‘Why is it taking so long?’

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton’s i-SITE has been closed for a year and the rumblings of discontent over that closure are still rolling in the community, says Tony Todd, leader of a large protest rally over the closure.

He was outspoken about the need to keep the centre open and since its closure he has been working with a group of locals on a proposal to reopen the building as an information centre and

more. Last month Todd and his team spoke at an Ashburton District Council meeting about their plans, and they have now been thrown in the mix with several other proposals from potential users of the building.

In spite of efforts by councillor Stuart Wilson, those proposals were discussed by councillors behind closed doors.

The doors remain closed on any public discussion and that’s angering Todd.

what we see as a simple decision?” he said.

Todd and other members of the information centre group were “totally frustrated” by the amount of time the council was taking and those delays were costing the group in lost opportunities, he said.

Halloween proves popular with Ashburton children

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

A Halloween fright night at the Plains Museum was a hit with more than 300 people lining up to be scared by creepy clowns, zombies and other frightening faces.

The night was put on by members of the Big Little Theatre Company and organiser Suz Burns said there was screaming, laughter and even a few tears.

The biggest reaction was elicited by the chainsaw massacre character.

“There was a lot of screaming, followed by a lot of laughter as well.”

Junior visitors, accompanied by their parents, began arriving at 7pm and walked around the village where actors were hiding waiting to deliver their frights. The drama students had 10 minutes to revive with food before older visitors began lining for the senior event at 9pm.

Burns said the 17 company members, and two dads roped in for the occasion, were in scare mode for nearly four hours and they used drama skills like improvisation.

They also learned to gauge the appropriate level of scare factor for the different visitors.

“Some of the girls might be

struggling to talk today because of their screaming, but all the students loved it and went with it.”

She said it was great to see a lot of the younger visitors also

dressed in Halloween costumes or masks.

The theatre company was thrilled so many people came out for the night, which was a fund-

raiser for a trip to the Globe Theatre in London next year.

Burns said the night was such a success, they planned to do it again next year. It could become

an annual event, with new and scarier twists.

A community Halloween event in Braebrook was also a hit, with youngsters happily trick or treating residents who had marked their homes as open to visitors.

Organiser Taryn McFadden had put a neighbourhood flier and orange balloon in letterboxes in the subdivision and asked people to inflate and fly the balloon if they wanted to participate.

The response was awesome, she said, with about 60 per cent of homes in the area taking part.

Parents wearing aprons decorated with fake blood could be seen pushing buggies as youngsters dressed up for the occasion trooped door to door seeking treats.

McFadden said it was a great way to meet newcomers to the subdivision and everybody who took part had a blast.

Two homeowners put in an extra special effort to decorate their entrances with spiders, skeletons and other creepy things. The treats were delivered with smiles though.

“You meet other people in your neighbourhood. It was really nice and gives that community connection – and you feel safe.”

‘Why is it taking so long?’

From P1 “We explained in our submission that time was critical for us.

We were hoping to have a decision from the council now. We have people who would be involved as staff sitting in limbo and we could

lose them while the council procrastinates.”

Todd said his group had been surprised when the council decided to discuss the information building proposals in committee, but had expected the issue

Teachers plan second strike day

If facilitation efforts fail, Ashburton’s primary school teachers will walk off the job later this month for a second time this year.

Ashburton’s strike will be part of a week of industrial action across the country as teachers push for smaller classes, more resources and a significant increase in salaries.

Local NZEI union representative Jade Tonks said that teachers hoped facilitation would achieve the outcome teachers wanted without the second round of strike action becoming necessary.

They were, however, committed to improving the teaching environment for both themselves and their students, she said.

The Employment Relations Authority has accepted the joint application for facilitation that was urgently lodged by both the Ministry and the New Zealand Education Institute Te Riu Roa. When Ashburton’s primary teachers marched through Ashburton’s streets in August in support of their pay and condition

■ More release time for teachers to complete assessments properly ■ A 16 per cent pay increase over the course of a two year agreement ■ A special needs co-ordinator for every school so children with additional needs have a dedicated expert.

Of those issues the government has agreed to the special needs coordinator request only Details of this are still being worked through.

In terms of increased pay, the government has offered 3 per cent a year over a three year agreement which equals 6 per cent over two years instead of the 16 per cent claimed.

“What has been asked for and what has been offered aren’t even close to each other,” Tonks said.

Schools were hundreds of teachers short for next year and that shortage would continue to grow because nothing was being done to make the job more manageable and attractive, she said.

Since 2010 annual pay increases had been declining – 2.7 per cent in 2010, zero in 2011 and 2012, 1.2 per cent in 2013, less than 1 per cent in 2014 and 2015, 2 per cent in 2016.

Chairman’s baton changes hands at ACL

BY SUE NEWMAN

Left – Newly elected chairman of Ashburton Contracting Alister Lilley (left) with retiring chairman John Tavendale.

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

After four years in the chair, John Tavendale has retired down as head of the Ashburton Contracting board.

He will be replaced by a current board member Alister Lilley.

In stepping down, Tavendale said it had been a privilege working with his fellow directors and leading the board through a significant restructuring of the management team.

“It’s been very productive.

We’ve had a good year on the back of solid work by the team and it’s always good to go out on a high,” he said.

Unlike many board chairman’s Tavendale said he did not come through the board’s ranks, rather he was thrown in at the deep end.

“My first day at ACL was as its chair.”

While ACL was a council controlled organisation, only 30 per cent of its work came from council contracts, the rest it secured by competing on the open market, he said.

“The public perception is that we’re 90 per cent dependent on the council. We’re not, we’re a strong contractor in the wider community for the benefit of the district.”

Every chairman had different skills and under Lilley’s direction

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 301018-SN-0084

ACL would progress in a different way, Tavendale said.

Lilley confirmed that his chairmanship would not see the

end of change.

“Under John’s stewardship he has led ACL through changes and more changes will come.

Nothing is for ever,” Lilley said.

ACL had a lot of work ahead in the foreseeable future, but there was no denying it was in a challenging industry, he said.

“Its profit this year is the second highest in its history and it’s the people who achieve that; you’re only as good as your people, but we have to be progressive and look outside our normal barriers where work as traditionally come from.”

The company will shortly open a branch in Rolleston.

A council controlled organisation is one where the council holds equity securities carrying 50 per cent or more of the voting rights.

It can appoint 50 per cent or more of the directors of the organisation.

Siren success for community SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

After being turned down by the Ashburton District Council when it sought funds to replace its emergency siren, the Hakatere Huts community has secured the money it needed through another funding route.

Councillors were divided earlier this year with the huts association asked the council for $2800 to pay for a new siren, but the

As well as a service at 11am, there will be vintage vehicles on display. Baring Square West, between Havelock and Cameron streets, will be closed from 9.30am to 2pm that day.

Necklace owner wanted

■ HAKATERE HUTS

BY SUE NEWMAN

In brief

majority said no.

The siren is used as a community alert on occasions when residents needed to come together and the original siren, given by the council, no longer functioned.

At an environmental services committee meeting in August councillors decided if the hut holders wanted a new siren they would have to pay for it themselves.

Both Rangitata and Rakaia huts residents had funded their own sirens and councillors decided if they could foot the bill, so too could Hakatere’s hut holders.

Undeterred the hut holders decided to change tack and to seek funding from the council’s community grants fund. They were successful and received $4200 for a replacement siren. This will be maintained by the council.

EA Networks has provided a

new support pole, without charge.

In the same community grants round the Stavely Campsite committee was given $4795 to implement a weed control strategy, Sri Taniwha Ltd was granted $5000 to poison on-site sycamore, laurel and ivy in native forest adjacent to the Rakaia Gorge and the Kittyhawk Presentation group was given $7000 to secure and rebuild the World War Two hangar at Ashburton Airport.

Ashburton Police are looking for the owner of a gold chain that was handed into the station on Tuesday. The chain was found in the central business area and is quite distinctive in appearance.

The owner can reclaim the necklace by calling at the Ashburton Police station and describing its appearance.

Christmas lights Christmas will officially arrive in Ashburton in just four weeks.

On November 30 the town’s Christmas tree will be lit in Baring Square East and the festive season welcomed with a family style festival. The giant Christmas tree made its first appearance last year when hundreds of people turned out to enjoy the occasion. This year’s ceremony will be followed by the screening of a children’s Christmas movie, carol singing, food and entertainment. The 6.5 metre tall tree will be lit at 9pm with more carols and music to follow. During the event Baring Square east will be closed between 4pm and 11pm.

Past Chief Justice dies Former Chief Justice Sir Thomas Eichelbaum has died, aged 87.

In a statement, Chief Justice Dame Sian Elias, who succeeded Sir Thomas as Chief Justice, said serving and former members of the judiciary have been deeply saddened to hear of the death of Sir Thomas. Sir Thomas was Chief Justice of New Zealand from 1989 to 1999. “Chief Justice Eichelbaum was a reforming leader of the judiciary who modernised courts administration during his time in office,” Elias said. Eichelbaum was born in Germany, in 1931, to Jewish parents. His family emigrated to New Zealand in 1938.

Dancing Through the Seasons sure to entertain

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Top highland dancing talent will be on show at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre this Saturday.

Julie Hawke School of Dance is presenting its annual end-of-year production, Dancing Through the Seasons.

It will star about 75 pupils, from preschoolers through to the nationally accomplished.

“They have been putting in extra practices and rehearsals, it’s been quite intensive since the end of the school holidays,” school operator Julie Hawke said.

“They are very excited, and there’s a few little tiny ones looking forward to joining the cast.”

The magic of dance will reflect the magic of the seasons, beginning with autumn leaves and scarecrows.

This will be followed by Ana, Elsa, Olaf and the snowmen with

their snowflakes, before diminutive honey bees and flowers steal the show in a Spring Fling.

Seniors will showcase their talent with Singing in the Rain, followed by rainbows and sailors bringing life to the ocean, and finally Grease characters starring in a 1950s swing.

The show will feature New Zealand 18-and-over Highland Champion of Champions Lewis Gibson, who also this year gained the prestigious Solo Seal examination.

He will be performing with senior local dancers who have also hit national title status this year.

Britney Moore was runner-up Under-18 New Zealand Champion, while Lucy Moore, Charlotte Sloper and Megan Harrison all won individual New Zealand championship titles and national rankings.

Dancing Through the Seasons will start at 3pm.

Right – Highland dancers Britney Moore (left), 18, and Milly Christie, 13, are preparing to sing in the rain at Dancing Through the Seasons on Saturday.

■ ROAD SAFETY

Savings ahead of safety in road plan

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Between January 2010 and March 2018 there have been 19 deaths and 109 serious injuries on State Highway One between Christchurch and Ashburton.

And that, says Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon, makes the stretch of road the second most dangerous in the country.

Earlier this week the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA)

OPEN HOMES or view our open homes in 3D “24/7”

cutting ahead of safety, Falloon said, because the cut-price option would not achieve the accident deterrent measures claimed.

He has been pushing for the highway, from Rolleston to Ashburton, to be four-laned and said that the cut-price plan to install median barriers on the two lane road was a poor safety substitute.

“The road is simply too narrow

released a draft plan that proposed several measures it believed would improve safety on the section of road from the Selwyn River to Rakaia.

One of the key elements of this was constructing a flexible median barrier on the highway.

It also proposed to change some intersections and to reduce speed limits in several areas.

With what was proposed, the government was putting cost

m²

to safely do that,” he said.

While median barriers might be successful on the Waikato Expressway and the Tauranga Eastern Link both of those roads had four lanes, Falloon said.

“Since their construction neither road has had a single fatality and we need the same type of road between Ashburton and Christchurch.”

The government was ignoring the horrendous statistics for

the Christchurch to Ashburton stretch of the highway, all in the pursuit of cutting costs out of the South Island’s roading budget.

This is the effect of slashing funding of the state highway network by $5billion, and instead spending money on Auckland rail and cycleway projects, he said.

“The government is prioritising Auckland and putting the safety of Cantabrians at risk.”

High country fishing

Fright Night a hit The Big Little Theatre Company’s Fright Night at the Plains Museum on Wednesday night proved a real hit with young and old.

Guardian photographer, Heather Mackenzie was there to capture some of the action.

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Anglers on Lake Heron this weekend for the start of the high country fishing season have a chance to help restock an extinct fishery in North America.

Anglers who catch salmon may be asked by Fish and Game officers for a fin sample, so DNA from the fish can be compared against salmon DNA on record in North America.

Members of the Native American Winnemem Wintu tribe were in New Zealand earlier this year when Fish and Game officers were sampling winter-run salmon in several South Island rivers.

New Zealand’s salmon stock originated from ova sourced from the McCloud River in California and the tribe is hoping it can restock the river. The species became extinct when the Shasta dam was built and stopped salmon migrating to spawning grounds.

Central South Island Fish and Game officer Rhys Adams will be one of the rangers checking fishing licences in the Ashburton Lakes area and asking for fins samples from salmon caught in Lake Heron.

He said westerly conditions forecast for the weekend might be challenging for anglers but any lake salmon caught had a chance of having the ancestral DNA the tribe was after.

The fish came from a spawning ground in a tributary to Lake Heron and the resident salmon population was targeted by anglers in the fishing season.

“On a beautiful sunny day it is not uncommon for 80 anglers to be at Lake Heron,” he said.

Rangers and volunteers will also be checking anglers at neighbouring Maori Lakes and Lakes Emma, Clearwater and Camp.

The low country fishing season started a month ago.

Adams said fishing conditions on the rivers had generally been good.

NOVEMBER IS A GOOD

time to…

Henri Ham

AWAPUNI NURSERIES

Keep your spring planting up with all your favourite herbs and veges. Plant tomatoes (we have 13 types in stock right now), cucumbers, courgettes, basil, Russian tarragon, radishes and sweet corn.

Try secessional planting of your leafy greens like lettuce, rocket and spinach.

This means planting a few more every couple weeks to ensure you have a continual supply over summer.

Capsicums and chillies are best planted at this time of the year too. Really, all

vege and herbs you see in our online shop right now are perfect for planting.

November also produces ideal conditions for the weeds to shoot up now too. Keep on top of them with weekly hoeing. Applying mulch will help keep the weeds down as it prevents the light getting through to them and sprouting.

Nourishing your garden with a good general fertiliser a week or two after your seedlings have gone in will help give them the best start. This is best done right after your weeding.

Set up climbing frames for your peas, beans, tomatoes and cucumbers.

Training plants upwards also means you’ll end up with more room in your garden for herbs and smaller vege to be poked in between things. Any gaps that you’re left with are also good for planting a few spring onions in.

Get some netting up over your strawberries and anything else that is

at risk from the birds. The birds will also be looking for aphids, as will wasps.

Hose any aphids off with a burst of water and spray your plants with neem or conqueror oil. Planting marigolds around your roses will also help deter the aphids.

Now is also the time to plant your sunflowers. Our Russian giants can reach up to 3m so make sure you remember to stake them right from the beginning. Petunias, poppies, cosmos and salvias are also all popular flowers to plant right now.

If you’re wanting flowers that are bit further along the growing cycle, the nursery also has a range of established plants. You’ll find flowers such as lupins, lavender, foxglove, and poppies.

They’ve all had extra months of growing at the nursery so will instantly give appeal to your garden.

Finally, if your grass is looking patchy sow some grass seed to smarten up your lawn.

OPEN HOME

safety

Kevin Lampen-Smith

REA

When selling a property, many people are uncomfortable with the idea of strangers looking through their house when they’re not present. However, holding an open home is often the best way to show off the place to potential buyers.

Welcoming house hunters (and let’s be honest, a few nosy neighbours) to a property does come with privacy and security risks that vendors should be aware of – and plan for.

“It’s natural for sellers to have concerns about privacy and security – after all, you’re inviting complete

strangers into your family’s home,” Real Estate Authority (REA) Chief Executive Kevin Lampen-Smith said.

Lampen-Smith suggests sellers prepare by taking note of any items of sentimental or monetary value that should be removed from the property.

“Think about items that could easily be slipped into a pocket or handbag, such as jewellery, silverware, small electronics or even the prescription medication stored in your bathroom cabinet. Tucking them away in your sock drawer or under your bed won’t do the trick,” Lampen-Smith said.

Something that’s often overlooked by sellers opening their house to potential buyers is the risk of identity theft. It might sound far-fetched, but sellers who leave important documents like passports, bank statements or credit card receipts lying around are leaving themselves vulnerable. Lampen-Smith recommends these sorts of documents be tidied away and stored somewhere secure.

Next, do a digital sweep of the property. The family PC or office desktop should be switched off and password protected. USB sticks or hard drives that are loaded with personal information should also be stored securely.

“While this might sound like plain old commonsense to many, I’ve heard of a seller leaving a post-it note with the house alarm code right next to the alarm, for anyone to come back and deactivate later,” Lampen-Smith recalls.

Sellers should talk to their real estate agent or salesperson about how the actual open home will be conducted.

“Ask if there will be a sign-in register, where visitors provide their name and contact information when they arrive at the showing. This is a helpful tool for the agent when it comes to following up with potential buyers, and, in the case that something is damaged or stolen during the open home, the information can be passed onto police,” Lampen-Smith said.

The agent is required to be present at the viewing and shouldn’t leave potential buyers alone at the property.

Ideally, the agent should accompany visitors as they tour the house, but this isn’t always possible if the showing gets busy. Sellers could ask that a second person from the real estate agency be on-site during the open home, to greet visitors at the door, ask them to sign in and wait until the agent is free to show them through.

Sellers who still feel uneasy about having an open home could ask the agent to show the property ‘by appointment only’ to potential buyers.

“There’s no law saying you must have an open home. Remember, it’s your house and ultimately you don’t have to do anything you’re uncomfortable with,” Lampen-Smith said.

An awesome experience W

hile the more urbanfavoured Ford Ranger has been New Zealand’s number one vehicle for three years in a row, the Raptor has been designed for tougher off-roading.

The Ranger Raptor includes standard front and rear Fox Racing Shox shock absorbers for high speeds off-road.

It has increased ride height, a wider track and improved approach and departure angles for extreme off-road capability and stability.

The 2018 Raptor also gets a new powertrain of a 2-litre bi-turbo diesel engine, paired with a 10-speed transmission that provides closer gear ratios over a wider span.

Despite its smaller capacity compared to current Ranger models available in New Zealand, the engine produces 157kW of power and 500Nm of torque, making it the most powerful in the line up compared with the 470Nm 3.2-litre diesel Ranger Wildtrak.

Designed by Ford Performance, the company says Raptor has been configured specifically for customers in Asia Pacific.

Ford Performance chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi, said the name Raptor is inherited from the Ford F-150 Raptor.

“Just like its predecessor the F-150 Raptor, the Ranger Raptor builds upon the core capability of the range of vehicles it comes from and carries the unmistakable Ford Performance DNA appearance,” he said.

It’s grille is similar to the F-150 Raptor,

while the frame mounted front-bumper system is designed to offer desert durability performance and resist dents and dings often associated with off-road usage, says Ford.

The Ranger Raptor is 873mm high, 2180mm wide and 5398mm long, with wider front and rear tracks at 1710mm.

All-terrain BF Goodrich 285/70 R17 tyres have been specially developed for the

Ranger Raptor with tough sidewall, and an aggressive off-road tread pattern which provides grip in wet, mud, sand and snow conditions.

The 2018 Ranger Raptor also comes with unique underbody protection bash plate made from 2.3mm thick high-strength steel.

Ranger Raptor comes with a Terrain Management System offering six modes for

various driving experiences, which can be selected via a dedicated five-button switch located on the steering wheel.

“It is amazing to enable this level of performance and create a vehicle that can provide off-road enthusiasts such an adrenaline rush,” said Hameedi. “It really is like a motocross bike, snowmobile and an ATV rolled up into a pickup truck – it’s an incredible, awesome experience!”

Arrive with Acadia

G

iven that Black Fern’s coach Glenn Moore is the new manager of Smallbone Holden and Gregg Murphy, Steven Donald and Mils Muliaina are brand ambassadors for Holden NZ, it is entirely appropriate for the new Acadia to have a sporting touch about it. Especially so the top of the range LTZ-V with its adaptive suspension.

Then as well, for this large, sevenseat SUV to look very appealing in black!

“The Holden Acadia is a headturner – with its strong stance and striking appearance, driving an Acadia makes a confident statement.

“You don’t just turn up, you arrive” says Holden New Zealand Managing Director, Marc Ebolo.

“The new model offers the latest technology, a full suite of active safety features, local tuning for our roads as well as the luxury of space, combined with versatile interior configurations.

“Furthermore, it represents an extremely compelling value proposition as it’s available from only $49,990, which includes three-years free scheduled servicing, three-years roadside assistance and three-years warranty”.

All Acadia are powered by a 3.6 litre V6 petrol producing Its 231kW and 367Nm.

It has stop/start, active fuel management and a nine-speed auto.

There’s the choice of two or all-wheel variants in LT, LTZ and LTZ-V specifications.

The stated overall fuel use figures are – 2WD 8.9-litres/100km and AWD 9.3-litres/100km.

Born in the US, Acadia is big on space and comfort, and clever when it comes to convenience.

A genuine seven-seater,the second seating row adjusts front to rear allowing leg room for all and maximum usability of the spacious third row.

Both rows of rear seats fold flat for extra cargo capacity as needed.

Its plush ride and confident handling are the result of the McPherson strut front and five link independent rear suspension being extensively tuned and tested by Holden engineers at the company’s proving ground at Lang Lang in Victoria.

There’s plenty to keep passengers entertained including and 2.1-amp fast charge USB points ( just what you need to recharge an iPad) for all rows.

There’s Hitch Guidance/ View,systems which help you line the vehicle up, and then check on it while driving.

Pricing starts at $49,990 for the 2WD LT through to $71,990 for the AWD LTZ-V.

Cruisin’ for a good time T

he Vintage Car Club P60 and P80 categories have understandably become very popular sections within the club.

Motor vehicles constructed between January 1 1961 and December 31 1980 make up the P60 classification and vehicles constructed after January 1 1981 and up to 30 years old are in the P80 class.

An annual run for vehicles from these categories has become a very popular annual event on the club’s calendar, and those who took part last year said they can’t wait for the 2019 cruise.

Their wait is nearly over.

Owen and Lorraine Wilson, who planned the 2018 run, have mapped out another P60/P80 cruise for Sunday 11 November 11.

The destination is a secret, but the Wilsons are renowned for finding interesting roads to follow and fascinating places to visit, so there’s no doubt those taking part will find the journey enjoyable.

Mind you, to be honest about it, Owen – with his tongue definitely in his cheek – was heard to say “we’ll lead them astray” to which he promptly added “and probably ourselves too”.

The cruise will be fun!

What we do know is that the run leaves from West Street, outside the Ashburton Domain, at 9.00am on Sunday morning and arrangements have been made for morning tea and lunch stops, and visits to interesting properties.

While run under the auspices of the Vintage Car Club, entries are not restricted to members and organisers Owen and Lorraine say anyone with a vehicle which fits the category is most welcome to join in for a day of noncompetitive and interesting motoring.

But for catering purposes the Wilsons need to know numbers before Monday November 6, so anyone wishing to take part is asked to contact them by phoning 308-8485.

Kelly and Barbara Kingsbury, who have enjoyed previous cruises, are among those who have been eagerly awaiting this year’s outing.

“It’s always a good day out and always a lot of fun”, says Barbara.

The Kingsbury’s aren’t quite sure yet which of their cars – either the Chrysler of the Vauxhall – they’ll be travelling in.

Bernard Egan MOTORING

Both are fabulous cars, so it’s a case of decisions, decisions – but either way one thing is for sure – on the day Kelly and Barbara will be motoring in a great car.

Interested in all forms of motoring, the Kingsburys see the P60 and P80 categories as a reminder that historic motoring is not restricted to really old vehicles.

They feel these cataegories provide an opportunity for owners of later model vehicles to share their enthusiasm for motoring.

And that’s what the cruise will be all about – sharing a fun day.

MOTORING MIRTH

T

hanks to a talented editorial group within the TR Register – an organisation dedicated to Triumph TR Sportscars – the club produces an excellent newsy magazine called TRansmission, the arrival of which is always eagerly awaited.

Some funnies appear in the current edition which we thought readers will enjoy as much as we have.

Traffic officer: You were going too fast.

Driver: I was just trying to keep up with the traffic.

Traffic officer: There isn’t any.

Driver: I know! That’s how far behind I am!

A chap who was told several elderly men were seen repairing shoes in the back of a van responded by saying he thought it was a load of old cobblers.

A driver of a modern car admitted to his friend he realised how bad his driving was when his satellite navigation system said “start slowing down and after 400 metres, do a slight left into a clear place, stop and let me out”.

Showcase

NISSAN F

rom a do-it-yourself Nissan 370Z muscle master to a travelling Nissan Kicks DJ booth, Nissan returns to the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Show in Las Vegas with five diverse offerings.

For the 2018 edition of the world’s premier automotive specialty products trade event, Nissan is showcasing the Nissan 370Z, the all-new Nissan Kicks subcompact SUV and Nissan TITAN full-size pickup – each highly modified for specialty tasks ranging from motorsports to public service.

Here’s an overview of what will be on display at Nissan North America at the Las Vegas Convention Center:

Nissan Project Clubsport 23

Celebrating the iconic Nissna 370Z, the Nissan Project Clubsport 23 is an ongoing parts development platform built with ultimate goal of creating a vehicle that owners could duplicate themselves using Nissan Motorsports or aftermarket parts.

Starting with an older Nissan 370Z NISMO, the original 253kW 3.7 litre VQ37VHR engine was replaced by a factory fresh 3.0 litre VR30DDTT twin-turbo V6 rated at 295kW. Extensive enhancements were made to the suspension, steering, braking and cooling system. Exterior and interior modifications include custom body panels and Gloss Burnt Orange body wrap, along with a full roll cage and diamond-pattern upholstery offering a contemporary throwback to the diamond pattern vinyl used in the original 240Z. Topping off the project are NISMObranded RAYS cast aluminum-alloy 18x10.5-inch wheels and Hankook RS4 285/35R18 high performance tyres.

Chris Forsberg Formula DRIFT 370Z

Three-time Formula DRIFT Champion Chris Forsberg’s instantly recognisable Nissan 370Z takes time off the racing circuit to make an appearance at the Nissan SEMA display.

With a twin-turbo VQ engine tucked under the carbon fiber body panels, this car is the essence of “show and go.”

Nissan Kicks Sound Machine

The Kicks Sound Machine was fabricated at Vehicle Effects in Hollywood. It made its debut at the BET Awards in Los Angeles in July.

The project includes the Kicks’ classexclusive¹ Bose® Personal® Plus sound system with eight speakers and proprietary Bose® signal processing and a pair of lightweight 2.5-inch Bose® UltraNearfield™ neodymium speakers located inside the Kicks’ driver’s seat head rest.

This sound machine on wheels is built off of the all-new Nissan Kicks SR and is powered by a stock 1.6 litre four cylinder engine.

To “Kicks” things up a notch, builders added: Eight Bose Virtually Invisible® 791 speakers, custom built composite panel and speaker housing, three Bose F1 1,000W powered subwoofers, and two Bose RoomMatch Utility RMU206 speakers Hidden speakers revealed by pneumatic

roof panel, with one Bose PowerMatch PM8500 configurable amplifier, one Bose ControlSpace CC-64 controller, and one Bose ControlSpace ESP-880 sound processer with ethernet card Three Bose Panaray® MA12EX loudspeakers Pneumatically-controlled speakers hidden under the vehicle Professional disk jockeying equipment, including articulating rear drawer (reveals DJ controls), one Pioneer DJM-900NXS2 DJ Mixer, two CDJ-2000NXS2 Pro-DJ multi players Custom 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels

Nissan Ultimate Service TITAN

The one-of-a-kind Nissan Ultimate Service TITAN started life as a TITAN XD Diesel Midnight Edition Crew Cab powered by a stock Cummins® 5.0 litre V8 Turbo Diesel engine.

It was transformed into a mobile response unit built to serve in collaboration with the American Red Cross in South Florida.

A B&S Customising Lightweight Bed Box highlights a long list of features included

on this first response vehicle.

From disaster relief efforts to employee blood drives, Nissan’s partnership with the American Red Cross has raised more than $2.5 million in donations over the past five years.

The truck is prepared with the following amenities: With a desk, solar power generator and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, it can serve as a perfect mobile command center for volunteers Equipped with a bed and first aid kit, the vehicle allows first responders to provide on-site care to those injured in an emergency A built-in refrigerator and the vehicle’s rugged-terrain capability allows the TITAN to serve as a blood-supply delivery vehicle that can transport blood to hospitals in need For rescue and relief workers, the TITAN can serve as a place to find shelter, food and a much-needed place to rest between shifts, thanks to the temperature-controlled box that features a resting area, stove, microwave, sink and refrigerator In conjunction with Red Cross Blood Drive efforts, the Ultimate Service TITAN can also serve as a place to give or collect blood donations from the field

PAWS ONE TITAN

Created to assist stranded animals in the wake of disaster, PAWS ONE is a 2018 Nissan TITAN XD Gas PRO-4X animal rescue vehicle making its debut at SEMA. The vehicle was built in collaboration with Animal Rescue Rigs (ARR), a new animal rescue 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to providing support during and after natural disasters.

PAWS ONE is slated for deployment under the name of PAWS TWO in 2019.

Once in service, PAWS TWO is intended to be operated by highly skilled search and rescue staff along with experts trained to operate specialised vehicles.

A match for the Euros

M

idCity is Smartmotion’s new generation update to bring the venerable eCity – NZ’s most popular ebike – into the current era of

mid-drives.

It is a ground-up redesign that achieves its goals.

This is a sophisticated bike that can at least match the Euro rivals, and go a bit faster too.

They’ve done some work on the graphics and colours, and they now look very sharp in four different colour schemes (black, light blue, red and white).

With Smartmotion we are talking about a genuinely “designed in Aotearoa” brand.

This isn’t just a tick the Chinese-manufacturer-checkboxes exercise.

They design and engineer the frame, electronics and all the components uniquely to their specifications.

Smartmotion has backed their longtime motor supplier Dapu to supply the all-new mid-drive.

It is classic Dapu, even sounding similar to the old hub drive.

It has plenty of torque, and will grind its way up steep hills without fuss.

My own driveway is a great test and it cruises up easily if you select the 34T low gear.

Compared with other motor brands it is really compact.

I’ve said about eMTBs that all the motor systems are good enough for their purpose, and I feel that is becoming true about commuter bikes too.

Drive is supported by a 560Wh rearmounted battery.

This bike is a great example of the difference between torque and power.

Torque is acceleration and going up hills, and it does that well.

Power is what allows you to do that fast, which it doesn’t have like say a Bosch CX motor.

Smartmotion has been careful to keep their bikes to the NZ limit of 300W nominal.

But in reality the target market for this bike will be very happy.

It’s not designed for the racers out there.

e-bike reviews are courtesy of NZ Electric Bike Review

E-cyclists also have days like this: “You know, I don’t feel like a workout on this ride, I wish the bike would just do the work for me.”

And for this, Smartmotion have the feature of being able to switch between Torque sensing (“Normal”) and Cadence sensing (“Power”) with a double-click of the Power button.

It means you really can have the best of both worlds. As a differentiator in the market, it’s a really good one.

There is a throttle too.

I did a few rides on this bike.

Firstly around our suburb to find my straying dog, having to go on sealed and gravel paths.

Then down to Hobsonville Pt for some photos.

Apart from some idiot driving straight at me overtaking a truck it was great!

Then I impersonated an Uber Eats rider and got some take-aways, and did a shopping trip to Countdown with loaded panniers (it’s called ‘quaxing’ after the late Dutch-born Councillor Dick Quax who proclaimed that nobody would ever do that).

Other things I really liked were the ride comfort – the front shocks were good and low maintenance being coil springs – and the comfy saddle and suspension seat post carry over from the old eCity.

New are the Schwalbe Big Ben Balloon tyres at 50mm wide on 27.5-inch rims that also add comfort and help ease over cracks in the paving and rough surfaces.

While the xCity is pitched at the mixed road user, there is nothing about the midCity that will prohibit the odd bit of gravel.

One one of my rides I stopped to talk to an older couple, she on an eCity.

“I’ve taken this on the timber trail,” she tells me.

“Stopped riding for 60 years after the age of 16, but for the last four years I’ve been riding everywhere.”

Wonderful.

The brakes are a major improvement.

These are hydraulic and simply fantastic: well modulated and powerful.

The display is useful if a bit ‘generic Chinese ebike’ looking (compared say to the Pacer/Catalyst).

It has two trip modes, just like a modern VW car. One is longer term, the other resets each time you ride the bike.

Handy.

The speed readout is clear and large, suitable for older eyes.

Like xCity, they have spec’d a nice narrow-wide 40T front chainring from sister company Lekkie.

This is vastly improved from previous models including Pacer that had fairly nasty chainrings, and losing your chain or even bending the chainring was a common gripe.

Another “ah that’s better” item is the headset. This one was nice and tight, no wobbles.

Full credit for the lighting – both lights are powered from the battery and the front light is powerful enough to be actually useful at the sorts of speeds you are likely to be doing.

Talking speed, I happily cruised between 30 and 35kph depending on wind direction, and up reasonably steep hills cruised along at around 15-20.

I imagine that for a bit of bling you can specify the row of red LEDs on the rack like the Pacer (personally I don’t think it makes any difference to safety but it does look cool).

There are some minor ‘misses’ on this bike.

The first is that I’d like to see lock-on grips. The ergo-style grips didn’t move about but I suspect that eventually they might. No worries, just fit some at the time.

The frame lock is OK but doesn’t give the option of adding a chain for extra security, so you need a separate chain with its own lock.

You already need two separate keys (one for the lock one for the battery) while the Euro bikes tend to only have one.

A very Special Edition S

ince the reveal of the XK 120 in 1948, sports cars have been integral to Jaguar’s heritage, the culmination of this rich lineage being the F-TYPE- winner of more than 170 global awards.

Now, in celebration of 70 years of Jaguar sports cars, the F-TYPE range has been enhanced by the addition of the Chequered Flag Special Edition.

Based on the F-TYPE R-Dynamic Coupé and Convertible, and available with powerful four- and six-cylinder engines, the Chequered Flag features a range of subtle visual enhancements to the exterior and to the driver-focused “1+1” cabin.

Highlights include a Black Contrast roof on the Coupé and a luxurious Windsor Leather interior featuring Performance seats with embossed headrests, a Dark Brushed Aluminium centre console trim finisher and – in recognition of Jaguar’s motorsport successes – a steering wheel with discrete Chequered Flag logo and red leather band to mark the 12 o’clock position.

It’s time to join the EVolution

W

hy haven’t you joined the EVolution yet?

The EVolution is definitely here!

With 10,248* EVs registered in New Zealand to date and some of the greatest progress being made in the South Island.

Christchurch City Council was one of the first organisations to adopt Yoogo Share for its fleet – a fully electric car sharing service to provide an efficient and clean way for its staff to move throughout the city.

Yoogo Share piloted in Christchurch for both businesses and residents, enabling Cantabrians the opportunity to experience the ‘EV grin’ in an effective form of transport without the upfront or ownership costs of an EV – genius!

The charging network in Christchurch is growing, with the help of Yoogo who are building the network to support their car sharing.

If you’re still not converted to fleet sharing and want to upgrade your ICE (internal combustion engine, or petrol car) to an environmentally friendly, costeffective EV, there are plenty of options.

The most popular and affordable EV is the Nissan Leaf – Auckland’s Hayden Johnston from GVI Electric at August’s EVworld NZ highlighted the importance

of going to a reputable dealer and getting the Leaf Spy report for your Leaf before buying.

There are many Leafs on TradeMe, retailing for as low as $9900 for a 2011 Leaf.

Their battery life is shorter, but they’re great for most trips you’ll be doing around town.

A Nissan Leaf will cost you about $200 in maintenance every year – much cheaper than an ICE car; and will increase in maintenance costs by $6 per annum, the price of a hazelnut latte with an extra shot!

EVworld South is the South Island version of the highly successful EVworld NZ event held in Auckland this past two years.

The show will have a wide range of vehicles on display – including the Hyundai IONIQ and the KONA electric.

Exhibitors include car companies, e-bike retailers, energy companies, charging infrastructure and ride sharing initiatives.

The show will be held at the Air Force Museum in Christchurch on the 23rd of November for trade and fleet and the 24th for the public.

The expo is free to attend and includes seminars to answer any questions you may have.

See the schedule at evworldsouth.nz

The F-TYPE’s exquisite, perfectly-proportioned exterior is enhanced by the Exterior Black Design Pack, which benefits from SVO extended side sills to subtly increase visual width and give the car even greater presence and poise. The 20-inch Gloss Black wheels with Diamond Turned finish are exclusive to the Chequered Flag and perfectly complement the red finish of the brake calipers.

Power comes from the 300PS/400Nm 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine or the 340PS/450Nm and 380PS/ 460Nm supercharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engines.

OUR VIEW

Tenancy law changes commonsense I

t’s no secret that, regardless of where you live, it’s getting harder and harder to make it onto the home ownership ladder.

And that forces growing numbers of people into the rental market, creating greater opportunities for landlords to make a healthy income out of their investment properties.

Many young Kiwis are faced with the prospect of being renters for life and, while that might be common place in many countries where a small number of investors own a large number of properties and long term leases are the norm, that’s not the way it’s done in Godszone.

We’ve been a nation of home buyers.

Generations of young couples looked forward to the day they became home owners.

But not any more.

Many New Zealanders now find it difficult to afford to rent, let alone buy a home.

Let’s not knock the landlords.

Their rental properties play an important role in the housing pool, but while there are plenty with a social conscience who care about their tenants there are as

many who are in it solely to make a bob. And you can’t blame them; rental properties are the investment they hope will fund their retirement.

But rents now carve a huge swathe from weekly pays and often there’s not enough left over to put aside for what has become the Kiwi norm – a four week bond, two weeks rent up front plus a letting fee, usually equal to another week’s rent. For a $400 a week rental that’s a big whack of cash.

As it strives to make it easier for New Zealanders to afford a place to live, the government is working through a raft of law changes that put pressure on landlords to keep properties up to scratch.

They’re also looking at ways to

improve security of tenancy and to remove some of the upfront financial impediments.

Yesterday step one was taken – letting fees will go. The practice has been banned and that means one week’s up front rental saved.

For renters that’s a big win.

Let’s hope other changes pass as smoothly because some of those will make a significant difference in renters lives – limiting rent increases to once a year, increasing the notice period from 42 to 90 days (while retaining the right to evict for justifiable reasons), ending no-cause terminations such as needing the property for themselves or family members, and changes to fixed-term agreements to improve

security of tenure.

The changes might raise the ire of landlords, but the whole rental area needs a massive tidy up because this will be the accommodation future for growing numbers of Kiwis.

A future that does not feature home ownership will require a quantum shift in thinking.

Our mindset is still firmly focused on having our own plot, but for the average couple on the average wage with an average number of children, this will be out of reach.

All of that, however, creates an opportunity for canny property investors to start looking at overseas models to create a housing option that’s the new norm.

Ten years ago: Barack Obama and John McCain uncorked massive get-out-the-vote operations in more than a dozen battleground states the Sunday before Election Day. Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, died in Honolulu at age 86. Paula Radcliffe defended her title at the New York City Marathon to become the second woman to win the race three times; Marilson Gomes dos Santos of Brazil won the men’s race for the second time in three years.

Five years ago: Gunmen abducted and killed French radio journalists Ghislaine Dupont and

Claude Verlon in northern Mali, grabbing the pair as they left the home of a rebel leader.

One year ago: President Donald Trump tapped Jerome Powell to replace Janet Yellen as Federal Reserve chair at the end of her term in February. Authorities in Los Angeles and New York said they had opened new investigations prompted by sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein.

Twitter reported that a customer support worker who was on his or her last day on the job had deactivated President Donald Trump’s Twitter account for a few minutes, resulting in an

error message that said the user “does not exist.”

Sleeping better with a bath S

ome weeks ago I came across an article that suggested Mondays were tough enough without rocking up to work tired and grumpy.

Ok, attention grabbed!

Some Sundays I lie awake for what feels like most of the night, beating myself up about how tired I’m gonna be at 4am.

The article suggested doing everything possible to get a good night’s sleep and hit work energised in the morning.

Energised might be a bit of a stretch, let’s go for not yawning every five minutes.

The two main takeaways from the article for me were – hitting the scratcher nice and early, therefore allowing yourself plenty of time to drift off and hopefully getting seven to eight hours staring at the inside of your eyelids, the other takeaway was a hot bath.

Yes, a nice relaxing hot bath before hitting the hay will set you up for a great night’s sleep.

It’s a great way to cap off the wind-down before sleep and, if you add a cap full of Dettol to

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

the bath, another useless piece of info I’ve gathered from somewhere, you feel really clean afterwards.

It works!

I had a great sleep and woke up feeling refreshed AND CLEAN. Foolishly I didn’t have a bath the night before returning to work, after tacking a few days onto Labour weekend.

I had an awful sleep. Four hours and seventeen minutes according to my sleep tracker.

It’s 4.25am and I’m onto my second coffee when I stumble across another wee gem while I’m prepping my show. It confirms the bath theory and even adds to it.

A hot bath certainly goes a long way toward making you

feel relaxed, but new research has found that taking a warm bath twice a week may also help to relieve symptoms of depression. Even more so than exercise!

Trial subjects were assigned to either soak in a 40°C degree bath for up to 30 minutes twice a week or to take part in two 45-minute sessions of moderately intense aerobic exercise (walking, jogging, stretching and strength training).

They found that those who took regular baths saw a significant improvement in their depression score, a reduction of nearly six points, compared to a three-point improvement for those who exercised.

The researchers suggest that taking warm baths may help those suffering from depression because it changes our circadian rhythm (or body clock) that tells us when to eat and sleep, which is disturbed among people who suffer from depression.

The study results suggests that bathing regularly may be a more effective means of helping to

Newer trailers – cheaper prices

treat depression than exercise.

Regular bathing also improves the mood of those around you, especially if you adopt my Dettol addition.

Could this whole bath thing be further enhanced?

I think so.

How about the addition of a big glass of red wine or craft beer? Not to the bath, to your throat.

I do have one suspicion about the bath making you happier than exercise study.

If I was selected in the group to take a bath instead of going for a run, I’d be a happy camper too.

■ 1.5BN WRITE-OFF

Fonterra report ‘grim reading’ More than $1.5 billion was written-off Fonterra farmers’ balance sheets in the 2018 financial year.

In its annual report, the Fonterra Shareholders’ Council said this was the effect of a 27 per cent fall in the company’s share price and a constrained dividend of 10c a share.

Fonterra’s share price started the year at $6.08, and finished it at $5.12.

The board’s decision to shift 5c/kg milksolids from farmers’ milk price to retentions to ease Fonterra’s “strained gearing position” was effectively a capital contribution to the balance sheet from farmers, said the report, which found Fonterra achieved only one of its key performance measures in 2018 – the farmgate milk price.

Chairman Duncan Coull, delivering his fourth annual message to shareholders, said it had been the most difficult to write.

Fundamental change in thinking and practice was required to reverse the performance of the business, he said.

The council’s role is to be the

voice of Fonterra’s 10,000 farmerowners.

The report said Fonterra’s financial position deteriorated significantly in 2018, with a $598 million increase in net debt and a $440m decrease in equity.

Normalised EBIT declined 22 per cent from $1.1 billion to $902m.

Normalisations included the $232m recall compensation costs awarded to French food giant Danone for Fonterra’s false botu-

placed on market factors and regulatory changes when there were other significant issues known to management and the board.”

Fonterra’s gross margin declined from 17 per cent last year to 15.5 per cent, an effect of the increase in milk price paid to farmers.

Working capital days, how long it took to convert milk into cash, increased by eight days to 83 days.

Each working capital day amounted to $56m in capital invested, so the eight-day increase represented $448m of additional investment, said the council.

Coull said he continued to be optimistic that the co-operative was best-placed to serve current and future shareholders of Fonterra.

“We have the transparency to challenge the parts of the business that need focus.

“Our milk price model will deliver us the highest possible returns from the market place.

“Let’s not waste this moment to regroup, unite and deliver on the promise to be a national champion we can all be proud of.”

olatility continued this week with markets again buffeted by the fears of rising interest rates, global trade disputes and concerns of a possible slowdown in corporate profits.

A cautious tone has gripped markets and resulted in wild swings in both directions across the globe.

Meanwhile, trade tensions remained in focus on reports that the White House is considering more tariffs on Chinese goods

by December, if the next round of negotiations between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping do not end well.

Wednesday marked the end of October and it was a very negative one for global markets.

The major US indexes posted sharp declines. The Dow Jones lost 5.1 per cent, its worst performance since January 2016.

The S&P 500 fell 6.9 per cent, its worst month since September 2011, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq managed to briefly climb out of correction territory, however, still plummeted 9.2 per cent for the month.

Technology stocks have been among the worst performers in October.

This week saw 139 of the S&P 500 companies report.

Notably, Amazon produced another impressive quarterly result.

Momentum across its various business segments remains strong and earnings have continued to soar.

However, all eyes were on management’s fourth quarter guidance, which missed high market expectations, sending the

share price down 7.8 per cent on a volatile trading day.

Amazon shares are off 22 per cent from their highs, but still up 37 per cent year to date.

Back home, the NZX 50 followed the global trend to finish October sharply lower.

The benchmark index fell 6.4 per cent, its worst performance since May 2010.

There were also handful of annual meetings, giving local investors plenty to digest in the way of trading updates and earnings results.

Air New Zealand rallied on the back of its monthly investor update which showed passenger numbers increasing 6 per cent for the year.

Auckland Airport, meanwhile, affirmed earnings guidance, expecting earnings of between $265m-$275m for the 2019 year.

The airport is undergoing major infrastructure upgrades and planning to spend $2bn over the next 10 years.

Tourism Holdings held its AGM on Wednesday and provided guidance for the year ahead which beat market estimates.

Sky TV managed to climb off its lows after the High Court ruled that My Box, an internet streaming service which shows pay-tv programmes of which Sky TV had local rights, was unlaw-

ful. The judge ruled “My Box has deliberately intervened, with full knowledge of its actions to give users access to protected copyright works which they would not otherwise be able to readily access”.

Sky TV is expected to seek millions from My Box, however the hearing is not expected until the new year.

Off the main index, Tilt Renewables released a good result with operating earnings up 36 per cent and declared a final dividend of $1.60.

The company approved the $560m Dundonnell project after securing another offtake agreement for the wind farm in Victoria.

This week saw the release of the ANZ Business Outlook survey for October.

Headline business confidence lifted one point to a net 37 per cent of respondents reporting they expect general business conditions to deteriorate in the year ahead.

Although the figure held steady, it remains near a 10 year low.

The agriculture sector was the most downbeat, followed by retail.

However, construction intentions also dropped sharply, with residential construction intentions dropping to 4.5 per cent from 24.1 per cent in the month prior.

In brief

■ ADDINGTON

Emotional night on track There will be emotion around the stables at Addington tonight when promising mare, Miss You, starts her new campaign.

The Gerard O’Reilly-trained four-year-old will start her season in a strong fillies and mares event on a blockbuster card of racing.

But sadly, one familiar face will not be there to cheer her on.

One of Miss You’s part-owners, Ashburton farmer Bernie Davidson, died last week after a battle with illness.

O’Reilly hopes the mare who gave Davidson so much joy does him proud.

“We’ll have a black armband on this week to pay our respects,” the trainer said said.

“It’s been a pretty sad few days but I know he got a bit of joy out of watching her race.”

Miss You is now raced in the estate of Davidson, his wife Barbara and good friends Mark and Sally Lemon.

Davidson was an active member of the Methven Trotting Club and always held a keen interest in the harness racing scene.

He also raced four-win trotting mare, Anonymiss from O’Reilly’s stable with the Lemons.

Tonight’s resumption will not be an easy task for Miss You and O’Reilly is most definitely not heading into the race feeling overly confident.

However he is expecting a forward performance.

“She’s come back in really well this time, that wee bit of time out has helped her a lot and she feels a lot stronger.

“She’s had two really nice trials to get ready for this week and

Gerard O’Reilly while she will certainly get better with the race under her belt, she’s a live chance this week.”

Miss You is a winner of three of her 14 career starts as well as

placing in five other appearances.

The mare was too strong for a classy trial heat Rangiora last week where she had the better of Stars Tonight, Nakuru, Lady Chatto and Heisenberg.

Tonight will see her taking on some exciting types as well, including Queen Bee Bardon, Bettor’s Heart, De Lancombe and Dizzy Miss Lizzy.

O’Reilly said the main aim early in the campaign was to have the mare in fine fettle for New Zealand Cup Day. The premier meeting is already looking promising for the Rakaia horseman.

He has got feature race drives on Ronald J and also Bettor Getta Lover to get excited about judging by their most recent performances.

■ MOTUKARARA

Tom assigned major weight in cup Gr.3 New Zealand Cup (3200m) aspirant Major Tom will have one more run in the C. S. Stevens Memorial Banks Peninsula Cup (2200m) at Motukarara on Sunday before he contests the twomile Riccarton feature later this month.

The Ken Rae and Krystal Williams-Tuhoro-trained runner has been in strong form of late, winning his last start over 2100m at Ashburton and placing in his two previous starts this spring.

The five-year-old gelding will carry 62.5kg and will jump from the outside barrier in the 10 horse field and his connections are taking a cautious approach into Sunday’s race.

“I’d rather get that draw now than in two weeks’ time,” Rae said.

“He won with 60.5kg (laststart), so he should be competitive with 62.5kg.

“The Banks Peninsula Cup is really just another run for him heading into the New Zealand Cup, that’s why I didn’t claim on the weight.

“I mainly didn’t claim because he can be a tough horse to ride.

“Jasmine Fawcett was going to ride him, but she’s suspended, so I left Sam Collett on and at this stage she is riding him in the New Zealand Cup.” Rae said he was initially not going to bring Major Tom south, but after placing behind He’s Cavalier in the Ruakaka Cup (2200m) he was convinced by Michael Pitman and Noel Harris to aim him towards the New Zealand Cup. “He has actually been in work right through winter,” Rae said.

“He wasn’t going to come down.

“When he ran third behind He’s Cavalier, I thought the other horse wasn’t that good.

Kiwis for the Cup Evergreen New Zealand-bred and owned stayer Who Shot Thebarman will be contesting the Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) for a fourth time next Tuesday, while a number of his compatriots will be relying on results from Saturday to make the 24 horse field. Sir Charles Road all but secured his spot after placing in the Bendigo Cup on Wednesday, leapfrogging Zacada into 23rd spot in order of entry. While Zacada currently remains within the starting line-up, the Sydney Cup runner-up’s spot could be taken by the winner of the Lexus Stakes or Thinkin’ Big, who will contest the Gr.1 VRC Derby.

Andoyas to back up The Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott-trained Andoyas will take his place in a Rating 82 Benchmark 1550m at Awapuni tomorrow, just a week after a barrier incident at Ellerslie. The former Hong Kong galloper blundered when leaving the barriers last Saturday, making heavy contact with the gates and was subsequently pulled up when rider Opie Bosson was injured.

“He came through with no problem at all,” Lance O’Sullivan said.

Winner for Showcasing Former Haunui Farm shuttle stallion Showcasing was represented by Gr.3 Prix Miesque (1400m) winner Devant in France on Wednesday.

The two-year-old filly was last seen winning at Caron and was runner-up in the Gr.3 Prix Six Perfections (1400m) in July, but this was her first stakes success on her fourth start and she became the 31st stakes winner for her sire Showcasing. Showcasing stood at Haunui Farm for six seasons but from the beginning of this year will be permanently domiciled in the northern hemisphere due to popular demand.

$154.9 million profit The New Zealand Racing Board has announced an operating profit result of $154.9 million for the year ending 31 July 2018, up $6.9 million (4.7 per cent) on last year. Including the investment in its strategic initiatives, reported net profit was $145.9 million, $1.9 million (1.3 per cent) ahead of last year, despite the delay in Racefields legislation which was budgeted to provide more than $4.9 million to racing.

Full Noise returning

Major Tom will have a run at Motukarara on Sunday as his NZ Cup preparation continues.

“But he’s come out and won on Wednesday and placed in a stakes race, so it’s better than I thought it was.

“Michael Pitman and Noel Harris did and talked me into it.

“Pitman told me to definitely bring him down and he knows more about South Island racing than anybody.”

Rae has taken six other horses south for the New Zealand Cup carnival, including Kaharau and Prom Queen, and he said they have all settled in well at their Prebbleton base.

“Prom Queen is going straight to the Stewards and she is probably going to get in on the minimum weight,” Rae said.

“Kaharau is going to the middle day (of the New Zealand Cup carnival) over 2000m.

“He’s come back good as gold, but the other day (when he ran sixth at the Ashburton meeting) the race wasn’t run to suit him, he just couldn’t sprint with that big weight aboard (60kg).”

- NZME

When the Full Noise won on debut as two-year-old in May and beat older horses trainer Brett Gray described him as ‘a dream’ horse.

And he hasn’t changed his mind.

The three-year-old trotting gelding went on to run second to Enhance Your Calm in the juvenile Ruby at his next start, against the odds.

“He was crook, had a snotty nose and only three days work the week of the Jewels,” Gray said. “He did really well to do what he did.” Full Noise has had about eight weeks back as a three-year-old and Gray hasn’t noticed any changes. “He was perfect last year and is still perfect,” he said. “I have some nice young trotters but nothing to compare with him. I won’t hurry him, the good three-year-old races aren’t till later in the season.- NZME

STILL SERVING IT UP

In brief Djokovic reclaims No.1 Novak Djokovic will be ranked world No.1 next week for the first time in two years after Rafael Nadal’s withdrawal from the Paris Masters. Serbian Djokovic lost his top ranking to Andy Murray after the 2016 ATP Masters 1000 event in the French capital but has fought his way back to the summit this year. The 31-year-old struggled to come back from a lingering elbow injury with his ranking plummeting to No.22. Djokovic turned his form around, winning four of the past five tournaments he has entered, including Wimbledon and the US Open. - PA

Raiders eye Johnson Canberra players believe Shaun Johnson would be a good fit for the NRL club if the Raiders were to sign the Warriors halfback.

The Raiders – who have a lack of depth in the halves – are set to make a move on the Kiwis No.7 to land him as early as next year, according to News Corp Australia.

“He’s a Golden Boot winner, he would be handy at any club ... We only have the two halves here at the moment with Ata (Hingano) going down, so any depth is good depth,” Raiders captain Jarrod Croker said.

Seibold confirmed Unlike other Brisbane greats, Willie Carne has backed Anthony Seibold as the Broncos’ next coach after favourite son Kevin Walters was officially overlooked as Wayne Bennett’s successor. Ending months of speculation, Brisbane have finally confirmed South Sydney mentor Seibold would be their new coach in 2020. Brisbane said Bennett, 68, would see out his Broncos contract next year before taking up a two-season South Sydney offer in 2020, dismissing talk of a 2019 swap with Seibold.

STEVE.D@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Celtic Squash Club is celebrating a big occasion this weekend – the club has now been around for 40 years.

It was in 1978 that a few members of the Celtic Rugby Football Club figured that a squash court might be helpful for the rugby players’ fitness development.

It was an inspired thought on the part of the likes of Alan Grieve and Cyril Cousins, with support from the president of the day Don Summerfield, as the game had yet to take off nationally when Susan Devoy dominated the courts of the world in the 1980s.

There were thoughts in some quarters that it was too bold a move, coming only a few short years since the club had jumped right in the deep end and built itself brand new clubrooms, replacing the little green-andwhite house that had served the club so well for many years.

But, as is often the case, audacious was the way to go, and Celtic became the first club in the district to boast squash courts, after many years when the Ashburton club was the only place in town to play the game.

With a bit of a push from the squash-minded fraternity, the original one court suddenly became two, and at a special meet-

Ian Dolden, the veteran of the Celtic Squash Club, serves during his match with Eelke Dijkstra during the club’s summer league competition on Wednesday night.

PHOTO HEATHER MACKENZIE 311018-HM-0074

ing the first squash club committee was voted in.

John Davidson was the inaugural club president, with Alan Davidson the first secretary/ treasurer, with the committee consisting of Cyril Cousins, Stephen Devereux, Ian Dolden, Barrie Gilligan, Barry Hansen, Barry McCloy, Heather McLaren, Gerald Small, Lyn Small, Jim Small, Kay Walsh and Bruce Whelan.

The courts that committee were handed were just that: courts (with tiny changing facilities downstairs, designed for a single court).

The upstairs area was a completely blank canvas from the windows to the edge of the courts, and that committee set about creating the successful club that we see there today.

The subs for the first year were $15 per player, and the first club championships saw Murray Arnst emerge as men’s champion, while Lyn Small took the ladies’ title.

Jane Stratford and Shayne Jones took the junior titles.

It wasn’t long before there was a major revamp of the downstairs area, financed by many fundraising activities which were always well supported – at one stage in

the early years the membership had soared to well over 400, so there was plenty of manpower to call on.

Vastly improved facilities meant that tournaments were easier to hold, and there were three big tournaments a year in the early years.

The entry fee for the first tournament was the princely sum of $1, and one F grade tournament in the early 80s garnered over 160 entries, meaning every court in town was utilised, from the Thursday night right through to Sunday evening finals.

Since those halcyon days, the club has been like all the other clubs which sprang up in the district and ridden the highs and lows of the game, including being a leading part of Mid Canterbury Squash’s break with the national body around 20 years ago, and equally a leading part of the reunification with that body.

The club has always been a strong contender in the ultracompetitive interclub competition in most grades, with a regular addition of pennants on the wall in every grade, and while this year the squash club couldn’t quite match the glorious deeds of the rugby and netball teams,

there is nothing surer than the players will be keen to make amends next season.

The honours board has seen some interesting developments over the years, with Gary Stratford winning the men’s championship in 1981, and holding the title for a staggering 21 years, except for 1995 when young John McDonnell produced the game of his life to take the honours.

The club has progressed greatly over the years, both on and off the court, and current president Ed Harrison said that the installation of gas heating for the showers this year was just one example of the club continuing to improve its facilities. That followed a completely new bar-kitchen area being installed a few years ago, and the installation of heat pumps throughout the courts and lounge area; both projects the result of massive input from members both current and past.

The club is in very good shape, Harrison said, and is looking forward to the 50th anniversary with great confidence.

There is a dinner being held at the Hotel Ashburton tonight, where around 100 old and new members will be reminiscing about days gone by.

Xterra race ‘super tough’

By Erin TaskEr

ing the mud the whole way, having to stop many times to clear the mud from my frame so that my wheels would actually spin,” Clough said.

The run leg was slippery, but Clough was pleased with how it went overall.

Clough described the race as super tough and said it was a long day at the office, but he was happy knowing he’d left it all out there.

The Xterra World Championships are like an off-road triathlon, with the road bike switched out for a mountain bike and the road run exchanged for a crosscountry run.

Earlier this year Clough travelled to Denmark to compete at the ITU Multisport World Championships.

In Denmark Clough, 17 at the time, won silver in the under-19 aquathlon and silver in the 18-19 year age group in the cross triathlon.

Ashburton multisporter Matthew Clough has finished ninth in his age group at the 2018 Xterra World Championships in Maui, Hawaii.

The 18-year-old Ashburton College student lined up at the start of the race earlier this week in what has been described as some of the muddiest, dirtiest conditions in the event’s 23-year history.

Given what competitors faced, Clough said he was pleased with his result of ninth overall in the 15-19-year-old section.

“Just getting to the finish line was a massive achievement in itself,” he said.

He crossed the finish line in a time of 4.14.32 hours, after completing the swim leg in 24.01 minutes, the bike leg in 2.40.38 hours and the run leg in 1.09.53 hours.

“I had a decent swim, out of the water fourth, a tough bike fight-

Development key for ballers

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

With their season done and dusted, the focus has now turned to 2019 for Ashburton College’s young basketballers.

They will be holding a sevenweek summer development training programme, where they will be inviting a group of Year 8 students to come along and train alongside the current crop

of Ashburton College basketballers.

Mark Douglas, who coached this year’s Ashburton College senior girls’ side in the Canterbury secondary schools’ Whelan Trophy competition, said it was a great opportunity and youngsters were making the most of it, particularly for the boys’ sessions.

“As well as developing their

skills it is also a great opportunity to train among older athletes and learn from them,” Douglas said.

“It also has the added benefit that there are some familiar faces when they arrive to start college, and know their way around the college gym.

“The kids are exposed to different drills and skills and to keep it fresh there is a different head

coach running each week.”

The sessions are held at the Ashburton College gym on Wednesday nights, with the girls’ session running from 5.30pm until 7pm and the boys following from 7pm until 8.30pm.

The summer development programme has already been running for two weeks and will continue to run through until December 5.

The Black Caps have butchered a glorious chance to open their season with a statement victory.

Chasing 149 for victory against Pakistan in their opening Twenty20 clash in the United Arab Emirates, the Black Caps were superbly poised at 79-1 with 8.3 overs remaining.

Then, the wheels fell off.

Colin Munro’s dismissal started a slide, and Pakistan displayed why they are the world’s best exponents in the shortest format, storming back to claim their 27th victory in their last 31 T20 games.

Their eventual margin of victory – two runs – overstates how close the result was, with the Black Caps having twice had dominant positions overturned by the wily Pakistanis.

In their first match under new coach Gary Stead, and first after a seven month hiatus, the Black Caps made a stellar start, leaving Pakistan scrambling at 14-2 after four overs.

Adam Milne and Tim Southee were varying their pace smartly, Ajaz Patel took his first international wicket on debut, and when Ish Sodhi’s restrictive spin entered the fray, Pakistan were struggling to maintain a worthy pace.

New Zealand’s fielding was a big reason for that.

Glenn Phillips, Corey Anderson and Southee all claimed stellar catches as they regained ascendancy, but just as it looked as if Pakistan would fall well short of a competitive total, Faheem Ashraf and Imad Wasim blasted 20 off the last seven deliveries to muster 148-6.

With eight wickets in hand and big hitters waiting in the sheds, an aggressive approach was needed, but first Kane Williamson (11 off 16), and then Corey Anderson (9 off 12), proved wholly ineffective against the Pakistani spinners.

In the end, late blows from Taylor and Southee were a microcosm of the match – good, but not quite good enough.

■ RUGBY

In brief

Fresh faces for Japan

By Patrick Mckendry Starting centre Matt Proctor and flanker Dalton Papalii will make their All Black test debuts against Japan in Tokyo, with six of the eight reserves also in line to win their first caps.

They will inevitably be tagged as All Black second-stringers, but not all of the match-day 23 fall into that category and it will be a memorable occasion for all the newcomers, who include prop Tyrel Lomax, loose forwards Dillon Hunt and Gareth Evans, and backs Mitchell Drummond, Brett Cameron and George Bridge, all of whom have been named on the bench, but also starting hooker Dane Coles, who will make a welcome return from injury.

It will be Coles’ first test since November last year and, after limited minutes over two games for Wellington recently, he will wear the No. 2 jersey with the hope of lasting up to 50 minutes before giving way to Liam Coltman.

Coles’ return after his nightmare 18 months of concussion problems and a knee injury will be welcomed by the All Blacks coaches and also Codie Taylor, the incumbent who has borne the brunt of the workload in his absence.

No 8 Luke Whitelock has been named skipper.

There are returns too for outside backs Jordie Barrett, Nehe Milner-Skudder and Waisake Naholo, with Richie Mo’unga directing operations in the No. 10 jersey, a clear sign that Damian McKenzie will start at fullback against England at Twickenham a week later.

The top-line All Blacks have already left for London in preparation for that highly-anticipated test but Mo’unga is a good chance to be named on the bench to play back-up to Beauden Barrett.

Auckland loose forward Papalii wasn’t available for his triumphant team’s Mitre 10 Cup semifinal or final and will hope to make the most of his opportunity against the Cherry Blossoms who are coached by former All Black blindside flanker Jamie Joseph.

Ashburton Guardian 35

All Blacks targeted Sam Whitelock and Nehe Milner Skudder are believed to be close to signing deals with French club Toulon according to reports.

French outlet RMC sport are reporting the All Blacks’ duo along with South African lock Eben Etzebeth are in discussions to join the club after next year’s World Cup. Milner-Skudder’s current deal with New Zealand Rugby come to an end following the World Cup. Milner-Skudder has struggled with a string of injuries since starring in the 2015 World Cup. - NZME

Munster – 40 years on It’s 40 years since the All Blacks suffered one of their most shocking defeats, a 12-0 loss to Irish club side Munster during the 1978 grand slam tour. The first Grand Slam-winning side were expected to breeze past Munster.

However the pack led by captain Graham Mourie and lock Andy Haden, was smashed in front of a Limerick crowd at fever pitch.

Christy Cantillon scored the only try. The All Blacks replied with exactly nothing, prompting Stuart Wilson’s famous “We were lucky to get nil’’ quote.

- NZME

The price of support Luke Whitelock will once again become an All Blacks captain.

Papalii, tall for a New Zealand No 7 at 1.93m, has been a standout this season with his powerful defending and ball-carrying and the All Blacks coaches will expect more of the same from him and the rest of the team which has a mobile look about it.

They will seek to play a highimpact but also high-tempo game, with Jackson Hemopo drafted into the second row alongside Patrick Tuipulotu due to the injury suffered by lock Luke Romano in last weekend’s Mitre 10 Cup premiership final at Eden Park.

There is no lock cover on the bench, with Hunt and Evans likely to up the tempo in the second half if and when they get the opportunity.

There is potential for blindside flanker Vaea Fifita to move to lock if necessary.

There should be as much interest in the performances of those more senior players who have slipped slightly in terms of their positions in Steve Hansen’s top line-up, and they include right

wing Milner-Skudder and left wing Naholo.

With Hansen showing a preference for McKenzie at fullback and Ben Smith and Rieko Ioane on the wings in big tests, the pair have a bit of ground to make up.

Milner-Skudder has played only one test this year – against Argentina in Nelson – after his return from a shoulder problem, while Naholo has been injury free and hasn’t done too much wrong.

Proctor will form a potentially high-impact unit in the midfield with fellow Hurricane Ngani Laumape.

For Jordie Barrett, another Hurricane, the test is his first opportunity to put his high-profile quick throw-in mistake against the Boks in Wellington behind him.

Apart from the injured Romano, the other unlucky All Blacks are hooker Asafo Aumua, prop Reuben O’Neill, halfback Bryn Hall and fullback David Havili, a quartet who made the trip to Japan and trained but will not play.

ALL BLACKS All Blacks team to play Japan at the Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo on Saturday, kick-off 6.45pm is: 15. Jordie Barrett 14. Nehe Milner-Skudder 13. Matt Proctor 12. Ngani Laumape 11. Waisake Naholo 10. Richie Mo’unga 9. Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi 8. Luke Whitelock © 7. Dalton Papalii 6. Vaea Fifita 5. Jackson Hemopo 4. Patrick Tuipulotu 3. Angus Ta’avao 2. Dane Coles 1. Ofa Tuungafasi Reserves: Liam Coltman, Tim Perry, Tyrel Lomax, Dillon Hunt, Gareth Evans, Mitchell Drummond, Brett Cameron, George Bridge.

To get the best of the best in All Blacks supporters’ gear has usually come with a hefty price tag.

Their new jersey will be no different. The new design, which was revealed this week, will have two styles available for fans to get their hands on, ranging from $150 up to $200. The performance fit replica will set fans back at the higher end of the scale, while the regular fit clocks in at a slightly cheaper price – $150 for men with the women’s fit at $120. For the first time, the All Blacks jerseys will be sold in sizes up to 5XL. - NZME

Title winner misses out Heiden Bedwell-Curtis’ name was missing from the reigning champions’ 2019 squad when coach Scott Robertson unveiled it in Christchurch this week, with the loose forward instead included in the Hurricanes. The 27-year-old started the 2018 Super Rugby final in August, filling in for the injured Jordan Taufua and helping the red and blacks notch their ninth title.

Bedwell-Curtis missed out after the Crusaders re-signed Ethan Blackadder through to 2021 in October.

■ MOTOR RACING

McLaughlin, SVG to light up Pukekohe There will be 26 runners at Pukekohe Park this weekend in the second-to-last Supercars meet of the season but all eyes will be on two drivers; both Kiwis.

Scott McLauglin and Shane van Gisbergen are the title contenders and both are preparing for a furious fight.

“It’s going to be on,” McLaughlin says.

The DJR Team Penske man is on top after turning the tables on his Red Bull Holden Racing Team

rival in the sole race at the Gold Coast a fortnight ago.

His fifth-placed finish, behind winners Chaz Mostert and James Moffat, puts the 25-year-old on top of the standings by 14 points.

Van Gisbergen, who appeared to have been running away with the title before the Enduro series with seven consecutive top-two finishes, underwhelmed at Bathurst and finished 10th at Surfers Paradise.

With a maximum of 600 points

left to win this season, the pair are the only realistic title shots.

Third-placed Jamie Whincup has conceded his hopes of winning an eighth championship and retaining last year’s crown, sitting 433 points back.

Craig Lowndes, in fourth, is the only other mathematical contender.

However, the Triple Eight pair would both need multiple DNFs to come into contention.

And so the focus is firmly on

McLaughlin and Van Gisbergen with just four races left.

McLaughlin might be especially feeling the heat given he lead into the season’s final race last year only to see Whincup claim the crown on a dramatic day in Newcastle.

He said he knew what was coming.

“We know how Shane drives, we know that he’s a very hard racer and at the end of the day, that’s what it’s going to be,” McLaughlin

told the Supercars website yesterday.

“We’re going to be pushing each other hard, both sides.

“I’m looking forward to the battle, what will be will be.

“I feel like I’m a lot more mature and ready to go for these last two rounds than I ever have been.”

McLaughlin said he’d be relying on his team and garage-mate Fabian Coulthard for every advantage for the crunch meet in New Zealand.

■ ATHLETICS

TRADES, SERVICES

Cup on the line Young athletes from around Mid and South Canterbury will converge on Ashburton on Sunday to battle it out for the Arthur Cup. Donated by Sir Basil Arthur 53 years ago, the Arthur Cup was about fostering young athletic talent in the Ashburton, Temuka, Waimate and Geraldine areas, and many an athlete who had competed in years gone by had gone on to have a bright athletic future.

This weekend it’s the turn of the latest crop of youngsters, with the Ashburton Athletics Club set to host this year’s running of the competition at the Ashburton Domain Oval.

The Rakaia Cup, which began in 2015 between clubs from Ashburton and Selwyn, would also be up for grabs on the day.

On the day athletes pick up points for finishing first, second and third in events, which go towards their club’s overall total, and the club with the most points at the end of the day wins.

Bad weather this week gave organisers a little bit of a headache, wondering whether the rain would make it too wet underfoot for the competition to go ahead.

A decision would be made on Saturday as to whether the conditions would allow it to be run.

■ BASKETBALL

Rose hits the 50-point mark Derrick Rose has scored a career-high 50 points to lift the undermanned Minnesota Timberwolves to a 128-125 NBA win over the Utah Jazz yesterday.

Rose was in tears after the game as he walked off the court serenaded by chants of MVP! MVP! from the home crowd.

The 30-year-old point guard has been derailed by injuries since he was the 2011 NBA MVP. In his first start of the season in the absence of Jimmy Butler and Jeff Teague, Rose had 34 points in the second half and 15 in a tightly-contested fourth quarter.

Donovan Mitchell top scored for the Jazz with 26 points.

Butler, who requested a trade pre-season, sat out with what the Timberwolves described as “general soreness.”

Nikola Jokic had 22 points and 12 rebounds but it was Paul Millsap’s put back with 0.1 seconds left in overtime that gave the Denver Nuggets a 108-107 victory over the Chicago Bulls.

The Nuggets improved to 6-1 while Zach LaVine had 28 points for the 2-6 Chicago.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): To distinguish a face from all other faces is a human talent that goes back to our more primitive days. If only names were as easy to remember! That memorisation will take effort and will pay off handsomely today.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Though it certainly helps to believe you can do something before you embark, it isn’t necessary. So if you’re having a crisis of faith, ignore it and take the next step. The steps get you there, not the faith.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Love what you do, and you’ll do great work effortlessly. If you don’t love it, you’ll force yourself to do great work anyway.

That’s how character is built, which is also a benefit to both you and the world.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You know what it’s like to want something that isn’t a good fit for you. Seeing someone else with what you once wanted will be an eye-opening experience that makes you glad for the way things turned out.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’re naturally influential today.

Even your most mild-mannered expressions will be powerful enough to get people to go with your ideas, follow your lead and generally give you the room to do as you please.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The more you want to accomplish something, the less it will feel like work. The struggle ceases to be a struggle; it’s just what needs to happen to get where you want to go.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Find out who has the power to greenlight your project before you waste time pitching to the wrong person. “Never allow a person to tell you no that doesn’t have the power to say yes.” – Eleanor Roosevelt SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): “It takes one to know one” applies today. For instance, you’d almost have to slip into an unkind state to decide someone else is being unkind. Also, you know when you’re loved because you’re loving.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’re brave. You stay awake to what you’re doing instead of burying your head in the sand like the ostrich myth. Maybe you can’t always control your behaviour, but you’re aware of it.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): When you feel emotionally out on a limb, don’t ask anyone else to join you there. The branch could break. Make your way to the trunk, shimmy down and touch the roots.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Hearing the words “I love you” from one you hold dear may or may not give you a sense of security. The thing to work on is loving yourself – a much more dependable source of security.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): No stone gets polished smooth without friction. You’ll put muscle into that today. Push through resistance to knock off the grime and get to the lustre.

RARING TO GO

Members of the Mid Canterbury Rugby sevens squad work on their fitness ahead of what it’s hoped will be a busy couple of months ahead.

Fitness was the key for the members of the Mid Canterbury sevens squad this week as they continued their build-up to next month’s South Island Sevens tournament in Timaru.

A squad has been training together for a while now, and a team has been sent to a couple of tournaments as part of the build-up to the earlier-than-usual season.

The South Island qualifying tournament was being held in Timaru on December 2, with the nationals – which had in the past been held in the New Year – being held in Rotorua two weeks later.

Mid Canterbury qualified for the nationals last season.

As part of the build up to that potentially busy couple of weeks, the Mid Canterbury side played in the recent Canterbury Rugby Spring Sevens tournament.

It was run over three weekends and after finishing runners-up in the first one, Mid Canterbury fielded a team featuring six new players in the third tournament last weekend.

Among the new players were some who had featured in the Heartland Championship, who had come into the squad after Mid Canterbury’s Heartland 15-a-side campaign came to an end in the Lochore Cup semi-finals.

At that latest appearance at the Spring Sevens tourney, the Mid Canterbury boys made the Cup section, but were unable to produce the form they did at the early tournament, failing to make the final.

Mid Canterbury Rugby Union chief executive Ian Patterson, who was looking after the team, said they now had a couple of weeks to cast the net again to see who else wanted to try out for the main

phase of the representative sevens season.

He said the next fortnight would be about concentrating on fitness before convening a squad to play in a pre-season mini tournament in Methven – against Canterbury and South Canterbury – on November 24.

They’d then play in another tournament in Oamaru as their final hit out before the South Islands.

Symonds launches into Cricket Australia review The Cricket Australia review has set off an uncontrollable locomotive of bad press for Australian cricket as retired players bounce out of the woodwork to slam their former employer.

To say the damning Longstaff report – a 145-page investigation published in an effort to fix Aussie cricket’s “arrogant” cricket cul-

ture — has divided opinion in the sporting world would be a gross understatement.

Some believe the infamous “win at all costs” culture referenced in the review needs to be torn down, while others maintained it was those four words that propelled the baggy green to its world-beating best.

Recommendations to pick players based on character were immediately blasted by Allan Border, who shot down the review in classical Captain Grumpy fashion: “Isn’t it about winning?”

Then Andrew Symonds went for the jugular.

The former Aussie all-rounder bluntly took down what he be-

lieves to be the biggest problem facing Australia in an interview with The Telegraph’s Ben Horne.

“As a kid growing up, you wanted to play test cricket. That hunger, I believe is gone,” Symonds said, citing the growing number of cricketers content with playing limited overs cricket their entire career.

“Not from all players, but from some. They’re happy to go around the world and just play white ball cricket and that, to me, is extraordinary.”

Symonds said the claim CA was going to be more transparent with players was “the biggest load of horse s*** you’ve ever heard in your life”.
