Earth-ship has landed JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

One of Ashburton’s first earthships has landed, and its owners are hoping their build might inspire more sustainable houses in the future. Much like a ship sails the oceans, an earth-ship is a house

that is built up with tyres packed with soil before being covered with more soil. The entire property is self-sustaining, with water coming from collected rainwater, and solar power providing the energy. Where the earth-ship comes in to its own is in heating, with the

design of the building allowing it to maintain a constant heat level. “The sun comes through the glass side and hits the back walls of the rooms, which heats them up,” owner Dawn Kirklan said. “The heat is then released and there is also ventilation through to the other side of the build that

keeps things at a constant temperature. “Even when we had those hot days last week we were still sitting at 18 or 19°(Celsius).” The build used a total 13,000 tyres, and took around two years to get to this stage, with only a few finishing touches left to be put in

place. “The tyre work was hard for a start,” she said. “Getting the big roof beams up was also challenging as they had to be level.”

■ BOTTLED WATER

Water levy could end need for rates By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

If a small levy was charged on water bottled from Ashburton’s aquifers, rates would be wiped and a huge community fund could be established, says Christchurch City councillor Aaron Keown. He’s keen to see Christchurch join forces with local iwi in a deal that would see water from the city’s aquifers bottled and sold overseas. With a levy of just seven cents, the city council would not need rates money to fund community projects and infrastructure work, he said. He’s keen to see the same model used in Ashburton, saying the district was well set up for this as the council already owns land in its north-east business park with a consent in place. While there had been a huge opposition when the council proposed selling this land and its consent to a company that would have bottled and sold water overseas, if the project was a community one with significant community benefits there could a different reaction, Keown said. “The funds that would be generated from bottling and charging seven cents a levy would mean you’d have no rates and you could probably fund every child to go to university.” His proposal was not about selling a community owned asset and letting others make money, it was about ensuring that asset generated huge benefits for the community. Communities taking charge of their own water, allowing private companies to bottle that water, but charging a levy on every bottle produced made absolute sense, he said. His proposal includes Christchurch becoming the glass recycling centre of New Zealand and for the district’s such as Ashburton to send their water overseas in bottles moulded from recycled glass. Only two per cent of rain that fell in New Zealand was used on farms, by industry or in towns and cities and that meant there was a huge opportunity to cap-

Christchurch City councillor Aaron Keown believes imposing a small levy on bottled water could prove to be a huge benefit to the local community. ture and use a portion of that rainfall for community good. It was a fallacy to say Canterbury was short of water, Keown said. He used Norway’s nationalisation of oil as an example of the way in which a natural resource could be sold for a community’s benefit, with profits funding education, health and many other community services, he said. Ashburton’s district councillors, however, are unlikely to see the option of bottling water and selling it to cut rates on their agenda papers any time soon. The idea had not been discussed around the council table, mayor Donna Favel said, but in the future it could be a conversation that needed to be had. Elected members were charged with being prudent custodians

Aaron Keown of the district on behalf of the community and that meant all options and ideas needed to be considered, she said.

“But there are certainly a lot of unknowns around this idea.” When the Labour party, pre-election suggested it could

introduce a water levy, the idea was unpopular locally, and with that in mind, Favel said, there would likely be a huge amount of sensitivity around any proposals to bottle and sell water. “Our district is achieving great things because of water and as a council we’re perhaps not ready for this discussion but as water becomes the new oil it is important to understand the commodity and the desire for it,” Favel said. Any discussions around a council bottling and selling water to off-set rates was not for a local authority alone, it would also involve the government and iwi, she said. “But as representative of the community we need to consider anything that would benefit the district.”

■ EA NETWORKS CENTRE

Swimmers out, workers move in BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Hoses, workmen and machinery have replaced water and swimmers in the EA Networks Centre’s pools as a summer maintenance programme gets under way. The pools closed on Monday and since then they’ve been emptied, any cracked or broken tiles have been replaced and expansion jointing removed. This is now in the process of being replaced. Like all pools, a regular maintenance programme is needed and part of that is a shut down every three or four years for this kind of work, said Ashburton District Council services delivery manager Neil McCann. “We went through our attendance figures for the past three years and this is the quietest time; it’s better to do this now when there are other outdoor community pools people can use, rather than doing it in the middle of winter,” he said. Work crews from Christchurch based sealant and coating specialists Technosol are in the process of grinding out and replacing joint sealant. This work will be completed today and the material will then need to be left for seven days to cure before the pools are filled next weekend, ready for the complex to reopen at 5.45am on January 21. While the pools are undergoing maintenance the changing rooms are also receiving a spruce up with

underneath tiles and the pools could start to leak, he said. “When this is finished I’d envisage we won’t need to touch the pools for quite a while.” The heated pool in the Tinwald

Domain is open from 9am to 7pm each day while the EA Networks Centre pools are closed. Other community pools are located at Hinds, Rakaia, Methven, Mt Somers and Mayfield.

would come through actually living in the building. “This is going to be a lot cheaper to live in than a conventional house,” she said. “The biggest costs are often from heating and we do not have to worry about that.” The tyres used in the build were free, with tyre companies more than happy to give away old tyres that they would have had to pay

space for fruit and vegetables. The building is powered by solar energy which is stored in the same kind of batteries that would be used in a mobile home. Two tanks collect rainwater, which is then filtered and cleaned several ways before being ready to use.

Being a unique property and one of only a handful in New Zealand, Kirklan says she is keen for people to come and take a look at the property. “We have always wanted people to understand what we are doing and we are more than happy for people to come out and have a look,” she said. “We have had a fair bit of in-

terest already and we have had people coming from all over the country like Wellington to take a look.” Once the property is completed, Kirklan said she and her partner’s goals with the property are to start growing organic produce, and possibly start a bed and breakfast to give people the opportunity to stay in the earthship.

Fatal crash One person has died after a car and truck collided early yesterday on State Highway 1 in Dunsandel. Fire and Emergency New Zealand (Fenz) was called initially to investigate the serious crash at 3.13am. Police took over as lead of the investigation once the extent of the crash was understood and it was confirmed someone had died, a Fenz spokesman said. The deceased was the sole occupant of the car. - NZME

Children create their own worm families The Ashburton Museum summer holiday programme has been a sell-out affair. Over a two-week period, museum staff have organised five events for children centred

around bugs, birds, plants and worms. Yesterday, dozens of children learned the basics of creating a worm farm. They were creating worm beds out of newspaper in

icecream containers. Tutor Lesley Ottey from Eco Educate showed the children how to care for their worm farms and gave each a scoop of tiger worms to start them on

their worm farming journey. The museum will next week run three more classes – electric circuit bugs and flowers, build a bird feeder and build a bug hotel.

Illegal dumpers in crosshairs By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

The more powers a local authority has to clamp down on people who toss litter onto the street or who dump their rubbish illegal will be welcome, says an Ashburton District Council senior manager. Service delivery manager Neil McCann said he is right behind the National Party’s environment spokesperson Scott Simpson,

who is making the case for increased fines for illegal dumping. Simpson has submitted a member’s bill which is due to have its second reading in Parliament next month. Currently the council’s hands are tied when it comes to imposing a fine for illegal dumping. The amount is set at $408 under the Litter Act 1979. On top of that it can charge a $53 clean-up fee. If Simpson’s bill is passed it is

likely to see the maximum onthe-spot fine increased to $1000. A combination of community awareness and a heavier fine would definitely be a deterrent factor, McCann said. The council also used CCTV cameras to help in the war against illegal dumping in the district. “We do our best to track down the people who are responsible and who infringe if we can,” he

said. In promoting his bill, Simpson said it was far too common to see people brazenly throwing litter from moving cars. Others thought nothing of dumping their rubbish in river beds or on roadsides without thinking about the impact, he said. “My member’s bill will ensure councils have a more powerful tool to help prevent littering and keep our communities safe and clean.”

The long and the short of it – boosting tuna populations The Ashburton Water Zone Committee granted funding for a planting project that will enhance the tuna (eel) habitat in Harding Creek. Tuna have been spotted regularly in the small waterway and it is important to ensure the environment they thrive in is protected. New Zealand has two species of tuna, the native longfin and the shortfin. Tuna are a good indicator of in-stream health and there are fewer of them today because of the loss of wetland habitats. The money from the Immediate Steps fund will also help with regenerating native plants and improving biodiversity along The Ashburton Water Zone Committee is a community led committee supported by councils. fb.com/canterburywater

the margins of the creek. In an area with less than 10% of the indigenous vegetation remaining it is important to increase and support as much native biodiversity as possible. The landowner has already undertaken significant other planting projects along the lower section of the creek. Regenerating native plants and improving biodiversity values is a key priority of the Ashburton Water Zone Committee. If you have a local biodiversity project that could benefit from funding support visit www.ecan.govt.nz/biodiversity.

Planting natives along waterways helps to protect tuna habitat and boosts biodiversity in the area.

Spitter arrested A man has been arrested following a spitting attack at a popular Auckland park. A 41-year-old man was charged with two counts of common assault following an incident at One Tree Hill in Cornwall Park shortly after 10pm on Wednesday. A man was approached by a male jogger who allegedly spat on him. A verbal dispute followed, and a second man intervened, who was then allegedly assaulted, police said. The accused will appear in the Auckland District Court next week. People at the scene told a Herald reporter that a man had been spitting on women in Cornwall Park and potentially Mission Bay for the past month or so. One woman said the man had spat on her last week when she was jogging close to the summit of One Tree Hill alone close to when it was getting dark. - NZME

Fire risk fears growing By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton District Council and firefighters are doing their best to ensure fire conditions are safe this summer, now the pressure is on the public to do the same. After a wet December that capped off the district’s wettest year that was a 40-year high, fears are growing that plant growth that has not been kept under control could present a significant fire risk. Rural fire officer Don Geddes says the best ways to reduce those risks this summer is for people to be conscious of the simple fire safety tips. “Fuel reduction is a big thing, making sure that roadsides are mowed and all dead vegetation is removed, making sure you are not stacking firewood too close to structures and keeping gutters clear,” he said. While urban areas are often not as big of a concern as rural areas, Geddes says ensuring people are being responsible with ashes and extinguished fires anywhere is important. “If you have had a fire in the past two weeks it would pay to go out and check it is cool as sometimes embers can last this long and all we would need is a hot and windy day and they could spark up again,” he said. “Also people making sure they remove ashes safely, we hear about people taking them outside and just dumping them up against their houses which is pretty stupid.” A vital tool for anybody plan-

With strong vegetation growth and everything starting to dry out now, the risk of fire is growing. ning on lighting fires this summer is checkitsalright.nz. The website allows people to check what the current fire season is. It is currently open, but if it moves to restricted Geddes said, people will be able to apply for their permits online. The website also contains important information for people in both urban and rural areas about how to keep their properties fire safe. Being smart about fires while

working is also important said Geddes. Carrying a fire extinguisher, ensuring equipment is well serviced and having communications on site where you are working. “You only need to look at what happened in the Lewis Pass the other day,” he said. “It looks like that was just a collapsed wheel bearing that caused that fire.” The Ashburton District Council has been busy ensuring their

open green spaces are going to be as safe as possible once things begin to dry out. Service delivery group manager Neil McCann said private properties are the responsibility of the owner, and that generally grass alongside roads in rural areas are the responsibility of the owner. “The only time we will get involved is if the grass gets so long near an intersection and becomes a danger,” he said.

Rain and heat result in growth explosion With Ashburton’s rainfall in November and December double the amount that fell over the same period last year, there has been an explosion of growth in the Ashburton District’s parks, gardens and reserves. Add to that a burst of hot weather over the Christmas-New

Year period when council staff were on leave and that 2019 arrived with a huge workload for the open spaces team, says council chief executive Hamish Riach. “The Christmas season means that work is scaled back due to the holiday break. The combination of these circumstances have

meant that our green areas are not as tidy as we expect them to be, but we are now on to it with maintenance crews working hard to get these spaces looking spick and span again,” he said. At the Environment Canterbury Hinds site 220.5mm of rain was recorded in November and

December. This was significantly higher than the 104mm recorded for the same period in 2017. Staff and contractors were back in full swing now, and over the next two weeks the district’s green spaces would be back up to the expected standard, Riach said.

Strike will see surgery, specialist visits delayed Ashburton people waiting for surgery or a CDHB outpatient appointment on January 15 or 16, might find they have to wait a little longer. With a junior doctors’ strike planned for those days, the Canterbury District Health Board chief people officer Michael Frampton said, some of those appointments may be rescheduled. While staff were trying to call everyone whose appointment would be rescheduled, an 0800 line had been set up to allow people to check their appointments. If you have not heard from the CDHB and your appointment or surgery is scheduled for either of those days, you should call 0800 778 226, state your name, contact phone number and NHI number, Frampton said. The 0800 line will be answered between 8am and 5pm daily until January 17. After hours callers can leave a message and they will be called back. Some complex surgeries in the days leading up to the 48 hour strike may also be rescheduled. “We apologise to those who have been affected.

Preparing for the big ‘megathrust’ It’s a case of when, not if, New Zealand’s largest fault ruptures potentially producing a “megathrust” earthquake with devastating effects. Evidence suggests the likelihood of a rupture along the Hikurangi subduction zone – which runs from the top of the East Cape to the upper east of the South Island – may be higher than previously understood. Consequently five Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) Groups from across the North Island East Coast are working together to develop an emergency response plan. They are using a magnitude 8.9 earthquake and tsunami scenario, which in reality could see many east coast cities and towns inundated, seismic shaking and liquefaction. A subduction zone is where one tectonic plate subducts (dives) underneath another – the boundary between these two plates forms a large fault. The Hikurangi subduction zone runs offshore from the east of Gisborne down to the top of the South Island and poses a significant earthquake and tsunami risk to the entire east coast of New Zealand. GNS scientist Dr Laura Wallace said the chance of a rupture occurring was higher than previously understood. This was a result of insights gained following the Kaikoura earthquakes, evidence for pressure building on the fault, and geological evidence for prehistoric earthquakes on the subduction zone. “We have been building up a lot of knowledge over the past 10 to 15 years. GPS data suggests a large portion of the fault is locked up and building pressure, and will be relieved in the future in the form of an earth-

quake.” Another factor were the “slow slip” events, also known as silent earthquakes. These events can last from days to years, and can produce up to tens of centimetres of displacements along faults without seismologists even realising. Studies have tied them to two 2014 quakes: the 8.1 Iquique earthquake in Chile was preceded by a slow slip event, and a 7.2 shake off the coast of Mexico occurred just two months after one started. When the Kaikoura Earthquake erupted in November 2016, with the equivalent energy release of 400 atomic bombs, shockwaves travelled hundreds of kilometres through the ground and triggered a series of faults as they spread. It’s believed they also kicked off a slow-slip event along the Hikurangi subduction zone more than 600km from Kaikoura spanning an area of more than 15,000sq km – comparable to the land area of New Caledonia. Silent quakes aren’t always stress-builders; along some parts of the plate boundary, they are actually relieving tension. Wallace said subduction zone faults had been responsible for most of the world’s deadliest earthquakes and tsunamis to date, with Japan 2011 being the most recent example. “We know the Hikurangi subduction zone can produce large earthquakes and tsunamis, and these events have happened in the past. “We know they are possible, evidence suggests they have happened hundreds of years ago, so the questions are not if, but when, and how large and what the impacts will be,” Wallace said.

Football icon Wynton Rufer is lucky to be alive following a heart attack on Sunday.

■ LUCKY ESCAPE

‘His heart just stopped beating’ New Zealand football icon Wynton Rufer has emerged from a coma after suffering a heart attack on Sunday. The 56-year-old All Whites great confirmed to Radio Sport that he was “walking with a lime scooter” after attending the New Zealand Breakers’ NBL match against the Perth Wildcats at Auckland’s Spark Arena when he suffered a mild heart attack. Rufer, who was with friend Florian Wellmann at the time, said he was expected to make a full recovery. His brother Shane told the Herald Wynton should be out of hospital within the next three or four days. “It was a huge shock for the family but now we are rejoicing. We are delighted we are going to be able to spend more Easters, more Christmases together and maybe even catch some kingfishes together,” Shane said. “After the basketball game, he was heading up to Parnell on a lime scooter.

stopped and he was falling off this thing. “The friend he was with wasn’t sure what to do ... but he did the most important thing. He yelled out ‘help help’. “People came running. There were some neighbours, some people jumped out of a car. A stranger started CPR and that probably saved his life.” According to Shane an ambulance was dispatched from the nearby ASB Tennis Centre, and was there “within a few minutes”. “Wynton is good, he’s full of beans, cracking a few jokes. He’s feeling good. You would if you have a cardiac arrest and you come back to life.” Wellmann earlier told German media that he screamed for help after Rufer went down while the pair were on a side street. Wellmann’s pleas were answered by an elderly woman who stopped and called emergency services on her mobile phone, while two other men also stopped their car to offer assistance.

“One of them (men) pushed me away and immediately started resuscitation on Wynton,” Wellmann told Kreiszeitung Syke. “I was totally in shock, paralysed. And the man did that because he completed a life-saving course three weeks ago.” According to Kreiszeitung Syke, Rufer was put in an induced coma but woke up again on Tuesday. Rufer became a household name when he was added to the All Whites squad late in their bid to qualify for the 1982 World Cup in Spain; instantly making a presence on the field. His showings in the All Whites jersey saw him be snapped up by Swiss clubs FC Aarau and Grasshoppers. He then starred for glamour German team Werder Bremen between 1989-95. Named the Oceania Footballer of the Century by the Oceania Football Confederation, he is still a leading figure in New Zealand football and runs the WYNRS football academy. - NZME

■ UNITED STATES

Trump slams the table Donald Trump has stormed out of talks with Democrat leaders over the US government shutdown, calling the meeting a “waste of time”. Trump later tweeted that he had said ‘bye-bye’ as he left the talks which aimed to find a resolution to the deadlock over funding for the Mexican border wall. Trump said he could still declare a national emergency as the now 19-day government shutdown threatens to rip the US government apart. The President called talks with Democrats a “total waste of time”, the day after his Oval Office address in which he called for support from the US public and Democrats for a resolution to the impasse. Speaking to reporters about the tense meeting, Senator Chuck Schumer said Trump stormed out following disagreements about the border wall. “He said, ‘If I open up the government you won’t do what I want,’” said Schumer. “That’s cruel, that’s callous, and that’s using millions of innocent people as pawns. “A few minutes later, he sort of slammed the table, and when Leader Pelosi said she didn’t agree with the wall, he just walked out and said we have nothing to discuss. “He said it was a waste of his time.” Vice President Mike Pence denied Schumer’s claims, saying Trump never raised his voice or slammed his hand on the table. However Trump confirmed he had abruptly left the meeting, tweeting: “Just left a meeting with Chuck [Schumer] and Nancy [Pelosi], a total waste of time.” “I asked what is going to happen in 30 days if I quickly open things up, are you going to approve Border Security which includes a Wall or Steel Barrier?” “Nancy said, NO,” Trump said. “I said bye-bye, nothing else works!” In a national emergency, Trump should be able to draft

Water Girl a big hit While the majority of people on social media have fallen in love with Fiji Water Girl not everyone was a fan of her attention-grabbing antics at the Golden Globes. Promotional model Kelleth Cuthbert made headlines after photos went viral of her appearing in the background of celebrity red carpet photos holding a tray of Fiji Water bottles. One celebrity Cuthbert photo bombed wasn’t happy about pictures of the branded water going viral – Jamie Lee Curtis took to Instagram to complain about the stunt.

US President Donald Trump is standing ﬁrm on the Mexican wall. in defence department resources to build the wall, but this is likely to face a major court challenge. Before leaving the White House for Capitol Hill, the President told reporters that if Congress would not agree to his demand for $5.7 billion border wall funding, “we’ll go about it in a different manner”. He said he had the “absolute right to do a national emergency if I want”, and that his threshold “will be if I can’t make a deal with people that are unreasonable.” The Democrats are only willing to provide $US1.3 billion for border security, including fencing and surveillance, and called the wall immoral and unnecessary. Asked how long he was willing to let the shutdown continue, Trump replied: “Whatever it takes.” The partial government

shutdown is creating deep divisions in an already ruptured Congress, with some Republicans ready to vote against Trump on the border wall. Democrats in the House of Representatives – where the party has the majority – will introduce a vote on a series of bills to reopen key parts of the government this afternoon. But they will need to gain support from the GOP-majority Senate. Trump emerged from a lunchtime meeting with GOP politicians saying: “The Republicans are totally unified … There was no discussion of anything other than solidarity.” He then headed to a third round of negotiations with Democrats, but described the talks as “a total waste of time” as they broke down yet again. But their actions suggested that Trump’s claim the party was “very, very united” was

not entirely accurate. Republican senators Cory Gardner and Susan Collins, up for re-election in 2020 in the knife-edge states of Colorado and Maine respectively, have called for votes to end the shutdown. Seven GOP members of Congress crossed the floor to vote last week and even more may support Democrat bills oto reopen the Treasury Department, Internal Revenue Service and other agencies. “We expect that with each passing day, additional Republicans in the House, as well as Senate Republicans, will publicly express their objection to keeping the government shut down,” Democrats conference chairman Hakeem Jeffries told the Washington Post. “We expect that the number will cross into double figures today and as the week proceeds.” - PA

‘Hero’ cop now awaiting execution Robert Fratta smiles at television cameras, licks his finger then wipes his face with it. He is concerned about the way he looks, which wouldn’t be a problem if his wife hadn’t been brutally murdered the night before. It was February 10, 1994, and the police officer-turned bodybuilder strode towards waiting media wearing blue jeans, a blue and yellow jacket and a bum bag.

He told reporters from a local news station in Humble, Texas, “I hope they find the guy soon”. Then he played up to cameras, cleaning his face and offering a cheesy grin. Fratta not only knew who “the guy” was, but was responsible for hiring him. In the midst of a messy divorce, the father-of-three solicited as many as seven people to carry out his wife’s murder.

He eventually found Joseph Prystash, who agreed. Prystash hired a third man, Howard Paul Guildry, to do the shooting, news.com.au reported. On February 9, Fratta took his children to a local church. While there, Guildry entered the couple’s property through a back gate and shot Farah Fratta, 33, in the head. She was shot again as she lay dying in the couple’s driveway. The innocent act Fratta

played was flawed. Though his alibi was concrete, his phone calls led police right to him. During the night, while the murder was taking place, Fratta, Prystash and Guildry were all in constant communication. All three would be sentenced to be executed. On Wednesday, the US Supreme Court rejected Fratta’s appeal. He awaits his execution date on death row. - PA

Life advice from Minaj Manu from Manurewa was having a blast. Sitting on a pink chair in the middle of Spark Arena’s main stage, Manu had four dancers writhing slowly around him. That’s not all: sitting on his lap, dressed like an Egyptian princess, was none other than Nicki Minaj. Suddenly, Minaj asked a question to ask. Did Manu have a girlfriend? Manu nodded his head, and pointed to the VIP section. The girlfriend had a question of her own: Should she marry her boyfriend? After a confused pause, Minaj replied, “Of course! Be happy! Live your lives!”

SHOULD I SELL MY HOUSE

Kevin Lampen-Smith

REA

Selling a property is easy, right? All you need to do is stick a ‘for sale’ sign out front, put a few photos online and hold a couple of open homes. Job done! Why wouldn’t you do it yourself? The fact that private sales made up just 10 per cent of all residential property sales in New Zealand in the year to July (down from 13 per cent in 2017 and 17 per cent in 2014) might be a clue that it’s not as simple and straightforward as you might think. Research by the industry membership organisation Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) found that the median price for properties sold by real estate agents was 10.9 per cent higher than private sales. “Property transactions are big financial deals and they can get complicated very quickly,” says Real Estate Authority chief executive Kevin Lampen-Smith. “Selling a home, which is likely to be your biggest asset as well as being a physical and emotional roof over your head, is not like selling a used car or flogging your unwanted Christmas presents on TradeMe.” If you decide to sell your property privately, you will absolutely save on the commission that you’d otherwise pay a real estate agent,” Lampen-Smith says. “Your target is to get at least close to what an agent would get for your house. You pay commission to an agent for them to get the best price and that extra value is what they will tell you pays your commission for you, along with less hassle on the DIY front.” You know your property better than anyone, so you’re in a good position to ‘sell’ its features. You’ll have complete control over the process because you’ll be dealing directly with potential buyers. You get to decide every step of the process, including choosing the method of sale and setting the price. However, with complete power comes complete responsibility, Lampen-Smith says. “When you’re selling a property, you have a legal obligation to share all the relevant information about it, such as any issues with the boundary or title, any unconsented building work or alterations, any known weathertightness issues and whether there are any proposed developments that could have an impact on a buyer’s access, views or enjoyment. “If you fail to do this, you could be in breach of your agreement with the buyer. This could put the sale in

jeopardy, or the buyer could seek compensation and take you to court.” Lampen-Smith says would-be private sellers will need sharp marketing and negotiation skills, as well as the ability to be objective. “What you think of the property and what it’s worth won’t necessarily be shared by potential buyers,” he says. “It’s easy to sell a property when there are a few houses for sale and many buyers, but the market isn’t as buoyant now in parts of the country as it was a year ago. Your expectations of price and ease of sale are aligned with market conditions. These are things that real estate agents think about day in and day out.”

If you’re still keen to DIY it, make sure you’ve got some good advice from the experts. “It can be very useful to get an independent assessment of what your property is worth, so you can work out the price you’ll be willing to accept,” Lampen-Smith says. “You can research online (for free) or pay for a registered valuation. We strongly recommend that you use a lawyer or conveyancer to handle all the legal documentation, including the sale and purchase agreement. You may also want to consider help when it comes to preparing the property for viewings, whether that means engaging a home staging company who will make it look

pretty, or a trusted friend to run any open homes.” Ultimately, there’s no reason why you can’t sell your own property if you think you’ve got the time, skills and energy. You’ll need to be ready to juggle a lot of things at once – including marketing and negotiation – on top of your usual responsibilities. Whatever you do, make sure you go into the process with your eyes open. For independent guidance and information on buying or selling, check out settled.govt.nz.

Keep up your watering. Water early evening or in the morning before the sun has any heat in it, to maximise the absorption from the plants. Extra attention needs to be given to your juicy plants like tomatoes and strawberries. Apply mulch around the garden to reduce the need for watering. Mulch will protect the soil from the sun’s intense heat, and also retain water. Check your soil by pushing your finger down to your second knuckle. If it’s dry, you’ll need to water. Pick tomatoes as soon as they’re ready. The same goes for zucchinis, unless you want them to grow into a marrow. Artichokes, peas, butternuts and cucumbers should all be ready for harvesting in January too. Harvest your potatoes too. Flowering is one sign that they’re ready. If they’re not, continue to mound up the soil around them to encourage more tubers. Keep up your planting for a constant supply of leafy greens over summer. Fast growing veges like rocket, lettuce, basil and coriander are great to be continually planting every few weeks right now. Also try poking some spring onions into your garden to fill your gaps. Dead-head your flowers, such as marigolds and petunias. Picking off your flowers when they dry will stop them rotting, and make way for the next round of blooms to come through. This includes cutting back your roses to ensure they keep on flowering. Cut them back to the nearest bud – where the stem looks about the thickness of

Kona - you make the rules

he all-new Kona Electric is the first compact electric SUV in New Zealand with over 400km in effective, real-world driving range. Combining impressive electric driving range with bold and distinctive SUV style – you define it according to your rules. Kona Electric’s confident, unique style sets it apart from the crowd. At the front, the sleek closed grille proudly signifies its electric powertrain and together with the characteristic LED twin headlights, creates a truly one-of-akind look. Exclusive 17-inch alloy wheels and an amazing choice of exterior colours and contrasting roof colours allow you to customise your Kona Electric to match your personal style. The all-new Kona Electric is designed to fit everything you and your busy life can throw at it – with plenty of room for both passengers and luggage with a boot capacity of 332L (VDA) including charging cable. But it’s also the attention to detail that makes it so special. Discover an exceptional level of comfort with high-quality materials throughout for

a sensuous and refined feel. 3 ways to charge 1. In-Cable Control Box (ICCB) charging cable (43 hours)

Recharge your Kona Electric practically anywhere. It’s designed to connect to a standard 3 PIN wall socket and will recharge Kona

Electric using household AC current. 2. Fast Charge Wall Box (9.5 hours) The optional accessory wall box for your household improves charge times by utilising a high amperage power supply. 3. Public Rapid Charging Station (75 minutes to 80% charge) The fastest way to charge your Kona Electric. Utilising a powerful DC charging unit the rapid charger offers a fast and convenient solution to those out on the road. * Charging times for the high voltage battery may vary as it is dependent on the condition of the high voltage battery, charger specifications and ambient temperature. Nobody ever said that electric mobility had to be boring. Quick off the line thanks to the 395 Nm of instant torque delivered through the all-electric powertrain, Kona Electric accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in only 7.6 seconds, with over 400 kilometres driving range on a single charge.

UMV grabbing attention W

hen experts ponder the future of automobiles, they tend to focus on two novel modes of transportation: driverless cars and flying

cars. At this year’s CES technology show in Las Vegas, Hyundai has introduced a third vision for how vehicles might traverse the world around them - one that doesn’t rely solely on wheels. More than 2,000 years after the wheelbarrow’s debut in classical Greece, ushering in a new era of locomotion, Hyundai’s latest concept car is designed to walk as easily as it rolls. Called “Elevate,” the daddy-long-legslike machine has wheels at the end of long robotic legs that would allow “users to drive, walk or even climb over the most treacherous terrain,” according to the company. The company – which labels the machine a UMV, or “ultimate mobility vehicle” – said the concept was inspired by the need for “resilient transportation” in disaster zones, where conventional vehicles are often rendered useless. “When a tsunami or earthquake hits, current rescue vehicles can only deliver first responders to the edge of the debris field,” John Suh, Hyundai vice president and head of Hyundai CRADLE, said in a statement on the company’s website. “They have to go the rest of the way by foot. Elevate can drive to the scene and climb right over flood debris or crumbled concrete.” Suh added that the vehicle’s usefulness wouldn’t be limited to emergency

situations. For people living with disabilities without access to an ADA ramp, the statement said, an autonomous version of the Elevate could walk to a front door and position itself so that a wheelchair could “roll right in.” How realistic is the Elevate concept? David Bailey, a professor at Aston Business School in England, told the BBC that

although concept cars may not make it to the factory floor, they can help generate valuable new ideas. “For most of us, it’s going to be wheels and roads, but in extreme situations, there may be scope for this sort of thing,” Bailey said. “There may well be applications in terms of emergency services – but there are

very big technological challenges to make this sort of thing.” Hyundai’s vision is undeniably ambitious. The company said it envisions being able to switch out different Elevate body types for different situations. The vehicle is designed to utilise “both mammalian and reptilian walking gaits,” giving it the ability to travel in any direction, the company said, noting that the legs fold up into a “stowed drive-mode” to save power. Those legs, the company said, would be able to climb over a five-foot wall and step across a five-foot gap. A concept video produced by Hyundai shows the vehicle performing a mixture of driving and walking. When the surface is relatively flat, the vehicle turns to conventional wheels, but when the terrain grows craggy, the vehicle’s wheels appear to lock into place and its legs extend, taking synchronised steps forward. When surrounded by massive chunks of concrete from what appears to be a collapsed structure, Elevate is shown levelling itself on an incline so that rescuers can load a stretcher inside. “Imagine a car that’s stranded in a snow ditch just 10 feet off the highway being able to walk or climb over the treacherous terrain, back to the road, potentially saving its injured passengers – this is the future of vehicular mobility,” said David Byron, industrial design manager at Sundberg-Ferar, a Detroit-based design firm that partnered with Hyundai to create the Elevate.

INFINITI Inspiration P

reviewing the brand’s electrified future, INFINITI will unveil its new QX Inspiration concept at the 2019 North American International Auto Show this month. The new concept represents INFINITI’s plans for high-performance electrified vehicles, offering complete range confidence, while signalling a new era for INFINITI design enabled by new technology. Infused with Japanese DNA, a refreshed form language hints at the potency and character of the brand’s future electrified powertrains. The development of new electric vehicle platforms enables the formation of spacious, lounge-like interiors. In the case of the QX Inspiration concept, the cabin has been hand-crafted using traditional techniques and a choice of materials inspired by a subtle Japanese sensuality. New interior technology follows the Japanese hospitality principle of ‘omotenashi’, creating a welcoming environment, while assisting drivers and connecting occupants to the world around them. “QX Inspiration is the beginning of a new era for INFINITI, and an illustration of where we want to go with the brand. New technology has given us the opportunity to evolve our design philosophy – and the new vehicle communicates the ‘serene strength’ at our core.” Karim Habib, Executive Design Director, INFINITI INFINITI’s new concept will be revealed in Detroit on 14 January 2019.

McLaren hits record sales

lobal sales for McLaren Automotive, the British creator of luxury sportscars and supercars, rose to 4806 cars in 2018 with sales up 43.9 per cent over the previous year. This is another record for the company which has increased sales every year since its formation in 2010. North America, which represents McLaren’s biggest single market and over a third of global sales, surpassed the 5000 cars sold mark since sales started in 2011 and achieved another year of record growth. European sales rose 44.2 per cent, but the biggest leap was seen in China at 122.5 per cent growth following the introduction of the 570S Spider and 720S. China now accounts for almost 7 per cent of total global sales. McLaren’s UK domestic market remained strong, achieving a 49.2 per cent year-on-year growth. The company celebrated building its 15,000th car in the summer at the McLaren Production Centre (MPC) in Woking, Surrey, where all its cars are hand-assembled, and consistently achieved over 20 cars a day with production exported to over 30 markets. The MPC also built its most varied mix of products yet including examples from each of the company’s now firmly established Sports, Super and Ultimate Series offerings. As well as the 600LT and McLaren

Senna, the company also launched the first two of 18 new products or derivates under its £1.2bn Track25 business plan, the fully deposited Speedtail and, most recently, 720S Spider. Growth was supported by a rise in the number of retailers with openings in Bellevue, Washington and Troy, Michigan in North America, a second site added in Tokyo plus new sites in Sao Paulo, Guangzhou in China and Leeds and Hatfield in the UK, signalling a strong domestic market. McLaren’s in-house bespoke division, McLaren Special Operations (MSO), which undertakes special vehicle commission and customisation, also had a busy year. More customers are now choosing to add unique, additional luxury touches to their acquisitions which has seen the MSO order book triple in one year. In November, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Crown Prince of Bahrain opened the company’s second ever facility, the £50m McLaren Composites Technology Centre in the Sheffield region. It will help the company to innovate and produce lightweight carbon fibre ‘tubs’ that will enable it to deliver the lightest in class products and win what CEO Mike Flewitt has described as the new ‘lightweight race’ in place of the traditional ‘power race’, essential as the company moves towards 100 per cent hybrid sportscars and supercars by 2024.

Zero range anxiety!

t was pouring when I left Christchurch for home via Diamond Harbour. So first thoughts were that these were not ideal conditions for my first drive of Hyundai’s long-range (fully charged and ready to do an indicated 446km) Kona EV with its economy focused tyres. But we found the weather didn’t matter whilst driving this quite distinctive but attractive (well perhaps with the exception of the panel in place of the grille) compact SUV looking vehicle with its contrasting, ‘body armour’ and 17-inch alloys. And, we arrived home with the car indicating the batteries were still good for a further 297km! Size-wise, Kona is a little shorter, but wider than the Mazda CX-3 and Toyota C-HR. Despite its distinctive outside looks, and being an EV, both the cabin’s looks, layout and controls are not too different. The main exception is the four flat, square switches on the center console – Drive, Reverse, Neutral and Park. These are instead of a gear selector and are very easy to use. There’s a large central tablet-style multimedia display for the Apple Carplay/ Android Auto allowing easy connectivity and quick access to information, entertainment, recharge stations etc. While a smart-phone is needed for navigation there’s wireless smart-phone

charging and a heads-up display. The Elite also has leather furnishings, heated/ventilated comfortable and supportive front seats giving very good all-round views. Meanwhile the very efficient dual zone air-con causes minimal possible drain on the batteries because it works through an inverter (heat-pump). So once behind the wheel it’s just a case of pressing the start button, the Drive or Reverse switch with power arriving both silently and immediately you put your foot on the accelerator. This happens even more urgently when selecting Sports mode, when 0-100kmh times in less than 7.5 seconds become possible! However for most of the many kilometres driven the default Comfortmode was entirely satisfactory and provided suitably brisk out-of-town motoring, including overtaking and effortless climbs up Dyers/Gebbies Passes, and out of the Rakaia Gorge. The Eco modes, while maximising the automatic regeneration of the batteries, subdue the performance and are best used in selected about town/city driving situations. This automatic regeneration of course also happens during braking and on descents while in Comfort and Sport. It can be increased via the paddles, even to such a dramatic extent that almost

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

brought the Kona to a stop when descending the steepest bit of the road into the Rakaia Gorge. But what about plugging it in? Well, while the home charge cable fits nicely under the boot floor, the one for the DC fast-charge station (for charging up to 80 per cent of battery capacity or around 350km in 75 minutes) sits in a bag which encroaches a little on some of the available 320 litres of luggage space. Then unless you are doing long trips you may be able to avoid the etiquette (or lack of such) at public fast-charge stations and as I did, use the home charge 3-pin plug each night, but to charge a nearly ‘flat’ battery this way can take some 43 hours. However for the cost of around $2000 you can install an AC fast-charge wall box in your garage, which will charge the battery to 80 per cent capacity in 9.5 hours and then top it up to 100 per cent. On the aforementioned winding roads,

while the steering doesn’t provide much feel and the tyres gave warning of their wet grip limits, the Kona felt pleasantly precise and predictable. No doubt that’s because of the rigid chassis, multi-link rear suspension and the weight of its low mounted batteries. Despite it SUV-like looks, I didn’t drive any shingle roads. The rear seat offers decent space and head-room for two adults, together with easy access thereto. There’s an array of SmartSense active safety technologies on board, including radar-based lane assist, forward collision warning, blind spot warning and the excellent adaptive cruise control.

FINALE I really enjoyed my time with this practical, versatile,comfortable Kona EV with its definite long range driving/ touring ability complete with both zero emissions and zero range anxiety. Granted it and the needed AC fastcharger for the garage mean for quite an expensive package, it can’t tow and when touring you will still need to plot a route to meet up with the occasional fast charger!

Aussies get Ice Blue

INI Australia is proud to announce pricing and specification for the Millbrook Edition, a strictly limited-production machine based on the sporty John Cooper Works Hatch. “We love demonstrating the wide range of personalisation options available to MINI owners,” said MINI Australia Gen-

eral Manager, Brett Waudby. “It’s fantastic to express this via special edition vehicles, such as the Blackheath and Kensington MINIs we have recently showcased. “Millbrook is a fitting special edition offer, and with only 20 destined for the Australian market, it will become a collector’s item,” he said. A vintage motorsport-inspired exterior finish has been applied to the Millbrook

Edition. This metallic Heritage paintwork, known as Ice Blue, is exclusive to the Millbrook Edition JCW Hatch. Black 17-inch light-alloy wheels offset the Ice Blue paint and feature performance tyres for additional agility over the standard run flat tyres. Providing additional differentiation are the standard-fit additional driving lights and covers, a nod to the original Mini’s

giant-killing rallying in the 1960s. The high-end Lounge leather upholstery is standard-fit, with seat heating also standard. The eight-speed sports automatic transmission with gear shift paddles and Launch Control is fitted as standard. These additions build on the already-impressive standard specification of the MINI John Cooper Works Hatch.

Open road warrior

rabham Automotive is pleased to confirm a new Road Compliance Conversion option for its limited edition BT62 track car, which will make the vehicle

road legal. The Australian high-performance manufacturer built the BT62 to be an unrestricted track car, with performance and power that significantly surpasses that of a GT car. While that hasn’t changed, the iconic marque is responding to some customers’

desire for occasional road use – particularly to drive their BT62 to and from the circuit. For the European market, the road compliant conversion process for the BT62 will take place in the UK and costs £150,000 in addition to the list price of the car. It will be handled by Brabham Automotive ahead of registration. A similar process is being undertaken in Australia and Brabham Automotive will aim to fulfill requests for a similar conver-

sion in other jurisdictions. Each BT62 will be put through the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) IVA (Individual Vehicle Approval) test. This test ensures it has been designed and constructed to meet and achieve all regulatory standards to see the BT62 on the open road. In addition to the regulatory requirements, specification changes will also be made to make the vehicle more usable on the road. This includes raising the ride height with

a front and rear axle lift kit, increasing the steering lock range, adding air conditioning, fitting door locks and immobilisers, and including additional high-quality upholstery in the interior. The objective was to make the car legal, safe and usable on the road with minimal compromise to its race-bred circuit dynamics. Whilst there will be a slight increase in weight there will be no reduction in power, retaining the 700bhp power output.

of oil. Sprinkle with paprika and lightly season. Add the capsicum and wrapped garlic, then place in the oven to roast for 2530 minutes. Turn the capsicum over during roasting to blacken both sides. Ensure garlic is very soft (if not return to oven for a little longer). ■ Place the red pepper in a bowl, cover with a tea towel and allow to steam for 10 minutes before peeling away and discarding the skin. Set aside. When the garlic is cool enough to handle, pop garlic cloves out of their skins and set aside. Heat a dash of oil in a small frying pan and panfry the bread on both sides until golden. ■ Place the tomatoes, capsicum, garlic, bread, almonds, vinegar and chilli flakes in a food processor. Process to blend, drizzling the olive oil in through the feed

tube. Keep romesco sauce a little chunky to give the sauce texture. Season to taste and serve immediately or store covered in the refrigerator. ■ Beef: Heat a heavy-based large frying pan over a medium heat. Rub sirloin steaks with a little oil and freshly ground black pepper. Pan-fry steaks for 3-4 minutes each side for medium-rare.

OUR VIEW

Pool closure timing does make sense W

hen I first read of the closure of the EA Networks Centre swimming pools late last year, I’ll have to admit my first reaction was one of confusion. Why would you close such a prime swimming location in the middle of summer, during the school holidays? But, the more you sit back – take a breath and then have a look at the situation, it’s a good call. Numbers always tell the best story and while it might be a bit of a surprise to many people this time of the year is actually a lowuse time for the pool with many

preferring to head to the outdoor facilities available around the district, especially the Tinwald Pool at the Tinwald Domain. We give a lot of stick as a community to decision makers when we react on a spur of the moment outburst of emotion. There was a lot of flak being

thrown in the way of those in charge of the pool at the EA Networks Centre and the Ashburton District Council – largely by a group of people who were actually unlikely to use the facility anyway. But no decision is made without reasoning behind it. And that counts for almost every decision made by those who are in a position to do so, whether they be at the helm of a business or at the epicentre of a community like the council offices. The first reaction we make is often not the most thought out one we can offer – emotion can

be a power-charged thing with plenty of potential damage left in its wake. So, the closure of the EA Networks Centre pools makes a whole lot of sense for a couple of very good reasons. And to be completely honest too – I’d much rather know I was going to swim at a venue that was fully functional, nice and clean and was starved of any issues than one that may or may not have a couple of problems. And then there’s the prospect of swimming in a community pool – outdoors, reliving a bit of a misspent youth doing bombs

and running and jumping where you’re not supposed to. Some of my best times growing up as a youngster were spent at the Methven Community Pool in the summer with a big group of mates, wasting away the summer days laying on the side of the pool until it got too hot and then jumping in to cool down before repeating the process over and over. They were great times and as wonderful of a venue as the EA Networks Centre pools are it is just not quite the same. Get out there and enjoy it while you can.

Ten years ago: A passenger ferry sank in a storm off Indonesia’s Sulawesi island, killing at least

230 people. Five years ago: Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, 85, died eight years after a devastating stroke left him in a coma. One year ago: President Donald Trump was quoted as having used bluntly vulgar language during an Oval Office meeting with lawmakers while asking why the US would accept more immigrants from Haiti and African countries rather than places like Norway. Edgar Ray Killen, a 1960s Klan leader who was convicted decades later in

the slayings of three civil rights workers, died in prison at the age of 92. Today’s birthdays: Former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien is 85. Actor Mitchell Ryan is 85. Actor Felix Silla is 82.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, January 11, the 11th day of 2019. There are 354 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On January 11, 1913, the first enclosed sedan-type automobile, a Hudson, went on display at the 13th National Automobile Show in New York. On this date: In 1846, The battle at Ruapekapeka (bats’ nest), a sophisticated pā built by the Ngāpuhi chief Kawiti, ended when it was occupied by British and Māori forces. It also sparked the end of the Northern War. In 1935, aviator Amelia Earhart began an 18-hour trip from Honolulu to Oakland, California, that made her the first person to fly solo across any part of the Pacific Ocean. In 1939, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and Lord Halifax, the British foreign secretary, met with Italian leader Benito Mussolini in Rome. In 1964, US Surgeon General Luther Terry issued Smoking and Health, a report which concluded that “cigarette smoking contributes substantially to mortality from certain specific diseases and to the overall death rate”. In 1977, France set off an international uproar by releasing Abu Daoud, a PLO official behind the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. In 1978, two Soviet cosmonauts aboard the Soyuz 27 capsule linked up with the Salyut 6 orbiting space station, where the Soyuz 26 capsule was already docked. In 1989, nine days before leaving the White House, President Ronald Reagan bade the nation farewell in a prime-time address, saying of his eight years in office: “We meant to change a nation and instead we changed a world.” In 1995, 51 people were killed when a Colombian DC-9 jetliner crashed as it was preparing to land near the Caribbean resort of Cartagena — however, 9-year-old Erika Delgado survived.

Christmas confession! I

have a confession to make. Over the Christmas period we ventured off to the Rangitata Camping Ground for 10 days of rest, relaxing and fishing. This year, I was involved in a little incident and I feel the need to tell you exactly what happened before you hear any exaggerated versions of the story. Manda and I went to join the father-in-law fishing just after lunch on New Year’s Eve, which was our cunning plan to delay the start of our New Year celebrations. He hadn’t had a bite, let alone caught anything in the hour that he had been fishing prior to our arrival. But we thought, let’s give it a crack Nigel and threw our lines in. I would normally stand and hold my rod, waiting to feel the ‘big one’ chomp on my hook, but my good mate Gary Strachan had told me to chuck the rod on the back of the motorbike. This gives you two hands to open the beer. As I mentioned last year, Gary is pretty much the Mayor of Rangi and his bach is very close to the entrance of the ‘village’. This is very handy as I visited him a few times this trip and managed to avoid going deeper into the hut area. It is a dark and mysterious place further into the village and people have disappeared in there for days on end, only to resurface, with very little recollection of what happened. Gary is always very generous with his fishing tips, even to a fishing Muppet like yours truly. He also gave us some smoked trout, elephant fish and eel, which we devoured like a pack of lions around a fresh kill. He also shared with me his ‘Top Secret Crispy Batter’ recipe, which I’m pretty sure is second only to the Colonel’s herbs and spices combination in secretness (new word for the new year). So anyway back to the fishing,

I took Gary’s advice and secured my rod in the holder on the back of our four-wheeler. An hour later, Manda had enough and headed for the camp and the Spiced Rum bottle. I fought the urge for another half an hour or so, the lack of bites didn’t help any! Robin was on the same wave length and we packed up, ready to head back to the camp. I packed away my bait and gear, gave the chopping board a wash in the surf. Here’s the silly bit! I remember thinking to myself, that ‘pack up’ went quickly. I started up the bike with a little nervousness, after the running out of petrol issue I had a few days earlier. I told you I was a fishing Muppet. Off I raced up the beach towards the camp. I kept hearing a whizzing noise coming from the back of the bike. After a couple of stops to check for the source, I clicked. I hadn’t wound in my fishing line. At the same time Robin spotted the fishing line in the driftwood and twigged (excuse the pun) and started his series of laughing and eye rolling. Just as I hopped off my bike and started walking and winding, Kerry O’Neill pulled up on his bike. “What are you doing?” “Nothing!” “You forgot to wind in your line didn’t you?” “Maybe.” Cue hysterical laughter and a breathless “I hope all the local media hears about this” and then more hysterical laughter as he drove off. I eventually made it back to

“A very unlucky fish” my fishing spot, past several families (all laughing) and wound my line in. Would have been funny, if there was a fish on the end of it eh? But no. Somehow news of my unfortunate mistake made its way back to the sports day announcer, who saw it fit to let everybody who hadn’t heard from Kerry FM already, know what happened. Unfortunately I didn’t hear this in person as I was having a wee afternoon nap with my daughter. Otherwise known as hiding! I see the entries are out now

■ SERIOUS FRAUD OFFICE

Warning over misuse of public funds need it, but to establish systems that can help prevent money being paid when it shouldn’t,” she said. Read, in the Serious Fraud Office’s annual latest report, said the country had made good progress combating bribery and corruption recently but could not afford to be complacent. Large-scale offending can still take place if we do not remain vigilant. Increased spending on public infrastructure and government procurement as well as expanding social and business links to jurisdictions with high instances of corruption amplify the risks,” Read said in the annual report. The Auckland Transport case saw two men jailed in 2017 over roading contracts. Stephen Borlase, former head of roading contracting business Projenz, was sentenced to five and a half years in prison while Murray Noone, a former senior manager at Auckland Transport, was given a term of five years. The case related to a pattern of payments from Projenz to Noone, totalling more than $1m over seven years, which a judge found were related to the latter’s role in awarding contracts worth tens of millions of dollars to Borlase’s company. The court heard evidence of a culture of largesse in the council’s roading division, as Projenz laid on long lunches for staff – including an eight-hour affair at upmarket eatery Euro that cost $5500. – NZME

Serious Fraud Office chief executive Julie Read has warned that billions of dollars of public money could be being misused, according to RNZ. Read, in an interview with RNZ, said she expected up to 5 per cent of government funding to be obtained or used fraudulently. In the 2017 financial year, that would have been worth nearly $5 billion, from the Crown’s total expenditure of $99.8b. “That’s still a very substantial amount of money. Enough to pay for the SFO a couple of times over,” Read told RNZ. Revenue Minister Stuart Nash was not immediately available to the Herald on the SFO’s claim. Read said defrauding of public funds was the fault of applicants lying and some government agencies’ lack of oversight. Citing the Auckland Transport case, where former employees were convicted for accepting more than $1 million worth of bribes in 2016, Read said some organisations overlooked checks and balances when receiving or allocating funds. The SFO had also investigated cases of individuals defrauding councils, commissions and government-funded trusts. The SFO was working to prevent fraud by strengthening funding systems at public sector agencies and organisations, she said. “What we’re aiming to do, is not to slow down the payment of money to those who

Kiwi wineries need to check who is doing their work after a second exploitation case in the space of two months, says the Labour Inspectorate. The Herald revealed this week that Marlborough vineyard contracting company Double Seven Services and its boss were fined more than $120,000 for exploiting workers and other employment law breaches. “Double Seven has exploited vulnerable migrant employees, employees who will have had little knowledge of their rights or, if they did know their rights, little power or ability to enforce their rights,” ERA member Peter van Keulen said in his decision. The Labour Inspectorate was yesterday calling on the viticulture industry to thoroughly check their supply chains to prevent wine labels being produced by exploited labour. “This is the second determination the ERA [Employment Relations Authority] has made in two months, following an inspectorate investigation on a viticulture contracting company for exploiting workers. Despite this company ceasing to trade over a year ago, penalties and arrears will be pursued in full,” said the inspectorate’s Kevin Finnegan. “It’s a must for all wine businesses to thoroughly check their supply chains to make sure their wine labels and products haven’t been produced in any way with exploited labour, as this can also

have a devastating effect on its reputation. The potential for investors to withdraw from the industry because of poor social practices is high if changes are not made,” Finnegan said. Separately, New Zealand Winegrowers has welcomed the result in the ERA case. “There is no excuse for this kind of behaviour,” said Philip Gregan, chief executive of New Zealand

Winegrowers. “All workers in New Zealand have an absolute right to be fairly paid and fairly treated. This includes being properly paid, having a written contract, and all the other legal benefits. “None of us want labour supply contractors of this kind working in the industry and we applaud the Labour Inspectorate for this prosecution.” – NZME

In brief

■ ASHBURTON TRIALS

Baxter shows credentials Greg and Nina Hope have had a terribly frustrating time of it lately getting Monbet back to the races but they look to have a worthwhile replacement in his half-brother Baxter. The three-year-old Muscle Hill gelding set tongues wagging when he qualified at Ashburton this week in 3.07.6, or 9.4 seconds under the required time. It was an entirely solo effort as stablemate Ella Of Mot (3f Monarchy-Ella Powell) broke twice in the running and was always distanced. “We were hoping to leave him as a colt but he got a little hot as a two-year-old so we had to geld him and turn him out last year,” said Greg. “He’s no Monbet but we expect him to go a fair way.” Baxter, the last foal from Diedre Darling, has had three trials for three wins to date and he just made a minor mistake in a qualifying trial at Ashburton just before Christmas. Diedre Darling only produced four colt foals before being lost and Baxter will be her fourth winner. The All Stars stablemates Enhance Your Calm and Oscar Bonavena, both big ticket purchases as juveniles last season, are expected to fight out the three-year-old features in com-

Trainer Greg Hope expects Baxter to pick up a few wins. ing months with Hope confident Baxter will be competitive with the rest of them. The same could be said of Carlton, who was a sound third in a later standing start heat at Ashburton. The Dream Vacation colt was an impressive winner on debut at Addington almost a year ago, but then lost the plot and went for a long spell in March. “He got so far on natural ability but then he went through some growing pains I think – on breeding you wouldn’t have expected him to go early. “I’ve thrown some half hopples on him for now to stop him over reaching in front.” Baxter and Carlton are both expected to be on hand for the

Orari Challenge Stakes at the Geraldine meeting on February 2, although there is a big question mark hanging over whether the meeting will in fact proceed at Orari. The track was cut up pretty badly when the club last raced there in November and when remedial work should have been done afterwards, it wasn’t. “It needs the heavy roller and a bit of work but there’s enough time before a required inspection,” said former club president, Lochie Marshall. The meeting could be transferred to either Ashburton or Washdyke, with the Hambletonian Classic scheduled for three weeks later at Ashburton on the 23rd.

“Hopefully it does proceed at Orari as we’ve won that race before with Gershwin and Enghien and we’re quite keen on another crack,” said Hope. Meanwhile, it is all systems go again with Monbet and Hope is confident the champion will resume racing next month. He won’t be placed under any undue pressure however and Hope has ruled out any trips to Australia, with the Rowe Cup just a possibility all going well. The Ashburton trials saw another blue blood make an appearance with Adore Me’s first foal in the Sweet Lou filly Sweet On Me having her first trial. She failed to flatter however in battling away for fourth in a mile heat won in 2.07.5 after they dawdled through the half in seven and sprinted home in 27. Stablemate Copperfield did make a good impression in the juvenile heat for colts and geldings though. Mongolian Marshal and Ricky May led them around in a heat won in 2.00.7, home in 57.5 and 26.7, with Copperfield coming from well back at the quarter to run down the pacemaker by a length. Copperfield is a Bettor’s Delight colt from Tricky Woman, an In The Pocket half-sister to Scuse Me. - HRNZ

Waddell on Melody Jason Waddell has snared the plum ride on star sprinter Melody Belle in Saturday week’s Gr.1 JR & N Berkett Telegraph (1200m) at Trentham. Waddell gained the ride on the $1.90 favourite after Te Akau Racing’s stable jockey Opie Bosson was suspended for careless riding at Matamata on Wednesday. “The old saying goes if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em and after getting beaten up by her all spring, I am very grateful to Fortuna and Te Akau Racing for the opportunity to ride their wonderful mare Melody Belle,” Waddell said. - NZME

Gold collects the gold The Daniel Champion and Kezia Murphy-trained He’s Gold made it back-to-back Cups wins when he took out the Reefton Cup under a perfect ride from stable apprentice Gee Saejorhor. He’s Gold, who won the Kurow Cup late last month, punched straight to the lead for Saejorhor from his inside barrier before handing up to Xcuses Xcuses. Saejorhoor improved his charge down the back straight, and ran on to win by a length over Tomm Jones. - NZME

Shinn back on track Star jockey Blake Shinn has returned to trackwork for the first time in almost five months after recovering from neck fractures suffered in a fall in a barrier trial. Shinn received the go-ahead earlier this week to return to trackwork and rode five horses at Randwick yesterday. - AAP

■ KARAKA MILLION

Weekend dress rehearsal for Te Akau runners Te Akau Racing’s hand in this year’s $1 million Karaka Million 2YO (1200m) will become clearer this weekend. Matamata trainer Jamie Richards is assured of four runners in the 1200m Ellerslie two-year-old showpiece on January 26 as he chases a third straight Karaka Million after he and then co-trainer Stephen Autridge produced Melody Belle and Avantage to win the past two. Gr.2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes (1100m) winner and last-start Gr.3 Eclipse Stakes (1200m) runner-up Aotea Lad goes straight into the Karaka Million, but Richards will saddle four other contenders this weekend for the race restricted to graduates of New Zealand Bloodstock yearling sales. Runaway Te Rapa debut winner Yourdeel, impresssive last-start winner Probabeel and stakesplaced Challa all contest Sunday’s NZB Insurance Pearl Series Race (1200m) at Ellerslie a fortnight before a return visit to the same track, while Louis Luck makes a late bid for Karaka Million inclusion when he starts in the Wellington Cup Day Next Saturday Premier (1200m) on debut at Trentham on Saturday. “Louis Luck needs to win to qualify and it looks like he’s bumping into a nice one in John Bary’s horse (The Fugutive) but

Yourdeel was an impressive winner at Te Rapa with Opie Bosson aboard. he’s shown us a lot at home. “He’ll run well,” Richards said. A win at Trentham would earn Louis Luck $18,750, enough to elevate him to equal ninth on the order of entry, though Jager Bombed, Platinum Touch, Rosarito, Vistock, Sanibel and La Joya all fit in the same category in the same race. It’s a less-pressure situation for

Richards at Ellerslie with all three of his starters assured of a Karaka Million run but no less comfortable as he seeks satisfactory final lead-up runs from the trio. “They are all getting ready for the Karaka Million. “They have all been fortunate enough to earn money earlier in the season then had a bit of a break,” Richards said.

“They have fresh legs on the scene and this race will tighten them up nicely for two weeks’ time. “We’ve used this race as the lead-up for the winners of the last two Karaka Millions, though Melody Belle drew the outside and ran near last before coming back to win and then Avantage won this race last year before her win.”

Matthew Cameron rides Dundeel gelding Yourdeel, a 5 1/4length Te Rapa winner over 1200m last month, while stable jockey Opie Bosson rides Probabeel, a 4 1/2-length Ellerslie 1100m winner last month, and Michael Coleman rides Challa, who finished second to race rival Miss Federer in the Listed Welcome Stakes (1000m) at Riccarton in November. “Yourdeel is improving all the time. “He won well at Te Rapa and he’s gone from strength to strength,” Richards said. “Probabeel is a laidback filly and it’s not always easy to get a good line on her, but she’s in good order. “I’ve held back from putting the blinkers on her this weekend – I’ve saved them for Karaka Million. “And Challa has got stakes form from the South Island. He’s really improved since we gelded him. “He’ll run well too.” Richards said no decisions had been made on rider engagements and wouldn’t be till after this weekend as he shoots for a “dream” Karaka Million hat-trick. “To win three times, we’d have to pinch ourselves. “We’re really proud of what we’ve done in this race the last couple of years but it is what we set out to achieve when we buy these yearlings at the sales 12 months earlier.” - NZME

In brief

Cup challenge on the line By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

If Mid Canterbury’s senior cricketers are to stand a chance of challenging for the Hawke Cup this season, they must beat Otago Country in Ashburton this weekend. After a rained-out game and a draw with current Hawke Cup holders Southland, Mid Canterbury’s season comes down to the final two games – this weekend’s against Otago Country, and next weekend’s against North Otago in Oamaru. Mid Canterbury coach Garfield Charles said the equation is simple. The first thing they have to do is beat Otago Country, the side which has proven to be the frontrunner in their zone this season so far. “The bottom line is if we win first innings in the next two games and not lose outright, we’ll get the challenge,” Charles said. “If we don’t get any points out of this game, unless it’s a rainedout game, I think we will miss the boat. “Both games are important, but this one we definitely can’t afford to drop.” The game will be played at the Ashburton Domain oval, on a pitch that a lot of work had been put into over the winter months. “It will help that we are playing at home, because our pitch would probably be more suitable to, I suppose, helping the bowlers than playing in Alexandra, or what we had in Southland,” Charles said. Mid Canterbury will be missing one key link in their chain this weekend, with Des Kruger out due to an important prior commitment – his wedding. Kruger has been Mid Canterbury’s top batsman so far this season, producing a string of high scores. One player who is returning to the fold though, after missing the Southland game, will be the side’s wicketkeeper and captain, Matt Winter. “As far as keeping goes, it gives us a bit of an edge, and Cameron Jopson batted well enough in the last game to retain his spot,” Charles said. “Replacing Des will be tough,

Maxwell not done yet Glenn Maxwell remains committed to pushing for an Ashes recall despite selectors encouraging him to focus on his white-ball cricket ahead of the ODI World Cup. The explosive Victorian, overlooked for the upcoming two-test series against Sri Lanka, believes he still has a pathway back to the test team before Australia’s Ashes opener in August. “I’ve taken it out of their (selectors) hands and signed with a County (side) early so at least I can give myself some sort of red-ball cricket,” he said. - AAP

No bad blood – Bancroft Cameron Bancroft looks forward to the day he can open the batting alongside David Warner again, insisting there is no bad blood between the pair after he accused the former test vice-captain of leading him astray in Cape Town. Bancroft’s cricketing rehabilitation continued on Wednesday night when he scored 59 to lead Perth Scorchers to a six-wicket BBL win over Melbourne Stars at the MCG. It was a welcome return to form for Bancroft, who was widely pilloried for a Boxing Day interview he conducted with Fox Sports suggesting he “didn’t know any better” when asked by Warner to interfere with the ball. - AAP

Pucovski test bolter

Matt Winter is back in the wicketkeeping role for Mid Canterbury. but Archie Redfern comes in and he’s been playing a lot of cricket and is in a rich vein of form.” Redfern is still an under-17 player and a former Mid Canterbury Under-17 captain, who went on to make the Canterbury Under-17 team before being called up to the Canterbury Under-19 team. This weekend’s game will be his Hawke Cup debut. To beat Otago Country, Mid Canterbury simply has to do everything well, Charles said. “The formula for winning is scoring a lot of runs and bowling them out for less, or if we bowl

first knocking them over and then getting their total,” Charles said. Mid Canterbury has depth when it comes to bowling this season. Charles said they’ve actually had some selection headaches. “We’ve had to leave Shaun Stagg out because of the balance of the team. “We have an abundance of quality seam bowlers and this week Will Graham was unavailable. “If he had been available it would have made the decisions even harder,” Charles said.

But Charles is confident he’s got the side that can win this weekend, and give them a shot at a rare Hawke Cup challenge, if they can beat North Otago next weekend. This weekend’s two-day game between Mid Canterbury and Otago Country at the Ashburton Domain oval will start at 10.30am tomorrow morning. The Mid Canterbury side is: Matt Winter (C), Deon Biggs, Nick Gilbert, Alex Hooper, Jay Houston, Cameron Jopson, Archie Redfern, James Southby, William Southby, Matt Tait, Richard Turpie.

Batting prodigy Will Pucovski is confident he’s equipped for the rigours of test cricket, having earned a shock Australian call-up after seeking treatment for a mental health issue. Pucovski, 20, has been named in Australia’s 13-man squad for the two-test series against Sri Lanka in a stunning ascent after just eight first-class games. The Victorian has been on national selectors’ radar since he plundered 650 runs at 162.50 in the national under-19 championships. - AAP

Drop-in pitch unused International cricket won’t be played on McLean Park’s new drop-in pitch before November this year, despite already being in place and it being more than two years after arriving in Napier. It means two internationals later this month will both be played on the standard cricket block in the oval. A drop-in tray has otherwise been installed since last year’s drainage replacement and returfing project which was completed five months ago. The drop-in pitch, will be tested in a four-day Plunket Shield match on March 1-4. - NZME

Counterfeit ticket warning India not complacent New Zealand Cricket is warning fans not to be caught out by fake ticket outlets selling counterfeit and fake tickets for international cricket games. Controversial online reseller site Viagogo has already scalped several fans wanting to attend this summer’s international fixtures. New Zealand Cricket (NZC) general manager for venues, facilities and events Graham Parks said Ticketek is the only authorised ticket seller. “The best way to avoid that is to buy through the authorised agent,” he said. “It’s already been brought to our attention that there are counterfeit tickets being sold

on the Viagogo site for highly inflated prices – as much as $90 per ticket. “The last thing NZC wants to see is cricket fans being ripped off and disappointed by unscrupulous resellers.” Following last summer when adults purchased children’s tickets under the belief they would be admitted is something NZC will keep an eagle eye on this year. Parks said to be wary of people selling full adult tickets for bargain prices, and to beware of scammers as well. Today the Black Caps take on Sri Lanka in the only Twenty20 international of the 201819 tour of New Zealand at Eden Park.

India’s vice-captain Rohit Sharma insists Australia are still a quality ODI side and won’t be a walkover, despite resting their premier paceman and a dreadful recent record in the format. Quicks Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc have all been rested from the three-match series that starts tomorrow at the SCG. Of that trio, only Hazlewood played in the last ODI series against India in Australia in 2016 and he participated in only the first of the five games. “We were still beaten 4-1,” Sharma said.

“Of course those three are their premier bowlers but they have got the guys who can do the job for them. “Their bowling lineup can put us under pressure without a doubt. ‘“It’s not going to be an easy walkover situation for us. “We’ve got to grind it out there, face the challenge and make sure that we put them under pressure. “Of course the team is high on confidence right now, so we’ve got to carry that into this format as well and make sure that we keep doing the right things.” - AAP

■ CRICKET

Primary boys into final Mid Canterbury’s primary cricketers secured themselves a spot in the South Island Primary Schools’ Tournament’s shield section final in Oamaru by beating Marlborough yesterday. The win put them into today’s final against Christchurch Metro Black, a side they lost to in the tournament’s opening Twenty20 (T20) rounds, giving the young Mid Canterbury lads a shot at revenge. In a change from the traditional format, the South Island primary tournament started with three days of T20 action before moving to the 40-over format for the finals, and Mid Canterbury

was seventh after the shorter version matches, putting them into the shield section semi-final against Marlborough. Yesterday’s win over Marlborough was a convincing one, with Mid Canterbury winning the toss and electing to bat first. They made it through to 174 all out off 39 overs with Lachie Jemmett top-scoring with 62, before rolling Marlborough for 80. On Wednesday, Mid Canterbury finished the T20 round robin with a win over South Canterbury in the morning before losing to the tournament’s top qualifier, Christchurch Metro Red, in the afternoon.

A win and a loss on day two meant Mid Canterbury had been sitting in sixth position heading into the final day of round robin matches, with Jemmett’s superb tournament with the bat resulting in him topping the batting table with four rounds gone. Day two was when Mid Canterbury lost to their opponents in today’s shield final – Christchurch Metro Black – by six wickets, but they also picked up a win over the West Coast. On day one Mid Canterbury had started with a loss to Canterbury Country, but the Mid Canterbury boys almost produced an upset to open their account.

Batting first against Country, Mid Canterbury scored 58/7 but that looked like it could have been enough with Country struggling at 35/5, but eventually Country got there, finishing 62/6. They picked up a win in their second match of the tournament though, beating hosts North Otago convincingly after a top batting display. Mid Canterbury made 199/7 off their 20 overs, with Jemmett on fire, retiring for 85 off just 37 deliveries. North Otago did put up a fight early on, but were eventually dismissed for 109 in the final over, well shy of the target.

Cameron Smith didn’t need to convince Melbourne he had two seasons left in him and didn’t give the NRL club an ultimatum. The skipper said the protracted five-month negotiations had been a result of a long holiday and telling the Storm they should focus on retaining younger stars such as Cameron Munster. The 35-year-old returned this week to training after a threemonth break and signed a deal to take him into the 2020 season. It will also result in him becoming the first NRL player to crack the magical 400-game mark. - AAP

Spieth ‘surprised’ Jordan Spieth accepts there’ll be plenty of interest if he ends up battling it out with Patrick Reed in the final round of this week’s Sony Open in Hawaii but he doesn’t expect any awkwardness. The two American stars are playing in the same tournament for the first time since Reed blamed Spieth for them not being paired in last year’s Ryder Cup despite having enjoyed success together previously. “The issue is obviously with Jordan not wanting to play with me,” Reed had said. - PA

Southee charges in to defend Eden Park Black Caps bowler Tim Southee is full of praise for Eden Park ahead of today’s T20 match against Sri Lanka at the struggling stadium. “We enjoy playing here ... it’s always good fun to come to Eden Park,” Southee said yesterday. He was commenting on a report by consultants EY that Eden Park is facing an uncertain future as mounting financial pressures put at risk its ability to host All Black tests, international cricket and other major events. The report paints a bleak financial outlook for the city’s major stadium, saying revenue is falling and there is no money for new turf, floodlights and big video

screens needed for big occasions. The situation is so bad a senior council source told the Herald that Eden Park is referred to internally as being bankrupt. Southee said over the years he had played a number of test and short form matches at Eden Park. “Most of the time when cricket’s played here it’s usually an exciting encounter,” said Southee, who is stand-in skipper for today’s clash. NZ Cricket yesterday confirmed the Eden Park Trust had not communicated their financial predicament to the national body. When asked if the trust’s inability to pay for the stadium’s upkeep could impact on international fix-

tures being allocated to Eden Park in the future, a NZ Cricket spokesman pointed out that the ground would host just two of the 43 days of international cricket held in New Zealand this summer. Today’s T20 between the Black Caps and Sri Lanka, and the second T20 clash against India on February 8, are the only international matches to be played at Eden Park this season. The Blues Super Rugby franchise, Auckland Cricket and the Auckland Rugby Union have not responded to requests to comment on the EY report. New Zealand Rugby chief operating officer Nicki Nicol said the

organisation was “aware of the model that the stadium operates on” but hadn’t seen the report. “Eden Park is New Zealand’s biggest venue and we are committed to playing at Eden Park,” Nicol said. The Eden Park Trust is not commenting on the report while a number of conversations go on, a spokeswoman said. The trust, made up of two representatives each from Auckland Cricket and the Auckland Rugby Union and five independent trustees appointed by the Government, is responsible for the park’s finances. Mayor Phil Goff said the board

has been invited to appear before councillors early this year to see what, if anything, council can do. Sources have told the Herald there is an impasse between council and the trust board, with the board believed to be seeking a bailout from council or the Government and council seeking changes to the current model. “This is a crux meeting,” a party to the meeting said yesterday. Other problems plaguing the park have been the poor performance of the Blues rugby franchise, falling membership numbers, corporate boxes not being renewed and restrictions on evening events and concerts at Eden Park.- NZME

Tough tourney for seeds Second seed Fabio Fognini has crashed out of the ASB Classic in lifeless fashion. The world number 13 was dispatched 6-3 6-1 in just 65 minutes by Philipp Kohlschreiber, continuing the trend of top seeds tumbling out of the Auckland event. The first confirmed semi-final will be an unseeded battle, with Kohlschreiber comfortably advancing to take on American Tennys Sandgren today. Fognini put in an apathetic display on centre court, with lacklustre movement around the court as Kohlschreiber made the semi-finals for the fifth time in Auckland. Champion in Auckland in 2008 and finalist in 2013, Kohlschreiber hadn’t visited the tournament since 2016, but has now added another deep run to his resume. His 28th victory in Auckland was surprisingly easy. While the inconsistent Fognini was a $2.60 outsider for the clash, Kohlschreiber was hardly troubled, breaking early in both sets as Fognini’s stand-and-deliver approach resulted in more errors than winners. His powerful, whippy forehand was less successful than in his inconsistent three-set victory Wednesday over Peter Gojowczyk, and he was terrible on serve, hitting seven double faults to no aces, and only getting 52 per cent of his first serves in play. The second set was even worse than the first, as the German veteran wrapped up a remarkably easy victory. Kohlschreiber witnessed the emotional scenes at the Classic on Wednesday night when David Fer-

rer broke down early in his match against Pablo Carreno Busta. The four-time Classic champion twice tried to play on, before succumbing to his leg injury. There was barely a dry eye in the house as this played out and Kohlschreiber said he also found it emotional. “I got goose bumps,” he said. “First you see him getting this injury and you knew it wasn’t looking good. It was a very sad moment, but in the end, standing there and also cheering for David. “He’s a great character on the tour, he’s an idol for so many younger and older generations, the spirit he gave on the court, it’s one of a kind.” Kohlschreiber will play against American Tennys Sandgren in the first semi-final today. Sandgren beat Leonardo Mayer from Argentina 6-3 7-6 in the first match on Centre Court yesterday. Auckland-raised Cameron Norrie is also through to the semi-finals, having defeated American Taylor Townsend 7-6 6-3. Meanwhile Rubin Statham ran out of magic at the ASB Classic. The Kiwi number one is out of the Auckland tournament, losing 6-2 6-1 to German world number 58 Jan-Lennard Struff. It was always going to be a big ask for Statham to repeat his first round heroics, where he stunned world number 25 and 2018 Australian Open semi-finalist Hyeon Chung in straight sets. It was the performance of his life, but the world number 360 didn’t have a second shock left, as Struff advanced to play fourth seed Pablo Cameron Norrie beat Taylor Townsend to advance.

Tomic wins brat battle Nick Kyrgios is predicting Bernard Tomic will go deep into the Australian Open after the polarising pair’s first-ever match at the Kooyong Classic. Tomic won the first battle of the tennis brats 6-3 6-4, although with little at stake it was difficult to get a read on their true form heading into the first major of the year. Tomic claimed match point when he dished up a bizarre trick serve. While bouncing a ball in the preparation for a regular serve Tomic flicked another ball between his legs that landed over the net to win the match, leaving Kyrgios laughing and shaking his head. - AAP

Barty hits top form Ashleigh Barty is embracing the hype after sending her Australian Open hopes soaring with a straight-sets dispatch of the world No.1 Simona Halep to surge into the Sydney International quarterfinals.

With niggling injuries pushing his world ranking outside the top 100, Kokkinakis has been made to earn his meal ticket by qualifying for the year’s first major. “I don’t want to join them. I want to do it my own way and be higher than them,” he said of his fellow Aussies. - AAP

Australian motorcyclist Toby Price remains in a holding pattern in fifth overall, though his chances of winning a second Dakar Rally in Peru could be enhanced by the race-ending misfortune of a leading rival. Yesterday leader Joan Barreda had to withdraw for the second straight year after his Honda became stranded in a basin early in the timed portion of the third stage from San Juan de Marcona to Arequipa. The Spaniard, who was one of the pre-race favourites, had to be pulled out by helicopter after he crashed and became stuck. The new leader is Chilean Pablo Quintanilla (Husqvarna) who has an 11 min 23 sec buffer over Honda’s leading hope Kevin Benavides (Argentina). - AP

Cryptic crossword

Friday, January 11, 2019

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Only a fool would go looking for trouble. However, when trouble comes with the territory, dive right in. Employ your emotional and spiritual facilities like faith, courage and passion. Left unused, they will diminish. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): In the past, there were vast stretches of unspoiled, unknown land to explore. Now all the unknown territories are in the land of ideas. You’re an adventurer, prepared to discover something there today. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Prime yourself with positive self-talk before the main actions of the day. Decide how you want things to play out, and then psych yourself into the frame of mind that will make it go that way. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): In families, everyone takes a role. Those roles create a unit. It’s like you become who you need to be to make that unit function. And it doesn’t always fit your idea of who you would like to be or who you are. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): There’s a spirit of independence taking hold in you, and you’d really like to see what you can accomplish on your own before you seek advice or partnership. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Because you know how to laugh at life, you don’t get stressed over the same things that make other people so nervous. It’s beautiful to be around, and it’s the quality that will put you in a unique position today. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Knowing that people see in others what they recognise in themselves, you will very carefully choose what you call out in others, as well as what you praise and compliment. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): When you enter a room, the energy of the room changes as everyone gets a sample of what you bring in. You can hide what you feel, and others might consciously miss it, but unconsciously they cannot help but sample it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): While some strive to be well-liked, others are afraid of coming into favour. It can be uncomfortable to be liked, as it can come with expectations and more attention than some people want to receive. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Pretending is an important part of development. It’s how people learn. So while pretentiousness gets a bad rap, it’s part of the process, and utterly forgivable. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You embrace responsibility. The essence of this is ownership. It claims things, relationships and other situations and says “mine,” mine to figure out, care for, take pleasure in; mine to lose or keep. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): “As you sow, so shall you reap.” The trouble is that many seeds look alike. This is true figuratively and literally. Plant what you have and hope for the best.

Ashburton’s Kate Lloyd and her Mainland Tactix netball team mates will play a pre-season double-header in Ashburton next month.

Top netball on our courts BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury netball fans are in for a treat next month, with the Mainland Tactix confirming they’re bringing a pre-season double-header to Ashburton. The two matches against the Southern Steel at the EA Networks Centre will be the first time the Tactix have played in Ashburton and Mid Canterbury Netball president Karla Newlands said it’s great news for the region. “It is exciting to have our top zone team the Tactix playing for the first time in Ashburton. “These games will help to lift

the profile of netball in Mid Canterbury prior to the season,” Newlands said. “It is good exposure for the game and will get local netballers right behind the Tactix for 2019.” The Tactix and the defending ANZ Premiership champion Steel side will spend two days in Ashburton, playing pre-season games against each other on both Saturday February 2 and Sunday February 3. They will be joined by the national Beko Netball League sides from both regions, and they will also do battle on both days. Players will also take time out

from their weekend in Ashburton to run a coaching session with local kids aged from Year 5 to Year 10 on the Saturday morning and registration for that session will be done through Mid Canterbury Netball. Among those set to take to the court in the weekend’s main matches will be Ashburton’s own Kate Lloyd, a former Ashburton College student who has re-joined the Tactix for the 2019 season after spending a year in Hamilton playing for the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Magic. “With the return of our own Kate Lloyd to the team it makes

this even more of a special occasion,” Newlands said. Mid Canterbury hosted some top-level netball last season when the Mainland Beko team played two of their matches at the EA Networks Centre. The national Beko Netball League is a tier below the ANZ premiership which teams including the Tactix and Steel compete in. “These games were well supported by the community, so we look forward to Mid Canterbury getting well behind the Tactix,” Newlands said. Tickets for the February games will be available at the door. Un-

der-16s will get in for free, while tickets for adults will cost $5 per day. Admission will cover both the Tactix and Mainland Beko side’s game. The Saturday game between the Tactix and the Steel will hit the court at 2pm and the Sunday game will get under way at 10am. The Beko sides will play at 4pm on the Saturday and midday on the Sunday. The games will be a vital piece of the pre-season puzzle for both the Tactix and Steel as they prepare for the 2019 ANZ Premiership which will get under way on February 24.
