Locals back St John

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ratepayers are calling on Ashburton’s district councillors to stop stalling, stop making excuses and to do a deal with St John over the future ownership of a Burnett Street section.

St John needs the councilowned section to access the rear of its Tancred Street headquarters.

It plans to extend that building to accommodate extra ambulances and staff but needs access over the section for returning ambulances.

If it can’t have guaranteed access, it’s likely to relocate away from the town centre.

The council and St John have been in discussions over a possible lease or sale of the section since June. Nothing has hap-

pened.

At a meeting to which all councillors were invited, but just three and mayor Donna Favel turned up, St John staff made it clear they couldn’t pay market price for the land but without it they couldn’t extend their building.

A story in Thursday’s Guardian drew a huge response from readers. Virtually every commentator

was critical of the council and virtually every one made it clear the land should either be gifted to St John or leased, long term, for a peppercorn rental.

Councillor Selwyn Price was at the meeting and he is one councillor who was prepared to nail his colours to the mast early in the St John debate. He’s made no secret of his first choice outcome – gift

■ WOOD AND CLAY EXHIBITION

Exhibition a combined effort

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

Some of Ashburton’s top pottery and woodturning will be on display over the next week as part of a collaborative exhibition.

Hakatere Ceramics and the Ashburton Woodworkers have combined, along with two special guests, to produce a display of about 260 works.

Exhibition team member and a potter herself, Alison Jackson said the exhibition came around through many members of the pottery group having husbands who are part of the woodworkers.

“We have had our own exhibition every year, but the woodworkers often don’t get to show their work so this is a good opportunity for them,” she said.

The event began with an invitation-only opening night yesterday, with the exhibition now open to the public until Thursday.

Rex Marshall, a woodturner from Christchurch, and Stephen Robertson, a potter from Nelson, have provided pieces for the display.

“He (Marshall) uses a lot of different mediums and styles for his pieces which are always interesting, while Robertson has a very particular style with the glaze crackling which is just stunning,” Jackson said.

A majority of the pieces will be available for purchase if not sold on the opening night, and the pieces will be judged in competition.

“There is a lot of beautiful craftsmanship on display and I think the wood and clay really complement each other and work well together with both of them coming from the ground,” Jackson said.

For pottery works it can often take weeks to complete the process, Jackson said, and if it does not come out right, you have to start all over again.

In previous years in their own exhibitions, Jackson said they get visitors in their hundreds, but is hoping that with the combined exhibition, they will attract even more people.

The exhibition is located at 108 Victoria Street, and will be open from 10am to 4pm daily.

Locals give their support to St John From P1 “The last thing I want to see is the community having to fundraise for St John to buy something that ratepayers already own,” he said.

In every instance the council should listen to community opinion, Price said, and on the face of it what the community was saying was sensible, he said.

“And like a lot of people, I’m concerned about securing this land for them, it’s an obvious section for them to use as they’ve already invested a lot of money in the site.”

Mayor Favel is not so sure about giving away council owned land.

She’s more concerned about the way St John is funded – 70 per cent by the Ministry of Health with the remaining 30 per cent coming from its own fundraising efforts.

She would prefer to see the council advocating to the ministry to ensure St John is adequately funded.

“We have a willing buyer and a willing seller, but for the council to be a willing seller we need to be better informed. If the community is saying give the land to them,

how do we manage this?”

Favel said she understood that council’s wheels moved slowly and that this was frustrating for St John as the organisation needed answers now.

“We have our timeframe and we have to dot our i’s and cross our t’s and be good custodians of ratepayers’ property. I don’t want to put a view forward now when the correct place to do this is the debating chamber,” she said.

Until council staff provided answers on the status of the land the issue would ‘lie on the table’, Favel said.

COMMENTS FROM FACEBOOK “The council needs to be behind this wonderful essential service …”

“I can’t believe what I have just read. Come on ADC make it work for St John.”

“This is a joke, like our council give the land to St John, it’s not rocket science.”

“The council needs to support St John and stop stalling on a decision. They are just making excuses …”

“Not all heroes wear capes …”

“It’s a no-brainer to gift the land to St John’s. It’s about the people not the council’s bank bal-

ance, they waste enough money on ridiculous things round the town that surely it wouldn’t be a biggy to gift this land.”

“Council get your heads out of your butts and do what’s right.

Gift the land to the people who work hard to be there for everyone.”

“What on earth is wrong with ADC. Everyone at some stage has someone who needs an ambulance. St John does a fantastic service, we couldn’t do without them. For goodness sake ADC give them the land so they can continue their fantastic service.”

■ NEW ZEALAND AGRICULTURAL SHOW

Good genes pay off in show, sale rings

BY TIM CRONSHAW

TIM.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

No one can accuse suffolk breeders Norman and Margaret Carr of standing still.

The Mayfield couple like to tweak the breeding and managing of their Omagh Suffolk Stud to keep pace with modern farming and this year is no different.

They were in Christchurch yesterday for the New Zealand Agricultural Show, formerly known as the Canterbury A&P Show, with half of their attention focused on the events unfolding in the judging ring and the other half on their coming sale.

For the past three years they have run the sale on their farm and prior to that ran it in Mayfield, one year at the showgrounds and another year at the tavern, which was popular with the tourists.

The November 27 sale will again be held at their farm, but for the first time the catalogue will only include their suffolks and sufftex.

“This year we have put the ewe hoggets in and it’s the first year we have been solely on our own,’’ said Norman Carr.

“We have always had another breed with us, but we have gone alone and put the hoggets in to make the numbers.’’

Carr said there had been a lot of interest in the ewes from suffolk breeders to add new bloodlines and commercial farmers traditionally sought the rams for their flocks.

In the catalogue will be 45 suffolk ram hoggets, 30 sufftex ram hoggets and 25 first shear suffolk ewe hoggets.

Several years ago their sheep and beef farm was converted by their son Andrew and partner Sarah to a spray irrigated dairying operation.

The senior Carrs passed the farm baton, but kept the stud going because it has been an interest of theirs since it began in 1976.

“We are not in the dairy farm and it gives us something to get up in the morning,’’ said Carr.

“We have had the stud since

Margaret and Norman Carr at the New Zealand Agricultural Show in Christchurch this week. we need more ewes to get more lambs.’’ From their purebred flock of 120 ewes they sell about 75 rams a year.

They put a texel ram over their older suffolk ewes to get sufftex which have been popular with North Island farmers.

In times past they used to sell 100 rams in the Mayfield area, but have to go further afield to make sales.

In the past two years about 50 of the 75 rams sold have gone to

the 1970s and it has taken a long time to get the genetics to where they are and we don’t want to give them up too easily.’’

He said they were happy that their son had followed his own farming path and sheep farming was barely paying its way when the farm was converted.

More lately lamb prices have risen to their delight.

“There is an awful lot of interest in fattening lambs, but we are still lacking in ewe numbers and

the North Island. The other rams are taken by farmers in the Mid Canterbury foothills and in Central Otago.

They like to attend the major shows including stud fairs in Feilding and Christchurch to meet up with other farmers and it often pays off.

They have sold rams for $7000 at the Feilding fair and $5000 at the Christchurch show. Last year they sold rams for $4000 and $3000 at Fielding.

Their suffolks have topped the suffolk ram class at the Feilding fair for the past three years.

They have returned from the Christchurch show with their fair share of ribbons, winning the Miss Canterbury competition in 2013 and 2016 and the champion suffolk in 2011 with Omagh 22510.

Carr said their breeding aim was to produce high yielding, fast maturing and heavier lambs by using good genetics.

■ MUKA YOUTH PRINTS

In brief

Encouraging youth into art ownership

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

The youth of Ashburton have had the chance to take their first steps into the world of art through Muka Youth Prints.

The initiative is organised by the Muka Gallery, which was established by Belgian couple Frans Baetens and Magda Van Gils.

Baetens said when showing the big and expensive works of famous artists, they also sold smaller pieces that had errors or other issues.

The pair then requested from artists that they make smaller, original pieces to sell on.

The artists agreed, but imposed one condition, that the works could only be selected by children and without an adult’s help.

“The moment you have a real work of art in your room that you selected it is part of your world,” Baetens said.

“Art is important for a lot of children and this is the main door into a rich world.”

The collection contains a wide range of works from both New Zealand and international art-

Fake sparks evacuation An emergency evacuation at Auckland’s International Mail Centre yesterday was triggered by a fake grenade. Emergency services responded to a report of a suspicious package at the mail centre at Auckland Airport around 2.30pm yesterday. A NZ Post spokeswoman said the mail centre was evacuated briefly after the package was detected. “The package was found to be a fake grenade turned into a key ring,” she said. Staff were given the all clear and were back in the building by 3.40pm.

Settled weather over

Kohanga makes a difference

The warm, settled weather that New Zealand has enjoyed for the past few days is set to leave us, with a stormy, cold front on the horizon.

This week has seen temperatures in the high twenties, and summerlike quantities of sunshine hours, however, next week will begin with cold southerlies and snow. A front edging up from the south will move over the western South Island on Saturday, then a cold southerly will spread up the east on Sunday and make ground over the North Island. This will mean increasing cloud, with a spell of rain just about everywhere as the front moves up the country.

■ ASHBURTON COLLEGE

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

One year down the track, Ashburton College principal Ross Preece is hailing the school’s innovative Kohanga programme for Year 9 and 10 students as a major success.

Kohanga (the nest) was established to meet the needs of a small number of Year 9 and 10 students who struggled to meet the learning and social needs of the secondary school system.

Preece said the Kohanga system allowed those students to spend most of their class time in one room with one teacher and some impressive outcomes were

being achieved.

The objective was to keep the students engaged in learning and if possible have them return to mainstream education.

For several, by Year 10 about 50 per cent of their subjects were now taken as part of a mainstream class, he said.

“The great thing to see is these kids are attending class regularly and to know they’re well supported.”

The Advance Ashburton Foundation had been a huge help in staffing Kohanga, paying 50 per cent of the teacher’s salary and providing $10,000 for learning resources, Preece said.

For the students involved, Kohanga was about more than learning, it was also about seeing that the system was prepared to put time and effort into their learning, he said.

“If you give these students nothing, then they’ll become youth crime statistics in five years’ time.

Success could be measured in seeing all of last year’s Year 9 students move on to Year 10 and the Year 10 students staying engaged in education into Year 11.

Some who were school leaving age moved on to the YMCA classes and that meant they were still in education, Preece said.

Two people have been arrested in relation to a trailer theft which was full of tourists’ luggage on Saturday night in Christchurch.

A 31-year-old man and a 24-yearold woman have been charged with theft in relation to the incident by Christchurch Police.

Only a small amount of the missing luggage has been found, the majority of the property is still missing a police spokesperson said. “Anyone who has any information on the property is asked to contact Christchurch Police on (03) 363 7400,” the spokesperson said.

Youth councillors going places Donna Favel

MAYOR’S MESSAGE

I

was delighted to recently see the wonderful accomplishments achieved by our local youth in the end of year school prizegivings around the district.

It’s always wonderful to see our young people doing so well and having their efforts recognised, and I’d like to congratulate them all on a job well done.

In particular, I note that a number of past and present Ashburton Youth Councillors (AYC) were among the recipients of some outstanding awards which, coupled with a variety of other extracurricular achievements made throughout the year, really demonstrates the positive direction this special youth committee sets its members along.

At Mount Hutt College, I was thrilled to see 2017 Youth Councillor, Alisa Ikenaga awarded the Rotary Club of Ashburton and Philip Wareing Ltd Cup Dux. She also won Excellence in Art and Media Studies (Distance Learning). Also from Mount Hutt, current AYC member, Hine Wairepo received the Zonta Community Service Award and Methven Masonic Lodge Good Citizenship Award.

From Ashburton College, Chriza Cayanan was named Dux, and her fellow Youth Councillor (and

Ashburton Youth Council 2018 with Kiwi singer-song writer, Jamie McDell at Bite Nite 2.0. one of the AYC co-chairs) Artem Kravchenko was proxime accessit dux. Earlier this year, Artem won the Andrew Falloon MP Supreme Youth for Ashburton Award at the YMCA Canterbury Youth Awards.

Also outside of school achievements, I was proud to see AYC member Jessica Timmo announced as MP Jo Luxton’s Youth MP to take part in the Youth Parliament programme that happens once every three years.

Youth Parliament is an opportunity for young people to learn first-hand about New Zealand’s democracy and to influence decision-making. Jessica will be heading to Wellington in July 2019

to take part in the programme.

All of these outstanding efforts demonstrate the determination and community-mindedness of the people who at some stage have called themselves Ashburton Youth Councillors. It shows how beneficial it is for young people to commit themselves to a group of like-minded individuals working to make our district an even better place for young people to live in.

You are surrounded by people who want to see you do your best, and who provide you with opportunities to develop your skills, work on activities or projects that you’re passionate about,

and make a real difference in our community.

In this setting, you learn invaluable lessons that can be transferred to other areas of your life, such as time management, team work, diplomacy and problemsolving, and the importance of always trying your best.

AYC are currently seeking members to join their team for 2019. If you’re a young person aged 15 to 24 (you don’t need to be at school to be a member), or you know someone who you think would be an excellent addition to the team, please get an application in by Friday, December 21, 2018.

Signing up for this group who brought us Bite Nite 2.0, raised donations for local youth charities and provided a voice for young people this year could be the initiative that helps drive your thirst to achieve and excel.

Application forms are available on the council website ashburtondc.govt.nz/AYC Thank you to the 2018 team of Ashburton Youth Councillors.

You’ve been outstanding and our community has been well served.

Due to a Guardian error, the Mayor’s Column failed to run on its usual day of Wednesday. We apologise for this error.

Ashburton District house prices hit speed bump

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The median price of houses sold in the Ashburton District in October is all bad news for sellers.

Compared to September, house prices slipped 3 per cent to $325,000 down from $335,000 in September and a huge 11 per cent down on October 2017.

For the first time in many years, Ashburton’s median price is now below Timaru’s. In losing ground on the previous month, in Canterbury it was only joined by Waimate. In October 49 houses changed hands in the district compared to 45 in September and 36 in October last year.

Ashburton may have had a

price slump, but the Canterbury market, however, continued to perform well, REINZ regional director Jim Davis said.

A new record median price for the region was set at $465,000, up 3 per cent on October.

“It was positive to see the increase of new listings and total inventory as there has been a good

The choir received a standing ovation at the end.

“As always, the soloists were stunning in their interpretation and singing of their arias,” said manager Carol Gunn.

“Musical director Martin Setchell was an absolute joy to work with through eight weeks of rehearsal, and along with organist Douglas Mews, ensured the whole performance went really well.”

Court erupts in brawl A violent brawl at the Christchurch District Court yesterday was a direct result of the ongoing employment dispute between the Ministry of Justice and court staff, says the New Zealand Law Society.

The incident came as a man appeared in court over the fatal shooting of a King Cobra gang member.

“From being disruptive of court hearings, this situation has now shown that the safety of people attending the court is at increased risk,” New Zealand Law Society president Kathryn Beck said following the clash.

“The lawyer for a defendant who was required to appear in court became aware earlier this week that gang members hostile to him were likely to be present. The industrial action meant the lawyer was unable to request an appearance by audio visual link (AVL). She firmly believes that given the circumstances an AVL application would have been granted and the violence would not have occurred in the courtroom.”

However, Public Service Association (PSA) national organiser Brendon Lane

told the Herald previous appearances for the case had been held in closed courts because of the security threat King Cobra members posed.

Yesterday’s hearing was directed by the judge to be held in open court, the union representative said.

Chief District Court Judge Jan-Marie Doogue earlier said, as a result of the industrial action, judges are asking for prisoners to be brought to court in person when AVL is not supported due to striking staff.

The Ministry of Justice’s chief operating officer, Carl Crafar, said the ministry is concerned about the safety, security and wellbeing of those in court.

“We always ensure that plans are in place to manage risks. In this case there were three court security officers in the courtroom and a heightened police presence given the assessed risks associated with the appearance,” he said.

Yesterday’s incident comes after the Employment Court at Auckland dismissed an injunction application by the Ministry of Justice to stop short-notice

“lightning strikes” by PSA members because of safety concerns.

Crafar earlier told the Herald the ministry had “serious concerns” about the health and safety risks of the lightning strikes.

“We have taken this action as we feel we have been left with no other choice to ensure the safety of our staff, the public and the judiciary,” he said.

“We consider the PSA’s decision to strike with only 30 minutes’ notice at crowded and busy courts to be unlawful, unsafe and irresponsible.

“We will do everything we can to protect everyone working in or visiting our courthouses.”

This week, staff at New Zealand’s biggest and busiest District Courts also said they will refuse to serve, check and sign legal documents for nearly a month, creating a logjam of adjourned cases.

The PSA initially sought a pay increase of more than 13 per cent, more than double the ministry’s budget, but have subsequently reduced their claim to 11 per cent.

Charged over sexual assaults Three men were arrested yesterday following an investigation into drugging and sexual assaults relating to a Christchurch inner city bar and restaurant.

Police executed a number of search warrants in the city yesterday and three men, aged 33, 34 and 36, were arrested.

The trio are facing charges of supplying a class B controlled drug, stupefying, rape, and unlawful sexual connection.

They were due to appear in Christchurch District Court yesterday afternoon.

Detective Senior Sergeant Scott Anderson of the Canterbury Adult Sexual Assault Team said the case highlighted the importance of taking care of each other when on a night out.

“It’s crucial that when you are out socialising, you keep an eye on your drink and stay on guard for this type of criminal activity,” he said.

“But it’s also really important to look after your mates – if anyone feels drowsy or suddenly ‘out of it’, take them to a safe place, and don’t leave them alone.”

As the matter is now before the courts, police are unable to comment further.

■ AUSTRALIA

Terror plot foiled A suspicious purchase and quick-thinking Bunnings employees helped to stop what could have been Australia’s most devastating terror attack.

Ahmed Mohamed, a young man who had grown up in Melbourne, entered a Broadmeadows Bunnings store in December 2016 and made a single purchase that raised alarm bells with the staff.

He bought 700 nail-gun cartridges filled with gunpowder, which were kept behind a locked counter in the hardware store, The Age reported.

This was the only thing Mohamed bought but it made staff suspicious enough to follow him back to his car and take down his licence plate details.

The details were handed over to police but employees had no idea at the time just how many lives this piece of information may have helped save, news.com.au reports.

The federal police were already aware of Mohamed, now 25, and were tracking his behaviour closely, along with his friends Hamza Abbas, 23, and Abdullah Chaarani, 27.

The trio were found guilty by the Supreme Court on November 2 of acts in preparation for an attack targeting Federation Square, St Paul’s Cathedral and Flinders St station in December 2016.

The verdict, made public yesterday after legal delays, followed seven days of deliberations in the jury room and eight weeks of evidence including from Hamza’s older brother Ibrahim Abbas, 24, who confessed his involvement to police and pleaded guilty earlier this year.

Mohamed and Chaarani laughed and chatted to each other between the individual verdicts. Both nodded slowly and looked indifferent as the guilty decision was given.

As they were removed from the dock, Mohamed gave his family a big grin, while Hamza gave his a thumbs-up.

Police left court carrying two machetes Chaarani and Ibrahim bought in preparation for the attack.

Ibrahim said they were for “chopping to kill” and to slice

Gaga delivers pizza Thousands of California residents have been displaced due to raging wildfires this week and yesterday, Lady Gaga delivered pizza to one of the many Red Cross evacuation centres in Los Angeles.

“Today is my favourite day of the year— it’s World Kindness Day. I encourage you all to do one act of kindness even if it’s for yourself,” the 32-year-old singer said on Instagram. Gaga was forced to evacuate her Malibu home when fires spread along the California coast, the Daily Mail reports.

Best of the decade

Abdullah Chaarani wanted to follow the path of those who have died fighting. the necks of unbelievers of their radical Sunni Islam.

The group also had the makings for pipe bombs that were intended, as Ibrahim put it, to “wage violent jihad”.

They got the recipe from the infamous al-Qaeda magazine article “How to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mum”.

Ibrahim revealed during the trial that he believed it was “fine for me to kill Australians” because Muslims have been killed in wars involving Australia.

“It’s not hard to kill a person with a machete.

“It just takes one slice to the neck,” he said in his police interview.

The plot was foiled on December 22, 2016, by police who had been listening to their preparations and watching as they carried out reconnaissance at Federation Square.

In Hamza’s defence, Felicity Gerry, QC, argued he was a “fishbrain” and the “idiot brother” who could not be trusted to know details of the plot.

Hamza joined in December 2016, but plans between Ibrahim, Mohamed and Chaarani had been afoot since at least October.

Mohamed and Chaarani had tried in 2015 to go overseas and fight with Islamic State.

Chaarani said he wanted to “follow the same path” as Hamza and Ibrahim’s cousin Nabil Abbas who, it was revealed during the course of the trial, had died fighting with the terrorist organisation.

■ GREENLAND

Scientists stunned by meteorite discovery A massive iron meteorite smashed into Greenland as recently as 12,000 years ago, leaving a crater bigger than Paris that was recently discovered beneath the ice with sophisticated radar.

The crater is the first of its kind ever found on Greenland – or under any of the Earth’s ice

Thirty-five years after the first Hairy Maclary book first hit New Zealand shelves, the tales of six dogs and one horrible cat are still winning Kiwi hearts.

Written by Lynley Dodd and published by Puffin, Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy has been officially named as the bestselling title of the decade. The NZ Bookshop competition included seven New Zealand novels, eight children’s books and five non-fiction titles voted as favourites by Kiwi booksellers.

sheets – and is among the 25 largest known on Earth, said the report in the journal Science Advances.

It is estimated the asteroid would likely have been made largely of iron, measuring about 1.5km across and weighing about 12 tons. The impact which created the 31

kilometres wide crater under the Hiawatha Glacier would have had significant ripple effects in the region.

If confirmed, it could have major implications for the tale of humanity itself.

Its dating could establish the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis as fact. It’s a somewhat

controversial idea that a large impact in North America some 11,000 to 13,000 years ago during the last Ice Age caused massive wildfires across much of the Americas and Europe.

This in turn led to the extinction of many mammals, – and possibly the early humans occupying the Americas.

Former One Direction star Zayn Malik has seemingly confirmed one of the more bizarre rumours that’s swirled around singing superstar Taylor Swift in recent years. Swift took a lengthy break from the public eye, somehow even managing to evade paparazzi, with people wondering how she got around without being seen. In July 2017, images surfaced showing two hulking bodyguards carrying a large suitcase out of Swift’s New York apartment. “She was travelling around in a suitcase,” Malik says, eyes agog, of his pal Taylor Swift’s ability to avoid the paparazzi.

Buying a house?

YOU NEED A LAWYER

Kevin Lampen-Smith

REA

Most people know that it’s a good idea to seek advice from a lawyer when buying a property. If you’re signing a binding legal document that involves the biggest financial transaction you’ll probably ever make, it makes sense to engage an expert to help.

However, a lawyer or conveyancer isn’t just there to dot the i’s and cross the t’s on the contract. You should see them as a valuable source of support throughout the property buying process, not just someone to push the paperwork through at the last minute.

Things can move fast in property transactions so it’s smart to start talking to a lawyer as soon as you start looking through ‘for sale’ ads. Here’s what to ask them in the first instance: 1.

Are you a conveyancing specialist? It might seem obvious, but you really do want a lawyer that specialises in property transactions and knows

the ins-and-outs of what you’re wanting to do. You may already have a great family lawyer, but if this isn’t an area they specialise in, then look elsewhere – you could even ask them for a recommendation.

2. How much do you charge?

Different lawyers and conveyancers have different fee structures, and pricing can vary dramatically, so it pays to have a clear understanding of what they will charge you from the get-go, and when it will be due.

3. What clauses should I add?

Your sale and purchase agreement can include clauses, such as a finance clause that means the offer is subject to you getting loan pre-approval from your bank. Talk to your lawyer about your individual circumstances and what clauses should be included in your contract, to best protect yourself.

Talking about this early on will save you time when it comes to making an offer and the real estate agent or salesperson asks what clauses you’d like in the agreement.

4. Can you explain the LIM to me? A LIM is a council file that includes all the information held about a particular property. These

files can be chunky, complex and full of very detailed information about resource consents, zoning information, natural features that affect a property (like flooding) and more. Ask your lawyer or conveyancer to look over these documents and explain them to you, so you fully understand all aspects of the information. Your lawyer will know what to watch out for when reading through the documents and is the best person to spot any red flags for you.

5. What do I need to know about a unit title property?

If you are buying a unit title property, the seller must provide you with certain sets of information. Talk to your lawyer about the information you are entitled to and ask their advice on whether you should seek any further information.

6. Will you check my sale and purchase agreement before I sign it? Don’t sign anything before your lawyer or conveyancer has read over it.

Remember, a sale and purchase agreement is a legally binding document and there’s no going back once you have signed on the dotted line. Buying a home is a big financial decision, so it’s well worth taking the time to ensure you’ve done your due

diligence and received the advice you need.

7. What will happen on settlement day? Settlement day is when the property transfer goes ahead, and the house becomes yours. This day is the culmination of a lot of hard work and stress, but before you pop the champagne, several things need to happen in sequence between your lawyer, the seller’s lawyer, and your bank or lender. This can take time, so it’s a good idea not to be sitting outside the home at 9am with a moving truck. You can find a helpful settlement checklist on settled.govt.nz, the independent government website for buyers and sellers.

If you’re not sure where to find a lawyer, you can ask family or friends for recommendations or check out www. propertylawyers.org.nz (part of the New Zealand Law Society) to find one in your area.

For independent guidance and information on buying or selling, check out settled.govt.nz.

The new-look Toyota Hilux

H

ilux has a bold new look across all SR extra cab, double cab and SR5 models, with a tough new grille, front bumper, fog light garnish and black bonnet garnish.

And the features don’t stop there.

The Hilux double cab delivers you the power to get things done and the fuel efficiency to go further.

Hilux 4WD Double Cab SR5 Cruiser ute can tow a maximum of 3500kg (braked).

Hilux’s diesel engine holds the torque, which is why it thrives when towing trailers, boats or horse floats.

Even in town the Hilux’s 450Nm of torque means it’s easier to accelerate away from traffic lights and sustain posted road speeds while carrying heavy loads in the tray.

The 2.8-litre four-cylinder diesel engine has been developed from the ground up to provide more power and torque, unquestionable reliability, robust operation and a smooth drive, all while maintaining the proven carrying and towing capability.

The diesel engine adds remarkable fuel efficiency and a host of dynamic on and off-road technologies to an already stand out vehicle.

The SR5 Cruiser is available in 2WD PreRunner and 4WD automatic drivetrain configurations.

Every Hilux features a 7” touchscreen, providing access to all your audio, including Bluetooth streamed files from your

smartphone or device. You can also easily scroll to the next song using the audio controls on the steering wheel.

Once in reverse, the large colour tabletlike screen becomes your reversing camera display, helping you manoeuver safely.

The SR5 Cruiser has perforated leather accented seat material with front seat heaters. The driver’s seat gains power recline, slide and vertical adjustments.

A new meter cluster features a revised

tachometer and speedometer design and a new MID Opening screen sequence has been created with the SR5 Cruiser design.

Whether your Hilux is for work, play or a little of both – you’ll want the extra peace of mind that comes with a robust suite of safety measures onboard.

The 5 Star ANCAP safety-rated Hilux arrives with driver and passenger front and side airbags, front curtain shield airbags and rear curtain shield airbags.

The Smart Entry and Start System allows doors to be locked and unlocked and the engine started by simply carrying the smart key in a pocket, bag or purse.

Because there is no requirement to insert the key into a slot, the Smart Entry and Start System is very convenient especially if approaching the vehicle carrying a load.

The new SR5 Cruiser is available in all 7 Hilux colours.

Big cat hits the dirt

J

aguar has developed two F-TYPE Convertible rally cars, with design cues from the F-TYPE Chequered Flag Limited Edition, to continue its celebration of 70 years of sports car heritage since the XK 120 was revealed in 1948.

The one-off F-TYPE rally cars also pay homage to the legendary Jaguar XK 120 registered ‘NUB 120’ which, in the early 1950s in the hands of Ian Appleyard, completed three consecutive Alpine Rallies without incurring a single penalty point, and won the RAC and Tulip.

Both rally-specification F-TYPE Convertibles are powered by Jaguar’s 300PS 2.0-litre Ingenium four-cylinder petrol engine.

With the modifications all carefully overseen by Jaguar Design and Engineering, both cars were built to FIA specification, with comprehensively uprated brakes and suspension fitted alongside a protective rollcage, race-seats with six-point harness, bonnet-mounted light pod and fire extinguisher.

Ian Callum, Jaguar Director of Design, said: “The opportunity to design a rally car doesn’t come along very often so I was fascinated to see how we could take our modern day sports car to a similar character.

“These models are a fitting tribute to the XK 120 and all the great Jaguar sports cars since its reveal 70 years ago, including the latest F-TYPE Chequered Flag Limited Edition.”

The rally F-TYPEs feature upgrades

“

to the brakes, suspension and drivetrain including the addition of grooved discs with four-piston calipers front and rear.

Hand-built competition dampers and softer springs ensure the high performance cars can be driven flat-out over rough rally stages.

Three-way adjustable dampers allow the cars to be tuned for different surfaces and feature spherical bearings for added precision.

With motorsport-spec wheels and tyres specifically for use on gravel, a limited-slip differential improves power delivery on loose surfaces, while a hydraulic handbrake helps drivers tackle hairpin bends.

The celebratory models were put through their paces at Walters Arena rally stage, South Wales, to demonstrate their performance credentials and will now attend a series of Jaguar events over the next few months.

The rally cars’ livery takes design inspiration from the new F-TYPE Chequered Flag Limited Edition, which features a range of subtle exterior visual enhancements, including unique 20-inch Gloss Black wheels with a Diamond Turned finish and a Black Contrast roof on the Coupé.

Inside, the luxurious Ebony Windsor Leather interior features Performance seats with embossed Chequered Flag headrests and a Dark Brushed Aluminium centre console trim finisher.

The Jaguar F-TYPE Chequered Flag Limited Edition is available from £62,335.

These models are a fitting tribute to the XK 120 and all the great Jaguar sports cars

Event mania in our town A

s you read the next few paragraphs you can be forgiven for wondering what the words have got to do with motoring.

But please keep reading.

Over the last few days this writer has been fortunate to attend some quite amazing local events and performances which really deserve mentioning.

The first of this series of gatherings was the fifteenth anniversary celebration of the Advance Ashburton Community Foundation.

Formed by some far-sighted community minded people for the ongoing benefit of our district, the Foundation has gone from strength to strength and will continue to do so.

Mary Ross, Jo Taylor and Sandi Wood, executive members of the Foundation, provided an excellent overview of the Foundation, and two recipients of grants and another guest speaker gave absolutely inspirational accounts of their life stories and challenges they have faced and dealt with.

This function took place in the Ashburton Event Centre, a great venue which is itself testament to the determination of locals who made sure we have that facility.

It was back to the Event Centre on Saturday night to attend For the Fallen commemorating one hundred years of Armistice.

This show featured the MSA Men’s Choir conducted by Angie Creswell – who really got the audience involved – joined by the Phoenix Rising Choir, the AshColl Dancers, Ashburton Cadets, the Garden City Big Band and others.

The show was brilliantly compered by Kevin Soster. .

Opening with a very moving film depicting trench warfare and the moments before soldiers went over the top, the show was a mix a tear jerking and top tapping moments.

For the Fallen was simply marvellous.

Saint Stephen’s Church was a very fitting venue for the third event – The Messiah.

Bernard Egan MOTORING

The Mid Canterbury Choir along with nationally renowned guest performers gave an amazing performance of Handel’s famous Oratorio.

My co driver/navigator /‘er indoors/ she who must be obeyed, who had never before been to a performance of the Messiah, came away feeling pleased with the experience and – like everyone who attended – absolutely amazed.

The reason to preface this story with these comments is because attending these special events has been a reminder of the wonderful talent, generosity and venues which exit in our community and auger so well for our future.

These things don’t just happen; in fact they wouldn’t happen if it wasn’t for volunteers and sponsors.

Funnily enough for this writer The Messiah evokes motoring memories.

During school days my sister Judith – she who is older and wiser – encouraged me, her younger brother, to accompany her and some friends on trips to see The Messiah in Christchurch.

Back then it was quite a thing to go to something in Christchurch on a Saturday night.

On one trip we went with Trevor Mattingley in his Mark 2 Zephyr and the other time we were passengers in Richard Watson’s Wolseley Hornet.

As well as realising The Messiah was something pretty special, I was really impressed with the cars we travelled in.

Richard now lives in the North Island.

It’s a while since I’ve seen Richard, but from time to time I catch up with Trevor, and all these years later that trip and his

car have not been forgotten and are often mentioned.

And, of course, a car played a part in the start of World War One. The Grand Duke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in his car when motoring around Sarajevo.

That was the spark which set off the tinder box of grievances leading to a horrible conflict.

And ultimately leading on to the one hundred years of Armistice which have just been celebrated.

Getting back to volunteers.

Owen and Lorraine Wilson are two great examples of people who voluntarily arrange things – the latest being their P60/P80 car rally last Sunday.

There were over thirty cars on the rally which travelled to Rolleston and surrounding areas.

A great day out for everyone who took part.

Before the event Owen Wilson joked “we’ll lead them astray” to which he promptly added “and probably ourselves too”.

As far as we know everyone got back, so he and Lorraine didn’t quite do that, although come to think of it when the writer walked past their place of business the day after the rally their trusty immaculate Austin A60 Ute was not parked where one would normally expect to see it.

Most unusual!

Hopefully they’re back.

The events mentioned are just four of many things which have taken place recently and that’s the thing we live in a very vibrant community where there always seems to be something happening or something about to happen.

And the variety is huge.

Something which is about to happen is a really big and very special event on

Saturday November 24 – the Ashburton Motorcycle Show at the Ashburton Racecourse.

Organised by the Originals, it will be a chance to meet riders and look at some incredible motorcycles.

And there’s more, much more to the Ashburton Motorcycle Show which includes bands, a tattoo show and other entertainment.

An event with something to fascinate all the family, a not to be missed show, and Originals member Gerald McKenzie says everything is coming together well.

Volunteers and talented people of all ages – thank goodness we have them in our Community.

What would we do without them?

New scoot on the street A

major new entrant into the New Zealand electric scooter market has arrived in Auckland this week – offering a new standard in safety for its customers and advocating for mandatory use of helmets.

Xiaomi or ‘Mi’ as the brand is also known, is the company behind the Mi Electric Scooter, a top selling model overseas which contains a number of advanced safety features.

New Zealand spokesperson for Mi, Eric Chang, says the popularity of rentable scooters has driven a significant interest in the Mi electric model among customers wanting to have one of their own.

“Safety is a key consideration in the

design and operation of the scooters.

This model has a dual-brake system; front E-ABS, regenerative anti-lock braking system and rear mechanical disc brake system.

“The front anti-lock braking system prevents the wheels from locking even under hard braking or on surfaces with low friction like wet roads.

“The scooters are also equipped with a low power mode which restricts the maximum speed, ultra bright headlights, a warning tail light that flashes during braking, skid-resistant inflatable tyres, and a handlebar bell,” says Chang In addition Chang says users will need to manually push the scooter to a speed of 5kmph to start, unlike the immediate ac-

celeration which can come from a rented model, allowing the user time to adapt to the responsiveness of the battery.

Chang says the company will also encourage the purchase of helmets at the point of sale.

“Helmets are one of the few non Mi branded products we will sell but it is important to us that the public are better equipped and educated about the need for safety on our roads; we believe everyone using an electric scooter should be wearing a helmet,” he says.

More than 600 people queued for hours outside the store before it opened to the public following a VIP launch event.

With over 9 per cent of the global market, Mi is also the fourth largest smart-

phone manufacturer and one of the fastest growing mobile phone brands.

Mi is renowned internationally for bringing innovation to consumers at an affordable price.

In addition to cellular phones, their internet enabled products available at the new store will include robotic vacuum cleaners, wearable tech, home automation, smart appliances and, lifestyle products such as electric toothbrushes, towels and other homewares.

The Mi Electric Scooter has a range of about 29km on a single charge and can travel at up to 25km per hour.

It is also equipped with features such as cruise control – which are accessed via the Mi app.

Volvo gets the women’s vote T he Supreme Winner of the 2018 Women’s World Car of the Year is the Volvo XC40.

The Volvo was chosen from two complete rounds of voting.

In alphabetical order, the six cars that made it through round one of the 2018 Women’s World Car of the Year were: BMW X2 Jaguar E-PACE Jaguar I-PACE Peugeot 508 Porsche Cayenne Volvo XC40

The women motoring writers then voted again with the Volvo XC40 emerging as a front-runner in what transpired to be an extremely tight vote between the Top 3 finalists, which were: Volvo XC40 Jaguar E-PACE Jaguar I-PACE The Volvo XC40 is a compact luxury crossover SUV manufactured

by Volvo Cars originally designed by Thomas Ingenlath and revealed in September 2017.

It was the first time a five-door SUV had been released by the Swedish company, Geely Sweden AB.

Since then the Volvo XC40 has won a string of awards including being named at the Geneva Motor Show as 2018 European Car of the Year.

Volvo and the XC40 can now add the Supreme Winner of 2018 Women’s World Car of the Year to that list – from the only car awards in the world voted entirely by women motoring writers.

Holly Reich Dream Car Award: Judges were asked to nominate their dream car, the one they would love to own and drive.

Receiving the most votes in this category, and a clear winner was the Aston Martin Vantage.

Strength in carbon

I

t’s surprising to find that the small Moto Guzzi factory on the shores of Lake Como is one of the premier users of carbon fibre componentry on motorcycles – especially when you consider their lack of the high-performance machinery with which the material is normally associated.

Although you won’t find Moto Guzzi ripping up the track in the top echelons of motorcycle racing, you will find them including dollops of lightweight and strong carbon fibre on their limited-edition machinery such as this V7 – the V7 III Carbon.

There is something oddly satisfying when you thumb the starter of a Moto Guzzi.

Maybe it’s the oddball transverse V-twin configuration, the beautiful Italian craftsmanship on display or something ethereal.

Either way, I was happy to find myself at the handlebars of Guzzi’s latest limitededition machine.

The V7 III Carbon is restricted to just 1921 units worldwide – reflecting the year of Guzzi’s birth – with just six destined to officially head to Aotearoa.

Our test bike was #533/1921 and rolled into the test garage with under 500km on the clock and a pillion on the back.

It may be limited-edition, but it is still a practical motorcycling prospect.

As the name suggests, the V7 III Carbon uses plenty of the exotic material to set the bike apart from its more traditional stablemates.

The sidecovers and mudguards are carbon fibre, and although some might ask for more, the bike doesn’t need it.

Adding more carbon bits would be likely to add unnecessary equipment to the V7, and goes against the principles behind the use of carbon fibre.

Following close behind the carbon fibre bits in the “eye popping goodness” race are the brilliant red rocker covers sticking out like beacons from the top of the thirdgeneration V7 V-twin.

We’ve seen Guzzi do this before, on the even more carbon-clad MGX-21 Flying Fortress, but unlike that bike you won’t need to panic every time you find yourself in road works.

Moto Guzzi has kept the V7 III simple and elegant – as tradition dictates – and has opted to forgo the carbon-fibre wheels this time.

The V7 III Carbon sports the same MGTC (Moto Guzzi Traction Control) system as the rest of the range, meaning the rear wheel is kept under control in

even the most slippery conditions.

And another plus is those clever Lake Como residents have realised that the beautiful Alcantara fabric that adorns the rather nice – and V7 III Carbon only – seat probably won’t like the rain much despite being water repellent.

So, they found a simple solution to the problem which is revealed by lifting up the seat – a conveniently placed raincoat to ensure the Alcantara stays dry.

Finishing off the styling of the Carbon is a smattering of matte black paint on the fuel tank to subtly blend in with the carbon fibre components.

It is almost as if matte black paint is the new chrome, with manufacturers shun-

ning the shiny stuff and going as dull as possible.

One of the biggest pleasures of riding a Moto Guzzi is the massive dose of character you get from pushing the starter to any of the firm’s fantastic transverse V-twin engines.

Producing a mild mannered 38.7kW at 6200rpm backed by 60Nm of torque, the V7 isn’t equipped with the sportiest of rides.

Sure, carbon-fibre parts scream racing pedigree, but the V7 III is pure and simple and the engine reflects that.

Sitting at idle you can revel in the transverse rock of the 744cc V-twin before slipping the 6-speed gearbox into gear and gently rolling away.

The powerband is thick with a rich spread of torque throughout, and I found myself surfing along on the torque curve often and shifting by gut feel rather than the slightly alarming shift indicator, which flashes out of nowhere.

Revving out the bike isn’t all that rewarding anyway, so if you’re seeing the shift light you’re flogging the Guzzi too hard.

Although not overtly needed in a sense of taming the power of the V7 III, the addition of the MGTC system and ABS are a nice safety net, and during our shoot a brief rainstorm saw me dive into the electronics to turn up the intervention on the traction control to its highest setting.

It’s not something you want to do too often, as in typical Italian style the user interface and experience of trying to play with the electronics is not the simplest and peculiarly requires you to thumb the starter to modify traction control settings.

Thankfully, this isn’t the type of bike that relies on oodles of technological gadgets to enhance the riding experience and the old-school combination of good hardware matched to the power and weight of the bike works a treat.

Add to that a special feeling each time you gaze down at the handlebar mount and read the phrase “Made in Mandello del Lario” with the build number right below, and you can’t help but fall for Moto Guzzi’s latest red head.

Aston Martin DBX A

ston Martin has made a significant and symbolic stride towards the luxury brand’s first SUV – now officially confirmed as being named DBX – with the first development prototype being put through its paces along a demanding Welsh Rally stage in the hands of the company’s Chief Engineer, Matt Becker.

This first test for DBX signifies the start of an extensive testing programme, one that has begun in Wales, as a nod to Aston Martins’ new St Athan production facility in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Though simulation is an essential part of DBX’s early development phase, this first prototype drive in Wales signifies the start of ‘real world’ testing, in which the SUV will be subjected to a punishing regime that will ultimately see development prototypes of the all-new machine tackle some of the world’s harshest environments, from the frozen Arctic and scorching deserts of the Middle East to high Alpine passes and the high-speed demands of the German autobahnen and Nürburgring Nordschleife.

on a piece of baking paper and roll into a log. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.

■ Preheat the oven to 200°C. ■ Use a little of the measured butter to grease a medium-sized ovenproof dish. Heat a dash of oil in a small frying pan and add the onion. Place over a low heat and cook the onion until soft.

Thinly slice the potatoes. Arrange potato slices in overlapping rows in the dish, adding the onion, garlic and thyme as well as seasoning as you layer.

■ Add the remaining butter to the hot stock and pour this carefully into the dish. Cover the top of the potatoes with a piece of

baking paper. Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour (remove the baking paper towards the end of cooking to allow the potatoes to brown on top), until the potatoes are tender and golden and crisp on the top.

■ Season the steaks and heat a large frying pan until hot. Place in the steaks and cook for 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the frying pan to a warmed plate and sprinkle over the thyme.

Place 2 slices of the blue butter on each steak. Cover loosely with foil and leave to rest for 5 minutes.

■ Cut steaks in half and place on 4 warmed plates along with all the melted and not-so melted blue butter. Serve with the baked potatoes.

Community pulling for St John

I

t’s not often out community is united in a common cause, but when unity occurs, it’s an awesome thing.

Currently we’re a community that’s coming together, that has a common cause and a common voice. And that cause is the saga of St John versus the district council over an inner town section.

The council owns the land, St John needs the land. If it sells, the council is likely to want market value, but St John doesn’t have any money.

What money it has stashed away in its bank account, along with a yet to be confirmed grant from its major funder the Trevor Wilson Trust, will be totally absorbed by the construction

of a building extension needed to accommodate an additional ambulance and additional staff.

All of this for the community’s benefit.

It seems the two parties are a long way apart, however, when it comes to finding an appropriate outcome. But not in the community’s eyes.

A story in Thursday’s Guardian on the issue appears to have galvanised the community. Face-

book comments poured in and on the street, the talk was about the section, St John and the role the council should play.

To most people the outcome was simple – the council should gift the land to St John.

And if that’s what the community wants, then that’s what should happen. After all, it’s our land.

The council might be its custodian, but it’s the custodian on our behalf. If the public appetite is to give that land away, then let’s give. If we can’t give, then let’s offer St John a long, long term lease at a peppercorn rental.

There’s also another issue at play and that’s time, the pace of action, the speed at which meetings are held and decisions made.

Ten years ago: Iraq’s Cabinet overwhelmingly approved a security pact with the United States calling for American forces to remain in the country until 2012. Space shuttle Endeavour linked up with the international space station.

Five years ago: In his weekly Saturday radio and Internet address, President Barack Obama said improved energy efficiency and higher energy production in the United States were yielding environmental and economic benefits that were helping ensure cleaner air and a more competitive business landscape.

One year ago: Minnesota

Democratic Sen. Al Franken became the first member of Congress to be caught up in a wave of allegations of sexual abuse and inappropriate behaviour, after a Los Angeles radio anchor accused him of forcibly kissing her and groping her during a 2006 USO tour. The federal bribery trial of Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey ended with the jury hopelessly deadlocked on all charges.

(Federal prosecutors decided in January not to retry him.)

At the Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas, several artists dedicated their performances and awards to Puerto Rico as the

SENIOR REPORTER

One group is moving steadily forward, the other is moving at snail’s pace.

St John is looking at what it needs, deciding how it can get what it needs and then putting steps in place to make sure things happen.

It has a clear plan of action but it also has a clear plan of action if it cannot strike a deal with the council – it’ll be packing up, selling its inner town building and looking for somewhere on the outskirts of town. Far from ideal.

The council on the other hand as we’re often reminded, is an organisation bound up in process and protocol.

Nothing moves quickly, decisions aren’t made on the fly, actions can’t happen overnight.

Every action is preceded by questions, reports, discussions, debates, more questions, more reports, recommendations and finally, usually months down the track, a decision.

Does it need to be that way?

Those who love process and protocol would say yes; those who do not would say, get into the real world and work at the real world’s pace.

Local authorities are bound up in rules and regulations, no question they’re needed, but it’s only when issues of high community interest arise that ratepayers are made painfully aware just how laboriously slow the wheels of local government grind.

And that does not always serve the community well.

The cup day fuzzies must have been due to the atmosphere and the result of a few malt sandwiches, it certainly wasn’t due to the weight of my wallet.

Another NZ cup day bites the dust C

up day and the Bohemian Rhapsody movie were a lot alike.

I attended both this week.

I felt like crying at times during both events.

I felt like yelling with joy at times during both also.

And I left both with warm fuzzies, thinking to myself, ‘I’ll be back’.

The cup day fuzzies must have been due to the atmosphere and the result of a few malt sandwiches, it certainly wasn’t due to the weight of my wallet.

It has been a number of years since I’ve been to cup day, 16 years to be precise. Gracious Knight was the cup winner that year. Not that I could see the race that well that year, I was about 47 deep in a standing only area.

This year was different! The FPC were in attendance. No it’s not the Fantastic Punters Collective, it’s the Friday Poker Club.

Well some of the members and some other dignitaries.

rived two hours before the first race to secure two tables right beside the fence and about 30 metres short of the finish line.

I was zero deep watching Thefixer take the honours in a super race.

Shawshank Redemption was my favourite movie, it is now my equal favourite movie. I loved Bohemian Rhapsody!

I didn’t really know what to expect and even though the Movie Mum, who does our weekly movie reviews on Hokonui gave it a 9.75 out of 10, I didn’t want to go with really high expectations.

It was over 2 hours long but the time just flew by.

Much like at the trots, during the concert footage parts of the

movie it felt like I was in the front row watching.

I got a bit emotional at times.

Especially watching the Live Aid parts of the movie. It took me straight back to 1985 and Howie Timms’ place. Andy Smith, Cam Bruce and yours truly were there glued to the screen, waiting for U2 to come on stage.

When we weren’t checking on Cam, who was sitting on the backdoor step throwing up in the garden with Mrs T rubbing his back. (One too many malt sandwiches).

I remember watching the Queen 20 minute set and the crowd clapping in time to Radio Gaga and I was blown away.

I liked Queen, we had the Greatest Hits album at home, but after seeing them at Live Aid and again at their 86 Wembley concert I became a fan.

I said to Manda when the film finished, I want to go home and dig out the Live Aid boxed DVD set and play the Queen set again.

Then we met David Favel at

the bottom of the ramp. He said “you loved it didn’t you?”

“I sure did,” I replied.

“I bet you want to go home and watch Live Aid now eh?”

We laughed and said we had just said that exact same thing.

He said “the only trouble is, once you’ve watched that, you’ll watch the 86 concert and that will lead you to the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert and then a doco on Queen the early years and that will lead to Freddie singing with Montserrat Caballé and his final years”.

Guess what we’re doing this weekend. I better warn the neighbours it could get a little loud.

St John This is ridiculous!

We pay the mayor and councillors around $500,000 in honorariums and expenses to look after the ratepayers’ interests and they are pathetic.

They spend millions on overpriced buildings and now say they want St John to pay for access.

According to your figures St John averages about 10 call-outs per day so the council should, in my opinion, find someway to donate the land to St John so they can continue to serve the residents.

■ THE WAREHOUSE

Onion drama escalates Kiwi company The Warehouse has cheekily taken a dig at retail rivals Bunnings after the Australian hardware store controversially changed its sausage safety laws.

Bunnings’ popular sausage sizzle faced a snag after a customer slipped on an onion, forcing the company to look into new health rules on how to safely conduct the creation of the sausage and bread.

The new guideline means the fried onion can no longer be placed on top of the sausage, but now has to be on the bottom.

The safety rule is designed to prevent chopped onions falling out and posing a slip hazard.

After mass social media outrage, The Warehouse cheekily weighed in on the issue, confirming they won’t change their rules on how to safely run a sausage sizzle.

Taking to Twitter, The Warehouse took aim at Bunnings’ customers’ lack of class.

We’re satisfied with our sausage safety standards,” the tweet reads.

“To be frank, our customers know onions are for eating, not dropping.

“What do our customers expect to see at ground level on the daily?

“Our everyday low prices.

“They’re real bangers. #sausagegate2018 #snarlerfirst” Bunnings’ controversial rule change was initiated when 65-year-old Trevor sued the company after slipping on a piece of onion.

“I walked into store and it happened so fast.

“I had leather boots on, I went down on my back,” the farmer said.

The 65-year-old said he was cautious of hitting his head on the ground.

“When I went down, that is the first thing I thought of – ‘don’t let your head hit the concrete’.”

Kohatukai abandoned New Zealand Oil & Gas says the Kohatukai-1 well it is a partner in will be plugged and abandoned after failing to deliver commercial volumes of gas. The well, drilled south-east of New Plymouth last month, had elevated gas readings in the Matapo and Mangahewa sands. But the company says further analysis suggests those shows were from residual gas.

“The joint venture’s view is that no economically viable gas reserves have been encountered in the well.

The well will now be plugged and abandoned.”

He had to undergo an MRI to ensure that the hip was not damaged, leaving him no choice but to pursue Bunnings for the emotional stress caused by the accident.

“I used to be an amateur boxer and I learnt the punch is not going to kill you; it’s hitting your head on the concrete that is going to.

“I went to another Bunnings a couple of weeks after and I had a panic attack.

“Every time I go into Bunnings now I look on the floor — I look for onions.

lobal sharemarkets have had a volatile week with a number of concerns weighing on investor sentiment.

These included lingering concerns surrounding slowing global growth, falling oil prices, a collapse in Apple’s share price and fresh developments tied to Britain’s exit from the European Union.

Locally, the NZX 50 index is 6 per cent below its September high, having been 8.6 per cent lower at its weakest closing point.

The local bourse is still currently up over 5 per cent for the year to date (as at the time of writing).

There was a flutter of corporate news flow this week, with a number of companies reporting earnings or holding annual meetings.

Infratil, Mainfreight and Sanford reported results, while Contact Energy and Vector held annual meetings.

Port of Tauranga also hosted its Investor day.

The most notable among them was Mainfreight’s interim result.

The company reported a 32 per cent rise in net profit to $55.7m, comfortably ahead of market expectations. Mainfreight saw an increase in earnings from all its global segments, though Australia lagged due to increased costs.

The core New Zealand segment was a standout, with operating earnings rising 18 per cent.

Mainfreight is often seen as an economic gauge, so this result provides a positive read-through for how things are tracking in the New Zealand economy.

In local economic news, the latest housing report from the Real

The number of properties sold nationally increased to 6791 in October 2018, an increase of 911 houses from October 2017 data.

Meanwhile, house prices rose just 0.5 per cent nationwide in October from September.

In Australia, there were annual meetings (and associated trading updates) from Computershare, Ramsay Health Care, ResMed, Lend Lease and Link Group.

Australian development giant Lendlease has recently surprised investors by writing-down the value of its Australian engineering business by A$350 million.

The company has experienced issues primarily relating to the NorthConnex roading project in Sydney.

These have been caused by adverse weather, access issues and lower productivity.

While a small part of the overall Lendlease business, shares fell by more than 18 per cent on the back of the announcement.

In Australian economic news, data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed wages growth was somewhat strong in the third quarter, helped along by a big 3.5 per cent rise in the national minimum wage earlier in the year.

Wages rose by a seasonally adjusted 0.6 per cent in the three months through September from the second quarter, and rose by 2.3 per cent from a year earlier.

Further afield, shares in Vodafone jumped after the company reported better than expected sales growth during the first half of its financial year and also provided a reassuring outlook.

While management announced that it will freeze its dividend until debt levels are at more appropriate levels, investors had been fearing a potential dividend cut.

Apple has had a rocky week after a number of smartphone component suppliers cut their financial outlooks citing reduced shipments from their ‘largest consumer customers’.

While no specific customer was named, Apple is one of the largest customers for smartphone components in the world.

These announcements come after Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, announced the company will stop disclosing unit data for its hardware devices at its recent quarterly result.

This has raised concerns around demand for the company’s latest flagship iPhones.

Apple has released an unprecedented number of new iPhones as well as a number of other Apple products in time for the Christmas season.

In brief

■ ASHBURTON

Butts make it a double After a quiet few years in terms of winners, Woodend Beach trainers David and Catherine Butt were able to relive their former glory days at Ashburton on Thursday when they geared up their first training double in almost three years.

The husband-and-wife training duo threw a cart over both Astound and Son Of A Tiger who then went on to win their respective races at the meeting giving them their second and third winners for the season.

Astound kicked things off in the opening race of the day and backed up some solid recent form in maiden trots with an explosive victory with David in the bike.

An embryo transfer foal from former Group One winning trotting mare Habibti, there’s a bit of residual value around the fouryear-old mare and she showed a bit of the family quality, sitting three wide without cover for the last 900 metres before unleashing down centre track.

The daughter of Majestic Son is raced by Robert and Lyn Patterson along with Birchbrook Breeding Ltd. Then, a few races later an aggressive early drive from Cameron Jones in the junior driver’s event netted further success when Son Of A Tiger snuck up the lane to defeat a brave Arden’s Winstar.

After a run of bad luck in terms of barrier draws, the opportunity

No more surgery Pukekohe jockey Alysha Collett won’t need further surgery to help mend her fractured heel. Collett was relieved to learn she would avoid extra surgery, which could have meant inserting screws into her heel, after visiting a specialist on Wednesday. “I got the best news possible. No surgery will be needed. We just got another three to four weeks without any weight on it and we’ll go from there,” she said. Collett broke her back and fractured her heel in a horrific fall in Singapore last month. - NZME

Top barrier draws Hawke’s Bay training duo Guy Lowry and Grant Cullen have come up trumps in the barrier draw for the Gr.1 Gavelhouse.com New Zealand 1000 Guineas at Riccarton Park tomorrow. Their stakes placed filly Mohaka has drawn barrier one and dual stakes winner and racefavourite Xpression will jump from barrier two. “We will try to ride Mohaka quite positively and hopefully Xpression can get a cosy run behind them somewhere,” Lowry said.

O’Reilly’s unfamiliar role Cameron Jones gets Son Of A Tiger up on the rails to score in the Masterguard Fire & Security Junior Drivers race at the Ashburton meeting yesterday. to race up on the speed was too good to refuse.

“He hasn’t had a lot of luck,” Cath said.

“There’s been some bad draws and it’s just getting harder and harder to come from back in the field these days.

“But he’s a nice horse, and being by American Ideal he should just keep getting better too.”

Son Of A Tiger is raced by Peter and Jocelyn Cates along with their daughters, Nikki Copland and Joanne Lovett – the same combination which raced former open class pacing star, Bondy.

The last time the stable trained a winner was in 2015 when they took Wilma’s Mate and Idealindiamonds to Westport and they were both successful.

With just a small team in training from their Woodend Beach base they now look on track to get close to the five winners they trained last season and were understandably chuffed to pick up the double.

“I would imagine that this is a bit like what Mark and Natalie felt like on Tuesday,” Davey quipped.

Gerard O’Reilly is hardly a name synonymous with big trotting races but he gets a realistic chance to win the biggest one of all this week when he partners Ronald J in today’s $300,000 Dominion Handicap. O’Reilly is best known in more recent times as the driver of Tiger Tara when he was trained by Geoff Dunn. O’Reilly had never driven for Paul Nairn before, and he began driving in 1983, so he was surprised as anyone might be when he got the call about driving Ronald J earlier this season.-NZHN

■ CRICKET

Playing Willows a cricket tradition Ashburton College’s first XI cricket side made its annual trip to Loburn on Sunday to take on a side from The Willows Cricket Club.

The result didn’t end up going the Ashburton side’s way, but for the team it wasn’t as much about the win, as it was the experience.

Playing against the Willows Cricket Club was a formal experience and the day was always full of cricket traditions, with the aim of encouraging players in secondary school first XIs to play with and against experienced cricketers, many of whom were past first-class cricketers.

Few teams managed to beat the Willows, but despite the result teams went away happy – the day was about the players having the opportunity to experience some of cricket’s traditions, and it was a great opportunity for spectators to watch a quality game of cricket in a country atmosphere.

Part of the tradition was offering the Willows the opportunity to bat first, which the side accepted against Ashburton College, and posted 213/4 after batting through the 50 overs.

Liam Sullivan took 1/44, Angus Jemmett took 1/34 and Tom Middleton took 1/15 for Ashburton College.

In reply Ashburton College also batted through the 50 overs for a total of 101, with Jemmett top scoring with 26 and Devon Flannery adding 22.

The Ashburton College team that played in the Willows game was James Forbes, Tom Middleton (C), Harry McMillan, Isaac Bazley, Angus Jemmett, Liam Sullivan, Ben Middleton, Devon Flannery, Jonty Small, Will Copland and Aiden Bennett.

In brief

Test debut on the cards

By Daniel Gilhooly Will Somerville was stunned to get a shot at first-class cricket with NSW at age 30.

So getting a test call-up for New Zealand at 34 is real pinchyourself material for the offspinner, who not long ago thought accountancy would be his lot.

Somerville, 34, is a contender to make an unlikely international debut in the first test against Pakistan starting in Abu Dhabi today.

Legspinner Ish Sodhi should start but with two tweakers set to be employed at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, selectors will consider Somerville or fellow uncapped late bloomer Ajaz Patel, a left-armer getting his first tour at age 30.

Having received a late call-up to replace injured legspinner Todd Astle, Somerville has spent two days getting to know teammates he has previously admired from afar.

His first net session on Wednesday was a surreal experience.

“It’s been awesome bowling to the batsmen I’ve watched on TV the last couple of years, Ross and those guys.

“There’s some world-class players in this side,” Somervile said.

Wellington-born Somerville shifted to Sydney with his family

Dravid back in NZ One of the greatest batsmen to ever play cricket is back in Mount Maunganui this week as coach of the India A team and is effusive about the facilities his team will have to train and play on at Bay Oval. “Having been here with the Under 19 team for the World Cup just a few months ago, we were really impressed with the facilities that were on offer,” Rahul Dravid said. The 45-year-old, who was inducted in to the ICC Hall of Fame in July, played 164 tests and 344 ODIs between 1996 and 2012.

Only three players in history have scored more than his 13,288 runs in test cricket.

Limited IPL time Some elite Australian cricketers won’t be allowed to play the entire Indian Premier League next year.

Cricket Australia says any player selected in Australia’s squad for the 50-over World Cup in England will have to attend a training camp in early May, during the tail-end of the IPL. CA says it will also need to give approval for any Australian cricketer wanting to play in next year’s IPL, which has been brought forward to avoid a clash with the World Cup. - AAP Will Somerville could well be starting his New Zealand test career today. aged nine and has played domestic cricket on both sides of the Tasman, including three recent seasons with NSW and some surprisingly effective returns for the Sydney Sixers.

A hunger for test cricket prompted a recent move to Auckland, where injuries to oth-

ers has played into his hands.

“I’m pinching myself. I’m grateful for the last five years, being a professional cricketer.

“I wasn’t sure it was going to happen at 30 and then I got an opportunity at NSW,” he said.

“Things have rolled on and obviously coming to New Zealand

a few months ago, it’s happened quicker than I was expecting.

“It’s been an absolute thrill.”

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has been cleared of a minor groin injury and will play the first match of the three-test series, having sat out the last match of the drawn ODI series.

Adams’ OC Thunder on a winning roll Paul George scored a seasonhigh 35 points to help Oklahoma City rout New York yesterday.

Steven Adams had 19 points and seven rebounds, and Dennis Schroder added 15 points and 12 assists for the Thunder.

They have won nine of 10 since a 0-4 start, and improved to 4-1 since point guard Russell Westbrook was sidelined with a sprained left ankle.

Tim Hardaway, Jr. scored 20 points, and Enes Kanter added 19 for the Knicks.

Meanwhile Reggie Bullock made the winning shot as time expired and the Detroit Pistons rallied from a 19-point deficit to beat the Toronto Raptors 106104, giving coach Dwane Casey a victory over his former team.

Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, Reggie Jackson and Langston Galloway each scored 13 points and Stanley Johnson had 12 for the Pistons. They had lost six of eight.

Kawhi Leonard scored 26 points and Pascal Siakam and Greg Monroe each had 17 for the Raptors. They have lost consecutive home games after a 7-0 start. Toronto (12-3) also failed to match the best start in franchise history. The Raptors went 13-2 to begin the 2014-15 season.

Toronto had won six straight over the Pistons, and nine of the previous 11 meetings.

Marc Gasol scored 29 points, Mike Conley added 26 and Memphis used a late 15-2 run to hand Milwaukee its first home loss, 116-113, of the season.

After losing a 15-point lead in the third quarter, Memphis surged ahead again late and held on with key baskets from Conley. With the shot clock winding down, Conley hit a turnaround jumper in the middle of the lane for a 113-109 lead with 26 seconds left.

Conley also hit two foul shots with 9.9 seconds left for a fourpoint lead, though Shelvin Mack went 1 of 2 at the line with 2.1 seconds left to give the Bucks one last chance trailing by three.

The Bucks inbounded the ball to their best 3-point shooter, Khris Middleton, but he missed near the top of the arc with two defenders in his face as time expired.

Jimmy Butler had 14 points in his Philadelphia debut, but the 76ers collapsed late and lost 111106 to Orlando after Terrence Ross hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 8.7 seconds.

Butler played 33 minutes and shot 6 for 12 from the field. The

four-time All-Star was acquired Monday from Minnesota in a five-player trade.

Orlando scored 21 straight points in the fourth quarter, then held the 76ers without a field goal over the final 3 1/2 minutes.

Joel Embiid finished with a triple-double of 19 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists for the 76ers.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 25 points and 16 rebounds, Andrew Wiggins scored 23 points and Minnesota beat New Orleans 107-100 to to improve to 2-0 since trading Jimmy Butler.

Jeff Teague added 14 points and 14 assists. E’Twaun Moore scored a season-high 31 and Anthony Davis had 29 points and 11 rebounds for the Pelicans.

The game was Minnesota’s first with forwards Robert Covington and Dario Saric. They were acquired from the Philadelphia 76ers along with injured guard Jerryd Bayless in exchange for the disgruntled Butler.

Covington started and had 13 points and seven rebounds.

Harrison Barnes scored 19 points and Dallas handed the Jazz their worst loss (118-68) since moving to Utah.

While in New Orleans, the Jazz lost to Milwaukee by 56, 158-102

on March 14, 1979. Dallas set a franchise mark for the fewest points allowed in a half at 22, giving up 13 in the third quarter and nine in the fourth.

The previous record was 23 against Sacramento in 2012. The 50-point margin of victory was the second-highest in team history behind a 53-point win over Philadelphia. The Mavericks shot 58 percent, making 43 percent of their 3-point shots.

Kyrie Irving had 17 points and seven assists as Boston routed Chicago 111-82. Jaylen Brown scored 18 points and Jayson Tatum added 14 to help Boston rebound from two straight losses on a 1-4 trip.

Bradley Beal scored 20 points, Otto Porter added 15 and Washington beat undermanned Cleveland 119-95 for its third straight victory.

T.J. Warren scored 16 of his 27 points in the first half and Phoenix built a big lead, almost lost it and then pulled away to beat San Antonio 116-96.

The Suns ended a four-game losing streak to improve to 3-11.

Tyler Johnson scored a seasonhigh 24 points, Goran Dragic had 21 and Miami beat Brooklyn 120107 to snap a three-game losing streak.

Low-key finale fears If Sebastien Ogier wins a sixth straight World Rally Championship in the forest but no one’s there to see it, did it really happen? The Frenchman had the world title in the bag when he arrived in Coffs Harbour for Rally Australia in the previous two campaigns and is excited by the prospect of having to earn it this time with a good performance when racing begins today. “The only thing I miss (about staging the finale in Australia) is the sport isn’t as known as it is in Europe and South America and lacks the fans,” the Ford driver said.

Horn wants good win To get his boxing world title back Jeff Horn knows that simply beating Anthony Mundine in Brisbane in the end of the month’s contest is not enough. Horn knows nothing less than a dominant victory over the 43-year-old former NRL player will do in the eyes of international opponents and promoters. The 30-yearold’s reputation took a hit in June when he surrendered his WBO welterweight title by losing to American Terence Crawford in his first professional defeat.

Many have since questioned his selection of Mundine as his next opponent, with the pair to face off at Suncorp Stadium on November 30. “To get back on the world stage and get that world title back I definitely have to win well,” Horn said.

Record for locking combo

By Liam Napier Brilliant alone, better together, Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock confirm their status as New Zealand’s greatest locking combination in Dublin this weekend.

The formidable duo are preparing to notch 50 tests alongside each other in the second-row, and in doing so again against Ireland will claim Ian Jones and Robin Brooke’s revered record as the All Blacks’ most capped pair.

Individual accolades have, and will continue, to flow their way.

Whitelock is a test centenarian and Kieran Read’s expected captaincy successor after next year’s World Cup. Retallick, World Rugby player of the year in 2014, sets the bar globally with his unique blend of aerial and ball-in-hand abilities.

But it is together their one-two punch has truly shone for the All Blacks.

“I think they’re probably the best combination we’ve had,” All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said after naming his strongest available side. “They complement each other really well.

“I know there’s been a lot of talk about Sammy being a bit tired this year but he’ll get a good break next year and I think you’ll see the true Sammy.

“When they’re both on form they’re both special players.

“Retallick is one from outer space and Sammy is not far behind. Quite often it gets missed how good Sam Whitelock is because of how good Brodie Retallick is.

“Retallick will be inspiring players all around the country who play in his position to be able to catch, pass and run with the ball. Sammy has done the same thing.

“You can look after one but then the other will hurt you if you put all your attention on one of them.”

Whitelock, 30, and Retallick, 27, have plenty of years to come at this level, although both are understood to be weighing post World Cup sabbatical options in Japan.

Both made their respective test debuts against Ireland; Whitelock two years before his partner burst on the scene.

Steve Hansen They are, however, different characters; Hansen describing Whitelock as a headstrong leader while Retallick tends to listen more.

Fitness permitting, the 63 test world record held by Springboks pair Victor Matfield and Bakkies Botha is the next mark in sight.

“It’s exciting for New Zealand rugby that’s for sure.

“If they both choose to stay and keep playing they’ll go to another World Cup, I imagine, and that’s a lot of experience by the time you get round to the next one.”

There is also a significant nod to Aaron Smith, the halfback set for his 82nd test match; an outing which will see him overtake Justin Marshall as New Zea-

land’s most capped No. 9.

“Aaron has done a marvellous job speeding up the delivery of our ball and allowing us to play at a speed that has been uncomfortable for other teams at times,” Hansen said.

The only concern for the All Blacks this week centred on Liam Squire who sat out Tuesday training with diarrhoea, but after again naming him to start at blindside, there appears no major worries he will recover in time.

After coming off the bench to add notable poise to the backline last week at Twickenham, Ryan Crotty was always the natural choice to replace Sonny Bill Williams in his favoured second fiveeighth role.

Prior to Dublin, continuity of selection is not something the All Blacks have enjoyed this season.

“The whole year we’ve been looking at combinations to make sure next year is really clear in our own minds.

“When you’ve got so much talent you’ve got to make sure you’ve got the right bit of it sorted for when we go to the World Cup.” - NZME

In brief RWC worth millions Hosting the Women’s Rugby World Cup in 2021 could be worth $3.6 million to Auckland and will be played in the middle of a blockbuster year for the city.

Auckland and Whangarei have been named as host cities for the top event in women’s rugby. In Auckland it is estimated 4600 extra visitors will generate 27,100 nights’ accommodation. Auckland Mayor Phil Goff says it is great news that Auckland will be jointly hosting the cup. “Auckland is well experienced at organising these events with the Rugby World Cup in 2011 and the World Masters Games last year.’’

Johnson philosophical Off-contract Warriors star Shaun Johnson has arrived home and wants to sort out his playing future, but remains open-minded about where he could land.

The 28-year-old playmaker spoke for the first time about the uncertainty over whether he will re-sign with the Warriors when he flew into Auckland yesterday following the completion of the Kiwis’ end of year tour of England.

As first reported by the Herald, the Warriors are yet to make a new offer to retain the 162game halfback who has a year remaining on his current million-dollar contract.

The Penrose-based club last month told Johnson’s agent Peter Brown his client is free to test his value on the open market.

Johnson yesterday revealed he is yet to hear from anyone at the Warriors but is keen to meet with Brown while telling AAP he remains open to “speaking to anyone who’s keen to have a chat, really”.

“I haven’t had any chats with anyone, I haven’t spoken to anyone at the Warriors, I can’t really comment on what’s going to happen until I do that,” said Johnson.

He was unsure whether he would see out the duration of his current contract or extend his time at Mt Smart beyond next season, but remained philosophical about the situation.

“It is a business at the end of the day,” Johnson said. “I made my debut, I played all my footy for the Warriors and it’s a club that, regardless of if I’m here over the next few years, I’m always going to love.

“I’ve had awesome support, there’s been a lot of people that have sent positive messages.

“So, for now, I can’t tell you what’s going to happen but all I know is that I’m going to enjoy my break, going to enjoy spending time with my family and hopefully soak in some of this sun.”

Merrin, who played 13 games for NSW between 2011 and 2015, still has two years left to run on his contract at the Panthers but has long been linked with the Rhinos. That move could be confirmed today, with Merrin having agreed to a new four-year deal with the English powerhouse. Originally pursued and signed by the club during Ivan Cleary’s first stint at the Panthers, he will become the first player to exit under the returning coach if he does leave.

Leon MacDonald will replace him has head coach with Umaga staying on as defensive coach for the next two years.

The Blues announced in May that Umaga’s contract had been extended into a fourth year.

MacDonald will take the role on as part of a three-year deal.

MacDonald will retain the attack portfolio alongside Tom Coventry as the forwards coach and Daniel Halangahu as the skills and back coach.

Umaga has coached the Blues for the past three years, during which the franchise has finished 11th, ninth and 14th.

“After the end of season review I signalled that my passion lies with my new responsibility as Defence Coach and I believe that is where I can make the greatest contribution and difference at the Blues,” said Umaga in a statement.

“I support the decision to appoint Leon and I believe that the coaching team of Leon, Tom and myself is the best that we could have at the Blues for the 2019 season and beyond.”

New Zealand, who are the current world champions in the men’s and women’s game, picked up the votes of the southern hemisphere nations and countries who won’t have a team in the tournament.

- AAP Tana Umaga will be defensive coach for the Blues for the next two seasons. coach at the Crusaders in 2017.

He then returned to coach the Mako in 2017 and 2018 and coached with Umaga at the New Zealand Under-20s campaign in 2015.

“I am highly motivated to help with the Blues’ vision for success,” said MacDonald.

“I decided to move to the

Blues to work with Tana and with Tom Coventry, and nothing has changed in that respect.

“This opportunity has arisen and I am honoured to have been considered for the role.

“I will give it my heart and soul.

“I’ve also talked to Tana and Tom and both of them are both hugely supportive and also very

committed to our combined desire to continue to move this club forward.”

Umaga’s record with the Blues: 2016 - Won 8, Lost 6, Drew 1 Finished 11th 2017 - Won 7, Lost 7, Drew 1 Finished 9th 2018 - Won 4, Lost 12 - Finished 14th - NZME

Latu wants top spot Wallabies hooker Tolu Latu has vowed to find the consistency needed to be first choice in Michael Cheika’s World Cup side next year. Firebrand Latu has endured a roller-coaster 2018 in which he started the season playing club rugby and ended with him earning his first test start in two years against Wales in Cardiff.

Furlong a serious thorn in All Blacks’ side ‘All Blacks slayer’ is a term you don’t hear often especially during the New Zealand’s current reign in world rugby which has produced two World Cup titles and almost nine straight years in the number one ranking.

But Irish prop Tadhg Furlong is about as close as they come to having the rub of the green over Steve Hansen’s men.

Furlong is expected to be named

in the front row for Sunday’s clash in Dublin, which would be his sixth test against the All Blacks.

Not many current players in world rugby have experienced multiple victories over the All Blacks but Furlong and team-mate Johnny Sexton are exceptions.

Furlong started the 2016 test victory in Chicago, his first ever game against the All Blacks and just the ninth test of his career.

Ireland, of course, stunned New Zealand 40-29 to produce their first win over the men in black.

He then experienced what it’s like to lose to the All Blacks just two weeks later in Dublin.

However, the Leinster prop was part of the successful Lions squad last year which produced another victory over the All Blacks and a draw to leave Furlong with just two defeats from

five tests against New Zealand.

Two wins against the All Blacks might not sound like much but consider Wallabies lock Rob Simmons who has played 21 tests against New Zealand to achieve just two victories.

While there have been some claims the All Blacks are vulnerable, ahead of the third Lions test last year Furlong wasn’t game enough to bite at a probe ques-

tioning the All Blacks’ aura after handing them a second defeat.

“It’s a tough question to answer.

You always fear the All Blacks in the way that if you don’t man up and meet them head-on-head it’s a tough day at the office,” Furlong said. “I remember in Dublin coming off the pitch and being absolutely shattered. It was probably one of the most brutal test matches I’ve ever played”.

TODAY’S GOALS: Good - 10 Excellent - 14

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Needing to be right is a human instinct related to processing. No one can proper functionally without a little of it.

Needing to be right all of the time is a sign of emotional and intellectual immaturity.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): It can be challenging to keep your energy vibrant when your domestic situation is complicated. Whatever you can do to lift, smooth or heal your home environment will change who you are out in the world.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Naivety has its advantages.

Functionality is in the hands of the user. She who doesn’t see a thing as broken won’t be bothered with the prospect of fixing it.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Spiritual wonder and faithful decision-making will contribute to your success. This is outside the realm of religion or any school of thought. It’s an instance of magic that you have to be looking for to find.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): On earth, red is hot and blue is cold. In other places in the galaxy, red is among the coldest of heat colours and blue is extremely hot. Consider the larger context.

Matters of scale will colour decisions today.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): After a series of intellectually clear days, pointed toward their purpose, this day will be shrouded in a dreamy mist that obscures all goalposts and destinations. This challenges you to see without your eyes.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): A sure sign of intelligence is being able to look things from multiple angles.

A tolerance for different views, customs, appearances, tastes, etc., is a function of higher intellect, and one you’ll gravitate toward.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You’re generous in most regards; you’re only greedy for the best things in life: love, beauty and truth. Hoard these rarities as you don’t know when you’ll come across them again.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Achieving Earth’s escape velocity takes tremendous energy. But if you go 7 miles per second, you’ll soon be out of gravity’s influence. Or you can escape with your mind; it’s easy, free and necessary for sanity.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): To be stuck in one way of thinking is to be stuck in one way of living.

Your efforts to open your mind on certain matters, while still maintaining the core of who you are, will also open new opportunities.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): No matter how you try to capture what you’ve learned today you won’t be able to pin it down. It’s application is too broad, it’s meaning too meandering across a spectrum of potentials. It’s poetry; it’s jazz.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Love changes, as you’ve noticed. You might think of love as an action, a story, a mood, a time or even an ingredient.

All these ways of thinking about it will work their way into how you attract and enact love.

Footballers relish the sunshine Tim Rodriguez looks to get a pass away during Wednesday night’s round of Mid Canterbury Football’s summer league at Argyle Park. The summer league has seven teams entered at the moment, but more teams are welcome. It’s set to run for six weeks prior to Christmas, and will kick off another six-week period later in January.

It’s all about having fun, with social games for mixed abilities, with simple rules.
