■ QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND
Motorists urged to drive safely Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz
Local police are hoping a road safety operation in the lead-up to the long weekend will reinforce safe driving practices. Canterbury Police kicked off Operation Drive Safe yesterday, and will be promoting positive driving behaviour in a bid to reduce fatal and serious injuries on the roads. Drivers can expect to be stopped at checkpoints today and tomorrow, where police staff will share road safety messages and promotional material on safer driving. “The week prior to a holiday weekend is a great opportunity for police to reinforce safe driving messages before people set off on long distance trips,” Senior Constable Brent Cosgrove said. “We want to remind all drivers planning to head away for the long weekend to share the driving where possible, take regular breaks, and stay alert.” The same operation was held
in the run-up to Queen’s Birthday weekend last year. Wintry conditions are also starting to have an impact on road conditions, and police said it is even more important than usual to give allow time and space to react. “This means keeping a close eye on your speed and following distances, and being patient with other drivers on the road,” Cosgrove said. Ahead of the official start of winter on June 1, NZTA are also urging drivers to remember that driving on exposed highway roads can be treacherous in extreme weather conditions. They urge drivers to be prepared and plan their journeys by checking the weather forecast, checking road conditions, choosing the safest route even if it is the longest, and driving to the conditions. The roads are expected to be slippery this weekend, with Metservice forecasting light rain on Sunday, and more rain throughout Monday.
Drivers need to stack From P1 Fauth said the agency also regularly conducted vehicle counts, with the latest showing 24,000 vehicles crossing the bridge a day. Around 9000 vehicles were logged coming into Ashburton on State Highway 1 and 7000 exiting the town via the highway. One submitter said the Tintersection of Grahams Road
and State Highway 1 at Tinwald was also an accident waiting to happen because of an increase in the number of trucks using it – heavy trucks and trailers were coming and going from the Lake Hood gravel pit, to a repair shop on one corner and Sim’s Bakery on the other. Other submitters said the only way to ease traffic on the bridge and through Tinwald was with a bypass.
The EA Networks Centre is set to gain some extra facilities in the long-term plan.
■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL LONG-TERM PLAN
Climbing wall, learner pool and splash deck included in plan By Linda CLarKe
Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz
The Ashburton District Council has agreed to include a climbing wall, new learner pool and splash deck at the EA Networks Centre in its long-term plan. Support for the wall came in at around 60 per cent when the idea went out for consultation and councillors this week agreed to peg it for year two of their 10-year plan. The indoor climbing wall would cost around $300,000 and councillors have asked for more information on construction and operational costs. It is expected to be self-funding and not infringe on current court space. If the option is viable, a report and recommendation will be made to council. The additional swim school pool and splash deck was pegged for year three. It will cost $5.2 million and provide more opportunity for children to learn to swim – current classes are full and use of the facility is expected to grow even more.
Council also plans to extend the covered stadium floor by two courts in year seven. The climbing wall did generate some worries amongst submitters. Netball and basketball administrators fear it would take one court out of play. Pauline Paterson, of Basketball Mid Canterbury, said the organisation was not against the idea of a climbing wall, just not in the stadium. It would cut down the amount of court-side space, leaving little or no room for referees, teams or scorebenches. Mid Canterbury Netball said it would be a safety issue and there would also be no room for spectators. Both sports said having only three courts available for simultaneous play in the main stadium would deny opportunities to host major tournaments when at least four courts at a time were needed. The development of the sportsfields adjoining the centre has been pegged for year four or five. Developing the fields would cost
“
$4.8m, a cost council would share 50:50 with users or a key stakeholder. Sport Canterbury’s Jan Cochrane said the sportsfield development was important not only for sports groups that would use it, but also for the social opportunities provided by people converging on the same space. It could also include a walking track. She said developing breakout rooms for team briefings or other meetings was also important for users of the centre. Cochrane said a small extra that would make life easier for some users was the installation of steps from the Oak Grove end down the hill to the centre’s car park. Many people took this shortcut, but there was a danger some would end up in a drain if they descended the hill in the wrong place. Mid Canterbury Hockey also asked if council would share the costs of its next turf replacement, total cost around $400,000, in the next 10 to 15 years.

Tully quizzed on Bentley murder Convicted double murderer Russell John Tully has been interviewed behind bars over the unsolved 1998 murder of Ashburton schoolgirl Kirsty Bentley. A senior detective quizzed the Ashburton Work and Income killer over one of New Zealand’s most notorious cold case murders at Auckland Prison last week, it is understood. Tully, now aged 52, flatted opposite the Bentley family’s South Street home in Ashburton for around three years in the early 1990s. He was not identified or spoken to during the massive original investigation. But Tully told police last week that he was married and living in Nelson, working full-time, when 15-year-old Bentley disappeared on December 31, 1998, while walking the family dog on the Ashburton riverbank.
The New Zealand Herald has reported that Tully left for Australia with his wife on February 12, 1999 – less than a month after the schoolgirl’s badly decomposed body was found in the Rakaia Gorge, more than 40km away from where she was last seen. During his police interview Tully, who was notoriously disruptive and uncooperative during his High Court murder trial, is believed to have given a detailed account of his old car, how he used to camp near Bentley’s abduction site, the reasons for his Australia move, and his knowledge of the Bentley family. Unless further information comes to light, or further probes into his story raise doubts, then Tully’s alibi looks likely to stack up and police are satisfied he was not involved in her abduction and murder. Detective Inspector Greg Mur-
Russell John Tully has been interviewed behind bars over the unsolved 1998 murder of Ashburton schoolgirl Kirsty Bentley.
ton of Canterbury CIB, who took charge of the cold case in 2014, refused to comment when approached. It’s believed that Tully, who is serving life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 27 years for the Winz slayings, was one of three suspects police have been looking at closely. It was revealed last year that Tully was a person of interest in the Bentley case. Several senior detectives have handled the inquiry over the years. But to this day, it remains an open homicide investigation. More than 300 persons of interest have been looked at, including Kirsty’s father Sid Bentley, who denied any involvement in her disappearance or murder until he died of cancer in 2015, aged 64. Murton confirmed last March that Tully, who escaped after the shootings along the same stretch of Ashburton riverbank where Bentley went missing, was being scrutinised. “There’s probably 20 or 30 reasons why someone could be of interest to us in relation to the case, either being there or previous history, or connections, and there are lots of people in that category,” Murton said at the time. “And until they are eliminated, and sometimes that’s impossible, then they remain a person of interest, without being a suspect, so to speak.” Tully was found guilty two years ago of storming the Ashburton Winz centre at 9.51am on September 1, 2014, and shooting dead receptionist Peggy Noble, 67, from point blank range and shooting case manager Susan Leigh Cleveland, 55, three times as she pleaded for her life. Justice Cameron Mander described the shootings as “coldblooded executions” by a “very dangerous person” capable of extremely violent actions. Tully has lodged appeals against his conviction and sentence. A Court of Appeal spokeswoman this week confirmed no hearing date has yet been set. Retired Detective Senior Sergeant Lance Corcoran, who led
Kirsty Bentley, 15, disappeared on December 31, 1998, while walking the family dog on the Ashburton riverbank. the original Ashburton CIB investigation, didn’t recall Tully being either a suspect or person of interest. “I was aware of Mr Tully before he did what he did. It’s possible that he came up after my time,” said Corcoran, who compulsorily retired at the age of 55 less than a year after Bentley’s death.

“We never had a list of suspects, as such. Where it’s a whodunnit investigation, they are all persons of interest to me. You try and eliminate them, although some remain on that list to this day.” The investigation will remain open “until it is completed, one way or another”, Murton says. -NZME

■ EPRO8 CHALLENGE
■ LONG-TERM PLAN
Pupils show off their engineering prowess
Rates rise trimmed to 4.7pc
By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Mid Canterbury Year 5 to 8 pupils are putting their science and engineering skills to the test in the annual EPro8 Challenge. The national competition came to Canterbury for the first time last year, and local schools jumped on board with enthusiasm. Event manager Kelvin Thiele said the uptake had been even bigger this year. Ashburton Borough School is hosting four of the events this week. There are 19 schools, from Mid and South Canterbury, participating, with 48 teams altogether. Two of the events are for Years 5 and 6, while the other two are for Years 7 and 8. Top teams will go onto a semifinal, and one of these is to be held in Ashburton. Thiele said this was thanks to sponsorship from EA Networks. “It is brilliant to see a business like this support their local community,” Thiele said. Among construction tasks students are choosing from this week are a solar-powered alarm clock, a storm-proof dog kennel, a magic show using magnets, and a fire engine. Teams are marked on the number of different stages they complete in each challenge. Materials include aluminium rods, joiners, motors, gears, wheels, electronic blocks, coils

and solar panels. Thiele and a friend established EPro8 as a fun introduction to science and engineering for students. Thiele said yesterday the chal-
lenges relied on team members calling upon their individual strengths. Many traditional tests in schools were designed to get either a right or wrong answer.
“Life isn’t really like that, that’s why we give a whole bunch of challenges. I don’t care if there’s something you don’t know, show me something you do know,” Thiele said.
Busy day for firefighters By Katie todd
Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz
Five call-outs in a day kept Ashburton’s volunteer firefighters busy on Tuesday – from an alarm activation to a trailer on fire, a car crash, a small rubbish fire and a hedge fire. The day began with an early
morning alarm activation in Dromore, with firefighters heading out at around 1.16am but returning shortly after. Firefighters then responded to reports of a trailer on fire near Fairton at 2.16pm, returning shortly after at 2.30pm. Shortly before 5.30pm emer-
gency services including Fire and Emergency attended a twocar collision on Archibald Street Tinwald. A St John Ambulance spokesperson said five patients were assessed, and three were taken to Ashburton Hospital ED with minor injuries.
At 6.44pm, fire volunteers again found themselves in Tinwald, working to contain a small rubbish fire and at 7.20pm, volunteers responded to a hedge on fire on Company Road. Rakaia firefighters also attended one alarm activation in Chertsey shortly before 5pm.
Ashburton District Councillors have managed to prune back a 5 per cent average rate rise to 4.7 per cent, thanks to a $500,000 Government handout for footpaths and cycleways. Councillors have spent the past three days hearing submissions on their spending plan for the next 10 years and are also pinning their hopes on more money than expected from the New Zealand Transport Agency for roading. While the NZTA contribution is not yet confirmed, it would allow the current road maintenance programme to continue, along with a continued focus on roads under heavy use. The state of the district’s roads was a common theme of complaint in submissions and council will continue to apply pressure on its contractors to deal with things like potholes in expected timeframes. Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel thanked councillors for their efforts over the week and said the $500,000 windfall was the result of a change to Government’s policy statement on roading to include cycleways and footpaths. Councillors made a range of decisions that affected the rate rise for next year, including setting aside $50,000 for a new museum staff member and an extra $28,000 for the art gallery. They also agreed on $24,000 to help Safer Ashburton become nationally accredited and raised the amount of money available for event funding from $30,000 to $50,000. They also agreed to up council’s contribution to the upkeep of the Lake Hood aquatic park, adding another $75,000 to the $200,000 they already had pegged as an annual contribution. This should result in a reduction in park levies for people who live there. The new budget will be adopted on June 28.

ECan wants to ensure a minimum flow in the river of six cumecs at the Ashburton bridge by 2025.
■ ASHBURTON RIVER
ECan to review water consents BY LINDA CLARKE
LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Environment Canterbury has budgeted to review 120 consents to take water from the Ashburton River, some with no limits. The river is over-allocated for irrigation abstraction and ECan is hoping consent holders will agree to voluntarily alter their consents to ensure a minimum flow in the river of six cumecs at the Ashburton bridge by 2025. A river management plan flags a new minimum flow of 10 cumecs by 2035. Increased flows in the river improve water quality and fish life; people are currently encouraged not to swim there because of high E.coli counts. ECan commissioner David Caygill told Ashburton District councillors on Tuesday that it was not fair some consents holders could carry on abstracting when the minimum flow triggered restrictions on other consents to protect the health of the river.
Conditions linked to the minimum flow can only be imposed on new consents or when old consents come up for renewal. “We are proposing and have made provision in the budget to enable experts to start this year; we will probably call a series of meetings and talk to consent holders and explain the decision and share evidence about how they might be affected and see where we can get to. The review process could not change an activity to the point a consent holder would be put out of business, he said. “This could prove a very expensive and time-consuming experience unless we can take the community with us.” A review of consents in the Selwyn area eight years ago was controversial and time-consuming, Caygill said. By contrast, a review of consents in the Waitaki area recently had been led voluntarily by Meridian and accomplished in a few months.

OUR VIEW
Will Kirsty’s murder ever be solved? T
his year will mark 20 years since the unsolved murder of Ashburton schoolgirl, Kirsty Bentley but we seem no closer to solving what happened to the local teenager than what we were right back at the very beginning. When news initially broke that there was interest in the movements of convicted double murderer, Russell John Tully last year in regard to the cold case, there was some renewed hope that a resolution might have been forthcoming finally, but it was to no avail. Then yesterday when the headline flashed up on screens around the country that Tully had been quizzed by police in Auckland
Prison about the murder and his whereabouts at the time of Kirsty’s disappearance, again there was hope – but six paragraphs later that hope was again dashed with the words that police were satisfied with the alibi offered by Tully for the timeframe in which events are believed to have occurred. How is it that we can be no closer, this long on?
It’s unimaginable what the torment must be like for the family and friends of Kirsty as they go about their day-to-day lives wondering what happened to the bubbly young woman who was ripped from them in an instant. Murders make big news stories in this country. Bigger than they perhaps do in many others. But unsolved murders in this day and age are a rarity and that’s why the country seems to hang on every mention of the case and get all built up about it again. The Bentley case will remain one of New Zealand’s most high profile cold-killing cases until it is solved. There’s been moments in the past 20 years where there has
been the flicker of light. Television shows have delved deeper than anyone else, psychics have offered their thoughts and that case has been open and closed more often than anyone would care to remember. Police very much downplayed their questioning last week of Tully and stated that they had a list of persons who were of interest and they were methodically making their way through that list in the hope of turning up some new information and Tully was just another name on that list. Police were keen to emphasise too that just because someone was a person of interest, it didn’t mean they were a suspect in any investigations.
Basically, that means anyone who was in the area on that fateful day – was, or is, a person of interest. The obvious hype around Tully’s involvement in the investigation is understandable considering what he went on to do in the very same town many years later, but unfortunately for those it’s a case of another dead end. So, again it’s a case of the investigation still being open and police being keen to hear from anyone who might have some new information. It’s become a phrase uttered most years, for the past two decades. But at what point does the line officially get drawn in the sand?
Ten years ago: Space shuttle Discovery and a crew of seven blasted into orbit, carrying a giant Japanese lab addition to the international space station. Five years ago: Four firefighters searching for people in a blazing Houston motel and restaurant were killed when part of the structure collapsed. Actress Jean Stapleton, who played Archie Bunker’s far better half, the sweetly naive Edith, in TV’s 1970s comedy All in the Family, died in New York at age 90. One year ago: President Donald
Trump welcomed Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc to the White House for talks focusing on the American trade deficit. A suicide attacker struck the heart of the Afghan capital Kabul with a massive truck bomb that killed more than 150 people. Today’s birthdays: Actordirector Clint Eastwood is 88.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, May 31, the 151st day of 2018. There are 214 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On May 31, 1921, a race riot erupted in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as white mobs began looting and levelling the affluent black district of Greenwood over reports a black man had assaulted a white woman in an elevator; hundreds are believed to have died. On this date: In 1578, the Christian catacombs of ancient Rome were accidentally discovered by workers digging in a vineyard along the Via Salaria. In 1669, English diarist Samuel Pepys wrote the final entry of his journal, blaming his failing eyesight for his inability to continue. In 1790, President George Washington signed into law the first US copyright act. In 1889, some 2200 people in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, perished when the South Fork Dam collapsed, sending 20 million tons of water rushing through the town. In 1916, during World War One, British and German fleets fought the naval Battle of Jutland off Denmark; there was no clearcut victor, although the British suffered heavier losses. In 1949, former State Department official and accused spy Alger Hiss went on trial in New York, charged with perjury (the jury deadlocked, but Hiss was convicted in a second trial). In 1962, former Nazi official Adolf Eichmann was hanged in Israel a few minutes before midnight for his role in the Holocaust. In 1977, the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline, three years in the making despite objections from environmentalists and Alaska Natives, was completed. In 2005, breaking a silence of 30 years, former FBI official W. Mark Felt stepped forward as Deep Throat, the secret Washington Post source during the Watergate scandal.

A distressing time for our dairy farmers M
y heart goes out to our local farming community. No Kiwi wants to be told an animal we have raised, needs to be put down. Animals are a part of our whanau, our lives – especially in dairy farming, an industry which underscores our regional and national economy. When I think of the mass culling that is about to occur through our last shot at eradicating cattle disease mycoplasma bovis, my heart breaks. The mental health of our affected farmers and how we can support their emotional wellbeing, is at the forefront of this Government’s plan and an issue I will be robustly championing. Alongside DairyNZ, Federated Farmers and a growing number of dairy industry voices, I fully support Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor on this issue. In partnership with New Zea-
Jo Luxton
LABOUR LIST MP
land’s farming industry, we are making the tough calls now to save thousands of as yet unaffected Kiwi families from having to deal with the spread of this disease. $886 million will be spent on the phased eradication of M. bovis and compensation for affected farmers. These families will know the Government has their back. The Ministry for Primary Industries has developed a new streamlined approach which will enable a substantial compensation payment within a matter of days. Jim van der Poel, the chairman
of Dairy New Zealand brilliantly stated this week, “Our decision to continue to eradicate is about ensuring that the 99 per cent of farms that don’t have it, don’t get it.” Collectively we are moving to save millions of cattle and calves from suffering illnesses caused by this bacterium – illnesses including pneumonia and arthritis. While we are taking action to protect New Zealand’s economic base, I’d like to address key questions I am receiving from our community. Firstly, there is absolutely no food safety concern with this disease. M. bovis is found worldwide and does not spread to humans. Secondly, united with industry, we have chosen eradication over ‘living with the disease’ because Aotearoa’s isolation means there is a clear shot at wiping out our one identified strain of the disease.
A long term response would cost $1.3 billion and see ongoing needless suffering. I don’t want to get to 2025, with farms in crisis, livelihoods destroyed and animal welfare in chaos, and think ‘why did we let this happen?’ – and neither do you. We owe it to Kiwi farmers, our economy and their animals to take this opportunity before M. bovis becomes widespread. This Government and the dairy industry are acting now to remove uncertainty and anxiety about when this disease might show up on our farms, giving unaffected families peace of mind and certainty for the future.

alking to a couple of the people involved in organising last night’s public meeting in Ashburton that focused on mycoplasma bovis, I was pleased to hear that the gathering would have a “where to from here” approach, rather than over-analysing why the decision to continue with the eradication strategy was made. Whether we like it or not, we might as well accept that particular course of action has been decided on, so it’s better, for now at least, to look ahead and try to find the best way forward. I know that’s easy for me to say, given I’m not living with the disease hanging over my head every second of the day (and I apologise to those whose livelihoods and life’s work are threatened by being caught up in what can only be a living nightmare if I make this sound easy – it’s obviously not) but it’s important to now try and put frustrations on hold and instead focus cool heads on constructive discussion and sharing information for the good of everyone in Mid Canterbury, in particular farmers, but also the wider community, as this has the potential to affect us all in one way or another. Recriminations can come later. A crucial part of the “looking ahead” approach is to make sure everyone is as well informed as possible, something that has been sadly lacking up until now. Information sharing is critical, not only so farmers can see why their properties

have been put under movement restrictions, but also to see how they can ensure the future of their families and businesses in the weeks, months and years ahead. Unfortunately, many farmers under those restrictions have been operating in an information vacuum and officials at the Ministry for Primary Industries have to take at least some responsibility for that. I know it’s been difficult for them trying to manage the outbreak, especially given that no other country in the world has tried to pursue eradication, but while they’ve been coming up with their playbook to achieve that, to a large extent farmers have been left out of the loop. That’s unacceptable and it has to change. If we are going to beat this disease and, let’s be honest, that’s a mighty big if, we have to work together and everyone has to be included. Failure to do so will mean the eradication strategy is doomed. Colin Williscroft is the Ashburton Guardian’s rural reporter

Can insurers cover another big shock? By TAmSyn PArker The Reserve Bank is talking to insurers about whether they have enough capital to withstand another shock like a major earthquake. The move was revealed by the central bank as part of its sixmonthly report on financial stability. The Reserve Bank said New Zealand’s insurance sector was sound, profitable and adequately capitalised, but said some have relatively small capital buffers to meet future disasters. It didn’t name the insurers. This year the bank applied to the court to place CBL Insurance, a subsidiary of NZX-listed CBL Corporation, into interim liquidation after concerns about the company transferring $50m
offshore. The regulator had been talking to the company for more than a year before that. A full hearing for putting the company into liquidation is set down for next week. The central bank said there were also challenges to efficiency in the insurance sector and market share remained concentrated. “Life insurance commissions are particularly high, which inevitably flows through into higher premiums.” An industry report found life insurers can pay up to 230 per cent of a first year’s premium to an adviser who sells their policies. However, the regulator said it believed technology developments would be a key driver of competition in the future. – NZME

New Zealand pensioners were swindled out of $1 million by cyber scams in the first three months of the year, with phishing attacks the most favoured con, the government’s Computer Emergency Response Team (Cert NZ) says. The one-stop shop responsible for tracking, monitoring and advising on cybersecurity incidents received 506 reports in the March quarter. Those attacks caused $2.9 million of direct financial losses, three-quarters of which were reported by individuals. The remaining quarter of losses came from organisation reports. Older New Zealanders were the biggest dupes, with 44 incidents reported by people over 65, who accounted for $1 million of direct financial losses, while a smaller group of people between 55 and 64 reported $724,000 of losses. – NZME

By Aimee ShAw The Commerce Commission has issued a warning to tech giant Apple after it “likely” misled customers over their replacement rights. The commission is concerned Apple Sales New Zealand misled consumers, under the Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act, about their rights around replacement products. It believes Apple breached consumer law by telling consumers that its products are covered by a guarantee for two years, and for referring them to the manufacturer of non-Apple branded products, excluding Apple’s liability for certain products. In the eight-page warning letter, the Commission said: “We consider that Apple is likely to be misleading consumers by trying to exclude its liability for non-Apple branded products. “If this behaviour is continuing, we recommend you take immediate action to address our concerns and seek legal advice about complying with the Fair Trading Act.” The regulator began investigating complaints from consumers in April 2016 who had sought remedies for faulty Apple products, information on Apple’s website, sales and refund terms and conditions for online Apple Store purchases, and documents provided with replacement products. Commissioner Anna Rawlings said Apple had told some customers that their products were covered by consumer law for two years but under the Consumer Guarantees Act guarantees do not expire after a legally prescribed period of time. “What is reasonable depends on the nature of the goods, any statements made about the goods
The Fifth Avenue Apple Store is a landmark in New York. and how the consumer, in fact, uses the goods,” Rawlings said. “Although businesses may form a view about how long a product should generally last, they must assess each reported fault on its own merits. They should not base decisions solely on how long a consumer has owned a product. The reasonable lifespan of a product will depend very much on what the product is.” The commission’s investigation found Apple was likely to have misled consumers by trying to exclude its liability for non-Apple branded products, “when Apple is responsible, as a retailer, for compliance with the consumer guarantees applying to all products it sells, even if it is not the manufacturer”. It also looked into a complaint from a customer after three iPhone 6 Plus devices failed in different ways and was told by an Apple representative that Apple had a policy of providing four replacements before considering an alternative remedy when the CGA contains no requirement on
a set number of faults. The commission also found Apple provided conflicting information about the availability of spare parts and repairs and in making misleading statements about replacement products. “It is natural that many retailers may wish to liaise with manufacturers to assess and remedy product defects but they must not point blank refuse to address consumer complaints and refer consumers exclusively to manufacturers for attention,” Rawlings said. The commission said Apple had co-operated during its investigation. “Apple voluntarily made changes to respond to our concerns, including making clear to its staff that consumer law rights are not time-bound,” the regulator said. “We expect Apple to consider the other issues identified in our warning and amend its practices accordingly.” Apple had no comment to make when approached by the Herald. – NZME

Hinds Women’s Institute Twelve members met at the home of Rona McConnell in Ashburton for the May meeting. Betty Wilson President led in the singing of the Ode and reciting of the Aspirations. Business included a report on the Officers Lunch held on May 4 at the Stables when the National Conference and AGM in Lower Hutt was discussed along with remits and also discussion on the Cup Day and Quizco to be held at the Senior Centre on July 6. It is intended to help with flowers for Ward Six at Ashburton Hospital and also to have available cars and runners for Meals on Wheels in August. The roll call for the day was: “wear a flower in honour of Mother” to commemorate Mother’s Day. Members then shared memories of their mothers and family life. Families were larger in those days, with no TV more games such as table tennis were played at home, and social interaction with extended family seemed to be the norm. Life was generally harder, money wasn’t plentiful and mothers often had to work much harder at home, illness meant too that children often took over the reins in the kitchen or taking care of younger siblings. Many things were taught: how to make cheese straws, how to knit, how to take care of animals such as the milking cows and horses; how to make music, how to do Square Dancing, so many things which brought happiness to family life. Some items belonging to mothers were also shown, such as engagement rings, ornaments and photographs. Hostesses Rona, Jo Wilson and Jenny Sinclair served a lovely afternoon tea and we sat around Rona’s big table and talked some more of those far-off days. Birthday honours were accorded to Val Goodridge and Jenny Sinclair.

U3A Club News A large turnout of members and guests filled St. David’s Church for the May U3A presentation by Dr. Jarrod Gilbert, Doctor of Sociology at The University of Canterbury and author of the book ‘Patch – A History of Gangs in New Zealand’. This eagerly awaited talk did not disappoint as Dr. Gilbert explained how his interest in the subject began as an intellectual curiosity following a dearth of research on gangs in this country. He eventually went on to do a PHD in the subject. He entered the library of stress over six years of hanging out with gangs in the field, getting beaten up on more than one occasion. Finding himself in a very different culture of language and alcohol consumption to excess, in order to do his research it was essential to protect his sources while his moral code was stretched beyond belief. Getting in and getting out was difficult. Violent crime became a social problem from the 1960s to the mid 90s after the Hells Angels set up in Auckland, changing the structure of gangs into a hierachy. Back Patches became a source of pride as a trophy, street gangs began to flourish and gangs battled one another. In Christchurch the Mongrel Mob took on the Black Power and battled in public during the Arts Festival before it was realised that the action was not actually part of the Festival. The public became very alarmed following a big gang fight in Moerewa and Police began shadowing the gangs. From sexual violence and mindless thuggery, profit driven organised crime happened very quickly in 1996 and continues to this day. In reality the gangs were incredibly poor with little evidence of the supposed wealth from the alleged drug involvement. The 1991 prison census data showed 2.2% of gang members incarcerated for drug offending but 8.5% of non gang members. By 2003 8.5% of gang members and 8.9% of non gang members were making the stats. The first decade of the 2000s saw more than 90% of drug apprehensions were non gang members. However statics were problematical as gang members do not as a rule talk to the media and the public perception of gangs is dependent on the information fed out. Inflating the percentage figures is both dangerous and misleading. So who does dominate the drug dealing in New Zealand? Sole traders – Asian organised crime has taken a fixed foothole in this country. The AGM was held prior to the speaker presentation and election of officers took place. Chairman Ann Wise, Treasurer Kay Baird, Secretary tba, Committee all nominees elected and Programme Convenor Jill Ross. A special thank you was given to Glenn Vallender for his valuable contribution to programming since the Hakatere/ Ashburton group was formed. Dr. Gilbert was thanked by Linda Baker. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 26 when the speaker will be Dr. Stephen Hoadley on the subject of Pacific Geopolitics. Doors open 9.30am.

Remits for the forthcoming Annual meeting in Lower Hutt were discussed, and entries for Cup Day organised. A donation was made to the Rakaia Fire Brigade for Sky-Tower Appeal, and a letter of thanks was received from Rakaia Plunket Society for children’s beanies knitted by members. Another Roll Call, What can we remember buying for one shilling (ten cents) was responded to including memories of icecream costing three pence, going to movies, one shilling was enough material for a skirt, lots of sweets, and a pie! We had the pleasure of welcoming seven ladies from the West Coast, the Kokatahi/ Kowhiterangi Women’s Institute. We all had an enjoyable time over lunch.

Run and Walk Ashburton afternoon Social Meet held a 3km and 5km race at the Ashburton Domain on Saturday 26 May. 14 Runners and six walkers lined up at the start line. A great turn out of young people was great to see. The sun was out, but the accompanying wind was chilly. A great afternoon was had by all who attended. Two Early Bird runners also headed out at 7.30am.
Tinwald Garden Club 24 May, 2018 The Speaker for this meeting was Jeanette Cuthbertson, a Club member, who spoke of her Dahlia Nursery in which she grows a thousand dahlia plants, and showed amazing photos of them. Dahlias originated in Mexico, tubers are occasionally cooked or dried to use as kindling. They should be planted at Labour Weekend 15cm deep, eye on top, on angle so they will drain, in soil with Ph level of 6.5 7. Best to plant small tubers, cut large ones down. Spray with Ripcord to prevent earwigs and ground bugs morning or evening. At 15 cm height, take out centres to promote more stalks. Apply Nitro Phoska Select in December. Spray only when necessary, then 14 days later.. Alternate spray types to prevent development of immunity. Mid-February – stop spraying. Disbud in January, add Potash to strengthen stalks from beginning January, end March take off seed heads. Start lifting after first frost. Clean, put in mixture Janola and water to kill bugs, store in slightly damp sawdust. End July check, start watering for regrowth. Put one of each variety in heat bed to grow new stock as “green plants”, allow only 2-3 flowers to feed tubers. Jeanette explained how to avoid “blown” dahlias for showing - the centre knob of petals should not be open. This was most informative and obviously entails much hard work. Jeanette was thanked and presented with a fruit tray. Competitions May 24, 2018 Cut Flowers Vase Mixed flowers: K. Ross, V. Johnson 3 Pansies on Saucer: V. Johnson, A. Scammell 1 Stem Geranium: A.

In brief
■ HARNESS JEWELS
Dreams come at a cost By Michael Guerin Sometimes your dreams come at a cost – trainer Nigel McGrath will discover that exact price at the Jewels on Saturday. It has been 54 days days since McGrath won the race he has coveted his whole life, the New Zealand Derby at Addington with Sheriff. In one of the great modern day Derbys, Sheriff nosed out Pat’s Delight and Sicario in national record time, with the trio set to clash again in the last race on Jewels day. The Derby hurt, with the 3:05.4 time for the 2600m mobile akin to what the older horses do to themselves in a New Zealand Cup. Sheriff’s recovery has been slow, giving McGrath one of the biggest challenges of his career. “To be honest straight after the Derby I would have been happy for his season to be over,” says the Canterbury trainer. “It had already been a long season and it was an incredible
M9
Derby run and he was tired. “So I eased right up on him and while I have kept him fit and happy, I haven’t asked him for much since.” That was in evidence when Sheriff raced below his best at Addington last start and maybe again when he was a solid but hardly sensational second at the Cambridge workouts last Saturday. “I was initially disappointed but Todd Mitchell drove him and rang me straight away to say it was a good run and I trust his opinion. “And he is a Bettor’s Delight, we know they can be different horses on raceday. “So I think he will improve and come out on Saturday and be the good horse he is. But whether that is good enough to win, we will find out.” While the front line for the mobile mile looks one of the fastest of the day, McGrath says he may add pull-down blinds to Sheriff’s gear to get him keen enough to
Nigel McGrath work to the lead and then give driver Blair Orange a turbo button to hit at the top of the straight. But with Pat’s Delight drawn to be close by and Sicario having thrilled his connections with his work this week, anything below the Derby-winning version of Sheriff is going to have a huge fight on his hooves.
McGrath actually takes one of the three previous Jewels winners racing to Saturday’s meeting, with Dizzy Miss Lizzy brilliant at this meeting last season but missing in action since. She has had nine starts since her Jewels stunner, all this season for a fresh up win and a second in the Sires’ Stakes Final, the other seven being unplaced and largely disappointing performances. “She has been terrible for much of the season,” is McGrath’s blunt assessment. “But she has had all sorts of problems. “She has been in season a lot and I think she is over that and she has actually worked the best she has in a long time this week. “I think she might be back to something like her best.” From barrier two in the threeyear-old Diamond, Dizzy Miss Lizzy has the option to try and lead and could even hand up to hot favourite Shez All Rock, which would make her a value place hope. - HRNZ
Kiwi mares sought after Well-performed New Zealand mares have been in demand on the Gold Coast this week. A pair of Go Racing broodmare prospects sold particularly well with Darci Brahma’s multiple stakes-winning daughter No More Tears realising $550,000 to the bid of agent Paul Moroney on behalf of Go Bloodstock. “To be able to sell her for this sort of money puts the icing on the cake for her syndicate owners,” Go Racing’s Albert Bosma said. - NZME
No Need returns Wet track specialist No Need will kick off a new campaign at the Auckland meeting at Te Rapa on Sunday. “He won very well at the trials and he should go well freshup over 1200m,” Somervell said. “He’ll run out of his grade, but he will get in with a light weight.” All five of No Need’s career successes have come on heavy tracks. - NZME
Tyro trainer strikes Claire Simpson hasn’t taken long to open her training account. The Byerley Park-based horsewoman’s first representative Velveteen finished second at Matamata earlier this month and they returned there yesterday to win the NZ Bloodstock Insurance Series Race (1600m). - NZME

■ SUNSHINE COAST
Tiley hoping for a wet track Nigel Tiley is hoping the Sunshine Coast doesn’t live up to its name this weekend. The Pukekohe Park trainer will produce Megablast there for the second appearance of his Queensland campaign on Saturday when he fronts up in the Gr.2 P. J. O’Shea Stakes (2200m). “He probably needs give in the ground from where he has got to in the handicap,” Tiley said.

Megablast has come through his last race in tip-top order and he will be ridden by Damian Browne. “It’s definitely a step up in grade, but it’s our best shot and the horse looks great,” Tiley said. “He’s right where I want him.” Meanwhile, stablemate The Ice Knight finished runner-up over 1200m at the Sunshine Coast last Sunday. “I’ll probably look at a 1400m
three-year-old race for him on the Gold Coast on June 9,” Tiley said. “If he is competitive I’ll set him for the Sunshine Coast Guineas – the Queensland Guineas is probably going to be a bit too rich for him.” The Ice Knight has won twice from 11 starts and went to Australia off the back of a creditable run for sixth in the Gr.3 Cambridge Breeders’ Stakes (1200m). - NZME

In brief Cycling coach quits Cycling New Zealand’s head sprint coach Anthony Peden has announced he’s stepping away from the role. Peden, head sprint coach since September 2013, guided the men’s team sprint trio to huge success with nine world medals including three titles, an Olympic silver medal at Rio and 14 Commonwealth Games medals. However Peden said his all-encompassing approach is not aligned to that of Cycling NZ. He felt that after the recent Commonwealth success and with the Tokyo Olympic qualifying period nearing it was the appropriate time to step away. - NZME

Pressure on for Mt Somers By Erin TaskEr
Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz
They made a winning debut to the Mid Canterbury Netball ACL premier one competition last week, now the question is can Mt Somers back it up? Mt Somers took on College A in their first premier one match last week after earning themselves promotion to the top tier courtesy of finishing round one of the premier two competition unbeaten. Their first premier one win didn’t come easy though, with College A producing one of their better performances of the season and pushing Mt Somers right to the final whistle. Eventually Mt Somers took the win by just one goal. Now, they’re preparing to take
Mark Rudan is the new head coach of Wellington Phoenix Football Club. The 42-year-old Australian was unveiled in the capital yesterday and will lead the side into their 2018/19 A-League campaign. Rudan has previously worked as an assistant coach with the Australian under-20 side and guided the Sydney United 58 club to two NSW National Premier League titles. He ended his 17-year professional playing career at Adelaide United in 2009/10 and moved into coaching. - NZME
on United A in their next game, and it’s a game both sides will be eager to claim. For Mt Somers it’s about showing they’ll be a force to be reckoned with. They’re a new team this season – the club previously only having had a social team – and they’ve already ticked off their goal of making the top grade. Now they’re eying up making the finals, which would be a remarkable effort for a new team. They’re a new team, but most of the faces in the team aren’t new. Most of them have played premier netball under a different banner before, and for many of them it’s a case of returning to the top local level after a break. United A on the other hand is a
side with a proud premier netball history. They’ve won the title numerous times in years gone by, although they’ve finished down the pack in recent years and would love to get back up to the top. United A head into tonight’s game with two losses fresh in their minds, against Hampstead A last week, and a last minute one-goal loss to College A the week before. Meanwhile Celtic A continues to look like the team to beat this season. No team has been able to topple them so far, and tonight College A will become the latest team to try. College A will also be looking to bounce back from a couple of losses. Following their loss
to Mt Somers last week, College A played host to Kaiapoi High School in the latest round of Canterbury secondary school netball’s SuperNet competition on Monday night and came away with a loss. In tonight’s other premier one match-up Methven A will take on a Hampstead A side brimming with confidence after the good win over United A last week. In premier two, Southern A – the side relegated from premier one – will take on Celtic C a week after losing their first premier two game. Celtic B now look like the team to beat in premier two and tonight they’ll face Ashburton College B, while Rakaia A will take on Methven B in the night’s other game.
Brad Shields will be feeling right at home when he joins the England tour of South Africa. England coach Eddie Jones is becoming the plunderer downunder after adding three more New Zealandlinked players to his 34-man squad for the tour. Auckland-born league recruit Ben Te’o is one of three injured players who have been replaced in an England squad on a losing run. In come former Blues back Piers Francis, Hurricane Jason Woodward, and Fijian forward Nathan Hughes who cut his teeth with Auckland in the NPC. - NZME
Nonu on the move All Blacks great Ma’a Nonu has called time on his stint with Toulon. Nonu joined the Top 14 side following the 2015 Rugby World Cup where he won his second World Cup title. The centre has played 77 games for Toulon but has opted not to extend his contract due to “family reasons”. “I have decided to take a step back from rugby to spend time with my family and assess my options,” he said. - NZME

Tough round for College ballers By Erin TaskEr
Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz
Ashburton College’s two senior basketball sides didn’t have a good night in their respective Thomson Trophy and Whelan Trophy competitions on Tuesday. Both the girls and boys headed to Christchurch, with the Ashburton College girls going down to Middleton Grange 85-49 in the Whelan Trophy, and the boys downed by Papanui High School 80-68 in the Thomson Trophy. The College boys fielded just seven players due to three starters missing through illness and injury, coach Brian Kerr said. Playing in front of a parochial
home crowd both sides started aggressively with their zone defences applying a lot of pressure on the ball carriers, but College absorbed the pressure well and took an early lead. There was little between the teams for the first three quarters, but College accumulated fouls at a fast rate which was to inevitably going to cost them. Going into the final quarter Ashburton College were trailing 48–45 and had only one player fouled out. With six-and-a-half minutes left College were down to four players having lost a further two players fouling out. Of the remaining four players two were also on four fouls. “To their immense credit, with a

“It was a hell of a game and I’m particularly proud of the lads on how they applied themselves. Certainly, some things to work and improve on but lots of positives as well.” Meanwhile, Ashburton College girls’ coach Mark Douglas said his girls just weren’t physical enough against Middleton Grange. “We got a big old reality check. We were there for maybe the last 10 minutes but we weren’t there for the first three quarters,” Douglas said. But his side would learn from it, and be better for it. Round five sees both sides at home at the Oxford Street stadium, with the girls hosting Kaiapoi High School and the boys hosting Cathedral.
fourth quarter blowout on the cards, they battled on and that 12-point losing margin was testament to that effort,” Kerr said. With numbers low all players had to put their best effort out there, and Marc Juntilla was his usual busy self, scoring 18 points and combining well with Sam Pearce in creating chaos for the Papanui guards. Year 9 student Riley Sa also played his best game for the team scoring 11 points and showing his all-round ability with some strong defensive rebounds and a couple of blocks. Harry Jackson, a late call in to the team, also had a great game netting 17 points and being influential on the boards, Kerr said.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Success is a pretty simple formula for you today. You’ll trade your solution to a person who can use it for their problem. The price will be easy to agree upon. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Today, you’re trying to hit that high note. Once you find it, move on. When you start to feel great about the situation, ask no further questions. Sail on with that tone, taking action in a positive direction. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): When attraction takes the form of infatuation, the excitement floats up like a helium balloon, distancing itself from the reality of the ground. It’s important to know that what goes up always comes down. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Your inventive mind is sparkling with potential today, so put it to good use. Think about the problems that plague people. You could be the one to create products and services people dearly want. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): When you know you’re going to be in something for a long, long time, you’d better make sure it’s comfortable. This applies to homes, clothes and relationships. Time can turn the slightest rub into a torture. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Every single person who walks the planet is flawed. Surround yourself with people whose flaws you can tolerate, because to spend your minutes raging against another person’s flaws is the definition of futility. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Spread your attention around today, otherwise things get too intense. If you place too much emotion on one person or subject, other things will fall out of balance. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Most people don’t like going places where they feel they must always be “on.” Comfortable is good. You’ll rack up the nice interactions today and this goes a great way toward creating a sense of stability. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The tendency is to fantasise about a future in which things will be and feel different, more fun, more exciting... but actually how you feel today is a gauge of how you might feel tomorrow. So feel great today! CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): There’s nothing to be done about the parts you can’t control. It will go wrong; it will go right. The best you can do is to extract an interpretation that helps you feel joyful. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’ve so much to teach others yet you don’t realise it because it’s difficult to see what you already know. Being around people who are different will give you a more accurate view of what you have to offer. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Another one of those counterintuitive social rules will apply to today’s interactions: The more you try and impress, the less impressed they are. The answer isn’t to be careless; it’s to be carefree.

Running over three mountains and making up around 3500 metres of elevation gain in the fastest time possible would sound a daunting task to many of us. But not to Nicole Jackson. A member of Run and Walk Ashburton, the 40-year-old faced just that when she took on the Mt Oxford Odyssey endurance race earlier this month. It was the equivalent of Mt Cook, but in three ascents and descents over 42km, and Jackson not only finished it, she also exceeded her own expectations. She was the first female to cross the finish line in a time that was more than an hour faster than what she’d been expecting. Jackson finished the event’s marathon –
42km up and down hills – in 7 hours and 12 minutes. “Which is my longest time on my feet, ever,” Jackson said. Jackson headed to the event hoping to finish in less than nine hours. “I greatly underestimated. I thought I would take more like nine hours, one of the reasons being I did have a bit of an over training injury about three weeks out, so I didn’t know how that would work,” Jackson said. But with a bit of physio, it was fine. “I had a race plan and pretty much everything went to plan, and my mind and my body felt really good,” she said. Jackson finished well ahead of second placed woman Jean Jack (7.29 hours), and third placed Hannah Presswood (7.59
hours), and she said the whole experience was one to remember, but also one that was hard to describe. “You start in the dark – I had never started in the dark before – with a head lamp on and you get to see the lights of Christchurch and the sun coming up, so that in itself was an amazing experience,” A mum of two kids aged five and six, Jackson only really got back into running five years ago. Mt Oxford wasn’t Jackson’s first race, but it was the toughest she’d signed on for and it meant a lot of training. For the past six months she’d been training as much as she could, from running on the treadmill at the gym with a 5kg weight in a bag on her back, to running the Ashburton River track while her kids biked

alongside – a lot of work went into preparing for the event and it was well worth it. It’s something she’d do all over again too, but probably for a different event, and not any time soon. A much-needed break was on the cards for now. Jackson said she wasn’t an elite runner, she was a recreational runner. She was a member of Run and Walk Ashburton, and it was a club she loved. Jackson said it was a club that catered to anyone – from people wanting to take on challenges like Mt Oxford, to people who had a goal of running a half marathon, or those who just wanted to run for fitness. Running was the same, whether you were aiming to run 5km, 42km or even longer. “It’s just one step at a time.”
