When Neil Brown woke up on Sunday morning, the reality of his new life hit him, fair between the eyes. Saturday morning he was Neil Brown, Joe Citizen; Saturday afternoon he became Neil Brown Ashburton District mayor elect. His phone rang red hot, friends and family called to celebrate, but it wasn’t until the next morning the impact of the new job hit home. Yesterday was one of reflection, of looking at the way his life would change and looking at the challenges ahead. He’s optimistic, more than optimistic about the future, saying voters had elected a solid team of councillors, a team he was keen to work with. With 15 years as a councillor behind him, the last three as deputy mayor, Brown said he had the advantage of plenty of local government experience, but he knows his life is about to get a

whole lot busier. “The mayor is a lot more in the public eye, where as, as a councillor you’re there getting on with the work. Now I’ll be out front leading and directing but this will be a team, not just one person.” He’s very clear that every mayor’s style is different. His will be inclusive and it will be about sharing the workload between councillors. With just nine around the table this coming term rather than 12, there will be no room for passengers, he said. “It’s important for all councillors to have a good relationship with the mayor and with each other and it’s important we keep an open mind on issues.” There are critical issues he will be working had to see if not resolved, then progressed. “We need to sort the water issue out. This district is blessed with plenty of water and we all need to be able to use it. It’s the lifeblood of the district. It’s a

huge issue, especially with the freshwater plan out there. As a council we need to advocate to central government, that’s our role.” Within the district the council had a lot of consented water as stockwater, but more efficient use of this water meant there were surpluses that should be used on other projects, he said. Also high on his list is getting rural and town residents on the same page, looking at the future from the same direction. “And to be fair, we’re not too far away from that now,” he said. His first job will be to meet with councillors, talk about their interests, the areas they would like to be involved. From there he’ll allocate portfolio and specific roles. Among those will be the all important job of deputy mayor.

■■ LOCAL BODY ELECTIONS

Favel looks to the future By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

She might have lost the mayoralty race, but Donna Favel says she knows she gave her three-year tenure in the district’s top job her best shot – and then some. Receiving the news that her time as mayor was over wasn’t easy, but Favel said she was comfortable with the voters’ decision. “I’m still relatively young and there are new chapters to write in my life. I’ll be stopping and taking time, taking a breath.” Months out from the election she indicated she was not definitely seeking re-election. “I was really torn before the election on putting my name in. There was a lot of my life I was missing and my health hasn’t been the best so I’m glad I now have the time to fix that,” she said. Reflecting on her time as mayor, Favel said it had been a term where the council had worked through a number of obstacles and where it had faced a number of distractions. “But I’m really pleased that we got runs on the board. We were starting to gain traction.” Under her tenure, Favel said she had taken the council in a different and more empathetic direction that perhaps not everyone had liked. Taking into account her two terms as a councillor and one as mayor, she said she had given nine years to the council and

Donna Favel in some ways there was a genuine sense of relief at being able to step back and to think about where to now. “After nine years I know I have done my best. I was always honest, even if I was not always right and I’ve tried to lift the inclusiveness of council and its transpar-

ency. I’ve worked hard and as a council we’ve achieved a lot in the past three years.” At this stage Favel is pretty clear she won’t be making a bid to return to local body body politics in 2022. “At this stage I’ll be closing that chapter. It’s been a blast but it’s

been nine years out of my life and over the past three of those I’ve worked very, very hard. Now my life is an open book.” Tony Todd was also a mayoral contender and received the second highest vote count, just 600 behind winner Neil Brown. He was philosophical about the result. “I always said you have to accept the democratic process. Yes, everyone likes to win but I gave it my best shot.” He was prompted to stand for mayor after leading a community campaign opposing the closure of Ashburton’s information centre. “People said I should give it a go so I put my hand up and gave it a shot. I accept the voters’ decision and really appreciate the support I’ve been given.” He suggests he’s unlikely to make a bid for the mayoralty in 2022. The fourth person standing for the mayoralty was Leen Braam, who also stood as an urban ward candidate. He finished fourth in the mayoralty race but topped the polls as a councillor. “I have no problem whatsoever with missing out,” he said. “I’m happy with the team and am rapt that I back as a councillor.” He said he was happy to throw his support behind Brown as mayor. “I’m looking forward to working with him. We’ve got a darned good team.”

Mackenzie tops ECan poll Ian Mackenzie

Eiffelton farmer Ian Mackenzie came out top of the list when the votes were counted for seats around the Environment Canterbury meeting table for the Mid Canterbury/Opakihi regional constituency. The pair were among four candidates seeking the two constit-

uency seats at this year’s local body elections, with Sarah Walters and Allen Lim receiving 9882 and 9717 votes respectively. Other Environment Canterbury seats were won by: South Canterbury – Elizabeth McKenzie and Peter Scott;

Christchurch South, Vicky Southworth and Phil Clearwater; North Canterbury, Claire McKay and Grant Edge; Christchurch west, Megan Hands and Craig Pauling; Christchurch north east, Jenny Hugey and Tane Apanui; Christchurch Central, Lan Pham and Nicole Marshall.

Four new council faces

Rodger Letham By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

There will be four new faces around the Ashburton District board table when the first meeting of the new council term is held later this month. John Falloon, Carolyn Cameron and Rodger Letham will be among the nine elected members along with ex-mayor Angus McKay, who will join new mayor Neil Brown, to run the district for the next three years. One of those, western ward councillor Letham, however, will be watching the final vote count with a little anxiety as he is just 14 votes ahead of next highest polling candidate Evan Chisnall. Sitting councillor Liz McMillan was the clear leader for the two seats available in this ward. Letham said he is not concerned that his lead could be overtaken when the final vote

count is posted later this week, rather he is looking forward to getting on with his new job. “I’ve been critical of the past council and I’ve fired a few shots across their bow so I felt it was a bit cowardly to stay outside the tent and not do anything,” he said. He’s now just keen to get on with learning the ropes, suggesting the induction process will be a bit like starting school. Cameron, Falloon and McKay join re-elected councillors Diane Rawlinson and Leen Braam as the five urban ward councillors. Falloon, an accountant, said he was relishing the opportunity to utilise his financial and business experience for the benefit of the district. “As I’ve said throughout the campaign, the Ashburton District faces some important decisions on investment in infra-

structure. We need to prioritise fit-for-purpose water and wastewater systems, and a robust local roading network,” he said. Cameron said she was grateful for the strong support voters had shown and their belief in her as a candidate. “I know I’ve got a lot of work to do but I have read about and been interested in local body politics for a long time. I understand the general issues but clearly I’m not up to speed with all the ins and out,” she said. Her commitment would be to doing what was right for the district not necessarily what was convenient. “You’re only one vote but you need to try to always do what’s best for the district and I’ll do that to the best of my ability.” McKay made no bones about his pleasure in winning a seat around the council table.

“It’s great to be back and I’ve kept well abreast of issues over the past three years,” he said. There were several decisions the council had made over the last three years that he was not comfortable with that cemented his decision to seek a council seat, he said. “I looked at it and through how can I help fix this.” Sitting councillors Lynette Lovett and Stuart Wilson won the two eastern ward seats to complete the nine-councillor line-up. This is the first election where there are nine rather than 12 elected members of council. Two sitting urban councillors Selwyn Price and Thelma Bell both sought re-election, but neither was successful. Last term councillors who did not seek re-election were Russell Ellis, Peter Reveley and Alasdair Urquhart.

New mayor to lead Ashburton District From P1 Brown admits he has some thoughts on that one, but he’s not yet ready to share. Now he’s just keen to get out and get on with the job. And he’s in no doubt about the importance of that job. “It’s a privilege and an honour, a big honour when 4418 people tick the box for you.”

Brown’s wife Judy is 100 per cent behind him in his new role. “I’m very proud of him. He’s done his apprenticeship and he’s got great commonsense, that’s important,” she said. There’s never any sharing of council business between the two. “When council papers arrive I leave them unopened on the table. We’ve always had that rule I

don’t touch council papers and I don’t touch his office desk.” And when he returns from a council meeting she doesn’t need to ask how things went – if it’s been a good day he’ll flop into a chair and read the paper; if it’s been a tough one, he heads out onto the farm to blow off steam. His children Hayden, Sarah and Mikayla were with him on

Saturday to celebrate and to share his relief that the campaign was over and the position won. It was like a huge weight had lifted off his shoulders, he said. With 4418 votes, Brown defeated sitting mayor Donna Favel (2384 votes) and challenges from two other candidates Tony Todd (3731) and Leen Braam (1422) to win.

New CDHB members The seven elected members of the Canterbury District Health Board for the next three years are: Sally Buck, James Gough, Jo Kane, Naomi Marshall, Aaron Keown, Catherine Chu and Andrew Dickerson. They were among 23 candidates standing at this year’s local body elections.

Chantelle Quinn

One new face around trust table There will be just one new face around the Ashburton Trust board table following Saturday’s local body elections as one woman replaces another. Board chair Fay Watson was the only one of the six trust board members not seeking re-election, with Chris Robertson, Tim Silva, Roger Paterson, Rob Harnett and Kieran Breakwell all putting their names forward for another term. They were joined by four challengers, Chantelle Quinn, Kerry Clough, Ash Shah and Mark Malcolm. The five sitting councillors all retained their seats and will be joined by Quinn, who polled second highest behind long-serving board member Paterson. Quinn is an Ashburton business woman who runs Twentyfour Catering Co and was previously owner and head chef at Twelve Restaurant and Bar.

■■HAKATERE HOPE WALK

Wearing yellow and walking for hope By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Leon and Liz Heripo know only too well the pain of losing a child to suicide, they understand the yawning gap that’s left in your life and the unending search for answers. Their 15-year-old daughter Te Aroha Leigh died four years ago and while the pain is still raw today, they are using their experience to help others travelling the same journey. Yesterday they were the instigators of Ashburton’s first Hakatere Hope March for people whose lives had been touched by suicide or who wanted to support others who had. It was not just about their family, it was about everyone involved and their own personal stories, Leon said. When Te Aroha died as a family they were lost and felt cut adrift, he said. “We found it so hard to talk when we lost our girl. It’s the old cliche, just brush it under the carpet, put a couple of band aids on it,” he said. The had to reach out to find the support they needed, to find the people who could help them deal with their loss. “It’s a forever thing losing our

child. It’s been hard, it’s always raw. This is a walk for everyone. For the girls who were her friends and for the other families who have lost someone to suicide,” Leon said. The question of why Te Aroha took her own life is one that will always be in her family’s minds. “That day was just a normal day for us. She came home from school, got out of her uniform and was singing in her room. She went out and said ‘see you in an hour dad’. That was the last time we saw her alive,” he said. Life is tough for teenagers who take to heart so much that is said on said by their friends and strangers, Leon said. “It’s really taken its toll on us and from our hearts we feel that we didn’t keep her safe. But there is a darkness there that got hold of her.” Yesterday’s walk was part of a network of similar walks that are taken across New Zealand each year to support people whose lives have been affected by suicide. Wearing their bright yellow hope tee shirts, marchers created a solid wave of colour as they walked along East Street to the overhead bridge and then back along West Street.

■■ ASHBURTON MSA

Art deco frontage to disappear By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

An architectural icon that has fronted Ashburton’s Burnett Street for decades is about to disappear. The rounded art deco structure that forms part of the Ashburton MSA frontage is about to meet its fate – a date with a wrecking ball. Its demolition is just one more step in a project that will see the MSA’s offices, meeting rooms and restaurant demolished and rebuilt, completing a building project that started decades ago with the replacement of the Havelock end of the building. The demolition has seen manager Simon McDonnell move out of his office and into an area previously used as a TAB and it has also seen the closure of the club’s restaurant. This is planned to reopen towards the end of next year on the ground floor of the new building. In the interim there will be pared back meal options available in the bar areas. The club’s billiard room will disappear as part of the demolition and until a new room opens on the second level next year. Social pool matches will be available on tables in the bar areas. Demolition work is pretty much on target, McDonnell said he anticipates there will be a clear site, ready for foundations to be excavated in about two weeks. The roof is currently being removed from the art deco frontage and he anticipates this will be demolished next week. Right - Demolition work is well under way on Ashburton’s MSA building on Burnett Street in a project that will see new office space and a ground level restaurant added to the club premises.

■■ WATER QUALITY

Farmers making progress By Linda Clarke

linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury farmers are already making good progress to reducing nitrates in groundwater, they just need time for that work to show in water quality monitoring, says retired Ashburton hydrologist John Waugh. Waugh is a long-time member of the Ashburton Water Zone Committee, as well as a member of the national hydrological society and Forest and Bird. He said the district’s high nitrate problem had developed over 50 years and it would take the same amount of time to re-

verse. He said farmers worried about Government’s current freshwater proposals should remember they were already on the journey and make submissions about needing reasonable time to reach the proposed new bottom lines for water quality. The Ashburton, Rakaia and Rangitata Rivers already meet one of the nitrate measures being proposed. But spring-fed drains closer the coast do not and some are at 6.9mg/l, about half the maximum acceptable health value for humans. Waugh said previous Governments had come to similar

conclusions about water quality limits but nothing had been legislated, despite public surveys always showing concern about the health of waterways. He said in Mid Canterbury a general improvement in nitrate levels in groundwater had been noted, the result of changing practices by farmers and the Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) programme, which introduces surface water to deep water at infiltration points around the district. Environment Canterbury rules regarding nitrate leaching are already enshrined in compulsory

farm environment plans and good irrigation practice. Waugh said farmers were understandably frustrated that Government was proposing freshwater rules over the top of their current work, but the crucial detail in the legislation would be around when farmers had to meet the limits. The proposals say regional councils have to have rules giving effect to the new national policy statement by 2025. “You can’t argue about how long it will take to do it. It is not something you can turn around tomorrow.”

In brief Labour takes a hit The Labour Party has plummeted in the most recent NewshubReid poll, dropping almost 10 percentage points and now sits behind National. Labour polled at 41.6 per cent, falling 9.2 percentage points compared to the last poll. Meanwhile, National is up 6.5 per cent to 43.9. And, to make matters worse for Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, her personal popularity has taken a big hit. The poll shows Ardern has dropped 10.6 percentage points to 38.4 per cent in the preferred Prime Minister ranking. Despite the drop, Ardern is still well ahead of National Leader Simon Bridges on ranking – he jumped 2.5 percentage points to 6.7 per cent. - NZME

Mealamu’s new job All Black great Keven Mealamu has a new job in local politics. He’s romped on to Auckland’s Papakura Local Board, receiving 5388 of the votes, well ahead of secondplace candidate Brent Catchpole on 4653 votes. Mealamu says he’s always wanted to represent the community. “We live in the area, we have a local business in the area as well, and I’ve always wanted to be part of what our future looks like, especially if our kids are walking those streets as well.” While local boards are often a training ground for MPs, Mealamu currently has no plans to run for Government. - NZME

Plane lands safely

Inland Scenic Route under repair Work has started to rehabilitate a 2.2km section of Arundel Rakaia Gorge Road (Inland Scenic Route), outside Mayfield. Ashburton Contracting Limited (ACL) working on behalf of the Ashburton District Council, are overlaying the road from the outskirts south of Mayfield to Watts Road. An overlay is a type of road rehabilitation where sections of weak road pavement are dug out and an overlay of strong gravel is applied to the road before being sealed. The project is expected to be completed in early December. A 30km/h speed restriction is in place for the roadworks. Drivers are advised to travel with care. PHOTO ADC

■■ 50 PLUS CONNEXION SHOWCASE

Showcase aims to rev up retirement years By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

If you’re 50 plus, retired, or thinking about retirement, finding activities that are fulfilling is likely to make those freedom years much more satisfying, says health worker Brenna Russell. And next week there will be an opportunity to look at a range of recreational options available to retirees in the Ashburton District at a 50 plus Connexion Showcase. The event has been created by several organisations working in the health and aged care sector and will bring together a wide range of groups and activities that could open new doors to people wanting to socialise and

be active in their retirement. Russell, a practice support navigator with Waitaha Primary Health, said the key focus was about helping people over 50 create social connections in their community. “People in the groups working with older people in Ashburton have noticed that for some there is a lack of social connection so we’re bringing a wide range of groups and activities together in one place to show people what is available,” she said. Those groups include sport, arts and crafts, social and special interest groups and there will be people with each display happy to chat about what’s on offer, Russell said.

There had been a really positive response from the groups invited to be part of the showcase with many committing to setting up displays and some taking the opportunity to showcase what they offered in presentations. Among those making presentations will be Timebank, Tai Chi, EA Networks and a group offering guided overseas travel groups out of Christchurch. “This is a great opportunity for people to see what’s available to enrich their lives. I’m really amazed at what’s here in Ashburton, there’s such a broad range of things that people can get involved in,” she said. While the event was tagged 50 plus, it was for anyone who look-

ing for groups and activities that would increase their social interaction, Russell said. “It’s absolutely free, people can turn up whenever they want, it’s an event that’s about showing people what’s available in their own community.” There will also be giveaways and food and beverages available. The event is fully funded by Advance Ashburton and supported by Presbyterian Support, the Rural Support Trust, Community House, Senior Citizens and Aged Concern. The showcase will run in the Ashburton Trust Event Centre from 4pm to 8pm on Wednesday, October 16.

A plane has managed to land safely at Auckland International Airport after it reported one of its engines failed. Northern fire communications shift manager Colin Underwood said they received a report at 1.32pm yesterday that one of the plane’s engines had failed. It resulted in a full-scale emergency which included 14 fire engines responding from around the region. However, as some crews still made their way to the scene, they were informed the plane had landed safely, and on time, at 1.45pm. - NZME

Wellington mayor Wellington’s new mayor is on a mission for “quick wins” with a clear mood for change in the country’s capital city. Andy Foster has secured the city’s top job by a margin of 503 votes, according to preliminary results released yesterday after a nail-biting wait. The $6.4b Let’s Get Wellington Moving plan will be a priority for Foster after campaigning on getting a new deal with the Government to bring forward construction of a second Mt Victoria tunnel. This despite Transport Minister Phil Twyford having already drawn a clear line in the sand that he expects mass rapid transit to be delivered ahead of roading projects. - NZME

OUR VIEW

Election done and dusted, a new era begins I

nevitably local body elections are divided neatly in two parts – winners and losers. But what that division doesn’t really show are the people, the stories and the lives behind the numbers and the impact an election outcome has on those lives. For several weeks New Zealand has been in election mode. Candidates for mayoralties, councils and boards have been walking the walk, talking the talk, hoping to convince people to cast a vote in their favour. During that time they’ve become public property. Their personalities, their attributes and their weaknesses have been publicly debated. That’s all come to an end and in our district there are 16 people who will be feeling pretty pleased

with themselves today. But there will also be another 12 who will be feeling absolutely flat and pretty deflated. Those 12 have given the election their best shot but clearly that best shot wasn’t good enough, but without those who miss the cut there could not be winners. And while we celebrate success, we need to spare a thought for those for whom the election didn’t quite go the way

they wanted. Unfortunately among those were three who have not just lost an election but who have also lost a seat around the Ashburton District Council board table. Key among those is ex-mayor Donna Favel. She’s led the district for the past three years and she’s been a mayor who has been outside the traditional mould. Favel has been the mayor who took the district on a different journey, one that ventured into social services and bio diversity, areas not traditionally high on a council’s list. And we’re richer for this. In addition she was the most visible mayor we’ve had. Her attendance at public events was phenomenally high and she’s

been active at a national level raising the district’s profile. Favel’s style, however, was one that did not prove a winner with voters. When given a choice of four mayoral candidates, they didn’t rate her highly and for someone who has poured bucket loads of energy into the job, that must have been a bitter pill to swallow. She wasn’t alone in looking to a future where council activities no longer figure. Two first-term councillors, Selwyn Price and Thelma Bell, also missed the cut. The loss of Price, along with Russell Ellis who was disqualified from standing because of a nomination form error, and retiring councillor Peter Reveley, will see the council without three of its

strongest questioners. On the flip side, the team that’s won the voters’ hearts and minds looks incredibly solid. With long-serving councillor Neil Brown at the helm, it’s a council team that comes with capability in spades.It promises a lot. As a community we’ve done our bit. We’ve cast our votes, the votes have been counted and the new teams across council, ECan and the Ashburton Trust are known. It’s now up to the members of those new boards to show us we got it right, that they will live up to the commitments they made as candidates. If they don’t, the final say will be ours when we get to be judge and jury in three years’ time.

In 2003, John Allen Muhammad pleaded not guilty to murder as the first trial in the deadly Washington-area sniper rampage got under way in Virginia Beach, Virginia. (Muhammad was later convicted of killing Dean Harold Meyers and executed in 2009.) In 2017, a truck bombing in Somalia’s capital killed more than 500 people in one of the world’s deadliest attacks in years; officials blamed the attack on the extremist group al-Shabab and said it was meant to target Mogadishu’s international airport, but the bomb detonated in a crowded street after soldiers

opened fire. Ten years ago: The Unification Church held the largest mass wedding in a decade, with some 40,000 people participating in dozens of cities around the world. Five years ago: After a conspicuous public absence of nearly six weeks, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appeared in images released by state media attending a pair of events, dispelling rumours that he was gravely ill, deposed — or worse. One year ago: Pope Francis made saints of Pope Paul VI and Salvadoran Archbishop

Oscar Romero, praising them as prophets who shunned wealth and looked out for the poor. Today’s birthdays: Classical pianist Gary Graffman is 91. Movie director Carroll Ballard is 82.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Monday, October 14, the 287th day of 2019. There are 78 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On October 14, 1947, U.S. Air Force Capt. Charles E. (“Chuck”) Yeager became the first test pilot to break the sound barrier as he flew the experimental Bell XS-1 (later X-1) rocket plane over Muroc Dry Lake in California. On this date: In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt, campaigning for the presidency, was shot in the chest in Milwaukee. Despite the wound, he went ahead with a scheduled speech. In 1933, Nazi Germany announced it was withdrawing from the League of Nations. In 1939, a German U-boat torpedoed and sank the HMS Royal Oak, a British battleship anchored at Scapa Flow in Scotland’s Orkney Islands; 833 of the more than 1,200 men aboard were killed. In 1960, the idea of a Peace Corps was suggested by Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy to an audience of students at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. In 1964, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was named winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1968, the first successful live telecast from a manned US spacecraft was transmitted from Apollo 7. In 1981, the new president of Egypt, Hosni Mubara, was sworn in to succeed the assassinated Anwar Sadat. In 1987, a 58-hour drama began in Midland, Texas, as 18-month-old Jessica McClure slid 22 feet down a narrow abandoned well at a private day care centre; she was rescued on October 16. In 2001, as US jets opened a second week of raids in Afghanistan, President George W. Bush sternly rejected a Taliban offer to discuss handing over Osama bin Laden to a third country.

Gang numbers concerning G

ang membership is growing rapidly with a 26 per cent increase in patched and prospect gang members since the current Government took office. This is concerning for a number of reasons. Gangs are known to be heavily involved in the manufacture and supply of illegal drugs and Police Minister Stuart Nash has admitted that the huge profits which can be made from methamphetamine are a contributing factor to rising gang numbers. Despite this, the number of gang members being charged for drugs has hardly increased to keep pace with gang drug crimes and the meth supply is so abundant that prices are tracking down around the country. Now more than ever, the Government should be focused on ensuring there are enough police officers to stop criminals offending. However, the Government is no closer to achieving its promise of 1800 extra police on

the beat. Figures show the Government has added only 747 new police officers over the past two years and has no chance of reaching the target of 1800 extra officers by July 2020 that they promised they would achieve. Minister Nash even attempted to blame criminals who had been deported from Australia for a massive increase in gang numbers, then admitted only 22 of them are gang affiliated. This is a Government that has brought in drug decriminalisation by stealth and is determined to lower the prison population but does not have a plan to reduce crime. Fortunately, however, the

Police Minister has changed his mind about National’s proposal for including Firearm Prohibition Orders (FPOs) in new gun laws, and has agreed to take this proposal to Cabinet. National campaigned on introducing FPOs in 2017, and we had a Bill before Parliament last year that the Government voted down. We also included FPOs in our proposed 13 changes to the Government’s gun law reforms, but again it was not picked up by the Government. FPOs give police more powers to search and take firearms off gang members. They apply to the most dangerous gang offenders who have convictions for firearms offences or serious violence. When police have reason to believe an FPO has been breached or an offence has occurred, they will be able to search the gang member, their vehicles or premises to look for illegal firearms. Gangs have publicly said

they won’t hand in their illegal firearms, showing why FPOs are needed. We’re reaching out to the Government to ensure that FPOs become law so let’s hope Cabinet does the right thing and agrees to support this Bill. Gangs do nothing but peddle misery and create more victims. This is just one way we can crack down on gangs, and ensure New Zealanders’ safety. An increase in gang membership means an increase in crime in our communities and more victims. This is why National does not apologise for cracking down on gang activity and we will release a comprehensive Gang Plan in 2020 to show how we believe this should be done.

Rodin’s Eve bedazzling the locals By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

French artist Auguste Rodin was a sculptor of superstars in his time. Living from 1840 to 1917, Rodin portrayed modern dancer Isadora Duncan, President Georges Clemenceau, and playwright and social critic George Bernard Shaw. Mid Cantabrians are currently enjoying seeing New Zealand’s most significant Rodin sculpture, Eve, at the Ashburton Art Gallery. The exhibition is at Remembering Rodin/Te Whakamahara ki a Rodin, developed and toured by Te Papa. Business and communications assistant Martine Tait said locals had been eager to catch a glimpse of the remarkable work. “Most visitors have commented on how rare and special it is for a Rodin sculpture

to be in their local art gallery,” Tait said. She was looking forward to seeing how the community responded to the public programme relating to Remembering Rodin, where visitors could drop in and spend their lunchtime learning how to sculpt the human form. From midday to 2pm on November 4 to 15 there will be guided lunchtime sessions, in conjunction with which visitors will be invited to sculpt a figure inspired by Eve. Eve relates to Rodin’s famous masterwork, The Gates of Hell. The female figure hunched in despair after her expulsion from paradise is said to be a beautiful image, but also tragic, melancholic and timeless. The exhibition also included a lithographic portrait of Rodin and a rare leather bound edition of hand-tipped photographs.

Hanging ten in Haleiwa

With so many arresting sights and roadside stands selling all sorts of tropical fruit, a self-drive holiday is certainly the way to go.

opted to meander back to Honolulu Airport, at the end of my trip, along the lush Windward Coast, through sleepy hamlets with roadside stands selling succulent mangoes, bright tropical pareu, fresh corn, and pond-raised prawns. The route offers the most arresting vistas of those emerald-hued volcanic ranges, with their strikingly corrugated folds

For the complete town and country experience on Oahu, grab a rental, hit the road and hang ten in Haleiwa, the North Shore gateway. Getting there is half the fun, because you have two wildly distinct choices, writes Mike Yardley. of Jurassic Park fame. Huddled at its base is the famed movie-set location of Kualoa Ranch. But when you’re first heading to the North Shore, take the

Central Oahu route via H2. The red-earthed heart of the island is a broad and fertile valley, where pineapple and sugar-canes march their way to the Waianae

Turtle Bay Resort, a staggering retreat where the ferociously pounding waves theatrically break on either side of the hotel, perched on Kuilima Point.

Mountains. How could you possibly pass the Dole Pineapple Plantation without devouring a scoop or two of Dole Whip? This pineapple-infused soft-serve delight is just the first of many signature tastes that radiantly embodies the sensory allure of North Oahu. I dropped by early morning, sans the crowds, downing my Dole Whip while gazing at the Pineapple Express locomotive, which heartily blew its whistle to herald the start of the new day’s service. It’s just 10 minutes drive from Dole Plantation to Haleiwa, Hawaii’s surf city. This quaint and rustic sugar-plantation town now enjoys historic protection. Its ensemble of faded clapboard stores, strung around a picturesque harbour, sets the stage for the surfie crowd, who flock here from all over the planet. Haleiwa is their holy-grail, a surf mecca, groaning with raffishly charming roadside surfie stores, boutique galleries and eateries. But the most compelling mercantile landmark would have to be Surf N Sea, where its vintage architecture pays homage to its legacy. Originally, the century-old

beachfront building was a train station with accommodation upstairs. The Haleiwa Hotel was Hawaii’s first destination resort, before morphing into a general store after World War Two. Since 1965, it’s been home to Surf N Sea, Hawaii’s oldest surf and dive shop. Joe Green has been the ebullient owner for the past 35 years and warmly welcomed me into his part-shop, part-ocean sports shrine, brimming with over 300 surfboards and every imaginable surf brand. Feasting my eyes on all of the surf memorabilia, it’s no wonder many surfies consider this place museum-worthy. The rustic ceilings and walls hold Green’s personal collection of vintage surfboards, including the Duke’s final fibreglass board from 1968. Joe is also a master ukulele-maker, all handmade from 100 per cent recycled wood, including mango, koa and opuma. Joe salvaged and reshaped ipe wood from the building’s floors, which he has repurposed into the fret board bridges adorning all of his ukuleles. Impeccably designed, they’re an incomparable buy – an authentic slice of Haleiwa to take home. Joe patiently tried to teach me how to play the ukulele – with mixed results.

Waimea Bay’s epic surf makes it a mecca for the world’s best big-wave surfers. More iconic North Shore tastes were calling, and just down the road from Surf N Sea is Matsumoto Shave Ice’s original store in Haleiwa. Established in 1951, the pioneers of Hawaiian snow cones were doing a roaring trade when I lined up for my rainbow-striped offering of sweet syrup infused shave ice. Then there’s Ted’s Bakery, another North Shore legend, where you’ll swoon over their insatiable chocolate haupia pie. It is chocolaty, coconutty and encrusted with macadamias. What a knock-out! And you’ll want to stake out the hole in the wall bakery in the middle of a field, just west of Haleiwa. Paalaa Kai bakery is a 40-year-old institution beloved for its freshly-made snow puffies, flaky and buttery pastries, stuffed with cold, creamy custard and topped with swirls of chocolate fudge. Sensational. I also ventured to the Hukilau Marketplace in La’ie. It’s home to a headrush of taste temptations like fresh fish taco, but be sure to leave room for a lilikoi roll from

Aunty Emily’s Bakery. It’s a superlight pastry slathered in passionfruit icing. Feeling suitably guilty after so much decadence, a sweet spot to burn-off the calorific excess is Waimea Valley. Operated as a not-for-profit conservancy, this botanical and scenic natural wonderland offers a lush walk into the past. The valley brims with cultural artisans and archaeological sites, including the 600-yearold memorial to the Hawaiian god Lono, the god of peace, fertility, and agriculture. There’s over 5000 botanicals, including hibiscus and orchids, showcased in this undulating valley sanctuary which eventually threads you up to the magnificent Waimea waterfall. Reward yourself with a soothing swim in the rock pool. Back on the shoreline, Waimea Bay’s epic surf makes it a mecca for the world’s best big-wave surfers. I opted to stay just east of Waimea Bay at Turtle Bay Resort, a staggering retreat where the ferociously pounding waves theatrically break on either side of the ho-

Serving up some surprises By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Some big surprises were served up when the new-look Mid Canterbury Tennis open grade competition hit the courts at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre on Saturday. The old A grade and A reserve format has been replaced this season by the one open grade competition, featuring six teams of six players in each, and on Saturday it kicked off with some pretty one-sided results. Southern beat Methven 7-2, while Fairton beat Dorie 8-1 and Hampstead beat Allenton 8-1, but a number of matches went down to the wire, with some ending in upsets. Arguably the biggest upset of day one came in the clash between Methven and Southern, which featured a repeat of last year’s Mid Canterbury Tennis Gala Cup men’s singles final between Cameron McCracken and Sam Bubb. McCracken won that Gala Cup final, but Bubb fired the first shots this season, beating him on Saturday 6-3 6-4 in the top singles, and teaming up with Gareth Evans to claim the top doubles in a tight three-setter, 5-7 6-4 1-0 (10-8) over McCracken and Tyler Leonard. Southern claimed all three doubles matches. The five and six pairing of Jess Aldridge and Jim Barry dropped just one game in their doubles, before Aldridge went on to beat Victoria Talbot 6-2 6-0, and Barry beat Drew Gilbert 6-1 6-1. Matt Bubb claimed Southern’s other win, beating Neil Alombro 6-3 6-2 at four, and he teamed up with one of two sons in the team – Ollie Bubb – to claim the middle doubles 6-1 6-2 over Alombro and Aidan Watt. Watt got one on the board for Methven, beating Sam Bubb 6-2 7-6 (7-4), while Leonard picked up Methven’s second win, downing Evans 6-0 6-4. Leonard’s dad, Peter Leonard, didn’t have the best start to the season though. Taking to the court for Hampstead in the top doubles with Peter Kirwan, he sprained his ankle midgame, and the Allenton pairing of Jason Feutz and Lee Gilbert went

on to win it in three. But that was to be Allenton’s only win. Leonard senior was unable to play singles, but new Mid Canterbury Tennis coach Jack Tiller was on site and, with no commitments to his Christchurch premier club on Saturday, was able to fill the gap at the top of the order. He took on Feutz and the two produced one of the battles of the day, with Tiller taking it eventually 7-5 7-6 (7-4), while in the two singles, a couple of players more used to forming a pretty good doubles pairing faced off in a classic singles match, with Kirwan eventually downing Gilbert 7-6 6-7 1-0 (10-7). In the middle order, Hampstead’s Bryn Looij and Josh Jones beat Mathieu Lucas and Lachlan Adam in the doubles 6-2 6-4, with Looij then beating Lucas 6-4 6-0 and Jones downing Adam 6-1 6-1. It was all Hampstead in the lower order too, with Dianna Leonard and Ashton Cromie beating Murphy Dargue and Sam Holland 6-1 6-1, and Leonard then beating Dargue 6-0 6-2 and Cromie beating Holland 6-1 6-0. One of Mid Canterbury’s newest acquisitions, national under-14 champion Diego Quispe-Kim, provided the other big talking point of the day, leading Fairton to a comprehensive first-up win. Quispe-Kim took on multiple time Gala Cup champion Rhys Cromie in the top singles and won 6-0 6-1, and in the doubles he teamed up with Connor Brosnahan to beat Cromie and his brother Jayden Cromie 6-4 6-3. Brosnahan then took another win for Fairton, beating Jayden Cromie at two 6-1 6-2, while the other two doubles matches also went Fairton’s way. In the middle order Michael Kerr and Jade Brosnahan beat Tim Groves and Harry Dargue 6-2 6-2, while in the lower order Phil Crozier and John Leslie started the season with a three-set win over Jacob Pye and Brendon Adam. Kerr, Jade Brosnahan and Crozier all won their singles in two sets, while Dorie finally picked up a win in the number six singles, with Jim Barry sends a serve down the court during the opening round of the new open grade tennis Adam beating Leslie 6-0 6-1. competition on Saturday.

Medvedev confirms top-level consistency AP Third seed Daniil Medvedev flexed his muscles at the Shanghai Masters yesterday to reach a sixth consecutive tournament final. The confident Russian, through to his ninth final of the year, out-

lasted sixth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece 7-6 (5), 7-5. Medvedev has won a tour-best 58 matches this season, 43 in straight sets. He has yet to drop a set in the tournament. Fifth-seeded Alexander Zverev of Germany now stands between

Medvedev winning his seventh career title and his third of this year. Zverev ended 11th-seeded Italian Matteo Berrettini’s run by taking their semi-final 6-3, 6-4, ending the match on an ace, one of 11 he had.

“This was a much different match than when playing against Roger (Federer yesterday),” Zverev said. “I take a lot of positives from this into the final tomorrow.” Medvedev has lost to Zverev all of the four times they have played,

though none of the contests took place this year. “He’s different this year,” Zverev said. “The last few months he’s probably the best player in the world. “He’s definitely playing the best tennis of his life.”

■■CRICKET

Tech start Country cricket campaign with a win Tech’s first outing in the Canterbury Country senior grade cricket competition will be one they’ll remember for a while to come. A team that believe they can be a force to be reckoned with this year, Tech headed to the Weedons Domain on Saturday keen to get a good win on the board early, and that’s exactly what they did. They batted first against Weedons and amassed an impressive 278/9 off their 40 overs, with opening batsman Jason Morrison falling just short of a half century to start the season off, dismissed

for 49, while Des Kruger did manage to get past 50, eventually out for 71. It was a day where a number of batsmen got starts, with Bevan Ravenscroft chiming in with 31, William McKee adding 22 at the top, and Harry Jones unbeaten on 27 at the end. Weedons were no match, all out for just 50 in reply, with Alex Veint taking 3/15 off eight overs, Bevan Richan taking 2/9 and Jones, Ravenscroft and Liam O’Connor picking up the other three, while Richan and Ravenscroft also nabbed a run out each.

It was a big day for Mid Canterbury Cricket. This season is the first time they’ve sent teams up the road to compete under Canterbury Country – a move that came from a review at the end of last season when it looked like the local senior grade would drop to three for the 2019/20 season. Tech and a new-look Allenton side took up the opportunity to play in the Country competition, while Mid Canterbury will run a new mid-week 18 over competition on a Wednesday night, start-

ing next month. While the new season started well for Tech, it didn’t get off to such a good start for the new Allenton side, which is made up of players hailing from India. The competition is split into a north section and a south section and although Tech and Allenton are both in the south zone, each week there will be a cross-over match, and on Saturday that’s what Allenton had. They met Swannanoa at Rolleston – which is what will happen if Mid Canterbury teams and

North Canterbury teams play in that crossover match – and came away with a pretty big loss. Swannanoa batted first and made 214/9 off their 40 overs, and then bowled Allenton out for 66. A couple of batsmen down due to injuries in the field, including one player with a fractured finger sustained in the act of taking a catch, the depleted Allenton batting line-up struggled, with Harpreet Singh offering the most resistance, occupying one end for a long period while wickets tumbled around him.

Cowboys round up Chertsey By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

A first Aoraki Rugby League title may have eluded the Chertsey Oilers, but the 2019 season will still be one the club will remember for a long time. The Oilers took on the Country Cowboys in the Aoraki competition’s final at Timaru’s Alpine Energy Stadium on Saturday and lost 48-6, and while they might have been disappointed with the performance they produced, they still had smiles on their faces when the final whistle sounded. That’s because at the start of the season – which was the Oilers’ third ever season – they were a side yet to experience that winning feeling. Now, they’re a team that know how to win. They beat the Timaru Outlaws in round one, and the Ashburton Barbarians in round two – which saw them get their hands on the new Mid Canterbury Shield – before drawing with the Cowboys in the final round. While the Cowboys finished top to go straight through to the final, the Oilers had to take on the Barbarians in a semi-final, which they won last weekend at the Rakaia Domain to seal their place in the big dance. Oilers player Seamus Smyth said Saturday was a great day. He said being able to play the league final as the curtain-raiser to South Canterbury’s Heartland Championship rugby game against West Coast, was amazing, and it was a top day for league in the Aoraki region. But, when it came down to it,

his side just didn’t turn up. “I think we were all still in bed,” Smyth said. “But we went through the regular season undefeated, so to get there from never having had a win before, it’s huge growth.” The Cowboys side that took to the park on Saturday was littered

“It was more we didn’t turn up,” Smyth said. The Oilers did cross for one try, and that was scored by one of the side’s veterans, Sia Fifita. But at the end of the day it

was the Country Cowboys who got their hands on the Duncan McGregor Memorial Trophy for the second time. They last won in 2017, with the Ashburton Barbarians winning in 2018.

St Helens wrap up yet another Super League title Zeb Taia, who has represented New Zealand at the highest level, scored as St Helens ensured there was no fairytale ending for underdogs Salford by condemning them to a 23-6 defeat in an enthralling English Super League title decider at Old Trafford yesterday. Saints, who had finished a re-

cord 16 points clear at the end of the regular season, finally managed to turn on the style on the big stage, quelling the brave challenge of their spirited opponents to secure a record seventh Super League title, their first since 2014. It meant that, after two near misses in 2018 and a heartbreak-

ing Wembley defeat in August, the St Helens players got their wish to send popular Australian coach Justin Holbrook out with a major trophy just as Wigan had done for Shaun Wane 12 months earlier. Saints’ victory dashed the hopes of a storybook season finish for former Warriors and Kiwis players

Tui Lolohea and Krisnan Inu. Tries to Morgan Knowles and Taia - the former Parramatta Eels and Newcastle Knights forward who had one cap for the Kiwis in 2010 - gave the Saints a 12-0 lead. Lolohea had a try ruled out for obstruction by a team-mate. Ex-Manly Sea Eagles halfback

Jackson Hastings – who won the Man of Steel award for player of the year – inspired a try for Jake Bibby. St Helens frontrower Luke Thompson won the Harry Sunderland Trophy for man of the match, becoming the first prop to win the award since Andy Platt for Wigan in 1992.

Disappointing end for Hammers By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s Heartland Championship rugby season came to an end with a 31-10 loss to Wairarapa Bush in Ashburton on Saturday. It was a disappointing end to a disappointing season for the Hammers, with the visitors building on a 14-3 half time lead to take the win and secure their spot in the Meads Cup (top four) semi-finals with a third place finish on the table, while Mid Canterbury finished well out of the top eight, down in second to last spot. It’s not where Mid Canterbury’s coaching duo of Dale Palmer and Jason Rickard saw their team ending up, when they embarked on the 2019 campaign. They believed they had the team to get the job done, and all season they’ve seen glimpses of what that team was capable of, but that’s been the story of the season. Mid Canterbury have had moments of brilliance, mixed in with many moments they’d like to forget, and Palmer said as a group they’d learn a lot from the past few weeks. “It was a tough end to a tough season really, but I suppose it is what it is,” Palmer said. If he had his time again, there’s nothing he’d do differently. “As tough as it has been, we’ve still got some really positive things happening internally, and the boys are already talking about next season,” Palmer said. Mid Canterbury headed into Saturday’s game against Wairarapa Bush wanting to rattle a few cages and finish on a high, and while they did manage a try towards the end – through replacement prop Matt Groom, who has been a try-scoring machine this season for both Methven and Mid Canterbury – it was Wairarapa Bush’s day.

Matt Groom finished the 2019 season by doing something he’s done pretty well so far this season – scoring a try. Groom scored Mid Canterbury’s try in their 31-10 loss to Wairarapa Bush. PHOTO ROBYN HOOD 121019-RH-011 Whether Palmer and Rickard will be back to coach for another season is unknown, but if they get the chance, they’re likely to take it. “We definitely don’t want to finish like this,” Palmer said. “I don’t like letting people down, and neither does Jase.” People might look at the results and see failure, but Palmer said

they’ve achieved what they set out to do in some other areas, and now it’s about taking this season and building on it. The only team below Mid Canterbury on the ladder this season were East Coast, who finished their season off with a 61-29 loss to North Otago. The loss was East Coast’s 50th on the trot.

Meanwhile West Coast finished up with a 27-24 win over South Canterbury, Buller beat Poverty Bay 36-26, Wanganui beat Horowhenua-Kapiti 38-15 and King Country went down to Thames Valley 37-15. Their latest win means the defending champion Thames Valley side are still in with a shot of defending their Meads Cup crown.

The Swamp Foxes finished top of the table and will host fourth placed Wanganui in one semi-final, while North Otago and Wairarapa Bush will fight it out in the other. In the Lochore Cup (fifth to eighth spot) West Coast will host Poverty Bay in one semi-final, while Buller will host South Canterbury in the other.

Typhoon not the only major issue at this World Cup By Gregor Paul

his Rugby World Cup was tracking badly long before Typhoon Hagibis turned up angry and disruptive. A tournament that promised so much after a thrilling early encounter between the All Blacks and South Africa has delivered almost nothing since. Japan thrilled when they beat Ireland and Australia and Wales had an end-to-end thriller, as did Fiji and Wales, but that has been it. The rest of the rugby has been mostly dire – a procession of dull games played by dull teams with dull coaches, refereed by weak officials who have been following the orders of a governing body determined to blow up its own sport. This might even be the worst World Cup ever. The rugby was pretty bad in 2007 but 2019 is pushing hard to drag the game lower and convince the millions

of casual viewers who don’t know quite what to make of it all, to rush straight back to watching football. Or grass growing. Or paint drying. Anything other than rugby which at the moment, doesn’t make sense, doesn’t capture the imagination and is shockingly bereft of creative heroes. None of the blame for this tournament being a horror show should sit with the hosts, who have been quite brilliant in every regard. Japan has upheld its side of things. We could blame the officials and their mad boss who chucked them under the bus in week one for not following his ludicrous directive to send anyone and everyone off the field should they so much look at an opponent’s head. They certainly deserve some of the blame – not so much for the endless cards as that is what they have been asked to do, but their total lack of inter-

est in whether teams or onside or offside is a killer. Question: How hard can it be to work out whether a defensive line is behind the back foot or not? Answer: Not hard at all and yet assistant referees who seem to have nothing other to do than raise their flag for a lineout, apparently can’t do it. They stand mutely and blindly on the sideline while game after game is reduced to a flurry of smash, bang, wallop in the middle of the field as neither team has any space in which to work. Failure to keep teams onside is one of the biggest killers of creativity and it’s no wonder World Rugby deputy chairman Agustin Pichot said it was driving him nuts and ruining this World Cup. But while this failure by referees to police this one area has been complicit in making this World Cup entirely forgettable, it is not solely to blame for the bland, defensive nature of it all.

There are plenty of coaches at this tournament who need to ask whether they have any kind of attacking vision at all. Most teams at this tournament can tackle the house down. Most can hold their shape and structure on defence through multiple phases, but how many can make a good pass under pressure? How many can pass and catch in slick formation or use their footwork to find holes? And how many teams have played with such attacking freedom and spontaneity that kids around the world have been inspired to dream that one day they will emulate all of what they have seen? The answer at the moment is just two teams – New Zealand and Japan. Other teams such as Fiji, Scotland, Australia and Uruguay have tried to play attacking rugby and pulled it off at times but have struggled with their ball retention and skill execution. And that’s the biggest problem

with this World Cup – not enough teams have turned up with the willingness combined with the ability to attack. The majority are here to tackle and kick their way to victory and bore us all to death in the process. And what we are seeing at this tournament is that many of the world’s so-called best players are in fact deficient in many areas but can mask it with their physicality and durability. There is maybe some hope that come the knockout rounds we will see some dash to go with the bash, but when most of the teams weren’t able to pass and catch in the pool rounds, it’s unlikely they will be able to do so when the pressure is even greater. There’s no point in expecting miracles. They aren’t going to happen and what Typhoon Hagibis has done is provide a little breathing space to sit back and realise that it’s been a stinker of a tournament so far.

Cantabs cling on to Shield NZME Canterbury have locked the Ranfurly Shield away for the summer – but it took them 83 minutes to do so. A try after the hooter had sounded from reserve prop Harry Allan saw the hosts barely survive a fierce challenge from North Harbour, clinging to a 31-25 victory yesterday. Harbour, who had claimed the Shield just once, against Canterbury in 2006, were looking good to repeat the dose 13 years later, with tries to Mark Telea and Lewis Gjaltema seeing them come back from a 17-5 deficit at halftime, and 24-13 with 15 minutes remaining, to take a 25-24 lead into the dying stages. A missed penalty from Brett Cameron with five minutes to go – from a simple position – saw one Canterbury chance go begging, but they were given another opportunity in the final throes. A penalty from 40 metres out, on a tough angle, was turned down, with Cameron instead kicking for the corner. A powerful rolling maul put them close to the line, before earning a pivotal penalty advantage. Strangely, they opted against taking a drop goal, but their deci-

sion paid off as repeated drives towards the Harbour line eventually reaped rewards as Allan crashed over. It was a brutal blow for Harbour on two accounts. Not only were they denied just their second Shield tenure, but the loss also sees them miss out on the playoffs in the Premiership, by one point to fourth-placed Auckland. Auckland will now play the unbeaten Tasman in their semi-final next week, while Canterbury will turn their attention to a tasty clash against Wellington. In the Championship, Otago limped into the playoffs after suffering an embarrassing 40-10 thrashing at the hands of Northland. Having lost the Shield to Canterbury last week, Otago had clearly run out of puff, or merely realised there was nothing to play for, and were run off the park by a Northland side who came into the clash in last on the Championship ladder, having conceded 42 points per game. This time, they were the team to pile on the points, leaving Southland to take the wooden spoon for the third straight season. Scott Gregory and Jordan Hyland bagged doubles as the hosts ran in six tries, and while Northland

The Canterbury players were a very relieved bunch after the final whistle yesterday. still had to do plenty of defending, making 154 tackles as Otago racked up 57 per cent possession, they held solid to claim a surprisingly substantial victory. Otago will have to regroup before a semi-final against Hawke’s Bay next week, while Bay of Plenty will take on Manawatu in the other semi.

The semi-finalists have also been found in the Farah Palmer Cup. Canterbury will take on Counties Manukau in a rematch of last year’s final after they completed a perfect regular season with their sixth straight win, thrashing Bay of Plenty 40-7. In the other Premiership

semi-final, Wellington will take on Auckland after they came from behind to beat Manawatu 42-26. In the Championship, Northland took down Taranaki in their quarter-final to book a semifinal against Otago, while Tasman will visit Hawke’s Bay after they edged North Harbour in their quarter-final.

No chance of complacency in Irish camp AP Ireland won’t get complacent this time before playing in the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals. An early loss to host Japan, and a knockout match against either tournament favourite New Zealand or two-time champion South Africa next weekend will see to that. If it doesn’t, then veteran captain Rory Best will be delivering some sharp reminders. “We know it’s knockouts and we said a couple of weeks ago after the Japanese game that we learned our lesson,” Best said. “The last two World Cups I’ve been involved at, we weren’t quite where we thought we were.” Ireland was rolling a bit too smoothly, Best recalled, and got somewhat ahead of themselves after the group stage. In 2011, Ireland beat two-time champion Australia 15-6 in the group stage and then lost 22-10 to Wales. In 2015, the Irish beat three-time World Cup finalist France 24-9 to top their group but were then thumped 43-20 by Argentina. “We rolled through two pool stages where we didn’t lose a game and we were full of confidence. “Maybe looking back now, maybe (there was) a little bit of over confidence,” said Best, who led Ireland for the 37th time in the

Ireland’s Keith Earls runs past the Samoan defence during their Rugby World Cup Pool A game. PHOTO AP 47-5 win over Samoa on Saturday. “It’s really important to think, right, ‘what stone did we leave unturned?” “It’s got to be all about rugby this week – ultimately it’s about going to a quarter-final and winning it. You don’t get a second chance.” Depending on last night’s result, Ireland might finish second in Pool A behind the Japanese and face three-time champion New Zealand next Saturday. If the Scots won, Ireland will play two-time champion South Africa on the Sunday.

“They’re two world-class teams and we’re going to have to produce our best rugby,” Best said. Both sides are formidable opponents at any time, let alone when they’re fresh and rested. South Africa’s final Pool B game was on Tuesday, and New Zealand didn’t have to play Italy on Saturday because that match was called off because of the super typhoon – Typhoon Hagibis – impacting parts of the country. Whoever they play, Ireland’s squad has significantly less time to prepare.

Furthermore, they played for more than 50 minutes with 14 men in Saturday’s match against Samoa after centre Bundee Aki’s first-half red cad. Battle-hardened for the challenge ahead, yes, but a little bit fatigued, too – and possibly missing a key player. “It’s enough work that we got through but at the same time it was a lot of work (against Samoa),” Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt said. “It probably just squeezes up our preparation. We might need another day or so to recover.” Aki got a red card for a dangerous high tackle, after video review ruled he led with his shoulder into the face of Samoa flyhalf Ulupano Seuteni. It was a record-extending seventh red card of a tournament where referees are under huge pressure to penalise high tackles. It means Aki could be suspended for the rest of the tournament. He faces a disciplinary hearing tonight. “It’s a really tough situation,” Schmidt said. “I think Bundee is upright, you can see both his hands are behind the shoulder blades of the player who is just starting to come up. “It’s all split-second stuff.” Schmidt is preparing himself not to have Bundee available. “We live in hope and we’ll see.

“Once it’s a red card you sense a loss of control over what happens next, no matter what you try to present,” he said. “We’d both be pretty disappointed if Bundee does get ruled out of the rest of the tournament off the back of that tackle.” Still, Schmidt is delighted to count on a fit squad. Unlike four years ago, when Ireland entered the Argentina clash without standout flyhalf Johnny Sexton and several other players injured. “It was a concertina effect for us last time ... We’ve got a better body count (this time). I would say we’ve got 31 fit players at this stage,” he said. Schmid`t, who is a New Zealander, coached Ireland to its first victory against the All Blacks three years ago – a 40-29 win in Chicago ending a 111-year wait. Ireland won again last year, 16-9 in Dublin. But if the teams do meet again next weekend, he’s under no illusions what to expect. In topping Pool B, the All Blacks beat South Africa 23-13 and then crushed Canada 63-0 and Namibia 71-9. “The All Blacks are a sort of team you could play at your best and still not quite get the result. They weren’t No. 1 in the world for 10 years and back-to-back World Cup winners for no reason,” Schmidt said.

Chase Auckland the victor

After two frustrating performances, Chase Auckland put his New Zealand Trotting Cup campaign back on track with a bold win in yesterday’s Methven Cup. The Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen-trained runner overcame sitting parked for the last mile of the 3000-metre event to win in the hands of Tim Williams and gave the stable their seventh win in the race in the last 10 years. A son of former boom pacer, Auckland Reactor, Chase Auckland hadn’t brought his best behaviour

in his last two performances, but never put a foot wrong yesterday and was strong to the line. The pace-making Ashley Locaz put up a strong fight to finish second after working to the lead just over a lap from home while up-and-coming pacer, Gran Chico was produced a solid effort to run third. Defending New Zealand Trotting Cup champ Thefixer made up solid ground to finish just off the pace. The locals had a tough day on their home track, with not a lot to write home about aside from an

early success with trotter DD’s Super Stuart who was successful earlier in the day for Methven Trotting Club vice president Carl Markham. In a local quinella with the Michael Heenantrained Superfast Lad, DD’s Super Stuart, driven by former local Jeremy Markham, came from well off the speed at the 1000m mark to win with some authority.

■■CAULFIELD CUP

Baster to ride Chosen One NZME Less than 24 hours on from a stunning Group Two victory by The Chosen One at Caulfield on Saturday afternoon, co-trainer Murray Baker is already thinking ahead to next weekend where his charge will try to pull off an even greater triumph. Baker, who prepares the Savabeel four-year-old in partnership with Andrew Forsman, has his sights firmly set on taking out his second Gr.1 Caulfield Cup (2400m) after success with Mongolian Khan in 2015. The Chosen One gained automatic entry into the Caulfield feature with his victory in the Gr.2 Herbert Power Stakes (2400m) with Baker reporting his charge had pulled up in fine fettle after the performance. “I stopped in and saw him at the stables on my way to the airport and he looks great,” Baker said. “I think the most pleasing part of Saturday’s race was the way he attacked the line and was strong at the finish. “He proved that he gets the 2400m well and that was a very good horse (Prince Of Arran) that he beat. “We will monitor him over the next few days but there is no reason why he can’t take his place in the Cup next weekend and with his light weight (52kgs) he looks to have a good chance. “We’ve booked Stephen Baster for the ride and he has done well for us before including a win on Jon Snow in the JRA Cup (Gr.3, 2040m).” Baker was quick to admit he had been left scratching his head over The Chosen One’s lacklustre performance at his previous run where he finished well back in the Gr.1 Underwood Stakes (1800m)

■■EGMONT CUP

Red Sierra crushes cup rivals NZME

The Chosen One takes out the Herbert Power Stakes on Saturday. after an eye-catching run for fifth at Moonee Valley to open his Australian campaign. “It would be fair to say we have done a bit of soul searching about that Underwood Stakes run,” Baker said. “I don’t have any reasons as to why he went the way he did as his work had been good and we thought he would put up a good performance. “He has trained on well since then so we went into Saturday with some cautious optimism that the real horse would stand up and thankfully he did.” While not inclined to get ahead of himself Baker still has thoughts about the next step for the Chosen One post the Caulfield Cup, with a start in the Gr.1 Lexus Mel-

bourne Cup (3200m) looming as a serious possibility. “Our focus is on The Caulfield Cup but if he was to run well there then the possibility of a start at Flemington will become more of a reality,” he said. “I would think he will improve sharply up the ratings after his win on Saturday but I guess the biggest question is whether he will get a true 3200m. “Everything suggests he will, as his run in the Australian Derby (2400m) was tremendous last season when he was wide and kept coming. “He franked that with his win in the Frank Packer Plate (Gr.3, 2000m) after that, so I think after Saturday’s performance you would like to think he might

stretch out to the two miles of the Cup.” The Chosen One currently lies 68th in the order of entry for the Melbourne Cup with an allotted handicap of 51.5kgs, with handicapper Greg Carpenter to make a decision today whether his Herbert Power victory warrants a Melbourne Cup penalty. Baker was also pleased with a gritty effort from stablemate Madison County who finished seventh in the Gr.1 Toorak Handicap (1600m) after sitting threewide throughout. “We’ve been a little bit behind the eight ball with him coming out of the New Zealand winter,” he said. “He just needs racing and I think there is still plenty of improvement in him.”

Talented pocket rocket Red Sierra put her trademark powerful sprint finish to good effect on Saturday when she dashed home to claim victory in the South Taranaki Club Egmont Cup (2100m) at Hawera. Primarily thought of as a sprinter-miler the Redwood six-year-old showed she could be just as potent over a middle distance as she rounded up her opposition in the final 300m to register a comfortable two and a half length victory in her first start past 1600m. The win was her eighth in a 26-start career to date and one which has co-trainer David Howarth excited about her future prospects. “That was a pretty special win as she carried 58kgs and dominated a handy field in her first go past a mile,” he said. “She also did it on a Dead5 rated track whereas her winning form had been on slow or heavy surfaces up until now. “I’ve always thought she would handle better going as she has a terrific action. “I’ve also thought she would be suited by a middle distance, primarily due to her barrier manners which can be a bit iffy at times. “She threw away the Winter Cup (Gr.3, 1600m) back in August when she missed away by eight lengths and still ran fourth. “With less tempo on over the longer distances she gets the chance to settle and get into a rhythm which you can’t often do over a shorter trip.”

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): There’s a place in your heart that is only filled by one person. It’s like that person made your heart soft and then sunk into that softness leaving an impression that everything else formed around. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Today has the potential to become quite a ride due to one word with three little letters. “Yes” is the ticket that takes you up, down and loop-de-loop, adrenaline included in the price of admission. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Enthusiasm is a talent. Being able to get behind people and give them support, encouragement and motivation is no small ability. In fact, it’s the top skill that matters today. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Comedy, magic, sales, love... so much can be accomplished with a thoughtful and well-paced presentation. Pay attention to the order of things, what to reveal and when to do it. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): There will be those who mistakenly think respect is obtained through displays of dominance, but making people afraid doesn’t earn their allegiance. People respect and serve those who respect and serve them. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): If there’s a way to make the exchange or process any simpler, you’ll figure it out and end up helping everyone efficiently apply time and resources. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): There’s an art to being the boss. Anyone can order people around. An effective delegator asks the right person and makes a fair exchange that will benefit all. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Fun challenge: Something you used to be able to manage with your hands tied behind your back has now slipped out of your control. Assess what you do have control over and go from there. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Unlike auto insurance, life doesn’t give you a discount for being a safe driver. In fact, you may pay more for being risk-averse. So take a chance today. It will be good for your pocketbook. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Writing things by hand makes them a part of your memory, your thought process and even your behaviour and heart. The magic of handwriting reinforces your deepest wishes. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’ll be surprised, stunned even, by today’s twist, which will include you enjoying something you never thought you would or liking someone with whom you don’t agree. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): When disagreements hurt disproportionately to the severity of the issue at hand, something deeper is going on. The cause of pain is not the thing happening in the moment but the phantom pain of a historic wound.

Methven take sevens By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Methven went through unbeaten to claim Mid Canterbury Rugby’s club sevens crown when the tournament returned to action in Ashburton on Saturday. It had been many years since Mid Canterbury last hosted a club sevens tournament, and Mid Canterbury Rugby Union rugby development officer Jason Ree was stoked with how it played out – so much so that he’s hoping teams might want to do it all over again this weekend. It’s all part of a push on sevens

that it’s hoped will lead to Mid Canterbury’s best possible team taking to the field at the South Island regional qualifying tournament in Timaru in December. Tournaments like Saturday’s are a chance for people to put their hands up for sevens selection, and some may just have done that on Saturday. Methven were one of the teams to beat from the start, beating Hampstead 19-7 in the opening round of the day, while Celtic also fired some big warning shots early, downing Mt Somers 22-0 in the other game of round one.

In round two, Methven had the bye while Mt Somers picked up their first win over Hampstead, 26-20, and Celtic continued with their good form, downing Rakaia 34-5. It wasn’t quite the start Rakaia had been hoping for, but they made up for it in round three, beating Mt Somers 29-0, while Methven ground out a 5-0 win over Celtic. In round four, Hampstead and Rakaia battled out an enthralling 19-all draw, while Methven ran out big winners against Mt Somers 45-7.

The last two games of the day were played one after the other on the Ashburton Showgrounds’ main oval, as the curtain-raisers to Mid Canterbury’s final Heartland Championship match against Wairarapa Bush. Celtic took on Hampstead and came away with another victory, 27-12, before Methven looked to finish off the day unbeaten against Rakaia, and although Rakaia came back at them in the second half, Methven held to win 24-14. The Methven sevens squad was Tait Chisman, Kipi Manumua,

George Folau, Sam Luscombe, Luke Gilbert, Reuben Early, Caleb Early, Campbell Sommerville, Kendall Sparrow, Sam Peek, Thomas Henderson, Jakob Smith and Pete Withers. It’s now up to the teams as to whether sevens will return to Mid Canterbury soil again this weekend, while Mid Canterbury’s build-up to the national qualifying event in Timaru on November 30 will hopefully begin at the Spring Sevens in Christchurch on November 2, before moving to the Referees Sevens tournament in Oamaru on November 16.
