Building up steam

The overhead bridge proved a great stage for rail enthusiasts keen to see a historic stream train as it passed through Ashburton yesterday.

The 1946 historic JA1240 steam locomotive pulled in at the site where the town’s railway station stood until just a few months ago, on its way to Timaru, as part of celebrations of 150 years of

New Zealand rail. It came back through Ashburton yesterday afternoon on its return journey, again stopping briefly.

The occasion was also commemorated at the Plains Vintage Railway Museum over the weekend – where the vintage K88 steam engine and a recently restored 1924 B12 locomotive were in action on the private line.

Five things that may interest you

Uni buys Germaine Greer archive An archive of letters and documents owned by feminist icon Germaine Greer has been purchased by the University of Melbourne for $3 million. The archive, filling more than 150 filing cabinet drawers, will be moved to the university from Professor Greer’s home in the United Kingdom in July next year.

It contains letters from family, friends, writers, artists, academics, broadcasters, editors, scholars, critics, politicians and neighbours.

It also includes a large number of unsolicited letters from the public documenting sexual, social and intellectual challenges and change, the university says.

INSIDE TODAY Kelly reignites Lady Gaga feud

2

TV presenter Kelly Osbourne has reignited her Twitter feud with Lady Gaga. The former reality television star has been trading barbs with the singer for months but her mother, Sharon Osbourne, appeared to bury the hatchet when Gaga performed on the X Factor UK at the weekend.

Sharon was pleasantly surprised when the performer brought a cake that read “Happy Birthday Kelly”, and applauded her “graciousness” while sharing a photo of the pair on social media. But Kelly, who turned 29 yesterday, was not impressed. “Not to be ungrateful but why would you send me a birthday cake via my MOTHER in a country half the world away? #JustSendItToME #LoveNotWar,” Kelly Osbourne tweeted. “#StefaniStopIt!” Kelly continued, referring to the star on a first-name basis.

Man ate insects to survive A West Australian man had to resort to eating insects after he became stranded in bushland in the state’s South West region when his car became bogged. Christopher Frendo, 31, was last seen refuelling his utility at a service station in Busselton on Wednesday. Mr Frendo, who said he was going to the bush to photograph wildlife, was found by a passing motorist near Nannup on Sunday afternoon. Police said it was understood he ate insects and drank from pools of water to survive his ordeal. He was taken to Busselton hospital for attention.

Lou Reed dead at 71 Lou Reed, the American music pioneer who fused folk’s lyricism with punk rock’s energy and darkness, has died of complications following a liver transplant He was 71.

Reed’s literary agent Andrew Wylie said the singersongwriter died at 11am yesterday at Long Island.

Viewed by many as the godfather of punk, Reed forged a new cultural universe with the Velvet Underground, the band he formed with Welsh musician John Cale in 1965, a time of evolving youth identity.

Among his best-known works was Walk on the Wild Side.

Has monster migrated?

Could a North Queensland tropical island have its very own Loch Ness monster?

Some beachgoers at Magnetic Island, off Townsville, seem to think so after seeing a distinctive long, curved “neck” bobbing up and down off the coast on Friday. But marine biologists who’ve seen the picture say the unidentified marine object is probably a piece of a tree or boat. And a man who has dedicated his life studying mythical animals is also unconvinced it’s a “Nessie”. The strange sea sighting has created quite a buzz on the island, with locals desperate to know: just what is lurking in the water?

■ ROAD SAFETY

Drivers praised for good behaviour As a steady stream of traffic passed through Ashburton yesterday, police praised driver behaviour over the long weekend.

A combination of a reduced speed tolerance and increased visibility of police on the roads has prompted people to be more attentive behind the wheel and has helped to ensure people are

travelling at safer speeds, national road policing manager superintendent Carey Griffiths said.

“Staying under the speed limit gives you time to react to hazards and potential mistakes of other drivers on our roads. No driver is perfect. Mistakes are inevitable. But if you are mind-

ing your following distance and are driving at a safe speed then you buy yourself a life – you will have time to react and evade.”

Police are appealing to the public to look after one another on our roads for the remainder of Labour weekend, which officially finished at 6am today.

Last Labour weekend there

were six deaths and 112 injuries.

This compares to one confirmed fatality as at 6pm last night.

The lowest number of fatalities over a Labour Day weekend since records began is two, recorded in 1977. Three deaths were recorded in 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2006.

As people travel home there is

a potential for fatigue to become a factor.

“If a driver has had less than six hours sleep, the risk of a crash triples. We highly recommend that drivers take time to stop, have a power nap, or revive at one of the many excellent cafes en route to your destination,” superintendent Griffiths said.

planned around the country over the weekend – but the only other South Island site at Lewis Pass site closed due to high winds.

Ealing site manager Cathy Knowsley said a lot of drivers were aware of the rest stops now, and included a stop in their travel plans.

“We get people returning and quite a few tourists in campervans as well,” she said.

“People really appreciate what we do and it’s a really positive vibe.”

The sites are manned by volunteers from State Insurance, and serve to educate drivers

about fatigue.

Last year fatigue was identified as a major contributor to 51 road fatalities, 139 serious injuries and 555 minor injuries.

The social cost of this carnage was estimated to be $291 million, according the Ministry of Transport.

ABOVE: Canadian tourists Tim Moffat and Kristin Bianchini found the offer of free refreshments at the State Driver Reviver rest stop at Ealing too good to pass on.

Free food reward for pit stop Many travellers enjoyed a roadside picnic at Ealing yesterday.

The State Driver Reviver rest stop was a hive of activity, with a constant stream of traffic pulling in for free barista coffee, a barbecued sausage or two, water, fruit and the chance to take a break from the road.

Canadian tourists Tim Moffat and Kristin Bianchini were impressed. The couple were travelling from Akaroa to Oamaru when the signs tempted them off the road.

“This is awesome,” Mr Moffat said. “I’ve never seen a sign saying free food before.”

He had found the drive over the winding Banks Peninsula hills challenging, and welcomed the break.

“The roads here are a lot different to Canadian roads – which are usually very straight.”

Meanwhile, 22-month-old Jack Hawkes was also pleased to be free from his car seat. He was travelling from Oamaru to Christchurch, and had a fractious moment after waking from a sleep.

The rest stop was one of five

■ CLIMBERS DIE

■ RURAL WOMEN

Kiwis aid healthy mothers project ‘I won’t

survive,’ woman texts dad

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A small group of Kiwi women is playing a huge role in improving maternal health in developing countries.

Among that group are Ashburton’s Kerry Maw and Jeanette Tarbotton, who have recently returned from the triennial conference of the Associated Country Women of the World in Chennai, India.

They presented a resolution to the conference seeking a commitment from all member societies to work with their Governments to provide well funded and well resourced maternity services in rural areas.

This was accepted unanimously and the organisation’s 460 member societies must now work towards this goal, Mrs Maw said.

“This is now binding on all 460 member societies. Now they have to go back and advocate for change.”

To highlight the need for education and services, Mrs Maw said delegates had an opportunity to travel into remote villages. T hey spent time with mothers and babies and talked about their lives to gain a better understanding of the need.

“We’re seeing around 800 women dying a day throughout the world in childbirth. This is in simple childbirth where it might not happen if proper medical people were there and good education was provided for women about health and child birth,” she said.

With the resolution accepted, it will also be advocated at United National level.

The Country Women’s organisation represents nine million women in 70 countries.

Mrs Maw has been appointed to the organisation’s UN sub-committee and will at-

By matthew BackhouSe aNd matthew theuNiSSeN

tend twice yearly meetings in London. “We have direct input into the UN and we accept this will be a massive task, but we can also take this through the Commissioner on the Status of Women. You feel like this is a drop in the ocean, but we’re doing something,” she said.

The first step in improving the lot of rural women was raising awareness and that’s what the member societies were now charged with doing, Mrs Maw said.

“Then it’s about getting governments to recognise they need to do more.

“It’s about the way they value women and it’s about recognising the need to spend money on health for the next generation.

“The future is the children.

You only have healthy babies if there are healthy mothers.”

ABOVE: The Kiwi women received a special welcome in India.

■ POLITICAL POLLS

No boost for Labour Two new polls, out yesterday, have failed to give Labour a significant boost its supporters had hoped for under new leader David Cunliffe.

A One News Colmar Brunton poll has Labour on 34 per cent, no change, and Fairfax’s Ipsos poll has both Labour and National up by almost the same amount.

The Herald DigiPoll’s last survey, in September - shortly after saturation publicity around the new Labour leadership, showed a 6.8 per cent gain to Labour and the ability to form a government with the Green and Mana parties.

That has not been reflected in these latest polls. The One News poll is its first since the new Labour leadership.

One of two climbers who died after being trapped on Mt Taranaki this weekend had texted her father saying she didn’t expect to survive.

Nicole Sutton, 29, and Hiroki Ogawa, 31, died after sheltering from bad weather in a snow cave for two nights.

Rescuers reached the pair about 7.30am yesterday, finding Dr Ogawa dead and Ms Sutton alive, but she lost consciousness and died later.

Ms Sutton’s father, Keith Sutton said he had received a text message from his daughter on Saturday night saying she didn’t think she would survive.

When he woke yesterday morning he said he thought Nicole was dead, while high on the mountain she was still alive.

Rescuers had found Ms Sutton still alive and talking. She deteriorated over the next few hours and died.

Mr Sutton said his daughter and Dr Ogawa died doing what they loved. They were both very independent people who loved the outdoors, he said.

The couple met two years ago, and Mr Sutton and his wife Anne had found Hiroki Ogawa to be a very special man. They always knew he would take very good care of their daughter, and the last 48 hours had proved that, Mr Sutton said.

He said he and Anne were saddened by events but had been amazed by the response and support from the people.

It has National at 45 per cent (down 2); Labour 34 (no change); Greens 13 (up 1); NZ First 4 (no change); Act 1 (no change); Maori Party 1 (no change); and Conservatives 2 (up 1 ). Preferred Prime Minister John Key 43 per cent (up one); David Cunliffe 12 per cent (no change).

The left and right blocs would have the same number of seats, and the Maori Party would hold the balance of power.

The Fairfax Media Ipsos poll has National on 50.2 per cent (up 1.9 points) and able to form a majority government on its own. Labour is on 33.6 (up 2); Greens 10.7 (down 1.6); NZ First 2.3 (down 0.5); Maori Party 0.7 (down 0.7); Mana 0.7 (up 0.2); Act 0.1 (down (0.1).

■ AVASTIN TREATMENT

Patient offers dying doctor her meds

By Vaimoana Tapaleao A woman who requires regular injections to help slow the loss of her eyesight is willing to give her medication to a young man battling to stay alive to see his yet-to-be born daughter.

It’s just one of the many generous offers that continue to pour in for Auckland doctor Jared Noel who is battling cancer and trying to extend his life long enough to see his unborn baby, who is due on January 21.

The 32-year-old’s case featured in the New Zealand Herald last week after a fundraising

effort to raise $60,000 for Avastin treatments went public.

West Auckland woman Lynda Finn was one of the many people to be moved by his story. She has offered to give him her own Avastin injections, which she receives every two months.

The 67-year-old, who lives in Glen Eden, is starting to lose her eyesight and while the injections are not a cure, they are helping to slow the process.

“It’s fully funded and I have no idea why this young man can’t get Avastin injections for his much worse problem. But I am absolutely prepared to give up

my Avastin injections. I’m losing my sight. But I don’t care about that. This boy needs to be given some time. It’s just sensible.

I’m 67 years old, why do I need them? This is a young boy with a family coming.

“And his wife is going to have enough to put up with. If only she could know that he’s seen the baby. If only he could see the baby - then it’s all worth it.”

Dr Noel on Sunday night told the Herald he was incredibly humbled by the offer, but acknowledged that he would not have been able to take it, as their illnesses were very differ-

ent. He had raised more than the $60,000 needed for the treatment.

He said people from around the country had made contact offering services including photography deals and magazine subscriptions.

Those who had donated via the Givealittle fundraising website quickly went past the target and on Sunday night had reached almost $160,000.

“We’re incredibly appreciative. We’re both kind of lost for words.”

The funds raised will see Dr Noel start his Avastin treatment

tomorrow. The side-effects include nausea, fatigue and vomiting - something he said was worth going through if it meant he could get to see his daughter.

“We have to weigh up quality of life versus quantity of life. In this case, quantity of life is important.”

The 32-year-old has been battling bowel cancer for the past five years but was recently told that he may not live past Christmas. While the Avastin won’t cure him, it might allow him to live for a few more months to meet his daughter.

■ KIWI HOLIDAY

If you fancy packing the kids into the car and heading away for a good old-fashioned Kiwi holiday this Christmas, now is the time to book. Lydia Anderson compares your options of a simple tent, a convenient campervan, or splashing out on a comfortable motel.

Off on an old-fashioned Kiwi holiday Tenting

per person, per night.

amping in a tent is still our preferred way to stay at a holiday park, according to the Holiday Parks Association of New Zealand.

More than a third of domestic holiday park guests stay in tents over the summer period, the largest accommodation category on the Association’s 2013 Peak Season Holiday Park Visitor Summary Report.

“The biggest attraction in the holiday park is the fact that you’ve got like-minded people around,’’ said chief executive Fergus Brown.

“You go there and you meet other families. Your kids will jump out of your car, they’ll rush off, they’ll meet somebody else and you won’t see them again until dinner time.’’

There has been increasing demand for improved facilities such as swimming pools and Wi-Fi access, and many parks are upgrading to meet that demand, he said.

Things to consider: If bad weather disrupts your holiday, your family could be cooped up inside a cramped, cold tent.

Camping grounds can be noisy, so a good sleep might be out of the question.

If it’s your first time camping there are initial set up costs to consider, but once you’ve got the gear it’s one of the most cost-effective ways to holiday.

Outlay for first-timers, based

Motels

C

on a family of four: Tent $600 upwards, basic cooker $50 upwards, sleeping mat or bed $20-$200 per person.

Camping ground costs: A tent site costs between $10-$20 per person per night on average.

Variables: Food, activities, fuel.

Campervans Usually the domain of international tourists, campervans are becoming an increasingly popular option among Kiwi campers, Mr Brown said.

The number of Kiwis staying in campervans at holiday parks rose from 6 per cent in the summer of 2009-10 to 10 per cent in 2012-13.

Retirees, especially, see campervans as a great way to get around, he said.

“You can stop, you’re not locked into having to book accommodation ahead because there’s always a campervan site available at a holiday park.’’

New Zealand Motor Caravan Association general manager Bruce Lochore says more Kiwi families and retirees are purchasing motor homes, with the

association’s membership growing by 15 per cent each year.

Things to consider: If travelling through cities, finding suitable parking can be an issue.

Many rural public picnic spots are no-camping zones, so make sure you check before you park up or you risk a $100 fine.

Rental costs: 4-berth campervans $160-$330 per day, depending on the size.

Fuel: About $20, or between 8-13L fuel, per 100km for both petrol- and diesel-fuelled vehicles, based on October fuel prices.

Campground site: $17 to $22

Although it might seem like the priciest option, there is a wide range of built accommodation options to suit different budgets.

Almost a third of Kiwis staying at holiday parks prefer the comfort of built accommodation.

“We’ve got some quite luxurious properties where you might [pay] a couple of hundred dollars...we’ve got cabins on the other hand which might be $50 or $60,’’ said Mr Brown.

However while a motel might offer more privacy, it might not be the best option if you’re looking to meet other families on your travels, he said.

Things to consider: Motel standards vary greatly throughout the country, according to Consumer New Zealand. To avoid disappointment, check all your requirements can be met, check if penalties apply for changing or cancelling a booking, and confirm your arrangement in writing.

Motel prices: For four people, prices range from about $80 for a cabin, to $280 per night.

Prices on Trade Me’s Travelbug website range from $40 to $295 per night.

Variable costs: food, fuel, activities.

OUR VIEW

The nitrate debate Michelle Nelson CHIEF REPORTER

T

he great nitrate debate has reared its head again, with Environment Canterbury’s recently released ground water survey report demonstrating a hike in the number of contaminated wells.

Mid Canterbury was singled as a nitrate hotspot, home to 20 of the 33 Canterbury wells with nitrate levels above the recommended health standard.

Canterbury officer of health Alistair Humphries was quick to wade in, saying it was only a matter of time before a baby falls prey to “blue baby syndrome” – or methaemoglobinaemia.

This condition, which can be fatal, only occurs in bottle fed babies from birth to six months old, and possibly en utero – although this hasn’t been proved at this point.

None of this is news, but the witch hunt which followed via several media channels had the potential to panic parents.

And the figure was pointed squarely at the environmental impact of dairying despite the fact other agricultural activities also contribute to the problem.

The fact is there has never been a death attributed to blue baby syndrome in Mid Canterbury and debate is not and never has been black and white.

Ashburton District Council was quick to confirm the district’s publicly-supplied drinking water as safe, and a Federated Farmers spokesperson pointed out the affected wells are all shallow and privately owned.

Federated Farmers vicepresident and medical doctor William Rolleston also entered the fray, pointing out that blue baby syndrome was uncommon in developed countries because there were other factors at play in its occurrence.

Dr Rolleston also noted the ECan testing was purposely undertaken in the spring, when nitrate levels were always at their highest, and New Zealand’s drink water standards were among the highest in the developed world.

Farming is the backbone of the local economy and farming bodies are working hard to lessen the incidence of nitrogen leaching, while keeping the wheels of industry turning.

No one is saying we can’t or shouldn’t do better, but scaremongering and witch hunts are rarely ever helpful.

Give it up for dairy’s Oscars

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Do you have to

work on Labour Day Monday?

WILLY AWAY

W

hat do you call the dairy industry’s Oscars, Emmys or the Canon Media Awards all rolled into one? It’s the 2014 New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards.

These awards are much more than a night for farmers to don a tux and hit the big smoke, although Auckland is where the finals are being held in 2014.

Next year also happens to be the 25th Anniversary of the Sharemilker/Equity Farmer of the Year competition. For those who don’t know much about sharemilking, it is a unique New Zealand pathway into farming. There is lower order sharemilking which is the first rung on the ladder before progressing onto 50/50 sharemilking. There is also equity partnership, where a farmer manages the farm and draws a salary but also has an equity stake in the farm business. All three forms are businesses and mean people with little money but a great work ethic can make a great future for themselves and their family.

In order to recognise the best in our industry is why 25 years ago, Federated Farmers ran the very first Sharemilker of the Year competition in Stratford.

An amazing reunion has just been held for it and past winners that read like a Who’s Who of Kiwi farming.

The sharemilker competition now forms part of the New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards, which also includes the New Zealand Farm Manager of the Year and New Zealand Dairy Trainee of the Year

competitions. Entries for all of the 2014 awards, including the New Zealand Sharemilker/ Equity Farmer of the Year competition, open this Friday, November 1. Entering the competitions gives dairy farmers the opportunity to raise their profile and reputation in our industry.

To the people who finance us, doing well marks you out a highly bankable proposition.

It is an awesome competition because win or lose, the application process, the competition and judging process all makes you a better farmer and that’s what our industry strives for.

No mention of farming in Mid Canterbury can go without comment on what the Officer of Health for Canterbury, Dr Alistair Humphrey, said about nitrate levels in Canterbury.

Look, we do need to do our bit to minimise the loss of nitrates and nitrogen from the farm system and I am confident science will provide it. This

is why we need all sorts of talented people on and off-farm and to celebrate what this talent achieves. If there are issues we need to own them and work towards informed solutions.

While Dr Humphrey warned about methaemoglobinaemia (Blue Baby Syndrome) and got the headlines, what didn’t get equally prominent mention was that no town drinking supplies were implicated. That includes the great quality water which comes out of the taps in Ashburton. It turns out that the wells with nitrate levels above the New Zealand Drinking Water standard are mostly from shallow aquifers and privately owned. Since these include farms, it explains why Chris Allen, Federated Farmers’ Mid anterbury provincial president, said “I do not believe freaking out much of Canterbury is the best way to communicate to our rural communities”.

Luckily, my Federated Farmers board colleague Dr William

Rolleston, who just happens to be a medical doctor, pointed out that Blue Baby Syndrome is not very common in developed countries. Part of it being unusual is not purely down to lower levels of nitrates in drinking water either, but to other factors, such as a lower risk of gastric infection. With other factors too Dr Rolleston said, “the picture is not as simple as Dr Humphrey has painted”.

As our dairy industry competitions show, it is not about giving up or turning the clock back to 1989 because much has happened over the past 25 years and most of that has been for the better. We have a great industry chock full of talent and if you’ve got what it takes to show New Zealand just what we do and how good we are, then go to www.dairyindustryawards.co.nz

In brief Woman hit by bus A 37-year-old woman was in her backyard when a bus crashed through her fence and hit her in a freak accident on Brisbane’s bayside. The woman was talking to her mum who was hanging out washing when the bus hit her. She has serious head and chest injuries and has been transported to the Princess Alexandra Hospital. Her mum was lucky to have escaped the hurtling bus. Police say the bus was involved in a collision with two cars at the intersection of Peel and Dart streets at Redland Bay. - AAP

Massive storm batters UK

By Cassandra Winograd Driving rains and high winds lashed the UK yesterday, as officials warned that the storm forecasters are calling one of the worst in years will cause widespread disruptions for early morning commuters.

Officials said a 14-year-old boy is feared dead after being swept out to sea while apparently playing in the surf in southern England. Coastguard and police rescuers searched for the boy in high seas with poor visibility, but after several hours the Maritime and Coastguard Agency said it had turned into a search and recovery operation.

Sussex Police urged people to stay clear of the seashore until the storm — dubbed St Jude and #Stormageddon on social

networks — abates.

With winds expected to pick up, railways and airports cancelled many services preemptively amid warnings over treacherous road conditions and the risks of debris from falling trees and flooding.

Prime Minister David Cameron told government agencies to ensure that contingency plans were in place for transportation, schools and power supplies during the storm, which could have gusts stronger than 128km/h akin to those in hurricanes.

Britain does not get hurricanes due to its geographic location.

A regular National Football League game in London between the San Francisco 49ers and Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium last night

went on as planned, but elsewhere contingency planning and cancellations were put into effect.

Heathrow Airport cancelled at least 60 flights ahead of the storm’s arrival in full force, warning travelers to be prepared for disruptions. Rail networks cancelled many trains pre-emptively up through this morning, citing the high risk of trees and other debris expected to fall on train lines.

Eurostar said it would not be able to run any cross-Channel rail services until train lines had been inspected.

Martin Young, the Met Office’s chief forecaster, said that while the storm is “major” for the UK, its winds are not expected to be as strong as those seen in the “Great Storm of 1987,” which saw gusts of

185km/h and left 18 people dead.

Once the storm passes through Britain, it is expected to hit parts of the Nordic countries.

The Danish Meteorological Institute issued a warning, saying winds of hurricanestrength are expected in some parts of Denmark and heightened water levels in western Jutland near the town Esbjerg.

The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute also issued a warning, saying it expects hurricane-strength winds to hit southern and western Sweden tonight, potentially causing damage and travel disruptions. It said the stormy weather is expected to subside as it moves north over the next few days.

■ TURKEY

Turkey fulfils sultan’s dream with tunnel Turkey is set to unveil the world’s first sea tunnel connecting two continents, fulfilling a sultan’s dream 150 years ago, but also fuelling recent anti-government sentiment for such mega projects.

“Our ancestors worked on (the project). It fell to us to realise it,” said Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of the rail tunnel under the Bosphorus linking the European and Asian sides of the bustling city of Istanbul.

The bold project was first im-

agined by a sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Abdoul Medjid, in 1860, but he lacked the technology and funds to take his idea further.

Erdogan, a former mayor of Istanbul, revived the plan in 2004 as one of his grandiose construction projects for the city that also include a third airport, a parallel canal and a third bridge - all denounced as “pharaonic” by his critics.

His ambitions were a source of unrest at the mass anti-government protests that swept the

country in June, with local residents complaining that the premier’s urban development plans were forcing people from their homes and destroying green spaces.

Although officially opening tomorrow, the rail tunnel will not be fully operational.

“The part that is in service is very limited. All that has been delayed to much later,” said Tayfun Kahraman, president of the Istanbul Chamber of Urban Planners.

Japan’s Prime Minister Shin-

zo Abe will be present at the opening, as the Bank of Japan was the main financer contributing $A1.07 billion to a project that has cost an estimated $A4.36 billion.

Construction of the tunnel, that runs 1.4km under the Bosphorus Strait, had been scheduled to take four years but was delayed after a series of major archaeological discoveries.

Some 40,000 objects were excavated from the site, notably a cemetery of some 30 Byzantine ships.

A 5.5-magnitude earthquake has struck off the east coast of Japan, the US Geological Survey says no tsunami warning has been issued.

The quake hit at a depth of 26km yesterday, about 324km east of the town of Namie, the USGS said. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre did not issue an alert. A powerful 7.1-magnitude undersea quake off the east coast two days ago triggered a small tsunami, which was recorded as being as high as 55cm in one place.

Bomb kills eight A roadside bomb blast has killed at least 18 civilians, mostly women, as they were heading to a wedding party in central Afghanistan. “A roadside bomb planted by the enemies of Afghanistan in Andar district of Ghazni province hit a civilian vehicle around 4.30pm,” said Mosa Khan Akbarzada, Ghazni provincial governor.

“Unfortunately, we have 14 women, three men, and a child on board martyred in this tragic incident,” Akbarzada said. Deputy provincial police chief Asadullah Insafi confirmed the attack and gave a similar account.

Destruction plan Syria has handed over a detailed plan to destroy its chemical weapons stockpile on time. “On 24 October 2013, the Syrian Arab Republic submitted to the OPCW its formal initial declaration covering its chemical weapons program,” the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) said in a statement yesterday. Damascus was required to submit the destruction plan under a joint US-Russia deal agreed last month that headed off military strikes on Syria. The accord also gives Syria up to mid-2014 to destroy its chemical arsenal.

400 migrants rescued Italian authorities have rescued more than 400 asylum seekers off the coast of Sicily. About 80 children are among those rescued overnight. The Italian government has stepped up sea patrols in the Mediterranean this month after 366 boat people trying to reach Europe from Africa drowned on October 3. More than 36,000 refugees have reached Italy by sea this year. The October tragedy prompted calls for a unified EU response to the influx of people.

Thousands of refugees fleeing conflict and poverty in Africa and the Middle East attempt to reach Europe by sea each year.

Provincial A very successful international day of Rural Women took place at Rakaia on October 15.

Our regional day is a wonderful opportunity for members to discuss the many events planned, like our stand at our local A&P show, Christchurch show, and the CRT ladies night.

Urban areas may see a reduction to a three-day mail service, (July 2015) but it is great news that the rural delivery service will continue in its present form, the five-day service ensures people are able to run their farming enterprises and other rural business effectively. These businesses breathe life into rural communities, as we have seen through our Enterprising Rural Women Awards. Our rural delivery contractors provide a lifeline, delivering supplies, repairs and spare parts, animal health remedies, medicines and courier parcels.

From November 1, child restraint laws will be changing to improve the safety of children travelling on our roads. The mandatory use of child restraints in vehicles will be extended by two years, with all children required to be correctly secured in an approved restraint (this includes booster) until their 7th birthday.

It’s a driver’s responsibility to make sure any child, under the age of 15, travelling in their vehicle is correctly secured so parents and caregivers should start thinking about how they will meet the new requirements from November 1.

More information NZTA’s website.

Our link meeting will be held November 29, at the Tinwald School Assembly Hall, (note a change of venue), this event is being hosted by Lynnford Branch, this will be the last meeting for the year, and I look forward to meeting you once again.

Our partners joined us after our business meeting in October when locals Alison and Donald Shearer gave us a very entertaining address accompanied by a moving picture show of their recent 100 days on a cruise ship. They called into many countries on their trip although at most places there was time for only a few hours in each place but as Donald said areas that looked very attractive to them were ideas for another holiday in the future.

We heard about the food, entertainment and general lifestyle aboard ship for such a long period of time. We are not sure if members will replicate the 100 days Cruise but many will be encouraged to take shorter cruises after hearing how enjoyable it can be when undertaking this type of travelling.

Prior to the talk President Trish had welcomed 22 members and one guest to our business meeting. Once again we had been busy during the month, catering for a bus load from Christchurch for a luncheon and providing and serving 150 suppers for an Irrigation Company meeting.

Members had also delivered Meals on Wheels during the month and at this meeting had provided baking for the 206 Club.

There had been a Regional Day for Rural Women the previous day at Rakaia.

During November many members will be involved with the Ashburton A & P Show and also have the opportunity to be involved with cooking demonstrations at the Christchurch A & P Show.

Our next meeting on November 20 will be our annual mystery bus trip and members are encouraged to get their names in to ensure a place on the bus.

Supper concluded the evening along with lots of conversation among those present.

■ FLEECES HEAD TO ITALY

MARKET REPORT Lamb Slaughter data for September shows that the lamb slaughter finished the season strongly, with 26 per cent more lambs killed in NZ than the same period a year ago. That meant the 2012/13 season ended with fractionally over 20.9 million lambs processed, which is higher than most early estimates. Although that’s 2 million more lambs than the previous season, it is still the third lowest season total in many decades. The spike is expected to be short lived though, with the 2013/14 slaughter forecast to be over 2 million head lower again.

Although the drought impacted on farmers’ ability to finish lambs in 2012/13, the national average carcaseweight at slaughter still reached 18kg. That’s down 3.5 per cent on weights from the previous season but is the third heaviest average on record due to the long-term trend of increasing carcaseweights.

Beef A total of 2.29 million cattle were processed at NZ export slaughter plants during 2012/13, 10 per cent more than the previous season. In somewhat of a reflection of the relative severity of the drought, numbers processed in the North Island were up 11 per cent, while South Island processing lifted by 7 per cent.

The big lift was virtually entirely due to 195,000 extra cows being processed across the country, which equates to a huge yearon-year lift of 27 per cent. Although some of the extra cows slaughtered will have been beef

cows, it’s highly likely that the majority were of dairy origin.

Year-on-year changes were less dramatic for other classes of cattle. The national steer and heifer slaughters for the season were up 3 per cent and 2 per cent respectively, while the bull kill fell by 3 per cent.

Dairy Trading activity has picked up on the NZX Dairy Futures market this week. Extended trading hours has allowed for greater participation from the northern hemisphere. Buyers are also taking advantage of the steep downward sloping forward price curve on offer to lock in purchases at prices below spot levels.

Meanwhile in the physical market sellers are looking for prices around current spot level for Q1 2014 deliveries. Oceanic suppliers are reporting very strong demand for milkfat, particularly AMF, but this is has not been reflected in the Agrifax price series. The reverse is occurring in the northern hemisphere where butter prices have eased both in the US and in Europe. In Europe butter is being released from private storage which is increasing supplies. Whole milk powder (WMP) prices also eased in all of the main European markets this week.

NZ is currently at peak milk production and dairy companies are utilizing all available processing capacity. While market returns indicate that WMP should remain the product of choice to manufacture, processing capacity constraints are limiting manufacturing choices.

Sheep dip transforms merino business A unique combination sheep dip has transformed high country farmers Neil and Leonie Wood’s business from one struggling with lice-infested merino flocks to one exporting fleece to Italy for designer suits.

The pair have managed Cora Lynn Station in Arthur’s Pass for the past 10 years, running 1800 merino ewes and 750 half-bred ewes, as well as 350 merino hoggets and 150 half-bred hoggets.

But the Woods were struggling with a lice problem in their stock so severe that fleece profits had dropped by 20 per cent.

“We had a major, major problem,” Neil said. “Up to 90 per cent of stock had lice.” Sheep would rub themselves raw on fences and would sometimes bleed from gnawing at their flanks. The lice greatly affected fleece quality, which was increasingly cotted and unmarketable.

In 2011 the pair began working with Ravensdown animal health technical manager Carl Ahlfeld to test Ravensdown’s new sheep dip, Saturate Gold, a combination insect growth regulator concentrate that combats flystrike and lice in each application. Carl said merinos were ideal for testing the new dip because the breed’s dense, waterresistant fleece often makes lice control

Trial work began in June 2011, with the dip applied to lice-infested woolly Merino hoggets with six months’ wool in a mini shower saturation dip. Standard lice counts were taken before dipping and repeated at six-week intervals afterwards.

■ IRRIGATION

Critical deadline for CPW scheme For the Central Plains Water Ltd irrigation project to proceed, it needs a minimum shareholder commitment to irrigate 18,000 ha of Stage I of the 60,000ha scheme by October 31.

After 13 years of development, CPWL aims to raise $45 million from shareholders of which $35 million will be used to construct Stage I of the scheme and the remaining to fund the design for Stage II and Stage III and also to contribute to the building of extra capacity in the Stage I headrace to allow for the future stages.

“The deadline is 5pm on October 31 to commit to Stage I Construction Shares and Stage II & III Pre-Construction shares. We need this commitment not only for the viability of the project but also to get on with the tendering process for the scheme construction,” said CEO, Derek Crombie.

The offer to existing shareholders is for 20,000 Stage I Construction Shares at an issue price of $1750 per share and 40,000 Stage II & III PreConstruction Shares at an issue price of $200 per share. As well as the 18,000ha for Stage I, CPWL needs commitment for 26,000ha of Stage II & III “The scheme will become an anchor project for central Canterbury with the ability to generate long term economic and employment benefits.

“Irrigated farmland, on average, generates three times the production of an equivalent area farmed under dryland systems with one third of the wealth and employment created from irrigation occurring on farm and the other two thirds spread through the rural and city communities,” he said.

An economic impact report said that the CPW scheme, when fully operational, will generate approximately $1 billion to $1.4 billion per annum.

Direct and indirect employment is estimated to increase by about 1130 jobs with a further 7614 jobs coming from processing, transport and related off-farm activity. Construction is expected to generate 818 direct jobs and 1777 indirect jobs.

“If Stage I farmers don’t commit before 5pm on October 31, this once in a lifetime opportunity will be missed. We understand the complexities around the decision making, but the reality is that if they don’t commit now we will struggle to keep the project going. We can only build the pipeline for committed demand, not for future expected capacity.

CPWL has called tenders this week for the 100km of trenching and 130km of piping required for Stage I.

Ashburton Gala Day a great day out

By Maryann Cowan

A

phone call to the museum office several months ago had me dancing for joy, figuratively. A lady hesitantly asked if the museum would be interested in receiving her recently deceased mother’s photo, dancing shoes and gala medal from 1928.

My caller was the daughter of Hazel Clayton, a daughter of Ashburton Domain’s Curator H. Percy Clayton, who had been aged eight when she won the Highland fling (local) girls and boys under-10 section of the1928 Ashburton Gala.

The photo was of Hazel in her Highland dancing costume, the shoes were the ones she wore on the day.

This was the Jubilee Gala on Labour Day, Monday, October 22, 1928, organised and run by the Advance Ashburton Association, in the oval of the Ashburton Domain. It was a Jubilee Gala, not because the gala days had been running for a long time, but to celebrate the jubilee year for the settlement of Ashburton, 50 years since William Turton and his family had arrived to establish their home and business on the northern bank of the Ashburton River.

The gala was one of a number of celebrations held at this time for the jubilee.

Hazel Clayton was very proud of her medal which she kept with the associated memorabilia close to her all her life, passing on to her family the story of the day and how much it meant to her, also that she had loved living and growing up in Ashburton.

Her family decided that as they were part of Ashburton’s history, it was the right place for these precious items. Being at the museum would make them accessible for all of Hazel’s family to see.

The gala day story is a story of two parts.

Firstly, that of the April, 1921, Ashburton Sports Gala held at the Ashburton Show Grounds, raising £1000 in total, to assist sport in the Ashburton District.

Secondly, from 1922, the Advance Ashburton Association was formed and initiated Ashburton’s Gala Day to be held on Labour Day each year.

Gala day survived until the late 1930s and its objective was to raise funds to improve and beautify the borough and its reserves, promote the interests of its citizens and raise awareness of the attractions of the area to possible settlers and investors.

To quote from their membership card from 1923: “A town without a spirit is a town without a soul, and apathy

in public matters is a certain indication of decadence”, followed by “Citizens! make your Town a better place to live in.”

The 1921 gala must have involved a huge amount of planning, though it appears all sections of the community pitched in to support the day.

The mayor, Mr R. Galbraith, also president of the gala committee, advertised that he invited his citizens to observe a “whole holiday” for the occasion.

The local banks made Thursday, April 14, 1921, a special bank holiday with the Ashburton Guardian advertising “The Great Event!” as the biggest attraction for years with a magnificent sports programme with Canterbury champion athletes, though later, closer to gala day the headline became The Dominion’s “Crack” Athletes.

J. Henderson, Clothier and Mercer, Burnett Street, urged his customers to “Cheer up, and buy a Borsalino Hat for Gala Day”. I wonder how many took up his offer?

There was to be a children’s demonstration – the athletes of the future. All schools were involved in a special programme, perhaps a forerunner of the county sports day.

A Citizens’ Motor Service was offered; a lorry supplied by F. W. Watson would run from

Tinwald with two cars each from Hampstead School and Allenton School and local taxis all competing for custom to get patrons to the gala.

Two bands would be in attendance, luncheon booths were to be on the grounds and the afternoon trains would be delayed. A special mention was made that the morning Christchurch train into Ashburton would stop at the showgrounds for the convenience of the gala patrons.

To coincide with gala day and to raise further funds the Theatre Royal hosted a gala night presented by “Top-Notch” artists from Christchurch and Ashburton and urged our citizens not to miss this Festival of Mirth and to see the Great Aeroplane Stunt by four local comedians, introducing stage flying accompanied by songs and local hits.

The 1921 Sports Gala was proclaimed a “pre-eminent success”, a great boost to sport and a big crowd entertained!

One could be worn out just from reading the report in the following day’s paper what with the athletics, side shows, highland dancing and piping, tug of war, to the pony trot and the kids’ hay wallop, one could not have claimed to be bored.

The gala sketcher and official souvenir programme produced

by Frank Choate, a local cartoonist and publicity expert, and included caricatures of local officials and identities.

Funds from this gala were used to buy trophies for various sporting codes, including the St John Ambulance as they attended most sporting events.

The cups donated were known as the Gala Cup and a number are still contested today in the Ashburton District. I would be interested to know which clubs received these trophies and which are still in use today?

In the following years, gala days were held at the Ashburton Domain and followed much the same format.

Gala days kicked off with a gala procession and in 1928 it was no different; led by the B Squadron First NZ Mounted Rifles (CYC) up East Street through the CBD, following on was the Ashburton Silver Band, Ashburton Fire Brigade, decorated bikes from the Ashburton Motorcycle Club, the pipe band, decorated cars and bicycles and a lorry with a party of Kaiapoi Maoris from Tauhiwi Pa issuing melodious sounds, the men dancing their wild hakas, while the girls sang and swayed to the roll of the music – and that of the lorry.

The Lyndhurst School contingent was conveyed by past and present modes of school

transport – horse and cart and two motor lorries – while past and present costumes was the theme for Messrs G. Hefford & Co’s display.

Vehicles included 21 Whippet cars, a Big Tree petrol container with a Castrol exhibit, a motor bus with residents from Tuarangi Home; local dealers with a Morris from Smallbone Bros, a Buick exhibit from Messrs Sim and Wilson Motors Ltd, with further exhibits from Ashburton Power Board, Messrs L. Hopkins, W. J. Osman. A “Baby” Austin and three Chryslers from Osborne’s garage, all no doubt delighting the men in the crowd.

The crowds that lined East Street were entertained by two strangely attired “policemen” wielding paper batons to occasionally crush bystanders’ hats. The Gay Gala-teers dispensed music and song from the deck of their lorry, warming up for their turn on stage at the main event.

The parade stopped at the railway station so the Walnut Avenue crossing would be clear for the south-bound Express.

It seems some things around Ashburton haven’t changed!

The galas were much anticipated, well planned, well supported, great entertainment and thoroughly enjoyed by all – all in all, a great day out!

■ RUGBY

Tew on top Riders not only battled each other but also the strong norwester ensuring a tough race in the Tinwald Cycling Club’s graded scratch race around the Blackbridge block on Sunday.

Nathan Tew showed a strong final kick to claim the A grade honours from Michael Templeton.

B grade had a three person break away on the final lap and Rob Hooper held on in a tight finish to claim the win from Myles O’Donnell and Kristine Marriott.

Paul McFie continued his solid start to the season with a winin C grade, while Roger Wilson had too much in the final charge to the line setting up victory in D grade.

The juniors and division 2 raced a handicap event over 20km. Ryan Jackson rode strongly off the front to keep the chasing riders at bay to take the win, andSonya Hyde took the honours in Division 2.

McCaw, Carter on show The Richie McCaw and Dan Carter double act is likely to delight the 27,000 spectators inside Tokyo’s Prince Chichibu Memorial rugby ground for the Japan v All Blacks test on Saturday, regardless of the result. The injuries to both this season, and subsequent need for extra game time, mean they are a bonus addition for an expectant crowd - apparently all tickets were sold within an hour of them going on sale - but the appearance of the world-famous pair will also add value to their younger teammates’ experience.

Wilkinson returns The NZ Breakers hasty roster changes are part of their continuing scramble to adapt to the new rule interpretations that have thrown the Australian NBL into a tailspin. The three-time champions yesterday announced they have axed import Darnell Lazare just four games into the season and will welcome back Gary Wilkinson, who proved a crowd favourite during his two seasons with the Breakers from 2010-2012.

Jeremiah Trueman is another casualty of the move, with the young Tall Black placed on a waiver to make way for Wilkinson under the points cap. The team’s three title wins have been built on their energetic, in-your-face defence, but over their first four games it has become clear they’re going to have to overhaul their gameplan this season to adjust to the stricter policing of the foul rules.

Mixed bag for Kiwis It was a moment which encapsulated New Zealand’s performance against Samoa and left Sonny Bill Williams embarrassed. With 12 minutes remaining, the second-rower, playing his first test for the Kiwis since 2008, ran brilliantly through four defenders on his way to the tryline before slipping and going over the deadball line as he went to touch down. Sonny Blew Williams, you could say.

“Embarrassed to not score, but nothing wrong with a lil humble pie,” he tweeted after the match.

The Kiwis stumbled at times as well in their 42-24 defeat of Samoa in an explosive beginning to their World Cup defence.

Ref’s call denies Hammers

By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

In the 63rd of the Meads Cup final and the game poised at 2313 in favour of Mid Canterbury, flanker Kody Nordqvist powered and peeled through North Otago tacklers fighting his way towards the try-line.

He bumped into the post and in the goal-line scramble was deemed to be held up by referee Brendon Pickerill, who was playing Mid Canterbury advantage at the time.

The crowd behind the goal

line was adamant Nordqvist had scored a try, against the base of the upright or even managed to touch a blade of grass with precious white paint - either enough for a five-pointer.

The cheers rang out but only briefly as the call was heldup, and they went back for the penalty, after a brief push-andshove between opposing players.

Immediately the calls from the crowd were to go upstairs, the first and only time in the Heartland Championship that a TMO

was at the referee’s disposal.

Mid Canterbury captain Jon Dampney even enquired whether Pickerill would get second look from the man upstairs, who happened to be Johnny Rice, but was promptly told no.

Had the try been scored, it would have put Mid Canterbury out to a 30-13 lead, with Williams sure to convert from bang in front as he did with the penalty that was awarded instead to make it 26-13.

Upon review the camera angles of the incident were incon-

clusive, the referee made his call and the crowd behind the posts were crying foul.

After the game the question had to be put to Nordqvist, and he was adamant.

“I’m sure I got it down on the base of the post,” he said. “I’m not too sure what happened after that or what the call was because I was still buried at the bottom of the ruck.”

In the end it had no major bearing over the result as the Hammers held on for the six point win, and the Meads Cup.

Higher honours for cup victors

By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s Meads Cup win marked a big week for four of the Hammers side.

Halfback Will Mackenzie and centre Dwayne Burrows both played their blazer game (17th cap) in Saturday’s final, the same week the pair was named in the New Zealand Heartland XV along with captain Jon Dampney.

Burrows scored the opening try for the hosts and had a strong game with his trademark tacklebreaking runs and Dampney, in his 93rd game for the province and third Meads cup final, also scored a try while Mackenzie was into everything directing the game from halfback.

It was also a big week for prop Tukulua Tolu as he capped another strong season with big game in the final. Playing his

46th game for Mid Canterbury and his third final, Tolu was strong with ball in hand, made crucial turnovers at the breakdown and produced a trademark big hit on North Otago’s Ed Keohane in the 70th minute.

Although the burly prop missed out on selection to the Heartland XV, he will get a chance to prove the selectors wrong when he lines up against the Heartland XV after being Ashburton Celtic’s nomination in the New Zealand Marist XV. It will also be worrying news for his Mid Canterbury teammates in the Heartland XV, having too look out for the big shoulder of their team-mate in Timaru on November 9, with the Heartland Xv’s first game against the New Zealand Defence Force in Methven on November 5.

Dwayne Burrows is one of three Mid Canterbury players to make the Heartland XV. photo joseph johnson 261013-jj-024

Frighteners put on New Zealand Cup hopefuls

By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

The 2012 New Zealand Trotting Cup winners Ricky May and Terror To Love tore up the field in the Trust Ashburton Flying Stakes yesterday, in what was the most unbelievable race in the race’s 58th year.

The field of 10 was riddled with New Zealand Trotting Cup contenders.

One of the favourites Christen Me, one of the heavily backed contenders for next month’s racing showpiece, was slow off

the start and galloped on the first bend, but the bigger drama came when Fly Like an Eagle broke the off-side rein, giving trainer-driver Mark Purdon a wild ride around the track with the clerk of the course desperately trying to catch up.

Purdon did a superb job of keeping Fly Like an Eagle out of the way, able to pull onto the inside of the track, and all eyes returned to the flyer leading the field around the track.

Terror To Love took the lead heading into the second run

down the back straight and led the field onto the final straight, when May put the hammer down to blow out to a three and a half length win in a time of 2.54.9.

Terror to Love showed it is still the one to beat as it chases a hat-trick of New Zealand Trotting Cups, winning in 2011 with Jim Curtin at the reins and last year with May in the sulky.

Franco Ledger swept up the outside from the back of the field to run into second two and a half lengths clear of Sleepy

Tripp in third, with the John Hay-trained Jimmy Johnstone three-quarters of a length back in fourth.

Aside from the rogue run with Fly like an Eagle, it was a good meeting for the Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen stable.

Purdon drove Bio Marinus to the win in the second race of the day with Rasmussen steering Raesawinner into third, and then Purdon had Aldo Rossi get the win in the fourth while All Star Man got second in the days tenth and final race.

In brief Youngsters go close The Mid Canterbury Youth XI were in action at an under 19 tournament in Christchurch over the long weekend. They had mixed results on day one, beaten 3-0 by Coastal Spirit first up despite a good performance and bounced back to beat Selwyn 4-0 with goals from Jack Roberts and Nick Campbell with Paul Nittmann scoring twice. There were also great debuts from Alecks Small and Darren Cavill. In the last game of the day where a point would have taken the boys into the quarter-finals they went down 1-0 to Waimak. They then had two games on Sunday starting with a 2-0 win over Universities with goals to Campbell and Cavill. FC Twenty 11 then provided strong opposition in the afternoon beating the young Green and Golds 4-0.

Super League postponed A new Indian Super League soccer competition that was to feature former international stars has been postponed. The franchisebased event by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and its commercial partners IMG-Reliance, due to be held from January to March next year has now been pushed back until September.

Organisers said there were a number of reasons including opposition from existing leading clubs but a report suggested they ran out of time to prepare. - AFP

Mourinho fuming Jose Mourinho insists he has been left with no choice but to send out an under-strength Chelsea team in tonight’s League Cup fourth round clash at Arsenal. Mourinho is fuming that League Cup fixture planners decided to schedule Chelsea’s trip to the Emirates Stadium just 48 hours after his side’s 2-1 win over Manchester City in the Premier League. The Blues boss claims Arsenal have been given an unfair advantage because they played at Crystal Palace on Saturday lunchtime, giving them extra time to recover before the London derby.

Top five finish for Currie

By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Braden Currie came in fifth in the Xterra World Championship race in Hawaii yesterday.

Xterra is an off-road triathlon, with the championship race a 1.5km rough water swim, followed by a 32km mountain bike and a 10km trail run through pineapple fields and dense forests.

Currie’s first trip to the world championship event last year resulted in a disappointing 17th place, and he was keen to head back and make his mark.

The 2013 Coast to Coast winner put in a solid training block in the lead-up to the race and has made vast improvements in his swimming ability in the past 12 months which told in the opening leg.

“I had an awesome swim for me and was super happy to come out in the lead group.

After the great start in the water Currie’s aggressive race

style soon took a turn for the worse on the mountain bike leg.

“I had a really good crash on the bike where I managed to go over handlebars in to a tree.

“After the race I needed five stitches in the chin and I have a pretty cut up shoulder.

“But I carried on and felt great in the run clocking the second fastest run by couple seconds.”

His well-known running ability allowed him to recover charging up the field to finish fifth.

The race was won by Spaniard Ruben Rufaza, a second time winner, in a time of 2 hours 34.34, with Currie clocking in at 2 hrs 39.06mins.

“Now I just need to work on my bike and I will be out front next year.”

The women’s race was comfortably taken out by New Zealand’s Nicky Samuels, who like Currie is based in Wanaka.

Chelsea moves up on Torres’ finisher

US too strong for Football Ferns

By JuLian Guyer

PSG stay on top Paris Saint-Germain were 60 seconds from their first defeat of the season yesterday before a desperate equaliser from Blaise Matuidi salvaged a 2-2 draw at Saint-Etienne and kept them top of the French Ligue 1. In a match full of drama and controversy, SaintEtienne threw away a 2-0 second half lead albeit hindered by a red card which allowed Laurent Blanc’s men back in the match. The point allowed PSG to cling to top spot as they lead Monaco on goal difference after Claudio Ranieri’s side defeated Lyon 2-1 earlier in the day.

Roma sets a record League leaders Roma beat Udinese 1-0 away yesterday to set a new all-time record of nine consecutive wins at the start of a Serie A season and restore their fivepoint cushion. Roma, who have conceded just one goal in their nine wins under French coach Rudi Garcia, were reduced to 10 men in the second half after Brazilian Maicon saw red for a second bookable offence.

The New Zealand women’s football team fell 4-1 to world No1 the United States in the opening match of a two-game series in San Francisco yesterday.

In front of a crowd of more than 16,000 at Candlestick Park, the home side flexed their muscle in the first half, the strength and pressing defence

disrupting the Football Ferns’ attempts to build possession phases from the back, resulting in a 3-0 halftime advantage.

But New Zealand, ranked 19th in the world, grew in confidence and were rewarded for their bright start to the second half as Hannah Wilkinson got the New Zealanders on the scoreboard.

Fernando Torres’ perseverance was rewarded when his last-minute goal gave Chelsea a 2-1 win at home to title rivals Manchester City yesterday that catapulted the London club into second place on the English Premier League table.

The match was heading for a draw when, after Willian had helped the ball forward, a mixup led to City defender Matija Nastasic heading the ball past his own keeper Joe Hart, with the onrushing Torres turning the ball into an empty net to the delight of the Stamford Bridge faithful.

Torres’ winner left Chelsea just two points behind leaders Arsenal and atoned for his dramatic 29th-minute miss when, with the match still goalless, he somehow shot over the bar from 10 metres out.

The Spanish striker turned provider for Chelsea’s 33rdminute opener when his run and cross from the right set up Andre Schurrle, who from a mere four metres out, eased the ball in for his first Chelsea goal.

Torres then almost made it 2-0, from 20 metres wide out on the left, but he fired a shot that clipped the angle of the far post and bar.

Chelsea’s failure to make the most of their early dominance

caught up with them four minutes after halftime when, having been played in by Samir Nasri, Aguero let fly with a swerving left-foot shot that beat a static Petr Cech at his near post.

Across London, Tottenham Hotspur moved up to fourth place with a 1-0 victory against Hull at White Hart Lane, Roberto Soldado scoring the only goal of the game.

At the other end of the table, Sunderland climbed off the bottom with a 2-1 home win over arch rivals Newcastle. Fabio Borini’s blistering 18-metre shot six minutes from time gave the Black Cats a first league win of the season, following seven defeats and a draw, after Steven Fletcher’s fifth-minute header had given them the lead.

Victory gave Sunderland manager Gus Poyet a win in his first game in charge at the Stadium of Light but was not good enough to lift the Black Cats out of the bottom three.

“Everything is big today,” said Poyet, who replaced the sacked Paolo di Canio earlier this month. “(The introduction of Borini) was a moment when we needed to take risk. What a goal - the stadium nearly came down,” the Uruguayan added.

In yesterday’s other match, Swansea and West Ham shared the points in a goalless draw at the Liberty Stadium.

In brief Nicholson fifth in Pau Andrew Nicholson and Mr Cruise Control have finished fifth in the four-star event at Les Etoiles du Pau in France yesterday.

Nicholson had two costly rails in the showjumping phase which saw the leaderboard tumbled around.

Winner William Fox-Pitt who had been sitting on a trifecta, did not manage a clear round with any of his three horses. New Zealand’s Lucy Jackson and Willy Do rode a clear round to move from 21st up to 12th. Caroline Powell and Onwards and Upwards picked up just two time faults to also move up the board, from 32nd to finish in 23rd place.

Bozzone turns up heat New Zealand’s Terenzo Bozzone waited until the run to stamp his authority on the Ironman 70.3 Miami yesterday. Bozzone, who was runner-up in the Ironman 70.3 World Championships recently, was with the bunch that trailed Australian Todd Skipworth out of the water. American Ben Collins inched his way to the front to build a 90-second lead over a large pack midway through the 90km bike left but by the end Bozzone and German Nils Frommhold had reeled in all but 40 seconds of Collins’ lead, with the chase pack two minutes further back.

Unleashing his run prowess early, Bozzone grabbed the lead within the first 2kms of the last leg and closed out the race with the fastest run of the day.

Paddon eighth in debut Hayden Paddon has completed a strong debut in the World Rally Championship with an eighth place finish in Rally Spain yesterday.

Paddon finished more than six minutes behind the winner, newly-crowned World Champion Sebastien Ogier. Ogier’s Volkswagen teammate Jari-Matti Latvala finished second ahead of Citroen’s Mikko Hirvonen in third.

Paddon’s stage times on the final day - varying from 11th to eighthquickest - kept him comfortably in ninth overall, but he wasn’t in a position to challenge experienced WRC campaigner Martin Prokop in a similar Fiesta running in front of him. The demise of Citroen’s Dani Sordo allowed Paddon and others to move up the leaderboard.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Avoid over thinking or developing tunnel vision. You don’t need to have all the answers in order to trust your professional star is on the rise.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Mercury’s retrograde phase in your relationship sector is giving you a chance to give unsaid words a voice and revisit previous convictions.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) The relationship desires you’re forging now will define your relationship expectations for the coming year so consider them carefully.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) A nose for money will help narrow things down further, keeping the income momentum going long after you should have exhausted all your options.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Life is about to get a lot busier, with the more you can find a balance between work and play now, the easier it will be to maintain.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) With romantically charged and playful forces kicking off next week, it’s time now to make your life as love and user friendly as possible.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) As Venus moves into her last week in your communication sector she’s working to give your heart a voice. Dare to wear your heart on your sleeve.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) The Moon wraps up his monthly visit to your career sector just as Venus moves into her last week in your income sector, bringing a call to action.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) This is a time where it’s all about listening to your heart and about the ‘what’, worrying about the ‘when, where and how’ when the time comes.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) With Venus just 7 days away from her longest visit to your sign in over 200 years refuse to limit your expectations based on the past.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) This is an important day for friendship and relationship building and for looking to the future and establishing what you want.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) Put your work and career objectives on the same page, with a need to be looking to the future, ready to build on from what you’ve already achieved.

In the boys’ 14s eighth seed James Watt upset fourth seed Riley Bruhns 7-5, 6-2 to make the semi-finals, where he was beaten by second seed and eventual winner Edward Batt 1-6, 5-7.

In the girls’ 12s new recruit Tessa McCann was the fifth seed but advanced all the way to the final only to fall to top seed

Elizabeth Andre 0-6, 3-6. McCann also played in the doubles final alongside Erin ConnellyWhyte, going down to Andre and Kirsten Swindell.

In the 8/9 boys’ things went to seedings.

Third seed Harry Dargue advanced to the semi-finals only to be ousted by top seed Diego

Quispe-Kim, who then beat second seed Tyler Leonard in the final 6-3. Dargue and Leonard then combined to take out the doubles.

Stacey Hopwood finished third in the 16 girls’ singles with Larissa Allan combining with Rebecca Dellaway to take out the doubles.
