“Research shows children are deeply harmed by witnessing domestic violence.”

She told Beattie it was his last chance to follow court orders. “If you don’t survive this sentence, it is likely your non co-operation could result in a sentence of imprisonment.”

A peek behind the garden gate

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When the Methven Care Trust decided to take people behind the front door of several homes in the Methven area, they hit the jackpot.

Building on the desire most people have to see inside some of the district’s beautiful homes, the trust established a House & Garden Tour that has become an annual fundraiser for a new Methven House.

The tour is in its fourth year and this year will be held on November 10 from 10am to 3.30pm.

While the individual properties are kept under wraps until the tour, organiser Sue van de Heuvel said at one of the venues there would be a display of classic and vintage cars.

“To complement the vehicles, we will be offering an optional barbecue and cuppa stop, for those wanting to have something

to eat whilst having a wander,” she said.

This garden setting was established by a passionate gardener in the mid 1980s when the present home was built, and has evolved over the past 10 to 15 years by the current owners into a family-friendly area.

Lawn was acquired from the neighbouring paddock for back yard cricket, football, and a tennis court.

Where a swimming pool once sat for 25 years, before being damaged by the 2011 earthquake, there is now an outdoor eating area with cosy fire and a tree-framed view of Mt Hutt.

This property will also host the tour’s plant stall fundraiser. Local gardeners have potted and nurtured for the months leading up to the event, to offer plants for sale.

Tickets for the house and garden tour are available from Methven i-SITE or Ray White Real Estate Ashburton, further information www.methvencaretrust.co.nz.

Rap feud lives on In all the years of celebrity feuding, this may be one of the pettiest power moves we’ve seen yet – but it’s hilarious. Rapper 50 Cent took to Instagram to brag about how he epicly trolled Ja Rule recently, claiming he bought out 200 front-row seats at a Ja Rule gig, just so he could leave them empty. He even went to the trouble of photoshopping himself into an image of the empty seats. At $15 a seat and 200 tickets bought, that’s $US3000 ($NZ4600) dropped by a rapper who declared bankruptcy in 2015 – all in the name of a rap feud. The rappers’ feud goes back two decades and has seen the two trade everything from diss tracks to punches.

Jet plane plunges into sea A Lion Air plane with 189 people on board crashed into the sea just minutes after taking off from Indonesia’s capital yesterday in a blow to the country’s aviation safety record after the lifting of bans on its airlines by the European Union and US. Indonesia’s disaster agency posted photos online of a crushed smartphone, books, bags and parts of the aircraft fuselage that had been collected by search and rescue vessels that have converged on the area.

Lion Air said the brand-new aircraft, on a 1-hour-and10-minute flight to Pangkal Pinang on an island chain off Sumatra, was carrying 181 passengers, including one child and two babies, and eight crew members.

Indonesian TV broadcast pictures of a fuel slick and debris field. Distraught friends and relatives prayed and hugged each other as they waited at Pangkal Pinang’s airport.

The National Search and Rescue Agency’s deputy chief, Nugroho Budi Wiryanto, said

some 300 people including soldiers, police and local fishermen are involved in the search and that so far it has recovered no bodies – only ID cards, personal belongings and aircraft debris.

At the agency’s headquarters in Jakarta, family members turned up, hoping desperately for news.

Feni, who uses a single name, said her soon to be married sister was on the flight, planning to meet relatives in Pangkal Pinang.

“We are here to find any information about my younger sister, her fiance, her in-law to be and a friend of them,” said Feni.

“We don’t have any information,” she said, as her father wiped tears from reddened eyes. “No one provided us with any information that we need.

“We’re confused. We hope that our family is still alive,” she said.

Indonesia’s Finance Minister Sri Mulyani also arrived at the agency and met with its chief, seeking information about 20 finance ministry staff who were on the flight after

attending a ministry event in Jakarta.

The search and rescue agency said the flight ended in waters off West Java that are 30 to 35 metres deep.

The agency’s chief Muhammad Syaugi told a news conference that divers are trying to locate the wreckage.

The Boeing 737 Max 8 was delivered to Lion Air in midAugust and put in use within days, according to aviation website Flightradar24. Malindo Air, a Malaysian subsidiary of Jakarta-based Lion Air, was the first airline to be using the 737 Max 8 last year. The Max 8 replaced the similar 800 in the Chicago-based planemaker’s product line.

Boeing spokesman Paul Lewis says Boeing is “closely monitoring the situation” but did not provide details on the aircraft in question.

The pilot of Flight 610 had more than 6000 flying hours while the co-pilot had more than 5000 hours.

Indonesia’s Transport Ministry said the plane took off from Jakarta about 6.20am and crashed just 13 minutes

later. Data from FlightAware showed it had reached an altitude of only 1580 metres.

The transport ministry said crisis centres have been set up Pangkal Pinang’s airport and Jakarta’s Soekarno Hatta airport.

The crash is the worst airline disaster in Indonesia since an AirAsia flight from Surabaya to Singapore plunged into the sea in December 2014, killing all 162 on board.

Indonesian airlines were barred in 2007 from flying to Europe because of safety concerns, though several were allowed to resume services in the following decade. The ban was completely lifted in June this year. The US lifted a decade-long ban in 2016.

Lion Air, a discount carrier, is one of Indonesia’s youngest and biggest airlines, flying to dozens of domestic and international destinations.

In 2013, one of its Boeing 737-800 jets missed the runway while landing on the resort island of Bali, crashing into the sea without causing any fatalities among the 108 people on board.

‘I looked up, and there were all these bodies’ He thought it was falling furniture.

The morning service was just beginning in the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighbourhood when Joseph Charny heard a loud noise from downstairs.

“It sounded like some big thing falling over, like a coat

rack,” Charny said.

There were about six to eight congregants bowing their heads in the pews, along with Charny, all of them waiting solemnly for the weekly services to get started, people Charny knew well.

A man appeared in the doorway. Charny doesn’t re-

member him saying anything.

Gunshots cracked across the chamber.

“I looked up and there were all these dead bodies,” said Charny, 90. “I wasn’t in the mood to stay there.”

Law enforcement officials say the man who shot at the group was Robert Bowers, a

56-year-old area resident who allegedly was in the middle of the deadliest attack on Jews in the nation’s history.

Authorities are investigating anti-Semitic statements Bowers allegedly posted online, including one shortly before the attack saying he was “going in.”

per cent reporting higher revenue in the September 2017 survey.

It is the first time actual revenue has been in net negative territory since 2011.

MYOB general manager Carolyn Luey said that while this was concerning, business operators were not panicking.

“New Zealand’s economy continues to tick along and while more businesses are seeing their revenue fall, it is worth remembering that this comes against a background of a sustained period of growth,” she said.

But businesses were now clearly factoring tougher conditions and a tightening of their own finances, she said.

“This will have a flow-on effect throughout the economy, from hiring to investment, to payment and purchase arrangements with fellow businesses.”

Concern about Government

policy still features – as it has with other confidence surveys this year.

Given the heated political debate around business confidence, MYOB asked respondents why they thought business confidence was so low.

Some 49 per cent of business operators blamed the coalition Government for the slump in confidence.

“Kiwi businesses, particularly those on the smaller end of the scale, rely on a clear understanding of the impacts of government policy to make important investment decisions,” Luey said.

“Policy changes and uncertainty around things like tax, regulations, government spending and employment law only puts more pressure on business owners who are becoming increasingly cautious about investing and under greater financial pressure.”

■ HIGH ELECTRICITY CHARGES

Flick tells customers to change plans Electricity retailer Flick is telling customers to move on to fixedprice plans after some were hit with power bills of up to $1500 for a single week.

A Wellington boarding house owner who used Flick was this week blindsided with a hefty bill as spot power prices surged.

Posting to a Facebook group, Matthew Wright called the price spikes “ridiculous” and asked for recommendations for an alterna-

tive electricity provider.

Wright said the bill was normally about $500 per week but in the past month it had gone up to $600.

“And now this $1500pw bill, I note on one single day last week the consumption was over $400!

As we don’t live there we have no control over consumption times etc,” Wright said.

A survey released yesterday focused on small and medium sized business shows a sharp slump in both general confidence and – more worryingly – revenue, with petrol costs standing out as the biggest concern.

The MYOB Business Monitor Snapshot, which polls 412 small and medium sized business operators, found 53 per cent now expect New Zealand’s economy to decline over the next 12 months.

That compares to 41 per cent in the March survey and just 23 per cent in the survey taken just prior to the election last year.

Actual revenue performance has also declined sharply with the survey showing 26 per cent of business operators had seen their own revenue fall in the past 12 months, and just 23 per cent had seen it rise.

That compares with 18 per cent reporting lower revenue and 37

For 28 years Stuart Tarbotton has been trying to win the Ashburton A&P Show’s trade display trophy.

This year his persistence and perseverance was rewarded.

Building on the show’s theme of irrigation, the lifeblood of Mid Canterbury, the Tarbotton team created a static display that told the story of irrigation from the development of the Rangitata Diversion Race by Ministry of Works crews in the 1940s through to the giant centre pivots and irrigation ponds of today.

Peter Leonard tells the story of his boss Stuart Tarbotton waking up at 3am with a vision of how this year’s trade display should look.

“He phoned a couple of us early in the morning and it just grew from there,” Leonard said.

Tarbotton, Graham Bolton, Donald Keely, Brian Ching and Kelvin McTague were the brains behind the display as between them they have decades of experience in the irriga-

tion industry, he said. Over the years the company has created irrigation border-dykes and today it’s levelling those off and creating huge water storage ponds to feed pivot irrigators.

From a company that started in 1991 with Tarbotton and a digger and truck, it has grown to employ a staff of 44 including Tarbotton’s three sons Ben, Brad and Tim (currently studying), and its machinery count runs to 19 excavators, three motor scrapers, three graders and a raft of dump trucks and bulldozers.

“Back at the start Stuart would work all day and at night he’d drive around organising his work for the next day,” Leonard said.

Bolton was his first employee, 26 years ago and he’s just one of many long serving staff, he said.

“The brand today is still Stuart Tarbotton and we all take pride in who we work for. It’s very much a family business.”

As well as his sons, Tarbotton’s wife Debbie works in the business.

OUR VIEW

DVDs going the way of the dodo S

upply and demand, she’s a cruel old game sometimes.

Those old enough, or with memories strong enough, will remember the introduction of DVD players to our lives.

What wonderful things they were in those times too.

A real step up in the market from the old VHS, which took 10 minutes to rewind and often offered poor picture quality.

The DVD was a whole new beast though.

The ability to digitally move about a disk without fastforwarding through scenes or rewinding to go back was like a look into the future and pretty soon they became a must acquire in every modern-day household.

Now though, they’re seemingly becoming entirely obsolete for purchase.

Stores are stacking less and less on the shelves and many homes have now relegated the once wonderful piece of technology to the children’s playroom for re-runs of Paw Patrol to keep the kids entertained while doing housework.

Being from a generation a little

later down the evolution pole, the apparent demise of the DVD player is of no surprise.

One grew up watching videos on the VCR and has idly sat by as they have all but become defunct, and life goes on – just as the DVD movement is bound to as well.

With the introduction of higher quality televisions, particularly Smart TVs and the adaption of devices like Chromecasts, the need for a DVD player is seemingly non-existent in modern life.

Using all the live-streaming opportunities available, one can pick and choose what they want to watch, when they want to watch it without actually having

to physically get up, find a disc somewhere in the DVD rack and make sure it’s clean and without scratches before sitting down to watch.

What an effortless world we are beginning to live in.

The DVD’s future outlook is bleak, that’s for sure – but it does make you wonder about other items around the house that were big ticket gets back in the day that are now in short basically useless.

I remember purchasing my first CD player and a horde of CDs which went with it – it was a big purchase early in my teenage years.

Nowadays, the need for either item is rarely found.

Music-playing apps on cell phones and devices have made them null and void with the ability to stream music to a car radio, portable speaker or even through the television.

So, what’s next?

We’ve already got those vacuum cleaners you don’t have to push around and lawnmowers which just do their own thing – making the appeal of lumping round the old Electrolux about as appealing as jumping out of an airplane without the benefit of a parachute.

How far away is the day where there is a product made available which cooks your dinner without having to enter the kitchen?

The possibilities are endless.

former Liberian President Charles Taylor in the first case brought under a 1994 US law allowing prosecution for torture and atrocities committed overseas.

(Charles McArthur Emmanuel was later sentenced to 97 years in prison.)

Five years ago: President Barack Obama claimed “full responsibility” for fixing his administration’s troubled health insurance website, while on Capitol Hill, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius apologised to frustrated people trying to sign up, declaring that she was accountable for the failures but also defended the historic

health care overhaul. The government said the deficit for the 2013 budget year totalled $680.3 billion, down from $1.09 trillion in 2012. The Boston Red Sox romped to their third World Series championship in 10 seasons, thumping the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 in Game 6 at Fenway.

One year ago: Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and a former Manafort business associate, Rick Gates, were indicted on felony charges including conspiracy against the United States as Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election revealed its

first targets. A former Trump campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, admitted he lied to the FBI about his contacts with Russians. A federal judge in Washington barred the Trump administration from proceeding with plans to exclude transgender people from military service.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, October 30, the 303rd day of 2018. There are 62 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 30, 1735 (New Style calendar), the second president of the United States, John Adams, was born in Braintree, Massachusetts.

On this date: In 1912, Vice President James S. Sherman, running for a second term of office with President William Howard Taft, died six days before Election Day. (Sherman was replaced with Nicholas Murray Butler, but Taft, the Republican candidate, ended up losing in an Electoral College landslide to Democrat Woodrow Wilson.)

In 1945, the US government announced the end of shoe rationing, effective at midnight.

In 1961, the Soviet Union tested a hydrogen bomb, the “Tsar Bomba,” with a force estimated at about 50 megatons. In 1972, 45 people were killed when an Illinois Central Gulf commuter train was struck from behind by another train on Chicago’s South Side.

In 1974, Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman in the eighth round of a 15-round bout in Kinshasa, Zaire, known as the “Rumble in the Jungle,” to regain his world heavyweight title.

In 1975, the New York Daily News ran the headline “Ford to City: Drop Dead” a day after President Gerald R. Ford said he would veto any proposed federal bailout of New York City.

In 1985, schoolteacher-astronaut Christa McAuliffe witnessed the launch of the space shuttle Challenger, the same craft that would carry her and six other crew members to their deaths in January 1986.

In 2002, Jam Master Jay (Jason Mizell), a rapper with the hip-hop group Run-DMC, was killed in a shooting in New York. He was 37.

FROM THE FARM

M

ore needs to be done to help developing nations form farmer advocacy groups if those countries are to ever get ahead economically and then have the ability to achieve desirable social and environmental goals.

I have just returned from the World Seed Partnership (WSP) Conference in Myanmar where I was lucky enough to represent the World Farmers’ Organisation (WFO) and see how farmers in Myanmar operate and live.

For those of you who don’t know, the WFO was established in 2011 and aims to strengthen the voice of food producers on the global scene and enhance their economic, social and environmental relevance on the world stage.

WFO represents 1.5 billion farmers from 54 countries.

Federated Farmers (FF) President Katie Milne is the Oceania representative on the WFO Board.

Myanmar is a beautiful country with a gentle, intelligent and tenacious population coupled with a complex history of colonisation and invasion over generations.

The ancient architecture is mind-blowing, the food outstanding, but the disparity between the rich and poor is very apparent.

Before giving my presentation, I was fortunate to travel through the country with my husband for about 10 days, see the farms and meet with local farmers.

It gave me a tremendous insight to farmer challenges so that my presentation didn’t focus on things like ‘precision agriculture’ or ‘environmental sustainability’ but rather my key message was about enabling and supporting Myanmar farmers.

Like in New Zealand, research undertaken by NGOs in Myanmar showed that the greatest adoption of positive change on farm is informally by admiring what your farming neighbour is achieving over the fence or more formally through discussion groups and field days.

And yet there was no industry group to represent farmers as a whole or a programme to de-

velop farming leaders such as we have with Nuffield Scholarships, or programmes run through the Agri-Women’s Development Trust or Kelloggs.

During my time in Myanmar I commonly saw farmers use ox and ploughs, I saw very few tractors operating, the use of personal protective equipment was not evident at all, and I saw workers transporting produce by hand to the main road because the internal road was damaged – that action alone chewed up half of the farmer’s income.

In the 2017 World Bank ranking for GDP per capita, Myanmar ranked 152nd out of 184 countries, with New Zealand at 19th.

Much of the farming is subsistence or enough to supply local daily markets.

Farmers’ day-to-day focus is about looking after the crop.

We saw very little livestock grazing.

In an area around Mandalay, the average farm size was three acres, with farmers making about $1000 an acre.

That’s their income for the year. There is no money left to invest in new infrastructure or machinery.

They considered they needed about $6000 a year to cover family medical expenses and to be able to have a family holiday.

At times the Government directs farmers on what they can grow, where they can grow it and whether the irrigation water will be available for them that year or their neighbour.

What Myanmar needs is their own version of Federated Farmers – they need a group that can lobby every level of governance the country has for fair rules around land and water use, improve infrastructure, ensure farmers’ health and safety, and enabling monetary policy so they

can access funds to grow farm sizes and on-farm efficiencies.

Coupled with that they need assistance to develop farming leaders so that they are at the table representing fellow farmers, rather than the government and aid agencies coming up with good ideas.

The role of farmers needs to be taken seriously on a global scale, not as subsistence farmers eking out a meagre living but as entrepreneurs, employers, stewards of the land, community leaders and feeders of a burgeoning global population.

The World Farmers’ Organisation can play an important role in how to develop Myanmar farmers. I hope the WFO is up for the challenge.

Also, a belated happy “World Food Day” for 16 October.

Let’s think about how we can appropriately celebrate this next year.

■ ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

No foul moves here

Father and son George and Simon Lowe ended up with a nice ribbon collection that culminated with their poll dorset ram taking the supreme champion sheep of show title.

The best of the best

They entered the sheep judging with low expectations as their entries were the only poll dorsets in the sheep judging at the Ashburton A&P Show.

But the poll dorsets from Windermere Poll Dorset stud kept on winning to their surprise and delight.

“That was amazing – we never expected anything like this because of the fact we were the only exhibitors for the poll dorset,’’ said George Lowe. “As we saw, it’s the interbreed classes which create the interest so that was really satisfying to win.’’

A good sized crowd thronged around the sheep pens to hear the judges’ comments and learn their

final selections on Saturday.

Runner-up was a border leicester owned by the Copland family at Dromore and third a suffolk exhibited by the Sinclair family from Wakanui.

Judges praised the poll dorset winner, Windermere 82/16, as a ram demonstrating all-round soundness, possessing a fine back end and carrying hardly any excess for its age.

Lowe said the four-tooth poll dorset was free-moving and a big athletic ram that finished second in its class at the Christchurch A&P Show last year.

The Lowes also won the champion of champion mutton breed ram hogget title and the champion meat breed dam class with a poll dorset that won its class as

a ewe hogget at the Christchurch show. The two ram lambs at the ewe’s side were sired by the champion ram hogget.

The stud was begun by George’s father, Tom, in 1961.

He originally started with dorset horn sheep in 1937 and after buying a polled ram from Australia moved to the poll dorsets.

The breed is favoured as a terminal sire ram for producing fast growing and good cutting lambs.

“The poll dorsets are just a good all-round doer and they seem to cope well on a big range of country,’’ said Lowe.

Most of their poll dorset team that was shown at Ashburton will contest the Christchurch A&P Show, now called the New Zealand Agricultural Show.

An open mouth is an open invitation for a mouthful of sawdust when judging show poultry.

Chief poultry judge Gavin Greenwood has been in the game long enough to know that. As he reaches for birds in their cages a spray of sawdust from their feathers is always on the cards.

The first australorp bantam plays ball as he examines it closely after extricating it expertly for judging at the Ashburton A&P Show.

“It’s a nice bird, she’s got good feather type and the body type is good as well,’’ he said.

At this time of the year he knows they are not at their best and factors this in his marking, assisted by steward Kate Taylor on the final show day on Saturday.

“A lot of the feathers have been broken and damaged as they are just out of the breeding pens which doesn’t do justice for their appearance. You do

take that into consideration for this time of the year otherwise there would be no show.’’

Poultry are judged in the categories of game fowls, light and heavy breeds, water fowls, fancy bantams and game bantams.

Greenwood said the standard of poultry was on par with previous shows.

The Darfield bird fancier should know. He started showing birds from the age of 12.

Today, he’s got about 300 pigeons and 200-odd fowls.

“It’s a terminal disease, it’s like chocolate.’’

As he places the bantam back into its cage its neighbour catches his eye.

“She’s an alert looking bird,’’ he murmurs approvingly.

As he opens the cage door and reaches inside to bring it out for closer inspection, the inevitable happens.

Greenwood deftly sidesteps the burst of sawdust and, unflustered, carries on judging.

There is no indication that it might be marked down for insubordination.

Gavin Greenwood casts an expert eye over an australorp bantam.

Farm gate price watch …

David Parker (right) hands a copy of the notification of ratification of the CPTPP agreement to NZ’s High Commissioner to Canada, Daniel Mellsop.

MARKET REPORT Minister for Trade David Parker ratified the CPTPP agreement last week.

This brings the number of nations that have formally ratified the agreement to four out of a potential 11 countries that have indicated that they will sign up.

New Zealand joins Mexico, Japan and Singapore who have already signed up with Australia and Canada expected to sign shortly.

Reductions in tariffs and improved access for exports should start to be seen in 2019.

While this is occurring, Britain, which is grinding its way through the Brexit negotiations, has also mooted that there is potential for them to join the TPP. However, as was seen in New Zealand, there are plenty who do not agree with the concept of the TPP. Apart from weakening Britain’s relationship with the EU campaigners fear the TPP will: ■ Entrench the ‘corporate court’ system that gives multinational corporations special powers to bully and sue governments ■ Undermine food standards – threatening to allow chlorine-washed chicken and steroid-fed beef into the UK, lowering the quality of food and jeopardising farmers’ livelihoods ■ Undermine public services across the world – threatening the NHS and the ability of the developing countries in the deal to build their own public services ■ Give more power to big tech companies to use and abuse our data, and prevent developing countries from building their digital sectors, which are vital for their development ■ Move Britain closer to a US-style system of deregulation that would make it harder to work closely with the EU A similar list to what was discussed in New Zealand, given the importance of Britain to New Zealand’s lamb and dairy trade how things pan out will be of interest to exporters.

Given the UK geographic location, some new names for the agreement might need to be conjured up in the unlikely occurrence they do join.

In the meantime, the Brexit negotiations have severely split the British government and the public appear to have had enough with over 1 million signing a petition calling for a new referendum and 700,000 marched in London also calling for a new referendum.

Brexit’s effects on NZ trade are very uncertain due to the range of different scenarios that could be played out but a big concern is regarding how existing trade quotas into the EU (including the UK) will be dealt with.

At the moment, there appears to be a lot of water to flow under the bridge before any agreements get reached and the calls for Britain to remain in the EU are getting louder as the chaos ensues.

Markets In the meantime, markets for meat, wool and dairy have all gone in one direction.

For sheep meat this has mainly been due to the processors starting to try and regain some margins as they have been supposedly been paying well above what the market can support.

Beef seems to be a response to the falling confidence in the American market where much of our beef ends up. Overall classes numbers appear to have dropped.

Perhaps a response to the rain.

As despite NIWA’s warning of the potential for a drier than average season, enough rain is coming at timely intervals to keep the grass growing well.

With more rain forecasted for this week, there should be feed available for some time yet even if it does turn dry.

Sheep Saleyard prices, while healthy, are continuing to fall as time runs out and only limited numbers of new season’s lambs appearing.

These are mostly as “ewes with lambs” and are fetching $90 to $130 all counted.

More space at the processors may mean that buyer demand may help hold prices despite the falls in schedule.

Wool The erratic but generally downward trend in wool has continued. The finer end after the earlier high prices is now seeing the biggest drop.

This is surprising given what impact the Aussie drought must have on their wool clip quality and quantity and that they are the major competitor to New Zealand fine wools.

Cattle A similar story for most cattle classes with some quite heavy reduction in schedules from some processors.

All grades have lost on average over 20 cents per kg in the last month and the drops are likely to continue for a while yet.

Venison Although the North Island took a small trim, the South Island is maintaining its average for the last three weeks now.

Niwa staff work in many of New Zealand’s most stunning natural locations, from the bottom of the ocean to the mountain tops. These beautiful land and seascapes form the backdrop for the vast array of environmental science undertaken by Niwa researchers. At Little Pigeon Bay on Banks Peninsula, Niwa hydrodynamics technician Jo Bind was undertaking a survey following a tsunami caused by the Kaikoura earthquake. He used a strong neutral density filter to create his image using a long exposure to create the dreamy, soft water and sharp, defined land features. This image received the special award in the Niwa photographic competition.

dium rare cook for 3-4 minutes until the underside is browned and crunchy. Turn the steaks over and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Set aside on a warmed plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5-6 minutes before slicing across the grain.

■ Stir the steak, spinach, tomatoes, pesto, lemon zest, herbs and feta through the hot, cooked

pasta just before serving.

■ If you like, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice.

■ Top with another sprinkle of feta and the micro herbs or chives.

Serve with a side of garlic bread if you wish.

The two Emilys

BY KATHLEEN STRINGER

need arose.

Emily died in 1948 and is buried in Ashburton.

Emily Begg

E

mily Maria Hill was born at Wakanui in 1875 to Charles and Maria (nee Hyde), a signatory of the 1893 suffrage petition. Emily was involved with the temperance cause and joined the local branch of the Independent Order of Good Templars at the age of 14.

In 1897 she married James Begg, a local threshing mill owner. The Guardian’s account of their wedding reports that the wedding was a temperance one, with no alcohol used to toast the happy couple.

They had eight children. In 1920 James died, leaving Emily to manage the business and farms. She did the bookwork for the business and farms, and while her sons and workers did the backbreaking work, Emily ensured there was enough food for the men, often bringing it to them herself, and seeing to the maintenance of the machines. One of the mills she purchased was called Big Bertha and was the largest such mill in New Zealand.

While Wakanui was always their home, the family purchased a large farm in Dromore. Every day Emily would take the horse and cart out and be there in time for morning tea, then spend time getting the afternoon tea and evening meal ready for the workers, before driving the six miles back home. In later years Emily learned to drive a car, which made her life a lot easier.

Emily was active in the community, being a foundation member, and later life member, of the Women’s Division of Federated Farmers and instigated the housekeeping scheme in the area.

This scheme saw women paid to assist others after the birth of a baby, illness, or bereavement.

She was also involved with the Wakanui Red Cross and worked tirelessly to provide comforts to soldiers in both world wars. She knew the stress of having loved ones overseas – one of her brothers was killed in France in World War One and although all her sons returned from World War Two, one was seriously wounded.

She was also a member of the Ashburton Health Camp Committee – which raised funds for local children to attend health camps in Staveley and Glenelg, she was also involved with the Crippled Children’s Society. Her interest in farming saw her join the Agricultural and Pastoral Association.

A Methodist, she was active in her church and assisted anyone who was in need, often providing food or other resources, such as a milking cow when

Jane Emily Peter

E

mily, as she was known, was born in Australia in 1858 to William and Jane. William, a Scottish pastoralist, had married Jane in Australia and had had two children before coming to Gawler Downs, which they renamed Anama.

Emily lived an isolated, but privileged, life as the eldest daughter of a successful runholder. Being the eldest girl also encouraged her to develop a nurturing attitude to others and a resourcefulness born out of isolation. Winters were spent in the family’s townhouse in Christchurch and it was here that Emily took ambulance (first aid) training.

Emily decided to become a nurse and Above left – Emily Begg and dog. followed her friend Sibylla (later known simply as Above right – A young Emily Hill, before ‘Nurse’) Maude’s example her marriage to James Begg. and travelled to England to study nursing at Westminster Right – Nurse Emily Peter.

Honouring the Fallen During the period of the First World War, 1914 to 1915, many men from the Ashburton District signed up to fight for the Empire against the German army. Many did not return — almost 450 from Ashburton were killed.

The first Ashburton men were killed on April 25, 1915 — the first Anzac Day. Ashburton philanthropist and patriot Frederick Ferriman presented a special flag and a flagpole to the families of those men.

The Ashburton Museum, with the assistance of the Rotary Club of Ashburton Plains, has erected in front of the Museum one of the original Ferriman flagpoles, and on the centennial of the death of each Ashburton soldier will fly a replica flag.

An original flag is on display in the Museum.

This week the Ashburton Museum honours:

October 31: Alexis Harry Victor ANDERSON. November 4: Henry GILES, Hugh Murray GRAHAM, Samuel ROSS.

In brief Aussies rue collapses Australia’s batsmen are failing across all three formats, with Aaron Finch admitting the woeful performance in the T20 series against Pakistan was just the latest example of a frailty that has become entrenched in the national side. The tourists slumped to a grim whitewash defeat to the world’s No.1-ranked T20 cricket side, losing the third and final game in Dubai by 33 runs. It was a dismal ending to a tour of the UAE in which they also lost the two-match test series 1-0.

Phillips optimistic Batsman Glenn Phillips declared the Black Caps more than a fighting chance as they eye one of international cricket’s most daunting tasks. The 21-year-old cracked a rapidfire 48 off 36 balls in New Zealand’s warmup match over the United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi. It still looks mission improbable for the Black Caps in game one on Thursday against the world’s top-ranked T20 side in full flight but Phillips insisted that there were still grounds for optimism as he reunites with Colin Munro at the top of the Kiwis’ batting order.

■ CRICKET

College notch first win Ashburton College demolished the Christchurch Boys’ High School (CBHS) 3rd XI on Saturday to claim their first win of their Canterbury youth first XI grades cricket competition on Saturday.

The home side batted first at the Ashburton Domain and was all out for 131 off 41.4 overs, with a number of batsmen getting starts.

Liam Sullivan top scored for the Ashburton College side with a knock of 21, while Isaac Bazley was hot on his heels with 20, and Will Copland scored 14.

Ollie O’Loughlin was the main destroyer with the ball for the Christchurch side, taking 4/28.

The visitors’ reply started well, with Mackenzie Smith and Sid Mowat opening the batting and Smith top scoring with 20 and

Mowat adding 10. But, they were the only two in the side to make double figures, as the wickets kept tumbling.

CBHS went from being 41/3, to all out for 59, losing their final seven wickets for just 18 runs, giving Ashburton College a 72run victory.

It was a good day for the Ashburton College bowlers, with Ben Middleton taking 3/5, Chris Spit-

tal taking 2/6 and Sullivan 2/9.

It was a strong win for the College side and came a week after they were soundly beaten by St Thomas of Canterbury by nine wickets in their first outing of the season the week prior.

This weekend the Ashburton College players are away to Timaru Boys’ High School, the first of four away games on the trot for the Ashburton boys.

Red Sox clinch series Steve Pearce slammed a pair of home runs and David Price tossed a seven-inning gem to power the Boston Red Sox to a 5-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers and their fourth World Series title in 15 years yesterday. The Red Sox, after winning a franchise record and Major League Baseball best 108 games during the regular season, carried their domination all the way to the World Series and overwhelmed the Dodgers 4-1 in the best-of-seven series.

The Red Sox clinched their ninth World Series title with a lethal combination of power and pitching. Game Five starter Price surrendered one run on three hits in seven plus innings to collect his third straight post-season win, while all the Red Sox runs were scored via home runs.

Weather gods take the honours in Biggar Memorial

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Rain washed away any hope of a result in Sunday’s Ron Biggar Memorial senior rep cricket match between Mid Canterbury and South Canterbury in Timaru.

With only 11.5 overs left in the 50 over match, the rain set in with Mid Canterbury 139/9, just 28 runs shy of a potential victory.

South Canterbury took out the same match at the same time last year, so Mid Canterbury had headed into the 2018 chapter determined to make amends, and they looked to be well on track at the mid-point of their runs chase.

But then South Canterbury’s fast-medium pace bowler Mark Otley produced a devastating second spell of bowling in which he took four quick wickets.

That swung the match back

into the home side’s favour, and helped earn him the man of the match title.

The day had started off well for the home side, too.

South Canterbury won the toss and elected to bat first, and it was a decision that paid off early on as their top five batsmen all got starts, with Jacob Naylor top scoring with 54.

He combined with Matt Brown to produce his side’s best partnership of the day, 49 for the fourth wicket.

But they lost wickets at regular intervals which meant the innings never really hit full gear, with the side eventually all out for 167 off 49.4 overs.

Of the Mid Canterbury bowlers Deon Biggs and William Southby were the main destroyers, with Biggs taking 3/30 off his 10 overs

and Southby taking 3/44.

Things didn’t get off to the best start for Mid Canterbury when it came to their turn at bat, losing the wicket of Tom Ravenscroft with just five runs on the board, and then losing Des Kruger 10 runs later.

But what followed was three ship-steadying partnerships, which contributed a total of 99 runs.

James Southby top scored with 55 before he was given out lbw to the bowling of Otley, who ended up with figures of 5/32, as Mid Canterbury started to flounder.

Mid Canterbury lost four wickets for just two runs – going from 114/5 to 116/8 – and it was looking like it could be South Canterbury’s day.

Mid Canterbury coach Garfield Charles said because there were

no playing conditions attached to the match saying whether it should come down to run rate or the Duckworth Lewis system in the event of rain, the game was simply abandoned.

Had it come down to run rates, Mid Canterbury would have won, but had it come down to Duckworth Lewis South Canterbury would have won.

Charles said it drizzled for quite some time before the stumps were pulled, but when a bowler slipped over the decision was made to leave the field.

Had the game continued, Charles said his side would have been up against it, with only one wicket in hand, but, he was pleased with the overall performance.

“We bowled and fielded really well.

“There was excellent discipline showed by our bowlers and the fielders, but we just batted well in patches and lost wickets in clumps.

“But it was a really good exercise from my perspective, because it gave some of the guys a bit of a hit.

“James Southby batted really well, and all the bowlers bowled well, and young Ben Innes the debutant, he batted really well and with a lot of maturity.

“He took his time and he was not out at the end.”

Mid Canterbury’s next two matches were pre-season fixtures against Canterbury Country (Nov 11 in Rangiora) and North Otago (Nov 18 in Ashburton) before their Hawke Cup campaign got under way on November 24/25 against South Canterbury in Ashburton.

Chelsea in ominous form Chelsea sauntered to a 4-0 win at Burnley yesterday to move up to second in the English Premier League.

Alvaro Morata, Ross Barkley, Willian and Ruben Loftus-Cheek scored the goals to put the Blues to within two points of leaders Liverpool.

And coach Maurizio Sarri took encouragement from Chelsea’s

free-scoring form without Eden Hazard – but is not about to start resting his star man when he is fit again.

Hazard sat out a second consecutive match with a back problem and Sarri said: “I want Hazard in every match if it’s possible because we have a lot of very good players but Hazard I think is something different.

“I am very happy because the team was able to score seven goals in two matches without Hazard”.

Arsenal stayed fourth as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Crystal Palace.

Granit Xhaka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang put Arsenal 2-1 up but a late equaliser from Luka Milivojevic, with his second

penalty of the day, gave Palace a share of the points.

In the later match on Sunday, Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial scored as Manchester United recorded a much-needed, if unconvincing, 2-1 victory over Everton.

United were looking to bounce back after being outclassed by Juventus in the Champions League midweek.

Eagles hold off Jaguars

Canterbury proves too good on the fairways Ashburton’s Ryan Cockburn takes in the progress on the green during the South Island Interprovincial Men’s Golf Championship at the Methven Golf Club at the weekend. It wasn’t a great weekend for the Aorangi men – a side which featured Mid Canterbury’s Cockburn, Regan Stills, Cameron Grant, Jordan Green and Jeff Hewitt – picking up just the one win over Southland over the two days. The men’s title was won by the Canterbury side which won four from four. At the same time the South Island women’s tournament was being played in Invercargill, and again it was Canterbury that came out on top. Aorangi also picked up just the one win, against Southland.

■ RUGBY

Hansen trusting his SBW instinct

By GreGor Paul Sir Clive Woodward reckons the All Blacks are missing just one piece in their personnel jigsaw and if they had it, they would be just about unbeatable.

He was right about there being one missing piece but not that it is a kicking coach and not that the All Blacks will be unbeatable when they find it.

What the All Blacks are missing at the moment is a thundering presence in their No. 12 jersey.

They haven’t had a second-five this year who has smashed them over the gainline when they have needed to win that battle for momentum. And more harmful has been the absence of subtle and effective distribution in that same channel.

It’s maybe the impossible dream but the All Blacks essentially want their No. 12 to be built like a loose forward with the same ability in the collision and yet have the creative touch and vision of a firstfive.

Perhaps they have been spoilt in terms of expectation as for the better part of a decade, Ma’a

Nonu came close to fulfilling that brief – being a ball of destruction yet also the best long passer in the team.

But the other reason the All Blacks continue to expect they can have their cake and eat it as it were with their selection at second-five is that they believe they have in Sonny Bill Williams a player, who much like Nonu, can provide that dual functionality.

Williams may not have the same long pass accuracy in his repertoire but he has a miraculous range of offloads he can throw and he’s a combat athlete with a love of the rough and tumble that comes with the territory.

He hasn’t been able to deliver what the All Blacks have wanted this year, mostly because he’s spent most of the season injured.

He barely played for the Blues, missed two of the three tests in June and was injured again in the one he did manage, keeping him out of rugby until he started against the Pumas in Buenos Aires.

For All Blacks coach Steve Hansen it is Williams’ lack of game time which explains his lack of form –

or at least his patchy and unconvincing performances in the last three tests.

Williams hasn’t found much of a groove since he came back into the team.

There has been more bad than good from him or at best a ratio of one positive act balanced by one negative.

Seen through Hansen’s eyes this is all part of the process when a senior player with so little football behind him this season makes his way back.

A player with less experience, less trust, wouldn’t be in the All Blacks midfield if they had suffered a similar run of injuries and subsequent lack of game time.

They would instead have been sent to the Mitre 10 Cup and worked the errors out of their game in a less intense and less scrutinised environment.

But Williams, like Brodie Retallick and Joe Moody has that proven ability which means he, like they, come under slightly different return to play protocols.

Hansen is willing to be patient to re-kindle the form he is convinced Williams can still produce.

Sonny Bill Williams He made that much clear after the test in Yokohama.

“Brodie [Retallick] said he was heaving after 10 minutes but he still provided a lot of input into the game for us and he will be massively better off for it.

“Moods [Joe Moody] has had a few extra games and that reflected in how he played and then you have got Sonny who has really only played a handful of games all year.

“Again he did dome really good

things and then a couple of times he didn’t do the things he wanted to do and we wanted him to do and again you accept that because the only way you are going to get them better is by playing them.”

The inference is that Williams will play against England and Ireland because he remains the number one ranked second-five and a player the All Blacks feel can make their midfield a more potent mix of destructive defence and neat offloads.

Hansen’s faith has not been shaken by the last few weeks. He’s not buying the story that many are selling Williams is no longer the athlete he was and now a touch vulnerable to being exposed on defence by those who have top end speed.

Hansen is playing the long game here – willing to be patient, to trust his own instincts that are telling him Williams is not a spent force at all, just underdone.

He’s giving Williams extended time to show he’s still got it; still capable of opening a defence with one well-timed surge and the missing piece the All Blacks have been looking for all year. - NZME

■ KAIKOURA CUP

Cup favourites spanked The Kaikoura Cup raised more questions than it answered when Spankem beat Pat’s Delight in a quinella of pacers not bound for the New Zealand Cup. Spankem continued his fouryear-old resurgence with a frontrunning win in yesterday’s Gr.2 feature for trainers Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen and driver Tim Williams.

The four-year-old’s victory saw big-name New Zealand Cup contenders, including Eamon Maguire and Star Galleria, left in Spankem’s wake and punters left scratching their heads ahead of next month’s great race.

Spankem’s win signalled he has definitely put the niggles that led to the disappointing end of his three-year-old season behind him. The horse was forced in to the spelling paddock earlier than expected last term, when returning from Australia feeling flat after a Victoria Derby campaign in January.

“He was just well below himself and he just had a small tendon issue,” part-owner Philip Kennard said.

M5

Tim Williams and Spankem take out the Kaikoura Cup. “So, we sent him to Matamata and had him agisted there and to work his way through the injury.

“He was then swum and came through the same campaign as Lazarus and Ultimate Machete.”

“He has always been a beautiful racehorse and if you look at both of his runs this season they have been really good.

“His run at Ashburton was

phenomenal when you look at the last 800m they ran and the ground he lost.”

Despite beating New Zealand Cup contenders, there are no immediate regrets in the Spankem camp about the horse not being nominated for next month’s 3200m feature.

“I don’t want to see him over two miles at this stage, he is only

four and he has got plenty ahead of him,” Kennard said.

Though beaten, Pat’s Delight announced his arrival on the open-class scene with a massive effort to run second after sitting parked.

Third-placed Eamon Maguire looked to have few excuses when unable to sprint past either of the first two along the passing lane.

However the horse was set a challenging task with Spankem running a 26.4sec closing 400m.

Star Galleria was slow to begin in the 2400m event, but driver Tony Herlihy was able to give the Steven Reid-trained pacer a nice run in the one-one for most of the race, but was unable to capitalise and only battled in to fifth.

Cruz Bromac put in arguably the best run of the race’s NZ Cup contenders when sprinting strongly to take fourth after racing in midfield. The only mark against the All Stars pacer came when he was slightly slow to step away from the barriers. His getaway was not aided when he was caught standing sideways when the tape was released. - NZHN

In brief Ellerslie return likely Jockey Opie Bosson is likely to make a return to race day riding next week at Ellerslie after injuring his foot in a barrier incident when riding Andoyas at Ellerslie on Saturday. The former Hong Kong galloper knuckled over when jumping away, crushing Bosson’s foot in the barriers. Bosson had x-rays taken on Monday morning, and he is confident that he can make a return to the track next week.

Humidor out for spring Three-time Group One winner Humidor will take no further part in the Melbourne spring carnival after pulling up with an injury after running third behind Winx in the Gr.1 Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley on Saturday.

The New Zealand-bred and part-owned galloper was found to have swelling in one of his legs on Sunday and his trainer Darren Weir revealed that a scan conducted on Monday found damage to a suspensory ligament.

“Unfortunately, he has got a bit of swelling in a front leg. His spring is over, which is unfortunate for everyone involved because the horse was going great,” Weir said.

“He’ll come back and he’ll be fine for the future.”

Hamilton wraps up title

By Jens Marx Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes clinched a fifth Formula One world title with two races to spare yesterday by finishing fourth at the Mexican Grand Prix won by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.

The Briton captured back-to-back titles and his fourth in six years with Mercedes after a maiden trophy with McLaren-Mercedes in 2008 to draw level on joint second with Juan Manuel Fangio on the all-time list.

Only Michael Schumacher has more titles with seven, a mark Hamilton could reach if he also triumphs in the two years of his contract until 2020.

Hamilton won nine season races for a career tally of now 71 and was on fire especially in the second half of the season when he pulled away from Ferrari rival Sebastian Vettel to clinch the title with two races to spare on the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, just as he did last year.

The 33-year-old has an unassailable lead of 64 points into the concluding Brazil and Abu Dhabi races over Vettel, who has failed to add to his four world titles at Red Bull since joining Ferrari in 2015.

Hamilton said: “It’s a very strange feeling right now. It wasn’t won here, it was won through a lot of hard work through many races.

“I’ve been with Mercedes since I was 13 so to complete this – Fangio had done it with Mercedes – it’s an incredible feeling and very surreal at the moment.

“Obivously not an easy day,” said Vettel.

“But well deserved, congrats to Lewis and his team, they did a superb job all year.”

Verstappen got his second season victory and fifth overall the day after missing becoming the youngest ever pole sitter by less than three-hundredths of a second, topping the podium from Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen who was also ahead of Hamilton in the other Ferrari.

Vettel had to win the race and Hamilton

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You may go into a hibernation away from social interaction as you process recent happenings. It’s important to you to get emotionally organised, figuring out what to do with the new stuff.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): The secret is to be content with small gains or to be thrilled by them.

Without small gains, there is not a journey.

Believe this: You are progressing, moving inch by inch toward your desired destination.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The map should enhance your journey, not restrict it. When you have a clear map, you can relax, look around, take in your surroundings without the distraction of a worry that you may be lost.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You made a move, and now you’re not so sure it was the right one. It’s too soon to tell. Sit with it awhile. Turn it over in your mind, and look at all sides. Stay cool.

Wait to see what develops.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Get ready for a joyful awareness of the best that’s inside you. This won’t – and in fact cannot – come from someone telling you that you’ve done well. It can come only from knowing yourself.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You want to feel you belong to someone, but not controlled. You want to call someone yours with the idea that you own some of the relationship but not the person.

Boundaries get worked out.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): There are a lot of things you could do, but why? That’s the question to answer. Because someone is telling you to do it is not a good enough reason today.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Some attitudes are harder to muster than others but worth the effort.

Determination, tenacity and enthusiasm may take some working up to. Give yourself the right reasons and you’re halfway there.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): People say starting is the hardest part, but often that’s not the case.

For instance, it was easy for you to head into a recent project with high energy. Handling the slump in the middle will be the real test.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): If you’re going too fast, it’s hard to keep things in control. But it’s harder to stay in control when you’re going too slowly. That’s why it’s important to be around people with a similar sense of pacing.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): How well a person does a thing will depend on attitude. Keep it in mind when you’re choosing your team or deciding which group to join. Sincere smiles will be a good test of sincere people.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Advance confidently. Luck is not on your side, but there are no significant forces to oppose you. On a neutral day such as this, a confident advance will tip the scales of fortune your way.

Chapman takes charge Paul Chapman had the final say in the charge to the line, claiming victory in Tinwald Cycling Club’s 48km handicap event around the Grahams Road block on Sunday.

The result in the NBS, Niagara Sawmilling race was wide open, with a sizeable group of riders coming together in the concluding stages of the race, but it was Chapman who produced the strongest

sprint to lift the Cavill Shield and secure the major spoils.

Quentin Lawler flew into second place, with John Uden producing his best ride of the season to date to claim third spot.

Nick Grijns, Matt Marshall and Glen Marshall were in the thick of the finish to round out the top six.

Scratch-marker Hayden Jefferson led in a good bunch of co-

markers in a time of 67.47 minutes to secure fastest time honours.

Tony Ward and Brad Hudson lifted second and third fastest times.

Meanwhile, the juniors and division two riders contested a 16km handicap event.

Mitch Brookland pulled out a top shelf effort to claim the junior win, while Maddi Lowry contin-

ued her good form with a strong second place finish and in doing so claimed second fastest time honours.

Alex Holmes backed up last week’s victory with a solid third placing, which was good enough for third time, while fourth placegetter, Caitlin Titheridge, riding off the back mark secured fastest time honours, covering

the distance in 27.36 minutes.

Bella Roulston, Zac Brookland, and Brooke Wylie rounded out the top six.

Debbie Skinner took division two victory with Gary Weston securing second place and fastest time.

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