Restoration to cost $95,000

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

IN TODAY’S GUARDIAN

The restoration of Ashburton’s Chinese settlement could soon be under way, but it will come with a $95,000 price tag.

In 2008 the Ashburton District Council signed an agreement with descendants of the original settlers that made it custodian of their land and buildings.

As part of that deal the council agreed it would restore and protect items and structures of heritage value on the land.

It also agreed to erect a memorial to the original settlers.

It has taken nine years, however, for the council to make any significant moves towards honouring that agreement.

Yesterday, members of the council’s Chinese Settlement working group met and accepted a plan that will see most of the original buildings on the Allens Road site restored and the area landscaped.

Heritage consultant Arlene Baird prepared a report that spelled out options for the site, ranging from minimal intervention costing about $10,000 through to full restoration at well over $100,000.

Her recommendation was that the

council opt for a mixture of stabilisation and restoration that would come with a $95,400 price tag. The full monty restoration could then be considered in the future, she said.

Whichever option was taken, Baird recommended that two ‘modern’ cottages and two structures in very bad repair were demolished. The remaining buildings range from good to poor.

Falloon is the frontrunner – Guardian poll

By SuSaN SaNdyS

SuSan.S@theguardian.co.nz

National’s Rangitata candidate Andrew Falloon is heartened by the results of a Guardian online poll, putting him as frontrunner among the electorate’s political candidates.

Of more than 250 votes as of yesterday afternoon, 54.05 per cent of respondents said he was the candidate most likely to get their vote.

It is good news for the candidate 11 weeks out from the election, who said late yesterday Prime Minister Bill English would be likely to be visiting on July 28.

The visit had yet to be confirmed, but at this stage he believed English would pop into a number of local businesses while here.

“Most people I’ve spoken to are keen to see the economy continue to grow under a stable National-led government, and recognise the importance of having a strong local voice,” Falloon said.

“I’m really grateful for the support of people who voted for me (in the poll), but it really is a case of the only poll that matters is on election day.”

It was a sentiment echoed by his political opponent Jo Luxton for Labour, who had 31.66 per

cent of respondents saying they would vote for her.

“I’m happy with that,” Luxton said.

“It’s great to see people participating in the poll. The vote that is most important though is the

one on 23rd of September.”

She was away overseas at the moment but her campaign was going well, phoning and door knocking, and she was enjoying getting out and about meeting people.

Luxton will also play host to her party’s leader, Andrew Little, when he visits Mid Canterbury July 12.

The Green Party’s Mojo Mathers, who returned 8.49 per cent of votes in the poll, said from

Parliament that her focus was on campaigning for the party vote.

“Parliament doesn’t rise until after 17th August, so will have more freedom to get out on the ground after that. Have enjoyed speaking at a range of local events from Hearing Association to Federated Farmers recently.”

The Opportunities Party’s (TOP) Olly Wilson only secured 0.77 per cent of respondents’ votes, which was less than the number who said they were “not interested”, 5.02 per cent.

“Not surprised with this result, as I’m still not well known in Ashburton and surrounding areas,” the Timaru-based businessman said.

“I’m looking forward to getting out and meeting the people and sharing our story to restore water quality through polluter pays and commercial levy, addressing our horrific poverty rates by introducing an Unconditional Basic Income (UBI),” he said.

He was also passionate about addressing the issue of teen suicide through his emergency nursing background.

One thing which may help the candidate will be his party leader Gareth Morgan including Ashburton on a TOP roadshow and talking here on August 9, with the venue yet to be confirmed.

■ LIQUOR LICENSING

Clubs aren’t pubs, says inspector

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

In treating their clubrooms like de facto bars, sports clubs are breaking the law, a licensing inspector says.

Misunderstanding about the liquor laws as they apply to clubs means it is not uncommon to find some are unintentionally breaching the conditions of their liquor licences, Ashburton District licensing inspector Helen Faass said.

A recent visit to two sports clu-

brooms that were hosting home games on a Saturday found both were in breach of the terms of their licence. A two out of two fail rate indicates the problem of treating a club like a pub could be widespread, she said.

She would not talk details around the breaches and the visits were part of normal licence monitoring. While she was disappointed with a two out of two fail rate, Faass said she wasn’t particularly surprised.

“Sports clubs should be up to

speed with this, it’s on their licence so there shouldn’t be an issue with them not knowing. It’s something that’s just slipped over time.”

The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 (section 60) contains provisions relating to clubs that make it very clear who they can sell liquor to – a club member, a guest of a club member providing they are accompanied by the member, or an authorised visitor.

This is someone who has reciprocal visiting rights with the club.

While it is not mandatory for clubs to have a sign-in register, this can be a good way to ensure visitors are with a member rather than just casual callers, Faass said.

The council intends holding a meeting to reiterate the rules around club licences and to explain the provisions of the Local Alcohol Policy which takes effect on August 28.

The meeting will be informal and will provide an opportunity to clarify licence rules and for club representatives to ask questions,

she said.

Since the two clubs were caught in breach of licence rules two weeks ago, Faass said there had been plenty of inquiries from clubs concerned they too were breaking the rules.

“Those rules seem to have slipped under the radar a bit but hopefully we can clarify things for everyone.”

This club licence meeting will be held on July 13 at 6pm in the council’s Baring Square East meeting chambers.

Resthome did not get boil-water notice

■ METHVEN

Cow dead after car accident

By SuSan SandyS

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Methven House management only happened to find out via Facebook of the need to boil water after a supply treatment failure last week.

Manager of the 13-bed resthome Elisabeth Heybrook said she was annoyed the facility had not been approached directly by the council, and she was in the process of writing a complaint.

“I don’t want to have diarrhoea going through my house if it is avoidable,” she said.

A staff member had happened to notice the precautionary boil water notice on a Methven Facebook page on Friday evening.

“We have so many health and safety rules nowadays, they (the council) should have their protocol ready, and we have learned from Havelock North,” Heybrook said.

“Nothing happened…but it could have happened, we have plenty of cows grazing, so there is plenty of E coli going round, they don’t need much to be really sick.”

Additionally she believed the council should have put a boil water notice on the supply earlier, shortly after discovering the power failure and its affect on the treatment system.

The council has come under fire from residents miffed at why it was testing the supply throughout the day on Friday to see if it met standards, but then not alerting the community of the need to boil water until about 6.30pm.

A succession of council failures in dealing with the situation has been highlighted by Canterbury medical officer of heath Alastair Humphrey, including the time the notice was issued and the fact it was only a precautionary notice.

FORMAL PROCESS

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

A formal process could be identified to ensure premises such as the town’s resthome and hospitality outlets are informed in the case of a compromised water supply.

So says Methven Community Board chairman Dan McLaughlin.

While he and fellow board members had contacted some of the restaurants and hospitality businesses in town on Friday night, not all of them were informed, and next time he would contact more.

The council had not asked board members to contact the premises, and they had just done this off their own bats.

“I definitely think they (council) have learned from it,” he said.

But at the same time it was difficult to get hold of everybody, and he knew of a couple of local authorities which simply posted boil water notices on their websites and took no other action.

Methven House manager, Elisabeth Heybrook was annoyed she was not directly approached over last week’s water issue.

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN

The council has stated it followed the protocols outlined in its water safety plan, which include keeping customers informed.

The council has also said the advice it had from Community and Public Health’s drinking water assessor was “to issue a precautionary boil water notice if

we could not prove the water was clean and safe to drink, which is exactly what the testing was trying to determine”.

However, Humphrey clarified yesterday that under section 69 of the Health Act 1956, drinking water suppliers are responsible for their own supply.

“They should not wait for ad-

Methven police are advising farmers with paddocks along busy roads to padlock their gates following a car crashing into a cow on Wednesday morning.

It was one of about 11 heifers in a paddock near the camping ground on Barkers Road, which got out overnight and wandered along the roadway.

Senior constable Mike Seque said police suspected someone walking past may have let the cows out.

A Methven area woman driving into the town along Mt Hutt Station Road struck one of the cows at the corner of Holmes Road about 5.20am.

The front of her car was extensively damaged and the cow had to be euthanised.

Seque said the accident had not been the fault of either the farmer or the driver.

Stock being let out was something which cropped up from time to time.

“The consequences are not good because someone can get killed,” he said.

Padlocking roadside gates was an extra measure farmers could take. In addition they could secure gates at the hinge end so they could not be lifted off by thieves.

vice from drinking water assessors to implement their water safety plans,” Humphrey said.

In any case the advice to council had been to introduce a notice at 11.14am (previously reported to be 11.40am).

Humphrey added there had been no notifications of gastroenteritis from the Methven region following the treatment failure.

“While this does not mean there have been no cases, particularly from visitors to Methven, it is encouraging,” he said.

Farm dogs bring good prices at sale The sound of dogs working sheep at the Mayfield A&P Showgrounds was heard for miles around yesterday when PGG Wrightson ran its 61st annual Ashburton Sheep and Cattle Dog Sale.

Top price from the sales catalogue, which featured 43 heading and 15 huntaway dogs, went to three-year-old heading dog Bruce, who went for $7000.

Bruce was bred and trained by respected dog trialist and breeder Michael Millar of Darfield.

Millar said he was pleased with the price.

“He is a good strong heading dog and I thought he would do well.

“He’s a three-year-old and I put him in the sale because I have to spend a bit more time with the younger dogs I’ve got coming through.”

PGG Wrightson Mid Canterbury livestock manager Greg Cook said there is still a strong demand for a good sheep or cattle dog and the sale reflected that, with the top price $400 up on last year.

“Over the last 10 years or so the quality of the dogs has got better as the number of the dogs on offer has decreased.

“Not everyone needs to buy a dog every year, but when they do they are happy to pay a good price for a quality dog that

will work hard for them for a number of years,” Cook said.

“This sale attracts buyers from all over New Zealand, but the vendors are mainly from the Canterbury and Otago regions.

There are a core of regular vendors who have been selling for quite a few years at this sale. They might not have a dog to sell every year, but when they do, it is always a high quality dog.

“The top end was very strong – people will spend good money on a good dog. But we saw a few more younger dogs on offer today [from eight months to two years] than we did last year.

“We sold 48 of the 58 dogs offered for sale today, so we are pleased with that result,” Cook said.

“The sale price ranged from $500 to the top price of $7000. The sale price for huntaways ranged from $1000 to $6300 and the heading dogs fetched between $500 and $7000.”

During the auction each dog had the opportunity to showcase its skills when they worked a pen or yard of sheep supplied by a local farmer.

While the sheep returned to their paddock at the end of the sale, the dogs headed to their new farms all over New Zealand.

Bess, a nine-month-old huntaway, had a close look at the action during yesterday’s sheep and cattle sale, before it was her turn to be auctioned.

Chinese settlement restoration to cost $95,000 From P1 The site was unique, she said and it had the potential to be a significant attraction for both local and international tourists.

“This report is more than a paper exercise, it will form the backbone for anything you do on this site long term,” she said.

Her site restoration plan would

see most buildings restored, buildings that had been demolished marked and a number of interpretative boards erected.

The area would also be landscaped with this work possibly including a community orchard, a Chinese memorial and recreation areas.

“Interpretation is an incredibly

important part of this project. As it stands these are just buildings but when you add the people and the history the whole site comes to life,” Baird said.

The working group’s recommendation for the $95,000 restoration will now go to the council’s finance and business services committee for approval and will

then need to be signed off at a council meeting where funding options will be discussed.

Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel suggested the project could attract support from external funders. While some people might suggest restoring a Chinese village was not core council business, she did not agree.

“The day we signed the agreement to become custodians of this land, it became the business of council.”

She is also keen to explore the tourism potential of the site and intends to contact the council’s sister city and friendship ship city in China outlining the restoration plan.

■ WRESTLING MATCHES

Madness and mayhem in Methven

By SuSan SandyS

Since the 28-year-old welding workshop foreman from Christchurch got into pro-wrestling two years ago, he has had the odd broken rib, as well as cuts requiring stitches.

“There’s no faking gravity, when you are hoisted up and you fall down on your back, it’s not a soft landing,” Griffiths said.

Ticket sales had picked up for the Aftershock Pro Wrestling (APW) event on Saturday night.

Tickets will be available at the door and Griffiths was confident it would sell out.

Funds will go to Our Lady of the Snows School and Methven Primary School.

Held 6pm to 9pm at the Mount Hutt Memorial Hall, tickets are $15 children, $20 adults and $55 for a family.

Professional wrestler Kris Griffiths hopes he won’t be the one to smash through a table at Mountain Mayhem in Methven tomorrow night.

The schools fundraiser is to showcase some of the best in Kiwi professional wrestling, with wrestlers from throughout the country converging for a seven-match card.

A tables match will see two wrestlers each from Christchurchbased Southern Wrecking Crew and Auckland-based FIST, fight until one of them is put through a table.

“I have personally been through a table, it’s not as fun as it looks,” Griffiths, a Southern Wrecking Crew member, said.

■ SCAMS

Don’t cancel; hit delete

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

If you receive an email telling you have purchased an app from the Apple online store, think before you click, an Ashburton man said.

He’s earned himself a set of new credit cards for attempting to cancel a purchase an email told him he’d made.

The man (who did not want to be identified) received an email telling him he had recently bought a new app through the online store but that he needed to cancel the payment.

A few days prior he had made a purchase and thought nothing of the request to click cancel and then enter his credit card details so the payment could be cancelled.

The item he was told he’d mistakenly purchased was a 1913 Old Hebrew Bible for $99.

“It’s very, very convincing. You think, I didn’t buy this so you

want to cancel the transaction,” he said.

The process appeared to grind to a halt once he’d completed and sent the section requesting credit card details and it was only then that he started to suspect the request might not have been kosher.

A quick call to his bank meant he was able to stop the transaction being processed and another call to Apple made it clear that the email requesting cancellation had not been generated by them. The man had been scammed.

He’s now cancelled his bank cards and changed security details but has been left feeling uneasy about the theft of his identity and his financial details.

With hindsight he says, it was an easy scam to fall for because it wasn’t about making a purchase; it was about cancelling an incorrect transaction.

OUR VIEW

What’s happened to good ol’ discipline?

Matt Markham

ACTING EDITOR

M

ost of us found out the hard way what a good smack on the bum can do to make you sit up and behave when we were growing up.

It taught us to show some respect and to eat our greens and most importantly, it taught us who the boss was.

You knew almost before you did it what the result would entail and it instilled a bit of fear and made you think twice about whatever it was that you were doing that you shouldn’t have been.

It made, most of us, better people. And although there was some anger and hurt at the time, you soon got over it.

Very few could say that the odd slap on the rump here and there throughout their childhood has had an adverse effect on how their life has panned out.

Just like falling off your bike and skinning your knee, getting a smack on the bum from mum and dad was part of growing up.

Nowadays, though, the pendulum swings in the other direction.

The fear has been transferred to the parents. It is they who must worry about retribution for their actions.

A raised hand or a clip around the ear for a naughty child can land a parent in hot water.

So, the balance isn’t quite right.

That one-third of New Zealand children are still given a smack from their parents every now and then shouldn’t come as any major surprise, despite it being 10 years since the controversial anti-smacking law was introduced.

By now we are supposed to have socially adjusted to the idea.

Our thought process around discipline is supposed to be different.

Calmness and well-planned discussion are the preferred methods from a political perspective, no matter how severe the offence or the impact of the action.

Ask someone who was a child before the law was introduced and you can almost guarantee they’ll be able to tell you that they remember the last time their mum gave them a tap with the wooden spoon.

But they’ll struggle to remember what the topic was the time they sat them down to give them a good verbal telling off.

And therein lies the problem.

WHAT YOU ARE SAYING YOUR VIEWS ON FACEBOOK

T

he anti-smacking debate raged into yesterday with plenty of people jumping in to offer their thoughts on the report that found that one third of New Zealand children were still smacked by their parents, your comments are again in today’s Your Views On Facebook.

Today is the final day in our week-long poll on which candidate you will be voting for in the upcoming general election and it’s looking like a confident moral victory for Andrew Falloon.

Jump onto our Facebook page to join the discussion and head to www.guardianonline.co.nz to vote in this week’s poll.

ROLLING POLL This week’s question Q: Which candidate, at this stage, is most likely to get your vote in the 2017 general election?

Kay Half of the stuff kids get away with now, never happen back when i was little ...a smack is not a beating ....and talking it over with them ...we need to look at why this generation is running wild and stealing stuff ..its up to the parents how they bring up there kids ...smack or not to smack ...

Deirdre The choice not to smack my child was made personally by me. I remember the betrayal and hurt I felt when I was smacked. I never understood how you could hurt someone you profess to love. My child is disciplined and well behaved. The look on her face if I smacked her would break my heart. The law hasn’t affected me at all. Each to their own, the law has done nothing to curb child abuse and has criminalised some for their method of parenting.

Blair You are asking the wrong question. Maybe you should be asking has violence towards children decreased. I would think not as those that beat their children don’t care about laws like this one. This law just makes good parents feel guilty if they feel their child needs a good smack on the bum.

Results up to 5pm yesterday: Andrew Falloon 54% Jo Luxton 31% Mojo Mathers 8%

Huia Look there is smacking and then.their is abuse of the smacking....we all know whats what.... Yes there are people who support the law that was passed but there is some who don’t....its a choice like anything else really!

Amanda In my view when the law changed there seemed to be a higher number of children pass away at the hands of people that were meant to love them. When the government have children 4 me then they can tell me weather i can smack them or not until then I’ll do what i feel is best

I’m not interested 5% Olly Wilson 0.77%

acebook now has more than two billion users. CEO Mark Zuckerberg says the company hit the milestone a week or two ago.

According to Facebook, more than 175 million people declare they ‘love’ something on the site daily and an average of more than 800 million people hit Facebook’s ‘like’ button.

The Californian company is putting more emphasis on creating virtual communities within the site while it also works to reduce violent, hateful and misleading content.

Then he laughed his ‘Mwa-haha’ laugh, rubbed his knuckles and said something about ‘world domination’ and ‘it will all be mine’.

Is it just me or does there seems to be a lot more ‘like’ than ‘love’ out there?

Fun Fact: Mark Zuckerberg cannot be blocked on Facebook.

While I’m on the Facebook subject, have you ever noticed, if you Google something, all of a sudden in your Facebook feed ads appear for that thing?

Example, I was telling a friend about the Cirque-du-Soleil show Manda and I went to in Vegas and went on Google to find out the name of the Casino that was home for the show. Next thing my facey feed shows ads for tickets to the show. Well maybe, just maybe that will stop now, Yeah right!

Google has announced that they will stop reading your email.

That’s right, somewhere in the agreement that you clicked on without reading when you signed up for a ‘Gmail’ account, is a stipulation that allowed them to scan all of your emails in order for them to provide personalised ads.

And to do whatever else they would like to do with the info they gleaned from what you wrote to grandma.

According to a release from the company, the Google bots will no longer scan customers personal email for advertising purposes. The company will, however, still scan emails to detect things like spam, hacking and phishing attempts.

Removing email scanning for ad personalisation doesn’t mean Gmail will go ad free, however.

Advertisements will now be targeted to you based on things like your internet searches, browsing activity, and even physical locations.

I’m glad THEY can access my Gmail, because I haven’t been able to remember my password for months!

I use Siri quite a bit, in fact more and more as my reading eyesight deteriorates. “Siri, send a text message to…” etc.

Although she doesn’t get it all right all of the time, I think she is a very smart addition to my iPhone.

If, like me, you think your Siri, Cortana, Google Voice or your Alexa are smart now, just hold on for a few decades.

According to a poll of artificial intelligence researchers, machines will outperform humans

4 for $48

in all tasks within 45 years.

And ‘AI’ will master many activities a lot sooner than that.

Machines are predicted to be better than us at translating languages by 2024, writing highschool essays by 2026, driving trucks by 2027, working in retail by 2031, writing bestselling books by 2049 and doing surgery by 2053.

In fact, according to those people who supposedly know, all human jobs will be automated within the next 120 years.

If these predictions are correct, just imagine the consequences.

For example: How will teachers deal with computer-generated essays that are indistinguishable from the real thing?

But at least we will still be around to deal with these issues.

Despite media hype about the dangers of AI, the researchers put only a 5 per cent chance on computers bringing about outcomes as severe as something like human extinction.

“Siri, write my paper column please,” has a nice ring to it.

Till next week.

■ NORTH KOREA

US ‘ready to use force’ The United States has vowed to use military force to defend the country and its allies against a North Korean intercontinental ballistic missile if necessary, but said it prefers to use its clout in international trade to address the growing threat.

In a hard-hitting speech at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council following Pyongyang’s successful launch of an ICBM, US Ambassador Nikki Haley said that “the world has become a more dangerous place” and China has a key role in promoting peace.

China is responsible for 90 per cent of trade with North Korea and Haley warned that Beijing risks its massive trade with the United States if its business dealings with Pyongyang violate UN sanctions.

She said the United States doesn’t seek conflict – “in fact we seek to avoid it”. But she said the launch of an ICBM “is a clear and sharp military escalation” and the US is prepared to use its “considerable military forces” to defend itself and its allies “if we must”.

But Haley said the Trump administration prefers “not

Did Amelia Earhart survive her final flight?

A newly unearthed photograph suggests that Amelia Earhart did not perish at sea back on July 2, 1937, when the famed female aviator vanished from the sky after sending a number of troubling transmissions.

It has long been believed that poor visibility and low gas levels caused the plane to crash in the waters near Howland Island that day, claiming the lives of the 39-year-old pilot and her navigator Fred Noonan.

That theory is now being put to the test however as a result of this never-before-seen image that appears to show both Earhart and Noonan in the Marshall Islands, with a note on the image placing them at the Jaluit Atoll, the Daily Mail

reports.

Earhart’s plane can also be seen on the far right being dragged by a large ship.

The image is believed to have been taken in 1937, the same year that Earhart went missing in the vicinity of the

island chain.

It is a bitter-sweet discovery however, as the photograph also confirms the long-held belief that Earhart was captured by the Japanese and held as a prisoner of war, this according to experts who will

appear on the History special Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence, airing this Sunday.

The Japanese government stated that they have no record of Earhart ever being a prisoner.

In the image, Earhart has her back to the camera and is seen speaking to Noonan as they prepare to board a boat.

The faces of the two cannot be seen, but their profiles do bear a striking similarity to the pair, who were close to finishing out their goal of circumnavigating the globe.

It is believed that the photographer was a US spy or emissary operating behind enemy lines in the Pacific.

He was later executed for committing treason according to reports.

■ MEXICO

At least 14 killed in gunfight in Mexico A shootout in northern Mexico left at least 14 people dead, according to officials. It was the latest mass killing amid a sharp resurgence of violence related to the country’s drug war.

The gunfight occurred between rival drug gangs in a rural part of Chihuahua state, which borders Texas and New Mexico, according to the state prosecutor’s office.

Initial reports put the death toll at 26, but Felix González, a spokesman for the state prosecutor, said that just 14 deaths had been confirmed.

The violence follows a deadly incident on Friday in which 17 suspected drug traffickers were killed near the Pacific Coast city of Mazatlan in a confrontation with police that some relatives of the victims suspected might

have involved extrajudicial killings.

Three days later, nine people were killed in the state of Puebla, east of Mexico City, as part of a festering dispute among fuel thieves.

The recent violence has underscored the deteriorating security across Mexico. More than 11,000 people have been killed in the first five months of the year, a pace of violence

that is 30 per cent higher than last year and puts Mexico on pace for what may be the deadliest year in its post-revolution history.

After an initial decline during the first two years of Enrique Peña Nieto’s presidency, killings have roared back to levels that are comparable with those during the worst years of the country’s drug war.

Massive fallout The internet is reeling over a massively public falling out between reality TV stars Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna, but the whole situation is actually pretty grim.

Kardashian has broken Californian law and has been accused of breaking another after Chyna alleged he beat her.

He’s slut-shamed his ex-fiancee and the mother of his child, and says he “hopes” his daughter will see it all some day. The saga started when Kardashian took to Instagram on Wednesday to shame his ex-fiancee by posting a graphic picture of her genitalia. He continued to post images of Chyna nude and when his Instagram account was shut down, he went and reposted the photos on Twitter.

Bening to lead jury US actress Annette Bening will lead the jury at this year’s Venice Film Festival, the organisers of the world’s oldest cinema fair announced. Bening, 59, has been an Oscar nominee for her roles in American Beauty, The Kids are All Right, Being Julia and The Grifters. She is married to Hollywood star, Warren Beatty. “It was time to break with a long list of male presidents and invite a brilliant, talented and inspiring woman to chair our international competition jury,” Venice festival director Alberto Barbera said.

The Venice Film Festival was established in 1932.

■ CONSUMER NZ SURVEY

Power companies fail to impress of Mercury Energy which often serves as the default provider in apartments, was singled out for bad customer experience.

“Thirty per cent of customers with Bosco had regularly experienced long wait times to speak to a customer service representative. It’s overall rate of very satisfied customers was just 28 per cent,” Chetwin said.

Chetwin said Bosco’s price was a third more than the national average and apartment dwellers were often given the impression they have no other options.

“We’re aware of one letting agent that wrongly told clients they had no choice of energy retailer,” she said.

Flick Electric scored the top marks in Consumer NZ’s survey with 71 per cent of customers saying they were very satisfied with the company’s service.

Flick’s prices are directly tied to the wholesale price of power. A recent surge in spot prices occurred due to low lake levels in the South Island.

Confidence remained steady for the June quarter with a net 18 per cent of businesses expecting better economic conditions over the coming months.

Positive sentiment widened geographically, with Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Gisborne, and Southland seeing the highest levels of business confidence. Of note in the survey, confidence in the building and construction sector fell sharply in the June quarter, while capacity utilisation slipped a little as well.

This is in line with softening activity within the sector and was in line with other economic surveys.

Despite this area of weakness, the economic environment in New Zealand remains positive and is indicative of continued growth for the remainder of the year.

QV released data on the housing market in New Zealand, which showed further evidence of a slowdown. House sales for the second quarter of the year were down 30 per cent from the previous year in Auckland and there was less of a rise in prices in the region as well, up only 7.2 per cent for the year. Wellington saw the biggest increase in prices, up 18 per cent from the prior comparable period. Tauranga was close behind, with prices rising 14.6 per cent for the year. The nationwide average rose 8.1 per cent for the year to $639,051, however the inflation adjusted rise was just

5.9 per cent. Across the ditch, the biggest event of the week was the July meeting of the Reserve Bank of Australia. In the lead up the market was hoping that the RBA would adopt a similar stance to other central banks across the world, taking a more hawkish view, discussing the possibility of a rate hike. However this was not the case with the central bank sticking to its knitting, holding rates steady and keeping rhetoric in line with previous commentary.

The release of the US Federal Reserve minutes gave the market something to talk about as it showed some division within the voting members of the committee.

Commentary following the latest rate hike indicated that the Fed was still on track to raise rates at least one more time this year, however there has been growing cynicism on whether this will happen or not. The minutes showed that there is increasing tensions among members over the outlook for inflation and how this will impact the path of interest rates.

The most likely time for the year’s third rate hike is the September meeting, so data will be watched closely between now and then.

T

he opening week for the second half of the year has been mixed, with geopolitical tensions rising, a holiday shortened week in the US and a number of important economic data releases from all regions of the globe.

Markets have been a little on edge this week as rising political tensions saw risk aversion creep back into markets.

The first event which saw tensions rise was the successful launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile from North Korea.

The missile launch comes ahead of the G20 summit which, at the time of writing had not started. It is being held in Hamburg, Germany and has already had plenty of media attention with reports of growing tension between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and US President Donald Trump.

There is expected to be a clash over climate change and trade issues. In addition to this, it will be the first time President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet.

Locally, the Global Dairy Trade auction for the week resulted in another marginal decline in the dairy price index, slipping 0.4 per cent. The last auction saw a decline of 0.9 per cent, ending a six-auction winning streak. Volumes were significantly higher at the auction, up 7000 tonnes from the previous auction. Whole milk powder prices saw a 2.6 per cent increase, rebounding after two consecutive auctions of losses.

The small decrease is not anticipated to have an impact on the forecast payout for dairy farmers.

The most important economic announcement of the week for New Zealand was the Quarterly Survey of Business Opinion.

Kiwis are unimpressed with the big five power companies, a survey by Consumer NZ has found.

A survey of customer satisfaction with energy providers showed the big five companies – Contact, Genesis, Mercury, Meridian and Trustpower delivered underwhelming services.

The survey found only 45 per cent of consumers said they were very satisfied with their energy retailer.

“This satisfaction rating is lower than rates we’ve found in the banking and general insurance industries, and dragged down largely by the performance of the big five,” said Consumer NZ chief executive Sue Chetwin.

“Our surveys consistently find the big players are letting the side down in the customer satisfaction stakes. This year, their proportions of very satisfied customers were all below 50 per cent.”

Redefined for living life H ow do you improve on New Zealand’s award-winning family wagon? The answer is in the detail. So, as well as a bold new look, the Santa Fe has evolved into a vehicle that is lighter, stronger and roomier than ever before.

It’s also safer, with seven airbags and advanced technology to give you sports car-like handling.

As soon as you look at the Santa Fe, you get an overwhelming impression of luxury, comfort and strength. It feels like an SUV you can trust. From its beautifully proportioned sweeping curves to the tactile feel of the door handles, everything suggests the quality of a first-class vehicle.

The thoughtfully crafted Santa Fe interior goes way beyond the space and functionality you’d expect — surrounding you with luxury and innovation, including flexible leather seating and a 7� LCD colour touch-screen multimedia system. It is also packed with innovative new features to make your drive even more enjoyable, including on Elite models, a driver’s seat that remembers your exact seating position.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allows you to safely operate your compatible phone via the central 7� touchscreen. This means you can safely stay connected, and continue to enjoy many of the great features on your phone, including getting directions, making calls, sending or receiving texts, and listening to music.

Spoilt for choice W

riting about the Highlander Limited and GT86, which both have recently had make-overs, is perhaps a classic case of comparing chalk with cheese.

For the Highlander is a large, family friendly 7-seater, while the GT86 is the sporty item you may be also be fortunate enough to have in the garage to enjoy without the family.

In saying this, I’m not suggesting you’ll need this following a family trip in the Highlander, but just because the GT86 is such a rewarding drive.

The Highlander Limited is particularly well set up within its spaciously comfortable, leather furnished cabin.

There’s an 8” audio display for sat-nav, cameras and infotainment and a drop down DVD screen to keep those in the second and third rows entertained.

As well second row of seats slide while the third row, folds for a cavernous luggage area.

While on the outside, there’s a smart new grille and other minor styling changes but under the bonnet there’s a new engine and eight-speed auto.

This new direct-injection 3.5 litre V6 engine, also used by Lexus, produces significantly more power and torque of 218kW and 350Nm respectively.

It can also run, under light loads in the Atkinson cycle, in which fuel consumption (a stated overall 9.5l/100km) and carbon emissions are reduced.

This engine and eight-speed auto are an impressively eager, but seamless, combination, and that’s in the day-to-day drive mode with the V6 quite happily spinning to its red-line.

There is a power mode, but the control for it takes a bit of finding.

Hastened through corners, the High-

lander handles in a predictable manner, given that it’s set up for ride comfort.

The speed sensitive electric steering is light, responsive enough and provides sufficient feedback.

As needed, there’s lots of grip and traction from the all-wheel-drive system and decent rubber.

All Highlanders are 5-star ANCAP safety rated and have more safety technology than before.

The Limited gets even more through a Safety Sense package.

This includes a pre-crash safety system

The Highlander Limited costs $81,490.

The GX AWD is $63,490, the GXL 2WD is $66,490 and AWD $70,490.

OK, with family duties done, you can now enjoy the GT86 sports coupe.

Of course the rationale of 86s, with their front-engine, rear-drive layout, low centre of gravity and inherent balance has always been about the thrill and the sheer fun of driving.

That rationale has gained a them a niche following, both on and off the race track.

More so perhaps on the track, for this latest version will be even more so adept

with automatic braking, high speed radar cruise control and a lane departure alert with steering assistance (some of these features which recently, both our Prime Minister and SBW may have benefited from!).

It also has front and rear parking sensors, and a panoramic camera which gives the driver a 360-degree bird’s eye view of potential obstacles.

Also there’s rear cross traffic alert and blind spot monitor.

through further fine tuning of its suspension, a track mode for the stability control, even sharper steering and handling.

The body, except for subtle changes looks pretty much as before, except perhaps for the GT’s separate, wing-like rear spoiler.

In the cabin there’s a new small steering wheel and a multi display, which shows not only engine revs (the 7000rpm redline sits at the top) but G Force, power and torque curves and also a stopwatch.

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

The six speed manual-only 86 costs $46,986, while the GT86s, with their heated black leather seats and other extras, cost $51,986 for the manual and $52,986 for the six speed auto.

Given their penchant for race tracks, the manual cars get an increase in the power to 152kW and torque of 212Nm from their 2.0-litre four cylinder direct-injection boxer engines.

They’ll now do 0-100kmh in 7.3 seconds!

And while the automatic’s power stays at 147kW, it, even when left to its own devices, still feels satisfyingly quick.

Plus its less thirsty, for its quoted, combined economy figures are 7.1 L/100kms and 8.4L/100kms for the manual.

There’s a reversing camera, hillstart assist, seven airbags, stability control and a 5-Star ANCAP safety rating.

FINALE Think of the latest Highlander Limited as a very pleasant way to comfortably, safely and effortlessly transport up to seven people, and the GT86 as being all about handling and excitement!

Sheer horsepower T

he ultra-high-performance Ford GT road car makes its Goodwood Hillclimb debut alongside the Ford Mustang GT4 race car, on show in Europe for the first time, at the 2017 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Ford Chip Ganassi Racing drivers Billy Johnson, Andy Priaulx and Harry Tincknell are taking the wheel of the 216mph Ford GT to tackle the challenging 1.16-mile Goodwood Hillclimb course. All three drivers are fresh from competing at the 2017 Le Mans 24 Hours in the sister Ford GT race car, where Priaulx, Tincknell and Pipo Derani grabbed the runner up spot in the GTE Pro Class with the #67 Ford GT during a thrilling finish.

The ultra-high-performance Ford GT brings the driving experience of the Le Mans-winning Ford GT race car to the road, using innovative technologies.

Powered up the Goodwood Hillclimb for the first time by a 3.5-litre V6 EcoBoost engine SAE rated at 647 horsepower and 550 lb.-ft. of torque in US specification, the Ford GT road car is the fastest Ford production vehicle ever.

The Ford GT’s carbon fibre construction delivers both weight savings and sleek body shapes that would not have been possible with steel or aluminium.

Your own track monster A ston Martin’s wildest-ever car – the track-only Aston Martin Vulcan – has been taken to breathtaking new extremes with a performance upgrade package developed by the luxury marque’s new performance brand, AMR. Making its public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Aston Martin Vulcan AMR Pro sports extensive aerodynamic enhancements and shortened gearing to produce

increased downforce, greater responsiveness and reduced lap times – improvements that underline its status as one of the world’s most extreme and exclusive track cars.

Built in a strictly limited run of just 24 cars, the 820BHP Aston Martin Vulcan was conceived and engineered to deliver the excitement and exceed the performance of Aston Martin’s Le Mans-winning race cars.

Over the last two years, Aston Martin Vulcan owners have received step-by-

step driver training by Aston Martin’s expert team of instructors – among them Aston Martin Racing works driver and three-time Le Mans winner, Darren Turner.

The Aston Martin Vulcan AMR Pro’s aerodynamic enhancements begin at the front-end with louvred panels added above the front wheel arches to extract high pressure air and reduce aerodynamic lift. A sizeable pair of dive planes have been added to each side of the nose to help pin the front-end to the track and the huge

front splitter has turning vanes fitted to its underside to improve steering response.

Changes to the rear are equally effective and even more dramatic, courtesy of a new rear wing.

The combined effect of these aerodynamic changes is a major increase in downforce, from the standard Aston Martin Vulcan’s 3150N to a colossal 4000N at 100mph. This compares to 3104N generated by the 2017 Le Mans winning Aston Martin Racing Vantage GTE.

■ ASHBURTON

In brief

More races, higher stakes

By GreG Jones Galloping actions resumes on the track this Friday with a feature meeting 10 race programme. The bulk funded meeting, an impressive $220,000 in stakes are on offer, gives South Island gallopers a chance to further prepare for the Grand National meeting coming in early August.

The original programme has been extended from eight races following discussions between the trainers and the Southern Programme Committee with a rating 65 distance race initially added and subsequently split into two races due to the large number of horses accepting.

Racing begins at 11.15am and concludes at 4.23pm with the sponsors for the races primarily having an agricultural contracting connection.

The day begins with two strong local hopes. Ahyum is a much improved filly that enjoys wet tracks and has the strength to match her good looks. Standrews Masonic scored well in the wet at Oamaru and can step up to this grade.

Docket is in fine form and should get the run of the race from the ace draw while Zakynthos is a talented type that can bounce back from the last disappointing effort although the 1600m is a question mark.

The second looks made for Whats Up Alf who has run a string of second placings behind some open horses lately and deserves to win.

Rawmaterial keeps performing at a high level although it is not so well in at the weights this time.

Gallant Defender is an Anderton trained runner due to show up at reasonable odds.

The third race is a combined 3 and 4-year-old event and Flying Sardine, clearly the highest rated horse in the field, is well placed at the weights and should go close to winning. The consistent Waylay has been racing strongly while Madam Libre (back in distance), Stumblin In (up in class) and Queen Serene, all have the ability to win on their best day.

Lord Sibford appears best of the males.

Suggestive Loox is a fine prospect especially if the rain stays away. A good barrier and powerful finish should have it near winning this. Heaven Knows certainly likes the moisture around and is a genuine type.

Ashburton Guardian 23

Fever looks for type Gold Fever will be chasing early black type honours in the new season. “She’s matured and getting through a little bit of work,” said Stephen Autridge, who trains with Jamie Richards.

“She’s acting as if she’s grown up and after trialling on August 15 at Te Rapa, providing we’re happy enough, she’ll contest the early season fillies’ races over 1200 metres.” Gold Fever has won three of her six starts, including the Gr.2 Matamata Breeders’ Stakes and she ran third in the Gr.1 Diamond Stakes.

Kiwis team up Harry Bull has called on a fellow New Zealander to partner William Wallace at Doomben on Saturday.

The Hunterville trainer, who operates in partnership with his father Adrian, has booked Bridget Grylls for the ride in the Brett Whalley & Co Handicap. “I think Bridget rode a couple of times for Dad about five years ago when she was an apprentice in New Zealand,” Bull said. Grylls began her apprenticeship at Awapuni with Lisa Latta and rode her first winner, Princess Lincoln, at Wanganui in June, 2012. She later transferred to Matamata trainers Ken and Bev Kelso.

Moseley hopes for win

Stumblin In is aiming for a hat-trick of wins when she contests the Gary McCormick Transport & John McCormick Spraying 3 & 4YO at Ashburton today.

Promising has drawn wide for a frontrunner but if can get across with expending too much energy it could be hard to run down. Fun Fair hasn’t had the rub of the green lately and will also be a threat.

Local trainer Bevan Wilson has two very nice in-form 3yo fillies in the competitive R75 1200m event with Zawhip perhaps having an edge over Wise Act. Black Estate is particularly effective at this trip when ridden conservatively early, while Mal D’Mour, Elusive Boxers, Killa Question and Nakyama have recent form to provide optimism for their followers.

The maiden 1400m contains a range of exposed form. Crispin impressed in its debut and is likely to have improved. Scooby is out of a lovely mare and the debut effort showed he has inherited some of the ability.

Fire Lily’s last two runs indicate a win is not far off while Tenfold is back in distance and has a significant rider chance to brighten

its chances.

The RD Petroleum Ashburton Winter Cup has attracted a field of depth and talent with each of the 11 runners having claims.

Flying Ibis was labelled by leading jockey as a real chance in higher level races and must be hard to beat. Twoznotenough is fresh but has the class and a fine record over this distance to suggest it will be a handful. Luke has won six at the distance, handles the wet and has a 3kg allowance to help. Caramac is in excellent form and is always a chance.

In race 8 Jumeirah looks well placed as it has been in great form since coming to the Didham stable and has form over this 2100m journey. Misty Trella is a useful mare and a repeat of the last effort in an arguably stronger field should see it close up. Penny Perfect impressed in its fresh up maiden win and back to a wetter track and staying trip will suit. If Skeen is left alone in front then it too has a solid chance.

The Open distance race looks

made to order for the topweight The Gordonian which has a sound record on wet tracks and despite the 60kg impost it looks a good bet. Belle Boy was a solid third in a similar race two starts ago and a decisive winner in R75 class last time. It will provide a good sight.

Come Fly With Me is an honest mare capable of a surprise and the recent hurdler Delacroix also retains enough speed on the flat to be competitive.

Londonderry Air looks to have an edge in class over the others in the last and should win. Master Karsten ran an improved race at Riccarton last start and is an obvious quinella prospect.

Darci Inn and Moby also have the ability to threaten while Locally Sauced’s last two efforts in the North Island have been better than the form reads, has previously won here and appeals as the best ‘outsider’.

Best Bet: Lononderry Air (Race 10) Roughie: Redesdale (Race 1)

Terry Moseley believes his first ride will be his best at Ashburton.

He guided Standrews Masonic to victory at Oamaru last month and he’s tipping the D’Cash fouryear-old to go close again in the opening event, the Smallbone Limited Handicap, on Friday.

Moseley will also team up with the Jack and Jo-Ann Gordon-trained Shaara in the RD Petroleum Ashburton Winter Cup Trial.

“He’s raced in a couple of open handicaps and gone well but he comes up against some pretty handy ones in that race and it will be a test for him but hopefully he can be a nice lightweight chance,” he said.

Stakes focus for mare Bjorn Baker has high hopes of the New Zealand-bred Your Way making her mark at stakes level this preparation. The Warwick Farm trainer had the daughter of Thewayyouare and Fiorenza in top form before The Championships, but illness halted her progress.

“I wanted to keep her going in the autumn, but she got a bit of a virus and we had to put her out,” Baker said. “She’s coming back in good order and if she does everything well we may even consider hitting an early spring black-type race.”

Southern sojourn the making of Waverley mare Stumblin In’s current southern sojourn is proving to be a major confidence-boosting exercise for the mare and with financial benefits for her connections.

The Waverley galloper is unbeaten on the trip and she will shoot for a hat-trick of wins when she contests the Gary McCormick Transport & John McCormick

Spraying 3 & 4YO at Ashburton today.

“She’s going really well so we’re pretty happy,” part-owner and trainer Bill Thurlow said.

“We’re just taking it a race at a time with her as to how long she stays down there.”

Stumblin In made a bright start to her career last season with a

win and a number of placings before injury halted the progress of the daughter of Makfi and the Gr.2 Travis Stakes winner Kew. “She had a shadow on her knee – it was close to a fracture – so we had to ease up and give her a long break,” Thurlow said.

The four-year-old, who has also suffered immaturity issues

in the past, has taken a few starts this season to hit peak fitness.

“It’s taken a while for her to come to form, but she’s there now,” Thurlow said.

“We took her down with the jumper, who has since come home, and Neill Ridley is looking after her.”

The jumper Thurlow is re-

ferring to is Tizza Secret, who finished in the money at both Wingatui and Timaru before his last-start third in the Hawke’s Bay Steeplechase.

“He’ll probably go back down to Christchurch – his main aim at this stage will be the Grand National,” Thurlow said.

■ TENNIS

In brief

Prize money row grows Wimbledon’s prize money row has intensified after two of the eight players who withdrew injured from singles matches re-entered as participants in the doubles tournament.

By participating in doubles matches, the players will be eligible to claim £5375 in prize money in addition to their £35,000 men’s singles first round winnings, even if they lose.

The row began after Roger Federer questioned rules which meant that players who started matches but then withdrew were still entitled to collect £35,000.

Two successive matches on Centre Court were cut short when the opponents of Federer and Novak Djokovic withdrew.

It led to accusations that some of the players knew they would not be able to complete their games but had started in order to pick up their cheques.

Players who pull out before the tournament are not entitled to the prize money.

Johanna Konta: Players had a responsibility to their fans.

But on Wednesday Feliciano Lopez, who was one of the eight who withdrew from the singles, played in the doubles, losing his match but earning himself

£10,750, which he will split with his partner.

Yesterday, Viktor Troicki, who also pulled out of his singles match, is also due to compete in

the doubles. On Wednesday other players said they had a “responsibility” to ticket holders not to enter if injured.

Discussing the withdrawals, British player Johanna Konta suggested the rules on prize money may have to change as she said players had a responsibility to their fans.

Fresh from her win on Centre Court Ms Konta said: “There needs to be a responsibility towards the ticket holders and what they are paying to see. I think it’s something that will be reassessed.

She added: “You’ve got to keep in mind that the players work very hard to be in the position they are in, but there is also a responsibility to the fans.”

Fellow Briton Heather Watson, who went through to the second round of the women’s singles on Wednesday, said: “I can’t speak for anybody else, but if my leg was broken, I’d be crawling to the next ball. That’s just me, though.”

■ OPINION

When the best are deemed not good enough

M

uch attention and fuel has been added to the fire about the selection, or lack thereof of Silver Fern legend Laura Langman.

Due to her currently plying her netballing trade in Australia, she cannot be selected for the Silver Ferns as players must play within New Zealand to be selected.

Netball New Zealand have stood by their decision as they wish to defend and keep the New Zealand league as competitive as possible, which at a glance, makes sense for the league, but not for netball as a whole.

Strong-arming players in to staying in New Zealand just doesn’t seem right. Arguably,

Jaime Pitt-MacKay SPORTS REPORTER

there is only Australia out there which offers superior netballing competition, so why stop players playing there?

It is a model that has worked well for New Zealand Cricket.

Aware that they can’t offer enough domestic cricket to keep their players happy in New Zealand, they can travel anywhere from the Big Bash in Australia, to the classic English County Cricket competitions.

And when the time comes to put on the iconic black shirt and pants, players do, because they care about the game.

You could argue rugby uses the ‘locals only’ policy, but when there is the depth and ingrained passion for something as there is for rugby in New Zealand, interest and a level of competitiveness is never an issue.

If Netball New Zealand plays their cards right, they should be able to bake their cake and eat it too.

If they can create an interest in the game from the grassroots level and upwards, people will go to the domestic competition matches.

I know people who were willing to travel from Ashburton

to watch the Mainland Tactix, who at some points this season, seemed to be playing a different game to everyone else, and it certainly wasn’t netball.

People will like netball no matter who is playing. It is fastpaced, exciting and sees more aggression than a Warehouse toys section during the Boxing Day sales.

As for the Silver Ferns, let your best players play no matter what, because when you are near the top of the mountain, you don’t try to slow yourself down.

Unless we want to keep playing second fiddle to Australia on the international scene, we need to set the benchmark with our best players playing, and that includes Laura Langman.

History on the line Carpe diem, lads. Warren Gatland has thrown down the gauntlet to his British and Irish Lions troops, saying Saturday’s Test series decider against the All Blacks is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity they can’t let slip. In what is almost certainly his last match at the Lions helm, Gatland insisted neither he nor his players considered the Test career-defining. Yet he seemed to backtrack when pressed, admitting there was plenty of pressure on all parties to perform given the team is in a position to do what none of their forebears have done since 1971 – win a series on Kiwi soil. - NZME

Farewell drink?

Western Force will invite Melbourne Rebels players to join them for a beer after they lock horns in tonight’s Super Rugby clash. Australian Rugby Union (ARU) will cull either the Force or the Rebels ahead of next season, with the hovering axe set to add extra intrigue to the Perth game.

But rather than take out their frustrations on each other, Force and Rebels players have portrayed a sense of unity this week. – NZN

Horn keen on rematch Jeff Horn has dared Manny Pacquiao to activate his rematch clause as the Filipino great continues to protest against his WBO welterweight championship defeat. Pacquiao has backed calls from a Philippines government department for a full review into what he described as an “unfair” unanimous decision against him in Sunday’s Battle of Brisbane.

Horn, meanwhile, is continuing to celebrate his famous victory and was treated to a ticker tape parade yesterday, with thousands lining Brisbane’s Queen St Mall to catch a glimpse of the country’s newest sporting hero.

Tour boycott Australian cricket’s bitter pay dispute is no closer to resolution after players took the unprecedented step of refusing to tour. The Australia A tour to South Africa was scrapped yesterday with cricket hierarchy and the players’ union again trading barbs.

The players, through their Australian Cricketers’ Association (ACA), squarely blamed Cricket Australia (CA) for their refusal to tour South Africa.

■ RUGBY

Illness causes re-shuffle Rieko Ioane’s illness this week has forced an extra re-shuffle for the All Blacks, including a first test start for fullback Jordie Barrett, but the good news for Steve Hansen and in particular Ben Smith is that the Highlanders captain has been cleared of his concussion problems.

Hansen revealed today that Smith’s recurring concussion symptoms this year were actually a manifestation of an inner ear problem for which he is taking medication.

As a result, Smith, who was last week ruled out of the Wellington test and Saturday’s series decider at Eden Park against the British & Irish Lions, has travelled from his Dunedin home to Auckland to train with the All Blacks today.

“He’s been cleared of concussion,” Hansen said. “He wasn’t knocked out. What he does have though is an inner ear malfunction which is causing him to have a bit of vertigo and dizzi-

ness. That’s now cleared.”

Smith will resume his training but Jordie Barrett, only 20 and in his first test start after making his debut against Manu Samoa three weeks ago, will wear the No15 jersey, in what is a huge vote of confidence in the youngster.

“Do we have confidence?”, asked Hansen. “Yeah we do, we wouldn’t have picked him if we didn’t. And he comes from fairly good stock, I’m picking he’ll go all right.

“He’s a pretty cool, calm and collected kid. We wouldn’t have put him there otherwise. He’s a young man who whatever happens on Saturday, it’s just the beginning, he’s just going to get better and better.”

Hansen added: “He’s very good in the air and the Lions will give him a lot of ball to catch. He’s a good defender, he just needs to get his positioning right and we’ve worked hard on that with him.

“He’s a very skillful rugby player, I’ve got no doubt about that.

He played very well for the Hurricanes against the Lions and we’re excited.”

Hansen is excited too about seeing Ngani Laumape start his first test. Laumape and Anton Lienert-Brown represent a very youthful and inexperienced midfield, with 13 caps between them, but the selectors are prepared to put their faith in players who have enough ability to be selected in the squad in the first place.

Waisake Naholo has been cleared of concussion following the defeat in Wellington last weekend but is being given an extra week to recover, with Israel Dagg starting on the right wing, and Julian Savea starting on the left in Ioane’s place.

Of Laumape, Hansen said: “Ngani we see as the guy going forward in our selection process... his overall game is we

think slightly better than Mala’s, that’s why we picked him in the first place.”

It will be Savea’s first involvement in this Lions test series.

“He’s not a bad replacement - 53 test matches and 46 tries... and that’s why we have confidence in doing it,” Hansen said.

All Blacks team to play the Lions at Eden Park on Saturday night: 15. Jordie Barrett 14. Israel Dagg 13. Anton Lienert-Brown 12. Ngani Laumape 11. Julian Savea 10. Beauden Barrett 9. Aaron Smith 8. Kieran Read (c) 7. Sam Cane 6. Jerome Kaino 5. Sam Whitelock 4. Brodie Retallick 3. Owen Franks 2. Codie Taylor 1. Joe Moody Reserves: Nathan Harris, Wyatt Crockett, Charlie Faumuina, Scott Barrett, Ardie Savea, TJ Perenara, Aaron Cruden, Malakai Fekitoa

Lions name unchanged team for decider The British & Irish Lions have named an unchanged starting line-up and bench for the third test at Eden Park on Saturday.

Sam Warburton will again lead the 23 who secured victory in the 2nd Test in Wellington – the first time since 1993 that the Lions have kept the same XV for consecutive Tests.

Head Coach Warren Gatland said: “It is not very often on a Lions Tour that you get to pick the same 23 for the following game.

“We felt we should reward the players for the result and the courage that they showed

in coming from behind from 18-9 down, digging themselves out of a hole and then finishing strongly in that last 10 to 15 minutes.

“There are some players who are pretty disappointed not to be selected and I understand that. It is what you would expect from competitive top athletes, they back themselves.

But we have stressed all along that this is not all about the 23 players but about everyone in the squad – they have put their disappointment behind them and are helping the match day

squad prepare the best they can for the Test match.

“We are all aware of how big this game is and we are expecting a backlash from the All Blacks. But the pleasing thing about the 2nd Test is just how strong we were in the last 10 or 15 minutes, in terms of energy and enthusiasm so we still feel there is another level in us.

“This is a huge chance for this group of players to show their abilities and reap the benefits of the work everyone has put in.

It is their chance to make Lions history.”

British & Irish Lions 15. Liam Williams - Scarlets, Wales 14. Anthony Watson - Bath Rugby, England 13. Jonathan Davies - Scarlets, Wales 12. Owen Farrell - Saracens, England 11. Elliot Daly - Wasps, England 10. Johnny Sexton - Leinster, Ireland 9. Conor Murray - Munster, Ireland 8. Taulupe Faletau - Bath Rugby, Wales 7. Sean O’Brien - Leinster, Ireland 6.

Mako Vunipola - Saracens, England

If this is the defining test in Steve Hansen’s career as All Blacks coach, it’s news to him.

Sitting in front of a large media presence, some of whom might have been on high alert for suggestions of nerves or pressure or subtle digs or otherwise at opposite Warren Gatland, Hansen instead spoke with authority and humour for 25 minutes.

He’s looking forward to this series decider against the British & Irish Lions at Eden Park, an attitude reinforced later by six players, including the Barrett brothers, Jordie and Beauden, who will be starting a test together for the first time.

As he said, this job comes with a lot expert advisors, but he expects that and in fact believes that’s why the All Blacks are as good as they are.

There were no issues with the Lions physical, perhaps over-physical off-the-ball tactics as suggested by an inquisitor.

The stakes are high, obviously, but Hansen’s demeanour set the tone for his players’ appearances afterwards, and hopefully for him, his team’s performance on Saturday.

It is after all, not a life or death situation, he said. It’s just a game and the All Blacks will learn from it whether they win, lose or draw. Rest assured, though, he will be putting everything into this week to get the right result as he sees it.

“It’s not the first time we’ve lost,” Hansen said. “I’ve read a lot of stories this week – you’d think the All Blacks had never lost a game and that the sky’s falling in. Every week there’s pressure.

“I’ve said this before – every week we’re expected to win and win well.

You’ve got to walk towards it and at the end of the day life tells you we’re only playing a game. Real pressure is when you spend half an hour giving someone CPR and trying to save their life and when that doesn’t work telling their children or their father or their mother that ‘sorry, we haven’t been able to save them’.

That’s real pressure, we’re just playing a game of rugby.

“When you look at it what are the outcomes? We could win it, we could lose it, we could draw it. But we’ll be a better team for it. We’re a young side in the infancy of where we going. Is there any more pressure this week? No because we have to win to win the series. Just enjoy it and look forward to it and that’s what we’re doing.”

Hansen has full faith in 20-yearold Jordie Barrett at fullback and 24-year-old Ngani Laumape at second-five. Both are starting their first test and will be told to back themselves.

It’s an attitude that Hansen has always taken for himself. “You just come to expect it,” he said of the constant well-meaning advice.

“The job comes with a lot of advisors. And you enjoy it. If you didn’t have those people who were passionate and keen to tell you what they thought about it, you probably wouldn’t have the All Blacks.”

Team New Zealand Peter Burling and Grant Dalton hold the Auld Mug during the parade to welcome home the crew.

■ AMERICA’S CUP

Dalton has no fear of losing key TNZ members Team New Zealand CEO Grant Dalton says dates for the next America’s Cup will be finalised in the next few weeks and he is confident he’ll retain all key staff for the event.

Dalton, who along with Emirates Team Zealand will celebrate their America’s Cup victory with a parade in Auckland yesterday, revealed on Newstalk ZB’s Mike Hosking Breakfast that plans for the 36th America’s Cup will be rolled out soon.

“The protocol that will govern the 36th America’s Cup defence in New Zealand is written and it’s signed. We want to revisit it a little with our challenger of record in Luna Rossa and just check in the light of the win that everything is as we’d like it to be,” Dalton told Hosking.

“You will see in the next couple of weeks, we’ll release dates at a minimum and then pretty much roll it out after that.”

Dalton said Wellington will hold an event to celebrate Team New Zealand’s victory over Oracle Team USA in Bermuda next Tuesday, and plans for events in Christchurch and Dunedin are under way.

Dalton told Hosking that he isn’t concerned about members of the team being poached by rival syndicates.

“It’s a very very strong, tight team and we all get on really well. There’s no politics.

There’s no egos. And so it’s a team that everyone wants to be at. But you can’t rely on that if someone waves a giant chequebook.

Within our protocol there will be an element of nationality, so when you roll that out, it’s not impossible but it will be difficult for members to go to another team.

“We’re the defender. We’re already in the Cup. We have a great design team. Why would you want to go?”

Dalton told Hosking he has not had discussions with the government about how the America’s Cup will be funded.

“I’ve had no discussions with anybody yet. I’m sure that they, in the same way the parade has been organised around us, okay this is a much bigger deal with the infrastructure, but there will be discussions going on.

“We’re incredibly grateful to the government for the $5m, which is now approved.

But the infrastructure discussions haven’t started yet. They have to start soon because we have an event to get ready for,” Dalton said.

“I know how to run a campaign but this will be a new area for me. I have some idea of what we need and what it takes to put these bases down but I can’t answer that - that’s a discussion with the government and with the council.”

■ BASKETBALL

Southern Sharks sign Flavell The Southland Sharks have taken an early and key step in their planning for the 2018 National Basketball League by re-signing Head Coach Judd Flavell for a further two years.

Being able to retain Flavell, who is also an assistant coach at the New Zealand Breakers, was a “no-brainer” according to Sharks general manager Jill Bolger.

“Judd has been in charge of our team for two seasons now and it has all worked perfectly from our point of view. He has the

respect of both the players and the Sharks as his employer, and this is demonstrated in the quality of player he has been able to bring to Invercargill.

“We are fortunate that we are able to make Invercargill and the Sharks an attractive option for someone like Judd,” she added.

Bolger said that Flavell has fully immersed himself in the Southland Basketball community and culture and works closely with Dan Peck, identifying and supporting young players.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Today will be all right. In the English-language sense of it, this phrase covers a wide variety of meanings (many of which will apply): “just ok”; “spectacular”; “here’s a counter offer”; “agreed”; and “yes.”

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You can’t see time, although, if you wait long enough, there will be quite a lot of physical evidence that it was here. To experience time more vividly, positively and fully, plant a seed.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): There’s someone you want to know better, but you’re not sure how you should approach. Better to repel someone by being who you are than attract them by being who you’re not.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): A loved one will figure into your work scenario and may be the key that unlocks the next professional level. Even so, ultimately it’s your work and your being that will make the situation great for all.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Whom should I know? Many don’t ask such questions, out of shyness or a lack of foresight. But you realise that in order to move and shake things, you need to get to know the current movers and shakers.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’ve already come far in life with emotional development and maturity beyond your years. With all you’ll gain over the next three weeks, you’ll rise to yet another level of wisdom.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’re creative. You don’t need to have the best things to make the best of things. Also, many who already have the best can’t see it. You’ll help them see it. If you make them a little jealous, it can’t be helped.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You’ll become so immersed in these adventures that you’ll find there is no longer room for the anxiety and fear you once felt. You’ll channel your energy into exciting new endeavours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You enjoy getting quality attention, and you know how to hold and play with that, too. You also cherish your private time. Today you’ll prefer to recharge in solitude.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): There’s no time to waste in anger. Forgive quickly; forget easily. There is so much fun and play to be had! Tonight sees you laughing until your cheeks hurt.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Just because they ask doesn’t mean you have to answer. Why do they want to know? It’s not like you’re applying for a security clearance or running for office today. Be as mysterious as you want.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Liking yourself may not be enough today. You’ve plenty of reasons to be madly, deeply in love. Anyway, what would you do differently in that case? How would you advocate for yourself?

Sport Munster called up Queensland have picked debutant Cameron Munster at five-eighth ahead of Michael Morgan for next Wednesday’s rugby league State of Origin series decider. Playmaker Morgan will move from the bench to centre for the Suncorp Stadium clash with NSW after the Maroons were forced to fill gaps left by injured stars Johnathan Thurston and Darius Boyd.

Coach Kevin Walters finalised the line-up yesterday after only naming his squad alphabetically three days earlier. Munster’s selection in the halves completes an all-Melbourne spine for the Maroons.

The Mid Canterbury Combined Schools’ 1st XV will have to have to be firing on all cylinders if they are going to get a result against high flying Nelson College this weekend.

Aiming to end on high note

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

With only a handful of games left in the season, Mid Canterbury Combined Schools’ 1st VX co-coach Gary McCann is already looking towards 2018, but has not given up on claiming a few more wins before the final whistle blows.

It has been a tough two weeks for the combined side who had two tough trips away from home, playing St Bede’s College last week and St An-

drew’s College the week before.

Both games resulted in loses, with the combined side losing 38-17 to St Bede’s, and 57-15 to St Andrew’s.

“There were some really good points but the opposition were just too big and strong for our young fellas,” McCann said.

“We felt we put up a fair enough fight but it just wasn’t enough.”

This weekend, the combined side will take one of the larger

key players out, but we have been showing signs of brilliant footy.”

With five games remaining in the season, McCann identified the fixtures against Burnside High School and St Thomas of Canterbury College.

“We’ve still got dedicated boys that will be here next season who are committed to rugby so we have to look for next season, but we must finish on a high note this season,” he said.

road-trips in the UC Championship when they hop in the van to face Nelson College.

Nelson College will be flying high after winning the Quadrangular Tournament in their own backyard, and McCann recognises the challenge.

“We know we are against one of the best so we will just have to focus on the job at hand,” he said.

“We’ve had some pretty heavy growing pains these past few weeks with a few of our

WRC Rally NZ chances get a boost The chances of Rally New Zealand returning to the World Rally Championship calendar next year appear to have grown even more since the weekend.

New Zealand and Croatia had been tipped as candidates to join an expanded 15-event calendar with two of the four manufacturers pushing for New Zealand’s inclusion and two wishing for Croatia to join the championship.

But safety concerns at last week’s Rally Poland could pave

the way for both countries to appear on next year’s calendar.

Poland was already on a final warning around safety concerns prior to this year’s event.

Autosport is reporting teams have called for the event to be scrapped from next year’s calendar after more issues this year.

Some of the main concerns were spectators ignoring marshals and standing too close to where the cars are travelling at high-speed, spectator cars driving on live rally stages and a fire

engine meeting a rally car head on at a junction where there was enough space for the car to safely avoid an accident.

“There have been some safety problems throughout the rally and we have to now investigate and then draw our conclusions,” FIA rally director Jarmo Mahonen told Autosport.

“The fire truck incident is being investigated locally, this was not something related to the rally. But how could this happen?

“My information is that he

nearly ran over the policeman.

“We were very lucky nothing happened, but this does not belong to rallying.”

Teams are calling for the event to be axed.

“This is incredible, unbelievable that this can happen,” Hyundai team principal Michel Nandan told the magazine.

“The rally has been done here a long time, this is not their first rally and to see this is actually quite frightening.”

Back for TRS? Impressive racer Marcus Armstrong is likely to return to New Zealand for this summer’s Toyota Racing Series.

The 16-year-old, who was the leading Kiwi in the single seater series earlier this year, has been racing Formula 4 in Europe over winter while also attending the Ferrari Driver Academy (FDA) in Italy. Although he’s yet to lock-in a drive, Armstrong is hopeful that everything will fall into place.

“I would love to be back,” he said.

“It was a fantastic experience and I really enjoyed it.

Bright milestone Supercars driver Jason Bright will celebrate his 250th round start at the Reid Park facility in Townsville this weekend for two 200km races.

Bright’s team Prodrive Racing Australia is determined to get back in the fight at the front of the field. The Ford team have fallen well behind the battle at the front between the DJR Team Penske crew of Kiwis Fabian Coulthard and Scott McLaughlin and the Red Bull Holden Racing Team duo Jamie Whincup and Shane van Gisbergen.
