■■BACK TO BASICS EXPO Back to basics just gets stronger

By Susan Sandys [email protected] Back to Basics attracted more than 300 people on Saturday. Those wanting to learn about natural living took away many lessons on how to live a more sustainable and healthy life from the annual expo. Organiser Julia Crosson said it was fantastic to see people not only learning skills and picking up tips on the day, but also join- ing up with some of the groups involved, such as Time Bank, SEEDS and Playcentre. “So it was a day of connection as well, and each year it just gets stronger and stronger.” Workshops and talks were held on the day by locals enthusias- tically imparting their skills and knowledge to others, including on how to use food as medicine, how to make beeswax wraps, and how to make the fermented sweetened tea, kombucha. Crosson said it was good to see some of the site holders teach- ing skills they had themselves learned at Back to Basics some years ago. It was the sixth annual Back to Basics expo, and was held at the New Life Church premises inTin- Kasia Chapman (left) and Marine Lefeuvre were among more than 300 people who shared and learned about getting back to wald. basics on Saturday.

A South African man working in Mid Canterbury to support his family back home could be de- ported after he was convicted of drink driving in the Ashburton District Court yesterday. Suprise Ayanda Sithole, 27, was in New Zealand on a 12-month work visa and employed on a local pig farm, defence counsel Tiffany McRae told Judge Paul Kellar. He was stopped driving on April 12 and breath-tested. A blood sample showed he was driving with 86 milligrams of al- cohol per 100 millilitres of blood; the legal level is 50. McRae said the consequences of a conviction for Sithole were grave and he would come under the scrutiny of Immigration New Zealand, with the risk of being deported.

■■NETBALL No prize money for Ferns

NZME

Last week the Black Caps reaped a $3 million payday as runners up of the Cricket World Cup. Yesterday, as the Silver Ferns lift- ed the Netball World Cup trophy, they pocketed not a single cent from the official organisers. The Ferns claimed a thrilling 52-51 win over the Australian Di- amonds in yesterday morning’s grand final – the first time the -na tional side claimed the title since 2003. It topped off an incredible 11- month turn around thanks to head coach Noeline Taurua, who came on board following the disastrous Commonwealth Games campaign. Although the players would say the glory of being crowned a World Champion is priceless, tour- nament officials confirming that there was no prize money up for grabs in Liverpool shed light on the harsh reality of women’s sport. The Blacks Caps’ $3 million pay- out was split and shared amongst the squad – each cricketer receiv- ing an impressive $187,500 – more than what leading Silver Ferns Ma- ria Folau and Laura Langman are estimated to make in a year. The prize money for the Cricket When the final whistle blew, the Silver Ferns were ecstatic; the Australian Diamonds less so.

■■RUGBY Perfect starter for Rakaia Rakaia won’t have too long to bask in the glory of a Second Grade Cup victory on Saturday at the Ashburton Showgrounds. It’s back to work this week to prepare for another big match this weekend. And again, they’ll square off with rivals Methven – this time for the historic Bruce Beckley Memo- rial Cup at Mt Somers – which is competed for by the top two qual- ifiers in the Second Grade Cup. The senior B side kick-started a huge day for the Rakaia Club on Saturday when they proved too strong for their Methven rivals in the curtain-raiser for the Watters Cup, grabbing back-to-back titles on the biggest of stages. It didn’t take Rakaia long to assert their dominance in Sat- urday’s final, with Logan Flett crashing over to open the scoring inside the first five minutes. Then when Josh Walker scored five minutes later, Methven had their backs against the wall, down 0-10. Their cause wasn’t helped by infringements and the referee’s whistle, with a penalty count that at one point was nearly averaging one a minute, and when Chris Lock was sent to the bin for Meth- ven around the 30-minute mark, Rakaia’s Cawte Whiting was outstanding in his side’s Second Grade Cup win on Saturday.
