BACK BEHIND THE WHEEL Twenty-seven years after last racing a jetboat and fresh off the back of some positive news relating to his health, Simon Bagrie got back in the boat on the weekend. Bagrie made sure his return was an extra special occasion by competing in the Norm Bagrie Memorial, a race named after his father, at the Rakaia River on Sunday. And the fact that Bagrie had his son, Matthew, sitting in the navigator seat made the adventure one he’ll never forget.

Time to celebrate at 206 Club They call themselves the 206 Club, and you’ll find them at 206 Cameron Street. And this week, they turned 30.

To mark the special occasion long-time volunteer Rosa Bennett gave a short speech then cut the birthday fruit cake, flanked by fellow long serving volunteers Anne Fleming and Shirley Patterson.

Bennett spoke of what a big part the 206 Club had been over the twenty-eight years she cooked the midday lunch.

When congratulated on her commitment to the club’s kitchen, Bennett said it was her passion for the people that kept her going.

“If you have passion for something you will carry on to the best of your ability, if you don’t have that passion your commitment disappears pretty quickly.”

Bennett’s Christmas dinners of hot ham, vegetables and desserts with fresh strawberries are still talked about with fondness today.

“Life is unbelievably short, so enjoy it and take care of each other. You are such precious people and I think of you often,” said Bennett.

New to the group on Monday was Barbara Inglis, who arrived with daughter Brenda Perry for moral support.

Inglis can no longer drive, so a social club like this is the ideal way for her to get out of the house and meet new people, she said.

“It is about filling in my days, as living by

The 206 Club has its roots in 1986 when Bennett, Dr Baker and Owen McDowell formed a steering committee to explore starting a club to provide company and

lunch to the elderly once a week.

Fast forward a year and under the banner of Aged Persons Welfare Council the club first opened its doors in September that year.

Thirty years later and the club now meets three times a week and is proving more and more popular.

M. bovis case confirmed in Mid Canty

By Heather Chalmers heather.m@theguardian.co.nz

A Mid Canterbury dairy farm has been confirmed as infected with the cattle disease mycoplasma bovis.

The dairy farm was initially detected during the August bulk tank milk screening programme, M. bovis programme director Stuart Anderson said.

Mid Canterbury has two active confirmed M. bovis farms, with the other a beef property. The cases are the only two infected farms in New Zealand. Nationally, the other 249 previous cases have all been cleared of the disease.

While active confirmed cases

had dwindled to only one nationally, before this latest case, a small number of new M. bovis cases were expected to be identified over spring.

“This is what we have seen in previous years, as August and September are the months where the highest number of milk samples are submitted for testing,” Anderson said.

“When farm owners find themselves the subject of a biosecurity investigation, it can be a difficult time. The M. bovis programme will do all we can to ensure the sampling, testing and other actions required occur in a timely manner and that support is available.

“A key factor in how farmers

work through this, is the support they receive from their neighbours and the local community.

Having a strong support network helps make the experience less challenging, so we strongly encourage you all to work together to support each other and look out for your neighbours.”

From June to August, 13,379 tests were conducted for bulk tank milk (BTM). Of these tests, 53 farms required further on-farm investigation. BTM is a screening test which looks for antibodies, an indication that an animal in the herd has been exposed to M. bovis. Further tests and analysis of the farm’s risk profile are required before determining if a farm is confirmed infected or not.

The on-farm investigation for August was more than 80 per cent complete, with the Mid Canterbury dairy farm the o n l y c o n firmed infected property to date, Anderson said.

M. bovis was first detected in New Zealand in July 2017, after cattle in a South Canterbury dairy herd began displaying symptoms of a novel disease. Since then 158,150 cat-

tle have been culled and $174.6 million paid in compensation to farmers in a bid to eradicate the disease.

Shock poll raises red spectre

By Susan Sandys susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Rangitata voters are leaning left as General Election 2020 approaches, a poll suggests, raising the spectre of a tide of red washing over the electorate.

Historically Rangitata is a National Party stronghold, but shock results of the poll undertaken by the Ashburton Guardian show the possibility of a swing in the Labour Party’s favour.

Labour’s Jo Luxton came out on top as the favoured candidate, slightly ahead of Megan Hands. The majority of 154 respondents to the Political Poll for Mid Canterbury, which was undertaken via a link from the Guardian’s Facebook page, said they would give Luxton their candidate vote.

This majority was 44 per cent, or 67 people, compared to 40 per cent, or 62 people, who said they would give their candidate vote to Hands. Six per cent (nine people) said they would give their vote to another candidate, while 10 per cent (16 people) said they did not know what candidate they would vote for.

Poll respondents favoured Labour even more so when it came to who they would give their party vote to.

The majority of 42 per cent (65 people) said they would give Labour their party vote, while just 32 per cent (50) said they would give National their party vote, while 21 per cent (32) said they would vote for another party and five per cent (seven) said they did not know what party they would vote for.

Ashburton District has been part of a National stronghold since 1938, following Horace Herring of the Labour Party winning the Mid Canterbury seat in 1935. Last election in 2017 National’s Andrew Falloon obtained 54 per cent of the candidate

votes, defeating Luxton who received 37 per cent. His majority was 6331 votes. At the previous election in 2014, National’s majority was even more impressive, with Jo Goodhew 14,107 votes in front of Labour’s Steve Gibson.

However, the Guardian’s poll is far from scientifically based, and just how much the results reflect the reality will not be known until election day on October 17.

Political expert Dr Lara Greaves at the University of Auckland said the results of the poll were “quite surprising”.

However, it was possible Labour Party supporters shared the poll more widely or “swamped” the poll.

Respondents were not randomly selected nor did they have an equal probability of being selected, Dr Greaves said.

“For a political poll to be scientifically valid, we need to randomly select from the population. That is either call, door knock, or post to a random sample of people in the Rangitata electorate,” she said.

“What happens with online

She believed the most effective electorate MP was the electorate MP whose party was also in government.

“As a List MP, your resources are limited as opposed to an electorate MP. I feel I have worked really hard the last three years, and advocated successfully for the community in many of the projects we have seen come through, and I just know I could do so much more if I was the elected MP,” Luxton said.

Hands said she was confident National would retain Rangitata,

polls, like those on social media, stuff.co.nz, and Vote Compass is that certain people gravitate towards these polls that are different from the voting population and they bias the results.”

Luxton, who is a List MP based in Mid Canterbury, said the results of the poll were “encouraging”, but she was not taking any cue from it in terms of what it might reflect come election day.

“Obviously I’m definitely campaigning two ticks red, it would be a huge privilege to be the electorate MP,” Luxton said.

and that she would take out the seat. “The Labour government’s policies like over-burdensome freshwater regulations and more red tape for small business will cripple our district,” Hands said.

“We need a government that will back communities like our’s, and an MP who is hard working and a strong advocate for our community.

“The campaign will continue to ramp up as we get closer to election day and I continue to receive fantastic feedback everywhere I go,” she said.

Bagrie back behind the wheel

By Jonathan Leask jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Simon Bagrie knows all too well about the challenges that life can throw at you.

The Winchmore farmer has just come out on the other side of three years of hell after battling cancer but is slowly, but surely coming right and is out to make the most of the opportunity he’s been given.

And on Sunday that meant turning back the clock and racing a jet boat for the first time in 27 years.

Making the occasion even more momentous though was the race itself, named after his late father Norm and the fact that Bagrie had his son, Matthew, sitting in the navigator’s seat beside him.

“It was very special to be back there and being part of it, and even more so to have my son by my side so I’m pretty proud of that,” Bagrie said.

Running the same number 373 his father raced under, the Bagrie duo made Norm proud on what was a special day for the family.

Norm Bagrie was a well-respected jet sprint racer, most famously leading the world marathon race in 1980 only to suffer a broken piston gudgeon pin on the final leg.

Simon had raced with his father up until 1994, the year Norm died from cancer, and then only raced twice in 1995 before giving it away.

After “a rough few years” Bagrie decided it was time to get back in the boat.

“The last three years I’ve had a bit of a run of bad luck with cancer and stuff and just come alright now so decided to live life and enjoy it.

“So, I decided to get back into it.

“We built a boat up and away we went.

“The best place to start was in dad’s race.”

When he decided it was time to get another boat and get back racing, he asked his son if he

wanted to get on board as the navigator.

“He jumped at the chance.

“It was his first time in a race boat and he did quite well.

“There was no practice, it was just straight in the deep end and he knew what to do.

“I let him know what to look for and what to tell me and he listened and did really well.”

Racing had to be held over from Saturday due to a fresh that pushed its way down from the mountains, delivering hundreds of cumecs of dirty water to threaten the event.

However, by Sunday the river had dropped, the water cleared and with the sun striking the snow-capped mountains the racers set off in the Norm Bagrie Memorial Race.

It was mission accomplished for the Bagries, getting from A to B and back again in one piece – with a couple of boats failing to reach the finish line.

“We got through to the end with no problems and that was the main objective for the weekend.

“Especially being dad’s race I didn’t want to mess up and make a fool of myself.”

They didn’t just make up the numbers either, they were competitive – finishing fifth out of the 10 boats, which bodes well for the next step – tackling the New Zealand Jet Sprint Marathon in November.

“We are going to give that a nudge.”

It will involve three river races in Otago and then a return to the Rakaia River before the final leg along the Waimakariri River.

“We have five weeks for a bit of practice and fine-tuning.”

Sunday’s race along the Rakaia River was the first since the Jet Boat Marathon was cancelled back in March due to Covid-19.

The Norm Bagrie Memorial Trophy was claimed by North Canterbury’s Mike Pooley, who set the pace on the way up the river and maintained his speed on the way back down to take the win.

It’s official, Kmart is coming our way

By Sue Newman sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It’s been the worst kept secret in town, but yesterday it became official – Kmart is coming to Ashburton.

In a ceremony that was long on informality, the teams from Tricroft Properties and Kmart turned the first sod on the South Street site with contractors, and two future tenants of the suite of buildings, Coffee Culture and Couplands joining in the celebrations.

Tony Gilbert, general manager for the Williams family property investment business said the

project had been a long time in the making, and reaching the point where it became public property was incredibly exciting for everyone involved.

“This is just the starting point and we’re looking forward to delivering a quality development that will be fantastic for Mid Canterbury,” he said.

While Kmart will be the complex’s key tenant, there will be up to 13 food and beverage tenants on the site.

“We’re in negotiation with a number of other food and beverage operators and we’re getting quite close to signing deals, but there are still opportunities for a

few more to come on board, Gilbert said.

Jason Picard, Kmart country managing director and Jeff Broomfield, national property manager said that Ashburton had been a key destination on their development map for some time.

“We’re all about bringing low prices to the community. We take a long term view with our stores.

We looked at this site three and a half years ago and we believe in situations such as Covid-19 KMart is what a community needs,” Picard said.

A location close to a supermarket created great one-stop shop-

ping opportunities, particularly when food options were included, Broomfield said.

Coffee Culture owner/director Mike King has been eyeing Ashburton for a store for about 10 years. The Tricroft development presented the perfect opportunity, he said.

“We’re very selective on sites and they’ll have some great food and beverage offerings here. This is a great opportunity to bring something new to Ashburton.”

Coffee Culture has a 21-store national network, with most outlets in Canterbury. It has been part of New Zealand’s hospitality scene since 1996.

Couplands is also confirmed as a tenant and while it might have been trading in Ashburton for many years, owner Lance Coupland said relocation into the new Kmart complex offered a great business opportunity. The business was founded in 1971 by his father Ray and is now in 26 sites around New Zealand.

Work on the Kmart complex is expected to start mid 2021 and to be completed by the end of 2022.

Thompson Contracting will be the main construction contractor. The company has worked with Tricroft on several other projects, while Ashburton’s ACL is also part of the contract team.

DISTRICT COURT

Alcohol, irritation a bad mix Trent William Roulston had done everything to turn his life around and address his propensity for reacting, said lawyer Roz Burnside in the Ashburton District Court on Monday.

The 28-year-old bricklayer was sentenced to four months’ community detention, 12 months’ intensive supervision and ordered to make a $2000 emotional harm payment.

It was on a charge of assault with a weapon, in relation to an incident on June 8, 2019 at

the Brown Pub in Methven.

Roulston had reacted badly and wrongly after himself being pushed and shoved, and was seriously remorseful, Burnside told Judge Stephen O’Driscoll.

He had stopped drinking and going to pubs, and was supported in court by his partner and mother. He had a current job and character reference from his employer.

Judge O’Driscoll told Roulston that the summary of facts indicated himself and the vic-

tim were known to each other.

About 1am both had been consuming alcohol when the victim was interacting with him in a boisterous manner, grabbing at his hoodie and nudging him over a period of time.

Roulston emptied his glass of beer onto the floor of the pub, then struck the victim on the left side of his face twice with the glass.

The victim stumbled backwards and nearby patrons and staff intervened, the defendant left the scene with associates.

The complainant sustained shallow lacerations to his cheek and ear and later found he had a broken cheekbone which required surgery.

The defendant had previously been before the court for assault, in 2012 and 2015.

“I think you have hopefully learned that alcohol is a significant contributing factor towards violence and if you cut down on the alcohol and continue your employment, you are unlikely to reoffend,” His Honour said.

Warning to be more careful after crash Others to appear in front of Judge O’Driscoll on Monday.

“Be more careful in future Mr Wilson,” said Judge O’Driscoll to defendant Michael Maxwell Wilson.

His Honour was sentencing the 50-yearold on a charge of dangerous driving.

Wilson was heading south towards Ashburton on the Methven Highway about 5.30pm on May 15. He was about 10 kilometres away from Ashburton when he overtook the car in front, driving into the path of an oncoming Ford Ranger utility.

The driver of the Ranger did not receive any injuries, and Wilson was probably fortunate he was not injured more than he was, Judge O’Driscoll said.

Lawyer Marilyn Gilchrist had told the court the defendant had been heading home from work when the crash happened, and injuries included a fractured hip, damaged shoulder and ribs, and lacerated ankle. They were multi-trauma injuries requiring a hospital stay.

He had no third-party insurance, so was paying about $18,000 for the vehicle.

Judge O’Driscoll convicted and fined Wilson $800 and disqualified him from driving for eight months.

Matthew Jack Stott was remanded on bail to November 16 for sentencing on two charges.

Stott pleaded guilty to assault on a person in a family relationship and resisting police. The charge had been transferred from Christchurch.

Kane Regan Beattie pleaded guilty to common assault. He was convicted and remanded on bail to October 19.

Te Ra Turoa Tapara, 37, was sentenced to 150 hours community work and disqualified from driving for 12 months and one day on his third charge of drink driving.

Tapara was stopped on West Street on August 14 and found to have a breath alcohol level of 497 micrograms per litre

face with an open hand in what he called a self-defence move, the duty lawyer said.

Gordon James Gibson pleaded guilty to a charge of common assault.

Judge O’Driscoll convicted and remanded the 43-year-old heavy vehicle driver to November 16 with bail to continue.

Jesse Hemi, 21, was remanded without plea on a charge of contravening a protection order, to October 5. of breath. He was also convicted of drink driving in 2010 and 2015.

Birthday drinks turned to bad news for Michael William Gye on September 3.

In the Ashburton District Court on Monday, the 49-year-old self-employed builder was convicted and fined $800 and disqualified from driving for 28 days and will be subject to an alcohol interlock order.

He was found to have a breath alcohol level of 812 micrograms per litre of breath on Archibald Street, following celebrating his birthday.

It was his third drink driving offence, the last two being 20 and 30 years ago respectively.

Aneli Helu Katea was remanded to November 16.

He pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified, refusing a request for blood and failing to attain injury in a non-injury accident.

Judge O’Driscoll convicted and discharged Mark Stewart, taking into account factors including he was the one who phoned the police on the night the incident occurred.

Stewart had pleaded guilty to a charge of common assault after his partner attacked him when they were living in the North Island.

He was holding their two-year-old child at the time, and he struck the victim in the

Thomas Ryan Greer, 24, of Ashburton appeared on several drugs charges including the importation/exportation of ecstasy and importing LSD. He was remanded, with bail to continue to October 19.

Jareth Pierre Lowe was sentenced to 12 months’ supervision after pleading guilty to one charge of speaking threateningly.

The court heard he used threatening words when his victim was looking at another man.

Eric Victor Steven Brown pleaded guilty and was convicted on a charge of assault with intent to injure. The 33-year-old was involved in a fracas at the Ashburton pool complex on February 11.

Judge O’Driscoll remanded Brown to November 2.

Richard Grant Olds pleaded guilty and was convicted on a representative charge of assault and a charge of wilful damage.

He was remanded on existing bail to November16.

Matthew John Harrison, 42, tattooist, pleaded guilty and was remanded on bail to November 16 for sentencing on two charges.

They were assault on a person in a family relationship, on September 10, 2019, and escape from police custody, on October 21, 2019.

A shocking experience Beverley Anne Blair, 82, was convicted and discharged for careless driving causing injury.

In the Ashburton District Court on Monday, Judge Stephen O’Driscoll disqualified Blair from driving for six months, however, this period has already finished as His Honour backdated it to the date of the offending.

Blair was driving south on West Street on February 13 when she proceeded through the roundabout at the intersection of Walnut Avenue. On exiting she drove up onto the left side kerb and struck the victim, who was standing on the sidewalk waiting to cross the road.

The force of the impact threw the victim in the air and several metres away from where she was initially standing.

The woman suffered extensive bruising to the lower half of her body, and cuts and bruising to her right arm.

Blair pleaded guilty at an earlier court appearance.

Lawyer Paul Bradford told Judge O’Driscoll on Monday that the experience of coming to court had caused his client a great deal of angst, and the whole experience had been a terrible shock to her.

As well as seeking a conviction and discharge, he asked that the disqualification period begin from the date of the accident.

Judge O’Driscoll noted Blair’s licence was revoked on June 9, and while a doctor had now certified she was safe to drive, she would not be able to get her licence back until authorities gave their permission to do so.

Judge O’Driscoll told Bradford the problem with backdating the disqualification period to the date of the accident was that the defendant had been driving between then and June 9.

Bradford said he believed his client could call on years of good character and the fact that the emotional trauma of going through the court process was punishment in itself.

Judge O’Driscoll said taking into account the defendant’s age, the fact she had paid $2500 to the victim for costs incurred and emotional harm, which was something many offenders did not do, and the fact she had no previous convictions and that she would not get her licence back until authorities deemed it was safe, he backdated the disqualification period to February 13.

“I don’t know what caused this to occur, but if you don’t feel confident driving and you think you might be a risk to others then you need to make a decision about your licence,” Judge O’Driscoll told Blair.

“I know it’s a hard decision but you would feel very, very sad if you were here before me today if that person was killed instead of injured,” Judge O’Driscoll said.

Bookarama overbooked

By Jonathan Leask jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Looking for a book? The Rotary Club of Ashburton have got you sorted.

So much so in fact, that organisers believe that the book piles for this year’s Bookarama could possibly be the biggest in terms of donations on record.

With a lot of the tables already filled at the Sports Hall ahead of Monday’s opening, the Rotarians will be busy for the rest of this week getting things in order and sorting through the late deliveries.

Rotary Club convenor David Mead said there had been an amazing community response to requests for donations, and the collection boxes throughout Mid Canterbury have never been so full.

“It’s probably one of the best years we have had,” Mead said.

up having to stockpile for next year.”

The influx of books could be an upside of the Covid-19 lockdown, Mead said, with people spending part of the several weeks spent at home having an overdue clean out – to the benefit of the Bookarama.

“That’s some of it, I think, but people seem to be back reading more books now too.”

Whatever the reason, it is making for a busy week for the many hands sorting out the books.

They had a plan in place in case of having to operate under Alert Level 2 restrictions, but Mead said Monday’s confirmation of the move to Alert Level 1 will make things a lot easier when the doors swing open next week.

With the swathe of books, puzzles, DVDs and more, it could be a record year for the club’s lucrative fundraiser with the funds pumped back into the community.

It’s probably one of the best years we have had.

– Rotary Club convenor, David Mead “And they are still coming in.”

The amount of books received has meant they had to close some of the drop-off points earlier than usual, but people were continuing to drop books off directly to the Sports Hall.

“There are some great books there too. It seems to be a pretty good standard.”

“If they keep coming we might end

“We certainly have the books, now we just need the people to come along and buy them.”

The doors will open at the Sports Hall at 8am on Monday, and then from 9am for the rest of the week – with late nights on Thursday and Friday.

Bookarama will then finally close its doors at midday on Saturday (November 4).

Record numbers tackle Peak to Pub

By Jonathan Leask jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Record numbers competed in the 21st annual Peak to Pub, but some familiar faces led them into Methven on Saturday.

With a lot of events being cancelled due to Covid-19, race director Richie Owen said they had a massive turnout with 248 individuals – 185 men and 63 women – and 96 teams.

“I guess people just wanted a little piece of normality,” Owen said.

“People just jumped on board, even weeks ago when we communicated we would still run the event under Level 2 the response was just awesome.”

Normally a well-patronised event with regular starters, Owen also said it was great to see so many newcomers to the event this year.

Among the hundreds of competitors, it was two former winners that led the individual fields in.

New Zealand mountain bike representative Ben Oliver blitzed the course in 1 hour 13.36 minutes.

Oliver had previously taken out the event in 2018.

Defending champion Flavio Vianna had to settle for second, just over a minute back from Oliver, with Cameron Jones in third.

Oliver, who competed at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, took the lead on the mountain bike leg with Vianna putting in

the hard yards on the run to catch up, but couldn’t close the gap.

Methven’s Julia Grant was the first female home in 1hr 28.28mins to defend her title – her fifth win in six years.

Sarah Gilbert ran in second with Kerryn Jansen third.

As usual, the races started at the summit of Mt Hutt, 2086m above sea level, with a short snow run leading into a 2km ski down to the car park, followed by an 18km bike ride down the ski area’s access road.

Then it’s the 12km run – featuring the short swim across the Rangitata Diversion Race – into Methven to the finish line outside the Blue Pub. Owen said the major difference this year was racing under Alert Level 2, with race organisers enforcing social distancing rules at the start and finish of the race.

“We are lucky to already be operating at this level, some of the adjustments we made were based around spreading out numbers and crowd management.”

They also held a virtual race briefing, which was pre-recorded and posted online, competitors started in waves, and there was no prizegiving.

“Although we couldn’t have the normal party vibe at the famous Blue Pub finish line, it was still great to see people get on board and back this event,” Owen said.

The event has sold out in the last two seasons and continues to grow in popularity he said, and if there are no restrictions next year it could get even bigger.

Competitors prepare for the start of the 2020 Peak to Pub.

A joy to be back at the Plains

By Heather Mackenzie heather.m@theguardian.co.nz

The Plains Vintage Railway and Historical Museum had a delightful day on Sunday.

Chairperson Lorayne Oakley said their belated Father’s Day open day was a huge success.

“It was wonderful to have the public back here again. It was a really special day, with lots of happy smiling faces everywhere.

“This was our first open day for six months because of Covid. It is hard to believe it has been that long, where does the time go?”

Oakley said they weren’t sure how many people to expect under the Alert Level 2 restrictions, but she and fellow committee members needn’t have worried as the event proved just as popular as ever.

“We had people come down from Christchurch and up from the bottom of the South Island to attend.”

One couple had travelled from the North Island and made a long weekend for themselves, exploring the delights of Mid Canterbury.

Oakley knows the 1877 Rogers K88 steam locomotive always makes for a spectacular drawcard as it chuffs its way out of the station.

Looking wonderful, it is hard to believe it spent years languishing unloved in the Oreti River, until it was rescued in the 1970s and fully restored.

The younger set didn’t fully appreciate the old world charm of the K88 whistle. A sharp blast was met

with lots of hands over ears or littlies scurrying to find a parental leg to cling to.

Nasty whistles aside, there was plenty on offer to keep them entertained, bouncy castles, fire engine or bulldog tractor rides and the model railway display in the function room all added further value to the outing for young and old.

Oakley said in keeping with Level 2 restrictions hand sanitiser and contact stations were set up in easy to spot locations.

Ticket holders for the K88 had to wait an extra few minutes between trips so volunteer helpers Alison Lewis and Lauren Tate could give all the high contact areas a good clean.

“Everybody was really good and didn’t mind the wait at all. Alison and Lauren were amazing, we couldn’t have run the day without them,” Oakley said.

Open days are the bread and butter for the museum and vital for its existence.

“Because we are a volunteer organisation we do not quality for any government transitional funding, but our bills still have to be paid.

“Hopefully it is business as usual from now on.”

The next open day is going to be held on Monday, September 28, to coincide with the street mardi gras and Bookarama.

“That is South Canterbury anniversary day so we are hoping to attract everyone come along and see what we have out here,” said Oakley.

The restored 1877 K88 steam locomotive made an impressive sight at The Plains Vintage Railway and Historical Museum at their open day on Sunday.

Will your retirement savings be enough?

By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

T

he subject line of the email was enough to make me shudder – Will your retirement savings be enough?

Emails come and go through here pretty rapidly some days, I can guarantee on most days anywhere up to 100 will ping through, but few caught my attention as much as yesterday’s surprise packet.

Perhaps it was the broad-ranging nature of the question which actually created more questions than it did answer.

How am I supposed to know?

What’s the economic climate going to be? When will I die, because that’ll be a huge factor in whether I’ve got enough money tucked away or not, the questions were limitless.

Knowing the email was from a trusted source, I opened it.

Intrigued.

It told me how much money I’d have in my Kiwisaver by the time I reached the age of 65.

The figure looked impressive and I began planning an around the world trip for some time in the next 30 odd years.

Gee, I was excited.

Then I looked at the next column, and it told me how much I’d have roughly per week if I was to live to the age of 90 and the trip pretty quickly changed to a mad dash up to Christchurch to have fish and chips on the New Brighton pier.

While wholesome and plentiful, if I was to live to the ripe old age of 90 – using the numbers available to me, I’d be living on a pittance per week.

Barely even enough to get by to be honest.

And so, it got me to thinking. How many people out there are going through life in the hope that their Kiwisaver account will be their godsend when it comes time to hang up the work shirt and live a life of leisure?

I know I’ve got friends who are banking on it and if they got the same email I did yesterday, they’ll potentially be scratching their heads a bit and perhaps rethinking their plans.

I presume, based on the number of them that I know of, that it’s a similar situation for a lot of people out there in our community too, especially those around the same age as me.

Perhaps it’s worth more than just a second thought.

YOUR VIEW Te Reo In response to the letter from Coby Snowden on Saturday, September 19.

Yes Coby, you are probably right.

I am probably just a grumpy old codger affected by a ‘deep depression’ coming across the

Tasman, but I don’t want to start a ‘political’ argument with you.

However, I am prompted to remember an old saying : “You can always have too

much of a good thing! “ Have a good day.

OPINION 13

Gone by lunch time!

“G

one by lunch time!”

That’s a headline grabbing comment we have all heard from politicians from all sides of the political spectrum, most recently Judith Collins and David Bennett regarding the new water reform regulations.

But it got me thinking. What should be gone? What might have gone already? And what might be gone if we get this wrong?

Unfortunately, it appears to me that one thing that has gone during the last couple of weeks, is a focus on improving waterways.

We should all be using our collective willingness, knowledge, and influence to find solutions and work out ways of applying them to best achieve improved water quality.

Instead we find ourselves investigating the unintended consequences of a shoddy piece of legislation that is short on clarity, contains clear inaccuracies and in parts is simply unworkable.

Those responsible are now spending time and resources to make changes where obviously needed, but still defending large parts of the document, further delaying real and sustainable solutions being found.

By Murray Holdaway From the Farm

Gone also, I believe, is much respect between two groups of people who ultimately are key to finding and applying solutions – farmer and government. For the pastoral sector to be excluded from genuine input earlier, and the so-called consultation being conducted in a less than genuine way, was always going to be problematic. We are now seeing the result of those poor decisions.

What could be gone if we get this wrong? Well, New Zealand’s clean and green image, a reliable supply of drinkable water, recreational use of many waterways, aquatic life as we know it today, pastoral farming in New Zealand as we know it today, economic stability of our small trading nation, social wellbeing particularly in rural communities.

This is a complex issue with many significant long-term implications for all New Zealanders. We cannot afford to try and reduce this issue to a single focus like swimmable waterways nor can we afford to allow the discussion to be dominated by emotion. It is simply too important for New Zealand. We do need to make progress on

finding solutions, yet we need to ensure sufficient time to not only get the solutions right, but to have strong consensus on the solutions.

What I hope is not gone by lunchtime, is the option of having effective legislation as part of the solution. We do need to change, do things differently from the past and it is a fact that change will be resisted. Setting minimum standards in legislation will probably be required, but the legislation must meet principles to be effective.

We need to be sure that the regulation will achieve the intention. They need to be clear, measurable, and understandable. Can they be enforced effectively, and do we fully understand the consequences, both good and bad, on economic and social outcomes.

On a number of counts the recent water regulations do not pass many of these tests.

What I fear is quickly going, is the goodwill of farmers and the rural community to work with national and regional authorities to find real lasting solutions.

If that is to be fully restored, the farming sector will need to be included and involved in discussions, and the significant progress already achieved needs to get genuine recognition.

What I hope is gone by lunchtime, is the approach that forced regulation is the only way to get the results we all want.

I got accused of being a drug mule since ‘the dog is never wrong’

By Caitlin Cherry

I

obey the speed limit, always indicate, pick up fallen bicycles and if I get undercharged at a shop I let them know, but I still got accused of being a drug mule.

Once when I was taking my niece to visit family in Melbourne a beagle jumped on my cabin bag, giving me a heck of a fright. It turned out the beagle could just smell fruit residue (of course I wasn’t carrying any) so I now wash out all my bags before I travel, just in case.

About five years ago I went with a friend to Europe for three weeks. My return flight home from London had a stopover in Vancouver, so I stayed for two nights to visit another niece who lived there.

We had a great couple of days eating too many pancakes with maple syrup and watching the tattooed hipsters with manbuns talk about going to craft beer festivals. Then I hopped on my 14-hour Air NZ Flight to Auckland.

My seat was right at the back, middle row next to two large moto-cross riders who kept laughing at me as mishaps occurred. My screen kept stopping and having to be re-set by the impatient flight attendant, who ended up gesticulating so much he hit my face, scratching across

Caitlin Cherry (left) with her niece Sophie in Vancouver. my cheek with his fingernail.

As we neared Auckland around 5am I downed a couple of weak instant coffees before alighting the plane to get my luggage. By that point the coffee was doing its work and I needed to use the bathroom. I got my suitcase off the conveyer belt, went to the toilet, then headed towards the queue for Customs.

A cute black dog rushed up to me, sniffed my bottom and then sat down beside me. I went to pat it then realised, oh no, you don’t do that, then oh shit, then oh wait it will be a fruit dog, we’ve done this before! But it sniffed my bum?

The grim-faced Customs officer stood a foot from me “Do

you know why the dog sniffed you?”

I leaned forward and whispered “Is it because I just did a poo? I did eat some fruit recently.”

The man gave me a cold stare, “This is not a fruit dog, this is a drug dog.”

The world went wonky. The two moto-cross guys walked past, chuckling to themselves.

ME: But I haven’t taken any drugs!

MAN: Then you’re concealing drugs.

ME: What? I don’t even take drugs. (I am physically shaking at this point and almost in tears.)

MAN: Well my dog has smelled

drugs, so either you’ve taken them or you are concealing them.

ME (desperately trying to make sense of this): Well … I’ve come from Vancouver where cannabis is legal, could I have sat on something on the train to the airport??

MAN: No. ME: But it has to be something because I haven’t had any drugs and I would never carry them!

MAN: You’ve either taken drugs or you are concealing them.

ME: This makes no sense, this makes no sense.

MAN: Look, I don’t care if you’ve taken drugs ok, I only care if you are concealing drugs, are you concealing drugs?

ME: NO! ME: So you’ve taken drugs?

ME: (confused) Do you want me to say that I’ve taken drugs?

MAN: Only if it’s true.

ME: It’s not, I don’t even like drugs, I’m too highly strung! I can only handle one coffee a day.

MAN: Well you’ve either taken drugs or you are concealing drugs.

ME: Your dog must be wrong!

MAN: The dog is never wrong.

ME: (realising I am in a vortex) But I haven’t done anything.

MAN: The dog is never wrong.

I thought back – the dog hadn’t sniffed my suitcase, so

no-one had planted drugs in it, it sniffed my bum, and there was no way anyone had planted drugs in my bum without me knowing, therefore I could be proven innocent! I wasn’t going to be the new Schapelle Corby!

ME: Look, I don’t want to miss my flight to Wellington, I haven’t seen my kids for three weeks.

If you are going to search me then can we just get it over with! (I am picturing the snap of the latex gloves.)

MAN: (looks confused) ME: Can we get this search done, coz I don’t have much time.

MAN: Oh just go.

ME: What?

MAN: (sighs) Just go!

I scurry off to the long Customs queue – everyone from the plane is staring at me, the drug mule.

The moto-cross riders roar with laughter and let me in front of them in the line.

Naturally I was gripped with fear every time I went overseas from then on – to the point of photographing the contents of my suitcase at the airport before checking in. But I’ve never been stopped since.

I will never know why that dog sniffed me. Had someone tipped some drugs into the toilet before I used it? Had some hipster café in Vancouver put cannabis in my kale salad without my knowledge? Who knows?

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Whatever judgment you are having about another person, chances are you have the same one for yourself, though more acutely so. It’s a good reason to find something to like about each person you meet.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’ll bring something special to the task just by intending to give it your all. You don’t have to go out of your way to be original – just do what comes naturally.

Originality is your birthright.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): We experience millions upon millions of words, many of which, however right for the moment they may be, are soon forgotten. To be memorable, do more than talk. Paint pictures.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Put your mind to it, and there’s nothing you can’t turn around. A relationship that used to be on shaky ground now has a chance to become steady – if that’s what you want.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You don’t have to have it all together to help another person; you only have to be one step ahead. You’ll give whatever resources you have and bring good fortune upon yourself.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): There is no way to separate “best” from “worst” as they are just different ways of seeing the same aspect of a thing.

So, delve into whatever is bothering you. Find, acknowledge and leverage the advantage.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Distraction is a very effective way to avoid pain, though the avoidance of pain usually resolves nothing. Follow breadcrumbs left by your latest distraction to some truly worthy self-knowledge.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): There are actions you can very easily choose or not choose. Then there are compulsions, which you feel powerless to control if you are even aware of them.

You’ll have luck taking those on today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Feelings don’t need to have some profound meaning to have value.

The face value of a feeling is simply that it is feedback data. Feelings reflect your current position and point to possible next moves.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Maybe there are things that you would have understood if you had devoted more time to them, but your impatience has also led to many sound, fast and timely decisions. Accept all. Move on.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): If everyone says it’s wonderful, it might be. Or, it might be dangerous, as things that take away critical thinking usually are.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The more you learn, the surer you are about what you’re learning. It’s a sign – not that you’re right but that you have possibly become biased and will learn most from people who disagree with you.

Cue more farmer bashing

O

nce again, right on cue for the election there has been another round of farmer bashing, this time by the Green Party veiled as their “agricultural policy” and taxation policy.

I have been reflecting on the launching of the Green Party agricultural policy trying to quantify the feeling of hopeless that I and many farmers feel.

So let’s unpack this a bit.

How our business works is we have a farm income, that is the culmination of all the stock we sell and the grain and seed crops that we grow and sell to processors as it eventually makes it way to your local supermarket.

Out of that income, we pay our farm expenses, seed, fertiliser, fuel and electricity, farm supplies, and various services.

Most of this expenditure benefits businesses in our local town Ashburton and across the wider Canterbury economy.

Once we have sold our produce and paid for our expenses, there is hopefully a wee bit left over, which is what most business owners refer to as their return on investment (ROI).

The Greens intend to impose

Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers president, David Clark is a columnist for Guardian Farming which is out next week. In this month’s column he ponders the recent agricultural and taxation policies released by the Green Party. Here are his thoughts. a “wealth tax” of 1 per cent over $1 million and 2 per cent over $2m.

Calling it a wealth tax is almost to cast shame or embarrassment on those who would be paying it, whereas in reality it is an “asset tax”.

I did an exercise of the impact of the asset tax on my own business. It was very sobering.

I challenge each of your to do the same, add up your total equity from all sources, work out your earnings before interest and tax from your business as a percentage of your equity and then deduct the “wealth tax” at the aforementioned rates. I bet you will find as I did, a 2 per cent tax on equity makes a big hole in your ROI. The Greens then plan to “charge a fair price” for the methane burped by our livestock.

I have previously heard prices of $50-$250/tonne of carbon

equivalent suggested by the Greens, but let’s say at the low end of that range, our Climate Change cost just for methane from our sheep will be 1.5 per cent of total assets annually.

That makes an even bigger hole in any surplus.

The Greens intend to develop a water charge in consultation with iwi.

Previously the Greens have stated that charge should be 10 cents per cubic metre.

David Parker publicly stated an intention for a water charge of 2 cents per cubic metre.

Here at Valetta, even at the lower charge of 2 cents per cube, the cost of watering our arable crops would be another 0.4 per cent of total assets annually.

Now we are heading into loss-making territory.

The Greens then want to impose a levy on fertiliser, want us to run a zero-till or

Truck available for shingle spreading if required.

Cost effective alternative Established 1985

minimum-till system and adopt regenerative principles.

But here’s the clanger, they intend to impose a dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) level of 1mg/litre for all waterways in NZ. Currently water flows out of DoC land at the western side of Mid Canterbury at 3.2mg/l.

To meet a DIN of 1mg/l, Environment Canterbury’s own report from 2017 found that land use in the neighbouring Selwyn Te Waihora catchment would have to revert to dryland sheep grazing.

We have budgeted that impact on this farm and it looks like this: Crop income, down 92 per cent, sheep gross, down 62 per cent, expenditure, down 70 per cent, wages, down 91 per cent, EBIT, down 68 per cent, capital re-investment, down 74 per cent, net profit, down 105 per cent and tax paid, down 75 per cent.

The actual numbers are irrelevant, because the percentage drops will be seen across many or most farm businesses, regardless of size.

Of course, that is before any of the other new taxes and levies they wish for detailed above, but it won’t leave much in the way of

profit to be spent in Ashburton that’s for sure.

This conversation hasn’t even begun to touch on the significant investment in technology and infrastructure we have made in the last 15 years to reduce our environmental impact, all of which would be both unaffordable, and irrelevant because none of it will get us even close to meeting the limits the Greens wish for.

The end result of all this is we would now own a totally unviable, un-bankable business that is not much more than a glorified lifestyle block and has no economic future in food production.

The knock-on impact is that land values will collapse, at which point the asset tax would cease to be much of a concern.

My suggestion to anyone in urban New Zealand reading this is to enjoy and savour the standard of living that you currently enjoy, make diary notes, take photographs so that you can look back on the “good ole days” as we embark on our journey to becoming a Zimbabwe or Venezuela of the South Pacific.

It was not sensible policy announced, it was the framework for economic destruction.

The shows that must go on

By Heather Chalmers heather.m@theguardian.co.nz

The West Coast’s Farmlands AgFest 2020 remains on track to be held this November, despite several spring Canterbury A&P shows, including Ashburton, deciding to cancel in response to uncertainty about restrictions on mass gatherings.

AgFest will be held at the Greymouth Aerodrome on November 13 and 14, Canterbury Anniversary weekend.

The biennial event was postponed in March due to the Covid-19 lockdown. With other agricultural events cancelled due to ongoing restrictions, the opportunity to shift the event to spring meant thousands of people could attend the first major agricultural event reconfirmed for 2020, said co-owner Andy Thompson.

The event had grown by 20 per cent since the announcement of its new dates and all pavilion sites were sold out although there were limited grass sites available.

In its fifth year, Farmlands AgFest has grown into the largest agricultural event on the West Coast, with 15,000 visitors through the gates at the last event. By scheduling the event for Canterbury Anniversary weekend, it hoped to attract Canterbury people that would normally attend the Christchurch A&P Show.

While it was a traditional agricultural field day event, it also doubled as a trade show for the West Coast, so included a lot of retail sites, Thompson said.

“We know that Cantabrians do like to come to the West Coast on a long weekend.”

The revised November date was a oneoff change with AgFest reverting to March or April in 2022.

The West Coast’s AgFest is still going ahead on Canterbury Anniversary weekend, even though several A&P shows have cancelled.

PHOTO SUPPLIED While several spring A&P shows have been cancelled, including Christchurch, Ashburton, and Rangiora, some individual events normally held in conjunction with these will still be held.

Following the cancellation of the Ashburton A&P Association’s annual two-day show, some events normally held as part as part of the show will now be held by individual sections, including alpaca judging, Tux dog trials, Highland dancing and most likely show jumping.

The Northern A&P Association’s two-day show in Rangiora will not go ahead at Labour weekend as the committee decided the financial risk was too great given it was unsure what alert level the region would be on show day.

The Ellesmere A&P Association’s annual Selwyn Spring Show has also been can-

celled. Instead organisers said they would concentrate on celebrating its 150th anniversary on October 16, 2021.

Following the cancellation of the Christchurch Show, a Show Saviour campaign generated just under $100,000 for the association, meaning it was able to meet all its obligations, save some money and look positively towards utilising the remainder for planning a triumphant return in spring next year, event director Geoff Bone said.

While the November show will not go ahead, some Canterbury A&P Association competitions will still be held.

Canterbury Agricultural Park in Christchurch will host dressage, showing, hunters and show jumping events in an equestrian competition on November 12 and 13. This was a reduced scale competition and will not offer the breadth of sections and classes the association usually hosts at the New Zealand Agricultural Show.

As the competition will be run over two days, instead of the three usually offered at the show, the number of sections had been reduced.

The shearing committee will be running a competition at Marble Point, North Canterbury on November 5 and 6.

The popular BBA Boar competition will be held this year, but as an exhibitor only pig event on November 13, at the Canterbury Agricultural Park.

Beef and dairy cattle and youth sections will also be held. Dairy will be hosted onfarm with prizegiving at the park on November 13. All other events will be hosted at the park.

An alpaca event will also be held with judging held on November 2 for fleece and November 13 for breeds at the park.

A NZ aromatic wine competition, chaired by Jim Harre will be held on October 10-11. Entries are open now and close on October 7.

NETBALL

IT’S A FAMILY AFFAIR

By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

For a multi-skilled netball family, it was only a matter of time before the clan would all be involved in the same game.

This scenario transpired for Suzy Arnold and her two daughters during a busy night at the EA Networks Centre on Thursday, as premier netball finals took to the court.

Oldest daughter Charlotte Blundell (17) is a member of the Methven Shearmac premier 3 team which Arnold manages.

Following a thrilling 3rd and 4th place play-off which Methven clinched by a mere goal, Blundell shifted into umpire mode, where she officiated her younger sister Georgia Blundell’s premier 2 playoff for Methven B. Adding to the family colour, Arnold stepped in as primary caregiver for the Methven B team on the sideline, as the team claimed the 5th and 6th play-off over Celtic C. “It was kind of a first that I was on the sideline as part of the bench, and Charlotte was umpiring and Georgia

was playing,” Arnold said.

“They’ve umpired each other before, and they’ve umpired together.”

Both siblings volunteer in the Saturday morning junior competition, with Georgia (15) coaching a Year 5 team.

The pair also mentor young and upcoming umpires coming through the programme.

Arnold joked that there was no preferential treatment among her daughters when umpiring each other’s games.

“No, I think they’re tougher,” she laughed. “There’s a few dirty looks.

“They both know what it’s like being on both sides, so they both accept whatever calls are made.

“They leave it all out on the court.”

With both enjoying a high involvement in the local game, their proud mother was glad to see the pair give back to the sport they love.

“I’m very proud of my girls,” she said. “They go out there to win, but they’re good sports and they’ve given back through umpiring and coaching and met a lot of amazing people along the way.

Proud mum Suzy Arnold is flanked by her daughters Charlotte (left) and Georgia Blundell during premier “It’s a win win.” netball finals night last week.

RUGBY LEAGUE

Baabaas round up the Cowboys The Ashburton Barbarians made a statement in the Aoraki Rugby League competition on Saturday, outclassing the Country Cowboys at Hampstead.

In a top-of-the-table clash, the Barbarians ran out 52-32 winners over the defending champion Cowboys.

The Barbarians produced an impressive first half to blow the Cowboys off

the park scoring six tries to lead 32-0 at halftime. It was much tighter in the second half, with the Cowboys outscoring the hosts 20-0, but the damage had been done in the first half.

Xavier Bartlett scored a hat-trick with Lima Savaiinaea and Semisi Lei both scoring doubles.

Devon Thompson and Atolofi Lapa

also got on the scoresheet while Savaiinaea kicked six of the side’s eight conversions.

Meanwhile, the Chertsey Oilers put in an improved effort, but were still well beaten by the Timaru Outlaws 12-72.

The Oilers were no match for the Outlaws, who picked up a crucial win to keep in contention for the final.

Semisi Lei celebrates on the way to the try line in the Ashburton Barbarians’ big win over the Country Cowboys at Hampstead on Saturday.

For the Oilers Ioseia Iaalavaau scored a double.

In round three the local derby has the Barbarians and Oilers clash in Rakaia, with a win putting the Barbarians into the final unbeaten to secure home field advantage.

They will face the winner of the Timaru derby in the grand final on October 3.

Back on the horse

By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury United gave their supporters something to cheer about last weekend by capping their home season off in style.

The hosts clinched their fourth win of the year, handing Universities a 2-1 defeat at the Ashburton Domain.

The win was one of the high points from a varied weekend of football results in Mid Canterbury.

Youngster Nic Eden drew first blood for the home side, before Universities found an equaliser.

Luke Martin’s late strike proved to be the difference as United held on for victory.

Man of the match Tom Dudley, who has missed a portion of the season through injury, produced a top-notch performance at the back.

The reserves were comfortably beaten earlier in the day 5-1, with Parker Bradford netting one for the home side.

The division 4 team let a win slip from their grasp when they drew 3-3 with the Halswell United Bombers.

United were well placed at halftime, up 3-1 following a first half brace from Nic Ross and a further goal from Nehal Chandra.

However thei unravelled in the second half as Halswell got two back to escape with a draw.

Meanwhile Methven were edged 2-1 in Christchurch by fellow senior division 2 contenders Western AFC Roar.

The visitors began strongly in the first half, but their valiant defensive markers were unable to keep the Christchurch club out.

Methven defaulted to Halswell in senior division 7.

Shootout secures final berth

Mid Canterbury United’s high flying youngsters will be hoping for some lively home support this weekend, after a semi-final cliffhanger won on penalties.

The 15th grade youth side had to come from behind against Cashmere Tech at the Ashburton Domain on Saturday before the semi-final was forced into a penalty shootout.

“Everyone’s hearts were racing,” United coach Richard Ward said.

The home team found themselves down 2-0 early in the first half before United got one back before half time.

The team then proceeded to get on top, finding an equaliser in the process.

“They’ll never give up, these boys,” Ward said.

“We make up with what we’ve not got in natural ability in some areas, we make up with grit and determination.”

However a winner would continue to evade the team, with a late breakaway goal disallowed as the score remained locked at 2-2 at full time.

United then came out the other end of the shootout winning 6-5 to book a place in this weekend’s final against Selwyn United, who beat top-of-the-table Coastal Spirit in their semi.

The team were promoted from the 15th grade’s division 2 to division 1 earlier in the season.

With only the three losses this season, United finished the regular season in second spot.

“We’ve done pretty well,” Ward said.

“There’s some young kids in there, especially when you see some of these teams up in Christchurch.”

Mainland Football is yet to confirm the venue of this weekend’s final, however United should be granted home advantage for Saturday’s final, with Selwyn finishing fourth on the competition ladder.

A winning double for the owning, training and driving trio of Viv Barrett, Michael Heenan and Sam Ottley highlighted another successful weekend of harness racing action for local identities.

And now the trio are in line to tackle one of the biggest races on the early calendar this weekend, with up and coming trotter Superfast Lad. The son of Heenan’s resident stallion, Superfast Stuart, made full use of a saloon run in the trail at Oamaru on Sunday to win impressively, capping off some strong form in recent weeks.

There’s no doubt the trotter has strengthened right up this season, and Heenan has made the decision to throw him into the deep end this weekend by taking on the open class trotters in the Group Three DG Jones Banks Peninsula Trotting Cup. It will be a massive step up, but reverting back to the grass – a surface Superfast Lad has raced well on in the past – will allow the unknown quantity to give his much more qualified rivals a shake should the opportunity present itself. His win on Sunday followed on from an upset performance

by Sister’s Delight at $28-to-one at Addington. Well supported at Methven the week before, the diminutive pacer went bang at the 100-metre mark to dash past rivals and win impressively, adding to an already great month for Barrett, who had enjoyed success with Minelli Smile.

Few could rival the effort of Ashburton Racecourse-trained pacer Jazzy Star and his impressive victory on Thursday night.

The Brent White-trained runner came from near last with Ricky May in the bike to blouse past his rivals and win with consummate ease, underlining his already wellknown talent.

White has a decision to make with the pacer owned by locals Dave and Gaye Luke, and it’s whether to try and get the pacer’s standing start issues sorted, or to stick solely to the mobile starts.

The answer to that question will be the difference between a shot at the New Zealand Trotting Cup in November, or a dig at the Junior-Free-For-All at Addington on the same day.

May was recognised at last week’s Harness Racing New Zealand Awards with his return to the sulky after a near-death experience at Omakau being highlighted as the moment of the season.

John Morrison was also on stage at the awards ceremony, claiming the Junior Drivers’ Premiership title.

Morrison is well on the way to adding a third title to his list of achievements, and hit double figures in terms of wins for the season on Thursday night when he was victorious with Only In America for Mike DeFilippi to see him reach 10 wins for the season.

RUGBY

Hammers hunt down Old Golds

By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

Hammers’ coaching staff are mindful of a North Otago backlash this weekend after they were outgunned in Hinds at the weekend.

Mid Canterbury ran out a comfortable 30-7 win over last year’s Meads Cup champions where the home side seized their opportunities during a match dominated by the whistle.

“It was a stop start game and probably didn’t feel like we should have had as many points on the board as we did,” coach Jason Rickard said.

“We were probably a bit lucky with two or three of those tries.”

The home team got off to the perfect start on Saturday when second five Paovale Sofai dotted down after about 30 seconds.

Hammers wing Raitube Vasurakuta caused problems for North Otago all afternoon, and it was evident he was going to be a handful within the opening moments leading up to Sofai’s five-pointer.

A breathtaking length of the field effort would occur a few minutes later.

When North Otago looked odds on to score in the corner, Vasurakuta pinched the ball in the tackle, then hared down the left flank from his own goal-line, evading several defenders to score the first of his two tries.

Despite the flying start to the match, the first half descended into a scrappy affair, where penalties and handling errors would dictate as Mid Canterbury claimed a 15-0 lead at the break.

It was more of the same in the sec-

ond half, however Mid Canterbury’s big ball-runners did the damage when required as Vasurakuta, Inoke Tonga and Seta Koroitamana added tries in the second spell.

“While we’re not overly happy with the way we performed in some facets, we still accumulated 30 points,” Rickard said.

Although Mid Canterbury asserted itself at scrum time and defended strongly throughout, the lineout was a point of concern, which Rickard and Dale Palmer would be focusing on remedying ahead of the return match in Oamaru this weekend.

Seta Koroitamana cuts a menacing figure as the Mid Canterbury scrum takes on their North Otago rivals on Saturday.

PHOTO HEATHER MACKENZIE 190920-HM-921 “They had some useful loose forwards.

“I thought their openside flanker (Marcus Balchin) was outstanding and very disruptive.”

With no import players and loan players admissible in the truncated Heartland competition, Rickard said it was hugely gratifying that an out-an-out local squad was performing so strongly against major Heartland outfits.

“We think it’s a marvellous thing,” he

said. “While it’s only a four-week campaign, we’ve been able to blood 21 new guys, which is huge for the union and they’ve put their hands up and shown what’s possible by keeping it local.

“To be able to knock over the defending Meads Cup champions is fantastic.”

Scorers: Mid Canterbury 30 Raitube Vasurakuta (2), Paovale Sofai, Inoke Tonga, Seta Koroitamana tries, Nathan McCloy conversion, penalty.

NETBALL

Juniors add to Hampstead’s trophy cabinet

By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

Further silverware has been added to Hampstead’s chock-a-block trophy cabinet following junior netball finals.

Hampstead’s junior A team were comprehensive in an all-club decider, beating the junior Bs 42-15 in the junior A competition finale.

Earlier in the day, the club’s junior Blue team took out the intermediate B title after a 26-8 win over Rakaia.

It caps a notable week for the club, after their premier 1 and under-18 sides secured their respective competitions on Thursday.

Several other trophy recipients were settled throughout the morning.

Allenton won the junior B title, courtesy of a 20-7 win over Hampstead’s junior C team.

In the intermediate A grade, Wakanui took out a thrilling final over Methven 20-16.

There were a couple of nailbiting 3rd place play-offs during the morning’s action.

Methven pipped Southern 35-34 in the junior A playoff while Ashburton beat Hampstead’s junior Gold side 12-10 to claim third in the intermediate B grade.

Other third placegetters across the categories included Methven (Junior B) and Allenton (Intermediate A).

SQUASH

Squash ladies showcase skills

The Head Women’s Sunday Tournament provided an opportunity for local game support as the ladies strutted their stuff at the Ashburton Squash Club at the weekend. Players of all abilities were welcomed to get amongst the action, where spot prizes and afternoon tea was offered. Each player got a total of three games during the event. Although It was a more low-key affair with Covid restrictions still in place, organisers said it was less about the results and more about the women “having a go”. The day also served as a fundraiser for the Ashburton C grade ladies SuperChamp Finals. Donna Brown (right) follows through as Karen Nieman awaits.

CROQUET

Competitive croquet returned to Ashburton on the weekend when South Canterbury and Canterbury clashed at the Waireka Croquet Club on Sunday.

As the sport emerges from winter hibernation, the match proved a perfect start to the competitive season for players and action was fierce throughout the day between the two sides.

Playing doubles, over three rounds – 14 players from each association were in action and it was the South Canterbury side, featuring a number of local players from Waireka, Allen-

ton and Methven Croquet clubs, which made the strongest start.

After the first round of play, they were in front by 17 points, winning the first round 98-83.

Things tightened up considerably in the third round though with Canterbury bouncing back to win the round 94-80 to narrow the margin to three.

With everything to play for in the final round of the day and every point critical in the overall standings, South Canterbury were unable to repel the charge

of Canterbury who stormed through to win the final round 92-74 and in doing so claimed the overall tie with a 269-252 score line.

Logan McCorkindale and his playing partner were one of the stars of the day with two wins and a draw from their three matches.

Ashburton Bowling Club

On March 24, I posted my weekly article for this newspaper, appraising readers of our latest results, but sadly concluding with the news that, like the rest of our country, Ashburton Bowling Club was closed for business for the foreseeable future.

Well, as from this past Saturday September 19, we are up and running again!

We may have only one green available to us until the 27th November (for remedial work on the other green), but necessary tweeking of fixtures has ensured that everything is covered.

And, of course, our future is secure also!

We are not going anywhere; common sense prevailed and as so aptly covered in this newspaper’s issue of the August 12, the Council decreed we would not be moved!

Our Mayor, Neil Brown, joined executives and members of the club for our Opening Day on Saturday.

It was a glorious day, sunshine, little wind, and those who played (we were restricted to 6 rinks) had a great day.

We were started off by our Mayor (having made a short but eloquent speech) bowling the first bowl of the season and it was a real cracker!

Thank you, Mayor Brown, for all your efforts on our behalf!

There was a presentation of the Club’s 2019/2020 competition winners post afternoon tea, among them the Championship winners:Ladies– Junior Singles – L Mills; Championship Singles – W Suttie; Championship Pairs – D Gutberlet (s), L Mills: Championship Triples – D Gutberlet (s), W Suttie, B Ewan; Championship Fours – D Gutberlet (s), D King, S Maw, A Gibbs; Men’s– Junior Singles – B Donaldson; Championship Singles – J Kewish; Championship Pairs – M Hill (s), A McKenzie; Championship Triples – M Anderson (s), D Kinvig, J Kewish; Championship Fours – M Anderson (s), M Hill, A MacKenzie, J Kewish.

On this coming Thursday 24th, we will be playing the Ashburton Ladies Drawn Triples, 9.30 am, and on Saturday 26th we will have the first of our Saturday Combined Rollover Triples, start 1.15 pm.

There will be no “home” Friday Triples until the 27th November.

Have a wonderful season everyone, and very good bowling!

Ashburton Golf Club

We have got a cracking finals day set up for Saturday this week, with some very intriguing games to be played.

In the Men’s Senior grade Owen Miller held off young Dave Morrison, who has been this years find, to make his second final.

In the other semi Jeff Hewitt birdied the last 2 holes to take the game to extra holes. Three more holes were required until Robbie Bell prevailed to book yet another finals berth.

This has all the looks of a classic final.

In the ladies Silver final, the other half of Team Bell, Pauline will be playing against previous champ Wendy Parr in another great game.

In the intermediate it seems to be the golden age of young pups smashing 300 metre drives and 170 metre pitching wedges, so how refreshing it is to see that the old dogs can still lead the way.

Chris Lovelock and Bruce Day, a couple of “180 Straighties”, both with recent bionic body part additions, are going to have a great game.

In the ladies Bronze 1 final, Rhonda Gallagher and Leigh Wackrow are sure to have lots of fun and provide a great spectacle.

Men’s Junior A sees two in form players in Ken Clucas and Alan White play off, this game could well go to 45 holes.

Ladies Bronze 2 is still to be finalised, with Ellenor Sullivan chomping at the bit waiting to see who she will face.

Then in the Junior B, two husbands of very good golfing ladies will slug it out when Eric Parr and Murray Wackrow lock horns.

We also have the nine hole Champs and Sega Golf trophy finals taking place, but I am afraid I did not have the names to hand when writing this.

In the Plate finals we have matches between Jenny Williams and Jan McArthur, Pat Turton and Stewart Dunlop, Terry Molloy and Gav Douglas, Jacqui Welch and Sue Hastie, Chris Ralston and Gaby Jansen, Marilyn Walker and Nicky Gill and finally Peter Walker and Terry Kingsbury.

Good luck to everyone taking part.

The course is closed to other golf until around 4pm, so come on down watch the games, support the finalists and celebrate with them in the clubrooms after.

Mike Hanham of the Lions Club of Ashburton (left) awards Kevin O’Brien the Wider Community Good Sort Award.

Club day this week is Sunday, with the annual Captain v President matchplay games, usual start times.

Come down and pick your allegiance and Matt will pair you into games.

This is also an RMF Silva Cup counter, with 10pts for a win 5 for a half and 2 for a loss.

Don’t forget the clocks move forward on Saturday night so don’t sleep in.

Coming up we have the County Stroke on the Sunday October 4, where we welcome teams from across the district playing for the Mayors trophy. This year we will also be welcoming some friends from Weedons who are coming down to join in the fun, should be a super day.

Terry is still looking for names for the away day on 17th October, if anyone fancies it, then please put your name down on the sheet in the bar.

See you around the course, good golfing.

Lions Club Of Ashburton

Club President Roger Paterson welcomed a good attendance of members, partners and guests to our September meeting held at the Hotel Ashburton.

Under Covid 19 Restrictions, the 3 course meal was served to the well-spaced out tables and appeared to be well received.

A new member, David Robertson, who has returned from living in Blenheim, was inducted to the club by Garth Bateup and sponsored by George Brown.

Max Cawte introduced guest Jim Douglas from Amberley.

Jim was a Lion at Amberley and is considering joining Lions here in Ashburton.

The club reactivated the ‘Wider Community Good Sort’ Award.

The first recipient was retired farmer Kevin O’Brien. Kevin was introduced and given the award by Mike Hanham.

Club spokesman Mike described as being ‘small in stature but big of heart’.

Kevin has given outstanding service to people of all denominations, much of it

under the St Vincent de Paul banner. The presentation was most popular indeed.

Mid Canterbury Central Friendship Club

President Carl Ruddenklau presided over a room full of members, seated at a distance, under covid19 regulations.

Donald Smythe introduced new member Bruce Rolston and was inducted to the club by President Carl.

Our mini speaker was Garth Madden, who gave us a glimpse into his past life.

Garth was born in 1951 in Greymouth, who’s father was a farrier. They moved to Christchurch in the 1950’s where his father bought a service station.

Garth went to St Bede’s college then on to Canterbury University where he grad-

uated with a degree with a Master’s of Commerce, majoring in accounting.

He was married in 1973 and in 1975 moved to Johannesburg, S.A. and worked for 2 different firms over the next 5 years.

He ran marathons, some as long as 94Kms, also participated in Canoe racing. They lived about 1 mile away from the Soweto riots at the time, but was not involved, although he was held up twice, but complied with their orders.

He never carried valuables.

He watched the All Blacks play S.A. in 1976, and witnessed some big fight among the spectators.

In 1977 he worked for chartered accountants in London before moving back to Christchurch the next year.

Pyne Gould Guinness were his employers where he worked in farm accounting until a move to Ashburton where he joined Chilton, Ross which in 1980 become Capon, Maddon. He has competed in the Coast to Coast and the Nelson to Christchurch bike race 3 or 4 times.

But now he says his body is built for “Pleasure and Leisure” and that Ashburton is a great place to live.

Due to the Covid19 restrictions the usual scones and drinks were not served.

The main speaker for the morning was Richard Fitzgerald who is employed by the Ashburton District Council as the agricultural advisor.

Richard has been mixed cropping farming with his wife in the Methven area for the past 28 years.

He was the chief executive for the New Zealand Young Farmer for 12 years. A Nuffield scholarship 6 years ago gave him the opportunity to travel the world.

He talked about the anxiety around climate change and about how some people fail to understand that animals are grown and fed for food.

Also how people on social media have access to Facebook, TickTock and other digital platforms which give minority fringe groups a voice.

Also there’s a growing level of expectation from consumers as to how food is produced. Some of the changes in farming include fresh water management and fencing off waterways, fertiliser use, stock management, etc. and his role is help farmers navigate their way through these changes.

He concluded his most interesting talk by answering questions from the floor.

A vote of thanks was given by President Carl.

Netherby Women’s Institute

President Adrienne Hodson welcomed 22 members including a new member and Margaret Cullimore to our September meeting.

Aspirations were recited together.

Usually our September meeting is the Home Industries Show but with the uncertainty of Covid 19 we decided it was too risky to go ahead with it.

Our August meeting took us to the Crate and Barrel at Leeston for lunch to celebrate the many milestone birthdays that are in 2020.

2 teams of 3 members took part in the Mid Canterbury Federation Indoor Bowls competition on 28th August. Unfortunately we didn’t win but had an enjoyable time as most of us had never played before.

We did not have a raffle of our own as tickets were being sold for the N.Z. Federation of Women’s Institute Grand Raffle and we managed to sell all the tickets that were allocated to us.

The Remits to be discussed at the NZWI Annual Meeting in Wellington on 21st and 22nd of September were read out and our members agreed/disagreed were noted.

Margaret Cullimore will be representing Netherby at this meeting.

Happy Birthday was sung to 4 members with one turning 90 and one 80 respectively, plus 2 other members with birthdays in September.

A collection was taken for Coins for Friendship.

The next function some of our members will attend will be the Mid Canterbury Federation Cup Day, Quizco, Half Yearly and 85th Anniversary luncheon on Wednesday 30th September in the Tinwald Hall – with the Theme being A Birthday Party.

Our next meeting will be in October – Jo Metcalf from Memory Funerals will be our speaker.

Following the business side of things we were entertained by Shirley Miller and Lorraine Boud, playing the piano and piano accordion.

This was enjoyed by all.

Afternoon tea completed the meeting.

WAKANUI WONDERS

PHOTO LYNNE PORTER

By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

There were no final hurdle missteps to be had as Wakanui’s senior women swaggered into Timaru and seized the silverware on Saturday.

Wakanui sealed their standout run in South Canterbury’s women’s division one competition by beating Cambridge 5-2 in the final in Timaru as they collected a first-ever McLay Cup crown.

Although the championship double did not eventuate for Wakanui after the senior men fell short in their decider, it was a fitting outcome for the senior women, who have been unrelenting in their unbeaten march towards the title.

“We’re really thrilled for them,” club secretary Brent Gray said.

“No matter what happens through

the season, the finals are always a different time.

“There were certainly some nerves going into it.”

In the end, Wakanui did it quite comfortably; any hint of stage fright was put to bed in the first quarter as the visitors came out firing, and by the end of the first period of play they were up 2-0.

Wakanui extended their lead to 4-0 deep into the second half, before Cambridge pulled their goalie in a last-ditch roll of the dice.

Cambridge clawed two goals back, before Wakanui settled the issue in the final two minutes with the fifth and final goal of the contest.

It was the usual suspects on the scoresheet.

Sam Dalziel nabbed a superb double, alongside goals from Hannah Mowat, Anna Gray and Laura Kingsmill.

“They did spend a lot of time on attack, and that’s always positive,” Gray said.

“It always felt comfortable from 2-nil on really.”

It has been a memorable return to the hockey turf for Wakanui, with the club fielding its first senior women’s team in many a year.

Gray said the group of players, which had a good mix of youth and experience, took the initiative at the start of the season and ran with it.

“They approached us wanting to have a team in the club because they wanted to build a culture.

“Because they were welcomed they felt comfortable, and to be fair they wanted to repay that faith so they put a bit of pressure on themselves.

“Some of the younger players have really shone because of the support from that team.”

The first grade womens hockey spoils have returned to Ashburton. after Hampstead Blue took care of business in Friday’s finale.

The club side clinched the Watson Shield off the back of a 4-2 win over Methven at the NBS Turf.

It was Hampstead Blue’s third win over the first grade’s top qualifier, and the most significant, with the silverware moving south after Methven Black and Methven White shared the title last year.

Hampstead wrapped up third place after a 1-0 win over Wakanui in their playoff earlier in the evening.

After Wakanui’s senior women sewed up the senior final in the South Canterbury competition, the senior men were undone by a hat-trick to former Black Stick Hayden Shaw, to go down 4-1 to Temuka in Saturday’s final in Timaru.

The visitors enjoyed a strong start to the game to go 1-0 up within two minutes.

However the South Cantabrians hit back, and by the halftime break they were in the box seat, up 2-1 before adding another two in the second half.

Tinwald’s 2nd grade girls were also triumphant, after beating Roncalli 3-2 in the women’s division two final on Sunday.
