Discovery leads to emotional reunion By Heather Mackenzie

The power of Facebook played a big hand in reuniting Cath Carr with her lost ring. Losing any jewellery is bad enough, but when Carr noticed her engagement ring of nearly 50 years was no longer on her finger she was devastated. For over nine days the sleep-deprived and full of dread Carr searched everywhere. She cleaned out every cupboard, re-dug the garden, searched pot plants, called the police and tried to mentally retrace her steps. But like Pooh looking for honey, the more she looked, the more it wasn’t there. Then at 11pm last Tuesday night a phone call gave the frantic Carr a glimmer of hope. One of her friends who knew she was
missing a ring, saw a post on the Four Square Netherby Facebook page about one being found. “She apologised for calling so late, but she wanted me to know as soon as possible that it may have been found.” Carr, hopeful that it was her ring, but fearing disappointment if it wasn’t, set out to Four Square Netherby the next morning. Fear quickly turned to elation when store owner Shaun McFadden handed over a small plastic bag containing her ring. McFadden said the girls found it behind the counter and after a few days his wife Taryn put on their Facebook page they had found a ring. When Carr came to the shop she said she was so emotional it was hard for her to get the words out to describe it, McFadden said.
Knowing it was obviously hers, he handed it over and the emotional Carr promptly burst into tears. McFadden said they have had many standout moments in the shop over the years and this was another to add to the collection. “It was so humbling and heart-warming to see how much it meant to her to get it back,” he said. Gratitude was also extended to her late night caller friend. Not being on social media herself, Carr said without her call she could have remained despondently unaware of its location. “I only told a couple of friends it was missing and one of them just happened to see it on Facebook. What a coincidence, I am over the moon to have it back.” The ring is now going back in its box and will not be taken out again, Carr said.

Pipeline heads its way across river By Sue Newman
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
It’s a multi-million dollar project that will ensure Ashburton’s waste water can be disposed of safely well into the future. And it’s a project that has involved diverting the Ashburton River and relocating fish. It’s tested engineering skills to the limit as a pipeline was laid deep beneath the Ashburton River without compromising the water quality of that river. The Covid-19 lockdown might have cost it time, but by the end of this month the expensive Three Waters project will be 22 per cent completed. All up it will come with a $3.5 million price tag for constructing the 670 metre pipeline under the river with another $4.2 million added for the construction of a pumping station at Wilkins Road. The pumping station will take waste water from the pipeline to the Wilkins Road wastewater treatment facility. It’s a project where rigorous testing is carried out at every stage, Ashburton District Council projects and operations manager Shaymal Ram told district councillors at Thursday’s briefing meeting. Every joint in the pipeline is tested and that involves crawling inside the 1 metre diameter pipe buried, in places, up to 6.8 metres below the surface of the river bed. This pipe connects to a 750mm pipe at the northern end. A large
manhole has also been created at this end and this will eventually be the attachment point for Ashburton’s new relief sewer. Contractors Seipp Construction are more than halfway across the river with the new pipe. Work started in November and is due for completion in December this year. While the river channels have been diverted to allow the pipe to be laid, regular pumping was
needed to keep the work area dry, Ram said. River water is one factor, but controlling the water table underground was also a major issue and this required water to be pumped out of the work area and stored in a settling pond before being returned to the river, he said. “When we came back here at Level 3 it had become like a giant swimming pool and it took a full
day to pump out and dry the site.” To date more than 1100 metres of sheet piles have been dug into the riverbed to help control the flow of water and allow for the pipeline’s installation. The pump station at the southern end is a giant chamber, 10 metres deep. Its base layer is 600 mllimetres thick and it is large enough for 23 people to work in at the same time.
Councillor Stuart Wilson who chairs the council’s infrastructure committee described as impressive the technical skill involved in keeping the river flowing and protecting fish and birds while the work was under way. “Significant infrastructure upgrades like this are important to support our community and encourage growth in the years ahead,” he said.
Ashburton laboratory, radiology buildings ‘in poor shape’ By Susan Sandys
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Canterbury District Health Board facilities in Ashburton were among those assessed in a recent asset management programme undertaken by the Ministry of Health. Both the Ashburton Laboratory and Pharmacy, built 1990, and the Ashburton Radiology and Patient Records, also built 1990, were considered to have poor combined condition and opera-
bility scores. However, executive lead facilities management and executive director of nursing Mary Gordon said the buildings were seismically safe and any asbestos had been removed or managed. “They have a current Building Warrant of Fitness and any maintenance issues are addressed as necessary. An upgrade of the pharmacy has been completed since the assessment was done,” she said.
Gordon’s emailed response did not include information for when an upgrade of the other facilities might be completed. The National Asset Management Programme (NAMP) for District Health Boards – The Current-State Assessment was released by the Ministry of Health last week. It revealed many intensive care units, operating theatres and emergency departments are in “poor or very poor” shape.

Government has put the fix-it bill at $14 billion over the next decade. As well as seismic safety and asbestos, buildings were rated for their building components including fabric, electrical and mechanical, and operability including risks for passive fire separation. Any building scoring higher than 3.0 had components with significant issues, and the lab and pharmacy scored 3.4, while the
radiology and records scored 3.1. Ashburton Hospital site-wide infrastructure and buildings were not included in the NAMP expert assessment as it did not meet the criticality criteria. Christchurch hospitals were found to have major flaws in electrical infrastructure, a poorly performing water system and sprinklers to sub-par fire protection, as well as concerns over asbestos and seismically inadequate cladding panels.

Warmer temps, snow follows frosts By Susan Sandys
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Frosty mornings are giving way to warmer temperatures before snow at Mt Hutt from Thursday. Mt Hutt was on a scheduled closed day yesterday, but would have been closed anyway due to strong winds. The nor’west influence kept Methven frost-free, while Ashburton had its third frost in a row. Children walking to school in Ashburton made the most of the conditions, sliding their feet along icy footpaths. MetService data shows the air temperature hit its minimum at 9am in the town, of 0.7 degrees. This followed a particularly cold Sunday morning, when Ashburton’s air temperature plummeted to a low of minus 4.4 degrees, following minus 2.4 degrees on Saturday. MetService meteorologist Tahlia Crabtree said high pressure, dry air, and clear skies had combined to bring the
frosts, and some Otago towns saw their coldest June temperatures on record. Winter was set to “flip the switch” this week, as a rainy front moved up the South Island yesterday. The air with the current strong nor’west front was warmer than typical and overnight minimums would be above average. Ashburton’s overnight minimum last night was set to be a balmy six degrees, while it will be seven tonight. The maximum temperature is in the late teens until Thursday, when there will be a stark southerly change. Snow is likely for alpine areas, but especially for the northern Canterbury High Country and about the Kaikoura Ranges. “After a few warm days some South Island skifields will be happy to see some natural snowfall towards the end of the working week,” Crabtree said.

Methven revellers leave Covid-19 crisis behind By Susan Sandys
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Methven businesses have renewed confidence in a fantastic winter ahead as New Zealanders flock to the ski town. Mt Hutt had a record opening weekend, while there were queues out the door at the Blue Pub on Saturday night. Buoyed by the perfect combination of New Zealand going to Level 1 and the opening weekend, an influx of skiers and snowboarders trampled any memory of the Covid-19 crisis right into the dance floor. Mt Hutt Ski Area manager James McKenzie said more than 7000 visited the skifield over the weekend from Friday to Sun-
day, making it a record opening weekend. Last year was the previous high, when, with better snow conditions and all lifts open, there were about 6000 visitors. He said it was incredible to see, particularly considering only six weeks ago, when the country was in lockdown, ski area managers doubted they would even be able to open at all. “Things have changed very rapidly, and I think it tells us domestic tourism, particularly in Canterbury, is alive and kicking,” McKenzie said. He said many skiers had made a weekend of it, enjoying beautiful snow and bluebird conditions on Saturday and Sunday.
There were about eight per cent from the Southern Lakes, Southland and Otago, a small number from Auckland and Marlborough and more than 90 per cent from Canterbury. NZSki had been able to call on about 25 staff from Queenstown to help it open Mt Hutt as the skifield recruited to get its staff levels up to be able to open seven days a week from July 1. Currently it is opening five days per week. McKenzie was looking forward to more snow on Thursday, up to 25 centimetres, and it was looking to be a good winter. He said the ski area had enquiries from Australians, who were banking on a trans-Tas-
man bubble opening up by the September school holidays, and they had even booked airfares for that time. Ski Time owner-operator Pete Wood said it was good to see a lot of Kiwis floating around town over the weekend. His accommodation premises was 70 per cent full and the restaurant was “chocka block” Friday and Saturday nights, which was better than he expected. People were from paces including Christchurch, Queenstown, Auckland and Nelson. a Wood said many had planned tropical holidays for their winter breaks pre-Covid, but with no overseas travel, they had decided to get out their skis instead.
“One guy hadn’t skied for 10 years,” he said. Methven Pubs spokesperson Debbie den Baars said the weekend was “crazy busy”, particularly at the Blue Pub on Saturday night with many queuing as they wanted to enjoy the live bands on show. “It was almost as big as rodeo weekend,” den Baars said. Both the Brown and Blue pubs’ accommodation had been booked out, and pub and accommodation guests had enjoyed the beautiful weather and skiing. “Everyone was just fizzing. It’s great just to be open again and people can hug and dance,” she said.

Carrfields marketing administrator Mel Doyle said the company ended up with the jerseys when they took over Elders three years ago. A shift of premises prompted a clean-out and Doyle unearthed them again and knowing they were far too good to sit around
unused, He Waka Tapu was the first place she thought of. According to Richards the jerseys are hugely appreciated, in particular by Year 13 boys at Ashburton College. They are heading off to school in warm jerseys their families may have baulked at buying for their last year, she said.
At the other end of the woollen clothing scale Richards said a local 94-year-old lady has been knitting up a storm and has donated a banana box full of handmade booties and hats for babies. “Gifting shows love, and this has been bigger than we thought it would be,” Richards said.
■■ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT
Six months’ supervision on drug charges A 27-year-old male who was arrested following a search warrant at a rural address in Winchmore has admitted to possessing cannabis. Tony-Lee Nathan Berger-Sewell appeared before Judge Joanna Maze in the Ashburton District Court yesterday charged with possession of a cannabis plant, possession of a pipe or utensils for the purpose of smoking cannabis, and possession of a pipe for methamphetamine use. He entered guilty pleas to the three charges. He was also charged with receiving stolen goods over $1000 in value, and cultivating cannabis, which he entered not guilty pleas to, electing judge alone trial. The summary of facts read to the court in relation to the three charges he pleaded guilty to said that on May 21 police carried out a search warrant, locating 375 grams of cannabis plant material, three bongs and two glass pipes for smoking methamphetamine. He told police that the cannabis and bongs belonged to him, but that he did not know about the meth pipes. Judge Maze said the 375 grams
Club 206 back Monday next week will be the day of return for Age Concern Ashburton’s 206 Club. Chairperson Trish Small said clients were looking forward to getting back to seeing everyone again. “We have had a lot of people asking when will we start,” she said. New Zealand going to Level 1 had enabled staff and volunteers to launch planning towards a June 22 re-opening. Up to more than 20 clients each time attend the three-day-per-week programme which includes a cooked meal and activities.

It was all about the love. That is how He Waka Tapu whanau support kaimahi, Juanita Richards described their Weet-Bix drop. Over the last two weeks, thanks to Auckland organisation KiwiHarvest, He Waka Tapu have given away 960 boxes of the popular breakfast cereal to the community. Buoyed by the success of their first giveaway before Queen’s Birthday, Friday saw staff head out in teams to Methven, Rakaia and Fairton. Richards, stationed in Methven, said she asked passers-by if they would like some Weet-Bix. If the reply was “Thank you, we don’t need them,” she would explain that was not what she asked. “If they wanted some I would tell them to help themselves and feel good. They are given with aroha (love) for our community.” Basic needs, as Richards explains are warmth, food, shelter and love, and by giving out kai with love they are meeting two of those basic needs. The aroha will keep going as the Weet-Bix are passed on to others, or used in baking given out by whanau or resthomes. The generosity of He Waka Tapu and their associates has been mirrored by other members in the community. Recently Ashburton business Carrfields donated over 30 woollen jerseys and a couple of meri-

of cannabis was not identified as any high grade product therefore not being able to assume it was of any significant value it was for nothing more than personal use. She sentenced him to six months’ supervision and to undergo drug and alcohol counselling and for the destruction of the drug utensils. A man who repeatedly used a bank card that was not his at two locations over a three-day period has pleaded guilty to his crimes.
Quentin Russell John Gordon pleaded guilty to one representative charge of using a document for a pecuniary advantage and a representative charge of wilful trespass. The court heard that Gordon had been trespassed from the Netherby Four Square for two years in June 2019. On around March 28 he found an ANZ paywave card that had been dropped on the ground, which over the next few days he used multiple times to purchase
A Swiss man who lost control of his vehicle and crashed into another car, breaking two of the other driver’s vertebrae has been convicted of one charge of careless or inconsiderate use of a motor vehicle. Flavio Kurt Naf entered a guilty plea on Monday. The summary of facts read to the court said that on March 17 Naf was operating a Subaru on Grahams Road. The vehicle veered left on to grass beside the road, causing the tyres to swirl and slide, leading to the car sliding back across the road into the path of another vehicle, which the victim was driving. The victim suffered two non-displaced fractures to their T1 and T2 vertebrae, bruising to their head and injuries to their ribs. Judge Maze remanded Naf at large until July 27 for sentencing.
Police investigating an attack on students at a South Auckland high school say it is “incredibly fortunate” no one died in the incident. Officers were called to De La Salle College just before 4.30pm on Friday after a large group from another Auckland secondary school attacked students coming out of the school gates. In the latest update from authorities, Counties Manukau Police area commander Matt Srhoj said it was lucky they were not dealing with fatalities. “Police are disappointed in the violence displayed in this disorder and it is incredibly fortunate that we are not dealing with fatal injuries - NZME here,” he said.
Driver named A young man reported to have driven the wrong way down a Christchurch highway before smashing head-on into another vehicle, killing himself and the other driver, has been named. Tane Anderson is being identified online as the second driver in the crash which claimed two lives on Sunday morning. He was a former St Bede’s College student and an apprentice electrician, according to his Facebook profile. The other victim was Jordan Gow, a local rock musician and father of one. Police were called around 6.45am on Sunday to Russley Rd (State Highway 1) in Burnside where the two vehicles collided. They have not confirmed how the crash happened, except that it occurred in the northbound lanes. - NZME
‘Keep our borders shut’ A Kiwi chef about to start work at Treble Cone skifield in Central Otago says we should not rush to open our borders “until it is safe”. Francesca MacKenzie, 23, was working at Whistler Blackcomb in Canada, one of the largest ski resorts in North America, when she lost her job due to the Covid-19 crisis and had to return to New Zealand in March. “We are the first place to finally get rid of it [Covid-19]. I think to open up a trans-Tasman bubble would be great, but they are still not quite there yet. “I don’t want to go back into lockdown and I don’t want to lose my job again, so I think we should wait until it is safe.” MacKenzie applied for a job through the Treble Cone website as soon as they were listed, was lucky enough to hear back after a week, and moved to Wanaka five days ago. “I am really happy that I am a local now and if anything happens at least I can stay in my own country,” MacKenzie said. - NZME

Beating heart slowly returning
I
t seems pretty safe to say that the beating heart of Mid Canterbury kicked back into life at the weekend, in more ways than one. After a few months without much life and activity around the district, Saturday morning seemed to bring to life a renewed energy across the district with more and more people out and about. Perhaps it was the opening of Mt Hutt for the season on Friday, Methven was certainly a lot busier than it has been for a while – or it could have been the return of some of the Saturday morning sporting codes. The Ashburton Domain was a hive of activity on Saturday morning with children, parents, grandparents and family members of all shapes and sizes converging for the first morning of fun and first kicks for the little ones. There was a distinct jubilation about it all too. People catching up with others who they hadn’t seen for quite some time and just a general sense of feel-good community spirit, clapping and cheering youngsters on as they chased after a ball with a flock-like mentality. And slowly but surely, that will continue to grow too. More and more sport is set to return and it will be welcomed in similar fashion. And once events are back up and running too then an even further renewed vigour should be quite evident around the traps. But the key is to keep that momentum flowing. To keep the people coming out and to enjoy whatever it is on offer and not just see it become a flash in the pan moment where the novelty will eventually wear off. We learned during lockdown that we don’t need to be out and about all the time to enjoy a good life. We can confine ourselves to home and enjoy a simpler life, but we don’t want that to be the norm. So, get out – enjoy the fresh, cool air on your face in the morning. There’s not much better.

Farming will help lead us out of tough times T
he economic commentators are pretty much unanimous that the world has entered what could be a prolonged recession sparked by the Covid-19 pandemic. New Zealand isn’t immune, but what has already been clear over the last two months, agriculture is one of our economy’s life rafts. Deemed an essential industry, farmers and growers have been able to carry on producing quality milk, meat, grain and fibre not only for five million Kiwis but seven times that number of people offshore. What’s more, we do it at a lower carbon footprint than almost anywhere else on the planet. Environmental and animal welfare credentials are increas-

ingly important to well-off consumers, so even though there might be a bumpy ride with prices on global marketplaces buffered by the virus fallout, our primary produce export revenue – and thus farm incomes – shouldn’t take too much of a hiding. Having said that, it’s certainly not the time to be lumping the sector which has the greatest prospect of accelerating our economic recovery with a whole lot more restrictions,
rules and costs. Unfortunately, it’s a much harder road ahead for some other sectors, especially tourism. International travel is pretty much stuffed, at least in the short-term, though there is some hope that we can get a safe travel ‘bubble’ going with our mates across the Tasman. As was acknowledged in the Budget on May 14, all this means there are excellent employment opportunities in our primary sector for Kiwis who have the right attitude, enjoy the outdoors and aren’t afraid of hard work. The pandemic has put clamps on the usual flow of migrant workers, and the dairy sector in particular – including in Canterbury – has workforce gaps.

The latest Federated Farmers remuneration survey confirms good on-farm pay increases, and often accommodation is thrown in. The pandemic has just shown us agriculture also offers job security.

MARKET REPORT By Guy Trafford
N
ew Zealand has negotiated 10 successful free trade agreements (FTAs). To date they have been with countries in Asia with some of the Americas added on as well, but with the USA being the notable absentee. New Zealand has generally been supportive of FTAs as they allow us to access markets with no or reduced tariffs and barriers and therefore utilise our competitive advantages predominantly in food production and access cheaper products in return – so working properly, a win-win for all parties. So, when New Zealand began negotiations with the EU to try and gain further export, mostly dairy, access I was always sceptical that any meaningful agreement could be reached. Anyone who has seen the French farmers, in particular, protesting against anything that may impinge upon their markets and potential profitability will know what I mean. One thousand tractors rolling down the Champs-Élysées, dumping manure outside President Macron’s office, more manure being dumped outside the Toulouse town hall are all examples of the lengths they are prepared to go to. Some of these examples are protests against a potential FTA with Canada. In this case French farmers believed imported beef has lower standards than the local beef. They are protesting against potential use of growth hormones and the feeding of GM feeds to animals. New Zealand announced intentions to try and get a FTA with the EU way back in 2009 with the first round of talks being held in July 2018.
Not surprisingly, the bulk of New Zealand exports are made up predominantly of agricultural goods (73 per cent) and the EU takes over 13 per cent of New Zealand exports. A quite different macro picture of the EU export emerges with manufactured goods making up the bulk (86 per cent) and only 0.2 per cent of total trade. However, looks are misleading and the trade balance currently is heavily in the EU favour for goods and services by nearly a factor of two. Recently details of what the EU have put on the table have been revealed and Trade and Export Growth Minister David Parker has been quite vocal in his disappointment with what is on offer. Essentially, it focuses around dairy products and New Zealand wishing to gain greater access for our products. What has been offered for agricultural products equates to the EU being able to export around one kilogram of cheese into New Zealand for every New Zealander
while we can export three grams into the EU for every individual. Minister Parker has accused the EU of adopting protectionist policies with even the dairy offer coming with strings with agricultural products being “subject to volume restrictions and a prohibitively high tariff”. At this stage the French farmers can remain relaxed as their officials are certainly protecting their interests. Where the FTA goes from here is anyone’s guess, but rapid progress is highly unlikely. New Zealand tends to always take the moral high ground in these situations and so we are still likely to see the importation of subsidised, cheap cheeses and pork among other items coming from the EU which unfairly compete against domestically produced products. The problems New Zealand are meeting with the EU are not surprising in this post Covid-19 world. While the government may like to see world trade freed up, even before the virus, for the likes of the
US the reverse was happening. President Trump threatening to withdraw the US from the WTO if it doesn’t bend to his views and putting additional tariffs on imported goods from many countries, including New Zealand, meant the US was leading the way in policies which many countries are now adopting. Namely protecting their own industries and trying to reduce imports in the process. New Zealand is fortunate in that the countries we already have FTAs with, with the exception of Australia and Canada, are countries that are generally happy to receive our agricultural products. They are also able, in the main, to supply most of the goods we want. Ironically one area that they may be deficient in are some of the heavy agricultural products such as tractors. Now that New Zealand is one of the leading countries to eliminate the Covid-19 virus it remains to be seen as to whether or not we can capitalise on this ‘advantage’.
The mere fact that our dominant exports are food-based makes trading with us more attractive than many other countries. The WTO last year developed a WTO Trade Barometer and nothing on it is surprising. World trade (May 20 report) (see graphs above) shows it plummeting and no sign of a ‘pull out’ in sight ... except, that is, for agricultural products and while below what they were appear to be plateauing (at 96 per cent of trend). This is being reflected in some products within New Zealand with kiwifruit experiencing record sales and sheep meat still maintaining good levels. The potato chip threat from cheap EU imports, covered a week or two back, seems to be getting taken seriously by our Government, with Potatoes New Zealand having had a meeting with Minister Faafoi last week to discuss investigating the potential importation of heavily discounted frozen potato chips into New Zealand.

MARKET REPORT Continued from previous page
The markets Generally, a good week for the meat markets but wool continues to languish.
Sheep
Saleyards had a considerable lift again with all classes of sheep having positive moves upwards. The works prices, although not quite in the same league as the saleyards, are also moving up.
little less buoyant than sheep but schedules across most classes continue to improve. Prime beef was the only one remaining quiet.
Wool
The big mover this week was venison with SFF putting a $1 lift in the schedule, taking it up closer to its rivals. All processors are still a way off last year’s prices but life is being shown.
The wool market continues to flop around on the floor like a dying fish. A wider span of wool classes sold this week with some merino and mid-micron wools coming in. On a very limited supply the merino price was cut in half from pre-Covid-19 but the mid-micron, although down, looked healthier than expected given what was happening to the other categories.
Beef
Beef also had a positive week. The saleyards, although up, appeared a
Venison
Dairy
Another GDT auction takes place this week, so that will dominate any news ahead. To date the prices have held reasonably well. How well the next auction goes may be driven by the supply side of things, with the northern hemisphere producers being a little ahead of last year at this stage.

Pets from our past By Connor Lysaght
W
e all love our pets. Whether they have fins, legs, wings, or hooves, we love them all the same and enjoy their company regardless of how often we have to clean up after them. Scattered throughout the Ashburton Museum photograph collection are a surprising number of pictures of people with their animal companions, which I often come across by accident while chasing up research requests. Photographs of past Ashburtonians and their pets gives us an insight into their taste and ideas, sometimes giving us a glimpse at how certain breeds of domestic animal have changed over time. These images also add another layer to the degree of personality we impose on figures from our past – often we read about their lives and see their photographs, but knowing the type of pets they kept and actually seeing this adds an extra shade of humanity to our picture of their lives. Such photographs never fail to brighten up my day a bit, and so I thought that this week I would share some examples with you, which will hopefully brighten up yours as we head into winter.

The Phoenix – all ready to fly The Wellington Phoenix are ready to go for a resumption of the A-League, but they’ll need official clearance to cross the Tasman before the team can start training again. The side could fly out in the next few days. An announcement is imminent on an exact date for the return of the League, which was stopped in mid-March because of the Coronavirus pandemic. There are six rounds still to be played with the plan that a return to action will happen in mid-July with the competition to be wrapped up by the end of August. The League is still in talks with broadcasters about coverage for the end of the competition, but there are reports that clubs will be allowed to start training again this week. Phoenix general manager David Dome admits they’re running out of time if a proposed July 16 start date is to be met. “We are looking to get over to Australia as soon as possible once we get clearance to leave Wellington and get into Australia we’ll be there and get into a four week training

programme for a resumption in mid-July.” “We’re still working for an agreement with the players union and broadcasters and so the time frame is tight.” Squads have not been able to train together during lockdown and can only resume when a schedule is confirmed by the League. Most of the Phoenix players are in New Zealand, there are a half a dozen in Australia, while forward Gary Hooper is back in Britain and midfielder Ulises Davila is in Mexico. The plan is that the Phoenix would do their two weeks quarantine somewhere in New South Wales and then do two weeks outside of quarantine, training the entire time. Competition options include having all 11 teams based in a hub in New South Wales, with games to be played in Sydney and Newcastle, or if inter-State travel restrictions are eased then the three Victorian clubs, Adelaide and Brisbane could hold matches in their home states. The Phoenix have continued to play their players during the lockdown and Dome says

the players are in a good space. “They’re very committed and they could see in March how well they were performing and that they had a good chance this year. “We don’t fear anyone in the League, we were the form team going into the suspension and so we want to get back over there and get the job done.” The Phoenix are currently third in the standings and a top four finish would qualify them for a home play-off game, something Dome is very keen to have. For there to be a home semi-final there has to be trans-Tasman bubble so that incoming teams wouldn’t have to go into quarantine. “The League is aware how important a home play-off game would be for the Phoenix. “As you can see with Super Rugby a home semi in Wellington we could get a massive crowd at Sky Stadium. 30-35 thousand people at Sky Stadium would be a magnificent result for the club and good for the League The Phoenix fans are ready to go. in general.”

Eagles too slick for Baabaas
Firebirds grab Allen The Wellington Firebirds have added one of New Zealand Cricket’s brightest prospects to their contracted player list for the 20202021 season. Twenty-one-year-old batsman Finn Allen will make the move south from Auckland to the capital after being included in the first round of 15 players to be offered Firebirds contracts for the upcoming season. A former New Zealand Under 19 international, Allen has already shown his ability – he debuted for the Auckland Aces at just 17 and, last year, posted 104 not out for the New Zealand XI against England, facing the likes of Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes and Jofra Archer. Allen joins several former New Zealand Under 19 team-mates in Wellington, including Rachin Ravindra, Jakob Bhula, and Ben Sears, and wider Wellington squad members Luke Georgeson and Callum McLachlan. Of the players contracted in the previous year Devon Conway and Malcolm Nofal are not on this year’s list. Conway joined Tom Blundell and Jimmy Neesham on the Black Caps central contract list in May, while Nofal has returned home to pursue his cricket career in South Africa.
The Ashburton Barbarians returned to the paddock at the weekend, hosting the Eastern Eagles in an entertaining warm-up bout at Robilliard Park. Played in splendid conditions, the Eagles were far too clinical as the Christchurch club romped to a 56-16 win. The Eastern players were full of praise for their Ashburton counterparts following the game. “Big mihi to all the Ashburton Barbarians and your whanau for the aroha shown to the Eagles.” The Barbarians are back on home turf this weekend where the club hosts the Northern Bulldogs in its opening Canterbury Cup matchup.

For sale – AB jersey next naming rights deal – and has priced a five-year deal to one investor at $300m over five years, a figure that trumps the entire total income of all sponsorships from 2016 to 2019. NZR chief commercial officer Richard Thomas says a proposal is ready to take to market. “Our view is that we need to be flexible about what the audience and potential buyers are looking for.” The decision in 2012 to brand all the national teams – Sevens, Juniors and NZ Maori – as All Blacks has not been universally popular with fans, but from a commercial perspective, it has created a larger and more valuable inventory to sell to sponsors. The strength of the All Blacks’ brand over the years will also mean NZR will be less reliant on broadcast rights, which have become less predictable, especially in the streaming age. Between 2016 and 2019, broadcast income averaged 35 per cent of NZR’s total income, but for the first time it wasn’t the biggest source of revenue for the national body. Broadcast contracts are not linear – they fluctuate depending on the volume of content – and with the All Blacks only playing three home tests last year, viewing rights income was $57.4m while sponsorship and licensing revenue was $72.9m. In the same four-year period, sponsorship income totalled $258m, with $308m from broadcast rights.
New Zealand Rugby wants to sell the All Blacks jersey to an overseas investor in a groundbreaking, yet likely contentious, deal that could earn the cash-strapped organisation more than $300 million. As part of the Business of Rugby series, the Herald has revealed that NZR is trying to sell its entire portfolio of jersey sponsorship rights – the All Blacks, Black Ferns, Sevens, Maori and under-20 team – to a single investor, possibly a major US or Japanese advertising agency. The agency would then on-sell the rights to specific companies that want to put their name on the team’s jerseys. Over the past few years, sponsorship income has been one of NZ Rugby’s biggest sources of revenue after broadcast rights, but the Covid-19 pandemic has severely impacted the organisation with a decline in revenue of $120m expected for the current financial year. NZR recently announced a $7.5m loss for 2019 and it is expected that nearly 50 per cent of its 180 fulltime jobs are set to be lost. Current jersey sponsor AIG is not renewing its deal, which expires in 2021, leaving NZR desperate for a new deal. The historic deal struck with AIG in 2016 is believed to be worth $120m over five years, but the Herald understands NZR is looking for significantly more for its

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): A friendship commitment seems lighter than, say, owning a pet, choosing a partner or becoming a parent, but it is still a commitment that changes your story. You’ll choose friends very carefully. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Anyone can be impressed by museum curations and the efforts of great artists. But what you do is more rare. You see uncommon beauty in common things – a gift that keeps giving. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): It’s very hard to teach people who think they already know. This requires disruption and unlearning before the most elemental bedrock can be laid. Only try and teach the willing. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Would you rather be idolised and emulated, or left to your own devices? There is a great benefit and freedom to invisibility, but it’s best achieved by those who don’t want or need the attention. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): It seems like a strange time to raise your price, up the stakes or ask for a promotion, and yet you’re due. Remind yourself you provide value to your team, and think how you’d like to be compensated. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Just as planets orbit the sun and moths fly at the lightbulb, it is in the nature of humans to gather around a fire. Today that “fire” will come in the form of some incendiary topic. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Often work does not come together in a straightforward way, so you appreciate days like today when the small picture reflects the big picture. The mountain is climbed one upward step at a time. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Be like the great entertainers. Meld your sense of what the audience wants with your own appetites and gifts. If you only give what they want, you’re pandering. If you only give what you want, there won’t be a deal. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Nothing provides an energy rush like adrenaline, and nothing brings out your adrenaline like other people’s expectations. You’ll be able to accomplish more when there’s social pressure involved. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Ennui is like a solicitor ignoring all the neighbourhood signs. When he comes knocking at your door, don’t let him in. Don’t even go to the door. Find something creative to do and he’ll go away. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): In the mood for a risk, you’ll be testing your own limits. As your attitude tilts toward daredevil-ish, will you be enchanted or alarmed? Maybe a little of both. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): There are people who seem to make you feel bold and playful, although those qualities are always inside you, just waiting for permission to emerge, when actually, they don’t really need it.

Building into Watters Cup By Adam Burns
adam.b@theguardian.co.nz
A cut-throat opening leg of rugby’s Watters Cup is on the cards after a handful of local clubs enjoyed warm-up outings at the weekend. Mid Canterbury clubs low on preparation due to Covid-19 were relieved to get at least one game under the belt ahead of this week-
end’s competition start. With a significant reduction of the rugby season, many clubs have been proactive in organising both pre-season games and non-competition hit-outs with teams from neighbouring unions. The Mid Canterbury sides overall would have been encouraged by their efforts at the weekend. Hampstead beat Hornby 27-
19 in Ashburton and now look forward to hosting Celtic in this weekend’s Watters Cup opener. A lead-up game would have been particularly paramount for Methven, who have the bye on opening weekend. A strong finish by the team capped a 40-26 win over Prebbleton in their warm-up encounter in Christchurch on Saturday.
Only two points separated the two sides with three quarters of the game gone, however the visitors added two further tries to see them home. Southern were also on the road, going down to Harlequins in a highly physical clash in Timaru. Co-coach Jon Dampney said it was good for the squad to get some rugby under their belts
before their showdown with Rakaia. “It’s always good when you play your first game, you definitely get something to take out of it,” he said. “It was a good feeling.” The feeling won’t subside this weekend when they take on Rakaia in their opening competition fixture.
