Jami-Lee Ross has made an allegation of corruption against his former leader.
Political war of words BY SUSAN SANDYS
SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon is standing strong with fellow National Party politicians against rogue MP Jami-Lee Ross. Serious allegations from Ross against party leader Simon Bridges have failed to draw an ounce of support within the party’s caucus, and all MPs were on message yesterday including Falloon. The Rangitata MP came out strongly in support of his party’s leadership when emerging from caucus meetings on the crisis yesterday.
Falloon said Bridges and deputy Paula Bennett had done an incredible job in difficult circumstances, and the alleged lies and leaks from Ross were unacceptable. “We, as a caucus, are going to now draw a line under this. We will be resolutely strong and focused on the things that matter to New Zealanders,” Falloon told the Guardian. “We are not going to tolerate the kind of lies and disloyalty we’ve seen from Jami-Lee Ross, who has put his own interests above the National Party and those of New
Zealanders.” The turmoil resulting from the leak saga had not affected his local role, and since the issue arose he had held 16 constituency clinics in smaller centres across the Rangitata electorate, and worked on more than 100 cases on behalf of locals who had come to see him in his Ashburton and Timaru offices. Ross yesterday alleged corruption in his party’s leader, with the most serious allegation relating to a $100,000 donation which Ross claimed a Chinese businessman offered to the party in May. Giving details in a press confer-
ence at Parliament, Ross alleged Bridges instructed the donation be divided into small donations below the disclosure limit and listed in separate names. Ross said he had a recording of a discussion with Bridges which he would provide to police when he lodged a complaint today. Bridges emerged from the caucus meeting yesterday flanked by senior MPs to announce the vote to expel Ross, but did not come up with any answers on the donation allegations. He said the claims were “baseless” and encouraged Ross to
lodge the complaint with police. Former deputy chair of the National Party for the Rangitata electorate Gwen Clucas said the turmoil in the party resulting from the lone wolf actions of one MP was a “great shame”. “I think he’s behaved appallingly,” Clucas said. However, she did not think it would have long-term repercussions, and Bridges had done the right thing by encouraging Ross to go the police. “I’m sure he obviously would not say that if he wasn’t sure of his grounds.”

■ ALLENS ROAD UNITS
State houses go up-market By Sue NewmaN
Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
Housing New Zealand properties today are light years away from the state houses of the past. And if the Ashburton community was in any doubt that state houses have come of age, then they should check out a cluster of six new, one-bedroom properties on Allens Road. The houses are modern in design, well insulated, ultra warm and kitted out with tasteful furnishings and they’re ready and waiting for their new tenants. Yesterday the homes were officially signed off by the Ashburton District Council’s building services team and handed over to owners Housing New Zealand. The completion of the six properties was a significant event for community Housing in New Zealand, stakeholder manager Ray Tye said. “We last built in Ashburton 10 years ago and this is part of Housing New Zealand increasing its properties as part of a fouryear regional programme,” she said. The average age of state houses was 50 years and the housing organisation planned to renew and renovate that ageing stock, Tye said. There was a changing demand for state houses, away from three- bedroom family homes on a large section to one and twobedroom properties, she said. “We can be proud of these houses and we’re now in staged planning to develop more properties in Ashburton.” The Allens Road properties will be joined by another four onebedroom units in Trevors Road later next month.

Regional portfolio manager Fletcher Tay said that Housing New Zealand would be looking to better utilise some of the larger sections on properties it owned in Ashburton when it came to building additional houses. The Allens Road houses replace two attached units that were damaged by fire. While some of Ashburton’s housing stocks were well over 50 years old, those built in the ’50s
and ’60s were very sound, Tay said. “They have good bones and in time we’ll be upgrading them, as well as using in-fill housing to expand our holdings. This is a cost effective use of larger, back sections.” Across its Ashburton stocks, it was clear there were a number of three-bedroom homes that were under-utilised, he said. “We have far too many threebedroom homes with big sec-
tions, a lot of tenant mismatches. We need a shift in our stock and a better use of land.” Mayor Donna Favel thanked Housing New Zealand for making a commitment to the district by adding to, and improving its housing stock. “Your customers are our constituents. Your new tenants are very lucky and there could be a bit of an arm wrestle to see who gets in there first,” she said.
A bit of a dag has Ashburton courtroom in giggles A “professional hairdresser of sheep” had the Ashburton District Court in giggles on Monday. Daniel John O’Brien had appeared before Judge Joanna Maze to answer a charge of theft of a grinder, worth $1000. O’Brien had taken the grinder, loaned to him by his boss in the North Island, to a pawn shop because he was out of money. The grinder was reported stolen and an insurance claim made. Judge Maze offered him a chance to avoid a conviction for dishonesty and said she would discharge him if he did eight hours of voluntary labour. She asked O’Brien what he did for a living. “I’m a professional hairdresser of sheep,” he answered, code for his work as a shearer. O’Brien said he was happy to do the voluntary work and pay back the insurance excess of $450. He will be back in court on October 29 to prove his actions. Police prosecutor Ian Howard was amenable, but had the last say: “As long as he doesn’t pull the wool over our eyes.”

Police investigating erratic driving in crash lead-up By Katie todd
Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz
Police say they will be speaking with witnesses and focusing on the period leading up to Monday’s double-fatal crash on State Highway 1, as they investigate what went wrong. Reports have emerged that the driver of a people-mover was observed swerving, speeding up and slowing down in an erratic manner before they collided with a small truck near Ealing shortly before 1.40pm. Other road users had contacted police about the dangerous driving around 25 minutes before the incident and it is understood that a police vehicle had been dispatched in pursuit. However, it was unable to stop the vehicle before the major crash in the northbound lane, which is thought to have caused the people-mover to flip and the truck to plunge into a concrete and metal sign.
The two people who died at the scene were the sole occupants of each of their vehicles. Senior Sergeant Phil Dean said police will be speaking with a number of witnesses and members of the community in relation to the incident. “We will be speaking with the people who contacted police about the driving [before the crash]. We will also be speaking with the families of those involved,” he said. The serious crash unit will be looking at factors like speed and seatbelts, he said. Early speculations have pointed to a medical event as a possible reason for the erratic driving. Police are expecting to release further details about the two people killed in due course. Emergency services were at the scene for some hours on Monday, with diversions in place until just before 7pm for all traffic.
Two on twelfth drink-drive charges but he was a changed man, with his most recent conviction in 2011. His first was in 1985. She said the August event was a slip-up. He had been drinking the night before at a birthday party then driven the next day to a pharmacy. “He had some sleep and a further couple of cans in the morning and thought he would not register the level he did.” Judge Maze said it was no slip up and Overend continued to deny he had a significant problem. While he had been to jail seven times previously for repeat drink driving, he had never been sentenced to home detention. She said he had chosen time and again to drink and drive, and
A Tinwald man with 12 drink driving convictions over the past 30 years was sentenced to eight months home detention when he appeared in the Ashburton District Court on Monday. Michael Wayne Overend, 53, was also ordered to do 100 hours community work and disqualified from driving for two years. Judge Joanna Maze told him that home detention was a difficult sentence and if it failed, he would serve a 15 month jail term. Overend was stopped by police on West Street on August 5 and a breath-test showed 788mcg. His lawyer Roz Burnside said most of Overend’s previous drink driving was in his younger days
the seven-year gap to his previous conviction would be no consolation to an unfortunate family hurt, maimed or dealing with a fatal outcome of his choices. “Seven years is nothing. Your counsel’s submissions focus on you and your position but it is not a luxury available to me. My obligation is to consider the safety of the community, however it is difficult to say this will be any different from your previous actions. Jail has not been a deterrent for you.” Conditions of the home detention include a ban on driving any vehicle anywhere – the ban will also be part of post-detention conditions. The sentence will also be subject to judicial monitoring,
meaning Judge Maze will receive frequent compliance reports. A Clandeboye man also convicted of his 12th drink driving offence has been told get his affairs in order as there is a good chance he will go to jail. Wayne Dennis Reece, 57, a dairy farm worker, blew 1205mcg when he was breath-tested while driving on McMurdo Street at 4pm on September 2. Reece pleaded guilty to driving with excess breath alcohol and was remanded to November 19 for sentence. Judge Maze granted bail but said it was no indication of the sentence. It was a chance for Reece
to get his affairs in order as he was facing a jail term; he is not allowed to drive any vehicle, on farm or off, during the remand period. Reece’s lawyer Roz Burnside said he no longer had access to the car he was driving at the time of the latest drink driving and was resigned to the fact the vehicle would be confiscated. His most recent drink drive convictions included two in 2014. Burnside said Reece had fallen off the wagon lately after a health scare. He has also been the victim of an assault, for which two people had appeared in court. “Since the problems, he fell off the wagon with alcohol use and he is going to doctor and Acads.”

Methven playground on the move By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
A playground planned for Camrose Estates has been shifted in order to reduce noise for adjoining residents. To be established in the growing Camrose Estates subdivision and costing about $95,000, the playground is to be paid for by the developer as per conditions in the subdivision consent. The planned location has moved site within the subdivision, following complaints from a neighbour who thought it was too close to their house. It has been re-sited to the north-western side of the reserve, and is situated at the end of Alma Place. The equipment which will generate the most noise is

‘Cher’ takes out Stars In Your Eyes By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Stars In Your Eyes on Saturday night was a sell-out success. Not a seat remained at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre, and the crowd got behind contestants who brought their best superstar impersonations to the stage. “Everyone really enjoyed it and got behind the contestants, most had their own fan club there,” said Marie McAnulty of the Ashburton County Lions Club. “The talent is just amazing in Mid Canterbury.” The show was the second held by the club after a similar success last year, and now members will continue with the event, holding it every two years. Last year about $15,000 was raised. Figures are not yet in for this year, but funds raised will go to the Ashburton District Volunteer Rural Firefighters’ Welfare Fund and other charities. Winning the competition singing Welcome to Burlesque was Murran Buller as Cher. Runner-up was Brian Taylor as David Bowie, third was Angela Ingles as Aretha Franklin, and People’s Choice was Trudy Hill as LeAnn Rimes. Master of ceremonies was Peter Livingstone.
on the north-west side of the designated area, while other equipment is on the other side closer to residents. Vegetation and mounding of the landscape are expected to create a buffer between the playground and residences, further reducing noise. A landscape concept plan prepared by Ashburton District Council open spaces staff shows equipment including a climbing cube, mouse house, octopus swing, double spring perch, play panel, wok and mound-stepping logs. Methven Community Board chairman Dan McLaughlin said it would be the town’s second-largest playground after the town centre Railway Reserve, and would be a great addition for the town’s youngsters.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL
Bacteria-free tick for water supplies By Sue NewmaN
Sue.n@theguadian.co.nz
When it comes to compliance with New Zealand’s drinking water standards, community supplies in the Ashburton District received a gold star for bacterial compliance. A Drinking Water Assessment Unit sampled the supplies between July 1 last year and June 30 this year for bacterial, protozoa and chemical compliance. While bacterial compliance was 100 per cent, changing standards meant that several bores did not meet protozoa compliance standards. Bores at Argyle Park, Bridge Street, one in the Ashburton Domain, Hinds and Mayfield had their secure bore water status revoked during the year. Water safety is ensured, however, because all supplies are chlorinated,. Dromore, Fairton, Hinds and Tinwald drinking water supplies all have nitrate present at levels where regular monitoring is required. To date levels have not exceeded the level at which it could be harmful to unborn babies or bottle-fed infants. The council has budgeted to raise the boreheads in supplies that failed protozoa testing and in line with changing drinking water standards will install UV treatment on all supplies. Money has been tagged in its long-term plan for this work.
Strong winds damage settlement village Recent strong winds have folded back roofing at the rear of an old work area at Ashburton’s Chinese Settlement village. An Ashburton District Council spokesperson said the workshop was scheduled for deconstruction in two weeks. The weather event had now hastened this process and contractors were to carry out make-safe works and repairs yesterday afternoon. “The adjacent shed has also sustained some damage but this should be able to be secured,” the spokesperson said. The Chinese Settlement on Allens Road is just one of a handful of post-1900 sites recognised by Heritage New Zealand as having significant historical value. PHOTO SUSAN SANDYS 151018-SS-0000
Fairton welfare fund wind up likely A society that has looked after the health and welfare of freezing industry workers in Ashburton for decades could be about to go out of business. The Fairton Sick Benefit and Accident Benefit Society was formed in the 1950s and is a registered society. Its members were Fairton freezing works employees. With the Silver Fern plant now largely closed and only a small pelt house workforce remaining, the future of the society
and its accumulated funds needed to be decided, a spokesperson said. An annual meeting of the society was held on Thursday and another for current Silver Fern Farms Fairton employees will be held shortly. A considerable amount of money had accumulated the spokesperson said, and if the society was wound up, its constitution stipulates this money will be given to local charities.
Quake plaques not displayed By Sue NewmaN
Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
Ashburton building owners could be ducking for cover when it comes to displaying plaques outside their earthquake prone buildings. Plaques declaring a building earthquake prone and displaying its percentage compliance with building standards, were distributed by the Ashburton District Council at the start of September. Owners were required to display these on their buildings, but according to council building services manager Michael Wong, virtually none of those have complied. While they may not have posted the plaques on their buildings, what many owners had done was to beat a path to his office, Wong said. Owners of earthquake prone buildings are required to provide the council with an engineer’s assessment of the standard of their building. Those who have not have this information clearly spelled out on their plaque. “We’ve found a lot of changes have already been made to information we have and we’re seeing some owners who’re disputing the percentage and some have already had engineering reports done but they haven’t given those to us.”

Museum Pooches’ agility put to the test society to mark 60th By Katie todd
Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz
The Ashburton Museum and Historical Society turns 60 this month, with a special anniversary meeting and cake-cutting planned. The society was formed in 1958 with an aim to secure space for objects of historical interest; it has been a long and sometimes controversial journey, but the museum is now in the purpose-built Ashburton Heritage Centre that opened in 2014. President Glenn Vallender says in the society’s latest newsletter that the town’s first museum was actually a glass cabinet full of carefully-collected local objects in the public library in 1881. Other buildings over the years have served to display and store collections,
including the Pioneer Hall, Ashburton Technical College, and the former Ashburton County Council building on Baring Square West. Vallender said the challenge for the society was to evolve and change; members were currently working on a complete history of the society. The anniversary meeting will be held on October 28 and will include the annual meeting and cutting of a birthday cake. Guest speaker will be Canterbury University adjunct professor John Cookson. Cookson is vice-president of the Canterbury History Association and will speak about his “time travel” as a historian.
Ashburton A&P Showgrounds was the destination for clever pooches of all shapes and sizes from all across the South Island last weekend. Dogs from as far as Nelson and Christchurch were among those weaving through poles, scaling A-frames and clearing jumps at the Mid Canterbury Championship Agility Event on Saturday and Sunday. Mid Canterbury Dog Training Club secretary Jo Dickson said the district hosts the event every October. This year’s show had well over 80 entries. The fine weather also lured a number of spectators along. Dickson said at the event, dogs are measured and divided up into micro, mini, medium and maxi categories. They are then put through their paces around agility courses, where the winners are determined by quickest time and highest accuracy across events. Ribbons, prize money and dog food were up for grabs over the two days of the competition. Dickson said the next event on the club’s calendar is an obedience and Rally-O at the Tinwald Domain in November.

Microsoft co-founder dies Paul Allen, who co-founded Microsoft with his childhood friend Bill Gates before becoming a billionaire philanthropist who invested in conservation, space travel, arts and culture and professional sports, has died at the age of 65. He died in Seattle from complications of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, his company Vulcan Inc announced. Gates said he was heartbroken about the loss of one of his “oldest and dearest friends”. “Personal computing would not have existed without him,” Gates said in a statement. “But Paul wasn’t content with starting one company. He channelled his intellect and compassion into a second act focused on improving people’s lives and strengthening communities in Seattle and around the world. He was fond of saying, ‘If it has the potential to do good, then we should do it’,” Gates wrote. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella called Allen’s contributions to the company, community and industry “indispensable”. “As co-founder of Microsoft, in his own quiet and persistent way, he created magical products, experiences and institutions, and in doing so, he changed the world,” Nadella
Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft and Seattle Seahawks owner. PHOTO AP wrote on Twitter. Allen, an avid sports fan, owned the Portland Trail Blazers and the Seattle Seahawks. Allen and Gates met while attending a private school in north Seattle. The two friends would later drop out of college to pursue the future they envisioned: A world with a computer in every home. Gates so strongly believed it that he left Harvard University in his junior year to devote himself full-time to his and Allen’s startup, originally called Micro-
Soft. Allen spent two years at Washington State University before dropping out as well. They founded the company in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and their first product was a computer language for the Altair hobby-kit personal computer, giving hobbyists a basic way to programme and operate the machine. After Gates and Allen found some success selling their programming language, MS-Basic, the Seattle natives moved their business in 1979 to Bellevue,
Washington, not far from its eventual home in Redmond. Microsoft’s big break came in 1980, when IBM Corp decided to move into personal computers and asked Microsoft to provide the operating system. Gates and company didn’t invent the operating system. To meet IBM’s needs, they bought one known as QDOS from another programmer, Tim Paterson. Eventually the product refined by Microsoft and renamed DOS, for Disk Operating System became the core of IBM PCs and their clones, catapulting Microsoft into its dominant position in the PC industry. The first versions of two classic Microsoft products, Microsoft Word and the Windows operating system, were released in 1983. By 1991, Microsoft’s operating systems were used by 93 per cent of the world’s personal computers. The Windows operating system is now used on most of the world’s desktop computers, and Word is the cornerstone of the company’s prevalent Office products. Gates and Allen became billionaires when Microsoft was thrust onto the throne of technology. – AP
US federal budget deficit blows out The federal budget deficit has surged to $US779 billion in fiscal 2018, its highest level in six years as President Donald Trump’s tax cuts caused the government to borrow more heavily in order to cover its spending. The Treasury Department said that the deficit climbed $US113 billion from fiscal 2017. Debt will likely worsen in the coming years with the Trump administration expecting the deficit to top $US1 trillion in 2019, nearly matching the $US1.1 trillion imbalance from 2012. The deficit worsened because
tax revenues are not keeping pace with government spending. Tax revenues were essentially flat in fiscal 2018, while spending increased 3.2 per cent as Congress gave more funds for military and domestic programs. Revenues generally tumbled after December when Trump signed into law $1.5 trillion of tax cuts over the next decade. The tax cuts have caused economic growth to accelerate this year with Federal Reserve officials anticipating gains of 3.1 per cent. But the Trump administra-
tion initially promised that the tax cuts would pay for themselves through stronger growth – and there is no sign so far of that happening. “The budget numbers make very clear that the faster growth isn’t stopping the deficit from increasing,” said Marc Goldwein, senior policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a group that advocates for lower deficits. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin suggested in a statement that the underlying source of the widening deficit was growth in government spending, rather than the tax cuts.
“Going forward the President’s economic policies that have stimulated strong economic growth, combined with proposals to cut wasteful spending, will lead America toward a sustainable financial path,” Mnuchin said. But William Gale, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, noted that the tax cuts are unlikely to generate a long-term bump in economic growth. Most estimates suggest that the deficit will worsen as spending on Social Security, Medicare and other programmes increase with the aging baby boomer population. – AP
Duchess of Sussex pregnant Prince Harry and his wife the Duchess of Sussex are expecting a child in the spring, Kensington Palace has said. The announcement came as Harry and the former Meghan Markle arrived in Sydney for a 16-day visit to Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand. Hundreds of people gathered to catch a glimpse of the couple after they landed. “Their royal highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public,” the palace said in a statement.
Yella Beezy still in hospital Management for rapper Yella Beezy says he remains hospitalised after being shot while driving on a highway in Texas. Police said that the rapper, whose real name is Deandre Conway, was driving on a highway in Lewisville when someone in a vehicle pulled up next to him and opened fire. He was struck three times. Police had said he was discharged from the hospital. However, his management told media later that he remains hospitalised. Police have not determined a motive, and no arrests have been made. Yella Beezy opened for Beyonce and Jay-Z when their tour stopped near Dallas.
Irish border looms large in Brexit summit The moods in Britain and the European Union have swung between hope and gloom over an intractable dispute about the Irish border, shifts that came only two days ahead of a summit once seen as the last moment to reach a deal on Britain’s divorce from the bloc. After a flurry of weekend meetings had raised expectations for a Brexit agreement only to dash them again, EU and British leaders sought to keep alive the possibility that the summit could see a Brexit breakthrough, despite their conflicting stances. After a year and a half of talks aimed at a smooth break-up,
both sides were still dogged by the same issue – how to ensure that no hard border is created between the EU’s Ireland and Britain’s Northern Ireland once Brexit happens on March 29. EU Council president and summit host Donald Tusk searched for a positive outlook. He acknowledged that a break up with no rules in place “is more likely than ever before”. Despite a failed weekend meeting between the two sides’ Brexit negotiators, British Prime Minister Theresa May told the House of Commons in London that “I do not believe the EU and the UK are far apart”. Yet a chasm remains over a
solution for the Irish border. The EU wants Northern Ireland to stay in its customs union to avoid a hard, policed land border between it and Ireland. But May says that would create “a border in the Irish Sea” between two parts of the United Kingdom, a scenario that she and Britain will not accept. Britain is proposing instead to keep all of the UK in a customs union with the bloc – but only temporarily. Tying Britain to the EU on customs would limit the UK’s power to strike new trade deals around the world, a key goal of those who voted to leave the EU. Insisting that a Brexit divorce
deal was “achievable”, May said the border dispute should not “derail the prospects of a good deal and leave us with the no-deal outcome that no one wants”. May’s political allies in Northern Ireland stand ready to scuttle a Brexit deal over the Irish border issue. Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney, speaking at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg, said the delays in solving the border issue were frustrating.

Winehouse biopic possible Amy Winehouse’s family has signed a deal to executive produce a biopic about the late singer, who died in 2011, an individual with knowledge of the project said. Monumental Pictures’ Alison Owen and Debra Hayward will produce the film, while Kinky Boots writer Geoff Deane will write the screenplay and executive produce. Production is set to start in 2019. Proceeds from the film will benefit the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which works to prevent the effects of alcohol and drug misuse. Representatives for the Winehouse family had not yet responded to requests for comment.

OUR VIEW
Bridges presiding over troubled waters S
ome of the most experienced journalists and political media minds I know described the events of yesterday in parliament as being unlike anything they’d ever seen before. A literal political minefield, in where it appeared that at every turn – a new bomb was sitting and waiting to detonate, all seemingly armed by the embattled Jami-Lee Ross. If Ross wanted impact, he certainly got it. The word boom came straight to mind when listening to his almost hour-long press conference. He smiled like the proverbial super-villain, left nothing to the imagination and effectively brought forth a political character
assassination on someone who he once considered an incredible colleague. That colleague, of course, is Simon Bridges and when he appeared in front of media less than an hour later – he too painted the picture of a cat who had got the cream and licked the bowl clean. Bridges’ smiling assassin routine can be somewhat frustratingly annoying at times, but
yesterday there was no sarcasm or ill-intention behind his comments, he seemed to want to talk the facts. He wanted to talk facts, but he just couldn’t bring himself to say them, at least. Whereas Ross held nothing back and unleashed fury on his now former party mates in the National corner, Bridges played it straight and narrow – an innings that even Kane Williamson would have had to be proud of. He gave nothing away, but produced a different answer, with the same meaning, for every similar question thrown in his direction. In short, he answered so much but really provided so little. National supporters around
the country will be divided here, it would seem. Those who have been staunch supporters of Ross will undoubtedly shoulder up and protect their under-siege representative, while many will stick with the party line and believe that if the leader isn’t worried then nor should they be. Whether that’s wise, on either count, remains to be seen in the coming days and weeks. What was distinctively clear though was the support for Bridges by his National caucus. He stood flanked by some of his most senior colleagues within the party – all grim-faced, all intent on discrediting everything by Ross. They appeared united, and
word from the caucus meeting where it was decided to expel Ross confirmed that his numbers were very few, if any at all. While Bridges stood tall with support behind him, the very man they were bidding goodbye to was a lone wolf. A man on his own, fighting for himself. There is a lot of water to go under the bridge in this saga still but if the intention of Ross is to continue to play the media and feed little tidbits here and there to keep things interesting, then it’s going to be mighty entertaining to watch unfold. Someone is going to come out smelling like roses and the other will be lucky to come out at all.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Wednesday, October 17, the 290th day of 2018. There are 75 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On October 17, 1933, Albert Einstein arrived in the United States as a refugee from Nazi Germany. On this date: In 1610, French King Louis XIII, age nine, was crowned at Reims, five months after the assassination of his father, Henry IV. In 1777, British forces under Gen. John Burgoyne surrendered to American troops in Saratoga, New York, in a turning point of the Revolutionary War. In 1807, Britain declared it would continue to reclaim British-born sailors from American ships and ports regardless of whether they held US citizenship. In 1931, mobster Al Capone was convicted in Chicago of income tax evasion. (Sentenced to 11 years in prison, Capone was released in 1939.) In 1939, Frank Capra’s comedydrama Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, starring James Stewart as an idealistic junior US senator, had its premiere in the nation’s capital. In 1941, the US destroyer Kearny was damaged by a German torpedo off the coast of Iceland; 11 people died. In 1967, Puyi, the last emperor of China, died in Beijing at age 61. In 1973, Arab oil-producing nations announced they would begin cutting back oil exports to Western nations and Japan; the result was a total embargo that lasted until March 1974. In 1979, Mother Teresa of India was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1989, an earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale struck northern California, killing 63 people and causing $6 billion worth of damage. In 1992, Japanese exchange student Yoshi Hattori was fatally shot by Rodney Peairs in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, after Hattori and his American host mistakenly knocked on

I
t seems that with only the blink of an eye, another long weekend has appeared and the tail-end of the year is at our doorstep. This Labour Day long weekend, I cannot stress enough how important it is that everyone makes it home safe to their friends and families. A weekend away for some rest and relaxation should not end in tragedy, but unfortunately this is a message that needs to be repeated every time there is a surge of traffic on our roads. Keeping ourselves safe on the roads is a community effort involving agencies, government services and our own behaviour. From a council perspective, our contractors are tasked with maintaining our vast roading network (the third largest roading network in New Zealand) so that people have a suitable and safe passage for their travels. While you might think of the obvious road works council is responsible for, we actually look after a range of activities that contribute to safe roads. For instance, in the latest Fulton Hogan newsletter (which is available on our website), our contractors replaced and reinstalled road signs so that people have clear directions about what they are expected to do or where they need to go; repaired culverts to divert water off road

Editor, PO Box 77 surfaces; sprayed footpaths for lichen; and sprayed weeds along roadsides which, when out of hand, can obstruct driver vision. This was in conjunction with carrying out road markings, dig-outs, grading and repairing hundreds of potholes and pavement failures. When we are used to a certain standard of service or product, sometimes we can forget just how different things would be if those services were no longer carried out. Imagine, for instance, if there were no road signs to tell you what speed was safe to travel at on a particular road, or if shaded roads weren’t gritted during winter to prevent vehicles slipping on ice? These are steps the council takes to help keep people safe. We are, of course referring to local roads not State Highways. Those roads are looked after by the NZ Transport Agency, who also subsidise some of our lo-
cal work. As our eyes and ears around the entire breadth of our district, I urge you to please let us know if you come across something on our roads that needs attention. Reporting the issue to us through the free Snap, Send, Solve app helps us to remedy the situation as soon as possible so that we can continue working to provide safe roads for the community. Roads, particularly in our district are a fundamental service that keep our lives, businesses and – on a higher level – our economy moving. We unfortunately do not have the luxury of a well-developed public transport service to get us from point A to point B. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we had a passenger train running between here and Christchurch or Timaru, or perhaps buses that operated throughout the day to get you around town or between our smaller townships? I would like to see this happen,
but as with any major project, these issues take a great deal of time, effort (and money) from all agencies and organisations involved to make it a reality. In the meantime, let’s look after the infrastructure and services that we do have, and make sure we are doing everything we can to remain safe when using them. In lieu of limited transport options available, please take care on the roads this long weekend. Stop for regular breaks, travel to the conditions, be aware of other drivers and make sure you and your loved ones return from your break safe. Have a happy and safe long weekend!

YOUR VIEW Water tightness Periodic media releases and reporting as far back, – even prior to – the delayed official opening of the Art Gallery and Heritage Centre has alerted ratepayers and patrons to an ongoing serious water tightness/moisture leakage problem in and around that facility. Will the council confirm that specialists, – as in – structure consultants/architects/local construction professionals are developing, designing and pricing, a remedial strategy solution plan of work to resolve the water tightness problems? Is the answer in a likely recladding of the exterior to establish thermal break barriers with a polystyrene plaster veneer system even involving remedial work in
the ground to the depth of and including foundations? Walling amendments therefore requiring removal of windows and doors altering their size to reinstate with thermal break technology fitted. Similarly, renovation of roof cladding, and repair of flashing systems along with reconfiguring and expanding air conditioning units. All at an estimated cost in excess of $1,500,000? Ken Leadley

■ SKY TV
Buyout rumours rife
Food giant Heinz Wattie’s has confirmed the loss of 70 jobs at its Hastings plants. It’s now looking to fill hundreds of temporary summer positions as part of its annual seasonal recruitment drive, with a new recruitment company that promises to prioritise locals. A spokesman for Heinz Wattie’s said it would need 700 seasonal workers in Hastings over the peak summer processing period, and had contracted company Kelly Services to do the hiring. Heinz Wattie’s is the country’s largest processor of seasonal fruit and vegetables. - NZME
Time to buy a new car One source noted that a circling buyer could be one reason that Sky has been so slow to replace John Fellet, who announced his intention to depart in March (the long-serving chief executive is staying on until a replacement is installed). And after its stock market battering, which has seen its shares fall from $4.80 to a recent $2.13 as the Vodafone merger wobbled then fell apart under regulatory pressure, Sky’s market cap has crashed to just $829 million – making the still-profitable firm a
potentially attractive acquisition target. However, with Sky refusing comment, and other parties offering no immediate response, it remains speculation. It remains just another question for the NZX-listed company, along with who will succeed chief executive John Fellet, and what is the company’s guidance for 2019. Sky promises to answer the latter question, at least, at its AGM tomorrow morning. On August 24, the broadcaster reported a $240.7m loss for
In a twist of irony, now might be the best time to buy a new car. As rising fuel prices burn Kiwi wallets, the Vehicle Industry Association has released a statement saying a glut of imported cars has created excessive supply, pushing down retail prices. VIA chief executive David Vinsen said car import listings for vehicle dealers and traders such as Trade Me and Turners were at a recent high. “The timing of this is especially ironic, given we’ll be looking at probable increases of around 15 per cent for imports over the next 6-12 months,” Vinsen said. “If you’re in the market, now is the time to buy.” - NZME
the June year against a profit of $116.3m in the previous year. But allowing for a $360m noncash accounting adjustment, Sky’s underlying net profit actually increased by 2.6 per cent to $119.3m as subscriber losses slowed and expenses were kept in check. Regardless, shares ($2.57 on August 24) have continued to fall. Investors have reacted badly to Sky slashing its dividend, and the lack of guidance, and the question of who will succeed Fellet have caused uncertainty. - NZME

■ INFLATION
Compiled by
the highest annual increase since June 2011. Stats NZ said that “multiple factors” contributed to the rise including the weaker New Zealand dollar, a lift in crude oil prices and a regional fuel tax introduced in Auckland, where petrol prices increased 8.8 per cent over the quarter. If petrol is stripped out, the increase was 0.7 per cent for the September quarter and 1.2 per cent for the September year. “While petrol only makes up about 4 per cent of the CPI, it can have a large impact on overall inflation,” prices senior manager Paul Pascoe said. Inflation was also boosted by
higher housing-related costs. Housing and household utilities lifted 1.1 per cent versus the June quarter and 3.1 per cent on the year. Local authority rates and payments were up 5.1 per cent. While local authority rates increase in the September quarter each year “the rise this year is higher than the 4.2 per cent average increase we have seen over the last five years,” Pascoe said. Food prices, meanwhile, lifted 0.6 per cent in the quarter and 0.2 percent on the year. Non-tradables inflation, which focuses on domestic goods and services, rose a quarterly 0.8 per cent for a 2.6 per cent annual increase. - NZME

Kiwis feeling the burn Higher-than-expected third-quarter inflation is unlikely to take rate cuts off the table as it was largely driven by higher petrol prices, something the Reserve Bank has said it will look through. The consumers price index rose 0.9 per cent in the three months ended September 30 while annual inflation was 1.9 per cent, Statistics New Zealand said. Economists had been expecting the consumers price index would increase 0.7 per cent in the three months ended September 30, for an annual increase of 1.7 per cent, according to the median in a poll of 14 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The Reserve Bank had tipped a quarterly rise of 0.4 per cent and an annual increase of 1.4 per cent. The New Zealand dollar jumped almost half a US cent and was recently at 65.90 US cents. The central bank is mandated with keeping annual inflation between 1-and-3 per cent over the medium term, focusing on the mid-point. Stubbornly weak inflation has kept interest rates on hold at a record low 1.75 per cent and in September governor Adrian Orr reiterated the next move could be down if the economy fails to fire. He also noted the impact higher fuel prices would have on nearterm inflation, but said the central bank would “look through this volatility as appropriate”. It still expects consumer price inflation to “gradually rise” to the 2 per cent annual target. Petrol prices rose 5.5 per cent in the September quarter and were up 19 per cent on the year,

NBC Universal has kicked the tyres at Sky TV and may even have conducted due diligence, according to an industry source. A wider deal is also said to be possible, whereby NBC Universal buys both Sky TV and MediaWorks, with TV3 filling the role currently held by Prime TV as Sky’s free-to-air channel. NBC Universal’s parent, Comcast, recently won a bidding war with Fox for Sky TV UK with a king-hit £30 billion bid on September 23. Investors have yet to be convinced by the deal. Comcast shares fell 6 per cent on the day it was announced on September 24 (a positive day for the Nasdaq overall). But the US media giant is said to be on the hunt for further deals, with Australia’s Seven Network said to also be in the frame. Gossip-mongers have noted that NBC Universal’s AustraliaNew Zealand MD, Chris Taylor, was chief executive of Prime TV in the 2000s.

In brief
■ OPINION
Patience has its own reward T hey say good things come to those who wait, and in the case of a couple of big New Zealand sporting teams over the weekend, that was certainly the case. Does it get any better than the Kiwis beating the Kangaroos on the rugby league pitch, and the Silver Ferns beating the Aussie Diamonds on the netball court? Well, yeah, actually it does. But, they were certainly results that made it a pretty awesome weekend in my books. It wasn’t just the fact that our teams won though, or the fact that it had been a while since we’d experienced that winning feeling. It was more about the way we won, because frankly, both wins were more than just wins, they were resounding victories. Look at the Kiwis and the Kangaroos on Saturday night. Apart from the first few minutes and the final few minutes, that game belonged well and truly to the men in black. I will admit there were a few nervous moments towards the end. I may have possibly sent a message to someone with about
five minutes to go celebrating a famous Kiwis win, and then watched as those pesky Aussies almost made me eat my words. There were flashbacks to all those Warriors games over the years where you think your team has got it in the bag, only for the unthinkable to happen. This time, thankfully, it didn’t. The game was the start of a new era in a way, for both sides. A number of debutants took to the field and in the Australian side in particular there were a few notable absences – no Smith, Slater, Cronk or Inglis for a start. But, the fact that the side’s superstars from recent years were not there should not take anything away from the Kiwis’ win. The Kiwis played incredibly well, scored some awesome tries, and their defence against some of the best attacking players in the game, was top-notch. As the game kicked off, I got a message from a friend asking me what the Kiwis chances were. I sat on the fence a touch and replied that the Kiwis had about as much chance of beating the Kangaroos as the Silver Ferns did of beating the Australian Diamonds the following day.
Erin Tasker SPORTS REPORTER
And it turned out I was right, because of course I meant that the chances of both sides were good. Yes, the Silver Ferns went into the following day’s third Constellation Cup test off the back of a string of hefty defeats to their old foes. But, with a new coach in charge and Laura Langman back on the court, could things change? During the quad series I said yes, they could change, but not overnight. In a column back then I said Australia would keep the Constellation Cup, but if New Zealand could get within a couple of goals and maybe even win one from four, that’d be a huge step forward. So now here we are three games in and we have won a game, and again, we didn’t just
win it, we won it most convincingly. Only someone very brave, or a bit silly, would have picked it to be a win to the Ferns by 11 goals at the start of the match, but that’s the way it ended up and to be honest, as the second half progressed the result never really looked in doubt. In that same column a few weeks ago I said the Silver Ferns were lacking a certain x-factor that the Aussies had. But on Sunday, I was made to eat my words. Maria Folau at goal shoot was outstanding, Jane Watson at goal keep was even better, and the team as a whole just seemed to gel. We were faster, slicker and more confident then we have been in a long time. Australia on the other hand, after not starting the unstoppable Caitlin Bassett at goal shoot were forced into multiple changes in the shooting circle to try and make headway, to no avail. That was possibly the biggest win of all to come from that game and now I can’t wait to see what game four brings tomorrow night.
Women score big A women’s cricket team in Adelaide has smashed what is thought to be a world record total after reaching a staggering 596 for three from 50 overs. The Northern Districts team fell just short of the 600-mark thanks to four players reaching centuries. Even more amazingly, the team managed just three sixes, with 256 runs coming from fours. In reply, Port Adelaide was all out for 25. - AAP
Paine mentally drained Australian skipper Tim Paine has opened up on the mental toll of his first tour in charge following the ball-tampering scandal and revealed the simple method he has employed to help stay relaxed and sharp behind the stumps. Lauded for his humility after taking the top job, Paine quickly found himself under scrutiny as Australia slumped to a 5-0 whitewash in England. “I think in England one thing I learned was I probably trained too hard and tried too hard,” Paine said. - AAP
Finch off to a flyer A minor change in technique has done wonders for Aaron Finch in helping him translate white-ball prowess into a flying start to his test career for Australia. The powerful Victorian enjoyed a test debut to remember in Dubai, making scores of 62 and 49 and combining superbly with Usman Khawaja as Australia claimed a famous draw. - AAP
■ TENNIS
Champions back for ASB Classic The ASB Classic defending champions are returning to Auckland. 2018 Women’s champion and current world number nine Julia Goerges and men’s champion Roberto Bautista Agut will be returning to defend their titles next year. Goerges carried on her sublime form after her win in Auckland, beating two top 20 players (Daria Kasatkina and Anastasija Sevastova) as well as US Open Champion Naomi Osaka, en route to the final of the Charleston Open in April.
The German powerhouse also added another three quarter-final (Moscow, Birmingham, Doha) and two semi-final appearances (New Haven, St Petersburg) to round out her career best year. Her standout performance came on the grass courts of Wimbledon, where she reached her first Grand Slam semi-final, fighting through a number of three set matches before falling to Serena Williams. Goerges is looking forward to be returning to the City of Sails to
kick off her 2019 season. “I love playing in Auckland. It is one of my favourite tournaments and the best preparation for the Australian Open. “I have had some great results there and I am very happy to be back as ASB Classic defending champion,” said Goerges. Like Goerges, Roberto Bautista Agut continued his winning form throughout 2018, capturing his biggest title of his career in Dubai, an ATP World Tour 500 event. The gutsy Spaniard made it to the final
of Gstaad, another two semi-finals (St Petersburg and Halle) and two more quarter-finals (Munich and Barcelona). ASB Classic Tournament Director Karl Budge says, clearly these two champions play some of their best tennis in Auckland and that’s why they’re crowd favourites. “Everyone will remember Roberto’s epic semi-final battle against Robin Haase. “It’s just so great to have both of our champs back to defend their titles.” - NZME

Champions on the fairways Aorangi’s champion of champions golfers for 2018 have been found, and all three hail from Mid Canterbury. Clubs from around the Aorangi golfing region sent their senior, intermediate and junior club champions to the Temuka Golf Club on Sunday to fight it out for the title of best in their grade across the district. Trophies were awarded to the players with the best gross in their divisions and by the end of the day’s play the winners were Jordan Green from the Ashburton Golf Club in the senior division, Phill Hooper from the Tinwald Golf Club in the intermediate division, and Andrew Barrie, also from the Tinwald Golf Club, in the junior division. Green’s gross score was 71, Hooper’s was 82 and Barrie’s was 77. Making it an even better day for the Tinwald club was the fact that they also picked up the Hayman Rosebowl for being the club with the best gross team score. The team of Hooper, Barrie and Paul Boon won with a score of 234. The Smith Trophy, for the club with the best team nett stableford score, was won by the team of Kevin Teahan, John Gould and Wayne Hobbs from the Temuka Golf Club with a score of 109.
Mailata ready for debut Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive line coach says Australian giant Jordan Mailata will be ready to make his NFL regular season debut if their injury struck team needs the rookie. The Eagles’ offensive line is banged up after the first six games of the season. Mailata, a 21-year-old, 203cm, 157kg former South Sydney league junior, is the greenest of rookies having never played a game of American football before landing at the Eagles. - AAP
England shock Spain Raheem Sterling has ended his international scoring drought with two goals in England’s 3-2 win in Spain to keep alive their chances of playing for the Nations League title. Sterling opened the scoring in the 16th minute and doubled his tally in the 38th, after Marcus Rashford had netted on the half hour. England manager Gareth Southgate was hard pressed to think of many better performances from the national team. - PA
Maltese chasing Bolt Reigning Maltese top-flight champions Valletta FC are behind the power play to prematurely end Usain Bolt’s bid for an A-League contract. Valletta FC have put forward a two-year offer for the Jamaican sprint champion to “spearhead their charge to the Champions League” with an eye toward his potential debut in mid-December. The Mariners want the FFA to contribute to Bolt’s multimilliondollar contract but it is believed he doesn’t meet the criteria. - AAP

Warriors raging favourites to do it all again NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will be at Oracle Arena tonight, handing the Golden State Warriors what will be their third set of championship rings from the last four seasons. A banner will be displayed. Highlights will be shown. And then the Warriors will have to start all over again. The NBA’s 73rd season starts
this week, beginning a year where LeBron James will play for the Lakers, where Carmelo Anthony will aim to push the Rockets over the top, where Dwyane Wade will take his 16th and final lap. A new arena is opening in Milwaukee, eight teams will have new coaches, and everyone will be looking to see if the Warriors can win a third straight title.

“None of us are ready for this run to come to an end,” said Draymond Green, part of all three Warriors’ titles. “So we’ve got to continue to approach it like we’ve got zero. And that’s cliche and impossible to do, but you want to try to get as close to that as you possibly can. And that’s my mindset always entering the season.”

They will be the overwhelming favourites, with good reason. The Warriors still have Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Green, plus added AllStar big man DeMarcus Cousins – coming off an injury – on a bargain $5.3 million deal. And calling all the shots is coach Steve Kerr, who won five rings as a player and now three more as a coach.
“If they don’t win, it’s a failure,” Memphis guard Mike Conley Jr. said. “I know that’s how they feel as well. For us, for the other 29 teams, we’re the underdog. It’s a lot easier playing from the underdog perspective than coming in with a lot of expectation.” In this NBA, everybody else is an underdog. - AP

■ VICTORIA
Rain to suit Baker chances Cambridge trainers Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman are likely to have three runners in Victoria this week and forecast rain today and Thursday is likely to be an assist. Staying three-year-olds Botti and Rubira are due to step out as they continue their preparations for the Gr.1 VRC Derby (2500m) and Gr.1 VRC Oaks (2500m) respectively, while Group One winner Jon Snow will contest the Gr.1 Caulfield Cup (2400m). Despite holding a nomination for Saturday’s Gr.3 Caulfield Classic (2000m), Baker is leaning towards starting Botti in an $50,000 BenchMark 70 at Moe over 2050m on Thursday. “We might go to Moe with Botti because he is right down on the minimum prizemoney for the VRC Derby and we’ve just got to get a bit of money in the bank,” Baker said. “We’re very happy with him. “He’s a dead-set staying horse and he will get his chance if he gets into the longer race. “He is by Jakkalberry who ran third in the Melbourne Cup and won the American St Leger and he’s a three-quarter brother to
Botti ‘should stay like a mother-in-law’, says Murray Baker. Lion Tamer who won the VRC Derby, so he should stay like a mother-in-law. “He’s not as fast as Lion Tamer but he might be a bit more of a stayer.” Botti has drawn barrier one for Thursday’s contest and will
have the services of jockey Damian Lane, who rode him to victory over 1755m at Geelong in his only Australian start. “He will have to take on the older horses again and I think he is the only three-year-old in the race.”
Baker was pleased with the work of Botti and Rubira at Flemington yesterday and said the latter continues to make good improvement. “Her work has indicated that the further she goes, the better she is going to be, and she has certainly kept improving since she has been in Australia,” he said. Rubira finished 12th over 1400m at Caulfield on September 22 and made significant improvement when beaten only four lengths into seventh in the Gr.2 Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m) behind subsequent Group One winner Amphitrite. “She got out-paced a bit at her first start over here, but we knew that, and she will certainly be better over 2000m. “She did compete at a mile at stakes level as a two-year-old in New Zealand, but she is also a horse that needs a bit of cut out of the track to help her.” Meanwhile, Baker is hoping to see Jon Snow get conditions to suit in what will be the Iffraaj entire’s second tilt at the Caulfield Cup, a race in which he finished ninth last year. - NZME

Champion New Zealand harness racing driver Anthony Butt is on the move in Australia again. Butt yesterday confirmed that he and partner, Sonya Smith, were moving from Victoria to Camden, near Menangle, late next week. “It’s a lifestyle thing and fact Timmy (Butt) is now well set-up makes it attractive as well,” Butt said. “I spent so much time going up and back to drive in the better races for Tim last year, it made it hard to juggle that with our stable down here. “And the lifestyle thing, with less meetings and less travel, is certainly very attractive.” Butt will mix stable driving for brother Tim with training a team out of Menangle with Smith. “We’re taking up six horses from here and have half a barn at Menangle,” he said. “Sonya and Andrea (Butt, Tim’s wife) are great mates and it’ll be nice to get us all back together up there.” More immediately, Butt is excited about returning “home” to Christchurch for Cup Week where he has landed the drive on star Aussie trotter Kyvalley Blur. “Lil (trainer Brent Lilley) said I can drive him because I’ll be there so that’s great. “The old horse is flying. “He’s going as well as ever,” he said. “I’ll be there the whole week so I’m on the lookout for other drives as well. “If anyone needs a driver for the Cup, let me know.” - HRNZ
Sire’s first winner The win of Gil Favor at Methven on Sunday credited small-time sire Waterloo Sunset with his first winner. Part-owner and trainer Paul Nairn mixed racing and stallion duties with the son of Sundon back in the spring of 2014, serving four mares with his semen. Two got in foal, Gil Favor being one and the other a filly out of Nairn’s former handy mare Day Of Reckoning. - NZHN
Let-up for Playboy Impressive graduation final winner Robyns Playboy has earned himself a short spell. The Ross Wilsontrained three-year-old broke his maiden when winning the $12,000 Nugget Final at Winton late last month. And he did it impressively, reeling off a sizzling 26.8sec last 400m on an easy Winton track. The victory put the Shadow Play pacer in the early reckoning for this season’s Southern Supremacy Stakes qualifying and earned him a short spell, as well. - NZHN
War Machine back Canterbury trotter War Machine went some way to getting his spring campaign back on track by winning at the Addington trials on Monday. The Tony Barron-trained trotter beat fellow fast class square-gaiter, Bordeaux, by a head in a 2600m standing start heat. War Machine has galloped in his two starts this season, but trotted fluently to the line. The five-year-old is among the most recent withdrawals from next month’s Dominion. - NZHN
Louie hits the track Louie The Horse, a winner at the Cambridge workouts the past two Saturdays, is the first by his sire, Sweet Lou, to be seen in public in New Zealand. The Andrew and Lynn Neal-trained juvenile impressed beating the older horses on Saturday and is expected to target the Young Guns series at Alexandra Park in December. Sweet Lou, who stands at Woodlands Stud, has a first foal crop of 69, including a filly out of former champion race mare Adore Me. - NZHN
Primed for Tristarc Group One winner Aloisia will be looking to recapture her form of last spring when she lines-up in the Gr.2 Tristarc Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on Saturday. The daughter of Azamour won the Gr.1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) and Gr.2 Moonee Valley Vase (2040m) last season, but hasn’t recorded a victory since then. “But you can pretty much put a pen through all of them (autumn runs) except for the Vinery (where she finished third),” trainer Ciaron Maher said. - NZME
Collett injured in fall Expat Kiwi jockey Alysha Collett has suffered a fractured lower backbone and right heel after a race fall at Kranji racecourse in Singapore on Sunday. Her charge, Drone, appeared to be squeezed in restricted room between Thunderstruck (Vlad Duric) and Racer King (Daniel Moor) when Collett fell at the 250m in a Class 4 Non Premier race over 1000m. “It happened so quickly. I felt like I was being catapulted,” Collett said. Fellow jockeys have been rallying around her, especially fellow Kiwi Craig Grylls - NZME

Top Canterbury pacers head Stateside The better pacing ranks in Canterbury took a hit last week with three talented horses departing for America. The trio – Tiger Thompson, Cole Porter and Don Domingo – were all Country Cup winners last sea-

son and will leave a hole in the ranks that were at times waferthin. They all departed Auckland on Friday morning and arrived in New York, via Sydney, China and Alaska, on Monday afternoon (NZ time).
Tiger Thompson and Cole Porter are both headed to Delaware, the same connections that purchased Tiger Thompson’s stablemate, Delishka, back in May. Cole Porter won the Nelson Winter Cup in June when just a
three-year-old for trainer Geoff Dunn and heads to America with four victories under his belt from just 13 starts. Tiger Thompson was a highlyregarded three-year-old for Brad Mowbray but couldn’t quite match
it with his peers last season. Even so, the noted speedster managed to win the Central Otago Cup and place in the Group 1 Easter Cup behind A G’s White Socks. Don Domingo won seven races for Ken Barron. - NZHN

In brief
■ RUGBY
Hookers’ battle looms By Liam Napier Dane Coles is not the type of bloke who enjoys fuss and attention. He much prefers to go about his business with socks down and a scraggy beard, leaving others to bask in the limelight. But his long-awaited return to the All Blacks, after one 16 minute stint off the bench for Wellington in Taranaki last week, stands out beyond the eight rookies among the extended squad of 51. With his first major hurdle now cleared, Coles’ comeback continues in Saturday’s Mitre 10 Cup semi-final against Auckland at Eden Park. With one effort to accelerate and dive on a loose ball in New Plymouth there was a little glimpse of the value Coles immediately brings. And his experience will again benefit Wellington this week. From there, all going well, interest will switch to whether Coles can wrestle back the starting hooking duties from Codie Taylor. Coles has been out that long, and Taylor that good in recent weeks, that it shapes as an intriguing internal battle. Initially at least, Taylor is likely to be preferred. Coles has endured a year from hell, and will still need time to regain full match fitness. That is unlikely to come before the All Blacks face the Wallabies in Yokohama in less than two weeks. Given the frustrating setbacks and countless lonely rehab sessions, there will be no rush with Coles. He made his last test appearance in Paris 11 months ago, playing on for 10 minutes before leaving the field and returning home with an ACL tear that eventually required multiple surgeries. Troublesome calf and hamstring issues further curtailed several attempted comebacks to the point Coles thought it may be better to flag any return until
Newbies for Ferns Black Ferns Head Coach Glenn Moore has called three new players into his squad to play a historic triple header test against the USA in Chicago and two tests against France next month. Young backs Ayesha Leti-I’iga (Wellington), Kilisitina Moata’ane (Otago) and Natahlia Moors (Auckland) received the call-up from Moore following stellar Farah Palmer Cup seasons. Moore said the trio possessed everything a coach wanted in a back; explosive speed, tenacity and great footwork. “They’ve all stood out in the FPC and all three players deserve their selection. This trio will add a lot of firepower to our backline and I’m looking forward to seeing what they can achieve in the Black Ferns environment.” - NZME
RESULTS ■ Golf Ashburton Golf Club Codie Taylor has been making every post a winner in Dane Coles’ absence. next year following a proper preseason with the Hurricanes. The All Blacks, in consultation with physio Pete Gallagher and trainer Nic Gill, largely left the decision in Coles’ hands, knowing his character is never one to return undercooked. In his absence, Taylor has been one of the All Blacks’ most consistent performers. And no-one will recognise that more than Coles. In six Rugby Championship tests alone Taylor played 393 of 480 possible minutes. In the loss to the Springboks in Wellington, he toiled away for 76 minutes. In the modern game, in such a physically taxing front-row role, that is almost unheard of. It typifies the faith Taylor has earned since making his test debut in 2015 – and just how far ahead he and Coles are from the next tier; Nathan Harris, Liam Coltman, Asafo Aumua. In the last two seasons there has been no shortage of opportunities for Taylor to step in for Coles – the three British and Irish Lions tests last year another
prime example while the Hurricanes skipper battled concussion issues. Establishing his presence in the All Blacks-laden Crusaders pack, connecting with influential lineout commanders Sam Whitelock, Kieran Read and Scott Barrett, has accelerated Taylor’s development. Now, after 38 tests, no-one thinks twice when he starts in the test arena. With the All Blacks seemingly down and out – 23-6 behind after 53 minutes and the Boks on a roll – it was Taylor who sparked the initial surge during the great escape at Loftus. The All Blacks had nothing going to that stage. Spotting no pillar in place on the blindside of the ruck, Taylor evaded Siya Kolisi with a burst of speed and put Aaron Smith away with a perfectly-delivered left-hand pass (albeit marginally forward) which gave the All Blacks hope. Similar moments of magic we have come to expect from Coles. His frequent angled runs in the wide channels; pace and passing skills that leave backs envious
revolutionised the hooking brief. In that regard, Taylor has picked up where his mentor left off. With both in the mix, now comes the interesting part of the equation. The HorowhenuaKapiti products are cut from the same jib, and the All Blacks environment is such that Taylor will be as chuffed as anyone to have Coles back. Likewise, Coles will be eager to earn his way back in; not stroll into the starting team as other incumbent All Blacks have done. But ultimately, eventually, every player wants to start. If Coles can regain the sort of form he delivered through the vast majority of his 56 tests, he will be impossible to leave out of the No. 2 jersey. His leadership also adds another strand to an area already exposed at times this season. Taylor has, however, fast matured from prospect to accomplished test rake and will, therefore, push Coles every step of the way. What a one-two punch this will be for the All Blacks. - NZME

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Since most work will be done by, through and with the cooperation of people, anything you do to enhance your individual effectiveness will positively impact the performance of the entire team. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You can theorise all the livelong day, but you’ll never know what will happen until you try it out in real life. Your cosmic gift of the day is the guts to jump in and put your ideas to the test. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): There are things important enough to do whatever the odds are of succeeding. When it’s a matter of right and wrong, the odds are irrelevant. As for the rest, it’s only smart to look at the statistics. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Unless you disrupt the tendency, you’ll drift into a comfortable pattern. This may not be a bad thing; it just depends on what you really want for yourself and how badly you want it. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): People may wear a familiar face as they listen to you, but you never quite know how they are processing the information internally. That’s why it will be important to ask questions and be alert to cues. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): People working things out together – it’s a form of love, or maybe it just is love. That’s what you’ll get today, and even better, you’ll appreciate it. Special connections: Gemini and Libra. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Pay attention to how other people pay attention. It will tell you what you need to know about how to plan your next move. There are no bad positions, but some are easier to navigate than others. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You care about relationships more than being right, and these things go together well. Compassion, softness and tolerance will hold you in good stead today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You needn’t fear change. You’re adaptable, and you will quickly figure out what’s in it for you. It’s right to be a little selfish about this. You need to get a sure footing before you can help others. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Try and concentrate exclusively on what you want to happen. Giving any attention to what you don’t want will only diffuse your power to make good things happen. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The challenge on the table will take a certain amount of physical ability and a whole lot more brain-wringing concentration. You’re gifted in both areas, and you should have no problem. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Natural talent can only take a person so far. It is better not to rely on gifts and to instead put in the work, because then you know how to get results and you can repeat the process.

LADIES ADD TO GREEN MACHINE

Ashburton’s Celtic Rugby Club looks set to field a women’s rugby team in 2019 for what is believed to be the first time in the club’s history. A muster day for potential players was held at the club on Sunday and around 20 keen players turned out, with a number of others messaging organisers to say they were keen but unavailable to make it on Sunday, leaving organisers confident they’d have more than enough to field a team. A women’s team was something
that had been boiling away in the back of Celtic president Kevin Donaldson’s mind for some time, and this season he’d decided to do something about it. The former Ashburton College girls’ first XV coach put it to a club committee meeting in February and was given the green light to explore the feasibility of entering a women’s team in the Christchurch competition. At the same time, Ashburton woman Aleisha Wells and a couple of friends were also trying to rustle up enough players to form a women’s team.
Donaldson said he heard Wells was trying to do the same thing, so the pair spoke and decided to join forces. Around half of those who turned out to the muster day on Sunday had played rugby before, but many – including Wells – had not. “I’ve never played the game, and I’m the driver behind it,” Wells said. A personal trainer by day, Wells was looking forward to getting out onto the field for the first time, as was everyone else who turned out on Sunday.
They were so excited that the decision had been made to start pre-season training now. They will be meeting once a week on Sundays for now, and up it to two trainings a week in the lead-up to the start of the season next year. Donaldson said the Celtic side would probably have to do more than its fair share of travel to Christchurch for games in its inaugural year as it proved its worth, but the club and the players who had already put their hands up were committed. The hunt was now on for a

coach and sponsors for the side, Donaldson said. Donaldson said the Celtic club had put a lot of money into putting more lights up at its Keenans Road grounds, and now had three fields lit which meant more teams could train at the same time at night. For one of the biggest rugby clubs around, that was a valuable addition. “We are bursting at the seams anyway, but this (having a women’s team) just felt like a really good fit for the club,” Donaldson said.
