Winners, losers in new water rating

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

IN TODAY

There could be big changes in the way consumers in the Ashburton District are rated for their drinking water.

While the Ashburton District Council is not planning to impose a user pays regime on district water supplies it is looking at changing the way it rates connections to those supplies.

And that change is being driven by the anticipated fall-out from last year’s Havelock North water supply contamination scare that saw 100s of people become ill.

To deal with what would inevitably

be much tougher drinking water standards, Guthrie said the council needed to unify its 10 drinking water schemes rather than rating these as 10 separate units.

The council has an additional two supplies that have a combined drinking water and stock use.

A unified supply will see most ratepayers win, but those on the Ashburton and Rakaia schemes will find themselves paying more in water rates, $29 and $41 respectively.

“We know there will be changes to water supply regulations and standards and that’s likely to require a new round

of upgrading. Our previous upgrades were based on the existing standards but the new standards will be even tighter,” Guthrie said.

“If the standards move higher we may have to put UV on the Ashburton scheme as an example.”

Currently costs for that work would be borne by Ashburton; if the district moves to a unified water supply the costs would be spread across all schemes.

■ THE SOMERSET GROCER

Coffee cups feeding the soil

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Every day thousands of disposable coffee cups are used in the Ashburton District and they all make their way into landfill.

Those coffee cups and their lids can spend years buried and stay basically unchanged.

Their wax and plastic coatings see to that.

While some coffee consumers have made the switch to keep cups, many have not and at least one Ashburton café, The Somerset Grocer is doing its part to ensure any of their disposable cups that do make their way into landfill will have a very short life.

The café’s new biodegradable cups are promoted as breaking down within five weeks of being dropped into landfill or the compost bin and that was enough to convince

Mark and Nicky Milmine to make the change.

“We’re already good recyclers and this was one more thing we could do,” Nicky said.

She believes it’s time cafes took a stand and looked at ways in which they could reduce their waste stream.

“These are great because the cups, the lids and the carry trays are all biodegradable.

The reaction from our customers has been great; everyone’s very keen to use them.”

Yes the cups are a little more expensive but the extra cost will be absorbed by the café; that’s the price of doing the environmentally right thing, Milmine said.

Cafes might be keen to make the switch to biodegradable cups, but that won’t stop those cups going into landfill. Right now there is no system set up to move these through the

greenwaste system in Ashburton, said Ashburton District council waste recovery manager Craig Goodwin.

On the positive side, if the cups were placed in the red wheelie bin as rubbish or in litter bins in town, yes, they’d end up in landfill, but they would be short stayers because they were biodegradable, he said.

He suggests the ideal disposal point for the cups would be in home compost piles.

Currently there is no system in New Zealand that will recycle disposable coffee cups for a new use.

■ FOREST AND BIRD

Endangered nesting birds welcomed back to Ashburton

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A new celebration has been chalked onto Ashburton’s event calendar, one to welcome home migrating birds for the nesting season.

And this week the inaugural celebration was held when Forest and Bird members gathered in Baring Square West with welcome home signs and a display of paper birds.

Ashburton is one of only a handful of sites in New Zealand that has nesting colonies of black billed gulls, and over recent days the migratory birds have been returning

to the Ashburton River where they are gathering in large numbers to begin their mating, nesting and chick raising ritual.

While last year appeared to be a tough year for the gulls, with floodwaters washing away many nests and chicks, a second nesting meant a record number of fledglings were raised, said Forest and Bird member Edith Smith.

“Now we have about 2000 birds scrambling for space in the shingle and last year the colony was about 1300,” she said.

The birds nest close to the wa-

ter on shingle islands, and that places their nests at risk from rising water. Creating shingle islands further down the river had been considered as a way to keep the birds from being as accessible to predators, rising waters and to humans but had not been actioned, but moving the birds very far from their preferred nesting spot around the bridge was impossible because of their inbuilt drive to nest where they were hatched, Smith said.

“It’s only if their habitat becomes not suitable or disappears that they’ll move.”

A new Hakatere River management plan for predator control now sees trapping undertaken for two kilometres either side of the State Highway One bridge.

Ashburton might have a small braided river network but it was a significant one because of the variety and numbers of birds that returned there to nest each year, she said.

In addition to the black billed gull, the river is nesting home to wrybills, banded dotterel, black fronted dotterill and a number of species of gull.

“Those numbers all add up and the experts believe it is a significant river.”

Currently members of Ashburton’s gull colony were arriving and undergoing a noisy settling in period as they sorted out mates and nesting space.

The serious breeding business would get under way in three to four weeks as the birds settled and became a close knit colony, Smith said.

And that meant the nesting areas should become no-go zones for humans, she said.

Local bids to become Miss Samoa

BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A familiar face on the streets of Ashburton may soon take out the title of Miss Samoa.

Twenty four-year-old Naitosala Jane Schuster, owner and director of Golden Paws dog-care company, has jetted to Samoa to strut her stuff in the national beauty pageant.

Schuster was born and raised in Samoa but moved to Ashburton in 2011, and describes the opportunity to compete as fulfilling a “childhood dream”.

“Most of the time pageants are seen as beauty contests … I see it as a platform to become a voice of the voiceless women.”

Schuster says she wants to apply her beliefs and values as a strong businesswoman, peacemaker and people-person to “raise awareness for all the peo-

ple in Samoa and around the globe”.

Schuster is sponsored by TAPZ Fashion, and competing against eight other women. She will be vying to prove to judges that she is a “young lady of good character and personality, who possesses poise and beauty”.

The pageant involves a week of activities, meetings, functions and rehearsals followed by the official Pageant Night in Apia this Saturday.

“I am enjoying the experience so far,” she said.

“We started off with an official opening service for the Teuila here in Samoa, and have had the opportunity to meet a lot of important people such as the Prime Minister, Vice Prime Minister, Minister of Technology, Minister of Tourism and more.”

She said she is grateful for the

love and support shown by family, friends and clients back in Ashburton, along with her boyfriend Peter Perte, co-workers at Mitre10, and pals at Jion Karate and Business Networking International.

“I can’t thank enough everyone behind me,” she said.

“If I win, we all win, if I don’t I’ll be happily returned to Ashburton to work on my business.”

Schuster’s proud friends have also been working to rally votes for her online. “Likes” on her photos on the Miss Samoa Facebook page, along with votes at misssamoa.ws/vote, are tallied by judges who award a Miss Internet prize alongside the main title of Miss Samoa and a number of other special awards.

Voting does not require registration, and votes can be entered every 24 hours.

Winners, losers in unified water charging scheme From P1 A unified scheme meant the council was better able to react to changing legislation and that meant its water supplies will be better and safer.

Local authorities around New Zealand were already moving to unified schemes so the idea was

well tested, he said.

Councillors liked the idea of a unified water scheme but they had questions over the Dromore scheme where a large quantity of water was used by just 32 connections.

Mayfield had a similar issue, but council funded meters

were installed at each connection and leaks and excessive use points were identified.

Councillors wanted the same metering system to apply to Dromore.

“If we put 30-odd water meters in it’d fix it overnight, but putting water meters in could

push their rates up overnight too but one of the benefits of the unified supply is we can deal with Dromore,” Guthrie said.

He’s also concerned that new drinking water standards could mean communities that run their own private schemes might find these too tough and

want the council to take over their schemes.

“If something goes wrong with those schemes it’s not good for the district’s image, but it would only be if we had a unified scheme that we could support that (taking them over),” he said.

Small towns with big ideas

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton has earned itself a slot as one of the key towns in a project that is aimed to build New Zealand’s economic and social strength through its smaller towns and cities.

Spearheading this section of a national science challenge aimed at building better homes, towns and cities, is Harvey Perkins and his team. They’re Christchurch based, but a large part of their work takes place in the communities they’re studying – Ashburton, Timaru and Oamaru.

“The objective is to understand the situation with regard to each of these, to talk to people across a range of areas about their priorities and what’s happening in their settlements. It’s across economic, environmental, societal and cultural issues,” Perkins said.

His aim is to find out what makes each of the towns in the study special, what works for them and what ideas could be used equally successfully in other towns.

One of the successes Perkins has logged in Ashburton is the Multi-cultural Bite festival.

“It’s well established and it reflects the significant change in the district. I’m interested across these sorts of initiatives to see how successful they are and why they’re so successful,” he said.

The project wanted to work

PM returning Prime Minister Bill English is making another visit to Ashburton.

English was in town in late July but he spent much of his time at Carrfields. This time he is holding a public meeting at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre on Tuesday (September 12) from 12.30pm to 2pm. English will be followed the following Monday (September 18) by Environment Minister Nick Smith, who is holding a public meeting in the Arrowsmith Room at the Hotel Ashburton at 6.30pm.

Morgan out of debates

One of the small town successes researcher Harvey Perkins has logged in Ashburton is the Multi-cultural Bite festival.

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN out how lessons from one town could be reshaped and reused equally as successfully in others, Perkins said.

It is also about identifying gaps in communities and working out how these can be bridged.

Ashburton was unique in some ways in that it had a lot of good initiatives, he said.

“There are so many interesting things going on and its proximity to Christchurch is interesting. It’s not like Oamaru and Timaru that are a bit more isolated. Each of

the towns are very different with quite different histories. Ashburton has its agricultural base and a significant number of wealthy people who’re prepared to invest back into the community.”

“We’re talking about building communities of interest across the country; we’re interested in urban regeneration projects. It’s about making these towns more attractive places to live.

Building better homes, towns and cities is Government funded. It is part of a national science

challenge that covers 11 priority areas for research.

The challenge is funded for 10 years, with the better homes project guaranteed three years worth of funding. It has just wrapped up its first year.

It is based on the premise that smaller settlements were variable successful and that while there was strong local and central government drive to support regional regeneration this needed to be underpinned by strong science.

Labour ahead; lowest level for Nats since 2005 It is bad news for National in the latest Colmar Brunton poll, falling two points to 39 per cent, the first time it has been in the 30s since 2005.

Labour is steady on 43 per cent and would be able to form a government with New Zealand First, which is up 1 to 9 per cent.

Labour overtook National in the same poll last week, 43 to 41, and Jacinda Ardern drew just ahead of Bill English as preferred Prime Minister, 34 per cent to 33

In brief

per cent. National’s polling has been steadily declining since May when it polled 49 per cent after a strong budget.

In two July polls it polled 47 per cent. In mid August it polled 44 per cent and last week fell to 41 per cent.

Just prior to the polling period, Winston Peters revealed that he had been overpaid superannuation for seven years and had repaid it.

He also accused National of

having leaked the information about his pension to the news media and it was confirmed that Paula Bennett and Anne Tolley had been told by officials under the no-surprises policy.

The full results: Labour 43 (no change); National 39 (down 2); New Zealand First 9 (up 1); Greens 5 (no change); Maori Party 2 (up 1); Opportunities Party 2 (up1), and Act 0.1 (no change).

Translated to seats in the

House, Labour would have 53 seats, National 48, New Zealand First 11, Green Party 6, Maori Party 2, and Act 1 (assuming that Act and Maori retain an electorate seat).

With 61 seats needed to form a government, Labour and New Zealand First could do it with 64 seats.

Labour could also just do it without New Zealand First, but with the Greens and the Maori Party.

Gareth Morgan will not join Television New Zealand’s political debates in the final weeks before this month’s election, a court has ruled. The founder and leader of The Opportunities Party filed an application for a judicial review on Wednesday after TVNZ excluded him from its political debates in the lead-up to September 23. The hearing was heard before Justice Geoffrey Venning in the High Court at Auckland yesterday. The judge ruled against allowing Morgan’s application for judicial review.

Children neglected Baby twins and their young sibling were rushed to hospital after being found by police in a severely neglected state in West Auckland.

When police arrived at their Massey home, officers initially thought the twins were dead due to the state they were in. The infants were surrounded by and covered in their own excrement when police found them. They were rushed to hospital with their sibling, another young child, and have made a full recovery. They have been placed in the custody of a relative.

Man dies after doctor orders him out of hospital After almost three weeks in hospital alcoholic Neil David Jones was dumped in a bus shelter by security staff because the doctor caring for him believed he was “looking for a free ride”.

Nurses and security both challenged the doctor saying he was clearly too ill and had nowhere to live, but were told to remove him from the hospital.

Two days later the 47-year-old was dead.

Yesterday, the hospital was among one of several agencies to be severely criticised by the coroner following an report into the Christchurch man’s death.

Key criticisms include: ■ The decision not to continue to monitor him despite concerns being raised about his health.

■ The fact he was not reassessed when he was brought back to the hospital after reports of concern from members of the public who saw him lying at the bus stop.

■ The lack of initiative shown by police in questioning the hospital’s request to have Jones removed.

■ The two to three month delay in finding space for Jones in a residential rehabilitation centre.

Canterbury District Health Board chief executive David Meates admitted the report made “sobering reading” and that the system failed Jones.

He had personally apologised to Jones’ family for the failings in his care, he said.

“Unfortunately it’s only recently that the full extent of the failures in our treatment and care of Mr Jones have come to light, and the Coroner’s report makes sobering

reading,” he said in a statement.

“This report has caused us to look long and hard at what happened in October 2013 and reflect on what’s changed over the past four years.

“I am satisfied that the extent of changes made are such that our improved systems and processes would not allow a repeat of the unfortunate chain of events.”

The changes included not discharging a patient unless they had suitable accommodation; the Speak Up training programme where all staff were encouraged to raise concerns; the ability for staff to elevate concerns to a duty nurse manager who will get the patient reassessed; approval of the hospital general manager before a patient can be trespassed; and improved waiting times for residential treatment programmes.

Meates said it was not appropriate to single out any individual staff member or team.

“The buck stops with me as chief executive. Our systems at that time didn’t support staff to do the right thing, and for that I apologise.”

A police spokesperson said they acknowledged the coroner’s findings but the decisions made at the time were based on the information provided to officers at the hospital.

“Police continue to work with partner agencies and are focused on responding to demand.”

Jones was admitted to Christchurch Public Hospital on October 8, 2013 severely jaundiced and unwell because of a long alcohol dependency.

He began drinking heavily in 2008 after his partner, with whom he had two children, took her own life.

HIV-positive Johnny Lumsden had unprotected sex with men without disclosing his status.

■ CHRISTCHURCH DISTRICT COURT

Christchurch man jailed for having HIV-positive sex A Christchurch nursing assistant who had unprotected sex with men he met on social media without telling them he was HIV-positive has been jailed today for two-and-a-half years.

Johnny Lachlan Benjamin Lumsden, 26, admitted criminal nuisance charges by endangering the health of three men between August 15 and October 19 last year despite his HIV diagnosis months earlier.

He told all three men that he met on the dating app Grindr that he was “clean”, Christchurch District Court heard.

Afterwards, the three victims were tested and cleared of having the infection.

When Lumsden was arrested, police found that he was also dealing the class A drug methamphetamine.

He offered to inject one buyer with the drug, saying he’d studied nursing and knew how to do it safely.

Lumsden, originally from Northland, “accepts without reservation” the significant impact his actions had on his victims, defence counsel Elizabeth Bulger said.

Victim impact statements were compelling, Bulger said, with one man in particular talking about the depth of anguish he has suffered.

Lumsden now believes he is

in a position to give back to the community, Bulger said.

He has written a “heartfelt” letter to an Auckland body positive organisation, which provides services for young men like him.

Bulger said his diagnosis of HIV was a turning point in his life, where “things started going downhill from there”.

It highlighted the lack of community support for people in his situation, Bulger said.

She pushed for a sentence of home detention, but Judge David Saunders concluded that a sentence of imprisonment was necessary for actions that were “quite reckless”.

■ CARIBBEAN ISLANDS

Irma destroys Barbuda Hurricane Irma lashed Puerto Rico with heavy rain and powerful winds on Thursday, leaving nearly 900,000 people without power as authorities struggled to get aid to small Caribbean islands already devastated by the historic storm.

Florida rushed to prepare for a possible direct hit on the Miami area by the Category 5 storm with potentially catastrophic 295km/h winds.

Nearly every building on the island of Barbuda was damaged when the eye of the storm passed almost directly overhead and about 60 per cent of the island’s roughly 1400 people were left homeless, Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne told The Associated Press.

He said roads and telecommunications systems were destroyed and recovery will take months, if not years.

As the storm moved west, it tore up the small islands in its path.

Significant effects were also reported on St Martin, an island split between French and Dutch control. Photos and video circulating on social media showed major damage to the airport in Philipsburg and the coastal village of Marigot

A man surveys the wreckage on his property after the passing of Hurricane Irma.

By Thursday, the centre of the storm was about 80 kilometres north of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and heading west-northwest at 26km/h.

More than half the island of Puerto Rico was without power and nearly 50,000 without water.

The US National Weather Service said Puerto Rico had not seen a hurricane of Irma’s

magnitude since Hurricane San Felipe in 1928.

President Donald Trump this week approved an emergency declaration for the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

That means the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other agencies can remove debris and give other services that will largely be paid for by the US government.

Myanmar faces world anger A Nobel laureate and Muslim nations in Asia criticised Myanmar’s persecution of its Rohingya Muslim minority as thousands in Indonesia and elsewhere staged angry protests against Aung San Suu Kyi and her government.

At least 87,000 refugees from Myanmar’s western Rakhine state have fled to neighbouring Bangladesh since violence escalated in late August, according to the United Nations, overwhelming existing camps for the displaced.

Malala Yousafzai, the

youngest person to win the Nobel Peace Prize, said her “heart breaks” at the suffering of Rohingya Muslims and urged Myanmar’s leader, a fellow Nobel laureate, to condemn the violence against the Rohingya minority.

“Over the last several years I have repeatedly condemned this tragic and shameful treatment,” she said in a statement posted on Twitter.

“I am still waiting for my fellow Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi to do the same.

The world is waiting and the

Rohingya Muslims are waiting.”

The latest eruption of violence in Rakhine state has killed more than 400 people and triggered an exodus of Rohingya into Bangladesh.

It began after insurgents attacked Myanmar police and paramilitary posts in what they said was an effort to protect their ethnic minority from persecution by security forces in the majority Buddhist country.

Myanmar denies citizenship to Rohingya.

gest concerns were oil spills and power disruptions to water supply systems.

The US National Hurricane Centre said Irma’s winds would fluctuate, but the storm would likely remain at Category 4 or 5 for the next day or two.

Evacuations from high-risk areas were ordered throughout the path of the storm.

Experts worried that Irma could rake the entire Florida east coast from Miami to Jacksonville and then head into Savannah, Georgia, and the Carolinas, striking highly populated and developed areas.

The State Department authorised voluntary evacuation of US diplomats and their families from the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Cuba, where the storm was expected to arrive by today.

Bahamas Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said his government was evacuating six islands because authorities would not be able to help anyone caught in the “potentially catastrophic” wind, flooding and storm surge. People there would be flown to Nassau in what he called the largest storm evacuation in the country’s history.

George off to school The Duchess of Cambridge, who is suffering from severe morning sickness, will see how she’s feeling before deciding if she is able to take Prince George to school for his first day.

The Duke of Cambridge and Kate were expected to take their four-year-old son to school as he starts at Thomas’s Battersea.

The prince, thought to be one of the youngest in his year, is expected to have a gentle introduction to what is likely to be a tiring first term at school. – PA

Health fears for Hammond Richard Hammond’s supercar crash has left the presenter fearing for his health.

Doctors have banned the star from exercising for 18 months after he was left wheelchair bound in the horror crash.

Making his first red carpet appearance since coming off crutches at this week’s GQ Men of the Year awards the Grand Tour star said: “I can’t run for 18 months and that’s how I keep fit. I’m 47 – it’s hard to keep the weight off so it will hit me hard if I can’t run. They’ve told me I have to cycle - but I hate cyclists. I’m a 47-year-old man - I can’t be cycling along the street wearing a helmet.”

Holmes/Foxx a couple?

Sometimes a stroll on a beach, walking hand-in-hand with someone is just a stroll on the beach. And sometimes, a stroll on the beach can be received as a very public announcement to the world of your romantic relationship with someone — just ask Taylor Swift and former beau Tom Hiddleston. With both of these rationales in mind, the internet has spent the day talking about photos taken of Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes, holding hands while walking on the beach over the US Labour Day weekend.

The pair have long been rumoured as a couple, but actual evidence of it was always scarce until now. As might be expected, the Internet promptly lost all semblance of chill once the photos appeared online.

Protests – does the end justify the means Matt Markham

EDITOR

I

’m not going to lie, I don’t mind a good protest.

There’s something quite enjoyable about seeing people that passionate about something that they feel empowered to make their voice heard through chants and ridiculously obtuse signs and placards, that I can’t help but smile.

We probably don’t see enough of it here in little old New Zealand, and, especially in Ashburton – but it does have a place.

People need to be able to stand up for what they believe in.

They have a right to be heard.

But there’s a good old-fashioned protest and then there’s down right vandalism of property.

Greenpeace have been active in highlighting their concerns about a new dam that is being built as part of the Central Plains Water (CPW) Irrigation scheme – and yesterday they struck for the second time at the site near Hororata.

CPW attempted to stop the protest through a court-ordered injunction, but failed, and thus yesterday’s events took place.

Greenpeace have been quoted on that particular matter as saying that injunction was an attempt to shut down the democratic rights of New Zealanders to protest peacefully and, to a degree, they have a point.

Their argument, which is based on saving our rivers, and our own Rakaia River will be the one drawn from for this scheme, is a solid one.

But where the activists have overstepped the mark is by breaking the law.

Eight were arrested yesterday for trespassing, while the Guardian has been led to understand that there was also damage discovered to machinery and property which has halted work.

Now, while that might serve its purpose in disrupting operations, it’s a long way from being a peaceful protest, isn’t it?

Activists have vowed that they will continue to protest against CPW and that is their right, but let’s just hope that on moving forward they will become a little more aware that in breaking laws, they end up doing more damage than they do good and that the very things they are fighting for become somewhat blurred because of their behaviour.

Of cake and a long life T

his could be the shortest column I’ve ever written.

I have a mild case of the man flu.

Clearly it is a mild case because I am sitting at the keyboard and not inside the Westpac Helicopter.

There is still every chance I will collapse and not get through this, but I’ll give it a good crack.

When the first symptoms appeared it got me thinking about my mortality. I wondered – if I make it through this, and continue on my clean living/health freak lifestyle path that I have been on most of my life – just how long could I be around for?

My research took me to the Netherlands.

Which made me laugh as I instantly thought back to sitting outside a cafe in Amsterdam after enjoying a slice of cake that I thought must have been out of this world as it was called Space Cake. To be honest, I’d tasted better.

There appeared to be a lot of people doing the same and a lot of them were smoking as well.

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

Funny cigarettes they were too, called skunk, but I can see why, they had a very funny smell to them.

So I’m thinking what is this lot, that sit round eating cake and smoking all day doing studying age limits.

On to the research though.

What is the maximum age that you can imagine living to?

One hundred?

One hundred and five?

New research shows that the absolute maximum ceiling life span for a female is 115.7 years.

For men it is slightly lower at 114.1, which still isn’t bad.

Researchers in The Netherlands studied data from 75,000 people who have died in the last 30 years, and what they found was that, in spite of the fact

that in general people are living longer and longer lives all the time, the age of the very oldest among us has not increased over the past 30 years.

They believe that there is a maximum life span for humans, and 115 just might be it.

To be clear, this isn’t about life expectancy but life span, which is used to determine how long a single individual can live as long as they look after themselves.

They determined that a person’s maximum life span plateaus in their 90s and was unlikely to ever increase beyond 115.

The world record? France’s Jeanne Calment, who lived to be 122.

The record for the oldest cake eating skunk smoker is 70, but they died with a stupid grin their face. (NB that last record may have been made up).

While doing this research, I stumbled across this ...

Marijuana: the secret to quicker knees?

shoulders move when you are walking, a new study has found.

The study, from the University of South Australia, found that there are differences between the way marijuana users and non-users walk.

Specifically, marijuana users have stiffer shoulders, more flexible elbows and quicker knees, which move faster than those of non-users, while walking.

While differences in their movements were detected, there were no significant differences between the balancing abilities and neurological functions of users and non-users. So marijuana users have different joints?

Classic!

Otago wool at Wimbledon

Part of Adam Lindsay’s wool clip is being smashed around at Wimbledon this year.

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

the smaller parties, rather than National party voters.

The leaders’ debate on Monday night was certainly a lot more heated than the first, with plenty of robust discussion around policy for viewers. At the time of writing, there was another leaders’ debate to be held, another Colmar Brunton Poll and another multi party debate that Gareth Morgan and The Opportunities Party are trying to gain a place in, while Winston Peters is opting out, believing he should be invited to the main leaders debate.

Whatever the outcome of the election on September 23, it is unlikely to cause a major disruption to the market and the economy. New Zealand is in a strong economic position.

Growth is robust, unemployment is low, the dairy sector has improved substantially, and most parts of the economy are doing very well.

Despite the likelihood of shortterm volatility, financial markets will ultimately put more weight on fundamentals, rather than political change in Wellington.

The latest global dairy trade auction this week saw a 0.3 per cent increase in the average price of dairy, the seventh consecutive auction that has seen a less than 2 per cent change in price. The market has cheered the price stability over the past few months, with the last period of stability occurring in the record breaking

payout 2013/14 season. Whole milk powder and skim milk powder both saw price weakness at the auction, falling 1.6 per cent and 1.2 per cent.

Australia had a number of key events this week, including the Reserve Bank of Australia’s September meeting and the second quarter GDP announcement. The RBA remained on hold again, however, the accompanying rhetoric was upbeat with recent data points indicative of growth.

The central bank acknowledged that the current loose monetary policy stance is supportive of the current growth environment and is likely to remain this way as the economy continues to normalise.

Second quarter GDP just missed expectations in Australia, although it still showed solid growth of 0.8 per cent for the quarter and 1.8 per cent on an annualised basis. This was a jump from the 0.3 per cent quarterly growth in the March quarter. The solid second quarter GDP outcome was supported by strength in exports and public spending, led by infrastructure construction.

Next week, we will be watching labour force data from Australia, Consumer Confidence in New Zealand, inflation data from both the UK and the US and the Bank of England meeting. In addition to this, the North Korean situation will remain front of mind as will the NZ Election and the developing story of Hurricane Irma as it hits the US.

arkets have been rocked this week by increasing geopolitical tensions, as North Korea conducted a sixth successful test of nuclear weaponry. The unpredictable nation has been the cause of plenty of volatility of late with a war of words erupting between North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump, followed by further missile tests.

The UN have had several emergency meetings to talk about putting sanctions in place, with the US seeking an asset freeze, as well as an oil embargo.

Late last week, the non-farm payrolls data from the US missed expectations, with just 156,000 jobs added in August. This was 24,000 short of expectations and 20,000 less than the long run average.

The unemployment rate crept higher to 4.4 per cent from 4.3 per cent and wage growth also disappointed. This data miss has seen the market become even more cynical of a further rate rise from the US Federal Reserve this year.

The market is now pricing in only a 28 per cent chance of another rate hike by the end of the year. The September meeting is on the 20th and the market will be looking for some sort of indication of when to expect the Fed balance sheet reduction to begin.

Locally, the NZ election is front of mind for investors with just two weeks left until we go to voting booths. Neither Labour nor National are standing out as clear winners and it is looking more and more likely that Winston Peters and NZ First will be the King maker. The latest polls have also shown that Labour’s Jacindamania gains in the polls have come largely at the expense of

focus on colour and cleanliness, as it was “super critical’’ that wool was free of vegetable matter, he said.

The Daily Mail reported Slazenger was handed up to 140 rolls of material which was wrapped

Lindsay and his wife, Jules, farm Creekside Farms, a 2000ha property between Kyeburn and Ranfurly, running about 10,500 ewes, plus cattle.

He was delighted to hear of his association with Wimbledon and the possibility that the likes of Roger Federer might have had his hands on his wool.

“I thought, ‘that’s pretty cool’.

I wonder how many tennis balls they get out of a bale?’’

He quipped that he hoped tennis was becoming more popular.

“Pity a tennis ball isn’t bigger,’’ he said.

Despite the positive story, Lindsay was frustrated about the state of the crossbred wool industry, saying it costs the same to shear his sheep when prices were poor.

The problem in the sheep industry, in general, was there was no consistency, he said.

“The difference between a dairy farmer and a sheep farmer is a dairy farmer has two bad years in 10 and a sheep farmer has two good years in 10,’’ he said.

Adam Lindsay’s tennis career may have been limited to primary school, but he has still managed to make an impact at the most prestigious tennis tournament.

The Maniototo farmer produced Perendale wool which was later dispatched to WSP Textiles, the UK felt maker that supplies felt to Slazenger for the Wimbledon tennis balls.

It was only when inquiries as to where the wool for the balls for this year’s tournament came from that Lindsay learned of his claim to fame. Bloch & Behrens Wool (NZ) – a subsidiary of PGG Wrightson – is the main supplier to WSP Textiles.

It has been supplying the company for longer than general manager Palle Petersen has been involved, which is more than 30 years.

Following the inquiry, Petersen identified a shipment to WSP which was made from wool sourced from the Lindsay farm, and also Glen Islay, a farming operation in South Otago and Southland.

Specific farm lots of crossbred wool were selected, with a strong

No resting on laurels

T

he Ford Ranger’s popularity in New Zealand has continued in 2017 and it is now almost 1000 vehicles ahead of the current number two ute, further cementing its position as New Zealand’s favourite overall new vehicle.

Not one to rest on its laurels, Ford has continued to improve the Ranger, adding upgrades and refinements late last year including Ford’s SYNC®3 on XLT and Wildtrak and a cleaner and more efficient Euro5 compliant powertrain across the range.

“There is certainly no resting on our laurels when it comes to the Ranger,” said Cameron Thomas, Marketing Manager, Ford New Zealand.

“Despite the sales success Ranger has enjoyed, it’s still a very competitive market in New Zealand and we want to ensure the Ranger remains the overall best value for Kiwis.

The upgrades and improvements have helped keep the Ranger that much further ahead of the competition.”

The Ford Ranger XLT and Wildtrak now come loaded with SYNC3, Ford’s new invehicle communications and entertainment platform, featuring Apple CarPlay®, Android AutoTM, faster performance, more conversational voice recognition, intuitive smartphone-like touchscreen and an improved graphic-user interface.

The new communications and entertainment system is faster and easier to

use with enhanced response to driver voice commands. SYNC3 features all-new hardware and software, building on the capability of the industry-leading technology that launched in 2007.

Ford SYNC is now in more than 12 mil-

lion vehicles on the road globally.

AppLink allows customers to connect their smartphone to their vehicle and control compatible apps using voice commands or buttons on the vehicle display screen.

The Ford Ranger also now includes a rear view camera on the XL well-side models, XLT and Wildtrak, reverse parking sensors right across the entire range, and front parking sensors on the XLT and Wildtrak.

When Charlie met Annie B

eaded Wheels, the historical motoring magazine produced by the Vintage Car Club of New Zealand, never fails to provide an interesting read.

Earlier this year club founding and life member Andy Anderson began what has become an interesting series of columns titled “the way we were’.

In his first column Andy explains how back in 1945 he and four Christ’s College school chums took an early step in what was to become a post-war social revolution.

Andy begins by posing the question – these days what’s strange about a team of school kids owing a car?

Answering his own question, he says nothing, except these days each member of the team would probably have one of his own.

But that’s today, not 1945.

Back then the war was still raging, there was petrol rationing, and cars weren’t as economical as they are today – and perhaps most importantly motoring was absolutely prohibited at schools, even in parents’ cars.

But Andy and four others who were all in their final year at Christ’s College and belonged to Jacob House had slightly different ideas.

The four others were all boarders, Andy lived in Christchurch.

For boarders, Sundays provided free time, which was limited to pushbike radius.

Andy and his friends wanted to go a bit further afield, so they decided to pool their resources and for £27.10 purchased a 1923 Model T Ford, which became affectionately known as “Annie”.

Andy says his four boarding friends invited him into their clandestine group because he could provide garaging for the car.

One of the group, Michael Palmer, was the mechanical genius and he devised a method of using a little of the scarce petrol to start the car before switching over to kerosene.

It was an early indication of the talents which would later see Michael Palmer become an Air Commodore.

Being a prefect, Andy had additional free time so he would bike into town and get a 4 gallon tin of kerosene, which he balanced on the bar of his bike, an endeavour which

Bernard Egan MOTORING

he describes as totally illegal.

In Annie the Model T five friends went on many enjoyable expeditions.

If it ended here it’s a fascinating story and a reminder of how times have changed – but wait, there’s more.

The story has a local connection.

The other three friends were Mike Haggitt from Dunedin, Bruce Goodwin from Pidgeon Bay and one Charlie Harper from Ashburton.

Initially, and some readers might too, I wondered who is Charlie Harper?

But putting two and two together and remembering that local identity John Harper’s first name is Charles, it soon became apparent that our well known local gentleman was one of the famous five who helped start a social revolution.

Known by his first name at school, John has happy memories of those days and the fun times enjoyed with his mates.

He recalls that ultimately the Model T blew a big end and was sold, producing a small profit.

Later John would go on to own a Morris 8 Sports, purchased new by his late brother for £200 from Morrison’s in Geraldine.

By the time John got that great little car it had passed down via his two sisters.

He sold it in 1954 when he bought a brand new two-door Morris Minor, the car he and Elizabeth took on their honeymoon.

Their next car was a later model fourdoor version and that was followed by a Vauxhall.

John Harper has many interesting hobbies, one of which is collecting – and often memorising – fascinating ditties.

Maybe his exploits with his friends in Annie the famous Model T prompted John to remember this one which we are delighted he shared with us: Henry Ford had a board And a piece of tin The board he sawed The tin he bent Cranked her up and away she went.

And you didn’t hear it from us, but some of John’s has quite a repertoire of other delightful verses.

So next time you see him you may want to ask John about Fred.

These days, as we see many pupils driving themselves to school, it’s hard to believe that was not permitted in years gone by and its intriguing to think people

like our friend John Harper were part of a social revolution.

But maybe some things don’t change.

While we shouldn’t mention a lady’s age Annie the Model T wasn’t a really old car.

When John and his friends bought her she was in her prime – just 22 – similar age to some of the cars being driven to school these days.

New/old livery for iconic Nissan

N

issan’s world-famous Calsonic GT-R R32 race livery will make a welcome return to the race track when it features at this month’s Wilson Security Sandown 500.

At the annual ‘retro round’ for Supercars, the #23 NISMO Nissan Altima Supercar of Michael Caruso and Dean Fiore will race in the legendary blue colours of the Calsonic-sponsored GT-R – a car that dominated Japanese Group A racing in the early 90s.

Run by Team Impul in the Japanese Touring Car Championship, the Calsonic Nissan GT-R R32 took an impressive 15 victories, as well as the 1990 and 1993 titles.

In addition, the famous R32 model holds the remarkable record of remaining undefeated in all of its 29 races, from its debut at the start of the 1990 season through to the end of the Group A era in 1993.

With the Calsonic Nissan finding increased global fame thanks to its popularity in the Gran Turismo video game, the Nissan GT-R R32 also achieved considerable success in Australia winning the Bathurst 1000 twice and the Australian Touring Car Championship on three occasions.

Most beautiful car. Ever.

C

oncours of Elegance and Bridge of Weir Leather Company partnered up once again this year to launch a brand new ‘Cars of our Years’ feature, celebrating the important connection between man and machine.

Notable friends of the Concours and Bridge of Weir each chose a car from their lifetime that has made the strongest emotional impact. Visitors to the Concours of Elegance were invited to vote for their favourite of the ten Cars of Our Years nominated by stars of the world of automotive and motorsport.

Taking more votes than any of the other iconic models nominated, the Jaguar Etype was named the public favourite from the Cars of Our Years feature.

Nominating the Jaguar E-type, Sir Jackie Stewart said: “Without a doubt, the most beautiful car that has ever been mass produced. Ever since it was introduced in 1960 it changed the course of car design and the industry forever.”

Bridge of Weir Managing Director, Karen Marshall, said: “We have been honoured to display such a wonderful selection of cars at Hampton Court Palace, and we have been genuinely touched by the stories from our friends and colleagues of the automotive world when nominating their Cars of Our Years. We’re delighted with the public vote winner – the Jaguar E-type, a true people’s champion.”

Other cars in the line-up included the

Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona (1968), Aston Martin V8 Vantage (1980), Mini (1959), Lancia Stratos (1974), Jaguar Mk VII (1950), Austin-Healey Sprite (1966), Porsche 928 (1979), Porsche 356 (1957), Porsche 911/993 RS (1995).

Concours of Elegance Director, James

Brooks-Ward, said: “Concours of Elegance celebrates the finest automobiles in the world, and Bridge of Weir has supplied leather to many of them. But beyond rarity and beauty, cars hold a special place in people’s hearts because of the memories they help to make – that’s exactly what

we’re celebrating with Bridge of Weir’s ‘Cars of Our Years’ feature.”

Bridge of Weir has been in the business of manufacturing leather for the automotive industry since 1905, supplying Aston Martin, Ford, Jaguar Land Rover, McLaren, Volvo and many others.

Magic from Mattighofen W

hen the United States sent Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins to the moon (if you don’t believe the conspiracy theories), the computing power they used was less than is found in a bargainbin smart phone.

Using that logic, if the space race had continued we probably could have shot for Mars with less technology than you’ll find beneath the surface of the 2017 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S. KTM is no stranger to using high-quality kit, but even it seems to have outdone itself with its 2017 line-up, edging the bar further forward while somehow keeping its products within the realms of affordability.

Sure, you can get semi-active suspension, all the rider aids under the moon, and a hot-to-trot TFT screen on other European machinery, but it comes at a far greater cost and with arguably less ability than the machines from Mattighofen.

The first thing about the Super Adventure S you’ve probably noticed is the large LED headlight unit. Like us, you’re either in team “Love it!” or team “Leave it!”.

Personally, I fall into the former camp, and here’s why. When it comes to riding at night, there isn’t a bike I’ve yet ridden that can hold a candle to the light output of the big KTM. I’ve got to say it, but when it comes to lighting, this headlight has it nailed.

Not only do you get a pretty decent beam and crystal-clear light from the

LEDs, but KTM has also incorporated cornering lights into the set-up. Discussing it with a colleague, we were both astounded that it has taken the bike industry so long to incorporate it into bikes.

How it works on the KTM is all to do with your lean angle. The more lean-angle you have, the greater the number of the dedicated cornering LEDs light up.

Considering my first ride was in the dark as I left the office, the system was both the

first thing I noticed out on the road and by far one of my favourites of the new additions to the 2017 bike.

The other impressive addition is, of course, the TFT dashboard. Though other makes have also adopted the technology, KTM has embraced it, with it not only featuring on the premium flagship models, but also way down at the entry level as seen on the new 390 Duke.

I’ll admit that at first the TFT was a lit-

tle bit distracting. My eye was constantly drawn down to gaze at the razor-sharp display. Riding a bike with an LCD display will be a major comedown after riding this.

Not only is the screen razor-sharp to look at, it has a couple of clever tricks that make it even better. First, it is physically adjustable for angle, meaning no matter how tall (or short) you are, you can adjust it so the angle is perfect for you.

Secondly, depending on whether you are riding day or night, the display will adapt to ensure you can see the screen optimally.

While I’d be happy with the night-time display at all times, the day-time riding display is without a doubt incredibly clear in all the conditions I experienced and should fight glare on those warm, bright sunny days we’re already looking forward to.

With all that technology, you’d be forgiven for thinking the KTM’s technology masks any hint of a soulful bike, but again you’d be wrong.

The 1301cc LC8 V-Twin of our test bike sings with gusto thanks to the addition of an optional Akrapovic exhaust, which you could argue is yet more flashing, but when the throttle hits the stopper there is no arguing with this engine.

It is stonkingly powerful with 118kW and 140Nm on tap, meaning two-up touring won’t be an issue, especially with the clever WP electronically adjustable suspension.

I get the feeling little ol’ NZ isn’t big enough for this great big KTM. - By Mathieu Day-Gillet

New kid on the block

B

ritish electric vehicle start-up Alcraft Motor Company has revealed details of its first car, the high-performance Alcraft GT. The business is targeting a start of production in 2019, and is launching a crowdfunding campaign offering the chance to play a part in the development of the car and a new British brand.

Alcraft Motor Company has been founded by businessman David Alcraft.

He has assembled a core team including Charles Morgan, previously of Morgan Motor Company, ex-Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders CEO Christopher Macgowan, designer Matt Humphries who also spent time at Morgan, and ex-Toyota, Daewoo and Michelin senior executive Mark Carbery.

The engineering partner is Silverstone-based Delta Motorsport, whose expertise in electric drivetrains and battery systems sees it working both with global car manufacturers and at the highest levels of motor sport.

Agreements are in place with major suppliers including Continental for safety systems and Michelin for tyres.

“We want to build a British car company which brings together traditional skills and high technology for the emerging low carbon car market”, says Alcraft Motor founder

and managing director David Alcraft.

“We’re about combining great design, outstanding dynamics and the visceral thrill of electric powertrains to create products that are high in performance and desirability but very usable. We hope this will establish a niche For Alcraft Motor in Britain’s renowned specialist low-volume car industry.”

The Alcraft GT is not another electric supercar – it’s extremely sporty yet practical, with a shooting brake-style rear giving access to a 500-litre luggage area, and a 300-mile range.

The fundamental concept is battery-only, but has

been designed and engineered so that a range-extender could be added.

Although there has been an emphasis on developing outstanding handling and dynamics, the absolute numbers associated with the three-motor, four-wheel drive powertrain are impressive.

Virtual engineering has provided expected figures of 840 lb ft torque and 600hp

which, with four-wheel drive, torque vectoring, and light weight, result in an estimated 0-62mph time of 3.5 seconds. The batteries are in a T-shaped pack between and behind the driver and passenger seats.

The exposed carbon-fibre B-pillars and roof structure are all part of the aesthetic but serve as both a safety cell and a device to create an exceptionally light cabin, with a roof made largely of glass and a wraparound front screen.

■ ADDINGTON

The front runner Amaretto Sun on comeback trail What’s on:

Friday: Te Awamatu Gallops, Addington Harness, Addington and Wanganui Dogs Saturday: Ellerslie, Wanganui and Riccarton Gallops Sunday: Rangiora Harness and Manakau Dogs

Amaretto Sun, who starred in tight class trot events at Addington 12 months ago, returns to Addington tonight, but West Melton trainer Ken Ford says he will benefit from the run.

The Sundon gelding returns without a leadup trial or workout but pleased Ford in fast work at Addington this week.

“He needs a run but the fields are not heavy so we put him in rather than going to a trial,” Ford said.

“We’ve been in to Addington and fast worked him with Donegal Carrickfin and I was happy with the way he worked,” he said.

“I’d rather go in there with three horses and know just how hard we’re going and finish strong.”

Amaretto Sun was much too good in last September’s Ordeal Trotting Cup run at Addington, clearing out by more than four lengths over Sheemon and Daryl Boko in 3:15.9 (mobile 2600m).

But he hasn’t raced since disappointing at Methven last December, which had Ford searching for the reason.

“We put a chemical dye through him and found he had a bone chip so had it removed and he’s come through it good.”

From the same family as international trot champion Lyell Creek, Amaretto Sun has won nine of his 29 starts.

He comes up against racefit mares, Alderbeck and Ayra, along with Eyre I Come and Belles Son (both resuming after two trials) in tonight’s fast class Darfield ITM Handicap Trot.

Ford says Donegal Carrickin, a form pacer from the same family as Amaretto Sun and the stable’s former top age group trotter Marcoola, will also be better for a return to racing in race six.

He was freshened after running a game second to Christopher Banner from the nine gate over 2600m in a 1:57.6 mile rate at Addington on July 14.

The Bettor’s Delight brother to Bettor’s Creek

Local luck: We shall split our chances and throw out Christopher Banner tonight at Addington, he’s due a bit more luck and could be dangerous with one run at them then tomorrow at Riccarton we will declare Wise Act a big chance to make it three from three for Bevan Wilson. A couple of dollars each way on both should net a positive return.

Punting pool: Last Week: $0 Return. Pool: $100 Darkseid was, put simply,

Who am I?: My effort to win the New Zealand Trotting Cup at Addington is still regarded as one of the most remarkable efforts in the biggest harness racing event on the calendar. I was down and out, but picked myself up again and got the job done. I hailed from the outskirts of Tinwald and began a historic run of success in the race for my driver.

Sheree Tomlison will be driving Amaretto Sun and Donegal Carrickfin for her grandfather Ken Ford at Addington tonight.

(1:56.1, 10 wins) and Donegal Kahlum (1:54.9) has continued to race generously since being left with Ford in May by Kaikoura owner-trainer David Broadhurst.

Both Ford runners will be driven by granddaughter Sheree Tomlinson, who won 24 races last term and already has four wins just over a month into the new season.

One of the best bets on tonight’s Addington programme should be in the first trot race, where Rum In The Sun looks to be very wellgraded.

The consistent Bacardi Lindy gelding has been close up in rating 50+ races over the last month and drops to an up to rating 50 event.

His only previous win for Templeton trainer Michael Palermo came in a mobile 1950m trot at Addington in March.

Colin De Filippi’s best chance of driving his 2000th NZ winner may rest with the consistent Mikey Maguire in race four.

His only other drives are with Izmok in race three, and outsider Hannah Extreme in race nine.

■ ELLERSLIE

Rayner stable gears up for big weekend Emotions will ride high for Wanganui trainer Evan Rayner this weekend as he prepares for stable stalwart Mr Mor’s swansong and as the trainer of sprinter of the year favourite Start Wondering.

Rayner will watch Mr Mor’s last-ditch attempt to win the Irvines Great Northern Steeplechase (6400m) at Ellerslie on Saturday from Wanganui, where he will saddle Taurus, a contender for the Coro Angel Syndicate 1200.

Then he will fly to Auckland on Sunday with connections of Gr.1 Railway Stakes and Gr.1 NRM Sprint winner Start Wondering for the New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing Awards at the Langham Hotel that evening.

“I’d like to think he’s a good chance of winning, but I’m not getting ahead of myself,” Rayner said of the champion sprinter category.

Rayner, who trains in partner-

underwhelming last Friday at Ashburton and the less we say about that performance the better. So, onwards and upwards but that’s ok, we are back to where we started and if you’d said that when we started this column we’d have been very happy.

This week we will look to Addington tonight and look to start things the right way with Rum In The Sun who should be hard to beat in Race 1. $30 to win.

Mr Mor ploughs through the hurdles with Shaun Fannin aboard. ship with his daughter JJ, revealed the Great Northern was likely to be Mr Mor’s final race before retirement, with only a slight chance the Corrupt 13-year-old gelding could contest the steeplechase at Te Aroha on October 1 afterwards.

“It’s his last shot at a big one anyway. He’s been a great horse for us. He’s owned in Hawke’s Bay and winning the Hawke’s Bay Steeples twice was as good as anything, though the Wellington Steeples win was a bit special,” Rayner said.

“He’s done everything right, but it’s going to be a very heavy, testing track and that might find him out a bit.

“But it’s his last go and he deserves his shot.

“A lot depends on him. He’s a horse you’ve got to keep niggling at.

“You can’t just go for him in the last few furlongs and expect him to pick up and dash home.”

The Northern will be Mr Mor’s 102nd start, having won 10 races and just shy of $250,000. He has won five of his 30 steeplechases, banking just on $200,000 in that role.

Rayner was upbeat about Taurus’ chances in the open sprint at Wanganui, where he clashes with the likes of Scapolo, North And South and Mighty Solomon.

“It’s drizzly rain here at the moment so it’s going to be a loose track, so that will suit him,” Rayner said.

Paddock beckoning Lightly-raced five-year-old Sellwood is heading for a break after he runs at Te Awamutu today. “He’ll have a spell win, lose or draw,” owner-trainer David Wilson said of his two-race winner.

Improvements needed, says rugby review

Hammers History: Sth Canterbury

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

This weekend’s Heartland Championship clash between Mid Canterbury and South Canterbury has plenty riding on it for both sides.

Not only are both sides coming in to the match with identical records, (one win and one loss), the Hanan Shield is on the line.

After a strong period of having the shield safely tucked underneath their arms, the Hammers relinquished control of the trophy in the last game of the round robin last year, when the

Hammers were silenced by their neighbours 14-0.

The loss also knocked the Hammers down to the Lochore Cup, so there will be an element of revenge to play for as well.

Looking back over the 11 times the sides have met previously, Mid Canterbury have had the run of the green, winning seven of the games since the competition started in 2006.

During the Hammers’ twoyear dominance of the Meads Cup, they recorded strong victories against the Timaru-based team, winning 34-17 in 2015,

24-7 in 2014 and 34-27 back in 2013.

South Canterbury had a successful 2012, winning both matches the sides played, including the Lochore Cup semifinal, which they won 48-20.

When it comes to piling on the points, South Canterbury have the edge, having the largest winning margin of 28, as well as the most points scored in a game, with 48.

Overall, the Hammers have scored the most points between the two sides, notching up 228, while South Canterbury have

notched up slightly less with 202.

Based on form, there is little to separate the two sides, with both recording one win and one loss this season.

Mid Canterbury picked up their win against a Poverty Bay side that looks to be struggling this season, winning 34-5, before losing 31-25 to North Otago last week.

South Canterbury narrowly lost to Buller, who have won their opening two games, before taking care of the King Country in a high scoring match in Timaru 42-36.

New Zealand Rugby boss Steve Tew has admitted making the changes recommended by a review into the attitudes of his organisation and its players towards women following several highprofile incidents last year will not be easy.

The Respect and Responsibility Review, begun in September following the high-profile Chiefs stripper controversy of last year, plus others, was released yesterday.

The catalyst for the review was the Chiefs’ strippergate scandal which occurred during the team’s Mad Monday celebrations last year.

Afterwards the woman complained about being touched inappropriately and having things, including gravel and alcohol, thrown at her.

Six goals have been set by the review, including those concerning leadership, integrity and respect, with Tew and his organisation saying they welcomed the findings.

Part of the review concentrated on an analysis of misconduct information from 2013-17, which covered 36 cases of serious misconduct and misconduct dealt with by NZ Rugby.

This involved 33 incidents involving players, two involving a team and one involving a club.

In more than half the situations alcohol played a key factor.

Tew said: “They’re not all simple or easy to deliver and nor should they be.

“We are committing to real change, and to be leaders for that change.

“The integrity, reputation, and ultimate success of the game in New Zealand depends on this.”

The review panel included former All Blacks Keven Mealamu and Sir Michael Jones, plus Olympic kayaker Lisa Carrington.

It was led by Kathryn Beck, president of the New Zealand Law Society.

In brief

■ RUGBY

Skud missile re-launched

By GreGor Paul If there is one player more suited than most to this all out, lightning speed attacking the All Blacks are trying to master, it is Nehe Milner-Skudder.

The way the All Blacks are playing really is his cup of tea and there can’t be a genuine rugby soul on earth who isn’t both intrigued to see what Milner-Skudder can bring this weekend and delighted that the fleet-footed wing is back in test football.

It has been way too long.

Almost two years since MilnerSkudder played a test and as much as he has missed the game, the game has missed him.

It is easy to forget given how long it has been, that MilnerSkudder was a critical point of difference for the All Blacks in 2015.

He was the zig at a time when everyone else was all about zag.

Big, power wings were the order of the day at the last World Cup. They dominated selections and the Scots, Welsh, Samoans, Fijians and Australians all had oversized men somewhere in their back three mix, as did New Zealand.

But the All Blacks also had Milner-Skudder, who was the antidote to all that smash and bash and running over the top of defenders.

He was the enigma, a code few could crack because he brought fast feet and insanely good timing.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that he broke the first tackle every time he had the ball at the World Cup. Defenders rushed up on him, thought they had him and one step later, Milner-Skudder was in space.

It went like that from the first game against Argentina through to the final against the Wallabies.

If he wasn’t the best wing at the tournament then he must have been close.

Ashburton Guardian 25

knows what’s coming but it doesn’t make him any easier to tackle.

Secondly, what’s also in his favour, is that while it’s his feet that dazzle, he’s a quality operator under the high ball, can kick and has played ample rugby at fullback to have a solid grasp of just where he needs to be at all times.

The more relevant question is whether he’s rediscovered his physical and mental sharpness since his return to action in early June.

The longer the lay-off the harder it is for players to assimilate.

Milner-Skudder has spent the better part of the last two years not playing.

That’s a long absence and while he’s managed to get a fair bit of rugby behind him in the last eight weeks, he’ll have to prove tomorrow that his instincts have returned.

There will be ample confidence that physically he’s back – that he’s as sharp and as explosive as he needs to be.

What he will have to prove, however, is that he’s seeing the game as well as he was in 2015, reacting before things happen and also able to be in the right places at exactly the right time.

- NZME

ALL BLACKS Nehe Milner-Skudder is finally back in black.

A badly damaged shoulder saw him miss nearly all of last year and for much of this year he has been sidelined by a broken foot.

Effectively, then, this is his first season back since his début professional year in 2015.

So no doubt, the argument could be made that now that he’s back in the test arena, he’ll have to be wary about contracting

the dreaded second season syndrome.

Plenty of off-beat, idiosyncratic players have been magical in year one, sussed out in year two.

But best guess is that MilnerSkudder won’t suffer that fate.

That’s primarily because every defender he meets can safely predict that he’s going to step.

But so what? That’s the magic of Milner-Skudder, everyone

All Blacks team to play Argentina in New Plymouth on Saturday: Damian McKenzie, Israel Dagg, Anton Lienert-Brown, Sonny Bill Williams, Nehe Milner-Skudder, Beauden Barrett, TJ Perenara, Kieran Read, Ardie Savea, Vaea Fifita, Brodie Retallick, Luke Romano, Nepo Laulala, Dane Coles, Joe Moody.

■ BOWLS

Bassett taking on New Zealand’s best Ashburton indoor bowler Mat Bassett (left) will be taking on the best New Zealand has to offer this weekend at the national Henselite Singles Final in Nelson.

The talented youngster will line up against 33 of his peers from around New Zealand in the elite event which sees some of the best players in New Zealand in action.

All counted, four members of the current New Zealand Mat Blacks side will be playing, along with a further six current Island representatives and another five former New Zealand or Islands representatives.

Bassett is one of the five former reps having represented the South Island previously.

In order to qualify for the tournament, Bassett had to beat a strong line up of local players to earn the right to head to Nelson.

He has already enjoyed a good year on the mats as a runner-up in the South Island Championship Fours on the Nelson floor earlier this year and has the experience of having won the New Zealand Junior Singles as well.

Bassett has a tricky draw to contend with tomorrow on the mats including a tough second round match up against current Mat Black, Daniel French from Otago.

French was third equal in the national singles at Taupo this year.

In his third game he plays Manawatu’s Bruce Meyer, a legend of the sport of indoor bowls.

In his final qualifying match, Bassett will tackle Waikato’s Darryn Bell.

Play begins at the Warnes Stadium tomorrow morning and players will compete into the night for national glory.

Pumas ring changes The Pumas are counting on fresh faces to revive a sluggish start to the Rugby Championship and end a dire record against the All Blacks in New Zealand. Coach Daniel Hourcade unveiled a side featuring seven starting changes, matching the number made by New Zealand counterpart Steve Hansen for tomorrow’s clash in New Plymouth.

While Hansen’s switches have an experimental feel, Hourcade’s are forced either by injury or are a bid to find improvement following twin losses to South Africa.

‘We’re not rebels’ Andrew Forrest’s new Indo-Pacific competition is not a rebel tournament and it won’t struggle to attract talent, according to former Wallaby John Welborn. Welborn has been Forrest’s right-hand man throughout the Force’s fight for survival, and he’s part of the steering committee for the billionaire’s new competition plan. The competition could feature clubs from China, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Pacific Islands, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia. Welborn believes there will be enough rugby talent joining the competition from around the world to ensure for a good spectacle.

Bennett unfazed No Darius Boyd. No worries. Wayne Bennett reckons he is not losing any sleep over his injured captain, saying Boyd’s absence is “probably not a bad thing” for Brisbane ahead of tonight’s NRL qualifying final with the Roosters. Indeed not much fazed Bennett ahead of their finals blockbuster, dismissing the Roosters’ claim they would “bash” his depleted Broncos at Allianz Stadium. Pint-sized No.7 Kodi Nikorima has been slotted into fullback for Boyd who is no guarantee of returning from a hamstring complaint next week.

Sudden death mentality The Sydney Roosters’ finals clash with Brisbane may not be do-ordie stakes but coach Trent Robinson has declared his side must adopt a sudden-death mentality.

The Roosters received a big boost heading into tonight’s preliminary final clash with Brisbane after winger Daniel Tupou was cleared to return from a groin strain. The winner will proceed through to week three of the finals while the loser will receive a second bite at the cherry. However Robinson laid down the law to his side, saying losing in week one of the finals can be a potential death sentence to their premiership hopes.

Onus on Souths players Accountability is the key to transforming South Sydney back into a premiership force, according to new Rabbitohs coach Anthony Seibold. The rookie mentor yesterday refused to predict when the Rabbitohs would return to the finals, but knows his coaching philosophy would find out which players get them there. “Does a player know what to do, does the player know how to do it, and is he physically capable,” Seibold said at his unveiling. “If you tick off those three, it’s easy for me. It’s a choice – the player either does or he doesn’t.”

In brief Parker-Fury fight 50-50 Joseph Parker’s WBO heavyweight world title defence against Hughie Fury is a “50-50” fight, according to former champion David Haye.

Parker will this weekend leave his Las Vegas base for London to acclimatise and prepare for the fight against Fury on September 23 and will train mostly at Haye’s gym.

The pair struck up a friendship when Parker was in London, but the 36-year-old Haye believes the fight will go the distance. “Joseph Parker hasn’t put a foot wrong as a professional and neither has Hughie Fury,” Haye said.

Goals finally come for Hutt

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

The Mount Hutt College hockey team have put back-to-back wins together to put themselves clear of the wooden spoon match in the South Island Mixed Hockey Tournament.

Starting early on Wednesday,

the Hutt side fell to Mount Aspiring College, all but confirming their place in the bottom four, still searching for their first victory of the tournament.

In the final game of pool play, they faced off against fellow winless side Garin College, and put themselves in a strong position,

going two goals up not long after halftime.

However, they were on the back foot for the final 15 minutes after conceding a goal, and having to contend with Garin bringing out their goalkeeper.

They were able to hold on, booking a place against the bot-

tom of pool A St Peter’s College.

For the first time in the tournament, the goals came for Hutt, downing their opposition 4-1.

The result sets them up for the first game of day today at 8am, up against John Paul II High School, who defeated Garin High School 5-1.

■ CRICKET

Nicholls to skipper New Zealand A in India Test batsman Henry Nicholls will lead New Zealand A in two firstclass matches and five one-dayers in their series against India A this month.

There is one change between the two formats, with test opener Jeet Raval being replaced by fel-

low Auckland batsman Glenn Philips after the two first-class games.

Of the 16 players, 13 have played for New Zealand, with seven centrally contracted to New Zealand Cricket.

“Going into a significantly dif-

ferent environment to that of the New Zealand domestic scene is a huge opportunity to promote player growth,” national selector and team manager Gavin Larsen said.

Former international Shane Bond will be coach of the side.

New Zealand A squad: Henry Nicholls (c, Canterbury), Jeet Raval, Colin Munro, Glenn Philips, Lockie Ferguson, Sean Solia (Auckland), George Worker, Tom Bruce, Will Young, Seth Rance (Central Districts), Todd Astle, Matt Henry (Canterbury), Scott Kuggeleijn, Tim Seifert, Ish Sodhi (Northern Districts), Tom Blundell (Wellington).

■ OPINION

Volunteers key to our sporting success

V

olunteers really are great, aren’t they?

We have had two (one is still running) great winter tournaments being held here in Ashburton this week, and from what I have seen, the people that are running these events are doing a great job.

Take the South Island Mixed Hockey Tournament for example.

Twelve teams have been battling it out on one turf for five days. I have had a couple of parents comment to me just how impressive it is that they can run a tournament of 12 teams on one little patch of ground.

Former Black Cap Luke Ronchi continues to make an impact in the Caribbean Premier League, hitting a match-winning 70 for his Guyana Amazon Warriors in a play-off match. Ronchi’s knock helped the Warriors to a five-wicket win with 13 balls to spare against the Jamaica Tallawahs in an elimination final in Trinidad. The retired international wicketkeeper/batsman swung the game’s momentum with a 33-ball cameo.

- NZME

Jaime Pitt-MacKay SPORTS REPORTER

To me the answer of how they do it is pretty obvious, bloody hard work.

For the first two days, games were starting at 8am, with the last one starting at 8pm, meaning well over 12 hours of work a day for the people running

the tournament, which is pretty impressive.

Then we also had the Zone 4 Junior Basketball Tournament, which from what I saw went off without a hitch. In what was a cauldron of noise inside the EA Networks Centre and the Oxford Street Stadium, things ran smoothly, (apart from the occasional threat of a ball being stolen from players not playing for bouncing it on the floor).

It was another tournament that was running well over 12 hours a day, handling a massive 40 teams, which for a smaller organisation like Basketball Mid

Canterbury, is very impressive.

It brought a lot of people to our great town, and really showed what a great advantage it is having a facility like the EA Networks Centre.

Volunteers have also been hitting the road with our teams from Ashburton College and Mount Hutt College, with some teams already posting some pretty impressive results.

These weeks are great for the students that attend them, and are a special part of the sporting calendar, but would be nothing without the people that help to run them.

England will drop allrounder Chris Woakes and recall paceman Toby Roland-Jones for the decisive third test against West Indies at Lord’s.

Woakes made his return from a side strain in England’s surprise loss in the second test, replacing RolandJones in the team but taking just one wicket in each of West Indies’ innings. The test takes place at his home ground, where he plays for Middlesex. Handed his test debut against South Africa in July, Roland-Jones has taken 14 wickets in his first three matches.

Wade eyes Ashes spot Australian coach Darren Lehmann says Matthew Wade has answered his critics, but he remains one of several players with plenty to prove ahead of the Ashes series.

Wade came under pressure ahead of the second test against Bangladesh, with Lehmann refusing to rule out handing the wicketkeeping gloves to Peter Handscomb. The selectors instead axed Usman Khawaja, who managed just two runs in the first test in Dhaka. - AP

No free hit for Eagles West Coast coach Adam Simpson has scoffed at talk his team can treat their AFL finals tilt as a free hit, saying they have everything to lose heading into Saturday night’s elimination final against Port Adelaide. The Eagles scraped into eighth spot on percentage after a dramafilled win over Adelaide in the final round. Port Adelaide will start as warm favourites on Saturday, despite losing to West Coast earlier this year in Adelaide. - AAP

Tigers up for challenge Richmond coach Damien Hardwick says the Tigers are playing a brand of football ideally suited to ending two long hoodoos in tonight’s AFL qualifying final against Geelong. The Tigers have lost 13 straight matches against the Cats dating back to 2006 and have gone 16 years without a finals win, including three successive elimination-final heartbreaks between 2013 and 2015.

All-USA semis at US Open

By ElEanor Crooks Madison Keys has made it an all-American women’s final four at the US Open.

The No. 15 seed beat Kaia Kanepi 6-3 6-3 to reach the semi-finals of a Grand Slam tournament for the second time.

She will face No. 20 CoCo Vandeweghe today in the second semi-final, after ninthseeded Venus Williams meets unseeded Sloane Stephens.

It’s the first time four Americans have made the women’s semi-finals at the US Open since 1981, when Tracy Austin beat Martina Navratilova for the title. Chris Evert and Barbara Potter also made the last four.

The last time it happened at any Grand Slam tournament was at Wimbledon in 1985, with Navratilova and Evert joined by Zina Garrison and Kathy Rinaldi.

The US Open will be guaranteed its first all-American final since Serena Williams beat sister Venus in 2002.

“It’s really amazing, not only for myself but just for American tennis,” said Keys.

“I’m really excited and you know, proud of all of us for getting this far and having it going to be USA all the way.”

After watching her three compatriots get the job done the expectations were all on the 15th seeded Keys and the 22-year-old showed her steel blossoming under the pressure.

“I was really nervous,” admitted Keys.

“On top of coming back after having a big win the other night then all of a sudden being in a match where you’re supposed to win.

“Then being the last American. It was really bad.”

Vandeweghe, who is coached by Australia’s Pat Cash, eliminated No.1 Karolina Pliskova in the quarters which means Spaniard Garbine Muguruza will become world No.1 after the tournament.

Pliskova had a set point in the opener against Vandeweghe but could not take it and the 20th seed completed a 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 victory to reach her second grand slam semi-final of the season.

“When I won this event as a junior I always dreamed about being here on the real stage,” the 25-year-old Vandeweghe said.

“To come together this year, it is a process. I did expect it overnight when I was 16 but now here I am and I couldn’t wish for anything better.

“I watched the match last night with Venus and think she said it best.

“We have to admire Serena and Venus, Lindsay (Davenport), Jennifer (Capriati).

“They all motivated me to be the next

Pliskova was the only top-eight seed to make it through to the quarter-finals but it was Vandeweghe who made the better start and moved into a 4-2 lead, but two double faults gave the advantage back.

Pliskova had a set point at 5-4 but Vandeweghe produced a fine backhand to save it.

It was Vandeweghe who secured the only one in the second set, breaking for 3-1, and she saved a break point in the final game before clinching victory when Pliskova netted a return.

Puzzles

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

Friday, September 8, 2017

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Solitude can be healing, though some people will go to great lengths to avoid it. That’s because they mistake being alone for being lonely. Loneliness is not a number; rather, it’s a lack of connection.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Some lower their inhibitions through chemicals to be more social. The chemicals are unnecessary and could be harmful. Lower your inhibitions through a mindset or through dancing instead.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Attention isn’t the goal today.

There are many situations in which you don’t want to be the smooth one, the one everyone wants to impress or date or befriend. You’ve good reasons for going under the radar.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Distance is a funny thing for you now. In some ways you’ll feel more influential and important to people who are far away from you than you will to those at an arm’s length.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The real message will be smuggled into a conversation via the socially acceptable message, the small talk. Listen for it. You don’t necessarily have to address it now, but definitely make note of this underlying truth.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Your analysing mind has solved many problems for you and helped you excel in many areas of life. That said, it’s not the right mind to heal emotional wounds.

Employ your heart and body to that task.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Today you’re like a jazz musician.

You know your piece too well to play it note for note. The melody at the core will have many embellishments to keep it fresh.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Narrow the gap between your idea of where you are now and where you want to be. “Your idea” is the operative phrase.

Perception of a place isn’t the place. Geography remains; ideas change instantaneously.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): There’s a person who, lately, tends to put a twist in the mood to enable a downward spiral. Perhaps this character is unavoidable, though you can plan ahead and put up a shield of good humour.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Psychologists call the fruitless preoccupation with what went wrong “rumination”. This thinking makes us feel worse. Awareness is the anecdote. Instead of analysing, accept. Instead of doing, be.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Old patterns feel comfortable, but that familiarity doesn’t make them any truer. Repetition fosters belief, but that doesn’t make the belief right. Figure out what’s good and correct before you repeat it.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Thinking is not all there is to conscious experience. Today a cosmic perk will come without any effort on your behalf.

Your senses will be naturally more engaged, and your intuition will be keen.

Sport Sea Eagles back Walker Manly skipper Daly Cherry-Evans has told Dylan Walker not to change a thing even if his expletive-ridden sledges rile up their opposition ahead of the NRL finals. The Sea Eagles centre is heading into tomorrow’s elimination final with Penrith with a target on his back after sledging the Panthers during last week’s finalround win. Cherry-Evans said he was happy for Walker do whatever he felt was necessary and to get lippy with the opposition.

Tough day for Kiwis

What could have been; 45 skiers were set to speed their way down Mt Hutt this week in the ANC Super G event that was scrapped due to poor weather.

Weather the winner on the day

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

Organisers are understandably disappointed after the ANC Super G Ski Racing event that was set to be held on Mt Hutt this week was forced to be cancelled due to the weather.

Snow Sport NZ alpine man-

ager Hannah Hazeldine said after nearly getting blown off the mountain on Tuesday, poor weather had shut the mountain on Wednesday, effectively cancelling the event.

“It is a real shame as there was a world cup place riding on this event so that is off the table

now,” she said. “With events like this you are always at the mercy of the weather, but it is still disappointing.”

Forty-five skiers were set to take part in the event, in what was a really strong field, said Hazeldine.

The competitors can at times

reach speed of up to 110km/h, and despite a tight, technical course being set up, skiers were still recorded during training reaching speeds of around 95km/h.

“It is an annual event so we are really looking forward to coming back next year,” she said.

Expensive 14-second deadline miss Leicester City’s bid to officially complete the £22m signing of Adrien Silva before January is hanging in the balance after they missed the deadline to register him by just 14 seconds.

Fifa have refused to accept Silva’s registration after his move from Sporting Lisbon, five days after the deal and terms were

agreed late on deadline-day.

And it has emerged that is because Leicester failed to register the player by a matter of seconds, meaning Silva is unlikely to be able to play for the club until the New Year.

Leicester insist they are still attempting to resolve the issue and are in dialogue with Sport-

Review changes ‘won’t be easy’ P24

New Zealand Nacra 17 crew Gemma Jones and Jason Saunders endured a difficult day to drop to seventh place at the world championships in France. Third overall after the opening day in La Grande-Motte, the Kiwi pair fell four spots after placing 14th, third and seventh in the three races yesterday. The last race was spoiled by a broken gear on their foiling catamaran which forced them to stop for repairs and left them pleased they were able to recover in seventh.

ing and Fifa, in a bid to push through the transfer.

Leicester moved for Silva after agreeing to sell Danny Drinkwater to Chelsea for £35m but asked for a two-hour extension from the Football Association to finalise the paperwork.

A Leicester spokesman said: “We are working with Adrien

and Sporting Clube de Portugal to overcome some issues relating to the player’s registration and exploring all options to find a resolution.”

Meanwhile, Riyad Mahrez is to hold talks with Leicester officials later today, after his bizarre attempts to force a move on deadline day.

Scott ‘inspirational’ Wildcard Anirban Lahiri says the Internationals’ generation next will look to Australian stalwart Adam Scott for inspiration to finally topple the American dynasty in golf’s Presidents Cup. India’s Lahiri and Argentine Emiliano Grillo have been named as Nick Price’s captain’s picks for the September 28 tournament in New Jersey, while American counterpart Steve Stricker opted for five-time major winner Phil Mickelson and 40-year-old debutant Charley Hoffman.
