Agencies working together have more impact than agencies working alone, say Lives Worth Living co-ordinators Connie Quigley and Pup Chamberlain. Yesterday, representatives from 18 agencies involved with suicide prevention launched the Mid Canterbury Suicide Prevention/Postvention Network. They signed a charter, committing themselves to working together to focus on promoting wellbeing and resiliency and reducing the incidence of

suicide in Mid Canterbury. Following the signing and morning tea, at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre, representatives workshopped collaborative projects for a Mid Canterbury Suicide Prevention/Postvention Strategy and Action Plan. The network will meet quarterly to review progress. Quigley and Chamberlain said suicide could be a difficult issue to address, especially in rural communities which did not enjoy ready access to specialist services and educational opportunities available in larger centres.

Agencies working together and applying their collective knowledge and skills had more impact than agencies working alone. “The establishment of the network and signing of the charter is a great beginning,” Quigley said. “Every life in Mid Canterbury is a life worth living,” Chamberlain said.

■■ASHBURTON ART GALLERY

Diving deep into inspirational process By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

A funny anecdote kicked off an afternoon of artists talking at the Ashburton Art Gallery on Sunday afternoon. The exhibition opening and artists’ talk was the first major public event at the gallery since before lockdown, and more than 90 people attended. Michael Holland was opening his exhibition Echo of Memories, while exhibitions by the other artists who joined him, Ben Lysaght and Anthony Davies, are nearing to a close. Curator Shirin Khosraviani was the master of ceremonies for the event, which began with Holland’s talk in his exhibition space. She began by asking him how he, as a self-taught artist, began his artistic career. “It was quite by accident really,” he said. Holland said he had always been inspired by Vincent Van Gogh, and after seeing the post-impressionist’s self-portrait wherever he went, he felt as though the Dutch painter was talking to him. Never really knowing what he wanted to do in life, the spark came when he had to give a gift to a friend for his wedding, so he did a painting. However, his partner told him the painting was too good to give away, so they kept it and bought the friend, who was at the artist’s talk, something else. “I still have the painting,” he said. The afternoon became one where the artists dived deep into the inspirational process behind their works. “You can sit there forever thinking what to paint, and nothing really happens until you start, the thing is to start, just start,” Holland said. His bright and colourful oil-on-canvas works in Echo of Memories feature people and landscapes with elements of symbolism and surrealism. He said he could spend years on paintings, and sometimes felt they were never finished. Next it was into the gallery displaying Once a Wilderness by Ben Lysaght. Today, the Ashburton College alumni lives in Wellington, but spent his early artistic days in the gallery’s walls as a student at the Jub

Artists (from left) Anthony Davies, Ben Lysaght and Michael Holland entertained more than 90 visitors with tales of their works at the Ashburton Art Gallery on Sunday afternoon. PHOTO HEATHER MACKENZIE 260720-HM-0016 Jub Club. Khosraviani said she gave a big “whoop whoop” when she heard later that he had decided to study fine arts, and last year he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours. This was his first solo exhibition. Answering questions from Khosraviani, Lysaght delved into his inspiration for the exhibition, which culminated from a sense of the weird and bizarre while visiting the Christchurch botanical gardens. There was little green in the pictures, reflecting the artificial aspect of the plants in non-natural spaces. Some of the paintings had fought him as he spent much time on them, and he would work on at least five or six at a time. “I never so much consider them finished, as resolved,” he said.

It was then into Disrupted Space, where Davies, visiting Ashburton for the first time, talked about his work. Davies is a master printmaker, who sourced his images for the exhibition from surveillance cameras and international agencies such as Reuters News. “I have always worked in series because it’s the idea of having a theme and absolutely exhausting it,” he said. Disrupted Space brings together three series of works – Surveillance, 2014, which consists of 27 lino-block prints, and two lithographic print series of Plight of the Innocent. “I think it’s quite hard to be an artist if you don’t have a clear identity, I think you are searching for that your whole life.” He considered himself a narrative art-

PROMPT

ist where everything told a tale, he did not want his works to be a mystery. Art historian Warren Feeney was among the audience and asked Davies about Plight of the Innocent. The innocent depicted were children, animals and the elderly, and Feeney said the series highlighted something very true and very real, and it was impossible to walk away not feeling concerned. “Where else are you going to see these messages apart from in a gallery?” Feeney asked. Davies talked more about related work such as a series on cruelty to animals and one on the sad plight of the Kaimanawa horses. “This (printmaking) is the perfect medium to be doing that sort of work in,” he said.

■■SUICIDE

Electronic monitoring bail bid denied

Every life does matter

Raymond Hemi, 27, remains in custody following being denied electronically monitored bail at the Ashburton District Court on Monday. The application by lawyer Marilyn Gilchrist was opposed by police. Judge Alistair Garland said an active charge for indecent assault related to an alleged incident on December 25 last year. Hemi is alleged to have accosted a woman after walking up to her as she walked her dogs along the street, involving behaviour such as holding her hand, and putting his hands on her shoulders and kissing her on the lips and neck. Hemi had been deemed unfit to stand trial and the matter was adjourned for a Section 23 report. On June 10 Hemi was granted bail and was living with his mother and had an overnight curfew. However, on June 18 he is alleged to have offended again “remarkably in a similar way to the previous incident”, Judge Garland said. Two new charges relate to the offending, one of unlawfully getting into a vehicle and another indecent assault charge. It is alleged a woman parked her car outside a building to access a post office box, and when she returned to her vehicle about 3.40pm and waited for traffic so she could pull out, Hemi opened the door and got into her car.

The complainant yelled and tried to put her hand up as a barrier, he grabbed this and pulled her towards him and puckered up his lips in a kissing posture. “The complainant was left feeling very frightened and was screaming at the defendant to get away from her,” Judge Gar-

land said. Hemi was then remanded in custody. Despite his protestations he would abide by electronically monitored bail conditions, Hemi had offended on bail previously, he appeared unable to regulate his own behaviour, and

police had advised it could take them at least half an hour to be alerted to someone who had absconded while on electronically monitored bail. His honour remanded Hemi in custody to August 3. - More Court News, P4

From P1 About 50 people from a wide range of organisations attended the event, and those involved in signing the charter include representatives from Ashburton and Rural Health Services, Ashburton District Council, ACADS, Ashburton Senior Citizens, Comcare Trust, Fire and Emergency New Zealand, Hakatere Marae, He Waka Tapu, Hype Youth Health Centre, Mid Canterbury Principals Association, Rural Support Trust, New Zealand Police, Pegasus Health, Presbyterian Support, Safer Mid Canterbury, Mount Hutt College, St John and Waitaha Primary Health. The event followed the publication of a new Lives Worth Living resource called Suicide Prevention, Simple Skills for Workplaces and Communities. Suicide is a significant public health issue and one of the leading 10 causes of death across all ages. However, it is the most preventable of all the major causes of death, the resource says. There is good evidence that programmes consisting of multiple interventions can reduce suicide rates, it continues. These include restricting access to lethal means; adoption of media reporting guidelines; restrictions on access to alcohol; public messaging programmes that focus on depression awareness, destigmatizing mental illness, and promoting help-seeking, health and wellbeing; and educating community ‘gatekeepers’ to recognise people who may be at risk of suicide and refer them for appropriate help.

Glass attack ends up in court The victim of a glassing incident at the Brown Pub last year was left with cuts and a broken cheek bone. Trent William Roulston, 28, pleaded guilty to assault with a weapon in the Ashburton District Court on Monday. Police prosecuting officer Sergeant Chris McFarlin said Roulston and the victim were at the Brown Pub in Methven about 1am on June 8, 2019, when the incident occurred. The pair knew each other and the complainant was interacting in a boisterous manner with the defendant, doing things such as grabbing at his hoodie. The defendant tipped out his glass of beer and struck the complainant across the left side of his face causing the glass to shatter. The complainant stumbled backwards and the defendent left the premises with friends. The complainant sustained shallow lacerations to his cheek and ear and later found he had a broken cheekbone which required surgery. Judge Alistair Garland convicted and remanded Roulston to September 21. Amanda Lisa Stannard, 38, pleaded guilty to assaulting police and common assault. Police prosecuting officer McFarlin said in the summary of facts that two constables were outside an Ashburton address on May 9, speaking to the defendant’s daughter for a traffic matter, when the defendant and her partner approached them in an angry manner. “She was verbally abusive despite being told to stay inside the address as enquiries were being made,” McFarlin said. Her daughter jumped on top of the police vehicle and the defendant shoved one of the officers, causing them to stumble. While the other constable removed the

daughter from the police vehicle, the defendant approached in a threatening manner. The mother and daughter were pepper-sprayed to prevent further assault or damage. The defendant was informed she was under arrest but she ran into the address. A police sergeant arrived and the sergeant and one of the constables approached the address to retrieve the defendant, she kicked the sergeant in the leg and was handcuffed. Outside the address, police offered the defendant aftercare, she responded by being verbally abusive and kicking one of the constables in the legs, and then in the stomach twice and once in the face when the constable placed her on the ground to gain control. She then kicked the sergeant in the legs about two times. Judge Garland convicted and remanded Stannard to September 7 to enable restorative justice to be considered and for sentencing.

Immigration: The changing face of a major provider Rule changes around immigration were announced on July 7 and the impact those changes have had has been considerable on the farming sector. To try and explain some of the changes and just what it might mean for those who rely heavily on immigration, Tavendale and Partners’ Michelle Chen answers some of the most frequently asked questions following the announcement. Below are answers to some frequently asked questions (for both migrant workers and employers) that could be useful to you and your migrant worker. Michelle Chen

What are the changes? 1. All existing employer-assisted temporary work visas who are currently in New Zealand and are holding a visa expiring before December 31, 2020, have had their visa extended by six months. 2. The 12 month ‘stand-down’ period for lower paid workers who are holding an employer assisted work visa has been delayed. This time-limited change will allow the lower skill worker (with their visa expiring between August 2020 and December 2020) to work for the same employer, in the same position, and location for a further six months in align with 1. The stand-down period remains if a migrant worker who is subject to the stand-down period moves to another Essential Skills Work Visa (ESWV) (low skilled). 3. All new lower-paid ESWV will be granted for a period of six months (not 12 months) to help INZ mitigate future labour market risks. This will apply to all new lower-paid ESWVs applied to INZ from July 10 2020.

Is this good news for those in the Agriculture sector? + Yes! For employers with experienced migrant workers who are paid above the median wage, these changes are significant. + For both employers and migrant workers, if the migrant worker receives the medium wage or above, INZ will assess the new ESWV under the new changes as “higher” skilled. This means the worker can apply for a three-year ESWV. A SMR won’t be required for the ESWV application. However, the employer will still need to provide genuine attempts to recruit a New Zealander for the position first.

What changed on July 27, 2020? + ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classifications of Occupations) will no longer be used for Essential Skills Work Visa applications. The national medium wage (currently at $25.50 per hour) will be used to assess whether a position is low-

So, I don’t need to worry until the visa extension expires? + Holders of employer-assisted temporary work visas have been extended for only six months. Employers will still have to demonstrate genuine attempts to recruit a NZ citizen or resident visa holder before

er or higher skill. Any position paid below the national medium wage will need to include a Skills Match Report (SMR) from the Ministry of Social Development. + ANZSCO will still be used to assess the Skilled Migrant Category resident (SMC) visa applications.

offering the migrant worker a position. The longer an employer/migrant worker delays beginning the application process, the higher the risk the labour market may change in this uncertain post Covid-19 environment. How does INZ factor in the free or subsided housing/transport/ equipment, which as an Employer I provide to my workers? + Remuneration is calculated to include any accommodation allowance, reasonable deduction for accommodation or the applicable market rental value. Any deductions must be compliant with New Zealand employment law. I am a migrant in NZ, can I support my partner and/ or children to stay in NZ under these new changes? + This depends on the whether the work visa holder has been approved a visa for work at or above the medium wage. Being paid at or above the medium wage, the partner is eligible for a partnership-based work visa. Being paid below the medium wage, the partner will only be eligible for a partnership-based visitor visa.

I am currently being paid below the median wage, but my salary will increase to above the median wage in six months’ time. Can I apply for a visa now? + You can apply for a visa. The immigration policy will apply to your application at the time INZ accept your application. Your remuneration will be assessed based on your current rate of pay. I applied for my ESWV before July 27, 2020, will my application be assessed using ANZSCO? + Applications accepted before July 27, 2020 will be assessed in accordance with the immigration instructions at the time the application was accepted for processing. Why is ANZSCO still required for Skilled Migrant Category Resident visa applications? + The removal of ANZSCO for Essential Skills is part of the wider changes to the new temporary work visa scheme that are due to come in mid 2021. No changes have been made to the SMC at this stage. Michelle can be contacted by emailing immigration@tp.co.nz

The life and tales of little Johnny A

t school trouble just seemed to always find poor little Johnny. One day things got away to a bad start when Johnny arrived late. “Why are you late for this class?” asked the teacher. “Because it started before I got here,” replied Johnny. “Well why didn’t you get here earlier?” asked the teacher. “Because I had to get my own bl##!y breakfast,” replied Johnny. “You can’t speak like that,” said the teacher “go and stand in the naughty corner!” Which Johnny did – he knew the way. The teacher told the class: “We’ll move on to geography”. “Who can tell me where the

Scottish border is?” No-one had their hand up except little Johnny standing in the corner. So the teacher asked Johnny “where’s the Scottish border?” Johnny replied: “He’s at the pub with mum, that’s why I had to get my own bl##!y breakfast”. Giving him a chance to redeem himself the teacher asked Johnny who was quite good at math to tell the class how many kittens he would have if the

teacher gave him two kittens then two more kittens and another two kittens. “I’d have seven,” said Johnny. “No Johnny you must have misunderstood me,” said the teacher “if I gave you two kittens, then two more kittens and another two kittens. Same answer – seven. “Let’s try this a different way” said the teacher who then asked Johnny “if I gave two apples, then two more apples and another two apples how many apples would you have?” Johnny answered “six Miss”. That’s right Johnny “so how come you answered six apples but got it wrong and answered 7seven kittens? “That’s ‘because we’ve already got one kitten at home”.

Moving on to English the teacher said to Johnny “your essay about “My dog” is exactly the same as the one your brother wrote last year, did you copy his?” No says Johnny “It’s the same dog!” Then came spelling and the teacher asked the kids “how do you spell crocodile?” Johnny wrote down K-R-O-KO-D-I-A-L. “No Johnny that’s wrong,” the teacher said. “It might be wrong,” said Johnny “but you asked me how I spell it”. Johnny’s class were given an assignment to define some computer terminology. This is what Johnny came up with:

SERVER: The person at the pub who brings out the counter lunch. MAIL SERVER: The bloke at the pub who brings out the counter lunch. USER: The neighbour who keeps borrowing things. NETWORK: What you do when you need to repair the fishing net. INTERNET: Where you want the fish to go. NETSCAPE: What the fish do when they find the hole in the net. ONLINE: Where you hang the washing. OFFLINE: Where the washing ends up when the pegs aren’t strong enough. No doubt about it Johnny’s a brilliant kid isn’t he!

The best feedback, is your feedback

t’s not often a daily newspaper can say that it’s got the backing of the community around it, but judging by the last few days, I’d like to think we’re going pretty close to it. I have been somewhat amazed at the amount of conversations I’ve had in the streets over the past week, the number of phone calls and the amount of correspondence received in regard to our impending changes next week. The support from you all has been simply incredible, and we are so grateful for it. We know we’re changing a lifetime habit for a lot of people, and for that reason it’s something we haven’t done lightly, and we’re trying to be conscious of all the little things that make your Ashburton Guardian reading experience unique when framing up what things will look like from next week. But by knowing, because you have told us, that you’re as excited as we are about what waits around the corner, the job has been that much easier. There’s still a lot of work to do, but we’re confident that by the time the Midweek Edition of the Guardian arrives to you next Wednesday morning that your faith in us will be rewarded with a product far better than we’ve done before. The same news, done differently and looking a whole lot better. That’s the game plan. But while we get excited about the new, there is also the small element of sadness about what will become the old. Saturday will be the last edition of the Ashburton Guardian as a daily newspaper. And we want to acknowledge that. So, we’re calling on the community to help us. We know there are people who are out there who have been reading this newspaper for twice as long as the current editor has been alive, and we know that it’s been a part of daily life for that time too. We also know there are people for whom it might not have been a part of life for such a long time, but it’s still been a part of their life. So, tell us your stories. We want to hear them and we want to share them.

Quit stalling on quarantine By Kate Hawkesby

o you get the feeling the Government’s stalling on charging for quarantine? Here’s what governments do with unpopular decisions – they stall them. Popular ones – they move fast, or look to move fast like commission a working group and talk about how quickly they want to move but, unpopular ones, they delay. Ihumatao is a case in point. That deal is a year in the making and is still nowhere – still talking, still negotiating, still working through the fine print. When will we know that deal? If the Government gets its way, probably after the election. God forbid voters hear in advance how much taxpayer money might be spent on that one. Likewise, quarantine. Having seen the unpopular fallout for National of announcing its policy to charge quarantiners, and the angry reaction of Kiwis still stuck overseas, this Government seems to have found an endless number of hurdles to prevent it from making a call. But it’ll have to make it soon, surely. We were expecting the call Monday post-Cabinet but, instead, we got more money being handed out. No efforts to bring some in. Surely, you can’t keep pouring hundreds of millions of taxpayer

Hotels in Auckland have a new role, that of a quarantine base. dollars into paying for quarantine, without – at some stage – asking the question: When does this all end? How do we pay this back? There are lots of ways to slice it – part payments, means testing, payback models. It doesn’t have to be the whole bill slapped on returning Kiwis. But does all this not smack of holding us in some kind of pandemic syndrome right now? Holding us in the throes of fear. The Government appears to be wanting to keep us in this state for as long as possible.

Why? Because it suits the narrative that the Government is our rescuer, it keeps us fearful and grateful. That feeling wins votes and support and the timing could not be better. We don’t actually have Covid here anymore, it’s not in the community. But, as long as they can keep us focused on what’s happening in the rest of the world, we can stay grateful and just a little bit fearful that it might return. And that keeps us frozen in time, in the grips of gratitude

and obedience. The key though surely, is to look forward from here, not backward. To look forward and ask the hard questions around how we rebuild, how we pay for it, how we kickstart again. If we don’t start making the hard calls and crawling out of debt, if we keep just handing out more and more money, and keep people stagnant, then the recovery is going to take that much longer. Not just the economic recovery, but the mental and psychological one too.

Win oh-so-close

The Celtic women have come agonisingly close to notching their first win of the season, going down by the slimmest of margins to the Lincoln University Hoggets at the weekend. The Ashburton club were pipped at Lincoln 28-27 in the Women’s Championship. It is however a marked improvement by the side after some heavy defeats earlier in the season. The team will be buoyed by home support on Saturday when they meet HSOB at Celtic RFC. Kickoff is at 1pm. PHOTO HEATHER MACKENZIE

Six Nations to host eight-team tournament The Six Nations sides along with Japan and Fiji are set to feature in an eight-team tournament which will replace this year’s autumn internationals, the BBC reported yesterday.

The tournament is scheduled to begin on November 14, two weeks after the completion of the Six Nations Championship which was postponed due to the Covid-19 outbreak in March.

The report said England are likely to be in a four-team pool alongside Wales, Ireland and Fiji, while Scotland, France, Italy and Japan will fight it out in the other group.

INJURY CRISIS HANDS BAABAAS THE POINTS The Ashburton Barbarians’ Canterbury Cup rugby league encounter was called off at the weekend with an injury crisis forcing its opponents to default the fixture. The Papanui Tigers, who sit bottom of the ladder, were set to travel to Ashburton for the game however withdrew, citing a growing injury toll. It means the Barbarians move into fifth position on the Canterbury Cup premier reserves table on 4 points as they face the seventh-placed Eastern Eagles in Christchurch this Saturday.

One of Methven’s two senior sides continues to command proceedings in Saturday senior netball competition. Methven (Methven Trucking) opened up their lead at the top of senior netball courtesy of a 33-9 win over Allenton in Ashburton on Saturday. The side have won all four of their games since Saturday after-

noon netball returned earlier this month. Two AshColl teams played out a thriller earlier in the afternoon with their 10B side edging College’s 9A team 27-26 to retain second spot on the table. Third placed Methven (Methven Paddock Vets) were also victorious, beating Hampstead under-18B 25-14 in the last senior game of the day. Methven also had a satisfactory

day at the office at senior reserve level, with both teams recording wins. Moving into fourth spot on the ladder was Methven (Methven Travel), who cantered to a comprehensive 35-6 win over Hampstead under-15B to notch their first win of the season. It was tighter in the other senior reserve match-up between the two clubs as Methven ( Methven Humm Engineering) edged

Hampstead’s under-15A side 2621. Another inter-school derby again went down to the wire as AshColl’s under-16A team tipped up their under-18 team 22-21. Down in second grade, College under-15s eased to a 26-9 win over Southern, Rakaia beat Methven 34-11 and AshColl 9B prevailed over College’s under-16B team 16-8 to round out the day’s action.

■■RUGBY

Aotearoa competition taking toll on players The intensity of Super Rugby Aotearoa has been a major factor in its success but players can only maintain near test-level rugby for so long before the physical and mental strain takes its toll. New Zealand Rugby set up the 10-week domestic competition after the broader Super Rugby season, which also featured sides from South Africa, Australia, Argentina and Japan, was suspended due to Covid-19 travel restrictions. With the country’s five Super Rugby teams battling it out in a constant stream of high-quality derbies, players are experiencing almost test match conditions week in, week out. “You just have to watch the games,” New Zealand Rugby Players Association executive director

Rob Nichol said. “They’re incredibly intense, both emotionally and physically. “It’s as close as you’re going to get to test match rugby. “And we all know that if you ask players to play three Tier One test matches in a row ... to come down emotionally and then get back up is pretty hard.” All of the sides face growing injury lists, with Hurricanes coach Jason Holland saying it would have been difficult for his team to have played a fifth successive game this weekend. The Hurricanes have this week off before they play their final two games of the season, and Holland joked had they been scheduled to play then he and assistant coach Cory Jane might have been forced out of retirement.

Sam Cane feeling the pain. “At some stage you do need to be able to decompress, recover, realign and get back into it,” Nichol said. “I think what you’re hearing from the coaches and the players is that it’s cool to be able to pro-

duce this kind of rugby for the fans, but we can only keep going at this level for so long.” He recognised, however, that the intensity of the competition was the reason crowds were flocking back to matches or tuning in at home on television. One of the criticisms of Super Rugby before the Covid-19 shutdown was that too many matches were not competitive, or produced a lower standard of play. NZR’s proposed plan for their 2021 competition involves a tournament of eight to 10 teams, with the five New Zealand sides, possibly a Pasifika franchise and between two and four Australian squads. Any future model would need to factor in at least two rest weeks, Nichol said.

Tactix in third spot The Northern Mystics made up for their loss to the Southern Steel by beating the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic 45-39 in the last of the centralised games. The win puts the Mystics just ahead of the Mainland Tactix in second place on the ANZ Premiership ladder, while the Pulse continue to set the pace after seven rounds. The toss-up has almost become extinct in netball, with the preference for the umpire to make a call one way or another. But umpire Josh Bowring couldn’t separate a possession of the ball decision. Phoenix Karaka and Kelsey McPhee looked quite shocked when Bowring called for a toss-up. It may have been some years that either player had taken part in the act and the novelty wasn’t lost on the players or the crowd. Given it’s so rare, it’s not surprising the players were hesitant when approaching it, and it’s unlikely they practice it regularly, if ever. In the Tactix 47-40 win over the Stars on Sunday, goal shoot Ellie Bird shot a perfect 100 per cent with her 37 goal effort. Te Paea Selby-Rickit put up 10 goals of her own and it was also her feeding to Bird that was a key ingredient to the win. It’s a combination that’s still growing and could be absolutely crucial as they fight for a place in the grand final. At the other end Temalisi Fakahokotau and Jane Watson will get turnover ball, and if Bird and Selby-Rickit can continue to improve and convert those opportunities, it could be a game changer for the Tactix.

American yachties hit the water American Magic, the first challenger for the America’s Cup to have arrived in New Zealand, has had its first day of testing in Auckland. In contrast, three other challenging syndicates, INEOS Team UK, Italy’s Luna Rossa and Stars and Stripes USA, have yet to arrive. After almost five months onshore, American Magic conducted a five hour sailing session on the Waitemata Harbour. “It’s just nice to be back to doing what we’re meant to be doing,”

said Terry Hutchinson, skipper and executive director of American Magic. “[Today we had] perfect conditions to be out in the harbour, and out in the Hauraki Gulf. It wasn’t too windy, perfectly flat water. “Reminds you a lot of Pensacola (Florida).” In terms of the team’s overall plan, Hutchinson said that despite all of the unexpected challenges brought on by Covid-19, the campaign for the America’s Cup was on track. “When we started our planning

prior to Covid-19, it always had us sailing in early August here in New Zealand,” said Hutchinson after a valuable day of testing equipment and systems. The syndicate from the New York Yacht Club arrived in late June, after the New Zealand government granted them exemptions to travel to the country to begin their preparations for the challenger series early next year. “Reliability and performance and racing are all completely linked together. “And with the boat [today], it

was great to see everything working reasonably well. “To bring it together as a team is a great effort by everybody involved. There were a lot of pieces to the puzzle. “There is a high priority of sailing at the venue, of getting our team settled at the venue, and of learning,” said Hutchinson. “A lot of us have raced on what is probably the main [race] course, and we’re going to use that. “But some of us haven’t sailed on the other courses. I’m a big believer in being settled as a team

and having us focus day in and day out on the sailing. “Moving to Auckland at this stage has allowed us to do that.” The first edition of their AC-75 foiling monohull, named Defiant, spent much of the training session sailing around areas that organisers have designated as five potential race courses. The challenger series for the Prada Cup runs from January 15-February 22, 2021 before the America’s Cup match against holders Team New Zealand begins on March 6.

■■BASKETBALL

Tall Ferns focused on 2022 FIBA World Cup The Sky Sport Tall Ferns longlist of 24 have assembled in camp, and will be preparing over the following week ahead of a showcase game featuring 13 capped players and 11 uncapped rookies. The most capped in the relatively young group of players includes Stella Beck (47 Tall Ferns games) and Penina Davidson (48 games). Both will be a key part of leadership for this group. They will support assistant coaches Jody Cameron and Aik Ho, and former player now manager Lisa Wallbutton. Head coach Guy Molloy is unable to attend from Melbourne due to lockdown restrictions, so is guiding the team’s assistants from

Tall Fern Stella Beck his home in Melbourne. Stella Beck says she is happy to be back in camp and relishing the week ahead. “There are a lot of new faces here, so, we are using this week to get to know each other better.

“For a lot of us, it will be great to be back in a team environment and back onto court again, so we need to get our feet under us during the coming days before the Showcase.” Beck says coach Molloy has spoken to both her and Davidson, before the week began. She says a key message was setting expectations and sharing team values that are a big part of this team’s culture. “We’ve got team values that we uphold within the Tall Ferns and, for those coming into this environment for this first time, it’s a chance to learn about those. “Four key points will be enjoyment, positivity, improvement

and competitiveness. “We’ve talked about these aspects for a long time and they’ve been part of this team since before I made the squad. “We try to carry those values through and bring them to every training. Players learn to embrace those core values and uphold them,” says Beck. Of the original list released on July 10, there are two changes. Krystal Leger-Walker has withdrawn with a need to quickly return to the US while Kaitlin Noyer is out injured. They are replaced by Kendell Heremaia and Jazzmine Kailahi-Fulu. This is very much a young

squad. Tall Ferns based in Australia such as Kalani Purcell, Ashleigh Karaitiana, Natalie Taylor and Toni Edmondson will not be part of the camp due to travel restrictions and quarantine requirements. The Tall Ferns programme is using this time to foster talent with a goal to making the 2022 FIBA World Cup in Australia. The question is, within this group of 24, who will play their way into the higher ranks and be seen as one of the core 12 that can lead the way for New Zealand women’s basketball? The Showcase, tipping off at 5pm ahead of the Sal’s NBL Grand Final on Saturday, will give insight into the answer.

Ashburton Guardian 13

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You do not want people to be overly reliant on you. This would lead to them feeling disempowered, and you feeling like a babysitter. When everyone knows what to do on their own, the whole team progresses. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): It happens today, as it has from time to time, an instance of profundity, quick as a hand clap, jarring you into an experience of all life as a sudden, painful flash of beauty, and then it’s over, back to normal. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): One essential part of knowing yourself well is knowing what triggers your responses to the world. It’s often a minor cue that sets major events in motion for you. Now, you’ll recognise just what is that cue. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Vague abstractions and big explanations will get no traction. You just want to know what to do next. You’ll ask for, receive and deliver communication that’s direct and succinct. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’ll spend hours focusing on a particular aspect of the larger picture. You’ll do it fast, do it slow, do it differently and when you do it wrong, you’ll stop and correct in small moves until you get it just right. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): In this circular life, perhaps nothing is ever really complete. Yet, today it will lift your entire being to feel that a matter of importance has been resolved to whatever degree it can be. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): It is engaging and motivating to do purposeful work. Sometimes, you have to find that or even create it. You will reconnect with the reasons you are doing a thing, and this will reenergise you. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): In an ideal relationship, it’s easy to see the confluence of interests. Needs match and what is given and received makes sense to both parties. In a less-than-ideal relationship, you can still focus on what’s working. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ll be thinking about the many ways you build a lifestyle, and then your lifestyle builds you. You are very much in control of this construction project today. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The bad habit you want to lose is not going to be gently tossed aside; rather, it will need to be ejected with great force. Do this and you’ll experience radical results as early as the weekend. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): It is dangerous to spend too much time imagining the outcome because this could set up a dynamic in which fantasising is so pleasurable a payoff that no further action feels necessary. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): There is no need to rigidly stick to a joyless plan. Your life is constructed of flexible stuff. Agreements can be changed, appointments moved around, relationships reconsidered or reconstructed.

Wakanui made to work for it By Adam Burns

adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

Wakanui remain in the box seat in premier men’s hockey after a hard fought 1st grade win at the weekend. The competition frontrunners were made to grind against a young Allenton outfit, but ultimately prevailed 1-0. The result ensures Wakanui remain unbeaten after six games, with a three point lead over Tinwald Orange. The second-placed Tinwald contingent were more comfortable in their Sunday encounter,

toppling Hampstead Lowcliffe 4-0. That was followed by a 4-2 win by Tinwald Black over Hampstead/Wakanui, meaning they leapfrog into third on the ladder. First grade women’s hockey took to the turf on Friday, including a top-of-the-table clash between Methven and Hampstead Blue. Top-of-the-table Methven tamed the Hampstead side 3-2 to maintain their top billing. Later that night, Hampstead beat Wakanui 2-0 with both Hampstead club sides now neck and neck on the first grade ladder.

Ashburton College’s 1st XI thumped Cashmere High School 6-1 in Christchurch in their SSL division 1 encounter earlier in the evening. Both Wakanui teams were successful in senior hockey in Ashburton on Saturday. The senior women came out flying against Geraldine, as the side scorched to a 2-0 lead after a matter of minutes. Wakanui proceeded to dominate the remainder of the half, securing a 6-0 lead at the break. In what was a game of two halves, Geraldine got three back

and restricted Wakanui to one further goal as it finished 7-3, as Wakanui continue to set the pace in the South Canterbury Hockey division. Later the men ran out 5-2 winners against Tainui to also continue their excellent form. Goals were scored by Sam Bennett, Andrew Fisher, Hayden Sinclair and a double strike by Jed Cameron. The action continued on Sunday with women’s division 2. Wakanui prevailed over Temuka 4-1, after the game opened up in the final quarter.

Isobel Brook, Gracie Trotter and Honor Bradford added to Wakanui’s tally late in the fixture, after Holly-Jayne Feutz secured the lead for the home side earlier in the encounter. Tinwald also toppled league leaders Cambridge 2-1 in a thrilling match-up in Timaru. The result means the Mid Canterbury side overtakes Cambridge to top the competition standings. Boys’ division 3 match-ups occurred on Monday, with Geraldine and Allenton playing out a 0-0 stalemate before Wakanui and Mackenzie also drew 4-4.
