SHARPLIN FALLS

Iconic walkway may reopen

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Mt Somers Walkway Society members are mapping a new route to Sharplin Falls and plan to reopen the iconic Mid Canterbury attraction to the public.

The Sharplin Falls Track is a

short walk at Staveley which has the scenic waterfalls as its destination. It closed permanently four years ago due to earthquake-triggered rock-falls.

Society members have been discussing their plans with the Department of Conservation.

They do not yet wish to make any of the details public, saying they are at a sensitive stage of planning as they have yet to submit their final design to the department for approval.

Department of Conservation operations manager Duncan Too-

good, in the Geraldine District Office, said the department would be giving consideration to the plans when they were submitted.

“We are aware of the society’s plan and have been in discussion with them, but have yet to see a final proposal,” Toogood said.

There were various considerations that the department would need to make with such a proposal.

Government minister visits principals, firies

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

NZ First MP and government minister Tracey Martin completed a whirlwind tour of Mid Canterbury yesterday, meeting with principals and local firefighters.

Martin, who is the Minister for Seniors, Children and Internal Affairs, and Associate Minister of Education, was in the town for several hours as she made her way south from Christchurch to Dunedin.

The minister met with the teachers after arriving from Christchurch in the morning.

She shared a lunch with several local principals and said it was a good meeting.

“I understand the challenges they are facing and they understand the challenges that we face.

“I am hoping to be able to come down and spend a day or half a day with the principals here and go through the areas of concern that are assigned to me (as associate education minister).”

Martin said those at the top need to be able to understand what the people they are making the decisions for are going through, which is why she is looking at spending more time in the district.

Following that, she toured the Ashburton Fire Station, chatting

“It always impresses me the commitment of the volunteer firefighters, especially in places like this which is the fourth busiest station,” she said.

Martin, who announced last

month a $4 million package to support volunteers within the FENZ organisation, said it was always interesting to talk with firefighters around the country, with a big focus on mental health and diversity within the organisation.

“There are no women in the brigade here, so we as an organisation need to be aware of it and for FENZ to work on it and get the image out there,” she said.

“It is nothing against these guys, we just need to look at it as an organisation and how we can change that.”

Following her visit to the Ashburton Fire Station, Martin carried on south with Labour List MP Jo Luxton to the Hinds Fire Station, before attending a speaking engagement in Timaru.

Today, Martin will speak at the School Trustees Conference in Dunedin.

Iconic walkway may reopen From P1 “These are the environmental impacts of a new track, safety for users of the track, how the new track will be maintained – particularly who funds the maintenance cost and whether it is permissible under relevant legislation and policy,” Toogood said.

In terms of funding, the department had already contributed some staff time to provide advice and technical expertise to the society, but did not have funding available for the construction or ongoing maintenance of the proposed new track.

The Sharplin Falls Track begins in the Sharplin Falls carpark, near the Staveley ice rinks. The carpark is a popular picnic spot and the start of a number of day walks and multi-day tramps through to the Mt Somers area.

The former track was a 45-minute walk through beech forest, alongside Bowyers Stream. The falls drop several metres over the Mt Somers southern fault system and were named after an early Staveley sawyer.

It was a highly popular track until its closure, with thousands walking it each year.

Diet drink gives positive drugs test

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Using a diet supplement, particularly one sourced online from an overseas supplier, could result in a job applicant failing a drugs test, warns an Ashburton workplace health and safety consultant.

Compliance Partners principal adviser Jane Fowles said a recent positive screening result provided evidence that amphetamine-type substances were being imported into New Zealand without detection.

An overseas female candidate was screened as part of pre-employment protocol and returned a not-negative drug test result

RE-ELECT

suggesting amphetamines were in her system, Fowles said.

“The candidate said she was not a drug user and was certain the result was incorrect. She was surprised she’d failed and said she’d always been cautious about any involvement with drugs because of the stance in her home country.”

Because it was her practice to give someone an opportunity to explain how they could have returned a positive test, rather to simply say they had failed, Fowles asked the woman if she could come up with a reason or cause.

The woman suggested her “special coffee” may have been

a contributing factor. She had been consuming Valentus branded SlimROAST coffee purchased online and provided Compliance Partners with a sample. This was sent to a laboratory for testing.

The results were clear – there were two ingredients of interest in the material. The first, beta-phenethylamine, is a controlled substance and should not be present in New Zealand products. It is an amphetamine-type substance structurally related to psychoactive drugs.

The second ingredient was DMAA which is banned in New Zealand under the Psychoactive Substances Act, 2013. It is also

banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency and Drug Free Sport NZ. That this product was found in a something sold as a “normal” food was a real concern, Fowles said, as it had been linked to multiple deaths around the world following its use in exercise supplements.

“And it’s a real concern that the guy at the lab said that DMMA had been responsible for some pretty unwell people going into Christchurch Hospital recently.”

The diet coffee incident should be sounding a warning on several levels, she said, as it showed how easily a banned substance could escape detection when it was an

ingredient in a food product.

“It’s like speed-laced coffee and that’s a pretty big concern to us as a drug tester. I’d urge anyone using a diet supplement, pill or powder to ensure they are fully aware of the active ingredients, not only for workplace drug testing but also for the safety of their own general health,” she said.

The positive result sparked by diet coffee was a first for her team and had come as quite a surprise, Fowles said, “Incidents like this are a real concern for a candidate searching for a job, especially if they’re bound by compliant behaviour relating to a work visa.”

Old school chums ride the Rhine

By Linda Clarke

linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Five former Ashburton College friends are teaming up to ride 1400km along the banks of the Rhine river to celebrate their 60th birthdays.

The 16-day trip starts in the Swiss Alps at the source of the river and finishes in the Netherlands, where the river empties into the North Sea. The students, who went to college in the 1970s, include Ashburton couple Alan and Jenny Dowdle, Christchurch couple John and Ruth Gamblin (John is Jenny’s brother) and Invercargill man Peter Gallagher. Peter’s sister Anne, who did not go to college, will also join the cycle party, which leaves for Europe at the end of the month.

Jenny said the group had remained firm friends since their school days 45 years ago. The five went to Ashburton College but also were connected through the Ashburton Intermediate, where Peter’s father and John and Jenny’s father were teachers.

Five years ago they began talking about ways to mark the 60th birthdays of Alan, John and Peter and, as cycling enthusiasts, they eventually decided on the Velo15, an organised cycle tour along the

length of the Rhine.

There are 14 cycle days, with some of the legs up to 125km.

Jenny said the group had taken part in the Grape Ride last year and had a lot of fun. They were looking forward to cycling through four countries – Switzerland, Germany, France and the Netherlands – and sampling the local foods and cultures on this trip.

The tour company has organised their accommodation and will carry their large bags. The cyclists will wear day packs.

Jenny said Europe had been baking in a heatwave recently, with temperatures of up to 40ºC and she was hoping for cooler temperatures.

While she is fit, she is the least experienced cyclist in the group and is not looking forward to a “screaming descent” in the first stage. The Ashburton couple are taking hybrid bikes (a road bike/ mountainbike cross) for the journey, which is mostly on sealed pathways.

“It will be a really good social time and a great way to see the different countries.”

Peter said the close friends might now live in different towns, but they still got together to hang out regularly. Jenny now works at the college where they met.

Forty-five years after meeting in Ashburton (from left) Alan Dowdle, Ruth Gamblin, John Gamblin, Peter Gallagher and Jenny Dowdle are coming together for a cycling tour.

Statues on green have a safe home

anniversary of service to the community. Their installation was also timed to recognise the new millennium.

Members of the group worked with the Ashburton District Council to identify a site and the green opposite Baring Square east was chosen.

Now, Altrusa members are concerned that future plans for the revitalisation of the town’s CBD and Baring Square east could impact on the twin sculptures.

Begg has written to Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel and to chief

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

With Ashburton’s town centre water feature tagged for possible removal, members of Altrusa International are now worried about the fate of two East Street Green sculptures they gave to the community 20 years ago.

Group vice president Kay Begg said the Spirit of Women sculptures were commissioned by the Diane Rawlinson club to recognise its 25th

executive Hamish Riach voicing the group’s concerns and making it clear that any attempts to move the pair would come with a high risk of either destroying or damaging the pieces.

Members had fundraised to cover the cost of the sculptures which were carved by Russell Menary out of Mt Somers stone. Their size and weight meant that a crane was needed to lift them into place.

While pollution and debris from surrounding trees had affected the pieces over the years, they were periodically cleaned by members

who had a strong sense of ownership, she said.

Town centre working group chairwoman Diane Rawlinson confirmed that the stretch of green housing the sculptures was not included in the town centre plan. Neither is it currently part of the revitalisation plan for Baring Square.

Rawlinson said that if any changes were planned in the future that did involve the statues, there would need to be discussions with Altrusa as donors of the pieces.

Celebrations set to continue Celebrations for this year’s 25th anniversary Ruralco In-store Days are set to continue well into July, with winners from the co-op’s Big Draw due to be announced later this month.

The Big Draw sees a prize pool of more than $250,000 worth of prizes up for grabs with Ruralco members reaping the rewards of a highly successful 25th anniversary campaign.

“We have been truly humbled by the support shown by our suppliers through their sponsorship of this prize draw,” said Ruralco Group CEO, Robert Sharkie.

“We knew we wanted to make our 25th anniversary a memorable occasion and achieving a $250,000 draw with such a wonderful range of prizes has been fantastic and has certainly added to the strength of our In-store Days this year.”

It’s a sentiment echoed by Ruralco chairman, Alister Body.

“There was certainly a lot of interest in the Big Draw and it created a real buzz and plenty of excitement. It really added to the occasion,” he said.

Among the major prizes in the Big Draw are a Mustang car, a Dominator boat, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, a hot tub, jet-ski, and home appliances.

In-store Days was held last

In brief Specsavers coming In mid August, a new option in eye care will arrive in Ashburton when Specsavers establishes a business in the Tavendale building on Cass Street. A team of seven, two with a collective 16 years experience in optical care will be offering appointments. The new store will also offer diagnostics using an OCT diagnostic scanning device that takes 3D images of the eye to help detect a range of diseases including glaucoma and diabetes.

Cycle track dumpers The Ashburton District Council is following up the discovery of a load of household rubbish dumped illegally on the Ashburton River cycle track. The rubbish has been collected and names have been found on some of the material it contains.

Turnover through the store, farm supplies, fertiliser and seed sales were almost double on the previous year.

“It’s testament to the support of all of our members, suppliers and retailers. This year we had

exceptional numbers in attendance and in sales, which we are all extremely proud of,” Sharkie said.

Opening day saw queues lined up outside Ruralco’s Gift and Homeware Store ready to snap up the pre-advertised specials and there was a steady stream of members through the back shop and the big marquee in the

carpark for the remainder of the event.

Once again, the event was at full capacity with over 100 site holders taking part.

Ruralco recognised their partners and suppliers who have been part of the In-store Days campaign – some since the very beginning, many for over 10 years.

A man has been charged with assaulting an 8-month-old baby following an incident on Wednesday night in Ponsonby.

The 42-year-old man appeared in the Auckland District Court yesterday charged with a number of offences, including wounding with intent to injure and assault on a child. He was also charged with driving in a dangerous manner, assault on police, two times resisting police and refusing to accompany an officer.

Radio return lifts Barnetts

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Returning to radio has been a great experience, not just for himself, but also wife Jodi, says Simon Barnett.

The celebrity host, originally from Ashburton, has been out of the broadcasting studio for more than a year following Jodi suffering a seizure and requiring surgery and treatment for brain lesions.

“It’s been a pretty torrid year with my wife’s health,” the 52-year-old said.

“We are getting through it, we are convinced she’s going to get through it.”

He had been by Jodi’s side for 14 months at their Christchurch home, and had not really left her at all.

“That was probably the biggest hurdle for me, just being apart from her,” Barnett said of his return last week to radio.

He is broadcasting from Newstalk ZB’s Christchurch studio, alongside his former co-host Phil Gifford in the afternoon slot, midday to 4pm Tuesday

Ashburton Guardian

Simon Barnett and Phil Gifford have left their days of radio hijinx behind, and are now discussing the issues that matter to New Zealanders, on Newstalk ZB. PHOTO SUPPLIED to Friday. Barnett said Jodi was getting stronger but still not at the stage of being left on her own, and other family members were at home with her while he worked each afternoon.

Barnett said Jodi listened every day, barely missing a single minute of their show.

And if she was not at home, such as the other day when she was in the supermarket with their daughter, she would still be listening, through earphones.

“She’s enjoying me being back on air and really loving it,” Barnett said.

“She’s always just been such

a massive support in my life, I would not be the man I am and certainly would not achieve anything like the success I have, if it wasn’t for Jodi,” he said.

And it was fantastic to be working back alongside Gifford, who had moved from Auckland to Christchurch to do the show.

The pair joined More FM in 1997, coming there from 91ZM. They built up a loyal base of fans, entertained by their hijinx and banter.

For Barnett and Gifford it is a completely different role this time round on talk radio. The ZB mission is to discuss and debate the issues that matter to New Zealanders.

It’s news-based, because that is what people are talking about, but not news-heavy or adversarial, Barnett said.

And Barnett is enjoying not having to get up at 4.30am, as he had to do for almost three decades in breakfast radio.

“Every single second was precious at that hour of the morning, you were really pushed for time,” Barnett said.

The first firearms collection event for firearms that have now been made illegal under firearm law changes following the Christchurch Terror Attack is set to take place at Riccarton Racecourse this Saturday and Sunday.

This is one of 258 events that will run across the country over the next three months.

The first event in Mid Canterbury will be held in Ashburton on July 27 at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre between 10am and 3pm.

Deputy Commissioner Mike Clement says Police recognise this is a big change for the law abiding firearms community.

“We want to work with firearms owners to make this process as seamless as possible during the buy-back and amnesty period,” he said.

“It’s about doing the right thing for the safety of all New Zealand.”

Safety is crucial at the events, Clement said, and police are asking people to ensure they’ve cleared their firearms of all ammunition and placed them, and any parts, in a safe carry bag.

To speed up the process at events, owners need to complete the online form on the police website, www.police.govt.nz, before coming to an event – including listing each firearm and/or each individual part you are bringing along.

If the firearm can be modified to make it non-prohibited, or you may have a unique, collectable firearm, police also ask for the person to visit the website for more information before attending a collection event.

An updated price list and a video showing how the collection events work is live on the police website.

The only other collection events that have been announced for Mid Canterbury are set to be held in Rakaia on August 3 and 10, and September 28 at the Rakaia Community Hall.

■■WALES V NEW ZEALAND

Battle on for steepest street The leader of a Welsh bid to snatch the title of world’s steepest street from Dunedin’s Baldwin Street is worried the lack of documents on the construction of the 1000-yearold road will thwart them.

The wait is almost over to find out if the bid to give the steepest street crown to Ffordd Pen Llech in the small town of Harlech will succeed or not.

Guinness World Records has been considering the request for some time and a decision is expected next week.

Gwyn Headley has been leading the campaign in Wales and told Morning Report it’s nerve-wracking. An incident a year ago prompted him to start the campaign.

“I have a 4WD car with anti-lock brakes – I got about halfway down [Ffordd Pen Llech] and the car slid forward about six feet with all the wheels locked and I thought: ‘This is very steep’ ... So I went on to Wikipedia and looked it up and it said it was the steepest street in the UK. “So that piqued my curiosity and I looked up the steepest street in the world and found it was

yours in Dunedin.”

However, when Headley compared the figures for the two streets it showed the Welsh one was steeper so he got in in touch with Guinness.

“You would not believe the bureaucracy, the work, the time. They [Guinness] want 10 parameters.

“We’ve supplied them with nine of the 10 parameters. I’m very nervous about one of them because one of the parameters is they want a blueprint of the building of the street.

“Our street was built over 1000 years ago – since time immemorial – they didn’t have blueprints in 979AD so I’m wondering if this is the reason [for the lengthy process]?”

Baldwin Street has a 35 per cent gradient. “We know our street is 37.4 per cent; it is absolutely irrefutably steeper but we haven’t got a blueprint. If that’s the killer, then it’s the killer, what can I say?”

He said although Harlech has a lot going for it, including a 13th century castle and a song Men in Harlech, the steepest street title would mean a lot for its 2000 residents.

Dunedin’s Baldwin Street (left), is being challenged as the world’s steepest street by residents of a Welsh town who claim Ffordd Pen Llech is steeper.

‘Bad Santa’ burglar jailed for stealing Christmas presents A brazen burglar who stole Christmas presents from a solo mother and re-gifted them to his own family has been sent to prison for his foul festive offending.

And his legal team tried to prevent his image being published, saying it would be “publicly humiliating” to the thief and “contribute to his punishment”.

In December, Vashni Seleni Ulufale, 23, was arrested and charged with burglary following a police investigation dubbed Operation Bad Santa.

Eleven days before Christmas, Ulufale broke into the Hillcrest home of solo mother Angela while she was at work and her son at daycare.

He stole a swathe of property including her television, iPad, jewellery, alcohol and Christmas presents from under the tree, including a new bike for her son.

Days later, after Angela alerted police to the thief trying to sell off some of her things online, officers executed a search warrant at Ulufale’s South Auckland home.

As his partner and children watched on, police officers unwrapped all the presents under their Christmas tree to see if anything matched items taken from Angela.

At the house, police found the bike Angela had bought her son.

It had been removed from the box, constructed and gifted to the child by Ulufale.

Police later visited Angela and Ulufale’s partner to drop off a haul of presents for the children that had been donated.

Ulufale has been in custody since he first appeared in the North Shore District Court on Christmas Eve.

He was sentenced yesterday by Judge Josephine Bouchier, who blasted him for his crime.

“This was devastating for the family involved,” she said.

She read a letter of apology Ulufale had written to Angela.

The letter was not read aloud but Judge Bouchier accepted it was evidence of remorse.

“I certainly agree with the letter ... he accepts responsibility and has to own up for it,” she said.

“And that he wanted to provide for his own children but that was at the expense of others and that shouldn’t have been,” Submissions filed in court before sentencing revealed that Ulufale was “disowned” by his family following his arrest.

But his sister was in court to support him yesterday, along with his young son.

Judge Bouchier sentenced Ulufale to 16.5 months in jail, but granted leave for him to make an application to transfer the sentence to one of home detention if a suitable address was secured by his sister.

Angela did not attend court, but spoke to the Herald after Ulufale was sentenced.

“I am pleased it’s over,” she said.

“I’m just happy the police caught him – you hear the stats that people just don’t get caught,” she said.

“It’s also nice to know that you’re not going to get targeted again by the same person.”

Angela said she was yet to receive any letter from Ulufale.

She didn’t feel any hatred or anger towards him.

“I feel for the guy,” she said.

■■UNITED KINGDOM

Ambassador to US quits AP Britain’s ambassador to the United States resigned yesterday after being branded a fool and made a diplomatic nobody by President Donald Trump following the leak of the envoy’s unflattering opinions about the US administration.

Storm clouds gathered over the trans-Atlantic relationship as veteran diplomat Kim Darroch said he could no longer do his job in Washington after Trump cut off all contact with the representative of one of America’s closest allies.

The break in relations followed a British newspaper’s publication on Sunday of leaked documents that revealed the ambassador’s dim view of Trump’s administration, which Darroch described as dysfunctional, inept and chaotic.

“The current situation is making it impossible for me to carry out my role as I would like,” Darroch said in his resignation letter. He had been due to leave his post at the end of the year.

In the leaked documents, he called the Trump administration’s policy toward Iran “incoherent,” said the president might be indebted to “dodgy Russians” and raised doubts about whether the White House “will ever look competent”.

“We don’t really believe this

Swift tops Forbes list

British Ambassador to the United States Kim Darroch resigned yesterday, just days after diplomatic cables criticising President Donald Trump caused embarrassment to the two countries.

PHOTO AP administration is going to become substantially more normal; less dysfunctional; less unpredictable; less faction riven; less diplomatically clumsy and inept,” one missive said.

Prime Minister Theresa May and other British politicians praised Darroch, condemned the leak – and criticised Trump’s intemperate comments, if only implicitly.

Pointedly, however, Boris Johnson, considered the front-runner to replace May

as prime minister, did not defend the ambassador after Trump’s tirade. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, Johnson’s rival for the post, said it was “absolutely essential that when our diplomats do their job all over the world ... we defend them”.

“We had a fine diplomat who was just doing what he should have been doing – giving a frank assessment, a personal assessment of the political situation in the country

that he was posted (to) – and that’s why I defended him,” he told reporters. “And I think we all should.”

Hunt also criticised Trump’s verbal attacks on journalists.

“I wouldn’t use the language President Trump used, and I wouldn’t agree with it,” he said.

“We have to remember that what we say can have an impact in other countries where they can’t take press freedom for granted.”

Man dies, woman hurt in horror dog attack NZME A man has died in Melbourne after being mauled by a dog, while a woman was left with serious injuries.

The animal, thought to be an American staffordshire terrier, was the victim’s son’s pet.

Police opened fire at the dog to stop the attack but nonetheless it took several hours to finally capture the animal.

One witness said that during the attack, “the dog was

going nuts”. The incident occurred in Mill Park, in the city’s northeast, about 6.30pm on Wednesday night.

Victoria Police said they were called to an address on Ancona Drive after reports a man, in his 60s, had been attacked by a dog.

“Upon attending the address, officers located a deceased man and a woman with serious injuries,” the police said in a statement, according to news.com.au.

“Shots were fired by members to deter the dog from further attacking the woman and members and it was contained in the premises.”

A neighbour said he tried to spray the dog with water to distract it after he heard screams.

“There was no stopping it.

It’s a giant pit bull,” he said.

There are reports the deceased man had been recovering from an operation and was in a motorised wheelchair.

A neighbour said she would frequently chat with the victim at the supermarket.

“He’s been a very lovely person. We will miss him a lot, especially my husband. We love him,” she said.

A woman in her 60s was also injured in the mauling, police said. She was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital for treatment where she is thought to be in a stable condition with severe injuries to her upper body.

Dad forgot him: Son, 3, dies in hot car A 3-year-old boy was found dead inside a hot car on the campus of the University of Southern Indiana after his father reportedly forgot to drop him off at daycare.

Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s deputies said Oliver Dill was found unresponsive by his father, Dr Andrew Dill after he was left in a hot car for sever-

The Edinburgh Comedy Award winner has reason to be excited.

Taylor Swift has topped Forbes magazine’s list of the World’s HighestPaid Celebrities. The ME! hitmaker raked in an impressive $US185 million ($NZ279m), followed closely behind

al hours. Deputies responded to the father’s 911 call around 1.45pm Tuesday afternoon and attempted life-saving measures on Oliver, who was later pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities said Dill, who is an assistant professor of accounting at USI, forgot to drop Oliver off at the Children’s Learning Center on campus earlier that morning.

When the married, father-of-

two went to pick his son up, he realised Oliver was still in his car seat.

Temperatures reached nearly 32°C, making the temperature inside the vehicle between 40°C and 48°C by Tuesday afternoon. USI president Ronald S. Rochon issued a statement following Oliver’s death.

“Our deepest condolences go out to the family of this young child. This is a loss no

parent should bear.

“If you have a child in your life, please hug them tight and remember that counselling services are available if you need them.”

Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding said no arrests are being made at this time.

Authorities will submit the case file to the Vanderburgh County Prosecutor’s office for final review.

Building Code compliance standards available for free download

By Hon Jenny Salesa Minister for Building and Construction

The Government has announced over 120 standards used for Building Code compliance are now available to be accessed and downloaded for free, says Building and Construction Minister Jenny Salesa.

The announcement was made at Housing New Zealand’s Eveleyn Couzins development in Christchurch, which was attended by industry representatives and members of the community.

“I have listened to the building and construction sector, and professional groups who access these standards regularly, and to New Zealand’s homeowners. They want to do the right thing but say financial barriers make it hard – today I am making building compliance easier for all New Zealanders,” she said.

“In December 2017, five important building standards and a handbook were funded, and over 15,000 downloads have been made in the last 18 months. Sponsoring another 120 Standards puts New Zealand on the leader board as one of the few countries in the world offering free access to building standards.

“These building standards are ones which directly help demonstrate compliance with the New Zealand Building Code. They ensure our buildings and homes are safe and wellconstructed.

“They will help building professionals and homeowners with methods for designing and constructing timber framing in buildings and selecting appropriately treated timber used in building work. They will also help engineers with earthquake loads on buildings.

“Step by step we are dismantling road blocks in the building sector. The success of the pilot will now snowball as we fund these standards that directly help demonstrate compliance with the Building Code free for download.

“There is a cost to providing access

to standards. The Government wants to help people ‘do the right thing’ and comply more easily with the Building Code. I am delighted we have come up with a solution that acknowledges this cost of access, and removes this barrier for users,” said Salesa.

The available standards can be accessed through the Standards New Zealand website: www.standards.govt. nz/sponsored-standards/buildingstandards/ and indirectly through www. codehub.building.govt.nz and www. building.govt.nz Contact: Jordan Samuela 021 1903642 MBIE is using funds from the Building Levy to fund the free-to-download of the building standards.

The levy is collected when people apply for building consent, and is usually spent on sector administration, regulation, and enforcement of the Building Act. Some of the standards that help demonstrate compliance with the New Zealand Building Code are: • NZS 3604:2011 Timber-framed buildings. This is New Zealand’s

most sought after standard, which is key for building professionals and homeowners.

When read together with Acceptable Solution B1/AS1, it describes Code-compliant methods for designing and constructing timber framing in buildings.

• NZS 3602:2003 Timber and wood-based products for use in building and NZS 3640:2003 Chemical preservation of round and sawn timber are used to select appropriately treated timber used in building work.

• Another highly relevant standard for engineers, given recent events, is NZS 1170 Part 5:2004 Structural design actions - Part 5: Earthquake actions, which covers earthquake loads on buildings.

The pilot ‘free’ standards and a handbook made available in December 2017 were: • Design for access and mobility: Buildings and associated facilities (NZS 4121:2001) – provides solutions for making buildings

•

•

•

•

•

and facilities accessible to and usable by people with disabilities.

Housing, alterations and small buildings contract (NZS 3902:2004) – a plain English standard building contract.

Thermal insulation – housing and small buildings (NZS 4218:2009) – helps establish the levels of thermal insulation for houses and small buildings.

Interconnected smoke alarms for houses (NZS 4514:2009) – provides information about the placement and audibility of smoke alarms.

Safety barriers and fences around swimming pools, spas and hot tubs (NZS 8500:2006) – describes barriers for residential pools including ways to assess their strength.

Handbook on timber-framed buildings (selected extracts from NZS 3604:2011) – figures and tables to help design and construct timber-framed buildings up to three storeys high.

■■ Lamb: Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Rub lamb rumps with a little oil and season with freshly ground black pepper. Place in the frying pan and brown on both sides. Transfer lamb to a roasting dish, place

in the oven and roast for 10 minutes for medium-rare lamb. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with salt and cover loosely with foil and a clean tea towel and leave to rest for 10 minutes or more, while you finish cooking the vegetables.

■■ To serve: Wipe out the frying pan with kitchen paper. Add a dash of oil and garlic and cook over a low heat for about 1 minute. Add the almonds and raisins and cook for a further 1 minute.

Add the spinach leaves and allow to wilt, stirring continuously.

Stir in the mint leaves. Add the cooked kumara with its juices and stir well to combine and heat through. Slice the lamb rump across the grain and serve with the kumara and greens.

Bi-Turbo a tow-happy beast

T

here’s no substitute for cubic inches, so the saying goes.

Well the 2019 Ford Wildtrak Bi-Turbo tends to make a lie of that saying, and the new 157kW/500Nm Bi-Turbo diesel engine and ten-speed automatic passed the towing test with flying colours.

While the standard Ranger Wildtrak mirrors are a decent size, if you were towing a large boat or caravan on a regular basis you would probably want to fit extended-arm side view mirrors for an even better view of following vehicles.

At hook-up time, the rear camera is a godsend thanks to the grid lines which illuminate on the screen and allow you to align the tow ball perfectly with the trailer hitch.

Once the trailer is attached the grid lines disappear, which makes reversing the trailered boat onto a ramp or up a driveway much easier.

The electric power steering of the Wildtrak has enough sensitivity at the helm that you can precisely manoeuvre the trailer where it needs to be.

The diesel certainly notices a big load and needs a few more revs to get rolling but once under way the plentiful torque and close ratios mean progress is as smooth as you could want.

Hill starts are never a problem with this rig, thanks to the Wildtrak’s hill launch assist which automatically engages when a gradient is anything more than three degrees, preventing the vehicle from roll-

ing either forward or back.

The system will automatically engage when the driver presses the brake pedal, bringing the vehicle to a standstill, and the sensors detect that the vehicle is on a slope.

The Wildtrak’s active cruise control provides greater regulation of uphill and downhill speed and allows the driver to

Gluyas Motor Group 79 Kermode Street | (03) 307 5800 | www.gluyasford.nz

concentrate on ensuring the combination stays within the lane.

This outstanding feature definitely makes long distance towing a great deal less stressful, but even on a short urban run it should prove more than worthwhile.

The kerb weight of the Ranger Wildtrak is 2239kg.

So by adding 400kg of human occupants,

Chris Hart Vehicle Sales Manager Mob 027 439 0887

Ray McLaren Vehicle Sales Mob 027 602 3311

plus 80 litres of fuel, that leaves around 480kg for whatever payload of luggage and provisions you might want to load into the tray, before hitting the vehicle’s legal GVM of 3200kg.

So for those diehards who still reckon there’s no substitute for cubic inches, the Bi-Turbo Wildtrak more than proves otherwise.

T McLaren GT

he new McLaren GT toured the Goodwood estate for its global dynamic debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this week in front of an audience of thousands.

Just before midday the McLaren GT appeared.

Taking the wheel of the rule-breaking McLaren GT, TV presenter Nicki Shields drove the car on its debut run up Goodwood Hill and its first dynamic public appearance.

The McLaren GT completed four further hill runs throughout the afternoon with Le Mans class-winner Jonny Kane and GT racer Ollie Millroy taking over driving duties.

The McLaren of Grand Tourers – McLaren’s modern interpretation of the classic GT – was revealed online on May 15.

Superlight, yet supremely comfortable, the McLaren GT is powered by a 620PS 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, providing supercar performance. It accelerates from 0-100km/h (0-60mph) in 3.2 seconds and on to 326km/h (203mph), and can carry up to 570 litres of luggage – enough for a grand tour for two people.

The McLaren GT also performs on the inside with luxurious trim options including Nappa leather, softgrain leather or Alcantara®, and seats unique to the McLaren GT that are designed for long distance comfort.

The luggage bay can also be trimmed with SuperFabric®, developed to be resistant to stains, cuts, nicks and abrasions, as well as being breathable, easy to clean and quick to dry.

The infotainment system is the company’s most sophisticated to date, featuring industry-standard HERE® navigation and real-time traffic information and it can also be linked to a 12-speaker Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system.

The McLaren GT is priced from £163,000.

Visitors to McLaren House could also see the McLaren GT on display alongside the Speedtail Hyper-GT in addition to the 720S Spider, 600LT Spider, LEGO McLaren Senna, the 1998 Goodwood Hill record-holding MP4/13 and Niki Lauda’s 1984 F1 World Championship-winning MP4/2.

range of new-generation engines, striking design, significantly increased interior space and a third row of seats available on all models are highlights of the new Mercedes-Benz GLE. The highly anticipated large SUV, launched in July in its fourth-generation guise, has grown in size compared to the model it replaces with almost 70mm of extra legroom, and features a new generation of engines including a powerful inline six-cylinder diesel engine and 4MATIC all-wheel-drive standard across the range.

The initial two-model range will be among the first Mercedes-Benz vehicles to arrive in New Zealand equipped with Mercedes me Connect as standard, which connects the owner to their vehicle in several new ways.

Via the Mercedes me Connect app, the vehicle can be warmed up via Remote Start, the doors can be locked or unlocked, the

vehicle can be tracked or geofenced, an address can be sent to the vehicle navigation system, or nearby parking spaces may be located (subject to infrastructure).

The owner will also be automatically notified of upcoming maintenance requirements, and can connect to a call centre at the press of one button in the case of an accident.

Featuring a more spacious interior with almost 70mm more legroom in the rear seats, the GLE can be optionally fitted with a third row of seats.

Extending seating capacity to seven in this Mercedes-Benz large SUV has not been possible locally since the first generation, which was badged as the M-Class.

An updated version of the MBUX driver interface is standard in the GLE, including two side-by-side 12.3-inch digital screens, in addition to numerous options to set preferences and interact with many levels of settings, including the acclaimed ‘Hey Mercedes’ voice recognition system.

A head-up display (HUD) is now standard across the range.

Not for the faint of heart A

fter blitzing the time that the Honda Civic Type R held for two years at the Nurburgring, the Renault Megane R.S Trophy-R became the fastest frontwheel drive car around the ring, a record that it still has.

The incredibly hot French hatch burst onto the scene when it cut down the record that the Honda had held for two years on the ring, and now it is headed our way.

Labelled the “most high performance production car Renault has ever put on the market,” the Trophy-R is not a hatchback for the faint of heart.

The incredibly hot French hatch is based on the standard Megane RS Trophy, and uses the same 1.8-litre turbocharged engine, which produces 221kW and 400Nm of torque.

A six-speed manual transmission exclusively sends all this power to the front wheels.

While the Trophy-R shares quite a few similarities with the Trophy, the main difference is the weight figure. The curb weight has said to have been cut down by around 130kg without options.

The alloy wheels have been replaced by a set of carbon fibre ones, the rear seats removed, and a carbon fibre bonnet installed.

Renault didn’t stop with the performance parts there though; the Trophy-R sits on an all-new suspension system, Bridgestone Potenza tyres, and Brembo carbon ceramic brakes.

In Henry Ford fashion, the Trophy-R will only be offered in white, and Renault have started taking orders for January 2020 deliveries.

The Trophy-R starts at $95K, which is a significant amount more than the $60K Honda Civic Type R, but it does come with the world’s fastest front-wheel drive production car bragging rights.

CX a family affair

I

magination drives us, says Mazda, as they clearly continue with their objective to deliver driving pleasure, but in easy-to-drive and live with packages.

They certainly have done so with their latest Mazda3 range.

But then that’s to be expected, for they have already done so with all of their CX family, from the smallest CX-3 to the largest CX-9.

All of whom, including the CX-5 and CX-8 have similar distinctive, especially so from the front, CX family styling as well as Sky-activ driveline efficiency and lots of driver assitance and safety technology.

Prices start at $31,395 for the entry-level CX-3, rising to $67,895 for the largest, and plushest, the seven seat CX-9 Takami.

But – what is a Takami?

Well, these high grade models sit above the usually top-of-the-range Limiteds.

They add even more equipment and plushness, including nappa leather, to the already very well furnished cabins.

Then while none of the CX family are hard-core off-roaders, there’s on-demand all-wheel-drive options for the CX-3, 5 and 8, while the CX-9s with their 220mm ground clearance have this as standard.

So they are well set up for skifield roads, and more.

I recently spent time with the latest, updated CX-3 GSX, the CX-5 Takami and CX-9 Takami, and late last year the CX-8 GSX AWD. So here’s pen-pictures of each – CX-3 GSX – $36,695 (others in four model range from $31,395 to $41,695 for the Takami).

This small SUV has a 2-litre four cylinder petrol engine (2WD CX-5s use this as well) producing 109kW and 192Nm of torque, together with an smooth six-speed auto.

A version of this gearbox which is used by all the CX range – with ratios and shift

management patterns tailored for each.

This combination works very well, with the engine only becoming vocal at higher revs – something you don’t need to normally do.

The stated overall fuel economy is 6.3L/100km.

Size-wise those occupying the front seats in the stylish, practical cabin are very well catered for.

However space in the rear, while very usable, is on the smaller side, as is luggage space.

The GSX comes with keyless/push-button start, a pop-up heads up projection, adaptive cruise control and collision avoidance technology.

Plus there’s a shared family look and function to the dash, touch screen and central command dial.

I mentioned earlier driving pleasure, and here the CX-3 sets the standard, which the others repeat, with its sharp steering (10.6m turning circle), the contribution of the G-vectoring control and suitably firm suspension provide a great all-round drive.

CX-5 Takami AWD – $61,495 (others in seven model range from $40,995 to $58,245).

Here in NZ and world-wide, the CX-5 is Mazda’s best seller. Other than heated/ ventilated nappa leather seats, heated steering wheel and other detailing the main point of difference to the comprehensively-equipped Limited models is the engine.

For the Takami, just like the CX-9, has a 2.5-litre, low-boost turbo-petrol engine which delivers a strong and consistent wave of 420Nm of torque at 2000rpm, just where needed for most effortless day to day driving.

As well,170kW at 5000rpm, both using regular petrol.

While that’s some 30kW and 168Nm more than the non-turbo engine, the

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

CX-5’s optional 2.2-litre diesel (which is also used by the CX-8) delivers 140kW and 450Nm, which the CX-5’s underpinnings and on-demand AWD easily cope with.

In saying that, slight changes have been made to the Takami’s suspension, as well even more direct steering to preserve the excellent balance between its precise handling and ride.

CX-5s are five-seaters, rated to tow 2000kg, and thisTakami’s quoted overall fuel consumption is 8.2L/100km.

CX-8 GSX AWD $55,995 (GSX 2WD $53,495) As I did a full report in Guardian Motoring late last year on the CX-8, this is just a brief update.

I note I was impressed with its blend of strong performance, handling (no surprises from what’s already been said) and quality cabin with its excellent seats, driving position and comprehensive driver/ safety assistance.

While it sits on the same wheelbase as the CX-9, and provides a similar seven-seater package, it is not quite as wide.

As well it is available only with the 2.2-litre diesel as mentioned above.

This engine is so quiet that its hard to hear any diesel noises.

CX-9 Takami $67,895 (GSX $59,695, Limited $65,259).

This 5075mm long CX-9 Takami, comfort-wise proved to be the ultimate with passengers (particularly so all who sat

in the front and door-side second row) commenting on the comfort and feel of the soft, rich red wine coloured, nappa leather seats and their high grade surroundings.

And that’s even before I drove away!

There’s a full range of climate controls for the three rows of seats.

I fitted comfortably into one of the two third row seats and would have been happy therein for the likes of a drive to Methven.

The eager turbo-petrol has been mentioned above.

This provides excellent performance with 0-100km/h possible in under 9 seconds, for like the others, there’s a driver selectable Sport mode. The quoted overall petrol use (again 91 octane) but probably not using Sport is 8.8l/100km.

As well as providing an always cosseting ride, it corners very keenly and safely with well contained body movement and excellent grip from the on-demand all-wheeldrive system.

Then of course it’s absolutely loaded with all the current safety and driver assistance technology.

As for the other CXs, most drivers will much appreciate the easy to use layout of the instruments and controls.

FINALE So in this keenly contested SUV market, where the choices keep multiplying, Mazda, with their comprehensive range of good looking SUVs, all of which focus on quality and driver involvement, seem very well placed.

They will be even more so with the arrival of the CX-30 later this year. Based on the new Mazda3 underpinnings, it will be powered by an innovative compression ignition, petrol engine!

Kids having fun? Call the fun police

E

very now and again you see or read something that really rattles your cage.

It might be something small on the global scale but most often it’s something that demonstrates a total lack of common sense and just as often it’s about bureaucracy and political correctness gone mad.

If you haven’t heard or read anything about a small group of Christchurch boys who spent months building themselves a bike track on unused red zone land, go search for it, read and get mad.

These boys had created the perfect playground, but some bully of a bureaucrat came in and smashed their track.

Unbelievable. Here we have a

group of young boys doing something constructive with their time. They’re not out scrawling graffiti on buildings, they’re not nicking stuff from corner stores or damaging public property, they’re doing good.

But some idiot behind a desk decided that the track these boys had created was a hazard.

Three months of hard work gone in minutes; hours of potential constructive recreation

wiped out.

Take a look at a BMX track and decide how a 100 metre stretch of jumps and berms could be deemed a hazard. These boys need huge support, not the slap down they’ve been given.

One night they went home after riding the track. When they returned they found nothing but a flattened strip of dirt.The fun police have called and the land will now be left to grow weeds.

What’s even more galling is that no one was complaining about the boys’ activity. Many in their community had even pitched in to help.

People, right thinking people were happy to see a bit of wasteland put to good use, to see kids putting down devices,

getting out,getting physical and having fun.

The piece of land in question had been declared unfit for housing post Canterbury earthquakes. It was clearly never going to have a use as anything other than a tiny neighbourhood park or as simple open space. It had no use and no users until these enterprising lads saw it as an opportunity.

Land Information Christchurch looks after the patch and someone decided the bike track made it too difficult to carry out maintenance. Not only that, it apparently broke health and safety requirements for the site. For an empty section?

Apparently there might have been hidden hazards. Isn’t that

what growing up is all about – dealing with hazards, making mistakes, having fun, getting hurt, getting up and getting back on the bike. That’s life, that’s learning.

What’s been able to happen in Christchurch is a sad testament to where we’ve come as a society. Rules rule. There is no such thing as compromise or commonsense.

That empty section was childhood’s paradise. A place where kids who now live on small, tidy sections could cut loose and play, where they could just get out and be kids, where they could get dirty, get some bumps and bruises but go home at the end of the day tired, satisfied and happy.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, July 12, the 193rd day of 2019. There are 172 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: In 1543, England’s King Henry VIII married his sixth and last wife, Catherine Parr.

On this date: In 1863, British troops invaded Waikato by crossing the Mangatāwhiri Stream, which the Kīngitanga (Māori King movement) had declared an aukati (a line not to be crossed).

In 1889, the first women’s trade union in New Zealand emerged in the late 19th century in response to the poor working conditions in the clothing industry.

In 1960, the Etch A Sketch Magic Screen drawing toy, invented

by French electrician Andre Cassagnes, was first produced by the Ohio Art Co. In 1962, The Rolling Stones played their first-ever gig at The Marquee in London.

In 1967, rioting erupted in Newark, New Jersey, over the police beating of a black taxi driver; 26 people were killed in the five days of violence that followed.

In 1977, President Jimmy Carter defended Supreme Court limits on government payments for poor women’s abortions, saying, “There are many things in life that are not fair.”

In 1994, President Bill Clinton, visiting Germany, went to the eastern sector of Berlin, the first US president to do so since Harry Truman.

In 2001, the first stage win by a New Zealander in the Tour de France came in a team time trial.

Although Chris Jenner didn’t finish with the core of his Credit Agricole team, he shared in the stage win and got to stand on the podium.

In 2003, the USS Ronald Reagan, the first carrier named for a living president, was commissioned in Norfolk, Virginia.

In 2005, Prince Albert II of Monaco acceded to the throne of a 700-year-old dynasty.

The dream team Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

S

ometimes when I’m at work I just need to keep my mouth shut, which is kinda hard considering my line of work.

Somehow I have signed myself up to complete an ironman.

Now before you fall off the chair laughing, I’m not doing the whole thing at once or even by myself.

Anna from the EA Networks Centre sports complex gym popped into the studio for her fortnightly visit about a month ago and we were chatting about her brother Braden Currie.

For those who don’t know he is one of the best ironman exponents in the world. Must have been all that good clean mountain water he drank growing up in Methven.

Anna is always looking out for quirky challenges and competitions for her gym members to tackle, so I suggested to coincide with his attempt at the World Ironman Champs in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, we do our own ironman.

The ironman consists of a 3.86km swim, followed by a 180.2km bike ride and then running a marathon to finish.

The current Ironman Hawaii course record was set last year

by Patrick Lange from Germany, whose winning time was 7 hrs 52 min 39 sec.

So my brilliant idea was, it takes the athletes around eight hours to complete an Ironman, let’s do it in eight days. “Great idea,” said Anna, “We could do it at the start of October just before Kona starts. You’ll be the first one to sign up eh?”

PHOTO GRAPHICALLY ALTERED

Here’s where the keeping mouth shut thought pattern stems from, “Yeah, sweet as,” I stupidly replied.

If they can do it in eight hours, surely I could bust it out in eight days.

Then I remembered the running bit. I hate running with a

passion, always have and always will. Then I calculated how many lengths of the EA pool I’d need to complete, 152!

I hopped on the bike at the gym to work out how long it would take me to complete the 180km and, going at a good clip, I should be able to nail it in five

hours. As you know (I’ve told you enough times) I’m Ashburton’s busiest man and thought to myself, as much as I’d love to knock this bugger off, I just don’t have the time. Well, that and the fact I am fat and lazy!

I need a ‘Dream Team’. A team akin to Michael Jordan’s 1992 American Olympic basketball team that contained Scottie Pippen, John Stockton, Karl Malone, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson and Charles Barkley.

Of the three disciplines, the biking seemed the best option for me.

Now who can I drag into this mess I’ve made for myself?

Jonesy! The swim coach at the pool. He’s an old mate of mine from yonks ago (don’t hold that against him, he’s a top bloke), he’ll help me out with the swim leg I’m sure. Turns out I didn’t even have to bribe him with beer as he’s just got home from a holiday in Bali and needs to shed a few kilos. Boom.

Right, who do I know, mad enough to run a marathon in eight days and currently on holiday and I’m sure will return with the need to shed a few kilos.

Jenny Soal, the gym instructor!

Actually she probably won’t need to shed any when she gets back as she’s crazy enough to be running while on holiday, which should be against the law!

Dream team assembled.

Well I call it the ‘dream’ team, it’s probably more nightmare than dream for Jonesy and Jenny.

YOUR VIEW Chinese settlement On March 21, 2013, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed between descendants of the original five Chinese owners and the Ashburton District Council, and the council officially took over the stewardship of the Ashburton Chinese Settlement on Allens Road.

A gift was given to the people of this district by the Chinese families, but we didn’t really know what to do with the gift.

Some repairs and maintenance

have taken place since then.

During this term of council a Chinese Settlement Working Group was formed to find a way forward, ideas were exchanged and assessments done regarding the state of the buildings and site.

Restoration of the settlement started, some buildings could not be saved and others were stabilised/restored.

Slowly we realised what the gift was and that it is a gift to keep, to cherish and to embrace by the Ashburton community.

It tells the families’ stories, em-

igration, hardships, joy, friendships, sadness and being part of the community, as we all are!

During the process Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Toanga was invited to visit the settlement and they realised that this was a site of great significance.

Last Sunday morning (on a beautiful Mid Canterbury winter’s day) the descendants of the families and other guests gathered at the site to celebrate.

chaeological site. This is a gift that keeps giving.

It is a privilege and an honour for me to be part of this project and I would like to thank the Chinese Settlement Working Group, council staff, Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Toanga and all other people involved with this project.

A special thank you to the Ng King families and descendants for your input, patience and trust.

■■CRICKET WORLD CUP

In brief

Sky ‘opens the gates’ Sky TV came under fire earlier this week from Spark Sport Jeff Latch – who said his company wanted to go after A-list cricket rights and other top codes.

Latch claimed many sports had sold broadcast rights to Sky then suffered declining audiences and participation.

“They’ve taken the big cheques – pretty much all of them now,” he said.

“And they’re sitting behind a pay window with Sky but they’ve seen some pretty distressing things happen to their sport over the past 15 years as a consequence of that.”

Latch promised Spark would offer more content free-to-air if it did bag more top sports rights.

He said while Sky had Prime as a vehicle for free content, the amount of sports content available on the channel had wilted away.

New Zealand’s 18-run semi-final victory against India was “an historic act of giant-killing” and “one of the finest one-day internationals ever” according to international media.

The final is set to start 9.30pm SunThe Black Caps were a happy lot at the end of the semi-final. day NZT.

New Zealand bank profits rose 9 per cent in the first three months of the year, shrugging off a fall in new lending and lower returns from interest. Profits rose to $1.45 billion, according to the KPMG Financial Institution Performance Survey March 2019 quarterly analysis. This is a big bounce back for the sector which had seen profits fall after the housing market peak in 2017. While profit was up 8.9 per cent from the December quarter it was up more than 17 per cent on the same period in 2018. The big four banks saw lending growth of between 1.33 per cent and 1.68 per cent for the quarter.

highs on Wednesday following dovish remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell which boosted the case for an interest rate cut later this month.

The S&P 500 briefly broke above 3000 for the first time, while the Nasdaq Composite and Dow Jones Industrial Average also reached all-time highs.

Powell said that business investments across the US have slowed notably recently as uncertainties over the economic outlook linger.

However, the major stock index pared gains as Powell answered questions.

Powell reiterated that current trade conditions and muted economic activity have dampened the US economy’s outlook.

However, he said that the US economy remains on solid ground.

The S&P 500 closed back below 3000, but still ended up 0.5 per cent at 2993.

The Dow Jones rose 0.3 per cent after rallying nearly 200 points, while the Nasdaq Composite ended the day off its session high, but managed a record close at 8202.

Turning to Australia, the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA) this week said that the banks would be required to increase capital buffers by three percentage points by January 2024 having initially told the banks they would increase capital by four to five percentage points.

Ratings agency S&P Global Rating upgraded its outlook for the big four banks from negative to stable after APRA’s capital buffer requirements were modified.

Shares of the major banks closed slightly lower following the news.

Separately, consumer confidence in Australia fell to a twoyear low as consumers become increasingly concerned about the state of the economy and their chances of holding on to a job, despite the prospect of personal income tax cuts and falling mortgage rates.

Australia’s benchmark ASX 200 index has surged over 18 per cent this year and is about 2 per cent away from its record high, reached in 2007.

However, the sluggish economy and housing slump continues to weigh on sentiment.

Looking ahead, markets will look to the US reporting season, which ramps up next week.

Record day for NZ shares N ew Zealand shares hit a fresh record on Wednesday, with the benchmark NZX 50 index gaining 1.1 per cent to 10,650, surpassing Friday’s previous record.

The jump was thanks to index heavyweight a2 Milk, which surged 6.6 per cent to $16.25 on the back of a series of broker upgrades.

Its shares closed $1.00 higher on the day, lifting its market capitalisation by $735m to $11.9b and solidifying its position of largest company on the NZX by market cap.

Meanwhile, Port of Tauranga fell from its record highs on news that log export prices in China have slumped.

The problem stems from logs sitting on the wharves at ports in China, not being sent to construction projects inland.

The latest fall, which happened in a matter of weeks, brought log prices down by 15 per cent.

The listed property sector continued to outperform with Vital Healthcare and Precinct Properties providing revaluation updates.

Vital Healthcare announced an upwards portfolio revaluation of $102.4m, up 5.9 per cent for the 12 months ending June 2019.

Meanwhile, Precinct Properties reported a preliminary revaluation gain on its property portfolio of approximately $162m, or 6.2 per cent.

This increases the value of Precinct’s portfolio to around $2.8bn at June 30 2019.

New Sky TV boss Martin Stewart took to Twitter yesterday to declare the ICC Cricket World Cup final will be free-to-air on Prime “so the whole country can join in”.

The pay TV provider said before the World Cup that it would only show the Black Caps two warm-up games plus NZ’s round robin against Bangladesh free-to-air on Prime, with other coverage restricted to Sky Sport and Fanpass subscribers.

But a spokeswoman revealed yesterday that it was always a possibility to open the gates.

“Putting the final on Prime – if New Zealand was in it – was always up our sleeve, but we didn’t want to jinx it until we knew we were in the final,” she said.

The coverage on Prime will be live.

Radio Sport will have live commentary and on iHeartRadio. The NZ Herald, through nzherald.co.nz, will have live-blog coverage and indepth analysis, and will also host the Radio Sport commentary through the night.

The Commerce Commission has filed High Court proceedings against Westpac New Zealand over a blunder that affected more than 19,000 credit card holders.

The watchdog alleges the bank breached the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003 by failing to provide key information that it was required to give customers under the law – and it will seek damages for affected customers. The Act allows for damages varying between $200 and $6000 per customer. - NZME

■■ADDINGTON

In brief

Cameron pair rate highly

By Jonny Turner Kyle Cameron is enjoying his best season as a trainer and has the chance to make it even better at Addington tonight.

The Fernside trainer-driver has produced a personal best eight winners this term and has the chance to hit double figures with two strong winning chances in Medusa and Fynn Frost.

Medusa shares the 20m back mark with her main rival, Splash Cola, in tonight’s fast class trot.

Race tempo will be the key to how Medusa is able to handle her handicap.

The 6-year-old is a noted slow starter and how fast her rivals are trotting ahead of her is likely to dictate how Cameron can go about catching them with Medusa.

“The 20m back mark is a bit of a pain for her, just for the fact that she doesn’t trot up that quick early,” the trainer-driver said.

“So she will probably settle

last, barring gallopers.”

“It is just a case of how hard we have to chase to catch the pack.”

“And we should be getting over the top of them at the finish, all going to plan.”

Medusa showed she was ready to strike when running a good third behind smart winner, The Dominator, at Addington, last week.

“The most pleasing thing for me was Destiny Jones was on our back and she is a pretty smart horse,” Cameron said.

“To be beating her home, to me says we have gone pretty good.”

“The quality of the field is probably down on last week, which suits us.”

Medusa beat home Splash Cola, but could not reel in fellow race rival Trick Star in last week’s event.

Splash Cola reverts back to standing start racing tonight after galloping and losing ground behind the mobile.

The Regan Todd-trained trotter

Kyle Cameron clearly looks the horse for Medusa to beat on Friday.

Splash Cola won, beating third placed Medusa, when they clashed off level marks in their previous starts at Addington.

Fynn Frost will aim for career win two for Cameron in rating 40-50 company tonight.

The 4-year-old’s last start sixth placing saw him miss a top three finish for the first time in five placings.

However, his effort to stick on after doing a power of work meant the run was arguably as good as any of his previous four outings.

“We were three wide the trip,” Cameron said.

“I was hoping to get around to parked, but it wasn’t to be, but he stuck it out pretty well.”

All of Fynn Frost’s recent form has been over distances less than 2400m.

Once the horse is able to get back up over 2600m the horse should thrive.

Despite that, Cameron still expects his charge to go another strong race in tonight’s 1980m event.

“I would give him a pretty good chance.”

■■RUAKAKA

New hotel at Karaka New Zealand Bloodstock are set to add another service to their burgeoning bloodstock business with the construction of a hotel, The DoubleTree by Hilton Karaka, on their Karaka property. The South Auckland business, which already offers sales, airfreight, insurance, and finance services to the equine industry, will now offer accommodation on their sales complex, conveniently located just 20 minutes’ drive from Auckland International Airport. With 120 guest rooms, including four suites, a restaurant and bar, along with conference facilities, the hotel will be set amongst the picturesque Sales Centre at Karaka.

Wise Men Say returns Wise Men Say won last year’s Grant Plumbing Wellington Steeplechase (5500m) at Trentham and he will return to the Wellington track tomorrow in a bid to defend his title. The nine-year-old gelding has only had three starts since and his trainer Raymond Connors is hoping he can recapture some of his old form on Saturday. The son of Yamanin Vital tailed the field home in the Hawke’s Bay Steeplechase last start and Connors is expecting a better performance on Saturday with the added distance. - NZME

Dolcetto thriving

Nothing Trivial sole runner for Hillis NZME The upcoming return of a stable star has put a spring into the step of Wayne Hillis, who has been happy to put a few kilometres on the clock this winter.

The Matamata trainer took two horses on the 600km return journey to Ruakaka for each of the seaside track’s two race meetings last month – Don’t Doubt Me and Nothing Trivial.

The latter will be his only representative tomorrow when he lines up in the ITM/GIB Whangarei Gold Cup (2100m).

“He doesn’t like the heavy tracks, so we’re going to take him back up to Ruakaka again this weekend,” Hillis said.

“He might get away with slow ground, but definitely not anything worse than that.

“At this time of year, there really aren’t many options apart from Ruakaka for a horse like him.”

Now a rising 10-year-old, Nothing Trivial has been a strong performer for owner-breeder Emma Evans.

He has won 10 races and more than $180,000 in stakes, and he was beaten by a mere neck when second in the Gr.3 Counties Cup (2100m) in 2014.

The Elusive City gelding had been unplaced in all but one of his 16 starts this season before last month, including a couple of outings over hurdles.

But Ruakaka turned his form around with a strong second placing over 2100m on June 15, followed two weeks later by an eye-catching finish out wide to be close behind the placegetters in a similar line-up to Saturday’s open handicap feature.

Ashburton Guardian 29

Consistent galloper Dolcetto is jumping out of his skin ahead of the El Cheapo Cars Whyte Handicap at Trentham tomorrow. The Per Incanto six-year-old was sent to the spelling paddock after his last start victory in the Listed Ag Challenge Stakes at Wanganui last month, but he was doing so well trainer Sylvia Kay was forced to bring him back into work. It was Dolcetto’s first win in 18 months and Kay was delighted. “He has been knocking for a long time. He had terrible draws and everything went wrong through all those good races, which is pretty annoying.” - NZME

Tiger back on track

Nothing Trivial demonstrates her winning form at Taupo, and should be a top chance tomorrow.

“He’s run good races in both of his recent runs up there,” Hillis said.

“We’ve been very happy with him and his work has been good since then.

“He’s going up in grade this week, so we’ll use Darren Danis’s two-kilogram claim and get in with a light weight.”

Meanwhile, Hillis recently welcomed Imelda Mary back to his stable.

The Ferlax filly has been the fairy-tale story of this season.

Bought for just $3500 as a year-

ling, part-owned by Hillis and named after his mother, she won three races and almost $180,000 in prize-money, headed by stirring victories in the Gr.2 Royal Stakes (2000m) and Sir Tristram Fillies’ Classic (2000m).

“She’s been back in work for about two weeks now and she’s looking great,” Hillis said.

“We don’t have too much in mind for her at this stage.

“We won’t get carried away early in the spring.

“We’ll probably look to kick her off somewhere in the grades,

then warm up a bit later on.

“We’ll see how she comes up and take it from there.”

Hillis will take a similar waitand-see approach with Watch This Space, who has been a bigrace placegetter this season in the Gr.1 Thorndon Mile (1600m), Gr.2 Japan-NZ International Trophy (1600m) and Gr.2 Easter Handicap (1600m).

“He’s back in work as well and coming along nicely too,” Hillis said.

“We’ll see how he’s going and then make a plan for him.”

The Inter Dominion champ is back.

Tiger Tara returns to racing a week earlier than expected in a quest to sharpen-up for a step straight back into Group 1 racing in next week’s $250,000 Blacks A Fake at Albion Park. And he will be reunited with regular driver Todd McCarthy. Lauren Tritton had been booked, but when Pizzuto scratched Majordan from Saturday night’s Sunshine Sprint, McCarthy scrapped plans to head north. “I owe Lauren one,” Pizzuto said.

“I’ve promised her a drive on the horse and she’ll get one, but with Todd now staying in Sydney it’s important he drives the horse. He hasn’t been on the horse since the Miracle Mile,” Pizzuto said. - HRNZ

Big money in Hong Kong Hong Kong racing will offer record prize money of $246.5 million for the 2019/20 season. Lucrative increases to Champions Day’s three Group One races and the BMW Hong Kong Derby feature. In keeping with its world class status, the Queen Elizabeth II Cup has received a HK$1m boost and will be worth HK$25m ($4.74m) in 2020. The historic BMW Hong Kong Derby is Hong Kong’s most important domestic contest and will be worth HK$20ml.

In a game of massive moments, this was the biggest. Indian superstar MS Dhoni just failed to make his ground after going for a tight second run when Martin Guptill whistled in a super throw from the outfield, scoring a direct hit and sending the lit-up bails flying.

■■CRICKET

Black Caps eye Cup glory AP New Zealand is back in the World Cup final – and Trent Boult isn’t hiding who he wants to meet at Lord’s on Sunday.

“I think Australia pumped us in 2015 in the final,” the pace bowler said, sporting a wide grin, “so it would be nice to (play them) again.”

Australia took on England, the tournament host, overnight at Edgbaston.

If the Australians won, the Black Caps get the chance to avenge a seven-wicket hammering handed out by their trans-Tasman rivals in Melbourne four years ago.

The New Zealanders didn’t really do themselves justice in their first appearance in the title match, bowled out for 183 and then seeing Australia knock off those runs in 33.1 overs.

The Kiwis lost to both England and Australia (at Lord’s) in the group stage of the 2019 edition, but won’t be fearing whoever they face in the final after taking out

highly fancied India in Manchester.

In Kane Williamson, New Zealand has one of the great batsmen of this or any era.

He is averaging a tournament-high 91.33 at this World Cup and the way he judged the pace of the team’s innings of 239-8 in testing circumstances and on a tricky pitch yesterday underlined his knowledge and class under pressure.

New Zealand’s bowling attack is also dangerous – just ask Virat Kohli and the rest of India’s top order.

Hitting the right length and getting movement in the air and off the deck, Boult and strike partner Matt Henry reduced India to 5-3 and then 24-4.

India’s batsmen didn’t know what had hit them.

Boult described it as “mayhem”.

“At the halfway stage, we sort of wanted 240, 250 and we knew we would be competitive if we got that because the surface played the way it did,” Williamson said.

“But then to have to start with the ball that we had was an outstanding way to try and kick things off, and try and get into a position of strength.

“I thought the way the bowlers and the fielders operated throughout on a big field, on a surface which they had to adapt differently again, was a great effort.”

Kohli was out to a ball from Boult that nipped in and struck him on the pad for an lbw, becoming the most high-profile of the left-armer’s 17 victims this tournament.

“That was a perfect spell of fast bowling with the new ball,” said Kohli, who believes New Zealand will be particularly hard to beat in the final in bowler-friendly conditions.

“I wasn’t surprised at all with how New Zealand played. We knew there’s only one or two sides in world cricket that puts seven fielders in the ring.

“We knew they were going to attack more and not let the game go to the end or take it deep they

would just go all out and play that way. I’ve seen them play that way.

“They know how to build pressure because they play good consistent cricket and today was an example of that.”

“If conditions are good to bat, then they will have to bat really well,” Kohli added. “If conditions are bowler-friendly and they put enough runs on the board, they become a dangerous side as you saw in this game.”

Conditions and pitches have assisted, and the Black Caps capitalised yesterday.

Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult and, now, Matt Henry all enjoyed days turning it on. Jimmy Neesham has often chimed in, too.

Henry dismissed KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma to set the Black Caps alight in pursuit of the final.

As the architect of the clamps and middle order collapse, Mitchell Santner also saved his best for India.

After a semi-final that Boult said had the feel of a test because it was played out over two days,

New Zealand’s players could put their feet up to take in Australia-England.

“We’ll be watching with interest and just more excited about being on the stage,” Boult said.

“Lord’s, Cricket World Cup final.

It doesn’t get bigger than that.

“Whoever it is we’re definitely looking forward to it.”

New Zealand will again rely heavily on their leaders for the final.

Second time around in the big dance for many, they should not be overawed.

The Black Caps saved 25-plus runs in the field against India – on the rope, in the circle, off the follow through. Martin Guptill’s side-on direct hit sent MS Dhoni into retirement and nailed India’s coffin shut – what a way to do it – after Jimmy Neesham’s freak reaction dive claimed the catch of the tournament. Kane Williamson also made two very difficult skied catches look far too easy.

When the Black Caps field like this there is no-one better.

■■RUGBY

Timely break for first XV The Ashburton College and Mt Hutt College combined first XV is having a well-earned three-week break from rugby with the arrival of the school holidays.

The side’s last outing last weekend was against Shirley Boys’ High School, with the city side’s

big forwards dominating the game.

Coach Brent Middleton said it was played on a waterlogged pitch, in atrocious conditions, and Shirley’s big forwards controlled the scrum and lineout.

Combined lost 43-0 with Shirley

enjoying about 70 per cent of the possession. “It was tough, but they tackled well.”

Middleton said the side would have three away games to finish the round robin part of the competition, travelling to Rangiora High School on July 27, then St

Bede’s and finally to Nelson.

The Rangiora game will mark 100 years since the two school sides first met, though it would likely have been an Ashburton High School side taking on the North Canterbury school.

He said the three-week break

would help players revive after a tough campaign.

“We only had one reserve for the game against Shirley, with people away sick and for the holidays.”

It would also give those nursing injuries time to heal.

Djokovic still wary

Federer creates even more history All these years later, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will meet again at Wimbledon for the 40th installment of their terrific rivalry – and first at the All England Club since their memorable 2008 final.

“Such a long time,” Nadal said.

They moved on to the semi-final showdown everyone’s been thinking about since the tournament draw by each overcoming a tough opening set yesterday.

A 4-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Kei Nishikori gave the No. 2-seeded Federer his 100th match win at the All England Club, the first man to reach that total at any Grand Slam tournament.

Not long after that ended on Centre Court, the No. 3-seeded Nadal finished off Sam Querrey 7-5, 6-2, 6-2 at No. 1 Court.

Friday’s other semi-final will draw far less attention: No. 1 Novak Djokovic, the defending champion, against No. 23 Roberto Bautista Agut, never before this far at a major.

Looking ahead to what comes next for himself, Federer said: “Obviously, I know people always hype it up.”

Well, why shouldn’t they?

These are, after all, two of the greatest players in tennis’ long history, winners of more Grand Slam titles than any other men.

Of Federer’s 20, a record eight came at Wimbledon.

Of Nadal’s 18, 12 came at the French Open, where he routed

Roger Federer salutes the Wimbledon crowd for the 100th time.

Federer in the semi-finals last month.

That gave Nadal a 24-15 career edge head-to-head, including 10-3 at the Slams.

But that one was on the red clay Nadal rules.

This one is on Federer’s territory: grass.

This is their fourth matchup at Wimbledon – and first that won’t come in the final.

Federer beat Nadal for the 2006 and 2007 titles, but Nadal won the championship 11 years ago in a 9-7 fifth set as dusk descended.

“Well, we have a lot of information on Rafa, and so does he about us,” Federer said.

“So you can either dive into tactics and all that stuff like mad for two days – or you’re just going to say: ‘You know what? It’s grasscourt tennis and I’m going to come out there and play attacking tennis.’ And if he can defend that, that’s too good.

“And if he can’t, well, then, that’s good for me.”

It is the 13th time that the Big Three of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic are in the semi-finals at a major tournament together.

On 11 of the previous occasions, one of them claimed the title.

There were some shaky moments for each yesterday.

“The beginning,” Federer said, “was brutal.”

The eighth-seeded Nishikori jumped out to an early edge by breaking in the very first game, enough to give him that set.

But Federer quickly turned things around in the second, conjuring up whatever he wanted, exactly when he wanted it.

His approach shots were beyond reproach. His volleys vibrant. His returns were timed so well, and struck so violently, that one knocked the net-rushing Nishikori’s racket plum out of his hands.

“Overall, I’m just very happy how I’m hitting the ball,” Federer said. “Feel good off the baseline, too, which is clearly going to be important, maybe, for the next match.”

Yeah, maybe.

Nadal, of course, is still a ball-retrieving, shot-whipping machine at the back of the court.

He did have some trouble closing out the first set against Querrey, an American ranked 65th who was trying to reach his second Wimbledon semi-final.

Nadal wasted three set points at 5-3, then another before getting broken at 5-4.

Again serving for that set at 6-5, he erased a trio of break points for Querrey before holding – and finally was on his way.

“I definitely think he’s a guy that can win it again,” Querrey said about two-time Wimbledon champ Nadal.

AP

Novak Djokovic only has to look back a few months to remind himself that he shouldn’t underestimate his next opponent at Wimbledon.

The top-ranked Serb will be facing Roberto Bautista Agut, a player who beat him in both of their meetings in 2019 – on hard courts in Doha and Miami.

So while the match is pitting a four-time Wimbledon champion with 15 major titles against a player in his first Grand Slam semi-final, recent history suggests that things might not be quite so one-sided.

“He has won twice against me so far this year. That’s certainly going to give him confidence,” Djokovic said.

Ahead of the quarter-finals, Bautista Agut was – surprisingly – the only player who hadn’t dropped a set this tournament. That streak ended against Guido Pella, but the 23rd-seeded Spaniard still won 7-5, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.

Djokovic is known for his ability to extend rallies and keep the ball in play with his defensive ability, and Bautista Agut said that’s a style of play that suits him well.

“He is very solid from baseline.

He likes to play a lot of rallies,” Bautista Agut said. “Well, I like to play against (an) opponent like this, to play a match with a lot of rallies. Against Novak, that’s what we do.”

■■RUGBY LEAGUE

Final a thriller NZME New South Wales have produced an unforgettable last-gasp stunner to steal Game 3 and the entire 2019 State of Origin series in the most dramatic of circumstances.

ANZ Stadium went ballistic after star fullback James Tedesco scored a match-winning try in the 26-20 New South Wales victory, after a rollercoaster solo run with just 20 seconds to play to stop the game going into extra-time.

After a Blake Ferguson run down the sidelines, Tedesco beat the final two defenders with a stunning run to the corner that sealed the series for the Blues.

Just 30 seconds earlier, Queensland captain Daly Cherry-Evans was lining up to attempt a field goal, that he was never able to kick because of how quickly the Blues got off their defensive line.

The match had looked certain to go to golden point with New South Wales needing to go 90m to score with their final set of the match.

But that’s when Tedesco popped up and cemented his spot as one of the biggest superstars in rugby league with his run is now certain to be written into State of Origin folklore.

It ended the most incredible deciders in recent memory after Queensland had produced a monumental fightback to tie the game at 20-20 with two late tries of their own.

#CWC19 R E S U LT S

NSW Origin hero James Tedesco.

Just as the game looked certain to head into golden point, Tedesco stood up and produced a historic highlight.

The Roosters star was announced player of the series after full time and was awarded the Wally Lewis Medal.

The incredible result ended the Blues’ 14year wait for back-to-back series wins.

It also snapped the Blues’ seven-match losing streak in Origin deciders.

On a night of absolute drama, the result also handed Mitchell Pearce his first ever Origin series win after playing 19 matches.

■■GOLF

Trump stripper-golf all off AP President Donald Trump’s company said yesterday it has cancelled a golf tournament with strippers serving as caddies that was to be held at Trump’s golf resort near Miami.

The Washington Post reports the Trump Organisation issued a statement saying the event would no longer take place because a children’s charity that was to benefit from it had pulled out.

The statement said “all amounts paid will be refunded”.

The Shadow All Star Tournament was organised by a Hialeah strip club, Shadow Cabaret.

The club had advertised on Facebook and its website that the event would be held on

Saturday at Trump National Doral.

The tournament offered golfers a choice of dancers to be their “caddy girl”.

Shadow Cabaret’s marketing director Emanuele Mancuso had said there would be no nudity at the resort.

After the tournament, golfers and dancers were to go to a different venue for a burlesque show.

A Trump Organisation statement to the Washington Post said funds raised by the tournament were to go to the Miami All Stars charity.

However, the organisation’s director, Carlos Alamilla, told The Associated Press yesterday that he withdrew because he wasn’t aware a strip club was involved in the tournament.

LIVESTOCK, PETS

Competition fierce for All Black spots

By Christopher Reive Injuries can be devastating.

If a star player goes down, it can be hard for a team to find a way to fill the role with an athlete of a similar level.

The All Blacks have no such issues.

It’s a luxury the side has had for years, with the first squad of 2019 providing a number of case studies.

“That’s the same every year,” All Blacks fullback Ben Smith said.

“There’s always people putting their hand up and that’s the awesome thing about New Zealand rugby, there’s always new talent coming through, getting an opportunity and showing that they’re good enough to play at the top level.”

The All Blacks named a 39man squad last week for the first two games of this year’s Rugby Championship, which will be played in Argentina and South Africa.

The side is without key players across the park due to unavailability for rest purposes or injury, which offers the opportunity for the next generation to stamp their mark at the top level.

Although named in the squad, seasoned veterans Kieran Read and Sam Whitelock will be among those who remain in New Zealand when the side travels to Buenos Aires this week, leaving two key spots in the forward pack up for grabs in Argentina next weekend.

In the backline, an injury to Damian McKenzie has given

young Highlanders No 10. Josh Ioane a shot at the vacant role as the All Blacks’ third first fiveeighth, while an injury to Ryan Crotty has opened the door for other midfielders to stake their claim for a spot in the World Cup squad.

Jack Goodhue, Anton Lienert-Brown, Ngani Laumape and Sonny Bill Williams are the midfield options in the travelling squad, likely all playing to convince the selectors they deserve a spot at the World Cup. With Crotty expected to be fit for the tournament in Japan later this year, the five will be fighting over a probable four midfield spots.

“It keeps you on your toes,” Lienert-Brown said of the competition for spots.

“All those boys are performing really well so, I guess, you can’t let an opportunity slip.”

The All Blacks will trim their squad to 34 for the World Cup which, as it stands, would see seven from the current squad miss out should likely selections Scott Barrett and Crotty be fit for the tournament.

Smith said the added pressure of fighting for spots was something that players had to embrace.

“For us as players, I think you’ve just got to walk toward that pressure.

“We’re pretty privileged to be doing what we’re doing, and as players you just want to put your best foot forward.

“Hopefully we get a chance to do that over the next few weeks.”

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’re careful not to make things about you that shouldn’t be. Sometimes, even things that are given, said and done directly to you are actually not about you. Wisdom helps you separate your role from your true self.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): It’s like your life is perfectly sized and then when one thing changes – a visit, travel, an event – the basics of self-care go out the window. It’s better when exercise and time to yourself is a higher priority.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Being satisfied doesn’t always come naturally. Some find it easier than others. To get satisfied when you’re not requires you notice and allow yourself to be influenced by a different set of factors.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): There’s nothing telling you what you must decide. But don’t let that paralyse you. There are a lot of ways to get it right. It’s a case of recognising what it is you most want to learn.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Though you don’t mean to deceive anyone, and no one means to deceive you, there are dynamics in play that could call for a heightened version of personality.

Pretending isn’t just for children.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You will be in a competitive mood. It starts with knowing you can beat someone else and then realising that the thing to beat is the status quo, or perhaps your own personal best.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The clandestine arrangement is the thing of Shakespearean comedy and tragedy alike. It’s the infrastructure of surprise parties and coups. Secrets have power not to be taken lightly.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Getting comfortable around different types of people will be the challenge of the day. Only the most confident and classy take this on, as the easier thing is to avoid those who are different.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The social lessons learned young still apply. Either figure out who likes you and, if it’s mutual, hang around that person. Or, you can figure out who you like first, which is the best way.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): There are easy things to interpret (movies, typical design concepts, familiar faces) and then there are harder things (books, poetry, fine art and complicated people): All are worth it!

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You prefer to bring the big picture into being through a mental evenness. This requires you to break large tasks down and then plot them out with a reasonable schedule over time.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Some of the scariest words are, “Can we talk?” While it’s fine to let loved ones know how you feel, today it’s also safe to assume your actions have told them.

Fun introduction to golf

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

A sizeable turnout to his first school holiday programme at the Ashburton Golf Club has got coach Matt Davis excited about the growth of the junior game here.

Davis is hosting a two-day

school holiday programme at the Ashburton Golf Club for school students, with a big focus on introductions to the basics of golf and using it as a team sport.

“We have 27 kids here,” he said.

“Most of them come from one of the other programmes I have run, but there are lots of begin-

ners as well so there is a good mix of experience.

“There is also a good mixture of boys and girls.”

Davis said that the main focus of the two-day programme was to introduce the kids to the basics of golf in a fun way, but also showing it can be a team sport

and not just something done individually.

“It is about showing them that it is not something that has to be done individually,” he said.

The programme’s first day consisted of learning the basics of chipping and putting along with fun games, and they will take

those skills out on to the course today.

“They will go out on the golf course in their teams and play nine holes,” he said.

“We have purple tees for the juniors that they will play off and it will give them a taste of real golf.”
