Snow bunnies flock to Moon Ski

THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY

Flocks of skiers and snowboarders making their way up the Mt Hutt access road to hit the slopes might not sound all that newsworthy, but when more than 400 people ventured on the journey on Friday night it was ground-breaking.

For the past few seasons, Mt Hutt has toyed with the idea of opening up their slopes for an evening, but weather and snow conditions meant that Moon Ski, as they dubbed it, was unable to proceed, but on Friday night they were able to launch for the first time.

A festival-type event, with live music, entertainment, features and displays, the first ever Moon Ski went off without

a hitch and those who made the trek up the mountain were treated to near-perfect conditions with the stunning backdrop of the Canterbury Plains lit up by the lights of the towns and houses below adding an extra advantage.

“It was a terrific night of entertainment that really exceeded our expectations,” ski area manager, James McKenzie said.

“After all we have been through lately, we really wanted to celebrate the start of the school holidays and our great snow base with a super fun night.

“By the sounds of laughter and whooping ringing out around the main basin, I think we can safely say our inaugural Moon Ski was a real hit.”

Those who purchased tickets were able to enjoy a barbecue-style meal before a massive fireworks display kicked off the evening. They were then able to enjoy access to the summit six chair lift between 9 and 11pm with well groomed trails and cold, dry snow conditions.

“Despite the scattered high cloud that shrouded the moon at times, there was more than enough light to ski and ride safely down the slopes.”

The arrival of the school holidays resulted in an increased patronage up the mountain over the weekend and with the promise of more likely snow during the week and an existing base of between 40 and 120cm there are high hopes for a bumper few weeks.

Jumping for the love of animals

By Heather Mackenzie

heather.m@theguardian.co.nz

Anna Tuffley is using her love of animals to push aside tandem skydiving nerves and raise funds for SPCA. When Anna saw the SPCA fundraising initiative Jump to the Rescue 2020 online she knew it was for her.

“I love animals and I wanted to push myself outside my comfort zone, so this is the perfect combination for me.”

In order to qualify for the free skydive Tuffley has to raise $775, or failing that $250 raised will get her a free t-shirt and has until the end of the month to raise it.

While her goal is to reach the jump target, she said she will be happy with whatever amount is raised.

“All the donations go directly to SPCA New Zealand, so even if I don’t get to skydive, I know I have raised

money to help New Zealand’s animals.”

Tuffley is certainly the confirmed animal lover in her household. Mum Sharon said her daughter would fill their backyard with all manner of rescued animals, if she could.

“Anna is such a caring and kind girl, she wants to save all of the world’s animals.”

Given the size of their suburban backyard, a rescue zoo was out of the question, so a compromise of four guinea pigs and three rescue cats was reached.

Being able to do the tandem skydive out at the Ashburton Airport is another big plus for Tuffley.

“If I had to travel to Christchurch, I may not have signed up, but because it is here and all my family can come out to support me is awesome.”

First impressions of Anna are that she is like any other bright and personable eighteen-year-old, however, during her interview, Tuffley admitted she had suffered from depression and anxiety for the past couple of years.

During that time some days were so bad it was impossible for her to leave the house and the thought of being around too many people made her physically sick.

“I used to take medication, but that didn’t really agree with me, so now I am working through it myself.”

She said she wouldn’t have even thought of doing something like this a year ago but part of her recovery plan is to push herself to gain her self-confidence back.

“I am sure the skydive will unlock more of my inner self so I can dream without fear and love without limits.”

High court rejects firearm enthusiast’s allegations The High Court has rejected claims from a man who carried a semi-automatic firearm into public toilets in Ashburton that he had his rights infringed by police.

Timaru man Richard Lincoln took a case to the High Court in Christchurch over an incident on September 17, 2015, when he was driving from his home to Christchurch to deliver his Heckler & Koch semi-automatic to a gunsmith.

He stopped twice, once at a service station and once to visit the public toilets in Ashburton, on both occasions carrying the firearm with him.

Lincoln, a long-time gun enthusiast who advocated for the rights of gun owners, was entitled to have the rifle and had the required “E” endorsement on his firearms licence.

Lincoln was arrested for obstruction, handcuffed and taken to a cell at the Ashburton Police Station. On his return home two armed police officers were waiting and searched his home.

Charges against him were dismissed in 2017 by Judge Joanna Maze in the Ashburton District Court.

At a High Court hearing earlier this year, Lincoln, who represented himself, alleged he had been falsely imprisoned, assaulted, unlawfully arrested and been the victim of trespass by police staff and malicious prosecution.

Lincoln claimed he suffered post-traumatic stress disorder due to “evidence fabrication and tampering, arrogance, lies and deceit” by police who he claimed were either incompetent, dishonest, corrupt or vindictive.

In a decision released this week, Justice Peter Churchman said none of the claims had been proved.

The judge said he was satisfied Lincoln carried his gun openly “because of the particular views he held as to the rights of gun owners to openly carry their firearms, and the benefit of members of the public becoming used to seeing firearms being openly carried in public places”.

On the balance of probabilities, the judge found Lincoln had acted in a manner designed to attract attention in the hope it would provide an opportunity to engage in litigation with the police “where he could once again demonstrate what he believed to be the incompetence or unreasonableness of police and his own superiority as an advocate for the

rights of firearms owners”.

Lincoln’s evidence as to what happened before his arrest was at odds with the accounts of police officers at the scene, Justice Churchman said. Lincoln’s propensity to be aggressive, threatening and unbalanced against those whom he thought wrongly challenged him tended to support the account of the police officers that he was aggressive and behaving strangely.

He did not accept senior constable Jim Manning had rushed at Lincoln and struck him. None of the three police officers on the scene had heard him shout “that’s assault”. Justice Churchman also rejected Lincoln’s claim Manning had threatened him with his Glock pistol.

Lincoln’s allegations about police behaviour at the Ashburton

Police Station, including that they fabricated accounts of him behaving erratically or in an agitated way, were also found to be unsupported.

Police had good cause to suspect Lincoln had a firearm for an inappropriate purpose as he displayed it on his journey to Christchurch and had reasonable and probable grounds to suspect he had committed the offence of obstruction. It was not necessary that Lincoln had actually prevented the police from carrying out their duties. It was enough that he made those duties more difficult.

Justice Churchman accepted evidence Lincoln had attempted to “provoke the situation” and rejected Lincoln’s explanation of why the rifle was transported in the front of the vehicle with the magazine attached.

There were flash-looking wind chimes heading out the door of Mitre 10 Mega on Sunday as the kids’ DIY holiday programme got under way.

Set up on a table in the middle of the store, children were supplied with a terracotta pot, colourful beads, string and metal rings.

Programme organiser Meike Cassidy said it was great to see the parents and their children working together.

Cassidy gave the class a brief outline of how to put everything together and showed them a

“I purposely chose stuff that stretched their imaginations.

Just because it is school holidays it doesn’t mean the learning has to stop.

“They all have the same items, but they all end up looking quite different.”

Three-year-old Tanner Rouse went off piste with his design, opting to convert the beads and string into a necklace instead.

Cassidy is an inspired choice to lead the store’s holiday programme the Sunday Kids’ DIY workshops. Prior to her starting work with Mitre 10 12 years ago she worked in childcare.

Beaming children leaving with their precious creations were given extra tips from Cassidy about putting glue on the knots to make them more weather resistant and she suggested a coat of paint on the pot could be a fun thing to do at home.

Next Sunday the children will be making bunting with beads and other colourful items.

The following Sunday the kids will need their game faces on when constructing wooden pencil boxes.

Muller to meet the Mid Canterbury public Todd Muller will make his first visit to the Ashburton District as the National Party leader on Wednesday with a public meeting being held at the Hotel Ashburton.

Muller, the MP for Bay of Plenty rolled Simon Bridges as leader of the party in late May after an emergency caucus meeting was called following poor poll results.

Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon,

who has not confirmed who he voted for in the leadership spill, said the focus of the meeting will largely be on how to rebuild the economy in the wake of Covid-19.

“The Government are taking on significant debt, that will need to be paid back so it’s vital it’s spent well, creating jobs now, but also unlocking future economic growth,” he said.

“Canterbury is well-placed to benefit from that, so long as spending on things like infrastructure is spread throughout the country, not just the top half of the North Island.

“That’s been my focus since taking on a role in the transport portfolio, and I’ve kept in Todd’s ear about the need for investment here in Mid Canterbury.”

The meeting will be held in the

Valetta Room at the Hotel Ashburton at 2.30pm tomorrow.

Muller will start his day in Oamaru before stopping off in Timaru to attend a South Canterbury Chamber of Commerce a lunch.

He will then spend a number of hours in Ashburton for the meeting and some business visits, finishing the day with an evening event in Rolleston.

“There’s a lot to pack in and it’s never possible to schedule a time that suits everyone,” Falloon said.

In the lead-up to the 2017 General Election, then National party leader and Prime Minister Bill English visited Ashburton, visiting a number of local businesses and holding a large public meeting at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre.

Capturing the connection between people and emotions

By Heather Mackenzie

heather.m@theguardian.co.nz

New to exhibiting in the Short Street Gallery, guest artist Jo Loughnan said she was welcomed with open arms at the opening on Saturday night.

“Everybody was genuinely interested in my art and were really keen to share their experiences too,” she said.

Loughnan uses mixed mediums, including her favoured Indian ink in her artworks and describes herself as more of a fluid drawer rather than a painter.

When working on a new piece she does some plan drawings first, when she likes what she sees she moves on to the canvas.

Each artwork can take a while to complete. Using a kebab skewer dipped in ink, she draws the outlines first and then walks away for a few hours.

“I do a little bit and leave it for a bit and then come back and do a bit more and so on. If I don’t like it at all, I’ll blank it out and start all over again.”

For Loughnan this way of gently layering her art creates something that reveals more colour and detail the closer you look.

People are her favourite sub-

jects and admits that drawing figures is one of the hardest techniques to master, but one she finds fascinating.

“I love to capture the connection between people and their emotions, but in a light and fluid way.”

Knowing when a painting is finished is one of the hardest things.

Sometimes adding just the smallest of marks will make all the difference, she said.

“I lean it up against the wall in my lounge and keep walking past it. If I have gone by it for a few days and have not added anything to it, then I know it’s finished.”

Her guest artist spot may expire at the end of the month, but Loughnan will be back to Short Street on August 5 taking a drawing class.

“We will be working on life techniques. Being able to draw is vital to painting as well, if you improve your drawing skills your paintings will improve too.”

Loughnan, who has been teaching art to Christchurch children for 18 years often hears people say “I can’t draw”, but she usually replies with: “If I can teach a six-year-old to draw a puppy, I can teach you”.

Jo Loughnan is the guest artist exhibiting at the Short Street Gallery for the next month.

Crops 2020 receives the green light after Covid hiccup New Zealand’s largest one-day cropping event, Crops, has been given the green light to go ahead in Mid Canterbury in December.

Organiser Anna Heslop, from the Foundation for Arable Research (FAR) says planning for Crops 2020 began last year and received good industry support from day one.

“Then, in early March, we made the decision to put all planning and decision making around Crops on hold, while we waited to see how the Covid-19 situation

unfolded.

“In June, we went back and consulted our sponsors, and were delighted that they, like us, were keen to continue. So, despite the risk that if lockdown levels were reinstated we might have to cancel the event, we’re now back in full-on planning mode.”

Work on the research plots at FAR’s Chertsey arable site, which hosts the Crops event, had been going ahead as normal since lockdown lifted, but the industry demonstration sites have been

impacted by the delayed decision, Heslop said.

“Many of the industry demonstration sites would usually have been sown in autumn, but this year, they will all be spring-sown plots. This has required our sponsors to do some quick thinking around crop types, cultivars and treatments. We really appreciate their continued support.”

This year was FAR’s 25th anniversary, so Crops will also be the focus of some birthday celebrations.

Public Meeting - Meet Todd Muller

Wednesday 8 July | 2.30pm Valetta Room, Hotel Ashburton 11/35 Racecourse Road, Allenton, Ashburton

Starting in 2002, Crops was a full day event which allowed farmers to view demonstration plots investigating everything from cultivars to cultivation, and to see and hear the latest research findings from New Zealand and international experts.

Its aim was to provide every attendee with new information to take away and apply to their own farming operation.

As in previous years, Crops 2020 will focus on the future of New Zealand cropping, highlighting

sustainable new technologies and market opportunities for grain, seed and supplementary feed crops.

Crops is held at the FAR Chertsey arable site, a 13.5 hectare mix of irrigated and non-irrigated land on SH1 just north of Chertsey.

FAR has had demonstrations at the site for 17 years, providing a long-term showcase for a number of high-profile research projects, funded by grower levies and external grants, on a number of crops.

Shovel ready?

I am intrigued – I see the editor of the Guardian is again supporting the proposed four-lane highway – advocated by Andrew Falloon.

You’ve raised the fact that this project hasn’t been included in the first couple of rounds of shovel-ready projects.

Can you please clarify – is the four-lane highway shovel-ready?

Has a business case study been completed?

Has it been costed?

Are consents in place?

Because if none of that has been done, then it isn’t shovel-ready, is it?

So how could you possibly expect it to get the big tick, when nothing is ready.

I look forward to hearing how shovel-ready this proposed shovel-ready project is.

RL (Rebecca) Simmons

Editor Matt Markham replies: While mentioned in a paragraph about shovel-ready projects, the implication of the four-lane highway in the editorial was outlined as a completely separate suggestion of work, or jobs, that could be given the green light to go ahead and not intended to be seen as being a shovel-ready project.

I apologise if it was taken this way.

Exclusion a bold decision

T

he days of social media giant, Facebook – leading the way in the promotion of news may be about to come under sufferance following media powerhouse, Stuff’s decision to cease all activity on the platform yesterday.

In what could best be described as a bold move made for moral reasons, senior editorial managers were informed yesterday by business power suits that the trial would be implemented effective immediately.

And from early yesterday morning, Stuff and all mastheads under the banner fell silent on Facebook.

In a normal day they’d use the platform to share news stories and engage people into clicking onto their website – a way in which they could justify online advertising due to the ability to measure analytics.

Close to one million people follow the social media channel of the parent organisation with close by media outlet The Press boasting 80,000 followers on its own channel.

It’s a bold move by Stuff to enforce such a trial because the Facebook platform is one of the greatest promotional tools available. As people flick through their news feeds the amount of stories available to read are constant and go a long way to increasing the readership of a news story.

Stuff said yesterday that the decision was made based on various unhealthy things such as fake news, hate speech and fraudulent advertising and they had decided to trial making a stand.

In the wake of the mosque shootings last year and Facebook’s reaction, Stuff ceased advertising on the channel citing their desire to not financially support a platform that profited off publishing hate speech and violence.

Whether it proves to be a smart move will ultimately not be plainly evident. Only those with the power to view the numbers behind the screen will know that.

But the rest of the media landscape in New Zealand will be watching on with interest as yesterday’s decision could set a precedent for how we view and use social media in the future.

Final words from president Katie

T

hree years after I was given the privilege of representing Federated Farmers as national president, what can I say but – what a ride! The role comes with highs and lows, not to mention a shed-load of calls from journalists, but overall it has been immensely satisfying.

One of the goals I set myself when I started out was to grab whatever opportunities I could to help bridge the perceived lack of understanding – even loss of trust – between urban and rural New Zealanders compared to just a decade or two ago. I wanted to highlight for all Kiwis the challenges and triumphs of our farmers and growers.

I think we’ve made excellent progress bringing town and country to a better understanding of each other. Over the last three years Federated Farmers has used the phrase “we’re all in this together” so well, and so often, as we’ve debated everything from global warming and water quality to biodiversity and job security, that people have recognised the truth of it.

Even town folk who no longer have any direct family connection to a farm have a better appreciation of what farmers are up against to make a living when they’re hammered by weather events, pest and disease incursions, and roller-coaster returns from an

increasingly protectionist international marketplace.

Hopefully the message that we are producing some of the world’s best and safest food, to the best of our ability while looking after the environment is finally getting through.

We will be able to do even better when we get properly digitally connected in all parts of rural NZ. Our farming colleagues in the most impoverished countries in many cases have better access to tech through smart phones than our rolling country does. It is ridiculous that many of my on-farm audits still require me to print out or hand write on paper forms the data that my dairy company, vet or fertiliser rep stores in the cloud.

There are other new technologies that need to be explored as we strive to feed rising populations. The nation still has not had the debate around GM technology in such a way that people understand what it is and what it isn’t. Discussing the opportunities around gene editing vs transgenics, with explanations of what they actually mean, would be a good

start. If we can get grasses out the door of the lab and into the ground that grow well with less fertiliser inputs then we won’t be faced with the sort of regulation now being proposed that will potentially destroy the ability to farm efficiently and productively.

Halfway through my term it looked like mycoplasma bovis was going to be the issue that would provide the biggest headache and heartache for our farmers. We’re still on that bold and world-leading eradication effort, and there’s no doubt M. bovis is continuing to take a toll on many farming families. But who knew that this year we’d all face an even more destructive disease.

Farmers – like all New Zealanders – now have the unnerving prospect of waiting out how much destruction the pandemic will ultimately wreak on global financial and trade systems, never mind paying back the billions of dollars we’ve had to borrow.

But Covid-19 perversely delivered a silver lining for agriculture in helping raise the awareness as to just how valuable our farming families are to the NZ economy.

We were deemed an essential service during the lockdown, able to offer security in a world turned upside as we continued producing top quality food to put on the tables of Kiwi families self-isolating in their household bubbles, and

continued to earn export revenue.

For farmers feeling misunderstood and under-appreciated, it’s been a real confidence booster.

From day one, I was never really that comfortable with the focus that the media took that I was the first female president in the organisation’s 120 history. I went with it but I have always believed that in Federated Farmers leadership, the right question is ‘what can you offer the organisation?’, not ‘what’s your gender?’.

Nevertheless, I think having women among our leadership team is a good reminder to the rest of New Zealand that our agriculture has long been underpinned by couples working together, each bringing their own perspectives and strengths. It’s useful to remind the rest of the country by having men and women – all working farmers – speaking for the organisation that those old newsreels of men out on the land on machinery and women confined to baking scones for the shearers is pre-war history.

I know the new president, Manawatu dairy farmer Andrew Hoggard, and the new board have the drive, talent and experience to ensure Federated Farmers remains a vital and valuable voice for New Zealand farmers.

MARKET REPORT

By Guy Trafford

A

word of warning came this week from a quote from Jane Li, a dairy food consultant and written in the South China Morning Post.

You don’t have to be a brain surgeon to know the importance of China to New Zealand’s (and Australia’s) dairy export trade.

However, Li sounded a word of warning regarding the fact that the Chinese are so enamoured with our dairy products as not only a source of milk for infants but also as a means to help boost the immune system and keep Covid-19 at bay.

The issue is around interpretation, labelling and, I dare say, ignorance.

Right from the top the Chinese populous have been sold on the benefits that milk can do for people’s health.

The problem comes when due to lack of understanding too many believe that anything emanating from milk must be good and is equal in its benefits.

Li has highlighted information published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and collected by industry group Dairy Australia.

The concern is around lactoferrin and whey protein products being used as a substitute for ‘full food’ dairy products.

This is especially concerning when children and babies’ diets are concerned.

Using Australian numbers, and New Zealand’s are very similar in profile, they show that exports and whey protein products have had astronomical increases.

Whey protein milk powders have increased from around 200400 tonnes per month to up to 1000 tonnes per month.

While lactoferrin tonnages

were not available, a 60gram tub which cost $4.20 to produce was being sold for the equivalent of between $56.40 and up to $84.60 per tub.

The major purchasers appear to be mothers of young children who buy it as a supplement to their infant formula powder.

A major reason for the surge in popularity are the claims being made on social media on the ‘powers’ of the products.

It raised the eyebrows of news company Reuters so much so that they did a fact check on the claims.

However, not surprisingly they found no evidence that either lactoferrin or whey proteins have any ability to prevent coronavirus infections.

The US-based Whey Protein Institute advises consumers, “to be clear: you shouldn’t take a scoop of whey protein you bought online or at a supplement store, mix it in liquid, and feed it to an infant” because of possible protein toxicity.

Both the Australian Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment, and the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries advise that their infant formulas and whey proteins, which are aimed at adults, meet Chinese import laws and there has been no contravening of claims or labelling.

Many exporting companies leave the marketing in China to their Chinese domestic partners where they may relabel or make additional claims, often still without breaking any regulations.

Where New Zealand and Australia should be concerned is what happens when someone reports a child or baby becoming ill through protein toxicity or some form of deficiency.

The melamine scandal of 2008 caused majors issues for exports as did the botulism scare which some smaller companies never

recovered from.

The risk is that while exporters may not intend their non-infant formula powders to be directed towards babies, it certainly appears that a considerable amount is ending up there.

China has a growing domestic production dairy milk sector, in 2018 it had grown to be approaching 44 per cent of the infant formula trade and would no doubt like to see imported competition reduced.

The ‘abuse’ of non-suitable powders for infants could well play into their hands.

While the current returns to New Zealand and Australian

manufacturers must be gratifying, especially in these challenging times there must be a risk that could drag down New Zealand exporters’ reputations if China decides that the benefits of importing milk is not as favourable as it once was.

Australia is already on the wrong side of a trade and diplomatic dispute with China which is hitting it in the pocket.

In a time when consumers are demanding more information about what they are getting, labelling seems to be a weak link in the supply chain.

The concerns range from what can be labelled as produced in New Zealand, when the reality is much or even most of the product originated overseas (this one I believe really needs straightening out as it could cause real harm to our (NZ’s) reputation), to what can be ‘altered’ once it enters another country and leaves our jurisdiction.

This is the most difficult one to control and the manuka honey episodes were classic cases of this.

Laws and regulations can be imposed but unless they are followed through on, they don’t carry much weight.

What the solution is, I don’t know.

But I suspect it boils down to having good communication channels with the other countries and parties involved.

And their preparedness to follow through on their rules.

Sounds easy but in a country as large as China sorting out problems will be easier said than done.

The markets Nothing too dramatic this week with markets operating with a similar trend to what has been occurring since we broke out of the lockdowns which are starting to seem a distant memory.

Although the Victoria (Australia) experience a reminder that we are only a couple of rogue outbreaks from returning to a vastly different scenario.

Meat

The South Island schedules were the winners this week with a little more up-swing this week.

But we are only talking about very small gains.

Meat works around the world (notably USA and Germany) seem to be hot beds of Covid-19 outbreaks which may be helping to maintain some demand for New Zealand exports to help fill the gap.

Saleyards are experiencing the impact of the feed shortage it appears and demand has lessened with reduced supply also coming forward.

In-lamb ewes seem to be in demand although the larger works ewes still commanding top price.

Wool

Wool prices have not changed a lot from earlier weeks and no real recovery in sight until the global economy recovers.

Dairy

The next GDT takes place this week, and they will give the first real indication of what the new season will bring.

Most commentators are hedging their bets along with Fonterra.

■■CHICKEN VIRUS

Virus ‘here till 2021’ A chicken virus blocking exports to Australia is expected to hang around another year before New Zealand is clear of it, a poultry industry leader says.

In August last year Infectious Bursal Disease Virus Type One (IBDV-1) was detected on two Otago egg farms belonging to the same company. This can affect the immune system of young chickens, but doesn’t pose any risk to human health.

Recently concluded testing of poultry farms nation-wide found no presence of the virus elsewhere, said Michael Brooks from the Egg Producers Federation and the Poultry Industry Association.

Because the infected chickens on the Otago farms weren’t showing any symptoms they didn’t need to be slaughtered, and could continue laying.

But there were strict biosecurity measures in place on the farms to ensure the virus didn’t spread, he said.

The eggs from hens that had the virus were perfectly safe to eat, he said.

An estimated “probably a couple hundred thousand” hens had been affected by the virus, but he said that was a relatively small number given there were 4.1 million laying hens in New Zealand.

Farm gate price watch …

“There are birds there that on a blood test will show that they have the disease, but as has been the case all the way through, show no signs otherwise of the disease.

“So they’ll be slaughtered at the end of their laying cycle, in June 2021, and at that point we can definitely say that there are no birds anywhere in the country with that disease,” he said.

Brooks said until the virus is eradicated Australia has stopped importing poultry products from New Zealand, resulting in about $60 million in lost trade annually.

They should have the texture of sauteed mushrooms. Do not let them go cold as they will toughen up a little.

■■ Note on preparing paua: It is best to place whole, wild paua in the freezer and leave them until they are just beginning to freeze, then shuck and clean

them. Remove the gut, mouth and epipodium (frill). You can scrub off some of the black pigment if you desire. These paua can then be used immediately or replaced in the freezer until needed. You needn’t worry about all of this with farmed paua.

Tales of our twin town in Devon

By Connor Lysaght

A

s many of you may know, we are not alone out there …

And by that I mean, Ashburton has three sister city relationships and two friendship city relationships.

We have friendship city relationships with Puyang, China, and Xianyang, China, and we are sister cities with Minamiuonuma, Japan, Pulaski, United States, and last but not least, Ashburton, United Kingdom!

In the late seventies and early eighties, the Ashburton Guardian published many articles about our twin town in Devon, with Guardian journalist Ray McCausland having seemingly fallen in love with the town.

Articles included short historical columns on the town, as well as larger features and reports on contemporary issues in the town such as traffic problems.

Likely as a show of appreciation for his enthusiasm, McCausland received an autographed copy of the book Ashburton – The Dartmoor Town by Francis Pilkington in 1979, signed by the then mayor of the town, Ann Philpott.

The plague calls We are fortunate enough that, as a town and district, we have not faced as horrible a tragedy as our twin town once did, as the Black Death swept through during the mid-fourteenth century.

In 1305, Ashburton became one of Devon’s four official stannary towns, which all held a powerful monopoly on the county’s tin trade.

The plague, which made its rounds in 1348 and 1349, affected the town and surrounds so heavily that the tin trade was brought to a complete standstill due to the high mortality rate.

Nearly half the clergy in the diocese of Exeter died in those years, which according to Pilkington is a proportion much higher than elsewhere in England at the time.

There is no way of knowing precisely how many residents of Ashburton and surrounds fell victim to the plague, but there is nothing to suggest that the mortality rate of the area was any less than the average – it is believed that anywhere from 30 to 45 per cent of the population of England were killed by the plague.

During later flare-ups, Ashburton saw burial numbers swell anywhere from two or three times the usual, up to ten times the usual in 1626.

Our twin ties When our own Archdeacon John Branthwaite visited our Devon namesake, he was impressed by the 27 metre high tower of St. Andrew’s Church, built in the fifteenth century, as well as its impressive eight bells and an old oak chest near the font which was made in 1483 by carpenters John Soper and John Clyffe.

Ashburton, Devon is surrounded by rolling green hills, which Branthwaite thought gave the town a distinctive atmosphere.

An amusing stub of an article from the Guardian of January 2, 1980, states that Ashburton borough councillor Russell Anstiss had been “interested to learn that

Mr David Marshall Anstiss (no relative as far as he knows) has been elected Portreeve in Ashburton in Devon, England”.

The appointment of a Portreeve is an ancient Saxon tradition, dating back to the year 820, and the Portreeve was responsible for representing the monarch in legal transactions.

Nowadays, the Portreeve acts mainly as a social head for the town.

Today, many of the buildings you see in Ashburton along its main streets are protected, dating from the period after the iron and wool trades declined in the seventeenth century.

Ashburton, Devon is an interesting little town, with history in spades.

If you are curious about our twin town, you can learn more about our namesake on their website, ashburton.org.

Black Sticks refuting speculation over coach

Tiptoeing to the top The Mid Canterbury United 15th grade football side continue to streak ahead in Mainland 15th grade division 2 action. The unbeaten club came away with a comprehensive 5-0 win over Nomads at the Ashburton Domain on Saturday. The team now hold a five point lead at the top of the standings after five games with Christchurch Boys’ High School their nearest competition contenders.

■■RUGBY

Foster not players’ top choice as coach The country’s top rugby players don’t think Ian Foster should have the country’s top coaching job according to an NZME poll.

Media company NZME said it asked more than 100 of the country’s Super Rugby players anonymously on a range of topics, including the appointment last December of Ian Foster as Steve Hansen’s successor.

That decision divided public opinion, with many regarding three-time Super Rugby champion Crusaders coach Scott Robertson as the superior candidate over Foster.

The poll asked “Did the NZRU get it right with their All Black coaching group?”

Almost half (46 per cent) said no, while a further 26 per cent believed Foster was a good appointment but not his assistant team of John Plumtree, Scott McLeod, Brad Mooar and Greg Feek.

The remaining 28 per cent of the players said that they

were happy with the overall makeup.

NZME said the 40-question poll, conducted between March and June, involved at least 15 current players from each of the five Super Rugby Aotearoa teams.

Incoming Wallabies coach and former Chiefs mentor Dave Rennie was rated equal third (9 per cent), behind Highlanders assistant Tony Brown (17 per cent) and Robertson (16 per cent).

Other results included player ratings.

Playmaker Beauden Barrett was regarded as the country’s premier player, heading off forwards Ardie Savea and Brodie Retallick.

Barrett’s younger brother Jordie was rated the best under-23 player while the premier backline performers by position were Damien McKenzie (fullback), George Bridge (wing), Anton Lienert-Brown (midfield) and Beauden Barrett (fiveeighth).

Ian Foster is the All Blacks coach, but that doesn’t meet with universal approval.

The Black Sticks women’s squad are denying speculation regarding the resignation of assistant coach Katie Glynn.

A veteran of 134 matches for New Zealand, Glynn’s resignation from her coaching role with the national team was confirmed last week by Hockey New Zealand.

Reports following the announcement indicated the 31-year-old had fallen out with new coach Graham Shaw and did not agree with some changes being implemented within the squad.

The changes were in response to an independent review completed early last year which found a negative environment existed within the Black Sticks squad.

“The media has alleged that Katie is in some way working against positive changes within our environment.

“We as Black Sticks players absolutely refute these allegations,” read the statement issued by Hockey NZ on behalf of the 24 members of the national squad.

“As she did when she was a player, Katie holds herself to the highest standards as a coach and as a person. Her work ethic, dedication and passion for our team and its success are undeniable.

“We are extremely saddened that Katie has resigned from a role she loves and excels in.

“The Black Sticks Women have lost an integral element of our team, and offer Katie our full support going forward.”

Glynn’s resignation as assistant coach came after she spent just 18 months in the job.

Hockey New Zealand’s statement announcing the news said Glynn had resigned to “take a break” from professional hockey, with chief executive Ian Francis saying they would “stay connected” with her about future coaching opportunities.

The news also followed two other high profile departures from the Black Sticks team environment.

Veteran defender Brooke Neal announced the end of her international career in May, while threetime Olympian Gemma McCaw confirmed her re-retirement at the end of last month.

In their statement on Monday, Hockey New Zealand said neither they nor the Black Sticks players would be making further comment about the resignation of Glynn.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): There’s something you’ve told yourself a lot lately. You know it’s just a story, but it’s your story, and it seems to be holding your sense of self in place, although honestly, you’ll be fine either way.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): The artist can turn any act into an act of art. The warrior can turn any act into an act of war... and it follows for the teacher, the lover, the provider. Who are you being?

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Material values are problematic because they can never be satisfied in any lasting way. New things wear out, and what’s hip and cool becomes old and dated, whereas values of the heart do not age.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): In lungeing for the brass ring, you risk a fall. You could avoid a tumble by avoiding the ring, but that would be off-brand for you. Anyway, your odds are better than usual today. Take the chance.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): When you were younger, you crossed lines and felt the sting as the universe put you back in place. Because of this, you now display a self-generated restraint and grace that will win you all kinds of favour.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): While some are motivated by a reward just out of reach, you’re in no mood to waste time chasing a thing that doesn’t make you happy. Get a taste of what you’re in for so you can decide if it’s worthwhile.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The time you spend fine-tuning your image will be worthwhile, not because these details make a tremendous difference in the eyes of others but because you’ll learn about yourself in the process.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The ancients built temples that still endure: grand offerings to vast and higher powers. Lofty purposes are more visible and ever-present reminders of their own maintenance needs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The best things in life are not free; they are earned and bartered through investments of duty, loyalty, passion, respect or other emotional currencies such as what you’ll be wielding today.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): There are uncomfortable things that come up. In the past, you would have avoided this, but now you confront with pleasure because life is so much easier when you take it head-on.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The truth that was supposed to set everyone free didn’t because no one could agree on what it was. Maybe it’s more of a feeling than a word – one found in silence.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): It’s easy to do the right thing when you have built the moral character for it. It’s hard to do the clever thing. Today’s situation needs you to think above, beyond and ahead of how the others are thinking.

Combined over-run

Mid Canterbury Combined 1st XV captain Isi Ula worms his way through a gap during Saturday’s UC Championship encounter with Christ’s College.

By Adam Burns

adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

A late burst by Christ’s College put to bed Mid Canterbury Combined’s resistance in the UC Championship at the weekend.

Christ’s completed a resounding 54-5 win when their wing Sean Rutherford-Bradford snagged a second half hat-trick which inflated the scoreboard at Ashburton College.

Up until this point, the young Combined outfit, who are still without some key troops, competed hard and managed to rebuff the threats of the Reuben Thorne-coached Christ’s College side for significant periods.

However once Christ’s began emptying their bench in the second spell, Combined’s resolve eventually cracked with the

Christchurch school running in eight tries in total.

The fixture was originally slated to have been played at Christ’s home ground, however it is understood it was moved to AshColl following heavy rain in Christchurch last week.

Combined enjoyed the better start as the home team utilised their big ball runners during the initial stages of the game.

There was early joy for the home team when star custodian Charlie Brown, lurking near the contact area, swindled a try following an attacking Mid Canterbury feed.

It would be the only cheer for Combined on the scoreboard as Christ’s proceeded to command possession courtesy of a clinical display from their pack.

Christ’s crossed the chalk in the 12th minute when play was sent down the blindside following a lineout drive with wing Matt Durant sailing to the corner untouched.

Christ’s extended their lead a few minutes later when captain Fletcher Anderson peeled away from a maul to run 20 metres to the line.

Lock Fiti Sa then finished off another raid deep in Combined territory, using his size to brush off would-be tacklers who had spent a large portion of the half defending, to charge to the line.

Although College had raced out to 21-5, they were guilty of trying to force the issue through handling errors and a lack of fluency.

When they did get their hands on the ball, Mid Canterbury made

several spirited stabs into College territory, however a lack of support and ruck speed usually rubbed out these opportunities.

Probably the biggest delight for the AshColl faithful came via a crunching tackle in midfield by Otto Markeo on Christ’s fullback Sam Idiens which brought the house down.

The buzz would be short-lived though, as College landed another blow before halftime when loosehead Olly Ryan crashed over in the corner – the visitors again exploiting the five-metre channels.

A 28-5 lead at halftime stretched to 35-5 early in the second half when a relentless lineout drive marched Combined onto their line resulting in a try for hooker Jack Jones.

The encounter descended into a scrappy affair for most of the second half as Combined diffused several of Christ’s counters.

Combined also lost No. 8 Pasi Hala to injury midway through the second half.

However Christ’s finally clicked into gear thanks to their bench, with Rutherford-Bradford finishing off three chances late, one of them a superbly-taken kick and chase.

Christ’s 50-point haul included a deft goalkicking display by Nic Shearer, with the young first five boasting a success rate of more than 87 per cent in this year’s UC Championship.

The Mid Canterbury boys are back home again this weekend where they face Rangiora High School.
