Methven suffers lack of identity BY SUSAN SANDYS

Methven suffers from apathy and a lack of identity, says a consultant who has drafted a proposal to inspire change in the town. “There are no visible initiatives in place to market or promote Methven,” said Peter Summers of the Methvenbased FnB Group in his proposal for the Methven Community Board. There was also no clear vision for the future of the town, and “a strong apathetic view held amongst all stakeholders towards each other”. “There is no indication that anyone is willing to initiate a leadership role to drive change,” Summers said.

“Methven suffers from a lack of identity.” Opportunities presented were to initiate leadership, establish a vision for the future, influence community and business sector engagement and deliver real actions to effect change. Methven Community Board chairman Dan McLaughlin is hoping the plan and its next stage of community consultation get to the heart of what Methven needs to do to promote itself and drive economic growth. He said while some would find the plan “harsh”, he believed it was an unavoidable fact that tourism in the town needed direction. And while most businesses were doing well, there was a need

for getting everyone together and moving forward. The board approved $4200 of discretionary funding at its six-weekly meeting on Monday, to enact the community engagement and marketing campaign proposals in the plan, entitled A Proposal to Ignite Change. McLaughlin said following through on these would be a good extension of the Our Place survey undertaken by the Ashburton District Council, and previous community consultation undertaken by the board.

Methven suffers lack of identity

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE

Secrets to students’ success By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Maintaining her willpower, spending “a lot” of time at her desk, and keeping track of everything in a notebook – that’s the recipe for success for Ashburton College’s Samantha McArthur. The Year 13 student managed to both excel in her head girl duties throughout the year, and scoop up an impressive array of silverware at the college prizegiving on Monday – including the coveted Dux award. McArthur’s haul included awards for music, German, chemistry, history and general excellence, along with a leadership award, Dux and two scholarships. Despite also taking out Top Scholar awards in Year 11 and 12, McArthur said this year’s success came as somewhat of a surprise. “I wasn’t really expecting it because it’s been a very busy year,” she said. “I think the hardest part of this year has been taking the time out for study.” Her secret for keeping on top of things? McArthur said she is a “big believer” in carrying a notebook everywhere to keep track of assignments, due dates, anything else worth following up. “You could probably describe me as hyper-organised.” McArthur’s scholarships will set her up for studies at Otago University next year. She will be pursuing a conjoint Bachelor of Law and Bachelor of Arts, majoring in German, and has secured a place in her first choice hall – Carrington College. “Law’s definitely the direction I want to go in, and probably from a more international angle,” she said. “I think the main reason I chose law is because I like working with people a lot.” As she heads towards her final NCEA exams, McArthur is confident that she has put in enough work and everything should go well. “I guess I’ve just got to keep focused now,” she said. Runner-up to Dux and winner of the Proxime Accessit was Kirsten Clarke, who also took home an impressive total of 10 awards. Prizgiving lists, P10-13

From P1 The council’s Our Place survey on ratepayer spend as part of the long-term plan attracted 83 responses from Methven and 314 ideas. They included the town having its own accident and emergency department and youth council, public transport, support for young children and their families, a dog park, skate park, new entertainment centres such as a swimming pool, increasing promotion of the town and improving the Mt Hutt Bike Park, better roading and increased recycling bins. A brainstorming workshop at the Methven Heritage Centre in May, held by the board as a follow up to a national community board conference in the town, attracted about 20 people. Participants came up with a wide range of potential improvement ideas, including creating rural apartments for retiring baby boomers, improving internal and external transport, marketing via social media, having better support for businesses and improving the town as a family destination. The board survey undertaken previously had 157 responses. There was support for development of a skate park, and for events already held in the town such as the lights festival. There were ideas for new events, such as night markets, fireworks and a wine and food festival. McLaughlin expected the community engagement to be held as the first phase of the new proposal would be mainly via social and traditional media channels, and a pop-up shop in Methven.

■ METHVEN COMMUNITY BOARD

Methven looking trim after complaints By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Lawns in Methven’s parks and reserves have been mowed into tip-top shape after residents complained. The Ashburton District Council took prompt action after Methven Community Board members told them about residents’ concerns. The council changed both its personnel and machinery on the job, and amped up its mowing schedule. “Parks and open spaces team should be able to deliver a better level of service at no extra cost,” department manager David Askin acknowledged to Methven Community Board members at their six-weekly meeting on Monday. “Since the new regime the visual appearances of the areas have improved,” he said. Mowing throughout the busy growth period was now on a weekly basis, whereas in the past there could be up to three weeks between mows. Councillor and board member Liz McMillan said

AMAZING

the town was now looking great, and it had shone during two recent big events of the Methven Rodeo and a national rugby final. Parks and reserves in the town include at Camrose Estates, where a new playground is being planned. Askin said there was no update on playground equipment for the area as yet, and a landscape plan had yet to be undertaken. There was discussion at the meeting about improving Chambers Park by stopping cars parking up on grass near a skate ramp, and replacing seats and installing a picnic table. The town skate park was also on the agenda, and McMillan said, as a spokesperson for skate park developers KidzMethven, that the council lease had been signed and a resource consent was being processed. However, the latter could not be signed off until plans were submitted. KidzMethven was now revamping its former skate park plans for the site on Bank Street.

Bee swarms can crop up anywhere – but you needn’t fear.

Got a bee swarm? Call a beekeeper By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

A 10 kilogram swarm of buzzing bees isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But with swarming season under way for another year, beekeepers are urging Mid Cantabrians to remember the colonies are a harmless natural phenomenon – and nothing to get buzzed off about. Bee swarms appear throughout spring each year, when honey bees flee their hives to look for a new home. It can result in tens of thousands of bees descending on a single fencepost or tree branch for an overnight stop. Though swarms can look formidable, Geraldine-based beekeeper Jas-

every kilo is about 10,000 bees,” he said. Bees migrating to a new home also face the threat of becoming infected with disease and virus. If you’re inclined to try and tackle a bee swarm yourself, McDonald recommends still seeking the help of a beekeeper. “We had an incident recently where an amateur beekeeper tried to remove a swarm and hundreds ended up left behind.” Beekeepers are equipped with protective suits and specialist carry-boxes to transfer the bees to a suitable new home or hive. Beekeepers can be found on the Facebook page Swarm Collection South/Mid Canterbury.

pur McDonald said the best course of action is to “just leave them alone,” and get in touch with a beekeeper who will remove the swarm safely. “Make sure you ring a beekeeper – not an exterminator, as they aren’t actually harmful,” he said. Reports of a bee swarm arson in Auckland recently hit headlines, with thousands of bees found singed to death. “It’s pretty silly – you just need to leave them alone,” McDonald said. The locations where swarms settle are “pretty random,” and can vary in size from two or three kilograms to quadruple that size. “They can be up to eight, 10 kilos … and that’s a lot when you think that

In brief

New violin dream closer to realisation BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Violinist Emily Dodd has been given a big boost to her goal of buying her own instrument after receiving a $700 Ashburton Musical Club scholarship. “I have been saving up for one,” said the 17-year-old from Hinds. She is now a lot closer to her goal of at least $2000. The Geraldine High School graduate is currently hiring a violin as she fulfils her musical dreams. Last year she passed the Grade 8 exam, and she has played with her school orchestra as well as the Timaru Youth Orchestra. She plans to do some musical papers while at Otago University, and continue violin playing and maybe do some teaching throughout a gap year next year. Ever since she was a child living in England she had loved violins and the music they make. Her mum had been given some of the instruments, and it was seeing these in the house each day which inspired her to want to learn. The family moved to New Zealand when Emily was six. “I just kept pestering mum un-

Uncertainty over EV station BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Disagreement between the Ashburton District Council and EA Networks has allegedly thrown a question mark over Mid Canterbury’s third electric vehicle (EV) charging station. EA Networks has installed stations in Ashburton and Rakaia and plans to install a third in Methven. Ashburton District Council community relations manager Vincie Billante told Methven Community Board members at their six-weekly meeting on Monday that there had been a failure to reach agreement over digging up an area to get cables to the

quest to dig across Methven Railway Reserve land to get power to the planned EV charge site, which was to be in two angle parks near

the reserve’s public toilets off Main Street. McLaughlin planned to talk to EA Networks about the issue, and he believed other sites in the town could be considered. “We don’t want to get left behind in an electric vehicle world,” he said. “It’s the future, they are going to be everywhere shortly.” EA Networks commercial manager Jeremy Adamson was unaware of the disagreement when contacted by the Guardian. It remained EA Networks’ goal to install a station in Methven, and he was chasing up with the project manager to get to the bottom of the issue.

A man who built a fence blocking his neighbours’ million-dollar views has lost an appeal against having to pay legal costs. David Walmsley put up a 4m-high, 11m-long fence on his exclusive Maida Vale Rd property in Roseneath, Wellington, using a legal technicality to gain council permits. Eighteen months and two court cases later, the Environment Court ordered the structure be taken down and the Walmsleys pay $72,500 in costs to Peter and Sylvia Aitchison. The Walmsleys have taken the battle over costs to court for a second appeal. In a judgment released yesterday by the Court of Appeal, Justice Helen Winkelmann said the judges had concluded a second appeal should not be granted. - NZME

House in ﬂames One person has been injured after a house in Mt Wellington erupted into flames yesterday. A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said three fire crews were sent to the Panorama Rd fire at 2.30pm. An ambulance was also sent to the scene as there was a report of an occupant with smoke inhalation. “It is a 100sq m house that was fully involved in fire when crews first arrived. The spokesman said the house suffered serious damage. He said people were in the house when the fire started but they all managed to escape. A witness to the fire said when he arrived the house was smoking heavily and then erupted into flames. - NZME

Black-billed gull chick

Space at a premium along Ashburton River Competition for real estate on the edge of the Ashburton River mouth is hot at this time of the year. Beyond the four-wheel drivers and white-baiters, keen bird watchers might spy a family of rare black billed gulls or terns hatching their young on river mouth’s small shingle islands. For the last two years volunteers from the Hakatere community and Ashburton Forest and Bird have been working with Environment Canterbury staff to erect around 1.5km of fences to remind people there are critically endangered birds nesting there. With around 8,800 black-billed gulls and 2,500 white-fronted terns calling the Ashburton River mouth home, the site has been identified as one of the most important river habitats for shore birds in New Zealand. Environment Canterbury is conducting a year-long monitoring programme to help protect braided river birds, a key priority of the Ashburton Zone Committee. fb.com/canterburywater

Mamma Mia cast list confirmed BY KATIE TODD

When the smash-hit musical Mamma Mia hits the Ashburton stage next year, it will be with a bumper cast boasting some of the district’s finest stage talent. Variety Theatre Ashburton, yesterday, confirmed their cast list for the popular musical after a massive weekend assessing well over 50 auditionees in which the level of talent on offer was high. The cast will be headed by Heather McFarlane who will play the role of Donna. McFarlane was on stage in Ashburton earlier this year when she played Morticia in The Addams Family. Christchurch’s Miriam Abigail von Voorthuizen will play the role

of Donna’s daughter Sophie. Male leads for the show have been given to Aaron Boyce (Sam), Chris Woods (Harry), Brent Gray (Bill) and Luke Glendining will play the part of Sophie’s fiancé, Sky in a line-up of seasoned and experienced men. The popular roles of Donna’s former bandmates have fallen to Kate Galbraith (Tanya) and Cherie Livingstone (Rosie) while Sophie’s best friends, Ali and Lisa will be played by Michaela George and Murran Buller respectively. Other main roles in the show will be played by Shannyn Miller (Pepper) and Toby Lee (Eddie). The auditions included a singing performance on Saturday, and a music and movement workshop on Sunday.

■ HOMEGROWN GARDEN TOUR

Gardens attract record crowd BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The biennial Homegrown Garden Tour has continued to grow in its success, luring visitors by the hundreds on Saturday. Around 500 people descended on Mayfield to peruse four meticulously prepared gardens in full spring flush, then enjoy a spring fete under the sun. “It’s the most people we’ve ever had,” said events spokesperson Rebecca Whillans. “It was a really successful, really beautiful day, and the sun just made all the difference.” On show were Catherine and Hamish McCormick’s diverse Manaton garden, Erin and Kevin McNab’s tranquil, landscaped Stonelea, Nuala and Rob Ewer’s Olde Manse Garden and Victoria and Ben Johnson’s country garden, Barcoo Estate. The fete, also held at Barcoo Estate, offered a 50-stall array of food, homewares, clothing, gifts, crafts and plants grown by the playcentre. Whillans said the funds raised from the tour would be invested in improvements to the Mayfield Playcentre, as well as helping it to operate for the next two years. “The fete stalls ended up selling out of food, and the feedback was great … there were a lot of comments that it was well organised, which was lovely,” Whillans said. She said the gardens were a “real credit to their owners”. “The gardens were just glorious … each one looked magnificent.”

Pranks mark seniors’ last day of school BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

As 13 years of education draw to a close for seniors at Mid Canterbury colleges, an inevitable tradition has reemerged. End of year pranks were under way at both Ashburton College and Mount Hutt College on Monday as the Year 13 students marked their last school day. While pranks around the country have hit national headlines for infuriating principals and “going too far”, Mount Hutt College principal John Schreurs said his Year 13s decision to camp on the school field in the cold “showed dedication to the school”. The students also adorned buildings with Shrek references and photos, taped up entrances, and posted signage indicating the college had been renamed Shrek’s Swamp. According to Schreurs, students were also helpful after the fun was over. “They helped remove the obstructions to the entrances and tidied up.” Students at Ashburton College partook in traditional cross-dressing, with girls and boys swapping uniforms for the day, and many arming themselves with water guns. The trees in the college entrance were adorned with toilet paper, while the field became a temporary carpark. Past pranks at Ashburton College have included filling the principal’s office with balloons, blocking the staffroom entrance with dozens of cups filled with water, turning the chessboard into a temporary carpark and setting up a sign advising that the school was for sale. Mt Hutt College was also listed on TradeMe in 2010, and last year a group of students rode tractors to their final day of school.

The Blue Top Walkers were booted off a public bus after being accused by the bus driver for being too loud.

Elderly group ‘acted like animals’ Auckland Transport is calling “unacceptable” an incident in which a group of elderly walkers were booted off an Auckland bus after being accused of “acting like animals”. The eight walkers – aged between 72 to 79 years – have been left traumatised after a bus driver suddenly pulled over on a journey from the city’s waterfront to Henderson on Sunday and refused to take them any further. He allegedly told the group they were speaking so raucously he couldn’t concentrate on the road. At one point the driver allegedly stormed down the back of the bus where the party, fresh from a walking trip exploring Waiheke Island, sat and launched an unprovoked tirade at the elderly passengers, accusing them of acting like idiots and demanding they sit in silence. Walker Ellen Holliday said the party of four men and four women – known as the Blue Top Walkers – were singled out by the driver of the near-empty bus twice. Auckland Transport spokesman James Ireland said the treatment of passengers demonstrated in the incident was “unacceptable” and said AT was investigating. “Auckland Transport has spoken to the bus operator who are investigating this and will be meeting with the driver.” After berating the group for their behaviour, the driver had then insisted they exit the bus on Great North Rd, leaving them stranded well short of their Henderson destination. Holliday said the driver had initially pulled up outside Sky City and waved his arms at the group seated at the back of the bus and again near the Auckland City Mission.

When the group asked what was wrong the bus driver stormed to the back of the bus and said: “You are all acting like animals and this sounds like a fish market. You must stop talking so I can concentrate.” Holliday said the walkers were silent for a time but decided it was too absurd and began their conversation about their outing. Not long after the driver pulled over and switched off the ignition and refused to restart until the pensioner group got off the bus. When asked what the problem was the driver accused the group of being drunk and unruly and said “he couldn’t understand us because we came from a different country”. Holliday flatly denied the accusations of drunkenness. “He said we’d been drinking and we were acting like idiots. “The strongest thing we had to drink all day was two cups of coffee.” She said the bus was held up for 10 minutes during the stand-off. The group decided to get off the bus apologising to fellow passengers. Three others got off in sympathy. Holliday said the group managed to get home on the next bus to Henderson. She said the episode had upset the walking group. “Everyone is traumatised by the incident. We couldn’t sleep,” she said. The group immediately filed complaints against the driver with Auckland Transport. A spokeswoman from the bus company, Pavlovich Coachlines, said she couldn’t comment on what was an “internal disciplinary process”. “I understand the customers are in communication with Auckland Transport.” - NZME

Midwife’s registration cancelled A former midwife who defrauded the Ministry of Health of more than $357,000 by creating false records for five women and 120 babies has had her registration cancelled. Last year Hamilton midwife Pania Lee Nin, 44, admitted to and was sentenced to two years and four months imprisonment on two representative charges of making or obtaining by deception a pecuniary advantage. The court found that Nin falsely created records for two women and 55 babies that did not exist to gain $151,080 of payments from the Ministry of Health between April 28, 2008 and September 30, 2011. In September 2014, she moved to Brisbane where she submitted more claims for payments totalling $206,059.09 by falsely

creating records for another three women and 65 babies that did not exist up until December 2015. The Ministry of Health began an investigation into her claims for payment last year and found she did not have an annual practising certificate and had been submitting claims while living in Brisbane. When interviewed by the Ministry of Health Nin admitted she contacted the National Health Index Services at the Ministry of Health and obtained National Health Index numbers for non-existent mothers and babies in order to make payment claims. She also admitted she did not pay GST to Inland Revenue on any of those claims. Nin said she did not know why she did it and that she spent the money on “living costs”. - NZME

OUR VIEW

A town of more than just snow Matt Markham

EDITOR

t rests on its laurels of being one of the most successful ski resort towns in New Zealand but it would appear that isn’t enough for Methven. In fact, a report presented to the Methven Community Board this week revealed that nothing is being done to promote the town. Conducted by FnB Group, it was scathing in its assessment of the promotion and marketing of the ski resort town. And as a Methven resident, it’s hard not to agree with what was reported. When it’s good, Methven is a great wee town. But when it’s quiet, it can feel a bit a ghost town. It goes from a busy, bustling hive of activity during the winter months to a quiet, sleepy state when summer rolls around. That makes it incredibly hard for local businesses to keep going during the warmer days and puts even more pressure on them to perform, when the mountain is open, to try and counteract it. But that’s not how it should be. Within a short drive of Methven there’s that much for the casual observer to see and do that it’s not funny. From mountain walks to jet boat rides and tours through the heart of the mainland – there is literally something to appease every kind of appetite. But unless the tourist or thrill seeker knows it’s there what’s the point in doing it? What was good to see from the report was that there appear to be positive moves being put in place to try and address the situation immediately. Opportunities presented were to initiate leadership, establish a vision for the future, influence community and business sector engagement and deliver real actions to effect change. But this shouldn’t be seen as a stop-gap measure. What is implemented needs to be permanent and successful and not something thought up on a whim to try and tick the required boxes. Methven is a bit of a hidden gem in the Ashburton District’s make up. A gem that is on offer for the world to see, but a gem that fades once the skis and snowboards have been put into storage. And that needs to change.

Opinion www.guardianonline.co.nz

Flexing their political muscles as opposition Claire TreveTT

ational had promised it would flex its muscle as a large opposition party, but Labour probably wasn’t expecting it to happen quite so soon – or quite so audaciously. It came seconds after the MPs were sworn in – a ceremony replete with bonhomie and bipartisan good spirits. But shadow leader of the house Simon Bridges had been quietly counting as the MPs went up and found the government parties wanting. They were at least five short with NZ First leader Winston Peters and Trade Minister David Parker on the way to Apec as well as two other Labour MPs and a Green MP away. Just as the vote to elect Trevor Mallard as speaker was to be held, Bridges asked if MPs who were not yet sworn in could vote. Panic ensued. Bridges strode around with his most very serious face on. There were mutterings about National putting Anne Tolley up for speaker rather than letting Mallard get it uncontested – just as Labour had done with Mallard when David Carter was elected speaker back in 2008. Only National might have actually succeeded. Gerry Brownlee – a former leader of the house – observed they could go ahead with the vote “it just might not be the result you’re expecting”. Mallard’s face turned grey. There were hushed consultations with leader of the house Chris Hipkins. Hipkins scurried from Bridges and Gerry Brownlee to prime minister Jacinda

Ardern’s desk. There was a lengthy huddle and he scurried back to Bridges, Brownlee and National whip Jami-Lee Ross. English sat impassively and National’s deputy leader Paula Bennett rose to get a glass of water, a serene smile on her face. Then came a round of handshakes. Some red returned to Mallard’s face. There was clapping. The vote was put. Mallard was elected unopposed, and thanked the MPs for their “delayed confidence”. Afterwards it emerged National had used their knuckle duster powers to cut a deal on the floor of the House – using their power to force Labour into a backdown on the number of select committee places for MPs. Labour had planned to allow 96 places for MPs on the select committees that scrutinise the legislation before Parliament. That would have meant about seven National MPs had no place. National had wanted – and got – at least 108. As it later transpired, National was one down as well with David Carter away and Labour could have won the vote – it had 58 to the opposition’s 56. It had been a brazen bluff. Even had Tolley won, it could have been rectified by a later vote of no-confidence in her. But that would have been very messy indeed and not a good start for a new government – or a new speaker. National will not get the same opportunity again – the rules of Parliament allow for a proportion of MPs to have their votes cast when they are away. The scenes of the opposition holding the government to ran-

There is no doubt the level of support for my stance on the iSITE closure continues to grow. I can honestly say there isn’t a day goes by without comment from people openly critical of council’s decision to close our iSITE. So, can I challenge mayor Donna/council (once again) to prove to our district the level of support they have for maintaining their stance to close the i-SITE. Can I also remind them (once again) there has not been one let-

Email us! editor@theguardian. co.nz Trevor Mallard som on day one were, as English later said, “unprecedented”. There are procedural hiccups for all new governments – but rarely on the scale of the opposition being on the verge of bringing down the government. Given National had already publicly said it would vote for Mallard as speaker, it was also white-knuckle audacious. It bordered on political blackmail. It earned an unrepentant Bridges the first ‘death stare’ from Ardern for spoiling her day. When she stood to congratulate Mallard, she pinioned Bridges with a glare as she spoke about the need for Parliament to serve in the best interests of all New Zealanders: “You will see this side of the house maintain that spirit in the way that we work inside this house and I hope it is a spirit you will see maintained by the opposition.” In the long run, it may well

have saved Labour future grief, as Bridges later pointed out. National was determined to stick its heels in over the select committee roles, including forcing prolonged debates on the matter in parliament. That would have eaten into Labour’s 100 days programme. But in terms of future intentions, National could not have made itself clearer. It made the government look like fools. It was not joking when it said it would make the new government’s life hell. – NZME Claire Trevett is the deputy political editor for the NZ Herald.

ter supporting their position to close the i-SITE. Can I also comment on two statements made by the EMC general manager? Bruce Moffat says he works out of the i-SITE office and no-one has tried to come in. Bruce, I can tell you that local people have taken it upon themselves, they have stopped and talked to visitors looking at the closed sign on the door. Local people have been helping visitors while you sit inside behind a locked door with the lights out and the blinds firmly shut.

You also made a comment at the council meeting that no one from the business community had approached you. Bruce why should we approach you? Our debate is directly with council, who still sit on their hands hoping we will go away. When visitors arrive in New Zealand there is a very helpful tour brochure they pick up. On the first few pages it glowingly talks about being able to visit one of the 80+ i-SITEs around New Zealand for all your travel information, where helpful

staff will process your enquiries. Everywhere, that is, except Ashburton. There is no doubt our visitor experience in Ashburton has been degraded with council’s decision to close our i-SITE. The AGM of Experience Mid Canterbury is this Friday, 11am at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre. If you care about the Ashburton i-SITE and believe our council is wrong in their decision to close the i-SITE, then come along and tell the EMC board. Tony Todd

Urgent climate action call Fiji has launched the UN’s climate change conference with a plea for the world to do more to protect its most vulnerable people. Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama – whose country holds the Conference of Parties (COP23) presidency – said the need for urgency was obvious. “All over the world vast numbers of people are suffering, bewildered by the forces ranged against them,” he told the conference’s opening session, citing destructive hurricanes, fires, floods and droughts. The world must not back away from committing to the more ambitious target outlined in the landmark 2015 Paris agreement on climate action – limiting warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels – rather than simply chasing the more widely agreed two-degree target, he said. “If we don’t rise to the challenge, we will definitely fall short and expose our people to more risk, more destruction and more suffering,” Bainimarama said. The World Meteorological Organisation says the global temperature has already risen 1.1°C. The organisation’s Secretary-

general Petteri Taalas said the latest science indicated that as things were now, the world was on track to warm by 3-5°C and the trend of increasing natural disasters would likely continue until the 2060s. One of Fiji’s key aims for the conference is to establish a Talanoa dialogue – named for the Pacific Islands’ spirit of open and constructive debate – to culminate in plans at COP24 in

Poland in 2018 for how countries can increase their ambitions to cut emissions. Fiji’s chief negotiator Nazhat Shameem Khan hoped it would result in a roadmap not just for new formal commitments but for an increase in ambition more generally. The head of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change said the conference had never before met with a

greater sense of urgency. There has been some concern about America’s role after President Donald Trump said in June his administration would pull out of the Paris agreement unless it could secure a better deal. Khan said the US had continued to engage and support Fiji’s presidency and had indicated it intended to remain constructive. – AAP

Hostile texts sent before shooting

The gunman who killed 26 people at a small-town Texas church had a history of domestic violence and sent threatening text messages to his mother-in-law, a member of First Baptist, before the attack in which he fired at least 450 rounds at helpless worshippers, authorities said. A day after the deadliest mass shooting in state history, the military acknowledged that it did not submit the shooter’s criminal history to the FBI, as required by the Pentagon. If his

past offences had been properly shared, they would have prevented him from buying a gun. Investigators also revealed that sheriff’s deputies had responded to a domestic violence call in 2014 at Devin Patrick Kelley’s home involving a girlfriend who became his second wife. Later that year, he was formally ousted from the Air Force for a 2012 assault on his ex-wife in which he choked her and struck her son hard enough to fracture his skull. In the tiny town of Sutherland

Crash at Sydney school kills two eight-year-olds Two boys, aged eight, are dead after a car smashed into a Sydney classroom, leaving children screaming for their parents amid a scene of “carnage”. A Toyota Kluger driven by a woman, 52, hit a weatherboard building at a primary school in Greenacre yesterday morning. Five students were initially taken to Westmead Children’s Hospital NSW Ambulance and police later confirmed two boys aged eight years old had died. A nine-year-old girl is in a serious condition and two eight-

year-old girls are in a stable condition. Paramedics arrived to “a scene of carnage” with “distressed and overwhelmed children and teachers”, NSW Ambulance superintendent Stephanie Radnidge said. The driver, who did not require medical treatment, was taken to hospital for mandatory blood and urine tests. The car was on the school grounds when the incident happened but police don’t believe it was intentional. – AAP

Springs, population 400, grieving townspeople were reeling from their losses. The dead ranged from 18 months to 77 years old and included multiple members of some families. Kelley’s mother-in-law sometimes attended services there, but the sheriff said she was not at church that Sunday. The massacre appeared to stem from a domestic situation and was not racially or religiously motivated, Texas Department of Public Safety Regional Director Freeman

Martin said. Under Pentagon rules, information about convictions of military personnel for crimes such as assault should be submitted to the FBI’s Criminal Justice Investigation Services Division. Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said the service is launching a review of its handling of the case and taking a comprehensive look at its databases to ensure other cases have been reported correctly. – AP

Ed Sheeran has said he’s excited to return to New Zealand and visit some of the tourist attractions, particularly the “huge lake” in the South Island. The Shape Of You singer broke both his arms in a tumble from a bicycle last month and had to cancel some shows, putting his Aotearoa shows in danger of being postponed or cancelled. Sheeran said at the time it “may affect some of his upcoming shows”, but confirmed to local radio that he’s “absolutely looking forward to New Zealand”. “I didn’t actually get to do all of the proper tourist stuff last time,” he said.

Elton honoured Elton John has been honoured at Harvard University for his philanthropic efforts to fight HIV and Aids. The 70-year-old singer was awarded the Harvard Foundation’s Peter J. Gomes Humanitarian Award in a recent ceremony. Previous winners include former South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu and former Secretaries General of the United Nations Ban Kimoon, Kofi Annan, Boutros Boutros-Ghali and Javier Perez de Cuellar. Elton says he lost friends to Aids, and regrets not doing more to help as he battled addictions early in his career.

■ SOUTH KOREA

Protestors out in Sth Korea Dozens of protesters have gathered outside the American embassy in Seoul holding up placards with anti-war slogans ahead of a visit to the country by US president Donald Trump. Trump, who is on an Asia tour, is scheduled to visit South Korea and meet President Moon Jae-in to discuss the North Korean crisis. Security, too, was boosted in the country as multiple protests are planned. Protesters had also gathered in support of Trump and against North Korean

leader Kim Jong-un. Some of them carried messages in support of Park Geun-hye, the conservative ex-president, who was impeached and is facing corruption charges, and opposed the withdrawal of US troops from the country. The anti-Trump protesters, smaller in number and less vocal, gathered at a restricted space a few metres away. The US president will also speak to the South Korean parliament on Wednesday, before leaving for China. – EFE

Robert Knight dies Singer Robert Knight, best known for the 1967 country-soul hit Everlasting Love, has died at age 72. The Tennessean reported that Knight passed away at the weekend following a short, undisclosed illness. Though he rocketed to fame for the soul-stirring track – known for its uplifting chorus, Need you by my side, girl you’ll be my bride/ You’ll never be denied everlasting love – Knight began his career in 1959, when he formed a vocal group with some high school pals known as The Paramounts. The singer, born in Franklin, Tennessee, scored a R&B minor hit in 1961 with Free Me.

■ SERIOUS FRAUD OFFICE

No charges filed against Zespri Group The Serious Fraud Office won’t file charges against Zespri Group over dual-invoicing, ending a four-year investigation into the legislated fruit export monopoly. Director Julie Read said the white-collar crime investigator found the evidence didn’t meet a high enough standard to lay charges after investigating allegations Zespri facilitated tax evasion while exporting kiwifruit to China by providing false invoices to its importer to use in declarations to Chinese officials. “In this case the practice of dual invoicing facilitated criminal offending in China. The lower valued invoice was used by Zespri’s importer to evade duty and result-

ed in him being convicted for the Chinese offence of smuggling,” Read said in a statement. “The instrument of that offending was created by Zespri in New Zealand. For that reason the matter properly came to the attention of the SFO.” In 2013, a Zespri subsidiary was found guilty of being an accessory to under-declaring customs

duties by a Chinese court, which fined the unit $960,000, sentenced its employee to five years imprisonment, and ruled gains of some $11.6 million should be repaid. At the time, chief executive Lain Jager said corruption and fraud didn’t involve Zespri. There were “things we could have done better, but we’re not corrupt”. Read said New Zealand exporters should approach the practice of dual invoicing with “extreme caution” because it’s a warning flag that duty is being evaded. She acknowledged the case took a long time, saying there were “complex and unusual arrangements between Zespri and their Chinese importers”. – NZME

could have the opposite effect. “There are many, many different scenarios that could occur,” he said. Robertson has previously criticised the RBNZ for raising interest rates prematurely in mid-2014, when the official cash rate was raised to 3.5 per cent. He also confirmed he had spoken to the current RBNZ chair, Neil Quigley, to confirm he would seek a new governor – due for appointment by March 31 – willing to implement Labour’s dual objective monetary policy framework. Robertson reaffirmed the importance of the RBNZ continuing to have operational independence and said the Treasury would lead the official work on reviewing the central bank’s activities. – AAP

Robertson announced the government would shortly announce an independent expert review panel to study the current monetary and financial stability practices of the RBNZ in a two-phase process that will first insert an employment focus into the PTA and implement monetary policy decision-making by committee rather than vesting that responsibility in the governor alone. Robertson faced repeated questioning at the media conference as to whether the inclusion of an employment target could be expected to lead to lower interest rates, but acknowledged that current low unemployment, high workforce participation and emerging signs of higher inflation

Finance Minister Grant Robertson has used his first press conference since taking office to signal to financial markets that the new government remains committed to predictable monetary policy. Robertson held a formal ceremony with acting Reserve Bank of New Zealand governor Grant Spencer yesterday to sign the existing Policy Targets Agreement (PTA) that puts inflation targeting at the heart of monetary policy until a review and new legislation to alter that focus is completed next year. The move comes ahead of tomorrow’s Monetary Policy Statement, the first full review of the state of the economy and inflationary pressure since before the September 23 election and the September 30 retirement of the

the 2020 financial year. “The higher flow sites should permit an overall increase in the volume of salmon harvested in addition to improved environmental outcomes,” and each site would require some $6 million – or a maximum total expenditure of $36 million if all proposed relocations are approved. “We are confident that increased volumes readily justify the associated investment,” he said. If none of the farms are relocated and the company can’t renew one of the sea farm consents, Rosewarne said total production might be lowered by 700-750 tonnes, adding “we note that we have successfully renewed all consents in the past.” The shares rose to 4.8 per cent at $2.40 and are up 80 per cent this year. – NZME

New Zealand King Salmon Investments, the world’s largest aquaculture producer of king salmon, doesn’t expect to spend any more on the consultation process involving the possible relocation of six farms but says it’s too early to tell whether a new government will affect the process The minister for Primary Industries began a consultation in January to relocate up to six of the company’s salmon farms from their historic locations to higher water flow sites more suitable for fish and the environment. A public process was carried out in May. So far King Salmon has spent $1.2 million and managing director Grant Rosewarne told shareholders at yesterday’s annual meeting in Blenheim that “we do not anticipate further material spend to complete the project”. However, “at this early stage, it is not possible to say what effect, if any, the change of government has had on the MPI process,” he said in speech notes published on the NZX.

hen time is short and the pantry is bare, if you have an egg or two, it’s easy to cobble together dinner. Eggs marry happily with just about any other ingredient and can be the quiet stars that pull a dish together.

Chorizo and corn frittata 8 eggs 1/4 t black pepper 1/2 C cream-style canned sweetcorn 1C cooked or frozen mixed vegetables (eg peas, carrots, capsicum) 1/2 C diced smoked sausage (eg Polish, Kielbasa) 1/2 C grated cheddar cheese ■ Preheat oven grill. ■ Whisk eggs and pepper in medium bowl. Stir in sweetcorn, vegetables and sausage. ■ Spray a 25cm ovenproof frying pan with cooking spray. ■ Heat over a medium heat. Pour in egg mixture. ■ As mixture sets around edge of pan, with a spatula gently lift cooked portions to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. ■ Cook until bottom is set and top is almost set. ■ Sprinkle cheese over top. ■ Place pan under preheated grill for 2 to 3 minutes to melt cheese. ■ Loosen frittata around edge of pan, then cut into wedges to serve.

In brief Wallabies ‘the best’ Rieko Ioane, Waisake Naholo, Beauden Barrett and Damian McKenzie take note. Wales assistant coach Shaun Edwards has declared the Wallabies boast the best attacking weapons in world rugby. Australia haven’t tasted defeat to Wales since 2008 and lost just two of their last 17 matches against the men from the principality ahead of Sunday’s international in Cardiff. “They have the most potent attacking force in the first three phases in world rugby – even more than the All Blacks,” said Edwards, who is Wales’ defence coach. - NZME

France ‘shambolic’ Call it quintessential France. As the All Blacks get settled in central Paris, their opposition appears in a shambolic state. Newspaper L’Equipe have just kicked off a series on the decline of French rugby, one that has seen them slip to eighth in the world. This comes two weeks after the same publication ran a headline piece about the “state of emergency” facing French rugby. France are unbeaten in two games at home this year but that is about where positivity ends. Victories against Scotland and Italy and a bizarre win over Wales have been overshadowed by seven defeats in 2017. - NZME

Happy in the Heartland By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

The Mid Canterbury Hammers had their success recognised on Saturday, with four of their players featuring for the Heartland XV in their 41-39 win over New Zealand Marist. Eric Duff, Seta Koroitamana, Jarred Percival and last-minute call-up Willie McGoon all fea-

tured for the select side, and faced off against their teammates Christian Vainerere and Angus Lindsay who lined up for the Marist side. A total of 11 tries were scored on the day, with three of them coming courtesy of Mid Canterbury players. Jarred Percival picked up one, and also added four conversions

and one penalty. The penalty came at a vital time for the Heartland side, who trailed by one point with only three minutes remaining on the clock. Marist led at halftime, much through the work of Vainerere, who scored his second try on the stroke of halftime to give the green and whites a 22-point lead. Initially Mid Canterbury full-

back Maleli Sau was set to play in the match until his red card against the West Coast earned him a three week suspension. NZ Heartland 41 (Craig Clare 2, Scott Cameron 2, Jarred Percival, Willie Wright tries; Percival pen, 4 con) bt NZ Marist 39 (Christian Vainerere 2, Kameli Kuruyabaki, Ben Werthmuller, Seseimani Toupo tries; Peter Breen 2 pen, 4 con). HT: 29-14 Marist.

Wyatt Crockett would love to start more tests for the All Blacks but he doesn’t plan to quibble about it. At 34, the seasoned prop is the oldest member of the New Zealand tour party but still packs impact off the bench. All 10 appearances this year have been as a reserve, lifting Crockett’s tally of bench appearances to 43 out of 68 caps. He sits just 12 behind the record held by Keven Mealamu. “I’d love to start a few games but I’m just happy and excited to be here and still involved,” Crockett said. - NZME

All Blacks’ rest theory All Blacks players and coaches alike aren’t sure if their latest experiment with rest will achieve the desired results. Captain Kieran Read and four other senior All Blacks joined the squad a week late, leaving them time at home to rest and focus on the opening tour test against France on Saturday. Steve Hansen admits the tactic has an experimental feel. - NZME

In brief Ferguson in the runs Forgotten test batsman Callum Ferguson has launched an impassioned defence of Australian cricket’s over-30 club after scoring an unbeaten 182 in the Sheffield Shield. Ferguson combined with potential Ashes bolter Jake Lehmann (93) for a 212-run stand before South Australia declared at 8-370, setting Victoria 348 to win on day four at the MCG. With national chairman of selectors Trevor Hohns watching on, the 32-year-old plundered the highest score of the Shield season so far. - AAP

Proteas help England Not content with just beating Australia, South Africa’s cricketers have been telling their English counterparts how to do it. England’s test cricketers have picked the brains of the South Africans, who downed Steve Smith’s side 2-1 in Australia last summer. In particular, the Proteas have schooled England on what to expect in the looming Ashes Test in Adelaide – a day-night fixture with pink balls. - AAP

Big milestone for Graham By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton College’s First XI found something to celebrate this week, despite finding the going tough in the top grade of the Canterbury secondary schools’ cricket competition. The side was convincingly beaten by Christchurch Boys’ High School at the weekend, amassing 112/9 – a total quickly and aggressively chased down by the national schoolboy champions with the loss of just one wicket. However the game did yield

some positives for the team. Captain Will Graham started the match needing 14 runs to reach a 1000-run milestone for the college – he passed the mark easily with a tally of 25, beaten on the day only by Ben Niles, who top-scored with 28. Graham becomes the eighth player in the college club’s history to reach 1000 runs, joining Jack Meyrick (1243), Matt Tait (1219), Kieran Hunt (1124), current team-mate Tom Ravenscroft (1103), Ben Mably (1083), Kurt Polson (1073) and Michael Burton (1054).

Graham’s tally is at 1011 with three games remaining in the season. The seam bowler is also in the club’s top all-time 10 wicket-takers, currently sharing a career tally of 82 wickets with team-mate Gareth Hunt, who claimed the sole wicket on Saturday. Graham’s star continued to rise this week when he was presented with the Noel Hoskin Cup for cricket at the Year 13 prizegiving on Monday, along with a cricketing scholarship to Lincoln University. He was also selected in the

Canterbury Under 19 team to play at the national age-group tournament at Lincoln on December 4-12. Former Methven player Richard Turpie, who now attends Christ’s College, was also named in the side. AshColl is back at the Ashburton Domain this Saturday for what is likely to be their last home game of the season, against North West. On Sunday they travel to the Willows club at Loburn for their annual match against the cricket institution.

Windies produce young squad for NZ tour The West Indies have backed a coterie of promising young batsmen to deliver in their twotest series in New Zealand next month. The squad of 15 contains only one change from that which beat Zimbabwe 1-0 in another two-test rubber which finished a week ago. Kyle Hope has paid for a poor run of 101 runs in his five tests and been replaced by Sunil Ambris, who has played just one ODI but showed good form in a series of matches against Sri Lanka A recently. There is Hope for the West Indies, though, in the form of

Kyle’s brother Shai, who became the first player to score a pair of centuries in a first-class match at Leeds this year, carrying the West Indies to a remarkable win with his double of 147 and 118 not out. He is part of a group of batsmen the West Indies fancy as the future of the test batting order, such as Barbados’ Roston Chase, averaging 40.25 from 15 tests with three centuries; Jermaine Blackwood, the Jamaican who has racked up 27 tests but averages a still-lean 30; and Shai Hope. The West Indies chairman of selectors, former international wicketkeeper Courtney Browne,

said the Zimbabwe series win was a solid pointer not to play about with the squad. “It was a strong team effort and highlighted by those players that did not do as well as expected on the recent tour of England, playing critical roles in the team’s success,” Browne said. “Their success augurs well for the selection process and the philosophy of continuity, which has underpinned our selection for the tour of New Zealand, and not the chopping and changing mentality.” Allrounder Jason Holder, 25, will captain the West Indies, fresh from a second test century in

Bulawayo and averaging 30 with the bat, but his 52 wickets have come at an expensive 37.3 each. Stocky Kemar Roach and burly Shannon Gabriel will spearhead the pace attack, with the slippery 20-year-old Alzarri Joseph and Miguel Cummins as backup. The West Indies have a training camp in Brisbane until November 21 before a three-day fixture against New Zealand A in Lincoln later this month. The two tests are at the Basin Reserve from December 1-5 and Hamilton’s Seddon Park from December 9-13. Three ODIs and three T20s follow. - NZME

Australian cricket’s newest hat-trick man, Mitchell Starc, wants the Blues brothers’ bowling quartet to stay together right through the season, so they can continue wreaking havoc on opposing batting lineups. Nathan Lyon got one WA wicket, but it was the Blues pace trio of Starc (4-56), Josh Hazlewood (3-24) and Pat Cummins (2-31) who set up the home team’s 94-run first innings lead. NSW and national captain Steve Smith would have been happy with the impressive effort from a Blues bowling ensemble widely tipped to form the Australian attack. - AAP

NBL ‘buzzing’ The NBL rivalry between the New Zealand Breakers and Perth Wildcats will resume tomorrow night when they clash in Auckland. The teams have each won four of the past eight NBL titles, and go into this encounter first and second respectively on the ladder. The alltime record between the Breakers and the Wildcats is 29 wins apiece, with the Kiwis winning 22 of the 30 games played in New Zealand. Breakers swingman Tom Abercrombie says there’s a different buzz around every game against Perth. “There is a lot of history there; everyone gets excited by it, coaches, players fans,” he said. - NZME

First class still best Luke Woodcock epitomises the cricket tragic. Last month, at 35 years young, he contributed 151 runs to the highest partnership in New Zealand cricket’s provincial history, a 432-run dismantling of Auckland with fellow opener Michael Papps. Last week Woodcock earned a 128th cap for Wellington, the most by any New Zealand first-class player for one province. In an age where the razzmatazz of T20 cricket grows in the marketplace, Woodcock revels in the Plunket Shield which he says “tell you a lot about character”. “This is the format I hold in the highest regard,” Woodcock says, embarking on his 17th first-class season. - NZME

In brief

■ MELBOURNE CUP

Irish raider upsets Joseph O’Brien has beaten his famous father to Melbourne Cup glory, training Rekindling to win Australia’s greatest race. In a father-and-son finish the younger O’Brien’s Rekindling overhauled Johannes Vermeer, trained by his dad Aidan O’Brien, in the closing stages. Max Dynamite completed an Irish trifecta in taking the minor placing. Ridden by Sydney jockey Corey Brown, Rekindling saluted as a $15 chance to give owner Lloyd Williams a sixth win in the race. “I chased the ride about six weeks ago and with a light weight I was a big chance to get on him,” Brown said. “It is so special, I have my family with me and the girls are old enough to come to the races and enjoy it. “I am lost for words.” Brown won the 2009 Melbourne Cup on Shocking and has worked to re-establish himself in Australia after an extended stay in Singapore. Coming from midfield as Johannes Vermeer ($13), also jointly owned by Williams, was being hailed the winner, Rekindling rallied when it mattered to edge clear to score by a long neck. Max Dynamite ($20), runnerup in 2015, ran bravely for trainer Willie Mullins to finish in the placings again, 2-1/2 lengths further back. The Irish trio were part of an 11-horse overseas contingent taking their place in the Melbourne Cup field.

Rich Hill Stud stallion Shocking has completed a memorable Melbourne Cup day double. Eight years after the son of Street Cry won the 3200m Flemington feature his daughter Fanatic has claimed top honours in the undercard staying contest. Yesterday’s win over 2800m in the hands of Kiwi jockey Michael Walker came at her sixth start from her new quarters. “She was in season at her last start so we were looking for her to bounce back,” said Jack Kiernan, son of Taranaki breeder-owner Sean. - NZME

Te Rapa return Cha Siu Bao will make his four-yearold debut at Te Rapa on Saturday. “We’ll kick him off in the Rating 75 over 1400m,” co-trainer Andrew Scott said. “He’s coming up well and we’re pretty hopeful he’s going to be competitive.” Cha Siu Bao has won twice and measured up encouragingly against the best three-year-olds last season, as evidenced by his run for fourth in the Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m). - NZME

Wide run no problem

Rekindling gets up to beat Johannes Vermeer in the Melbourne Cup yesterday. Big Duke was the first Australian-trained horse across the line, finishing fourth. O’Brien, 24, immediately made a telephone call to his father Aidan who wasn’t at Flemington because of Breeders’ Cup commitments in America. “I rang him, he is delighted. “Unbelievable,” the former jockey said. “I’m just so thankful to Lloyd and to Nick (Williams). “They suggested to bring him down and that he’d have a good

chance in the race and his prep went really good, and Corey gave him an unbelievable ride. “And I’m just so delighted for everyone and all the lads at home and the lads that are down here with him have done an unbelievable job.” Williams, who is also partowner of Johannes Vermeer, had an association with six Melbourne Cup runners. “I’m so proud of this young man – he’s a star,” Williams said

of the rookie trainer. “I’ve been telling people the father needs to watch out!” English stayer Marmelo and last year’s winner Almandin started equal favourites at $7. Marmelo finished ninth while Almandin was trapped wide before struggling into 12th. Internationals took nine of the first 11 placings with Scottish runner Nakeeta finishing fifth. Gallante was the last horse across the line. - AAP

Cup day double

Cran Dalgety’s classy young pacers Raukapuka Ruler and Master Moonlite are resuming at the Cup Trials today but they won’t be sighted at Addington next week. They will mostly be using the month of November to prepare for suitable features next month, which for Master Moonlite will possibly include the three-year-old features in Auckland including the Sales race on New Year’s Eve. Northern Derby winner Raukapuka Ruler is unlikely to head to Auckland until the four-year-old features in the autumn however, with his assessment causing Dalgety some consternation. “He was a Rating 101 and while he’s been knocked back to a 93, about the only race he would be eligible for in Auckland would be the Cup, and we’re not about to throw him in that deep end just yet,” said Dalgety. “He’s a five-win horse and he’s come back as virtually an open class pacer which is a bit ridiculous really. “Under the old system with a cap he would have come back as a C3. “He’s pretty much good to go but he’s not forward enough to be

thrown into next week’s cauldron of hard and fast racing. “He’ll need 2-3 trials and with no trials next week, it’s going to be 3-4 weeks before he’s ready to race,” he added. Dalgety will be looking to “duck and dive for suitable races around the traps” next month and two possible options include the Green Mile at Methven on December 3 and the Ashburton Cup on Boxing Day. “The Country Cup-type races are possibilities but the burning question will be the handicaps. “They’re discretionary handicaps but that only means they’re one man’s opinion.” Dalgety is still undecided about Master Moonlite’s immediate future. “He did a bit too well during a spell and has put on a lot of weight so it’s a bit hard to tell where he’s at at this stage. “He can race around Canterbury while we get a line on him. “But he would need to lift his game to warrant a trip to Auckland because it looks like we’ve got a pretty deep crop of three-year-olds running around at the moment.” - NZHN

Ellerslie winner El Fernando yesterday covered more ground than any other runner in the opening event, but trainer Mark Brooks wasn’t concerned. His chestnut five-year-old was posted three wide before working to second spot down the back and then fought gallantly under rider Trudy Thornton to beat the topweight Hushed in Tuesday’s Chevalier Produce 2200m. “It was a good run and he likes wide, open spaces,” Brooks said. - NZME

Mare gets her reward Stakes performer Grand Soleil gained an overdue first victory at Ellerslie on Melbourne Cup day. The Tony Pike-prepared Savabeel mare, who is out of the Group One-performed Gretchen, won the Carlton Events 1600m as she liked under Vinnie Colgan. Grand Soleil looked well above average last season when she finished third in the Gr.2 Royal Stakes (2000m) and runnerup in the Listed New Zealand Bloodstock Airfreight Stakes (1600m). - NZME

Win for tyro trainer Alison Ritchie’s first runner to the races has done the novice Cambridge trainer proud. She produced Way In, formerly prepared by her husband Shaune, to come from the tail of the field to finish fourth in the Auckland Co-Op Taxis 1200m behind the impressive Joy Anna. “I don’t have any grand illusions, but I think there’s a Rating 65 race in her,” Ritchie said. - NZME

Topweight too good A brave Watch This Space defied his topweight at Ellerslie yesterday to continue his impressive form this season. The Wayne Hillis-trained six-year-old gave the runner-up Zacada five and a-half kilos when successful in the Carbine Club Trophy. Rider Sam Weatherley has now won three times on Watch This Space this term, having previously combined to good effect with the gelding at Ruakaka and Hawke’s Bay. Their only miss was a close eighth at Hastings. - NZME

In brief

■ WAIPA

Smart galloper returning Talented four-year-old Sweet Leader is closing in on a return to racing. His career has been a successful if stop-start one to date, but there is no denying his ability when he is at peak fitness. The son of O’Reilly underwent wind operations either side of his impressive win in the Gr.3 Cambridge Breeders’ Stakes (1200m) in April at his last appearance, the third success of his five-start career. “He’s coming up really well and he’s looking good,” said Andrew Scott, who trains in partnership with Lance O’Sullivan. “We might kick him off in the Counties Bowl on November 25.”

Meanwhile, another lightlytried Group winner has been freshened with Charles Road recently returning to Wexford Stables. Last season’s Gr.3 Manawatu Classic (2000m) winner failed to race up to expectations in three starts as a four-year-old. “He didn’t come up as well as we had hoped in the spring and we found last year that his form got better when the weather warmed up,” Scott said. “He’s had a couple of weeks off and he came back into the stable this week.” Scott and O’Sullivan will have two runners in at the Te Awamutu meeting at Waipa today and

both rate as each-way prospects. Rainbow Song finished a tidy sixth when resuming at Taupo over 1200m and he will contest the Cooper Naylor 1400m. “He’s certainly improved in his coat and general appearance,” Scott said. “He’s a capable horse and Opie (Bosson) got off him at Taupo and said he’s going well and to step him up a little bit in distance.” Mr Selfridge was a first-up fifth on the same day and he will strip a fitter horse for the Cal Isuzu 1400m. “He’s also improved and again, getting up to 1400m will help him,” Scott said. - NZME

Huge Sunday Pick Six Harness punters will get a chance to chase an early Christmas present when a guaranteed $250,000 Pick 6 is run on Sunday’s Wyndham meeting. It comes after the pool jackpotted from this past Sunday’s big $200,000 pot at Riverton, when all six favourites were beaten. - NZHN

Prince Fearless moves

Michael Coleman is down to ride Rainbow Song today.

Well-performed All Stars stable trotter Prince Fearless, unplaced in two spring starts for Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen, has joined the Aylesbury barn of Stephen Boyd. He has his first trial since being transferred to Boyd at Addington on Wednesday. “I’ve pre-trained him a couple of times for Mark and Natalie. They thought it was best he come here and try him using the waterwalker and see how we go,” said Boyd. - NZHN

In brief

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Big guns back for Kiwis Kiwis coach David Kidwell has gone back to his top side for Saturday’s Rugby League World Cup clash against Tonga in Hamilton. Kidwell has brought back veterans Thomas Leuluai and Simon Mannering while he’s opted for Kodi Nikorima as Shaun Johnson’s halves partner for what he describes as the “toughest match of the tournament” thus far. Jordan Rapana starts on the right wing, while Dallin WateneZelezniak will partner Panthers team-mate Dean Whare on the left edge. The biggest selection debate appeared to be at five-eighth. Te Maire Martin played well in his opportunity against Scotland last week but Kidwell has opted for Nikorima. “Young Te Maire played a really great game on the weekend,” Kidwell said. “But the decision is, like I’ve said before, Kodi wants it and so he shares that responsibility with Shaun. “The great thing is, looking at all those players that hadn’t played in the first game, there is a bit of pressure there for spots and competition. “Te Maire wants it for sure but we have just gone with Kodi because we think he can direct the team with Shaun and he has that little bit of x-factor about him and confidence.” Kidwell played down any thoughts of the occasion being a grudge match against those Tongan players that turned their backs on the Kiwi jumper just prior to the World Cup. He insisted that won’t impact on how the Kiwis approach the game. “We are in a really good space – we have been since the start of the campaign,” the Kiwis coach said. “We are nice and relaxed but we also know the big challenge ahead of us. “We just have the focus on us and our energy and where that needs to be. “We aren’t tapping into any emotion or anything. We are pre-

Warriors to play Storm The Warriors will take on reigning premiers Melbourne Storm in Rotorua in February. The two sides will headline a two-day Festival of Rugby League with a trial on Saturday, February 17. It will cap a programme including a regional nines tournament for the Peter McLeod Cup, a trophy named in honour of the longserving former general manager for Events and Venues Rotorua, who died two years ago. McLeod was the driving force behind the bid which resulted in the Auckland Warriors being introduced to the then-Winfield Cup in 1995. - NZME

Animosity downplayed Tonga have attempted to brush off the hype surrounding Saturday’s Rugby League World Cup pool clash with New Zealand, after four of their players defected from the Kiwis to play for the Polynesian nation. But Sam Moa, who played nine tests between 2013 and 2016, believes the match will be played in the right spirit. “A lot of us in the Tongan side are friends with the boys in the Kiwis and that doesn’t change over the course of one game,” Moa said. - NZME

England ring changes Coach Wayne Bennett has rung the changes for England’s final Rugby League World Cup group game against France in Perth on Sunday to give all 24 squad members game time. St Helens centre Mark Percival, Warrington five-eighth Kevin Brown and Castleford second rower Mike McMeeken will make their first appearances along with Hull prop Scott Taylor. Leeds threequarters Ryan Hall and Kallum Watkins are all rested. - PA

Kiwis’ playmaker Shaun Johnson paring how we have been for the last three weeks since we started the campaign.” Tonga has been impressive in their back-to-back wins so far this tournament. They thrashed Scotland first up before a dominant win over Samoa last weekend. Kidwell and the Kiwis have watched both Tongan games and were impressed by their performances. “They have been playing great,” he said. “They had a good game against Samoa.

“Their strengths I think are in their forward pack so our forward pack is looking forward to the challenge.” The big test will be trying to keep 2016 Dally M medal winner Jason Taumalolo in check. “It is about limiting his metres,” Kidwell said. “He is obviously the form forward in the game but I look at our forward pack as well and the way we have been performing. “We just have to make sure we prepare well during the week and are ready to face that challenge.” - NZME

Trio will play on

KIWIS Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Dean Whare, Brad Takairangi, Jordan Rapana, Kodi Nikorima, Shaun Johnson, Martin Taupau, Thomas Leuluai, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Simon Mannering, Joseph Tapine, Adam Blair (captain). Interchange bench: Nelson AsofaSolomona, Russell Packer, Isaac Liu, Danny Levi.

Michael Morgan has sent a chilling warning to NSW Origin fans, predicting Queensland greats Billy Slater, Cooper Cronk and Cameron Smith are set to continue tormenting the Blues for years to come. Cronk turns 34 next month, while June 18 birthday boys Smith and Slater are both 35 in 2018, but they’re showing no signs of slowing down. - AAP

Hunt out to end season a World Cup winner By Steve Zemek

Ben Hunt

Ben Hunt says the indignity of being dropped by Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett may have been a turning point in his NRL season and career. Hunt has endured highs and lows like few others this year and aims to finish it a winner as part of Australia’s Rugby League World Cup campaign. Being dropped mid-season to the Queensland Cup by Bennett gave him a new perspective on life and the game, he says. As well as making his State of Origin debut for Queensland in game three, the playmaker

signed a big money five-year deal with St George Illawarra and was shifted to hooker for the final four games of the Broncos’ season. On Sunday, he also got married to long-term partner Bridget Hagan. As Hunt puts it, it’s been a “strange year”. “I’ve had some of the biggest lows but some of the highest highs as well,” he said. Asked if being dropped was a turning point, he said: “I think it might have been. “I don’t think I was playing my best and getting put back there it made me just go back

and enjoy some of my footy and play the way I know I can play.” Hunt was granted a weekend leave pass by Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga to get married in Byron Bay. It meant missing Friday’s win over France and he says he initially feared choosing love over footy would cost him a spot in the squad. “When I first talked to Mal, it was one of the most nervous talks I’ve had,” he said. “But he was excellent. “Straight from the start he was happy for me to go and get married.” - AAP

SITUATIONS VACANT

The long wait for Winston By Michael Burgess At around 4pm on Monday afternoon, the All Whites’ hopes in the upcoming match against Peru received a massive boost. That was the time when Winston Reid arrived, safe and sound, in the capital, along with the rest of New Zealand’s English-based contingent. Given his ill fortune over the years, it was a relief to see the West Ham captain on terra firma in this country. Four years ago he was the key man for the All Whites, in the form of his life, ahead of the playoffs against Mexico. But an innocuous tackle at a West Ham training session caused an ankle sprain, which ruled him out just days before the All Whites were due to assemble, and they never recovered, losing 9-3 on aggregate to the North American side. He also missed this year’s Confederations Cup with what he admitted was a “weird” injury (a calcified bone growth in his foot) and has been barely present during this current cycle, playing just five matches of a possible 27. Sometimes it has been due to need to manage his workload, amid the demands of the Premier League, as a way to keep a healthy relationship between West Ham and New Zealand Football. But often Reid has been struck down by untimely injuries, a product of the wear and tear from seven years and more than 200 matches for West Ham. Since the start of the current World Cup cycle Reid has had nine different periods in the casualty ward at West Ham, missing a total of 54 matches. There has been calf strains, adductor problems, hamstring issues, hip strains, quadriceps injuries and ankle ligament damage. But he’s here now, pronounced fit and well, which is a an almost immeasurable lift for the All Whites.

While Chris Wood has arguably taken his mantle as the team’s most irreplaceable player – given his current form and the lack of depth at striker – Reid has the biggest impact on the group. Similar to 2010 captain Ryan Nelsen, Reid makes players around him better by his sheer presence. Aside from his obvious footballing abilities, the 29-year-old adds exponentially to the belief in the group. He has a quiet public persona, but is a strong presence within the team. The quality of the training sessions improve and his input into team meetings is highly valued, with more than 150 games in the Premier League and duels with Sergio Aguero, Harry Kane and Diego Costa on his CV. He’s on a different stratosphere compared to many of his team-mates, but relates well to all. Reid’s appearances for New Zealand have been so infrequent recently it’s sometimes easy to forget his impact. But it was seen most noticeably on last year’s tour of North America, where he was a standout against the USA and Mexico. He’s the fastest defender among the All Whites’ back three, the best reader of play and the most comfortable on the ball. He’s an experienced organiser and also an attacking threat at set piece, with an impressive vertical leap. “Winston has a huge impact on the group,” said All Whites defender Michael Boxall. “Just having him in camp, being part of the team, it’s like everyone’s levels go up. “It’s not just what he brings on the field, but also off it.” The All Whites held their first full training session yesterday afternoon at David Farrington Park, before they have another scheduled practice tomorrow. - NZME

TODAY’S GOALS: Good – 7 Excellent – 8 Amazing – 10

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’re a person who’s not afraid of being wrong because you want to know what’s right, and so you’ll meet even your own perception with some measure of doubt. This takes a secure person. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Familiar emotions, even negative ones, get comfortable. To feel a certain way might be nothing more than a habit. The more times you conjure up a feeling, the easier it will be to do so. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You may find yourself replaying a drama over and over, and it’s certainly getting old. But don’t worry: The addition of even one new friend is enough to shake up the whole dynamic. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The miners weren’t the only ones to get rich in the gold rush. Those in the business of selling shovels did mighty fine as well. There’s some kind of shovel-equivalent in your realm. Do you know what it is yet? LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): It’s easier to be yourself when you’re comfortable. Getting comfortable is the tricky part, especially in situations and around people very foreign to you. Settling in will take time and repeated exposure. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): If you knew you were going to get criticised for it, would you still do it? Better question: What if you knew that no matter what choice you made, it would get criticised? What would you do then? LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): If you try too hard to forget something you’ll remember it well, and if you try too hard to remember something you’ll forget it. Write things down. This magically helps with both remembering and forgetting. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Anticipate boredom, and decide that you’re going to do something about it beyond your phone. For instance, paying attention to something different in the scene will open the way to new insights. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): When others behave badly, it makes you want to do better. The misbehaviour of others will cause you to check yourself to make sure you are not committing a similar offense. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Your originality will shine through today. You’ll be in the same situation as the others and take something totally different from it. For this reason, they need you and you need them. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Occasionally, the social aspect of your work can go against your mood. But once you adjust, your mood will change for the better. There’s a prize at the end of the interaction. Don’t miss this one. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’ll be drawn to neutral places and underwhelming experiences. Environments that lack excitement encourage imagination. In the quiet, you’ll solve a problem.

Sport Rookie takes top ranking Sung-hyun Park of South Korea has become the first LPGA rookie to reach No.1 in the world. Park replaced Soyeon Ryu atop the women’s world ranking yesterday without playing last week. Ryu lost the No.1 ranking after 19 weeks when she failed to finish in a tie for sixth at the Toto Japan Classic. The 24-year-old Park won 10 times on the Korean LPGA Tour. Park won the US Women’s Open and already has clinched LPGA rookie of the year. She has a chance to become the first player since Nancy Lopez to win rookie of the year and player of the year in the same season.

Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton reportedly avoided tax on his PS16.5 million private jet. The BBC reports Paradise Papers documents show a PS3.3 million VAT refund was given after the aircraft was imported into the Isle of Man in 2013. It is alleged Hamilton’s accountants and lawyers helped him – and others – set up companies through which they rented their own jets from themselves.

Despite not even finishing school yet, Melanie Puckett has a Farah Palmer Cup medal around her neck and is ready to do it all over again this summer. Puckett recently started the Farah Palmer Cup final for Canterbury against Counties Manukau, a game they eventually went on to win. “It was pretty crazy to be coming from club rugby to playing in a national final,” she said. “I didn’t even think that I would end up playing in the final.” Heading into training that week, Puckett said she wanted

thought I might be nervous, but I was really relaxed. “There are a lot of experienced girls in the team and they did a great job at keeping everybody calm.” While she now lives in Christchurch for school, Puckett said she still gets plenty of

support from friends and family back in Mid Canterbury. “It has been really cool and I have gotten a lot of messages from many people in Mid Canterbury. “My family have been really supportive and my grandparents flew up to Auckland to watch the final,” she said. While you would expect most people to put their feet up after a long season of rugby, Puckett is now diving head-first into the sevens season. “It has been pretty crazy, we had our first sevens training the other day and I just want to jump straight back into it,” she said.

Stokes ‘a big loss’ Former Australia bowler Glenn McGrath believes England will struggle to cover the void left by the Ashes unavailability of their “enforcer” Ben Stokes. The allrounder remains in England waiting to hear whether police will charge him after his arrest in Bristol on September 25. England coach Trevor Bayliss said he is not expecting any involvement from the 26-year-old in the five-Test series, starting in Brisbane on November 23. “He’s an incredible player, he fills two spots in one,” McGrath said.
