Self-harm a problem in Mid Canty By Susan Sandys
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
A recent study identifies a potentially growing and significant youth self-harm problem in Mid Canterbury. Researchers examined data on self-harm presentations to Ashburton Hospital’s emergency department for patients aged 15 to 24 and compared them to national rates. “Self-harm is a strong risk factor for completing suicide, so it is important to establish and monitor rates of self-harm,” the researchers said. Young Maori were over-represented in recent years, as were females, those aged 15 to 19, those from poorer suburbs and those living in the more built-up areas. There were 197 presentations from 162 patients to the department over the 10year study period, which was from January 2008 to December 2017. Of the presentations 75.1 per cent were female, 88.3 per cent were non-Maori and 68 per cent were aged under 20 years. “Most presentations were for self-poisoning, often with multiple drugs or toxins, and, in line with current hospital policy, most were admitted to hospital for an overnight stay,” the researchers said. There were significantly higher rates of self-harm presentations in the post-earth-
quake period than in the pre-earthquake period, while the lowest rate of presentations was in 2011, the year of the Canterbury Earthquake. From 2012 onwards, youth self-harming rates for non-Maori remained similar to pre-earthquake rates, but Maori rates rose steeply, with an almost nine-fold increase during the 2013 to 2017 period, from 116 to 1106 per 100,000. “It is possible that improved ethnicity data collection in recent times may explain part of the jump in rates,” the researchers said. “However, it seems more likely that young Maori in this district have a real increased risk of presenting with selfharm due to increased rates of distress or changed help-seeking behaviour. “In addition to the outstanding burden of health and socio-economic inequities that have persisted since colonisation, Maori settled in the Ashburton District have typically migrated from other areas of New Zealand. Being distanced from ancestral whenua (land) and whanau (family) could potentially be adding a further sense of displacement.” In addition, the study found rates of selfharm and suicidality over 10 years that “appear” to be higher than in the national population.
Kevin Clifford The local rate, averaged over 10 years, was 562.7 per 100,000 youth self-harm presentations compared to a national rate of 456 in 2013, which was the mid-point year of the study. And using unpublished data from the Coroner’s Office, the local annualised rate of completed suicide over
the 10 years was 37.6, compared to the national rate of 17.8. The study, published in the Journal of Primary Health Care in July, was one of very few in New Zealand specifically examining self-harm among rural youth, and contributed to the body of research to date. What was already known was that New Zealand had high rates of youth suicide, and globally rural youth tended to be at greater risk of suicide than urban youth. Safer Ashburton general manager Kevin Clifford said the trends were “very concerning, not only for Mid Canterbury, but for rural areas in general”. “The information we have seen indicates that rural areas are more susceptible to these trends than cities,” Clifford said. Mid Canterbury community organisations had been aware of the issues and working hard to increase service provision locally. “Safer Ashburton itself has embarked on the Lives Worth Living Project as a way to try and address some of the drivers behind these issues and we have had tremendous community support to get this project off the ground,” Clifford said. Two Lives Worth Living suicide prevention co-ordinators in one full-time equivalent position began in their role based at Community House earlier this year.

Mid Canterbury locals lining up for a shot at the $32 million Powerball draw tonight can do so knowing they hold a better statistical chance than most areas around New Zealand. As part of the promotional push towards tonight’s massive draw, Lotto NZ yesterday revealed the luckiest spots in New Zealand and Ashburton comes in at 19th on the list of 72 regions for the 2019 calendar year. Per capita winnings, Ashburton’s return is $82.20, a long way off from the Manawatu region which boosts a per capita winnings of $395.42 but a long way ahead of our close neighbours Selwyn whose return is a measly $23.25.
Volunteers for the annual Pink Ribbon Appeal stepped out into the public yesterday to begin the annual campaign. In Methven, Alison Esler and Liz McMillan (right) braved the cool temperatures to do their bit to help raise funds for the worthwhile cause under the shelter of the Methven Mall.

Students add their voice to voting Business
for sale, future up in air: Ellis
By Sue Newman
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
Their votes may not change the outcome, but 27 Ashburton Intermediate School students have taken a keen interest in this year’s local body elections. Year 7 teacher Kristina Sheppard had taken the opportunity to involve her class in a Youth Voting initiative promoted by Local Government New Zealand to create awareness of the elections among intermediate and college age students. The initiative allowed them to experience the election process first hand, considering and discussing key issues and completing ballot papers. It was seen as a way to highlight the importance of having a say in the issues that affected their lives now and in the future. During the final days of last term, Sheppard and her students had focused on the elections, the candidates and the issues involved. And those students surprised her by their knowledge of the candidates and the issues that were important. “They were really quite engaged. They’d obviously listened to their parents’ conversations and discussions got quite heated at time over who they would vote for and why they wouldn’t vote for other candidates,” she said. The students took the actual voting process seriously, in spite of knowing their votes would not affect the election’s outcome, Sheppard said. At the end of the term, she collected the students’ voting papers

and deposited them in the ballot box at the Ashburton District Council. Those papers have now made their way to the vote counting centre although they will not
become part of the official vote count. Ashburton College and Ashburton Christian School also signed on to the Youth Vote initiative.

Late deciders have until noon to vote If you woke up this morning and realised you hadn’t voted in this year’s local body elections, it’s not too late. Tardy voters have until noon today to complete their voting papers and to drop these into a ballot box at the Ashburton District Council’s office. Nominations close at noon sharp but until then eligible vot-
ers who have not received their voting papers in the mail or who have lost them can also complete special voting papers. Voting in this year’s election has been strong, with 48.57 per cent of votes returned by late Thursday, slightly ahead of the same time in the 2016 election. Total vote count in 2016 was just over 53 per cent.

Once voting closes, a progress result is expected to be posted on the council website early afternoon. The progress result will be based on the counting of around 98 per cent of the returned votes, but won’t include votes made on Saturday morning. These votes will be counted early Saturday afternoon and included in the pre-

liminary results, which the council anticipates will be available later in the afternoon. The council will publish both the progress and preliminary results on its website ashburtondc.govt. nz/elections, and results will also be available via its free Text Alert service and its social media channels, Facebook (@AshburtonDC) and Twitter (Ashburton_DC).
The fallout from this year’s local body elections has started before the results are out. Two-term Ashburton District Councillor Russell Ellis became ineligible to stand for election for another term after his nomination form was declared invalid after a nominator was found to live outside the Ashburton Ward. With council service off the table, Ellis has decided to take a long, hard look at his future options. And that includes putting his business, Kitchen Express, on the market. Selling up had been on the longterm radar, but with the debacle over his nomination still rankling, Ellis said he decided he’d test the market now. If he sells, then it’ll be decision time on whether he stays around and makes another bid for a council seat in 2022 or whether he leaves town. “I guess there’s a three-year gap to see what happens. If the business sells, and I hope it will, I don’t really have a plan. It’s all up in the air,” he said. Forced to watch the lead-in to the election from the outside, Ellis said he’s decided to spend election day out of town. He’ll still be watching with interest as the results come in, however. “I look at it and I don’t really know how it’ll pan out. Voter turnout is pretty good and I think it’ll be a very close call.” Ellis joins Peter Reveley in the loss of experience around the new council table. This experience drain will be greater once the results are known as long-serving councillor Neil Brown and current mayor Donna Favel are among the four candidates chasing the mayoralty. One, at least, will not be in the new team.

No bread for ducks, says ‘kill-joy’ council By Susan Sandys

Ashburton Domain visitors get friendly with ducklings and their parents yesterday. PHOTO SUSAN SANDYS 111019-SS-0056 on board with the council’s suggestion. Ashburton Fanciers Society life member Roger McCormick accused the local body of being “kill-joys and idiots”. “I think it’s a wonderful thing for children to be able to feed the ducks,” McCormick said.
It was a pastime he had himself done as a child growing up in Ashburton, when he visited his grandparents who lived near the domain. Now residing in Motueka, he had lived in Ashburton most of his life. He used to fatten his own ducks for pocket money as
a child, mainly feeding them on potatoes and white bread soaked in milk. “It’s an acceptable diet if it only forms part of it, and that is the case, the ducks are not standing there waiting for their next feed.” The domain ducks would fly out to farm paddocks at night, to

Mid Cantabrians feeding ducks in the Ashburton Domain are being asked to think twice about the treasured pastime. The Ashburton District Council is considering erecting friendly signs advising about the activity, due to it not being good for the ducks or the domain. The issue is complicated at certain times of year in the domain as endemic and endangered black-billed gulls congregate with the resident waterfowl. Business support group manager Paul Brake said the council “does not actively encourage the feeding of ducks and gulls”. “We are considering appropriate signage, particularly adjacent to the ponds to help educate and advise the public,” he said. The council wanted to reduce the colonisation of ducks and gulls in some areas due to accumulations of bird droppings and debris allowing for disease organisms to grow which posed a public health risk. Additionally, bread was nutritionally deficient and made birds ill, while decomposing bread polluted the water. However, feeding ducks is a much-loved pastime amongst young and old, so not everyone is
feed on earthworms and grain. As a young man he used to go duck shooting and the ducks which he understood spent time in the domain were always the ones among the day’s bag limit which were plump and well fed. McCormick said while grain stores sold mixes specifically suited to ducks, in reality people feeding ducks were getting rid of stale bread from their pantries. “It makes far more sense to feed that to the ducks in the domain than for it to end up in landfill, so I don’t subscribe to the council’s view at all,” he said. However, the Ashburton SPCA advises not to feed ducks bread. Centre manager Rebecca Dobson said wheat, barley and other grains were preferred. “Bread can cause botulism in ducks which can be fatal,” she said. Other foods suitable for ducks include uncooked oats, cooked or uncooked rice, birdseed, grapes cut in half, unsalted nut pieces, defrosted peas and corn, earthworms or mealworms, chopped lettuce and chopped vegetable trimmings. Forest and Bird Ashburton advises not to feed black-billed gulls, as it interferes with their natural feeding routines.

Ashburton Guardian Reigns Longer Than The Queen When Robert Bell purchased a partnership interest in the Ashburton Guardian in 1900, a long reigning monarch was still on the throne of England.
Queen and Duke of Edinburgh had lunch in Ashburton Domain with invited guests. Both events commanded front page treatment in the Guardian.
Queen Victoria turned 81 in May, 1900, and, only the year before, had visited Ireland. The patriotic fervour displayed by Mid Canterbury people towards the South African War, extended to the “old country.”
Queen Elizabeth has served her subjects for 67 years. In its own distinctive way, the Ashburton Guardian has served the Mid Canterbury community for more than twice her reign. While Royalty played an important role, the newspaper’s emphasis has been on the community.
The Ashburton Guardian recorded her birthday and then her death in January the following year. She reigned as monarch for 64 years, only surpassed by her great-great grand-daughter, Queen Elizabeth the Second. Queen Elizabeth and her husband, Philip, visited Ashburton twice. The first time was in 1953, shortly after her coronation. On that historic occasion, Mayor Bathurst, lost his notes and the Queen had to show him where he’d reached. “You’re a pal,” he replied. On the second occasion in the 1980s, the

Bruce Bell shows off both the broadsheet Guardian and today’s compact issue. Owner/Publisher, Bruce Bell, said the Guardian can’t do it alone. It needs the community’s support, advertising, news and ongoing subscription to keep the
newspaper flourishing and viable. He referred to the road the Guardian was travelling and invited Mid Canterbury people to travel it with him.
A Day Full of Pyjamas, Panic and Pride October 13, 38 years ago was like any other Mid Canterbury day. It was a fine, spring morning, people had their breakfast and went to work. It was a Tuesday and the afternoon newspaper, The Ashburton Guardian, prepared for another issue. But the day would turn out differently. People had populated the fashion shops in town to buy spring outfits and hats. Book shops had done a brisk trade, selling crayons, paper and decorations. The shingle at the side of Seafield Road gleamed in the sun. The Domain had been cleaned, manicured and dusted. Nan Gilbert didn’t notice that as she walked her dog. What she observed were men lurking suspiciously in the bushes and around the Domain. She called the police. At the other end of the phone someone said, “Is the call from a woman in pyjamas, wearing a dressing gown with a German Shepherd?” Her night attire attracted interest from the
top security agents in the land. In Burnett Street, Guardian editor, Malcolm Hopwood, had a busy day when suddenly it was interrupted. A woman, known for her privacy, visited the newspaper. Her name was Bobbie Barwell, a local identity. She flashed her driver’s licence and showed off her pristine MG sports, with the hood down. It was British racing green, identical to the car Prince Phillip drove, when courting Princess Elizabeth, back in the 1940s. It was the sort of vehicle that would stop a Rolls Royce. And it did. You see October 13 wasn’t any old day in the thriving heart of Mid Canterbury. It was the day when the Queen and Duke came to town. They’d be in Ashburton for just over three hours and have lunch with invited guests. Neither the editor nor the Owner/Publisher of the Guardian, John Bell, were invited and they were prickly about it. But they had a paper to edit, news to gather and a publication to print. Personal feelings didn’t come into it. But like any provincial newspaper, they wanted to champion the community. Sometimes they weren’t above creating the news themselves. So the editor told Bobbie and her friend to park the car prominently at the side of Seafield Road and wave a placard which said “Remember?”
Former editor, Malcolm Hopwood, reflects on a publication from the 1980s.
It would make a great story in addition to the quail eggs, petit fours and Blenheimer that was consumed at lunchtime.
Bobbie was even told that, if she shouted loud enough, the Duke of Edinburgh might halt the Rolls, walk over to the MG and take it for a spin along the tarmac at Ashburton Aerodrome. After all MG stood for “My Girl” and Prince Phillip was courting the most sought-after woman in the world. It wasn’t to be. The bullet-proof vehicle slowed, Phillip looked out, motioned to Bobbie and the MG but the Royal Rolls kept moving. However any vehicle that travels up Seafield to the Domain has to return and Bobbie and the Guardian were waiting.
photos. The Guardian felt proud and subscribers loved it. The following day, Nan Gilbert walked her dog in the Domain. She wore her PJs and dressing gown but there was no security service to witness them, record her movements or for Fido to bark at. The Domain was pristine and quiet. Ashburton had returned to normal.
In the meantime editor, Malcolm Hopwood, still prickly, walked to the Domain to try and attract the Queen’s entourage. Surely a young Dickie Arbiter, the Royal correspondent, would be among them. It would be a great story for the BBC, after the Guardian had used it. But he couldn’t get near. He had no official invitation. Instead it was left to Bobbie to do her thing. The Rolls returned to the RNZAF plane. When it reached Bobbie, it stopped. The Duke leaned out of the window and asked her about it. Was it his? No, it was hers and she didn’t think he was a previous owner. But it brought back memories and he asked more questions. Finally the Rolls Royce left but not before Bobbie received her own Royal wave from the Queen and Duke. The Guardian had its exclusive, just like thousands of stories before and after that can only be found in its pages. The story was run, it was front page with

The Farmers team of By Sue Newman

Fifty years ago the Ashburton retail store known today as Farmers was a very different business. There were many more staff on the payroll and the range of goods sold was much wider. It also traded from a different location, at the opposite end of the East Street retail precinct. Then under the management of Doug Worner, The Farmers traded from a two-storey building on the corner of East and Havelock Streets. Its stock ranged from groceries, furniture and clothing to livestock trading. This photo of Ashburton staff in 1969 show that almost 100 people were on the payroll. As a national organisation, Farmers celebrated its 100th birthday in 2009. It began as a modest mail order business in October 1909 with the first sale a roll of wire netting. Today there are 58 stores across New Zealand employing 4000 people. It was founded by Scottish immigrant Robert Laidlaw and its initial focus was on rural communities.

It led the way in retail being the first to hold a Santa parade, the first to offer a free carpark and it was the first to introduce hire purchase shopping in New Zealand and was one of the first stores to go into self service rather than full service shopping.
Early mail order catalogues were a tome, made up of 500 pages, and packed with advertisements for merchandise such as flour, tea, bicycles, sewing machines, cars – even houses. By 1960, one in 10 New Zealanders had an account with the company. Ten years later, Farmers became the biggest department chain in the country, after buying
Calder McKay, a South Island company. In 1986, Farmers was taken over by investment company Chase Corporation and six years later, was bought by Deka, with the Maori Development Corporation and Australia’s Foodland. The business returned to New Zealand ownership in 2003 when Anne and David Norman, the owners of Pascoes, bought it.

Mystery piglet handed to SPCA By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz
Ashburton SPCA Centre staff were left surprised earlier this week when a tiny piglet that is only a week old came in to their care. The piglet, named Charlotte after a character in the famous film Charlotte’s Web, was found by a member of the public in the middle of passing lane on State Highway 1 near Winchester. “We have absolutely no idea how a tiny one-week-old piglet ended up on the road on her own,” a SPCA spokesperson said. “Fortunately the man who Left – A lost piglet has been given the name Charlotte. PHOTO SUPPLIED
found Charlotte managed to catch her and brought her to safety at our SPCA Ashburton Centre. “She is just 1.4kg which is light for a piglet and she has been spending some time under a heat lamp to warm up.” Charlotte is going to be fostered out to a local vet so that she can continue recovering. “We rarely see cases like this, this is the first pig we have ever had at our Ashburton Centre,” they said. “We have advertised Charlotte on lostpets.co.nz but so far no owners have come forward for her.” Charlotte’s foster mum reported she was doing well and had even figured out how to use the cat flap.
Smith’s shearing record up for challenge Rakaia shearer Grant Smith will be anxiously watching this summer as an attempt is made to break a world shearing record he has held since November 1999, one of the longest standing on the books. That year Smith set a new standard for a merino wether shear, 418 in nine hours, but Central Otago North shearer Stacey Te Huia has that record in his sights. The Smith record is one of at least two attempts that will be made on world records this summer after a two-year hiatus in which four new marks were set overseas. Multiple record breaker Te Huia’s attempt on Smith’s record will be the first of the two registered with the World Sheep Shearing Records Society. The challenge will take place on December 7. He currently holds a twostand ewe record set in 2012 and
the solo 9hrs merino ewes record, shorn in Australia in February 2015. The second attempt will be on December 23 when established multi-stand record-breaker Coel L’Huillier and records-bid newcomers Kaleb Foote and Daniel Langlands, all from Waikato, at King Country station Puketiti, will attempt the three-stand 8hrs strongwool lambs record of 1825 set by Welsh shearers Matthew Evans and Delwyn Jones and New Zealand shearer Ryan Miller in January 2017, also in the King Country. For L’Huillier, from Te Akau, it will be a chance to get back into the books following the disappearance of a two-stand 8hrs strongwool ewes record 1068 he and King Country shearer Kelvin Walker held for more than two years before English shearing contractor Martin Howlett (539) and lefthander Jonny Roberts (536) shore a new mark of 1075
at Bigley Farm, near Salisbury in Wiltshire, on October 2. That was the fourth record set overseas since the last record in New Zealand in January 2018 when Te Hui’s sister, Kerri Jo Te Huia, set a women’s nine hours solo strongwool ewes record in a North Wairarapa woolshed. The other three were all in Australia. Each of the record bids is expected cost over $10,000 to run, including recently-increased fees of $US2500 for the solo attempt and $US4200 for the three-stand attempt, and other costs associated with international judging panels required for each attempt, and feeding the substantial short teams. The longest-standing record in the WSSRS register is the three-stand nine hours strongwool ewes record of 1857 set by New Zealand shearers Ricky Pivac, Dion Morrell and Chris Brooker in 1993

Ex-Timaru woman puts suicide on global stage By Sam Morton sam@timaruapp.nz
A former Timaru woman is behind the world’s first global mental health campaign, encouraging people to lobby their national leaders to action urgent change and intervention around alarming suicide statistics. The campaign, titled Speak Your Mind, encourages people to record a 40-second video clip about what they want to see happen in the mental health space – reflecting the harrowing fact that every 40 seconds someone around the world takes their own life. Jazz Thornton, born and bred in Timaru before shifting to Auckland in her teenage years, has been a long-serving advocate for the issue in New Zealand – drawing on personal experiences to help people understand the impact suicide has on those left behind. Thornton, now 23, alongside United for Global Mental Health chief executive Elisha London who has spearheaded the initiative, was on hand to launch the Museum of Lost and Found Potential exhibition in Covent Gardens, London earlier this week. The exhibition showcases items from people with mental health issues, including a tree branch that not only saved Thornton’s life, but duly represents her story among the tangible and stark reminders worldwide. As part of their efforts, Thornton and London have received the backing from some global household names and world leaders including Stephen Fry, Jacinda Ardern, Royal Family representatives Prince William and Prince Harry, among other notable dignitaries – bringing on board more than 15 countries from throughout the United Nations. According to the World Health Organisation, it is estimated around 800,000 people die from suicide every year worldwide – clearly representing a global issue too large for individual nations to tackle separately. “Suicide is a global issue and yet countries are trying to fight it by themselves,” Thornton said. “I think it is so important and so valuable that we actually band together and fight it together, because only then, we’re going to start seeing significant change.” The exhibition will run through until October 15, before hitting the road and travelling internationally to spread the word. Thornton is also the co-founder of Voices of Hope and has been credited for saving thousands of lives with her powerful and hard-hitting video documentary, Jessica’s Tree.

■■SYRIA
UN undecided on Turkey’s offensive AP The divided UN Security Council failed to agree on Turkey’s offensive in northeast Syria on Thursday, with Europeans demanding a halt to military action and Syrian ally Russia calling for “restraint” and “direct dialogue” between the two countries. The five European council members who called the closed meeting would have liked its 15 members to agree on a statement on the Turkish offensive, launched after President Donald Trump suddenly withdrew US forces from the volatile northeast. The United States proposed a statement that expressed “deep concern,” called for protection of civilians, and asked Turkey to go through diplomatic channels rather than take military action, council diplomats said, speaking on condition of anonymity because consultations were private. But Russia’s UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told reporters afterward that any Security Council statement needs to take into account other aspects of the Syrian crisis, not just the Turkish operation, and should demand the immediate termination of “the illegal military presence” in the country.

So the Europeans issued their own statement after the meeting, urging Turkey “to cease the unilateral military action.” They said the offensive threatens progress against the extremist Islamic State group by a global coalition, undermines stability of the region and exacerbates “civilian suffering.” Turkey says it is targeting Kurdish fighters, who fought alongside
US forces in routing the Islamic State extremist group from northern Syria. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government considers the Kurds “terrorists” who are allied with Turkey’s outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party. US Ambassador Kelly Craft said Trump “has made abundantly clear” that the United States “has not in any way” endorsed Turkey’s
decision to mount a military incursion in northeast Syria. She told reporters the president has emphasised to Turkey’s government that it bears “full responsibility” for protecting Kurds and religious minorities, and for ensuring that Isis fighters remain in prison and the extremist group doesn’t reconstitute itself. Craft stressed that Turkey’s “fail-
ure to do so will have consequences.” She didn’t elaborate. The council meeting again displayed the inability of the UN’s most powerful body to deal with the more than eight-year Syrian conflict, which has claimed over 400,000 lives. The statement by the European council members – United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium and Poland – who were joined by Estonia which will join the council in January, was very similar to the European Union’s statement issued Wednesday. The council statement also urged protection of civilians and said “it is unlikely that a so-called ‘safe zone’ in northeast Syria, as envisioned by Turkey, would satisfy international criteria for refugee return.” And it stressed that “any attempt at demographic change would be unacceptable.” Russia’s Nebenzia called the Turkish operation “the result of demographic engineering some of the coalition partners did in the northeast of Syria.”

■■BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Manufacturing at seven-year low By Rebecca Howard NZME
New Zealand’s manufacturing activity shrank for a third month in September as production hit its lowest level in more than seven years. The Bank of New Zealand-BusinessNZ performance of manufacturing activity was unchanged from August at 48.4 points, remaining below the 50 level that separates expansion from contraction. “While it is good to see the sector not declining further, it remains stuck in a tight band of contraction,” said Catherine Beard, BusinessNZ’s executive director for manufacturing. “The key to lifting it back into expansion will be a sustained boost to both new orders and production in the months ahead.” The latest PMI reading showed the production sub-index fell to 46.2 points from 49.2 in August. It was well below its long-term average of 53.9. “With this, we should probably expect manufacturing activity to contract again in the 3Q GDP accounts, having done just that in 2Q,” said BNZ senior economist Craig Ebert. “Having said this, if it’s a man-
ufacturing recession then it’s an extremely mild one compared to what the industry went through in 2008/09.” It touched a low of 36.1 points in November 2008.
Gross domestic product expanded 0.5 per cent in the three months ended June, following a 0.6 per cent rise in the March quarter. It was up 2.1 per cent from the same quarter a year earlier. Man-
ufacturing activity fell 0.8 per cent on the quarter, weighed down by a 2.8 per cent contraction in food, beverage and tobacco manufacturing. Yesterday’s manufacturing re-
port showed the finished stocks index fell to 48.8 points from 52.8 in August. Deliveries fell to 46.4 points from 47.9 in the prior month. The employment measure just managed to expand at 50.0 points from 49.9 in August. New orders were also above the line for expansion at 50.1 points from 45.9 in August. Ebert said both the PMI and the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research’s recent Quarterly Survey of Business Opinion paint a “broadly dour picture” around manufacturing. However, each of them also held “some hope that the worst might just be passing.” The PMI’s new orders index has “recovered a semblance of stability” and the employment component has also lifted after being at 42.3 points in July. In the case of the QSBO, while many of its activity indicators related to the prior three months were poor, expectations for the coming three months were, by comparison, relatively sound, he said. Last week’s QSBO showed that manufacturers were still the most pessimistic of all sectors, even though their confidence lifted slightly.

OUR VIEW
Rural outliers dealt second sports blow S
o, Spark Sport is set to take on the world of live cricket and it would appear that, a little bit like their Rugby World Cup coverage, not everyone is happy about the news. It was announced earlier this week that the telco company had secured the rights to cricket played here in New Zealand – dealing another death knell to Sky who seem just a couple of sports away from extinction now. The world is advancing and changing, but change is uncomfortable and unnerving for a lot of people and it’s understandable as to why there is so much concern out there. Had the Spark Sport Rugby World Cup experience been a faultless and easy one for the
majority of New Zealanders who have paid for the service and tuned in, or at least tried to tune in, to the action, then it could have been understandable. Instead, it’s been a hot mess of a disaster for so many and has most certainly left a sour taste in the mouth which will be hard to remove for quite some time. These issues, however, are seemingly not so much to do with the Spark Sport setup itself,
although major problems in the streaming of the All Blacks and South Africa match nearly four weeks ago were a direct result of their inadequacies. The big problem has been unsuitable and unstable internet connections, particularly in rural areas of New Zealand where technology hasn’t quite caught up with that of the big centres. All I’m hearing, and yes the vocal minority are often the ones who do the complaining, is that this week’s announcement of cricket being shifted onto the Spark platform will be the end for many loyal followers of the game when it comes to viewing it on their television sets. I’m probably not talking so much about my own generation,
we’re tech savvy enough to adapt to the changes that will be forced upon us by this announcement, but it’s the generations further on than my own. I’ll use my own grandfather as an example. He’s an avid cricket follower and, in between daily jobs, would watch the majority of a test match involving the New Zealand cricket side. His internet connection isn’t strong enough to carry livestream currently, so his days of watching cricket live are now limited – and that’s a shame. And he’s the sort of demographic that is more likely to actually sit and enjoy an entire game of cricket than anyone else, largely because they have the time. For those of us who will be
hardy enough to go with the plan, largely because there’s no other real choice, there’s another issue though that is really concerning. We still don’t know how much it’s going to cost us to watch cricket played here in New Zealand, but we do know that if we want to be able to view all games involving our national side we’re going to have to keep Sky in the mix because they will continue to show matches from across the globe featuring the Black Caps and other national sides. So, all of a sudden it’s not just one bill for watching sport. It’s two and it’s pretty hard to see how there is not going to be an increase in cost compared to what is being paid now. Frustrating.
In 2001, NBC announced that an assistant to anchorman Tom Brokaw had contracted the skin form of anthrax after opening a “threatening” letter to her boss containing powder. In 2002, bombs blamed on alQaida-linked militants destroyed a nightclub on the Indonesian island of Bali, killing 202 people, including 88 Australians and seven Americans. In 2007, Former Vice President Al Gore and the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change won the Nobel Peace Prize for sounding the
alarm over global warming. Ten years ago: A suicide car bombing near a market in northwestern Pakistan killed 41. Five years ago: The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that a health care worker at the Texas hospital where Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan was treated before his death had tested positive for the illness in the first known case of Ebola being contracted or transmitted in the US. One year ago: Pope Francis accepted the resignation of the archbishop of Washington,
Cardinal Donald Wuerl, after he became entangled in two major sexual abuse and cover-up scandals. Roelof “Pik” Boetha, the last foreign minister of South Africa’s apartheid era, died at the age of 86. Today’s birthdays: Singer Sam Moore is 84. Actress-singer Susan Anton is 69. Pop/rock singer/songwriter Jane Siberry is 64. Actor Hiroyuki Sanada is 59. Actor Carlos Bernard is 57. Jazz musician Chris Botti is 57. Rhythm-and-blues singer Claude McKnight is 57. Rock singer Bob Schneider is 54. Actor Hugh

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Saturday, October 12, the 285th day of 2019. There are 80 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On October 12, 1984, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher escaped an attempt on her life when an Irish Republican Army bomb exploded at a hotel in Brighton, England, killing five people. On this date: In 1492, Christopher Columbus’ expedition arrived in the presentday Bahamas. In 1810, the German festival Oktoberfest was first held in Munich to celebrate the wedding of Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of SaxeHildburghausen. In 1917, October 12 was New Zealand’s ‘blackest day’ during World War One when 843 New Zealand soldiers either died or were left mortally wounded between the lines at Passchendaele. In 1918, the line Niagara’s arrival in New Zealand was blamed for the onset of a flu pandemic. In 1942, during World War Two, American naval forces defeated the Japanese in the Battle of Cape Esperance. In 1976, it was announced in China that Hua Guofeng had been named to succeed the late Mao Zedong as chairman of the Communist Party; it was also announced that Mao’s widow and three others, known as the Gang of Four, had been arrested. In 1984, Actor Jon-Erik Hexum was mortally wounded on the set of his TV show Cover Up when he jokingly shot himself in the head with a prop pistol loaded with a blank cartridge; he was declared dead six days later. In 1997, singer John Denver was killed in the crash of his privately built aircraft in Monterey Bay, California; he was 53. In 2000, 17 sailors were killed in a suicide bomb attack on the destroyer USS Cole in Yemen.

Is this the slow death of democracy? E
ngage – to occupy oneself; become involved. So says dictionary.com. Democracy ... a system many in the world would die to be part of and, in the pursuit of that, many in fact do. For it to work though, it involves several things. A governance system based on liberties and controls as managed by bodies elected by citizens. And a population freely engaging in that process. In this country, every three years eligible voters get to have their say for a New Zealand government and in a further three year cycle, in differing years, we have a similar chance to engage in the management of our more immediate communities and elect persons to local body positions according to our evaluation of their skills and perceived aptitudes for the role. Some of us see different things in the same person, ranging all the way from bull dust to brilliance. It’s all a matter of perspective and a reference of the things that are important to us for ourselves, our families and community. But at least under democracy we get to have our say. But, is malaise killing democracy? I wasn’t around at the conclusion of the big WW Two, but I’m sensing that, as the free world adjusted to life without violent conflict, the population would have largely rejoiced in the chance to participate, to build communities, and lives, to develop infrastructure and provide support and purpose to our existence and along with that, would have enthusiastically embraced polling days, whether at a national or local body level. Knowing full well that life could have been very oppressive-

PETE’S PERSPECTIVE
ly different. But somewhere along the line, that meaning, that value, that impetus has dissolved for a large section of the electorate. Are we on the slippery slope to the demise of democracy? The figures around this past week, just days from the closing of voting at noon today, have been kind of embarrassing. Something is missing. People, by and large, in numbers way too massive, are simply not bothering to engage. Those that are, tend to be of an older demographic and we know this, by looking at trends going back more than a decade. What happens when those engaged senior people fall of their perch? And the demographic not presently voting are the only ones left? Who decides democracy then? I had this conversation with a forty-something female work colleague this week. She’s openly not politically tuned in, it’s not her bag. The democratic process doesn’t seem to be at all relevant to her life. She has “other things”. On Thursday though, following weeks of Pete pestering, she proudly showed me her completed and sealed envelope. Mel tells me that if voting was on line, more of her generation would participate. She reckons the problem is in the mechanism to place a vote. People under 40 don’t fill out old-skool hard-copy forms apparently.
Not even worthy ones. The future of democratic engagement she reckons, is digital. She may be right, but I suspect there’s more to it. I’ve become the proverbial stuck record this local body election. I have banged on to anyone and everyone. Do some reading. Get across the issues. Decide what is important for our town. Research the candidates. Find out their motives. Vote for whoever you like, but vote. Engage! And today, thanks to those who participated, we will have some answers. The other factors which make me ask the “big” question are evident when one steps back from the canvas and takes a broader look at life in Western civilisation. Trump, Brexit, trash TV, a British military that has reassessed its zero tolerance to drug use (because too many are doing them), ... in the West it’s all become “loose as a big hairy goose” man! And I’m observing this as a lover of the freedoms under which we live. But honestly, we are stuffing it right up cos we’ve lost perspective. We are now disconnected from the people who fought for and shed blood and died to give us a life we could participate in, and look, too many of us just can’t be stuffed. Their motivations are now largely lost on many. A few weeks ago we were treated to China showing the world its military might in a flawless parade in Beijing. Thousands of military personnel parading as one. It’s not a regime I’d wish to live under, but one couldn’t help but
A response to Chris Murdoch’s article “The world is not ending,” (in Guardian Farming) October 2019. I wish to make two points in response: First – young people are angry with us because our generation operates the mines, the foundries,
the factories and the marketing machinery that floods the world with consumer goods. They’re also angry with us because we operate the farms and factories that aren’t viable unless they pollute. Second – the difference between climate change and nuclear war, HIV or Ebola is that climate change has begun and it will affect us all, and everyone who follows us.
In 1992 the Kyoto Protocol set 400ppm of atmospheric carbon concentration as the absolute “do not cross” line; we’ve passed 410ppm. What happens now? By 2040, at this current trajectory, the Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets will begin collapsing, many cities in equatorial parts of the world will become unliveable, currently productive areas will become unfarmable, our tradi-

admire the disciplines, finesse and polish on display for all to see. The sense that, as a nation, their act is entirely together. They have rules and boundaries and consequences. They are organised and effective. A look at the West currently, and in every direction, a shambles. Governments and institutions play fast and loose with the rules. When it gets too hard, when it’s inconvenient we simply shift the boundaries. Like a half-pissed, dishevelled drunkard, in the big picture we’ve really let ourselves go. No one seems to have a clue. Especially at the top. It’s one scandal, one misstep, one pack of lies after another. What is real anymore in the age of Fake News? Where are the real role models? What are our young kids using as aspiration? But while democracy still has some shred of relevance, isn’t a pity more of us weren’t participating in it?

New era dawns for cricket By Erin Tasker
erin.t@theguardian.co.nz
When Allenton and Tech head out onto the field for the start of a new cricket season today – weather permitting – it will signal the start of a new era for Mid Canterbury Cricket. For the first time, Mid Canterbury is sending teams north to take part in the Canterbury Country senior cricket grade, a move that’s the result of a review at the end of last season. With Mid Canterbury Cricket’s Saturday senior competition looking like dropping from four teams down to three for the 2019/20 season, something had to change. So a plan was hatched and clubs were given the option of playing in the Canterbury Country competition, or a local midweek 18-over competition, which will start next month. Just one of the four teams that made up the local senior competition last year has taken up the opportunity to play in the country competition, and that’s Tech. Neither Coldstream or Lauriston have been able to muster
teams, while Methven were the team that last season indicated they’d be unable to field a team this season. Tech captain Bevan Ravenscroft said he and his team-mates are looking forward being tested against unknown opposition. “We might think we were good down here, and we might come across a couple of those country teams and they might show us up,” Ravenscroft said. But Tech head into the competition quietly confident, with an eye already on gaining promotion to the premier grade. “All of our guys are serious that we want to play as good cricket as we can and hopefully it’s going to be better cricket than we did last year, and our aim is to get to that promotion/relegation game,” Ravenscroft said. While the core of the Tech team from the past few seasons remains,
they’ve also picked up a few new players, like Liam O’Sullivan, Bevan Richan and Nick Gilbert, three past Lauriston players. Ravenscroft said there’s no weak links in the Tech side, and he’s particularly looking forward to seeing what O’Sullivan is capable of, along with opening batsman Will McKee. Mid Canterbury’s second team in the Canterbury Country competition is actually the club that pulled out of the competition after the 2017/18 season – Allenton – but it’s a whole new Allenton team. It’s a team completely made up of players from India, and captain Karmjeet Singh Khalsa (Karm) said the new-look Allenton team started as a few friends from India who would meet up for a game of cricket. Their numbers gradually grew to where they are now – 16 or 17 regulars – and they started thinking about forming a club. But then they got talking to Jeff Naish from the Allenton Cricket Club and decided instead to play for an existing club. For a lot of the Allenton players
it will be their first time playing competition cricket in New Zealand. They’ve all played back in India, but the extent of their cricket since arriving in New Zealand has mostly been social. So they’re looking forward to testing themselves in the Canterbury Country competition, and have been playing throughout the colder months to ensure they are ready. They’ve been having regular games with a fellow Indian team from Timaru, which is also preparing for a debut season in the South Canterbury competition, and have been regulars at the Ashburton Domain after hours, fine-tuning their skills. The Canterbury Country competition is split into two sections,
north and south, and both Allenton and Tech are in the five-team south section. Each Saturday there will be a crossover match and when that pits a Mid Canterbury team against a North Canterbury team, the teams will meet in the middle, at Rolleston’s Brookside Park. That’s how Allenton will begin their season, playing Swannanoa in a crossover match in Rolleston this afternoon, while Tech are also on the road, playing Weedons at the Weedons Domain. That’s so long as the forecast rain stays away. The competition will be 40over games, with play getting under way at 1pm.
Below: Allenton’s Karmjeet Singh Khalsa and Tech’s Bevan Ravenscroft are preparing to lead their teams into Canterbury Cricket’s senior grade for the first time.

■■ TENNIS
Fresh new look on court By Erin Tasker
erin.t@theguardian.co.nz
A new-look open grade tennis competition is set to hit the courts today, as Mid Canterbury Tennis moves away from a long-running format. The old Saturday afternoon A grade and A reserve grades have this season been scrapped in favour of the one open grade competition, still on a Saturday afternoon, which will feature larger teams. Instead of teams of four in two grades, six teams of six in the one combined grade will take to the court at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre this season, playing out ties which will be made up of six singles matches and three doubles. With that adding up to nine, it means that the old days of results going to a countback are gone, and Mid Canterbury Tennis open grade convenor Tony Brosnahan is excited about the season ahead. He said it’s hoped the new format will foster a good team environment, where the top players are able to inspire and mentor their team-mates. “We’ve got very strong top players playing alongside our regular line-ups and up-andcoming youngsters in our new, innovative competition, which has elements of previous interclub competition,” Brosnahan said. “Tennis in Mid Canterbury is very healthy and vibrant.” Most of the game’s big local names have returned for another shot, including defending Mid Canterbury Tennis Gala Cup men’s singles champion Cameron McCracken, who will this year lead Methven in to battle. McCracken will be joined by talented young local Tyler Leonard at two, with Aidan and Ryan Watt filling the next two spots, and Neil Alombro, Emily Molloy and Victoria Talbot rounding out the team. One of the biggest talking points heading into the season though, is the acquisition of Diego Quispe-Kim, who will play at number one for Fairton. He is the national under-14 tennis champion and has been
Defending Gala Cup champion Cameron McCracken will again make the weekly trip down from North Canterbury to play tennis in Mid Canterbury this season. PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN lured down from his home south of Christchurch, to play in the Mid Canterbury interclub competition. Quispe-Kim will be joined in the Fairton side by Connor Brosnahan at two, fresh from a stint overseas, while the remainder of the team is made up of Michael Kerr, Phil Crozier, Jade Brosnahan, Angel Spooner, John Leslie and Ashton McGrath. The Allenton side will be led by Jason Feutz at number one, with Lee Gilbert captaining the side from two, and Jake Parsons and Mathieu Lucas rounding out the top four. Feutz’s daughter Holly-Jane Feutz, Lachlan Adam, Murphy Dargue and Sam Holland fill the remaining spots in the Allenton side.
Meanwhile three members of the Bubb family feature in this year’s Southern side. Last year’s Gala Cup runner-up Sam Bubb will play at one, with Gareth Evans at two, while Ollie Bubb is at three followed by dad Matt Bubb. Jim Barry, Erin Connelly-Whyte and Jess Aldridge complete the Southern line-up. There’s a family feel to the Dorie side too, with Rhys Cromie set to play one and his brother Jayden Cromie at two. They’ll be joined by Harry Dargue, Tim Groves, Riley Breen, Tess Opie and Grace Austin. Mid Canterbury Tennis stalwart Peter Leonard returns for another season to lead the competition’s sixth team, Hampstead, with Peter Kirwan set to
play at two, and Bryn Looij and Josh Jones three and four. The remaining Hampstead team members are Matthew Hopkins, Ila Paula Cabalse and Maia Liu. The season gets under way today with Methven taking out Southern, Allenton facing Hampstead, and Dorie playing Fairton. The annual Mid Canterbury Tennis showpiece, the Gala Cup championships, will be played on March 14 and 15 and despite the change to the Saturday format, will still be played in the two divisions, A grade and A reserve. When it comes to interclub, Brosnahan said grades will be reviewed after the first round and new players are welcome to become involved, junior or adult.
■■MOTOR RACING
McLaughlin sounds a Bathurst warning Scott McLaughlin has sent out a warning ahead of Bathurst, setting a new lap record in practice. It might have only just been practice but McLaughlin will have his competitors looking over their shoulders heading into the great race this weekend at Mount Panorama. McLaughlin set a time of 2:03.7728, beating his previous record of 2:03.8312 that he set two years ago. The Kiwi posted his time in the last three-hour practice session,
where the drivers test their cars to the limit – setting them up for the qualifying session. McLaughlin is showing that he deserves to have the favourite tag, with the Ford Mustangs running hot. Jamie Whincup was the only Holden to break into the top 10, in practice. Fabian Coulthard was seventh, Shane can Gisbergen was eighth, with Andre Heimgartner 13th and Richie Stanaway 19th. “I had a lot of fun and hopefully
tomorrow the rain holds off and everyone can have a fair crack in the dry, but I doubt that will happen,” said McLaughlin. “I knew we could go a bit quicker after our second to last run, then I was just holding on. “We’re so quick across the top now, we’re so committed and virtually just wheeling it”. McLaughlin who held the previous record after beating Greg Murphy’s ‘lap of the gods’ two years ago. However, he set that on Satur-
day in front of a huge crowd. Thursday’s new record time was set in front of only the diehard fans. However, the Kiwi is not letting the great time get to his head. “It’s basically just a good start to the weekend. “You’ve got a clean car, a clean start to the weekend, but I’ve learnt that it’s Sunday that really counts and we’re just focused on that.” The great race gets underway at 11:30 am NZT on Sunday.
■■NETBALL
AshColl finish on a high note Ashburton College’s netballers have finished with a win to finish 15th at the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Netball Championships in Nelson. They took on Samuel Marsden College in the play-off for 15th yesterday morning and won it 33-30, to ensure they finished the tournament on a high. It was a tough tournament for the young College side, failing to pick up a win until the final day, although they came close on more than one occasion and gave some much larger schools a real run for their money. The tournament got under way on Tuesday and after losing all of their pool games, the Ashburton girls found themselves in the lower half of the draw. On Thursday morning they took on St Mary’s College, a team that finished fourth at the lower North Island tournament, as Ashburton College did at the South Island tournament. Down by one at half time, Ashburton College – led by Samantha Holden – applied a lot off defensive pressure, creating multiple turnovers which were converted by Hayley Tallentire at the shooting end. The girls were determined to maintain that pressure, but St Mary’s came back and turned the score around to be leading 29-27 at three quarter time. A couple off crucial turnovers in the final quarter saw the game slip away from the Ashburton side, eventually going down 36-40. Tallentire continued her fantastic tournament, shooting 32 out of her side’s 36 goals. After a short turnaround the Ashburton girls were back out on the court, this time against Napier Girls’ High School, and the Napier side came out off the blocks firing and before the Ashburton girls knew it they were down 13-30 at half-time. It was a game of two halves, with Ashburton clawing their way back into it, only losing the third quarter 10-11 to be down 23-41. All Ashburton players made it on court and the side’s two youngest players, Year 10s Ella Pearson and Billie Surridge, both put in great performances, as AshColl won the last quarter 10-7 for a final score of 33-44. Without a win, they went into the 15th place play-off, which they won.

Final shot for Hammers By Erin Tasker
erin.t@theguardian.co.nz
They may be out of semi-final contention, but there’s still plenty on the line when Mid Canterbury host Wairarapa Bush in the last round of rugby’s Heartland Championship today. Most of all for Mid Canterbury, it’s about pride. No-one’s more disappointed about the fact that Mid Canterbury are second-to-last on the table with one game to go, than the players and coaches themselves. It’s not how they saw the season playing out when they ran out onto the field in their opening game of the season against Horowhenua-Kapiti on August 24, but that’s the way it is and while they can’t make the top eight themselves, Mid Canterbury can still affect the outcome for a few other teams. So they want to end the season by rattling a few cages and finish 2019 on a winning note. It won’t be easy though. Since starting their season off with a win over a traditionally strong Wanganui side, Wairarapa Bush have made their mark as one of the teams to beat this season, and they’re secure in their top eight spot, it’s just a matter of how high they finish. At the moment, Wairarapa Bush are just one point off the top of the ladder, but third on points differential. If they win today they’re a chance of finishing top of the table, although that also requires Thames Valley losing to King Country and North Otago losing to East Coast, which is a long shot given East Coast are on a 49-game losing streak. East Coast are the only team Mid Canterbury have beaten this season, and the only team below the Hammers on the points table, and it will stay that way, with East Coast unable to catch them even if they do topple North Otago in Ruatoria today. It hasn’t been Mid Canterbury’s best season, but the side’s coaches Dale Palmer and Jason Rickard have remained positive throughout, and are still thinking posi-

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN tively today, as are their players. They’ve got nothing to lose, so spectators shouldn’t be surprised if they see players try a few new things on the field today. “We are definitely going out there to have a go and I wouldn’t say it’s all new things, but we are definitely going to have a crack at them,” Palmer said. “We are definitely not rolling over. “We’ve got a chance to still go up a place at least and a lot of people are probably pegging that their places are probably set in
stone because of what Wairarapa Bush will do to us, but we’ve got a chance to muck that up.” A bad run of injuries late in the season means that there’s again a few changes to the Mid Canterbury starting line-up today. The biggest injury loss is arguably that of barnstorming forward Seta Koroitamana, with Sam Madden coming in to fill his shoes today at seven. In the backs, Manasa Bari returns from a couple of weeks on the bench to start on the wing, while Lima Savaiinaea has moved
from the wing to the unfamiliar position of fullback, where Palmer said he’s been keen to have a crack. Everyone who takes to the field today will do so with their heads held high, Palmer said. It may not have been Mid Canterbury’s best season, but they’re a proud team who want to make the final memory of the 2019 season a positive one for everyone. “We just want to be proud of how we play and hopefully that leads to a good result,” Palmer said.

■■RUGBY WORLD CUP
How it stands Italy (12) finish third. New Zealand will play the Pool A runners-up, with South Africa playing the Group A winners.
Here’s a look at the quarter-final qualification scenarios as teams enter the final weekend of pool-stage action at the Rugby World Cup and following the cancellation of two matches (current pool points totals in brackets).
Pool A Ireland (11 points) can guarantee progress with a bonus-point victory over Samoa (5) on Saturday but a win without a bonus point could open the way for a three-way tie at the top on 15 points. In that scenario, the deadlock would be settled by total points difference in the pool matches, with Ireland (+52) and Scotland (+71) guaranteed to progress because their currently superior points difference could not be bettered in defeat by Japan (+46). Scotland (10) are scheduled to play Japan (14) in the final game of the pool phase tomorrow. If Scotland win with no bonus points for either side, they would go above Japan on the head-to-head result. They would also advance with a bonus point win – assuming Japan do not collect two bonus points in defeat. If Japan gain a losing bonus point and Scotland fail to claim a bonus point, Japan would finish above the Scots and advance to the knockout stage in first or second place. Victory or a draw for Japan would seal top spot, but they could also go through as pool winners if they lose to Scotland by seven points or less but score four tries, delivering a rare, but not impossible, two bonus points. There is still a possibility that the Japan v Scotland game will be cancelled due to the typhoon danger. If that happens, the match will be declared a 0-0 draw
Pool C Things are also settled here after England v France was cancelled. England (17) and France (15) are through to the last eight. Group winners England will play the runners-up from Pool D, probably Australia, with France likely to play Wales.
Japan could seal top spot in their group, or could still miss out altogether.
with each team being given two points. That would guarantee Japan top place and Ireland would take second place with a win, or even a losing bonus point against Samoa, with Scotland eliminated. Four years ago Japan won three games but finished third in their pool because of bonus points, pipped to qualification by Scotland and South Africa – the only time a team has won three pool matches and not progressed. Likely outcome: Ireland to qualify. Too close to call on who joins them. Pool B After the cancellation of New Zealand’s game against Italy, the top three places are settled. New Zealand (16) top the group, with South Africa (15) runners-up.
Pool D Wales (14) and Australia (11) are guaranteed a place in the last eight. A win for Australia against Georgia (5) last night could mean Wales need to win against Uruguay tomorrow to stay top, although they could still top the group if they pick up one or two losing bonus points against Uruguay (4), depending on whether Australia collect a winning bonus point. Fiji (7) are currently third, with no games remaining. Georgia would need to beat Wales to overhaul Fiji and secure automatic qualification for the 2023 World Cup. Likely outcome: Wales and Australia to both win their last game, Wales to top the group ahead of Australia.

Island players up in arms Pacific Island nations are sick of the status quo and are calling on World Rugby to do more after Fiji, Samoa and Tonga all failed to qualify for the Rugby World Cup knockout rounds. Fiji were the last Pacific side to reach the quarter-finals in 2007 and bowed out of contention at the current tournament with a narrow defeat by Japan on Wednesday. Between the end of the 2015 Rugby World Cup and the start of the current tournament Fiji played eight tests against socalled tier one nations, winning three and losing five. That included victory over France last year which lifted the Fijians to a best ever eighth place in the world rankings. While Fiji pushed Australia
and Wales close at this World Cup, hooker Sam Matavesi says if they want to take that next step they need to be playing the very best on a regular basis. “Honestly, I think it’s playing top nations constantly like Argentina in the Rugby Championship. “Argentina were a very good team before but if you’re playing New Zealand, South Africa and Australia week-in weekout it’s going to help you and we’re the same. “It’s no disrespect to who we play but if you want to be a power in these tournaments you have to play the best people all year,” Matavesi said. Tonga only played four games against tier one oppo-
sition in between World Cups, which included a notable win in Italy three years ago. Fullback Telusa Veainu said something has to change. “We get so sick of playing the island nations – that’s all we do is just play Fiji, Samoa, Canada – and those game are fine but for us to improve, to get better and to be competitive we need to play those tier one nation teams. “World Rugby needs to step in and do something because it’s not healthy, it’s not healthy for the sport,” said Veainu. The ‘Ikale Tahi have shown significant progress in their three matches to date, losing by 32 points against England, 16 against Argentina and just two against France.

Club sevens back on the paddock By Erin Tasker
erin.t@theguardian.co.nz
Club sevens makes a much-anticipated return to Mid Canterbury today, with a tournament which is hoped may help uncover a few new stars. The Mid Canterbury Rugby Union-run competition has attracted five teams – Celtic, Hampstead, Methven, Mount Somers and Rakaia – and after the final whistle sounds on the last game of the day, sevens will make way for today’s Heartland Championship rugby game between Mid Canterbury and Wairarapa Bush. The tournament will take the format of a straight round-robin, with five rounds meaning each team will get four games. The first games will kick off at 9.30am, and games will be played on both the main oval and the number two ground at the Ashburton A&P Showgrounds. Starting things off on the main oval will be Hampstead and Methven, while over on the second ground Mt Somers will take on Celtic, with Rakaia drawing the bye in round one, giving them a chance to see what their competition’s like before
they take to the field. Rakaia coach Terry Murray said his side boasts a few players to watch, including newcomer Dube Vasurakuta, Tai Ratu, and Mid Canterbury Heartland squad member Inoke Tonga. He’s also particularly impressed by Harvey Blyth, who recently played at the national under-19 tournament for the New Zealand Heartland side. Then there’s some classic Rakaia grafters like Todd Boag, Logan Flett, and young gun Tom Innes training the house down that should surprise a few, Murray said. Rakaia will start their campaign at 10.25am against Celtic, while Mt Somers take on Hampstead and Methven sits out round two, while round three – at 11.20am – will see Rakaia take on Mt Somers and Celtic play Methven. In the 12.15pm round, Hampstead will take on Rakaia and Methven will play Mt Somers, while the last round will see both games take to the main oval as a curtain raiser to the Heartland match. At 1.10pm Celtic will play Hampstead, and at 1.25pm Methven will play Rakaia.

■■ RUGBY LEAGUE
Fired up for the final By Erin Tasker
erin.t@theguardian.co.nz
At the start of this year’s Aoraki Rugby League competition, the Chertsey Oilers hadn’t won a game, ever. But barely a month later, it’s a completely different story. Not only have they got a win to their names, they’re unbeaten and preparing to head into the Duncan McGregor Memorial Cup final in Timaru today. They claimed their first win in round one, beating the Timaru Outlaws, and in round two they claimed their first ever win over the other Mid Canterbury side in the four-team competition, the Ashburton Barbarians. A week after that they drew with the team they’ll play in today’s final, the Country Cowboys, and last weekend they played the Ashburton Barbarians in a semi-final to find out which team would face the top qualifiers – the Cowboys – in the final, and won that. It’s been a season of firsts, and Oilers coach Reuben Browne hopes that the firsts will keep coming today, with the Oilers’ first final ending in their first title. He knows he’s got the team to do it and unlike last week, where they were a few players short due largely to work commitments, the Oilers will have close to their best line-up on the park today. Last week even Browne had to take to the field, and while it’s a possibility that could happen again today, he’s hoping he’ll get to direct things from the sideline, rather than on the field. At just 23, Browne is one of the youngest coaches of a senior sports side around, but he’s loving the experience. He’s been an Oilers man since the club was formed three years ago. Initially he wanted to play, but registered too late, so in year one he was just a supporter. In year two, he became coach, and he’s still there and proving that he knows what he’s talking about. Browne said the Oilers were lacking in intensity last week, but he has no doubt they’ll lift today. He said their draw with the Cowboys last weekend brought the Cowboys back down to earth after they’d put 70-plus points

So he knows the Cowboys will be wary of the Oilers. “They know that we are the team to beat because we haven’t lost this year, and they haven’t lost this year, and they know what kind of game we bring,” Browne said. “I think they know that we have something to bring, and something to offer.” Among those cheering the Oilers on from the sidelines today will be members of the team they
beat to earn their place in today’s final, the Ashburton Barbarians. After last weekend’s semi-final loss, Barbarians coach Steve Gamble said his side was planning a trip south to cheer the Oilers on, in the hope that the trophy would call Mid Canterbury home for the second year running. “We will be down there rooting for the Oilers to take out a good win and I think they have got the team to win it,” Gamble said. For the man behind the formation of the Oilers, Glenn Jamie-
son, the success of the side this season has been incredible, although he only saw the first two games before heading to Nigeria to help run a rugby league tournament there. “The first season left us a bit drained. We struggled to get buyin to the Chertsey Oilers from the community and even players, other than a small core of people, but this year has been different,” Jamieson said. “The local community has been fantastic in their support,

the Rakaia Rugby Club has been amazing, reaching out to host and help us where they can, and the players have created a real culture within the club which I believe is driving the success.” Today’s final between the Chertsey Oilers and the Country Cowboys will be played at 12.30pm at Timaru’s Alpine Energy Stadium, as the curtain-raiser to South Canterbury’s final round Heartland Championship rugby match against West Coast. Admission is free before half-time.
■■ HOCKEY
Collier girls looking for strong finish to tournament Mid Canterbury’s girls did something no other team had managed to do in the national Collier Trophy primary hockey tournament on Thursday. They managed to turn a halftime deficit into a well-deserved victory in a spirited match against their neighbours South Canterbury, coming back from
2-1 down to win 3-2. The Mid Canterbury girls are playing off in the bottom section of the tournament in Wellington, where the 17th-place trophy became their goal after finishing with just one win to their names at the end of pool play. They beat Thames Valley in pool play, but went down to the
other four North Island teams in their pool, including Northland and Hawke’s Bay, who have gone on to make the tournament’s semi-finals – an indication of how tough Mid Canterbury’s pool was. Mid Canterbury found themselves in the bottom section, along with South Island mates
South Canterbury, Eastern Southland and Invercargill, and yesterday morning they followed up their win over South Canterbury with a 5-0 win over Invercargill. Meanwhile, at the boys’ tournament in Palmerston North – the Hatch Cup – Mid Canterbury were unable to pick up a win in
pool play, but managed a draw with Counties Manukau. In their first game post-pool play they took on Wairarapa and went down 3-1, and in their latest game yesterday the Mid Canterbury’s boys took on Wanganui and came away with a 6-0 loss. Both tournaments will wrap up today.

■■ METHVEN TROTS
Heading into the abyss By Matt Markham
matt.m@theguardian.co.nz
You won’t find too many trainers using a $30,000 Group Three feature as a yardstick to get a line on exactly where their horse is at, but that’s the situation Nigel McGrath has found himself in heading into tomorrow’s Methven Cup. McGrath, who is never shy of a having a good horse or two in his barn, thinks he might potentially have a very good one in up-and-coming pacer, Gran Chico – but the only way to know if you’re actually going to be capable beating in the best is to find out against the best. So that’s what he’s doing. Having just his 13th race day appearance, Gran Chico will tomorrow take a step into the abyss when he tackles the Methven feature up against Group One winners including defending New Zealand Trotting Cup champion, Thefixer. “We’re going to find out pretty quickly,” McGrath said yesterday. “I think I know how good he is, but until you get into those types of races up against those really good horses you just don’t know. “I’ve gone into races before thinking I’m unbeatable and gone home with my tail between my legs.” A winner fresh-up in stunning fashion last week at Addington, Gran Chico, to be fair, has always looked above average and his run for second behind Jesse Duke on Harness Jewels day earlier this year was one of the performances of the season. But Methven is a whole new ball game. It’s a grass track, it’s a standing start and it’s a new challenge. “I’m not worried to be honest, we took him out to Motukarara today (Friday) and gave him a bowl around behind a galloping pacemaker and he was perfect. “He’s a pretty sensible sort of horse, just a big lump of a dude, but the stand shouldn’t worry him too much.” The cause is helped significantly by the fact that Blair Orange will be doing the steering.

New Zealand’s leading reinsman, Orange is driving as good as ever currently and gives all his drives an extra edge when they step onto the track. Safely through tomorrow’s assignment, McGrath is plotting a path to the second Tuesday in November and the New Zealand Trotting Cup. But there’s a bit of water to go under the bridge still if he is to take his part. “I’m going to leave him in the mix, we’ll go this weekend and then he can most likely head to Ashburton for the Flying Stakes. “As long as he doesn’t get left behind there (Ashburton), then we’ll press forward to the Cup I think. “If things don’t go well then we might look at turning attention to next year, but I’m reasonably confident he’ll be competitive.” While Gran Chico offers up the unknown quantity of the Methven Cup field for tomorrow, there’s some pretty well-knowns set to take their place too. Thefixer is joined by stablemates Chase Auckland and Ashley Locaz, giving the All Stars stable a really strong chance of winning their seventh edition of the race in the past 10 years. The local hopes look to be pinned firmly
on Ricky May, who takes the reins on the Paul Court trained Hail Christian in the 3000-metre staying test. McGrath will put three other horses on the float with Gran Chico on Sunday, Duke, Adhika and He’s A Ladies Man. He said they were all outside chances of success if they managed to get a bit of luck. Matt Markham’s Methven Selections Race 1: The Guild, Beau Major, El Chapo, Tiger Moth Race 2: Madam Sass, Superfast Lad, Dudes Star, Steel Dust Race 3: Tiz A Sizzler, Adhika, Prodigal Guinness, Glenledi Bandit Race 4: Just Michael, Where’s Daddy, Laver, Manly Olsen Race 5: Ardee Trouble, Rebel Kibbybones, Momentous, Foreigner Race 6: Franco Garrett, That Alexander Guy, Sweeney Todd, Markham Eyre Race 7: Essence Of Easton, Yorkshire, Standout, Overarem Race 8: Chiller Bay, Iknow, Unico Legend, Shadow Minister Race 9: Gran Chico, Thefixer, Ashley Locaz, Chase Auckland Race 10: Girls Let Loose, Renezmae, Missie Castleton, We’ll Meet Again Race 11: Can I Be Me, Rake, Bush Man, Somekindawonderful BEST: Franco Garrett (Race 6) VALUE: Chiller Bay (Race 8)
■■PUNTER OF THE YEAR
Punters Challenge set to be tough There’s $4000 up for grabs at tomorrow’s Methven Trotting Club meeting for the annual Brown Pub Punter of the Year competition. With an $800 buy-in and eight races to punt on, it’s not for the faint-hearted, especially on the punter-unfriendly grass track. Guardian editor Matt Markham has put his tipping hat on and spends $100 a race trying to find the right recipe to get over the line first in the hotly-contested competition. Race 4: $50 each way #13 Just Michael Massive run after missing the start two weeks ago. Mobile here will help that. Can win for Jimmy Hooper and Leo O’Reilly. Race 5: $100 to place #5 Momentous Grass track toff who doesn’t know how to run a bad race. Will land on the speed and give them all plenty to think about. Race 6: $100 to win #11 Franco Garrett Four big runs to open the career. Rough and robust pacer who will put them to the sword today and should win. Race 7: $50 each way #12 Essence Of Easton Another with a love of the grass tracks. Big field but in form and Ricky May knows how to win on his home track. Race 8: $50 each way #14 Chiller Bay Loves this track and a speed merchant when saved for one run. Could blow them off the track if close enough. Race 9: $100 to win #8 Thefixer Defending Cup champion back in the mix for the new season. Will relish the grass and should be hard to roll, even off the 30m. Race 10: $50 each way #14 Girls Let Loose Has the ability, but mistakes in last couple. Grass might work in favour and hard to roll if handy to the speed. Race 11: $100 to place #2 Rake In great form at the moment and good enough to measure up to this field. Can plot a nice path from the draw.

SITUATIONS VACANT
Practice Nurse
Strong side to defend Shield Canterbury Head Coach Joe Maddock has made minimal changes to his side for their final Mitre 10 Cup regular season match against North Harbour tomorrow. The starting forward pack is unchanged from last weekend’s successful Ranfurly Shield challenge against Otago, while the only change in the backline sees Braydon Ennor return from a knee injury to line up in the midfield. Ennor’s return means Ngane Punivai moves back out to the left wing, in place of Sam Gilbert. On the bench, Inga Finau will wear the number 23 jersey this week, having recovered from the concussion he sustained against Counties Manukau in week eight. Tomorrow’s match at home follows the Canterbury Women’s Farah Palmer Cup clash against Bay of Plenty, and will be the last Ranfurly Shield challenge of 2019. Canterbury and North Harbour currently sit third and fourth on the Premiership table with this being the final round

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker
Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Attention is a powerful gift to bestow, for better or worse. Fighting against a thing is a form of attention; you may as well be feeding the thing. Continue to fight and it will get bigger for sure. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): The highlight of the day involves a dynamic journey between knowledge and understanding. You’ll get the opportunity to experience real-life scenarios that help you to grasp concepts on a deeper level. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Your energy is less finite than you thought. There are things that should logically take lots of concentration to complete but that somehow wind up putting you in an energy overflow instead of draining you. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): There’s a link between honesty and inspiration. It’s like the truth unlocks something in you. After that unlocking, the energy flows freely and the creativity is there to use however you wish. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You will find it is easier to think of others than to remember your own needs. Maybe it’s because they are being more vocal than you. Talk to yourself, or write down your needs as they come to mind. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Approaching people takes nerve. Even people you know can be hard to work up the courage to talk to depending on the difficulty of the subject. You try to make others feel at ease when they call. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’re not really looking for validation, but when people give it to you it’s reassuring. It’s why you offer a little something extra to others. It fosters a sense of belonging. Things are just nicer this way. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You are the rightful owner of all that is yours. The trick is in figuring out territorial boundaries, which are mostly invisible. You’ll know when a line as been crossed because you’ll feel it in your gut. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): If you have been doing more taking, find a way to give back, most obviously by listening. Likewise, if you have been doing more giving, then be sure to take. Keep the exchange balanced. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Apologies can be a form of intimacy. Some people find them difficult to give, and others give them so often that the apology has very little value. That’s the way it goes when things come in abundance. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Who gets to choose the pizza toppings? If it’s always the same person, change it up. This will be good for everyone, a relationship is only as healthy as it is equal. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Though good times bring people together, work brings people even closer. The stakes are higher when sweat is involved. The harder something is, the more of yourself you have to bring to it.
