The Pimms was flowing before lunch as three former Lowcliffe School pupils celebrated an annual get-together and a win at the New Zealand Agricultural Show.

Emma Sharpin, of Leeston and her sister Catherine Sharpin, of Chertsey, combined some friendly competition with an annual catch-up with their friend Annabell Askin, who now lives in Australia.

“This is like our annual get-together,” Emma said.

Known as The Pork Pullers, the trio won Best Commercial Boar and Champion Boar, with their entry, named Stephen Porking.

It was their best result in three years of exhibiting.

The win had likely saved Stephen Porking from an early roast dinner, as the young boar may now be used for breeding, Emma said.

“We’ve had interest from breeders in the North Island.”

While they had sourced the pig from Fairlie, the boar genetics had come from the North Island.

“We have always liked the berkshire breed as they seem to have a good temperament.

“Usually the judges go for the commercial breeds like large white,” Emma said.

The three women, all from farming backgrounds around Lowcliffe, began entering pigs to challenge the predominantly male syndicates.

The pig section at the Christchurch show has been transformed into a jovi-

al social occasion in the last few years, with syndicates of young people, many dressing in matching outfits for the occasion, entering exhibits, boosting entry numbers to more than 50 compared with only a handful five years ago.

The jump in pig entries was credited to the establishment of the Boar Breeders’ Association by South Canterbury deer farmer James Pearse.

This was after Pearse and his brother Henry won with a pig called Rammstein, named after a German heavy metal band, in 2014.

The syndicates generally buy their pigs as weaners and grow them for the show. Most association members join for the social events, such as a barbecue and an annual ball which coincide with the show.

■■ REFUGEES

Feeling at home in a new community As Ashburton prepares to welcome its first refugees from Afghanistan in June next year, recent arrivals Fatima and Ghulam Hossani share their experiences of arriving in New Zealand and the things their new community did to make them feel welcome.

Fatima and Ghulam Hossani.

PHOTO SUPPLIED

Fatima and Ghulam Hossani and family are from Afghanistan, recently arrived through the New Zealand Refugee Quota programme.

We asked them about the Afghan culture and what they are looking forward to in New Zealand.

“The Afghan culture is about having good connections and feeling like a family.

The memories we have of Afghanistan include being friendly to neighbours and getting along with Afghanis from different tribes who spoke languages like Pashto, Uzbek, Dari and Farsi.

“Each tribe has their own style of food, including dishes like Kabuli Pulao and Uzbek pilaf.

“We come from a country where we did not feel safe due to war and killing of Afghani. Over 20 years we experienced only going from home to school and work, and back again. We have faced discrimination and not being able to use our education and skills.

“We want to have freedom and be happy, and are hopeful for our future now that we have arrived in New Zealand.

“We are looking forward to settling in New Zealand and having

our own home, learning English, getting a job and having access to health services and study opportunities.

“We have found New Zealand people to be kind and helpful.

We encourage neighbours to visit as a family, as Afghani custom is to have female members of the family have female visitors only, and if male members of the family are home, then male visitors are welcomed.

“We would like to connect with our neighbours in our new town and for people to know that Afghani people are the same as New Zealanders.”

Big wins in new school donation scheme

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Voluntary school donations might be a bug-bear for cashstrapped families, but for many in the Ashburton District, next year they’ll be a thing of the past.

Those donations vary in amount from school to school, but for most of the district’s schools, the voluntary element means they’re often not paid. And that leaves schools to stump up the cash for items and events donations are supposed to cover.

Earlier this year the Government came up with a plan to scrap the donations, replacing these with a $150 per student grant. This, however, was available only to decile one to seven schools. That sees at least 10 of the district’s schools missing out, but on paper, at least, others will have a significant win.

Bruce Tilby, principal of Allenton, Ashburton’s largest primary school, says his school is likely to receive around $60,000 from the government to replace its dona-

tion scheme. “We’d normally get in about $20,000, but that means we’ll be unable to ask for any donations for activities related to the curriculum,” he said.

Allenton had decided to opt into the scheme as a one-year trial and would assess the outcome at the end of the year.

“It wasn’t a difficult decision, we worked out the costs, did the numbers.”

Hampstead School will also be taking up the grant option, principal Peter Melrose said.

There are a number of events where schools could charge students, such as performances that were held at the school, but most things that could still have a donation attached to them would be just that, voluntary, he said.

“It’s got potential to provide additional funding but it does come with fish-hooks. Schools need to be very aware though that they won’t be able to charge for things,” he said.

Based on the school’s roll it would receive about $50,000 from

the government, significantly more than the $6000 it normal receives in donations.

Schools have to opt into the government fund and this has to be done annually, but for many it means there will be more money available to pay for a range of activities, but there will still be some such as music tuition, optional events and some resources.

Schools will also be able to ask for donations towards school camps, but these will be voluntary.

They’re back! SH1 gulls set up colony

By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s tarapuka are back.

Up to 4000 of the black-billed gulls are congregating in the riverbed at the State Highway One bridge, beginning to build nests so they can raise their young over summer.

The rare gulls traditionally nest at the noisy and high-profile site, but have been nowhere to be seen in the area and many locals feared they would not return this year.

Last year a large colony arrived about the same time, after they were washed out from a site about one kilometre upstream.

Forest and Bird chairwoman Edith Smith said the colony congregating there now was suspected to have arrived from the Rangitata River mouth following control work to move the mouth, and flooding there.

“It’s great to have them, because people have been saying ‘Where are our birds, where are our gulls?’

So here they are, back again,” Smith said.

Just as ecstatic are Ashburton Borough School children, who appreciate having a critically endangered species endemic to New Zealand dwelling so near their

campus. Pupils in Arava McNally’s Woolshed Creek class have designed signs about the birds as part of their Share the Planet Enquiry.

They also came up with the idea of holding a bake sale, and raised $219 for Forest and Bird to use for making signs.

“We did it because they are endangered,” said Tia Double, 9.

“And they don’t deserve to be endangered,” added Erika Meade-Tamura, 10.

McNally took her pupils for a walk to the bridge yesterday so they could observe the gulls from the prime viewpoint.

Meanwhile, interest in the birds has been particularly high this year following flocks settling in town centre sites in Canterbury.

There are about 300 nesting in the Christchurch city centre in the derelict and flooded foundations of a demolished office block, and a similar-sized group made a nuisance of themselves at Ashburton’s Harvey Norman early spring by congregating in the area for weeks on end.

Ashburton Forest and Bird is reminding Mid Cantabrians to steer clear of the river through to February, as there are many birds nesting along its braids. As well as

the gulls at the bridge, there are banded dotterels, terns and other species.

Nine-year-old Tia Double and 10-year-old Erika Meade-Tamura welcome back Ashburton’s endangered black-billed gulls.

Two Legionnaires’ patients recovering

Car overturns in Elgin

By Susan Sandys

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Two Mid Canterbury patients are recovering well after contracting Legionnaires’ disease.

Ashburton District recorded two cases of the illness for the week ending November 8, one in an elderly man and one in an elderly woman.

Medical Officer of Health Dr Cheryl Brunton said both cases were for patients who had been exposed to potting mix and/or compost while gardening.

One had been hospitalised and both were recovering well.

Brunton said it was the first cases recorded for the district this year.

“The number of cases of legionellosis tend to increase in spring as the planting season be-

gins and people spend more time in their gardens,” Brunton said.

The cause is infection with a type of bacteria called Legionella, which lives in the environment, in water and moist organic material such as soil, bark, compost and potting mix.

“People are usually exposed by breathing airborne droplets or particles containing the bacteria.”

The illness may be mild but can sometimes be fatal. It is more common in older people, particularly if they smoke, have poor immunity or a chronic illness.

However, sometimes even healthy young people have died from legionella pneumonia.

Symptoms can include dry coughing, high fever, chills, shortness of breath, muscle aches, headaches and diarrhoea.

AVOIDING LEGIONNAIRES

Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

■■ Open potting mix or compost carefully – use scissors instead of ripping the bag.

■■ Wear a well-fitting disposable face mask and gloves, and remember not to touch your mask when gardening.

■■ Reduce dust by dampening down potting mix or compost with a sprinkle of water.

■■ Work with potting mix or compost in a well-ventilated outdoor area.

■■ Wash your hands thoroughly after handling potting mix or compost.

Members of the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade have been kept busy in the past two days attending a variety of call-outs.

In the early hours of Wednesday morning they were called to a car accident at the corner of Seafield Road and Cochranes Road at 12.55am.

The vehicle rolled and the occupant received moderate injuries and was transported to Ashburton Hospital by ambulance.

Chief Fire Officer Alan Burgess said rescue equipment was used at the scene, but that the occupant was not

Price

trapped and the gear was only used to open a door.

At around 10.40am on Wednesday the firefighters were called to an alarm activation at Rosebank Resthome.

Yesterday at 6.45am firefighters were called to Mitre 10 Mega to reports of a false alarm.

Burgess said a light fitting had burnt out creating an odd odour.

“There is something about that particular light fitting and I don’t know if it is age but when it burns out it generates a really nasty smell, but that was all it was and there was no structural damage,” he said.

Exploring students’ scientific thinking

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

Mount Hutt College student Victoria Hutana has been selected as one of 40 students from around the country to test her scientific thinking at the Powering Potential event in Wellington this weekend.

The three-day event, held from November 16-18, sees groups of five work alongside a scientist or specialist who will act as their mentor over the three days.

The groups of five will work as teams on a question submitted by their mentor.

The students will then research, investigate and collaborate to provide recommendations.

Hutana has been placed into team health, an area she hopes to move into after high school.

“The head of science sent out an email to everyone about it and I had to do a three-minute video talking about why you would be a good person for it, what you would like to get from it,” she said.

“I have never had to do a video of myself like that before so I was a bit nervous.”

The Year 12 student said they had been sorted into groups, but she did not know anyone else that was going, and they had received no indications about what they would be working on other than it was a health-based topic.

“There are a lot of different groups, one is air quality, and there are others like geology and biology, the normal science stuff,” she said.

“It is quite scary not knowing what you are going to be doing and having to meet new people.”

Hutana said once she finishes at Mount Hutt College she was optimistic she would study at university, in either Auckland or Otago, due to them having strong health science programmes.

Mount Hutt College student Victoria Hutana is off to Powering Potential over the weekend.

■■SAFE COMMUNITIES ASHBURTON DISTRICT

Future public transport service in community’s hands The future of a public transport service in the Ashburton District is in the community’s hands.

Safe Communities Ashburton District wants feedback on its proposal to establish a community transport service, possibly using a community van to provide a transportation option to the district’s rural and remote

communities. Ashburton district councillor Liz McMillan chairs the community transport working group and said the scheme is running successfully in many communities around Canterbury.

She believes it would be well supported by people living in Methven and Rakaia who needed to come to Ashburton for ap-

pointments, shopping or business.

Before the next step was taken and an application made to become part of the community transport network, the working group needed an indication of public support.

“We would really like to hear from people who feel restricted

from going about their everyday business and activities in Ashburton Township by a lack of transport.

This feedback will help us decide what, if anything, could be required to help people be less isolated in our more rural areas of the district,” she said.

Community transport schemes

run on a not-for-profit basis, often involving volunteers to manage and deliver the service. People using the service make a small payment towards recovering operating costs.

There is an incentive for people to take part in the survey with a chance to win a $100 grocery voucher.

■■METHVEN CARE TRUST

On show for a good cause

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When it comes to supporting their own, you can’t get much better than the Methven community, says Methven Care Trust fundraising co-ordinator Sue van den Heuvel.

And last weekend was a perfect example of that community opening its heart, and its homes, for a good cause, she said.

The annual Methven Care Trust House and Garden tour saw hundreds of people walk through seven properties in the area, enjoying beautiful gardens, old homesteads and sparkling newly completed homes, all in aid of raising money.

While the people who buy tickets and undertake the tour are a critical element of the project, the biggest bouquet has to go to the property owners who are prepared to share their private spaces with the world, van den Heuvel said.

“It’s a big call for the owners, a huge encroachment on their private space and we really recognise that. We’re very humbled that they’re prepared to do this.”

Each year the tour has been held, the trust has managed to find new people who are happy to be part of the event.

“I think the thing that drives this is that it’s for such a good cause.”

In addition to the property owners willingly opening their doors, there was a huge team of volunteers who helped out at each property, she said.

The Methven Care Trust is a registered charity set up to fundraise and oversee the development of the new aged-care facility in Methven which will replace the existing Methven House.

Shane Jones calls farmer protesters ‘rednecks’

By Jason Walls NZME

Farmer protesters outside Parliament yesterday.

He said the protester’s attitude was “Ngati redneckery”. “When you punch me in the nose,” he said of the protesters booing him, “you’re going to get a reciprocal gesture”.

Jones said the protest group was “incredibly vitriolic” and insulting to O’Connor, as well as Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

O’Connor was also booed by the crowd with one person yelling out “traitor” – at one point, O’Connor turned to walk away before his speech was done.

“Do you want to listen, or not?” he said at one point as the booing got loud.

“Alright, I’m just going to bloody talk whether you’re here or not,” he added.

Speaking to the media before going into the House, Muller said Jones’ comments were “extraordinary”.

“That guy needs to get over his own bombastic behaviour and actually listen to people and instead of calling people names like a schoolyard bully.”

O’Connor said he did not agree with Jones’ “redneck” comment.

“Shane uses a few terms; it’s his right to do that and it’s certainly not something I agree with.”

Outspoken New Zealand First Minister Shane Jones labelled farmer protesters gathered on Parliament’s lawn “rednecks” and responded to their booing with a waiata.

His comments have drawn criticism, with National’s agriculture spokesman Todd Muller calling Jones a “schoolyard bully”.

And his fellow Ministers don’t endorse his comments either, with both Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor and Climate Change Minister James Shaw distancing themselves from the remarks.

Roughly 300-500 people, many of them farmers, gather this afternoon to protest against what they said was the Government’s “destroying” rural New Zealand.

There was a sizable showing from the National Party; Muller sided with the protesters and criticised the Government’s approach to the regions.

But the fireworks came as Jones got up to address the uneasy crowd.

As they booed, Jones launched into a rendition of the Maori waiata, Tutira mai nga iwi.

After a short speech, where he took aim at the National Party, he told media: “I’m matua Shane Jones, if you’re going to shout over me you’re never ever going to win”.

“I am not going to keep quiet in front of some sort of rally that is pitched at the National Party – I’m from New Zealand First, that’s just never going to happen.”

Asked why he sang to them, he said their speeches were going on too long.

“I wasn’t deliberately moving on from having annoyed the immigrants to antagonising the rednecks, it just came out.”

Pressed again later in the day on the comments, Jones doubled down.

When Hampstead School Year 3 and 4 students lined up to take part in a top team competition, they discovered they were about to launch themselves on a steep learning curve. The Sport Canterbury event is designed to teach children about team work and co-operative problem solving while they’re engaged in fun, physical activities. Across a range of water and skill-based events, the students competed in teams, most ending the morning wet, dirty and happy. The top team programme is well used by schools across Canterbury, with 18,000 children taking part in the past year.

OUR VIEW

Our racist, mean-spirited underbelly W

hat a difference a day makes.

Yesterday there was a feel-good vibe in the air, the kind of feeling that comes with knowing you’re doing the right thing, doing something for someone else, taking an unselfish look at life.

We’d already been told we made the cut as a town that was approved to accept refugees into our community and we’d just found out where they were coming from – war and drought ravaged Afghanistan.

People were feeling pretty good about that, feeling happy that we were able to offer safe haven and a new chance at life for around 30 families for whom the past few years are likely to

have been hell.

That great feeling didn’t last long, however. It was quickly dampened by the bitter thoughts and harsh words that Facebook faithful wanted to share. For those people, and thankfully they’re small in number, the arrival of refugees is seen as a threat.

One has to ask how, and why?

There seems to be a common theme to the faceless Facebook

commentators – refugees will take our jobs, occupy our homes.

What they’re saying is the 30odd adults who will eventually become part of our workforce will take the jobs these commentators believe should be theirs.

Back up the truck a minute.

Many of the people who become refugees are, in their homelands, highly educated, highly skilled.

Punitive regimes most frequently hound the academic and the able.

The jobs they will eventually take up are unlikely to be the jobs that those who complain the loudest would want – or qualify for.

Check out our unemployment rate – one of the lowest in the country, ask employers about the

struggle to find good staff and they’ll tell you it’s a desperate one.

And housing? Check out the number of houses available to rent. There are many more than the number of refugee families coming next year by big numbers.

And refugees come with one thing that many of our homegrown tenants do not – an absolute appreciation of having a place to live that won’t be taken away, a place that is warm, clean and most likely theirs for a decent length of time.

Yes, some could be placed in state houses, but that’s unlikely, experience in other parts of New Zealand shows that private sector rentals are most common.

And if that’s not enough, refugees have already built a reputation as being tenants of choice because they’re prepared to look after their new home.

It makes you feel just a little bit ashamed to call yourself an Ashburtonian when you read some of this ill-informed comment, when you read that some of us are judging some of them just because they’re seen as different.

We’re all different – thank God. Those who are quick to criticise, who flaunt their racist views, should be ashamed.

We like to think we’re a welcoming, open-minded and kind-spirited community, but sadly, as it is in any team, any community, we’re only as strong as our weakest links.

In 1987, 28 of 82 people aboard a Continental Airlines DC-9, including the pilots, were killed when the jetliner crashed seconds after taking off from Denver’s Stapleton International Airport.

In 2003, two Black Hawk helicopters collided and crashed in Iraq; 17 US troops were killed.

Ten years ago: Kosovo’s first independent elections ended peacefully, with Prime Minister Hashim Thaci claiming victory for his party.

Five years ago: Pope Francis denounced the right to

die movement, telling the Association of Italian Catholic Doctors it was a “false sense of compassion” to consider euthanasia an act of dignity when it was in fact a sin against God and creation.

One year ago: Buses carrying Central American asylum seekers reached the US border as the Mexican city of Tijuana converted a municipal gymnasium into a temporary shelter; US border inspectors at the main crossing into San Diego were processing only about 100 asylum claims a day.

Nigel is ready and waiting N

igel is the newest addition to our family.

Nigel the Nomad is our recently purchased, and now refurbished, caravan and he is all set and ready to go.

In fact he’s been ready for a couple of weeks now.

I must confess I have done very little of the refurbishing.

Manda and her bro have done an amazing job giving Nigel a facelift including replacing all the veneer throughout Nigel.

A job Manda knows I wouldn’t have the patience for, so I have happily been hanging out with Maddison while they have been transforming Nigel.

I’m sure my brother-in-law is very ready for us to remove Nigel from his driveway as well.

One of the driving factors behind the caravan purchase was getting away to Rangi either side of Christmas for the odd weekend of fishing and relaxing.

There was no way I was erecting and dropping our canvas tent for a two-night stay.

The only issue is, finding time to get away in him and enjoy our first caravan adventure.

It is such a busy time of the year, eh?

No chance this weekend as Manda is away on a hen’s party, all day Saturday and I’m picking

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

she could be a bit jaded on Sunday.

The following weekend is mental busy.

We are in Geraldine on Friday night for a wedding and then buzz down to Queenstown on Saturday to celebrate my brother Greg’s 50th birthday.

I’m very much looking forward to that night.

As much as we all would never admit it to each other, we look forward to catching up and when the three Hooper boys get together it’s always a fun night.

Behind all the cutting one-liners and abuse, we are very close and enjoy each other’s company.

The fact that we all live in different regions probably helps that.

As I have mentioned before Greg is a very keen home brewer and has our evening all planned, strangely enough all around establishments that brew their own beer.

The following weekend would be a perfect way to see in De-

cember, but Saturday, November 30 is the Santa Parade and I’m guessing I’ll be busy wandering up and down the main drag dressed as a banana in pyjamas.

The following weekend is Christmas in the Park and the Hokonui team will be there in force and we will draw out our $10,000 cash winner.

How exciting!

The weekend after a certain Maddison Hooper turns three whole years old and I’m pretty sure the Hall family wouldn’t talk to us again if we took off to Rangi for the weekend and didn’t have a family get together to celebrate.

Where did that three years go?

So it looks like our maiden adventure in Nigel will actually be the two weeks over Christmas and New Year.

The timing couldn’t be better with friends from out of town here and needing somewhere to stay, they can house/cat/chicken sit for us.

There’s plenty of weekends AFTER Christmas for enjoying Nigel eh?

Till next week, hoo roo Phill Hooper – caravanner Phill Hooper is the breakfast host of Ashburton’s Hokonui radio station. The views ex-

■■REAL ESTATE

NZ house prices set a new record NZME New Zealand house prices set a new annual record, up 8.2 per cent from a median $561,500 to $607,500.

Latest Real Estate Institute data showed that was the first time this country’s house prices had gone above $600,000.

Auckland house prices rose by a median $7000 annually, from $861,000 a year ago to $868,000 last month which REINZ said was the highest median price for that city in 19 months.

Six areas with the fastest-rising prices annually where records were set are: ■■ Manawatu/Whanganui, up 20.9 per cent from $337,000 to $407,500; ■■ Hawke’s Bay, up 16.3 per cent from $460,000 to $535,000; ■■ Otago, up 15.8 per cent from $475,000 to $550,000; ■■ Waikato, up 9.6 per cent from $$520,000 to $570,000; ■■ Northland up 9.4 per cent from $480,000 to $525,000; ■■ Bay of Plenty up 7.8 per cent from $575,000 to $620,000.

Bindi Norwell REINZ chief executive Bindi Norwell said October was a strong month for record median prices and the new national record median.

was now enjoying a 40 per cent listing number leap on the previous three months.

New listings with that agency jumped from 1204 in September to 1605 in October.

CoreLogic said last week the house sale market showed further signs of strengthening nationally in October with all main urban areas enjoying property value lifts.

The CoreLogic QV House Price Index showed that nationwide, average property values rose by 0.4 per cent last month.

“Housing market conditions are building momentum, following the tentative signs of growth witnessed last month,” CoreLogic commentary on November 4 said.

Regionally, the standout performer from main centres remained Dunedin, up 2.7 per cent over the month to be up 6 per cent quarterly, the biggest jump in values in nearly 15 years.

Auckland’s North Shore, previously the city’s weakest value growth area, now led the region’s recovery, with 1.5 per cent growth in the three months to the end of October, CoreLogic said.

NEW ZEALAND SHARE MARKET

which measures the changing value of property, rose 3.9 per cent year-on-year to 2863, a new record high.

In October the median number of days to sell a property nationally decreased by a day from 35 to 34 days when compared to October last year. This figure was down two days on last month’s figure of 36 days, REINZ said.

Auctions were used in 15.5 per cent of all national sales last month, with 1052 properties selling via that method, in line with the same time last year.

National Inventory is falling: the total number of properties available for sale nationally fell 13.1 per cent in October to 22,313.

Last week Auckland’s largest agency, Barfoot & Thompson, reported a lift in the number of new listings in October which it claimed set the scene for the Auckland residential housing market to be active.

Since March, a modest number of properties had been listed to the point where, by the start of October, numbers were at a twoyear low. But the agency said it

“This is the highest number of regional record prices we’ve seen for the country in 23 months.”

And she noted Auckland’s lift: “Auckland City saw the highest median price in 28 months with a 4.6 per cent annual increase to $1,001,000, in part due to a 43 per cent increase in median price in the Waitemata and Gulf area.”

But Auckland also suffered decreasing sales, down 5.5 per cent annually.

National sales volumes fell 4 per cent in October compared to a year ago. Norwell said it was unfair to compare October last year with last month due to the number of people aiming to sell their home before the foreign buyer ban came into effect at the end of October 2018.

“It’s not surprising that the number of properties sold fell when compared to last year. When you add this to the fact that there are around 7800 fewer listings for the first 10 months of 2019 when compared to the same time last year, it’s no wonder sales volumes are down,” she said.

he biggest surprise on the market this week was delivered by the Reserve Bank, which left the official cash rate unchanged. Most market participants were factoring in a 25 basis point cut, the decision to stay put saw the New Zealand dollar rise dramatically. The market was also kept busy with a number of corporate results, most of which delivered on expectations.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) leaves the official cash rate (OCR) unchanged The RBNZ went against market expectations on Wednesday when it held the OCR at 1.0 per cent, as the monetary policy committee decided there had been no major change in the economic outlook since the 50 basis point cut in August. However, a statement released by the RBNZ said it was monitoring economic developments and further monetary stimulus would be added if needed. The committee next meets in February 2020.

New record high for New Zealand median house price The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand released its monthly property report on Thursday, with data showing that median house prices across New Zealand increased by 8.2 per cent in October, to a new record high of $607,500. This was up from $561,500 last year, and is the first time the domestic median house price has been over $600,000.

Median house prices in Auckland increased to $868,000, up 0.8 per cent on the same month last year. The region with the largest increase was Gisborne, up 37.1 per cent from October last year.

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

Mainfreight released its first half result on Wednesday The company’s operating earnings were up 9.9 per cent to $119.1m and the net profit after tax rose by 11.3 per cent to $62.2m. The freight company attributed the positive results to improvements in Europe and the US. Despite the increase in growth, the results showed that the New Zealand and Australian arms of the business were experiencing weakness due to slowing economic conditions and increased costs.

The local market had a busy week of interim and full year results.

Investore Property delivered its first half result on Wednesday, which was down on the prior period. Profit for the half was down $1m to $9m. Infratil reported its interim result, with its operating earnings up 1.7 per cent on the quarter before, at $289m. Sanford released its annual result on Thursday, with operating earnings at $64.8m, broadly flat on the previous year. Net profit after tax of $41.7m was down on last year’s $42.3m.

Markets turn to Donald Trump for signs on trade.

The US President Donald Trump dangled the prospect of completing an initial trade deal with China “soon”, however, offered no new details on negotia-

tions in a speech on Tuesday.

The president said he would raise tariffs “substantially” on Chinese goods if there was no deal.

These tariffs are expected to take effect on December 15. The US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell also testified to congress this week. Powell said he expects the US economy to continue growing at a solid pace, though it still faces risks from slower growth overseas and trade tensions.

China’s Singles Day meant new records for Alibaba China’s annual Singles’ Day shopping event held on November 11 led Alibaba into record sales territory. Sales increased 26 per cent on the previous year to a record $US38bn. However, this growth rate for the online retailer was the weakest it has been since the event started in 2009. The company attributed the moderate growth to a slowing e-commerce industry in China.

Disney launched its streaming service Disney+ on Tuesday Walt Disney’s debut in the streaming media wars on Tuesday was hit with technical glitches that the company attributed to higher than expected demand.

Disney announced on Wednesday that Disney+ had over 10 million subscribers only a day after launching. This remains well short of rival Netflix which has 158m subscribers.

10 garden improvements to consider before selling your home

N

ovember is a wonderful month in the garden. There are masses of lush green growth, new season vegetables are growing at a rapid rate and summer flowering annuals and roses are bursting with colour. It’s a joy to be outside and this month’s task will keep you active in the sunshine.

Vegetable garden The practice of succession planting is important when it comes to vegetable gardening. It means you stagger your plantings or planting varieties so you do not have them all cropping at once, e.g. you plant a couple of lettuce every two to three weeks.

Continue to plant summer vegetables including; beans (dwarf and runner), beetroot, cabbage, celery, corn, cucumber, courgettes, lettuce, pumpkin, radish, tomatoes, and kumara. Water your vegetables regularly but not excessively.

Tie up tomatoes and remove lateral growth. Apply side dressings of vegetable fertiliser, especially to those gross feeders e.g. sweet corn.

Flowering annuals Spring flowering annuals should now be in full bloom. Continue planting

seedlings of alyssum, ageratum, asters, cornflowers, cosmos, livingstone daisies, marigolds, nemesias, phlox, petunias, salvias, strawflowers and zinnias.

Dead head (removal of dead flowers) the annuals throughout the growing season to encourage continuous blooming.

Fruit trees All fruit trees are in active growth in November and young fruit are forming on pip and stone trees. Fertilise with fruit tree fertiliser to encourage strong, healthy growth – and don’t forget to water it in well. Citrus trees, tangelo seminole and harwood late orange are now ripe and ready for harvesting.

Strawberries November is an excellent month for harvesting strawberries in the home garden.

Plants require minimal care but maintain a bed of pea straw or hay around the plants as this helps reduce possible attacks of botrytis (grey mould). Cover the strawberry beds with bird netting where birds are a problem.

Herbs As temperatures rise, herbs thrive!

TM

Trim herbs even if they are not required for the kitchen as this encourages fresh new growth. Basil can now be planted in southern districts as the risk of late frosts has passed.

Roses November is a glorious time for cultivating roses! Bushes are usually covered in blooms and are typically disease free. As with your flowering annuals, remove finished flowers (dead heading) to encourage further flowering of your roses. Feed with Daltons Premium Rose Fertiliser from now until Christmas, add extra Daltons Nutrient Enriched Mulch & Grow and enjoy your blooms.

Container gardens A very simple way to beautify decks, entranceways, balconies and courtyards is to include punnets of flowering annuals. These are a very economical way of producing colour in your containers!

Hedges The spring flush on hedges should now be finished so it’s an ideal time to trim and shape hedges. By trimming a little and often hedges can be maintained in excellent health and form. With newly planted hedges, water and fertilise

regularly to encourage strong healthy growth.

Lawns Lawns are at their very best and it definitely feels like Mowvember with all the new growth! This is the last month to safely sow new lawns or patch up parts of existing lawns.

Fertilise with lawn fertiliser, watering immediately after applications. Where ready lawn is to be laid, preparation of the site is critical to success, as is regular watering after installation until the new lawn is well established.

Ornamental trees and shrubs Care of these plants includes fertiliser applications (every five to six weeks), mulching to help retain soil moisture and supress weeds, and pruning after flowering has finished to maintain healthy, sturdy plants.

Attempt to create an all year round garden by planting trees and shrubs that flower at different times of the year. Have fun in the garden!

■■AUSTRALIA

Death toll up to four NZME

A fourth victim of the Australian bushfires has been found in bushland beside a road on the New South Wales’ mid north coast.

Locals made the tragic discovery near the township of Willawarrin, northwest of Kempsey, yesterday.

“The man is yet to be formally identified; however, it’s believed to be the body of a 58-year-old man who lived in a shed nearby,” police said.

Local police have been told he was last seen on Friday, November 8.

An autopsy will be carried out to determine the man’s cause of death and identity. A report will also be prepared for the coroner.

The death toll from the emergency now stands at four. The three identified victims are Vivian Chaplain, 69, Julie Fletcher, 63, and George Nole.

Meanwhile a volunteer firefighter captured the incredible moment a fire tornado spun into life as crews were battling bushfires near Yeppoon, Queensland.

Dan Boswood filmed as the tornado formed while fires burned on the ground below in Lake Mary on Monday.

Kirsty Boswood uploaded the vision to Facebook.

“Dan filmed this today out the back of Lake Mary, just insane and a small snippet of what conditions are like fighting this fire,” she wrote.

“He like many others in our community who are fighting this are volunteers, honestly what they do and all the QFES is nothing short of amazingly courageous, all to save someone else’s property and lives.”

Queensland authorities issued a “prepare to leave” warning for several areas, including Lake Mary, and warned that conditions could quickly worsen.

A fire burning in NSW’s north east has been upgraded to emergency level, with residents being warned to take shelter.

The Myall Creek Rd fire is burning near Bungawalbin and Yellow Creek and has already impacted more than 4600 hectares.

Northerly winds are pushing the fire south towards New Italy, Donaldson, and Doubleduke State Forest.

Residents in Neileys Lagoon and Yellow Crossing have been told to take shelter as the fire front approaches.

A teenager has been charged over a fire west of Yeppoon in Queensland, which destroyed multiple homes.

The Cobraball bushfire started at around 1.30pm on Saturday and destroyed 14 homes and 28 sheds.

The blaze burnt through almost 12,000 hectares and devastated nearby areas of Bungundarra, Adelaide Park, Maryville and Lake Mary.

Police have said they have spoken with a 16-year-old male and will be dealt with under the provisions of the Youth Justice Act. Authorities have urged parents to speak with their children about the consequences of lighting fires in this time of heightened danger.

Star nearly unrecognisable She burst to worldwide fame playing the mysterious, shaven-headed Eleven in Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things.

Just three years later, and young actress Millie Bobby Brown – now 15 years old – is virtually unrecognisable from the character that made her famous. The English actress looked very glam – and very grown up – as she walked the red carpet for a Stranger Things season 3 screening in New York this week.

Chaser arrives in NZ

Barry Parsons took one last selfie before the flames arrived.

The charges were announced yesterday afternoon at a press conference in Yeppoon.

“This investigation’s been ongoing since the start of the fire, so we’ve had an avenue of investigation that we’ve been pursuing,” State Disaster Co-ordinator and Deputy Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski said.

Social media users have shared their outrage at the news, with many agreeing the teen needs to be held accountable for his actions.

“I’m getting so sick of reading these daily. These kids need to be punished,” one person said.

“They are more than old enough, or there parents need to be fined. Someone has to pay the consequences.”

“His punishment will be nothing compared to the people’s lives destroyed animals lost lives lost.

“So heartbreaking,” another wrote.

The fourth victim of the destructive bushfires spanning across NSW made a

heart-wrenching final post to social media on the day he disappeared.

“Seriously looks and sounds like (the) apocalypse out there,” Barry Parsons wrote on Facebook at 5.15pm last Friday.

“F***ed up being on your own in these times.”

The body of the 58-year-old man was found in burnt-out bushland north west of Kempsey on the Mid North Coast shortly before midnight on Wednesday.

Police said the body was discovered by locals on the southern end of the Kyuna Track at Willawarrin, about 34 kilometres from Kempsey.

Local police have been told Parsons was last seen on Friday, November 8.

Earlier that afternoon, the 58-year-old had also posted about the “hot and windy day”, noting there was “smoke everywhere” and it looked “like dusk at 2pm”.

He continued to provide updates throughout the afternoon of the “Mandarin skies”.

“Downright apocalyptic,” he wrote.

■■UNITED STATES

Trump ‘too busy’ to watch impeachment The first day of public impeachment hearings unearthed new evidence potentially implicating President Donald Trump more directly in a scheme to centre American policy toward Ukraine on po-

litical investigations, heightening the stakes of upcoming proceedings that will include a set of critical witnesses.

William Taylor Jr., the acting ambassador to Ukraine, testified about a previously

undisclosed July 26 phone call between Trump and Gordon Sondland, the US ambassador to the European Union, in which the president asked about “the investigations” he had sought into political rivals.

The call puts the president more squarely in the middle of the swirling Ukraine scandal.

“I’m too busy to watch it.

It’s a witchhunt, it’s a hoax ...

I’m sure I’ll get a report”, said Trump.

Kiwi fans of TV phenomenon The Chase will be on high alert for the next week.

Chaser Shaun “The Dark Destroyer” Wallace is in New Zealand for a packed programme of events. Wallace arrived yesterday and was greeted by numerous fans at Auckland Airport. Rod de Lisle commented on Facebook video: “He got a better reception than the All Blacks.

To be fair if they had him in the ABs we might’ve won. Is there a position in the back line called the ‘chaser’? (I think there is in Bullrush).”

Friends special on the way?

A Friends special is reportedly in talks at HBO Max. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a one-off special could be heading to the new streaming service, which launches next year, 25 years after the original US sitcom debuted on NBC. It’s claimed that all of the six main cast members – Courteney Cox (Monica Geller), Jennifer Aniston (Rachel Green), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe Buffay), David Schwimmer (Ross Geller), Matthew Perry (Chandler Bing) and Matt LeBlanc (Joey Tribbiani) - will be reprising their respective roles. The show’s creators, David Crane and Marta Kauffman, are also said to be returning.

Ekins inspires the new Bonnie

O

riginal styling inspired by the legendary ‘59 Bonneville, with iconic styling cues, detailing and features Based on the timeless Bonneville T120 and Bonneville T100, the new for 2020 Bonneville T120 and Bonneville T100 Bud Ekins Special Editions celebrate Bud Ekins, a genuine motorcycle legend.

A professional stuntman and top class motocross and desert racer, Bud also ran Triumph’s biggest American dealership of the time in Sherman Oaks, California, where he became a close friend and the riding partner of a host of Hollywood stars from Steve McQueen, to Paul Newman and Clint Eastwood.

The 2020 Bonneville T120 and Bonneville T100 Bud Ekins Special Editions take all of the classic style and modern capability of the standard Bonneville T120 and Bonneville T100 and bring an even higher standard of finish, including Exclusive California-inspired tank design with striking California ‘flying globe’ logo, unique Triumph heritage tank logo, unique Bonneville T120 and Bonneville T100 Bud Ekins logo on the side panels and dedicated front mudguard paint finish with beautiful California ‘flying globe’ logo.

In addition to their unique paint scheme, the T120 and T100 Bud Ekins Special Editions also feature a host of premium details that further enhance their individual style and one-off positioning.

Born in Los Angeles in 1930, Bud Ekins learned to ride in the nearby Hollywood Hills, honing his off-road skills long before

he could legally ride on the road.

Luckily, California was host to a thriving off-road racing fraternity and even by his late teenage years he earned a mighty reputation as one of SoCal’s top motocross and desert racers.

• Latest facelift Bill By the time US Triumph superdealer • 15,000km Johnson provided Ekins with a TR5 Trophy, 2.8L Turbo on which he won the• Catalina GrandDiesel Prix, Ekins knows well that in Triumph he has found a manufacturer that builds the kind

of strong, fast and light motorcycles with all the agility, responsiveness and power that he yearns for.

Ekins’ success in the mid-fifties coincided with Triumph’s emergence as a major player in world motorcycling, with both parties playing their roles in re-defining what a motorcycle was capable of.

Triumph’s famous managing director and design chief, Edward Turner, continued to develop incredible Triumph twin

engine motorcycles which were becoming increasingly powerful, efficient and reliable. In 1956, when Ekins finished second in the 153-mile off-road Californian Big Bear Motorcycle Run, the first-, second- and third-placed riders were all on Triumph TR6 Trophy motorcycles.

Triumph’s racing domination was such that when Ekins won the same race the next year, 20 of the top 25 finishers were all on Triumphs.

KING OF THE CASTLE

T

his small, distinctive Lexus looks very much at home with the Riverstone castle as a backdrop.

So thoughts at the time were that this classy, nicely-sized, easy to drive UX could likely be entirely suitable transport for the resident royalty.

It was for us, when making an unexpected dash to Mosgiel.

For both ways the navigator, in this case the ‘Queen of Harts’ (Rowena) commented on the excellence of her white leather clad, nicely contoured front passenger seat.

The distinctive exterior, which I suggest gives the UX a touch of visual identity, arises through the combination of the latest version of Lexus’ signature grille, the sharp lines, pronounced mudguards and 18-inch alloys.

There’s seven different UX variants, including Limited and F Sport versions.

As well there’s the choice of front or all-wheel drive to suit various wants and needs.

Two of the seven have conventional power courtesy of 2-litre 126 kW/205 Nm petrol engines while the other five, as had the test 250h Limited, have self-charging petrol/hybrid electric powertrains.

With the combination of 2-litre petrol ‘Atkinson cycle’ engine and the hybrid systems battery/elecric motors contribution they are rated at 135 kW. Their e-CVT keeps the hybrid system working in its most effective state, meaning they are quick (and quiet) away from standstill around town and will as conditions allow, do 0-100kmh in just under 10seconds.

While selecting the Sport function was best on likes of Kilmog and Dunedin’s northern motorway, staying in Normal

while driving on the flat the hybrid system still delivers a nice quick overtaking response.

Going downhill and during some driving on flat terrain, both on the open road and about town, the system switches to electric power only.

The claimed combined fuel consumption is 4.5L/100 km. but with lots of hill and open road driving featuring in our journey, the trip computer showed 6.2L/100km.

The UX’s sit on the latest C platform, which Lexus say with its low centre of gravity provides a hatchback-like driving experience with easy manoeuvrability in the city and nimble handling on the open road.

It was certainly easy to drive about and park in Dunedin city.

On the open road, while the handling and cornering are perhaps more focused on the comfort side, the Limited proved to be suitably nimble and certainly both enjoyable and involving enough when required.

There was some tyre noise on the coarsest chip.

Of course those looking for the sportiest possible handling and performing UX will likely forgo some of the extra luxuries the Limited has (13-speaker Mark Levinson surround sound system; sunroof etc) and choose a similarlily costing 250h F Sport.

It has extra selectable drive modes including Sport S+, adaptive variable suspension; F Sport alloy wheels; even more contoured sports front seats with ventilation, steering wheel paddles and more.

But whichever UX it is the cabin presentation will be particularly smart with high quality trim materials and the

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

expected Lexus detail to fit and finish.

Combined with the white leather furnishings, (darker options are available) including the head lining and the large sun roof, the test car’s cabin was always a light and airy place for four (five at a pinch) to be.

While the dash has many different curves and angles, these all merge together very nicely.

The controls proved easy to find and straightforward to use.

Well, perhaps not so much the infotainment touch-pad, which initially was a tad frustrating.

Of course there’s a very high level of standard equipment, with lots of safety and driver aids.

The latter includes an excellent allspeed dynamic radar cruise control, a colour heads-up display, reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors; smart key entry 10.3 inch screen, sat-nav tenway driver and eight-way front passenger seat electric adjustment; dual zone climate air, rain sensing wipers and more.

Additional standard safety features for the entire UX range includes blind spot monitoring, autonomous emergency braking, rear cross traffic alert, night time pedestrian detection and daytime cyclist detection, the pre-collision

system, as well as lane tracing and road sign assists.

While the luggage space is said to hold just 220 litres, it seemed larger and was adequate for our travels.

There’s no spare wheel, just an inflation kit meaning there’s additional storage under the luggage area floor.

LEXUS UX 250H ■■ Costs: $72,990 – other UX from $59,990 to $75,990 (all +ORCs) ■■ Engine: 2.0-litre, 4 cylinder petrol/hybrid-135kW in total.

■■ Transmission: e-CVT and front-wheeldrive.

■■ Quoted Overall Economy: 4.5L/100km.

■■ Safety: 5 star ANCAP and a host of driver assistance/safety systems.

■■ Turning Circle: 10.4 metres.

■■ Warranty etc: transferrable 4-year unlimited warranty along with 4 years of full mantenance service/roadside assist. Plus the hybrid electric battery has an 8 year warranty

FINALE The Lexus UX range provides prestige small car buyers with the opportunity of a luxury, economical and easy to drive package for everyday use.

And particularly so if lots of regular stop-star driving is involved.

ew Zealand motorsport enthusiasts will now have the opportunity to view the new Jaguar XE SV Project 8, the world’s fastest production four-door sedan, which has arrived in the country.

With a starting price of $350,000, each of the 300 limited edition vehicles are hand-assembled and, have been described as the most powerful, agile and extreme performance Jaguar production car ever.

The All-Wheel Drive 600PS 5.0-litre Supercharged V8 petrol Project 8, which has a top speed of 320kmph and accelerates from 0-100kmph in just 3.4 seconds, set a new four-door production car record around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany – the gold standard for all-round high performance.

Its best lap of 7 min 21.23 sec was quicker than many supercars.

Jaguar Land Rover NZ general manager Steve Kenchington says they anticipate significant local interest from local enthusiasts.

“With a top speed of 320kmph, and a 5.0 litre supercharged V8 which can deliver maximum power

Friday, November 15, 2019

www.guardianonline.co.nz

of 600PS and torque of 700Nm, the Project 8 Supercar encapsulates Jaguar’s vision of the ultimate sports saloon “News of the vehicle’s pending arrival here has seen buyer interest from around New Zealand and the retailer roadshow is expected to give more potential customers the opportunity to experience the new model first hand,” he says.

Kenchington says the XE SV Project 8 will make its first appearance in Auckland from today before making its way around the country on a Jaguar retailer roadshow as well as Jaguar Land Rover’s SVO Day in December and the Art of Performance Tour in mid-February.

“New Zealand customers that may be interested in purchasing this limited production model should contact their local authorised retailer to register their interest,” he says.

A limited number of pre-specified Project 8s are available for prospective buyers to purchase in most markets, subject to terms and conditions. Specifications of the vehicles have been selected based on the most popular choices.

Mustangs and Route 66 – who could resist?

T

he Ford Mustang is recognised as one of America’s great brand legends, then the iconic Route 66 must be a close second.

What better then than to see these two great brands come together at the Ford National Mustang Convention 2020, with the announcement that Gilligans Route 66 Tours will be a key gold sponsor when 200 Mustangs gather at Te Pae Convention Centre Christchurch next October.

Sam Murray of Gilligans Tours, is

especially enthusiastic.

“Many Mustang owners, club members and enthusiasts from all over New Zealand have already travelled the world’s most famous highway driving Mustangs with Gilligans since 2014.

“Therefore supporting the 2020 Convention was a perfect fit for us.

“By partnering with this event, it’s not only our way of giving thanks to the club members who have shown their support to Gilligans, but it’s also an opportunity to showcase our tours to people who already

love Mustangs, but who perhaps haven’t yet considered spending 20 or more days driving a Mustang across the fabled Route 66”.

The Canterbury Mustang Owners Club, organiser of the 2020 Convention, is delighted to see these two great brands aligned through the Gilligan’s sponsorship.

Mike Dilger, Vice President, said “Gilligans’ sponsorship adds further energy to our organising efforts, and will certainly help us increase the profile and success of what is shaping up to be a great event at Te

Pae, Christchurch in 2020”.

The final word goes to Gilligans.

“If you own a Mustang, and you like driving, then the chances are you really enjoy a road trip.

“A Route 66 tour with Gilligans isn’t just about cars, neon signs, burgers, V8 engines and drive-thrus.

“It’s about the history and characters on the road, throughout the entire journey.

“If there is ever an ultimate road trip, Route 66 with us has gotta be on the list!”

The legend evolves

T

he name Thruxton is an internationally-acclaimed motorcycle racing icon, born from incredible success at the Thruxton 500 race and the Isle of Man TT, inspiring a whole generation of fanatical cafe racers.

Designed and developed to evolve the legend even further, the new Thruxton RS model combines all the original cafe racer design DNA and pure original style with modern Thruxton capability whilst setting a new level of performance with a higher power engine, even more supreme cafe racer handling, and even more contemporary styling, finish and detailing.

Higher power – updated Thruxton RS engine

The new Thruxton RS achieves 8PS more power than the previous Thruxton R. This is delivered by significant engine upgrades including high compression pistons, revised ports and cam profile, a secondary air system and a whole host of lighter weight engine components, including, low inertia crankshaft, clutch, balance shafts, Rare-Earth alternator, magnesium cam cover and thin walled engine covers.

Along with the higher power, the Thruxton RS also delivers higher torque punch low down and across the entire rev range, peaking at 112Nm @ 4850 rpm, 700 rpm lower than its predecessor.

Together, all these engine updates deliver a 20 per cent reduction of inertia and a new more responsive and characterful Thruxton RS engine that revs harder for longer, revving 500rpm higher than the Thruxton R. The Thruxton RS’ distinctive twin upswept silencers add an all-new Euro 5 spec catalytic converter which delivers lower emissions and that unmistakable sound of a British Racing Twin, with a rich and raw note that matches the bike’s legendary name.

Behind the stylish exterior sits a liquid cooling system, carefully integrated to minimise its visual impact and thanks to its Euro 5 homologation, the Thruxton RS achieves lower emissions and enhanced fuel efficiency.

Combined with a high first major service interval of 10,000 miles (16,000km), this contributes to a reduced overall cost of ownership.

Higher modern capability

The new Thruxton RS features a full suite of rider-focused technology to deliver advanced rider control and safety, plus enhanced rider confidence – sensitively integrated to maintain its iconic original cafe racer style and character.

Thruxton RS technology features include: Upgraded 3 riding modes linked to the ride-by-wire system, the upgraded three selectable riding modes, Sport, Road and Rain, now adjust throttle map, ABS and traction control settings to better suit the riding conditions or rider preference.

This is enabled via the latest generation ride by wire, which delivers enhanced rideability, safety and control.

The contemporary safety standard, with minimal visual impact, the ABS is responsive yet unobtrusive.

Switchable traction control manages the Thruxton RS’ high torque delivery when traction is compromised, the switchable system offers increased rider control.

DRL headlight is incorporated into the headlight, the LED daytime running light brings excellent visibility and a distinctive light profile.

Built into the cafe racer-inspired minimal tail set-up, the LED rear light brings a distinctive rear light pattern and excellent power efficiency.

The ride-by-wire enhances throttle responsiveness, safety and feel.

The clutch is torque-assisted for a lighter touch and feel to make it easier to ride, and ride longer.

Elegant switchgear presents simple fingertip controls for easy access to the key features on the twin clocks.

For maximum rider convenience, the USB charging socket charges riders’ essential devices.

Stylish twin clocks, beautifully detailed and premium, incorporate a digital menu system accessed by the handlebar mounted scroll button.

Significant weight savings across the

entire motorcycle make the Thruxton RS six kilograms lighter than the Thruxton R for an even more dynamic and agile ride – delivered by engine component refinements, and a lighter weight battery.

In addition to the weight saving, the Thruxton RS also features new category-leading Brembo 4-piston M50 radial monobloc calipers and twin floating Brembo front discs, delivering excellent stopping power, and new unique race-specification Metzeler Racetec RR super sticky tyres.

There are also race-bred adjustable Showa USD big piston forks and premium fully adjustable Öhlins piggy back reser-

voir rear shock, delivering an engaged and thrilling ride.

More modern and contemporary style A legendary name that has created motorcycling history and represented a generation of cafe racers, the Thruxton is a distinctive, beautiful and authentic motorcycle and the all-new RS version of it is the next evolution of this celebrated name.

With all of Triumph’s iconic original cafe racer DNA, married to a new blacked-out custom look, muscular poise and a host of beautifully designed premium features, the Thruxton RS is the most contemporary styled Thruxton ever.

■■PURDON POWER

Belle Of Montana back on track

By Garrick Knight Glamour mare Belle Of Montana makes a welcome resumption at Alexandra Park tonight.

Last season’s Filly of the Year has had two workouts in preparation for the race and trainer Barry Purdon says both he and driver Zachary Butcher have been satisfied with proceedings.

“Really happy,” he said.

“I think she may be a little bit vulnerable this week from a wide draw against some good ones, but she is there to win.”

After enjoying a good, and well-earned, winter spell, it took some extra work to get the daughter of Bettor’s Delight back in to race trim.

“She’s been pretty big in condition and isn’t quite there yet but is looking a picture.”

Belle Of Montana strikes a strong field over the mobile mile which includes the likes of Star Galleria, The Devils Own and her own stablemates, Havtime and On The Cards, who are both also resuming from spells.

Purdon believes On The Cards is the fittest of his trio and despite drawing the outside alley, probably presents as the best of his hopes in the race.

“He’s won both his trials and has gone good in doing so.

“He’s pretty forward for this week and it’s just the draw that will hurt his chances.”

Belle Of Montana is being set for next month’s Group 1 Queen of Hearts, where she will likely go head-to-head with her nemesis from last season, Princess Tiffany.

“After that, we’ll probably look across to Australia for the Ladyship Mile if she’s going good enough at the time.”

Purdon has gotten off to a rampant start this season, training 19 winners and 18 place-getters from just 60 starters and he is six clear of the next best northerner on the trainers’ premiership.

Accordingly, he has a very strong team in tonight and could easily go home with another three or four winners.

Asked for an indication on perhaps his strongest chance on the night, he looked towards maiden pacer Bettor Listen, who is

Trainer Barry Purdon having just his second start after an encouraging second on debut.

“He’s a nice horse and shouldn’t be a

maiden for much longer; I expect him to go a good race.

“Little Miss Perfect is fresh-up and might just need the run in what is quite a good field. We have Some Do in the same race and she’s a really nice filly, just not ideally drawn.”

Purdon is in Christchurch this week, firstly for Mach Shard’s New Zealand Cup tilt on Tuesday and now Wainui Creek’s $40,000 Mares Classic tilt today.

Mach Shard isn’t backing up after a disappointing run, where we dropped away from a perfect striking position on the point of the turn.

“We haven’t had the bloods back yet but he’s feeling a little bit down on himself.

“I think he’s just jarred up.

“It’s just one of those things you can’t do much about.”

The Racing Integrity Unit’s head harness steward, Nick Ydgren, said he was yet to be advised of any other horses having felt the effects of the track from Tuesday’s racing.

“We haven’t heard anything, good or bad, about the state of the track.”

Promising season goes pear-shaped for Sundees Son

By Michael Guerin This wasn’t how November was supposed to go for Sundees Son. The reigning Trotter of the Year was the one-time favourite for both Group One trots of Cup week in Christchurch and the Inter Dominions which start at Alexandra Park a fortnight today.

Now he is heading to the spelling paddock with his tail between his legs.

The freakishly-talented fiveyear-old galloped and subsequently lost all chance for the third race in a row in the NZ Trot Free-For-All at Addington on

Tuesday and was always unlikely to start in today’s $300,000 Dominion after that.

But trainers Robert and John Dunn have surrendered to Sundees Son’s niggling issues and have also pulled him out of the Inter Dominions and sent him for a two-month spell.

“We just can’t get him right,” said John Dunn.

“We keep patching him up and while his issue (fetlock joint) isn’t serious at all he has lost his confidence.

“He is only a young horse and we have to do the right thing by him so hopefully he can come

back for the big races in the autumn.”

While Sundees Son is out of the Dominion, hot favourite Oscar Bonavena still faces a huge task starting from the unruly in a capacity field, with his three main rivals in Marcoola (barrier one), Tough Monarch (six) and McLovin (10) all drawn the front line.

The Dunns will have two reps in the $200,000 NZ Pacing Free-ForAll and luckless NZ Cup placegetter Classie Brigade drawn the ace.

“I am not sure he would have won the Cup had we got clearer earlier but he would have got a

lot closer,” Dunn says of Tuesday’s third.

Dunn says he has the gate speed to try and lead today’s 1980m Group One and if he was able to hold the front early he would want to stay there, as he did in the Kaikoura Cup 10 days ago.

“But it may not be that easy.

Cruz Bromac gets off the gate really fast, but I will be trying to hold him.”

Cruz Bromac (six) has drawn inside Spankem (seven) and the tactics of that pair, who led and won the NZ Free-For-All and Miracle Mile respectively last season, will play a huge role in today’s result.

■■RUGBY

All or nothing for Razor Crusaders coach Scott Robertson says he wants the All Blacks head coaching role or nothing at all.

Robertson is one of the front-runners to be the next All Blacks coach and has confirmed he has his job interview with New Zealand Rugby (NZR) lined up for December.

The Super Rugby title-winning coach said he only had interest in the All Blacks top job and would not consider an assistant role with the national side.

NZR reached out to 26 prospective candidates to replace outgoing coach Steve Hansen.

Robertson said he was currently “doing two jobs” as he prepared a new-look Crusaders side for a Super Rugby title defence as well as get himself ready to face the All Blacks coaching appointments panel.

Should Robertson be named as All Blacks coach he said he would leave the Crusaders after three years in charge.

“It’s [All Blacks head coach] obviously is one of the biggest jobs in world rugby so someone would have to take over the Crusaders for sure.”

To fill the void, Robertson said the Crusaders, who kick off their Super Rugby campaign on February 1, had a plan in place.

“We’ve got a great foundation there that we can build off ... we’ve been diligent on working on a contingency if I also get the All Black role and the planning is going well there.”

However, Robertson would not confirm if the Crusaders head coach role would then be passed on to one of his current assistant coaches.

NZR chairman Brent Impey said the All Blacks coach appointments panel would put an emphasis on the coaching team each applicant assembled.

Robertson had reached out to Japan assistant coach Tony Brown to join his coaching team, but the former All Black turned him down, opting instead to back Japan coach Jamie Joseph in his push for the All Blacks coaching role.

“Tony made his call, it was a tough phone call to take.

“We’d planned for a while to work together, he’s shown his hand with Jamie and shown his loyalties, I appreciate it was a tough call for him to make to me,” Robertson said.

Just who Robertson has now enlisted as his potential assistant coaches is not clear.

“That’s part of the game, you have conversations with people

and you work out the best options for yourself and who is going to be best for the team.”

Robertson would not change his style for the All Blacks role.

“I’ve got my formula, I’ve worked really hard from coaching schoolboy rugby through club rugby to Super Rugby so all the learnings along the way can help me in my quest to be the All Black coach.”

The coaching appointment

panel includes, incoming NZR chief executive Mark Robinson, NZ Rugby head of High Performance Mike Anthony, former All Blacks coach Sir Graham Henry and former Silver Ferns coach and High Performance Sport New Zealand director, Waimarama Taumaunu.

Around 12 players would also have input on the appointment.

NZR aims to name the next coach by Christmas.

Why Mitchell turned down role with the Chiefs NZME Former All Blacks coach John Mitchell has revealed he turned down the chance to join the Chiefs next year in a role he believed would lead to him assuming the

reins in Warren Gatland’s absence.

Mitchell’s former Waikato teammate Gatland is in the process of returning home from Wales to coach the Chiefs from next season – and it turns out the pair could have again joined forces.

Gatland has been granted a sabbatical in his four-year deal with the Chiefs which will allow him to skip one Super Rugby season to lead the British and Irish Lions on their tour of South Africa in 2021.

leaves the Chiefs searching for a suitable mentor capable of guiding the team through the 2021 season.

Mitchell, the former Chiefs and All Blacks head coach, accepted a two-year contract extension pri-

or to the World Cup to stay on as England defence coach under Eddie Jones.

Mitchell and Jones are preparing the Barbarians side to meet the Fijians at Twickenham this weekend.

Reid to skipper All Whites

Eight-year ban on the line for Yang

All Whites coach Danny Hay has confirmed that Winston Reid will captain the side in their friendly against Ireland in Dublin today.

The West Ham defender is returning to competitive football after 18 months on the sideline through injury.

However his fellow English Premier League star Chris Wood is in doubt for the match after missing training yesterday.

Hay says Wood had a slight leg niggle and that the striker would be given until game day to decide his availability.

“We just need to see how he pulls up, we won’t take any unnecessary risks, we understand that this is a friendly, but Chris is desperate to play,” Hay said.

Reid, who hasn’t been a part of the team for a couple of years, says he’s enjoyed being back with the squad.

“We’ve trained well this week and we’re looking forward to the game tomorrow.”

I’ve been out for a while so it’s about not taking unnecessary risks, but I’m healthy, otherwise I wouldn’t be here,” said Reid.

Hay says he had no hesitation in giving the armband back to Reid.

“He holds a huge amount of respect and mana amongst the group.

“I just look at the way the young players respond to his presence in the environment, it’s massive, it’s a big big plus.”

Today’s game will also be Hay’s first game in charge of the All Whites, who haven’t played since June last year.

Winston Reid is enjoying being back in the All Whites’ squad.

■■OPINION

NZ board a hotbed of conservatism

By Patrick McKendry

I

t has been scientifically proven, almost, that entire glaciers have moved quicker than the New Zealand Rugby board, an entity which voted in its first female representative – Farah Palmer – only three years ago, and, traditionally at least, has tended to find comfort in the status quo.

Things are changing, but slowly.

Palmer brings a welcome new perspective to the board, as does former All Black Sir Michael Jones, who holds Samoan matai chief titles of Savae and La’auli, and credit too must go to chairman Brent Impey in particular for his work around the Respect and Responsibility review of the game when it was at a low ebb here following the Chiefs stripper scandal in 2016.

And yet, as the clock ticks down to the selection of Steve Hansen’s replacement as All Blacks head coach – the first interviews will be held early next month and a decision made hopefully by Christmas – there may be a concern among supporters of Scott Robertson that the man known as Razor, and famous worldwide for his breakdancing celebrations and occasionally quirky humour, won’t get a fair hearing from a conservative board.

The All Blacks coaching interviewing panel of Impey, Sir Graham Henry, Mark Robin-

son, Waimarama Taumaunu and Mike Anthony will almost certainly take open minds into the process which will include Dave Rennie, Ian Foster and Jamie Joseph as other leading candidates.

But will the board actually sign off on the panel’s recommendation?

They may take a different view, and if it is because of that inherent conservatism that would be a massive mistake.

Robertson, the surfer dude who lives by the beach, has always been a bit different.

Wayne Smith, one of his most trusted mentors, revealed recently that when Robertson began coaching the Sumner senior club side he took a video camera around the suburb highlighting its nicest attributes in order to instill some pride into his players.

They won the championship that year.

He was also wildly successful with Canterbury, won a world championship as head coach of the New Zealand Under-20s, and a perfect three from three Super Rugby titles with the Crusaders.

He is a charismatic character but the hair and the quips – “I was hoping for a singlet with a collar actually”, he said when complimented on his Hawaiian shirt at the recent New Zealand Super Rugby launch in Auckland – the breakdancing, the skateboarding, the occasional “wow” in press conferences, can

Sir Michael Jones is a big part of the newer look around the New Zealand Rugby board table.

all serve to distract from what makes Robertson so good at his job.

And that’s his way with people, his attention to detail, his ability to pass on information in different ways depending on the individual, his rugby nous and his knack for bring a group of competitive people together and keeping them there.

In other words, don’t be fooled.

Robertson may appear laid

back, but he’s incredibly intense when it comes to his job.

Hopefully, the NZR board will understand that as well as the initial panel almost certainly will, because his interview with the Crusaders when he applied to be Todd Blackadder’s successor apparently blew every other applicant out of the water.

Here’s Blues head coach Leon MacDonald talking about a former team-mate and a man with whom he coached the Crusaders before leaving for Tasman and ending up in Auckland.

“Razor is hard-working,” MacDonald told me on Wednesday.

“He puts a lot of time into everything he does, and he does everything thoroughly.

“You might be fooled into thinking he flies by the seat of his pants but it’s nothing of the sort with Razor.

“He’s very meticulous with his planning.

“I think his balance is what a lot of coaches don’t have.

“He can turn off and have fun; he does that with his surfing and use of humour around the place.

“We could probably all learn a little bit from him.”

One last thing.

If Robertson doesn’t get the job he will likely serve out his remaining two years with the Crusaders and then go overseas with wife Jane and their three sons.

A coaching jewel will be lost to New Zealand indefinitely.

That’s probably worth thinking about too.

One of China’s biggest Olympic stars will undergo a rare public hearing in a doping case today with his 2020 Tokyo Games place at stake.

Three-time gold medallist swimmer Sun Yang is facing a World Anti-Doping Agency appeal in Switzerland that seeks to ban him for up to eight years for allegedly refusing to give samples voluntarily.

The case is notorious for a vial of his blood being smashed with a hammer by his bodyguard. Sun allegedly helped by lighting the scene with his cellphone.

It’s a colourful detail of a latenight dispute between Sun’s entourage and officials trying to take blood and urine samples after visiting his home in China.

However, much of the case hangs on protocol and paperwork: Did the three anti-doping officials in China conduct themselves properly and have correct authorisation documents to make their September 2018 visit valid?

A tribunal appointed by world swim body FINA sided with Sun and merely warned him – though noted “it was a close-run thing”.

“It is safe to describe the entire (visit) as problematic, highly unusual and, at times, confrontational,” the FINA panel wrote in a 59page ruling, also noting “troubling and rather aggressive” conduct by Sun and his entourage.

WADA believes Sun violated rules by refusing to provide samples requested on a properly scheduled visit.

The agency challenged the FINA panel’s verdict with the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Sun countered by opting to have evidence and testimony aired in a first open-court CAS hearing for 20 years.

More than 100 media are expected at a Swiss lakeside hotel in the upscale, jazz festival city of Montreux.

An online live stream will intrigue lawyers monitoring worldwide.

“It’s a pity we can’t sell tickets,” remarked John Coates, president of the CAS management board.

“There’s massive interest in it.”

Sun Yank’s medal record ranks with swimming’s greats and his fame at home is as big as Yao Ming’s, the former Houston Rockets centre.

The 2-metre tall (6-foot-7) Sun is the first Chinese man to win Olympic gold in swimming, in 400 meters freestyle at the 2012 London Games.

His 11 world titles include the 200 and 400 freestyle in July that provoked anger in opponents.

Medallists Mack Horton of Australia and Duncan Scott of Britain refused to stand with him on the podium in South Korea.

Horton went as far as accusing Sun of being a cheat as rivalries flared at the 2016 Olympics, and bad feeling continued into the 2019 worlds.

19th a popular hole

Among those taking to the fairways and greens at the Tinwald Golf Club on Saturday for the 19th Hole Tournament on Saturday, was Bill Mason. It was played in warm but windy conditions, and Dave Morrison and Ryan Jamison handled the conditions the best, taking the annual tournament out. In the mixed section, the winners were Elizabeth and Bruce Collins.

■■SQUASH

Coll charges into semis New Zealand squash pro, Paul Coll has become the first Kiwi since the legendary Ross Norman in 1988 to reach the semi-finals of the Men’s World Squash Championship.

The world number five from Greymouth beat Egypt’s Zahed Salem in straight games in Doha, Qatar.

Coll came through a brutal 119-minute epic against 2015 runner-up Omar Mosaad in the previous round but showed very few signs of physical discomfort as he completed an 11-8, 11-9, 11-6 victory in 47 minutes.

Coll’s short game has improved drastically since hooking up with renowned coach Rob Owen in the summer, and while the majority of his points in game one came as a result of errors from Salem, he was firing in winners in games two and three to book his spot in the last four.

Salem achieved one of the biggest wins of his career against World No.9 Miguel Rodriguez in round three, but he lacked the dynamism that saw him upset the Colombian and Coll picked

him off to set up a semi-final meeting with either 2017 World Champion Mohamed ElShorbagy or his younger brother and 2017 runner-up Marwan.

“I’m very happy to be in the semi-finals of a World Champs, it was something that was a minimum goal going into the tournament,” said Coll.

“I’ve got to put that behind me now, even though I’m very happy

to be in the semi-finals, I don’t want to stop there.

“I’ve just got to regroup after this, enjoy the moment while it lasts and watch the match later.

“I just wanted to dominate today.

“Yesterday I felt like I got a bit dominated and my natural game was taken away from me, so I wanted to step up today and really take the game to Zahed.

“He had a tough match yesterday as well, so I knew it was going to be about who could dominate today. I feel like I did that for most of the game which got me over the line.

“They’re [the ElShorbagy brothers] both quality players, I just hope it takes about three hours and then tomorrow I’ll play whoever wins,” said the 27-yearold Coll.

■■GOLF

Black mambas a hazard NZME Qualifying for the season ending European tour championship in Dubai is one of golfer Ryan Fox’s main aims in South Africa this week.

The other is surviving on a golf course which is also home to the lethal black mamba snake.

The Nebank Golf Challenge at Sun City gets the golfers close up with a variety of animals.

But the black mamba is something else.

It is one of the world’s most venomous snakes, and grows to a massive three metres.

“It’s a pretty nasty golf course, with bush pretty much both sides of every hole which is infested with black mamba snakes which is not a whole lot of fun in there,” said Fox. “It is quite nice that you can see elephants from the golf course, there are warthogs on the course and lots of other animals.

It’s just the snakes you don’t want to see.

“No one goes in (to the bush), you just re-load, it’s pretty ugly in in there.

“Even if you do find it you don’t want to try to hit out of it.”

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You don’t care who gets credit, you just want the thing done. Because of this practical, egoless approach, you’ll be quite effective in executing the action that propels things forward.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): The same actions will take on different qualities than they once had.

Taxing work becomes exciting opportunity.

Tensions transform to attractions. Irritations become action items.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You don’t need persuasion to do things you enjoy. If you find yourself struggling to maintain the discipline to complete an action, maybe it’s not discipline you really need. Look for pleasure instead.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Filmmakers turn money into stories. Songwriters turn it into music.

Investors turn it into jobs, or, perhaps just into more money. For you, it’s not about the dollars but what you can do with them.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): It will be interesting and fun to solicit ideas about your work and routines.

Most of what you get will be unusable. Yet they’ll still build a bond that’s worth the price of admission.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): One thing about you that doesn’t get acknowledged enough is your bravery.

Recognising what little control a person has in this big world, you go forward regardless, handling things all the way. Good on you.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): While every circle could use outside influences, today’s main enjoyment will be connecting with people who know the same references, history and culture and have a few similar opinions about it.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): If you always did whatever the group was into at the moment, you’d make no impact and have no legacy. The same would be true if you never did it. You’ll be on trend today, though you can drop off at any time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Most people want to improve, though it’s unlikely that everything will change simultaneously. As for you, the one thing you choose to work on will bring you luck and success in other areas as well.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): With your many talents, you sometimes hold back, making sure others get their chance in the sun. It will feel quite refreshing to have the attention on someone else for a while.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You won’t mind the hubbub of a crowd today, perhaps because you correctly sense there’s an opportunity to find what you’re looking for in a group of strangers.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): What would you plan for the future if you knew you would arrive much improved? Such things don’t always happen in a straightforward way with a cumulative effect. But consistent movement makes progress inevitable.

GO GEORGIE BOY! Champion reinsman Ricky May made it a good day for the locals in race two at the Ashburton Trotting Club’s cup week meeting yesterday, steering home Georgie Zukov for local trainer Ben Waldron. After a trio of top five finishes against strong maiden opposition, May was able to roll in to the lead from barrier two with the sone of Auckland Reactor and was never headed, getting away with a few easy sectionals before a tidy sprint up the straight. Waldron will be hoping Queen Bee Bardon can emulate her stablemate today at Addington when she takes part in the Listed Nevele R Sires’ Stakes Southern Mares Classic, one of the three feature races of the day.

Warriors’ star close to deal with NRL rivals Issac Luke is set to continue his NRL career at the Dragons.

The NZ Herald understands that the former Kiwis hooker, who was cut by the Warriors at the end of last season, is close to signing a

deal with the Sydney club.

Over the past two months he has been linked with Manly, Parramatta and the Wests Tigers but his new home will be the joint venture club that represents the

south coast of Sydney.

Cameron McInnes is their starting hooker, but he has indicated a desire to spend some time in the No. 13 jersey next season.

That would give Luke a role as

back-up, and potentially a scenario where they are both on the field at the same time.

It’s a good move for Luke.

He wanted to stay in the NRL, but cap issues were complicating

the situation for several clubs.

There was also interest from some Super League franchises, but Luke’s first choice was to stay playing league in the southern hemisphere.
