i-SITE crusaders won’t give up

It cost ratepayers about $30,000 to fund two Ashburton District Council commissioned reports that ultimately resulted in the closure of Ashburton’s i-SITE. When Experience Mid Canterbury held its annual meeting last week people wanted to know the costs of those reports.

There were no immediate answers, however, council group manager business support Paul Brake has crunched

the numbers and provided an approximate tally.

The first, the Moran Report written in 2011 came with a $12,000 price tag, while a second, the McCredy-Winder report was written last year.

It came with an all-up cost of $35,000 but was made up of two sets of reviews and recommendations, one for Experience Mid Canterbury and the second for the now defunct Grow Mid Canterbury.

And while the costs were not broken down for the second report, Brake said

it was fair to say they could be divided equally.

In the McCredy Winder report, it showed that 38 per cent of the $386,000 granted by the council to EMC last year was spent on running the Ashburton and Methven i-SITES. For that investment the two centres earned $124,929 in revenue giving a total loss of $48,000 for the year.

Surge in house prices

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

For the first time in several months Ashburton’s housing market appears to have shaken off its winter slow-down.

The median selling price in October sat at $365,000, up 17 per cent on September and 9 per cent on October 2016.

Ashburton’s price rebound was the second strongest in Canterbury, behind Hurunui, 21 per cent. The median price might have been up but the number of properties sold, at 36 was well down on October last year when 44 homes changed hands.

The improving median price, however, did not mean the market was active, said REINZ regional director Jim Davis.

Although there was plenty of stock coming forward, vendors recognised there was slower ac-

tivity in the market, he said.

“The market still feels as though it’s taking a breather and that there is a degree of uncertainty. There are still, however some exceptional sales achieved with multiple interest.”

Over the next few months Davis said, the market was likely to be “tight and tough”.

The median sales price for Canterbury was $450,000, up 4.7 per cent on October 2016.

Only Ashburton and Timaru ($347,500) have median prices under $400,000. Selwyn at $565,000 is the most expensive district in Canterbury to buy.

Nationally the number of homes sold for $1 million or more fell in October by 25 per cent compared to the same month in 2016, and represented about 13 per cent of all homes sold.

Clean-sweep in exams

■ CANTERBURY A&P SHOW

By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

The Big Little Theatre Company are revelling in clean-sweep success following their annual drama exams – with every single young actor awarded top grades.

All 11 students who sat the Trinity College London Acting Exams last week were awarded Distinction, which is the highest award on offer.

The students sat a range of exams from grade one through to grade eight, and the accolades flowed despite a “particularly tough” examiner this year.

Children’s Theatre director Jackie Heffernan said she was enormously proud of all the students that had given “priceless commitment and dedication” to their craft in order to achieve so highly.

“Trinity College has exacting

standards and a reputation internationally it is very keen to uphold for being rigorous and consistent across all exams,” she said.

“I am very, very proud.”

The exams assessed the budding thespians on their improvisation skills, solo acting, acting in pairs, and performance of original work in sessions held at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre.

Heffernan said the acting of two of her grade eight Big Little Theatre Company students scored 59 marks out of 60 – and the performance was enough to give her goosebumps.

The achievement follows similar success in the September exam sessions, when seven more of the company’s actors took out distinctions, along with two merits.

Heffernan said all students had been a delight to teach.

Local breeds Canterbury’s best ‘lovely eating’ Texel lamb

By ColiN williSCroft

colin.w@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury farmer Paul Gardner has taken out the Mint Lamb Competition at the Canterbury A&P Show, following up on his earlier success in the event in 2014.

The competition used to be solely judged on taste but in recent years other criteria have been added to better reflect the demands of the sheep industry.

“Having lambs now is all about yield,” he said, which is why 60 of the 100 points competition are marked on that

criteria. Tenderness accounts for 20 points, with the other 20 points taken from a taste score.

How the points were divided up made no difference to Gardner, as his texel lamb topped all three categories.

He was particularly pleased with his lamb yield of more than 64 per cent, when the average yield at this time of year is closer to 50 per cent.

To enter the competition farmers donate a lamb to the Canterbury A&P Association.

After the animal is killed it is judged on the three criteria,

yield by the hanging carcass’ percentage of liveweight, tenderness through testing at Lincoln, and finally taste testing by four judges at the Sheep Exhibitors’ Club on Wednesday night.

Gardner, who recently downsized from his Mayfield stud to about 20 hectares on Mitcham Road, put his victory down to texels being a high yielding breed that are “lovely eating”.

Although he didn’t enter the competition thinking he was going to win “you just never know, do you?”.

Great coverage “Being able to show different items and photos in each advert gives great coverage of my stock and because of Dairy Focus, I have customers spread all throughout the South Island.”

Art specifically aimed at young art lovers

BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

An exhibition with a difference lured the young and art-enthused to Ashburton Art Gallery on Wednesday afternoon.

The one-day only, children-only Muka Prints exhibition brought together one-off lithographic prints from well-

known artists around the world.

Children between the age of 5 and 18 had the opportunity to peruse the artworks and purchase any that took their fancy for $75. The names of the artists were hidden during the exhibition, so as to discourage purchases purely based on “monetary value”.

The touring exhibition has been around since the 1980s and has paid several visits to Ashburton over the years.

It aims to challenge the “stumbling block” of costly art.

Visitors could only enter once, and purchase a maximum of three artworks.

Domain no dog free-for-all

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Dog owners who let their pets run free in the Ashburton Domain run the risk of being slapped with a $200 fine.

While the Ashburton District Council has set aside a number of parks in the Ashburton District where dogs can run off the leash, the domain is not one of those, said council regulatory manager Rick Catchpowle.

There had been a number of complaints about free roaming dogs in the domain, particularly in the children’s play areas, he said.

Wandering dogs had become a significant and ongoing problem for the council’s dog control contractors and it appeared to be escalating as the weather warmed up, Catchpowle said.

Over the past weekend three dogs were picked up by dog control and all had been reclaimed by their owners.

At times the council pound was full with dogs that had been found wandering and were waiting to be picked up by owners, he said.

Dog owners found with dogs off the lead in lead only areas or whose dog was impounded face a fine of $200.

Dogs are banned from all children’s play areas, paddling pools, cemeteries, all playing surfaces of public sports grounds, public libraries, Lake Clearwater huts and the Lake Camp reserve.

Areas set as free running exercise areas for dogs in Ashburton are: The dog park near the Ashburton River bridge, the green area in Tinwald adjacent to State Highway One, Pioneer Park, Digby Park, Patching Street reserve (excluding the children’s play area), Devon Park and George Glassey Park (both excluding the children’s play area) and the bottom end of Range Street along the river.

From P1 There were bouquets for the two i-SITES in the report, however, with both described as “performing reasonably well”. Compared to their peer groups their cost of public funding per visitor was quite low.

Because the council’s funding of the organisation will decrease by $10,000 each year until 2025 the report’s authors said something had to change if EMC wanted to meet budget. The change that was recommended was the closure of both i-SITES and the Mid Canterbury website.

Rental for i-SITES in Methven and Ashburton cost EMC $23,000 but this is an internal allocation, a grant that is ultimately paid back to the council, Brake said.

Local retailer Tony Todd has been the front of the community fight to save the i-SITE and while its doors remain closed, with the Ashburton Library now doing double duty as an information centre, he says he has not given up the fight to re-establish a town centre information base.

He wants the centre reopened until July 1 to allow the community to be consulted.

“I’ve asked the mayor, does my suggestion have any legs and was told to reopen the building would expose the council and EMC to legal challenge,” he said.

When challenged on the lack of community consultation, Todd said Mayor Donna Favel told him the community didn’t always consult on issues.

“We’re often advised by the public to just get on with the job. We didn’t consult on our decision to have free East Street parking or to close Grow Mid Canterbury,” Favel said.

Because she had received few emailed complaints about the closure, Todd said the mayor told him this indicated people were not concerned.

“She said ‘should I use those 13 emails to take action’, but I said ‘what about the hundreds who turned up to the public rally and signed petitions’?”

He was told a good compromise had been reached by transferring the information function to the public library.

Todd said he had not given up the fight to have a central town information centre and planned to gather a group of like-minded people to decide where-to next.

With the i-SITE closed, the future of the building is uncertain.

Favel told Todd that there were a number of charity groups interested in moving into the site and that some could relocate almost immediately.

When it was built, a resource consent was granted for an information centre. Any change of use would mean a new resource consent would be needed, said council environmental service manager Jane Donaldson.

A number of ideas were being floated for the building’s use but Donaldson believes one that could have community appeal would be as a citizen’s advice bureau. That could mean it remained with in its resource consent parameters.

Once a family home, now just rubble

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

It would have been many months in construction and for more than 100 years it was home to many families, but in just a few hours an elderly villa on Havelock Street became rubble.

The Ashburton District Council-owned building has outlived its useful live and has now been demolished.

Over the years it was a family home, was turned into flats and once it passed into council ownership it became the base for several council linked activities – Ashburton Tourism, the Ashburton Enterprise Agency and Safer Ashburton.

In recent years it did a turn as overflow office space for council staff but last year staff moved out to warmer quarters in the adjacent council building, taking over the third floor rooms previously used as meeting rooms and the district’s council chamber.

Key features of the old building were removed to be sold.

Yesterday the villa was simply a pile of broken boards and masonry waiting to be carted to landfill.

One killed in crash A person has died following a car crash on the West Coast yesterday.

Emergency services were called to the one-vehicle crash on State Highway 6, Harihari Highway, at around 2.10pm, after a van rolled near Happy Valley Road.

A woman has died at the scene and ambulance staff attended to six other occupants from the vehicle who had varying injuries.

The Serious Crash Unit are investigating.

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 161117-SN-016 Once the site is cleared it will remain vacant until it once again provides temporary accommodation for council staff.

When the new civic build-

ing and library are built in Baring Square east, the old County Council building, currently housing council chambers and meeting rooms, will be demol-

ished. A temporary building will then be sited where the villa once stood to provide temporary meeting space for councillors and council staff.

■ FISH AND GAME SALMON SYMPOSIUM

Sage vows to restore rivers New Conservation Minister Eugenie Sage won repeated rounds of applause in Ashburton as she promised to improve water quality.

In one of her first addresses in her new role, Sage was critical of what she described as the previous government’s inaction.

“That is going to change. We need to restore flows in our rivers,” she said.

Sage was addressing delegates at Fish and Game’s two-day Salmon Symposium in Ashburton, where she also attracted vocal support in promising to boost Department of Conservation funding and restore democracy to ECan.

In brief

Anglers were warned at the symposium that they are now in a last-ditch battle to save New Zealand’s wild salmon population.

More than 120 attended, and also heard from local and international experts about possible causes for the decline.

Wild Chinook salmon are highly valued by freshwater anglers and are found mainly in the South Island’s West Coast, Canterbury, Otago and Marlborough regions.

However, in recent years, numbers have dropped sharply, causing increasing concern among anglers.

Opening the symposium, Fish and Game chief executive Martin

Taylor told delegates he is committed to halting the decline.

“The big issue is not what caused the salmon population fall but what is now preventing its recovery,” Taylor said.

“We need solutions and my promise is that I will be doing my best to deliver on them. If that means challenging the status quo and upsetting some people, then so be it.”

One of the symposium organisers Matthew Hall said anglers need to stop talking and start taking action.

“We are fighting a last-ditch battle to save our wild salmon.

We need to go hard.”

North American salmon expert

David Willis said climate change has caused falls in salmon populations across the Pacific.

Willis, who works for Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans, says action to halt that decline needs to start now.

New Zealand experts told delegates water quality, sedimentation, irrigation and lack of fencing around spawning streams are all having an impact on local salmon numbers.

Hall and fellow symposium organiser Trevor Isitt say the symposium was a success and provided an action plan. The first step will be establishing a Salmon Action Committee to co-ordinate the recovery strategy.

People trafficking charges have been laid against a Bangladeshi couple who are New Zealand citizens. The couple were jointly charged under the Crimes Act 1961 for arranging by deception the entry of two Bangladeshi nationals into New Zealand. The pair appeared at the Auckland District Court yesterday and were remanded on bail until December 11 on the charges brought by Immigration New Zealand. The couple and the victims have been granted interim name suppression.

Drug raid A drug raid at an Auckland house yesterday is part of a wider police operation targeting cannabis cultivation. A police spokesman said they were currently conducting search warrants in regards to cannabis cultivation at several addresses across Auckland.

There was no further information available as the operation was ongoing. A house on Roseberry Avenue in Birkenhead was raided earlier yesterday about 8am a local resident, who asked not to be named, said. He said there was “a whole heap of junk” sitting outside the house, and people inside wearing boiler suits.

Police arrest unlawful Police unlawfully arrested, and used unjustified force on, a man in Lower Hutt on December 23, says the Independent Police Conduct Authority. A man complained to the authority in October 2016 about the arrest. The man had refused to discuss a trespass notice the police were trying serve and tried to close a door on one of the officers. The officer then sprayed him with pepper spray and arrested him for common assault.

The Tart Tin – sweet creations Matt Cross is the perfect example of good things growing from small beginnings.

He’s a Kiwi trained chef who has spent plenty of time overseas perfecting his craft.

A return home to Dunedin saw him start dabbling in sweet creations at the Otago Farmers’ Market and since 2000 he’s been a regular.

His weekly stall specialises in tarts, baby cakes and macaroons and most weekends there’s a long queue waiting to buy their weekly treats from his retro caravan.

Dark Chocolate Tart

The first Maori Miss New Zealand Moana Whaanga.

First Maori Miss New Zealand dies Moana Whaanga, the first Maori woman to be crowned Miss New Zealand and the first Kiwi to compete at Miss Universe, died on Wednesday night.

She was 82.

Whaanga (nee Manley), who moved from Rotorua to Auckland as a child, was also a champion swimmer who was selected for the Commonwealth Games.

She entered the 1956 Miss New Zealand pageant to help raise money for her swimming club and was surprised when she was crowned the winner.

“I was a very shy girl. The only thing that I had going for me what that I was a swimmer, and that took a lot of the shyness away. I remember this time being very special,” she told Mana magazine in 2016.

The Maori world was so proud of having their first beauty queen that many groups organised a huge fundraising drive to send Whaanga to the 1957 Miss Universe contest in California.

In Rotorua, the people of Te

Arawa, led by Guide Rangi, dug deep into their pockets to support Whaanga’s bid.

She married Maui Whaanga, from Nuhaka, and the couple spent many years teaching together at rural schools.

She was a loving mother to Moana Iti, Moerangi, Mark Mel and Mia. She had 16 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

Whaanga was surrounded by whanau when she died after suffering a stroke a week ago.

Mel said his mother would be missed.

“Mum was a private person.

She loved her whanau, she loved New Zealand. You could ask if she was a Maori first, or a Kiwi first or a mother first. Mum encompassed all roles and brought everyone together. That is her legacy.”

A service for Whaanga will be held on Saturday at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Chapel, Manukau.

Employment opportunities go begging Sue Newman

SENIOR REPORTER

W

hat a missed opportunity – soon to be redundant Dunedin Cadbury’s workers looking for work and we weren’t out there chasing them.

An employment expo in Dunedin last weekend was designed to help the 350 workers who will lose their jobs when the city’s chocolate factory closes find new employment opportunities. We weren’t there but Timaru was and they’ll be the winners as the regions compete for employees.

Apparently there were dozens of people willing to relocate north for a good job and the Timaru District Council’s economic development arm, Aoraki Development was there and listening.

Staff came home armed with CVs they’ll be delivering to their businesses in an effort to match job seekers and job vacancies.

That could have been us. But it wasn’t. We had no one to do the job.

For months we’ve been sitting in economic development limbo.

The Ashburton District Council axed Grow Mid Canterbury because that organisation wasn’t doing what needed to be done (no argument there), but nothing’s been set up in its place.

For more than a year there’s been no go-to organisation for business information, with which to explore business opportunities or just for advice. There’s been no one pushing the district’s economic cause, no one flying our flag and no one focusing on fixing our worker shortage.

Mayor Donna Favel has tried to fill the gap but it’s neither her job nor her forte. Her job is running the district, making sure the blocks are in place that will keep us moving forward, that will ensure our infrastructure is up to scratch and that new developments occur on time and on budget. Her job is not finding workers nor is it economic development.

The council commissioned a team of experts to look at where to now in terms of its economic development spend, but the where to has been a long time in coming. Yes, the economic strategy is on the council’s December agenda but that will just be the starting point; there will be many discussions and debates before anything concrete is hammered out. In the meantime the opportunities slide by.

Let’s hope the long awaited economic strategy development delivers. We need a new organisation that has just one clearly defined goal – growing this district’s economy.

Discontent over ‘cheap’ horse-trading The first ripples of discontent have emerged in the new Government, as Labour and New Zealand First criticise the Greens for “cheap” horse-trading for considering a deal in exchange for supporting a waka-jumping bill.

An internal email reveals that the Green Party is considering negotiating for a National Day marking the invasion of Parihaka in exchange for its support on waka-jumping, which was part of the Labour-NZ First coalition deal.

The Greens have opposed waka-jumping in the past.

But Labour’s Justice Minister Andrew Little has described the idea as “cheap horse-trading”, while New Zealand First MP Shane Jones suggested the Greens could benefit from some expert advice from Helen Clark’s number two, Heather Simpson, who is currently working in Jacinda Ardern’s office.

“The sooner that Heather Simpson goes to visit the Greens, the better. The waka-jumping bill is an important bill. It played a key feature in the development of the Government.”

A waka-jumping bill is a new addition to the Government’s 100-day plan and would ensure a party’s proportional representation in Parliament, if an MP left a party.

The Green Party’s justice spokeswoman Golriz Ghahraman, in an internal email accidentally sent to Fairfax, floated the idea of trying to garner support for a National Parihaka Day – the subject of a Green private member’s bill.

“The Government won’t have the numbers to pass the [wakajumping] legislation without us, and if we decided to oppose it then they would need to consider other options such as approaching the National Party, who opposed the 2005 bill,” the email says.

“Opposing the bill would cause political tensions, given the inclusion of the bill in the LabourNZ First coalition agreement.

“Our Confidence and Supply Agreement gives us the independence to choose to vote against it. Supporting the bill would be seen as changing and weakening a long-standing and public party position. It would risk criticism from our core supporters.”

During the parallel coalition negotiations, Green’s co-leader James Shaw put his faith in Jacinda Ardern to ensure that there was nothing in the Labour-NZF deal that the Greens would object

to – though he conceded there might be policies that he might not be comfortable with.

New Zealand First leader Winston Peters poured scorn on horse-trading tactics.

“We don’t horse trade. We don’t trade principles ... We’re not going to do deals. This is a matter of principle.

“And the principles are, if waka-hopping destroys proportionality, it has to be dealt with. If Parihaka is a meritorious [idea], then it should be dealt with separately. But we should not, surely, you would think in 2017, be trading these matters.”

Peters said he was not aware of any discussions to do with the waka-jumping bill and Parihaka.

“Maybe they’re having discussions with somebody else, but not with New Zealand First.”

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said doing a deal with the Greens over waka-jumping had not come up “in direct conversation”.

She said she has not given much thought to a National Parihaka Day. “I certainly am pleased to see greater observance of those days of New Zealand’s history. I think we should encourage that.

Whether or not it becomes a day off is an entirely different issue.”

Ghahraman declined to comment when contacted by the Herald yesterday.

A spokesperson for the Green Party said the email was an “internal document that was sent in error”.

“It’s not surprising that Labour Party and Green Party MPs are having these kinds of constructive conversations and working together; in fact, that’s what New Zealanders expect of government parties.

“It’s commonplace for ministers and MPs to have these kind of conversations – that will continue,” the spokesperson said.

Artists have built a Donald Trump fortune teller machine that spews hatred like Trump himself.

Do you believe?

I

am not a believer when it comes to fortune tellers or psychics. If they were real, wouldn’t they all be rich after all their Lotto wins?

AND here’s the real kicker for me, why have they never solved a case on the telly show Sensing Murder?

In my opinion, I think they are very clever at deception and calculation.

I know a lot of people won’t agree with that and are firm believers, but I once read if you start a statement with “In my opinion”, you’ll never make a false one.

With all that in mind, let’s see how good this so-called psychic, who apparently predicted the election of Donald Trump is. He has revealed his expectations for 2018.

Craig Hamilton-Parker is from the United Kingdom and his list includes a revolution in North Korea that brings down Kim Jong-un’s regime, a terrorist incident on a British motorway, a chemical weapons attack by drones on a European capital and Prince Harry’s engagement to Meghan Markle.

He said in his blog: “2018 will

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

be a year of political turmoil and environmental crisis caused by dramatic and unprecedented weather.”

HELLO! I think most of us can see that coming Craig.

But to be fair he does go a bit deeper than that.

And New Zealand gets a mention!

Here are the highlights from the medium and psychic teacher’s list ...

Environmental predictions Mount Vesuvius in Italy will erupt and Naples will be evacuated.

There will be an increase in seismic activity – including places that have been tremor free for 1000 years – with one very serious earthquake in New Zealand.

The southern seas will be impassable in places due to a massive ice shelf breaking from the

Antarctic. There will be wildfires in California and Australia, as well as flooding in India and China.

There will be record hurricanes in the Caribbean.

Economic predictions An Italian banking crisis will cause chaos and many will lose their homes.

The Euro will plummet and towards the end of 2018 and into 2019, there will be riots as the steep economic decline takes hold.

The UK and USA will be hit by the weak Euro but their economies will bounce back quickly and the pound and dollar will be seen as safe havens for international money and investment.

Denmark and Italy will pull out of the EU as the Euro crashes.

USA predictions An attempt to impeach Donald Trump in the middle of 2018 will fail and he will become more popular as a result.

Trump will initiate a massive trade deal with the UK ahead of Brexit that will shake the EU. The deal will concern arms, hightech services and the motor in-

dustry. The Mexico border wall will not be built. It will instead consist of drones and sensors.

The US will lose trade in the East as China and Russia form a military and economic alliance in response to the North Korean crisis and US protectionism.

A US warship will be sunk by a mine or terrorist operation.

The dollar will take a tumble in February but will recover.

Melania Trump and her husband’s grandchildren will release a song to help raise funds for charity.

US will rent nuclear weapons to Japan.

There will be a big fire in Las Vegas.

I’m sure we all agree there’s some pretty scary stuff there, especially the Melania song!

■ ZIMBABWE

Chinese ‘permission’ The general behind Zimbabwe’s coup may have sought Chinese approval days before the army launched its takeover of Robert Mugabe’s government, it emerged yesterday.

Mugabe remained under house arrest, still president of Zimbabwe if in name alone, a prisoner of once slavishly loyal generals who now hold the country’s fate in their hands, the Daily Telegraph reports.

As the former British colony faced a deeply uncertain future under military tutelage, a trip to Beijing by General Constantine Chiwenga, the head of the armed forces, last week has reignited concerns about rising Chinese influence in Africa.

The general held high-level meetings with officials from the Defence Ministry, and visited a school to observe a Shaolin Kung Fu class.

Although the Chinese foreign ministry insisted Chiwenga’s visit was a “routine visit”, analysts have suggested that Beijing may have given the rebellious army chief its tacit blessing in advance.

Fired vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa and his allies have made conscious efforts to court Beijing as both an investor and a military partner.

China, which has displaced Western rivals to become Af-

Brodie’s last day on TV Brodie Kane told her co-hosts she couldn’t be in the TVNZ studio yesterday – her last day on air as part of the Breakfast team. Instead, Kane reported live from a boat in the Marlborough Sounds – while indulging in several glasses of wine. “I couldn’t be in the studio because I’m a little bit emotionally wobbly,” she admitted to Hilary Barry and Jack Tame back in the Breakfast studio.

Kane admitted she was just “chilling” and trying to avoid tears on her last day, a ploy that seemed to be working. “The serenity here is outstanding. We’re just chilling on the boat.”

Chinese Defence Minister General Chang Wanquan hosted the Zimbabwean general.

rica’s largest trading partner and is a major investor in Zimbabwe, notably declined to call for Mugabe’s restoration yesterday, despite his long ties to Beijing dating back to the Cold War.

Last year, China pledged to invest $US4 billion in Zimbabwe for investment, loans and aid over the next three years.

Responding to the coup, the Chinese foreign ministry merely stated that Beijing was

“paying close attention to developments” in the country, prompting suggestions that China had agreed to sacrifice “Comrade Mugabe” in the interests of an orderly succession.

Horror as gardener killed by bees A young gardener has died at a farm after being stung by a swarm of bees in a freak attack.

Steven “Tangles” Tingate, 27, was working on a farm in Victoria when he was stung numerous times.

It’s understood a swarm of bees attacked Tingate as he was tending to a produce garden.

A co-worker administered immediate first aid and paramedics were called but Tingate could not be saved.

He had moved to the region to take up the dream gardening job.

Ballan Bowling Club president David O’Hanlon said that Tingate was a much-loved figure at the club.

Its flag will fly at half-mast.

“It’s just a big shock to everyone,” O’Hanlon said.

“You couldn’t meet a more outgoing person.

“He was valuable to anyone and any club.

“He was always willing to help out in some way.

“You name it he had something to do with it.”

The sexiest man alive?

It’s official: Blake Shelton is the sexiest man alive. At least, according to People Magazine, who have this year bestowed their annual honour to the country crooner and US The Voice coach. “I’ve been ugly my whole life,” Shelton, 41, said. “If I can be sexy for a year, I’m taking it!” People’s announcement that they’d crowned Shelton – the latest in a long line of stars including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Ryan Reynolds and David Beckham – was met with some interesting reactions on social media.

People did not hold back.

Manson reportedly close to death Ashen. Gaunt. Weak.

Charles Manson, the once charismatic leader of a 1960s cult embroiled in a series of high-profile murders is reportedly on death’s door.

TMZ states it has been told 83-year-old Manson was rushed from prison to a Bakersfield hospital three days ago.

He’s apparently been receiving treatment since – under the close supervision of five attending police officers.

It’s not Manson’s first death scare. In January he was hospitalised for internal bleeding, and was judged too weak for surgery by doctors.

But he bounced back.

Manson was convicted for masterminding the August 1969 murders of nine people across Los Angeles, including pregnant actor Sharon Tate.

Manson was released from a 10-year jail sentence in 1967 before heading to San Francisco and embracing the rise of flower-power culture.

Embarking on a life of sex and drug orgies, the charismatic leader called his followers his “Family” – preaching a vision of an impending race war.

His desire to spark that race war saw him order his followers to conduct several brutal killings.

When the music video for Charli XCX’s Boys was released in July, it was impossible to resist. An infectious hook, a beat that sampled Super Mario Bros sound effects, and all those beautiful, famous boys – what more could you want? It was a self-aware viral hit; one that playfully used its star power to celebrate male sexuality. But when asked about whether the song’s central lyric, “I was busy thinking ‘bout boys,” is intended to be liberating or parodic – and almost straight off the bat, she makes a refreshingly frank admission. “I didn’t write the song,” she says. “I’m aware that I’m supposed to lie and say I wrote it or whatever, but I’m terrible at doing that shit.”

■ INVESTOR RETURNS

In brief

KiwiSaver’s big earners

much of New Zealand’s KiwiSaver money is sitting.

The best of the conservative funds was the Aon KiwiSaver scheme’s conservative fund which had a net benefit of $8164.

Second was the SuperLife KiwiSaver scheme’s conservative fund which gave $7182 followed by the Fisher Funds Two KiwiSaver fund (the former Tower-run default scheme) – conservative

whose net benefit was $6597.

SuperRatings chief executive Kirby Rappell said the range in the net benefits showed there were a number of providers making a real difference to members’ balances.

“It is also important to point out that some of the funds with high net benefit values are not necessarily those offering the lowest fees.”

Genoapay, whose payment platform is available in 210 merchant stores around the country and upwards of 60 independent automotive, dental, veterinary, and hair and beauty stores, is planning to expand into Australia early next year and will then explore the prospect of a US foray. Chief executive and founder Shaun Quincey says Genoapay is signing five new merchants a day - NZME

The fees versus investment returns debate has been running hot in the industry with the entry of low cost KiwiSaver provider Simplicity into the market. It has only been running for a year which means its data is not included.

Government and industry regulator the Financial Markets Authority has also been focused on fees.

Next year KiwiSaver providers will have to give the dollar value of the fees they are charging in the annual members statements which come out around April and May. The move has sparked a warning from the New Zealand Shareholders Association that people will just compare the dollar amount of their fees without taking into account how much money they have in their KiwiSaver accounts. The saved amount is important because a large portion of the fees is a percentage charge which is based on this.

The association wants both the dollar amount and the percentage figure to be in the statement.

Property values rocket The average Auckland residential property value has jumped by 45 per cent across the region, taking the average house value in the city to $1.076m. Auckland Council has revealed the total value of all residential properties across the region. Papakura, PapatoetoeOtara and Waiheke Island sat well above the average, having risen in value by more than 60 per cent.

Steel Tube writedown Steel & Tube Holdings’ first-half earnings may fall as much as 38 per cent reflecting a writedown of inventory, restructuring costs and margin pressures. The guidance comes as the company holds its annual meeting in Wellington. First-half earnings before interest and tax would be $9-to-$10 million below the year-earlier period.

ON THE MARKETS

comparable period, earnings missed company and market expectations.

The biggest impact to the result was an increase in costs that were largely driven by the disruptions caused by the Kaikoura Earthquake. These disruptions and additional costs are expected to decrease in the second half of the year and management expect an improved performance.

Mainfreight’s valuation in the lead up to the result was fairly lofty, so the reaction from the market was negative. However these losses were pared back later in the day.

In the US, market sentiment took a hit as the Senate Finance committee issued an iterance of the proposed tax reform legislation. The tax plan would both repeal the Obamacare mandate and give permanent tax cuts to US corporates only.

These changes saw the bill lose support from some Republicans, putting the highly anticipated tax reform in jeopardy.

One of the driving factors of the market rally this year has been the promise of tax reform from President Trump, however, much like the promised healthcare reform, these are now in jeopardy, which has weighed on sentiment and has seen markets decline.

Commodity prices came under pressure this week, weighing on mining stocks across the globe.

Oil prices fell after the US government reported an unexpected increase in crude and gasoline stockpiles. The decline was exacerbated by the International Energy Agency’s report that there would be slower growth in global crude demand, slashing prior estimates by 100,000 barrels a day.

The Australian index was hit hard, as the resource heavy index felt the brunt of these declines.

However, this was pushed aside as political issues again took the spotlight. The results of the historic non-binding referendum on same sex marriage were announced during the week and saw 61.6 per cent of voters saying yes to marriage equality.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has said that he would like this acted on by Christmas and the bill will now be debated in Parliament. This still presents a major hurdle for Australia, with a significant number of MPs opposing the bill.

Economic data in Aussie was mixed, with consumer confidence rising, although still missing expectations. Wage growth was much softer than expected, with quarterly growth of 0.48 per cent coming in well below forecasts for a 0.7 per cent increase. For the year wages grew 2.01 per cent, also missing expectations.

The market week in review here was a lot less on the agenda for investors this week with the AGM and reporting season again the focus for New Zealand and Australia.

Falls in commodity prices have also pushed many markets across the globe down, while the uncertainty around proposed tax legislation changes in the US has weighed on sentiment.

Although this is the quietest of the reporting seasons locally, it comes with a number of annual meetings for shareholders.

These often contain more accurate updates to forecasts and guidance, as they come following the first quarter of trading.

Australian based Ramsay Health Care held its annual meeting, reaffirming full year guidance of 8-10 per cent earnings growth. It expects continued strong growth from the core Australian business, despite industry data pointing to ongoing softness in volumes.

However, French and UK conditions remain challenging. The market rewarded the confirmation of guidance which saw its share price rally.

One of the most noteworthy results from this reporting season came from Xero, with the company announcing its intention to delist from the NZX and consolidate its ASX listing.

The announcement overshadowed the otherwise solid half year result and saw the share price come under significant pressure, although this has been moderated by a rebound this week.

Mainfreight also released its half year result.

New research has revealed which KiwiSaver funds have made the biggest dollar returns for savers over the past five years taking into account both fees and investment performance.

Australian research firm SuperRatings based its analysis on a person earning $50,000 who already had $20,000 saved in their KiwiSaver account at the start of the five years and contributed at a rate of 3 per cent per year with 17.5 per cent tax.

It then factored in the actual fees charged and investments returns of that specific fund.

Milford Asset Managements growth KiwiSaver fund topped the growth category delivering $20,395 in net benefits to investors over the past five years.

It’s nearest competitor – the OneAnswer KiwiSaver scheme run by ANZ bank gave a net benefit of $15,091, followed by the Aon KiwiSaver scheme which gave $14,975.

The net benefit to those invested in growth funds was nearly double that of those in the lower risk conservative category where

Perfect timing for an Equinox

T

he most popular Sport Utility Vehicle in the General Motors new vehicle portfolio, the Equinox has been confirmed for launch in New Zealand soon.

Sold in more than 170 markets around the world including North America, Asia and the Middle East, the Holden Equinox will be the newest model as part of the brand’s ongoing rejuvenation which will see the launch of 24 new models between 2016-2020.

The new Equinox will initially debut with a range of petrol powered derivatives, followed by diesel variants in the first half of 2018.

The arrival of the impressive featurerich model signals an opportunity for Holden to take a leadership position in the mid-size SUV segment.

“The medium SUV segment is the largest and fastest growing part of the new vehicle market, accounting for almost 17 per cent of sales at the end of August year to date,” said Managing Director of Holden New Zealand, Kristian Aquilina.

“Holden is now in a position to debut an all-new nameplate into this important part of the market and will be taking the fight to established players with the launch of seven different specification levels of Equinox, including a variety of powertrains and transmission-speed options.”

Available engines include a 1.6-litre diesel and a 1.5-litre petrol, but the undoubted star of the show is a powerful

and incredibly responsive 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder petrol engine which generates 186kW of power and 350Nm of torque – more than 60kW more powerful than its nearest competitor.

The three entry models feature twowheel drive, while all-wheel drive is standard on the two LTZ and the two higher specification LTZ-V models.

“We have been evaluating a petrol LT

two-wheel drive here in New Zealand over recent months and it’s been incredibly well received by everyone who has driven it,” said Mr Aquilina. “It’s powerful, it’s responsive, it has excellent all-round visibility and feedback from our staff is unanimous in their praise of the new model.”

As would be expected from a vehicle competing in this class, safety systems feature prominently across the entire range,

as do creature comforts and leading edge technology.

Systems include a touchscreen with Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, rear park assist and camera while higher specification models benefit from 19” alloys, LED headlamps and tail lamps, rain-sensing wipers, wireless phone charging, front and rear seat heating topped off with a Bose® premium audio system.

Volvo still safety kings

I

n a competitive round of testing which saw Euro NCAP 5 star ratings awarded to all nine vehicles released, Volvo is still setting the standard in car safety.

The new Volvo XC60 has aced the exacting test protocols said Matthew Avery director of research at Thatcham Research.

“It’s exceedingly rare for a vehicle to score so favourably across the board.

“The adult occupant protection result for the Volvo XC60 is one of the best on record. But it’s in active safety that Volvo is really maintaining its lead.

“The XC60’s standard-fit safety technologies are excellent – or rather those that we were able to test, as its Turn Across Path and Run off Road systems are not yet a feature of the Euro NCAP programme. That’s how high the Volvo XC60 is above the bar set by Euro NCAP.” The Volvo XC60’s Safety Assist score (95%), is 40 per cent above the average for cars tested this year, with the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system scoring maximum points when tested at highway speeds, as well as successfully avoiding collisions at all test speeds and in all scenarios.

The new VW Polo was also tested in October, offering a late challenge to the SEAT Ibiza, Thatcham Research’s supermini safety choice of 2017 so far.

Avery comments, “It’s great to see the VW Polo, a likely top seller not only performing so well in impact testing, but also

coming off the forecourt with standard-fit AEB and Lane Assist systems.”

The remaining vehicles tested were all SUVs, continuing the trend for strong safety performers in the category.

The Citroën C3 Aircross, Opel / Vauxhhall Crossland X, VW T-Roc, Skoda Karoq and Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross all achieved Euro NCAP 5 star ratings. However, the Citroën C3 Aircross and Opel / Vauxhall

Crossland do not come with standard-fit AEB systems.

The SEAT Arona, which is structurally almost identical to the SEAT Ibiza rated earlier in 2017 by Euro NCAP and has the same fitment of safety equipment, was also awarded the maximum Euro NCAP 5 star rating.

Thatcham Research is the independent voice of automotive safety & repair,

advising motorists, insurers and vehicle manufacturers to help reduce accident frequency, severity and costs and to realise the vision of ‘Safer cars, fewer crashes’.

As well as its world leading crash and track research, Thatcham Research tests and accredits crash repair parts, vehicle repair technicians, and a number of other products and services within the collision repair industry.

Wheels keep turning

D

uring his working life Ron Galletly needed vehicles which were workhorses.

Commercial vehicles.

And because of that he is keen that the important part commercial vehicles play in our lives should be recognised and enjoyed.

He is a keen supporter of the Commercial section of the Vintage Car Club and has organised several runs for this type of vehicle.

His next run will take place on Saturday November 25, starting at 9 am sharp with a cuppa and biscuits at the Vintage Car Club premises on Maronan Road.

Ron’s wife Marilyn shares his interest and they say their run will showcase four interesting Mid Canterbury places close to town, three of which have a commercial focus.

Lunch, for which there is a small charge ($10 pp), will be served along the way.

The run won’t be too long, but if the Galletly’s previous runs are anything to go by it will be fun.

Ron says anyone is welcome to join them on the day and the group would like to see any commercial vehicle – for example truck, van, taxi, hearse, taking part.

Ron and Marilyn themselves will be travelling in their beautifully restored 1939 Dodge TC pickup.

In his younger days Ron owned a pickup and always hoped he could get another one.

The opportunity came along when he had the chance to buy the Dodge from a family in Sheffield.

As well as being a pickup truck it had a couple of features which appeal to Ron – long running boards and mudguards.

The Dodge had been fitted with a larger motor, but much to Ron’s delight the original block was found under a pile of firewood, from which he retrieved it.

Ultimately the original motor was rebuilt and put back where it belongs. It’s a 218 cubic inch 6-cylinder power plant, which runs smoothly.

Then one day it looked like the Dodge would fail its warrant of fitness, because of a loose door.

Ron and Marilyn now laugh, as they say that door lead to a full restoration.

A restoration to original specifications which happened over two years and resulted in their truck being recognised with the Concours Award at the 2007 South Island Easter Rally.

Certainly a case of one door opens ...

Parts for the restoration were easily obtained from the States, where some examples of this model of Dodge were built.

7

Others, including Ron and Marilyn’s truck, were manufactured in Canada.

There are subtle differences between the American and Canadian models.

The Galletlys use the Dodge quite often because it is so comfortable, easily keeps up with modern traffic and is so easy to steer.

“No power steering required,” says Ron. Ron and Marilyn are looking forward to driving the Dodge on the Commercial Run.

Ready for the Prom

Ricky May and Naholo have the finish line in their sights in the Inkwise NZ Mobile Pace at Ashburton yesterday.

Naholo back on track

By Matt MarkhaM matt.m@theguardian

If Brendon Hill needed to find a measure of just how good his debutant winner Naholo was at Ashburton yesterday, then his cellphone told him all he needed to know.

Hill’s phone was red-hot after the impressive performance on the pacer with congratulatory messages and the odd question or two from bloodstock agents looking to see if the three-yearold gelding was on the market.

For the right price, every horse is on the market, but Hill was finding more pleasure in things getting back on track for his stable than he was in the interest in his latest potential star.

which not much went right, Hill was a lot more chipper after Cullenburn’s third on Cup Day in the Sires’ Stakes Final and the performance of both Naholo and his earlier debutant Double Oh Heaven who found the line with purpose.

“The Cullenburn result was huge, we were the last horse in the field and everything worked out perfectly,” Hill said.

“He was due some luck though, so it was nice to get some.”

There’s always been the feeling that Locharburn’s brother wouldn’t reach his potential until his four-year-old season and that still looks on track. He’s getting better, but he can get even better yet.”

Naholo had him beaming after one of the performances of the day. Near last on the bend on a decent speed, the son of Panspacificflight came home with a wet sail to win impressively for Ricky May. Things didn’t quite go to plan in the race though.

“I wasn’t supposed to drive him like that, but it worked out ok,” May said. “We were supposed to be on the speed, but with them running along so strongly, I wasn’t too worried.

“He’s a pretty nice horse.”

Owned by Hill and Glen Scott, Naholo was purchased by Scott at the yearling sales and has been impressing his trainer ever since.

talent had been there. He should keep improving too and turn into quite a nice horse in time.”

Whether that’s in the Brendon Hill stable or not though, remains to be seen.

“If the right money is offered then anything is possible.”

As well as Naholo’s performance, there was plenty to like about the win of Summer Wealth half an hour later.

The former Nathan Williamson trained pacer was sent to the Robert Dunn stable and delivered in great style.

“He’s got a really big motor and I mean a really big motor.

“We will probably head to Geraldine with him next and then look at Westport if everything goes to plan.”

Had Saturday’s Gr.1 gavehouse.com NZ 1000 Guineas preceded the NZ 2000 Guineas rather than following it seven days later, Riccarton racegoers might have had two chances to enjoy glamour filly Prom Queen. Trainer Kenny Rae has revealed that while his prime target had always been the 1000 Guineas, he would have loved the opportunity to take on the boys as well. “She beat Age Of Fire at Ashburton and he’s gone on and finished second in the 2000 Guineas so she would have been competitive.” Prom Queen is at $1.60 to win the Guineas. - NZME

Statham off to USA Invercargill horse Statham has been sold and will do his future racing in North America. Like many good horses to leave our shores in recent seasons, the son of Bettor’s Delight will be joining the New York stable of former Australian, Peter Tritton. He will become a stablemate of the likes of Bit Of A Legend, Mossdale Connor, Mackenzie and Pacing Major.

History to repeat?

Allan Shutkowski only trained one winner last season and he would happily let it happen again this season provided it’s the exact same race. The Blenheim hobby trainer takes his mare C A Penny to Addington today to defend her $40,000 Southern Mares Classic from 12 months ago. She won at upset odds nearing $50 last year and, as Shutkowski points out, there is a bit of symmetry with that race tomorrow, too. “She’s drawn exactly the same as last year and she’s been let go by bookies again.”

In brief Manager sacked Italy have announced they have sacked manager Gian Piero Ventura with immediate effect.

The 69-year-old was under the spotlight after failing to guide the iconic European side to next summer’s World Cup. Defeat by Sweden over two legs meant Italy failed to book themselves a World Cup place for only the second time in their history. It is the first time in 60 years the Azzurri have missed out on the pinnacle tournament of world football.

Roar plot turnaround John Aloisi knows how quickly the A-League ladder can change and is confident his winless Brisbane Roar can start moving up it with tonight’s clash against Melbourne City. Most neutral observers have already written them off as a finals threat but Aloisi believes they’ve turned a corner after drawing their past three matches – including a 1-1 comeback away to Melbourne Victory last week. And with Fahid Ben Khalfallah and Mitch Oxborrow in line to return from injury for the Suncorp Stadium clash, Aloisi expects Brisbane’s fortunes are about to improve.

Cup dream shattered

By Michael Burgess One World Cup dream is over, while another can finally begin.

New Zealand’s hopes of heading to Russia next year have been extinguished, after a 2-0 loss to Peru in Lima.

The result also means that Peru’s 35 year World Cup nightmare – after decades of near misses to qualify for Fifa’s showpiece – has ended.

Just like in Wellington, it was an incredibly tense match.

Peru took a deserved lead midway through the first half, with a fierce drive from Jefferson Farfan, after earlier hitting the crossbar in the third minute.

But the All Whites – after struggling to gain a foothold in the match at all in the first half – came back well in the second, with Chris Wood having an instant impact.

But when Christian Ramos extended the Peruvian lead midway through the second half, after the All Whites defenders

were caught ball watching from a deep cross, it was a long road back.

If the All Whites have any regrets, it will be for the conservative approach they took in the first half.

Perhaps in anticipation of the Peruvian onslaught, Bill Tuiloma was added to the midfield, with Kosta Barbarouses in a lone ranger role up front while Wood started from the bench.

It was an understandable approach, but didn’t really work, as it meant that Ryan Thomas, Clayton Lewis and Michael McGlinchey struggled to get on the ball at all, while Peru grabbed all the initiative and momentum.

The game opened up in the second half, and the All Whites showed what is possible when they kept the ball on the ground, but by then it was too late.

It was an unbelievable atmosphere in the Estadio Nacional stadium – surely one of the toughest missions any New Zea-

land sports team has ever faced.

The crowd was whipped into a frenzy by kick-off time, after days of anticipation, and the Peruvian team responded.

They were much sharper than in the first leg, constantly pulling the All Whites from side to side, especially in the first half.

It was tough for the visiting team, who struggled to retain possession for any decent periods, while facing constant pressure from the South American side.

After some stout defending – as they were starting to work their way into the game – the circumstances of the first Peruvian goal were disappointing.

The All Whites were caught out by a swift counter-attack, with Winston Reid forced to come across and cover Christian Cueva.

Cueva made space well, then delivered a killer ball to Farfan, who smashed it past Stefan Marinovic.

That moment ultimately

changed the face of the game.

Until then the pressure had been noticably building, and the 45,000 crowd were starting to get impatient and obviously frustrated.

The Peruvians were finding space at will, but couldn’t create clear chances and some nerves were starting to show.

Barbarouses had a penalty appeal in the first minute – which at first glance looked a decent shout, but otherwise the All Whites’ best chances from set pieces, with Reid putting a header over the crossbar just before halftime.

Wood was a menace when he came on in the second half, with two sharp headers, and he also delivered a perfect flick on for Jeremy Brockie, which the former Phoenix striker failed to anticipate.

Marinovic had another top game, with three superb saves.

Wellington cruise to fourth Plunket Shield win Plunket Shield frontrunners Wellington have notched their fourth win of the competition – a maiden 10-wicket bag from Hamish Bennett easing them to a five-wicket win over Canterbury at the Basin Reserve.

Bennett, playing against his former province, took 5-14 in

Canterbury’s first innings and 5-34 in the second – restricting the visitors to 118 and 156 – and the Firebirds, set 116 to win, coasted to victory inside two days.

During Canterbury’s second innings, wicketkeeper Tom Blundell equalled the Welling-

ton record of six dismissals in an innings and 10 dismissals in a match. For Canterbury, medium pacer Henry Shipley took his maiden first-class five-wicket bag (5-37).

In Hamilton, Northern Districts are 81-3 in their second innings at stumps on day two, still

86 runs behind Auckland’s first innings of 315, where test hopeful Scott Kuggeleijn took 5-36.

In Dunedin, Central Districts are 162-3 at stumps, 350 runs behind Otago’s 513-7 declared, which included centuries to Hamish Rutherford (142) and Derek de Boorder (140). - NZME

Postecoglou call soon Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou says showdown talks by the end of the month with FFA chairman Steven Lowy will determine whether he leads Australia to the World Cup. The national team coach guided Australia to the tournament finals in Russia with a 3-1 win over Honduras on Wednesday night.

“I’m determined to enjoy this and determined for everyone to enjoy it,” Postecoglou said yesterday.

“I understand the conjecture ... it’s not about me trying to keep people in suspense. I’ll have those discussions with David and Steven in the next two weeks and it will all be resolved.”

England find runs Alastair Cook has regained some form, with his opening partner Mark Stoneman scoring England’s first century of the Ashes tour in their last warm-up match ahead of the first test. Cook compiled his first half-century of the tour against an inexperienced Cricket Australia XI on yesterday’s second day in Townsville. He was dismissed for 70 as England went to tea at 2-215 in reply to the hosts’ 250. In what is likely to be England’s last innings before next week’s first test, the tourists put on a 172-run opening stand, as Stoneman ended the session unbeaten on 109.

Khawaja confident He refused to comment on his own test status but Usman Khawaja is confident about Australian opener Matt Renshaw’s plight as national selectors mulled over their Ashes squad. Queensland captain Khawaja did all his talking with the bat in the Bulls’ six-wicket Sheffield Shield loss to NSW in Brisbane. He posted 78 not out and 51 to all but seal a test No.3 recall for next week’s Ashes opener at the Gabba after being dropped on Australia’s tour of Bangladesh in September. Khawaja appears a lock after amassing 346 Shield runs at 86.50 this summer. - AAP

Cup Day at Addington has a special edge

Read still in doubt for Murrayfield

N

ow back at my desk after a bit of a holiday, I figured I might as well reflect on my maiden New Zealand Cup Day. Heading in to the event, it was a bit hard to know what to expect.

The racing was probably the easiest thing to predict, with Lazarus a record favourite to win the New Zealand Cup (which he naturally did by several lengths).

The biggest thing I expected to see however, was drunk people falling all over the place, eventually getting escorted out by security in high-vis vests.

In the end, it was all quite bor-

ing in that regard to be honest, as I only saw two men being escorted out, while I only saw one person fall over, much to the enjoyment of the crowd.

People were certainly drunk, but it wasn’t messy; they were just having a good time.

When it came round to cup time at 5.10pm, it was a pretty special moment, with the national anthem being belted out, followed by race-caller Mark McNamara picking up the microphone for the big dance.

If I am honest, I was too busy watching to see if Tiger Tara would recover to place from her break on the back straight to see

Jaime Pitt-MacKay SPORTS REPORTER

Mark Purdon guide Lazarus over the line for a win, but the atmosphere was something special.

Not to say the other 11 races were not entertaining, they were (apart from the ones where the horses I had backed galloped, which somehow happened in about half of the races).

It was enjoyable seeing the

ecstatic guys next me losing it when the Brooklyn Brawler crossed the line a tiny margin ahead of Gentle Giant in the last to win all the money back they had lost that day (I wasn’t that ecstatic, having backed Gentle Giant myself), or listening to the experienced and elderly race-goers sitting behind me reminiscing of cup days gone by.

It is a day something a bit out of the ordinary, and well worth a visit.

Twenty-thousand people can gather anywhere to get drunk, but just having that special edge of the cup to go along with it makes one hell of an event.

Secret deals win the day

By GreGor pauL World Rugby were dreaming if they thought the 2023 World Cup hosting vote was going to play out under the administrative equivalent of Queensbury Rules.

There was never a chance that the voting members were going to stay perfectly in line and vote for the independently assessed preferred bidder, which was South Africa.

There was never any real prospect that a sense of obligation to honour the new process would outweigh the more compelling question of what each voting member could leverage for themselves.

New Zealand played by the rules like they always do.

They are the goody two-shoes of world rugby, a kind of teacher’s pet up the front of the class with a near chronic aversion to getting involved with office politics.

Their three votes went to South Africa.

Another 17 needed to follow for South Africa to win the needed majority and some media outlets were naive enough to suggest prior to the vote that’s exactly what would happen.

Naive because they felt that if World Rugby, by agreement with its members, had gone to the massive expense of commissioning a major, independent report into the three respective bids, that it would be an extraordinarily embarrassing state of affairs, not to mention a colossal waste of money, if the recommendation was ignored.

It may be the South Africa bidding team were also naive enough to believe they had it in the bag after being named the preferred option two weeks ago.

If reports are to be believed, France and Ireland were frantically lobbying voting members these past two weeks while the South Africans supposedly weren’t.

Presumably they were thinking more about what to say in their acceptance speech, not realising that New Zealand and England, stand alone as the only two voting members big enough to forgo self interest to instead make decisions that are for the greater good of the world game.

Clearly, given that France were not the preferred bidder but are going to host the 2023 World Cup, the majority of voting members were willing to sit down and have a good old chinwag about how their respective backs may end up being scratched.

Some members probably

didn’t need much of a shove to come round to backing the French.

Their bid, after all, was promising World Rugby more money than the other two and give that is the pot from which so many Tier Two unions are ultimately fed, they may have needed no other reason to vote for the French.

But no doubt some members will have concluded that their vote is one of the few, maybe the only, asset from which they can obtain any kind of leverage.

Tier Two rugby nations have barely had a crumb swept in their direction off World Rugby’s table and who could blame any executive from one of rugby’s outposts, sick of the absolute glacial pace of change, if they looked the French bid contingent in the eye and asked: “If we’re voting for you ... what is in it for us?”

The answer to that won’t become immediately apparent if it ever does at all.

But if the French have agreed to investing in some capacity or another in rugby’s less loved territories in return for votes, then it can’t really be seen as a bad thing.

World Rugby will inevitably be infuriated that they went to considerable lengths for the 2023 World Cup hosting rights not to be decided by secret deals being made in smoky backrooms.

But then they should have realised that with each of the three bidders having forecast that they should be victorious and win the hosting rights, they would be worth in excess of $1 billion to their respective economies.

To imagine that the two nonpreferred bids would quietly and gladly accept their fate and was patently silly as was the failure to realise that with barely two brass farthings to rub together, some of the smaller voting nations/ regions were going to be open to negotiating favourable terms for their vote.

By Liam Napier Several battered bodies, captain Kieran Read the most notable, have forced the All Blacks to delay naming their team in Edinburgh.

Typically the All Blacks, a team notoriously rigid in their schedule, reveal their squad early Thursday morning.

But with starters Read and Luke Romano among those carrying knocks, and others yet to be fully assessed, finalising the line-up has been pushed back a day until after their second major training of the week in Scotland.

Attention will predominantly focus on how Read recovers after he was pulled 47 minutes into the 38-18 victory over France in Paris last week with what All Blacks coach Steve Hansen described as a minor groin complaint.

The skipper rarely, if ever, leaves the field, and groin injuries can be niggly.

Matt Todd suffered a similar issue at training in the build-up to the final Bledisloe Cup loss in Brisbane, and needed two weeks to recover.

Read now needs to prove his fitness before being cleared to lead the team at Murrayfield on Sunday morning (NZT).

If Read is ruled out, Beauden Barrett will be favoured to assume the captaincy and the All Blacks could start either Sam Cane or Liam Squire at No 8. Akira Ioane, called in from New Zealand Maori to make his debut in Lyon, is another option.

Romano is the other front-line concern.

In Brodie Retallick’s absence he has pushed into the starting second-row alongside Crusaders team-mate Sam Whitelock but at present remains under a cloud with an inner ear cut and sore foot.

If Romano does not recover, Scott Barrett may slot in. Patrick Tuipulotu also put his hand up with one of his best performances for the All Blacks in Lyon.

The All Blacks also need to gauge the fitness and fatigue levels of others who featured against the French XV. Backing up in a test match four days later is not commonplace.

Top of that assessment list is first-choice blindside Squire, a force down the left edge with ball in hand and on defence in 52 impressive minutes Lyon.

Vaea Fifita continued his progression at No 6 in Paris, and could do so again against Scotland if Squire is deemed too banged up.

Chiefs hooker Nathan Harris, needed to support Codie Taylor after Dane Coles’ season-ending ACL injury, got through a power of work in his 62-minute stint, while back up playmaker Lima Sopoaga came off after 55 minutes; replaced by Richie Mo’unga who has since returned home.

The availability of all will, now, not be known until today. - NZME

In brief Paddon’s year from hell In many ways Sunday night can’t come quick enough for Kiwi rally driver Hayden Paddon. The year has not been kind to the 30-yearold and he is looking forward to drawing a line in the sand after this weekend’s season finale in Australia. His year started off badly when he was involved in an accident at Monte Carlo in January that resulted in the death of a spectator.

Throw in a handful of mistakes, a Hyundai i20 that broke too easily compared to their rivals and some upheaval in his personal life and you can start to understand why his form appears to have deserted him this year.

Hayley eyes top grade

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

Mid Canterbury’s Hayley Whiting is looking forward to getting the chance to prove herself in her second international event when the Mini Pacific Games come around at the start of December.

The weightlifter is coming off a busy winter of competitions, which included a trip to Melbourne, as well as competing at the South Island Championships, the North Island Championships and the National Championships.

After winning the South Island Championships for her weight

class (under 75), and putting in a strong performance at the North Island Championships as a guest competitor, the national championships did not quite go to plan.

Whiting missed all three of her snatches, ending her competition there and then.

“Sadly it is that kind of sport where you only get three chances and I missed three and that was my competition over,” she said.

The trip to Vanuatu will be her second international event, and she has her eyes set on hitting the New Zealand international

grade, which will see her needing to hit 192kg combined across all the disciplines.

“Any chance you get to represent your country is a massive honour,” she said.

While next year’s Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast are out of the question, Whiting said that the Commonwealth Games in 2022 are a long-term goal.

“Realistically I am not at an Olympic level and that is something you have to be honest about, but I haven’t been doing this for very long and to already be involved with several New

Zealand teams is really special,” she said.

Only 24 years old, Whiting regularly finds herself competing against women older than herself, and hopes to have plenty more years left competing.

Getting to the top of the weightlifting scene does not come easy.

“I train five or six times a week and that is on top of working a full time job and trying to get some sleep in there somewhere,” she said.

“It is pretty focused work, doing a lot of stuff to work on technique and stuff like squats, so I guess it is pretty specific.”

■ MOTOR RACING

Teams not sold on Coffs Harbour rally leg By murray Wenzel Australian rally officials concede the pressure is on for the race to retain its place on the world tour as teams voice concerns about the remote Coffs Harbour leg due to start today.

It will be the sixth time the northern NSW coastal city has hosted Rally Australia and it is locked in to hold the final round of the World Rally Championship again next year.

But its spot on the calendar is not guaranteed beyond 2018, with year-to-year deals now preferred on a 13-leg tour that in-

cludes stops in Argentina, Monte Carlo and Finland.

Poland has already been bumped in place of Turkey next year, while New Zealand’s bid has gone flat over a lack of funding.

Hyundai team manager Alain Penasse thinks the Australian leg should be looked at, even suggesting a possible shift back to Perth, given Coffs Harbour is “too small and complicated”.

“It is not a coveted destination; it’s a bit too remote and drivers want a lot of spectators and here they are missing it,” the WRC veteran said.

“We’ve been here now some

time, I think it’s time to go for another challenge.”

Driver Thierry Neuville, sitting second overall ahead of the three-day season finale, was also critical of the destination.

“I like the stages but compared to the other events it’s quite quiet, in the middle of nowhere,” he told AAP. “There is much more interest there (in Europe) but it’s important for the manufacturers to come here and I’m just doing my job.”

Rally Australia chairman Ben Rainsford admitted he was feeling the heat as rivals vied for a

spot at Australia’s expense.

“It is (a genuine concern),” the chairman said.

“There are a huge number of events falling over themselves to get on the tour, you’ve got to keep doing it better and better or risk losing your spot and get swallowed up.”

He said the concerns about Coffs Harbour were nothing new but he was confident the event would continue after $5 million was tipped into the local economy last year and the NSW government pledged three more years of funding in August.

Kiwi racer Nick Cassidy is likely to return to Japan next year and defend the Super GT crown he won last weekend. The two-time Toyota Racing Series champion partnered with local driver Ryo Hirakawa to take their Lexus to the premier Japanese racing title. Cassidy was one of the most talented youngsters to leave New Zealand shores a few years ago but compared to drivers such as Brendon Hartley, Mitch Evans and Earl Bamber he is almost a forgotten entity. But the Super GT Championship is well regarded around the world and there is likely to be significant interest in Cassidy’s services.

- NZME

Harker signs for TRS Promising youngster Reid Harker is the third Kiwi driver to sign on for the upcoming Toyota Racing Series championship. The Toyota 86 graduate will make the step up to the premier New Zealand domestic class this summer after putting together the budget to do the five-round series in January and February. “At the end of the 86 Championship we were looking at that next step and obviously TRS was on our radar as well as the Porsche series over in Australia,” Harker said. “With our financial position at the moment Porsche was out of the question and TRS was a viable option.”

- NZME

Neuville taking risks The lure of second place overall will not stop Thierry Neuville taking risks to win the World Rally Championship series finale in Australia this weekend. Licking his wounds after bowing out of the world title race in the last round in Wales, the Belgian says he is not just content with settling for second.

Neuville is in an aggressive mindset after spending two days assessing the Rally Australia course. “If there’s an opportunity for me to win the rally, to push harder and take more risks, I’ll go for it,” the Hyundai driver said.

Last round for Kiwis New Zealand drivers Brendon Hartley and Earl Bamber will take the track for Porsche in the final round of the 2017 World Endurance Championship in Bahrain. The duo, alongside German team-mate Timo Bernhard, locked up the LMP1 title two weeks ago, easing the pressure on their final race before the team pulls out of WEC after the Six Hours of Bahrain. This will be Hartley’s sixth consecutive week of racing as he jumps between Formula One and WEC.

Puzzles

Puzzles and horoscopes www.guardianonline.co.nz Cryptic crossword

Friday, November 17, 2017

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Walk in the sunshine. Eat delicious food. The sensuality of life will somehow feel like a thrilling escape and the sweet embrace of home all at the same time.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You like people who surprise you, even if the surprise is a bit weird. You’d much rather be jolted by the unexpected than lulled into a waking slumber by the tedium of the overly familiar.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The person who has to make everything about himself or herself won’t change the pattern just for you. However, you may inspire this person to at least be more aware of that dynamic today, which is a start.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Getting the approval of others, avoiding their disapproval, giving a stellar performance, having things the way you want them ... all of that is nice, but not necessary to your happiness.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Avoiding responsibility doesn’t make anyone happier or freer. It seems like it should! But there’s a great deal of good that comes out of accepting responsibility, and you provide plenty of proof for that.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’ll be developing a better way of looking at your life and some more supportive self-talk to go along with that new view. What would you tell a friend to help them if they were your position?

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Service makes you feel good about who you are and your place in the world. You’ll love what comes out of this today, and you will likely sign up for more in the future.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Goodbyes are important.

Whether they are happy, relieving or tearful, it is better to have the closure than not.

Today, you’ll get closure on a limbo situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): When experiencing unpleasant emotions, you know not to get stuck there. You will quickly do something to create a different emotion and this fluidity of feeling keeps the day clipping along.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’ll be especially susceptible to imagery today. Take advantage of this by seeking out inspirational pictures of the life you desire, the person you want to be and the environment of your peaceful daydreams.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’re starting to accumulate many positive experiences. It’s as though you could stack them high enough to block out the negativity of the past. This is a building project worth devoting yourself to.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): How you spend your day is how you’re spending your life. You’re so aware of this now that you may be moved to cut out an activity because it sucks time away from things you would rather be doing.

Sport Chiefs name new chief Taranaki rugby boss Michael Collins has been appointed to take over at the helm of the Chiefs. Collins will take up the chief executive’s role on December 18 following the departure of Andrew Flexman. Collins, 43, leaves after a stellar 2017 season for Taranaki, after they won the Ranfurly Shield and were top qualifiers in the NPC premiership. Collins began his professional rugby career at the Chiefs in 1997, captaining the side in 1999, and playing 81 Super Rugby matches at prop.

Hawke Cup looming

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

The Mid Canterbury Cricket senior rep side are gearing up for their Hawke Cup campaign, and will play their second to last warm-up game against Canterbury Country this Sunday.

Coach Garfield Charles said he feels the team they have named to play at the Ashburton Domain Oval is one of the strongest available.

“This is probably as close as we will get to the team that will compete in the Hawke Cup, and at the moment it is just about discovering what our best team is from the pool of players available,” he said.

Methven’s Matt Winter will captain the side, and will bat at the

top of the order alongside Des Kruger.

“I am quite excited that we have Alex Hooper eligible to play as unfortunately due to his work and other commitments, he isn’t always available, but he is a bright prospect in the fast bowling stocks,” Charles said.

“Things are also looking good for the spinners.

“We have Ryan Cockburn who is coming back and Jay Houston who has been bowling really well and should be a good addition.”

However, it has never been picking up wickets that has been the problem for Mid Canterbury in the past few seasons, it has been with the bat in hand where the green and golds have struggled.

Another Purdon milestone pends P23

“Batting has let us down over these past seasons, we just can’t seem to bat for long.

“Whether it is our diet of cricket here with the Hawke Cup being the highest level of competition and completely different from club cricket,” Charles said.

“We have guys that are well established in the 45-over game, but it is just proving a challenge putting our heads down and batting.

“I think it is just a mental battle and that if we apply ourselves we have the talent to do well.”

The side will play next week against North Otago before kicking off their Hawke Cup campaign the week after against South Canterbury at the Aorangi Oval.

Tennis superstar Roger Federer knows a changing of the guard is inevitable. Federer has managed to keep generation next at bay so far at the ATP Finals in London, seeing off American upstart Jack Sock and then German prodigy Alexander Zverev in his first two pool matches to safely progress to a record 14th seasonending championship semi-final.

But, as evidenced by 12 of the top 20 players suffering serious injuries in 2017 and all of his big-four rivals calling a premature end to their seasons, it’s not getting any easier for the 36-year-old father of four.

A former Argentine government official has killed himself after being accused of taking bribes, the latest fallout from a widespread corruption probe in professional soccer that has implicated businessmen and top officials in several countries. Jorge Delhon, a lawyer who worked in the administration of former Argentina President Cristina Fernandez, killed himself by jumping in front of a train in Buenos Aires. “I love you all,” Delhon wrote in a suicide note to his family. “I can’t believe (what’s happening).”
