New civic centre project ramps up BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

IN TODAY’S GUARDIAN

A giant step has been taken in a project that will see Ashburton’s new civic centre and library built in Baring Square east. For several weeks the Ashburton District Council has been in negotiations with the Methodist Church and a private land owner to secure the two properties it needed for the new complex. This will be a co-build, bringing both facilities under one roof. Council business services manager Paul Brake confirmed yesterday the council was now well advanced with the deal, with conditional sale and purchase agreements signed. Two of the properties are owned by

the church but exclude the church itself and the other one is 243 Havelock Street. Land owned by the council, currently home to the old county council building and another Havelock Street site are also in the mix. “An additional property at 255 Havelock Street has recently come on the market and the council considered it opportune to buy this to assist in the future-proofing of the development, Brake said. The council has an unconditional purchase agreement on this property. It will continue to be leased to current tenants but in the future will need significant earthquake strengthening if it is to be retained, he said. Planning for a new civic building has

been in the council’s long term plan for several years, but the process gained momentum last year with several rounds of community consultation over site options. Baring Square east was the number one choice of consultants Opus after a site ranking process that narrowed options down to three locations. Last year the council renovated the upper level of the old county council building to create a new meeting chamber and meeting rooms to allow staff offices to be built in the Baring Square west civic building’s meeting rooms.

New civic centre project ramps up

Tony Todd addresses the crowd gathered to protest the closure of the Ashburton i-SITE.

Mayor did not consult community – Todd By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The signs might be down and the doors locked but Ashburton i-SITE campaigner Tony Todd is determined to continue fighting for the centre to reopen. He’s challenged mayor Donna Favel on her statement that the public was consulted during the closure process, saying this was clearly not the case. Consultation with staff does not add up to community consultation, Todd said. “I believe what happened was that the Experience Mid Canterbury Board requested feedback from the staff but not the community. The mayor’s on record as saying the community had the opportunity to put in submissions on the proposed closures.” There were no notices in the

media requesting submissions on the proposed closure and no clear public process that was followed, he said. Todd said he had contacted Favel asking for an explanation and was told that a petition was started in Methven and later in Ashburton, but that was not public consultation by any stretch of the imagination, he said. That explanation came in a statement from the mayor that read: “The media release did state staff, but that did not exclude public from responding, as we saw in Methven. In Methven, Mr Viv Barrett, took it on himself to collect signatures and lobby EMC to retain Methven i-SITE. I have directed this onto James Urquhart, chairman of Experience Mid Canterbury. James is

much closer to this issue than I am …” That definition of public consultation was not an appropriate answer, it was simply kicking for touch, Todd said. Since the i-SITE closed its doors about six weeks ago, staff in his store have fielded regular inquiries from people wanting information that was previously provided at the centre, he said. “They’re coming into the shop angry that the centre’s not open and there are often people standing outside wondering what’s going on.” With the i-SITE closed, the Ashburton Library has become the town’s information base, with a display space set up immediately inside the library. Just days into its new role, district librarian Jill Watson said

there had only been a small number of visitors seeking information about the district but she anticipated this would grow. Staff plan to make up information packs that will be made available to visitors outlining the activities and attractions that could be visited by people with just a few hours to spend. “We could possibly do with a bit of training on local things and what people will mostly want to do while they’re here,” she said. And Experience Mid Canterbury is keen to provide that training, said general manager Bruce Moffat. Training for library staff, along with new signage directing tourists to the library were on the todo list as part of the changed way of providing visitor information, he said.

From P1 “These new facilities are desperately needed to improve the experience of residents and staff visiting and working in our library and council administration buildings and these property purchases represent a milestone for this important council project,” Brake said. With the sale and purchase agreements signed the council would shortly move into stage two of the project where a project manager would be employed, architects appointed and design work started, he said. “We’ll now be moving forward as though we’ve got unconditional sales and with the best will in the world we could see construction from 2019 onwards.” Before work started there would be significant work needed in the deconstruction of the old county council building. While the intention was to demolish this building, if an architect wanted to work the retention of its façade into the plan that could be considered. The new complex design would be sympathetic to its church neighbour, he said. Including 255 Havelock Street, the civic centre and library site will cover 6000 square metres creating significant design options as well as future-proofing the project. For the Methodist Church, property committee chairman Ken Leadley said the church was pleased with the progress made on the land deal. “We’re now looking at the potential of completing a deal but it still has to go to the parish and the connexional council for sign off,” he said. The process to date was favourable towards what the future of the church would be, Leadley said. It is likely the church will use the proceeds of the land sale to restore, renovate and earthquake strengthen the church.

Clocking up the years together BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ian and Alan Neumann might have been born into the family’s tyre business, but for their workmates Bruce and Richard Bensdorp it’s been their trade of choice for more than 75 years and they couldn’t be happier. And while the two sets of brothers are officially bosses and employees, the Bensdorp brothers say there’s no real demarcation lines. The bosses and the boys work together in what they describe as the ultimate family business. Bruce joined the company 42 years ago after a stint as a welder. He came to fill in for six weeks and forgot to leave. That was a great decision, he said. It was such a good place to work that when younger brother Richard was about to leave school he had no hesitation in encouraging him to sign on too. Richard started off as the afterschool boy. “Six months later Ian and Alan’s dad asked Bruce if his brother had a job when he finished school. ‘If he hasn’t we’ll sign him on’,” he said. That was 36 years ago and the pair have never given a thought to changing jobs. They’ve seen their industry change as tools have changed, but the basics of fitting tyres and repairing tyres hasn’t changed. And neither has the culture in the company. It’s a family atmosphere all round, the pair said. “It’s still physical work, it’s still

Drug bust accused named Name suppression has been lifted for four men arrested following New Zealand’s largest cocaine bust. Benjamin Northway, 35, Matthew Scott, 44, Mario Habulin, 45, and Deni Cavallo, 46, appeared before Judge Edwin Paul in the Tauranga District Court yesterday. The men faced various charg-

es relating to importing cocaine into New Zealand and possessing the drug for supply. They were arrested following the seizure of $20m worth of cocaine in Tauranga on Wednesday. Judge Paul lifted name suppression for the men and expected pleas to be entered on December 4. He also ordered a German-

speaking interpreter to appear on behalf of Cavallo. The four men will be remanded in custody until December 4 for a hearing to determine whether the charges will be transferred to Auckland. The men were arrested after 46 kilograms of cocaine with a street value of $20m was seized. - NZME

more than seven decades with the company but they say they’re not the only long servers. Most on the payroll are long stayers. Both hope they’ll hit 50 years on the payroll. And if staff are sticking with the one employer for decades, so too

are customers, Bruce said. “We’re now working with third generation customers. It’s great to see the same customers and families coming back, there’s a lot of loyalty in the community,” Richard said.

Car engulfed in flames BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Emergency services flocked to an incident in Chertsey on Wednesday evening in which a car was engulfed in flames on the side of the road. The car was spotted burning beside Chertsey Road at around 8.40pm, and members of the Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade rushed to the scene. Rakaia fire chief Tyrone Burrowes said by the time volun-

teers arrived, there was little they could do to salvage the vehicle. “We just had to put the flames out,” he said. “The car was totalled.” Burrowes said with no clear reason for the fire to have started, the fire was initially treated as suspicious. However, police said in a statement yesterday afternoon that after enquiries were made into the incident, it was established it wasn’t suspicious.

New air plan launched By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It’s taken years of work and it’s been through a robust consultation process but Canterbury’s new air plan is now the guiding document for any activity involving discharging contaminants into the air. The new plan, which aims to improve Canterbury’s air quality, is now operative. The Air Plan aims to improve air quality by managing discharges into air from home heating, industry, outdoor burning, and farming activities. For the Ashburton District the two major impacts of the new air plan and its successor have been

on home heating and on crop residue burning. Since the first air plan became operative, Ashburton homeowners have worked through a process of replacing hundreds of home log fires older than 15 years with new, low emission burners. The deadline for obtaining a permit for replacement burners has now passed and the Ashburton District Council has a backlog of 250 consents to process. Ashburton, however, leads the way in Canterbury in the number of low pollution nights. Since 2005, the number of 24 hour periods when the pollution benchmark was breached have reduced from a high of 28 in 2006 to a low

of just one in 2015. Last year there were two high pollution days and this year there were three. National clean air standards require an air shed to have no more than one breach a year. Across all of Canterbury over the same period the number of high pollution days has dropped from 130 in 2008 to 45 this year. The results show the region was moving in the right direction, said Environment Canterbury councillor Peter Scott. “We are confident this Air Plan will help us see further progress in all Canterbury’s clean air zones over time.” ECan acknowledged that some

elements of the plan, particularly around home heating had not been easy, he said. Discharging contaminants into Ashburton’s clean air zone on sites of less than two hectares is prohibited from an open fire and from log burners older than 15 years. All burners must now be low emission. The air plan’s rules around crop residue burning remains a permitted activity but it comes with several conditions involving smoke management plans and the management of cumulative effects on the township adjacent to a buffer area. The new Air Plan is available to read on ECan’s website.

Foodies flock to meet celebrity chef By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Foodies descended on Paper Plus Ashburton yesterday afternoon to meet celebrity chef Annabel Langbein. Langbein has been touring the South Island since October 10 for the launch of her latest book, and Ashburton marked her penultimate stop-off. Also known as the Free Range Chef, Langbein has produced 25 books and three television series which have aired in 90 countries. Langbein is also a founding member of the Sustainability Council of New Zealand, and her recipes focus on health, simplicity and fresh produce. Crowds had lined up long before Langbein’s arrival at 3pm, and she thanked them for having her in “the lovely town” of Ashburton. She spent time signing books, chatting to each fan, taking photos and handing out goodie bags, and at one point, the story of one wheelchair-bound Ashburtonian fan brought Langbein to tears. Langbein described her as “the bravest person I’ve met.” The book which Langbein was promoting is Essential, which was released in March. Langbein says it’s her most comprehensive

In brief Undie run infuriates An undie run by Rotorua Boys’ High School senior students celebrating the end of the school year has left the principal of John Paul College fuming. Around 30 Rotorua Boys’ High students were seen running along the city streets towards John Paul College about 11am yesterday wearing nothing but their underwear. They jumped the school’s fence and ran around the field. John Paul College principal Patrick Walsh was furious at the half-naked antics. “They’re trespassing and are distracting my students.” - NZME

Crash victim dies A female occupant of a vehicle that crashed at Waitotara, South Taranaki on Sunday October 29 has died in hospital. The crash occurred on Waitotara Valley Road. The 21-year-old woman was taken to Wellington Hospital, where she died on October 31, police said. Enquiries into the cause of the crash are ongoing. Police extended their sympathies to the family of the deceased. The name of the victim will not be released until police are satisfied that all of her family have been informed. - NZME

Student grabbed Police in Napier are investigating reports a teenage girl was grabbed by a man on her way to school yesterday. Napier Girls’ High School principal Dawn Ackroyd has sent out a letter to parents stating a Year 10 student was grabbed by a male who then became startled and took off. This is the latest in a series of allegations of females being approached and grabbed by males in Hawke’s Bay over the past few months. - NZME

yet, featuring over 650 recipes. “Most of us revert to cooking the same old same old … I hope this book will be useful,” she said. “It took me about a year to complete.” She said it combines her most popular recipes over the past 20 years, along with “millions” of tips, and a variety of indexed options for those with eating re-

quirements, inspired by her own family. “Everyone in my family has a different eating requirement – my 25-year-old son has been diagnosed as a coeliac, my daughter’s vegetarian, my husband claims his body is a temple,” she laughed. Paper Plus Ashburton manager Terry McNab said it was great

to have Annabel in store for the afternoon. “We’re very lucky to have her here,” he said. Langbein will continue on to Christchurch for her last book signing event today, before returning to her block of land on the shores of Lake Wanaka, where she and her husband Ted live.

Peter John Carroll will spend at least 17 years in prison after severely beating a Christchurch man to death and setting his body on fire. The 53-year-old was sentenced in the High Court at Christchurch yesterday for the murder of Marcus Luke Tucker, 36, whose body was found near Lake Ellesmere, on Anzac Day last year. A nine-day trial, which began in September, ended with a jury finding Carroll guilty of murder. - NZME

Doting grandparents had the chance to step inside the Ashburton Intermediate School gates yesterday and glimpse school life for their grandchildren. The school’s grandparents and whanau day began with morning tea in the hall, where grandparents and extended family members had the chance to peruse science fair boards while enjoying drinks and nibbles and catching up with students and their friends. Student leader Anna Gray said the grandparents and family members could then follow their students to class and check out what they were learning.

Need sick leave? – Check the bank By Sue NewmaN Sue.n@theguardian

Donating their surplus sick leave to their work mates could become an option for Ashburton District Council staff in the future. The issue has been discussed by staff and while the council won’t be following the lead of the Marlborough District Council in creating a sick leave bank, council chief executive Andrew Dalziel said the idea is on the council’s radar. ”We looked at this last year in a lot of detail with a group of staff, but we didn’t advance it. There was certainly a lot of goodwill there with people wanting to do

Andrew Dalziel something and if the fish hooks are ironed out by others then we’ll look at it again,” he said.

The Marlborough council allows staff to bank their surplus leave for use by colleagues facing a serious illness. Staff must retain sufficient to use themselves if needed and those needing a sick leave top-up can apply for up to 20 days’ extra leave on top of their own annual allocation. When Ashburton’s focus group looked at the sick leave bank option there was a real enthusiasm to do something to help their colleagues, Dalziel said. There were a number of issues raised, however, that weren’t easy to resolve, he said. These included balancing the

cost of a time contribution by a staff member on a lower wage that was used by a higher paid colleague, the question of whether it should only be contributors to the bank who should have access to the extra leave, should new staff who are unable to contribute be able to use the bank, should you have to repay the leave you took and how you dealt with people who were frequently off work either with sickness themselves or caring for sick children. In the past the council has had staff members with significant health issues that had required more time off work than their sick leave allocation covered, but in

those instances a compassionate approach had been taken by the council, Dalziel said. “I’m comfortable that we can do this on a one by one basis and also, at any time I could be working with an individual who needs time off work but who doesn’t want it disclosed what the health issues are that they’re dealing with, so how do you tell staff that leave in the bank is running low and not be able to say who used it and why.” While the council wouldn’t be adopting the sick leave bank idea at the moment, it was something that would be looked at again in the future, he said.

■ NATIONAL OPPOSITION

‘It’s not our job to make this place run’ Bill English has revealed the roles his MPs will hold as National “pushes the button on Opposition” – saying the party will use its size to frustrate progress for the new Government. Parliament resumes next week and English yesterday announced the portfolios he has assigned to his team, including a big promotion for Judith Collins. “You should expect more tension and more pressure in the Parliament, and particularly through the select committee process. Because we are the dominant select committee party,” English said. “And that is going to make a difference to how everything runs it’s not our job to make this place run for an incoming Government that is a minority. “You will get to understand that it is a minority Government with a majority Opposition, and the Greens as the support party. That is how we are going to run it...we have no obligation to smooth [Labour’s] path. None whatsoever.” Labour and NZ First Coalition have 55 votes combined, compared with National’s 56. However, when the Green Party – supporting the Government on

English attacked the Labourled Government on a number of fronts, labelling its thinking on social policy “pre-internet” and saying current employment and construction figures would be a benchmark of success. “If this is poor performance then all they have to do is exceed it.” The major portfolios have largely been assigned to their former ministers, including Finance

to Steven Joyce, Education to Nikki Kaye, Health to Jonathan Coleman, and Justice to Amy Adams. Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey will hold the newly-created position of spokesman for Mental Health. Doocey worked in mental healthcare management before entering Parliament in 2014. Major changes include Judith Collins picking up Transport, previously held by Simon Bridges. Bridges picks up the crucial task of being spokesman on Immigration, and also Economic and Re-

gional Development and Immigration. English said Collins had performed very well since getting back into Cabinet. “I think Phil Twyford will find her way of doing business suits Opposition.” Amy Adams drops Housing, which is picked up by Michael Woodhouse, who also gets Social Housing. In return Adams gets Woodhouse’s old portfolio of Workplace Relations and Safety, including Pike River. English said he wanted Adams and her “crystal clear legal mind” in Workplace Relations. “It is probably one of the most concerning of the Government’s economic policies – a reversion to pre-1990 industrial relations models.” Louise Upston has picked up Social Development from Anne Tolley. Simon O’Connor picks up Corrections, which was held by Upston. Nick Smith no longer has Environment or Building and Construction. He now holds Forestry and Aquaculture. Scott Simpson, who was the former Environment Minister, is now National’s spokesman in that portfolio. English said Smith had done a

great job in housing, despite the criticism he got in that role. “He and I would both be of the view it is time to move to something else,” English said, adding he thinks Smith will see out the term. There are big promotions for Chris Bishop, picking up Police and Youth, and Todd Muller, who gets Climate Change and Crown/ Maori Relations. Treaty Negotiations and Maori Development have gone to Nuk Korako. English will be spokesman for National Security, while deputy leader Paula Bennett will hold Children, Women and Social Investment. Joyce holds Finance and Infrastructure, with Gerry Brownlee spokesman for Foreign Affairs, Fisheries, and Land Information. He said he didn’t know how many of his MPs planned to leave Parliament over the next term, saying those decisions were theirs to make, but none had indicated plans to leave. “All I can say is I have been impressed by the enthusiasm of our MPs who have the choice to leave to stay.” - NZME

Ewen Macdonald re-marries in small ceremony The man acquitted of murdering Feilding farmer Scott Guy has remarried in a secret wedding. Ewen Macdonald married Joyce Braas in Dunedin on October 12. Macdonald’s ex-wife Anna Guy wasn’t present but said the ceremony was small and attended by Macdonald and Braas’ seven children. She said she’d met Braas briefly on one occasion “for about five minutes, that’s it”. Braas’ mother Ria Blokdyke didn’t go to the wedding either. Blokdyke said she found out about it when her daughter phoned her two days after it happened. “She told me on my birthday ... it was a big secret I think. “All her brothers and sisters were at my birthday. That’s why she phoned me to tell me. The brothers and sisters didn’t go to the wedding.” Cleared of murdering Scott Guy, Macdonald was convicted of other offences against the Guy family. The newly married couple, who live in

Ewen Macdonald Christchurch, visited Blokdyke twice before the wedding. She wasn’t aware of her son-in-law’s criminal past when she first met him, she said. “My first impression was that he was a nice bloke until my other daughter saw his ankle bracelet. “I didn’t see that the first time. My first impression was he was a nice bloke, then I’d heard all the things he’s done.” - NZME

The father of a schoolboy who suffered a badly cut leg when run over by a topless dirt bike-riding schoolgirl doesn’t want charges laid. However, the principal of the school where the incident took place does want charges pursued – saying a “strong message” must be sent to young people that reckless behaviour won’t be tolerated. Hamilton Boys’ High School student Kyle Kirsten suffered a deep gash to his leg when hit by a girl from Waikato Diocesan School on the Boys’ High field at lunchtime on Wednesday.

Students have said the incident involving six girls wearing nothing but underpants and helmets was part of an annual streaking event. One of the bikes rode over the Year 12 boy’s leg, causing the rider to fall off. One of the girls is alleged to have given the middle finger before riding off. The victim was taken to hospital. He is now recovering from his injuries at home. Posts on social media referred to the boy’s wound as a “very deep cut”. “Doctors said it’s actually down to the bone.” - NZME

ood on Tony Todd for not resting on his laurels and letting the contentious i-SITE closure rest. What was a hot bed of conversation last week has been quietly simmering away in the background for the past few days but Todd looks set again to take it to Experience Mid Canterbury and the Ashburton District Council in an effort to get the decision overturned. And there is no one better placed than him to lead the fight back. He’s a respected businessman who knows Ashburton, its surrounds and the people that dwell here almost as good as anyone else. There’s no hidden agenda to it, he’s fighting the good fight for the community. His business in the heart of the Ashburton central business district is one of just a number of stores that are being frequented by visitors to the town looking for information. There’s frustration starting to filter its way through from both sides of the argument. And while it might seem like a fight in vain at times, at least this entire saga has brought to attention a number of other issues that needed to be highlighted. And that is that the people of the Ashburton District want to be informed of what is going on. And no matter what way this situation is sugar-coated, that hasn’t happened. Consultation may have occurred behind closed doors and away from the public arena, but this district is saying that’s not good enough and they expect better. And rightly so too. They want to be involved in any major decisions. To be given the chance to say their piece and have their opinions heard. Yes, there are certain parameters within which a council must work and their powers only go so far when it comes to laws and regulations. But the obligation to the people who have put them in the position to be able to make change for the better of the district as a whole should override anything else. After all, if the people are powerful enough to put them there in the first instance, then they are certainly powerful enough to take them away too.

We’ll have fireworks going off from now til christmas or later!! Keryn They should be bloody banned, dangerous in the wrong hands. And waste firefighters time. Coming from a family full of firefighters, they have better things to do, that put up with morons. Cathie Unfortunately, the idiots do spoil it. And accidents happen.

A reason to celebrate

entered my 50th year on Monday. Should I be worried? Pensive? Maybe even sad? Hell no, I can’t wait! I’m sure we will have a superb celebration to mark the occasion. If it’s anything like the 50ths I have been to this year, it will be a biggie and I’ll feel every one of those years for a few days afterwards. I think turning 50 is kind of like life, it’s all in the way you look at it. A lot of very good people haven’t been lucky enough to have made it to the half century. And apart from a few absolute howlers I’ve had in the past I wouldn’t change a thing. And to quote the famous philosopher, Mick Jagger, “You’re only as old as the woman you feel”, I just wish mine didn’t keep telling me to grow up. So bring it on 50, I’m not scared! In fact I am grateful for making it this far. I’m also grateful I live in Mid Canterbury, away, hopefully, from terrorists driving into innocent people. A place where the national sport has to give way to the local A&P show and “yes, boy” didn’t the Methven area look awesome on the telly during the Lochore Cup final.

What a breath of fresh air it is to have a new government led by Labour! A fresh start. A government that will do something about the disgraceful poverty so many families exist in, the alarmingly degrading environment and the provincial economies the previous administration neglected, and raided, to support its favoured projects in Auckland. Despite the many deceptions English promulgated during the election campaign, I consider he is an honourable man. Nevertheless, he is quite incorrect to describe the economy he presided over as either “strong or good”. All citizens contribute to the economy in which we live, and it is to serve all of us. An economy that tolerates working parents and their children sleeping in cars is not a “good economy”. An economy based on property speculation and low wages

munity would like to have and what people are prepared to pay though rates and road user charges. The community, through the district council, can decide on what it is prepared to pay for an appropriate level of service for transport and this is determined through its long term plan. The funds from the national transport fund are applied in a nationally consistent way across the country based on the customer levels of service as applied to the road classification and performance. Where the community and national views on levels of service are aligned, there is approximately 50 per cent contribution each from the NZ Transport Agency and Ashburton District Council. However, this does not restrict the council spending more on a higher level of service for its network if that is what the community is seeking and is prepared to pay. National transport funding in New Zealand is generated from

road users through the fuel tax and road user charges and then returned back into the transport system. The funding share is apportioned with roughly half contributed by the transport user (from the national fund) and half by the ratepayer (through the council’s local ratepayer share). Both local government and central government have been working through ways to improve funding efficiency so that transport benefits are maximised, given the funding is not limitless. Part of this drive has been to introduce a road classification system that relates to the purpose of roads in the network (from local roads to regional and national strategic routes ie state highways) and funding in accordance with gaps in how they operate. Ashburton District Council has been a part of this initiative and we value our relationship with the council. Jim Harland Director Regional Relationships, NZ Transport Agency

cannot be described as a “strong economy”. A government that fosters such an economy deserves to fail.

Hamas hands over crossings Militant group Hamas has handed over control of the Gaza Strip’s border crossings to the Palestinian Authority (PA) government amid an attempt to reconcile a decade-old rift. The handover is the first major step after the rival parties signed an initial reconciliation agreement almost three weeks ago permitting the Fatah-controlled PA to unite the West Bank and Gaza under one administration. Hamas, PA and Egyptian officials gathered at the GazaEgypt Rafah Border Crossing for the handover of five border crossings. Large banners were strung of Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sissi, who has been a key player in the latest reconciliation agreement. “Today is the actual and practical first step of ending an internal Palestinian divi-

PHOTO AP sion that lasted for more than 10 years,” said PA’s housing and construction minister, Mufid al-Hassayna. Hamas, considered a terrorist group by the US and the European Union, has managed

a separate Palestinian government in the Gaza Strip ever since it violently seized control of the isolated coastal enclave from the PA in 2007. The Islamist militant group has grown increasingly inde-

pendent, fighting three wars with Israel over the past 10 years. But Hamas now finds itself cash-strapped, losing popularity among Gazans, and under pressure from Egypt to cede control over the coastal enclave. Hisham Odwan, spokesman of the Hamas-run borders and crossings corporation, said the PA will be the “first and last body in charge” of the crossings. Gaza’s border crossings remain largely shuttered as Egypt along with Israel has maintained a blockade of the territory since Hamas took control. PA security staffing the border crossings could lead to an easing of the blockade, which would alleviate the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, home to about two million people. – DPA

Photo inspired McCartney Paul McCartney has spoken of his inspiration for the Beatles’ hit Lady Madonna – a National Geographic photo of a woman breastfeeding her child. The 1968 track reached the top of the charts and is one of the most famous releases from the Fab Four. McCartney says he was inspired to write the song after seeing an image of a woman in National Geographic magazine in the 1960s. National Geographic had published a photograph entitled Mountain Madonna, of a woman whose way of life was threatened, with one child at her breast and another laughing up at her.

Warrant issued for bombers brother British police have been granted a warrant for the arrest of the brother of the Manchester Arena suicide bomber for murder and are now trying to bring him back to the UK from Libya, anti-terror police say. An extradition request has been handed to authorities in Libya where Hashem Abedi, brother of the bomber Salman Abedi, is currently in custody. Both brothers travelled to Libya in April, before Salman returned alone before carrying

out the attack on May 22, which left 22 dead and hundreds injured. Hashem Abedi is understood to be currently held by a militia group in Libya. Assistant Chief Constable Russ Jackson, of Greater Manchester Police and head of the North West Counter Terrorism Unit (NWCTU) said: “I can now say that following a review of the evidence by the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service), we have applied for and been grant-

ed a warrant for the arrest of Hashem Abedi. “The arrest warrant relates to the murder of 22 people, the attempted murder of others who were injured and conspiracy to cause an explosion.” Police have previously said they do not think Salman Abedi was part of a wider network but believe others were involved in the planning of the attack and named Hashem as a suspect. Abedi’s bomb has been described as “substantial” in size,

and he had put it inside a tin with the shrapnel, nuts and bolts, placed around it. He detonated the device at the end of an Ariane Grande concert with 353 people around him in the foyer of the arena venue. As well as the 22 dead, among the survivors 16 people were seriously injured including suffering paralysis, loss of limbs, internal injuries, and serious facial injuries and two people remain in hospital. – PA

Japanese firm gives non-smokers more leave

Done in the name of Isis

A Japanese firm wants to compensate its non-smoking workers by giving them an extra six days of leave because they don’t take the breaks to smoke. The initiative known as “Sumokyu” – wordplay using “smoke” and a Japanese word for “break” – was rolled out by a Tokyo-based online marketing consultant Piala on September 1 after an employee complained about the time lost because the colleagues went smoking. The office of the company is on the 29th floor and it takes between 10 to 15 minutes to visit the smoking zone in the lobby and return. Some employees smoke several times a day which led to complaints, but given that much of the conversations during these breaks are related to work, the company decided it would be better to compensate non-smokers, instead of taking action

against those who smoke. The initiative has led to four of the 42 smokers – from a workforce of 120 people – to quit smoking. Many Japanese companies have banned smoking at work and set up rooms for smokers, however, measures like the one adopted by Piala are unusual. Among the developed nations, Japan is one of the most permissive when it comes to smoking; the law allows smoking in restaurants and bars without the premises having to designate a smoking area, whereas it is banned on the streets. The Japanese government is considering the approval of the new measures to further implement its anti-tobacco law, with some sections calling for a ban on cigarettes in all public areas in preparation for the 2020 Olympic Games. – EFE

The Uzbek immigrant accused of using a truck to mow people down along a bike path, killing eight, “did this in the name of Isis”, police said. Investigators are at the hospital bedside of 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov who was shot by police during the attack that also left 12 people injured, an official said. John Miller, deputy police commissioner for intelligence, said Saipov left behind handwritten notes in Arabic with symbols and words, which essentially said the Islamic State group, or Isis, “would endure forever”. New York police hadn’t investigated Saipov before but he had some links to people who have been. Recent extremist attacks have seen assailants inspired but not actually directed by the Islamic State. Leaders vowed New York would be not intimidated, and commended New Yorkers for going ahead with Halloween festivities and the New York City Marathon.

“We will not be cowed. We will not be thrown off by anything,” mayor Bill de Blasio said. New York police commissioner James O’Neill urged people to be vigilant. In this latest attack, Saipov hurtled down the bike path, running down cyclists and pedestrians, then crashed into a school bus. He was shot in the abdomen after he jumped out of the vehicle brandishing air guns and yelling “God is great!” in Arabic. The dead consisted of five people from Argentina, one from Germany, and two Americans. Nine people remain hospitalised with injuries that include lost limbs and head, chest and neck wounds. Saipov is from Muslim Uzbekistan and came to the US legally in 2010. Mirrakhmat Mumino said he knew Saipov as an argumentative young man whose work was falling apart and who “was not happy with his life”. – AP

Don’t tweet every thought Former first lady Michelle Obama says words matter, particularly in an age where Twitter and other social media can be used like a weapon. Addressing a summit of young leaders hosted by the Obama Foundation, she said people shouldn’t “tweet every thought” because “first initial thoughts are not worthy of the light of day”. The comments drew laughter from the crowd as Obama added she wasn’t “talking about anybody in particular”. She says when people send a tweet, especially young people, they need to think it over, spell correctly and use good grammar.

Written in concrete Mariah Carey has been hailed as “beyond iconic” as she was honoured with a hand and footprints ceremony in Hollywood Boulevard. The singer said the event was an “honour” before planting her hands in the cement. Lee Daniels, who directed Precious, the double Oscar-winning film starring Carey, celebrated her as “beyond a legend, beyond iconic” as he spoke at the ceremony. “Her heart is gold, her heart is pure, we’ve watched her in the media from the beginning. Her ups, her downs, we’ve lived them, we love her for them,” he added. Carey only said a few words from the stage rather than the typically lengthy acceptance speech. “It’s an honour to be here,” she said.

Butter – the block of new gold

Two hundred and fifty metric tonnes of butter are churned out by Fonterra’s Te Rapa plant daily but it’s still not nearly enough to meet demand.

September 23 election failed to find an outright winner. The balance of power was with Winston Peters and the NZ First party. In true Winston style, he was not to be rushed, making us wait almost a month before forming a coalition with Labour. This made Jacinda Ardern the 40th prime minister of New Zealand, while Peters was made deputy. However, the New Zealand dollar rebounded this week after better than expected labour market data. The unemployment rate fell to 4.6 per cent in the third quarter of the year, from 4.8 per cent in quarter two. This is the lowest unemployment rate since December 2008. In addition to this, the labour force participation increased to 71.1 per cent, an all-time high. Importantly, wage growth was strong for the quarter, up 1.9 per cent on an annualised basis, in line with third quarter inflation. Across the Tasman, the ASX 200 gained 4 per cent in October, logging its strongest month of the year and ending a five month losing streak. All sectors on the Australian bourse finished the month in positive territory, led by the tech sector. The real estate sector was the weakest, with just a 1.27 per cent rise.

rough time of late, falling sharply after the Australian High Court disqualified five members of parliament, including deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce, for having dual citizenship. Joyce’s disqualification means that the coalition has lost its one seat majority in the House of Representatives. He has now renounced his New Zealand citizenship and has put himself forward for re-election. The Nikkei in Japan had an exceptional performance in October, rising 8.13 per cent. The export heavy index benefited from a weaker yen, strong earnings and the re-election of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The Bank of Japan met during the week and maintained its massive quantitative easing programme, giving further support to equity markets. The central bank also pared back its inflation forecasts. In the US, reporting season continues and we have seen some very strong results, which have helped to push indexes to all time highs again. All three of the main indexes gained in October, with the Dow Jones showing the strongest performance, up 4.34 per cent. The S&P 500 gained 2.22 per cent while the Nasdaq gained 3.57 per cent. The US Federal Reserve took centre stage this week and while no changes were made, the statement showed a change in language indicating a more positive view on the US economy.

ctober was a positive month for equities across the globe. The NZX50 made a healthy 2.72 per cent gain for the month, marking its 10th positive month in a row. The local bourse is now up 18.39 per cent for the year, putting the index in a healthy position as we head into what is traditionally a strong period for equity markets. Market darlings a2 Milk and Synlait Milk were the top performers in October rising 34.84 per cent and 23.83 per cent respectively. Comvita also had a strong month, rising 13.47 per cent, boosted by positive sentiment following its AGM. All three companies have large offshore earnings and, as such, benefited late in the month by a weaker New Zealand dollar. The worst performer on the NZX 50 was Fletcher Building, finishing the month down 7.88 per cent after yet another earnings downgrade for its Building & Interiors segment. FBU appointed Ross Taylor as its CEO on the same day it announced its profit downgrade, so the appointment was swept aside as investors focussed on the additional losses. Sky TV fell 7.41 per cent for the month to be the second worst performer. SKT has struggled to gain traction as competition in the pay TV arena ramps up and subscriber numbers continue to fall.

Leslie says it’s impossible to predict how high the price of butter could get. “At some point it will equalise up and you’ll see that from extra production coming out of New Zealand or out of [Europe].” He says they’ve already taken steps to ensure butter doesn’t run out for New Zealanders, including investing in a $20 million expansion of the Te Rapa factory. Leslie partly blames the spike in demand on eating trends over the past three to five years. “We’ve seen some of the likes of McDonald’s and other quick service restaurants around the world go from other forms of fats back into having butter in their finished burgers,” he says. “You’ve seen more and more of this eating out more regularly. If you go into Asia and some other countries... From cream cheese which will go into cakes or whipping cream that’ll go into the Italian cafes... All of that product is competing for the fat or the butter fat stream of our milk.” He says it’s anyone’s guess when the industry will bounce back. – NZME

The unprecedented demand for milk fat is what dairy giant Fonterra is blaming for the global butter shortage. The fat from about 20 litres of raw milk makes up a single 500g block of butter. That’s nearly the total amount that can be milked from two cows in one day. Two hundred and fifty metric tonnes of butter is churned out of Fonterra’s Te Rapa factory daily. But it’s still not nearly enough to meet the huge worldwide demand. Director of operations and supply chain Mark Leslie said it’s a global phenomenon. “The price of butter has surged all around the world and a big part of that is just purely driven by demand for butter products and fat products. And supply hasn’t kept up,” he said. He said New Zealand, Europe and the US could not keep up with the demand. NZH Focus has compared the prices of the cheapest 500g block of butter at major supermarkets here, in Australia and in the United Kingdom. In New Zealand, the price of

The chocolate has to melt gently.

When safety is paramount I

nnovative high-performance cars for safety at the highest level of motorcycle racing: the BMW M GmbH has remained true to this principle throughout nearly 20 years of partnership with the MotoGP organiser Dorna Sports, and as the “Official Car of MotoGP”. That is especially true of the new BMW M5 MotoGP Safety Car, which the company from Munich is presenting as the next highlight in the Safety Car fleet. The new course car is based on the high-performance sedan BMW M5 , which was showcased to the global public for the first time in August. The new BMW M5 MotoGP Safety Car will debut at the MotoGP season finale in Valencia, Spain (November 10 to 12) and will speerhead the Safety Car fleet in the 2018 season. “A MotoGP Safety Car faces enormous challenges. It is vital to lead a field of unique, high-performance race prototypes safely through all sorts of conditions,” said Frank van Meel, President of BMW M GmbH. “Innovative motorsport technology is an essential part of this. “The new BMW M5 forms the perfect basis for a safety car, as its technical features ensure perfect handling, even at the limits of driving dynamics – on the road and on the racetrack. “Development never stands still in

MotoGP, which is always pushing its limits further and further. The same is true for the BMW M GmbH – and the new M5 MotoGP Safety Car is an outstanding example of our pursuit of innovation and maximum levels of performance.” The features in question include the newly-developed M-specific all-wheel drive M xDrive, used in the M5 for the first time. With precise handling and perfect traction, this guarantees optimised driving dynamics in all manner of situations. The heart of the BMW M5, the 4.4-litre V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology, has been completely overhauled by the M engineers. It represents another significant increase in perfor-

mance compared to previous models, with 441 kW/600 HP and maximum torque of 750 Nm in the production M5. The new BMW M5 only needs 3.4 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. Transmission is provided by the new eight-speed M Steptronic gearbox with Drivelogic. The chassis contains Mspecific kinematics and elastokinematics elements that contribute to optimised driving

dynamics. The weight also plays an important role in performance. This has been reduced further through features such as the lightweight carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) roof. Painstaking manual work at the BMW M Manufaktur converted the high-performance base car into the BMW M5 MotoGP Safety Car, preparing it to appear as the course car in the world’s fastest motorcycle racing series. The exhaust system is made of titanium, with carbon exhaust tips, and has been designed specially for use on the racetrack.

Innovation the XX key

he Finali Mondiali provided the backdrop to the world premiere of the new FXX-K Evo which will be available both as an extremely limited-run model and as an upgrade package for the existing XX cars. This latest arrival marks a significant evolution of the XX programme launched in 2005 with cars developed specifically to play an active role in the eponymous research and development programme which itself has become a byword for innovation and uncompromising performance.

As was the case with the Evo versions of the FXX and the 599 XX versions, the Ferrari FXX-K Evo benefits from an extensive package that applies innovative concepts derived from all of the various track categories in which Ferrari competes with its cars: the Formula 1, GT3, GTE and Challenge, the latter being the single-make championship bearing its name. Derived from the racing world and adopting completely track-specific content, the FXX-K Evo, like all the previous XX cars, is not homologated for road use

and will not be used in competition outside its dedicated programme. Mirroring the vocation of its predecessor, it, however, is aimed at a small, highly-select group of Ferrari Clients: supercar enthusiasts eager to share the development of technologically-innovative content with the Prancing Horse technicians, through driving a closed-wheel laboratory car. At the development stage, the designers worked on a broad range of different aspects of the FXX-K Evo, starting with reducing its overall weight.

By drawing on Ferrari’s Formula 1 experience and adopting innovative carbonfibre component crafting processes, they succeeded in producing a lighter car than the previous FXX-K despite introducing new elements such as the fixed rear wing. The FXX-K Evo’s downforce coefficient has been improved by 23 per cent on the previous version, which is the equivalent of a 75 per cent increase on the road car from which it is derived. Downforce of 640 kg is generated at 200 km/h, and exceeds 830 kg at the car’s redline speed.

Classics you can invest in I

t used to be that Classic Cars were always a good financial investment. Particularly if kept pristine and lovingly cared for. Today, however, that’s not necessarily the case and some older cars aren’t even worth what they were when they were originally on the market. Counting upkeep, it seems that often classic cars can’t always deliver financially the way they used to. Except for these! Here’s a couple of ever-favourite classic cars which can still hold their own in anybody’s marketplace.

1969 Corvette Stingray L88 Built from 1967 to 1969, this Corvette L88 was the closest you could come to an actual race car that wasn’t custom made. Because of the need for speed, these beauties were designed without heaters or radios, but came with power brakes, super suspension, and a V8 6997cc engine which took it to top speeds of around 150 mph. They were known as the “stingray” because of the cowled induction hood. Recently, Barrett Jackson fetched a meager $3.85 million for a 1967 2-door coupe in red.

Mercedes Benz 300SL Roadster Made with a 222bhp engine, the SL Roadster is fast and gorgeous, although slightly less exotic than its sister-car, the Gullwing. Designed for aerodynamic efficiency, the car did become a bit difficult to handle when functioning at the highest speeds of around 155 mph, with a 6cylinder, 240hp engine. Only 554 were produced in 1957. Current values for the Mercedes Benz 300SL Roadster come in between just under $1 million and around $1.5 million with values expected to increase over the future. If you have a cool million to invest in a classic car, this one just might be the best option for you.

Weekends on wheels

ecently a group of MG owners took a trip to Southland and enjoyed staying in Lawrence. One of group, Juliana Protheroe said they found some interesting roads and cool things to do around the Southland town, one being to cross the Clutha River on the Tuapeka Mouth ferry. Powered entirely by the river current the ferry is the last of around 25 similar punts which in times gone by crossed the river. The group were intrigued when they

help wondering if Warwick has been operating a business they weren’t aware of. Ironically Warwick was surprised to find some useful motor upholstery materials and other bits and bobs. How to bring it all home? No problem really, surprising what will fit in an MGB GT! When Stuart Hart was asked what he would be doing last weekend he said he and Anne would be going on the annual Vintage Car Club P60 Rally organised by Owen and Lorraine Wilson. Stuart went on to say it might be worth coming along to the start get a photo – “there’ll be a few people and a few cars lined up because these runs are popular”. He wasn’t wrong; in fact as usual Stuart was right on the button – 68 people in 29 cars took part. As one entrant said these runs are always fun, it’s not a competition and the Wilsons always find interesting places to visit, on this occasion going to Rolleston and Leeston. The Vintage Car Club P60 and P80 categories are very popular sections of the club. Motor vehicles constructed between January 1 1961 and December 31 1980 form the P60 classification and vehicles constructed after January 1 1981 and up to 30 years old make up the P80 class. Last weekend local members took part in vehicles of all shapes, sizes, makes and models, including American, Australian, British and Continental cars. Owen and Lorraine, who travelled in their immaculate 1963 Chrysler Valiant AP5, said the P60/P80 enthusiasts enjoyed themselves and had a great day out.

Robin’s 75-pound, underpowered Singer a rarity

e’s a clever and keen photographer and from time to time his fabulous images, of subjects including landscapes and sunsets are enjoyed by readers of this paper. We’re talking about Robin Pridie. Photography has been one of Robin’s lifelong interests – he’s been taking photos for years. ur story last week about the trek made overland by the first owners of Steve Gielingh’s Landrover reminded Robin of an experience he had as a young man and of a photograph he took of the car involved. Robin was in England during 1957 and while there bought a 1939 Singer car. Robins says: “I bought this car for 75 pounds (UK) and after having toured Britain for nine months and having travelled 10,000 miles I sold it for 75 pounds, exactly what I had bought it for”. He goes on to say “cheap motoring!” Robin had no trouble with the Singer during that time, although a friend who was good at woodwork gave him a hand one weekend to replace the wood that the canvas hood was attached to, which ran

Robin Pridie’s 1939 Singer in England in 1957 – Robin was already taking great photographs. around the back parcel shelf. One feature of the car is described by Robin as a bit of a fool of design because the only way to access the small boot was to fold the back seat down and load the boot that way.

The Singer had a four-cylinder sidevalve 10hp motor, which Robin remembers being very similar to the Ford 10 of that era, so he thinks it may well have been made by Ford. It had a three-speed manual gear shift.

Because it was best at about 35 to 40 mph Robin said it took ages to get anywhere. It was well underpowered, so Robin says when he saw a hill coming up he knew to change down a gear and if it was a steep hill it had to be down two gears into first which was “not much faster than walking speed”! The delightful little car took Robin right up to John O Groat’s at the top of Scotland and also down to Lands’ End on the south western tip of Cornwell. He even drove it through the centre of London, although in those days traffic in that city was nothing like it is today. The Singer was great in the country on (one of the few) hot sunny days with the hood down. Robin would have loved to have shipped it back to NZ and in fact got a price, but unfortunately it was far too expensive, being more than the car cost. Looking back Robin says “I must say I was sad to see it go” adding “I have never seen a convertible or in fact I don’t ever remember ever seeing a Singer of that model in NZ” Robin wonders if maybe there are examples in museums here.

In brief

■ JASON WADDELL

Guineas problem solved A tricky Group One decision has been taken out of Jason Waddell’s hands. The Cambridge jockey had been faced with a choice between impressive last-start winners Ever loyal and Sumstreetsumwhere for his Al Basti Equiworld New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) ride, but the latter’s sale to overseas interests has solved his Riccarton conundrum. “He won’t be going to Christchurch, it’s all confirmed and he’ll be off to Hong Kong,” Sumstreetsumwhere’s trainer Stephen Marsh said. “I liked his chances for Riccarton, but that’s the way it goes and he’s on his way.” Raced by fellow trainer Ben Foote, Waikato horseman Sam Beatson and standardbred identity Andrew Stuart, Sumstreetsumwhere won two of his three starts for Marsh, including the Gr.2 Sarten Memorial (1400m). His sale, brokered by Waterford Bloodstock, means Waddell is now locked in for the mount on Satur-

day week aboard the Tony Piketrained Ever Loyal. “I couldn’t really split the two horses so it saves me making the choice,” he said. The 31-year-old has ridden the three-year-old in all four of his starts, including consecutive wins with the last of them a particularly strong performance to beat Scott Base in the Listed Zacinto Stakes (1600m). “I’ve thought he was a Guineas horse ever since I sat on him in a trial in March, but he got beaten in his first two starts which I didn’t expect,” Waddell said. “He’s come right though and he’s got to be a massive chance.” The emergence of Ever Loyal has also courted an offshore admirer of the son of Sebring. “There’s been some significant interest from Australia to buy part of the horse and they would still run him in the Guineas if anything happened, but nothing is confirmed and at this stage he’s definitely running,” Pike said yesterday. - NZME

Black type beckons Stakes targets await the highlyregarded mare Whispering, who will resume at her local meeting today. She is prepared at New Plymouth by Allan Sharrock and he is expecting a bold showing from the daughter of Darci Brahma in The Grahame Cochrane, Bayleys 1200m. “She always races well fresh and she’s had one jump-out and won that,” Sharrock said. “I scratched her when she drew 14 of 14 here last time and now she’s drawn seven of seven, but there looks like there’s lots of speed in the race. She’ll settle back and should be running on strongly.” - NZME

Career draws to a close Sofia Rosa will have her penultimate start in the Gr.1 Rydges Captain Cook Stakes (1600m) at Trentham on December 9. “She’s having a freshen-up and then she’ll go to Wellington and her swansong race will be the Zabeel Classic,” trainer Stephen Marsh said. Raced by Lib Petagna, Sofia Rosa has won five races with her career highlight her 2016 victory in the Gr.1 ATC Oaks (2400m) at Randwick. - NZME

■ ADDINGTON

Alta Maestro reverting to front-runner Leading reinsman Dexter Dunn says he will make the most of Alta Maestro’s advantageous good alley in the final Sires Stakes Heat at Addington tonight. The classy Art Major colt hasn’t been rushed off the gate this term. “That has been more to teach him more about being a racehorse,” Dunn said. “But of the main chances, only Aloka has drawn inside him tomorrow, so I really have to go forward and find the front,” he said. “He’s a great front-runner and has a high cruising speed. “He can really buzz out but hopefully I won’t have to use him too much to get there.” It’s ‘last chance saloon’ for one of last season’s top juveniles to qualify for the Gr. 1 Final at Addington on Tuesday week, November 14, after running sixth and fifth in two qualifying heats this spring. Alta Maestro was found to have the early stages of a virus when he dropped out, after moving outside the leader, in the Cambridge heat on October 5. After settling back on the markers from a wide gate in the Addington Heat on October 20, he ran on for fifth behind the All Stars’ stable first four, headed home by the unbeaten Chase Auckland. Running fast isn’t a problem to a fit Alta Maestro. He won in a 1:53.3 rate over 1700m at Cambridge at two, and was a half-neck second to The Devils Own in the $195,000 NZ Yearling Sales 2YO Open Pace at Addington on May 12, when the

Allan Sharrock is in no rush with Ladies First, who has a long-term Group One goal. “She’s at JaimeeLee Lupton’s place and she’s due for a gallop soon,” the New Plymouth trainer said. “The owners would like to have a dig at the Auckland Cup with her and that’s not until March so there’s plenty of time.” Ladies First has won six of her 10 starts, including Listed successes in the Wanganui Cup (2040m) and the Rangitikei Gold Cup (1550m). “She’s a good mare and time was always going to be her friend,” Sharrock said. - NZME

Illness lays Kaonic low Talented New Zealand-bred three-year-old Kaonic will miss the Melbourne spring carnival. He has been scratched from Saturday’s Gr.3 Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) after an elevated temperature prevented him travelling from Sydney. The son of Savabeel has won two of his three starts for Chris Waller and will now be given a break. - NZME

Heavyweight Hero out

Dexter Dunn and Alta Maestro are out to take advantage of a good draw at Addington tonight. winner rated a record 1:52.4 for the 1950m. The good news is Alta Maestro has thrived in training at Woodend beach since his fifth in the Chase Auckland heat two weeks ago. “Dad (Dexter’s father and the horse’s trainer Robert Dunn) says he’s the best he’s ever had him at this stage. “Since his last run, he’s really happy with him,” said Dexter Dunn. Alta Maestro appears the

main stumbling block for the six-strong All Stars troop, headed by last season’s top juvenile Spankem. Of the Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen-trained six, only Zion Bromac has drawn inside Alta Maestro, but his maiden win this spring was on the grass at Methven and he is having his first start at this level. Spankem, a close third when resuming behind stablemates Chase Auckland and The Devils Own in the October 20 Sires Heat,

will be even sharper for this. But the Bettor’s Delight colt starts from the outside of the second row, following the withdrawal of The Dorchester with a cut tongue yesterday. All U Need Is Faith, only half a length from Chase Auckland when fourth in the October 20 Heat, will be competitive again from six on the front row, drawn just outside stablemate Anthem, who resumed with a strong maiden win at Ashburton on October 23. - NZHN

Todd MacFarlane has exercised caution with his star trotter Heavyweight Hero, scratching him from his engagement at Alexandra Park tonight. It was to be the hulking trotter’s first run back for the new season, but a minor foot issue has seen those plans shelved. “He has had a blow out in his foot, and I’m worried that if he raced it could develop into a quarter crack,” said MacFarlane. - NZHN

Varied Cup preparation A South African-raised jockey riding for a Scottish trainer on a horse owned in England in Australia’s most famous race. That’s the scenario for Nakeeta when he runs in Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup at Flemington. Now based in Sydney, Glyn Schofield rides Nakeeta for owners Alex and Janet Card and Iain Jardine, the first Scottish trainer to have a runner in the Cup. Schofield partnered Nakeeta, a $26 chance, for the first time in a gallop at Werribee yesterday. - AAP

In brief Lucky to be there Kiwis newcomer Addin Fonua-Blake has made mistakes in his young career but hopes he can make his family proud when he makes his debut against Scotland in Christchurch tomorrow. The 21-year-old front-rower has been named on the bench for the World Cup pool clash after an impressive season for Manly. His selection comes after Fonua-Blake almost blew his career when the he was sacked by the Dragons after pleading guilty to assaulting his partner. The former Junior Kiwi was fortunate to avoid prison. - NZME

No rest for Smith Mal Meninga admits not wanting to be the coach who ends Cameron Smith’s record streak of consecutive tests for Australia and won’t rest his skipper during the Rugby League World Cup. Smith will break Clive Churchill’s 35 straight appearances when he captains the Kangaroos in their group match against France tonight. The 34-year-old is now likely to finish the tournament on 40 consecutive tests – a mark Meninga says will continue to grow to a point that will never be beaten. - AAP

Phoenix chase first win Wellington Phoenix must respond better to pressure when they meet an unbeaten Newcastle Jets outfit tomorrow, coach Darije Kalevic says.

Spurs upset Real Madrid Tottenham Hotspur humbled holders Real Madrid 3-1 yesterday to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League and they were joined in the knockout phase by Manchester City. A Dele Alli double set Spurs en route to a magnificent win over Real at Wembley and Christian Eriksen ensured they will finish in the top two of Group H. Sergio Aguero’s club record 178th goal helped keep City perfect with a 4-2 win over Napoli. - PA

Joyce keeping calm It’s a top-of-the-table clash that has A-League fans salivating but Melbourne City coach Warren Joyce isn’t one to hype the occasion. Tim Cahill’s City, on top of the competition after four wins in four rounds, host title-holders Sydney FC in a clear match of the round but Joyce sees it as just another match. “Whoever wins tomorrow night isn’t guaranteed to win the league, that’s for sure. Whatever the result we’ll want to win the one after,” he said. - AAP

■ RUGBY

Sevens silverware in sights By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

The Heartland Rugby season might be over, but Mid Canterbury Rugby still have their eyes on adding more silverware to the trophy cabinet, with the sevens season starting in just a few weeks. There will be a meeting/training for all interested and available players for the upcoming season next Tuesday at the Rakaia Domain, starting at 7pm. “It is just about getting as many as possible to turn up on Tuesday

Ashburton Guardian 25

so the coaches can get a good look at the players,” Mid Canterbury Rugby development officer Jason Ree said. The side will be coached by Sean Carter, and while often there are players from the Heartland squad in the team, it is not an exclusive team. “Quite often the number of Heartland players we get depends on how long the rugby season has been, as they are starting preseason in January and February and this runs right

through till December,” Ree said. “And this year, it has been a long year for them.” The first tournament the team will play is the Referees’ Tournament, which is set to be held in Oamaru on November 25. To qualify for the national tournament, the side will have to get through the South Island Tournament in early December, where the team will face the likes of Canterbury and Tasman for a place at the national tournament in Rotorua.

Red card results in three-week suspension Mid Canterbury fullback Maleli Sau will not be playing for the Heartland XV this weekend after he was given a three week suspension by New Zealand Rugby. The suspension comes after his red card in the Lochore Cup final at the Methven Domain, where he was sent off in the third minute for a high tackle. New Zealand Rugby Duty Judicial Officer Nigel Hampton QC said while the tackle was reactive, rather than premeditated, Sau still made direct contact with

the head of the opposition player and therefore is a mid-range offence. Hampton said Sau’s responsibility, remorse, a clean judicial record and the loss of playing almost the entire final qualified for a reduction in the suspension from a starting point of six weeks, to three weeks. Sau was the Heartland Championship top try scorer, scoring 10 on the road to the Hammers winning the Lochore Cup, beating the West Coast 47-15 in the final.

Perry on the bench for All Blacks By Daniel Gilhooly An experienced duo will capture ample attention despite a host of fresh faces winning All Blacks selection for their tour opener against the Barbarians. Three uncapped players are on the bench while three others will make their starting debuts in a raw team boasting just over 300 combined caps at Twickenham on Saturday. To provide some counter-balance, coach Steve Hansen confirmed Beauden Barrett will be captain and loose forward Jerome Kaino will play his first test in nearly four months. Hansen resisted the urge to experiment with Damian McKenzie at first five-eighth, instead returning the No.10 jersey to Barrett, whose absence was keenly felt when replaced by Lima Sopoaga in last month’s loss to the Wallabies in Brisbane. Hansen anointed Barrett the off-field skipper earlier this week but hadn’t committed to the 26-year-old actually playing. The exciting playmaker will skipper his country for the first time. “We need a leader and he needs a game,” Hansen concluded. “He hasn’t played for 4-5 weeks so we may as well start him and know where he’s at.” Kaino’s selection at No.8 – partnering dynamic Canes flankers Ardie Savea and Vaea Fifita – will stir interest. The veteran flanker, 34, hasn’t played for his country since the drawn third and final test against the British and Irish Lions. He left the team ahead of the Sydney test in August to attend to personal matters and has struggled to force his way back in. With up to eight first-choice players missing from the tour and another five missing

the Barbarians game to enjoy a rest, Hansen forced himself to dig deeper than ever this week. The three uncapped benchmen are Matt Duffie, the former Melbourne Storm NRL winger, Mid Canterbury’s Tim Perry and dynamic 20-year-old hooker Asafo Aumua. Hansen said the likes of Aumua had clearly been “overwhelmed” during preparations this week but he didn’t regret naming a handful of newcomers together for the same game. “Preferably you’d want to give them a couple of weeks before you put them into the team,” Hansen said. “But this Baabaas game suits having those types of boys in the game. “It’s still too much to ask them to come straight on and play.” It will be a first All Blacks start for prop Ofa Tu’ungafasi, fullback David Havili and Seta Tamanivalu, who forms half of an all-Fijian born wing combination alongside Waisake Naholo. Openside Matt Todd wasn’t considered because of a minor groin injury. - NZME

The best from all levels from the world of Mid Canterbury rugby will be recognised at the annual Mid Canterbury Rugby Union Awards Evening tonight. Five premier awards will be handed out, including the Ant McGirr trophy for the referee of the year, the Philip McDonald Cup for Volunteer Services and the Neville Goodwin Memorial Trophy for coach of the year. The union’s top Heartland Rugby player will be recognised, as well as the award for the club of the year. The referees will also be acknowledged for their service, with five awards being presented in total for referees.

Back with the Blues Carlos Spencer, a Blues legend and one they haven’t been able to replace at the franchise since he left in 2005, will return to the team to play in next year’s Brisbane 10s tournament. Spencer, 42, played 35 tests for the All Blacks and is regarded as the best No. 10 to have played for the Blues. He won three titles with the franchise before leaving to play overseas and will return to wear the Blues jersey as a wildcard player. “I’m excited about playing with a bunch of youngsters and inspiring these guys to bring home that trophy,” Spencer said yesterday. - NZME

Gatland hits back Warren Gatland has had a dig back at Steve Hansen after the All Blacks coach said Gatland should give up coaching if he hated the Lions tour so much. Hansen’s recent quip that fellow Kiwi Gatland should just give up coaching if he was that way inclined received a response. “I hadn’t heard that. He is taking criticism in New Zealand because they could have lost to South Africa and were beaten by Australia. Steve always gives an honest opinion. That’s why we joked [after the drawn series] because he holds the record for consecutive losses as Wales coach. So he can’t have been enjoying himself.” - NZME

Cup reconnaissance The Wallabies feel they’ll have an advantage over some of their World Cup rivals with tomorrow’s historic test against Japan to be played at the venue for the 2019 final. The Australians face Japan for the first time on home soil at Yokohama Stadium, which will host the decider of rugby’s showpiece tournament. While they are intent on keeping intact their unbeaten record against Japan, they are also using the stopover as a reconnaissance mission before heading to Britain for tests against Wales, England and Scotland. - NZME

Steve Hansen says European club bosses have the biggest part to play if the Barbarians concept is to live on and thrive. The All Blacks coach was surprised but not complaining after Barbarians coach Robbie Deans unveiled 13 Kiwis in his squad for the tour match at Twickenham. Hansen described the clash as ideal for long-term planning. However, Hansen says it is an indictment on the European club competitions whereby players couldn’t be spared in a match which falls outside the international window.

■ CRICKET

India breaks T20 drought By Andrew Alderson Three New Zealand dropped catches and a record Indian opening partnership saw the hosts triumph by 53 runs in the opening Twenty20 cricket international at Delhi. India’s 202 for three was the highest total in five T20Is at the venue; the visitors’ batting fizzled under the pressure to finish at 149 for eight. The Black Caps were left reeling at 18 for two after losing openers Martin Guptill and Colin Munro within four overs. Guptill exited courtesy of a diving Hardik Pandya catch, racing 25m towards the sightscreen from long-off. Left-hander Munro was yorked by right-armer Bhuvneshwar Kumar from over the wicket. Stagnation followed as neither Kane Williamson (28 off 24 balls) or new No.4 Tom Latham (39 off 36 balls) could prevent the run rate from becoming extortionate. Mitchell Santner chimed in with an unbeaten 27 from 14 balls in a lost cause. The result was New Zealand’s first loss to India from six completed internationals in the format, dating back 10 years. Openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma put on 158 runs, eclipsing the country’s previous best of 136 for the first wicket set by Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag against England at Durban in 2007. Dhawan secured his highest T20 score of 80 off 52 balls. He was dropped on eight by Santner at cover point in the second over, delivered by Trent Boult. Sharma made 80 from 55 balls. He was dropped on 16 by Tim Southee at wide long off in the

Ashes fire still burns Veteran paceman Peter Siddle says he’s determined to push his name back in front of test selectors ahead of the looming Ashes series. Siddle, 32, broke down with a back injury against South Africa in November last year and hasn’t featured at international level since. But the paceman has returned to full fitness and will get his next chance to impress when his Victoria side take on South Australia in the Sheffield Shield. Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins will partner offspinner Nathan Lyon for the first test in Brisbane. - AAP

Ryder hits top form Jesse Ryder is understandably delighted with his prolific start to the season after scoring a century in both innings of Central Districts’ Plunket Shield cricket match against Auckland. Returning from a knee injury, Ryder backed up his 175 in the first innings with 106 not out as Central set the Aces a target of 426 for victory in Nelson. “It’s always good scoring runs and it’s good starting the season like this as well,” Ryder said. - NZME

No complacency Indian skipper Virat Kohli leads his troops celebrating Martin Guptill’s dismissal. seventh over off Colin de Grandhomme. Drama ensued during Sharma’s dismissal at the end of the 19th over, bowled by Boult. The opener edged behind but an umpire review declared him not out. In a moment of shrewd captaincy, Kane Williamson used New Zealand’s playing review. The snickometer confirmed Sharma’s exit. Regardless, India had already made their mark at 185 for three. The highlight for the visitors was Ish Sodhi’s final over, the 17th. He had Dhawan and pinchhitting No.3 Pandya caught behind with his flight and guile.

Dhawan’s dismissal looked like a stumping, but he had found willow. Captain Virat Kohli wasted no time making amends as he raced to 26 off 11 balls. However, he was dropped on eight by a diving Guptill at deep mid-wicket to finish the 18th over, bowled by de Grandhomme. Sodhi finished with New Zealand’s best and most economical figures, taking two for 25 from his four overs. Each of the pace bowlers conceded 11 or more runs per over. Dew proved a problem throughout.

mops were brought out in the seventh and 14th overs to offer some relief, although de Grandhomme had two balls slip from his grasp in a distended ninth over. The match was Ashish Nehra’s last in his 18-year international career. The 38-year-old became the second bowler after James Anderson to bowl from an end named in his honour. The only downside for India? The win pushed bitter rivals Pakistan to the top of the world T20 rankings with New Zealand dropping to second. The Indians remain in fifth spot. - NZME

England paceman Steven Finn insists his team aren’t worried that their upcoming tour match against a baby-faced WA XI outfit will be too easy. England will face a WA XI squad littered with youngsters in a two-day tour match, starting at the WACA on Saturday. Only two players in the squad have Shield experience – captain Nathan CoulterNile, and Will Bosisto. - AAP

Fabian will be focused Fabian Coulthard is so close to a maiden Supercars Championship title, he can almost taste it. But he’s been more than a little distracted this week. Coulthard and wife Becky ushered in baby twins barely 48 hours after the star Kiwi driver’s efforts at the Gold Coast 600. But the Penske driver says he’ll return to his home track with his energies focused entirely on victory. - NZME

■ MOTOR RACING

McLaughlin aiming for all-out aggression By dAle Budge Expect to see Kiwi Supercars driver Scott McLaughlin throw everything at winning this weekend at the ITM Auckland SuperSprint in Pukekohe. The Shell V-Power Racing driver lies third in the championship standings heading into the penultimate round of the championship and he knows he needs to force the issue if he is to win a maiden title. While a slow steady approach could see him remain in contention heading into the final round McLaughlin feels, as the chasing driver, he needs to take the fight to series leader Jamie Whincup. “For me, extra aggressive,” McLaughlin said of his planned approach. “The person that is going to win the championship is going to win races. “Our win on Sunday at the Gold Coast was massive. It really got us back into the game. “For me it is just attack. It puts me in

the right mindset doing what I love to do trying to drive as fast as I can and I think that is what has got us into this position now.” McLaughlin has arguably been the dominant driver this year and carried a healthy advantage in the championship standings into last month’s Bathurst. But a shocking race on the mountain, where his engine failed, left the Kiwi having to make up ground in the final events of the season. “If we had finished Bathurst in any position we would be a fair way ahead but that is what happens in motorsport – you just have to get on with it,” the 24-year-old said. “You have got to have a perfect day and we didn’t. “We have to work on it as a team and we have. What we did at Gold Coast – we turned a 13th place, which is an average place for us, into a race win and that is exactly what you have to do to win championships.” McLaughlin became the youngest

ever Supercars race winner at Pukekohe Park Raceway in 2013 and is fired up to shine in front of friends and family. “It is always good coming back here,” he said. “Obviously since 2013 having that first win was a very special day – I haven’t been able to win here since then so I want to try and change that this weekend.” Predictions Man to beat: Shane van Gisbergen – back on 2016 tyres he should be hard to beat having dominated the event last year. Dark Horse: He’s hardly a dark horse given he’s fourth in the championship but Chaz Mostert is on a roll and is not as widely-backed as some of the others in the title fight. Pressure on: Mark Winterbottom – Team-mate Mostert is going well, so too Cam Waters and Richie Stanaway is waiting in the wings for a fulltime gig in 2018. Frosty needs a result. - NZME Scott McLaughlin will be all-out at Pukekohe.

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

Friday, November 3, 2017

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Of course you’re interested in what affects your needs and goals. If you can’t figure out what’s in it for you, you’ll lose interest. Knowing this is how things work, you’ll craft something irresistible. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’ll lead with your generosity of spirit, though you still must act out of self-interest in many matters, as it would be irresponsible not to. Self-care is a duty and a public service. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’ve undergone so many incarnations in your lifetime already, and you’re about to add another to the story. Follow your curiosity wherever it may lead. If you’re not sure if you should ask, ask anyway. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Maybe you started late, or maybe you don’t come from the same place as the others. Whatever makes you different, lean into that. You’ll succeed without having to hide anything. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): It’s futile to fight against the waves of change. They are powerful, and you’ll only exhaust yourself. Stay relaxed, and provide no resistance. Out of the turmoil, you’ll start moving in a direction that makes sense. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): There’s no time to waste on hating the experiences that led you here. That will cause you to fall back. Instead, affirm: Here you are, shaped by what happened and also by what might happen. Fall forward. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Each stage of your life seems to demand you to be a little different from who you were. Now you’re busy figuring out what stays and what goes for the new version. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The sands of time don’t stop for drama, and neither should you. Take a quick scan to assess what’s relevant to you then move on. It’s good to satisfy curiosity unless that curiosity is of the morbid variety. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): “Sky above, earth below, fire within” – this creed has served you well, though you could use a water sign to balance it all out. Today you’ll get just that. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’re not sure if the project is finished, the job has ended, or the relationship is played out. Punctuate this with a semicolon instead of a period, because there’s probably more. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): A relationship is changing again. You’ve already been strangers, friends, enemies, friends again and more. And now you are back to being unsure what the other person will do. Keep guard as you find out. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You definitely won’t master the whole project in a day or even a month. Anyway, big thinking can be overwhelming and can bog you down now. Focus on being the master of this hour, then the next and the next.

Sport Torckler hangs on to yellow Canadian James Piccoli has been one of the biggest contributors on this year’s Tour of Southland and he was finally rewarded with a stage win atop the iconic Bluff Hill. Piccoli has been prominent this week, and he started stage four from Invercargill to Bluff trailing tour leader Michael Torckler by 44 seconds. Piccoli edged Torckler by eight seconds to cut the New Plymouth rider’s overall lead to 32 seconds with three stages remaining. “It’s probably the steepest hill I’ve ever raced up so it definitely lives up to its reputation,” Piccoli said.

Our sports stars up for Aoraki awards

After spending most of the season fighting a Kiwi invasion, Jamie Whincup is out to strike back on New Zealand soil this weekend. The Red Bull Holden driver heads across the Tasman for this weekend’s Auckland SuperSprint holding a narrow lead in a five-way championship battle. “It’s going to be tough over there. The Kiwis have won the majority of the races this year between Fabs, Scotty and Shane-o, they’ve just cleaned up,” Whincup said. “They’re always going to rise at their home event. We’ll just try to do the best we can.”

Langman ‘still a chance’ Laura Langman’s shock decision to terminate her contract in Australia has opened the door for a return to the Silver Ferns ahead of next year’s Commonwealth Games. But while the loophole is there for Langman to meet the eligibility requirements for the New Zealand team, it is not clear whether she intends to use it. Langman has announced she will not be returning to the Sunshine Coast Lightning next season, with the club agreeing to

let their star midcourter out of her contract. The 141-test Silver Fern offered few details of reasons for withdrawing from the Australian competition. The dynamic midcourter, who was blocked from playing for New Zealand this season after her decision to play in the Australian league made her ineligible for selection, said she would be “stepping away” from netball in 2018 and had no concrete plans for next year. While Langman’s statement

Smith forging amazing record P24

indicates she will be taking a break next season, there remains some hope that the star midcourter could yet make herself available for national selection ahead of the April Commonwealth Games. Netball New Zealand chief executive Jennie Wyllie was guarded when it came to discussing Langman’s future in the black dress, but said she is delighted to see the Ferns’ legend back in New Zealand. “We are respectful of where

Laura is at. She is a proud Kiwi and so the surprise wasn’t too great given she has indicated she still supports New Zealand one hundred per cent,” said Wyllie. “We’d love to sit down and talk with Laura. We want to be respectful of her decision and everything she has said indicates that she wants to take a break.” Wyllie confirmed if Langman was to sign with a franchise for the 2018 ANZ Premiership season, it would pave the way for her re-entry into the Ferns. - NZME

Leishman backs Tiger Marc Leishman believes Tiger Woods can upstage the likes of Jordan Spieth, Jason Day and world No.1 Dustin Johnson and win his comeback event in the Bahamas. The 14-times major champion will play his first event in nine months when he tees up as host at the Hero World Challenge starting on November 30. Woods lasted only 18 holes in Dubai in February before withdrawing – again – with back pain and has played just six competitive rounds in the past two years.
