90-y-o dies after crash BY KATIE TODD
KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
A 90-year-old woman has died in Ashburton Hospital following a car crash near Tinwald on Saturday afternoon. The driver, the vehicle’s sole occupant, veered off the side of Maronan Road and collided with a power pole at around 4.30pm,
after she suffered a medical event. Hinds Chief Fire Officer Dave Kingsbury was among emergency services to attend the scene and said the woman did not appear to be “substantially injured” in the crash, but was unconscious. Her vehicle had not sustained severe damage and EA Networks were not required to turn off pow-
er to the area, although they attended the scene and checked out the power pole as a precautionary measure. Kingsbury said firefighters stayed with the woman until St John Ambulance staff took her to hospital and police took over management of the scene at around 5.30pm.

A police spokesperson reported on Sunday that the woman had later died, but said it was not due to injuries sustained in the crash. The call-out on Saturday afternoon was one of a number over the course of the weekend for Mid Canterbury emergency services. Starting on Friday night and through to Sunday night, they at-
tended six call-outs including car accidents and vegetation fires. On Saturday morning a man was taken to Ashburton Hospital to be checked for burns after fumes ignited while a racing car was being refuelled. Static electricity is believed to have sparked the fire ball at Triangle Garage.

Drizzle it may, but it doesn’t keep Boulevard away By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Crowds flocked to Ashburton’s annual Boulevard Day yesterday, not worried about a bit of rain and temperatures remaining in single digits. Great bargains, hot food and live entertainment at the annual CBD street stall spectacle kept shoppers’ minds off the weather. And for those who did start to feel the cold, they had the indoor comfort of Ashburton’s equally iconic Bookarama nearby. “It’s fun, I enjoy it, I have got to know a lot of people,” said longtime stall-holder Gavin Gardener of the West Melton Plant Nursery. He had been selling plants at Boulevard Day for 24 years, and had found people turned out no matter what the weather. About 10 years ago, it had been snowing heavily, and he and a fellow stallholder had taken shelter in the doorway of a shoe shop. “The snow was driving in, we were holding a coat up (to shelter behind it). But we still sold really well for the day,” Gardener said. “I have been here in shorts and singlet and jandals, and I have been here when it hasn’t stopped raining, setting up in the rain and
going home in the rain.” Boulevard Day traditionally attracts people from throughout Canterbury, particularly South Canterbury as the district celebrates its anniversary day. Ashburton retailers’ organiser Sue Cooper said it had been a fabulous start to the day, with about 110 stallholders, a similar number to last year. And shoppers had turned out early, numbering more throughout the morning than for the same time last year. Live band ToPeace and Ashburton pipe band entertained, and hot food and coffee drew in the crowds throughout the morning and lunchtime. Drizzle came and went in the middle of the day, but the rain mostly held off. Crowds eased from mid-afternoon onwards, as temperatures remained around nine degrees. However, there was enough to keep up the momentum and Boulevard Day finished with many happy customers and stallholders. “The biggest buzz for us is the amount of stallholders who have congratulated us on the running of the event,” Cooper said as the day drew to a close.

Lowcliffe couple’s quick thinking suffocates fire By Katie todd
Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz
A local couple could have lost a lot more of their house to fire yesterday if they hadn’t quickly shut all their doors, emergency services said. Fire broke out inside the Low-
cliffe property shortly after 6am, prompting a call-out for fire and emergency volunteers from Ashburton, Willowby and Hinds. Smoke had made its way throughout the house, “severely damaging” the residents’ contents, but Hinds Chief Fire Officer Dave
Kingsbury said the situation could have been a lot worse. The couple had shut all doors in the house to starve the flames of oxygen and the fire was almost out when teams arrived. Officer in charge Robbie Maw said there was just a small amount
of material smouldering under the floorboards for fire crews to locate and extinguish. “Once we’d dealt with that, it was largely a matter of ventilating the house,” he said. They were working at the scene for around an hour-and-a-half. Firefighters said it was unfortu-
nate that the smoke could not be stopped. “There is smoke damage throughout the house – but that’s just what it does, it permeates everything,” Kingsbury said. Teams were working at the scene throughout the day yesterday to investigate the cause of the fire.

Cold spring spell a shock By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Mt Hutt management were expecting snow overnight last night, but were not holding their breath for a huge fall. “It’s been the story of our season that there’s been snow in the forecast, but it’s never really got to us,” manager James McKenzie said. However, there had been enough snow to keep the ski area topped up with good coverage, particularly on main trails, throughout the year. All in all, the ski season, which comes to a close on October 14, had been brilliant, McKenzie said. “The essential ingredient for a successful season is as much about snow as it is about nice sunny days, and we have been really fortunate this year,” said McKenzie. About two centimetres had fallen throughout the day yesterday, and there would be further snow falling overnight, he said. Meanwhile, a series of cold
fronts pushing up the South Island overnight and today were to bring rain and snow to Canterbury, according to the MetService. “The rain will come and go as the front comes past and then there will be a little bit of clearance behind each one,” said meteorologist Melissa Oosterwijk. Up to 20 millimetres of rain could fall in the district, and snow would lower down to 400 to 500 metres last night and today. The snow was likely to miss both Ashburton and Methven, at about 100 and 320 metres above sea level, respectively. The cold spell will come as a shock to Mid Cantabrians, who have enjoyed warm spring weather of late. Over the last 10 days, five have seen temperatures rise to 20 degrees or above. Tomorrow and Thursday, maximums are expected to reach just 12 degrees, with temperatures falling to a chilly one degree overnight.
Judge’s ruling: Charge against ECan to proceed A charge against Environment Canterbury of disturbing fish spawning grounds in Bowyers Stream will be heard at a defended hearing in the Ashburton District Court. The regional council had filed an application for the charge brought by Fish and Game to be dismissed, saying the official charging document filled out by the organisation was flawed. Judge Allan Roberts heard submissions from lawyers from both parties earlier this month and has decided the charge should proceed. Three days has been suggested as the likely time period needed
to hear from prosecution and defence witnesses. Fish and Game alleges ECan disturbed or damaged the spawning grounds of trout and salmon in Bowyers Stream between April and May 26 last year. ECan has entered a not guilty plea to the charge, laid under the Conservation Act. It carries a maximum penalty of a $200,000 fine. Fish and Game have previously said the spawning grounds in the stream, which is connected to the Ashburton River, were damaged by earthmoving machinery at the height of the salmon and trout spawning season.

Bookarama launches to big crowds By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Rabid readers from throughout Canterbury flocked through the doors of Bookarama 2018 when it launched yesterday. About 40 bibliophiles were ready and waiting by the time Ashburton Rotary Club members flung open the doors of the Ashburton Sports Hall at 8am. Some had been waiting for an hour, determined to get
first pick of the huge selection inside. Convenor David Mead said thousands of books and puzzles had been sold by midday, and there was no sign of Ashburton’s iconic Bookarama slowing down in the modern era of digital communication. “It’s going massively well, we are so pleased with the sales we have had,” Mead said. If anything, the cool and

damp weather had helped, as bargain hunters who had come into town for Boulevard Day popped in to Bookarama to have a break indoors. Since its inception in 1980, Bookarama has raised more than $1.3 million, money that is given back to the community. Bookarama will run until mid-day Saturday, and there will be two late nights, tonight and Friday until 8.30pm.

Hinds MAR site officially launched By Linda CLarke
Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz
Farmers worked alongside children, environmentalists, iwi and regulators on Sunday to help bring the Hinds River back to life. The group planted 600 native plants and lobbed seed bombs that will help transform Environment Canterbury’s second managed aquifer recharge (MAR) site from a scrubby riverbed into a lizard habitat and wetlands. The Hekeao/Hinds River project is part of a wider mission to improve water quantity and quality in the Ashburton District and the area will become part of a network of MAR sites. Water released from the nearby Rangitata Diversion Race as part of the Ashburton District Council’s consented stockwater take is being siphoned into the riverbed off Montalto Klondyke Road and allowed to leak down into underground aquifers. The water will help raise groundwater levels and dilute nitrate concentrations, as it has done around the site of the original pilot MAR at Lagmhor. Sixteen other potential MAR sites have been identified in the Ashburton and testing is under way at six. The Hinds site was officially opened on Sunday and blessed by iwi. MAR governance group chairman Peter Lowe said the Hinds River bisected the Mid Canterbury plains and the governance group had recognised its need for enhancement early on. The second MAR would not only enhance groundwater quality and quantity, but create habitats for at-risk wildlife like skinks and geckos and improve the community drinking water supply for nearby Mayfield, he said. Arowhenua kaumatua Te Wera King said the MAR was a chance to celebrate a water win and while the parties involved did not always see eye to eye, the Hinds project was an achievement. Central South Island Fish and Game officer Mark Webb said the Hinds MAR had been achieved without years of talk. Farmers had rolled their sleeves up and got involved, with parties learning along the way. “It has been one of the best

things I have done with my time in Fish and Game.” Ashburton District Councillor Stuart Wilson, who lived beside the Hinds River for much of his working life, said council had allowed 500 litres/second for MAR and it had been shown to work. Continuing access to that council water and other water is important for the success of the project, which will need 1500l/sec. Finding the extra needed will be a delicate exercise for the governance group, but being able to point to their success so far will be helpful. ECan’s elected Mid Canterbury councillor John Sunckell said MAR was helping rebalance water in the rivers and in the environment and the Mid Canterbury sites were templates for other areas also addressing water quality and quantity issues. Work on a MAR site near the Selwyn River was about to begin. Managing recharge this way also eased tension around Maori concerns about mixing water from different sources, he said.

Need help to Stars on the Ashburton stage upgrade your heating? By Katie todd
Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz
Canterbury homeowners can now get a $6000 rates advance to pay for home heating, insulation and ventilation improvements. Environment Canterbury has started accepting applications to Healthier Homes Canterbury, announced as part of the long-term plan 2018-28. Eligible ratepayers can apply for an advance of up to $6000 for heating, insulation and ventilation improvements and pay it back through their rates bills over nine years with interest. The interest rate for those joining before July 2019 is fixed at 5.9 per cent per annum. Deputy chairman Peter Scott said ECan wanted to help Cantabrians make their homes warmer, drier and healthier. “One of our roles as a regional council is to ensure the air we breathe supports health and wellbeing, so helping people upgrade
to cleaner heating technology is vital to that. “Some households are working towards switching to a modern burner or heat source that meets more stringent emissions standards than their older burner. Others don’t have insulation or ventilation to keep their home warm and dry. “We know these upgrades can be costly. Not everyone is eligible for a subsidy and not everyone has the money to pay upfront or loan money from a bank or retailer. Healthier Homes Canterbury provides an option for these people.” The long-term plan 2018-28 sets aside $20 million for Healthier Homes Canterbury, up to a maximum of $3 million per year. The 5.9 per cent interest rate covers all costs incurred by Environment Canterbury to run the scheme, so that it does not impact other ratepayers.
Fancy seeing some of the world’s top musical talent all on the stage in Ashburton at once? Twelve finalists have been named for next month’s Stars In Your Eyes competition, which will bring an entertaining spectacle of superstar impersonations to the Ashburton Trust Event Centre on October 13. The event was launched by the Ashburton County Lions last year and was a sell-out success. This year, organisers are hoping for similar popularity, with a star-studded line-up, including Cher and David Bowie. Organiser Marie McAnulty said judges received more video auditions than they could fit in their schedule this year and it was tough to narrow it down to 12. Some contestants are returning for their second shot at the top prize, while a number of newbies have also risen to the challenge. The night will also feature a skit from Manny Sim of Sim’s Bakery, whose performance last year proved particularly popular. Tickets are flying out the door, with around 100 remaining, McAnulty said. She encouraged people to get

Recession ‘worse than the Great Depression’ The next recession could put the 2008 financial crash to shame if two experts’ predictions about the worldwide debt of $US247 trillion are correct. Expected to hit the United States within the next two years, the impact has been compared to the severe worldwide economic crisis which started 1929 and last until 1939. “We won’t be able to call it a recession, it’s going to be worse than the Great Depression,” economic commentator Peter Schiff, told the New York Post. “The US economy is in so much worse shape than it was a decade ago.” It means by the time President Donald Trump’s first term should come to a close, the country – which saw debt more than double to $US21 trillion over a decade – could be a dire situation, the Daily Mail reported. This is despite the lowest unemployment rate in a generation, tax cuts for businesses and the Dow hitting record highs. Low wages are thought to be a factor in the slowing down of economic recovery. “Obviously, there is a whole lot of optimism – but there is a very
Economic commentator Peter Schiff good chance the US economy is in recession within the next two years,” Schiff continued. “This is already the secondlongest economic expansion in history.” Another expert supports his prediction that the economy is in more trouble than most realise. “Should the [US] economy start to shrink, and our analysis suggests that it will, the high nominal levels of debt will instantly become a very big issue,” Murray Gunn, head of global research
at Elliott Wave International warned. They blamed central bankers using cheap money in financial free economies for the reason global debt is now $US247 trillion compared to $US177 trillion in 2008. “We think the major economies are on the cusp of this turning into the worst recession we have seen in 10 years,” Gun said about the debt that’s two-and-ahalf times the size of the world’s economy.” - NZME
Lost signet ring returned thanks to honest shopper Aucklander Heather Bonner found herself in hysterics after losing a precious signet ring gifted to her at her wedding by her sister just before her death. But thanks to one honest supermarket shopper she has the ring back. Now she wants to thank them. It all began with a visit to her local supermarket, Pak’nSave Westgate for groceries. The difference this visit, was she had lost some weight on her ring finger after falling ill so it was not firmly clamped onto her finger. “I was digging through vegetables in the groceries and then in the car on the way home I noticed it was gone.” She was devastated and hysterical after finding the ring missing from her finger, she said. “I didn’t know exactly where it was. I was kicking myself so much about losing it. I got over myself and started to think straight.” She called the store expecting the worst but was surprised to be told another shopper had found the ring among supermarket shelves and handed it in. Now Bonner wants to find the person who handed it in and thank them.
She wrote to the general manager of the supermarket and was advised security did not want to look through their security footage to identify the Good Samaritan who had found the ring and handed it in. “They said it was too timeconsuming. “But then they rung me after I sent the email, saying they had checked and it was a customer. They couldn’t tell me who because of the Privacy Act.” The signet ring held sentimental value to her as her sister had given it to her as a wedding gift before she died. “My sister poured her heart out on it. When I went to collect the ring [from the supermarket] I wrote in their log book. I wanted to gift $100 to the person who found it.” The ring bore the emblem of a doe, a female deer, which was important in Scandinavian and Scottish folklore, she said. The doe was known as the deer mother was known as the “great goddess of the winter solstice”. As the story goes, the mother deer was stronger than male reindeer and was leader of the bucks who led the sleigh of St Nicholas, or Santa Claus. - NZME

A North Shore wife was oblivious to the fact she had stashed a winning Lotto ticket worth $7.2 million in a drawer for 11 days before finally checking it at the weekend. The woman finally took a pile of Lotto tickets to the shops at the weekend and was in shock when the words “First Division Winner” appeared on the screen. She jumped in her car and raced home to tell her husband – still unaware of just how much the couple who have children had won. “I kept telling myself that it would just be a small prize – a nice little win. I was doing everything I could to just keep calm and get home,” the woman said. “Then I looked the results up online and checked them against my ticket – the winning line jumped out at me and I popped a little star beside it. Not that I really needed to – I’ll never forget what it looked like.” The winnings from the Powerball win are now sitting in their bank account while they decide what to do with it.
“We’re going to take our time – we feel very lucky and want to make sure the winnings last, both for us and our kids,” the woman said. The couple said the most important thing was to make sure the money lasted and that they could use it to help out their loved ones. While they felt very lucky to be winners, it was also still a bit “surreal”. The winning Powerball ticket for the Wednesday September 12 Lotto draw was sold at Pak’nSave Silverdale. - NZME
Police seek Good Samaritan Police are wanting to speak with the Good Samaritan who stopped to help rescue a woman jogger in Christchurch last week. The woman was at the entrance to Ray Blank Park on Maidstone Road in Ilam last Friday morning when a 27-year-old man tried to abduct her. The woman was fighting the man off at about 5.50am when a driver who was passing by spotted them and stopped to help the victim. The offender then sped away on his bike down Maidstone Road towards Avonhead and the rescuer followed him to a nearby cul-de-sac. Police later arrested the man
and laid two charges. Marcel Sydney Geros, 27, appeared at Christchurch District Court on Friday afternoon charged with detaining a woman “without her consent with intent to have sexual connection with her”, and that with intent to injure, assaulted her. Geros was remanded in custody without plea until October 4 by Judge Tom Gilbert. He is expected to enter pleas and apply for bail. Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Worner said last week he would like to thank the person who helped the jogger for their “invaluable assistance”. - NZME

OUR VIEW
The power of three benefits district O
ne year on from last year’s election and decisions made locally in the voting booth appear to be proving strong choices. One could argue that the Ashburton District is currently being better served than it ever has for quite some time with three representatives from within the boundaries of our two electorates. And although it might not always be about the Ashburton District and the issues we are facing – the presence of Andrew Falloon, MP for Rangitata, Amy Adams, MP for Selwyn and Jo Luxton, Labour list MP from Ashburton, has undoubtedly helped raise the profile of our
fine region. Falloon has been particularly vocal and present throughout the first 12 months of the term. He’s been a frequent face at many local and community events and has been seen lending his hand where required along with his wife, Rose. It is vitally important that our electorate MPs are prominent figures within the boundaries
of government and Falloon has seemed more like a seasoned campaigner in the debating chamber than what his actual experience would suggest. Not afraid to sink his teeth into a good juicy subject, he’s doing his homework and heading in well-prepared for the battle and showing his strength nice and early in his political career. Similarly, Luxton is really settling into her work as well. Stuck in the unenviable position of being a List MP but not an electorate MP, her role for this region currently is arguably not as intense as Falloon’s but she’s still producing the advocating lines when required and looks to have really grown into the role
and developed, particularly over the past six months. Her results 12 months ago at the polling booth suggested that the national stronghold on this region was perhaps ever-soslightly waning in some corners with a closer result than in other recent elections and thus Luxton’s gains were always going to need to be built on if she’s to turn the result around even further at the next election. Perhaps not quite as public as Falloon in her presence, Luxton is still hitting the Mid Canterbury ground running and appearing at as many events as she can. Not much needs to be said about the work of Adams.
Although her electorate forms just a small part of our region, she’s still vitally important with so many links between the two and that intertwining feeling of next-door neighbours. Through her high-ranking within the National party, she’s always a prominent figure and continues to excel in government and looks destined for some higher honours in the future. They might not always get it right, or say the right thing in the heat of the moment, but we should be thankful we have such strong people standing up for our district at the highest level and one can only hope it continues for the following 12 months.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, September 25, the 268th day of 2018. There are 97 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On September 25, 1513, Spanish explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa crossed the Isthmus of Panama and sighted the Pacific Ocean. On this date: In 1690, one of the earliest American newspapers, Publick Occurrences, published its first — and last — edition in Boston. In 1775, American Revolutionary War hero Ethan Allen was captured by the British as he led an attack on Montreal. (Allen was released by the British in 1778.) In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson collapsed after a speech in Pueblo, Colorado, during a national speaking tour in support of the Treaty of Versailles. In 1956, the first trans-Atlantic telephone cable officially went into service with a three-way ceremonial call between New York, Ottawa and London. In 1957, nine black students who’d been forced to withdraw from Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, because of unruly white crowds were escorted to class by members of the US Army’s 101st Airborne Division. In 1978, 144 people were killed when a Pacific Southwest Airlines Boeing 727 and a private plane collided over San Diego. In 1992, NASA’s Mars Observer blasted off on a $980 million mission to the red planet (the probe disappeared just before entering Martian orbit in August 1993). In 1997, President Bill Clinton pulled open the door of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, as he welcomed nine blacks who had faced hate-filled mobs 40 years earlier.

A code of conduct and a complaints process are great steps in the right direction to policing the stock agents industry, but much more needs to be done.
Complaints process first small step on the journey T
he introduction of a formalised complaints process for stock agents is a good start to tackling wider issues within an industry that impacts so many people who make their money from the land. The recent creation of the complaints process and a code of conduct by the New Zealand Stock & Station Agents Association are good building blocks for an industry rocked by alleged poor behaviour by stock agents. A South Island stock and station company is facing multiple lawsuits from farmer clients claiming to be hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket from transactions done on their behalf by a representative of the firm – there is every chance people are going to lose their properties because of this, and there is an ongoing Serious Fraud Office (SFO) investigation into alleged poor behaviour of a former employee of the same stock and station trading company. It was hoped the SFO investigation would have been completed by now and the recommendations in their report could be used to start building regulation around the stock agent industry, but the wheels of justice are slow so we have
Miles Anderson FROM THE FARM
to deal with what we have got coming into place. I do appreciate the gestures of the code of conduct and the complaints process, but they are still just voluntary systems that are only as good as the people who sign up to them. It is good that now, if you deal with an agent who has signed up to the code of practice, that you can access a form of redress if something does happen to you, but will it be good enough to get rid of people who shy away from ethics? And will the system actually have the teeth to deal with its cowboys? Well that’s to be tested and I wish my counterparts at the association the very best of luck as they begin to make their first moves at self-regulation. MPs are still looking to legislate and clean up the industry because there is still a risk of mates looking after mates. What has been put up is the chance to use the association as mediators
and that adds transparency to the sale and purchase process. And regulation isn’t just to support farmers and their families – regulation would protect above board ethical stock agents which would be 99 per cent of them. Farmers aren’t beyond reproach either and I accept that – there is the odd farmer who can be unscrupulous and stock agents need to be able to address their concerns through legitimate avenues. Farmers who behave in an unethical fashion undermine both industries. We see it as a positive move what the association is doing, but somehow we need to compel non-affiliated agents to institute similar processes. Non -affiliated agents make up about 35 per cent of the industry. We need the industry to start this self-regulation process because if we end up waiting for the Government we could be waiting for years and costs of implementing any new system will be borne by farmers. With the code of practice, where it’s getting agents to be transparent about their involvement with their interests in other entities, it allows farmers who are dealing with those agents to make an informed decision
around the transaction. A lot of ill feeling is caused when a stock agent buys from a farmer when it’s not clear he is acting on his own behalf, keeps the animals on his property for a day or two, then on-sells at a substantial profit. It seems incredible that an industry that is dealing with large sums of money and has such an important role to play in biosecurity has so little regulatory oversight. So the issues are big and the journey to clean up the industry has started so that is to be congratulated, but more needs to happen and we know some MPs have taken a personal interest in the SFO investigation, and like us are waiting to see the decision. Discussions about this topic have run hot and cold for years. We need some finality.

■ FONTERRA ELECTIONS
Two locals vie for board seats By Tim Cronshaw
Tim.c@Theguardian.co.nz
Mid Canterbury farmer and MHV Water irrigation scheme chairman John Nicholls is standing for the Fonterra board with South Canterbury’s Leonie Guiney the other self-nominated director candidate. Nicholls is a co-director/owner of the Rylib Group, with six farms in the Ashburton and Hinds regions producing about 2.5 million kilograms of milksolids last season. He heads the governance of the Mid Canterbury scheme formed last year after the merger of Mayfield Hinds Irrigation and Valetta Irrigation. Nicholls is among five candidates vying for three seats on the co-operative’s board. He wants more directors on the board with livelihoods which depended on a milk cheque on the “20th of the month’’. “Unfortunately we haven’t
Mark and Devon Slee are former Canterbury Ballance Farm Environment Award winners. seen the performance the last 12 months and we have seen a reduction in shareholder value and some of our investments haven’t come to fruition.’’
Guiney served on the board for three years but failed to win board nomination last year. The other candidates are Peter McBride, Jamie Tuuta and Ashley
Waugh who were announced two weeks ago as independent nomination candidates. Waugh is retiring by rotation and will stand again, while former chairman John Wilson and Nicola Shadbolt have stood down. In the five-way tussle for three seats candidates must now receive more than 50 per cent of shareholder support. If more than three candidates reach this level then the trio with the highest level of support will be elected. Fonterra shareholders will have the opportunity to meet the director candidates at seven locations throughout the country, including at the Ashburton Hotel on October 23. There will be no election for the directors’ remuneration committee, as shareholders David Gasquoine and Stephen Silcock have stood unopposed. Mid Canterbury dairy farmer Mark Slee is the sole candidate standing for central Canterbury’s
ward 21 in the shareholder council elections. His name was the only one nominated so no election is required for the ward. His acceptance will not be formally confirmed until the results of other ward elections are revealed at the co-operative’s annual meeting. Slee and his wife Devon, from Ealing, won the Canterbury Ballance Farm Environment Awards in 2014. They did a European study trip as part of their prize to get a better understanding of overseas indoors farming systems and New Zealand’s pastoral advantage. Only one candidate was nominated for eight of the 10 shareholder council wards, including Michelle Pye for ward 22 in South Canterbury. An election is required for the Waipa and Tasman wards. Voting papers will go out to shareholders on October 15 with internet or post voting closing at 10.30am on November 6 and the results announced later that day.
Aussies take shearing bragging rights as losing streak continues By Tim Cronshaw
Tim.c@Theguardian.co.nz
Australia has taken the upper hand again at a trans-Tasman machine shearing test to extend a winning run since Rakaia man Tony Coster was among a threeman victorious New Zealand team eight years ago. The Kiwi team of world champions John Kirkpatrick, Nathan Stratford and Rowland Smith was unable to break Australia’s grip on the machine shearing title. The trio of Kirkpatrick from Napier, Stratford from Invercargill and Smith from Hastings
were forced to concede to the home side at the Royal Perth Show with the Australians winning by 12.25 points. New Zealand has lost eight machine shearing tests in Australia since Cam Ferguson, Coster and Grant Smith won at Hay, New South Wales, in 2010. Coster hung up his competitive shears last year after 70-plus open wins. The loss was balanced with a New Zealand victory to Tony Dobbs of Fairlie and Allen Gemmell of Rangiora in the blade shearing test. Otherwise, the Aussies took
bragging rights after a surprise woolhandling win for an overall 2-1 victory on Sunday. It was just the tenth win for Australia in the 40 woolhandling tests and 20 years since woolhandling was added to the transTasman series in 1998. Reigning world champion Joel Henare of Gisborne and 2008 world champion Sheree Alabaster of Taihape were favoured to give New Zealand its sixth win in a row since Australia last won at Masterton in 2015. But Australia’s Mel Morris and Sophie Huf narrowly won by 1.9
points. Australia has now won 34 of the 64 machine shearing tests since regular home-and-away matches started in 1974. At least New Zealand has won all 10 blade shearing tests since annual matches started in 2010 with Dobbs shearing in six of them. Results: Machine shearing (12 sheep): Australia 182.6 points – Daniel McIntyre 15 minutes 2 seconds, 58.85 points; Jason Wingfield 14min 17sec, 61.183pts; Shannon Warnest 16min 18sec, 62.567pts beat New Zealand
194.85pts – Rowland Smith 16min 28sec, 62.733pts; John Kirkpatrick 16min 25sec, 64pts; Nathan Stratford 17min 9sec, 68.117pts. Blade shearing (three sheep): New Zealand 128.7pts – Tony Dobbs 9min 57sec, 52.85pts; Allen Gemmell 12min 37sec, 75.85pts beat Australia 152.78pts – Ken French 11min 18sec, 74.567pts; Andrew Murray 14min 11sec, 78.217pts. Woolhandling: Australia – Mel Morris, Sophie Huf 24.68pts beat New Zealand – Joel Henare, Sheree Alabaster 26.58pts.

MARKET REPORT
Taxes the new threat for farmers BY GUY TRAFFORD The well-known Chinese ‘curse’ “may you live in interesting times” certainly seems apt for farmers and landowners. They must be wondering what they’ve done to deserve all the attention. Actually, we know what it is and environmental pressures and perceived social justice or injustices are at the heart of much of the focus. The latest threat to farming families is the potential imposition of capital gains and environmental taxes. With regard to a capital gains tax, while it is not a given that one will be applied, it is highly likely and more a case of when. In this case, it is the “social justice” focus even more than revenue gathering that appears to be a driver. As with many of the changes that are coming to all businesses, it will be in the detail that the threats will come from. In principle, a capital gains tax has much to be applauded. It, as with all taxes, is a means to redistribute wealth and so long as it is only applied on land at sale not on land value increase, without sales then the financial burden will be less onerous. However, there will be impacts that will be felt. The Tax Review Group, led by Sir Michael Cullen, recognises that a capital gains tax is very likely to lower land values. For some farming sectors the land gains are all that provide a profit base to farming as the trading business after expenses can be very slim. The Tax Group also recognise that farmers, by and large, are price takers and unable to pass on added costs and risks to consumers of their products, unlike many other businesses. This doesn’t mean that landowners should be exempt but rather have a discretionary rate which can consider some of the specific traits of farming although the Tax Group are not pursuing this line. Currently the proposed tax rate mooted is the marginal rate of the land owners involved. Given the scale of farming, if on a PAYE system this will mean a 33 per cent rate when the land sale value is added to income. The marginal tax rate proposal is likely to mean that landowners will be encouraged to put land ownership into a company to reduce the future tax liability from 33 to 28 per cent. Currently there is no likelihood to lower company tax. Presumably, there will be a common start date for all land. It may actually mean, if the drop in land values do occur at this point, as future owners see land as a less profitable investment, then the IRD could end up being liable for paying out for tax losses if land sales close after the start date do in fact lose value. The current thinking is that land values should not be inflation adjusted (as wages and incomes are not) and this will reduce the potential of land value drops. As the family home will not be taxed, land owners will need to make sure that they define the curtilage of farming properties to reduce the tax liability. The downside of this is that for the purposes of rates etc this area is reduced in its tax deductibility. For new entrants to farming, if a lower land price is a result, then some good has occurred however, for the majority this is yet more erosion of the asset base. Environmental taxes are the other potential cost to farming. Three areas have been mentioned as having the potential to be taxed. They are; green house gas emis-

sions, water pollution and water abstraction. As with the capital gains tax, it will be in the detail where the interest is. However, certainly in the likes of greenhouse gases, taxes are seen as a very blunt instrument which often do not provide the incentives to reduce and are more around gathering revenue rather than changing behaviour. No doubt a lot more discussion will be had and when politics is concerned obvious outcomes are not always easy to see.
Sheep While prices are still firm in the saleyards, certainly some of the gloss has gone off. This is partially a result of the old season coming to an end and the new not yet under way. This is also being reflected in all schedules with processors taking small bites out. Perhaps to leave some room to apply incentives to supply in the future when there are more new season’s lambs coming through. A reminder to those interested in a new sheep industry, a meeting regarding future sheep dairying and potential processing is being held at the Darfield High School hall this Thursday at 7pm.
Wool Prices have had a small slip at the latest Napier sale, with little fine wool sale to compare to the previous Christchurch sale.
Cattle Most of the reductions to beef schedules took place in the North Island and were contained to the cow schedules in the South Island. One processor has commented on the number volumes of manufacturing cows coming forward. Although in their case, they have held the schedule.
Venison After the drop of a couple of weeks ago, venison is back on the rise, with a 10 cent increase this week. Apparently, this is due to the increased in chilled demand for the game season. Whatever the reason any lift is welcomed.
Dairy After last week’s GDT auction price drop there is increasing concern that Fonterra has been too bullish in its predictions for the coming season. Westpac has dropped their forecast down to $6.25 and others no doubt will be following. The success or otherwise of this season may be largely decided by the Kiwi dollar value versus the US$ and there is plenty to speculate around that.

■ ENGLAND HIGH COURT
Watson told to pay Glenn $49.4m A UK court has ordered Eric Watson ordered to pay £25,259,986.49 ($NZ49.4 million) plus costs in a court case brought by Sir Owen Glenn’s Kea Investments. Glenn, who has been battling cancer since 2012, won a legal victory over Watson In July. The High Court in England and Wales ruled Watson had engaged in “deliberate deception” when the pair set up a joint venture. Glenn had seen a large chunk of his fortune tied up in the arrangement, and had spent the past five years fighting in English, California and British Virgin Islands courts to extricate himself and his £129 million ($250m). He’s was seeking compensation for legal costs and the opportunity cost of having the money frozen – although that won’t be decided until September and he can’t comment on how much he is seeking. Watson has said he disputed the judgment. He originally said he had a new legal team and would look to appeal the decision. “This is by no means over and I look forward to success in the course of time,” Watson said in
Eric Watson August. However, a statement from the Glenn camp yesterday indicated that at “a further hearing on 10 and 13 September 2018, to deal with consequential matters, Mr Watson made clear that he does not wish to pursue any appeal”. The court has ordered Watson to

I am totally determined to pursue Mr Watson to the ends of the earth – if necessary taking action against his trusts and third parties holding assets on his behalf – to ensure he pays every penny that is found due.” Glenn is in New Zealand this week to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Auckland Business School, which he helped fund with a donation of $15 million in 2002. In August, Glenn told the Herald he was getting on with his philanthropic work and optimistic about the future. “Mate, I’ve got tickets to the Olympics and I’ve got tickets to the Rugby World Cup,” he said. “You can either give up or you can just keep going. That’s it.” “My latest scans are all clear so that’s good news but every three months I go along and roll the dice.” - NZME

Dairy farmers in southern Chile say Fonterra’s continuing underpayment for their milk has left them little choice but to build their own processing co-operative. The South American country’s second-biggest dairying operator, the part Kiwi-owned Chilterra company, and about 200 farming families were in advanced stages of planning the new co-operative, said chairman Mike McBeath, a Waikato dairying consultant and businessman. The next step was to raise $US10 to 12 million to build a processing plant. Chilterra is a Chilean company in which New Zealanders have a significant, but not controlling, shareholding. With nine farms, it is a big supplier to Fonterra’s ingredients business in Chile, Prolesur, which operates in the south of the country. Parent company, Fonterra subsidiary Soprole, operates in the north. Soprole said it sourced about 30 per cent of its daily fresh milk from Prolesur. Chilterra employs 140 people, mostly Chileans, and will likely supply 30 million litres of milk this year to Prolesur, McBeath said. Latest Chilean industry figures show milk supply to Prolesur has been steadily falling since 2015, when the company had 24 per cent of the milk market. In 20072008 it had 26 per cent of the market. Today it has 19.5 per cent. In contrast, milk supply to Chilean co-operative Colun has risen steeply since 2015 and it now has 27.4 per cent. The other big two
Mike McBeath milk companies in Chile are Nestle, whose supply has also been declining, with a market share of 18.3 per cent, and Watts which has 13.9 per cent and relatively flat supply. Fonterra, a farmer-owned cooperative, responded: “Prolesur’s milk collections have decreased in the last year ... Prolesur’s market share has declined slightly as it moves away from winter bonus payments and encourages its farmers to stick to a pasture-based farming model.” Chile had enormous potential for dairying because it doesn’t produce enough milk to meet domestic market demand and, Fonterra included, had to import milk powder, McBeath said. He said supply to Fonterra has been falling because farmers are going bankrupt and getting out of farming. “Fonterra, Nestle and Watts lead the milk price and they keep driving the price down. “Fonterra is taking advantage and making massive profits. For the 200 pesos a litre we receive for our milk, almost 100 pesos comes
back here (New Zealand) as dividends.” McBeath said Fonterra takes advantage by setting its milk price at export price level which is lower than milk fetches on the domestic market. But it sells to the local consumer market. “They transfer everything out to Soprole which shows a big profit.” Fonterra, in a written response, said Chile was a net importer of dairy products. “In addition to domestic factors, global import/export prices can influence local prices.” In contrast to the 200-220 pesos a litre Chilterra has been paid in recent years, Colun suppliers received around 330-345 pesos a litre, McBeath said. He said 200 pesos was equivalent to about $5.70kg milksolids in New Zealand but climate required Chilean farmers to buy a lot more supplementary feed out of their milk price than Kiwi farmers. Fonterra’s New Zealand forecast milk price this season is $6.75/ kgMS. “A farmer can’t reinvest to develop, can’t upgrade their facilities. So he lets it all run down, he sells his capital stock in order to survive and before he knows it, he’s bankrupt. That’s why all these farms have closed. “This is about Chile and Chilean people. New Zealanders are the visitors. “If we are going into Chile we need to say we’re going to support you to grow – not we’re going to come in and take as much profit from you as we possibly can. And that’s what’s happening – we are killing the local farmers.” - NZME

Monster shark caught A “monster” fifth shark has been caught in the same area where a young New Zealand girl and a woman were mauled in separate attacks last week. Witnesses said the shark appeared to be the biggest yet caught by Fisheries Queensland since a controversial cull began in Cid Harbour on Friday. One yachtie at the scene told friends: “This one’s a monster.” Three tiger sharks were shot by Fisheries Queensland officers on Saturday after being caught on drumlines, installed in the harbour the previous day in response to the attacks. Two were 3.3m in length and the other 2m. Yesterday, a fourth tiger shark – the biggest to be caught so far at 3.7m – was caught and shot. Twelve-year-old schoolgirl Hannah Papps, whose parents are from New Zealand, remains in a critical but stable condition after being mauled by a shark in Cid Harbour, north of Hamilton Island, last week. Four of the sharks caught since the attacks have been tiger sharks. The tiger shark caught in Cid Harbour on Sunday was 3.7m long. A Fisheries Queensland spokesman said one of the sharks caught yesterday would have posed a serious threat to people swimming in Cid Harbour. “The shark has been humanely euthanised and will be taken further out to sea for disposal,” the spokesman said.
First taste of Auckland
Tiger sharks have been caught and killed near where two New Zealanders were attacked. “The three drumlines deployed last week will remain in place over the coming days. “The intention is to remove large dangerous sharks from the area and reduce the risk to people. “Clearly there are a significant number of active sharks in local waters and people are urged not to swim.” Fisheries staff on Saturday caught three other tiger sharks – one 3.3m, one 2.6m and the other over 2m – in the Cid Harbour area. They were all destroyed. “While sharks of this size are potentially very dangerous to humans, it is unclear if they were responsible for injuries caused to two swimmers this week,” a Department of Agri-
culture and Fisheries spokesman said then. “Sharks are definitely active in the harbour and this reinforces the Minister’s message that people should not swim in the area.’’ A woman who lives on a boat in Cid Harbour said the first two sharks had been shot within minutes of each other. “Five shots were used on second shark. “Minutes after first shark,” she said. “Sharks are everywhere. We always catch them.” Three drumlines were deployed in Sawmill Bay on Friday. They will remain there for at least the next week. The captures come as the
first shark attack victim, Justine Barwick, is showing goods signs of recovery following an incredible 18-hour surgery to save her leg. Her husband Craig said the surgery took longer than anticipated. He said that the specialists had “repaired ligaments and other structures including nerve, skin and muscle grafting to reconstruct the injured limb”. “It looks like they have done an amazing job, it looks like it has always been there,” Barwick said. He said that, after two to three weeks in recovery, his wife would be able to return to Tasmania for further rehabilitation. - AAP

Relative of Bulger’s killer mocks murder A relative of James Bulger’s killer has sparked outrage by sharing a sick photo mocking the boy’s murder. James, 2, was abducted, tortured, and murdered by 10-year-olds Robert Thompson and Jon Venables in 1993 in Bootle, Merseyside. A relative of Thompson, who, like Venables, was released from jail with a new identity in 2001, shared a photo of a boy lying on train tracks on Facebook. The post was designed to mock Thompson during a family row because the killer had left James’ battered body on a train line, the Daily Mail reports. The image was taken down after two days but enraged James’ father Ralph. According to The Sun on Sunday, he told friends: “Posting a photo of a child on a train track is utterly sick.
American singer and actress Cher has had a real taste of Auckland during her Here We Go Again tour – enjoying a sweeter moment at Giapo. The 72-yearold sampled the Chocolate Evolution Cone gelato at the Gore St store after one of her Auckland shows. Giapo coowner Annarosa Petrucci said the staff were wowed by her appearance, as Cher was one of the biggest international stars to have visited the store. “She was a sweetheart, she was so kind with the staff and with the customers,” Petrucci said.
J-Law into politics? Jennifer Lawrence has hinted she’s keen to move into politics. The Silver Linings Playbook actress admitted it is a subject she is very “passionate” about and she’s keen to learn more about the subject. She said: “I think being outspoken and having a passion for justice is part of my make-up. As I have gotten older, my passion grew into politics.” Asked if it’s a career option, she added: “Acting is always going to be my first passion but I’m incredibly passionate about politics. I’m always educating myself.”
James Bulger was two when he was murdered by Thompson and Venables.
Guthrie considers options
“It’s cruel and nasty and pokes fun at how my son died. “How am I supposed to feel at James being the butt of a social media prank? “How dare this family treat my son and his murder with such contempt?” It comes after Ralph and his brother Jimmy Bulger announced plans to challenge a
High Court order giving killer Jon Venables lifelong anonymity. Solicitor Robin Makin, for the Bulgers, said that the injunction was granted in 2002 on the basis that Venables was rehabilitated and would not re-offend. But he has since been convicted twice and sent back to jail over indecent im-
ages of children, most recently in February. Charged after police found more than 1000 indecent images on his computer, he was jailed for three years and four months after admitting surfing the dark web for extreme child abuse images and possessing a “sickening” paedophile manual. - PA
A devastated Michelle Guthrie is considering her legal options after she was sacked as ABC managing director. Board chairman Justin Milne said her relationship with the government could have been better, and she was not the right leader for the ABC. But Guthrie said there is no justification for her sacking yesterday, just two-and-a-half years into her five year term. “I am devastated by the board’s decision to terminate my employment despite no claim of wrongdoing on my part,” she said.

The diversity of suffrage BY KATHLEEN STRINGER
R
eaders may have enjoyed activities run in connection with the 125th anniversary of the Electoral Act, 1893. Most will be aware that we were the first country to allow women the vote, although territories or states – such as Wyoming in America – were earlier. While we often hear the term women’s suffrage, some women, like some men, could vote much earlier than 1893. In 1876, the Municipal Corporations Act allowed ratepayers of either gender to vote. In 1879 all men could vote regardless of whether they owned land or not. Interestingly, Maori men obtained this “right” in 1867, although most owned land communally. What we celebrate therefore, is more accurately termed universal suffrage, as by this act, everyone (except non-British subjects, lunatics and prisoners) were given the right to vote. The pin-up girl of suffrage in New Zealand has to be Kate Sheppard. The radical, outspoken and determined woman who, along with many others, pleaded and protested to enable women to vote. As Kate lived in Christchurch, many of the more wellknown people involved in this movement, were fellow Cantabrians. However, we should not assume that only here in Canterbury was the call for universal franchise clear and loud. It was a nationwide movement that gathered into its fold many diverse opinions and goals. Although some strived solely for the right to vote, many, like Kate herself, were members of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, who saw voting rights as a means to attain their goal of prohibition. It is not surprising, therefore, that during the first two decades after 1893, towns, such as Ashburton, became dry. Others sought a more democratic country where women, who for years worked alongside, or instead of, men in all manner of occupations, were given the respect and acknowledgement they deserved. It is also easy to assume that this movement was gender spe-
cific. Men too believed in equality and freedom and fought as hard, if not harder, to achieve this. While Kate is a familiar face – blazoned on everything from a $10 note and stamps to crossing lights in Wellington, almost no accolade is given to the two men most actively supportive of women’s right to vote. The men’s vote The massive petition, the third such undertaking, signed by over 32,000 women, was presented to Parliament by Sir John Hall. Former Premier of New Zealand, Hall was a member of the House of Representatives and represented the Ellesmere electorate, which encompassed parts of today’s Ashburton District. The Hall family were very early runholders of the area that included Ashburton. Not a lone voice, other members of parliament supported him, if only verbally. However, one of the most active supporters of the movement was Alfred Saunders. Saunders was member for Cheviot, but for a number of years had lived in Ashburton and owned a flour mill here.
Above – Sir John Hall. Above left – A cartoon depicting the achievement of women to vote. Left – Alfred Saunders.
Saunders Road is named after him. Mid Canterbury can rightly claim, therefore, a strong connection to the suffrage story. While we may celebrate Kate and her female companions, we must also acknowledge the men, such as Hall and Saunders, who voted to support the bill, as within Parliament at that time there were only men who could confer that right to women.
While the road towards voting rights was difficult, it certainly wasn’t as dangerous as for women from countries, such as England who suffered, and in some circumstances died, for the same cause. It has been suggested that New Zealand men had more of a respect for women due to the role they played in breaking in the new country. Our women At this time you may consider how you may wish to acknowledge or celebrate this milestone. Perhaps you may wish to visit the suffrage petition online to see if any of your female ancestors signed the petition. Don’t despair if they didn’t. Many areas weren’t canvassed or reached, and as this
Honouring the Fallen During the period of the First World War, 1914 to 1915, many men from the Ashburton District signed up to fight for the Empire against the German army. Many did not return — almost 450 from Ashburton were killed. The first Ashburton men were killed on April 25, 1915 — the first Anzac Day. Ashburton philanthropist and patriot Frederick Ferriman presented a special flag and a flagpole to the families of those men. The Ashburton Museum with the assistance of the Rotary Club of Ashburton Plains, has erected in front of the Museum one of the original Ferriman flagpoles, and on the centennial of the death of each Ashburton soldier will fly a replica flag. An original flag is on display in the Museum.

petition was the third petition in a very short time, some women only signed the first two and these have not all survived. Perhaps you may take a moment and think about the many women that made an impact through their strength – the mothers, aunts, grandmothers, teachers, sisters and friends who may not make it on to a paper currency or a stamp, but made an impact on your life.

■ GOLF
Comeback complete By Evin PriEst Tiger Woods has capped one of the most remarkable individual comebacks in sporting history with a victory at the Tour Championship yesterday, his 80th PGA Tour title. The 14-time major champion and overnight leader closed with a one-over-par 71 and at 11 under he finished two shots ahead of runner-up Billy Horschel (66). It is the first victory worldwide for Woods since the 2013 WGCBridgestone and he is now just two titles shy of Sam Snead’s alltime list record of 82. Dustin Johnson (67) finished third at seven under, while world No.1 Justin Rose (73) won the $US10 million FedExCup bonus with a share of fourth. The Englishman two-putted the last hole to secure the seasonlong points race. Having sat on the sidelines for 10 months last year while recovering from spinal fusion surgery and facing the possibility of never playing golf again, former world No.1 Woods’ ranking plummeted to 1199 in November. But yesterday the 42-year-old tapped in for par at the par-5 18th at East Lake Golf Club to earn a storybook win that will propel Woods eight spots to world No.13. Woods marched up to the 72nd hole with rock concert scenes un-
folding behind him as thousands of fans ignored security and police officers to walk the fairway and soak up the occasion. “It was just a grind out there but I loved every minute of it,” Woods said. “As this year progressed, I proved I could play, I found a swing, put the pieces together and knew I could do it again. “I had a hard time not crying on the last hole; I still had shots to play so I had to suck it up. “But once I got the ball on the green I gave (caddie) Joey (LaCava) a high five because it was done.” The victory was nothing like the clinical finishes during Woods in his world-beating prime, but he has maintained a perfect record when holding a 54-hole lead of more than two shots. He started the day with a three-shot lead and at one stage increased that to five before the wheels seemed to fall off on the back nine. He bogeyed the 10th but responded with a birdie three holes later but two consecutive bogeys from the 15th had fans getting nervous. But when he piped his drive 348 yards down the fairway on the last, it was a coronation despite Woods putting his second in the green-side bunker and then missing the ensuing birdie putt. - AAP
In brief Tough season for Day Jason Day has urged himself to balance an insatiable work ethic next season after admitting burnout engulfed what was promising to be a stellar year. The former world No.1 looked to be marching back towards golf’s top ranks when he kicked off 2018 with victories at the Farmers Open and Wells Fargo. But having registered just one top-10 since May, Day admitted the second half of the year left him disappointed as he finished the season-ending Tour Championship in 18th place. - AAP
Ryder Cup on the move However baffled Bubba Watson was in 2011 by Paris, with its big tower (Eiffel) and arch (Arc de Triomphe), America’s golfers had better get used to the Ryder Cup’s Grand Tour.

This week’s Ryder Cup is the first in France and only the second played outside Britain. - PA
Lewis holds his nerve England’s Tom Lewis has survived a nerve-wracking finish to win his second European Tour title in the Portugal Masters yesterday.

The Kiwi golfer had given himself a shot at another big finish when he carded a sizzling third-round 7-under 64 to sit in a four-way tie for 15th heading into the final round at Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course, eight shots off the lead. But a level-par final round of 71 yesterday saw the 31-year-old high-flying Kiwi slide back to a share of 27th. - NZME

In brief Expensive injury San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan was watching as his star quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo scrambled toward the sideline. Rather than safely duck out of bounds, Garoppolo stepped back to his right and took a wicked shot from Kansas City cornerback Steven Nelson, possibly suffering a season-ending knee injury. Garoppolo was on the turf for a couple of minutes before he was carted off late in a 38-27 loss to Kansas City. Garoppolo signed a five-year, $137.5 million extension with the team in February. - PA

Earlier in the day, Roger Federer had survived two match points to overcome John Isner 6-7 (5-7) 7-6 (8-6) 10-7 to put Europe 10-8 ahead. - AP
TJ still defends call
Young gymnasts star on home patch Ella Graham is all style as she completes a routine at the Ashburton arm of the Olympia Gymnastics Sports club’s first ever rhythmic gymnastics competition on Sunday. The competition was held at Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre. The Ashburton Rhythmic Gymnastics Club started up in late 2016 and has had youngsters competing at events around the country regularly since, but Sunday was the first time the club had actually hosted its own competition. The club was also set to host a have-a-go day at the EA Networks Centre tomorrow from 3.30pm until 4.30pm, for kids aged four to nine. Among those performing well from Ashburton were Maisy Bowan and Marama Harrison who took individual golds, while Harrison, Gracie Moses and Arnica Copland won individual bronzes, and Hayley Duffel won a bronze overall. Harrison also took a third overall and a silver individual placing. PHOTO HEATHER MACKENZIE 230918-HM-022
Halfback TJ Perenara is ready to talk it over with his All Blacks team-mates. The All Blacks squad is going through their review of the shock loss to the Springboks as they prepare for Sunday’s clash with Argentina. Perenara was on the field in the closing stages of the 36-34 defeat and continues to defend the team’s decision to run the ball instead of searching for a dropped goal. “In all honesty, the winger makes the play on D-Mac. If he doesn’t make that play, we walk in. That’s what sport is. It’s the heat of the battle and you make those decisions and you learn from them hopefully.” - NZME

Pacific Island rugby set to suffer By Patrick Mckendry
T
he obvious joke in World Rugby vice-president Agustin Pichot’s reported idea about introducing a ‘League of Nations’ format involving the top 12 teams in the world is that Australia, who have dropped from fifth to seventh recently, may not qualify by the time it’s set up. But in all seriousness, if Pichot’s comments in a French newspaper are right, and he really does want to start an annual tournament in November held alternately in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, the joke might once again be on the Pacific Islands and other tier two nations. The idea has yet to be confirmed – no one from New Zealand Rugby would comment – and it may or may not get an airing at World Rugby’s meeting
in Sydney this week where rugby’s global fixture list will be thrashed out once again, but it seems on the face of it to be a case of rewarding the richer nations at the expense of the poorer ones. And that’s a theme that will surprise no one who has anything to do with Pacific Islands rugby. According to Midi Olympique, under Pichot’s proposal November tours would be scrapped from 2020 and replaced by an international competition divided into four groups of three, with three pool games followed by a semi-final and final. There is an obvious danger here that the Rugby World Cup, held every four years, would be diluted as a result and it comes at the same time as World Rugby’s head Brett Gosper pushes to expand the World Cup from 20 to 24 teams and possibly from as early as the French tournament in 2023.
To put it politely, the reaction to Gosper’s idea has been somewhat mixed, with the International Rugby Players’ Association insisting that World Rugby should try harder to close the gap between the tier one and tier two nations before thinking about grand expansion schemes which proved so disastrous for Super Rugby. Back to Pichot’s reported idea of a top-12 tournament. Under World Rugby’s official ranking system, Fiji are currently 10th, Tonga 12th (under pressure from Georgia, only .71 points behind) and Samoa, who recently appointed a new head coach in former Blues assistant Steve Jackson, 16th. For Fiji and Tonga to have such high rankings compared with, say, Six Nations side Italy (14th) is remarkable. But their grip on the ladder is tenuous at best and who knows
how they will be placed in two years. World Rugby funds 90 to 95 per cent of the Pacific Islands nations’ budgets. Hopefully in Sydney this week they will discuss some ideas about providing a more meaningful fixture list to a group of countries who have provided the game with such rich talent over the years. But it’s difficult to go past the recent comments of current International Rugby Players’ Association boss Omar Hassanein, who told Fairfax Media in Australia: “Some might argue that the more teams getting exposure at World Cup time will address the [disparity] but what tier two nations need and part of our overall position is that not only do they need more guaranteed conditions on pay and welfare, they also need more guaranteed fixtures so that they
can begin to bridge the gap. He added: “Within the fouryear cycle we have to try to get better quality matches. “Generally, they get one big game a year but it’s a case of trying to match them up against each other more often. “The Pacific Rim tournaments, which matched the Pacific Islands with Canada, Japan and the United States, while they cost a bit of money, they were always successful.” New Zealand Rugby can help lead the way. The All Blacks’ test against Samoa in Apia before the World Cup in 2015 was an incredible success on an emotional, rather than perhaps a financial, level, and they should try to organise something similar before the All Blacks travel to rugby’s big extravaganza in Japan next year. It must be Fiji’s turn. - NZME

Cronk ‘long-shot’ for final By Matt Encarnacion Sydney Roosters halfback Cooper Cronk admits he is a “long-shot” to play in Sunday’s NRL grand final against Melbourne due to a shoulder injury. Cronk is racing the clock to be fit to take on his former club after suffering severe damage to his rotator cuff in the Roosters’ preliminary final win over South Sydney. The 34-year-old fronted media with a sling yesterday but has vowed to do everything he can to make himself available for the match. “I could move it, the best thing is just to immobilise it so I can get some recovery done, try and strengthen it up so the muscles don’t get worked over too much,” Cronk said. “The whole idea for the sling is to keep it in place, so it’s protected, and do everything I can.” Cronk was unwilling to divulge the extent of his injury but was unsure about what his realistic chances were of taking the field. “I’m a long-shot. That’s not lying.” Should he complete a miraculous recovery, the Roosters playmaker is certain to need a painkilling injection and is adamant he could play through the pain.
Having suffered the injury in the first half against the the Rabbitohs, Cronk bravely fought through the second half despite being unable to kick or run the ball. “Pain is what it is, you make it out to be as much as you want it to be. I’ll deal with it,” he said. “It’s a step process. (I need to be) passing, kicking, tackling, just being able to functionally move it. “The pain, I’m not superhuman, but the pain I’ll be able to deal with. It’s just whether I can functionally move it.” While he conceded it would be ideal to make an early call on his status in order to give his replacement time to mentally prepare, he has given himself until kick-off to decide. Utility Ryan Matterson and back-up halfback Sean O’Sullivan are options to take his place. “There’s no doubt that whoever does play, needs the repetitions. But I think considering the magnitude of the game, I might be given up to kick-off,” he said. “Eighty per cent’s a decent number. I’d go out there at 50 per cent. “I’d go out there at 30 per cent. “The whole idea about this game is we’re in an opportunity to play in a grand final.” - AAP
Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson could be forced to turn to a player with less than 10 NRL appearances to his name should Cooper Cronk miss out on the grand final. Such a figure would be a record for an NRL halfback, but instead Robinson faces the prospect of bringing in an outgoing youngster to replace him. With Luke Keary already declaring he’s ready to take control, either Ryan Matterson or Sean O’Sullivan will likely play alongside him in what will easily be the biggest game of their NRL careers. - AAP
Payback for Ferguson Blake Ferguson owes a lot in his life to the Sydney Roosters and patriarch Nick Politis. So before he packs his bags for Parramatta, the in-form winger hopes to repay them with the ultimate parting gift: an NRL premiership. In 2014, Roosters chairman Politis threw Ferguson a lifeline after he was summarily sacked by the Canberra Raiders. The former NSW State of Origin and Australian representative will play his final game for the Roosters in Sunday’s grand final before joining the Eels on a marquee deal. “(Politis) has been a big part of my career – he gave me a second chance. We’ll go this week and try to bring the trophy home.” - AAP
Chambers ducks for cover
Cooper Cronk has given himself until kick-off.
Melbourne centre Will Chambers has shied away from reigniting the sledging battle with Latrell Mitchell in Sunday’s NRL grand final against the Sydney Roosters. Chambers and Mitchell’s war of words dominated much of the State of Origin series, but when asked about it yesterday Chambers steered away from the topic. “I don’t want to talk about it,” Chambers said. - AAP

Caulfield Cup on the radar The Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) countdown for Sir Charles Road will become clearer for his connections today. The Kiwi stayer pleased his connections when he opened his Melbourne account with a solid fourth behind Night’s Watch in Saturday’s Gr.3 MRC Foundation Cup (2000m) at Caulfield, but a start in the Gr.1 Caulfield Cup (2400m) on October 20 is in limbo. “I was very pleased with his performance, but we won’t know until after the next payment (first acceptance) is made on Tuesday whether he will get in the Caulfield Cup,” co-trainer Lance O’Sullivan said. “He’s well down the list and only got 53kgs so he might not even get in. “A lot will depend on how many of the European horses pay up.” Sir Charles Road earned a tilt at the Melbourne Cup on No-

pleased to see Sir Charles Road show immediate form in Melbourne. “If he’d been beaten five or six lengths I’d have said he wasn’t up to it, but he proved he’s competitive and that was great to see,” he said. “He’s pulled up well and now we’ve just got to wait and see whether he’s going to get into the Caulfield Cup. Really it’s one race at a time.” Back on the home front, the O’Sullivan-Scott team will be ramping up this weekend with several runners at Avondale on Saturday. “We brought them (the spring and summer horses) in later this year and they’re coming up nicely,” O’Sullivan said. “We’ll have quite a few running at Avondale, including Nirvana In Fire, Fortune Patch and Andoyas and maybe Sleeping Beauty if we get some rain.” - NZME

Gunners contine to fire up By BoB Bensch London Chelsea’s perfect record in the Premier League came to an end yesterday, while Arsenal once again got the better of Everton at The Emirates Stadium. Maurizio Sarri’s side, seeking a sixth consecutive win, dominated possession but came up empty in a goalless draw at West Ham United. The Blues now sit third in the table, two points back of perfect Liverpool and behind champions Manchester City on goal difference. “This was not our best performance,” said Sarri. “I knew West Ham is a very good team. “We aren’t happy with the result.” Arsenal made it four league wins in a row by beating Everton 2-0 with goals from Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Petr Cech came up with several key saves in posting his first clean sheet as the Gunners pushed their home unbeaten run against the Toffees to 25 games. “I think 20 times maybe, Cech kept us in the game,” Aubameyang said. “I think we are improving every day and feeling good and better, so when we win it is better for the team.” Despite West Ham seeing little of the ball in the first half at the London Stadium, Michail Antonio had two good chances but came up short on both. Chelsea’s Alvaro Morata came on after the break and got right into the action with a chipped shot that hit spread-out Hammers keeper Lukasz Fabianski in the face. West Ham’s Andriy Yarmolenko then squandered the game’s best chance by sending a free header wide in the 78th minute and Fabianski ably handled two final Chelsea chances. The Hammers remain in 17th place, but took a point for the second straight game after losing their first four. “It was a good point against the leaders and a team that scored 14 goals in the first five games,” manager Manuel Pellegrini said. “I am happy with the performance and if you can’t win, then draw.” Arsenal had to work at the Emirates Stadium in continuing their domination of Everton. The Gunners were sluggish in the first half and were only level thanks to Cech, who made saves against Theo Walcott, Lucas Digne and Richarlison. Arsenal finally came to life in the 56th minute when Lacazette cut into the area and curled a shot in off the far post. They doubled their lead three minutes later when Aubameyang finished off a three-on-one attack with Mesut Oezil and Aaron Ramsey, though replays showed him to be offside. Cech then preserved the shut-out with late saves against Michael Keane and Cenk Tosun. “The result doesn’t reflect what both teams played,” Everton boss Marco Silva, whose club is 12th in the table, said. - DPA

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You appreciate people for who they are and don’t require them to be like you in order to understand them. It’s that difference that keeps both parties interested and connected, as you fill in one another’s blanks. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You know what you have to do to bring harmony to your world, but you may not feel ready. Forgiveness and detachment aren’t the easiest things, but once you let something go, it will never bother you again. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Sometimes life puts you in a position of having to fake it until you get the hang of it. But there are certain things that will just never be you. Give those up. Faking too long is bad for you. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): When you don’t want the fun to end, maybe it’s a sign you’re not getting enough of it. Pinpoint what makes a particular experience so enjoyable. There’s a way of working more of that into your days. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Having to be right all of the time eats up a lot of energy and people are annoyed by invulnerable individuals who seem to have it all figured out. Expect mistakes. Love them even. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): When you’re living in the spirit of possibility, it’s never too late and there’s no such thing as being regretful. So keep that beautiful hopeful attitude of yours alive. The world needs it. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Outer order, inner calm is the motto of the day. An effort to get your surroundings into a clean and logical arrangement will clear your mind and get you ready to prevail in the challenges to come. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Responsibility is the way to happiness. It doesn’t look like the way, but it is. Today this will have to do with making something right. As soon as you realise a mistake has been made, handle and resolve it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): It might feel unnatural for you to celebrate who you are and what you have to offer, but it’s the best thing you can do for everyone around you. When you enjoy your uniqueness, you’re a gift. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You deserve love and attention, even crave it. Better to ask yourself how you’re doing and what you need, than to risk subconsciously making things about you. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Why do people test the boundaries of a relationship? Because we all need to feel powerful and free. Also, we often don’t know where the boundaries are until we brush against them. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You didn’t seek approval, but got it anyway. That’s satisfying, but be careful because it’s addictive. Derive too much pleasure from the approval of others and you could become reliant on it.

A cold and unstable west to southwesterly flow covers the country, easing on Thursday as a ridge of high pressure builds over the country. Northerlies develop across the South Island on Friday as a front approaches from the Tasman Sea. The front then moves onto the lower South Island on Saturday.

TIGER’S BACK Tiger Woods’ storybook Tour Championship victory yesterday was part coronation, part rock concert. Thousands of fans busted through the ropes, broke PGA Tour security regulations and walked on the 18th fairway as Woods completed one of the most remarkable individual comebacks in sporting history. Woods said the scenes at his 80th PGA Tour victory, which will propel him eight spots to world No.13, were unlike any of his previous triumphs.
FULL STORY P16 Tiger Woods plays out of a bunker on his way to winning the Tour Championship at the East Lake Golf Club yesterday.
