IN TODAY’S GUARDIAN

Ashburton farmers are being warned to be vigilant after suspicious activity on a Rakaia farm.

Gareth Evans posted to the Facebook group NZ Dairy Farmers alerting the public to someone who was seen on his property acting suspiciously.

The post said that someone was seen driving a gun-metal coloured vehicle having a look at his calves at around 8am. However, after the vehicle was approached, it sped away. Later on it returned.

“Bulls are worth gold at the moment, I’d hate to see good people lose their livelihood,” the post said.

He has since moved his stock to safer

paddocks. It has been reported 55 bull calves were stolen from a farm on Two Chains road earlier this week.

Earlier this year around 500 dairy cows were stolen from a property just south of Ashburton. Police are still investigating the theft.

Federated Farmers Mid Canterbury chairman Michael Salversen said people needed to be aware of their surroundings.

“I think part of the whole things is sharing information,” he said.

“So if you think people are snooping around then let everyone know and what that means is that people are aware of what’s happening.”

Salversen said bull and heifer calves are currently worth between $400 and

$500 each. “So if 20 go missing, that’s $10,000 just like that,” he said.

Farmers should also look into taking down gates and adding more fences to reduce ways into their property as well as setting up motion detection cameras at high risk areas.

Constable Michael Kneebone of Rangiora police said regardless of property size, ideally stock numbers should be checked once a week.

“Neighbours should make a note of any movement of stock, particularly if it’s at an unusual time of the year,” he said.

“If possible, make a note of any suspicious vehicle’s registration number and a description and direction of the vehicle and what it was carrying.”

■ YEAR 13 PRANKS

Getting to school in leisurely style

By Noah Graham

Noah.g@theguardiaN.co.Nz

Mount Hutt College Year 13 students are celebrating their last week of school in diesel-guzzling style.

Nine of the students drove to school in tractors yesterday to celebrate their final days of education and to start their end-ofyear pranks.

Year 13 student, and proud driver of a 1963 David Brown tractor, Hamish Begg said it was really good to drive the tractor to school, even if it did take longer than normal.

“Usually takes 15 minutes to get to school, today it took an hourand-a-half.”

The 45 Year 13 students had also dressed up with a tourism theme in mind and will continue their pranks today to finish off their final hours in class.

■ TINWALD ACCIDENT

Be safe with fireworks

Motorcyclist named

By ColiN ENGElBrECht coliN.e@theguardiaN.co.Nz

The man who passed away following a motorcycle crash on Wednesday can now be named.

Dayle Julian Barker, 43, from Ashburton, died after the motorcycle he was riding collided with a Hilton Haulage milk tanker on State Highway 1 in Tinwald.

Police released the name early yesterday afternoon.

Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield said the bike collided with the truck just before 2pm on Wednesday. The man was taken to Ashburton Hospital but died shortly after, despite efforts by passersby to drag him away from the burning wreckage of his bike.

The section of State Highway 1 was closed for several hours after the crash while the cause of the incident was investigated by the Serious Crash Unit. It is still under investigation.

The fireworks season is upon us and along with sales comes a raft of warnings from local groups.

Ashburton Fire Brigade station officer Murray Cairns said people should be vigilant around fireworks and make sure pets are well looked after.

He said the fire service is now monitoring every fireworks-related incident and recording them so they can get a better handle on how many there are each year.

The New Zealand Fire Service recommends reading and understanding the instructions on fireworks and making sure they are used in a clear area.

Ashburton District emergency management officer Don Geddes said a bucket of water or hose should be kept nearby so they can suppress a fire if necessary.

He also suggested animals should be kept inside, and, if possible, moved away from the area that fireworks are being used.

Firies to battle it out on West Street

By ColiN eNgelBreCht colin.e@theguardian.co.nz

Some of Canterbury’s finest firefighters will arrive in Ashburton to compete in the Canterbury Provincial Fire Brigades Association Firefighter Combat Challenge tomorrow.

The event is being held in the West Street carpark and will begin at 9am.

Ashburton chief fire officer Alan Burgess said either individuals or teams could enter.

He said the challenge was similar to other firefighter combat challenges and competitors would be required to complete various physical activities, including climbing a tower, dragging a dummy and moving an object called a keiser sled with a sledgehammer.

A keiser sled is a weight on a track used to simulate the level of effort needed in a forced entry into a building.

“From a fitness and skill point of view it’s pretty good value,” Burgess said.

There is expected to be around 30 competing teams, and the event will run for up to five hours.

Warren Maslin, who is involved with the Canterbury Provincial Fire Brigades’ Association, said the competition helps improve the skills of firefighters.

All brigades in Canterbury were invited to take part, as well as West Coast and Otago/ Southland brigades.

Ashburton’s oldest resident Rita Turtill, celebrating her 106th birthday.

Regal Rita turns 106

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Happily settled on her throne, crown nestled on her immaculately-groomed white hair, Rita Turtill accepted flowers and presents and greeted guests at her 106th birthday party with a wave and a gentle smile.

She might have joined the elite ranks as one of New Zealand’s oldest residents, but Rita is still fit, healthy and, apart from a few hearing problems, she says she’s in great shape.

Yesterday as she celebrated first with morning tea shared with fellow residents at Cameron Courts and later with friends, relations and daughter Judy Glen at afternoon tea, Rita admitted to being quietly delighted to be celebrating

another birthday. She still plays housie each week, is agile enough to climb on board a mini-bus for regular outings and carefully chooses the clothing and the jewellery she wears each day.

As friends gathered, Rita was every inch the gracious lady as she accepted gifts and flowers, but when it came to telling tales about her life and longevity she was reluctant to share.

“What I did in my life was what I wanted to do. I’ve had a career and I’ve had a good life. We only want to tell the good stories,” she said.

Rita doesn’t use her age as an excuse to lie in bed in the mornings.

“I’m the oldest so you should be getting me up and showered first,” she told staff. That request to be first up in the morning comes after

she’s eaten her regular breakfast, porridge and cream.

Looking back and knowing she was a sickly child, Rita says she’s still surprised to be living well past her 100th birthday. Happiness and being satisfied with your lot in life were two keys to staying healthy, she said.

She might be 106, but she’s still happy and can often being heard singing to herself as she potters around her Cameron Courts home.

Rita was born in Christchurch but moved with her family to Ashburton when her father Frank Smallbone opened a garage on Cass Street. She went on to establish a career as a seamstress and later became factory manager at garment manufacturer Stylemas-

ter in Christchurch before meeting her husband Hubert Humphrey on a blind date.

Hubert was a professional cyclist who won both New Zealand and Australian titles. The couple settled in Christchurch and had two children, Judy and the late Tyrrell. She returned to Ashburton in 1990. She continued to drive until she was 95 and lived independently until she was 97.

Her 106-year milestone now puts her among New Zealand’s 20 oldest residents on the gerontology chart as at November 2.

The oldest is currently Madeline Anderson, 109 years and 182 days. There are two people aged 109, seven aged 108; six aged 107 and, now that Rita has joined their ranks, there are five 106 year olds.

More cans than kids

Music at domain The Ashburton Domain will echo to the sound of band music on Sunday when two bands, one orchestra and a music club tune up for an afternoon of entertainment. The annual Ashburton Civic Music Council Bands in the Park festival starts at 2pm. Access to the concert venue is from West Street. Participating bands are the Ashburton Pipe Band, Ashburton Silver Band, Ashburton MSA Orchestra and the Ashburton Electronic Organ and Keyboard Club. A collection will be taken during the afternoon with proceeds going to the participating groups.

Wakanui School is overflowing with tinned goods.

The school has collected more than 130 cans of food for the nationwide Wattie’s Cans for Good competition.

All of the stockpiled cans will be donated to the Salvation Army on November 14 and Watties will match the school’s contributions.

Wakanui School Year 2 and 3 teacher Courtney Cox praised the students’ efforts and hopes the school will have around 300 cans in total for the Salvation Army.

She said it was a great cause and the students had raided their pantry cupboards to get as many cans as they could, which has surpassed the number of students.

■ WCOPA AUDITIONS

Is it your time to shine?

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.N@theguardiaN.co.Nz

If you can dance, sing, play a musical instrument or have an act that can wow a crowd, then an opportunity is coming that could see you hit the big time.

Ashburton has scored itself a performing arts coup in securing hosting rights to one of a series of auditions for places in the New Zealand team to compete in next year’s World Championships of the Performing Arts (WCOPA) in Los Angeles.

Local event organiser Joanne Wakelin said the auditions were open to anyone from seven years of age through to adult with performance talent that made them stand out.

She knows through experience that winning a place in the New Zealand team can change lives.

Her daughter Hannah is now studying dance in New York on a scholarship won through com-

need to be new or original works, those auditioning should perform a routine, an act or a song they were confident and comfortable with. The important thing, Wakelin said was to perform something that made it very clear you

peting in the WCOPA event two years ago.

Ashburton was allocated an audition date because it has a record of producing many talented performers, Wakelin said.

“A lot of parents just don’t re-

“

If they’re [your children] doing well here, they could be right up there with the best ...

alise the talent of their children.

If they’re doing well here, they could be right up there with the best around Canterbury or the country,” she said.

Audition performances don’t

had talent.

“There’s no set routine, just do whatever you can to show what you can do. And there’s nothing to be lost from having a go and auditioning, even the audition will be

a good learning experience,” she said.

The New Zealand team is usually between 15 and 20 strong, but numbers depend on the performers who catch the judges’ eyes.

In the past the South Island has been well represented. While numbers turning up to the Christchurch auditions may be fewer than in Auckland, the numbers making the cut are generally high.

Competitors in the World Championships of Performing Arts compete for gold, silver and bronze medals as well as more than $US380,000 in scholarships.

Auditions will be held in the Ashburton College auditorium on November 20 between 10.30am and 3pm.

People wanting to audition should pre-register and they can do this by emailing jwakelin@ snap.net.nz or dina@wcopanz. com or by phoning 027 4313-555.

Ashburton’s Burnett Street should be off the motoring route from Monday as work gets under way on water main renewal. The Ashburton District Council is advising people to expect traffic delays along the street until work is completed on December 20. Onstreet parking and traffic speeds will be reduced throughout the period as trenches are dug for new piping. For more information on the water main renewal, visit www. ashburtondc.govt.nz

Chch meth ring busted Canterbury police say they have exposed a methamphetamine supply ring in Christchurch after they executed searches of several addresses across the city.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of methamphetamine, cash, motor vehicles and synthetic drugs were seized during the operation on Wednesday. Three men were arrested and were due to appear in court yesterday on a range of charges.

Submarine spotted A submarine was spotted in Auckland yesterday morning. But there’s no need to worry, it’s just the Aussies dropping in for a party.

The HMAS Dechaineux has popped across the ditch to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Royal New Zealand Navy. A witness told the Herald that she saw what she believed was a big, black, militarysized submarine cruising near Queens Wharf and past the ferry building about 10.30.

Shellfish toxin warning in Canty

New Zealand is the most prosperous country in the world, according to calculations by a Londonbased think tank.

The 2016 Legatum Prosperity Index, which ranks 149 countries is glowing in its praise of the country and says it is a model for delivering both wellbeing and wealth.

New Zealand came first, followed by Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Canada and Australia.

Yemen came 149th.

“New Zealand is quite simply the blueprint for achieving prosperity,” said indices director Alexandra Mousavizadeh.

The index measures economic quality, business environment, governance, education, health, safety and security, personal freedom, social capital and the natural environment.

New Zealand was ranked first in economic quality and social capital and topped Australia in all categories except health and education.

The top performing countries: New Zealand, Finland, the UK, Canada, and Australia had open markets, high levels of personal freedom, and strong civil society in common, Legatum said.

Last year New Zealand was ranked fourth overall, behind Norway, Switzerland and Denmark.

Seafood lovers should continue to avoid eating shellfish collected from the Canterbury coastline between Ashburton River mouth north to Gore Bay because of marine toxins.

The Ministry for Primary Industries yesterday extended its public health warning after tests on shellfish samples showed levels of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning toxins above the safe limit of 0.16 mg/kg.

Canterbury medical officer of health Dr Alistair Humphrey said anyone eating shellfish from this area was potentially at risk of illness.

Symptoms of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning typically appear within half an hour and can last for 24 hours, and might include diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea and abdominal cramps.

However, paua, crab and crayfish can still be eaten if the gut has been completely removed prior to cooking, as toxins accumulate in the gut, Dr Humphrey said.

“If the gut is not removed, its

contents could contaminate the meat during the cooking process,” he said.

Authorities first issued a warning on the shellfish on October 13.

The results were detected as part of routine testing, with authorities taking shellfish and seawater samples for testing every week from popular gathering areas around the country. - NZME

Pool fencing rules change

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Almost 30 years after they were first drawn up, the rules around swimming pool fencing legislation have had a common sense shakeup says a local authority building expert.

Ashburton District Council building services manager Michael Wong says the government’s new Building (pools) Amendment Bill, effective from January 1, clarifies a number of issues, relaxes some rules but tightens others.

One of the most significant changes comes in spa pool fencing, Wong said.

Currently all lockable lid spa pools must be fenced. From January 1 those having a lockable lid and that are built more than 760mm from the deck will no longer have to be fenced. Spa pools between ground level and 760mm above ground will still need secure fencing.

Pool owners will have the option of using an alarmed gate or door rather than automatically

locking gates and the definition of child has also changed, from five to four years of age.

Probably the most significant changes for the council, Wong said, will be that it will no longer automatically know where new pools are being installed.

While a consent is not needed for a pool one has been required for a pool fence. That meant every new pool was automatically logged on the council’s register.

“Now with the new rules we might not even know about the

pool. It’s the retailers’ responsibility to tell the owner they need to register that pool with the council,’ he said.

There have also been changes in the area of compliance and prosecution.

“If someone previously failed compliance with fencing, the only way to deal with this was through the courts, we had to go down the prosecution line. Now we can issue a notice to fix and give them a time frame.”

Local authorities can no long-

er exempt a pool from fencing regulations and inspections will be every three years rather than every five.

The Ashburton council is well through its inspection of the 850 pools on its register and is finding it can strike many of those off the list. About 200 of the 570 inspected to date have been removed and they are not being replaced in the same numbers. In 2014 7 new pools were installed, with 15 in 2015. This year to date there have been only four installations.

NZ was targeted by terrorists

BY DAVID FISHER Concrete evidence has emerged that there has been an actual attempt to carry out a terrorist attack on New Zealand soil.

The security services will release no details of how the plot was foiled or when it emerged, although the system which was activated to deal with it has only been in existence for two years.

The existence of the threat came from the newly-released National Security System handbook. It stated the system – which triggers a special set of protocols – had been activated for a “threat of a domestic terrorist incident”.

The National Security System is New Zealand’s highest-level response to the most serious threats against our country. It is led by a committee chaired by the Prime Minister and brings together key officials from intelligence services, police, the military and other departments – depending on the threat – to

co-ordinate a response.

It is activated in cases where there is a risk to “the security or safety of New Zealanders or people in New Zealand”, our sovereignty, the economy and environment or “the effective functioning of the community”.

No further information on the nature of the threat was forthcoming from Prime Minister John Key and NZ Security Intelligence Service director Rebecca Kitteridge. The Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, which co-ordinates responses, also would not supply details.

A spokesman for Key’s office said: “As the Prime Minister has said, New Zealand is not immune from the threat of terrorism, although the threat to New Zealand remains low.

“Our intelligence agencies play an important role in identifying, monitoring and reacting to any domestic threats in order to keep New Zealanders safe, both at home and abroad.

“The Government has in-

creased their resources to allow them to better carry out their duties as well as increased the level of transparency and oversight to ensure they are doing so appropriately.”

The newly-released annual report from the Inspector General of intelligence and Security, Cheryl Gwyn, said there had been one case of the NZSIS needing an urgent warrant for visual surveillance of a target or targets. She said it was the first time since a law change in late 2014 that the NZSIS had needed to urgently spy on someone without going through the legal process.

She said that the warrantless spying was followed up by a formal approach to get a warrant allowing the surveillance to continue.

The urgency of the request showed the need for information trumped the legal process, meaning it could be linked to an imminent domestic terrorist attack.

Seclusion rooms in schools to be banned Education Minister Hekia Parata has been forced to defend the year it took to investigate controversial seclusion rooms in schools on a day she announced the Government was moving to ban them.

Ms Parata announced yesterday the Government would introduce a law to outlaw the practice in schools and early childhood centres.

“In today’s world there is no situation where it is acceptable for seclusion to be used in schools or early childhood education services, so I want to make that clear in the law,” Ms Parata said.

A letter from the Secretary of Education would be sent to all schools to make clear that no school should be using seclusion.

Seclusion rooms, where students are involuntarily put in a room where they cannot volutnarily exit, differ from time out where students are put into an unlocked room, sensory room or other agreed space to calm down, Ms Parata said.

But Green Party education spokeswoman Catherine Delahunty has criticised Ms Parata, saying the action had taken too long.

Hekia Parata “It’s a bit rich for Hekia Parata to now claim credit for making seclusion rooms illegal, when she could have taken this action more than a year ago when seclusion rooms were first in the media,” she said.

Ms Parata defended the timeframe, saying a complex set of issues had to be fully investigated and she was happy it took the necessary time to establish the facts.

Asked why she didn’t start a full investigation into the use of seclusion rooms around the country after the first complaint came to light, she said it was a matter of priorities and at the time only a single complaint had been made.

The district council’s surveys tell us our satisfaction level with these is always very high. If we were surveyed right now, however, satisfaction levels would have dropped to the bottom of the chart.

Ask anyone what they think of the state of Baring Square east.

It’s like opening a Pandora’s box of complaints – “we had a beautiful square and now it’s ruined...” “it’s an eyesore, something to be ashamed of…” “it’s disappointing…” the complaints keep coming.

And that’s absolutely right.

Baring Square east is a mess.

Removing the flowering cherry trees was a controversial exercise. People complained and quite rightly.

Those trees were picture perfect in the spring, but the reasons given were sound – the trees were past their use-by-date and were dying off. Time for them to go.

And most of us reluctantly accepted the advice of experts believing the tree removal was part of a plan that would result in a better square for the future.

We trusted the council to quickly return the square to its position as a central town sanctuary.

That hasn’t happened and we’re quite right in feeling let down.

Today we have a place of mottled concrete, prehistoric whalebone ribs that have to go and grass that belongs in an urban wasteland.

Clearly the council’s parks staff are under pressure – too much work, too little money, too few people and increasing legislative demands for every job to be carried out in a politically correct and health and safety conscious manner.

Something has to give and with the best will in the world it seems to have been Baring Square. We’ve been left with an embarrassingly shabby entrance to the CBD that does nothing to encourage visitors – or locals into town.

Baring Square has the potential to be an attraction in its own right; that potential is yet to be realised.

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Is November too early to start celebrating Christmas?

Yes 89%

No 11%

Today’s online poll question Q: Do you think cattle rustling is an issue in the district?

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

I

’m not sure what scientists are doing messing with chocolate but I guess they are on the right track.

Science just made milk chocolate healthy like dark chocolate.

The virtues of noshing on dark chocolate have long been extolled, but now scientists at North Carolina State University have managed to infuse milk chocolate with a powder made of phenolic compounds from peanut skins, substances that boast antioxidant abilities and fend off cell damage from cancer, heart disease, and other conditions.

A subsequent taste test has found most people given regular milk chocolate and the peanutskin-altered version like both samples pretty much the same.

The process could help reduce waste as peanut skins are currently nothing more than leftovers after peanuts undergo the blanching process.

I can see one major problem with this, all those people with peanut allergies. What’s next?

“We’re sorry, no chocolate is allowed on the airplane either.”

Like it or not, Christmas is just seven weeks away. Has this year flown by or what?

I am always on the lookout for something quirky and unique to give my family. I have found three options that fit into that category. The first one I am in no rush to give, but I am ordering the second for my kids ASAP. Idea number one: People who reject the idea of a traditional burial can have their cremated remains interred in an hourglass, pressed into a vinyl record, even made into diamonds.

Now they can also opt for their ashes to be transformed into … a coffee mug.

Chronicle Cremation Designs in Santa Fe promises to transform your loved one’s ashes into ceramic design objects for your home.

Customers supply the ashes (about a cup, or 100g) via a collection kit, and, in turn, Chronicle Cremation Design mixes them into a glaze to cover pottery.

Options include bowls, candleholders, necklace pendants, and vases. And yes, the ceramics are functional: once fired in the kiln, they are safe for eating or drinking purposes.

I guess it’s one way to stop your workmates from using your coffee cup eh?

Idea number two: Nothing helps you greet the

day like watching a dog poop and if you don’t have your own dog, now you have the advantage of looking at a dog pooping every time you check the date. Yep, you can now celebrate the new year with the 2017 Pooping Pooches calendar.

I can’t wait to see the kids’ faces and hear their comments when they open these.

Idea number three:

For the person who loves a craft beer this Christmas.

What goes best with swanky beer? Swanky potato chips, apparently.

For a measly $11.20 – per chip – you can enjoy what Sweden’s St Eriks Brewery describes as the world’s most exclusive potato chips.

Brew masters were apparently unhappy with ordinary snacks alongside St Eriks India Pale Ale and decided to enlist the Swedish National Culinary Team to create a snack to match the status of its first-class beer.

The result: 100 boxes containing just five potato chips each, made by hand using exclusive ingredients like Matsutake mushrooms and truffle seaweed. The price: $56 per box.

I’ll stick with the salt and vinegar thanks.

Quakes hurt economy

The Lanzi company has been curing hams in the Italian town of Norcia for over half a century. It’s a family business, employing owner David Lanzi’s five children as well as 60 locals.

All of that is now at risk, after Sunday’s earthquake knocked down the walls of the company’s cured meats production site. Lanzi, 78, is working day and night to secure the produce, clean up rubble and seek state aid. Most of the employees are homeless and sleep in cars or tents. Without aid, the business will go under.

Norcia, one of the towns most heavily hit by the 6.6-magnitude quake, is known for its cured hams. Lanzi has 15 million euros in annual revenue and is facing 1.5 million euros in estimated damages from the quake, which was the third major shock since August.

Commerce officials say the quake affected an area of central Italy with some 10,000 businesses, hitting hardest the artisans who account for 90 percent of the economic turnover.

Dairy businesses and the makers of prized hams have seen their warehouses dam-

Cured hams hang in a damaged plant in Norcia, Italy, an area whose local economy has been hit hard by recent earthquakes.

PHOTO AP aged and are struggling to distribute stock before it spoils.

The tourism sector is all but dead for the foreseeable future.

And small artisans are facing supply and delivery interruptions.

Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has pledged to rebuild homes, churches and businesses, which will be key to re-establishing the economic motor for the quake zone.

The head of the association of artisanal businesses in one

of the Marche region’s provinces, said logistics are the biggest obstacles facing businesses. Manufacturing bases in particular were outside the city centres that suffered the worst collapses, but damage to roads means many companies either can’t get supplies or can’t ship their wares. .

With many people displaced to coastal areas, Migliore said there are increasing discussions about moving production to safer ground and away

from the mountains traversed by fault lines.

Disrupted transportation is especially keenly felt by the many small agricultural producers, especially those with livestock.

“Very often these producers sell their meat and cheese directly to tourists, and they suffered damaged barns with the roofs caved in and damage also to their own homes.

While other citizens of these areas can move to the coast, these producers need to stay close to their businesses,” said Francesco Fucili, the president of Coldiretti in Macerata province.

The Coldiretti farm lobby says dairy farmers no longer have places to deliver their milk as many cheese producers have stopped work because of damage to their production sites.

Damaged barns have left some 60,000 cows, sheep and swine without safe shelter heading into winter. As a result, some of the livestock either must be sold to other farmers to fatten up, or find places for quick slaughter.

“It is not easy to resolve these issues, Fucili said.

Bryan Cranston will move Actor Bryan Cranston wouldn’t hesitate to move to Canada if Donald Trump is elected America’s next president. The Breaking Bad star is a Los Angeles native, but he insists he would pack his bags and relocate his family to Vancouver if the Republican property tycoon and reality star beats Democratic rival Hillary Clinton to the White House on November 8.

Cranston’s comments echo those already made by fellow celebrities Whoopi Goldberg, Barbra Streisand, Rosie O’Donnell, and Lena Dunham, but Bryan refuses to believe a Trump presidency will actually become a reality.

British cardinal apologises for adoptions The head of the Catholic Church in Britain has apologised for the hurt caused to young unmarried mothers who say they were pressured to give up their babies for adoption in the years after World War Two .

Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, says practices by adoption agencies acting in the name

of the Catholic Church were “lacking in care and sensitivity”, during that period.

It comes as lawyers investigating the issue called on Home Secretary Amber Rudd to launch a public inquiry into the scandal.

The Cardinal’s apology features in an ITV documentary, Britain’s Adoption Scandal:

Breaking The Silence, in which women speak about their traumatic experiences of having their babies adopted via the Catholic Church, the Church of England and the Salvation Army, among other organisations.

Following allegations made in the programme, the Cardinal said: “The Catholic Church

understands and acknowledges the grief and pain caused by the giving up of a child through adoption.

“The practices of all adoption agencies reflected the social values at that time. We apologise for the hurt caused by agencies acting in the name of the Catholic Church.”

Bob Dylan’s art on show Nigeria gets The timing couldn’t be better for the opening of “The Beaten Path,” a major exhibit of Bob Dylan’s artworks at the Halcyon Gallery on London’s pricey New Bond Street.

Worldwide interest in the veteran American troubadour has soared after his surprising choice as this year’s winner of the Nobel Prize in literature and the show is one of the most extensive displays ever mounted of his drawings, watercolours, acrylics and ironworks.

The 75-year-old singer has said he will accept the Nobel in person in Stockholm if he can fit it into his demanding tour schedule — and the gallery hopes he will stop off in London to visit the show.

The extensive exhibit reflects growing appreciation for Dylan’s art, which has been featured in gallery and museum shows in a number of countries in recent years.

The paintings at the

London gallery reflect Dylan’s nearly constant travels throughout the United States. The choice of subject matter reflects a deep affinity for the American scene, an abiding affection for its curious roadside attractions and respect for its industrial might.

Dylan writes in a preface that he chose to ignore corporate America: “The common theme of these works having something to do with the American landscape — how you see it while crisscrossing the land and seeing it for what it’s worth. Staying out of the mainstream and traveling the back roads, free born style.”

Dylan paints the Wigwam Motel in Arizona — guests can sleep in purported native-American style lodging — the Brooklyn Ice Cream factory at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City and the Harem Slave carnival sideshow in Ala-

bama. There is a painting of the Paradise Motel looking anything but, its grounds in Florida overgrown and its buildings neglected.

It’s a panoramic view of America similar to the one described in his kaleidoscopic 1975 song Tangled Up In Blue.

The sense is of Dylan as a solitary figure with a sketchbook, looking at the country from odd angles.

“Dylan was born in small town America,” said Green.

“He’s done hundreds of tour dates for many, many years, and often played in the small towns.

He takes the hot dog stand, or the motel, whether it’s open or closed. It’s his view of America. It harks back to the ‘50s and ‘60s — Jack Kerouac, the road — and how important the road is for all Americans.

It shows really his love for America and all things American.”

$600m loan

The African Development Bank says it is loaning Nigeria $600 million to help with a budget deficit of $7 billion.

A bank statement Wednesday says another $400 million will be approved next year if the government implements reforms to economize on government costs, combat corruption and promote diversification in Africa’s biggest economy.

Nigeria is struggling through its first recession in 20 years, caused by low oil prices, militant attacks that have cut petroleum production and a heavy dependence on oil that provides 90 percent of exports and 70 percent of government revenue.

Nigeria had requested the loan in February. It has failed to raise another $4 billion to plug the deficit.

Nigeria’s Senate refused Tuesday to consider President Muhammadu Buhari’s request to seek $30 billion in foreign loans.

Taylor Swift highest paid Taylor Swift has been named the highestpaid woman in music for 2016 in Forbes’ annual list. In an ironic twist, last year’s winner was Swift’s arch rival, Katy Perry.

According to Forbes, the Shake It Off singer’s staggering $US170 million haul was largely due to her 1989 World Tour, which pulled in more than a quarter of a billion dollars. She also appeared in commercials for brands including Keds, Diet Coke and Apple. Trailing behind Swift was Adele, who placed second with $US80.5 million thanks to massive album sales for 25 - which delivered Adele her highest annual earnings to date.

Beyonce stars at awards Pop superstar Beyonce helped celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Country Music Awards with a secret and boisterous performance of her song Daddy Lessons with the Dixie Chicks.

Beyonce hit the stage unintroduced when the show was about two-thirds over. She looked happy and comfortable, dancing and clapping. The performance got a standing ovation. Daddy Lessons, on her recent album Lemonade, is as close to a country song that Beyonce’s ever released. The Dixie Chicks started covering the song on tour earlier this year.

ANZ Bank posts fall in earnings

The US Federal Reserve also met and as expected held interest rates steady. Just a week out from the election it would be unwise for the committee to interfere in the political landscape. However, the Fed said that the case for a rate rise has continued to strengthen. There is now a 78 per cent chance that there will be a hike in December, and this could be solidified over the weekend as the latest non-farm payrolls report is released. Expectations are for an increase of 175,000 jobs, well above the September increase of 156,000 but slightly below the average for the year of 178,000.

Locally, the Global Dairy Trade auction held this week yielded a massive jump in the GDT index, as lower volumes gave way to large price rises. The index rose 11.4 per cent from the previous auction, taking the average price to $3,327 per tonne. Whole milk powder, a key category for New Zealand farmers saw an astronomical rise, climbing 19.8 per cent to the highest level July 2014. The rise has given the dairy sector a further sentiment boost and could give way to a further increase in the forecast payout for the season.

Third quarter labour data from New Zealand was announced this week and it too was positive, with the unemployment rate falling below five per cent for the first time since December 2004.

The participation rate reached an all-time high of 70.1 per cent however, it is difficult to compare this to previous measures as the methodology has changed.

These numbers point to a tightening labour market although wage growth was muted, with annual wage inflation rising to 1.6 per cent. For the first time in six years, wage growth for the public sector exceeded that of the private sector, gaining 1.7 per cent and 1.6 per cent respectively.

China published some positive data this week with both the official and the Caixin Purchasing Managers Indexes (PMI) being released. Expectations were for both indices to remain unchanged from the previous month, however in reality the readings came in well above these levels. The official PMI came in at 51.2, beating expectations of a 50.4.

The Caixin PMI rose to 51.2 as well, much higher than last month’s 50.1. The promising data has buoyed sentiment that the world’s second largest economy is growing again after months of stagnation.

Next week, the US Presidential election will be held and this will definitely be front of mind for investors. In New Zealand we also have the Reserve Bank of New Zealand meeting and the market is currently showing a 79.7 per cent chance that there will be a rate cut, taking the official cash rate to an all-time low of 1.75 per cent.

arkets have slid this week as the turmoil from the US Presidential race heats up.

Adding to what has already been a campaign period full of scandal, the FBI announced that they would be reopening the investigation into Democratic Nominee Hillary Clinton’s emails.

The revelation has had a major influence on polling and showed Republican candidate Donald Trump ahead in some polls.

The uncertainty and threat of Trump actually winning the election has seen a huge sell off across the globe and a scurry to safe haven assets by investors.

Some market commentators are saying that should Trump win, the subsequent fall out will be worse than Brexit.

Election aside, it has been a really busy week in terms of economic news with four major central bank meetings, starting with the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Bank of Japan (BOJ) on Tuesday.

The RBA’s decision to hold the cash rate at the all-time low of 1.50 per cent was expected however the commentary that accompanied the decision was far more upbeat than previous statements, spurring speculation that the central bank’s next move could be a rise, although this would still be some time away.

The Bank of Japan also held rates at -0.10 per cent and reiterated policy changes from the last meeting, which includes a zero target on 10 year government bonds and its bond purchasing programme. The BOJ made changes to inflation expectations, pushing back the time frame for hitting its two per cent inflation target.

■ FORD RANGER PXII

Refined performance and efficiency

O

ver the years my off-road cycling mate, long-time Gluyas Motors identity and staunch Ford man John Robinson has, on biking trips, experienced the comfort of Navaras, Hiluxs and a Colorado. But never a Ranger.

Well JR’s dreams came true when the arrival of a new Ranger XLT test vehicle coincided with a bike trip a couple of months ago.

For him this seemed to be pretty much like the proverbial pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

And so to the end of the Rainbow (Road) we went, with side trips, and cycling on the magnificent St James’ Station. Thereon, the1308 metre Maling Pass proved a challenge for both bikes and riders, but with a little foot-cycling, we knocked it off!

OK, back to this upgraded Ranger whose new grille and even larger and bolder front means it has an obvious family connection to the US bred F-150.

As JR caressed the door handle when getting in, he was overheard saying to himself “this will be the best ride ever!”

So let’s see how this XLT (there’s a 14 model XL, XLT and Wildtrak range) builds on the previous model’s combination of power, comfort and lifestyle prowess.

All of which, of course, made it the number one vehicle in New Zealand for 2015.

The updated, genuine five-seat cabin has an even better airy, spacious feel to it, with a new dash and revised materials

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

throughout. Although it’s even more comfortable and car-like, there’s a durable feel to it. The dash now has new dials and an 8-inch touchscreen complete with colourcoded corners for easy menu navigation.

Plus there’s SYNC2. This now more responsive system allows most of the comfort, sat-nav and entertainment functions to be voice operated – such as 22 degrees, play AC/DC, etc, and using voice commands minimised the fingerprints on the big screen. Seat-wise, those in the front proved to be impressively comfortable

over all terrain travelled. There’s a host of equipment and driver aids – including rain-sensing wipers, dual-zone climate air, reversing camera, rear parking sensors, both 12 and 240-volt power sockets.

Mind you the heart of the Ranger is still the 3.2-litre, five-cylinder diesel.

While this upgraded engine still puts out 147 kW of forceful power, and 470 Nm of torque, both it and the six-speed auto have been modified and recalibrated for more performance, refinement and efficiency.

The result, even when towing a 6-metre

camper, was the constant availability of responsive grunt, helped of course by the eager auto, making the most of this by constantly coming up with the right gear for the occasion. That meant effortless cruising and ease of maintaining impressive average speeds. Overtaking was a mere formality, and there has also been lots done to fine-tune the suspension for comfort and even better handling.

As expected, the ride needs to be on the firmer side, but the way it’s set up is great, for it’s smooth and comfortable on the seal, then like-wise in the rugged stuff.

Also, with how quiet it was, I had to keep reminding myself I was driving a ute.

Through corners, the new progressivelyweighted electric steering was both precise and informative, and nice and light for low-speed manoeuvres.

Off-road we didn’t encounter serious mud and with the engine’s low-down grunt, 4WD H was great.

There’s a locking rear diff, plus hill start and downhill assist.

RAM gets macho overhaul W

ith a 6.7 litre engine beating under its massive bonnet and an on-road presence that can really only be described as ‘massive’ you could be forgiven for thinking that the mighty RAM truck, which is now available in New Zealand from dealers right across the country, is already sufficiently macho.

But RAM’s designers and engineers, aided by their Mopar accessory colleagues, had other thoughts when it came to preparing a special RAM Truck for SEMA, the world’s largest accessory, tuning and aftermarket show, which has just opened its doors in Las Vegas.

So, say hello to the RAM Macho Power Wagon, in a colour described by the company as ‘Macho Mango’.

The showing stopping RAM owes its moniker to a popular Power Wagon trim level from the 1970s, and the heavy-duty pickup lives up to its audacious namesake.

The Mopar-modified RAM is a bold take on the Power Wagon’s reputation for off-road capability with added versatility delivered by Mopar concept and production products.

That adaptability is showcased in the six foot load bed of the Macho Power Wagon, where a Mopar concept Satin Black accessory sliding RamRack securely stores toys to fit a variety of lifestyles.

The Ram Rack is designed to neatly slide

up and stow under the cab’s sail panel when not in use. The bed rack works in concert with a RamRack roof system that locks down items with six tie downs.

The Ram Macho Power Wagon is elevated by a four-inch custom lift kit and giant

37-inch x 12 1/2-inch Nitto Trail Grappler MT tires, set on 18-inch beadlock wheels.

The vibrant Macho Mango body colour, which also extends to the beadlock wheel rings, is accented with painted black graphics on the side and rear. The

concept, aggressive hood is Satin Black, and a new front bumper is equipped for the trail with a winch, winch guard and tow hooks.

Further exterior customisations include one-piece Mopar concept off-road running boards, larger concept fender flares, low-gloss black door handles and a 21-inch heavyduty light bar and LED clearance lights on the roof. Black RAM lettering on the grille and body sides is outlined in Macho Mango. Macho Mango also colours the steering wheel Ram logo and the trim on the gauges, HVAC, infotainment center and side door panels.

Under the hood is a 6.4-litre Hemi V8 engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. A Mopar cold-air intake injects added performance and concept, dual-wall five-inch Mopar exhaust tips are black-powder coated and provide a deeper note.

Back in New Zealand its worth pointing out that the RAM Trucks for the local market are actually the Heavy Duty versions of the RAM Truck on which the Macho Power Wagon is based, so it could be argued that the New Zealand RAMs are even more awe-inspiring than those on display at SEMA. The RAM Truck range opens in New Zealand with the RAM 2500 Laramie with a recommended retail price of $163,000 plus on road costs.

■ ROVER SD1

Ron’s a Rover man T

hroughout its long and illustrious history the Rover Car Company has gained a well-deserved reputation for producing stylish and luxurious cars.

As well as being beautifully finished, their cars have often been ahead of their time technically and design-wise.

Never was this more obvious than in 1976 when Rover unveiled their SD1 model.

SD1 is both the code name and eventual production name given to a series of executive cars built by British Leyland under the Rover marque.

It was produced through its specialist Rover Triumph and Austin Rover divisions from 1976 until 1986.

Quickly accepted by the motoring press, in 1977 the SD1 won the European Car of the Year title.

Recently Rover enthusiasts marked the 40th birthday of the stylish SD1 and brothers Edward and Miles Winchester were among those who attended a celebration in Christchurch.

It could be said Edward and Miles inherited their interest in Rovers from their parents Ron and Pam, who are well known enthusiasts.

Edward Winchester said the gathering was a great chance to catch with fellow enthusiasts and hear interesting speakers, including John Miller who was involved at the Nelson assembly plant and has written a book about it.

And of course Edward says he and Miles enjoyed seeing quite a few Rovers.

During the ten year period when they were built, several variants of the Rover SD1 were produced featuring a choice of engines and interior finishes, but apart from some cosmetic changes the unique and easily recognised body style stayed the same.

Model names included the Vitesse, Vanden Plas and Vanden Plas EFI and some models have become quite rare but the rarest are the Twin Plenum Vitesses.

These had two throttle bodies mounted on the plenum chamber instead of one and were produced in very small numbers as homologation for the twin-plenum racing Rovers.

By the way, we looked up homologation

and found it’s from the verb homologate, meaning “to approve or confirm officially”.

It defines the process of certifying or approving a product to indicate it meets regulatory standards and specifications, such as safety and technical requirements.

In this case two hundred cars had to be produced so that the Walkinshaw-tuned Rover race cars could complete in production classes.

And perhaps while we’re about let’s explain what a plenum is too.

In general it is the large open space of an airflow structure that is the open part, common to all passages.

The most common usage of the word in motoring terms is intake plenum which is part of the intake manifold between the carburettor or throttle body and where the air splits for each individual cylinder.

Getting back to the twin-plenum Rover racing cars, put simply they were incredible racing machines engineered by Walkinshaw Racing.

They produced huge horsepower and

within the Winchester family as The Vitamin.

So this begs two questions.

How did this special car come to be in New Zealand?

And how did Ron end up owning it?

To answer the first question, a gentleBernard Egan man from South Canterbury ordered the MOTORING car and travelled with his wife to London to take delivery of it.

They had arranged for it to be shipped did exceptionally well in the hands of leghome after they enjoyed some motoring endary drivers like the late Denny Hulme. in it.

The team left most of their competition Sadly the gentleman passed away while in the dust and among their successes overseas, but his wife still had the car notched up six British Touring Car Chamshipped back to New Zealand. pionships.

After some time and very little use the car was sold to a Rover enthusiast in Auckland.

The answer to the second question is that being the enthusiast he is Ron was always aware of the car and around 20 years ago had the opportunity to purchase it – an opportunity not to be missed.

The magnificent car, which is in original condition, has only travelled 50,000 miles.

It is believed to be just one of three examples of this model in New Zealand.

There are also three of the racing versions in this country.

There’s another question to answer as well – why did Ron Winchester become interested in Rovers, an interest which would lead to him being acknowledged – rightly so – as an authority on the marque?

Long story short, in his younger days while hitchhiking around Europe Ron was often given rides in Rovers.

He noticed two things, the owners One of the Rover race cars were always nice people and the cars really appealed because of their owned by Allan Scott.

The very best of British

B

ritish-based, bespoke, luxury sports car maker, David Brown Automotive, has released ‘Best of British’ images of three of its latest production-specification Speedback GTs in patriotic red, white and blue exterior paint finishes.

David Brown Automotive has come a long way since revealing the Speedback GT prototype in 2014.

The latest images show productionspecification cars numbered 003, 004 and 005, in colours that resemble those of the Union Flag, and which celebrate

the company’s growth and continued development as a proud, British automotive manufacturer.

At present, five cars have been sold, built and delivered to their new owners, with further cars in build.

The company currently has the capacity to produce six to ten cars each year with plans to increase this in the very near future.

David Brown Automotive uses a combination of engineering, stateof-the-art technology and traditional coachbuilding manufacturing techniques to build each car, which com-

prises 142 panels and highly sophisticated systems and electronics.

Through these specialist, low-volume processes, the Coventry-based sports car manufacturer is redefining modern coachbuilding to build its fully engineered, limited-edition, bespoke automobiles made from handformed aluminium with entirely handcrafted interiors, each and every one specially commissioned by the customer.

Each and every Speedback GT produced has a completely unique colour, which is developed by the company

for each owner and specially created for each individual car.

The cars pictured, painted in Ruby Tuesday, Blue Moon and White Knight, are painstakingly prepared, painted and lacquered over a period of eight weeks each, finished to achieve a rich, deep and flawless finish.

Priced at £495,000 exclusive of taxes, Speedback GT promises exceptional performance and handling, hosting a 5.0-litre V8 supercharged engine with 510bhp and 461ft lb of torque, hitting 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds with a top speed of 155mph (limited).

McLaren’s nemesis

B

riggs Automotive Company (BAC) has once again made history, as its Mono supercar has become the fastest ever road-legal car to be tested by evo magazine at the Anglesey Coastal Circuit.

With evo’s Richard Meaden in the cockpit, the bespoke British supercar set a truly breath-taking lap time of 1:07.70 seconds to beat the race-specific and slick-shod McLaren P1 GTR’s previous best of 1:08.70 by exactly one second.

The P1 GTR hypercar hit the evo Leaderboard summit last month by toppling the Radical RXC Turbo 500’s

time of 1:10.50, but even the most hardcore and focused interpretation of the P1 couldn’t compete with the Mono.

Sitting on Kumho’s Ecsta V70A tyres, the Mono simply surged around the 1.55-mile Coastal Circuit.

Its street-legal rubber stuck to the tarmac like magnets, as Meaden gained confidence and relished the accessible nature of the Mono’s power and precision.

In the final flying lap on a new set of tyres, the Mono made history by going a full second better than the £1.98 million P1 GTR hypercar’s seemingly unbeatable time and becoming the new pace benchmark.

The second-generation Mono features a new 2.5-litre Ford Duractec four-cylinder engine tuned by Mountune to deliver 305bhp and 310Nm of torque.

And as the supercar weighs just 580kg thanks to innovative, lightweight material used in its construction, its power-to-weight ratio is a staggering 525bhp per tonne.

Having set the fastest-ever Goodwood Festival of Speed Roadcar Hill Climb time last year and topped Top Gear’s Power Lap Leaderboard in 2013, the Mono is no stranger to track success, and its achievement in Anglesey is another example of its giant-killing

ability – much like its Hungaroring lap time of 1:54.00, nine seconds faster than a 458 Speciale. It also sets the scene for more iconic circuit record attempts to come in 2017.

The evo Anglesey Coastal Circuit Leaderboard is a fiercely competed series that has seen the biggest supercar brands in the world touch down in Anglesey looking to showcase their speedy creations.

From the Ferrari 458 Speciale to the Porsche 918 Spyder and McLaren 675LT, some of the fastest cars ever made have tried to scale evo’s Leaderboard, but BAC’s brilliance means they need to go back to the drawing board.

History has a way of catching up

R Perhaps not quite the right vehicle, but certainly the right era.

With a little help from their friends

W

hile hitch hiking around Europe and discovering his liking for Rover cars Ron Winchester had many interesting experiences, including being at Goodwood to see the late Chris Amon drive.

Ron who was living and working in

London at the time had become aware Chris Amon, an up-and-coming New Zealander, would be competing so he went to the meeting.

He saw Chris Amon, but never got to meet him, but he did have an interesting encounter on the day.

It rained and when Ron got back to

his car a van parked next to it was stuck in the mud. The van was owned by four young chaps with (by the standard of the time) long hair who were members of a band that entertained on the day.

Later when the four young mop tops became famous Ron realised he had assisted the Beatles.

ecently Gary Donaldson very kindly passed on his collection of early Guardian Motor Lines supplements produced way back in 2001.

They make fascinating reading and bring back some great memories.

Back then we included a fun column called Socket To Me in which various people’s misdemeanours – usually real but sometimes with a little bit of added licence – were reported.

One of our motoring writers is probably pleased we don’t share such matters these days.

Or at least he doesn’t think we do!

You see he had a doctor’s appointment, but on arrival there were several people at Reception so he decided to hold off reporting in until others were attended too.

He sat down picked up a motoring magazine and quite a while later thought he must be due to see his doctor, but because he hadn’t reported in and had got himself comfortable so to speak everyone understandably thought he was ahead of time and just waiting.

Perhaps he had been in a bit of a dream when his turn came around, but when those to quote them “lovely ladies” at reception – Eleanor, Fiona, Judith, Meren and Tracy – discovered what happened they magically rescheduled his appointment.

By the way their description of themselves is absolutely accurate.

We’re not sure why our motoring writer was seeing his doctor but obviously it wasn’t about insomnia! Apparently no one diagnosed snoring.

The surgery he attends shares its initials – AMC – with the American Motor Corporation (now part of Chrysler), we won’t embarrass our restful motoring writer by naming him but it’s only fair we say it wasn’t Roger.

What’s all the fuss about?

Big players missing for Kiwis

■ GOLF

Aorangi right on the pace The 2016 Diner Club Freyberg Masters Golf Tournament teed off at the Chisholm Park Golf Course in Dunedin on Monday, and the Aorangi team have been in fine form.

The Aorangi side consists of Jason Leary (Geraldine), Regan Stills (Tinwald), Jeremy Good-

man (Maungati), John Smitheram (Tinwald), Robbie Bell (Ashburton) and Ray Grant (Highfield).

The tournament brings out New Zealand’s best over-40 golfers from all 14 provinces.

After finishing ninth last year, the Aorangi team will be out to

return to the form they showed in 2014, when they placed second overall.

The team’s first two outings produced a solid win over Southland before a disappointing loss to Taranaki in blustery conditions.

Tasman were next up, and with

victories for Stills and Smitheram and losses for Bell and Goodman, it looked like a draw was on the cards, but Leary had other ideas, sinking a huge putt on the last hole to secure the win.

Aorangi then faced Hawke’s Bay on Wednesday afternoon and took out another fine 4-1 victory.

Foran on the training paddock today By david SkiPwith New Warriors signing Kieran Foran is expected to train alongside his new team-mates for the first time today as he continues to wait for his playing return to be approved by the NRL. Foran is recovering from shoulder surgery and until now has been restricted to training among the Warriors rehab group of players returning from injury.

New coach Stephen Kearney has been impressed with the positive changes Foran has made over the past three months and expects he will be ready to play from round one of next season, pending his clearance from the game’s governing body.

“I met Kieran three months ago and to see him now, he’s a totally different looking Kieran, to me,” said Kearney.

“At the moment he’s in a good place and got a smile on his face.

“We have just got to keep working on that.”

Foran was a keen observer from the sidelines at the club’s Mt Smart Stadium base on day two of the Warriors pre-season training.

The 26-year-old former Kiwis international will begin light duties today and look to improve his fitness in the lead-up to Christmas with plans for him to start full training in the new year.

Fairfax Media reported on Sunday that the NRL had issued Foran with a set of questions pertaining to his mental health, his betting habits and association with Sydney gambling identity Eddie Hayson.

Kearney was reluctant to discuss how talks were progressing but said Foran was comfort-

Kieran Foran able despite the uncertainty surrounding his situation.

“That’s something I can’t answer here today,” said Kearney.

“He’s working through that rehab process and I leave all of that other stuff to (managing director) Jim (Doyle).

“There’s a fair few boxes to tick so once he’s gone through that process I hope we’ll see him out on the park.

“You might see him out here tomorrow kicking balls.

“We’ll try and get him out here before Christmas.

“He won’t be doing full training, just getting into the running side of things, and then after Christmas he’ll be a bit further down the track.

“He wants to play tomorrow but he understands that he’s got a fair few hoops to jump through and boxes to tick, before that is the case and he’s working through a process to get his body right.

“He’ll be ready for the start of the season.”

The Kiwis have to overcome a significant hoodoo against the Kangaroos this weekend.

A victory in Coventry on Sunday will book a place in the Four Nations final – but can they defeat Australia without the presence of Simon Mannering and Kieran Foran?

History says it will be difficult.

The last time New Zealand beat Australia without either Mannering or Foran on the field was back in 2005, when the Kiwis recorded a brace of famous wins in the Tri Nations.

Since then, every trans-Tasman victory has included one, or both, of the duo.

Mannering was present for the 2008 World Cup final win in Brisbane, and the Four Nations victory the following year at the same ground.

Both players were key architects of the 2014 Four Nations triumph, with Foran particularly outstanding in the 30-12 win at Suncorp Stadium and Mannering a rock throughout the tournament.

The lock and five eight were also key figures in arguably New Zealand’s best performance this decade, the 26-12 thumping in the 2015 Anzac test.

And the last two defeats, in Newcastle and Perth, coincided with the absence of the pair.

Mannering is an auspicious loss.

He is one of the best defenders in the sport, with arms that envelop attackers like an octopus.

Australia are masters at creating holes – better than any other team in the world – but Mannering is pretty good at closing them.

Mannering also has a knack of being where he is needed, and sets the tone with kick chase and cover defence.

The Kiwis coped well in his absence in Huddersfield last Sunday, though they were perhaps fortunate that England were profligate with their chances.

With Mannering absent, the other middle players (the props and lock) have to do longer stints, to make up for the defensive capacity that the former captain brings.

Foran has also been vital against Australia in the past.

Thomas Leuluai is a more than capable deputy – and an outstanding defender – but Foran is a better foil for Shaun Johnson and has a superior kicking game.

Jason Nightingale (ankle) appears to be an unlikely starter for the test in Coventry, though the Dragons winger will be given as much time as possible to prove his fitness.

However the prognosis around Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is more promising, with the Roosters prop making good progress with his injured knee.

The Kiwis have the captain’s run at Ricoh Arena today. - NZME

■ MOTOR RACING

Van Gisbergen gets the nod

By Dale BuDge Veteran Supercars driver Craig Lowndes is watching his two stablemates fight out the championship across the final two rounds but the six-time Bathurst winner predicts Kiwi Shane van Gisbergen will lift the trophy.

The 27-year-old van Gisbergen holds a 148-point championship lead over Red Bull Racing teammate Jamie Whincup and he would become the first New Zealander to be crowned champion since Jim Richards in 1991 if he can maintain that lead through this week’s ITM Auckland SuperSprint at Pukekohe Park Raceway and the final round of the series on the streets of Homebush in Sydney later this month.

Lowndes, who won the championship in 1996, 1998 and 1999, believes van Gisbergen is driving too well to cough up that sort of lead.

“I think Shane will be the guy to beat,” Lowndes said.

“He is very determined and we know he is coming back home and he will be hard to beat at Pukekohe and he is also very good at Homebush.

“I thought Shane did a fantastic job last time out at the Gold Coast.

“He really dominated the Saturday. He wasn’t as happy with

Kiwi Supercars driver Shane van Gisbergen has one hand on the 2016 trophy. the car on the Sunday and of course Jamie came out and threw some punches back at him.

“They got a 1-2, which is fantastic.”

Lowndes lies third in the title fight but concedes he has too big a gap to claw back to contend for the win.

Instead, he is concentrating on the minor placings.

“We have sort of fallen off the

back of the points trail with both of those two [van Gisbergen and Whincup].

“We are having our own battle with another Kiwi in Scotty McLaughlin and we are trying to secure the third position in the championship.

“For us, as a team, to get the first 1-2-3 finish in the championship would be fantastic.”

Lowndes, 42, is looking for-

ward to a slight different and much simpler format in use across the weekend at Pukekohe.

“Pukekohe is a little different again as we go back on the hard tyre,” he says.

“We have four 100km races so they really are a pure sprint race, no pit-stops, hopefully qualify at the front and hopefully stay there and win some races.”

Scott McLaughlin on the charge in his Volvo. ing program – forget about the three years. If you give us one year, we will back ourselves to get another deal up for the following season.

“We’ve got 36 people who need to do their job.”

Rogers took Volvo to the Federal Court in the hope of forcing a

resolution that would allow them to race in 2017.

The veteran won an order to begin mediation but, should that process not bear fruit, a future court date pencilled for February would cruel their chances of preparing properly for next season.

Rogers believes their contract

with Volvo gives them the right to retain their chassis for 2017.

“We’ve done a fantastic job with these cars. Let’s face it – Volvo is a fantastically safe car but it didn’t really have a sporting presence,” he said. “Whether you like us or whether you hate us, we did a bloody good job in making it acceptable to the public and people that would have never thought about it before.”

Rogers didn’t shed any light on their driver situation. New Zealand driver Scott McLaughlin, fourth in the championship, is leaving the team next year for DJR Team Penske, and young gun James Golding could be elevated to drive alongside James Moffat but Rogers suggested a driver resolution had to come after a settlement with his manufacturer.

“We will be there with those cars – and I hope with those engines – but we will be working as hard as we possibly can to achieve that end.”

Heimgartner hoping for a big weekend While much of the focus at the ITM Auckland SuperSprint will be on leading Kiwis Shane van Gisbergen, Scott McLaughlin and Fabian Coulthard there is another Kiwi with a lot riding on this week’s action.

Christchurch cyclist Michael Vink has overcome tough conditions to snatch both a stage win and the yellow jersey in the Tour of Southland. Victory for Vink on the 148km fourth stage from Invercargill to the top of Bluff Hill gave him a 2min 14sec advantage over the rest of the field. Previous leader Michael Torckler (Vantage Windows and Doors) is second, while Hayden Roulston is third, 8s further back, with two days to go.

The field was buffeted by 40km/h winds yesterday and there was a mix of rain and occasional sunshine.

Vink says he knew Roulston was keen to make a break, “but that headwind forced everyone together, which was actually quite good for someone like me”. - NZME

Adams’ flow-on effect

Rogers defiant ahead of Volvo Waterloo Supercars Hall of Famer Garry Rogers has vowed to be on the grid at the Clipsal 500 next season and is ramping up his campaign to make it happen.

With just two race meets left in the season, Rogers’ Volvo-backed team remains in limbo after the Swedish manufacturer’s announcement of plans to pull out of the sport.

Rogers is arguing a case to retain their Volvo partnership – both through the legal system and in the court of public opinion.

The 71-year-old is hoping a one-year extension to their deal would give his team a new lease of life and provide Volvo with a more-dignified exit.

“We really just want to get on with the racing,” he said. “We have been approached by another manufacturer halfway through the programme but, according to our contract, we couldn’t speak to them so we didn’t.

“We went back to Volvo and said give us one year of the exist-

Vink gets yellow jersey

Andre Heimgartner is off-contract at the season’s end and will be hoping to turn around a season of poor results with something that better showcases his talent as he tries to negotiate a drive for next year.

The Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport Holden driver has suffered from a range of issues this year to see him languishing in 25th.

There certainly hasn’t been much luck on his side and as he tries to stitch together a new deal

a big result in Pukekohe could be a game-changer.

“We have got a few leads here and there,” Heimgartner said.

“There are a few options.

“Hopefully we will know within the next week.”

New Zealand basketball star Steven Adams’ massive contract extension will have a major impact on the sport back home according to Basketball New Zealand and it might help him pull on the Tall Blacks singlet as well. Adams inked a new $140m deal that will keep him with the Oklahoma City Thunder until 2020 and no doubt change his life in the US. The flow-on effect of that success will be felt back home however. “It is fantastic,” says Basketball New Zealand chief executive Iain Potter.

“It is wonderful for the basketball scene in New Zealand.”

Nicholls the skipper Test batsman Henry Nicholls will lead the New Zealand A team in a three-day game against Pakistan at Nelson’s Saxton Oval. Nicholls, who played one test on the recent tour of India, captains a side with the cream of New Zealand’s best batsmen outside the test lineup, and a group of up-and-coming fast-medium bowlers in the match, Pakistan’s only preparation for their two tests against New Zealand. Auckland’s Jeet Raval, taken on the recent tour of Africa, but left out of the subsequent Indian tour, gets his chance opening with Dean Brownlie.

The sprint champion, sporting a white suit, arrived at Flemington armed with tips from the Melbourne Cup winning jockey, excited for his first race day in Australia. Bolt said Payne gave him some good advice. “She’s told me she’s a sure win so I’m going to put down some money on Race 1,” he told reporters. Payne was first across the line and saluted the judges on Tavi Bay at the juicy odds of 18 to 1.

■ RUGBY

Maori to unleash Ioanes Maori All Blacks loose forward Akira Ioane thought, after a long season of provincial and club rugby, he’d finally been rid of brother Rieko.

But he thought wrong.

Rieko, 19, has been released from the All Blacks squad to play with his older brother in tomorrow’s match against USA, lining up on the right wing.

The Auckland and Blues utility back dazzled at provincial level in 2016, nabbing 10 tries and 22 line breaks in just nine games and earning a test callup.

He is likely to make his All Blacks debut against Italy in a week’s time, but has been told to first get some minutes under his belt with the Maori side.

Rieko told reporters on Wednesday the two sides deployed a similar game plan, simplifying his transition into the squad.

Fellow young gun Damian McKenzie, halfback Tawera Kerr-Barlow and loose forward Elliot Dixon have also dropped into the Maori All Blacks.

“Steve (Hansen) and Ian (Foster), they’ve just told me they need some game time from me,” Rieko said.

“Getting some time at that next level will only be positive for me, that’s all they’ve instructed me to do.”

Akira, 23, joked that he rarely got his hands on the ball with

his brother on the field, but was glad to see him on the same side again.

Emanating from Auckland Ngapuhi and Te Whanau-aApanui, the Ioane brothers had also used their Maori All Blacks stint to learn more about their ancestry.

“We are taking it as a Test and I’m just happy to be back with my mate here, and hopefully we do well on Friday,” Akira said.

“It’s always good to play with him, he does some pretty crazy stuff.”

Head coach Colin Cooper said the use of the four All Blacks squad members was mutually beneficial.

The quartet could keep fit for the test side and deepen the Maori side’s playing stocks on the Chicago leg of their postseason tour.

They will next head to Europe for matches against Munster and the Harlequins.

“There’s relationships now going on with the All Blacks, so we can build, hopefully getting an even better team than we’re producing on Friday,” Cooper said.

Twins join the Force The Western Force have re-signed the identical twin of Wallabies lock Rory Arnold – and Richie is just as imposing in build as his brother.

After a season plagued with injury since joining the Force last November, the 208cm, 125kg giant is on track to return to the field in 2017 to allow for a possible Super Rugby debut. “At the moment, the body feels really good,” he said. A lock, like his brother, Richie could be a late bloomer into Super Rugby after signing the one-year deal.

high-intensity Savea as opposing defences tire.

The Chiefs co-captain has played 80 minutes just once since McCaw’s retirement following the victorious 2015 World Cup. He said he had no issues with Hansen’s plan, so long as it benefited the squad.

“Traditionally as a No.7 you pride yourself on your fitness, being able to go 80 minutes, (and) that’s sort of changed this year,” the 37-cap Cane said.

“Whatever the selections are, it’s never personal, it’s not nec-

essarily because one guy is better than the other, it’s because of what’s best for the team.”

Savea, who weighs in at 100kg, told reporters he was struggling to put on the weight necessary to thrive as a test openside.

Assistant coach Ian Foster, for his part, wasn’t giving anything away on who would wear the No.7 jumper against Ireland.

Cane, Savea or the in-form Todd could all start as All Blacks coaches look to keep their squad fresh at the end of a long rugby season.

Competition to usher in new fishing season North Canterbury Fish and Game officers are expecting a successful high country fishing season opening this weekend.

The Lake Coleridge Fishing Contest will usher in the new season on Saturday, with more than $10,000 of prizes and free entry.

Officer Steve Terry said recent spawning surveys in Coleridge tributaries showed good numbers of rainbow trout in great condition, many of which would

be back in the lake by opening day.

“And there should be plenty of salmon about this season, as last season there were many smaller salmon caught,” Terry said.

North Canterbury Fish and Game had been stocking most of the lakes in the area for a number of years, and over the last twelve months had released thousands of chinook salmon and rainbow trout into Lake Coleridge and neighbouring lakes.

Allan Bunting has been appointed coach of New Zealand’s Olympic silver medal-winning Black Ferns Sevens. Bunting has been assistant coach of the team since 2012, during which time the team won three World Series titles, the Sevens World Cup and silver at the Rio Olympics. He replaces Sean Horan, who stepped down in September after five years at the helm.

While it may not excite fans in quite the same way, it should at least make the lead in to the Rugby Championship more comfortable for coach Michael Cheika’s team after they copped three straight home defeats by England in June this year. Many fans will welcome a return to daytime test rugby, with all three matches – in Melbourne (Fiji, AAMI Park, June 10), Sydney (Scotland, Allianz Stadium, June 17) and Brisbane (Italy, Suncorp Stadium, June 24) – scheduled for 3pm starts.

Lake Coleridge is the only lake in the region that is stocked with chinook salmon, and also one of the few lakes that you can catch salmon, brown trout and rainbow trout all in the one day.

A number of anglers will be camped overnight around the various lakes to make the most of first light, as the majority of fish that are likely to be caught in many of the high country lakes during opening weekend, are usually taken at first and last light.

Free camping is available at Ryton Bay for both opening weekend and the following weekend, with the landowner unlocking gates to allow more room for the much-anticipated event. The focus of the competition is participation and every angler who shows a licence is automatically entered in the spot prize draw.

Every year over 1000 or more anglers fish the Lake Coleridge lakes and the surrounding areas on opening weekend.

Gatland keeps firing Warren Gatland is getting some of his blows in early ahead of next year’s Lions tour, saying “anyone” in New Zealand could coach the All Blacks to an 85 per cent winning record. The All Blacks are presently on an 18-game winning run, a world record for tier one teams, and have won 92 per cent of games in the Steve Hansen era. Neil Jenkins, one of Gatland’s assistants, suggested the All Blacks are the best team in the world in any sport but the Lions coach is less impressed. “Anyone in New Zealand could coach the All Blacks and you would be guaranteed an 85 per cent win record, so it’s not a bad team to be involved with,” Gatland said.

Test rugby still physical Liam Squire’s eyes light up and a smile spreads across his face when he thinks about the physical nature of test rugby and whether that excites him. He knows it does and he presumably knows, too, that it’s his abrasive nature and love of contact that has largely been responsible for getting him this far. All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has seen plenty of magnificent specimens aspire to be a test loose forward and few actually make it.

The reason most don’t quite make the cut is that they don’t have the mentality to impose themselves.

Test rugby has evolved over the years but it hasn’t lost the essence of itself – it remains a game of impacts and collisions and only the hardest men can thrive.

After three weeks of T20 cricket, the 45-over game is back as the Pritchard Shield makes its return tomorrow.

Allenton, Lauriston, Methven and Coldstream will be out to dethrone reigning champions Tech.

Tech will kick off their title defence against senior T20 competition winners Allenton, while

Lauriston play host to Methven and Coldstream have the bye.

Tech retained the Shield last season after the penultimate round of play was cancelled due to the dismal weather, but are set

Waugh urges skippers to safeguard tests Steve Waugh has called on cricket’s three most influential captains to safeguard the future of Tests.

The relevance of the sport’s oldest format has been a hot topic in recent weeks, with Shane Warne, Mark Taylor and Allan Border among many to suggest something must change.

Four-day tests and scrapping the toss have been floated as two options that could help the format flourish in an age when Twenty20 is commanding more and more resources and attention around the world.

Waugh feels Steve Smith, Alastair Cook and Virat Kohli must show leadership on the issue and ensure test cricket remains the pinnacle.

“Obviously there is money to be made in Twenty20 but it’s up to the captains – Virat Kohli, Steve Smith and Cook – they and their nations have to keep saying test cricket is where it’s at,”

Steve Waugh was one of Australia’s best test cricketers.

Waugh said on the eve of his Captain’s Ride charity event.

“The leaders have to take responsibility, because then the young kids hear that message they want to play it.

“Whereas in the West Indies you had Chris Gayle saying he’d rather play Twenty20 and you see what’s happened to their cricket.

“Test cricket must be the pin-

nacle. It’s unique. It tests you physically, technically, mentally, socially and emotionally.”

Smith, speaking on the eve of a three-match series against South Africa, opined the Australian public cared as much about tests as his team does. Regarding the prospect of scrapping the toss and/or shortening tests by one day, Smith sat on the fence.

“It’s obviously pretty early days in the talks about that and I guess that’s well above my pay grade,” he said. “Obviously we’re always looking to try and improve and innovate in our game to keep it going as long as we can.”

The advent of day-night tests, which allow fans to attend a night session after finishing work or school, has made it easier for Cricket Australia to market a format that fails to attract big crowds apart from when England tour.

Players have been less supportive but Smith suggested he was pleased with how the new pink ball performed last week in the Sheffield Shield.

“It’s not as unpredictable as the previous ball,” he said.

“They’ve got the black seam on it, so I felt I could see that a lot easier than the previous ball.”

Waugh is an ardent fan of daynight tests and would have no issue with them becoming the norm in five or ten years. - AAP

Dale Steyn has talked the talk and his South African skipper Faf du Plessis hopes the veteran will now walk the walk with a record-breaking display in the first test against Australia.

South African paceman Steyn sent down the first barb of the three-Test series last weekend when he claimed Australia’s batting line-up was like a snake – cut the head off and the rest will fail.

The comments were in reference to Australia’s over-reliance on star batsmen Steve Smith and David Warner.

Steyn was sidelined earlier this year with a shoulder injury, but he’s back to full fitness and aiming to wreak havoc on Australia.

The 33-year-old’s performances will go a long way towards deciding whether South Africa can win their third straight test series in Australia.

And Steyn also has the chance to achieve some individual glory at the WACA. Steyn’s 416 test wickets places him second behind only Shaun Pollock (421) in South Africa’s all-time leading wicket-taker list.

Du Plessis praised Steyn’s influence on the team, and he hopes the pace spearhead will be rewarded with a glut of wickets – and a new record – in Perth.

“He’s been one of those guys who’s really stepped up in terms of working with the young guys,” du Plessis said.

“With all those wickets and all that experience, there’s no better guy to learn from.

“I’m hoping he breaks that record in the first test.

“He’s been bowling well.

“He’s had his shoulder problems of late, but he’s an important bowler for us in this series and hopefully he can stay strong right through the series.” - AAP

Week five of Mid Canterbury Netball’s summer league offered up some exciting encounters at the EA Networks Centre Stadium on Wednesday evening.

Stepping Stones remain undefeated as EA Networks became their latest victims.

Stones took out an emphatic 42-11 victory to extend their unbeaten run to five outings in the business house league.

Meanwhile, Silver Thorns are

playing themselves into solid form.

After a loss in week three, Thorns bounced back to down Property Gurus last week and added their second win in as many matches with a 30-14 downing of RMF on Wednesday.

Tavendale and Partners also maintained their 100 per cent record with a 40-22 win over High Raters.

Talley’s Cool Chips clash with The Fly Hunnys was a much

closer affair with Talley’s taking a slender 23-20 win, while Property Gurus returned to winning ways to take down Seeds R Us 25-19.

In the social skilled division, S & Giggles snuck by Splash ‘n’ Buckets 28-24 and Te Tahi put Rakahe to the sword for a 31-16 victory.

Bench Warmers certainly lived up to their name as Dodgy Knees put in an anything but dodgy performance to secure a 34-17 win.

Balls Up just got the better of Gin and Tonic 23-20, while Battle Dogs added a fifth successive win to their tally, downing One Hundred Percent 39-14.

The Dream Team lived up to their name to see off Methven Magic 20-14, while On Point beat Because We Can 20-15, The Scoregasms toppled Tits and Bits 28-13 and Drinkerbelles (22-13) and Disco Duckies (2717) scored wins over Ruthless Roosters and I Thought I Was Wine Tasting.

Reid big loss for All Whites Skipper Winston Reid has been ruled out of the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against New Caledonia, robbing the All Whites of their best player.

Reid’s absence is one notable feature of the squad named by Anthony Hudson to tackle New Caledonia in Auckland on November 12 and the return game in New Caledonia three days later.

Ryan Thomas (PEC Zwolle, Netherlands), Bill Tuiloma (Marseille, France) and Glen Moss (Wellington Phoenix) return to the international fold and Chris Wood will captain the side in Reid’s absence.

Controversial defender Tommy Smith, who will be welcomed back into the squad after international exile, wasn’t available after recent back surgery.

Reid has been ruled out after suffering a hamstring injury in the loss against Everton last weekend.

“We have a good squad of players who are more than capable of doing the job for this window,” said Hudson.

“We have built enough depth in our squad over a period time to deal with situations like this.

“We are comfortable now that we have players who can come in and do a job.

“We have a very good squad coming to New Zealand and we are looking forward to these games.”

The All Whites have been grouped with New Caledonia and Fiji in Group A, with the winner taking on the top side out of Group B, which features Papua New Guinea, Tahiti and the Solomon Islands.

The nation to emerge from Oceania’s qualifying group will then take on the fifth-best side from South America, presently Chile (Argentina are sixth), for a place at the 2018 World Cup. The loss of Reid is a blow, especially given his form for West

Ham in the Premier League, but it’s partially offset by the returns from injury of Thomas and Tuiloma. Moss also returns after being overlooked for the recent tour of the United States and comes in for Jake Gleeson, who was recently charged with drink driving.

Moss, who has played 29 internationals for New Zealand since making his debut in 2006, made a special visit to Auckland to meet with Hudson to tell him how much he wanted to be back in the team.

Next weekend’s game is the first time the All Whites have played at home since taking on South Africa in May 2014.

Mateo Kovacic spared Real further embarrassment with an equaliser which earned them a point, but they face qualifying in second place now.

Cubs break curse The Chicago Cubs have ended 108 years of waiting to claim a first World Series baseball crown since 1908 with a dramatic 8-7 extra innings win over the Cleveland Indians in yesterday’s deciding game seven.

Left-fielder Ben Zobrist provided the big hit to drive in pinch runner Albert Almora Jr that proved the difference and sent the long-suffering Cubs fans into raptures.

Coming back from 3-1 down in the series the Cubs won a sudden death game back home in Chicago on Tuesday before backto-back wins on Wednesday and yesterday in Cleveland.

The Cubs, who owned the best regular season record of any team (103-58), looked to have blown the game when they coughed up a 5-1 lead with some questionable managerial decisions by Joe Maddon before they rallied in the 10th inning after a short rain delay.

The win sees the Cubs break what many fans believe in as the Curse of the Billy Goat.

The Cubs famously lost the 1945 World Series when the idea of the curse was born.

Billy Goat Tavern owner William Sianis was asked to leave Wrigley Field after the odour from his pet goat was disturbing fans.

He responded by claiming “Them Cubs, they ain’t gonna win no more,” promoting the birth of the curse.

Lead-off hitter Dexter Fowler got the visiting side rolling earlier by hitting a home run to right field in the top of the first.

The Indians, who had the right to host the deciding game as a result of the American League team’s win in the Allstar Game earlier in the season, answered back when Carlos Santana drove in Coco Crisp in the bottom of the third.

The Cubs tacked on two more runs in the top of the fourth before second baseman Javier Baez jacked a home run to centrefield in the fifth.

The 2014 American League Cy Young winner gave up four runs on six hits without a strike out and looked a little out of gas after a long season.

David Ross, playing in his final major league game after announcing his retirement, produced a memorable moment when he launched a home run to center off the Indians lights-out reliever Andrew Miller.

Flame-throwing Cuban closer Aroldis Chapman was brought on to get the final out in the eighth - a night after getting criticised for over-using his star reliever.

After giving up a hit to Brandon Guyer, Chapman gave up a two-run shot to outfielder Rajai Davis to tie the game.

Maddon took another risk by sending Chapman out for the ninth with a fastball quickly losing velocity and light rain starting to fall. The left-hander responded by sitting the Indians down in order.

Kyle Schwarber got a lead off hit in the top of the 10th before the Cubs pinch ran Almora Jr for him.

The replacement runner advanced on Kris Byrant’s deep fly out to center before a Ben Zobrist hit brought him home. Miguel Montero tacked on another run to make it an 8-6 game.

Carl Edwards Jr allowed Guyer to score before Mike Montgomery got the final out for the save.

■ YACHTING

America’s Cup to race in Queenstown?

Russell Coutts has floated the idea that Queenstown might be able to stage the world’s most famous yachting regatta.

Asked this week if Auckland could again host the America’s Cup, Coutts – a five-time winner – said: “Why not have it in Queenstown?”

Coutts says land-locked Switzerland, whom he won the Cup for in 2003, could have hosted the following regatta.

And this year the Cup broke new ground with a qualifier in Chicago: Lake Michigan became the first freshwater venue in the event’s 165-year history.

That lake was bigger than Lake Wakatipu, but Coutts said that the modern format was for racing to be held on tight circuits, close to the shore.

The course need only be 2-3km long - “so you could set a course easily”.

“You don’t need much width either.”

The yachting legend and event authority CEO for the 2017 America’s Cup in Bermuda said he was a big fan of lake sailing, especially for learners.

“You get a hell of a lot of wind changes/wind shifts”.

Lakes were a good platform for sailors to learn the direction and speed of the wind on, he said.

Auckland-based Coutts - who built a large home on the Crown Range about seven years ago - said he and his family ventured down as often as they could.

“My two boys [15 and 10] are mad-keen skiers. That’s their number one sport. My daughter [13], she snowboards.”

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Serious, deep connections are often characterised by the way they share the lighter moments – or, more likely, the ability for two people to find the lightness together in the heavier moments.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The way to lay boundaries now is rather subtle. No confrontation is necessary – not even a talk. When you are sure what you’re willing and not willing to do, people will understand telepathically.

You may have to change how (or to whom) you give information in the future.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): When it works, it’s brilliant. When it doesn’t, don’t give in to disappointment. There’s nothing to be down about: This is all education and growth.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): A mark of maturity is that you now have no reaction to the occurrence that once annoyed you. And when you get to the place where you welcome this occurrence – that’s spiritual evolution.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’d like to think your happiness isn’t dependent on such things as the quality of lighting, but just like other creatures of the earth, on a physiological level, you need sunlight. Get out in it.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Some moods are like puddles you walk into because you weren’t paying attention to the road. Remember this divot up ahead? Now avoid it by walking around.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Some people feel love when they make someone laugh. Others prefer laughter to hugs, gifts, and other affection. Laughers need people who share their humour, or their joy will shrivel.

Ellis to skipper Baabaas New Zealand players dominate the Barbarians who face a scratch South African team at Wembley on Sunday, with veteran Crusader Andy Ellis leading the side. Ellis will be joined by another former All Black Luke Whitelock (Highlanders) and current test centre candidate Seta Tamanivalu who has left the Chiefs for the Crusaders. The team includes Matt Faddes (Highlanders), utility back Richard Buckman (Highlanders), flanker Jordan Taufua (Crusaders) and forwards Michael Fatialofa and Brad Shields. First five Richard Mo’unga (Crusaders) is on the bench.

Joseph Parker will be fighting Andy Ruiz Jr in Auckland, according to promoter Bob Arum.

Home ground advantage

BY PATRICK MCKENDRY After days of speculation, the venue for the Joseph Parker v Andy Ruiz Jr heavyweight title fight has been confirmed – and it’s going to be held in Parker’s home town of Auckland.

His promoters have been keen to keep their plans under wraps, but Ruiz’s promoter Bob Arum let it slip in Las Vegas yesterday when he told the media that a press conference in the city on Saturday featuring the two fighters will confirm Auckland as the venue.

ESPN boxing writer Dan Rafael tweeted the news yesteerday morning.

Many of the world’s boxing media are in Las Vegas covering the Manny Pacquiao v Jesse

Vargas title fight, ensuring that Parker will get plenty of coverage this weekend, Arum, Pacquiao’s promoter, told the media in a press conference.

Bob Arum told Newshub yesterday: “They’ve kept assuring me that they would somehow raise the money [to do the fight] through sponsorship or whatever.

“They informed me this morning that that had been done so we’re going to announce on Saturday in the US that the fight will be held in Auckland, New Zealand, on December 10.

“I know Joe Parker is a dedicated athlete and he’s training here in Las Vegas.

“I talked to Kevin Barry this morning and he thinks Parker

will be at his best, so it should be a great fight.”

Duco’s Dean Lonergan said yesterday: “We neither confirm nor deny. It’s a work in progress.”

Vector Arena is firming as the favourite for the December 10 fight for the WBO title.

Eden Park’s management were keen to hold it, but the limited build-up time left them apprehensive about selling the more than 50,000 tickets.

Mt Smart Stadium is also in the mix.

The fight will attract a worldwide audience of millions.

On Friday, Parker’s promoters Duco pulled their bid for Government funding for the fight.

They will instead rely on sponsors and corporates, and

appear willing to make slight loss on the fight in order to give 24-year-old Parker his best shot at the title.

Act leader David Seymour said the Government had “narrowly escaped getting suckerpunched by Duco Events”, and should scrap the Major Events Fund altogether.

“The Government never ruled out giving gravy to Duco – it was actually Duco who ran away from the idea when they realised it was getting political.

“Whether it’s horse shows, golf opens, yacht races, or stand-up paddleboarding, governments of all stripes fall into the trap of granting fat cheques to organisations that are perfectly capable of raising a profit without help.”

Lock shortage puts Kaino in the spotlight

BY CHRIS ALLEN With the Cubs being the talk of the town, the All Blacks have bought into the baseball vibe by throwing something of a curve ball, selecting Jerome Kaino at lock.

The veteran flanker has had some exposure to the role – filling in occasionally since 2014

when there has been no specialist cover on the bench.

This is the first time he’s been asked to start, however, and he’s been pressed into action because of the lack of alternatives.

Sam Whitelock and Brodie Retallick are recovering from injury, Luke Romano has flown home following a following bereavement and the selectors felt

that it was too big an ask for the uncapped Scott Barrett to start, having had only a few days with the team.

“Jerome has been covering for us the last few weeks and he’s very comfortable in the position,” says head coach Steve Hansen. “We thought it was a big ask to ask a young fella [Barrett] who has only been here

since Sunday. There is a lot for him to take in so we have tried to keep it as simple as possible, but very confident that he’ll do well when he comes on.

“Unfortunately with the tragedy with Luke, it is a no-brainer.

We have two choices – dwell on it and get worried about it or show faith and move on and that is no excuse for us.” - NZME

In family’s footsteps Simultaneously self assured and humble, 11-year-old Sabre Norris aspires to go two places higher on an Olympic podium than her bronze medal winning dad Justin and also eclipse one of his less edifying records. Sabre is the youngest surfer to earn a wildcard spot in a major Australian surfing event, after securing a place at the Sydney International Women’s Pro, the final Qualifying Series event of the year.

Morgan back for Thunder England captain Eoin Morgan will again play for the Sydney Thunder in this summer’s Big Bash League.

The middle-order batsman will play the first half of the 2016-17 Twenty20 competition in this third stint with the reigning champions. “I’m delighted to be back at Sydney Thunder, particularly after the success they had last year, it’s great to be back and wearing the green shirt,” Morgan said.

Morgan and West Indian all-rounder Andre Russell will line up alongside Shane Watson, Pat Cummins and Usman Khawaja.
