POLICE SWOOP Around a dozen police vehicles, the dog squad and the armed offenders swarmed on a house in Alford Forest Road yesterday. Following an aggravated burglary on Wednesday night, police executed a search warrant at a property between James Street and Farm Road in the afternoon. The heavy police presence at-

tracted a lot of attention, with many locals contacting the Guardian to try and discover information on what was unfolding. A section of Alford Forest Road, which is one of Ashburton’s busiest roads, was partially closed to traffic by officers at around 1.50pm, and just before 2pm, the armed offenders squad descend-

ed on the house from a waiting area around the corner on Farm Road. A group of neighbours and onlookers gathered nearby to watch. A man who works nearby to where the operation took place told the Guardian that the whole process was quick with the police swooping in a methodical fashion.

“One minute there was nothing much happening and then the next minute there were all these police and the armed offenders around the place,” the man, who asked not to be named said. “It was pretty incredible to watch unfold.” Before the area was cleared at around 2.10pm, an officer was

seen assisting a woman, child and baby carrier from the house. When contacted yesterday, police were unable to provide any additional details on the operation, its outcome, or on the armed burglary the night prior. An officer at the scene said he was not authorised to comment when approached.

Police still seek help with dairy robbery By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Police are still seeking help from the public as they investigate an attempted robbery at Discounter Dairy. A 20 to 25-year-old blondhaired, European man, of slim build and around 170-175cm in height, pulled on a balaclava, armed himself with a tyre iron and threatened staff at the dairy on Alford Forest Road at around 9.30am on Saturday. The man wanted money from the staff at the dairy, but was unsuccessful and ran away emptyhanded, along Clark Street then down the alleyway between Clark Street and Allens Road. A police spokesperson said yesterday that enquiries were ongoing. “We would still appreciate any help from the public on who was involved or what happened,” they said. At the time of the incident the man was clean shaven with his hair cut short back and sides. He was wearing a dark blue, long sleeve sweatshirt, a white shirt, light-coloured skinny pants and flat-soled shoes. Police ask that anyone who recognises the man, or was in the area at the time of the incident and may have seen anything, contacts them at john.woolf@police.govt.nz. Alternatively, information can be passed on anonymously by calling Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111.

Mayor wants public transport options kept on radar By Sue NewmaN

Police advise they would still appreciate any help from the public on who was involved or what happened during an attempted dairy robbery on Saturday. PHOTO SUPPLIED

If there’s a chance to get Ashburton on the public transport radar, mayor Donna Favel is keen to take it. With a draft regional public transport plan for Canterbury up for submissions, Favel told her councillors at yesterday’s service delivery meeting that while Ashburton might not have a bus service today, that could well change in the not too distant future. Timaru city is working with Environment Canterbury to develop a new demand based service similar to Uber. The city is already served by scheduled services but the ondemand service is seen as a way of dealing with low and falling passenger numbers. The Uber style service will be trialled next year. Ashburton might sit outside the current public transportation plan, but that didn’t mean it should be forgotten. It should be kept on the radar and the best way of doing that was by making a submission to the plan and speaking to that submission, Favel said. “Looking now at urgency around climate change and petrol prices rising, a growing number of older people in our community, we should be speaking to our submission,” she said. Councillor Stuart Wilson

Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel agreed. “If they’re taking about it with Timaru, it’s logical we put our hand up and say we want to be consulted as part of the plan,” he said. And if someone had to speak at a hearing to keep Ashburton on the radar, then Favel said she was happy to put her hand up. Ashburton should be considered for future public transport pilot programmes if the Timaru trial was successful, Favel said. She’s also keen to have a daily Ashburton to Timaru and Ashburton to Christchurch public transport system introduced to provide options for both work commuters and day trippers. In its submission the council will also give its support in principle to a proposal to transition to using zero emission vehicles for public transport.

Ashburton’s public housing waiting lists short By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Eleven families in the Ashburton District are in limbo as they wait for their name to rise to the top of the list for public housing. Five of those families are rated

by the Ministry of Social Development as at risk and with housing needs that must be addressed immediately. The 11 families have all been assessed and are ready to be matched with a suitable property,

but like others on the MSD list around New Zealand, the wait for a home is long and growing. While waiting list numbers have more than doubled nationally over the past two years – 3877 in June 2016 and 8704 in June this

year, in Ashburton they have remained static. Numbers peaked over the past three years in Ashburton at 17 in December 2016, with 14 in September that year. Three new one bedroom units

Making money through the magic of music BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

No matter how many times they’ve walked out on stage in front of an audience of hundreds, three Ashburton women say they never tire of the magic of musical theatre. Jenny Beach, Susan Spencer and Penny Wilson have been an integral part of Ashburton’s musical theatre scene for decades and while they may no longer be stage stars, the three women are now using their talent and experience to raise money for a good cause, the Ashburton Trust Event Centre. Since the centre opened 10 years ago, the three, along with Margaret Jackson, have created several shows that draw on the best of local talent. And this year they’re well into rehearsals for another fundraiser. That’s What Music’s All About will open on November 23 with a cast of 19, people who’re just as passionate about music as they are. The home grown shows start in a small way, with an idea and a collection of songs that keeps changing until all three agree, Beach said. “They have to be songs we can work with, songs we know we can find people to sing,” she said. And those people, the cast of locals, keep putting their hand up show after show. This year, across the band and singers ages range from mid 30s to 89. “When I ring them to see if they’re keen, they always say ‘I know what you want’ and the answer is yes. The same people seem to be happy to do it again – and again,” Beach said. The shows are usually staged every second year. Each time they wrap up a show the three say it’s their last, but the ideas come and suddenly they find themselves with another

Checking out the score for their latest Ashburton Trust Event Centre fundraising show, That’s What Music’s All About (from left) musical director Penny Wilson and co-directors Jenny Beach and Susan Spencer. PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 111018-SN-0106 show on the go, Spencer said. “This time we did really decide we’d finished, but decided to do one more for the theatre’s 10 year anniversary. It’s about raising funds for the theatre, it’s a community effort.” Working with a cast they know well, a cast they’ve worked with many times makes the job of directing easy, she said. “We’ve got a great group and the men have some amazing harmonies. We just tighten it up a bit.

Musical director Wilson is working with a band of nine who, like the singers, are all regulars in the fundraising shows. “They’re great to work with. They come along to a couple of rehearsals and when they come back they can play every number.” Most don’t read music but are intuitive musicians, she said. The show opens with a cabaret style rendition of That’s What Music’s All About and includes a wide

selection of music from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. There are big hits from those eras, show-stoppers and songs the audience will want to sing along with. Over the years event centre manager Roger Farr said the shows have become an important component of his funding. Each show’s profits go towards new or replacement equipment, usually in the sound and lighting area. “Over the years they’ve raised quite a bit, it’s getting above

$25,000 and that sort of fundraising makes a huge difference for us.” He’s keeping his fingers crossed this show won’t be the trio’s last. “We very much appreciate what they do, it’s always great music, great dancing and the cast and the audience love it.” That’s What Music’s All About will be on stage in the Ashburton Trust Event Centre on November 23 and 24 at 7pm with a matinee performance on November 25.

Celebrating 40 years of friendship By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

It began as a bid to bring people together – and 40 years on, the legacy of the Methven Friendship Club is still well alive among its members. The club celebrated 40 years of friendship, memories, good outings and good food at an event on Thursday afternoon attended by more than 30 members. Reading from a record book, president Sue Jackson explained how the group came to be. “In October 1978 the first meeting of the Methven Friendship Club was held to bring people together for outings and entertainment, especially the elderly and those living alone.” Over the years members have regularly gathered for lunches, entertainment, trips around the South Island, Australia and the Norfolk Islands together. “We even staged a mock wedding once,” Jackson said. The group once had well over 120 members, she said, but numbers have slowly dropped over the years as it has become more common for husbands and wives to both work fulltime. However, that’s not to say they wouldn’t still welcome anyone keen to join. She said the group meets once a month, including annual traditions like the February picnic,

“There’s always someone in Methven doing something of interest,” she said. Three life members were in attendance yesterday, and dedi-

cated treasurer Anne Ridge was awarded another life membership for her work helping the club “stay on the straight and narrow”.

Another local Lotto win It might not have been the big one, but for some lucky Ashburtonian, life just got a whole lot better. When the Lotto numbers rolled out of the barrel on Wednesday night, they fell just about perfectly for one Ashburton Lotto player – five winning numbers plus the bonus ball equals $53,537. The ticket was sold at Ashburton New World and the local player shared the second division prize pool of $160,000. First division for both lotto and powerball have rolled over to Saturday. The other two winning second division prizes were sold to Lotto players in Silverdale and Auckland.

■ FIREARMS LAW FORUM

By Katie todd

In brief

interest in the subject, and varying stances on how the government should manage firearms. The government is currently reviewing the arms act, and Labour, NZ First and the Greens voted down an amendment bill that Bishop had put forward that would have given police more powers over gangs with firearms. At Tuesday’s meeting, there was healthy debate on how to target criminality and ensure

guns don’t fall into the wrong hands, while also recognising the rights of legitimate firearm users like farmers and hunters, MP for Rangitata Andrew Falloon said. “On the whole we have a pretty sensible attitude toward guns here, and that’s reflected in our laws and regulations. “We don’t have some of the issues that other countries have, but there’s clearly a need to en-

sure police have all the powers they require to go after gangs and other criminal organisations,” he said. Bishop plans to hold a total of 30 meetings around the country. “I’ll take the ideas back to Wellington and they’ll be included in our policy development for the next election in just two years,” he said. “It was good of Andrew to invite me down to let people in Ashburton have their say.”

A Christchurch factory is back in business just two days after a spectacular fire. The blaze damaged the roofs of four storage buildings at the Ravensdown fertiliser factory on Main South Rd, Hornby, on Tuesday morning. The fire, which damaged four out of Ravensdown’s 13 stores on its site, appears to have started during some maintenance work and spread along the roof line when a rubber conveyor belt ignited. Explosions could be heard and huge plumes of thick black smoke were seen across the city. Around 40 firefighters fought the blaze and stopped it just metres from a sulphur store. - NZME

■ BIG LITTLE THEATRE COMPANY

Murder mystery night has an Irish twist and a meal By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

The Big Little Theatre Company’s next fundraising venture will deliver dress-ups, death, a threecourse meal, a sprinkle of Irish charm and an opportunity for audiences to be part of a special performance. Senior members of the youth theatre group are holding a Murder Mystery night at the Plains Museum on October 27 to raise money for their trip to the UK next year. Karen Haugh on the organising committee said the show will be set in Dublin in the year 1983. Audiences will be introduced to struggling publican Seamus O’Malley, who is attempting to keep his business afloat by sponsoring a treasure hunt, and offering up the family gold as a prize. However, things go catastrophically awry when someone winds up dead. “People can come dressed in Irish attire and have a go at being a detective for the night,” she said. Prizes will be dished out to the best detectives, best dressed and best “back to the ’80s” themed teams, as well as a “don’t give up your day job award”. The trip for which BLTC members are raising funds for will see them flying to England next June, and indulging in three weeks of thespian immersion, working with the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and the Royal Academy of Performing Arts and performing in locations like Brighton and the Southbank Festival. Eighty tickets for the show, including a threecourse meal, are now available for $55 each. It is an R18 event. Tickets can be booked by contacting Haugh on 0274181222.

Law partner resigns A partner at a top law firm has resigned following an investigation into complaints about inappropriate comments made while drunk. Russell McVeagh board chairman Malcolm Crotty made the announcement yesterday. “A thorough investigation substantiates the complaints and the partner concerned has apologised and tendered his resignation,” Crotty said. “We are deeply disappointed in the partner at the centre of the investigation. “The partner concerned let the firm down and we have now

lost trust and confidence in him. The board determined that his conduct has fallen below our expected standards and we have accepted his resignation.” Crotty said there was no place for inappropriate conduct at the firm but he was encouraged that staff had spoken up despite the circumstances. The firm was committed to changing the culture of the organisation, he said. “We all recognise that change requires collective and longterm commitment. All partners in the firm agreed to uphold and lead the change.”

He said the firm had arranged to meet with the New Zealand Law Society. Former litigation lawyer and industry whistleblower Olivia Wensley said the Law Society isn’t doing enough by letting these partners step down. “Not a single lawyer to date has been disbarred or censured as a result. I think the society is being extremely negligent and so slow to resolve these issues,” she said. “Young women are being put at risk every day when they’re working with these known predators.” - NZME

■ ASHBURTON REAL ESTATE

House prices rise, fall Ashburton’s house prices have been on a rollercoster ride over the past year. In September 2017 the median sales price was $310,000, rising to $360,000 in August before slumping again to $335,000 last month. The month on month price drop, at 6.9 per cent was the most marked in Canterbury, but was followed closely by Waimate, 6.5 per cent. Over the past year, however, Ashburton’s prices were amongst those showing the greatest lift in Canterbury, 8 per cent. During September 43 houses

were sold, up from 35 in September 2017, but down on August this year, 48. Across Canterbury, the average number of days taken to sell a home was 38, up on the September average of 33. The current property inventory sits at 20 weeks, two weeks more than the same time last year. Selwyn has the highest median sales price at $550,000 and Waimate the lowest, $231,000. REINZ figures show that New Zealand’s median house price is now $556,000.

■ MAINZEAL COURT CASE

Shipley has her say Former Prime Minister Jenny Shipley has taken the stand in the high-profile case against directors of failed property company Mainzeal. Shipley took the oath in the Auckland High Court, but spoke for only 10 minutes before the court broke for lunch. Shipley led New Zealand between December 1997 and December 1999 and left Parliament in 2002. She was a director of Mainzeal from 2004 until February 2013 and chair of the company when receivers were appointed in February 2013. Liquidators acting for creditors argue the directors were “reckless” in not pulling the plug on the company earlier. Unsecured creditors, including many sub-contractors working on Mainzeal projects, were owed more than $115 million when the company collapsed. Evidence from earlier in the trial suggested there were warning signs about company finances as early as 2004, and that the company was technically insolvent in 2010. Lawyers for liquidators BDO argue directors breached their obligations somewhere between

Dame Jenny Shipley has given evidence in the High Court. January 2011 and July 2011 - two years before they put the company into liquidation. But Shipley and the other directors, who include former Brierley Investments boss Paul Collins and Richard Yan, head of Mainzeal owner Richina Pacific, argue there was no reckless or illegitimate trading. As Shipley told the court yesterday morning: “I consider the

board of Mainzeal was diligent and careful, in the circumstances we faced at the time. We kept the interests of Mainzeal’s creditors, employees and customers firmly in mind at all times and endeavoured to protect their interests and avoid loss.” Shipley will read her evidence over the next couple of days and is likely to be cross-examined on Monday. - NZME

Stink over dead possum Ray Liddall was dropping her 7-year-old niece off at a Napier school when she spotted it — a very large, very dead possum hanging feet down from a palm tree. It had been killed by a remarkably effective Napier City Council trap, but Liddall, who was at Nelson Park School for a holiday programme at 8.30am on Wednesday, wasn’t so happy at its public demise. “I’m all for pest control, but seeing a very large adult possum hanging by its neck is a bit much,” Liddall said. “I would hate to think how many kids saw that.” Liddall, whose partner alerted her to it, said she was lucky she was able to shield her niece’s eyes. “If she had seen it, she would have had nightmares.” She said if the trap had to be placed in the tree, which is directly outside the school gate, then the council should ensure pests were removed before kids arrived in the morning. A Napier City Council spokesman said traps were the best option in the urban environment, where they can be easily monitored. The traps were generally checked early each morning, as most traps were triggered dur-

ing the night, he said. “Poison in busy urban areas, like the Nelson Park area is not advisable as there is risk of pets getting secondary poisoning. ” Between 12 to 15 traps (a mix of Possum Master and Timms Traps) are used by the council around Napier, where the control of possum numbers is required. The one used outside the primary school is a Possum Master kill trap. The council was investigating whether to start using traps with sensors, which sent a message when triggered, the spokesman said. Later in the day, the possum had been removed. - NZME

■ UNITED STATES

‘Like a war zone’ Hurricane Michael barrelled into the Florida Panhandle with winds of 250km/h yesterday, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake, as it became the most powerful storm to ever hit the region – and the fourth strongest to make landfall in the United States. Roads were flooded, trees uprooted and homes were destroyed after the “monstrous” storm ploughed into Mexico Beach at just before 2pm local time and swept across the state. At least one man has been killed after a tree crashed through the roof of his Greenboro home and trapped him. Emergency crews were heading to the home, but downed power lines and blocked roads were making the trip difficult. Officials hadn’t immediately confirmed the man’s name. More than 311,000 homes and businesses in Florida, Georgia and Alabama have also been left without power, according to local power companies. The storm came ashore as a category 4 hurricane on the five-step Saffir-Simpson wind scale, before it was downgraded to a category 3. By 8pm, it was down to a category 1. The winds were so strong they brought down a billboard in Florida’s Panama City, tore down a Texaco gas pumping station canopy in Inlet Beach, and the storm surge completely knocked a house off its foundations in Mexico Beach. Beachfront structures could be seen collapsing and metal roofing materials were blown away amid the heavy rain. Footage shows other homes and cars submerged in flood waters as the hurricane battered the Sunshine State. Michael had top sustained winds of 250 km/h as its core moved over Florida’s Panhandle earlier in the afternoon as

Badger’s double-dump Breaking all the rules, The Bachelor’s Nick Cummins has turned his back on love by dumping both finalists on the finale, choosing to go home alone after wasting everyone’s time. He’s double-dumped. That phrase already sounds unfortunate. But the narrative behind this story is even more unforgivable. Brittany Hockley and Sophie Tieman were dumped in New Caledonia after being led on for two months. Both breakups are excruciating to watch, but Britt’s is particularly painful. “What a giant waste of time that was,” Brittany says, identifying the exact sentiment of the nation.

Taylor Swift cleans up

Hurricane Michael, a category 4 storm, has slammed into Florida and is the strongest hurricane to ever hit the Florida panhandle. forecasters warned rain could reach up to a foot and the lifethreatening storm surge could swell to four metres.

just want somebody to shake you and wake you up. “How can this happen? “I am hearing on TV, as all of us go home, it will be like a war zone,” she added. “That’s the only thing I can imagine.” Reid Garrett warned that every single building he’d seen in Panama City, had damage. The National Weather Service says tornadoes are pos-

sible across the Florida Panhandle, southeast Georgia and southern South Carolina as the hurricane now moves inland. More than 375,000 people had been urged or ordered to evacuate, but emergency authorities lamented that many people ignored the warnings and seemed to think they could ride it out. - PA

Taylor Swift has kicked off her week with a rare political post on social media, and at the American Music Awards she continued the conversation by encouraging fans to vote in the upcoming midterm elections. Swift won artist of the year at the fan-voted show in Los Angeles, beating out Drake, Ed Sheeran and Imagine Dragons for the top prize. “This award and every single award given out were voted on by the people, and you know what else is voted on by the people,” she said, “The midterm elections on November 6.” Swift had announced that she was voting for Tennessee’s Democratic Senate candidate Phil Bredesen.

Woman spent £16 million at Harrods The woman at the centre of a McMafia style financial investigation, who spent more than £16 million ($32.6m) at Harrods, can be revealed as Zamira Hajiyeva – the wife of a jailed Azerbaijani banker. The 55-year-old, who has lived in Knightsbridge, London, for more than a decade, is the subject of the UK’s first unexplained wealth order (UWO), amid allegations that she used stolen money to fund her lavish lifestyle. As well as spending more than £16 million in the Harrods department store over a 10 year period, Hajiyeva owns

a five-bedroom house worth £15 million and also bought the Mill Ride golf and country club in Ascot for £10.5 million. Her husband, Jahangir Hajiyev, is the former chairman of the state-owned International Bank of Azerbaijan, who was sentenced to 15 years in jail in 2016 for defrauding the bank out of £2.2 billion ($4.5b). Her identity had been shrouded in mystery after the courts agreed to protect her anonymity throughout the UWO process. But following a challenge by media organisations, the Court of Appeal agreed to lift the cloak of secrecy.

Zamira Hajiyeva The National Crime Agency alleges that Hajiyev used fraudulent funds to purchase her home which is just a short walk from the famous Harrods department store. It was alleged that she paid a deposit of £4 million for the

house in 2009 and had cleared her £7.4 million mortgage in just five years. Documents lodged at the High Court stated: “The NCA’s enquiries have not identified evidence which otherwise suggests (contrary to Home Office records) that R1 [Mrs Hajiyev] has been a succcessful businesswoman or entrepreneur in her own right or that she has received significant income from other sources.” The document went on: “There are no grounds to suspect that any income originating from Mr Hajiyev was not lawfully obtained.” - PA

Young Bowie written off A new documentary, David Bowie: The First Five Years, reveals how wrong some BBC talent scouts were when he first started out. In 1965, David Bowie’s band, the Lower Third, auditioned for the BBC’s radio air time. The band, and especially Bowie, did not impress. Some of the comments by judges include: “Singer not particularly exciting. Routines dull. I can’t find fault with them musically – but there is no entertainment in anything they do.” The revelations are part of a documentary to mark the 50th anniversary of the release of Bowie’s track Space Oddity.

October

IS A GOOD TIME TO ... Henri Ham

AWAPUNI NURSERIES

www.awapuni.co.nz

Plant whatever takes your fancy! If you’re a beginner gardener there’s never been a better month than in October to give it a go! Plant your summer veges and herbs now. Plant beans, peas, lettuce, zucchini, basil and tomatoes. New crops you’ll see at my house this summer are Parisian market carrots (small round baby carrots), kamo kamo (similar to a short fat zucchini), red spring onions and sugar snap peas. Also add some colour to your garden with flowers. Again, selections are endless at this time of the year. For beginners I suggest looking at alyssum, lobelia and some poppies. Once they’re planted, water regularly and add mulch in dry areas. It’s also a good time to fertilise your lawns as well as garden beds. Sprinkle a good general fertiliser on your garden and lawns in areas that you really want to thrive. Fertiliser on your lawn works best if its dissolved, so make sure it’s about to rain when you put it on. If you’re wanting to increase growth, add blood and bone mix. Adding iron sulphate will help sort out the mossy areas of your lawn. And a broad leaf weed killer will destroy any weeds. Once the gaps from the old weeds are showing it’s time to sow some new grass seed. This will take a couple of weeks. And remember with all your planting others will also have their eyes on your prize. Watch out for slugs, snails, butterflies and birds. Use a bird netting over your vege garden to protect your crops. Often the wait and see approach can be too late!

Friday, October 12, 2018

Truly the ‘beast in class’

he current International Ute of the Year, the Volkswagen Amarok, has seen a new addition to the range with the Amarok V6 190kw Aventura. Last year marked the introduction of the upgraded 3.0l V6 engine, refined from other Volkswagen Group vehicles, including the Porsche Cayenne, Audi A6, A7 and Q7, and Volkswagen’s own Touareg. 165kW (180kW on overboost), 550Nm and 0-100kph in 7.9 seconds were the standout stats. Today, the new alpha wolf steps out of the pack, delivering 190kW (200kW on overboost), 0-100kph in 7.3 seconds and a class-leading 580Nm of torque in the topof-the-line Aventura model derivative. Tom Ruddenklau, General Manager for Volkswagen New Zealand said; “Despite being available to Kiwis for less than a decade, the Amarok design (originally based on the same design DNA as the legendary Golf) has become grounded in what already seems to have become something of an iconic status amongst existing owners. “The introduction of our new charttopping model will only bolster such a position. “The short evolution of the Volkswagen Amarok has provided us with some incredible product highlights, but more important have been the stories we hear day after day of Kiwis falling more in love with their Amarok.” The 190kW engine also comes with the overboost function to 200kW and an increased torque range to 3250 rpm with 580Nm. The new engine DDXE has modified pistons and new software which are crucial to deliver that significant outcome. Next to the engine, the most significant specification upgrade is the new speed-

sensitive Servotronic Steering. The steering is hydraulically operated but electronically controlled, which makes for a very effective hybrid system. At lower speeds the system creates more pressure than the previous steering, and at higher speeds less pressure than before.

Already referenced as ‘as easy to steer as a Polo’, this new steering system provides effortless steering for parking manoeuvres, easier handling of the vehicle around town, improved road contact at higher speeds, and overall increased agility for sporty driving.

The combination of the new engine with the new steering system brings the Amarok V6 190kw Aventura to total new level of driving performance. Truly ‘beast-in-class’. Available now at Miles Continental Volkswagen, Christchurch.

Escort now a six-figure classic

orget vintage watches, fine wine and rare jewellery – if you want a rapidly appreciating asset what you need right now is a Fast Ford from 20 to 40 years ago. Further evidence of their rocketing value emerged at the weekend when versions of two of the most iconic models sold for world record fees. Silverstone Auctions revealed that a 1972 Ford Escort RS1600 was purchased at one of its sales last week for £70,875 ($NZ143,800) – the most anyone has ever paid for this particular model. The second Fast Ford to become the most expensive of its type was a 1990 Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth 4x4, with the winning bidder forking out a massive £52,750 – over $40,000 more than auctioneers thought it would make. The new world record purchases were made at the September Sale auction held at Dallas Burston Polo Club in Southam just outside of Royal Leamington Spa. Stealing the ‘lime’light was this lumi-

nous green Mk1 Escort RS1600 – a car that has become a real collectors item in recent years. It’s thought that Ford originally only produced 1137 of them in total, all of which used a detuned Formula 3 1.6-litre powerplant and were built at the car maker’s famed Ford Advanced Vehicle Operations facility in Essex. As well as higher performance engines

and sports suspension, the RS1600 also featured a strengthened bodyshell to make it the ideal rallying tool. And that’s what most were used for, with plenty being bent beyond repair in the process. Fast Ford historians believe there are fewer than 50 RS1600s registered or on SORN in the UK today. And not all surviving examples will be in

pristine condition. The assumption is that the vast majority have been extensively raced, exported, or just lived a hard life at the hands and feet of enthusiastic owners. That means it’s a real rarity to find a road car in as incredible condition as this one. It was first registered in Britain on February 11 1972 and was purchased by the current owner as a restoration project so it could form part of a glimmering collection. The odometer is reading just 3525 miles, though it is understood that this is the total mileage covered since this car underwent its ground-up rebuild not too long ago. The Le Mans Green paintwork is superb with excellent shut lines – a failing of some reconditioned models you might find elsewhere – and has been completed to what Silverstone Auctions says is ‘a very high standard’. The interior is completely original and correct, and the engine bay is spotless – more reason for it to shatter the previous record fee paid for one. The eclipsed figure for an Escort RS1600 road car was set in July 2016 when one was sold in Australia for $118,000.

Anyone for Polo?

he Volkswagen Polo GTI R5 has a new look. The final livery for the 200-kW (272-PS) rally car is a reinterpretation of the spectacular optics that were also realised in the Golf GTI TCR touring car. “The Polo GTI R5 looks really exciting,” said Volkswagen Motorsport Director Sven Smeets, about the four-wheel drive car for rally customers. Nico Mühr, Exterior Design Volkswagen, describes the dynamic look of the Polo GTI R5: “We purposely used many of the design elements from the production vehicles of the GTI family for the Polo GTI R5. It is the GTI icons with their honeycomb structure in particular that give the rally Polo its distinctive look. Ultimately, the Polo GTI R5, despite its extreme rally look, remains clearly identifiable as – no doubt the fastest – member of the Polo family.” The bonnet conceals a 1.6-litre turbo engine with direct injection, which enables the four- door car weighing just under 1230 kilos to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds.

Ultimate in refinement J

ustifiably there’s lots of emphasis now put on vehicles’ safety features and ratings. But the vast improvements to the safety of one most important items, the windscreen, doesn’t seem to feature much. Well I, and more especially the front seat passenger, certainly appreciate the safety aspects of this new CX-8’s laminated screen after an on-coming truck flicked up a rather large stone. A stone that, very loudly, hit the left side of the windscreen. Quite amazingly, other than giving all aboard one hell of a fright, the damage was limited to a golfball-size circle on the outer glass layer and without any sign of star-like cracks. Needless to say, all CX-8s also come loaded with Mazda’s latest i-ACTIVSENSE safety technologies. These include radar-cruise, lane departure/keep assist, blind spot monitoring,cross-traffic alerts and automatic emergency braking. This “five plus two” seat, diesel only CX8, the first even numbered SUV in Mazda’s latest range, slots in between the five seat CX-5 (petrol or diesel) and slightly larger, turbo-petrol, seven seat CX-9. It’s stylish and, with those seven seats, offers spacious versatility within its still relatively neat dimensions. There are two GSX models (in either 2WD or AWD), and the AWD Limited as driven. From and including the front doors for-

ward the CX-8’s architecture is pretty much identical to its latest model, CX-5 siblings. However then heading rearwards its 400mm longer, with pleasing looks and its own individual style. This extra length allows for the third row of two seats, which when not being used stow very neatly in the luggage area floor, from where they also neatly arise when needed to be adult friendly for shorter trips. And even better for those of less height (Mazda suggests 175cm) for longer drives. The second row offers lots of comfort, and heated seats for two (complete with a large fold down armrest), or three if needed. The seats split 60/40 and slide back and forward and their design means they can easily be operated by smaller fry to get in the third row. With all seats in use there’s 209 litres of luggage space, increasing to a really impressive 742 litres as a five seater. The Limited has a power tail-gate. Unsurprisingly, when sitting behind the wheel, with minor exceptions it feels pretty much the same as being in the recently upgraded CX-5. Which means its very comfortable, uncluttered and user friendly. Both models come with an excellent headup display, three-zone climate aircon, and sat-nav. The Limited’s Nappa leather and real wood furnishings, heated steering wheel and stunning 10-speaker Bose premium audio system combine to complete the

overall feeling of refinement. Under the bonnet is the latest version of the 2.2-litre Skyactiv-D turbo diesel, producing 140kW and 450Nm torque at 2000rpm. This was very quiet while performing domestic duties and effortless at cruise. But then, when you really put your foot down, it delivers a very acceptable sound to match your rate of acceleration. Like when its 0-100kmh figures (just over nine seconds!) are being explored. Do this and rather obviously expectations of achieving the stated 6L/100km won’t happen. But the overall figure for my drive-time was 7.3l/100km. Which these days, even when factoring in RUCs will likely appeal, especially to those doing lots of kilometres. The handling proved very predictable and tidy, thanks to both the fully automated all-wheel-drive and smart G-Vectoring Control system. But being, taller, longer and heavier with a 200mm ground clearance, means it expectedly can’t match the CX-5’s excellent sporty demeanour.

FINALE This versatile seven seat, CX-8 with its economical diesel that is equally at home around town or on the open road, clearly continues Mazda’s less-is-more design philosophy. It’s likely to appeal to those needing more seats than the CX-5 has, but don’t wish to up-size completely to the CX-9.

xCity a proven winner T

he xCity – the “Landrover of ebikes” according to one of the dealers – is the e-bike that will boogie its way off the showroom floors this summer. In many respects, it is the ideal e-bike, these are xCiting times! Smartmotion is New Zealand brand that actually designs their bikes here, and the ‘old’ eCity has become one of those bikes that seems to be just everywhere, and is the bike that many associate with e-bike. Many importers have tried the crossover genre, especially as New Zealanders love mountain bikes. Go into any bike shop and they dominate, because that is what sells. What is unique about xCity is that it is a step through frame, mid drive, has good wheels, tyres, brakes, lights, racks, mudguards … and it just all works! The frame is stiff enough to give confidence (far less wobbly than some step-throughs), and the beefy 27.5×2.35 Schwalbe Nobby Nic tyres give you heaps of grip and comfort. The Dapu mid-drive is new to Smartmotion (and indeed anywhere). Dapu has been Smartmotion’s motor supplier since forever, and this unit is compact and plenty grunty enough. A prototype was sent the length of New Zealand and stripped down afterwards – good as new. The generous 15.6Ah (560Wh) battery sits inside the rear rack like most stepthroughs. On all manner of rough terrain we didn’t find that this unbalanced the bike (testing was done on Rotorua trails over a longweekend). On fast flowing Grade 2 trails (not it’s target environment!) it handled just fine, except when there were rapid up-down motions, in which case slowing down a wee bit fixed it. This was a robust test (the things we do for you!) and in reality the bike handled far better than expected so it is by no means a criticism. The Tektro hydraulic brakes were great on some steepish downhills, and the Shimano Deore 10-speed gears worked well with plenty of spread. There is a sensor that backs the motor off a bit when you shift, so no crunching of gears. It has similar lighting treatment to the Pacer – good forward lights and cool-looking LED’s running down the rack stays. It also has the useful Smartmotionunique cadence/torque mode switching, which is a nice feature. If I had to pick out some weak points, it

e-bike reviews are courtesy of NZ Electric Bike Review

and has regular mudguards, chainguard and Big Ben tyres. The replacement for the eCity is still a hub drive – available in step-through and diamond configurations. Overall, this is one of the most fun bikes we have used. It absolutely ‘nails it’ in terms of fun, utility and versatility. Would highly recommend. RRP $3899. Available in two colours, sand and green (as pictured).

Who should buy this bike?

Anyone wanting a step through frame that is versatile. It’s not only a ladies’ bike! Can do rail trails and other Grade 1-2 trails (eg Waikato River Trail). Timber Trail might be a bit of a stretch, but still do-able.

Who shouldn’t buy this bike?

is that the mudguards were a bit short to fully protect the rider from crud. That however needs to be offset against not snagging up when it gets a bit muddy, and clearly a conscious decision. I also found that on occasion the thumb throttle was easy to knock. I discussed this aspect with Smartmotion, and they did it because of feedback that twist throttles could have bikes accidentally do wheelies in front of their riders

(and we have seen that happen with twist throttles bikes, it’s very funny to watch but not ideal). One thing to consider if you are going to do frequent commuting is that the tyres (while great) are not puncture resistant. They are regular good-quality MTB tyres and a great choice as such. Also newly minted is the midCity – a similar bike with commuting tendencies. The midCity frame is slightly less stiff

All you will use it for is commuting. You are better off with smooth punctureresistant tyres and full mudguards. Get the midCity or eCity. You really want an eMTB. Buy one – the Hypersonic being a good choice and a notwildly-different price point.

What else should you consider? This bike is unique, really! visit electricbikesnz.com

Emma eyes podium

third place on the season’s podium is within Emma Gilmour’s sights at this Saturday’s final round of the Brian Green Property Group New Zealand Rally Championship – the Hyundai NZ Raglan Rally of the Coast. She and co-driver Anthony McLoughlin will be doing their best to maximise their points in the Vantage Windows and Doors Suzuki Swift AP4 over the approximately 177km of special stages. They have 76 points in the bank following the fifth round and will be fighting for the last spot on the podium with Josh Marston, Nathan Quinn and Matt Sum-

merfield, all of whom are within nine points of each other. There is a maximum of 25 points on offer for the day, plus a bonus five points for the power stage. Hayden Paddon, who is competing this weekend, had already wrapped up the championship at the penultimate round in August and sits on 147 points, while Ben Hunt’s 107 points’ haul has set him in good stead for second place. “We want to finish on a high and will be giving it everything to bring home the third-place trophy,” Emma says. “The Te Akau stages would have to be among my all-time favourites, from when they were part of Rally New Zealand.

Diesel Commodore debut

olden, with this first-ever diesel Commodore, which comes in both Liftback ($48,990) and Sportwagon ($50,990) bodystyles, originaly suggested that it will likely find particular favour with fleet operators. Their rationale – it’s a large and comfortable vehicle which provides effortless performance and all-round drivability thanks to its 2.0 litre turbo diesel’s 400Nm

of torque available from 1750rpm, its eight-speed auto and claimed overall 5.6 litres per 100km fuel efficiency. Then also, it has numerous passive and active safety aids and five-star ANCAP safety rating. So a return trip to Mosgiel seemed appropriate. Whereupon this very easy driving diesel’s combination of comfort, economy and ability to deliver an engaging driving experience were certainly appreciated. On such trips the navigator likes to either read or

use her i-Pad. However the ride and dynamics of some vehicles interupt this. But it was a definite thumbs up from her for the Commodore! Overall fuel use for the 650km driven was 5.8L/100km. While the appeal to fleet operators is obvious, this Commodore’s comfort, economy and cruising abilities should also appeal to, and be considered by private, high annual km driving buyers.

Long, hard yards finally paying off T

here’s something quite endearing about the tale of local horse trainer Alister Lowe and his mare, Perseverance Road. It’s a tale of a battler, going against the odds and trying to come up trumps. A tale of a horse that many others would have tossed to one side and put in the too-hard basket. A tale of true Kiwi patience. You see, Perseverance Road is a far cry from being the epitome of the perfect racehorse. At 13 years of age, she would seem better suited to spending her days producing foals, or

buried head down in a nice lush paddock full of grass. Instead she’s about to begin her racing career – more than 10 years late compared to most harness racing horses here in New Zealand. Despite her naivety to the racing caper, she’s not fresh blood

on the scene. She’s been kicking around the Mid Canterbury traps for years, competing at the noncompetitive workouts and trials around the district all in an effort to ready her for the big occasion which is a trip to the actual races. Most horses would head to the workouts or trials about half a dozen times before they step out at the races, but bonny little Perseverance Road has been a grand total of 139 times. So, she knows the winning post from the starting tape, that’s for sure. Many will probably look at

Lowe at the weekend and wonder what on earth he’s up too and ask why a 13-year-old mare has been persevered with for so long – but when the pair step out onto the Methven track at the weekend, they’ll already be winners before the race even starts. What the story of the little mare does tell us, is that there’s always a bit of hope. That no matter what obstacles are thrown in your direction, if you’ve got an end goal – keep trying until you get there. Chances are that we won’t see Perseverance Road and Lowe competing on some of the big-

gest racing stages in New Zealand, but a spot on Methven Cup day might just feel like it. There will have to have been times where it’s all seemed a little pointless and like there isn’t much reason to go on, but they’ve stuck at it and what happens now lies in the hands of fate. Win, lose or draw on Sunday, the story of Perseverance Road is already a great one. She might not be the fastest horse, but you can guarantee there won’t be many more horses cheered loudly for than her this weekend.

Today’s highlight in history: In 1492 (according to the Old Style calendar), Christopher Columbus’ expedition arrived in the present-day Bahamas. On this date: In 1792, the first recorded US celebration of Columbus Day was held to mark the tricentennial of Christopher Columbus’ landing. In 1870, General Robert E. Lee died in Lexington, Virginia, at age 63. In 1942, during World War Two, American naval forces defeated the Japanese in the Battle of Cape Esperance.

Reporting an accident is not narking. Imagine how you would feel if this was your car and you didn’t get any details of the offending driver’s vehicle or any witnesses.

To nark or not to nark? T

he more I thought about it the more I felt like a nark. I witnessed a crime on Sunday, nothing life threatening, but one that irked me enough to do something about it. A local supermarket carpark was the scene of the crime. We had just finished packing the groceries into the car boot, Manda had already hopped in the car and I was just about to gracefully slip behind the steering wheel when I heard a thud, scrape and then another scrape. I knew straight away what it was! A misjudged entry into a park. I looked over my shoulder to see a people mover backing out of a park two rows behind us. I didn’t want to be ‘that’ guy who stood and stared at their misfortune. Everybody makes mistakes right! I jumped in the pilot’s seat but decided to watch what happened in the rear vision mirror. The driver of the people mover, lined things up much

sure I was going to find some by the volume of the ‘thud scrape’. Sure enough a couple of dents and scrape marks were clearly visible. Maybe they were going to get a pen and paper instore? I wasn’t taking any chances so wrote a note of my own, including what happened, the rego plate of the people mover and my contact details. Half an hour later I received a call from a lady thanking me for the note. She said she noticed the dings when she was approaching the car and thought to herself, ‘I wonder when that happened’. She told me the people mover had gone by the time she had finished her shop, so without the note she would have been none the wiser. She was off to the insurance company on Monday to see what her next move was. I reiterated that I was happy to be a witness if needed. My feelings of being a nark

better on his second attempt at the park. I automatically thought the couple in the car would get out of their car and have a look at the damage they inflicted and then go about leaving a note on the car they had just bashed. But NO! They both beelined it for the supermarket doors. At least the wife had a guilty scope around of the carpark for witnesses, the husband gave nothing away. Hang on a second! The very least they could have done was have a look at the damage they had caused. I asked Manda to find a pen and paper, while I went to investigate the damage myself. I was

had now eased somewhat and were replaced with relief. I was relieved that I had been irked enough by their actions to do something about it. Hearing the lady say “I’m SO glad you left me that note” killed off any remaining Narking doubts I had left. So I guess the reason for writing about this incident is to share a message. We all make mistakes and god knows I’ve made some howlers, but do what’s right afterwards, because you never know who’s watching eh?

■ SHAREMARKET CRASH

‘No need to panic’ Investors are being urged not to panic on the back of the New Zealand share market’s biggest decline in more than six months. The S&P/NZX 50 fell nearly 2.6 per cent yesterday after a slide on Wall St overnight led by technology stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 3.2 per cent. Australia’s S&P/200 index was down 1.8 per cent. Of the top 50 New Zealand local stocks, 47 were in the red, while just three remained unchanged. New Zealand’s benchmark index is heading for its ninth straight decline, due largely to the US Federal Reserve’s track for higher interest rates pushing yields on US government bonds higher. The yield on US 10-year Treasuries has been at a seven-year high and closed at 3.17 per cent. In contrast, New Zealand’s 10year government bond recently traded at a yield of 2.67 per cent.

Growth stocks were the among hardest hit yesterday. A2 Milk Co dropped 6.7 per cent to $9.53, Pushpay Holdings sank 6.2 per cent to $3.50 and Synlait Milk fell 5.4 per cent to $9.15. All three have been among the best performers in the past two years, up 23 per cent, 18 per cent and 30 per cent respectively over the past 12 months. Rickey Ward, the NZ equity manager at JBWere, said there’s been a re-rating of growth stocks that’s underpinned the pullback. While it’s easy to paint a negative picture, Ward said the local market is still up for the year – at around 5 per cent. “A short-term trader has to be prepared to be whiplashed every now and then. “But a long-term investor shouldn’t be too concerned at the current time,” he said.

Bezos loses billions The world’s wealthiest people have taken a huge hit as plunging global markets chopped billions off their fortunes. According to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index, the 500 wealthiest people lost a combined $99 billion – the year’s second-steepest-one-day drop. Amazon founder, and world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos suffered the biggest loss of anyone on the index. Bezos lost $9.1b as shares in the e-commerce giant fell by more than 6 per cent, the most in more than two years. - NZME

Food prices easing New Zealand food prices eased in September, led by cheaper fruit and vegetables, including a 45 per cent fall in lettuce prices. Food prices eased 0.1 per cent in September, but were up 0.3 per cent after seasonal adjustment. Lettuce prices fell to an average $1.81 for a 500g head, from $3.26 in August and an all-time high of $5.42 in July when the weather had been poor, Statistics New Zealand said. “Since then we’ve had two major price falls, which meant lettuce prices reached an unseasonably low level this September,” consumer prices manager Geraldine Duoba said. - NZME

Sharesies, urged investors not to panic. “Most New Zealanders will be seeing this in their KiwiSaver accounts but it’s a matter of realising that it is long-term money. “For us we are just reiterating don’t panic. “If you are confident that you are diversified and in for the long-term it is a time for buying rather than selling. “Stay the course you still own the same companies you owned yesterday.” Roberts predicted volatility in the markets would continue but said that was more a return to normal levels after a low level of volatility. “We have seen unprecedented levels of low volatility.” Roberts described the fall as a slight correction and said he hoped markets would recover similar to what had happened in February and March this year after a dip also sparked by rising bond yields. - NZME

Tech shares take a pounding

lobal markets saw some upheaval this week, especially mid-week with Wall Street experiencing a sharp correction, due to fresh concerns surrounding the trade war with China and worries of rapidly rising interest rates sent Wall Street into sell-off mode. Tech shares were particularly hard hit, with the Nasdaq Composite index suffering its worst day in seven years. With equity markets in the US having run so hard and valuations looking stretched in places, many would argue a correction is not only overdue, but is healthy. The three main US indices remain in positive territory for the year to date (as at the time of writing). In other news, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) dropped its global growth forecast for 2018 and 2019 to 3.7 per cent from 3.9 per cent, while keeping the US growth forecast for 2018 unchanged at 2.9 per cent, but reduced its 2019 growth forecast down to 2.5 per cent, citing trade conflicts. The IMF also sounded the alert on the global trade war saying it could take a significant bite out of global growth. Locally our benchmark NZX 50 Index has seen a series of daily falls so far this month, and is down 3.2 per cent over the past eight days (as at the time of writing). However, the local bourse is still currently up 7.8 per cent for the year to date. At a company level, Fonterra, the world’s biggest exporter

of dairy, has cut its 2018/2019 forecast Farmgate Milk Price from $6.75 per kgMS to a range of $6.25 – $6.50 per kgMS. While this is a downgrade to farmer suppliers, it is more positive for Fonterra as it effectively lowers their key input cost, milk. Retirement village operator, Summerset, announced that it has purchased an eight-hectare property in Papamoa Beach, which will be its first Tauranga retirement village. The company wants to build a 280-unit village on the site, offering two- and three-bedroom villas and serviced apartments, a care centre and rest home with hospital-level care and a memory care centre. In Australia, Ramsay Generale de Sante, the French subsidiary of Australia’s Ramsay Health Care increased its offer for Swedish healthcare group Capio to 8.19bn Swedish kronor, having seen an earlier bid dismissed. The new offer is 20 per cent higher than the previous offer and has been endorsed by the Capio board. In Australian economic data, the NAB business conditions index improved for September and appears to have stabilised after declining earlier in the year. Business confidence also

ticked higher, to be around its long-run average. While conditions remain broadly favourable across industries, the retail industry remains the weakest, driven by a subdued outlook for the consumer and ongoing structural changes in the sector. Turning back to global markets, the beginning of the global reporting season for the third quarter is set to begin. As always, some of the banking heavyweights in the US will be among the first to report results. Very impressive earnings growth has been a key reason for the strong performance from equity markets in 2018, particularly in the US. Based on current forecasts, the S&P 500 is expected to deliver another healthy quarter in this regard, the third strongest since 2011 (behind the March and June quarters of this year). Overall earnings growth (relative to the same period a year ago) is forecast to be 19.3 per cent, with energy, financials and materials predicted to see the biggest gains. We will be watching for any evidence or commentary on the impact of trade tariffs, a stronger US dollar, higher interest rates and the effect of increasing wage and cost pressures on profit margins round its long-run average.

In brief

Lofty goals for McDonald winner and the class act in the race,” McDonald said. “He’s got all the right attributes to be the next big thing in Australian racing.” McDonald has a full book of rides at Caulfield and also rides favoured runners Smart Melody in the Gr.1 Thousand Guineas (1600m), Hartnell in the Gr.1 Toorak Handicap (1600m) and D’Argento in the Gr.1 Caulfield Stakes (2000m). “It’s a big day coming up with those four Group One rides that are all well in the market,” McDonald said. “I had a few to pick from in the Everest but I thought I was better off going to Caulfield and it probably couldn’t have worked out any better. “These are time-honoured Group One races. “It would be great to win the Everest but it would be great to win a Caulfield Guineas too. “I’m looking forward to the day.” McDonald won the 2014 Caulfield Guineas on Shooting To Win and was at Caulfield on Tuesday to ride the Chris Waller-trained

James McDonald has turned his back on a chance to win Saturday’s $13 million The Everest (1200m) in Sydney for a chance to scale even greater heights in Melbourne. The Sydney-based Kiwi hoop is the form jockey in Sydney, riding five winners at Warwick Farm on Wednesday, but despite having the choice of a handful of Everest runners, he will ride on Saturday at Caulfield, where his four Group One mounts include the $2 million Caulfield Guineas favourite Autumn Sun who is now part-owned by Arrowfield Stud after they purchased a 50 per cent share for an undisclosed sum this week. A winner of four of his five starts, Redoute’s Choice colt Autumn Sun won the Gr.1 JJ Atkins (1600m) in Brisbane last winter and added a second Group One scalp in the $1 million Golden Rose (1400m) at Rosehill last month to be the $1.90 favourite for Saturday’s 1600m stallionmaking feature. “He’s the most exciting and most expensive colt in Australia. He’s already a dual Group One

James McDonald Autumn Sun as he bids for a second win in the race. “He cornered like a dream. “I don’t think there will be any excuses for him. There were a few doubts that he would get around Caulfield because he’s such a bigstriding horse but from what I felt, he’s pretty spot on,” McDonald said.

“Barrier five is a beautiful draw for him, though I wouldn’t have been bothered if he’d drawn wider out. “Because he’s such a bigstriding horse, I don’t really care where I am in running as long as he’s got galloping room.” McDonald was excited about the prospects of Smart Melody in the Thousand Guineas and had no concerns about the filly running out a strong 1600m. “She’ll run the mile on her ear,” he said. “It looks a nice race for her. She’s so adaptable. She can race on the speed and she’s got a turn of foot. “I’m pretty excited to be partnering her in that.” After his five winners at Warwick Farm on Wednesday – his third bag of five in Sydney – McDonald has 28 metropolitan wins this season, opening up a lead of eight on arch-rival Hugh Bowman. “It’s going pretty well for me. I even got to ride a double for Stephen Marsh at Gosford last week so that just proves it,” he quipped. - NZME

Guineas run on the line Cambridge trainer Stephen Marsh will get a better guide to his Classic prospects following tomorrow’s Matamata meeting. Marsh will saddle maiden filly Rip Em Up in the Fairview Motors Matamata. “She’s a well above average filly,” Marsh said. “She is really going places. She will go through the grades, but it is disappointing she has drawn wide again.” - NZME

Luke the X-factor Luke McCarthy expects his drive Mach Doro to pounce on the early lead in the Victoria Cup and thinks he can give the Group 1 race a big shake. Mach Doro is renowned for his blazing gate speed and his best hope is to cross them then take a sit and try for a sprint lane win. “That’s his go. I think I can cross, he’s very, very quick,” McCarthy said. Mach Doro led, took a trail on Tiger Tara and ran past him at Menangle two weeks ago. - HRNZ

Riccarton targeted A trip to Riccarton awaits progressive Matamata mare Livin’ On A Prayer if she proves competitive in Saturday’s Rich Hill Stud Taranaki Breeders’ Stakes at Hawera. Wayne Hillis has earmarked the last-start Avondale winner for a shot at the Coupland’s Mile at Riccarton on November 14 and wants to see her measure up to her fellow mares at weight-for-age this weekend. - NZME

In brief

■ RUGBY

Beaudie gets the nod The All Blacks greatest number 10 is backing incumbent Beauden Barrett in the first fiveeighth role and says the pressure from within the squad is only a good thing. Barrett was moved to fullback in the final quarter of the All Blacks’ remarkable comeback win over South Africa in Pretoria on Sunday with rookie All Black Richie Mo’unga coming off the bench into first five-eighth position. Mo’unga also took over the kicking duties from the two-time World Rugby player of the year which saw the Crusaders’ number 10 kick the winning conversion to complete the 32-30 win. Dan Carter said he was proud of the rise of former Crusaders team-mate Mo’unga, who has played four tests this year, but added that Barrett remains the number one. “I’m extremely proud of Richie and the way he’s progressed over the last couple of years. “I worked with him down at the Crusaders and he’s got such a clear head. “He doesn’t let pressure get to him as we saw in the weekend. “The fact that he’s putting Beaudie under a lot of pressure is great.” “For me Beaudie is still the leader in that All Blacks side and what he’s achieved in the last

Dan Carter still has Beauden Barrett as All Blacks No. 10. three or four years has been incredible. “To be the number one player in the world the last couple of seasons, he’s been great on occasions this year. “I think he’s really trying to push himself in that leadership role. “He’s a key part of the All Blacks side. “He’s still the number one 10 but to have the competition with Richie there, and when the time is right in certain games for Beaudie to go to the back

and Richie come on and add another string to the backline … it’s a really fortunate position the All Blacks coaches have got with quality players to be able to bring on as replacements and add a little bit to the game when needed. “It’s the kind of depth and competition you want in a squad. The 36-year-old Carter is currently playing in Japan for the Kobelco Steelers as part of a two year deal. “Playing here I guess is a little less pressure than when I was

playing internationally and also in France so it’s a nice change and I’m really enjoying it,” he told Newstalk ZB. “There’s still a bit of physicality around the game. “It is a little bit easier on your body but the game is played just so fast. “The Japanese are extremely fit and they play the game with such speed and that’s what they really pride themselves on. “Even though your body isn’t as battered after a game, your lungs are definitely tested.” He said the interest is starting to build ahead of the World Cup in Japan next year. “It’s growing. “It’s not a major sport here but I’ve been visiting here for the last 10 years and I’ve seen a huge growth in the sport. “A lot of that was off the back of their amazing victory at the 2015 World Cup against South Africa. “That really put rugby in the limelight here in Japan and obviously next year’s World Cup, it’s gone from strength to strength. “All of a sudden you’re seeing rugby players on billboards and magazines. “We managed to sell out a club top league match the other week, so there is a lot more interest in rugby and I’m enjoying being part of that.” - NZME

Cheika’s master plan for the Wallabies Australia’s slump to seventh in the world rankings is clearly hurting the two-time World Cup champions. Under-fire coach Michael Cheika has scoffed at a suggestion the Wallabies’ upcoming match against Wales, who are in their 2019 World Cup pool, is the most important remaining assignment of the year. According to Cheika it’s the

ROUND EIGHT

dead Bledisloe Cup game in Yokohoma late this month which counts most. Cheika explained the tactical thinking behind why he is likely to stick with star fullback Israel Folau on the wing. After playing the All Blacks in Japan, Australia take on Wales, Italy and England. When asked if World Cup opponents Wales were the prior-

ity, Cheika said: “Everyone wants us to get back up the ladder. We play three teams ahead of us on points, and it’s a great opportunity to climb back up the ladder. “Let’s forget everything except game one against the number one, when you can accumulate the most points to get back up there. Let’s focus on that.” Folau was switched to the wing by the Waratahs during the sea-

son, leading to a controversial tweet from his wife Maria Folau – the New Zealand netball shooter – who questioned the move. But Cheika followed suit against Argentina when Folau returned from injury, using Dane Haylett-Petty at fullback. But Cheika appears to believe that he can get Folau even more involved in the game by starting him as a wing. - AAP

Thorn recruits Ryan It will be a Red Hill reunion at Ballymore next season with Peter Ryan joining his former rugby league teammate Brad Thorn on the Queensland Reds coaching staff. Thorn has pinched Ryan from the Brumbies to be the Reds’ defensive coach alongside returning attack coach Jim McKay in a coup for the rebuilding Super Rugby club. The pair played together at the Brisbane Broncos and are two of just four men to win NRL and Super Rugby titles. - AAP

Garces to ref ABs The man who handed out the most significant red card in All Blacks’ history will take charge of the side’s most anticipated test this year. Referee Jerome Garces, who sent off Sonny Bill Williams last year, will be the man in the middle of the All Blacks’ clash against England at Twickenham on November 11. The Frenchman sent Williams off in the 25th minute of the 24-21 loss to the Lions in Wellington last year, after the All Black second five’s shoulder connected with Anthony Watson’s head in a tackle attempt. - NZME

Tui a wanted man Wallabies coach Michael Cheika expects to hear this week if backrower Lukhan Tui will make himself available for their spring tour to the UK and Europe. Tui pulled out from their recent matches in South Africa and Argentina after he was involved in a scuffle with a fan following their loss to the Pumas on the Gold Coast last month. Cheika said he’d spoken with Tui but so far hadn’t received any assurance he wanted to resume his rugby career. “I am trying to cajole him back into the saddle because I think it’s good for him and for his family that he gets back to doing what he loves,” Cheika said. - AAP

Auks back on top Auckland made easy work of the struggling Stags, claiming a 56-8 victory in Invercargill in the Mitre10 Cup. The visitors romped home, dominating Southland in all areas of the park. The loss for Southland also meant they broke Northland’s record for consecutive losses in the top division of a national provincial championship in rugby. - NZME

In brief Supercars in the dark The Sandown 500 will move to November and night racing in Sydney will be put on hiatus in a re-jigged Supercars calendar for 2019. Tinkering to next year’s schedule will see Perth host night racing for the first time and the Gold Coast 600 shifting to a sole 500km race. The series will drop from 16 race weekends to 15 with the temporary loss of Eastern Creek. After a night racing trial in Sydney this year, Supercars organisers hope it will become a long-term fixture. - AAP

Embarrassing sales An embarrassing outcome at the turnstiles looms for New Zealand, prompting coach Michael Maguire to urge Kiwi rugby league fans to support their home team. Two days out from the trans-Tasman test in Auckland, the New Zealand Rugby League is anticipating a crowd of about 15,000 at Mt Smart Stadium. The hastily arranged test between the Kangaroos and Tonga a week later is expected to be sold out at the same venue, which can hold just under 26,000 fans. - AAP

■ BOWLS

Bowlers on the greens Mid Canterbury representative bowlers will get their season under way in an annual triangular tournament this weekend. The green and gold sides, of which there will be four, will be taking on rivals from both South Canterbury and Canterbury Country in the fixture which has both men’s and women’s sides and development teams of both sexes as well. The Mid Canterbury selectors have gone with the tried and true approach when it comes to the makeup of their teams with some very well credentialled sides. The men’s side will be spearheaded by Mat Bassett who turned in a good showing at last weekend’s Burnside Under 16 singles. Playing against some of the biggest young names in the country, Bassett managed to make his way through the qualifying stages to earn a spot in the elite Division One section for the knockout stages. He was defeated in the first round of post section by eventual runner-up, Sheldon BagrieHowley and finished in a tie for fifth out of the 32 players who took part. Bassett will lead a strong team on Sunday that includes Alec Crawford and Murray Smallridge while the second men’s team is spearheaded by the Methven combination of Brent Mayson and Craig Carter. The women’s side features many notable names including Wendy Suttie, Sandra Holdom, Wendy Watson and Anne Reid. The men’s matches will be played on the Ashburton green while the women will play at Allenton.

He’s never played an AFL game but rugby league great Billy Slater believes he has plenty to offer the rival code after joining St Kilda in a leadership development role. The under-performing Saints pounced on Slater as soon as he announced his retirement from the Storm. The 35-year-old says he will look to impart his knowledge to St Kilda about professionalism and match preparation to create a winning culture similar to that at the hugely successful Storm. - AAP

In brief Usman unlikely hero The idea of Usman Khawaja handing out advice on how to bat in Asia would once have been laughable but the left-hander has proven to be Australia’s shining light in the UAE. Australia’s slim hopes of salvaging a draw on day five of the first test against Pakistan rest heavily with Khawaja, who was to resume on 50 alongside debutant Travis Head (34 not out) with the tourists trailing by 326 runs at 3-136. Concerns about Khawaja’s poor record on turning tracks meant he was overlooked during last year’s series in India. - AAP

■ HOCKEY

Teams spread far and wide By Matt MarkhaM

matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury hockey teams have been flying the district flag with great distinction around the country this week. With teams away at both the prestigious Hatch and Collier events and also two teams in Cromwell at the Festival of Hockey, it’s been a busy time for local hockey followers. In Nelson, the Hatch Cup boys had a tough time of it through the pool play against some strong opposition but are in a position to push for a decent final result heading into the final two days of play today and tomorrow. They started their tournament in the best possible fashion in their match against Northland when George Robins found the back of the goal after just eight minutes, but two goals to North-

land saw them lose their first match. Things didn’t get any better against Bay of Plenty next up losing 1-5 with Gus Preston scoring the lone goal. Against Tauranga next it was more of the same with goals from captain Hamish O’Reilly and Will Lemon putting light on a 2-5 loss. A 1-1 draw with Wanganui gave renewed hope and it was again O’Reilly who score the goal, leading from the front. Mid Canterbury then played Nelson in the first of the crossover games and were dominant, winning 3-1. They scored the opening goal of the match through Robins before Nelson fought back to be 1-all at the break. A further goal to Robins and then one to Patrick Currie put the game beyond doubt though and

the first win for the green and golds was recorded. Up against a tough Waikato side next, Mid Canterbury were in the match at 1-all at half-time, but a goal midway through the second half saw them lose 2-1. They’ll be back on the turf today for a match which will decided whether they return to the turf to play for 13th or 14th, or 15th or 16th. Up in North Harbour, the girls’ Collier team will take on Horowhenua today to determine their playoff spot. They began their week with a loss to North Harbour 1-4, with Jessie Pitney scoring the sole goal, before a 2-7 defeat to Hawkes Bay where Holly-Jayne Feutz and Samantha Roberts were the goal scorers. Counties were too good for the green and gold girls winning 0-2

next up, before a 2-all draw with Wellington with goals from Feutz and Sarah Wilson and then a 3-all draw with Marlborough through goals from Milly Farrell, Pitney and Alla Forrester. Neighbours South Canterbury were too strong in the first crossover match though with Mid Canterbury losing that match 1-3 with Kylana Peauafi scoring the lone goal. Meanwhile, down in Cromwell the Primary B girls enjoyed a good week finishing in fifth position overall. They registered wins against North Otago, South Canterbury and the West Coast and lost to Canterbury Red and Eastern Southland, while the boys had to wait until their last match against North Otago to grab a win, where they were victorious 3-2, leaving them in ninth position overall.

It’s a case of so far so good for Chris Lynn and his fragile shoulders but that doesn’t mean he’ll push his luck by playing for Queensland in the Sheffield Shield. The destructive batsman will fly to Dubai on Sunday in stellar form before Australia’s three-game Twenty20 series against Pakistan. The 28-year-old was the domestic one-day cup’s leading run-scorer before Wednesday’s final with 452 runs at an average of 75.33, including two centuries and a staggering 27 sixes. - AAP

Phoenix sign Burgess Wellington Phoenix have plucked Australian attacking midfielder Max Burgess out of the NSW Premier League on a one-year contract. The deal marks a return to the A-League for 23-year-old Burgess, who played one match for Sydney FC in 2014 and represented the Newcastle Jets five times a year later. His form with NSW champions Sydney Olympic FC, in which he scored seven goals in 23 appearances, impressed Phoenix coach Mark Rudan. - AAP

Nadal helps clean up World No.1 tennis player Rafael Nadal has helped in the clean-up after a deadly devastating flood hit his native island of Majorca. At least 10 people are believed to have died when torrential rain deluged the town of Sant Llorenc, east of the capital, Palma. Nadal invited people affected by the severe storms to take shelter at his tennis academy in nearby Manacor and then donned boots to join other volunteers in clearing away mud and water from affected areas. - PA

Taurua’s top seven From making uncountable changes to making none. Silver Ferns coach Noeline Taurua took a different approach to Wednesday night’s Constellation Cup loss against the Australian Diamonds – and at times, it appeared to work. The new coach was criticised for making too many alterations during the Silver Ferns’ 15-goal loss to the Diamonds on Sunday after selecting a rather inexperienced starting line-up including young goal shoot Aliyah Dunn. Taurua urged for patience after she revealed that she still hadn’t found her ideal starting seven nor her perfect shooting combination and needed to expose the younger players to the international stage. But in what appeared an attempt to settle things and gun for a win, Taurua took a step back on Wednesday night. The Ferns did go down for the ninth consecutive time against their rivals, however, they performed much more consistently across the court and showed exciting improvements. Although admitting that there were moments she was tempted to make changes, Taurua said she was pleased by how her selected seven performed. “I’m rapt that we’ve been able to keep the seven out there, it does highlight areas that we need to improve on and work on as individuals but we’ll get a lot of mileage out of that and a lot of confidence. “We’re still looking for combinations, looking for units but I thought there was a better balance out there in regards to the personal ... I thought they fought really well.” Maria Folau was given her second

start in the goal shoot bib – a position the veteran goal attack has rarely played in recent history. Playing alongside Te-Paea SelbyRickit in the shooting circle, Folau showed great potential in the position and will likely be handed the start again with Taurua pleased with the performance of the duo. “I was rapt with what she did in the goal shoot position. “I thought she provided us with stability there and obviously as we all know she can shoot so getting the ball to her increased in volume and that’s very pleasing,” she said. “I thought she was smart ... she led from the back and I was pleased by that.” Skipper Laura Langman, who made history becoming the most capped Silver Fern with 146 tests now to her name, wasn’t concerned about her side’s second loss in the cup series. Modest about her achievement, Langman said she was

concentrating on the long-term plan and said she was confident in the Ferns’ progress. “For me, it’s always the bigger picture,” Langman said. “I was really pleased that we were recognising the moments and I think that was a really big step forward from where we had been. “I think that’s a real positive and I felt too we did run with them, now it’s just that next step about really punching through.” The Ferns will be desperate to avoid another Constellation Cup whitewash with just two tests left to claim a win over their biggest rivals. The two sides will meet again in four days’ time at Hamilton’s Claudelands area for the third test of the series. - NZME

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Some stay ignorant on purpose. They don’t want to know anything that might negate what they believe. This is unwise, and very different from learning what there is to know and then choosing to focus elsewhere. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’ll recover what another left behind. They took it as far as they were capable and wrung out as much reward as they were going to get. But there’s still something left for you. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): When appealing words fall on ears that want them to be true, the deal will be made. Do note, that doesn’t mean it’s a good deal. The pleasantness of words has nothing to do with their truth. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): A significant part of you exists without words, thoughts or mental images. That part of you is doing something mysterious and yet absolutely crucial to the existence of you and yours. Honour it. Give it space. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You may look for beauty yet see the flaws. So, your powers of discernment are strong. Don’t be hard on yourself for your critical eye. It’s part of how your mind works to protect you. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Don’t be blindsided by fearful falsehoods that make a person feel life is on the brink of disaster when it fact a slightly different perspective is all it takes to see that this couldn’t be further from the truth. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Intent is the biggest component of success today. Set your intention, and your priorities will fall into place. You’ll know what to focus on first, second and third. Tonight you’ll look back with satisfaction. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): To help others, they must trust you. If they feel trapped by your expectation of them, they’ll rebel. Today calls for a careful observance of the line between helping people and controlling them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You want their happiness and your own. Unfortunately, just seeing the other person happy won’t be enough to accomplish the second aim. But fortunately, you’ve other ways of getting happy. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Sometimes even wellintentioned help can be an imposition. Don’t accept help you don’t need. It may seem like a harmless enough way to get through the moment, but it devolves into awkwardness. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): People may feel defensive, like their beliefs are being threatened. In the matters that don’t really matter (most of them today) silence will be the best opinion. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): As a water sign, you find it easy to accept changes and, like water, you flow with it. Today, it will be more like floating on water, because the change is that things are finally as still and clear as a placid lake.

Big plans for top jockey P31

Carter votes for Barrett P32 Ashburton trainer Alister Lowe will line up a 13-yearold debutant who’s been to workouts or trials 139 times at Methven on Sunday.

Perseverance personified What is perhaps the mostly aptly named horse in the history of harness racing worldwide will make its debut at the Methven meeting on Sunday. Perseverance Road, a 13-yearold trotting mare by Armbro Invasion will step out in a tote meeting for the first time, in the colours of her Tinwald owner/trainer/breeder, Alistair Lowe. And if it wasn’t for fellow veteran Valmagne, the debutant would be the most experienced of the 182 horses nominated for the meeting. Confused? Understandable. Because, since she had her first public workout as a four-yearold in June of 2010, Perseverance

Road has had 139 further trials and workouts. To say Lowe has been patient is an understatement. She actually qualified nearly six years ago at her 15th attempt but has been back a further 95 times since. The reason, Lowe says, has been a combination of things, including an ongoing battle with soft feet and a willingness to be patient as the stock of her sire typically do take plenty of time. “When I first got her going she developed breathing problems and then she kept going foot sore. “Her feet were feeling the ground all the time. “So, I kept giving her time out and more recently I have talked

to a few experts about what to do to cure her problem feet and it seems like it’s worked. “Suddenly she seems like she might be competitive, so we are off to the races.” Lowe says two recent workouts, the most recent on the grass at Methven last weekend, have given him plenty of encouragement. “The way she’s gone the last couple of times has me pretty happy with how she’s going.” Her name, while fitting, is very much a coincidence. “The road I grew up on, which is now known as Winslow Road, used to flood a lot and was called Perseverance Road. “That’s where her name came from.”

So, all things considered, it’s quite a remarkable display of commitment and, well, perseverance on Lowe’s part to take a horse to the workouts 140 times across 10 seasons. Why did he do it? “She’s a beautifully-natured horse and has always shown ability. I guess I just thought that if it ended up working out, she would bring us a bit of fun. “That’s why I persisted. “Yes, she’s a bit older, but she feels really strong and I think she’ll be competitive.” Lowe said a few attendants around the local workout scene had given him gentle ribbings as the years wore on and he kept paying the nominal trials and

workouts fees, but he was unfazed by it all. “One or two people have asked me why I kept going. “But a few have also commented on how well she’s gone at times. “Mind you, no one has ever tried to buy her. Not that I would have sold her, anyway.” Racing trotters into their twilight years is normal in the Lowe family, evidently. “My grandfather won the Dominion back in 1934 with Trampfast, trained and driven by Roy Berry. “He was 14 at the time. “My father used to quote my grandfather quite a bit, talking about patience, I guess that’s where I get it from.” - NZHN
