Lamb thefts gut Fairton woman BY SUE NEWMAN

THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY
Pania Rawiri-Shaw has watched the flock of lambs in her front paddock disappear, one by one, night after night. The Fairton woman said she’s been in tears over the theft of the lambs she’d hand-reared and has now installed a range of security measures to stop the on-going thefts. The lambs have been strays and triplets from a family farm that were being bottle-fed. They’ve been disappearing over the past two months, and each time it’s one of the younger lambs that are taken, she said. The lambs are taken singly and always at night. The thefts have also upset
the close-knit Fairton community, as local children had enjoyed watching them in the paddock, Rawiri-Shaw said. “I’d love to hear from anyone who has seen anything or knows of someone who has suddenly acquired a pet lamb.” The police have been notified and they’ve checked her property. On Tuesday night she slept in her conservatory hoping to catch the thieves. She heard noises early morning but couldn’t see anyone. Yesterday morning, however, she found one lamb badly injured and discovered that another had been stolen. “I’m absolutely gutted,” she said. Rawiri-Shaw works at Hannah and Henry’s pre-school and the lambs have
been regular visitors while they are on a four-hourly feeding schedule. “The kids love feeding them and caring for them. It teaches them about nurturing. “They’ve brought a lot of joy to the pre-schoolers,” she said. “I’m pretty devastated and I haven’t told the kids at work the lambs have been stolen. “I feel violated now especially as they were in my yard.” Her paddock is quite open and while Rawiri-Smith thought being visible was a good security strategy, she’s now having second thoughts, believing her lambs were simply too visible to wouldbe thieves.

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE
College curriculum change supported By Sue NewmaN
Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
An innovative curriculum change at Ashburton College has been given overwhelming support by both students and parents. The college has developed a pilot programme for next year’s Year 9 students that will use a new approach to learning based on developing students’ resilience, creative problem solving and communication skills. About 60 per cent of next year’s Year 9 students will be involved in the pilot that will see students involved in a project based learning model that sees the integration of some subjects rather than working on the traditional standalone subject model, principal Ross Preece said. “I’m really pleased with the response from both parents and staff; it looks as though we’ll have five or six of our 10 or 11 Year 9 classes in the pilot next year.” The move into project-based learning would be a gentle one, however, with students spending between nine and 12 hours each week in pilot classrooms and the remainder in a traditional learning environment. “Yes, there were parents concerned that they were making the right choice, but at the end of the day, but were not discarding tradition. You’ll still know how your
child is achieving in standard subjects but we’ll also be reporting on what engages your child,” he said.
Project based learning was already being piloted in a number of other schools around New Zealand and the new model is simi-
lar to the learning environment students were accustomed to at intermediate and primary level, he said.
“But this is massive change, the first change in education in 100 plus years.” Parents liked the new approach to learning because it prepared their child for what would be an uncertain future in a changing workplace, Preece said. “We all acknowledge the future will be different and we can’t carry on doing the same as we have done in education for more than 100 years. “It’s served us well but schools now have to be prepared to do things differently. And parents are understanding the future will be different so schools need to change and be different too.” For teachers, the new learning environment would mean significant change, away from standing in front of a classroom to becoming a facilitator who moved between groups of students. Schools could stick with tradition in a world where the workplace was changing, but that would not serve their students well, or they could change and make learning more relevant for tomorrow’s workplace, he said. The Year 9 trial will provide a starting point for the future whole-school curriculum and the college was committed to continuing with subject integration for Year 10 students who wanted it in 2020.
Boxer dies from injuries sustained during charity match A project manager critically injured in a charity boxing match has passed away, police have confirmed. Kain Parsons, 37, passed away yesterday after being injured in a match against Steve Alfeld during the Fight for Christchurch event at Horncastle Arena on Saturday night. Parsons was not wearing headgear. Inspector Darryl Sweeney said police were previously aware of the boxing match and are “liaising with the event organisers and
officials to fully understand the circumstances surrounding his death”. “We are in contact with and extend our sympathies to Mr Parsons’ family at this difficult time,” he said. “His death and all facts surrounding it will be referred to the coroner.” Parsons’ family issued a statement through police yesterday afternoon. “The family of Kain Parsons wishes to advise that tragically
he has succumbed to the brain injury he received at the Fight for Christchurch on Saturday 3 November,” it says. “We wish to acknowledge and thank the amazing team in the ICU ward at Christchurch Hospital, the paramedics at the event, along with the many doctors, nurses and medical professionals who left their tables to quickly come to Kain’s aid. “The outpouring of heartfelt support from family, friends, colleagues and the public has been
humbling and very much appreciated. “Kain gave his life in the pursuit of raising money for those less fortunate and his enormous heart, selfless attitude and gentle giant nature will leave a void in the lives of so many. “Kain is survived by his wife and three beautiful children who will miss their family man more than words can express.” A Givealittle page dedicated to raise funds for the Parsons family has already raised more than
$30,000. It is still pending moderation by Givealittle. The news has rocked the boxing community, sparking calls for urgent safety changes. Boxing New Zealand coach John McKay earlier said the incident was a tragic turn of events and something that needs to be dealt with on a wider level. Fight for Christchurch event promoter Callam Mitchell confirmed on Monday that a detailed review had been launched. – NZME

Mount Hutt College dux named By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
CONNECT WITH OTHERS – PRINCIPAL
The year 2018 will go down as an incredible year for Alisa Ikenaga. The Mount Hutt College head girl was announced as dux at the college’s prize giving on Tuesday night. “I feel very honoured and lucky for the opportunity, and grateful for all the support from the school,” the 17-year-old said at the completion of the ceremony. A team of senior boys performed the school haka following the traditional three cheers for the dux from the packed hall at the completion of the ceremony. Alisa took home a host of other awards including the Shirley Body Trophy for arts and a prize for English. She said her favourite subject for her final year had been English. However, while she was obviously a high achiever, she admitted her study habits had not been the best throughout her time at high school. She tended to procrastinate and consequently stay up late. “Sometimes I pull all-nighters,” she added. Her plans for next year are to go to Victoria University in Wellington and study film. She hopes to ultimately get into creating, producing, directing, writing or designing behind the scenes in the film industry.

■ CHRISTCHURCH DISTRICT COURT
Mount Hutt College principal John Schreurs delivered a powerful message to students about accepting themselves and others around them. At the prize giving he finished his address touching on the five ways to wellbeing mantra promoted by mental health organisations, which is: to connect with others, give of your time, take notice of the good things in the world around you, keep learning and be active. “It’s important that we feel good about ourselves,” Schreurs said. People could not always rely on changing the behaviour of others, but they could change and have control over their own actions. “Treat other people as if they are good, treat yourself as if you are good,” Schreurs said. Schreurs also delivered news on a possible new initiative for the school next year. This was changing to a vertical group structure, and it could be trialled over Year 11, 12 and 13. This would mean each class would have a mixture of years represented. “The aim is to improve connections amongst the year groups,” Schreurs said. The potential new structure would come with a focus on relationships between teachers and students, as effective and enjoyable teaching and learning was about strong connections and relationships.

Work finally gets underway on Chinese village By Sue NewmaN
Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
It’s been a long, slow haul to seeing any action in Ashburton’s historic Chinese Village, but finally work is beginning on stage one of the restoration project. The contract, for work that will see some demolition take place and a number of buildings strengthened and made safe, has been let to Joseph Builders. An overgrown fence in front of the settlement has now been removed and the demolition of several buildings on the southern edge of the settlement is due to start shortly. The Ashburton District Council signed an agreement with families of the original settlers to care for and maintain the area and its buildings in 2013 but since then, other than the restoration of a rare oven, little work has been done on the land and buildings. The council’s Chinese Settlement working group has had the site surveyed and looked at a range of restoration options. Around $45,000 has been set aside for stage one of the work – making the site safe and demolishing buildings that were beyond repair. The scale of work required to complete the restoration, meant that original quotes received for
the project were significantly higher than expected and it has been sitting in limbo. Heritage New Zealand has now become involved in the project, acknowledging it as one of only a few post 1900 sites in New Zea-
land to have significant historic value. The council is still to decide how work beyond stage one will be funded, but with Heritage New Zealand involved, a range of new funding options may be available.
An overgrown fence is out and the work crews will soon be on site, carrying out stage one of the restoration project on Ashburton’s historic Chinese village. PHOTO SUPPLIED
■ EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
New kindy on radar for Mt Somers By Sue NewmaN
Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
Early childhood education in Mid Canterbury’s foothills area is about to ramp up a notch. While the area is served by a playcentre and other early childhood education facilities, there are no kindergartens outside Ashburton or Geraldine and the Ashburton Kindergarten Association wants to change that. A meeting will be held in Mt Somers on November 14 to
gauge interest in establishing a kindergarten in the village, and president Nadia McClelland said early indications are that interest is strong. “We moved to Mt Somers a couple of years ago and I realised there was quite a hole there in terms of early childhood education and that started me thinking. “I drive my child half an hour to Hampstead kindy and I know there are others who’re driving
from here or Methven to kindy or their children are not attending any preschool,” she said. McClelland said she had spoken to parents at Mt Somers school and in the community and believed there was sufficient interest to test the idea at a public meeting. She has been in discussions with the Ministry of Education and they are supportive. It all comes down to numbers, with 30 children being the opti-
mum. She hoped that from the meeting and surveys that would run online and through mailbox drops she could gather solid data on numbers. If the interest is there, a feasibility study will be done and then the process of establishment with the ministry will begin. McClelland anticipates that process could take all of next year and will also involve finding a site to build or a suitable building.
“It’s a long road to getting this set up but we believe in the value of the quality education kindergarten provides. It’s a non-profit organisation so all the money goes on the children and the centre,” she said. The Mt Somers kindergarten meeting will be held on November 14 at 7.30pm at Mt Somers School. More information can be found on the Ashburton Kindergarten Association website.

Textile works for competition winners By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Celebrating the glorious colours of the Ashburton Domain was an inspiring art topic for children entering this year’s Christmas card competition. The Ashburton Art Gallery had almost 150 entries. Mayor Donna Favel selected Peace in Snow by 10-year-old Harry Tabener of Ashburton as her favourite, and this will now be the official Christmas card of the Ashburton District Council for 2018. “I’m so excited to have your card, and I’m going to post it out to a lot of people, including the PM,” she told Harry at a competition announcement ceremony at the gallery this week. Harry’s design has a Christmassy feel with a dove in the domain carrying an olive branch. Ten-year-old Ava King of Christchurch was named People’s Choice award winner after her design was the most popular with art gallery visitors. Her design will feature on the gallery’s Christmas card. Entries were constructed in fabric, inspired by the work of textile artist Malcolm Harrison, who is currently exhibiting at the gallery. Right – Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel (centre) was impressed with artwork submitted for this year’s Christmas card competition.

YOUR VIEW St John land lease I am writing in response to an article published on November 5, 2018 entitled, St John Land Lease ‘Simple Solution’, in an effort to provide additional information on the subject matter. When this matter was discussed at our Finance and Business Support Committee on October 18, 2018, it was resolved that it lie on the table pending further information on the reserve status, and further discussion with the Order of St John. I have been advised that Ashburton District Council (ADC) staff have since contacted Department of Conservation (DOC) to clarify the reserve status; they have also had further discussions with Order of St John. On the matter of supporting Rural Fire Units, council did in fact provide significant funding over many years, however, these funds were a rated activity on rural ratepayers. On the suggestion of peppercorn rental lease, ADC staff have been requested to prepare a policy and report on peppercorn rentals. Council in the past has not had consistent methodology around when, how, and to whom, these have been applied to, thus the request to staff to look into the process. I trust this letter provides clarity on the various issues addressed in the article.
Please know that I am available for comment on any matter that concerns council and encourage that reporters contact me in the future prior to publication. Nga Mihi. Mayor, Donna Favel
Four-lane highway I read with interest John Skevington’s comments in Sue Newman’s front-page article in today’s Guardian (November 7). Whilst I fully agree with Mr Skevington’s comments about; traffic flows, increasing Ashburton’s commercial opportunities etc, this matter is primarily a matter of public safety. A primary responsibility of NZTA, who will be a Person Conducting a Business Activity (PCBU) as defined in the Health & Safety Act 2015 (Act). “The Act is fundamental to the wellbeing of New Zealanders”. The primary duty of PCBUs is to do “all things reasonably practical ... to protect health and safety ... of employees and others ...” Budget considerations are not a defence to not doing that. Surely, if a four-lane highway is identified as THE safest, that should be done. Any other option is a small band aid on a really big sore, at a significant cost, simply to delay the big budget safety decision. And, just how long, into the future, will the
band aid be expected to last before being replaced by the true safety option? I believe NZTAs options fall well short of their fundamental duty under the Act. Indeed, my personal view is that one option, the erection of centre line ‘temporary’ barriers, will actually be a significant step backwards for safety on that road. Simply chaos! As an aside, I was dismayed, to read that our mayor said that, to date, council have not at all considered the four-lane highway issue. Even if they do not see it as a safety issue for road users surely they should make it a strategic target for all the reasons outlined by Mr Skevington. I urge council to formally support our Member of Parliament’s own initiatives in that regard. The second bridge and State Highway1 safety matters are not mutually exclusive (ie it’s not simply one or the other) as major benefits to this district. Gary Leech
Parihaka November 5, commonly marked in New Zealand as Guy Fawkes’ Day, is an infamous day in New Zealand’s history. It was (possibly) wrong of Guy Fawkes to try to blow up the English Parliament because it was a
Protestant institution. However, November 5 is also the day when soldiers employed by Queen Victoria burnt the houses of the peaceful people at Parihaka and transported the men to prison in Dunedin. Women and children were deprived of their support and their homes. All New Zealanders need to know of this disgraceful part of our history. Jonathan Everist,
* * * *
I found it disturbing to note the glaring omission from your Today in History column of November 5. It’s true that many interesting things happened in history on that day, apparently the highlight of which was President Nixon winning the election of 1968. Surely an event that took place in Aotearoa and is thought to have inspired Gandhi might have taken out the highlight?! But not only was it not the highlight, it did not make the list at all. A list that included former president Ronald Reagan disclosing he had Alzheimer’s Disease in 1994. Gandhi used non-violent civil disobedience and led India to independence inspiring movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. It is thought that his own inspiration came from Te Whiti-o-Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi, spiritual leaders at Parihaka, the Taranaki
heart of the peaceful resistance to confiscation of Maori land. On November 5, 1881, 1600 volunteer and armed constabulary troops marched on Parihaka. Several thousand Maori sat quietly on the marae as singing children greeted the force led by Native Minister John Bryce. The Whanganui farmer ordered the arrest of Parihaka’s leaders, the destruction of much of the village and the dispersal of most of its inhabitants. Te Whiti-o-Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi were detained for 16 months without trial in Dunedin, as were hundreds of other peaceful cultivators of the land. That New Zealanders are largely unaware of our own history was made abundantly clear by your omission. I wonder how many other readers noticed it and were as shocked as I was. Maybe none. It is painful to admit and accept that many of our forebears did pretty bloody awful things, but if we can’t talk about it, worse, if we are wilfully ignorant of it, we will never heal the wounds on this land. I hope that next year we’ll see a double page spread on our own amazing and inspirational history so that all New Zealanders can appreciate and commemorate the incredible courage and the loss Maori have endured.

OUR VIEW
Getting news to you however we can W
e’ve always said here at the Ashburton Guardian that growing and becoming even better is our key focus. We’re constantly on the lookout for ways to improve and enhance our news delivery service and that attention to what’s happening around us has played a big role in our recent successes in the national news scene. Since September last year we’ve launched two new news and information sharing apps to the public. First our own – the Ashburton App which, with over 11,000 downloads, has a really strong and growing presence within the region.
Earlier this year we also introduced the Selwyn App which has been met with huge regard among those on the other side of the Rakaia River, in and around that final corridor into Christchurch. The apps have been breaking news platforms, sports results hosts and the one-stop-shop for anything you might want and
need in a region and yesterday a third app joined the platform. The Timaru App launched officially last night in Timaru after months of development by a behind the scenes team of hardworking individuals. It gives this business the ability to be able to reach anywhere from the edges of Christchurch down to the Waitaki River and further afield. As readers of the printed version of the Guardian, you’re probably not too concerned with what we are up to in the digital space – but all of a sudden our reach in terms of what we can cover and what information we can relay back to you is stronger
than it’s ever been before which will give us a real strength. One of the key notables is sport. In a day when sport coverage is at an all-time low across the Canterbury plains, the three apps are delivering daily sports coverage which isn’t choked by the restraint of having to be purely nationally interesting. It is instead all about the grass roots – the sports that really matter to everyday people. In the last couple of weeks I’ve been told the Ashburton Guardian is on its knees and won’t see it through 2019. I’ve also heard our readership is failing and that we’re losing
subscribers quicker than we can print pages. Well guess what, it’s all incorrect. This newspaper continues to grow. Latest stats from the ABC Audit figures again showed us as making a rise in readership – the only paper in the country – again and a recent readership poll conducted by Neilsen showed our daily reach is higher than it has ever been and continuing to trend up. And the Ashburton App in this district has played a huge part in that. But ultimately, it’s you, our valued readers, who we owe thanks to, you are the glue that sticks it all together.
In 2000, a statewide recount began in Florida, which emerged as critical in deciding the winner of the 2000 presidential election. Waco special counsel John C Danforth released his final report absolving the government of wrongdoing in the 1993 siege at the Branch Davidian compound in Texas. Ten years ago: Indonesia executed three Islamic militants for helping to plan and carry out the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people, many of them foreign tourists. An accident on a Russian nuclear submarine undergoing a test in the Sea of Japan asphyxiated 20 people on board.
Five years ago: Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest storms on record, slammed into the central Philippines, it left more than 7300 people dead or missing, flattened villages and displaced more than five million. One year ago: Director Ridley Scott decided to cut Kevin Spacey out of the alreadycompleted movie All the Money in the World because of the sexual misconduct allegations against Spacey and reshoot his many scenes using Christopher Plummer, just six weeks ahead of the film’s release date.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, November 8, the 312th day of 2018. There are 53 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On November 8, 2016, Republican Donald Trump was elected America’s 45th president, defeating Democrat Hillary Clinton in an astonishing victory for a celebrity businessman and political novice. On this date: In 1892, former President Grover Cleveland defeated incumbent Benjamin Harrison, becoming the first (and, to date, only) chief executive to win non-consecutive terms to the White House. In 1923, Adolf Hitler launched his first attempt at seizing power in Germany with a failed coup in Munich that came to be known as the Beer-Hall Putsch. In 1932, New York Democratic Governor Franklin D Roosevelt defeated incumbent Republican Herbert Hoover for the presidency. In 1950, during the Korean War, the first jet-plane battle took place as US Air Force Lt Russell J Brown shot down a North Korean MiG-15. In 1960, Massachusetts Sen John F Kennedy defeated Vice President Richard M Nixon for the presidency. In 1966, Edward W Brooke became the first black candidate to be elected to the US Senate by popular vote. In 1974, a federal judge in Cleveland dismissed charges against eight Ohio National Guardsmen accused of violating the civil rights of students who were killed or wounded in the 1970 Kent State shootings. In 1987, 11 people were killed when an Irish Republican Army bomb exploded as crowds gathered in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, for a ceremony honouring Britain’s war dead. In 1994, midterm elections resulted in Republicans winning a majority in the Senate while at the same time gaining control of the House for the first time in 40 years.

Infrastructure? Yes, please! C
learly, I must have only had a man’s look. How else would you explain the fact that there’s been a rail link between Sydney Airport and the Sydney CBD for about 18 years and I only discovered it this year? Following years of hailing a cab (in the pre-Uber era) or lining up for a courtesy coach, what a revelation it was to discover that a modern, smooth, fast, double-decker train could whisk me from under Sir Kingsford Smith to emerge at the Town Hall Station in just a quarter hour or so. Just across the road from my digs. I must have been so consumed on arrival of patting myself down to ensure my wallet and passport and bag were where they should be that I hadn’t noticed the very clear sign indicating TRAINS. Infrastructure. I love it. It’s what happens when people think ahead and put measures in place to deal with potential problems or situations years before those problems or situations become intolerable and unmanageable. Sometimes there’s a neverending dog’s breakfast whilst it’s being sorted. Think George Street Sydney and the impossibly drawn-out light rail installation. Think Manchester Street Christchurch. However, in the end, the desired outcome is invariably achieved. In fact, not wanting to blow too much smoke up our little
Peter Mac
PETE’S PERSPECTIVE
Ocker mates, they have even started work on another brand new, from-scratch, no-curfew International Airport out west between Penrith and the Blue Mountains, at Badgerys Creek, to cope with Sydney’s growth. Turf was broken on this megaproject just last month with an expected opening due in 2026. Shes a pretty big job. Kingsford Smith is surely bursting at the seams now and I once was delivered in an Airbus 320 from Christchurch to a lonely outpost of what appeared to be a freight shed, whereby we all disembarked down actual ‘steps’ to an awaiting bus which carted us off to customs located seemingly miles away. Needs must, whilst we sort the infrastructure. There’s that word again. Up the road locally, with Rangiora and Rolleston both experiencing huge growth, the four lane dream to Christchurch is about to become a third-realised when the much-anticipated Rolleston-north section is completed in the foreseeable future. Leaving the Ashburton to Rolleston highway to start thinking seriously about. Expensive, yes, but it is patently obvious that Ashburton is going to play
a growing role as a feeder to the magnificently re-emerging Christchurch and that stretch of road is only going to get exponentially busier. And potentially more dangerous. If you think it will cost too much money, will you still think that if your wife or husband, son or daughter, or one of your grandchildren, comes off second best traversing it? And the time to be thinking seriously about it, acquiring land, putting the pieces of the project in place, is now! I suppose we are not alone, but our New Zealand “she’ll be right” attitude often comes back to bite us on the bum. As a young fella attending block courses in Auckland during the middle 1970s, I became acutely aware of the thwarted efforts of people like then mayor, Sir Dove Myer Robinson, to get things happening on the infrastructure front. And look what happened. The supercity is desperately playing catch-up now. A queen city CBD rail link. About bloody time. There’s a rail link already in place from Rolleston into Christchurch city. And from Rangiora. The hard work is already done. Imagine a modern, fast, reliable, rail feeder from both centres starting early, from say 5am, with free on-board wi-fi, coffee, screens playing the morning news shows or whatever. With park’n’ride. I’d use it. Hell, the prospect of not taking the car
into the city unless I had some specific need to, would be hugely appealing. And the price needs to be onpoint. I’ll give you an example of great infrastructure planning and for this we need not cast our gaze too far. The Ashburton North Business Park. Seemingly ahead of its time for a year or two, it is now coming squarely into its own. You need a site to build your business, man, has Ashburton got a deal for you. Those who pushed that innovative proposal through each need a medal. We are set for years to come. They were thinking ahead of the game for a change. So refreshing. Sure, we could do some of our local infrastructure better. Sometimes it’s the relatively little things like giving David Askin the resources to have a couple more mower-riders to keep our berms and green areas ALWAYS neatly trimmed and spanking. Who pays? We all pay one way or another, eventually. Either at the start to do it properly straight-up, or down the track to fix the mess.

■ DAIRY PRICES
Dairy prices slip in global auction By Tim Cronshaw
Tim.c@Theguardian.co.nz
Dairy prices slipped again by 2 per cent at the Global Dairy Trade (GDT) event yesterday led by another fall for the key ingredient of whole milk powder. Whole milk powder dropped 2.9 per cent from the previous auction three weeks ago to $3981 ($US2655) in the sixth consecutive fall for overall prices at the November 6 auction. Skim milk powder and butter milk powder were the only commodities to lift in price. Overall, the average price was $US2851 with173 bidders contesting the 42,412 tonnes sold. NZX dairy analyst Amy Castleton said the whole milk powder price was the lowest since August 2016. “Whole milk powder offer volumes were high at this event, so prices had been expected to come down. There was a greater volume of whole milk powder sold than at the October 16 event though.’’ She said whole milk powder volumes were forecasted to peak at the November 20 auction. “The expectations of continued milk supply growth from
New Zealand will put ongoing pressure on whole milk powder prices.’’ Regular grade whole milk powder to ship in January plunged 6.4 per cent. Castleton said the event dragged out for three hours and two minutes, indicating there was some strong competition in the market. Skim milk powder prices gained 1.2 per cent at $US1997. However, NZX noted that medium heat skim milk powder to ship in January fell 1.7 per cent. This grade and contract had been expected to lift 0.7 per cent. Prices lifted strongly for skim milk powder shipping in December, indicating there are short term needs in the market to be filled. Butter milk powder rose 0.8 per cent to $US2568, but butter prices lost 1.7 per cent at $US4045. Unsalted butter to ship in January dropped 5.8 per cent. Ahead of the event, this grade of butter had been expected to fall 1.9 per cent, although there has been little trading in butter futures lately, said Castleton. Anhydrous milkfat (AMF) prices fell 1.3 per cent.
Whole milk powder prices are down to 2016 levels.

■ FONTERRA
Shareholders ‘want change’ Fonterra chairman John Monaghan says shareholders of New Zealand’s biggest company are “demanding things be different” and are prepared to back the change of leadership to make that happen. He’s expecting a big turnout to today’s annual meeting given shareholders have made their disappointment in the company’s results “very clear” to him. The meeting at Fonterra’s Lichfield plant in South Waikato comes hard on the heels of this week’s director election results, where farmers vented their frustration, ousting sitting director Ashley Waugh and voting back in outspoken former director Leonie Guiney, along with new blood, outgoing Zespri chairman Peter McBride. The ballot box protest also saw a third board vacancy left unfilled. The other three election candidates, Waugh, Maori Television chairman Jamie Tuuta and Canterbury farmer John Nicholls, failed to achieve the support of more than 50 per cent of the votes cast. A second election, open to unsuccessful candidates and fresh contenders, will be held to fill this seat. Meanwhile the board may appoint a director to the seat until the next election but cannot appoint an unsuccessful candidate. Waugh was seeking his second term. Fonterra recently posted the first net loss in its 17-year history against a backdrop of $1.5 billion of shareholder wealth destruction, troubled major capital investments in China and a stretched balance sheet. Monaghan, a long-time director who took the helm when former chairman John Wilson stepped aside for health reasons shortly after the exit of chief executive Theo Spierings, said the election results
and his own discussions with shareholders set the scene for a strong turnout today. “[Those] I’ve spoken to have been very clear in their disappointment around the results we delivered last [financial] year. But I hear that conversation starting to look forward about what we are doing as we start to talk about our portfolio review and getting back to basics and more accurate forecasting.” Fonterra leaders announced a strategic review of the $20 billion revenue business when the 2018 annual results were published. Those results, which included a net loss of $196m, would be discussed again today but Monaghan said time would also be devoted to discussing Fonterra’s future with its farmer-owners. He said work on the review was “reasonably well-progressed”. “Lines in the sand” had been drawn around targets like reducing capital spend and retaining Fonterra’s credit rating. A priority was a commitment to transparency so “it becomes part of normal business”. At Spierings’ exit, the board appointed long-serving Kiwi executive Miles Hurrell as interim chief executive and cancelled a global search for Spierings’ replacement. The board had not revisited the chief executive status issue since, and was unlikely to do so until next year, Monaghan said. “But let’s be very clear, he [Hurrell] is CEO – he’s CEO in an interim capacity. “He’s very much the CEO and is fullypowered up to do what he needs to do and he has the full support of the board. He has unanimous support to do the work that needs to happen.” - NZME

■ SHEEP NUMBERS
Growing number of beltex sheep By Tim Cronshaw
Tim.c@Theguardian.co.nz
More beltex sheep are on the ground after a good lambing season with numbers of New Zealand’s first new sheep breed in nearly a decade boosted by new embryo arrivals. Beltex New Zealand put another 150 embryos in ewes after buying them from three UK studs and half of them resulted in lambs. The beltex flock has grown from 55 purebreds last year with the addition of 120 new arrivals, born in August and September. That includes embryos taken from 23 ewe lambs as seven-month-olds, resulting in 43 new lambs. The double-muscled breed was brought in to the country last year by Beltex New Zealand, owned by former Invermay head Jock Allison, Mt Somers farmer Blair Gallagher and farm adviser John Tavendale. Allison said they were happy with the lamb results from a large embryo transfer programme after a smaller take of 37 per cent last year. He said the performance of the seven-week-old lambs was pleasing as they were putting on 350500 grams a day in bodyweight growth. The pronounced muscling of beltex bloodlines is not apparent at birth, but develops soon afterwards. “We have some more semen coming in also from a sire called Tangent. He’s in England and was the sire of the [beltex-suffolk] crossbreds that sold so well in the first sale in March.’’ At the Mt Somers sale there was almost a full clearance with $15,000 paid by Guy Martin for a suffolk-beltex cross ram lamb and another crossbred ram lamb made $12,500, while a purebred ram lamb made $12,000. The purebreds averaged $5000plus, suffolk-beltex crossbreds $3900, poll dorset-beltex crossbreds $1700 and perendale crossbreds $1200. Allison said the top prices would easily be records for crossbreds and they were still working out why the beltex-suffolk ram
New Zealand’s beltex sheep flock has grown from 55 purebreds last year with the addition of 120 new arrivals, born in August and September. PHOTO SUPPLIED lambs came close to matching the purebred beltex. “It was quite extraordinary and it made the purebreds seem very cheap. The purebreds average $5000 and the suffolk crosses averaged close to $4000.’’ Allison said a larger catalogue would be offered at the second sale on March 1 and the purebreds were expected to extend the price gap between them and the beltexsuffolk crossbreds. About 30 purebred ram lambs would be offered from 16 last year as well as more crossbreds. Allison said stud stock agents and farmers were reticent before
the first sale because they thought the short “thick and muscular’’ beltex would struggle to mate bigger ewes and lambing difficulties would result, but this was unfounded. “The people who bought the purebred ram lambs are very pleased and some of them have 100 progeny and some have 200 progeny.’’ The ram lambs were seven to eight months old when they were introduced to the ewes for the first time. “There were no lambing difficulties at all and that is the situation in the UK, but no one be-
lieved us of course. At Blair’s farm we mated four purebred beltex to 230 perendales and cheviots and they got 85 per cent in the first 17-18 days so they are not having too much trouble mating and the lambs are belters really.’’ He said four purebred lambs slaughtered at Silver Fern Farm’s Pareora site yielded 57 per cent liveweight to deadweight and when boned out produced 80 per cent meat. Another 300 semen straws from the purebred sire Tangent should further boost numbers with some of them to go to the partnership’s stud, some for the halfbred pro-
gramme and other straws to be sold. Allison said they were working to make the breed larger as some of the beltex were short in the neck and this would be assisted by Tangent – a “big, long, very well-muscled ram’’. Crossbred numbers were expected to be similar to last year at 50-60 and some beltex threequarters were from some of the halfbred ewe lambs mated back to beltex. Allison said the lambing performance of purebreds in the UK was on par with the imported texels in the early 1990s when they first arrived.

■ HELL PIZZA
Fireworks off Hell’s menu Popular pizza chain Hell has taken pyrotechnics off the menu, despite the pizza-firework combos being a top seller, following calls for social responsibility. The franchise chain which operates 73 stores around the country has been selling its “Hellfire” pizza, which comes with a side of fireworks, in the lead-up to and on Guy Fawke’s Night for the past five years. Hell pizza general manager Ben Cumming said the flaming deal was introduced to offer the whole night’s entertainment. “We were the first company, and only company, to deliver fireworks to people’s houses,” Cumming said. “We know it has created a lot of enjoyment but this year we have listened to a lot more negative feedback from the public with really legitimate concerns, mainly around safety of animals and antisocial behaviour, so balancing all of that in light of the feedback we feel it is the right thing to do and move on.”
People using fireworks irresponsibly and the distress they can cause for horses and other pets was the determining factor to take them off the menu. “There’s always been that risk with fireworks and we’ve always had a bit of feedback about it but it does seem to be growing a lot. We’ve decided we can’t ignore it, we have to listen to our customers
and what people want from our company.” The Hellfire combos were extremely popular and contributed significantly to its week of sales for the period. For the past consecutive three years the fireworks week has been a record sales week for the company, including the one that it just had, Cummings said.
“It is a significant revenue boost which obviously we’ll miss but we’re balancing it up with the general mood of the public.” Cummings would not say how much Hell spent on fireworks each year but said it was significant and franchisees did really well out of it. “We were a little bit surprised at how easy it was to get into the
market,” he said. “It was good for our brand for a period of time but we had to balance it all up. We don’t want to be losing customers to people who feel so negatively about fireworks that they’re actually not willing to buy food from you.” Hell also received a lot of good feedback during firework season, he said. The pizza franchise plans to introduce other retail-food mix offerings next year. “Fireworks was our main foray into retail products that we have entered into. “Typically in the past we have stuck to food although with a little bit of merchandise as well, Tshirts and the like,” he said. “We’re lucky at Hell that we have a brand that lends itself to different types of product, it doesn’t have to be just food so we will continue to explore that ... we’re certainly not closed off to having different diversification of products outside of food.” - NZME

■ UNEMPLOYMENT
Unemployment rate tumbles The unemployment rate has fallen more sharply than expected, to 3.9 per cent in the September 2018 quarter, Stats NZ says. That’s down from 4.4 per cent last quarter – and is the lowest unemployment rate since the start of the global financial crisis – the June 2008 quarter, when it was 3.8 per cent. The fall in the unemployment rate in the latest quarter reflects a fall in the number of unemployed people (down 13,000) and a strong rise in employment (up 29,000). This quarter’s employment rate rose to 68.3 per cent, the highest rate since the series began more than 30 years ago. However, despite the strong numbers wage growth has remained subdued. In the latest quarter, 109,000 people were unemployed – 13,000 (10.5 per cent) fewer than in the
June 2018 quarter, with 8000 fewer women and 5000 fewer men. For both sexes, this mainly reflected 11,000 fewer unemployed youth (15 to 24-year-olds). There were 6000 fewer youth unemployed and not in education, which led to the not in employment, education or training (NEET) rate falling to 10.1 per cent. The fall in NEET youth was primarily influenced by men and women aged 20 to 24 years. “While this quarter’s unemployment rate is outside market expectations, we know New Zealand has a small economy with a dynamic labour market and large changes, both up and down, have happened before,” labour market and household statistics senior manager Jason Attewell said. But while employment growth was strong – wage growth has re-
mained relatively subdued. ASB chief economist Nick Tuffley described wage growth as “modest”. “Supported by the second round of the $2b healthcare worker settlement, private sector wages from the Labour Cost Index rose 0.5 per cent in the quarter, he said. “Annual private sector wage inflation eased from six-year highs to 1.9 per cent. Wage inflation from the public sector was a more tepid 0.4 per cent.” These regions had significant employment growth: Auckland – up 34,600 (3.8 per cent) Waikato – up 8400 (3.3 per cent) Otago – up 6700 (5.5 per cent) Gisborne/Hawke’s Bay – up 6400 (6.5 per cent) Taranaki – up 4300 (7.1 per cent). - NZME

■ UNITED STATES
Republicans retain Senate Republicans retained control of the Senate, ousting Democratic incumbents in Indiana and North Dakota and handing President Donald Trump a triumph by ensuring they will remain as guardians of his conservative agenda for two more years. Despite Trump’s deeply polarising effect on voters, the GOP harnessed his rock-solid popularity with hard-right voters in rural, deep-red states. They held onto seats in the South, Midwest and West and ensured at least a 50-50 Senate – enough to give Republicans control because Vice President Mike Pence as president of the Senate would tip the balance to the GOP. The GOP Senate victory was magnified because Democrats stood a solid chance of wresting control of the House from Republicans. That would give the Senate the role of blocking Housepassed Democratic initiatives on everything from health care to the potential repeal of tax cuts on the wealthy that the GOP enacted last year. It would also leave the Senate as the showcase for the GOP’s goals of tax and spending cuts, trade, immigration restrictions, curbs on Obama’s health care law and judicial nominations. Republicans entered the night commanding the Senate only narrowly, 51-49. The night’s news wasn’t completely disastrous for Democrats. Democratic Sen Joe Manchin was re-elected in West Virginia, a state Trump captured by 42

Democratic incumbents also prevailed in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Midwestern states that Trump carried narrowly two years ago. Overall, Democrats were defending seats in 10 states that Trump took in 2016, including five he won by at least a huge 19 percentage points. These midterm elections were among the most bitter in years. Democrats’ longshot prospects for capturing a Senate majority were pinned on expectations that their supporters, roused by revulsion toward Trump, would surge to the polls. Fuelling their intensity have been Trump’s anti-immigration rhetoric and policies, his efforts to dismantle health care protections enacted under President Barack Obama and the #MeToo movement’s
fury over sexual harassment. “Ever since President Trump has been in office, it has just been not the country that I am used to or that I thought I would be in,” said Sarah Roth, 22, a Democratic voter from Minnetonka, Minnesota. Democrats also had history on their side: 2002 was the only midterm election in the past three decades when the party holding the White House gained Senate seats. Republicans were banking on those dynamics being offset by a vibrant economy and by a president whose insult-laden approach to political discourse was as stirring for conservative voters as it was infuriating to liberals. Trump’s racially tinged anti-immigrant rhetoric, while unpopular among collegeeducated urban and suburban voters, seemed helpful in deeply conservative areas.

With so much at stake, Trump campaigned in over a dozen states with Senate elections since Labour Day, visiting some multiple times. He himself has characterized the election as a referendum on his presidency. GOP hopes of gaining a seat from New Jersey were dashed when Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez won a third Senate term. Menendez won in the heavily Democratic state despite a federal bribery indictment that prosecutors dropped this year after a mistrial. Amid the recent rash of letter bombs and the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre, Trump issued alarming and often unfounded warnings about caravans of migrants crossing Mexico toward the U.S., blaming Democrats, without evidence, for the threat he claimed they pose. – AP
Italy may come to Pakistani woman’s aid Italy has said it is working to help relocate the family of a Pakistani Christian woman acquitted eight years after being sentenced to death for blasphemy, amid warnings from her husband that the family’s life is in danger in Pakistan. Italy’s Foreign Ministry said it was co-ordinating with other countries to ensure safety for Asia Bibi and her family. In a statement, the minis-
try said it was ready to act on whatever the Italian government might decide – an indication that an offer of asylum might be in the offing. A lawmaker in German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative party has also called for Germany to grant Bibi refuge, after her husband Ashiq Masih appealed for help from the West to relocate the family.
Bibi was convicted in 2010 of insulting Islam’s prophet, but Pakistan’s top court acquitted her last week. Protests by hardline Islamists prompted the government to impose a travel ban on Bibi until her case is reviewed. Bibi’s case has been closely followed in Italy for years, and Pope Francis met earlier this year with her family in a show of solidarity.
Even Italy’s hardline, antimigrant interior minister Matteo Salvini stressed that he would do “all that is humanly possible” to ensure Bibi and her family are safe, either in Italy or some other country. Salvini distinguished between Bibi and the tens of thousands of migrants who try to seek out a better life in Italy via smugglers’ boats from Libya. – AP
Shrek and Puss in Boots are getting rebooted and Chris Meledandri, the man behind Despicable Me, is overseeing their revival. Universal Pictures has tasked Meledandri with finding some fresh story lines to reintroduce the lovable ogre and the sword-wielding feline to new generations of moviegoers. One thing the animation guru doesn’t want to mess with is with the vocal performances. Part of the popularity of Shrek is attributable to a voice cast that included Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas, and Meledandri says he would like to get the band back together.
Billboard’s woman of 2018 The music industry is honouring Ariana Grande. Billboard named the 25-year-old award-winning singer its 2018 Woman of the Year. Grande will receive the award at Billboard’s 13th annual Women in Music event on December 6 in New York City. Previous recipients include Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Madonna and Selena Gomez. In the past year, Grande has had Top 40 hits including No Tears Left To Cry, Breathin’ and God Is A Woman. She helped organise the One Love Manchester concert last year, raising more than $23 million for victims of the Manchester bombing.

2018’s sexiest man
Six held over Macron attack plot
People magazine has named Idris Elba as 2018’s Sexiest Man Alive, and the British actor says the honour has given him a boost of self-confidence. Elba, who starred in The Wire and Luther, was surprised after being crowned this year’s winner, the magazine said. “I was like, ‘Come on, no way. Really?’” he told the magazine. “Looked in the mirror, I checked myself out. I was like, ‘Yeah, you are kind of sexy today.’ But to be honest, it was just a nice feeling. It was a nice surprise — an ego boost for sure.” Elba’s selection was revealed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” with the actor appearing via satellite from London.
French security agents have arrested six people on preliminary terrorism charges for allegedly plotting to attack French President Emmanuel Macron, a judicial official has said. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said intelligence agents detained the six in three widely scattered regions,
including the Alps, Brittany and near the Belgian border. He said the plan to target the French president appeared to be vague and unfinalised, but violent. Authorities released no further details about the six suspects and did not say if they were suspected of working together or separately.
French presidents have been targeted several times over the decades, including in 2002 when a far-right sympathiser tried to attack then president Jacques Chirac on the ChampsElysees Avenue in Paris during Bastille Day celebrations. Macron was in the northeast French city of Verdun this week as part of centenary commem-
orations for the end of World War One. The suspected plot was uncovered days before US President Donald Trump and dozens of other world leaders are due in France this weekend for the 100-year anniversary of the signing of the November 11 armistice that ended World War One. AP

Wakanui WI The October meeting of the Wakanui WI was held in the Sinclair Centre and was opened by President Jenette Storrier. Motto for the month was – No man ever had an ordinary cold! Not surprisingly all members agreed! A large quantity of food for the Salvation Army Food Bank was donated by members for the Roll Call. The display of a hand-held mirror showed some old treasures as well as more modern examples. President Jenette thanked all who had helped and supplied food at the recent ½ Yearly Meeting with special thanks to Isabell Page who had been the organiser. The remaining food had been sold with the proceeds going to the Snowball Raffle. Final arrangements were made for the Bay and Tray at the A & P Show and Bernice Laird and Dianne Carter were to demonstrate their handcrafts in the WI area. Members responded to a request for baking for the Age Concern Ashburton 206 Club with a good supply being handed in at the meeting. Speaker for the afternoon was Dot Webb from the Friends of the Ashburton Hospital who gave us an insight into the service being given to patients who often have no contacts locally. At present 48 Volunteers give their time to read, talk, serve morning teas and a library service to make their hospital stay more enjoyable. Members also donated toiletries and personal care items to the Friends of the Hospital. Christmas meeting will be lunch in Methven on November 21 followed by a visit to the Methven Fete.
Beginner picks up first tournament title
■ CRICKET
Kiwis smash over record A cricketing world record has fallen in Hamilton this afternoon, with the Northern Districts duo of Joe Carter and Brett Hampton smashing 43 from an over bowled by Central Districts youngster Willem Ludick in the domestic oneday Ford Trophy competition. Forty-three runs is believed to be the most to have ever been taken from an over in “List A” (one-day) cricket. Cricinfo’s records note that the previous record for most runs in an over came from
Zimbabwe’s Elton Chigumbura, who took 39 from an over back in 2013. Hampton started the onslaught with a four, followed by two legside sixes as Ludick bowled two waist-high no balls. A further six followed down the ground, before a single put Carter on strike. Carter than plundered the last three balls of the elongated over for six through midwicket, bringing up 43 runs from the over – six sixes, a four,
a single and two no-balls – and ravishing Ludick’s figures from the acceptable 9-0-42-1 to the grim 10-0-85-1. The Bay of Plenty pair of Hampton and Carter combined to add 178 for the sixth wicket after linking up at 95-5. Hampton eventually was dismissed for 95 from 66 balls, while Carter went on to finish unbeaten on 102 from 77 balls, his maiden one-day century, as ND finished on 313-7. The partnership was also a Northern Districts record for
the sixth wicket against Central Districts, breaking the previous mark of 150, set between BJ Watling and Peter McGlashan in 2011. New Zealand also holds the record for most runs coming from an over in all formats of cricket, with 77 runs coming off a Bert Vance over in fourday cricket in 1990, after Vance purposely bowled repeated no-balls in an attempt to give the opposition an incentive to chase a seemingly difficult total. - NZME

According to reports in Spain, authorities found a total of just £5.24 ($NZ10.28) in Ronaldinho’s bank accounts. As reported by Spanish newspaper Marca, Ronaldinho and his brother Roberto Assis were fined for illegal construction in a protected area. Despite reportedly mortgaging their property, it is said they haven’t been able to pay off the debt because of high interest. - NZME

■ TOUCH RUGBY
Allenton competition attracts 20 teams Ben Roddick attempts to get around the opposition during the opening night of the new Allenton Rugby Club touch sevens competition. Held on a Friday night at the Allenton club on Melrose Road, the new competition has attracted 20 teams and caters to three different grades – kids, mixed and men’s. The competition started last week and will run for seven weeks. It is about offering people another healthy exercise option, as well as boosting numbers and raising the profile of the Allenton club, a club that hasn’t fielded a senior rugby team for a number of years but has hopes of one day again fielding teams across all rugby age groups. There was no charge to submit a team in the new touch sevens competition.

The player coaches can’t stand By GreGor Paul in london Playing against former Hurricanes captain Brad Shields in a test match this weekend will carry a novelty factor for a few All Blacks who know him well. It was a while ago now, but Shields was in the New Zealand Under-20 team that won the 2011 Junior World Championship alongside the likes of Codie Taylor, Brodie Retallick, Sam Cane, TJ Perenara and Beauden Barrett. Together they chased the dream of graduating to the All Blacks and a staggering 13 of the 22 who were involved in the final have indeed played for New Zealand. But Shields isn’t one of them. Respected and admired by his peers, he just couldn’t do quite enough to persuade the All Blacks selectors he was the right choice. He came close. As assistant All Blacks coach Ian Foster confirmed, Shields was frequently in their conversations between 2012 and 2017 but never for quite long enough. Until this time last year when he would have been called up to captain the mid-week side to play a French XV in Lyon, and
Brad Shields . . . playing in white, not black. possibly then won a full cap given Kieran Read was injured for the final test of the year. Would have been but for the fact the selectors asked him about his long-term plans and when he said he was intending to sign with Wasps in England, that was it. The call-up was off and instead Luke Whitelock, another of his Under-20 teammates, took his place in France. His fellow professionals have long made peace with Shields’ decision to commit to his parents’ homeland, if indeed they ever had to reconcile it at all. To those who had served in the trenches alongside Shields it was an understandable move – one
driven by opportunity. There were no grudges, no funny looks or sense of betrayal. Shields had set his sights on being an All Black, given it seven good years but when it became apparent the big break wasn’t going to come, not one of his former Under-20 teammates disagreed with his right to change course and win his first cap with England last June. To them, the decision was pragmatic more than anything else, as the driver for Shields was to play international rugby as to distinctly be an All Black. But while his old chums, after they have tried to take his head off on the pitch, will greet Shields as a long-lost brother off it, the bonhomie and goodwill won’t extend to the All Blacks’ coaching box. The view from in there about Shields’ decision to play for England is not so relaxed or forgiving. To them there is not so much a sense of betrayal, more a feeling of lost integrity. Coaches don’t agree that players can chase the generic dream of playing test football and worry about the specifics of which country after the fact. Test rugby demands every-
thing from the players – the last little, tiny piece of their soul has to be connected to the jersey. International coaches will say there has to be this sense within the individual that they respect and acknowledge the struggle it takes to fulfil a dream. It has to be all or nothing and so to see someone chase an All Blacks cap for 27 years and then take barely three months before they are playing for another country is not, in this coaching panel’s view, a credible pathway. It lacks integrity – screams that Shields has opted for his second choice and in the process cast doubt on how determined he was to play for the All Blacks if he can so easily and readily commit to England. While a touch sanctimonious, the All Blacks coaches give the impression that New Zealanders should preserve the sanctity of their ambition with a dignified refusal to play for any other country no matter their right to do so. Rejection is not a reason to switch allegiance and while the All Blacks coaching panel don’t wish him ill, they don’t hold Shields in anywhere near the same respect as his peers do. - NZME
John Sutton is expected to remain at South Sydney next NRL season with his management insisting they’re confident of getting a deal over the line. Sutton is one of a number of high-calibre players still uncontracted for 2019 despite many clubs this week returning to pre-season training. Sutton, Cameron Smith and Jarryd Hayne headline a list of players who were not featured on their club’s top 30 list when they were published last week. - AAP
Meninga ‘helping’ Incoming Gold Coast staffer Mal Meninga says it’s not in his makeup to intrude on head coach Garth Brennan’s turf, even if things start going awry when the pair work together next season. The Kangaroos coach will work as the Titans’ head of performance and culture for the next three years in an appointment the club hopes will consolidate them in the NRL landscape. Brennan had the optional third year of his contract triggered in the off-season, effectively securing his position at the club for at least two more campaigns. - NZME
Marsh bullish Shaun Marsh is bullish about overcoming injury to bolster Australia’s struggling batting line-up in tomorrow’s one-day international against South Africa. Marsh missed Australia’s heavy loss in the Perth series opener because of an abscess on his buttock. “He is pretty positive that he’ll be right for Friday,” Australia’s vice-captain Alex Carey told reporters. “So for SOS (Marsh) to come in at three and probably play a bit of an anchor role around some of those top order explosive players ... it’s a little bit of stability up the top, hopefully.” - AAP

Coaching the coaches By Erin TaskEr
Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz
Netball and teaching have both played a big part in Claire Tappin’s life, and now she’s landed a job which combines the two just nicely. Tappin is the new Mid Canterbury Netball coach developer, a part-time position which was previously absorbed by Mid Canterbury Netball’s netball development officer, but had become a standalone position thanks to some extra funding. And Tappin is looking forward to really getting her teeth into it and finding out how she could best help Mid Canterbury’s netball coaches. “My job is to grow and sustain coaching numbers for Mid Canterbury Netball, so pretty much finding out what our coaches need and want, and co-ordinating and delivering it,” Tappin said. As a teacher, a former netballer who played to a high level growing up in the United Kingdom, and a coach herself, it is a role that is pretty much perfect for her. “This is a role that I was kind of doing when I left the UK 20 years ago, I was delivering sessions to coaches within the UK,” Tappin said. This new role would see her working with coaches from Year
7 and 8 teams right through to premier level coaches. Mid Canterbury Netball already had 30 coaches on the Netball New Zealand coaching pathway after attending official modules, with half a dozen actively working towards qualifications and another half a dozen ready to take that step.
“
Tactix squad member Kate Lloyd in to take part. The next weekend, on December 8 and 9, would include a session with Ashburton’s Andrea Cousins on player centred coaching. Cousins was the assistant coach of this year’s Mainland team in the Beko Netball League,
I actually think I get even more of a buzz from coaching coaches rather than players, because you give them the why behind things
Historically though, the Mid Canterbury Netball Centre had a low uptake when it came to attending courses, so Tappin said it was important she looked at things differently, rather than just her or Mainland Netball’s Deb Johnson delivering modules. Tappin had put together her first two sessions for coaches, and the first is set to take place this weekend. It is all about shooting and she’s brought former Silver Fern shooter Angela Mitchell and current Canterbury
and her club team won the Christchurch premier grade. Tappin herself had pretty good credentials too, though, as one of three coach developers from Mainland Netball invited to a Sport Canterbury regional training day recently. She also used to be Ashburton College’s specialist classroom teacher, which she said was the educational equivalent of a coach developer, and two years ago she attended a week-long national conference to develop her skills in that role. As a player, Tappin was a for-
midable defender and a key player in the United A premier team for many years after moving to New Zealand 20 years ago. Now, she is the coach of that team. Tappin played netball from a young age back in the UK and played for the England schools’ team. As a defender, she knew the defence end of the court pretty much inside out, but when it came to things like shooting, there were things she could learn. It was a similar story with most coaches – every coach had something they could learn, and Tappin’s job was to find out what coaches wanted and make it happen. “I actually think I get even more of a buzz from coaching coaches rather than players, because you give them the why behind things, the why you’re doing things and why it’s working,” Tappin said. Coaching the coaches had a flow-on effect to players, which meant when you helped a coach grow you were helping the players to grow, too. Tappin said in her role it was important she continued to coach too, so would be back with United A next season, and hopefully back for a second season coaching Mid Canterbury’s seniors.
England front-rower George Burgess was yesterday suspended for four matches after being found guilty of an eye-gouging charge against Kiwis captain Dallin Watene-Zelezniak. The 26-year-old forward was found guilty of behaviour contrary to the true spirit of the game by an international disciplinary panel following the incident which occurred during England’s win over the Kiwis in the second test in Liverpool on Monday. The South Sydney forward was also fined £500 ($981) and the suspension will rule him out of the third test at Elland Road next Monday (NZT). The remainder of his ban will be served over the opening three rounds of the 2019 NRL season. Burgess’ suspension comes despite the incident going unpunished by referee Gerard Sutton at the time during the second-half of the match at Anfield. Play was delayed while WateneZelezniak received treatment from the Kiwis medical staff with Burgess among the England defenders that tackled him to the ground. Burgess took to social media insisting he did not intentionally rake at Watene-Zelezniak’s eyes. “I want to make it completely clear to everyone that it was never my intention to ever gauge (sic) anyone,” Burgess posted on Twitter. “It is not in my makeup as a rugby league player and never has been. I sincerely apologise to anyone who thinks bad of me after seeing the footage.” Following the match, WateneZelezniak confirmed the fingers of Burgess had dug into his eye but brushed the incident off. “I felt a finger go in my eye,” Watene-Zelezniak said. “That’s football. Lucky the doctor was there to give me something. It was a bit blurry after that. Whatever he gave me it helped a lot. “That’s international football. I’m a tough boy, I’m an adult, I’m a man so I can take those kinds of things but what I can’t take is a loss.” The 23-year-old Penrith fullback was unsure if Burgess’ act was intentional. “I have no idea I’d have to watch the video back. He’s a big boy and he’s got some big fingers too. I think his whole hand would probably cover my whole face. “I’m sure he didn’t do it on purpose him and his brothers are good guys and they’ve done really good things for the game. I don’t think that’s in their kit bag but it is what it is you just have to deal with it. “I’m pretty sweet now. The doctor gave me some kind of eye drops. I’m sure it was accidental. It didn’t really mess with the game much but that’s football.” - NZME

In brief Bowman suspended Leading jockey Hugh Bowman, the regular rider of Winx, has been suspended for a month for three separate offences when riding Melbourne Cup runnerup Marmelo on Tuesday. Hugh Bowman was found guilty of three transgressions: careless riding for allowing his horse to cause interference to Japanese runner Chestnut Coat; using the whip 12 times before the final 100 metres of the race when the limit is five; and being a kilo over his assigned weight limit. Bowman pleaded guilty to all the changes, but would consider an appeal against the severity of the ban, as he was due to ride in the Japan Cup on November 25. - NZME

■ OBITUARY
A real character passes away Everyone has a Dougie McCormick story that they could tell. Some of them might not be able to be told for fear of retribution, but there’s always been some brilliant tales around about the Mid Canterbury harness racing legend who sadly passed away last week. A large crowd of racing identities gathered in Ashburton to bid farewell to one of the most colourful and memorable characters of the race tracks of Canterbury in the past 60 years following his passing during the middle of last week. Survived by his wife, Shirley, McCormick was 88. And while a sad occasion, the opportunity to tell some of Doug’s more infamous exploits was the main topic of conversation at

his funeral and many a person was seen holding aching sides as memories were shared. A well-respected stockman and gifted handler of a horse, McCormick trained close to 100 winners in a training career which began in the early 60’s right through until he retired from training a few years ago. During that time, he also reined home close to 100 winners as well. Best known for his ability to get a horse to run along early, McCormick could often be found in front when competing in races and the late Derek Jones once described his driving style perfectly. “He was either in front, or heading there,” Jones said. A number of good horses made their way through McCormick’s
barn during his career – most of which he had bred himself. Lively Wood and Able Adios both won seven races each early on in proceedings before Charlie Wood arrived and won seven races as well. Regarded by family members, and by Doug himself, as the best horse he had, the dual-gaited horse had 89 starts, winning seven and placing on 17 occasions. Perfect Du Jour joined a growing list of horses to win seven races for Doug and Gee Abby, who set a New Zealand record, managed the same feat in the late 90’s. Others to win a number of races including Cathy Combo (four), Pretty Near Perfect (four), Light Wood (five) and Vince (four). As well as racing, McCormick
bred a number of horses initially to his own stallions which he had on his property at Westerfield, inland from Tinwald. Most of the horses carried either the ‘Perfect’ or ‘Wood’ monikers which carried through the decades. McCormick had one of his most memorable nights in racing at Forbury in 2009 when three generations of his family competed in the same race on horses all trained by him. Doug was on board Perfect For Us, his son David drove Shezadorabil and grandson, Lawrence piloted Cathy Combo with the latter pairing winning the race. Both David and Lawrence are still heavily involved in the industry and training small teams from their respective Ashburton bases.
A Proper Lady broke her maiden when successful in the City 1200 at Avondale yesterday. The Brendan and Jo Lindsay-owned filly was having her third start off the back of a runner-up finish at Tauranga last month. “She’s just taken a little bit to learn, her first start she over raced and her second start she led again which wasn’t ideal but we drew awkwardly,” trainer Lance Noble said. “Today we were able to get her in behind and it was nice to see her win one, she still looks a bit green up the straight so she still has a bit to learn. Noble was also pleased with the debut performance of stablemate Dance Card, also owned by the Lindsays, who finished on strongly for fourth. - NZTM

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The end of this quest will be the start of the next one. In this light, there’s really no reason to rush to the finish. In fact, you’d do well to slow down so you can absorb the lessons in this stretch of the road. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): No one seems to want to say, “I don’t know” today, least of all the clueless. Show up sponge-like. It really is possible to learn through osmosis if you’re open enough. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): When we were children, more seemed possible. We had yet to learn the limits, so it seemed that what we’d later call “magic” was just another way that things might happen. Return to that mind today? CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Honour your flaws. You wouldn’t be you without them. Besides, you’re not going to live with them forever. Some are dropping by the wayside as you read this. You may as well appreciate them while you’re waving goodbye. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Someone is helping you behind the scenes. You can feel the good will even if you don’t know who it is. You may never know the secret angels who are on your side, which speaks to the purity of their generosity. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Give someone you love a little breathing room, but you can’t help but check back perpetually, as it seems written in your love clause. “I tried to throw a yo-yo away; it was impossible.” – Mitch Hedberg LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): They say you can’t go back, it’s never the same when you do. If you physically return, you’ll find the old place has been updated or ravaged by time. Go back in your mind instead and it’s just as you left it. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Historians rarely agree and can theorise endlessly about how things really happened. You’ll be in a similar quandary, with evidence that adds into quite a different story than the one being told to you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Stars smile and wink at you as if to sanction your more daring (possibly selfish?) choices. Then again, why shouldn’t your own fun be a priority? CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Owning is overrated. What you own, you have to find a place for, organise, maintain... and it’s a bit much when all you want to do is move around the world unfettered. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The information you’re given is incomplete. Ask for more. What’s the plan? What’s the reason? What’s the backstory? The more you know, the more powerful you’ll be in the situation. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Your work hasn’t received the deserved accolades. This might take time. What you’ve accomplished will stand the test of time. If you need acknowledgement sooner, just draw more attention to what you’ve done.

A season in which a team only won two games probably wouldn’t be viewed as a success in some people’s eyes. But for the Hampstead Rugby Club, those two wins and a number of narrow losses meant the 2018 season was actually one of their best in recent years, and now they were determined to build on it. So on Saturday, a month earlier than they’d initially planned to start, the Hampstead senior rugby squad came together for the first of their pre-season training sessions, a good four months before the season is actually set to start. Coaches Shaun Bovey and Craig Dwyer didn’t know what to expect, but they were pleasantly surprised when almost 30 players
turned up ready to get to work. “We were nervous about how many players would actually turn up, and to have 26, we were absolutely blown away,” Bovey said. “The proof will be in the pudding, but based on what we had on Saturday, we had a group of guys from last year and a couple of new guys that we lost to other clubs last year come along. So we are very happy.” The 2018 season was Bovey and Dwyer’s first in charge of the Hampstead seniors and they knew they had their work cut out for them. It had been nine years since the Hampstead seniors had won a game in the local senior competition, the Watters Cup, and for the past few years they’d finished down in the bottom couple of spots in the Combined Country
Cup, picking up the odd win here and there. “If you look at the year before (2016), they would go away and not even have a complete team to go away with,” Bovey said. But with new coaches and a new mindset, the tide started to turn. As the 2018 season built, so did Hampstead. They ended up winning two games in the Luisetti Combined Competition, and only lost to both Rakaia and Methven in the 80th minute in the Watters Cup round robin. “Next season we’d look to be definitely in the top half of the Luisetti, which we think is very possible. If we had beaten Rolleston and Ashley that would have pushed us up the table this season,” Bovey said. “And for the Watters Cup, we want to get to the play-offs footy,
and maybe the final.” Both were realistic goals given the progress the club has made in the past year, Bovey said. After years of losing, the side had been struggling to hold on to players, and when rumours started swirling that some of their key players had been approached by other clubs for 2019 already, Bovey said they decided they needed to get back out on the field and start the build up to next season now. “It’s up to us to create an environment that they don’t want to leave.” A couple of the players who turned up on Saturday were new to the district, and Bovey said they were aware of people who weren’t able to make it to the first session, but who were keen to play. Bovey didn’t want to give too
Four-match suspension for English eye-gouger
much away but said he and Dwyer already had a couple of positional changes in mind for 2019, which would make their already formidable forward pack an even more daunting challenge. “All we have got to do is get the discipline right and the wins will start coming.” While the 2018 season may have been a step in the right direction for the Hampstead seniors, it wasn’t such a great season for the club’s senior Bs, who had to pull out mid-season due to a lack of numbers. But the club was determined to get a senior B team out on the field again next season and was currently on the hunt for coaches. “We need a B team, we need a feeder team for the A team, and the club fully intends to have a B team,” Bovey said.
