Vet’s dismissal ruled unjustified

BY COLIN WILLISCROFT

IN TODAY’S GUARDIAN Ashburton App

THE

An Ashburton vet has been awarded just over $23,000 for unjustified dismissal, although her former employer says the company still considers itself a fair and reasonable employer.

Kasia Chapman-Labecka received one month’s notice after she was made redundant from her part-time position at Vetlife’s Ashburton and Methven clinics in December 2015 and she was not selected for a remaining part-time role at the company’s Ashburton clinic.

She had been employed by the company since 2003.

Vetlife managing director Adrian

Campbell told the Employment Relations Authority that 2015 was a difficult year for the company. The east coast drought had affected Vetlife’s clients significantly and that, combined with the impact of low dairy milksolids returns, led to a reduction in the amount dairy farmers were able to spend on agricultural service companies, such as vets.

That had a long-term impact on the business, he said.

Due to the challenging economic conditions, Vetlife assessed the operation of all 18 of its clinics and head office in order to identify ways to reduce and manage costs within the business, including staff costs.

Ashburton at your fingertips

As a result of the review and subsequent meetings with affected staff, including Chapman-Labecka, Vetlife decided to cut a part-time companion vet role from its Ashburton clinic.

At that stage Chapman-Labecka was considered to be one of those potentially affected by the proposal, along with another staff member.

Vetlife interviewed both employees for a remaining part-time companion vet role at the company’s Ashburton clinic and gave the job to the other employee.

■ ASHBURTON WATER ZONE COMMITTEE

Get ready to help make our district beautiful

By Colin WillisCroft

Colin.w@theguardian.Co.nz

The plants have arrived and everything else is falling into place for the community planting day being held near the Ashburton River on Sunday.

Organised by the Ashburton Water Zone Committee, the event is part of what will be an ongoing project to make the district a more beautiful place for everyone to enjoy, committee member Angela Cushnie said.

About 500 native plants will be on-hand to be planted along part of the bike and walking track that runs along the riverbank south of State Highway One. Cushnie said the event is suitable for all ages and encouraged people to bring sturdy footwear, gloves and a shovel if they have one.

Those who take part will also be encouraged to come up with ideas about what can be done to improve recreation values in the district. They will be rewarded with a sausage sizzle and other free food.

Cath Pottinger, who will be taking her children along to get them involved, said it was a great idea and one well worth supporting.

“It’s really good if we can get kids thinking about the community,” she said.

The planting will be held this Sunday from 1pm to 3pm. Meet at the car park at the end of Boundary Road.

Ready to get stuck in at the community planting day near the Ashburton River on Sunday are (from left), Mitchell, Edward, Henry, Henry, Millie, Olive and Charlotte, along with mums Renee Halliday and Cath Pottinger.

Vet’s dismissal ruled unjustified From P1 Chapman-Labecka’s lawyer, Peter Cahill, told the authority that she had previously been critical of Vetlife management and that had made her a target for redundancy.

He said the process undertaken was designed to focus on her position as the one to be made redundant.

Vetlife denied that.

In making its decision the authority found that there was a

genuine redundancy situation at Vetlife, however it took issue with some aspects of the selection process for the remaining role, and a lack of information provided about other job opportunities within the company.

The decision noted that it was not appropriate one of the Vetlife staff members involved in Chapman-Labecka’s unsuccessful interview for the position available had a direct involvement in a written

warning Chapman-Labecka received a few weeks earlier.

It also said the practice’s failure to discuss and provide information about a redundancy at the Methven clinic during ChapmanLabecka’s redundancy process was not in accordance with the requirements of her employment agreement.

It added that other positions with the company came up shortly after Chapman-Labecka was made

redundant, and she was not contacted about them.

“I find that when considered as a whole that these matters support there were other motivating factors in not appointing Ms Chapman-Labecka to the remaining role,” the decision said.

“I find that the actions are not what a fair and reasonable employer could have done in all the circumstances.”

However, Campbell told the Ash-

burton Guardian yesterday that the case involved a complex situation and despite the authority’s finding, the owner/operators of Vetlife still considered themselves fair and reasonable employers.

The $23,000 awarded was made up of $13,071 in lost earnings and $10,000 for loss of confidence.

Costs have been reserved.

Cahill said Chapman-Labecka would not be commenting on the decision.

Holidays become ‘slip’ days for rubbish

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When wheelie bins arrived in the Ashburton District they didn’t just change the way our rubbish and recyclables were collected, they’re also about to change the day they’re collected when statutory holidays roll around.

In the past stat days were noncollection days and that meant a double-up for contractors the following day.

Doubling up the workload, however, came with a host of logistical problems at the resource recovery park, waste minimisation manager Craig Goodwin said.

Changing to a wheelie bin collection provided an opportunity to take a fresh look at collection alternatives for stat days, he said.

The new collection regime for holidays is simple – to accommodate a stat day, every collection day that week will slip back one day.

“That means on Labour Day, a Monday, we won’t collect so that week, Monday’s collection will move to Tuesday, Tuesday’s to Wednesday and so on to Friday’s collection being picked up on Saturday.

“The easy way to remember it is that we slip the schedule by one day. It just becomes like a normal week with rubbish collected one

Craig Goodwin day later.” If Friday is a stat day, then collection day would move to Saturday.

The change would avoid the bottleneck at the park that came with the old practice of doubling up, Goodwin said.

Several weeks down the track, the new service had bedded in and was running smoothly and while there were still a few residents who appeared unclear about which weeks their green glass crate or yellow recycling bins were collected, there was a simple way to remember that, he said.

“If you get paid fortnightly or your benefit is paid fortnightly you just need to remember the coloured bin or crate that goes out that week.”

■ REAL ESTATE INSTITUTE

House prices continue their downward slide Ashburton remains a haven for house buyers as prices drop and sales numbers continue to fall.

Real Estate Institute data for September lists the Ashburton District as one of the worst performers in terms of both prices and numbers.

The median price for the month, $310,000 might have been $6000 higher than August but it was 13 per cent lower than the September 2016 median, $355,000.

The district was not alone in having a sluggish start to the spring sales season with the median price across Canterbury down 3 per cent on September last year.

Mackenzie had the largest gain,

up 41.7 per cent to $455,000 with Waimate dropping 22 per cent to have a median sales price that is now at a low of $187,000.

The number of houses sold in the district in September fell to 34 from 50 for the same month last year, but was on a par with August.

Ashburton’s sales dropped 32 per cent while the average drop for Canterbury in terms of sale numbers was 25 per cent.

The average number of days it took to sell a home was 34.

Regional director Jim Davis believes there will be a small lift in sales over the next few months but suggests consultants will have to ‘hunt and hustle’ a bit more for business.

A six metre tall Christmas tree will be installed in Baring Square east next month to signal the countdown to the festive season.

Shh . . . Christmas is coming

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When Christmas arrives in Ashburton this year its arrival will be early and it will be big.

There were cries of outrage last year when the town’s Christmas decorations were late in arriving and when they did, they were disappointing.

This year things will be different, said council community relations manager Vincie Billante.

There will be new banners and skyline decorations and a giant Christmas tree will be installed in Baring Square east. And most

importantly, Billante said, those decorations will be up and lit at the end of November.

Just one thing stands between the full monty Christmas display and one that’s not quite as bright and that’s work that needs to be carried out on the town centre’s electricity infrastructure.

The street lights are quite old and until they’re replaced and new infrastructure installed, festive lights are unlikely to be installed on power poles, she said.

“Some work was done when the parking sensors were put

in but more is needed to run a lot of Christmas lights. So we’re looking at short term measures and hopefully we can come up with something to make this happen.”

Because the district’s Christmas in the Park concert would not be held this year, the council was looking at holding a tree lighting ceremony for families the night before the town’s Christmas parade.

The six metre tree will come complete with decorations and lights and can be added to in the future.

■ NZ PURE BLUE

Second water deal canned

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Water bottling company NZ Pure Blue has struck out for a second time in its efforts to establish a plant in New Zealand.

Last year the company entered into negotiations with the Ashburton District Council to buy a site in the North East Business Park that came with a consent to take 1.4 billion litres of water a year.

It planned to bottle this water for export.

The deal attracted huge community opposition. This came in the form of protest marches, public meetings and petitions that were presented to the council. Eventually the council withdrew from negotiations.

The deal, if it had proceeded, would have seen NZ Pure Blue fund the relocation of Ashburton’s inner town rail shunting

yard out to the business park.

The company’s owner Roydon Harnett then turned his attention to a site near Putaruru in South Waikato.

The company lodged a resource consent application in June with the Waikato Regional Council. It has now withdrawn this application. The success of this application relied on written approval from South Waikato Iwi Raukawa by Monday.

■ ASHBURTON VARIETY THEATRE

In brief

Farr swaps theatre lights for director’s chair

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

For decades Roger Farr has had a starring role in Ashburton’s Variety Theatre shows as behind the scenes man creating magic through stage lighting.

When the curtain rises on the theatre group’s next production Mamma Mia he’ll be swapping lights for the director’s chair. It’s a challenge he’s looking forward to but one he admits to feeling more than a little nervous about.

Farr has directed before, but nothing of this scale. It’s something he’s always been keen to do more of and when the opportunity came up to direct the Ashburton Trust Event Centre’s 10th anniversary show, as centre manager he said he couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

He’s tackling a show that’s well known and well loved, one he knows will come with high expectations.

“We’ve bought the consortium so we know absolutely what we’re getting. It’s all delivered in containers, all the props and costumes and from a director’s point of view it’s simple, we’re not allowed to change anything, we have to stay with what’s written,” he said.

If he had to sit down and design sets, costumes and lighting from scratch it would be an impossible task for someone who is working full time, Farr said.

Auditions will be held at the start of November and Farr says he’s excited about the prospect of choosing what will be quite a large cast of singers and dancers.

“It’ll be a bit odd because I’ll know quite a few of those auditioning, but I’m hoping we’ll get a few outsiders come in too.”

He’s already forming ideas about the characters and personalities he’ll need in his cast to keep it true to the original.

“It’s a funny show in a way because of the music. People will be quite demanding so the singing will be critical but I want to make sure the storyline comes across too. With a show with popular music it’s easy for the storyline to get lost and for character development to get lost.”

He knows there’s a massive amount of work needed between auditions and first night.

“I’ll admit I’m a bit nervous.

It’s a big undertaking and the budget itself is scary. Because it’s a consortium show the rights are very expensive and the whole production is on my shoulders; I have to make this work,” he said.

He’s keen to get on with the job, choose his cast, kick-start rehearsals and working with his production team of musical director Richard Marrett and choreographer Madison ThewKeyworth.

“They’re the full time professionals, but they seem to be quite relaxed about working

‘No decision yet’ NZ First leader Winston Peters says he has not yet made a decision about which party to choose for a coalition in government. He also expects his board to have the same “open minded” approach when they meet this weekend to come to a final decision. “I said I would go into it with a totally open mind and I’ve asked my board and caucus to take the same approach,” he said.

Peters has announced that, due to funeral engagements, it is impossible to get all of his party’s board members together for a decision today.

Intensive supervision A 57-year-old Rangiora man who lured a seven-year-old at a Central Otago holiday programme with a lolly has been sentenced to intensive supervision. Terence Rawson appeared in the Dunedin District Court via video link from Christchurch yesterday.

He pleaded guilty to assault in August, after originally denying a charge of indecent assault in February. The court heard Rawson approached the young girl in January while she was at a holiday programme in Alexandra.

Drugs charges proved A jury has found two members of a Whangarei “cannabis club” busted by police guilty on drugs-related charges. It took the jury little more than four hours to deliver their verdicts on Brian Thomas Borland and Sarah Gwenneth Gillgren in the Whangarei District Court on Wednesday. Borland, 60, was found guilty of cultivating cannabis, selling cannabis oil, and permitting premises to be used for growing cannabis and Gillgren on possession of cannabis oil for supply and supplying cannabis oil. The jury returned a majority verdict on the charge of supplying cannabis oil for Gillgren. - NZME

Bra chandelier

Bit part player, set builder, sound technician, lighting expert and now director, Ashburton Trust Event Centre manager Roger Farr is tackling the top job for Ashburton Variety Theatre’s next production Mamma Mia. PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 101017- SN-003 with me,” he said.

When it comes to getting the best from his cast, Farr admits he’ll be quite demanding, but not at the expense of having a team that’s enjoying what they’re doing.

‘The show has to be a lot of fun for the cast and the audience, there needs to be a real party atmosphere, but yes, I have expectations with the way I want things to be.”

Farr knows theatre from the grassroots up. He first stepped out on stage as a nine-year-old in Annie Get Your Gun. His mum was in the show and he tagged along. He followed that 1975 show with Oliver two years later and then decided to call time on his stage career for a while.

He admits he was never a star,

always one of the ensemble, but that early stage debut sealed his love affair with the theatre.

He swapped on-stage, working on set building before changing to what became his passion, lighting.

Working in a lighting crew when he started out was a vastly different job. Then it was about follow spots and dimmers; today it’s high-tech.

“I was an engineer by trade so that helped, but I really learned on the job. Lighting was very basic when I started out but in the past 10 to 15 years Ashburton has really moved ahead,” he said.

The late Robert Young was his single biggest influence. He opened up a world of possibilities for Farr and over the several

shows they worked together, Young took his skill level from basic to a high level, he said.

“He was very demanding, he knew exactly what he wanted.”

Farr might be in the director’s chair for Mamma Mia but he won’t be letting the show’s lighting go. He’ll be doing double duty.

“I’ll do the basic design work, I’ll plot the show, create the image in my head, and then it’s a bit like painting by numbers really.”

Job done, he’ll hand the lighting over to his crew and start running the show.

Mamma Mia auditions will be held on November 4 and the show runs in the Ashburton Trust Event Centre from May 18 to 26.

Sweet Louise has created a bra chandelier to shine light on incurable breast cancer in New Zealand. The charity is the only in New Zealand solely dedicated to supporting those living with incurable breast cancer. Around 600 bras have been donated by women from all over the country, including Jacinda Ardern, Nikki Kaye, Rachel Hunter, Ali Mau and Brodie Kane, who all donated their bras. Sweet Louise chief executive Fiona Hatton said they put the call out to numerous high-profile women in New Zealand for their support and they were “very lucky.” The chandelier will be unveiled at Orakei Bay Village today, and will be open to the public until it closes on Monday, October 23.

■ RAKAIA RURAL FIRE FORCE

Rakaia gets first response vehicle

By Katie todd

katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Thanks to the support of the Mid Canterbury community, the Rakaia Rural Fire Force has added a shiny new set of wheels to its fleet.

Chief Fire Officer Tyronne Burrowes and senior firefighter Stewart Wiseman picked up their new D-Max Ute from Isuzu in Tinwald on Wednesday.

The ute would usually retail for around $52,000, but was acquired on “heavy discount” from Isuzu, and using donations from Rakaia Lions, Lloyd Morgan Lions Clubs Charitable Trust and Trust Aoraki.

Chief Fire Officer Tyrone Burrowes said the Rakaia Rural Fire Force became a first responder station just over a year ago, and the new ute will serve as a first response vehicle.

“It’s been a long project to get under way, but it will be great to have,” he said.

“The support from the community has been great … we’re looking forward to using it.”

The new ute will be equipped with medical supplies to attend all medical call-outs, rather than sending one of the station’s firetrucks.

Rakaia Rural Volunteer Fire Force will be hitting the road in a new wagon, thanks to Isuzu Mid Canterbury, and the help of several community groups.

PHOTO LAURA BAGRIE 101017-LB-527 Burrowes said the donations they received would also allow them to upgrade their existing

medical equipment.

Isuzu sales consultant Jayden Mabley said the firefighters were

“very pleased” when they got their first glimpse of the signwritten, completed vehicle.

“They seemed pretty happy with how it’s looking, it’s been a long time in the works.”

Four of the Taupo The fugitive proves to be too elusive crash victims named

■ ZM COMPETITION

By Katie todd

katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

All eyes were on Ashburton on Wednesday afternoon, when it become a key location in a national manhunt.

The radio station ZM are running a “ZM fugitive” competition, where an anonymous man travels the country and gives away bounties to those who identify him and ask “are you the ZM fugitive?”

After the fugitive hinted he was in Ashburton and posted a photo of Cass Street, many took to the streets to try and hunt him down

and claim a $1500 reward.

Lynn Arthur was working at United Video when she had a close encounter with the fugitive.

“It was really weird,” she said.

“I knew nothing about this competition, but a guy came in and asked for two videos. One was The Fugitive and the other was Catch Me if You Can … he went to get his card out of his car and he never came back,” she said.

The fugitive posted a photo from inside United Video, prompting many of his followers

to hurry there for any chance of a clue.

“ZM rang and I realised I could have won $1500,” said Arthur.

“But I had lots of people coming into my shop and asking what he looked like and then I ended up joining in the hunt too.”

The fugitive escaped Ashburton without being caught, and has since posted photos from locations in Wellington.

“It was an exciting afternoon though” said Arthur.

“There were lots of people running around – it was all quite fun.”

Police have released the names of the four people who died in the horrific Taupo crash on Tuesday.

They were Mele Ilisapi Oliveti, 44, a Tongan national residing in Palmerston North, Helena Adele Paul, 56, of Kaikohe, Leighton Phillip Ahuriri, 60, a New Zealander residing in Western Australia, and Hone Te Ahurei Hawkins-Kanuta, 5, of Kaikohe.

A police spokeswoman said they wanted to thank everyone who assisted at the crash scene, as well as witnesses to the crash who have spoken to police since

the crash. “This was a horrific event for all involved and we would encourage anyone who feels they need support at this time to contact Victim Support.

Victim Support is available to witnesses and people who assisted at the crash scene, as well as those directly involved in the crash.”

Police have crossed out both speed and alcohol as factors in the crash, however the Serious Crash Unit investigation into a cause is ongoing.

■ NORTH KOREA

‘Brink of nuclear war’ Donald Trump’s bellicose rhetoric aimed at North Korea has pushed the US and the communist dictatorship to the brink of nuclear war, according to North Korea’s foreign minister.

“By his belligerent and insane statement at the United Nations, Trump, so to say, lit the fuse of war against us,” Ri Yong Ho told Russia’s state-run news agency TASS. “We need to settle the final score, only with a hail of fire, not words.”

During his maiden speech to the UN, Trump mocked Kim Jong-un, dubbing him “Rocket Man” and warning that the US may be forced to “totally destroy” the rogue nation, the New York Post reported.

“If the righteous many do not confront the wicked few, then evil will triumph,” Trump said.

“Rocket Man is on a suicide mission.”

Ri’s threats came a day after a pair of US bombers for the first time conducted manoeuvres over the Korean peninsula with the South Korean air force, and followed stepped-

North Korea’s foreign minister Ri Yong Ho. up sabre-rattling by the president on Twitter.

Trump has repeatedly suggested military action was the only solution to the North’s belligerence and growing nuclear weapons and missile programme.

“Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid hasn’t worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, makings fools of US negotiators.

Sorry, but only one thing will work!” he tweeted on Saturday.

“Our country has been unsuccessfully dealing with North Korea for 25 years, giving billions of dollars & getting nothing. Policy didn’t work!” he added in another tweet two days later.

North Korea has launched two missiles over Japan in recent weeks as it advances quickly toward its goal of developing a nuclear-tipped missile capable of hitting the US. The two Air Force B-1B

bombers were joined by two F-15K fighters from the South Korean military after leaving their base in Guam, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

After entering South Korean airspace, the two bombers carried out air-to-ground missile drills in waters off the east coast of South Korea, then flew over the South to waters near China to repeat the drill, the military said.

The foreign minister said that his country was getting close to achieving its goal of assembling a nuclear arsenal.

“We have nearly achieved the final point on the way to our ultimate goal, to achieving a real balance of force with the United States. Our nuclear weapons will never be a subject matter of negotiations as long as the US policy of pressure on the DPRK has not been uprooted once and for all,” he said.

Meanwhile Trump reportedly pushed for a tenfold increase in the country’s nuclear arsenal. The President told a meeting of his national security advisers in July that he wanted to boost the country’s weapon stocks.

Fame crippling, says Daisy Daisy Ridley says she had therapy to deal with “crippling” fame. The Star Wars: The Force Awakens actress admitted she struggled with the attention that came with her role of Rey in the hit sci-fi series, and she worried she wouldn’t be able to repeat her well-received performance in follow-up The Last Jedi. “Everything was so confusing. People were recognising me – I still don’t know how to handle it.

My skin got really bad because I was stressed. It was crippling. I just felt so seen and so self-conscious. [Then I thought] ‘You know what? I want to dance through life. I don’t want to scuttle.’”

■ SYRIA

Drone strike kills White Widow in Raqqa British jihadist Sally Jones has been killed in a US drone strike while attempting to flee the Isis capital, according to a report.

The one-time punk rocker from Kent fled to Syria with her son in 2013 before becoming a recruiter for the evil terrorist group.

But now she has reportedly been blown up close to the IraqSyria border by an American aircraft, according to Daily Mail.

Considered Britain’s mostwanted woman, Jones – also known as the White Widow – was a recruiter and propagandist for Islamic State.

The Sun quotes a Whitehall source as saying: “The Americans zapped her trying to get away from Raqqa. Quite frankly, it’s good riddance.”

She was believed to have been heading toward the Syrian border settlement of Mayadin as the Isis capital is besieged by coalition forces.

According to the report, the CIA told the Government in June that the 50-year-old had been killed by a Predator drone that same month.

They did not inform the wider public, however, because there

were fears her son Jojo, who is 12, had died in the blast too.

Jones was a high priority on the Pentagon’s “kill list” because she was believed to have masterminded dozens of terror plots.

The Muslim convert fled Britain to join Isis back in 2013 alongside toyboy lover and jihadi hacker Junaid Hussain, taking her then-nine-year-old son Jojo with her.

The 12-year-old boy is believed to have been forced to execute prisoners during his time there after being brainwashed by violent theocrats.

What can viewers expect from the show? “So much”, says Inbar. “You’re going to get a wonderfully crafted show that has a little bit of everything. The best way to describe it is a dark comedy with a lot of suspense, a lot of romance, a lot of drama. There’s action, a little bit of everything. I’ve always been drawn to any character I can’t quite figure out. On the one hand, she has a desire to escape.

On the other hand, she also desperately wants to connect. I’m excited for our audience to see that that’s okay – we’re all trying to figure out who we really are.

Smooth and wonderfully calm W

hat is it?

The not-before-time replacement for the Freelander.

The Land Rover Discovery Sport uses the Evoque’s chassis architecture, but has a brand new rear suspension design that’s specifically been incorporated to allow the packaging of seven seats as standard in every model.

This in itself is a major selling point, but its boosted further here by strong design language and Land Rover’s brand image which takes the Disco Sport further upmarket.

Just a year after launch there’s been a huge change for the range: out goes the old 2.2-litre TD4 engine and in comes JLR’s new 2.0-litre TD4 ‘Ingenium’ motor.

This is the one the car’s been crying out for.

What is it like on the road?

Yes, in answer to our question: that engine is good.

It delivers the performance, refinement and clatter-free quality you’d expect of a premium SUV, and means the Sport no longer sounds like a Transit van.

Such a pity it wasn’t in it from the start: let’s hope the model doesn’t suffer because of it.

Besides, we’ve never had any issue with the way the Disco drives.

It’s smooth, soothing and wonderfully calm.

You do need to option the nine-speed automatic gearbox to make the most of it, but if you do, you’re getting an experience that really isn’t that far detached from a Range Rover’s.

And yes, it’ll do all the off-road stuff you expect.

And much, much more.

Focus instead on people and luggage carrying ability.

Those rearmost seats aren’t particularly capacious, but the middle row slides over a long 160mm range, which makes the rear row moretoyota.co.nz tolerable – or alternatively gives those in the centre row huge leg space.

Fold those back seats down and you’ve got between 480 and 689 litres of boot space.

All told it’s a far more attractive, practical package than the old Freelander.

Land Rover is a top notch brand these days, so feels justified in charging steep toyota.co.nz toyota.co.nz prices for its cars.

Prices start at $69,990 but at least SE trim does come with everything you need including cruise, climate, DAB, Bluetooth, heated seats and half-leather trim.

Moving up the range adds to the decadence (Windsor leather anyone?), which makes it feel more like a Range Rover than ever.

Used values should be strong, probably even more so with the new engine – we can see the old one taking a bit of a hit on It’s lovely inside, the Disco Sport – the used market due to its greater noise smart, airy and less ostentatious than the and thirst.

Evoque, plus it feels commendably well Who’d be an early adopter, huh? screwed together.

Final thoughts Our car did have occasional sat nav Land Rover Discovery Sport review: glitches, and the touch screen infotainClose to perfection, and the new TD4 ment system isn’t a patch on the latest ‘Ingenium’ engine may just have delivAudi/BMW arrangements. ered it.

Actions speak very loudly F or a lucky few, this new, rather dramatic looking Civic Type R will fill a void in their lives that they possibly didn’t realise ever existed – and add some colour to

it as well!

Particularly in the cabin, for red is the mandatory colour, seats, seatbelts and all.

While the test car’s exterior was white, there’s alternatives of black, metallic grey, and, not surprisingly, red!

While it shares pretty much the same body and underpinnings with the new Civic RS Hatch (which has made the Car of the Year shortlist), the Type R has been engineered from the ground up to deliver a definitely rewarding drive, both on road and track.

And for this their hero model, Honda says “Actions speak louder than words”.

Indeed, this proved to be the case after recent driving experiences with it.

Not only just me, but subsequently with sub-editor Steve Devereux and our accomplice, Bernard Egan participating in the enjoyment of being in this Nürburgring-tuned and tested, performance machine.

The Type R has a decidedly aggressivelooking body, whose aerodynamic enhancements (there are many) include vortex generators at the trailing edge of the roof, plus a large, lightweight rear wing.

Both add to the car’s ideal balance between lift and drag, as well as high speed stability. Then there’s the 20-inch black alloys with 245/30ZR-20 tyres and the large,

track-tested red Brembo brakes lurking behind these.

For my first Type R drive, I was extremely lucky to have some track driving time.

Selecting the track-focused ‘+R’ mode of the three driving modes (there’s also comfort and sport settings) was a no-brainer.

Each of these modes, which can be set on the run, tailors the adaptive shockies, steering, pus the accelerator response.

Let’s just say the +R setting is very appropriately named!

It maximises the keenness of the delightful, extremely smooth, 2.0-litre turbo-petrol to hit its 7000rpm red-line and deliver both its 228kW and 400 Nm of torque.

There’s even a clever launch control, which in concert with the very precise six-speed manual (it has a rev match control system as well), means dry surface 0-100kmh times of less than six seconds are possible.

Not that the car feels restrained at all in either the default sport, or even the comfort mode, for in these the engine pulls away quickly and smoothly from low revs and it’s very easy to drive about town.

While the suspension is based on the Civic Hatch’s, it has significantly stiffer springs, the aforementioned adaptive shockies, different anti-roll bars and a so named dual-axis, front-strut suspension.

The latter, which in combination with the helical limited-slip-diff and very smart traction control, means that even when accelerating hard, torque steer which is a tra-

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

dition of high powered front-wheel-drive vehicles is pretty much totally eliminated.

So on both the road and the track the Type R feels so nicely balanced, precise, and yet very composed irrespective of the conditions.

Oh, and not to forget the quite amazing grip through fast corners.

In doing all this, it still provides a very comfortable ride, even in the +R drive, the about town ride, while firm is still surprisingly good.

Then it stops so quickly as well, thanks to the red Brembo brake package with four-piston, 13.8-inch discs at front and 12-inch at the back.

All this performance happens, despite the racy looking three-pipe exhaust system, in relative quietness. And perhaps too quietly, for the expectations of some, given the cars looks.

But this quietness is certainly an advantage for longer distance cruising, whereon, if resisting the car’s constant invitations to drive it hard, the overall claimed fuel use figure of 8.8L/100km can easily be bettered.

All of the above is enjoyed from the well shaped, long distance comfortable sports seats within the dramatic yet spacious and well-equipped red cabin.

Space-wise there’s more than plenty for four adults and there’s dual zone air-con, a large 8-inch infotainment touch screen (which you need to practice a little with) with dedicated sat-nav and great sound system.

I found it very easy to set up my required driving position, and really liked the gear lever crowned with its neat-feeling alloy ball, also the driver assist systems on board, especially the excellent adaptive cruise control.

With the rear seats in place (they fold 60/40) the load area holds 414 litres. Loading is easy because of the high opening hatch. There’s an inflation kit in place of a spare wheel.

FINALE The upshot of our drive experiences is that we three wise men (sic) are in total agreement with Honda, who say the Type R is a car that has been built for the sheer thrill of driving, a car built with soul, a car that speaks to you the way few others can! And how it offers the choice of both fast and polished track performance then being just as happy on everyday duties about town. Its a stand-out at $59,990.

The Type R has claimed the title of world’s fastest production front-wheel-drive production car, setting a new benchmark lap time at the legendary Nürburgring. On April 3 one lapped the 20.76km north loop in a record 7 minutes 43.80 seconds!

Highly-charged T

he new Audi e-tron FE04 has left a strong impression last week at the official preseason testing of the Formula E electric racing series at Valencia (Spain).

Team Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler from Monday to Thursday completed the largest number of test kilometres of all ten teams.

The lap times of the first all-electric Audi race car were promising as well.

New Audi factory driver Daniel Abt (Germany) and title defender Lucas di Grassi (Brazil) reeled off an extensive test programme with the four race cars of Team Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler in high summer temperatures of up to 30 degrees centigrade in the shade. The programme was focused on race simulations and optimisation of the energy management of the new motor-generator unit which now only has one forward gear.

In spite of the heat, the four Audi e-tron FE04 ran with complete reliability on all three days, so enabling Daniel Abt and Lucas di Grassi to reel off a total of 474 laps on the three-kilometre Circuit Ricardo Tomo which equates to a distance of 1466 kilometres – equalling the race distance of a whole Formula E season.

The two Audi drivers were regularly part of the top group, although the absolute best times are only of limited significance: testing was only permitted with the full qualifying power of 200 kW twice per day and per car.

From now on until the season opens in Hong Kong on December 2 testing is prohibited in Formula E.

Blazing biturbo

U

nveiled to the world at the 87th Geneva Motor Show, the all-new RS 5 Coupé is available to pre-order now from authorised Audi dealerships in New Zealand.

Breathtaking.

There’s no better way to sum up what the new RS 5 Coupé is all about.

331 kW of power and 600 Nm of maximum torque is generated by a newly developed 2.9 litre V6 biturbo engine.

It has up to 170 Nm more torque, 60kg less weight and is 0.5 seconds faster from 0-100km/h than the outgoing RS 5 model.

The eight-speed tiptronic transmission orchestrates the power and Audi quattro permanent all-wheel drive converts it into forward thrust.

The result? The new Audi RS 5 Coupé sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.

The exterior design of the RS 5 Coupé draws inspiration from the distinctive racing details of the Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO touring car.

Flared wheel arches on the widened body, coupled with distinctive side sill attachments, RS bumpers, large air intakes and an unobtrusive rear spoiler deliver exterior styling that is aerodynamic, lightweight and athletic.

Audi virtual cockpit as standard presents the driver with performance data via high-resolution RS-specific displays such as a G-meter and shift

light. RS sports seats, in fine Nappa leather with honey-comb quilting, provide an even balance between comfort and secure support.

The RS 5 Coupé is a technical powerhouse, featuring as many as 30 cutting-edge driver assistance systems as standard enhancing safety, comfort and efficiency. The intelligent interplay between these systems represents another step on the road to piloted driving.

A carbon roof and ceramic front brakes highlight a raft of performance related additional options.

“The Audi RS 5 Coupé is an extremely handsome vehicle which provides significantly more performance and efficiency than its predecessor” said Dean Sheed, General Manager, Audi New Zealand.

“We have only 30 arriving prior to Christmas and we expect that they will be in high demand.”

Audi stands for sporty vehicles, high build quality and progressive design – for “Vorsprung durch Technik.”

Founded in 1899 as Horch & Cie. Motorwagen-Werke by August Horch, today the company is among the world’s leading producers of premium cars.

The company’s innovation capability is one reason behind its success: Audi has written automotive history with its quattro permanent all-wheel drive, with lightweight construction using the aluminum Audi Space Frame (ASF) and now piloted driving.

NZ Car of the Year top 10 D

etermining the best of the best for the 2017 New Zealand Car of the Year will be especially challenging for judges this December.

The New Zealand Automobile Association and New Zealand Motoring Writers’ Guild (NZMWG) will announce the Car of the Year at the Viaduct Events Centre in Auckland on December 12.

Members of the guild and AA judges who have driven the top 10 cars will independently rank each of them on a number of elements including value, design and quality – the best of which will become the 2017 New Zealand Car of the Year.

Once again, the public has an opportunity to have its say to determine the winner of the New Zealand Car of the Year People’s

Choice award.

In alphabetical order, the top 10 finalists for the 2017 New Zealand Car of the Year are: BMW 5 series Holden Astra Honda Civic hatch Hyundai Ioniq Land Rover Discovery Mazda CX-5 Skoda Kodiaq Subaru XV Suzuki Ignis Suzuki Swift AA Motoring Services General Manager Stella Stocks says the judges – members of the guild and an AA representative – have their work cut out for them.

“This year the top 10 line up represents a

great cross section of new cars available to the market today from lower cost small cars loaded with technology to very practical and more expensive luxury vehicles,” Ms Stocks says. “From this list it is clear that car manufacturers are anticipating the market’s needs and producing vehicles to match.”

Guild President Robert Barry agrees the top 10 Car of the Year line up offers something for virtually every market segment.

“Each of the top 10 selections is a worthy contender for the ultimate Car of the Year award. It’s going to be a difficult choice for the judges this year,” Mr Barry says.

The New Zealand Car of the Year is in two parts. The Car of the Year finalists were chosen by a panel earlier this month. To be eligible, the car must have been released in the New Zealand market between 1 Octo-

ber 2016 and 30 September 2017.

The Best in Class awards are selected from any new car on sale now in each category. This means a make and model released in previous years could beat out a newer car in its class.

The Best in Class categories are Micro/ light car, Small/compact car, Medium/ large car, Luxury car, Small SUV, Medium SUV, Large SUV, Luxury SUV, Utility, Sports, Electric vehicle/plug-in hybrid.

The New Zealand Car of the Year People’s Choice award will also be announced on December 12.

From November 1, the public will have a chance to vote for one of the top 10 finalists on the AA’s website and earn a chance to win a 9-day Pacific islands cruise for two.

Luxurious rapidity

F

irst impressions delivered by the two versions of the new Lexus flagship coupe couldn’t be any more different.

Prod the starter button of the Lexus LC 500 and it barks into life with a five-litre shot of V8 adrenalin to set your heart racing.

Press the button on the hybrid LC 500h and there’s powertrain silence as you move away on electric drive before a muted V6 engine note joins in.

The LC is the new Lexus flagship 2+2 luxury coupe with head-turning design, sumptuous luxury and high-end pricing.

The naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 urgency already familiar from the RC F and GS F models or a new petrol-electric hybrid powertrain are the 500 or 500h alternatives.

I had driven both versions at the press launch in July including on-track at Highlands Motorsport Park, where the V8 showed itself the clear excitement choice.

The V8 is instant gratification with a raised heart rate while the hybrid experience is arguably more interesting and the more thought-provoking drive.

Price isn’t part of the decision-making process for LC customers as both versions are priced from $215,000.

And it’s an interesting price point that prompts comparison with similar — but not directly competitive — cars as diverse as the two-seat Jaguar F-Type and Mercedes-AMG GT, Maserati Gran Turismo and the recently discontinued BMW 6 Series Coupe.

Without doubt the LC is the most dramatically styled Lexus yet. It’s spectacularly wide and low with muscular rear haunches, intricate aero details and menacing lighting signatures.

The long, low silhouette is traditional coupe while pop-out flush door handles are a conversation starter and the detailed alloy mesh of the “spindle” grille is a work of art that unfortunately has to be disfigured by a registration plate.

The new hybrid powertrain features a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine that develops 220kW at 6900rpm and 348Nm of torque at 4900rpm – moderate numbers for a roughly 2000kg car but there’s significant electric drive boost from a permanent

magnet synchronous motor rated with 132kW and 300Nm of torque.

Lexus publishes a combined system power output figure of 264kW but not a combined torque number.

The data tells you the hybrid has less horsepower and less (engine) torque than the V8 but the reality is also a hybrid 0-100km/h acceleration time of 5.0secs – only 0.5secs slower than the V8 achieves.

The hybrid enjoys a commanding advantage in refinement, efficiency and driving range and its effortless style would likely be the better choice for long journeys.

Given its swift 0-100km/h acceleration time and deceptive way the car gains pace on part throttle, it would be no surprise if the combined hybrid torque numbers match or exceed the 540Nm at 4800rpm of the V8 across much of the rev range.

A lightweight lithium-ion battery is a first for any Lexus hybrid and the multistage transmission is also new for the LC 500h.

In the LC 500 there is a new 10-speed

automatic transmission whereas the hybrid breaks new ground by combining a continuously variable transmission with a four-speed automatic that also provides a 10-step transmission.

Around the city, the LC 500h alternates between using only 1000rpm or running in EV mode. It also cruises at 100km/h on the highway at 1000rpm and becomes more responsive when you work its cast magnesium shift paddles.

Lexus claims combined cycle fuel consumption of 6.7 litres per 100km and the LC 500h achieved a road test average of 8.8 litres per 100km. The main part of the efficiency advantage is the hybrid delivers its best numbers in the city where the V8 is the least efficient.

Much of the dramatic stance of the LC is how the low silhouette and long wheelbase are drawn across the polished 21-inch alloy wheels. The Michelin Pilot SuperSport tyres are 245/35 R21 dimension at the front and 275/30 R21 at the rear.

Yet, despite an extreme tyre choice, the LC 500h has an Adaptive Variable Suspen-

sion system that provides low speed ride compliance that easily rivals some air suspension systems.

You sit low in the big coupe’s snug cockpit, which is divided by a high centre console, and the LC 500h has supportive front seats with semi-aniline leather trim, 10-way power adjustment as well as being heated and ventilated.

There are deeply sculpted rear seats where there is limited headroom and legroom and the cargo space measures up at only 172 litres.

In standard form the LC models have a glass roof with a manual sun shade while the $5000 Carbon Roof option also adds more prominently bolstered front seats, carbon scuff plates, a power retractable rear spoiler and sharpen the driving dynamics with the Lexus Dynamic Handling System that comprises variable gear ratio steering and dynamic rear steering.

Standard equipment highlights for all LC variants include a 900-watt Mark Levinson sound system with 13 speakers to underline the Lexus reputation for impressive audio quality.

There’s a power tilt and reach adjustable steering wheel, smart key entry and ignition, reversing camera with active guidelines, satellite navigation, bi-LED headlights with auto high beam and dual-zone climate control.

The Lexus Safety System includes allspeed dynamic cruise control with autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assist and lane departure alert.

Blind spot monitor and rear cross traffic alert are valuable features in a car where you sit low and rear three-quarter visibility is limited.

At the $200K-plus price point the LC should be equipped with a 360-degree camera system and its entry convenience would be aided if there was a belt-feeder system to avoid the long reach back to the grab the seat belt.

With the LC 500h, the Lexus marque has delivered a modern take on the classic front-engine, rear-drive 2+2 luxury coupe format and provides a choice of old school V8 excitement or hybrid efficiency.

The platform has already been stretched to underpin the next generation Lexus LS luxury saloon that hits the New Zealand market before the end of the year while the LC styling themes will be developed to create a stronger image for the rest of the range.

ON THE MARKETS

exceptional performances from a small number of stocks on the index, which have boosted the index to this level.

Market darling a2 Milk has more than tripled in price for the year and now has the fourth largest market cap on the NZX, at more than $NZ5.5 billion. At the beginning of the year, it was just $1.5 billion.

Peer Synlait Milk, still a relative newcomer to the NZX50 has also had an exceptional run, up 140 per cent for the year to date.

Xero is another company that has seen a meteoric rise this year, almost doubling in price and is now at the highest level it has been since the lofty highs of 2014.

Globally speaking, the US market has also continued to rise, with the three main indexes hitting record highs during the week.

There are around 250 trading days in the US this year and the Dow Jones has hit 48 record closing highs so far, with almost 50 trading days to go. Third quarter earnings season is now under way and if companies perform as well as expected, there could be plenty more record setting days to come.

Expectations are for the S&P500, the US’s broadest index, to have its third quarter of earnings growth. Expectations are for EPS growth to average 2.8 per cent for the quarter. With valu-

ations so high at the moment, investors will be looking for companies to meet earnings forecasts as well as for positive outlooks for the remainder of the year.

A further catalyst for boosting the index came mid-week with the release of the US Federal Reserve minutes. The tone was a lot more cautious than the market was expecting with some members of the Fed believing that it will take longer than previously thought for inflation to return to the targeted 2 per cent.

Prior to the release of the minutes, the December rate hike seemed a mere formality, however, the market is now questioning whether the Fed will get its third rate hike of the year away.

Across the Tasman, we have seen some better than expected data in sentiment surveys this week. The NAB Business survey was again strong for the month, although retail was again the weakest sector.

The surprise came in the Westpac Consumer Confidence survey which showed a sharp upswing in sentiment. For the first time since November 2016 the index reading was above 100, reflecting that there are more optimists than pessimists.

We will be keeping an eye on reporting season this week and of course the formation of the government in New Zealand.

Third quarter inflation is due out in New Zealand as is the Australian labour force data.

nd still we wait, is the best way to sum up the current state of New Zealand post the election.

As media coverage continues to show shots of closed doors and secret meetings, political pundits continue to speculate on what Winston Peters and New Zealand First might do. What is still clear is that Winston is not to be rushed and that it is still a split decision.

However, the New Zealand market has shrugged this off and moved higher and higher this week, with the NZX50 breaking through the 8000 mark for the first time ever. The index is up more than 17 per cent for the year to date.

There are a number of positives in the New Zealand economy that are contributing to the confidence in our market, however, it is important to look at a couple of things when we talk about these exceptional numbers.

Firstly, the New Zealand NZX50 is a gross index. This means that it isn’t calculated purely by share price changes but includes dividends as well. As a high yielding market, the dividend portion is quite a significant contribution to performance.

Secondly, the 17 per cent climb includes the recovery from the end of last year, which included four consecutive months of declines for the index.

From the high point in September to the low point in December the NZX50 dropped over 8 per cent. Bearing in mind, global markets during this period climbed higher so some of this 17 per cent of gains has been a game of catch up.

Thirdly, there have been some

The company is expecting further insurance income in the future as engineers and insurers complete their deliberations.

It estimates total material damage claims to total $350 million for the port and more than $106 million for commercial properties. It increased the provision for write-downs in the value of its commercial properties to $32 million, from $20.4 million in its first-half accounts.

The port has told its shareholders, the Wellington and Manawatu-Wanganui regional councils, that it’s unlikely to pay a dividend for three years following the quake.

In the latest year, its operating revenue fell 16 per cent to $63.7 million, not including $9 million in business interruption insurance. Operating expenses were little changed at $60 million.

CentrePort said it is now focusing on its long-term plan as it reassesses its strategy following the earthquake and subsequent damage.

CentrePort, the Wellington port operator, turned to an annual loss after damage from November’s Kaikoura earthquake last year weighed on its business.

The port company posted a loss of $2.3 million in the 12 months ended June 30, from a profit of $11.6 million a year earlier, it said in a statement.

The year-earlier earnings were restated due to a change in the accounting treatment of convertible notes.

Underlying profit before earthquake-related income, fair value adjustments and tax slipped 32 per cent to $10.8 million.

CentrePort was forced to suspend operations immediately following the November 14 earthquake last year, as it dealt with damage to its buildings and liquefaction, and it was forced to modify its services to get them up and running.

In the past year, the port has received $173 million of insurance income which helped fund a $28 million temporary works programme to secure 125 metres of the 585-metre wharf. That ena-

OUR VIEW

Looking back – did you see what I saw?

Matt Markham

EDITOR

T

he column of mayor Donna Favel in this week’s Guardian certainly highlighted some significant advancements that have been initiated by the Ashburton District Council.

The question is, however, under which council were they advanced?

Many of the projects listed by the mayor have certainly been given the final tick in the past 12 months, but a good majority of the work was done by the previous council.

So, who deserves the credit?

On one hand we have the previous council, who are now somewhat of a distant memory – swept away in the haze of a water bottling plant mist, while on the other hand we have this newlook, still baby-faced council table that’s finding its feet and still getting into the groove when it comes to the big decisions.

I’m not for one moment trying to play the devil’s advocate here, but reading the mayor’s column certainly did give the impression of trying to justify 12 months of work in which, to be frank, not a whole lot of new has been achieved.

But we probably shouldn’t expect that, if we are being completely open and honest.

To have expected a brand-new council to have made significant changes within their first 12 months at the helm may have been like drawing a long bow and their efforts will be better measured by this time next year, when they have had significant time to make effective change.

After sitting in on this week’s finance and business support committee meeting, one thing is very apparent about this current council and it’s that they do want to do the best for the people of this community.

Often their discussions referred, as they probably should, to the impact or the reaction of the people out in the Ashburton District and those impacts and reactions seem to become major players in their decision making.

So, the recipe is certainly there for the mixing.

But this current council does need to plot their own path, because it is for what they initiate and get across the line that they will be most remembered in the years to come, and not the efforts of those who went before them.

Is our future Ashvegan?

I

’m a happy boy this week, two of my favourite telly shows are back.

800 words on TV1 quickly became a favourite of ours in season one. A well written, believable show with top-drawer acting from both sides of the Tasman.

Designated Survivor season two has started on Netflix.

Keifer Sutherland plays Tom Kirkman, a lower-level cabinet member, who was catapulted into the oval office when a devastating attack on the night of the State of the Union address claimed the lives of the president and most of the cabinet.

Kirkman was named the designated survivor in case of such an event and is suddenly thrust into his new position of power.

Kirkman struggles to keep the country from dissolving into chaos while trying to win their trust. It’s a great watch.

If the next Homeland season started next week, I would have my perfect TV viewing trifecta.

Talking TV and Netflix.

As I’ve mentioned in past columns, I have watched with interest several Netflix food documentaries this year and most of them point to a plant based Vegan diet being the most healthy for us human types.

While I am still not ready to give up meat yet (or any time in the near future) we have certainly cut back on the amount

we consume.

To be honest it hasn’t been as hard as I thought it would be (I really like a good steak). I rustled up a beef casserole on Tuesday night and only used about a third of the meat I would usually use and fired a heap more chunky veges in the slow cooker. Both Manda and I agreed it was just as good as ever.

Well it would appear that Maccas are hopping on the Vegan train as well. McDonalds are going to trial a Vegan Burger and it could be huge!!!

McDonald’s, for the first time in its ‘we sell 75 hamburgers every second’ history, is trialling a vegan burger.

Holy cow, right?

The fast food chain is wisely latching onto the food world’s most telling trend – plant-based diets have advanced way past fad. People are nibbling carrots all over the shop.

According to HealthFocus, 60 per cent of consumers are reducing their meat intake. A sizeable 17 per cent of 15-70 year-olds now follow a ‘predom-

So McDonald’s, which serves one per cent of the world’s population every day, is hoping to keep up. The new item is called the McVegan – naturally – and will be available to buy in Finland between October 4 to November 21 initially.

After that, if popular, the burger could be introduced in Britain and beyond.

What’s it made of, then?

The McVegan is a soy-based patty (the precise ingredients of which currently remain unknown) in a bun with lettuce, onions, ketchup, and mustard.

The news was announced by McDonalds Suomi, the brand’s Finnish Instagram page. People

are pretty excited about the burger.

In America alone, customers get through one billion pounds of beef a year. That’s about nine Titanics of cows. Every year. In one country.

If it goes well in Finland, I’m sure we will see it here in Ashburton soon after, as Dave likes to mooove with the times.

Ashvegas turns into Ashvegans, watch this space.

In brief

■ PHAR LAP RACEWAY

Riccarton start on the line Boots ‘N’ All will be given every opportunity to prove he’s worthy of a crack at a stakes prize during next month’s New Zealand Cup carnival.

He has a nomination for the Gr.2 Coupland’s Bakeries Mile (1600m) at Riccarton and the five-year-old’s next couple of starts will determine if he takes his place in the November 15 event.

“His lead-up form is going to tell us if he’s good enough,” trainer Lance Robinson said.

“Otherwise, there are other options at the meeting for him.”

Boots ‘N’ All will further his preparation in the Equine Veterinary Services Sprint (1200m) at Phar Lap Raceway today.

“He’s not a 1200m horse and I did plan to run him in the mile, but it has been so wet that I haven’t been able to get the work into him,” Robinson said.

“He’ll have this run and then the Coupland’s Mile Trial over 1400m on October 28.

“That will be the deciding race to see which way we go at the Cup meeting.”

Boots ‘N’ All has been out once on his current campaign at Riccarton where he finished a satisfactory fifth.

“It was a Heavy 11, which he didn’t like and he was very chubby,” Robinson said.

Perseving with Maestro Robert Dunn has sent star threeyear-old Alta Maestro to the southern arm of his stable as he pushes on with the horse’s Sires Stakes Series campaign. He was an expensive failure for punters in the first northern heat, at Cambridge last Thursday night, ultimately running last in the six-horse field when a hot favourite. Subsequent blood tests explained the run and Dunn has had little cause for concern since. “It was either the end or beginning of a minor virus but we treated him and he appears to be getting over it. His blood work is improving and we will check in again early next week.”

- NZHN

Devise looking good Devise enjoyed a lucrative three-year-old season and she is impressing trainer Shaune Ritchie as she closes in on a return to racing. The daughter of Darci Brahma is a two-time winner and finished runner-up to Bonneval in last season’s Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m). “She looks terrific and she’ll trial at the end of the month and she should be back at the races in November,” Ritchie said. “She’s come back much stronger and her form looks good.”

Big chance for mare Boots ‘N’ All stretches out in the straight for Samantha Wynne.

“It was a conditioning race and I was happy with him.

“He had a good spell over the winter and he is coming along well.”

He is also keen on the chances today of Cantilena in the Maurice Smith Handicap (1200m) following her fourth placing when resuming at Riccarton last month.

“She went terrific first-up and she’s done well since,” Robinson said.

“It’s a strong field, but I’d expect her to be right in it.” - NZME

■ CAULFIELD STAKES

Bonneval shooting for seven straight Four-year-old mare Bonneval goes into tomorrow’s Gr.1 $A1 million Caulfield Stakes (2000m) in a rich vein of form.

After 10 career starts, the Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained daughter of Makfi has won seven, including three Group Ones in her current winning sequence of six.

The dual Oaks winner has captured the imagination of the racing public on both sides of the Tasman, and boasts impressive victories in the Gr.2 Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes (1600m) and Gr.1 Underwood Stakes (1800m) this campaign.

“She just keeps winning and winning good races.

“People love a horse that keeps raising the bar and winning impressively,” Forsman said.

Bonneval is disputing Caulfield Stakes favouritism with Hartnell, but she is alone at the top of markets for the Gr.1 $A3 million Caulfield Cup (2400m) on October 21.

“She’s going really well and she’s just about to let go of the last bit of her winter coat so she’s looking good at the right time,” Forsman said.

“She’s shaping like she’s looking for a staying trip, looking for further than the 2000m on Saturday, but there’s no doubt she’s got the class to win.

“They rode Hartnell back last time so it will be interesting to

Ashburton Guardian 31

Rich Hill Stud Taranaki Breeders’ Stakes (1400m) contender Thee Auld Floozie will take a step back in class tomorrow. She will run in the Group Three contest at Hawera after unplaced efforts in the Gr.1 Tarzino Trophy (1400m) and in the Gr.1 Windsor Park Plate (1600m).

“Her work has been very good and if we could get a better track it would help her,” trainer Stephen Marsh said. The Cambridge conditioner also confirmed stablemate Sofia Rosa would be heading back to Hawke’s Bay for the rescheduled Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m) on October 22.

- NZME

Guineas still a target Promising three-year-old Dragon remains in the mix for a trip to Christchurch. The son of Power’s build-up has been interrupted by a succession of rain-affected tracks, but trainer Mark Forbes is still hopeful of a shot at the Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m). “The tracks obviously haven’t played their part and we’re running short of time, but it’s the same for everyone,” he said. “There’s two races for him at Te Aroha next Wednesday, but it depends on the weather.”

- NZME

Ready for Everest Hugh Bowman gets the best out of Bonneval at the Underwood Stakes. see if they go forward with him on Saturday, but we’ll be riding our race with both of ours.”

Joining Bonneval in the Caulfield Stakes is Baker and Forsman’s Australian Derby winner Jon Snow, a smart last-start winner of the Gr.3 JRA Cup (2040m) at Moonee Valley and also using Saturday’s race as a lead-up to the Caulfield Cup. “He’s thrived over there,” Forsman said of the Iffraaj entire.

“The question with him is 2000m weight-for-age, he’s not

ideally placed because he’s another one now looking for 2400m.

“We’re just looking for another good, solid run from him ahead of the Caulfield Cup.” Bonneval was already assured of a start in the Caulfield Cup before her Underwood win made her exempt from the ballot and Jon Snow has a start guaranteed at sixth spot on the order of entry, but stablemate Lizzie L’Amour remains less certain of a start at 20th on the order for the 18-horse field.

The Zabeel mare will seek to further enhance her chances of a start when she tackles Sunday’s Listed Cranbourne Cup (2025m).

“We’re really happy with her.

“She was unlucky last time but she should get her chance on Sunday,” Forsman said.

“If she’s going to be competitive in a Caulfield Cup, she should probably be winning the Cranbourne Cup. She needs to show she deserves her chance. Hopefully she can get the breaks and take her opportunity.”

- NZME

Three-time TJ Smith Stakes winner Chautauqua may be growing older and greyer but he still has the will to win, trainer Michael Hawkes says. The seven-year-old, who completed his final serious gallop around Rosehill on Tuesday, is one of 12 contenders in the $10 million Everest (1200m) at Randwick tomorrow. “With the big money on offer there’s been a lot of horses that have actually been aimed for this race, us included,” Hawkes said. “It’s a quality field. It’s got a lot of depth to it and it’s probably the best sprinters in Australia at this point in time.” Hawkes said the horse had a track record of doing the “unthinkable”.

Shield stays at the Naki

Mid Canterbury second-five Nete Caucau was in action for the Hammers the last time they played the King Country, back in 2015 at the Ashburton Showgrounds.

Hammers history: King Country

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

While the Mid Canterbury Hammers have a lot of work to do this weekend when they take on the King Country, they will know they have history on their side.

The green and golds have never lost to the team that produced the late All Blacks legend Sir Colin Meads, winning all five encounters.

The first time the two sides met

was in Ashburton in 2008, with the Hammers taking out the victory 32-17.

Next year in Te Kuiti, they won 24-12, and had to wait till 2011 for their third encounter, with the Hammers winning 37-12 in Methven.

Their fourth encounter took place in this weekend’s venue of Taupo in 2013, with the Hammers picking up their second 3217 scoreline.

The last time the two sides met was in 2015, with the Hammers winning 25-17.

Only seven players who played that day are in the current Hammers squad, with only four available for selection.

Mid Canterbury’s Maleli Sau has regained control at the top of the Heartland try-scoring table, with his hat-trick against Buller last week.

He currently sits on 10 tries,

two clear of Timoci Seruwalu of Wanganui, and three clear of Kalavini Leatigaga.

After running the show for Buller at the Ashburton Showgrounds last week, James Lash rules the roost on the points scoring charts, with 124.

Mid Canterbury’s Jarred Percival trails him, currently sitting on 89, with the King Country’s Reece MacDonald their highest scorer with 46.

A 10-minute spell which started with a cynical foul by Manawatu prop Michael Ala’alatoa allowed Taranaki to pile on an unanswered 19 points and retain the Ranfurly Shield in New Plymouth on Wednesday night.

A rampant home side ran in three tries as Ala’alatoa sat in the sin-bin for a professional foul; playing the ball on the ground with his line under siege.

And that was the difference in a 46-25 win.

The win not only locks up the Shield for the summer but seals Taranaki’s place at the top of the Premiership table with a game in hand as Canterbury, so long the title favourites, now unable to peg them back.

Waisake Naholo was sublime in his return to provincial rugby from All Blacks duty and was obviously playing at a different level to those around him. His one-handed take of a pop pass from second five Sean Wainui in the 16th minute was followed by an acrobatic dive in the corner for a try which gave the home side an 8-3 lead. An explosive step and surge by the powerful winger on the stroke of halftime ended a sublime period of power rugby from Taranaki, who went to the break leading 27-6.

Taranaki scored two other tries in the period when they were a man up, both to centre Seta Tamanivalu, who benefited from good work by athletic flanker PitaGus Sowakula and then speedy first five-eighth Stephen Perofeta.

Manawatu had the added agony of losing playmaker Otere Black just before halftime to complete a terrible 10 minutes.

Halfback James Booth, with a jink off the ruck, scored early in the second half before fans took special delight when Charlie Ngatai hit the attacking line to further extend the lead.

Ambrose Curtis kept the Turbos’ hopes alive and further narrowed the gap, but the home side held tight before exploding towards the finish line with an acrobatic try to Kylem O’Donnell from a crossfield kick and a finishing burst from Adrian Wyrill.

■ RUGBY

Dominance ‘abhorred’ An English columnist says the All Blacks dominance threatens world rugby.

Writing in the Guardian, Bret Harris says the success of the All Blacks might be wonderful for New Zealand, but questions remain whether it is positive for test rugby and the health of the game in other countries.

“This is particularly true for Australia, as the Wallabies play the Kiwis more often than any other team,” wrote Harris.

“Never in the history of sport has there been an international team as dominant as the All Blacks.

“The New Zealanders have lost only two games since winning the 2015 World Cup – an exhibition against Ireland in Chicago and the second test against the combined might of the Lions, which they played with 14 men for almost three quarters of the game after Sonny Bill Williams was red-carded.

“While New Zealand has been the top country in world rugby for more than 100 years, the All Blacks have not always been invincible, especially at the World Cup from 1991 to 2007 when they were regularly knocked out in the play-off stages.

“The All Blacks would dominate test rugby in between World Cups only to choke at the showpiece event, giving the likes of Australia, England and South Africa an opportunity to claim the mantle as the world’s best team.

“But the All Blacks have now won the last two World Cups in 2011 and 2015 and it is not beyond the realms of possibility

Rebels sign Thorpe The Melbourne Rebels have lured former All Blacks manager Tony Thorpe to fill the club’s new team director role ahead of the 2018 Super Rugby season. The role will drive standards, discipline, travel and high-performance outcomes after an end-of-season review into the Rebels’ rugby programme.

Thorpe’s background has included two years as team manager with the All Blacks and three Super Rugby championships in the same role with the Crusaders.

Taumalolo ‘too heavy’ Jason Taumalolo’s tenure with Tonga has started on an interesting note. The Tonga team has been forced to leave him behind – temporarily. The Cowboys front rower was asked to leave the team’s flight to Tonga after it was overloaded, with too much weight on the plane.

Taumalolo and Siliva Havili were asked to stay behind, revealed coach Kristian Woolf. “They had to off-load a couple of guys and unfortunately, one of those was Jason. It was a funny one.” - NZME

Bell now a Braveheart Reiko Ioane is part of an All Blacks outfit sweeping all before it. they will remain undefeated until they lift the Webb Ellis Cup again in Japan in 2019.

“This kind of dominance is abhorred in other sports.

“Most professional sporting competitions have introduced drafts and/or salary caps to maintain parity among teams, seeing it as detrimental for one side to win all the time, but these sort of equalising mechanisms are not applicable to test rugby.”

Harris said England was one side which could threaten the All Blacks.

“Under former Wallabies coach Eddie Jones, England are certainly mobilising their forces to make

a genuine assault on the World Cup in Japan, instilling the same will to win that the men in white had in 2003.

Rugby supporters around the globe are salivating at the prospect of England hosting the All Blacks at Twickenham in November next year, but that is a long time to wait to see the Kiwis knocked off their pedestal.

“In the meantime, the Wallabies and the Springboks look as if they have turned the corner, raising hope that a famous win against the All Blacks is not too far away.

Both Australia and South Africa gave the All Blacks a run for their

money in the Rugby Championship, narrowly losing epic contests in Dunedin and Cape Town respectively.

“France, of course, are always a wildcard at the World Cup, having knocked the All Blacks out of the tournament in 1999 and 2007 and almost upsetting them in the final in Auckland in 2011.

“The All Blacks play France in Paris on their end of year tour.

“Les Bleus always step up when they play New Zealand and will be a formidable opponent.”

There was a danger though, according to Harris that the All Blacks could turn rugby into “a big yawn”.

Ferns down, but not out, says Southby

By Cathy Walshe Sloppy execution and too many mindless moments peppered the Silver Ferns’ disheartening third Test Constellation Cup loss to Australia, but coach Janine Southby believes the damage isn’t irreparable.

The Ferns have now lost each test to date in the four-match series by ever-increasing margins.

Pipped 57-54 last week in Auckland, they lost match two in Christchurch 60-52 on Sunday then stumbled to a 55-43 loss in Adelaide on Wednesday.

In a hugely inconsistent third test performance, the Kiwis veered between the sublime and the ridiculous in losing the first quarter 12-10 and the second 18-9, winning the third 15-8 then falling over 17-9 in the fourth.

“In the third quarter we came out and probably had one of the best quarters we’ve had over the whole season from an attacking and defensive point of view,” Southby told NZ Newswire.

“We got a lot of gains and we scored off them, but in the fourth quarter we completely capitulated.”

The Kiwis managed to generate a steady supply of turnover ball, but struggled to find

a quick path through the midcourt and into their shooting circle.

Shooters Bailey Mes (16 from 17), Maria Tutaia (16/20) and Te Paea Selby-Rickit (11/15) were accurate enough with the ball in hand, but never really received the quantity or quality of ball they needed.

“We put a lot of pressure on to get defensive ball and then we worked really hard to get the ball to a place where we felt we could give ourselves good scoring opportunities,” Southby said.

“Then it was just a mindless moment and sloppy execution.

“Some of that is in our control, and some of that is being able to make sure we absorb the pressure the opposition put on us.”

She’s confident the Silver Ferns can regroup and deliver an improved performance in the fourth and final test in Sydney on Saturday.

“We’re losing ball on attack unnecessarily – from our point of view, we know that we’re letting ourselves down,” Southby said.

“The second big focus for us is being able to match and absorb pressure together as a team.

“There are a lot of contributing factors and none of them are unsolvable.

“Everything is fixable.”

Warriors rookie forward James Bell is one of seven uncapped players named to play for Scotland at the Rugby League World Cup. The former New Zealand Maori representative will turn out for the Bravehearts after qualifying through his Scottish grandfather.

The 23-year-old back-rower made his NRL debut off the bench in the Warriors against Cronulla after impressing for the Intrust side. “Both my parents are Maori but my pop on my dad’s side is actually full Scottish, so he came here straight from Scotland,” Bell said. - NZME

Don’t dismiss the Kiwis Kangaroos backrower Matt Gillett reckons New Zealand will be more dangerous than ever at the Rugby League World Cup despite losing high-profile stars to Tonga. Tonga are now considered a World Cup dark horse. “Tonga will be a danger for sure,” Gillett said. But Gillett believed New Zealand should not be dismissed. “They are still playing for their country,” he said.

“They will still want to win.” - AAP

Hunt gets call-up The last time Ben Hunt ditched a rugby league camp it did not end well. But the playmaker had a pretty good excuse when he asked coach Mal Meninga if he could skip Kangaroos duty on November 3 – he is getting married. Hunt has come a long way since getting a 12-month Origin ban for breaking a curfew. He was so convinced he would not be considered that he had booked his wedding the same day Australia play France.

However, McGuire received coach Mal Meninga’s backing when the World Cup squad was unveiled – much to his relief.

All go for Salmon Run

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

Organisers are ready to rock and roll for this year’s instalment of the Salmon Run. In what will be the third year of the event, it has been expanded to include a half-marathon.

“Things are all go. We had a

working bee getting all the signs out on the tracks, and getting everything ready,” organiser Mandy Hurst said.

“We have already reached more entries than last year, and had 15 more yesterday, so if they keep coming in like they have, that will be great.”

Despite some heavy rain around the district over the past week, that has not affected preparations for the event.

“We have had someone in clearing out some of the tracks but they are all good to go and perfect at the moment,” she said.

“We just hope there is no nor’

west and hope for good weather.”

All events start from the Rakaia Domain, with all walking and running events involving some part of the Rakaia River.

Entries to the Rakaia Lions run event will still be open on the day, available at http://www.thesalmonrun.nz.

Happy to be back Melbourne Victory winger Kosta Barbarouses is confident he can have an immediate impact in the first game of his second stint with the A-League club.

Highlands attracting more big names Shane van Gisbergen and ‘Mad Mike’ Whiddett, are the latest big names confirmed for the Highlands 501 from November 10-12.

The Highlands 501 will be the last Australian GT event to be held at the Central Otago track and it promises to be a fitting finale featuring two of the most exciting drivers in the country.

Highlands has been a happy hunting ground for van Gisbergen who won the Highlands 101 in 2015 with Klark Quinn.

The V8 Supercars star celebrated with a burnout in front of the fans on the hill and he’s promised a repeat performance in November if he claims his second win in the race.

“I’d never done a skid in a GT car before and it was a pretty cool way to celebrate,” says van Gisbergen.

“Hopefully I get the chance to do it again but I’m just stoked Tony has invited me to race in the

McLaren. It’s the last Australian GT race at Highlands and I really wanted to be there.

“I love the race, I love the format and it’s one of my favourite tracks in the world.”

For drift superstar, ‘Mad Mike’ Whiddett, it’s another chance to show off his circuit racing skills after an impressive debut at last year’s Hampton Downs 101.

“It’s a dream come true to get back to Highlands and have another crack in a GT car,” says Whiddett.

“I love GT racing. It’s so different to drifting where three judges decide if you win or lose. In the GTs if you’re fast, you’ve got the lap times to prove it.

“If you’re not, you’re out the back.”

“I put everything into it last year to make sure I was as prepared as possible but even so, I surprised myself. I had no idea how I was going to stack up against some of

Shane van Gisbergen the top drivers in Australia and New Zealand. To qualify the car in the top ten and finish 8th overall was a huge confidence boost.”

“It’s all about getting a feel for the car.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re in a GT car or a drift car, on a motorbike or a skateboard.

“It’s a tool and it’s about making that tool a part of your body as fast as possible.”

Whiddett ended up in hospital in 2015 after he put his drift car into the wall at Highlands, but he’s hoping for better luck at the Highlands 501.

“Highlands requires 100 per cent commitment,” says Whiddett.

“There’s so much elevation change. There’s no room for error anywhere. Like SVG, I’ve raced on a lot of different tracks around the world and Highlands is my favourite.”

The All Whites’ World Cup qualification opponents Peru have been dragged into an alleged matchfixing controversy. Peru, the world’s 12th-ranked team, face a twomatch playoff against New Zealand after drawing their final round match 1-1 against Colombia in Lima. Colombia striker Radamel Falcao is under the spotlight, after appearing to suggest to his Peruvian opponents that they play for a draw at the end of the game.

It has been suggested Falcao was telling his opponents to calm down their play, as the 1-1 scoreline was enough to benefit both sides. - PA

Comeback for Yankees Didi Gregorius, following in the October footprints left by Derek Jeter, homered twice off Corey Kluber as the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians 5-2 in game five the Division Series and dethroned the AL champions. It keeps the Yankees’ MLB season alive and completes their comeback from a 2-0 deficit in the series.

These bend-but-don’t-break Yankees staved off elimination for the fourth time in this post-season and advanced to play the Astros in the AL Championship Series. - AP

RURAL TRADING POST

W

This was just one of the many storylines being played out on the day, with the USA not qualifying for the first time since 1986, Chile being knocked out, Lionel Messi scoring a hat-trick to secure Argentina’s place, and a whole bunch of other things as well.

It is great to see, as often these international breaks can be a bit of a drag for a club football Jaime Pitt-MacKay fan, but this has been SPORTS REPORTER great.

It isn’t something I want to rub in to the rugby world’s face, but I think it something that is seriously lacking.

World rugby is just so limited to the few elite teams that there just isn’t this magic possible in that arena.

Sure it is great to see close, exciting games like the All Blacks v the Springboks last week, but seeing riots in the street and grown men crying just because their country qualified for the world cup for the first time in 30-odd years, that is what other sports need.

■ CRICKET

Game’s future up for discussion The direction of test cricket lies in the balance this week in Auckland as the International Cricket Council assembles its future plans.

Various committees are in session to develop action points, with key decisions set for ratification by the board today.

Multiple issues will be discussed when ICC chief executive Dave Richardson conducts his post-meeting press conference.

1. Installing a nine-nation test championship. This will be run every two years from 2019, culminating in a final at Lord’s.

2. Installing a 13-nation one-day international championship to be run every three years.

3. Work out a method to incorporate new test nations Afghanistan and Ireland

Timing criticised

By Warren Barnsley Australian selector Mark Waugh has lamented the length of the limited-overs tour of India given its proximity to the Ashes.

Australia have been competing against India in one-day internationals since September 17 ahead of wrapping up the Twenty20 series today.

For some players, including vice-captain David Warner, it’s been back-to-back tours after the two-test series in Bangladesh in September, with just a short break ahead before the Sheffield Shield season begins on October 26.

Waugh, who’s travelling India with the side, would prefer players have more time off ahead of the Australian summer and a longer preparation for red-ball cricket.

“It’s got to be said, it’s not an ideal time to be away from Australia,” Waugh said yesterday.

“This series has been a bit spread out. It would have been better probably if it was a week or two shorter.”

“Obviously Steve Smith going home might be a blessing in disguise, a bit of a freshen-up.”

into the current world financial model.

4. Assess how Pakistan can best be brought back into the cricketing fold as a venue.

5. Consider the proposed four-day test between South Africa and Zimbabwe at Port Elizabeth as a trial for the future.

6. Establish how much emphasis the ICC wants to place on cricket earning a place in the Olympics and Commonwealth Games, and how much they are prepared to sacrifice to come under those bodies’ jurisdictions.

7. Tap into what can further develop the women’s game after survey results revealed the World Cup was the most engaged the public had been about that arm of the sport.

PUBLIC NOTICES

Football centre stage ednesday, what a day it was.

The afternoon was about as exciting as two hours in the middle of the afternoon could get.

I imagine a fair few have no idea what I’m talking about, but it was a massive day for the Football World Cup. It was the last round of qualifying for North America and South America, and it has had a pretty big impact on who our All Whites will play come November for a spot at the world cup.

It is now set to be Peru, but throughout the 90 minutes of the games, it bounced from them to Colombia, back to Peru, on to Chile and then back to Peru.

It was thrilling, constantly checking the scores and trying to figure out what all the different results meant.

It probably gives the All Whites one of their best chances to qualify, and should make for a great atmosphere in Wellington, with already more than 10,000 registering for the waiting list for tickets.

Friday, October 13, 2017

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): If you are spending just as much time thinking about what is not happening as about what is, know that it’s the thought-ratio of unhappiness. More time in the present moment equals more happiness.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): The word amateur literally means “one who loves.” Those who do not exchange work for money have the luxury of delivering the purest personal expression.

Enjoy being amateur for as long as it lasts.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’ll witness some brilliant creativity and perhaps participate in it. Don’t be surprised if there’s something a little subversive about it, as that’s usually part and parcel with creative brilliance.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Traditions speak to a group identity and from them can spring a sense of belonging. It’s a fine time to make plans for final parts of the year that will build the bond between you and the people you care about.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You need attention. Everyone does. But few work at making it worthwhile for others to give it to them. You offer a lot of fun, usefulness and loveliness in return for their focus. This is what you’ll be up to today.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): There’s something dangerous about having your money easily accessible to you today. The more time you take to think about your purchases, the better off you’ll be.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You have passed this way before, but don’t worry: You’re not falling backward, regressing, or repeating needless and mindless patterns. You’re simply getting familiar with this road that you will soon own.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): A high-intensity life can still be a happy one, but it works a lot better when you have healthy release valves built into it. Go on the search for better ways to equalise the pressure and effectively cope.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ve a sense about what others want from you – not the obvious need on the surface, but the underlying craving that they wouldn’t dare ask for even if they could articulate it.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The joy isn’t in the other thing: It’s in you. Furthermore, joy doesn’t get stolen all that often. Usually people hand it over in a mindless or weak moment. Protect your joy.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Your alone thoughts are different from the thoughts you have when others are around. It’s time to consider how the physical and emotional presence of another changes things for better or worse.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You aren’t trying to make a person love you, though you wouldn’t mind if it happened naturally. You’re ready for a little more respect, friendship, attention and even passion.

Deal struck for Lever Jake Lever has been granted his wish to join Melbourne after the AFL club agreed to send two first-round draft picks to Adelaide. The Demons will receive star defender Lever, draft pick No.35 and a future third-round selection. In exchange the Crows will receive Melbourne’s No.10 draft pick and a selection in each of the first and fourth rounds in 2018. The 21-year-old Lever informed Adelaide of his desire to return home to Victoria two days after their grand final defeat to Richmond.

Nuzman quits from jail Carlos Arthur Nuzman has sent his resignation letter as head of the Brazilian Olympic Committee from a prison. He’s been held since last week amid an investigation into a vote-buying scheme to bring the 2016 Olympics to Rio de Janeiro. The national Olympic committee yesterday designated vice president Paulo Wanderley to replace Nuzman, who had headed the BOC for 22 years. Wanderley, who described his predecessor’s resignation as “a relief”, will serve the three years remaining on Nuzman’s term.

Sorting men from boys

He may be regarding it as his toughest challenge in endurance sport, but there’s just something about Braden Currie that suggests the former Methven man will produce a supreme effort in the Ironman World Championship this weekend.

Currie will line up against some of the best in the business in the event in Kona, Hawaii on Sunday morning but is doing so off the back of one of his best ever preparations for an event and is going into the challenge feeling primed and ready to go.

“It’s hard to judge overall fitness levels,” Currie said.

“But at the moment I’m injury-free and feeling good. I’m in the best condition I’ve ever been in and happy with where I am.”

Currie has spent the best part of the last month based in Boulder, Colorado training at altitude to get himself in the best possible condition for this weekend.

“To start-off, it was just about recovering from Santa Cruz 70.3 by keeping my legs turning over and trying to freshen up.”

“From there I moved into some larger volume three-day

Taumalolo too heavy for plane P32

blocks where I worked really hard. I then had a lighter day off to refresh, and started the threeday cycle again.

“This last week we have started to taper off and bring in some speed work.”

The former Coast to Coast winner has wins in Ironman New Zealand, Taupo 70.3, a third placing in the recent Ironman Asia Pacific Championship and a win at Santa Cruz 70.3 to thank for earning a spot in one of the toughest races in the world.

The Kona mission is unlike anything Currie has faced before. Consisting of a 3.8km

swim, a 180.8km bike ride and 42.2km run in humid heat – it’s an event that really sorts the men out from boys.

The weekend will start off a busy summer period for Currie.

Safely through Kona he will then focus his attention on the Xterra World Championships in Maui later this month before the Asia Pacific 70.3 Championships in Sydney four weeks later.

In December he will be back in New Zealand to defend his Taupo 70.3 title before tackling Red Bull Defiance and then Challenge Wanaka in the new year.

LeBron James injured LeBron James won’t play again this preseason, and there’s a chance he’ll miss Cleveland’s hyped opener with Boston. James didn’t practise yesterday, a day after he made his exhibition debut after being slowed by a sprained left ankle sustained on September 27. Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said the four-time MVP is sore and has been ruled out of Cleveland’s final preseason game in Orlando.

As for James’ status for the against the Celtics, Lue was non-committal.

“We’ll just see what happens.”
