Winners, losers in school rolls

P40

Three primary schools in the Ashburton District have taken a significant roll number hit over the past year, while others have watched numbers climb.

Students at the district’s smallest school, Chertsey, dropped by almost 20 per cent over the past year, from 35 at July 31, 2018 to 29 this July.

Roll numbers are provided to the Ministry of Education as at July 31 each year and since 2000 Chertsey’s roll has fluctuated widely from a 10 year high of 41 in 2010 to a low of 22 in 2013.

Board of trustees chair Fiona McFall was not concerned at the drop in numbers, saying the roll showed a fluctuat-

ing pattern but generally sat at around 29.

“We’re relatively happy with where its been over the last 12 months and there are a number of new enrolments for next year,” she said.

The school was very much part of its community and in summer its pool became a community hub. Its 21st century roll peak came in 2000 at 54.

Ashburton Borough was the other big loser, with a roll drop from 434 in 2018 to 382. The dip had been discussed by the school’s board but it was not a cause for concern, chair Mark Cook said.

Hinds School’s roll has dropped from 141 to 126 and the reason for the decline could be laid squarely at the door of the

Ministry of Education, relieving principal Graham Smith said, A rebuild of a classroom had not gone as planned and that had affected Year 7 and 8 students, he said.

“A lot of parents opted to go because the facilities were just not there. Now we have the new buildings and we have to get the senior students back. This is a botched project that’s cost the school.

The doors are open and we want those lost students because we offer a good Year 7 and 8 programme.”

The future is underground

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

About $7million is being spent on a project in Ashburton that everyone will use, but few will ever see.

That project is River Crossing and involves burying a large pipe deep beneath the Ashburton River to carry waste water to a treatment plant in Tinwald and it will future proof Ashburton’s waste water network for decades.

Work on the project started last week with a site blessing.

Tewera King, of Te Runanga o Arowhenua led a karakia with mayor Neil Brown at the site where the new pump station will be built. Council staff and elected members and Environment Canterbury officers and representatives from the council’s contractor, Seipp Construction were also in attendance.

The River Crossing project had important implications for Ashburton’s growing population, Brown said.

“It will future-proof Ashburton’s wastewater network for our next generations, by ensuring our infrastructure will meet the future growth of our urban population. Not only does this project come with a significant price tag of $7 million, it is also culturally and environmentally significant, and we appreciate the input and engagement of supporting organisations who have helped to make this upgrade possible,” he said.

PHOTO SUPPLIED The project has been several years in the planning and comes as the final piece in the upgrade of Ashburton’s sewer network as part of planning for population growth in the future.

The existing pipe is at least 50 years old and its condition was unknown as it was impossible to test pipes that were full. It is the same age as the borough sewer that is progressively being replaced as part of its Three Waters

Infrastructure Seipp Construction managing director Peter Seipp said the council showed both vision and respect for the community in planning ahead and investing in future-proofing this vital part of its three waters infrastructure.

The project involves installing a new and larger wastewater pipe under the Ashburton River from Milton Road South, to connect with a new pump station

near the wastewater treatment plant.

The new pipeline will be 1100 millimetres wide, more than double the size of the current, 500mm pipeline.

While work is under way a section of the Ashburton – Lake Hood River Trail between Boundary Road and grove Farm Road will be closed. Signage is in place on the trail to show detours.

Winners and losers in district’s school rolls From P1 Lauriston school was the big mover in the July 31 numbers, rising to a roll of 104, the first time it has topped 100 students and a long way from a low of 44 in 2000.

Principal Colin Brodie said the growth was an acknowledgement of the efforts the board and staff had put in building the school’s profile as well as the strong partnership that had developed between the school and community.

After sharing a board of trustees

Methven NZ’s hottest town

with Methven Primary, Lauriston now has its own board and that had brought a much more intimate sense of governance, Brodie said. “It allows the board to be much more engaged and more responsive.”

Looking several years out, he said he was confident a roll of 100 plus would be maintained.

While there were gainers and losers, most schools saw little change in their rolls.

Netherby was one of those with

a roll that remained steady on 150 students, a long way from some of its roll low points – 122 in 2000 and 129 in 2009. And it’s a school that is still growing, says principal Phil Wheeler.

He counts the present day roll at 161, 11 up on July 31 and said there were indications this would go higher next year. It would not need many more students before a new classroom would be needed, he said.

He attributes the school’s

steady growth to having a good team of teachers and a focus on catering to the students living in their suburb.

“This is the biggest our school has been in 25 years and I’d like to think it’s because we have a sound reputation in our suburb,” Wheeler said.

Ashburton College’s roll at July 31 was 1173, up from 1142 in July 2018 while Mount Hutt College was virtually unchanged at 450 (464 in 2018).

Methven made its way into the record books at NIWA as the place with the country’s highest temperature during October.

The town sweltered on October 26 when the temperature rose to 29 degrees Celsius. This was among a string of exceptionally high temperatures recorded across the country during the last week of the month caused by an unusually warm air mass crossing the Tasman Sea from Australia.

While Canterbury recorded the month’s high, it also recorded the country’s low, -5.9 degrees at Lake Tekapo on October 23.

Across the country weather varied considerably with eastern areas generally experiencing wetter and cooler conditions due to the onshore wind flow.

Conversely, western areas tended to be a little drier and more settled.

The nationwide average temperature was 11.8 degrees, 0.3 below the October average. Rainfall for the month was above normal with Paeroa recording the highest fall in one day, 148mm on October 14.

October was also a windy month with several southerly changes moving up the country.

Thirteen locations across New Zealand had record or near record extreme wind gusts during the month.

The highest wind gust was recorded at South West Cape, 182 km/h on October 4.

Nelson was the country’s sunniest spot so far this year, recording 2308 sunshine hours.

Of the six main centres, Auckland was the warmest, Dunedin the coldest, Wellington the wettest, Hamilton the driest and least sunny and Christchurch the sunniest.

■■ASHBURTON COLLEGE

Busy year brings Gemma top award

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Gemma Taylor might be one of the busiest Year 11 students around, but she still finds time to give back to the sports she loves.

The Ashburton College student is this year’s winner of the Thistle Masonic Lodge scholarship for citizenship, earned through a long list of achievements both on the sports field and in the classroom.

It’s a prize with a difference, in that students are nominated and undergo an interview before a winner is found.

Gemma was one of eight students nominated and faced a string of questions from a twoperson panel where she had to state what she had done for her school and her community.

She was also asked if her fellow students were asked to describe her in three words, what they would say.

And she’s proud that those three words were smart, responsible and respectful.

When it comes to achievements, Gemma gives new mean-

ing to the word busy.

She is a member of the school’s 1st IX football team, XV rugby team, softball and volleyball teams, plays tennis for Aoraki, sails for the college and is a member of the school’s cricket team.

And out of schools she plays football and sevens in the Mid Canterbury women’s teams, plays softball for Fairfield and coaches under 16 softball, coaches a mixed football junior team and coached the girls Koru football team that was placed second in a national tournament.

In Years 9 and 10 she was awarded the top scholar prize and says she enjoys school and study and this year also won the top history prize.

And there won’t be any rest next year, with a full academic schedule – biology, chemistry, physics, classics, English, maths and PE and a trip to Indonesia on a Wallacea Trust school research expedition to work on forest carbon dating and a marine survey on the agenda.

Drew earns Year 11 top slot

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When her name was called as the top Year 11 student for Ashburton College, no one was more surprised than Drew Porter.

She knew she’d put in a year of hard work, but winning both the top scholar award and the top scholar in English prize were an unexpected reward.

“I enjoy school and had really good teachers this year and I suppose I do work hard and put a lot of time and effort into study, but this was a real surprise, I didn’t really think I’d get this,” she said.

English is her favourite subject, and next year she’ll be adding

maths, biology, chemistry economics and geography to her study list. And while she won’t be focused on prizes at the end of that year, Drew said taking out the top Year 12 scholar award would be a great goal to work towards.

School is not the only thing on Drew’s agenda as when she’s not studying she’s heavily involved with St John.

This year she was selected as a member of the South Island team to compete in the national championships and that involved many hours of study and practical work. It also meant her favourite sport, netball, had to be

shelved for the year.

“I was away nearly every weekend at the start of the year as part of the Auckland competition,” she said.

Drew finished in 5th place as an individual and was part of the South Island team that finished 4th in the event.

While she still has another two years of secondary study, Drew is looking ahead to life after school.

Currently she’s considering law as a career option.

With exams still to complete, she is looking ahead to the summer holidays and hopes she can boost her cash reserves with work on the family farm.

Frustration over park damage

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Volunteers who have put hours into the construction of Ashburton’s own mountain bike skills park have a clear message for anybody making changes to the area, work with us, not against us.

Members of the Mid Canterbury Mountain Bike have been left to clean up the skills park which is located off Dobson Street after people attempted to change the layout of elements of the park and removed native plants that had been planted in the area by the club.

“We have had a few incidents in the area which are probably vandalism,” committee member Mike Kettley said.

“It gets a bit frustrating as it is there for the general public to use, but if people want to change things, come along to a working bee or one of our planting days.”

In the past few years the skills park has taken off, with more than $100,000 of community grants going towards its development, and a huge number of volunteer hours from club members.

“There has also been more than 2500 natives planted,” he said.

Posters for peace The winner of Ashburton’s own peace poster competition will get to see their work judged against other posters from around the world.

The competition, organised

by Lions International challenged 11-to-13-year-olds to produce their best peace piece. Ashburton’s winner was Sophia Clifford whose poster will now go to America to be judged. The competition was held in conjunction with the Ashburton County Lions Club and the Ashburton Art Gallery.

“All the tracks have been built by members and done through grants from things like trail funds and the Lions and fundraising from club members.”

A big issue they faced was that the general public perception of the park was that it was on Council owned land, and not run by a

club made up of volunteers.

Kettley said everybody is welcome and encouraged to use the park, but to leave it as they find it.

“It can be quite unsafe (people making modifications to the park), as it disrupts the runs that have been designed and can be

quite dangerous,” he said.

“It is here for people to enjoy, and we would rather people speak to the club if they think something should be changed or join in and help out in working bees.”

Kettley said there had been some incidents of note where people had damaged trails by riding motorbikes in the park, or had ripped out natives that had been planted.

The club does have security cameras operating at the site and are aware of some of those responsible for damage in the past, and while it is not their preferred option, taking the issue up with the Police is available to them.

The club has also put a large amount of work in to developing the track north of the Ashburton River Bridge but is also experiencing issues with people not following the rules in this area, using motorbikes and even riding horses along the track.

There have also been instances of people walking on bike-exclusive tracks, and Kettley said while it is important bikers and cyclists respect each other on shared tracks, it was important people respected bike-only tracks.

What accused killer Googled NZME The jury for the man accused of murdering Grace Millane spent yesterday watching CCTV footage of the pair – and possibly the last moments of the British backpacker’s life.

Police obtained dozens of hours of footage and found Millane and the 27-year-old accused had spent the evening of December 1 last year at several bars and restaurants in downtown Auckland.

Video also shows them taking the lift to the accused’s apartment in the CityLife hotel – the last images of Millane alive.

Millane had arrived in Auckland on November 20 as part of a year-long solo OE. She met the accused after matching on the dating app Tinder.

The accused, who has interim name suppression, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Millane.

He admits being with her when she died and disposing of her body in the Waitakere Ranges, but claims he did not intentionally harm the young Brit.

The afternoon session of day four of the trial, which is expected to run for about a month, began at 2.15pm before Justice Simon Moore in the High Court at Auckland.

Grace Millane’s mum Gillian burst into tears and left the courtroom as phone and internet activity – believed to be that of the accused – was detailed yesterday.

The first search was at 1.29am on December 2 for Waitakere Ranges.

Later, Waitakere Ranges was searched on Google Maps and at 1.31am a search for “hottest fire” was made, the court heard.

Further internet searches included “car hire Auckland”, “time in London”, “large sports bags”, “flesh-eating birds” and “are there vultures in New Zealand?”.

The pressure of being successful I

f you had the opportunity to stand up in front of a group of young people, living in Mid Canterbury, to give them some advice on how they should go about the next stages of their lives as their schooling days come to an end, what would you say?

Prizegiving time as the end of another school year looms is a good opportunity to do just that. So many thoughts, plans and emotions will be running through those young minds as they try and decide what to do next and any advice thrown in their direction they’ll tend to hang on every word said.

How do I know? I remember being just like that.

I’d sit in the seats at school and listen to these inspiring speakers who would come and tell tales of how they applied themselves in school, studied hard to get into university and then went on to find incredible jobs.

It was impressive and hard not to be in awe at what they’d achieved. It made you, even if it was for just a brief moment, want to go and do better with your

schooling, to achieve higher and shoot for the ultimate education.

But the harsh reality is that those sorts of tales are in some ways, selling a lie.

Those success stories that we hear of don’t apply to everyone.

No matter how hard some might work to achieve them.

It’s not for everyone. And nor should it be.

I can look at my core group of friends from school and safely say that five per cent of them took that path and have come out on the other side and now lead highly successful lives.

Another 45 per cent are just doing their thing, hoping for the best and praying for that big promotion which will shift them

into the next percentile.

They’re happy, content and enjoying life, but many still have big student loans hanging over their heads and will be working for a few years yet to get them paid off.

Then, there’s probably another 40 per cent who didn’t strive for higher educational honours and instead took their learnings from the classroom and applied them into real life.

In short, they went out and got a job – in some cases found a couple of jobs – and made gains in the most valuable experiences of them all, life.

A large number of them are now what you could consider as being hugely successful in their

fields. They took a gamble that the schooling life wasn’t for them and they’re now, through learning while on the job, running their own businesses or managing someone else’s for them and doing it quite nicely.

We put this expectation on schooling being the be-all and end-all when it comes to life.

Yes, school is important and lays the platform for the future.

But you should never underestimate just how important it is that for some individuals it’s more critical to get out and live life a little more than from what can be achieved within the classroom.

Take it from someone who did exactly that and is incredibly happy that they did.

Today’s highlight in history: On November 8, 2000, a state wide recount began in Florida, which emerged as critical in deciding the winner of the 2000 presidential election. Earlier that day, Vice President Al Gore had telephoned Texas Gov. George W Bush to concede, but called back about an hour later to retract his concession.

On this date: On November 8, 1861, during the Civil War, the USS San Jacinto intercepted a British mail steamer, the Trent, and detained a pair of Confederate diplomats who were enroute to Europe to seek support for the Southern cause.

In 1864, President Abraham Lincoln won re-election as he defeated Democratic challenger George B. McClellan.

In 1923, Adolf Hitler launched his first attempt at seizing power in Germany with a failed coup in Munich that came to be known as the Beer-Hall Putsch.

In 1936, New Zealanders were part of the International Column of anti-fascist volunteers who marched into besieged Madrid, bolstering the city against the assault of General Francisco Franco’s rebel armies.

There’s a nap for that F

rom the “I probably need to think about this a bit more” file of crazy ideas from Hooper Industries.

I have stumbled across an idea to rival my mouse flavoured cat food scheme, which I still think is a winner and I’m still waiting for that call from an investor.

The council is about to spend thousands of our hard earned on revitalising the CBD. I have stolen a new business idea that could revitalise both the people in the CBD and one of the empty shops around town at the same time.

The business has just opened its doors in Toronto and although it might be more suited to the hustle and bustle of a stressful city life, with water reforms weighing heavily on our rural friends’ minds and the flow-on effect of that into town, this could be a winner!

Nap It Up is a studio that invites its patrons to drop in and … drop off.

Its aim is to provide some peace and quiet to busy Torontonians who feel the need to slow down and enjoy a little shut eye.

Nap It Up is the brainchild of Mehzabeen Rahman and her husband, who say they were both finding it hard to stay awake throughout the day.

Starting at $10, mid-day sleepers can rent a bed for 25, 55, or 85 minutes.

The Rahmans have left nothing to chance in trying to make it the perfect place to pass out.

The 13-bed space is designed with a focus on privacy, and heavy curtains separate each of the beds.

The studio offers sleepers an

It is about time those that are meant to be delivering the supermarket pamphlets got their act together and did their job.

We live on Allens Road, near Racecourse Road, and we haven’t had a Countdown or Super Value pamphlet for five weeks.

We have lived at this address for four and a half years and have never received any New World pamphlets.

We miss out on other ones that usually come with them also.

We lived in Tinwald for 16 years and never had any problems.

I am not blaming the supermarkets, they have done their best to sort it out. I have had a lot of complaints by other people also.

When customers wake up, there’s water waiting, along with mints and a mirror.

And yes, sheets are changed after each use.

Imagine it, you’re busy at work and all of a sudden it’s 3pm and you hit a wall. It feels like you haven’t slept for a week!

“Boss I’m off to Nap It Up, back in 25 minutes.”

Your boss should be all over it!

Although encouraging employees to nap during the day might seem counterproductive it could actually help boost performance and productivity.

According to the American National Sleep Foundation, a nap of up to 30 minutes can help “restore alertness, enhance performance, and reduce mistakes and accidents”.

Napping helps you regain concentration and boost your productivity.

There are also health benefits as napping can reduce anxiety and depression by minimising your levels of cortisol (a hormone that elevates your blood sugar).

The length of time you nap for is important.

A nap of more than 30 minutes can cause sleep inertia and leave you feeling groggy as your body starts to enter a deep sleep.

Here are some more benefits of naps at work.

Naps can boost memory and information retention five-fold.

They can reduce stress and anxiety.

They can improve cognitive function and creativity.

They can reverse the productivity-destroying effects of a poor night’s rest.

They beat caffeine for improving performance.

I’m thinking if I added a lockup for kids as well, there would be frazzled mums with toddlers, lining up around the block.

Ten dollars for 25 minutes without the kids would be a bargain!

I do have some concerns around the heavy curtains, I know some very good snorers – like every male I have been roomed with while away at the Fairlie 500 golf tournament.

Especially Jason MacTier, who sounds like an iron lung in desperate need of a tune-up.

I think I will need something a lot more sound proof than heavy curtains for the likes of him.

Prizegivings I attended the prizegiving at Mount Hutt College on Tuesday.

I was discussing with a friend how very impressed I was listening to the speeches given by the students who have achieved so much.

Their achievements covered

a wide range learning opportunities offered. Viewing the list of sporting achievements first, second and thirds by students who participate at national and international level are a credit to themselves and to the college, from what would be one of the smaller colleges in New Zealand.

In the very articulate speeches given by the head girl and head boy they spoke of hard work, participating in school life, and their future aspirations’, which are a reflection of all those young students who received awards, whether it is in the academic field, sporting achievements or in music.

Congratulations also to the many others who have worked so hard through their school days and after five years leave

to pursue further education or work.

I would urge those of the older generation who criticise young people for being users of cellphones and computers (thinking this is all they do) to turn up to a prizegiving at either Mount Hutt College or Ashburton College, which my friend attended, we were both in agreement how articulate, hardworking and inspiring the young students in our district are.

The young people of today are far more in tune with what is happening in the world than we “Boomers” were, and they should be encouraged to express their opinions.

Remember, the school leavers will have an equal vote to yours next elections.

■■FINANCIAL MARKETS AUTHORITY

Privacy breach to be investigated NZME The Financial Markets Authority is investigating how six cases where sensitive personal information provided to the regulator may have been accessed by third parties.

The finance industry watchdog was left scrambling to shore up its online privacy settings after the Herald revealed that emails relating to a confidential complaint were published on the FMA’s website.

The Government agency had to shut down its website while undertaking a thorough review after media informed the regulator of the privacy breach following a tip-off from the public.

The FMA yesterday apologised for the breach that meant complaints documents sent to the regulator between 2015 and 2017 were potentially accessible via internet searches.

Chief Executive Rob Everett said the issue was rectified immediately when the regulator became aware of it, and reassured the public that any information provided to the FMA was now held confidentially.

He confirmed there were six cases where personal information was

published, while a preliminary review had identified 27 instances where documents that supported complaints were accessed by internet searches.

The documents were inadvertently uploaded to a portal on the FMA website, he said in a statement.

Of these, six contained sensitive personal information such as financial information. The remaining documents were either already publicly available or did not include any sensitive personal information.

The FMA has contacted those people involved to advise them of the issue and any further steps they should take to protect their information.

“We apologise to those people who supplied us with information and also to the wider public for this error. Their trust and confidence is critical to us,” Everett said.

The FMA first learned of the issue following an inquiry on October 21.

The regulator immediately shut down its website to ensure all information was protected.

The website was restored on October 23 once the FMA had con-

The FMA said it was still investigating the circumstances and has engaged KPMG to assist in its investigations into the cause and extent of the incident.

“However, an initial review indicates that information supplied through an online complaints form between 2015 and 2017 flowed into a folder holding information to be uploaded to the FMA website.

“At no point was the information ever linked to public content on the FMA website, nor could it be located by browsing the website.”

Everett said a full review of the issue would be conducted by an independent external party.

As a precautionary step, the FMA has removed the ability to upload complaints information via the website.

Everett said anyone with questions about information they have provided to the FMA should contact the regulator.

Overseas, trade news captured market attention, with ongoing trade tensions between the US and China looking to be improving.

Markets in the US touched record highs earlier in the week as a result.

Results swayed the local market this week Trustpower released its interim result on Thursday, with results inline with market expectations. The gentailer downgraded its expected operating earnings to $200-$215m, from $205-$225m due to weak hydro inflows.

Pushpay also announced its interim result for 2020. Operating earnings were up 413 per cent to $US12.7m and total revenue increased 30 per cent to $US57.4m.

Dual-listed Westpac released its full year financial results for the year ending September 30, 2019 on Monday. Cash earnings disappointed the market, while the bank cut its dividend and announced a capital raise.

The Global Dairy Trade (GDT) price index climbed for the fourth time in a row Tuesday’s GDT auction had dairy prices climb well above market expectations. Key product group whole milk powder, which has the largest effect on Fonterra’s farmgate milk price, gained 3.6 per cent. The largest increase was in skim milk powder, up 6.7 per cent.

The only products that fell in price were lactose and cheddar, down 1.9 per cent and 0.6 per cent respectively.

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

trade deal with China Goods produced in New Zealand will have faster access to China and tariffs on various paper and wood products will be reduced under New Zealand’s updated deal with China, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced on Monday.

The deal concludes three years of negotiations by the New Zealand Government. Ardern said that it was a “significant improvement for our forestry and wood processors”, with China having preferential access to New Zealand’s $3bn wood and paper trade.

The upgraded free trade agreement will remain the best that China has with any country. In return, New Zealand will adjust visa rules for some jobs locally, including tour guides and Mandarin language teachers.

Employment growth continues to slow with firms less eager to hire in the face of a slowing economy New Zealand’s unemployment rate rose back to 4.2 per cent in the September quarter. This was higher than market expectations, up from an 11-year low of 3.9 per cent in the quarter before.

While the unemployment rate has returned to the level seen in the March 2019 quarter, it has largely been tracking down since late 2012.

Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) leaves interest rates unchanged at record-low

RBA Governor Philip Lowe said on Wednesday that the level of inflation, increasing house prices and stagnant wages meant the RBA felt it was not necessary to drop rates lower than the current all-time low of 0.75 per cent.

This was widely expected by economists, given that the RBA delivered a third 0.25 percentage point cut in five months at its October meeting.

Lowe stated that there was still room for future cuts, as central banks worldwide ease monetary policy in response to low inflation.

Japan’s services sector shrinks for the first time since 2016 Activity in the Japanese services sector shrank for the first time in three years in October as a powerful typhoon and a sales tax hike weighed on demand, a survey showed on Wednesday, raising a red flag for the world’s third-largest economy.

US-China trade deal looks to be pushed to December All key indices in the US reached record highs on Monday, following positive signs of a “phase one” trade deal between the US and China.

US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said on Sunday that the two countries were “making good progress” in negotiations.

However, on Wednesday the rally paused following reports that the trade deal signing could be delayed to December as discussions continue over terms and a venue.

Purest experience The all-new Toyota GR Supra has been designed as a pure sports car that attains the ultimate in driving fun.

Rather than only working toward specifications such as horsepower and circuit lap times, the sports coupe has been crafted to emphasise sensitivity performance, such as the degree to which driving could be felt to be fun, with car and driver becoming one.

Engineered from a distinguished heritage Ever since the Supra’s inception in 1978, all generations have been front-engine, rear-wheel-drive vehicles powered by an inline six-cylinder engine.

The latest rendition is no exception.

This time around, extensive attention has also been paid to the three fundamental elements of wheelbase, tread, and centre of gravity, thus achieving handling performance befitting a pure sports car.

Racing, it’s in our DNA The new Supra is the first global model

of Toyota Gazoo Racing’s GR sports car series. Toyota Gazoo•Racing is the organLatest facelift isation that spearheads Toyota’s global • 15,000km sporting programme• and2.8L theTurbo developDiesel ment of exclusive, performance-focused, GR-branded road cars.

o celebrate the return of a Brabham works car to the racing track this month, Brabham Automotive is pleased to announce the inclusion of a Competition specification within the Brabham BT62 range.

Brabham Automotive customers now have three variants of BT62 to choose from, the Utimate Track Car, Competition Spec and - Road Compliant Conversion.

Production remains limited to just 70 vehicles – irrespective of variant – with all cars available in either Celebration or Signature liveries. All variants including the Competition specification vehicles are available in either left or right-hand drive.

Competition specification vehicles are fully upgradeable to either Ultimate Track Car or Road Compliant specifications at any time.

The Competition specification is stripped back and ready for racing. It is lighter than the full-specification Ultimate Track version, with a Celebration or bespoke wrap rather than exterior paint and exposed interior carbon with no interior trim.

The Competition specification is delivered without a passenger seat or an Initial Spares Pack (although they can be included as optioned extras), both of which are standard with the Ultimate Track version.

This results in the BT62 Competition being available for £750,000.

Most importantly, the Brabham BT62 Competition spec features all the performance of the Ultimate Track version.

It has the same lightweight, FIA compliant carbon-chromoly safety cell with integrated roll cage. It retains all the performance of the Brabham 5.4 litre, naturally aspirated V8 engine delivering 700hp mated to a 6-speed sequential gearbox.

Completing the performance package are Brabham’s carbon-on-carbon brakes, which, coupled with motorsport ABS and traction control, provide unrivalled on-track stopping power and control.

Jason Plato, driving the Brabham BT62 recently for the new series of Fifth Gear, said “This is driving in its absolute purest form, which is not surprising given the family heritage behind this amazing creation.

“It’s a very serious car but it’s very user-friendly and confidence inspiring.

“It’s epic, actually.”

The Woodies!

O ur friend Roger Hart deserves all the credit for this story.

The thing is, he emailed some fantastic photos of Woodie wagons and it only took one look to know these should be shared with our readers.

But of course it also raised a question – how did these fabulous vehicles come about?

A Woodie is a type of vehicle on which the rear bodywork is constructed of wood, or is styled to resemble wood elements.

Originally, wood framework augmented the car’s structure.

Over time manufacturer’s supplanted wood construction with a variety of materials and methods evoking wood construction including infill metal panels, metal framework, or simulated wood-grain sheet vinyl bordered with three-dimensional, simulated framework.

The assembly of each wood-bodied

Bernard Egan MOTORING

wagon usually required over 150 sizes and shapes of wood, from strips several feet long to tiny framing blocks.

The bodies also required hundreds of different parts from hardware to safety

glass.

Wood-bodied wagons are actually heavier than their all-steel counterparts.

The Ford Model A of 1929 was the first mass-produced Woodie.

The body style proved so popular that Henry Ford was convinced wood was here to stay so he bought more than 400,000 acres of woodlands.

As time went on many Woodies passed into the hands of younger drivers, most notably surfers on the America’s West coast.

Along with the language, clothes, and music, the Woodie Wagon became a part of 1960s California surf culture.

The Woodie’s close association with surfies inspired the lines “I bought a ’34 wagon and we call it a Woodie” in the classic song Surf City by Jan and Dean.

And these iconic vehicles were immortalised by the Beach Boys in their 1963 instrumental Boogie Woodie.

Woodies required their own brand of maintenance, which prompted some people of wit and wisdom to suggest an owner sometimes needed a good carpenter more so than a panelbeater, especially in the event of an accident.

For many of us the Woodies which immediately spring to mind are the Morris Minor Traveller and the Mini Countryman models, great vehicles which we still see from time to time, and which always understandably attract interest.

Colour conundrum

H

enry Ford founder of the Ford Motor Company is said to have stated, “Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants, as long as it is black.”

Between 1914 and 1925 the Model T Ford only came in black.

The reason was economics, not style.

Black was the only colour paint that could be dried quickly, and speed was important at the Ford plant because of the enormous number of cars coming off the production line.

Interestingly General Motors did some-

thing similar when they introduced the 1953 Chevrolet Corvette, except they did it in reverse so to speak.

Buyers could have any colour ‘Vette they wanted, as long as it was polo white.

Renaissance time

N

ew Zealand pricing for the new Land Rover Defender will start from under $90,000 with the first of the new models expected to be delivered here from May 2020 according to its local distributors.

Almost 70 pre-orders have already been placed by customers eager to be one of the first to own the renaissance model – which was last manufactured in 2016.

Jaguar Land Rover NZ general manager Steve Kenchington says the iconic SUV has an exceptionally loyal following in this market.

He says a trend towards customers placing

deposits on new models such as the Defender as soon as they are announced is growing amongst their customer base.

“Customers are learning more about the model online and through conversations with local retailers and have sufficient confidence in the brand to place more than $8 million worth of orders – even before we have announced pricing.

“The early deposits are mainly for product at the top end of the range such as the Defender 110 P400 X, which retails from $164,900 and the 110 P400 SE which starts at $126,900.

“This level of support is testament to the

trust our customers have in the quality of product coming through from Jaguar Land Rover,” he says.

Kenchington says there will be four diesel and four petrol engine versions of the Defender available in this market.

“The diesel engines are all 2-litre with the Defender 110 D200 starting from $89,900 through to the 110 D240 First Edition which is priced from $125,900.

“A lot of initial interest has also been centred on the petrol engines – which are all 3-litre with the exception of the Defender 110 P300 SE which starts at $114,900.”

Medal hunt L otus Engineering and Hope Technology have unveiled their exciting bicycle collaboration – an innovative new track bike designed to deliver medals for the Great Britain Cycling Team at next summer’s Olympic Games.

The new bike will be on public display later this week at London’s Rouleur Classic event and make its competitive debut with the Great Britain Cycling Team this weekend.

Riders have been testing the bike in secret over the past weeks, and will continue their evaluation with a view to riding it at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Lotus Engineering is the internationally recognised automotive consultancy division of Group Lotus, best known globally for its iconic British performance cars.

Its industrial design innovation and expertise has been seen in sectors including aerospace, medical research, furniture and boat-building.

Lotus Engineering has created the unique front fork design and handlebars for the new bike, working with Hope Technology to integrate these components into the overall package.

This has included a full programme of wind tunnel evaluation on both bike and rider, plus testing to maximise the strength while minimising the weight.

Lotus has also worked on improving stiffness and front end feel to improve rider confidence.

Lotus has a highly successful history in cycling through its Lotus Engineering division.

In the nineties, Lotus was instrumental in the design and development of Lotus Sport bikes for cycling legend Chris Boardman at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, where he won gold, and in the 1994 Tour de France, where he won the prologue time trial to take the famous yellow jersey.

Miguel Fragoso, Executive Director, Lotus Engineering, commented: “Lotus has always been at the very cutting edge of lightweight racing performance with its cars, and now – after 25 years away from cycling – we’ve collaborated to apply the same Lotus core values to this new track bike.

“We look forward to working with British Cycling as testing continues towards next summer’s Olympics.”

Hope Technology has been designing, creating, manufacturing and testing innovative components for bikes at its Lancashire HQ for 30 years.

Countless British bikes and riders have benefitted from Hope products and today the business exports around half of its output.

After years of success in racing, it has recently moved into making complete, ready-to-ride bikes.

By Michael Guerin The New Zealand Trotting Cup favourites look right on track for our biggest harness race but one of their key dangers has been set an unusual challenge.

Favourite Spankem and defending champion Thefixer are both exactly where they need to be fitness wise after dominating the Cup trial at Addington on Wednesday night, Spankem grabbing Thefixer on the line in the 2600m standing start.

Spankem was the more impressive, coming from well back in 27.2 for his last 400m but Thefixer was asked to do more work, working to the lead in the middle stages and has clearly improved in the last few weeks after a delayed start to the spring.

Their Cup trial wasn’t the only good news backers of the pair had as they drew ideally at barriers six (Spankem) and seven for next Tuesday’s $750,000 great race at Addington.

Both have good standing start manners and if they show them again they look perfectly placed to settle handy, with the almost certainly desired scenario for their camp being them leading and trailing.

If they do it is hard to see one of them not winning.

The two horses most likely to park either of the All Stars favourites out would be Kaikoura Cup winner Classie Brigade (barrier eight) and Aussie visitor San Carlo, who has drawn the ace.

Spankem and TheFixer did their New Zealand Cup chances no harm at all at Wednesday’s Addington trials.

But the hard-charging Victorian veteran is in the almost unheard of situation of the NZ Cup being his first ever standing start race and he has only ever had one standing start trial, and that was against just two opponents a month ago.

That is hardly ideal in any race, let alone the New Zealand Cup

which has seen some dreadful standing starts in recent years but driver Bec Bartley doesn’t seem concerned.

“He is a really relaxed horse, I think he will be fine,” says 28-yearold Bartley.

“It is hard to get standing start trials here (Victoria) since we don’t have races for the pacers

any more but I am not too worried about it.”

Also facing a tricky draw is Sundees Son (one on the second line) in Tuesday’s $100,000 NZ Trot Free-For-All and he didn’t instill punters with any great confidence by galloping at Wednesday’s trials.

The field for the New Zealand

■■RICCARTON

Duplicity in fine fettle for Redwood assignment NZME

Duplicity will contest the Redwood Metropolitan Trophy Handicap at Riccarton tomorrow.

Duplicity has made his way south in preparation for his major target of the spring, the Gr.3 Christchurch Casino New Zealand Cup (3200m) at Riccarton on Saturday week, but he will have one final run before the big race.

The Duporth gelding finished second in the Cup last year and trainer Ashley Meadows has elected to contest the same lead-in race at Riccarton on Saturday, the Listed Redwood Metropolitan Trophy Handicap (2500m).

Duplicity heads into this weekend’s assignment in good fettle after storming home late to grab second-place in the Listed Feilding Gold Cup (2200m) at Awapuni last weekend.

Meadows was pleased with his run, but admitted to being slightly anxious after such a taxing effort.

“That is his style of racing, he gets back and he runs home,” he said.

“He just needs a bit more luck because when you are racing like that you cover a bit of extra ground.

“It was quite a big effort.

“I was a little bit worried about it heading into Christchurch, but he has come through it all right, so I am pretty happy.”

The seven-year-old gelding had four previous unplaced runs this preparation, but Meadows said the tracks did not suit him.

“It’s hard to get a line on him because he doesn’t like it wet. His form wasn’t that flash prior to Saturday, but he can’t really let down in the wet.

“The track is looking good on Saturday, so that’s a bonus and we have got a nice weight (56.5kg).”

Meadows is happy with Duplicity’s condition heading into his next two races and he said they are in a better position compared to this time last year.

“He’s more forward than what he was last year. Last year he had an interrupted prep when they cancelled that meeting at Otaki, so he missed a run.

“He needed every run to get to the Cup, but this year he is ready now, it’s only maintenance from heron in.

“This will pretty much be his final bit of work on Saturday. He won’t do much between Saturday and the Cup.” TAB bookmakers have installed Duplicity as a $5 equal favourite with the Stephen Marsh-trained Felaar for the Metropolitan Trophy, with Al Haram their next best at $7.50.

Matriarch trip ‘ideal’

There’s bad news, and good news

Group One performer Rondinella will attempt to record her first stakes victory tomorrow when she contests the Gr.2 Matriarch Stakes (2000m).

The Rogers James and Robert Wellwood-trained mare has been in good form in Melbourne this spring, finishing runner-up in the Gr.2 Stocks Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley and Gr.3 Ladies’ Day Vase (1600m) at Caulfield last start.

While her connections were pleased with both runs, Wellwood said they are looking forward to stepping her up over 2000m at Flemington.

“She has been racing well over a mile in Australia, but this is where she really gets her chance to excel,” he said.

“She lacked a bit of luck first up and then was left a little bit flat footed in her second run, but she really charged to the line well, which going forward to 2000m is a good indication that she is on the right track.

“She has been beaten by a couple of nice horses, a Group One winner and a stakes winner.

“We are really excited to see her back up over 2000m, which is probably her real pet distance.”

James and Wellwood are happy with the daughter of Ocean Park ahead of Saturday where she will jump from barrier two with Kerrin McEvoy aboard.

“She is very well.

“Roger was pleased with her

NZME

Rondinella has plenty in her favour for the Matriarch Stakes tomorrow. work on Tuesday morning,” Wellwood said.

“As Rondinella hasn’t won a stakes race yet, she gets in very well at the weights.

“She gets in at 55 kilos, so it really is a good race for her.

“I have been cringing at a few of the draws some of our Kiwi mates and trainers have received,

but fortunately we have been lucky and she has drawn well again.

“Hopefully the Kiwis can pick up a couple on Saturday.”

Confidence high in Monarch camp

By Adam Hamilton Things are falling into place for star Aussie trotter Tough Monarch.

The absence of buzz trotter Oscar Bonavena, a seemingly ideal barrier draw and pleasing trial have trainer Rickie Alchin confident heading into Tuesday’s $100,000 Group 1 NZ Trotting free-for-all (1980m) at Addington.

The sprint trip of just 1980m should also suit, especially given Tough Monarch thrashed a hot field in a scorching 1min54.4sec mile at Melton just three starts back.

“Everything is coming together well,” trainer Rickie Alchin said.

“He handled the trip across the Tasman well, has settled in nicely and Ants (driver Anthony Butt) said he felt super in the trial yesterday.”

Tough Monarch was given a relatively easy time in the four-horse mobile trot trial on Wednesday, winning by two lengths in a 2min0.5sec mile rate for 1980m.

He closed in 59.7 and then 28.8sec for the final quarter.

Soon after, Alchin learned

The Tough Monarch camp is confident heading into Cup week.

Tough Monarch had drawn gate five.

He’ll come into four if emergency The Dominator misses a start.

And Tough Monarch has plenty of early gate speed.

“The draw looks great, but I don’t know the others inside me too well.

“My bloke will get out quickly,” Alchin said.

Enhancing Tough Monarch’s good draw is the fact key rivals

Sundees Son (inside back row), fellow Aussie McLovin (13) and local Winterfell (nine) drew poorly.

Tough Monarch has gone to another level this campaign, winning five of his past six starts.

The eight-year-old is chasing his first Group 1 win, having been placed at the elite three times, all this season.

“There’s no doubt both horse and trainer learnt a lot from that Melbourne Inter Dominion series late last year,” Alchin said.

“He’s come back a better horse for sure and I understand his more as well.”

Meanwhile, McLovin arrived in Auckland on Wednesday after being on the same flight out of Melbourne with key Aussie NZ Cup runner San Carlo.

The pair had a day in Auckland before being flown to Christchurch today.

Tough Monarch and McLovin will both back up in Friday’s Group 1 Dominion Trot.

McLovin heads home afterwards, but Tough Monarch moves to Auckland for the Inter Dominion series where he may well be the lone Aussie trotter in the series.

The Melbourne Cup’s luckiest punter has revealed he was brushed by the woman he was with moments before realising he had won nearly $800,000.

Kenny was on a date with a high school friend at Crown Casino during the Melbourne Cup races on Tuesday.

In the aftermath of the main event’s stewards inquiry – which saw Master of Reality demoted from second to fourth for impeding eventual third-place finisher Il Paradiso – Kenny wasn’t aware he had won $793,000 from a $10 bet, thinking initially he had picked the correct top four horses but in the wrong order.

But the protest – which also saw Prince of Arran bumped up from third to second – was a godsend.

Speaking to former AFL stars Garry Lyon and Tim Watson on SEN Breakfast yesterday, Kenny explained minutes after the race that stops a nation, his date brutally told him she wasn’t interested and was eager to catch the next train home.

“I was completely oblivious. The girl I was out with said, ‘Did you win?’ and I said, ‘Oh, I put those horses, but I don’t know, I’ll check later’,” Kenny said.

“I had another couple of drinks … and she pretty much told me, ‘Listen, I don’t really feel it. You know, this isn’t going to go anywhere. I want to get the five o’clock train’ and I said, ‘Ah well, no worries, thanks for being honest’.

“I thought at least the day’s not over, I’ll open up the Sportsbet account, because there’s still a couple of races to go in the Majors.

“I open up the account and I suddenly started screaming.

“I’m seeing all these numbers mate and I’m like speechless, I’m gasping. I’m like, ‘Oh my effing god, oh my god’ and everyone at the restaurant is looking at me like, ‘What’s wrong with this clown?’”

The Melbourne-based carpenter was not surprised by the date’s reaction when his mammoth winnings were unveiled.

“She said, ‘Sit down, what are you doing, you’re embarrassing me’ and I’ve gone, ‘Can you just look at this for me?’ and then she started screaming,” Kenny laughed.

“The five o’clock train turned into a seven o’clock train. She kept going to the bar and getting more drinks.

“I paid for lunch, I paid for all the drinks. We had a bit of a laugh about it. She was ringing her girlfriends, she was ringing her old man as well.”

Kenny admitted to gambling heavily in the past, but was adamant he would put his new-found fortune to good use.

“I’m a gambler, I always have been. My family gambles, they always have and always will. I like a punt, you know. I know you’re not going to believe this, but I’ve been one number off Lotto six times,” Kenny said.

Big test for Johnson

McLean Park back in the spotlight

Recalled Kiwis halfback Shaun Johnson says he’s not chasing redemption in this weekend’s second rugby league test against Great Britain in Christchurch.

Johnson was dropped after New Zealand’s 26-4 loss to Australia last month, and replaced

by Kieran Foran in his first appearance for the Kiwis since May 2017.

However, Foran dislocated his shoulder six minutes into the first test against Great Britain at Eden Park, paving the way for Johnson’s return in Christchurch.

The 29-year-old standoff says he knows his performance against Australia wasn’t good enough, and the message from coach Michael Maguire had been simple.

“The main one is don’t play shit and you stay in the team – it’s pretty simple, really,” Johnson said.

“We’ve got certain standards around our footy side and I didn’t meet those in the Australian game.

“I understood that, came out and worked hard last week.”

Johnson said Foran’s injury had hit the team hard.

“It’s a massive blow for Foz, and the Kiwis as well – I was gutted for him.

“Seeing the journey he’s been on, the amount of resilience he’s shown to get himself in a position to represent our country again.

“But I’m confident he’s going to bounce back.”

Johnson says the New Zealanders are focused on producing an improved performance from

The Napier City Council is hoping the sun and rain issues which have threatened McLean Park’s future for major cricket will become things of the past with tonight’s match between New Zealand and England.

The T20 match, starting at 6pm and expected to last about three hours as the third game in a fivematch series, is the only international cricket fixture on the park this summer, although last week it was revealed the second Black Clash charity match between cricket and rugby stars will be played in Napier on January 17.

The matches come as the council tries to rebuild the ground’s reputation after catastrophes at two of the three most-recent major men’s cricket internationals, most seriously the 2017 Australia-New Zealand one-day match abandoned because of drainage issues, resulting in the transfer of two other games and leading to rebuilding of the oval with a new drainage system and an all-weather turf.

There was more strife last January when a twilight New-Zealand-India Twenty20 match marking McLean Park’s return to the international men’s cricket schedule was partly delayed by the glare for batsmen facing the setting sun, but a Black Caps match against Bangladesh in February went ahead without problems.

City council events manager Kevin Murphy said a report on the sun-strike issue had been received and discussions would take place with NZ Cricket over remedies as avoiding dates when the sun-strike was most likely to be a problem.

their 12-8 win over the Lions in Auckland last Sunday.

“It was a dogfight, and coming off how we played against Australia, it probably couldn’t have been any better for us to have a win like that – just a real gritty win.”

Johnson said that, apart from skipper Roger Tuivasa-Sheck’s

freakish effort in setting up the Kiwis’ only try, there had been no flash or brilliance in the win.

“It was just tough moments, and that’s what ended up getting us the result.

“We know they’re going to be desperate this weekend so they’ll be ready to go, but it’s important for us to finish the year off well.”

Shaun Johnson is well aware of what Kiwis rugby league coach Michael Maguire requires of him in the second test in Christchurch tomorrow.

Sonny Bill a complete unknown in Canada The rugby union and rugby league worlds might be buzzing about Sonny Bill Williams impending move to Canada and a record-breaking contract with Toronto Wolfpack but most Canadians are simply asking Sonny Bill who?

The vast majority of Torontonians know very little about or have little interest in either rugby code.

They know even less about a New Zealander named Sonny Bill Williams.

A dual international and twotime Rugby World Cup winner with the All Blacks, Williams is a superstar of the highest order in Australia and England where the codes are mainstream.

In Canada he is a mystery man.

To be sure, 34-year-old Williams is a mega star performer but the Toronto stage is a small one, an aging neighbourhood stadium with artificial turf and a seating capacity of 9000.

Rugby league’s only trans-Atlantic club, the Wolfpack will make their Super League debut in England on February 2, having

won promotion to the top tier last month by beating Featherstone Rovers in the Championship playoff final.

Founded in 2016, the team have a loyal hardcore fan base and Wolfpack games have developed a reputation as a fun, affordable sporting option in the city of 3.5 million where NHL Toronto Maple Leafs, NBA Toronto Raptors, MLB Toronto Blue Jays, MLS Toronto FC and Canadian Football League Argonauts compete for attention.

The Maple Leafs are Toronto’s number one sporting obsession and the Raptors are reigning NBA champions.

To get noticed in such a competitive market would require a bold play and Wolfpack’s majority owner, Australian mining tycoon David Argyle, has apparently put his money on Williams.

While the Williams name may not get the immediate attention of potential new fans, the arrival of the codes’ richest player of alltime will no doubt attract the curious.

At a reported $5 million a sea-

Sonny Bill Williams doing probably his last haka with his AB mates.

son, Williams’s pay packet almost doubles the salary cap Super League teams operate under.

“I think this is a bold move and the right move,” Queen’s University marketing professor Ken Wong told Reuters.

Williams is equal parts mercenary and missionary.

It took a $10 million carrot to lure him to a rugby backwater.

Once in Canada he will be expected to perform well enough on the pitch to keep the Wolfpack in the spotlight but more important-

ly he will be counted on to preach the rugby gospel to the unconverted.

“I’m a firm believer in the marketing power of the superstar, and the investment – no matter how large – is usually worth it,” said Bob Dorfman, sports marketing expert at Baker Street Advertising.

“Especially, for a league or team looking to build respectability or make a splash.”

Bringing in a superstar player on the downside of his career is not revolutionary thinking.

Major League Soccer used it with great success when LA Galaxy sign David Beckham in 2007, to a massive contract.

That, however, is where the similarities between the Williams signing and Beckham deals end.

When Beckham landed in LA he was already a global brand having played for two of soccer’s glamour clubs in Manchester United and Real Madrid. While soccer’s popularity at the professional level had yet to mature in the United States, the sport was widely understood and consumed, particularly the international variety.

Beckham was selling a league, a team. In contrast, Williams plays a sport that is not familiar or widely played in Canada and his job will be to help grow the game.

“If you think about it what could you buy with advertising for $10 million? You think about him as part of your marketing budget and not just your team performance budget you can start to see some justification. It doesn’t mean it is going to work, but it just means it’s a good educated bet.”

Growing the beautiful game

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury Football has a fresh-faced new regional development officer, but he is one of the district’s own.

Darren Cavill has recently taken up the role with the organisation, and has his sights set on growing the district’s player base and developing the next generation of local talent.

Cavill took up the game aged six alongside his sister Jessica at Methven Football Club and has barely taken off the football boots since.

“Currently my job role is regional development officer.

“My task essentially is to formulate ideas on how to develop the players and increase numbers in Mid Canterbury playing football and futsal, then bringing those ideas to life,” he said.

“Coaching was never something I thought about when I was younger, with my friends it was all about playing.

“However as I got older and started coaching all I realised was that I wanted to wake up and have something to do with football.”

Being a professional footballer was Cavill’s original goal in life, but once he realised that was not going to happen, he found himself a bit bemused about his options, until he decided to settle on coaching.

“I was a bit lost, exploring other options until one day it just made sense to me to coach.

“It was an option I was never exposed to so I didn’t understand how possible it was as a career path,” he said.

“My biggest goal isn’t self driven. I personally don’t mind what level I reach.

“I just want to make as many happy memories for these kids and spread the joy of the game throughout my hometown.”

While he wants to help create those memories for Mid Canterbury’s younger footballers, there are plenty of challenges in the way.

“The biggest difficulties I’ve faced in this district is the absence

of players in general from age 13 and up,” he said.

“We only have one 13th grade boys’ team and one 14th grade girls’ team then that’s it up until seniors.

“A lot of players left the game in recent years in those ages.

“We’re seeing an influx of juniors getting involved and the exposure of futsal has increased dramatically in recent years so I want to build upon that, offer great playing environments and start to offer additional training for football and futsal and hopefully in the long run players will want to stay in the game and he able to compete at South Island tournaments.”

Another part of growing the game includes getting out and teaching the game in schools around the district.

“I made clear from the beginning (football in schools) has to implemented in the district.

“I coached at seven different schools this year and am adding three more to that in November,” he said.

“What I do there is try to create fun sessions that improves them without really realising, then like every coach should do is end their session with a game or small sided games and let them solve problems for themselves.

“It’s also great not to tell them what to do but emphasise the implementation of the skill you’ve just taught them.”

While having the base of young players is important, Cavill said parents also need to share in the commitment and enjoyment that comes with playing any sports, not just football.

“I can’t stress it enough when I say the best memories your kid will have will be sporting ones,” he said. “If you can replace a smartphone with a football or an Xbox game with a small goal in the backyard and spend time getting involved they’ll thank you in the long run just as I did to my parents.

“I wouldn’t be waking up doing what I love if it wasn’t for their sacrifices.”

Darren Cavill is Mid Canterbury Football’s new regional development officer.

Man City held to Champions League draw by Atalanta AP Manchester City defender Kyle Walker had to fill in as an emergency goalkeeper to help preserve a 1-1 draw at Atalanta yesterday, as the Italian side earned its first point in the Champions League.

Walker had to come off the bench and don the gloves after substitute goalkeeper Claudio Bravo was sent off for a last-man foul on Josip Ilicic in the 81st minute.

The defender’s first action was to save the resulting free kick – although not without spilling it onto the ground before scooping up the ball.

“I try and sometimes (wind up)

the other keepers in training, telling them to catch it,” Walker said.

“But as I found tonight, sometimes you do have to take two touches.”

He didn’t have much more to do, though, as City managed to see out the final minutes.

The Italian side looked headed for a fourth straight loss in Group C when Raheem Sterling – who scored a hat-trick in Man City’s 5-1 win in the reverse fixture – put the Premier League champion in front in the seventh minute.

However, Gabriel Jesus dragged a penalty wide three minutes before halftime and Mario Pasalic levelled for Atalanta four minutes into the second half.

Atalanta dominated the second period and its winning chances increased when Ilicic burst through clear on goal and was brought down by Bravo, who had come rushing out of the area.

With Bravo having come on as a halftime replacement for the injured Ederson, Pep Guardiola had to put Walker in goal.

Sterling posted a photo on Twitter of him and Walker – dressed in Bravo’s goalkeeping jersey – laughing on the pitch after the game, but added: “I wouldn’t trust you holding my baby tho.”

City remained top of Group C and five points clear after Shakhtar Donetsk scored two late goals to draw 3-3 at Dinamo Zagreb.

“We have to take our hats off to Atalanta. You know as well as I do what a good side they are,” Guardiola said.

“You can ask all Italian teams just how hard it is to face Atalanta.

“To take four points off them is a big success for us, especially with the injuries we’ve faced. We played well in the first half then dug deep in the second.”

Atalanta stayed bottom of the group, four points below Dinamo Zagreb and Shakhtar with matches against both still to play.

“At the end maybe we could have got more, especially after they had a player sent off, but we got a point and we’re still in it,” Pasalic said.

“We’re definitely looking ahead.

“If we play the next two matches like we played the second half today we can go good things.

It’s down to us.”

City would have secured a spot in the knockout round with a win and took an early lead with a delightful move.

Bernardo Silva played in a fine ball from the left and Jesus backheeled it into the path of Sterling, who slotted into the bottom corner.

Sterling had numerous chances to add to his tally throughout the rest of the game but he just failed to connect with a cross from Riyad Mahrez and then had a shot blocked by Hateboer.

■■ TENNIS

Top tennis headed to Ashburton

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Canterbury’s best will be back on court at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre this weekend, when Canterbury’s top tennis grade pays the district another visit.

As it has for the past couple of seasons Canterbury premier grade is hitting the road to play a round in Ashburton, and among those taking to the court will be a number of familiar Mid Canterbury faces.

Current Mid Canterbury Tennis head coach Jack Tiller is part of the Elmwood team, which will also feature local lad James Watt once he returns from college commitments in the US shortly, and they’ll take on Cashmere tomorrow in a much anticipated clash.

Tiller’s side is unbeaten after two rounds, and could be the team to beat this season.

Elmwood also features former junior national champions in Jamie Garbett and South Canterbury’s Elliott Darling, along with former top Wellington player Hayden Joblin, and current New Zealand Davis Cup captain and former ATP professional Alastair Hunt.

They’re a strong side, but so are Cashmere.

Cashmere is led by the Meredith brothers – Tim, Matt and James – who are all top 35 players in New Zealand and have been regular visitors to Mid Canterbury for coaching in recent seasons.

So depending on who makes the trip to Ashburton this weekend, it could end up being a showdown between a couple of coaches.

A former Mid Canterbury coach – Remi Feneon – also heads up the Waimari side, along with former Davis Cup captain and ATP professional Glenn Wilson, and inform recent Canterbury Money Tournament winner in both singles and doubles, Connor Heap.

Their Waimari team will go up against a Bishopdale side featuring New Zealand’s current top

Mid Canterbury tennis coach Jack Tiller will be among those taking to the court when the Christchurch premier grade comes to Ashburton this weekend.

PHOTO ERIN TASKER 211019-ET-0010 ranked junior, Reece Falck, and a couple of South Canterbury’s finest in George McAleer and Josh Cameron.

The day’s other match up pits a Te Kura Hagley side captained by former Canterbury coach of the year Hugo Nurse-Strang, against a Shirley side featuring former Mid Canterbury Gala Cup men’s singles champion Flynn Ness, along with Canterbury Country’s

Jamie Poole and Jordan Edwards, and age group national champion Liam Adams.

For the women, Waimari will take on Burnside Park, while Bishopdale will take on a Cashmere side featuring Ashburton’s Tessa McCann at number one.

McCann is the current backto-back holder of the Canterbury Open singles title and her teammate Ruby Young is a top New

Zealand junior.

Their opposition tomorrow – Bishopdale – features the Robinson sisters from Geraldine, and Jess Ottawa, a former nationally ranked junior.

The Waimari team will be spearheaded by former Mid Canterbury coach Remi Feneon’s wife Jolene and daughter Jade, along with Canterbury Country’s Kerrie Ling.

The Christchurch premier grade action at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre will kick off at 2pm, with the local open grade competition getting under way at the earlier than usual time of 11am.

Entry to the tennis centre will be free, the bar will be open and the barbecue operating, and people are welcome to head along to watch the top tennis on offer.

■■HOCKEY

McCaw, Whitelock back in the front line

Kayla Whitelock will be back on the turf for the Tokyo Olympics.

Hockey stalwarts Kayla Whitelock and Gemma McCaw have emerged from retirement to be named in the Black Sticks squad for next year’s Tokyo Olympics.

Whitelock and McCaw both last played in 2016 and have since started families.

New coach Graham Shaw has named the pair along with fellow returning players Julia King and Rachel McCann in his 26-player squad.

“We have been lucky to welcome back Kayla and Gemma after they stepped away to start families.

“We look forward to the invaluable experience that they will bring and the pivotal role they will play

in helping our team towards our goal of medalling at the Olympic Games.”

McCaw expressed her delight at being back on Instagram.

There is also a mixture of youth with 17-year-old Kaitlin Cotter and Holly Pearson, 21, rewarded with national contracts on the back of some impressive form this year.

They will join Central teammate Olivia Shannon, 18, who has been selected for her second national squad.

The three young Central strikers formed a formidable combination at the recently concluded NHL, and Shaw will be looking for them to develop this chemistry in the

strike line for the Black Sticks.

The side will again be led by the vastly experienced Stacey Michelsen, who is the most capped Black Sticks women’s player of all time after overtaking Emily Gaddum’s record of 274 caps earlier this year.

There are six players with more than 200 test caps in the side, and this experience will be vital as they prepare to improve on their sixth placing at the inaugural FIH Hockey Pro League in 2019.

The team begin their international season on February 1 next year, when they host Belgium in the 2020 Pro League at the new National Hockey Centre in North Harbour.

A high-octane battle to be next All Blacks coach is under way and Australian rugby could be waiting to scoop up their pick of the leftovers, in a repeat of the Robbie Deans coup 12 years ago.

The trans-Tasman rivals are chasing successors to Michael Cheika and Steve Hansen after both fell short of their targets at the Rugby World Cup. Replacements are expected to be announced by Christmas but while New Zealand Rugby’s main contenders are relatively clear cut, mystery surrounds the Australian process.

It was widely believed Rugby Australia’s director of rugby Scott Johnson had Dave Rennie in his sights to succeed Cheika and become the second Kiwi coach of the Wallabies after Deans.

However, Rennie is among a handful of prominent names invited by NZR to apply for the vacant All Blacks post and he said he was “humbled” by the approach.

Others certainly in the mix are incumbent All Blacks assistant coach Ian Foster and highly successful Crusaders coach Scott Robertson, while Japan’s head coach Jamie Joseph is likely to put his name in the hat.

It means at least three high-quality head coaches will be left without an international post.

One of them could then have their head turned by Johnson.

Deans was famously unveiled as Wallabies coach on December 14, 2007, just seven days after losing out to Graham Henry in a high-profile All Blacks race.

Whoever crossed the Tasman could come as a team, bringing his nominated assistants for the New Zealand job with him.

Conjecture surrounds the identity of each coach’s preferred assistants with one exception.

Highly-rated attack coach Tony Brown has committed to keep working with Joseph, having turned down approaches from both Foster and Robertson.

Joseph is weighing up a lucrative offer to remain with Japan and Brown indicated the Wallabies probably weren’t on his radar, in an interview with Sky Sport.

Brown also rated Foster and Robertson as the “leading contenders” to get the All Blacks back on track after their disappointing bronze medal return in Japan.

PUBLIC NOTICES

Dave Rennie may have a big job in international rugby coaching next year, but in which country?

Hansen and star playmaker Beauden Barrett have both called for Foster’s promotion to the top job in the name of continuity.

However, other commentators believe it is time for a clear-out and the change of approach that the charismatic Robertson would bring.

A NZR appointment panel unveiled on Wednesday comprised chairman Brent Impey, incoming chief executive Mark Robinson, high performance boss Mike Anthony, former All Blacks coach Graham Henry and former Silver Ferns coach Waimarama Taumaunu.

“We have made it clear that anybody who gets into this process, come along with your team,” Impey said. “Whether it’s your scrum coach, your backs coach, your defence coach, whatever it is we want to see a team going forward.

“Those 26 candidates know what we’ve been saying so we’re expecting that in the applications. This is high performance.

You’ve got to get the best; the very, very best. Our standards are very high. We believe our team has to be the best it possibly can.”

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You can recognise a vicious piece of work when you see it in the distance.

That’s time to steer away from it. Don’t wait until you’re right up near the action because there it will be more seductive than you think.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Your attractions have everything to do with unfinished business.

Someone who you subconsciously sense will allow you to solve a scenario that started many years ago is irresistable.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’ll encounter those who see relationships as a competition to be won instead of collaboration to enjoy. To minimise the importance of others to seem powerful is a dysfunctional and ineffective tactic.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Give the judge the weekend off. It won’t be necessary to assess your own worth, ability or goodness and even less useful to keep track of anyone else’s rating.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’re not trying to be controversial or unique. You’re just trying to project the most accurate version of what’s going on inside of you. Once you express yourself, you’ll find that others feel as you do.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): If a person stops being difficult, your life will get easier but not better.

Try to see how their current behaviour serves them. A higher understanding will give you something more useful than ease – leverage.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Stress causes shallow breathing or held breaths. To resist life is to resist breath. To process life, process breath.

Inhale for the rise and exhale for the fall.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You don’t need to be strategic in your socialising because you’re already attracted to the people who can most help you. A match of values often naturally winds up to a confluence of interests.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): This day will have strange pacing. It will seem as though nothing happens for long stretches and then everything happens at once. Use downtime for spiritual readiness. Envision success.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The luckiest thing you can do is bring relationships into harmony.

It actually won’t take much. A little help and cooperation goes a long way, but the very best thing you can give is simply your attention.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): If you find yourself thinking “this didn’t work” and “that didn’t work,” it’s a clue that you are performing to get a result instead of the far more gratifying process of developing yourself.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): That person who makes you feel more alive is definitely lucky to be around, not because anything in particular will happen, but because you’ll be more aware of each moment.

SHOOTING

STAR Local sharpshooter Shania Harrison-Lee has added another title to her ever-growing list of achievements by winning an Oceania Games gold medal this week at the International Shooting Sports Federation Games in Sydney.

The Ashburton College Year 12 student, who was this week awarded the title of Most Elite Sportsperson at the School during their prizegiving, has been at the Games all week where all shooting sports registered with the International Federation are competed for.

Harrison-Lee was part of the

Target Shooting New Zealand contingent who were sent to the Games to contest the 50 metre prone for both men and women, 3P which is competed for in three positions, standing, kneeling and prone and also the 10-metre air rifle.

The Oceania Games didn’t allow for the junior section, so Harrison-Lee was bumped up into the senior women’s team to compete.

And along with two other teammates, her side emerged on top in the 50m prone team event to claim the gold medal setting a

new Oceania team record in the process.

But it was the individual effort of the young rising star that had people talking the most.

Harrison-Lee, despite giving many of her fellow competitors years in age and experience managed to shoot her way into the bronze medal in the individual event with some remarkable scores which led to her setting a new junior record.

She set a blistering new record with her score (614.3) beating the previous Junior record of 609.2, set several years ago.

This was good enough to claim individual bronze in the match, with the gold going to fellow NZ shooter and Glasgow gold medallist, Sally Johnston.

The 50m prone is exactly the same as what New Zealanders shoot indoors, with the exception that it is at 50 metres rather than the 25 yard distance and it is outdoors, which introduces another important element for shooters, wind.

The match itself runs over 75 minutes and is a 60-shot string.

Scoring is electronic and final bullseyes are graded from 10.1

through to 10.9 (the perfect inner).

This means that a match is out of a possible total of 654.

Within the 60 shots, individual 10 shot matches are scored.

Harrison-Lee never dipped below 100 for each string, which enabled her to post a big final score.

There will be no chance for Harrison-Lee to celebrate the success for too long though as she returns to New Zealand to sit her Level 2 exams before preparing for the New Zealand Outdoor National match in February in Tokoroa.

Darren’s determined to grow the beautiful game
