Cold brings a desperate need By Sue Newman
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
With the real bite of winter yet to be felt, family support services are running critically low on stocks of warm bedding and warm clothing. Both the Salvation Army and St Vincent de Paul family stores say they are now regularly fielding requests from people who are cold and cannot afford to pay retail prices for clothes and bedding. And they’re regularly having to turn those people away. “At this time of year we usually have stocks of blankets but now we have virtually nothing, Salvation Army Family Store manager Maria Macdonald (far right) said. The Sallies blanket store is two shelves high and four bays wide. Just a couple of woollen blankets and three or four small fleece throws
are stacked at one end. Anything that’s given is gone before it hits the shelves, Macdonald said. “We’re getting several inquiries a day and people are having to walk away with nothing, we’ve got nothing to give. This has probably been one of the lowest years for years for bedding.” Stocks of sheets and duvets and duvet covers were also almost at zero. The family store is also urgently in need of woollen jerseys and hats and warm jackets. Thermals and warm undergarments were also in high demand. While the store had its regulars, there were many new clients looking for household items and warm clothing, particularly people who were new to Ashburton and who had little experience of cold winters, Macdonald said.
The Salvation Army Foodbank is also low on essentials, with an urgent need for cereals and items that could fill lunch boxes, said its manager Judith Lilley. People who haven’t been clients for some time are coming in for help with food supplies, perhaps on the back of higher power bills, she said. “These are people who’ve been managing quite well but who suddenly need a bit of assistance.” The winter clothing and winter bedding shelves were also virtually bare at St Vincent de Paul, with relieving manager Pauline Marsden saying winter pyjamas for children were in high demand. “We simply can’t keep up with them. We don’t have any stocks as anything we get goes so quickly. We have families coming in and they’re cold,” she said.

■■ INDEPENDENT POLICE CONDUCT AUTHORITY
Police incorrectly follow procedures Police in the Mid/South Canterbury area will be receiving additional training in Search and Surveillance Act procedures, exhibit handling, and prosecution preparation after the Independent Police Conduct Authority found officers did not correctly follow procedures during an arrest in 2017. The arrested man, referred to as Mr X in the IPCA report which was released yesterday, appeared in the Ashburton District Court on February 5, 2018, charged with possession of methamphetamine after he was arrested on May 15, 2017. The prosecution case depended upon police proving that the accused, Mr X, owned a bum bag
that contained the methamphetamine. In court, the officer who seized the bum bag said Mr X’s wallet was inside the bag when it was seized. Mr X denied any knowledge of the bum bag and the methamphetamine, and argued the police had put his wallet in the bag. The judge was unable to conclude beyond reasonable doubt that Mr X’s wallet was in the bum bag at the time it was seized and attribute the possession of the bum bag to Mr X, and therefore dismissed the charge. The authority backed the two officers A and B in their findings, saying they found it likely that the wallet was already in the bum bag
when it was seized. The man was arrested in Ashburton on May 15, 2017 at about 2.30am after officers A and B were driving along Tancred Street in a marked car and noticed a car parked down an alleyway. A man was found in the vehicle with his then girlfriend and was taken into custody by the officers due to a warrant for arrest after he failed to appear in the Ashburton District Court. The officers searched the car after noticing a knife in the footwell, locating cannabis, and two pipes in the car. A ‘bum bag’ was also seized by the officers, and was found to contain methamphetamine. The report found that Mr X
and unreliable” and Officer A’s evidence was unhelpful in clarifying the location of the wallet. The officers were contrite about their lack of preparation for their court appearance, explaining that they did not expect to be so closely questioned about their actions.

was lawfully arrested, but should have been searched before being placed in the police car. They were found to be justified in seizing the knife under section 123 of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012, however, the search and seizure of the other items in the car was unlawful, and that the seized items at the scene were not adequately recorded. The man was transferred to the Christchurch custody unit after he was taken to the Ashburton Police Station and searched. The investigation found that in this process that Officer B did not adequately record the seized items at the scene. The judge found that Officer B’s testimony was “unsatisfactory

Brown wants open debate on domain plan By Sue Newman
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
Deputy mayor Neil Brown pulled no punches yesterday in his efforts to have discussion on the future development of Ashburton Domain held in a meeting with public and media present. The development plan was on the service delivery committee’s agenda as a public excluded item, but as councillors were getting down to business, Brown made it very clear he was not happy with that decision. “I can’t see why the draft plan is in public excluded. I’d like to have discussions on this and I’d like to see it moved into open meeting,” he said. Brown said there were no obvious reasons for discussion to be in-committee and if there were reasons, he needed to hear what could be so sensitive that discussions on the plan needed to be held with the public excluded. He had read through the plan and there was nothing in there
Ashburton Deputy Mayor Neil Brown wants any debate on the Ashburton Domain plan to be held in open meeting. that pointed to the need to talk about it behind closed doors, he said. Councillor Leen Braam backed him up.
“I’m in councillor Brown’s corner. We discussed this six months ago and it’s come back with some small changes so I can’t see why it needs to be public excluded,”
of the ideas from a recent youth forum could be included. Brown agreed, saying that during a workshop it might become evident why the public was excluded and it might help with some better decision making. Braam did not agree and he was prepared to stick to his guns and push for the plan to be discussed in the open section of yesterday’s meeting. He and Peter Reveley voted against Favel’s motion, but all other councillors agreed the draft plan should go back to a workshop. After the meeting Brown said he was comfortable with the plan going back to a workshop but said it was important councillors issued a challenge if there were items they did not believe should be discussed with the public excluded. It is unclear whether the public and media will be able to attend this yet to be scheduled workshop.
he said. Chief executive Hamish Riach said that Brown’s request created a catch-22 situation for councillors. The reasons the draft plan was being taken in-committee could not be discussed in an open meeting, however, if those reasons were found not to stack up, then the issue could be moved into open meeting. That meant it could not be debated at that time, he said. Mayor Donna Favel was clearly keen to see the issue wrapped up and off the table. The way forward, she said would be to remove the item from the meeting agenda and send it back to a workshop. The first workshop was held with public excluded. “A second workshop should get us to where we need to go,” she said. She put that suggestion as a motion and was supported by Lynette Lovett who said the second workshop could also mean some

■■SCHOOLS’ MUSIC FESTIVAL
Students hit the right notes I was lucky enough to be asked to do a review for the first night of the Heartland Bank Schools’ Music Festival and what a night! Firstly well done to everyone involved in putting together this festival. As I sat in the audience watching the kids take their places on stage you could see the excitement in their eyes and the nervous smiles looking for that familiar face of reassurance sitting in the audience. The massed choir was up first. Conducted by Kerrin Corcoran they started the night off with God of Nations, Wonderful Life, I’m Still Standing and A Million Dreams. The choir sang with great gusto and as they progressed through the songs you could see the nerves starting to subside especially when they had to break out the air guitars. Hinds School was the first of the schools to perform with Coming Home and I’m a Believer. The latter song had a comedic nature which was a joy to watch as their little faces shone with delight whilst performing. This was conducted by MaryAnne Lemmens and was a great way to start the individual school performances. Up next was St Joseph’s, under the management of Anna Lischner with Walk Me Home one of my favourite songs by Pink which was sung with feeling and meaning. The second song was Somewhere Only We Know which had the choir using torch lights during the instrumental break which was a simple, yet effective concept. Both songs were sung incredibly well. Mayfield school choir was conducted by Kirsten Steel and sang Crocodile Rock with lots of movement and fun had by the kids. The choir also sung Pompeii and the choir did a great job. Hampstead performed Sing and Give us Hope with some powerful singers amongst the choir. The focus on their faces while performing was priceless. We heard from the massed choir again with three songs that

This choir had lots of gumption and enjoyed what they were singing. The Representative Choir, made up of selected students from all of the schools performing in the festival, was under the management of Elaine Vallender. This choir sang songs from various musicals including Green Eggs and Ham from Seussical the Musical, Hakuna Matata from The Lion King and Castle on a Cloud from Les Miserables. All songs were sung with great dic-
were obviously favourites among the children as all were sung with great conviction – Wagon Wheel, One Call Away and Homework Blues. Ashburton Intermediate A was conducted by Jo Castelow and sang Hold Back the River and a new song Release My Love which was written by Ali Harper about the Christchurch tragedy earlier in the year. The choir sang with raw feeling and included beautiful solos. Kelly Markham conducted the Lauriston school choir who sang Try Everything from the anima-

tion and dedication with the latter song simply beautiful. The Ashburton College Phoenix Chorus took to the stage with In Virtute Tua, The Driving Lesson and Your Song. This choir under conductor Jo Castelow showcased gorgeous harmonies and is a prime example of what can be achieved by singing in choirs through the school years. The evening concluded with another set from the massed choir this time conducted by Anna Lischner. The choir sang Reach, Choo Choo Ch’Boogie and Dare to Dream with great atten-
tion to detail. Whilst I enjoyed all the individual choir performances, for me the massed choir performances were definitely my favourites. With approximately 250 children on stage the sound en mass was phenomenal. It really is a sight to behold and every single one of the children should be incredibly proud of themselves. It never ceases to amaze me the talent we have within our community and this certainly was a thoroughly enjoyable night. - Reviewed by Kim Vessey

Two Ashburton women have had a little financial stress lifted from their lives as tertiary students, thanks to Mid Canterbury Rural Women. The pair, Tori Watson and Zoe Greenslade are this year’s scholarship winners, earning themselves $1000 each towards study costs. A third student, Alexandra Wootten, was given a $500 grant by the organisation. Over the past 18 years Rural Women have been awarding scholarships to students whose home is in the Ashburton District and each year, selecting the winners becomes more difficult, scholarship committee convener Pauline Hewson said. “This year we had a wide variety of applicants and we were very impressed by them, particularly the number of other activities many were involved

Students are required to complete an extensive application form and generally winners are selected from the information provided on those forms rather than through interviews, Hewson said. There two key qualifying critieria – Mid Canterbury must be their home base and they must be undertaking tertiary study. For those on the scholarship panel reading through the impressive lineup of applications brought home just how many great young people there were from the Ashburton District, who were doing incredibly well, she said.

YMCA youth survey open A two-yearly survey aimed at giving a voice to young people aged 12-24 years living in the Mid and South Canterbury region is now open online until June 30. The 2019 YMCA South & Mid Canterbury Youth Survey covers topics ranging from available education, career, social and transportation opportunities to attitudes regarding stress, alcohol use, volunteering, the environment and social media use. A report of the survey results will be made public in late July. “Since we began the survey in 2014 we consistently hear that young people don’t think there
are many opportunities for them to influence decisions that affect them,” YMCA marketing and communications manager Michèle Keggenhoff said. “Well, here’s a great opportunity for young people to say what life is like for them here, what they’d to change, what matters most to them, what concerns them. “We’ll share the results widely with decision-makers in the government, business, health, education and social sectors so that the collective youth voice of our entire region is represented.” The biennial survey is con-
ducted by the YMCA as a public service to both the region’s young people and the wider community, as much available data regarding young people is not local but extrapolated from the Canterbury and Christchurch area. The survey has grown to cover the four districts of Ashburton, Timaru, Mackenzie and Waimate, and 724 young people completed the 2017 survey. “We’re hoping for an equally good response this year. We’re especially interested in hearing from those in the 19-24-yearold age bracket and from those living outside our main centres
of Ashburton and Timaru,” she said. “We’ve got great relationships with the region’s schools, which helps us reach teens but we’d really love to see increased participation from those who have already left school and may be working or studying at the tertiary level.” The survey can be completed at www.surveymonkey. com/r/2019_South_and_Mid_ Canterbury_Youth_Survey, or can be found on the YMCA South & Mid Canterbury and YMCA Mid Canterbury Facebook pages.
If you’re caring for someone with a life limiting illness it’s important to take a break and make time for yourself, says Hospice Mid Canterbury manager of volunteer services, Christine Wilson. She’s charged with creating the opportunities for carers to take a break and is able to do that through a team of volunteers who step in and provide companionship for the person needing care. That service is one of the growing number of services Hospice Mid Canterbury provides, but providing sitters is one where the need is growing, Wilson said. “We always need more people, particularly in Methven. They’re invaluable in giving carers a break and for bringing the outside world in for clients,” she said. Many people who were caring for a loved one felt guilty if they took time out, but it was important they had time away for their own health, Wilson said. “Carers are under so much stress and pressure, they need a break and they need someone who can step in and be there for them. Just having a little time away can make such a difference.” Wilson said carers who rarely took a break often described feeling overwhelmingly tired by the need to be constantly there for an ill person. She matches her sitters with clients and their carers and said it takes time for trust to develop but once that’s established some special relationships often develop. “Yes, it’s about giving the carer a break but it’s also about bringing another person into the client’s life.” Volunteers provide whatever support is needed for a client and that can be sitting with them and talking or reading or it can be providing company for the caregiver and joining them in activities. Simply being there and having a chat can make a world of difference, she said.

Eight arrests in drug raids NZME Southern police seized a smorgasbord of drugs, ammunition and cash, and arrested eight people including a Mongrel Mob member, during raids in Dunedin and Oamaru this week. Southern District intelligence co-ordinator Acting Detective Sergeant Reece Munro of Dunedin, said they executed eight search warrants in Oamaru and Dunedin this week. The raids were successful, netting a haul including cannabis, methamphetamine, MDMA, ammunition and a little over $10,000 in cash, he said. A drug detector dog and officers from the Armed Offenders Squad helped execute the warrants. Among the arrested were a 52-year-old Mongrel Mob member and a 49-year-old Dunedin female, who appeared earlier this week at the Dunedin District Court. “I would like to take the time to ask those who engage in this type of offending, if they actually stop and consider the detrimental im-

Brits apologise to NZ for antics, frauds NZME Two British men, who will be booted out of the country after being sentenced for their parts in a roof-fixing fraud, have apologised to New Zealand. Their crimes were linked to last summer’s now infamous “unruly” travelling tourists. Tommy Ward, 26, and William Donohue, 25, appeared yesterday in the Auckland District Court before Judge David Burns. The pair, who have spent much of their time in New Zealand in custody after their arrests in February, had earlier pleaded guilty to fraud charges. They were the final two British travellers making their way through New Zealand’s courts
Horror crash near Waiouru
after the unruly tourists’ crimes and behaviour made global headlines earlier this year. Both men will now be deported to the United Kingdom after Judge Burns sentenced Ward to seven months’ imprisonment and Donohue to six months – much of which has already been served. The court heard yesterday a provisional booking for a flight had been made for Saturday. Donohue’s lawyer said his client “wishes to apologise to New Zealand as a whole” after what was described as an ill-conceived attempt at a holiday. After achieving international notoriety, Donohue, who worked as a painter in the UK, has “learnt his lesson” and no longer wishes
to be a burden on New Zealand’s taxpayers, the court heard. Both men have paid a reparation sum of $3300 each. Ward and Donohue arrived in New Zealand on a visitor’s visa in mid-January. Shortly after they met with James Nolan, a 26-year-old British man who had flown into the country during November. The trio then conspired to target a woman living in Auckland’s Farm Cove who needed roof repair work, the Auckland District Court heard earlier this week. The woman was eventually defrauded of $10,000, while the con-artists left the unfinished worksite and the roof in a state of disrepair, the court heard. Later, Ward and Donohue trav-
elled to Hamilton to continue the roofing ruse with another British man, 59-year-old James Quinn. However, the woman targeted grew suspicious of the men, having reading articles about a travelling group of roofing scammers making their way down the country. She called the police while the three men fled – leaving two holes in the eaves of her roof and the hired tools strewn across her property. After police made public pleas to help find the travelling fraudsters, Ward and Donohue were arrested in Lower Hutt, where Ward committed another offence by stealing a passport. Quinn was arrested at Christchurch Airport in April.

One person has died after a serious crash on State Highway 1 near Waiouru. A witness to the crash in Ruapehu District had to smash a car window to rescue people – including an infant – from the wreckage. At least seven people were were injured in the two-car collision, which closed State Highway 1 south of Waiouru. Police were called to SH1 in the Waiouru Military Area, about 11.45am yesterday. A St John spokeswoman said earlier one person was in in a critical condition, two in a serious condition, and four had moderate injuries. Crash witness Alex Campbell said he was driving north behind a car when it tried to overtake a truck on a blind corner. “It went head-on into a car coming the other direction,” Campbell told the Herald. “I got out and went over. My adrenaline was pumping really hard and all I was thinking was ‘how can I help the people in this situation and get this family out as quickly as possible’. “I helped the driver out of his seat. I then proceeded to help his family out of the vehicle. “There were two adults in the back, a mother and possibly grandmother. “I had to pin the passenger front door open, bend the top of it and break the window to get an infant girl out of there.” Campbell said another child and baby were also removed from the car. He said at least two people were in the other vehicle. “The passenger was trapped inside, so we had to wait for about 20 minutes for the ambulance to come with the jaws of life.” Campbell said the front of both vehicles was caved in. He said the truck appeared to have continued on and was not involved in the crash.

OUR VIEW
A challenge to the Ashburton District Y
our mission, should you choose to accept it – stock the shelves and make them plentiful once again. The call has gone out Mid Canterbury, essential services such as the Salvation Army and St Vincent de Paul family stores are running low on stock, they need the community’s help to get things back on track again. It’s hard to fathom that there are multiple enquiries each day as to the availability of essential items and, as the winter months get colder, the demand is only going to get higher and higher. It’s a sad situation that we are again faced with families who are cold and can’t afford to pay the normal costs for basic needs
like bedding and clothing, but that is unfortunately the world that we live in at the moment. So, those of us who are a little more fortunate and are willing and able to lend a hand in one way or another, are asked to step in and do our little bit. One thing that has made me really proud to be a part of this district is that when an organisation like those mentioned above
are short on stock, the wealth of goods that comes flooding through the doors when the call goes out, is amazing. We’ve seen food drives, in particular, really well supported, and there is always a need for more non-perishable foods, especially things like cereals and things that can fill lunch boxes for kids around the district. And so, that is the challenge. We want to restock the shelves of these Mid Canterbury services with bedding and blankets and everything else in between, to ensure that no one unnecessarily goes hungry or cold during the winter months. Even if it’s a couple of cans of tinned food that you can

Five years ago: Pro-Russia separatists shot down a Ukrainian transport plane, killing all 49 people on board. Afghans braved threats of violence and searing heat to vote in a presidential runoff.

drop off, or the spare blanket in the wardrobe that hasn’t been used for a while, every little bit counts. It’s scary to think that there are children out there in our little part of the world who head to school each day with very little, or nothing, in their lunch boxes, but rising costs of living seem to make it harder and harder for some families, particularly those on low incomes, to get by. That’s not how life should be. Everyone should be able to get by safely on a moderate wage and do so while ensuring that their health and hunger don’t suffer or miss out because of ensuring they pay the bills on time to keep the power running,
or the car full of petrol. We’ll never solve the problem in one go, that’s the realisation that we all need to come to, but by quietly chipping away and taking a bit of burden off those in desperate need we can make a definite difference. So there you go Ashburton District, the challenge has been laid down for you all to get involved, and do your bit if you can. I look forward to being able to put a story on a page this time next week that says thanks to the kind generosity of the community, the stocks are full once again – and are able to keep up with the demand from the people out there who need it the most.

Thought for today: “The flag of the United States has not been created by rhetorical sentences in declarations of independence and in bills of rights. It has been created by the experience of a great people, and nothing is written upon it that has not been written by their life. It is the embodiment, not of a sentiment, but of a history.” – President Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924), in an address delivered on June 14, 1915. – AP
TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, June 14, the 165th day of 2019. There are 200 days left in the year. This is Flag Day. Today’s highlight in history: On June 14, 1954, President Dwight D Eisenhower signed a measure adding the phrase “under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance. On this date: In 1775, the Continental Army, forerunner of the United States Army, was created. In 1777, the Second Continental Congress approved the design of the original American flag. In 1940, German troops entered Paris during World War Two; the same day, the Nazis began transporting prisoners to the Auschwitz concentration camp in German-occupied Poland. In 1943, the US Supreme Court, in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, ruled 6-3 that public school students could not be forced to salute the flag of the United States. In 1968, Dr Benjamin Spock and three other peace activists were convicted in Boston of conspiring to encourage young men to evade the draft during the Vietnam War. In 1982, Argentine forces surrendered to British troops on the disputed Falkland Islands. In 1984, New Zealand Prime Minister Robert Muldoon called a snap election, a move that eventually backfired. In 1985, the 17-day hijack ordeal of TWA Flight 847 began as a pair of Lebanese Shiite Muslim extremists seized the jetliner shortly after takeoff from Athens, Greece. In 1993, President Bill Clinton nominated Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg to serve on the US Supreme Court. In 1999, About 15,000 NATO peacekeepers spread out across Kosovo, including a convoy of about 1200 US Marines. In 2017, a rifle-wielding gunman opened fire on Republican lawmakers at a congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia, wounding House Whip

Road rage moment
I
am normally a pretty calm and passive bloke who wins most of my fights by about 20 metres (as long as the opponent is very slow) but Tuesday I came close to losing the plot. I had a road rage moment. No I didn’t get cut off and come close to having an accident or anything like that but I witnessed STUPIDITY first-hand and it really upset me. Drivers texting while driving, drives me nuts! Drivers texting while driving on a bridge is next level nuts. Unlike on the road, the bridge wall takes away a bail out option. What I saw on Wednesday last week was worse again, it was top drawer ignorant, selfish and brainless. I was heading east on Moore Street, right about the entrance to McDonald’s, getting set to pull up for the lights. It was 4.17pm and reasonably busy. Going in the other direction was a young lady, who looked around the age of 20, driving a purple/pink coloured car. I didn’t see what make and model it was as I was transfixed on her. She was texting while she was driving. As all local drivers know, head-
ing west towards Methven on Moore Street between Maccas and Mitre 10 Mega is testing enough when everybody is doing things right when merging lanes. Add into the mix clear skies and at 4.17pm you get really bad sun strike. I could see the big yellow blasting into my rear vision mirror. So, not only was she merging lanes and yes, there were other cars around her, she had limited visibility out her front windscreen even if she’d been giving that 100 per cent of her attention. How stupid is that? I’m secretly hoping she will read this and change her ways, yeah I know, snowball’s chance in hell, but just in case I have done a wee bit of research regarding distracted driving.
There are some scary statistics and they are only getting worse here in New Zealand. I think the first thing I should say is, adults must lead by example because teens will automatically say “but I have seen lots of adults doing it”. I’m sure all distracted drivers think it will never happen to them and even I get tempted by the text notification going off in the car. But, like me, you can commit to NOT reading it until you have stopped driving. Here’s a few of the stats I have found that may help you with that decision. The NZTA has said that sending or reading a text message, on average, takes a driver’s eyes off the road for 4.6 seconds. Count those seconds out while you imagine driving. I reckon at 50km/h you’d get most of the way over the Ashburton Bridge. Distracted driving accounts for approximately 25 per cent of all motor vehicle crash fatalities and teens have been the largest age group that reported being distracted while driving. Driver distraction is reported to be responsible for more than 58 per cent of teen crashes.
In 2017 distraction crashes resulted in 40 deaths. In 2017 distraction crashes resulted in 240 serious injuries and 1187 minor injuries. One study concluded that texting while driving is six times more dangerous than driving while intoxicated. These statistics are only going one way in this country, so now is the time to do something about it. One way to get everyone’s attention, especially the teens’, is to hit them in the pocket. An $80 fine is ridiculous. Let’s follow Australia, Canada and Britain who all now have fines averaging $400 to $500 for cellphone related offences. If that doesn’t work, take their keys away! The time to get tough on this is now. Till next week, Hoo Roo Phill Hooper – lover not a fighter.
The proven facts in both cases are very different. In Canada there has been a 27 per cent increase in marijuana use among people aged 15 to 24 over the last year. Additionally, approximately 646,000 Canadians have reported trying marijuana for the first time in the last three months, an amount almost double the
327,000 that admitted to trying the drug for the same time period last year. Similarly, in Colorado – youth use marijuana at a rate 85 per cent higher than the national average. Now marijuana related traffic fatalities are up by 151 per cent. Now 70 per cent of 400 licensed pot shops surveyed recommend that pregnant women use mari-
juana to treat morning sickness. Also Colorado has issued over 40 little-publicised recalls of retail marijuana laced with pesticides and mould. From these examples of places where it is legal, the legalisation of marijuana in New Zealand would have similarly disastrous consequences. Gerald Jacobson

■■JAPAN
Warning of possible conflict AP Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe travelled to Tehran on Wednesday to warn that an “accidental conflict” could be sparked amid heightened tensions between Iran and the US, a message that came hours after Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels attacked a Saudi airport, wounding 26 people. Abe’s trip is the highest-level effort yet to de-escalate the crisis as Tehran appears poised to break the 2015 nuclear deal it struck with world powers, an accord that the Trump administration pulled out of last year. It’s also the first visit of a sitting Japanese premier in the 40 years since the Islamic Revolution. But success may prove difficult for Abe, as the Houthi rebel attack on Saudi Arabia’s Abha regional airport underscored. The attack is just the latest in a wave of rebel drone and missile attacks targeting the kingdom, which has been mired in a year long war in Yemen that has killed an estimated 60,000 people and pushed the Arab world’s poorest nation to the brink of famine. Iran is threatening to resume enriching uranium closer to weapons-grade level on July 7 if European allies fail to offer it new terms. While President Donald Trump says he wants to talk to Tehran, the US has piled on sanctions that have seen Iran’s rial currency plummet along with its crucial oil exports. The US also has sent an aircraft carrier and B-52 bombers to the region, along with hun-

The US blames Iran for the Houthi assaults, as well as a mysterious attack on oil tankers off the coast of the United Arab Emirates. Abe called for “more patience” on all sides in the crisis, which he warned could spiral out of control. “At the moment tension is rising. We should do anything we can to prevent an accidental conflict from happening and Iran should play its constructive role,” Abe said in an address to journalists after talks with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. Rouhani for his part iterated a warning that Iran would offer a “crushing” response if attacked by the US. He also claimed that Japan wanted to again buy Iranian crude oil, something it had stopped un-
der threat of US sanctions. Abe did not acknowledge expressing that in their talks. Abe’s plane landed at Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport on Wednesday afternoon where he was greeted by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. He immediately met Rouhani at the Sadabad Palace in northern Tehran, where soldiers on horseback bearing the Iranian and Japanese flags accompanied his car. Abe was to meet Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini yesterday. The Japanese premier was seen as an interlocutor for Trump. Abe had just invited the American president to Japan last month and is in the process of negotiating with him over economic issues as well. Middle East peace is a must for Japan, which gets most
of the oil fuelling its economy from there. Recent threats from Iran to close off the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth through which a third of all oil traded by sea passes, have raised concerns. The looming threats to regional security could be seen just hours earlier in the attack on Abha. The Houthis said they launched a cruise missile at the Saudi airport while the kingdom said 26 people were hurt. At least one Yemeni and one Indian national were among those injured in the attack, which al-Turki said struck the airport’s arrivals hall between 2am and 3am. Though there were no fatalities, it was the largest number of civilians to be wounded in Saudi Arabia as a result of an attack by the rebels since the start of the Saudi-led war in Yemen more than four years ago. Iran’s nuclear deal, reached in 2015 by China, Russia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the US, saw Tehran agree to limit its enrichment of uranium in exchange for the lifting of crippling sanctions. Western powers feared Iran’s atomic programme could allow it to build nuclear weapons, although Iran long has insisted its programme was for peaceful purposes. Already, Iran says it quadrupled its production of low-enriched uranium. Meanwhile, US sanctions have cut off opportunities for Iran to trade its excess uranium and heavy water abroad, putting Tehran on course to violate terms of the nuclear deal regardless.

Former army lawyer in court over media leak By ROD McGUIRK AP
A former Australian army lawyer charged with leaking secret documents to journalists said yesterday his prosecution was not about protecting national security but concealing “a national shame”. David William McBride, 55, made his first appearance in the Australian Capital Territory Supreme Court yesterday on charges relating to the leaking of classified documents about Australian Special Air Service involvement in Afghanistan to Australian Broadcasting Corp journalists. The leak was the target of a police raid on ABC headquarters in Sydney last week. Police raided the Canberra home of a News Corp reporter a day earlier in search for unrelated classified documents. The raids have been criticised as an attempt to intimidate media and have sparked complaints that the dozens of national security laws Australian governments have passed
David William McBride since the September 11, 2001, terror attacks in the United States have undermined press freedom. McBride represented himself during his brief court appearance and was released on bail to appear in court on June 27. Prosecution lawyers lodged an 11-page application for classified parts of the evidence to be heard in closed court. McBride admits to leaking documents that formed part of the basis of an ABC investigation broadcast in 2017 about Australian special forces in Afghanistan. The ABC reported growing unease in the Austral-
ian Defense Force leadership about the culture of special forces and that Australian troops had killed unarmed men and children. But McBride has pleaded not guilty to all charges. He told reporters outside court he had a duty as an army officer to expose wrongdoing by generals and government ministers over Australian operations in Afghanistan. “A lot of what they say is national security is actually a national shame,” McBride said outside court. “I have no doubt, once I’m acquitted, that the media and the world will hear about what went on because the reality is that none of it is truly national security,” he added. McBride said while he had been charged in September last year, the prosecution had yet to provide him with a brief of evidence because they did not have a case against hm. If convicted, he said he faced a potential 60-year prison sentence. The veteran of two tours of
duty to Afghanistan declined to elaborate on what had happened on the Afghan mountain in 2013 that he wanted to expose. “I’m not going to go into all the details, but what I saw appalled me,” McBride said. “I’ve been to the killing fields of Rwanda, I’ve been to Afghanistan under the Taliban. What I saw in the Australian government in 2013 and the leadership of the ADF (Australian Defense Force) was worse than anything I’d ever seen in my life. “It was disgusting and once every Australian hears about it and understands the implications, you would be ... absolutely sickened. You would be ashamed to be an Australian.” McBride described safeguards for whistleblowers in Australia as “a joke: There’s no such thing”. Australian Federal Court Justice John Griffiths recently described federal laws protecting whistleblowers as “impenetrable, technical, obtuse and intractable”.
Kidman in cat fight Call it a feline fashion faux pas but cat lovers have got their claws out for Nicole Kidman. The cause of this kitty criticism? Kidman’s odd habit of putting her cats in a backpack and taking them out for a hike with her. Kidman likes taking her two cats Ginger and Snow out with her while walking in the wilderness. The self proclaimed “cat girl” bundles them in her backpack and hits the hills. “I’ve got one of those carriers. A cat carrier that’s a backpack and it has a window that they can peek out of and it’s got air and everything and they love it.” Air is a good feature for a cat carrier to have but her hiking habit has come under fire from various pro-cat organisations.
Frozen 2 trailer drops Because we still can’t ever errrr, let it go, the trailer for Frozen 2 has dropped – and it’s amazing. It’s grand, it’s breathtaking and it tells us absolutely nothing. Our favourites, Elsa and Anna, are back and in new gowns. (Parents everywhere rejoice that they can get their kids different Frozen costumes.) What we can garner is that Anna and Elsa travel into the unknown up North, past the borders of Arendelle, when their kingdom is once again in danger. The story is being kept under lock and key at Disney, but what we can gain is the answer to why Elsa has her powers “is calling her and threatening her kingdom”.
Ariana’s generous donation Ariana Grande has donated proceeds from her sold out Atlanta concert to Planned Parenthood one month after the state of Georgia passed the ‘fetal heartbeat’ abortion law. The non-profit organisation that provides reproductive health care in the United States and globally will receive $US300,000 according to a report. Several production companies have decided to stop filming in the state, other entertainment entities have called for a boycott due to the new state restrictions. Under the new law, abortion will only be allowed, ‘to avoid a serious health risk to the unborn child’s mother,’ or if the ‘unborn child has a lethal anomaly,’ according to CNN.

Buying from
a private seller
Private sales account for around 10 per cent of property transactions in New Zealand – most sellers seem to prefer getting a licensed real estate agent to do the heavy lifting. That means it can be a bit unnerving if you’re keen on buying a property if there’s no agent to deal with. How do you know what to do? Kevin Lampen-Smith, chief executive of the Real Estate Authority (REA), says buying privately requires the same amount of due diligence as buying through a real estate agent. “At REA we strongly recommend everyone seeks legal advice before making an offer on a property, whether it is being sold by a licensed real estate agent or privately,” he says. “Without an agent in the process you will need to do more work yourself. In a private sale, legal advice and support is crucial. Get your lawyer onboard early and they can help you through the process.” Lampen-Smith says the first thing to do is to ask the seller for information about the property. “Remember a seller isn’t required under a Code of Conduct to be ethical so the onus is on you to do your due

the neighbourhood that could have an impact on your future enjoyment of it. “You should be aware that a private seller must tell you about any known issues with a property,” Lampen-Smith says. “If you have doubts about their truthfulness, talk to your lawyer before taking any further action.” Buying privately means you will not be covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act or the Fair Trading Act (unless you are buying from a person or entity that is in the business of trading properties). “You cannot get any help from REA if you have any issues with a private seller, all we can do is help you understand the process,” LampenSmith says. “However, you may still be protected by the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017. Your lawyer will be able to help you navigate the rules here.” If you’re not sure how much to offer on the property, Lampen-Smith says it can be helpful to get a valuation from a registered valuer. “For a cheaper, but less reliable alternative to paying for a valuation, you could check out online estimated

diligence well, with your team of experts. “If the seller provides a recent Land Information Memorandum (LIM) report and title deed, get your lawyer to examine these thoroughly. Ask about anything that looks like a red flag.” REA’s Property Checker (https:// www.settled.govt.nz/buying-a-home/ researching-the-property/propertychecker/) can help you work out what questions to ask. For example, if the property is in a flood-prone area, ask about how it has fared in recent incidents (if you don’t know the area well, a Google search can be helpful here). Ask if the house has been subject to any EQC claims and, if so, request evidence of any recommended remedial works. Ask too if there are any planned property or roading developments in

valuations of comparable properties in the area. Discuss your plans with your lawyer and your lender before talking any figures with the seller. One bonus of a private sale is that they may be more willing to negotiate on price because they don’t have to pay any commission to a real estate agent.” When it comes to making your offer, you can put in as many conditions as you like (just as you would in a sale through a real estate agent). “Bear in mind though, that the seller can do this too,” Lampen-Smith says. “In a private sale, the buyer’s lawyer usually draws up the sale and purchase agreement. Make sure you fully understand the conditions of your offer and that it contains all the standard obligations and responsibilities for both parties,” he says. “A private sale is nothing to be afraid of as long as you do all the necessary homework and work very closely with your lawyer and the seller to achieve an outcome that everyone is happy with.” For independent guidance and information on buying or selling, check out settled.govt.nz.

Flower gardens tend to look a little dull at this time of the year. But there are some plants that thrive once your summer annuals pass their best. Ornamental kale–an annual grown for its pretty waved leaves and bright winter colours–is the perfect plant to insert some liveliness into your garden right now. Ornamental kale grows in large, low rosettes, like prizes in your garden. It’s a compact plant that closely resembles a cabbage. While you can eat it, it’s mostly grown for its colourful leaves. But if you’re really keen on tasting it, you’ll find ornamental kale has a very bitter taste. What I like about this type of kale is that it’s bold, striking and, (best of all) requires little care in your garden.
And, once established this fun kale can deliver a good few months of colour to your winter garden. There are a variety of ornamental kales around. Most have symmetrical green outer leaves and purple rosey or creamy white centres. Some have wider cabbage–like leaves, others tight frilly
edges - similar to endive lettuce The most popular type is pigeon kale. It comes in both purple and white varieties and has a true rosette appearance. Ideal for garden pots, borders and edging, you might have seen ornamental kale before in large beds of town gardens or in the middle of traffic islands. When you plant ornamental kale seedlings en mass (about 20cm apart) they develop a lovely packed-in feel – really carpeting a garden. Once you’ve got your seedlings, find a sunny well-drained spot in your garden. Dig holes around 5cm deep, 20cm apart and gently place the seedlings in. Lightly massage the root systems to loosen them up. If you’re not

sure what to plant alongside your kale, ornamental grasses (carex) are an ideal easy-care companion. The more sun your kale gets, the brighter the colours you’ll be rewarded with. But don’t think about planting them out too early. Ornamental kale is a true winter plant that needs the cooler night temperatures to thrive. Once planted, give an initial feed of liquid fertiliser. But after this, just stick to water. Too much fertiliser can cause the plant to grow an elongated stem under the rosette, which will detract from its pretty, compact appearance. In around six weeks you’ll start to see colourful kale developing in your garden beds. Happy gardening.

olden has every right to be proud of the Colorado range which has had arguably the biggest mid-life production cycle enhancement yet in the history of GM products. Judging by the positive feedback from motoring media who have driven this model, Kiwi motorists should be very happy with this rugged workhorse. Key features are substantial developments in relation to technology and interior appointments, a greater range of accessories and advancements in ride and handling. Holden engineers in Australia worked collaboratively with their counterparts from GM Brazil and GM Thailand when this model was first introduced, and improved refinement and driveability with a range of chassis changes, including electric power steering and engine and transmission noise and vibration refinements. The interior is incredibly car-like and offers great connectivity via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Driving a ute is no longer a compromise, in the case of the Colorado it offers the best of both worlds in terms of sheer grunt, load carrying and towing ability, coupled with refinement levels more often
found in a passenger vehicle. With a striking design, advanced connectivity features and refined driving characteristics, the improved Colorado is already proving to be very popular in the Mid Canterbury region. Colorado has resonated well with customers in a segment that has more than
doubled in sales in the past 10 years, and Holden is confident the Colorado will build on this and redefine customer expectations. There is a forward-facing camera with active safety features such as forward collision alert as well as lane departure warning.
For low speed manoeuvres, drivers are assisted by front and rear park assist on selected vehicles and there is a rear-view camera across the range. Inside there is the Holden MyLink infotainment system equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity delivered through a colour touchscreen housed in the Colorado’s centre stack. The infotainment system also offers Digital (DAB+) radio, embedded satellite navigation and voice recognition. It is the only vehicle in the segment to offer remote window activation, which Holden says will be appreciated by users in hot climates as found in Australia and New Zealand. Holden also provides more genuine accessories for the Colorado including: Bull bars, safari bar, bash plates, extended rail sports bars, steel rear step, tubular steel side steps, LED driving lights, fender flares, nudge bar, snorkel, 18-inch alloy wheels, and all terrain tyres. The Colorado is a key vehicle in Holden’s future product portfolio and its new styling, improved driveability and technology content are sure to be a hit with customers.

Super as it gets
W
hen it hit showrooms in 2011, the Lexus LFA made an immediate impression. Here was a supercar from a brand best known (at the time, anyway) for cars that would clog parking lots at golf clubs and rest homes. Yet, it landed to incredible reception from critics. Most famously, Jeremy Clarkson – you may have heard of him – claimed it was the best car he had ever driven. Not one of the best ... the best. “If someone were to offer me the choice of any car that had ever been made ever, I would like a dark blue Lexus LFA,” is the quote. There are many elements of the LFA that made it a little bit special. The 1LR-GUE naturally aspirated V10 engine didn’t make enormous power (412kW, 480Nm) but it did make one of the
best sounds in motoring. The cabin, like most Lexus cabins today, was a weird handmade sci-fi treat filled with odd shapes and futuristic displays. And, there was the well publicised fact that Lexus lost money on all 500 LFAs. It was a true passion project. If that all sounds like a bit of you, then good news — there’s one for sale in New Zealand. The catch? It’s priced at $995,000. Trade in Warehouse in Christchurch have the car listed for sale. They state that it’s the only Lexus LFA in New Zealand, and one of only 140 built in right-hand drive. It landed five years ago with only 129 delivery kilometres on the clock and “plastic delivery films still intact on every surface”. Since that delivery, this LFA has done more than 5000km. But, that may still be classed as low kilometres to a collector.

True essence of motorcycling
A
gainst the backdrop of a bustling mix of the traditional and the modern on show at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, BMW Motorrad presented an engaging alternative for a time that is being increasingly characterised by rapid technological change. You could see it as a return to the brand’s core, but given a modern twist: the BMW Motorrad Concept R18 transports the essence of the big BMW Motorrad classics into the modern age, or in other words, it is taking a historical motorcycle design and giving it a modern, custom attitude. The BMW Motorrad Concept R18 shows how a forward projection of a 1960s boxer engine could look like today as a purist custom bike in combination with all the classic design icons of BMW Motorrad design. The BMW Motorrad Concept R18 is the essence of motorcycling, a bike in its original, natural form. In true custom style, it celebrates the art of leaving out what you don’t need and then concentrating on what is left. The BMW Motorrad Concept R18 is immediately recognisable as a genuine BMW: boxer engine, cradle frame, exposed universal shaft and drop-shaped fuel tank with its black paintwork and hand-applied contrast lines interpret typical design icons of BMW Motorrad classics, while displaying confidence along with modern-style linearity. The balanced proportions are reminiscent of classics like the BMW R5, and convey – even from a distance – the timeless beauty that comes about whenever things are consistently reduced to their bare essentials.

his week Audi unveiled its highly anticipated newcomer to the market at the exclusive Audi e-tron launch event in Auckland’s Morningside. In front of over 160 invited guests, three left-hand drive models were revealed showcasing the brand’s first, all electric vehicle. Set to revolutionise the electric vehicle category in New Zealand, the Audi e-tron combines the latest in electric innovation and Audi performance. The new Audi e-tron redefines electric drive with its large high-voltage battery, the foundation for obliterating range anxiety. Offering a comprehensive and reliable array of charging options for at home or on the go, the standard mobile charging system can be used with either a 230-volt household outlet or a 400 volt three-phase outlet. The smart home energy management system offers intelligent solutions such as charging when electricity is less expensive, epitomising electric innovation. The launch of the zero CO2 emissions model powered by New Zealand’s eighty-five per cent renewable energy resources, re-inforces the future of the premium-electric auto market in New Zealand. Audi New Zealand, General Manager, Dean Sheed, says, “Since we announced that the Audi e-tron was coming to the New Zealand market, interest and demand has been high. Over the coming weeks, New Zealanders across the country will be able to test drive the cars and experience the next generation in electric innovation. ” Quiet, powerful and exceptionally efficient, the sporty SUV translates the brand’s fundamental design language into a fully electric vehicle. Audi e-tron fuses the space and comfort of a typical luxury-class automobile with a range suitable for everyday use, catapulting the driver into a new era. Two electric motors with peak electrical output with boost of 300kW launch from 0 to 100km/h in 5.7 seconds. Combining sportiness and practicality, the new electric all-wheel drive system provides optimal traction and agile handling in all driving situations, delivering the next level in Kiwi Performance.

Sporty, with style and comfort
T
here’s a definite hint of the family connection to the impressive Stinger with the exterior looks of Kia’s new Cerato range. Particularly so with the long bonnet, stretched roofline and detailing. Performance-wise too, for the topof-the-range GT hatchback has a lively 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine, dual-clutch 7-speed auto, multi-link rear suspension,18-inch alloys and larger brakes, all of which injects a dash of verve to its practicality. This latest Cerato line-up includes fivedoor hatchbacks in entry level LX, mid range EX, GT Line and the said GT together with LX and EX four-door sedans. Of course SUVs (along with utes) are the current market favourites and Kia has a strong SUV line-up led by the popular Sportage range. While the Sportage is Kia NZ’s best-seller (and currently sitting second overall in the MIA’s new cars/SUV category for the year to date), there are still those who appreciate driving cars rather than SUVs. Hence this new six-model Cerato range, all of which come with a very impressive array of the latest in safety technology. This includes autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist recognition, adaptive cruise control, driver attention alert, lane keep assist, rear traffic alert, rear view camera with front and rear parking sensors and more. Plus excellent LED headlights for the GT Line and GT. All of which, along with their stronger bodies, earns them five star ratings for the 2019 ANCAP testing. I have been driving a GT Line with a GT to follow in August. But just what is a GT Line you may well ask?
Roger Hart ROAD TEST
Well, it replaces (as has been the case with some other recent models in the Kia range) the Limited version. While it doesn’t feature the GT’s turbo engine and those other performance additions, it looks very much like one. Within the contemporary/thoroughly modern looking and feeling now larger cabin, there’s also hints of the Stinger, with an abundance of high-tech details, functionality and soft-touch surfaces, plus a D-shaped steering wheel enhances the sporty driving feel. All models have smart keys with engine stop/start button plus an 8-inch touchscreen. The latter in the GT Line (and GT) has both colour and satnav (this in LX and EX needs to be accessed via Apple CarPlay/ Android Auto). There’s plenty of USB points and wireless phone charging in the GT Line. Because of the larger cabin space there’s more leg, shoulder and head space both front and rear. Leather furnishings feature on all except the LX while the GT Line’s (as are the GT’s) sporty, supportive front seats, complete with both heating and ventilation are embossed with their designations. As well luggage space is impressive with the hatch’s boot holding 428 litres. Folding the 60:40 split-fold rear seat
backs increases this to 1335 litres and there’s a full-size, matching spare wheel as well! The GT Line, as does the LX and EX comes with the familiar 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine, delivering 112kW of power and 192Nm of torque. It’s paired up with a 6-speed sequential shift auto and delivers smooth and unfussed performance. You generally don’t have to work it hard, except when asking for quickest possible acceleration or encountering steep hills. You can to a certain extent, tailor the car’s responses through selecting one of the four different drive modes available. Three of these (either Eco, Smart or Comfort) are selected by pressing a button. The fourth, Sport, which quickens the engine’s responses and holds on to gears longer, is chosen by shifting the gear selector to the right. I found that Smart mode, which shifts between Comfort, Eco or Sport depending on both the driver and driving conditions lived up to its name, so reserved the dedicated Sport for the hilly bits. The combination of the stronger new body, the upgraded suspension ( McPherson strut front and semi-independent beam rear axle) that has been fine tuned in OZ to suit ANZAC driving conditions and the new steering system with improved feel and feedback, delivered a ride, roadholding and handling package with a reassuredly accomplished feel, one that is in keeping with the sporty looks. The new body stiffness also plays a major role in reducing noise, vibration and harshness for a quiet cabin and ride. The claimed combined fuel use figure is 7.4L/100km and you may expect to achieve close to, or better than this on the likes of a return trip to Christchurch.
KIA CERATO GT LINE ■■ Pricing: $39,900. Others - LX (4-door & 5-door) $31,990, EX (4-door & 5-door): $35,990, GT (5-door): $41,990 (all plus ORCs) ■■ Engine: 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol, 112kW@6200rpm and 192Nm@4000rpm. ■■ Transmission: Six speed auto.

FINALE For those who still prefer and appreciate driving a compact car rather than a compact SUV, this GT Line Cerato comes up with an enticing blend of sporty style, refined comfort, the latest in driver assistance technologies and safety. Then, should you want more sporty performance and handling, the GT costs just $2000 more!

■■CANNABIS CLASHES
In brief
Legal battle ‘out of hand’ NZME Entrepreneurs in the New Zealand cannabis scene have become involved in an ugly legal dispute that has seen accusations fly from both ends. Mark Scapens and Murray McBride, the founders of cannabis company Eqalis Group, are considering legal action against prolific cannabis entrepreneur Ross Smith for alleged defamatory statements made in a series of emails. “Our clients believe that Ross has made the statements to you and others with the sole and willful purpose of bringing our clients’ reputations into disrepute and to that end causing as much damage as possible to Eqalis’ goodwill, reputation and business,” said legal counsel Kirsten Murfitt, acting on behalf of McBride and Scapens. Murfitt told the Herald that Smith had been given until 5pm on June 7 to retract his statements, but he had failed to do so. In addition to the civil defam-
atory action, the Herald also understands that another Tauranga businessperson has also lodged a complaint under the Harmful Digital Communications Act in response to alleged online comments made by Smith. Previous members of Medicann have also been in touch with the Police regarding the issue. A separate source has since also confirmed to the Herald that the police are looking into the matter. Smith told the Herald that the police had not yet been in touch

A woman who tried to buy a home through Kiwibuild but was turned down for a mortgage says the way it is marketed gives “false hope” to first-home buyers and does not place enough weight on how hard it is to get a mortgage. Kiwibuild has come under fire from financial experts this week for normalising high debt and giving first home buyers an unrealistic sense of security by focusing on low interest rates. The government has defended itself by saying the $500,000 home-loan figure it used and the example of how much people could save with lower interest rates were designed to be illustrative only. - NZME
New wave of scooters Ridesharing giant Uber will on Tuesday launch its e-scooters in New Zealand. About 400 Jump by Uber electric scooters will be rolled out in Wellington next week, marking the company’s first launch city in the Asia-Pacific region ahead of its debut in Australia later in the year. The scooters will cost $1 to unlock then 30 per cents per minute – the same price as the other participant in Wellington’s trial, Flamingo. Scooter giant Lime was shunned for the Wellington trial. - NZME

with him. Offences under the Harmful Digital Communications Act are punishable by up to two years’ imprisonment or a maximum fine of $50,000. The animosity between Smith and Eqalis Group arises from last year’s liquidation of Tauranga-based cannabis firm Medicann. Smith co-founded Medicann with businessman Brendon Ogilvy, who served as CEO before later becoming CEO of Eqalis. The collapse of the company led to a bitter exchange of words
between Ogilvy and Smith about what went wrong. Investors put around $1.4 million into the company before it went under. The first liquidator’s report showed that current-year losses for the business sat at $808,000. This left the business with a surplus of $616,141. The original liquidator’s report shows the company owed $43,171 to secured creditors and $3325 to unsecured creditors. Given the divide between the parties, the matter was handed over to the High Court to determine the facts of the matter. The second report released in May confirmed that the liquidators are awaiting the results of the court action before the liquidation can be completed. While this has been ongoing, Smith has levelled numerous accusations at Ogilvy and Eqalis Group regarding the nature of their business. “Things are now getting out of hand,” Smith told the Herald in an email.

Milk producers give market a nudge
T
he local market has climbed higher this week. Milk producers The a2 Milk Company and Synlait pushed the market forward, rebounding from their respective recent issues. At the time of writing, the index is up 1.6 per cent for the week. 3.7 per cent for the quarter, and 13.7 per cent in the last 52 weeks. New Zealand net migration remains strong in the year to April. Statistics New Zealand have estimated that there was a net population gain of 55,834 people in the 12 months to the end of April 2019. The result is trending toward the April peak year of 2016, where there was a net population gain of 62,508 people. The 2019 result was largely driven by a surge of long-term residents. In the 12 months to April there were 150,974 long-term arrivals in comparison to 95,141 long-term departures. The Labour market in Australia remains tight. The Australian economy added 28,400 jobs in May, outstripping consensus forecasts. Although the increase in jobs was not enough to move the dial on the unemployment rate, which has remained steady in May at 5.2 per cent. The participation rate raised 0.1 per cent in May to a record level of 66 per cent. Data from the National Bank of Australia’s (NAB) business survey highlighted a further decline in business conditions. The most notable sector decline came from retail, with the NAB survey noting that conditions

across the sector were decreasing steadily and were now at the same levels as they were during the financial crisis. On the other hand NAB’s business confidence survey data spiked in May. The bounce in optimism is most likely a result of the surprise Federal election result in which the Coalition party was re-elected as well as the anticipation of interest rate cuts (the RBA cut interest rates from 1.50 per cent to 1.25 per cent on June 4). China’s consumer inflation rose to its highest point in 15 months, climbing 2.7 per cent in May from a year ago. Pork prices in China have risen 18.2 per cent from a year ago as swine flu effects decreased supply and fresh food prices soared as weather conditions made production difficult. Japan’s revised growth figures highlight larger than expected growth. Revised figures show that Japan’s gross domestic product grew at an annualised rate of 2.2 per cent in the first three months of 2019, an acceleration from the 1.8 per cent growth in the last quarter of 2018. US consumer prices barely moved in May, rising 0.1 per cent for the month. In the 12 months to May the CPI
increased 1.8 per cent, which was slower than April’s year to date gain of 1.9 per cent. Globally, investors were offered some respite from the recent trade tensions. On Sunday, the Trump administration announced that it would not impose tariffs on Mexican goods going to the US. Although, the stoush between the US and China continues to remain at a relative standpoint. The crucial next event will be the G-20 summit later in the month. Currently the US has imposed $250 billion worth of tariffs on Chinese goods, with a decision on whether to implement tariffs on a further $300 billion worth of Chinese goods to be decided after the G-20 meeting. Britain’s overall economy shrank 0.4 per cent in April, after a 0.1 per cent decline in March. The April decline was the biggest monthly drop since March 2016. The fall in economic output was relatively minuscule in comparison to the UK’s manufacturing sector, which fell by 3.9 per cent for the month in April being, the largest decline since July 2002. A key aspect of this fall was car production, which fell 24 per cent in April as major manufacturers such as BMW and Rolls-Royce shut their plants for the entirety of the month amidst the confusion and delayed exit of Britain from the European Union.

■■U MAY CULLECT
All-Stars in their sights By Michael Guerin Kirstin Barclay isn’t scared of the challenges that lay ahead of Southland sensation U May Cullect. Because that way she looks at it, if taking on the best horses and trainers in the country doesn’t excite her, she is in the wrong job. Barclay is the co-trainer and driver of unbeaten pacer U May Cullect, who is very good and might even be very special. He faces the biggest challenge so far of his six-start career in the $40,000 Uncut Gems Male Pace at Addington tonight, up against genuine open class horses in Classic Brigade and Triple Eight. The Uncut Gems are for horses who haven’t won a race worth more than $55,000 and didn’t run top three in the recent Jewels. With better legs, U May Cullect would be ineligible by now. He only started racing this season as a five-year-old because he had damaged the tendon in his near-side leg twice as a younger horse. When he did finally make it to the races this season the shock value was instantaneous, with his six wins having come with an average five-length margin. While his margins and times, including a 1:52.1 mile at his second start, are those of a good horse, his explosive speed and the same pacing action that made his sire Gotta Go Cullect one of the best juveniles of his era are what set him apart from the other open class pretenders. Already a rating90 horse U May Cullect is as good as qualified for the New Zealand Cup, which would be a dream come true for Barclay, who trains him with Paul “Tank” Ellis. But the road to the New Zealand Cup, or any other serious open class races next season, leads through the pacing might of the All Stars stables, led by Spankem, Turn It Up and defending Cup hero Thefixer. Barclay is unfazed. “We know just how good these top horses are and how good

In brief Memsie pencilled in Rondinella is set to kick off her spring campaign in the $1 million New Zealand Bloodstock Memsie Stakes at Caulfield on September 1, Cambridge trainer Robert Wellwood has revealed. Placed in the Gr.1 New Zealand Stakes at Ellerslie and the Gr.1 Tancred Stakes at Randwick before finishing fourth in the Gr.1 Sydney Cup (3200m) during the autumn, Rondinella has returned to training with Wellwood and his training partner Roger James. “She’s back and she looks great,” Wellwood said. - NZME
Second Hong Kong win New Zealand Bloodstock graduate Mega Heart secured his second win in Hong Kong on Wednesday when victorious in the Hoi Mei Handicap at Sha Tin. Trainer Michael Chang was confident with the gelding and was pleased with the result. “I expected him to run a good race,” he said. “At the start of the season he carried big weights and was only beaten two or three lengths and now he’s dropped down the handicap. I thought the dirt track would suit him, and, off a fast pace, he was always going to be coming at them in the finish.” - NZME
Trans-Tasman targets
Kirstin Barclay and U May Cullect test themselves against some very good horses tonight. trainers Mark and Natalie are,” she offers. “But if you aren’t excited by taking them on then I think you are in the wrong game. “That is what we want to do, go up against the best and see how we go. “I am not saying we will beat their best horses, but there is only one way to find out. “So if he holds together and we are lucky enough to be in a race like the Cup I’d be excited about it, not scared of them.” While beating the absolute elite is a far cry from beating up on Southland’s next best, some of the horses U May Cullect meets over the 2600m mobile tonight would not be out of place in a New Zealand Cup, so if he beats them easily the hype machine
will change gear. While U May Cullect was too old to contest the Jewels, it would have been an fascinating drag race up the Addington straight had he sat on Turn It Up’s back on Jewels day, particularly as the Auckland Cup winner understandably wasn’t as sharp as earlier in the season. Barclay admits as exciting as her new equine toy is “he is amazing to drive at full speed” she tries not get carried away with what the future holds. “For me it is a big deal to be going to Addington with a really good horse who we think can win. This week’s race is a big deal for us and I’ll be a bit nervous. “Before he won with him there in April I had only ever won one
race at Addington before.” That was 17 years ago, so Barclay is entering foreign territory, but at least she is doing so with an owner who backs her, a canny training partner she trusts and U May Cullect, who is as weird as he is fast. “Yep, he is a bit of a weirdo,” she admits. “He spends most of his time being worked at the beach and he doesn’t really like people fussing over him. “He is a bit of a loner. “But he is lovely to work with and every time we find a new challenge for him he loves it.” Challenges don’t come much bigger in harness racing than the second Tuesday in November at Addington. Barclay won’t shy away.
Kingsclere Stables will traverse the Tasman tomorrow as Hypnos continues his campaign in Melbourne, while Killarney, Hanger and newcomer Even Chance compete at Ruakaka. Roger James is in Melbourne as Gr.1 Levin Classic (1600m) runner-up Hypnos prepares for Saturday’s Ladbrokes Odds Boost Handicap (1600m) at Sandown, while training partner Robert Wellwood is charged with applying the finishing polish to the Ruakaka team. - NZME
Turn It Up’s season over Superstar pacer Turn It Up is out of the New Zealand Cup and Auckland Inter Dominions and almost certain not to race again this year. The Auckland Cup, Easter Cup and Harness Jewels winner has undergone an operation to remove cartilage damage in both his front legs, an issue which may have been bothering him in the second half of this season. While trainer Mark Purdon says the prognosis is good for a full recovery, it rules him out of the biggest races of the domestic season. - HRNZ

Mudhoo notches up a century of race wins NZME
Krishna Mudhoo
Canterbury jockey Krishna Mudhoo kicked off his senior riding career in style at Waimate on Sunday, securing his 100th win when riding home Red Rose Warrior for trainer Neill Ridley. Mudhoo was excited to have reached the milestone, but admitted to being a bit disappointed he wasn’t able to reach it as an apprentice. “It was pretty good to get my 100th win on Sunday,” he said. “I wasn’t actually aware I was approaching it.
“My riding master, Mr (David) Walsh, told me after the race that it was my 100th winner. “It was a bit of a disappointment that I couldn’t reach 100 wins while still an apprentice, but never mind, it was good to achieve it on my first day riding as a senior jockey. The Mauritius-born rider came to New Zealand in 2014 to work for John And Karen Parsons on the behest of good friend and fellow jockey Gosen Jogoo, but didn’t originally have any intentions of riding on raceday. “I came over here as a track rider,” he said.
“One of my friends, Gosen Jogoo, got me a job over here. “From there I was working for the Parsons and one day they were short of riders, so they asked me to ride at the trials, and it’s just gone from there.” In his five seasons of riding, Mudhoo said the the Jo-Ann Gordon-trained The Gordonian has given him his biggest moments in racing, including his sole stakes victory to date in the Listed Riverton Cup (2147m) last year. “Winning on The Gordonian in the Winter Classic was a highlight, and I’ve also won a few cups, in-
cluding the Riverton Cup with The Gordonian.” Mudhoo became interested in racing as a child and that passion was passed down to younger brother Rohan who has also moved to New Zealand to be a jockey. “There were horses where I was living, so I always wanted to ride them,” he said. “I got a bit of work and then started riding. “I was riding track work there before I moved to New Zealand five years ago.” Mudhoo is set to ride in four races at Phar Lap Raceway today and has highlighted Celine and Double Down as his best chances of the day.

■■RUGBY
■■RUGBY
Barrett a major prize By Patrick McKendry Say what you like about the Blues, and I’m going to, although probably not as succinctly as Sonny Bill Williams did after training yesterday, but for them to still be in the race to pinch Beauden Barrett from the Hurricanes suggests they at least have ambition, not to mention resilience. It will have also put the wind up their rivals from Wellington before they meet on the Westpac Stadium pitch tomorrow, although the man in question will not be playing and neither will his brother, Jordie, an absence that will deny viewers a certain extra frisson. The Hurricanes would have been fearful of Barrett heading overseas once his New Zealand Rugby contract expires at the end of this year, but the thought of him travelling instead to their rivals up State Highway 1 will fill them with horror, because in that case there will be many more questions about what they could have done to retain him, along with the potential damage he could do for his new team against them. Barrett hasn’t signed yet, apparently, and doesn’t want to announce anything until after the season, which will increase the excitement levels of Blues’ supporters and also the franchise’s coaches, staff and management, while sending the anxiety quotient of the Hurricanes in a similar direction. It’s probably not pushing the boat out too much to suggest if Barrett was staying at the Hurricanes he would announce it sooner rather than later; the alternative – the revealing of a shift north – would be a huge distraction for a team guaranteed a home quarter-final next weekend. We’ve been down this road
Never say never, says Sonny Bill NZME
Beauden Barrett may well be heading on a journey up State Highway 1 next year. many times with the Blues, of course. They’ve chased Barrett hard previously and he’s turned them down, preferring to stay at a place he’s been at since 2011. It also brings back memories of the Blues’ courting of Dan Carter from the Crusaders in 2009. They really thought they’d got him, but Carter decided to stay. Will this time be different? At a guess I’d say the odds are stacked more in the Blues’ favour this time – at any rate the source behind the story which the Herald broke yesterday suggested it was on big time and others have corroborated that. Just about everyone knows the Blues won’t win another Super Rugby title until they have a quality first-five. Stephen Perofeta hasn’t played
a single competition match for them this season after badly hurting a chest muscle in a pre-season match and while Otere Black and Harry Plummer have shown some glimpses, neither is the answer in the short term. Black hasn’t kicked on but Plummer, only 20, has potential and could possibly move a place out to second-five. If Barrett does sign with the Blues, he won’t arrive until the 2021 season due to a sabbatical clause. Perofeta, 22, will probably start next season as the Blues’ top prospect but he is still young enough to benefit from Barrett’s direction a year later because the 28-year-old remains the world’s premier playmaker and, if that winds up all the Richie Mo’unga support-
ers, then Barrett is at the very least one of the most experienced. He would add much-needed direction and confidence to the players around him and would send a signal that the Blues are a team worth joining and that they’re a franchise determined to break free from the Groundhog Day loop. That Williams’ quote mentioned earlier? It pretty much sums them up again this year. “It’s that old saying; glass half empty or glass half full – and there are Blues supporters who might think there’s no water in there at all,” he said. “But look at our results – if we had won at the weekend we could have been the top eight or top six. “It’s the story of our season.”
Super Rugby on the horizon for Gatland NZME Warren Gatland wants a Super Rugby coaching job in 2022. Gatland, confirmed yesterday as the British and Irish Lions coach for the 2021 tour of South Africa, will quit as the Wales boss after this year’s World Cup. He told the BBC he has no interest in coaching England. “I can promise you 100 per cent I won’t be coaching England,” the 55-year-old former All Black said. “My understanding is Eddie [Jones] is going to re-sign for a bit longer. “My future is going to be the 2019 World Cup [with Wales], look at a few things in between, and then the start of my [Lions] role in August 2020. “I’ll focus 100 per cent on the Lions for those 12 months and then hopefully have an opportunity to go back to New Zealand
and pick up something and then take it from there. “I would love to be involved with Super Rugby and to challenge myself with that. “I want to go back. “I have been head coach with Waikato and won a championship there, and I want to challenge myself with Super Rugby.” Gatland has been coaching in the north for nearly three decades. He initially appeared reluctant to continue his successful Lions reign claiming he was hurt by an “orchestrated campaign” of criticism by the New Zealand media in 2017. “When I thought about what the Lions meant to me personally, it would have been hard to say no,” he said. “The approach came and I thought to lead three Lions tours and to try and go undefeated as a head coach in a test series, I couldn’t walk away from that.”
Warren Gatland has Super Rugby in his sights.
Sonny Bill Williams will run on to Westpac Stadium tomorrow for what will almost certainly be his final Super Rugby game for the Blues or any other New Zealand franchise with a mindset that he has had for more than a decade since a doctor told him a knee injury would severely limit his playing career. Live for the moment, seize the day, call it what you want, but a determination to continually better himself and make the most of his talents has played a big part in Williams’ life and the 33-year-old credits that diagnosis as a 22-yearold as being a game-changer for him. His days really are just about numbered due to the toll professional sport has taken on his body but he at least gets to start for the Blues one last time and potentially go out on his own terms. “When you spend time on the sidelines you do spend a lot of time contemplating,” said Williams yesterday when facing up to his first match since round seven due to knee surgery. “When I was 22 – funny story – when I had my first knee injury the doctor at the time said I wouldn’t play past 24. I’m 29 now and still going.” The sense of fun remains too, of course, given he’s a bit older than 29. “The blessing in that was that from an early age I’ve thought this could be my last day, my last year, my last campaign. “How am I going to go? Let’s go. That hasn’t really changed.” Williams, yet to declare his intentions for next year and beyond, does have one slight regret, though. He would have preferred to have run out alongside his good mate and fellow midfielder Ma’a Nonu, but coach Leon MacDonald has elected to start Nonu on the reserves bench after a long and hard season. He’s another one who has yet to reveal what he is doing next year; the Blues are assuming neither Williams nor Nonu will come back. Williams said of Nonu: “He’s been great, all credit to him. He’s 37, has come back and hasn’t missed a beat. I’ve been close to Skux for a long time. I’ve always admired the way he goes about his business on the field. “It would have been nice to run out there with Skux another time but hopefully we’ll share some time on the field this weekend.” Asked if today’s run was his final big training session for the Blues, Williams said: “You never say never. Only god knows that bro, so I’m just really focused on this week and trying to get a win with the boys and get some rugby. “All options are open. “I’m still a pretty keen competitor – I still like what I do.”

■■BASKETBALL
Mixed results for hoopers It has been a busy seven days for ballers in Mid Canterbury, with some mixed results across the board. A tough night on the court was always going to be a possibility for the Ashburton College senior boys basketball side in their Thomson Trophy Clash with St Andrew’s College earlier this week, running the slick visiting side close, going down 92-79. STAC came out strong on the defensive end early and managed to get an early lead. However College were able to counter the defence as they found holes to score. College played man to man with a lot of aggression and once they settled after a slow start they generally made life tough for the STAC team and managed to take a 23-22 lead at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter STAC changed up their defensive shape and College struggled offensively as they couldn’t run their play with any efficiency whereas STAC managed to get the ball inside drawing fouls and going to the free throw line sinking nine points, giving them a 43-34 lead into the half. College started the third quarter well and got on a roll, drawing the score close. However STAC again managed to draw away, only for College to come back at them. Quinn Ritchie managed to ignite having a great quarter knocking down four 3-pointers in a 16 point quarter. Every time College came close STAC were just able to resettle themselves and they took out the 3rd quarter to lead 68-58. The fourth quarter was geared up to be a cracker as once again the College boys pushed hard to break down the lead. They got a roll and momentum was definitely theirs. College were six points adrift when Ritchie came down the court and launched a 3-pointer which hit nothing but net, and what was better he was fouled in the act. However, due to a subbing error, College had six players on the court and the three-pointer was
Despite getting in to foul trouble, Fotu Hala was a standout for the Ashburton College senior boys basketball side in their Thomson Trophy clash against St Andrew’s College. PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN cancelled and the foul removed, and a technical foul was given against College. The momentum shifted and STAC extended their lead, and College were then forced to foul to try and get the ball back, however STAC were excellent from the free throw line and ran out 92-79 winners. College again were led by Quinn Ritchie with 28 points (six 3 pointers) who was again was defensively excellent. Fotu Hala with 17 points was strong on the drive and again pulled down a heap of rebounds, while his brother Pasi Hala worked really hard on the boards
and scored 10 points and keeps getting better every game. In the Whelan Trophy the senior girls side took another step forward in development, also taking on St Andrew’s College. After a slow start in the first quarter, the College girls clawed bag the margin winning the second quarter 15-11 which flowed on to the end of the third, only trailing by six points. However, through some basic errors, they quickly let 10 points slip and let the margin get away from them, eventually going down 53-68. Scoring was balanced across the team, with top points shared
by Julie Mushonga and Sophie Adams (12) and Tessa Thomson adding eight. On Saturday in the Canterbury Division 1 competition, Mid Canterbury faced off against the Gators Green team. A fast start from Mid Canterbury allowed them to unsettle the Gators who were left snapped at their heels as they poured on the points on the fast breaks. Despite some indifferent finishing, Mid Canterbury took a 12-6 lead at the end of the 1st quarter. The second quarter started evenly, however three minutes in, things began to click for Mid
Canterbury, as the defence again reaped rewards, allowing the fast break to come into play. Within three minutes Gators Green was forced to call a timeout as Mid Canterbury had raced to a 30-13 lead. The game followed a similar pattern from that point, with Mid Canterbury running out 84-36 winners. Marc Juntilla was a standout in the dominant victory, scoring 36 points. Fotu Hala scored 12 points and Pip Johnston scored 10, however both were instrumental of constantly finding Juntilla on the fast break.
Tough task for Toronto Raptors at Oracle Arena AP There was a predictable sting that pained the Toronto Raptors after Game 5 of the NBA Finals. They were so close. And then they had to fly so far. Whatever they were feeling after Tuesday’s loss to Golden State is in the past, which is consistent with the way the Raptors have tried to handle their business throughout playoffs. Game 6 of the title series – one where the Raptors have outplayed the two-time defending champi-
on Warriors – is today, when Toronto will take a second shot at grabbing its first NBA title. “The moment is the moment, but we still are staying in it,” Raptors guard Kyle Lowry said. “We’re not too up, we’re not too down. We’re just, ‘One game, hey, we lost it.’ “Now we’ve got to move on to the next one.” The next one – the next chance to win the Larry O’Brien Trophy – has arrived. Golden State’s 106-105 victory in Game 5 sent the series back to
Oracle Arena, which the Raptors have basically turned into Jurassic Park West this season. The Raptors are 3-0 on the Warriors’ home floor, all three of those wins coming by double digits, two of them in this series. Today’s is the last NBA game that’ll be played at Oracle. The place will be rocking. The Raptors won’t mind whatsoever. “You’ve got to be a little more tough-minded on the road,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said. His team has been extremely
tough-minded, everywhere. Take away Golden State’s 18-0 run at Toronto to start the second half of Game 2 – a game where the Warriors still needed a final-seconds 3-pointer from Andre Iguodala to close the win out – and a 9-2 run to pull out a dramatic comeback victory for the champs in Game 5, also in Toronto, this series has largely been controlled by the Raptors. Not many probably expected that to be the case. Through five games, the Raptors have been outscored in only
four of the 20 quarters. They’ve won every fourth quarter, albeit by small margins. They’ve struggled guarding Klay Thompson but the rest of the Warriors, Stephen Curry included, are being held to 33 per cent from beyond the arc. And now the Warriors know Kevin Durant’s not coming back to help the cause. One last win, and it’ll be the most awesome night in Raptors history. And the missed chance of Game 5 will be forgotten.

■■ SQUASH
Country’s best on court By Erin Tasker
erin.t@theguardian.co.nz
Five years ago, if a Mid Canterbury squash club managed to attract an A grader to their annual tournament, it was cause for serious celebration. Times have changed, and several of the country’s elite squash players will hit the court in Rakaia this weekend, lured to town by an offer of big prize money and the prospect of some top squash ahead of nationals. For years, Rakaia Squash Club club captain Matt Parsons said he has wanted to go big with the annual Rakaia Open, but it hasn’t quite worked out, until this year. “This year I have finally managed to get everything all in line, and everything all teed up,” Parsons said. This year, he’s managed to get the man who recently took over the number one ranking in New Zealand, Wellington’s Evan Williams, to come and play in Rakaia, and he will headline a star-studded men’s open grade field. Parsons said Oliver Johnston, the man ranked third in the country, and Jackson Beresford – a player just outside the top 10 – will also feature in the draw, along with other top 20 players Adam Odering and Joseph Williams. All the stars might have aligned when it came to getting some of the country’s biggest names to Rakaia, but they hadn’t when it came to getting some of the biggest local squash names to Rakaia, with most away in Dunedin at a quadrangular tournament. The Rakaia Open will cater for everything from men’s and women’s open grade right down to F grade, where some of the younger or newer squash players are set to benefit from the experience of playing alongside some of the best in the country. “They’ll be able to watch them, and be able to talk to them, and ask them about their experiences,” Parsons said. The player who takes out the
Evan Williams is ranked number one in New Zealand, but will be expecting stern opposition from the likes of Joseph Williams, Adam Odering and Oliver Johnston in Rakaia’s showpiece tournament this weekend.
men’s open grade will go home with $1000 in their pocket, while the runner-up will receive $500,
and third place will take home $250. There’s also $500 for the player who takes out the women’s
Coll goes down to world No. 1 in thriller The Squash World Tour Finals are over for Paul Coll after an epic contest against world No.1 Ali Farag of Egypt in what was arguably the best match of the tournament. Coll looked in fine form as he won the first game 11-9 as the top seed appeared lethargic at times and the 27-year-old player from Greymouth had energy to burn. In the second game Coll again looked good as he edged his way to a significant lead at 6-3 ahead. However Farag who has been in top form throughout the last season then dragged himself back into the match, questioning every call along the way to
eventually win the game 12-10. In the third game it was Coll who had to come back and save three match points at 6-10 down, including a stroke against Farag which made the score 10-9 to the Egyptian. After another lengthy rally Coll eventually hit an error to give the match to Farag 9-11, 12-1 11-9. Even with the match the best of three games it still took 69 minutes in hot conditions with a crowd supporting Farag all the way. Coll along with fellow top 10 ranked Kiwi Joelle King now make their way back to New Zealand to take part in Barfoot and Thompson NZ Squash Nationals at Unitec in Auckland June 27-30.
Paul Coll
A grade, with $250 for second and $100 for third. Christchurch sisters Katie and
Kelsey Carrick are the favourites to take the women’s grade out, with the top local hope being Aleisha Stoddart from Ashburton. Play gets under way at the Rakaia Squash Club at 5.30pm on Friday night and will continue from 7am on Saturday, with the first finals set to take to the court at around 5pm. The main final is expected to hit the court at around 8.30pm. Parsons said he hopes the tournament will attract plenty of spectators, with all welcome to head along and check out some spectacular squash action.

Another title proves elusive It was a case of close again, but still no cigar for Ashburton indoor bowlers at the national championships in Rotorua. After finishing runner-up in the masters pairs on Tuesday, Mark Sheard went within a whisker of making his second final for the week in yesterday’s triples post-section, falling in the semi-finals. Sheard, playing with fellow Ashburton bowler, Cecil Tubb and Taupo’s Chris Guy, worked their way through to the semi-finals, only to fall at the second to last hurdle to a strong combination from the Hawke’s Bay. Michael Lawson was only other local player in action yesterday as he attempted, alongside Simon Thomas and Daniel

Sheard, Tubb, Guy and Helen Rennie will combine in a fours team looking to continue their good run of form for the week while Lawson, Thomas and French will be joined by Keri Te Tamaki in the open event. The day will finish with the naming of the North and South Island teams before post-section play in the fours tomorrow.

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker
Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You stumble across information that perhaps wasn’t intended for you, at least not by its keeper. But from the perspective of universal consciousness, of course it was meant for you. Otherwise you wouldn’t have it. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Everyone is seeking to be understood. You want this, too, but you’re willing to take a break from the quest to focus on others. You’ll learn something about human nature that will help the crusade. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Why expect yourself to do the work of a master when you’ve only just begun to learn the craft? Because someone has made it look easy, that’s why. Mastery often does appear that way. Be patient. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’re open to love, but you know better than to try and extract it from anywhere complicated. The best love is the kind that’s made readily available. You shouldn’t have to go fracking for it. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Your heart swells to fill the moment. This is how you love – elastic-like. You’ve been known to promise things in this state of heightened feeling, but really, you shouldn’t have to. Your big love is enough. Really it is! VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Gold can be found in dirt, in streams, in oceans, even in the human body. It’s rare to come across a big nugget of it. Give what you’re offering in a concentrated form and it will be accepted as the jackpot it is. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’ll feel the good feelings because you decide to – no other reason. Once you set your mind to an idea, you become a magnet for it. That idea organises your perception. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): People who are interested in others tend to ask the great questions that go straight to the essence of the matter. They’ll sound brilliant for just being curious... which, actually, is what being brilliant is all about. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Making things is the fun part, especially in the beginning when you’re full of hope. It’s exciting to think about what could be. The middle is where grit comes in. You have plenty of that to draw on today. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): If you’re being honest, you’ll notice that you’re actually growing irritated by that activity that eats your hours and doesn’t give back in terms of pleasure or productivity. Time to put that one to rest. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): It’s as though something opens in you and the hard work becomes effortless. Maybe due to adrenaline released in a high-pressure situation. Deadlines are good that way. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Pity doesn’t help. Helping helps. And that is why you’re so busy this weekend. You can provide what someone else is lacking, and it’s your pleasure to do so.

Canterbury’s player of the year By Erin Tasker

Tessa McCann didn’t play as much tennis over the 2018/19 season as she had in the past, but what tennis she did play was top notch. And it was those performances which saw her take out one of the big prizes on offer at the annual Canterbury Tennis awards last week. McCann, 18, was named Can-
terbury’s player of the year. She wasn’t just the women’s player of the year, or junior player of the year, she was overall player of the year, and the Ashburton player was stoked. She knew Mid Canterbury Tennis had talked about nominating her, but didn’t know they had until she was told she’d taken the title out, and she said it was a huge surprise. After years of dedicating her
summers to tennis, this past season McCann decided to take it a bit easier. She wasn’t a regular on the court for interclub, and for the first time since she first entered the nationals in the 12s age group, McCann did not go to the nationals. She did manage to successfully defend her Canterbury Open women’s singles title, though, and won her fourth Mid Canterbury Tennis Gala Cup women’s
singles title, as well as picking up the women’s doubles title with Larissa Allan, and the mixed doubles title with her dad Neil McCann. For McCann, the 2018/19 season had been a chance to take it a bit easier, and recharge her tennis batteries. “I’ve gone so many years with my summers booked up with tennis, and I just needed a bit of a break,” McCann said.
The nationals were well and truly back on her radar for next season though, with the under-18 nationals – which would be her last age group nationals – marked on her calendar, as well as maybe a trip to the Wellington or Auckland open tournaments, and of course defending her Canterbury Open crown again. “I’m really keen, I think the break did me good,” McCann said.
