Conned by car dealer BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

An Ashburton man has described the moment he fell into the trap of a Christchurch car dealer with a string of convictions for fraud and assault. Stephen Watson claims the man, who appeared in Christchurch District Court yesterday and was given name suppression, offered to sell a car on his behalf, but incurred thousands of dol-

lars’ worth of damage to it. Watson had listed his Golf GTI on TradeMe when he received a lengthy text message from the man last month, offering to sell it through his company in Christchurch. Watson agreed after checking online that it was a legitimate registered business. Watson wrote down the odometer reading and signed a contract, agreeing that the car dealer had 28 days to sell the car. Wat-

son was told that the car would be groomed and that there was already a buyer lined up. “But I became a bit suspicious,” he said. “It started when I drove past the car yard one day and noticed the car wasn’t there.” Upon asking why, Watson was told that his car was at the man’s “other car yard” and directed to an address where no car yard existed.

He approached another car yard down the road and spoke to staff. His car was not there either. Increasingly suspicious, Watson rang the man, who then told him his car was at a groomers. Watson asked for his car back and the man agreed to leave it at a petrol station and give the keys to the staff behind the counter. “There was a lot of damage to the car, that he denied doing, and there was 700 kilometres added

to the odometer,” he said. Watson has contacted police, Fair Go, the Motor Vehicle Traders Association and his insurance company about the ordeal. Watson is one of several people to have spoken out against the car dealer’s behaviour.

Damage spree just the ‘tip of the iceberg?’ BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A letter-box smashing spree around Allenton could be the “tip of the iceberg,” of other behavioral offences and issues, police say. At least six houses were targeted by vandals on Sunday night on Allison Street, Lane Street, Cross Street and Miller Avenue, leaving frustrated residents with messy front-yard situations to mend. Senior Sergeant Phil Dean said he was not aware of the full extent of the letter-box smashing, as many residents may consider the damage too minor to report to police. But he warned that it could point to much worse offences which police would certainly be

interested in. “It’s the same sort of behaviour as tipping over wheelie bins,” he said. “It is an offence, but it could also point to much worse. For example, they may have used a car to damage the letterboxes, or it could be due to intoxication.” He encouraged residents to report any future incidents of the same nature, as police would be very interested in knowing whether a trend is present. If it is, then police may look to CCTV footage and other evidence, Dean said. Ashburton Police Station can be reached on (03) 307 8400. Alternatively, information can be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Conned by car dealer From P1 He also received a warning from the Commerce Commission in March, after people who had bought cars from him complained about “misleading” warranties. The man’s own company entered liquidation earlier this year and he has been removed from the company that Watson dealt with, which now operates under another name. He also started using a different first name this year. Watson said it would have been difficult to know that the car dealer would spell so much trouble for him. “I did my due diligence in checking that it was a registered

company. I couldn’t find him on the internet, but he said right throughout his messages that he was just setting up … and that seemed like a legitimate reason.” However, Watson said he has since discovered that if he had googled the cellphone number, he would have seen the man’s real first name and many of the previous complaints against him. The Guardian contacted the man for comment but did not receive a response. He was arrested on Wednesday morning and appeared in the Christchurch District Court that afternoon where he was granted name suppression. Watson’s car is being repaired.

Methven locals react favourably to opening of new business BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Karen Smith’s stylish new space isn’t just a gallery, or a giftware store, it’s a step towards Methven getting its vibe back, she says. Weeks of preparation and revamping culminated in the grand opening of the Smith Gallery yesterday, and a thrilled Smith was run off her feet with a steady stream of visitors. “It’s like people have been waiting for it to open,” she said. The award-winning artist has shared the McMillan Street premises with Mt Hutt Helicop-

ters, but took over the lease in August. Now, her own artworks are complemented with a wide assortment of homeware, giftware and jewellery, handpicked from around New Zealand. Coveted men’s products from the Valor brand have proven popular, she said, along with cute Jellycat baby gifts. The store is also selling soaps from the West Coast company The Crafty Chook, skincare products from Blenheim brand 3bee and prints from young Auckland artist Olivia Bezett.

In the corner, Smith has set up an easel so she can sit and paint while attending the store. She said she has received a lot of support from the community in the lead up to the opening. “It’s been very positive. I think people have really been looking forward to having another gift shop.” Yesterday, several neighbouring stores including a florist and café extended their open hours, in support of Smith’s new store. The Smith Gallery is open from 10am to 5pm on weekdays and 10am to 4pm on weekends.

■ FRANCHISEE OF THE YEAR

Beating Robert Harris’ best at their game By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton might be a small player in the pool of Robert Harris cafés, but it punches well above its weight when it comes to beating its peers in the hospitality business. However, no one was more surprised than owners Steph Ching and Dale Gray when they found themselves on the winner’s podium at the group’s annual conference, clutching a trophy inscribed with Franchisee of the Year. They knew they’d been nominated for the award, but had given very little thought to whether or not they’d win, Ching said. With a premises renovation not long completed and customer numbers growing, they were too busy to think about much else other than making food and coffee and serving customers. With 44 plus franchises around New Zealand, many with much larger customer bases, making it onto the list of nominees for a second time was a real achievement, she said. In the four and a half years they’ve owned the business they’ve won rookie of the year, been nominated for franchise of the year, but had never given too much thought to winning the top award. “You don’t think about winning awards, you just get on with running your business. “This award is for our staff as

They are absolutely terrific.” Each franchise is regularly audited by the parent organisation and to make it onto the list of nominees, a business must be performing at the top level in terms of sales growth, customer service, first class food and coffee,

having a high performing team and having top level business management. When it came to food and coffee they knew they were up there with the best. Their baristas are well trained and regularly pass internal audits with top marks, and the food they serve is always

fresh and what’s served is driven by customer demand, Ching said. Assessment against the other standards was in the hands of their support manager and the judges. Receiving an award that recognised across the board excellence was a great reward for the hard

work put in by the entire team who were committed to providing an excellent customer experience, she said. “We’re lucky, we have lots of loyal and local customers and we know they’re coming for the food, the coffee and for consistently good customer service.”

Fuel price increase sparks theft rise By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

As fuel prices soar, police are urging farmers to keep a close eye on their supplies. Following a recent incident in which a local farmer’s petrol stash was pilfered, Senior Sergeant Phil Dean said it is crucial to ensure

that fuel is stored securely. Unleaded petrol has hit the $2.40/litre mark in Ashburton while diesel prices are hovering around $1.75/litre – marking a 50 per cent increase from prices two years ago. The high prices, coupled with a time of year where there is “more

people out and about at night,” means farmers should be thinking about how they secure their fuel – be it in tanks, barrels or machinery, Dean said. “It needs to be locked up with a lock.” Police have also been investigating fuel thefts from farms in other parts of the country.

On a farm near Oamaru, a 1000-litre and 400-litre petrol tank were emptied last month. Responding to the incident, a Federated Farmers spokesperson advised farmers to think about where they install fuel tanks. “You’ve got to put them in highuse parts of your farm where peo-

ple could notice any suspicious activities, including visits from unknown people and vehicles. He also suggested checking fuel levels regularly, as some fuel thefts can go unnoticed. Police encouraged farmers to report any suspicious activity or thefts.

Celebrating our early Polish settlers By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Methven woman Angela Grieve has a special reason to visit an exhibition that celebrates the first Polish settlers to call Canterbury their home, they’re part of her family. The first of them, her great, great, great uncle arrived in New Zealand in 1872, carrying in his pockets onion seeds that were to become the start of Christchurch’s Marshlands market gardens. He was followed by her greatgreat grandfather and the foundations of the Schimanski (Szymanski) family’s life as New Zealanders were laid. Grieve’s mother became the keeper of family history and when she died, she left her family a trunk filled with family history. And while she had made sure during her life that her children understood their Polish heritage, the contents of that trunk filled many gaps, Grieve said. She became aware of the First Polish Settlers in Canterbury & NZ Commemorative Exhibition after taking a handbag that had come from Poland to the Canterbury Museum and talking to associate curator accessions Joanna Szczepanski. “She said they wanted to get more exposure for the exhibition and were investigating another location, would Methven be interested,” she said. Grieve didn’t hesitate to say yes and that exhibition is now

At the opening of the Between the Waters Polish Legacy in New Zealand exhibition in Methven are (from left): Canterbury Museum associate curator accessions Joanna Szczepanski, chair of the Polish Legacy Trust, Dorota Szymanska Prokop, Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel and Polish settlers descendent Angela Grieve. PHOTO SUPPLIED open in the Mt Hutt Memorial Hall’s hall of memories. Beautifully presented records of first Polish settlers to Canterbury region, supported by a number of photos, offer a story mix of hardships, challenges and achievements while embracing community spirit and heart-felt determination of eastern origin. The exhibition is an initiative undertaken by the Polish Legacy in NZ Trust following the

2017 Celebrations of 145 years of Polish Settlement, presented at Canterbury Museum in Christchurch. It includes memorabilia from Grieve’s grandmother’s trunk. Grieve is the youngest of seven children born to Eva and Charlie Clemens. Her father was a World War One returning soldier. Her mother was a great-granddaughter of Christopher Schimanski. His descendants: Angela, Bernie,

Neil, Yvonne, Gwenda (all from Methven) were present at the opening, proudly acknowledging their Polish heritage. The exhibition, which will run until November 16, presents a remarkable, Polish chapter in NZ history, framed in the chronicles of four families that disembarked from Friedeburg in Lyttelton Harbour in August 1872 - the Kotlowskis, Gierszewskis, Szymanskis and Watembachs.

‘Poor choice of words’ National leader Simon Bridges says he regrets using the word “embarrassing” to describe MP Jami-Lee Ross’ health issues. “I regret it, I think it was a poor choice of words,” Bridges told reporters yesterday. “As I clarified, and I’ve said now a number of times, I was simply saying that anyone, whether an MP or not, would prefer personal health matters are dealt with in that way rather than public.” He reassured the people of Ross’ electorate of Botany that they still had an MP. “Jami-Lee Ross will be doing some constituent work there and keeping in regular contact with his staff.” - NZME

By Sue NewmaN

In brief

current value for houses sold sitting at $353,694. The numbers have not changed over the past three months and have moved upwards just 2.5 per cent over the past year. Price movement across most of the South Island has shown little change over the past three months in many districts, but

some of the cheapest housing spots – Clutha, Gore, Invercargill and Westland have shown increases of more than 4 per cent. Over the past 12 months, prices have risen 13.4 per cent in Invrecargill and between 10 and 11 per cent in several areas of Dunedin. Queenstown-Lakes might

have an average sales price of $1.169 million, but sales prices are still rising, up 8.4 per cent over the past year. It joins nine areas in Auckland where average sales prices are well over $1 million. At $189,956 Buller remains the cheapest place in the South Island to buy a home.

Furious councillors of an embattled Fish & Game regional council questioned over its handling of a $500,000 bequest have called for an independent chair to be rushed in. An investigation into North Canterbury Fish & Game Council was launched earlier this year after five of its own councillors raised financial and transparency concerns and questioned how a generous bequest was being spent. Chairman Trevor Isitt issued a statement yesterday through a Christchurch PR firm to refute what he called “disturbing rumours”. Isitt claimed that funds used for the “completion of the building using general reserves” were approved by the North Canterbury council at its formally constituted meeting on February 15, 2017. - NZME

Hugs, not punches The best way to combat interpersonal conflict isn’t by putting on a set of boxing gloves and stepping into a ring, instead, the answer could lie with hugging. An American study has found people who hugged on a day of conflict experienced more positive emotions than negative ones. Clinical psychologist Dr Mark Thorpe told the Herald humans are biologically geared to react positively to bonding. “There’s a natural tendency towards bonding and connecting. “Even if it’s a little artificial and forced, it may be a bit weird emotionally or psychology but the physiological stuff overtakes it.” - NZME

Recording memories from the past By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Once someone is gone, they are gone forever, but the stories of their life live on. Recording these stories is paramount however, otherwise they too are lost to time. Mid Canterbury Hospice volunteers are in a position to see this more than ever, but are happy they can help retain those memories through their free biography service. Among 11 volunteer biographers at the service is Bryan Donaldson. He said he was motivated to join after realising the stories from his parents’ lives were lost once they passed away. “I would have liked to have had that, it would have been nice,” Donaldson said. “My brothers and I remember dad’s stories, but they remember them differently,” he said. “It’s not just for the children, it’s for grandchildren and people long into the future.” The 63-year-old motorcycle dealer has completed three biographies for hospice clients, and is now on his fourth. He said it had been a big learning curve taking in all the information from his interviewees’ lives, and converting it into booklets. He has a system which works for him – recording conversations, listening to them and then speaking into a programme which converts audio to text. Among his satisfied customers is John Stalker. Hospice offers services to those with life-limiting illnesses, and 90-year-old Stalker has respiratory issues and failing eyesight. His stories have taken his family, and biographer Donaldson, back to a time which is hard to imagine today. Stalker grew up at Winslow, and landed his first job on a Wakanui farm at the age of 15. His tasks included walking up and down paddocks as he drove a team of horses for working the soil. He then had another farm job on Longbeach Estate, and

lived on-site in an old sod house where the walls were lined with newspaper glued with flour and water. “In winter, the mice used to

come in through the thatched roof and chew at the paper to get at the flour,” Stalker said. It was the beginning of a productive work life, and Stalker is

well remembered in Ashburton for setting up a Leisure Centre for young people in the 1980s. He also worked with IHC clients in its on-site gardens to grow produce and learn new skills. He and Doreen have lived at Netherby for the majority of their married life. They raised two sons, and today have seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Hospice Mid Canterbury volunteer services manager Christine Wilson said she was hoping to attract more biographers, taking the number up to 15.

She particularly wanted males, as she had only two at this stage. The service also had professional photographer Tegan Clark working voluntarily for the service, and she had taken photographs of the Stalkers for their booklet. Wilson said some hospice clients felt they did not need a biography, but once they started talking away they found there was often at least a couple of stories worthy of recording. “Everybody has something to share, and they can surprise themselves,” she said.

Bid to make synthetics Class A drugs Health Minister David Clark will speak to his Cabinet colleagues in the next few weeks about reclassifying two compounds commonly found in synthetics – AMB Fubinaca and 5FABD. “Those two are cropping up all over the place. While those are the two big ones it’s easy to reclassify them. The harm around them is well-documented and reclassifying those drugs as Class A will give police the same search and seizure powers as they have for other hard drugs that cause serious harm,” Clark said. Clark acknowledged that it was not going to be possible, with new drugs coming into the country all the time, to ban all new substances. “That’s the reality. But we are moving, where it’s sensible and obvious that drugs are causing harm, to interrupt supply as part of as health response.” Clark said he would be seeking Cabinet support in coming weeks. It would not require a law change so the change could be swift once a decision was made. On Wednesday it emerged that there have been two deaths in Christchurch in the past fortnight through suspected use of synthetics, and 19 people hospitalised by what emergency doctors

A police seizure of compounds used to make synthetic drugs. called a “particularly bad batch” of synthetics. Around 45 deaths in the year to June have been attributed to synthetics use. Clark said he would not be revisiting his decision earlier this year not to hold a separate review into synthetics, saying it would be covered by the broader In-

quiry into Mental Health and Addiction. There was also work underway between Health, Police, Customs and Corrections. “We’re having a good look at that area just because of the public concern that’s been raised by reports that over the last year and a half there have been a number

of deaths. “There are no silver bullets but there are things that we are looking to do with synthetics because it’s becoming clear just how dangerous they are,” Clark said. The Green Party warned the Government not to pursue a costly war on synthetic drugs that was destined to fail.

“David Clark’s call to reclassify two of the synthetic compounds as Class A drugs puts our country on the wrong path. This a critical moment for drug policy direction. “We can choose to carry on with a failed war on drugs, or take a more sensible route and look at the causes and health impacts of addiction and treat those instead,” said Chloe Swarbrick, Greens’ spokeswoman on drug law reform. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern downplayed the parties’ differences of opinion on the issue. “I think we’re all ultimately on the same page,” she told reporters yesterday. “We want to reduce the harm that’s being done by synthetic cannabis. We are taking a healthbased approach. We do want to make sure there are the community services available,” she said. National leader Simon Bridges said while it was good the Government was moving to reclassify some compounds in synthetics, it should go further. “The drug manufacturers will simply change the recipes. We would say to the Government go further, take more advice and be wider on this Class A issue,” Bridges said. - NZME

■ UNITED STATES

Trump attack ‘vile’ US President Donald Trump has been slammed after he directly mocked Dr Christine Blasey Ford for the first time since she alleged Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her. Speaking to a crowd in Southaven, Mississippi yesterday, the US President imitated Dr Ford during her testimony, focusing on how she couldn’t remember how she got to the party where she claimed the Supreme Court nominee attacked her. “I had one beer. Well, do you think it was – nope, it was one beer,” Trump said, mimicking Dr Ford’s testimony last week to the Senate Judiciary Committee. “How did you get home?” he said, taking on the role of prosecutor. “I don’t remember,” he said in Dr Ford’s voice, which was deeper. “How’d you get there? I don’t remember. “Where is the place? I don’t remember. “How many years ago was it? I don’t know. “What neighbourhood was it in? I don’t know. Where’s the house? I don’t know. Upstairs, downstairs – where was it? I don’t know – but I had one beer. “That’s the only thing I remember.” His comments were met with applause from the crowd – but not everyone found it so amusing. Dr Ford’s lawyer Michael Bromwich called Trump’s attack “vicious, vile and soulless”. “Is it any wonder that she was terrified to come forward and that other sexual assault survivors are as well?” Bromwich tweeted. “She is a remarkable profile in courage.

Eagles returning to NZ American rock band Eagles are bringing their critically-acclaimed world tour to New Zealand for two major shows in February and March. Since forming in Los Angeles in 1971, the band have sold more than 150 million albums, scored six #1 albums and as many Grammys, becoming one of the top-selling acts of all time. That stellar run is to be celebrated in their world tour, the setlist for which will include hits from all seven of the band’s studio albums — Eagles (1972), Desperado (1973), On The Border (1974), One Of These Nights (1975), Hotel California (1976), The Long Run (1979) and Long Road Out of Eden (2007).

Donald Trump a proﬁle in cowardice, says lawyer Michael Bromwich. “He is a profile in cowardice.” Arizona Republican Senator Jeff Flake said that mocking “something this sensitive at a political rally is just not right”. “I wish he hadn’t done it,” Flake said. “It’s kind of appalling.” Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski called the comments “wholly inappropriate and in my view unacceptable”. Actor Alyssa Milano, who last week opened up about her

own sexual assault that she experienced as a teenager, led the chorus on Twitter of people who were repulsed by Trump’s comments. Writing to Donald Trump Jr, Milano said: “Your father is an a**hole. “This is the most misogynist display of barbaric insensitivity that I’ve ever seen. “This is why I didn’t report (my abuse). This right here. “Women are watching. “And we vote.”

Yesterday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended Trump’s comments that were seen as mocking Dr Ford’s testimony. At a rare White House briefing, Ms Sanders said: “The President was stating the facts.” Ms Sanders also blasted Democrats, accusing them of launching a “full scale assault” on Kavanaugh’s integrity and called it “a co-ordinated smear campaign”. - PA

Pay talks with a difference She was paid $3 million less than her Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom co-star Chris Pratt, but Bryce Dallas Howard says there’s a bigger pay gap problem in Hollywood. “The one that we need to focus on the most is the pay discrepancy between individuals who are caucasian and people of colour,” she said, when she sat down for an interview at the Four Seasons in New York. “It’s an insane discrepancy and one that we really, really, really, really need to solve instantly, because it’s wrong.”

■ PORTUGAL

McCann disappearance ‘solvable’

Madeleine McCann

Missing Madeleine McCann is likely to be still in Portugal but unaware of who she is, says a former top detective who worked on the four-year-old’s disappearance for her family. David Edgar believes Madeleine is still alive and well, 11 years after she disappeared from her family’s holiday villa in Portugal. “She could literally be anywhere in the world but my hunch is that she is in Portugal,” Edgar told The Sun. “The chance that she may have been smuggled out of the country without being detected is highly unlikely. “There is someone in Portugal with an open knowledge of where she is and what happened.” Edgar was hired by Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry for three years before the Metropolitan Police in Britain finally

launched Operation Grange in 2011. Edgar believes Madeleine, who would now be 15, could be living with her captor in a hideaway home inland from the popular seaside towns on the Algarve – and he suspects she has no idea of the worldwide hunt for her. “There is every possibility that Madeleine is still alive and could be being hidden somewhere and having no idea that she is at the centre of a worldwide hunt for her,” he told The Sun. Edgar thinks that the blonde youngster was snatched by a child sex gang and urged accomplices to “come forward and tell the truth”, insisting: “It is never too late.” As Scotland Yard pleads for more cash from British taxpayers to fund their investigation, Edgar admitted: “It’s a baffling case, but I think it’s solvable.” - PA

Fan Bingbing resurfaces Chinese actor Fan Bingbing has addressed her fans for the first time in months, revealing why she went missing for so long. The international superstar, whose abrupt disappearance in early July sparked fevered speculation over her whereabouts and safety, has apologised to millions of fans on social media after being fined hundreds of millions for tax evasion and other offences. Fan was accused of signing secret movie contracts to avoid paying higher taxes. It was found that she had split her earnings into two contracts, only reporting the much lower salary figure. The actor said she felt “ashamed and guilty for what I did”.

Buying a second home – SHOULD YOU SELL FIRST OR BUY FIRST?

Kevin Lampen-Smith

REA

When it comes to upsizing or downsizing a property, homeowners are faced with a big decision – is it better to sell the existing home first, or buy the new place first? Real Estate Authority chief executive Kevin Lampen-Smith says there’s no right way to tackle it, but it’s important for homeowners to think carefully about their appetite for risk. Both options come with pros and cons, and their own unique set of challenges and pressures. “Buying first provides the luxury of time, meaning it’s possible to hunt for homes without a settlement date looming on the horizon. A buyer is able to consider as many houses as they like, move at their own pace and keep searching until they find the property that’s right for them and their family,” Lampen-Smith explains.

“

There are pros and cons to both approaches but homeowners can lighten the load by ensuring all their ducks are in a row

”

While time might be on your side, your finances might not be. To secure the new home, buyers will need to come up with the funds for a deposit, which might be tricky if equity is tied up in the existing property. Buying first means there are suddenly double the bills to pay, including home insurance, rates and utility bills, as well as absorbing the cost of bridge financing in order to pay two mortgages. “The extra financial strain can sometimes mean sellers pressure themselves into setting a modest listing price for their existing house or accepting a lower offer, just to seal the deal quickly,” Lampen-Smith

says. On the flip side, selling first can give homeowners a much clearer picture of their financial situation. Once the existing home is sold, you’ll know exactly how much cash you have to play with and what you can afford to buy. “However, once an offer has been accepted on the current home, the clock starts ticking towards settlement day. Some buyers then feel added pressure to make an offer on a home that doesn’t exactly fit their needs or wishlist, because they’re so focused on finding a new place to move into.” To avoid this, Lampen-Smith suggests negotiating a long settlement period on the existing home, to allow enough time to find

a new property. However, this isn’t always possible, so homeowners should consider what their plan B will be. In a tight rental market, it can be very challenging to find short-term accommodation, which is why many turn to friends or family. It’s also important to consider the added costs of moving household belongings twice and paying for a storage unit. There are pros and cons to both approaches but homeowners can lighten the load by ensuring all their ducks are in a row. “Speak to your bank or a mortgage advisor to get your finances in order

and then build your support crew. For example, you’re going to need legal advice, a licensed real estate agent to sell your property, an insurer and a building inspector,” Lampen-Smith suggests. However, as your home is likely to be your biggest asset, it’s important to prepare for some hiccups along the way and have time or extra funds set aside to deal with these. Building a strong support crew of qualified professionals will ensure you have the advice and guidance you need at each stage of the process.

Enhancing the tradition

oyota’s most technologically advanced Corolla yet, the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatch, has been redefined with a fresh and exciting makeover; heavily inspired by European design.

New Generation, New Flair

The arrival of the 12th generation Corolla hatchback signifies perhaps the most radical shift yet in the lengthy history of this iconic model. The completely new front grille design is a stand-out, with a wide arc that mimics the curved parameters of sportscarinfluenced air intakes giving it a sportier character. Head-turning details are plentiful, including bright LED headlights and Daytime Running Lights on all models.

The New Standard of Safety

The Corolla hatch range offers a truly impressive level of standard safety equipment on-board, with updates to the Toyota Safety Sense package providing even more reassurance.

Dynamic Hatch Powers Up

The traditional Corolla values of practicality and efficiency are enhanced with new-found dynamic capabilities. The new Corolla hatch range includes five fun-todrive variants, across petrol and hybrid powertrain technology.

Toyota, two grades of the Corolla hatch are available with the 1.8-litre petrol-electric hybrid system. The upgraded Hybrid Synergy Drive experience really comes into its own when in urban traffic and delivers the smoothest hybrid drive yet; due to the optimal balance between fuel economy, low emis-

World-leading Hybrid Electric Technology Taking globally-advanced hybrid technologies developed over decades by

sions and performance.

Dynamic Performance and Power

A new engine, transmissions, chassis, suspension, emotive body and interior all contribute to a more engaging drive. A newly designed two litre petrol engine, built on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform, has 21 per cent

more power and 15 per cent more torque yet is more economical than the previous generation Corolla hatch. The engine is also combined with an all-new DynamicShift CVT with 10 programmed shifts that includes the world’s first launch gear in a passenger vehicle CVT, resulting in powerful and predictable acceleration.

amaha Motor New Zealand has launched the Tracer 900 GT in Queenstown, with the new model improving the pedigree of the existing Tracer 900 and adding tweaks aimed at making it a far more appealing sports tourer. The biggest changes come in the form of alterations to the chassis – with a longer swingarm, revised rear subframe and new pillion grab handles – to improve the Tracer 900 GT for two-up touring duties. The new bike, which supersedes the base Tracer 900 model, retails for $19,999 and certainly feels like an improvement. The biggest and most immediately appreciated change comes in the form of a TFT dash unit – taken from the YZF-R1 Superbike – which offers a comprehensive and stylish display over the old LCD unit found on the Tracer 900. Although the dash is smaller than others on the market, it is clear and easy to read at a glance. The only niggle with the system is the location of the controller for navigating the plethora of functions. The other big improvement on the old Tracer 900 is in the suspension

department, with fully adjustable KYB forks replacing the non-adjustable units of the standard bike, and out back the rear shock is easily altered by the remote preload adjuster on the lefthand side of the bike. Add to this the factory panniers and the Tracer 900 GT is certainly a comprehensive sports tourer, of which Kiwis will see the appeal. Styling wise, the Tracer 900 GT mostly retains the silhouette of the Tracer 900, with the only visual hints from afar that something is different being the beefier rear section and the addition of a GT badge on the fairings. The DOHC inline triple-cylinder engine remains unchanged – with a peak output of 85.7kW at 10,000rpm – but the Tracer 900 GT sees additional electronics including a quickshifter for the 6-speed gearbox, heated hand grips, and updated ECU settings. With a key part of the design process to ensure the lightest possible weight, the 85.7kW produced by the triplecylinder engine is more than enough to get up to silly speeds. It wouldn’t be surprising to see owners venturing on to the track to really push the limits of the Tracer 900 GT. Yamaha has another sub-$20,000 stunner on its hands.

Names that catch the eye Bernard Egan MOTORING

n this column four weeks ago we recorded that Cadillac, the American producer of luxurious cars, had celebrated their 116th birthday. We discovered Cadillac does not derive its name from the designer or builder of the car, but bears the name of a French explorer who founded Detroit, where the cars were made. At the time it went through the mind there must be other be other marques with unusual names, one being Pontiac. What inspired that moniker? However as happens sometimes to some of us sometimes, that thought kept going through the mind and then kept on going. Then the name Pontiac appeared in one of the pictures which illustrated Mike Yardley’s recent account in this paper of his travels along the famous Route 66. That was enough to jog the memory. The Pontiac brand was introduced by General Motors in 1926 as the companion marque to their Oakland division, and shared a GM platform. Purchased by General Motors in 1909, Oakland continued to produce modestly priced automobiles until 1931, when it was renamed Pontiac. Pontiac was named after the famous Ottawa chief who had also given his name to the city of Pontiac, Michigan, where the car was produced. This in turn leads one to wonder about Oakland. It was named for Oakland County, Michigan, in which it was based. All of this came as a reminder other makers have unusual names and there are certainly quite a few of those. Take for example Scavas. Creek gentleman Vasilios Scavas decided he’d like to design a car, so he did. Well in fact he designed three, two of which were actually produced. They were radically-designed sports saloons, one of which he retained for his own use. Design number three remained just that and full production of the marque

Panoz was founded in 1989, and produces wonderful gems such as the Esperante. never happened – partly for bureaucratic reasons. There is not a lot to say about car maker Grofri; that’s because the Austrian Company only produced cars for 10 years from 1921. The American Biddle Motor Company didn’t last quite that long, but during their seven-year existence they built some luxurious cars, many powered with Duesenberg engines. Kewet has an interesting history. Founded in Denmark in 1971 the company which had produced washing machines decided to venture into producing small electric cars. A decision to move production off shore proved disastrous, but the company ultimately resurfaced in Norway. Kewet’s unusual brand name is matched by an interesting model name – their range included the BUDDY. One may not necessarily associate the name Panoz with an American outfit, but in fact it is. Founded in Georgia, USA in 1989, Panoz has produced some fabulous models mostly fitted with either Ford or GM power plants. It’s wasn’t really surprising to discover that manufacturer Belkommunmash hails from Belorussia.

They produce buses. Also from that part of the world comes Oka. Producers of small cars, many of Oka’s cars are similar in styling to Japanese Kei cars – one model is not unlike the little Renault 5, but apparently that’s where the similarity ends. Interesting Oka did produce Zaporazhets which were referred to as “people’s cars”. Where have we heard that name before? Geely and Zotye are both Chinese brands. The former owns Volvo, also a London cab manufacturing concern and has a stake in Lotus, proving you never know exactly who owns what. The latter – Zotye – started out in 2005 and since have produced some neat cars and are getting into electric vehicles. Doesn’t the name Monteverdi sound quite exotic and conjure up thoughts of style and glamour? Such thoughts are certainly not misplaced. Established by Swiss gentleman Peter Monteverdi to produce some boutique vehicles, his company did just that, building some high-performance cars and adding special touches to other vehicles like Range Rovers.

The Shamrock (made in America) is now a collectors item, with only eight known to exist – five of them in Ireland.

Ultimately a victim of the oil crisis, sadly the company no longer makes cars, but some of their models along with the last two prototypes reside in the Monteverdi Museum in Basel. The list goes on and includes names like the RAM, the NAM and the believe it or not the Yuk. And perhaps that’s almost a good place to end if it wasn’t for one a writer of Irish descent just has to mention. The Shamrock. No it wasn’t made in Ireland, rather in America. Despite the predictions of its founder the Shamrock was far from a big seller, partly because an Austin A55 motor struggled to get a rather heavy car moving very quickly. It also had a few design flaws. Consequently very few were produced and some unsold stock was consigned to a watery grave, but as is often the case in a twist of fate the remaining cars – thought to only number eight worldwide – are very collectable. Appropriately five Shamrocks are in Ireland and three remain Stateside. If you think brand names sometimes seem unusual some of them have nothing on the model names. But that’s another story.

Bathurst weapon

ord Performance has orchestrated an on-track battle during race week at the 2018 Supercheap Auto 1000 with both Australian and global racing partners showcasing Ford’s circuit racing programmes. With an emphasis on developing innovation and technology in competition that filters through to improve road-going Ford models, three of Ford’s most significant race cars will tackle Mount Panorama in a thrilling display of Ford’s global performance capability. “We’re proud to bring Ford Performance to Supercars and proud of our heritage in the sport,” said Ford Australia and New Zealand President and CEO, Kay Hart. “The teams that design, build, work on and race Ford products are some of our greatest assets when it comes to developing new technologies that ultimately improve the performance of our road-going vehicles.” The Le Mans 24-hour winning IMSA Ford GT will be represented at Bathurst 2018 by Chip Ganassi Racing’s Ryan Briscoe, a three-time winner in the North American IMSA Series so far this year, including victory with co-driver Richard Westbrook at the prestigious Rolex Daytona 24-hour. The #67 Ford GT V6 looks set to be the fastest Ford to ever lap the mountain. The famous Ford GT won’t have the daunting 6.213km Mount Panorama layout to itself, with the first Ford Mustang GT4 to roll out of a pit-lane in Australia set to lay its own tracks around Bathurst. The Mustang GT4, a development of the Shelby GT350R-C, is powered by a 5.2-litre Coyote V8, a direct derivative of the engine under the bonnet of the road-going Ford Mustang in Australian dealerships. “Getting an opportunity to pilot this car around Mount Panorama is massively exciting,” said Tony D’Alberto, from Shell V-Power Racing Team, who will be in charge of the Mustang GT4. “We’re making the change to Mustang

in Supercars for 2019, so to be getting a run in that iconic shape around Bathurst a year early is a privilege. Allan Moffatt’s Trans-Am Mustang was a monster, and the GT4 is the modern version of that, so I can’t wait to feel and hear its thumping V8 bellowing up and down the Mountain.” With 14 of Ford’s 19 wins at Mount Panorama, there’s no more fitting machine to benchmark around the circuit than a Falcon Supercar. At the wheel of the 23Red Ford Falcon FG X will be Alex Davison, who will pilot the #230 Falcon with two-time Bathurst winner and brother, Will Davison, in this year’s 1000km enduro. “It’s a great opportunity for our last Bathurst with the FG X Falcon to put it up against some of the fastest Fords in the world,” said Davison. “I feel really lucky – it’s an absolute privilege to be part of.” DJR Team Penske, Ford Tickford Racing and 23Red Racing will race the Falcon for the last time at Bathurst as they fight for a final victory for one of the most successful nameplates of any make to race at Bathurst. “Falcon’s legacy at Bathurst is remarkable, and we know fans around the country, regardless of their allegiance, acknowledge this,” said Supercars CEO, Sean Seamer. “From the sheer emotion of the 2006 race, which became the first of the three Falcon wins in a row, to Dick Johnson’s Tru-Blu XD and the mighty XY Phase III GT-HO, the Falcon has left an indelible mark in the history of this Great Race.” In tribute, a road-going version of the ’67 Bathurst-winning Ford XR GT from Ford Australia’s Heritage Collection will be part of a gathering of famous Falcons celebrating the nameplate’s success at both Bathurst and Australian touring car racing over five decades. In stark-contrast to the simple black paintwork of Fred Gibson and Harry Firth’s winner, all 500 road-going iterations of the first ‘Bathurst’ Falcon were finished in ‘GT Gold’.

been part of this story that has been told over half a century has been an absolute privilege.” Paris has a special significance to the Jaguar XJ. In 1968 the XJ made its debut at the show, with Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons revealing his vision for a saloon car with the handling of an E-type. The luxury model was a revelation with its compelling combination of beauty, poise and performance. Since then, the presentation halls of Paris have played a regular role in the life of the XJ – the XJ X300 was unveiled at the event in 1994 and the revolutionary XJ X350, with its lightweight aluminium monocoque made its debut there in 2002. Returning to the Paris Motor Show 50

years after its first appearance on the show stand caps a series of celebrations for one of the world’s great saloon cars, which has been the choice of business leaders, celebrities, politicians and royalty for five decades. The celebrations began with the introduction of the XJ50 earlier in 2018. The special edition model includes Autobiography-style front and rear bumpers, purposeful new 20-inch Venom wheels, black front grille and unique badging to the rear and side vents. Inside, the luxury cabin features an embossed leaper on the headrests, an XJ50 logo on the centre armrest, unique intaglio branding and XJ50-badged illuminated treadplates.

Rare Brabham’s infamous history

vintage racing car stolen last year has been found by Police, adding an extra layer to its already colourful history. A rare stolen vintage race car, believed to be one of only 11 in the world, has been discovered during a police raid in Lower Hutt. The 1962 Brabham BT2 was stolen from a property in Paraparaumu Beach in July last year. And after more than a year in the wilderness the historic car was uncovered during execution of a search warrant last Tuesday. “Everyone told me it wouldn’t be seen again,” said owner John Rapley. “I never believed I would get a racing car like this . I built it up from a bit of wreckage – and the car has a big history. Everyone remembers it from the 60s.” The car was reportedly used as the getaway car in the Great Train Robbery by driver Roy ‘The Weasel’ James. It is also believed Kiwi Formula One driver Denny Hulme drove it before it was passed on

to another racing legend, Graham McRae. In 1987 Rapley got his hands on the car, spending hours making it roadworthy. But 30 years later his prized possession was stolen. Although the car is no longer driveable, Rapley says he’s very pleased to have it back. “She’s certainly had one hell of a ride.” The Great Train Robbery was the robbery of £2.6 million from a Royal Mail train heading from Glasgow to London in the early hours of August 1963. After having tampered with the lineside signals to bring the train to a halt, a 15-strong gang attacked the train. They escaped with over £2.6 million (equivalent to £50m today). The bulk of the stolen money was never recovered. Former racing driver Roy James was the getaway driver during the famous robbery. The successful Formula Two driver claimed he turned to crime because he was unable to get the sponsorship to enable him to drive Formula One. He died in 1997 at 61.

Buying that first e-bike Y

our first e-bike is a big investment. Someone will probably say: “But you could have bought a car for that money!” So it’s worth getting it right. Also see “You get what you pay for, it is that simple“.

e-bike reviews are courtesy of NZ Electric Bike Review

Step 1 – Understand what you will use it for

If you don’t really know, then you probably shouldn’t buy one. This will help you narrow your choices substantially and add some criteria into your decision tree. Most people are going to use their e-bikes for commuting, going to the shops or light touring (eg rail trails). For those who would prefer to buy a real eMTB that involves a whole different set of criteria. Knowing how you will use the bike will tell us how much range you need the bike to do. Set a budget too – from $2400 to $10,000. You typically get what you pay for (but more is not necessarily right for your needs).

Step 2 – The basics

For the rest of us, that means we want something comfortable, and that can carry our gear. So we probably want some biggish tyres, a rack on the back, built-in lights and mudguards. I can’t stress how much you want mudguards, because it sometimes rains and you don’t want your feet, bum and face to get soaked. Generally, the e-MTB frames don’t allow you to easily retrofit mudguards and racks, or lights that are powered by the battery. Decide on the frame type – do you need a step-through style? More upright or more racey? Do looks matter to you, because some of the best bikes are ugly ducklings? Do you need to put your bike in the car, carry it up stairs? In which case a folding e-bike like the Onya might suit. Bigger wheels are better for most purposes, so only go for a small-wheel bike if it meets a particular need.

Step 3 – The battery The battery is likely the most expensive component on an e-bike, so it’s precisely where the ‘shaving’ might come from to reach a price point. So how much do you need? Speed, headwinds, hills, and your weight (plus your gear), play a major part in determining how far you will go (in descending order of impact). Batteries deteriorate with age too, so make sure you have a contingency in mind. Mid-drive motors tend to be a bit more efficient than hub drive motors (because they can use your gears and make you pedal a bit) so you will likely get a little bit more range. The only true way to tell is to use your intended bike on your intended route. 11Ah (~400Wh) battery will take you around 20-75km in a full charge. 13.8Ah (~500Wh) battery will go 3090km. Manufacturers post ludicrous high numbers assuming you are using a very low assist level. Why not just say ‘infinite’ assuming the motor is off? It’s about as useful. Many Euro bikes seem to go a long way which is often ascribed to the ‘more efficient’ mid drive motors. There is only a tiny bit of truth in it, mostly it is because these bikes are typically speed limited to 25km/h. At 35km/h most motors and motor types are similar in their power use.

Step 4 – The motor

For our purposes, it doesn’t really matter where the motor is (front, rear or middle). What does matter is how the bike feels – more about that later. The main types of motors are as follows: Geared rear hub. These are the most common in NZ (eg Smartmotion, BH, Magnum, Onya, Pedego). They are relatively cheap and can be made quite powerful for their size and weight. They tend to make a little bit of noise as there are internal gears and some electically induced noise from cheaper controllers. Since you have a rear hub motor, you are restricted to derailleur gears. Punctures are nightmare with a rear hub motor, so be sure to get good punctureresistant tyres. Geared front hub. eZee bikes use this configuration for Sprint and Torq, as do some cheaper imports, kits and Faraday. It enables internal hub gears and creates better balance when you are loaded up with panniers, child seats. Direct drive hub. Can be front or rear (Specialized Turbo up to 2016, Stromer, Grace). They are totally silent and can be fast but are heavy. That puncture comment again… Mid drive. This is the typical configuration for European bikes powered by Bosch (Haibike XDuro, Scott, Moustache, some Trek), Impulse (Kalkhoff, Focus), Yamaha (Haibike Sduro, Lapierre), Shimano Steps (Avanti, some Merida, some Trek) or Brose (Specialized Vado, some Scott, Bulls). Bafang/Dapu/Shengyi also make mid drive units including units popular for aftermarket conversions and increasingly in full bikes too (although they are different than the aftermarket drives). Mid-drive is arguably the best location as it allows for a balanced bike and it uses your gears, so you have a choice of gear types (eg hub gears, derailleur). However because it drives through your

chain it requires more diligent maintenance. They are more complex so might also require engine maintenance or repair. What we mostly care about, it if the motor can make it up our hills, and can it go fast enough for us? Almost all the mid-drive Euro bikes are speed limited to 25-27km/h. Most NZ geared rear hub bikes can do around 3238km/h. Ideally you want to try the bike on your route especially if you live near steep hills. On watts: We have a 300W power restriction in NZ, and the way it gets interpreted is inconsistent. Bottom line is, don’t pay too much attention to Watts, try the bike for yourself. The controller (ie the ability to supply lots of current) is more important to power than the motor itself, and generally it is an invisible component. Same thing for Volts, though 48V is likely to give more grunt than the more common 36V.

Step 5 – The feel and ride

You have to like the fit and ride if you are going to enjoy your e-bike. Assuming the bike fits, the feel of the ride is a combination of many factors including geometry, saddle and other contact points, quality of the frame/wheels/tyres/gears, the motor, its controller and sensors. The Smartmotion Catalyst and Pacer allow you to select between cadence and torque sensing. A nice feature.

Step 6 – Component Quality

The more you pay, the better quality componentry you can expect. If you intend to do high mileage, ensure the wheels are good quality (they will have eyelets around the spokes), especially if it is a rear hub drive. Rebuilding a bent or broken wheel will cost a few hundred dollars. Not such an issue for mid-drive bikes with regular hubs, you can buy new wheels off-the-shelf. Hydraulic disk brakes are nice especially

if you intend to ride fast or down steep hills. Bear in mind that you will go through a set of disk pads in 1000-2000km so make sure replacements are readily available. Most ebikes have Tektro brakes which are good and pads are readily available. Rim brakes are typically best avoided unless they are hydraulics like on the Kalkhoffs and Kreidlers. Tyres cost $30-70 to replace, so your major consideration is puncture resistance. Repairing a puncture on the road with a rear or front hub bike might not be practically possible for most mortals. Gears don’t matter as much as you might think, especially with hub drives. Most of them will work just fine. More (up to 11) is a sign of quality of componentry while being vaguely useful (different story for eMTB). Lights need to be up to the task. It is hard to change them out for something better. The saddle choice is personal – you could always ask your retailer to swap it out if you don’t like the one on the bike. Locks are another important thought. Built-in frame locks are great, better if you get the add-on chain and best if the same key works for lock and battery. Cable locks are useless so don’t bother.

Other Considerations

An ebike represents a substantial financial investment – often cost justified over a few years use. Serviceability and ongoing support are vital. Do ask some questions of the supplier and retailer and their ability to provide spare parts on an ongoing basis – in a timely manner – which means spares available in NZ. You don’t want to find yourself in a situation where an electrical component has failed a year out and is unrepairable, or the battery is not holding charge and you can’t buy a new one. There are lots of little bits to an ebike that you may not even think about.

Fuel price rise reactions staggering I

t’s hard to know quite how to react to the rising price of petrol at the pump – but some of the ideas starting to surface around the traps are quite mindboggling. As the price seems to rise at a rapid rate around most of the country, more and more New Zealanders are starting to throw their hands up in the air and say that enough is enough. And rightly so too. With a really high cost of living already being imposed on most normal New Zealand citizens, an added pressure of having to be even more vigilant when it comes time to fill the car up with

fuel is another stress so many families across the land are not going to need. People pushed financially are most susceptible to doing brainless things too and it was only a matter of time before the warning came from Police which appears further forward in today’s paper about ensuring that fuel

is properly stored away to help detract would-be opportunists. It is one time, I wouldn’t mind living back in Christchurch, to be honest. Not much about the traffic scene there, particularly following the quakes, was appealing – but right now the prospect of jumping on a bus and paying the few dollars to get to where I want to go and back again would be a welcome treat. I used to spend about $20 a week on travel when I lived up there and now I wouldn’t even want to know what the weekly fuel bill is. Unfortunately, we aren’t bless-

ed with a public transport system here in Mid Canterbury, but what a welcome addition that would be at the moment with fuel at its current price. All it would take is some entrepreneur to start up a bit of a business in which transportation between Ashburton and the key townships around the district was offered. A van of some description which ferried Ashburton workers to and from home could help ease some of the strain and there’d be a few who would automatically put their hand up to use the service, myself included if it was suitable.

With no real end in sight for these petrol prices, you’d expect some schemes or ways to handle things to start cropping up around the place. Already there’s been a notable rise in people asking on community groups for transportation to and from places and it looks set to just keep on increasing as things continue. Perhaps it’s not so much about learning to deal with the increased costs, but more about thinking smarter and looking for ways to improve things by somehow cutting costs. With no end in sight, it may actually become our only option.

rather than talking about substance. Five years ago: In a stealthy seaside assault in Somalia and in a raid in Libya’s capital, US military forces struck out against Islamic extremists who had carried out terrorist attacks in East Africa, snatching Abu Anas al-Libi, allegedly involved in the bombings of US embassies 15 years earlier. (Al-Libi has since pleaded not guilty to the embassy bombings.) A monster truck went out of control at an Extreme Aeroshow in Chihuahua, Mexico, killing eight people and injuring ten times as many. Wladimir Klitschko retained his WBA and IBF heavyweight

titles, unanimously outpointing previously undefeated Alexander Povetkin in Moscow. One year ago: Hollywood executive Harvey Weinstein announced that he was taking a leave of absence from his company after a New York Times article detailed decades of alleged sexual harassment against women including actress Ashley Judd. The National Rifle Association and the White House expressed support for controls on “bump stock” devices like those that apparently aided the gunman behind the Las Vegas attack; the NRA later said it was opposed to an outright ban on the devices.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, October 5, the 278th day of 2018. There are 87 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On October 5, 1983, Solidarity founder Lech Walesa was named winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. On this date: In 1931, Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon completed the first non-stop flight across the Pacific Ocean, arriving in Washington state some 41 hours after leaving Japan. In 1947, President Harry S. Truman delivered the first televised White House address as he spoke on the world food crisis. In 1958, racially-desegregated Clinton High School in Clinton, Tennessee, was mostly levelled by an early morning bombing. In 1969, the British TV comedy programme Monty Python’s Flying Circus made its debut on BBC 1. In 1984, the space shuttle Challenger blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center on an 8-day mission; the crew included Kathryn D. Sullivan, who became the first American woman to walk in space, and Marc Garneau, the first Canadian astronaut. In 1989, a jury in Charlotte, North Carolina, convicted former P-T-L evangelist Jim Bakker of using his television show to defraud followers. In 1999, two packed commuter trains collided near London’s Paddington Station, killing 31 people. In 2001, tabloid photo editor Robert Stevens died from inhaled anthrax, the first of a series of anthrax cases in Florida, New York, New Jersey and Washington. In 2011, Apple founder Steve Jobs, 56, died in Palo Alto, California. Ten years ago: Republican vicepresidential candidate Sarah Palin defended her claim that Barack Obama “pals around with terrorists,” referring to his association on a charity board a few years earlier with 1960s radical Bill Ayers. Obama accused John McCain’s campaign of trying to distract votes with “smears”

Three items of useless info T

his week it was either a rant about the domain tractor and the PC Police or three pieces of (useless) information that I have come across this week. I figured you may be getting sick me going on about the over protective PC world we live in now.

Working with the Mrs is a good thing! Are you lucky enough to have a ‘work-wife’? Or a ‘work-husband’? If so, you might be aware that you get more benefits from that relationship than sharing eyerolls at colleagues and encouraging each other to buy ridiculously expensive lunches. And I’m not talking about THAT kind of benefit, either. A study shows that those of us with strong work friendships and relationships are more likely to be properly engaged at work, and feel more encouraged to fulfil their potential and create better results for their employer. Apparently, it boils down to an “in it together” attitude that leads to increased productivity.

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

Employees who socialise with co-workers tend to be happier at work, stay at their jobs longer, be more creative, and enjoy more success in their careers. If it’s anything like us at Hokonui, when we socialise together, we get stories to tell for years to come. Good news single blokes! If you are a guy looking for love online, here is some promising news. New findings show that you don’t have to have chiselled abs and the face of a movie star to attract interest from potential dates. Oxford University analysed 150,000 heterosexual online dating profiles and a decade’s worth of communication data from dating site eHarmony, and found that “average” looking

men receive more messages from women. Straight women are more likely to message men who rate themselves as 5/10 for attractiveness than men who believe they’re a solid 10, likely because they’re perceived as being more faithful and reliable. For women, it’s most important to show yourself to be athletic if you want to generate interest. Presenting yourself as romantic and altruistic is also likely to increase your chances. That was on dating sites. I would suggest Tinder is a whole different ballgame! Average looks are fine … as long as you have above-average income!? Bed habits analysed Do you make your bed? Every morning? Or just on weekends? And what does that say about you? According to a survey of 2000 people, those who make their beds each morning are more likely to be “morning people” who wake up without needing an alarm (is that even possible?). These people tend to nap for

an average of 43 minutes daily, and are more likely to enjoy jazz music and romantic films. What about the rest? If you don’t make your bed most mornings, you are likely to be someone who hits the snooze button, and naps for an average of 50 minutes daily. You are more likely to enjoy rock music, watch comedies like Seinfeld and oldie movies. Sixty per cent of respondents claimed that they make their beds every day, while 40 per cent said they do not make their beds most mornings. Do the people who make their beds daily, make them again after their naps? I’m not sure Manda would appreciate me making the bed at 4am with her in it.

In brief

■ IMF

Banks in ‘doom loop’ The world’s lender of last resort has issued a stark warning that a decade on from the financial crisis banks are still exposed to risky government debt. The so-called “doom loop”, in which banks hold too great a share of state loans on their balance sheets, is still a persistent issue for countries and regulators, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said in a major report on financial stability, reports the Daily Telegraph. The warning comes after fresh concerns about the doom loop’s impact were raised by Italy’s budget proposals. The country has the second highest debt-to-GDP ratio in the eurozone at 132 per cent, after Greece. Italy’s populist leaders are attempting to push ahead with a figure of 2.4 per cent deficit spending. With public finances already under strain the value of Italian bonds fell sharply on the

news, driving up borrowing costs and putting pressure on Italian banks, which hold nearly 10 per cent of government debt. Markets across the EU fell as a result. Overspending by a state pushes down the value of a country’s debts, as seen during the Greek debt crisis. This devalues banks’ balance sheets if they hold a large proportion of those government bonds. If banks then run out of liquidity, and need bailing out, it can add to a nation’s deficit, looping back around and further driving down the value of its debts. This creates a high degree of shared risk of financial instability. The proportion of sovereign debt held by banks has continued rising, the IMF said. “Holdings of government securities have risen in many countries, which could also signal persistence of the links between banks and sovereigns – an issue

Top Bohemian-style Australian-head quartered international design boutique chain Camilla, worn by Richie McCaw’s wife Gemma Flynn, is tipped to open its first New Zealand store next year but nothing official has yet been confirmed. Sources close to Scentre Group’s Westfield Newmarket redevelopment at 277 Broadway and 309 Broadway say the glamorous clothing line’s retail offering is the first big-name Australian retailer planning to make a splash here by opening its first New Zealand store at the redeveloped and vastly expanded Newmarket site. - NZME

TIL expanding Trucking operator TIL Logistics is acquiring Specialised Lifting and Transport Group to increase its capacity to move large loads and better compete with Australian rivals. The company, which already operates Multi-Trans Heavyhaul, has agreed to pay $19 million in cash and shares for Specialised Lifting and Transport, which comprises Tranzcarr Heavy Haulage, Machinery Movers and Huge Movers. TIL chief executive Alan Pearson said the purchase expands the group’s network and the range of services it can offer customers. - NZME

that will remain a challenge to authorities,” the report added. It added: “The sovereign-bank linkages have proven particularly potent in cases when the domestic banking system is heavily exposed to sovereign debt and where the debt itself is assessed to be high risk.”

The lender also lashed out at credit ratings agencies, highlighting both their integral role within the 2009 financial crisis, as well as ongoing conflicts of interest. The agencies, which include the likes of Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, grade the risk attached to debt. However, they are also paid by the issuer of the debt to perform that role. This created “well-recognised incentive problems”, the IMF said. Despite some efforts at reform, and the agencies’ models having “weaknesses” and “failures”, they “retain a central role in the financial system”, it added. The concerns in the IMF report follow clear hints from its head Christine Lagarde that it will cut its imminent forecast for global economic growth, citing concerns about the burgeoning trade war between the US and China. - PA

Dairy prices take another drop

t was a mixed week for global markets this week following a slew of stronger-than-expected US economic data, easing concerns over the Italian budget and ongoing Brexit uncertainty. The Dow Jones reached record highs, and Japanese shares touched a 27-year high on a weaker yen. Australia’s banking Royal Commission weighed on the financial sector across the ditch, while Chinese markets were closed for a week-long public holiday. Back home, the NZX 50 eased off recent highs, with little in the way of company news and economic releases. Monday marked the beginning of the traditionally strong December quarter. Since 1950, the S&P 500 has risen 4.1 per cent on average during the final three months of the year (well ahead of the 1.5 per cent average for the other three quarters) and returns have been positive 79 per cent of the time. Mid-term elections take place in the US in November, and fourth quarter returns are usually even stronger during mid-term election years. US markets started the week off on a positive note on news of Canada joining a trade deal with the United States. The new trade deal is set to replace the current North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and is expected to be named the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA for short. US President Donald Trump heralded the agreement as “truly historic”.

ON THE MARKETS

While NAFTA had an indefinite lifespan, USMCA will expire in 16 years. The three countries are expected to sign the deal by end of November, before outgoing Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto leaves office. Each country must write legislation, which then must be approved by congress before USMCA comes into force. If ratified, most of the agreement’s provisions are expected to take effect in 2020. US indices also got a boost following a slew of stronger-thanexpected US economic data. The ISM non-manufacturing index, which measures activity in the US services sector, rose to 61.6 for the month, its highest level since the index was created in 2008. Economists had expected the index to reach 58. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10year Treasury note jumped to 3.18 per cent, its highest since 2011. On a separate note, private payrolls increased by 230,000 in September, the most since February, beating expectations of a gain of 185,000. Crude oil prices edged higher again this week, rising to a fouryear high as markets adjust to the prospect of tighter supply once the US sanctions against Iran kicks in next month.

Investors fear there may not be enough spare production capacity in the short-term to meet demand. The US benchmark for crude rose to $76.41 a barrel on Wednesday, its highest since November 2014. Back home, the latest Global Dairy Trade (GDT) auction took place this week and saw dairy prices drop for an eleventh time out of the past 13 auctions. The headline index fell 1.9 per cent, with butter milk powder, rennet casein and lactose the only products to see a gain at the event. Whole milk powder fell 1.2 per cent as supply outweighed demand, while skim milk powder was down 0.3 per cent. Butter marked the biggest decline, falling 5.9 per cent, while anhydrous milk fat slipped 4.4 per cent. Across the ditch, Australia’s wealth manager AMP saw its share price decline on news that financial regulator ASIC was preparing to launch the first Royal Commission-related legal action against the company for charging clients fees for no service. Aston Martin made its debut on the London Stock Exchange on Wednesday, however, ended the session down 4.7 per cent on concerns the company will struggle to deliver an ambitious roll-out of new models. The company has a market cap of £4.1bn. Jeremy Flood works for Craigs Investment Partners. This article should not be deemed as advice. Disclosure statement available free of charge and on request.

■ HASTINGS

Bosson excited to be back Everything’s apples with Opie Bosson ahead of his comeback to race-riding at Hastings tomorrow. The champion hoop had just finished his daily workout and was munching on an apple when New Zealand Racing Desk caught up with him yesterday. It’s clear Bosson is ripe for his return, he’s eating properly and has lost 10 kilograms in the past five weeks after admitting he let his weight get away on him during his winter recess. He attributes his return to riding weight to the encouragement of David Ellis, the boss of Te Akau Racing, to whom Bosson is a retained rider. “After Melody Belle won on the first day at Hastings, I met with Dave and we sat down and sorted out a programme,” Bosson said. “So now I’m riding trackwork then working out with a personal trainer and then working on the farm during the day. I’m eating properly and I’ve lost 10 kilos from that first day. I’m feeling really good.” Bosson admits it was frustrating watching Te Akau’s glamour mare Melody Belle win the Gr.1 Tarzino Trophy (1400m) and the Gr.1 Windsor Park Plate (1600m) at Hastings without him aboard but at the same time was rapt for successful jockey Shafiq Rusof.

“It was a little frustrating because it would have been me had I not let my weight go but it was good to see Shafiq get those wins. “He’s a top-class rider and he deserves every success,” Bosson said. A winner of 60 Group One races, Bosson heads to Hastings to ride the Jamie Richards-trained Our Abbadean in the Livamol Classic (2040m) and his most recent Group One winner Sword Of Osman in the Gr.2 Sacred Falls Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m). “I thought Our Abbadean was one of the runs of the race [for fifth in the Windsor Park Plate]. She came from last and got held up making her run,” Bosson said. “Stepping up to 2000m now is ideal. I’ve been riding her in work and she’s been working well. She’s bounced through that last race really well.” Bosson said Sword Of Osman’s trackwork gallops have been even better. “He’s working outstanding but we just don’t know about his last run. He was too disappointing to be true so we’ll just have to see how he goes on Saturday.” Bosson has taken two other rides at Hastings, Quaff and Irish Flame, both for New Plymouth trainer John Wheeler. - NZME

In brief Improvement needed Cambridge trainer Stephen Marsh will be hoping that Ugo Foscolo can recapture his black-type form in the Red Badge Sprint at Hastings tomorrow. The Group One-winning son of Zacinto ran third fresh-up over 1200m at Ruakaka last month before winning an 1100m trial at Te Rapa and Marsh is hopeful of a solid performance from the fiveyear-old. “He’s going to go in fit and ready, so we are hoping he can show his best there.” - NZME

Kiwi import on trial Champion Victorian trainer Darren Weir has little expectation of recent stable addition Verry Elleegant. The winner of two of her three starts in New Zealand for trainer Nick Bishara, Weir is pleased with the daughter of Zed and is hoping to get a guide as to where she is at when she tackles the Gr.2 Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on Saturday. - NZME

Racing at Otaki

Opie Bosson gets back on the horse tomorrow.

Racing is set to resume at the Otaki racecourse on October 22 after it withstood a track test on Wednesday where 18 horses worked on the renovated track over a variety of distances from the inside rail. “The track looked a picture and performed in accordance with its appearance,” stipendiary steward Neil Goodwin said. - NZME

■ RANGIORA TRIALS

Monbet frustrates trainers Greg and Nina Hope are having a very frustrating run on the comeback trail with Monbet. The 2016 Horse of the Year, not sighted for almost two years now, was a late scratching from Wednesday’s Rangiora trials but, once again, it was just due to a minor hiccup. Monbet was supposed to commence his comeback at last week’s Rangiora trials, but skipped those as a precaution after another minor issue. News of Monbet’s scratching came through during the course of the trials programme after Hope was about to head to the track with him. “It was while loading him up that he sweated up quite badly and it appears he’s had a minor bout of colic,” said driver Ricky May about the star trotter. “There was no point taking him like that, but he recovered very quickly and Greg said he’d thrown him in the cart for a jog and he was fine. “So, he’ll probably go to the Methven workouts on Saturday now, but Greg must be starting to wonder just what is going to happen next.” Monbet’s trial at Rangiora was easily won by last season’s 3YO Trotter of the Year and rising star Winterfell and he’s likely to resume at Addington next week. In his first outing since winning at the Jewels, Winterfell was given an easy run in front and held off a late charge by Woodstone to win in a sedate 3.30.3, home in 58.4 and 29.2. There is a nice R80 front discretionary handicap for Winterfell at next week’s Addington meeting and then he will head to Ashburton and on to Cup Week, where the Dominion is a possibility if he is performing. The main pacing heat was won by Cullenburn, who zipped up the passing

lane after trailing for Benny Hill to beat the pacemaking Swamp Major in a solid 3.20.2, home in 57.8 and 28.6. But the eye-catching runs in behind the front markers came from Pat’s Delight (20m), Hail Christian and Cruz Bromac (40m). The latter has been with the All Stars for a couple of months in preparation for the New Zealand Cup and in his first public outing here, Natalie Rasmussen was never going to knock him about, but Cruz Bromac made ground as well as anything in the run home. Pat’s Delight was at the rear a lap out but improved with cover from that point and charged home to be beaten less than a length. He might resume at Ashburton in the R64 discretionary handicap provided he is not handicapped beyond 30m. Bettor Joy looked much sharper for her trial last week when she charged home for Murray Howard to gun down Sicario in their 2000-metre heat. She is coming back on a difficult 89 rating but will be able to slip into the up to R91 mile for fillies and mares at Ashburton on Labour Day. Graham and Paul Court have had a great run from supporting Shadow Play with the likes of Brilliant Strike, Beyond Belief and Stick Man, and now they have another good one that looks ready to strike again. Cast No Shadow, who beat War Hero in a maiden race for two-year-olds at Washdyke in the autumn, had his second trial back at Rangiora and won comfortably after Blair Orange took him to the front inside the mile mark. Mark Purdon earlier won three consecutive maiden pacing heats with Bettor’s Delight three-year-olds in Portalegre, Slingshot and Ultimate Sniper. - HRNZ

Future bright for Aoraki

In brief Big punch required Joseph Parker’s next opponent is yet to be confirmed but whoever it is should expect an attacking onslaught from the Kiwi heavyweight who stated yesterday: “I need a knockout, you know, a devastating knockout, a one-punch knockout.” Parker will expect to achieve this when he takes the ring at Christchurch’s Horncastle Arena on December 15 for what is likely to be an entertaining show. It has been well documented that Parker hasn’t achieved a stoppage victory since he knocked out Alexander Dimitrenko in Auckland two years ago. - NZME

New catamaran series New Zealander Russell Coutts is moving past the America’s Cup to help launch what he hopes is a commercially sustainable sailing league using supercharged foiling 50-foot catamarans capable of zipping across the tops of waves at 53 knots.

Teams from the United States, Australia, Great Britain, France, Japan and China will compete in highly advanced catamarans called F50s. - NZME

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

His side might only have taken one win away from the South Island Under-18 Girls’ Rugby Tournament, but Aoraki coach Mick Geary was a happy man at the end of the tournament on Tuesday. Aoraki’s young players – including seven from Mid Canterbury – stuck with most of the South Island’s bigger unions early on and showed that they were more than up to the challenge. And with the side only likely to lose around six players for next season Geary was excited about what 2019 could bring. The team finished runners-up at the tournament last year, but this year the challenges from the bigger unions like Canterbury and Southland just proved too much.

ROUND SEVEN

On Sunday’s opening day at Tai Tapu, Aoraki went down 24-5 to Otago, before picking up its sole win of the tournament against Canterbury B 12-5. On Monday Aoraki went down 36-10 to Southland and 17-0 to Tasman before being beaten by eventual winners Canterbury 470. Canterbury then beat Otago in the final 36-7. In the past Mid and South Canterbury had joined with North Otago to form a Hanan Shield team, but with North Otago having joined with Otago this year Mid and South Canterbury instead formed a team under the Aoraki banner. Schools from the two unions played in a combined secondary schools’ competition during the winter months, and the team was chosen from that competition.

Geary was the coach of this year’s winning team, Craighead, which beat the Ashburton College/Mount Hutt combined side in the final. At the South Island tournament the games were 22.5 minute halves, so once you let a team in front it was hard to peg them back, Geary said. But his side never gave up and played with incredible heart over the busy three days. “It’s quite a big ask. “It’s a long day at the office when you have a game in the morning and a game in the afternoon, there’s always some sore bodies at the end of the day,” Geary said. Geary said Ashburton College lock Aidan Elvines was one of the Aoraki side’s standouts, along with halfback Piper Jones, who made the tournament team.

Ashburton College’s Naomi Sooaemalelagi was tenacious on defence, letting few past her at second-five or centre, while Kate Donald was the side’s captain from first-five. “She’s pretty special. She’s a great leader and just the glue that held everyone together,” Geary said. Naumai Terekia, on the wing, and pocket rocket Paris Gola completed the Ashburton College contingent in the team, while Mount Hutt’s Tayla Barnaby and Tyla Harraway were also in the side and Geary described them as real workhorses around the ruck. Meanwhile, Mid Canterbury’s Jaidyn Busch was a star performer for the tournament-winning Canterbury side at number eight, also making the tournament team.

AGSTAFF MID CANTERBURY VS BULLER

Just 20, Jake Clifford is already confident enough to override the great Johnathan Thurston’s on-field calls at North Queensland. But the young playmaker insists he has much to learn before stepping up in Thurston’s absence at the Cowboys next season. And Clifford is hoping time spent with Daly Cherry-Evans and Ben Hunt in the Prime Minister’s XIII will fast track his education. Capping his stellar year, fiveeighth Clifford will partner skipper Cherry-Evans in the halves for Saturday’s annual clash with Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby. - AAP

In brief

■ RUGBY

Return of the big guns By Patrick Mckendry For the last year or so, Jack Goodhue has been the future for the All Blacks in terms of their midfield and now he’s their present as well after being selected alongside Sonny Bill Williams in a strong side to play South Africa. If the 23-year-old centre does the basics well at Loftus Versfeld on Sunday morning, and trusts himself and the players around him, it will probably see him cement his position in the No. 13 jersey ahead of Ryan Crotty (named on the reserves bench) and Anton Lienert-Brown (left out altogether). “He’s playing well; not to say that Ryan’s not, but he’s playing very well and we want to see that combination of him and Sonny,” coach Steve Hansen said. “We last saw it in the French series. We know a lot about Ryan and Jack but we don’t know a lot about Sonny and Jack. “All year we’ve been trying to work out what’s our best combination in that area for the future and this is an opportunity to do that.” Predictably, Owen Franks is back at tighthead prop, with No. 8 Kieran Read and halfback Aaron Smith also returning as the All Blacks seek to overturn their defeat by the Springboks in Wellington three weeks ago. It’s Goodhue’s selection which stands out, though, for his youth and relative inexperience and what it represents in terms of the selectors’ thinking. The 30-year-old Crotty has been a dependable player and unlucky too given his terrible run of injuries and in particular concussions. Crotty is also a more dangerous attacker than many give him credit for, but there is a sense of a changing of the guard in Goodhue’s selection and it’s up to him to make the most of it. Goodhue’s last test was off the bench against the Boks in Wellington and he brought a directness and calmness to the attack which was probably missing elsewhere from Hansen’s men. Such is his level-headedness, he’s unlikely to be fazed by the potential enormity of his selection even allowing for the fact he has played only five tests and started only one alongside Williams. “For a young guy he’s got an old head on him,” Hansen said.

weekend against Argentina in Buenos Aires, with Crotty being given a relatively unfamiliar role there and TJ Perenara resuming his back-up role to Aaron Smith. Hansen said it was probably too much to ask from Damian McKenzie, now with the team in Johannesburg after he flew home from Buenos Aires due to a family bereavement, to back it up with a playing role on Sunday. “Damian had to fly home from Argentina and then back so he’s had an extra flight. “To throw another game in as well, he probably doesn’t need that,” Hansen said. Likewise, Lienert-Brown had relatively high recent playing minutes, albeit off the bench mainly, and was due for a rest. Lock Brodie Retallick remains a conspicuous absentee due to a shoulder injury suffered against the Pumas in Nelson last month but there is an experience and solidity to the match-day squad that the All Blacks will need for what has become a highly-anticipated test despite the fact they’ve already won the Rugby Championship. “It brings a lot of experience and firepower and I think we’re going to need it,” Hansen said regarding the return of his heavy artillery. “They’re a confident side at the moment, the Boks. They’ve grown another arm and a leg since they knocked us over in Wellington. “I thought they played really well against Aussie and they’ll be looking forward to fronting up again on Saturday.” - NZME

ALL BLACKS

Jack Goodhue is fast becoming the centre of choice. “He plays really maturely. “He’s a traditional centre, I think, in that he’s got the ability to put people into space. “He’s a good reader on defence and he’s got a bit of gas as well.” “It was a pretty straightforward team to pick, really, to be honest,

even in talking about what we want to do with Jack and that was a pretty easy one too.” Another talking point is the backline cover on the bench, where Richie Mo’unga will be given another chance to repeat his impact from that position last

Aussies have momentum Australia’s women want a clean sweep of the Twenty20 series against New Zealand and wont treat today’s encounter as a chance to tinker with tactics for next month’s global tournament.

The Brighton Miracle Japan’s stunning 2015 World Cup victory over South Africa is to be turned into a film with the working name of ‘The Brighton Miracle’. New Zealand actor Temuera Morrison is to play Eddie Jones, England’s current head coach who masterminded the 34-32 triumph at The Amex that was secured when Karne Hesketh crossed in the final minute. The result is considered the greatest upset in rugby history and enabled Jones to succeed Stuart Lancaster. Filming is expected to begin in January on the Gold Coast. - PA

‘We owe the coaches’ Wallabies coaches are copping the brunt, but it’s the players who need to take ownership of the team’s dire predicament. That’s the view of second-row enforcer Adam Coleman, who said his team-mates have absorbed the pain from last month’s defeat to Argentina and are ready to pay it back with interest in the return fixture on Sunday morning. “Not only do we owe it to the coaches but we owe it to ourselves ... (and) also to the Australians back home.” - AAP

■ BASKETBALL

NZ Breakers turn up the heat on Phoenix Suns The New Zealand Breakers came within just five points of pulling off an historic upset against the Phoenix Suns. The Suns, led by this year’s number one NBA Draft pick Deandre Ayton, beat the Breakers 91-

86 in a sparsely populated Talking Stick Arena in Phoenix yesterday in the latest clash of the sevengame NBL-NBA exhibition series. The Suns were considered the most vulnerable target of the visiting NBL squads seeking a win

against a team from the world’s best basketball league. The Suns had the NBA’s worst record last season and against the Breakers were without injured star guard Devin Booker who recently signed a $158 million contract.

The Breakers scored the first basket of the game to take a 2-0 lead, but the Suns quickly took control and did just enough to maintain a buffer throughout. The Suns led 52-42 at halftime. In the final minute the Breakers,

led by Corey Webster, cut the lead to four points. In the past week the LA Clippers beat the Sydney Kings 110-91, the Jazz crushed the Wildcats 130-72 and Philadelphia cruised to a 10484 win over Melbourne. - AAP

In brief Storm camp confident Melbourne have hosed down fears Cameron Smith is set to dramatically bring down the curtain on his illustrious NRL career over a contract stalemate. Both Smith and the Storm have stated they want him to play on, however it’s rumoured that the two parties are at loggerheads over money. It seems unimaginable that Sunday’s grand final loss to the Sydney Roosters may have been the last game of the Storm skipper’s career which has spanned a record 384 NRL games, 42 Origins and 56 tests. - AAP

Reynolds wants another As he rolls up to the Bathurst 1000 for the first time as a Great Race winner, David Reynolds has to stop to ask. Did it really happen? As he approached the track, the goosebumps returned. “When you roll up and you go over the crest of the hill and see the descent into the paddock, I just thought, ‘I can’t believe I won this’,” he said. The larrikin 33-year-old likens the co-driver race to being thrown into a movie. “You’re sitting there in the pits watching (your co-driver). The race is going on and it looks like a movie, it’s dramatic.” - AAP

Twilight Tennis is a social tennis competition that runs on Wednesday nights at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre throughout summer.

Will Davison has recorded the quickest time in the rain at Mount Panorama, steering his Ford Falcon to the top of the practice timing charts for the Bathurst 1000. Davison led 2014 champion Chaz Mostert home in a tame and wet opening session, recording a 2min 25.0243sec lap. In scenes unlikely to be repeated across the weekend, there was no Holden in the top six times yesterday. There was little danger of times dipping too low, with a sullen race track and intermittent rain. Given clear skies are forecast for both qualifying and on race day for the 1000-kilometre classic, most drivers pulled their punches. - AAP

Lowndes mania at Bathurst By Ben McKay Bathurst has been transformed into a sea of support for Craig Lowndes, before one of the biggest weeks in the Supercars veteran’s career. The 2018 event is Lowndes’ 25th race at Mount Panorama and his last as a full-time driver. The popular 44-year-old made the decision to call time on his career earlier this season, in conjunction with his team Red Bull Racing. Lowndes will be back on the Mountain as a co-driver to either Jamie Whincup or Shane van Gisbergen next year. That hasn’t stopped an influx of Lowndesmania hitting the town, the scene of Lowndes’ six triumphs in the Great Race. Local businesses have laid out shop window displays celebrating his career. Lowndes face masks are available on entry to the circuit. The local council has jumped on board, bestowing honorary citizenship on the Melbourne-born champion – previously bestowed on just six motorsport greats, including Lowndes’ late mentor Peter Brock. “It’s a great honour,” Lowndes told AAP.

“It was amazing to get a phone call and be accepted in that way. “I don’t know what the benefits are but as my wife said if we get the key to the city, hopefully it opens a good restaurant.” Lowndes is a sentimental favourite for Sunday’s 1000-kilometre classic. His six race wins have come with four different co-drivers and in both Holden Commodores and Ford Falcons. Lowndes said he expected the emotion of leaving the sport to hit home at the seasonending Newcastle meet but was in no doubt of the significance of this weekend. “Seeing the famous white rock, that’s when the butterflies kick in. It’s one of the biggest weeks of my racing career,” he said. “Since (the announcement in) Townsville the fan base has been really good. “They’ve been very supportive of the decision. “Knowing we’ll be back at Bathurst and the year after, it’s probably not as emotional as Newcastle will be. “Hopefully everyone does come up here and give us a great opportunity to win another one.” - AAP Craig Lowndes is the man of the moment at Bathurst this year.

Youngsters get chance to step up The Silver Ferns have made changes in all areas of the court as they prepare for the Constellation Cup. Silver Ferns head coach Noeline Taurua has introduced three new players to the New Zealand side which went down by just five goals to the Australian Diamonds last month. Maia Wilson, Sulu Fitzpatrick, and Erikana Pedersen – who were all initially named in the Silver Ferns Development Squad – have been rewarded for their performances in both this week’s training camp and the recent ANZ Premiership season. The trio have been included for the four test series against the Australian Diamonds which tips off in Brisbane on Sunday. Taurua said although the Ferns were focused on delivering quality netball during the Constellation Cup, she wanted to look at various combinations as they continue their build-up to next year’s Netball World Cup in England. “There are limited opportunities to see how our players perform against the best in the world, but we also have to be mindful that we want to build on the performances that the Silver Ferns have produced so far,” Taurua said. “We want to have a look at combinations and what those players bring to the mix.” Wilson, who has been in and out of the squad since her debut in 2016, replaces Ameliaranne Ekenasio in the shooting circle. Well known for her accuracy and court craft in the circle, Wilson said she we relishing the opportunity to prove her worth again against the world’s best defenders. “I’m a strong target, I think that’s the main thing for why I’ve been picked in here ... my

job out there is to get out on the court, put the ball in the hoop and always be available,” she said. “[Australia] are a very physical bunch and I think that’s part of what the game’s turning into now and I think we’ve been prepping a lot in training to be able to hack it and take those balls with whatever pressure we’ve got on us.” Fitzpatrick, who gained her one test cap as a teenager back in 2011, will join Central Pulse team-mate and Ferns’ vicecaptain Katrina Grant in the defensive circle. Taurua said she hoped that the duo’s formidable style will better combat the towering Australian shooters. “With Sulu coming in we definitely have presence there now in the circle defence,” Taurua said. “She’s a bigger bodied person but also she’s got a lot of presence in the circle. “She provides something else in our defensive unit and I’m really happy to explore that more against Australia.” Taurua has had her entire squad in camp this week, including defenders Kelly Jury and Casey Kopua who were both ruled out of the series as they continue their injury rehabilitation. The two defenders are expected to return to the court for next year’s Quad Series. The Constellation Cup moves to Townsville this week before heading to Hamilton on October 14 and Wellington on October 18.

WordWheel

WordBuilder

Insert the missing letter to complete an eight-letter word reading clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Quick crossword 1

How many words of three or more letters, including plurals, can you make from the five letters, using each letter only once? No foreign words or words beginning with a capital are allowed. There is at least one fiveletter word.

TODAY’S GOALS: Good - 9 Excellent - 12

Previous solution: GERMANIC

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You are gracious and social even when you don’t feel like dealing with people. Somehow doing it anyway just puts you right in the mood, and as a direct result, good things happen for you. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Don’t underestimate the power of feeling liked. Even people who profess not to care if others like them or not may in fact very much appreciate a sign of your acceptance. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Should you stick with what you know, or switch to the new way? That’s where you’ll come to today and both paths have pros and cons. Truthful testimonials and recommendations will help you decide. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Since what you say reflects what’s going on inside you, the way to say the right thing is to be the right thing. You may need to sort through feelings to get clarity. It will step up your conversational game. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The competitor with nothing to lose will surpass the one who has to make a strategic choice about what to risk – an important consideration in today’s proceedings. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): It’s the little ways a person shows you that he or she is paying attention that will go straight to your heart and turn someone into your favourite in an instant. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The best way is not to compare yourself to anyone. But since that’s also a very unrealistic expectation of yourself today, then at least compare yourself to an example that is both attainable and worthy of you. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): How can you make things clearer to the most people with the least amount of cost, trouble or time? The answer may be in a sign. A message for all to read saves you having to whisper to each person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’re always training people. Each interaction is a training. It never ends. Give a thought to what you’re teaching as you go about your day, specifically, how you’re teaching people to treat you. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’re handling a lot of responsibility today but you also needn’t take it so seriously. Keep your perspective and your humour and you’ll stay relaxed enough to handle anything that comes up. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Set an expectation early on about what you’d like to see happen. Otherwise, no one knows will know quite what to do you’ll wind up with all the frustrations of a cat-herder. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’ll have the pleasure of getting to know someone through teamwork on a project. It’s the best way and it will be a very accurate picture of what future work and play together will be like.

Tournament time

The winter football season may have finished a few weeks ago, but there’s been little time for rest for Mid Canterbury’s age group rep teams. That’s because five young Mid Canterbury teams are involved in South Island Football Championship tournaments during the current round of school holidays, including one being held in Ashburton. Ashburton is hosting the 15/17th grade tournament at the

Ashburton Domain, starting on Tuesday. A tournament traditionally played in Methven, an expected increase in entries this year resulted in the decision to move it to Ashburton. There are 10 teams entered, including a Mid Canterbury United side coached by Georgina Hemsley and Chris Lima, and it is one of four club teams from Mainland Football competitions that has entered. The remaining teams are coming from Southland, Central Ota-

go, South Canterbury, Nelson and two from Otago. “The first games will kick off at 9am on Tuesday, with Mid Canterbury United up against Otago Gold in game one. The first two days will be round robin play, before the tournament heads into finals on Thursday, where the main final is set to kick off at 2.30pm. Up the road in Rolleston, Mid Canterbury will have a 10th grade team in action. Rolleston is hosting the 10th grade festival – previously held

in Nelson – for the first time, and this season Mainland Football has opened up entries to not only districts, but also clubs. That’s meant almost 40 teams have entered the tournament. The 10th grade festival starts today and runs through until Sunday, and the Mid Canterbury team is coached by Mason McGrath. Mid Canterbury also has a 12th grade girls’ team coached by Jason Mattson and Brent Smith competing at a tournament in Blenheim, along with a Mid Can-

terbury club team of keen young girls aged nine to 13. That tournament kicked off yesterday and will run through until tomorrow. Mid Canterbury boys’ 12th grade team is also heading to Blenheim. The boys’ tournament starts on Thursday next week and runs through until Saturday. The Neil Simons-coached Mid Canterbury 15th grade boys are also already under way at their tournament in Dunedin, with that one set to wrap up on Saturday.
