Scammers hit locals

Tasman call-up

P40

MORE THAN $100,000 STOLEN

Nurses take action P3

Scam callers have sucked $75,000 from an elderly Ashburton woman’s bank account during a sting on the district.

Police are warning locals to be extremely vigilant about scam callers pretending to be from Spark, after the woman lost her life savings and was left with just six dollars and three cents to her name.

She is one of at least three local people duped by scam callers recently, with two others each losing around $20,000.

Police said the victims were just “normal, trusting” Ashburton people.

The woman was contacted by a foreign-sounding “Spark technician” wanting to fix an issue on her computer.

She told police he sounded very be-

lievable and she had proceeded to speak with him on several more occasions throughout the course of a week.

A local computer specialist later looked at her computer and discovered the scam caller had remotely installed two programs, which had given him access to her bank accounts.

Police were unsure whether the woman’s bank would be able to do anything to get her $75,000 back.

She and the two who lost $20,000 were among a number of people to contact police about similar scams.

Sergeant Dan Harker said it was vital that people were aware of the scam, so they would not become the next victim.

“Anything to do with a person purporting to be from Spark – hang up. Spark will not call you saying there is an issue with

your computer … and the scam callers generally won’t go ringing back if they get hung up on,” he said.

Alternatively, to check if a call is legitimate, people can take down the caller’s name and contact number and call back through the company’s main 0800 number, he said.

“But do not give out any personal information. Between three people $115,000 has gone missing … and none of it had to happen.”

The Ashburton Police Station has been the target of at least four calls from the Spark scammers, along with a fair few to the Ashburton Guardian.

■ HIGHLAND DANCE

Dancers pumped for NZ champs

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

The competition is piping hot at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre, as tartan-clad contestants take on the New Zealand Highland Dancing Championships.

The four-day event has lured over 150 dancers from all over the country, competing in 18 and over and under 18 categories.

Organised by the Piping and Dancing Association New Zealand, the championships kicked off with the junior sections yesterday morning.

A number of young Ashburton competitors were among those performing to a crowd of spectators, fellow dancers and judges.

Ashburton National and Highland Dancing Association vice president Megan Christie said senior competitors will be vying for New Zealand rankings when they take the stage from today. A range of silverware is also up for grabs.

An official opening ceremony will be held at midday and the competition will wrap up after prize giving at 4pm on Sunday.

Entry to watch the event is free.

The same competition was last held in Ashburton in 2015.

Georgia Tomasi, Tahlia Christie (an Ashburton local) and Bella Davis were first on stage at the New Zealand Highland Dancing Championships yesterday.

■ PHONE SCAM

Ashburtonians hit by scammers From P1 “When they call us, they are totally unaware that it’s a police station,” Harker said.

“The calls aren’t targeted. They don’t know who they’re calling.

They’re just going through thousands of numbers, and unfortunately at the moment there has been a lot of 307 numbers.”

“They figure that if they call thousands and thousands, they’re going to get some.”

While police encourage people to report any suspicious calls they receive, they said there is often, unfortunately, little they can do to help.

The calls usually originate from overseas and are very difficult to

track, while stolen money disappears into Bitcoin, Western Union wire accounts and New Zealand money mule accounts set up under false documents, Harker said.

“These are sophisticated, transinternational operations.”

Spark New Zealand communications adviser Lydia Tebbutt said there had been an increase in scammers pretending to be from well-known companies like Spark.

Spark acknowledged a common scam where the caller will introduce themselves as being from Spark’s Technical Team, Spark’s Helpdesk or Microsoft.

The caller will generally advise that the call is in relation to

a problem with the customer’s fixed line, router, internet services, or computer, Spark advised.

The caller might try gain the customer’s trust by saying things like “I’ve received a report that you’re experiencing slow internet” or “I understand you’ve just had fibre installed so we need to run some tests.”

The caller can also use scaring tactics to create a sense of urgency.

For example: “There is a virus impacting the Spark network and if we don’t fix it now you will be disconnected.”

In 2017, Kiwis reported losing over $10 million dollars to online scams and fraud.

REDUCE RISK OF BEING SCAMMED ■

Be suspicious. Scammers work hard to appear trustworthy and it’s good to do some research or thinking before you engage with a person or opportunity.

Don’t trust unexpected contact. Scams most often come through cold contact, eg an unexpected phone call or email.

Always take steps to find out more before considering any offers.

Do your research. Use Google to look into the names of people or companies who approach you.

Resist demands to act quickly.

Anyone presenting a legitimate opportunity will allow you time to consider your response. If you feel under pressure, take some time — or turn it down.

■ 24-HOUR STRIKE

Nurses walk off the job

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Nurses leaving the wards and taking to the street yesterday.

PHOTO SUPPLIED

A bare carpark and a lone purple New Zealand Nurses’ Organisation balloon were small indications of a major disruption on the inside of Ashburton Hospital yesterday as dozens of nurses walked off the job.

Local nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants were among those swapping their stethoscopes for placards and flags during the 24-hour strike.

The group picketed at the hospital from 7am, then by the West Street side of the Ashburton Domain, before travelling to Christchurch to join a rally and march along Riccarton Avenue.

They were among thousands of nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants around the country who voted to strike – for the first time in 30 years – after rejecting the latest pay offer from the district health boards (DHBs).

Ashburton Hospital and health centres remained open and continued to provide essential and urgent services, including emergency departments, acute surgery, intensive care, cancer treatments, maternity services and

renal dialysis. Wards remained open but with reduced capacity and general practices were encouraging locals to rebook if their appointments were not urgent.

New Zealand Nurses’ Organisation industrial services manager, Cee Payne, said issues faced and reported by the union’s members arose from a decade of severe underfunding of our public hospitals “which have failed to keep pace with growing community need, the ageing population and workforce and increased costs”.

The Government had hoped last-minute talks between district health boards and nurses would avert the strike action yesterday.

Acting Prime Minister Winston Peters told reporters the Government was very disappointed that nurses had voted to reject the latest pay offer.

It’s not that the Government aren’t willing to increase their pay, he said, it’s simply that they haven’t got the money.

During the strike, the Canterbury District Health Board postponed and rescheduled around 800 outpatient appointments and 150 surgeries in total.

■ RED CROSS

Course offers plasters for the mind

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

You may know basic CPR or how to dress a wound – but would you know what to do if your friend had a panic attack, or was struggling to cope with a traumatic event?

A new Psychological First-Aid (PFA) course could be undertaken by members of the Tinwald Red Cross branch in a bid to bridge a “knowledge gap”.

New Zealand Red Cross have this year launched a new programme to help people provide practical and emotional short-

term support for individuals – and was discussed as a possibility for Mid Canterbury by Tinwald Red Cross members at their last meeting.

President Pat O’Brien said the course would be taught by specialised facilitators, and equip members with valuable skills.

“They’ve been holding them in Timaru and Christchurch, and we thought there could be interest for one here,” she said.

Red Cross New Zealand Secretary General Tony Paine said the seven-hour PFA course is a proven

“IT’S THE BEST DECISION WE’VE EVER MADE!” After living in Oamaru for 50 years, we decided after one visit to move to Lochlea so we could be closer to our children and family. We found the transition from our quarter acre home to our new Lochlea Lifestyle Villa very easy, we were thrilled with the privacy and the Villa had been built to capture the sun so well. We recently celebrated our 60 year wedding anniversary here at the Resort - we are very happy here.

approach to helping people affected by an emergency or traumatic event.

“At its core, PFA is about providing a safe, supportive response to someone who has just been through a sudden disaster and in need of support,” he said.

Psychological first aid recognises that people possess coping skills and exist within a social and cultural context from which they will draw their most valuable support.

It’s about making people feel safe, connected to others, calm

and hopeful, able to access physical, emotional, cultural and social support, and feel able to help themselves, he said.

“PFA is a useful skill for everyone to have up their sleeves in everyday circumstances. The reality is we cannot predict the next traumatic event or if it will affect those immediately around us. Just like physical first aid, we recommend PFA as a valuable tool that can make a huge difference to people’s lives.”

The Australian Red Cross, New Zealand Psychological Society,

Massey University Joint Centre for Disaster Research, Te Piringa o Te Awakairangi and Le Va have all contributed to the training materials, which have been recognised by the Ministry of Health.

The framework that underpins the training was developed by the World Health Organisation.

St John have also announced that they will be offering mental health first aid courses in the near future.

One in 5 New Zealanders experience problems with their mental health every year, they reported.

■ ANTI-BULLYING

Serious message in horsey tale

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

A “horsesome” school holiday activity took children behind scenes of the Crusaders Horses yesterday, and into an imaginative tale of courage and hope.

Bayleys Canterbury held a special story telling session at BNZ, with their new book Ace: A Horsey Tail of Courage.

The book has been published with support from the BNZ Crusaders and Bullying-Free NZ and shares the message that every child matters, and bullying is never OK, or “just banter”.

It stars Ace, a horse with big dreams and three mean schoolmates, and Holly, a Crusaders Horse who wants to help.

The idea was dreamt up by Bayleys Canterbury General Manager Pete Whalan, and the story was written by Katy Cook.

Yesterday it was read by Brad Wallis from Bayleys Ashburton.

Proceeds from book sales will go towards supporting children living with critical illnesses, via Make-A-Wish New Zealand.

Further storytelling sessions will be held in Rolleston and Leeston today and in Christchurch central tomorrow, and the book is available for purchase on the Crusaders merchandise website.

Former National MP Chester Borrows has called on politicians not to bow to public sentiment to be “tough on crime” or give knee-jerk reactions to individual horrific crimes, as National had done in 2012.

Borrows, a former police officer and National MP until 2017, is the chairman of Justice Minister Andrew Little’s new advisory group on criminal justice which will report back early next year.

Borrows was courts minister

The man who died after a bus he was working on fell on him in Leithfield has been named. It was local man Brent Antony Watkins.

Police say it was understood the 55-year-old was working on a bus on July 10 and became trapped by the bus which had rolled or landed on him. Emergency services were called to the property about 4.20pm, but Watkins could not be revived and was pronounced dead at the scene. The death will be referred to the coroner.

Apology The Guardian wishes to apologise for a headline printed on P5 of Thursday’s paper which implied that the current strikes by nurses were putting ‘lives at risk’. The quote was made in reference to Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon stating that people’s health and wellbeing were being put at risk by the strikes – Mr Falloon never stated that lives were being put at risk by the strikes.

Calm descends

‘Hard on crime line doesn’t make good law’

By Claire trevett

Man named

in the National Government, but has made no secret that he has a different view from many National MPs on the “hard on crime” line.

Speaking at the launch of the working group at Parliament, Borrows said the advisory group was not “politically bound” so could explore areas politicians steered clear of in case they were not palatable to the public.

National Party leader Simon Bridges has already criticised Little’s plans to reform bail and parole laws, saying it would put the

public at greater risk.

Borrows said it was tempting for political parties to take the “hard on crime” line for political reasons but it did not make good law.

“It’s a fish-hook for political parties that they want to be seen to be doing something.

“You’ve always got a Budget or an election around the corner.

Thankfully this group won’t have to worry about that.”

He admitted that behind closed doors he had argued against National’s overhaul of bail laws after

a campaign to toughen bail laws following the murder of Christie Marceau in 2011.

“Yes, I did, but as you can tell you don’t always win the argument.

“National would argue there was a reasoned and smart debate early on, but as you get more and more into defence mode and as a Government you are dealing with incidents the tendency is to rush off and change the law on the back of one-off incidents to be seen to be doing something.”

Most of the country is in for a fine but cold few days, before a low from the Tasman Sea spoils everybody’s weekend. MetService meteorologist Nick Zachar said yesterday’s weather was fairly “benign”, as a weakening cold front moved up the country.

Elsewhere a ridge of high pressure was beginning to spread, bringing a fine winter’s day to most of the country. However, while the cool front was lacking in severe weather, it had brought a lot of cold air with it.

■ MYCOPLASMA BOVIS

Second round of milk testing to begin Milk samples from every Mid Canterbury dairy farm will be taken shortly after the start of calving as the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) begins a second round of nationwide milk testing for Mycoplasma bovis.

Cows are most likely to be shedding the bacterium during calving and samples will be collected from each farm about four weeks following the start of supply, with the first samples expected to be collected in the North Island in late July.

Mycoplasma bovis is very difficult to test for as animals can be

carrying the bacteria but not appear ill or show evidence of it in their blood or milk.

Testing at this time of year, when cows are in the early weeks of lactation and under some physical stress (and therefore more likely to be shedding), will yield the most accurate results and provide further information and assurance about the location of the disease in New Zealand.

MPI’s Director of Response Geoff Gwyn says farmers won’t have to do anything as all test samples will be collected as part of the standard on-tanker test process.

“Samples will be collected from each farm every two weeks up to a total of six samples over 12 weeks and tested by Milk TestNZ. Tests will look for both the presence of antibodies to Mycoplasma bovis and also the DNA of the bacterium.”

Gwyn says the bacterium itself presents no food safety concern.

Most dairying countries live with Mycoplasma bovis and safely consume milk products.

Farmers can expect to receive more information about the testing programme from their dairy companies this week. Dairy com-

panies are working with MPI to support the delivery of the programme, and the wider Mycoplasma bovis eradication plan.

Once the programme is completed, farmers with “not-detected” results will receive an email from their dairy company confirming the disease has not been found in their samples. Those in the North Island will receive their results on or before November 1 and those in the South Island will hear on or before November 15.

Any farm that has a sample where Mycoplasma bovis is detected will be contacted immedi-

ately by MPI and given details of the next steps.

Gwyn says farms that receive a not-detected result can take some assurance that the bacterium was not in the samples provided.

“Unfortunately, however, the complex nature of Mycoplasma bovis means results cannot be taken as a guarantee the farm is free of the infection.”

As the eradication programme continues, it’s likely that more rounds of this testing will take place to ultimately confirm that the disease is gone and eradication has been successful.

Small block owners need to do their ‘homework’ News that a lifestyle block in Rakaia with 24 animals has tested positive for Mycoplasma bovis shows that all cattle farming operations must take heed of the disease, Federated Farmers Dairy Chairperson Chris Lewis says.

Another lifestyle block near Inglewood is under Notice of Direction while follow-up testing is done.

“Big, small, lifestyle or intensive/extensive, any farm operation with cattle is at risk and the owners and staff have a part to play in the biosecurity of the sector,” Lewis said.

Fifty-three properties have tested positive for M. bovis in the past 12 months, with 22 infected properties in Canterbury; 16 of the Canterbury farms are under quarantine with restrictions on stock and equipment.

Almost 30,000 cattle have been culled nationally as MPI tries to eradicate the disease.

Federated Farmers says small block holders need to get up to speed.

“Outside Canterbury and Southland it is understandable that many small block holders were not aware of the implications of Mycoplasma bovis for them,” Lewis said.

“But there is a wealth of in-

formation out there and everyone with cattle needs to do their homework.”

Stock movements carry the highest risk for spreading of M. bovis. Restrictions have been placed on all known risk properties so the risks of buying infected

calves are low – but not zero.

“So ask before you buy, find out where the animals have come from, register yourself with NAIT (http://www.nait.co.nz/), make sure the animals you are buying all have NAIT tags and don’t let them off the truck or pick them up

unless they do,” Lewis said.

Feeding infected milk is the second highest risk of spreading M. bovis.

Milk that has the lowest risk of containing M. bovis bacteria comes in the form of calf milk replacer powder, acidified milk or

pasteurised milk.

If you’re feeding whole milk, do not feed milk from cows under treatment for mastitis or other illnesses. This milk should be discarded. These cows are more likely to shed M. bovis into their milk than healthy cows.

■ MARS

Red planet coming in close

By Jamie morton Mars is paying us its closest visit for the next 17 years, making the red planet appear bigger and brighter than usual.

While Earth and Mars follow elliptical or oval-shaped orbits around the Sun, the fact our planet is closer than Mars means Earth speeds along its orbit faster.

This meant Earth effectively took two trips around the Sun in the same time it took for Mars to make just a single circuit.

When Earth lined up directly between Mars and the Sun,

this put Mars in “opposition” – an occurrence that took place around every two years, and next occurring on July 27.

But astronomers say this year’s opposition will be all the more special.

Mars perihelion was the point when the planet was closest to the Sun in its orbit.

When this occurred within a few weeks of opposition, a “perihelic opposition” resulted, and Mars appeared even bigger and brighter.

Such events only happened around every 17 years – and some brought us closer than

others. The 2003 opposition was especially significant, being the closest opposition in the last 60,000 years.

While this year’s conditions wouldn’t be quite as extraordinary, Mars would still only appear 4 per cent smaller than that spectacle.

It was likely the next time the two planets are at perihelic opposition, in 2035, humans will have walked upon the surface of Mars.

The celestial event wasn’t confined to the end of the month, and star-gazers should have several weeks to get an up-

close view of Mars.

Telescope viewing would yield the best results, but the unaided eye could still spot Mars looking like the brightest, reddest “star” in the night sky.

Auckland’s Stardome observatory was celebrating with a series of “Mad About Mars” events running this month and August.

Its historic Zeiss telescope – one of the largest telescopes in New Zealand open for regular public viewing – was open for extended hours and discounted rates throughout July and August.

Bright, young minds on Antarctica mission University of Otago geology student Michael Bollen is one of three bright, young minds to win scientific research scholarships to Antarctica.

Bollen will now be able to attend an international science conference and complete his oceanography research at Stanford University in California.

Bollen was invited last year to sail to the Southern Ocean with an oceanography research group from Stanford University and is studying the layers of life (microscopic algae called diatoms) that died and settled into the sediment over the last million years. These diatoms hold chemical fingerprints of what the oceans were like at the time they died.

Bollen is working on how to extract these fingerprints and thereby more accurately reconstruct past conditions. He will also travel to the Antarctic continent to look at life growing underneath sea ice with Associate Professor Ken Ryan from Victoria University of Wellington. It’s a dream come true for this second year masters student who is passionate about algae.

Man jailed over images A Golden Bay man has been jailed for three years for distributing child sex abuse images and videos after first being detected by American authorities. John WiseSouthwood, 71, was sentenced in the Nelson District Court this week, having earlier pleaded guilty to three representative charges of possession and distribution of objectionable images depicting the sexual abuse and exploitation of young girls. One of WiseSouthwood’s charges was for the distribution of 26 images uploaded to social media. The other two charges were for possession of more than 2000 objectionable images and videos in a Dropbox account and on computer. - NZME

Trapped in grain silo A 45-year-old man has been airlifted to hospital with serious injuries after becoming trapped in a grain silo near Balcutha yesterday. An Otago Regional Rescue Helicopter was dispatched shortly before midday after police received reports the man had fallen into the silo, in the Hillend Area, near the intersection of Hillend and Coe Roads, north of Balclutha. St John spokesman Gerard Campbell said the rescue helicopter carrying a specialist paramedic landed at 12.15pm.

A police spokeswoman said about 12.30pm the man had now been lifted out of the ‘’nearly empty’’ grain silo.

President of the NZ Thai Society, Songvut Manoonpong, said the community were all very glad the group had been safely rescued. “A lot of Thai people, even in New Zealand, were talking about this and there was a lot of help offered from around the world,” he said. “We are all really relieved and happy that they all came out. Now they are all celebrities, along with the rescue team.” Manoonpong said he was very impressed by the efforts of the rescuers. “It was not easy. I checked the plan of the cave and it was not an easy task and was really risky.”

■ Beef: Roll the beef in seasoned flour. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat, add a dash of oil and brown beef in batches.

Transfer beef to an ovenproof casserole dish as you go.

■ Lower the heat and add another dash of oil to the pan. Add the onion and cook until soft, then add the pumpkin and carrot slices. Pour in the red wine and allow to bubble and reduce slightly.

■ Add the stock and tomatoes and stir well. Season. Add to the casserole dish with the bay leaf.

Cover meat with a piece of baking paper, cut to fit. Cover with lid and cook for 2 1/2 hours, until the beef is tender. Remove from the oven and thicken the sauce with a small amount of butter and flour paste (mix together 25g softened butter with 2T flour until you have a paste). Discard the bay leaf, add a splash of

red wine vinegar and leave beef to cool completely.

■ Pastry: Preheat the oven to 190°C. ■ Place the shortcrust pastry sheets, one on top of the other, and roll a little more to fit a 23cm pie tin, leaving an overhang.

Lightly prick the base with a fork. Spoon in the cooled filling.

Brush the edge of the pastry with egg wash. Roll flaky pastry out as above, to fit pie. Place the pastry top on, cut away excess pastry and crimp the edges.

Make a few slits in the top with a knife for the steam to escape.

■ Brush the top with egg wash and place in the oven. Cook pie for 45 to 50 minutes until the pastry is well browned and the filling piping hot.

SHOULD YOU SELL YOUR

house in winter?

Selling a property in winter may seem to go against received wisdom, but there are plenty of reasons why it can be a good idea.

It’s hard to ignore powerful or compelling reasons like a change in your work, financial or family circumstances, or because the timing seems right. In addition, there are several other, more tangible upsides to selling in winter.

Firstly, there are often fewer houses on the market so there’s less competition. Your property is less likely to be lost in a swarm of listings and it will be easy to make it stand out.

People who are looking to buy at this time of year are usually highly motivated because they need a home sooner rather than later.

The upside of this is that you may get fewer ‘tyre-kickers’ than in the warmer months – and increased demand will often result in higher prices.

If you’re selling your property with a real estate agent, you need to mine their experience. When you’re choosing an agent, ask them how houses in your area sell over the colder months.

“

inviting and easy to look after – and there are plenty of practical steps you can take to make it seem an attractive proposition on a cold winter’s day.

Now’s the time to fix any leaks, cracked windows or sticking doors or broken drains.

All the usual rules for preparing a home for sale will apply – your buzzwords should be decluttering and deep-cleaning

”

It’s in their interests to make sure the sale of your property is as advantageous as possible; if they think you’ll be better off waiting a couple of months, they should tell you.

They should also work with you to work out the best times to hold open homes or viewings, taking in account shorter sunlight hours.

You want your property to look attractive,

letterbox or freshly painted front fence or gate will do wonders for your property’s street appeal.

Sell now and you’ll hopefully have lots of properties to choose from when you start scanning the market in spring.

Prepare well and there’s no reason why you can’t successfully sell your property before the weather warms up.

If it has good insulation and an efficient heating system, make sure these factors are included in any marketing. Ensure the house is warm and dry during any viewings. Don’t forget that people will want to look around the outdoor areas too – sweep or waterblast paths, mulch garden beds and clear gutters.

If your garden is picture-perfect in summer and spring, consider making some photos available so prospective buyers can see what they’ve got to look forward to.

AN OCCASION FOR

oregano

When growing oregano consider companion planting it next to your cabbages or cauliflowers. Companion planting involves planting two plants in close proximity to mutually benefit each other through attracting certain insects or keeping other insect pests away.

Henri Ham

AWAPUNI NURSERIES

www.awapuni.co.nz

With winter well and truly here, casseroles, stews and soups are a staple in our kitchen.

To add freshness to these somewhat heavy meals, I love to use fresh winter herbs like oregano.

I treat oregano in winter like I treat basil in summer – throwing it in with all things tomato based.

Oregano is a perennial (it lasts longer than two years). And, if regularly trimmed and cut back in early spring by one-third, it will return and produce for years.

“

Oregano is one of the better herbs at retaining flavour potency when dried. To get maximum strength out of the leaves, harvest just before it flowers

”

It is a pungent and spicy herb and I’m a fan of its slightly bitter taste. However, the potency of its leaves can reduce after three to four years, so at home I replant every few years.

Planting oregano is easy. You can buy seedlings from your local Bunnings, The Warehouse or supermarket, or have your oregano seedlings delivered to your door from an online store at www.awapuni.co.nz.

We guarantee quality seedlings. And if there are any problems with your order at all we will replace it no questions asked.

This method of planting is particularly popular with gardeners wanting to avoid the use of sprays or chemicals.

Once you’ve planted your oregano give it a gentle watering in. You probably won’t need to water it much at the moment. But when the weather warms up, water two to three times per week – give a good soaking to encourage deep rooting. But don’t worry too much as oregano is a hardy herb and very forgiving if it gets neglected.

Once its growth is established try drying some sprigs. Simply tie bunches together and hang upside down on the porch, or indoors in a paper bag. Cut a few holes in the bag and hang upside down until dried through. This will take one to two weeks.

Once dry, run your fingers up the stalks to easily remove the leaves and store in jars.

sprig of oregano to a cup of hot water for a refreshing winter change, especially if you’re trying to cut down on caffeine.

And, when the warmer weather approaches add oregano fresh to salads.

The more you chop it up, the more flavoursome it will be.

Oregano can be used in pasta and pizza sauces, bolognese, and on top of herby bread rolls.

So, whatever the season you can always find an occasion for oregano.

Oregano is one of the better herbs at retaining flavour potency when dried. To get maximum strength out of the leaves, harvest just before it flowers.

Remember one dried teaspoon is equal to one fresh tablespoon of herbs.

Plant in compost rich soil or in pots close to the kitchen. Remember to use potting mix if you’re planting in pots or containers.

Short on space?

Consider vertical planters to keep a variety of herbs easily accessible. Just make sure to hang them in a sunny spot.

Spyder goes the extra mile I

ntroducing the Spyder RT-S in Champagne.

As the premium open-air ultimate touring vehicle, the Spyder RT-S goes the extra mile with an adjustable rear air suspension and a premium experience.

A plush SACHS air shock automatically adjusts to optimise the ride for not only the driver but the passenger and cargo weight.

You can also fine-tune it on-the-fly to your preferences with a console switch.

The Y-frame design creates peace-ofmind, while the ergonomic backrest, adjustable footboards, heated grips and individual audio control pamper you over the long haul.

With a stability control system, traction control system, Anti-lock braking system and a digitally encoded security system you know you are always safe and secure.

An intense look from low profile tyres wrapped around 12-spoke carbon black satin wheels, and premium front fenders with integrated LED light pipes.

The Spyder RT-S model also hosts Satin Chrome accents for a striking presentation.

Activate the cruise control, then sit back and enjoy the scenery.

The thermal rider grips keep your hands warm, while an electric adjustable wind shield enables you to quickly react to changing weather conditions.

DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME THE FARMERS GOT A BETTER DEAL? The complete range of Spyders

You get more foot positions with vibration damping driver footboards these are a real benefit on long rides.

The Spyder RT-S offers a generous amount of storage perfect for touring and those longer trips away from home.

A light and felt insert add a nice finishing touch to the trademark Spyder front cargo compartment.

The power behind this Spyder RT-S is a Rotax®1330 ACE™ in-line 3 cylinders, liquid-cooled with electronic fuel injection and electronic throttle control.

SUPER SPEEDMASTER

T

he Triumph Speedmaster name has always been one that hasn’t quite sat right.

It’s not that it’s a terrible name, far from it, but rather that it would more logically belong to a sportier machine than the bike you see before you.

Well, that’s to my mind anyway, and when it comes to gripes, a name is something you can quickly forget, especially when you jump on the 2018 iteration of Triumph’s Bonneville-based, foot-forward cruiser.

Like previous bikes this century that bear the Speedmaster name, the 2018 model has its roots in the popular Bonneville line.

The liquid-cooled, high-torque 1200cc parallel twin that debuted with the 2015 Bonneville has received a minor tickle, which has resulted in more power for the Speedmaster.

But that is where the similarities with the standard bearer of the Triumph range diverge, and we start to cosy up to the recent Triumph Bobber for much of the engineering inspiration for the Speedmaster.

In debuting the Bonneville Bobber in 2017, Triumph showcased the first bike in its range to move to a monoshock, eschewing the twin shock absorber set-up that has long been a feature of its modern classic line.

With the design brief being that the bike should evoke memories of the old hardtail motorcycles of the company’s past, this

gave the engineering team a challenge in the form of where to put the rear shock.

The solution was clever; Triumph has placed the monoshock off the swingarm and mounted it directly below the rider’s seat in a way that keeps it hidden, yet perfectly functional.

The result is a bike that looks like a hardtail but isn’t going to destroy your coccyx upon an encounter with a pothole.

Unlike the Bobber, the Speedmaster comes with a subframe, which allows for pillion and luggage accommodation.

It’s a massive benefit when you think

about it, as the lack of storage and pillion accommodation really hinders the Bobber when you take it out on longer rides ... unless you enjoy riding alone with a full backpack.

Further stepping away from the Bonneville Bobber, Triumph kept with Speedmaster tradition and fitted the 2018 bike with forward-set footpegs, which, while cool, aren’t as comfortable as those of the Bobber.

I could go on and on about the drop dead gorgeous looks of the new Speedmaster — heck, check out that cranberry red paint — but like all bikes it is all about the ride at the end of the day.

With a nice low seat height of just 705mm, the Speedmaster is an easy bike to approach Since the last Speedmaster we saw here ran Triumph’s old aircooled 900cc parallel twin, it’s no surprise that the new water-cooled 1200cc heart has more go, but when you look at the spec sheet, that allimportant torque figure comes in at 106Nm at 4000rpm. That’s a full 42 per cent more than the 2015 model.

Keeping an eye on your speed is simple thanks to the big speedo cluster above the bars. It clearly shows you everything you need to know on its simplified face.

The Speedmaster does everything it should do as per its design brief, and it does it well.

Rocketship unleashed

T

he Audi RS6 Avant – much like the four-ringed company’s other ‘RS’ products – was already a bit of a monster.

To the average punter it was a suave station wagon (or ‘estate car’ if you’re that way inclined).

But to everyone else who could spot the pumped-up arches, deep spoilers, and huge brake package ... it was a certified sleeper waiting to scare many a sports car.

So, where does the RS6 go from here?

Maybe this is it.

Audi tuning company ABT Sportsline (a frequent name in the motorsport world through involvement in Audi racing campaigns, as well as young Formula E hopeful Daniel Abt) have taken on the RS6 and come up with something very different, and very fast.

Its tongue-twisting name is the ABT Audi RS6-E Hybrid Concept, and it will outrun plenty of other more fancied ma-

chines thanks to some heavily revised mechanics under its stickerbomed skin.

The main addition is an electric motor and 13.6kWh battery in the transmission tunnel.

It can give the rear wheels an added kick of silent-but-deadly electric power at the press of a bright green button on the steering wheel.

When enabled, it gives the RS6-E Concept 1004hp (750kW) and 1291Nm of torque – 304kW more than the already mad standard RS6.

It isn’t just an RS6 with an electric power unit banged in, of course.

It’s combined with other changes too, which include ABT’s own engine control unit (AEC)

and exhaust system. These two latter fixtures are already available as off-theshelf upgrades for RS6 owners, but in this application they take things to another performance level.

The RS6-E Hybrid Concept, despite its hulking dimensions and weight, can hurtle from a stand still to 100km/h in 3.3 seconds when the electric motor is engaged.

And with enough space, it’ll hit a top speed of 320km/h.

Without that added motor doing its thing, it’ll hit 100km/h in a still-rapid 3.7 seconds – while the top speed is knocked down to 250km/h.

Changes to the way the Hybrid hugs the road are minimal, and that’s OK given the standard car’s impressive handling abilities.

Still, ABT felt it wise to add some new aero pieces (how angry does that nose look), and an H&R suspension set-up combined with wild Tron-flavoured 21-inch wheels.

If there’s a weakness to the RS6-E, it’s that all of its electric wizardry can only be harnessed in short bursts.

Sort of like Tesla’s ‘Ludicrous Mode’.

Nonetheless, this is a heck of a wagon.

And, perhaps, a window into the RS nameplate’s bombastic future.

Commitment and modesty personified Jocelyn took a keen interest in the VCC and eagerly awaited the arrival of Blowout the local Club monthly newsletter and also Beaded Wheels.

OBITUARY

J

ocelyn Hosken shared motoring memories with us in a column published on 28 July 2017.

We had often enjoyed speaking with Jocelyn prior to that and we have often done so since.

Last year Jocelyn had clocked up 49 years membership of the Vintage Car Club.

Just two week ago she excitedly showed us her invitation to attend a function on 19 July at which she would receive her 50-year membership badge.

She agreed we could mention this so we had planned to do so in this column this week. But as it sometimes does, fate intervened, and sadly Jocelyn passed away peacefully on July 2, 2018.

Jocelyn is one of a group of dedicated stalwarts who have made the local Branch of the Vintage Car Club what it is today.

Previously a sub branch of Canterbury, and needing a prescribed minimum membership to gain Branch status, without their determination it would not have started when it did.

Last year Jocelyn told us that prior to seeing some lovely old vehicles she wasn’t really all that interested in cars.

By her own admission she simply thought “a car is a car”.

But it all changed when Jocelyn and her late husband Ray followed the 1965 International Rally around the McKenzie

Country before it stopped in Ashburton.

She and Ray, a talented engineer, decided vintage motoring could be fun, so the search was on for a car.

It had to be an American convertible.

They found what they were looking for – a 1927 Buick – in a shed in Oamaru. After a bit of persuasion, the Buick burst into life and the family drove it home during Labour Weekend 1965. The car was in need of restoration and Jocelyn remembered a sympathetic traffic officer in Winchester “turning his head the other way”.

Back home Ray immediately began a ground-up nuts and bolts restoration, and incredibly the family were able to drive the car into town on Christmas Eve with everything but the upholstery finished.

Two days later on Boxing Day they drove it to Christchurch to deliver Ray’s application for Vintage Car Club membership.

Ray, supported by Jocelyn, became ac-

tively involved and after one Annual Meeting he arrived home to tell Jocelyn the club had elected a new secretary. Jocelyn asked “who was appointed?” Ray replied “you”.

So Jocelyn became a full member too and that was the beginning of her continuous membership of 50 years.

Jocelyn also got her own car – a Whippet.

Five decades of membership has been a source of enjoyment and happy memories for her.

Looking back Jocelyn recalled lots of hard work, especially fundraising, combined with great camaraderie and a lots of funny incidents.

And when she recounted them it was always with a twinkle in her eye, usually accompanied by a little chuckle and a delightful grin.

Speaking during the celebration of Jocelyn’s life earlier this week, her sister Judy Kingsbury spoke of an elder sister who was

very protective of her younger siblings.

Judy said her sister’s interest in horsepower began with a love of horses.

She was an accomplished rider and played other sports as well. Judy says Jocelyn found fun in life and helped others do the same.

Always generous in her praise of others, Jocelyn was modest about her own achievements.

Blessed with an incredible memory, Jocelyn was a great source of knowledge which she willingly shared.

Jocelyn Hosken never lost interest in the things she considered important and which mattered to her, especially the Vintage Car Club. She and other members organised a very successful celebration when the Ashburton Branch celebrated its silver anniversary and was delighted it will be turning 50 next year.

Jocelyn’s immense contribution has not only been to the Vintage Car Club but to all aspects of vintage motoring.

The Guardian Motoring Team have always appreciated the encouragement we received from Jocelyn. We offer her sister and brother-in-law Judy and Michael Kingsbury and wider family members our condolences.

These words about Jocelyn are a little different than those this week, but they are written with a real sense of gratitude for having known a lady who through her commitment to various activities has enhanced our world and brightened our lives.

Those purple flares ...

P

eter McQuarters’ columns in this newspaper are always eagerly awaited and always worth a read.

Take for example his composition from just over a week ago.

That was the one in which he took us back in time and reminded us of some of the great venues – most now just memories – which we frequented.

It’s also the column in which he mentioned buying a pair of purple pants.

And in case he’s not aware of it already it’s the column which has in some circles seen him now being affectionately referred to as Peter Purple-Pants Mac. By reminiscing Peter has brought back memories for many people of what may be thought of as a simpler time.

But was it?

Around that time Bob Dylan sung “the times they are a changing”.

He was right and change they did.

On the music scene along came the Beatles, Woodstock and no end of musicians, either solo performers or groups, some one-hit wonders and others now regarded as icons, who changed what we listened to.

Of course our choice of radio stations and TV channels was limited and as Peter mentioned if we wanted to play our favourite music at home we probably went along to see Warner Harris to buy a record.

A record?

For those of you who don’t know they were like a big black vinyl CD with a hole in the middle.

But as some other wise person has said, the more things change the more they are the same.

Vinyl is back!

Peter mentioned we probably purchased our records downtown on Friday night where shops were open and we all went to see who was about.

There were no bars as we know them now and opening hours were limited but some entrepreneurial types had set up places like Aquarius.

Presumably named because we had just entered the Age of Aquarius, which of course was the title of a song featured in the stage production Hair.

It was considered an outrageous show because after one costume change the whole cast remembered to take their clothes off but forgot to replace them.

For maybe 30 seconds they aired their differences.

Somehow they got past the then strict censorship rules (remember Patricia Bartlett?), but not before a surge of protest from do-gooders who proclaimed the show was the devil’s work and would result in hellfire and brimstone descending upon us from on high.

The end would be nigh!

That didn’t happen, or if it did we slept through it, but the promoters of the show thought their prayers had

been answered – the protest drew attention to the costume change or in fact lack of it and boosted ticket sales no end.

The outrageous scene – especially from the cheap seats – was all a bit of a blur, which a friend has suggested was probably because our specifically-purchased rather cheap binoculars steamed up.

Before Aquarius opened in Tancred Street another mysterious venue operated nearby.

The Spider’s Web. If memory serves correctly it appeared to be a dark, almost creepy, place where for some reason an age restriction may have applied, which conjured up thoughts of nefarious goings-on and of course made it even more tantalising to those of us underage at the time.

My friend Peter Cooper – who is both older and wiser than me – not only knew about it, he’d been there and in hushed tones described it.

With that came confusion – I knew Peter would never be involved in anything noto-

rious and somehow I manged to persuade him to sneak me in.

Secretly we delved into this den where the décor befitting its name featured scary webs and large drawing and models of the species Araneae, or in other words, spiders.

It turned out strange happenings occurred within.

Did this involve the occult?

Not quite.

Turned out people who patronised this dimly-lit den discussed issues of importance but they did consume a somewhat uncommon concoction.

Coffee!

Downtown Ashburton was a great place in those times; no doubt there was the odd bit of mischief, but by and large it was all good-natured fun.

As Peter said a feed could be had – and a great feed at that – at places like the pie carts, burger bars,

Aquarius or the wonderful Malibu Steak House, where the Marauder Special was a real favourite.

Remember them?

A pocket of beef schnitzel stuffed with ham, cheese and asparagus, accompanied with potatoes and peas with two famous pieces of triangular buttered white bread.

Lots of people remember that appetising dish, but no one seems to have any idea how or why it got its name.

Anyone know?

But things were a-changin’, we were – according to one of the first bits of graffiti this writer became aware of – being yanked into Vietnam.

An example of the mural philosophy Simon and Garfunkel referred in their lyrics “the words of the prophets are written on subway walls and tenement halls”, the Beatles invaded America and there was the summer of love and of course Woodstock, which introduced us to Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix.

It was happening man!

And if you weren’t there you were apparently square.

Peter Purple-Pants Mac has left this writer and many other readers with some great memories, but also queries; did we realise back then the times were a-changin’?

But more importantly were Peter’s purple pants flared, and has he still got them.

And if so do they still fit or have they shrunk?

OUR VIEW

Scams – awareness best defence T

he thought of some sick and twisted individuals scamming some of our locals out of money is heartbreaking.

We often hear stories of people being done over by lowlife pieces of scum who think it’s their godgiven right to ring people and try and con them out of their hard earned dollars, but rarely do we hear of it happening on our own backdoor step.

Unfortunately, one of the toughest things to distinguish is the difference between actual businesses calling for legitimate reasons and those who for some reason seem to think they are above everyone else.

The biggest concern is their relentless nature in the pursuit of a pay day.

Here at the Guardian we have upward of 30 phones, with 30 different numbers.

Every so often we’ll endure a day of these groups ringing up each and every number in the building, obviously because the

number from phone to phone usually only changes by one digit.

Yet, no matter how often they ring and no matter how often they hear the same story from the person who picks up, which in here is often the same person each time, they don’t give up.

I’ve held arguments with them over the validity of their claims, the usual rubbish that there is an issue with my PC isn’t dissuaded when I mention that there are 30 terminals in front of me.

Our latest case of scamming is one of the most concerning yet.

We’re not talking chump change, we are talking some serious money – in excess of $100,000.

The chances of getting that money back is always minimal and with such a life-changing amount on the line, it’s frustrating to think that we seem to be getting nowhere with these crooked individuals who are sitting almost in front of us and taking money without even raising a sweat.

The best thing we can do as a community is be aware – and be prepared to talk about it.

We need to spread the word that these people are on the move around our district and we need to ensure that as many people as possible are aware of what they are trying to do to con people out of their money.

Through word of mouth, their plan of attack will quickly find itself blunted when automatically people begin hearing the same story as they’ve been told.

We don’t want to hear another story of someone being done out of their money by these lowlifes.

So, every little bit we can do to ensure it doesn’t happen is hugely important for our district.

Luckily it’s not something we seem to come across often, or at least something we hear about, and it would be good to never have to hear about it again.

But that’s only going to happen if we are aware and educated on what is exactly going on.

Sydney, took place to raise money for Africa’s starving people.

In 1999, Angel Maturino Resendiz, suspected of being the Railroad Killer, surrendered in El Paso, Texas. (Resendiz was executed in 2006.)

Ten years ago: An assault by militants on a remote US base in Afghanistan close to the Pakistan border killed nine American soldiers and wounded 15. Anheuser-Busch agreed to a takeover by giant Belgian brewer InBev SA. Five years ago: A jury in Sanford, Florida, cleared neighbourhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman of all charges in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, the

unarmed black teenager whose killing unleashed furious debate over racial profiling, self-defence and equal justice. Actor Cory Monteith, who’d shot to fame in the hit TV series Glee but was beset by addiction struggles, was found dead in a hotel room in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; he was 31.

One year ago: A federal judge in Hawaii weakened President Donald Trump’s travel ban by vastly expanding the list of US family relationships that visitors from six Muslim-majority countries could use to get into the country.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, July 13, the 194th day of 2018. There are 171 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On July 13, 1960, John F. Kennedy won the Democratic presidential nomination on the first ballot at his party’s convention in Los Angeles, outdrawing rivals including Lyndon B. Johnson, Stuart Symington and Adlai Stevenson.

On this date: In 1787, the Congress of the Confederation adopted the Northwest Ordinance, which established a government in the Northwest Territory, an area corresponding to the eastern half of the present-day Midwest.

In 1793, French revolutionary writer Jean-Paul Marat was stabbed to death in his bath

by Charlotte Corday, who was executed four days later.

In 1863, deadly rioting against the Civil War military draft erupted in New York City. (The insurrection was put down three days later.)

In 1923, a sign consisting of 15-metre-tall letters spelling out “HOLLYWOODLAND” was dedicated in the Hollywood Hills to promote a subdivision (the last four letters were removed in 1949).

In 1939, Frank Sinatra made his first commercial recording, From the Bottom of My Heart and Melancholy Mood, with Harry James and his Orchestra for the Brunswick label.

In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson nominated Thurgood Marshall to be US Solicitor General; Marshall became the first black jurist appointed to the post.

In 1977, a blackout hit New York City in the mid-evening as lightning strikes on electrical equipment caused power to fail; widespread looting broke out.

In 1978, Lee Iacocca was fired as president of Ford Motor Co. by chairman Henry Ford II. In 1985, Live Aid, an international rock concert in London, Philadelphia, Moscow and

had the pleasure of meeting our new Senior Sergeant Philip Dean this week. He popped into the studio for the first of his weekly catch-ups on Tuesday morning.

He seems like a really good bloke. One thing that came across clearly to me is how much he cares about ‘community’. Singing from the same song sheet there!

One part of the chat I hope hit home with all drivers listening, was his tips on avoiding a ticket from the boys and girls in blue.

The tip has four simple elements and spells out RIDS, to make it nice and easy to remember.

for Restraint, pretty obvious one, belt up before you drive. I reckon thanks to the annoying bell in the cars these days, this is a given. for Impairment, don’t drive if you’ve been drinking or partaking in drugs. for Distraction, leave the phone alone if you’re behind the wheel. for Speed. Once again an obvious one.

The distraction point is a major bug bear of mine at the moment. The number of people you see behind the wheel texting these days is unreal. Things happen fast enough on the road, even when you are giving it your full attention.

On Tuesday morning, I came very close to losing my rag and blasting my horn TWICE at texting drivers ON THE BRIDGE. Believe it or not, I see texting drivers on the bridge most days.

If that wasn’t bad enough, it was as I was heading home for a break just after 9am and the sun strike for those heading north was really bad. Not only is this incredibly stupid but it’s also blinkin’ selfish. There’s not a lot of bail out options on a bridge you plonkers!

Air NZ partners with JetBlue Air New Zealand has entered a partnership with the innovation arm of United States airline JetBlue Airways that has already invested in flying cars and electric planes.

The airlines announced an international innovation partnership around JetBlue Technology Ventures (JTV), the venture capital subsidiary of JetBlue Airways, a Silicon-Valley-based company, which incubates, invests in, and partners with early-stage startups.

Among JetBlue Technology’s existing moves has been an investment in Joby Aviation, a startup that’s developed an electric-powered short hop vertical takeoff taxi and Zunum Aero, a US company that’s developing a hybrid battery powered plane capable of flying up to 12 passengers more than 1000km by 2022.

JTV says it is also working with early stage startups that use artificial intelligence, big data analytics, Internet-of-Things (IoT) and blockchain technology.

“We’ve immersed ourselves in the startup scene like no airline has done before. Our small, but nimble group is empowered to

make decisions and embrace ideas that may seem crazy in today’s paradigm but will become mainstream in the future. We are partnering with emerging companies to completely transform the travel industry.’’

The technology venture was looking outside the aviation sector, investing in Recharge, a pay by the hour hotel booking system, Flyr, which harnesses big data to predict airfares and Mozio, which allows ground transport comparisons.

Air New Zealand says the partnership with JTV gives it access to emerging technologies and an entrance into the Silicon Valley innovation environment.

“Together the two companies, along with future partners, will build a network to better address changes coming to the travel industry as well as improve efficiencies within the existing infrastructure,’’ the airlines said.

Air New Zealand chief executive Christopher Luxon said his airline had a proud history of product innovation and the new deal was part of the aim of redefining air travel.

On the contrary, global markets started the week on an upbeat note, following better than expected jobs data out of the US and looked ahead to what is expected to be another strong corporate earnings season. Yet, markets turned to the downside after the Trump Administration proposed tariffs on an additional $US200 billion worth of Chinese goods.

Investors have been rattled by the recent escalation in trade relations, however a strong corporate earnings could outweigh the negative sentiment.

Overall, it is expected to be another impressive reporting season, with markets expecting revenue growth of 8.8 per cent and 20.0 per cent earnings growth for the S&P 500. This would make for the second strongest quarter for earnings since 2010, and the second consecutive quarter of earnings growth of at least 20.0 per cent per annum.

All 11 sectors are forecast to see an increase in earnings from a year earlier.

Global markets were given a boost at the start of the week after a positive US jobs report. The US economy added 213,000 jobs in June, beating expectations, after surging up by an upwardly revised 244,000 jobs in May. This makes it the third strongest month this year and brings the total to nearly 1.3 million year-to-date.

The increase in the labour force is an encouraging sign because a surge of workers returning to the

labour force attributes to strong job prospects as well as rising wages. On that note, wages rose by 2.7 per cent over the past year, improving from the 2.4 per cent average over the past four years.

Meanwhile, the US unemployment rate rose to 4.0 per cent in June from 3.8 per cent in May, which was the lowest reading since 1969. The increase was thought to have been impacted by the number of temporary school jobs ending for the summer.

Over in the UK, Theresa May urgently needed to reshuffle her team after a string of resignations over her Brexit strategy plunged her government into crisis. Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, has been named as the new Foreign Secretary after Boris Johnson quit, accusing May of pursuing a semiBrexit. His departure followed that of Brexit secretary David Davis, as well as a string of junior ministers.

May said she was “sorry – and a little surprised” by Johnson’s move after his apparent recent support.

In corporate news, market darling, The a2 Milk Company, provided a FY18 trading update and FY19 outlook to the market on Thursday. The company said revenue generated in the 2018 financial year was $922 million, representing growth on the prior period of 68 per cent. This was ahead of market estimates of $914 million. The company expects

EBITDA margins of approximately 30 per cent, which was also slightly ahead of expectations of around 29.6 per cent. Looking ahead and assuming general conditions don’t change, the company expects further growth in revenue, particularly in respect of nutritional products as well as higher overhead costs in FY2019.

Retirement village operator, Summerset Group, advised that its underlying profit for the six months ending June is forecast to be between $43 million and $45 million. This reflects growth of between 21 per cent and 26 per cent on the same period of 2017. The company will release its annual earnings on August 22.

Skellerup announced that it is acquiring a 35 per cent stake in US-based liquid silicone rubber manufacturer, Sim Lim, for $US1.1 million. The odourless and hygienic properties of liquid silicon rubber, is suited for sterile environments and are used in high-precision medical and consumer products. The product will help Skellerup’s strategy to focus on highly specialised rubber and plastic componentry.

Off the main index, transport technology services company, EROAD, saw its share price tumble this week following the release of its quarterly update. Unit sales for the first quarter were much slower than expected, as many deals have been pushed out beyond the quarter.

■ NETBALL

Champs a huge learning experience

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

When Sarah Lassen headed away to the national under-17 netball championships as coach of the Mid Canterbury team last year, she had no idea what to expect.

But this year, in her second year coaching the side, she knows exactly what awaits her young side.

The under-17 nationals are being played in Palmerston North from July 16-19, and Lassen knows it won’t be easy for Mid Canterbury.

Her side’s build-up has been mixed. They’ve had some good results at the tournaments they’ve attended so far this season, including finishing second at a tournament in Dunedin a couple of weekends ago, after losing to Central Southland by one in the final.

But they’ve also struggled with injury, losing key players like Dani McArthur and Amy Pearson in the past few weeks.

No matter what the outcome is, the tournament will be a huge learning experience for the young Mid Canterbury side, Lassen said. There’s just two players in this year’s team who were part of the team who went to nationals last year.

“It’s good to experience the high-quality refs and just the variety of players and what each team brings to the table. It’s an amazing learning experience,” Lassen said.

Mid Canterbury finished 26th last year and Lassen said the side’s goal is to finish higher than that.

“I’m hoping for 22nd or better. I think it’s possible to have a movement of four,” Lassen said.

Lassen said North Island netball teams play a very different style to South Island teams. South Island teams play more man-on-man, and with each team facing two games per day, they’d have to adjust quickly.

Zoe Beckley and Faith Scott perfect getting the ball into the shooting circle during one of the Mid Canterbury Under-17 netball side’s training sessions.

Tahs face Brumbies

The last time Kelsey Ashworth and her Mainland netball side played in Ashburton, the biggest crowd they’d seen all season watched on. The side is back in Ashburton on Sunday, against South.

Mainland returns, but it’s a must-win situation

By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

A week ago they were in the box seat to make the 2018 Beko Netball League, but now Mainland’s grand final hopes hinge on a must-win clash in Ashburton on Sunday.

Mainland are set to take on South in the final round of the national netball league at Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre – the second time the Mainland side has played in Ashburton this season – and if they want to have a shot at the title decider they have to win, and are relying on other results to go their way.

Mainland were top of the table a week ago, but lost to Central in Lincoln last weekend 46-39, and all of a sudden they didn’t even feature in the top two anymore.

Waikato/Bay of Plenty (WBOP) were now in the box seat, after smashing South in the penultimate round 82-45, a result which shot them up to the top of the table in front of sec-

ond placed Central.

Mainland were still a chance of making the final of the league – a step below the ANZ Championship in which the Mainland Tactix played – but would need a big win over South, and for other results to go their way.

South had been on the wrong end of some big scores so far this season, including a 57-32 loss to Mainland just three weeks ago, but Mainland wouldn’t be reading anything into that, the side’s coach Ronelle van Dongen said.

“They have also had a win against Central, who we lost to last weekend, so we certainly won’t be taking them lightly,” van Dongen said.

Last weekend’s loss to Central was one of just three losses Mainland had suffered in what had been a tight competition so far, and van Dongen said they’d need to meet the ball strongly and be decisive on attack if they were to beat South and give themselves the best chance possible to make the final.

WBOP topped the table now, but with arguably the toughest end to the season of all teams, they could be hard-pressed to hold onto that. They were set to take on the Northern Marvels this weekend, a side which had found form after a convincing 70-51 win over the Northern Comets on Sunday.

The 19-goal win was the highest score they’d posted this season and was just their second win despite having pushed all the teams to within a few goals.

Anyone had been capable of beating anyone on their day this season, and Mainland were desperately hoping everything would go their way this weekend, including producing a big win to give Ashburton netball fans something to celebrate.

Van Dongen said the last time her side played in Ashburton – their round four win over WBOP in Ashburton – the town’s netball fans really got behind them.

“I think it was the biggest crowd we have had all year

by far, so we are hoping it will be well supported again,” van Dongen said.

Van Dongen grew up in Ashburton, while her assistant coach Andrea Cousins lived in Ashburton, and one of the side’s key mid-courters this season – Kelsey Ashworth – was also a product of Ashburton.

Not included in the initial squad when it was named at the start of the season, Ashworth had been called in due to injuries and had proven her worth.

She is still in the squad and still in the mix to get game time on Sunday.

There’s no semi-finals so after this weekend it’s straight to the grand final for the top two teams. The 2018 Beko Netball League Grand Final will be played at Auckland’s Pulman Arena at 2.10pm on July 29.

Sunday’s game at Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre would start at 1.10pm. The cost to get in will be $5 for adults, with kids under 16 free.

The NSW Waratahs’ “lightweight” forwards are bracing for a big test against a beefed up Brumbies pack featuring skyscraper locks Rory and Richie Arnold starting together in Super Rugby for the first time Waratahs coach Daryl Gibson yesterday named an unchanged team for Saturday’s Super Rugby final round clash at Allianz Stadium, backing those who produced the 77-25 win over the Sunwolves to clinch the Australian conference.

Medal system queried The NRL will consider changing the voting mechanism that saw Billy Slater emerge as the shock recipient of the Wally Lewis medal for the best player across the State of Origin series. But who polled what will remain a secret, with chief executive Todd Greenberg saying it wouldn’t be “fair” on judges Mal Meninga, Darren Lockyer and Laurie Daley to reveal their votes. Slater became the first player to claim the medal from the losing side of an Origin series when he was awarded the honour after Queensland’s game-three win on Wednesday.

Lealiifano to stay?

Brumbies coach Dan McKellar is confident that co-captain Christian Lealiifano will remain at the Super Rugby club next year. The former Wallabies playmaker has signed to play in Japan once the Brumbies’ season comes to an end and is yet to agree a return to Canberra in 2019. However, McKellar believes Lealiifano will extend his decadelong spell with the Brumbies for at least another year. The first-year coach says he doesn’t feel the need to talk to Lealiifano about where his future lies until after the Brumbies’ campaign concludes.

In brief Another shotput star New Zealand has another young shot put star. Madison-Lee Wesche has followed the footsteps of Valerie Adams and Jacko Gill to claim gold at the world under-20 championships. Wesche won the title in Tampere, Finland with her winning attempt of 17.09m coming on her final throw of the competition. Wesche was sitting third before setting a new personal best with the gold medal throw, edging out China’s Linru Zhang and Jorinde van Klinken who both finished with 17.05m. New Zealand has won three golds at previous world under-20 championships – all in the shot put with Gill claiming two titles and Adams one. - NZME

■ WORLD CUP FOOTBALL

Final a first for Croatia Croatia’s legs seemed heavy, burdened by the accumulated toll of consecutive penalty-kicks wins needed to get this far. England had gone ahead with a free kick just five minutes in, dominated play and appeared headed to its first World Cup final since 1966.

Then the second half started and it was as if a different Croatian team had replaced the lethargic one.

Ivan Perisic tied the score in the 68th minute, Mario Mandzukic got the go-ahead goal in the 109th and Croatia shocked England with a 2-1 victory yesterday that advanced a nation of just over four million to a World Cup final against France.

“Mentally strong team,” midfielder Ivan Rakitic said. “It’s just unbelievable to get back in the game in this way.”

When the final whistle blew and they knew they were going to their first World Cup final, the Croatians ran to their jumping and cheering fans in their iconic red-and-white checkered jerseys.

Croatia joined an exclusive club of 13 nations that advanced to a World Cup final, doing it in a tournament where powers Brazil, Germany, Argentina and Spain made early exits.

“They’ve had an incredible route to the final. They’ve shown remarkable character,” said England coach Gareth Southgate, who for now will be remembered more for a fashionable waistcoat than ending a half-century of

hurt. France, which won its only title at home in 1998, will have an extra day of rest after beating Belgium 1-0 Wednesday.

Croatia, coming off 360 intense minutes at soccer’s highest level, faces its biggest sporting moment since becoming an independent nation in 1991.

“We started slowly, but we’ve shown our character, just as we did in the previous two knockout rounds when we were one-goal down,” Perisic said.

Fans back home in Zagreb took to the streets to celebrate, lighting flares and waving flags in a sea of exuberance.

“We are a nation of people who never give in, who are proud and who have character,” said coach Zlatko Dalic, who wore a checkered jersey to his post-match news conference. “There’s no weakness in a team that is in the final.”

England was not among the top 10 nations in ticket sales before the tournament, but the team’s progress caused gallivanting supporters to flock to Moscow.

The front of the stands behind one goal was filled with more than two dozen white banners with a red Cross of St. George, pledging support from many of the island’s clubs, from Bradford to Wolverhampton.

Back home, a crowd of 30,000 was in London’s Hyde Park for a large-screen viewing, the British Beer and Pub Association predicted supporters would buy 10

million extra pints at pubs during the match, and No.1 Court at Wimbledon was less than onethird full for the men’s quarter-final between John Isner and Milos Raonic.

Promise seemed about to be fulfilled when Kieran Trippier curled in a free kick in the fifth minute for his first international goal, above leaping Dejan Lovren and Mandzukic and past the desperate dive of goalkeeper Danijel Subasic. Choruses of God Save the Queen began in England’s end.

“We had a couple chances after that to get the second, give ourselves a bit more breathing room,” England captain Harry Kane said.

Football will not be coming home to England, and there will be no title to match the 1966 triumph at Wembley Stadium.

Kane & Co. will deal with the same disappointment that felled Shearer and Platt, Gazza and Wazza, Beckham and Gerrard. And Southgate, whose penalty-kick failure led to England’s previous semi-final loss in a major tournament, in the 1996 European Championship semi-finals.

“Impossible to say anything to them that is going to make them feel better at this point,” Southgate said after England’s fourth straight loss in a major tournament semi-final.

Croatia tied the score after Rakitic switched the ball from left flank to right, where Vrsaljko

crossed. Kyle Walker attempted a diving header to clear. Perisic jumped and from behind raised his left boot over Walker’s head to poke the ball past goalkeeper Jordan Pickford from about 8 metres for his fourth World Cup goal, including two in this tournament.

Mandzukic scored after Walker stuck out a leg to block Josip Pivaric’s cross. The ball popped up, and Perisic out-jumped Trippier to head the ball toward goal.

Mandzukic alertly reacted to the unexpected ball in the penalty area, splitting defenders Stones and Harry Maguire, who both had taken four short steps up.

The ball bounced twice, Mandzukic ran onto it and one-timed a low, left-footed shot to Pickford’s left.

“Three times 120 minutes and fresher legs today than the English team,” Lovren marveled.

Mandzukic ran to a corner and was mobbed by teammates, who jumped on him and trapped photographers under them in the crush.

Not long after, Dalic was thinking about the short recovery time before the final.

“It’s our fault. Why didn’t we score earlier?” he said. “Why didn’t we finish the job in regulation time?”

Rakitic wasn’t worried.

“We still have lots of energy in the tank,” he said.

Croatia will face France in the final at 3am on Monday (NZ time).

Code of conduct close A set of guidelines detailing what is expected of Australian cricketers is one step closer to fruition, with Rick McCosker having completed more than 50 interviews. Former opener McCosker is leading one of two formal cultural reviews being held after the Cape Town cheating scandal, with Cricket Australia also commissioning the Ethics Centre to independently scrutinise the governing body. McCosker’s player review is being aided by a panel of Tim Paine, Pat Cummins, Rachael Haynes, Shane Watson, George Bailey and Justin Langer. The Centre for Ethical Leadership’s Peter Collins is acting as a facilitator.

Bunker for A-League The A-League will follow the example set by the NRL’s bunker and the World Cup in Russia by creating a centralised facility for the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system. In response the technical glitch that marred last season’s grand final, all VAR decisions next season will be made in the same location. It should mean there is sufficient back-up in the event of another software failure, like the one that occurred just before Melbourne Victory’s Kosta Barbarouses scored the only goal of the grand final. There was a clear offside in the build-up but the VAR was unable to intervene because of the embarrassing malfunction.

Rance re-signs Richmond champion Alex Rance has tied his future to the AFL premiers, signing a two-year contract extension with the Tigers.

One of the best players of his generation, Rance had been due to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of 2019 but has committed to stay at Richmond until 2021. The Tigers vice-captain is a four-time All-Australian and helped lead his side to a droughtbreaking premiership last season.

Switzerland’s Roger Federer grimaces after losing a point during the fifth set of his men’s quarter-finals match against Kevin Anderson of South Africa at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, in London, yesterday.

■ TENNIS

The Fed shot down Roger Federer was a point away from a rather tidy, straight-set victory in the Wimbledon quarter-finals. One lousy point.

And then, slowly, over the next two-plus hours, all the way until the fifth set reached its 24th game, as the temperature dropped and the spectators’ cries of “Let’s go, Roger!” echoed through the shadows, everything came apart for the eight-time champion. Against an opponent who’d never beaten him nor made it this far at the All England Club.

In a stunning turnaround in an unfamiliar setting — No. 1 Court instead of Centre Court — the top-seeded Federer blew a third-set match point and, eventually, all of his big lead in a 2-6, 6-7 (5), 7-5, 6-4, 1311 loss to No. 8 Kevin Anderson yesterday in a 4-hour, 14-minute tussle.

“It was just one of those days where you hope to get by somehow,” said Federer, who last played at No. 1 Court in 2015. “I almost could have. I should have.”

While his tournament is over, two of his long-time rivals at the top of tennis set up a semi-final showdown: Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Nadal, who’s won two of his 17 Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon, edged 2009 US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro 7-5, 6-7 (7), 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 in a wildly entertaining match that featured diving shots by both and lasted 4 hours, 48 minutes.

Djokovic, whose 12 major championships include three from the All England Club, got to his first Grand Slam semi-final since 2016 by beating No. 24 seed Kei Nishikori 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2.

In Friday’s other men’s match, Anderson will face No. 9 John Isner, the 33-yearold American who reached his first major semi-final in his 41st try by eliminating 2016 runner-up Milos Raonic 6-7 (5), 7-6 (7), 6-4, 6-3. Isner hit 25 aces, saved the only break point he faced, and has won all 95 of his service games in the tournament.

Anderson was the runner-up to Nadal at last year’s US Open, but he never made it beyond the fourth round at Wimbledon until this week. He hit 28 aces against Federer, saved nine of 12 break points and managed to hold his own in the rare lengthy baseline rallies.

“It’s like that with the big servers,” Federer said. “You’re never really safe.”

As the fifth set became as much a test of mental strength as anything, from 4-all to 6-all to 8-all to 10-all, Anderson stayed steady. It was Federer who blinked, double-faulting to face a break point at 11-all, then slapping a forehand into the net.

Anderson, a 32-year-old South African who played college tennis at Illinois, served it out, ending things with a 128mph service winner before raising both arms.

■ UFC

Kiwis crack top 15 ranks Bigger bouts await Kiwi UFC fighters Dan Hooker and Israel Adesanya with the pair cracking the top 15 rankings for the first time.

Both fighters won bouts over the weekend in Las Vegas and, now both riding long winning streaks, have been rewarded by the promotion.

Adesanya, who fights in the middleweight class, beat then No.8 ranked Brad Tavares by unanimous decision in the first five-round main event of his UFC career. He took the Hawaiian apart in the five five-minute rounds and has climbed into the top 10 as a result.

The 28-year-old debuted in the rankings at No.9, overtaking

Tavares who dropped to tenth.

Hooker, who knocked out Brazilian Gilbert Burns in less than three minutes, made his rankings debut at No.14 in the stacked lightweight division and said now he would be in line to fight guys he felt were at his level.

“That just means that other guys in the rankings will take a fight with me,” Hooker said.

“It’s something I had to do to get the fights that I want to get.

“It’s really important in getting the bigger name guys to accepting a fight with me. Now that I’m in the rankings there will be a lot of guys come after me or want my position.”

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Humans make mistakes. The way we get things wrong can be spectacular, or subtle and interesting. Mistakes can draw us together or pull us apart. It’s a day to be open-minded and forgiving.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You love to be around talented people and/or experience extreme talent through whatever medium you can.

Right now you’re a sponge, and you can absorb a little of the magic as you observe it.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The solution is three steps.

First, decide not to stress. Second, let go.

And third, move on. Do them fast, without too much thinking. Of course, it will help to know what you’re moving on to do.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): People will try and talk you out of your decisions. Perhaps they are well-meaning, but you’ve good reasons for your current position. Take their opinions into consideration, but don’t defer to anyone today.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You need a new perspective on the old scenery, but you’re not going to get it staring at the same thing day after day. Go out into some new scenery, and when you come back things will look different to you.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Tolerance does not mean sticking around where harm (or even irritation) could come to you. You can leave.

You can have a “you do you” attitude and then get far away from that noise.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): To act against our own beliefs is common human folly. We are always negotiating with our animal nature, which often has stronger needs and agendas than we realise. Forgive yourself, and try again.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’re so creative today, and you can trust your spontaneous instincts.

You’ll be delighted by life’s unpredictable answers, because you dare to ask the unpredictable questions.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Whether your action results in success or failure is irrelevant. What’s important is that you follow through, honouring your convictions. Action increases confidence.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You choose your work or family situation or institution of education not because you’ll be great there but because you need to learn the lessons available there. This is done either consciously or unconsciously.

Friday, 13 July 2018

A ridge over much of New Zealand slowly moves away to the east today, allowing a northerly flow to build over the country. Meanwhile, the remains of a weak front lingers across northern New Zealand. Northeasterlies strengthen over New Zealand tomorrow ahead of a complex trough expected to move across the country.

TASMAN BOUND

BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Two Ashburton women are set to take to the turf as part of the Tasman women’s team at a national tournament later this year.

Hampstead senior women’s players Hannah Mowat, 25, and Kim Campion, 27, have been selected in the team which will compete in the national senior women’s tournament which will run alongside the National Hockey League (NHL) Tournament in September.

It might be a tier below the top NHL competition, but both women knew it would be tough hockey.

Mowat has been there before, playing for the Canterbury equivalent of the Tasman team she was now in a few years ago.

That year, she made a tournament team and through that made connections which led her and Campion pulling on the Tasman colours in 2018.

Mowat had kept in touch with people from Tasman and received an email asking if she and Campion would like to trial for them.

So, several weeks ago the two made the long drive north to give it a shot.

“We didn’t really know where we sat but we had a feeling they wouldn’t really be asking us to go all that way if we weren’t worth looking at,” Mowat said.

There was only one senior women’s team in Blenheim, so they played in the men’s competition, and Mowat – who had only just played her fourth game this season after having surgery on her jaw 11 weeks ago – wasn’t sure her fitness was up to the level of some of the other players.

Campion – who had also played a lot of age group hockey for Canterbury – wasn’t sure if she’d make the cut either.

“You never know, and there were I think 10 or 11 that actually couldn’t get to the trials weekend that were still in contention,

so I had no idea what sort of players they were. “So, it was mostly unknown,” Campion said.

But by the end of the weekend, both were in the team.

“After the two days we were just about to come back down to Ashburton and the coach pulled us aside and let us know that he was keen to have us in the team, so that was cool I suppose, because it was a big effort to get up there,” Campion said.

The team is likely to have warm-up games in Christchurch before they headed to the national tournament, so there wouldn’t be a lot of trips to Marlborough between now and then, leaving both Mowat and Campion to focus on their regular duties for Hampstead and work on their own fitness.

“We’ve just started training with the Wakanui men.

“They train just after us, so just to train along side them is great. It’s so much faster and they’re obviously very strong, very

powerful and very fit,” Mowat said.

Hope was high in the Tasman camp ahead of this year’s tournament.

“We’ve been told by the Tasman coach that they are going to win it,” Mowat said.

“It sounds like they have come off second best quite a bit.”

When Mowat played for Canterbury, they played Tasman in the play-off for third and just pipped them. It sounded like Tasman’s campaigns had ended in a similar fashion in other seasons too, Mowat said.

But Mowat and Campion were hoping they could help to turn that around.

First, though, they were hoping to help their club side to victory.

Both were in their first season back playing in Mid Canterbury, and their Hampstead side was yet to be beaten this season in the Mid/South Canterbury senior women’s competition. It’s a streak they were hoping would continue when the competition resumes on July 21.
