The search for a missing fisherman feared dead at Lake Coleridge continued last night.

Police advised yesterday afternoon that emergency services had been called DOW N Lnear O AMt D Hutt, around to the popular lake, 5pm on Wednesday evening to reports that a man had been swept under while fishing.

NOW!

The initial reports suggested that the missing fisherman had been attempting to aid another fisherman who had struck difficulties.

Yesterday four members of the Police National Dive Squad were at Lake Coleridge planning and undertaking their search of the lake – including speaking to witnesses so they could ascertain where best to focus their efforts.

“Environmental conditions are tricky,

as the lake is very deep and temperatures are around six or seven degrees,” police search and rescue co-ordinator, Phil Simmonds said.

Late last night the team conducting the search were still out looking for the missing man, but weather conditions and fading light were proving a hindrance to their efforts. The search was called off for the night at 7pm with divers to resume again this morning.

Ashburton App one-stop info-app

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

By downloading just one app to your cellphone, tablet or laptop you can now access everything you will ever need to know about the Ashburton District.

The district’s one-stop information shop, the Ashburton App launches today and will give users access to an endless pool of data – jobs, business directories, news, sport, events – they’re all there, listed by category and to be regularly updated.

And they all relate to the Ashburton District.

The Ashburton App has been developed by the Ashburton Guardian and company owner Bruce Bell believes it will become the ultimate go-to place for locals as well as visitors to the district.

It’s been tested and proven a winner in Wanaka, Central Otago, and Nelson and Bell believes its success lies in its simplicity.

“It’s a concept I’ve been considering for a couple of years.

This opportunity came along and I was sold on it. It’s simple to download, it’s simple to use and on it you can get information about everything our district has to offer,” he said.

The Ashburton App launches 10 years almost to the day after the Guardian changed its publication cycle from afternoon to morning.

And it comes almost 20 years

Celebrating the launch of the Ashburton App, a one-stop information base for the Ashburton District, Ashburton Guardian general manager Desme Daniels and company owner Bruce Bell. after the company worked on an online project, About Ashburton, that was designed to build a similar district-wide database of information.

“We were probably a bit ahead of our time with that one, but when the opportunity to buy this app came up I had no hesitation in taking it up. It’s a platform that’s

complementary to the Guardian and it’s a natural extension to our business. We see it as a great opportunity for the community to be able to access a huge amount of information about the district in one place,” he said.

Guardian general manager Desme Daniels believes the app will quickly become the ultimate

go-to place for locals as well as visitors to the district.

“We see this as the one place you can go to get information about everything our district has to offer. It will be an incredibly useful tool for everyone, tourists, locals and newcomers to the district,” she said.

One of the key features of the

app is its regular news feed. This will be updated three times each day.

“Obviously we have our print products and our digital platform and, for us, developing a mobile app means we now cover everything. It’ll have a strong community focus, as it will have a huge amount of information about everything in the district from shopping and events to playgrounds and dog parks.”

The app will also have key health information about doctors, dentists, pharmacies and weekend emergency services.

“The value of our newspaper won’t be undermined by the app.

We see all of our products – print, digital and the app as complementary,” Daniels said.

The Ashburton App is free to download and comes with a notification option.

While the app will launch with a significant amount of information loaded, it would be constantly upgraded and improved, she said.

“We see this as a 12-month journey as more features will be developed regularly.”

Guardian editor Matt Markham believes the app launch is an exciting step forward for the district.

“We’ll have this new platform which anyone, from anywhere, can access all the need-to-know information about the district and all at the press of a button,” he said.

Council turns down Plains fire museum funding request

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Seven Ashburton District councillors and mayor Donna Favel have thumbed their noses at the keepers of Ashburton’s fire history.

Last month members of the Ashburton Fire Museum committee made a pitch for a $30,000, one-off grant from the council that would partially bridge the funding gap for work on an extension and upgrade to its museum in Tinwald’s Plains Village.

Yesterday the finance committee met and debated a staff recommendation that the council

gave $20,000, rather than $30,000 to the museum committee. Only four liked the idea – councillors Neil Brown, Lynette Lovett, Liz McMillan and Leen Braam.

In failing to support the recommendation, councillors Diane Rawlinson, Stuart Wilson, Mark Malcolm, Selwyn Price, Thelma Bell, Alasdair Urquhart and Peter Reveley joined the mayor in cutting the fire museum’s financial lifeline.

Councillor Russell Ellis was not at the meeting.

The museum committee has already raised $235,000 towards the

$300,000 project and needed the council grant for the extension fitout and interior upgrade.

Once the extension was built and the fit-out completed it intended to raise the remaining $45,000 to complete the project.

When he heard their request had been turned down, spokesperson Peter McQuarters was stunned.

The items in the fire museum represented more than 140 years of fire fighting in Ashburton and its collection of appliances and equipment is rated as one of the best in New Zealand.

The museum team would push on and get the building up, but the project would be severely hampered by not receiving the fit-out grant, he said.

In the past the group has applied for a grant from the council’s heritage fund and its economic development fund, but was turned down on both occasions.

In voting not to give the museum $20,000 councillors ignored the advice of staff who said failing to make the grant would indicate the council did not see merit in a proposal that could be a great as-

set for the community.

Diane Rawlinson said she couldn’t support the recommendation because it could set a precedent for other community groups, while Favel opposed it because handing out $20,000 would only leave $6000 in the community grants and funding discretionary fund for the rest of the year.

Lynette Lovett didn’t agree.

“We’re trying to get The Plains up and running. This is a great asset for the community and to get tourists coming in; it’s good for our town and our community,” she said.

We are here to provide access to your prescription and medicinal needs 7 days a week.

Stars sure to shine at hospice fundraising event

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

A stellar lineup of artists are now in town and ready to take to the Ashburton Trust Event Centre stage in the spirit of charity.

Tonight is the first of two eagerly anticipated Night of the Southern Stars concerts, organised to fundraise for Hospice Mid Canterbury.

An array of musical offerings will be delivered by singer, producer and radio personality Tim Beveridge; singer, dancer and actor Tizane McEvoy accompanied by Stephen Small, and beloved Ashburton-born international opera legend Simon O’Neill.

For Beveridge, the concert is a chance to contribute to a cause close to his heart.

He has already worked extensively with wider Hospice New Zealand to fundraise over $70,000 through annual Christmas shows and sales of a Christmas album.

“A few years ago a good friend was treated by the hospice, and it was then I learnt what an amazing organisation they are,” he said.

“On a human level you look at the work they do and it’s just amazing.”

He said he is also excited to be performing alongside close friends O’Neill and McEvoy.

Although the three vary greatly in style – from Broadway (Beve-

Opera legend, Simon O’Neill. ridge) to opera (O’Neill) and everything in between (McEvoy), he said the three enjoy working together.

“It’ll be a great opportunity just to get together and perform our favourite stuff.”

Three local groups will also take

the stage: the MSA Men’s Choir and Ashburton College’s Phoenix Rising and Phoenix Chorus.

Beveridge said the concert had been about 18 months in planning, largely due to O’Neill’s busy international career. “It takes a lot

of effort to put something like this together,” he said.

“And it should be a really fantastic evening of music.”

Fundraising assistant Maxine Whiting said ticket sales had gone “really well”, although there were

still a few seats left for both tonight and Saturday evening. “It’s going to be a really fabulous night.”

She said the night was the first of its kind organised by the hospice, and one of their biggest fundraisers to date.

Absences concern principals

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

A rise in the number of unjustifiable school absences is causing headaches for school staff around the district.

Principals are calling on families to remember the importance of regular school attendance following a creeping increase of “dubious decisions” to take children out of class for hours, days or weeks at a time.

Rakaia School principal Mark Ellis said he was seeing children missing class to attend parents’ birthdays, friends’ birthdays, go

shopping, go skiing for the day or do other activities which could happen in the weekend.

“It’s just not good enough,” he said. He said the behaviour was taking time away from valuable tuition, and he wanted parents to remember the effect of their decisions on their children’s education.

“I understand the complexities of our families are changing … but I want to be very clear I am not here as a babysitting service.

“We are seeing a direct correlation between absences and the children’s achievement and progress.” Ellis said.

Eleven families from Rakaia School would be receiving followup letters this term.

Allenton School principal Graham Smith said though attendance rates at his school were relatively good, he too was observing a small minority of parents willing to compromise opportunities for their children’s education.

“It really frustrates me … in order for children to engage with their learning – the first thing we need is for kids to be at school,” Smith said.

Smith had turned to home-visits to chase up routinely problematic

families, due to what he thought was a clunky Ministry of Education truancy service in Mid Canterbury.

“It’s not ideal having to go and visit the families,” he said.

“But if we don’t deal with it then the problem just gets worse.”

Though he said he would love for a 100 per cent attendance rate, he understood that holidays could be doubly pricey during holiday time, and that some types of holidays could be genuinely educational in “ways the school could never offer”.

“Some parents use time wisely,

and that can be okay,” he said.

“It’s the ones that go on holiday and use the time just to keep their kids babysat that we’re worried about … that’s what causes us frustration.”

St Joseph’s School principal Cath Blacklow also said unjustified absences appeared to be a “bit of a problem” currently, but she too differentiated between opportunities for education and pure entertainment.

“Families are working hard and we try to be understanding,” she said. But it does seem to be a bit of a problem at the moment.”

Trust secures garden paradise

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The future of a property that has put Ashburton on the international garden tour map was assured when the Trott’s Garden Charitable Trust was formed.

That trust grew from small beginnings, as an idea shared by a handful of people but over two years it developed into a concept that is now rooted in reality with the trust signing off on the purchase of Trott’s Gardens.

The property changes hands on September 15.

For the trustees and large group of volunteers who are committed to the project, that will just be the beginning of the real work, says spokesperson Robin Kilworth.

The project was her brainchild and came from a desire to ensure what is now recognised as a Garden of International Significance, remained in district ownership.

“Over the years I’d been to a lot of events there and so had the other trustees. Like a lot of people I wondered what would happen to this wonderful garden when Alan and Catherine decided to move on. Rather than keep wondering we decided we needed to protect it and treasure it, to keep the legacy now rather than wait and wonder why we didn’t do something earlier,” Kilworth said.

She talked to people, who talked to other people and gradually a large group formed, interested in ensuring the gardens remained accessible to the community.

“We set up the trust and a group of very generous people who wanted to see the gardens maintained and kept in community ownership formed a company to buy it,” she said.

A team of volunteers led by Prue Harper and Lindsay Jones have committed to gardening and lawn mowing over the busy spring to autumn when the property is well used as an event venue and by tour groups.

“While we expect in the future we’ll need to have perhaps part-time and fulltime management, we’ll need volunteers too

House prices fall

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Trading homes in the Ashburton District continues to be a game that buyers are winning.

Over the past several months, house prices in the district have been inching downwards and QV’s figures for August show that trend is continuing.

The average price of a house sold has dropped to $347,530, down 1.1 per cent over the past month and 1.5 per cent over the past year.

Ashburton is one of many South Island districts to watch house prices drop over the past three months, but one of only a few to count their 12 month change in falling numbers. Buller, Grey, Christchurch Hills and Banks Peninsula also now all have a lower average selling price today than they did one year ago.

Prices rose fastest in Mackenzie, 28 per cent, Queenstown, 18 per cent, Tasman, 16.1 per cent and Central Otago, 15.8 per cent

over the past year in the South Island.

While there are now 10 areas of New Zealand, including Queenstown, where the average house price tops $1 million, there are still six areas where a home can be bought for less than $200,000.

Buller is the only one of those in the South Island at $186,167.

Since the housing market peaked in 2007, prices in the Ashburton District have risen 24.2 per cent. At 65 per cent growth, Mackenzie’s house prices have risen the most, followed by Nelson, 40.5 per cent.

Nationally the strongest growth over the past 10 years has been Manakau north west, 109.2 per cent and Auckland City south, 104.5 per cent. In most parts of Auckland prices have almost doubled since 2007.

Kaikoura, Buller and Grey are the only places in the South Island where house prices are actually lower than they were at the market peak.

and everyone we’ve asked to help has been more than enthusiastic.

The property will run exactly as it would if the Trotts were here.”

For this season Alan Trott will return to speak with tour groups and has committed to making a video about the property that will be available for viewing by visitors, Kilworth said.

Over time the trust will explore

Build consents spike in July The number of consents issued for new homes in the Ashburton District spiked last month, almost doubling on July 2017.

During the month 19 new dwelling consents were issued; in July 2016 new consents numbered just 10. Over the year to June 30, Statistics NZ data shows that 189 new dwelling consents were issued for the district.

Peak months for consents was February, 22 and August, 21.

Numbers slumped in April to just 6.

In having a surge in consent numbers in July, Ashburton ran counter to the national trend where total numbers dropped from 2811 to 2762. Of those consents, 1900 were for houses, 367 for apartments, 350 for townhouses, flats and units and 145 for retirement village units.

Across all consents, Ashburton District Council data shows that 102 consents were issued in July well up on the 68 issued last July.

Year-to-date total number of consents, however is lagging behind 2016 at 574 compared to 625.

possibly staging events and other fundraising opportunities but income would continue to be generated by its use as a venue and by tour groups, she said.

“But number one for us is for the community to take ownership. It would have been criminal to have let this property go and we want to ensure it retains its international garden of sig-

nificance title. Within gardening circles around the world, Alan is known, respected and admired for what he has done.”

The trust will celebrate retaining the garden for the community with an open day on October 29.

This will be a free event where people can explore what is now a community-owned asset.

Labour ahead of National in poll A shock poll has shown Labour moving ahead of National for the first time in 12 years and Jacinda Ardern more popular than Bill English as preferred prime minister.

The 1News Colmar Brunton poll gives Labour 43 per cent of the party vote, up three points on the same poll a fortnight ago, with National dropping three points to 41 per cent.

In the preferred prime minister stakes, Ardern is at 34 per cent, just one point ahead of English on 33 per cent.

NZ First has dropped two points to eight per cent and the Greens would just scrape into parliament with five per cent, a gain of one point on the previous poll.

The big game changer is that Labour, with 52 seats in

Jacinda Ardern parliament, would be able to form a government with NZ First’s 10 seats, without needing any other party.

National, with 50 seats, would need NZ First and support from either ACT or the Maori Party.

The poll was released an hour before English and Ms were due to square off in the first TV leaders debate.

■ ELECTION 2017

$27m pledged for Auckland’s homeless The Government will put $27 million towards Auckland City Mission’s plans for a $75 million housing complex for the homeless in central Auckland.

Social Housing Minister Amy Adams and Prime Minister Bill English announced the money yesterday morning, as well as an expansion of the Housing First project to help homelessness to include Christchurch, Tauranga and Wellington.

The Government has faced flak over homelessness and the announcement during an election campaign is aimed at trying to address any perception it has let the issue get away on it.

English said the announcements were the result of several years work and the decision to work with those in need on an intensive one-on-one basis.

“You can get your arms around these problems if you see the individuals.”

The City Mission rebuild aims to redevelop its central Auckland premises into 80 new studio and one-bedroom units.

English said $18m would be provided upfront and the rest as required. The City Mission and wider Auckland community would cover the remainder of the $75 million cost.

The Government would also provide an income-related rent subsidy to those in the units, expected to take total funding to $78 million over 25 years.

He said the 25-year commitment meant the Mission was not reliant on year-by-year grants and could ensure it was sustainable and had the flexibility to deal with tenants in the way it felt best to change their lives.

The complex rebuild is due to begin next year and be completed by mid-2020.

The Housing First expansion will provide support for up to 450 more people facing chronic homelessness and is aimed at getting people sleeping on the streets into homes and provide them with broader help to get their lives on track.

Adams said it had been successful in Hamilton and Auck-

land and the extra places would benefit Tauranga, Christchurch and Wellington as well.

The places would be allocated as follows: • 100 to Auckland on top of the 472 already provided • Up to 100 in Christchurch • Up to 100 in Tauranga • Up to 150 in Wellington, including Lower Hutt.

Adams said the Government had set aside $16.5 million in the Budget to expand the programme to areas of high need. In the first few months of the Auckland Housing First Initiative between the Government and Auckland Council, about 150 people had been helped off the streets.

“Many of our chronically homeless are grappling with complex problems such as mental health issues or addiction to drugs or alcohol. Housing First quickly moves rough sleepers into appropriate housing and then immediately provides wraparound services to address the issues that led to their homelessness.”

Smallbone New Arrivals!

Peters wants to relocate port New Zealand First leader Winston Peters concedes his Ports of Auckland relocation plan will cost a “significant amount” – but disputes estimates the necessary rail upgrade will cost billions.

“It will cost a significant amount of money,” Peters told media in Wellington today.

Peters has made a “cast-iron commitment” to introduce legislation to move container operations from the Ports of Auckland to Northport near Whangarei by the end of 2027.

KiwiRail has estimated the cost as up to $1b, and improving the rail link for freight through Auckland at another $2-3b.

Peters said the real cost of improving the rail line and extending it to Northport at Marsden Point would actually cost closer to $250 million.

Former Act MP Ken Shirley, chief executive of the Road Transport Forum, labelled the proposal “economic vandalism”, given most goods arriving at the port were destined for Auckland or further south.

Auckland Mayor Phil Goff wants the port moved in the long term, but wants the Firth of Thames investigated as a possible location.

The port is 100 per cent owned

by Auckland Council and last year paid $42.2m in dividends and capital returns.

Transport Minister Simon Bridges has previously said the huge cost of moving the port meant he didn’t think doing so was realistic.

Labour leader Jacinda Ardern said there was no reason Peters’ policy shouldn’t be “part of the mix” of options considered for the port’s long-term future. – NZME

OUR VIEW

Our fire museum a real asset to district Matt Markham

EDITOR

Y

ou can’t help but feel disappointed for the Ashburton Fire Museum today.

Their pitch for a $30,000 one-off grant from the Ashburton District Council to aid their big plan for an extension and upgrade to their museum at the Plains Village in Tinwald was stubbed out yesterday at a finance committee meeting.

There had been talk of a $20,000 grant as opposed to the $30,000 – but even that fell to the wayside as seven councillors and Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel voted not to support the recommendation.

Now, that’s a real shame.

Anyone who has spent time at the Plains Village will know just how much of a valuable asset it is to the Ashburton District and the prospect of seeing the impressive collection of memorabilia and information further extended was a positive one.

And although it will still eventually happen, the fact that our council has voted not to financially support it is a bit of a disappointment.

Perhaps the museum has become a victim of its fundraising success, with $235,000 already raised, making it appear as though they are already well on the way to getting the job done, without the support of the council.

They will roll their sleeves up and get the job done – they’ll band together and come up with the necessary because that’s what organisations like the Ashburton Fire Museum do. But the question is, should they have to?

It appears as though we may have seen a case of fear of setting a precedent and opening the council up to being bound to grant further applications from a limited resource pool in the future?

That’s understandable, because no matter how much you want to, you can’t please everyone but you also, at some point, need to dig the toes in and make a bit of a stand to show you are there to support the things that are of real value to the community.

Unfortunately, on this occasion it would appear the boat has been well and truly missed.

Should you go to work when you’re sick?

Mike Johnson

HUMAN RESOURCES

S

hould you go to work when sick?

We’ve all seen it – a work mate coughing and sneezing at their desk or standing next to you in the factory.

Even when serving in a cafe!

Why? Why do they risk spreading their germs and making us all sick?

The answer may be obvious – if you have no paid sick leave owing, time off means simply no pay and many people cannot afford that. And this situation happens all too often. For a start anyone in their first six months of a job has no sick leave entitlement and for those with young children who are made to stay home from school (even if just with a minor ailment), their five days’ sick leave each year disappears very quickly.

So employees become frustrated and employers cannot easily order someone to go home unless they pay them additional leave!

Business NZ, working with Southern Cross, has just issued their Wellness in the Workplace Survey 2017 and their statistics say 46 per cent of workers will

turn up to work when sick – and yet still 4 1/2 days’ sick leave are taken per person each year.

So sickness and the law will continue to mean people turn up to work sick and continue the cycle; unless we can reduce the level of sickness! And that’s the point, there are many things you can do to reduce the level of sickness requiring time off, and these apply to all sizes of businesses: ■ Try some basic healthy stuff – like a bowl of fresh fruit in the smoko room.

■ Paying for an annual flu jab.

■ Do some company fitness things – like lunchtime

■

■

■

walks, one-on-one meeting walks or occasional weekend tramps.

The Ashburton District is ideally suited to the outdoors, so it should be easy to find positively healthy things to do with work teams.

Be proactive and identify health risks so they can be minimised – use a local medical centre to provide basic health checks each year and provide hand sanitiser in each workplace.

And where you are aware of possibly high levels of sick leave needs (such as a young family) put in place, if you

can, a flexible working arrangement so that hours can be made up from home or at some other time, thus avoiding the pressure to come in when sick.

The important thing is to be open about health issues, to support one another in them and make use of the great environment we have in this district.

Could we bag the bags and create energy?

I

f you ever get the chance to go shopping in Kenya, you’d better B.Y.O.B. That would be “bring your own bags”.

Soon, stores there won’t have any plastic bags to hand out.

Word is that the capital city, Nairobi, is littered with those thin plastic bags that so many merchants automatically include with purchases.

So a new ban on making and importing plastic bags in that country could result in a $38,000 fine.

It is estimated that Kenyan supermarkets alone hand out about 100 million of them every year … or they did.

With the new law, it will be next to impossible for retailers to acquire bags to hand out.

And that could be a good thing.

Plastic bags are not only bad for the environment, they also block sewers and take forever to decompose.

Many other African countries have adopted or announced

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

similar bans.

I read this week that if something isn’t done soon, by the year 2050 we will have more plastic in our oceans than fish!

I guess the wheelie bins are a start for us here in town, now we have to get out of the habit of using shopping bags in our kitchen bin and firing that in the wheelie bin.

While I’m talking plastic, I have a question. Which is worse, letting plastic sit in our landfills for years decomposing or burning it?

I was thinking about this a few weeks back when I was putting some of Maddy’s nappies in the rubbish.

I thought if you could send the country’s nappies (60,000 babies born every year) to the one spot and burned them in a very hot furnace, therefore creating less smoke, then that would be better than them sitting, stinking up a landfill for 50 years.

Here’s the kicker! What about harnessing that heat and turning it into energy, similar to a coal fired power station used to?

Isn’t it amazing how when you think about things, they all of a sudden appear in front of you.

Now before you say, jeez he’s lost the plot this week, here’s what I mean.

The day after I thought about burning the nappies for power, a post appeared on my facebook newsfeed about Sweden.

They produce 4.8 million tons of garbage a year, but only 1 per cent of that ends up in landfills.

The rest is recycled or BURNT. The burning trash heats water that powers a turbine and generates energy. Three tons of

trash contains as much energy as one ton of fuel oil. They also claim the smoke it emits is 99 per cent non-toxic CO2 and water.

They even import garbage from nearby countries.

Surely this is something for us in clean, green (cough cough) New Zealand to look into?

QUICK MEAL

■ Preheat the oven to 220°C. ■ Lamb: Trim the fat layer off the lamb rack. Rub the rack with a little oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan until hot, then sear the lamb for a

2 1 6 3

few minutes each side to brown (or if you leave the fat layer on, cook this side longer to render out some of the fat and crisp it up nicely). Transfer the lamb to a roasting dish and bake in the oven for 12-16 minutes depending on how you like it done.

Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving across the grain.

■ Rosti: Squeeze as much liquid out of the grated potato as you can – the more the better. Com-

bine the potato, rosemary and melted butter in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.

■ Press down into 5-6 patties about 2cm thick. Heat oil over a medium-high heat and fry the rosti until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to the middle of the oven for 15-20 minutes to finish cooking while the lamb rests.

■ Pistou: Place all ingredients in a food processor or mortar and pestle and blend (or chop everything very finely). You may need to add more oil if it’s too thick.

Taste and season if required.

■ To serve: Slice the lamb rack into 1 or 2 bone cutlets, drizzle with a little pistou and serve with the rosti and a salad or vegetables.

Hilux TRD cuts distinctive path These days, perhaps if you want to stand out from the crowd you may not choose a Ute, or SUV, because that seems to be what nearly everyone else is buying.

Well Toyota answer that with their limited edition TRD (Toyota Racing Development) Hilux. With its matte black TRD accessories adding a visual point of difference, together with its remote locking, motorised plastic hard lid, it certainly stands out!

My guess is, that when dressing this Hilux in its TRD garb including the sports bar, 18 inch black alloy wheels, flared mudguards, honeycomb front grille and nudge bar, Toyota was aiming for it to appeal to a younger (slightly) age bracket than that of the Summer Wine Cyclists.

However when accompanying the group on a recent bike trip it was the subject of many cabin and seat position try outs, deck inspections, general tyre kicking; and many favourable comments.

The TRD is based on the SR5 double-cab diesel and available in both 2WD and 4WD vwesionswith a choice of either the 6-speed manual as driven, or the alternative 6-speed auto.

Accordingly the familiar 2.8

litre turbo-diesel producing 130kW and 420Nm of torque from 1600 to 4200rpm sits under the bonnet. Which the reasonably short throw of the manual, and the selectable “power” mode, in appropriate circumstances allows you to make full use of. Then at open road cruise the rev-counter sits at 1500rpm.

The cabin with its large centre infotainment screen complete with sat-nav has a refined look and feel about it.

Although the men of the land amongst the group, reckoned covers for the black, cloth-covered seats would be advisable.

And while we only did a little mild off-roading it was clear

that the addition of the TRD bling certainly won’t curtail its ability to do all the hard yards that its less well dressed siblings do so well. The large rotary switch means a quick and easy selection for 4WD and high and low ratios.

While the remote locking, motorised plastic hard lid for the tray will restrict load heights, it’s

great to be able securely stow your stuff therein. It’s complete with an LED light and anti-slip liner.

This Hilux TRD which cuts a distinctive path through the urban jungle or off the beaten track costs $64,075 for the manual 4WD or $55,400 for a 2WD. Autos cost approximately an extra $2600 (all plus ORCs).

Up and running thanks to Holden When Black Ferns Captain, Fiao’o Fa’amausili (right), arrived back in New Zealand after the high of winning the Rugby World Cup, the last thing she thought she’d have to deal with was car trouble – especially in the middle of a torrential Auckland downpour.

“Returning home to share celebrations with family and friends was amazing, but my car issues certainly brought me back to reality with a real bump,” Fa’amausili said.

“In a moment of frustration I fired off a vehicle related tweet so I was blown away when the team at Holden reached out to me and offered the use of a new Colorado to get me mobile again.”

Holden New Zealand managing director, Kristian Aquilina, said it was a pleasure to be able to help the Black Ferns Captain in her moment of need.

“Fiao’o was really gracious and incredibly thankful that we were able to help her out of a sticky situation, Aquilina said.

“We, along with the rest of the country, are really proud of the Black Ferns winning the Rugby World Cup and it’s a privilege to be able to do something small for their captain to recognise their success.

“The Colorado LTZ 4x4 will be the perfect vehicle to get Fiao’o to all her media and team commitments, as well as cope with Auckland weather!”

The new BMW i3 The BMW i3 shows the way ahead to a new era of mobility. It is recognised the world over as a symbol of driving pleasure, sustainability and intelligent connectivity in the urban traffic environment, which is why it has become the best-selling electric car in the premium compact segment.

The recipe for success of the BMW i3 has now been further improved, thanks not just to refreshing styling accents, cuttingedge equipment features and new digital services, but also to the addition of a new model variant.

For making its debut alongside the new edition of the first ever premium car to be conceived from the outset for all-electric mobility is the BMW i3s. With a higher output, model-specific chassis technology, noticeably more dynamic driving qualities and design features all of its own, it generates a particularly intense blend of the unrivalled sporty driving pleasure associated with electric cars from the BMW Group.

By offering a premium-quality, allelectric driving experience, meaning zero local emissions, together with a whole new level of connectivity technology, both models represent the future of urban mobility.

By offering such products while also adopting an all-embracing approach that takes into account the complete lifecycle – from raw material production, through the manufacture and operation of the vehicles to their later recycling – the BMW

i brand has established itself as a pioneer for forward-thinking mobility.

BMW eDrive electric motor in two output levels, high-voltage battery with large capacity of 94 Ah/33 kWh, optional range extender engine.

The driving experience in the BMW i models has played no small part in the growing appeal and popularity of electric mobility.

Following systematic refinement, the

BMW eDrive technology aboard the new BMW i3 and new BMW i3s enables drivers to enjoy locally emission-free mobility with wonderfully instantaneous power delivery, efficient use of energy and an optimised range for a level of everyday practicality that even extends beyond the demands of purely urban travel.

Both models draw their energy from the lithium-ion high-voltage battery developed by the BMW Group with a

capacity of 94 ampere hours (Ah) or 33 kilowatt hours (kWh). A range extender engine can be ordered as an option for both the new BMW i3 and the new BMW i3s.

The new BMW i3 and new BMW i3s will celebrate their world premieres at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt/Main later this month.

The global market launch will begin in November 2017.

Ford details environmental progress Ford Motor Company has released its 18th annual Sustainability Report, including a short film, detailing its environmental progress across the world and commitment to continued sustainability actions in the future.

Since 2000, Ford has published its Sustainability Report to track its comprehensive approach to managing the issues related to climate change, air quality and conservation, and identifying opportunities that have significant impacts across the business, from water stewardship to supplier training and education.

The 2016-17 Ford Sustainability Report highlights key environmental benchmarks and the automaker’s ongoing work to address issues related to climate change, including:

Water stewardship Believing that access to clean water is a human right, Ford made the decision to join the Business Alliance for Water and Climate “Improve Water Security” initiative enables the company to help analyse water-related risks, implement collaborative response strategies and reduce impacts on water availability and quality in both direct operations and along the value chain. Since 2000, Ford has cut water use by more than 61 per cent, with a goal of zero usage of drinkable water in manufacturing. In addition, Ford suppliers who participate in the voluntary Partnership for a Cleaner Environment programme are on track to save an estimated 550 million gallons of water over the next five years – enough to fill 837 competition-sized swimming pools, according to data collected in 2016.

Sustainable materials Ford continued to expand its sustainable materials research efforts through a collaboration with Jose Cuervo to explore the

use of agave plants to develop a sustainable bioplastic material to incorporate in vehicles, giving the agave fiber byproduct a second chance at usefulness.

Almost 300 vehicle parts are derived from renewable sources such as soybeans, cotton, wood, flax, jute and natural rubber.

Sustainable manufacturing Ford has an ongoing commitment to reducing waste in its manufacturing facilities, and as part of that commitment, the automaker expanded its aluminum closed-loop recycling system to three factories. Now in use at Dearborn Stamping, Kentucky Truck and Buffalo Stamping facilities, Ford’s system recycles 20 million pounds of military-grade aluminum alloy

a month, enough to build more than 37,000 F-Series truck bodies a month.

reduced by nearly 500,000 metric tons globally in the next five years.

Supply chain sustainability

Waste reduction

In addition to reducing the company’s own environmental footprint, Ford is reducing the footprint of its supply chain with an enhanced Partnership for a Cleaner Environment programme that has grown to more than 40 suppliers in 40 countries – up from just 25 suppliers in 2015.

Partnership for a Cleaner Environment, which originally focused on water and energy conservation, now has grown to offer best practices for reducing waste, carbon dioxide and air emissions.

Ford expanded its true zerowaste-to-landfill programme to 82 Ford facilities around the world – 49 manufacturing facilities and 33 nonmanufacturing facilities – where absolutely no waste goes to landfill.

This includes the historical Ford Rouge Center, the largest complex in the company to send no manufacturing waste to landfills, as well as the North American World Headquarters – diverting more than 240,000 pounds of waste from landfills.

The report also details yearover-year progress and goals around the company’s work in the areas of improving safety

and fuel economy, reducing manufacturing carbon dioxide, the company global electrification strategy and more.

Responsible business For the eighth year in a row, Ford was named to Ethisphere Institute’s “World’s Most Ethical Company” list – the only automaker to achieve this recognition.

Ford is proud of all of accomplishments made in its sustainability journey over the last two decades, but it’s not over – there is still much more work to be done.

“We’ve come a long, long way and we’ve got a long way to go,” said Bill Ford in the film. “We believe we have an obligation to leave this world better than we found it.”

The third Cayenne Porsche held a spectacular event in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen to unveil the new Cayenne.

The third generation of the successful model, more than 760,000 units of which have been sold since 2002, is a completely new development.

The Cayenne S has a top speed of 265km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in under five seconds.

“We have completely redeveloped our successful model. It has been visibly and tangibly improved and perfected in all respects. The Cayenne has also been digitalised and networked throughout to give it a forward-thinking design,” Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board at Porsche AG said.

Porsche has also enhanced the look

of the Cayenne significantly: “Our primary objective was to accentuate the character of the vehicle. More Porsche, more Cayenne. The new Cayenne is more precise, elegant, athletic and expressive,” Michael Mauer, Director of Style at Porsche AG said.

The new Cayenne is based heavily on the iconic 911 sports car: For the first time, the SUV features mixed tyres and rear-axle steering. In addition, the onroad capabilities are further improved by active all-wheel-drive as standard, Porsche 4D Chassis Control, three-chamber air suspension, the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) electronic roll stabilisation system and the newly developed, high-performance Porsche Surface Coated Brake (PSCB). Despite

its extended standard equipment, the Cayenne weighs up to 65 kilograms less than its predecessor and remains perfectly suited to off-road use.

The third generation of the Porsche Cayenne is available to order now in

Europe. Pricing and specification for the Cayenne and Cayenne S for New Zealand have not been finalised and therefore will not be announced until early in 2018.

New Zealand deliveries will begin from mid-2018.

ON THE MARKETS

per cent for the month. Summerset Group (SUM) saw a healthy net profit for the year, continuing to see strong growth as the business matures. SUM also provided a solid outlook for FY18.

Of course, we cannot talk about the winners of the reporting season without talking about the disappointments. Metro Performance Glass (MPG) was certainly the biggest disappointment over the period after the company gave a poor outlook for FY18 at its annual meeting.

After four months of trading in FY18 MPG cited softer trading conditions in New Zealand and slowing activity in Christchurch as key reasons for the change.

MPG’s share price has tumbled almost 28 per cent for the month and is now the worst performer on the NZX50, year to date.

Trade Me (TME) and Sky TV (SKT) were both punished following their results, despite numbers being largely in line with expectations. It was once again the outlook that investors focused on with both companies expecting increasing competition in their respective fields, which is likely to have a material impact.

SKT continued to see a decline in subscriber numbers as competition continues to increase from digital subscription services like Netflix. The company also has to pay more for content, putting a squeeze on margins.

Across the Tasman report-

ing season wasn’t as bright and cheery as it was in New Zealand, with a number of high profile companies missing expectations and disappointing investors.

Overall, the average earnings growth for FY17 was in line with expectations, this was masked by an exceptionally positive reporting season from the resources sector. Excluding the materials and energy sectors, average earnings missed slightly for FY17, however, the outlook for the coming year saw a significant decrease.

Moving away from reporting season and looking towards global markets, uncertainty has again become a feature.

Early in the week, North Korea fired a missile across the northern island of Japan. This sent markets into a spin, and when combined with Hurricane Harvey in the US it has been a difficult week for investors.

Tensions eased towards the end of the week and the US market received a boost after President Donald Trump again talked about the need for tax reform.

However, given that the healthcare reform he promised is yet to come to fruition, many remain sceptical on the likelihood of this eventuating.

eporting season trickled to a close this week in Australasia, with just a handful of companies reporting results.

Overall, the reporting season has been positive with most companies in New Zealand meeting or exceeding expectations. This has meant the market has remained in positive territory, even with the lofty valuations seen heading into the earnings season. More than 70 per cent of NZX companies grew earnings in 2017 with an average growth rate of 8.5 per cent.

There were some definite stand-outs over the reporting period that were duly rewarded by the market for their respective victories. The two that stand out in this respect are a2 Milk (ATM) and Comvita (CVT).

Expectations for both companies’ 2018 earnings were upgraded substantially as ATM continues to see strong demand growth for its products in both Australia and China, while CVT is starting to see a turnaround from the issues it has experienced over the past year.

Unsurprisingly, these two companies are the top performers for the month, both seeing gains of more than 20 per cent. ATM is also the top performer for the year to date, rising more than 160 per cent so far. CVT remains underwater for the year, after being hit hard at the start of the year by the discovery of Myrtle Rust.

Other honourable mentions go to Air New Zealand (AIR) and Tourism Holdings (THL), who both reported better than expected results and provided positive outlook statements as tourism continues to be strong. Both companies have been rewarded with price rises of more than 6

Yesterday the board said it had “reviewed this work and resolved that some investee companies are ‘off model’ due to a low Powerhouse shareholding and other factors.”

Powerhouse went public in an $A10.2m initial public offering last year at $A1.07 a share. It traded at 35 Australian cents on the ASX on Wednesday, when the company said managing director Stephen Hampson had resigned, effective immediately, and has been replaced by chief financial officer Paul Viney.

The company reiterated its comments of last week that it is considering an unsolicited offer for some of its shares in one investee company. If that occurred, Powerhouse would “benefit from a substantial immediate cash inflow and a fair value uplift,” it said yesterday.

The carrying value of its portfolio of companies fell to $17.5m as at June 30 from $20.7m a year earlier, with the Hydroworks impairment offset by valuation uplifts for its 33 per cent-owned Photonic Innovations and other companies including Syft Technologies (since sold).

Powerhouse said it expects an increase in the value of its portfolio in 2018 and combined with “stringent cost control and the potential for value creation events is expected to result in much stronger earnings in H1 FY18 and an increase in NTA per share,” it said.

Net tangible assets per share dropped to 68 cents at balance date from $1.17 a year earlier.

The biggest shareholder in Powerhouse is Christchurch City Council-owned Canterbury Development Corp with 22.5 per cent.

Powerhouse Ventures turned to a full-year loss after writing off its investment in hydroelectric turbine designer Hydroworks and recognising other one-time decreases in the value of its investments.

The Christchurch-based, ASXlisted incubator reported a net loss of $11.2 million in the 12 months ended June 30 from a profit of $765,000 a year earlier.

Total income and fair value changes were a deficit of $907,763 compared with income of $8m a year earlier. Expenses rose to $11.7m from $5.9m.

An interim liquidator was appointed to Hydroworks, in which Powerhouse holds a 24 per cent stake, this month. Powerhouse’s full-year accounts show a $4.3m impairment to write off its investment in the business, $2.3m to fully impair short-terms loans and interest owed to the company by Hydroworks and $1m for the potential impact of a lien held by the bankers of Hydroworks.

Powerhouse also took a onetime charge of about $3.1m to reduce the value of other investments in its portfolio, which it didn’t identify.

Statue design finalised Kadeen Corbin, Helen Housby and Chelsea Pitman of England celebrate their four-goal win over the Silver Ferns.

■ NETBALL

Ferns rebuild looks shaky

BY DANA JOHANNSEN Suddenly those predictions of a Australia v England Commonwealth Games final don’t seem so fanciful.

The English Roses 49-45 Quad Series defeat of the Silver Ferns last night has given world netball a shake-up as crunch time in the four-year cycle approaches.

England have long been talked up as a potential threat to the world netball’s established order, but that chatter has got louder this season with Netball Australia seemingly taking on the role as the Roses’ hype girls.

They reason because England has several athletes playing, and in the cases of Geva Mentor, Serena Guthrie and Jo Harten starring, in the Australian league that the Roses will soon be challenging for the top spot in world netball. (That the England Net-

ball has had a $30 million cash injection from a lotteries grant, $5.3m of which is directed to the national programme is, apparently, immaterial).

Ironically, what makes England a real threat at next year’s Commonwealth Games is that their players won’t be playing in the Australian league in the leadup. With the Gold Coast tournament kicking off in April next year, the start of the Australian competition has been pushed back to May. This will afford English coach Tracey Neville a luxury that her predecessors haven’t tended to have since the introduction of the now defunct transtasman league – time together as a unit.

Having their key players based on the other side of the world for large chunk of the year has had a detrimental affect on England’s preparation for pinnacle events.

While some of England’s key players now reside in Australia permanently, their franchise commitments won’t be as great over the next eight months, allowing Neville to hold regular squad camps.

But we should be wary of trumpeting the arrival of a new era of England netball supremacy on the basis of one performance.

There have been many false dawns for the Roses. They were supposed to be contesting for the gold at the 2011 World Cup, and then again at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and then again at the World Cup the following year in Sydney.

The English have proven capable of pulling off one-off wins against the Ferns, what they haven’t been able to do is do it consistently.

For that reason next week’s three-test series between New

RUGBY DEVELOPMENT

Zealand and England will be a better gauge of the relative strengths of each team.

The the last time the English beat the Ferns in late 2014, New Zealand came back to demolish the Roses by 14 goals in the second test.

That loss prompted a dramatic rethink in Waimarama Taumaunu’s programme, resulting in series of bold changes ahead of the World Cup. But Janine Southby isn’t in the position where she can implement widespread changes to her squad.

The Silver Ferns have already undergone significant change over the past year, with a record eight players making their international debut in the space of 12 months.

Wednesday night’s loss shows there is a long way to go with the rebuild.

- NZME

After months of deliberation, the final design for a statue of former All Black captain Richie McCaw, to be erected in Kurow, has been chosen.

The bronze statue design shows McCaw standing holding a rugby ball.

Kurow Museum Committee chairman Bob Watherston said the design was given final approval by McCaw and his family. ‘’It’s what Richie wanted. It represents a staunch look before kickoff; or something like that. We had very little to do with it. We left that to the family and sculptor.’’

The statue would stand on a plinth and was expected to be a bit bigger than the real McCaw. “Not quite two metres.’’

The statue was to be created by Lyttelton sculptor Mark Whyte.

Just over $20,000 had been raised so far for the statue which was expected to cost up to $170,000, Watherston said. However, work on it has already started.

“It’s not related to the funding.’’

Negotiations were under way with private landowners near the children’s playground on State Highway 83 for a space to place the statue.

Ideally, it would sit where a giant cutout of McCaw stands, Watherston said.

“We’re starting to record the number of people who photograph it each day. Tourists stop.

I’m sure it will be a popular tourist stop.’’

It was hoped it would be in place sometime in February 2018.

In brief Soliola not targeted It might have been the mostscrutinised hit of the NRL season, but Canberra captain Jarrod Croker doesn’t expect Melbourne to seek retribution for Sia Soliola’s knockout blow on Billy Slater.

Soliola is set to return from a five-match suspension in Saturday night’s final-round clash at AAMI Park. It will be the versatile forward’s first game since giving the Storm’s superstar fullback a heavy concussion in round 20.

But Croker doesn’t think revenge will be high on the minor premiers’ list of priorities, as they fine-tune their title bid.

“They’re a professional side it’s a professional sport. While he copped one, it wasn’t an intentional hit,” Croker said. - AAP

Waratahs sign Simmons Dumped Queensland lock Rob Simmons will resurrect his Super Rugby career with the NSW Waratahs after signing a two-year deal. The 28-year-old was axed by the Reds after 114 games but still managed to earn a call-up to the Wallabies’ starting side for last week’s tight Bledisloe Cup loss to New Zealand. Showing he still had plenty to offer, the Waratahs saw him as a valuable recruit with Dean Mumm retiring and Will Skelton heading to England to play. - NZN

Hammers history: North Otago

By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

In what will be the first southern derby of this year’s Heartland Championship, Mid Canterbury will travel south to take on North Otago.

Last season the two sides met twice, with the Hammers taking out the early-season honours when they downed the Old

Golds 40-32. However, North Otago would get their revenge in the Lochore Cup semifinal, turning the tables at the Ashburton Showgrounds to win 3624.

That defeat saw the end of a four-match winning streak for the Hammers against the Oamaru-based side, with the previous win coming back in

2013, where they won by one point 19-18.

The only years North Otago were able to earn back-to-back victories were in 2010 and 2011, with Mid Canterbury’s longest winning streak coming before that of five games.

The sides have met 15 times since the Heartland Championship began in 2006, with the

Hammers winning 10 of the clashes. Mid Canterbury hold the honour of the largest winning margin between the two sides, taking out a 21-point victory in 2014.

History has shown the matches between the two sides are generally close, with the average points difference between the two sides of 2.66.

■ OPINION

How level is a so-called level playing field?

T

here has been a fair bit of discussion coming out of the US golfing world in the past few days after Dustin Johnson downed Jordan Spieth in a play-off at the Northern Trust Open.

The main argument is that the hole selected for the playoff had an unfair advantage for power-hitter Johnson, which, on the face of it, is true.

He was able to jump the watery dog-leg to put himself considerably closer to the green than the shorter hitting Spieth, who also had less fairway to aim for.

Jaime Pitt-MacKay SPORTS REPORTER

Most are either saying that it was unfair as it was not an even playing field, or others saying that Johnson was simply using the skills he has to his advantage, and that Spieth could have easily holed out his second shot while Johnson

dropped his straight in the bunker.

In theory, there is a level playing field no matter what, as both players were having to play the same hole.

On the rugby field for example, everyone is playing the same game on the same field, and yes the little halfback could easily get smashed by the prop, but in the same game, he could easily sidestep said prop so badly he would have nightmares for the next two to three months.

But in reality, we know that is not true, teams very much can

be better than one another, and some might be much bigger, faster and stronger than the others.

But that is why we love sports, it is because it isn’t even, but that does not mean the result is going to be what you expect.

In England’s FA Cup, nobody expects the smaller teams from the lower leagues to make it to the latter stages of the competition, but yet they do, because that is the magic of sport.

Nothing is fair in life, so just sit back, relax and enjoy it, because that is what makes sports great.

Reon Edwards has been confirmed as New Zealand Rugby League’s new chairman. Edwards has a strong commercial background, and brings 37 years of rugby league experience as a player and administrator to the role, an NZRL statement said yesterday.

He has served on the NZRL board since 2015, and has been interim chairman since Garry Fissenden stood down in June. Recently appointed director Hugh Martyn has been named vice-chairman.

Rooney targets gold Natalie Rooney returns to the international trap shooting range determined to once again make history for New Zealand. The Olympic silver medallist returns from an international hiatus to compete at the shotgun world championships in Moscow this weekend, hoping to justify her No.1 world ranking. No Kiwi has won a world championship shooting medal. However, the 29-yearold has become accustomed to breaking barriers. Her silver at Rio a year ago made her the first woman and first shotgun exponent from New Zealand to climb an Olympic podium. The only other Kiwi medallist was Ian Ballinger (rifle bronze) in 1968.

Hastings to lead Stars Bowler John Hastings has replaced the retired David Hussey as the new skipper of the Melbourne Stars for the next edition of the Big Bash League. Having been with the club since its inception, Hastings is the Stars’ leading wicket-taker, claiming 40 across 28 matches. The 31-year-old Australian representative said he was thrilled to take over the captaincy. “I’m very honoured to be the captain of the Melbourne Stars,” Hastings said.

Trainer in Astroturf’s camp

Michael Daly is bullish about the chances of Astroturf at Ashburton today.

The Timaru trainer also has Mystic Power in the Talleys Handicap, but given reasonable luck in the running he fancies the chances of the stablemate.

“Hopefully, Mystic Power will go to the front and get to the fence where he likes to be and if he gets a soft lead he would take some running down,” Daly said.

“But Astroturf has got a lot more ability and if he is within a couple of lengths of the other horse with 600 metres to run, then I would expect Astroturf to win. He loves the track.”

A two-time winner on the course, the son of Encosta de Lago was suc-

cessful at Timaru two runs back before he was unplaced at Riccarton after covering too much extra ground.

“He went a good race considering how wide he went,” Daly said. “He made up good ground in the last 70 or so metres.”

Astroturf has proved a tidy investment for Daly who signed for the gelding for $4000 at the 2014 Mixed Bloodstock Sale at Karaka.

“He’d had a wind operation before I bought him and he had another one at Christmas time, but he’s got absolutely no issues with his breathing now,” he said.

Out of the Group Two-winning mare Astrodame, Astroturf has been successful in seven of his 32 starts for Daly.

Races acknowledge top service to Racing Centre

By GreG Jones Spring racing commences in Ashburton today with a nine race programme starting at 12.10pm.

Two of the races are named after former employees of the Racing Centre to acknowledge the excellent service in secretarial and financial areas to the club for many years.

In fact, Fiona Stuart has contributed 36 years of professional, dedicated service to an industry she is passionate about and her ability, energy, common sense and willingness to take on leadership resulted in her being the general manager in recent times. Her retirement is wellmerited but she will be undoubtedly missed.

Efficiency personified, Gareth Murfitt has been the secretary for close on seven years and his personable, cheerful approach and strength in, and willingness to help in, technology, has helped the club immeasurably.

Gareth has gained a higher level position with the Canterbury Jockey Club.

Racing during one of the wettest winters in recent times has taken a toll on the quantity of horses available to race and while three of the races are light on numbers, the other six races have good-sized competitive fields.

Of note is the presence of runners from the ever powerful Te Akau Stables and they invariable unleash a quality 3-year-old early in the season down in the South Island.

The first looks to be an intriguing contest with the front running Locally Sauced ridden by the master Chris Johnson looking to hold out the locally trained Cheri Trembath runner St Andrews Masonic who possesses a massive finish. This seems destined to be the quinella.

In the second, Astroturf has won five races at this distance and is not overly burdened in weight so can take this out. Precious Percy will likely appreciate the better track conditions and is an honest type.

Shezatoucha has form at the distance and of significance is Johnson has chosen to take the ride over some other regular mounts.

The maiden distance event should result in Hell Bound gaining its first victory over an average line-up on paper. Hou La La has improved form over this distance recently and looks the main danger. Name of the Stars and Justrush should complete the first four.

The pick in race 4 is Bells of Ouzeley which is first up in over a year, but showed ability at trials and was always well-supported, so that is cause for optimism.

Zavistic represents the Te Akau team and

trialled well enough recently to suggest it will dispute the finish. Drappier and On Point are others to consider as both have shown above average ability.

The fifth event contains some potentially smart three-year-olds with limited disclosed form. Swing Note has the best form in stronger company than this and may be the best horse, although the stable jockey is riding the stablemate.

Upperhand, Madam Swiss and Sebring’s Delight all performed well and showed speed in limited opportunities as two-year-olds and will have certainly developed enough to put in the multi bets.

The winner of first leg of the quaddie appears to be between the high priced yearling from Te Akau, Heart of Courage, the local Scooby which has run two cracking races for Nifty and the boys, and the consistent Moyrabella whose chances would soar if the rain stayed away. La Roccetta looks best of the rest.

Race 7 is a tricky affair with seasoned campaigners Pinzano and Flash Suggestion (good frontrunner) who have multiple wins against their names up against some one win horses who are on the improve. Darkseid is definitely a horse with upside and is capable of winning this fresh. Ultra Chic (also fresh) and Mira (dropping back in distance) also have realistic chances.

Larrikin is set a task first up over 1600m in the penultimate race but both placings in the last campaign were full of merit and he is the logical top pick. Faltaine has looked a topliner at the trials but seems to be susceptible to the increased pressure of raceday, but it has always been well-supported so where there is smoke … Vapo is another which has garnered tote support without a return so far and it too could improve racing on the home track.

High Play has placed before over the trip and trainer Mike McCann has a strike rate second to none here.

The last of the day at 4.52 looks made to order for Minutes to Midnight which has both form and fitness to be hardest to beat. Do Uno Whoiam generally performs well here and this looks to be a suitable objective while Passamaquoddy has more ability than most and can win if the track is not too deep.

The roughie could be Golden Bay, a recent addition to the Trembath stable, who has struggled this campaign on the very heavy tracks and the new environment can often work wonders.

Best Bet: Race 5 Swing Note Best Outsider: Race 9 Passamaquoddy

The front runner What’s on: Friday: Ashburton Gallops, Addington Harness, Addington Dogs and Wanganui Dogs.

Saturday: Hastings and Ruakaka Gallops.

Sunday: Te Aroha Gallops, Forbury Park Harness, Manakau Dogs.

Local luck: There was plenty to like about the debut effort of Mid Canterbury pacer, Norman Richards at Oamaru last week and he returns to the races tonight at Addington and should be a big show.

Trained by John Hay and driven by Ineka Lee the five-year-old has taken his time to get to the races, but looks set to make the most of it now.

Punting pool: Last Week: $60 return. Pool: $140 Success last week with The Bus victorious, and he paid a nice price too. Now to continue that form. We will head to Ashburton today and look to the always powerful Terri Rae stable to guide us home in Race 7 with the talented Darksied who was

so impressive when winning on the track last season. Should be hard to beat fresh up today. $20 to win.

Star trialist – Stunin Love: Keep an eye out for this little brother to champion pacer Terror To Love when he makes his debut. Trained

by Paul Court at West Melton he’s by speedy pacer Stunin Cullen so has a bit on his side when it comes to the breeding department and based on his trial win at Rangiora on Wednesday he’s got a bit of a future.

Who am I?: I was described in a national newspaper article as The Man From Snowy Methven and could be found most at home on the back of a horse clearing fences. A champion jumps jockey with an impressive list of victories next to my name during my time in the saddle, I’m now retired from riding but was used by Trackside as a comments man for a number of seasons and also round at the start where you could find me on the back of a horse talking about runners.

From the files: No particular name or face in this photo. But it is a wonderful action shot from the Ashburton Racing Club’s July meeting last year as the field makes their way out of the gates and start to get into their action.

Eastwood, Les Archer, and Doyle, to oversee the club’s football department.

The group met once a month throughout this season, but while it’s understood they provided Kearney with some good guidance and input, their influence failed to translate into improved on-field performances.

Kearney is open to having a Football Director work alongside him, having previously served at Melbourne Storm (20062010) as an assistant to head coach Craig Bellamy - who is closely aided by Frank Ponissi - one of the best Football Directors in the business.

“That’s something we’re working through at the moment,” said Kearney.

“We’re looking at the whole business, in the sense of how can we be better, and if that’s one area that can do with improvement then we’ll certainly look at that.”

Departing Warriors second-rower Ryan Hoffman has also enjoyed a long association with Ponissi, having played 11 years across two stints at the Storm. The 304 game veteran believes the Warriors could benefit from making a similar appointment.

“It’s shown at Melbourne that the football director’s role has been beneficial,” Hoffman said.

“Basically that role is just taking all of the other worries away from the head coach so all the head coach has to worry about is coaching the football team. Frank handles everything else and all Craig has to worry about is coaching the football team.

“I certainly think it would be beneficial.”

Hoffman is considering an offer to finish his career back at Melbourne and has expressed a desire to learn from Ponissi and potentially succeed him as the club’s Head of Football.

“Definitely. Over the years, because I didn’t know what I wanted to do post-football, seeing how Frank works, I see that as a role that I would like to take on,” he said.

“I don’t see myself as a coach but I see myself as a person that could have a benefit to the game in an administrative role.”

New Warriors boss Cameron George has confirmed the club is considering introducing a new Football Director role as they look to drag themselves out of the mire ahead of next season.

Having missed the NRL finals for a sixth straight year the club is looking to rebuild the Warriors into a genuine top eight side and considering ways to provide increased support and resources to head coach Stephen Kearney.

Following Sunday’s last round clash against Wests Tigers in Sydney, Warriors management will begin a thorough review of all aspects of their business and football departments, but have already discussed installing an experienced campaigner to oversee all of the club’s football operations.

The Football Director would take a leading role in player recruitment and development, and liaise with Kearney, George, assistant coaches Stacey Jones and Andrew McFadden, and recruitment manager Tony Iro, on all key decisions.

“Rest assured, it’s not only being just looked at, it’s being explored,” said George, who last week replaced former managing director Jim Doyle as the Warriors new CEO. “For me, it’s purely about doing whatever we need to do to ensure that we have the right structure in place to provide a no excuse environment.

“They (Football Directors) play a significant role, in recruitment and development, not just what we’re doing on the park. It’s all pathways leading to be a NRL player with the Warriors.

“Where that ends up in year one will be better than where we’re at now because we’re possibly stretched in resources in that area.

“So we need to have a look at ways we can invest in those areas and put a mindset in place to drive change.”

Following last year’s 10th place finish, the Warriors announced the formation of a Football Advisory Board, enlisting former All Blacks World Cup winning coach Sir Graham Henry, experienced NFL coach Eric Mangini, former Warriors forward Awen Guttenbeil, board director Owen

Puzzles

Puzzles and horoscopes www.guardianonline.co.nz Cryptic crossword

Friday, September 1, 2017

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Many situations are ambiguous.

The way we interpret them gives context and meaning. To take a neutral situation and turn it into something negative is to needlessly drain a little joy from your life. Let in the light.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): When working harder doesn’t solve it, stop. You don’t want to exhaust your energy in the wrong direction. There’s no need to prove you’re the hardest worker.

You’re into getting results. So ask for advice.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Contraction is the natural reaction to the cold or hardness of either external or internal circumstances – a narrowing of focus and life. Now what will you do to counter it?

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You know a lot on the subject at hand and will be asked for your opinion.

You’ll be slow to weigh in, though, ever aware that there are always new insights. Peers will respect your humility.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): When you’re really “on” (as you’ll find you will frequently be over the next three weeks) your stories will be like theme park rides that take people out of the atmosphere and into a new world and safely back.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Some things are beautiful because they fit so perfectly into a well-defined niche. Other things are beautiful because they are so difficult to explain or define. The latter kind brings today’s wonderment.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The human fight-or-flight response only works with outside stimuli. No human can run fast enough to get away from his or her inner life. An accepting, gentle conversation will do much good, though.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Nothing is interesting until someone is interested in it. When you pay attention and hook into what fascinates you, you’ll make the subject more appealing to others. Your curiosity is a public service.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Let stressful thoughts float by. There’s a lot running through your head that you can safely dismiss, if only because you’ve already thought it before.

What’s new and important will stand out.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): People show appreciation in the way they know how. Often, it’s not timely or polite, but we’re not all coming from the same teaching in that regard. Let it go and accept kindness however it comes.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): They’re seeking the same thing: love, peace and connection. Of course, a fair exchange of goods, services and money would be nice, too. You might get it all.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): When you get a whiff of something that reminds you of the past, this can trigger an incommensurable emotional response in you that’s not an accurate representation of what’s actually going on.

Hudson rebuts criticism All Whites boss Anthony Hudson has brushed aside criticism from A-League club Brisbane Roar, who believe the dismissal of Dane Ingham from this week’s pre-World Cup qualifier camp was poorly handled.

Ingham, a four-cap fullback who made his international debut in March, was sent home by Hudson this week for arriving at camp out of shape. “He was unfit, his body fat was high – we’ve given him a couple of fitness tests and he’s not where he needs to be,” Hudson said on Tuesday.

Rep selection a shock

BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

In what has been a meteoric rise for Mid Canterbury Rugby player Tom Hanham-Carter, another string has been added to his bow with a call-up to the Under-19 Heartland team that will compete at the Jock Hobbs Memorial Tournament in a few weeks.

“I only found out this morning after getting a text from a mate saying congratulations, so my brother had a look,” Hanham-Carter said.

“It was a bit of a shock.

“I’m looking forward to the tournament and getting to meet all the new guys from the other Heartland regions.”

Hanham-Carter, who is the son of Rakaia co-coach Sean Carter, came down to help the squad with numbers in his first year out of high school.

He has gone on to play in

two major club finals and start the first game of the Heartland Championship for the Mid Canterbury first team at centre, next to former All Black Regan King.

“I did have a goal to make it into a Mid Canterbury team, but I definitely did not expect it to be the seniors,” he said.

“I am still learning and a lot of the guys have a lot of experience which is great.

“I’ve always played either first-five or at centre and Regan (King) has been at second-five and he is always helping and always talking to you.”

Hanham-Carter attended St Bede’s College in Christchurch, playing for their 2nd XV. “I picked up an injury at the start of the year so only ended up playing for the 2nd XV which was a bit annoying but I was with my mates, so it wasn’t too bad,” he said.

Gunning for gold P25

A rugby player from the age of four or five, and playing at firstfive, Hanham-Carter always had a pretty obvious person to look up to, especially when they share a last name.

“Dan Carter, I always used to watch him on the television,” he said.

Through injuries, HanhamCarter kicked off the Heartland campaign starting at centre, a position he had not played before.

“You get a lot more space and it is a lot more one-on-one and at first-five you have to make the most of your time and pick the spaces you hit,” the 19-yearold said.

While Mid Canterbury boast more experienced goal-kickers in the form of Jason Kjestrup and Jarred Percival, HanhamCarter was the man thrown the tee for Rakaia throughout the season and made a good im-

pression. “Me and dad would usually be at training an hour before it started, so while he set up the drills and games, I would just be kicking and keeping going until they were going over,” he said.

Hanham-Carter said he would like to return to play his rugby in Mid Canterbury next year, but often, as it can be at this level, work and life can get in the way.

“I would like to, I have really enjoyed it and made lots of new mates. I had a course this year which made it easy to go down and train so we will have to wait and see,” he said.

He will be part of the Mid Canterbury squad for their first southern derby of the year against North Otago tomorrow, before being released from the squad for two weeks to join the Heartland U19 side for the tournament in mid-September.

Seems fair to conclude that No. 4-seeded Alexander Zverev found his 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (1), 7-6 (4) upset loss to Borna Coric in the US Open’s second round rather, well, upsetting.

“It’s upsetting. Today was upsetting,” Zverev said. “The way I played was upsetting. The tournament so far is upsetting for me.” The 20-year-old German is the highest-ranked man to exit Flushing Meadows so far and what bothered him so much was not merely that he didn’t play well but that there was a real opportunity for him to have a true Grand Slam breakthrough.

Green bid denied The Warriors have denied they are chasing Manly five-eighth Blake Green for next season as they prepare for life without Kieran Foran.

Green is contracted to the Sea Eagles until the end of next season but according to Australia’s Channel Nine, the 30-year-old veteran is eager to secure his future with a potential two or three year deal at the Warriors.

Manly are reportedly unwilling to extend Green’s contract and would need to grant him a release for him to take up a rival offer.
