District’s water gets health tick

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Drinking water supplies around the Ashburton District have received a string of gold stars in the latest ministry of Health water survey.

And for consumers, there is no better guarantee they can have than knowing that when they turn their kitchen tap on, the water that flows will be absolutely safe to drink, says Ashburton District Council assets manager Andrew Guthrie.

Since a gastro outbreak in Havelock North, believed to have been caused by contamination in the town’s water sup-

ply, there has been concern around New Zealand that other water supplies might not be secure.

In the Ashburton District, contamination fears were unfounded, Guthrie said.

When local authorities started reviewing their drinking water supplies in about 2005 to meet a set of higher standards, Ashburton was at the head of the pack, he said.

“We developed a strategy for all supplies back then and it was very forward thinking at the time; a lot of other councils were pretty reticent about doing this.”

The council had always given a high priority to upgrading water supplies and had never held back from investing money in this work, Guthrie said.

“We not only meet but try to exceed standards and our supplies are very tightly monitored; we take this seriously and go over and above the minimum standards.”

■ BOMB THREATS

School as normal locally

By Noah Graham aNd NZmE There were no interruptions for Ashburton schools yesterday despite some New Zealand schools being forced to evacuate after bomb threats.

At 12.20pm yesterday New Zealand police said, in a press release, they had received several calls “with a concerning nature”.

However, no Ashburton Schools received any of the threats and continued with everyday school life.

Schools in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Gisborne, Palmerston North, Masterton and Christchurch received calls.

Police said they would not be disclosing the names of each school that had received a call given the ongoing investigation and to prevent further such calls being made to other schools.

“The safety of students, teachers and schools are our priority.”

It is believed Michael Park School, Sherwood Primary School, St Mary’s School, Lytton High School, Point View School, Clendon Park School, Kingsway School, Papakura High School, Berkley Normal Middle School, Palmerston North Boys High School, Riverdale School, Masterton Primary School, Taita College, Pukekohe Intermediate School, King’s School, King’s College and Tahatai Coast School were affected.

On Papakura High School’s Facebook, the school said it re-

ceived a call at 11.15am saying there was a bomb threat.

“The police arrived and searched the school and informed us that it was safe for us all to return to classes.

“We were not the only school to receive this type of call today and the matter is being dealt with by the police.”

Papamoa’s Tahatai Coast School’s Facebook page warned parents of the threat and said the school had been evacuated to Grenada Reserve.

Emergency authorities responded, and it is understood some had been asked to help manage the crowds of parents who picked up their children.

The school instructed parents to collect only their child or children from specific staff.

A parent told the Bay of Plenty Times her son had been evacuated.

A reporter at the reserve said the area “was a madhouse” as parents arrived to pick up their children.

Parents were sent a text message to pick up their children.

Police believe that yesterday’s calls may be similar to those received earlier this year, which inquiries indicated originated overseas.

“We should make it clear that while such calls may display a New Zealand number, they can still be originating from overseas.”

Prevention manager Senior Sergeant Gordon Crawley said Wairarapa police “believe very much that it was just a hoax”.

■ SCHOOLS’ TRIATHLON

Triathlon tests students’ fitness

By Noah Graham

Noah.g@theguardiaN.co.Nz

More than 100 students swam, cycled and ran their way for more than 4km in the Canterbury Primary and Intermediate Triathlon, yesterday afternoon.

Hampstead School hosted more than 120 students from 13 Ash-

burton schools who swam two lengths of the Hampstead School pool, cycled 3km and finished it off with a 1km run.

Hampstead School principal Peter Melrose said it is great to host the event each year.

The kids enjoy themselves, even if they were a bit cold after the

swim, Melrose said.

He said the Year 5 to 8 students tired themselves out but were soon up and running around.

Although the weather could have been a bit warmer, it was perfect for the students to compete in, he said. The results of the triathlon will be released today.

■ RAKAIA SCHOOL

Rakaia’s new classroom ‘invaluable’

By Noah Graham

Noah.g@theguardiaN.co.Nz

Rakaia School is celebrating its new classroom which is now officially open.

The school held a welcoming and opening ceremony for the new classroom yesterday morning which more than accommodates for the school’s growing roll.

Rakaia School has a roll of 207 which have been using the Mahitahi (the new classroom) for the

past two terms and serves them well for day-to-day school work to full-school assemblies.

A kapa haka, powhiri and a speech from Rakaia School’s Kau Matua Te Wera, who came from Arowhenua Marae, took place.

Rakaia School deputy principal Anita Paul said the classroom was invaluable to the school.

The new classroom is used for multiple purposes and allows the school to hold full-school assem-

blies – which they could not do before.

She said it means the school can host events and not have to worry about space for friends and family.

During the opening the school came together to perform their kapa haka which was led by Te Hukia.

It was the first time they had performed the kapa haka as one school, Paul said.

Water gets health tick

■ ASHBURTON NEWCOMERS NETWORK

Keeping things strictly speaking French

From P1 Meeting requirements in areas such as bacterial and protozoal compliance did present challenges on some shallow supplies, such as Montalto, Methven, Mt Somers and Methven-Springfield, but the challenges were more in the rigorous procedure to prove compliance once systems were in place rather than actual compliance, he said.

Both Methven and Mt Somers have new equipment in place that is considered the final quality assurance and similar equipment will be installed on Montalto and Methven-Springfield supplies this year.

“We’re fortunate that successive councils have shown absolutely no reticence in funding this.”

While there had been issues with the Mayfield supply in recent weeks, this was around quantity rather than quality. If the village’s well runs dry, the council has secured a mobile treatment plant it can use to ensure water taken from other sources will meet New Zealand drinking water standards.

Ashburton’s Newcomers Network has set up a French-speaking group.

Among members are Ambroise Loauise and Vincent Kiamtia of Methven, originally from near Paris, attending a recent meeting at Reflections on East Street.

The group has about half a dozen members, from countries including Belgium, Mauritius and New Caledonia.

Newcomers co-ordinator Sophie-Claire Violette of Mauritius is a member and said she appreciated being able to brush up on her native tongue.

“When I speak to my mum on the phone she says ‘Sophie, your French is appalling’,” she said.

■ ASHBURTON MEDICAL CENTRES

Only one waiting list for patients

By Sue NewmaN aNd martiN JohNSoN NZme Ashburton could be one of only a few towns in New Zealand where its medical centres have their books open for new patients.

Health Ministry data shows that across the country there are only two areas where some practices do not have closed books. A shortage of GPs is being blamed along with rapidly increasing populations in some areas.

Of four practices spoken to in Ashburton, only Tinwald has a waiting list for potential patients.

And that waiting list is very short, said practice manager Christine Dodge.

“In the past it’s been longer and

we hope to absorb those patients into our practice in the next week or so,” she said.

Allenton’s books were open and it was the practice’s policy to take new patients who had moved into the Allenton area, practice manager Nicky Webb said.

“If they live in the area, then they’re welcome to enrol. We’ve never closed our books but if they live at the other side of town, we do encourage them to enrol in their nearest practice,” she said.

Moore Street accommodated people as they came through the door and did not close its books, manager Greg Baker said. Sealy Street also had an open enrolment book, manager Kay Kennedy said.

Across New Zealand, however, there are more than 150 medical clinics around New Zealand have closed their doors to new patients.

Just 4 per cent of Canterbury CDHB practices have closed books but in South Canterbury 63 per cent of medical centre books are closed.

People barred from joining their chosen clinic will generally face a trek across town to another general practice that is taking patients, but earlier this year all of Marlborough’s had closed their books.

Nationally, 182 of the 1014 general practices were refusing to take new patients, according to January data, the latest held by

the Health Ministry when it was released to the Labour Party last month under the Official Information Act. The worst-affected areas were Tauranga, South Canterbury, Manawatu-Horowhenua – and especially Marlborough, where none of the region’s primary health organisation’s eight clinics was taking new patients.

The ministry said, “In Marlborough ... three are currently open and five are closed – the five closed practices are currently enrolling individuals from their waiting lists.”

Labour health spokeswoman Annette King said primary care faced major threats and its funding needed to be reviewed.

PHOs had told her that around $200 million was “missing” from the Government’s spending on primary care because funding had not kept up with growing demand and costs.

NZ Doctor magazine reported a higher figure. It said primary care leaders believed the cumulative shortfall in patient-subsidy funding since 2007 was $250.3 million, plus a further $51.5 million shortfall in funding for PHOs. The College of General Practitioners says there is a shortage of GPs. The number of full-time equivalent GPs per capita shrank by 12 per cent from 1999 to 2012 - to 74 for every 100,000 people.

Australia had 112 per 100,000 people.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

In brief

Economic strategy slow going

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A new economic strategy for the Ashburton District might be some time in the making, but its development is a job that’s too important to rush says Ashburton District councillor and finance committee chairman, Neil Brown.

The council previously contracted its economic development work to Grow Mid Canterbury but this organisation is now out of business and it has employed an economic research company to help it develop a new strategy.

On Tuesday, councillors and

staff went back to basics and looked at what the council’s role in economic development should be and what the top five areas that needed action were.

Areas identified as key in a new strategy were employment, the need to maintain competitiveness and capture a share of regional growth, attracting and retaining people, and the vulnerability that came with an economy that was concentrated around the primary sector.

For the council it was critical to decide what its role should be - as an investor or an enabler, Brown said.

“Our role is to develop the

strategy for the district but that won’t necessarily mean we’ll be doing it. There might be projects identified as important, but that doesn’t mean the council would go ahead and do them, the work could be done by other groups or organisations.”

During Tuesday’s workshop councillors looked at the council’s current role in economic development. This ranged from low risk areas such as providing research and information through to high risk such as shareholdings and operating businesses such as the stock water reduction scheme, RDR shareholding and running the

EA Networks Centre.

About half of New Zealand’s local authorities have their own, district specific economic strategies.

The key objectives of most strategies include job creation (55 per cent), population growth (45 per cent), increasing labour skills (55 per cent), targeting investment and business attractions and increasing innovation (64 per cent) and active marketing and branding (64 per cent).

Consultation is under way with business leaders in the district and in the new year the strategy will go out for consultation.

Methven cafe customers returning the love

The trip between Ashburton and Christchurch will be a little longer on Sunday night as work is carried out on the southern approach to the Rakaia River bridge. Between 8pm Sunday and 6am Monday traffic will be reduced to one lane and will be controlled by signals as work is undertaken. The NZ Transport Agency is advising motorists to expect delays.

Missing woman found Missing Timaru woman Nicole Smith has been found safe on a rural road west of Timaru. Police said she was picked up by a member of the public at 5am yesterday on a rural road 20kms west of Timaru. She was taken to Timaru Police Station and is receiving support. Just before 7am, with the assistance of the Armed Offenders Squad, a 35-year-old Timaru man was arrested without incident for kidnapping and breach of a protection order.

Goat on rampage A goat on a rampage in Oamaru has been tasered by police. Animal control officers were alerted to a “large, rogue goat” that was reported disrupting traffic on State Highway 1 yesterday, Fairfax reported. The beast bolted, bounding over several fences, before the council workers lost sight of it. Police were then called to a property where the goat had been cornered in a garage by a small dog. Police, animal control officers and a vet were unable to calm the animal, so it had to be euthanised.

If customers at Methven’s Arabica Café received an extra smile yesterday, that’s because the business, its owners and staff were walking on cloud nine.

They’d just learned they’d received massive recognition in the café world – Christchurch regional winner in this year’s Café of the Year competition.

Owners Katrina and Ranga Wikjesinghe have owned the business for three years and for two out of the three they’ve been at the top of the list when it came to the awards.

Out of more than 700 entries they had to watch and wait over several weeks while customer votes were cast in the people’s choice section. They could monitor those results for several weeks but in the final days they had no idea where they ranked, Katrina said.

A phone call yesterday ended the waiting – they had been voted people’s choice winner for the Christchurch region.

“We’re just so excited,” she said.

And now it’s back to waiting.

Two mystery judges will arrive as customers and all the finalists know is that they’ll buy a hot drink and a main meal. Judging

Cardinal Dew was in Rome when news broke of the 7.8- magnitude earthquake. “Pope Francis spoke to me at the closing Mass for the Year of Mercy he said very sincerely that he was praying for New Zealand following the earthquake and expressed his concern for the welfare of people affected.”

■ BARRHILL CHERTSEY IRRIGATION SCHEME

Storage pond consent applied for

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation Scheme has applied for resource consent to build a storage pond near Methven.

General manager John Wright said it was for operational storage and important for the scheme to allow it to continue to develop.

The pond, if granted consent,

would be built on 40ha and have capacity for 1.6 million cubic metres.

“The pond will be filled out of the RDR (Rangitata Diversion Race) but then go directly into the BCI pipe network,” Wright said.

Environment Canterbury is currently processing the application.

The scheme has grown hugely

in the past year. It now uses 12 of the 17 cumecs it has consent to take from the Rakaia River – nine for BCI users and three for Acton scheme users.

Its 150 shareholders across the district have laid about 200km of pipe in the ground to convey the water.

Hydro-generation is also under way, giving effect to the Ashbur-

ton community water trust consent. Wright said BCI was working with the Mayfield Hinds Irrigation Scheme about development in their area.

BCI shareholders are also currently completing compulsory Farm Environment Plans, which are required to monitor nitrogen leaching.

The company has three full-

time staff working on the plans, which have cost shareholders collectively around $300,000.

Thousands of dollars are being spent by farmers across the district on compliance costs – farmers must have FEPs which cost around $1800 each and resource consent (application costs around $1700). Input from consultants can add $6000 to the cost.

Open day for new Mormon Chapel

Hot rods returning to Ashburton Domain Hot rods, vintage cars and Harley-Davidsons will make their return to the Ashburton Domain for another Hop Run on Sunday.

The cars will be on display in the barbecue area of the domain and people can enter from

the corner of Grigg and Elizabeth streets.

Organiser Barry Pinnell said there’s set to be over 90 cars coming to the December 4 event, up from last year’s 60, and it’s all in the name of charity.

Pinnell said all proceeds are going to the Cancer Society and last year they managed to raise just under $1000. There will also be food stalls available for $10 and people can contact Pinnell on 027 715 4749 to book.

Ashburton’s new Mormon Chapel will be open to the public tomorrow Saturday.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is holding an open house in the new chapel on Racecourse Road between 10am and 2pm and inviting members of the community to visit.

The church holds regular services for worship and this year built a new and much larger meeting space to cope with huge growth in congregation numbers in Ashburton over the past seven years.

The Racecourse Road facilities include a church, cultural centre and classroom block.

The church has a policy of dividing congregations when they get to a certain size, to avoid putting a heavy burden on its lay ministry.

So rather than erecting larger buildings, it builds more to accommodate growth.

The building was financed through the general church leadership in Salt Lake City, USA. The funds for chapels and temples come from tithing money from around the world.

About 35 support staff munched down on cake, biscuits and everything in-between at the Ashburton Netherby School Hall for the annual supporters’ morning tea, this week.

The school hosts the morning tea for the support staff in appreciation of the work they contribute towards the school.

Ashburton Netherby School principal Phil Wheeler thanked everyone from board of trustee members and special education psychologists, to volunteers and relief teachers.

Wheeler said it was a nice opportunity to get together and show how much the staff members are valued.

“It is a good chance to catch up,” Wheeler said.

Although the support teachers were seen most days, it was nice to hold a morning tea for them, he said.

Wheeler finished the morning tea with a speech to all the attendees, recognising their efforts to keep the school running.

He said everyone was important, from the people who teach to those who clean the school, all contribute to a functioning environment.

■ CASHFLOW CONFUSION

Faster bank actions prompt warning ments using available funds to avoid unexpected fees and interest.”

But not all banks are the same.

Kiwibank is still processing direct debits at the end of the day.

A spokesman for Kiwibank said it had changed the frequency of its automatic payments a few months ago.

Its automatic payments go out at 10am and if there is insufficient funds the bank will try again at 10pm and at 10am and 10pm on the following day.

Only after four failed attempts did it charge a customer a fee, he said.

Jamie Wood, manager clearing systems at Payments New Zealand, which sets the rules for payments across the industry, said the number of attempts and the time of day a bank started doing transfers would differ between each bank so it paid for customers to check with their bank what time they will start attempting transfers.

Anti-fluoride blast A first-time councillor has been criticised for lobbying her elected colleagues and the district health board over her anti-fluoride views.

Siggi Henry claims health experts and “smarty pants” scientists have brainwashed the public with misinformation over fluoride, according to a letter she penned just weeks after taking office at Hamilton City Council.

In the letter she urged Waikato District Health Board and the council to take up the cause.

It comes after Henry played down her extreme anti-fluoride views during her campaign to become a councillor.

In another email Henry said she did not believe fluoride statistics promoted by Health Minister Jonathan Coleman and Associate Health Minister

Peter Dunne. “Sadly I have seen this kind of ‘BS’ for far too many years,” she wrote to Hamilton councillors.

“I am not talking about Fluoride but Hydrofluosilicic Acid.

Tooth decay is not a result of lack of fluoride but a result of too much sugar. And the DHBs should start addressing that issue.

But the “extraordinary outburst” is another example of why decisions over water fluoridation should be made by district health boards and not local councils, Water New Zealand says.

Chief executive John Pfahlert said most councillors were not qualified to make decisions on fluoride in water because it was a scientific health issue, not an ideological one.

Bank customers are being urged to set up electronic payments for the day after they get paid in the wake of moves by banks to speed up processing times.

Previously banks have processed bill payments, automatic payments and money transfers called direct credits to other banks through an overnight clearing system.

But from Monday a new clearing system came into force bringing all banks into line with an hourly clearing system and a much faster settlement process.

The move is good news for those waiting to receive money as it could mean they have access to payments like their salary or wages or other fund transfers within hours rather than having to wait until that night or the next day.

The change does not affect cheque payments with most banks taking between one and three business days to clear cheques.

Although it wasn’t the first time a former All Black had turned out in the Heartland Championship, Guildford would not have expected to be playing in New Zealand Rugby’s third tier as a 27-year-old.

Before Bush’s clash with Mid Canterbury in September, I interviewed Guildford and queried his latest move. His answers were genuine and sincere.

“It’s about getting life back on track and enjoying playing rugby – it’s working for me,” he said.

“For me it was about being in a good environment and being around good people, family and friends.”

It was about starting again and earning another chance to play at the highest level.

Guildford is now training with Waikato Sevens and will play club rugby for Hamilton Old Boys in 2017.

Almost everyone has an opinion on Guildford and most, unfortunately, are negative.

For some it stems from the frustration that a mountain of talent has potentially gone to waste. For others his drunken exploits and unsavoury behaviour represent all that is wrong with the culture of our national game.

But one thing that must be commended is Guildford’s willingness to right his wrongs, while ridding himself of demons that have sunk others with far less pressure on what are still young shoulders.

Guildford’s latest bid to revive a once-promising career may be driven by time. A realisation that, at 27, he doesn’t have as much of it left in the cut-throat world of elite sport. It could be driven by an innate urge to compete again at the level in which his vast skill set belongs. Or, it may be for a love of the game.

Turning out for Wairarapa Bush in Westport, Oamaru and Ruatoria is a world away from donning the black jersey in front of 60,000 at Eden Park, but Guildford embraced it.

And for that, maybe it’s time for support, not condemnation.

YOUR VIEW Toot for Tucker On behalf of the Lions club of Ashburton County, we wish to acknowledge the wonderful support given to the 2016 Toot for Tucker food collection.

Once again, countless numbers of residents in the Ashburton township, Lake Hood settlement, Hinds, Fairton and Chertsey areas have given, so that others might enjoy a happier festive season.

To the volunteers who gave of their time to drive, collect, sort and deliver goods, thank you.

People from so many different organisations came to help, including young people from clubs and individuals who simply wished to lend a hand. The spirit of giving and caring is well and truly alive in this district.

A huge vote of thanks must go to Property Brokers who again sponsored bags for collection of items, erected signage around Ashburton township and advertised the event in their Real Es-

Your

tate flyer for several weeks prior.

To our newspaper and radio teams we extend grateful thanks.

You all supported us in our bid to make this event a successful one.

Thank you everyone.

Moyra Whiting and Janet Kingsbury ***** What a generous community we live in.

Presbyterian Support Ashburton was delighted to be a new recipient of the County Lions Club annual Toot for Tucker project.

I did think the collection may be down this year after the Kaikoura earthquakes, but Ashburton people have proven to be very selfless and donated an excellent range of grocery items to Salvation Army, St Vincent de Paul and ourselves.

The County Lions and all those others involved with this project are to be congratulated on a project so well run and supported.

The public can rest assured

of these families I would like to again thank everyone involved and wish you all a Merry Christmas.

that their generosity is really appreciated and will help folks who are struggling at this time of the year and into 2017 too.

Hospital care

On behalf of the Society of St Vincent de Paul I would like to thank all those involved in Monday’s Toot for Tucker food appeal.

My thanks go to the Ashburton County Lions Club for organising the appeal and sorting out the food afterwards, all the different service groups, businesses and children’s groups and individuals who were involved in collecting the food and last but not least all those who donated foodstuffs.

The food collected goes out to those families in our community who are struggling and are in need of a hand up during this season of Christmas and the following months and on behalf

We wish to pass on our grateful thanks both to the St John Ambulance workers and the staff at the Ashburton Public Hospital, from the doctors, nurses, kitchen staff, orderlies and all others that cared for both of us over the past few months.

You hear people complain, but we both were very grateful for everything that was done for us while we were in hospital.

Sometimes the young doctors looked tired, but always had a smile on their faces and the nurses always so caring towards us.

Thanks to all.

You can’t help but smile when you see him on his favourite corner by McDonald’s doing his version of the Ashburton shuffle and helping traffic navigate the intersection.

Yes I’m talking about Goldberg.

He’s a character and this week confirmed he is a loved character.

His boss at Subway Tony messaged me to say he had been in hospital in Christchurch and had an operation to remove his teeth.

One of his chompers had become infected and this infection travelled to his ticker and he is having another op this coming Monday to replace a bad valve.

Tony asked if I could do a shout out for him.

He didn’t want money, just some get well soon cards and maybe a few visitors.

So my “Sickberg” post went up on Facebook and these Facebook stats illustrate how popular he is.

The post telling people he was in hospital attracted over 1300 likes, 473 get well soon comments, 360 shares and reached 64,478 people.

He is now the most popular patient in the hospital and on Tuesday this week, he got 40 cards. The nurses looking after him can’t believe how popular he is.

But that was only the start!

Pete Gowans messaged me and said he had popped in to visit Goldberg and he was down in the dumps, nervous about his operation and bored.

He only had a cellphone that could text, so Pete asked for another shout out, this time for a smart phone so he could at least keep an eye on Facebook.

That way he could at least see the good wishes being sent to him on social media.

So I put the plea for pledges out there and in they flooded.

Including one from the Harvey Norman team, saying they would match whatever we raised and sort us out with the phone.

After a chat with head office they upped that offer to donating us a $1000 Samsung phone outright.

The pledges kept rolling in and in less than 48 hours we had raised over $1000.

With the pledged money we have bought Goldberg a dropproof case for his new phone and

also $200 worth of credit.

The remaining money will be kept aside for Goldberg, once he is settled back in town.

Perhaps it could be spent on some appliances for his home, but I would also like to set up some credit with a local food place like Boston Burger so he can have a hot meal every day.

Goldberg is much happier. He loves his new phone and was skiting to me about it yesterday when I called him. He has a new Facebook page and I’m sure he would love a friend request from you if you know him.

Here’s hoping all goes well with the op on Monday (FYI no visitors for 24 hours after the operation) and I’m sure he’ll be back doing the Goldberg Boogie on Maccas corner in no time.

Queen of petrolheads

BY PAUL CHARMAN It’s not her foremost claim to fame, but a life-long passion for autos is surely among Queen Elizabeth II’s most endearing qualities.

This has not been lost on motoring enthusiasts, who are just one sub-set of the subjects who avidly follow the life and times of the world’s longestserving and likely most popular monarch.

With three shows on New Zealand television and Netflix depicting Elizabeth, her family, or ancestors (The Crown, The Windsors and Victoria), this queen’s popularity seems strong as ever.

Even aged 90, she transcends the hardcore royalist fan base, touching additional sub-groups in society.

And I’d argue these groups include petrolheads – just look at Elizabeth’s motoring credentials and tell me if I’m wrong.

As a teen during World War Two she trained as a truck driver and mechanic and even rode motorcycles.

She went on to enjoy a lifelong passion for cars, not only being driven around in limousines, but driving and collecting her own vast fleet of autos – including many 4X4s.

Elizabeth has stuck almost exclusively to British motors, even during the many long years when they barely deserved royal patronage; lastly, determination to keep taking the wheel apparently persists – because as far as we know Elizabeth II still drives.

This last point makes Elizabeth an inspiration to the half million-plus Kiwis aged 65 years and over who still hold a licence – in particular the nearly 8000 members of this group who, like Elizabeth, were born ahead of World War Two (more on this later).

Despite not being required to hold a drivers licence because of her royal status, the Queen learned to drive during World War Two, when she operated a first aid truck in the Women’s Auxiliary Territorial Service.

A substantial pictorial and video record of this point in

A fate worse than ...

Queen Elizabeth always looks suitably royal (above) on official occasions, while during World War Two she was operating a first aid truck in the Women’s Auxiliary Territorial Service.

Elizabeth’s career includes brief news reel footage.

Alongside the photos – no doubt taken for propaganda purposes – of Liz adjusting carburettors, changing spark plugs and truck tyres, I find the shots of her riding a military issue BSA 250cc motorcycle around a slalom course particularly interesting.

This was the era when mechanics were trained to service everything on wheels, so no doubt Elizabeth serviced the occasional bike, as well as cars and trucks.

Meawhile, the collection of ultra-rare cars at Sandringham, which Liz has amassed during a lifetime of driving, may be worth millions.

It includes the very first royal car, a Daimler Phaeton from 1900.

There are apparently numerous vintage Rolls-Royces, Jaguars and Bentleys, many of them gifted to the Queen.

Her favourite vehicle is said

to be the Land Rover Defender, a vehicle she drives on various country estates.

She has possibly owned more than 30 of these, plus more than just a few Range Rovers.

Over the years the list has also included Aston Martin, Vauxhall, Wolseley, Morris, Windsor, Lea Francis, Austin, Humber and many other British makes.

Of course, owning cars is one thing but driving them safely is quite another matter.

And in this respect, like many older drivers, Liz has had to overcome her share of ageism.

For example, in July last year it was reported that during her weekly drive to church the Queen was blocked by a family enjoying a stroll, fanned out across the road and walking with their backs to the traffic in Windsor Great Park.

Elizabeth smiled and waved as she drove her Jaguar X Type

car onto the grass to steer around the family; a trivial incident perhaps, but one that was quickly reported around the world.

For many older New Zealanders a driver’s licence is still an important factor in their independence and many senior drivers are able to continue driving safely well into their 90s and beyond, says Harry Wilson the NZ Transport Agency’s Road Safety Director.

“As a group, older drivers in New Zealand are relatively safe, they tend to drive conservatively, travel fewer kilometres and do not deliberately drive unsafely.

“While senior drivers don’t have as many crashes, if they are involved in a crash however, they and any older passengers are at more risk of being seriously injured or killed because of their greater physical vulnerability than younger people.”

She was jumping into his arms, and he bent her back over his knee like they were dancing.”

Kanye West has been left so traumatised by his wife Kim Kardashian’s brutal robbery that he fears his life is now in danger, his stepbrother has claimed. For the first time, Hal Carmichael – whose mother Cheryl was married to Kanye’s father Ray – has broken the family’s silence over Kanye’s hospitalisation. Speaking to The Sun, Hal says: “No one thought Paris would happen in a million years and now he’s seen it happen to Kim, it’s traumatising. Yes he’s tired, he’s hurt, he’s probably depressed. It’s like who can he trust? You can’t trust anyone, even the people you’ve been paying to protect you. I think Kanye got to a point when he was fearing for his life because of what went down in Paris – I think it took a toll on him”.

Trump ‘out of business’

By Drew Harwell President-elect Donald J. Trump tweeted that he would soon leave his “great business in total” to focus on the presidency, a response to growing worries over the businessman-in-chief’s conflicts of interest around the globe.

The announcement appears to echo Trump’s long insistence that he would cede the company’s management to his children, a way of putting distance between private interests and public power.

But it remained unclear whether the new arrangement would include a full sale of Trump’s stake in the company.

Ethics advisers said a management hand-off to his children would not resolve worries that the business could still influence his decisions in the Oval Office.

“I will be holding a major news conference in New York City with my children on December 15 to discuss the fact that I will be leaving my great business in total in order to fully focus on running the country in order to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump tweeted.

Donald Trump “While I am not mandated to do this under the law, I feel it is visually important, as President, to in no way have a conflict of interest with my various businesses. Hence, legal documents are being crafted which take me completely out of business operations. The Presidency is a far more important task!”

Following Trump’s announcement, the official Twitter account of the Office of Government Eth-

ics, the traditionally staid federal agency that often works closely with presidential transition teams, celebrated yesterday that Trump had committed to fully divesting his company stake, though Trump has publicly said no such thing.

Among the nine tweets in the OGE’s rapid-fire delivery: “@realDonaldTrump Bravo! Only way to resolve these conflicts of interest is to divest . Good call!”

OGE lawyers have been influential in past presidents’ decisionmaking, but their advice has almost always been kept confidential.

Brett Kappel, a Washington campaign-finance lawyer who has worked with OGE, said the agency “never tweets about an individual federal official’s ethics issues unless they are announcing the conclusion of an enforcement action.”

Presidents are not bound by the strict conflict-of-interest laws governing most US elected officials, but most modern presidents have agreed to sell or sequester their assets in a blind trust.

Those trusts are led by an independent manager with supreme control, in order to keep past business deals, investments and relationships from influencing their White House term.

Giving company management to his adult children – Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka – would still leave open the potential for Trump to make presidential decisions for their benefit.

The children have already played a key part in Trump’s governing preparations, serving on the transition team now selecting key appointees and sitting in on meetings with foreign heads of state.

Richard Painter, chief White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush, said the move did not appear to offer enough of a division to keep entanglement worries at bay.

“That’s business operations, not ownership.

“The problem is, we need to resolve the conflicts of interest that arise from his ownership. And we’re hearing nothing about how that’s getting resolved,” Painter said.

Judge’s conduct ‘manifestly destructive’ An inquiry committee of the Canadian Judicial Council says a judge who asked a sexual assault complainant why she couldn’t just keep her knees together should lose his job.

During a trial in 2014, Justice Robin Camp accused the woman of not doing enough to defend herself during the alleged attack and suggested that she wanted to have sex. The then-19-year-old woman had accused a Calgary man of raping her over a bathroom sink during a house party.

At times, Camp falsely referred to the woman as “the accused,” according to media reports.

“Why couldn’t you just keep your knees together?” he told the woman. “Why didn’t you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he couldn’t penetrate you?”

Camp also said that young women “want to have sex, particularly if they’re drunk,” and that “some sex and pain sometimes go together.”

The committee said yesterday Camp’s conduct was “so manifestly and profoundly destructive of the concept of the impartiality” that he should lose his job.

It’s now up to the Canadian Judicial Council to decide whether the recommendation should be

taken to the federal justice minister, who has final say on Camp’s fate.

Camp previously apologised for what he called his rude and insulting attitude.

“I’m very sorry that, on reflection and rereading what I said, that I intimidated her using facetious words,” Camp told the committee in his testimony.

The 64-year-old judge said his words came from a “deep-rooted” bias “that all women behave the same way and should resist,” CBC News reported.

Camp acquitted Alexander Wager in the trial.

Hunt on for gold thief Police are hunting for a thief who swiped a bucket full of gold flakes worth $1.6 million off the back of a truck in the middle of Manhattan. The NYPD has released CCTV footage of the unidentified man, who snatched the 39kg pail from the vehicle at the end of September. It is believed that the guard briefly stopped watching over the truck and went into the truck’s cab to retrieve his cellphone when the robbery took place, the Daily Mail reports. It happened in broad daylight on West 48th Street in New York City’s busy Midtown area.

■ LENDING RULES

Mortgage brokers oppose DTI limits Mortgage brokers have joined the call for the government to decline the Reserve Bank’s request to introduce debt-to-income limits for mortgage lending.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand wants to be allowed to use a debt-to-income limit because it is concerned about the rising amount of lending being done by banks at five and six times a buyer’s income.

The government has yet to agree to add such a tool to the bank’s toolkit and is still discussing the proposal.

A group representing over 70 mortgage brokers, the Mortgage Supply Company, yesterday sent a letter to Finance Minister Bill English opposing the move.

“Overall, it is more difficult to get a mortgage right now, than at any time in the last 10 years – except for during the GFC [Global Financial Crisis]. The LVR [loanto-value] levers are working to cool the market, and simply need more time to bed in,” the letter said.

“As an industry, we think the

“The number of new homes being built – the very thing that Auckland needs most – would plunge as the number of people earning enough to buy them would dwindle to a trickle.

“So the policy could very well kill off the one thing that can fix the Auckland housing crisis – the construction of new homes”.

A similar policy was introduced to the United Kingdom in July 2014 limiting buyers to a mortgage which does not exceed 4.5 times their annual earnings.

Church said if that rule was applied here it could limit a typical Auckland family to a mortgage of less than $400,000.

The Reserve Bank is worried that continued growth in high debt to income lending would threaten the resilience of New Zealand’s banks if there is a down-turn.

In its financial stability report released yesterday the central bank said despite a slow-down in Auckland property price growth in the last six months vulnerabilities in the housing market had increased. - NZME

e are now into the final month of 2016, making it a good time to reflect on how markets are doing so far as well as look forwards at what events markets have to look forward to before the year is over.

The NZX50 locked in its third consecutive month of declines in November, slipping back 0.92 per cent.

The index has bounced from the lows seen during the month when we entered correction territory, however are still well below the all-time-high seen in September. For the year to date, the local bourse is still more than 9 per cent higher, and should we hold on to this gain, will mark the sixth consecutive year of gains.

In December, there appears to be little on the local calendar that is likely to move markets.

Since 2009, the NZX50 has had only one December that has not closed higher and as the index has rebounded lately, this trend could very well continue.

The ASX200 gained 2.31 per cent in November, reversing the fall it saw in October. For the year to date the Aussie market is up 3.28 per cent. As is the case for the NZ market there are few economic events that are likely to drive markets. The Reserve Bank of Australia is due to meet next week, however, it is very unlikely that there will be any change, with the market pricing in only a 2 per cent chance of a cut.

November has been an amazing month for US markets, with the S&P500 and Dow Jones both crossing psychological thresholds and reaching fresh highs. The S&P500 gained 3.42 per cent for

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

the month while the Dow Jones gained a whopping 5.41 per cent.

US stocks have received a boost from what has been dubbed the Trump Bump, as investors expect President-elect Donald Trump to implement his economically supportive stimulus which includes corporate tax cuts and infrastructure spending.

Still on the calendar for the US is the November jobs report (due out early Saturday morning NZ time). Expectations are for 180,000 jobs to have been created in the month, up from the 161,000 created in October.

Ordinarily we would be looking at the jobs result to influence the Federal Reserve’s decision making process, however, this is not the case this month.

The market is pricing in a 100 per cent chance of a rate hike at the December meeting, taking rates to 0.75 per cent. Wage growth will be the key takeaway for markets from the Jobs report, with the last couple beginning to show signs of wage growth, indicating a tightening labour market and showing signs of inflation.

Markets this week were being pushed around by the OPEC meeting that was held on Wednesday in Vienna. The main focus for the meeting was whether or not the cartel would be able to come to an agreement

on output caps for oil production. Global markets saw a drop in volumes as investors chose to sit on the side lines not wanting to make any big bets ahead of the outcome.

It was announced following the meeting that the OPEC nations had come to an agreement and decided to cut production by 1.2 million barrels a day. Oil prices received a massive boost following this with Brent Crude prices jumping above $50 a barrel for the first time in almost a month.

The biggest event of the month was undoubtedly the US election, which saw a surprise win

by Republican candidate Donald Trump.

However, there is still another political event to come this year that is causing plenty of volatility.

This weekend is the Italian Constitutional referendum when the nation will vote whether or not to make sweeping changes to the law making process. There has been plenty of attention given to this as a No vote has the potential to cause a massive political upheaval.

Current Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has said that he will step down should a No vote occur. In addition to this, the opposition party is opposed to being in the Eurozone and has promised a referendum on this should they get into power.

■ HOLDEN ASTRA

Astra set for launch in NZ

T

he European Car of the Year, the all-new Holden Astra, will be launched in New Zealand early in the

New Year.

The stunning new model will introduce European inspired style and sophistication together with premium interior appointments, alongside performance which complements its dynamic aesthetics.

“We anticipate the European Car of the Year 2016 to make a real statement when it launches locally in February,” said the Managing Director of Holden New Zealand, Kristian Aquilina.

“This new model illustrates Holden’s commitment to Kiwi motorists to source the very best products from the General Motors new model portfolio and introduce them into our market.

“We have high expectations Astra will set the standard in the small car segment as it offers dynamic appeal together with undeniable European flair.”

To become European Car of the Year, the Astra beat finalists including BMW 7 Series,

Audi A4, Volvo XC90, Jaguar XE, Mazda MX-5 and Skoda Superb.

“The fact the new Astra was judged overall COTY winner, especially when taking the opposition into account, speaks volumes for the new model and it demonstrates it has the pedigree to compete against the very best the world has to offer,” said Mr Aquilina.

The vehicle’s strong technology package, engaging performance as well as expressive European styling both inside and

out contributed to the result.

Superior Ride and handling, working in unison with powerful and efficient turbocharged engines, helps deliver a driving experience which holds particular appeal for motoring enthusiasts.

“The all-new Astra is unashamedly a premium sports hatch with a focus on style, technology, quality and performance,” said Mr Aquilina.

“Added to this is a real focus on class leading Infotainment,

including Apple CarPlay/Android Auto standard across the range, as well as availability of Advanced Active Safety featuring Lane Keep Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Alert.”

An all-new lightweight architecture and choice of two new turbo powertrains furthered the overall appeal of the new model.

The five-door hatch will debut with a range of three new trim levels, consisting of an entry R specification, a more powerful

TIMARU Was $18,500

Was $39,990

NOW $38,450

NOW $16,250

and tech-laden RS and a range topping RS-V. There will be two powerful and efficient engines available for new Astra, a 1.4L Ecotec Turbo on the entry model Astra R coupled with a choice of six-speed Manual or Auto transmissions (110kW / 240Nm on auto, 245Nm with manual), or a more powerful 1.6L Ecotec Turbo available on Astra RS and Astra RS-V, delivering 147kW / 300Nm. Pricing for the New Zealand Astra range will be released before the end of November with the new model arriving in Holden dealerships around the country from mid-February.

The five-door hatch will be sold alongside the Holden Astra VXR coupe.

“We’re incredibly excited to have the all-new Astra scheduled to arrive in New Zealand early in 2017, it will be a late Christmas present of sorts,” said Mr Aquilina.

“We couldn’t ask for a better way to get the New Year off to a great start and can’t wait to introduce Kiwi motorists to this incredible new model.”

■ MANNY’S WHEELS

The bread man’s van

O

ur Daily Bread.

This is a story about a van which many people remember.

The van itself is a reminder of earlier times and so is the way it was used.

It’s also a story about two people with wise heads, one on older shoulders than the other.

On 10 March 1965 Arthur Sim the then proprietor of Sim’s Bakery out laid seven hundred and sixty two pounds, five shillings and eight pence for a new Bedford CA van.

The base price was a little less than but Arthur opted for wheel balancing and the installation of seat belts, which were charged separately and increased the final amount paid.

An earlier model Bedford C A van was traded in.

Hop along to the domain

T

he Ashburton Hop will be staged in the Ashburton Domain (entrance off Grigg Street) on Sunday December 4 between 10am and 3pm and feature car displays and stalls.

Entry is by gold coin and all proceeds will go to the Cancer Society.

Bernard Egan MOTORING

The van, along with a Morris Oxford van which Arthur also owned, was used for door to door household delivery of bread and slabs of cake. (I remember it very well, big brother

bought a lot of seriously yummy gingerbread men – Ed). The food was laid out on shelves and Arthur had a unique way of extracting loafs and cakes which were beyond reach.

With the arrival of the giant supermarkets the demand for home deliveries eventually ended, but the van continued to be used for trade deliveries.

After many years of very faithful service the Bedford finally went into a wellearned retirement and was parked up.

On November 1, 1985, co-incidentally 60 years to the day after his grandfather Thomas Sim opened a bakery in Methven, which later operated in Hinds.

Manny Sim bought the business, by then located in Tinwald, and along with it the Bedford van.

Over the years Manny wondered what he should do with the van, and one day the crunch came when a friend offered to buy it.

Manny, the one with the wise head on older shoulders, contemplated what to do.

His grandson, Cory Ross, at the time a teenager and the one with the wise head on younger shoulders, helped him decide.

Cory said “don’t sell it Grandad we’ll do it up”.

And so began a nine-year project which has resulted in the van being restored to its former glory.

Fortunately the van was pretty much intact and the running gear was in good order.

Today it looks just as it did when Arthur, family members and staff used it for deliveries.

Manny and his sister Judy, who have both spent all their working

lives at the bakery, have very fond memories of learning to drive and then doing the rounds in the van.

The van has a 1600cc Vauxhall engine and a three speed column change gearbox.

Manny says “it’s not a speed machine!”

The van has covered 100 miles since it has been back on the road.

Manny enjoys driving it and likes the fact that it’s already attracted attention, and is especially pleased that it brings back pleasant memories for many people.

Memories of the van arriving at the gate with freshly baked bread.

Of course sometimes the bread didn’t make it intact to the door.

There was always a temptation to pick out the middle and Manny jokes the size of the loaf which made into customers’ kitchens sometimes depended how far it was from the front gate to the back door and how much time there was for taste testing.

The restoration of the van has created a slight dilemma for Manny, who is of course renowned within the hot-rod fraternity and in competitive motor sport as a “Ford Man”.

So he has had to face a bit of friendly banter about restoring a General Motors vehicle. Manny has an answer he says “well actually it’s a Bed – Ford”.

Between them the two chaps with the wise heads on their shoulders made great decisions.

Keeping the van was a good thing to do and of course restoring it is a splendid outcome.

The Sims’ fabulous Bedford CA van will now not only provide enjoyment and bring back memories for Manny and his family, it will also be a fascinating reminder of days gone by.

A fascinating distraction Going to take photos of Manny Sim’s van was always going to be fun, but as it turned out it another photo opportunity presented itself.

Both Manny Sim and our reporter were fascinated to see an unusual Ford Fairlane ute parked nearby. Owned by Sid Miller from Timaru the ute (below) is an interesting vehicle which is obviously Sid’s pride and joy. Understandably!

Ironically the Sid’s Ford, like Manny’s van, is a 1965 model.

Bentayga scoops awards pool

O

ne year on from the very first production model leaving the assembly line at Bentley’s iconic UK headquarters in Crewe, England, the Bentayga has received international praise and recognition.

So far 12 awards have been won, stretching from the company’s home market to the Middle East, China and the USA. The Bentayga was specifically designed to be the world’s fastest and most luxurious SUV and has been recognised for its high level of luxury, elegant, timeless design execution, off-road performance

and cutting-edge advanced technology.

The Bentayga received plaudits across three continents in 2016, with the car’s design, performance and level of luxury applauded.

In the UK, Autocar magazine presented the Bentayga with the ‘Game Changer’ award, marking the SUV as unique in the automotive world.

Robb Report UK named Bentayga ‘SUV of the year’, with judges concluding it is a ‘truly ground-breaking SUV’.

The world’s most luxurious SUV was well received in Bentley’s biggest market, the US. Robb Report

US named Bentayga the ‘Best of the Best’ in their prestigious annual awards and men’s magazine Gear Patrol named Bentayga a 2016 GP100 Winner, describing the car as ‘the new SUV benchmark’.

This success continued in China, with Car and Driver awarding the car the Jury’s Special Award. The Global Times also praised Bentley’s first SUV, naming it the Annual Best Brand Product in March.

‘Best Sports Utility Vehicle’ and ‘Best Luxury SUV’ accolades from awarding bodies in Singapore and the Middle East respectively complete the global suite of awards.

Practical virtues, exquisite design

T

hree months ahead of its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen is providing a first look at the fascinating contours of its new premium saloon, the Arteon.

The totally new model sits above the Passat and emphasises emotion in the upper mid-class.

In addition to a new and emotive outline Volkswagen is also introducing with the Arteon a highly expressive, horizontally accentuated brand look.

The bars of the radiator grille extend into the three-dimensional headlights, while LED lighting elements additionally emphasise the striking layout and demonstrate dominance.

The four-door saloon impresses both through revolutionary design and great practicality.

While the doors’ frameless windows

reflect the typical stylistic elements of a grand tourer, the top-hinged and wideopening tailgate provides optimum access to the huge boot.

Tobias Sühlmann, Exterior Designer, explains: “At first sight, the Arteon arouses enthusiasm through its expressive design.

“It then surprises through all of its

more practical virtues.

“This combination is unique.”

The name Arteon – with the emphasis put on the first syllable – is made up of two component parts: ‘Art’ describes the saloon’s harmonious lines and emotionality.

The ending ‘eon’ identifies it, in the same way as Volkswagen’s top model for

the Chinese market, the PHIDEON, as a premium model.

The new Arteon is being publicly unveiled for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show; its launch will then follow in summer 2017.

nternational auctioneers Coys are putting under the hammer a Ferrari owned by British boxing legend Sir Henry Cooper OBE along with over 40 classic and sports cars at their yearly True Greats auction on December 5 at the Royal Horticultural Society in London.

The 1973 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 was owned in the early 1980s by Henry Cooper, famous for the power of his left hook, “Enry’s ‘Ammer“, and his knockdown of a young

Muhammad Ali on 18th June 1963.

Coys took the car to the Fellowship Inn on the Bellingham estate in South London, where local boy Cooper lived and trained before the fight with Ali, and caught the attention of locals who turned out to see it, take pictures and share stories about the boxer.

Enry later became friends with The Greatest, who admitted he was hit so hard that fight that “his ancestors in Africa felt it.”

Benchmark for executives

T

he Mercedes-Benz E 220 d AMG Line Saloon has been announced as ‘Executive Car of the Year’ in the 2016 Professional Driver Car of the Year Awards.

The E-Class, which was launched in the UK earlier this year, was praised

for its combination of advanced safety technology and its ‘roomy’ and ‘comfortable’ interior.

Mark Bursa, editor of Professional Driver Magazine, said: “The new E 220 d is a formidable vehicle, taking on a lot of safety technology and interior finish from the S-Class. It’s roomy and

comfortable, and it is still the benchmark executive car for chauffeurs.”

Professional Driver magazine is the UK’s monthly publication aimed at the private hire and chauffeur industry.

The Professional Driver Car of the Year is chosen from the seven category winners, and the awards are

announced at the Professional Driver Awards dinner in November.

The E-Class saloon was launched in early 2016 and is one of the most technologically advanced cars in its segment. The E 220 d features a new 2.1-litre diesel engine, which further boosts efficiency and refinement.

The Accent has everything you want from a compact hatch - great manoeuvrability around town, surprising levels of comfort and space plus an efficient 1.6 fuel injection petrol engine to give you power when you need it. Find out for yourself with a test drive - because with a price this small, the Accent will be in big demand.

Ashburton Guardian 25

In brief Santner signs T20 deal New Zealand all-rounder Mitchell Santner will again link up with Worcestershire next summer as their main overseas player for the T20 Blast campaign. Santner, a left-arm spin bowling allrounder who is a regular in all three formats for the Black Caps, will link up with Worcestershire following the conclusion of the ICC Champions Trophy, which is being held in England in June next year. The 24-year-old’s stay at New Road was cut short earlier this year when he broke a finger while fielding on his debut against Durham in the Blast.

Smith changes tack Australian captain Steve Smith has done a U-turn and is now endorsing the prospect of an historic day-night Ashes Test against England. Smith has long been opposed to the idea, preferring to preserve 134 years of tradition between test cricket’s longest-running rivals. But he’s changed his tune and is happy to move with the times after leading Australia to victory over South Africa last week, making it two from two in pink-ball Tests at Adelaide Oval.

Allenton on a hat-trick

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The Pritchard Shield senior cricket competition will return for round five tomorrow as Allenton play host to Methven, Coldstream entertain Tech and Lauriston have the bye.

All teams will be missing some key personnel with players on representative duty as Mid Canterbury welcome South Canter-

bury for their opening Hawke Cup clash at the domain oval.

T20 winners Allenton will be out to make it three wins from three outings when they do battle with Methven.

Allenton took a convincing 128-run victory over Lauriston last weekend after picking up a 76-run victory over defending champions Tech in week one.

Allenton had a two week layoff

between their first and second 45-over matches of the season after a washout in round two followed by a bye in week three.

Methven have had a less consistent campaign so far.

A frustrating 15-run loss to Lauriston in their opening tie was followed by a five-wicket defeat to Tech.

They will, however, take confidence in their four wicket victory

over Coldstream last Saturday.

Meanwhile, Coldstream will lock horns with Tech Stags in the round’s opposite fixture with both sides out to get their respective campaigns on track.

Tech and Coldstream have recorded a win and loss each so far.

Pritchard Shield round five: Allenton v Methven, 12.30pm.

Coldstream v Tech, 12.30pm.

Black Caps change focus from tests to ODIs The Black Caps will have two short days to recalibrate their batting before they take on Australia in the three-match Chappell-Hadlee ODI series beginning on Sunday in Sydney.

Batting coach Craig McMillan says that’s all they need, despite the quick turnaround from New Zealand’s 2-0 test series win against Pakistan.

“It’s one of the greatest challenges for the modern-day cricket player, changing from test cricket to one-day to T20 cricket, just backwards and forwards,” McMillan said.

“More so than anything, it’s probably a mental shift.”

New Zealand backed up their first test eight-wicket victory with a 138-run win in the second Test which ended in Hamilton on Tuesday.

McMillan says the Black Caps’

first net session in Australia will be crucial.

“It’s about hitting the ball hard, finding some freedom and perhaps playing a few extra shots that you normally put away for test cricket,” he said before the team left for Australia on Wednesday.

“That’s that balance and fine line you’re looking for, and we need to find that over the two days training before we head into Sunday’s match.

“It’s about players finding that freedom you need in one-day cricket because quite often that can be lost in test cricket.”

And while he expects the quick change in format will be challenging, McMillan says the Black Caps will take an extra boost in confidence from their first test series win over Pakistan since 1985.

Craig McMillan says the Black Caps will carry confidence from the test series win into the ODIs.

“It gives you a sense of momentum, which can flow from format to format – it gives you confidence, and it gives you a sense of positivity.

The Black Caps are taking a relatively inexperienced squad across the Tasman, with only Tim Southee, Martin Guptill,

Kane Williamson, Trent Boult and Matt Henry remaining from the team which lost last year’s World Cup final in Melbourne to Australia.

But McMillan says that the current squad boasts some inform players who impressed in the Pakistan series, including test debutant Colin de Grandhomme.

The 30-year-old right-hander grabbed a six-wicket bag in the first test and finished the series with figures of 9-110.

“It’s still up for discussion in terms of the side we’re going to pick, but you have to say his performances in those two test matches were excellent.

“He made the most of his opportunities with both bat and ball, and I think he’s the sort of dynamic player that you want in your one-day side.”

Injury-free Black Caps seamer Tim Southee is looking forward to extending his impressive test form into the three-match Chappell-Hadlee ODI series in Australia. Southee added two second-innings scalps to his first innings six-wicket haul as New Zealand grabbed a 138-run win against Pakistan. The 27-yearold right-armer is confident he’s shaken off the ankle injury that restricted him earlier this year, and is confident he can carry his form against Pakistan across to the 50over format. “It’s just nice to be out there playing consistent cricket and bowling plenty of overs.” - NZME

Firepower on tap Trent Boult has been ruled fit for New Zealand’s three-match oneday tour of Australia while the Black Caps can’t wait to unleash raw paceman Lockie Ferguson, who’s been clocked at 150km/h.

Kiwi coach Mike Hesson confirmed left-arm paceman Boult was ready to go for the first match in Sydney on Sunday after missing the second Test against Pakistan with a knee injury. Opening batsman Martin Guptill was also cleared after having a cortisone injection for a troublesome shoulder. - NZME

Big Show dials it down Glenn Maxwell has declared he’s dimmed the lights on The Big Show and promised a more measured mindset in his return to Australia’s one-day side. After being dropped for this year’s limited-overs tours of Sri Lanka and South Africa, the big-hitting allrounder returns to the national squad for the threegame series against New Zealand starting in Sydney on Sunday.

Sometimes maligned for throwing his wicket away, he has declared himself a changed man and promised the fruits of his labours will quickly become apparent.

He says he used his time away from the spotlight to tighten his defensive game and fans will see a less reckless approach to his batting, particularly at the start of his innings.

In brief Money for middle men The man who was critical in looking after the NRL’s battlers and the stars now believes it’s time the middle men get some serious cash. Senior NRL figure Paul Gallen was a critical contributor in the last collective bargaining agreement in 2014, but has opted not to weigh in on the latest negotiations. But that hasn’t stopped the Cronulla captain from speaking up for the game’s average Joe to earn a bigger slice of the game’s record $1.8 billion broadcast deal from 2018 onwards.

Double standards slated Serena Williams has penned an open letter calling out what she sees as double standards faced by women in sports. The 22-time Grand Slam champion writes that women “are constantly reminded” they aren’t men. She says people call her one of the “world’s greatest female athletes,” but notes that male athletes such as LeBron James, Roger Federer and Tiger Woods aren’t described by their gender. Williams says the equal pay issue frustrates her because women “have done the same work and made the same sacrifices as our male counterparts”.

Stihl Suzuki dominate on the twilight courts

By James Ford

Round ten of Mid Canterbury tennis’s twilight competition was played out in fine conditions on Wednesday evening.

We Are Stihl Suzuki continued

their excellent run of form and kept their 100 per cent record intact with a 21-12 victory over Hit and Miss.

Tridents were also in solid form with a 21-12 win over Tradies.

It was Tridents’ eighth win of

the season, having lost only once in round one, while week eight was a washout.

Smithies and Hackers both took out 19-14 wins over ACD Aces and Miss Hits respectively, while Get a Grip and High Raters

put Council Crew and TBC to the sword 18-15.

The closest clash of the night was between the Tazmanian Devils and Famous Grouse, with the latter coming out on top 1716.

Parker sharp and focused

By Patrick mckendry Kiwi heavyweight Joseph Parker won’t let the impending announcement that close friend and stablemate Izu Ugonoh is about to sign with a rival promoter distract him from his world heavyweight title fight a week on Saturday.

An announcement that Ugonoh, a Polish heavyweight beginning to gather a big support base in New Zealand due to his exploits on Parker’s undercards, has switched from Duco Events to another promoter is due to be made today.

Parker and Ugonoh live together in trainer Kevin Barry’s Las Vegas house, but rather than fighting at Vector Arena and offering

support for Parker ahead of the Kiwi’s main event against Andy Ruiz, Ugonoh is in Poland.

Barry, a part manager of Ugonoh’s, will continue to train him.

Barry said it was time for Ugonoh, a 30-year-old undefeated over 17 professional fights, to follow a different path.

“It would have been a great opportunity for him to fight on the undercard,” Parker said, “but I guess he’s taking a different path now and as long as he’s happy we’re all happy.”

Parker, who drew a big media contingent in Auckland yesterday ahead of his final open training session, said he was feeling as focused as ever ahead of the biggest fight of his life.

He also said he was ready and willing to reveal what trainer Barry described as his inner “primal animal” to what will be a sellout crowd of 10,000 and a worldwide television audience of millions.

“With other camps it takes a few days to get into training and get that sluggish feeling out of you but I’ve hit the ground running,” Parker said.

“I feel sharp and focused – I feel this is the most focused I’ve been before a fight and I’ve got to be because it’s a world title.”

Barry said of what will flick the switch on fight night: “It’s the primal animal inside him. And I say that in all seriousness. That animal will come out when it needs to come out and it will pierce his opponent.”

Barry has spoken before of Parker’s new brutal “mindset” when fighting or even when sparring.

Parker said: “That will click in on fight day ... we practise it. And when it’s time to pull it out on fight day we know it’s there.

“You’ll know it when you see it.

It’s ferocious.

“I’ve been working too hard to go in there and play around.

“It comes down to who wants it more, who’s trained harder. for me, I want this so bad.

“He’s coming here to my home town, I’m ready.

“I want to put on a great show and give the fans what they want to see and most importantly focus on the job and that’s win the title.”

Early casualties at the Australian Open will still leave with a smile, with organisers planning to bump up their prize money. Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley confirmed yesterday there would be an increase in 2017 tournament prize money from the $44 million on offer this year.

Chess tltle retained Norwegian Magnus Carlsen has retained his crown as World Chess champion after defeating Russian challenger Sergey Karjakin in New York. On his 26th birthday, Carlsen won 3-1 in yesterday’s tiebreakers, after the pair’s 12-game match had ended in a 6-6 draw on Tuesday. The match, which began in Manhattan on November 11, had been tense throughout.

Karjakin won game 8, leading to Carlsen’s first loss of the match after 7 consecutive draws. In game 10 Carlsen tied the match with a win of his own. Carlsen – a chess prodigy who became a Grandmaster at the age of 13 – first won the World Championship in 2013, defeating Viswanathan Anand from India. He has held the title ever since.

TT ‘best racing there is’

Breakers supporting Webster

Tauranga’s Robbie Shorter has joined forces with two-time Isle of Man TT sidecar winner, John Holden, to race the NZ Suzuki Series 2016.

The pair look the team to beat in Sunday’s opening round at Bruce McLaren Motorsport Park in Taupo.

Round two is at Manfeild on December 11 and the big finale at the Cemetery Circuit in Wanganui on Boxing Day. NZ Suzuki Series 2016 is New Zealand’s largest motorcycle series with top riders competing from New Zealand, UK, Isle of Man, Europe, Japan, USA, Australia and, this year, 13 times Isle of Man TT winner Michael Dunlop.

But among the sidecar entries, Holden’s two TT victories – in 2011 and 2016 – stand out.

Sidecar passenger Shorter, 41, who has twice raced Isle of Man with driver Colin Buckley, is excited about the prospect of competing for the first time with 60-year-old Holden.

“I’ve done two laps with him in Germany but that’s it,” Shorter said.

“But we have forged a relationship, with us going over and doing the worlds and that.

“John discussed with me at the TT that he would be interested in doing the series and I jumped at the chance.

“What an opportunity.

“To be able to be on the bike with him as a current TT winner, well it doesn’t get much better than that does it.

“I sort of have been pinching myself a bit for the last month and now it is actually here it is even more exciting I think.”

Holden and Shorter will compete using the bike Holden won the TT on in June.

“I am looking forward to Wanganui really.

“I think racing on the roads will be my thing,” Holden said.

“There are not many (street circuits) left for sidecars.”

Holden first competed at Isle

By Kris shannon

John Holden in action at the Isle of Man, a circuit that has claimed the lives of 252 riders so far, including seven New Zealanders. of Man circuit in 1988 but had a break from competing there until 1996.

He has not missed a year since and now has two titles.

“Just going faster”, is his straightforward reason for his recent success.

His victory in June was marred by four more fatalities during the event, including sidecar competitors Dwight Beare and Ian Bell.

They took the death toll to 252, including seven New Zealand riders, at the Snaefell Mountain Course circuit in TT and Manx Grand Prix races since 1911.

Holden admits the loss of Bell hit him hard.

“This year, after Ian Bell got killed, I had to seriously question what I was doing.

“Ian was a similar experienced guy to me, on similar machinery and everything.

“I did question myself.

“If I stop racing does that guarantee anything?

“And it doesn’t.

“And if I carry on racing, does that mean it is going to happen to me?

“And it doesn’t.

“So why stop myself doing something I really enjoy.

“TT is simply the very best

sidecar or road race there is.

“It is something else.”

Shorter compares winning Isle of Man TT to winning a gold medal at the Olympics.

But his golden moment will have to wait for now.

He has decided family comes first so he will not be returning to the Isle of Man next year.

“Definitely next year for me is not on.

“My son’s birthday falls right in the middle of TT week and for the last two years I have missed it,” Shorter said.

“It is a big one as he is 10.

“My wife is very pleased.”

■ RUGBY

Wallabies could do the All Blacks a favour Struggling for a side to cheer for in Sunday’s clash between the Wallabies and England?

It’s always tough to pick a side when you want both nations to lose but there might be one good reason to support Australia at Twickenham.

A Wallabies’ victory would snap England’s winning streak which is gaining ground on the All Blacks’ tier one record set earlier this season.

England are seeking a 14th straight test victory on Sunday, going back to their final pool game at last year’s Rugby World Cup when they defeated Uruguay.

England have won 12 straight in 2016 under Eddie Jones and are seeking a fourth straight win over the Wallabies this season.

The All Blacks have swept the Wallabies 4-0 twice before – 1962 and 2009.

The All Blacks broke the Tier 1 world record for 18-straight test victories when they defeated the Wallabies at Eden Park in October.

The streak was broken by Ireland when they stunned New Zealand 40-29 in Chicago last month.

If they win this Sunday, England would need to go unbeaten through the Six Nations to break the All Blacks’ record.

England completed the Grand Slam earlier this year to win the Six Nations but haven’t done it in successive years since 1992.

England host France in the opening round of the Six Nations on February 4.

A week later they head to Cardiff to face Wales before hosting Italy and Scotland.

Should England win their first four tests they will finish the Six Nations with a clash against Ireland – the only side to beat the All Blacks since they lifted the World Cup last year.

A win would give England 19 on the trot and the new record.

England coach Eddie Jones

Corey Webster will almost certainly be back in a Breakers singlet on Sunday before trading it for a suit on Monday as he prepares to defend an assault charge.

The mercurial basketball player was yesterday suspended for one game by the Breakers for breaching club values, but they are fully supporting their man after Webster told them he did nothing wrong.

Having celebrated his 28th birthday on Tuesday, Webster was arrested and charged with assault after police were called to a fight at a Takapuna bar early Wednesday morning.

And while the Breakers are deferring to the legal process, with Webster due to appear at North Shore District Court on Monday, an internal investigation left the club content to welcome him back to the basketball court on Sunday in Melbourne.

“Corey is basically saying he had no involvement,” said Breakers general manager Dillon Boucher.

“He’s advised us that he hasn’t assaulted anybody so, right now, we support him 100 per cent, and he’ll defend this vigorously in court.”

Webster will miss tonight’s encounter with Illawarra at the North Shore Events Centre, a blow to a Breakers team seeking revenge after a 31-point hiding against the Hawks a fortnight ago.

But Boucher stressed that suspension had nothing to do with the alleged assault; it was instead a product of Webster’s indiscretion during a game week and communication after the incident occurred.

The Breakers were unhappy with Webster being out late the night before practice, with police called to The Takapuna Bar at 12.30am, and they were especially perturbed by what happened the following morning.

“We found out there was a problem – we didn’t find out the extent of the problem – from Corey,” Boucher said.

“Corey didn’t attend training on Wednesday morning and we knew there was an issue, but the details of what we were told probably weren’t as clear as we would have liked.

“He just said there were personal reasons why he wasn’t there – he didn’t delve too much into it and we didn’t dig too much deeper.

“We subsequently found out later on what had happened and were disappointed not to have known all the facts.”

Disappointment was the general sentiment at Breakers headquarters as Boucher, coach Paul Henare and captains Mika Vukona and Tom Abercrombie fronted media on a matter none of them would have wanted to discuss the day before an important game. - NZME

McGregor Mayweather bout still on UFC star Conor McGregor is a showman by nature, but even this was a little unexpected.

The 28-year-old UFC lightweight champion has made his first serious move toward a proposed superfight against boxing immortal Floyd Mayweather by obtaining a boxing licence to fight in California yesterday.

McGregor’s manager Audie A. Attar confirmed the news to MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani.

ESPN.com’s Brett Okamoto later confirmed it with the California State Athletic Commission.

McGregor and Mayweather have been talking up a fight for several months.

The Irish superstar’s striking ability – which has been far superior to anyone he’s faced inside the Octagon – had some experienced judges indicating he could hold his own against the 49-0 former pound-forpound champion.

“It comes along once in a lifetime or once every hundred years or what not,” said Mark Henry, the striking coach of UFC lightweight Eddie Alvarez.

“I think God has just blessed him with a swing that I’ll probably never see again.

“Before this fight, I would highly doubt him fighting Mayweather, but I think this dude can take out Mayweather.

“I’m not even joking.”

But Mayweather has insisted McGregor is not in his league.

“I didn’t know Conor

Friday, December 2, 2016

McGregor was undefeated,” he told TMZ recently.

“I didn’t know he had a reign in MMA for 20 years and was undefeated and was world champion in five different weight classes.

“That’s something I didn’t know. So I guess you guys are telling me something new if you say he’s the Floyd Mayweather of the MMA. “If you say he’s the Floyd Mayweather of the MMA, I’m trying to find out have you ever made $300 million in one night?

“Have you ever made $100 million in one night? Have you ever made $70 million in one night.

“So as far as saying he’s the Floyd Mayweather of MMA - it’s OK to say it but it’s not true.”

McGregor was forced to vacate his UFC featherweight title this week as the promotion scrambled to salvage an injury-hit UFC 206 card in Toronto next weekend.

The Irishman became the sport’s first two-division world champion when he beat Alvarez for the lightweight belt at UFC 205 in New York a fortnight ago.

The UFC said on Saturday that McGregor – who is not expected to fight again until the middle of next year – had relinquished the featherweight belt which has now been given to interim holder Jose Aldo.

Max Holloway and Anthony Pettis will now headline UFC 206 in a scrap for the interim featherweight belt.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You have a big heart. You accommodate those who live inside it. If you don’t get to the goal, it’s because your loved one needed you more. You thought that was more important, and you were right.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): No “casual Friday” for you.

In your efforts, you’ll prove just how strong you are. Determination and tenacity are so much a part of your makeup that everyone comes to expect it from you.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): People have surprised you in good and bad ways, and now you’re not as surprised. In fact, now you can predict some behaviours you wish you couldn’t. But you can, and you should.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’re happiest in a thriving space that lives and grows along with you.

The maintenance, the updates – when you approach them with the right attitude, they bring you pleasure and satisfaction.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): This is not a day to buy or sell anything in haste. Do your research.

Wait to get the best price. An attitude of nonchalance doesn’t hurt either. You’re in a good position, but not if you don’t believe it.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’re a citizen of the world, and your exemplary manners will be your passport. Of course there are cultural differences to consider. Intention counts.

You don’t have to get it perfect to get it right.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The best people you know have a dark side, and the worst people you know can be kind and wonderful, too. Your capacity for understanding the complexities will help you manage the day.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): A world in emotional order can plunge into chaos with the one exciting dynamic. Such things can be like thrilling carnival attractions. Use your ticket to ride.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Make thoughtful decisions. Stave away the fever of impulsivity. Don’t give in! If you feel yourself acting rashly, consider that you may feel differently when a few hours have passed.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Haggling for what you need can be a tedious process if the people involved just can’t give it to you. Maybe they don’t have it. Turn elsewhere and hang on for big, bright, beautiful results.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Quiet observation is called for. Tune in. Read the small changes in a loved one’s behaviour and draw a conclusion. Then keep it to yourself for a while. Watch and see to test the truth.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The relationship that doesn’t help you is hurting you because it’s taking up your valuable attention. If you had a void there, you would fill it with more helpful forces.

HOGG, Nicky To our dear friend.

The angels looked down from heaven one night, They searched for miles afar, and deep within the distance, they could see a shining star.

They knew that very instant, that the star was theirs to gain, So they took you up to heaven Forever to remain.

Look down on us from heaven, Keep us free from hurt and pain, You’ll always be within my heart, Until we meet again.

Love always.

Sharron, Cynders and families.

DEATHS

COPLAND, John Duncan – (28-01-1958 - 2/12/2006). In loving memory of a very special brother, uncle, and friend who we tragically lost ten years ago.

We will never understand why you had to go, We miss you more than you will ever know.

Remembered with love, Richard, Susan, Lynley, Maree and families.

Sport Pakistan skipper upbeat Despite coming off a 2-0 Test series defeat to New Zealand, Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq is licking his lips for the chance to rip into an “unsettled” Australia. Pakistan on Tuesday capitulated in the last session of the second test in Hamilton to lose to the Black Caps by 138 runs and cap a dismal tour.

Misbah returned home after losing the first Test in Christchurch because of the death of his father-in-law.

“Australia is not a settled team, and they have made changes in the last match (against South Africa),” Misbah said yesterday.

Perry in hot form The Mid Canterbury Hammers’ scrum under the watchful eye of coach Glenn Moore prepares for their Ranfurly Shield challenge against Hawke’s Bay in 2015. Mid Canterbury gave the Bay a serious early fright before going down 57-12.

Shield challenge all on Mid Canterbury’s Ranfurly Shield challenge has been accepted by Canterbury, and will be played in Ashburton on August 4 next year.

Canterbury also accepted a challenge from reigning Meads Cup champions Wanganui, who will take on Canterbury on June 21 at AMI Stadium in Christchurch.

Should Canterbury see off the Butcher Boys, the shield will head south where the Hammers will look to make the most of home advantage against Canterbury at the Ashburton Showgrounds.

Canterbury CEO Hamish Riach confirmed that several challenges were received from Mitre 10 Championship and Heartland unions, and, in the end, felt the decision to play Wanganui and Mid Canterbury was in keeping with the spirit that comes with the Log o’ Wood.

Wanganui won the Meads

Cup, so will be a very strong challenge, while Mid Canterbury had a strong showing in the Lochore Cup losing in the semi-final to North Otago, said Riach.

New Canterbury coach Glenn Delaney said he is looking forward to his first assignment as head coach and expects both challengers to offer stern tests as part of his pre-season programme.

“Canterbury had a wonderful season this year, so I’m looking forward to assembling my squad for our 2017 campaign, and planning our defences against both Wanganui and Mid Canterbury,” he said.

“The Ranfurly Shield brings something really special for both challengers and defenders, so I’m expecting a couple of very tough games.”

The Hammers last challenged for the shield against Hawke’s Bay in July last year.

Changes of tune on day/nighters P25

After a plucky display Mid Canterbury went down 5712, but the scoreline did not truly reflect the nature of the clash with the Magpies piling on a wave of late points in Napier.

Mid Canterbury CEO Ian Patterson is hoping that the match will attract plenty of support, on a special day for local rugby.

“Mid Canterbury Rugby are absolutely thrilled that Canterbury have accepted our challenge for the Ranfurly Shield, and to be able to host the match in Ashburton is going to be very special,” he said.

“It will be the first time a shield match has been played in Ashburton for many years so it will be great occasion for rugby and the wider community.”

Red-hot allrounder Ellyse Perry wants to score even more quickly as she prepares to swap international cricket allegiances for interstate rivalry. Perry scored half centuries in all four of her innings in the five-match ODI series against South Africa which finished in Coffs Harbour on Tuesday. The 26-year-old right-hander scored 313 runs at an average of 156.50, twice bettering her previous best ODI score with unbeaten efforts of 93 and 95 in the first two matches. She also took three wickets in the final game.

New England manager

2017 shield challenges: Canterbury v Wanganui, Wednesday June 21, AMI Stadium Mid Canterbury v Canterbury, Friday August 4, Ashburton

Gareth Southgate is England’s new football manager after his long-expected appointment was confirmed by the Football Association. The 46-year -old signed a four-year deal yesterday after his nomination as Sam Allardyce’s successor was nodded through during an FA board meeting at St George’s Park. Southgate became interim manager in September, stepping up from his role as under-21 boss, winning two and drawing two of his four games in charge and was the only candidate interviewed.
