Prosecution ‘epically’ long A judge has reserved his decision in sentencing an ‘epically long’ WorkSafe prosecution against Talley’s over an incident that left a woman in a wheelchair. Talley’s Group Limited appeared for sentencing in front of Judge Kevin Phillips in the Ashburton District Court on Monday, after WorkSafe laid charges against the company relating to an incident in May 2015. The charges were first laid by WorkSafe in 2015, but a guilty plea was only entered in February 2020, after the matter made it all the way to the Supreme Court following

numerous appeals from both parties due to procedural issues around how the charges were laid and set-out in the first instance. After drawn out negotiations, Talley’s eventually pleaded guilty to one charge of failing to take all practicable steps to ensure the safety of its employee contrary to the Health and Safety in Employment Act. The victim, Te Atatu Hemi, was paralysed after a bulk bin being carried by a forklift fell on her. The sentencing hearing opened on Monday with Hemi reading her victim impact statement to the court.

Following the incident she spent two days in hospital followed by three months at the Burwood Spinal Unit. She told the court she still suffers pain in the nerves in her legs, suffers occasional spasms that throw her from her wheelchair and incontinence due to having no feeling from the mid-torso down. “I have always worked hard to provide for my whanau, I dreamed of buying my own house and travelling,” she said. “I dreamed of seeing the pyramids, but I won’t be able to do that.” Hemi told the court of how her injuries

have impacted on her day-to-day life, leaving her unable to do the everyday tasks she would have previously, and making spending time with her friends and family a struggle. She also told the court she felt the leaders of the company had made her feel like she was not important, and that other staff and the company cared more about her, and that she now worries about them.

Muller resignation sends shockwaves through district By Susan Sandys

Left – Todd Muller addresses media at the Hotel Ashburton last Wednesday, yesterday he announced he was stepping down as the National Party leader.

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Todd Muller’s resignation as National Party leader yesterday sent shockwaves through the party’s Mid Canterbury support base. Less than one week after Muller visited the district and spoke in front of more than 400 at a public meeting at Hotel Ashburton, he announced his resignation yesterday. “It is more important than ever that the New Zealand National Party has a leader who is comfortable in the role. The role has taken a heavy toll on me personally, and on my family, and this has become untenable from a health perspective,” Muller said in a statement. “I intend to take some time out of the spotlight to spend with family and restore my energy before reconnecting with my community,” he said. “I look forward to continuing to serve as a loyal member of the National Party team and Member of Parliament for Bay of Plenty.” Dromore farmer and party member Chris Ford said the resignation was a shock, particularly following last week’s successful Ashburton meeting. “There was some good policy, there was some good comments, it was a very positive meeting,” Ford said. He gave the departing leader his best wishes and hoped he took time to sort anything he needed to. “It’s very sad, National members and supporters, they need some good stories and they need some real momentum going forward. Hopefully the new leader

can give us that going forward.” Ford said it was not for him to say who the new leader should be, but as a National Party member he would support whoever was chosen. National Party stalwart Gwen Clucas of Ashburton said she had also been impressed by Muller at last week’s meeting. She had known him for many years and he had always stood out as an impressive politician. While his resignation had been a surprise, she was confident the party had the talent required to replace him. “I’m sure we have the depth of people there, but it’s just getting over this bump I think,” Clucas said. She said she thought it might be Judith Collins’ time, she was

an experienced politician who had survived many ups and downs. Clucas would also not be unhappy if Amy Adams was chosen as leader, while she considered Mark Mitchell as a wildcard showing promise. Former Jenny Shipley campaign manager and long time party member Noel Lowe also thought Judith Collins could be a good replacement as she had “mileage under her belt” and was a strong person of principle. He believed the party would struggle to win the election in the face of not only leadership woes, but also the popularity of the Labour Party for its handling of the pandemic. “It’s caused a massive amount of debt, that’s where we need

good management from now onwards,” Lowe said. Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon, who last night was among National Party caucus members meeting in Wellington to discuss the way forward, said he felt for Muller and his family. “I know it would have been a hard call to make, but ultimately you need to consider your health and well-being,” Falloon said. “Being constantly in the public and media eye does take a toll. In the next couple of days we’ll be selecting a new leader, and as part of that my focus will be on ensuring that issues in districts like ours are front of mind during the election campaign.”

PROMPT

Prosecution ‘epically’ long From P1 WorkSafe’s principal legal advisor, Barbarella McCarthy, led the sentencing, describing the case as having an “epically long history”, telling the court that both parties had come to an agreement on the emotional harm payment and consequential loss payments. The only points she differed with Talley’s, and their lawyer Jonathon Eaton QC, were the fine and discounts that should be applied. Both parties agreed that the offending fell within the middle band of culpability that fines must be set against, but Eaton argued the fine starting point should be $40,000, while McCarthy argued it should be in the $70,000 range. This was the last WorkSafe prosecution to take place under previous health and safety legislation, which meant the maximum legal costs that could be sought were $56, which Talley’s did not oppose. Both parties had agreed that $40,000 was an appropriate emotional harm payment, but Judge Phillips questioned if that sum was big enough. “My initial reaction was ‘what?’,” Phillips said. “I accept what is being said, but I just can’t come to grips logically, if she had died the payment would be much more and that doesn’t make sense.” Judge Phillips elected to reserve his decision to give himself time to fully assess the submissions of both parties, which filled a folder around 150mm thick. “As you may be aware I have been given a substantial amount of information by two highly experienced adversaries,” he said. “I need to consider a decision properly and doing it orally in a rushed way would not be appropriate.”

Mt Hutt summit valley has potential for new skier terrain By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Busy days at Mt Hutt are potentially bringing the skifield closer to a long-term dream of opening up new terrain behind the skifield’s summit. Other projects on the wish list include replacing the 30-yearold quad chairlift with a modern eight-seater detachable chairlift, as well as sealing the access road and replacing the base lodge. Manager James McKenzie said skiers were getting more savvy and visiting midweek, avoiding peak times at weekends. This means that in a week the ski area would see more people, but at peak times there were no more than in the past. If the skiers kept coming as they were this year, and the high level of interest was retained, it would ultimately support the realisation of the ski area’s long-term planned projects. He said the ski area, in its most recent concession negotiations with the Department of Conservation, had been able to include additional terrain in the valley in front of North Peak and behind the skifield’s summit at the top of the Summit Six. He said either two chairlifts or one chairlift with a mid-station could service the valley well. However, the skifield was some way away from realising any such plans, particularly with other projects on the wish list such as sealing the access road, replacing or extending the base lodge and replacing the quad chairlift. “This season is going really well,

Baptism by fire for owners By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

It was baptism by fire for Ashburton New World owners Jeremy and Emma Rooney when they took over the supermarket in February. They were not to know a worldwide pandemic was on their doorstep, and soon supermarkets would be thrown into the frontline. The couple bought the business on February 29, after having operated it over the previous 18 months. The joyful arrival of new baby Oscar came soon after, on March 13, but their third child was not even two weeks old when the country went into lockdown. Panic buying began prior, a challenge they met thanks to strong supply lines at Foodstuffs and loyal and hardworking staff. “We had no warning, and you had no idea when it was going to end,” Jeremy said. Lockdown brought a whole new set of rules around restricted numbers indoors and hygiene protocols. “The last thing we wanted was to have people queuing out in the cold, but it was a necessary evil of being able to remain open,” Jeremy said. And remaining open was something the Rooneys never took for granted. “Because no one had ever been through anything like this before, we were all learning as we went, so in the first few days of the lockdown we were changing things daily, and staff were so adaptable.” They ensured staff in vari-

Jack Frost visits The mercury plummeted in Ashburton yesterday morning, welcoming Jack Frost to the town. Temperatures dipped as low as minus 2.4°C, at 8am, according to the MetService. This followed a low of minus 0.4°C on Monday, and it was the lowest minimum for a whole month, after Ashburton recorded minus 4.4°C on June 14.

One new Covid case There was one new case of Covid-19 in New Zealand yesterday, the Ministry of Health announced. In a statement, the Ministry said yesterday’s case is a woman in her 60s, who arrived in New Zealand on June 30, from Pakistan via Doha and Sydney. She has been in managed isolation at the Novotel in Christchurch, and tested negative at her first test around day 3 of her stay, then tested positive around day 12 of her stay in isolation. The ministry said the case emphasises why people need to be tested twice during their time in managed isolation. The case brings New Zealand’s total number of confirmed cases to 1195.

ous departments were working at differently timed shifts, so if one department was affected by Covid-19 it would minimise the isolation requirements. “That was one of the scariest things at the start, how do you protect the staff, it was vital that we protected them,” Emma said. Now the Rooneys are looking back on a very eventful 2020, facing a bright future in the supermarket business as they

raise their three children, Oscar, and big brothers Archer, 5 and Beau, 2. “When we signed up, we never thought that was going to happen, but if you go through that you can go through anything,” Jeremy said. They are seeing increased application levels for positions; as an example they recently received eight quality applications for a butchery department role compared to the two

to three they would normally receive. Ashburton New World employs 180 people across a diverse range of roles in store. The Rooneys feel grateful to be operating in a strong community such as Ashburton, evidenced recently by the huge success of foodbank appeals supported by the store. “We certainly felt the love from the community while we were in lockdown, and our staff did too,” Emma said.

■■ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

Grandmother on third drink driving charge A woman who admitted to drinking all day then driving to take a friend to the airport has been convicted of her third drink driving charge. Carol Nola Robin appeared before Judge Kevin Phillips in the Ashburton District Court on Monday on one charge of driving with excess breath alcohol third or subsequent. She was stopped by police on Maronan Road at 11.30pm on March 12 in a routine traffic stop. She was breath tested and returned a result of 448mcg of alcohol per litre of breath. The legal limit is 250mcg. She told police she had been drinking all day before dropping people off at the airport. She was previously convicted of drink driving in 1977 and 2008. Despite her lawyer Marilyn Gilchrist saying she would be able to pay a fine, Judge Phillips said the fact Robin was on an invalid benefit meant that would not be possible, and that a sentence of community work would have to be imposed. He sentenced her to 90 hours’

of community work and disqualified her from driving for one year. A man who has repeatedly driven when he should not over the years will have to complete 180 hours of community work. Christopher Joel Allan was stopped by police just one day after his licence was suspended in January.

It was his fifth such offence. He told police he had needed to drive as he was moving house, and had made that clear to the officer who gave him his suspension notice the day earlier. Judge Phillips sentenced him to 80 hours of community work, and in lieu of a further disqualification of his licence, Phillips added a further 100 hours of community work to his sen-

Another man who has a history of driving while disqualified will have to complete 160 hours of community work. Eloni Ngu appeared before Judge Phillips for sentence on one charge of driving while disqualified, with his lawyer Marilyn Gilchrist making a section 94 application to convert any further disqualification to community work. Judge Phillips granted the application and ordered him to complete 80 hours of community work for the charge, and a further 80 hours in lieu of the further disqualification.

‘Difficult to contain’ Steven Wallace, shot dead by police in 2000, was acting erratically and it would have been difficult for three officers to contain him, an officer who was first on the scene says. In April 2000, Steven Wallace was shot dead by Senior Constable Keith Abbott, who was later acquitted of murder after a private prosecution. Wallace had walked down Waitara’s main street using a golf club to smash shop windows, a taxi and then a patrol car with officers inside. The Wallace family believes Steven Wallace was deprived of the right to life and have taken a civil case against the police. Jason Dombroski, now a detective sergeant, was one of the first at the scene and told the court Wallace was in a volatile state and officers were thinking fast on their feet.

ECEs struggling Many early childhood centres are struggling because thousands of children are staying away. About 40,000 children – 20 per cent of under-fives – have not returned to early learning after lockdown, the Early Childhood Council says. With fewer enrolments, centres get less income and some have too few children to be sustainable. Darius Singh, of Chrysalis Early Learning Centres in Auckland and Tauranga, said up to 5 per cent of children might normally be away during winter because of sickness, but about 30 per cent were now not coming in.

Pacific bubble The Cook Islands government expects to confirm a “travel bridge” with New Zealand in the next week. The concept would allow people to travel between the two countries freely, and follows a meeting between Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and her counterpart Henry Puna on Monday night. Cook Islands Deputy Prime Minister Mark Brown says there’s a desperate need for tourism in the country.

■■COVID-19

Government to issue new testing guidance to GPs The government is set to issue new Covid-19 testing guidelines for GPs and others from yesterday, Health Minister Chris Hipkins has said. Speaking from the Jet Park hotel quarantine facility, Hipkins said there were 244 returnees at the facility. “I do want to acknowledge all the staff that are working here,” he said. He confirmed one additional case of Covid-19 had been detected in managed isolation in the past 24 hours. A total 1620 tests were conducted Monday, he said, and the government would be issuing new guidance on testing to GPs and others yesterday. He noted the number of tests tended to drop in the school holidays as well as at weekends, but said there was no room for complacency which was why the government wanted to see testing numbers come back up. “It’s highly likely that there are enough people out there with flu-like symptoms or in at-risk demographics who are looking for a testing, that we won’t have to do anything around mandatory testing.” There was a big surge in testing about two weeks ago, which gave confidence that if there had been any Covid-19 out there, some evidence of that would have been seen, he said. “We want to ensure we’re providing good robust testing for anybody who is in that higher risk category but then we also want to make sure that we’re maintaining a good sound base level of testing in the community to be sure that if there’s any Covid-19 out there, that we’re picking it up.” The New Zealand government was also speaking to realm countries about when

travel between them could resume, he said, and was still continuing to talk to Australia about when trans-Tasman travel might resume on a safe basis. “Nobody in New Zealand wants to be responsible for any increase in risk in the Cooks Islands and the Pacific.” Hipkins yesterday said Cabinet would next week be considering the possibility of charging for managed isolation. “With all of these things we have to do the right thing for New Zealand, and what’s right within New Zealand law.” He also confirmed Monday that people in managed isolation facilities had access to mental health support and primary healthcare. This week it was revealed that deportations of New Zealanders from Australia, suspended because of the Covid-19 outbreak, was resuming with a dedicated facility set up for their 14-day managed isolation. Hipkins told RNZ’s Morning Report Monday the government was against the deportations but Australia was within the law to do it. Hipkins has confirmed the deportees had arrived in Auckland, and said they had been taken to a hotel with extra security and checked in. He said the feedback was that the group deported from Australia had been very co-operative and was following the rules. He said everybody working at the airport was also taking precautionary measures on the basis that anyone interacting with them may have Covid-19. The minister in charge of managed isolation, Megan Woods, said there would be a pause after the first group to see how it went.

Searches carried out by police following the Christchurch mosque attacks have been deemed unlawful by the Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA). They were part of an operation targeting people of interest to national security after the March 15 attacks last year. The IPCA said says the searches generated a number of complaints and of those it investigated, three were found to be unlawful. Canterbury District Commander John Price said police acknowledged the findings on the legal powers of search and seizure in two of the three cases, and would be looking to work with the authority to seek a solution. “These searches were part of a significant national security operation, conducted in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on two Christchurch mosques,” Price said. “I am confident that the officers involved in these three searches were acting with the best of intentions, and were absolutely focused on mitigating risk and preventing further harm in our community.” Police had formally apologised to those involved, he said.

EDITOR

A week is a long time in politics

week ago Todd Muller stood in front of more than 300 Mid Cantabrians and delivered a dream. A dream for not only his party – but a dream he believed was one all New Zealanders could buy into and get excited about. Now, Muller is gone. The leader of the opposition’s announcement yesterday morning, that he would be stepping down from the role, just underlined how brutally tough the politics game can be and how mentally taxing it is on individuals, especially those in the spotlight as much as a position like that demands. At every turn, someone wants to knock you down and there’s not a lot of regard as to how it’s done. It’s the most prolific avenue in which bullying is clearly evident with some of the behaviour portrayed and the manner in which people are spoken about, extremely difficult to understand. At the end of the day though, these are just normal people. Sure, they’ve put themselves into the spotlight by choosing a career path that’s led them to the Beehive but, just like you, me or the man down the street, they are still humans. They bleed just like we do, cry just like we do, and feel the pang of anger every time someone says something negative towards them. And so it’s understandable that it can take a toll on people’s health and wellbeing and ultimately lead toward decisions like that delivered yesterday. What is odd is, that at a time when there is so much focus on mental health and doing our best by our fellow man and woman, that the political field is often disregarded and treated as a subject in which anything goes. Public hatred, slandering and vicious behaviour is evident in everyday life towards politicians and the government, yet we allow it for some reason. Yes, the position demands questioning and challenging, but there’s no reason for it to get personal and nasty as it currently does. It’s a tough gig, but it’s made even tougher by the manner in which a large portion of our population show no regard to their fellow human and perhaps it’s time to start talking about that.

Hibernating I

feel like hibernating! All this rain and dull skies – It’s like being in England. The oppressive, low, grey cloud; the consistent icy rain and complete absence of sun – it’s doing my head in! They call it Winter Blues or Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D. for short). Ugh, I can’t stand it! I’m not feeling motivated to do the most basic of things. Walking the dog feels like a cosmic mission. Jackets, thought to be water-proof, are proving to be untrustworthy. My gumboots have sprung an uncomfortable, unlocateable leak. It’s so maddeningly cold and drearily dark. My pooch loves it! She’s muddy, wet and smelly after the scramble outside, pure dog heaven. And poor dog-owner hell. Yes, I know, it’s lovely falling asleep to the soft sounds of rain on the roof, but waking to flat, grey drizzle is desperately depressing. Rain aside, it’s affecting my mood, my motivation, my outlook on things. I just want to curl up in a corner and not interact with anything or anyone – so not my normal self. I have nightmare memories

Sahera Laing LIFE COACH

of winter after winter, back in Blighty, having to drag myself through the cold, miserable months. We need sunlight or else we find we produce too much melatonin (which makes us sleepy and lethargic) and not enough serotonin, which brings on that heavy, low mood that feels a lot like depression. Sometimes we need a plan to get us organised to deal with the situation. Create a way to keep ourselves moving and doing a few things – a guide to keep us on track before we slide out of existence. Here is what I have so far: 1. Write a daily to-do list of some of the basic things I need to attend to and accomplish. That way, I feel I have done something useful with at least a small portion of my day. For example, send emails, reply to calls, and cook dinner. I’m looking to gain a few ‘wins’ in my day. 2. Pull out a decent cookbook.

Ditch the salads and cook good, wholesome winter foods. 3. Have friends over to help eat all the food cooked. 4. Tell my best friend I need her to boot me in the backside if I start to hide and hibernate too much. Offer to reciprocate. 5. Get geared up! Let’s go shopping. Woohooo! Must buy scuba gear equivalent of wet weather paraphernalia. New gummies, pretty umbrella, nice hat (suitable for monsoons), and jacket that is everything proof as well as toasty and warm! Ring a friend to join. Will get coffee and cake to celebrate shopping. Find doggie cologne (is there such a thing?) 6. With all of the new weather- appropriate gear, take the dog for a walk every morning before starting my day. Listen to music or podcasts to keep it interesting. 7. Grab a few good books from the library – there is nothing like snuggling in a blanket with a cocoa and a good book (might make it a mulled wine). A lovely way to hibernate. 8. Buy tickets to events (cinema, theatre, restaurant, etc) so I have to get my butt out the door on an evening and sup-

port art events in the current climate. 9. Book a personal trainer to get me out and to the gym. 10. Avoid beating myself up when it does feel like too much and give myself permission to pause on life and recuperate. 11. The minute the sun is out … GET OUT and soak it up. I guess when things are a bit tough on us, mentally and otherwise, having a plan to survive it is a good thing. After all, we have emergency plans in case of fire and earthquakes. We need plans for disastrous events and the winter blues … is a disastrous event. It is best to be prepared. I know when I feel like withdrawing and hiding away from all this damp, cold greyness it’s vital I step up and start taking care of myself. I’m not going to punish myself for not feeling hugely motivated, I prefer to gently nudge myself into action. And also appreciate that a little hibernating is alright. The sun will be back soon!

Phoenix to open return of A-League

Rosies Terror gets rolling The locally trained Rosies Terror (left) looks to make a move in race six at the Chertsey Trotting Club trials in the hands of Gerard O’Reilly. The three-year-old daughter of Terror To Love rolled to the front with around 1000m left to run and was strong to the line, just run down by John James Preston (right) who got a clear run up the passing lane after a quiet run throughout. A total of 14 races took place yesterday with the All Stars bringing another strong team from their Rolleston base. PHOTO JAIME PITT-MACKAY 140720-JPM-0008

■■NETBALL

Injuries hurting Southern Steel The Southern Steel will be hoping for the best but bracing for the worst when the results of Jen O’Connell’s scan comes back later this week. The Steel shooter fell awkwardly in the final minute of the game against the Pulse on Friday, her knee giving way. The anguish on her face spoke of the physical pain but also of knowing what it could mean for her season. Just two rounds earlier team-mate Georgia Heffernan went down with a knee injury before scans confirmed the worst and she was out for the rest of the season. ACL – the three letters that no netballer wants to hear at any level, but especially so in a professional environment, when months of work have gone into pre-season conditioning. If the scans confirm O’Connell has suffered the same fate, the Steel lose two-thirds of their shooting end at the halfway point of the season. While stretching and warm-ups might help to a degree, as long as we demand players be the best they can be, ACL and achilles injuries, will continue to be a reality of the game. The higher you jump and the quicker you can change direction, the more competitive you are, which puts players at risk of those injuries. Despite the loss, the Steel again pushed the Pulse and seem to be a team that can get under the skin of the defending champions. Round 5 Highlights Friday, Pulse beat Southern Steel 40-37 The Steel pushed the Central Pulse into some uncharacteristic errors, and led by one at the end of the first quarter. The Pulse seem to bring the best out of the bottom of the table Steel, with two of their best performances this season coming against the defending champs. Steel wing attack Gina Crampton seems to be getting better with every game, while her centre court partner Shannon Saunders had a great defensive game. Jen O’Connell’s court play was strong, but her

Jen O’Connell shooting accuracy was tested by Kelly Jury who picked up several deflections. The Pulse’s superior shooting accuracy allowed them to inch ahead of the Steel. Saturday, Northern Stars beat the Southern Steel 48-39 The Stars picked up their second win of the season but the Steel showed plenty of heart, given they had two rookies filling in at the shooting end in lieu of the injuries to Georgia Heffernan and Jen O’Connell. No one could have asked for more from Trinidad and Tobago import Kalifa McCollin, who took on a huge load, finishing with 27 from 29 at 93 per cent accuracy. The Stars weren’t able to shake the Steel, leading by just two going into the final quarter. But they learnt from their final quarter capitulation to the Magic the week before and put the screws on. Maia Wilson was accurate again for the Stars and well supported by Jamie Hume, who seems to be growing with each game. Sunday, Northern Stars beat Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic 45-43 The Stars started strongly, with defender Kate Burley turning over some flashy balls. The Stars led by five at halftime but the Magic fought back and went up by three goals

part way through the third quarter, thanks to some good takes from shooter Kelsey McPhee. Holly Fowler made life difficult for the Stars’ attackers. Oceane Maihi picked up some crucial turnovers for the Stars when she came on at goal keep for the final quarter. With just under a minute to go the Stars led by one but for the second week Silver Ferns’ hopeful Sam Winders grabbed a late turnover but the Magic shooters weren’t able to convert. Sunday, Mainland Tactix beat Northern Mystics 41-40 Coach Helene Wilson sprung a surprise by leaving shooting machine Grace Nweke out of her starting line-up. She wanted to add an element of surprise but the experiment lasted one quarter. Saviour Tui did an excellent job at goal shoot in that first quarter but she had to do all the shooting and couldn’t sustain that, with Asher Grapes acting more as a feeder. The Tactix led by two going into the final quarter but the Mystics showed how quickly they can score by putting on five unanswered goals in the last few minutes. Tui had the composure to score on the buzzer but was beaten by the clock by a mere second. Hopefully this loss doesn’t eventually cost the Mystics a place in the final for coach Helene Wilson’s sake. Monday, Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic and Mainland Tactix draw 46-all The final game of the round brought another welcome nail biter. The Magic made a strong start, with Georgia Tong getting her hand to a lot of ball in front of goal shooter Ellie Bird. The Tactix turned the tables to lead by three at the end of the first quarter and the scores were even at half time. Both wing attacks for either side had strong games – Whitney Souness and Erikana Pedersen, the eventual MVP. Sam Winders played some of her best netball, whether it be at centre or wing defence. The margin was close the whole game and a draw seemed fitting but the fancied Tactix will be concerned they haven’t been able to get consecutive wins so far this season.

The League was originally scheduled to resume after a four month hiatus on Thursday with a game between Melbourne Victory and Western United. With the three Melbourne teams now in quarantine at a hub in western Sydney because of the outbreak of Covid-19 in Melbourne, the league was forced to rejig the schedule. “We have faced many challenges over the past week since we released the original match schedule and it will need a few tweaks to reschedule the Melbourne teams considering their relocation to Sydney,” FFA Head of Leagues Greg O’Rourke said in a statement. The league is attempting to jam the final 27 regular season matches into four weeks, with the grand final championship decider planned for August 23. Ensuring the season resumes smoothly has been a chore for the FFA, who were caught off guard when New South Wales authorities closed the state border with Victoria last week leaving the three Melbourne teams stuck until they received travel exemptions on Friday. The Melbourne teams are confined to a hotel in western Sydney and were tested on Monday after a player showed Covid-19 symptoms over the weekend, local broadcaster SBS reported. If all test results come back negative, they will be cleared to train. The A-League will have limits on game-day crowds to mitigate infection risks. A crowd of 4500 have been permitted for the Central Coast Mariners’ clash with Perth Glory at their home in Gosford, north of Sydney. “Our members have been so important for us and so supportive during this time, and it’s fantastic that they can attend our first match back,” Mariners CEO Shaun Mielekamp said. The third placed Phoenix are scheduled to play their last six regular season games in 24 days.

Barbarians bulldozed The Ashburton Barbarians continue to hunt for their first season win in the rugby league’s Canterbury Cup. The side were eventually dispatched 32-14 by the Burnham Chevaliers at Coronation Park on Saturday following a tight beginning to the game by both teams. It was the second meeting between the two clubs after Burnham edged the Mid Cantabrians by four last month. The Barbarians scored three tries in the rematch, however it was not enough as Burnham racked up seven tries on the afternoon including doubles to wing Fili Otufangavulu and centre James Hamilton. The Barbarians are away again this weekend when they meet the fourth-placed Halswell Hornets in Christchurch. PHOTO ROBYN HOOD 270620-RH

South Auckland base for Pasifika super rugby side A Pacific Islands Super Rugby team based in South Auckland is gaining traction. A group of former All Blacks, including two-time World Cup winner Jerome Kaino, are behind the establishment of the first professional rugby union team in Hawaii. Kanaloa Hawaii has had its bid to join America’s Major League Rugby confirmed and is now in talks with New Zealand Rugby about joining a revamped Super Rugby competition. It would be a separate team to the one that will play in the US, and would be based in South Auckland. Kaino and fellow former All Blacks Joe Rokocoko, John Afoa, Benson Stanley, Anthony Tuitavake and Ben Atiga are in the Kanaloa Hawaii ownership group. All have either Samoan, Tongan or Fijian heritage. “Creating an even playing field for Polynesians and Maori to get on the world stage, and the impact you have on the people back home is enormous,” Kaino said. “You end up finding out that rugby is more than a game.” “That’s what it means to us. To be able to create a legacy and create something

special to pass on to the next generation ... and show what our little nations can do on the world stage.” The chief executive of Kanaloa Hawaii, Tracy Atiga, told RNZ Pacific, said they have already had discussions with New Zealand Rugby about the possibility of joining a new-look Super Rugby tournament. New Zealand Rugby is currently examining the future make up of Super Rugby and the international Rugby Championship, with its Aratipu report due to go to the board next week. “We would essentially set up our satellite programme, which is here in south Auckland, to accommodate a second team,” said Atiga. “So we are not talking about one team that plays in the MLR and then they come and play in Super Rugby – we are talking about two pro teams that would have equally competitive athletes at that level and we would own and operate them in co-ordination with each other,” she said. Former All Blacks and Wallabies skills coach Mick Byrne would be head coach with former All Black Tamati Ellison assistant coach.

The NFL’s Washington team has announced it will retire its Redskins name and logo in a decision made after sponsors stepped up pressure to scrap it. The franchise has used the name since 1933 but has long been criticised as racist by Native American rights groups. Team owner Dan Snyder, who bought the franchise in 1999, had previously said he would never change the name but softened his stance after FedEx Corp, which owns the naming rights to the team’s suburban stadium in Landover, Maryland, urged the NFL club to rebrand. The team said on July 3 it would conduct a thorough review of the club’s name. “Today, we are announcing we will be retiring the Redskins name and logo upon completion of this review,” the team said in a statement. The team did not provide a time line for when the review would be completed. Its statement did not specify a reason for the name change. Critics have ramped up pressure on the team to change its name, which is widely seen as a racial slur against Native Americans, amid the nationwide reckoning on racism and police brutality triggered by the May 25 death of a Black man, George Floyd, in police custody in Minneapolis. In June, a group of more than 80 socially minded investment firms, collectively with more than $943 billion in assets under

management, urged FedEx, Nike Inc and PepsiCo Inc to terminate relationships with the team unless it changed its name. PepsiCo and Nike both followed FedEx’s lead and said they welcomed the call for a review of the team’s name. The team that became the Washington Redskins was founded in 1932 as the Boston Braves. Its name was changed to the Redskins the following year and it moved to Washington in 1937. Many American professional and collegiate sports teams have nicknames on Native American themes. Snyder and Ron Rivera, the team’s new head coach, “are working closely to develop a new name and design approach that will enhance the standing of our proud, tradition rich franchise and inspire our sponsors, fans and community for the next 100 years,” the team said. The team has won three Super Bowls and is one of the NFL’s marquee franchises, ranked by Forbes last September as the league’s seventh most valuable franchise at $5.2 billion. In June, a memorial to the team’s founding owner, George Preston Marshall, who fought against the racial integration of the National Football League, was removed from RFK Stadium, the team’s former home in Washington. The NFL did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the team’s announcement.

Man City overturn two-year ban Manchester City have successfully overturned their two-year ban from European club competitions. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) announced the club were cleared of “disguising equity funds as sponsorship contributions”. Uefa issued the ban in February after ruling City had committed “serious breaches” of Financial Fair Play regulations between 2012 and 2016. City’s fine has been cut from 30m euros ($NZ51.7m) to 10m euros. In delivering the ruling, Cas said City did “fail to co-operate with Uefa authorities” but overturned the decision by Uefa’s club financial control body (CFCB) to ban them. City said the decision was “validation of the club’s position and the body of evidence that it was able to present”. “The club wishes to thank the panel members for their diligence and the due process that they administered,” City added. Cas’ ruling means City, who are guaranteed to finish second in the Premier League this season, will play in the 2020-21 Champions League. In this year’s competition, Pep Guardiola’s side face Real Madrid in their last-16 second leg at Etihad Stadium on August 7. They lead 2-1 from the first leg and will face Juventus or Lyon if they progress. The Cas statement continued: “The award emphasised that most of the alleged breaches reported by the adjudicatory cham-

ber of the CFCB were either not established or time-barred. “As the charges with respect to any dishonest concealment of equity funding were clearly more significant violations than obstructing the CFCB’s investigations, it was not appropriate to impose a ban on participating in Uefa’s club competitions for Manchester City’s failure to co-operate with the CFCB’s investigations alone.” On reducing the fine, Cas said that, while it considered “the importance of the co-operation of clubs in investigations conducted by the CFCB” and Manchester City’s “disregard of such principle

and its obstruction of the investigations”, the Cas panel “considered it appropriate to reduce Uefa’s initial fine by two-thirds”. It added: “The final award with reasons will be published on the Cas website in a few days.” Uefa said it noted there was “insufficient conclusive evidence to uphold all of the CFCB’s conclusions in this specific case and that many of the alleged breaches were time-barred”. The governing body added: “Over the last few years, Financial Fair Play has played a significant role in protecting clubs and helping them become financially sustainable and Uefa and the Eu-

ropean Club Association remain committed to its principles.” What were City accused of? Uefa launched an investigation after German newspaper Der Spiegel published leaked documents in November 2018 alleging City had inflated the value of a sponsorship deal, misleading European football’s governing body. Reports alleged City – who have always denied wrongdoing – deliberately misled Uefa so they could meet FFP rules requiring clubs to break even. On February 14, the independent adjudicatory chamber of the CFCB said City had broken the rules by “overstating its sponsor-

ship revenue in its accounts and in the break-even information submitted to Uefa between 2012 and 2016”. It added that City had “failed to co-operate in the investigation”. City, who have been owned by Sheikh Mansour since 2008, were fined £49m in 2014 for a previous breach of regulations. What was City’s case? City failed in an initial bid to have Cas halt Uefa’s investigation in November last year. After the two-year ban was announced, City said the process that led to it was “flawed” and “prejudicial” and immediately announced their intention to appeal. They alleged they had been the victim of an illegal hack by people who had the express intention of damaging their reputation and that the emails were being used as the basis for reports which were being taken out of context. City also believed the CFCB was not independent and ended up being distrustful of it, partly because of the amount of secretive information the club felt was leaked to the media. What next? Uefa could appeal against the decision in the Swiss federal courts. It is unlikely that any such appeal would be heard before the 2020-21 Champions League starts. The Premier League could have looked to take action as well if the ban had been upheld because their own FFP rules are similar – but not exactly the same – as Uefa’s.

■■RUGBY LEAGUE

Another big week ahead for the Warriors The Warriors face the latest hurdle in their extraordinary National Rugby League season this week with the deadline approaching for their families to join them across the Tasman. Two weeks ago the Warriors told NRL bosses Peter V’Landys and Andrew Abdo that they had until July 19 to make progress with getting exemptions for families to travel to Australia. If the NRL could not deliver, Warriors interim coach Todd Payten said at the time that any players wanting to leave the Warriors’ Central Coast base to return to New Zealand were free to do so. Ken Maumalo, David Fusitu’a, Agnatius Pasi and King Vuniyayawa have all indicated they would head home to be with their families. Abdo will meet with the Warriors players today to discuss exemptions for families but Abdo told 2GB radio that the exemptions had not yet been received. “Of course it’s a large squad, the players within that squad are human beings and have unique circumstances,” Abdo told 2GB’s Continuous Call. “We haven’t been able to bring all of the families across, there’s about 12 players who haven’t been able to bring their families across and that’s because we can’t get the exemption that we need.

Todd Payten “Some of the players have personal circumstances which are causing strain, we respect that and are working with them again on a daily basis and we’ll look at oth-

er ways to support the squad up in Terrigal. “At this stage, they’re incredibly positive, the large majority of the squad are in a situation that we believe is sustainable and we

have to deal with the individual players and their circumstances as they come up.” Speaking after the Warriors’ 16-12 loss to the Gold Coast Titans on Friday night, Payten confirmed the players who had considered leaving were all still expected to exit. Lock Isaiah Papali’i doesn’t believe the issue will have a major affect on the team as a whole this week. “I think it’s more for them (the four players) to be worrying about it rather than us as a team because I guess we’ve got to keep moving forward no matter what happens really so we’re just going to support the boys with making that decision and primarily focus on Sunday’s game (against the Sharks). In a media conference on Monday Papali’i was asked if the four do head home, how tough would it be for the rest of the team. “This whole year has been a bit funny with things being up and down everywhere so obviously its another obstacle in the road but I guess we’ll sit down if it does happen and put it all out there and then try and move on as quickly as we can.” Prior to leaving for Australia two months ago, the players had only agreed to make the move if the NRL could assure them that their families would be able to be based in Australia too.

Ashburton Guardian 13

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You can capitalise on the special connection you have with your fellow fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) today, especially in a social or professional sense. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): The flip side becomes a real possibility today. Relationships change suits; platonic relationships could turn romantic or professional or something else entirely as a fresh need inspires different behaviours. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The famous Dr. Martin Luther King speech says, “I have a dream.” What it didn’t say is, “I have money,” nor, “I have a plan.” Focus on the vision. It’s the most important part now. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Because someone was forward enough to ask for the moon, you now get your slice of it. It’s time to join the big thinkers and rule breakers again. A better future hangs in the balance. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Indecision throttles creativity. When you make up your mind to make up your mind, the result will be change in rapid succession. Life will fuse with imagination. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The theme is: enjoying the ordinary. Chores are pleasant exercise. Errands are a chance to connect with the people in your neighbourhood. All is running smoothly, something to appreciate. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’ll sense that there’s something new on the horizon and won’t wait around for others to educate you about it. You’ll read up, ask around and figure out what you need to know to get to the next place. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Don’t punish yourself for having strong feelings of affection. They are inconvenient, but in a sense, you depend on your affection. Feeling tenderness and want of another person makes you more alive, more human. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You doubt the judgment of others, even when their judgment is liking you very much – especially then, actually. Your doubt is ridiculous, but your modesty is better than any other alternative. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): When it feels like you’re running against the wind, stop, turn around and put up a sail. It’s scary to go where life blows you because you can’t see the place you’re going yet. You will love it there. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): There are varieties of silence. Some are heavy and some float. There are silences that smile and silences that glow. You can fall in love with a certain kind of silence. Today will bring you a sample platter. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The sacred will call you near. You’ll know it by its feeling, which will be hard to miss. The poet Wendell Berry writes, “There are no unsacred places; there are only sacred places and desecrated places.”

Phoenix kicks off league

Wakanui escape with a draw

Wakanui’s Gretal Tavendale gets low during the side’s divison two showdown with Roncalli’s 1st XI. By Adam Burns

adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

Two second half goals have helped Wakanui snatch a draw in division two women’s hockey. The side dragged itself from the brink to a 3-3 result against Roncalli’s 1st XI in Ashburton on Sunday, having trailed the South Cantabrians by two goals twice in the fixture. It was a quiet weekend of hockey in Mid Canterbury but that did not prevent the thrilling ebb and flow at the NBS Turf for the divi-

sion two encounter. Roncalli raced out to an early 2-0 lead before Wakanui pulled one back, The visitors then restored a two-goal lead, which should have killed off Wakanui’s chances. However, Wakanui proceeded to score twice to escape with a fortuitous draw. Goals were scored for the home side by Honor Bradford, Holly Jayne-Feutz and Angel Spooner. The result means the Mid Canterbury club retains its third place

position in the South Canterbury Hockey division two ladder, four points behind Tinwald who had the bye at the weekend. Two of the three division two games were defaulted resulting in Cambridge displacing Tinwald at the top of the table and Temuka getting off the competition mark. Timaru Girls’ High School’s 2nd XI had its first win of the season beating Craighead’s 2nd XI 3-1 in Timaru. Wakanui have the bye this weekend while Tinwald is back in action

as it faces Craighead in Ashburton on Sunday. Mid Canterbury premier grades also return this weekend. The unbeaten Wakanui meet Hampstead/Wakanui in 1st grade men’s hockey on Sunday followed by a match-up between second place Tinwald Orange and Allenton. It will be a battle of the bottom two earlier in the day as Hampstead/Lowcliffe and Tinwald Black both strive for competition points. The women’s competition re-

Wakanui’s table-topping men’s division one outfit host the Northern Hearts in Ashburton on Saturday. The club’s female divison one counterparts are also unbeaten and host Timaru Girls’ High School’s 1st XI in the earlier game.
