NO GO FOR SHOW By Susan Sandys
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
For the first time in 78 years, the Methven A&P Show has been cancelled. Show organisers made the decision late yesterday following Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s announcement advising events of more than 500 people be cancelled as New Zealand attempts to avoid community transmission of the Covid-19 disease. It is the first time for decades
that such action has had to be taken by Methven A&P Association members for their signature annual event. The show has been running for over 100 years, and prior cancellations go back to 1925 due to the influenza pandemic and 1942 due to World War Two. Mid Canterbury event organisers were thrown into uncertainty yesterday as they awaited the Government announcement on large gatherings.
Earlier in the day, Methven A&P Show organisers said the show, scheduled for this Saturday, was still going ahead pending the announcement. President Adam Glass was philosophical about the turn of events, realising show organisers simply had to “follow the directive” of government. Interestingly organisers had had to consider cancelling the show last year as well due to the suspected continuing terror
threat following the March 15 attacks. The cancellation this year would be felt by everyone from kids entering their spud in the bucket to trade site operators. “It’s sad for all of the community, all the work that everyone has done over the year and it can’t be showcased,” Glass said. Meanwhile, promoters cancelled two Ashburton Trust Event Centre shows leading up to Ardern’s announcement, and

takings at the centre are set to take a hit. Manager Roger Farr said as long as the centre could guarantee there would be less than 500 attending an event, it would be up to promoters or event organisers whether they wished to cancel or not.

Corona-chaos wrecks holiday By Susan Sandys
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Ashburton’s Warren and Vicki Smith trotted off across the Tasman earlier this month, looking forward to some quiet time in the sun. They were also going to watch the Australia versus New Zealand one-day cricket series at the Sydney Cricket Ground. But between the time they left on March 3 and when they were due to return today, corona-chaos erupted around the world and changed everything. Internationally, flight plans were thrown into disarray and large-scale sporting events were cancelled. Today, the Smiths are back home. They arrived two days earlier than planned, but counting their blessings they were able to get home when they did. Warren said yesterday the first signs of the upheaval to come were four days into their holiday, when they were to fly from Cairns to Coolangatta. Due to flights being cancelled, they had to work out another way to get there, and ended up having to fly to Sydney first. They had a lovely time in Coolangatta, and were excited about going to Sydney where they would meet friends and go to the cricket. Warren said it was “bitterly disappointing” to then have the 11th-hour Cricket Australia decision of the one-day series to be played behind closed doors. “But you totally understand the reasons for it,” Warren said. “We weren’t angry about it, we

were just disappointed,” he said. Nevertheless, they looked forward to catching up with their friends and enjoying their four days in Sydney. But while out for dinner on Saturday, their phones all of a sudden lit up as family members let them know of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s announcement regarding the tough new self-isolation procedures. The announcement sparked a mass exodus of Kiwis from countries around the world as they scrambled to get home early and beat the restrictions.
With Warren, an animal nutrition company operator and Vicki, a pharmacy employee, they were among the throngs not wanting to be forced out of action for a whole two weeks. Within an hour they were trying to bring forward their Sydney to Christchurch flight on Tuesday to Sunday, so they would beat the deadline. Flights were filling up fast, but they managed to book a couple of seats and touched down in Christchurch about 2pm on Sunday. Their daughter and son-in-law
picked them up. Observing the recommended hygiene protocols for keeping a safe distance from people, there were no hugs at the airport. Warren and Vicki are symptom-free, but still staying home for a couple of days just to check they don’t all of a sudden develop a cough or a sniffle. They have their holiday to reminisce upon, and it is one they will never forget. Warren said the first part was “brilliant” as they enjoyed their sunny Queensland holiday, but after that it was “a bit of a mess”.
It’s no go for the Methven A&P Show From P1 There had been three cancellations or postponements to date – the Ali Harper and World of Musicals performances, as well as one conference. The venue had 500 seats, but there could be up to 50 extras in performers, stage crew and centre staff. “It’s very uncertain times still,
No tolerance for those who don’t self-isolate
until they put some more detail in on what 500 looks like, whether it is audiences only or everyone in the building ...” The cancellations to date had so far cost about $15,000 in lost revenue, and he expected the centre would take a big hit in months to come. The self-isolation rules were restricted to overseas shows, and
there were three of these planned for the centre within the next six months. New Zealand is not at the level of having community spread of coronavirus, with no new cases of Covid-19, remaining with eight confirmed and two probable cases. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern earlier flagged further guidelines
on mass gatherings, following announcing the criteria would be around large numbers of people in close proximity, events where people are more likely to be in physical contact, events where participants have travelled from overseas, and non-ticketed events, where for instance there is no seat allocation, making it difficult to contact trace.
Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern said there would be “zero-tolerance” for travellers who did not self-isolate. Ministers would use the Immigration Act to deport people on visitors’ visas, and deportation was a serious blight on someone’s record. Anyone refusing to self-isolate was “not welcome” in New Zealand, she said. New Zealanders who didn’t self-isolate voluntarily could be placed in a medical facility, and a police officer could be placed on the door to prevent them escaping, but Ardern said most people will want to look after each other and make sure requirements are being followed. People signing forms about self-isolation could be turned into statutory declarations, where violating the terms could lead to a fine, she said. She said she knew people whose weddings had already been affected by the strict border controls, and more would be affected by the guidelines on mass gatherings – but they were important measures for the good of the whole country. Meanwhile, Ardern said she had no plans to change the election date of September 19 at this stage. She also confirmed that she would not attend the Asean trip to Vietnam scheduled for April. She said ministers were giving government departments space to deal with the Covid-19 outbreak, as this was an “all of government” response. “We are putting huge pressure on our public servants and they are responding magnificently.” She said NZ First MP and Minister Tracey Martin tuned in to Cabinet yesterday, and all Ministers should follow the same rules as everyone else. Martin has not been tested, and Ardern said testing was up to clinicians. Last week Martin had sat next to Australian Minister Peter Dutton, who has tested positive for Covid-19, but Ardern said that Martin had followed all the right steps and didn’t need to be tested. Martin has not showed any symptoms.

Handbags flood in for charity evening By Susan Sandys
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Dozens of beautiful handbags, both new and pre-loved, have been donated for the upcoming Handbags and Gladrags evening. Organisers Ashburton Family Violence co-ordinator Sheree Kershaw and CanBead national co-ordinator Kylie Curwood have been overwhelmed with the generosity of individuals and businesses. They are now on the lookout for items to put in those bags. “All that fun girly stuff,” said Curwood as she described what they were looking for.
Unused beauty products, perfume, chocolates, toiletries and gift vouchers are some examples of what people and businesses can donate. Items can be dropped off to Community House. Handbags and Gladrags is a popular annual event featuring a mystery handbag charity auction, raffles, silent auction and entertainment. There are also bubbles on arrival and a cheese board on tables. It will be held on May 15, and proceeds will go to CanInspire and White Ribbon. Tickets are $25.

Tougher bio-diversity legislation on its way By Sue Newman
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
The need for a dedicated bio-diversity officer for the Ashburton District is seen as urgent by a group charged with implementing the district’s biodiversity action plan. But the development of the role could be over-taken by government legislation in the shape of a National Policy Statement for Indigenous Biodiversity and this will
come with its own set of obligations the council will have to comply with, council chief executive Hamish Riach said. When the council’s community services committee discussed the request at Thursday’s meeting, Riach told them that the council would have to fund the costs of meeting those legislative requirements. The biodiversity advisory group
wanted a business case prepared for the position and for this to then be considered as part of the 20212022 annual plan but the government’s policy statement would certainly bring changes around bio-diversity laws before that happened, Riach said. “We’ll be confronted with issues and we may not need a bio-diversity officer to meet those obligations. The legislation is before Parliament
and when it’s passed there will be legislative requirements the council will deal with rather than going down this path.” Currently the council has a staff member who dedicates part of their working hours to bio-diversity issues. While councillor Leen Braam said he couldn’t see the point in pursuing the business case if government requirements would
change what was needed, group services manager Neil McCann said it would only take two days for information to be gathered and a case prepared. And with that case prepared it would give councillors an idea of the costs involved and it would be in a better position going forward when it dealt with the new legislative requirements, councillor Lynette Lovett said.

■■TOURISM
‘There will be job losses’ By Liu Chen The tourism industry is warning it is in survival mode, with businesses already feeling the effects of the latest travel restrictions looking ahead to the government’s support package. The industry is warning tens of thousands of jobs could be on the line over the Covid-19 coronavirus. Tourism Industry Aotearoa chief executive Chris Roberts said international visitors would normally be spending $350 million a week. “We are looking at that going down to zero within a few days,” he said. “We are certainly in survival mode and we are looking to the government’s business support package tomorrow because that will hopefully limit the damage. “There will be job losses, there will be businesses going under, and what we can do with the government’s support is limit the extent of that. “Even if the travel restrictions
are lifted in the future we’re not going to return to a normal situation, we’ll see the airlines cancelling planes ... we won’t have any planes, essentially, flying in and out of New Zealand either.” Tourism companies were already feeling the impact of the latest travel restrictions. Sam Sutton, from Rotorua Rafting, said most of their clients came from the United States and his business felt the effects as soon as the new restrictions were announced. “We saw a massive amount of cancellations come through overnight basically, but it’ll be another week or so before we see the full effect of it. I think we’ve refunded about 100 people so far.” Sutton said he was grateful that the virus did not hit New Zealand earlier, at the height of summer. “I think the tourism industry should be relieved that it came at this time of year. “Should it have been like two months earlier, it would have been game over for many oper-

Chris Roberts “We’re also now thinking we need to postpone the minimum wage increase on the first of April. “We understand the reason for having the increase but it’s just not the right timing, so that should be postponed to later in the year at least. “If the government can cover sick leave and self-isolation leave, there’s confusion about that at the moment about what happens if your workers have to stay home for two weeks. “Mental health services, because this is an incredibly stressful
time for employers and employees, they’re going to need mental health support. “Obviously no stand-down period for those who are laid off so they can immediately get some income support. “For our very good workers from overseas who are here on working visas, they need flexibility on those visa arrangements. “Currently if their hours reduce or they switch to another employer that’s not allowed and they’ll need to leave the country immmediately.” Wayne Jones has been running a restaurant in Akaroa for 17 years said he was very reliant on cruise ships bringing in customers. He said he had already lost the Chinese market and was expecting huge losses again as the new restrictions took effect. “I’d imagine 25 to 30 per cent of our summer trade all up was what we’ve lost so far, and what we’re potentially going to lose over the next sort of three, four or five weeks.”

ators, but ... it’s towards the end of the summer season, and we’ve had our busiest month for the year already.” Sutton hoped the government economic package out tomorrow would deliver a 50 per cent wage subsidy, and some tax flexibility would also help. “Even if the next tax payment, which is in April, if that was rescheduled to be next year, sometime after, we can recover from coronavirus that would be sweet then we can afford to keep our staff on for a few more months.” Roberts meanwhile had a list of things he hoped the government would provide for. “We hope there are deferred tax payments so that businesses can put off having to pay their tax,” he said. “We’d like to see relief from the myriad of government fees that buinesses have to pay, we now think here needs to be access to capital for small businesses, perhaps in the way of interest-free loans.

Rollercoaster ride in the markets
F
ew people who work in financial markets will be able to recount a week as volatile as last week. It truly was a rollercoaster ride for investors as global equity markets fell into bear market territory (down 20 per cent from recent peak prices), with fears over the potential impact of the coronavirus outbreak growing. Traders will be hoping such extreme volatility could mean the most turbulent period is over, although with something as unique as a virus-induced economic shock, few will be getting too optimistic. The NZX 50 slumped 14.0 per cent, the worst weekly performance in its history (going back to early 2001). The local index is down 18.6 per cent from its peak three weeks ago. It hasn’t fallen into an official bear market and is back at April 2019 levels. Somewhat surprisingly, despite the sell off the NZX 50 remains 4.7 per cent higher than a year ago. The top NZX 50 movers last week were Fonterra (-3.1 per cent), Mercury (-6.1 per cent) and EBOS (-6.3 per cent), while Vista (-31.3 per cent), Sky TV (-27.8 per cent) and Tourism Holdings (-26.1 per cent) fared worst. Local shares should theoretically start the week positively after Friday’s US rally. However, given news of further disruptions over the weekend, this might not be the case. Gold gave back some of its 2020 gains, declining 8.6 per cent last week and seeing it fall to mid-January levels.

ON THE MARKETS
For investors looking to take out some form of insurance against further bad news, gold is looking reasonable at these levels. The NZ dollar rose against the British pound, after the Bank of England cut interest rates. However, it fell 4.6 per cent against the US dollar, which will have softened the blow to local investors in US shares. The S&P 500 fell 8.8 per cent for the week, although that could’ve been a lot worst had it not been for a massive rally on Friday. After Thursday saw US shares fall 9.5 per cent (the worst day since 1987’s 20.5 per cent one-day collapse), the market rallied 9.3 per cent on Friday (the best day since 2008). US President Trump declared a national emergency, freeing up some $US50bn in financial resources to stem the impact of the virus. The S&P 500 finished the week 19.9 per cent down from the peak last month, although it had been down 26.7 per cent after Thursday’s horror performance. US shares are now back at February 2019 levels. Locally, the Q4 New Zealand GDP report is likely to be largely ignored this week. The December 2019 quarter
GDP report is out on Wednesday at 10:45am, with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand forecasting 0.4 per cent for the quarter and 1.6 per cent on an annual basis. The market is slightly more optimistic and is expecting 0.5 per cent and 1.7 per cent. Quarterly GDP reports are always somewhat dated, but this one is just about irrelevant given developments over the past month and the likely disruption over the next quarter or two. A few company results will be released locally, where the outlook will again be key. There are a handful of earnings releases on the local market this week, including the Fonterra interim result on Wednesday. Fonterra has been one of the better performers throughout the recent volatility. Briscoe Group, The Warehouse and Synlait are the other companies due to report. Markets will be more focused on the outlook from all of these, given how quickly things have changed in the last month and with earnings estimates being constantly revaluated at present. Early tomorrow morning we will see the results from the latest dairy auction. Dairy prices fell further at the last auction, although by a smaller magnitude than expected. The headline global dairy trade (GDT) index slipped 1.2 per cent, taking the decline over the past three auctions to 8.5 per cent. This sees it 4.5 per cent below where it began the year, and 7.8 per cent down from where it was 12 months ago.

A world away from Canterbury
hat little bubble we tend to live in where we often think the world’s problems aren’t really our own, well it could be about to burst and who knows what’s going to happen when it does. I’ve just returned from close to a week up in Auckland and to say the thoughts and fears surrounding Covid-19 and its impact on New Zealand are at a completely different parallel to what they are like here in Canterbury is an understatement. Spending a bit of time travelling around Auckland, using largely taxis and ride-sharing services and talking to those along the way suggested that this was a city on the edge.
Businesses are sitting at the cliff face, just waiting for the edge to crumble around them. There’s so much uncertainty floating around and no one really knows exactly where they stand in the grand scheme of things, but the common feeling seems to be hope, that this might just disappear as quickly as it arrived, although events over the past 48 hours would suggest it’s incredibly
unlikely that will happen. It’s hard to not to instill panic in people, especially when they are faced with something unlike so many of us have seen before and see the measures being put in place by the Government and health officials. Up north though, people are suspicious. Don’t you dare cough, sneeze or wipe the sweat off your brow or you could just find yourself staring down the barrel of an accusation. I sneezed in an Uber on Saturday and watched the driver reach for his face mask before drowning himself in a bottle of hand sanitiser, and he wasn’t the only one observed to take such measures either.

We’re a little more lackadaisical down here though, perhaps it’s the country roots. It’s that old, kick in the guts and she’ll be right attitude that generations have lived by for so long and it sort of feels like it’s a case of just going through the motions and seeing what might happen. Whether we can afford to be like that, I’m not sure. Despite the lockdown measures put in place at airports and self-isolation protocols which are now being enforced it seems only a matter of time before Canterbury becomes fully embroiled in this pandemic. That many people come through our part of the world on a daily basis and the ease in which
the disease can be passed from one person to another means the odds aren’t really stacked in our favour when it comes to keeping it away. And then we’ll be put to the test. Businesses are already putting contingency plans in place and discussing their options and some will be far more prepared than others. We can all do our bit by being as informed as we possibly can and by making sure we follow the advice coming from the Ministry of Health and from our leaders. If we take the right steps, not panic, but just be acutely aware of the little things we can do then we should be fine, but the fewer who are willing to try and help stop the spread, the worse it could get.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, March 17, the 77th day of 2020. There are 289 days left in the year. This is St. Patrick’s Day. Today’s highlight in history: On March 17, 1988, Avianca Flight 410, a Boeing 727, crashed after takeoff into a mountain in Colombia, killing all 143 people on board. On this date: In 1762, New York held its first St. Patrick’s Day parade. In 1776, the Revolutionary War Siege of Boston ended as British forces evacuated the city. In 1860, the opening shots of the first Taranaki War were fired when British troops attacked a pā built by Te Āti Awa chief Te Rangitāke at Te Kohia, Waitara. In 1905, the only surviving Maungatautari Bank cheque issued. The Maungatautari Bank was one of several set up by Māori in the decades after the New Zealand Wars to handle the money they were receiving from land sales. In 1936, Pittsburgh’s Great St. Patrick’s Day Flood began as the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers and their tributaries, swollen by rain and melted snow, started exceeding flood stage; the high water was blamed for more than 60 deaths. In 1958, the US Navy launched the Vanguard 1 satellite. In 1959, the Dalai Lama fled Tibet for India in the wake of a failed uprising by Tibetans against Chinese rule. In 1969, Golda Meir became prime minister of Israel. In 1970, the United States cast its first veto in the UN Security Council, killing a resolution that would have condemned Britain for failing to use force to overthrow the white-ruled government of Rhodesia. In 1973, US Air Force Lt. Col. Robert L.

Feds call for fiscal stimulus By Simon Edwards

worsening economic situation, cutting the OCR to 0.25 per cent. “We also strongly support its decision to delay implementation of its tougher requirements for bank capital to help the banking sector support the economy,” Feds President Katie Milne said. One bank has already agreed to immediately pass on the lower OCR rate to borrowers. Federated Farmers calls on other banks to follow suit. “We’re pleased to see the Government has signalled its intention for substantial action. “A broad-based fiscal stimulus is needed not just to support the businesses and workers in industries directly hit by the response to the Covid-19 outbreak but also more generally to provide confidence to consumers and
businesses.” The Government also needs to follow the Reserve Bank’s lead by deferring a wide range of policy and regulatory impositions coming down the pipeline that will harm the economy at the worst possible time, Milne said. This includes policies on freshwater management, climate change, biodiversity, RMA reform, minimum wage, immigration and others. “What’s needed is policy certainty, to give the primary sector and the business community generally a much-needed boost in confidence to keep operating, keep staff employed, and keep investing.” Also unhelpful would be the potential doubling of emission prices to $50 per tonne envisaged under the current ETS
Amendment Bill. “When businesses and consumers are doing it tough, the last thing we need is extra impost,” Milne said. Another early and vital action Federated Farmers proposes is a temporary waiver on the requirement for migrant agricultural workers to return home for 12 months before their expired visa can be renewed. “This will reduce the infection risk of new and returning migrant workers and make sure we have the experienced workers we need in our key export industry. “The primary sector is still our export powerhouse and it will become even more important for our economy and wellbeing as the tourism industry goes through an extended downturn.”

■■CANTERBURY BALLANCE FARM ENVIRONMENT AWARDS
Shifting negative perceptions reaps rewards for two couples By Heather Chalmers
heather.c@theguardian.co.nz
The achievements of two Mid Canterbury farming couples have been recognised as part of the 2020 Canterbury Ballance Farm Environment Awards. Beef and deer farmers, Mike and Nicky Salvesen, of Wakare, Mount Somers, received the Environment Canterbury water quality award and Beef and Lamb NZ livestock farm award at an awards presentation in Christchurch. The Salvesens entered the competition to help shift negative perceptions by demonstrating the positive environmental work being done by farmers. Their main farm runs calving cows and breeding bulls for dairy herds, deer for venison production and about 1000 lambs for finishing. A second block runs dairy grazers and wagyu beef. Genetic measurements were tracked as the business strived to continually improve the quality of its animals. Numerous improvements had been made to the property in terms of production and the environment, including a significant tree-planting programme. This includes planting 1500 new trees annually for the next 10 years. The judges were impressed with their commitment to sourcing and planting native trees, along with waterway protection that included planting and fencing. Also recognised were Mount Somers dairy, beef and cropping
Mount Somers beef and deer farmers Mike and Nicky Salvesen received water quality and livestock awards as part of the 2020 Canterbury Ballance Farm Environment Awards. PHOTO SUPPLIED farmers Richard and Chrissie Wright, of Tamar Farm, who received the Norwood agribusiness management award. The 1758-effective hectare property was self-contained in terms of stock replacements and grazing, ensuring a profitable and productive business with good biosecurity. A significant number of trees had been planted on the property, including shelterbelts, ornamental and native plantings. The farm
had responsible grazing practices and crop rotation and a focus on energy efficiency and technology. Judges said the Wrights had a good understanding of nutrients, with nutrient loss being protected on the farm’s river boundary. As the Wrights had purchased Tamar through sharemilking, they now strived to offer the same opportunity to the next generation of farmers, as well as providing options for family succession. Dunsandel dairy farmers Tony
Coltman and Dana Carver were named the supreme winners at the awards. The couple are equity partners in Canlac Holdings. Already a high-performing farm when the couple took over in 2013, their focus on good management practice has lifted it to another level. Under their tenure, the farm has significantly reduced its environmental footprint, including cutting nitrogen leaching by about 50 per cent – more than what is
required under ECan regulations – while remaining highly profitable. The couple were keen to leave the farm in top condition for future generations and have an ongoing planting programme under way that includes shelter and native plants. The farm’s effluent area has been significantly increased, while they’re continually improving the sophisticated irrigation system and maintaining soil fertility. The couple say they entered the awards to profile their sustainable business and demonstrate how farmers care for their environment. The judges commended Canlac’s strong business acumen and the amount of recording and monitoring. Southbridge large-scale vegetable grower Robin Oakley, of Oakley’s Premium Fresh Vegetables, also featured, winning three category awards. Operating over 400 hectares, Oakley’s is the main supplier of potatoes, beetroot, pumpkin and broccoli to one of the South Island’s biggest food chains. Oakley’s won the soil management, agri-science and innovation awards. In addition to the supreme award, Tony Coltman and Dana Carver won the people in primary sector, sustainability and stewardship, climate stewardship and wise with water awards. A field day will be held at their property in late April or early May.

MARKET REPORT By Guy Trafford It’s been quite a week starting with the World Health Organisation (WHO) declaring Covid-19 a pandemic, while this was inevitable and so not unexpected, it still sent a cold chill down the spine. This, combined with the declaration of widespread drought, did nothing to quell the feeling we are all going to ‘hell in a hand basket’. Then over the weekend the Prime Minister’s announcement of securing New Zealand’s borders put the previous announcements into the shadows. On the positive side of things the news coming out of China continues to show improvement in the food sectors with Alibaba’s food and parcel delivery arm up and running. Cainiao, of which Alibaba owns more than 60 per cent, is again at full strength after a few weeks during which the epidemic disrupted transport and held up shipments. Meal delivery unit Ele.me and grocery chain Freshippo are also back at full strength and operating at “full capabilities” at present, an Alibaba spokeswoman said. With King Salmon reporting on Tuesday that they were back to exporting product into China and reports that several of the Chinese airlines, which had been grounded, are starting to operate carrying freight, however it comes at a fairly steep price. Statistics NZ have published some provisional data which shows how exports into China are certainly lifting based upon dollar values.
While the cumulative values for February 2020 are down $142 million in 2019 the graph shows momentum is starting to kick in over the last five days of February. Given the increase on 2019 over 2018 it is likely that the potential loss over February exports to China are considerably more than $142 million but at least the line is now going in the right direction and should help to ‘mop up’ some of the next round of damage that will come out of Europe and the USA. With the silly season for politics about to descend upon us (providing it can break through the Covid-19 ceiling) Simon Bridges has come out proposing that National will have a major review of all regulations and eliminate two existing regulations for every one new regulation. In addition, he said that National would eliminate 100 regulations in the first six months. Presumably that means potentially 50 new ones. For most this is a laudable ambition although someone has already mentioned that National had nine years recently where they could have done just this. We also have a parliamentary committee called the Regulations Review Committee which is meant to make sure all new regulations “have been made fairly and are used consistently”. This committee is made up of three from National and three from Labour so there should, at least in theory, be a degree of oversight already. While the farming and food processing area is subjected to a raft of regulations there is certainly a large degree of overlap and therefore cost. An example of which I can recount is; to get a dairy item to market the milk is required to have regular testing at the harvesting stage (and audited), it is then pasteurised and tested (and audited) and then the end product is also tested (and audited). All of these processes cost money
with no regard to the size of the business involved. The public can be reasonably assured that product sold is safe to consume, however the cost of compliance is a major disincentive for new businesses setting up and even for existing businesses to invest in new products. One of the areas that grates on many people involved in dealing with MPI, who oversees all of these processes, is the cost and then the lack of accountability that accompanies this. While there is some variation with different processes the charge out rate is around $185 per hour, this charging philosophy continues right through to replying to emails or processing compulsory 3 monthly reports which may just say “there is nothing to report”. This rate is obviously based upon what the private sector charges for consultancy work and the like. The difference however between the private sector and the government agencies is that the private sector value their customers and seek to add value to the business in an aim to get repeat business. The government agencies with their monopoly have no such concern and to protect themselves for being exposed to limits upon their knowledge and ability have a policy of not responding to questions around technical advice and assistance. The standard response is to go to a specialist consultant for advice, and for this reply you are liable to receive a bill. Most can accept that a government department may not have the answers to all questions but then their lack of knowledge and practical help should be reflected in their charge-out rate. So, to go back to Simon Bridges and his statement that he is going to reduce the number of regulations I would suggest that instead he should be offering to look at the services provided and the cost of that service, or the lack of. Markets Despite the chaos that is ensuing around us the markets have remained remarkably calm with the schedule largely stable and saleyards also providing an outlet for stock unable to get to the works. Sheep All lamb schedules remained at the same levels they have been at for three weeks now and mutton is also relatively unchanged. This has been reflected in the saleyards and with a little rain around the province there was the hint of a lift in prices. This was disguised somewhat by the additional lambs coming onto the market from more ‘droughty’ areas which lowered quality. Wool Largely unchanged at its low levels and with little fine or merino wool being sold at auction makes it difficult to get a good gauge on their prices. Beef The cow schedule took a small reduction, typical for the time of year with the addition of cull dairy cows making it a buyers’ market. Saleyard prices appear to have softened slightly but it may also reflect quality. Judging by the North Island results breeders can expect beef weaner to be back somewhere between $100 -$120 on last year but drought conditions and resulting lower numbers make a real comparison difficult at this stage. Venison Venison is showing the effects of trading largely into Europe and the USA, with both blocks going into lock-down with Corvid-19 and killing any demand. The schedule for one processor dropped 30 cents per kilogram and I had to go back to late autumn 2016 to find lower prices than at present. Dairy The next Global Dairy Trade is this week and so it will be watched with interest to how well prices hold up. With China functioning again it may underpin prices to somewhere near their previous levels.

Proper papers, pretty pictures By Connor Lysaght
A
shburton Museum is home to countless documents, diaries, pamphlets and books – we seem to have examples of just about every kind of archival material relating to Ashburton District and its history. There are many things in our archives that are alike, and many that are unique. Art, for example, is almost always unique, as are letters and correspondence, while formal or legal documents are usually filled-out templates for the sake of practicality. However boring documents may seem on first glance, the more you look at them the more you realise that such documents can be admired in a similar way to art, if not for aesthetics then definitely for their purpose. A licence to listen Our lives seem to revolve around paperwork – things like licences, warrants of fitness, bills, contracts … and the list goes on! An example of an interesting licence document from the Ashburton Museum archive shown on this page outlines the legal terms of setting up an amateur radio station for receiving signals in the Wakanui area. This radio licence comes from 1923, an important year in New Zealand broadcasting history, as by the end of the year stations were broadcasting from all major cities across the country. Throughout the following decades radio became a primary source of entertainment and information for New Zealanders, and this popularity is easy to measure – you just need to look at the books. A relatively recent donation which made its way into our permanent archive collection were a ledger and a cash book from Buchanan’s Radio Sales/Service. In these finance books it is plain to see that radios were bought and serviced often at the shop, and Buchanan’s was just one radio shop in town. The fast few It is hard to imagine just how many driver’s licences are issued daily across the country. New drivers are taking to the
2
roads all the time, but this was not the case ninety-odd years ago. A snippet from the Guardian local news in February 1928 reports that there were 666 licences granted during the previous licensing year, and that two driver’s licences had been issued by the Borough Council in the past two weeks. Another piece from a November 1930 Guardian reports a figure five times this – ten motor driver’s licences were issued in the past two weeks! How they kept up with such ravenous demand, we will never know. Before automobiles, there was horse-drawn transport of course, which also needed to be officially licensed. A full excerpt from the Ashburton Herald, 28 July 1880 on this page is a response by R. Bird to a wild accusation regarding the registration, ownership, and purpose of a specific cab. If you were looking to be thoroughly confused by something today, this is the one to read. Dandy doodles If art and the types of documents previously discussed sat on a spectrum, then I imagine that art and documentation sit as far apart as possible. Looking at the more visually creative side of things, I believe it is high time to give credit not just to prolific artists but to the casual doodler also. While searching for ration booklets from the Second World War, I stumbled across a box full of New Zealand rough diaries in our archive. Flicking through a 1918 farm diary I came across a sad looking doodle of a man with some bits missing, wearing a hat. He is missing one foot and an arm, and his visible arm looks like it is wrapped up in a bandage. After a bit of discussion with Glenn Vallender, president of the Ashburton Museum and Historical Society, we came to the conclusion that the doodle may be depicting a returned serviceman with war injuries. Considering that the doodle was done around March 1918,

it is entirely possible that the drawing was of one of the diary owner’s friends who had come home, or somebody they saw around the district. Moving away from minimalism, we come to the drawings of Bobbie Barwell (nee Hickman), a well-known early Ashburton photographer. Barwell, who also took a photograph of Lake Pukaki that became the basis of the New Zealand five pound note, was also a keen artist as shown by the collection of drawings featured on this page. My personal favourite is the bottom-left drawing, captioned as “The Major” – everything from the monocle to the dirty moustache is perfectly fitting on such a man. These drawings, like the farmer’s doodle, were also an unexpected find for myself, serving as an important reminder that while things are knowingly catalogued and archived, they can still surprise new staff and researchers years on.

One day at a time for Walker Olympic BMX hopeful Sarah Walker says the New Zealand BMX team are trying to get their heads around how they will be affected by the latest impacts of coronavirus on the sport. Cycling’s governing body plans to retroactively use March 3 as the cut-off point for Olympic qualification in mountain bike and BMX racing as the coronavirus pandemic continues to decimate the sporting calendar. Road and track cycling have completed their qualification events, the last of which was the Berlin track world championships last month, but riders in the other disciplines had until June 1 to score enough UCI points. There is one cross-country Mountain Bike World Cup 22-24 May in the Czech Republic – New Zealand has currently qualified one male rider. The BMX Racing decision affects the double rounds in Lon-

Thirty-two players enjoyed the conditions with several good scores for stroke and putting. The winner of Round 2, Marion Marshall Trophy (Stroke) is Dorothy Knight with a score of 31. Runner-up is Colin Fleming with a score of 33. Well done, Dorothy, who has just returned after many months away! The winner of Round 2, Jean Drummond Trophy (Putting) is Val Ferrier with a score of 14. Three players had scores of 15 putts, necessitating a count-back, resulting in Kevin Walker being the runner up. Dorothy and Val won Sega Golf vouchers sponsored by Accountantz Ltd and runners up won Club vouchers.

Quispe-Kim topples top seed By Adam Burns
adam.b@theguardian.co.nz
Local tennis sensation Diego Quispe-Kim added another feather to his cap at the weekend. The 14-year-old won the Gala Cup men’s A grade singles final on Sunday, beating top seed and Mid Canterbury Tennis coach Jack Tiller in the title match at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre. He also was triumphant in the doubles, winning the A grade category alongside Cameron McCracken. Quispe-Kim, who was second seed for the two-day event, dropped only four games on his way to the final. He hammered Dallas Scott 6-0, 6-0 and followed up with another landslide victory over Connor Brosnahan 6-1, 6-1. By the semi-final stage, QuispeKim was humming and dispatched his doubles partner 6-0, 6-2. Tiller, meanwhile, had accounted for Lee Gilbert 6-2, 6-4 and fifth seed Tyler Leonard 6-2, 6-2. He was pushed by fourth seed Rhys Cromie in the first set of their semi-final showdown, but marched home in the second set to win 7-6, 6-2. Returning for the final on Sunday, Quispe-Kim commanded proceedings in the first set. Tiller fought back in the second set however had to concede defeat, going down 6-0, 6-4. The A grade women’s singles event was reduced to a winner-take-all match where Tessa McCann reigned supreme over Nishitha Maarka 6-0, 6-1 on the Saturday. In the A grade men’s doubles, McCracken and Quispe-Kim beat Cromie and Peter Leonard 6-2, 6-2. The pair beat Brosnahan and Tyler Leonard and Jason Feutz and Tiller en route to the final. In the A reserve grade men’s singles final, Matthew Hopkins triumphed over Lachlan Adam 6-3, 6-1.

■■MOTOR RACING
Cooper pipped at the post for MX1 title By Andy McGechan It took a fulltime professional from another country to finally bring down Kiwi hero Cody Cooper. Mount Maunganui man Cooper took his trusted Motul Honda CRF450 into battle at this year’s four-round New Zealand Motocross Championships knowing full well that he was a target, the No.1 emblazoned on his bright red bike the treasured reward for anyone who could beat him. With his winning of seven MX1 titles over the past nine years – his first one in 2011 – it was always going to be a tough assignment for any rider hoping to take that prize away from the Honda star. Cooper’s title defence this season got off to a rollicking start when he completely dominated the day at the series opener at
Balclutha in early February, his hat-trick of wins on the previously-untested circuit sending a clear message to his rivals. But his nearest challenger, Australian professional Kirk Gibbs, struck back at round two near Rotorua, clawing to within six points of championship leader Cooper. Round three at Fernhill was a disaster for Cooper as Gibbs scored a hat-trick and took over the series lead, so when the riders arrived at Taupo’s Digger McEwen Motorcycle Park for the final round on Sunday, Gibbs was five points ahead of Cooper and there was still everything to fight for. Cooper led from the start of Sunday’s first MX1 race and looked strong in front, until about two-thirds of the way through when forearm muscle fatigue (“arm pump”) became a problem for him and he slipped back to fin-
ish third, behind Gibbs and West Auckland’s Hamish Harwood. “I just couldn’t hang onto the bike,” the 36-year-old Cooper explained. With Gibbs a solid 10 points in front and just two races to go, Cooper needed a miraculous fight-back and there appeared a glimmer of hope when Cooper won the next race and Gibbs finished runner-up. However, the maths were simple and Gibbs knew that he only needed fourth or better in the final race for him to take the title. Cooper won that final race and clinched overall MX1 class honours for the day, but Gibbs settled for another runner-up finish and took the title, earning Yamaha their first New Zealand MX1 title in 12 years. Between them, Gibbs and Cooper won all 12 races for the
Cody Cooper MX1 class this season, but it was the two third-place results for Cooper in this campaign that proved his undoing. Cooper was gracious in defeat, paying tribute to his rival, but the Kiwi hero also vowed to win back
the title next season. “My grandfather died this week and so I didn’t do much riding leading up to Taupo. I had other things on my mind,” Cooper said, obviously drained both emotionally and physically. “We changed a few settings on the bike this week and we got it wrong, but we got it right for the next two races and the bike was awesome. “I’ll be back next year. I love this sport. I felt good on the bike and I’m now more relaxed than before. “I don’t have to prove anything to anyone.” If Cooper does regain the MX1 title in 2021, he will extend his number of Kiwi MX1 title wins to eight, although he’ll still be one short of New Zealand’s mostcrowned open class champion, Taranaki’s Shayne King, who won nine 500cc/MX1 titles.

McMillan again the star despite loss A gallant Ashburton College went down fighting in their one-day game against North West Youth Cricket’s 2nd XI. AshColl’s combined 2nd XI fell to a dramatic tworun loss at Christchurch’s Burnside Park with Seb McMillan again the star, both with bat and ball for the visitors, who were only able to field 10 players. North West were bowled out for 98 in 23 overs with McMillan (pictured above) taking 5-7 off his five overs. In the team’s past two games, McMillan has taken 12 wickets at 1.25. In reply, the under-strength AshColl team were bowled out (nine down) for 96 with McMillan, who came in at No. 10, top scoring with an unbeaten 29. PHOTO SUPPLIED
■■RUGBY
Ioane sending a message to the new All Blacks coach By Patrick McKendry Rieko Ioane has always wanted to play in the midfield, and, after a few false starts there for the Blues over the past couple of seasons, we’re now seeing why. Given he was overtaken by wing George Bridge last year in the contest for the All Blacks No.11 jersey which had been virtually his since 2017, Ioane’s increasing comfort at centre may be timely as new head coach Ian Foster surveys his backline options this year. It was Foster who took a punt on the then 20-year-old Ioane for the All Blacks against the British and Irish Lions three years ago and it was one that paid off spectacularly. With Ryan Crotty and Sonny Bill Williams now gone, it’s possible Foster could roll the dice again, particularly with Jack Goodhue looking comfortable at second-five for the Crusaders, although Anton Lienert-Brown and to a lesser extent Ngani Laumape also have strong claims to the All Blacks midfield.
Braydon Ennor is also likely to be a big mover this year. There will be those who think moving Ioane into the midfield for tests may be a move too far, but such has been his improvement for the Blues this season in a position which has intricate and challenging defensive demands that it can’t be discounted and it his pace which sets him apart. Ioane is so quick he can stand a little deeper on attack and if defenders over commit he has the speed to take advantage. He has also proven in scoring four tries in five games this year that he has lost none of his power. Ioane has also beaten 19 defenders and made 10 clean breaks. For a rough comparison, Lienert-Brown, who has played five games, has beaten seven defenders and made five breaks, although he has made more than twice the number of tackles Ioane has and with a far better success rate (90 per cent as opposed to 69 per cent). For Ioane, having assistant
Rieko Ioane is back in form, this time in the midfield. coach Tana Umaga, a former wing turned midfielder, close at hand is a huge advantage. “It’s a work in progress but
I’m extremely happy with how everything has gone,” Ioane said after scoring two tries in his team’s recent 43-10 victory over the Lions at Eden Park. “Tana has been working alongside me pretty closely so to have a man of his calibre and his expert advice is always handy, and our skipper today, TJ Faiane, marching us around the field has been awesome.” Ioane said Umaga helped with the little things that may not be obvious from the sideline, for example the depth on attack and the quick catch and pass. More obvious is the way second-five Faiane, a 24-year-old, is helping run a backline which is looking increasingly assured. In many ways the Auckland captain, who led the Blues well on Saturday in the absence of the rested Patrick Tuipulotu, is the team’s unsung hero. “He’s a glue to the backline and the team,” Ioane said. “He brings the most energy and the boys really respect him for someone so young.
“He’s increasing his game and I look forward to bigger and better things in the future.” There are other reasons to be cheerful for Ioane and a Blues team who don’t know when they will next play due to the coronavirus pandemic which has put a halt to Super Rugby. Not only have they moved to fourth on the table after four consecutive wins, they are playing with a composure and style which they used to be associated with during their glory years in the early days of Super Rugby. The form of halfback Sam Nock, outstanding against the Lions, hasn’t hurt either. “He’s been playing that way since he left school,” Ioane said of his team-mate. “He and I left the same year. He’s always been a ball of energy and to see him finally get some regular minutes and to play like we know he can is awesome. “A lot of it starts at training; he’s running the most kilometres in training … all that hard work is paying off.”

“It was probably just a bit short of his best. He is screaming out for at least a mile to 2000m. He was finishing on really good. He was lucky they ran the race really hard, so that suited him. “He is above average and we knew he wouldn’t be far away. “It’s a bit hard to match up the form of horses from one end of the country to the other, but it just goes to show there isn’t that much difference between racing all over the country,” he said. While Tyler was delighted with Lightning Jack’s performance, his day got even better when Feel The Rush added a Group One placing to her resume.
“That was huge,” he said. “She has been screaming out for a mile and a half since the spring, so to get her over 2400m we were really confident.” When you are based at the bottom of the South Island, campaigning horses in the north can be a massive undertaking, but Tyler said giving his horses enough time to settle in to their new surroundings is key. “It’s a long way to come,” he said. “Those horses spent 20 hours on the float to get up there. “We went to Riccarton and stayed there for a couple of days and then crossed on the ferry on

Phoenix to stay in Australia Football Federation Australia has confirmed that the Wellington Phoenix will play the rest of their A-League season in Australia. Because of the new travel restrictions surrounding the coronavirus outbreak and the two week stand down period, the Phoenix general manager said it would be impossible for them to continue in Wellington. The FFA has also confirmed that the A-League will continue with games played in empty stadiums. “This is an unprecedented time and extremely complex for the sport and society at large,” FFA chief executive James Johnson said. The Phoenix will be basing themselves in Sydney as they go through
the period of self-isolation. The FFA said the Phoenix’ two games this week against Sydney and Newcastle will be rescheduled. Over the weekend the New Zealand government said that travellers entering the country must self-isolate for 14 days due to fears over the coronavirus. Phoenix coach Ufuk Talay had said it would make sense for the FFA to suspend the A-league for a period. “I believe it needs a break to let this settle down ... and I think everyone knows what they need to do moving forward,” he said. “I just think common sense should prevail. The first thing to the forefront should be player safety.

“We don’t have the final decision and if the league decide that the games have to be played and we need to be over in Australia to play then that means we need to go.” Star player Ulises Davila has decided to stay with the side despite the recent birth of his first child in Mexico, while there could be a question mark over former Socceroos defender Luke DeVere, whose wife is due to give birth within the next two weeks. The Wellington Phoenix were in impressive form in their last home game of the season, beating the Melbourne Victory 3-0 in Wellington. The Wellington club extended their winning streak to four games with a classy effort against Victory, record-

ing their fifth clean sheet of the season and it’s the first time Wellington has won four in a row since March 2015, and only the third time in the history of the club. The Phoenix were never threatened by the visiting Victory, thanks to two first-half goals by Ulises Davila and Gary Hooper which put the home team comfortably in the lead, before the margin was extended to 3-0 thanks to David Ball’s heroics. In recognising the one-year anniversary of the Christchurch Mosque shooting, both teams stood around centre circle prior to kick-off, bowing their heads in silence as Dave Dobbyn’s Welcome Home played throughout the stadium.

Your Stars

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’re a realist, an excellent quality, though not always the easiest as it has you doubting yourself more than the next person. If you must doubt yourself, follow up by arguing for yourself in a big way. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Inappropriateness creates impact, but the wrong kind. Saving the day is impactful but hard to follow up. Brainstorm about how you might make the kind of difference that favours your aims. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Ancient Greek philosophers defined passion as an emotion based on a false sense of reality. Perhaps, though nations have been built on false senses of reality, so don’t let that stop you. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Schools of fish and flocks of birds often behave as a single creature. The animal instinct to meld with the group mind is primordial. Resistance is possible but not so worthwhile today. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’ll create instantaneous rapport. In an act of quantum emotional intelligence, you skip through years of getting-to-know-you trepidation and land in moments of intimate familiarity. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Your engine runs on desire. To be this excited about a potential outcome is a rarity for you, and certainly nothing to be dismissed. Document the moment in pictures or writing. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): There’s something about blue that soothes the soul, whether it’s the sky, the water or the crying sound of one who sings out the existential angst. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Touch base; call home; get back to your roots. Much will be the same whether you check in or not, except that your heart will be different. It will fortify you to keep up with your people. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Your qualifications on paper will have little to do with actual life. Feeling successful is a matter of making personal connections interpreted through your senses, not just through your intellect. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): A purpose-driven life may be the ideal, but it’s not the constant. You don’t always have to be aware of your purpose. Sometimes your purpose is just to relax and be a part of the fabric of existence. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Make yourself happy. When you have fun, so do others around you. You might be surprised about the difference you can make with your special brand of joy. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Relationships run on more than just love. Sure, love matters, but so does taking out the garbage and other business of domesticity and common courtesy.

RURAL LEGENDS
Sarah O’Reilly has made an indelible impression on the track, constantly racing Champion harness racing driver Ricky May has made a miraculous recovery from a medical event suffered during a race in January. PHOTO CARYS MONTEATH the best harness drivers in the country. By Matt Markham

Two Mid Canterbury harness racing identities found their names up in glowing lights on the weekend when they were recipients of awards at the New Zealand Rural Sports Awards in Palmerston North on Friday night. Junior driver Sarah O’Reilly and harness racing legend, Ricky May, were recognised at the award ceremony, with O’Reilly picking up the Young New Zealand Rural Sportsperson of the Year award and May won the Lifetime Legacy award. Local rural commentator and judge for the awards, Craig Wiggins, said that both results were
well received by everyone in attendance at the ceremony and with a strong harness racing presence in the room, they made their appreciation well known. It is the first time anyone from the harness racing industry has won an award at the ceremony but Wiggins said both stood out to the judging panel – particularly, O’Reilly. “She was up against world champions,” Wiggins said. “But what stood her out from the rest was the length of time in which she was successful and the element of uncertainty with not knowing what horses she would drive. “And the line-up of drivers she
had to compete against too.” O’Reilly cleaned up at the National Competition by becoming the 2019 New Zealand Junior Driver Champion and one of the Top 12 Junior Drivers in New Zealand – going on to claim the 2019 Australasian Young Driver Championship, becoming one of the top 10 drivers in all of Australasia. May was nominated for the Lifetime Legacy award 12 months ago and just missed out on the top prize, but there was no doubt this year. It’s been a remarkable 12 months for May personally, with his well-publicised medical event during a race at Omakau early in
January in which he died, but was brought back to life. Wiggins said while it was reflected on during the presentation, his efforts as one of the greatest drivers in New Zealand harness racing history is what ultimately saw him crowned the winner. The seven-time New Zealand Trotting Cup winner has been at the top of the pile for drivers in New Zealand for decades and is already looking forward to a return to the sulky in the search of 3000 career driving wins later this year. “Ricky doesn’t need much of an introduction. “He’s done the talking on the

track for a long time, but one of the key things in his success was the work he does with the Methven Trotting Club in helping them run the farm.” Other award winners on the night included Allan Oldfield who was crowned Rural Sportsman of the Year for his bladeshearing feats. Steph Tweed, a New Zealand dog trial champion, won Sportswoman of the Year while renowned journalist Doug Laing was awarded the Contribution to Rural Sport. New Zealand netballer Casey Kopua won the Outstanding Sports Person from a Rural Background award.
