Bin abuse ‘unacceptable’ BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Lifting the lid on kerbside yellow recycling bins has revealed that not every Mid Canterbury wheelie bin user understands what should go in those bins and what should not. The council has started an audit of recycling collected through its kerbside service and there appear to be significant gaps in the community’s understanding of what is accepted for recycling, Ashburton District Council service delivery group manager Neil

McCann said. An initial audit was carried out across 80 bins, selected at random. These were emptied into large bags that were labelled with the bin number and address. Bags were then taken to the resource recovery park so their content could be checked. “What we found was that 20 to 30 per cent of those bins were contaminated with materials that shouldn’t be in there and we need to reduce this. Among other things we found bottles, clothing and polystyrene,” he said.

When a bin was emptied, if non-recyclable material was found, a photograph was taken and this and a letter would be sent to the property owner. The first of those letters will be sent this week. Polystyrene could not be put in the yellow recycling bin but it was accepted at the resource recovery park while used clothing belonged at charity shops or in clothing bins, not recycling bins, McCann said. For people who had moved to Ashburton from places where

wheelie bins were in use, there could be some confusion around bottles because Ashburton, unlike many areas, had a separate collection service for these by using green crates. “In Timaru and Christchurch bottles go in the recycling bin but we need to educate people that that’s not what happens in Ashburton and we’ve had quite a few people who’ve said they’re not aware of this.” While every property had been issued with a green crate, additional crates could be bought

from the council’s administration office, he said. A contamination rate of up to 30 per cent was unacceptable and the council was working with EnviroWaste to audit recycling bins to help educate and improve the quality of recycling being collected. The audits will be ongoing across all areas parts of the district where wheelie bins were in use. Repeat offenders could have their wheelie bin service withdrawn for repeat offences, McCann said.

Priests busy settling in to their new parish By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

The road to becoming a priest can be a long one, as Father Joaquin Camano and Father Denis Nolan can attest to. The respective 51- and 71-yearolds have recently arrived to take up the chalice at the Mid Canterbury catholic parish, after the relocations of Father Geoff Gray to Akaroa and his assistant Father Larry Mijares to Greymouth. Father Nolan was brought up in Greymouth as the oldest of five children. His family moved to Brookside near Leeston when he was 11. After leaving school he came back to work on the Canterbury family farm and then went on a working holiday to Australia. He said he felt the call to become a priest at the age of about 22. “I was 25 before I answered it,” Father Nolan said. Some aspects of church life had presented themselves as difficult; for instance, he had expected he would marry. “So it was a big adjustment to change my thinking.” Today he had no regrets and flourished in his relationship with God, and being involved in other people’s lives. “Their journey of life and their journey of faith, and being able to assist in various ways, especially at significant times in people’s lives.” It was a similarly meandering journey for Father Camano, who

has now been a member of the priesthood for about 18 years. In his home country of the Philippines, he was preparing for a military career as he studied in college. With his father, a former policeman and his oldest brother, a member of the special forces, he thought he was naturally following in their footsteps. But as he prepared to enter a military academy, his parents objected as they did not want their son to live the risky life of a soldier. So Father Joaquin instead decided to attend a seminary so he could undertake academic study, and attained a philosophy degree. Upon completion of this, he felt he could serve God and his people by continuing at the seminary and learning to become a priest, so that’s what he did. “What appeals to me is the life of service, and you bring people to realise how important it is to relate with God.” Father Joaquin came to New Zealand in 2014 at the request of his Bishop, and prior to coming to Ashburton assisted in Christ the King parish in Christchurch. Father Nolan was at St Peter Chanel at Rangiora, serving the pastoral area of Waimakariri before coming to Ashburton. The two priests said they had enjoyed their first couple of weeks in Mid Canterbury and getting to know parishioners in the thriving churches of the pastoral area.

Quake risk building placards out By Sue newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It’s been a long time coming, but the status of Ashburton’s earthquake prone buildings is about to become public knowledge. Placards spelling out the degree of compliance of those 100 plus buildings are about to start arriving in building owners’ hands and they will then have two weeks to post those placards in a place

that’s visible to the public. Black and white placards will identify a building as between 20 per cent and 34 per cent against the building code, orange and black will mean the building’s rating is between zero and 20 per cent and a plain orange placard means the council believes that building to be earthquake prone but that an engineer’s report on that would determine its status

once it has been provided to the Ashburton District Council. Council building services manager Michael Wong told councillors at yesterday’s environmental services meeting that there were 51 potentially earthquake prone buildings around the district and 67 that had been declared earthquake prone. The numbers were dropping, however, with the early register

listing 400 properties across all categories, he said. Around the district, 35 buildings had already been strengthened and the council had issued nine consents for strengthening this year. “We’re still a very proactive district in terms of strengthening buildings compared to many,” Wong said. Among those buildings where

placards will have to be erected are 14 on council Glasgow lease land. In addition there are three council-owned buildings on the list – all on Havelock Street – Pioneer Hall, Paul May Motors and the two storey building occupied by Physio Steps. Earthquake prone buildings will be listed on a national property register that will be publicly available.

■ LEADFOOT FESTIVAL

‘I want to return next year’ BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The rubber of his tyres has barely cooled down, but petrolhead Donn “Hopper” McLaren already has his sights set on a return to the Leadfoot festival. McLaren restored his Mazda rotary powered Ford Escort to its former glory, ready to tackle the famous driveway of Rod Millen’s estate on the Coromandel Peninsula, and loved every moment of the experience. “The car was excellent, absolutely spot on,” he said. “The road is so technical, Rod (Millen) has made it with so many tricks, there are so many parts that look straight and simple but they aren’t and you can’t afford to get them wrong.” So caught up in the experience, McLaren did not even bother checking where he finished on the leaderboard in his category, instead choosing to soak up the experience. “As soon as you drive through the gate you just go ‘wow’,” he said. On the first day of the event McLaren opened the door to the 1970 Mazcort, welcoming the public to get strapped in to the driver’s seat. “Seventy-one people got in the car in total, everyone from kids as

en is taking a slight detour on the way home to attend the Rotary REunion event being held at the Bruce McLaren Motorsport Park in Taupo.

“I think there are going to be over 300 rotary engine cars there which should be cool, and I have a brother called Bruce so I will have to stop and get a photo by the sign,” he said. While the Leadfoot Festival was only a two-day event, McLaren and his band of more than 20 supporters made it a three-day event by returning on the Monday to assist with the clearing of the haybales that lined the course as safety barriers. “We offered to let some of the other guys leave and we carried on shifting the big bales and they just couldn’t understand why we wanted to do it but it is just the South Island way,” he said. “I also had a mate call me when we were there who asked to speak to Rod because he wanted to offer, cost-free, to come up and help set up the event 10 days before which shocked him.” McLaren already has his sights set on returning next, with a larger contingent of South Island drivers alongside him. “I 100 per cent definitely will be going back, just got to hope I can get invited again,” he said. “I spoke to Rod when we were there and said I’ll definitely be applying next year and he just smiled.”

Mockford forced to close door on giveaway shop BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Bureaucracy may have won over charity when it comes to meeting the needs of some of the Ashburton District’s most hard up residents. Tinwald woman Cheryl Mockford has been running a giveaway shop from her home for several months, but in doing so ran foul of the Ashburton District Council’s district plan. She also earned the ire of at least one neighbour who com-

request to close on January 31. Last month she also collected signatures on a petition which she presented to mayor Donna Favel and councillor Diane Rawlinson and yesterday Favel presented that petition to the chairman of the council’s environmental services committee Peter Reveley. In presenting the petition, Favel said Mockford had asked her what the council would do if she chose not to close. Council environmental services group manager Jane Donaldson

plained to the council about what they perceived as her ‘illegal’ activity. To operate her shop she needed a resource consent, which would have come with a $1000 fee and agreement from her neighbours. Going down the legal line was not an option, Mockford said because she couldn’t afford the $1000 fee and she was also aware at least one of her neighbours would not agree. She was served with an abatement notice by the council with a

said that enforcement options included continuing to issue infringement notices that would come with a $750 fee each time, applying for an enforcement order if the abatement notice was ignored or considering prosecution. “You can’t use a petition to continue to break a law and this is what the response should be to this petition,” Donaldson said. The council had spelled out those options to Mockford, she said.

While she was prepared to battle on her own account, she said the council had ‘got dirty’ and warned her landlord that he could be fined for allowing her shop to operate from his residential property. “There’s no way they’ll let me win.” Today she says she’s been left with piles of goods to give away and dozens of disappointed customers. “There are lots of people who’re now missing out,” she said.

In brief Driver sought Police are looking for the driver of a vehicle following a hit and run in Mission Bay, Auckland early yesterday. Police were called to an incident on Kepa Rd about 6.50am where a pedestrian was hit by a car and received serious injuries. “The driver is believed to have fled the scene and inquiries were being made to find them,” a spokesperson said. - NZME

Te Papa criticised Education Minister and father of two Chris Hipkins has criticised Te Papa over its provision of nappy changing facilities – in the women’s toilets. Hipkins tweeted his displeasure yesterday saying: “Hey Te Papa, I know you are a museum and all that but in the 21st century men change nappies too!” He tweeted the signage on the women’s toilets door which included an icon of a baby. Hipkins and his partner had a baby girl last year. Hipkins, who has a toddler son as well took parental leave for three weeks last year. - NZME

■ FIRE DANGER

A few kinks in pilot website By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Fire and Emergency New Zealand staff from Mid/South Canterbury are still ironing out a few kinks as they pilot the new permit software that is set to be rolled out nationwide. The first areas in the district moved to a restricted fire season this time last week, requiring anyone intending to light a fire outdoors to first acquire a permit. On checkitsalright.nz, people are able to follow a simple pro-

cess to apply for their permits. The process also includes an automatic acceptance feature that allows permits to be automatically accepted if they fit certain parameters. However, this is where many people are getting tripped up, says rural fire officer Don Geddes, leading to an increased workload for staff. “The stubble side is getting overloaded and not coping with it,” he said. “It is set up to auto-complete for certain parameters which

we aren’t going to advertise for obvious reasons, but there is a bit of confusion around one parameter. “This means we have to go in manually and contact the applicant for more information, which is creating a big workload, and we are working on more clarification there. “The biggest thing I can say to people is to read the instructions. There are instructions on every page, and if people read them and follow them, it should work then.”

Geddes says the massive fire in the Nelson district that was believed to have been started accidentally by a farmer tilling a paddock, is a timely reminder for people to be conscious of their actions. “It just shows how easily it can happen, and how you need to think about your activities,” he said. “If you are planning any activities that could create sparks, save it for the early morning or the late evening when the wind isn’t up.”

■ NELSON FIRE

Local firefighters called on to help out By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

The Pigeon Valley fire has blazed its way through approximately 1600 hectares of land in Nelson, capturing the nation’s attention, and firefighters have been called in from Mid Canterbury and down the road in Timaru to do their bit. Volunteer support officer Murray Cairns has been put on standby ready to assist the wider operation. Cairns was contacted on Thursday morning asking if he would be free, ready to travel to either Christchurch or Nelson to assist with the logistical side of fighting the fire. “They have plenty of firefighters on the ground up there, it would just be more helping out with the logistics and operations

side of things up there and giving a few guys a break,” he said. “I have had a small bag packed ready to go.” The total perimeter of the fire covered 23km, with 100 staff on the ground continuing to fight the fire late yesterday afternoon. A crew of 10 firefighting forestry staff from Port Blakely Forestry travelled north yesterday to assist with the efforts. The staff, who are employees of Port Blakely, are fully trained firefighters as well as forestry workers, a big bonus for situations like this, said rural fire officer Don Geddes. “They have a strong vested interest in protecting forests and we work closely with them and provide training for them and they are the ideal ones to send in these situations,” he said.

“They had been set to go to Australia but when this happened we just held off for a bit and decided to send them up to Nelson. “The key thing for them now is that there is no wind, the guys up there are working really hard and will really be targeting those high risk areas.” Geddes was close to being caught up working in the fires after spending time in Nelson from last Friday to Tuesday morning covering as a back-up support officer over the Nelson Anniversary weekend. “I was on the road back to Ashburton at 10.30am, so about four hours before it started,” he said. “The staff up there had been apologising to me that there had been nothing for me to do while I was up there. If I had left lat-

er, I would probably still be up there.” One dwelling has been confirmed as destroyed by the fire that is believed to have been caused by a farmer whose machinery sparked the blaze. FENZ incident controller John Sutton said it was almost certain the fire was the result of agricultural machinery. The farmer was “mortified”, said Sutton who added it was a highly accidental event. “A totally unintended consequence really.” Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern earlier praised firefighters tackling the mammoth Nelson fire as a $20,000 relief fund was unveiled. Speaking in Nelson, Ardern said an incredible job was being done by emergency services, she said.

A man charged with murder after a fatal fight in the Lower Hutt suburb of Taita has pleaded not guilty in court. Warren Pay appeared via AVL link at the High Court in Wellington yesterday. The 51-yearold was arrested in Hastings after the death of Faapaia Fonoilaepa, 29, who died of a single stab wound in September. Pay has also pleaded not guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm and a knife. He has been remanded in custody until April when he will next appear in court. A trial date has been set down for October. - NZME

Pipe bomb found A suspected pipe bomb found on a Bay of Plenty beach yesterday has been disposed of by the bomb squad. Police at the scene said a member of the public alerted local firefighters to a suspicious pipe, a little smaller than a shoebox, on a rock at the northern end of the beach. The area was cordoned off and police were called about 1.20pm. They took photos of the pipe and sent them to the New Zealand Defence Force emergency ordinance disposal team, who said they needed to come and remove it. Senior Constable Brett Otto at the scene said the pipe bomb would “need to be ignited to go off”. He said it was not a highrisk area for someone to set off a bomb and there was no evidence of any other devices being let off in the area. - NZME

More fire evacuations Further evacuations were under way last night as a result of the Pigeon Valley Fire as winds and humidity started to increase. Approximately 25 more properties have been affected in the west side of Teapot Valley, on top of the 182 properties that were already evacuated. Teapot Valley Christian Camp director Paul Schutt has had two uneasy nights inside what was initially a cautionary cordon zone. Yesterday police told him it was finally time to go. He had spent the day helping a neighbour put out small spots of flames, putting water through a weed sprayer. - NZME

■ HIGH COURT AUCKLAND

Accused fights for anonymity The man accused of murdering British backpacker Grace Millane will keep his name suppressed while a judge contemplates lifting the gag order. The now 27-year-old Auckland man appeared in the High Court at Auckland yesterday in an effort to convince Justice Simon Moore he should keep his name secret. The man is charged with murdering Millane between December 1 and December 2 last year, court documents viewed by the Herald allege. He pleaded not guilty at his last High Court appearance and a trial was set for November. Yesterday’s name suppression hearing was held behind closed doors, preventing members of the public from attending. Several members of the media, however, were present as was the officer in charge of the case, Detective Inspector Scott Beard. Justice Moore reserved his decision and suppressed the arguments made at the hearing by the defendant’s lawyer Ian Brookie, the Crown Solicitor at Auckland Brian Dickey, the Herald, and Stuff. Millane, a university graduate, came to New Zealand in Novem-

Grace Millane ber last year as part of a year-long solo OE. She arrived in Auckland just days before she was killed and was last seen alive on CCTV entering CityLife Hotel with the accused on December 1. According to court documents, the defendant was living at the Queen St hotel. Millane’s body was later found in a section of bush just 10m off Scenic Drive in West Auckland’s Waitakere Ranges on December 9. She would have turned 22 a week earlier.

A post-mortem examination was completed but police have not publicly released its details. Detectives, however, confirmed Millane’s body was found intact. Her body was returned to Essex, England for her funeral earlier this year. Her father, David Millane, had said his “whole world turned upside down” when she went missing. “Grace was not born here and only managed to stay a few weeks, but you have taken her to your hearts and in some small way she will forever be a Kiwi.”

A relative of the accused also spoke to the Herald in December. They said their entire family were also broken-hearted – and they were sorry for the Millane family’s loss. After the family of the accused learned of the murder charge they hardly slept because of the anguish, the relative said. When the defendant first appeared in the Auckland District Court after his arrest, Judge Evangelos Thomas declined granting name suppression. However, the accused was able to keep his name out of local media after his lawyer indicated an appeal – automatically imposing a 20 working day suppression order under New Zealand law. Late last year Justice Moore ruled that the appeal period, taking into consideration the closure of courts over Christmas and New Year, would end on January 29 if an appeal wasn’t filed. Yesterday’s court appearance was initially an appeal of Judge Thomas’ decision. Brookie, however, abandoned his appeal and made a fresh application for name suppression on the basis of fair trial grounds. Despite the suppression order,

British media flouted New Zealand law and named the accused in its papers, online and on-air. The Herald later reported the London newspapers’ explanations for naming the accused, after objections by a close friend of the Millane family. “Whist the Telegraph takes into consideration the laws of other countries when it comes to naming suspects/those charged with a crime and the names of victims of crimes we should stress that the law in New Zealand does not apply to our reporting,” the paper replied. Internet behemoth Google also breached the order when it named the accused in its “what’s trending in New Zealand” mass email to New Zealand subscribers. The email also said there had been more than 100,000 searches on its search engine of the man’s name. Social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook were also disseminating the man’s name. The Google breach led to a meeting with Justice Minister Andrew, Attorney-General David Parker, and executives from the company. - NZME

John ‘Cocksy’ Cocks

TV star builder ‘Cocksy’ dies Popular television star builder and renovator John ‘Cocksy’ Cocks has lost his battle to kidney cancer. The 52-year-old has been battling the disease since April, 2016, when he was diagnosed on Anzac Day. The much-loved reality TV star died on Wednesday. Known by his nickname Cocksy, he appeared in several do-it-yourself programmes and television series starting in the late 90s. He starred in April’s Angels – alongside presenter and former Silver Fern April Ieremia – My House My Castle, Celebrity Treasure Island and Cocksy’s Day Off. News of his death came as a shock to his former employer, TVNZ. In a statement provided to the Herald, the network paid tribute to a much-loved personality – not just among colleagues but someone who was just as popular with viewers. “John ‘Cocksy’ Cocks appeared in some of TVNZ’s biggest shows. “He was loved by viewers who appreci-

ated his can-do attitude, his honesty and his warmth. “Our deepest sympathies are with John’s family and friends.” In March, 2017, the Herald on Sunday revealed the devoted father-of-three was battling kidney cancer. He was also given the news that he had three years to live. The cancer was initially in his kidneys before spreading to his lungs and spine. Cocks – dad to Georgia, Sophie and Ella - married partner Dana Coote at an intimate ceremony on Tairua Beach in June, 2017. After his diagnosis, Cocksy started ticking off a bucket list he wanted to complete - including buying a new surfboard, building his dream home in Tairua, taking surfing trips to the Islands and marrying the love of his life. He said at the time: “The problem with a shortened life span, you think: ‘What are the important things you should do’? For me and Dana, it was to get married.” - NZME

Doctor and comedian Fans of The Chase rejoice, one of the stars of the hit UK quiz show is coming to New Zealand thanks to a “midlife crisis” gone unexpectedly well. Paul Sinha is heading our way to perform standup comedy at the NZ International Comedy Festival. He appeared on Breakfast yesterday, where he revealed he turned to comedy as the result of a “sort of midlife crisis”. “I was a doctor for many years, and I just thought, I want to be doing something else with my life,” he said. “I started very much at the bottom and stayed there for years, but you slowly climb your way up the ladder and I’ve been a professional comedian for nearly 20 years.” North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump shake hands prior to their meeting on Sentosa Island in Singapore. - PHOTO AP

■ UNITED STATES

Summit stakes higher US President Donald Trump used his biggest stage of the year to announce a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Trump said in his State of the Union address that he intends to meet Kim on February 2728 in Vietnam, saying that although much work remains to be done towards peace on the Korean Peninsula, his relationship with Kim is a good one. But is Kim really ready to make a deal? Here’s why the stakes will be higher this time around. Trump’s announcement of the summit’s timing and location was expected. He had been teasing it for weeks. But he kept his North Korea remarks surprisingly short. After dramatically asserting that if he hadn’t been elected president, the US and North

Korea would be fighting a major war now, he acknowledged that much work remains to be done. That’s quite a shift from his claim right after his June summit with Kim in Singapore that the nuclear threat from the North was over. The President’s tune changed in other ways as well. The word denuclearisation was nowhere to be found. Neither was anything specific about what he achieved in Singapore or what specifically he intends to get out of another meeting. Trump is smart to give himself a lot of wiggle room. US intelligence chiefs believe there is little likelihood Kim will voluntarily give up his nuclear weapons. Nevertheless, efforts to nail down the logistics and an agenda for the summit do ap-

pear to be on track. Just before Trump spoke, the US special envoy for North Korea, Stephen Biegun, reportedly flew to Pyongyang to try to flesh out summit logistics and an agenda. After a year of heightening threats, and in sharp contrast with the standoffish policies of President Barack Obama, Trump got a lot of credit for simply being willing to open a dialogue with the North and to meet directly with Kim. Now that the ice has been broken, just sitting down with Kim won’t likely win Trump more kudos. Previous presidents refused to meet Kim and his predecessors because they did not want to legitimise them or bolster their status. Kim got all that and more in Singapore.

Trump needs to prove his relationship with Kim has a purpose that goes beyond photo ops. In his speech, Trump stressed that the North has returned Americans who had been jailed and has not launched any long-range missiles in 15 months. Kim announced all of that before the Singapore summit, however. There’s a real risk this time around that if Trump can’t nail down a significant win on the denuclearisation front, he could find himself working in direct opposition to his own main objective. Instead of getting Kim to give up his nukes, any tacit acceptance of the status quo could embolden Kim to dig in further as the leader of the world’s newest nuclear power. - AP

Best new Netﬂix show? On the face of it, Russian Doll looks like a pretty simple homage to Groundhog Day, Bill Murray’s 1993 classic in which he wakes up and repeats the same day, over and over again. The same thing happens to Natasha Lyonne’s character in Russian Doll, except she keeps dying, over and over again. No matter how far she goes in her attempt to cheat death, she just keeps kicking the bucket, rebooting back to the same party, ready to do it all over again. Sound bleak? Not according to critics who have called Russian Doll the first great show of 2019. “Fresh and revelatory,” said the Boston Globe.

■ GERMANY

Hitler’s artwork goes under the hammer Before he set out to build a Nazi empire and exterminate Europe’s Jews, Adolf Hitler toiled as an artist on the streets of Vienna, supporting himself by selling hand-painted postcards of city landmarks. The fascist state that he sculpted no longer exists, and the German criminal code devised after the war sought to erase its traces by banning Nazi iconography, including swastikas. Giving the Hitler salute is

punishable by up to three years in prison. Holocaust denial is also verboten. But Hitler’s creative vision lives on, in the form of sketches and watercolour paintings that bear his name, though some are thought to be forgeries. By his own account in Mein Kampf, he created as many as three works a day during his stay in Vienna between 1908 and 1913. More than 30 pieces signed

Adolf Hitler or A. Hitler will go up for sale at the weekend at an auction house in Nuremberg, in southern Germany – part of a trade in Hitler’s creations that some find reprehensible. The sales are “repulsive and sick,” finds the British art critic Jonathan Jones. In a 2015 column, he asked, “Who are these collectors that fork out considerable sums for the art of a man who caused murder and cruelty beyond imagining?” One of the pieces is a nude

drawing of Hitler’s half-niece, Geli Raubal, who lived with him in Munich and is thought to have used his gun to kill herself in 1931. Bids for the pieces come from China and the United Arab Emirates, as well as from within Europe, the Nuremberg auction house has said. One of the auctioneers, Kerstin Weidler, defended the works as historical artifacts, denying that buyers were “all old Nazis”. - PA

MAKING

Painting YOUR ROOF

PAINTING A CORRUGATED IRON ROOF – TOP TIPS If you are painting a new iron roof you will need to wash it with a degreaser before you start unless the roof is more then a year old and has weathered. This means that the oil from fabrication has worn away and the iron has been slightly etched through weathering. With unpainted iron you will need to prime it first with a suitable primer, this is also the case for any sheets of iron that may have been replaced on an existing roof. You will need to apply two coats of suitable paint, and the choice of colour is up to you but do remember lighter colours will reflect the heat and darker colours absorb the heat. Airless spraying is the quickest way to paint any roof and if you decide to paint your roof this way there is a technique to applying the paint. When you are spraying you should spray about a metre wide section and work your way down the sheet, spray in the direction of the flutes in the iron.

If you like you can use the joins in the iron as a guide, it is an easy way to tell exactly where you are at. Once you have worked your way down the sheet and completed that section move back to the top of the roof and repeat for next sheet of iron. You must keep a wet edge at all times and that is why you go back to the top of the roof before it starts to dry, if you decide to work back from the bottom to the top, the top part could have tacked off when you get back up there.

have had any repairs like this done after you have cleaned the roof make sure you use your garden hose and give the roof a final clean - sometimes just a broom will do the trick. If your roof looks really bad and just about all the colour has gone then you will need to seal the roof first. Most roof sealers/primers dry clear. Make sure you apply plenty, you will need to give the roof a good coating to give it a chance to soak into the tile.

PAINTING A TILED ROOF

When painting a roof make sure you are able to get back down from the roof without having to walk over wet paint. This can be avoided with a little planning before you start. If you are going to use an airless spray gun to paint the roof try to avoid painting on a windy day as there is always some over spray and it can be carried a long way in windy conditions. Check the weather forecast. You don’t want to paint your roof if it’s going to rain and if it is going to be hot you are best to start early.

Generally when you are painting a tiled or shingle roof it is because all the existing glaze has worn off and the roof is looking a bit shabby. Some roofs will look better than you think once the cleaning has been done. With tiled roofs there is an issue with ridge capping, they may need to be fixed before you start painting and it is generally referred to as pointing and bedding of ridge caps. Most will need re-pointing and some may need rebedding. With re-bedding they take off

LET-US

Henri Ham

AWAPUNI NURSERIES

Lettuce salads have been a headliner in my kitchen lately. This hot summer heat we’ve been having has kept me busy watering in the garden, but there’s been lots of harvesting taking place too. This also means I’ve had to replant lettuce seedlings (every few weeks) to continue my prolific supply. The good thing is, even for the most novice of gardeners, you can’t go wrong planting a few lettuces. They’re simple to grow, quick to produce and take up relatively little room. I plant my lettuces all year round, but really ramp it up from August through to February. To ensure I don’t get bored of any one type, I like to constantly mix up the varieties I plant. Buttercrunch and cos are great for picking off their

loose leaves as you need them. Drunken woman and great lakes are a larger, more classic-shaped lettuce, that I remember from my younger days. What I also remember is, back then you’d never consider picking a few leaves here and there. You’d always harvest the whole lettuce head at once. How the times have changed! A new lettuce variety we’ve grown at the nursery this summer is tom thumb. It’s the perfect little lettuce to pop in between rows of other plants. It grows small heads (about the size of a baseball), which are ideal as a gourmet lettuce for one. Contrary to what I just said about picking leaves off your lettuces as you need them, tom thumb is harvested all at once. Tom thumb has a lovely mild, sweet taste. But the reason it’s a great lettuce to grow at this time of year is it tolerates high temperatures very well and resists bolting. And, being so small, makes it a great candidate to plant in a pot, or alongside other plants such as leeks or beetroot. You can grab your tom thumb lettuce seedlings from our Awapuni Nurseries online shop and have them delivered

direct to your door. We guarantee satisfaction, and if you’re not entirely happy with your plants when they arrive, we’ll replace them. Once you’ve got your seedlings, look for a well-drained and sheltered place to plant them. I like to dig in some new compost and sheep pallets at this point too. Then dig some little holes - 3cm deep and 15cm apart. After this, simply water regularly and watch for slugs. Smaller pots need to be watered daily right now or, if you’ve planted in the ground test with your finger for dryness. If you get one knuckle deep and it’s dry, you’ll know its time to water. And for the slugs – I recommend slug ‘beer bait’. That’s if you’ve got any spare beer in the house right now. It’s also a fun activity to do with the kids. In around four to six weeks your tom thumbs should be ready to be harvested. I recommend suggest combining them with grated zucchini, basil, parmesan and your fav dressing for a fresh twist on your summer salad. Bon appetite.

An awesome experience W

hile the more urban-favoured Ford Ranger has been New Zealand’s number one vehicle for three years in a row, the Raptor has been designed for tougher off-roading. The Ranger Raptor includes standard front and rear Fox Racing Shox shock absorbers for high speeds off-road. It has increased ride height, a wider track and improved approach and departure angles for extreme off-road capability and stability. The 2019 Raptor also gets a new powertrain of a 2-litre bi-turbo diesel engine, paired with a 10-speed transmission that provides closer gear ratios over a wider span. Despite its smaller capacity compared to current Ranger models available in New Zealand, the engine produces 157kW of power and 500Nm of torque, making it the most powerful in the line up compared with the 470Nm 3.2-litre diesel Ranger Wildtrak. Designed by Ford Performance, the company says Raptor has been configured specifically for customers in Asia Pacific. Ford Performance chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi, said the name Raptor is inherited from the Ford F-150 Raptor. “Just like its predecessor the F-150 Raptor, the Ranger Raptor builds upon the core capability of the range of vehicles it comes from and carries the unmistakable Ford Performance DNA appearance,” he said. It’s grille is similar to the F-150 Raptor,

while the frame mounted front-bumper system is designed to offer desert durability performance and resist dents and dings often associated with off-road usage, says Ford. The Ranger Raptor is 873mm high, 2180mm wide and 5398mm long, with wider front and rear tracks at 1710mm. All-terrain BF Goodrich 285/70 R17 tyres have been specially developed for the

Ranger Raptor with tough sidewall, and an aggressive off-road tread pattern which provides grip in wet, mud, sand and snow conditions. The 2018 Ranger Raptor also comes with unique underbody protection bash plate made from 2.3mm thick high-strength steel. Ranger Raptor comes with a Terrain Management System offering six modes for

various driving experiences, which can be selected via a dedicated five-button switch located on the steering wheel. “It is amazing to enable this level of performance and create a vehicle that can provide off-road enthusiasts such an adrenaline rush,” said Hameedi. “It really is like a motocross bike, snowmobile and an ATV rolled up into a pickup truck – it’s an incredible, awesome experience!”

Rhino on a mission A

dopting the Rhino name in NZ for Ssangyong’s new Ute is significant in two respects. Firstly, this present fiveute range of which there’s two 2WD petrol models and three AWD diesels are well set up for both work and play. The petrols cost $25,990 for the 6-speed auto, $29,990 for the 6 speed auto, while the diesels are $34,990 for the manual, $36,990 for the auto and $43,490 for the top of the range SPR (all prices plus GST and ORCs). The 2-litre turbo-petrol produces 165kW and 350Nm of torque from 1500-4500rpm. Combined fuel use is 10-10.7L/100km and they can tow 2800kg. Meanwhile the 2.2-litre diesel does 133kW, and either 400Nm for the manual or 420Nm for the auto – both from 1400 – 2800rpm. They of course have high and low range 4WD and they’re rated to tow 3500kg. All ride on a five-link rear suspension, have a locking rear diff and impressive standard equipment levels. Especially so the SPR with its Nappa-leather furnishings, heated/ventilated front seats, high definition touch-screen, 360 degree monitoring system, 20inch alloys, roof rails and more. Secondly, with every Rhino Ute sold Ssangyong will make a contribution to the Saving the Wild fund to help Auckland-based Jamie Joseph and her crusade to help save the African rhino. With rhino horn worth more than diamonds or cocaine gram for gram, rhino poaching is lucrative and trying to stop it is seriously dangerous work for Jamie and her team. She will undoubtedly find that the new Rhino Ute also presented to her by Ssanyong with its distinctive livery certainly helps promote her mission.

Practical sports cruiser

his new, third-generation Mercedes-Benz CLS four-door coupe cuts a real dash with its striking AMG influenced exterior styling. From its aggressive front, complete with a diamond grille, wide, low-set multi-beam LED headlights and the roof-line that sweeps back over the frame-less side windows into the boot lid. These contours follow the companies design philosophy of Sensual Purity: lines which with the combination of reduced edges and generously arched surfaces result in outstanding aerodynamics, with a drag co-efficient value of just 0.26. And that’s even with the electronically-operated sunroof, which was best kept shut during our recent heat-wave. With all this, you expect something interesting under the bonnet and the CLS delivers. It has a new 3.0-litre, in-line six-cylinder bi-turbo engine coupled with EQ Boost technology. This consists of an integrated electric motor which assists the petrol engine. It also carries out starting and generating duties via the 48 volt electrical system and lithium-ion battery. This battery sits under the bonnet and is also recharged both on the over-run and by regenerative braking. Selecting the Eco drive mode allows you to ‘sail’ by way of the electric motor/ battery at open road speeds on the likes of part of the drive from Methven to Ashburton when you ease back on the accelerator. The petrol engine seamlessly shuts down and likewise restarts when needed. The combined system usually generates a silent 270kW and 500Nm, but for short periods the EQ Boost can add a further

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

250Nm, but then just as quickly resort to helping out with fuel efficiency. There’s also a boot mounted, 12 volt battery, which takes care of lighting etc. The boot, while not overly high, is sufficiently deep enough for golf bags. This combined petrol/EQ system, while very smooth and quiet, means there’s plenty of torque on hand right from idle to then whisk you away without needing much more than say 2500rpm for day to day driving. As well the smart and very smooth-changing nine-speed auto together with the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system most certainly also contribute to the overall performance. Depending on which of the five selectable drive modes you choose (Comfort is the default mode) at a 100km/h cruise the rev-counter can show just over 1200rpm. Select Sport+ and the CLS can be very quick when the driver wants to be, with 0 to 100km/h in just 4.8 seconds being possible. Then you do hear some appropriate sounds from the sports exhaust system! While both Sport modes also stiffen the car’s air suspension, for those who wish to do so, the default Comfort setting with its quality ride and handling delivery is likely to suit most drivers, especially so with passengers on board.

Those passengers will appreciate the anticipated and delivered feelings of luxury. No doubt that’s even more so in the CLS driven, for it had, as part of its $7900 Edition 1 option heated/ventilated front seats in a very inviting black Nappa leather with contrasting stitching throughout in place of the standard leather furnishings. Upfront there’s plenty of adjustment available for the driver to take in the double wide, 12.3-inch (imperial measurement for screens and tyres continues) colour displays operated by touch pads, including one on the steering wheel or the rotary controller. As well there’s smart phone integration, a Burmester 13-speaker surround-sound system, ambient interior lighting with 64 different colours, head-up display and more. While the sloping roof-line necessitates rear passengers needing to bow their heads when entering, this was certainly not a problem and there’s more than adequate headroom when seated. Latest driver assistance systems include a a 360-degree camera for parking along with active assist and speed sensitive steering. There’s active cruise control with a speed adaption function that can, by combining information from both the sat-nav and the cars camera adjust its speed for corners, roundabouts etc. As well as nine airbags, there’s active assist systems for the drivers attention, braking, cross-traffic, evasive steering assist, blind spot, lane keeping and more. Plus there’s an Energising Comfort Control system that systematically uses the functions of the climate control system (including fragrancing), the seats (heater,

ventilation, and massage) steering wheel heating as well as lighting and musical atmospheres. This is said to, allow a specific wellness set -up tailored to the mood and need of the occupants to ensure their wellbeing and performance levels are enhanced!

I think we’ve got a weapon on our hands

he 2019 Ford Mustang Supercar has been unveiled ahead of the 2019 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship. In full official Ford Performance livery, the 2019 Mustang Supercar shows off the road-going Ford Mustang GT’s iconic design cues and rampant V8 soundtrack ahead of its inaugural race, the Superloop Adelaide 500. “This is an historic moment,” said Kay Hart, President and CEO of Ford Australia and New Zealand. “To see the project come together has been incredibly exciting for everyone involved, and today marks the start of Mustang’s 2019 season. Mustang belongs on the track and everyone at Ford and our fans have been waiting for this moment.” Ford and Ford Performance, alongside partners from Shell V-Power Racing and Tickford Racing, have designed, engineered and homologated Mustang for the 2019 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship. The Mustang was officially approved by Supercars for racing in December, however the final look of the iconic Fastback has been heavily camouflaged until this week’s reveal.

“For Supercars, the Mustang ushers in a new era,” said Supercars CEO, Sean Seamer. “It’s a product that you see readily on the road, it’s been super successful for Ford globally and here in Australia, and it gives the opportunity to reach younger and older generations with a fantastic looking race car.” Six Mustangs will enter the 2019 series, from three teams, with two Mustangs for Shell V-Power Racing, three Tickford Racing Mustangs and an additional Mustang for 23Red Racing. “Today is when we show the fans what the Mustang Supercar really looks like, ready for the 2019 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship,” said Shell V-Power Racing Team Principal, Ryan Story. “This project wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Ford Australia, the Ford Asia Pacific Design studio, and the pivotal involvement of Ford Performance in the United States.” Ford Performance has worked with Ford, Shell V-Power Racing and Tickford Racing in getting the Mustang on the 2019 grid. Ford Performance has also helped deliver Mustang in NASCAR, NHRA as well as the Mustang GT4 that was showcased

alongside the Ford GT IMSA at the 2018 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000. “I’m really proud of the team in North America, and I’m really proud of the team down in Australia,” said Ford Performance Motorsports Supervisor, Brian Novak. “We use the same processes to develop the Supercar that we do the NASCAR Mustang, that we do the Mustang GT4, that we do the NHRA Funny Car Mustang. “That development has been proven out through other programs – the Ford GT at Le Mans for example – and we then transfer that back, that knowledge, back to the road car.” 2018 Supercars Champion Scott McLaughlin will head the charge for Shell V-Power Racing, looking to build on a successful 2018 campaign. “Heading to Adelaide as Supercars Champion is pretty cool, and being able to defend my title in the new Ford Mustang as it returns to touring car racing in Australia is very exciting for me, for the team, and everyone involved. “I think we’ve got a weapon on our hands,” said McLaughlin. Driving the number 17 Shell V-Power Racing Mustang for 2019, McLaughlin will follow in the footsteps of the legendary

Leadfoot legend does it again

cottish-born Alister McRae has upheld his family’s legendary driving status and made it a three-peat at the Leadfoot Festival – notching up a new record time in the mighty Vantage Subaru WRX STI. McRae had to give it absolutely everything to drop the winning time into the 47-second bracket for the first time in the Hahei-based event’s eightyear history. He even gave himself a fright as he

thundered up the 1.6km driveway hill climb to clock 47.99secs. “The previous run for me I thought was almost perfect but you have always got to dig a bit deeper. “I didn’t know the time when I got to the top but both my leg and my hand was shaking so that means I scared myself,” McRae says. He credited the combination of a 15-minute power-nap, a coffee and an apple, with helping him beat Rotorua’s Sloan Cox and his Mitsubishi Evo hill

climb special for the third consecutive year. Event founder Rod Millen had looked on track to wrest back the trophy for his own festival, when he set the fastest time of the day. However, bogging his wickedly-powerful Pikes Peak Toyota Celica down slightly on the start-line was enough to drop him off the podium with his 50.14secs no match for United States visitor Paul Dallenbach, who was thrilled with his first top three placing in his monstrous open wheeler.

Dick Johnson, himself a five-time Australian Touring Car Champion and who drove a Mustang in the sport in the 1980s. “In my eyes, the new Mustang is one of the best Supercars we’ve ever seen,” said Johnson. “It’s a great honour, from my point of view, that Scotty has decided to run the number 17. He could have chosen the number one, but he chose 17, and that makes me very proud.” Tickford Racing will also field three Mustangs for drivers Chaz Mostert, Cameron Waters and new team member, Lee Holdsworth. It’s Mostert, though, who will carry his now traditional 55 race number into 2019 for what’s a special time for Mustang. “My race number for the last couple of years has been 55, and it’s also the 55th anniversary of the Mustang, so yes, super pumped to have that number on our race car for the year,” said Mostert. “It’s good to see the Ford support back in the series, and I can’t wait to see the fans get out there. I’m absolutely pumped to get to Adelaide see how the car goes there.” The Ford Performance Mustang will make its on-track debut at the Superloop Adelaide 500 on February 28.

OUR VIEW

Don’t believe everything on Facebook E

nter the world of social media and anything is possible; it’s a world where you can be anyone you want to be, say anything you want to say. Reputations can be shredded in an instant, lies can be told, opinion is all that matters. And if enough people say it, read it, repeat it then if you read it on Facebook, then it must be true. Mustn’t it? At its best, social media is a great tool. It’s a vehicle through which people can keep in touch, can share their news, can post messages they want others to read. At worst it’s an opportunity to have a go, to knock, to slander, to say whatever you want about whomever you want without

fearing the consequences. Social media is a powerful tool and its tentacles are far reaching. You might be commenting, posting photos for your friends’ eyes only, but what about their friends and their friends? Get your privacy settings wrong and you’re posting to the world. It’s use has spread faster than any other communication tool in history; its uptake has been

so rapid that it’s grown without boundaries, without rules and without controls and largely without consequences. Certainly the reputable pages, those that belong to organisations or businesses with reputations to protect have moderators on hand who monitor posts and take down any that cross the line of decency or that are clearly contentious or libellous. That’s absolute common sense. Where the whole Facebook issue runs into trouble is on community noticeboards with huge numbers of members or followers, where discussions and comments range freely with little apparent moderation. To take part you simply sign up and get writing.

Anyone can post anything on Facebook and chances are the only feedback will be someone agreeing or not with what you’ve got to say. It’s a whole different ball game for anyone or any business being commented about. What would you do if you became the subject of a rabid Facebook poster? You’d have two choices and that’s if you ever see what’s written – respond or simply ignore. By the time anyone alerts you to an ongoing post-a-thon, the damage will usually be well and truly done. By the time those comments are spotted and removed they will have been seen by thousands. Let’s not knock Facebook. It’s

a great way for people to keep in touch, to share information and photos, to find answers to questions they have about their community, but it’s a medium that’s not for the faint hearted. It’s been around for several years now and its popularity is showing little sign of waning, but next time you read what seems to be a juicy titbit of gossip, a bitchy comment on Facebook, stop, think and ask yourself why should you actually believe it. Next time you post a comment, take a minute, think. How would you feel if someone put something nasty about you up there for the world to see. Warning: just because you read it on Facebook doesn’t mean it’s true.

The upgrade gods smiled L

ast week I wrote about a couple of great sporting moments I witnessed in the flesh and my hope that the Breakers game we went to in Auckland would join the list. In a way it did, but not for the game itself, especially as a Breakers supporter. They were totally outplayed from the tip-off to the final whistle. The Breakers had no energy or enthusiasm and the Melbourne side were the polar opposite. But! It joined my list of great sporting moments in the flesh list because the upgrade gods were smiling on us that night. Manda and I arrived reasonably early to the game. I had read online that if you wore a cardboard Burger King crown before tip-off you had a chance to win a courtside seat swap. I thought ‘what the hey’, it’s not like anyone will know us here and you just never know your luck. We had pretty good seats as it was, about 15 rows above the Breakers’ bench. We noticed the court announcer look up at us a couple of times but thought nothing more of it. A few minutes before the game started the announcer

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

said it’s time to find the seat upgrade winners, but she went over the other side of the court. That’s our chances gone we thought and Manda took her silly looking crown off. “Stand up and boogie if you’re wearing a crown” the announcer said. “Bugger that” I said. But I did leave my crown on, just in case. Nek minnit, we are on the big screen and being announced as the winners. Seconds later we were tapped on the shoulder and taken downstairs by one of the Spark Arena team. “Not only do you get courtside seats but you also get complimentary drinks and food for the night” she informed us. YES!! As we walked round to our new seats, I was still expecting to be a few rows back, but oh no, we were in the front row. We were that close to the action, that when the players were

“

We didn’t even have to leave our seats for a beverage. As you can imagine, I took full advantage of this

in-bounding the ball we could have reached out and touched them. It felt like you were part of the action! We were sitting right beside radio personality Kerre Woodham who chatted away happily to Manda throughout the game. We were waited on throughout the game and didn’t even have to leave our seats for a beverage. As you can imagine, I took full advantage of this, which helped give me the necessary confidence to pass on quite a bit of advice to the refs in the second half. It’s just a shame we didn’t see the Breakers side that turned up in Melbourne on Sunday night and went to overtime. I wish we saw more of big man

Shawn Long, I’m picking he upset the coach during the first half as he was benched for most of the second half and he wasn’t in foul trouble. I don’t think he was happy being subbed late in the first half and might have chipped Kevin Braswell on his way to the pine. Despite the 20 point loss, it was a great start to our wedding anniversary weekend away and will definitely join my list of great sports watching moments.

■ VIAGOGO

Dodgy AB tickets sold The scale of Viagogo’s alleged breaches of the Fair Trading Act is far larger than previously reported, according to documents filed by a consumer watchdog. Viagogo sold almost 1000 invalid tickets to All Blacks matches last year, the Commerce Commission alleges in submissions released yesterday. The submissions are in support of the watchdog’s attempt to gain an interim injunction against the controversial online ticket reseller. An Auckland High Court hearing on Tuesday saw Justice Patricia Courtney reserve her decision, with no indication of when she would make a ruling. Based on an affidavit from NZ Rugby, the Commission alleges that “for five All Blacks matches in 2018, a total of 494 consumers holding 947 Viagogo-purchased tickets were denied entry to those events.” Previously, the commission has quoted 587 complaints about Viagogo, with 79 of those involving invalid tickets for various

sporting events and concerts. Beyond allegations of invalid tickets, hundreds – including angry All Blacks fan Ian Henderson – allege they overpaid for tickets, thinking Viagogo was the only option. Like a number of sports bodies, including NZ Cricket and the organisers of the ASB Classic tennis tournament, NZ Rugby has issued a warning against buying tickets via Viagogo. NZ Rugby says ticket buyers should not click on Google ads for Viagogo (Google has refused to answer questions about Viagogo, saying it does not comment on individual advertisers). The rugby body also supplied the ComCom with an email, allegedly sent by a Viagogo employee, which offered tickets for

A real estate agent has been left red-faced after making an awkward typo in a property advertisement that could damage the homeowner’s chances of selling. While many might think the ad for the twobedroom Melbourne home might seem normal, a closer inspection could leave potential buyers scratching their heads. The ad was advertising a home in the Reservoir, but they described the property as “situated in the thieving suburb” instead of “thriving”. - NZME

Tobacco taxes up The Crown reaped a bigger tax take than expected from GST and tobacco excise in the six months through December, while KiwiBuild and welfare payments were smaller than projected. The operating balance before gains and losses was a surplus of $1.11 billion in the six months ended December 31, compared to $1.1 billion a year earlier, and tracking ahead of the $859 million forecast in the December half-year economic update. Core tax revenue rose 7.6 per cent to $40 billion, some $164 million more than forecast, with bigger than expected GST, customs and excise duties offsetting smaller-than-expected personal income and company taxes. - NZME

the 2017 Irish and British Lions tour of New Zealand. While second-hand sales or “scalping” of tickets is not ordinarily illegal, the Major Events Management Act (2007) rules out the practice in specific cases, including Lions tours, the commission said through Crown lawyers Meredith Connell at Tuesday’s court hearing. Although it has not been immediately apparent to disgruntled Viagogo customers who have approached the Herald, Viagogo acts as a sort of Trade Me for event tickets. The Commerce Commission alleges that on multiple occasions, sellers – often based in eastern Europe – resell the same ticket over and over. That means the lucky first

person to arrive at a concert or sporting event gets in, but everyone else who buys the ticket is told it has already been scanned, and is refused entry. Among other allegations, the ComCom says Viagogo has misrepresented itself as an official ticket seller, failed to properly disclose fees that often increase the cost of a ticket by a third, misled consumers about the number of tickets left for an event and offered a ticket guarantee that it cannot fulfill and has failed to fulfill on numerous occasions. In court on Tuesday, MinterEllisonRuddWatts partner Aaron Lloyd said Viagogo had made changes to its website and sales policies that addressed that addressed concerns raised by the ComCom – which he said did not, in any case, constitute breaches of the Fair Trading Act. For the ComCom, Meredith Connell’s Nick Flanagan told the court that Viagogo was guilty of “extensive fraudulent behaviour and the evidence is that it continues to the present time.” - NZME

he global reporting season has remained a key focus for investors. The annual State of the Union Address from President Trump also grabbed headlines. Central bank meetings were held in Australia and the UK, while the December labour force report was the key release domestically. Local investors kept an eye on reporting season in Australasia, and this week will be watching results from Contact Energy, SkyCity, Skellerup Holdings and NZX Ltd. The New Zealand dollar slid after local data showed unemployment, job gains and wages growth all missed forecasts. The unemployment rate rose to a higher than expected 4.3 per cent in the fourth quarter, after touching an unexpected decade low of 3.9 per cent in the prior quarter. The news sent the New Zealand dollar lower to $0.678 from $0.683 immediately. Bonds rallied hard, with twoyear yields dropping 7 basis points to 1.67 per cent, well below the 1.75 per cent cash rate. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is set to hold its first policy meeting of the year this week and markets are envisaging it will take an easing bias. In Australia, Reserve Bank Governor Philip Lowe said it was possible Australia’s cash rate might be cut further. Lowe indicated a rate cut was just as likely as a rate hike, given the slowdown in the global economy, weakening domestic demand, and issues in consumer credit and the property market.

ON THE MARKETS

The Australian dollar dived 1.8 per cent against the US dollar following the news. The third Global Dairy Trade event of the year saw prices rise for the fifth consecutive session. The headline index rallied 6.7 per cent thanks to an 8.4 per cent jump in the price of whole milk powder. The price of rennet casein surged 10.9 per cent, anhydrous milk fat climbed 5.8 per cent and butter gained 4.2 per cent. Bucking the trend was butter milk powder which fell by 3.1 per cent. Australia’s Royal Commission final report released on Monday, was not as bad as many had feared. The major Australian banks and wealth managers rallied as investors breathed a sigh of relief. Overall, while scathing of the industry, the report was less aggressive than many in the market had feared with Commissioner Hayne not making any recommendations that will fundamentally change the business model for either the banks or large wealth management companies like AMP. Commissioner Hayne believes the laws are there and largely fit for purpose, but need to be properly enforced by regulators, while culture needs to improve. The

Commission has made 76 recommendations, and the Australian Government has announced it will legislate for 75 – the exception being the recommendation to change mortgage broker compensation, from lender pays to borrower pays. Gone is the rhetoric from the Federal Reserve that “the next move in interest rates is likely to be higher”. In the US, the Federal Reserve signalled that rate increases are on pause and that its next policy move will depend on economic data. Former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said the central bank may have to cut interest rates if negative global growth starts to impact the US. Otherwise, the US looks solid amid a thriving labour market, strong consumer and contained inflation. Data on Wednesday showed German factory orders unexpectedly fell in December – the latest sign that Europe’s largest economy is struggling for momentum. Germany is being negatively impacted by a global slowdown and rising trade barriers. Trade worries have been an overhang for global markets for nearly a year as China and the US slap tariffs on billions of dollars worth of goods. The two countries have set a March 2 deadline to agree to a deal. Jeremy Flood works for Craigs Investment Partners. This article should not be deemed as advice.

■ TE RAPA

In brief

Big test for Adrossan Ardrossan has got hearts aflutter. Adored by his connections, the Redoute’s Choice four-yearold stallion will shoot for Group One success in tomorrow’s BCD Group Sprint (1400m) at Te Rapa. He showed he was worthy of a crack at the weight-for-age feature with a brilliant win in the Gr.3 Concorde Handicap (1200m) at Ellerslie on Karaka Million night last month, his fourth win in as many starts in New Zealand. However, the prospect of Ardrossan racing in top level company seemed remote when he returned from a failed stint with Melbourne trainer Mick Price last September, unplaced in three starts and diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat. Speaking to Trackside after the Concorde win, part-owner Waikato Stud’s Mark Chittick said: “He came back with a few heart problems. “Chris Phillips, our vet, has done a wonderful job with him. It’s early days yet but it certainly looks like he’s going to get back to his best. “Chris left no stone unturned. He went world-wide to find the best treatment he could.” Having consulted with cardiology experts from England and the United States, Phillips began a course of treatment that involved oral therapy and repeat electrocardiography (ECG) and blood tests. “It was a problem that had no quick-fix like for example a fibrillation. “We were told the prognosis was only 50-50 that he would ever race at the top level again based on the ECG reports,” said Phillips, who gave credit to Waikato Stud pre-trainer Sam McLeish for efforts in getting Ardrossan back to full fitness during that period. Working on the treadmill at Waikato Stud, Ardrossan could be monitored and Phillips found his heart had repaired and his heartbeat was normal again, a diagnosis backed up by clean ECG and blood tests. Cambridge trainer Stephen

A dollar each way A firm track for Te Rapa’s biggest meeting of the season could prove both an advantage and disadvantage at the same time for Danzdanzdance. But co-trainer Chris Gibbs is hoping it works out more on the plus side heading into tomorrow’s $400,000 Herbie Dyke Stakes. Danzdanzdance goes into New Zealand’s richest weight-for-age race a $1.85 favourite after two breathtaking summer wins, the latest under the same race specifications in the Zabeel Classic at Ellerslie on Boxing Day. - NZME

Classics on the radar Lisa Latta will have a far better idea about her Classic chances after three-year-old racing at Te Rapa tomorrow Saturday. The Palmerston North trainer has Lincoln Falls and Lincoln Sky contesting the Gr.2 Warren Storm Lifebrokers Waikato Guineas, while her talented fillies Secret Allure and Sentimental Miss will tackle the Cambridge Stud Sir Tristram Fillies Classic. Lincoln Falls will race in blinkers for the first time but faces an awkward draw of barrier 11 in his first start past 1600m. “He’s a horse with a lot of raw ability and I’m hoping for a truly-run race so he gets his best opportunity,” Latta said. - NZME

Hobart Cup for Lambo Trainer Stephen Marsh said he wouldn’t swap Adrossan for any other horse in the race. Marsh was rapt to get Ardrossan back in the stable and in the buildup to the BCD Group Sprint said it was as though there had never been any issue with the horse. “He’s perfect. “He’s got no issues at all. “He’s happy as and his work has been brilliant. “He’s as sound as you could get any horse and an absolute pleasure to do anything with. “He wanders onto the track each morning, does whatever time you want him to run, then wanders back home, eats, sleeps and waits to do it all again the next morning. “Before the Concorde, all those horses were jig-jogging about but he just walked onto the track with his head down, as composed as anything.

“He’s a beautiful entire. A stable full of him and you couldn’t go wrong.” Marsh accepted that the BCD Group Sprint was a step up from the Concorde, run under handicap with Ardrossan carrying the 53kg minimum, but expected his charge to measure up. “It’s definitely a step up at weight-for-age against those more seasoned campaigners but we expect him to foot it with them. “I wouldn’t swap him for any other horse in the race.” Marsh said he and jockey Jason Waddell wouldn’t waver from plans to race on speed, though he wasn’t sure if Ardrossan would lead with stablemate Ugo Foscolo in the field. “Ugo’s good. He could jump, lead and, with the rail out 5m

on Saturday, prove hard to run down. “We’ve seen it at Te Rapa before,” Marsh said. Ardrossan is the TAB’s $5 third favourite for the BCD Group Sprint behind Melody Belle at $2.90 and Volpe Veloce at $4, with Ugo Foscolo a $71 rank outsider. Marsh has eight runners at Te Rapa on Saturday, including Crown Prosecutor in the Gr.2 Warren Storm Lifebrokers Waikato Guineas (2000m) and Kiwianna in the Gr.2 Cambridge Stud Sir Tristram Fillies Classic (2000m). He expected last-start Tauranga winner Tightlign to run well in the last race and was looking for a bold run from last-start Dunstan Feeds Stayers Championship Final winner Starrybeel to confirm an Australian campaign. - NZME

■ AMBERLEY

Trainers in crash on the way to Rangiora Canterbury horse trainers Margo Nyhan and Peter Davis are in hospital with broken bones after being involved in a high-speed collision on Wednesday morning. The pair were travelling to the Rangiora races in a truck laden with five horses which was impacted front-on by a car at an intersection in Templeton. One horse, Game Changer, had to be euthanised on site after suffering serious injuries while the remaining four were removed and transported to a nearby stable.

Ashburton Guardian 31

It is understood a couple of the surviving horses have injuries, too. Nyhan is reported to have broken ribs and a broken wrist while Davis also has broken ribs. Meanwhile Robert and John Dunn had a good day at the meeting, winning three races, including the day’s feature. Classy pacer Alta Maestro took out the $20,000 Amberley Cup, taking his career record to eight wins and over $170,000 in stakes. One race later, Valloria made it three trotting wins on end with a dominant victory for the father

and son combination. Earlier, three-year-old filly Garta had resumed with a win after hunting to the lead from the outside gate. Queensland-based sire Mr Feelgood recorded his first New Zealand winner when Alston Roze sat parked and won for Gerard O’Reilly. Highland Star’s victory ended a wild, five-day ride for trainer Ron Paterson. The rejuvenated trotter sped to victory after doing the same at Geraldine on Saturday, before being disqualified.

Patterson and his co-owners, Dave and Gaye Luke, had Highland Star’s Geraldine win taken off them in the enquiry room under the lapped-on rule after their trotter galloped across the line. Though he was not in a hurry to go through that experience again, Paterson said Highland’s Star’s disqualification had a silver lining. “As it turned out, getting put out at Geraldine was actually a good thing because we ended up with a big stake at Rangiora.” - NZHN

New Zealand-bred and owned galloper Lamborghini will contest Sunday’s Gr.3 Hobart Cup (2400m), with owner Tony Rider hopeful the eight-year-old can continue his rich vein of form. Originally trained by Guy Lowry and Grant Cullen in New Zealand, the talented stayer has been in the care of Victorian trainer Patrick Payne since mid-2017 and has won three of his past four starts, including a dominant win at Caulfield last weekend. - NZME

Kiwis on the move Prominent New Zealand owner John Carter, who races under the banner of Jomara Bloodstock, has confirmed that talented threeyear-old filly Verry Elleegant will continue her career with Chris Waller. The winner of the Gr.3 Ethereal Stakes last spring, Verry Ellegant had been in training with Darren Weir, who was disqualified for four years earlier this week. “Obviously it all happened quite quickly,” Carter said. “She had a jumpout on Monday at Terang but has now joined Chris Waller.” Meanwhile, Carter said that multiple Group One winner Humidor will join the stable of Ciaron Maher and David Eustace in the spring. - NZME

Banned for four years One of the most incredible weeks in Australian racing history reached its dramatic climax when champion trainer Darren Weir was disqualified for four years by the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board. The 48-year-old appeared at the Wednesday morning hearing, supported by legal representative Patrick Wheelahan, but didn’t speak, with the RAD Board requiring twoand-a-half hours before delivering their verdict. Racing Victoria stewards had recommended a four-year period of disqualification for Weir after Monday’s show cause hearing, which lasted more than 11 hours. - NZME

■ COAST TO COAST

‘Everyone has a story’ By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Every person who entered the Coast to Coast had a story to tell afterwards, and Anna Johnson knew all too well that not all those stories had happy endings. But as the Ashburton woman prepared for her third attempt at the iconic multisport race which took competitors from one side of the South Island to the other via foot, bike and kayak, she was hopeful that this time the story she had to tell afterwards would be a good one. Not one to do the same race twice, Johnson had entered the Coast to Coast as an individual and in a team before, so this year she was tackling the two-day event as part of a tandem team with friend and workmate Amy Ferguson. Although they knew each other pretty well from working together at the EA Networks Centre gym, after the experience of training and racing together as a tandem team there probably wouldn’t be much the pair didn’t know about each other by the time they crossed the finish line on Saturday. That’s because racing as a tandem team meant being within 50 metres of each other at all times during the race. The pair had a tandem kayak and while Johnson was set to take the lead on her favoured run leg, Ferguson was the stronger of the two on the bike. Together, they made up a pretty good team. They said they were at a similar level, so staying within 50 metres of each other wouldn’t be difficult, and they knew they could rely on each other. They knew that if one of them got down, the other would be there to tell them to pull their socks up, and they knew that they’d have a hang of a lot of fun on the trek from Kumara Beach to Sumner Beach, which was set to kick off on Friday morning. Having someone she knew so well there

by her side, was one of the things that Johnson was most looking forward to. “When you’re out there by yourself, even though it’s the same distance you’re going to cover, it seems longer,” Johnson said. For Johnson, 2019 was her third attempt at the iconic race. She completed the two-day individual race in 2014 and in 2017 she went back as part of a team, but it didn’t go so well. Another boat clipped hers in the kayak leg and broke her boat’s rudder. With no jet boats allowed on the Waimakariri until the last of the one-day competitors had gone through, it meant Johnson had to spend nine long hours sitting on the riverbank with a broken kayak, waiting to be picked up. She could only watch on as hundreds of her fellow competitors kayaked past, including her brother – top multisporter Braden Currie – who was in first place in the longest day event at that point, but went on to finish second. When you’d put so much into preparing for a race only to have a freak accident lead to a DNF next to your team’s name, it was hard, but she’d come to terms with it. “Everybody that does this sport has a story. “There’s not a single person that you could talk to that has done the Coast to Coast that hasn’t got a story,” Johnson said. Johnson and Ferguson just hoped that their story from the 2019 event would be a good one, because they’d worked hard to get to the start line. The pair’s story began last year after they both competed at Challenge Wanaka, raising funds for Ronald McDonald House along the way after Ferguson’s niece Ruby was born with a tumour on her spine which resulted in her family spending a lot of time living at the home away from home for families in their time of need. That was Ferguson’s first big experience of multisport racing. She raced the half, while Johnson did the full event, and after that they decided to take it a step further by completing the Coast to Coast together. Ferguson had never been in a kayak before and admitted she was petrified the first few times she took to the water, but with an experienced campaigner like Johnson in the boat with her, she was feeling good. She was excited – with a hint of nerves mixed in – as race day approached and said she had just one goal in mind, and that was to finish. There was no real expectation within the team as to what time they’d like to see on the clock as they crossed the finish line, they just wanted to finish. Simply crossing that finishing line was something that Johnson was eager to experience again after the

Ashburton co-workers Amy Ferguson and Anna Johnson are competing in this weekend’s Coast to Coast race as a tandem team. PHOTOS SUPPLIED devastation of 2017, and it was one that Ferguson never dreamt she’d get to experience. The closest she’d ever come to the Coast to Coast before was when she went as support crew for a friend about six years ago. “I just remember thinking these guys are amazing. “I’m pretty sure I couldn’t even run one kilometre at that time,” Ferguson said. Now the personal trainer was ready to tackle the 30km run, the 70km kayak and the 140km on both road and mountain bike that made up the Coast to Coast, and who knew what challenge would come after that. For Johnson though, what came next was already decided. Like many multisporters, in the past she’d suffered from “post-race depression”. When you’d put so much time and effort into building towards something and when

“

it was done, you felt a bit lost without a goal. There were two cures – find another goal, or retiring. In the past, Johnson had found a new event to work towards, but this time she was looking like taking the other path. With two kids at home who were growing up fast, she said she’d had her time, and now it was her kids’ time. She still had places she wanted to go and run, and challenges in mind, but from now on they’d be more from a recreational point of view rather than a competitive one. The time was right, and it just happened that the time had come in a year when Johnson’s brother Glen Currie was in charge of the race for the first time. Currie – a former top-class Coast to Coast competitor himself – was the new race director and Johnson said it was fitting that her final race was also Currie’s first in his new role.

There’s not a single person that you could talk to that has done the Coast to Coast that hasn’t got a story

CATCHES WIN MATCHES

Ashburton Guardian 33

In brief Ducks all in a row An Australian women’s cricket team produced one of the all-time collapses to be bowled out for 10 on Wednesday. The South Australian lineup recorded eight ducks with a high score of six which was attributed to extras in a National Indigenous Cricket Championship clash with New South Wales. The only runs from the bat were scored by opener Febi Mansell who managed four from a 33-ball stay at the crease. New South Wales reached the target in the third over. - AAP

Ferns upset India The White Ferns have caused a massive Indian collapse to claim a superb win in their T20 series opener. Chasing 160 for victory, India were cruising at 102-1 halfway through the 12th over, but an Amelia Kerr breakthrough and a Lea Tahuhu barrage sparked a meltdown, and they were eventually rolled for 136. Kerr took the big wicket of Smriti Mandhana, the batswoman who had given New Zealand so many problems in the ODI series. Just as all looked lost, Kerr had Mandhana caught in the deep; Hannah Rowe holding onto a smart catch, before Tahuhu drew three consecutive loose shots to rip through the middle order. - NZME

Short in; Starc out Captured taking a low catch for his Ashburton College First XI cricket side on Saturday was Devon Flannery. The catch helped Ashburton College on their way to a omprehensive victory on day two of their two-day match against the Christchurch Boys’ High School (CBHS) Colts XI in the Canter-

bury Youth 1st XI Cup two day competition, at the Ashburton Domain. On day one the weekend prior, the CBHS side batted first and were all out for just 32, with Tom Middleton taking 3/8 and Angus Jemmett taking 4/5. Ashburton College then made 234/9, with Jemmett top-scor-

ing with 71 and Middleton also chiming in with 50, and Isaac Bazley making 42. CBHS had a massive job on their hands to chase down the Ashburton boys’ target, and it proved far too big, with the side all out for 98. Liam Sullivan, Angus Spittal and Christian Thompson each

captured two second innings wickets. Spittal finished with the best figures of 2/8 off six overs. This weekend the Ashburton College side begin their next two-day match, this time against the Shirley Boys’ High School 1st XI in Christchurch. PHOTO DOUG BOVETT

■ CRICKET

Seifert making a charge BY NIALL ANDERSON Tim Seifert picked a superb time for his breakout on the international cricket stage. The 24-year-old smacked 84 off 43 balls to lead the Black Caps to an 80-run victory over India in the first Twenty20 – an innings that could have several benefits for the aggressive wicketkeeper. Not only did it show that he has what it takes at this level, after an underwhelming start to his international career, but it also came as the Black Caps selectors are pondering who will be their back-up wicketkeeper at the ODI World Cup. That player would need to be a potent hitter and able to cover multiple positions in the batting order, and in his first international as an opener, Seifert put his hand up with a superb innings. “I loved it – I wanted to make the most of it and having [Colin Munro] out there as well, who is experienced at the top, I loved every minute of it and hopefully with the series going forward we can have more of it,” said Seifert. “It was just a good opportunity being up the top of the order, to show I can bat from 1-7.” Seifert hadn’t made the most of his admittedly tricky opportunities in the middle order, having made 42 runs from 32 balls in his first eight Twenty20 internationals.

On Wednesday, he doubled his career runs, and spent more time at the crease than the previous eight games combined, playing an array of shots that inspired memories of Brendon McCullum in his pomp. It was a comparison that Seifert was happy to receive. “I’d be lying if I said Baz wasn’t one of my heroes growing up, you try and be yourself out there, but I definitely have looked at Baz throughout my childhood.” It was an innings that delivered on his promise as an X-Factor player – something that could be his ticket to the World Cup, though Seifert says he isn’t stressed about selection. “It’s about doing what I can with the opportunities I get. “I’ve just got to do what I do, and if that gets me over the line, brilliant, but still being young, I’ve still got time on my side. Don’t get me wrong, I want to be at this World Cup – it’d be a dream come true – but if not, I’ve got things to work on and I’ll get to that next one.” Now, the Black Caps are in pole position to hand India their first Twenty20 series defeat since 2017, but Seifert knows things could very easily flip in the second clash of the three-match series at Eden Park. “Winning that first game gives you the upper hand, but it’s T20 cricket – anything could happen.” - NZME

D’Arcy Short, Ashton Turner and Kane Richardson have earned ODI selection ahead of the World Cup while Mitchell Starc is a big omission for Australia’s tour of India. National selectors have named a 16-man squad for the tour which begins on February 24 in Visakhapatnam and includes two T20 internationals and five ODIs. Starc has been ruled out after suffering a substantial tear in his left pectoral muscle while bowling on the final day of the second test against Sri Lanka in Canberra. - AAP

Pakistan down Proteas Pakistan have beaten South Africa by 27 runs for a consolation victory in the third and final T20 international at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. The No.1-ranked side in the shortest format, who lost the series 2-1, batted first and put on 9-168 on Wednesday in their 20 overs. However, they lost wickets at regular intervals and left-arm bowler Beuran Hendricks took a career-best 4-14 for the hosts. Shadab Khan’s late cameo with three sixes in the final over helped to boost the Pakistan total. He clubbed 22no from eight deliveries. - AAP

New Zealand Cricket and Westpac Stadium have apologised for removing a banner promoting sexual consent during Wednesday’s Twenty20 international clash between the Black Caps and India. The banner, which read “No means no”, was directed at Black Caps allrounder Scott Kuggeleijn, who was found not guilty of rape in a trial in 2017. During the trial, the 27-yearold admitted the woman involved had said she didn’t want to have sex with him. New Zealand Cricket public affairs manager Richard Boock said the decision to remove the banner – made in conjunction with the staff at the stadium – was a mistake. - NZME

In brief Big shoes to fill St George Illawarra youngster Zac Lomax craves the centre stage but admits he might have to wing it to play NRL this season. The retirements of club legend Jason Nightingale and exit of Nene Macdonald have left major holes on the flanks for coach Paul McGregor to fill in 2019. And while Lomax impressed greatly at centre in Euan Aitken’s absence in last year’s final three games, the 19-year-old concedes that he might have to bide his time. “Whether ‘Mary’ wants me to play at wing or centre, wherever he likes me, I’m happy to play wherever. I’m not too fussed.” - NZME

Doggies to entertain They’ve been pegged as woodenspoon favourites but Lachlan Lewis predicts Canterbury will be the new entertainers this NRL season. After rattling a few cages in the back-end of an otherwise disastrous 2018 campaign, the Bulldogs are set to buck the trend of often-derided structured football, predictable block plays and slow ruck speed. Lewis, who is set to partner Kieran Foran in the halves, says the Bulldogs have built a game plan around intuition, playing what’s in front of them and not being afraid to chance their arm. - AAP PHOTO ROBYN HOOD 060219-RH-044

It’s all go on the bowling greens Betty Beck (above) sends a bowl up the green at the Waitangi Day tournament at Allenton on Wednesday. It has been another busy week on the bowling greens of Mid Canterbury and is set to intensify again this weekend. In the middle of a busy sea-

son, there’s been no shortage of bowling action most days of the week and this weekend both the Hampstead and Ashburton greens will be full to the brim with the annual Greenkeepers Triples. Thirty-two teams will compete for the title on Saturday – one of the biggest tournaments of the

year with some strong combinations lining up to take part. Meanwhile, it was a tough day at the office for the Methven side competing in the inaugural Canterbury Premier League. After leading the competition through the first round, the Methven side were unable to take

advantage of playing on home turf on Sunday and failed to add to their score, losing all matches. That leaves them in a perilous position in the competition heading into the final stages of chasing down the lion’s share of the $10,000 prize packet the championship holds.

Top advice for Brown Mitchell Moses is using his own experience as a teenage NRL debutant to mentor likely new Parramatta halves partner Dylan Brown. Despite being just 18, Brown is expected to fill the hole left by the departure of Corey Norman to Illawarra with coach Brad Arthur set to give him first crack in trial games. Brown is still listed as a development player in the Eels’ squad but he is expected to be elevated to their top 30 before their season opener against Penrith on March 17. - AAP

Spieth hopes to end slump Winning the Pebble Beach Pro Am proved to Jordan Spieth he was more than just a great putter. Leading up to his 2017 victory in California, the American had won eight US PGA Tour titles, including two major championships, on the back of world-class putting performances, particularly firing them in from outside 20 feet. In 2015 and 2016, he ranked ninth then second on the PGA Tour for strokes gained in putting. When he won the 2017 British Open aged 23, Spieth was on a steeper trajectory of major championship wins than Tiger Woods at the same age. But the putter has cooled significantly and former world No.1 Spieth is without a win worldwide in 19 months. The 25-year-old could use another reminder of how he used

his under-rated ball-striking to win at Pebble Beach two years ago. “It was really the first tournament I remember winning strictly with my ball striking,” Spieth said yesterday. “I struck the ball incredibly that week.” Spieth went on to claim another PGA Tour win in June of 2017 before notching his third major title at the British Open. “(Pebble Beach) was big for that season because I felt that if my putting was off, I could still win. “If my ball striking was off, I could still win,” Spieth said. Although a solid iron player, Spieth’s lack of power when compared to bombers such as Dustin Johnson led to a reputation as unremarkable from tee to green but spectacular with the putter. “I think (people) look at the

major championships first and key moments; I think that’s why,” Spieth said. “I was second to Jason Day in strokes gained putting (in 2016); anybody who leads the tour for a year is going to be looked at as a great putter for a long time.” Spieth recorded two thirdplace results last year, including the Masters, but failed to lift a trophy as his putting rank plummeted to a lowly 123rd. The Pebble Beach Pro Am is Spieth’s third event for 2019 and he believes a march back to winning form could start this week. “I’ve seen a lot of improvement with my putter over the last six months,” he said. Former world No.1s Jason Day and Adam Scott headline a ninestrong Australian contingent this week while two-time Pebble Beach winner Johnson and fivetime major winner Phil Mickelson are also in the field. - PA

Celtic keep in front Rangers have held on to beat Aberdeen 4-2 in a feisty Scottish Premiership clash in which Alfredo Morelos scored two goals before being sent off for the fourth time this season. Morelos opened the scoring before Sam Cosgrove levelled. Morelos scored again before a penalty for both teams either side of halftime from James Tavernier and Cosgrove made the scoreline 3-2 with just 47 minutes on the clock. The game turned ugly shortly afterwards as Scott McKenna and Morelos were both given straight reds for their part in a clash on the edge of the Aberdeen penalty area. Morelos’ red card was his third in as many matches this season against Aberdeen. Jermain Defoe came off the bench to net Rangers’ fourth goal deep into stoppage time, ensuring the three points moved Steven Gerrard’s team five points clear of third-placed Aberdeen. They remain six points behind leaders Celtic, though, after Brendan Rodgers’ side showed their depth with a routine 2-0 win over Hibernian at Parkhead. Rodgers had a team of players unavailable, mostly through injuries, but they were still too strong for the visitors and led at the interval by midfielder Ryan Christie’s 24th-minute drive. Striker Oliver Burke, on loan from West Brom, doubled the home side’s lead in the 64th minute with a deflected shot. Kilmarnock were unable to take full advantage of Aberdeen losing as they were held to a 2-2 draw at Dundee. Andrew Nelson scored for the hosts either side of Conor McAleny’s equaliser for Killie, who levelled again through Chris Burke’s 54th-minute effort. Kenny Miller had the chance to win it for Dundee in stoppage time but his penalty was saved by Daniel Bachmann. Hearts also missed the chance to further narrow the gap on Aberdeen as they drew 0-0 at home with Livingston, who claimed their first point of 2019. St Mirren remain bottom of the table after losing 2-1 at home to Motherwell. Hamilton boosted their survival hopes as they secured their first league victory since the beginning of December with a 2-1 win over St Johnstone. - PA

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Certain things are in place. Life will change you for the better, whether you want it to or not. Also, there’s nothing to be done about it, so you may as well just relax and take it all in. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Love somehow still sticks with you even when you give it away. In fact, the more you give, the more you have, and it becomes really hard to get rid of. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): When your friend is on the phone to someone, you can tell who’s on the line. You’re sensitive to the way people sound in relationships. It teaches you something about your communication style. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You have quirks. Some people hide them better than others. You tend to enjoy most the ones who don’t bother or who can’t seem to hide them. Anyway, someone finds your quirks irresistible today. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Practical advice will work for many but if it goes against what you’re feeling today you’re highly unlikely to be able to apply it, so why bother? Accept stubbornness as the quality that just might deliver you. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): It’s hard to see where you’re limiting yourself by complying to norms, but try and step back. Resist going where you’re led or answering what you’re asked. There’s nothing you have to do. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): If you’re too focused on what they might like, you’ll miss out on what you like. You’ve been cultivating your preferences and aesthetic for a while now. Isn’t everyone missing out if you don’t share? SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): If you’ve ever looked back on old work (or an old diary or historic pieces of your wardrobe) and cringed, well, then today’s cringey situation will feel familiar. But isn’t this just a sign that you’ve grown a lot? SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Has it been done before? Of course. Just about everything has, but not quite in this way, and not by you. The particulars of your approach and very essence will make this unique. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Being able to tell a good story is a quality that will take you far, not only socially but also with your work and your self-talk, and the way you organise yourself in general. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’d like to think you open yourself to help from friendly forces, and yet you also notice you’re tensing up around a certain area, as though you must do it on your own. This tension is your inner wisdom. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): There’s a need to be filled and you’ll get the sense that you’re just the one for the job. Now it’s just a matter of convincing the others, which will be no problem for you once you forget yourself and just do it.
