Mid Canterbury businesses are set to benefit from additional financial support from ACC to support safer working environments. The new initiative, announced by ACC minister Iain Lees-Galloway, will see $22 million worth of funding rolled out across the nation over the next five years in the form of subsidies and grants. The subsidies are for services that are known to improve workplace safety, and grants to provide funding for organisations to help solve workplace health and safety problems that affect multiple businesses in an industry or supply chain.

the funding is Ag-serve. Director Cheryl Ann Smith says the increased funding will definitely be a positive for businesses. “All our policies are compliant and all our staff have attended courses but this would certainly help as it is not cheap,” she said. “We also have an outside compliance person that comes in to ensure everything is okay as well.” Smith said while their staff are fully equipped to work safely and meet every morning, some people coming on to a business site are more reckless with health and safety. “We do get people that come in and ignore the signs we have out and just wander around the place without com-

■ HORROR CHRISTCHURCH CRASH
‘Ball of fire’: Three teens die in crash Three teens died in a Christchurch crash after fleeing police – and officers needed medical treatment after attempting to rescue them from the burning vehicle. It has also been confirmed the teens were in a car stolen earlier that night and that the vehicle crashed into a tree, dislodging the fuel tank, which then ruptured and erupted into a “ball of fire”. Canterbury district commander Superintendent John Price told a press conference yesterday that the vehicle had run over road spikes and then crashed into a tree, bursting into flames. “This is absolutely a tragedy,” he said. The stolen car was travelling in excess of 130km/h through city streets before road spikes were laid and the crash occurred. Prior to the crash, the car had been involved in a pursuit with police for about one minute, Price said. The officers identified the driving as “dangerous” and categorised the vehicle as a “serious risk to the public and took that into account” before laying the road spikes. The first officers at the crash scene needed medical treatment after trying to free the trio from the burning car. “They attempted to rescue the driver and the passengers from the vehicle, but sadly this was not possible due to the intense heat and fire.” Price, who visited the scene on Sunday night, said a disaster victim identification team would now go through the process of formally identifying the people in the car. He had spoken to the officers involved and said they were “absolutely devastated about what happened”. “I can say these officers did not come to work to do anything other than to keep our community safe.” Price said incidents like the crash were “always changing, dynamic and happening fast”. Price urged motorists who were being followed by police to stop, rather than speed off.

Three teens were killed when their car struck this tree. Nearby resident Ruth Maxwell told Newstalk ZB she missed the crash by seconds. “[There was] a loud whooshing sound ... [I] looked out the window and saw the flames, couldn’t see much but a ball of fire. No one got out of the car.” The car was stolen and the three killed were the driver, 16, and two boys aged 13, Stuff reported. Police arrived soon after and quickly put up tents, she said. The vehicle was seen speeding about 11.13pm in the CBD, Price said. Police began a pursuit but it was abandoned “very quickly due to the manner of driving by the offending vehicle”. “It is believed the car has continued to drive at speed on Blenheim Road,” Price said.
Police laid spikes in an attempt to stop the vehicle. The vehicle hit the spikes and crashed into a tree on Blenheim Road outside a group of shops, catching fire. “Police officers immediately went to help those in the vehicle. However, tragically all three occupants died at the scene,” Price said. The fatal crash following a police pursuit was the third in Christchurch in less than two months. Alexia Noble-Hazelwood, 18, was killed when the car she was in smashed into a school building on Gloucester Street, late on November 16, a Friday night. The car had earlier been involved in a police pursuit which was abandoned just minutes be-
fore the crash. In the early hours of Wednesday, December 5, driver Dennis Tunnicliffe, 25, and passenger Renee Percy, 35, a pregnant Christchurch mother, were killed after Tunnicliffe sped away from police before crashing into a power pole on Breezes Road. Police followed the car after Tunnicliffe fled but abandoned the chase after less than a minute due to the “dangerous nature of the driving”. Price said Sunday night’s triple-fatal crash was “the last thing police want to see”. “We now have families who have lost their love ones and our thoughts are with them during this difficult time. “We are currently working to notify and support their next of
kin, as well as supporting our staff involved.” These incidents were always extremely testing for police, Price said. “They are fast-moving, unpredictable and high-pressure situations that require quick judgments. “Ultimately, police are here to protect our community. Our staff must strike a balance between the responsibility to protect life and the duty to enforce the law.” Police Association president Chris Cahill it was a “real tragedy” that would have been “unforeseen” when laying the road spikes. “Our thoughts go out to their families, it is a real tragedy. Even more tragic is it was avoidable, just don’t drive in that manner.” Early reports suggested officers involved had “done everything right”. “They have withdrawn from the fleeing driver when they realised they were not going to stop, then used road spikes to try and deflate the tyres to slow the vehicle down. “The results here are unforeseen, but if they hadn’t taken that option and they continued to drive at that speed they posed a danger to the public.” Cahill said reports the driver and passengers were teenagers was a “real concern”. “It is all too common. [Teenage drivers] is an issue for police, they don’t know who is driving the vehicle and they have got to react to what is in front of them.” Since July 2017 the Independent Police Conduct Authority and New Zealand Police have been reviewing fleeing driving events to “better understand the fleeing driver environment and police management of these events”. The report was intended to be finalised and made publicly available in late 2018, but has been delayed until February 2019. A thorough police investigation had commenced to establish the facts of what occurred in last night’s crash and determine further action, including notifying the Independent Police Conduct Authority. - NZME

Bountiful harvest for machinery club By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguradian.co.nz
Hauling in a yield twice that of last year’s, Mid Canterbury Vintage Machinery Club members were thrilled with their barley paddock. They harvested eight hectares at Tinwald, as a fundraiser for building their new club rooms and display shed which is nearing completion at the Ashburton A&P grounds. Chairman John Hall said he was pleased with how the day went on Thursday. Landowner Greg Donaldson had provided the land, CLAAS Harvest Centre did the harvest, while the buyer provided a truck and trailer to take the crop away. Tongue-in-cheek, Hall said that he and fellow members had the luxury of “supervising”. They could enjoy lending a hand and watching the modern machinery sweeping in to make the most of the small harvest window provided. All involved had been keeping an eye on the moisture conditions earlier in the day, and the weather. There had been two millimetres of rain overnight, but the crop dried out just enough in the afternoon. The machines and associated manpower cranked up, and by 2pm harvest was under way. It was all done by 5pm, with an impressive result of 50 tonnes of barley. “It’s pretty tricky at the mo-

ment with the weather for harvest so were very lucky we got it done,” Hall said. The dryland crop had benefited from recent high rainfall. It
was the second time the club had grown barley at the site, but last year’s crop had been affected by a dry patch, resulting in half the current yield.
■ ASHBURTON FIRE STATION
Station expands into the outdoors By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz
The big conversion to bring Ashburton’s volunteer firefighters together has been complete for nearly a year, but there is still work happening at the Ashburton Fire Station to accommodate the more than 50 firefighters. “We are just taking out a window and replacing it with a door
and concrete pad with a bit of fencing around it to give us some more space,” Ashburton Volunteer fire chief Alan Burgess said. “Nothing too dramatic, but with the numbers increasing we just need that little bit more space.” The Ashburton Fire Station now hosts the Ashburton volunteer and Ashburton rural fire units, a
change that Burgess says they are still working through. “We just have to keep on keeping on, it is still a work in progress and it is just a wait and see until it all works itself out,” he said. “The sense of it is to have all your emergency services related to fire in one place and that is the real thrust of amalgamation and makes a whole lot more sense.”

In brief Open day at skifield Methven Lions Club members and Mt Hutt Ski Area staff will join together on March 2 to welcome visitors to a snowless Mt Hutt. That’s if Mother Nature comes to the party, and doesn’t deliver an unseasonal snowfall as she has this week. Discover Mt Hutt will raise money for the community by offering walkers and mountain bikers rides to the top of the Summit Six chairlift. Held each year, the event generally attracts visitors in the thousands, who are also offered a tour of the mountain, musical entertainment and a super slip and slide. Midsummer snow flurries graced the Mt Hutt area yesterday as rain fell on the Mid Canterbury plains, a local farmer reported.

■ SUMMER SINGING SCHOOL
Top voices raise the bar By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
When the voices began at Mid Canterbury Summer Singing School yesterday, teacher Jo Castelow was impressed. “This is the first five minutes and they sound this good already,” she said. The 19th annual school, at
the Ashburton Trust Event Centre, has attracted about 130 students. They will sing their hearts out this week as they prepare for a public performance on Friday and Saturday. Soundwaves will feature songs from some of the greatest musicals, both old and new. The Greatest Showman, Dear Evan
Hansen, La La Land, Footloose and Hello Dolly are just some examples. “It’s really varied, the idea is to teach them new musicals, and the old favourites. They are really into the new music, but also they really appreciate the old ones because they haven’t heard them,” Castelow said.
She held auditions at the weekend for hotly contested solo parts, and found a very high standard amongst participants. Soundwaves will stage at the event centre at 7.30pm on Friday, and Saturday 2pm and 7.30pm. Two scholarship winners will be announced at the final performance on Saturday.
Auckland Police are still hunting the gunman who shot a man in the lower back and buttock early yesterday morning near Whenuapai. Police were called to the incident around 4.30am after a 33-year-old man received gunshot wounds on Brigham Creek Road. The man was taken to hospital in a critical condition yesterday morning, however, police told the Herald last evening he was stable. A spokesperson for police said they remained at the scene throughout the day and inquiries are continuing to locate the offender. - NZME

■ BIG LITTLE THEATRE COMPANY
Pupils learn street performance By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
There is no fear of any of the Mid Canterbury youngsters attending Big Little Theatre Company’s summer school getting out of line these school holidays. Their guest tutor Michael Armstrong is cracking the whip, literally, as he teaches them how to become street performers. “It breaks the sound barrier,” said Armstrong to the questions he had from pupils yesterday on how the leather strap makes such a loud noise. The whip is just one of the props the lawyer-turned-circus performer is using to keep his charges completely transfixed. Big Little Theatre Company director Jackie Heffernan said she was enjoying seeing her students discover the ancient art of street theatre, and develop their dramatic side, and their confidence, at the same time. “It involves creating a perso-
na and stepping out of yourself to create a new character,” Heffernan said. There were about 30 young thespians aged from seven to 16 undertaking the school, based at Plains Vintage Railway and Historical Museum. The site is providing the perfect backdrop, and on Friday parents and friends will attend a street performance there. Seniors are studying Shakespeare at the summer school, and also picking up tips from Armstrong on how to draw a crowd and how to encourage audience participation. The tips will come in handy for those who are off to the Globe Theatre in London later this year, as they plan to take a train trip to Brighton to find out what it is like to be a street entertainer in real life. Heffernan said she had obtained a busker’s licence for the group, of about 15 students, and they would be performing Shakespeare for the street.
One woman has been arrested in relation to a home invasion where an elderly resident was attacked in Kawakawa last week. Detective Senior Sergeant Rhys Johnston said Northland Police investigating the incident arrested a 24-year-old woman after a pleasing response from the public. The woman will be charged with aggravated burglary and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and will appear in the Kaikohe District Court today. - NZME

Brazen art thieves donned high-vis vests and spent an hour removing a 2m tall bronze gnome from outside an Auckland art gallery. The sculpture, named Thinker, by renowned artist Gregor Kregar, retails for $55,000 and was barely outside Gow Langsford Gallery for a week before it was nicked. Gallery director John Gow said the gnome was installed the week before Christmas and was deemed “very festive”. Gow said three thieves arrived at the scene, on the corner of Wellesley and Kitchener Sts, about midnight Christmas Eve. CCTV footage then shows the men bending down and using an instrument to unbolt the 80-100kg statue from the concrete plinth. - NZME

Surgeries deferred as doctors strike Ashburton Hospital will remain open throughout the New Zealand Resident Doctors’ Association junior doctors’ 48-hour strike beginning 7am today. Canterbury District Health Board employs nine resident medical officers in Ashburton, but has sufficient senior medical staff, nursing and allied health staff to ensure safe care throughout the strike action. “The Ashburton team have contacted anyone whose appointment in Ashburton has had to be rescheduled. Ashburton people whose planned elective surgery or outpatient appointment in Christchurch has had to be rescheduled have been contacted directly by the individual services based in Canterbury. We are not able to advise how many Ashburton people have been affected,” a CDHB spokesperson said yesterday. Mid Canterbury residents can phone their General Practice team first for all non-urgent care. When they call their usual general practice number after-hours their call will be answered by a nurse who can provide free health advice. If they need to be seen, the nurse will advise them what to do and where to go for care around the clock. For trusted health advice, they can also visit the HealthInfo website or visit their community pharmacy for health advice. A second 48-hour strike is also planned for January 29-30. The District Health Boards’ national contingency planner, Anne Aitcheson, said non-urgent, planned surgeries and some outpatient appointments would be postponed and rescheduled as a result of the strike action. Aitcheson said she could not confirm exactly how many surgeries had been deferred as a result, as that data was still being
collected by each DHB, but said it would be thousands. For some patients it will be “considerable weeks” before they head off again for surgery, she said. “It isn’t like a one-off event where we can plan the resumption – we need to continue to monitor it and ensure we a delivering acute services first.” She said patients will be kept informed and all affected patients had been contacted directly by phone, text or letter. Aitcheson said with roughly 80 per cent of junior doctors striking, senior doctors were being called in to work extra shifts over the 48-hour period. Union, Resident Doctors’ Association, said their members were striking to keep the terms and conditions in their collective contract that prevents them from working 16 hours in a row without guaranteed breaks. Following MECA (Multi-Employer Collective Agreement) negotiations, the union’s senior advocate David Munro says RMOs could also be moved to any hospital in the country as the DHBs see fit. “RMOs could lose access to education and training, jeopardising the quality of care we are able to deliver to our patients, and a whole lot more,” Munro said. However, DHBs say they “strongly dispute” these claims. DHB spokesman Dr Peter Bramley said it was untrue for the union to say they wanted to move junior doctors around the country at will. “Rosters across multiple hospitals in non-urban areas and any combined duty and on-call period of more than 16 consecutive hours currently requires the approval of the RDA.’’ - NZME

Roman numerals among baby names declined What’s in a name? Well, usually letters, for a start. The Department of Internal affairs has released a list of baby names it declined last year – two of which were not names, but Roman numerals II and III. A total of 66 names got the boot and included mostly a mix of royal titles, military ranks and possibly a kind of lipstick. Six babies missed out on being called King, two applications were received for the name Queen and three bubs missed out on being dubbed Royalty for life. Saint was always a popular choice with parents – with three applications received for that moniker. There was also a number of names with unique spellings that could have been passed as a royal title. Among those gems were: HeavenPrincezz-Star, Kingdavid, Lee-Royal, Majestee-Honours, Princess-Dixie-Rose, Prinze, Prynce and Kyro-King. Other parents felt their little ones were on equal levels as the Almighty – depending on what you believe in – and offered the likes of: Allah, Emperor, Emprah, Messiah, Majesty and Saint. The name Royale got two applications, Royelle one, Roil one and another mum just wanted everyone to know how special her wee one was – wanting the name: Royale-Bubz. Jeff Montgomery, registrar-general of births, death and marriages said there were boundaries put in place that made sure
names did not cause offence, were of reasonable length and did not unjustifiably resemble an official title or rank. “The name of any baby born and registered in New Zealand must comply with New Zealand’s rules,’’ he said. “For example, you’ll need to rethink swear words, names of more than 70 characters, numerals or anything unpronounceable – like a backslash or a punctuation mark. “There’s no problem if you want to give your child a spelled-out number or even a silly name, but remember your child has to live with it.’’ Of the almost 60,000 children born in New Zealand each year, less than 1 per cent of babies had their name personally considered by the registrar-general – something that happened if families wanted to present their reasons behind a certain name that had failed the criteria. Last year’s top baby names were Oliver and Charlotte – the same as 2017; while Nikau and Mia were the top favourites for Maori baby names. - NZME

■ LION AIR CRASH
Voice recorder found Navy divers have located the cockpit voice recorder of a Lion Air jet that crashed into the Java Sea in October, Indonesian officials said, in a possible boost to the accident investigation. Ridwan Djamaluddin, a deputy maritime minister, told reporters that remains of some of the 189 people who died in the crash were also discovered at the seabed location. “We got confirmation this morning from the National Transportation Safety Committee’s chairman,” he said. A spokesman for the Indonesian navy’s western fleet, Lt Col Agung Nugroho, said divers using high-tech equipment found the voice recorder beneath 8 metres of seabed mud. The plane crashed in waters 30 metres deep. The 2-month-old Boeing 737 MAX 8 jet plunged into the Java Sea just minutes after taking off from Jakarta on October 29, killing everyone on board. The cockpit data recorder was recovered within days of the crash and showed that the jet’s airspeed indicator had

Pesticides, poo found in e-cigarettes Poo, pesticides and nicotine are being inhaled by smokers of nicotine-free electronic cigarettes, a study has found. Researchers analysed the liquid in e-cigarettes sold online and over-the-counter as nicotine-free and found 60 per cent contained the highly addictive stimulant. All held traces of a toxic chemical – 2-chlorophenol – commonly used in insecticides, herbicides and disinfectants.
Head researcher Alexander Larcombe said he was surprised to find the toxin as it is known to irritate human airways and skin. “It’s classified as acutely toxic,” Professor Larcombe said. It is illegal in Australia to sell e-liquids which contain nicotine. But a third of the study’s samples held nicotine levels similar to vaping a low–dose nicotine e-cigarette.
“We also found other things – by-products of animal or human bodily functions – which indicates the process of making the e-liquids might not be as clean as you might hope,” he said. Ingredients commonly used to make flavouring, soaps, detergents and solvents were also found. Prof Larcombe said most were benign food additives but their safety, when heated
between 200 to 250°C and inhaled, was unknown. “The real take-home message here is that people are buying these liquids unaware of what’s in them, and there’s no way they can tell based on what the label says,” he said. The study, published in the Medical Journal of Australia, was a collaboration between Telethon Kids Institute, Curtin University and The University of Western Australia. – AAP
Madden, Bamber split Richard Madden and girlfriend Ellie Bamber have split after 18 months together. News of the split comes just days after the actor took home a Golden Globe for his work on Bodyguard. Many observers noticed that Richard attended the show without Ellie. Britain’s The Sun, who first reported the split, said Richard, 32, and Ellie, 21, simply no longer saw eye to eye. “They’re both absolutely gutted but it was a decision made for the best. They were arguing almost daily towards the end and, despite considering couples’ therapy, it became evident there were far too many issues that could not be fixed,” a source told The Sun.
Polish mayor stabbed while at charity event Doctors are fighting to save a Polish mayor’s life after a convicted criminal with a knife rushed on to the stage at a charity event and stabbed him in the heart and abdomen before shouting that he did it for political revenge. Gdansk Mayor Pawel Adamowicz grabbed his belly and collapsed in front of the audience at a fundraiser organised by the country’s most important charity. Doctors reanimated Adamowicz on the spot and then transported him to Medical University of Gdansk, where he underwent five hours of surgery, said Dr. Tomasz Stefaniak, one of the doctors treating Adamowicz. Almost seven hours after the assault, Stefaniak told report-
ers “the patient is alive,” triggering applause, but added that the mayor remained “in a very serious condition”. “The next hours will decide everything,” Stefaniak said, appealing for thoughts and prayers for the popular mayor. Polish media reported that a number of political officials and Gdansk Archbishop Slawoj Leszek Glod went to the hospital during the operation. After the knife attack, the assailant shouted from the stage that he had been wrongly imprisoned under a previous national government led by Civic Platform, a party to which the mayor formerly belonged. Police said the suspect was a 27-year-old with a criminal record and had carried out bank robberies. A police spokesman
said the attacker appeared to have mental problems and gained access to the area with a media badge. He was arrested and is under investigation. TVN footage showed Adamowicz on stage with a sparkler in hand telling the audience that it had been a “wonderful day” and then the attacker came toward him. The mayor had been on the streets of his Baltic port city earlier in the day collecting money for the charity, along with volunteers around the country. European Council President Donald Tusk, a former Polish prime minister who co-founded Civil Platform and is from Gdansk, wrote on Twitter: “Let’s all pray for Mayor Ad-
amowicz. Pawel, we are with you.” Adamowicz, 53, has been mayor of Gdansk since 1998. He was part of the democratic opposition born in that city under the leadership of Lech Walesa during the 1980s. After leaving Civic Platform, he was re-elected to a sixth term as an independent candidate in the fall. As mayor, he has been a progressive voice, supporting LGBT rights and tolerance for minorities. He marched in last year’s gay pride parade, a rare action for a mayor in Poland. He also showed solidarity with the Jewish community when the city’s synagogue had its windows broken last year, strongly denouncing the vandalism. – AP
Knightley – being mum hard Raising a child is never easy, even for Keira Knightley. The actress, who shares 3-year-old daughter Edie with husband James Righton, is opening up about how hard motherhood can be – despite her ability to afford childcare. “I don’t think we give women enough credit for the physical and emotional marathon they go through when becoming a mother,” the Colette star, 33, says in a interview. “I come from a place of amazing privilege. I have an incredible support system; I’ve been unbelievably lucky in my career; I can afford good childcare, and yet I still find it really difficult,” Knightley said.

Three things which are sadly becoming too prevalent in our lives in recent times – all of which hit home again yesterday upon the discovery of the death of three young teenagers in Christchurch who crashed while attempting to flee from police. It’s a tragic situation no matter which way you look at it. Three young lives, gone in an instant. Three entire life circles shattered plus many, many more others impacted. And for what? The escape of a telling off from

the police for speeding? A fine or a potential date in front of the judge for stealing a car? Hardly seems worth it, does it? As always, there’s been plenty of discussion around the accident over the past 24 hours. Fingers have been pointed in each and every direction. Some see where the blame should and does lie, while others tend to
want to find a reason to be critical and against the police – who, as I’ve written here before, were simply doing their jobs. But this shouldn’t be about the blame game. The fact of the matter is that three families have had their worlds turned upside down in one moment – a moment which could have been easily avoided. But they’re not the only ones who will suffer. There’s friends of the deceased who will be pondering their own life choices very closely in the coming days, the emergency services who attended, what from all accounts was a horror scene and the police officers who were directly involved
in the initial chase and also those who were in charge of trying to protect the community by laying road spikes to stop the spree. They’ll be battling some serious demons at the moment and all because they were trying to do their job. Those on the scene have reported that the same officers who were trying to stop the vehicle then threw their own safety to one side in an effort to get into the car and rescue its occupants. It is a tough one to comprehend, really – and one which we’ve had to comprehend far too many times in the past few months. Our lives are precious. We only
get one. We need to really start hammering home not only the advantages of protecting one’s self-worth, but also the ramifications of what might happen if you don’t. Young minds are easily led. Troubled minds find the wrong path even easier. But most importantly, the main message from this avoidable tragedy is quite simple. If you see police lights behind you. Stop. Don’t run. Pull over and face the consequences – they’re going to be a far lot better than what could potentially unfold if you don’t.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, January 15, the 15th day of 2019. There are 350 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On Jan. 15, 1929, civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. was born in Atlanta. On this date: In 1559, England’s Queen Elizabeth I was crowned in Westminster Abbey. In 1862, the US Senate confirmed President Abraham Lincoln’s choice of Edwin M. Stanton to be the new Secretary of War, replacing Simon Cameron. In 1892, the original rules of basketball, devised by James Naismith, were published for the first time in Springfield, Massachusetts, where the game originated. In 1919, in Boston, a tank containing an estimated 2.3 million gallons of molasses burst, sending the dark syrup coursing through the city’s North End, killing 21 people. In 1943, work was completed on the Pentagon, the headquarters of the US Department of War (now Defense). In 1961, a US Air Force radar tower off the New Jersey coast collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean during a severe storm, killing all 28 men aboard. In 1970, United States VicePresident Spiro Agnew’s threeday visit to New Zealand sparked some of the most violent antiVietnam War demonstrations seen in this country. In 1973, President Richard M. Nixon announced the suspension of all US offensive action in North Vietnam, citing progress in peace negotiations. In 1978, two students at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Lisa Levy and Margaret Bowman, were slain in their sorority house. (Ted Bundy was later convicted of the crime and was sentenced to death. But he was executed for the rape and murder of a 12-yearold girl, which occurred 3 weeks after the sorority slayings.) In 1989, NATO, the Warsaw Pact and 12 other European countries adopted a human rights and
security agreement in Vienna, Austria. In 1993, a historic disarmament ceremony ended in Paris with the last of 125 countries signing a treaty banning chemical weapons. Ten years ago: US Airways Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger ditched his Airbus 320 in the Hudson River after a flock of birds disabled both engines; all 155 people aboard survived.

e’re into a new year but some of the challenges Federated Farmers and our members will grapple with over the next 12 months are a spillover from 2018, and even further back. The cattle disease Mycoplasmas bovis caused widespread heartbreak and huge expense last year. While we won’t achieve eradication in 2019 there are positive signs that by year’s close we could see ourselves coming out the other end. Hopefully, we’ll see a slowdown of infected property notifications and more farms coming off Restricted Place Notice than coming on. Even if that is the trend, the reality is it will still be several years before it could be claimed New Zealand is free of this scourge. Meantime, the priority for Feds (noting good progress has already been made) is to continue liaison with members and MPI to reduce the time it takes for affected farmers to be paid due compensation, so they can get on with re-building their businesses. Feds will be closely participating in the review of the Biosecurity Act. In particular, we’re looking for clarity around equity and compensation, and ensuring that legislation drives positive behaviour by all parties to reduce threats to human livelihoods, and
Write to us! Editor, PO Box 77
Email us! editor@theguardian. co.nz Facebook us! our native flora and fauna. The priorities should be protection, fast communication and greater awareness and information around threats. That’s way better than spending tens of millions cleaning up the mess later on. We also need a system where someone who is worried about a pest or disease symptoms they have observed can be confident they’ll be supported by the industry and NZ Inc, and thus has no reason to hesitate about reporting it to authorities. Other big issues in 2019 include the review of the Dairy Industry Restructuring Act (deadline for submissions – February 8) and ongoing debate about climate change. The farming sector has a particular challenge around nitrous oxide emissions but there is growing evidence that methane is something of a red herring. Small but sustained reductions in methane burped by livestock will
ensure that gas does not add to global warming. New Zealand’s – and the world’s – clear priority is slashing the carbon dioxide spewed into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuel-based products. The continuing drive for water quality improvements is another ‘biggie’ for farmers in 2019. We take issue with those who lay all the blame on the dairy industry. Keep in mind, only 15 per cent of the nation’s streams and rivers run through dairy farms, and monitoring consistently shows the worst waterway pollution is adjacent to urban areas. But we don’t quibble with one of our critic’s recent assessment that many farmers understand the need for action and are making the necessary changes to how they use their land. But some others are slower and need to get with the play, and stop letting the wider sector down. As everyone shifts up the standards ladder there are always
some left on the bottom rung – but hopefully it’s a higher rung than it was a decade ago. Keep your eyes also on the report back by the Tax Working Group next month. Sir Michael Cullen and his colleagues are under pressure from some quarters to come up with some form of capital gains tax (CGT), yet there is plenty of evidence that it will do nothing to take the heat off house prices and will have huge implications for super funds, KiwiSaver, retirement village operators (who will pass on costs) and ACC levy investments.

YOUR VIEW Methven Summer School There was a hive of activity at Mount Hutt College from January 5 till January 10. We achieved what those with foresight over 30 years ago set out to do, which was to put Methven on the map for a week over summer and to encourage people to try a new activity or hone an existing one. A big thank you to the hardworking Summer School com-
mittee and co-ordinator, to Mount Hutt College, and their property manager Mark, for allowing us to use their great facilities. Also to our clever tutors, students, our website advertisers, those who bought raffles and the press-ganged helpers – without you all we would have gone the way of so many Summer Schools and simply disappeared into the autumn mists. So keep an eye on our website www.methvemsummerschool.

■ FMG YOUNG FARMER OF THE YEAR
Fierce competition for regional final By Tim Cronshaw
Tim.c@Theguardian.co.nz
A Mid Canterbury trio face some stiff competition in their bid to make it to the FMG Young Farmer of the Year grand final. To make it through the next cut they have to win the Aorangi regional final at Oamaru on February 23. The regional finalists from Mid Canterbury are Campbell Sommerville, Ezekiel Turner and Billy Dowle. Sommerville, 25, works on a 600 hectare arable farm in Methven, growing wheat, barley, peas, fodder beet, kale and grass seed. Turner, 26, is a stock manager at the 3800ha High Peak Station in Rakaia Gorge. Across the Rakaia River from Turner is Dowle. The 26-yearold is a stock manager at Redcliffs Station, which runs about 3800 merino ewes and 240 angus cows. They will have their work cut out for them in a field of eight contestants as some of them are old hands in the competition. Among them is Adam Judd, 28, who is vice-chairman of Timaru Young Farmers and an assistant manager on a 720-cow dairy farm at Pleasant Point. This will be his third attempt at trying to win the regional final. “I really enjoyed competing last year. I’m hoping that having done it before will give me a bit of an advantage,” Judd said. However, another four contestants also have experience competing in the regional final. Former shepherd Josh McAtamney, 30, who contract milks 950 cows and fattens bulls at Carew, is competing for the second time and was runner-up at last year’s event.

Billy Dowle “I enjoy the practical modules and I’m looking forward to getting stuck into this regional final,’’ said McAtamney. “It should be exciting.’’ Even more experienced is Alan Harvey, 27, who’s an Oamaru-based agricultural consultant with Agri Planz. This will be the former agronomist’s fourth attempt at trying to make the grand final.
Ezekiel Turner “I grew up watching the contest on television and it’s an event I’ve always aspired to be a part of,” he said. Harvey has worked on a high-yielding 400ha irrigated cotton farm and harvested grain in Australia. Timaru dry stock farmer William Ellis, 28, has also spent time planting canola, wheat and barley across the Tasman.
“It’s anyone’s game going into the regional final,’’ said Ellis. “It looks like it will be evenly contested again this year.’’ The other finalist is Kerry Watson, 27, who grew up on a sheep and beef farm in the United Kingdom and is a farm assistant on a 400-cow dairy farm at Five Forks. During the regional final contestants will tackle a series of practical and theoretical ses-
Campbell Sommerville sions at the Oamaru A&P showgrounds. This will be followed by a dinner and agri-knowledge quiz hosted by comedian Te Radar. The Aorangi event is the second of seven regional finals being held across the country between February and April. Regional winners will go on to the grand final in Hawke’s Bay in July.

A brown marmorated stink bug
Stinkbug concern to biosecurity BY TIM CRONSHAW
TIM.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Biosecurity officers are stepping up surveillance after the discovery of another brown marmorated stink bug this time in Auckland. Authorities believe there is no connection with the new find in Glenfield and the stink bug traced in Tauranga last month. The Auckland bug was a single live unmated female discovered on January 2. Biosecurity New Zealand spokewoman Dr Catherine Duthie said it was unknown where the sting bug came from and inquiries are continuing to find its pathway. “The investigation to date has found no evidence of an established BMSB population. We will keep investigating and have stepped up surveillance in the area to help us determine whether this … is a lone hitchhiker, or whether there are more in the area.” The stink bug is an unwanted pest because it feeds on more than 300 plant species and would be a major problem for cropping if it came to New Zealand. Thousands of bugs can enter houses during winter and they stink. Duthie said there was no connection between the Glenfield discovery and a recent detection in Tauranga. Biosecurity New Zealand has been running education campaigns in New Zealand
with industry bodies to ensure people look out for them to enable early detection. “Alerts from the public are an important part of the system, allowing us to act quickly to eliminate any biosecurity threats,’’ she said. “This find is a timely reminder that New Zealand’s biosecurity system relies on more than just protections at the border.” The stink bug is a shield-shaped insect about the size of a ten-cent piece with distinctive black and white banding on the abdomen and the antennae. Anyone who thinks they have found s suspected stink bug should catch it and report it to the Biosecurity New Zealand hotline on 0800 80 99 66. Stink bug facts: The brown marmorated stink bug is a voracious eater of horticulture produce, including apples, grapes and tomatoes. A wide range of crops would be unmarketable if damaged by the bug. Some growers in parts of the United States where the bug is established have reported crop losses of up to 95 per cent. The bug is resistant to many insecticides, making it difficult and expensive to control. When it gets cold, it tends to bunch up in large numbers in dark spaces in homes and other dwellings, making it a major public nuisance.
Positive start to wool sales The first South Island wool sale of the year opened on a more positive note in Christchurch last week. Buyers were keen to fill orders and new season’s lambs wool was especially sought-after as only limited volumes had come forward, PGG Wrightson Wool’s South Island sales team said. Despite the depressed price levels, most wool growers had been prepared to meet the market.
Ninety-three per cent of wool on offer was cleared. Crossbred fleece (30 to 33 micron) was 3 per cent to 5 per cent dearer and 34 micron and stronger lifted up to 2 per cent. Mid micron (25 to 30 micron) wools were 1 per cent to 3 per cent dearer on very limited volumes. Crossbred lambs’ wool was 3 per cent to 5 per cent up, the finer micro styles most affected. – NZME

The plastic bag anomaly
for the wide range of alternative bags customers may choose to put their produce in,” the spokeswoman said. She said Foodstuffs’ IT team was working on a viable solution to allow shoppers to use other options. “We hope to have this complet-
ed and rolled out over the next few months.” She could not confirm whether or not Pak N Save and New World stores were now going through more plastic produce bags. The Herald has approached Woolworths NZ, owner of Countdown, for comment.
Greg Harford, general manager of public affairs at Retail NZ, said he did not believe shoppers were now using more plastic bags from produce aisles. “The number of plastic roll bags used in produce sections is relatively small compared to the number of plastic checkout bags that were being issued so we’ve made great strides over the last little while in terms of cutting down on plastic,” Harford said. Retailers were also working to reduce plastic packaging on produce, he said. “There aren’t necessarily good alternatives to that yet but I think it is certainly true that retailers are aware of the issue and are looking closely at what can be done.” Foodstuffs and Countdown, along with 15 large international brands have signed the New Zealand Plastic Packaging Declaration to commit to move to 100 per cent reusable, recyclable or compostable packaging by 2025. - NZME
Power repayment A property manager must repay more than a year’s electricity charges after a landlord only provided one power meter at a two-flat property, making it impossible for tenants to work out how much each of them owed. The Tenancy Tribunal ordered Twin Rivers Real Estate to repay April Nepia $5022.41 for the power she paid for at her Ngaruawahia flat between August 2017 and November last year. “There was only one electricity meter for the premises despite there being two flats,” the tribunal said. - NZME

decade from 15.6 per cent in 2018,” it says. While spending will rise, money coming into the government’s coffers will be less than previously forecast. It noted that business confidence remains on a downward trend with a figure of negative 37.1 points in November, down from positive 24.8 in June 2017. “Continued weakness will likely have a direct effect on corporate tax revenue which makes up 14.8 per cent of the country’s revenue.” Consumer confidence has also fallen to 115.4 points in October from a peak of 128 in March last year “suggesting the potential for lower consumer spending over the short term, especially as New Zealand’s household debt remains high at slightly more than 120 per cent of GDP,” Fitch says. “The slowdown in consumer spending could also weigh on GST collection, which makes up 24.3 per cent of total revenue.” Fitch’s dimmer view of New Zealand’s growth prospects is why it expects the government’s fiscal surplus will likely shrink to 0.8 per cent of GDP this year and to 1.2 per
cent next year from 2.1 per cent in the year ended June 2018. “This is on the back of the country’s slowing economic growth which we expect to weigh on revenue collection over the coming quarters,” Fitch says. Previously Fitch had been forecasting a surplus of 2 per cent of GDP and 1.9 per cent for this year and next respectively, although its forecast for the current year’s surplus is above Treasury’s 0.7 per cent of GDP forecast. In any case, Fitch expects government debt levels will remain healthy. “It is one of the least indebted countries among OECD economies with total gross debt of 30.6 per cent in 2018, comfortably below the OECD average of 73 per cent and on a declining trend. “As such, there is ample buffer for policymakers to enact expansionary fiscal policy to support the economy should growth decelerate significantly.” In early December, Fitch Ratings raised the outlook for New Zealand banks to stable from negative, citing stabilising household debt and slowing house price growth. - NZME

Fitch expects slower growth New Zealand’s economy will likely grow at a slower pace than Treasury is forecasting due to weak business confidence and declining consumer confidence, according to Fitch Solutions Macro Research. “We expect growth to slow due to continued weak business and consumer sentiment which will weigh on investment and private consumption growth, Fitch says. It is forecasting tax and other government revenue to rise 5 per cent this year and 4.5 per cent next year, well below Treasury’s latest forecasts for growth of 5.7 per cent and 5.5 per cent respectively. “Our forecasts are slightly lower than the Treasury’s estimates, given our slightly less sanguine view of the economy,” Fitch says, emphasising that this view is independent of Fitch Ratings and that the two arms of Fitch don’t share data or other information. “We forecast real GDP growth to come in at 2.6 per cent in 2019 and 2.3 per cent in 2020 compared to the Treasury’s more bullish forecasts of 3 per cent and 3.2 per cent respectively,” it says. That’s despite Fitch expecting government spending to rise. Noting the priorities the government outlined in December, it says social security, welfare and healthcare will remain the largest components of government spending with welfare accounting for 29 per cent of total spending and healthcare at 16.1 per cent. “In particular, we forecast the share of the pensionable population – those aged 65 and above – to rise to 20 per cent over the next

Supermarkets ditched single-use plastic checkout bags from the first of the month but other plastic bags – namely the ones in fresh produce aisles – are still readily available. Over the past couple of weeks the Herald has witnessed numerous shoppers tear off extra produce bags and placing them in their trolleys, empty. While bags are needed to group loose fruit and vegetables during the grocery run, it poses the question as to why paper or mesh alternatives have not been rolled out. A spokeswoman for Foodstuffs, which operates supermarkets New World and Pak ‘N Save, told the Herald both supermarkets still offered plastic produce bags as their IT systems did not allow for alternatives when weighing items upon checkout. “Store scales are programmed to take into account the existing plastic bags ensuring customers are charged the correct amount, but cannot accurately do this

Dig In Mahi Mara By Connor Lysaght Our current exhibition Dig In Mahi Mara has already sparked much interest. It seems everyone has, or has had, a garden or an opportunity to experience the pleasure of growing plants, see them bloom and produce something enjoyable either to eat or to view. The practice of cultivation is something embedded in our background. Well before early humans practised animal husbandry they were gardening. It is thought that the first attempts at purposely growing food, rather than simply gathering ‘found’ edibles, occurred at the area known as the Levant. This area, in the Middle East, is thought by some to be the location of the biblical Garden of Eden. Fertile soils and good climate allowed grains and other wild foods to be grown and provide a reliable, constant source of food. While hunting was important, much of the diet of those earliest humans was gathered or grown, and plant based. While many people only dabble with food crops, having a few vegetable plants in the garden, a whole row of potatoes ready for Christmas, or maybe a fruit tree or two, vegetable gardens these days are only the domain of the ‘serious’ gardener. A generation or two ago however, people relied on their gardens to provide food for their large families. It is no accident, therefore for example, that state houses, until recently, had large backyards. While it provided a great space for the kids to play in, there was an expectation that the poorer families who inhabited the houses would have good vegetable gardens. Learning and sharing There was no excuse not to be able to grow something as everyone had been taught from an early age how to tend plants. While the home garden was the first point of learning, most schools had a garden and numerous competitions were run for the best school garden or the largest single garden item grown. Garden clubs, horticultural societies or such groups as churches and women’s groups held regular competitions; and I have heard that sometimes the rivalry to be

the best gardener was quite intense. However, for the majority of time, gardening encouraged cooperation. Families often worked together in planting, tending and harvesting their produce. Neighbours often shared excesses or offered advice to young couples or new arrivals to their community on what to grow where and when. Many gardeners continue these traditions. Bumper crops, particularly before the advent of freezers, saw food shared either with friends and family or those less fortunate. Every year many churches had a harvest thanksgiving festival where food was gathered and given to the poor, elderly or those in need. A knitted garden Dig In Mahi Mara continues these practices. It highlights the joy the garden brings to many and how it can nourish us in more ways than one. It also shows us how gardens have changed. No more are local gardens confined to the stock vegetables of spuds, peas and beans. Ashburton gardens may just as likely have bok choy, kumara and maybe taro, reflecting our multicultural community. We may also experiment with such cosmopolitan plants as eggplant, or more mundane plants that have been jazzed up – such as coloured silver beet or acid free tomatoes. Our exhibition, inspired by the
Home Grown exhibition at Waikato Museum, in a very real sense highlights local gardens, gardening and the gardeners themselves. It has required a great deal of planning and preparation. Because we couldn’t use real produce, Dig In Mahi Mara includes dozens of hand-knitted and crocheted vegetables and fruit sent to us by crafty people from throughout New Zealand. This meant a large number of people have helped grow our community garden – people with time, talents and knowledge to see it grow from a shoot of an idea into a blossoming fruition. The result is very realistic and colourful. It also requires regular maintenance to see the handcrafted vegetables are still in place and intact. Like gardeners, the staff of Ashburton Museum and those that have helped us, have taken an idea and nurtured it. Now we are sharing the harvest of this fun and informative exhibition with the wider community. We hope you enjoy it. Dig In Mahi Mara runs until late March. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Honouring the Fallen During the period of the First World War, 1914 to 1915, many men from the Ashburton District signed up to fight for the Empire against the German army. Many did not return – almost 450 from Ashburton were killed. The first Ashburton men were killed on April 25, 1915 – the first Anzac Day. Ashburton philanthropist and patriot Frederick Ferriman presented a special flag and a flagpole to the families of those men. The Ashburton Museum, with the assistance of the Rotary Club of Ashburton, has erected one of the original Ferriman flagpoles in front of the museum, and on the centennial of the death of each Ashburton soldier will fly a replica flag. An original flag is on display in the museum. After the cessation of hostilities when the Armistice was signed on November 11, 1918, a number of other soldiers, including some from Ashburton, died from wounds received, from illness and from accident. Therefore, this week the Ashburton Museum honours:

‘Out of this world’
By Erin TaskEr
Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz
As a scorer, Bob Bruhns has had a front row seat to some pretty incredible cricket matches in his time, but even he can’t recall ever having seen a performance like the one Mid Canterbury produced on Sunday. Mid Canterbury beat Otago Country by 106 runs at the Ashburton Domain Oval in their twoday Hawke Cup zone match, and if you looked at the scoresheet from the game’s first three innings, you’d wonder how on earth it could have happened. After rain delayed the start of the match for three hours, Mid Canterbury headed out to bat and recovered from being 22/8 to post a total of 64, before bowling Otago Country out for 83. That meant that, if the match didn’t go the full distance, Otago Country would take it out on first innings and pretty much dash Mid Canterbury’s hopes of finishing top in their zone and earning a Hawke Cup challenge against the
current holders Southland. Mid Canterbury needed to produce something special in the second half of the game, but lost three second innings wickets before the end of play on day one – making it a total of 23 wickets to fall between 1.30pm and 7.30pm – and things weren’t looking good. But then a young Hawke Cup debutant stepped up. Canterbury Under-17 player Archie Redfern recovered from a three-ball duck in the first innings to top score with 64 in the second innings, putting on three partnerships of more than 30 runs with his team-mates to help them through to 161. That set Otago Country a target of 142 to win, and they had plenty of time to do it. A couple of overs into their second innings, rain started falling and the players left the field for a time. The rain soon stopped though and the players returned, and the next few overs which played out were unbelievable, Bruhns said.
Otago Country went from 7/0, to 7/4, and then after one incredible over by another young Mid Cantabrian were in a very deep hole, at 9/8. Richard Turpie, an 18-year-old playing in just his second Hawke Cup match for Mid Canterbury, bowled the eighth over, and it was one for the record books. He bowled a dot ball, then took a hat-trick, then bowled another dot ball followed by another wicket to finish. It was a four-wicket maiden and left him with figures, at the time, of seven wickets for just two runs. “I have scored well over 800 matches now and it was the first time I’ve ever seen, at one stage of a cricket match, a side with nine runs on the board and eight wickets down,” Bruhns said. “To see the score go from 9/4 to 9/8 in one over, that’s really out of this world.” But he said Turpie’s performance was just part of the story – Redfern’s second innings half century was a vital piece of the jig-
saw too, giving his side’s bowlers something to bowl at. “For a young fellow like that, on a pitch where there were wickets falling all over the place, that was an exceptional innings,” Bruhns said. Mid Canterbury’s win ensured that they are still a strong chance of earning a Hawke Cup challenge. Otago Country have been the zone’s frontrunners this season and were still top of the table, but if Mid Canterbury can beat North Otago in their final match this weekend on first innings, Mid Canterbury would overtake Otago Country and take their zone’s Hawke Cup challenge. The Mid Canterbury versus North Otago game in Oamaru this weekend is the final game of the zone to be played this season, so it all comes down to that, and having just produced one of the side’s most memorable wins on record, Mid Canterbury’s spirits and confidence levels are high. And for good reason. Their victory over Otago Coun-
try was quite incredible. Bruhns said Turpie’s bowling figures of 8/13 were the best since the Ashburton Country Cricket Association became the Mid Canterbury Cricket Association in the 1990s. The best bowling on the honours board in the domain oval’s pavilion, which dated back to about 1995, before Sunday was Bevan Ravenscroft’s 8/23, taken in the 2013/14 season. Turpie’s figures weren’t the best of all time in the district, but they were enough to sit him at fifth on the all-time list. There were four instances in years gone by where a Mid Canterbury bowler had taken nine wickets. Brian Sampson did it twice, taking 9/34 against the West Coast in Ashburton in 1965, and 9/75 against Canterbury Country in Ashburton in 1978, while Ken Butler took 9/40 against the West Coast in 1967 and Bruce White took 9/62 against Canterbury Country in Ohoka in 1969.

■ NETBALL
Wake-up call for Ferns By Liam Napier Once again, not nearly good enough from the Silver Ferns. Their quest to turn the page in 2019 displayed early signs of promise. At this level, though, meritorious ultimately counts for little. For the first half of this match at least, the Ferns went toe-totoe with England in Liverpool to open the northern Quad Series. As the contest wore on, though, the experienced hosts comfortably pulled away; their dominant 54-41 victory confirming their favouritism to claim this tournament for the first time. Noeline Taurua used all 12 squad members and handed test debuts to defender Erena Mikaere, who replaced Jane Watson in the third quarter, and 21-yearold midcourter Kimiora Poi, injected into the game just before half-time. But having set a target of two wins from three in this series, which comes six months out from the Netball World Cup at this same venue, much work remains for Taurua over the next six days before facing Australia in London. That is now a must win scenario to suggest genuine progress is being made. As it stands, this result equalled New Zealand’s worst defeat to England – Taurua’s first match at the helm in Auckland last September. One win from the last six tests is poor by anyone’s standards. But, like anything, context is important. England have now won four straight matches against the Ferns – six of the past nine. They are also, of course, Commonwealth Games champions, having stunned Australia on the Gold Coast last year. And in front of a boisterous home crowd, they started with

through court from wing defence, Ameliaranne Ekenasio punching out of the circle and Whitney Souness looping around, the Ferns attack showed patience but frustrating, erratic moments and indecision were still too evident. Too often Sinclair proved the weak link, thus she was pulled just before half-time, with Poi taking her place. At half-time, England maintained their one goal lead. There after it seemed every time the Ferns threatened individual errors or missed connections prevailed. The final quarter but one example; defender Karin Burger binned for aggressive contact. The third quarter also proved costly as the Ferns slipped 10 goals behind. The shooting end, Maria Folau (32/29) and Ekenasio (12/13), produced high percentages but did not receive enough quality ball. Plenty, then, for Taurua to ponder. In the other of this double header, meanwhile, Australia got off to a shaky start with their final 62-45 win over South Africa proving flattering. Australian coach Lisa Alexander’s initial experimental line up was exposed early as Norma Plummer’s South Africa applied early pressure and shot out to a surprise five goal lead at the first quarter mark. That forced Alexander to inject her more experienced figures, allowing Australia to gradually pull away. South Africa will take heart, though; this performance a vast improvement on the 24-goal defeat the last time these teams met. For Australia, defending world champions, Bassett’s absence was clear and South Africa shooter Lenize Potgieter had ample room to move for much of the match. - NZME Twos; Trevor Taylor, John Smitheram (3), Lindsay Jackson, Randall Feutz, Roger Bruce, Adam Wilson, Neil Connelly.

Djokovic serving it up Men’s tennis could be facing a player revolt, with a war over player power and pay brewing behind the scenes at the Australian Open. In a dramatic move which could see major changes made to the tour, players council president and world No. 1, Novak Djokovic, has reportedly voted against extending the tenure of ATP chief executive Chris Kermode at a meeting in Melbourne, AAP reported. The ATP board will vote on the organisation’s new leadership at the conclusion of the Open, which started yesterday. Tennis Australia and Australian Open boss, Craig Tiley, is widely tipped to take the top job if Kermode is demoted. Djokovic, however, wouldn’t confirm his vote due to the meeting’s confidentially. “The decision hasn’t been made on the president,” Djokovic said. “Whether there’s a renewal or not, it’s going to be decided in the next period.” Although Djokovic hailed Tennis Australia for boosting Open prizemoney by 14 per cent to a whopping $62.5 million, he insisted that more needed to be done. “One of the things from yesterday’s general meetings that is kind of echoing in my ear is that there’s this conviction of people generally in sport, including us, that only a hundred players can live out of this sport,” Djokovic said. “That’s something that ATP is definitely, us as players, part of the council, are trying to change. “We’re trying to increase the number of players that are able to travel around the world, not just cover expenses, have the full team, have a decent living out of the sport that they play.” Meanwhile, Swiss maestro Roger Federer said there was a lot of things happening behind the scenes and said he would take soundings from other players on their views. “It’s definitely interesting times, I’d like to call it, not bad times in our sport. “It’s maybe also a bit of a tran-

In brief Wildcard wins debut Zoe Hives has parlayed her Australian Open wildcard entry into the biggest win of her fledgling career. The 22-year-old Victorian defied her ranking of No.225 in the world to upstage seasoned American Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-1 6-2 at Melbourne Park yesterday. Hives earned a second-round crack at French 19th seed Carolina Garcia after joining fellow Australian Astra Sharma as a first-time main-draw winner at the Open. - AAP
Win for ‘dark horse’ Rising Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka has lived up to her pre-tournament billing with an emphatic firstround win at the Australian Open. Considered by many as a title dark horse, the 11th seed thumped Russian qualifier Anna Kalinskaya 6-1 6-4 in one hour and six minutes yesterday. Sabalenka has soared from outside the top 70 since losing to Ashleigh Barty in the opening round last year, collecting her first two career titles in a breakout 2018 season. - AAP

sition time. “So it will be interesting to see what’s going to happen,” he said. According to The Telegraph, a strongly worded email was sent out by player council member Vasek Pospisil to the players ranked between 50 and 100, which calls for the workforce to “start acting and running like a business not like a bunch of scared kids … we need a CEO that first and foremost represents OUR interests”. Pospisil’s argument has much in common with last year’s suggestions from Djokovic that tennis should have a players’ union that is separate from the ATP. There are three tournament
representatives on the ATP board and three player representatives: namely Justin Gimelstob (the commentator and ex-player who is facing assault charges in Los Angeles), David Egdes (Gimelstob’s close associate from the Tennis Channel, and a temporary board member who came in less than two months ago) and Alex Inglot (formerly director of communications at the betting data firm Sportradar). Former Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka told the Telegraph that he cannot understand why Kermode needs to be removed. “It [the vote] is big for the sport,” said Wawrinka.
“The most important will be to keep our president. “All the things going on behind [the scenes] to try to put pressure on some people, to try to move the actual person, doesn’t feel clean, doesn’t feel good. “If you look what’s happened the last few years with our president, I think he only helped the tennis to be in a better place. “I personally think if you look only at the results – about the tennis, about the image, about the prize money and about everything – he did a great job by upgrading everything. “I also think that some people have some personal interest for sure.” - AAP
Fifth-seeded Kevin Anderson has overcome traditional poor firstround performances at Melbourne Park with a 6-3, 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 win over Adrian Mannarino. Anderson has lost in the first round here six times, including to Kyle Edmund last year. It was the South African’s first win in Melbourne since 2015. He warmed up for the Australian Open by winning his sixth ATP tour title at Pune, India. Mannarino became upset when Anderson took a lengthy bathroom break after the third set, complaining to the umpire. The Frenchman’s mood wasn’t improved when he lost his service game to open the fourth set. - AAP
New tiebreak in action Katie Boulter has the distinction of winning the first 10-point tiebreaker under the Australian Open’s new system for determining level deciding sets. Boulter beat Ekaterina Makarova 6-0, 4-6, 7-6 (6), including 10-6 in the tiebreaker in which the first player to reach 10 with an advantage of two points clinches the match. In the men’s singles draw, the first four sets will feature a seven-point tiebreaker at 6-6, with the final set going to a 10-point tiebreaker at 6-6. - AP
Sharapova cruises through By John Salvado Former world No.1 Maria Sharapova has made a commanding start to her 2019 Australian Open campaign with a double-bagel triumph against British qualifier Harriet Dart. Chasing her first grand slam title since serving a 15-month doping ban, the No.30 seed needed just 63 minutes to trounce Dart 6-0 6-0 yesterday. Sharapova’s second-round opponent in the tournament will be Swede Rebecca Peterson, who thumped Romanian Sorana Cristea 6-4 6-1. The Russian’s haul of five major titles includes the 2008 Australian Open crown. Sharapova’s most recent grand slam victory
crown came at the 2014 French Open. Less than two years later she was hit with a two-year doping ban – later reduced to 15 months – for testing positive to the banned substance meldonium at the 2016 Australian Open. “It’s been many years since I lifted the trophy here,” Sharapova said yesterday. “I love competing but I also love challenging myself because the younger players are always getting better.” After winning three matches in qualifying last week to earn a spot in the tournament main draw at Melbourne Park, the 22-year-old Dart was thoroughly outclassed by Sharapova, winning only 29 points across two one-sided sets. - AAP

Finish-line angles can be deceiving At this angle it might not look like it, but American Flyer (outside) and Carl Markham get up to beat Michael Heenan and Stoppit in a heat at the Mount Hutt Trotting Club workouts on Saturday morning. An unraced maiden pacer, trained by Darfield’s Steve Roulston, American Flyer is a daughter of Tintin In America and showed a bit of promise to beat Stoppit, who is a multiple race winner. It is likely the filly will have her first raceday appearance at the Hororata Trotting Club meeting on the same track in a few weeks. A damp start to the morning didn’t deter some nice performances from showing up on the day with Ben Waldron producing two winners in Helga’s Monarch and also One Over Dover. Terry McMillan’s promising young trotter Steel Dust, who is a half-brother to Australian trotting sensation and Inter Dominion champion, Tornado Valley looked the goods when winning the learners’ trot.

On the comeback trail It may only be a maiden race at a minor midweek meeting, but it’s a big deal for Paul Gallagher making his comeback to race-riding at Rotorua on Wednesday. Gallagher has been booked to ride the promising Tough Kid for Cambridge trainer Shaune Ritchie in the Mills Reef Winery 1100 and, though he’s a new name for New Zealand racing fans, the 32-year-old has international experience on his side, albeit best known for his deeds as a jumps jockey. The Irishman has had bigger assignments as a rider, having enjoyed success in England, Ireland and Australia and he has also ridden in the famous Grand National Steeplechase at Aintree. But he has been out of the race day saddle for two and a half years since competing in Victoria and South Australia. “I don’t think I’ve been as excited to be riding in a race,” Gallagher said. “It’ll be great to be back riding and I’ve got a good chance. Tough Kid has good form and he’ll have blinkers on for the first time at Rotorua. “Hopefully I can kick off with a winner over here.” Gallagher was enticed to come to New Zealand by his brother, Fergus, who has been working for Cambridge trainer Tony Pike for two and a half years. “Tony gave me a job, too, and I’ve been here since the end of September. “He told me that if I got my
Irish jockey Paul Gallagher is riding for Tony Pike. weight down he’d give me opportunities. “I’ve been riding work and at the trials for him and also had trials rides for Shaune Ritchie, Brendon Hawtin and Stephen Marsh. “I’ve had about 25 trials rides and, though riding over jumps has been my bread and butter and that’s what I love most, I’ll be concentrating on getting as many flat rides as I can before winter.”
Those trials rides include a win at Waipa on the Pike-trained Rippa Eagle, who has gone on to win his last two starts including his promotion from second at Ellerslie on Sunday. Gallagher comes from a big racing background with his brother Mark being a flat jockey in Ireland with international experience and his other two brothers also riders, while his father has been a foreman for a
top Irish stable for many years. Gallagher began his career as a jockey in Ireland with the legendary Dessie Hughes, then shifted to England and teamed up successfully with Howard Johnson. He won on his first ride at Aintree for Johnson and his CV includes two Aintree Festival winners and a Cheltenham winner. His most successful season was 2010-11 season with 26 winners when attached to the Johnson stable. “I rode over 120 winners in England and three or four in Ireland,” he said. Gallagher shifted to Australia in 2012 and his main success came in 2015 when taking the Grand National Steeples (3500m) at Morphettville on the Eric Musgrove-trained Urban Explorer and the Grand National Hurdles at Warrnambool on King Of Dudes for Aaron Purcell. Gallagher rode 16 winners in Australia before returning to Ireland and he said he’s determined to take every opportunity in his comeback with Dean Williams enlisted as his agent. “I’ve never been in a better head-space and I’m loving it over here,” he said. “I’ve always had plenty of family support, especially from my girlfriend Sally, who came over with me. “I wouldn’t be here without her. “I just want to get back out there and ride winners again.” - NZME
In brief Topsy turvy weekend Whirlwind is the best way to describe Tim Butt’s weekend. It started with the high of My Field Marshal’s superb Fremantle Cup win and continued when new stable addition Cheesy Fingers brilliantly won the Raith Memorial at Menangle.

Butt has scrapped Hunter Cup plans and is taking Let It Ride back to his Menangle base to try and resurrect him for the Miracle Mile. - HRNZ

■ TIGER TARA
Tiger to miss Ballarat Cup By AdAm HAmilton In a shock twist Inter Dominion champion Tiger Tara won’t tackle Saturday night’s $100,000 Group 1 Ballarat Cup. He’s the second big name in the space of just a few hours to pull out of Victoria’s biggest country cup. It follows Cran Dalgety’s decision to skip Ballarat and wait another week for the $100,000 Group 1 4YO Bonanza with Shepparton Cup winner Im Pats Delight. Tiger Tara was a clear pre-post favourite for Ballarat before Kevin Pizzuto revealed his change of plans. “He’s right where I want him and I don’t want to have to take him down to Melbourne twice or have to leave him there for the time between Ballarat and the Hunter
M6
Cup,” he said. “I’ve got lots on at home with Majordan getting ready for the Miracle Mile and Picard for the Chariots Of Fire. “I’m not just a one-horse trainer. “He doesn’t need to race at Ballarat. He’s very fit and I can sharpen him at home before the Hunter Cup.” Tiger Tara stepped-out for the first time since his stunning Melbourne Inter Dominion win when he toyed with a moderate field at Menangle on Saturday night. Todd McCarthy worked to the front and let Tiger Tara roll for a scorching 1min53.8sec mile rate iver the longer 2300m trip. He closed off in 54.2 and 26.6sec. With Tiger Tara and Im Pats Delight, the All Stars’ trio of Cruz Bromac, Thefixer and Spankem should dominate Ballarat. - HRNZ Tiger Tara won’t be sighted at the Ballarat Cup.
Bargain buy big winner Desleigh Forster has again proved there are few trainers who can match her when it comes to getting the best from inexpensive horses. The latest example of Forster’s eye for a bargain horse is Chapter And Verse who won the $1 million Magic Millions QTIS Open at the Gold Coast on Saturday. The four year old gelding cost $28,000 and has now returned $745,124. He isn’t alone as Forster’s five best horses cost a total of $135,000 and to date have returned just under $2.9 million. - AAP

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) goes up to shoot against Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson (13) in the first half of their game yesterday. PHOTO AP
■ BASKETBALL
Curry gets the Warriors home Stephen Curry scored 48 points, making 11 3-pointers, and the Golden State Warriors held off the Dallas Mavericks 119-114 yesterday. Kevin Durant added 28 points and Klay Thompson had nine of his 16 in the fourth quarter. Curry’s 11th 3-pointer – tying a season high – gave the Warriors a 117-114 lead. Draymond Green blocked Jalen Brunson’s drive at the other end and secured the loose ball. The Mavericks forced a miss, but Harrison Barnes turned the ball over in the frontcourt with 5 seconds left. Curry sealed the game with free throws. Luka Doncic scored 26 points for Dallas and Barnes had 22. Brunson had 12 off the bench in 30 minutes, in place of the injured J.J. Barea and Dennis Smith Jr. Meanwhile Nikola Vucevic and Aaron Gordon each scored 22 points and Orlando took advantage of James Harden’s awful 3-point shooting to beat Houston 116-109. Harden scored 38 points to push his run of 30-point games to 16, but was 1
of 17 from 3-point range to tie Damon Stoudamire’s NBA record for misses in a game. Stoudamire was 5 for 21 from 3-point range for Portland against Golden State on April 15, 2005. Harden was 11 of 32 overall from the field, made 15 of 16 free throws and had 12 assists and nine rebounds. The Rockets lost for only the fourth time in their last 17 games. Serge Ibaka hit a 3-pointer with 15 seconds left in the second overtime and Toronto outlasted Washington 140-138 for their fifth straight victory. The Raptors blew a 23-point lead before outlasting the Wizards. Nikola Jokic scored a season-high 40 points, Jamal Murray fought through a bloody lip to add 24 as Denver beat Portland 116-113. Jokic added 10 rebounds and eight assists, just missing his sixth-triple double of the season. Cedi Osman scored 20 points, Collin Sexton added 17 and Cleveland beat Los Angeles 101-95 to end a 12-game losing streak. Tristan Thompson had 15 points and 14 rebounds. - AP

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker
Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Clones are now scientifically possible, but your experiences, not DNA, made you amazing. The cool way you handle today’s challenge couldn’t possibly be accomplished by anyone else, not even your clone. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Something you can neither ignore nor stop is changing in your environment. The ego wants to fight this but acceptance will happen sooner or later. Sooner would keep you from wasting your effort. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Simple logic suggests if you can solve a problem, there’s no need to worry. But worry still serves a purpose. It was the first indicator you had a problem? Thank your worries. They’re trying to help. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’re generous when you want to be. And when you don’t want to be, there’s a good reason, though perhaps it’s an unconscious one. If you dare to investigate it, you’ll learn something new about yourself. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Remember when you went to a function and got cornered into listening to an unsolicited advice monologue that there was seemingly no end to or exit from? You learned from that so you’ll know what to avoid. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): When you share with someone you love, it doesn’t feel like giving. It’s natural and effortless. The energy comes back to you and you seem to have more than you started with. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): As you’re not a cynical person, sometimes you don’t stop and ask, “What is this person getting out of the situation?” That’s something to inquire about today. It’s not a cynical question, just a realistic one. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Are you excelling because you’re working hard or are you working hard because you’re excelling? The point is that it’s really coming together, so enjoy this exhilarating part of the ride. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You have ideals, and you might embody them at some point, but you don’t have to to be worthy of love and acceptance. Use them like the ship captain uses the stars – as guides to orient the map. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Having someone you can rely on is a pretty big deal right now. Just knowing that there’s someone who’s invested in your success and well-being will reduce your overall stress and anxiety. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): One game strategy is to pick an arena without too much competition to increase your odds of winning. It’s a good way to gain experience and competence until you’re ready to go to the next level. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Rejoice in the discovery of your own mistakes. It’s what lifelong learners and those committed to excellence do. It’s the secret to growing quickly.

Reid takes out Wylie handicap PHOTO HEATHER MACKENZIE 130119-HM-0047
Rachel Reid continued her rise in the sport of cycling, securing victory in the Tinwald Cycling Club’s Wylie Family 45km handicap event around the Christys Road block on Sunday. Reid and her co-markers maintained a solid pace from the start, ensuring the chasing groups were kept at bay.
In the charge to the line it was Reid who had the final say seeing off the spirited challenge from the Hudson duo, Emma and fatherin-law Brent, who secured second and third places respectively. Liz Wylie’s good season continues, claiming the fourth place spoils. Kerry Clough and Lucy Kirwan
led the chasing group to round out the top six. Scratch marker Cathal Guiney recorded the fastest time, riding the course in 63.45. Co-markers Tony Ward and Oliver Davidson claimed second and third time. The juniors and division 2 contested an 18km handicap event. Penny Marriott pulled out a top
shelf ride to take the win and lift the major spoils. Mitch Brookland continued his good season form to secure second place. Ethan Titheridge backed up a solid weekend of riding having competed at the Denton Oval Track Carnival, claiming fastest time honours, covering the dis-
tance in a slick 27.01. Jack Templeton and Zoe Spillane filled the top five spots. Janette Hooper took the win and fastest time honours in division 2, with Sue Templeton coming in a close second. Next week the club travels to Methven to contest a 45km handicap event.
Messi’s astonishing goal count That’s 400 and counting. Lionel Messi took his all-time Spanish league scoring record to 400 goals yesterday after contributing to a 3-0 win over Eibar to keep defending champion Barcelona comfortably at the top of the Spanish league. Messi scored Barcelona’s sec-
ond goal shortly after halftime to reach a milestone in the competition after 435 league matches. Former Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo is second all-time in La Liga with 311 goals. In all competitions, Barcelona says the 31-year-old Messi has scored an astonishing 575 goals
in 658 appearances. “He is from another galaxy,” Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde said. “They are incredible numbers. “But he does much more than score goals, he also does so much to generate scoring chances for others.”
Barcelona’s all-time top scorer got the landmark goal in the 53rd minute after Luis Suarez passed to him inside Eibar’s area. The Argentine did the rest by opening an angle around a defender and driving in a low left-footed shot. It was also Messi’s league-lead-
ing 17th league goal and his 23rd goal overall this season. “He should be proud,” said Suarez, who scored Barcelona’s other two goals. “Game after game he shows what a great player he is. I am happy for him and for the history that he is writing for this club.” - PA
