i-SITE plans canned

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The wait for an information base in central Ashburton will now be a long one, with a plan to re-open Ashburton’s i-SITE now canned.

After months of planning and growing community support, a proposal to kickstart the East Street

information centre by a group known as the Information Hub, has fallen at its final hurdle – securing a lease that gave longevity to their project.

Tony Todd, David West and Paul Mullen formed a group they called the Information Hub. Their goal was to start an information business in the i-SITE building, one that would fill the gap left by the i-SITE closure.

Critical to their plan’s success was securing a lease from the building’s owner, the Ashburton District Council. While a lease was offered, it was only short term.

And that, West said, made it very difficult to develop a solid business plan.

Barking up a storm in the dog sale ring

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When the last of his team of dogs went under the auctioneer’s hammer at yesterday’s PGG Wrigtson dog sale, Dave MacDonald quietly wiped away a few tears.

After years as a casual musterer on Marlborough’s hills, MacDonald decided it was time to retire.

On a town section, there was no room for three energetic dogs and that meant some hard decisions had to be made.

The dogs needed to work and MacDonald had his fingers crossed they’d find not only work, but also good homes.

First up was Max, a four-yearold huntaway. He had plenty of noise, plenty of energy and wasted no time showing potential buyers what he could do. He did MacDonald proud.

His top effort caught the eye of Methven man Richard Lee. He was looking for another dog for his team and was quick to seal the deal on the fall of the hammer.

Max will join Lee’s team of two, plus the family labrador, and while he’ll be earning his keep on casual farm work over the next few months, Max could be a foundation member of Lee’s team when he secures a sought-after lease block of land.

After the sale buyer and seller shook hands and swapped notes on the best way for Max to make the transition from old life to new, it was clear, however, that canine loyalties are shortlived. With a few pats from Lee and a cautious cuddle from two-year-old Harper, Max’s allegiance switched.

Allenton’s shopping centre is showing signs that it is coming out of hibernation as new shops prepare to open on its northern side.

For months that side of the suburban centre has been marked by three closed shops. One is close to opening its doors to a new business and a second is likely to be

Yesterday’s sale attracted a large gallery and a good line-up of 72 registered buyers. With 43 dogs on offer, it was clear some would be going home with an empty truck.

Selling a good dog is not always

easy. Often there’s one dog too many in a team, others said they simply didn’t have the work and hated to see a good dog sitting idle, some were retiring to town.

For one seller there was an extra emotional edge, he was selling his

terminally ill father’s dogs.

Scott Paton from Inverary Station was reluctantly selling his best mate Herb. He was heading overseas and needed the cash.

Buyers came from as far afield as the Hawke’s Bay.

New life for shopping centre

reformed and reopened by Christmas.

The man behind the surge of new life is property owner John McDonald and he’s keen to see the wraps come off his first new business, a wood-fired pizzeria.

The eatery will open in the shop front of Allenton Butchery and will include dine in and takeaway options.

McDonald is in discussions with a trained pizziaolo chef to run the business. He also intends to apply for a liquor licence.

Plans are also under way to reopen a restaurant and bar in the next door property, formerly home to Bedrock.

He’s keeping tight-lipped on the style of this business but said he hoped it would be open by

Christmas. “Everything we’re putting in up there is complementary to the town, but to do what we’re planning is a question of securing supplies, ingredients and expertise. Everything has to be done in squence.”

Together the pizzeria and the new restaurant and bar would be complementary businesses, he said.

Rural firefighters were kept busy on Wednesday night, responding to two vegetation fires and a false alarm.

At 6.30pm the Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade were called to a false alarm at the Synlait Factory in Selywn.

At around 8.40pm, they were called out again to a large stack of bales that were on fire in the Pendarves area.

Firefighters from Pendarves and Ashburton also attended the fire in a stack of around 200 hay bales.

“It was a stack of around 200 and around 100 were involved (in the fire),” Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade chief Tyrone Burrowes said.

“We were on the scene for around four hours.

“Obviously the ones on the outer edge were easier to move as they weren’t on fire but the internal ones the strings had broken and they fell apart which made them difficult to move.”

Burrowes said at this stage there was no obvious cause of the fire.

Later at 10.30pm, the Mayfield Voluntary Rural Fire Force were called to a vegetation fire.

Chief Ian Fielder said firefighters were called after a spark had jumped out of a rubbish pit that contained trees that were being burned.

The fire had spread, but Fielder said it was only a minor job.

i-SITE plans canned

Two reports have pointed the finger at the Ministry for Primary Industries for their poor handling of the M. bovis outbreak.

Reports highlight poor bovis handling

By Linda Clarke

linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Two reports into causes of the backlog of Mycoplasma bovis cases highlight the poor handling of the crisis by the Ministry for Primary Industries, says Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon.

The reports, commissioned by MPI and DairyNZ, both pointed out how slow MPI were to react to the surge in properties affected

by M. bovis, impacting 1100 farms including many in Mid Canterbury, he said.

“Some of the problems we’ve had locally are mirrored in the reports, particularly the hastily recruited staff who were not able to make even the smallest decisions, with everything run through Wellington and the significant delays that resulted.”

Falloon also said the reports

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

www. realestatenewzealand. net.nz/open-homes/

Trevor Hurley Real Estate Ltd LREA 2008 - MREINZ

identified a lack of shared data.

Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers’ Mike Salvesen said the district’s farmers had been voicing similar complaints to MPI over its handling of the cattle disease for months. That had already resulted in some of the changes suggested by the reports.

Changes here had included a regional M. bovis group chaired

by Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel and a farmer support group for the large group under surveillance.

The latest figures, at July 4, from MPI show 84 farms in Mid Canterbury are under surveillance for M. bovis, where the disease is suspected.

Twenty-three farms are under notice of direction with movement restrictions and testing under way and five farms remain

active with the disease and are being depopulated and disinfected. There have been 26 confirmed farms in Mid Canterbury since the disease was first found on a South Canterbury farm in 2017.

Salvesen said MPI had already apologised to farmers here about how it was implementing its eradication plan and made changes to improve the process for farmers.

Farmers say the stigma of the disease, and its physical, mental and financial toll has caused huge stress in their families and rural communities.

Mid Canterbury has been the most affected region in the country because of its number of dairy and beef farms.

Salvesen said the regional M. bovis group was hearing less from farmers who were complaining about bad treatment from MPI,

m²

which indicated the improvements were being made.

“I suppose if they (MPI) are learning from their mistakes, it is all right.”

He said Federated Farmers had also learned a lot about the eradication programme and process, including when and who to talk to about different issues. MPI was doing a job set by politicians.

“We can talk about the process with MPI but we have to talk to (agriculture minister) Damien O’Connor about the whys.”

Salvesen said not all farmers agreed with the decision to eradicate the cattle disease, but industry bodies were backing it.

“It is a 10-year programme and we have a long way to go. We are in the second year of it and still have a few cases around, but once they get through it we should be right.”

From P1 An added disincentive was the Ashburton District Council’s plan to establish an information service in its new civic centre and library in Baring Square east. This complex is likely to be completed in about two years.

Yesterday, the Hub group called time on their plans citing a failure to reach formal agreement with the council as the official reason.

“There were lots of times we thought we had it across the line and at one point we even had staff ready to go,” West said.

Despite extensive collaboration with both council and Experience Mid Canterbury (EMC) over the past year the Hub group had been unable to find a suitable resolution, he said.

“Underpinning this is the council’s desire to eventually dispose of the existing building and re-locate the info centre to within the new council library and civic centre building when it is completed, leaving us little security in tenure in the short to medium term.”

Council chief executive Hamish Riach said the council had been trying to find the right balance between utilising the i-SITE building and the ongoing work of the town centre revitalisation project.

Councillors had already decided the building would be removed as part of this work in keeping with the vision to create a pedestrian and cycle friendly environment, he said.

“The redevelopment project has placed limits on the length of lease that the council could offer on the building, and this has ultimately meant the Info Hub group do not wish to proceed with their proposed information service.”

Crowds flock to in-store days

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

Despite sunny weather keeping a few farmers on the farm, both the pies and business have been running hot at the first day of the Ruralco In-store Days.

Ruralco CEO Robert Sharkie said the early rush of customers had been great, with plenty of business being done.

“From my perspective it has met expectations so far and there has been some good quality business done and that will only continue as it ramps up,” he said.

“I have had quite a lot of feedback from customers and they have been good comments.”

This year is the 25th instalment of the In-store Days, and there are $250,000 worth of prizes available for customers, who go in to the draw every time they spend $250.

Sharkie said they have received plenty of positive feedback, with plenty of customers getting behind the idea.

“The only difficult thing about it is what do we do next year, it will have to be different to keep it relevant going forward,” he said.

Over the 25 years local businesses such as Neumanns Tyres have been attending the event nearly every year.

Alan Neumann said attending the event was less about selling tyres there and then, but keeping up with their customers and other suppliers.

“We are a big supplier through Ruralco,” he said.

“It is good for business to catch up with customers and suppliers and it is great to have them all in one spot.

“We don’t sell a lot of tyres here but it is nice to catch up with people and shake a lot of hands.”

While they do not have anything to sell, for Federated Farmers being at the event is about being able to keep in touch with farmers from across the agricultural sector.

“You always hope to be able to pick up a few extra members but the main thing is to be catching up with the existing members,” territory manager Harry Matthews said.

AHD have been attending the event for more than 10 years, and managing director Richard Kettle said there were few events like it.

“It’s good to be able to see repeat customers and they recognise you and you can build that trust,” he said.

“For a company like Ruralco that is big getting bigger they still have that real family feel to it and it is a great environment to do business through.”

Despite coming within five minutes of their building being destroyed on Tuesday, the owners of The Brown Pub plan to be pouring pints once again tonight.

A few small things still need to fall into place, but owners Trev Den Baars and Deb Taylor are optimistic it will be open following a serious fire in the building.

“We will be open, we have the power and water sorted,” Den Baars said.

Temporary fixes will be put in place to ensure that the pokies and TAB services will be up and running, and all that needs to be sorted is the alarm system.

While three days might seem to be a quick turnaround following a major fire, Den Baars was planning to have it open again on Wednesday night.

“Within the hour of the fire I was going round saying we would have it open again

by Wednesday night, but it became apparent that wasn’t going to happen,” he said.

Mains power and water into the building was damaged, but thanks to local tradesmen, everything that is needed is back operating.

“They were down here straight away, we didn’t even have to make a call,” he said.

“The local general public support has been pretty amazing as well.

“I expect a lot of people will be keen to find out what has gone on, and that they will be happy their social establishment is back up and running.”

The pub was damaged after a chimney fire took hold in the north-west section of the building on Tuesday morning.

Firecrews from Methven, Ashburton, Rakaia and Christchurch all fought the blaze, but it was the quick intervention of the Methven firefighters that has been pointed out as the saviour of the pub.

“The investigators from Christchurch and Timaru all said without the Methven guys it would’ve been destroyed, even if they were five minutes later,” he said.

The kitchen of the pub remains out of action, but a catering caravan will be set up to provide food in a limited capacity, providing what Den Baars is hoping to call the “smoky menu”.

Den Baars said sleep had been rather limited since the fire, with the stress of getting the pub back up and running on the forefront of his mind.

“Sleep is not a requirement in situations like this, but I must admit I am feeling it a bit today (Thursday),” he said.

The four were racing against the clock and teams from other schools as they put their science and engineering skills to the test in one of the tasks at the annual EPro8 Challenge, held at the Ashburton Intermediate School hall yesterday.

A record 20 schools from throughout the district have teams entered in the challenge, for Years 5 to 8 pupils, being held this week.

Top teams will compete in a semi-final at Ashburton Borough School next term, and winners from that will go to the grand final for the Canterbury region to be held at the University of Canterbury.

‘Whalebone’ to be removed A damaged concrete ‘whalebone’ sculpture in Ashburton will be removed this week, after a structural engineer’s assessment of the damage found the feature to be a significant health and safety risk to the public.

The sculpture, one of 13 located in Baring Square East, has significant structural damage in the form of cracks.

“After finding significant damage to one of the features, we felt it necessary to have all of the structures inspected by an engineering firm to ensure the community’s safety,” chief executive Hamish Riach said.

A report to council based on the engineer’s assessment suggested that with the combination of corrosion that has occurred over time, and the risk of ice forming in the cracks after wet weather (leading to expansion and more concrete cracking), could cause parts of the structure to become loose and fall away.

The report also concluded that the 12 remaining features are in good structural condition and will remain in place.

Work to remove the damaged sculpture is scheduled for today.

Breaking news – snow fell from the sky at Mt Hutt yesterday.

It was a moment of pure joy, and staff and skiers alike looked to the heavens and revelled in the feel of white cold flakes falling on their faces.

Manager James McKenzie confirmed it was the first snowfall since the skifield opened on June 7, in what has been somewhat of a drought this winter. There has been 75 centimetres of natural snow, but that was prior to opening.

McKenzie said it had felt like a celebratory moment when the snow shower drifted in.

“There was talk on the radio (used by staff and management) of even having a shout at the Blue Pub,” McKenzie said.

He expected the brief shower was a sign of more to come, with snow showers having been forecast overnight last night, which could bring anything from three to 10 centimetres.

This would be a nice lead-in to school holidays, following what has been a “tough” week at Mt Hutt.

The snow base (23 to 59 centimetres) diminished about 10 centimetres, with some warm days and nor’westers reaching gust-speeds of 202 kilometres on Wednesday.

Snowmaking has been the saving grace of the skifield this year, and with state-of-the-art equipment it has been able to keep main trails open.

McKenzie said this winter so far not been as bad as some others, due to cold temperatures having dominated, favouring snowmaking.

And in terms of skier numbers, for the first part of the season these were up on last year’s record, but were now tracking closer to the budgeted level.

“It’s a fantastic result for us,” McKenzie said.

Police warn of frosty roads

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

Police are urging drivers to drive to the conditions after a number of ice-related crashes in the past few weeks.

Mid South Canterbury Highway Patrol Sergeant Steve Burgerhout said there had been a number of crashes as a result of ice, even ones where the drivers had reduced their speed.

A crash occurred recently where a driver had reduced his speed significantly, but still slid of the road as a result of black ice.

“The issue is no-one sees it and no-one knew it was there and it was a low-speed crash,” he said.

“They have to drive to the conditions.

“If it has been frosty in the morning especially.

“If you are driving along and see there are sections of the road that are an off colour, make sure you get your speed down before you hit the spot and not on it,” he said.

“If it has been frosty there can be a couple of spots in the afternoon that have never seen any sun and the ice will last a good proportion of the day.”

In brief Curtain bank When you redecorate, don’t throw your old curtains out, donate them to the Curtain Bank. Those unwanted curtains can have a new life warming up cold homes.

Presbyterian Support in Ashburton works with the Christchurch Curtain Bank to supply curtains to locals in need. When a request is made, volunteers measure windows, an order is placed and well-lined curtains are supplied.

Curtain donations can be left at Presbyterian Support.

Police pursuit Police observed a vehicle speeding on SH1 at 10.19am on Thursday, but when they attempted to catch up with it, they were unable to do so. Based on witness accounts, police were able to track down the vehicle not long afterwards and one person was taken into custody.

Water use plea ignored

Suicide-hit families feel left out of Govt plan

A plea for Aucklanders to save water appears to have fallen on deaf ears. On Tuesday Watercare asked people to take shorter showers and turn taps off while brushing their teeth to stave off a looming water shortage, after a record dry six months to June. But the first figures from Watercare’s consumption measurements show water use actually increased the next day – jumping from 413 million litres on Tuesday to 417 million litres on Wednesday. However it was lower than the 425 million litres used on Monday.

Wind rips panel off

A group of bereaved families who campaigned for change in the mental health system say they’re heartbroken to have not been asked for their feedback on the Government’s upcoming suicide prevention plan.

The Ministry of Health has yet to officially release the draft of its Every Life Matters Suicide Prevention Strategy, but it has been handed out to some stakeholders for feedback.

The parents of Ross Taylor, Harry McLean and Nicky Stevens, who died by suicide, say they had to learn about the details of the report from media this week and were never given a chance to voice their views.

In an open letter to the Ministry of Health, Corinda Taylor, Maria Dillon and Jane Stevens said they were incredibly saddened to have been left out.

“When we contacted you last week, we were shocked that we had not been offered the opportunity to provide feedback. It took three days for you to respond to our request and the very last-minute offer for us to have input was

Jane Stevens says the parents hope they can still give feedback on the plan. disrespectfully short and over a weekend – it was impossible to meet,” the families wrote.

“We are now left with the strong impression that Ministry of Health does not value our input.”

The trio said they had actively campaigned for the Government’s Mental Health Inquiry in the lead-up to the 2017 election, met with Health Minister David Clark and all worked with the Mental Health and Addiction In-

quiry Panel.

The group had earlier contacted officials and were told to wait, Jane Stevens said.

“We’re not just an inconvenient add-on,” she said.

“People who have been through this, who have been through these experiences have a lot to offer and need to be at the table or it just ends up being another bureaucracy.”

In the letter, the parents said

their lived experience gave them a unique voice.

“We are passionate about the need for change, and are doing everything that we can, to highlight the issues, and prevent other families from also becoming suicide bereaved.”

Jane said the families had yet to be handed a copy of the report but were still keen to give their input in the next stage of consultation.

Mental Health Foundation chief Shaun Robinson told the Herald the draft report was a positive step forward by including a specific action plan but that it needed to be more specific.

“New Zealand has been without a direction for how to respond to the issue of suicide for several years now, and that’s really, completely unacceptable when it’s an issue of the magnitude that it is,” he said.

“It’s great that there is an action plan but it needs to be more specific. The more clearly this can spell out who needs to do what, the responsibilities of different Government agencies, of DHBs and communities ... the better it’s going to be.”

Being hit by a 40kg cladding panel that plunged 13 storeys from an Auckland apartment building yesterday would be like being crushed against a wall by a small car – if you were lucky.

That’s according to University of Auckland physics lecturer Dr Geoff Wilmott, who made some rough calculations after wind ripped the panel from the building on the corner of Victoria St West and Nelson St. Police had to close a section of Victoria St due to debris and out of concern more panels could come down.

Fears for missing man New Zealand Police and the family of a missing Australian man have growing concerns for his welfare after he went missing nearly a fortnight ago. Samuel Todd, 33, was last seen at Auckland International Airport on June 21 about 7pm.

City waterfront apartment sells for $20,000 NZME A downtown Auckland apartment with waterfront views has sold for $20,000 – and no, you aren’t reading that wrong.

The one-bedroom apartment features a modern kitchen and bathroom, study, open plan lounge and unobscured sea views

from its “huge” 13th-floor balcony.

Located in the Scene 1 Building at 2 Beach Rd, it is just a short stroll from Wynyard Quarter and Britomart in one direction and the Spark Arena in the other.

Auckland Council currently values the apartment at $550,000. It last sold in 2002 for $311,200.

Auctioned on Wednesday by the City Sales agency, the apartment attracted an opening bid of $10,000, selling agent James Mairs confirmed.

With only one bidder, the price was eventually driven up to $20,000 before selling.

The apartment is also likely to be rented out for a price up to

$600 a week, City Sales managing director Martin Dunn said.

So is this the bargain of the century? Well, City Sales had earlier advertised the apartment as “vacant and abandoned” and “Aussie owner wants it gone”.

“This apartment is not for the faint-hearted but risk takers could be handsomely rewarded,”

the advertisement further stated.

The apartment was also only for sale as a leasehold. This comes with an annual ground rent of $6745 and a special levy of $5228, City Sales said.

A further $4417 per year would be charged for Operating Expenses along with $1575 in annual rates.

OUR VIEW

So long, farewell, old friend i-SITE A

nd just like that, the potential for the Ashburton i-SITE building to return in some way to its former glory is gone, set to become a distant memory in the history of Ashburton.

Should we be really surprised that it’s come to this? Probably not.

If you look back on the entire saga in a pragmatic fashion, the chances of anything being agreed on seemed minimal. Ultimately the decision was a forerunner to what we are facing now in the redevelopment and revitalisation of the CBD. The building was never going to be a part of that plan and so, it needed to go and this was the most effective way of doing it.

That’s not a critical comment at the council either, they are there to make these sorts of decisions.

Some of them we like, others, like this one, we clearly don’t.

But the writing was on the wall from the outset with this one.

That didn’t stop the community from trying though. You made it known loud and clear that the building and what it housed was important to you and that you

were disappointed that the outcome had been reached without much consultation.

We’ve had glimmers of hope – the latest the last-minute bid by the Ashburton Info Hub Group who looked set to hold the residence for a year, provided they could reach an agreement with the council and existing tenants, Experience Mid Canterbury.

Before that there was the bid by NZME and our local radio group, Hokonui who pushed hard to relocate to the venue and operate from within its doors as well as providing the normal services of an i-SITE. Sadly both have fallen to the wayside – the former coming to an end yesterday.

And again ultimately, and most

importantly, sadly for those who have fought so hard to have the building reinstated to its former glory, they now have to face the possibility that by the time the dust has settled on the redevelopment of the CBD the building itself looks set to go as well.

And while a lot of people around the district will be disappointed with the news yesterday, those very same people who have stood up and made their voices heard should also be proud of their efforts.

At least they tried. They didn’t allow the community to be backed into a corner and accept decisions that have been made without ramifications or those responsible being called to account.

I’ve lived in this district for a

large amount of my life, admittedly that’s not as long as most, but I can’t remember something bringing so many people together to stand up for what they think is right.

That day down on the chessboard when hundreds of people showed up to state their point was a truly incredible experience to be witness to and it showed what is capable when a community works together.

Sure, it might not have been successful but those charged with running this district learnt very quickly that if this community doesn’t agree, then they’ll hear about it.

Much the same as another contentious issue floating about the waterways at the moment.

It just flowed out of me A

nyone would think it was the fountain of youth the way locals have been reacting to the council decision to move the Three Rivers fountain from East Street to the domain.

I’m not overly attached to the thing to be honest, unlike some in our town, but I’m not really understanding the need and expense for moving it.

Facebook has been running red hot on the topic and the petition doing the rounds has had a lot of support with over 1000 signing it online.

It may not be the fountain of youth but it does have some magic about it according to Sheryl on facebook. She said “the fountain absolutely needs to stay where these amazing flow forms were designed to be. Few know the history of it and God knows whose vision enabled our water feature originally.

“Some years back we had a Water Symposium in Ashburton to raise awareness of our increasing water issues we were facing. The water engineer/hydrologist who came to lend his expertise from the central North Island told us the story behind how Ashburton got flow forms in our town centre.

“We need the positive energy of flow forms now as much as then in our town. Please Ashburton District Council and community lobby against moving the flow forms.”

To his credit, councillor Selwyn Price replied to a few of the fountain comments on my facey page. To one negative comment about moving the feature, he said: “ADC consulted the community on the CBD redevelopment last year. We read all the submissions received and listened to those who presented in hearings.”

Which begged the question, was moving the fountain part of the consultation?

Selwyn’s reply: “we consulted on a concept plan for the entire

I refer to your article on page 11 of the Guardian of July 3 that summarises the ANZ Bank submission on the capital ratio changes proposed by the Reserve Bank of NZ. I was surprised to read the threats by ANZ group chief executive, Shane Elliot, to “review the size, nature and operations of the New Zealand business”, “reduce investment and reallocate resources away from New

CBD redevelopment, and as such it didn’t give that degree of detail. That is standard for public consultation, because detailed planning is done after the community have had their stay.

I do recall submitters commenting on the fountain though, including during the hearings, and those comments contributed to my personal decision to vote to keep the fountain where it is.”

When asked if another empty shop was to replace the fountain, he responded with: “The intention is to create a meeting/ resting space at both intersections on East Street, with a shared pedestrian/cycle path running the length of East Street green.”

So here’s a few thoughts of mine.

Firstly, why do the revitalisation team need a blank canvas to work from? If I was going to redesign and landscape my backyard, I would want to keep my chooks and would instruct the designer to design it around them.

Secondly, why do we need to create a meeting/resting space at both intersections on East Street? We already have them in place, a chessboard with seating and a fountain with seating.

What’s more resting and relaxing than running water, especially with toilets so close. Or are they making way for the cyclists as well?

Finally, what’s the point of making the CBD cycle friendly?

Aren’t the three blocks in the centre of town going to be cycle friendly only? Other than that you’ll be negotiating intersections at Havelock Street, Moore

UN: Attack ‘a war crime’ AP An airstrike that hit a detention centre for migrants near the Libyan capital of Tripoli, killing at least 44 people and wounding dozens of others in an attack that could amount to a war crime, the UN human rights chief says.

The Tripoli-based government blamed the attack on forces associated with Gen. Khalifa Hifter, whose Libyan National Army has been waging an offensive against rival militias in the capital of the war-torn North African country since April.

It refocused attention and raised questions about the European Union’s policy of cooperating with the militias that hold migrants in crowded and squalid detention centres to prevent them from crossing the Mediterranean to seek better lives in Europe.

Most of them were apprehended by the Libyan coast guard, which is funded and trained by the EU to stem the flow of migrants.

At the United Nations, the Security Council held a closed emergency session on the airstrike in Tripoli’s Tajoura neighbourhood, and Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for an independent investigation.

Hifter’s forces said they were targeting a nearby military site, not the detention centre.

There also were suspicions of involvement by foreign countries allied with his forces.

Countries assisting Hifter in-

Mermaid princess found Disney has announced that they have found their mermaid princess for the upcoming live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. Nineteen-year-old singer and actress Halle Bailey is set to take on the iconic role of Ariel. Director Rob Marshall said of Halle’s casting: “After an extensive search, it was abundantly clear that Halle possesses that rare combination of spirit, heart, youth, innocence, and substance – plus a glorious singing voice – all intrinsic qualities necessary to play this iconic role.” Halle’s acting credits include Last Holiday, Let It Shine and most recently the TV series Grown-ish.

Two migrants said the airstrike hit a compound that houses a weapons warehouse and an adjacent detention centre holding about 150 migrants, including several Sudanese and Moroccans. The two spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.

Online video purported to be from inside the detention centre showed blood and human remains mixed with rub-

ble and the belongings of the victims.

The UN gave an initial figure of 44 dead and more than 130 wounded. But the two migrants told the AP that three or four escaped harm and about 20 were wounded. They said the rest were killed, indicating the final death toll could be much higher.

A Moroccan consular official said 15 Moroccans were in the centre and at least three were slightly injured. The fate of the

others was unclear.

Prince Alfani, the Libya medical co-ordinator for Doctors Without Borders, visited the detention centre hours before the airstrike and said it had held 126 migrants. Survivors fear for their lives, he said, urging their immediate evacuation.

Charlie Yaxley, a spokesman for the UN refugee agency, said the detention centre’s proximity to the weapons depot “made it a target for the airstrikes”.

Fire destroys Jim Beam warehouse AP A fire destroyed a massive Jim Beam warehouse filled with about 45,000 barrels of ageing bourbon in Kentucky, and state officials worried that runoff whiskey seeping into nearby waterways would kill fish.

Firefighters from four counties responded to the blaze. It sent flames shooting into the night sky and generated so much heat that firetruck lights melted.

Lightning might have been a factor, but fire investigators haven’t been able to start looking for the cause, Woodford County Emergency Management Director Drew Chandler said.

The warehouse was a total loss. Looking to reassure consumers of Jim Beam bourbon, Beam Suntory indicated it amounted to a drop of the iconic brand’s total ageing inventory.

No injuries were reported, Chandler said. The fire was contained but was allowed to burn, he said.

Flames and smoke rise from a bourbon warehouse fire at a Jim Beam distillery in Woodford County, Kentucky.

PHOTO AP

“The longer it burns, the more of the distilled spirits burn with it,” he said. “So when they go to put it out, there will be less contaminated runoff that goes into a drinking-water tributary.”

Firefighters were dousing the warehouse’s charred remains with water to try to extinguish

the fire, Chandler said. As they kept working, the focus turned to the environmental impact of the leaking bourbon.

The distiller hired an emergency cleanup crew and state environmental officials were co-ordinating efforts to control bourbon runoff into a nearby creek that flows into the Ken-

tucky River, said John Mura, a spokesman for the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet.

“We do know there has been runoff enter the creek,” Mura said. “And it has made its way into the Kentucky River.”

Beam Suntory officials said they are working with authorities to assess environmental effects.

The distilling company said the multi-storey warehouse that burned contained “relatively young whiskey,” meaning it had not reached maturity for bottling for consumers.

Bourbon acquires its colour and flavour while ageing for years in charred new oak barrels.

“Given the age of the lost whiskey, this fire will not impact the availability of Jim Beam for consumers,” the spirits company said in a statement.

The destroyed whiskey amounted to about 1 per cent of Beam’s bourbon inventory, it said.

Scene deleted A cringeworthy scene in the original release of Toy Story 2 was quietly removed from Disney’s re-release of the series last month, ReRelease.com found.

A short 20-second scene – featuring a leering doll named Stinky Pete offering twin Barbies parts in the next movie – shows Pete asking short skirt-clad twins: “So you two are absolutely identical?”

The old prospector then laughs, grabs the hand of one Barbie and says, “You know, I’m sure I could get you a part in Toy Story 3.” When Pete realises the camera is on him, he says “I’m sorry, are we back?” nervously before shooing the girls out of his toy packaging.

#MeToo ‘ruined me’ Actor turned comedian Jeremy Piven has said the #MeToo movement tarnished his reputation and cut short his acting career.

The actor says his role as the sleazy, womanising Hollywood agent Ari Gold in HBO’s long running dramedy Entourage made him an “easy target” after Harvey Weinstein was outed for his terrible and predatory behaviour. After the Weinstein scandal multiple women came forward claiming Piven had acted inappropriately towards them, including allegations of forceful sexual behaviour, but police felt they did not warrant investigations and Piven immediately denied all accusations.

out of a small balcony

By Helen Carefoot nzme

When interior designer Kyra Williams lived in Paris, she was always happy to see her fellow city dwellers perched on their balconies, enjoying coffee with friends.

“If you’re in the heart of an amazing city, your apartment is probably really tiny, so real estate is important,” says Williams. Even the smallest, narrowest balcony can be a great place to relax and entertain.

“Consider your balcony part of the square footage of your space and really utilise it.”

Here’s how to transform your postagestamp-size balcony into an outdoor oasis, according to experts.

Decide how to use the space “Whenever I go into designing a space, I really try to think about how the people living in that space are going to use it,” Williams says. The needs of someone who aims to create a cosy reading nook for one will differ from those of someone looking to host outdoor gatherings. If you want a space to fill more than one role, consider multifunctional or adjustable pieces that can be moved around as needed.

To get the most seating out of narrow, rectangular balconies, Williams suggests lining a long bench with cushions.

“That way you could seat five or six people, whereas a table and chairs can really only seat two.” Storage benches can be used to stow items and can be repositioned (keep in mind that it’s best to store items inside if you’re worried about them staying dry). For those on a shoestring budget, she says, you could buy stackable storage crates and layer with cushions to create DIY seating and storage.

Fellow US interior designer Cynthia Hoyt agrees: “You can turn basically anything into a dining situation.” (She once threw a tablecloth over a moving box for a temporary outdoor dining surface at an old apartment.) If you’re

faced with the choice of a table set or lounge seating area due to space constraints, Hoyt would prioritise a casual seating area and add a small table, especially if you already have a dining area inside.

Williams likes metal or ceramic garden stools, which can be used as end tables or as additional seating indoors or outdoors.

For long, narrow balconies that wouldn’t fit a table and chairs comfortably, Williams suggests a bar top that either slides on top of the railing or stands against it (check with your landlord or body corporate to see whether it’s okay to hang items off the balcony or on the railings). “You can fit more people without giving up any of the floor space,” she says.

She also likes the classic bistro look she saw so much of in Paris, if space allows. “If you have a bigger space or a square space, I love a good round cafe table with some chairs,” she says.

If you only need to seat one person, Williams says, a hammock or hanging egg chair is a fun option. There are numerous ways to hang one from the ceiling (check the architecture of your space and the rules of your rental agreement), and many come with stands that don’t rely on the building for support.

Add greenery and privacy Plants can beautify small outdoor spaces. Williams personally loves red geraniums (she spotted the flowers in windowboxes everywhere in Paris) and herbs. To find out what plants are suited to the climate you live in, check with local nurseries for recommendations.

Hoyt suggests considering the amount of sunlight the balcony gets. If you’re short on floor space, Williams suggests using planters that attach to railings or hang from the ceiling.

Hoyt has a potted rosebush and likes the look of the cascading tendrils on pothos vines hung from the ceiling or on a high shelf. She also likes to position

odd numbers of plants in rows. “You can find a lot of really affordable, amazing hanging wall planters to pot herbs in,” she says. “If you have three plants, you could have three in a row, and it feels balanced.”

It can be hard to get privacy on the balcony of a high-rise apartment building. “I think a lot of people maybe don’t use their balcony because it doesn’t feel private,” she says. Plants and screens can help. “Plants not only look beautiful, but they also give a sense of calm.” Station taller potted plants that grow straight up, such as bamboo, or climbing plants such as a vine or jasmine, near the edge of a balcony to create a natural barrier.

For those who don’t possess a green thumb, a patterned metal or wroughtiron privacy screen provides visual interest and privacy without blocking sunlight, breezes or your view. Hoyt suggests adding roll-down shades or hanging linen or canvas curtains on a tension rod or with zip ties for retractable privacy and a little added protection from bugs.

Create layered lighting Both Hoyt and Williams suggest adding additional light sources beyond the wall sconce that probably came with your balcony. Stick with LED lights that are meant for outdoors and add different levels of lighting to create a layered, cozy look.

“If you’re renting an apartment you might not be able to paint or completely change the floors or get rid of a weird built-in thing, but if there’s a light fixture out there that’s not really your style, you could change out the lightbulb or get a new sconce,” Hoyt says. “Personally I think that literally every outdoor space should have bistro lights.” She says to look for solar-powered or batterypowered LED string lights to cut down on ugly cords running into the house and through the space.

“If you have an overhead lantern and it’s really ugly, string some lights around

it as the centerpiece,” Williams says, with the strings extending out like the spokes of a wheel. Alternatively, she suggests zigzagging string lights across the top of the balcony to create a roof of soft light. Williams also suggests placing battery-operated tea lights inside clear, square lanterns on the ground and on tables to create low light.

“Get multiple heights, a shorter one and a taller one next to it, to move the eye around the space and make it a little more interesting,” she says. Hoyt likes to mix and match shapes and colours and advises buying one lantern that has an interesting design element, such as intricate cutouts.

Both Hoyt and Wiliams suggest buying bulbs that emit warm white light, rather than severe yellow or white light.

“It brings more warmth and cosiness and a more romantic atmosphere, as opposed to the bright light, which to me feels more hospitable-like and not welcoming,” Williams says.

Add comfort and personality Your average apartment balcony is likely to start out cold and dreary, with ugly concrete floors and metal railings. Williams suggests covering the floor with flat-weave outdoor rugs, natural-woven fibre rugs (try jute, sisal or sea grass for a tropical look) or wood decking that snaps together for easy assembly. These pieces make the space look more complete and create extra cushion underfoot. “Rugs are your friend,” Hoyt says. “Buy as many affordable rugs as you can and layer those different textures. That way you have a little more visual interest and it starts to feel more unique to you.”

Pillows and throws make for a cosy finishing touch. Hoyt likes linen and woven fabrics for thick material that won’t stain. For cushions and pillows that stand up to weather and wear.

However, Hoyt and Williams both say you can bring indoor textiles outdoors easily, as long as you remember to bring them inside and shake off any dust when you’re done.

Sometimes you look around your home and groan. Most people don’t have the luxury of making over a space all at once, much less hiring an interior designer to do so. When money is tight, you might have to upgrade your place bit by bit.

Luckily, slowly adding pieces helps to create a collected, personalised look.

We asked several designers what single item they would add to a living room or bedroom to create the most impact on a tight budget.

You can do more with $20 than you think. For a bedroom upgrade, US designers Meghan Hackett Cassidy and Erin Hackett suggest buying small decorative items such as picture frames, boxes or dishes to spruce up bare dressers or bedside tables. These items add personality to a space for marginal cost and help tame all the odds and ends that might normally clutter surfaces.

Switching out boring or old hardware on dressers, nightstands and cabinets is another low-cost way to make used or inexpensive pieces look more highend. This easy DIY project involves unscrewing the old knobs and securing the new hardware with nuts, bolts and washers.

You can find textiles such as soft throws to add comfort and texture to a space at almost any price point.

“Cotton and chenille are soft and are good for every season,” Hackett Cassidy says. This is also a chance to

play with textures, colours and patterns and an easy way to switch up the colour scheme of a room seasonally.

Many people think a single source of light is enough in a room, but often one lamp isn’t sufficient. Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the tone of a room, and using multiple lights with varying levels of brightness creates dimension and flexibility for activities such as reading, cleaning or entertaining.

Hackett Cassidy suggests spending $100 on a pair of lamps to create soft, low light in a room. She favours symmetry in her work and likes to station pairs of lamps on bedside tables or dressers to add polish and create a feeling of cohesiveness. At $50 per lamp, she says it’s possible to find wellmade pieces that are both appealing and functional. “The shade is half the battle because oftentimes you buy a really inexpensive lamp that comes with a shade you end up needing to replace,” she says.

“No matter what the environment is, lighting can totally transform a space,” says designer Mel Bean. Even if new lighting isn’t an option, a simple and affordable upgrade — a dimmer switch — can make your existing lighting scheme more versatile. Plug-in dimmers, which are usually controlled with a sliding button, can be easily added to table and floor lamps by plugging the lamp into the device. For a little more money, you can rewire wall switches to have dimming capabilities.

From an aesthetic standpoint, curtains and shades add warmth and

softness, and they help with privacy and light control.

“A window treatment can be one of the basic things you do that makes a space feel finished, even if it’s far from it,” Bean says.

Custom panels can cost thousands of dollars, but Bean’s team has a hack: Buy basic lined curtains and take them to a local seamstress to be pleated.

“You likely can’t even buy fabric for that cheap,” she says. “Take it as high as you can to accentuate the height of the ceiling and hang the rod wide so the drapes stack beside the window,” she says.

If you have a sewing machine, you could even add trim or embellishments.

She likes the softness of drapes in living rooms but says Roman shades also provide a similar function, usually at a lower price. In some spaces, such as kids’ rooms or windows over the sink, it makes more sense to avoid the extra yardage of billowing material.

Because we spend so much time in our beds, a new set of high-quality bedding — bedsheets, a duvet cover or quilt, and shams — can have a huge impact. “It freshens up the room,” Hackett Cassidy says. She usually starts with white bedding and looks for comforters and duvet covers with colourful accents or fun details to create visual interest. “Figure out which pieces you want to start from, then base the other colours and textures off the rest of the room,” Hackett Cassidy says.

“Bed Bath & Beyond has very basic

*At the time of printing items for someone on a budget who wants that luxurious bed with a coverlet, duvet and shams,” Hackett Cassidy says. “That’s somewhere we would suggest shopping to achieve that overall look without blowing the budget.”

Your basic box spring or metal bed frame has major potential for an upgrade, Hackett Cassidy says: A headboard ties a room together.

Choose a bright colour, a rich fabric or an ornate pattern to create a focal point for the room, or stick with the same colour scheme to anchor the other furnishings. Upholstered and tufted headboards are in style and can provide a little extra cushion for people who like to sit up and read in bed.

“Headboards add dimension to the room and are practical and comfy,” Hackett Cassidy says.

Focus ST – the need for speed T welve per cent more powerful.

Twelve per cent faster.

Ford today revealed that the all-new Ford Focus ST five-door sprints from 0‑62mph in 5.7 seconds – 0.8 seconds quicker than the previous generation model.

Powered by a 280PS 2.3-litre EcoBoost petrol engine – 30PS more than the preceding Focus ST – the all-new model also achieves even faster in-gear acceleration than the acclaimed previous generation Focus RS. Twin-scroll turbocharging technology contributes to segment-leading peak torque of 420Nm for immediate response to throttle inputs, and an innovative anti-lag system enables rapid delivery of boost on demand.

Flat-shift capability for the six-speed manual gearbox and Launch Control* also help optimise standing start performance.

“The all-new Focus ST is about more than just straight-line speed, but the ability to go toe-to-toe with the now legendary Focus RS over a quarter-mile sprint shows just how much the Ford Performance team has moved the game on in the last four years,” said Leo Roeks, Ford Performance director, Europe. “We’ve drawn inspiration from the Ford GT supercar, F‑150 Raptor pick-up, Ford Mustang and Fiesta ST to develop a Focus ST capable of punching you in the back the moment you hit the throttle.”

The Focus ST 2.3-litre EcoBoost’s low-inertia twin-scroll turbocharger scavenges exhaust gasses more effectively to optimise

the energy transferred into the turbine wheel – producing more power and delivering boost pressure faster.

Separated exhaust channels transfer the gas pulses from cylinders one and four, and two and three – minimising pulse interference for a consistent flow of energy.

Anti-lag technology can electronically hold the throttle open for up to three seconds after the driver backs off the accelerator, alleviating the reversal of airflow from the turbocharger to maintain compressor wheel speed.

By keeping the turbocharger primed

for immediate response and maintaining positive pressure in the intake manifold when off throttle, the innovative technology allows faster resumption of both boost pressure and optimised combustion when the driver returns to the accelerator.

In addition, an electronically actuated turbocharger waste-gate allows closer control of boost pressures for enhanced engine performance.

Flat-shift capability can also help deliver ultimate standing start acceleration by automatically emulating anti-lag and holding the throttle open as the driver

disengages the clutch to shift up through the short-throw, six-speed manual gearbox – thereby maximising turbocharger response.

A gear-shift indicator light, available with the optional Performance Pack, lets drivers know the optimal point to change gears, and Launch Control can be engaged to maximise grip off the line for consistently fast standing starts.

The all-new Focus ST’s straight-line speed is matched by its cornering ability, optimised using Ford’s first electronic limited-slip differential for a front-wheel drive model.

Incorporated into the six-speed manual and seven-speed automatic transmissions for 2.3-litre EcoBoost models, the system uses hydraulically activated clutches to redistribute up to 100 per cent of available engine torque to the wheel with more traction to counteract wheelspin.

The result is increased agility and a significant reduction in understeer during acceleration through, and out of, corners.

Faster to deploy and offering greater precision than a traditional mechanical limited-slip differential the system can pre-emptively adjust torque distribution using inputs from powertrain and vehicle dynamics sensors, and can apply differential locking gradually for fine-tuning performance.

The Focus ST also delivers greater stopping power than even the previous generation Focus RS, with 330mm front discs and front callipers each housing two 44mm diameter pistons.

JAG J

enny Thompson was at primary school when she first dreamt of owning a Jaguar.

The dream was inspired by seeing a very elegant neighbour driving her magnificent Jaguar saloon.

Jenny knew her neighbour was a lovely lady and everything about the car – the style, the colour – appealed to Jenny.

Along with other things, Jenny has gone on to be a well-known artist, so her recognition of the superb features of the Jaguar were an early indication of her sense of design.

Jenny says she didn’t have a particular interest in cars, she just immediately knew Jaguars appealed to her.

Jenny then met her late husband Norm, who worked in the motor trade.

Later they established their own business and Jenny assisted in the office.

Many years after she had first seen the neighbours’ Jaguar, Jenny noticed a really stylish silver-blue S Type Jaguar about town.

Her dream was awakened, and she told Norm how much she liked that car and how much she would like one like it.

Secretly Norm went on the hunt for a Jaguar, and he found an identical S Type for sale in Christchurch.

He decided the car would make a great surprise birthday present for Jenny, but at that stage her birthday was six months away.

The seller agreed to store the car for some of that time ,but a little while before Jenny’s birthday Norm had to spirit the car to Ashburton.

There was space at their business, but of course if the car was parked there Jenny would

Bernard Egan MOTORING

see it, so during the day Norm would park the car elsewhere and then after Jenny left for the day the car was brought inside overnight.

There were a few times when Norm arrived home only to remember he hadn’t parked the Jaguar in the workshop, so had to make an excuse to go back to work.

Finally the big day came and Norm arranged a birthday party.

He told Jenny and some family members he needed to call into work and invited them to come too.

On arrival Jenny was stunned to see their workshop was empty except for one very special car – her birthday present, the silver blue S Type – highlighted and looking resplendent under bright lights.

Naturally Jenny was amazed and 45 years later recalls her tears of joy.

In the years since, Jenny and Norm retained the S Type, but also purchased later model Jaguars, and not so many years ago the S Type was sold.

Jenny says each of the Jaguars they have owned had their own distinctive features and characteristics and she has liked them all.

They were all saloon models, most powered with V8 motors.

Not long before Norm passed away he suggested to Jenny she should get a sports model.

So she began thinking about that and last year looked at some Jaguars being sold in Christchurch.

Among them was an XK8 sports coupe, the same colour as her first Jaguar.

Jenny wondered what she should do, and then noticed the number plate contained her initials.

That seemed like a good omen and helped the decision making process, so Jenny traded her Jaguar Sovereign saloon and came home in the 4.2 litre V8 Coupe.

It was a good omen.

Jenny says the XK8 is quite a change from her previous cars.

The styling is different and there are two less doors but the traditional streamlined Jaguar styling and interior refinements remain.

“I’m enjoying the sporty feel of the XK8 which is a delight to drive”, says Jenny who goes on to say “Because of their looks it’s no wonder people often liken Jaguars to cats on the prowl”.

Others often tell Jenny her car sounds great, but she says that’s the one slight disadvantage of driving it – she doesn’t get to hear it from the inside.

Jenny is enjoying contact with other owners and has been on some great outings with them.

The XK8 is the seventh Jaguar in Jenny’s life and it’s a perfect match.

Jenny and the XK8 are just right for one another.

Jokingly Jenny says the lady who inspired her keenness for Jaguars set a high standard for her dream.

A dream which has come true several times over, and along the way brought much happiness.

ollowing final homologation, the specifications of Triumph’s new 2500cc triple Rocket 3 engine can now be confirmed as exceeding the numbers shared at launch by a considerable amount.

With 182 PS peak power and 225 Nm of peak torque the new Rocket 3 TFC has well and truly cemented its place as the most powerful production Triumph in history.

The customer and press response to this exclusive ultra-premium motorcycle has been incredible, with many deposits taken across the world by dealers immediately after the bike was revealed for the first time in January.

Australia has seen an extremely high interest with a demand that has surpassed the number allocated, and has resulted in the Rocket 3 TFC selling out with all available models now fully committed.

Triumph’s legendary Rocket III, launched in 2004, was renowned as a pure original with more muscle, presence and torque than any of the competition.

Now the all new Triumph Factory Custom Rocket 3 re-defines its own class with heart-stopping muscular presence, category-dominating technology, beautiful features and the highest level of premium specification equipment.

The second Triumph TFC to be launched and a British engineering masterpiece – the new 2019 Rocket 3 TFC is designed to be nothing short of the ultimate motorcycle.

With only 750 ever being sold worldwide, the Rocket TFC is Triumph’s most exclusive and desirable motorcycle.

Featuring premium TFC badging with gold detailing and a beautiful individually-numbered plaque on the instrument mount, each one will be completely unique and never to be repeated.

At 2500cc, the all new higher capacity, and world’s biggest, motorcycle production engine, is central to the 2019 Rocket 3 TFC’s class-defining performance, delivering 225Nm, the world’s highest torque, a staggering 74 per cent more than its closest competitors and the most powerful Triumph to date.

With incredibly imposing poise and stance and beautifully distinctive details, such as new signature twin LED headlights, the new Rocket 3 TFC features unique lightweight carbon fibre bodywork, including front mud-guard, silencer end caps and exhaust heat shields, fly screen, drive shaft cover, heel guards and tank strap.

Additional exquisite finish and detailing includes the one-ofa-kind premium twin ‘carbon black and matt carbon black’ paint scheme with brushed foil decals, gold accents and electroformed 3D Triumph badge, and elegantly hidden pillion footrests contributing to clean minimal rear end.

History repeats

B

entley has created a unique, Limited Edition model that pays homage to the legendary No. 1 Bentley Blower of 1929.

The Continental GT Convertible Number 1 Edition by Mulliner is a modern interpretation of a truly iconic racing car, and features 18 carat gold plated fender badging and a remarkable piece of history, cast from a piston from the original No.1, set within the innovative Bentley Rotating Display.

Based on the Bentley Continental GT Convertible, the world’s definitive opentop Grand Tourer, the Number 1 Edition is restricted to just 100 bespoke examples.

Handcrafted in England during Bentley’s centenary year, the exhilarating open-top model contains exquisite design elements that celebrate some of the pioneering individuals from the marque’s first 100 years.

The Number 1 Edition showcases a range of bespoke features that encapsulate the spirit of a golden era of motorsport.

Available in either Dragon Red II or Beluga, and with a Claret or Beluga folding hood, the Limited Edition is equipped with a Centenary Pack, Bentley Black

Line Specification and Carbon Body Kit, rounded off by the painted Number 1 front grille.

At the heart of the Number 1 Edition sits an enhanced version of Bentley’s renowned 6.0-litre, twin-turbocharged W12 TSI engine.

Just like the original, supercharged Blower of 1929, it provides exhilarating and agile performance, representing the pinnacle of contemporary car design.

The new Number 1 Edition offers Bentley customers the exclusive and rare opportunity to own a vehicle that embodies the true spirit of the marques racing history.

The new Number 1 Edition harks back to that remarkable vehicle, a car that is responsible for some of the most memorable moments in Bentley’s illustrious past.

Just 100 examples will be made during the Crewe-based marque’s centenary year, further enhancing the Number 1 Edition’s exclusivity.

A painted Number 1 front grille is complemented with an 18 carat gold plated fender badge, jewelled filler and oil caps, and 22-inch MDS wheels in either Cricket Ball or Gloss Black finish.

yundai New Zealand this week revealed the all-new NEXO, New Zealand’s first zero emissions hydrogen powered SUV. Whilst NEXO is Hyundai Motor Company’s second-generation of commercialised fuel cell electric vehicle, it’s a first for New Zealand.

Hyundai New Zealand General Manager Andy Sinclair says: “This is truly an incredible milestone for Hyundai New Zealand to be able to introduce NEXO, a culmination of our cutting-edge technologies and the flagship of our growing eco-vehicle portfolio.

“NEXO embodies our commitment to advanced eco-friendly vehicle development.”

NEXO not only produces zero emissions, but also has an advanced air purification system which filters 99.9 per cent of very fine dust (PM2.5), emitting only water and clean air into the environment.

An on-board electric motor produces a remarkable 120kW and a torque of 395 Nm, drawing power from an under-bonnet fuel cell stack, which combines oxygen from the surrounding air with hydrogen from NEXO’s high-pressure storage tanks.

The result is electricity to power the

e new Supra is the first global model of TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s GR sports car series.

Ever since first competing in Germany’s 24 Hours of Nürburgring endurance race in 2007, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has been aiming through its motorsports activities to develop its cars and people, with the goal of “making ever-better cars.”

The knowledge and know-how it has built up over the years have been funnelled into bringing the Supra back to life in the form of the “GR Supra”, as a car that people the world over will find fun to drive.

“This is an iconic car, with an exciting spirit and large fan base,” says Andrew Davis, Toyota New Zealand’s General Manager of Marketing. “We knew with this car we had to do a public reveal, and the CRC Speedshow is the ideal venue for that. We would love to see all Supra fans there, for what will be a truly exciting reveal.”

The Toyota site will also have on display the newly revealed TOYOTA GAZOO Racing FT60 race car, and the Toyota 86.

This will be the first time the FT60 will be available for the public to view.

The CRC Speedshow will run over the weekend of July 20-21 2019, at the ASB Showgrounds in Auckland.

motor and charge the battery.

With full tanks of hydrogen on board, NEXO is capable of traveling 605km before it needs to refuel, which takes just a few minutes.

“We are entering an exciting time in the evolution of motoring and we are proud to lead the charge in advancing fuel technologies globally and here in New Zealand.

“The exact date for NEXO going to market in New Zealand ultimately depends on New Zealand’s ability to provide the infrastructure for the hydrogen fuelling stations.

“New Zealand has an abundance of renewable electricity that could be used to produce hydrogen in a sustainable way,” adds Mr Sinclair.

Mark Tisshaw, Editor of Autocar, said: “Hyundai has become a world leader in advancing alternative fuel technologies, and developing them to production maturity before its rivals.

“Hot on the heels of its Kona Electric – arguably a game changer itself – Hyundai has quickly launched NEXO, a new, hydrogen-powered SUV you can buy right now.

“Actually, it’s the latest of several generations of hydrogen fuel cell Hyundais, launched while most car makers are still years behind.”

■■FONTERRA

Share price heading south Fonterra’s share price is sinking like a stone.

It’s now 30 per cent lower than this time last year but reaction to the slump is as soft as the stock itself.

Yesterday alone the price of Fonterra shares and units in those shares on the NZX fell by 26c or 6.9 per cent to $3.49 in light trading. The fall took its market capitalisation to $5.6 billion, compared to $6.4 billion just one month ago on June 4.

Units in Fonterra shares listed in 2012 at $5.50, quickly jumping to $6.67.

In May 2013 they hit $8. In the past month the price has fallen by more than 35c.

Market analysts say the steady journey south is unsurprising given the embattled dairy company’s forecast earnings downgrade in May and lack of progress announcements since it started a major restructure and strategy review under new leadership late last year.

And while Fonterra’s farmer-owners are far from happy,

they say the share price is not a measure of the company’s value, which is in its assets.

Cambridge farmer-shareholder Garry Reymer said a bigger issue is falling land prices and low farmer confidence, despite firm primary produce prices.

“We are in a holding pattern and that is frustrating while we wait to see what they come up with.

“I’m not worried about the share price but I do want to know what they plan about strategy and capital structure. The two go together.”

Farmers vote to sell Embattled Westland dairy company farmers have voted to sell their co-operative to Chinese dairy giant Yili. Chairman Pete Morrison said 93.7 per cent of votes cast were in favour of the sale, and 89.8 per cent of votes able to be cast supported the move. Around 6 per cent of votes were against the sale and 10 votes abstained. Yili is offering farmers $3.41 a share. Independent advisor Grant Samuel valued the shares at between 88c and $1.38.

Water reform needed Council-owned and operated water suppliers should be merged and corporatised if they can’t improve on their own, the Productivity Commission says. It says the threewaters sector needs “fundamental” reform, and noted the government is considering extensive changes to the sector’s regulatory framework and how it is funded. “Considerable evidence shows poor performance of the three waters sector in many parts of New Zealand, in terms of their impact on human health, the natural environment, productivity and costs to consumers and ratepayers,” the commission said in a draft report on local government funding arrangements.

■■THE WEEK IN REVIEW

Compiled by

Harbour Asset Management senior research analyst Oyvinn Rimer said the share price was mapping earnings “quite well”.

Two years ago analysts were expecting Fonterra to deliver 60c earnings per share, he said.

Now earnings looked likely to be more like 14c per share, following revised forecast earnings per share of 10-15c from 15-25c in May. “So there’s been this enormous reduction in earnings expectations and that is the fundamental reason why the share price has drifted lower.

“People have had a really bad experience being in the shareholders’ fund (FSF). There’s never really been a great shareholder experience.

“Over time that has gotten worse and patience among remaining unit holders has worn out.”

Rimer doubts there are any institutional investors still in the FSF. Craigs Investment Partners head of wealth research Mark Lister said there is simply no catalyst for Fonterra shares to rise.

The price fall was the result of a combination of factors including a weaker full year earnings outlook and “all the issues” with Fonterra, he said.

“Too much debt, the cost structure is too high and there are still question marks over its co-operative structure and whether it delivers to all stakeholders.”

Outsiders can buy dividend-carrying units in Fonterra’s farmer-owned shares but they cannot vote on how the company is run.

Investors running for cover

T

he NZX 50 advanced 3.8 per cent for the month of June and 6.7 per cent during the second quarter.

The local market is now 19.2 per cent higher for the year, as record low interest rates and falling bond yields drive investors to equities paying reliable dividends.

The Global Dairy Trade (GDT) slump continued this week, with the headline index falling 0.4 per cent.

This marks the fourth consecutive drop for the GDT index, following on from 11 consecutive rises earlier in the year.

The price of butter fell 4.8 per cent and butter milk powder tumbled 11.9 per cent.

Anhydrous milk fat and cheddar fell by 1.9 per cent and 1.5 per cent, respectively. Skim milk powder was up 3.2 per cent while the price of whole milk powder was unchanged.

Dairy stocks were mixed following the auction.

The a2 Milk Company ended up 2.5 per cent at $15.07, but Synlait Milk logged one of the steepest declines with a 2.7 per cent drop to $9.05, while Fonterra closed at an all-time low at $3.75.

Across the Tasman, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cut its Official Cash Rate to 1.0 per cent, the lowest level on record, as it tries to boost the economy enough to drive down unemployment and lift wages.

RBA Governor Philip Lowe cut rates 25 basis points for a second consecutive month, its first backto-back cut in interest rates since 2012.

Shares in all of the major banks

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

fell following the announcement, however, ANZ was the only bank to pass on the cut in full to its customers.

National Australia Bank, Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Westpac did not pass on the full amount.

Staying in Australia, the price of iron ore (Australia’s biggest export) surged above US$123 a ton this week in response to supply concerns and increasing Chinese steel production.

Iron ore has soared 60 per cent this year after a dam disaster in Brazil and bad weather in Australia hurt mine production and underpinned forecasts for a global shortfall.

The value of monthly iron ore shipments surged to A$8.8bn, the highest on record. That was up almost 17 per cent from April and 65 per cent from a year earlier.

It has also helped company profits and government coffers, allowing Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s administration to forecast the first budget surplus in over a decade in 2020.

Global sharemarkets were lifted at the start of the week after the United States and China agreed to restart talks at the G20 summit, leading investors to bet that a breakthrough between the world’s two largest economies would

jumpstart global economic growth.

Some investors, however, questioned the lack of detail in the agreement. The S&P 500 closed at an all-time high for a third straight day on Wednesday. The Dow Jones also closed at a record.

In economic releases, private payrolls in the US increased by 102,000 in June, weaker than expectations for 135,000. The disappointing data strengthens the Federal Reserve’s case for lowering rates at its monetary policy meeting at the end of the month.

Last month, the central bank opened the door to easier monetary policy by stating it will “act as appropriate” to maintain the current economic expansion.

Trade tensions turned to Europe this week after the US proposed tariffs on US$4bn worth of European Union goods, amidst an ongoing dispute over aircraft subsidies.

The US Trade Representative’s office released a list of products, including olives, Italian cheese and Scotch whisky, that could be hit with new levies – in addition to those introduced in April.

Meanwhile, EU leaders agreed to nominate International Monetary Fund Chief Christine Lagarde as the new head of the European Central Bank. Eurozone bond yields tumbled on the news, and defensive stocks rallied as investors placed bets that Lagarde will be a fan of low interest rates.

■■JUNIOR DRIVERS

Harrison going back-to-back

By Jonny Turner Alicia Harrison only has to follow in the footsteps of the country’s greatest ever driver to win this weekend’s New Zealand Junior Drivers Championship.

The Morrinsville reinswoman will start work on winning backto-back titles when she competes in its first two heats at Addington tonight.

It’s a feat that each of the championship winners, who are effectively a who’s who of the national driving ranks, have not been able to achieve since 1982.

Then, Tony Herlihy dead heated with Jim Curtin to win his second New Zealand Junior Drivers Championship in a row.

Harrison said she will take a light-hearted approach to her task of following in the footsteps of New Zealand’s greatest ever reinsman.

And that her main focus will be on giving each of the four series heats her best.

“I’m feeling the pressure then, if the last one was Tony,” she quipped.

“I will just do my best and see how I go.”

Harrison was the star of last year’s championship, producing two wins and a placing from her four drives.

The thought of doing it all again has her buzzing.

“I am really excited, it was a great trip last year.”

“There is a great bunch of kids again this year, so hopefully it will be a great trip.”

Few of the drivers competing in the competition would have dreamed of starting their quest for glory behind a rating 40 trotter, who is about to turn 12 years old.

Ashburton Guardian 29

In brief Melody Belle on target The darling of the New Zealand turf is nearing a return to the track after a favourable winter preparation. Melody Belle, who is all but assured of taking home the title of New Zealand Horse of the Year after winning five Group One races this season, has pleased trainer Jamie Richards with her work and he said she will likely trial at Te Rapa in the coming weeks.

“We are looking forward to next season with her,” he said. “She has done well through the winter and she will trial in about ten days at Te Rapa. She will have a couple of trials like she did last year.” - NZME

Doomben on agenda

Alicia Harrison is excited to get the chance to repeat last year’s winning run.

However Anothersuperstar looks a better chance than that may suggest.

“Her form lately has been pretty good,” Harrison said.

“She has been in such good form because she has got such good stand start manners.”

“Hopefully we will be able to get a good trip, she looks like a pretty honest trotter.”

Anothersuperstar will start from barrier 8 behind the mobile in Friday night’s first heat, which negates her excellent standing start manners.

The Ricky Allen-trained squar-

egaiter takes on an even line-up of trotters.

Skyline and Craig Smith, Bright Glow and Mark Hurrell and Diana Harbour and Dylan Ferguson look to be the biggest threats to Harrison and Anothersuperstar.

Harrison will drive consistent pacer Cheezel in heat two of the series.

The Brian Fahey-trained 4-year-old looks well placed in the race as one of its highest rated runners.

“She is one of the highest rated horses in it, hopefully she can get a nice trip in to it from the draw

and I think she should be a really nice chance.”

Kimberly Butt looks well placed to take maxiumum points in heat two with Friend.

Hot Starff for Benjamin Butcher, Leading The Way for Luke Whittaker and Smoke N Reactor for John Morrison also look strong chances.

Harrison looks to have drawn two handy chances on the second day of the competition at Rangiora on Sunday.

She will drive Caesar’s Quest in heat 3 and Pine Cone in the final heat of the championship.

Cambridge trainer Tony Pike has experienced a successful Queensland winter campaign, headlined by The Bostonian’s Group One double, and he is hoping to cap it off in style at Doomben on Saturday. Stable runner Cyber Attack will contest the QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap (1350m) after two previous unplaced runs in Australia this preparation and Pike expects a better result tomorrow with the gelding. “If he brings his best form, he should go close,” he said. Cyber Attack won’t be Pike’s last runner in Australia this winter, with Sacred Day set to contest the Listed Grafton Cup next week.

- NZME

Ralph’s standout season Te Awamutu horseman Stephen Ralph has experienced one of his biggest seasons-to-date and he can now call himself a Group Onewinning trainer after the deeds of Santa Monica in the Railway (1200m) at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day. It was a career highlight for Ralph who later in the season picked up his second stakes win of the term when Speedy Meady dead-heated the Gr.3 Cambridge Breeders’ Stakes at Te Rapa with Vigor Winner. “The prizemoney has been great and the two stakes wins have been awesome.” - NZME

■■JOCKEYS PREMIERSHIP

Parkes not one for chasing the records With just one win required to match his best tally for a season and just five wins behind National Jockey Premiership leader, Wanganui’s Lisa Allpress, you could be forgiven for thinking Johnathan Parkes was plotting a huge month in July.

On the contrary, the popular Wanganui horseman is happy to just go with the flow and take a what will be will be attitude into the final weeks of the 2018/19 racing season.

A winning treble at Hastings last weekend saw Parkes notch his 117th victory for the season (he rode 118 winners in 2013/14), with a strike rate of 4.97, second only to Opie Bosson (4.48) in the top 40 riders on the premiership ladder.

Despite that success Parkes admits he isn’t one to chase records or the like.

“I’m really happy with how my season has gone but I’m not chas-

ing the premiership or anything like that,” he said.

“I’m not a natural lightweight so over the last couple of winters I’ve actually ridden a little heavier in the winter so I can look after myself.

“I generally ride at around 54.5kg in the summer but in the winter now I’m walking around 56kg. It is really tough to be wasting and the like in the winter so it’s better for me to ride at a weight I’m comfortable with.

“I’ll be back to the lower weight once the spring rolls around but the extra weight limits what I can ride at this time of the year so things like chasing premierships etc are not realistic, so I just don’t worry about it.”

Given he is riding so well it seems odds on that he will break his personal best tally of wins for a season, a feat that Parkes will be pleased to achieve.

“I’ve had a really good season

and I’ve managed to get on some very nice horses,” he said.

“I’ve had terrific support from trainers wherever I’ve ridden, including when I’ve gone either north or south to ride at the bigger carnivals and the like.

“I’m very thankful for that sup-

port as without it you just don’t get the opportunities you need to be successful.”

While other jockeys and trainers may be planning a mid-winter break in warmer climates, Parkes will be staying closer to home to see in the new season.

“I know some jockeys head over to places like Fiji and the like towards the end of July but I’m happy staying here and riding right through,” he said.

“There are some good meetings coming up like the winter carnival in Christchurch so if I can get some good rides I’ll definitely be going there as I love riding at Riccarton.

“Hopefully a horse like Comeback, who I’ve won a couple on, will go for the Winter Cup, (Gr.3, 1600m) as he is one I would definitely go down to ride.

“In the meantime, I just want to be getting ready for another big season and hopefully getting on horses that can be competitive at the highest level which is what every jockey wants.”

Allpress will be difficult to peg back. She won the 2015/16 season with 171 winners and is closing in on her 1500th career victory with 1489 on the board already.

■■INDOOR BOWLS

Bowlers chasing zone success

Rowena Mackenzie will be a part of the Ashburton Mixed Fours side heading to the zone playoff in Oamaru this weekend.

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN

A group of local Ashburton indoor bowlers will head out of town this weekend in the hope of earning themselves a spot at a national final later in the season.

This weekend marks the zone playoff stages in the Mixed Pairs, Mixed Fours and Masters Fours with Ashburton sides heading to Oamaru to square off against teams from North Otago, Canterbury and South Canterbury with the winner advancing to the national final.

Ashburton was to have three teams competing, but due to unforeseen circumstances their Mixed Fours side has had to withdraw from their competition.

However, Mark Sheard and Helen Rennie will line up in the Mixed Pairs event tomorrow morning against three other strong pairs combinations.

All competitions are played in a round robin format with the most successful team at the end of the play being determined as the zone winner.

In the Mixed Fours event, Ashburton

will be represented by Ken Mackenzie, Graeme Chapman, Chris Talbot and Rowena Mackenzie.

On Sunday the Ashburton Paterson Trophy team will head to Timaru to take on their South Canterbury counterparts in a warm-up match ahead of the Paterson zone playoffs later this month.

Unlike the Mixed Pairs and Fours competition, Ashburton and South Canterbury play in different zones for the Paterson with Ashburton taking on sides from the West Coast, Canterbury, Marlborough, Nelson and Golden Bay Motueka while South Canterbury tackles North Otago, Otago, Central Otago, South Otago and Southland.

The two teams have been meeting for the match for the past few years which gives the opportunity for teams to dust off any final cobwebs before heading away for the Paterson.

This year Ashburton will travel to Collingwood for the zone playoff.

■■CRICKET

Southee bears brunt of Black Caps’ criticism AP In his first competitive game of cricket since April, Tim Southee received a harsh welcome back at the hands of England’s batting line-up.

Southee, whose last competitive match was during the IPL season, was taken for 70 runs from nine overs in the Black Caps’ final round robin match against a rampant England side.

The Daily Telegraph’s Nick Hoult didn’t hold back on the Black Caps’ decision to play Southee in the place of the injured Lockie Ferguson, calling it “a cruel mismatch.”

“Inevitably bowling in the nets was no replacement for match action. He was belted to all parts by [Jonny] Bairstow who pumped him for six fours in 16 balls.

“Southee started with a two slips, but by the time of his fourth ball, New Zealand were on the defensive after Bairstow slapped him twice for four.

“Southee, the man who cut down England in Wellington’s Cake Tin four years ago, was a shadow of his former self with his pace down and his direction awry,” Hoult wrote.

Paul Newman of the Daily Mail also laid into the woeful Black Caps’ performance.

“A New Zealand team currently a shadow of Brendon McCullum’s aggressive 50-over pioneers were woeful from the moment Henry Nicholls was given lbw first ball by umpire [Sundaram] Ravi to a delivery from Chris Woakes that was going over the stumps.

“Once Jofra Archer had claimed Martin Guptill for his 17th World Cup wicket, more than any Englishman in any World Cup, and [Mark] Wood’s finger of fate did for [Kane] Williamson on his home ground, New Zealand’s chase fizzled out into an attempt

The beginning of the end – Henry Nicholls gets a rough lbw call and the Black Caps are on the slide against England. to protect their run-rate.”

Kane Williamson’s ability with the bat has been a massive key to any success the Black Caps have had during the World Cup. “In a column published by the Times before the match, Mike Atherton argued that Williamson was shouldering too much of the load and other players needed to step up if the team was to succeed.

With Williamson departing for 27; only Tom Latham could put a meaningful score on the board

with 57 runs from 65 deliveries.

“Without [Williamson] at the helm the New Zealand side was neutered,” the Guardian said.

Meanwhile the Black Caps have denied that they purposefully took their foot off the gas to protect their net run rate instead of chasing a Cricket World Cup win over England.

Set 306 for victory, the Black Caps were bowled out for 186 in 45 overs.

It was a close enough margin

to practically secure a semi-final spot, but an apparent “go-slow” from the middle order led to speculation from commentators and fans as to whether the Black Caps had quit on the chase in order to protect their net run rate, and make it near impossible for Pakistan to surpass them for the fourth semi-final spot.

At one stage, Santner was on three off 22 balls, and by the time Latham departed after a wellmade 57, the required run rate

had reached 12 an over, with the pair adding just 36 in 62 balls from a pivotal period from overs 29-39.

However, Black Caps captain Kane Williamson asserted that net run rate never came into the team’s thought process during the chase.

“No, no, we were trying to obviously win the game, but we didn’t do a very good job of it and it was a tough one, really,” said Williamson.

■■BASKETBALL

Bounce-back victory for College The Ashburton College A basketball side have bounced back from a difficult loss last week to record a strong victory against Burnside High School 92-69 on Tuesday night.

Playing in the Oxford Street Stadium, AshColl started off with a man-to-man defence and whilst it was initially effective Burnside were able to counter well.

They were also able to get in too many second shots as College were guilty of not boxing out efficiently.

Offensively College were able to find the hoop as Burnside did not cover the outside shots, and the hosts were able to take a 2219 lead.

In the second quarter, College went back to a 2-3 zone which allowed them to initiate their fast break.

The home-side defence began working well as a unit, pressuring the ball and making the Burnside players force either the shot or the pass.

When Burnside changed up their defence, firstly to a zone press, it initially worked, however College were able to break it with ease.

When they matched up, College were able to utilise the pick and roll aspect of their offence and scored some easy points.

Burnside kept working hard but College continued to extend their lead to 48-39 at the break.

The third quarter of the game saw College again being able to drive to the basket through the pick and roll and getting to the foul line.

Their zone defence effectively shut down the Burnside offence as they struggled to get any momentum.

There were plenty of turnovers for the College boys to convert into easy layups as they stretched their lead to 72-55.

The fourth quarter was more

of the same as College’s momentum continued as once again they were able to outscore the Burnside team running out 92-69 winners.

Coach Brian Kerr was able to play his entire bench throughout

the game, which proved a profitable move.

William Joyce got some good minutes in and highlighted his undoubted ability by dropping four 3-pointers in his 16 point display.

Quinn Ritchie top scoring with 31 points (six 3-pointers) leading the way with another good all round performance.

Fotu Hala with 12 points was strong on the defensive boards and was able to initiate a lot of the

fast breaks that were damaging to Burnside.

Riley Sa also added 10 points in a tidy display.

Kerr said it was a good result after the disappointment of last week’s loss.

Breakers to play Grizzlies, Oklahoma City Thunder

By Christopher Reive After an historic clash against the Phoenix Suns last year, the New Zealand Breakers will head back to the United States to take on some of the NBA’s top talent.

The Australian National Basketball League has confirmed the Breakers will again take part in the pre-season event, with a clash against the Memphis Grizzlies on October 9 (NZ time) in Tennessee, before a meeting with Steven Adams and the Oklahoma City Thunder on October 11 in Oklahoma.

Last year, the Breakers showed they were up to the task of tackling teams in the NBA and came away with a slim loss against the Suns.

“That this series is now heading into a third consecutive year is a reflection of the strength of partnership between the NBL and the NBA and the incredible growth and success of basketball

in Australia and New Zealand,” ANBL chief executive Jeremy Loeliger said.

“The NBL is now one of the premier basketball leagues in the world outside the NBA and we can’t wait for October.”

NBA Asia vice president of global partnerships Francesco Suarez added: “There’s never been a better time to be a basketball fan in Australia and New Zealand.

“Excitement around the game is an all-time high, and for the third consecutive year, fans can look forward to a competitive series of games featuring some of the best players in the NBL and NBA.” While the regular season schedule for the ANBL is yet to be announced, the season is expected to start on the first weekend of October, meaning the Breakers would not feature in the first week of the competition as they will be Stateside.

The matches will be the first chance for Breakers fans to see top American recruit RJ Hampton in action, with the young guard a projected lottery pick in the 2020 NBA draft.

The confirmation of games by the league comes more than a month after Hampton’s agent George Langberg told the Full 48 podcast they would be going ahead.

The Breakers were not included in the inaugural series of games between the two leagues in 2017, when the Thunder narrowly avoided defeat at the hands of Melbourne United, while the Thunder were not involved in 2018.

The NBA has a growing presence of New Zealand and Australian talent.

In the 2018-19 season, 15 players from the two countries took to the court at the NBA level, while a number of others work around the league in coaching, front office and player welfare roles.

Steven Adams’ OKC awaits the Breakers in October.

■■RUGBY

Reece ‘deserves his chance’

By Patrick McKendry The All Blacks are satisfied Sevu Reece has the character required to represent New Zealand and in fact thrive in the high-pressure test rugby environment following his standout performances with the Crusaders in his first year in Super Rugby.

In October, Reece, now 22, was given a discharge without conviction in the Hamilton District Court of one count of male assaults female, which he admitted to, and he has since blossomed during his time in Christchurch, scoring 15 tries on the field and satisfying all off it that he is not only comfortable in Super Rugby but that he has potential to be the same at the next level.

Head coach Steve Hansen said yesterday that Reece, one of the four new caps selected in the 39-player Rugby Championship squad, wouldn’t have been picked if he didn’t have what it took to be an All Black – on every level.

“We don’t condone domestic violence – of course, we don’t,” Hansen said.

“But it’s the Crusaders’ job to make Sevu a better player and person and they’ve done that, and we’d like the opportunity to do that too.”

Hansen is of the view that Fijian-born Reece had as much right as anyone to gainful employment and the chance to better himself.

There is also a feeling within the All Black coaching group that Reece wouldn’t be playing as well as he has if he hadn’t learned some important lessons and embarked on a fresh start.

Such is Reece’s pace and ability to create opportunities for himself and others, the powerful little right wing could be a point

Sevu Reece was a superstar for the Crusaders this season. of difference for the All Blacks in Japan later in the year.

Asked yesterday in Auckland as the All Blacks continued their pre-championship camp without the Crusaders players, how much of a bearing Reece’s offfield issues had in his selection, Hansen replied: “They didn’t form any, really. That’s all been dealt with – both in the court and by the rugby union.

“We’ve had conversations with the Crusaders people who have been managing him and everyone’s giving him a massive tick and he’s giving himself one on the track as well as off it at the moment.

“While you have to take it into consideration, it’s been dealt with so we’ve moved on.

“He’s playing really good football – I don’t think there’s one

New Zealander who wouldn’t put him in the team.”

Asked whether he had followed up Reece’s off-field progress with the Crusaders, Hansen said: “We didn’t do any more than we would have for anyone else in that situation.

“You’ve got to do your due diligence and we’ve done that so we’re very happy.”

Neither Reece nor any of his Crusaders team-mates will play in the first Rugby Championship test against Argentina in Buenos Aires on July 21, but he is a possibility to play against South Africa a week later in Wellington.

The All Blacks will leave for Buenos Aires next Friday, minus their coaches, who will remain in New Zealand for a couple of days to monitor the Crusaders and get them up to speed with the game plan for the Championship.

It’s clear that Hansen will name a vastly different team for the first test against the Pumas and that he doesn’t expect everything to come together from the start.

The World Cup is obviously the main priority, but the first big one is the retention of the Bledisloe Cup – the two tests against the Wallabies are in Perth on August 10 and in Auckland a week later.

The long and arduous Super Rugby season has appeared to have taken its toll on the Hurricanes, in particular, following last weekend’s semi-final defeat to the Crusaders.

Neither Beauden Barrett nor Ardie Savea have made it to Auckland due to illness, with Jordie Barrett and Asafo Aumua also affected.

“There’s no point in risking it – they’re better tucked up in their beds away from everyone so we don’t all get it,” Hansen said.

Ennor gets final start New All Black Braydon Ennor will start in the midfield as Ryan Crotty’s replacement in Saturday night’s Super Rugby final against the Jaguares.

Mitchell Dunshea replaces Scott Barrett in the Crusaders’ pack, getting in ahead of the more experienced Luke Romano.

Coach Scott Robertson explained that Dunshea would suit the style that the Jaguares were expected to bring to the big game tomorrow night, leaving Romano to fill his now-regular spot on the bench.

Barrett (finger) and Crotty (thumb) suffered breaks during the Crusaders’ semi-final win against the Hurricanes last weekend, and they are expected to be sidelined for up to six and eight weeks respectively.

Ennor’s start at centre means Jack Goodhue moves into second five, despite starting most of the season at centre.

Tim Bateman’s name was prominent in the selectors’ thinking, but they went for the combination that turned out for the Sharks game in May. David Havili, unlucky not to have been named in the All Blacks this week, has been named at fullback and will cover the midfield, while Will Jordan will come off the bench.

Crusaders: David Havili, Sevu Reece, Braydon Ennor, Jack Goodhue, George Bridge, Richie Mo’unga, Bryn Hall, Kieran Read, Matt Todd, Whetukamokamo Douglas, Sam Whitelock (captain), Mitchell Dunshea, Owen Franks, Codie Taylor, Joe Moody.

Reserves: Andrew Makalio, George Bower, Michael Alaalatoa, Luke Romano, Jordan Taufua, Mitchell Drummond, Mitchell Hunt, Will Jordan.

■■OPINION

Is this the forgotten Super Rugby final?

By Patrick McKendry

H

ey everyone, there’s a Super Rugby final on Saturday!

Not that I’d blame you if you didn’t know or care – why would you?

To recap, the Crusaders are playing the Jaguares at the Christchurch-based franchise’s pokey little stadium on Saturday night.

The kick-off is 7.35pm.

The Jaguares are from Argentina and it’s their first time in a grand final.

Before this season they’d never been in a playoff game before.

Yeah, it’s the Crusaders again.

Is that why you’re not that interested in this one?

They’ve won two in a row and are hot favourites for another.

They’ve already won nine.

Or is it the fact the All Blacks squad announcement has sucked

all the attention away from the build-up in Christchurch, one of the most low-key in the competition’s history, leaving it as flat as a half-pumped ball left in the long grass for a week?

Think the Hurricanes should be in the final instead?

Or that last weekend’s Crusaders v Hurricanes semi-final, one of the best ever, should have been the competition showpiece?

Saving it all up for the World Cup? Or is the general malaise instead due to the feeling that those running Super Rugby secretly wish this final could be anywhere but at the Crusaders’ home ground which has been scientifically proven to be the coldest and most inhospitable place in the Southern Hemisphere and featuring, for that matter, anyone but the Crusaders?

One would imagine the hype to be significantly greater if the

Waratahs, Reds or Brumbies were hosting this final.

Say what you like about Australian rugby, but they know how to put a big game on and the Reds, in particular, have a home stadium which consolidates and grows an atmosphere rather than placing it in cold storage.

That’s not the Crusaders’ fault, though, and their head coach Scott Robertson has made it plain that he believes his side and the larger franchise area deserves a stadium at least fit for purpose.

It’s not hard to agree.

And, I’m just taking a guess here, but if the final were in Sydney then the Sydney-based Sanzaar might be more inclined to make a big deal about it because it is a big deal.

The Crusaders are the best team in the competition by far, but that has often been the case and they haven’t got across the line.

They have got to this point

despite the horrific massacres in Christchurch in March – the first at the Al Noor Mosque a couple of kilometres from their Rugby Park headquarters and the second at the Linwood Islamic Centre across the other side of town.

Immediately after the attacks their game against the Highlanders in Dunedin was called off and their entire identity was put into the spotlight, and that’s something that’s still up in the air, although I’d suggest that following the return of the horses (without the swords and knights imagery) over the last fortnight, and indication that the emblem won’t change next year, that it may not alter too much.

Either way, the players and coaching staff felt that scrutiny and it affected them more deeply than they will publicly let on.

The Crusaders have always stood for their community – more than that, they’ve prided

themselves on being inspirations during some very tough times in the south – and to be considered by some to be part of the problem would not have been easy to accept, and that goes for the investigation into the alleged misconduct in Cape Town, too.

So, good luck to them.

And good luck to the Jaguares, a side who deserve their success this season.

They’re a team who will test the Crusaders’ pack thoroughly and one whose supporters will add a touch of colour and atmosphere to an event which deserves it.

There were tears shed on the Buenos Aires pitch when they beat the Brumbies last weekend and lord knows the Christchurch stadium could do with some emotion on Saturday night.

For those reasons alone it’s worth attending or tuning in for.

Remember, it kicks off at 7.35pm.

TRADES, SERVICES

Paddon in WRC New Zealand rally star Hayden Paddon returns to the top level of world rallying with the announcement that he will drive the third M-Sport Fiesta WRC car at Rally Finland in August.

With John Kennard returning as his co-driver, Paddon is understandably delighted to have this opportunity to contest one of his favourite FIA World Rally Championship events, particularly as the deal comes with the full support of his longterm commercial partner, Hyundai New Zealand.

“Obviously I’m very excited to be back in the WRC,” says Paddon.

“It has been really hard sitting at home watching the WRC unfold this year, especially as I know we can deliver at a high level.

“After the Hyundai Motorsport news last week, we decided to make things happen as we are not going to achieve anything by sitting around.”

Paddon got talking with key stakeholders and put together the deal for the drive in Finland, an event he has contested every year since 2010.

“Firstly, huge thanks to the team at Hyundai New Zealand who continue to support me fully. For them to have allowed us to chase this opportunity – it speaks volumes of how much they support my career and aspirations. It is truly humbling.

“And thank you to everyone who has contributed financially to make this drive with M-Sport possible.

“Many of our existing shareholders in Hayden Paddon Rallysport Global (HPRG) have come back onboard to make this happen and in a very short space of time.

It’s amazing!”

Hyundai New Zealand’s General Manager Andy Sinclair believes Paddon is a world-class driver who deserves to be on the WRC circuit.

“Despite the disappointment that Hayden has faced since the end of last year, he has remained positive and committed to his WRC dream. We have and always will stand behind him in his pursuit to drive in the WRC,” says Sinclair.

“Our relationship with Hayden is a strong one, and we have a lot of projects on the go with Hayden and the Paddon Rallysport team here in New Zealand.

“As soon as the opportunity arose to drive for M-Sport at Rally Finland, Hayden sought our opinion.

“Naturally we were thrilled for him that he was offered a WRC drive, and it went without saying that we’d support him.”

Sinclair adds: “Hayden is a Hyundai NZ driver and ambassador, and most impor-

Hayden Paddon tantly, he is representing New Zealand, which means more to us than what model of car he is driving.

“As a 100 per cent Kiwi-owned company, our decision to support a New Zealand sportsperson of Hayden’s calibre is easy.

Hayden is, and will continue to be, a fine ambassador for the Hyundai brand in New Zealand.

“He’s a New Zealander competing on a global scale with international fame, yet has remained humble, grounded and rooted to his home country.

“Along with our nationwide dealer network, customers and motorsport fans around New Zealand and the world, we have watched Hayden develop and grow an incredible amount, and are immensely proud of him.”

Paddon will complete a one-day test with the team in the Fiesta WRC before the 1-4 August running of Rally Finland.

“We will be giving the rally 110 per cent.

“Obviously being out of WRC competition for eight months puts us a little on the back foot, but both John and I are confident we can hop in, prepare well and be near the front.

“A top five would be the minimum expectation from myself but as always, I will be pushing for more.

“The ultimate goal is to be back in the WRC more regularly in 2020. I’m in a good phase at the moment; I feel like from a personal perspective and in terms of driving ability, things are at a good level and I want to utilise those skills again at the highest levels of world competition. I still have a lot I know I can achieve in the WRC – we just need that opportunity.”

Friday, July 5, 2019

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): These doubts are normal, but stop it anyway. Your hopes and wishes are not unreasonable fantasies that won’t happen.

They are well within grasp. If you don’t feel this, you haven’t found the right mentor.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): People may talk about what they like, how they treat people and how they want to be treated, but words can be unreliable predictors, especially these days.

Count what you witness over what you hear.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Like sailors singing a chantey song in the face of rough seas, people will feel stronger as they unite in the language of sound, especially chanting, rhythm and, of course, music.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): No one is just like you. It is easy to mistakenly believe that people who are a little like you will follow the same lines of thoughts across the board, but they will not – that is, not without your leadership.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): From the outside, it may seem that everyone on the inside is getting along and feeling the team spirit. Of course, this is not how groups typically work. The best ones are held together with tension.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): It’s not that you have some burning piece of information to share. It’s just that sharing, sharing anything, is so important right now. Satisfy your craving to connect.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): People can be like wallpaper in a catalogue, the same patterns repeating page after page. Maybe the colours and the scale shift, but at some point, you know what you can expect when you turn the page.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): There’s a movie going on in your mind. You have to turn off the drama on this small screen before you can see what’s actually happening in world beyond.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Most days are not as black-and-white as this one, but right now, there are clear-cut delineations and goals that are either met or not met. Almost doesn’t count.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Nothing brings out your best like pressure. It would be more comfortable and enjoyable if you could work as fast and as brilliantly out of inspiration, but this isn’t how things work. Pressure is the way.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Complaining is boring to those who aren’t sharing the experience. It might even be boring to those who are. You’ll avoid hearing or stating complaints as you dive into more interesting pursuits.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The amount of personal energy you have to throw at a problem will depend on last night’s sleep, your diet and your emotional well-being. Address these areas to set yourself up for future success.

Narrow loss for Opuke-Hakatere Alia Forrester looks to evade defenders during her side’s Division Two hockey match on the weekend. Forrester’s Opuke-Hakatere side lost a close encounter against Cambridge on the Ashburton turf, 3-4. It was however an impressive turnaround from a previous fixture between the two sides earlier in the season which resulted in a 5-0 win for the Cambridge side. The side aren’t in action this weekend and don’t return to the turf until Sunday, July 21 when they take on Temuka in Timaru.

Speedster ‘fine for semi’ New Zealand expect star quick Lockie Ferguson to be fit for next Tuesday’s likely semi-final date with Australia after being sidelined by a hamstring injury.

Australia will almost certainly face the Black Caps in next Tuesday’s first World Cup semi-final if they beat South Africa in Manchester on Saturday.

Ferguson has been a revelation for New Zealand at this year’s World Cup, the right-armer bowling at speeds of up to 150km/h.

He has taken the second most wickets in the tournament with 17, second only to Australian Mitchell Starc’s 24.

In last Friday’s loss to Australia Ferguson bounced out David Warner with the first ball he bowled and also got the key wicket of Steve Smith.

However, he suffered hamstring tightness in training in the lead up to Wednesday’s heavy 119-run loss to England and did not play.

“He should be fine,” New Zealand captain Kane Williamson said.

“It’s a fairly minor injury, sort of a light hamstring thing, so he should be okay, we have a number of days between now and that game potentially.”

“He’s been outstanding throughout

this whole tournament and a real point of difference for us ... coming in and bowling at 150 naturally is a great weapon to have.”

The Black Caps will only miss the finals if Pakistan were to defeat Bangladesh by a drastic amount in their match tonight While there is no clear margin due to the complexities of net run-rate, Pakistan could only leapfrog New Zealand if they were to bat first and win by a margin of more than 300.

New Zealand are otherwise destined to finish fourth.
