Civic build back in council hands

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

IN TODAY’S GUARDIAN

The future of Ashburton’s new civic centre and library could be heading into murky water, with no clear land deals done on the Baring Square sites tagged for construction.

In June nine district councillors and Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel agreed the civic centre should be built on the first-choice site in Baring Square east.

This required land deals to be struck with the Methodist Church and private landowner Paul May.

That September 30 deadline has passed and with nothing signed off, councillors will head back into whereto-now discussions on Tuesday. This meeting will be closed to the public.

The original recommendation was that if the land needed had not been signed off by September 30, councillors would review all options for the project, including extending the purchase deadline.

Council business support group manager Paul Brake yesterday confirmed that there was “paperwork to

consider” in relation to the land deals, but said whether or not that paperwork was ticked off would be in the hands of councillors.

“The project control group will meet on Tuesday. They’ll review where we’re at and a recommendation will come to council. They will decide whether they want to proceed with this option or not,” he said.

Scammers at work

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton police are warning people to watch out for a phone scam which has claimed the money of three locals in the past two weeks.

Scammers are ringing up people to tell them that they are owed money. In order to claim the money, those people who have been rung must purchase iTunes vouchers and let scammers know the code.

It is understood the scammers operate under the guise of timeshare or preplanned holiday companies, and are targeting elderly people in particular.

Police advise people to report any incidents or suspected scams to Netsafe New Zealand at www.theorb.org.nz

Civic build back in council hands As the Burnett Street fire station undergoes its big revamp, contractors and fire volunteers have been working together to ensure no call-out is impeded.

Station revamp on track

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Excitement is growing for local volunteer firefighters as a brand new station takes shape in Burnett Street.

The upsized, upgraded station will accommodate the district’s recently merged rural and urban fire forces, who now operate under the title of Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ).

While the old Burnett Street station had enough room for the rural appliances to shift in, improved facilities were required to accommodate the 15 extra firefighters.

The new station will feature

improved earthquake safety and segregated “clean” and “dirty” areas, as well as revamped offices, bathrooms and meeting spaces.

Chief fire officer Alan Burgess said the building work had gone smoothly since kicking off at the end of August.

“Everything’s on target and the contractors are pretty happy with how it’s all going,” he said.

With “a fair amount” of demolishing, re-building, reroofing, and iron-cladding completed, he said things were well under way, and on track for completion by the end of the first week of December.

The new station would be up to IL4 for building standards, which is the level required for infrastructure that must be operational after a disaster.

Burgess said the construction work had not yet caused any logistical issues for firefighters racing to get out the door, with a temporary muster room set up behind the appliances.

“Essentially it’s been both a building site and a fire station, but everyone’s just trying to work together.”

He said the arrival of a large amount of steelwork would mean moving the appliances out of the way for some time

today. “But basically we’ve just been working with the contractor, doing what we can … and no real issues so far.”

Ashburton fire crews are some of the busiest in the country, attending more than 400 emergency call-outs a year.

The new station would be one of the first FENZ stations in the country.

Burgess said no plans had yet been made for the opening of the station, but he hoped to host some sort of public activity early next year.

“It would be nice to let the public come and look at the new place,” he said.

From P1 The project control group is now made up of all councillors. Previously councillors Neil Brown, Russell Ellis, Peter Reveley and mayor Favel were its members, but in May Reveley pushed for all councillors to be in the control group mix.

If the project was not ticked off on Tuesday or the September 30 deadline was not extended, then all site options could be back on the table. If it is ticked off then the group will need to work out details around conditions and time-frames, Brake said.

“At this stage we can’t discount anything. If they don’t want to agree to the deal that’s on the table, it’s up to them where they go from here.”

In June, the Baring Square site was supported by all councillors except Alasdair Urquhart, Mark Malcolm and Selwyn Price.

Baring Square east was identified as the preferred location for the new complex after extensive public consultation. At the 11th hour a pitch was made for a split site for the civic centre and library should be reconsidered, with Ashburton College land used for the library.

This option had previously been discounted by both the community and consultant Opus.

After further discussion, this was again discounted and the Baring Square east site became the final option.

Mt Hutt: Ski and spa without leaving the snow

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mt Hutt Skifield has just earned itself another record, this time as the site of New Zealand’s highest altitude spa.

A six-seater spa has been installed at the top of the Summit Six chairlift and at 2080 metres above sea level users can see all the way along the Southern Alps as well as across the plains to the Pacific Ocean.

The latest addition to the field’s amenities has already been a huge hit with guests, ski area manager James McKenzie said.

“This is a unique experience, and perfect for spring, when the feeling on mountain is way more relaxed; it’s not a bad way to warm up sore muscles after a few runs,” he said.

And it’s not just about views and warm water, the spa comes with all the bells and whistles, including bluetooth surround sound.

The 650kg pool was moved on site by Christchurch Helicopters and it came with the challenge of needing dry ground for its foundation.

And once installed the challenges didn’t stop, McKenzie said.

“We’ve already lost two covers due to wind and had to refill the

pool due to the wind lapping the water out.”

The spa idea was born after the Peak to Pub annual race with people suggesting it would be great to have a post-race spa, he said.

“It quickly elevated to an even loftier ambition, but that’s the way we roll at Mt Hutt!”

Guests book a time at the Mt Hutt administration office, take their togs and towel and change from ski gear to swim gear in a shed beside the pool.

Installing the spa was not without the odd problem because of the extreme weather conditions, said Alpine Spas director Simon Riddell.

This pool has withstood some of the harshest conditions in the country. Freezing temperatures, high winds and yet it has been ready to use at 40°C. “We have to acknowledge the great job Christchurch Helicopters did. They were absolute pros,” he said.

Mt Hutt is now staying open until October 15 providing extra opportunities to use the new spa.

It will be choppered off the mountain again at the end of the season and at this stage there are no plans to reinstall it next season.

Jobseekers eyeing Ashburton

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

When Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel went nationwide with her plea for people to move to Ashburton to fill job vacancies, the country responded.

After appearing on television on Wednesday, Favel offered her Facebook page as a contact point for both jobseekers and employers and the response, she said, had been huge.

“I’ve been getting quite a lot of inquiry, some from around New

Zealand and some from overseas.

There are quite a few items in my inbox; it’s all looking very positive,” she said.

A number of employment agencies have also linked to Favel’s page and while some are offering single jobs, at least one has more than 120 listings for vacancies in the district and another said its unfilled jobs topped 30 most days.

The hard-to-fill vacancies range from factories and trades to schools and the health sector.

There was one direct response

from an Auckland bricklayer wanting work, but there were also responses from people who challenged the job glut.

Several said they had applied for several jobs, but had been unsuccessful. Others said finding a job without any work experience was almost impossible.

For Ashburton recruitment business Personnel Placements, 2017 has been a big year. Job vacancies have been running at 30-plus and covered the full spectrum of work sectors, said recruitment agent

Jo Jamison. Filling vacancies was about more than simply putting people in jobs, however, she said.

“It’s about getting the people with the right skill set or transferable skills, it’s not just about putting bums on seats. It has to be the right fit, the right person for the right job.”

In spite of the large number of vacancies on the company’s books, Jamison agreed there were people who struggled to find work because they may not have any work experience or appropriate

qualifications. “But a lot of the time it does come down to how open people are. We always have temporary and seasonal work and while it may not be their ideal job, it’s something to keep them going. It gives them work experience and proves they’re reliable and will turn up each day.”

The company would register anyone looking for work – seasonal, temporary or permanent – she said, because there was always a revolving flow of vacancies coming in across all sectors.

Natives to bolster back country lakes

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A bold plan that could transform the landscape around Ashburton’s inland lakes was given the green light yesterday.

A management plan for lakes Clearwater and Camp that would ultimately see all introduced plantings removed and replaced by natives has been in the development and consultation phases for almost two years. Yesterday Ashburton District councillors agreed to adopt the plan and to establish a working group to oversee its implementation.

The plan was developed by Ashburton’s biodiversity group and involved considerable consultation with hutholders in the lakes settlement. Its primary focus is to preserve the natural landscape and biodiversity of the area while making provision for shelter and shade for recreational users.

Three rounds of community consultation were undertaken and most of those involved were adamant that trees providing shelter for campers should remain until alternative shelter was established.

The project is anticipated to cost about $150,000 over a 10-year pe-

riod. It came with a recommended planting plan, but several councillors believed the natives recommended would struggle to survive in the harsh lakes climate.

Government funds have already been used to removed large numbers of wilding pines from the area, but the trees targeted for removal by the council are shelterbelts.

In addition, the council has already been granted money from a tourism infrastructure fund to build a new toilet block along the northern side of Lake Camp.

Open spaces planner Bert Hofmans said the reaction from hutholders was mixed and, while many supported the new plantings, most were concerned about the loss of shelter. It is not intended to remove existing trees until their replacements are well established, he said.

“There are hutholders who don’t support the plan and hutholders who do.”

In terms of the species identified for the planting plan, professional advice had been sought, he said.

The plan would see mountain beech replace many of the existing shelter trees, under-planted with shrubby natives.

Somerset House evacuated

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Somerset House staff, diners, visitors and clients all experienced an abrupt disruption to their Thursdays when the fire alarm was set off.

The four-level Burnett Street building was evacuated at around 12.55pm following a “funny smell” and reports of smoke in the stairwells. Volunteer firefighters arrived promptly on the scene with

two fire engines, and gave the allclear at about 1.30pm.

An Ashburton Fire and Emergency spokesperson said someone had pulled the alarm after entering the stairwell and noticing the odd smell. There was no evidence of any electrical issues or fire, so the smell was most likely caused by cooking.

Nevertheless, firefighters said the individual who pulled the alarm had “done the right thing”.

More success for The Dubliner

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

The owners of The Dubliner are chuffed to add another accolade to their growing collection – this time acknowledging their service to the Methven community.

The Irish bar and restaurant claimed the title of the Bizbuzz Most Community Minded Business at the national David Awards on Wednesday.

The awards recognise “unsung small business heroes” throughout New Zealand, and the Bizbuzz Most Community Minded Business is presented to a business that visibly gives back to its community.

Gary Manning, who owns the restaurant with his wife Karen, said they were “very pleased” to

be acknowledged.

“We do our best to interact with the community, to be community-minded with fight nights and the likes, so it’s great,” he said.

Other finalists vying in the community category against The Dubliner included an Auckland gardening business, a Tauranga school and an Auckland consulting business.

Manning and his wife Karen hail from Ireland and launched the business in April, 2015, with the hope of recreating “a little piece of the homeland”.

“I don’t think we really did anything different from home,” Gary said.

“We just wanted to create a good vibe, a good atmosphere.”

Earlier this year The Dubliner was awarded a certificate of Excellence by TripAdvisor, after claiming the number one spot among 23 restaurants in Methven/Mt Hutt village.

The owners were also finalists in the Champion Canterbury Business Awards held on Wednesday night in Christchurch, alongside Mt Hutt Ski area.

Later this month Karen and Gary will also jet to Wellington to attend the Hospitality New Zealand Awards for Excellence in the Best Neighbourhood Bar and Eatery category.

Gary said the team was “very excited” about all the nominations.

“It’s been a bit of a whirlwind,” he added.

Creepy, crawly craft on agenda

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton Public Library thrived with arts and crafts action yesterday as youngsters fashioned their own creepy crawlies.

Dozens of school holiday-goers descended on the library to make their own “scary spider” or “beautiful butterfly”, using glitter, pens, pipe cleaners and other materials generously provided by library staff.

“It’s been very busy, really popular,” said children’s librarian Adrienne Moodie.

The Ashburton Public Library are also inviting young visitors to solve their Hidden Dragon Puzzle these holidays, from Wednesday to Friday next week.

■ SHOW REVIEW

Great night’s entertainment Disney Aristocats Kids and My Son Pinocchio Jr. Mid Canterbury Children’s Theatre Ashburton Trust Event Centre, October 6-8 Directed by Cherie Livingstone Musical Director Jo Castelow Choreographer Michelle SmithCopland As Walt Disney once said, “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”

Two shows in two hours provides the many local children involved in Mid Canterbury Children’s Theatre the opportunity to tread the boards and learn the art of stagecraft alongside their peers, while learning from each other.

For Aristocats, that means 40 children in the 30-minute show and after a 20-minute break, the 38 senior children have an hour to bring us the story of My Son Pinocchio.

The story of Aristocats sees Madame (Joelle Watson) take extremely good care of her four cats – Duchess (Tamsin Cartney), Toulouse (Liam Stoliker), Berlioz (Hunter Stacey) and Marie (Moana Moore) – who play their roles with aplomb.

Madam wishes to leave her fortune to the cats, much to disgust of her loyal butler, Edgar (Robert Stoliker) who portrays the compliant but “bad to the bone” butler extremely well.

With the butler planning to get rid of the cats to the country, in order to secure the fortune for himself, the plot then moves to the support the well-to-do cats need to get themselves back to Paris and home to Madam.

Along the way they encoun-

A simple set and clever staging help the young cast of Aristocats. ter the alley cats, led by Thomas O’Malley (Tom Patterson) who after initially despising the upperclass cats, form a bond in order to assist them back to safety.

A dog team (hunting for the butler) and a couple of gaggling geese become unlikely allies, and the butler is caught and the cats safely returned home, to where Madam takes the whole crew in.

The show-stealing helper is the house mouse Roquefort (Gus Watt) who plays cute and useful

very well. A simple set and clever staging help this young cast present a clear storyline throughout.

After a 20-minute break, the senior members take to the stage for the slightly adapted story of Pinocchio with a hint of steampunk costuming.

My Son Pinocchio sees Geppetto (Caleb Livingstone) grapple with the joys of parenthood and a son Pinocchio (Ollie Bubb) who doesn’t quite behave how he wishes.

PHOTO SUPPLIED

With support from the Blue Fairy (Ellie Lawn), she uses her magic to try and put Geppetto’s world to rights.

All three ably sing their musical numbers with just the right character for their roles.

Assisted by her fairy helpers (including Sue – the “wickedly” good fairy – well played by Brooke Miller), they set out to give Geppetto the experiences he needs to realise there is more to fatherhood than just having a good boy.

After losing Pinocchio to a maniacal puppeteer named Stromboli (Joe Danielson), Geppetto goes in search of his lost son and along the way encounters interesting characters in Idyllia (where he meets the professor (Josh Stoliker) and his impressive and well- acted assistant, Junior (Jazzie Christie) and then on to Pleasure Island.

After being shipped away from Pleasure Island, where naughty children are turned into donkeys to be put to work, Pinocchio jumps overboard, where he and Geppetto end up in the belly of a whale and put their relationship to rights.

The fairies then help finish Pinocchio’s transformation and Geppetto gets his son back.

Both shows make good use of a simple yet effective set and an especially clever use of marionette cables and internal whale lighting in My Son Pinocchio.

The costumes are fantastic in each show and clearly relate to the roles each character is playing.

Good diction and some wonderful lead-role singers help to weave the story in each show and simple movement means that actors and audience alike are not distracted and taken away from the story being told.

It’s a great night’s entertainment for young and old.

Well done to all involved and especially to the directorial team for the vision shown in presenting two shows (and not to forget the team of parents and helpers making it all happen behind the scenes).

Another great use of our wonderful event centre. reviewed by Brent Gray

NZ First yet to decide on party On his way to lunch with his MPs, Winston Peters said NZ First was yet to decide on its preferred governing framework.

Possible options open to the party include a full coalition inside Cabinet, a support agreement offering confidence and supply in return for some ministerial posts outside Cabinet, to sitting on the cross benches offering support on a case by case basis in return for minimal policy gains.

“Of course not. We haven’t had the talks yet,” Peters said when asked about a decision on a possible framework.

Peters recommitted to making a decision by next Thursday, and didn’t accept that timeline could be too short.

“You are the ones that want to have these things decided in five minutes... there is nothing about this programme that means we can’t complete it by the 12th.”

He said the short timeframe did not suggest NZ First was more likely to sit on the cross benches.

Peters will meet Labour leader Jacinda Ardern and her team about 2pm today, following a brief 30 minute meeting with National this morning.

Policy wasn’t discussed with National and wouldn’t be with Labour.

“I don’t hope to get anything [out of the meeting] other than the agreement on the protocol we will use to conduct these talks

Winston Peters when they are required,” Peters said.

“They are not complicated - do we agree to meet at a certain place on each occasion? Do we agree that we will have changed teams, depending on the subject matter?

“Do we agree that these talks are confidential... where the media are concerned as well, or we may as well hire the Westpac Stadium and turn on the lights and turn on the loudspeakers and just go for it. Now, we are not going to have that sort of circus.”

Peters said the counting of special votes on Saturday was crucial, but even when that was done there could be uncertainty.

“The logistics of getting all those numbers counted may not happen - they [the Electoral Commission] may ask for a 24 hour extension.”

Well-known artist sentenced on sex charges A well-known artist who raped teenagers at an Auckland studio had worked at the Louvre and had a personal exhibition at one of New Zealand’s largest museums, it had been revealed.

Chao-Li Tseng, 50, was sentenced yesterday to 16 years’ imprisonment, with a minimum non-parole period of eight years.

Tseng was found guilty by a jury, of 17 sex charges against four women after a nearly three-week trial during August and September in the Auckland District Court.

The judge said Tseng “let himself down in an appalling way” for someone previously held in high regard by the arts community and showed “clear premeditation” in his offending.

There were also clear elements that Tseng was grooming the teenagers, Judge Gibson said.

All his victims were aged 14 to 18 when the offending occurred at the studio during 2014 and 2015.

Judge Gibson suppressed the name of the business, but said he had to take in to account that the offending took place at the studio.

Tseng has not been involved in the running of the business for the past two years due to the police investigation and trial.

Until yesterday Tseng’s identity and career achievements had been suppressed by court order, but it can now be revealed that he is a prolific and award-winning painter who worked at the famous Paris museums, the Louvre and Musee d’Orsay.

Tseng’s lawyer Phil Hamlin agreed with Judge Gibson that his client had “no basis” for continued name suppression.

Tseng, who is fluent in French and Mandarin, moved to New Zealand in 2010 to teach painting, and live a quiet and peaceful life with his wife, he said in a translated interview.

The court heard today the Tseng has begun learning English to help him during his period of incarceration.

In October 2014 an exhibition, “La Parole Du Coeur”, was held in the Auckland War Memorial Museum for 40 of Tseng’s oil paintings.

According to online articles about the

Chao-Li Tseng painter, Tseng was hailed as an artistic genius when he was a boy and won an international children’s painting competition at 7.

He was also awarded first place in the Taiwan National University Entrance Fine Art Competition in 1987 and admitted by the Faculty of Arts at Taiwan Catholic Fu-Jen University.

In 1989 he won first prize in the Taipei County Fine Arts Competition in water colour paintings.

After moving to Paris in 1993 to study and research art he continued to win awards.

He was made a permanent member of the Societe des Artistes Francais (The French Artists’ Association) and was presented with a silver medal for one of his works by the French Ministry of Culture.

However, Tseng dramatically fell from grace after being charged with six counts of rape, five of indecent assault, five of unlawful sexual connection, and two of sexual connection with a young person.

He was found not guilty of one count of an indecent act.

The jury also heard that Tseng told the teenagers to “pretend that nothing had happened” when they left the studio and “not to tell anyone or he would go to jail”.

Hamlin said his client was well aware he will be deported back to Taiwan at the conclusion of his sentence.

CTV investigation in final stages – police A “finely balanced” investigation into the collapse of the CTV building during the 2011 earthquake in Christchurch is into its final stages, but police remain tight-lipped on whether they will press charges.

The six-storey building collapsed and caught fire after the magnitude 6.3 quake struck on February 22, claiming the lives of 115 people inside, including 65 foreign students.

Police legal teams will now take several weeks to analyse their investigation file and two legal reviews by Crown Law and the Christchurch Crown Solicitor.

It is only after careful consideration of these will any decision be made on

whether to prosecute or not, Detective Superintendent Peter Read said yesterday.

“As we have previously stated this has been a very complex, technical investigation involving a range of expert advice to consider,” he said.

“While police are unable to pre-empt what the decision will be at this time, we can say that the issues before us are finely balanced.”

He said police were “acutely aware of the length of time” the investigation was taking and appreciated the patience of the families of the victims.

I

t’s time we gave more young people a chance.

And, heaven forbid, that might mean going back to the future in terms of giving them a way in when it comes to joining the workforce.

On Wednesday I was at the launch of a new dairy sector apprenticeship programme at the New Zealand Young Farmers’ headquarters in Templeton.

The initiative is a joint effort from Federated Farmers and Primary ITO. It’s an attempt to get more young New Zealanders into an industry that has become increasingly reliant on migrant labour.

While I was listening to speakers at the launch I got to thinking “whatever happened to apprenticeships?”

Back in the day they were a relatively common way for people to get into the workforce.

They seemed to work for the employer and the employee alike, but you don’t hear much about them these days.

I’m not sure why that is. They are still available but they seem to have gone out of fashion.

Instead, we’ve have a mad rush of people wanting to, or at least believing they should, go to university and get a degree.

I’m hoping that trend is going to be just that – and that it will pass.

Globally there is a growing movement for people to learn job-related skills outside formal education programmes.

That might be through things like apprenticeships, or it might be through short courses done while people are already in a job.

It was heartening last week to see a group of about 100 New Zealand businesses, and some of them major players, including Spark, Fonterra, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare and Microsoft, calling for an end to the sometimes blinkered focus on gaining a tertiary qualification.

Under the banner NZ Talent – Educate for the Future, they noted that while tertiary education has its place, it is only one of many pathways to employment.

Others include internships, apprenticeships, on-the-job training and online courses.

It’s hard to disagree with their statement that, for many, the time and cost of getting a tertiary qualification without certainty of employment means we all need to think outside the box to connect people to jobs and opportunities.

YOUR VIEW Don’t forget young people With publicity about the number of jobs available in Ashburton, I would like to highlight to prospective employers that our young people in Ashburton District need the opportunity to maximise their potential.

When an employer invests in young, locally-grown talent this can have a triple bottom line – the business wins, the individual wins and the community wins.

Employers are looking for certain competencies, but some onthe-job training of a young person may pay dividends in helping them find that loyal, reliable and competent person for their work force.

It’s a sad week in my household M

anda and I sat gobsmacked watching Fox News as the Las Vegas shooting unfolded.

Their coverage was top drawer.

They had a journo on the ground who talked with survivors and first responders with caring and compassion while delivering an unbelievable insight to what had just happened metres away.

When the death toll was sitting at two he spoke to a fireman, who was in Vegas to celebrate a birthday with friends.

After getting his wife and friends to safety, he had gone back into the danger zone to help people.

He said he pronounced at least 20 people dead.

I know The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

But this document is over 200 years old and surely needs to be revisited?

If something doesn’t change

with the American gun laws and psyche then we are surely going to see more horrific events like Vegas happen in the future.

Just as I was getting my head around the shooting spree, another sad news release slapped me across the face.

Tom Petty was rushed to hospital in full cardiac arrest.

Unlike Fox New’s coverage of Vegas, the media reports on Petty’s passing was a mess. He’s dead, no wait, he’s hanging in there, no he’s gone.

He deserved much better than that! He is, after all, one of the top classic rock artists of all time. The 2002 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee sold over 80 million albums over a 40plus year career.

Stats peg Petty as the fifth-

most-played classic rock artist on US Radio, behind Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd.

On average, one of every 40 classic rock songs played on the radio is a Petty song.

Some fast facts about Tom Petty: ■ Born October 20, 1950, in Gainesville, Florida ■ A childhood handshake from Elvis Presley inspired him to become a musician.

■ The Heartbreakers’ first album came out in 1976, but it was their third album, Damn the Torpedoes which made them stars, with the songs Refugee and Don’t Do Me Like That.

■ He severely broke his left hand by punching a wall in frustration during the recording of 1985’s Southern Accents.

■ He called his music “just rock, and we don’t put no other name on it other than that”.

■ Hit #3 with his 1981 Stevie Nicks duet Stop Draggin’ My

Heart Around.

Recorded two albums with supergroup The Traveling Wilburys, also featuring Roy Orbison (Vol. 1), George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne. Petty’s alter-egos in that band were Charlie T. Wilbury Jr and Muddy Wilbury.

Lynne went on to produce Petty’s most successful record, the solo album Full Moon Fever in 1989.

His final album with the Heartbreakers was 2014’s Hypnotic Eye. It was also his first #1.

The big guy upstairs is certainly putting together a pretty impressive concert line-up.

Shooter ‘not alone’ The sheriff leading the investigation into the Las Vegas shooting believes the gunman was not acting alone and that he most likely had an accomplice.

Speaking to reporters yesterday, sheriff Joseph Lombardo said “he had to have some help”.

Lombardo said investigators did not have any other suspects at this stage, but they were “determined to find out if there was”.

“You look at the weapon obtaining, the different amounts of Tannerite [explosives] available, do you think this was all accomplished on his own?

“On face value, you’ve got to make the assumption he had to have some help at some point, and we want to ensure that that’s the answer.”

Lombardo’s frank comments put into doubt an explanation previously put forward by authorities that he was a “lone wolf”.

In explaining his theory, the sheriff mentioned Paddock’s arsenal of 47 guns and a “plethora” of ammunition, plus his two Nevada residences.

He also made mention of his girlfriend, former Australian resident Marilou Danley, who has been named as a “person of interest” in the investigation.

“Maybe he’s a super guy that was working this all out on his own, but it would be hard for me to believe that,” the sheriff said.

“Here’s the reason why: Put two and two together.

“Another residence in Reno with several firearms, electronics and everything else associated with large amounts of ammo, a place in Mesquite, we know that he had a girlfriend.

Aussie radio host Em Rusciano has been busted giving her boss an almighty spray.

The breakfast host apologised on air yesterday after a heated discussion with her content director, Jase Allen, was accidentally published on the show. In a video featuring co-host Harley Breen demonstrating how he uses a $20 note to pick his teeth, Rusciano can be overheard complaining to her boss that one of her assistant producers was yawning in the background of a previous video. “When Harley’s being funny you don’t want a staff member yawning in the background,” Rusciano yells. “I don’t give a f**k if you think I’m funny or not, mate!”

Miley just isn’t Miley

“Do you think this is all selffacing? An individual, without talking to somebody, just sequestered among themselves?

“I mean, come on folks.”

Federal Bureau of Investiga-

tion special agent in charge Aaron Rouse confirmed that Danley had been interviewed after she flew into Los Angeles from the Philippines but she is not in police custody.

Singer Miley Cyrus has revealed her real name in an interview with Howard Stern this week. She told Stern that her birth name is Destiny Hope, but her father called her Miley because she was “always smiling”, and the nickname stuck. It’s not the first time Miley’s revealed her real name but fans who weren’t in the know previously are losing their minds over the news. Changing your name for stardom appears to be a fairly common thing.

Meghan Markle’s real name is actually Rachel, the same name as her character in hit TV series Suits. Storm Keating, wife of Ronan, is another public figure who chooses to use her middle name, having being born Sharyn Storm Uechtritz.

Santa is dead, archaeologists claim First the good news.

Whoever told you that Santa Claus was an impostor with a fake beard collecting a Christmastime cheque at the mall or a lie cooked up by your parents to trick you into five minutes of quiet was, at minimum, misinformed.

The bad news: Santa Claus is definitely dead.

Archaeologists in southern Turkey say they have discovered the tomb of the original Santa Claus, also known as St. Nicholas, beneath his namesake church near the Mediterranean Sea. Saint Nicholas of Myra (now Demre) was known for his giftgiving and generosity. People believed he’d put coins in the shoes of anyone who left them out for him on December 6.

He’s also a patron saint of sailors and was, of course, especially fond of children.

There’s one slightly bizarre story, more Halloween than Christmas, of St. Nicholas saving three children who had been “lured into the clutches of an evil butcher.”

He was so popular that he survived the Protestant Reformation, “when the veneration of saints began to be discouraged.”

It wasn’t until the 16th century that St. Nicholas began to take on his modern, candycane-hued form in images and imaginations. In Europe, he became known as Father Christmas.

He migrated to the Americas with the Dutch, who called him “Sinterklass” and gathered

every year on the anniversary of his death. Now, Santa is all but entrenched in the Christmas lexicon, the rosy-cheeked face of Christmas who is the subject of movies, perennial parental lies and debates about materialism.

Through it all, the remains of the real-life St. Nicholas were apparently the subject of a centuries-old case of mistaken identity and grave robbery.

According to the Telegraph, St. Nicholas died in AD 343 and was interred at St. Nicholas church in Demre.

In 1087, apparently, merchants dug up his bones and smuggled them to the Italian city of Bari. It’s still a holy site, visited by Christians paying homage to St. Nicholas.

But archaeologists say pil-

grims to the Basilica di San Nicola are praying to the wrong guy. The bones belong to another local priest, not one of the most famous saints.

Archaeologists conducting in Demre found gaps beneath it. The shrine, they say, is underneath the church and untouched.

“We believe this shrine has not been damaged at all, but it is quite difficult to get to it as there are mosaics on the floor,” Cemil Karabayram, head of Antalya’s Monument Authority, said.

Karabayram is confident that archaeologists can reach the tomb. At that point, he believes, nearly 1700 years after St. Nicholas died, he’ll give another gift to the people of Demre: Tourism dollars. - PA

Age gap getting wider Hollywood A-lister Tom Cruise gets older with each passing year - but his leading ladies stay exactly the same age.

It’s a phenomenon tracked by movie industry website Film School Rejects in a new article tracking Cruise’s career – complete with a Google Doc showing that as Cruise gets older, the age gap widens between he and his big screen female (and often romantic) leads. At 55, Cruise may be well into middle age, but if this trend continues, his leading ladies will stay at around 30 years old for many years to come.

Govt surplus higher than predicted

By Paul McBeth

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

economy as well as a better-thanexpected earnings season.

The top performing stocks for the quarter were a2 Milk and Synlait Milk, up 60.8 per cent and 56.4 per cent respectively. Both benefited from positive earnings as well as news from Chinese regulators that a2 infant formula is allowed to be exported into the country.

Metro Performance Glass and Sky TV were the two biggest decliners down, 27.5 per cent and 21.7 per cent respectively for the quarter. Both of these companies were punished over reporting season for giving weaker outlooks.

Locally, the biggest event on the economic calendar was the General Election, held on September 23.

The outcome was as expected with National getting the largest number of party votes, but not enough to govern alone.

This left Winston Peters the king or queen-maker. But, in true Winston style he was not to be rushed. Peters would not make a final decision until special votes were counted and results were official.

We are now expecting an announcement to be made in the coming week.

As seen by the solid gains from September, when the NZX50 gained 1.4 per cent, the market shrugged off political uncertainty, although trading for this period was lighter than usual.

The Reserve Bank of New

Zealand kept rates on hold during the quarter, as Graeme Wheeler stepped down from the role.

Grant Spencer is the interim governor, however, a permanent appointment will be made in March next year.

There is plenty to look forward to this quarter, with central banks across the globe contemplating reversing the massive quantitative easing (QE) programmes they started during the Global Financial Crisis.

The US Federal Reserve looks to be the first off the mark, outlining a plan to begin the reversal of its $US4.5 trillion balance sheet this year. QE was experimental and reversing it will be as well, so we are unsure on the reaction markets will have, although we are likely to see rising interest rates. However, the unknown certainly makes us cautious and we will be watching the great reversal with interest.

The December quarter is traditionally the strongest of the year, averaging a return of 4.1 per cent for the S&P500 since 1950 and it is certainly off to a strong start, setting more record highs during the week.

Third quarter global reporting season gets under way soon, and markets will be hoping for another strong showing to help justify current valuations.

The Spanish situation will continue to evolve in Europe, as Catalonia looks to annex itself.

North Korea remains on the radar as a risk, although recently, things have been quiet on that front with US president Donald Trump busy elsewhere.

his week marked the start of the final quarter of the year, which gives us a good chance to review how markets have performed for the year thus far and check what is still to come.

September is traditionally the worst quarter of the year for equities, with the average return for the S&P 500 since 1950 coming in at just 0.5 per cent.

However, this year certainly bucked the usual seasonal trend and markets finished higher. The S&P 500 returned 4.0 per cent for the period and set a fresh record high, as did the other indexes in the US. The US market was boosted by yet another solid earnings season together with talks of possible tax reform later in the quarter.

The Australian index bucked the global trend for the quarter, falling 0.7 per cent. Earnings season was lacklustre in the region, while a dysfunctional political environment continues to affect sentiment. The index is dominated by a few sectors, like banks, which continue to face regulatory uncertainty.

The FTSE 100 in the UK eked out a 0.8 per cent gain for the quarter, with September paring back solid gains from August and July. The British pound rebounded during the month which dragged on the multi-national heavy index. The Stoxx 600 panEuropean index gained 2.3 per cent for the quarter, boosted by a strong September.

The NZX 50 also had a strong performance in the third quarter, finishing 4.2 per cent higher.

This was the third consecutive quarter of gains for the index, and saw it hit record highs during the period.

billion, some $502 million below the prefu forecast due to some spending being put off for later years.

“The 2016/17 crown accounts are a direct demonstration of the benefits of a steadily growing New Zealand economy,” Finance Minister Steven Joyce said in his ministerial statement to the accounts.

8/9

The New Zealand government’s annual operating surplus was a little bigger than projected in the pre-election forecast as fatter corporate profits helped swell the Crown’s tax take and as some spending was put off.

The operating balance before gains and losses (obegal) was a surplus of $4.07 billion in the 12 months ended June 30, ahead of the $3.71 billion forecast in the pre-election fiscal and economic update, and widening from $1.83 billion a year earlier.

Core Crown tax revenue was largely in line with the prefu projection, rising 7.4 per cent to $75.64 billion.

That was bolstered by a 12 per cent gain in corporate taxation driven by higher company profits across most sectors, although the finance and insurance industries were singled out as making substantial contributions.

Core Crown expenses rose a more modest 3.3 per cent to $76.34

Joyce didn’t appear at yesterday’s briefing on the accounts while a caretaker government operates, and Treasury secretary Gabriel Makhlouf confirmed his department had provided factual information about costings to parties.

The delayed spending helped deliver a bigger-than-expected residual cash surplus of $2.57 billion, and compared to a deficit of $1.32 billion a year earlier.

That helped push down net debt to $59.48 billion, or 22.2 per cent of gross domestic product, from $61.88 billion, or 24.4 per cent of GDP, a year earlier.

The Crown’s operating balance, which includes movements in the government’s financial assets, was a surplus of $12.32 billion, turning around a deficit of $5.37 billion a year earlier.

That was bolstered by a $5.5 billion gain in the value of the New Zealand Superannuation Fund.

The net worth of the Crown rose to $110.53 billion from $89.37 billion a year earlier.

Pulled pomegranate and mint lamb

then pour 200ml water around the lamb. Cover and place in the oven to slow-cook for 3 1/2 hours. Remove, cover and continue cooking lamb for a further 30 minutes until the meat is almost falling off the bone.

■ To serve: Place lamb on a warm serving platter and cover loosely with foil and a clean tea towel. Strain cooking juices into a saucepan and skim away any fat with a large spoon. Boil to

reduce the sauce, then whisk in the thickening paste.

■ Cook until the sauce is syrupy and taste for seasoning. If tart, add salt to balance flavour, then pour into a sauce jug. Remove cover from lamb and scatter over pomegranate seeds and fresh mint.

Trailblazer SUV a win-win D

etails of the new Holden Trailblazer have been released, with fans of the large sevenseat Sport Utility Vehicle receiving two pieces of fantastic

news.

Not only has specification been increased significantly, but the price of the new model has been reduced.

“This is a win-win situation for our customers, one which has resulted in increased specification but a decrease in price,” said the Managing Director of Holden New Zealand, Kristian Aquilina.

“This will help position the new Trailblazer as not only the newest large SUV in the market, but also one of the most attainable.”

The price of the new Holden Trailblazer LTZ is $62,990 (+ORC), which represents a $4,000 reduction compared with the outgoing model.

However, when extra specification is considered, the overall value equation increases to a net gain for enthusiasts of more than $7000.

Trailblazer debuts with a sophisticated new look, advanced vehicle and connectivity technology, the use of premium materials and a fresh design throughout.

“Trailblazer will be sure to challenge the 4x4 SUV market, thanks to its significant engineering, feature and design upgrades, combined with competitive pricing,” said Mr Aquilina.

Awarded a five star ANCAP safety rating, Trailblazer offers an array of active and passive safety features including additional driver’s knee airbag, Hill Start Assist, Trailer Sway Control and Hill Descent Control.

The addition of Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert to the LTZ

model contribute considerably to the overall safety story.

The exterior of the vehicle has received a revised bonnet and now features headlamps with LED daylight running lights, a new front fascia and upper grille, but the biggest changes are on the inside.

The interior has been afforded a full

rejuvenation and is now more car-like in appearance and features a new MyLink system, while an 8-inch screen with integrated sat-nav completes the look of the LTZ. Developed in collaboration between Holden and GM Brazil and alongside the acclaimed 2017 Holden Colorado, Trailblazer blends 4x4 capability with refined and confident on-road performance.

The extensive engineering improvements include a revised steering calibration, co-developed between Holden and Brazilian engineers providing a more precise steering feel thanks to a faster steering rack ratio and less turns lock-to-lock.

Other key developments in Trailblazer’s chassis include a revised set of engine, transmission and body mounts to provide a more refined and composed ride which will improve drive quality, particularly while towing.

Driver confidence is furthered with the variable steering efforts in Trailblazer’s Electric Power Steering system, allowing it to handle more nimbly and drive like a car.

The Trailblazer LTZ features a 2.8-litre Duramax diesel engine, delivering 147kW of power combined with 500Nm of torque in the automatic model.

It features a 6-speed automatic transmission with Shift-on-the-Fly 4WD and is capable of towing a braked weight of 3000kg.

New look on the mountain T o celebrate its partnership with BIG4 Holiday Parks, Nissan has revealed a striking livery that will debut at this week’s Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.

The one-off BIG4 paintwork will feature on the #23 Nissan NISMO entry of Michael Caruso and Dean Fiore, as the endurance pairing tackle the biggest race of the season for the fourth successive year.

“I think the BIG4 Nissan looks great, to be able to bring partnerships to life at the track is exciting,” said Supercars driver Michael Caruso.

“It’s also a lot of fun to show off a new looking car, and it doesn’t get much bigger than Bathurst. The whole nation is watching.

“I hope everyone gets behind us this weekend, we’ll be working hard for a great result on and off the track.”

The BIG4 Holiday Parks livery will make its debut today when Caruso and the Nissan squad begin practice ahead of Sunday’s 161 lap race.

“Bathurst is the biggest event of the year, it’s the race every driver wants to win,” said Caruso.

“We’ve had a bit of a rough season so far, but Bathurst is a long race and anything can happen. It presents the perfect opportunity to turn it all around.

“Entering our fourth Bathurst as teammates, Dean (Fiore) and I know each other really well. We believe that continuity will pay dividends.”

Before the lights turn green this weekend, Caruso and Fiore will carry on Nissan Motorsport’s annual Bathurst road trip tradition, departing from Melbourne BIG4 Holiday Park in Coburg – one of the company’s most popular Melbourne-based holiday parks – in a Nissan Pathfinder.

The NISMO pairing will then stop off at BIG4 Wangaratta North Cedars Holiday Park and BIG4 Wagga Wagga before spending the night at BIG4 Bathurst Panorama Holiday Park.

They will be the first Supercars drivers to arrive at Mount Panorama.

“Driving up to Bathurst is an important part of our race preparation,” said Caruso.

“The road trip gives you time to settle your thoughts and appreciate what you’re about to embark upon.

“Todd and Rick Kelly always enjoyed the drive.

“To be able to do this with Deano, and stop at some BIG4 holiday parks along the way, is something pretty special.

“I’m sure there’ll be some people roughing it at the top of the mountain that wouldn’t mind enjoying the amenities they offer at BIG4.”

In good news for the sport, it has been confirmed that all teams will use 2016 compound Dunlop tyres at Bathurst.

This has been welcomed

by Caruso, who suffered a tyre failure at the recent Sandown 500.

“The tyre performed well at Bathurst last year, so we’re confident we’ll have a good run this weekend,” said Caruso.

“We’ve had some issues with the new compound tyre this season, and this has definitely hurt us more than other teams, so we’re approaching Bathurst this time round full of optimism.”

When gifts just land

M

ay I begin by saying thank you?

Thank you to the very kind person who left some interesting motoring books at our front door recently.

If it was you and if you are reading this please contact me (308-3999).

The books include the story of the Ford dynasty, a catalogue of new models introduced in 1927, a history of cars and Small Cars in New Zealand – a book written by the late Tim Chadwick.

Some time ago I borrowed the latter book from our wonderful local library and ironically thoughts had gone through one’s mind of borrowing it again.

The reason being it’s a fascinating book, which includes references to many cars which bring back memories, two in particular which have special significance.

So seeing this book among the others on the doorstep was a very pleasant surprise.

Earlier in the year we were delighted when Sister Annette shared a childhood memory of seeing and always remembering a Triumph Mayflower.

There is a photograph of a Mayflower in the book and the description echoes the style described by Sister Annette.

At the time Jenny Heath also shared a

Triumph Mayflower thought with us.

In Jenny’s case it was not a memory but in fact the knowledge she was brought home just days old from the maternity hospital in a Mayflower.

Just recently – ironically on the same day the book arrived on the doorstep – Jenny

showed us photographic proof of her childhood experience in a Mayflower.

To avoid the risk of being thought to be asking a lady’s age, we haven’t enquired when the photo was taken.

Jenny looks quite young, so we are as-

suming her parents had owned the car for a long while at the time!

There is another car in the book which provides fascination for this writer.

It’s a Honda Life.

Not many of this model ever came to New Zealand; there are maybe just three in the country.

Thirty six years ago almost to the day this writer, knowing the rarity of the model, was intrigued to see one of these cars and meet its owner on Norfolk Island.

The owner was a New Zealander who often visited the island and used the little car when he was there.

After seeing the car featured in Tim’s book I contacted the author prior to his untimely passing and mentioned I had seen a similar car on Norfolk Island.

Tim responded by saying no it wasn’t a similar car, it’s the same car the owner had brought to New Zealand.

It’s now owned by a friend in the North Island.

During our time on Norfolk Island all those years ago we had a fabulous little

Bernard Egan MOTORING

Subaru rental car, which we hired from a garage proprietor who at the time had family connections in Ashburton.

When I told Tim Chadwick about this he was quite fascinated, because he had been to Norfolk Island two weeks after us and hired the same car we had driven.

Small world!

And small cars!

The late Tim Chadwick, who came from a family involved in the motor industry, regularly wrote articles for several motoring publications and was the author of a dozen books.

A teacher and avid historian, he once led a campaign to prevent the demolition of an historic house to make way for a fast food outlet.

In association with New Zealand Post he produced a limited edition – and now sought after – postage stamp featuring a Volkswagen.

Having the chance to read Tim’s book again is bringing back many pleasant memories, including the though of being

on your doorstep

Jenny Heath in the Mayflower.

so glad to have had contact with him.

So again thank you to whoever it was who dropped off that and the other books.

I have another thank you.

This time on behalf of sub-editor Steve and myself.

We are grateful to our colleague and

fellow Guardian Motoring team member Roger Hart.

Last week Roger was test-driving the new Honda Civil R and he made time to take us for a ride.

Won’t attempt to pre-empt anything Roger is likely to say except – WOW what a car!

It’s interesting that as well as being members of the motoring team we have other things in common, one being we each have or have had Hondas in our garages.

At various times in their lives Roger’s daughters have each owned Hondas.

Steve has had three – including his current fabulous S2000 – all silver and all two door.

The writer has also owned Hondas and always likes driving what he considers to be a rather special 1996 red Civic owned by one who should be obeyed. (And most times is!)

Someone once said books can be reminders of life.

The books which arrived on our doorstep certainly are and Small Cars in New Zealand is also a reminder of a special little Honda Life.

It’s also a reminder of the contribution the late Tim Chadwick made to the history of New Zealand motoring during his life time.

Honda Life

P

roduced in the early 1970s, the Honda Life was one of a range of micro cars produced by Honda.

Powered by a 356cc twin-cylinder four-stoke water-cooled motor, the Life was available in both two and four door form.

The model was not marketed new in this country; the few models which are here have been privately imported.

Honda re-introduced the name Life on another model in recent years.

Back in the late 60s and early 70s Honda did sell some of their small cars in New Zealand, including the N360 and N600, which had air cooled motors.

Triton GLX-R 2WD Manual $29,990 SAVE $15,500

Everything you need to get the hard jobs done is on board Triton GLX-R. There’s 3 tonne towing and a reversing camera to make hooking up the trailer easy. It’s safe as houses with 7 airbags, advanced traction and stability systems. It’s got the comfort you look forward to when the day’s done, thanks to air con, cruise control, BluetoothTM and a very comfortable, spacious interior. With 17” alloy rims, it’s got the looks to match its muscle. The price is pretty attractive too, but only for a limited number - Christchurch Mitsubishi have a selection or pre-reg Triton GLX-R available to driveaway now.

■ RICCARTON

In brief

Cuneen reunited with star Racha Cuneen has moved from standby jockey into the prime seat as he reunites with Group One winner La Diosa at Riccarton tomorrow.

Cuneen was La Diosa’s regular rider during her successful spring campaign last year, culminating in the pair combining for their first Group One win in the NZ 1000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton.

That was Cuneen’s last raceday ride on La Diosa, as the daughter of So You Think then trekked to Sydney during the autumn and was ridden by Jason Collett when she won the first of her four starts, the Gr.2 Surround Stakes (1400m).

Cuneen went on to win another Group One, the Telegraph Handicap (1200m) on Signify, then decided to try his luck on the Gold Coast leaving the mount on La Diosa this campaign to be picked up by last season’s champion jockey Chris Johnson, who has ridden her in two trials and was booked for her planned fresh-up run at Riccarton a fortnight ago.

A wet track resulted in La Diosa’s withdrawal from that open sprint won by Maybe Miami (a race rival again on Saturday) and instead trainers Mandy and Matt Brown have targeted the Coupland’s Bakeries Mile Prelude (1400m) as the kick-off.

That decision left the way clear for Cuneen to be reunited with the top-class mare.

“Chris has gone for Son Of Maher so Racha gets back on her,” Matt Brown said.

“It’s worked out well for Racha. He has been coming out and riding some work for us and he rode her in work this morning (yesterday) and was very pleased with her. He says she feels much stronger.”

Cuneen came to New Zealand for that last Riccarton meeting on September 23 and, after a brief trip back to Brisbane, he is now basing himself in the south

Ashburton Guardian 23

Prom Queen on track The fleet-footed Prom Queen is on track to head south for the $50,000 Barnswood Farm Stakes at Ashburton on October 21. The daughter of Super Easy will be chasing her sixth win in succession when she tackles the 1400-metre feature which is building up to be a thrilling contest. As part of her preparation, Prom Queen did an exhibition gallop with Sharp Proposition between races on her home track on Wednesday and hit out nicely without being pressured by rider Alysha Collett. “She had a bit of a blow afterward so she’ll be improved. It’s going to be a very strong field at Ashburton.” - NZME

Relaxing in Melbourne Not only does Hugh Bowman think Winx is more comfortable racing the Melbourne way of going, the jockey and her trainer Chris Waller believe the champion mare is also more relaxed in her Flemington surrounds. Bowman takes that as a good sign for tomorrow’s Turnbull Stakes, the mare’s first Melbourne start since last year’s Cox Plate which she won by a record margin.

Winx is the short-priced favourite to extend her winning streak to 21 in the Turnbull.

for the next month or so.

“He plans to ride through to (NZ) Cup week then may go back to Brisbane,” Brown said.

“It’s good to have him back for now. He knows the mare so well.”

After withdrawing La Diosa from her planned engagement last month, the Browns opted to start her at the Rangiora trials a few days later and she ran a quiet second to Aspen Lass over 1150 metres.

“She trialled well and we’re more than happy with her,” Brown said.

“She’s ready to run a big race on Saturday. “The track is at a Dead 4

at the moment and it could come back. It should be ideal for her.”

La Diosa is being set for the Gr.2 Coupland’s Bakeries Mile on November 15 and through Saturday’s race in good order she will round off her preparation with a start in the Coupland’s Bakeries Mile Trial (1400m) back at Riccarton on October 28.

The Browns will also be represented in another of the main events on Saturday, the Inglewood Stud Guineas Trial.

Their hopes rest with the maiden River Run, a son of Pour Moi who is nominated for the Gr.1 Al

Basti Equiworld NZ 2000 Guineas.

River Run recorded two wins and a third in his first three trials then ran eighth in his only start behind stablemate Greenpark Gem at Riccarton last month.

Since then he has finished third in a Rangiora trial.

“He’s a horse we’ve always had a lot of time for, but he’s a wee bit immature,” Brown said.

“This will be a chance to see how he performs against some good ones.

“It’s a bit or trial and error with him.”

Shark expected to maul sprint rivals

By AdAm HAmilton

Chris Alford and Lennytheshark in winning form.

Driver Chris Alford expects champion pacer Lennytheshark to win tonight’s $50,000 Group 2 Smoken Up Sprint (1720m) at Melton.

David Aiken’s stable star is first-up since a brave fourth in the Group 1 Blacks A Fake at Albion Park in July.

But Alford said he’s primed and the wide barrier draw (gate seven) is no major hurdle.

“A lot’s been said about his trial last week when It Is Billy ran past him, but he didn’t have his shades on, it was daytime and I didn’t ask much of him at all. It was a trial, not a race and they still went a 1min53sec mile,” Alford said.

“It’ll be a different Lenny this week.

“Shades on, under lights and he’s

back at the races. I think he’ll win.”

Alford thinks Lennytheshark will work across from the wide draw at the start and quickly land outside the likely early leader, Yayas Hot Spot.

“If we get across quickly enough, I’ll have a look for the lead, but if I’ve got to sit parked then so be it,” he said.

The Aussie TAB has opened Lennytheshark a $1.90 favourite.

Tim Butt’s star My Field Marshal will need luck from a back row draw (gate 10) in the 1720m scamper.

In other news, trainer Kevin Pizzuto has opted for a trial rather than a race with ex-Mid Canterbury horse Tiger Tara ahead of the Victoria Cup. Tiger Tara will go first-up into the $200,000 Group 1 Victoria Cup on Saturday week.

Some insight from Te Akau Racing’s leading Singapore trainer Mark Walker has added further confidence in the camp as Gingernuts prepares to take on the Livamol Classic and Caulfield Cup. Gingernuts is the raging hot favourite for the Livamol Classic at Hastings after his last-start win in the Windsor Park Plate and the son of Iffraaj is poised to line up a fortnight later in the Caulfield Cup. His performance in the Windsor Park Plate has punters confident he can leave New Zealand in winning form. - NZME

Aussie trip looming An Australian campaign beckons Von Tunzelman if he shapes up well at Te Rapa today. A wet track saw Von Tunzelman withdrawn from the Taranaki meeting last weekend, but he is poised to compete in the Red Cross 1400 with Leith Innes booked. “We’re hoping to get him to Australia after this run,” trainer Roger James said. “He still fits into the Rating 90 band over there so there are good options in Sydney and Melbourne for him.”

- NZME

Rogersons girding up Graeme and Debbie Rogerson are planning a hefty attack on the opening fillies’ classic of the season. The Tuhikaramea trainers have a number of three-year-olds pencilled in to make the trip to Riccarton for the gavelhouse.com NZ 1000 Guineas on November 18. Among the troupe will be Gift Of Power, who enjoyed an impressive juvenile campaign with wins in the Wakefield Stakes and the Wellesley Stakes. - NZME

No hurry for Seventh Up While focusing on current stable star Close Up, Cambridge trainer Shelley Hale has his brother, Group Two winner Seventh Up, quietly ticking over in the background.

Seventh Up has been off the scene since finishing a close second at Te Rapa last May. Hale is pleased with Close Up going into tomorrow’s Gr.1 Livamol Classic.

In brief Record in danger Israel Folau’s stunning return to his scintillating best has left Australia’s tryscoring freak on track to break one of the most prestigious records in international rugby. With only pride on the line for the Wallabies after a winter of missed opportunities, Folau heads into Sunday’s Rugby Championship dead rubber with Argentina in sight of the world record for most test tries in a calendar year. The superstar codehopper needs six five-pointers in Australia’s last six internationals to equal the tallies of Japanese flyer Daisuke Ohata (2002) and legendary All Blacks winger Joe Rokocoko (2003).

Hammers History: Buller

BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

This weekend the Mid Canterbury Hammers will welcome familiar foe Buller to the Ashburton Showgrounds.

They should do so with a smile on their faces, as the Hammers have found plenty of success over the years against the men from over the Southern Alps.

Buller were on the receiving end of a thrashing of the 2014 Meads Cup final, courtesy of the Hammers, who ran home 36-13 winners.

It was a taste of revenge for the green and golds, who had lost to Buller in week five of the competition 29-19 at the Ashburton Showgrounds.

That kicked off a five-game winning run for the Hammers, which took them all the way to the trophy.

The round five defeat was only one of two for the Hammers against Buller, the most recent coming in 2016, when the Hammers lost narrowly 34-32 in Westport.

The sides first met in the first

year of the reformatted Heartland Championship in 2006, with the Hammers taking the victory 23-19.

The biggest win for the Hammers came in the Meads Cup final, while Buller’s biggest win was in the round robin in 2014.

Both sides are well in contention for a Meads Cup berth this time around, with Buller currently sitting in third, two points behind Horowhenua Kapiti and two points ahead of the Hammers.

They have only tasted defeat

once this season, which was a bit of a thrashing from Thames Valley in Paeroa, losing 26-7.

One name the Hammers will have to watch out for is James Lash, who currently leads the tournament points table, having scored 99 points this season.

The Hammers’ own Jarred Percival sits in third place, on 80 points.

After missing out on a try last week, Maleli Sau brings his try scoring run to end, and will looking to get back to the top try scorer standings this week.

Wallabies hardman Sean McMahon isn’t ruling out a return for the 2019 Rugby World Cup as he prepares for a two-year stint in Japan. Much to Michael Cheika’s disappointment, McMahon is set to link up with Wallabies great George Smith in Suntory for the 2018 and 2019 seasons, seemingly ruling him out of the next global showpiece – also in Japan. Cheika is on record as vowing to “get his contract torn up over there”, so desperate is the Wallabies coach to keep the firebrand back-rower.

Taranaki’s shot at glory Crusaders Seta Tamanivalu, Marty McKenzie, Sean Wainui and Manasa Mataele will attempt to force Canterbury skipper Tim Bateman to hand over the Log o’ Wood to Angus Ta’avao in Christchurch tonight. The match at AMI Stadium is Canterbury’s eighth Ranfurly Shield defence since raiding it from Waikato last season, and rebuffing Taranaki’s challenge will ensure they can lock it up for the summer.

Ashburton Showgrounds Can the MC Hammers dig deep and pull off another match winning performance to keep them in the hunt for the Meads Cup?

AshColl find winner’s circle The Ashburton College senior girls’ basketball side have wrapped up pool play and made a successful start to their crossover matches at the Secondary Schools’ National Tournament in Palmerston North.

The side started off the day against familiar foes Middleton Grange High School.

AshColl trailed by 10 at the end of the first quarter, but were able to pull it back to a four point deficit at half time.

From there on it was New Zealand under-18 rep Aimee Book’s game for Middleton Grange, using her three point shooting to allow her side to pull away, handing AshColl the 65-87 loss.

In the afternoon, AshColl lined up again Massey High School of Auckland, starting strongly, turning defensive pressure in to points both in the paint and from outside the arc.

The side kept the pressure on throughout, pulling away for a

comfortable 89-59 win.

Yesterday, the side played their first crossover game in the 17-24 bracket, taking on New Plymouth Girls’ High School.

Both teams were starting to show the fatigue that comes with playing at a national tournament, with a number of shots just falling short throughout the opening period.

After settling into their offensive patterns the College girls started to find their way to the hoop, fin-

ishing the half down 38-34.

AshColl battled throughout the second half with a number of lead changes heading in to the final two minutes. The College girls produced the stops on defence when needed and were able to convert on the offence end too, forcing NPGHS to foul and giving College the 60-55 win.

The side will now face Western Heights of Rotorua in the next round of crossover, with the game tipping off at 9am today.

Adams eases fears over pre-season injury Kiwi NBA star Steven Adams has quelled fears he could miss some of the pre-season after suffering a back injury on Wednesday.

The big Oklahoma City Thunder centre was fouled by James

Harden in a pre-season game against the Houston Rockets and left the court holding his lower back.

Adams has battled lower back issues many times in the past few

seasons, and ESPN commentator Royce Young earlier speculated that he could miss some time in the pre-season.

On Twitter, Adams said he would be “fine” – joking that he

left the court because of fatigue.

Adams NBA career has been plagued with injuries and earlier this year he entered the competition’s concussion protocol programme.

Five starting changes but this is undoubtedly the best team the All Blacks could present the Springboks.

With the exception of Brodie Retallick, at home after his tragic family loss, all the big guns are back in Cape Town.

No mercy given, then.

In comes Nehe Milner-Skudder for Waisake Naholo on the right wing; Ryan Crotty resumes at centre for Anton Lienert-Brown.

Sam Cane pushes openside Matt Todd to the bench. Sam Whitelock replaces Crusaders team-mate Luke Romano. And Liam Squire again keeps Jerome Kaino out of the picture.

Steve Hansen has, for now, resisted the urge to give Lima Sopoaga a crack from the get go.

The Highlanders first fiveeighth would have started in Buenos Aires last week, but opted to remain home for the birth of his first child, and will now have to wait a little longer for the No 10 jersey.

“Once we didn’t do that we thought we could either start him this week and put Beauden on the bench but then you think you’ve got the world’s best five-eighth on the bench you might as well play him and see what happens and use Lima off the bench,” Hansen said.

The plight of an All Blacks blindside is such that if you don’t make the starting team, commanding a spot on the bench is difficult.

Openside, a high attrition position, dictates cover is needed. So, too, a third lock.

Kaino started in the unfamiliar locking role in the loss against Ireland in Chicago last year.

The All Blacks learned then it is better to have specialist secondrow cover, particularly against a confrontational team such as the Boks.

And so Patrick Tuipulotu has been preferred for that role, with Scott Barrett proving in the 57-0 victory over the Boks in Albany he is comfortable at No 6 if required.

Squire is now the incumbent blindside, and Vaea Fifita, while not nearly as impressive last week, continues to knock on the door.

Interestingly, the All Blacks have left Lienert-Brown out altogether which means either Rieko Ioane or fullback David Havili will cover the midfield.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

In brief

Kidwell ‘blindsided’

By Angelo Risso Kiwis boss David Kidwell insists he received fewer than 48 hours’ notice of star lock Jason Taumalolo’s World Cup defection to Tonga.

In a bitter blow to New Zealand’s Cup hopes and a repudiation of Kidwell’s vision for the Kiwis side, the 24-year-old wrecking ball and 2016 Dally M medallist made himself available for Tonga, the nation of his ancestry, on Wednesday.

Born in Auckland to Tongan parents, the Cowboys-based Taumalolo said he snubbed New Zealand for Tonga to develop league in the Polynesian nation.

Kidwell swore black and blue yesterday that he was blindsided

by Taumalolo’s decision, and had expected him to pull on the Kiwis’ No.13 jumper.

Yet the issue appears to have been fermenting for some time, with Australian media reports suggesting Taumalolo turned his back on Kidwell’s Kiwis because of his decision to demote Jesse Bromwich and Kevin Proctor after the Anzac Day Test.

The pair, both senior Kiwis, were seen snorting a substance thought to be cocaine after their side’s 30-12 demolition at the hands of Australia in May. Kidwell dead-batted that allegation.

“We’ve made a number of phone calls, emails and texts – you’ll have to have a conversation with Jason there,” Kidwell said.

“Everyone’s going to have their

Ex-New Zealand skipper Jesse Bromwich and coach David Kidwell in happier times. own opinion (on it). We’re trying to build a new Kiwis spirit here and we’re not going to condone that behaviour.”

Melbourne-based back-rower Kenny Bromwich has been chosen as a last-minute replacement for Taumalolo, fresh off his side’s NRL Premiership win.

Kidwell suggested that Bromwich – brother of Jesse – and Joseph Tapine would likely partner stalwart Simon Mannering in the Kiwis’ back-row.

A host of other players in the wider Kiwis’ squad, including

Manu Ma’u, David Fusitu’a and Tuimoala Lolohea, have also elected to play for Tonga this year.

Kidwell admitted he’d received a little more notice from those players, and didn’t consider any of them – barring Taumalolo – as central to his plans.

Elsewhere, Issac Luke has been officially dumped after a mediocre season with the Warriors, usurped by the Knights-based Danny Levi.

Jared Waerea-Hargreaves has slipped into the squad at the last minute after a solid campaign

with the Roosters, and may slot straight into the starting side.

The rest of the squad is: Shaun Johnson, Te Maire Martin, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Jason Nightingale, Kodi Nikorima, Peta Hiku, Gerard Beale, Dallin WateneZelezniak, Dean Whare, Martin Taupau, Russell Packer, Elijah Taylor, Joseph Tapine and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves round out the 24-man squad.

New Zealand plays its first match of the tournament against Samoa in Auckland on October 28.

- NZME

Meninga after prop Andrew Fifita turned his back on Australia yesterday to play for Tonga.

Boyd has succumbed to the hamstring complaint he battled with during the latter stages of

Brisbane’s NRL campaign.

Winger Mansour played 15 games this season after injuring his knee at the end of last year.

In snubbing the short-priced favourites Australia, Fifita is turn-

ing down a potential $50,000 pay cheque for winning the World Cup, with Tonga players expected to take home just $3000 for their participation in the tournament.

- AAP

■ OPINION

League’s issues bubble to the surface N ew Zealand rugby league has had its biblical moment, with the parting of the red sea.

However, it was a sea of players departing to play in the red shirts of Tonga, and it is all a bit of a joke to be honest.

It all started with Jason Taumalolo, and has followed on with TEN!! former Kiwis players jumping ship.

Hell, a bloody Aussie has even done it.

Now the main reason I have seen listed in stories is because of how the New Zealand side handled the whole Jesse Bromwich and Kevin Proctor snorting a white substance of the back of a phone after getting spanked by

Jason Taumalolo and Andrew Fifita’s decision to turn their backs on New Zealand and Australia to play for Tonga in this year’s World Cup has delighted teammate Will Hopoate. The front-rowers are the biggest names in the Mate Ma’a squad for the World Cup, which boasts several current or former Kiwis or Kangaroos. Taumalolo’s decision to pledge his allegiance to Tonga has been followed by Sio Siua Taukeiaho, Manu Ma’u and David Fusitu’a also advising New Zealand they would be committing to Tonga. Crowd favourites Konrad Hurrell and Manu Vatuvei are also in the Tonga squad along with former Kangaroos Michael Jennings and Daniel Tupou. - NZME

the Aussies scandal.

As you might remember, they were each fined $40,000, and banned for a total of six club matches.

Now to me, that seems awfully fair for using an illegal drug, on international duty and after losing one of the biggest games of the year.

The real kick in the guts was

Kiwis coach David Kidwell saying they would not play for the side until next year, suspending them from the world cup.

For me this a limp-wristed reason, if it even is one, and is a sign of a problem in league, but that is a whole different kettle of fish.

The main thing that has irked me about this is the non-existent international eligibility rules.

A couple of years ago, New Zealand Football got in a storm of trouble after a couple of South African-born players played in an Olympic qualifier.

They weren’t allowed to due to the very strict eligibility rules, and were punished and did not qualify for the tournament,

despite winning the game.

This is how I imagine all rules around this should be in sport.

A much easier way to show how ridiculous it is would be to imagine if all the Samoan and Tongan-born All Blacks just decided to up and bugger off to their home nations, two days before the world cup squads were announced.

There would be riot in the streets.

This shouldn’t be allowed to happen. I understand league is a game that needs to grow across the board, but allowing players to bounce between international teams willy-nilly is a bad look on the international league community.

Chris Wood is putting the good and bad of New Zealand’s last meeting with Japan behind him as preparations step up for their important international friendly in Nagoya tonight. Burnley striker Wood will lead the attack in his 54th international appearance. The last game against Japan, under the short-term reign of former coach Neil Emblen, seems like it was from a different generation, Wood said. “That’s a long time ago. It’s a totally different outlook from the management and the team, everything’s changed,” he said.

- NZME

Scottish striker to start He couldn’t make it out of his driveway earlier this year but there is no holding back Melbourne City recruit Ross McCormack from an A-League debut on Friday. McCormack’s international clearance has come through and coach Warren Joyce has said the Scottish striker will start in the season opener against Brisbane Roar at AAMI Park. The 31-year-old is on loan from the English Championship side as an injury replacement player for Bruno Fornaroli (ankle).

Foxes heading to court Leicester are considering going to the Court of Arbitration for Sport over the signing of Adrien Silva. The Foxes’ appeal to FIFA to secure the registration of Portuguese midfielder Silva was rejected by world football’s governing body. Leicester and the Football Association had asked FIFA to ratify the transfer after the paperwork for Silva’s STG22million deadline day move from Sporting Lisbon was submitted 14 seconds late. That request was denied and, as things stand, Silva will now not be registered to play for Leicester until January.

Fabregas fired the pizza Cesc Fabregas has admitted he threw the pizza which struck then Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson in the Battle of the Buffet 13 years ago. Arsenal, Fabregas’ former club, saw their 49-game unbeaten run come to an end at Old Trafford in October 2004 and a clash in the tunnel followed.

Fabregas’ former Gunners teammate Martin Keown said the pizza was thrown by the Spain playmaker in 2014, but it has taken another three years for an admission from the man himself.

Asked on Sky TV if he was the thrower, Fabregas said “yes”. - PA

No grudges, says Scotty

By Laine CLark Ford star Scott McLaughlin says all is forgiven with his Holden nemesis Jamie Whincup ahead of the Bathurst 1000.

Supercars series leader McLaughlin admits he was in disbelief after his best chance of winning a maiden Bathurst title last year was scuppered by a spectacular late crash with Whincup.

Whincup crossed the line first last year but was relegated to 11th by a 15-second penalty for his role in the late tangle with McLaughlin that also took out Garth Tander as they were vying for the lead.

Whincup has kept a low profile after returning to Mount Panorama, opting not to hold a media event before the great race.

But McLaughlin said he no longer had an issue with Whincup as he prepared to secure Ford powerhouse DJR Penske Racing their first Peter Brock Trophy on Sunday on his way to a maiden title.

“It’s always tough watching the race last year, looking at the position I was in,” McLaughlin said. “But I am a big believer that everything happens for a reason.

“I was just not meant to win it last year, hopefully it is this year. It was tough last year but I guess you could say it is a character-building year.”

Puzzles

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

Friday, October 6, 2017

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): If you have to convince yourself that you’re right, you’re either A) not or B) oppressed. It is possible that others have squashed your spirit with their own agenda, thus causing you to doubt yourself.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You will get what was promised, but not when it was promised – or maybe it will be the other way around. Hold people to their word. Accountability is the core of human decency.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Do what you can. Take responsibility where it’s convenient. You wouldn’t believe the burden you might take from another person’s shoulders by volunteering for something easy and enjoyable for you.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’re aware of the needs of others, the opportunities out there and the ways in which you might serve them. But mostly, you’re aware of who you are. That’s the piece that makes it all come together.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): What if you were never able to change your flaws? What then? Then you’d be forced to accept and make the most of it all. So start there. At this point it’s a more powerful position than wishing for a change.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Social dynamics are tricky now.

There is such a thing as playing it too cool.

People want to know that you care enough to make an effort, but not that you’re trying too hard.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The blurred borders and fuzzy edges that led to so much confusion will come together in a snap. The world is suddenly crisp and clear.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Just because you’ve given doesn’t mean you must now give in perpetuity. Those who try to hook you into an endless cycle are repellent to you. You’d rather solve a problem and be done with it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): To avoid invoking the envy of your peers, maybe it’s better if you keep your hyper-production on the downlow now.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): People who make decisions based strictly on how they feel may worry you, but no more than those who decide strictly based on research and cost comparisons. As for you, you’ll do a little of both ways.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): No one is handed initiative.

Initiative is something you have to take. What you do is really secondary today. The impact is created in how and why you do it. A power move is a move that’s initiated by you.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Ruled by Neptune, the dream king, Pisces need to dream like a fish needs water. New inspiration will help you fulfil that need today. Blow out the limits.

Sport Paddon back in action Dropped New Zealand driver Hayden Paddon will return to action at this month’s World Rally Championship event in Wales. Hyundai Motorsport confirmed Paddon will contest Rally Great Britain from October 26-29 as part of a four-car assault. The Kiwi made way for newly-signed Norwegian Andreas Mikkelson for the 11th of 13 rounds in Spain this week.

It is the first round ninth-placed Paddon has missed in what has been a disappointing campaign.

Maiden surfing victory

Top shots

Nikki Van Dijk has broken through for her maiden win on the elite world surfing tour as fellow Australian Sally Fitzgibbons extended her championship lead in Portugal. Van Dijk beat three-time world champion Carissa Moore of Hawaii in the final of the Cascais Women’s Pro on Wednesday, improving her ranking from seventh to fifth. The 22-year-old Van Dijk’s third and fourth waves of 6.00 and 4.67 were enough to secure her victory.

Ashburton College and Mid Canterbury have kept their shooting reputation intact after winning the teams’ event New Zealand Secondary School Championships in Palmerston North.

The team posted a score of 875.33. Shania Harrison-Lee shot 289.11, Lanelle Millar-McArthur 292.11 and Emma Smith 294.11.

They finished ahead of Wellington College in second place, and Fielding High School in third.

Team manager/coach Steve McArthur said he was extremely happy to see how the team performed.

“They have been working really hard and it is good to see that hard work has paid off,” he said.

Not only did they perform well as a team, their performances also earned all three shooters a place in the South Island team that shot against the North Island, with Smith named as captain.

They all contributed to the side defeating the North Island

Cuneen back on board La Diosa P23

team 1930.77 to 1924.75.

Their efforts also earned them an extra honour, with all three selected in the New Zealand Schools team that shot in a postal match with a group of United Kingdom.

“It is the first time in my memory that three from the same team have been named to all teams,” McArthur said.

Despite it coming to the tailend of the shooting season, McArthur, who also shoots himself and has represented the South Island and New Zealand,

said the team had been putting in plenty of hours on the practice range.

“They shoot three nights a week, but there is also a lot that goes in training the mental side of it and the heart rate and physical stuff,” he said.

“It is like trying to thread a needle at the speed of sound.

“If you are off by a quarter of a centimetre that could be enough to put you in a different grade.

“It is exceptionally difficult and to do it in under pressure is really impressive.”

Bevin on the move New Zealand road cycling professional Patrick Bevin has confirmed he’ll ride for a different World Tour team in 2018. After two years at Cannondale-Drapac, Bevin signed a one-year deal with Swiss outfit BMC Racing. It caps a solid year for the 26-year-old, who was sixth overall in the Tour of Norway and completed his maiden appearance in the Tour de France.

BMC Racing team general manager Jim Ochowicz believes Bevin is ready to step up another level.
